LETTER CALLED GRAY LOVABLE LITTLE CUSS Male Codefendant Is More Sprightly Than on Other Days of Trial. New York, May 2 (By A. P.),—After more than five hours of cross-exarhina- tion by two attorneys, Mrs. Ruth Brown. Snyder was still on the witness stand protesting the truth of her third version of the murder of her husband when court recessed today. The blonde widow of Albert Snyder, magazine art editor, slain in his Queens Village home March 20, broke into tears once and several times flashed angry answers back at her questioners, but throughout the day of grilling she clung to her story that Henry Judd Gray, her corset salesman paramour, plotted to kill and did murder her hus- band without her aid and against her wishes. The cross-examination began shortly after court opened after the week-end pause. William Millard, of counsel for Gray, her codefendant, began it. When he concluded Charles Froessel, of the district attorney’s staff, began ham- mering at Mrs. Snyder’s third version. Froessel had not finished when court recessed. | Cries Describing the Killing. Mrs. Snyder wept once, when she got to that part of her story that described Gray besiae her husband’s bed, beating him with a sash weight. She cried at the same place during her direct exam- ination Friday. Millard, after pounding away at the details of Mrs. Snyder’s third version, suddenly asked her if she had ever taken part in a prearranged plan to procure witnesses in a divorce action. She thought a moment. Millard held in his hand a letter. Composing her countenance, Mrs. Snyder said, “I did. Millard then introduced into evi- dence a& letter Mrs, Snyder ideritified as the one she wrote to Gray. February 28. This letter was then. reat to the jury. “Well, darling,” it said, “the whole works went over beautifully. Of course. it was all prearranged and took place at 101 East First street, the worst neighborhood in New York. I was scared. most to death, and if you ever saw the woman you'd die of fright, too. Such a coldblooded way of doing things. But it went over as intended and we were five in all, just witnesses—and that was plenty, too Mad at the “G.” she Wrote. “Had another battle with the G. (this initial, it was previously explain- ‘ed, meant “Governor,” the name ‘by which Gray and Mrs. Snyder referred to Albert Snyder). Darn fool. I’m mad.” Another letter from Mrs. Snyder to Gray, offered by the State, described Gray as “a lovable little cuss,” and said: “I could just eat you all up.” Both cross-examinations began with details of the third version of the mur- der Mrs. Snyder has given. It was em- phasized by both that Gray could not have obtained the $96,000 insurance on Albert Snyder’s life unless he got it from Mrs.. Snyder. She previously had said that Gray’s motive was this insur- ance. Asked how she thought Gray would. have collected the insurance. Mrs. Snyder said: “He would have got it out of me just like he got other money.” She referred to several hun- dred dollars she said Gray had bor- rowed, but hadn’t repaid. She Paid the Premiums. The cross brought out that Mrs. Snyder paid the premiums on the insurance, and kept in a safe deposit box the policies, receipts and cancelled checks. The State endeavor- ed to learn whether Albert Snyder had knowledge that his life was insured by two policies aggregating $50,000, amounting to $96,000 in case of death by accident by virtue of a double in- demnity clause, but this point was not made clear by Mrs. Snyder. The State maintained, as did Gray’s counsel, that Albert Snyder signed blank policies. Mrs. Snyder's answers also left this point vague. But the State, through thundering questions from Assistant District Attorney Froes- sel, established that nearly one-half of the weekly allowance of $85 that Al- bert Snyder gave her out of his $115 weekly salary was required to pay life insurance premiums. Mrs. Snyder satd’ she did not know she. was the bene- ficlary of these policies, but retracted this statement when Froessle ridi- culed it. Mrs. Snyder’s assertion that she tried, after making two premium payments. to cancel the policies and finally de- cided to maintain them, for ‘three years in order to collect their cash sur- render value, also was subjected to close. examination. Froessel pointed: out to her that she would be paying $2,612 to collect $650. Mrs. Snyder said the matter had not been explained to her that way... Evidence wes adduced by counsel for Mrs, Snyder to show that she had Zen 44 (CONTINUED ON.

President Coolidge yesterday person- ally appealed to the nation. to increase. its contribution for the stricken popu- lation in the wake of the Mississippi flood to a minimum of $10,000,000, fol- lowing a conference with Secretary Hoover, who returned from a visit to the inundated territory earlier in the day. The President’s plea for additional funds was issued soon after an an- nouncement from national headquar- ters of the Red Cross, which asked every local chapter in the country to double its quota for relief work. In his procla- mation the chief executive drew atten- tion to the fact that “because of the vast increase in the flooded area, the sum already called for will prove in- sufficient” and emphasized the necessity of doubling quotas originally assigned as a minimum to the various commu- nities. He concluded his appeal by urfg- ing all citizens “to give promptly and most generously, so that sufficient funds may be received to alleviate the suffer- ing among so many thousands.” Coolidge Issue Proclamation. The text of President Coolidge’s pro- clamation follows: To the People of the United States: “The situation in the Mississippi val- ley has developed into a grave crisis affecting a wide area in several. States. There are now more than 200,000 flood refugees who have been driven from their homes. This number is being in- creased daily as fresh breaks in the levees inundate the country on either to points of safety. “These refugees are being fed, ehel- tered and clothed by the American Red (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COLUMN 2.) German Woman Held As Spy by England London, May 2 (By A. P.).—Consider- able mystery surrounds a pretty young German typist, 28 years old, who was prosecuted today under the name of “Ethel Chiles” for conspiring to obtain a British passport under false pretenses, but who Scotland Yard claims has been “engaged in espionage against a friend- ly foreign power.” She was sentenced to two months imprisonment and rec- ommended for deportation to Germany The woman refused to talk, and po- lice gave no details of the alleged ea- pionage. She is said to have been in numerous countries since 1295, includ- ing Canada. Police said her real name was Kate Gussfeldt. Princess Juliana, 18, Now in Privy Council The Hague, May 2 (By A. P.).—With Queen Wilhelmina presiding, Princess Juliana, who attained her majority last Saturday, today was ceremoniously in- ducted to the privy council in whieh she is entitled to membership by vir- tue of reaching the age of 18. HINER 7 WOLD MTC LOANS FOR MILITARY PURPOSES ABROAD Limit Foreign Lending to Productive Aims. LAMONT HITS RASH SCRAMBLE BY BANKS Morgan Partner Says Exces- sive Offerings of Funds Are Demoralizing. A new policy covering international loans was proposed yesterday by Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover in an address before the third Pan-American confer- ence in the Pan-American Union build- ing. Nations should be granted logns only when they propose to use the money for. prodyctive enterprise, Secretary Asserts America Should] side of the river driving the inhabitants. Hoover said. They should not be granted loans, he said, when they plan to use the bor- rowed money for military equipment or for war purposes. Secretary Hoover, who hurried here from the scene of the great Mississippi flood, was given an ovation when he .took the speaker’s stand, and another when he enunciated his loan policy. - “There could be no greater step taken in the prevention of war itself,” the Commerce head said, regarding his pro- posed policy, and “a great number of blessings would follow to the entire world.” Lamont Scores Rash Lending. Secretary Hoover’s speech might very well have been aimed at a group of American bankers and firms which was described last night by Thomas W. La- mont, member of the J. Pierpont Mor- gan Co., of New Loxk. Mr. Lamont spoke at the dinner ten- dered the delegates by the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce, taking as his topic, “America’s Foreign In- vestments.” Calling attention to the need of avoiding lending,” he said: “I have in mind the reports that I have recently heard of American pank- ers and firms competing on almost a violent scale for the purpose of obtain- ing loans in various foreign money markets, overseas. Naturally it is a tempting thing for certain of the Eu- ropean governments to find a horde of American bankers sitting on their door- steps offering them money. “It is rather demoralizing for mu- nicipalities and corporations in the same countries to have money pressed upon them. That sort of competition tends to insecurity and unsound prac- tice.” Would Expedite Trade. The delegates from the 21 Pan- American republics yesterday moved to achieve one of the purposes of their conference—the removal of consular and customs regulations that now form barriers to the smooth flow of trade among the various countries. The delegates of Mexico and Brazil took the initiative in this matter. They introduced a resolution calling for the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLUMN 7.)

ER BOY'S BODY FOUND IN RIVER, SEWED IN OACK Fredericksburg Lad’s Legs Broken, Hand Cut Off and Skull Fractured. MISSING SINCE FEB. 22 Fredericksburg, Va., May 2.—The body of Albert Baker, 9-year-old boy, missing from his home here since Feb- ruary 22, was found in the Rappahan- nock river 6 miles from here this after- noon by two fishermen. The body was |- in a badly mutilated condition and was tied in a bag and weighted down with rocks, but the sack and its contents had been washed ashore. Brought to this city by police officers, the body was identified by the lad’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. Y. Baker. tion was positive. The lad’s body was horribly: mutilated, both legs being broken and his right hand entirely sev- ered and missing from the bag. His skull was. fractured. Mayor J. Garnett King has called in two detectives to aid local police in an effort to solve the crime. The boy dis- appeared in the afternoon from one of the principal streets of the city, leaving not the slightest trace. After a local hunt had proved fruitless, the search was extended until it reached nation-wide proportions. Police in hundreds of. cities maintained a lookout for-the boy. Radio stations broadcast the story of his strange disappearance and people far and near took a deep interest in-the baffling case. Fortune tellers and clairvoyants. dial in vain to.throw some light on the mys- tery. Rewards totaling $600 were of- fered for the return of the boy, and Gov. Harry F. Byrd, moved by the pathetic case, issued an appeal to the people of the State to aid in the search. For more than two months since the boy vanished his parents have held steadfast to the belief that he would be found. A few weeks after the lad disappearéd, his grandmother, who lived with. the Baker family, died from a clot on the brain brought on by worry and anxiety over the loss of her grandson. : The parties who committed the crime concealed it successfully until today. It is now generally believed that the Baker boy was struck an an automobile, and the parties, fearing prosecution, picked up his body and later disposed of it inthe river. A thorough investi- gation is being conducted in the hope of finding the guilty parties. X-Ray ‘Reveals Liquor Under Hay int Wagon Los Angeles, May 2 (By A. P.).—Pro- |.

STRAY SHOT KILLS MAN IN GIRL’S LAP Victim Riding in a Crowded Roadster in Main Street of Jersey Town, Bradley Beach, N. J.. May 2 (By A. P.).—A stray shot today was believed by police to have caused the death of Arnold Bennett, 19, of Belmare, who was shot while riding on the lap of a girl companion in a crowded road- ster in Main street. Police swung to the theory of a stray shot when they were unable to learn of any possible motive for the shooting.. The party of five persons were returning from an American Legion dance in Belmar. As they passed the Palace theater in the heart of the town’s business section, a shot rang out. William J. Donigan, 20, of Belmar, who was driv- ing, thought .a tire had blown out. Mary Martin, 17, of Neptune, who was holding Bennett on her lap discovered blood on her sleeve and screamed that something had happened to him. He died before a hospital could be reached. A bullet entered the base of‘the skull, severing the spinal cord. FEDERALSHIP ORDERED SEIZED AGAIN BY U. S. Rum Ship, Previously Cleared, Was Preparing to Put to Sea in Pacific. San Francisco, May 2 (By A. P.).— Henry E. Farmer, acting collector of customs, announced today that he had been ordered by Lincoln C. Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to “retain and hold” the Canadian liquor carrier Federalship.. No reason for the action was given in the message, which was communicated to George J. Hat- field, United States district attorney. The Federalship was to have cleared port tomorrow technically to sail- for Buena Véntura, Colombia, with her $1,000,000 liquor cargo. She was seized by coast guard vessels last March while 270 miles off the California coast. The Federal court declared the seizure “sheer transgression,” and ordered the release of the ship, her crew and cargo. The Federalship is operated under Panamanian registry.

The blanket indictments were said to have been returned because all five, who were members of the Holly- wood drinking party at which Kerrick was shot, appeared before the grand jury with conflicting versions of the shooting. ; ‘The witnesses were reported as cer- tain only that large quantities of liquor were imbibed at the party, prior to the slaying o Kerrick.

CIVIL SERVICE DATA PROTECTED BY COURT Appeals Tribunal Upholds the Ruling Against Inspection by Dr. Stowell. The records of the civil service com- mission are not public records and may not be inspected by any citizen or taxpayer without permission either from the commission or the President of the United States, according to a de- cision yesterday by the District of Co- lumbia Court of Appeals. The decision affirms the decree of the lower court by which Dr. Ellery C. Stowell, president of the Better Gov- ernment league, of this city, was re- fused a writ. of mandamus against the ‘commission to compel the latter to either permit him to inspect the records or furnish him with a list of tempo- rary employes under the classified serv- ice. " The commission offered two princi- pal objections to Dr. Stowell’s demand One objection’ was that the commis- sion is a board of advisers to tie Presi- dent and hence as agents of the Presi- dent were not subject to orders from any court. The other objection was that it was impracticable and that it was a nuisance to permit the inspection desired by Dr. Stowell, not only because of the lack of means to expedite such an inspection but because many of the records contained confidential ose tion.

It was as spearheads that the four planes in all came from Langley field as company for the good-will fillers on the last leg of their trip. Once they had brought the distinguished fliera over the field and back again they withdrew and scattered in the .gray splotched clouds as a bunch of runaway mothers’ apron strings. - Bolling field, now alive with the purring motors from aircraft of every conceivable design, gathered here for the National Aeronautical association's exhibition, was preparing for the recep- tion hours long before the fliers ar- rived. Gay, bunting and the flags of all nations, with those to the South predominating, flung easily in the rip- pling breeze. They were hung from the frame buildings that dot the field, from the stand which had been set up for the President, and in profusion from a that lay up against the sky. Thousands of people came early to the field by special invitation and otherwise and made several tiers of automobiles to lie just off the wide landing field. Diplomats from all the South and Central American countries, their formal black frock contrasting with the gaudy hued uniforms of their military attaches, were seated on an improvised stand just back of that pres pared for the President. There, too, sat the wives of five of the returning Dargue. The khaki-clad force that is maintained at the field was all on duty, directing traffic and maintaining mille tary lines. Salute Prematurely Boomed. There was an erroneous report that the President and his party were come ing at about 4:30 o’clock and the artillery boomed its 2l-gun salute. As it developed the President and Mra. War Davis, Secretary of State Kellogg rived just as the filers appeared. The artillery was not caught shorte handed of ammunition, however, for its guns spoke another salute. Maj. Gen. Charles P.

The President came to etand alone on the steps of his stand as the filers got directly over the field and friendly clouds shuffled over to screen the sun, which was directly in the eye.

Determined efforts to rid the con struction industry of practices which cause building operations to suffer un- necessary costs and delays soon are to be made. This was indicated last night at a session of the conference of construction experts being held this week under the auspices of the Asso- ciated General Contractors of America at the Washington hotel. Speakers emphasized the fact that all eléments of the construction in- dustry share with the building public in violations of generally accepted rules of ethical practice and sound business conduct. “The construction industry is the q most highly competitive industry in the + United States,” declared D. A. Garber, 4 7 “4 New York, “and the responsibility for many existing conditions was placed ‘upon this fact.” “No code of ethical practice can be set up and adhered to by general con- tractors until the building public, architects, engineers, subcontractors, material dealers and others with whom the contractors have business relation- ships become devoted to sound practices . Within their own spheres of operation,” said W. A, Rogers, Chicago. It was pointed out that present methods followed in the awarding of .. bids force the building public to “a : Py ean —. we r — blind worship of the low bid.” Nb Consideration to Skill. “Under these conditions,” declared Brig. Gen. R. C. Marshall, jr., Wash- ington, “no consideration i8 given to the skill, integrity and res nsibility of those who submit bids.

WOMAN MAY IDENTIFY VICTIM OF AMNESIA Telephones She Thinks She Recognizes “Mr. X” From Printed Picture. This morning is expected to be the day for the identification of the am- nesia victim at Gallinger hospital, who is known as “Mr. X.” Since Friday afternoon, when “Mr. X” walked into the First precinct police station and asked the desk sergeant “Who Am I?” the identity of the man, apparently about 65 years old, has been a mystery. Physicians at Gallinger hospital, where “Mr. X” was taken for treatment, have tried various scientific methods to restore his'‘memory, but without result. Yesterday, however, while physicians were talking to the amnesia victim, a woman called Dr. Thomas, Ballard, of the hospital staff, on the telephone. She told him she had seen a printed picture of the mysterious “Mr, X” and knew his identity. Before Dr. Ballard could question her, she told him she would call at the hospital this morn- ing and identify “Mr. X.” St. David Society To Héar Educator Sir Alfred Thomas Davies, former permanent secretary of the Welsh de- partment, British board of education, will address the St. David’s society tonight in the Wilson Normal school.

Roanoke, Va., May 2 (By A. P.).— Official reports today. from the bed« side of Walter L.. Boothe, who has lived since April 21 by friends taking turns in pumping air into his collapsed lungs, said “he is worse.” Gloom prevailed in the sickroom to- day, for the change for the worse was obvious to the workers who have la- bored night and day to keep the breath of life in the body of the 18-year-old farmer in the hope that by some miracle of nature or science his lungs would again begin their normal func- tions. Boothe retained his indomi- table. courage and fighting spirit, but it was apparent that will power was about all he had left and that his physical powers were constantly weakening under the -. continuous pumping of his arms. The youth had a fair appetite, but has lost his former keen desire for smoking. He has declined the last few cigarettes offered him. Mild stim- ulants are being administered and the boy’s complaints of being chilly are being met with applications of hot- water bags. Boothe was injured in an automo- bile accident in May last year. His condition grew worse and eleven days ago surgeons attempted to remedy a fracture dislocation of the vertebrae. While he was on the operating table his lungs collapsed. Policeman Absolved In Shooting of Man Policeman Robert L. Hinton, of the Second precinct, was absolved of blame by a coroner’s jury yesterday for the death of Eugene Brent, colored, 25 years old, 1106 Sixth street northwest, who was shot by Hinton at Seventh and O streets northwest Sunday afternoon. He died yesterday in Gallinger hospital. The jury declared Hinton shot in the line of duty and in self-defense. Hin- ton testified Brent was walking down Seventh street away from another ne- gro. When told to stop Brent threw a brick at him and drew a gun, Hinton testified. BIGOTRY IS ASSAILED AT DINNER OF K. OF C. Heuisler Urges Fight Against Growth of Communism in America.

Downing, a charter member of the council, who declared the private and public life of the gov- ernor should be inspiration t? all American citizens.

RIGHT TO BEHANGED IS ARGUED IN COURT There Are Worse Punish- ‘ments Than Death, Pero- vich’s Counsel Says. (By the Associated Press.) With Chief Justice Taft taking no part, the Supreme Court yesterday heard oral argument in a case arising from one of his official acts while serv- ing as President. The question was whether a convicted murderer originally A | sentenceti to death can be compelled to serve @ life term through a presidential commutation. The controversy reached the court in a government appeal from a habeas corpus decision freeing Vuco Perovich, whose death sentence had been commuted by President Taft. He was convicted in Alaska. \ | Solicitor General Mitchell contended that President Taft acted within his constitutional authority and that*Pero- vich could not insist that he was being deprived of any rights when the death sentence was commuted. Counsel for Perovich insisted that there were: worse punishments than death and that Perovich, in bringing habeas corpus , realized that if successful he might be required to pay the death penalty. ; om Wales at Isabella’s Tomb.

Then in turn, the President called the fliers by name and presented them with certificates of the newly created distinguished fiying cross. There was an apparently endless round of camera clicking and posing this way and that, and then the re- turning filers were loosed to the im- patient arms of families and friends. Thus their latest assignment from the miliary air service, that of spreading friendly sentiments to all the nations of the south, came to an end.

Chapin Addresses World-Wide Chamber -of Commerce Committee. PREDICTS BIG STRUGGLE FOR FOREIGN MARKETS Purpose Would Be to Enlarge - Production Demand, He Declares. Organization of industries on an in- ternational basis, with a view to great- er world production, and improvement of international competitive ethics, was proposed last night by Roy D. Chapin, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, speaking be- fore the seventh annual dinner of the American committee of the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce at the Mayflower hotel. Delegates to the fifteenth annual meeting of the United States Cham- ber of Commerce and the third Pan-. American commercial conference joint- ly attended the dinner. “The time now has arrived when an international viewpoint. is neces- sary for the long-range future of our export trade,” Mr. Chapin told the delegates. “The next five years will sce European and American manufac- turers in a great struggle for worid markets,” he said, declaring that Amer- ica’s productive facilities have out- run its domestic consumption. “If mass salesmanship is a success in this «country and the world markets must be expanded to keep the produc- tive capacity busy, why not unite the mass salesmanship of the world?” he asked. “Why should not our organized industries combine their efforts with European and other manufacturing countries to increase legitimately the world consumption? , Would Seek More Trade. “This is entirely different than any combination to divide up the trade of the world,” he said. “Its purpose would be to enlarge world demand and keep’ all production facilities busy.” Mr. Chapin declared cut-throat com- petition means selling methods that make for hatred, profits lowered or wiped away, and reduced wages. “Here,” he said, “is a common ground upon which particularly Europe and the United States can meet, breaking down.the natural suspicion of competi- tors, raising the code of international competitive ethics and making world mass salesmanship increase the wealth not of a few countries, but of all coun- tries.” Julius H. Barnes, member of the American committee of the Interna- tional chamber, presided in the ab- sence of Owen D. Young, its chairman. To facilitate the “inter-American cir- cuit” is to labor for the interests of both American continents, Senor Don Ricardo J. Alfaro, Minister from Pan- ama, told the delegates in an unsched- uled address given in Spanish. He de- clared the northern and southern halves of the western hemisphere can not live one without the other. Warning against competition in in- ternational loans, and discussing the present fiscal status of the United States with other nations of the world, Thomas W. Lamont, of J. P. Morgan & Co., also spoke. Plans for the congress of: the Inter- national Chamber of Commerce in Stockholm, June 27 to July 2, were discussed by Willis H. Booth, vice presi- dent of the Guaranty Trust Co., of New York. Some of the states now represented in the Pan-American union are virtually only the commercial na- tions not active in the deliberations of the international chamber, he told the delegates.

This committee would be composed of representatives of the 21 republics involved. The reso- lution providing for such a committee will come before the conference tomor- row. Francisco Suastegui, commercial at- tache of the Mexican embassy, warned the conference that, in studying the simplification of customs procedure, it should bear in mind the peculiar-con- ditions that exist in the various coun- tries. Urges Mexico’s Long Coasts. Mexico has a great frontier and long sea coasts, he said, and has to contend with an immense amount of smuggling. Her customs regulations, he said, are largely aimed at this smuggling. If this involves a large amount of “red tape,” he said, so does the efforts of the United States to guard against smug- gling involve a lot of red tape. His only purpose in mentioning this, he said, was to have the conference adopt recommendations that would, in effect, be “like a rubber cap that fits every head.” | Cc. C. Martin, delegate of the Ameri- can Manufacturers Export association, told of the great need of simplifying consular procedure, and submitted a program of study to the delegates. He quoted figures to show that im- ports fro. Latin America into the Unitec States in the present century exceed exports from the United States to Latin America by some $2,000,000,- 000 In 1926, he said, imports into the United States from its southern neighbors were larger than in any munication, Pitts- burgh, At the afternoon session of the Na- A.

LEVEES FEARED MOMENTARILY | Armies of Men Still Working Frantically to Strengthen Menaced — New Orleans, May 2 (By As P.).— While flood and back water from five rivers was reaching out today in nine northeastern and east central Louisiana parishes, the torrent flowing throygh the huge artificial crevasse made in the Mississippi river levee south of here apparently had removed the danger from New Orleans. Serious situations to the northward were reported by engineers. weather observers and others, with thousands already made homeless and many other thousands now in the path of the floods ready to evacuate to high ground when the water approaches. Some improvement in the flood con- ditions, both in southeastern Arkansas and Mississippi, was reported, with the worst apparently over, and officials were turning their chief attention to health and sanitation and to rehabili- tation after the flood waters recede. So stupendous ts the task ahead that the Red Cross at Washington appealed to the country to double the $5,000,000 already given for flood relief. This step was taken after Secretary Hoover had personally reported to President Coolidge on his inspection of the flood area and had conferred with the cabi- net cémmittee and the Red Cross. Engineer Holds City Is Safe. With the Mississippi waters rushing down into Concordia parish from four breaks in the embankment south of Vidalia, the Red river smashed through its northern bank at Vick, east of Alex- andria, inundating a part of Avoyelles parish to the south of Concordia. Meeting this rushing water is that coming down from the Arkansas river in Arkansas. A special weather bu- reau bulletin issued here said Jones and Bonita, in Morehouse parish, were under water, with Mer Rouge and Oak Ridge threatened and 1,000 refugees al- ready in Bastrop. Arkansas river waters also have reached into,Tensas parish, inundating 2 miles of the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks above Newellton. In Richland parish the water was reported 6 féet deep at Bardel, with Rayville threat- ened. Some water also was going into East Cagroll parish and latest reports were tat Lake Providence was threatened Vidalia and Ferriday were in the line of the main Mississippi flood. Strenu- ous efforts were being made to throw up .temporary dykes around those towns in order to save them. The flood from the Ouachita river began moving slowly into Monroe and West Monroe in Ouschita parish and large forces of men, boys and girls were engaged in topping the levees there in the hope of protecting the greater portions of the two cities, whose combined. population is about 30,000. Catahoula parish, adjoining Con- Gordia, also was feeling the force of backwaters, while southward in Avoy- elles some 200 families were obliged to flee from the north side of the town of Moreauville when backwaters from the Mississippi, Red and Black rivers rose from two'to, three feet dur- ing the day. Besides inundating rich cotton, sugar cane and truck lands, the waters have invaded the oil and gas producing sections, both in northeastern Louls- iana and Arkansas.. Dispatches from Alexandria said production of both oil and gas was at a standstill with more than 150 producing wells shut down Leyee Still Being Blasted. To the south of this city engineers continued blasting the Caernarvon levee during the day and much of St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes were inundated tonight with more of the inhabitants moving to high lands after failing to heed first warnings to move. Reparations for the inhabitants of this flooded area will be discussed at a meeting of the reparations committee called for tomorrow in New Orlean by Gov. Simpson. With the weather bureau reiterating its warning about the seriousness of the situation that will be presented between Angola and New- Orleans as the flood crest moves down past Natchez, armies of Men continued work today topping and strengthening the levees along that section. Several threatened breaks north of Angola were reported during the Cay. with the greater’. danger point five miles south of Vidalia, opposite Natchez, where a huge sand bot! threat- ened to create a crevasse. Several hun- dred workers were rushed to the place ‘from Natchez ard Vidalia and late to- day engineers reported that the danger had. been overcome, for the present at least, , New Danger Is to Come. The weather bureau here g warn- ing that the flood waters from crevasses in the west bank of the river below. Vidalia were moving southward toward |M the Red river and also spreading north- ward and westward. That going back into the Red river will again pass into bf the Mississippi, increasing the danger below the mouth of the Red to New Orleans. This same weather bureau bulletin stated that the Black river was stead- liy rising and Shat the Mississipp} at Vicksburg still was rising *s a result of the flood. waters reentering the river ‘through the Yazoo river just north of that place. Below Vicksburg the river was sta- tionary or falling slightly due to the crevasses below Vidalia. At-New Or- leans the gauge showed a drop of one- tenth of a foot and this was expected to continue as the Caernavon crevasse was widened. ae A =— | flooded pager in ber to be cared for has been doubled since that call, and the,,cres* flood has not reached ‘all - Hoover Submits.

The recommendations are as fol- lows: That the Red Cross call be increased from $5,000,000 to a minimum of $10,- 000,000 by doubling all quotas. That continuance be authorized of the services of the army, Navy, Treas- ury, Agriculture and Commerce De- partments through delegation of per- oa sonnel and supplies, with view to de- ficiency appropriations from Congress to cover such outlays, That the banking committees, na- tional and: local, should in cooperation | Duer & EK with the government institutions, or- | Reed ganize some agency by which produc- tion loans to farmers, advances to merchants and. to flooded banks éan be mobilized at once. Capital: Quota Doubled. Washington’s willingness to respond to the presidential appeal was apparent even last night. Local Red .Cross work- ers prepared without hesitation for a mighty drive that will embrace the Capital and comb every section of the city in an effort to raise the. Dis- trict’s new quota of $90,000. Hosts of individuél donors quietly. doubled their. | 7° original - contributions, while confer- ences were held by Red Cross officials to detérmine upon the hest means of obtaining the required sum. Emulating the President, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon sent a circular to | 80? the various bureaus of his depattment, appealing for contributions. Similar appeals were made to employes of other government departments and funds are being gathered by the chief clerks. At the same time business houses, banks, theaters, places of amusement, public institutions and municipal departments have been generous in their answer to demands for. more help. Many private benefit performances and public enter- tainments are announced for the next few days. Flood relief performances are to be given at Loew's Palace theater be- ginning Friday night at 11:30 o’clock. Not only will the regular house films be shown, but others will be screened and there will be professional acts and other forms of entertainment. Girls Will Sell Tickets. An admission of $1 will be charged and girls of the Washington chapter of the American Red Cross will sell tickets. The local performances are to be a part of nation-wide performances in the Loew theaters. The plan was decided upon after representatives of Marcus Loew had conferred with Red Cross officials. Professional .erformers are to donate their services and the orchestra is to do likewise. The shows are to begin immediately upon the conclusion of the regular night performances. The Mississippi society has announc- ed a ball to'be given Monday night at the Willard hotel for the benefit of the flood sufferers. President and Mrs. Coolidge are expected to attend. Ar- rangements for the affair are being completed on a large scale and an- nouncement has been made of many novel and interesting features for the occasion. » $40,000 Subscribed Here. With nearly $40,000 given by the peo- ple of Washington up to late yesterday afternoon, the total sum received by relief agencies for the flood sufferers lest night is believed to have been swelled considerably by later contribu- tions. No estimate of the-exact amount was available, but the figurrs will be checked by the Red Cross and others in charge of receiving individual do- nations. The flood relief fund of The Wash- ington Post yesterday received $736. bringing the total amount thus far do- nated up to $3,046.20. Mr. and Mrs Truxtun Beale were the largest indi- vidual contributors with a gift of $500, and Mrs. Henrietta McCormick-Good- nart followed with a presentation of $100. There was eveh among the con- tributors, a 83-year-old Chinese boy. who gave $1 to the fund.

BY DETROIT MAN YEARLY C. A: Savard Tells Canadian Commission of Magnitude of His Business. DISPOSITION NOT ASKED Special to The. Washington Post. Windsor, Ontario, May 2.—C. A. .(Frenchy) Savard, of Detroit, consignee of much of the liquor and beer sent out by the breweries and distilleries on "the Canadian border, made his long Celayed appearance today before the Canadian royal commission. He some- what astonished the commissioners with the statement that his business amounts to more than $5,000,000 a year The royal commission is sitting to investigate the liquor traffic across the border Savard’s appearance was brought about by the threat that his supplies would be cut off unless he testified. He had expressed reluctance to do 60, saying it might lay him open to a charge of violating the prohibition law of the United States. In questionins him, Newton W. Rowell, chief govern- ment attorney, refrained from asking what became of the vast quantities of liquor and beer which Savard admitted he purchased for delivery at Windsor Savard testified his “big central dock” was at La Salle, Ontario, and that there were several other docks at Windsor. He testified he was not the Frank Savard to whom much liquor has been consigned. “How much business does this Frank Savard do?” pursued Rowell. “T can’t give any details regarding another man’s business,” replied Sav- ard, smiling. After Savard had left the stand sev- eral witnesses testified regarding five carloads of liquor which were sent to Detroit under false billings. RUM SALE RESUMED IN NORWAY STORES Prohibition Ends; Customers Stand in Line to Buy but ” Crowds Are Orderly. Oslo, Norway, May 2 (By A. P.).— Norway’s change from dry to wet came into operation here quietly today, when the sale of liquor in bottles began. Thirteen stores were open at 11 o’clock in the morning and numerous custom- ers stood in line waiting to put into effect their new-found liberty. Though police were there to keep order and prevent crowding, they found their task an easy one, for the custom- ers were served quickly and quickly dis- appeared when they had received their supplies. Brandy and whisky were most in demand. The only restriction is as to the age of the purchaser, the age limit being fixed at 21, and any amount can be bought and paid for until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Restaurants which have been given a license to serve liquor in bottles and glasses can not “lift the lid” until the latter part of the month, as arrange- ments for sale and control have not yet been fixed. Prohibition was abolished formally by the storting on April 4, but exten- sive parts of the country still remain Kathryn Carver, Actress, Divorced. Los Angeles, May 2 (By A.

When Mrs. Snyder had finished read- ing, Justice Scudder asked why she went to bed on tHe night of the killing. before going to meet Gray. “Because I wanted to h le the matter alone, get Gray out of the house forever without my, husband knowing anything about it. The questioning tircled back to Mrs. Snyder’s meeting with ‘ray in her mother’s room and continued from there to tell of her seeing the murder and trying to pull Gray from her hus- band’s body. She Breaks Into Tears. As she reached the point in her story where she said she fainted and awoke to find her husband dead, she broke into tears. She stifled her sobs to tell again her story of Gray forcing her to help make it appear that Snyder had been killed in a burglary. “You won't see me for a couple of months’ now,” she quoted Gray as saying. “The insurance won't be paid till then.” “And you went through with his plan?” “I did, I didn’t know where I was, confused and frightened.” “Isn’t it true that in your mother’s room you said to Judd Gray, ‘Now is the time?’” “Never.” “Didn't you say, ‘Hurry, strike,’. when he hesitated?” “No.” “Didn’t you pour chloroform on your husband’s pillow?” “No.” “Didn't you strangle him with wire?” “No.” “Mfs, Snyder, how many lovers have you had besides Gray since your mar- triage?” “None.” “You took a ten-day trip with Gray, didn’t you?” “Yes.” “Didn’t you tell him on that trip that Albert Snyder must be got out of the way?” “I did not.” Money from Mother, She Says, Assistant District Attorney Proesell, began cross-examination for the State. “Did you ever have quarrels with your husband about your allowances?” “Yes.” “You had money in your own name in other banks?” “Yes.” “And where did you get this money?” “From my mother.” ‘Proessel’s questions were often shouted at the witness and she shouted back with growing vigor. “Money Gray borrowed from you— what account was that taken from?” “The joint account of myself and my husband.” a “Didn’t your husband ever question you about these checks?” “No. cians trusted you so much?” plici “He ‘had full confidence?” “He did.” Denies Betraying Confidence. “And you betrayed that confidence?” “No “You betrayed him with Gray didn’t you?” “Yes.” “Madame did band?” “No. ° “Love him?” “No.” « The questioning then brought. out that Snyder’s boat, originally named the Jessie G. for a fiancee who had died, was renamed the Ruth a month after Snyder’s marriage to the de- fendant.

The liberal delegates, who reached here Friday from President- Sacasa’s headquarters at Fuerto Cabezas, are known to have been given broad in- structions as to peace terms, but it is stated that they can not consider the preposal that Diaz remain in power until the 1928 elections.

W NEW LABOR BILL “Storm of Protests Is Aroused by Plan to Outlaw All General Strikes. “LOT OF LIES” CHARGED TO MINISTER IN DEBATE Cheers Greet Motion to Reject Measure; Speaker Forces Jack Jones to Retire. London, May 2 (By A. P.).—-The great struggle over the fate of the govern- ment’s “trades disputes and trade- unions bill” began in the house of commons today in a superheated at- mosphere which led to excited scenes. The attorney general, Sir Douglas Hogg, moved the second reading of the ‘bill, the object of which is to prevent ‘general strikes and coercive sacnnsaning by labor unions, Five minutes after he began s k- ing, he was being interrup by broadsides at angry cries of protest from the labor benches. Sir Douglas said the government was prepared to consider amendments to re- move ambiguities or defects in the bill, but he threw down the gauntlet to the laborites by declaring that the govern- ment would resist.to the utmost any attempts designed to defeat the main principles of the measure. The oppo- sition received this with ironical cheers. It was evident to the crowded gal- leries that the situation was ‘full of ‘dynamite. A reference by the attorney general to the “illegality” of last year’s general strike brought J. H. Thomas, veteran railwaymen leader, to his 4eet in protest, and raised a hurricane among the laborites. Speaker Intervenes Twice. Twice at the outset the speaker of the house intervened to restore quiet, Once reprimanding Willlam Thorne, laborite, for the Plaiston division of West Ham, who declared the attorney general had been “telling a lot of lies” throughout his speech. The storm subsided, however, and Sir Douglas continued. As he proceed- ed, heckling by individuals was replaced by mass cheering and countercheering, In the midst of which the laborite, Jack Jones, famous for his caustic humor, kept up a running fire of re- marks. Among the principles of the bill, Sir Douglas sald: “A general strike is illegal and no man shall be penalized for refusing to take part in one.” “Intimidation is illegal, and no man Shall be coerced, by threats, to abstain from working against his will.” “No man shall be compelled to sub- scribe to the funds of any political party unless he so desires.” “Any person entering the established civil service must give His undivided allegiance to the state.” Jack Jones is Suspended. The speaker of the house warned sev- eral laborites that if they did not cease their interruptions they would have to leave. He finally ordered Jack Jones to T scnaeasiemneceaneeeeanineatameaaanemindesinaan eeabamiemataidanmtneend tad anamaeiaaena DIED taco.

NEW DEVICE TESTS BRAKES ON 100 CARS All But 12 Autos Come Within Requirements of Effi- ciency Law. More than 100 motorists yesterday availed themselves of the opportunity to have their brakes tested free in the first public demonstration of the latest device for this purpose. The test is being sponsored by the American Auto- mobile association and the police de- partment and will continue all this week on D street between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. None of the’ cars tested yesterday were adjusted perfectly, but all except a dozen came within the legal require- ments by proving their ability to stop within 50 feet from a speed of 20 miles an hour. Ninety-eight per cent of the cars tested were at fault as far as per- fect equalization of brakes was con- cerned, some being shown to depend for their braking action upon one wheel. The automobile to be tested is run up on the steel frame of the machine where each wheel rests on a set of roll- ers which revolve at a speed which makes their pull correspond to the ordi- nary road pull. A separate gauge for each wheel then tells just how efficient each brake is. Business Alumni Meeting.

LYDIG ASKED Four Persons Have Provided Her With $40,000 a Year, Referees Told. New York, May 2 (By A. P.).—Coun- sel for the creditors of Mrs. Rita de Alba de Acosta Lydig today appeared before a referee in bankruptcy with the request that he investigate the sources from which Mrs. Lydig has been re- ceiving $40,000 annually for the past 15 years. Mrs. Lydig, whose liabilities ran into the thousands and whose assets were listed recently as consisting of merely her furniture and Paris clothes, was too ill to appear at the hearing. While it is understood that the an- nuity has come from four prominent persons in this city, the referee was asked to determine whether this in- come was derived from a “secretly hid- den” trust fund. The referee was told that a member of a firm representing certain of the Vanderbilt family’s interests had de- clared that Mrs. Lydig had received the money from the four persons. Another |- hearing was set for June 2, but the referee said no investigation into Mrs, Lydig’s affairs would be made mean- while. . Clam Diggers Held Victims of Sharks Salinas, Calif., May 2 (By A.

BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH LINES TO BE PROTECTED Nation Must Save Its Defense Implements on the Sea, Poincare Asserts. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Paris, May 2.—France intends to be- gin immediately the construction of a vast system of fortifications for pro- tecting the frontiers. - ’ The 1928 budget, which has been practically completed for submission to arliament, provides a huge sum for ullding a powerful series of defenses and fortresses at strong points, to be linked with the latest improved earth- works, with strategic highways, rail- ways, airdromes, battery emplacements, troop assembling shelters and other appurtenances that were demonstrated as necessities in the great war, Premier Raymond Poincare revealed the government’s intentions during a speech before the general council of the Meuse district, delivered at Bar Le Duc this afternoon. The announcement of the fortifying, beginning at once, created the greatest surprise, as, while the general staff, since the war, consistently demanded security from another German an- slaught across Belgium, it was believed that political circles preferred to wait another ten years or so, believing that there was no likelihood of any immi- nent conflict. Long Military Service Kept. A series of giant forts like those barring invasion from the east—Belfort, Metz, Toul and Verdon-—-will be con- structed along the north frontier arid through Ardennes and the entire de- fensive system must nearly be com- pleted before the government consents to adopt one-year military service for conscripts, the premier said. The speech, which-was.the most im- portant the premier has made since last summer, when he bacame head of the government, reiterated former com- plaints against Germany’s failure. sin- cerely to execute the Versailles treaty and disarm faithfully, and stated that France does not expect further repara- tions than the Dawes plan provides. The premier threw a broad Hint to President Coolidge on France’s attitude on the naval conference, saying, “‘We can not sacrifice the independence, rights and guarantees conferred by treaties, and as France is maritime, as well as a terrestrial power, it must con- serve on the sea, as well as on land, the means of defense against ag~- gressors,” Face Financial Sacrifices, Ignoring the American and British debts, Premier Poincare traced the country’s financial troubles and salva- tion since he assumed power, warning the people that they must accept heavy sacrifices in the form of heavy tax- ation, but assuring them that the 1928 budget will not provide additional imposts. The premier severely rapped the communists, flaying Russia's intrusion into France’s domestic affairs, and warning Moscow of drastic measures if they persist in fomenting trouble. But the crux of the speech was the fortifications, the announgement of which attracted great applause, despite the warning of the heavy financial out- lay necessitated. Prior to 1914 France had not fortified the northern frontier opposite Belgium and Luxemburg, because these coun- tries were protected by neutrality agree- ments that Germany signed. Since the “scrap-Of-paper” incident and Bel- gium’s decision not to fortify even the Meuse crossings because of the tre- mendous expense and possibility of in- vaders violating the Dutch neutrality in Limburg province, the French gen- eral staff repeatedly has demanded that the government safeguard the northern gateways and modernize the eastern gates at Verdun and Toul and the for- mer German fortresses at béetz, Bel- fort and Strasbourg. The plan also envisages the estab- lishment of fortified works straight south to the Mediterranean, including the Alpine region along the Italian boundary, which in the winter was heavily reinforced with French troops, artillery, tanks and armored cars, when unofficial bands of fascists were run- ning along the Italian side and threat- ening to make incursions into' French territory.

THE AMERICAS IN CONFERENCE. » The third Pan-American ‘commercial confer- ‘ence begins its sessions. in Washington under very favorable auspices. On the day of open- ‘ing, the good will filers of the United States im ‘winged their way to the feet of President Cool- | idge, reporting the success of their wonderful is flight throughout the hemisphere. Peace and good will prevail among the nations composing the Americas; commerce has reached an ut- precedented volume; intercourse is larger and more varied; the needs of each nation are bet- ter understood; and the future is brighter than ever before. 2 The basis for developing the resources and commerce of Pan-America is of the most solid ‘character. It is that of national liberty and. : independence, enabling every country to ex- ‘pand according to its natura] resources and ‘abilities, without encroaching upon the rights of others and without arousing fears of ag- gression. Democracies do not conspire to ‘make war. The freedom that they enjoy is ‘desired for others. It is impossible to bring about imperialistic conspiracies in govern- . ments whose members are free men, serving temporarily in places of trust for a free people. Although the United States is by far the ‘most populous and opulent member of the Pan- ‘American Union, it is dependent for its wel- fare upon the cooperation of the others. It ‘requires their products and craves their friend- ‘ship. It is strong enqugh to fight the combined world in defense of the independence of nations in this hemisphere, but its strength is not arrogance, and it does not seek war. It has had the opportunity to help several smaller nations directly, by. sharing in the task of re- organizing their governments and readjusting their financial affairs; and it has done s0 un- ‘selfishly, without exacting payment and with- ‘out a thought of taking advantage of them. Cuba was helped, after which the United States withdrew. Santo Domingo was helped, and then the United States withdrew. Haiti is now being helped, and when she has regained her equilibrium the United States will withdraw. Nicaragua needed help, which is now being given, and when Nicaragua has established order and stable government the United States will withdraw. The people of the United States were the first to welcome Central and South American “republics into the family of independent na- tions. Americans hare no other desire toward Pan-America than to see it independent, at oo a | a) 7 peace, and prosperous. The independence. »f ) ~ Latin-American republics is necessary to the in- dependence of the United States. The peace of those nations can not be disturbed without dis- turbing the peace of this nation. Their pros- perity makes for American prosperity. In the essentials that make for human happiness the -mations of this hemisphere are alike, their - fdeals are the same, and their destinies are intertwined. GROWING TROLLEY TRAFFIC. More than 14,500,000,000 passengers rode . on electric cars in this country last year, an increase of 230,000,000 over 1925. An in- crease of 70,000,000 in the number of service miles also was shown last year, according to a statement just made public by the American Electric Railway association. This is conclusive evidence that the trolley car is not only holding its own, but is forging ~ steadily ahead despite the increasing popularity ’ »° of the automobile.

America in at Bolling field yesterday and were welcomed by President Coolidge. The voyage stands as aviation. The flight included passages over seas and tremendous mountains, deserts and windswept gorges. At Buenos Alfres two of the filers lost their lives in a collfsion; The survivors, with unconquerable courage,- re- sumed the flight and in spite of all obstacles made their way to Washington and reported to their commander in chief. The Good Will flight unquestionably accom- plished the main object for which it was de- signed. It was a message to Central and South America, beckoning to all countries to join the United States in blazing paths through the air, for the promotion of acquaintance, good understanding and commerce. All nations visited knew that the Americans were mes- sengers of peace. The fliers were cordially received, entertained with the hospitality for which the Latin Americans are famous, and appointed as bearers of messages of good will to the United States. No more opportune day of arrival in Wash- ington could have been chosen than yesterday, which marked the opening of the unique all- America aircraft exposition at Bolling field. Ninety of the leading manufacturers of air- planes, engines and equipment are displaying their wares, the display constituting a remark- able disclosure of the giant strides made in the science of aviation. This exposition is evidently the forerunner of similar larger dis- plays in the future, which will eventually pro- vide opportunity for the public to select fa- vorite planes as easily as is now the case with automobiles. It is a field of locomotion so full of glorious possibilities, both for utility and sport, that. it will be explored with un- precedented rapidity. Instead of requiring ages, as in the case of sea vessels, or decades, as in the case of railroads, aviation has be- come a handmaid of travelers within a few short'years. Only a short time will now elapse before individual. filers will make pleasurs flights covering thousands of miles. In the meantime the air is becoming the road of commerce and mail transport, Like the sea, no paving is required, no roadbed need be built, and no speed limits need bs imposed. The shortest route in the air is as broad as the longest; time itself is shortened as well as distance. The need of quicker com- munication and transport of human beings is happily met by the utilization of the air, the ideal pathway which gives access to every part of the globe by the shortest route. WASHINGTON WAR MEMORIAL. The campaign to raise funds necessary to complete the District of Columbia memorial to those who lost their lives in the world war. must not fail. Only $140,000 additional is needed—not quite 40 cents apiece if each and every resident gives his share. This can not happen, of course, so it is necessary for the workers to obtain larger contributions from a smaller number of individuals. Nevertheless, it should not be difficult to raise the money, Washington is the only large community in the country which so far has failed to accord tangible recognition to the fallen heroes of the war. It can not be because Washington does not appreciate their sacrifices or has for- gotten so quickly the promises made when civilian life was put away. Whatever the réa- son, however, public apathy which has thus far attended the creation of the memorial, has not been creditable to'this city. The time for action has come. — The design chosen, a simple domed struc- ture, in the ceiling of which will be carved the names.of the 535 District men and women who died in the line of duty, has met with universal public approval. Once the fund is completed, the structure will be set down in Potomac park, to stand as testimony of Washington’s appreciation. Those in charge of the campaign have asked the question: ‘‘Does Washington remember?” This week its citizens must re- deem themselves by making certain that the coffers of the memorial commission are filled to overflowing. SSE THE PLAZA IMPROVEMENT. With the exception of $67,000, still held until final titles have been approved, the last of the payments for the twelve squares of land included in the Plaza between the Capitol and the Union station has been made by Mr. Lynn, architect of the Capitol. The United States has become the owner of the lands, . Which. are to be made into a beautiful parks after seventeen years of controversy. In June, 1910, Congress appropriated - the first $500,000 with which to begin acquisition of the lands needed. Subsequent acts increased the fund to $1,500,000, and on July 1, 1911, the Attorney General was asked to initiate condemnation proceedings for the two squares directly north of the Capitol grounds. In April of the following year the condemnation commission under this authority decided the value to be $1,119,035.50, and that sum was paid, leaving a balance of approximately $380,000 for subsequent purchases. Later Congress authorized the purchase of ten more squares, which were appraised at $3,204,434.78 and the amount necessary to make the pay- ment was appropriated. But Congressman Johnson, of Kentucky, who was then the chair- man of the District committee, prevailed upon President Wilson to disapprove the purchase. A new commission was appointed, with pow- _ers limited, so far as the acquisition of the lands of the Bajtimore & Ohio railroad were concerned.’ This commission was named by President Wilson in November, 1914, and it reported in January, 1916, finding the value ‘of the tract to be $1,406,123:36, exclusive of the Arthur school and the lands of the rail- road. The Baltimore & Ohio positively refused to accept the award, which was limited to the original cost plus. 6 per cent interest from the time that it had been, purchased. | y. For the next ten years nothing was done toward the completion of the project. But in June, 1926, a new commission was authorized “i of the “Metropolitan picture.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: The reg- ulation of currency is still far from being a mathematical science, in spite of- the wide experience in fluctuating values the world has had since the war. The present case of the Italian lira is in point. It is intended that this unit shall have a gradual rise, conducted in such a manner as not to disturb Italian industry and trade. Mussolini’s dic- tatorship makes conditions as nearly ideal as will be met in a day’s journey But a few days ago the lira began jumping upward in a most disconcert- ing way. Fora while it seemed to have got out of bounds, showing that even @ dictator can not lay his plans per- fectly enough to go off fishing. The Italian national exchange, especially in- tended to keep the. lira from sliding down hill, had to step in and collar the scamp to -stop its too rapid. upward climb. Tin Cans for Safety. . Detroit News: A citizen of upper Michigan whose occupation took him on long rides through the cut-over dis- tricts made an exceedingly practical addition to the long lst of flivver ac- cessories. He nailed an empty baking powder can to the instrument. board and into this he dropped his burnt matches and cigarette stubs. If some equivalent of this invention were pro- vided every car that passes through the wooded areas, millions of dollars could be saved annually. Baking powder cans are cheaper than forest fires, and a lit- tle thoughtfulness on the part of tour- ists and campers could be exercised without extra expense. The folk who enjoy the forests ought to be interested in their protection. World Wealth. Amsterdam Recorder: Canada ranks third among the nations of the world in per capita national wealth, with an average of $2,406, according to a com- pilation made by the League of Na- tions. The United States is first with $2,918 "per person, and Great Britain second with $2,495. The league’s fig- utes rate France fourth in per capita wealth, with $1,570, and Germany fifth with $1,080. Japan stands sixth with $544. In total national wealth the United States is three times ahead of its closest competitor, having about $335,570,000,000 compared with $100,- 655,000,000 by Great Britain. Canada’s total national wealth is set at $21,- 654,000,000. The Hen-Pecked Man. Philadelphia Record: Willlam Keun- tje, of Hoboken, earns $34.75 a week, and gives the. sealed envelope to his wife. She has allowed him his lunches one 5-cent cigar a day and five pleces of chewing gum per week. But the worm turned.the other day. He open- ed the envelope, abstracted 50 cents, and gave his wife only $34.25. There- upon she had him arrested for nonsup- t. The judge dismissed William with the ftemark that he was the most hen-pecked husband in the world. The most interesting part of this whole transaction was Mrs. Keuntje’s remark in court, “I'll bet he wanted to squan- der that 50 cents on ener women.” Almost Perpetual Motion.

Where the Hick Begins By ROBERT QUILLEN HICK town has been defined as a place where the police department and the fire department are the same man, but that may or may Hicks gossip about one another, but that is true of group members in Hicks feel complacent in their. ignorance, but that is true of metro- politans who call themselves the intelligentsia. Hicks are preyed upon by clever knaves who fatten on their credulity, but that is true of big-town men as well. Hicks are provincial and seldom see beyond the distant meadow where the sun sets, but metropolitans who see beyond the town limits are rela- tively few. Hicks are awed by a visiting metrépolitan, but metropolitans stand agape when a visiting prince appears. Hicks are enraged by new ideas, but the world’s wren bearers have been stoned and crucified by city men. What, then, is a true hick? the confirmed metropolitan? Well, a hick is a free man. uniformed officialdom. does it himself. to himself. He is unorganized, unregimented, unhaltered, unbroken. He is not cramped by rules and regulations.

Omaha World Herald: Reforestation on a large scale would tend to minimize the rapidity with which surplus waters drain into the streams. The preserva- tion of swampy areas would furnish natural safety valves. One of the best things ever done for the benefit of the lower Mississippi \as the saving through the activity of the Izaak Wal- ton League of America of great swamp areas on the upper reaches of the river from drainage and exploitation as agri- cultural lands. _ Surpassing the Birds. Baltimore Sun: Although tragedies disclose how far from perfect is man's mastery of flying, he has at least sur- passed the birds in speed, as every one| knows, and also in the less obvious matter of load-carrying. What bird can equal the military bomber which has just lifted more than its own /weight? That machine almost ranks as an aerial truck.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Loss of State Rights. To the Editor of The Post, Sir: The editorial on States’ rights in The Sun- day Post was one of the best of i kind that has appeared in a long time, but it is like the voice of one crying in the wilderness. The progress of in- vention, particularly along the lines:o transportation and communication, ever at work molding the country ‘into @ more homogeneous and interde- pentient unit. What the people o Georgia, for instance, do today is of much more consequence to the citi- zens of Massachusetts than it was sg hundred years ago. While we still have left a few able and siticere supporters of States’ rights, the question rarely becomes prominent except in connection with some Federal policy which is locally unacceptable. The circumstances surrounding the adoption of the last two amendments furnish a good example of the truth of this. If there is any general sup- port for the doctrine of States’ rights it should surely be found in the South, which is its traditional strorighold. So far as an invasion of these rights is con- cerned there is little to choose between prohibition and woman’s suffrage, yet the Southern States, which were already mostly dry, ratified the eighteenth amendment without substantlal objec- tion on this score. Woman's suffrage, on the other hand, had made relatively small progress in that section and its rejection was accompanied by a great outcry against the Federal invasion of local rights involved therein. The spirit of the times appears te favor a constant increase in the power of the central government at the ex- pense of the States, and if the nation is to survive we must find ways of meeting the problems which so arise. Our greatest danger lies in the fact that the rapid onward march of civill- zation tends to increase the complexity of these problems faster than it does our ability to solve them. The full cor sequences of any important and new policy are apt to be so diversified and obscure that g. sat damage may be dor before the people at large realize the cause thereof. E. C. REYNOLDS, GOLD. Capt. Kidd's eyes would have started from their sockets at the news that more than $4,500,000,00C worth of fold has accumulated in United States banking vaults. Yet we have it are rather perplexed than otherwise says the Commonweal. In the first place, vast deposits in our own coinage tend to facilitate credit to an extent which makes it’ easy to launch enterprises 1n competitive fields where overproduction spells disaster. Secondly, a great part of the total sum is here on deposit, pending the day when the nations whom it belongs can reestablish the “gold standard” in their own banking circles. This means a gradual return to financial health throughout the wofld, but it also means that rugged vigor has not yet been attained. Meanwhile, it is interesting to view. the present status of gold production, Joseph Kitchen, the British expert, esti- mates that $410,000,000 worth of’ the precious ore was mined during 1926, .This indicates an increase over the pree ceding years, but-lags considerably be- hind the record figures for 1915. Proe duction in the Unjted States declined, however, to the lowest point reached in more then 30 years.. Unless the ab- normal happens and some vast new mines are unearthed, the’ mining of gold will not permit the maintenance of banking reserves in the manner cuse tomary in all countries. This is the view put forward by, Prof. Gustave Case. sel, and widely discussed by. conteme porary financiers. It seems quite likely, | that_unless modifications. are ‘adopted. the brides of the future will have to content Sresneelees with heirloom rings, or with substitutes in aivete copper or at eaienete |

Some days ago Mrs. Roberts, of Oak street, came to pay us a visit and left with us her. recipe for gingerbread, or molasses cake (it is as good with either name attached). Gingerbread. Mix a half cup. of sugar with a fourth cup of molasses and add to this a fourth cup of lard. Work these to- gether slightly and then add to them a half cup: of bolling water and blend till smooth. Add a little nutmeg, a half teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of ginger, if desired. Add to one cup of sifted flour a generous teaspoon of soda and beat these dry materials into the first mixture thoroughly. The mixture should be a thin one and baked in a shallow pan in a moderate oven until the cake leaves the sides of the pan. Still another visitor at the studio left me a recipe that is a inost attrac- tive one for the use of strawberries, which are almost at the height of their season just now. I have been wonder- ing, too, just what has become of this visitor, who, when she left me, was to work out something that we planned together and bring the result to me before making use of it. Have you de- cided not to do this thing, Mrs. Clark, or is time flying because your days are full and engrossiny? I should like to see you attain this thing which you wish so much to accomplish, for it may mean much to you. But it will also mean hard work at the outset, as anything that is worth while means hard work, and’ I am just the least ‘bit afraid that you have let something dis- courage you and tiat you have set the work aside for another day, which is postponed from one day to another, and that in the end you will forget all about it. Here is the suggestion for strawberries as:a confection that you gave me that da’. You gave me no name for it, but I think it will need none. Strawberries. Pick out the large berries of the box, and be sure that there are no soft spots.on them. Wash them and gently dry them and, having left the hulls on, hold the hulls between the thumb and forefinger and dip the berries individu- ally in stiffly beaten white of egg. Then sprinkle them with confectioner’s sugar and place them on a close sieve to drain for a few moments. Then place them in a very slow oven until the confection on the outside has hardened a, bit and remove them at once. These—speaking of afternoon tea as we did yesterday during our radio hour—are an easy and excellent confection to tnake use of at tea time. They may be nicely arranged on a silver, glass or china dish and bea candy, without being a candy, and yet take its place. A third recipe that has come to me that I wish to pass along to you this morning is one for a caramel pudding. It has become separated from its identifying signature, therefore, I do not know to whom we are indebted for it, but we are gratefull, neverthe- less. Caramel Pudding. One cup of light brown sugar brown- ed in a sauce pan, being very careful not to burn. Add 1 tablespoon of but- ter, a half cup of milk and cook for 12 minutes. Add a pint of milk and 2% tablespoons of cornstarch (mixed with milk). Stir this pudding con- stantly until it thickens. I rather dislike to constantly reiter- ate that we appreciate—that. I appre- ciate—the many nice things that are said and written to me here at the studio and that these gestures that come from our friends are the things that add so greatly to this work that we are trying to do, for homemakers. But almost each day that passes brings something to emphasize the fact. One of the recipes for the contest written in the most charming, small script on an Easter card with happiness and good wishes for the Housekeeper—a tele- phone call from a friend who preferred the word I sent to the little girl of the lemon pie to any number of recipes or help that I could have given through the column, readers who call in to as- sure us that they read every word of this column of ours—and are helped by it. We are unable to answer each of these communications expressing the good will of our friends, but I am eager that these friends know how much we appreciate their_gestures of kindness— even though we speak of it only in a column in a newspaper. Time for a menu—and what shall we have for dinner? We had on Saturday @® suggestion for a rolled shoulder of lamb,.. Why not lamb souffle today, as- suming that there may be a few left- overs that may, in this manner, be done away with?

Then add‘two cups of chopped lamb, one-half cup of buttered bread crumbs, one teaspoon chopped parsley, one-fourth teaspoon pepper and one of salt and three egg yolks, well beaten.

MOVIE CLUB OVER WMAL —_ President Coolidge will address a joint meeting of the Pan-American commercial conference and the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States, at the Washington auditorium tonight. It will be broadcast over WRC of the Radio corporation and 30 or more other stations throughout the country, be- ginning at 9 o’clock. Nancy Carey, director of The Post’s Home Efficiency Service, will give an- other of the series of Homemakers’ hours at 10:30 o’clock this morning. How two white men harnessed the jungle-power of northern Siam into a/ Com dramatic -picturization of the elemental battle between man and beast, in which the chief.actors were wild tigers, elephants and leopards, will be tald over the radio tonight at 8 o’clock by Maj. Merian C. Cooper, as the feature of this week’s Eveready hour. Accompanied by Ernest B. Schoed- sack, Maj. Cooper passed a year and nine months in the interior of Siam in the making of the Paramount picture “Chang.” Maj. Cooper, in his talk for the Eveready hour, promises to explode two theories, one of recent origin, re- garding tigers. First he proposes to show that despite customary belief, a man up a tree is not always safe from a ravenous tiger, and secondly, that irrespective of late reports, tjgers. in Siam are of maneating propensities. Traveling in the Nan district of North Siam, which is literally infested by tigers, Maj. Cooper had his greatest thrill, the rounding up of “Mr Crook-~- ed,” a yellow-striped man-eater that had slain nineteen natives. Today’s program will open at 4 o’clock, with a concert by the United States Navy band, followed at 5 o’clock with-dinner music from the Waldorf- Astoria in New York. From 5 o'clock until 6:45, WRC will present baseball scores, John White in songs of the guitar, Columbia university French lec- ture, by Prof. Phillip Molt, and Torre and Viviano with accordian and violin. The Hotel Mayflower orchestra will be heard at 7 o’clock. The morning program. opens at 10 o’clock with Hi-10 Musical Moments. Following Nancy Carey’s homemakers’ hour will be the Greenwich Village inn orchestra from New York and the Raleigh Hotel or- chestra. There will be a talk on “Wheat Pro- duction in Maryland,” by W. B. Kemp, associate professor of genetics and agronomy, University of Maryland; after which will come the Inoco hour of music, directed by Moe Baer. There will be many other attractions during the evening, among)\them the musical Carbauh family and concluding with the WMAL Radio Movie club, which will have as its guest, Frank Silver, composer of “Yes, We Have No Ba- nanas.” Orrin E. Dunlap, jr., the well-knowa radio expert and author of “Dunlap’s Radio Manual,” will be interviewed be- fore WEAF'’s microphone at 6:45 o’clock. Members of the radio audience who are interested in the future development of broadcasting will very likely be in- terested in the comments of Mr. Dun- lap. George Olsen’s orchestra will be heard tonight at 7 o’clock through WJZ, KDKA and the blue net. Selec- tions from nine of the best known grand operas will be given by a quartet from the National Grand Opera com- pany at 8 o’clock through this same hook-up. A summer series of 21 concerts will be presented by various well-known artists in half-hour programs. The opening concert will be next Sunday night. That, as well-as the two fol- lowing, will be presented by the Ameri- can Singers, a quartet comprising Charles Harrison, first tenor; Redferne Hollinshead, second tenor; Vernon Archibald, barytone; and Frank Crox- ton, basso.

The scene, laid in the cloistered convent of Dominican character upon character—the sanctil- moniousness. of the _ ultra-religious against the playfulness of the pseudo- worldly; but, aside from that and the humor it engenders there is more the keynote of tragedy, if anything. The story, stripped to its simplicity, has to do with a foundling adopted by the order and, later, of her being given away in marriage by the nuns. In the hands of a theater incapable of appreciating tke artistry that lies back of the Spanish work, “The Cradle Song” would be doomed, forthright, to failure.

DALY. BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS URGED FOR SCHOOLS Architect Harris Suggests Competition at Manor Park Meeting. Beautification of public school grounds was recommended last night by.Municipal Architect A. L. Harris at a meeting of the Manor Park Citizens association. He advocated a systematic improvement of school grounds and suggested that the citizens’ associations hold a competition to see which could develop the most beautiful setting for the schools of their territory. The as- sociation acted on his suggestion by requesting the District commissioners to provide funds from the school re- pair fund to improve the grounds around the Whittier school. Herbert Wilson, H. S. Bryant, C. H. Marshall, L. R. Niswonger, George E. Schnabel and Henry Dierkoph were ap- pointed to represent the association at the national conference on city plan- ning here next week.- The association requested the zoning commission more adequately to define what is a home industry and declared that beauty par- lors are just as much businesses as barber shops and shoe shops. It op- posed the one-man street cars and sug- gested that the Federation of Citizens Toran hold an annual conven- on. A resolution calling upon the com- missioners and the National Capital Park and Planning commissioners to purchase the 25 acres north of Sheri- dan street for school and park purposes without further delay was adopted. It was said the ground is purchasable at ‘1a price within the lHmitation of 125 per cent of assessed valuation set by Congress. Women Will Meet In Farm Conference The annual convention of the Wom- en’s National Farm and Garden asso- clation will convene today in Ward- man Park hotel. to discuss agricultural problems. Honorary members of the association, who have been invited to attend the session, include Mrs. Calvin Mrs. William Jardine and son. The officers of the association are: Miss E. Gertrude Copeland, of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, president; Mrs. W. G. Jones, of New York ‘city, first vice president; Miss Marian Roby Chase, of Weston, Mass., second vice president; Mrs. L. D. Drewry, of Milford, Ohio, third vice president; Miss Lena: M. Phillips, of New York city, correspond- ing secretary; Mrs. Jay Clark, of Wor- cester, Mass., recording secretary, and Mrs. Emmett.

A SHAMPOO SHOULD. “ENERGIZE” YOUR HAIR This is the latest word on the care of the hair! It simply means that every time you wash your hair the scalp should be slightly stimulated in order that the hair-growth may be encouraged. his can easily and surely be ac- complished by the use of the well- known shampoo, canthrox. Get a package at any drugstore. Use one teaspoonful dissolved -in a. cup. of warm water. This makes a soft, plentiful lather—enough to go all over the head. Your hair will be soft, fluffy, full of color and seem attrac- tively abundant. Canthrox stimu- lates the scalp to healthy action, pre- venting dandruff and removing all excess oil, grease and grime. It costs only about 3 cents for a thor- ough washing.—Adv DO YOU KNOW that nowadays lots of men are creating “life insurance truste” because of the unusual advan- tages offered? Let us explain.

RCO ORIRET set aa Da Deca tne AED Sa it | wives OF TOMORROW By FRANCES M’DONALD Debt, Worry and Love. EAR MI8S McDONALD—Disgusted husband as I am, I can not re- frain from writing you to air my prievances. My wife is extravagant, head- , and seems to have the disposi- of a@ movie star. Here I thought I now be safe from the flappers look at the mess I am in. Because I at the women, talk amiably to and try to treat them as human , Knowing now that they can’t me for breach of promise, my wife that I am flirting with them. e gets so that she just turns white With envy and green with jealousy. Although I am a good husband (at least she says s0 when she isn’t mad), I can’t seem to convince her that all these women don’t mean a thing to me, Then, too, she hears President Coolidge talk about economy, she just tunes o f. She doesn’t know how to handle money at all, and though she has work of her own which increases our income con- siderably, we fust manage to break even. Last year we got ourselves a Much-needed flivver for use in our work and pleasure, and this year she inveigled me into being a good sport, and with the savings from both of our incomes we were able to put a fur coat on her back. I say she inveigled me. She just thinks she did. I got the happy, generous thought myself a couple days after she had done some rather broad hinting. This cute little woman thinks I’m a back number be- cause I won’t take her out at least four evenings a week. I manage to break away with her for two evenings a week, and we certainly énjoy ourselves then, but it sure is a relief to get rid of her those other two evenings, when she goes out to play bridge and whatnot with her friends. Then I can get some work done. She rakes me over the coals for not joining a couple of clubs, but I just smile and let her rave. The other evenings when we are home to- gether, she seems to calm down and be herself. Oh what shall I do? How much longer can I stand the strain of this? TWENTY-SEVEN. One wonders Just how many broken marriages began to splinter in just this fashion—the boy of 27 conscious of living beyond his earnings the spend- thrift wife trying to keep up appear- ance with the bridge table friends; the fur coat in place of the bank account for the rainy day, the man working évenings to make a little more; the the wife complaining that he works; the husband seeking the moment of forgetfulness in women’s smiles; the wife nursing her secret grievance that this is so. It is all a perfect picture of the domestic situation in a thousand little homes right in this very town. What is ‘it all about? Why can not two people who really care, live for each other rather than for the. world that does not care? Why must they spend and strive, and struggle, and in the end finally forget that once they loved, that once the world was a moonlight night and they two all that mattered? It costs so little to keep love strong and healthy. Why then the debts, the doubts, the quarrels and the sad good-bys? Fur coats! How much these hideous garments have to answer for! First for making woman- kind look all alike, like upright kan- garoos, and second for abolishing bank accounts those marvelous first aids to love and marriage. Fur coats! Won't a few husbands join with me in the wish that who ever started the fur coat fad will now start a bank ac- count fad—Jjust to even things up and give love a chance? | For Tall and slender, you are undoubtedly en- vied by all your lesser friends, be- cause s0 many of the smartest clothes were built for you. The small woman, even though she is slim, must beware of cutting herself into sections, but you may have all the horizontal lines you like and still look beautifully willowy! ) The dress in the sketch is especially well adapted to you. The tied yoke, the wide girdle with its up-in-front line, the pleated overskirt, ending an inch or so above the hemline, would uncomfortably close together on a ort woman, but on you they fall into charming, graceful lines. Each of these three details is smart in itself, and here they are used in a highly success- combination. And the pleats, of urse, are the touch that few chic dresses can do without! ' This is a dress that is adapted to a wide variety of materials. If you wish to be decidedly new, Vogue suggests one of the featherweight woolens, per- haps wool voile, which is exactly what its name implies, or mouslicrepella, which looks like crepe romain. If cool- is your end and aim, there are e familiar georgettes and crepe ro- ‘(mains or the perennial crepe de chine. Or again, you may prefer to use a print, either in crepe de chine of chiffon; if you choose the latter, you will find innumerable smart new chiffons print- ed in large patterns—fabrics impossi- ble for the small woman, but very smart for you! As to color—there was‘ never a sea- son that permitted you more latitude. The most that any one can do is to ‘tell you that blues are most important, eens are good, all tinis of rose and fesh are seen—in fact, wear the most becoming color you can find, and you will be in the mode. However, the stockings that you wear this summer with all of your dresses, even the white ones, will be beige—a neutral color that almost matches your skin. And the most practical shoes to complete your afternoon and town costumes are of pale beige kid. (Copyright, 1927.) Tae season, if you are tall and Slender Girls | © VOGUE 8971 BEAUTY. AND YOU By VIOLA PARIS WHAT TO DO. FOR A ° BUNION. UNIONS; one feels, are a legacy B from the type of shoes no longer being worn—those pointed-toed shoes that squeezed the feet in an ef- ‘fort to produce something in the way of a shoe silhouette that no one wants today. So that bunions are largely— often quite largely, alas!—in the pos- session of ladies over 40. And these are the very ones who need to walk, in order to reduce, and can’t walk on account of their feet. Naturally, the sufferer will consult a foot specialist if her bunion is really bad. Even if it isn’t, she will, in all probability, have to resign herself to th? wearing of orthopedic shoes, at least for a time. But she may take comfort from the fact that even these are much more smartly designed than they used to be. Instead of confining themselves to “old ladies’ leathers” and lines as unpleasant to the sight as medicine is to the taste, many of the best ortho- pedic shoes today are in line with the walking shoes worn by anybody who knows the mode. Only in the after- noon and in the evening is the lower, broader heel and the necessary support a real trial to the wearer. Is there anything that the sufferer herself ca.. do, apart from wearing cor- rective shoes? Yes, there is. If the bunion is actually red and inflamed, she may buy ichthyol ointment, 25 per cent, from her druggist, and spread it on, covering the part with one of those clever little bunion pads, leaving this on overnight. In the morning the foot should be washed and powdered and a plain pad should be applied, to be worn during the day. This allays irritation while the corrective shoe is doing its work. Dear Viola Paris: For the past three weekS I have been troubled with a peelin; nose. What is the reason for this, and how can it be prevented? The powder cakes and will not stay on. I have changed powders, but it does not seem to do any good. - A CONSTANT READER. Artswer—Perhaps the skin of the nose has been allowed to become’ too dry. Try giving it a thin coating of a sooth- ing cream every night for a week. Be- fore powdering, apply a very light cream of the greaseless type or else an oily cream, in that case rubbing the surplus well off. Make sure that you have a powder that is very fine in texture— the kind that has been well sifted in the process of manufacture. Mr. Work’s Pointer On Auction Bridge HE pointer for today is: IT IS RARELY WISE TO BID NO TRUMP OVER AN ADVERSE SUIT WITHOUT TWO STOPPERS. IN THAT SUIT. Yesterday’s hand was held by West who had to decide what to do after a declaration by South. a& A-1@-3 VY Acd-7 © A-K-6.4, Me 3+5-3 My answer slip reads: No. 1. South pass; West should bid one No Trump. No. 2. South one No Trump; West should double. No. 3. South one Spade; West should double. No. 4. South .one Heart; West should bid one No Trump. My reasons in ‘support of these decla- rations are: No. 1. West, with a King and a Jack in addition to three Aces, with the ideal 3-3-3-4 No Trump division, and in the most advantageous position for it (after a pass by Dealer), has an ob- vious No Trumper. No. 2. West has adequate strength to justify an informatory~ double; namely, five high cards that will prob- ably take tricks—and three of them are Aces. The diyision of the hand is also admirable f No Trump; and, while neither Major is long, both have three cards and ample strength. No. 3. As a rule it is inadvisable to\, bid No Trump over an adverse suit with but one stopper in that suit; when that stopper is taken out, unless eight consecutive tricks can be won, the ad-. versaries are apt to win a total of five tricks and save game. With a hand like West’s there is a better chance for a game at partner's best suit. ' No. 4. In this case the Heart’s—to a practical certainty—being stopped twice, No Trump presents more attrac- tive probabilities than a double. Hav- ing two stoppers, the adverse suit is not the menace that it is when it is stopped but once. Today’s West hand follows: 8-3 A-K-10.2 } A-de fe J-10-7.6 Score love-all; what should West de- clare after the declarations of South, as stated in the answer slip that fol- lows?

BOGY DOESN’T T. b & ATCH out, you’ll catch some- thing. You're all run down.” Everybody has heard that warning repeatedly. It expresses a be- lief that is so universal that it is al- most a part of our habits—which is highbrow, for nearly everybody says it, believes it, and acts on it. Well, habit or not, it is true. There is a little truth in it, but not much. The rule is that being run down does not cause people to catch things. In the first place, we catch things from people who have them to dispose of. To catch things we must be around the people who have them. We must be close enough to them, in the bacterio- logic sense, and we must be there long |. enough. We must not only get a dose, but we must get a dose that is big enough. So much for the big end of the ques- tion of catching things. The catcher end is the small end. Now, what af- fects that small end? What is known as specific immunity means the power of the individual to protect himself against a given dis- ease. We may almost add “under all circumstance” and “at all times.” All this pretty much whittles the present question down to general immunity, and even to a part of that rather than the whole. Now to talk a little more directly to the question! People who are run down, whatever that may mean, are not especially likely to contract diseases on the one hand, nor to suffer unduly from them on the other. If, by being run down, we mean that the person already has one dis- ease, then he is, in some measure, pro- tected against other diseases. Men sel- dom have more than one disease at a time. There is considerable reason for thinking that disease-causing germs antagonize each other. THE “RUN DOWN” EXIS Of course, there are exceptions to ev- ery rule. Somebody has said that is what rules are for. There are a few diseases, such as terminal pneumonia, in which two processes are operating at the same time, but these are known and recognized as exceptions to the rule. But the words “run down” may not refer to having another disease. It may mean underweight. Statistics do not show that fat people are any more re- sistant than thin ones. Nor is there proof that a person who has recently lost weight is any more subject to dis- ease by reason of that fact. Maybe being run down means having anemia. If so, there is no reason for thinking people who are anemic are es-. pecially prone to infections. Being run down may mean without pep or bodily vigor. Here the terms used to define being run down are as vague as was the original term. Be that/as it may, the people who catch diseases are just as peppy, just as full of vigor the day be- fore the collision as they ever were. The old bogy, “Watch out for dis- ease when you are run down,” has been overworked. Keep fit. There are plenty of good reasons for doing so. Don’t do sQ« because of one that is not so good. HOW SHE CURED SLOBBERING. M. G. writes: Please tell the hus- band who slobbers in his sleep that his worries are over. He probably sleeps with his mouth open, as I use@ to and it surely is a nuisance. I had a roommate at college who objected serl- ously and something had to be done So I took somebody’s advice and sealed my lips with a small piece of adhesive tape after I got in bed. This is a pretty sure cure for snoring as well. When you get in the habit of sleeping with your mouth closed the adhesive tape is no longer needed.

My baby has to be forced to take the liquid, tasteless or otherwise, but she eats the tablets like candy. REPLY. As I understand it, the council of pharmacy and chemistry has passed one cod liver oil tablet. If your baby likes this tablet you are in luck.

LEMMON. | LTHOUGH he is one of the best all-around breeds among the smaller dogs, there seems to be a good deal of confusion in people’s minds about the West Highland terrier. Many think that he is merely a white variety of the better known Scottie. I must confess that there is justification for this, because the two dogs are of rather similar appearance eacept in the matter of color. They really are sepa- rate breeds, however, and each has a perfectly good and long ancestry of his own. West Highlanders as a pure strain were well known in Argyllshire 70 years ago. Perhaps those kept at Poltalloch were the most famous, as we are told that they were first shown under the name of Poltalloch terriers. They have many of the reuglar Scottie’s charac- teristics and belong in the same gen- eral class of desirability as do he and the Sealyham: All of these heavy-coated terriers are so hardy that they are quite free from many of the ills to which other breeds are heir. They aré perfectly able to sleep in an unheated kennel or stable and to withstand exposure to severe weather without being bundled up in hand-knit sweaters and boots. All in all, they are superlatively satisfactory in both city and country—and they will not eat you out of house and home. | (Copyright, 1927.)

Wildflower Vandals EAR JIMMY: I’m going to give D you a sermon today, not because you need it yourself, but because I want you to pass it along to every one of your friends and neighbors. And this is it: In April, and increasingly as spring advances, troublous times come to some of our showier wildflowers. An army of sometimes thoughtless, sometimes deliberately destructive motorists now begins to invade the countryside within a radius of a hundred miles or so of our larger communities, seeking what floral beauties it may pluck, uproot or break down. Every Sunday evening sees the cityward return of thousands of cars bearing the wilted remains of what was loveliness but a few hours before. There is ‘nothing new in this situa- tion or in the necessity of giving pub-” licity to it. It has been going on long enough to have had serious results in many regions through the practical ex- termination of certain wildflowers. Coupled with the clearing of the, land it has wiped out the trailing arbutus from sections where this delightful plant used to flourish, wrecked thou- sands of dogwood trees in the East, and made severe inroads on the ranks of the wild columbine, ladyslipper, laurel and other treasures of the spring and early summer. To combat it there must be aroused a widespread public spirit of protection. ital 2. 3 The .garden clubs and varigus con servation organizations have done muc to discourage this vandalism, but th task is an overpowering one. It cal for the definite personal efforts of iz dividuals as well as societies—a so of volunteer national wildflower poli force that functions constantly ar everywhere. There is educational wo here for every. community in the lafit¢ for the campaign of protection is vital, widespread need unless we pré fer to have our roadsides, fields an woodlands denuded of their most tractive springtime loveliness.

Quinn Opposes Snyder in Box; Netmen in Three Matches. baseball team will make its debut in the scholastic series this after~- noon at Central High school, engaging the Western team, hailed as its most formidable rival, in a game starting at 3:15 p. Coech 2 Ahearn will undoubtedly send Larry Snyder to the mound for West- ern, and Coach Guyon, of Eastern, will retaliate with John Quinn, his ace, who last year carried his team through to the title virtually single-handed. In the event that the respective coaches change their minds before the game time, Edward Bates will be second choice for Western and Oehmann will be alternate for Eastern. Western, with a well-balanced team which appears strong on paper, will line-up with Capt. Hilleary in center field, F. Owens in left field, Walker in right field, Wilson as catcher, Wolcott at second, Q. Owens at first, Stevens at shortstop and Loney at third. J 'HE champion Eastern High School The probable batting order of Eastern will be Shapiro, left field; Cappeli, third base; McAllister, cen- ter fleld; Rankin, right field; Lis- ensky at second; Monroe at first; Knorr at shortstop, and Kidwell eatching. While the game will headline the day’s activities a number of other teams are to play in what promises to be good games. St. John’s and the George- town Freshmen wil] play at the Monu- ment grounds; Central will journey to Garrett Park to meet. Georgetown Prep; Woodward and Friends will hold forth on Friend’s field, and important tennis matches will bring together Devitt and Episcopal, Woodward and St. Alban’s and Eastern and Western.

Jefford’s Mars packed 124 pounds and raced fourteen other thoroughbreds dizzy in the $25,000 Dixie handicap today, and ran the mile and three-sixteenth in 1:592-5, Cily one-fifth of a second behind the record for the race made by Chacolet.in 1924 Display, last year’s Preakness winner, was second, the Seagram stable’s Edisto third and Hal Price Headley’s Helen's Babe fourth. The victory .was a popular one for Mars, coupled with Edith Cavell in the betting, was made the public choice, and paid $5.60 to win. Marylanders were disappointed when Single Foot failed to finish in the money He was a contender for a while, but dropped out of it when the stretch was reached. - When the field was released Helen’s Babe, Montferrat, Amber- jack and Single Foot were running head and head past the stand, with Mars and Edith Cavell right behind them. Display and Edisto were trailing at this time. Straightened out on the back stretch, Coltiletti took Mars to the outside as Monferrat opened up a lead. Before the far turn was reached Mars had taken command and Display was moving up on the outside, while Helen’s Babe was still in contention. At this point Singlefoot began to drop out of it. Turning for home, it was a certainty that the race was between Mars and Display. Coltiletti put up a vigorous ride én the son of Man o’ War through the stretch and he won by a length from Display, which also was doing its best to stall off the rush of Edisto. A field of fifteen started and the race netted the winner $23,975. After a sunny morning, threat- ening clouds shut down at. noon. But the sun broke through and the gay old track was a pitcure in green, gold and white. The oriole flag flew over the clubhouses and grand- stand, and 20,000 people swarmed over the lawns. K..E. Hitt’s colt Miracle, an outsider in the wagering, won the fifth race, the. Ashburton purse for 3-year-olds, by a nose from the McLean stable’s Jock which, in a few more strides, would have been the winner. The early pace-maker, Dighus cropped out of contention rounding the stretch and Miracle and Jock dueied for the remainder of the route Miracle faltered in the final running but Lang. on Jock, was not able to get up to the winner. Jock was the even-money favorite, Guerdon. anotner highly regarded. was never a contender The first race of the meet went to the Brookmeade stable’s Favorite II. which led from start to finish It was the winner’s first start and he stepped the half mile in 0:49 flat to take the verdict from Gladys Clark, which placed.

Nats Trade Myer tor Rigney In Move to Bolster Defense Youthful Shortstop Dismissed by Harris for ~ Boston Utility Infielder—Erratic Field- ing and Poor Hitting Disappointing. By FRANK H. YOUNG. EALIZING that, unless several of his pitchers suddenly develop winning ways, it is necessary that the Nationals’ bolster their defense, Manager Harris yesterday traded Short- stop Buddie Myer to the Red Sox for Emory Rigney. The latter hustled over from Philadelphia in time to play in yesterday’s game, while Myer is due to report to Manager Carrigan in the Sleepy City, where Boston is playing, today. . Myer was a flash while with New Orleans and when he was purchased by the Nats in the waning days of the 1925 season, he was generally rated as one of the most promising rookies of the year, despite the fact that at the time, he was unable‘to play because of a leg injury. Last season, he showed enough promise to win the regular shortfield berth from Roger Peckinpaugh, one of the stars of the game who was on the wane, and the veteran was disposed of during the off-season and Myer told the job was his. This year, however, Myer has failed to live up to the promise he gave last season. For some yn- known reason he has proven him-. self an erratic fielder, while his hitting has fallen off. He simply has not fit into the Washington infield, his most glaring weakness being on double-play attempts. These two-ply killings save any num- ber of runs throughout a season as, day after day, with one out and a mar on third, they end. the inning without the runner scoring. — Manager Harris has worked with Myer for hours, but little or no progress has been made. On plays which the youngster has started, he has not de- veloped the knack of feeding Harris the ball properly at second, while on those started by the middle-sacker. { a Myer has failed time and again be- |. cause of lost motion que to his ap- parent inability to throw while on the run or because of bad heaves. The deal will bring to Washington a player in Rigney who has had consid- erably more experience than Myer and while with the Detroit club in the seasons before 1926 was rated as one of the foremost shortstops in the league. An injury affected his playing at Detroit and he was traded to Boston with Third Baseman Fred Henry last season “On general principles, I. do not favor trading a youngster for a ‘ veteran,” said Harris, in discussing the deal, which-was made at his suggestion, “but I am satisfied that Myer is not yet ready for the ma- jors and I simply had to get a good, steady man to fill this important position in our infield, Right now, Rigney wil} help us more than —— It’s a Regular > Tonic— A Turkish ee given our better afer vio or a hard Relaxi soothing take « a see surroundings, ‘ conveniences, as well as sanitary arrangements, wilt iAeEe as. y app peal to you. there is a first-class barber shop, masseurs and - chiropo- dist at your service, Myer, and it is right how that I need help.” Myer outhit Rigney last year, .304 to .270, but that. the latter is a heavier hitter is indicated by the fact that he was credited with 14 more doubles and 3 more homers, each getting 6 three- baggers. in fielding, there was no comparison, Rigney leading all of the American league shortstops with an average of .967, while Buddie ranked (CONTINUED ON "PAG!

T was the same old story at the Georgia avenue stadium yesterday against the Yankees. Manager Har- ris was unable to trot out a capable the league leaders added another vic- tory to their string, 9 to 6. Stanley Coveleskie, veteran spit-baller, who has been on the shelf for some time, thought he was ready, but it only took the New Yorkers two tm- nings to show him his mistake. Gar- land Braxton then took up the burden and, although his offerings were touchs ed for five hits and two runs, he was effective in spots, giving the large Mon- day crowd an opportunity to do a Iit- tle cheering in the fifth and sixth frames when he fanned five In round five, after Combs had lied off with a single and worked his way to third on a theft and wild pitch, the slim southpaw settled down and sent Koenig. Ruth and Gehrig, three of the famous four “murderers,” back to.the bench via the three-strike route in rapid order, In the next stanza Grabowski -. and Hoyt were ais victims,. while . Ruth also whiffed. rgain in the seventh canto. Alvin Crowder and Bob Burke finishec out the string and both were scored on. In view of the flying start which his mates gave him, Waite Hoyd did not have to extend himself, and he simply breezed along unti] the ninth when the Nats rallied to get two usée- less runs and to send him to the “towel” room, Wilcy Moore then step- ping on the hill and retiring the next three Nats in order. Tony “Poosh 'Em Up” Lazzeri was the hitting hero of the day. In the een he crashed out a homer into the stand in left center, while he also y credited with two safeties, “Jump Joe” Dugan pressed him for konos getting a triple and two one-basers, while Bluege and Speaker, with two. singles to their credit, were high gums for the Harrismen. Goslin, who had obtained at least one safety in the other fifteen games played, broke his streak by going hitless District fans were given two sur- prises when the starting line-ups were (CONTINUED ON PAGK 18, COLUMN 2.) 6 Hahn’s fifty.firet “Anniversary Sale”’ And for this week only.

GO AROUND MALL e" 4 Program Would Provide for Plaza at 15th and Penn- syivania Avenue. MANY TROLLEY TRACKS WOULD BE RIPPED UP Proposal May Result in Relo- cation of Department of Justice Project. A chain of new Federal buildings forming a boundary for the triangle south of Pennsylvania avenue and north of the Mall, as discussed at a conference of park and planning, fine arte and Treasury officials last week, was formally suggested to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon yesterday by the commission of fine arte. The plan would provide a plaza at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania ave- nue, removal of car tracks from Fif- teenth street to Fourteenth and to New York avenue, as previously discussed, and transformation of all east and west streets through the triangle into court- ways, to resemble the Paris Louvre. The commission offers no solution re- garding treatment north of Pennsyl- vania avenue, stating it always has recognized that at least so far as Sev- enth street, that side of the avenue can not be changed now in its essential character as a space to be occupied by private buildings. May Result in Relocation. The plaza treatment for Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania Avenue may result in relocation of the projected Department of Justice building, which was to have been situated as the south- east corner of these thoroughfares, to a point farther east along the south side of the Avenue, or to a location along the north side, near Judiciary Square, although this specific case was not touched in the report of the fine arts commission. The report of the commission in part follows: “Certain north and south streets must be carried from Pennsylvania Avenue through the Mall; for example, Fourteenth street, Twelfth street and Ninth street. Within the large areas so created opportunities are given for the’ development of courts such as those of the Palais Royal in Paris, the Louvre, and other monumental struc- tures of that city. “The plans for the new public build- ings have as yet not been submitted to the commission of fine arts, with the exception of the central portion of the building for the Department of Agriculture, the plans for which pro- vide for the completion of a building approved by the temporary commission which preceded the creation of the commission of fine ‘arts. Seek General Plan for Area. “This commission therefore suggests that pending the passage of the de- ficiency bill the best interests of all concerned will be subserved by the _consideration of a general plan for the treatment of the entire area from Third street to Fifteenth street. This will include the sstablishment of the fundamental principles above outlined. “The commission of fine arts re- spectfully suggests that the area be- tween B street, Pennsylvania avenue, Fourteenth street and Fifteenth street be treated as a unit. “The commission of fine arts calls your attention to the fact that under the plan herein outlined not only will the dignity of the buildings be pro- ~moted but also a great economy of space will result by reason of the fact that the upper floors will be continuous and the various government activities can have adequate expansion without being confined within the narrow limits imposed by separate buildings of com- paratively small size. In this way unequal expansion of the various activities of the govern- ment can be provided for. Such ex- pansion will not be possible if the buildings are in small units. Moreover, there will be ecenomy in reducing the number of facades, which should have. special treatment of a high class. In creating greater frontages it will be pos- sible to attain simplicity, which is, after all, the fundamental essential of ® dignified structure.” Merchants Ask Right To Examine Budgets Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the Mer- chants & Manufacturers association, yesterday applied, for his organization, for the privilege of examining the de- partmental estimates preliminary to the making of the 1928-1929 District budget on the same basis as the citizens’ ad-~- visory council. Last week the commissioners extend- ed the same privilege, on application, to the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade. They notified Secre- tary Shaw yesterday that his associa- tion also would be supplied with a copy of the estimates. Election of Officers In Columbia Heights Officers will be elected at the meet- ing tonight of the Columbia Heights Citizens’ association. The meeting will be held in the assembly hall of Colum- bia Heights Christian church, 1435 Park road northwest. James G. Yaden, chairman of the citizens’ advisory council; George R. Wales, Dr. George C. Havenner, Edwin 6. Hege, Col. Henry C. Newcomer, Ken- neth P. Armstrong and Robert 8. Stro- bel, members of the council, are to be the guests of the association. | TODAY'S HAPPENINGS | Lecture—“Sex Expression in Litera- ture,” by V. F.

MCRL RULES JERVEY COULD TAKE TRAFFIC JOB Retired Pay May Not Be Waived, Comptroller Tells City Heads. REPLY ARRIVES TOO LATE Arriving several days too late for ef- fectiveness, a ruling by Comptroller General McCarl yesterday held that Brig. Gen. Henry Jervey, retired army officer, could accept the post of traffic director and still retain his retired’ pay. Gen. Jervey withdrew his name several days ago, however, and the District commissioners will have to continue their search for a successor to M,. O. Eldridge, deposed traffic chief. McCarl ruled that no statutory pro- hibition exists which would preclude a retired army officer from taking the position of traffic director in the Dis- trict. The comptroller’s decision said: “The question of appointing a re- tired officer of the army to a civilian position is one to which there have been a number of decisions. The ques- tion with relation to such an appoint- ment under the District of Columbia has not been so frequent as with re- spect to appointments under the United States in a civilian place. The examination I have made of the mat- ter constrains me to say that I find no clear statutory prohibition upon the appointment you suggest.” ‘He ruled that an answer to the other question asked by the commis- sioners as to whether a retired army officer could waive his retirement pay while holding the office and could then again receive his pay upon reé- linquishing the office, was unneces- sary. “T think it well, notwithstanding, to say that it may be answered by a statement of the general principle that pay of any officer of the army which must include retired pay may not be waived,” he said. The commissioners had asked Mc- Carl if Gen. Jervey could be appointed to the post and still draw his retire- ment pay, provided the War Depart- ment approved. Commissioner Proctor Dougherty announced last night the new traffic director will be ap- pointed within a few days. As a re- sult of the withdrawal of Gen. Jervey, new applications for the post have been received and these will be con- sidered before any appointment is made, he said, MERCHANTS AROUSED BY POSTOFFICE MOVE Business Men at 17th and Pennsylvania Ave. Want Substation There. Announcement of the removal in the near future of the West End post- office substation from 1716 Pennsyl- vania avenue to 1728 H street has caused considerable indignation among merchants in the vicinity of Seven- teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue. The merchants consider the new lo- cation much inferior to the present location, pointing out that the station is being moved from one of the main thoroughfares to a relatively side street. The H street station is not situated so as to afford the best service to the greatest number, they say. One store owner in the vicinity stated that none of the store owners in the block was consulted about a new loca- tion and that a suitable building could have been found on the avenue if the merchants had known a new and larger building was needed. Postmaster W. M. Mooney admitted that a Pennsylvania avenue site some- where near the present site would be much more to his liking, but said that he personally had gone over the ground and found that the price of every suit- able location was prohibitive. The H street location was decided on because of excellent terms offered by the own- ¢r, who agreed to erect a suitable build- ing and rent it at a lower price than is paid for the West End station, he said. Federal Employers In District Increase Employment rolls of Federal em- ployes in the District showed a net gain of 89 for the month of March, ac- cording to figures of the United States civil service commission yesterday. Ad- ditions to the service were 861; separa- tions, 772, leaving a total of 59,591 at the end of the month. Net reductions by departments were the following: War, 20; Justice, 19; Ag-. riculture, 9; government printing office, 26; Federal Trade Commission, 1; alien property custodian, 1; public buildings and public parks office, 16; general ac- counting office, 12; veterans’ bureau, 3; War Finance Corporation, 1.

THREE ACTS STAND OUT Circus-hungry Washington appeased its appetite yesterday afternoon and night at the performances of. the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. Eight thou- sand men, women and children..flocked to the Camp Meigs grounds, Sixth'street and Florida avenue northeast, forthe afternoon show, while at the night per- formances, 10,000 crowded under the “big top.” Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, wo is a “dyed- in-the-wool circus fan,” accepted an jinvitation to attend this afternoon's performance, circus officials announced last night, although the President will be unable to attend. Representatives of virtually every embassy and legation. in the Capital, ‘Thigh State and government officials and scores of local personages were in the audience last night, which was one of the largest ever to attend a circus per- formance in this city. Hardly had the show begun when all reserved seats were sold out, resulting in scores being forced to stand and hundreds being turned away. The three-ring show excels in trained jungle animals, daring aerialists and expert horsemen. Three acts in par- ticular are on par with any of their kind ever exhibited in a circus here— the performance of Clyde Beatty caged with 15 trained animals, the “Flying Wards,” trapeeze acrobats, and the Orrin Davenport family of horsemen and horsewomen. Beatty's act furnished the entree for those seeking thrills. Six lions, six lionesses and three tigers, all of whom seemed in a very bad humor, snarled, clawed, growled and spit at the young animal subjugator as he put them through their paces. Those whose thrill cravings were not satisfied by Beatty, found more thrills in the twist- ing, tumbling three men and three women of the Ward family of aerialists. The show was opened by Bert Cole, leather-lunged announcer, whose voice thundered to all parts of the tent as he foretold the wonders of “Geisha,” the opening spectacle. Then followed in rapid succession the performances of fifteen elephants, a herd of camels, |horse racing and jumping acts, bare- back riders, acrobats, llamas, dog- pony-and-monkey acts, wild West show and band concert, and a host of clowns in grotesque costumes, who exe- cuted the mirth provoking tricks, which never grow old. Throughout the show came the crys of “pop” and “ice cream cones,” coupled with the familiar guttural moans and growls from the animals, A squadron of policemen under com- mand of Capt. Charles T. Peck, of the Ninth precinct, handled the huge throngs with celerity and with no semblance of confusion. The army of | lemonade, peanut, candy, balloon and cane salesmen, who seem a part of every circus, were on hand. The per- formances will be repeated. again today at 2:30 o’clock and tonight at 8 o’clock. Alumni of Boston U. To Organize Tonight Nearly 100 graduates of Boston uni- in Stoneleigh Courts at 7 o’clock to organize a Boston University club. Alumni Secretary Robert F.

Expectation Is That Fully $10,000 Will Be Collected Today as Grand Total. nan, ALL SCOUTS ARE CALLED TO DO THEIR UTMOST Crowds Hear Marine Band Play, Calling Attention to Benefit at Earle Theater. With subscriptions totalling $10,. 215.60 in hand, workers in the cam- paign to raise $140,000 for the District war memorial were hopeful last night that this amount would be more than doubled when team captains make their report at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Yes- terday’s report, at 1 o'clock, was made up of comparatively few subscriptions on Sunday and those obtained on Mon- day morning, the larger part obtained in half a day. With a full 24 hours behind them, it was pointed out, team workers hope to bring the total col- lected today to more than $320,000. Today was designated “Boy Scout” day of the campaign in honor of the boy and girl scouts who are helping the workers by the distribution of contribution envelopes and campaign buttons. A proclamation urging par- ticipation of the Boy Scouts in the campaign .was issued last night by L. A. Snead, president, and Barry Mohun, commissioner, of the District Boy Scouts. Scouts Called to Campaign. “All scouts in the District of Colum- bia are called upon to do their ut- most in helping to achieve the pur- poses of this campaign,” said the proclamation. “As patriots, all Boy Scouts must bear in mind that the future welfare of our country depends upon the spirit exemplified by those to whom the memorial is to be erected. It is the duty of scouts to perpetuate this spirit, and never to let it die. Scouts justly take pride in the fact that they are given an opportunity to. assist in this enterprise. While to- day is designated Scout ‘day, let every day during this week be a Scout day with us. Let this good turn. be one that will leave its mark and be re- membered by all of us in years to come with the pride that comes of duty well done.” Large crowds gathered last night at Thirteen and E streets to hear the opening. concert of a series by the Marine band, calling attention to the benefit performance at the Earle theater. Frederic William Wile, speak- ing over WRC, urged success.in the memorial project. Subscribers and Amounts. The names and amounts subscribed by contributors as reported yesterday follow: . M.
