A thundershower cooled off the city around the dinner hour, when the temperature dropped 12 de- grees. More showers for today are predicted. Cooler weather is due_ today, Forecaster Weightman said. This morning, he said, is likely to be “hot and sticky,’’ but after the thundershowers that are expected later in the day, it will become more pleasant. Tomorrow, he said, will be ‘‘fairly comfortahle.” The cooler weather, Mr, Weight- man said, is coming from the di- rection of the Great Lakes. New York already has received the bene- fit of it, and Philadelphia began to feel it late yesterday. With the closing of government departments and most. business firms at 1 o’clock yesterday, there was a rush to get out of the city.

PIEAGE HIMSELF People Come to His Church Out of Curiosity, He States. NEEDED MORE SEATS Special to The Washington Post. Stamford, Conn., Aug. 14.— A preacher who has a President of the United States among his parish- ioners is more to be pittied than congratulated, the Rev. Dr.. Jason Noble Pierce, minister of the Wash- ington church that President Cool- idge attends, told Kiwanis club members here today. ‘Probably four out ‘of five of those who attend the services are not my people,’”’ he said, “‘but come to the church just to see the Presi- dent. The fact that. he had to ex- tend the seating capacity of the church does not signify a growth in spirituality, but rather an increase in. curiosity. ‘It seems too bad that the Presi- dent has not a right to attend a church service as a man, instead of being made the center for all eyes. There is one thing that both his warmest friends and his bitterest enemies must concede to the Presi- dent and that is his’ consistency in church attendance. He is genuine in his attention to his spiritual duties.”’ Laugh at Drowning In 3 Feet of Water Tampa, Fla., Aug. 14 (By A. P.). Manuel Madrezo, 21, was drowned here in 3 feet of water today while a crowd on the bank watched and laughed at him. He was a few feet from shore in Tampa bay, entertaining the crowd with antics when he suddenly fell and did not rise. Nobody knew he was in danger until too late.

U.S. OL COUNSEL TO MOVE DROPPING OF APPEAL PLEAD 'Wiil Invoke Walsh Law to : Expedite Trials on Indictments. ACT WILL BE FOUGHT AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Called Attempt of Congress to Usurp Interpretative Pow- ers of Judiciary. By ALBERT W. FOX. A new move in the history-mak- ing legal battle between the gov- ernment and the oil companies over the naval oil leases is to be made here on Wednesday. The out- come of this move will affect not only the oil cases but will have a bearing on all future court pro- ceedings in the District of Colum- bia and will settle, one way or the other, the all-important question of whether Congress or the judicial branch of the government is the final arbiter in administering jus- tice and interpreting the law. Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special counsel for the government in the oil lease cases, will file a motion on Wednesday asking the District: court of ap- peals to discontinue consideratien of the special appeals which coun- sel for Albert B. Fall and Edward L. Doheny and Fall and Harry F. Sinclair have made to the court to review the action of Judge Wen- dell P. Stafford, who overruled the demurrers to the conspiracy indict- ments. Power Taken Away. The government’s motion to dis- miss will be based upon the.claim that the bill introduced by Senator Walsh, of Montana, and rushed through.Congress in the final hours | of the last session takes away the power of the court of appeals to decide whether or not the oil case indictments are good or bad until these cases chave come to trial. The Walsh bill provides that the court of appeals shall not have power to review any interlocutory order in a criminal case. An in- terlocutory order is one which passes upon the legal validity of any step in the case prior to trial. Senator Walsh takes the position that the law enacted through his bill can be made retroactive and apply to the special appeals or in- t@Flocutory orders in the oil cases. Counsel for the oil men and for former Secretary of the Interior Fall will at once file briefs with the court opposing the motion of Messrs Pomerene = and_ Roberts. Frank J. Hogan and his associates will file a brief in behalf of Mr. Doheny, Levi Cooke will file on be- half of Fall and George P. Hoover and his associates will file on be- half of Sinclair. Call Law Null and Void. They will take the ground that the Walsh bill is unconstitutional and null and void with respect to the oil cases, as it is merely an at- tempt by Congress to set itself up as a court and reverse the regularly constituted court of appeals in a case now pending befofe that court. It is not the function of the legislaive branch of the government to intrepret laws already on the statute books when such laws are in the process of being interpreted by the courts, according to the counsel opposing the motion of the (CONTINUED ON ‘PAGE 15, COLUMN 4.)

Derham, Friend From School Days—Daughter of Late Postmaster General Granted Divorce. London, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).— Alphonso Francis Austin Smith, who, in 1912, married Ruth Berna- dotte Wynne, daughter of Robert J. Wynne, Postmaster General in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, is being held in Maidstone jail in conneetion with the mysterious murder of John Thomas Derham, who was Smith’s friend from school days at Eton college. Smith was charged yesterday at Canterbury with the attempted murder of Derham with a revolver. Derham died later. The police re- port that when Smith was arrested, his head was heavily bandaged, there was a big bruise under his eye, and that the prisoner asked: ‘“*How is he?”’ Where is the’ se- ducer?’’ Both Smith and Derham are well known—Derham as the grandson of Brig. Gen. Tyler, and Smith as a man who once was immensely wealthy, having inherited two for-| tunes from his grandfathers, both of whom were Canadian million- aires. Smith was formerly an officer in the Dragoon guards. He is un- derstood to have been separated from his wife since 1918. The inquest will be held tomorrow and revelations are expected. New York, Aug. 14 (By A. P.). Mrs. Alphonso Francis Austin Smith, whose husband was held in London today in connection with the murder of John Thomas Der- ham, obtained an interlocutory di- vorce decree in 1922, in the su- preme court here. The divorce action named a Miss Gertrude Lawrence, whom she de- clared as an ‘“‘English girl of 20 and of good family.”’ Testimony at the trial was given to show that Smith and Miss Lawrence had lived to- gether in London from the fall of 1919 until the summer of 1920, and that a daughter was born to Miss Lawrence April 19, 1920. Smith did not, contest his wife’s action. The former Miss Ruth Berna- dotte Wynne, younger of two daugh- ters of the late Robert J.

LIQUOR TRADE INVOLVED Canton, Ohio, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—Whatever evidence any one has concerning the murder of Don R. Mellett, publisher of the Canton Daily News, will be sought by the Stark county grand jury next. week. Following the statement by Joseph, R. Roach, famous “clean up” at- torney, that while inquiring into the alleged’ liquor conspiracy in Canton he had procured conclusive evidence against the murderers, Prosecutor C. B. McClintock an- nounced today that his information will be welcomed in the grand jury investigation. Court action thus is to be breught into play to release if pos- sible the strangle hold which out- side investigators declare the un- derworld and political cliques have fastened on Canton. Roach says evidence which he possesses and which should be investigated by the grand jury includes the follow- ing: That the bullet which killed Mellett was fired from a revolver of foreign make owned by a prom- inent member of Canton’s under- world. That Canton police officials knew of the murder plot against Mellett and at least one police officer took part in the assassination. That police officials have sisi protecting the murderers and have aided in covering up clews.

OUTPUT OF OIL NOT CUT Mexico City, Aug. 14 (By A. P.). With the religious situation still deadlocked, Mexican Catholics are preparing for their third Sunday without priests officiating in the churches. It will be an important day in the Catholic calendar——the feast of the Assumption. Ordinarily the day is observed with special ceremonial in all the Catholic churches of Mexico, but this will be impossible tomorrow because of the withdrawal of the priests by order of the episcopate in protest against the new reli- gious regulations. Considerable interest exists as to whether Cath- olics, who have worshiped. in the churches in comparatively small numbers since the priests ceased their minstrations, will attend in larger crowds, or whether, because of the day’s significance, any popu- lar demonstrations will occur. There was a sense of relief evinced in Catholic circles today over last night’s announcement’ by the government that it had been decided not to ‘“‘consign’’—that is, make formal charges against—the venerable archbishop of Mexico, Most Rev. Mora y del Rio, for an interview which he ,granted re- cently to the correspondent of an American newspaper.

Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills were murdered became the object of a still hunt by New Jersey State troopers and detectives today. “I have the bullets that killed Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills and I want the gun that fired the bullets,”’ Alexander Simpson, special prose- cutor, declared. ‘Firearm experts tell me the bullets were. discharged from an automatic revolver.”’ Simpson, confident that the eye- witness testimony of Mrs. Jane Gibson, allegedly linking Dr. Hall’s widow, her brother, Willie Stevens and her cousin, Henry de la B. Carpender, with the crime, will stand up before a grand jury, is now intent on discovering as many as possible of the missing exhibits in the case. Chief among these is the gun, which, it has been ‘reported to Simpson, was turned over to the late Prosecutor Azariah Beekman, of Somerset county, directly after the double murder four years ago. Searched. The home of Marcus W. Beek. man, a brother of Azariah, in Plain- field, N. J., was searched for the weapon late last night, but without success. ~The preliminary examination of Stevens and Carpender will be re- sumed Monday . morning before Judge Frank L. Cleary in Somer- ville. At that time Simpson is expected to put three witnesses on the stand in an effort to corroborate the tes- timony of Mrs. Jane Gibson, the pig woman, developed that she saw Stevens, Carpender and Mrs. Hall at the murder scene. One of these witnesses is Willard Staub, of New Brunswick, who is held in $3,090 bail as a material witness in the county jail at Somer- ville. According to Simpson, Staub told a State trooper who was in civilian clothes, that he was with a woman friend 75 feet from the crabapple tree under which Hall and Mrs. Mills were killed-and saw the crime committed. “But when Staub found out he had been talking to a policeman,” Brother’s Home (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COLUMN 2.)

The sight of Fallon’s right eye is threatened. The right side of his face below the ear is badly burned and he may be scarred for life. The assault took place in room 815 of the Hotel Belleclaire Thurs- day afternoon. Every effort was made to keep the affair a secret.

WOULD UTILIZE IDEAS FESS BILL CONTAINED C. S. Barrett Sees President on $100,000,000 Sum to oss Market. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Paul Smiths, N. Y.. Aug. 14.—A move of extfaordinary significance is being made by the Coolidge ad- ministration, it transpired today, to put into effect, privately and unof- ficially, the farm relief program in- dorsed by the President in the last session of Congress. If this prcject, which is said ts have been cenceived by Mr.-Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, proves suc- cessful, powerful banking zruvps, insurance companies, and mort- gage loan concerns will form a parol of $100,000,000 or more to be lent to agricultural cooperative market- ing organizations for financing the marketing of farm products at in- creased prices. Some of the preliminary nego- tiations involved were disclosed to- day by Charles S, Barrett, head. of the Nationa] Farmers’ union, who came here to confer with the President at the latter’s ‘nvitation cultural problem. After a ts- hour conference with Mr. Coolidge at the executive office here, Mr. Barrett accompanied the President to White Pine camp as a week-end guest. a Has Visited Bankers. way to the Adirondacks he stopped in New York and talked with Wail Street bankers about the plan to get the financiers and the farmars int a conference in the near future with a view to interesting the bank- ers in a solution of the agricultural problem.. He declined to go into detaijJs and after his conferercea with the President said he was net at liberty to disclose the nature vf their discussion. It is understood, however, that the plan to be broached to the banking interests and other credit agencies is that which was consid- ered yesterday by President Coolidge and Secretary Hoover. The President made it known that, in a general way, the proposal is to organize the banks, insurance com- panies and mortgage loan concerns into an instrumentality for extend- ing credits to agriculture on a large scale. Mr. Hoover is now work- ing on the plan, which in the event of its approval, by the interests concerned, is expected to material- ciers, representatives of the farmers and government officials. Follows Fess Bill. The Fess bill, which was favored by President Coolidge, but which was beaten in the Senate by the corn belt Republicans and Southern Democrats, proposed an appropria- tion $100,000,000 from the na- tional Treasury to be loaned to farmers’ cooperative organizations for financing a program of surplus control. Under its terms, the farm mar- keting board would promote agree- ments limiting production, would allocate loans from the government fund to enable the cooperatives to purchase and hold farm products for a price rise, prevent the dump- ing of products on the market, and otherwise Qperate to prevent the surplus from establishing the price. The President was willing to ac- cept this plan, but was unalterably opposed to the corn belt plan of surplus control emboided in the McNary-Haugen bill, which he pronounced price fixing and eco- nomically ‘unsound. Price Fixing Opposed. ‘After confer®ing here with the President a few weeks ago, Senator Fess (Republican) indicated that there has been no abatement of op- position on the part of the ad- ministration following in Congress to the McNary-Haugen plan.

OFFICERS | ARE ELECTED Not a single accident was suf- fered by the 2,000 deaf-mutes who have been in Washington the last week for the. fifteenth triennial convention of the National Asso- ciation of the Deaf. The ‘‘silents,’’ as they call them- selves, were on the go almost all of the time, and walked through the most heavily congested streets in the city. That no accidents befell them is regarded as. another argu- ment in favor of giving deaf-mutes driving permits. Only one State now refuses to give them permits—New Hamp- shire. Many of those living in other States drove here for the conven- tion. The convention, which was held in the Willard hotel, came to a close yesterday with the election of officers. The closing ceremony was the “‘singing’’ of ‘‘Home, Sweet Home,” by Miss Doris Ballance, of New York. She gave the famous ballad in the sign language. Arthur L. Roberts, of Chicago, was reelected president of the as- sociation; Larcus L. Kenner, New York, first vice president; - Miss Clara Bell Rogers, South Carolina, second vice president; and Freder- ick F. Moore, New Jersey, secre- | tary-treasurer. The three board members elect- ed were Michael Lapides, Connecti- cut; William Schaub, Missouri, and Dr. Olof Hanson, Seatthe, Wash. Prof. Harley Drake, of this city, was named trustee. The convention adopted resolu- tions thanking the Washington press for having reported the affair with ‘‘sense instead of sentiment.” The location of the next conven- tion was left to the decision of the executive board, although one dele- gate, with fingers flying furiously, tried to stampede the organization into holding the next gathering at the north pole. Dog Attacks Police Squad in Liquor Raid Raiding a. house at 627 ‘Gorden avenue northeast, last night, police of the Ninth precinct, led by Lieut. Sidney Marks, seized thirteen gal- lons of whisky, they reported. Will- iam Mackey, colored, 51 years old, was arrested and charged with sale and illegal possession of whisky. When the raiding squad entered the yard adjoining the ‘house they said they were attacked by a large German police dog. They subdued thé animal with their night sticks. The house was equipped with a com- plete alarm system, Lieut. Marks said. Occupants of the house could touch a button in any part of the building and spread the alarm to every room. 4 PERSONS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS One Car Sideswiped and Is Forced Into Ditch; Another in Collision. Four persons were injured in two automobile accidents last night on the Washington-Baltimore boule- vard. They were Mr. and Mrs. Mor- ris Braco, 4406 . Seventh street northwest, and Mr. and Mrs. James Thornton, of Colmar Manor, Md. Mr. and Mrs. Braco were the vic- tims of a ‘“‘hit-and-run’’ driver. The car in which they were riding was sideswiped near Colmar Manor, and ran approximately 15 feet down an embankment, police say, before coming to a stop. The two occu- pants- were thrown through the windshield of the car. Hamilton Bryden, of Colmar Ma- “nor, helped them into his automo- bile and hurried to Sibley hospital.

The car did not stop but dragged the*McIntyre woman 40° feet. Berman, who weights 220 pounds was attracted by the injured woman’s cries’ and stopped the car by throwing his weight against the front of it.

He later returned home. Police found gas escaping from an open jet in the basement, said to have been turned on accidentally.

TO SEEK DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL ENFORCEMENT Improved Control Over Liquor Traffic Is Aim; Defends Use of Denaturants. - ane (By the Associated Press.) Lincoln C. Andrews, chief of the prohibition forces, discussed plans yesterday upon his return from London for developing enforcement and improving control over the liquor traffic. First, attention will be given, however, to organizing the division of foreign control to carry out the terms of the rum smuggling agree- ment negotiated with Great Britain. Andrews will call on the State Department tomorrow for the serv- ices of Harry J. Anslinger, Ameri- can consul in the Bahama islands, to organize this division, which probably will include only members of the State and Commerce De- partments now in foreign services. He hoped to get his agreement, which he believes will go far to- ward eliminating rum smuggling, into effect at an early date, after | which details of the understanding | reached with Great Britain will be announced. Declares Enforcement Policy. Discussing enforcement, Andrews declared the policy would be ‘‘con- centration on the liquor traffic and development of local law enforce- ment.”’ : ‘We are getting the whip hand on the traffic and sources of supply and now I want to develop local enforcement,”’ he said. “I will call all my administrators here for a. conference about September when we will outline that policy.” it perna Tasted Liquor On His Trip to London ———e—— (By Associated Press.) Brig. Gen. Lincoln C, An- drews, chief of the prohibition forces, disclosed yesterday that he had perhaps gotten a little taste of liquor on his trip to. London in the form of solids, “I think the captain of our vessel on the return trip per- mitted some pancakes soaked in rum to be served me,” Gen. Andrews said, ‘‘and I also tasted some iced sherbet, which ap- parently had some champagne in it. But I told the captain it was al right for I had to eat.” ~ A ‘‘Reiterating that he had not re- signed and “‘am not considering it,”’ Andrews warned that he expected Congress at the December session “to do its part’’ and enact the legis- lation he had proposed as vital to law enforcement. ‘The least Congress can do,’’ he said, “is to enact the reorganiza- tion bill giving us an adequate or- ganization. The House already has passed it.”’ Holds Detnaturants Necessary. Commenting again on use of gasoline and wood alcohol in dena- turing alcohol used for industrial purposes in an attempt to prevent its diversion to beverage channels, General Andrews insisted this was necessary. “Our constant aim,’’ he explain- ed, “is to get some ingredients to put in this alcohol which by their odor and taste will warn drinkers that the alcohol is not genuine but which at the same time not prove poisonous to the drinkers. The gasoline and wood alcohol is now used in such small quantities that cannot prove deadly or even serious. The law of 1906 demands that we denature this alcohol in or- der that it may be detected from | beverage alcohol which is taxable.’’ U. S.-German Cable Section Completed Emden, Germany, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—The first section of the direct cable which is to connect Germany and the United States by way of the | Azores has been completed.

IN EVERY CENT SPENT Commercial Passenger, Ex- press Services Means Build- ing Great Aerial Defense. Chicago, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).— A nation-wide system of commer- cial aviation, financed by private enterprise and sponsored by the govergment, was pictured here to- day by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, as offering to America a statinch aerial reserve, saving the government billions of dollars for air defense, while dé- veloping business, speeding trans-: portation and thriving in its own right. The secretary outlined exclu- sively to the Associated Press the government’s ambitious program for commercial air development, made possible by legislation of the last congress, actually put into motion with the appointment this week of an under-secretary of commerce to direct aerial develop- ment, and given impetus yesterday with designation by President Coolidge of the first two of a chain of national airways. The immediate program contem- plates the rendering of the same aid to aircraft that the government now gives to navigation, and an- ticipates the turning over shortly of the transcontinental air mail car- riage to private companies. Further Aid Planned. , But beyond that, as the major objective, the administration’s plan |is to befriend commercial flying so ! | | the | that it will flourish and grow into 10,| channel to’ the Azores, will be laid national aeronautic available to the govern- an efficient structure “ rer Me , Sil rie we pert gay eV ew ae a weet , ment in an emergency for the na- tional defense, thus saving the gov- ernment the tremendous cost of establishing an maintaining an aviation service solely for wartime uses. Commercial flying and a nation- wide airmail, expresS afid passen- ger system, Secretary Hoover said, “ts a considerable help to banks, speeding collections and saving in- terest; it expedites the movement of emergency express, and it en- ables faster travel than the rail- roads give, for those who. wish it. “But the major purpose at the moment is for the value of com. mercial aviation as a military re- serve, shifting the burdem of de- velopment and maintenance from private enterprise to the govern- ment. “Before there can be any. real development of commercial avia- tion,’’ Hoover said, “the Federal department of aviation must pro- vide the same services it provides for navigation—lighting of air fields, maps of air routes, emer- gency landing fields, and markings for everyday flying. We will en- deavor, too, to provide radio infor- mation to pilots. We must provide rules for airways, and inspection to assure safety in planes. Why Government Helps. “No one private company could afford to provide those services for a great national system. They will be undertaken: by the government in the belief that we can establish commercial aviation and so every $100 spent for such sponsorship and service will save $1,000 to the government in other directions. “We have to maintain large army, navy and postal air forces. If we can establish a large number of planes with pilots and personnel, and if we can establish the aerial manufacturing industry by giving it an outlet in commercial aviation, we will form a great military re- serve and will enable great economy in war and naval expenditures, and by contracting for air-mail deliv- ery we will save for the Postoffice Department. “The United States air mail can not carry passengers or express, so private companies would have op- portunity for larger revenues. And private operation is more efficient. Chicago Natural Hub. ‘“‘We have designated the first two great national airways—from New York to the Pacific coast via Chicago, and from Chicago to Dal- las. There will be a number of others named as soon as we have evidence of regular service over new routes.

We hope to see some one strong enough soon to take over the transcontinental air mail in con- junction with passenger and express services. “Cities contemplating develop- ment of commercial air transporta- tion must consider airports in the larger view. The Federal govern- ment will take the same attitude on airports as seaports. Provision for airports is the duty of municipali- ties, like the job of providing docks and seaports.’”’ The ‘‘whole raison d’etre of the commercial aircraft business,’’ Mr. Hoover concluded, is expedition of movement in business and persons, and this field, he feels, is ripe for development, As it develops the government will profit.

FIGHT IS OUTGROWTH OF ASSAULT CHARGES Pair Arrested in Connection With Attack July 20; Deny Guilt. or Miss Ethel Clawans, 27 years bld, 1420 Fifteenth street north- west, who with Mrs. Mary E. Warneke, 28 years old, 929 New York avenue northwest, is accused of assaulting with intent to kill Mrs. Myrtle M. Rosenfield, of Mount Rainier, Md:, was knocked unconscious by Mrs. Rosenfield yes- terday in a fist fight, which pre- ceded the preliminary hearing in the case. The scene of the fight and the hearing was the lawn in the rear of the office of Constable Thomas Garrison, in Hyattsville. The ex- cessive heat was the cause of hold- ing the hearing outdoors and a very heated argument between the two women was the cause of the fight. When Miss Clawans entered the office, it is said, she accused George usband of the essault victim, of bribing his way out ‘of everything he got into.’’ A few minutes later, under a shade tree in the rear of the office, Miss Clawans and Mrs. Rosen- field engaged in an argument. Blows Said to Rain Freely Mrs. Rosenfield, it is said, at- tacked the accused woman and blows rained freely. Roy Fergue- s0n, 1416 Twentieth street north- pessiens, 3 aviation promoter and west, a spectator, ran to the front’ opt “arsteperasteas 'ed an investigation of District af- of the office to call the police, who were standing there awaiting the ar- rival of other principals in the case. Lieut. James McQuade, of the Sec- ond precinct, a character witness for Mrs. Warenke, endeavored to sepa- rate the combatants, and succeeded in pulling Mrs. Rosenfield away.just as Miss Clawans fell unconscious to the ground as the result of a blow. Twenty minutes later Miss Clawans was revived in the office by Dr. J. T. Willis, of Hyattsville, a spectator at the hearing. The hearing began a few minutes later with Justice of the Peace John J. Fainter presiding. Miss Clawans pleaded not guilty to charges of as- Bulgarian Border Raid Reported After Note Vienna, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).— Almost simultaneously with the de- livery to Bulgaria of the joint note of the little entente protest against border raids by Bulgarian comi- tadji, another such incident ig re- ported. ' A message to the “Tel Com- pany” from Uskub, Serbia, says Bulgarian bandits crossed the fron- tier yesterday and kept up an in- cessant fire on the Jugoslav gend- armes, guarding the frontier. One of the gendarmes was wounded. The Bulgarians, the message adds, eventually recrossed the frontier, leaving two dead behind and tak- ing a number of wounded with them. COMPROMISE EXPECTE 0 SH0,000 TA CLANS Half of $1,000,000 Owing to District May Be Settled This Summer. MOSTLY PUBLIC UTILITIES — | Approximately half of the $1,000,000 outstanding tax claims owing the District are expected to be settled this summer, according to Francis H. Stephens, corporation counsel. A compromise is to be effected, but Mr. Stephens would not make known the terms. Virtually all of the claims are against public utill- ties, notably the Washington Ter- minal Co., the Washington Gas Light Co. and the traction com- panies. They range back as far as 1910. Approximately half of the total claims which Mr. Stephens hopes to settle have been in litigation for several years. The other half, while showing on the tax books, have not yet reached his office. The full extent of the claims were revealed and were the sub- ject of criticism by the House Dis- trict subcommittee which conduct- fairs. Representative Gilbert, of Kentucky, who specialized in this phase of local affairs, admonished the corporation counsel not to grant an inch. A compromise was out of the question, Mr. Gilbert insisted. The corporations either owed the taxes or they did not and if they did, he contended, the average citi- zen who had to pay his taxes would not understand a compromise. Mr. Stephens, who has had his troubles in court, however, is not inclined to stick to a hard and fast rule, and as the matter presents itself to him, it is a case of getting what he can. The settlements, it is known, are to be subject of sault and battery with intent to/|scrutiny by the investigating com- kill and larceny, and Mrs. Warenke entered a similar plea to a charge | mittee to meet next month, and quite probably there will be some eof assault and battery with intent|ado about them. to kill. Attorney J. Wilson Ryon appeared for Miss ,Clawans and State’s Attorney Alan isowie repre- sented the State. Since the arrest of the two women a month ago, the hearing has been postponed three times. Mrs. Rosenfield Tells of Attack. Mrs. Rosenfield was the princi- pal witness, neither of the accused women taking the siand. Mrs. Rosenfield testified that on the night of July 20 she was attacked in her home in Newton street, Mount Rainier, by two women, one of large and one of small stature. She described the women. § They Ragged her, tied her to a bedpost and attempted to force a liquid, which tasted like medicine, into her mouth. One of her assailants kicked her, she said. They de- manded a letter which had been addressed to her husband and which requested money. Unable to find the letter, they took $14 and fled. The accused were held for action of the grand jury, which meets in October. Miss Clawans was freed in $2,000 and Mrs. Warneke in $1.500 bail. Miss Clawans _ inti- mated that as a result of the fight she would attempt to have Mrs. Rosenfield indicted by the grand jury for assault and battery. Peoria Police Chief ~ Rode in Stolen Auto Chicago, I!]., Aug. 14 (By A. P*). Recovery of eleven stolen automo- bites and clues to a score more were announced tonight by Police Ser- Seant Frank A. McDonald on his return from Peoria, investigating a stolen car market there. One of the stolen cars was being driven by J. Shirley West, chief of police of Peoria, and another by Jess Weast, assistant stateS attorney of Peoria county. Weast’s secretary, Policeman Richard Clandein, was driving another car, the serial number of Which corresPonded with that of a car stolen in Chicago. WARNING FOR MINOR TRAFFIC CASES URGED T. P. Henry, A. A. A. Presi- dent, Would Severely Pe- nalize Serious Offenders. A warning for minor traffic vio- lations and severe penalty for the more serious offenses will bring better results than hailing every ‘{erring motorist into court, Thomas P. Henry, president of the Ameri- can Automobile Association, declar- ed in a statement made public yos- terday, “There is nothing to be gained bv hailing hundreds and thousands of motorists into court on the slightest pretext,” said Mr. Henry. Traffic regulations were meant to bring order into the use of public thor- oughfares and not to make respect- able citizens feel that they had in them the makings of desperate criminals.’’ Mr. Henry said every one 1s apt to be “absent-minded at times.’’ “A warning in such instaaces probk- ably will have much more effect than an arrest. The motorist wi!) be more likely to remember thet he has done wrong and avoid it in the future,’’ Mr. Henry said. Trail of Boy Is Found; Lost 2 Days in Wilds Portland. Ore., Aug. 14 (By A.

This brings the total ac- ceptances to 21. : Convinced that there are thou- sands of lost souls in Chicago's “Loop” who will “gladly climb a few flights of stairs for salva- tion,”’ the Rev.

MEASUREMENTS MADE OF HER RESIDENCE Two Beekman Search War- rants Issued; Murder Scene Revisited. Somerville, N. J., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—The taking of photographs and measurements of the Hall home in New Brunswick today were added to the mystery of the slaying four years ago of the Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. James Mills, for which crime the minister’s widow, her brother and a cousin are charged with murder. Senator Alexander Simpson, special deputy attorney general ap- pointed to prosecute the case, ac- companied by Inspector Underwood, of Jersey City, and Patrick Hayes, chief investigator, appeared at the recently remodeled tome this after- noon with newspaper photographer and an architect. Search warrants for the homes of Frederick Beekman and Marcus Beekman, brothers of the late Aziriah Beekman, prosecutor of ’ Somerset county, were obtained to- day by Mr. Simpson as a step to- ward obtaining all papers bearing on his investigation. Some of the papers were turned over to Mr. Simpson yesterday by Marcus Beek- man. The special prosecutor said today that ‘‘an important docu- ment’ had been found among these papers. Will Stop “Leaks.”’ Mr. Simpson made known today that when he has completed his public hearing he will take tran- scripts of all the testimony before Chief Justice Gummere and seek cancellation of the $15,000 bail on which Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, was released from jail after she had been arrested on a charge of mur- der. If he ‘should be successful, Mrs. Hall would ke returned to jail. The special prosecutor also an- nounced that he had placed a de- tective in the Somerville telephone exchange as a result of the allezed “leaking’’ of information _ tele- phoned to the State police by wit- Besses and investigators for the State. Mrs. Hall did not come out of the house while the measurements | were taken, but Russell E. Watsén., one of her attorneys, offered the party plans of the building. These were declined. Cursory measurements were made of the house and grounds and pictures taken by New York photographers. Mr. Simpson said he asked the newspaper men to do the work for him because official photographers were not available. The party then left for the Phillips farm, just over the Middle- sex county line, where the bodies were found under a crab apple tree. The distance between the spot where the bodies had lain and the home of Mrs. Jane Gibson, who yesterday identified Willie Stevens, Mrs. Hall’s brother, and Henry Carpender, her cousin, as the per- sons she saw there on the night of the murder, were measured — by driving an automob{jle over the route. Earlier in the morning Mr. Simp- 80ND questioned several unidentified witnesses at State trooper head- quarters. Inspector Underwood announced he had telegraphed the San Fran- cisco police a request for sworn statements from Henry Dickman, and lone hand investigator in the origi- nal investigation. He did not ex- pect the depositions before Tues- day. Dickman is serving a term in the military disciplinary barracks at Ajcatraz Island. Army authori- tles, Underwood said, had signified their willingness to turn Dickman over to the New Jersey authorities. A San Francisco paper had. quoted Dickman as having admitted that he accepted a bribe to drop his in- vestigation and disappear. This was later denied by Col. William Mor- row, commandant of the discipli- nary barracks. Carpender and Stevens will re- main in the county jail until Mon- day morning, when the hearing to determine if they shall be held for indictment on charges of murder- ing the couple, will be resumed be- fore Judge Cleary. PYTHIANS TO MEET IN DETROIT, IN 1928 Chicago, Aug. 14 (By A. P.).— The supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias in the thirty-fourth bi- ennial convention here today de- cided to award the next meeting, two years hence, to Detroit, Mich. Selection of the next convention city, reception of numerous reports of committees, and an address from Capt. G. W. Spoerry, of the United States army, in behalf of the lepers on Cullion island, Philippine islands, comprised the day's business. The committee on good of the a “order, which had recommended a negative vote on a resolution spon- Spoerry, which would have the supreme lodge rec- ommend to the various State lodges that a fund of proximately $2,000,000 be raised ‘for furthering the work of interesting of Congress. ; -.

Pavichich, Jugoslavian minister to this country, and Stefan Pararetoff, former Bulgarian min- ister, were the principals in the tilt which took place at the Institute of Politics during: a discussion of the problem of minorities — in Mace- donia. M.

Carpender, head of| the Brunswick-Kroeschell. Refrig- | erator Co., New Brunswick. a/| cousin of Mrs. Hall, Will C.

M. Panaretoff, clearly incensed, punctuated his opponent’s. state- ments with dissenting ejaculations. After the discussion had ended, Dy. J. S. Reeves, chairman of the conference at which the verbal title occurred, remarked that the influ- ence of the League of Nations in harmonizing the various racial and cultural minorities in Europe, was ‘‘manifestly not highly successful.”’ A break down of Chile’s world monopoly of the nitrates will ulti- mately result through the manufac- ture of synthetic nitrate, Dr. H. A. Curtis, professor of chemical engi- neering at Yale, predicted in an ad- dress before the institute. This, he said, would result ina reduction of the high export tax by which the ‘Chilean industry has so long been maintained. He pointed to a re- duction of 5 per cent in the price of Chilean nitrate for the coming year, and said there would be other reductions. Chile in the past has sroduced 95 per cent of the world’s supply of nitrates, he said, and the country’s income from this source paid from one-third to two- PRIVATE COOLIDGE SAID TO SEEK AID FOR FARMS (CONTINCED FROM PAGE 1.) the only farm relief legislation passed at the last session of Con-| gress creates a cooperative market- | ing division in the Department of | Agriculture for the express purpose | of promoting the formation of more | and stronger cooperatives. All that these cooperatives need | is adequate financing to realize the objects of the Fess bill. If the bankers, insurance companies and mortgage loan concerns were will- ing to provide the funds, the financiers and farm cooperatives, it is suggested, might, without much difficulty, organize the - central marketing agency to handle these loans and supervise the regulation of production and marketing of products which would have been set up by the Fess bill. Would Fix Interest. The financial interests raising the fund would be reinybursed at an. agreed rate of interest, as it was provided by the Fess bil) that the government should be reimbursed. President Coolidge is convinced that this plan is the soundest meas- ure for farm relief that has been proposed up to date. He believes that if it were given a fair trial the problem of the farmers would be solved. For that reason unusual significance attaches to the moves being made by the administration to put the scheme into effect at this time. It is understood that the admin- istration is satisfied that it has unquestioned power under existing law to promote and supervise a credit agency of the character sug- gested. The operations of farm cooperatives to restrict production and combine to enhance prices of their products are already exempt from prosecution for violation of the Sherman antitrust law, having been so exempted by legislation several years ago. If the administration should be able to put this plan into effect before the November election or even to get it well under way, the Republican leaders undoubtedly would expect it to redound toc the benefit of the G. O. P. and of the President particularly. Actors and Churchmen Received by President / Paul Smiths, N. Y., Aug. 14 (By A.

P.) Stabilization of land values was a result of inflation in 1920 and sub- sequent forced sales to be studied by tte Department of Commerce in cooperation with the Treasury and Agriculture departments, Secretary of Commerce Hoover announced here today. The Secretary issued a statement] in response to requests for ampli- fication of his interveiws from the summer White House on farm mort- gage foreclosure questions. ; “The, discussion,”” he said, ‘did not enter upon the general questions of farm relief which lie in the prov- ince of the Department of Agricul- ture. . “Statements have been presented to the President showing that the prices of land in some sections have been depressed below the real value, in the swing downward from the inflated period in 1920, and that this is accelerated by forced sales under foreclosures of mort- gages placed at that time, and therefore a surplus of land is being offered for sale. “The Department of Commerce will cooperate with the departments of Agriculture and Treasury in in- vestigation of the situation and in cooperation with private agencies to see what remedy can be applied to the situation, which will tend to stabilize land values. } “The Federal Reserve Bank offi- cials and the farm loan board of the Minneapolis-St. Paul district are already earnestly considering the situation.

10 ATTSVILE FIRE COMPANY'S SPEED WINS POST TROPHY } Is First in Pumper Contest at Riverdale; Also in Hook- Up Competition. -FIREMEN UNDETERRED BY HEAVY RAINFALL ‘Mount Rainier Captures Non- pumper Prize; Local Men Twice Disqualified. ~ In a blaze of speed and dizzy *manipulation of equipment in both “instances, the Hyattsville Volunteer _Fire company won two cups at the -convention of the Prince Georges “County Volunteer Firemen’s asso- “clation at Riverdale yesterday. The . Washington Post cup in the pumper ‘contest with a time of 48% seconds, ‘and the cup in the two-company ‘hookup contest with a time of 51 ‘seconds. The Hyattsville men in winning ‘the contest presented two exhibi- «tions of fire-fighting hard to’ excel. -Hardly a motion was lost by the ‘men. The contests were conducted in “a driving rain, the firemen contin. uing despite the weather. The rain! .drove onlookers in the firehouse | “and houses nearby, where they wit-| “nessed the exhibitions from win- dows and doors. The last contest! was conducted after nightfall, but | still the firemen refused to be de-| *terred. Cottage City Threatens. The Cottage City company, fol- ‘lowing Hyattsville in the pumper “contest, threatened to carry away ‘the cup, but won second place with *a time of 51 seconds. They worked under the disadvantage of rain.| They made a run previous to this, but were disqualified on a techni-' _ cality. * This excellent group of fire fight- -ers fell into misfortune generally in the contests, just as did the Riv- .erdale volunteers, hosts to the con- ‘vention, and winners last year. » The Riverdale department, the ‘only other in the pumper contest, defaulted when the water was turn- | ed on before the connection was, thoroughly fitted. Being interested -_in the contests, naturally the men were keenly disappointed when mis- «fortune thwarted their efforts. The Post cup was presented by -Chief W. C. Gray, of the River- ‘dale department, to Noble Rushe, chief of the Hyattsville department, THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1926.

J, Bargagni, chairmal of the committee arranging the .local firemen’s parade in Septem- sber, of No. 13 truck company, and *P. E. Bradburn, assistant chiet of the Greater Capitol Heights Fire company. ' The convention marked a gala «day in Riverdale, a large crowd *attending the event. Visiting com- panies from other counties were -present. Homes in Riverdale were ‘decorated with flags. » Just before the contests a pa- "rade of all the companies and com- panies from other counties was sheld through the streets of River- ‘dale. Arrangements were made to ‘allow a quick get-away of the “trucks in case of a fire. ; Convention Elects Officers, * In tye business meeting which opened the convention Francis H. “Crown, chief of the Mount Rainier -department, was elected president for the coming year to succeed L. ‘L.

Two men were in the car with the woman. One of them was a professional instructor. It was he who had just wrenched the woman’s paralyzed feet from the pedals. The other man was Policeman Dan Secretary of| Foley, of the traffic bureau. The scene was the park opposite the house of detention, Fifteenth street and Ohio avenue northwest. What the perspiring Foley said as | he emerged from the car is not on record and probably could not be printed if it were. However, there is a record of the decision he had It was to the effect 'that this was one woman who was A. Howard | Dorsey, | not entitled to a driver’s permit. That was why Policeman Foley 'was in the machine—to see if the woman could drive well enough to have a permit. He wasn’t riding for his health. Policeman Foley is one of the five unsung heroes in the traffic bu- reau, whose job it is to examine ap- plicants for driver’s permits, a job that includes a ride with every ap- plicant. The other four examiners are Po- licemen Charles Schreyer, O. E. Rehbein, O. H. Wells and H. H. Hoke. How would you like to take a ride with 50 or 60 neophyte drivers every day, whether you wanted to or not? Well, that is what their job means. If any evidence is needed to prove that the job is a hazardous one, it is the fact that 30 per cent of the applicants are denied permits .\because they. are not believed to be capable drivers. Policeman Dan Foley, who is the dean of the corps of examiners, has examined 40,000 drivers in the five years or more he has been detailed to the traffic bureau. He and Sergt. Milton Smith were the first men as- signed to the work, taking up their duties April 5, 1921. Theretofore, applicants for permits, with the ex- ception of minors, mits simply for the asking.

P:).—Speaking at a Republican here last night, Representa- tive Albert Johnson, chairman of the immigation cOmmittee of the House of Representatives, said he had “inside information that made him believe that the Reed amend- ment to the Johnson immigration act concerning national origins’”’ will not become. effective. Mr. Johnson said: “Tf the national origins amend- ment of Senator son immigration act breed bad feeling in the United States among those of German! birth and Scandinavian ancestry and result in friction at home, you may rest assured that it will not be put into effect. The house com- mittee on immigration, on which I have the honor to be chairman, will find still another way further to regulate and restrict immigra- tion on the selective plan now in force. ‘The house committee saw to it that the senate national origins amendment had two saving clauses added to it——one that three desig- nated cabinet officers must agree to the national origins statistics; the other that the President must issue a proclamation, and if that is not issued, the 2 per cent restriction on the 1890 census should not con- tinue. That is what 1 predict will happen. Woman in Oklahoma Seeks Governorship Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug.’ 14 (By A.

The Alamo city no longer is the svild west town that it was as re- cently as the beginning of the twentieth century. The coming of industry and increasing population have dissipated the atmosphere that was particularly hers in an- other century.

An aged horseman in cowboy garb, at the end of a long journey, guides his steed down the left side of the city’s main thoroughfare dodging automobiles, while after- theater crowds pause to stare at this now strange sight. An old Mexi- can in a rickety cart slowly crosses an intersection against the red traffic light. and adds to the wor- ries of the hurrying motorists. Din of Civilization. The ringing of traffic bells, the clanging and grinding of street cars, and the honking of automo- biles rerd the air at a busy down- town intersection a few yards from the little building where O. Henry lived and wrote some of his stories. The best marksmen with ‘“‘six- shooters’? are now on the sheriffs force and in the police department. Two-gun men among the civilians are unknown. If a person pub- licly displays a revolver or is found to have one in his pocket without a permit he is certain to be ar- rested. The narrow streets of Spanish- Mexican village days are being widened. Old buildings are being razed and the architectural prides of the city now are large and beau- tiful structures. On the ‘west side,”’ as the Mexi- Can quarter is known, are many small, unpainted shacks which serve as homes just as they did decades ago. But most of the Mex- icans have been Americanized. They pile into decrepit automobiles and mix in city and rural traffic with the limousines of San Antonio’s well-to-do. The girls and youths affect the same styles adopted by the Nordic ‘‘jellybeans,’’ and all brush shoulders on the crowded downtown sidewalks in the eve- nings. Civie Clubs Take Hold. The luncheon -and civic clubs have taken hold. Seven in number, they include virtually all the city’s business and professional men. San Antonio, in the old days, was noted for the number of its saloons. Now, soft-drink stands flourish in preat abundance. Main Plaza, where, years ago, cowboys hitched their horses while they ‘‘hoisted”’ glasses in barrooms, now is con- gested with dozens of parked auto- mobiles.

NEW PERMITS Autoists Who Failed to Send Old Card Numbers Will Be Refused. Nearly 5,000 applicants for re- newed automobile drivers’ permits may be wondering why they have not obtained the cards for which they sent in $3 each. This is the reason, as stated yesterday by I. C. Moller, assistant director of traffic: “It was announced at the begin- ning that every applicant for re- newal would have to write the num- ber of his old permit in the space provided for that purpose in a cor- ner of the application blank. Not- withstanding warffings many appli- cations came in every mail to the police traffic burean without the number of the old permit. At first, each of these were returned by mail to“the sender with instructions to correct it. But when they grew so numerous it became impracticable to write so many letters, so they were set aside. Since each has $3 attached to it, they eventually will be returned to the applicants, but in the meantime no new permits will be issued to them.” Expert Asked to Aid In Planning Gallinger - —_—--- Muni¢ipal Architect A. L. Harris yesterday sent an invitation to Dr. 5S. S. Goldwater, an official of Mt. Sinai hospital, New York City, to act as consultant in preparation of plans for the proposed addition to Gallinger hospital here. Sevefal days ago Mr. Harris in- spected the new city hospital at Reading, Pa.; which he declares to be the finest of its kind in the United States. Dr. Goldwater, a recognized expert on hospital lay- out, was consultant in that case. The addition to ,Gallinger hospital will consist of a new ward building containing 250 beds, plans to be @ompleted by January 1.

The government continues to an- nounce scattered instances of Cath- olic priests accepting the regula- tions. With the statement that five such new declarations have been made, the total as alleged by the government is brought to fourteen priests in various parts of the coun- try. In each case the bishops have excommunicated the priests, al- though the government declares that the churches have been re- turned to their charge by the mu- nicipal committees. These com- mittees were named to control the churches when the priests with- drew two weeks ago simultaneous- ly with the going into effect of the religious regulations. Although most business houses through the nation are feeling in various degrees the effects of the economic boycott, by ‘which Catho- lics are expressing opposition to the government’s religious regulations, United States Commercial Attache George Wythe, after a careful sur- vey of the situation, says the two most important industries of Mex- ico—oil and mining—thus far are not effected and are continuing on their usual scale. Virtually every .merchant in Mexico City at present is experienc- ing some decrease in trade. The silver exchange had a further drop vesterday, reaching a discount of 5.20 per cent. Bankers continue to assert that the boycott is not directly responsible for this. Reports indicate that Guadala- jara, one of the strongest Catholic cities in Mexico, is suffering more from the boycott than perhaps any other place in the republic. General business there is declared to have slumped anywhere from 50 to 90 per cent. Vera Vruz, Aug. 14 (By A, P.). Returning to the United States on leave, the Ambassador, James R.

S. PAPERS LEAD WAY (Special Cable Dispatch.) Mexico City, Aug. 14.—The Catholic Church in Mexico has virtually won its fight for free speech in opposition to President Calles’ decree of July 2, And as the Catholic victory on this point necomes#’ more assured, the country is getting calmer, dis- | pelling ths fears of revoiution against the government for its on- forcement of restrictive laws against the church. Rather strangely, the press of the United States has been largely te- sponsible for the church’s partial victory. . The American press has done what the Mexican press did ot or could not do. It has furnished a free field to all comers with the result that Mexicans have express- ed themselves abroad much movté fully and accurately than they could at home. It has forced u cer- tain amount of liberality on both sides in the neat of one of the bit- terest struggles in Mexican history. The metropolitan papers, which took pretty much to cover during the heat of the church struggle and fought shy of religious news, either from the government or episcopate, have again crawled out of retire- ment and begun publishing exten- sive reports of the struggle. This probably is due to the fact that the church seems to have won the battle for the right of public expression over the decree of July 2, which practically prohibited such expres- sion. : The refusal of the government to prosecute the bishops for their pas- toral letter, announcing the with- drawal of the priests from the churches, courage. greatly They also have been encouraged by the an- }) nouncement of the government yes- terday that it would not prosecute Archbishop Mora y del Rio, of Mex- ico City, for his statements to an American newspaper correspondent, which, the minister of the interior charged, violated the constitutional clause forbidding priests to criticize the government. Although the church is not pub- lishing any daily religious organ, it is continuing to broadcast circulars and dodgers by the millions, unmo- lested, in direct contravention to the decree of July 2.

OTHER ESCAPES CUT OFF Wamsutter, Wyo., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—The sand dunes of the desert in southwestern Wyoming late today were being searched by sheriffs and cowboys for two men who early today robbed a Union Pa- cific train of 23 pouches of regis- tered mail while the train was The value of the loot had not been de- termined tonight. Air-mail pilots, flying between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City, were asked by postal officials to scan the desert for the fugitives. The robbers instead of using the bronco of the frontier stage and train bandit, took to the modern automobile, the posses’ leader here believe. Apparently with well-laid plans, two men boarded the mail car at Rawlings, 41 miles east of here, and at the point of revolvers, bound and gagged the two postal clerks. Waiting at Mamsutter, a confeder-. ate of the robbers changed a rail- road signal so that the train slowed down. The robbers are then be- lieved to have jumped off and taken flight with their confederate. The clerks remained bound until the train reached Rock Springs,; when the robbery was discovered, be- cause of their failure to deliver the mail. Only one route of flight is open to the bandits through the desert into northwestern Colorado, as the . other roads lead back to the Wyo- ming cities, of Rawlins and - Rock Springs, ‘the posses claim. The desert, although it stretches over a region of many miles, is popu- lated with a handful of ranchers and sheepherders, and is practically without water holes, its only vege- tation being sagebrush.

The exception is today’s Packard Eight —The Boss of the Road. The Packard Six has long excelled in beauty, in comfort and in distinction. In simplicity and in economy. Greater than ever in all of these, it now also excels in performance. Those who drive the improved Packard Six will let others pass as a matter of courtesy, never of necessity. In car beauty contest or contest on the open road it will more than hold its own against any Six, or any Eight, excepting cars of racing type. Most useful and most appreciated of all, however, will be the car’s agility and ease ‘of control in crowded traffic.

By Achmed Abdullah a CHAPTER I. “The New Job.” OWNTOWN New York, hectic with life, business, ambition, : greed. A zigzag of glisten- ing windows. A stabbing of sky- scrapers against a vaulted, steel- Rray sky. A jazzy din of quick feet, -of voices talking money—money— money! _.Thus oufside, on the narrow, canyon-like streets. Thus, too, in- side, in offices, elevators. Life. Business. Ambition. Greed. Ruth Welles loved it all, though she was young enough not to think too much about the greed. She stepped into an express ele- vator. of the Equitable building: 47 stortes, steel-and-cogcrete, fire- proof, cost twelve milion. It was filled with cigar-chewing, behatted men and bobbed-haired girls whose skirts—for this was the twentieth century when not even businesg was demure—were too high at the knee and too low at the neck. She got out or, rather, pushed, jerked, elbowed her way out at the sixth floor, walked down a long cor- ridor, and stopped before a door marked with a sort of impressive simplicity: “PETER CARTON BARTON ATTORNEY AT LAW.” Ruth was about to open the door; reconsidered; took a small mirror She looked at the pretty, ash-blonde, violet-eyed reflection of herself; studied it as a knight in the olden days might have studied his steel helmet and armor before a lance tournament. She was no fool. She knew that looks counted in business, chiefly a first impression—and here she was out after a new job. “You'll do!’’ she said to herself; then, when she noticed that her face was whiter than usual: ‘‘Here! Brace up! What’s the matter with you? You're free, white and 21— I beg vour pardon, 24! You have an honest-to-goodness appointment with this legal lion! You are armed with bully recommenda- tions! You are clever and ambi- tious! Here is vour chance to make the grade!”’ So she opened the door and walked in, carrying herself like a flag. A young woman, very languid, very shingled, very blue-serge smart, regarded her from across a mahogany railing and asked: “What can I do for you?’’ ‘Mr. Barton; please.’”’ ‘‘Appointment?”’ {| gg ‘“‘Name?’’ ‘“RuthWelles.”’ “Oh, yves—.’ The other looked up with mild interest. ‘About the position?’ “Yes."’ And with that sudden smile of hers which won her many friends, ‘‘I hope I'll get it:”’ “So do I,”" came the good-na- tured reply. “Mr. Barton hasn't come in from lunch yet.” “All right—and thank you.’ Ruth was familiar with the out-|}. was | to-lunch line.

A woman was with him. ‘Slim she was, waxed-faced, crim- son-lipped, in frock and hat that screamed Paris. The man stopped to speak to the girl behind the desk; then ushered the woman into one of the inner rooms. “That was Mr. Barton,’ explain- ed the girl, looking at Ruth. ‘l told him you were waiting. He'll see you in a few minutes.”’ But the few minutes stretched into half an hour. Finally the woman who had.come with Barton tripped from the inner office ahd left. “The Countess de Lorraine,’’ said the girl at the desk, with something akin to pride. ‘She's visiting Mr. Barton’s sister — Mrs. . Meredith Dexter, you know.’ Ruth knew the name. Who didn’t, in New York? No society column was complete without it. “They say,’ the girl rambled on, “that the little countess wouldn’t mind being Mrs. Peter Barton. Can’t blame her—oh—”’ turning to the telephone switchboard, where a red light had flashed——‘‘excuse me!” ‘Yes, sir!’’ And then, to Ruth: Mr. Bar- ton will see you, Miss Well®s!’’ Ruth faced him a few moments later across a forbiddingly legal- looking, flat-top desk. Business man and business wom- turned to her office from which she had obtained the free time. She told the girls there, and they congratulated her. She was popu- lar—in a way. Nota ‘sport, was the general verdict, too much of a grind. But all right. Clever. Al- Ways ready to help. And -never catty. Her resignation in, the details attended to, she we home in the dropping, blue-and-silver dusk. “Home” was a trim little apart- ment in Commerce street, down in the heart of the Village—a part of the Village not yet raised to super- Riverside-Drive-prices by realty boosters—and shared by herself and two other girls: Edna Mathews, who worked in a downtown bank, and Edna’s younger sister, Hattie, who was private secretary for De- Lancey Hawkins, the great criminal lawyer. As Ruth entered they rushed up to her, bubbling over with impa- tient questions: “We've been waiting * * “Didn’t want to phone * * * got the job?’’ “You bet!, Gee—lI'm What do I smell?’’ “Something good!”’ proudly. “I cooked!”’ “I'll tell the world you can juggle a wicked chafing-dish!”’ ‘“‘What’s he like?’’ asked Hattie, pouring coffee. | ea hungry! replied Edna Ruth faced him a few minutes later across a forbiddingly au.

And — you know he’s hand-in-glove with all big bugs on Broadway—he got me a part in that new musical show, ‘Pigs in Clover’-—and it’s a riot— even if all the music is stolen, in- cluding the tuning of the bass viol!” “You are a chorus girl?’’ “Don’t look so shocked! I know myself “it’s quite a come-down from the dramatic school. But it’s the only way to start.” “I guess so. Sharing your apart- ment with somebody, Maisie?” The latter hesitated. The color mounted slowly under the powder and rouge. She was only 19; only a year removed from her small home town. So she still knew how to blush. She answered in a flat voice: “No. I am living—alone.” She slurred; stopped; added, rath- er violently: “Of course I am living alone! Why do you ask?” Ruth laid her hand on Maisie’s knee. “Please forgive me.” she begged. “But — you — you must be careful! You are—oh—infatuated with Ric- cardo Martinez. He—he’s no good!” “How do you know he isn’t?” “I feel it. And you—you are too hot-blooded !” “Maybe!” came Maisie’s angry re- ply. “That’s better than being too cold-blooded—as you are!” CHAPTER Il. **Bachelor Girls.*’ Ruth shrugged her shoulders. She distrusted Martinez’s account of himself; aristocratic old Spanish family—born in Madrid—in New York as a promoter, chiefly inter- Nested in financing new radio inven- tions. She had an idea that the “‘aris- tocratic old Spanish family’’ had its roots somewhere in a Russian or Polish ghetto; was no nearer Madrid than the East Side of New York City and that his promoting activities had a great deal to do with a deck of poker cards and a dice box. Only suspicions. No proof. And it would ba@ useless to argue with Maisie. She looked at her rather sadly as she thought of the change that had come over the girl these last six months, since she had met Ric- cardo Martinez and had begun to go about with him and his friends. She seemed to have lost her spon- taneous gaiety; seemed so much roa, more old and worldly-wise—or was it worldly-unwise? And thig new position of hers; a chorus ‘girl— _ after all her splendid ambition to | become the American Duse. She broke her thoughts off in, 'mid-air as she saw tears in Maisie’s | en: eyes. ae didn’ t mean to hurt your feel- pa she said. ‘‘Let’s make up! “That’ 8 why I came here—to mak® up’”’ Again they 'turned to go. “Night rehearsals!’’ she explain- ed and was off, humming the song | ‘from ‘Pigs in Clover’”’ destined to be’the hit of the year: :.

But you see—I couldn't stay home!”’ “I don’t know why you didn’t!”’ he grumbled. “You didn’t,, Harry!” “Know why?’"’ “You were ambitious.’ ; “Not a bit of it, Ruth. But I couldn’t stand the old burgh after you'd left. I made enough there to have supported both you and me. Living back home isn’t s0 complicated as here, nor 80 expen- sive. We could have had a nice little house, and 4 car, and joined the Country Club, and kept a maid —and—and your father and mother like me—and * sie “I know they do,” she aaa ed, with gentle impatience; for this was all old, much-trodden ground to her. ‘‘And so dol. But—lI had to come. I suppose it was the spirit of my pioneering American ances- tors boiling in my blood. Home was too small for me and too—too known! I wanted to get out—and go farther. Ever since I’ve been a little girl I’ve been ambitious.” “Don’t. I know it?’’ he said gloomily. “I just -can’t get it through my bean why you aren’t ambitious the way other women are—for a home—and husband— and maybe kiddtes!”’ ‘Harry!’ she laughed. ‘‘You’re as mid-Victorian as my Aunt Pris- cilla! The world—and_ chiefly woman—has traveled some since we shed crinolines and fainting spells! Expect me to make a curt- sy when you propose to me—and lisp ‘Oh yeth!’ whether I love you or not—and swoon on your manly chest?’’ Harry was growing angry under her light mockery. “Well,”’ he replied, “I’m not so sure but the girl you just described wouldn’t make a damn sight better wife than your type of modern, bobbed-haired bachelor girl!’’ Ruth raised very pretty eyebrows. “Flappér vs. Homegirl?’’ she asked. “Not at all. No flapper about it. I mean you hard-boiled, know-it-all business women.”’ “I’m sorry you disapprove me,”’ she rejoined stiffly. “Oh, I didn’t mean that’ I don’t disapprove of you! I’m crazy about you—Jjust plain crazy-nuts! I-——— he stammered—‘I love you! love you so much it hurts!”’ Her face softened. “I know. And—lI’m sorry. of But | | \I can take care of myself!’’ snapped Ruth. “ “I wish I had your -chance,”’ sighed Edna. “Show mé a mar- riage ring and a good-looking young fellow, and I'll get out of the busi- ness grind so quick you couldn’t see any smoke!”’ The girls laughed; and presently Edna yawned her way to bed, while Ruth and Hattie, comfortable in kimonos and slippers, turned t¢ their law books. For both were studying for the bar examination. “Tell me,” Hattie said suddenly. ‘“‘Have you ever been in love?” “Violently.

But, somehow in her dreams Pe- ter Barton, the great New York ~i— lawyer, and Sarsfield O’Kelly, the Irish policeman of her childish adoration, seemed to melt into one figure.

And Edna rose and pushed the button. ““Maisie!”” she announced, with | a look of wonder in her innocent, china-blue eyes. Maisie it was who came in—tall. Supple, red-haired, and with a su- perb, rather arrogant beauty that even her flagrant make-up could not entirely disguise. She shook hands hurriedly with the sisters, and went straight up to Ruth: “I just had to see you!” “Come on!” Hattie said sister, laughingly. “IT see drama in Maisie’s mascara’d eyes! I am curious-—— but tactful! Let's Sluice down the dishes!”’ The sisters left; and Maisie re- peated: “I just had to see you, Ruth!” She lit a cigarette; looked about the brown and blue room. Gee!

WRECKAGE STREWS SEA Halifax, N. S., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—Forty-seven fishermen were missing tonight, a week after a storm which is now believed to have struck the Nova Scotia, fish- ing industry the most disastrous blow in ldss of lives and ships in recent history. While government searchers to- day abandoned hope for the 25 members of the crew of the Lun- nenberg schooner Sylvia Mosher,j grave fears were expressed for the first time for the Lahave schooner Sadie Knickle and her crew of 22. The Sadie Knickle, long overdue, was last seen near the Sylvia Mos- her off Sable island before the storm. It was feared that both crews had perished in the hurri- cane that tore the Sylvia Mosher from her anchorage and drove her ashore on the island, a total wreck, Henry Miller Service. HUGO L.

New York, Aug. 14.—An ironic turn of fortune came today into the career of Mrs. May Annabell Leonore Van Alen Ottmann Fuller Landgren, in former times feted’ by society leaders from San Franciscd to New York. She was arrested in Piermont, N. Y., on a charge of larceny. She is charged with having of- fered a check for $866 on the Bank of Italy, San Francisco, to Pierre Martin in part payment of a $1,400 bill she had run up at the Villa Pierre. Louis Cohen, leader, charged that Mrs. Land- gren gave him a worthless check for $150. Daughter of the aristocratic Van Alen family of Kentucky, Mrs. Landgren: was known from coast to coast as “The Juno of Louis- ville.” She was frequently enter- tained at the court of King Edward and was a favorite guest. of the king of Spain.

GETTING WEATHER DATA 16.000 FEET UP THRILLING JOURNEY Temperature Chills Quickly as Capital Recedes More and More. WASHINGTON LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY-QUILT Drop of Plane Not So Pleas- -ant; Throbbing Brow Gives Visions of Apoplexy. By CARLISLE BARGERON Relief from the hot weather, freezing temperatures within 30 minutes ride of Washington daily at 6 a. m., with less severe tempera- tures en route, ranging from cool- ing breezes to icicles on the fur- rowed brow, is an offering of the naval fliers of Anacostia field. They are reasonably certain of get- ting you these and they absolutely fuarantee to get you back. Beyond that they can not conscientiously go. As a pleasurable eye opener, the trip is open to question. The “resort” is some 3 miles straight up, or 15,000 feet to be exact. The naval fliers are not trying to develop the region and neither are they out to serve as bus transpor-- tation for any enterprising unreal estate man who might get a corner on this ethereal domain. They are in the prosaic, dangerous business, of going up there to get metero- logical messages which nature places on the high shelf. Take Up Sensitive Box. They scoop them up in a little sensitive box which the bureau of standards has devised and then come down and release them to the wide world. Nature has a way of telling the absolite truth about its plans to those who ascend to her. As a matter of fact it would have diffi- culty in concealing them from the navy men, for they go up and feel the meteorological pulse there. They get the real “low down’’—and earaches, headaches, frozen faces, irregular blood ~oppressures and shortened lives as the result. It’s rather a hazardous business all round. In fair weather the pilot and the station’s chief aerolo- gist, P. J. Brown, set sail every morning about the time the scrub- women aré@ preparing to turn the trade chambers over to the day- light occupants. Sometimes Lieut. E. W. Litch, acting now for Mr. Brown, takes the observer’s seat. Lieut. Litch is by naval training a pilot, but in emergencies he. fits the bill as an aerologist. Frequent- ly T. E. Adams, instructor in the aerologist school, handles the weather instruments. Aviation Pilot F. H. Bushing takes the plane up most of the time, but he has partners to relieve him. Reporter Sits In. On rare occasions, so rare, in fact, that it will quite likely never occur again, this reporter sits in for the observer. After one trip, to make it plain, he is inclined to be- lieve that Messrs. Brown, Litch and Adams need no assistance in the front seat. They have quit sending the planes up through fogs, as life is short and congressional appropria- tions smail; but even without this treacherous bank the visibility is frequently so that mother earth fades completely out of the pic- ture. In these circumstances planes have come down 30, 40 and 50 miles away. That is, they came down within 200 or 300 feet of the ground at these distances from their base; then they nosed upward again after getting their bearings and came back to the field. The trips have been surprisingly free from casualties since the daily flights were regularly established several months ago. Such ailments as frozen faces and the strain, how- ever, are not classed as casualties. Nobody contends that the flights are body builders, though. On the contrary, they tear down ~—the rapid ascension to high, rare alfitudes and the subsequent re- turn. In the first place, men with high blood pressure are disquali- fied at the outset, and this re- porter’s head felt as if it had burst a blood vessel at the high altitude, or rather just as the plane started its downward flight. Signed His Life Away. _ The reporter accompanied Pilot Bushing on the flight and the only preparations were the donning of the leather suit, helmet, goggles, the parachute—and the signing of your life away. This latter phase is also wrapped up with the mat- ter of diminishing appropriations. The navy has enough of a financial burden to take care of its own kith and kin. It cannot afford to support the survivors of substitute, reportorial weather men. So you sign this paper, an omin- ous looking thing, which says whom the navy. shall notify in case of. ‘‘accident’”’ and in the case of said accident, well the navy has abso- lutely nothing to do with it. And about the parachute. It is a device for use in case you have to get out and crank the car. you have to do is to step out, main- tain your poise and count three . slowly, then pull a string. But the reporter and his ’shute were so wedged in the front seat, ’ under the upper wing, that he spent most of his flight gathering sur- prisingly little meteorological data, but wondering how in the dickens he could extricate himself should {t come to a point of abandoning} the plane. Grows Cold Quickly. We lost no time in leaving the field and in a jiffy were about 1,000 feet above the sun-touched waters of the Potomac, abreast the Wash- ington monument. At 2,000 feet the drop in. temperature was, ap- preciable even through the heavy toggery. The temperature {is said to drop 1 degree every 200 feet; so you can figure for yourself just hat it was at 8,000 feet, where be stopped for ‘gasoline, or, rather, All 2 atl THE WA “y ‘s a“ y a i 4 = Be ee ee) ye Oa . = BRS a ae — — | | PREPARATIONS MADE FOR HIGH WEATHER FLIGHT. straightened out the plane to let the weather instruments settle. This is done every 1,000 feet, and at every shift of the delicate needle points in the small box which is at- tached to the wing of the plane a recording is made. The needles, three of them, scribble a meteoro- logical message across a prepared chart, and when the plane comes down the weather man analyzes the readings together with his observa- tions. At this level of 8,000 feet it was briskly but pleasantly cool, a feel- ing that you experience when you open the door, but do not tarry within, of a huge refrigerator box which the butchers use. City Like a Crazy Quilt. The city below is a crazy quilt— patches of red-roofed houses that blend softly with the winding Vir- ginia roads; the grass and foliage expanses of Washington which at this height make one huge green spread; an anemic-looking, tortuous thread nervously coursing the cen- ter of it all, which must be the Potomac and its back streams—the silvered majesty of the Capitol dome, the burnished surface of the Congressional Library; they are seemingly master designs in the piece. That glistening mirror splotch is either the mischief of a boy and a glass or the reflecting pool before the Lincoln memorial. The city’s skyline, in reality, coursing a ragged up and down line, now is an easily laid canvas piece, undulating now and then, but mostly stretched to a level. Trafic Director Eldridge’s chalk markings, as well as his traffic regulations and pedestrian control have long since been discarded as we wander on up the remaining flungs of the ladder to get to that ing now that it has not been moved. He had a thought, in fact, that about the most brutal treatment that Nature could give, would be to grab that shelf and keep running higher and higher with it—shout- ing over her shoulder, “Catch me, catch me,’’ as she ran. For the reporter somehow got the convic- tion that Pilot Bushing would keep on going until he did that very thing. Colder as Earth Falls. The temperature seems to drop more appreciably now as the earth fades father away. It begins to get uncomfortable, and we are fairly well wrapped. The barometric pres- sure tightens. Not chilly, but cold breezes rip at the unexposed. por- tion of the face. The altitude is 13,500 feet. There is no mosaic spread below now, but mostly a monotous mass. The Potomac seems a tiny stream that has been spilt from a bottle of ink. But there is that beacon, the sheer shaft of. the Washington monument. It is a plain little stick, but standing upright in its dis- tinctiveness. . Although the altimeter is still advancing around the dial and the weather needles are presumably writing frenzied meteorological notes, the plane seems to be stand- ing still, its nose poked upward. It is apparently lying there, tilted on a latticework of longitudinal and latitudinal lines. It’s like a spider laboring to climb the last few inches of its web. In reality it’s traveling at the rate of 68 miles an hour. How Clouds Below Look. There is a parade of light gray clouds below, herds of closelyform- ed polar bears, phantom-like and in tandem. They completely shut off the view of the earth, drawing their hazy covering over it, The regular observer would make expert note of this. He would jot down on his pad that they were moving care- lessly to the northeast. They are light and shifty like a dry sponge, but, ag the observer would note, they are sopping up moisture as they move along. Then over some community which he would be able to dope out, they will squeeze them- selves and there will be rain until they get light and gray again. To the reporter, however, their shutting off of the view of terra firma gave a helpless feeling, one of weariness. In this state, there seemed to be no reason why .we should not go on upward—we seemed about as near to one planet as the other. ° in going up. All of his distance had been spent in climbing. Had we come straight down then and there we would not have been more than 2 miles from the field. Effect on the Ears. There was no inrush of air, buried as we were way down in the cockpit. But jf you threw your head back it\would take your breath away. It was cold, but there had been no ph@sical save the heavy, throbbing feeling experienced in flights of consider- ably-less aftitudes. It’s the dron- ing of the engine as much as any- thing else. ‘It has been..a -pleasant climb, giving the ‘effect of ‘a’ ‘ride in a 6 high shelf—and the reporter is hop- | Pilot Bushing had lost no time | ill effects in the ears which the reporter has | Upper—Preparing to take off for cooler temperatures.

Lord Says. Faced with necessity of trim- ming approximately $3,500,000 from the 1928 District budgetary estimates, the District commission- ers will open a series of daily executive meetings Wednesday morning to decide which depart- ments shall bear the brunt of finan- cial curtailment. The estimates were returned to the commissioners yesterday by the bureau of the budget with in- structions to cut their total to $38,- 573,839. As submitted to the bu- reau the total was $42,025,000. Following the precedent of last year, Gen. H. M. Lord, director of the bureau, invited the commis- sioners to submit a supplemental statement of needs in excess of the amount specified, indicating that if needs were great and pleas were eloquent the prescribed limit might be stretched somewhat. District -Allotment Limited. Gen. Lord’s letter to the commis- sioners read as follows: “IT have the honor to advise you that. the President has allocated to the District of Columbia $38,573,- 829 as a tentative maximum amount of the total of your esti- mates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928. “This amount includes all items which are appropriated for in the District of Columbia appropriaticu act and $2,543,000 for permanen* and indefinite appropriations. “Your regular estimates for tie fiscal year 1928, to be submitted on or before September 1, 1926, and prepared in eccordance with the instructions of July 14,° 1226, should not, therefore, exceed in their total the amount above stated. Additional Amount Possible, “If your estimates thus prepared do not, in your opinion, meet tire absolutely necessary requirements of the District of Columbia, they will be accompanied by a supplc- mental statement showing the addi- tional amount which you neiiscve will be required, allocated to ap- propriate titles and seting forth the necessity therefor. “In stating the necessity for suth increase it is requested that you in- dicate the consequences which «would result from failure to secure the additicnal amount that you recommend.”’ horse-drawn, rubber-tired buggy up a steep grade. Now the crest was reached and the ship apparently rested swayingly on it, like a see- saw, while Pilot Bushing reached over and tapped the reporter on the shoulder. “Tt's’ 15,000 feet,” he “Guess we may as Well go down.’”’ But as he hesitated, with the plane swerving back and forth on the brink of something, the reporter wondered if he was supposed to get out and take possession of the region in the name of Commis- sioner Dougherty and the advisory council. Bushing yelled again: “It’s down now,” and down it>was. The plane tilted forward from its uncertain perch and headed directly for the place whence it had come, Pain Strikes the Forehead. It was then that the sudden shifting of altitudes told physical- ly on the nevitiate. A terrible pain struck him across the fore- head, just above the left eye. All of the blood was either rushing in or out of the head. He visualized blood clots, apoplexy and other medical things as the concussion felt as if it was pressing his head into a pulp. It took slightly less than minutes to make the climb; it was like a fireman sliding a greasy pole coming down, the glide con- suming about 15 minutes at the most. : Down through those gray clouds and the earth came back into view; down through temperatures that grew warmer and warmer—sud- denly back to where perspiration beads held high carnival on the brow. The city and the Virginia countryside soon took shape from the blur, and then topographical and physical features became dis- tinctive again. At 3,000 feet we stopped in or- der that the pilot might make a few sidewise loops and the earth and sky passed in kaleidscopic re- view... “Oh, this high altitude business every day doesn’t do you any good,’”’ Bushing remarked wearily as we got out of the plane. They are expecting a real climb- ing plane at the field soon when they plan to stretch the weather flights to 20,000 feet, and in the meantime'they are conducting an aerological school. Six enlisted men are being trained along the scientific lines. The first-hand information which they get in the air has done won- ders to the science of weather prognosticating. It should be- cause, goodness knows, it is placed on a high enough shelf. Smithsonian Receives Six Bat-Like Lemurs 30 ------= The stuffed bodies of six flying lemurs from the East Indies have been placed on exhibition at the Smithsonian institution. At first glance the animals might be mis- taken for large bats. They climb trees, hang from the branches and glide swiftly from limb to limb: like flying squirrels.

OIL COUNSEL TO MOVE DROPPING OF APPEAL PLEAS (CONTINUCED FROM PAGE 1.) special cases and thereby signal out particular persons and deny them the measure of impartial jus- tice guaranteed to other citizens is incompatible with American jus- tice; according to the counsel op- posing the motion. Chief Justice George W. Martin and Associate Justices Charles H. Robb and Josiah V. Van Orsdel, comprising the District Court of Appeals, will have the task of de- ciding for or against the Pomerene- Roberts motion. The court is not in session and does not meet until October. But the motion and the briefs will be sent to the three judges. No Review in Criminal Cases. Messrs. Pomerene and Roberts, as well as Senator Walsh, take the position that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia should not have the power to review inter- iocutory orders in criminal cases and they add that in other parts of the country generally, not such power exists in courts of appeal. The cases should be tried first and then appeals as to the validity of legal steps may be taken, they have contended. When it was seen’that the law in the District of Columbia permit- ted review of interlocutory ordcrs and that the Court of Appeals here decided to grant the special appeals in the oil lease cases, Senator Walsh took steps to defeat this part of the court’s decision. He drafted a resolution changing the law of the District of Columbia and engineered it through the Senate and House. In pressing continuously for the passage of his bill, Senator Walsh told Speaker Longworth, Represen- tative Graham, of the House judi- ciary committee, and others that it was of vital importance. By get- ting the bill enacted into law while the justices of the Court of Appeals were still deliberating on the spe- cial appeal. the action by Congress, it was pointed out, might serve to frustrate any decision by the court against the government’s special counsel. Want Justice Expedited. The government’s special counsel maintain that the law permitting the Court of Appeals to review in- terlocutory.orders in criminal cases should ‘have been repealed long ago. The District code, in this respect, they say should long ago have been made to conform to the code in districts where the court has no such power. Justice is expedited, they’ argue, by having the cases tried before decisions are rendered on: interlocutory orders which can just as well be disposed of after trial. On the other hand, counsel op- posing the government’s motion, maintain that the law in the Dis- trict relative to these interlocutory orders was on the statute books for 33 years and saved great expense to the government and the time of the courts. In other words, it has been contended that the District code should have served as an ex- ample for other districts. ¢ The Newberry case is cited as an example proving the value of the law as it existed in the District of Columbia. Truman H. Newberry and 124 other defendants were in-| dicted in Michigan in connection with. the primary election of New~- “ berry. A demurrer to the indict- ment was overruled after an hour’s argument and there was no Other means of testing the validity of the indictments prior to the trial. Accordingly the trial took place and Mr. Newberry and fourteen de- fendants were convicted. Months of time, hundreds of witnesses, thou- sands of pages of testimony com- bined to make this one of the most expensive trials in the history of the country, it is pointed out. Then the Supreme Court of the United States knocked out the whole procedure and held that the indictments were not legally valid. They were pursuant to an act of Congress regulating primary elec- tions and the highest court held that Congress had no power over primaries, which were purely State affairs. Thus the Supreme Court, accord- ing to counsel opposing the govern- ment’s motoin here, decided a point which could have been decided after the first hour’s argument on the demurrers and the illegality of the indictments could have been established before the government und hundreds of citizens were put to great inconvenience and great expense. Has Future Effect. But the Walsh bill, now enacted into law, will admittedly have a hearing on future action by the court of appeals with respect to interlocutory orders which come up in the future. But the ques- tion which the court must decide with respect to the government’s motion is whether the Walsh bill can be made retroactive and made applicable to a special case which came before the court before the bill was drafted. How long this legal battle will last over the power of Congress to make retroactive laws of this character is problematical. It means deciding a legal question in which the prerogatives of Con- gress and the prerogatives of the court are admittedly at issue, but the final decision must come from the courts, despite the fact that the courts themselves have an in- terest in the controversy and must uphold or surrender what the ju- dicial branch of the government Gazelle Hounds Gain In London Popularity yy London, Aug. -: (By A.

NEARSIDE CAR STOPS ASKED BY LAW FIRM System at Fourteenth and U Streets Called Inconvenient and Dangerous. Charges that desires of citizens had been ignored and that operat- ing convenience’ of the Capital Traction Co. had controlled in tranfer arrangements at Four- teenth and U streets northwest, the law firm of Colladay, Clifford & Pettus yesterday asked the pub- lic utilities commission to simplify the situation at that corner and restore nearside car stops. The request was made in a let- ter in which it was stated that the commission in 1924 had denied the petition of the Midcity Citi- zens association for nearside stops and had ignored a subsequent ap- peal by neighboring property own- ers for reconsideration of the case. The letter said: “The present system of stops is inconvenient for those required to transfer at this busy corner and subjects them to danger of per- sonal injury and frequently causes embarrassment because of its lack of uniformity.’’ Brother and Sister Drown. Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—Thelma Goolsby, 13, and her brother, Clarence Goolsby, 19, were drowned in the surf at Pompano Beach last night when an undertow carried them off shore. The victims were the children of Mr. and Mrs. Ishan Goolsby, who arrived at Pompano Beach from Algood, Tenn., several months ago. Little Cut in Army Budget Is Expected The army general staff's budget committee and budget officers of the navy are engaged in reducing their estimates for the next fiscal year, and it is now reported that there is reason to believe that the amounts allowed for the army and navy, as approved by President Coolidge, are substantially what the appropriations for the present fis- cal year authorize. A comparatively small sum has been alloted for beginning of the execution of the aviation five-year programs and a deficiency appro- priation will be requested for carrying out certain provisions of the air acts. The war department also is expected to fix a limit on losses in airplane maneuvers. McKinley, Recovering, May Testify on Funds Senator William B. McKinley, of Illinois, who has been ill at his residence here for several weeks, is gradually recovering. In view of his improvement, it is regarded now as prob&ble that he will be able to testify before the Senate committee on campaign ex- penditures when that committee reconvenes. Senator Reed, chair- man of the committee, has recent- ly given notice that the committee will meet again in Chicago late in September.

S. Should Have Its Own Trees. Possibilty that the world rubber supply may be cut off suddenly by pests is the strongest reason why the United States should develop its own rubber supply, according to Dr. H. S. Kellerman, associate chief of the bureau of plant indus- try of the Department of Agricul- ture. In discussing the need for de- veloping rubber-growing areas, Dr. Kellerman pointed out the present world supply is largely produced on plantations in the East Indies, and that it might be wiped out in a few years by a single pest, such as a new and destructive bettle or a new fungus. With the industry con- centrated, as it is now, Dr. Keller- man regards the danger of ravages from pests as serious. Certain diseases already exist which are a cause for concern. Rub- ber trees in the East Indies suffer from a bark disease and a leaf dis- ease, both of them considered dan- gerous. Thus far, they have been kept under control, but how long this will. be the case cannot be fore- told. $300,000 Church Burned. Three Rivers, Que., Aug. 14 (By A.

By that time, both old and new conduits and filtra- tion, power and pumping plants all will be in operation. The larger new conduit from Great Falls to Daiecarlia reservoir has been, in operation several months and is bringing water from Great Falls, while the old conduit is being reconditioned as a reserve channel, after having served the city for 50 years. Until the new filtration plant at the west end of the District is com- pleted. it still will be necessary to run all water through Lydecker tunnel from Georgetown to McMil- lan park to purify it at the old fil- tration plant, but the new conduit, in spite of this, is giving the city a larger water supply. On comple- tion of the new filtration plant, at Dalecarlia on Conduit road it will be posible to supply the entire city with filtered water while the tun- nel is being repaired. With the tunnel reconditioned. both conduits and both flitration plants will be used. raising the sup- ply from the 70,000,000 gallon daily amount of the old conduit to a than 180,000,000 gallons a ay In connection with the shortage feared recently, it was reported, the consumption on July 23 was 83.- 098,000 gallons, or almost 4,000,- 000 more than the peak in July, 1925, and it is estimated that by 1980. 150,000,000 gallons will be used daily. So it will be that the completed system will serve a city of 1,000,000 without fear of a }-Shortage for many years to come. The cost of the system will be about $8,827,600 including an ap- propriation of $127,600 to be asked of Congress next session for com- pleting the work. 2 DIE, 11 PROSTRATED HERE IN HEAT WAVE (CONTINUED successor, Dr. Robert R.

He reports that last May two members of the staff of the Carne- gie institution, with headquarters at Chichen Itza, in northern Yuca- tan, beating their way through 40 miles of tropical jungle lying to the southeast of the modern city of Valladolid, came upon a raised ,8tone terrace, séveral acres in ex- Yent, marking the site of the an- cient Maya city of Coba.

MELLETT EVIDENCE IS GOING TO GRAND JURY (CONTINUED FROM tration, Francis was married to Alphonso Austin Smith in London, October 15, 1912. News of the wedding was con- veyed to her father in Washington in a cablegram, to which he re- sponded with his best wishes. Al- though the wedding was somewhat of a surprise at the time it took Place, it was the culmination of a romance which began between the two while attending school in Lon- don, while Mr. Wynne was consul general there. Mrs. Wynne and her older daughter, the former Ida Wynne. and then Mrs. Hugh Ronald French, of London, were present at the wedding of the younger daugh- 4 ter. Miss Ruth Wynne had made her debut in Washington in 1910, upon the return here of her family from London after her father gave up his post as consul general, which, incidentally,’ was at that time the’ highest paid in the United States government, with the exception of the Presidency. The large emolu- ment was derived from the fee sys- tem then in effect. Mrs. Wynne and her daughter had been jin England for several months before the wedding, Smith having resumed his court of the young American debutante imme- diately upon her return to England with her mother. He was wealthy, having inherited a large fortune, and was fond of horses, owning a string of thorough- breds, and was active in the so- cial life of the English capital. It was while he was a student at Beau- mont college, V¥indsor, England, that he first met the American girl he married. Both Charles J. and John S. Wynne, sons of the Ameri-. can consul general, were students at Peaumont college, and the three became close friends, the brothers introducing Smith to other members of their family. Rumors of discord in ital relations of Mr. and Mrs. Smith found their way back to Washington for some. time before Mrs. Smith returned to America, to make her home in New York, where she sued and got a divorce from her husband. The marriage of her elder ‘later. Ruth, to Capt. Hugh Ron@ld French, of the Dragoon guards, in London, also failed once, and Mrs. French won a divorce from Capt. French in the London courts. Both girls were widely known in Wash- ington, the elder becoming known as one of the members of the ultra- amert vonunger set before the family went abroad on the appointment of Mr. Wynne as consul general Loudou. Though the marriage of .Ida failed, as did that of Ruth, there the comparison ended. When Capt. French went to France in the world war he was wounded, and while in a hospital he was nursed back to health by the wife who had di- vorced him, and once more the doors of romance opened and they later were remarried. There has been, however, little probability of & reconciliation between the younger sister and her former hus- band, now under arregt for murder.

District Attorney Buckner, mov- ing this dismissal, explained that a later indictment had been obtained against Miller, former Attorney General Harry A. Daugherty and the late John T. King, once Re- publican national committeeman for Connecticut. The later indictment, returned last May 7, was like the one dis- missed today, based on the alleged conspiracy of the three men named to transfer. the German-owned stgck to pretended Swiss owners.

This evidence, which Roach says appears to him to be satisfactorily corroborated to bring about indict- ments. Roach further says the evidence is sufficiently corroborated, he be- lieves, to bring about convictions of first degree murder has not been presented to a grand jury because of a “‘too intimate’’ contact between vice circles and political and offi- cial cliques.

D., rather}, than at the close of the fifth century as native accounts have it. l’ressure a i and Addie V. ‘. Herbert George T. Hirt. 27, of New York, dred A. Sweeney, ¢ The Rev. L. P.

Each week's more clearly reports bring out the fact that business, ag a whole, is passing through the summer in an unusually strong position. The situation ir quite without precedent in some im- portant resnects, says Dun’s weekiy review. In no other year at this time have some of the major in- dustries shown the same degree of activity and vitality that appcars now, and general trade should gain further in vigor with the approach of the Fall season. Such unsatisfactory phases as ex- ist are overshadowed by the favor- able aspects, and confidence, which had lessened in some quarters ear- lier in the year, is now increasing. The prospect of larger harvests of such essential crops as wheat and cotton, if depressing prices for those staples, is a promising augury, and there are other elements that give rise to expectations of continued commercial activity. Heavy railroad freight traffic and the increase in the unfilled contracts of the principal stel producer, afford proof of a growth in operations. Complaints of dull business come from some channels and some prices remain relatively slow, but in the main, conditions are distinctly en- couraging, and in.most instances the results of 1925 are being surpassed.

These monuments of stone, as Dr. Morley has shown in his etu- dies of the Maya, ruins, comprise one of the important Maya methods of recording the passage of time. This system, called the ‘Long Count,” consists of hieroglyphics, or signs, carved on these monuments to indicete the number of days which have clapsed since the begin- ning of the Maya chronology. A cer- tain sign, for example, represents a single day, another sign represents a Maya month of 20 days, while still another indicates a year of 360 days. Then there are signs for 20- year periods and for periods of four centuries. The system is amazing- ly accurate within a period of 374,- 000 years and is a remarkable achievement for any people, wheth- er ancient or modern. These monu- ments, thén, are in reality, great almanacs in stone. The clue which enabled Dr. Mor- ley and other archeologists to read the hieroglyphic writing of the Maya was found in Madrid, Spain, in 18638. It consisted of a manu- acript history of Yucatan, written in 1666 by Padre Landa, a Francis- can missionary, who passed many yéars among the natives of Yucatan. Landa described the mannérs and | customs of the Maya in some detail. But in his description of the native calendar he placed the modern archeologist under deep obliga- tions for, through suggestions which: he gave, the hieroglyphic puzzle, upon which many persons have been at work since the Landa manuscript was found, is’ slowly being un- raveled. System of Good Roads. Although these sculpturcd monu- ments of a past age and a forgotten péople are perhaps the most fasci- pPating thing yet disclosed at Coba, _ they are not, by any means, the @nly matter of interest. A network of raised, roads seems to have centered at the city, show- ing that the ancient Maya had their tem of “‘good roads” just as did the Romans, the Incas of Peru, and We oursélves. These poads are called “‘sacbeob”’ in the Maya language, meaning “white roads’ (sac, white; beob, Yoads). They vary in width from 30 to 60 feet, and are usually built _ up-rabou bove-the ground . 1926, Robe rt. LL. Louisa Hnghes, } Ernest Wilson, 382 | William Washington, ; Celestine V. Banks, 3 yrs..

While nothing is known origin of Maya civilization, the highest jaboriginal civilization of the New World, yet it is now clear «hat these people’ emerged from barbarism in the first ten centuries before Christ. During the first six centuries after Christ they devel- oped an immense population and built a host of great cities extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Bay of Honduras. Then, for some un- known reason, these cities were abandoned and millions of people moved westward to adjacent pla- teau areas and northward and east- ward into Yucatan. During the golden age of the Maya, hundreds of great stone monoliths were built throughout the land to mark the passage of time and record impor- tant events as they occurred. ’* It is upon these tables of stone’ that the archeologists are chiefly re- lying in their endeavor to answer the perplexing questions about the origin of this great race, why the people abandoned all of their homes and public buildings, as they ap- parently did about 600 A. D., and what caused their general decline. The finding of each new monument, William O. Gallery to U. 8. _ Farra- therefore, is the cause of great re- George B. Fowler to, i. as 6.

ert: ° men EEE a —s— >: ae or LARGER WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS WEAKEN: PRICES DURING WEEK Increased Production, Indi- cated by August 1 Estimate, Influences Market. CORN AND OATS TEND TO STRENGTHEN PRICES Rye Rules Weak, While Cash Demand for Barley Is More Active. Prospects of a wheat crop in the United States about 172,000,000 bushels larger than last year, as indicated by the August 1 estimate of the United States Department of Agriculture, had a weakening influ- ence upon the wheat market during the week ended August 14, accord- ing to the weekly grain market re- view of the department. Forecasts of smaller crops of corn and oats tended to strengthen the market for these grains, but relatively large stocks, together with lower prices for wheat, caused a slight decline in prices for the week. The August 1 estimate places the winter wheat crop at 626,482,000 bushels, an increase.of about 58.,- 000,000 bushels over the July 1 estimate. A high average yield of more than 17 Np tevcqpren per acre on an acreage 18.7 per cent larger than in 1925 was ‘Peqponaible for the larger crop this year. This yield has not been equaled since 1914. The quality of the winter wheat is also higher than for many years | and it is reported that 94.5 per cent will be of a high medium grade. The principal increase was in hard winter wheat, but the soft winter wheat crop in the principal producing States is expected to be about 36,000,000 bushels larger than last year. Spring Wheat Crop Short An indicated August 1, condition of 60.2 per cent of normal indi- cates a spring wheat crop of nearly ~13,000,000 bushels. This is an increase of 13,000,000 bushels over the July 1 estimate, but is still short about 58,000,000 bushels of last year’s crop. Of the spring wheat total a durum crop of about 48,500,090 bushels is indicated for Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. In spite of a 15 per cent increase in durum acre- age, this*production lacks nearly 20,000,000 bushels of equaling the 1925 durum crop in these States. The Canadian wheat crop, ac- cording to official estimates August 1, Will total about 317,000,000 bushels. This is a decrease from the July 1 estimate of about 32,- 000,000 bushels and is about 94,- 000,000 bushels less than the es- timated crop last year. Estimates and forecasts of wheat production to date indicate that the world wheat supply out- side of Russia and China for the year may be fairly closely bal- anced with that of last year. The demand for the new wheat crop, however, may be stronger than last year because of the low stocks of old wheat, reduced European sup- Plies of rye and potatoes and short wheat crops in the Orient. Reports from 20 countries which last year produced 77 per cent of the total wheat crop of the northern hemi- sphere indicate a production of 2.- 328,000,000 bushels as compared with 2,.390,000,000 bushels last year. This increase in production barely offsets the reduction in re- ported stocks of old wheat July 1. The United States, however, is in a different position from last year in respect to the world’s crop and will be on an export basis for winter wheat, at least. Future Prices Decline. While prices in United States markets are sharply lower than last year, the world wheat price as re- flected in the Liverpool market is at practically the same level as last year. Future prices at Chicago declined about 3c for the week ended Aug. 13. Cash premiums, however, held fairly steady, 12 per cent protein No. 2 hard winter wheat being quoted at Kansas City at 3c over the September price; 12% per cent at 4%c over and 13 per cent at 5c over. Increased receipts of new spring wheat lowered premiums on cash wheat sharply at Minneapolis, 12 per cent No. 1 dark northern being quoted at the close of the week at 6-10c over the September price 12% per cent at 7-lle over and 13 per cent at 9-1l3c over. Prices in the Pacific Northwest also declined slightly, soft and western white wheats being quoted at Portland at $1.36 @1.37. The export demand in the Pacific Northwest continued active and a few cargoes and sevy- eral parcels were sold to the Orient during the week. Export demand at the Atlantic seaboard and at Gulf ports, however, was not as active as expected at the decline. Corn Crop Deteriorates. The corn crop showed further deterioration during July and the - condition of 72.5 per cent of nor- mal August 1 indicated a crop of 2,576,936,000 bushels, or a crop about 12 per cent smaller than last year, The influence of the smaller crop, however, was largely offset in the markets by the large stocks still on farms and in trading chan- nels and the probability of a fairly large carry over this year. Prices declined slightly but current of- ferings were well absorbed at the principal markets. | An oats crop of 1,311,159,000 bushels, or about 200,000,000 bush- els less than last year is now indi- cated. The stocks'‘of oats:on farms August 1 amounted to nearly. 110,- 000,000 bushels, which is an un- usually large quantity and has been wxceeded only. in two years——1916 and 1921. stocks in the markets are also large, and while early threshing returns indicate only fair quality and rather light weights, the prospect of an adequate supply was a weakening factor in the ‘market. .

BY MOTORS AND STEEL Rail and Equipment Stocks Move Up Briskly; Indus- — in Demand. STERLING A we LOWER _——-— - - e e Special to The Washington Post. New York, Aug. 14.——Trading in stocks was on a large scale today, with price movements irreguler. Speculation for the rise was in strong hands and important gains were made throughout the list, United States Steel common soaring to 156%, a new high price and a net gain of 3% points. General Motors was in good demand, selling up to 214 in the first hour, but profit tak- ing sent it back to 211, 3 points net gain. Over 121,000 shares of stock changed hands during the short ses- sion. United States Cast Iron Pipe gained. 6146 points on the day on trades involing 400 shares. The volume of business approxi- mated 1,000,000 shares for the day, indicating outside interest in price movements. Although suggestions were heard in the financial district that the advance in the rediscount rate here was intended as a check on speculative excesses in security markets, traders apparently were inclined to ignore the signal and continued to bid for stocks. Large buying orders were spread through- out the list. and many sharp gains were the rule. Initial prices were to almost 1% points higher, the extreme ad- vance taking place in DuPont, re- flecting expectations that directors of the company on Monday will act to pass along to stockholders its share of the General Motors stock dividend. Much of the early demand represented urgent covering by badly trapped shorts, and, when buying of that character had .been Satisfied, the general list settled back slightly from the early high levels, But all attempts by the bears to depress any group of shares or individual stocks were countered promptly by the element workise for the constructive side of the market. Rail: shares and rail equipment stocks pushed forward briskly, after some week-end profit-taking, with Baltimore & Ohio, St. Paul pre- ferred, Chesapeake & Ohio and Nor- folk & Western in good demand. Norfolk & Western and St. Pau! preferred both reached new. peaks for the year. ‘Other northwestern rails were higher. Conditions in the north- west are generally favoyable, ac- cording to an importan?® railroad executive who has just returned from a tour of inspection, although crops have been damaged in the eastern district by drought. Crop conditions in the western portion of the territory were described as good. Operations for the advance among the industrials ran largely toward the stocks of compantes known to hold large surpluses and which are strongly entrenched from a standpoint of earnings. Discrim- ination in favor of that class of securities had been looked for as a result of the action of the Gen- eral Motors Corporation in capi- talizing its hugo surplus. American Smelting. & Refining advanced sharply to new high ground, extending spectacularly its sharp gain of Friday. Allied Chem- ical and Dye was well bought, saining 3% points on the day. ieneral Electric sold at 9514, new high record price. for the pres- ent stock. Mack: Trucks was strong, advancing to 131%, 1% points net gain, with over 46,000 shares traded in. Foreign exchange was irregular. Sterling was a shade lower. French francs rallied to 2.23% / ae 9 _ ac. WALL STREET GOSSIP New York, Aug. 14 (By A. P.). Public offering of $5,500,000 Havana Electric Railway Co. 25- year 56% per cent gold debentures will be made Monday by a banking syndicate headed by Speyer & Co. The price is 92, each debenture be- ing accompanied by a 25-year war- rant entitling the holder to 28 shares of common stock at $45 per share. Advance applications, bank- ers state, assure a heavy over-gub- scription. The offering will he followed later by an issuo of $6,- 000,000 Havana Electric 6 per cent cumulative preferred stock. _—_— Gold shipments of $7,500,000 were made to Germany this waek, bringing the total on the present movement up to $10,000,000. The metal is part of the gold which has been held here by the Federal Reserve Bank and earmarked for the account of the Reichsbank. It will be used to fortify the gold reserves of the German Institution. Howard Elliott, chairman of the Northern Pafific Railway Co., has returned from an inspection tour of the Pacific Northwest with an opti- mistic view of genera) conditions there. His route took in not only parts of his own line, but also por- ‘tions of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Colorado & South- ern roads. Crops and business are in good condition from Billings to the coast, Mr. Elliott said, but east of Billings crop conditions are dis- appointing in eastern Montana and part of North Dakota. A hopeful feeling, however, is apparent there as elsewhere in the region. The Southern California Edison Co. has put into operation the larg- est steam turbine generator west of the Rocky mountains with a 50,000- kilowatt capacity. The new gener- ator is in the Long Beach station of the company, and its adoption brought the operating capacity of the Long Beach plant to more than 300,000 horsepower, From the viewpoint of those in- terested in the copper market, Ger- many is becoming the _ brightest spot in Europe, says the weekly copper letter of the Mines Hand- book service. German manufac- turers’ have been increasing their purchases for several weeks to meet their needs for expansion of busi- ness. y

? THE WASHINGTON POST: §S UNDAY, ‘AUGUST 15, 1996. CONGRATULATIONS DUE HUGGINS, SAYS M’GRA National Race Is an Open Affair Giant Leader Claims Pennant Chances for 5 Clubs. -_—.— — — “Place and Show” Re- wards Are Helping Baseball. ee By JOHN J. McGRAW, Manager, New York Giants. EW YORK, Aug, 14.—The ma- N jor league baseball situation, as I see it just as our Eastern clubs start West while the Ameri- can league Westerners come to the seaboard territory, is: The National league race is wide open for any one of five clubs with Pittsburgh the apparent favorite, in constant danger if any more acci- dents are suffered such as the loss of Glen Wright a week ago. A mis- hap to any vital cog of a baseball machine now-——-I mean any impor- tant player in a regular position— will hurt much more than it would have a month ago. With the race getting so close in the home stretch guch a handicap is apt to prove fatal to pennant chances. In the American league the Yanks seem to be certain winners. It doesn’t seem possible that any club could overcome such a lead. This is especially true with the Yanks taking on their second wind and speeding up for the finish. They have plenty of punch left for any emergency. ILLER HUGGINS ia to be congratulated as a constructive and far- seeing manager for having pro- wided for just that thing. For example, he secured Severeid to bolster up his catching depart- ment just at the right time. His club is moving along smoothly without any apprehension as to what may happen. Cleveland had the chance of swinging one final punch, but when the big oportunity came the Indians éouldn’t quite make it. The Yanks , were ready and prepared to swing punches with them. I doubt if such a chance will come again for Tris Speaker’s outfit to make up the lost ground. I still regard Speaker’s work with those Indians thjs year as a remark- able achievement. He deserves the season’s palm for haying done so well as to establi his club in second place. Four months ago nobody thought that possible. Though there are many veterans on the Cleveland club it must be considered as a young machine constructively. It has gone much further than most new organiza- tions do but'it has not been able to escape the traditional handicap placed on a brand-new combination. ‘Such a machine usually falters at some time or other during the final drive and Cleveland is no exception it seems. Next year it will move smoothly over the spots where it now stumbles. The big test came at Cleveland when the Yanks went there for what the writers call the ‘crucial series.” In this the experience of the Yanks told heavily. Just the same, that should take no credit away from the Indians and from Tris Speaker. HE difference between the ; two races right now is that the scramble in the American league is for second, third and fourth place money, practically conceding the main prize to the Yanks, while in the National league at least five clubs are playing the race “on the nose,” as they say at the tracks, They all have a chance for first money with a second crack at the second, third and fourth place prizes. This opportunity for a piece of the prize money to all clubs in the first division means a lot to the players. Every day I am more con- vinced than ever of the wisdom of the regulation providing a money prize for hard effort, even if a club does not win the pennant. It gives the fans some real, fighting haseball right up to the finish. There is al- Ways an incentive. ' Second place in either league will mean something like $1,200 to each player on the fortunate club; about $700 to the third-place men and around §400 to the fourth-placers. This is well worth fighting for. Only a few years ago $1,200 was almost as much as the players got for win- ning a world series. This chance for four or five clubs to play the National league race _ “on the nose” makes our fight a lit- _tle keener and more exciting at the fish, but it does not lessen the seramble for the other places in the American league. | » As I write this the Giants seem to have more of a real chance than any other Eastern club and we are starting West in rather good shape. The players have sensed the chance of coming in under the wire for the championship and have deen fighting as a real contending ball club should fight. Our pitchers have settled down into a more even stride and our batters are hitting hard and effectively. They have picked up in base running, too. ; INCE his recovery from ac- cident and illness, Al Ty-. son has come back into the game with a lot of punch and . speed, and it is counting. Travis Jackson is playing wonderful ~ baseball at shortstop and Lind- ..@trom also is going good and ast. Frankie Frisch has been hitting in more runs. In fact, _ the whole club is going better. Unless the Giants have some bad accident they have a very fair chance of climbing right up to a fina) fight. with the Pirates. ‘ the Cardinals and the Reds ct an ca. * — an. : ~~ _-----* Grove Beats Boston After A’s Drop First Boston, Aug. 14 (By A.

For many weeks the youngsters have been training fcr the big event and according to re- ports made by the various directors all are-in top shape and ready for the competition for The Washing- ton Post cup and medals. Although the finals are two days off, playground officials claim that thé summer track season is a suc- cess, explaining this statement by showing figures that divulge the fact that 10,000 boys have been en. ticed to exercise in the open prepear- ing for the elimination meets. Of this number at least 1,200 will be seen in action on c Plaza Tues- day. Due to the fact that high schoo! stars and boys over 18 years of-agce have been barred, the closest kind of competition is expected for The Washington Post team cup. A glance at the material to be used by the various playfields in the meet makes the would-be prophet give up in despair when he attempts to pick the team winner. HILE the team objec- Wy tive is The Washing- ton Post cup, the ef- forts of the individuals will be rewarded by gifts of medals from The Post. Boys who are first, second and third, will re- ceive medals of gold, silver and bronze, the design of which ap- pears on this page. The medals will be awarded on the field Tuesday after each con- test and cards will be given the successful youngsters to identify them at the jewelers where the trophies will be engraved. Teams have been selected on most grounds, but in some cases one or two boys have resigned, due to the fact that they will not:-be in town on Tuesday, leaving places for a few who did not succeed in the eliminations. The playground de- partment has issued a statement to the effect that any youngster who did not qualify should visit his nearest playground and inquire of the director if there is a vacancy on the list of that ground. Several of the play stations held their meets yesterday and two of these, Plaza and Rosedale, had an unusually large number of entries. George Youngblood, coach of the Plaza team, expects a few records to fall through the efforts of his youngsters. E is particularly pleased with the prospects of his Philadelphia was held to,; /T H 115-pound relay team. which will consist of J. Bottazi, J. Sheehan, R.-Hollis and K. Lusby, the first three being members of the champion Pea- body school relay team, which broke the graded school 115- pound relay record last May. Rosedale has a strong team, com- posed largely of hoys who have done well in graded school meets, and Louis Thomas, the coach, will be greatly disappointed if his ath- letes fail to count for their share of Post medals. Burrville and Giddings play- grounds, whose entries appear be- low, will compete on August 26, when colored playground athletes will vie for The Rost cup and med- als.

HAT the caliber of tennis played on the municipal courts of Washington is higher in quality than that in many other Eastern cities is con- vincingly demonstrated by _ the standing in the intercity public parks league of which Philadelp- hia, Chester, Wilmington and Bal- timore also are members. Facing its final match of the season this afternoon, the _ local team is four full games in front of its nearest rival, and from all ap- pearances the only way it could lose the bunting would be by the players discarding the racquets and using their naked hands against their opponents from Wil- mington, for Wilmington is one of the weakest teams in the loop. Against Chester, from which Washington swept all nine matches, the Delaware netmen were able to win but by a margin of 5 to 4. Exhibit A in Washington’s team is Dooley Mitchell, the clever youth who came within an ace of winning the national municipal singles court title last week in Philadel- phia. | HAT Mitchell lost to the defending champion after a bitter four set match is no disgrace to him, for by. going to the finals he confound- ed even his most ardent local rooters, not alone the tennis aeree and critcs in the Sesqui city. But for his own errors Mitchell might have copped the crown. While he, scored twice as many placements a8 his opponent, yet he also committed twice as many faults in wild or netted returns, which turned the battle tide from ar after he had wen the first set. dt was Mitchell’s first tourna- ment of importance, and he con-? ducted himself like a veteran. The only title of the many tourneys in this vicinity during the spring and summer which Dooley won was the local municipal courts champion- ship, which he wrested from Gwynn King some three weeks ago. In the national tourney Dooley received but sé@ant attention from the offigials and was not even seed- ed in the draw, so lightly were his chances regarded. However, be- fore the tourney had advanced far he was the most talked-of player in the title fight, for he disposed of seeded stars and favorites with a neatness and dispatch that defi- nitely stamped him as a genuine star. (. 2 position on the local team, and fills it well. His most recent conquest was the capture of the Western Maryland title just last week. Prior to losing to Mitchell in the local municipal champion- ship finals, King was regarded as the best young player in the Distnict. Bob WYNN KING fills the No. , Considine, Maurice V.

HILE rain caused the post- W ponement of five matches in the Suburban Tennis league yesterday, yet the welcome cool- ing showers did not affect the out- come of any of the three contests, for all were safely packed away in the win column when the storm broke. By an odd coincidence, all the winning teams made a clean sweep of the matches played, the leading Standards, as well as Montrose; each of which lost but one match by rain, won all six contests played. Burleith was the Standards’ victim, ahd the Capitals were the shut-out sacrifice to the. Montrose netmen. The Argyles took the four played from Lakeview. In its mad dash for the cham- Pionship honors, the Standards were forced into but two three-set matches. The Montrose team sur- passed this by being obliged to go into but one extra set for a de- cision, While the record of the Ar- gyles was unblemished by the loss of even a single set in its four matches. ERHAPS the best singles match of the day, from the view of opposition, was furnished by Bob Burwell against W. Carter Baum, in the Standard-Burleith match. While Baum won in etraight sets, 6--4 and 6—S$, Burwell forced him to earn every point. Judd, the other Standard singles play- er, easily disposed of Beyerly, the score’in both sets being 6—1. Tom Mangan played the ace posi- tion on the Montrose team and dis- posed of McCabe, of the Capitals, in short order, 6—0 and 6—2. Me- Diarmid, who played No. 2 on the Montrose .team, was the winner over Atwood by forfeit. The Mont- rose youngster tovuk the first set, 7 to 6, and then Atwood forfeited the second set and match. Paul Harding, playing No. 1 for the Argyles, swept Martin, of the Lakeviews, off his feet with a crushing attack, and he lost but one game in the two sets. Phurtell, the other Argyle singles player, lost three games of the first set to Gib- bons, but took the other by a love score. STANDARD-BURLEITH. Singles—W. C. Baum (S.) defeated R.

Call Adams 6362-W. —_—— RS ineligible last fall, have been asked University of Maryland at College Park on Monday morning, Septem- ber 6.. H. C. (Curly) Byrd, athletic director, will again coach the team. He will be assisted by LeRoy Mackert and Burton Shipley, for- mer Old Line football stars. Players of varsity experience who have been requested to don suits on September 6 are Gilbert Dent, Leland Cardwell and Albert Schaef- fer, ends; Jack Tonkin, end or cen- ter; Thomas Stephens, end or cen- ter; Edwin Rothgeb, end or guard; Earl Zulick, John Leatherman, Don- ald Adams and Fred Herzog, tackles; Sam Winterberg, Albert Granger, Henry Brown and Ted Olds, guards; Harold Bafford, cen- ter; Ed Tenney, Paul Doerr and Arthur Boyd, quarterbacks; Capt. Myron Stevens, Lewis Thomas, Charlie Pugh, Dave Whelchel and Fred Linkous, backs. Those from the 1925 yearling ag- gregation who have been asked to be on hand are: Alfred Burg, end; John Keenan, end, center or guard; Richard Ep- ple, center; John Wondrack, center or guard; William Cockerill, Omar Crothers, William Fletcher, Reese Merriken and Edward Sechrist, tackle or guard material; Gordon Kessler and Milton Price, quarter- backs, and John Parsons, Gerald Snyder, George Schenck and James Gregory, halfbacks. In addition to these is Flick Schrader, 198 pound fullback, who Was ineligible last season, but who made his presence felt as a member of the scrubs. ARYLAND lost Bill Supplee and Bill Beatty, regular ends; Kirk Bes- ley, half back star and punter; Walter Bromley, regular guard; John Waters, Arthur Bonnett, who played off and on as regu- lars in the line; Pat Lanigan, Joe Seth and Ed Coblentz, re- serve linemen, and Walter Troxell, a high-class backfield reserve; Skeets Parker, Hugh Reading and Jack Faber, backs. Filling the end berths, though, is going to be the really big task that faces Curly Byrd, although both of the guard jobs are open. In fact, Zulick and Adams, regular tackles at the close of the last campaign, and Harold Bafford, the clever little center, is all the nucleus Byrd has around which to build a forward wall. However, there appears to be ample material to plug the holes at guard, leaving the wings as the great worry. A pair like Supplee and Beatty is not picked up in a day. 7 Dent, Cardwell, Burg and Keenan appear as formidable contenders for the end jobs. Dent is coming back to the game after being off the squad last year and ig being counted upon heavily. He has all the requisites. Granger, Leatherman, Winter- berg, along with Herzog, who is the most experienced of the _ four, should be strong bidders for line vacancies, while all the tackles:and guards from last year’s freshmen who have been asked to report are promising. If Curly Byrd can plug up his line with any degree of satisfaction, he should have an eleven that will be hard to beat, as his backfield material, on the whole, doubtless is the best he ever has had during bis experience as a coach. & : % i. 53 a0 ~ er Pie Tenney, Whelchel, pinkous, and Boyd left from last Kessler, Parsons, ‘Snyder, Schenck and Gregory, graduates o the freshmen, array.

William G. Burch, president of the league, stated that the circuit is open to all teams that have formed in the city or any club which intends to put an eleven on the field this season. Mr. Burch said that he hopes that at least twelve teams would play in the unlimited league this year, making possible two sections and a championship series. Aside from the unlimited loop, plans will be made at later meet- } ings to form a junior branch, in which it is hoped that material will be developed to fill the ranks of the unlimiteds in years to come.

Whether Washington girls use the playgrounds or not, is conclu- sively answered by a recent pilation of figures by the municipal playground department showing that by actual count the girls’ at- tendance for the past year has been over the million mark—1,089,361, to be exact. Of this number, 1890,- 765 were registered on the 41 school grounds which are open for ten weeks in the summer, and $908,596 were registered on the regular city | playgrounds. | According to these interesting statistics more than 15,000 girls use the 61 play centers each day. How- ward playground had the highest attendance for the year with 203 girls registered; Park View was second with 86,846; Iowa avenue came third with 80,056, and of 68,222. Basketball was the most popular sport, with an attendance of 146,- 541, while the ring games and story hours for little tots was second in popularity with 103,000 each. Of the organized sports tennis claimed second place with 102,614 parti- cipants, and schlag ball was play- ‘ed by 93,607 participants. These | figures, of course, do not indicate the actual number of players, but é | show th eattendance in each activ-. ity for the past year. ' These activities are but a small | portion of the program of the play- ‘ground department, of which Mrs. 'Susie Root Rhodes is superintend- ent, and Miss Maude N.

In the ranks of the Capital City Baseball league's unlimited race, eleven con- tests, all of which have every in- dication of hard-fought battles, are seheduled. Two double-headers and a pair of single games will mark the day’s action in Section A or the sandlot “big time.”’ The Knickerbockers, 1925 cham- pions, and now sporting a 1.000 mark in five games, are slated to tackle the St. Joseph club, which, until it met the Shamrocks last Sunday, had a winning streak of four games, on the Georgetown hollow diamond at 3 o'clock. St. Joe will send ‘‘Lefty’’ Tripp, ‘‘Nace’’ McCormick or ‘‘Mike’’ Farrington * to the hill in an attempt to gain a tie in the Section A race. The Georgetown entry has ‘‘Ber- fie’’ McCarty primed for the occa- sion. The game should draw one of the largest crowds of the season. On the neutral Mount Rainier diamond, the Shamrocks will play their first game with the Chevy Chase nine, starting at 3 o’clock. The Harps, since their loss to Ar- lington early jn the race, have been bowling over their opponents, while Chevy Chase seems to have recov- ered its winning stride. 7 ICTORY pst the Sham- =f rocks, in the event that St. Joe whips the Knicks, means a tie for’ first place. Chevy Chase can get above the .500 mark by winning. Claude will probably hurl for Chevy Chase, with Lefty Kuhnert his opponent. Team.

Hughes and “Big Jim’”’ Sullivan is the pair of mound aces ready to do the flinging for Mount Rainier. ‘Lefty’’ Laycock is sure io hurl one of the games for Arling- ton. "The other Section A double-head- ‘cr is strictly a Maryland affair. The Marlboro nine faces the Maryland A. C. on the latter’s field at 1:15 o'clock. Despite the _ fact’ that neither team has registered a vic- tory in the race, two sterling strug- gles are anticipated. These clubs are natural rivals and both have vowed not to forfeit. With the op- portunity for either or both to ‘break into the win column, good baseball is assured. Section B teams will start the second swing around their sched- ule today.

He has it. Thr Dreadnaugits, although they have not had their best season, are still the tough team to beat. Riley has been named to pitch for the “Big D’s”’ with Giovannetti behind the bat. : Against the Virginians, Manager Webb will 3tart the team he expe:tr to open with in St. Louis, which. with few exceptions, is tha same which has annexed the flag tsur times, Homan and Lemeric hive traded the short and third use jobs, while Desper, the much in- to first base.

Other members of the squad are Ford, Lowery, =" Holbrook and Rouda- ush The Printers made a good show- ing in the Commercial league this year and have won their last four games. A victory over the Dread- naughts would send the Typos away in the right frame of mind, and they mean to get it. Reports from the other Typo camps have it that all teams are much improved over last season, and Washington will have to fight hard to make it five titles in a row.

a " ‘ ‘Little Bill” Beaten in 4 Sets Hunter Trims Neale, Alonso Is Winner Over Holman. Williams and Richards Trim Coast Pair in Doubles. OREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 14 F (By A. P.).—The rivalry that has given American tennis his- tory some of its most sensational chapters started its eighth season today with a triumph for ‘Big Bill’’ Tilden over ‘Little Bill’’ Johnston. Tilden gave a convincing demon- stration of his mastery, beating back his rival in decisive fashion after the Californian had exhibited only a brief flash of power. The scores were 6—3, 4—6, 6—1, 6—1. The national champien’s victory was the high spot of the two-day struggle for international team supremacy in which the East over- whelmed the West, taking all sev- \.en of the matches that brought \most of the top ranking stars into action. HE crow ning touch to the Eastern sweep was ap- plied by the Eastern dou- bles combination of Vincent Richards and R. Norris Will- iams, the national champions, who took the measure of John- ston and Edward G. Chandler, of California, in two sparkling sets, 6—3, 6—4. Straight set victories were scored by Eastern representatives in two other singles matches that com- pleted this afternoon’s program. Francis T. Hunter, defeated Phil Neer, 6—4, 6—3, in the contest that clinched the _ intersectional series, while Manuel Alonso, the Spanish Davis cup star, emerged the winner over Cranston Holman, Stanford star, 6—3, 8——6, in a hard fought battle. The more seasoned and experi- enced array put into the field by the East demonstrated their superi- ority and registering five of their seven victories in straight sets. It was the Eastern ace, Tilden, who figured in both extra set engage- ments, yielding a set with A. H. Chapin, jr., in the doubles, against Holman and Ogden yesterday, while also dropping a set to Johnston to- day. Tilden and Johnston crossed rackets today for the first time _ Since their stirring five-set struggle in the finals of the national singles last September but their match had few of the throbbing moments of that epic struggle. OHNSTON held his own for the first two sets as they. matched drive for drive in a base line duel, but the champion made short work of his rival in the last two sets, bringing the full battery of his versatile assortment of shots into play, as “Little Bill,” wilt- ing in the humid atmosphere, saw the punch and accuracy vanish from his strokes. Tilden, although he was erratic, particularly on service, in the sec- ond set, always held command. He had Johnston on the run with his sharply angled drives to the corners, whipped across his marvelous. back- hand for repeated placements and mixed his attacking strokes craftily in a manner that had the Califor- nian baffled. Tilden himself was wild at times, pion’s errors. Tilden’s cannonball service was a potent weapon when he needed points, but Johnston’s delivery went to pieces near the end. set, “‘Little Bill’’ good only once, made his service | NATIONAL LEAGUE PITCHING RECORDS Player.

Ww! VA. LISTS ‘DAD’S DAY’ CLASSIC. Missouri Eleven Gets Feature Date With Mountaineers. ORGANTOWN, W. Va., Aug. M 14.—The West Virginia- University of Missouri foot- ball game will have the double distinction of being designated as the “‘West Virginia Day Game” and also as ‘‘Dad’s Day Game.” A special effort will be put forth by all the students enrolled in West Virginia university to have their parents, especially their fathers, attend this game, which will be as attractive as any on the Moun- taineer schedule. The entire university will be open to inspection, so to speak, on this occasion and a_ special en- deavor will be made to acquaint the people of West Virginia with their university. Entertainment features will abound and the par- ents will be given the time of their lives at this time. The: rapid ex- pansion of the university plant will give all but the most recent visitors a pleasant surprise. N selecting the University of Missouri to oppose the Mountaineers on the “West Virginia” date, Director of Ath- letics H. A. Stansbury could scarcely have made a _ better choice. Missouri has won the championship of the Missouri Valley conference for three con- secutive years, and in addition, in 1924, defeated the University of Chicago, the team that won the Big Ten championship in that year. The Missouri valley conference includes some of the strongest foot- ball teams in the United States, numbering among others, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas. As valley conference champions and victors over the team that won the Big Ten title, the Missouri Tigers were invited and accepted the invi- tation to meet the University of Southern California in the Los An- geles stadium, Christmas day. The University.of Southern Cali- fornia won tne game, but Missouri’s play won favorable comment from the coast newspapers, football critics referring to the valley cham- pions as the best of the invading teams up to that time, Notre Dame not yet having reached the coast.

Virginia Coach Seeks Fill Shoes of Carter Diffey. NIVERSITY, Va., Aug. 14.— The problem of building up the backfield of the University of Virginia eleven is one of the most perplexing that will confront Earle Neale, head coach of football, when practice begins September 6, on Lambeth field. Carter Diffey, the brilliant field general who was the center of Virginia’s driving attack last fall, will confine his gridiron activities this season to coaching the first year team. Of the seven backs who were awarded the orange ‘“‘V”’ last December, Paul Walp and Rip Loth will also be missing. Buck Cuddy and Ted Laird, veterans of two seasons, and Johnny Hushion and Qunitus Hutter, who were regulars last year, are the running nucleus around ~ which Coach Neale will have to develop the Viriginia offense for the October and November campaigning. The most difficult task will be to find some one to take Diffey’s place in the running attack toward the flanks and wings. In the mass plunges Hutter, and to slightly less extent Laird, can be used to great advantage. But for every yard Virginia gained in the drive last year there were five made in sweep- ing plays calling for a fast start and brilliant running behind interfer- ence. ( | four remaining veterans and but for one thing he might be the-choice of Coach Neale as Diffey’s successor. In addition to being fleet of foot, Cuddy is one of the surest blockers seen on Lambeth field im many a day. Last fall he " performed the in- conspicuous but all important task of taking out the opposition so as to break the way for some of Dif- fey’s long runs. He was also an important factor in Virginia’s de- fensive play. But the man who bears the brunt of the attack must be rested as much as pogsible, and if Coach Neale uses Cuddy in the running formations he will have to count him out in leading the interference and will have to give him an unim- portant place in the plan of de- fense. Hushion seems to be the logical successor to Diffey as field general. He is a natural athlete who thinks fast in action, but unless he shows more speed than he developed a fall ago he will not be the chief carrier of the ball in the offense. Prac- tically the same is true of Hutter and Laird, able and steady backs, but not fast. Two men who did not play last season may either one turn out to be the fast flyer so badly needed. Charlie Frost starred two years ago until injuries forced him out of play. He expects to be in the game this year. Red Smith, a transfer, showed ground gaining ability with the ineligibles, and is considered a promising back. AM PENDLETON, Red Glauber and Jim Ewing are three backs who saw action as substitutes in 1925. Pendleton was third in line as quarterback and is looked upon as a prospective member of the regular backfield of 1926, as Hushion’s chief understudy. UDDY is the fastest of the Both Glauber and Ewing played well at times, and Coach Neale will give them much attention in early season drills. The back field, from the scrubs, Bethel, Gammon, Penick and Pin- kerton, will all be given a chance to show what they can do in the try-outs, but their future is a prob- lem. Material available from the 1925 first-year squad is uncertain. Gar- land Daniels, big fullback, seems likely to get a place either in the line or behind it, and Joe Harrison, a sure drop-kicker, is counted on as a valuable man; but otherwise the men who wore the orange and blue for the first time last season do not seem to offer a candidate for the varsity squad.

ARTHUR HOOE came D in the grillroom of the Washington Golf and Coun- try club one day last week all primed to ask a question. ‘“‘How long,’’ he inquired, wait for a ball to drop cup?” It seems that he was playing in a four-ball match with Dr. Albert L. Bou as his partnet and Dr. Bou putted his ball up to the lip of the cup. If the ball dropped in, it meant a. win for his side. If it remained outside and went in on the next putt, the hole was halved. ‘“T felt certain that would eventually fall into the cup,”’ said Dr. Hooe, “for it was in a little depression, although ap- parently all motion had ceased. I think I waited for fully fifteen sec- onds and then, as I had expected, the ball took a turn and fell to the bottom of the tin. Where- upon,” added Dr. Hooe, “every- body wanted to know whether I had a right to wait as long as I did and it was a question which none of us could answer.”’ Q ed there and then. There was. a general consensus of opinion that in a two-ball match, if your opponent holes out first, he has the right to knock your ball away from. the cup, claiming the hole if holing at the like and the half if holing at the odd. This rule was famul- iar to all. ‘can I in the the ball F course, a discussion start- Dr. Hooe. That question sent everybody up in the air. Nobody happened to have a book of rules, but it was generally agreed that the player could wait as long as he wanted or, at least, a reasonable time. As a matter of fact, there is no specific rule. governing four-ball matches to cover this situation. In a two-ball match the impression that a player, even if he putts last, can indulge in a lengthy wait in or- der to give the ball a chance to fall into the cup is entirely erroneous. There is a rule, mot very well known, which denies him this priv- ilege. It is rule 32 and is as fol- lows: “If the player has holed out and the opponent then plays to the lip of the hole, the player may not knock the ball away, but the oppo- nent, if asked, shall play his next stroke without delay.’’ In Dr. Bou’s case the opponents did not ask that the next stroke be green. The words ‘without delay,’’ however, certainly mean that the stroke must be played immediately. There can be no period of indefinite waiting. In other words, if a player thinks that his opponent’s ball may possibly drop into the cup he will promptly ask that the next stroke be played, and this must be done at once. If the opponent hesitates, he violates the rule and loses the hole. —_—— HE annual District ama- f% teur championship will be played on the Burning Tree course on September 30 and October 1, 36 holes each day, and the player with the lowest gross score will be the winner. The eligible list in- cludes only golfers who have a handicap of 12 and under. Albert R. Sn RT having seen a Scotch foursome played on its native heath, wanted to try out the same kind of a game on the Colum- bia course. The result was an in- teresting contest between Albert and Roland Mackenzie, paired against George P. James and Fred McLeod. Roland and McLeod drove from the odd-numbered tees and Albert and James from the tees with even number. James and McLeod gave a hand- icap of 1% holes to their opponents and were defeated by % a hole. The father and son, playing alternate strokes with one ball, were out in 38, 3 over par. Mrs. Leonard B. Chapman, of the Indian Spring club, and ‘Eddie Towns, the club professional, paired against Mrs. Alma Von Steinner, also an Indian Spring member, and Danny Horgan, the Racquet club professional, are all even in their match competition and will play the ‘‘rubber’’ game on the course of the Maryland club. The Von Steinner-Towns team defeated the Chapman-Horgan pair three weeks ago but the return match last Wednesday resulted in a victory for Mrs. Chapman and Horgan. ‘ The play was distinguish- ed by 2 birdies by Mrs. Chap- man, who had a card of 93 despite an 8 on the fifteenth hole. It is not often that four players will hole out with one putt on the same green, but this actually happened in a recent match at the Bannockburn club. reen: ry Litchfield West~~ I’ve been thinking out a scheme that’s very clever And it ought to make my fortune very fast; I am really quite surprised that it has never Occurred to ardent golfers in the past. I have leased two hundred acres all together, With a hazard that is sporty on each hole, Where we can escape the hot and sizzling weather, For the air is always frigid at the Pole! You can win the trophy for long-distance driving, For the ball will never stop on icy gorse, Amd a walrus as a caddy will go diving In the water hazards all along the course. You can also contemplate with satisfaction That you need not cease your game. because of night} It seems to me this is a big attraction, To play round after round in broad daylight.

COLOR DOWNSTAIRS IS OF NEUTRAL TYPE Master Bedroom Is Done in American Walnut; Solarium in French Willow. Furniture for any home should be selected with a view to harmoniz- ing with the color note of the house, according to Benjamin H. Streeks, interior decorator for O. J. DeMoll & Co., who superintended the fur- nishing of the Maddux, eMarshall, Moss & Mallory sample “house on Luzon Heights for the DeMoll com- pany. The downstairs of this house is of one neutral tone, Mr. Streeks ex- plained, which brings out the orna- mentation and coloring of rugs and draperies, as well as furniture. Be- ing of the Tudor English period of architecture, the furnishings were chosen for harmony with that period. In the living room the rvgs are of soft colors carrying out the color note of the furniture, draperies and walls. The principal furnishings consist of a three-piece mahogany suite upholstered in en- graved velvet of reseda green on a taupe background. The secretary-bookcase is Tudor mahogany of the English period and the Steck miniature grand piano is of mahogany. The davenport table, bookcases, maga- zine racks, floor and table lamps are all in harmony and the finish- ing touch is added by a replica of the Mayflower, considered’ the newest thing in mantel decorations, on the wide stone mantel. The draperies are of hand blocked linen with curtains of English casement cloth. Dining Room Furnishings.

The feature that is going to sell these Luzon Heights homes, espe- cially to women, is the kitchen, ac- cording to Lea Willson, salesman for Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mal- lory, who will place sixteen houses in this secttfon on the market to- day. The sample home has been completely furnished and equipped with every modern convenience. “No woman can see that kitchen without wanting the house,’’ con- tinued Mr. Willson. “The built-in cabinets, Servel electric refrigera-- tion, electric dishwasher and the hundred and one little conven- iences that are time and step Savers will catch the feminine eye more than anything else, although I must say that there will be plenty to interest them in the other sec- tions. “But I am _ banking on the kitchen, equipped as it is, to be the greatest selling argument that can be advanced.’’ IT’S MONTHS YET TO CHRISTMAS, but the people who will be most happily housed and quartered during cold winter weather:are those who right now are arranging aor the rental of desirable houses and apart- ments.

New Houses Are Called Most Complete in City Group of 16 at Luzon Heights Said to Contain Every Modern Convenience—Sample to Be Open Today. “The most completely furnished home ever offered’ for public in- spection in Washington.’’ This is the announced aim of Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mallory in opening today a sample house at Luzon Heights, Sixteenth street near Van Buren street northwest, one of a group of sixteen, for which this firm of realtors has acquired exclusive sales rights. The house, which is of the Eng- lish style of arehitecture of the Tudor period, was built by S. J. Solomon and has been furnished by the O. J. DeMoll Furniture com- pany and the Potomac Electric Ap- pliance company with the most care- ful attention to detail. “T believe that we have succeeded in presenting to the _ public the nearest ideal to a completely fur- nished home that it is possible to ob- tain,’ said J. R. Crutchfield, sales manager for Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mallory, ‘“‘but we do not claim to be infallible and for that reason we are going to seek further suggestions from the Many women who will visit this house. If they can make suggestions for further furnishings that will make the home more complete, we will adopt them.”’ Ten houses in this group are built on solid rock foundations. They are of brick construction, stone trimmed, and consist of nine rooms and two baths each. Large closets, linen closets and the most modern equipment used in modern building has been put into these houses.by the builder. There is a completely finished room in the attic, with a large cedar closet, ce- dar throughout, even to the floor- ing, a feature that is not found in many homes at this price. The walls were tarred before the plas- ter was put on, and in numberless little details of this character, not at first apparent, Mr. Solomon points out, he has endeavored to make these houses out of the or- dinary class. “Tt is rather an odd coincidence that Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mal- lory should take over the exclusive sale of these houses,’’ Mr. Solomon said yesterday, ‘‘because about the time they were being finished,. I asked this firm to appraise them, and their appraisal was exactly $2,000 more than the price at which they are to sell.’’ The lighting fixtures are of a special English design in keeping with the house and are the best obtainable. They were supplied and installed by the Elmer Catlin Co. Each house has a built-in Servel electric refrigerator, in a specially- designed cabinet. The kitchen floor is covered with Everlastic tile floor- ing, cemented to the floor. The buildings are equipped with Fen- estra casement windows, supplied by the Pennsylvania Building Supply company. The roof is of Flintkote copper shingles, of copper over asbestos, made by the Anaconda Copper Co., and which, according to Mr. Solo- mon, will never wear. out. The radiation is of a new type, made without connecting rods, and is designed to furnish the utmost in heating capacity at the lowest possible consumption of fuel. The sample house is equipped with the A. B. C. oil burner, sup- plied by the Automatic Burner Co. This is one of the most modern of this new type of heating plant. The living room has a large fire- place, with handsome | mantle, 4 and THE Used in the: Straub Cinder Block of the Imposing - Maddux,Marshall, Moss & Mallory, Inc Exhibit Home Supplied by Washington Concrete Products Corp.

I have put in- to them the best of everything ob- tainable, and they are unqualifiedly guaranteed. This guarantee will be backed up by every man who was instrumental in completing them, for I picked men who would give me the best.’’ Hot Water Held Big Advantage in Homes Hot water is one of the big es- sentials of the modern home, it is pointed out, and in installing the Welsbach hot-water heater in the Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mal- lory sample home on _ Luzon Heights, the builder did his utmost to assure the future owner of a constant supply. “I consider it the best that can be bought,” said Mr. Solomon, the REAL ESTATE FIRM MAKES SPECIALTY OF SIIBURBAN HOMES Old-Time Policy Is Followed in Selling Sixteen Houses in Luzon Heights. DESIRE IS TO GET AWAY FROM CENTER OF CITY Success at Battery Park, Gar- rett Park and Edgemoor Point the Way. The taking over of the exclusive sale of a group of sixteen houses on Luzon Heights is simply a con- tinuance of the policy of Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mallory of offer- ing for sale chiefly homes which are situated away from the center of the city, according to Maj. H. C, Maddux, president of the real es- tate firm. “The tendency is to get away from the glare and noise of the downtown section,’ Maj. Maddux said yesterday, “and we have backed our belief in this tendency by specializing in suburban prop- erty. For while Luzon Heights is situated in the District, with all city conveniences, splendid trans- portation facilities and all the ad- vantages of downtown Washington, mosphere. Away From the Center. the center of the city is amply dem- tery Park, Md., growing in that time from farm more than 100 high-class homes; Garrett Park, which has been de- veloped by us and practically sold out in the last year; Edgemoor, which has enjoyed a phenomenal sale of lots and homes under our management, and other which we have taken over. “We are careful in tion of the homes we take to sell, taken over at Luzon Heights, but price on these houses of $2,000 more than we are asking for them, they should sell rapidly. We are satisfied that they are _ splendid values and would not have taken them over otherwise.

Editor's Note: Major H. C. Maddux was in charge of con- struction of several of the lar- gest government hospitals dur- ing the war. The knowledge of cost of building material, labor and other building features ac- quired during that period led him to believe that he could build better class homes for brother service men at a mod- erate price and after war mat- ters had been cleared up, he formed a partnership with Brig. Gen. R. C. Marshall, Jr., “and started work on Battery Park, Md. The success of that operation is too well known to need further comment. Later on Col. Moss and Commander Mallory were taken into the corporation forming the firm of Maddux, Marshall, Moss and Mallory, known in real estate circles as the “Four M's”, of which Major Maddux is presi- dent.

The climate is splendid throughout the year. We have had a few hot days recently, but even the weather man has stated that they were abnormal and throughout the hottest weather there is always a breeze that’makes sleeping comfortable.

The material was first tested at the shop, he pointed out. It was installed and was then tested by a representative of the firm. It was further tested and inspected by Mr. ‘Solomon, the builder. Plumbing and heating are most important in home construction, it was pointed out. Proper heating is too short vitally essential to health in the | winter time, and defective plumbing |could cause al] sorts of trouble and ' probable illness. It was to assure himself of the best possible equip- ment in this line that Mr. Solomon contracted with Atchison & Mad- dox, it wae pointed out. ee ae eC ee OO aD Oo oe OOO OOO OOOO Oooo oD Ono oo ee The Beautiful POWHATAN BRICKWORK in the Maddux, Marshall, Moss & Mallory, Inc.

The enactment of laws fostering avYition and providing government assistance in the form of charters, lighted airways, mail contracts, &c., and the rapid devel- opment of dependable aircraft, together with the organization of strong commer- cial air transport companies, insure the prompt establishment of airways upon which passengers, mail, and express will be conveyed with the regularity of rail- road traffic. The first two airways approved biy President Coolidge on recommendation of Secretary Hoover, are the transcon- tinental, extending from New York to San Francisco via Cleveland, Chicago, Des Moines, North Platte, Cheyenne and Salt Lake City, with a branch from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles; and the South- western, from Chicago to Dallas via Kan- sas City, Wichita, Tulsa and Fort Worth. Mail services are already maintained on these routes, and they are further ad- vanced than other routes in the matter of lights, signals and landing stations. Air mail lines are now operated be- tween Boston and New York, Philadel- phia and Washington, Atlanta and Miami. By giving mail contracts and other assistance the government expects to induce commercial air concerns to establish the Atlantic route, from Boston to Miami, via New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Raleigh, Savannah, Atlan- ta and Jacksonville. Another route, the Pacific, partly established, will extend from San Diego to Seattle. Other portions of the United States, containing large cities with abundant traffic, will be connected with the main air routes. This air transport will be developed and owned, as it should be, by private interests. The government will have a jurisdiction similar to that exercised over the railroads engaged in interstate com- merce. In due time, doubtless, interstate air commerce problems will call for the creation of an interstate air commerce commission. For the present the govern- ment will proceed under law enacted by the last Congress, which places air com- merce under the jurisdiction of the De- partment of Commerce, with an assist- ant secretary directly in charge. The discoveries and improvements made by military and naval aviation ex- perts, here and abroad, will, of course, be available for commercial transport. by air; but experience indicates that private enterprise, entering the field of air transport for gain, will make more ‘rapid progress than military or naval aviation. Commercial air systems will develop aviators and machines capable of immediate use in case of war, and will constitute a bulwark of national defense, as the railroads and merchant marine -- are on land and sea. It is high time that the United States should be served by air commerce. A $12,000,000,000 HARVEST. The crop reporting board of the De- partment Of Agriculture calculates that _ the value of the American harvest this year will be $12,000,000,000. The value of the farm and orchard out- put of the United States is steadily in- creasing. The value of all farm crops ~ has ranged from $5,500,000,000 in 1910 to double that in 1926. True, the reported value in 1920 was something like $14,- 7 ~_ ' * 4 > « t SE A Te ee) ee PLY ate TS ee » wists re (a2) ee cere Tae ae eee Pe Ee are ee . ” * i ke nae Fe rw if ely yee Lee year to $3,012,000,000 this year. ‘tions between science and religion. | veto when the great powers agree that | RESET i j 4 ‘ ‘ r ~ | vo" y it m " The ind be Sa it should not be exercised; in other words, the council seeks a way to enforce the will of the great powers upon all other nations, while at the same time holding the other nations in the league. | It is a pretty problem, and its solution is well worth while; for if solved the great powers can always use the league of nations for their own purposes, and they can usually agree among them- selves by a simple process of “division and silence” at the expense of weak and backward regions like Abyssinia, North Africa, etc. There was a plan for apply- ing this method to Anatolia, for the pur- pose of alleviating the growing pains of Mussolini, but the high contracting par- ties found that they had caught a Turk in Kemal Pasha, and they transferred their field of operation to Abyssinia. France’s votes in the preliminary arms conference have shown that she is striv- ing to build’ up the authority of the league of nations. Britain is ranged against France on important questions in the conference. If the league council should be strengthened and made a good instrument for the control of smaller na- tions by the great powers, Great Britain can view with satisfaction the admission of Germany and the ratification of the Locarno treaties. If the league scheme should break down, Britain is in a good position to play a lone hand, without any obligation to support either France or Germany in case of war between them. GREAT BRITAIN’S BUSINESS. Great Britain is a nation depending largely upon its international trade—ex- ports and imports. It depends upon out- side countries for the great bulk of its food and what are roughly called “raw materials.” oe During the last six months, Great Britain’s exports declined from about $2,350,000,000 in value last year to about $1,620,000,000 this year; while its imports declined from $4,387,000,000 last The balance of commodity trade for the last six months was about $1,392,000,000 against it. However, it is estimated that invisible credits, such as investments in foreign countries, ocean transportation, insur- ance, and foreign travel expenditures in Great Britain absorbed the adverse bal- ance and created a favorable balance of about $1,440,000,000. Great Britain has been handicapped by unstable exchange, shortage of capi- tal, diminished purchasing power of the people, and the financial and economic weakness of other countries, except the United States, with which Great Britain trades. The coal strike has crippled its manu- facturing establishments and increased unemployment by some 1,000,000 per- sons. When unemployment increases the people save less, and the store of capital decreases. Great Britain is having great difficulty in regaining the foreign mar- kets it lost during the war. In the face of all these difficulties, Great Britain displays bulldog courage in undertaking to pay its war debt to the United States. | ; RELIGION AND SCIENCE. Two very remarkable pronouncements were made at Oxford, England, the other day. Sir Oliver Lodge, address- ing the British Association, prophesied that the scientific truth of the spiritual world will be forced to the attention of the man of science in the near future, and that science and religion must meet on a common road. He contended that a revolution in thought will then take place, and that science, hitherto en- grossed with material things, will de- vote itself also, and ever increasingly, to the making of great discoveries in the spiritual world. That, undoubtedly, is a revolutionary ‘concept. The: spiritual world is no novelty in religion, of which, indeed, it may be said to be the very es- sence, but it is a novelty in the domain of science, which still ignores the spir- itual, and is. therefore by many supposed, but erroneously supposed, to be hostile to revelation and to the spirituality which is based on it. . In these later years Sir Oliver Lodge, once one of the foremost simon-pure sci- entists of Britain, has devoted himself with great zeal and ability to problems of psychical research and to the rela- For his extreme views of “spirit,” and of what spirit can do when it is:freed from the trammels of the body—when it has shuffled off this mortal coil, as Hamlet would put it—he has been often derided, not only by savants of a more material- istic habit of mind but also by the aver- age man, to whom explorations in the | , Of slag et «ct * > x: \ \ Ny ny MY Wh \ Waka })\ = SIN _ == a ™~ - N NAL NA e Swe) \ \ \ SAY y \ ‘ ty — ' 1}; 7 A Uy Yy / a , \ W//, ; tf Wh/ jj Mi \ of Asst ?

Yet, in the propo- sitions which he puts forward as. likely to receive more and more attention from the scientist, one. perceives nothing but what has occupied the thoughts and elicited the opinions of the great minds of pagan antiquity and of the philoso- phers and the theologians of the East and of the West. Among the pertinent inquiries which Sir Oliver Lodge sub- mits as being bound to call for scientific investigation at no distant date are the following: Does man survive? Is he the highest being of which we can have cognizance? Are there beings of a higher order? Once we overstep the limit of the grave and the gate of death, is there no end to our ascent? For thousands of millions of human beings, past and present, faith has al- ready answered most of those ques- tions—all of them, in fact, except the last. It will. therefore be of the most intense interest to practically all man- kind to see how and to what extent faith and science agree or differ, if and when, as Sir Oliver foresees, science extends its field to the consideration of these abstruse, but in the long run basic, and in the true sense elemental, problems. While the great advocate of the spir- itual was thus giving expression to his beliefs regarding the rapprochement of science and religion on a path common to both, a famous churchman was reach- ing much the same conclusion by a dif- ferent line of argument. Preaching at St. Giles’ church, Oxford, Dean Inge, of St. Paul’s cathedral, London, contended that religion must be and is being re- constructed, in order to meet the condi- tions of the modern world, and predicted that, once the reconstruction has been achieved religion will be found to be the great gainer. With a thought al- most identical with Sir Oliver Lodge’s, the dean laid down the following propo- sition: The outstanding differences between science and religion are for the most part differences of emphasis in asserting the reality of ultimate values. There is more than one path up the hill of God. It is only from the top that we may say that the paths meet and the view is the same, but we are all ‘engaged upon the ‘same quest. but it is essentially comforting, for it . ee ee ee ee ee lets everybody in. 6 and employing a similar figure of speech, That doctrine is slightly platitudinous, THE STANDING OF SWINBURNE. The bringing out of a new and what claims to be a complete edition of the works of Algernon Charles Swinburne finds the literary standing of the most talked about and ‘best abused of the mid-Victorian poets as far from defi- nite settlement as ever. Opinion still fluc- tuates between the estimate of Georg Brandes, who regarded him as “the greatest lyric poet that ever wrote the English tongue,” and that of the numer- ous critics who, seeing no creative en- ergy in Swinburne, charged him with masking his intellectual poverty under reams of sonorous verbiage. The appearance of “Atalanta in Caly- don” in 1865 made the young poet—he was then 28—as suddenly famous as the first two cantos of “Childe Harold” had made Byron; but “Poems and Ballads” in the following year made him Byro- nically infamous. In Macaulay’s strik- ing phrase, the British public was in “one of its periodical fits of moral- ity,’ and it proceeded to deal out true Jedwood justice to the offender. Scarce- ly any poet was ever more savagely as- sailed and maligned than was Swin- bufne at that juncture. He fiercely de- fended himself, but the storm raged unabated for years, and all sorts of un- savory legends and malicious gossip circled around his devoted head. It does, indeed, appear that he was liable to violent paroxysms of anger, during which he screamed like a peacock; that he practiced’ “debilitating irregularities” in the .shape of. protracted solitary drinking bouts; and that he was subject to epileptic seizures; but the grosser ac- cusations have never been proved, and may be dismissed as apocryphal. One natural result of all this hostile talk was that every one learned ‘“Faustine and Dolores” by heart. ‘We all went about,” says a contemporary, “chanting to one another those new, astonishing melodies.” Another result was that it. took Swinburne 30 years of practical tutelage under Theodore Watts-Dunton to live.down the alleged excesses of his youth. The time may not yet have come to appraise at its true worth the genius of Swinburne and to assign to him his proper niche in the temple of fame. But on his: seryices to prosody there is al- most universal agreement. He has en- riched English poetry with a wondrous Pam N . ‘ — pit Bede Me Tete Ce ee 4 4 ie 3 variety of. new rhythms and new me@ sures. Many of his roundels are a sheer delight. In “Tristram of Lyonesse” he has made anew the heroic couplet. He is, it is true, excessively fond of alliteration, but if any one wili take the hymn to Ar- temis, from among the choruses in ‘Atalanta in Calydon,”’ with its great initial line: When the hounds of spring are on Winter’s traces, and study its rhythmical beauty, he will easily perceive that the various alliter- ations are not only not out of place, but are, indeed, absolutely necessary for the swinging effect. Besides, alliteration is the oldest principle in English versfica- tion and has never been wholly aban- doned, but on the contrary, has been employed as a graceful ornament by many of the great poets, from Chaucer to Tennyson. THE WAR’S GREATEST GUN. Dr. Fritz Rausenberger, for several years an associate of the Krupp firm, died recently in Germany. An author- ity on ballistics, designer of the 42-centi- meter “Big Bertha,” which. destroyed the Belgian forts early in the war, his chief claim upon. public interest lies in the fact that he was designer of the famous long-range cannon which the Germans used in the bombardment of Paris. As had been generally guessed, these cannons were the longest pieces of artil- lery ever constructed, being 128 feet in length over all: Each :was assembled from:‘three principal parts. Into an ordinary 15-inch naval gun was fitted an inner tube a little oyer 8 inches in diameter, about 98 feet long, and over the part which projected from the orig- © inal cannon a strengthening hoop was shrunk on. Weighing over 154 tons, the. gun fired a projectile weighing but 220 pounds. The wall thickness of the shell varied. from about 234 inches at the base to a little over 114 inches at the top, and its head was given a taper of from 15 tor J 20 inches to aid in overcoming air re- — sistance. The gun was set and fired at an angle of 50 degrees, and to allow for distance, air pressure, &c., the powder. charge was varied. At the range of 74 miles the projectile left the muzzle at a ‘speed of over a mile a second, and ~ reached « height of over 25: miles. sj | SAP Rae Se = ‘ ‘ - 4 i a > % - : 4, od o 2 ky oes oe ab - 9 *.

To the Editor of The Post-—Sir: The acting chairman of the prelim- inary committee for the proposed international economic conference of the League of Nations makes public the agenda to be considered at the conference.

The part of the program devoted to tariffs provides for a discussion of what the chairman of the League of Nations committee considers ‘‘ex- aggerated protection,” affecting un- favorably international] trade.

Rearing of Government Em- ployes’ Children in Apart- ments Should Not Be En- couraged in Washington, Reader Says in Commenting on Proposal to Build “Rent- at-Cost” Community in Capital. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: May we not commend Mr. Shannon for his unselfish spirit in welcom- ing the project of an apartment house for government employes? It is invidious to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it may not be inappropriate to suggest a modifi- cation-of the plan.. The idea, it is said, is taken from éxperience in New York city in providing apart- ments for industrial workers. The conditions, however, are widely dif- ferent in Washington from what they are in that crowded city of 6,000,000 people, and the needs of the government employes are quite different from the needs of indus- trial workers in a densely populated city. Washington is near health-giv- ing hills and there is a noble river. It is not necessary in Washington, as it is in New York, that children be raised on fire escapes. In these days of rapid and comfortable mo- tor transportation it is possiblo Los the employe to have a piec¢ ground and raise his family in mcre agreeable surroundings thai. bar- racks would afford. Ten minutes from work is neither desirable nor necessary. Wo shovld not encourage a mode .of life whicn would be detrimental to the rearing of children, and where the so-called home is merely a shelter. The government em- ploye can ang should have a sub- urban home, with all that it im- plies, where wife’and children are free and happy and are not mere bread-winners. The day is not distant when government employes by coopera- tion and friendly z:id may acquire a long strip of cheap land on the hills or on the river, with swift trave: c:ong its léngth, and where the needs of life would be met by wise planning. Life in such a good and agreeable region with abundant resources for recreation and enjoy- ment would better serve the health and economic interests of employes than apartment life, and would tend to make the government ser- vice a more worthy and desirable career. The employes by coopera- tion can establish a wholesome and happy community life, the begin- nings of which are evident in many of the suburban villages about us. Let us hope, that our benefactor will change the plan to provide a rural co unity instead of an apartment house. The garden com- munities in England afford inspir- ing illustrations of the wonderful possibilities open to the govern- ment ee: in making the ee out of home life. The man with a family should be encouraged and aided in winning a home. JOHN T. Washington, Aug. 12. DOYLE. Minimum Sneed Laws on Cer- tain Streets and Highways Suggested as Aid to Enforce- ment of Traffic Director’s Request That Police Arrest Motorists Who Drive Slowly and Impede Traffic. To the Editor of The Post—-Sir: An official suggestion from the of- fice of the traffic director that police begin arresting motorists who drive slowly and impede traf- fic is worthy of notice. Possibly, under the District automobile laws, the authority for such action wil] be found lacking. However, the suggestion should serve to drive home a troublesome local factor in traffic administration which has been met in several States and cities by the establishment of mini- mum speed laws on certain streets and highways. The director of traffic thinks that the evil can be corrected by strict enforcement of the provision requiring that all vehicles drive as near the right curb as practicable. If so, well and good. In most cases. however, the question is sure to arise as to what constitutes as near to the curb as possible. On Sixteenth street, for instance. one of the widest heavily traveled streets, there is actually very little room to spare with three lanes of traffic moving either way. With a lane of parked vehicles at the curb, only one lane of overtaking traffic is possible. Theoretically, this is sufficient. but when the vehicle about to be overtaken seems to be driven in even a slightly erratic manner, there is a natural and creditable tendency to hesitate in making the journey around it, particularly if the traffic in the opposite direction is at all heavy. In order for the vehicle about to be overtaken to get nearer the curb, the driver must necessarily weave an erratic course in and out of parked automobiles. The usual experience of motorists placed in this awkward position is that they simply do not know what to do, and so do nothing. The situation is not as complete- ly local as it may seem. With an automobile registration of over 17,000,000 in the United States, and with only a small portion of the over 400,000 miles of surfaced highways falling in the category of favored roads, the traffic situation has resolved itself in many States and cities into the problem of get- ting vehicles out of the way as quickly as possible. Connecticut is attempting to solve the problem by giving its com- missioner of motor: vehicles power to refuse licenses to vehicles which are unable to ~maintain a speed greater than a specified minimum. Certain midwestern cities are con- sidering adoption, or already have adopted, ordinances enforcing maintainance of specified minimum speeds on certain highways. Per- haps such legislation would be ad- vantageous to Washington, with its 90,000 automobiles crowding 550 miles of highways. D. F. W. _ Washington, Aug. 14. . Reader Believes That, Despite Heroic Efforts of Many for New Retirement Law, Credit for Get- ting Measure Through in Waning Moments of Congress. Session Is Due Chiefly to Senator Stanfield for His Work at Critical Moment. To the Editor of The Post——Sir: I have just read the letter of Jean Belding in The Post of August 8 and fully agree as to the value of Mrs. Worrell’s summing up of the reasons for the passage of the lib- eralized retirement law, but while we are discussing the question of credit for its enactment it is well to keep the record straight. Whatever the effect of Mrs. Wor- rell’s letter, and ‘doubtless it was considerable; whatever the influ- ence of the Association of Federal Emploves or that of the Association of Retired Employes, which latter association has been working un- tiringly in that direction through many weary months; whatever the weight of individual letters by the thousand written to members of Corfgress or of personal interviews and argument brought to bear on these same members—whatever the sum total of all these and other in- fluences in bringing about.a ma- jority sentiment in both houses of Congress for the measure, the credit for getting it through in ftiterally the last hours of the session is due to no one so much as to Robert N. Stanfield, who seized the psycho- logical moment when his days ol earnest endeavor to bring about e compromise between the conference committees of the two houses could culminate in success and thus se- cured some measure of relief for olc and worn veterans in the service ol their government. A day earlier o1 an hour later he would have failed. It will be remembered that there was an impasse in the consideration of the bills of the two houses; that, although there was a major- ity in each branch of Congress ready and willing to vote a sub- stantial increase in annuities, a higher-up influence had issued the edict which limited such increase. and the lower house yielded but the other did not, so that for some days——-weeks, I might say—all leg- islation® of this kind was regarded as hopeless. It was at this time that Senator Stanfield’s work for the’ passage of some bill was done; and those benefited should not ferget him. Referring to the ebullition of oratory in the House (by Mrs. Nor- .ton and others) at a time when it seemed certain the whole matter was doomed to defeat, | am re- minded of an old story. In Eng- land a charity board was holding a meeting to decide certain matters relating to their parish, especially the aid to be given the poor. After an enjoyable evening, when several of the members had to hasten away and they were about to adjourn, not to meet for another three months, some one reminded the chairman that nothing had as yet been done for the poor; whereupon a young member rose and impres- sively said: ‘‘Mr. Chairman, before you put the motion to adjourn, I move that we give three cheery for the poor.””’ PHILIP W.

NATURAL BEAUTIES OF SCENERY ABOUND Cliffs and Banks 7 Potomac River Covered With Native reyes ane’ Jeg & « President Adams. Mr. Mercer, president of the company, handed Mr. Adams the spade. The Presi- dent pushed it into the ground, but the spade struck a root. Mr. Adams tried it again with no better suc- so he threw down the spade, stripped off his coat, and went seriously to work. The. multitude cheered and gave loud and unan- imous applause. The canal was completed to Cumberland 22 years afterward, in October, 1850. B. & O. Outgrowth of Canal, Baltimoreans had no interest in the Chesapeake & Ohio canal. They had expended large sums of money on public roads to obtain the trade which the canal would de- prive them of. The business men of Baltrmore gathered at the homes George Brown and Philip E. Thomas to discuss transportation. They organized tne Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. Plans were made that when ground should be broken for the Chesapeake & Ohio canal near "Washington the corner stone of America’s first railroad should be laid in Baltimore. July 4, 1828, simultaneously with President Adams turning the first spadeful of earth for the Chesa- peake & Ohio canal, Charles Car- roll of Carrollton, the only surviv- ing signer of the Declaration of Independence, lifted the first spade- ful of earth for the laying of the corner stone of the Baltimore. & Ohio railroad. patriot pushed the ground; he remarked: cess, spade into the of mv ing the Declaration of dence, if even it be second to that. A line to Ellicott Mills, now Ellicott City, 15 miles from was constructed. Wooden Rails First Used. The name Baltimore & Ohio was because the intentfon of its chosen founders was to push construction from Baltimore to the Ohio river, thus uniting Chesapeake bay with the great tributary of the Missis- sippi. Wooden ‘rails were first adopted, and horses were first used for hauling the coaches over the rails. perimented with a car which carried before the wind by means of mast ‘and sail. Peter Cooper, of New York, finally solved the prob- lem by his little engine, Tom Thumb. By December 1, 1831, steam-drawn trains were in opera- tion to Frederick, Md. The idea of conveying passengers was an after- thought. It was the freight traffic which the Chesapeake & Ohio canal would draw from Baltimore that caused Baitimoreans to build the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and so the history of the Chesapeake. & Ohio canal and its great rival for Western trade, the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is told at the same time. The canal was wrecked by the freshet of 1889. The company could ‘lo nothing to put it in repair, and matters were taken to court. The court decided to issue a decree for the sale of the canal. Politicians interested in the West Virginia Cen- tral railway made an effort, through an act passed by the Mary- land legislature, to sell this valu- able property, worth millions, to that company for about $200,000. The decree issued by the court in 1890, providing for the sale of the canal, provided also that the sale Should be estopped on condition that the trustees make the needed repairs by May 1, 1891, and operate itas a public waterway. It was re- paired and traffic resumed until the spring of 1924, when it. was badly damaged by the two floods that swept down the Potomac. record of Young Republic. The old canal, so closely nected with Washington's’ early activities, should be forever pre- served. in some form, as part of the treasured record of the young re- public, for it bears the actual im- print of the thought of this great American, expressed in concrete form. The ‘‘Washington Boule- vard,’’ running through this his- toric country, following the wodd- ed shores of the quiet river that he loved so dearly—mile after mile of beautiful driveway leading into the city that bears his name—would 2ventually take its place among the great structures of the world. Should the nation let this oppor- tunity pass? Several proposals have been made for acquirement by the gov- ernment of the forests on both sides of the Potomac river above Key bridge. The acquirement of this particular stretch of land, ly- ing at the very portal of Washing- ton, the National Capital, can not be too strongly urged; .for the banks of the old Potomac from its source, in two tiny streams in the mountains of West Virginia, to its mouth, with a width of 7. miles where it flows into Chesapeake bay, witnessed the making of much of our earliest recorded history. In 1608 John Smith explored the river to the falls. In the next cen- tury, at the foot, of the forest-cov- ered cliffs on the Virginia side of the Potomac, John Randolph of Roanoke, and Henry Clay fought their celebrated duel. Randolph threw away his fire and offered Clay his hand. On the other side of Key bridge is Analostan island, formerly known as Mason’s island, the home of John Mason, son of Mason, who drew up the con- When the venerable “I consider this among the most important acts life, second only to my sign- Indepen- ’'i trees, flowers and plants.

Story of Threc Sisters. By far the most picturesque river legend of this*section is the story of the Three Sisters, the small rocky islands in the center of the Potomac river just above Key bridge. Before.a drowning occurs they are believed to emit a sound like the slow chiming of a cathe- dral bell. The three maidens, daughters of an Analostan chief, met one dark night and stole out in their canoes to visit the Powhatans. They were caught in the whirlpool and in fright they flung themselves into the water and were drowned. In the morning three rocks, gray and barren, had arisen from the water. There is an old ballad which gives their story. Part of it runs: “Swifter they come and swifter, With dark eyes gleaming round, With soft words, glad and eager, For the braves of the Powhatan; When out of the darkness around them, Out of the black of the trees, The voice of the great spirit called them, Like the cry of choking seas. They leaped, with a moan of terror, Into the heart of the mere; The waters hissed around them, The stars were white with fear. Three rocks, spired and gloomy, Gray as a stormy sky, Sprang from the depth of the whirl- pool, Where the Indian sisters lie. Ever at night they ring, Like a sad cathedral bell, Echoing far on the waters, They sound the warning bell.’ Cliffs and Banks Flowered. The cliffs and banks of the tomac are covered with The flora of this section is intensely original species. The towpath of this region. found in most places, is the earliest of the spring flowers, and .this followed by the hepatica, trailing arbutis, bloodroot, adder’s tongue, or trout lily, robin, violet, Dutchman’s breeches, bluebells, wild ginger, pulpit, columbine and many others. The redbud and dogwood among the more showy of the trees. The country parallel with the old Chesapeake and Ohio canal an ideal site for a scenic boulevard traversing this historic region and connecting Washington and berland. In the’ preliminary committee on forest and park re- serves, the American Civic associa- tion mentions among the lands de- sirable to be acquired in extending the National Capital park system “both banks of the Potomac from Washington to Great Falls, to pre- serve the forests, the very remark- able natural scenery and stop de- facement by quarry operations, this park-extension not-to interfere with future development for water sup- ply and power plant.” report of its Bryce Pays Tribute. Indicative of a foreigner’s appre- ciation of Washington, the late James Bryce, British Ambassador, said in a remarkable address de- livered in 1913: “TI know of no city in Europe except Constantinople .which has quite close—in its very environs—— such beautiful scenery as many of the woods which stretch along the Potomac. No European city has as noble a cataract in the vicinity as the Great Falls of the Potomac, a magnificant piece of scenery which vou will, of course, always preserve. * * * Some day the people are going to set the true value upon all these things——these spots of beauty around Washington. When that day comes those who come after you will either pay far more for these pieces of ground or else men will mourn in vain over the oppor- tunities forever lost. * * “You have, such a chance offered to you here for building up a superb capital that it would be almost an act of ingratitude to Providence and to history. and to the men who planted the city here, if you did not use the advantages you here enjoy.”’ The committee pointedly suggests that this address deserves to be made a textbook in our schools. This dream of a National] boule- vard and a National Capital forest needs only unified public support to become a reality. Catholic U.

The breezy salesman is warned against following his usual methods of procedure in the coun- tries of both Central and South America. Tact and courtesy——and dr -go a long ways toward get- ting orders. Here follow of the sugges- tions as outlined at the Department of Commerce: “Social and business life is not divorced to the same extent in Late in-American countries as in the United States. As a matter of fact it is pointed out that many an im- portant contract is signed over the coffee cups and many a business deail consummated in the lounge room of some club. It igs advisable, therefore, for the commercial trav- eler going to Latin-America to be armed with as many letters of intro- duction as. possible so that he may gain entree into the social circles which his prospective customers frequent.

In this way they will se- cure a maximum of comfort and cleanliness, and they will also be able to form social contacts which may prove of great assistance them in a business way. “Travelers making their first trip to Latin-Ametica should be exceed- ingly polite to customs officials if they want’to get their baggage and samples cleared without too much trouble.

FTER a happy week passed on the old A homestead in Vermont, the President and Mrs. Coolidge are once more at White Pines camp in the Adirondagks. They return- ed to New York State on Monday and were welcomed back to their luxurious camp by the campers de luxe of the vicinity. Accord- ing to present plans, there will be no more trips made away from White Pines camp until about September 30, when the Coolidges will “break camp’’ and return to the White House for another strenuous year of social and of- ficial cares. Tomorrow Mr. John Coolidge will arrive to pass the rest of his vacation with his parents. The news of his coming has been hailed with joy by the younger set of the summer colony around Saranac. His engagement book is liable to be crowded with aitractive entries, because the son of a President is a guest any ambitious hostess would like to have for sum- mer festivities. Young Mr. Coolidge is an ardent sportsman as well and he may go in for the chamption- ship title of best fisherman of White Pines camp, despite the fact that his distinguished parent is striving hard for the same honor. The bond of affection and comradeship is so close between the President and his son, how- ever, that there is every Treason to believe that if the President’s piscatorial feats are to be excelled by any one Calvin Coolidge would prefer to be surpassed in this regard by his s0n. The presence of Mr. John Coolidge also will bring much joy to his mother, who has made it a practice to devote all her leisure time to the entertainment of her son when he has returned for his holidays. . * * 2 WO cabinet officers were among the spe- tk cial guests at White Pines camp for the week-end. These were the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce. Secretary Hoover stopped off to pay his respects,en route to California, where he is going for a belated vacation. Secretary Kellogg, who is accom- panied by Mrs. Kellogg, is discussing affairs of state with his chief while Mrs. Kellogg Visits with Mrs. Coolidge. That the Coolidges intend to share the joys of White Pines camp with friends is evident from the fact that several house or camp par- ties have been planned by them for the re- mainder of their stay there. It is really a great temptation to have guests at i Pines camp because the guest THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY.

Mr. and Mrs. James B. Reynolds, of Wash- ington, also were recent guests at White Pines camp. ” * » CHOKS of the fall campaigns can be heard at White Pines camp over the radio and from the reports of faithful advisers, and it is said that some of the visitors come for of- ficial as well as social purposes and to lay before the head of the Republican party the campaign progress of that organization in the several States of the Union. There is a social aspect always to election years because the shifts in the. congressional personnel mean the departure of leaders in Washington’s official set and the coming of new stars in the social firmament of the Na- tional Capital. The primaries already have told a vivid story of changes which will come to pass in congressional ranks next November. After the Tuesday which decides the fate of the am- bitious the most frequently seen political bird will be the lame duck. Lame ducks at times, however, step into lucrative positions, one of the most notable eXamples of which was the Secretary of State Mr. Kellogg, who after being defeated for reelection as senator ob- tained first the distinguished post of Ambassa- dor to the court of St. James and then the 1 “enhin of £ AT ¢ -eapir 2 2 oe, x 7 : 4 +s fv ¢ ae b Gf thes. 4m Peat ey - ay Oy - FES aa seat i os eae ewe, | ae 4 > Sees vey ial ™ c fa at . 4 ete 6 ak tk a Pa 17 vee wer ‘i .

Much of the preparation of pres- idential candidates takes place in society func- tions at the Capital, and many a political for- tune has been decided here at quiet little din- ners or over the tea-cups in the salons of politically minded hostesses. The political salon is by no means an in- novation in Washington society. Politics is a fascinating game and women have loved to play it since the days of dashing Dolly Madi- son, who is said to have done much to promote her husband's chances for the Presidency and whose service as occasional White House hostess for the widower Thomas Jefferson, was a training school for her notable achieve- ments as first lady of the land, which are re- membered even unto this very day. As wife of his Secretary of State, Mrs. Mad- ison naturally came to the post of official hostess for Jefferson. Mrs. Madison was a very tactful woman, and while she felt her- self privileged to go over the White House from garret to cellar, yet she did not attempt any social innovations until she became first lady when her husband assumed the Presi- dency. this year’s elections will . * o e WIMMING is the fashionable pastime just S now. Since the increase in the number of private and club pools about Washington and the steady increase of swimming beaches for motor parties, there has been a great widening in the scope of efficiency in this re- gard by the followers of Gertrude Ederle. At the Congressional and Chevy Chase clubs the delightful pools are the excuse these days for luncheons and swimming parties combined. This is especially popular for Sun- day morning breakfasts, swimming being in- dulged in by hostess and guests before the midday meal is served. Even dinner parties often end up in swimming parties at eme ¢f the numerous pools; in fact, night bathing is a favorite phase of this sport. « a ~ * ITH the great press of international W business, it is not surprising that the officials and diplomats who have announced that they have gone away from Washington for the summer are glimpsed on the streets of Washington as they pay visits here.

The ceremony was performed at 4:30 o’clock in the Naval Acad- emy chapel before a notable com- pany of friends and relatives of the two familfes, with Chaplain Sidney H. Evans, U. S. N., officiating. The bride’s gown was of ivory satin, trimmed with rose point lace and orange blossoms, and her un- usually beautiful wedding veil was of point applique lace. She car- ried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies of the valley. The matron of honor, Mrs. Albert George Cook, jr., was in green chif- fon, with which she wore a green picture hat of horsehair. braid, trimmed with green velvet ribbon. She carried sheafs of yellow roses. Miss Effie Irving Scales, sister of the bréde, was maid of honor, and her costume was similar to that of the matron of honor. The bride was attended also by two flower ginis, Mary Graham Gwathmey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William W.

—— Qa f THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1926. rr C Women By VYLLA POE WILSON. HE followers of Mrs. Grundy, who hold up their hands in holy horror over the well nigh universal habit of American women Tiding astride, in turning the pages of early colonial history would find that riding astride was the popular method practiced by the sturdy pioneer mothers of the race. While coaches, chaises and sedan chairs and carriages were used in the larger communities, horseback riding was the general mode of traveling for men and women alike. In revolutionary times women rode astride on rough roads just as women of other nations have adopt- ed this mode of being sure of safe seats on their horses while travel- ing over sorry roads. As a matter of fact, the first rec- Ord of side saddles for women is to be found in the history of Queen Anne, wife of Richard II, who rode sitting sideways, but found very few to follow her example. It has ‘been definitely determined that the first saddie with a crotch was made about 1660. It has been through the medium of riding clothes that a clear idea has been gained that it is not this age alone in which the dress of women has been criticized for lack of femininity, particularly in re- gard to those worn for sporting purposes. We would like to see an Ameri- can girl who would wear the riding habit Queen Elizabeth wore when she engaged in the diverting sport of falconing. The queen had as many riding habits as the up-to- | date debutante has gowns, and many more, for the mistress of the wardrobe reported in 1600 cloaks and safeguards and.43 jupes and safeguards. Habits of Olden Days. In this period, when the popular riding habit, either for side or 31 | | | | cross saddle, has as its basic gar- | ment well-fitting riding breeches, | the yards of which formed these ancient safe- guards seem almost impossible. Per- hanging material | haps they explain the theme of the | romances of other days when the. knight raced after the runaway charger carrying his lady fair, to rescue her from certain death. Im- agine any horse of today which would tolerate carrying the lady and her sweeping draperies, some- | times coming to’the ground. To show that men have been just as foolish in the selection of their clothes in the sartorial history of Khe world, it is well to remember Qhat men also wore safeguards and footcloths hanging down to lrse’s knees and endangering tneir progress. These.footcloths and safeguards were worn With the coats and jubes over the oNinary coats of the »women. In fact, the women of early equestrienne times dressed in their very best, oftentimes with hats of large porpotils, | the | heavy with feath- | ers surmounting the entire costume | and making riding horseback and | keeping the hat on a marvelous feat of balance. This might or -might not account for the grace- ful walk women of other days had nm comparison with the strides of Aaome women today. This theory is Advanced on the same principle that us an achievement of graceful car- riage, balancing weights on _ the head is the best known medium. Even Quaker Women Rodc. Even the demure Quaker women rode horseback in early coloniai days. Their safeguards were large and voluminous. In an old history hese God-fearing women who be- leved in the evils of vanity are described as wearing safeguards “that are very shiftable.” The Quaker women rode by themselves with a safeguard, the history states, “which, when done, is tied to the saddie, and the horse hooked to a rail; standing at meeting time as still as their riders sit.’”’ Some of these Quaker safeguards have been preserved and are’ of heavy linen- like material. Slowly but surely the serpent trailed its way across the vision of the dress conservatives. In seven- teen hundreds women who had to fly from their homes in the pioneer sections of the world to make long Journeys on horses or mules adop:- ed a sort of long hose to be worn with doublet and petticoat. This vas a forerunner of the trousers of the riding habits of today. These Apparently cumbersome and most modest garments called forth the following. denunciations: ‘The Women wear the trousers and fhe vest, while men in muffs, fans and petticoats are drest.”’ Another wail against the mascu- line tendency in women’s clothes Prapeesnemata in a poem written in *“Doublets like men they weare As if they meant to flout us Trust round with poynts and rib- band fayr But I pray let’s look about us For since the doublet so well doth fit ’em : .They’ll get the breeches if they can get ’em.” What a pity the antisuffragist Aid not find this verse during the ruffrage campaign. Sex Dressed Almost Alike. Pepys in his famous diary claims that at one time it was necessary to took at the heels of the wearer to find out by petticoat or boot, whether the riding dress was worn by a man or a woman. In fact, there was a time in the history of the riding habit that the term “feminine” could be given to ——— _—— Swiss — wo UNDER WORD: UNDERWOOD MISS LAURA WINDER MARSHALL, who will be one of the brides of the week, in one of her evening gowns of white chiffon heavily embroidered in beads. The beaded effect comes up high above the waist- line on one side and below the waistline on the other. The neckline is finished with a shallow collar-like band of the embroidery. There is alarge bow of white tulle on one hip. the clothes worn by the men rather than ‘‘masculine’’ to those worn by | the women. But, of course, this | was long before women had asserted | themselves as thinking individuals. | The men sweepingly stated that the | women were following their ex- | amplés in the choice of their riding garments and only a few bold women dared to tell them it was just the other way around. When the sbort-waisted, scant- skirted empire fashions prevailed, the riding devotees divided them- selves in two classes, advocates of the empire as the classical riding habit. It has only been in the present era that riding habits have become independent garments, not swayed hither and yon by the mere whim of fashion unless the development into comfort and beauty and the wide scope of materials and colors used can be regarded as a phase of 'stvle rather than comfort and be- comingness. The books on ettiquette in rela- tion to horesback riding even as late as the early eighteen hundreds were very decided on the subject of women riding trotting horses. Great stress was placed on the ban on fast riding. The ladies of fashion on slow riding horses could carry a parasol or spread a fan with ease. But women came into their ow Soe _—_———— Furriet 1312 G Street N.W.

Some of the most charming of the old English and _ early colonial American hunt prints de- pict the part women took in the Sport of Kings. Pockets of Bygone Days. All cherish the childish memory of some dear old lady who carried in one of her numerous pockets hidden in the depth of voluminous and numerous petticoats delightful treasures which pleased our youth- ful fancy and interest. In these pockets grandmother or great grandmother carried her knitting and tatting, her handkerchief and other necessities. The pockets have played an im- portant part in the progress of dress. In the first place they were worn much as our bags and purses are today. The court ladies and other women who embraced the vanities of dress vied with each other for the greatest and most lavish possession of them. It was only about 50 years or more ago that the fashion, which has now again become obsolete with the well dressed modern woman, of sewing the pocket in the dress and petti- coats came into vogue. Perhaps one reason we will not adopt this style now, outside of the effect it has on the silhouette is that we are hopelessly charmed with the variety of old-fashioned pockets or bags with which the shops are replete. The pocket was a favorite gift and we often read in old letters of a woman ‘‘working a pocket for a friend.”’ Calico Purse in Favor Again. Just as we have stepped from the making and purchasing of calico pockets to the more elaborate quilted pocketbooks of satin and brocade and beaded effects and two pockets joined together with a rib- bon or chain so the belle of colonial and revolutionary and civil war days like to turn from the simple calico and fishing net handbag to more luxurious materials. This summer has marked the re- turn of the calico quited purse or pocket into. favor. This winter we are to have those of the same shape and design made of metal cloth, the quiltings marked with glittering lit- tle beads or pearls. So valuable did the collections of pockets become that they were fre- quently mentioned in wills and among the most envied of women today are those who possess beaded pockets or quilted ones handed down from some woman ancestor. Even the vanity articles which we prize in our modern pockets or bags were not known to our sisters of long ago. Many of their bags contained little folding hand mir- rors, a comforter or handwarm, a tiny box to hold within the muff, dainty handkerchief and, of course, the reviving smelling salts which were indispensable in an age when ladies liked to go into a faint at the least excitement. One old and valuable pocket is fitted with a goodly-sized barrel- shaped flash of strong Bristol glass used for holding New England rum. Insets of Gold Lace.

In the good old summer time are the days when mothers and guard- ians prepare for the school days of their young charges, and in fact take special care for the replenish- ing of young America’s wardrobe generally. Many of the school girls care more about the appearance of their clothes in the schoolroom than for parties. This is most natural, for a great portion of their life in the winter time is spent in the school- room, Since the custom has received the stamp of approval of the smartest | circles of sending the girls to col- lege and letting them make their debuts at Thanksgiving and other holiday times the prublem of c.othes for the college girl has become a mooted one. Also the girls of preparatory and high schools must ‘be ready to take part in everything that comes to their hands in the way of work or play, sartorially, at least. No long- er is it the habit to keep the sub- debutante in the schoolroom safe from all eyes until she makes her bow to the world. The wise mothers have discovered that their daugh- ters have more successful first sea- sons if they have been allowed to become used to society quite naturally as they grow into the stage of young ladyhood. This has eliminated the shy shrinking de- —— really given us something mucs more desirablé in her place. The very--tiny tots come in for their share of clothes consideration; in fact, some of the smartest wome en are knitting the adorable little sweaters and extremely short tight- fitting trouser suits of gay-colored wool which the French children wear almost all the time. Mrs. Robert Dickey, jr., of Washington and Dayton, Ohto, who passes much of her time in France, makes these little suits for her two small sons, beige and blue and gray and other such colors for play, and white and pale blue and pink for parties. For a change these little boys wear rompers but so unlike the practical ones we are used to call- ing by that name, for they are very short, coming up well on the thighs and with no sleeves and round neck ‘and made of very wide bright 'checks on white or very light back- | grounds. Of course, little girls wear knit- ted dresses also with tight little bloomers underneath both the dress ‘and the bloomers very short and abbreviated looking. For party wear and sometimes ‘for school the prettiest little frocks ‘are made of mull, very short and hand smocked. In fact; few mothers can forego the pleasure of putting | dainty hemstitching on their ‘children’s clothes and take’ great pride, in their accomplishment. in | this way. | While the proud little girls and | boys wear their hats to church, that ‘is about the only time they do wear ithem and the little daughter of. ‘a fashionable mother has very little oa head covering for the summer time; but makes it up in adorable little ‘parasols which she carries. for strolling along the beach in quite a ‘grown-up fashion. butante to a great degree but has IN THE AUGUST FUR SALE / Furs Flexible ec) URS flexible as fabrics, as responsive to the mode as the most pliable of textiles, are shown in the August Exhibition— Sale at the Erlebacher establishment.

ede ee ————— SIOELIGHTS ONWAR INERT VETERANS AT SOLDIERS’ HOME Battles of Many Conflicts Fought Over and Over On Benches Under Trees. 1,634 FORMER SERVI MEN FIND CONTENTMENT Established in 1851, Haven Now Comprises 500 Acres; Lincoln Lived There. ee ee On the crest of a lofty hill in north .Washington, commanding a panorama of the huge bowl that incloses the eity and the white course of the Potomac at the south- ern border, is a kind of battlefield on which the battles of the past are fought over and over along the bench rows under the trees. Of the many diversions and amusements provided the veterans of long-canceled wars at Soldiers’ Home, none are brought so much into the general use as_ these benches under the tress, and no employment of hand or mind on these benches is so constant, not even the reading of newspapers or arguments over baseball, as the re-fighting of old battles. The seeker after history. will find it at Soldiers’ Home clearly, and sometimes garrulously, retailed at first hand. A thousand sidelights on the conquering of the West, and on the previous conquest of the South under Grant and Sherman, are stored within the minds of these old fighters. Every impor- tant Southern battle and Indon con- flict is represented among them-— except Custer’s last fight, and there are some who watched Custer march over the hills, whence he Was not to return. Every veteran has a of stories, snatched red the surge of the conflict, more spirited and alive than the formal presentation of history. ‘tnd it is not unnatural that they should love to recite them. The heroic still lives in their souls. The impressions of moments of supreme exertion, calling forth the finest qualities of manhood, are to their minds like the movement of the tide—a kind of magnet to which their thoughts are impelled,. when their minds are released from temporal matters and kept unem- ployed. repertoire hot from and far Fighting Days Are Over. Soldiers’ Home is the place of soldier, rest,’ for there his fight- ing days are over. There the vet- eran has nothing to do but sit on the benches, or do what else he chooses, but at that the home is not so dull a place as such a condition might imply. The majority of groups of men lounging about on a summer day would be about as in- teresting as ducks and chickens. But there is something individual and unusual about these men. Immediately on entering the gate the visitor is aware of a new in- fluence, vastly different from the world outside. Here is a veteran who shows in his step and manner the drill of discipline, and here is another aged soldier in whose vig- orous personality the spirit of the civil war itself seems made incar- nate. Taken as a whole, the vet- erans are a great body of travelers who have seen strange things. Something of the military and martial atmosphere seems wrought in the home also. Cannon are mounted at many places on the grounds and at several entrances to buildings. The shrill note of the bugle informs the members of the home that breakfast, dinner and supper are ready. The bugle is sounded at 6 o’clock in the morn- ing and breakfast is one hour later. The military spirit that pervades the place is considerable. More than in any meeting of veterans, military terminolagy is apparent in the conversation of the men. That is probably because many of the members are dyed-in-the-wool vet- erans and have spent a large part of their lives in the camp. Baseball ‘‘Kanning” Diversion. But in spite of the fact that the companionship -of soldiers, though in retirement, is an encouragement to .military things and an incentive to thoughts of war, there is one topic at the home purely civilian and allied to peace that excites deeper and more sincere interest than on the streets of Washington. It is baseball. Some of the most vigorous rooters for the Washing- ton eam likewise occupy the benches. If Goslin makes an error, nowhere is he more soundly rated. If Walter Johnson wins a shut- out, no where is he more roundly praised. Another diversion. is chess and checkers, for which the older men have the most marked failing, and poo! and billiards, affected more by the vounger vetefans. Then there is the theater, beautifully construct- cd of marble; in which popular movies are presented. The famous Soldiers’ Home band gives frequent concerts. A gymnasium also is provided. The radio also is en- joyed. Head sets are spectally in- stalled. for the blind. On Sundays chureh services’ are held by both Catholic and Protestant chaplains. The home has an excellent library of 19,000 volumes. The men do considerable reading. Fiction is most popular among them, it is said, and they have a particular liking for cowboy stories. Some- thing on the order of the “rongh and tumble,’’ it is explained, is more to the liking of a soldier. 800 Have Duties at Home. More than 300 of the members are employed at various duties about the home, and in this way eurn ready cash. Others are em- ployed in more respansible posi- tions. Only a few work at the 5 home’ 's famous dairy. _, Among the visitors at the home are young people, whose purpose ‘pt THE WASHINGTON POST: a a ee : Seah c Ueeee. i C Mae ei tainers.

There is onething . seldom at the home, it is said. personal encounter. The men seem to have gotten enough of fighting. before they came there. The fare, they state, is absolutely first-class,» equal to board at a month downtown.” But the home has apparently solved the high cost of living, for the regular mess aver- ages a per capita cost of 36 cents a day, the hospital mess, day, the dairy mess 57 cents a day, and the yearly per in the reports. the year just closed only 87 war veterans are listed. ous year showed 117 Veterans of the Spanish war The previ- form any war. Veterans of the Indian veterans of the world war rapidly on the increase. The last veteran of the Mexican war, William Harmon, died durin: the last year while on furlough at Ocala, Fla., at the age of 96 years. He was long a familiar figure at ‘the home. The senior member now is William H. Leffingwell, 93 years old, civil war veteran,gof Crawford, Pa. ‘Uncle Sam” Disappears. The home lost its most famous character, in fact, one of the famous characters of the country, during the last year. George Campbell, civil war veteran of Boston, Mass., known throughout the country as ‘“‘Uncle Sam,” left the home flat sev- eral months ago following a squab- ble over a room. No one seems to know where Uncle Sam went, but it is presumed that he went to some other home. Uncle Sam traveled widely over the country to take part in pageants and parades dressed as the mythical figure representative of the United States government... An interesting personal anecdote is told of his par- ticipation in the parade at the first inauguration of President Wilson. Uncle Sam was the central figure on the Liberty float. Standing be- side him with her Hand on his shoulder was the Goddess of Liber- ty, and he was surrounded by 48 beautiful girls representing the States. At Peace monument the float passed... A number of the members of the home were gathered there. Uncle Sam was sitting erect and impassive as a statue. One of his ‘‘buddies’’ happefied to cross the street, and spying him, yelled out, “Hello, Campbell!” Sam did not feel complimented, however, and told him ‘that he might go to the well-known warm regions, adding with an emphatic expletive that he never knew him. The Goddess of Liberty completely lost her dignity, and the 48 beautiful girls nearly fell off the float. Established in 1851. The Soldiers’ Home was estab- lished in 1851. The initial sum of $100,000 appropriated for the pur- pose was part of an indemnity levied by Gen. Winfleld Scott on the City of Mexico and turned over to the vo aoe: iu, anmuncntion = ti $100) 55 cents a ; ‘ple proceeds which soon gave the capita expense | mene ee something more than $504 a year. ‘several millions, the assessment was The present membership of the) home is 1,634, of which 1,182 are, now at the home and the rest on, furlough and in hospitals to which | special cases at the home are sent. | The rapidly thinning ranks of the, civil war veterans show inexorably | . ° ° | . is y In.the report soy | Recessity some time in the future, C1Via | : : ‘it is said, at the home. | the greatest number representing | wars are also on the decrease and! the older veteranstand hear their | experiences.

Because of these am- home a balance in the treasury of in time reduced by half and finally discontinued. Larger Income Sought. The discontinuance of the assess- ment and the growing membership of the home, however, point to the of taking some means of restoring the income'so that it will keep pace with expenses. The home is composed of six arge and beautiful dormitories and buildings, named from the more outstanding generals of the civil war. At the beginning of the home the members were housed in a resi- dence called the Anderson cottage. This cottage, which now accom- modates 25 men, was used by sev- eral Presidents as a st!mmer resi- dence, among them President Lin- coln. President Buchanan was the first President to use it. The Pres- idents went there seeking relief from the heat of the city, it is said. The buildings are all of the first class and quite expensive. One of the features of the home fs the hos- pital, with a capacity of 4790 per- sons, under the care of a corps of doctors and nurses. The hospital is for the infirm as well as sick. More than 300 of the members of the home are continually in the hospital. The home grounds comprise 500 acres of beautiful lawns and sloping greenswards. The initial purchase of land was 256 acres. There are 10 miles of driveways and 5 miles of walks on the grounds. Dotting the grounds are many unusual kinds of trees brought from various parts of the world. Board Governs Home. -The home is under the control of a board of commissioners. Its offi- cers are a governor, deputy gov- ernor, secretary and treasurer. Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss is the present governor. Admission to the home is by con- sent of the board of commission- ers. The soldier or retired soldier who has served faithfully and hon- orably 20 years, those unable to earn their own livelihoods because of disabilities honestly incurred in service, and those who have paid the monthly tax and become dis- abled after enlistment are eligible. A special uniform is provided members of the home, which in- cludes a blue overcoat, blue dou- ble-breasted coat and blue trougers, white shirt and collar and .black tie, black hat and black shoes. In the summer the uniform is the same, except that the materials are lighter and a straw hat is supplied. The home has the finest dairy, it is, said, in the United States. The dairy has a herd of 100 Hol- stein cows of the purest breed. There is hardly such another cow aristocracy in the world. The average 15,008 pounds of ~~ oe . ‘average milk production, The dairy is one of the ablest managed in the country. An effort is being made to raise further the the goal ‘being 20,000 pounds per tow. This on the pay envelope of| is said to be the very Pike’s peak of milk production. On account of the unusual care given the herd and the fact that no land is available for a summer pas- ture, compelling the feeding of an unusual amount of grain in sum- mer, the cost of the milk produc- tion is greater than the retail price of milk in the city. By a recent estimate the cost is 49 cents a gallon. By another cal- culation, which includes in the cost ‘the amount of interest which the investment would bring if placed with the other funds of the home in the Treasury drawing 3 per cent in- terest, the cost is 63 cents a gallon. This is to some extent offset, it is explained, by the superior qual: ity of the milk. The cost would be greatly lessened if grazing ground were available. But the ground has been taken up by driveways and park areas. The first importance of the herd, however, is that of a~model of ex- cellence and a pattern of dairying possibilities. Then the sick in the hospital have the benefit of ‘the ex- cellent milk and butter, and better they could not have if the wide world were searched over. In the herd is one cow of cham- pionship caliber. Mary Alexander Barksdale is her name. She is 5 years old and will produce, if she keeps up her present, pace, 28,000 pounds of milk this year. The world’s record is 37,000 pounds. 160 Acres Under Tillage. In order partially to support the herd, 160 acres of land is under tillage, being planted in alfalfa, corn and orchard grass. The corn is all turned to silage and packed in four massive silos. ° Gen. Piebe, the $190,000 bull, heads the herd. Gen. Piebe has only one fault—his disposition. With his handsome form he. has also the eye of a genuine devil. The general’s entire family is bad, it is said, and his son is reported worse than he. His family, how- ever, is of royal lineage in the world of cows. The home has also a fine chicken farm with 3,000 white leghorn hens, one of the best layers in all chickendom. The eggs are likewise used by the hospital. An effort is being made to build up-this strain just as the herd was brought to the pitch of excellence.

Virtually every _ State and many foreign countries are represented in that department. The new course for day students is described as unique. Conspicu- ous in the program of studies is the absence of so-colled dead languages, modern languages and higher math- .ematics.

z - THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST (15, 1926. ‘ | AT THE CHESS TABLE \\- By WILLARD H. MUTCHLER. It has been frequently stated in this column that President Stirling Kerr, of the Capital City Chess club, has done much toward keeping the District to the fore in the nation’s chess activities. His latest contri- bution, which made possible Ma- roczy’s participation in the recent Pan-American tournament, has earned the unbounded gratitude of the American chess public. Through the medium of the American Chess Bulletin recognition of this grati- tude was expressed in an article captioned “‘At the National Capi- tal,” and an excellent photograph of the local president was included. We quote the article in its entirety: “The Capital City Chess club, of Washington,. D. C., is exceptionally honored by the fact that it has for its president Lieut. Col. Stirling Kerr, recently elected commander of the Military Service Legion for the fourth consecutive time. Col. Kerr, who is a 33d degree Mason and is general secrétary of the Scottish Rite bodies of Washington, was reelected for a third term as president of the chess club in the annual election in June. His chess activities began in the old Mercan- tile Library Chess association, of Philadelphia, in the days of George Reichhelm, prominent chess master and problem composer of that time. He also held memberships in the Franklin Chess club, of that city, and the Wilmington Chess club, of Wilmington, Del. “The committee of the American chess tovrnament feels under special obligation to Col. Kerr, for it was through his efforts in behalf of Geza Maroczy that the Hungarian master was enabled to be present at Lake Hopatcong. | Maroczy had obtained reservations | for his passage home and had plan- ned to sail on July 3, when he de- cided he would remain and accept the invitation to play in the Pan- American. It was necessary to get from the immigration authorities permission to stay in this country, but the papers in the case moved along all too slowly. Thanks to the personal attention of Col. Kerr, Maroczy finally obtained the needed extension. This, too, will permit him to play in Chicago late in Au- gust. ‘A friend in need is a friend | indeed.’ ”’ | Maroczy’s effort against Marshall in the fourth round is appended. His final score in the tourney 4%45-—--3% and he finished third be- | hind Capablanca and Kupchik, Jead- ing Marshall and Edward Lasker. FRENCH DEFENSE. Marshall. Maroczy. hite. P—K4 P—Q} .

The game between C. W. Stark and F. W. F. Gleason developed into an exciting contest in which first one player and then the other held the upper hand. Errors in position judgment played no small part in the final outcome as Glea- son had a win easily within his grasp just a few moves before the struggle ended in adraw. The score is appendéi.

WHO’S WHO.IS COMPILED FOR THEIR INFORMATION List of Specialists in Indus- trial Property Also Is Published. With the growth of the cooper- ative apartment in the favor of the city dweller, the demand has de- veloped for an exchange of this. form of home between cities. The cooperative apartment owner who moves from one city to another wishes to purchase his apartment home in the new city and demands the services of a real estate broker who handles this newly developed form of property. To fill this need, the cooperative aparvi..rsnt section of the mortgage and finance division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards is preparing a ‘‘who’s who of real- tors’’ specializing in cooperative apartments. The directory will give a sum- mary of the business experience of members of the section, including the names of any books or articles that have been written by members and information of the types of cooperative apartment buildings that the members have finished and sold. A similar ‘‘who’s who” of realtor specialists in industrial property has already been completed by the industrial property division of the association to facilitate the bring- ing together from various parts of the country of prospective buyers and sellers of factory sites, manu- facturing buildings and industrial subdivisions. The property man- agement division has appointed a committee to investigate the advis- ability of such a directory for its members. . Data Nationally Exchanged.

OEGOND MORTGAGE [0 oAFE IF PROPERLY MADE, SAYS EXPERT Can Be Wholly Conservative, Declares Writer in 1926 Real Estate Annals. |}POPULAR NOTION FALSE; SAFETY FACTOR AMPLE Secondary Financing’s Real Role Described; Other Points Covered in New Work. The second mortgage is not a poor imitation of a first mortgage. It is not a mark of financial incom- petence and distress. Se¢ondary financing can be conservative and safe, as primary financing can be conservatve and safe. Clearly de- fined principles apply in one case as in the other. There is no justi- fication for excessive costs. There is no reason why secondary financ- ing should be left to irresponsibles, and every reason why it should be in responsible hands. These are some of the principal points brought out in a discussion of financing above the first mort- gage which is given a leading posi- tion in the “Annals of Real Estate Practice for 1926,’’ the nine-volume publication of the year’s contribu- tion to real estate method and thought issued periodically by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The nine volumes are now on the press, and will be issued about August 20. Robert B. Beach, executive vice president of the Republic Realty Mortgage Corporation of Chicago, is the author of the article on sec- ond mortgages, which is included in the special volume on real estate finance. A foreword to the article calls attention to the fact that more and more it is becoming real- ized that the second mortgage plays an important part in the economics of real estate ownership, and advances the belief that Mr. Beach’s discussion will do much to clarify thought on the principles (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7, COLUMN 4.) . , . w= and Move Into a Gruver-Built Home Our low cash payment puts a good home within the reach of all—and be assured that a Gruver-built home will stand comparison with any in the city.

This practical desire for saving and greater results with less cost has spread into the home lives of thewation. Recent years have wit- nessed in all our great cities an increasing partiality for the coop- erative form of apartment resi- dence, with its numerous econo- miés and practically enforced re- strictions. The realtor of today is ever endeavoring in every way to sell his clients greater residential satisfaction, and he has recognized in the cooperative apartment the answer to the dominant Many factors contribute to the | steadily-growing partiality of ur- ban residents for an apartment Chief among these is the Ground hibitively high for the erection and maintenance of individual houses, but the distribution of such land values among hundreds of ‘‘bunga- low units” in one substantial build- ing greatly reduces the cost of each of these units to its owner-occu- pant.

Control Neighborhood. One of the advantages that seems to appeal strongly to all cooperative apartment residents is the complete control of new owner-occupants, as- suring congenial neighbors at all times—a feature possible in no other known form of home. The original builder of the cooperative structure must exercise the greatest care in selecting purchasers from | the same walk of life and of con- | genial temperaments; he knows the | success of his building depends | upon his doing this. When ownership and control of the building have finally passed into the hands of its occupants, the board of directors of the owning corporation — chosen by popular vote of the occupants—must pass on every transfer or lease of an apartment (represented by an equivalent block of stock) to a new owner and must, on behalf of the other occupants, approve that pur- chaser as a desirable neighbor for all before his ownership of the apartment can be consummated.

A selected bibliography covering the whole subject of real estate has just been issued by the National real estate now being conducted by real estate boards and by a num- ber of colleges and universities. How rapidly there is being built up a body of literature on real es- tate and the various specialized matters fonnected with real estate is shown by the fact that the bibli- Ography now being issued contains approximately 25 per cent more titles than were contained in a similar bibliography published by the association a year ago. “KNOW OHIO WEEK” PLANNED BY REALTORS Governor arid 20 Civic Or- ganizations Participate in Movement.

PLANS GOLF COURSE AND OTHER FEATURES Landscape Architects Will Be Employed to Draw Re- stricted Plans. Announcement last Tuesday that negotiations were being concluded for the sale of the Joseph Leiter 518-acre farm on the Palisades of the Potomac to Ruby Lee Minar, Washington real estate woman, has caused a great amount of specula- tion in realty circles as to the future of this famous estate; whether the magnificent country mansion is to be left intact; what is to become of the mammoth barn, and whether the property is to be retained by Mrs. Minar or resold by her in its entirety or in home sites. Mrs. Minar answers these ques- tions by saying it is her intention to give Washington its first river- front subdivision restricted to homes of the finest sort. Her plans, tainable and the erection of homes whose architecture shall be under approval, tects. designs of the dwellings to be erect- | ed,”’ said Mrs. Minar, ‘“‘are to be in keeping with the impressive | beauty: of the Palisades and with the artistic treatment accorded the property when Mr. Leiter was mak- ing it hishome.

Not until they have finished will the large force of subdivision work- men begin the clearing and de- velopment of the land. Largest Sale in Years. The sale of the Léiter property will go on record as one of the largest real estate transactions for many years on the Virginia side of the Potomac. Negotiations had been in progress for about a year between Mr. Leiter and Mrs. Minar. A substantial agreement was reached just prior to the Christmas holidays, but a conclusion of the deal was delayed first by the fact that Mr. Leiter was leaving on a 60-day hunting trip in Louisiana and later because his presence was required in Chicago. He came to Washington two weeks ago and at that time the final details of the transaction were agreed upon. Mrs. Minar has been in the real estate business in Washington for the last seven years, and except for a few months in 1910, has special- ized in property on the Virginia side of the river, where she felt there were incomparable opportunities for residential development. She is the owner and developer of Lee Heights,, where $1,000,000 worth of land has been sold and many homes built since it was first placed on the market. Lee Heights is made up of about 400 acres, principally in three large tracts purchased by her, respectively, from Dr. Presley M.

EXCESS CONSTRUCTION DISCOVERED IN SURVEY 87 Municipalities Are Found to Be Overbuilt, Asso- ciation Says. The August number of ‘the Na- terial was relatively lower and la- bor costs relatively higher than in any year recorded, according to a building construction study in the July issue of the Department of La- bor’s monthly labor review, based upon permit figures of 130 cities re- lating to new construction of all kinds, residential and nonresiden- tial. The survey gives the following in- dex numbers of costs of constructing a typical building, amount of build- ing done and the ratio of cost of material to labor: Cost of constructing The survey as reviewed by the bulletin of the National Lumber Manufacturers association finds in each of the years 1923, 1924 and 1925, an excess of building over normal requirements, as shown by the population lines. At the end of 1924 the shortage during the war period had been more than made up. The year 1925 reveals a sur- plus of building over the normal needs of the year; in fact, the coun- try as a whole, as indicated by the 13 0 cities at the end of 1925, was 11.2 per cent overbuilt as compared wit h the year 1914.

TO PRESENT “HIAWATHA” Lawrence, Kans., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—Once again the monotonous roll of Indian drums, the cries of Indian braves and the aroma of simmering buffalo meat will float on the breeze across the Kansas prairie. In October, 5,000 Indians, repre- senting more than 50 tribes, will gather in Lawrence for the four- day homecoming and dedication program of the Haskell Indian in* stitute. A modern Indian village will be set up on the Haskell reservation and the four days will be crowded with features, including a world’s championship war dancing contest, a buffalo barbecue and a gigantic parade, which will culminate’in an intersectional football game, Octo- ber 30, between Haskell and Buck- nell university of Lewisburg, Pa. The celebration is one of the most ambitious undertakings ever attempted for the American In- dians. “In connection with the celebra- tion features attendant to the large gathering, the attention of mature Indians will be called to the oppor- tunities offered their children through education,”’ said Clyde M. Blair, superintendent of the insti- tute. “The older Indians are losing their antagonistic feeling toward education and are anxious for their young people to attend college if possible. “Haskell graduates exert a good influence on the peoples of their tribes and many of them stay on the reservations in various official capacities, from superintendents down. Ruben Haas, a Pottawato- mie, is at the head of the Wind River jurisdiction in Wyoming and L. S. Bonnis is in charge of the Cheyenne-Arapahoe district at Con- cho, Okla.”’ One of the features of the pro- gram is a presentation of Longfel- low’s ‘‘Hiawatha”’ by students of the institute, assisted by visiting In- dian dancers. The new stadium, which will be dedicated, seats 20,000 persons and was built by funds provided wholly by Indians.

Two oils tanks, each of 10,000 gy | allons capacity have been installed in the space set aside for the engine and boiler rooms on the Fourteenth street side. The boilers will be so arranged that either coal or oil can -| be used for heating. It is expected that oil will be used, as it is less troublesome and cleaner. The 20,- 000 gallons that the tanks will hold will be a two weeks’ fuel supply. Although the clapboarded house |has not perhaps the individuality of some of the other types of | houses, still the element of chance has been taken out of its erection by long years of use— it is a tried and true friend of many genera- tions. The clapboard house which we “ | show today is planned for a small family—three or four people with- out servants—and it combines the newest ideas for comfort and con- venience that have been evolved by ‘the building wave of the last few years. The house is_ painted cream color with a brown stained shingled roof and brown painted shutters. The pediment over the entrance door is supported by slen- der white columns. The hood over the three living room windows breaks the facade agreeably—and in the case of the windows and the side entrance to the cellar, afford protection from storms. The main entrance leads into a passage hall which opens on the principally lighted by the three front windows which, therefore, ought not to be curtained too heavily and the door to the sun porch may be of glass so as to contribute illumination. Between the sun porch and the living room is the fireplace. The dining room is entered through an archway without a door.

Ay JE 4 ith Distinctive Homes By Price & Barber Fort Pierre, 8. Dak., Aug. 14 (By A. P.).—In a gully on the Missouri river’s western bank a few hundred buffalo nestie lazily were once roamed thousands of their kin. They represent the remainder of ithe old Scotty Phillips herd, once 'the. largest buffalo herd in captivity ‘|; and the source of almost all the |buffalo to be seen in American /parks and preserves. Phillips, an Indian trader and a (|; rancher of a generation ago, was ||| the first to take practical recogni- _tion of.the fact that the buffalo was ||| dying out. He established a herd i!of the shaggy beasts on his ranch ii}; here, and with his half-breed wife |i cared for the animals until the herd '||numbered many thousand, and was virtually the only buffalo herd, wild or tame, in the United States. Since the death of Phillips some years ago the herd has been largely dispersed, and parks and reserves in a dozen States have established herds of their own by acquiring animals from the ranch here. Cir- cuses and carnivals also have been good customers. — The Phillips herd now numbers less than 2,000, but each fall the ranch is the scene of a big buffalo hunt, in which sportsmen from throughout the country participate.

The buffalo hunter’s greatest peril laid in the danger of being un- horsed in the path of a buffalo stampede. The animals, running forward, would never swerve from a straight line. Occasionally the buffalo would charge a mounted hunter, but the animals are easily outridden if a path of escape is clear. Likelihood that the buffalo ever will become’ extinct. has virtually passed.

Owners ONE-THOUSAND-ONE FIFTEENTH STREET AT K THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST SECOND MORTGAGE IS S(F* IF _ PROPERLY MADE, SAYS EXPERT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) underlying junior financing and to place its procedure upon a scientific basis. “The popular misconception of the second mortgage, as necessarily extremely hazardous, comes from a failure to understand the purpose of secondary or junior financing and from a lack of understanding of the principles which apply to the second as distinguished from the first mortgage in purpose’ and method,”’ the article asserts. “The service of the second mort- gage is essentially different from that of the first mortgage; the con- ditions are different; the hazards are different; the safeguards are different. But the net result-—as safeguards are balanced against hazards—is the same, “The principle most characteris tic of secondary financing is that of + _ amortization, in plain Eng- li easy monthly payments. It is the ‘budget plan’ about which we hear so much nowadays. It is the constantly increasing equity pro- duced by these regular payments that overcomes the greater hazard of the second mortgage and the all- effective safeguard that takes sec- ondary financing out of the field of speculation and puts it on the sound foundation of conservative invest- mént. Safety Factor Provided. “The unforeseen is less unforesee- able at close range. In short dura- tion combined with an equity in- creasing every month there is a fac- tor of safety that those who under- value second mortgages have not taken into account.”’ Mr. Beach hazards the assertion that a 25 per cent equity increasing to 50 per cent in three years is as safe—and, if anything, safer—-than a 50 per cent equity continuing for five years. The second mortgage, however, he points out, is not intended for the individual investor who wants a security he can lock in a strong box and forget. That is the place of the first mortgage, for the first mortgage is devised, and should be devised, so as to meet in the fullest measure the requirements and de- Sires of the lender. The second mortgages which from its function must be so devised as to meet in fullest measure the requirements and needs of the borrower, should be held by some one whose business it is to give supervision and atten- tion. “The old way was to handle sec- ond mortgages like first and sell them to individual investors,’’ Mr. Beach points out. “That was wrong. The individual investor, fearing that he had more hazard and knowing that he had more trouble, demanded a large profit. The dealer wanted a profit, too. The borrower paid both—two prof- its—both large. “The new way is second mortgages, but to them. and obtain funds not on mortgages individually placed but on mortgages collectively held. Dou- ble profit is removed. The trans- action is placed on the basis of normal and proper cost.”’ resell retain not to Typical Financing Plan. A typical plan under which sec- ondary financing can be provided on the basis of sound investment is outlined in the article as accom- plished by issuixg ‘collateral notes. The second mortgages are placed in trust. Against them as collateral the notes are sold to banks and in- vestors. Back of these notes is this security: 1. They are the direct obligation of the issuing company whose re- sources and record of earnings are matters of public knowledge. 2. For each $15000,000 of notes there are mortgages totaling $1,- 250,000—-a margin per cent. 3. These mortgages (at the time they are placed in trust) repre- sent, together with the first mort- gages, not more than seventy-five per cent of the conservatively ap- praised value of the mortgaged. 4. This percentage is cut down ‘of the National Surety Co., | York; an outline of developments of twenty-five | by monthly payments so that the average of total loans, instead of being seventy-five per cent, is in fact sixty-five per cent or less. 5. And finally is the important element of safety which resides in diversification and. spread of risk. Instead of one property there are hundreds of properties wnamwate over extensive territory. Many Points Discussed. Under this or other sound meth- ods of handling the secondary mortgage, in its true function of making borrowable for a short pe- riod the maximum amount of mort- gageable equity, applying to the ownership of real property the in- stallment payment plan may ‘be of great economic service not only to the home buyer and to the home builder and the home owner, but also to the purchaser of ineome property, the article points out.

BELGRADE GROWING FAST Belgrade, Aug. 14 (By A. P.) Jugoslavia gradually is taking the place of the old Austria-Hungary in the economic and _. political domain. A wave of prosperity is sweeping through the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Every- body is getting prosperous. Agricul- turally, industrially and financially the country is growing at a phe- nomenal rate. Deposits in the banks have increased four-fold within the last eighteen months. This year’s government budget shows a big surplus. THe crop promises to be one of the best in recent years. Foreign visitors have agreed that of all the Balkan coun- tries, Jugoslavia seems the most promising. Something approach- ing political and social unity seems to have been achieved. The country has been able to fund its debt of $63,850,000 to the United States, and negotiations have been under way for an adjust- ment of its war debts to England and France. Building and recor- struction operations are hoceeding on a tremendous scale. Belgrade’s. population nae in- creased from 90,000 to 25,000.

More than 100 years ago a small white flower, declared to grow only on this island of-the Aleutian group, was found near here. During the last century botanists vainly searched for it. This summer the second specimen was obtained here by Prof. George Haley, of St. Igna- tius college, San Francisco. The bloom was first reported by a Frenchman who accompanted a party known as the.Kotzebue expe-' dition to this island in 1815-19. Five other parties came to hunt for | it and left empty-handed.

It was found that women seldom rn down a chance to fly.

K ON AIRCRAFT - GUN MOUNTS BEING RUSHED FOR ARMY Be : Improved Product Will Given Test at Aberdeen Before Exercises. NEW COVER CATCHES MADE FOR eons USE Special Metal laokets Being Constructed; Experiments Conducted in Powder. Work on new antiaircraft ma- . chine-gun mounts for the army is being pushed rapidly at the Wash- ington navy yard, in order that they may be sent to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and set up for prelim- inary tests before the antiaircraft exercises at that place in September and October. The mounts contain many new features. If they prove successful, they are expected to in- crease the number of hits on aerial targets. Tegts also are being made of the new antiaircraft tripods delivered at Aberdeen for the antiaircraft ex- ercises. These tripods are designed for much greater stability, and they are expected to reduce the disper- sions of calibers .30 and .50 ma- chine-gun fire. During these exer- , cises there also will be used a new 1 %e-meter vertical coincident type range finder. Experimental types of gun-cover catches for Browning aircraft ma- chine guns, calibers .30 and .50, de- signed and manufactured by the ordnance department, recently were forwarded to the air corps for serv- ice for tests. The object of the catch is to hold the cover in raised position so that the pilot by the use of one hand only can inspect the feedway and adjust the ammunition belt. Construct Jackets, A few aircraft machine-gun-bar- rel jackets' made of a special] metal are being manufactured at the bu- reau of standards for the army ord- nance department, in order that they may be put through thorough tests. This metal is noncorrosive, and it is expected to overcome trou- ble now encountered in rusting of barrel jackets. The caliber .22-.45 pisto] recent- ly tested by the ordnance office will be circulated among the using serv- ices in order that they may inspect it.. make firing tests, and submit recommendations for further devel- opment work. Experiments made at Frankford arsenal, Pa., with a new type of caliber .50 ball ammunition that will be cheaper to manufacture have produced satisfactory results. Development will be continued with a view of obtaining the greatest accuracy possible with this type of cartridge, so that the new bullet may be used not only for gun tests, but also to replace the present bul- let containing a soft steel core. Experiments on calibers .30 and .560 tracer ammunition are being continued with a view of improv- ing the functioning. Extra efforts are being made to develop more ei- ficient igniters and a dimmering igniter, so as to reduce the muz- zie flash of the gun, particularly in night firing. Powder Experiments. In connection with experiments on calibers .30 and *.50 primers with a view to improving their ig- nition qualities, arrangements are being made to obtain an experi- mental powder that gives consid- erable difficulty of ignition with the present types of primers. This powder will be used in experiments with new primers, and by the use thereof it is believed that the rel- ative igniting qualities of the new composition may be determined. Experiments are being continued with the waterproofing of calibers .380 and .45 ammunition. The technical committee of Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers institute will visit Frankford arsenal to witness man- ufacture of caliber .30 MI ammu- nition, and to discuss various points with respect to specifica- tions. This committee is composed of representaives of practically all of the leading®*small arms ammu-| nition manufacturers of this coun- | try, who are intensely interested in the circular proposal recently pre- pared at Frankford arsenal, invit- g bids ‘for 17,500,000 rounds of is ammunition.

Changes Announced In Army Air Corps Several changes are about to be made in the personnel of, the office of the chief of the army > air corps at the War Department. Maj. Charles J. Brown, who recently was ordered relieved from duty in the Philippines, will succeed Capt, Ar- thur W. Brook, jr., as budget officer. It is understood that First Lieut. Courtney Whitney, who lately has been on duty in the Philippines, will be directed to relieve First Lieut. Carley P. McDarment fram duty ir the information section of the office. Lieut. McDarment is under orders port from San Francisco, October 8. ‘¥ Nein This program | ,and the air corps is left Northing-!

This five-year pro- gram was recommended by the Lampert committee, the Morrow board, the War Department. and practically everybody else _ inter- ested in aviation. When the bill passed the Senate, the date of be- ginning the new program was changed to July 1, 1927, but the conferees restored the House pro- vision. The bill did not become a law until July 2, and, of course, the army appropriation bill, which was enacted in April, vision for the contemplated pro- gram. The-President did not sub- mit a supplemental ‘estimate for the present fiscal year to cover the cost of the first annual increment, spare parts, The navy was more fortunate in that Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate naval committee, held up final action on the naval appropria- tion bill until the new aviation program for the navy was assured, and then inserted a provision «au- thorizing contracts for $4,100,000 for new construction and procure- ment, this amount being in addi- tion to the regular appropriation of $4,962,500 for the same purpose. In the meantime, in the hope that the required funds will be forth- coming later, are making a comprehensive survey of the cost of all types of planes and their parts, so that orders may be placed as soon as the money is ap- propriated. The act authorizes the Secretary of War to replace obsolete or unserviceable aircraft from time) to time, provided replacement shall not exceed 400 annually. The total number of planes authorized in- cludes those necessary for the train- ing of national guard and organized reserve aviators. The placing into effect of the per- sonnel provisions of the air corps act also will be a perplexing prob- lem. The act authorizes the previ- ous allotment of officers to the air): corps to be increased by 403, dis- tributed in grades from second lieu- tenant to colonel, and the increase in the allotment of enlisted men to a total of 15,000 as rapidly as funds are provided by Congress for re- cruiting, paying, subsisting, clothing, equipping and otherwise maintain- ing enlisted men over and above the total army strength of 118,750, ex- clusive of the Philippine Scouts. The War Department appropriation act for the current fiscal year provides for only the minimum number of 118,750, and thus does not permit increase in the air corps enlisted per- sonnel. #he new law provides that there may be called into active service not to exceed 550 air reserve offi- cers, 90 per cent of whom shall serve for periods of not less than) six months or more than one year, and 10 per cent for periods of not less than one year or more than two years. made no pro- | without | the air corps officials | 260 TO TAKE GOURSE AT INFINTRY SCHOOL Extensive Program Passed by Congress to Enlarge Plans Made to “Meet Army Officers on Arrival at Fort Benning. ‘4 FROM FOREIGN NATIONS ‘“‘togeth- | equipment, | hangars and installations Unusual mittee of five enlisted men to convey them arrange for thei plies. required to tary of the of that town, specting | are suitable. during the next has been find A preparations are being made this year for reception of offi- cers soon to begin the course of in- struction at the new army infantry school at Fort Benning, Ga. com- officers and several formed to meet them at the railway station be- tween August 28 and September 6, to temporary and r term. permanent living quarters, and to baggage and sup- Most of the student officers are accommodations in the adjacent town of Columbus.

A resolution expressing appreciation to the merchants of Washington who provided prizes at the post’s outing at Marshall Hall was adopted. Reports on the outing showed it be a complete success. Each boat carried a capacity load to Mar- shall Hall, making good the pre- diction of Francis C. Huhn, chair- man of the entertainment commit- tee, that the frolic would be the largest ever given by the post. En- tertainment committees under the direction of J. P.

NAVY EXPLAINS DELAY IN MAKING ADVANCES Lack of Fitness Reports Cov- ering Periods of Duty Held to Blame. Inquiries as to reasons for delaye- ing results of the examination of navy officers for promotion fre- quently are received at the Navy Department from officers concerned. These inquiries express wonderment at what appears to be an unusually long time between the date of com- pletion of the examination and the final action of the examining board. It is explained at the department that the delay in most cases is occa- sioned by the absence of fitness re- ports covering some periods of duty. The naval examining board does not feel that it can submit its recom- mendations unless it has before it for consideration reports showing the manner of performance of duty covering the entire period of the officer’s service in the grade’ from which he is to be promoted. It is pointed out that a complete file of fitness reports will aid the examining board in arriving at a decision and will enable it to make a prompt report to an officer's qualifications.

WASHINGTON: SUNDAY. AUGUST 15.. 1926. ————— ee 0 aia Seren Prosantations Ww -(|3 FEATURE -_~——— W ALTZDREAM el OPENS TODAY AT PALACE eee “The Waltz Dream,” a brilliant new continental screen confection produced by UFA, the producers of “The ‘Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” “Passion,” “The Last Laugh” and “Variety,” whieh reveals the gayety of Vienna in a charming and capti- vating successor to “The Merry Widow,’’ will be presented by Metro- Goldwyn-Maycr for the first time in Washington at Loew's Palace theater for the week starting this atfernoon. The famous Oscar Straus oper- etta is the basis for the photoplay version of ‘“‘The Waltz Dream,” which was brought to thee silver- sheet by Ludwig Berger. Although the featured prineci- pals of the UFA production of “The Waltz Dream” are as yet unfamiliar to American audi- ences, it believed that the presenta- tion of “The Waltz Dream” will bring into instantaneous favor such players as Mady Christians, Willy Fritsch and Zenia Desni, just as Pola Negri, Ernest Lubitsch rode into fame on previous UFA productions. Miss Christians has the role of a fair but frigid provincjal Austrian princess who is brought to Vienna by her father to marry a grand duke if possible.

ATTRACTION | In a day when colloquial expres- sion is building up.the language into gne of great diversity of color and meaning, it is only natural to find many slang pbrases serving as titles for popular comedies. ! “‘Applesauce,’’ the Barry Conners | comedy of hilarious line and situa-. tion, which opens tomorrow nigbt. under the direction of (Clifford Brooke, with the National Theater Players presenting it, is one of the? ripping laugh plays much -on the order of “Iz Zat So?” or “Laff That Off!’ It is a clean-cut, gal- loping American comedy of a lad who, because his uncle had taken the trouble to spoil him, just limps through life, ‘‘applesaucing’’ every- body with most astounding success. He finds that ‘‘applesauce’’ man- ages well when things aren't. going well, and the situations of the com- | edy are unique and cleverly man.- | aged. | The popular National Theater | Players promise a corking produc- tion, with John Warner, Rhea Dively, Dorothy Tierney, Percy Winter and the others in roles of importance.

Phyliss Haver, the dashing hlonde, gives a remarkable perform- ance as Alice Atkins, the designing infatuated other woman, who, while making furious love to Adam be- hind Eva’s back, still acts as the sympathetic friend. In addition to these three features of the bill there will be presented a new issue of the specially com- piled Metropolitan World Survey, 'concert overture by the Metropoli- tan Symphony orchestra, Daniel | Breeskin conducting, and an exclu- sive innovation, the Metropolitan | Ramblers, a group of twelve syn- copating artists under the leader- ship of Milton Davis, premier organ- ist, who will supplant the purely ‘organ embellishment of the pictured ‘subjects with symphonic syncopa- tion. “LADDIE” IS THE FEATURE AT RIALTO | The wholesomeness and warmth ‘of spirit, the sweetness without a 'saccharine cloying that is typical of |Gene Stratton-Porter at her best. | has been caught and held with rare 'tact and understanding in ‘‘Laddie,”’ ‘which comes to the Rialto for the week starting today.

Three other big M-G-M hits, however, are just in the August and September schedule offing and the first of these three, Buster Keaton, in_ his hilarious photoplay version of the famous stage success, “Battling Butler,” is announced for presentation at Loew’s Palace next Sunday after- noon, August 22. The frozen-faced Buster will ap- pear in this comedy knockout in regulation ring attire, except” for the fact that he insists on wearing his inevitable round-brim = sailor hat, while the gay and captivat- ing Sally O’Neill, of ‘‘Mike’’ fame, will be his chief comedy second.

Leader Tommy Thomp- son is an expert exponent of pep in the form of torrid rhythms and| wailing blues. Vaudeville and dance music ‘are combined in an always entertaining ratio by the upper pavilion band, led by the favorite Ben Levine. One of the most popular entertainers in the Capital for several years, Levine has infrenched himself as an ex- tremely clever orchestra director, with the knack of showmanship added to his musical talents. —_—_-- —— -— GREAT FALLS THE IDEAL IDEAL PICNIC PARK Amusements, Outdoor Sports, Dancing—Wed., Thurs., Sat.

Glen Echo park makes an ideal picnic ground, as there are plenty of benches, &c., in shady spots, and refreshments are nearby.

MISS SWEET COMES BACK It's a long story but one that Hollywood never tires of telling— the story of the ‘“comeback’’ of Blanche Sweet, who offers one of her greatest enactments in Marshall Neilan’s production of ‘‘Diplomacy,”’ at the Columbia this week. Back in the old Biograph days. when D. W. Griffith was nothing but a name on the pay roll and Blanche was merely known as “that Biograph blonde,’’ she contributed, nder Griffith’s direction, a series of enactments that tossed her up on the crest of the movie wave at a time when the industry was just coming into:its first bloom of pros- perity. Then, quite suddenly, Blanche Sweet dropped out of sight. Once in a while, some one would address an inquiry to the fan magazines, asking about ‘Blanche, but they were always told that Blanche had retired. The truth of the matter was that Blanche was ill, and not only ill and discouraged. to recover one’s popularity in the films after a drop-out of nearly three years, but when Blanche re- she doggedly went back into the arena to bid for covered her health, headline honors.

Daley’s “‘Broadway Brevities” which makes its premiere here prior to a tour on the Columbia Circuit. ‘‘Broadway Brevities’’ is said to be elaborately staged in two big acts with twenty scenes and a score of musical numbers. The cast is headed by Mike Sacks, a Hebrew comedian of the latter day school, who is ably assisted by an eccentric comic, Jack Kenny. Ethael Alber- tini, a beautiful Italian prima donna, Inez Marvin, a _ sprightly Floridian, and Syd Burke, are some of the names of the artists en- trusted with the songs and dances. The chorus will be typically “‘Daley.”’ The scenery and cos- tuming all have been arranged un- der skilled eyes and three rollick- ing hours of pure entertainment can be positively guaranteed. The Gayety theater has been thorough- ly renovated, repainted and _ re- decorated for the coming. season, and is now in first-class condition to open next Saturday. Manager La Motte has appointed Martin, theater from one of the Columbia Amusement Co.’s theaters in New York city; assisting Mr. Martin as assistant treasurer will be Kenneth Hosmer, formerly connected wéth the Shubert-Belasco theater here.

Do they like to laugh or do they like to cry? Is the “thriller’? more engrossing than a sweet, story? | In short, just what does the motion picture public want? This is the question that has had producers tearing their hair (figuratively speaking) for years and as yet there is no criterion by which to judge. The result is that an attempt is made to get a smile and a tear, as well as a few thrills into each picture produced. Incidentally, according to Dr. Edwin Larson, great eye specialist and the discoverer of a remedy for the dreaded ‘‘Kleig eyes’’ caused by the lighting systems in use on the lots, says that the day of the glycerine ‘tear is past.._ He asserts that the people must have real tears when the heroine is cast out by angry husband or father or when the hero gets.a message that the old homestead is sold, and says that most of the stars acquire their tears through the medium of music. Difficulties arise when two stars asked to weep at the same moment, for the music that affects one fails often to draw the tears from the eyes of the other. old-fashioned love the success attained by and other foreign pictures The Palace is showing ‘‘The Waltz Dream.’’ another U. F. A. picture, today and several other foreign films are on the way including “*‘Michael Strogoff’’ to be released as a Universal special. In the meantime various stars and directors are being imported and the result should be a still better grade of pictures, for the foreign competition will surely not be allowed to go unchallenged by American directors and stars, who will endeavor to turn out better films than the foreigners can produce. The struggle should prove in- teresting. American producers are following up “Passion,” “The Last Laugh,” ‘Variety’ which have scored in this country. Manager Larry Beatus, of the Palace, is offering a prize to the first news-reel man who will produce pictorial proof that this is to be the “vear without a summer.” Mr. Beatus wants to show the film on the Palace screen, but he says that to date the nearest thing to the lack of summer weather is the cooling plant at the Palace. He could be trusted to mention that, of course. Colleen Moore faced a camera for the first time in the new First National studios ‘at Burbank, Calif., when her starring picture, ‘‘Twinkle- toes,’ was started this week under the direction of Charles Brabin. John McCormick is producing the picture, which is an adaptation by Winifred Dunn of one of Thomas Burke's ‘‘Limehouse Nights” stories. Scott Sidney, who has just completed the cutting of his latest comedy | special, ‘“‘The Nervous Wreck,’’ is scheduled to direct Al Christie's next feature comedy, “No Control,’’ which goes into production, according to present plans. in about a month. Paul J. Weatherwax has been engaged by Producer E. M. Asher to cut “Svyncopating Sue,’’ Corinne Griffith’s newest starring comedy vehicle, | production of which will be completed under Richard Wallace's direc- tion within the next few days. The recent announcement by John McCormick, general manager of West coast production for First Nationel, to the effect that Milton Sills would start on a big production in a few days aroused much interest and now that the cameras have actually started to click on ‘‘Men of the Dawn,"’ indications are that this will be one of the best things Sills has had to do. Anna Q. Nilsson has left Hollywood for a quick visit to her old home in Sweden. JANET FULL OF REAL ‘PEP Concentrated vivacity, essence of pep, the personification of breezy April youth-——the English language fails when it-comes to describing the sparkle and_ fascfnation of Janet of France, who rings to B. F. Keith’s theater th’s week, all the charm and lure and loveliness of her own Paris. Janet is a Parisienn sprightly little self is prodf enough of that. She has that verve, that “je ne sais quoi,’”’ that quite inex- plicable something which is in- herent in the daughters of the city of infinite allurement—Paris. Janet made her debut as a chorus girl in the famous Follies Bergere at the Olympic theater of Paris. She has played in Ger- many, Austria, Belgium, Turkey and Egypt. In Paris, the mecca American millionaire, little Janet gleaned the idea that the United States was a place of extraordinary opportunity and unending wealth, which a pretty little actress might gather with ease and efficiency. In 1914 she decided to visit the land of millionaires, amass a fortune, : her own for the and diamonds died a dismal death at the dock of the port of New York. In the face of disillusion and discouragement, she accepted her disappointment philosophically and went to work with the Vita- graph Co. After eighteen months in pic- tures, she made her debut in vaude- ville at Keith’s Proctor theater in New York, and has won recognition as one of the most versatile, most attractive headliners on the circuit. and return home in a month or so. | But her dream of millionaires " L. BARRYMORE AT CENTRAL Lionel Barrymore will be the pic- tured star in a screen version of John Goodwin’s play ‘Brooding Eyes,’’ which will be seen at Cran- dall’s Central theater the first two days of: next week.

A juvenile comedy ‘Raisin’ Cain,’’ and a new hodge-podge will complete the well-balanced bill for the last day of the week. Larry Buys Car. Lawrence Beatus, manager of Loew’s Palace theater, has joined the ranks of the motoring frater- nity, having purchased a new Hupp Six during the past week. For the next few months, the mortality among lampposts ‘on upper Six- teenth street is expected to be heavy, and Harry M. Crandall, who lives near Mr. Beatus, is said to be contemplating raising the height of his garden wall until the intricacies of the machine have been mastered.

Mayo, of Quartermasters’ Corps Sets Tailors’ Record A remarkable record for tailors of the army quartermaster corps is announced by the War Department. Since adoption of the roll collar coat the corps has been revising specifications for master patterns for the eighteen sizes of coats and breeches kept in stock for issue, and of 800 uniforms recently made from the new master patterns, and issued, 400 were found perfect fits for the men. War Department officials say that civilian clothing manufacturers find it necessary to manufacture from 34 to 45 sizes of ordinary ready- to-wear clothing, most of which re- quires alterations to fit each purchaser. Crown Prince Lauds Rendition of Anthem The rendition of the Swedish national anthem by the band of the Thirty-eighth infantry at Fort Douglas, Utah, was the best heard in this country by Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden, ac- cording to a War Department an- nouncement yesterday. The crown prince and crown princess while visiting in Salt Lake City, attended a review at the fort. The royal pair complimented‘ the playing of the band and said its rendition of their national anthem was the best they had heard in America. Shows Temperature.

O stop a man from having - ‘chills is a simple matter. Quinine will do that. Twenty grains a day for three days will be enough in most cases, though 30 grains a day is more certain. There is no great difference between the dizziness and other discomforts caused by the two doses. The larger dose is as safe as the smaller. It is not a matter of great im- portance as to the period of giving quinine, Some people take the day’s allowance at one dose. Some wake it three doses — taking one with each meal. Some take the last dose more than eight hours before a chill is expected. There is a little advantage in taking the quinine al- lowance at least eight hours before the chill is expected, but it is not great. There is some advantage in tak- ing quinine in solution, or in fresh- ly made capsules mixed with a lit- tle capsicum, but it is not great. If it seems best to give a tasteless form of quinine for any reason, that is all right, provided the daily dose of the alkaloid be increased, say, 10 per cent. Tasteless quinine is generally some form of tannate of quinine, and that drug is a little less powerful than other forms of the drug. After a profuse sweat or a saline purge, quinine will absorb rapidly from the digestive tract. But vio- lent purgation and “stirring of the liver’’ generally interferes with ab- sorption. - $o much for breaking the chills. Curing the disease is a different proposition. he man who is still malarial, though he is not having chills, is in a worse fix than the man who is having chills. He is capable of in- fecting others. He is all set for jrepeated attacks of chills. He is all set for pneumonia, hematnria, or some other frequently fata] com- plication of malaria. He may be on the way to chronic invalidism. He is incapable and sick without hav- ing the excuse for idleness that he had when he was chilling. The Bass, or standard treatment, for the cure of malaria is ten grains of quinine daily for eight weeks. ‘The difficulty about that treatment is in persuading people to stick to the job.

' : ees ai eth TO USE BRUSH _IN MOUNTAINS @ his brush is Edgar Nye, who has been busy in his Brookland stu- dio until a week ago, when he de- parted for the White mountains for the remainder of the season. Something of the aspect of the rural art colonies of France is sug- gested in the studio of Edgar Nye, one of Washington's foremost arft- ists, and a member of most of its art associations. It stands far be- yond the sight and sound of street traffic and the artist has been able to annex stffficient ground around his home to create about himself something of the atmosphere of the garden studio of the Ojd World. The immediate and the remoter surroundings of this atelier have become familiar to many Washing- ton students, as a fair proportion of its more serious aspirants re- ceived their first real knowledge Of art from Mr. Nye, and their sub- jects have been the rural bits of scenery which can still be found in the neighborhood. Mr. Nye’s work is represented in two current local exhibitions. His painting of the Washington monu- ment hangs in the show of the X-Painters at the Corcoran gallery, and.at the Arts club’s summer exhi- bition of the work of its members his two canvases occupy the posi- tions of honor. One is a striking view of the monastery at Brook- land; the other a brilliant New Hampshire landscape, with Mount Washington in the distance. NE of the last artists to leave Artist Is Washingtonian. Mr. Nye is a Washington man, and much of his American work centers around the American Capi- tal. He has, however, lived abroad long enough to have imbibed some im- | is landscapes in oil and | individ- | re- | a | of the ideas of the foreign masters. *. | He spent over ten years in England. is | He attached himself for a time to centering | the picturesque coast town | the group of. artists around of St. Ives, Cornwall. He passed BRAVE HEAT OF SUMMER ‘For some reason or other the voices of summer poets are seldom as effective as those heard in the dawning of the year. Therefore, it has come to be almost an unwrit- ten law with publishers not to bring out many volumes of verse during the summer months, but to reserve these new outpourings of poesy for the fall. Now and then a publisher is brave enough to defy tradition in this regard and such is the case of Harold Vinal, New York. from whose busy presses have come three books of verse this month. In workmanship these volumes are most attractive, and ‘‘Scara- baeus,’’ by Elizabeth Shaw Mont- gomery, contains many lines which will have more than an ephemereal existence. There is a restraint of passionate feeling in several of the poems which is an indication ofthe high art of the poet. The technique is generally good and the rhymes are true and rhymes are used which is is a relief in itself from the vers libre of the moment. However, there are signs in the heavens that vers libre is making its exit from the poetic stage, much to the bene- fit of poesy, thereby. Brevity is another distinguish- ing feature of Miss Montgomery's work. Only one is more than three pages in length and this does not compare in beauty with the shorter poems. An exquisite runs thus: FOR MEMORY. Once betrayed by memory I bear the scars of pain; Once I climbed to Calvary, But not again. two-stanza poem I have a guerdon for my pain, I hold a thornless flower; Bitterness will knock in vain Against this hour. two years at Oxford, and then joined | ‘the Plymouth colony .and that royal borough purchased 'one of his canvases for its art gal- lery. In England his paintings of | that period were compared favor- ably with those of Sir Alfred East, R. A., perhaps the most noted Eng- ‘lish landscape painter of the last | 25 years. Later, in France, where he spent some time, Mr. Nye became imbued with the spirit of the school of im- pressionism, of which Claude Monet ‘and Pizzaro are leading examples. ' But Mr. Nye refuses to stand still, ihe feels that stoppage means'stagna- tion. and he has gone on to join 'that school known as_ the _ post- impressionists, of which Paul , Cezanne is the. Jeader, and of which | Picasso and Derain are prominent |exponents.

Still another volume from the publishing house of Harold Vinal, New York. is ‘‘A Jewelled Screen,”’ by Ann Hamilton. Here the lyric note is struck again and again with all its sweet echoes in the soul of mankind. Miss Hamilton is no tyro in the field of poetry. A number of poems had received previous pub- lication in responsible journals, both here and abroad. The title poem, “A Jewelled | Screen,”’ wins immediate favor upon opening the attractively-bound lit- tle book. There is a whimsicality about it which is refreshing and quaint. ° A JEWELLED SCREEN.

A familiar bit of the Canal’ ‘road glowed pleasantly from one of ‘his canvases, and a study of rocks at the Great Falls was an interest- ing grouping in massed form. Ice, ible mention at the last show of the Society of Washington Artists, is a fine example of color and form built up into a beautiful design. Study of Ellicott City. Possibly the mos: striking pic- ture in Mr. Nye’'s studio today is his painting entitled “Ellicott City.”’ This is perhaps his most successful canvas in the modern manner of building up form into an organiza- tion and design. with the elimina- tion of all unnecessary detail. It is an extremely interesting subject, masterfully ‘worked out and thrill- ing in its emotional appeal. An- other, a bit of the harbor at Balti- more, showing water, boats and a background of high, stark ware- houses, is a remarkable achieve- ment. Mr. Nye ofttimes returns to a more representative style, painting directly from nature, but always his canvases are simply and beauti- fully ‘handled. He has made a num- ber of studies in and around Fred- erick, Md., and in southern Penn- sylvania. A charming example in this style is a landscape, full of color, showing a corner of the quaint old village of Middletown, near Frederick, and another is a brilliantly sunlit Pennsylvania land- scape, with a village in the fore- ground, fields and hills behind. Studies farther afield shown at the Brookland studio include a beautiful picture of fog on the coast of Maine, where a ‘hill rises steeply from the sea, its sharp outlines softened by veils of mist. Other studies of Monhegan island, where this was done, show a fish ware- house and fisherman's cottage among the sand and rocks at the water’s edge, with boats lying on the beach and in the sea; also a scene wherein softly undulating fields and little hills run gently down to the sea. The White mountains, where Mr. Nye has lately gone to paint, is represented today in his studio by some charming studies of the New Hampshire hills and the in- tervale. Mount Washington ap- pears in several studies which are delightfully simple in treatment and design and strong and vigor- ous in effect. Edgar Nye’s work is that of a progressive artist, and like all pro- gressives, his work is not at once appreciated by the uninitiated. But he has many followers here and Rock | Creek church yielded a vivid study! in color, and a canvas, ‘‘Boats in | on which he received honora- | I shall keep a black slave Hidden in the wall Waiting to admit you When vou come to e¢all. And if you displease me So that I am bored. I will have him kill you With a gold sword. Perhaps there might be some dis- pute on the part of poetical purists as to the rhyming affinities of ‘‘bored’’ and ‘“‘sword.”’ Yet what poet ever touched the hearts of the people who was too much the slave of the absolute rhyme? Glancing over the productions of some of the major poets, frequently we come upon strange rhymes and even stranger rhythms. After all. there is such a thing as poetic license, and why should not the poets of today have a share in it as well as those of yesterday. The poetic narrative is presented in. ‘‘Wild Ginger,’’ by Marion Ethel Hamilton. (Harold Vinal, New York. ) This is a still more difficult form of poetic expression and Miss Ham- ilton has handled it well. She pre- sents the glamor of the tropics and the battle of primitive instincts with the white man’s taboo in a graphic and soul-stirring manner. However, when judgment is given on this book it is but to say that prose would have been the more adequate mode of expression of the story Miss Hamilton has told and that she should reserve her poetic gifts for more appropriate themes. cg.

By Godwin Walsh (G. P. Putnam ‘Sons, New York). } | On the theory that sound never | dies, Hugh Carstairs, a_ brilliant bag: electrical engineer, invented a delicate tube for use in connec- | tion ‘with the radio to catch the sound waves which had died away |to the -ordinary listener weeks }and years before. Around this invention and the desire of others to procure it or to use it, centers a series of exciting and mysterious events, including the secret of the murder of wealthy Innis Grammaton. This is an up-to-date mystery novel, for not only will it interest the radio fans but the persons who believe the story that one of the archduchesses of Russia escaped when the Russian royal family were put to death. A Russian ad- miral and a beautiful young girl Russian patriot believe that on the yacht The Royalist, on which young Carstairs finds himself a prisoner, a discussion of the fate of the royal princess took place and they encourage young Carstair to use his tube. Like the other stolen from his laboratory, the tube is destroyed. Suspicion as to the murder of Crammation points to many people, but the young inventor caused the dead man’s voice to ring across the intervening weeks and with it comes the self-accusing voice of the mur- derer. Of course, there has to be romance and this provided by the fair-haired daughter of the radio promoter, who was accused of the murder and the Russian lady who gives up her dreams of service to her nation to become the wife of the young American electrical en- gineer. 9§th Thousand 17 days after publication John Galsworthy’s The Silver Spoon ~ Scribners $2.00 everywhere 7 A Little Ad of a Big School NATIONAL SCHOOL ART FINE AND APPLIED ‘Color, Interior Decoration, Costume Design, Commercial Drawing.

(G. P. Putnam Sons, New York.) Edited by Austin H. MacCormick and Paul W: Gar- rett. The increased; interest in the and the desire of many citizens who wish to inform themselves as to the merits and lack of merit of these systems has created a de- mand for a book containing ac- curate information as to how the police, the courts and the prisons are functioning. The book will without doubt dis- pel many current misconceptions. It will give the public as well as the student of penology, a sound basis for intelligent judgment. Various phases of the prison are | explained in special sections. The | book gives a clear idea of the liv- ‘ing conditions, methoé@s of | cipline, industries, populations and | cost of operation now prevailing in |our prisons. The reports of the various prisons ave been arranged in such man- ner that comparison is facilitated. One of the most interesting sec- | tions is that in which the factors of the comparative failure of our | prisons and suggesting methods for /making them more effective for the protection of society, are discussed. | BOOK NOTES | } | It is amazing to notice how quickly a recent invention can be- come part of our accepted civiliza- ition and how easily it slips un- /noticed into everyday conversation. | The radio, for example, is really / very new, yet its mention arouses ,no comment except perhaps a bored |sigh from some peace-loving citizen. | It has now invaded the field of | literature and early in the fall Putnams will publish a novel en- | titled “The Voice of the Murderer,” | by Wilder Goodwin and Richard | Walsh, the plot of which is entirely , | | | | | Sis | | fully PRESENT-DAY CHRISTIANITY IS OUTLINED In the fourth volume of “The Outline of Christianity; Christianity and Modern Thought” (Bethlehem Publishers, New York-——Dodd, Mead & Co., distributors) group of notable editors have striven to an- swer the triple the hour: ‘‘Does Christianity provide us with a tolerable explanation of the riddle of existence; as a way of life does us toward A question of it guide social justice and happiness and as a ba- of does it draw gether in amity the nations races of mankind?”’ Naturally since the Scopes trial at Dayton the public mind has been directed to the seeming conflict be tween religion and _= science.

By VYLLA POE WILSON. Hic women forced to remain in T Washington for part or all of the summer, either to direct Women's organizations or the work of government bureaus and divi- sions, run by women in the inter-— ests of women, ‘are putting in their | leisure time seeing Washington and its vicinity. They are not passing their time in idle envy of those more fortunate in having lengthy vacations ~out of the heated city, because right ‘here in the National Capital is a wealth of interesting things to see. One woman executive, who been to Mount Vernon time time again with conventions and organizations, went alone one day recently and really saw the beau- ties of the historic mansion and the grounds, and came away with a notebook filled with sketches and impressions a hurried visit never could have provided for her. This woman and others like her browse about in the old parts of Washington and love to visualize the belles and beaux of other days, who lived and reigned inethe old houses along the waterfront. then the most desirable part of Wash- ington. The history of many build- ings here are truly fascinating, if one only takes the trouble to look it up. Since so to drive own has and many women know how and the majority of them cars, it is not surprising: that the roads to historic spots should be crowded with eager sightseers. who pay their personal taxes here. In this way women leaders take the opportunity to get real color for the many speeches they will have to make this winter, and, in- cidentally, inform themselves as well. to Some Never See a There are S.

The mecca for many motorists now is the great Shenandoah Na- tional park which is to run through not only the most beautiful part of Virginia and other States with all the scenic grandeur of the Blue Ridge mountains, but the historic part as well. That the United States is acting wisely in placing a new playground for the people in the East and near the Capital City Is demonstrated by the increased num- bers of people who have chosen mo- tor trips through that region this summer, even before the govern- ment begun its deyelopment. university “done” Club Women Support Project. The club Maryland and women of Washington, Virginia have given their heartfelt and earnest support to this project and any advanced by the government and private agen- cies to preserve for the people the natural beauties of the ‘Temple Hiils,”’ rocks and dellis of their coun- trv and provide able facilities and comforts for them to enjoy. Mrs. L. B.

Many types of gas burners which were applied to self-contained auto- | matic storage heaters a few years | ago, certainly did not prove suc- | burning out ot the tank bottom, | giving rise to the thought that the self-conained heater was not a suc- cess, because in order to make hot | Water with any degree of rapidity | it was generally necessary to place | the burner so high that the body of ne flame played steadily against he tank bottom, or in where spreader or heating element was | ed in the hottom the. tank, | ainst its bottom. with the result | at liming more readily occurred, i the tife of the tank bottom wus ‘Liened.

And many of those who con- demned such heaters five years ago are either making such heaters to- day or getting reudy to make them. because in most instances they are convinced that such condemnation of storage heaters has been proven unjust.

O. Reubel, Jjr., who lives on the Moffat road. It might be hazarded that this tub is the first, and was for many years the only bathtub in Mobile. When Don Miguel Eslava, public storekeeper for the, Bourbon, King Charles III of Spain, and collector of customs and treasurer for Mo- bile, settled down there in 1789, he imported it from Spain. Furnish- ings included a marble bathtub that was said to have been a personal rift from King Charles. Eslava’s | imposing domicile was established on Royal street and with household possessions,’ passed in turn. to Emanuel, Monroe and Eslava streets. Tub Used by Three Generations. The marble tub, along with other household possessions, passed in turn to three generations of the Eslava family, and then into the Girard family, with whom the Es- lavas had intermarried. Just what disposition the various owners made of the tub is not known. Probably it was regarded as an encumbrance rather than a convenience because that was be-J fore the era of plumbing. It is not surprising that Mr. Reubel came across the marble tub doing duty as a horse trough in the yard of one of the Girard descendants. Mr. Reubel had no difficulty in persuading the possessors to retin- quish their heirloom. He had con- siderable more difficulty in moving the tub to his residence on Moffat road. The tub, carved from a solid block of marble, weighs more than a ton. Consequently, it was neces- sary to reinforce the bathroom floor. -The tub is 73 inches long, 299 inches wide and 29 inches deep. Its marble sides are 15g of an inch in thickness. The marble Italian, bearing a network of dark blue veins. is Modern Plumbing Used. Although it is considerably more 100. years old, the tub points ployed modern plumbing methods. The supply and waste pipes are at- tached to the bottom of the tub. In America, only the very latest bathtubs receive water from. the bottom. The only disadvantage Mr, Reu- bel sees in the tub is that it re- quires so many gallons to fill it, and that its weight imposes so severe a strain on the floor. He hopes some day to move it into his vard and use it as a base for a fountain.

BOOTLEG PLUMBING NOTED IN INDUSTRY Septic Tanks Are Called For to Destroy Whisky Odors in the Sewers. Federal agents recently held up a truck in New Jersey and found a stock of “‘bootleg’’ whisky in a sep- tic tank. That’s a new use for sep- tic tanks but not the only time ‘“bootleggers”’ wanted a septic tank to use in their business. A plumber recently received an order to install a septic tank to destroy whisky odors as the neighbors objected ‘to the alcohol odors from an open sewer, The connection of ideas between bootlegging and plumbing is re- mindful of the fact that there are such things as “bof-:leg’”’ plumbing. Nearly every business, profession and trade have men in it who are unscrupulous, ignorant and greedy and have no regard for the welfare of their victims. Plumbing is no exception .to the rule. Plumbing is closely related to health and the plumber should be selected as carefully as the family physician. A reliablé nvaster plumb- er can and will advise his customers what to buy, economically, to best protect health and insure perma- nent service. He will not try to “get by’ with ‘“‘cheap work.’”’ which always proves to be the most expen- sive in the end.

MUCH DIFFERENT IN a S The town of Winchester in Eng- land dates at least to Roman times. It stands beside the River Itchen, a small stream fed by many brooks. These brooks flow through the town under” covered ways. Open- ings appear here and there, and through these openings the boys of the town drop their fishlines. The fish they catch are trout, a species which of all fish will endure pollu- tion the least. , In the much younger United States there are probably not a dozen communities which have been as concerned about stream pollu- tion as this cathedral town, the his- |tory of which goes back to the time [when nothing was known of sani- | tary science. , | One of our largest States is said } j 'to have less than three unspoiled ‘streams. ‘These are small and re- ‘mote. The rule in America has |been to get rid of wastes as quickly ‘and conveniently as possible, care- less as to the consequences. Great rivers are often not mugh more than |gigantic sewers. Some rivers carry (a vast Ioad of factory by-products. 'The second largest city in the coun- |try changed the direction of a small ‘river from north to south in order to save its source of drinking water ‘from utter contamination. But in ‘so doing it sent a flood of noisome ‘waters down the length of its State.

Yet a liuge amount of work lies before American cities before they will have restored to cleanliness, rivers and lakes and creeks which never should have been polluted to begin with. The English town of Win- chester shows that a community does not have to use its running brooks as a means for the disposal of wastes. FIRST’ WATER HEATER USED 2,000 YEARS AGO Romans Had a Crude Kettle, With Handle to Swing At Over Fire. The first water heater known dates back some 2,000 years. This was the “ahenum” of the Romans, a crude bronze kettle with a handle for swinging over an open fire. The “foculus,” an apparently later de- vice, was a metal container into which hot stones were put to heat the water surrounding them. This seems to have been the best water heater the early Romans were able to devise. During the Elizabethan age in tngland the people were notorious- ly unwashed. Perhaps it was be- cause the teakettle was their only source of hot water supply. In 1809, when gas for fuel and light became a public utility, the desire and need for hot water be- came easier to fill. With the devel- opment of the gas stove, hot water began to flow more freely. In more recent years gas burning water heaters of many types and de- signs were perfected. Nowadays ,any home can have a complete, self- contained, automatic gas water heater, furnishing hot water for ev- ery need, night or day, at a cost of only a few cents for 2 hours of service. ‘A LOT MEANS A LOT in readily appraising value when, through listing as,a home site in the most quickly resultful classified ad ecolumns in Washington.

Appliances to be welcome. ) great a 7 F HN CULINARY REALM Now Available Make Kitchen Clean- liness Possible. ee ee OVENS DO NOT HEAT tail OF USER “How Cost of Deeration Can Be Cut Down by Study of mer uC TONS. By SUSAN ELLEN DODGE. Old and established as the serv- ice of electricity is nowadays, some of my friends and neighbors still are inquisitive concerning my use of the electric range and fireless cooker, and also the small table ap- Pliances such as the grill or table $Btove, as some call it, the toaster, waffle iron, fercolator and water kettle. These appliances really spell per- fection in cooking equipment. They first of all represent the cleanest cookery yet discovered, which, in this era of white kitchens, ought In my own in- stance the electric range has saved me many washings of walls and ceilings in the kitchen and of cur- tains and other equipment upon which the soot and steam grease can sottle. Most of my néighbors cook by gas which, when it was first intro- duced for cooking purposes, was as step forward in cooking equipment as is electricity over all previous methods of cookery. Nat- urally we compare notes for they are all very much interested in my electrical experiences. Don't “Scrap’’ Old Range. Why don't my example? Fach has her own reasons, of course, but most of them cannot see the need for scrapping their old ranges. This is rarely necessary when the range is in good condition, and while one may have to sell it at less than its cost, it has given vears of service, and the cost of the pew range will soon be justified in the tremendous amount of work it eliminates. Kitchen cleanliness is really one of its advantages. It is cooler, par- ticularly when the oven is in use. The oven of the electric range is almost hermetically sealed. Very little heat is permitted to escape. In fact, I have a thermometer about 4 feet awav from the range and on the hottest days I have taken the temperature of the kitchen before starting to heat the oven for cooking the dinner and also after the oven had been heat- ing for two or more hours. The difference in every case has been from 1 to 3 degrees. This construction also makes it possible to cook an entire dinner within the oven. That is, boil all the vegetables, roast, simmer or pot the meat, and steam or bake a pud- ding, and at a cost no greater than that for cooking one food. these women follow Automatic Thermostats. Many of the ranges are equipped with automatic oven thermostats which make one’s presence in’ the kitchen unnecessary while the food is cooking. You can put your food in the oven in the morning and set the time for the thermostat to switch on the heat, or the cooking can be started before you leave the house and the thermostat set to cut . There off the current when the food is cooked. And the oven retains its heat and keeps the food warm until you come home to serve it. The cost of cooking electrically, which seems to concern many -peo- ple, I have found quite reasonable at the rate of 9 cents a kilowatt hour in our town. Everything de- pends on how the electricity is used. are tremendous economies that one can effect by close study of the instruction book that accom- panies the range and by using com- mon sense. The electric heat is slower starting than any other kind, but also it is slower in diminishing. You can easily cut off the current on the heating top several minutes before removing the food from the unit. In the Instance of the oven, the heat may be cut off from 10 to 20 minutes before the food is re- moved. Besides, there is always the econ- omy of your own energy, of money epent for painting, and of the cost of replacing often-washed curtains and the like. These are deducted | by electricity from the cost of eook- ing.

The Electric league, with the co- operation of the Potomac Electric Power Co., held a meeting for the purposé of clearing up in every- body’s mind any questions concern- ing the new rules and regulations of the power company. Many electrical people not at this time members of the league were present at the meeting and had an opportunity of seeing the coopera- tive work which is being done by the electrical industry through the Electric league. L. T. Souders, president of the league, presided. One of the most modern groups of stores in Washington is being erected on Connecticut avenue and Dupont Circle. In this group there will be 325 window lights, each with a 100-watt lamp. Duplex con- venience outlets are in-use exten- sively throughout. J.J. Moebs Co. are the owners of the building. The electrical installation is being made, and was laid out by John C. Hard- ing, 720 Twelfth street. northwest, member of the Electric league. F. B. Dillon, member of the Elec- tric league, representing the Po- tomac Electric Appliance Co., has been absent for the last ten days be- cause of illness. The National Electrical Supply Co., under the guidance of one of its oldest employes, William F. Goodrich, held its annual outipg at Morgantown, Md., yesterday. It was a great party and many electrical people beside the National Electric ‘‘family’’ were present. Electric League Briefs. By N. H. BARNES, Assistant Secretar MARTINET WILL DIRECT EMERSON VESPER HOUR Announcement Is. Made by Ralph Edmunds, Manager of WRC Program. Samuel Adams Chase, special rep- resentative of the Westinghouse company, will address the. Electric league at its meeting September 9. Two new members have been for- mally registered on the rolls of the Electric: league of Washington. They are H. M. Sager, 37 H street northwest, and C. M. James, River- dale, Md. These two new members are both now a part of the non- union contractors’ group of the league, of which L. L. Hayes is chairman. FEATURES FOR TONIGHT Eugene Martinet, Baltimore bary- tone, has been made director of the Emerson Vesper Four, heard each Sunday evening over Station WRC through the courtesy of the Emer- son Drug Co., of Baltimore, accord- ing to announcement made by Ralph Edmunds, WRC. program manager. For several weeks Mr. Martinet, with Albert Newcomb, tenor, has been appearing before the micro- phone during this hour in a series of solos and duets, accompanied by the Emerson Vesper Hour orchestra. The program begins each Sunday at 8:45 p. m. Mr. Martinet will assume dicta- torship tonight when, with Mr. Newcomb and Louise Schuchhardt, Baltimore soprano, a varied pro- gram will be offered. The new executive has appeared in grand opera with several large companies, and was founder and director of the National Civie Op- era company. Mr. Martinet was a member of the original company of “Blossom Time.’’ He also was in the cast of “The Sw eetheart Shop,’ and ‘Battling Butler.’ He ap- peared in vaudeville with Mme. Fritzi Scheff. At present he is di- rector of the choir of Northmin- Ster Presbyterian church, and a teacher of voice. - The following program has been announced for tonight: The nonunion contractors group of the league held a meeting in formal style lately and had a big attendance of its members. This is one of the most active of all of the seven groups of the league. It fs represented on the executive com- mittee by Edward R. Bateman and Ralph P. Gibson. _L. T. Souder, in the capacity of committee arranging for a show in conjunction with the real estate board exhibition, reports that one of the most elaborate and complete displays at this affair to be held in the Washington auditorium will be the electrical. G. P. Mangan, chairman of the house electric subcommittee of the business promotion committee, re- ports that he has severa] houses to suggest to be displayed as model electrical homes this fall. The idea is to have a house displayed that will sell for about $10,000. C. P. Hill, chairman of the ad- vertising committee, working in connection with the busines promo- tion committee, will have a sug- gested folder ready to submit to the full committee at its next meeting. This informative folder will include information of value to everybody interested in electrically equipped homes. “RADIO PROGRAMS Miss Louise Schuchhardt——‘ ‘Calm as the Night’?

PLANS 50-KILOWATT SENDING EQUIPMENT Crosley Corporation Places Order With Westinghouse for Powerful Plant. Cincinnati, Aug. 14.— Powell Crosley, jr., president of the Cros- ley Radio Corporation, has placed an order for the first 50-kilowatt broadcasting equipment which Western Electric will manufacture for afew concerns. This is the first order placed and bears out the pre- diction made by Crosley at the Hoover radio conference a few years ago, that broadcasting stations must increase their power and equipment to a abreast of the broadcasting ar This new transmitter will cost, with the new special fire-proof building to be erected near the pres- ent WLW transmitting station near Harrison, Ohio, about $250,000. ‘It has always been my firm con- vietion that the radio industry was founded upon sound principles and would progress, not only in the man- ufacturing field but in the art of radio broadcasting,’’ Crosley said after placing the order for the new equipment. Radio Men to Banquet. Maj. J. Andrew White, pioneer broadcaster and announcer of ex- ceptional events, will again be heard on the air September 15, when he will act as master of cere- monies for the third annual radio industries banquet to be held at the Hotel Astor in New York city. More than twenty broadcasting sta- tions will participate. SUNDAY. AUGUST 15, 1926. ee na ee tn ee et a WIRELESS MAN PREDICTS RADIO EYES 1N DECKDE Arnott Expects: to Be Able to See U. S. and Europe in Crossing Atlantic. HE CALLS IT “TELEVISION” “Radio eyes” are only a decade off, in the opinion of K. L. Aller- dyce Arnott, of London, British wireless authority, who sailed for Europe yesterday. “IT expect to see what is going on in Europe and America as I cross the Atlantic ten years hence,”’ he stated. ‘Television is close at hand.” ee Mr. Arnott will be the first man to test a new type of radio re- ceiver just out-of the research lab- oratory. He will use it in mid- ocean, using an eight-tube set, en- tirely encased in solid copper and steel shielding, an electrical cage built under the supervision of Jo- sept D. R. Freed, American radio engineer and president of the Freed-Eisemann Radio Corporation. The entire line of Freed-Eise- mann radio sets will be stocked and distributed by the Doubleday- Hill Blectric Co. Phillips C. Hill, president, returned recently from the factory. A wide price range, $60 to $650, is scheduled for the sets, several models of which are now on display. A “B” and ‘‘C’”’ power unit, with battery cable wir- ing, operating with a double wave rectifier tube and voltage regula- tor tube, is recommended for use with the sets. A full floating-cone loud speaker, improved armature system, reproduces low and high frequencies in a new design, pro- tected by Freed-Eisemann patents pending. All of the larger models, licensed under the Latour patenta, include a built-in or compartment loud speaker. PO COSTS LESS WHEN USED MORE! ERY often you hear the comment: “Fine things these electric ranges and refrigerators—but I’ve heard the cost of running them is high.”’ Many people HEAR a great deal! Fewer have the op- portunity to really SEE things in their right light. It must be admitted that electric refrigerators and ranges do USE much more current than other appliances. BUT with that readiness to make every electric device available to everyone—which distinguishes Pepco’s service—the rate on current is LOWERED for use in operating these ap- pliances ! The cost of current used to operate an electric refrigerator or range is lowered to LESS THAN ONE-HALF the regular rate— three-sevenths to be exact! While it costs 7c per Kilowatt Hour for ordinary home current consumption—light and smaller ap- pliances—a special meter is installed for you at small cost with every. electric range or refrigerator. Your rate for them is accordingly lowered—the efficiency of your household materially highered by their installation. Based on a nation-wide survey by The National Electric Light Association on the AVERAGE current consumption costs of electrical appliances: $22.50 Per Year Runs the average Electric Refrigerator at Washington’s low rates. $41.25 Per Year Operates an Electric Range for the average family at Pepco's eco- nomical rates.

AUGUST 15. 1926. ———-S AUTOMOTIVE NEWS AND GOSSIP FAN RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF THE PEDESTRIAN — SMIALL-CAR NEEDS NN LOW-PAICE FIELD CFEN BY CHRYSLER Larger, Roomier Machine of American Type Believed Demand of Public. EUROPEAN STYLE AUTO CRITICIZED BY MAKER Increasing Curiosity Among People Interested in the Company’s Plans. Walter P. Chrysler, commenting | on what have been termed “the de- ficiencies in the small car field,’ declares unreservedly that better American type cars are necessary in that field. “Roomier, more com- fortable, smoother cars of longer life, with less vibration, are of para- moust importance,’’ he insists. His | statement, in part, is: “The American public has always been satisfied with the prices in the small car field, but today is obviously and decidedly dissatisfied with what it receives for that price. ‘‘l believe it has been demonstra- ted conclusively that the American people are not interested in the so- called ‘bug,’ or what someone has erroneously termed ‘European type’ car. Several manufacturers have endeavored, each time unsuccess- fully, to capitalize on a tendency on the part of the public to flock to anything which carries a tang of novelty, even if that novelty is unequal to what we already have. The so-called Furopean car, every- one knows, sacrifices the far great- er virtues of smoothness, power, hill climbing ability, durability, riding comfort and even appearance to achieve that little tin diety, high gasoline mileage. Car Desired in America. ‘“‘Motor car conditions abroad are entirely different from what they are here. The tremendous suc- cess of the American car in the ex- port market is only overwhelming proof of its superiority. “What this organization feels the public wants in a small car is not a cheaper, smaller automobile than it now has, but a bigger, better, roomier, easier riding and longer lived car for the same money it has been paving. Modern space eee Two healthy, heavy men are supporting their entire weight on the doors of the new Essex coach. The doors of this car are not only rigidly supported by new type posts but by a new type hinge as well. LOGKS DECLARED BEST TO PREVENT CAR THEFT Motor Vehicles Stolen in Year Nearly 250,000; Value $218,000,000. UNLOCKING IS CHIEF EVIL Nearly 250,000 motor vehicles, of an approximate value of $215,- 000,000, were stolen in the United States during 1925, as revealed by an investigation made by the re- search division of the American Automobile association. Assuming that 80 per cent of these were re- covered, the déad loss to motor- ists was $35,000,000 for the vehi- cles alone. All statistics on the subject clearly point to the fact, they state, that any locked car, if the lock has merit, is immune from theft. The finest lock imaginable is of no avail, however, unless it is used. Figurés collected by the underwriters’ conference and other national agencies show that about 85 per cent of cars equipped with approved locking devices are habitually left unlocked when parked. The coincidental lock, which automatically locks the car when the ignition is switched off, has been evolved to take advantage of the fact that most drivers turn off the ignition and remove the key when leaving a car unattended. Some of the requirements of a lock are that it should be conven- iently, easily and positively oper- ated both in the light and in thé dark under all climatic conditions. A key should not be required or locking should be coincidental with removal of the switch key. There should be slight chance of accidental locking while the car is in motion, it should not prevent quick stopping of the engine while the car is in motion. If it is very awimilar to the ordinary ignition switch it should not simultaneously lock any control element of the car when the ignition current is broken. It should allow coasting with the ignition off, although this is not good driving practice. It should permit the car to be moved in a garage or in case of a fire when parked on the street with the key removed, should lock the car 80 as to prevent towing, should permit the transmission to be left in en- gagement or the front wheels to be cramped against the curb when the car is parked on a grade, and the entire lock méchanism should be simple, rugged, easy to install and of low cost. Various types of locks have been produced that lock the transmis- sion, steering system, ignition sys- tem, fuel supply. intake or exhaust valves, or the clutch and brake pedals. STUDEBAKER HISTORY WRITTEN BY PIONEER Contrast of Transportation speed Demonstrated by the Automobile. RECORD “SHERIFF” MADE Seventy-thrée years ago, this month, John Mohler Studebaker reined up his horses before a group of Californians, rose from the seat of his “covéréd wagon’’ and an- nounced to the curious throng which had gathered to meet him, that he had just completed the trip from Indiana in five months. Eye- brows were lifted in surprise and the crowd pressed closer to inspect more carefully the vehicle which had stood up undér the gruelling punishment of such a trip in such a short time. Although history does not record the details of the conversation of the moment, it is probable that the driver explained his feat by “That’s nothing—for a Stude- 1926, Ab Jenkins, Salt Lake City business man, step- ped on the brakes of his Studebaker “Sheriff’’ and came to a stop be- fore a wildly cheering crowd at the Western Union main office in San Francisco. Eighty-six hours and 20 minutes from New York to San Francisco. More than six hours clipped from the time of the fastest transconti- nental train. Jenkins slid out from behind the wheel, smiled and re- marked, ‘‘That's nothing—for a Studebaker.”’ And just as the miners of the stirring days of '49 pressed forward to inspect and examine.the Stude- baker prairie schooner in 1853. so did the crowd of 1926 Californians mill around the modern example of Studebaker’s contribution to traas- portation. Seventy years’ evolu- tion in transportation brings vas! changes to modes of travel, but in- terest in a winner never dies. Although separated by more than seventy years of time and almost in conceivable variance in speed, the two trips across the continent have much in common. John Mohler Studebaker braved the long months of travel over unknown territory. risked the attack of Indians and plunged his stanch wagon into fords, over unbridged rivers dnd almost impassable mountains. Ab Jenkins drove through weather ccn- ditions characterized most of the distance as the worst in two genera- tions by weather bureau officials. He was forced to travel practicaily the entire distance between New York and Cheyenne in a héavyv downpour of rain. In some places roads became literally a sea of mud, But Jenkins and his Studebaker ‘forced constantly ahead toward the | goal of their achievement. engineering and better chassis en- gineering can give the public that car.”’ There is an among people interested cars, which about, embraces whole public, in the details of the new Chrysler four cylinder car which is shortly to be announced. While Mr. Chrysler has acknowl- edged that such a car is on the way, there has been no intimation from official sources as to will be its chief characteristics. *Full-sized’’ Car Planned. Word comes from increasing curiosity Detroit, how- ever, that the formal announcement | the new! will stress the fact that Chrysler is a ‘‘full-sized car.’ This is taken to mean that exceptionally large passenger room in a car of its| class will be a leading feature, As the same engineers who de-| signed the Chrysler ‘‘70’’, ‘‘60”’ and Imperial ‘80°’ designed the new car, it is taken for granted that it will. embody marked mechanical improvements. It is understood that the ear will sell in the lower price range and will activély compete for a full share of that large market. what | ‘STOCK SITUATION TOLD TIRE BUYING INGRERSE the | i | Miller Company ' $ees Big Sales Ahead for Trade. tires will be made within the last of the Miller Rubber Co. ing tire prices lower than ulus to buying,” he said. and without the _ hesitancy the demand for increased’ greatly, | Although | has PREDICTED BY MAKER in motor, Manager Akron, Ohio, Aug.*14.—-Sixty per cent of the total 1926 purchases of five months of the vear, according to W. F. Pfeiffer, general manager “The July price decrease, bring- July, 1925, prices, has proved a big stim- ‘“‘Consum- ers who awaited lower prices earlier in the year are now buying freely that characterized the first six months.”’ tires dealers’ stocks are 25 per cent lower than they were a year ago, according to surveys. "Many dealers will not be able to meet customers’ needs un- less stocks are filled at once, and in some cases actual shortage of tires will be experienced, it is be- lieved. Greatest demand for tires is in the low-pressuré, or balloon, field. Production of balloon tires the first half of 1926 was 50 per cent great- er than for a corresponding period 'in 1925, while a decrease of 20 per cent in high-pressure types was noted. Approximately 30,000,000 tires were produced the first half | of this year. “Our own factory is working 24 hours a day, every day except Sun- days, and we are attempting to increase production,’’ Mr. Pfeiffer declared. ‘‘The outlook is probably the brightest in the history of the tire industry.”’ Higher crude rubber prices in the third quarter of 1926. due to the British rubber restriction act, were missed by a fraction of a cent. Had the average price the second quar- ter been slightly lower, éxportation of crude rubber to this country would automatically have been re- , stricted, bringing accompanying | higher prices.

Such a difference in the| indicated power as compared with | the realized power has never befote been shown in the light-car field in this country.

Innovations in the four-cylinder | motor as buiit for light cars, and shown in the Overland Whippet, in- ciude such features as extra long cylinder walls.to keep the pistons from sliding below the lower edge of the walls at the bottom of the down stroke, the use of full bond bearings which eliminate the use of shims, extra heavy construction in the crank shaft and in the cam shaft, four-point suspension in the motor and equally distinctive ele- ments of design in other parts. Also in Willys-Knight. The same excess of developed power over rated power is brought about by European principles in the “70"’ Willys-Knight Six Seventy, a car which develops its full 53 horse- power from motor’ dimensions which are usually associated with considerably less power than this. It presents the best achievements in modern engineg@ying as worked out for the Knight sleeve-valve mo- tor. The Overland Six and the Willys- Knight Great Six show equivalent advantages in engineering through the use of modern engineering. In actual results, so far as owners are concerned, greater mileage to the gallon of fuel, greater acceleration, faster speed over the road, longer life to the motor parts, are the dis- tinguishing features of modern en- gineering.

All Proved Out By Trial. None of the features of design which are included in the modern- izing of motor car construction are untried. They have all been proved in the hardest kind of usage. The high developed horsepower | in relation to the rated power has been proved in the racing cars which, with 91.5 cubic inches of piston displacement, have achieved speeds in excess of 130 miles an hour. It has’ been proved in the tiny Italian motor which turns over at 7,000 revolutions per minute and develops enormous power at this speed. It is demonstrated every day in the English cars which, with a rated power of from 8 horsepower to 15 horsepower, show a developed power of from 16 horsepower to 30 horsepower. The entire trend among motor car manufacturers is along the lines of modern engineering. .A study of the cars which are popular today indicates modern engineering to a certain degree. The products of Willys-Overland, which have been completely designed along the lines of modern engineering, constitute the first complete line of thoroughly modernized cars yet to be produced | in this country. ~—— ss GRAHAM BROTHERS - MAKE SALES MARK) Builders Report the Delivery | tio» © of More Than 1,000 Trucks in Month.

HUPP GIVES EVERY MOTORIST CHANGE TO TRY NEW EIGHT “Demonstration Fortnight’ Is Planned in Which Public May Go for Drive. SPECIAL. PERFORMANCE OF TESTS IS ARRANGED No Obligation to Buy Empha- sized by Motor-Car Corporation. Those who are concerned in try- ing everything new in automobiles will be interested in the recent an- mouncement of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation that it is conducting a “demonstration fortnight,’’ during which time the public is invited to visit Hupmobile showrooms to see the new straight eight and go out for a drive. Appointments may be arranged with salesmen. Special | emphasis is placed on the ‘without obligation to buy” feature, accord- ing to the Hupp men. * For those -who do not wish to 'drive themselves, but desire sales- men to chauffeur for them, a series ‘of novel , -stunts’”’ have been ar- ranged, which show the surprising flexibility and performance of the straight eight motor. Cars will be started without the usual starter | pedal, low curbs mounted in high | gear with the motor scarcely ré@- volving. With the speedometer masked the occupant will be asked to guess the speed. These and other performance tests have been ar- ranged to make the demonstration ride more than ordinarily enter- taining. Body Features Perfected. “There are several important chassis and body features which we have perfected in this eight which were never found on a car in this price class, and we are desirous of informing the motorist of what he can expect from his investment,”’’ says O. C. Hutchinson, general sales manager, Who is supervising the “fortnight’’ from the factory. “The Hupmobile straight eight introduced last year led the way to- ward a reduction of prices in the We have, through our experience of the last nineteen years, and our study of present day motor demands, designed a motor that brings for the first time the highest quality performance down to the price limit of the medium car buyer. It is the shortest and most compact eight in line motor ever built. The uncanny quietness of the motor, its breathless pick-up, hill-climbing ability and unusual gasoline and oil economy have mer- ited this car world-wide popularity. Valves Quiet and Efficient. “The valve mechanism, devised after the latest aeronautic practice, is positively quiet and efficient at all speeds. The connecting rods and crankcase are of aluminum, an ex- ‘pensive material giving the needed strength without adding unneces- sary weight; light cast gray iron pistons designed by Hupmobile are hand-fitted to each cylinder within .0005 inch variation, and the 100- pound crankshaft with patented vi- bration damper are features which are not found on any car in this price class. “This gives us something to boast about,’’ continued Mr. Hutchinson. ‘‘And that is the principal reason why we are broadcosting our invi- tations to drive this eight, whether they have just purchased a car or if for other reasons they do not in- tend to buy in the near future or if they merely desire to know what is what in the latest improved au- tomobile. At any rate we are going to have every car available \going every hour of the day to show peo- ple not only what value they can obtain in a Hupmobile, but what to expect if they purchase another car at a higher or slightly lower price.”’ BLACK AUTO ENAMEL STUDIED BY EXPERTS Tests of Engineers Basis for Standard Laboratory Requirement. Tests of black baking enamels used as finish on automobile bodies, hoods and fenders are being con- ducted by nine automobile com- panies under standard conditions prepared by the Society of Automo- tive Engineers. different grades of enamel have been furnished to the society by enamel manufacturers, who are now exposing a total of 243 test panels ‘enameled with the material. The purpose of these tests is to determine the possibility of formu- lating standard laboratory. tests that will give in much less time re- sults that are comparable’ with those obtained by the usual meth- od of exposing test panels out of doors to the sun, rain, snow and ex- treme changes of temperature. Eventually these tests should result in increasing the durability of black ‘ enamels and greater preservation of |! their high luster. NEW METAL PRODUCES IMPROVED AUTO VALVE Hollow-Head Construction Is Declared Impervious to Extreme Heat. * A new valve, declared by its man- ufacturers' to be immune to heat, warping, burning or pitting, be- cause of its unique hollow-head construction, is announced by the James Motor Valve Co. of Detroit. In addition to the _ self-cooling feature brought about by the effi- ciency of design, this new valve is made from what is declared to be a remarkably efficient and new met- al; known as ni-chro-loy. This"metal possesses the rare qualities of not pitting, burning or scaling, even at extreme heats. The new product, called the James self-cooling valve, was first broaght into the experimental stage five years ago. First actual road experiments were begun in 1923. Since then continuous testing, in which more than 2,000 cars have been used, has been conducted. The resources of both France and America were called into use to produce it. America contrib- uted the design, consfruction, man- ufacture and actual road test facili- ties, and France the machinery for witnessing visibly in the laboratory actual action of the new chromal metal under intense heats ranging above 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Makers of this new valve point out that the present day cast iron valve scales at about 1,500 degrees Fahr- enheit, warps at about the same figure, and actually melts at 1,750 degrees. The valve temperature attained by high grade cars when operated at 40 miles an hour is ap- proximately 1,500 degrees, the point of scaling. speeds above that figure makes the valves in even the best operating | ‘cars susceptible to | burning. The new valve, which is immune from oxidization, as well as scal- Samples of three | ing or pitting, will not warp or melt below 3,000 degrees, they point out—a heat impossible to ob- tain from present engine construc- tion. Tests of the new valve, they say, have proved that it accumulates less carbon in 25,000 miles than standard valves after 5,000. One test car has already traveled 62.- 000 miles on one set without the necessity of having its valves ground. The owner of this car, of six-cylinder manufacture, estimates that the valves have saved him $76 over that distance in replacement ‘and valve grinding savings alone. A spectacular test recently con- | ‘ducted by the manufacturers of | this new product consisted of tak-— — ing an engine block and driving, it by. means of belts connected to the . factory lineshaft. The camshaft wag .. driven at the equivalent car spee@ = © of 200 miles an hour. To produc@- — the tremendons heat normally pret ent at this speed, two acetylene; blow torches were trained on ig = valves from either end of the 6m gine. The cast iron head valves, because of the intense heat and} stress, shattered after a few se@ce-: onds of operation. High alloy steel’ forging valves burned out in 7 miin- utes. At the end of 45 minutes the camshaft gave out, unable longer to stand up. Inspection of the James valves, according. to laboratory ex- amination, showed them apparently unaffected by the severe test. Further advantages claimed for the new product include: ‘ ee Quieter tappet operation, as the tappets may be set at least .002 inch closer. Greater engine efficiency, as they keep the combustion up to maxi- mum without power loss. : Greater engine lubrication effi- ciency. (One test car was driven 32,000 miles without a change of oil. When drained, the oil was shown to have lost only 5 per cent of its lubricating efficiency and to be wholly without dilution. ) The James Co. will manufacturé and market the new valve through merging the Gas Engine Valve Co. into its own organization. Through the merger, George D. Grant, former head of the Gas Engine Co., will be added to the board. Carlyle H. Long, engineer of the Gas’ En- gine Co., joins Mr. Grant in the James organization as sales engi- neer. RUBBER STANDARDS | Operation § at warping or | SOUGHT BY AUTO MEN - Motor-Car Builders Give Their Support to Uniform Specifications. : More than two dozen prominent- automobile manufacturing compa- 'nies have expressed themselves in favor of the establishment of. standard specifications for rubber.- products in response to inquiries made by the standards division of the Society of Automotive Engi- neers. Such specifications would relate particularly to the life, or durability, of vulcanized rubber compounds as used in floor mats, weather stripping, window chan- nels, tubing, bumpers, &c. Considerable attention to the de- sirability of tests for the establish- ment of such specifications has also been given by the American Society for Testing Materials, and if they are undertaken it is likely that the. two societies will cooperate in the. investigation and the drawing up of specifications. z. preceding five A Bicycle Is Transportation If all-one is buying is transportation, why not buy a bicycle?

Despite its trim lines, this Hup- mobile provides extra room in the driving compartment, extra room in the front of the really comfortable auxiliary seats and extra leg room for rear-seat occupants when the extra seats are in use. An attractive feature to better the seating ar- rangement is that the back of the front seat curves inward to provide even more leg room for those using the two extra seats, with opening under front seats for more foot room. Two color options are offered, one the popular Larchmount blue or a beautiful Biscay green. Upper body is in black with double gold strip- ing on belt and hood louvers; the beading is also black. The interior is very handsomely trimmed and includes all necessary appointments. Mohair upholstery in. color which fittingly harmonizes with body is standard.

WASHINGTON SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1926. $$ P| ot : = i AAA RA TP Meri Me anne SDR MOBO A AMET RR i! HN itt! TE jutnit ied iibsitnii sii i ; iti tHE in Talk of Moving Center Market Re- calls Time When It Was Nucleus of Business Section of the Capital By JOHN J. DALY. HERE is talk now of moving the Center market. To make way for the new internal rev- enue building, the farmers’ produce market will even- tually be forced out of its present position—B, Little B, Tenth and Twelfth streets northwest. When the farmers’ produce market gets under way toward a new home this will mark the first great move in the construction program outlined by the park commission at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1901 there was formulated a project for beautify- ing that part of the Nation’s Capital lying south of Pennsylvania avenue— from the White House to the Capitol. Just where the farmers’ produce mar- ket will be set up, after leaving its old bartering place, no one knows—at pres- ent; but it may some day be placed at a point north and east of the Union sta- tion, or back of the Eckington yards; north of Florida avenue. Railroad men recently consulted with a committee appointed by the National Capital park and planning commission. They told the commissioners that some- where out in the Northeast is the ideal spot for a market. In all Washington there is no site more closely associated with the history of the city and the lives of its inhabi- tants than the old market grounds— west of Seventh street to Ninth and Tenth, and Eleventh and Twelfth, and south of the Avenue to the National museum. For a century and a quarter—its opening day was December 15, 1801— the Center market has been doing busi- ness at the same old stand. During the first 100 years, which are always the hardest, the Center market and its vic- inity was really the heart of Washing- ton. Until business and pleasure and all the other component phrases and parts of life in a great city began to move north and west, the juncture at Seventh and Pennsylvania avenue was the main stem in this man’s town; the Big Drag. N later years, traffic shifted some- what; Ninth and the Avenue came into its own, then Ninth and F streets, and then several others; so that the old market was left down there among the sycamore trees, somewhat neglected; but still doing business. In all its 125 years of life there has been but one big moment in its career when the high and low of Washington could not get necessaries of life from its stalls —that was in 1840, when the original ae was completely destroyed by ire. There is no city in the United States that has a market comparable to the Center market. It stands as one of the finest food distributing centers in the world. Presidents of the United States have been among its customers. Mer- chants there have waited upon digni- ‘taries of all lands—men who fell into ‘ Genera view of the the Washington custom of doing their own marketing “at the big market.” Washington Topham, who undoubt- edly knows more about the Center mar- ket and its history than any other man in) Washington, declares that this insti- tution is the oldest business organiza- tion in the Nation’s Capital, from the point of continuous service. Mr. Top- ham spent two years doing research work that finally resulted in a brochure, “The Center Market and Its Vicinity,” one of the most valuable documents in the archives of the Columbia Historical soviety. “Washingtonia is my hobby,” says Mr, Topham. He was born in Washing- ton on Washington’s birthday, 1860, at the moment of the unveiling of the Washington statue in Washington cir- cle and was, therefore, immediately called Washington by his proud parents. “A history of Center market is really a history of Washington city,’ he de- clares, 7 = + * T is not generally known that George Washington himself had something to do with selecting the site for the Center market. Two days before he left the Presidency, on March 2, 1797, the first President of the United States ap- propriated some seventeen parcels of groand to be used in the city for gov- ernment purposes; of these, parcel 7 was designated as “The Center Market” site, The site of Center market ccontained two acres of land. It was part of the tract known as Beall’s levels. The first survey was made for Ninian Beall in 1703. In 1769 it was resur- veyed for James Buxtes, whose eldest son, David, later obtained a patent for the tract; a farsn tht in 1792 was granted to the cosnmissioners in laying off the Federal City— Center market was not the first mar- ket established in the city of Washing- ton, There had been a market erected in Georgetown in 179%. This was lo- cated on the south side of what was then called Bridge stxeet~now M—and just east of Thirty-third. With the price of xa] estate what it is today in Washington, it is interest- img to note that the two acres upon which were set the original Center mar- ket brought as much as $123, when the farm sale was cOmpleted. Land in that section of the cityat that time was worth about $66.50 an acre—and this was to be the big business district. To- day, in the heart of thé business sec- tion, land values Conse as high as. $650 a square foot; which gives some idea of what a century and a quarter mean in city development. It would take a flak of cool millions to buy an acre of land anywhere south of the suburbs, at today’s prices. L’Enfant, who designed the city of Washington, had two pet aversions, aciording to Washington Topham. These were cemeteries and market places. In his original plan he did make provision for three rmarkets; but they wee fe _ | ¥ ‘ . Tt inside of the market. would have been in out of the way places had the city fathers taken his advice. He would have had two such centers, for perishable foods, “along the shore of the Eastern branch, at high- water mark, and another on the Po- cape at the foot of Twenty-first street est.” Entrance to Center Market. O prove Mr. Topham’s contention that a history of the Center market and a history of the city of Wash- ington are almost identical, the clear- ance of Pennsylvania avenue from for- estry and the erection of the first mar- ket buildings down at the junction of Seventh and the Avenue took place about the same time. When the government officials ar- rived in Washington in 1800, Pennsy]l- vania avenue was a mud puddle, if not worse. What sidewalks it possessed ‘ All‘ photes by Hugh Miller, Post Staff Photographer. *., be ee: Shy. i « allied Sa tes OV Lee ot an How Center market looked when it was first constructed. Once the market got started, pretty nearly everything else came in its wake. For instance, the first circulating -li- brary got under way in Hugh Somer- ville’s liquor and grocery store, near the market. Mr. Topham dug out the old original advertisement from the files of the Intelligencer, one of Wash- ington’s first newspapers, an ad that informed the lit’ry folks of this great event. From. sOmMmewhere overseas Hugh Somerville had received a large and excellent shipment of novels, his- tory books, romances, voyages, travels, etc., all of which he would lend out to the reading public by the week, the month, the quarter, or the year, at his store and: residence “in a frame bwild- ing, south side of Pennsylvania ave- nue, near the hotel bridge.’’. Oh, yes; they had erected a bridge across the Tiber at Seventh and the Avenue. It just had to be done. Since there must have been too much reading in Somerville’s, a notice ap- peared somewhat later that “as the li- brary somewhat interfered with his ‘other business’ it is now removed to the house of John D. Brashiers, be- tween the President’s and the Market Model showcases are used at the various market stands. were made from chips of stone left over from building the Capitol. Tiber creek was then in its pristine glory. It continued for many years to be a source of trouble to Washington- ians, overflowed its banks at regular and stated intervals,‘ and cut all sorts of didoes down around the original mar- ket place. Too, it afforded a sort of duck shooting rendezvous for the boys of that —many of whom sold wild gente to the market men—“shot out- rs and sold naiie." ms a . ah ae ©.) he 7 House * * * on the south side of Penn- sylvania avenue, and the rise near the bend or the set-off in the paved part of said Avenue.” — - = . HURSDAYS and Saturdays were the great periods for marketing at what came to be known as the Marsh market; probably because of the nat- ural marshy land surrounding it. For many years this appellation was asso- s © ae ciated with the Center market, Some- : a ge Paes we Be al — _ ' Pe RL iii iif itr] tie times, too, they called it “Mash mar- ket.” : In his “Early Recollections of Wash- ington,” Christian Hines, writing in 1866, stated that down by the Center market there was “a _ considerable swamp, overgrown with bushes, briars, and thorns,” and that “whén the tides fell, a large number of catfish would be let in the puddles and the boys would often catch and carry them home, Sometimes wild ducks would come up there to feed. At times, when the tides were high, fish would come up the little stream as high as E street, espe- cially the smaller kind, such as perch, smelt, eels, etc.” Of course, it-is generally known that, Pennsylvania avenue more than once” has been a river bed; but its first great bathing took place in Thomas Jeffer- son’s first term, in the summer of 1802, when the Certer market was only a year old. Then Tiber creek went on a rampage and inundated everything along Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to Seventh street and west. Naturally,. with a market and all the buildings that came with it, the city had to have a fire department. The mayor of the city, Robert Brent, was authorized by an act approved January 10, 1803, to procure “one substantial fire engine to be kept near the Center market.” The fire-fighters eventually got under way and fought flames and smoke under the name of “Persever- ance.” ) Samuel Harrison Smith, editor of the first real newspaper here, in order to keep in touch with the affairs of the city, moved his plant down near the Center market. So that this was the actual beginning of newspaper row— and the origin of local market reports. In fact, everything centered at Sev- enth and g’ennsylvania avenue. Philip Mauro’s. auction rooms—where Saks’ now stands—came to be celebrated. Book auctions were popular. There was also ‘the stage office, where tickets might be purchased for journeys to Georgetown and Baltimore. 7 The first headquarters of the police department were established in the scale house at Center market; one hun- dred and one years ago. It was not really until about 1840 that the first police organization of the District was actually formed. It was called the Auxiliary guard, its headquarters the old Central guard house which faced on Eighth street. In 1861 this organi- zation was replaced by the Metropoli- tan police. a * - *” HE first circus grounds in Washing- ton were down by the Center mar- ket, the first performance on any lot being held on March 30, 1830. Of course, that sort of thing couldn’t go on forever, so in later years the “greatest shows on earth” had to find parking space for their big tops down on Sixth street, where the old Pennsylvania rail- road station once stood. Eventually, they came to other vantage points—out toward Bladensburg road, and the pres- ent sites—Florida avenue, and Fif- teenth and H streets. There was great activity going on in a building way about this time, and ten years later, in 1840, the town was startlédd by the announcement that ground was being broken for what was to be “‘the largest and handsomest store on Pennsylvania avenue.” Darius Cla- gett was then erecting a skyscraper, 25 by 75 feet at the northeast corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue, now Parker-Bridget’s. The business center of Washington, according to observation made by the editor of the Intelligencer, a man who should have known, was from Johy Marshall place to Eighth street; Darious Clagett was going one square out of the zone—a pioneer headed for the west. The boys of the Perseverance engine company No. 1 had grown prosperous with the city and moved to Eighth street and Pennsylvania avenue, where a handsome engine house served as quite a community center. It had a new bell in 1840 that was the marvel of the city—and up to the late fifties and early sixties, or just before the civil war, this was regarded as a sort of cur- few. It was rung at 9 o’clock each eve- ning as a warning to children and the colored race to get under cover.. That the boys of Perseverance engine company appreciated art is attested by the fact that they housed an oil paint- ing—and this was exhibited in a promi- nent place over the president’s chair. It was a picture of a mother rescuing hr child from an eagle. There might have been one showing a fireman rescuing a child from a burning building, but his. torians are vague on this point. 2 Night Jife began to flourish about priated money with which to erect so . \e - id ¥ “ > f Bes this time, and in 1842 Congress ape. j Doevide ofl for tos lighting nt Chain provide oil for the of w | then known as “the Great tion e . 4 Ae 5 ae ee (COMTINUBD ON PAGE 1, COLUMN42 ae By, ot or dan Dt RM dno a. xt - + Ss ill he ue Lies iS a : t : Be os % bal 4 ni a ep * ‘ : ys + oe a is

Some might think it is hot, Phil- bert, but keeping up with the public prints as I do, Philbert, and familiariz- ing myself with the latest discoveries in science, Philbert, enables me to know the inside stuff.”’ “We could not do without the news- papers,” admitted Philbert: “My dear,” said Hazel, ‘as soon as | read that this was to be the year with- out a summer I stopped the ice, Phil- bert, and I’ve already saved enough to But for , this, Philbert, I would havé wasted a f lot of money. 4 © ; ‘ | 2 t :.

The . rush to Miami around the first of Au-: gust was unprecedented, Philbert, and the First National Bank of Hoko Poko, which was about to close its doors, Phil- bert, was saved at the last minute by the influx of tourists escaping from the rigors of the northern climate. I was thrilled to tears when I read how all this came’ about.” “Explain it to me, please,” said Phil- bert. “My Senator sent me a newspaper clipping, Philbert, which I had some- how overlooked, and it had all the facts right down to a dot.” * ” o 7 ‘WHERE would we be if -the news- papers didn’t keep us constantly infotmed,” said Philbert admiringly. “T’]] sav!

So the reporter bought another palmleaf fan, Philbert, and went out to the address that had been given to him, and when he got there, Philbert, a gentleman wearing earmuffs and fur gloves, and dressed in a heavy Mackinaw was clearing the snow off his front walk. The reporter politely asked, ‘Is this Prof. Beeswax P. McGinnis, inventor of the year with- out asummer?’ Pulling a few icicles off his frozen mustache Prof. McGinnis ad- mitted his identity, Philbert, and said to the reporter, he said, ‘if vou will come in,’ he said, ‘and take a seat by the fire,’ A PS Saaangma HAs sag! anti, \iinaenmdiniostet isn’ nine unecosastanta marisa ty MMR At a, hh BA AAA AU ta a GG Af Agi ; : f uf i" ry i ; ' 7 rs Be 488 : ; UH db | - ‘aiid ests ss Paes ea art East inkl geass Stes! oh ; } Ss Ang QD» MP Z Ik! pee gyn gaa allied Mt nett ii TAA hi te ay know is just what I read in the iL papers.

So the reporter hud- dled over the cheerful'blaze in the par- lor grate, Philbert, and after while the distinguished scientist came in and gave him an interview, and after reading that, Philbert, it was as clear as mud to anybody -why there weré so many accidents in August, Philbert, of peopie slipping up on the ice, Philbert, and breaking their collar-bones, Philbert.”’ i * * - “TT's remarkable,” interrupted Phil- bert, “how Prof. McGinnis could have predicted that this was going to be a year without a summer. It was hot in June,” “My dear,” said Hazel, “I see you don’t understand the full perfection of the modern system. The remarkable thing about it, Philbert, is that he pre- dicted it in 1917.” “You surprise me, Miss Hazel,” said Philbert. ‘‘Explain it to me, please.” “Take today’s mail, f’rinstance,”’ said Hazel. “The Vice President of the Corntassel National Bank, of Sioux City, Iowa, writes in as follows: ‘I am saving up to take my family on a vaca- tion in 1928. Please inform me where I can find the best climatic conditions in that year. Shall I lease a Floral Stables bungalow or a Labrador igloo ?.” “That’s foresight,” said Philbert ad- miringly. “T’ll say! Well, my dear, Prof. Mc- Ginais consults his charts and crystal ball, and turns the water on in his bath- tub and carefully notes the temperature of it and writes that down, and after he has received the Iowa banker’s meta- bolism rate, and the barometric pres- sure on the first Sunday in that month, he works out the calculations by algebra and sends the answer by telegraph: ‘There will be heavy frosts in 1928,’ he says, ‘in the Ku Klux States,’ he says, ‘South of the Mason and Dixon line,’ he says, ‘and Al] Smith,’ he says, ‘will get his ears frost bitten,’ he says, ‘on or about the Fourth of July,’ he says, ‘and Billy McAdoo,’ he says, ‘will go for a Hi tpi, MUM eit Mun A a te ct uu ate eT “ i Cambridge are not turning out to dig coal. So just from a kind of an out- sider’s point of view it looks to me like the Mining Industry is about the only one that they can’t replace except with Miners. So if the Miners hold out-] don’t see how they can help but win. There is only one way to break a strike and that is to put somebody to work where the man that is striking left. But they are doing nothing to re. place the strikers at all. Well, it is hurting a lot of different businesses over here and they are losing a lot of Coal trade other Countries are grab. bing off that they will never get back even when the strike is settled. But there is one thing about English- men, they won’t fix anything till it’s just about totally ruined. You couldn’t get the English to fix anythipg at the ' start. No, they like to sit and watch it grow worse. If nothing was grow- ing worse they wouldn’t have anything to debate and argue about. Ther) when it just looks like the whole thing’ has gone up salt creek why the English jump in and rescue it. They seem to figure that the whole expense of it makes it worth digging out of the fire in the finish. But, Lord, England is in Alfalfa up to their knees in comparison to France! Yesterday another bunch of Prime Ministers and their gangs got the gate. You talk about looking for Comedy in Government. Why France is just like getting a laugh on prohibition; there is no credit to it it’s soeasy.

So the Smithsonian, Philbert, is going to send two scientists to Africa to measure a sunbeam every day for four years, and in two years time, Philbert, there may be sufficient data to enable the long-distance prog- nosticators of the Smithsonian to pre- dict whether the West will be swept in 1928 by a cyclone or a Massachusetts blizzard, Philbert. Science has already discovered, Philbert, that the hotter the sun is in lowa the cooler it is. There is nothing that makes frozen assets in an Iowa bank like a warm wave and a drought. Study of the solar radiation and the ¢rop statistics of Iowa has al- ready enabled science to prove, Philbert, that the corn belt has a brain storm every cleven years. This will be of in- estimable value to enable Senator Butler and Frank Stearns, as soon as those scientists have measured a few sunbeams in Africa, to get a line on the temperature in 1928.” “IT may be wrong, Hazel,” said Phil- bert, “but my guess is that those Smith- sonian experts won’t hold their jobs very long when the President finds out that they’re going to measure only one sunbeam a day, Hazel. My guess is, Hazel, that they'll be fired for loafing on the job. Where’s the Coolidge economy in that, Hazel ?”’ “My dear, 1 hadn’t thought of that,” replied Hazel. “I guess you are right, as usual, Philbert. And what do you suppose will happen, Philbert, when Mc- Car! finds out about these birds meas- uring one sunbeam per diem? Mark my words, Philbert, McCarl will make them measure two sunbeams per diem, Phil- bert, or else he will dock their pay. Me- Carl won’t stand for any such laziness and extravagance.”’ ‘AS a matter of fact, Hazel,” said Philbert, “why do those Smith- sonian scientists have to go to Africa to measure the sunbeams, when they could just as easily stay here at home in Washington and measure a thousand a day if they wanted to.” “That would interfere with a lot of golf,” said Hazel “Why,” said Philbert, “an indus- trious scientist, with a long enough tape measure, Hazel, mind you, could have measured a_ million -sunbeams right in my back yard at 4:30 o'clock vesterday afternoon. I could have measured a billion, myself. No, Hazel. ‘my theory is that those scientists want a free trip to Africa, Hazel. It’s @ grab, Hazel, and I hope McCarl stops em.” “And think of the endless quarreling between them, Philbert, as to which sunbeam to selat to measure every day. Here's 129,465,897,362,839 African sun- beams to a square foot, we'll sav, f’rin- stance—does it stand to reason that any two Smithsonian scientists can agree on which one of those sunbeams to pick out to measure’? No, Philbert, in my judgment this scheme is full of danger. It’s calculated to rend the Smithsonian Institution with internal dissension.” “Well, it certainiv looks like a soft job,” admitted Philbert. “I’d take it (CONTING ED ON PAGE 7.

The fellow that went over and made what we thought was a very fair settlement with us on our debt, why they like to killed him when he got back. Talk about getting that debt pact rati- fied over in France! Say, you couldn't even get it voted on. The only thing they will do with that will be to hiss it. It certainly was smart of somebody in Washington to think of the idea of not holding Congress there to ratify this French loan because we would have had five hundred Congressmen and Senators die on our hands of old age. Now you will say, ‘‘What is the mat- ter with them?” I will tell you what is the matter with them. Everybody over here knows what’s the matter with them. They won’t pay their taxes. Some very big statistical Writer has been running a series of Articles on France and ‘her taxes. They have what they call an income tax, but it’s prac- tially voluntary. You turn in what you want to, and they never investigate it to see if it is right or not. He showed where big Doctors and Lawyers that / were earning millions of francs a year would. turn in their earnings as fifty or a hundred thousand francs. Their whole system of taxes is out of kilter someway, and it looks to me like the only way you will ever get any money for taxes out of them is to deduct it at the source some way. What I mean is, to take it away from them in some way before they. get it. If you ever let them lay their hands on it themselves they - AND, Oh, Boy, how they are hating us!

So we seem to be in pretty Dutch with all the Natives that we were so rude as to lend money to. It’s the old gag (and Nations are not different from individuals), you loan a _ man money and you lose his friendship. And the funny part about the whole thing is you go anywhere like the races, or the Opera, or any place where the prices are high, and you will see it packed and peeple spending more money than they do over home. I have dodged more big Rolls Royces and Fiats over here than I ever saw big Cars at home. There is lots of them over here got plenty of dough, but they are not giv- ing any of it to their Governments to pay out the taxes. | 3 So don’t lose too much sympathy about them not being able to pay. They are able to pay if they only get the taxes out of the right ones. The whole debt problem in all these Countries re- verts back to one thing and that is our © coming into the war. They say we come ‘in for one thing and we say and know that we come in for another. In other words what we did, has never been ap- preciated.

- bin Pretending to be paralyzed from the waist down and able only to crouch on the pavement as shown in the pho- tograph on the left, is a favorite ruse of the “fake” beggars. the beggars that infest New York's streets the police of that city have made some astonishing discoveries. There are, they say, at least 1,000 strect beggars who derive a larger revenue from the charity of passersby than public school teachers, letter carriers and various white collar men earn. What is known as the Mendicant Squad ot the New York police force estimates that in an hour’s time the average beggar on a busy street takes in no less than $5. The work is not arduous enough to prevent his putting in a ten-hour day and so his daily revenue is $50-$300 a week and more than $15,000 a year. A large percentage of the beggars arrested in the recent crusade have been found to have bank accounts. One of them had bank books showing deposits of $45,300 in various sav- ings banks. All this would not be so astonishing if al] these beggars were actually crippled or blind or in some other way terribly handicapped. But the police declare that a large percentage of those who go seeking alms on New York’s streets are perfectly sound and ablebodied persons. Not all of the imposters pretend to be phy- sically handicapped. A number of them put on the clothes of a minister or the garb of a nun and appeal for funds for some non- existent orphanage or hospital. Most astonishing of all the discoveries the police have made is the fact that there has existed for some time on the Bowery a beg- gars’ social club where these imposters were, for a price, taught and equipped to deceive the public. At this club the man who wanted to make some easy money by the street beg- ging could be quickly shown how to make himself appear either a one-armed man or a man with both his arms gone. He could, if he preferred, camouflage himself as a leg- less man, one who has to squat on a little platform mounted on rollers. This club on the Bowery to whose activi- ties the police have now put an end, carried a complete stock of everything necessary tc transform an ablebodied man or woman int» an apparently hopeless cripple. It had quan- titles of splints, surgical bandages to bind hands that are quite uninjured, worn and battered army upiforms and pitifully thin. iB the course of a recent crusade against THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1926.

For customers who did not care to appeal assume the roles of cripples the club had ministerial clothing and veils and solemn draperies which nuns wear. The beggars’ club is reached after you have traveled a narrow neck of flat beaten down mud, between two toppling old brick houses. It abutts upon a neglected court, and when you tap on its door, you are thor- oughly examined by two hidden eyes peering out through a_ peephole which looks like nothing but a knob- hole in the. dilapidated door. But once inside, once ‘‘received’’ and ac- credited you can go out as something far different from that which you went in. That is, if you have the price, cash money in advance to. pay One-Eyed Spanish Jack, who serves the drinks and introduces you to his lieutenant who applies the costumes when One-Eyed Jack nods the nod. But let members of. the Mendicant Squad tell how New York's ingenious beggars are made up, and what fate they meet as they ply their profession along the hurrying streets. “First of all, and probably the oldest trick of all,’’ every man at headquarters agrees, ‘“‘is the beggar who calls upon your pity and your purse as an armless veteran. This is the way they made up Arthur Will- iams in that Bowery joint. Arthur Williams is the latest arrest and con- viction for this armless disguise.” ‘‘Williams had lost one arm any- way. Well, to make his case very appealing, that lieutenant of One- Eyed Spanish Jack had strapped Williams’ whole left arm down flat to lyJs side, palm against his lower hip, and had bound it there with exactly five yards of stout surgical bangadge, the kind with the strong glue on its inner side. Then, over this, they had belted a good stout belt at the waist and then they had put the clothes on “Armless Arthuh.’’ His two empty coat sleeves waved in the bland breeze of a coo] summer after- noor in Manhattan. And about then Detec- INSECT WIVES DON’T CODDLE HUSBANDS One of the most cold-blooded massacres imaginable occurred one day recently, not among wild savages, but in an ordinary back- yard beehive. It was summer. Throughout the long, hot days there had been endless hustle and bustle in this marvelous apartment house, designed by the master craftsmen of the insect world— rooms to clean, more rooms to build, many babies to nurse, dinners to provide and pantry shelves to be stocked. It had been an exceed- ingly busy summer—busy, that is, for the women of the house, who had done al] the work. While they worked, the men folks had spent a lazy vacation, lolling in the sun, eat- * ¢ng and drinking, carousing in the hallways and making a nuisance of themselves gen- erally. At last the womenfolk rebelled. Their pa- tience was exhausted. They served notice that: g@ll the good-for-nothing men must go. This was no mere rolljng-pin indignation meeting. These females meant business. Sud- denly, as though at a given order, they set upon the lazy gluttons and murdered them to the last man! This is no insect fable.

The females are not only the mothers and housekeepers; they are the masters. They are the artisans, crafts- men, laborers, warriors and captains of in- dustry. The chief destiny of the males, it seems, is to mate and die. To this rule there is at least one notable exception—the dumpy little scavenger beetle known as the sisyphus. In this tribe the father and mother work side by side in the task of providing for their family. It is fascinating to watch one of these de- voted couples at work preparing and trans- porting food. First, with cleaver-like tools on their front legs, they cut away a neat chunk of refuse on which they feed. Then they pat and knead it gently, forming it into a sphere of marvelous symmetry. This done; they roll the ball to give it a crust. On one side the mother, clutching the ball with her front legs, moves backward, hauling it toward her. On the other side, the father, upside down, pushes with his hind legs. Then they push and tug it, sometimes in- credible distances, to the spot where they want to deposit it in the earth.

He was single, by all the records, and now his arm is freed from its 5 yards of swath- ing and he is serving 60 days in the workhouse. But, as all the authorities agree, this is only one of the de- vices. There was that gentleman from Yonkers. For days that stretched into, a fortnight, complaints had come in about a legless or seemingly legless, veteran who rolled along Seventh avenue and col- lected much scattering silver and not a few greenbacks.. This day the headquarters men followed a prosperous business man who got off a Yonkers train at Grand Central. He made his way to a garage on Thirty-fourth street. They waited outside. Let them tell the rest. “Walter Jones went in as a brisk, six- foot-one, young business man in a_ well- tailored, quiet checked suit, dark tan shoes, dim gray tie, Panama hat and malacca cane. Fifteen minutes later a man, his two legs gone, rolled out on one of those rollers on which legless men propel themselves along the city streets. The man who had gone in could laugh out, loud and bold. Once we had heard him laugh. The man who came out crunched, bent, in his soiled khaki shirt, when we dropped a dime in his tin cup thanked us with a consumptive whine. His upper legs, to his kneés, were dressed in greasy blue trousers. His uplifted face was yellow and nubbed and pitiful. ‘“‘*l was gassed in the war,’ he whined to us, ‘that—besides my legs.’ We watched him for an hour and a half. him as he rolled his roller up a dark al We hid among the shadows while he went through strange movements for a legless which fitted into belts, sewed into his trou- sers at the stumps just below his knees.

Then we turned our flashlights on him and ‘rushed him.’ ”’ Walter Jones, legless veteran, contrived to appear as such by means of two deeply cut grooves in his roller.. Into these fitted hollows, his two “forelegs” were sunken, leaving to-the gaze two seeming stumps end- Finally we followed | ‘crowd escaped this energetic pair.

It was as if the legs had been severed right at the knee. When Walter Jones was coaxed to tell more of himself than appeared on his roller, he admitted that he was the worthless son of a well-to-do contractor in Yonkers. Hes had expensive tastes and little to support them on. Four nights a week he rolled him- self in and out among New York’s theater crowds, with a yellow make-up on his face to resemble a gassed veteran. The conniving garage keeper supplied Arthur with a locker for his business suit, which he left when he donned his frayed khaki. And the same ga- rage. keeper collected $6 a week ‘garage rent” for keeping the ‘‘cripple’s’’ roller safe in its corner next to the limousine of a mil- lionaire dowager. The nearest Walter Jones got to the war was Camp Devens, and that was only three months before the armistice. Generally, so the policemen who are ex- perts on this question will tell you, the New York mendicant comes from out of town, but there is one case rather famous in the rec- ords of a substantial Brooklyn citizen who was arrested for begging and haled into court before a judge who happened to be an , acquaintance. This beggar had been plying his trade at a subway entrance. .

I—I gif them to my wife.” Those two apartment houses were worth, together, $40,000, and the mortgages had all been paid off.

At last the two detectives made their way into the apartment jointly occupied by one Carl Wood, a man whose last name was Garret, and a woman whose real name was never discovered. There was a maid in attendance, in black gown ‘and white apron. The furniture was luxurious. They found Wood lying on a bed, receiving the minis- trations of an expert massuer. Later,. when he and his two companions were arrested as high class beggars, Wood explained rather boastfully: A uni- “T handle the pan for 12 hours some days Apparently crip- pled by the loss of one arm at the shoulder but in reality a perfect- ly sound and able-bodied man who has been taught to deceive the public and in- crease his earn- ings as a beggar by wearing his ‘“‘missing arm”’ in- side his clothing and strapped tightly to his body. ¥ along Breadway. rollers. down—| funds. suer I go as In addition, keep my a legless man, on my left arm is strapped right free to handle my And if I didn't pay that robber mas- to rub me each night when I come out of my makeup I'd be paralyzed in a month.” The dectectives found this ‘beggar’ regu- larly paid a massage bill of $100 a month! The stories are legion of men who are beggars by day or night in New York and high livers when off duty. Probably that of the blind beggar was fairly unique. Each morning his blonde wife drove him to his “‘stand’’ in Wall street just before the of- fices emptied for the luncheon hour. He reaped a rich harvest, for men are more fenerous than women, so the mendicant Squad relates, and Wall street is the richest Street in the world. In the great, busy city hardly any one ever passes a beggar by. (Copyright, 1926, Johnson Features, Ine.) PLAYIN G CARDS AS “CARTES DE VISIT” There are people who maintain that these are degenerate, decadent days, and that the fine old times of our father’s fathers were ' ethically and morally much to be preferred. Yet at the time of the Revolution the best families of Baltimore thought nothing what- ever of using playing cards to bear names or messages—these being the same cards used for poker and other gambling games. And, according to historians, there were few calling cards other than playing cards. “It is worthy of remark,’’ says Thomas G. Scharf, in his “Chronicles of Baltimore,”’ writing about 50 years ago of the revolu- tionary period, ‘‘Now that we have such ele- gant devices in the form of visiting and: ad- mission cards, that nearly all the cards of those early days were written or printed upon common playing cards. “This was from the circumstance,” Mr. Scharf continues, “that blank cards were not. in the country and none but playing cards. were imported for sale.” Several that Mr. Scharf had in his pos- session he describes as follows: ‘One of these is an invitation from a leading gentle- man of the day requesting ‘Miss Cox’s com- pany,’ written on the back of the queen of hearts—no doubt a proper compliment to a charming belle of the past. i “Another is an invitation of the ‘Juvenile Amicable Society’ to the same young lady, printed on the back of the deuce of dia- monds, requesting her company at a ball. “*The honor of Miss alsc requested in red-letter printing on the back of a six of diamonds, date not specified.” tasking in the peenrtoties’ as thene — ver 4p eee eas Cox’s company’ is customs may seem, it must be remembered that the immediate ancestors of these playing eard-calling card people had other customs which would not be deemed morally correct — in 1926. Mr. Scharf lists the bill for the funeral] expenses of a gentleman of Baltimore town in the year 1758. The coffin and crapes and other black vestments comprise about half the bill, and then are mentioned some peculiar things, such as: Forty+sseven and one-half pounds loaf sugar, 14 dozen eggs, 10 ounces nutmegs, 1% pounds allspice, 20% gallons white wine, 12 bottles red Wine, 10% gallons rum. ‘And so it seems,” comments Mr. Scharf, “that our forefathers went becomingly and jovially to their graves Anno Domini 17658, in Baltimore town.”’ Worthy of mention also, and doubtless of interest to those condemning modern vices, is the fact. that for many years in Maryland tobacco was almost the only legal tender, being valued at three English pence the pound. —Baltimore Sun.

THE WASHINGTON POST: enelyt King B ee eee ee eee ayn adil i King Borie’ sister, Princess Eudoxia, who _is accompanying him on his latest bride hunt. This photograph shows her with her “goats on the farm she runs to help out eh eee Cicieliiakseiitiaiiaa varie wt the royal finances and to teach the Bul- - garian people up-to-date methods agriculture. F a charming young American heiress I traveling in Europe this summer hears somebody say, “Allow me to present Count Rilski,”’ she may well be excused if her little heart gives a wild flutter. As she will doubtless realize the she hears the count’s name mentioned, the good looking and very soldierly young man who is being introduced to her is in reality King Boris of Bulgaria traveling through Europe disguised as a modest count in order to look over the field of marriage- able young women and try to find one who is willing to become his bride. The young king’s bachelorhood is becom- ing as interesting and as much talked about as that of the Prince of Wales, but for quite different reasons. The English prince re- mains a bacheior from choice. If he would only say the word he could have one of many charming young. women for his bride. Unhappy King Boris, however, remains a bachelor because there is nothing else for him to do. Je has long been anxious to marry and have a queen to make his gloomy palaee in Sofia less lonely than it. is. There is an insistent demand on the part of his subjects that Boris get married and provide an heir to the throne. But, search as he will, Boris has not yet been able to find a royal princess or a rich heiress who is willing to face the difficulties and dangers of sharing the Bulgarian throne with him. King Boris, to restore the country, would of instant who is intensely patriotic and eager fortunes of his distressed course like to make a mar- riage alliance with daughter of some powerful rova! house. such an alliance would go a lons way toward improving the position of Pulgaria, and his diplomatic ad- visers urge it as necessary to the salvation of the country. Daughters of powerful royal families are not numerous, however, and what few there are of them do not care to consider Boris as a husband. It is not because of any objec- tion to the young man himself but because of the unfortunate condition of the country over which he rules and the doubt as to how long his throne is going to endure. Boris and the Bulgarian diplomats have for a long time been looking with desireful eyes at Prineess Giovanna of Italy. They agree that she would make an ideal queen for Bulgaria—not only a charming young woman but one who would bring her adopt- ed country considerable wealth and a large amount of political prestige. the of When Boris disguised him- self as Count Rilski and set out on his latest quest of a bride it is believed that-he intended going straight to Italy to try to win Giovan- na’s heart and the consent of her family to a marriage. As soon as the king’s plan be- came known, however, the royal family in Rome an- nounced in the most positive terms that a marriage be- tween Giovanna and the King of Bulgaria would not be con- sidered for a minute. Neither of Giovanna’s married sisters has a king or even a royal prince for a husband and it has always been the hope that such a match might be made for her. But neither her family nor her country’s diplomats feel justified in permitting the princess to risk her happiness on the precarious future of Bulgaria. When Boris received this re- buff from Italy he suddenly abandoned his plan of going direct to Turin to visit the Duchess of Aosta, who is his aunt and also an aunt of Princess Giovanna. The duchess is said to be keenly interested in her nephew's matrimonial difficulties and to be doing everything she can to help him find a wife. Instead of going .to Boris went to Geneva, he has been in with persons Scandinavian Turin where conference close to the royal houses. This leads to. the belief that he is trying to arrange a marriage alliance with one of the Swedish princesses. The most logical. one for him to woo would be beauti- ful Princess Astrid, who has been frequently: mentioned as a _ possible bride for the Prince of Wales. But it is con- sidered very doubtful if Princess Astrid’s family will be any more willing than Prin- cess Giovanna’s to see her become queen of Bulgaria. As has been said before, the objection to DARE-DEVIL CONQUERS FEAR) Peter Jerome Ringens, sensational stunt diver, makes a profession of the art he ex- celled in as a boy in the old swimming hole. Once, at the height of his career, he lost his nerve and was unable to dive for a month. In the famous bicycle dive which he has perfected he rides down an incline (he calls it a scenic railway), about 110 feet high aft the starting point and 60 feet at the take-off, shoots off into space for 75 feet, and, dropping * the bicycle into a. net, lands in the center of a small tank of water, just as he does in the high dive. Most people’s hearts stop beating and their hands get excessively clammy while watching this spectacular stunt. Instead, however, of working up the stunt, step by step. as he had done in perfecting the high dive, Ringeéns began at the final stage. The resuli was that the first time he tried the act on the edge of a pond in Kansas City, Mo., some six years ago, he met disaster. He fell just a little short of thé deep water where, he had intended to land and crasbed into shallow water.

There was a deathlike stillness. He released the starting blocks and down the in- cline he sped with the speed of a cannon shot, faster and faster. The battle with death was On. Guiding the bicycle along the narrow black line which treads the incline, he reached the take-off, and shot off into space. The rest was a question of split seconds. He freed himself from the bicycle at just the right place and hurtled straight for the center of the lake. With a clean swoop he took the water exactly right and landed unharmed. He had won the battle! There was a moment of exquisite bliss when he realized this. Then he had to start all over again! After months of practice he substituted a tank for the lake and went on the road with the act.—From Everybodys Magazine for August.

King Boris as a husband for some of Eu- rope’s royal princesses is not based on any personal grounds. The young man is 32 years old and an extremely personable fel- low, well educated, of excellent habits and possessed of a most pleasing personality. Fortunately for him he is said to resemble his mother rather than his father. The lat- ter who preceded Boris on the throne of Bulgaria had a very unsavory reputation. Princess Louise of Belgium once described him as ‘‘one of the wickedest men that ever lived.” Boris’ mother, the former Princess Marie Louise, was on the contrary a saint-like per- son, loved and respected by everybody who knew her. To this day the Bulgarian people refer to her as the ‘‘angel queen.’’ She was immensely wealthy and gave lib- erally not only of her money but of her time and effort to the work of bettering conditions in her adopted country. Aimost every edu- cational and charitable institution in Bul- garia owes its origin to her generousity and energy. - The objections to King Boris as a husband for some royal princess lies almost entirely in the poverty of the Bulgarian government and the fact that its overthrow is continually threatened. When Boris’ father, Czar Ferdinand, abdi- cated the throne he left his son an empty treasury and a people on the verge of an- archy. King Boris has striven intelligently and energetically to improve conditions but he has not yet been able to fill the treasury or to allay all the discontent which keeps his country threatened with revolution. King Boris is the poorest paid monarch in Europe. The government allows him only $25,000 a year, a sum less than thousands of American business men receive in salaries. As the king has no personal fortune to fall back on, he has a hard time making both ends meet in a financial way. His sister, Princess Eudoxia, who is ac- _ companying bim on hig present bride hunt, * ns i i Apo eek Sein ae ; ni - po ¥en / ofa * b> . oT ,i% — ” at oe oie e J ee 2 is a i ia ae at Charming Princess As- trid, of Sweden, an ideal bride for the Bulgarian king so all the match- makers think—but will she listen to his wooing? The former Czar Ferdinand, who ab- dicated the Bulgarian throne } in favor of his son Boris. actually has been forced to take up farming in order to help out the family’s finances. She is proving a very good farmer, too, and the up-to-date methods she is introducing are doing much to improve Bulgarian agriculture. Several years ago when King Boris first be- gan his quest of a bride he announced that, failing to get a royal princess, he would not be at all averse to having some charming American heiress for his queen. In fact, at one time the king was said to be planning a trip to America to see just what this country had to offer in the way of wealthy “and beau- tiful girls who might be tempted by the glitter of a royal crown to face the turbulent conditions that prevail in Bulgaria. An American heiress, of course, wouid bring Bulgaria no political prestige, but her wealth might more than compensate for this lack. It is strongly suspected that King Boris has chosen just this time for his bride hunt because he knows it is the time when hun- dreds of American hejresses are to be found in almost every, part of meee. mes : ? * . 1 ¢ - GOs ROE aa ” * ae ¥ ~~ “ ne ca age under the modest title of a count will give him, he thinks, a.better opportunity of studying them than if he traveled with all the pomp and dignity of his royal rank. “Every young man of the king’s age,” says the premier of Bulgaria, “naturally desires to meet his love mate. As yet nothing has ~ heen definitely settled in this regard. The king is absolutely free to act in the matter in accordance with his own good will.’’ This statement is thought to be significant of the king’s intention to search out an American heiress for his bride in case, as seems very probable, no princess of royal blood will have him for a husband. But where is the rich American beauty Who will be willing for the sake of a king's love and a queen’s glittering crown to rush in where Europe's princesses, with all their experience with revolutions and political in- trigues, fear to go? King Boris is said to be greatly impressed with the large number of rich American girls who have married titled Europeans. If dukes, earls, marquises, counts and barons have found it so easy to win an heiress bride from across the Atlantic he thinks it should be still easier for him with the tempting in- ducement of an honest to goodness royal crown to offer. If King Boris should woo and win one nu“) MN th ag PRE eh gt te tae as A AE HP Unhappy King Boris, good looking, finely educated, the possessor of a royal crown—and still unable to find anybody to be his queen. of our heiresses, his bride would enjoy the unique distinction of being the first American woman to become a queen.

The country is tremen- dously rich in oil and natural resources. All it needs to set it on the road to prosperity is capital and a long period of freedom from war and revolution. With her millions and her natural capacity for big business the daughter of some Amert- can captain of industry might transform Bulgaria into a prosperous and ,powerfui nation and make herself and her roéyal hus- band among the richest of monarchs. Per- haps she would be able to induce her shrewd old father to emerge from his retirement and take a hand in straightening out her adopted country's tangled affairs and putting things on a paying basis.

Yet not until recently has a method of sex diagnosis been developed that would stand scientific scrutiny. And now scientists are endeavoming to solve a problem that is even more perplexing—sex determination—regulating the sex of an un- born child, according to the wishes of the parents, writes Peter Vischer in Popular Science Monthly for September. In other words, according to scientists, it is now possible for parents to learn whether their baby is to be a boy or a girl. Further, it is not beyond possibility that, by scientific ogees, the sex of human beings some day may be changed before birth, or even later. Finally, it may even be possible some day for parents to bring about the birth of a boy or girl, as they wish. A chemical process for yx diagnosis has been worked out in Russia’ by two doctors, who announced that by this method they can tell definitely the sex of an animal or plant merely by testing a few drops of blood or of plant juice. As applied practically, the blood of a mother should be submitted to test. If her child was to be @ boy the test would dis- close traces of male blood, for the chemical reagent used by the Russian scientists causes male blood to lose color, but has no effect on female blood. At about the same time scientists in Ger- many were pursuing a similar investigation. They used and refined what is known medi- cally as the ‘“‘Abderhaden reaction,” based on the same theory developed by the Russians. This reaction was found effective in 78 cases ont of 100. Since then, elaborations of the sont ee ane Ss eee ree accuracy of The German scientists, incidentally, made the interesting discovery that in the case of twins of different sexes the development of a boy child is indicated. Also, that the birth of an extremely delicate boy usually results — in the reaction that signalizes a girl. Sex transformation and determination, however, present considerably more complex problems than sex diagnosis. There are, though, at least three cases thoroughly au- thenticated by scientists that show a complete transformation of the sex of adult animals, One was that of a hen that became a rooster. WHO WAS SHERIFF? Not so long ago, the story runs, a traveling man visited a certain’smal! town and sold the proprietor gf its general store an order of jewelry. When the jewelry arrived it was not as represented and the merchant consequently returned it. But the wholesale house nevertheless at- tempted to collect the bill, and drew a sight- draft on the merchant though the local bank, which returned the draft unhonored. The wholesaler then wrote to the postmaster about the financial standing of the merchant, and the postmaster replied that. it was O. K. By return mail the wholesale dealer requested him éo collect the bill and they received the following reply: “The undersigfed is the merchant on whom ! you attempted to palm off your worthless goods. The undersigned is president and = owner of the bank to which you sent your sight-draft. The undersigned is the postmas- ter to whom you wrote, and the undersigned — is the lawyer whose services you sought to obtain for your nefarious business.

Interesting photographic study of Mrs. Maude Robinson, the London gambler’s wife who played a leading role in the plot to cheat Sir Hari Singh out of a fortune. By CAPT. J. C.

I had been forced to borrow a million francs from Vera and deposit it with the extortioners in order to convince them of my ‘“‘good’”’ intentions, but I felt confident that Sir Hari would recom- pense me for this outlay when he learned how I had thwarted the gang. They had been bold enough to stalk him in India in an effort to cash the £150,000 check on which he had stopped payment and had obtained his agreement to meet them and pay the sum demanded provided 1 should be _ present. Well, I wasn’t present, and the rajah didn't pay the sum the bandits demanded. And now I had managed to clean them completely of their weapons, check and all. When they discovered that I had tricked them and returned the check to the rajah with all the documents which might have been used to incriminate him, their rage knew no bounds. They attempted first to blackmail Vera, threatening to inform her husband of her romance, but she defied them calmly. Then they started after the hus- band. Before they reached him I learned that they had rifled my baggage while I was sick with typhoid fever in India and had extracted several very compromising letters ‘from Vera. Clearly these were to be the in trade of the gang in obtaining re- and stock venge un me for thwarting them and on Vera for refusing to be blackmailed. In this emergency it seemed that there was nothing to do but the mast drastic measures. I ac- cordingly consulted my lawyers in London and had a writ issued against Newton, the pretended ‘‘Mr. Robinson.” The next thing was to serve the writ, which proved an amazingly hard . task. Newton lecked himself in his apartment and frus- trated every ingenious attempt of the writ servers for more than a week. Finally they caught him and presented the summons, after which the case was called for a hearing. Just before the case came into court, who should appear once more but Hobbs, who in- troduced himself as a peacemaker, and en- deavored to persuade me to withdraw the action on the assurance that there would be no further attempt by his client to black- mail Vera or molest. me or her in any way. whom he still fatu- ously believed would be unable to withstand the prom- ises and pledges of entertainment he had made them. He waited for cables and eagerly devour- ed the mails, but the cold and disap- pointing truth dawned upon him at last that his Euro- pean friends weren't coming to India. There was great excitement in the rajah’s household as he sought to es- tablish European customs in house- keeping and intro- duce appliances which were -both strange and some to the native servants. It was ap- parent that it would be some time before the effect of his oc- cidentaltravels would wear off suf- ficiently to give him a proper balance in applying the lessons he had learned to the conditions faced in Kashmir. 1 eventually consented to this, stipulating that the compromising letters written by my sweetheart should be returned to me, to- gether with any photographs that might have been made of them. I also demanded that guarantee should be furnished that the black- mailing should cease. My solicitor was ail against settlement in view of the character of the people in whose hands 1 was. He said that my future safety lay in their exposure. I! had good and suf- ficient reasons, however, for avoiding a scandal, and it agreed eventually .that the three letters which the bandits had held head and Vera’s should be returned through the medium of Hobbs, who also made a counter proposal that a sum of money should pass through the hands of my so- licitor and be returned to him’'so as to take from the case in the eyes of the judge any appearance of irregularity or blackmail, which it really was. The idea was that in the absence of evidence in the case a cash pay- ment by way of settlement would make the affair look like an ordinary. dispute over the possession of valuable papers. This was agreed to and the black- mailers escaped Once more because it was dis- tinctly to their victim’s advantage to be rid of them without scandal. A Bank of England note for £1,000 ($5,000) was handed by Hobbs to my solicitor, by my solicitor to me and by me to Hobbs. My letters were re- turned through Hobbs and I withdrew my suit. This was the last | saw of the indi- vidual who had represented himself to be Mr. Robinson, who turned king’s evidence against his fellow conspirators when the. scandal broke, and who called himself Montagu Noah Newton. It would be very interesting to know this man’s real name and record, a mat- ter which the English justices seem not to have gone into. Newton was able to appear in the courts and win not only immunity from prosecution but a very handsome payment for his services as a witness. Was over my away plan While the dramatic shuttling back and forth to India and the new attempted hold- up of the rajah were going on, I was nat- urally only in touch with him by letter and wire, but | have since learned from Tom Stanley, the chauffeur who accompanied him back to India, how things were going. I left the rajah with a sheaf of telegrams in his hands concerning the sudden and mysterious illness of the young Ranee, his second wife. The last told‘of her death, and’ he was pre- paring to hurry home by train and motor. This was: more than six months after his re- turn from Europe. The rajah was a very much discontented prince during his first few weeks in India, I learned. He set about building and lux- uriously furnishing a houseboat, which Stan- ley thought at first. was intended for the re- ception of Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Bevan. Curiously enough, it developed that he was really endeavoring to make good his promise to welcome with unheard of extravagance the two beautiful Irish ladies to whom he had been introduced at the Curragh races, and ‘ 2B Now I shall tell what J heard of the poor ranee, the rajah’s second wife. He had left her alone in India when he started his Euro- pean tour, and all the gifts he had sent her apparently had not compensated for the stories of his gay adventures which had come to her through the gossip of the zenana. Stanley said that on his return Sir Hari had placed all of the magnificent jewelry he had bought in Europe upon a silken cushion and had this carried in front:of him by ser- vants when he went to greet his wife. In courtly fashion the cushion was laid at the feet of the ranee. With queenly dignity she raised her head, looked accusingly at her husband. and then putting one of her tiny feet under the cushion kicked it and its freight of wealth to one side, saying: “It is your love and not your jewels that | want.’’ The story as I heard it held that the prin- cess’ had looked into Sir Hari’s eyes to find a sign of eager love and delight that he had returned to her. Instead she found only pride and self-satisfaction at the costly gifts that he was presenting to her. Whatever she found, it did not bring happiness to the ranee. She was a virtual prisoner within the zenana, or harem, it is true, but she was wealthy and prominent in her own right, and from what 1 heard the rajah by no means had every- thing his own way within the walls of the palace. When the automobiles were brought from ingland it was in order, of course, that the ladies of the zenana. should enjoy rides in them. How to bring the women from the zenana through the men’s quarters of the palace to the automobile was a problem. It was solved in a truly Oriental manner by the construction of a subway right through the palace interior to the women’s quarters. An automobile would be driven through this tunnel to the door of the zenana. The pass- engers would be screened from the chauffer's vision by lattices or shades and a stalwart and trusted member of the palace guard, armed to the teeth, would occupy the seat be- side the driver. The Ranee was a very intelligent woman and received frequent visits from European and from Hindu women who had been edu- cated in the West. She imbibed many ideas of feminine emancipation from them. She was, | am told, very pretty and. charming in her manner. The rajah was in Calcutta when she was stricken very suddenly with her fatal illness. When Sir Hari left the pal- ace there had been no indication that she was not in the ‘very best of health. Stanley was sent racing in the big limou- sine a distance of 200 miles for a woman doctor, but was recalled by a wire from some palace official after he had gone but a short distance and told to wait until morning when full instructions would be received from Sir Hari Singh. By morning the poor woman had died-—they called it “interval smallpox,’’ but that sort of a diagnosis means absolutely nothing in India. On the evening of the day she died the body of the Ranee was cremated on a great funeral pyre on the bank of the river. AUGUST 15, 1926. fear-. ‘ment bond from the consignor. A long period of depression followed for the rajah, and this probably explains how Newton and Von Koenig were able to carry negotia- on their nefarious and threatening tions with him unscathed. Ali Beg had become the rajah’s secretary on his return to India. His appointment was immediately opposed by everybody cf any in- fluence at court. To begin with, Ali Beg was a Mahometan, which meant that had the rajah been at that time, as he is today, “in caste’’ his association with him would have been impossible. I can not say whether it was by his own machinations or the machinations of the Brahmins and the court officials that Ali Beg became persona non grata with Sir Hari Singh, but this happened before many months had passed. Ali Beg left the rajah’s service and became very promptly thereafter the sec- retary and adviser of one of India’s most noted princesses and the tutor to her infant child. The four succeeding years were a period of startling adventure and disappointment and hardship for me. The troubles in Ireland had seriously impaired the income from my estate and contrary to what the British courts seemed to believe later on, I was not rolling in wealth but actually hard up. I thought there ought to be plenty of excitement and profit in the then new industry of carrying contraband liquor to the United States and accordingly went to work for one of these liquor shipping syndicates in the capacity of supercargo. In this role I made three voy- ages across the Atlantic during a period of twelve months. The ship we sailed in was very small, a mere tub of 300-odd tons. We lay for weeks off Long Island: in all sorts of weather before the cargo would be disposed to the rum-run- ning shore boats and we could make off for home once more. It was a terrible exper- ience, particularly the necessity of being in sight of land for such long periods without the opportunity to set foot on it. and feel solid earth beneath you. The experience was very trying in every way and the excitement that had been so widely heralded was entirely lacking, though I imagine that the advent of the hijackers or liquor pirates a short time later may have made things a bit more interesting. What excitement there was lay entirely in an end of the business with which we had nothing to do——-the transportation of the liquor from our ship to the points where it was disposed of to consumers. My plan was based on the fact that whisky shipped from Great Britain for the smuggling trade has to be consigned to a foreign port where the bills of lading have to be signed by the British consul before lifting the ship- Failing such a procedure the owner of the whisky aboard ship is liable to an enormous fing, as the British revenue authorities would have no proof that it had been actually expomted and consumed outside of British territory. The common practice therefore was to ship the liquor from England to Hamburg, a free port, where it could be reexported without a tax levy or further embarrassing entanglements. My idea was to find a base of operations of this kind in the Far East, from which the Pacific coast of the United States could be supplied, at the same time avoiding the sur- veillance and inspection which would resylt from the use of the Panama canal by a liquor ship. My plan impressed the Hartwell syndi- cate heads and, financial matters being ar- ranged, I was dispatched to the Far East there to arrange for the chartering of suit- able vessels and with another European fo cross the Pacific. I found considerable diffi- culty in effecting a ship charter. Ships of suitable size were numerous, but owing to the boom in coastal and inter-island trade the owners were unwilling to'charter for an unknown destination. After some time this difficulty was overcome by negotiation with a_ group of Chinese ship owners to whom it was necessary, however, to give an interest in thea project before they would provide a ship. By this time the liquor had been shipped from Europe to one of the Dutch ports in the East Indies where, coming down from Singapore, we picked it up. Our vessel in no way resembled a Cunarder. I should think, rather, that it was built upon the same shipways as the Ark. Its speed was any- where from nothing to four or five knots an hour and it was manned by a Chinese crew and navigator. Our route lay through the Dutch islands, striking the north of Australia at the Straits, and following the coast down inside the Barrier reef to Sydney. From this point the course was to lead straight across the Pacific via the South Sea islands, -where we planned to call and pick up fuel and sup- plies at frequent intervals. Chinese naviga- tion being somewhat antiquated in its meth. ods was defeated, however, by the Dutes arenntne.

The stem had climbed straight up on a hid- den reef, the bottom was ripped by the jagged rock and the ship was filling rapidly. Within half an hour she had slipped off her perch and disappeared in deep water. The situa- tion for the moment was not really very alarming. We had ample time to get the two boats we had afloat and to properly pro- vision them. We spent the night in the neighborhood of the wreck, the sea being calm. and oily. Shortly after dawn we were sighted by a Dutch tanker bound for the Bali Papan oil fields in the south of Borneo. We were taken aboard and landed at a Dutch port a day later. From there my European companion and | finally reached Sydney, Australia. [ had very little money and had to cable my agent in Limerick for 50 pounds. I received it promptly and things began to look much better. I had never been in this part of the world before and as J had always wanted to see the South Sea islands I began to look about for a trading schooner on which I would be able to ship. I found that Auckland, New Zealand, was more their port of call, so there J went, found a suitable craft. with the skipper and soon was sailing off for Fiji. After seeing most of the islands in that group I went on to Raratnga where I took another schooner bound for Tahiti. We-made many island calls en route, of course, and on one of these I had a disastrous accident. The vessel was being moored to a quay which was an entirely natural con- trivance consisting of a steep grass bank and some palm trees for mooring posts. As the ship was being made fast I slipped over a loose hatch and fell, breaking two of my ribs. [ did not know exactly what had happened to me and there was no doctor. The captain who rather fancied his medica] abilities ‘de- cided that the frightful agony I was suffering was due to rheumatism and cure me by vigorous massage. How I survived this course of treatment will always be a mystery to me, but after eight days of the most awful agony we ar- rived at Papeete where there was a French doctor. By this time I was absolutely less. He immediately diagnosed my injury, strapped me in plaster which banished al] of my suffering as if by magie and | found myself practically sound in a few days. Tahiti I found the ideal place for langorous living. I met there two acquaintances from my home county in Ireland and a very in- teresting Russian colonel whose guest I was for several weeks. He had been an official in the court of the late czar and found him- self in Japan -without means when the war was ended. He started ‘back to Europe as a stoker, went ashore at Port Said and by an almost miraculous chance was able to regain a part of his family fortune and to continue his journey as a first class passenger. He couldn’t get ahead in Europe, however, as he had no gift for commercial pursuits, so he took what money remained and sailed for Tahiti where he bought a little plantation qn the beach and decided to end his days pleasantly and peacefully. He was free from all cares and worries, enjoying life apparently with greater zest than in the days of his magnificence and he had not neglected to bring a fair ‘‘Lalage’’ with him into his exile. I soon began to feel that should I remain a little longer I would never leave these islands, so I decided to work my way to the United States. I arrived on the Pacific coast with very little money and though anxious to find work discovered it was well nigh jan impossibility. Thus it was that I found my- self in San Francisco one morning in pousses- sion of one United States cent. I put my ideas of easy living behind me and signed on a British freighter bound for London as a quartermaster drawing 9 pounds a month. By three in the afternoon I was through the Golden Gate and after a very stormy and ac- tually dangerous voyage we arrived in London. | | I came ashore with my wages of 20 pounds made friends attempted to help- and crossed at once to Paris where I hoped to find something to do. I had a number of opportunities, including one which I accepted to go to New York. It was while I was await- ing funds from a friend in the Balkans that [ happened to cross the channel once more and go to London. I was ealled on at my. club there by a man whom I had never previously seen and who introduced himself as Mr. Rob- inson, the husband of Mrs. Maude Robin- son. He asked me a maze of questions re- lating to the amounts paid by the rajan to Hobbs of the Appleton law firm. I naturally refused to answer these ques- tions because I had no idea who this man was or whether he was not representing the black- mailers.

By Albert Payson Terhune in the newspapers a very few years ago. His name was (and is) Bobbie. He is owned by G. F. Brazier, of Silverton, Ore. His adventures have been turned into a book. Early in 1921, when Bobbie was only six weeks old, Mr. Brazier bought him for $5. This was a ridiculously smiall price for a col- lie pup, as youngsters of the same breed and age sometimes sell as high as $150 or $200, if they are “show prospects.” In learning to drive cattle on his new master’s farm, the puppy was kicked badly by a horse, receiving a scar which he bears to this day. Also a small tractor ran over him, injuring one of his hips. By these and other marks, long afterward, he was identi- fied along a route of. 3,000 miles. Brazier sold his farm a year or so later, and sold Bobbie along with it. The family moved into Silverton, some miles away. But Bobbie had been sold without his own con- sent. He found his way to Silverton and to his old master’s home. This he did so often that at last Brazier bought him back again. In the late summer of 1923 the Brazier family made a motor tour of the middle ‘West. Bobbie was taken along. At Wolcott, Ind., while Bobbie was wandering around the town, the family started away failing to find im, They drove south into Meaito asd r that along the Pacific coast, up through California to Silverton, Ore., again. Bobbie meanwhile had gotten mixed up in “a dog fight that carried him far from the garage where his master had iost him. The -advertisements, paid for by Brazier, failed to locate the missing dog. Thus, it was up to Bobbie to find his human friends and his old home, unaided. Glance at a map of the United States and figure out the distance between Wolcott, Ind. and Silverton, Ore., and the nature of the thousands of miles of country in between, and you may have some faint idea of the task ahead of the gallant collie. In brief, here is what Bobbie did, though nobody knows how he could have done it. However, the truth of the story is attested by Many people with whom. he stopped for HIS is the story of another dog whose exploits found many columns of space 4 food and water and rest along the route, - and by the fact that at last he got home. He did not travel in a straight line, but - almost always in the general. direction: of his own town. Without help, without other tidine than that of his miraculous “collie a sense,’ he set forth on his seemingly eless journey. . For. something like 3,000 miles he trot- . Through big cities and villages padded tireless feet; across hot desert sands menaced swam wide rivers—-though when he uld do'so he would travel up one bank ef river to its narrowest part before tryihg @ross it, for collies as a rule do not ig oo . ng.

Sometimes fatigue would make him turn aside and rest for a few days with some kindly human from whom he could get food and drink and on whose premises he could sleep all he. needed to and where his sore pads could get a chance to heal. Then on he would go again, still in the general direction of home, and keeping up his journey until once more weariness and starvation made him take another rest. He used brain as well as courage and wiry . strength, on that tremendous journey of his; never traveling too far at any one stretch to render himself permanentiy lame or en- feebled. It was only on the last lap of his journey that he allowed his keen longing to see his master make him careless of fatigue and hunger. For as he nearer Silverton, Bobbie forgot caution and put on all the remaining speed he had. He had been lost at Wolcott, Ind. on August 15, 1923. gOn February 15, exactly six months later, to the day, he staggered ; His . into Silverton and to his master’s house. _ 3,000-mile wanderings were over.

At once news of Bobbie’s exploit was tele- sraphed everywhere. Then began an ordeal almost as tiring as had been his journey. People flocked by thousands to see the wonderful dog. They patted him until his tender skin .was bruised. They brought him ridiculous gifts by the dozen—gifts that any dog would have swapped gladly for a pound of raw chuck steak. A model bungalow was built as a home for him. He received a gold collar and a handful of medals and many another tribute to his brain and courage. A public reception was held in his honor— at which wholesale patting and mauling were so painful that Brazier rigged up a, wire scree between the great dog and his over- enthusiastic admirers, From the statements of people Bobbie stopped with or was seen by on his trip, it seems that at first he cast about in a wide arc off almost a thousand miles, before he could get his bearings and start on a... straighter line for home. Not long after he got back to Silverton, he created another and slighter stir in local newspapers by turning aside from his daily walk and galloping around a pile of under- brush, barking-at the top of his lungs. The pile of brush was investigated, and the ‘body of a suicide was found beneath it. — (Copyright, en ayadiontn ane) a ie i Po ‘ A ai bf - x hot ny Pes 3 ee 3% Spt ti 5 oy * Ss fly FS ae ® us ere 4 ™ 4 * ary * > ‘ - ly + “a a * * ~ oii el . 6-4.

It was my privilege recently to photograph a venerable American citizen. I confess that in the making of these photographs I felt a degree of respect for this humble member of an ancient family which I never had expected would be or could be aroused by a mere reptile. Something more than a year ago 1 broad- cast an account of a pox turtle, or tortoise, whose age was estimated to be something over 107 years, based on the date carved on the shell. This brought to me the informa- tion that a still older turtle was supposed to be living on a farm in Enfield, Conn. I say ‘‘supposed””’ because at the time this venerable chelonian had not been seen for two years. His friends of the farm, however, were cer- tain that he would reappear and promised to send me word if he should do so. He did reappear on July 1, and I was promptly notified. Soon July 4 we celebrated —Nathan and I—-Nathan by posing for his picture, and I by having the honor cf photo- graphing one who may have been alive when the Fourth of July came into being. In fact, I think the chances are very good that he was alive at that time. Nathan is a box tortoise or turtle—Ter- rapene carolina. He was found on the farm of Nathan O. Wardwell in the year 1815. On the plastron, or under shell, Mr. Wardwell carved his initials and the year, and let Na- than go. In course of time the farm passed out of the Wardwell family into the hands of Mr. William McCracken, who has lived on the farm over 50 years. All during this pe- riod Nathan has reappeared at intervals of two or three years. A son of Nathan Ward- wel] told Mr. McCracken of having seen his father mark the turtle in 1815. Each time that Nathan has been found he has been taken to the farmhouse, fed, kept a few days, and then given his freedom. Thus the record is exceptionally wel] authenticated. For 111 years Nathan has gone his way on that farm. How old he was when he was marked there is no means of knowing. He may have been 50 or 150 years old then for all anybody knows, for he was full size and no more youthful appearing than at the present time. When I photographed Nathan he appeared to be as youthful and as full of pep as is be- fitting in a turtle living in the days of the flapper. He was entirely self-possessed and asked no favors of any one. He appeared a little weak in the hind legs, but undoubtedly this was due to a recent accident of only. fif- teen years ago. At that time Nathan got un- der a wagon wheel and was somewhat crushed at the rear. The break in the upper shell still shows. He wasn’t expected to live at the time, but ane who allows a century ‘to roll ever him with such apparent ease natu- rally would not succumb to a mere wagon wheel. He did go into seclusion for four years, the longest time Mr. McCracken can recall of his having been unseen. The very farmhouse and barns on that farm Nathan saw growing, for they were built from timber fut on the farm. They were in the tree when Nathan was _ no longer a youth. In these days. of high speed, rush and worry, it was rather soul ' satisfying to look upon one for whom time has no meaning. As I watched Nathan traveling away through the tobacco field toward the woods I felt as if I should stand at salute, or at least remove my hat. Introducing Rudolph, I want to introduce to you Rudolph. I in- troduced him the other gg to some friends.

I brought Rudolph in in a eovered box, I had just looked at him, and found him resting quietly and at ease. He has very beautifu; eyes, and it is possible that I missed a twinkle in them. Perhaps Ru- dolph has a theatrical streaw in him. Any- way, as I entered the room I opened the box. Rudolph didn’t wait for anything more forma! in the way of an introduction. He landed on a young man’s shoulder and the man’s glass of ginger ale went one way and he another. Rudolph is not a re- specter of age, but in this matter he 1s merely living up to the times. He made a flying leap which landed him in the lap of the eldest member of the party. iHer gin- ger ale was immediately wasted, and there was a shriek and a scramble. It was all very sudden and unintentional on my part. You see, I have not been ac- quainted -with Rudolph very long, and |! didn’t fully understand his ways. He is a lover of night life and, having slept all day, he took my opening of the box as an in- vitation to come forth, and he came. Ru- dolph is a tropical tree toad, or tree frog. He answers to the name of Hyla domini- censis, and he arrived at my home after journeying from Haiti, his native place, in a bunch of bananas, Being about twice the size of our largest Northern tree toad, I must. admit that Rudolph was rather startling when he made those flying leaps. So far I have had some difficulty in prepar- ing a menu which may even hint at a tropical flavor. . Rudolph has scorned most of my offerings. However, he is by way of be- coming a good Englishman. I am feeding him scrapped raw beef, placing it where he has no choice but to swallow it; and he is thriving. on it. So Rudolph and I ‘are get- ting along nicely, and I expect to learn much from him. The other night when I looked at him he was inflated to such an extent that I had the feeling that,should I touch him he would blow up in my face, The Hare and the Rabbit. Confusion always results in the careless’ use of names. I find I have to watch care- fully to find out just what people are writing or talking about. The rabbit and the hare form an‘excellent example of this. Through- out. his range the cottontail rabbit is called a rabbit. But just north of the range of the cottontail is the so-called snowshoe rabbit, “which isn’t a rabbit at all, but a true hare— . the varying hare, to be exact. Yet through- out the greater pa § of its range it He nome monly called rabbi The Hs hs, other aaces eh Thi also is a ae hot a Deed alte Stas tS “a TH AS KECOKD OP iS NOW THIS? TURTLE Iv PTILL LIVING PungTO BY Tw. BVROES4 rabbit. And when one comes to localities where the range of the rabbit and the hare overlap, and the name ‘rabbit’ is applied to both indiscriminately, a great deal of con- fusion results. The voung of the hare are born with their eyes open and fully clothed. They are able to eat and hop about at onee. The young of the rabbit are blind, naked and helpless at birth. The American Emblem. We are very fond of talking about folk making the “eagle scream.’ This bird is the one living emblem of the nation. Its image is on our coins, and tops the staff above the American flag. We use it on seals and in countless ways. Yet I find that the living bird too often commands no respect whatever. I can not conceive of an American citwen pointing a gun at an eagle. Yet it is done and has been done to an extent that has made the bald eagle a comparatively rare bird in parts of the East, where it was once fairly common. The man who would rod an eagie’s nest, or kill an eagle, lays himself open to the suspicion that he would pull down the Ameri- can flag if occasion offered. Naturalist’s Question Box. Stephen Holt writes: ‘I saw a bird about the size of a robin. Its color was brown on the back and its breast was brown with white spots. Will you please let me know what kind of bird it was?” Undoubtedly it was a thrush, probably a woodthrush. However, it is impossible to ga} what kind.»of thrush it was because of the meager description. This is an excellent ex- ample of the usual method of deseribing a bird for identification. Nine times out of ten it is impossible to even make a reasonable guess. ; ‘What is the right name for the flower that we call soldiers’ caps?’’ inquires ‘Leona Atwood. This flower has several common names. The one most frequently used is Dutchman's breeches. It is also called white hearts, and ear-drops. .The Latin name, according to Gray, is Dicentra ¢cucullaria,. Mary Sinclair says that she watched a winged ant which kept rolling over and over, When finally it got to its feet’it had left its four wings behind. She wants to know why. Very likely this was a queen ant. It is by means of winged ants that the race is dis- tributed. At a certain time the breeding ants are provided with wings and leave the colony to establish new colonies. After the marriage flight has been made the wings are remov either by other ants or by the queen herself, Apparently this ant you saw was ‘of wings, ?

Her dress ‘ BEAUTY AND YOU HOW TO OVERCOME BLACKHEADS By VIOLA PARIS That most cordially hated of facial blem- ishes, the blackhead, can quickly mar and spoil a naturally fine skin or the fairest of complexions. It is a frequent offender; and yet, why should it be, when it is so unneces- sary? Blackheads aren't a curse under which any of us suffer undeservedly. They may de- velop into acne,and pimples, or lumpy boils; but, in the initial stages, they are—to speak plainly—just facial dirt. Naturally, an oily skin is the more apt to be troubled with blackheads, because the sur- plus oil secretions collect every bit of grime and dust that passes their way. Flakes of makeup harden and become embedded in the pores. A ‘‘whitehead”’ is merely pale and not so grimy blackhead. Rule number one, then, is to keep the skin scrupulously clean. At night, never go to bed without first removing every vestige of powder and make-up. In the morning, you can’t take it for granted that your face is clean simply because you washed it the previous night. Go through the cleansing process again, and you will gee that your skin has been collecting dust particles from even the night air. If possible, your face should have another thorough cleaning some time during the day——preferably when you freshen up before dinner. I hope you all know what a thorough cleaning is. It isn’t a hasty daubing with cold cream and a careless rubbing with a towel. It should mean a complete cleansing of the pores, leaving them free to breathe without any obstructing residue of cream; I have described the process, you remember, in previous articles. Now, if you are already troubled with blackheads, perhaps you find that ordinary methods don't seem to have much effect. In that case, vou can use a more vigorous sys- tem until improvement is noted. Even at the risk of making the skin a little dry in the beginning, the blackheads must be ousted. One particularly good method for stubborn cases is as follows: First, get a small bottle of tincture of green soap—at any pharmacy. This ‘is the basis of your nightly treatment. Wring a clean, rough washcloth out in hot water, and with this apply some of the green soap liquid. Work the soap well into the skin, using a rotary motion. In this way the skin will be softened and most of the blackheads brought to the surface. Next, rinse off the soap with warm water, and examine the skin searchingly, with the aid of a mirror and a good overhead light. The blackheads near the top of the skin may be pressed out— gently, with a-clean towel wound around the ‘fingers so as to protect the skin from bruises. Be sure not to touch any blem- ishes except those on the surface of the skin, and don’t attempt to pinch or coax any un- yielding spot. Leave that place for another time. When you have extracted all of the black- heads that you readily can, steam the face Guickly and lightly with another hot cloth and then rinse the skin with an abundance of cold water. If you have the slightest ten- dency toward enlarged pores, bathe the face with an astringent. (A few drops of tincture ' of benzoin in a bow] of cool water makes an excellent astringent). It is a good plan to apply an antiseptic or medicinal salve to th¢ face, leaving a film of this on overnight. — As a cleanser to remove make-up. during | the day, you will find a greaseless liquid _far better than a heavy cold cream. Soap-— provided it is of the bland vegetable-oil _ Variety——won’t do the slightest harm. Avoid “powder bases’’ or anything that will ob- struct the pores. You may, however® use antiseptic lotions. Rouge, at least for the _time being, should be renounred altogether, ‘and a fine, pure powder used but. lightiy. Pat the powder onto the skin, rather than Pubbing it in, and-then dust off all the sur- pius. Use loose powder, not the compact Hl you might be apt to grind into the pkin. ho i b se all Whenever you are trying to overcome fa- cial blemishes of any sort, you should be particularly careful of your diet. No sweets, heavy pastry, or greasy fried foods; not too many starchy dishes in combination;, no fancy drinks, of either the soda-fountain or the alcoholic sort. Plenty of leafy green vegetables and fruits: wholegrain cereals and bread; and lots of water to drink. clean skin demands perfect inward cleanli- ness. : (Copyright, 10926, by Vogue.) “POPULAR” SONGS What makes a popular song popular is something that is still to be discovered. Good guesses can be made, but they remain guesses. After a melody has hit the public’s fancy, after it is sung and whistled on the street, the reason for its appeal can be de- duced, but before the. song is published, opinions frequently differ. 7 It is likewise true that a man who has put over a big success is not always able to re- peat. It may be that he is a ‘‘one-song”’ man, just as there are ‘“‘one-story” .writers—au- thors who can turn out one yarn that is worth | printing and reading, but who never seem able to duplicate the feat. lyric writer, who made a success with his first venture in the popular-song ‘field, found the going very tough for the next four or five years. Then he had a number of big sellers; he became so successful, in fact, that he could would ‘agree to write words. | ; take his pick of the melodies for which he \ . ‘ he One well-known . Even this shrewd guesser, however, blun- dered in his last two undertakings, in a way. One, song of the two he did not think much of, but the other seemed so certain of popu- larity that he became ‘unusually, enthusiastic. He taught it to a number of vaudeville per- formers, had song pluggers sing it in cabarets and night clubs, advertised it extensively. And all of the performers raved about it almost as much as he did. No one seemed to care much about the other song, however. It was just ‘“‘pretty good.”’ The two songs were published. The one that the lyric writer and his friends liked immensely was a ‘“‘flop’’—it did not appeal to the public at all. But the other song, the one that was thought “pretty good,” sold 800,000 copies. So the lyric writer is still doubtful as to | what makes a popular song popular. And he is not alone in wondering.—Popular Mag- nf zi © *- ° : - ; ° e * “ pik Bias 8 aad Ky i ye a, fait oy a.

A brown girdle went under the blouse in front and tied in back, and the back edges of the dress, slit. all the way down, were edged with wide bands of brown georgette. Her hat and shoes were beige—the hat band, brown. The woman in the middle was neither aunt’s age nor niece's. She wore a printed dress in tones of blue, rose and beige that made her look 28, though, I believe, by the careful use she made of that little detachable scarf, that she was nearer 38.

There are four such slashes on the dress, through which the tie is drawn. On the right side of your fabric you put a little piece of the same material—illus- trated by the right-hand diagram-—~after which you mark the length of your slash with chalk through the middle and machine- stitch on four sides of it, as indicated by the strokes with spaces between. Then, taking a razor blade or a sharp knife—much better for the purpose than scissors—cut along the line of the slash you've marked, not omitting the two tiny branching cuts at each end of it. Now turn your dress over and pull the little piece of material through the slash to the other side. The thing you'll see will be like the middle diagram. Turn under the raw edges, and slip-stitch them down on the lines previously made by the matching stitch- ing. The result, viewed from the right side, will be like the slim diagram number three. Such a dress would be good in semisheer crepe in any becoming shade. Parchment kid slippers and beige stockings complete a cos- tume that is excellent for country wear. (Copyright, 1926, by Vogue a4 | WHERE WASHINGTON CITY GOT ITS START | anil (CONTINUED. FROM PAGE 1.) Broadway of the Metropolis’”—from the Capitol to the White House—and for seven long years, or until almost 1850, Pennsylvania avenue had the distinc- tion of being the only street in Wash- ington lighted at night. | ~ * HILE Pennsylvania avenue was what the boys now call “on the up and up,” getting to be a first-class, well lighted thoroughfare, the Center market was having a let-down. The Na- tional Intelligencer took occasion to point this out in one of its leaders, stat: ing that the Market square was filled with a confused medley of huts and shacks, in the midst of which stood the original building that was still the mar- ket building—‘a long, low structure of frame, with its whitewashed walls and moss-covered roof.” Frame sheds for horses and cattle, cookshops and what- not, grew up apace, until the old mar- ket became an eyesore. It went along this way until the folks of Washington got to complaining about it; and then, one fine night in the year 1870, the whole outfit caught fire and burned— yes, sir, burned to the ground. The National Intelligencer and all] the people of Washington rejoiced. Only for the fact that two young men lost their lives in this conflagration, there might have been a city-wide celebration. There are many men in Washington right now who remember that fire; and a right perk blaze it was, too, with the members of the Perseverance fire de- partment working like trojans. Poor fellows, it wasn’t many years after- wards that their own place burned down. The bell was destroyed, along with the company banners. The In- telligencer thought that “incendiaries of more than ordinary skill had been at work. The bell rope had been cut near- ly in two, and each piece of apparatus was so damaged by the hand of some one having an intimate knowledge of such machinery that it could not be ap- plied to the extinction of the fire until the obstacle had been discovered and remedied.” Like most fires of this nature, the conflagration of 1841 was a blessing in disguise for the Center market. Upon its ashes was erected a greater and finer building that has been improved from time to time until today it stands as one ~ of the greatest markets in the land. All around it have sprung up various and kindred businesses, so that down in the old neighborhood there is still the same activity and bustle that has always characterized that part of Washington. * * * * HE Washington Market Company, under whose supervision the Cen- ter.market is conducted, was incorpo- rated by an act of Congress approved May 2, 1870. Privileges granted the company were for a period of 99 years, with a proviso that at the end of 30 years Congress could authorize the Dis- trict government to take possession of the market property by paying the authorized value. The company was to pay annually $25,000 to the City of Washington, to be expended by the city authorities for relief and support of the poor. The fire that destroyed Center mar- ket, it will be noted, took place after the incorporation of the Washington Mar- ket Company, but before this company took possession of the land and build- ings; so that shortly after the fire Con- gress passed a joint resolution to re- { ° | OIL BURNERS SAVE FURNACE WATCHING The greatest advantage of using oil burn- ers to heat your home lies in the fact that the heat is turned on and off automatically so that the house is always kept within a degree or two of the desired temperature. In all types of mechanical draft oil burners this automatic control is accomplished electrically, explains Popular Science Monthly for Sep- tember. x Upstairs, on the main floor, there is a deli- cate thermostat that goes into action the minute the temperature in the house gets If, for instance, the control is set for 70 degrees and the room cools off to 69 degrees the thermostat im- mediately closes an electric contact that starts up the oil burner in the cellar. Most of the newer types of oil burners are said to be surprisingly quiet in operation. What noise there is usually consists of the ‘hum of the motor plus the sound of the blower—about the noise of an ordinary elec- tric fan. But the amount of noise depends entirely on the type of heating plant and the location of the burner. Oj] burners of various types differ from one another not only in the methods of con- . , az i 4 \ . verting oil into gas and mixing it with air, but also in the method of burning the ofl-gas after it is introduced into the fire box. HE AGREED WITH THE JURY. A slightly deaf old man who had been mak- ing whisky all his life was finally picked up and arraigned under the drastic Colorado still possession law. The jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of guilty. “Old man,” said his lawyer, ‘‘the jury says you are guilty.” ; “Hey?” . “The jury says you are guilty,’’ he repeated loudly in his ear. “In what degree?’”’ “There is no degree in a still case.’’ ‘Guilty all over, then?’’ ‘*Yes,’’ shouted the lawyer. | ‘‘Wel,, that’s what I told you in the first place, but you said you could clear me.

By Christmas of the year 1870 the old place was bustling again, the temporary buildings used for about a year and a half while the permanent buildings were being erected. On July 1, 1872, the market men came into possession — of their new quarters—and most of them have been there ever since. It looks now as ‘if the market will be moved.

Trivial! & ° f Pl leh Lh il Tce MM runs OIS ROMER sat in the glow of the orange reading lamp. book in hand, apparently engrossed in its con- tents. But the printed words were little black imps, bobbing up and down. blurring together in a jum- bled mass. The effort of trying to concentrate on the misty, wavery, jumpy page made her head ache. She closed the book finally, and frankly gave herself over to lis- tening for the ring of the telephone. If only Ralvh would call! It had been five weeks since they had quar- reled—-and parted. Neither one of them had relented. Each was holding. out for peace terms to be offered by the other. No armi- stice could be arranged, or truce declared, until that time, apparently. Lois, crumpled up in the big chair, a dejected little figure, mulled over the whole affair as she had been doing, evening after weary evening, during all these weeks of separation. A telephone call had started all the trou- ‘ble then—as now that jangling little bell could clear up everything. One evening, five weeks ago. Ralph had invited Lois to a dinner he was giving for friends of his just arrived from Pittsburgh. Jack Fanning, Ralph’s par- ticular chum, and Jack’s fiance, Adele Lorrie, were to be among the guests. Lois took par- ticular pains dressing for the dinner, which was to be followed by a box party at the the- ater. She wanted Ralph to be proud of her. She selected to wear for the occasion a crisp black taffeta dinner dress which revealed her white throat and arms. Her topaz pendant, which Ralph. with his gift for similes, had likened to a ‘‘Creole’s tear,’’ was the only jewelry she wore. She waved her fair hair carefully. and slicked it back tight above her high forehead in the way Ralph liked it best. She felt a bit unclothed with her ears show- ing, now that the prevailing hairdressing style permitted those worthy appendages to come out from hiding. Just a tiny dab of Jacque- minot rose scent on her eyebrows and behind her ears, another swift flourish of her powder puff, and she was ready. Her reflection in the mirror satisfied her, and she smiled back at it. Her brother, unobserved by her, was watch- ing the little scene, now more than ever con- Scious of his sister’s extreme femininity. ‘‘Narcissa!”’ He called out the name suddenly, teas- ing her. And his sister had blushed, leaned over and smacked his face sharply. “You know very well I’m not in the least vain, Walter Romer,” she chided him, with mock severity. And that young man, wise in the ways of women, replied: “T understand, Sis. You love your image only because it will please the king.”’ Then the phone bell had rung——that fate- ful call-—and Lois had hurried to answer it. “Must be Ralph calling to tell me he'll be late; he’s due to call for me now,” she re- marked to her brother, as she walked toward the extension phone. “Hello, Ralph, old dear. Oh, fine, great! I feel like pushing over a mountain. What's that? Oh--—-why—a_ sick friend! What's that? Why—what.do you expect me to Say ——except that you might have contrived, with a slight effort, to be a trifle more original. May I also add that your friend picked just about the zero hour to collect a congested lung? Tomorrow night? My dear boy, your _ friend might need you to operate a pulmotor tomorrow. How can J tell?.1'll take no more chances. Good-by.’’'. Click! Even the telephone seemed to snap back into the hook with an angry jangle. “Why, Lois Romer, you sarcastic little cat!’’ cried her brother. “Can’t a man cance] an engagement without being -tongue-lashed by a sweet girl turned vixen?” But Lois hadn’t stopped for a retort. She had walked right to her own room and closed the door behind her. An hour later a crumpled mass of taffeta and tears was still lying on the bed, reduced now to a few weak and subsiding sobs, a sniffle-or two, a drench- ed-lace handkerchief and a mottled complex- jon, where the trickling tears had plowed their hot course through the thin coating of powder. She remembered how she had sat up in hed and laughed, half hysterically, when her brother had entered her room. holding out a large plate piled high with a cheese-covered, Zarlic-scented mass. “Here, have some spaghetti, Sis,’’ he had said in the somewhat abashed and boyish way he had when he felt particularly loving toward his sister. All he had received for his trouble was reproach. “Walter Romer, how ghastly! My beauti- ful romance all ruined up, and you bring me a spaghetti. | need food for my soul or my Spirit, or my heart—or something—and you think only of gross, material needs. Spa- ghetti! Ugh. Take it away, and leave me alone.”’ ; She had burst into tears again, and this time her brother had shaken her. “For Pete’s sake, Lois, use your bean' You’re not a kid any more. Only high-school flappers weep over busted dates these days. This is liable to happen to any one. What did Ralph say? I gathered that a friend’s illness broke up the party? Well, what's a party, anyhow? You go to plenty of ’em, and you'll go. to plenty more. Why act so altogether smashed over this one? Was H. R. H. the Prince of Wales going to be there?’”’ Now, after five weeks had passed, she was beginning to see things somewhat as her brother, Walter, had that evening. She had a better perspective now. Let enough time elapse after a crash of any kind and the trouble seems less monumental. Trivial! But why had she been so upset about it at the time? She wasn’t a mental lightweight. Or a kid any more. Why be s0 caved in over a broken date? Parties weren’t so rare in her life but that she could afford to miss a few. No, it wasn’t the broken date that had angered her. It was Ralph’s casual way of treating her, breaking an ap- pointment with her in such a graceless, off- hand way. Now if only he had sent flowers and a note of explanation. But no. Only a few ‘laconic, hurried words over the tele- phone, Beastly of him! Of what little con- sequence she was in his life, after all. A ‘more or less unimportant man friend, like that Roger Hastings, counted for more. A man who could chuck a dinner party for spe- cial guests and his sweetheart for a sick friend couldn’t be depended upon. Or— after all—did that action mean he could? A **.rock? ates A fine, firm friend in an emergency? man who considered a friend in need of 4 = oA) vre importance than a social obligation? b A*man who could place the proper valuation upon things, make quick and hard decisions, risk a friendship for a duty? Or was this too magnanimous an attitude to assume? After all, what proof had she that there had even’ been a sick friend? ‘Mean suspicion lurked in oné corner of her mind. And was as swiftly pushed aside by common sense. Ridiculous to imagine such a thing! And yet —yet—-Ralph had made no effort toward a reconciliation. Perhaps there was another girl—perhaps Adele Lorrie had brought a friend along from Pittsburgh, an attractive creature to whose blandishments Ralph had succumbed. Lois bit her lip. What a cat she was to even. imagine such a thing! Well, then, why @dn't he call? Did he think by any chance _ he'd weaken and call him? Never! * And so $m circles, like little dancing mice. —— so sits ih ri ts kept scurrying around Think- a ing over the whole affair only complicated matters—sent her into a maze of baffling conjecture. She thought of the green, wind- ing hedge at Mount Vernon, Washington’s beautiful old home, and how she had been lost in the maze one day last summer. Now her weary, muddled thoughts formed the same kind of a blockade. If only she could stop thinking—and listening. The telephone bell rang suddenly, insist- ently. Lois’ book fell to the floor as she jumped up to answer. Lottie Farrell’s voice. How high and squeaky it soynded! ‘Yes, Lottie, dear. I’d love to come to your party next Thursday night. Oh, thank you, yes. I’m sure Wal- lie’d love it, especially if your cousin, Sue, is to be there. Good-bye.” cre Lois walked slowly back to her big arm- chair. This, then, was the end! Intuition told her that Ralph would never call her up. There was something unyielding, some- thing adamant in his ‘nature, that would prevent him from telephoning her under the circumstances. She knew he felt that:he had been right, she wrong. So the first move would have to come from her. And she was pretty thoroughly convinced—though less so now than five weeks ago—that she had been somewhat shabbily treated... Her pride had prevented her from telephoning him. Now, after five weeks, it was too late. ‘Take care, my dear, before it is too late!”’ It was uncanny the way her mother stand- ing in the doorway was echoing her thoughts. She arose swiftly, offered her chair. Gene- vieve Romer sank into it gracefully, a bit wearily. ‘‘How is dad, mother darling?’’ Lois asked anxiously, closely scanning her mother’s face. ‘‘He’s a bit better, dear. But still. rest- less. And so eager for companionship. You ought to drop in to his room oftener, read to him a little. I’ve sent for Aunt Lois. He asked especially to see her. But I didn't come to talk about your father. I came to talk to you about you, Lois, my pet. And to warn you to take care, before it is too late.’’ “What do you mean by that cryptic re- mark, mother?’’ Genevieve Romer, looking especially hand- some in a henna-colored gown of soft, cling- ing silk, her black hair peppered with white, drawn back from her finely molded forehead, smiled. And the smile was slow and sad. . Lois had always thought her mother one. se th eA ot ‘ baie se tm b, > d - bea + 4 ~ OF Wag try ey AU A Ua i ? Pye SY mee * a ala Ri Aspe, taht Wm.

Tonight she seemed particularly so to the girl’s ad- mining eyes. “Sit down, story.” “A bedtime story, mother?’’ mocked the girl. ‘Is this your way of making me drowsy and sending me to bed because you think I’m still mooning about Ralph?’’ “Not a bedtime story—a lovetime story,” said the older woman. This time she did not smile. Her face was grave, ang her dark, deep-set eyes seemed to be looking back along a memory lane. In her low- pitched, strangely soothing voice she began her story in an old, quaint way. “Once upon a time, many years ago, there was a charming young girl. She was very much in love with a good-looking, well-born voung man. And she had every reason to be- lieve that he adored her. One night he in- vited her to a party, a big week-end affair at the home of an uncle of his. There was to be a fine ball, and horseback riding, and all sorts of gayety. The girl was thrilled, and spent days getting her pretty things ready for the important event. There was a gorgeous flowered silk frock to finish, riding habit ac- cessories to accumulate, a new handbag to be selected. And her curls had to be sham- pooed and fussed over, and her hands made prettier than they were, and new sachet bags to be cut and sewed. “Finally the great day arrived, and the girl was all a-flutter with happy excitement. And as she shook out her stunning flowered yellow silk to show a group of admiring girl friends, a messenger rode up on horseback and brought her a note. It was from her young man, telling her that he was mighty sorry, but he couldn’t escort her to the party. His brother had been taken suddenly ill—— pleurisy—-and his home was all upset by the catastrophe. His mother was too frail and excitable to handle the situation; he would have to remain with her. He was so sorry, so sorry, but wouldn’t his little girl forgive him and understand? “But I am sorry to relate that his little -gir] wouldn’t—and didn’t. She sent back a hastily scrawled note, written in the first hot ‘flush of her angry disappointment. It was short, not sweet, but very, very snippy. And it had the note of finality. ‘ “‘l never want to see you again,’ that Fes le yous Lois.

But her pride prevented it. And the young man was just as proud, and just as stubborn. He loved that fair-haired girl with the pep- pery temper, but he couldn’t bring himself to kneel at her chariot wheels. He felt that she had been unreasonable—and she had been- and he was hurt at her one-line missive of dismissal. So there was a deadlock. ‘‘The girl wept in the arms of her mother, on the shoulders of her girl friends. They told her to stop being a little silly, and apolog- ize. She sniffed, and flung herself out of (heir embrace, and became a trifle harder than she was before. “On moonlight nights, when silver shad- ows were filigreed across the piazza and the sweet scent of magnolia blossoms was in the air—this girl’s home was in the South—she sat in the wide French window of her bed- room and looked out across her father’s grounds to the young man’s home down a stretch of the road. And she saw a light in his window, and wondered whether he was thinking sad, sweet thoughts about her. “Then one day, about a year later, that foolish, fair-hairéd girl was stabbed to the heart by a bit of news brought to her by a friend: The young man of the lover’s quarrel was going to marry another girl, a Georgia girl he’d met while on a visit to relatives in Atlanta. Weeks of anguish, and then, the wedding! The ironic fates so decreed that the fair-haired girl should be invited to the wedding, and her pride made her attend, She bore up very well under the circumstances, smiling every time the occasion demanded it. Only her girl chums knew something of what she was suffering. But when the last satin slipper and the last handful of rice had been tossed at the bridal pair riding away in the ribbon-decked carriage, the girl burst into ssobs, and ran down the lane back of the ram- bling old home of the bridegroom where the wedding had taken place, and rushed to her own home, to her own room, where she was free to sob out her heart among friendly pillows. “And the days that followed were days of sad regrets.

WHY DIDN'T SHE SPEAK BEFORE? An Episcopal bishop, at a dinner recently, was seated next to a beautiful young lady. When the lobster was served he left it un- touched, and the young lady, noticing it, in- quired the reason. ‘‘My dgar young lady,’ said the bishop, ‘‘I suffer terribly from dyspepsia and even to taste such food would mean untold agony.” The bishop had hardly uttered these words when he started suddenly and a deathly pallor overspread his face. ‘Why, Bishop, what seems to be the mat- ter?’’ said his companion, alarmed. “This is terrible,’’ gasped the bishop. _*Something I have dreaded for years has at last come upon me.

But-thev had to be very careful not to get in the way of the people on the circus lot, because they might easily have been stepped on. They reached the lot in time to see Bimbo, the elephant, treating the crowds of people to a shower of peanuts from a booth nearby. The people on the lot were every direction: bumping into and stepping on each other's toes. But Bimbo, the elephant, was paying them no attention whatever. He was standing quite still in the middle of the lot, swinging his huge body from side to side, and waving his trunk about in the air, and squealing with joy, as he saw what a commotion he was causing among the crowds of people on the lot. Scalawag Bunny Tot reached him first. and was running amuck, running in each other, was the one who It happened that Scalawag had been making particular friends of this same big elephant. by earrying him small buckets of water, and bringing him apples he f' olfer | Maribor if Maye!o~ eg aktorble, MY ¢ ), fsa: ek, nh; i it Mh Me A) id'h ih ‘called him after and bits of cake, and things like that which the old elephant liked very, very much. Weil, Scalawag ran right over in front of that biz elephant, and he got an empty tuh, which he rolled over right in front of where old Bimbo stood. Then he put a cracker box on top of the tub, while the crowds of people looked on, and then Master Scalawag just climbed up on top of that crackér box, and gave that old elephant the worst tongue- lashing, I guess, that any elephant ever got anywhere, anyhow, or any place—you may be certain. : That is one thing vou may be certain of, and another is that you never ever did see anything mu6h funnier than the sight of that tiny Bunny Tot, standine on the top of a soap box, laying down the law to that big elephant! Scalawag was just Perfectly furious! ‘How dare you!’’ he wes saying to old Bimbo. “How dare you go on a rampage that way, and break up a_ perfectly good lemonade stand, and scare all of these folks here into conniption§ fits, and--and—!"’ And here Scalawag ran out of both words and breath at the sametime. And, when he had stopped talking, and stood there shaking his tiny fist in the elephant’s face, why—Old Bimbo just reached out his trunk; caught Master Scalawag around the waist; set him care- fully on the top of his awn head, where the ‘‘mahout’” usually rides, and. then went marching off to his stall in the menagerfe tent, where the keepers came and fastened him up with heavier chains; so that that rampage was over, and Master Scalawag Bunny Tot was the hero of the circus, and, incidentally, what the circus bills always that: “The Youngest, and Smallest Wild Klephant Tamer in the World.” Scalawag took over the taming of the most unruly elephants. after that, and they do say that he used to accomplish wonderful things with a good deal of lumps of sugar.

Since your father’s death our financial means dre very limited and I am anxious for you both to go on with your study of music, and now that Herr Vogel is coming to our town for the coming winter, I feel it's your only chance.”’ Marjorie, who was 16 years of age, well built and very pretty, her big, blue eyes aglow with excitement, put her arms around her mother’s neck and said, ‘‘Mother, dear, you know Helen and I are good Scout girls and a summer in the outdoors will mean so much to Our health and strength.”’ Helen, who was two years younger, went to the other side of her mother and with her arms around her mother and with a sweet smile on her face, said, ‘‘Mother, dear, with health and strength we can do so much more with our study next fall. We are sure to some day With our talent to do great things.” Mrs. Hayward, with her face wreathed in smiles, said, ‘“‘My darling children, I do be- lieve it is in you both to do great things with your music.

As they journeved they talked brightly of what they would do on the ranch; they had never been on a ranch and only knew from their book learning what they would do in this far-away place. Marjorie said, ‘I want to learn to lasso.”’ Helen said, “I want to learn how to ride like the wind and to shoot.’’ They traveled day and night and as they were nearing their uncle's ranch, Marjorie said, “‘Helen, did you see that awful looking picture at the station of the bandit, ‘Rough Tim?” Helen said, ‘‘Yes, I hope we won't see many like him out here, though if we could capture him we would win the reward of $500."’ Marjorie laughed heartily and_ said, ‘*! think it would take some one rougher than Rough Tim to capture him.’’ So they talked happily while on their way to Uncle Tom's ‘and as the train stopped at the station they saw a very tall man with laughter all over his face, looking about for some one, and Marjorie and Helen ran to him and said, “We know you, Uncle Tom, for you are just like our papa was,’’ and he put “arm avouvnd each of us and said. ‘ Well, here are Dick's girls come to see me.” avy ttda a detighttul time on the ranch and ina short time they had learned to ride. shoot, lasso and do many things they had no idea they could ever do. After being on the ranch for about two months Marjorie said one day to Helen, ‘‘Let’s take our lunch and go on a picnic.” When Uncle Tom had warned them of the many dangers, he slipped into their rooms and unloaded their guns. In a short time the two sisters started off on horses, They were dréfsed in true Wrest- ern style and carried their supposedly loaded guns, their lasso and a good bit of |untch. They rode on for miles delighted by seeing new sights and enjoying the West as~—they two dear had never done before. \ ‘WAS a Finally they-became hungry and pointing to an immense haystack in the distance, Mar- jorie said, “Let's stop there and eat.’’ On reaching it. they dismounted and prepared to eat a good lunch. They ate heartily and laughed merrily. as happy as two Western girls could be. When they had finished Mar- jorie said, “If we ran around this haystack | know I could get back here first.” Helen said, ‘‘Let’s try it; you go one way and I will go the other.” So off they started. and just as they got half-way around both girls stopped short, for there sitting on the ground was a rough-looking tramp, his back up against the haystack, his head dropped on his chest, fast asleep. Marjorie put her finger to her mouth and motioned Helen to go back, and almost at the same time both girls softly whispered, “Rough Tim.” Helen said, ‘‘Let’'s capture him.’’ and at once Marjorie began to fix her lasso. Quietly they walked around. again and Marjorie threw the loop over his head and ran to a tree nearby and began pulling the rope and closed his arms down so he could not use them, for he immediately opeaed his eyes and even tried to work, his way out, but the two girls worked hard because they thought that if he got away now he would certainly make them suffer. After they had him tied fast Marjorie said, ‘Helen, you have learned to ride fast, go to the road and get help, and I will stay here. You know I have mv gun.”’ Soon some men passed and Helen had two of them follow her, while one went for the sheriff. When they arrived upon the scene there was Marjorie with her gun pointed at Rough Tim, while she was telling him how much happier he would be if he would live a different life. When Uncle Tom arrived he walked over and picked up the gun and said, ‘You people here have been trying to capture Rough Tim for a year with vour loaded guns, and you let two little girls from the East come out here and take him with an unloaded gup.’’ Marjorie and Helen said, ‘“‘Why, Uncle Tom, our guns are ldaded.”’ Uncle Tom said, ‘‘No, my children, | was afraid you might not Know when to use a loaded gun, so I unloaded them before you left home.”’ The sheriff said, “You girls have won the reward.” Helen said, ‘‘I had am gilad.”’ Uncle Tom said, “‘When you leave for home I will double the reward.’’ In a few weeks they gladly sent word to their dear mother that they were coming home, ready to start their study under the direction of Herr Vogel.

Now first of all an old man Received it from a bank, And all the pennies he ever had He took them home to Frank. A spendthrift, alas, Frank was, So, of course, be did not save. He bought a @ick of chewing gum And divided it with Dave. The storekeeper gave this nice new penny To a woman among her change, For she had purchased an interesting book Entitled ‘‘Rudder Grange.” \ When she was walking down the street Her pocketbook came open, The penny rolled into the gutter, Just as a child was hopin’. After he went and picked it up, It wasn’t so very clean, But he slipped it into his little pocket And said, ‘‘This is luck, I mean."’ But it wasn’t so much luck after all, For alas, his pocket was worn,. And the copper dropped out of a hole Which had been previously torn. Many, many days passed by Until it became a year, That the penny lay amid the dust, But no one thinking it near. Finally a little girl came by,. She spied it while at play, She immbdiately took it to her home, To save for a ‘rainy day.” VIOLET YASSELL (age 13). 3927 Jenifer street northwest. ‘Let us play we were married,”’ said jittle Edith, ‘and I'll bring my dolly, and say, ‘See baby, papa?’”’ : eee , “Yes,” replied Johnny; “and I'll say, ‘Don't bother me now—I want to look’ through the paper.’" _ oer ee ee . - ‘2 ml Sine of) stein each week is meeting with great success. Many poems, stories and drawings are fre- ceived in these contests and I am thankful to say that they are generally of high merit. In trying for these prizes always remember that originality counts greatly in awardiffg them. The grand pr. e for September will be xiven for the best essay of not more than 509 words received by August 28 on the topic, “The Benefits a Citizen Receives From the Constitution of the United States.’’ Get a copy of the Constitution and study it and tell in your own words just how it protects a citizen. If you care to include some of the historical matter about the Constitution that is acceptable, but the main thing wanted. is an understanding of the benefits received hy citizens under the Con- stitution.

(Honorable Mention. ) As I stood there I viewed a sight That had, in beauty, reached its height, A sight that was so very rare That only God could have placed it there.

Simply get an ounce of Othine trom any drug or department store and apply a little of it night and morning and you should sec that even the worst freckles have he- gun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely. It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to cdm- pletely ciear the skin and gain a beautiful complexion. Re sure to ask for double strength Othine as this is sold under guarantce of money back if it fails to remove your freckles. For here is no ordinary ginger ale that owes its popularity simply to a pleasing flavor—but a real ginger ale, made from real Jamaica ginger.
