The Geneva hotel proprietors can’t see where folks get the idea that the dismemberment conference has been a failure.

SAFE DRIVING CALLED PROFIT TO MOTORISTS Out of 447 Autos Tested for Headlights Only 7 Found Perfectly Adjusted. The local motorist’s purse, as well as the lives of himself and neighbors, has benefited by what already has been accomplished in Washington by Traffic Bureau officials and police toward re- ducing the traffic fatality rate and other dangers in driving. As a result, the automobile owner now has the benefit of a public liability insurance rate for his automobile as low as any in a city similar in size. The rate has been reduced here, while in many other cities it has been in- creased. Any reduction or increase de- pends largely upon a reduction or in- crease in the percentage .of death claims, based upon the number of in- surees, which the insurance companies have to pay in a city. In the public lability policy the au- tomobile owner insures his car against killing a person. The automobile owner is liable for damages, and the insur- ance is a protection against the pay- ment of damages for causing death. Careful Driving, Insurance Less. Any improvement in the insurance rate therefore indicates directly an im- provement in careful driving, and con- versely, any noticeable improvement in careful driving, such as will show it- self in black and white figures, will bring an improvement in the insurance rate. For the $5,000 and $10,000 policy, or, in other words, for the payment of $5,000 damages to relatives for a per- son killed, or $10,000 for two persons killed, the local automobile owner now pays $20, whereas formerlyhe paid $22 annually. This is based on a standard make of car of medium price. The insurance company goes on the theory that the owner of a medium price car is not as likely to kill a person carelessly as the owner of a car of lowert price. De- spite the multitude of exceptions to this rule, the insurance companies seem to have figures to substantiate this gen- eral conclusion. Therefore, the owner of a car of lowest price will have to pay a proportionately higher insurance rate. However, the owner of the same me- | dium price car in New York must pay $107 annually for the same protection against payment of damages for death The same protection costs, in Buffalo, N. Y., $57; in Philacelphia, $59; in Providence, R. I. $45; in Cleveland CONTINUED ON PAGE 5, COLUMN 3. Chicago Bootleggers Drop Auto for Horse | Chicago, July 9 district.

Po- | pride of the | days Gain for Coolidge Claimed As He Booms South Dakota Northwest Railroad Men Call at Lodge as They Plan Big Tourist Development on Heels of President's Visit—Politics at Work. By CARLISLE BARGERON, (Staff Correspondent of The Post.) Rapid City, S. Dak., July 9.—Presi- dent Coolidge has won the western half of this State, at least, and North Dakota is subdued. Gov. Al Smith is unacceptable not only to this State but the Middle West. This is the analysis of the situation as given by the politi- cal prognosticators at this listening post. It does seem hard to dispute Mr. Coolidge’s claim to western South Da- kota. He has done too much for the section in an advertising way for it not to be appreciated. Only ‘oday three railroad officials involved in a proposed merger of the Northern Pa- cific and Great Northern Railway sys- tems called on Mr. Coolidge at the lodge. Application for the merger is now pending before or on its way to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Most likely there was some discussion of the merger with the President, but the main thing that brought the offi- cials cut here was to make plans to harvest the boom whi.. thc President has given to the country. The officials were Hale Holden, presi- dent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which is controlled by the Northern Pacific; Howard E. Elliott, chairman of the board oi the Northern Pacific and an old friend of the Presi- dent, and Charles E. Perkins, genera) manager of the Burlington. Their plans are to build a $1,000,000 hotel in the vicinity of Custer, about 50 miles from here and about 15 from the lodge, and a $750,000 hotel here in Rapid City, which normally has about 1,000 population. The railroad executives told the President that a bumper grain crop would be moved over Western railroads this year. Mr. Holden said he looked for a movement of 80,000,000 bushels from Nebraska alone as compared with 33,- 000,000 last year. “I have never seen agriculture look better west of the Miesissippi River, and east of the Missouri. The hot sun is bringing everything along in great shape,” he said. Now there are some who contend that eastern South Dakota, the farm- ing region, is not being carried away with the enthusiasm for Coolidge. Come to think of it, there have been CONTINUED ON PAGE 6, COLUMN 32, 100 OF MORE LIVES LOST IN OUDDEN ELBE FLOOD 7-Foot Wave Throws Many saxony Towns Into Chaos, Killing Scores.

Buenos Aires, July 9 (A.P.).—Twenty- one persons were injured in a riot be- fore the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace, tonight when 10,000 Argentin- lans thronged the Plaza de Mayo in pro- test against the music of the national anthem, recently revised by the gov- ernment, and became uneasy because President de Alvear, they thought, had ignored them. Police, mounted and on foot, were stoned in an attempt to charge and disperse the manifestants. Firemen Cleared the plaza by playing heavy streams of water on the rioters. The riot occurred just after the mili- tary parade, held on the occasion of Nueve Julio, the Argentine independ- ence day. President de Alvear, his soldiers, was about to withdraw from the balcony. This was construed by the crowd as tantamount to being ignored.

FLASHLIGHTS ARE USED Jaspar Park, Canada, July 9 (A-P.). One of the most sensational and dan- gerous feats in the annals of Canadian mountain climbing has been achieved by Alfred J. Ostheimer, jr., of Philadel- phia, and Hans Fuhrer, a Swiss guide in the Columbia ice field, “roof of the continent.” In 36 hours of arduous climbing. with death lurking long their trail, they made two first ascents of peaks in the 11,000-foot class and opened up a new route to one of the 12,000-foot class peaks of the great Columbia range. Much of the climbing was done at night, under dangerous ice and snow conditions and bitter cold. A lantern and a flashlight were their guide. Mr, Ostheimer is head of the Ameri- can scientific party which is now at the ice field and will explore this vast and virtually unknown area this summer. With Fuhrer he reached the edge of the great ice field in a blizzard, but the two proceeded to climb the North Twin, 12,085 feet high, che third peak in the range. Marching all night, they ascended Mount Stutfield 11,350 feet high. Then in danger of freezing if they stopped, they forged on by lantern and flash- light over the broken ice field. In the early morning they reached the sum- mit of Mount Kitchener, 11,500 feet in altitude, and thence made their way back to camp—all in 36 hours of steady climbing. Word of their feat was brought back to Jaspar by a courier. The party of scientists, who set out from Jaspar eighteen days ago to ex- plore this region, has already achieved important results. They have been fol- lowing the footsteps of the first fur traders on the trail they blazed along the headwaters of the Columbia River down to the Pacific Coast. Besides Mr. Ostenheimer, the party consists of John Delaittre, of Minneapolis, Minn., and W. R. MacLaurin, of Boston. The outfit comprises two Swiss guides, two packers and a cook. Besides studying the geology and making maps of the region and classifying the fauna and flora of the area, the party will also attempt a thorough survey of the Clemenceau ice field, lying north of the Columbia field. 15 Injured in Wreck Of Rock Island Flier Goodwin, Ark., July 9 (AP.).—The list of injured in a wreck of the Rock Island Railroad’s flier “Californian,” near here early today, stood at fifteen tonight, with only one person reported in a serious condition.

The proposal was defeated, 4 to 5, after a long de- bate. Members of the committee voting for issuance of a proclamation embody- ing the charges, according to the American, were Arthur J.

LORD CECIL REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW WORDS ‘American Threatens to Quit Meeting at “Nonsense” Accusation. ‘NEW PROPOSAL STUDIED: MIGHT BE COMPROMISE ‘London’s Delegates Suggest Treaty Deal Only With Building Programs. Geneva, Switzerland, July 9 (A.P.). The tripartite naval conference almost broke up today. Reliable information concerning the happenings at a secret session of the executive committee this morning has it that Lord Cecil went so far in the course of the tumultuous discussion of the cruiser problem as to bang his fist on the table and exclaim, “This is perfect nonsense.” Lord Cecil exploded in this fashion after Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, of the American delegation, had quietly delivered an explanation of the Ameri- can proposal concerning cruisers. Hugh 8S. Gibson, head of the delega- tion, who already haa listened to a re- proach made at an earlier session by Cecil, is understood to have risen to his feet at this point and to have declared with firmness that unless Lord Cecil withdrew this remark, Mr. Gibson would be obliged to leave. Cecil withdrew it. Americans “Unreasonable.” An earlier incident of the hectic ses- sion was furnished also by Lord Cecil, who is reported to have asserted with some heat that the Americans were always unreasonable, because al- ways wanted to have their ny Vice Admiral Field, of the British delegation, also is understood to have contributed to the discord between “the high conflicting parties” when, after the delivery of an American argu- ment that cruisers necessarily must be measured by total tonnage, he ex- claimed: “Total tonnage? Why, it means noto- ing more to the average mind than mere gallons!” Such were the outstanding incidents of the meeting, which only served to increase the conviction among the par- ticipants and observers that things were going very badly in the three- power disarmament conference. Mr. Gibson insisted that tangible could be achieved unless the delegates “could break» the back” of the cruiser difficulty, and he made it clear that anything the British desired to lay down in warships or building programs must necessarily be translated into terms of total tonnage. nothing New Proposal by British. At the end of the session the British tried to drive home a proposal that the projected naval treaty should be con- fined to building programs in cruisers, | instead of being concerned with war- ships already in existence, and returned to their old demand that a definite agreement be reached on the number , of 10,000-ton cruisers which the United | States, Great Britain and Japan would be permitted to possess. This did not harmonize with the | American idea of the treaty, because | the American delegation, like the Jap- | anese delegation, wants to get a defi- nite limit on total tonnage as the only | possible logical, commonsense arrange- ment. Nevertheless, this British sug- i gestion is being studied assidiously | both by the experts and the plenipoten- tiaries. Private conversations continued this afternoon between the delegates and will doubtless be resumed tomorrow, despite the Sabbath, because all seem fearful that on Monday, unless the tension is lessened, the conference may actually collapse. Insists on Plenary Session. W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, has insisted on a plenary session Monday in order that he may expound the British thesis on cruisers in public, and has served no- tice also on Mr. Gibson that on this public occasion he will address to him a series of questions touching on con- ference problems. He refuses, however, to disclose the nature of these ques- tions. Unless the _ situation improves by Monday, it is conceivable that Mr. Gib- son may definitely ask the British dele- gation to say “Yes” or “No,” whether it is disposed to reduce its cruiser fig- ures. This would mean that Mr. Bridgeman would be expected to answer and to indicate by that answer whether any useful purpose could be served by continuing the Geneva negotiations.

2 DISTRICT OFFICIALS ARE HELD NEGLIGENT BY EFFICIENCY HEAD Report Declares Auto Dealers Are Given License Plate Privilege. UNTIDINESS IS CHARGED IN HALLS OF BUILDING Bureau. Says Crouse-Hinds Lettets to Dougherty Went Unanswered. THE WASHINGTON POST: New criticisms of District authorities | and their methods were included in three reports of the Bureau of Effi- ciency submitted to the Commissioners yesterday. Loose regulations concern- ing dealers’ automobile licenses were | said by the bureau investigators to dis- criminate in favor of automobile deal- ers, giving them a privilege no one else enjoys. Amendment of the traffic code | was recommended. Storage of automobile license plates in the corridor of the first floor was| denounced as untidy, and Herbert D. | Brown, chief of the bureau, pointed out | to Proctor L. Dougherty, president of | the board of District Commissioners, that he had failed to acknowledge a let- ter from the Crouse-Hinds Co., of Syra- cuse, N. Y., respectfully asking when they might expect delayed payment for electric traffic signals. Concerning the dealers’ tags, the bu- reau report says that motor car dealers are permitted to use the D tags on cars used in their business, which permits them to change the tags from one truck to another, a privilege extended to no other truck owner. The bureau not only suggests that this use of D tags be no longer permitted, but that dealers be required to keep strict record of the | persons driving cars to which D tags are attached. Theft. The second report says that there are. 7,500 pairs of license plates stored in | the west and south corridors of the) first floor of the District Building, and | adds: “A large number of the tags are ex- posed to view and are easily accessible to anybody wishing to appropriate one or more sets. Furthermore, the opened boxes and packages are mutilated and give an unsightly appearance to the halls.” It is conceded that during the an- nual renewal period it is necessary to have the license plates available in large numbers, but it is averred that “during the remaining eleven months of the year necessity for the emergency storage does not exist.’’ Since not to exceed 25 or 30 sets of tags are issued daily, it is recommended that four or five days’ supply be kept in the office of Wade H. Coombs, su- perintendent of licenses, and the re- mainder be stored in the lower base- ment where they can easily be trucked t. e elevators. Regretted by Dougherty. “It is too bad the bureau has to point out all these things,” said Com- missioner Dougherty. “I spoke to Coombs myself about those tags a long time ago.” The next report, however, was on Dougherty. The first of the sums owing to the Crouse-Hinds Co. for traffic Signals that were recently the subject of investigation, are in arrears two years. The corporation wrote to Dough- erty asking when payment could be arranged for. Receiving no reply, the company wrote a second letter, and at the same time wrote to Brown, saying: “It was our understanding that this was the proper method of procedure, but evidently not, as we have neither received’ payment for the signals nor an acknowledgment of our letter.” Brow:.. jogged the memory of the Commissioner and informed him that he had written to the Crouse-Hinds concern that failure to acknowledge the letter was surely an oversight.

MAN'S ARM 1S TORN OFF FUNERAL PREACHER DEMANDS NO AUTO HITS BUS MDE | Charles Duerr, a Passenger. From Alexandria, Victim of Fleeing Stolen Car. MACHINE IS FOUND LATER | A speeding stolen automobile swerved | into the side of a A. B. & W. bus on the Mount Vernon boulevard near Lacy Springs, Va., the left arm of Charles Duerr, 55 years | old, of Alexandria, Va., from his shoul- | der. Duerr is in a serious condition | at the Alexandria City Hospital. The automobile, which was stolen | from James Nelson, prominent opto-_| metrist. of 2844 Wisconsin avenue | northwest, yesterday morning, was found abandoned at Potomac, Va., about an hour after the accident, one of the most unusual that ever occurred in Arlington County. Duerr, a baker, was seated on the left | side of the bus with his arm dangling out of the window. Witnesses said that | the automobile approached the bus at a speed of approximately 55 miles an hour and was swerving from side to side of the road. ,it struck the bus a glancing blow and Duerr’s arm was caught in a han- dle on the door of the machine. The | handle was torn off. Alonzo Carter, 32 years old, of Alexandria, driver of the bus, stopped immediately. Other pas- sengers placed an improvised tourni- quet, made of their neckties, on Duerr’s shoulder and stopped the flow of blood. Nelson’s automobile was reported stolen at 6 o’clock. The accident oc- curred more than two hours later. Nel- son said that a colored man was sent from the Kaplan & Crawford garage, 1418 P street northwest, for his ma- chine yesterday morning. The man failed to appear at the garage with the machine and the garage owners asked police to search for him. The fenders on the automobile were crushed and a left hand was found in it when it was located at Potomac. SANITY HEARING PLEA TODAY BY P. JACKSON last night and tore | Assailant of Woman From Chair. Philip Jackson, colored, condemned to die July 29 in the electric chair for & brutal assault on a white woman in the Capitol Grounds on February 18, will have an opportunity tomorrow to present to Justice Hoehling, in Criminal Court, a reason for an investigation into his sanity. Unless John H. Wilson, his counsel, | | is able to make a prima facie showing | /that a lunacy investigation should be made, Justice Hoehling will overrule the demand for such an investigation. After that nothing short of Executive clemency will save the accused from the electric chair. Wilson already has introduced affi- davits touching upon JacKkKson’s mental | condition, all of which suggest that | the latter is of unsound mind. Some- | thing more definite and conclusive | must be produced tomorrow, according | to the court’s ultimatum. If Wilson is able to produce something of a definite and conclusive nature Jackson will be given a lunacy hearing on Tuesday. If a hearing is held it will be restricted to the mental condition of the accused as it is at the time of the hearing.

The authorities were re- luctant to divulge the results of their | questionings last night and were .ad- mittedly little encouraged by these re- sults.

The colored man said that’'he saw a man leaving the woods near the Mills farm early Thursday morning, when the mur- der was committed, and, reaching the State road, follow that in the direc- tion of Gaithersburg. The description which the colored man gave tallied exactly with that given by Miles. The bullet-riddled body of Mills was its grave in Forest Hill Cemetery, Gaithersburg, yestreday aft- ernoon, on the forty-seventh anniver- sary of the birth of the farmer who met such a tragic death. More than 700 persons in 150 auto- mobiles took part in the funeral pro- cession, which began at 2 o’clock.

HEART-BROKEN FATHER IN WOODS DURING NIGHT Police and Campers, With Lanterns, Call to Lad Without Avail. After a twenty-hour search, Harold Bennett, 5 years old, 1236 Girard street northwest, was found at 11:45 o’clock yesterday morning dead. His body was recovered from the Potomac River, a short distance from the place where he was last seen at 4:30 o’clock Friday afternoon, 1 mile above Key Bridge. Thomas Donelson, a river veteran, employed at the Reynold boathouse, discovered the body. Shortly after the news was broadcast Friday that the boy had disappeared while swimming, Donelson set out to drag the river. When the black cloak of night descend- ed upon the water, the river veteran joined the land searchers. Shortly after dawn he set out again to drag the waters and his grappling hook snared the lad’s red bathing suit after five hours of labor. The body was taken to the District Morgue, where Morris Bennett, tne | broken-hearted father, identified the body. Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt,. coroner, certified death from accidental drown- ing. The body was given over to a funeral director and taken home last night. Funeral arrangements were not completed at that time. The lad, with his brother, Kenneth Bennett, 13 years old, was visiting rela- tives in Park Lane, Arlington County, Va. For the last two weeks, the broth- ers and their cousins, Nathan and Theodore Poppowski, of Park Lane, had been going in swimming near the Davis float, one mile above Chain Bridge. Shortly after 4:30 o’clock Friday, the younger Bennett lad called to his com- panions: “I’m going out.” He had spoken his last words. The companions said they saw him start to swim ashore, but a short time later when they left the water, Harold could not be found. Police and campers were notified and a search for the boy be- gan. Through the long hours of the night, when river dragging was impossible, more than 75 persons comprised a posse which searched the woods throughout the darkness until dawn, swinging lanterns and calling the boy’s name. Throughout the vigil, the heart-broken father watched the search. At dawn, hope for finding the lad was on the wane. At daybreak a half dozen boats, augmented by the craft of the harbor police, again began to drag the waters. Besides his father and brother, old is survived by his mother sister, Helen Bennetvy.

In the middie of the Atlantic Ocean, &@ small sailing schooner, known 4s the Nicanor battles bravely against huge gray-green waves. On board the boat are five Harvard students, of whom one, the captain, is Daniel Si- monds, 21 years old, a son of Mrs. Lansing Simonds, of Washington. S5Si- monds and his companions are on their way to the celebrated regatta at Cowes, England. Two weeks ago yesterday, the Nicanor, hatches battened down against a brewing storm off the New England Coast, sailed out of the crowded harbor of Marblehead, Mass., on its transat- lantic voyage. Few persons knew any- thing about the adventure. The five young men had said little concerning their intention. The score or so of sail- ing vessels that dotted the waters off Marblehead only perceived a two- masted schooner, of the common fish- erman type, heading for the open sea. The Nicanor is 58 feet long from the sweep of the rakish stern to the bow- sprit. In the schooner’s hold, when it sailed out of Marblehead harbor, were canned provisions sufficient for six weeks’ daily consumption. There was no crew aboard. Simonds, owner and commander of the boat, stood on deck with his navigator, a young Boston law student. Three other friends, also students, acted the part of sailors, hoisting the sails on the Nicanor’s two masts, pulling the ropes, climbing the rigging to perform a seaman’s duties. Hardened, salt-incrusted old fishermen on their way from Gloucester to the Grand Banks, might have smiled at their youthful enthusiasm. Anxiety reigns among the young men’s families at home, while the slender craft makes its first brave ad- venture toward the coast of England. Until it reaches Cowes, there will be mo word for those who wait. The Nicanor is not equipped with wireless or radio. Furthermore, Simonds is care- fully avoiding the usual steamer lanes. fearful of being run down by a great ocean liner in the night or fog. The studiously charted course of the Nica- nor will carry it in a slight northern arc above such dangers as these. There are other dangers, for the ocean has not been kind to the young mariners. In their path, winds and storms have raised enormous waves, and » er ‘CALESTHENIC DRILL STARTS CAMP WORK FOR EUSTIO YOUTH Saturday Half Holiday Spent on Athletic Fields and Swimming Pool. RELIGIOUS SERVICES TODAY COMPULSORY Impressive Ceremonies To- weather reports are still unfavorable. The five men on board the Nicanor had hoped to out-do the feat accomplished last year by Frederick Ames, of Boston. who made almost a similar crossing in less than a month. Whether this will be pdssible under present circumstances remains problematical. Friends hazard a@ guess that the Nicanor, neat, trim, freshly coated and varnished when it sailed, will need a> new coat of paint and the reburnishing of its bright, gilt letters when it reaches England. The buffeting storms will have left their mark. Meanwhile, those at home continue to hope that the voyage will be entirely successful. When the schooner arrives at Cowes, it will be overhauled, and streamers and pennants flown from Its masts. Simonds and his four com- panions will take part in the pageantry which distinguishes the world’s most famous yachting event. The King and Queen of England will attend. Among the American boats to salute the royal yacht Albert and Victoria will be the schooner Nicanor, as fresh looking as on the day it sailed boldly out of Marblehead harbor. STORE EMPLOYES HOLD OUTING IN MARYLANG Woodward & Lothrop Host to Firm Workers at Morgantown.

Are Studying Soviet Moscow, July 9 (A.P.).—American students who have come to Russia to study conditions have been the guests for several days of Soviet students and the educational authorities, and have been accorded an opportunity to look into Russia’s educational system and student life. Replying to one of the Americans as to how Soviet students best could be assisted, Vice Commissioner of Edu- cation Hodorovsky specified the neces- sity of explaining to their nationals the true existing situation in Russia, close affiliation of student bodies ‘and mu- tual exchange of books, but chiefly by opposing “the press campaign of lies and calumies against the union.” The Americans were reinforced by a group of 32 students who arrived from the Polish border today. Georgia Drops Fight For Gwinnett Paper Atlanta, July 9 (A.P.).—The State of Georgia has abandoned its legal fight to recover the famous Button Gwinnett document, T. R. Gress, assistant at- torney general, announced today. Georgia’s claim of ownership to the document, which disappeared from its archies about a decade and a half ago, was recently denied by the New York Court of Appeals. The case attracted nation-wide at- tention because of the rarity of the signature of Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one time Governor of Georgia. The docu- ment, which was the will of Joseph Stanley, a colonial merchant of Savan- nah, and witnessed by Button Gwin- nett, was valued at more than $20,000.

CHASE ENDS IN CRASH; in front of 1040 Blandensburg road | northeast, early yesterday, resulted in the wrecking of an automobile, the) seizure of 480 quarts of alleged liquor and the arrest of two men by the police flying squadron, led by Sergt. George Little. The liquor squad was concealed in a wooded thicket near the District line when the automobile whizzed past and | the race began. The chase ended on Bladensburg road when the pursued car crashed with a telegraph pole and was demolished. Those arrested were: | Norman Van Horn, 21 years old, 3615 | Thirty-seventh street northeast, and Jack Leavitt, 24 years old, 621 H street northwest. Both suffered minor injuries and after treatment were taken to the Ninth Precinct, where charges of trans- portating liquor and reckless driving were placed against Van Horn and il- legal possession was placed against) Leavitt. An additional charge of reck- | less driving, which occurred in June when Van Horn escaped the clutches of | police after a chase, was placed against | him. Following the chase the flying squad- | ron raided 1119 First street southwest. The front and rear of the house was) guarded, and the negro who answered , the policemen’s summons bolted the. doors and escaped through a side win- | dow.

Fort Eustis, July 9.—The 1,500 can- didates at the Citizens Military Train- ing Camp here are gradually working into Army routine, with the comple- tion today of registration and the pre- liminaries which succeeded the opening of the camp yesterday. Most candidates were given a half holiday today be- cause of Saturday, but when the full camp reports for duty Monday morn- ing it will be a hard-working, hard- playing military organization. This morning the candidates who have remained in camp will attend religious services, separate services having been arranged for the various creeds, and attendance of candidates at the services of the faiths which they profess will be compulsory. The entire camp this morning too« part im calesthenic drill, the first de- tail in which all candidates have par- ticipated. Later in the morning they divided for attendance at lectures on military and patriotic subjects. In the afternoon the athletic facilities of the camp were taxed, the swimming pool, tennis courts and baseball diamonics proving great attractions for those in | camp.

CALAIS AND DUNKIRK MAKE THEM CITIZENS Rival Flier May Beat Drouhin | to Take-Off; Levine Pays His Pilot $150,000. le Toquet, France, July 9 (A.P.).— Commander Byrd and the Prince of Wales were under the same roof for sev- @ral hours this evening, but they did not meet. The prince was in the play room of the casino, while the com- Mander was the guest of honor at a} Danquet given by the mayor. The prince expressed a desire to meet Commander Byrd, gO to banquet could not leave the ever, the two tomorrow, and not for the the com- Mander was the guest of the prince on Long Island several years ago. Byrd retired after midnight while the prince | remained in the baccarat room of the casino, having a fine run of luck. Le Toquet tonight is enjoying the most thrilling hours since its founda- tion by French and English capitalists. The transatlantic fliers came into the resort at sundown, with the bands playing and the crowds cheering. The Prince of Wales came here in the morn- ing strictly incognito Before reaching this resort Com- mander Byrd and his companions ex- perienced the welcome of the provin- cial folk Leaving Paris the airmen were first welcomed at Calais, a city many Anglo-Saxons pass through, but few see, where they were welcomed by the mayor and signed the gold book. Thence they proceeded to Dunkirk, a Naval aviation base during the war. Similar ceremonies were carried out there. | People Brave Rain. was tunable to while Byrd banquet will meet but the room, How- first time, as In both cities the people stood in the! rain to cheer the Americans and see! the homor of citizenship conferred. The commander of the America won the hearts of the residents of Dunkirk when after the ceremonies he walked into the rain and laid a wreath at the foot of the statue of the town’s his- toric hero, Jean Bart, a rollicking buc- caneer of a day when heroes stayed on land or water and did not take to the air. From Dunkirk they went to Etaples, accompanied by half a hundred of their fellow countrymen, members of the American Chamber of Commerce of Paris. The special train was welcomed by four young women in provincial costume such as was worn in the North of France before airplanes and bobbed hair were fashionable. One of the young women gave Commander Byrd a huge wreath of blossoms and the band struck up the national anthem. This obliged Commander Byrd to stand at attention, while at the same time French custom demanded that he kiss the cheeks of the young woman who had given him the flowers. After a short period of embarrassment the commander succeeded in satisfying | both French and America customs. Made Citizen Twice. | Paris, July 9 (By A. P.).—Commander Richard E. Byrd tonight boasts citi- zenship of at least three cities in the world. Both Dunkirk and Calais con- ferred this signal honor on him today, and the people of these ports paid their tribute in appreciative manner. Paris gave the four men of the Amer- fea a good send-off when they said farewell to the capital at noon. The station was crowded. The last morning of the aviators in Paris was taken up for the most part in packing their formidable accumula- tion of belongings. Then they set forth for the coast, eventually reaching Le Touquet, France’s newest and most fashionable seaside resort. On Tuesday they will bourg, where they board the Levia- than for the homeward journey. Un- til then there is nothing for them to do but rest. Levine Has New Rival. Charles A. Levine and his French pilot, Maurice Drouhin, are likely to have a French competitor for their pro- jected westward transatlantic flight, says the Petit Parisien. The paper declares that Dieudonne Coste, who at one time held the long- distance record with Capt. Rignot, is said to be negotiating with the Belgian government for the loan of a Breguet machine in which Lieut. George Medaet, the Belgian aviator, was planning to break the present long-distance record. The machine ts said to have a range of flight of about 5,000 miles. Coste, Petit Parisien says,:will endeavor to hop-off before Drouhin can get the Columbia ready Drouhin’s contract with Levine, un- der which he is to pilot the transatlan- tic plane Columbia back to America, runs for one year with compensation of -$150,000, the newspaper L’Auto says to- day. Expressed in French money, this amounts to 3,750,000 francs, which ap- pears to be rather a stupendous sum to the French public, L’Auto’s story has tended to stimulate, rather than quiet the controversy raging over the pro- posed flight, and the newspapers gener- ally criticize both Drouhin and Levine.

Commodore Herbert Hartley, of the Leviathan, who was offered the post by William Randolph Hearst, sponsor) of the projected flight, left the decision | to his wife, and she said “No.” Commodore Hartley received the offer by wireless aboard the Leviathan in| midocean. He cabled from Cherbourg, | France, saying the decision rested with his wife. The Leviathan commander, who has crossed the ocean 800 times and is an authority on Atlantic weather, will help | lay out courses for Bertaud to fly. The identity of the air mail naviga- | tor to accompany Bertaud has not been | revealed. His selection, it was an-| nounced, was decided after applications | of more than 200 birdmen had been | thoroughly gone over. | The plane is now under construction | at the Fokker factory in Hasbrouck | Heights, N.

Fund Authorizes Equipment Loans as Incentive to Development. New York, July 9 (A.P.).--Harry F. || “Guggenheim, president of the Daniel Guggenheim 'Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, announced today that ration of passenger air lines in the United States. The loans will be made only to exist- |ing operating companies for the pur- 'chase of modern, multi-engined planes /of maximum safety and comfort, so that an actual demonstration of per- formance and safety will be available as an incentive for further develop- ment of passenger air lines in the United States. Planes bought under the equipment loan provision must be designed to fly should one of the motors be disabled. The route or routes over which the new equipment will be flown must be approved for passenger carrying by the aeronautical division of the Departmen of Commerce. . Multi-engined passenger - carrying planes are expensive, the trustees of the Guggenheim Fund found, and lack of financial support has held back the development of this phase of aeronautics in the United States.

DEFENSE IS OUTLINED BY F. TRUBEE DAVISON Planes Must Fight Planes, He Says; Aircraft Guns Being Made More Proficient. (Associated Press.) While the air still is full of reports of projected airplane flights that even |a few years ago would have staggered the imagination, the two American offi- clals charged with administration of the Nation’s military air forces have had time, nevertheless, to contemplate the value of what has been done this summer, and draw at least some pre- liminary lessons from it. Assistant Secretary of the Navy War- ner foresees in a future war the over- ocean liners into airplane’ carriers which, under the protection of fast destroyers and light cruisers, would ac- company the battle fleet. F. Trubee Davison, Assistant Secre- tary of War in charge of Aeronautics, feels that the recent achievement of American airmen is a result of long years of development and that their ac- complishments can not be attributed just to luck. He also believes that the transatlantic and Hawaiian flights have caused “increased appreciation” by the American people on the progress in _ the Shamrock V, he said, aerial development and that “air mind- edness” in the general public “means support and public interest in air de- velopment.” Limited by Arms Treaty. Mr. Warner said that while aircraft carriers now were limited by the Wash- ington arms treaty, in event of war nations undoubtedly would convert merchant ships because, with a few changes, airplanes could be launched from them by catapults. He estimated that by this means the fleet would carry about 400 airplanes with it. The Navy now has 844 planes, 500 of which, Warner said, are regarded as fit for war purposes. Under the five- year building program authorized by Congress last winter this number will be increased to 1,000 first-class planes. Secretary Davison said he regarded the Hawalian flight of particular im- portance, as in time of war it would be “extremely desirable to obtain and maintain air communication with our insudar possessions.” He said, however, that these long-distance flights natu- rally prompted the question “What is being done from a military standpoint as defense against possible enemy air- craft?” He answered by saying that the Army had, and is, pushing develop- ment of anti-aircraft guns and gun- nery, but that in his opinion “the all- important defense against aircraft is our own aircraft.” Planes to Fight Planes, “In the last analysis planes must fight planes,” he declared. Secretary Warner said that while sev- eral methods of defense against aircraft and bombs had been developed by the Navy, after all, the best defense is air- ships themselves. Next are the antiair- craft guns, which he asserted have been made much more proficient since the war. For protection of the ships them- selves, he added, there has been a redis- tribution of armor with better deck pro- tection and changes in design, making smaller compartments into which water could flow after part of the hull had been cracked by bombs exploding along- side. South Pole Flight Held Commercial Aid (Associated Press.) C. F. Schory, secretary of the Na- tional Aeronautic Association, in ex- pressing belief yesterday that Com- mander Richard E. Byrd would be suc- cessful in his proposed South Pole air- plane venture, said that, in his opinion, such a flight would demonstrate con- clusively the ability of aircraft to carry passengers and a cargo to any point in the world. Schory said the South Pole flight would give added impetus to commer- cial air development which already has received a tremendous boost from the transoceanic hops. Maj. Young Named Aeronautics Director Maj. Clarence M. Young, of Des Moines, Iowa, was promoted yesterday to director of the aeronautics division of the Commerce Department. The post will make him first assistant to William P. MacCracken, Assistant Sec- retary of Commerce in charge of avia- tion matters. Young will have general supervision over the staff of the aeronautics branch. His first work with the aviation sec- tion was the organization and regis- tration of civilian flyers which was put into effect this year. MRS. DODGE, DRESSED IN MOURNING, SAILS Will Reach Hawaii for Funeral of Lieut. Williams, Flier; Denied Betrothal. San Pedro, Calif, July 9 (A.P.).—Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, divorced wife of a member of the Detroit automobile fam- ily, left for Honolulu today dressed in deep mourning after the steamship Ca- lawaili had delayed its departure for fifteen minutes to accommodate her booking. Notwithstanding .Mrs. Dodge’s vig- orous denial that she was engaged to Lieut. Charles S. Williams, naval avi- ator, who was killed when his plane plunged into the sea near Honolulu last Wednesday, Jack Hill, of Detroit, who acted as spokesman for the wealthy divorcee, said that the friend- ship between the couple probably would have materialized into an engagement announcement had the aviator lived. Hill denied reports that Mrs. Dodge was going to the islands to attend funeral services for Lieut. Williams, but admitted she would arrive there in time for the services should she de- sire to attend. Lipton Plans New Challenge.

TWO-ENGINED TYPE USED San Diego, Calif., July 9 (A.P.).— Twelve new seaplane records, six of which were wrested from Italy, were credited to the United States Navy to- day as the result of a record-breaking flight in charge of Lieut. Byron J. Con- nell, of the battle fleet aircraft squad- ron. Connell yesterday took to the air in a PN-10 seaplane, carrying a load of almost 4,500 pounds, remaining aloft 11 hours 7 minutes and 18 seconds, covering a distance of 947.58 miles. The total weight of the plane at the take-off was 21,000 pounds, 4,500 pounds of this representing a “pay load.” New marks established are as follows: Speed record for 1,000 kilometers, carrying a load of 2,000 kilograms, or 4,409 pounds, 86.91 miles an hour. Speed record for 1,500 kilometers, carrying a load of 2,000 kilograms, 86.91 miles an hour. Speed record for 1,000 kilometers, carrying a load of 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.5 pounds, 86.91 miles an hour. Speed record for 1,500 kilometers, carrying a load of 1,000 kilograms, 88.78 miles an hour. Ssped record for 1,000 kilometers, carrying a load of 500 kilograms, or 1,102.3 pounds, 88.78 miles an hour. Speed record for 1,500 kilometers, carrying a load of 500 kilograms, 88.78 miles an hour. The six records brought back from Italy are as follows: Duration carrying pay load of 500 kilograms, duration car- raying pay load of 1,000 kilograms, du- ration carrying pay load of 2,000 kilo- grams, distance with pay load of 500 kilograms, distance with pay load of 1,000 kilograms, distance with pay load of 2,000 kilograms. The last six records were held by Alessandro Passalvia, Italian pilot. Passaliva covered 590.3 miles, against 947.5 by Connell, and remained aloft 5 hours 41 minutes 7 seconds, against the mark of 11 hours, 7 minutes and 18 seconds made by Connell. The records established are for two- engined seaplanes and were made under the supervision of George H. Prudden, representing the National Aeronautic Association and the Federation Aero- nautique Internationale, the governing bodies of aviation. Maj.Dargue Completes U.S. Good-Will Flight Maj. Herbert A. Dargue, leader of the Pan-American flight of the Army arrived at Bolling Field last night from Langley Field, Va., completing his American good-will airplane tour with Walter O.

The tour started from Bolling Field May 23, in the plane New York of the Pan-American flight, and has covered approximately 10,000 miles over 33 States in the interest of aviation. Lone Aviator Signs For Flight to Brazil Brunswick, Ga., July 9 (A.P.).—A nonstop solo flight from Brunswick to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was underwrit- ten here today by a group of local busi- ness men. Paul H. Redfern, aviator, who signed a contract, plans to hop off about July 26. Redfern said he would use a Stinson monoplane fitted with a Wright whirl- wind motor capable of the same power as the motors used in the transatlantic and San Francisco-to-Honolulu flights. He will fly the craft here from Detroit where, he said, it was being built.

San Francisco, July 9 (A.P.).—John Drew, to whom Americans paid tribute as “the dean of actors,” died at a hos- pital here today, after a courageous 39-day fight against arthritis, rheu- matic fever and septic poisons. He was conscious through it all to within an hour of his death, and his passing was described as “painless, as in sleep.” Brief services were held in the se- ‘cluded little Cypress Lawn Crematory Chapel a few hours after Mr. Drew’s death because, it was explained, Mrs. Louis Devereaux, the actor’s daughter, was on the verge of collapse after her long vigil at the bedside of her father. The services were attended only by the three relatives who were with Mr. Drew when death came, Mrs. Devereaux, her husband, Jack Devereaux, and John Barrymore, of Hollywood, the actor’s nephew. Dr. Webster W. Jennings, of the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, of San Francisco, officiated. After the services the body was cre- mated. His Courage Amazing. “This is but another act, and I am playing my part,” Mr. Drew said dur- ing the early stages of his illness. It was this cheerfulness, this unwill- ingness to relinquish “his part” that amazed Dr. Lawrence H. Hoffman, one of the attending physiciens. “In my 30 years of practice I have never attended such a remarkable pa- tient,” the physician exclaimed. “The ordinary person would undoubtedly have succumbed to the first of series of relapses Mr. Drew suffered. His will power and vitality were phenominal. At no time did he complain, never did he lose his cheer and interest in things about him.” From the first the physicians held out little hope. The source of trouble, they explained, lay in affected teeth. Had these been extracted while the actor was in Vancouver, when he had X-rays taken of the teeth, his system probably would not have been poisoned. But Mr. Drew was playing the lead in “Trelawney of the Wells” and did not want to relinquish his part, so moved with the company, southward. At Port- land he was forced to cancel engage- ments, and O. P. Hegg . inglish mem- ber of the company,. took the role. Stage His Heritance. Coming from a family which, through three generations, holds what is prob- ably a record for continuous activity upon the stage, John Drew acted his way from an inconspicuous beginning to a position as one of the outstand- ing figures of the theatrical world, and was regarded by many as the leading exponent of polite comedy. Mr. Drew’s stage career was a heri- tage from his parents, both of whom were players of note. His father, also named John Drew, was an Irish come- dian of great ability. His mother, Louisa Lane Drew, was regarded as one of the most versatile actresses on the American stage. In addition to their famous son, the couple had a daughter, Georgie Drew, who had a successful stage career and who became the wife of Maurice Barry- more. Their children, Ethel, John and Lionel Barrymore, all became stars of the stage. When John Drew reached the age of 20 his mother, who had personally di- rected his preparation for a stage ca- reer, was manager of the Arch Street Theater, Philadelphia. For his debut, in 1873, he was cast as Plumper in the comedy “Cool as a Cucumber.” Then for two years he played in many small parts. It was not long after, however, that Mr. Drew’s strong histrionic instinct began to show in his work. Through- out his career of more than 50 years he was credited with having created more roles and impersonated more characters than any player of note on the American stage. Mr. Drew’s real climb to fame be- gan when he placed himself under the management of Augustin Daly and made his New York debut at the Fifth Avenue Theater as Bob Ruggles in “The Big Bonanza.” In that play Fanny Davenport, a famous stage beauty, was the leading lady. Two years later he joined Edwin Booth’s company and played a long succession of secondary roles in Shakespearean plays. He also appeared with Clara Morris in “Leah, the Forsaken.” Star Under Frohman. By this time Mr. Drew began to at- tract the serious attention of stage critics. During the season of 1878-79 Mr. Drew toured the country with his brother-in-law, Maurice Barrymore, in “Diplomacy,” and afterward returned to Daly’s Theater, remaining under Mr. Daly until 1892. With Ada Rehan as leading lady, he played in a number a ae JOHN DREW. Henry Miller Service.

THREAT OVER, IS VIEW Peking, July 9 (A.P.).—Japanese ma- rines to the number of 750 are pa- trolling Tsingtao, Shantung Province, replacing the soldiers who have been sent westward along the railway in readiness for emergencies. It is re- ported that a Japanese cruiser has left Shanghai for Tsingtao carrying 450 ad- ditional marines. The Japanese war- craft at Tsingtao at the present time are two cruisers and two gunboats. Tsingtao and Tsinan are quiet and there is no immediate threat of dis- order or occupation by the southern (Nationalist) forces. An official count on June 19 showed there were about 419 Americans in Tsingtao, the majority of them refu- gee missionaries from interior posts or summer sojourners. (Associated — Press.) Operations of the forces under Gen. Chen, which were threatening Tsingtao, have collapsed, the Navy Department was advised yesterday by Admiral Wili- ijams, commanding the United States Asiatic fleet. The dispatch said Gen. Chen’s forces had become disorganized and that the fate of the general himself was unde- termined. Admiral Williams said the forces of Marshall Sun and the White Russian First Brigade which were under com- mand of Gen. Chu Yu Pu, were suc- cessful “in suppressing the rebellion.” Regular passenger service on the rail- road from Tsingtao to Tsinan was re- sumed Friday. The admiral added that no American forces had been landed in Tsingtao. Recent reports from China have said Gen. Chen, a northern Chinese leader, had come over to the Chinese Na- tionalists. 55 Days of Fasting Fatal to a Woman Toronto, Ont., July 9 (A.P.).—Weak- ened by a fast of 55 days, which she had hoped would cure her indiges- tion, Mrs. Hope Leontough, who col- lapsed several days ago, died today. Mrs. Leontough, who had taken nothing but water for the 55 days, was given injections of glucose for the past few days. Physicians made vigorous ef- forts to save her life and she revived for a time, but suffered a relapse. of successes, including “Divorce,” “Love on Crutches,” “The Great Unknown,” “The Second in Command” and “Love's Labor Lost.” As a member of Daly companies he played engagements in London in 1884, 1886 and 1888. Mr. Drew’s first opportunity as a star came from Charles Frohman in “The Masked Ball” in 1892, his success in that play being shared by Maude Adams. He continued under Mr. Froh- man’s management until 1915. Some of the vehicles in which Mr. Drew achieved fame were. “Rosemary,” “A Marriage of Convenience,” “The Mummy and the Hummingbird,” “Jack Straw” and “A Single Man.” One of his favorite characters was Petruchio, in “The Taming of the Shrew.” Among the most notable of his latter-day suc- cesses were “Major Pendennis,” “The Gay Lord Quex” and “‘The Cat Bird.” John Drew was born at Philadelphia November 13, 1853. In 1880 he mar- ried Josephine Baker, an actress, of Philadelphia. She died in 1918. They had one daughter, Louise Drew, who gained distinction on the stage. Mr. Drew often was characterized as the best dressed man on the stage. nts [NOTED ACTOR DIES| GIRL'S LEGS FOUND IN BATTERY PARK; CRUDELY SEVERED Police Believe Other Parts of Body May Have Been Hurled Into Bay. CONTAINED IN BUNDLE NEAR A SUBWAY KIOSK Row of Figures on Outside Paper Is Only Clew for the Authorities. New York, July 9 (By A.P.).—The severed limbs of an apparently youn woman wrapped in an old tablecloth, towel and pair of common khaki pants were the only evidence to what the police said tonight was probably an ax murder of three or four days ago. Found near a subway kiosk in Bat- tery Park early today, the limbs, which had been cut and hacked, were care- fully examined at the morgue for any possible clews. Dragging of the bay near the Bat- tery wall also was ordered in an effort to locate the other parts of the body and so possibly identify the woman. Although the limbs were wrapped in cloth, the bundle when it was found contained an outer covering of heavy brown paper tied with strings. Deputy Inspector Carr of the Homicide Squad late today said this paper was found to contain a column of figures such as a grocer or a delicatessen proprietor might employ in summing up a list of purchases. The column included the figures 10, 49, 15, 39, 10, 10, 13, 25, 33 and a total, without an adding line, of 204. The inspector said it was hoped that the writer of the column of figures might report to the police, thus con- tributing some clew to the mystery. Called “Very Crude Job.” Medical Examiner Thomas A. Gon- zales gave it as his opinion that the amputation of the legs had been “a very crude job.” This bolstered the opinion of police that the find revealed & murder and was not a medical stu- dent’s prank. Dr. Gonzales said he believed the limbs were those of an adult woman, whose age could not be closely esti- mated. He said amputation was sub- sequent to death. The discovery was made by policemen who were routing early morning sleep- ers from the park lawn. The flash- lights of the bluecoats disclosed the package, and one of the policemen kicked it. The bundle, crudely tied with cord, burst open, disclosing a pair of khaki pants, in the legs of which were concealed the human limbs. The legs had been cut off below the knees. Sharp cuts wre found on the limbs. The police believe that the woman was between 20 and 25 years old. In each of the pockets of the trous- ers were found one finger of a suede glove, apparently cut off with scissors. American Swindled By Berlin Couple Berlin, July 9 (A.P.).—The police are looking for-a group of confidence men who are specializing in fleecing American tourists throughout central Europe with the old trick of inducing gullible individuals to assist them in collecting fake legacies. John R. Slevin, of New York, has asked the Berlin police to help locate two men who talked him out of $1,000. Slevin, police say, was invited to join the strangers in a trip to Rome, where one of them was to give the Pope $50,- 000 conditional on his cashing in a “huge fortune” in the United States. As a pledge of good faith, Slevin was asked to deposit $1,000, which he did. They agreed to meet him later and ar- range the details of the trip to Rome. Roumanian Liberals Elect 295 Deputies Bucharest, Roumania, July 9 (A.P). The government—Liberal—party won an overwhelming victory in Thursday’s parliamentary elections, getting about 295 seats, while the National Peasants party returned 70 candidates and the other parties an aggregate of 13. A few returns were still outstanding today, but they can not change the result. Opposition newspapers say that the triumph of premier Bratiano’s party was due to coercion and intimidation. This is denied by the government. Fine Days to Order, Is Lodge’s Prediction London, July 9 (A.P.).—Fine weather may be made to order, just like any commodity. is the prediction of Sir Oliver Lodge, noted British scientist. “The advance of science since the days when I was a student has been portentous,” he said. “Sooner or later we shall be exercising control over the weather.

" Showing the true American spirit— the spirit of the pioneer and home- builder, which enabled our forefathers to settle and develop our wonderful country, the Girl Scouts of the District have established a sanitary, orderly and pleasant camp amid the ruins of a once famous military outpost at Fort Foote, a. The high bluff on which the camp is located affords a commanding view of the Potomac, the same view which caus- ed Army officials to locate the fort GIRL SCOUTS CAMP IS BUSY SCENE AT OPENING a there during Civil War times as one of | the fortifications to protect the Capital of the Union from attack by water.

Some of the tents were erected earlier in the week by Boy Scouts from Camp Roosevelt, but additional tents are springing up as new arrivals appear, and it is not an unusual sight to see a number of girls | struggling with an unweildy tent pole| end tugging at stubborn canvas. | | | Food Carefully Prepared. The camp is under the direction of Q@fiss Barbara Bailey, who has come to Washington from Michigan especially to “oct the camp. Three cooks also have een engaged. A dietitian plans and oversees the cooking, and a trained nureé is in constant attendance. The study of flowers, birds, rocks and stars; instruction in wood- craft; hikes, sports and rowing, con- stitute some of the things at which the scouts Will pass their time. A pio- néeer camp, at which no improvements will be located, will be built a short distance from the main camp, and the girls will take turns living there to gain experience and knowledge of how’ to live with nature. At the campfire every evening a council will be held to discuss the events of the day, and suggestions of how to improve the camp will be held. The camp and the entire spirit dis- piayed there is traditional of the Girl Scout organization, with every scout co- operating and casting aside the thoughts of city life for a few weeks of real life in the open. It is as if in answer to the criticism aimed at the younger generation and in contradic- tion of the charges that the young girls of today will not do their share of work and can not enjoy herself without the tune of a jazz orchestra ringing in her ears. If there is a happier, healthier and more willing group of is anywhere, it must be in another irl Scout camp. trees.

AS HE BOOMS SOUTH DAKOTA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 singing “We Love You Cal; Your Gal,” but Eastern legislators were represented in that enthusiastic group of Dakota solons which came up to see Mr. Coolidge some time ago Senator McMaster has not said that the President: is not popular in the eastern section of the State, but his ac- he is. meet the farmers. who is said to be the boss of things political in South Dakota, is going to self from the President if he should want to, and the indications are that he will not want to. The senior sena- tor liked the McNary-Haugen bill very much, but he is wrapped up in this western section of the State financially. He is called the father of the State park, and the President has done a lot for the park. As concerns Senator Nor- beck being the boss, though, it is a fact that the legislature at the same time when it was in the mood to come and cheer the President was also in the mood to “break off” with the sena- tor on two occasions. He was refused permission to address it and again barely succeeded in getting a pet bill | through, just by one vote, in fact. | Presence Was Resented.- The explanation came out that the senator’s dominating presence at legislature was resented and that the action of the solons was simply a show of this resentment. having no politi- cal significance. The presence of the boss, however, is not usually resented openly, not while he is still boss. State of North Dakota is that the hot- bed of the Nonpartisan League is still decidedly cool toward Mr. Coolidge, but that it has been so subjugated that it is prepared to accept any Republican nominee. It has no fight left, and bountiful crops have served to take some of the sting out of the President’s veto of the McNary-Haugen bill. More ‘interest over there, in fact, is reported to center in the aspirations and plans of Gov. Sorlie. His aspira- tions are well Known and there is a | strong thought that he seeks to gratify ‘them next year at the expense of Sen- |ator Frazier. His candidacy will cause .& furore, it is admitted, and he would, it is said, have an uphill fight. | But the prognosticators see next year as his only chance. If he is not a ‘candidate then he must wait four years and then he is so tied up with Senator | Nye that he could hardly run against him. So he would really have to wait six years to go after Senator Frazier's scalp. ‘That would be too long. A way /@ut of the dilemma, it is pointed out, | would be for Sorlie to go to the House for six years as a means of keeping before the public.

Dak., where Prudence Prim was taken when she fell ill a few weeks ago with distemper, have given up all hope for her and have notified the President and Mrs. Coolidge to fear the worst.

Mr. McVey Second to Be Ousted in Elkton Investigation. Elkton, Md., July 9 (A.P.).—However wonderful lovers may find this little town, Maryland’s most thriving Gretna Green, it does seem to be coming a uncomfortable place for those who tie the knots that make individuals “the happiest men and girls in the world.” For the second time within a fort- night a “marrying parson” has found an unkindly spotlight directed upon him. The Rev, Hiram McVey, after holding the title for almost exactly two weeks, yesterday was suspended as a Methodist Episcopal minister, after an investigation into his conduct by a committee of clergymen. This committee composed of seven Mao ay clergymen appointed by Dr, J. W. Colona, district superintend- ent of the Wilmington conference found Mr. McVey guilty of “ministerial misconduct and defiance of constituted authority of the Methodist Episcopal Church,” it recommended that “the marrying parson” be tried before the church board at the next quarterly conference which is to be held in Kent County, Delaware, at the call of Super- intendent Gunby, of the Dover district.

Serve You (Special Cable Dispatch.) Paris, July 9—Among the latest con- tingent of Frenchmen called to serve their quota of eighteen months mill- tary service was Pierre Drouaire. Pierre was young enough to be included in the call for service, but in some ways he was much older—principally as far as his family was concerned. So when Pierre Drouaire reported to the colonel at Clignancourt headquarters he was | accompanied by his aged mother, his wife and five children. | “These seven people can not live ex- | cept by what I earn,” said Plerre, re- | epectfully. “Since the army takes all | responsibility for my work during the next eighteen months, I have brought | my family along.”’ : wa Some Extreme Price me for three dayy—MONDAY—TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY 2 SRS ANY OTUs se ae eee Shbbnbehe ehhh thet hee . 7 Special!

Accordingly, he assigned Pierre to a company and found a house in the camp for Pierre’s rather impos- ing family. Just how Pierre could sup- port seven people on less than a franc a day the colonel didn’t know any more than Pierre did. Therefore the colonel >, * * *,¢ %,* * * + *,¢ > effect of the »w all-pur- >, »+ v,@ o,¢ © 8 > «+ +70 made a report to Gen. Girod, while Pierre drilled, hiked, passed as much time as possible with his mother, wife and five youngsters—and tried to figure | out how one franc a day could be split | among seven people. Meanwhile the military authorities | examined orders and precedents and decrees in the attempt to get rid of this soldier with a family. But they could find no precedent. Never had a man reported for duty with a family of even three before, let alone seven. Premier Orders Release. Gen. Girod at last appealed to Prem- ler Poincare and the premier gave serious study to the unusual case of Pierre Drouaire. Finally he ordered that Pierre be given an honorable dis- charge that he might support his family—which he certainly couldn’t do on a French soldier’s wages. Plerre is back at his old job, turning over his pay to Mme. Drouaite, who is an ex- pert in making 200 or 300 francs weekly clothe and feed eight people. Pierre, however, doesn’t want this misunderstood. If the government needs him he’s ready to go again, Only he would like some arrangements made so that the other seven won't have to go along to camp with him, too.

~ TARNISH ON SILVER CAN BE PREVENTED, CHEMISTS ADVISED New Developments in Use of Protective Coverings Told at Institute Meeting. RUST COSTS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY Dr. Blum Presents Paper on Corrosion; Beyond Hope to Stop All Losses. State College, Pa., July 9 (A.P.).— The tarnish that appears on silverware can be prevented in many cases by treatment in process of manufacture, if certain developments in protective coatings, now applied to other metals, are used properly, in the opinion of R. M. Burns, of the American Bell Tele- phone laboratory. He addressed the in- stitute of chemistry of the Amefican Chemical Society here today. “Treatment of copper articles ef- fectively prevents tarnish,” said Mr, Burns, “and similar treatment applied to silverware should be equally effective. A film of oxide of copper so thin as to be invisible, and which prevents cor- rosion, can readily be produced in the | manufacture of copper.” Mr. Burns said that the control of | corrosion of underground cables is one of the most serious problems facing the telephone industry. Hundreds of miles of underground cables connecting large cities by telephone are rendered use- less annually by the corrosion of the lead sheets covering them. Dr. Blum Presents Paper. Progress in methtdds of application and use of metals as coatings for iron and steel is greatly reducing the annual loss to the Nation caused by rust, de- clared Dr. William Blum, of the Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C., in his paper on the “Control of Corrosion.” “Rust is wasting American wealth at the rate of hundreds of millions of dollars annually,” he said. “Proper metallic coatings can prevent this waste largely, but it is beyond present hope to prevent all corrosion losses or to control all conditions, which cor- rode metals. Atmospheric exposure of | metals is of course the most important | of these. Fresh water, sea water, soil | and stray currents in the ground caused by power lines are other factors that result in excessive corrosion.” Cadmium is one of the most desirable metals for coating when the base is | subjected to marine exposure, said Dr. Blum, when appearance is not of prime consideration. Nickel and chromium platings are the best for protecting ex- posed steel where appearance is essen- ie as in the manufacture of automo- lles, Using Latent Power’in Coal. The problem of utilizing much more | fully the latent power in coal came be- the institute last night for the | ae time when Dr. Eric K. Rideal, lec- turer in physical chemistry at Cam- bridge University, England, discussed the manner in which the State should work with industry and science to solve guch situations. The reason no satisfactory solution has been found for the coal problem is due to the lack of cooperation be- tween the university, the industry and the State, he said. “The coal liquefaction process as well as the synthetic products of water gas demand increasing attention,” the speaker said, “not only by the State but by the various industries utilizing liquid fuels or interested in the pro- duction of paint, varnish and fine chemicals. The real impetus to work of this character must come from the State, as no single industry is able or willing to assume _ responsibility for it.” Dr. Rideal said that “trustification”’ of industry undoubtedly facilitates the supply of funds for important re- search. “The very recent chemical merger in England between English and German chemical firms has already effected the growth rate of very large research organizations supported by the firms involved,” he asserted. Bass Fishing Is Good On Shenandoah River Special to The Washington Post, Winchester, Va. July 9. — Large strings of black bass, many weighing two to five pounds, have been brought to town during the last few davsa from points along the Shenandoah River, but the largest number was caught in the vicinity of Riverton, where the Beck brothers, of Winchester, own a bungalow. Paul Beck caught and ge Clayton Cochran weighing forty-two pounds. following day Albert eck and “y Mr. Myets, of Baltimore, took out thirteen, and the next day Charles Beck and Dr. Wine, of Harri- sonburg, Va., caught fifteen. Paul Beck and John Dillis returned last evening with thirteen. Campaign for $35,000 Started by College Fredericksburg, Va., July 9 (A.P.).— The Fredericksburg State Teachers Col- lege has just launched its campaign in Fredericksburg and its environs to procure $35,000 for construction of the first unit of the Student Service Build- ing. The college has already about $9,000 on hand, and with the money to be obtained the first unit of the building will be constructed, beginning this month. This unit will contain a swimming pool with chlorination and filtration. There are also to be student activity rooms. W. J. Harahan’s Son THE WASHINGTON POST: [AT THE CHESS TABLE] By WILLARD H. MUTCHLER. The summer of 1897 was a mo- mentous One in the History of local and international shess. On May 31 of that year a cable match was staged which was international in its charac- ter in more respects than one, Shortly following the conclusion of the event above referred to there appeared .on the American chess horizon the first number of the American Chess Maga- zine, a publication excelled by none and equaled by but few of the many chess periodicals of all time, The in- teresting description given below ap- peared under the inscription— The Match of the Parliaments. “No recent event in amateur chess dom will have awakened a livelier in- terest or provoked a more friendly spirit of emulation in English-speaking chess circles than the contest of last Tuesday between two quintets of Brit- ish and American legislators. “Tt is not the purpose of this article to deal with the result or to descant on the merits or démerits of the en- gagement, but rather to dwell on the significance of the event itself and its immediate influence on chess. “Human conditions are in them- selves too ephemeral tO admit of per- durable impressions, and all influences, whether for good or evil, need to be renewed as often, to be permanent, as the memory of mortal needs jogging: Hence, we hope that by the timely recurrence of such contests as the one affording us the present theme the ele- vating and stimulating effects which they impart to chess may be constantly renewed. “For nothing ean contribute more | wholesomely to the greater appreciation | of the game by the initiated, as nothing can tend more effectively to its wider | dissemination, than those friendly | trials of skill between men of promi- | nence or celerity. “The amateur is stirred by the ex- | ample to fresh endeavors, while he who |‘ has yet to make his first native offering at Caissa’s shrine would fain know what all the excitement is about. “These honorable encounters, in which victory is the only prize, tend to the moral elevation of chess, while reflecting credit, by the standing of the participants, on the intellectual attri- butes of the game. Like the romantic tournaments of old, which kept the spirit of chivalry alive through the |, middle ages and gave to history some |; of its fairest epics, so will these mod-| | ern tourneys perpetuate the virtues of | \( our noble game and worthily stimulate | the ambition of its adepts. } } “The first international cable chess match between members of the United | States House of Representatives and the | British House of Commons opened in| Teams Divide Honors. 1 t ( i a blaze of glory and ended most satis- | factorily for all concerned, both teams coming out with flying colors and honors divided. The American players | especially must be commended for their | gallant fight, as they had less experi- | | | | ¢ /ence than their opponents and were | | Jacking the opportunities afforded to | chess players by the English Parlia- || ‘ment. Chess is a regular amusemaht | ' among the members there, one of the } committee rooms being used as a chess | ; room. Tournaments have been played | among the members, and matches have been played with outside organizations. With these as guides, the selection of the best players has not been attended with much difficulty. The British team was named several weeks ago, and really represents the best talent of the as well as in individual games. contest is due to the chess enthusiasts of the British Parliament, led by J. the victory of the British Chess Club Brooklyn Chess Club, the chess players of the House of Commons wrote to Speaker Reed, of the House of Rep- resentatives, asking in an informal way if the chess players of Congress would not like to play a friendly game, or series of games, with the British players, and ‘requesting him to bring the matter to the notice of the mem- bei; who were interested in the game. The letter was received by Mr. Reed in March. He referred the matter to Representative Richmond Pearson, of North Carolina, and R. C. Shannon, of New York, the leading players of the House, who called a meeting of those known to be players. At this meeting a committee was appointed with power to accept a challange for @ match and arrange the details. The committee consisted of Richmond Pear- son, of North Carolina, chairman; Gen. Joe Wheeler, of Alabama; Gen. David B. Henderson, of Iowa; Judge De- Armond, of Mississippi; Richard C. Shannon, of New York; Robert G. Cou- sins, of Iowa, and Claude Swanson, of Virginia. “The first plan suggested by the British committee was that five games be played, one man to be in charge of each game on each side, and each player having two assistants, making it in reality a consultation match, This was discussed by the frepresentatives, but was not approved, and the simpler form of five representatives against the same number of members of parlia- ment, as in the previous matches by cable between the two countries, was adopted. Team Formed Slowly. “The committee in charge of the Congressional end of the match had a very difficult task in forming the team. Of the 60 chess players in the House of Representatives about 18 came forward to enter the preliminary tournament. The team was not fully decided upon until May 28, when Rep- resentative Plowman was finally ac- cepted. “The rules of the Brooklyn-British Chess Club cable matches were adopted in extenso, the only modification be- ing those necesgitated by the smaller in the surroundings. The change was in the time limit, teen moves an hour. care to give so much time to study. “Mr. Ladislaus Hengelmuller Hengervar, and Minister Plenipotentiary Austria-Hungary at Washington, chosen referee.

ied INFANTRY CADETS UF GEORGETOWN U DO WELL AT CAMP) Competitive Showing at: Meade Training Quarters Pleases Dannemiller. LARGER BATTALION IS SEEN NEXT FALL Expectation Is Faculty Trans- fers Will Be Announced by August 1. | Georgetown University students who have been attending the R. O. T. C. camps at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., and Camp Meade, Md., since June 11 are ap- proaching the end of their month’s training period. Lieut. Col. Augustus F. Dannemiller, U. S. A., commander of the Georgetown unit, has been in attendance at Camp Meade since the opening of the summer training camp and is highly pleased with the competitive showing of the Georgetown Infantry Cadets. Capt. Stewart D. Hervey, one of his assistants, also has been detailed at Camp Meade, The Georgetown group at Carlisle Barracks comprises about 40 students from the school of medfcine who will qualify as first lieutenants in the Army Medical Reserve Corps at the end of their next academic year. The infantry contingent from the college numbers 28 junior cadets and two seniors. These will form the nueclus of the cadet offi- | cers in next year’s infantry battalion at the Hilltop. Reassigned Another Year. Since its designation as a “distin- | guished” unit interest in the R. O. T. C, has increased greatly among George | town students, and Col. Dannemiller is looking forward to an unusually large battalion next fall. Capt. Hervey and Capt. William B. Lowrey, who com- pleted their four-year detail at George- town last month, have been reassigned to Georgetown for another year. This will keep the training staff in- | tact, for Col. Dannemiller has two more years to serve before being transferred to other duties. The two Georgetown seniors at Camp Meade, James Slavin and John O’Brieh, who did not have an opportunity to attend the camp last year, will receive commissions as second lieutenants in the reserves when they complete their training this week. William S. Tarver, Washington stu- dent at the college, who was lieutenant colonel in command of the infantry battalion, has given up thought of a military career to engage in newspaper work. During his four years at George- town he made an outstanding record, not only in the R. O. T. C., but also in his studies, having been one of the honor men in the June graduating class. He was awarded the prize for being the cadet who did more than any other member of the infantry unit to advance the interests of the R.. O. T. C. during his four years at George- town. Tarver expects to enter the law school this fall. Next Commander Discussed. In view of the unusual interest be- ing taken in, R. O. T. C. affairs at the Hilltop, the selection of the cadet commander of the corps is subject to much speculation. The race, it ap- pears, has narrowed down to John T. McKeen and J. P. Cummiskey, jr., both of Detroit, Mich., and William C. O'Neill, of Brooklyn, N. Y. They were conceded to be among the best trained of the cadet officers during the last year. McKeen already has a reserve commission as second lieutenant in the Army, having previously attended the regular training camp. The Rev. Charles W. Lyons, president of Georgetown University, who returned here last week from an educational conference in New York, will remain in Washington, it was expected, until Au- gust 1. By that time the list of fac- ulty transfers probably will be received. The Rev. Francis A. Tondorf, director of the seismic observatory, is taking his retreat at the Georgetown Prepara- tory School at Garrett Park, Md. Dr. Banda Consul General. Announcement was . made at the Ecuadorian Legation last week that Dr. Francisco Banda, who received his Ph. D. in foreign service at George- town in June, 1926, has been An Consul General of Ecuador at New Or- leans. Dr. Banda left Washington last Thursday for his new post. Formerly an attache at the legation, Dr. Banda went to Ecuador last Octo- ber as assistant to the Kammerer finan- cial commission, composed principaily of Americans, who reorganized the finances of that country and stabilized its currency. As a recognition of his good work, the Chamber of Commerce at Quito appointed him as its delegate to the third Pan-American Commercial Congress, which met in Washington last May. Dr. Banda presented a report at the congress on the work of the financial commission. While at Georgetown in 1923, Dr. Banda obtained the granting of a scholarship for each one of the Latin American republics, and as a result there are a number of students from those countries registered with the school.

Rock Hill, 8. ©. (A.P.).—William Garney Burgin, professor of physiology at Winthrop College, State school for girls, has been offered the services of the American Civil Liberties Union in a fight for reinstatement. Prof. Burgin was dropped from the faculty by a vote of four to three ac- companied by a statement that he had been teaching matters the board thought should not be taught. It is reported that he was accused pf teach- ing evolution and that he criticized conditions in South Carolina cotton mills when he addressed the South Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs. AIGH PRINCE REFUSES TO PAY HIGHER RENTAL Ruler of Monaco Says He Can Not Afford Big Sum at Channel Resort. LOSES FAVORITE VILLA Paris, July 9.—The Prince of Monaco, heir of the Grimalidis, and recipient of the rich royalty paid by the great gam- ing casino of Monte Carlo, is commonly supposed to be rich beyond all conceiv- able meed of economy. Yet it appears that there is a limit to expenditures beyond which he will not pass. For years he has been in the habit of spending a certain season at a French resort of great exclusiveness on the channel coast, especially patronized by wealthy English families. The Prince of Monaco has for a num- | ber of years rented one of the villas there, and had until this year assumed | | | that his occupancy of it would be pe- | rennial. He had not forecast the effect | of plutocratic English patronage upop | the rentals. This year, bowever, when he sought to renew his lease the land- lord asked for s0 great an increase in’ the rental that he was constrained to decline it. “I can not afford to pay so | much,” he said frankly, “wherefore you will not see me there this season,” The other residents of the place are | therefore wondering what rich ship- | owner or manufacturer will replace the sovereign who represents the oldest | reigning dynasty in Europe. QHIOAN DISTRESSED BY TREE DESTRUCTION | Ohio Representative Deplores Preservation Neglect by Business Interests. “Persistent and wanton” destruction of trees in Washington is deprecated by Representative Martin L. Davey, of Ohio, a tree expert, in a letter to Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. He declares that “it ils amazing that the commercial in- terests of Washington have so little re- gard for the preservation of the beauty that has made Washington what it is.” “It has distressed me very much,” continues the representative, “to see the persistent and wanton destruction of trees in Washington. I have been equally disturbed by the obvious neg- lect of the street and park trees. Very little, if anything, seems to_be done for them, and a very large per cent of them are going from bad to worse. “The thing which has made Washing- ton highly attractive has been its wealth of fine trees. We are indebted to the foresight of men who lived 50 or 75 years ago for these trees. But we must blame our own generation for the terrible and inexcusable neglect from which many of them are suffering.” HIBERNIANS EXPECT 3,000 ON EXCURSION. All Irish Organizations In- | vited to Outing at Chesa- peake Beach. All Irish organizations within the District have been extended an invita- tion to attend the annual excursion of the Ancient Order of Hibernians -and ladies’ auxiliary ‘at Chesapeake Beach Saturday.

‘feu ALIGNING FUROPE IN A UNION AGAINST MOSCON Restriction of Credits for Soviets Is Already Be- ; coming Visible. -_ woes a EDISCOUNTS REFUSED BY BANKS IN LONDON glo-German Negotiations for International Trusts Are Going On. By JOHN STEELE. (Special Cable Dispatch.) London, July 9.—Sir Austen Cham- rlain, the British foreign secretary, ig§ reply to a question put to him in the use of Commons this week, made the rmal statement that he had not at neva proposed to the other powers e formation of an anti-Soviet bloc in lurope. This technically was tryé t I am in a position to tell exactly What happened and what the present ropean vis-a-vis with Russia is. ¥#At the Geneva meeting of the league uncil two sessions of the Locarno wers were held at which the Rus- n question was discussed. Sir Aus- hn led the discussion by telling his lleagues that had no plan for }crusade against Moscow, but in view the Russo-British break Great Brit- @n expected its colleagues in Europe @® tell exactly where they stood. * Dr. Gustav Stresemann, the German Moreign Minister, expressed the utmost disgust and disappointment with the Soviet methods, whereupon Sir Austen Suggested holding a special conference Geneva in Septembcr to discuss ussian relations and the peril of Soviet propaganda. Dr. Stresemann vetoed this as impractical, but sug- gested a joint declaration to Moscow against revolutionary activities. Pian Falls Through. Here M. Vandervelde, the Belgian Socialist Leader and Foreign Minister, tervened, insisting it was necessary distinguish between the Soviet gov- ernment and the Third Internationale, but all the other statesmen present re- fused to recognize this distinction and the plan for the joint note fell through. at was agreed, however, that all the gtates having representatives at Moscow @hould make individual declarations, a@nd it is known that Germany already Bas carried out this agreement. ' The situation now is that Great Brit- ain, while not planning any war with Russia, is certainly working for a union of Europe in a “blockade” on Russia, from which any state siding with the Soviets would be ostracised. The prac- “tical result of this is the restriction of .credits, without which the Soviet gov- ernment cannot exist. Already the German banks which tried to redis- -count Soviet bills in the London mar- ket have been turned down, and the ®ame fate has befallen Austrian bank- “ers who offered Russian paper. | Meanwhile, on the commercial side, “Secret conversations are going on be- ‘tween British and German industrial- ‘ists, -looking toward the formation of international trusts. One of the prin- €ipal British conditions of these nego- tiations is the German withdrawal rom all commercial connection with ‘Russia. a. h e Germans Try to Bargain. oe ~ The Germans, feeling that Moscow “mow is weaker than it has been for “peveral years, are trying to make the “best bargain with Great Britain while rat still has something in Russia left to bargain with. ". Its present asking price is the aboli- tion of all restrictions imposed in the "Versailles treaty, the evacuation of the Rhineland and return of the Polish corridor. The British, however, feel that if they wait a little longer they Will be able to make a better bargain, @s they are informed that the situation ein Moscow is worse than since the wolish war of 1922. * On the other hand, Sir Austen has Bone a long way to conciliate the Ger- Mans, telling Dr. Stresemann openly ‘that he fully recognized the German Miinsiter’s right to raise the question pf the change in the status of the Rhineland and already has told the gene so, at the same time advising -~r. Stresemann to wait patiently for @ favorable opportunity. (Copyright, 1927, by the Chicago Tribune.)

Chicago, July 9-—Orville Hammill had an ambition to be rated the most efficient efficiency expert in all the world, but just now he is looking for a job. Loaded with all sorts of ideas about efficiency, he obtained employment with the Baird Stocking & Knitting Works Mills. Right off the bat he ordered the’ book*eepers to use “FWD” instead of wasting the company’s time and ink in using “forward” on the books. He raised the price of doughnuts one cent in the cloak room and he became as popular as a barrel of rattlesnakes around the plant. All over the place he posted peppy slogans, among them: “Let’s have a big run in socks to- day.” “The more clocks, the less thread.” “Don’t let down on your’ heels—keep on your toes.” “Safety, if any—first.” Orville was walking around the plant admiring the slogans he had created, and was angered to noticé that an important gentleman had left his desk and was looking over the lot. “Here, you!” said Orville, “this is a workshop. Haven’t you anything to do?” “Well, yes, now that you mention it, I have,” said the idler. “Then get at it—and give me your name—I’m going to turn you in for reading the slogans on company time.” “You won’t need my name,” said the idle one, “but I'll give it to you anyway. I’m Phineas Baird, president of this company, and I’m going into my office now and fire an efficiency expert.” Which explains why Orville is look- ing for a new job. 300 MEN SHANGHAIED ON SHIP, SAY CHINESE Carried Off to New Hebrides Work in Mines, Is sland Charge. ig] Cable Dispatch.) ly 9—A remarkable story is told from Townsville, Queensland of the shanghailing of 300 Chinese aboard a steamer for New Hebrides to work in the silver mines. It is alleged that the Chinese were drugged, taken aboard the vessels and guarded by armed guards. It is stated that the Chinese were herded into the lower holds, over which iron spikes were placed. It is alleged that some coolies managed to get a note ashore to their countrymen of Townsville. The Chinese of north Queensland ap- proached the Queensland premier to take up the matter with the federal authorities. It is stated some of the coolies died and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Federal authorities instructed the customs officials to hold an inquiry. It is stated the French authorities dis- believe the story, stating that all the coolies are in possession of French pass- ports.

Chicago, July 9 (A.P.).—Samuel In- sull and several other electric company executives are charged with fraud in a transaction involving the Illinois Light & Power Co. in a bill of com- plaint filed in superior court here to- day. The complaint was filed by Millard B. Powers and William F. Powers. Defendants other than Mr. Insull are Arthur N. Powers, Britton I. Budd, acting president of the Illinois Light & Power Co.; Charles C. Berger, acting secretary of the same company; the Illinosi Light and Power Co. and the Public Service Co. of Northern Illinois. The charge grew out of the organiza- tion of the Illinois Light & Power Co. which the complainants claim was established as the result of a plan for a hydroelectric plant on the Kankakee River near Ritchie, Dl. The plaintiffs say they, with Arthur Powers, origi- nated the company. Mr. Insull obtained two liens against the property by virtue of loans and the purchase of one held by the divorced wife of Arthur Powers. The organizers decided to settle the liens, their peti- tion reads, and entrusted the settle- ment to Arthur Powers. They now claim the terms of the settlement as reported to them by Powers were not the conditions arranged between him and Insull. Los Gatos Promoter In Jacksonville Jail Jacksonville, Fla., July 9 (A. P.).—dJ. F. Brandies, charged with using the | mails to defraud in connection with | promotion of Los Gatos, a real estate | development here, was in the county | jail tonight in default of $5,000 bond. | Brandies was arrested in California, | but was brought here from Santa Fe, N. Mex., where he had been in a hos- pital for treatment of injuries re- ceived in an automobile accident. Federal authorities allege that Brand- dies “fleeted”’ Jacksonville investors and others of thousands of dollars in con- nection with his real estate activity at Los Gatos.

CHARGES AGAINST COOLIDGE VOTED ON BY DRY LEAGUE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. transmitting a copy of the Pinchot speech as containing “certain state- ments of such serious nature * * * as to justify us calling the matter to your attention.” While the conference did not at- attempt to pass upon those statements, the letter said, “there is a widespread feeling throughowt the country that the Treasury Department and other depart- ments having in charge enforcement of the prohibition law are not doing their duty. Signed by Four. “Our people will not consent to the proposition that a great republic can not enforce it8 laws. * * * Inasmuch as the chief responsibility in these mat- ters rests with the Pre; dent, we are respectfully bringing them to your at- tention.” This letter was signed by A. J. Bar- ton, chairman of the executive com- mittee; Ernest H. Cherringto:, secre- tary; F. Scott McBride, general superin- tendent of the league, and its presi- dent, Bishop Nicholson. One month after the resolution vote, December 8, the American says, Dr. A. J. Barton, chairman of the executive committee,/ addressed a “personal and confidential” letter to Prohibition Com- missioner Roy A. Haynes, suggesting that the President and “his closest and most influential advisers” be warned of the danger of a successful candidacy by Gov. Smith of New York. “If Al Smith should succeed in get- ting the Democratic nomination in the present confused situation,” the letter is alleged to have stated, “he will de- feat Coolidge or any other man the Republicans may name.” Impounded by Reed. The resolution to issue a proclama- tion charging President Coolidge with misfeasance was one of the papers im- pounded by the Reed senatorial investi- gating committee, Orville S. Poland, counsel for the New York State Anti- saloon League, stated tonight. Poland, when informed of the publication of the resolution, said that he knew of the existence of such a paper, and sup- posed that some member of the Reed committee had given it out for publica- tion. Although he was not at the Chicago meeting, Mr. Poland said, he was of the opinion that two or three speeches were made outlining conditions with respect to prohibition enforcement. The reso- lution in question was then drawn up, but tabled with the understanding that jt was to be taken up at the next meet- ing of the committee. Arthur J. Davis, superintendent of the New York State branch of the league, who was reported to have voted in favor of adopting the resolution, could not be reached tonight, Denunciation Is Denied. Boston, July 9 (A.P.).—William M. Forgrave, superintendent of the Massa- chusetts Antisaloon League, tonight said that at a meeting of the executive ‘committee of the Antisaloon League held dn Chicago.tp November, 1925, he § ported a resolution in which the execu- tive branch of the Federal Government was charged with misfeasance for fail- ure to enforce the prohibition laws. Mr. Forgrave denied, however, that there was any denunciation of President Coolidge intended in the resolution, which eventually was voted down, 5 to 4. “The word ‘indictment’ was used in the resolution,” he said, “but it was in no sense denunciation of the Presi- dent. The text stated that the facts as reported to the meeting ‘constituted an indictment of the Federal Govern- ment in respect to prohibition enforce- men.’ “It was the feeling that the President of the United States as executive head was the only person whom the people could hold responsible. He is elected by the people. He has the power of appointment, from Cabinet members down. “The resolution had to do with cer- tain charges which had been laid be- fore the committee at that time and which later proved to be actual facts. There was no unfriendly atmosphere. There was almost a riot at the conven- tion over some of the appointments that had been made on the enforce- ment staff. The resolution was the out- come of that feeling. “The explanation of the resolution is that it was the logical result of things that happened at the.convention. The Situation has changed considerably since then, and for the better.’’ Not Serious, Says Bishop. Detroit, Mich., July 9 (A.P.).—Com- menting upon a copyrighted article in the New York American, which says that the executive committee of the Antisaloon League in 1925 considered a resolution charging President Cool- idge with misfeasance and malfeasance in office, Bishop Thomas Nicholson, president of the league at that time, tonight said he remembered only one paragraph in a resolution, which criti- cized the President “‘because he was not sufficiently. active in the work.” He classed the incident as “nothing serious” and said the resolution was de- feated after debate. He added that he did not remember the vote on the proposition or by whom it was offered. Denied by Laughbaum. Oklahoma City, July 9.(A.P.).—H. T. Laughbaum, director of the Oklahoma Antisaloon League, tonight denied that the executive committee of the national organization had voted upon a resolution. in Chicago November 8, 1925, charging President Coolidge with misfeasance and malfeasance in office. “I remember the discussion which was conducted in general terms on the subject of prohibition enforcement,” said Laughbaum. “We believe as we always have, that the President should appoint enforcement officers who are in favor of the law and will try to enforce it. “We believe, also, that any President as the chief executive officer of the United States, should build up the best law enforcement organizafion he can.” Laughbaum said that, sp far as he knew, no resolution had peen drawn ony ae Yam @. - ia > +. ve « a, : a 4 : ey ‘ e A" a x - *. 90 BIG VOLCANOES I ISLANDS OFF ALASKA Explorer Reports That Two of the Craters Are in Active — Eruption. VISITS UNCHARTED AREA Dutch Harbor, Alaska, July 9 (A.P.). With a report of having seen twenty large volcanoes, Dr. T. A. Jaggar, vol- canologist from Hawaii, in charge of volcano investigations for the United States Meteorological Survey, has re- turned here from a cruise in the west- ern Aleutian Islands to Atka, on the Coast Guard cutter Unalga. Both the Bogosloff and Gareloi volcanoes are active, Dr. Jaggar said. With Commander Perkens of the Unalga, Dr. Jaggar landed on Bogo- sloff Island, where he found a new steaming inner cone of hot, rough lava in the volcano, surrounded by a ring- shaped lagoon of warm salt water. Out- side of this was a complete ring of gravel with beaches inside and outside and no open channel anywhere be- tween the two older rock peaks, which lie at the two ends of Bogosloff Island. Dr. Jaggar is of the opinion that a new spell of intense activity has start- ed on Bogosloff. The volcano had ap- parently erupted in December, 1926. The surrounding ground is pitted with recently fallen stones, covered with big pumice blocks, gravel, sand and ash. : ‘ “7? ; : . : e re é J — a ‘ 4 > : ’ - - s& - . ¢ . . a § ee ee ee ficiency Expert Learns pe » . oN r » : ae ae . . ha 4 .

Mrs. Elia W. Sloane, the landlady claimed $10,000 when her boarder John Armstrong, died last April. Armstrong accumulated the $65,000 by begging. He also begged Mrs. Sloane, she related, to take care of him in his last years, promising her he would leave her $10,000 when he died. : Referee Jeremiah Connor recently awarded Mrs. Sloane the $10,000. To- day Surrogate John P. O’Brien con- firmed the referee’s report. Fifteen nephews and nieces in England will eet the rest of the estate. y, A herd of almost 400 sea lions was found living on the beaches close to the active lava dome and millions of sea birds were nesting in the cliffs and sandbanks. There was sulphurous steam, but no noxious gas. The western Aleutian region is im- pressive in the extent of unexplored coast line. There are 600 miles of Pa- cific shore virtually unknown and 160 uncharted harbors. A project has been started under the volcano section of the National Re- search Association to establish collabo- ration among the scientific bureaus of the Government for mapping, charting and exploring this great wild-life res- ervation. |NEWS OF THE SUBURBS| BLADENSBURG.

PRINCIPAL FOUND GUILTY "INFLOGING OF WOMAN W. B. Acree and 4 Others in Georgia Now Face Trial in Second Whipping. SENTENCE NOT PASSED Toccoa, Ga., July 9 (A.P.).—With one conviction in connection with the al- leged flogging of Mrs. Ansley Bowers, that of W. G. Acree, school master, the State made ready today to bring Acree and four other men to trial in another case growing out of what is believed to have been a series of floggings in the county. Acree, principal in the Stephens County High School, at Estonolle, and leader in church affairs of this sec- tion, was tried on a charge of assault with intent to kill Mrs. Bowers, and was the first of five indicted in that case to stand trial. Whether the others would be tried at this term of court remained problematical on account of the crowded docket, but Solicitor Gen- eral McMillan announced that he prob- ably would call Acree and the four others next Tuesday on the charge of flogging Bartow Singleton, farmer. Sentence was not passed on Acree. He faces other charges of burglary, riot, assault with intent to murder and carrying a pistol, in connection with the whipping of Mrs. Bowers and her son, Lloyd. Judge I. H. Sutton said he did not think it proper to pass sen- tence pending disposition of the other charges. ; Mrs. Bowers and her son testified they recognized Acree as a member of the masked and robed band which took them from home into the country, where the flogging was administered. Mrs. Bowers asserted that he was the man who held her head between his knees when she was beaten. The rea- son for the flogging, she said, was re- cited to her as “immorality and failure to go to church.” Woman, Bound to Barrel, Whipped by Masked Band Florence, Ala., July 9 (A.P.).—While her husband and sister were forcibly held in their farm home near here, Mrs. Bertha A. Slay, 28, was taken from her bed, bound to a barrel and severely beaten by a band of masked men last Wednesday night, it became known here tonight. Sheriff Stutts, of Colbert County, who is conducting an investigation of the affair, said Mrs. Slay told him the men “wore Klan costumes” and beat her “because she would not confess to some scandal in the neighborhood.” Mrs. Slay was unable to give any fur- ther explanation of the affair. The men forced their way into the house late at night, the woman told Sheriff Stutts, forcibly detained her husband, Alvay Slay, and her sister, Miss Lula Dodson in their beds, and took her into the front yard of their home, where she was tied to a barrel. Limbs cut from trees were used in the whipping, she said, “until the men became tired,” when they took a “strap like a fan belt from an automobile,” and continued the whipping. PARIS JUDGES TIGHTEN DIVORCE COURT RULES Paris, July 9 (A.P.).—The European Reno shows signs of tightening up its divorce mill. French judges have be- gun to inquire into the facility with which Americans, previously unknown as residents of France, acquire legal domiciles in Paris. A good deal of indignation is ex- pressed in legal circles that the French law stringently prohibiting publicity in divorce cases is a dead letter as con- cerns divorces procured in France by Americans. The ministry of justice is understood to be investigating the leaks through which divorce detalls get into American papers. The result of this inquiry is said by some French lawyers to be likely to get somebody into the correctional court, because the divulging and publishing of details of divorces is a misdemeanor. Odds are offered that Jack Pickford and Marilyn Miller, motion picture stars, will never get their wedding knot untied in Paris. The trouble in their case is diagnosed as “too much press agent stuff.” French judges read news- paper dispatches from Los Angeles, an- nouncing the departure of film stars, through a perfect understanding be- tween them, for the purpose of getting a divorce. This is regarded around the Palais de Justice as stretching the complaisance of the French courts to the limit.

London, July 9.—The announcement that Osborne House, the favorite home of Queen Victoria, is to be transformed into a hotel is regarded as a tragedy of romance, though its original name (Oysterbourne) was not without some Suggestion of such hospitable use.

Block booking is treated in detail in the findings, with this statement in conclusion: “The purpose and necessary effect of such distribution policy is to lessen competition and to tend to create a monopoly in the motion picture indus- try, tending to exclude from the mar- ket and the industry small independént producers and distributors of films and denying to exhibitors freedom of choice in leasing films.” The original complaint of the com- mission included besides Famous Play- ers-Lasky Corporation and Zuker & Lasky, six corporations and four indi- viduals. The complaint was dismissed as to all of these. They were: Realart Pictures Corporation, the Stanley Co. of America, the Stanley Booking Cor- poration, Black New England Theaters, Inc.; Southern Enterprises, Inc., and the Saenger Amusement Co. and Jules Mastbaum, Aifred S.

FE, come NYE has been painting some pictures in a@ new manner which have the rare quality of originality to recommend them. Mr. Nye has the faculty of being plastic mentally. He never becomes stereo- typed, certainly. He sees life and na- ture in an ever newer and changing way. There is no danger of his be- coming fixed in his style. He is ad- vancing in surety and broadness of vision and consequent strength of technique. This is ever an element of interest in any artist who seeks to progress in his work. The expression of life is never static;:so the artist who is awake and sensitive to the changing moods and aspects of nature must perforce change his manner of paint- ing if he would be thoroughly alive. This Mr. Nye does, and the result in his painting is tremendously interest- ing. He has passed through the phases of “impressionism” and the problems of light on the surface of things, anc at present is interested in the problem of simplification. This means that the artist is seeking to create a work of art, to present an organic whole, unen- cumbered by superfluous details or mere photographic accuracy. His work becomes organic, an expression of his reaction to life, nature, cities, and is presented simply as it impresses the mind of the artist. This organic con- struction is vastly important and is the aim of many of the progressive men of the day. It means that there is no Slipshod work; there is good drawing, fine construction and, in the case of Mr. Nye, a delicate and effective em- ployment of color. Color Is Adequate Perhaps it is this sensitive reaction to the beauty of nature that is the most characteristic element in the work of the painter. Then the color is delicate and adequate at the same time, In “Baltimore,” one of the most re- cent and effective paintings, there is an opalescent tone which takes away what otherwise might be a certain hardness of impression and gives a surety of structure and power that is undentable. “The Old Mill” again shows the simplicity of structure, fine organization, excellent drawing and vitality of color that makes a complete work of art which is satisfying. There ig strength, a certain severity, fine com- position and lucidity of atmosphere that is uncompromising and final. Mr. Nye has the conviction to paint the surrounding country of Washing- ton, the Eastern shore of Maryland and the nearby hills of Cumberland and Pennsylvania. He works very quickly and often paints a large canvas in eight hours of steady work in the open country. Seldom does he do any re- touching of his canvases. Consequent- ly there is a spontaneity of feeling and thought that is never spoiled by being overworked. Monument Painting — One of the most effective of his re- cent paintings Is that of the Washing- ton Monument seen towering above the It is difficult to convey in words the impression of the best canvases. They are not merely buildings, boats, hills or seashore, There is an undeniable something of the spirit, of the emo- tions of the artist, which is the real interest no matter how this may be conveyed. But the manner, too, is the way of a master of his art, for this has been acquired through years of patient endeavor which must be the forerunner of everything worth while in painting. Other recent paintings are “Village Near Frederick,” “Boats in Ice,” “Trees and Hill,” “King Street Bridge,” “Rocks at Great Falls,” “Pennsylvania Moun- tains,” “Boats and Pool.” At the exhibition of the Society of Washington Artists last winter Mr. Nye received the prize for the best land- scape painting with the bronze medal for his painting called “The Port” and the year previously he received honor- able mention. This recognition from & conservative society means that the work of this artist is gaining recogni-~ tion from outside of the usual work of the society, ' The conservative knows that his work ie that of a master as well as the more forward looking artists and art lovers. It is to be hoped that Mr. Nye will soon have a one man show of his work and thus show what he is doing in & more comprehensive manner than it is possible to gain from single paintings seen at various exhibitions. His work is outstanding in a class by itself and it is unhesitatingly predicted that he will become widely known. Pictorial Photographs The exhibition of pictorial photo- graphs by the Cleveland Photographic Society is now on view at the Arts and Industries Building of the United States National Museum. It will be on view every day from 9 until 4:30 o’clock until August 1. The work of this society is of high grade. The pic- tures are in many mediums from bromides to color photography. They are in advance on the photegraphs shown last year by the same society and range all the way from portraits, figure work to landscapes and evening pictures which show the brilliant lights of a great city against the midnight sky. There are some moonlight views, notably one by Lewis Smith, which is excellent. “Dream Vision,” by G. Y. Younge, is most beautiful; others by th same artist are of high degree of workmanship. “A Riva Vista,” by E. C. Hopwood; “Presque Isle Bay,” by W. O. Yates; “Rough Weather,” by J. D. Mor- roy; “The Autumn Moon” and “The House on the Hill,” by G. S. Becker; “The Coming Storm,” by A. H. Legic; “Sheep on Hillside,” Charles Job; “Con- tented Cows,” Henry M. Mayer; “Let There Be Light,” H. C. Strong: “Noc- turne,” Ralph D. Hartman and the prize portrait photograph of the Rev. T. Monayham, of Edinburgh, by Drum- mond Young, which was the regiplent of the prize given at the convéntion: held in this city of photographers in 1926, are some of the best. There is great interest im this exhibition for the general public in the great possibilities for photography. It is becoming al- most as flexible as the brush in de- picting the changing beauties of nature and he human countenance. La Follette Statue Jo Davidson, American sculptor living in Paris is at present at work on a com- mission given by the people of the State of Wisconsin for a Hfe-size statue of the late Senator La Follette, for the rotunda of the Capitol. It is to be erected: within a year. Beautiful Embassy The Cuban Embassy is considered the most beautiful of all the foreign em- bassies in the city. The building on Sixteenth street is a partial copy of an Italian villa, and was designed by for- mer Minister and Mme. Cespe gether with the help of local architects. It is in the Cuban and Italian style ed. The entrance stairway which des to-|. Rea Current Exhibitions. CORCORAN GALLERY — Permanent collections of painting and sculpture.

On view through the summer. the house was designed together with the cornices and the other decorative features by Minister Cespedes and his wife, from plans and details drawn in Italy. Special permission having been ob- tained from the present Ambassador Orestes Ferrara to view the interior of the beautiful building and its art treasures which are many and valuable, the writer was especially fortunate in being able to wander leisurely through the house which was designed like many of the Cuban houses to keep out the heat of the tropics. To the left on entering is a reception room paneled in native woods. The furniture is of embossed and tooled leather on heavily carved mahogany. There are coats of arms in color on the leather and decorative emblems that make rich the impression given. Chairs Are Quaint There are chairs of native mahogany that are found in many of the houses and shops in Havana of quaint shape wholly unlike the chairs of Italy or Spain. This room is strictly formal but with a touch of the real Cuba which is most appropriate. On the ground floor and in the rear of the building is the large, long library which is lined with book cases patterned after designs of Italian Renaissance and executed with dull color on the borders. A long table 12 feet by 5, of fumed oak is the center of attraction in the great room. Flanked at one end with a large mantel at the other with large French windows giving out onto @® garden that are protected by fine iron grill work which permit a free circulation of air at all times and yet afford ample protection from intruders. There are treasures in this room of paintings. A fine portrait by Pietro Longhi, of the Venetian School, of a gentleman and his child shares interest with two paintings of the Roman ruins by Pannini which were at one time part of the belongings of a family of old Italian nobility living in Rome. A bust in colored marble of Marcus Aurelius is another treasure, a veritable antique, which with another antique in the form of a large Roman copper urn adds an atmosphere of remote days to the fine proportions of this room. On the ground floor are the executive Offices of the embassy, which need not detain us. Imposing Staircase The main entrance hall with its im- posing staircase of white marble with balustrades on both sides leads to the upper floor. The lower floor is impres- Sively simple, with a few works of art in the form of stately marble vases, & portrait bust in bronze of Lord Byron, Renaissance settees and chairs, and, flanking the door, of fine grill work, are two marble figures, of Bacchus and a faun. Tall standards for lamps and iron candle-bearers complete the studied simplicity of the entrance hall. It is the fine propor- tions, the lofty ceiling three stories high, the rich rugs and white walls that make for dignity and beauty which are most impressive. The marble staircase leads to the floor above. A portrait of one of the vice-regents of Egypt, painted by an English painter, Maria 8S. Carpenter, in 1838, dominates the hall, below which is a gilded Italian Renaissance marriage chest with painted decorations which give an element of color. On the second floor are the reception rooms, mostly in the French period styles, with valuable furniture. Again it is the proportions of the rooms with their high ceilings which the paneled walls in light cream decorated with lunettes over the doors painted in oil, that charm. The large reception room has hangings of Nattier blue and a re- markable set of furnityire of genuine Aubusson gilded in Louis XV style. Priceless Porcelain Here also are several priceless porce- lain vases, decorative panels of em-’ broidery, and other objets d’ art. The small Marie Antoinette salon is in dull rose hangings, and another rare set of Aubusson, Louis XV furniture, chairs and sofa, and other chairs of the same period. The lunettes painted in oil over the doorways in this room are particularly attractive, and form a decorative feature that takes from the otherwise rather cold walls, . But the room of greatest interest to the writer is the so-called green room. This is in Italian style. Here the fur- ming! fs the chief decorative feature withm niture is Louis XVI, upholstered in green tapestry. eh are of Upper—Baltimore, and lower, The Old Mill, two recent paintings by Edgar Nye. dull green silk, the lunettes over. the qaoorway are scenes of the landing of Columbus. The “clou” of the whole room, however, is an almost priceless Italian ebony cabinet. This cabinet is inlaid with intarsia work of ivory on the ebony. There is a medallion of Catherine de Medici in enamel and three small fig- ures of white marble of Hercules, of Night and Day, all of exquisite work- manship. The cabinet once belonged to the Duke of Parma, who sent it as @ present to the famous Prince Strozzi in Florence. The latter, when he was in financial straits pawned the cab- inet for 60,000 lira to liquidate his debts, There is still another Italian Renais- sance cabinet. This one is in green and gold carved wood of Venetian work- manship. Then there is an Italian painting of the sixteenth century by Rutilo Manetti, the portrait of a lady of noble birth which has charm and much interest. An early Italian Ma- donna completes the most interesting works cf art in this room. Most of these are really museum pieces and are of great value. True Crimson Hue The dining room is a pleasing con- trast to the rather formal spaciousness of the main rooms. It is paneled in dark wood, decorated ceiling and tall carved doors that are massive and of fine workmanship. Here the hangings are of the true Italian crimson brocade satin, a shade so difficult to obtain. There is’ a consol table of green marble surmounted by a red jasper vase of graceful form. Above this is a large painting of the sixteenth century, by the Italian painter, Francesco Albany, of the “Death of Adonis.” This again is a museum painting of harmonious composition and unusual attraction. The \furniture and built- in buffet are of deeply carved mahog- any, of unusual richness. Behind the dining room are the ball- room and the loggia room. The latter serves aS @ garden room, from which refreshments are served on formal oc- casions. The ballroom is richly pan- eled in stucco and furnished with cost- ly hangings and chairs and settees. The house itself is a work of art, as the architecture is of the most excel- lent, the decorative details of great merit and it contains treasures of French and Italian art. It proves that the appreciation of art is highly valued in Cuba. - + ” Gifts to Art It is of interest to know that two great gifts to art recently were made. The first is by Joseph Widener, who has declared that he intends to give to the Nation the famous art collection made by the late P. A. B. Widener, of Philadelphia, and valued at $%20,000,- 000, It consists of sculpture, paintings, tapestries and furniture. The second is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Taft, of Cincinnati, who announce they will give their en- tire collection, valued at from $5,000,- 000 to $10,000,000, to the Cin@innati Institute of Fine Arts, and $1,000,000 in cash. The gift provides that the income from the money be used for the maintenance of the Cincinnati Sym- phony Orchestra. The gift was con- tingent upon the raising of a $2,500,000 endowment fund for the Cincinnati Institute by December 31, 1928. This was promised by @ group of wealthy men, | Bible. ' Phoenician T. E. MOORE TELLS STORY OF OLD SPAIN IN THE HEART OF SPAIN. By Thomas Ewing Moore, 400 pp. (The Universal Knowledge Foundation, New York.) The author of this delightful book was a resident of Washington when he entered the foreign service under his cousin, James G. Blaine, Secretary of State. Mr. Moore was first secretary of legation and frequently charge d’affaires at Bucharest, Belgrade and Peking. During the first years of the war he was special assistant to Ambas- sador Thomas Nelson Page at Rome. Mr. Moore resigned from the diplomatic service to enter the American Red Cross and served three years in France. With a training similar to that en- joyed by Washington Irving a century before, with a kindred affection for Spain, and with an engaging literary style, Mr. Moore is especially qualified to present to his readers glimpses of present-day Spain, with a tinge of romance and history that throws a poetic glamour over his writings. It is with keen delight that one who has visited and reveled in the most picturesque parts of Spain now re- visits them again in reading this book. Mr. Moore not only succeeds in fresh- ening sweet memories, but in enrich- ing them with bits of antique romance not known before. Ronda, Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Jerez de la Fron- tera, Palos, Cadiz—these storied places spring to life in this volume, and the famous characters who walked their streets are again living and acting. The traveler sees what he takes with him. Many Americans visit Andalusia and utterly fail to appreciate its story or its charm, because they take with them no knowledge of its history and no understanding of its peculiarities. For such as these, Mr. Moore’s book is infinitely better than a voyage to Spain. As seen through his eyes the region appears to be what it is—the abode of romance, the nesting-place of Ameri- can discovery, the ancestral home of world-famed explorers. The reader is made to understand how closely that quaint corner of the world is related to himself. Mr. Moore gives generous space to the work of archeologists in Andalusia, especially that of George Bonsor, who has spent more than 40 years in re- searches. His discoveries of Roman ruins and memorials have added much to the knowledge of the history of the Roman occupation of Spain, but he goes further and practically establishes the site of Tartessus, the Tharsis of the Tartessus was a flourishing sea- port in 2000 B. C., and was visited by ships in the days of King Solomon. Cretans, Trojans, and Phoenicians traded in metals at Tar- tessus, meeting there seamen who brought tin from Ireland and amber from Heligoland. Many signs point to i the imminent discovery of the ruins of Tartessus, buried in the sands of the ‘| Guadalquivir delta. Researches at Numantia, Mairena del Alcor, Carmona and Italica are also epitomized by Mr. Moore. The book is printed on ivory silkote paper, with numerous beautiful illus- trations and is bound in cloth, stamped with gold. title and with the seal of the City of Seville. In form and contents its is a valuable addition to any library. Four Editions Proposed Four limited editions are announced by the Pleiad Press for publication this year—"‘The Admirable Crichtoun,” taken from Urquhart’s “Discovery of a Most Exquisite Jewel” (1652), with an introduction by Hamish Miles; “The Silver Book of English Sonnets,” a se- lection from the lesser-known sonnets, by Robert Lynd, who also contributes an introduction: “The Affectionate Shepherd,” by Richard Barnfield, re- printed from the original edition of 1597, and a translation by Maurice Baring of “Fantasio,” a short play by Alfred de Musset. A drawing by Maginel Wright Barney for “Downright Dencey,” by Caroline Dale Snedeker, which has just been published. SAW YER’S “WASHINGTON” PAINTS A VIVID PICTURE OF REVOLUTIONARY HERO After Rupert Hughes’ remarks about the character of Gen Washington it is refreshing to read pages of “Washing- ton,” by Joseph Dillaway Sawyer, the MacMillan Co., New York, written with the respect due to the great man who still remains “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” It has been truly said that Mr. Saw- yer recreates for us the Washington loved and known of his countrymen for generations. Mr. Sawyer came to his task as a well-equipped historian honored for the monumental work, “History of the Pilgrims and Puri- tans,” previously written, and other historical works of note and merit. The George Washington presented by Mr. Sawyer is the man revealed from his own letters, diaries and contemp- oraneous records not built up through the magic of a biased imagination. One of the novel features of the present volume is its ample presentation of the 12-yéar Revolutionary period of Gen. Washington’ life treated with more detail than usual. 250 Portraits in Book The book is a-treasure house of his- torical data, containing more than 1,500 Slustrations, many of them rare and 1iffe known and includes 250 por- ‘traits of Gen. Washington, many of them the work of renowned artists and more than 30 of them known to have been painted during his lifetime. Altogether, they form a unique gal- lery of Washington pictures and in- valuable for reference. For instance, the frontispiece of the book is an orig- inal Houdon-.bust of George Washing- ton published for the first time. Hou- don is said to havs expected to use this bust in an equestrian statue, which was to have been ordered by the United States Government. He did not get the order, however, and re- ‘turned bitterly disappointed to his ‘native France, refusing to sell the bust |after he completed it, for art’s sake. | This bust gives a new idea of Wash- ‘ington; shows him with drooping eye- |lids, care and pathos in his face. | ‘There is rather an innovation in the | dedication of the Washington volumes, for Mr. Sawyer has dedicated them to the “American people, the product of George Washington’s ._leadership,” in commemoration of the 200th anniver- sary of his birth. In his foreword the author claims that wherever he found a period written in Washington’s words, that vivid pic- tures are drawn of his own life and personality better than any historian could do it. Speaking of Washington’s great gifts as a letter writer, Mr. Sawyer says in a note: “Of over 26,000 letters written by George Washington and to- day accessible to view, not one reveals a line or a word that, with intent, un- justly condemns, a human being.” To students of Washingtonia there is much charm in the elaborate treatment Terse Reviews of Latest Books on. Our Shelves THE WOMEN’S SIDE. By Clemence Dare (George H. Doran Co., New York). Kipling said, “‘Shout it so the wom- en’s side can“hear,” and his country- woman has taken up the challenge and shouted through the pages of this ex- tremely well written book so both men and women can hear the woman’s side. While this book is written from the viewpoint of an Englishwoman, it deals with questions of interest to women all over the world and displays quite as wide a knowledge of the woman’s side here as it does over there. Besides being a very good treatise on the women’s viewpoint addressed to the women’s side of the fence, this book has the added virtue of real literary value. The writer has displayed such a wide knowledge of the versatility of men and women writers that the book might well serve a dual purpose, as the presen- tation of the woman question and as a series of lectures on literature. Altogether, the writer of this book thinks that man has made a very good bargain in giving woman the privilege of doing a man’s as well as her own work, and graciously permitting her to work herself to death. Women are eager and keen and ready to work them- selves to death, according to this writer, for woman always has been a fool where a physical capacity is concerned. She resents being told she can not do every- thing a man can, and she has never learned and never will learn that though the spirit is willing the flesh is weak. “How long” is the pertinent question asked in thjs volume, “will women be able to endure the unthinkable strain on the nerves of modern life in a great city.” With a straight-from-the-shoulder blow, Miss Dare assails the petty tyran- nies, beginning with the edict of the English Board of Guardians that nurses must not cut their hair in the modern way or at all, and other attempts to curtail the liberty of the English women. “But sometimes it seems,” Miss Dare writes, “as if with the advent of com- munism our English ideas of what lib- erty means have changed. Nowadays freedom seems to mean the suppres- sion of all wishes of single persons in order to please an idol called ‘the peo- ple.” Yet the exploits of the people, whether we take the French Revolu- tion of a hundred years ago or the Russian one of today, seem to be not much more attractive than the actions of a Teutonic autocracy.” Religion, the educational value of acting in the schools and the wide problems of divorce from the viewpoint of the women’s side are discussed in a logical manner. GUGGENHEIM—By Dorothy Disney and Milton Mackaye, with introduc- tion by Nunally Johnson (Albert and Charles Boni, New York). Every drawing room is a schoolroom in these days of cross-word puzzles and question games. The latest and’ most fascinating game is Guggenheim, which taxes not only the memory on and also tests the rapidity with which the mind works. It is easy enough to think of the answers to the questions asked. Sometimes it takes more than a minute .of thought to think of an answer beginning with a certain desig- nated letter which is the rock of Gug- genheim. Each group of questions must be answered in a required time in order to make the score. As a leaven to the discomfiture of those who do not make a perfect score, certain well-known men and¥ women have been given the questions and their scores are printed in this book. Few of them have made a perfect one. Of course, the participants’ great Joy is to find that the answers in the back of the book are wrong. We are in- clined to agree with certain bright minds which have discovered that New Haven is not the capital of Connecticut any more. GENTLEMEN MARCH. By Roland Pert- wee (Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston.) A story, as the cover says, of “chiv- alry, audacity, loyalty.” The hero is one Nicholas Cheyne. A student of art in Paris, he meets and falls most desperately in love with a princess of the royal house of a small kingdom which the author calls Scirel. A revo- lution overturns the throne. Cheyne had served in the* famous Foreign Legion in the World War. He visits Scirel, and by audacity, assisted by some of those still loyal to the fam- ily of the princess, he overthrows the revolutionary government, which is communistic in its nature, and then endeavors to leave rather than by try- ing to reap a reward by marrying the princess, now the queen. The new queen, as deeply in love, refuses to permit him to go and all ends happily. THE LIFE OF WILLIAM THE CON- QUEROR. By Sarah Henry Benton. (Lincoln MacVeigh, New York.) Great as some of the kings of Eng- land were, there has been none of them the story of whose life is more attrac- tive than William the Conqueror. It has been written many times and is famillar to all readers of history, yet every time it is rewritten it reads like new. The natural son of Robert le Diable, Duke of Normandy, installed at the early age of 8 years in the duke- dom by his father, he lived to become one of the most daring and successful warriors, and for the times in which he lived, a just and wise ruler. ° Compelled to fight almost continu- ously for the dukedom given to him by his father, he yet found time to con- ceive and execute a most daring scheme of conquest. His conquest of England started that nation on a path of great- ness it has steadily followed from that day to the present time. The author of this new biography of the great Nor- man conqueror has told the story in a most delightful and entertaining man- ner. The painti of the conqueror’s character is not overdone, his faults are not condoned nor execused. The reading public will gladly welcome this new story of the life and doings of the one who gave to England that remark- everyday affairs but on the classics. able line of Plantagenet kings, THE FAMINE IN SOVIET RUSSIA. 1919-1923. By H. H. Fisher (The Mac- Millan Co., New York). This book on the operations of the American Relief Administration by the chief of the historical department of the American Relief Administration and lecturer in history in Stanford Uni- versity will be of great interest to those who are interested in international relations. The relief administration’s problems, not the least of which were the constant necessity of contending against Bolshevik interference and jealousy, against suspicion and opposi- tion at home and against a broken- down transportation system, are graphi- cally described by Mr. Fisher. In spite of all these difficulties, he tells of the saving of the lives of thousands of Rus- sian children, the distribution of food and clothing to a large number of needy peasants and splendid work done in medical relief and prevention of dis- ease and in relief of Russian refugees. Altogether, it was an achievement of which America may well be proud, he contends. “I, THE JEW.” By Maurice Samuel. (Harcourt Brace & Co., New York.) This is a revolt against rationalism by a young Jew. Rationalism, as he interprets it, is submerging the whole of the western world. This young Jew has received a scientific education in a Western university and has made a careful study of his subject. In the first chapter he makes an as- sault on the superstitions of science and the attempt in the name of pseudo- scientific rationalism to reduce life to meaningless laboratory terms and to wipe out all spiritual distinctions by denying that they can be weighed or measured. The second key chapter is an analysis of the religion which once attempted to wipe out all spiritual and intellectual distinctions by the method of ecclesi- astical regimentation. In this chapter the author indicates why the Jew can not accept Christianity, even as an ex- tension of Judaism. ‘ ‘The third chapter is an assault on the pseudo-Judaism of the assimila- tionist Reform Jew, who, he claims, may be a willing instrument of the internationalist, because he no longer possesses the instinct of individuality. yAltogether this is personal history written in impersonal terms—the history of the most important aspect of man, his faith. THE MYSTERY OF SAINTS ISLAND. By Harriette R. Campbell. (Harper & Bros., New York.) Girna, the lonely little daughter of the House of Spirr is the inheritor of the deadly feud between the MacNeils of Nell. But finds a way out of her difficulties and discovers an enchanted island, which the author describes in such a way that it will hold the at- tention of the girls for whom this mystery story is written. The tale has fascination and uncertainty and glow- ing color and an understanding of child and girls and boys in their teens, Mr. Sawyer has given to the discus- sion of the family tree with its roots deep in British soil reaching back more than 800 years to remembered tradi- tions at the time of the American Revo- lution. He traces in direct unbroken line Washington’s ancestry to about 1490, strangely enough to about the same period when America was discov- ered by Christopher Columbus. In less authenticated steps the line extends back still further to the days of Will- iam the Conqueror when we find the name of Washington masquerading in the earlier form of Wessyngton. A WIIl- jam Wessyngton, according to this author, fought for his king in the war of the barons in the battle of Lewes, May 14, 1284 and “the following two centuries continued the martial record, showing the Washingtons to be valiant fighting men and intense Royalists.” We find mention of the English resi- dences of the Washingtons, including Sulgrave Manor, which has now become saved for posterity through the activi- ties of the Anglo-American Peace Cen- tenary Committee. It is interesting also to trace our national seal and coat of arms in their evolution from the Washington seals and coats of arms and shields. Colonial Times Described In his second chapter Mr. Sawyer very properly digresses from the main theme to describe colonial Virginia at the time John Washington, the first of his line in America, arrived from Tring, England, to settle there. This early Virginian was a friend of Na- thaniel Bacon, the Cromwell of the Old Dominion, who defied Gov. Berke- ley to his face and who led the short and ill-fated “Bacon's rebellion,” the first blow struck for liberty in the New World. The Washingtons played a manly part in colonial affairs until George was born, on February 11 (old style), 1732, at Wakefield, on the Potomac. His father was Augustine Washington, grandson of the first settler, John Washington, and his mother, Mary Ball, “the Rose of Epping Forest,” as she was called. The author shows rather conclusive- ly that instead of Wakefield being a mere cottage, it was a substantial ma- nor house, as shown by its foundations, with as many as seven bedrooms, an unusual number for that day and gen- eration. With pleasing detail Mr. Sawyer shows us the boy Washington, fun- loving, yet serious-minded at times. One of the most interesting chapters is that dealing with ancient Freder- icksburg, where the Washingtons lived, at Pine Grove farm. Fredericksburg is the cradle of American Presidents, for seven Presidents of the United States were born either in the city or within 50 miles of it. The town abounds in historic landmarks. There began Washington’s Masonic career. Military Warfare Acquired Next we see Washington, the British colonial officer, learning the ways of military warfare and statecraft at one and the same time. There he laid the foundations of that military genius which amazed the world and which at first glance seemed so contrary to the nature of a Virginia planter. When his early experiences in the French and Indian wars are remembered, the rea- son for this talent becomes apparent. With 1759 came new developments in the life of Washington. The planter, the surveyor, the military man now be- came the legislator—the statesman in embro—and a married man. On Janu- ary 6, 1759, Col. Washington became the husband of the sprightly, wealthy widow, Martha Dandridge Parke Custis, and four months later he took his seat as a burgess in the Virginia Assembly at Williamsburg. The scene when Washington first entered the legislative halls is well described by Mr. Sawyer: “It is related,” he writes, “that when Washington entered the hall, the speaker, in recognition of the young officer’s distinglished service on the border, welcomed him in the name of Virginia. Washington, abashed, at- tempted to reply, but speech failed him. Perceiving the young man’s em- barrassment, the Speaker proceeded to eulogize him with rare delicacy: ‘Sit down, Mr. Washington. Your modesty is equal to your valor, and that sur- passes the power of any language which I possess.’ ”’ Then followed the happy days as a gentleman farmer at Mount Vernon, a bucolic life which greatly suited the simple temperament of Washington. The problems of agriculture occupied his mind and he was fond of experi- menting with crops much as his neigh- bor of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, who found a similar delight in new and delightful varieties of plants, flowers and trees. Binds Own Books The Mount Vernon plantation was all sufficient and it was the proud boast of the master and mistress that every physical need was supplied from the industry there, even to bookbind- ing, at which craft Washington is said to have been an expert. A merry group of stepchildren provided the human interest to life at Moynt Vernon and there was much social activity in prog- ress at all times. Across the quiet life at Mt. Vernon gathered the clouds of Revolution. Washington watched from afar, his patriotic soul troubled and on. fire at the ceaseless tyrannies of the mother country inflicted upon her colonies. His brave spirit could not tolerate in- justice and he was a willing delegate to the first general Congress held in Phila- delphia in 1774. This first Continental Congress. was a significant step for- ward in the history of America. Its key note was sounded by the fiery words of Patrick Henry, “British op- pression has effaced the boundaries of the several colonies. The distinctions between Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, I am an American!” Only a few short months intervened between this speech and actual war- fare. When it struck the first thought of Washington was for the safety of his mother at Fredericksburg. He bought a house for her in the city proper so ‘She would not be left on the exposed Pine Grove Farm. He foresaw that | Virginia was to be one of thé b&ttle- HISTORIC ROMANCES TOLD ANEW There are certain names in American history which breathe eternal charm in the very mention. These names are fragrant memories to the people of to- day and open vistas to past scercs down which the men «nd women of the present may visualize the gracious and gallant figures which appeared on the stage of America’s youth. The shelves of our libraries are filled with books chronicling the brave deeds of early colonists and Revolu- tionary heroes and the sagacity of statesmen who founded and s6us- tained our Nation. Only here and there is brief mention made to the romance which prevailed in their lives and in “Half Forgotten Romances of American History,” by Elisabeth Ellicott Poe (The Stylus Publishing Co., Washing- ton), a welcome opportunity is pre- sented to read the love stories of the great men and the women who assisted them on their way to fame. In this way their personalities are vividly re- created for the men and women of 1927. With facile pen, Miss Poe has handled expertly the romantic phases with a due attention to historic facts. For several years these “Half Forgot- ten Romances of American History,”: have been appearing in The Sunday Washington Post and have elicited much favorable comment. It was in response to an insistent demand from a public acquainted with the Romances in the Sunday Post that they have now been put into book form. Because of the historic value of these romances Miss Poe was invited by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution to incorporate them in an illustrated lecture and which is now being released by that society for Daughters of the American Revolution chapter gatherings. Among the romances includde in the present volume are those of Columbus and Beatriz Enriquez, Sir Walter Ra- leigh and Elizabeth Throkmorton, Will- jam Penn and Gulielma Springett, Le- fayette and Adrienne de Noailles, George Washington and Martha Dan- dridge Custis, Nathan Hale and Alice Ripley, Thomas Jefferson and Marthe Skelton, Betty Washington and Field- ing Lewis, Edgar Allan Poe and Vir- ginia Clemm, Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge, Robert E. Lee and Mary Parke Custis, U. 8. Grant and Julia Dent and Stonewall Jackson and Elea- nor Junkin. e Book Notes “De Cuttsheep From Miles Stand- ish”? forms the “prolock” to Milt Gross’ latest book, “Dunt Esk,” Just published by George H. Doran Co., New York. As in “Nize Bebby” and “Hiawatta,” Gross writes in his unique style of Jewish dia- lect. Parodies, satires and a generous portion of “Poppa Wit Momma Feitle- baum Wit Looy” form the content of the new book. The Oxford University Press, Ameri- can branch, announces for early publi- cation a “Memorandum on China and the Foreign Powers,” by Sir Frederick Whyte. This Memorandum is an excel- lent and unbiased narrative of foreign influence in China from the earliest times to the present date, and a brief but searching analysis of the present problem in China. The collection of documents in the appendices should be valuable to any serious reader. “Men of Destiny,” a new book which will appear in August, has some strik- ing things to say about Borah, Coolidge, Al Smith, Mellon, Wilson and House, and other prominent politicians, as well as certain literary figures that are much in the public eye, like H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. The author is Wal- ter Lippman, who directs the editorial page of the New York World. Rollin Kirby, the famous cartoonist, has illus- trated the book. It will be published by Macmillan. A prize of $500 with two additional prizes of $250 each have been offered in a contest for the best poems on the subject of Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis, which will be published, to- gether with the hundred best poems, by George H. Doran Co. This contest, ar- ranged by Mitchell Kennerley, president of the Anderson Galleries, will be judged by Mr. Kennerley, John Farrar, former editor of the Bookman and chief of the editorial staff of Doran’s, and Christopher Morley, essayist and novelist. No limitation is placed on the number of manuscripts that may be submitted by one author, the only re- strictions being that the poems shall be not less than fourteen lines nor more than 300. All contributions must be in the hands of the judges at 489 Park avenue, New York City, not later than July 25. fields of the Revolution and he knew that she would be safer in the town. Then he plunged into the vortex of Revolution out of which he was to bring a people victorious and to evolve & new nation. Mr. Sawyer has given us graphic high lights on the whole Revo- lutionary period with interesting facts before not generally known. For this act alone, if for nothing more, he de- se the thanks of patriotic Ameri- ns. Hero Declines Crown The heroic spirit of Washington was never better evinced than after the voctory was won, and a frenzied people, wild with delight, wished to place a crown upon his brow. Washington de- clined, he knew the right use of power, When made President he knit firmly the bonds between the colonies after having had a full share in the con- stitutional convention of 1789. While in office he made as good a President as he had a general and Revolutionary leader. There was no touch of earthly taint about his glory. He remains the supreme hero of godlike mien. His services in the Presidency ended, Washington gladly retired to the seclue sion of Mount Vernon: There the world came to call upon him and lay tribute anew at his feet. .The author has beautifully depicted these Mount Ver- non last years. Taking up the matter of Washing- ton’s religious life, a point which has been frequently attacked, Mr. Sawyer points out that: ‘“Washington’s - na- ture was deeply reverent; religion waa essentially a matter of his inner life and consciousness, and church attend- ance was merely ‘the outward and visible sign of an inward and spirituai grace’—which was the full measure of his Christianity. Excerpts quoted ig these pages from Washington’s writ- ings breathe faith and trust in a Higher Power. Upon one occasion he wrote: “*The hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this that he.musi be worse than infidel that lacks faith) and more than wicked that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge hig obligations.’ ”’ . At the end of the second volume is what the author calls “an abridged encyclopedia of important portraits an sculptures.” It includes 250 portyai of Washington and gives additional value to this monumental work which no student of Washington should b¢ without in his library.

_—— HE iW ASHIN GTON POST: PARENT-TEACHER ACTIVITIES | The “Parent-Teacher Activities” col- timn is to be continued during the Summer vacation. Will any one doing any work for children of any kind be good enough to send notices and de- gcriptions of their work and its devel- Opment to the office, 800 Eighteenth street northwest, Apartment 31? District of Columbia have adjourned for the summer. As they actively op- €rate only while the schools are in ses- Bion, it seems tragic that these well- Ali Parent-Teacher associations of the | ' ! perts pronounced the District of Co- lumbia exhibit excellent, because it had only undertaken to show the one thing—the growth and achievements of the local groups during the past year. Explanation of true exhibit work and consrtuctive criticism of the exhibits formed part of the class work of the Publicity Institute, conducted by Mrs. Laura Underhill Kohn, the manager of the National Publicity Bureau, held in connection with the convention. |The District of Columbia president, 'Mrs. Rafter, and delegate, Mrs. Kalm- bach, attended all of these classes and Organized groups of fathers and movn- | ers, whose children are now idle, @re not Summer months. The officers who have carried burden of the ten months of the school year should be relieved during the vacation time. But other groups should be organized from the associations to take charge of community activities of the children for the vacation time. The work was 60 intensive this past year that there did not seem to be time to develop this movement. It is to be hoped that some of the associations are feeling the responsibility and are doing the work, although no notice of it has been made public. Will any grceups in the District of Columbia that are doing work to care for leisure time of children send a little article in to the office, 800 Eigh- teenth street northwest, apartment 31, telling of the work? This would be of great help to groups who have not de- veloped any such activity but are feel- ing much concern that the children are not being better cared for in their vacation time. were in school and with no regular duties, Onc of the vice presidents of a very large association has consented to give Suggestions and outlines that may be helpful to many sections of the city. The first article is as follows: “Summer Activities for Children.” “The Club of Six.” With Freddie and Johnnie off to their camp in the mountains and Billy gone West with his grandfather the old gang is sadly broken up. New friendships must be formed, new ac- tivities must be planned. Shall we allow our children to make these new friendships and plan these new activi- ties without any direction or concern on our part, or shall we join in and play with our children as we have never played before? Here is a pl an to solve the problem of summer activities for children and at the same time bring us to a con- sideration of the wise use of leisure the two vital subjects which the Parent- Teacher Association desires to have considered this summer: The plan is merely grouping children into conveniently small groups for the purpose of achieving definite results in their play this summer. The Club of Six is to be formed of children as near the same age as pos- sible, living within the same neighbor- hood. There is no limit to the num- ber of clubs that may be formed, but one mother should not attempt to have more than one club under her direction—exception to this rule may occur when conditions warrant. The club is formed by mutual agree- ment and is held together by the de- sire to play constructively in order to gain the greatest possible benefit from whatever activities it may choose. A program of such activities will be out- lined and prizes will be awarded to those clubs turning in the best re- sults at the end of the summer, or about September 15th. Any mother who would like to have her children take part in the activi- ties of these clubs, should get in touch with other mothers in her neighborhood and talk over the matter of forming the children into groups of six, according to age and sex; or the club may be made up of both boys and girls of different ages if they decide they can work together harmoniously. Then a director must be chosen—any person who likes to help children en- joy themselves—a big brother or sister, aunt or cousin, can fill the place quite as well as a mother. When you have your club formed send in the name and address of the director, the names and ages of chil- dren. You will then receive your club number, a list of the activities plan- ned and directions for competing for the prizes. Here are a few of the things that will *be done in the clubs this summer: There will be a nature treasure chest and everything that is found of inter- est may go into this chest. A collec- tion of pressed leaves, and wild flowers, shells, stones, seed pods, but every- thing must be labeled with its correct mame and place where found. Every week the club can visit some point of interest in or around Washington and keep a record in an illustrated scrap- book. A number of subjects will be suggested for the building of scrap- hooks. the material for study and ob- servation being found in the National Muséum. These books can be illus- trated by free hand drawing and the information acquired from the labels of the subjects studied. ‘There will be a prize for the best rag dol., all the work to be done by club members. A prize for the best doll house and set of furniture. A prize for the best set of wooden toys. Eich club can make a pass-time box to Be sent to the children of the Trav- elers’ Aid and Juvenile Court. Scrap- books which tell a story through their pictures will be made for the children’s hospitals. From the children’s library will be gotten a list of books to-be read aloud. The club can meet as often as desired and have the director or some miother read aloud. There will be hooks filled with fun and laughter, to- gether with serious books which when read sympathetically and understand- ingly sink down into the child’s nature forming the basis for many good im- pulses. If you would like to have a Club of Six communicate with Mrs. Franklin Jones, 2844 Wisconsin avenue, Cleve- land 4460. (This is the first article of a series.) As the work of the Parent-Teacher » Associations grows in the various States it becomes increasingly difficult to show the various activities by means of exhibits at the national conventions. The exhibits this year at the national convention in Oakland filled two very large rooms in addition to the displays by educationa) firms, and the Califor- nia State exhibits which lined the cor- ridors of the Civic Auditorium. A care- ful study of the exhibits and Sate scrap-books would prove profitable to any parent-teacher member, and is one of the greatest sources of inspiration of a convention. For tue first time in the history of the District of Columbia branch, the State had all of the required exhibits. The of Columbia state pub- licity scrap book was among the ten best books selected to form a traveling -exisibit. The exhibit of ten local pub- licity scran books sent to represent the: District of Columbia was the only “exhinit of its kind—a hanging wall .panel, on which all the books were in plain sight. Eight of these ten books “received gcid stars---the highest award for loca! %ooks! They were: Bur- oes *-roughs, Pex... 8; K. Hodgson; Eaton, ' Mrs. H. E. Rossel!; Langdon-Woodridge. Mrs. B. R.

Ex- “carrying on” throughout the | the work for the nine or | Cyrus T. Bright, and and lace allotted to them many found them to be most -educational. It is to be hoped that the work of the District may receive more and more legitimate publicity and thus extend its usefulness. The June issue of the Parent-Teacher Magazine closes a very successful year from every standpoint. It is felt that every Officer and every member vitally interested in the wel- fare of the schools should have a copy of each issue on file. There is no better way to keep in close contact with P. T. A. work than by having this ever ready reference. Copies of this issue may be called for at the main office, 800 Eighteenth street northwest, apartment 31, The Juvenile Court unfortunately has more work to do in the summer than in any other season of the year, so the chairmen who are in charge of the parent-teacher rooms at the court are active all the summer. Satan proverbially finds mischief for idle hands to do, and the closing of the schools means no vacation for the Juvenile Court committee of the Dis- trict of Columbia Congress of Parent- Teacher Associations. The rooms at the court, which are fitted up for the comfort of the un- fortunate children who must wait there, are crowded these warm days and the women in charge must work overtime. In spite of the depletion of the ranks by the holiday exodus from Washing- ton, which makes it difficult to find women able to assume this responsi- bility, the work is not allowed to lapse, but each Wednesday there will be found at least two devoted workers at this post of duty to cheer and comfort the children whose homes have failed them. One visit to these rooms on a Wednes- day morning will convince you of the need for this work, and we believe that you will come away with a thrill of pride that it is being weli done by the Parent-Teacher organization. So much that was of vital interest to} each member of the parent-teacher as- | sociations in the District of Columbia took place at the convention of the national congress of parents and teach-' ers in Oakland, Calif., that it will take weeks to give even the high lights to the readers of the “Parent-Teacher Ac- tivities” column. Therefore, for sev- eral weeks there will be in this col- umn “echoes” of the national conven- tion. In the afternoon of May 25 the Berkeley Federation and the Univer- sity of California entertained the dele- dates to the national convention of parents and teachers on the campus of the university. The Berkeley Federation was assisted by the Mount Diablo Federation, Vic- tory Link Federation and Richmond Federation. The delegates were taken to Berkeley by autos driven by the Oakland and Berkeley motor corps conducted by the traffic police of Berkeley and Oakland. The hostesses of the day greeted the delegates in the Greek Theater. The Berkeley High School played many numbers. Greetings were extended here by the chairman of the day, Mrs. Frank W. Hart, and Mrs. Evan J. Foulds, presi- dent of the Berkeley Federation. Band The guests were then presentd with bright-colord parasols, the gift of the Berkeley Federation. Following the presentation a pil- primage was made over the campus. At the Hearst Mining Building Mayor Frank D. Stringham, of Berkeley, wel- comed the guests. At the Campanile, vice president of the university, Robert | Sproul, extended the welcome of the university and told brifly some of the history of that institution. The pilgrimage then turned toward the new Hearst Memorial Building. Here Mrs. Reeve and the State presi- dents dedicated an oak tree to the memory of Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, one of the founders of the national congress. Mrs. William Hayes, president of the Second district, presented also at this time a beautifully tramed picture of Mrs. Hearst to the national congress. Dean and Mrs. Baldwin Wood, Dean and Mrs. Harold Bruce, Superintendent of Scnools and Mrs. H. B. Wilson, Mrs. A. H. Reeve, president of the national congress, and Mrs. F. O. McCulloch, president of the California congress, received the guests in the gymnasium, where tea was served to all delegates and visitors. On Thursday, May 26, at the Oak- land Hotel, the Child Welfare Magazine Gold Star breakfast was held. Mrs. C. H. Remington, chairman, presided. The District of Columbia was one of the twenty States that earned their invitations to this breakfast, which was given as a reward to those who accomplished unusual results in their Child Welfare Magazine subscription work. There were greetings by the editor in chief, Mrs. M. W. Reeve, and by the contributing editor, Joy Elmer Morgan., Associate Editors M. S. Ma- son, M. L. Langworthy and L. U. Kohn were special guests. On Friday, May 27, the summer round-up luncheon was held at the Hotel Oakland at noon, Mrs. A. H. Reeve presiding. Awards of gavels made from the oak tree under which Mrs. Birney, the founder, played as a little girl at Mari- etta, Ga., were presented by R. E. Jones, of Atlanta, Ga., were given to Alabama, first State to send in 1927 registrations; Michigan, State enroll- ing the largest number of associations; District of Columbia, State enrolling the largest per cent of its associations; Greensboro, N. C., the first 100 per cent city; Kalamazoo County, Mich., the first 100 per cent county. A bulletin prepared by J. R. Rogers, M. D., specialist in physical education and school hygiene, entitled “Is Your Child Ready for School?” is being sent out by the Bureau of Education, De- partment of the Interior. Copies of this bulletin can be gotten from the office or from the Bureau of Education. Dr. James G. Cumming, chief of the Bureau of Preventable Diseases, recently sent the following letter to the chair- man of summer round-up, Mrs. H. R. Smalley. This letter is being printed on account of the message is carries concerning the immunization against iphtherla: “I am returning to you under sep- arate cover the list of mames and ad- dresses of those enrolled in your sum- mer round-up. “It was very good of you to loan us this list and I wish to say that we have communicated with each one of the named persons by sending them a diphtheria immunization request card. “You may be interested in knowing that in four health centers during the month of June almost 500 children were immunized against diphtheria. We anticipate an equal number for the two following summer months.” Mrs. Joseph Sanders, the health chairman of the District of Columbia Congress of Parent-Teacher Associa- tions, is abroad, but will return in Au- gust to again take up her work. The Service School Parent-Teacher Association had the pleasure of hearing the District of Columbia president, Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, give an interesting and edifying talk on her recent trip to the national convention held in Cali- fornia. The association is glad to state, in the midst of summer vacations, that nine presidents and seven members of other associations attended the meeting. They were Mrs. E. Zimmerman, president of Blow; Mrs. R. Hoagland, member of Brookland; Mrs. Andrew Stewart, pres- ident, and Mrs. L. B. Castell, member, of Central High; Mrs. Allen Davis, presi- dent, Cranch-Tyler; Mrs. J. L. Parrish, president, and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Edwards, members of Grant; Mr. W. B. Fry, president, MacFarland Junior High; Mrs. E. W. Burr, former president, Reservoir-Conduit; Mr. B. A. Chandler, president, and Mrs. Chandler, member, Takoma Park; Mrs. H. A. Young, president, Van Ness; Mrs. E. W. Patterson, former president, Wallach- Towers, and Mrs. LaVarre, member, of West, and Mrs. A. C. Tolson, honorary life member of the District of Columbia Congress. Mrs. Rafter explained how the dele- gates spent their time, morning, noon and night, in active work. She espe- clally mentioned the many schools that she visited and school equipment. The schools of the West are matchless in | point of detail in equipment and mate- rials. They are built not only with an eye for beauty but for definite practi- cal adequate service, from which noth- ing needful has been omitted. Parent- teacher associations of the West have accomplished this and are far in ad- vance of their sisters in the East. Much can be learned from their rapid progress. Schools there are equipped with lunchrooms where children may buy wholesome, well-prepared food at nominal charges, in some instances | even as low as a penny for a bowl of |soup. They | ce not consider plans for school buildi:.gs where no provisions have been made for parent-teacher meetings.

July 9 (A.P.).— The death penalty will be demanded for Mrs. Ida Lebouef, Dr. Thomas Dreher and James Beadle, charged with the slaying of Mrs. Emile Villemot. announced today. A special session of the St. Mary Par- ish grand jury will be called next Tues- day to look into the death of James J. Lebouef, Morgan City business man, whose body was found in a lake early this week. Mrs. Lebouef and Dr. Dreher have confessed, Sheriff Charles Pecot announced, that they conspired to bring about the death of the husband, and declared that Beadle shot Mr. Le- bouef while the latter was riding on the lake. Beadle has repeatedly denied that he did the shooting, or that he destroyed the boat in which Lebouef met death Sheriff Pecot said he planned to con- front Beadle with two witnesses who said they saw him cut the boat to pieces. Lebouef’s husband, | the district attorney | Dr. Dreher’s admonition to his wife “not to worry” because “about nine- tenths of what you have heard is not true,” and the statement of James R. Parkerson, retained as counsel for the physician, that “an adequate defense” would be forthcoming, indicated that the three defendants would fight con- viction for the crime to which two of them have confessed. If indicted, they will be tried July 26. The prisoners were in better spirits today, Sheriff \pe~ot said, and each ask- ed if they misfit see the other. This permission was @enied them. Only Three Studies For “Ideal” School Philadelphia, July 9 (A.P.).—Choos- ing courses would be the least of the .worries of a student in an “ideal high school” visualized by Dr. W. W. Com- fort, president of the Haverford Col- lege. Only students ambitious to get to college would be admitted, and only three subjects would be taught. Dr. Comfort thinks they should be mathe- matics, English and Latin. These three subjects, he says, will train the mind for anything else. He believes that three-fourths of the sub- jects taught in public schools are worth- less in the mental development of pupils. THE WEATHER 2 TODAY’S SUN AND TIDE TABLE Sun rises.....

Built Two Rigid Airships. Maine .- Dirigible Designer Submits Departure in Aircraft Plans for Ship to Replace Shenandoah Destroyed During 1925. More than 1,800 parachute drops in a lifetime devoted to battling the upper air currents, and later in the unwieldy contraptions known as “flying ma- chines,” have done little to impair the physical vigor and mental alertness of Alexander V. Wilson, of Bar Harbor, Me. Mr. Wilson at the age of 67 years has designed a type of dirigible balloon, which created a stir among officials there when the working plans of it were submitted in the recent compe- titive bidding for a ship to replace the Shenandoah, destroyed by a storm in Ohio, in 1925. The ship planned by him is a new departure in aircraft. It closely resembles the ordinary dirigible ‘in appearance, but instead of gasoline engines for motive power, Mr. Wilson | plans to use compressed air driven tur- bines. The compressed air generator, accord- ing to Mr. Wilson’s plan, will hang far below the ship when aloft. It will use crude oil for fuel. With this arrange- ment he says it will be possible to use | hydrogen gas for inflation of the ship, with no danger of explosion. The craft will have an endurance of 130 hours flight without refueling, its inventor declares. The plans submitted by him were given third place in the final con- sideration by the Navy Department. Robust Despite Years. Wilson, despite his years, is of robust appearance, keen of eye and light of step. He made his first balloon ascen- sion in 1869, at Boston, Mass. At a fair in Crawfordville, Iowa, in 1873 he made a parachute leap from a balloon. As he jumped the bag freed of his weight, shot skyward. The people stood speechless at the spectacle of a human form hurtling from the clouds like a meteor. The speed at which he dropped was magnified by the illusion created by the swift rise of the gas bag. Many women fainted and it was not until Wilson opened his parachute and floated slowly earthward that the people realized that they were not witnessing a tragedy. After that, Wilson thrilled the crowds with the same performance many times. He went from fair to fair heralded as the “daredevil of the skies.” When he had ample funds from successful fairs he inflated his balloons with gas. If money was scarce he used hot air, | filling the bag from trenches piled with inflammable material soaked with oil so as to generate intense heat rapidly. With a happy smile Wilson recalled the days when he landed from the train in the morning at the scene of a large fair or exposition and loaded his balloon on a wagon to be driven about the town to advertise the death- defying leap he was to make in the afternoon. Invents Double Leap. Later he invented the double para- chute leap to stir up waning public interest in ballooning and parachut- ing. The double leap went over big. Wilson, carrying two parachutes leaped from the balloon when the desired altitude was reached, and after a ® ALEXANDER V. WILSON. breath-taking drop, opened one of the parachutes. Floating serenely toward the throng below for a few minutes, he cast off the parachute and hurtled toward the crowd at lightning speed. Panic ensued, the onlookers fearing more for their own safety than for Wilson’s generally took flight and upon recover- ing their composure glanced skyward to see Wilson once more floating down attached to the reserve parachute. Claims were filed for patents on a “glider” or motorless plane which Wil- son designed and demonstrated near Eagle Lake, Bar Harbor, Maine, as early as 1904. He built two rigid airships with his own hands at his Bar Harbor shop. Both planes were flown by him experimentally. In New York Wilson had charge of two of the earliest airship shows on record, in 1906 and 1907. He was at one time employed by the Govern- ment as a designer to assist Capt. Thomas 8S. Baldwin in the design of a dirigible which was later used at Fort Myer, Va. Wilson made his last flight about three years ago. He has not given up the idea of flying, he said, but advanc- ing years have made him less inclinece to take chances. He is the father of seven children, six of whom are girls, of which five are graduate nurses. ? Gives Mishap Causes. Modern machines and modern meth- | ods have done much to lessen the chances of air disasters but Wilson de- clares that 90 per cent of airplane accidents are due to the design of the rudder. Because of its rigidity and failure to compensate for sudden blasts of wind from above or below many planes are thrown into a tail spin or | nose dive at low altitudes resulting in accidents, he said. When asked about air pockets, Wil- son laughed, “They don’t exist. What is commonly called an air pocket. or vacuum in the air is nothing more than &@ sudden directional change in the wind. It is called an air pocket be- cause, a ship, encountering such a change in wind current, loses its | buoyancy and drops straight down until a sustaining wind pressure is once more under its wings,” he said. Wulson believes that the planes de- signed and manufactured in this coun- try are far superior to those of Euro- pean nations, but declares that the Europeans are far ahead of us in the organization of the airplane industry for commercial purposes. 7 in 10 Wayward Girls Said to “Find” Selves New York, July 9 (A.P.).—Seven out ten wayward girls redeem thein- | selves and win successful places in the | world, i; | cases at the Inwood House, a welfare according to a survey of 130 _| institution. humidity—&8& a. m : Rainfall (S Hours of sunshine, 5 cent of possible sunshine, 3.1, DEPARTURES FROM NORMAL.

This question of | Supply and possible future demand | im the railroad stock situation,” con- tinues ‘the ‘writer, “is of great techni- cal importance in the railroad market, and is in sharp contrast to what has taken place in the. public utility and industrial stock situations, where the Supply has greatly increased by new issues Of various kinds in recent years.

The first-named stock was an excep- tion, however, closing 1'. to the good Many stocks in which the sales on an average day run as high as 40,000 or 50,000 shares did not figure in a single transaction. Traders showed much in- terest in the bullish Government report on cotton acreage and the U. S. Steel Corporation's report on unfilled ton- nage. Although the official interést rate for call loans over the week-énd held at 4 per cent, some borrowers had Arranged théir accommodations outside as low as 3', per cent, and many au- thorities predicted that tne next few days might witness a break below 4 per cent in the official charge for the first tlme since February. The advance in many stocks was Ccar- ried on by the impetus of Friday’s push rather than because of fresh news de- velopments. With the attendance on the floor lowered by the week-end holi-| B days and a natural hesitancy on the part of bear traders to commit them- s¢lves over Sunday, the bull . pools found conditions pretty much to their liking. Houston Oil now dubbed the “mystery stock,”’ moved forward sharply to a new high level at 174!,, then drop- ped back with equal rapidity to close at 168 for a net loss on the day of 414 Most of the other oils were in supply and closed with small net losses.

Gabriel Snubbers featured the motor accessories under buying inspired by tne appearance of a careful analysis of the company’s position by one of the S-reets leading houses. Rails on the whole swung withtn a narrow range, slowing little change of importance. Impressive demand came into Nash Motors stimulated by the action of the board in ordering an extra dividend of 50 cents a share in addition to the usual quarterly payment of $1 a share. Buying was also influenced in a de- gree by the revelation that the com- panys earnings in the May quarter had held up close to those reported for that period a year ago. Foreign exchange price changes were few in a quiet market. Sterling and French francs were stationary, but lire and pesétas rose, the latter points, on renewed buying. PHILADELPHIA MARKETS.

FOR STEEL INCREASE First Gain Since December Is Reported by U. S. Corpora- tion; Held Significant. New York, July 9 (A.P.).—For the first time since December an increase in unfilled orders was reported today by the United States Steel Corporation in ite figures for the end of June. The gain, while amounting to only 2,305 tons, was regarded as significant, inas- much as a decrease of something like 150,000 tons had been generally pre- dicted. The gain probably was due to some large orders, including a substan- tial tonnage of rails, taken near the end of the month. Unfilled orders on June 30 aggregated 3,063,246 tons. The small increase compares with a decrease at the close of May of 405,191 tons. The unexpected upward trend has occasioned some predictions in Wall Street that unfilled orders over the second half of the year will tend to advance. Better buying, notably in the Chicago area, is cited as an argu- ment favoring this contention. Steel shipments in June are esti- mated at 900,000 tons, against 1,150,000 tons in May, indicating incoming busi- ness of about 900,000 tons, against about 750,000 tons in the preceding /month. ‘FINANCIAL DISTRICT CHATTERBOX George O.

Regulation Height for Mounds Seen as Necessity. By JOHN J. M’GRAW. Manager, New York Giants. EW YORK CITY, July 7.—To my N way of thinking the game of base- ball is about ripe for another change in the rules and I have two Suggestions for improvement that I'd like to offer for the consideration of the rule makers, the players and the} fans. With the situation in the two big) league races practically unchanged over | July 4, the turning point of the sea- | son, this strikes me as a good time to) offer my plan. The purpose of my suggestion of'| course, is to improve both the hitting | and the pitching and at the same time | to eliminate, as far as possible, the. element of chance. Luck of “the breaks,” as we call them, always has | been too big a factor, I think. I have considered these proposed | changes for a long time and am pr _vinced that the game would be ma-| terially benefited even if the idea is decidely radical. | In the first place, I would eliminate | the foul ball entirely as a factor in | the game, except that the first two} count as strikes. The foul strike rule | tends to speed up the game and should | be retained. In all other respects foul balis should not be considered a part of the game at all. In other words, a ball that is not hit in fair terri- tory would not be in play. Whether it was caught or not would make no difference. This, as you will see, would tighten up the game. would be lost in chasing no players would be hurt, running into the _ stands. A foul would be simply disregarded no mat-| ter where it went, and play proceed. This rule would eliminate a lot of| luck as a factor. The foul ball is never | an intentional play, and _ therefore, | should mean nothing in the game. | Every day nearly you see some batter) pop up a foul sometimes accidentally. | that is caught, right in the midst of | a@ rally. It is also the case sometimes that a) fielder will intentionally fail to catch | @ long foul so as to prevent a runner | on third from scoring. Such plays! often have an important bearing on a | ball game, when, as a matter of fact | they are accidental and not a part of| the plan of attack or defense. | For example, all questioriable plays | like that of Grabowski falling into the | dugout while Cobb and Collins scored | and the umpires were in a quandary | could be avoided. | There would no longer be any need | for the many ground rules in the parks when the stands:are at varying dis- tances from the plate. No time fouls and Revolutionary as it may sound, I feel sure that the game would be immensely improved by simply cutting the foul ball out of the rules at one stroke. Fans, I be- lieve, will agree with me that the foul ball means absolutely nothing. A base hit is a definite achieve- ment. A fielded fair ball is the result of training and study. In fact, it is not exactly fair to a batter’s average to have it affected by a foul ball that happens to be caught. Another batter may hit a half dozen fouls and have none of them caught. His average is not affected at all. There is an illustration of the part luck plays by having foul balls in play. Years ago we used to hit fouls pur- posely so as to wear down the pitchers. That trick was stopped by adopting the foul strike rule. There is no long- er any reason at all for jhe foul be- ing a part of the game. I realize that it is very difficult to make a radical change in the rules but I have hopes that this sugges- tion will be considered. Some day it may be adopted. My second suggestion, the ob- vious purpose of which is to stand- ardize pitching and particularly to develop new pitchers more rapidly, could be adopted without a change in the rules. I think the major league should ap- point a man, preferably an engineer, and if possible a former ballplayer, to make regular inspection of all the dia- monds in the different parks and see that the pitching mounds are exactly the same, both-as to elevation and distance. I venture to say that right now no two of them are the same. I doubt if the fans know how this affects pitchers, particularly young ones. Often they get in a new park and find themselves unable to get the ball high or low, and do not know the reason why. In many parks the pitcher’s mounds are built up six or eight inches higher than in others. The result is that the pitcher finds himself pitching down hill. In some parks he feels as it he were pitching out of a hole in the ground. In years gone by it was considered a smart trick to change the elevation of these mounds over night so as to worry certain pitchers. And it worked too. With a competent engineer to con- tinually inspect these elevations or depressions and standardize them the pitching, I believe, would be greatly improved. At any rate nobody would have any advantage except in natural ability. (Copyright, 1927, by Christy Walsh Syndicate.) TAKOMA AT MARLBORO, The Takoma A. C.

Competition is the life of every sports event and Huggins’ collection of fence busters has all other cities is on the wane.

Beoause of the rivalry between the | and Phila- | two teams, Washington delphia games have drawn well in the Capital City, while thousands turned out to see Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig perform when the Yankees were there. | Otherwise, the attendence has been poor at the Georgia avenue stadium.

This makes managing 'a pleasure this season for the mite leader of the “Big Towners,” but it cer- | tainly is spelling trouble for Col. Jack | Ruppert, the owner. Before long, the fans will be “fed up” on four-baggers which, after all, in many parks are merely glori- fied bunts. And when this time comes, Col.

This subject has frequently been discussed in baseball circles, one prominent official declaring that Huggins’ best “out” is to get rid of one of his home run “twins” dur- ing the off season.

Special to The Washington Post. @ HICAGO, July 9.—Baseball play- genious second guessers.’ T his, perhaps, is.the reason the White Sox right now are spending a good part of their time in conjuring up battle scenes in which they cast themselves in the thrilling enterprise of making monkeys out of Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth and other such Yankee upstarts who have been getting all the breaks and don’t know a baseball bat from an oboe. When the Sox crashed into New York on June 7 they were within one game of the Yanks and had just copped 11 out of 13 starts. Now they are 13 games behind the Hugmen. But are the Sox downhearted? They are not. Here’s the way they figure it: “The Yankee Stadium is a freak ball ) yard, the playing field planned by ar- | chitects in consultation with players under Ruppert contract. “Bob Meusel designed the left field sector with an offensive and defensive purpose. A compara- tively short distance beyond third base a row of boxes forms a cres- cent-shaped swing into the out- field. Bob and other right-handed New York batters can carom rabbit balls off that curve to the utter puzziement of visiting left field- ers, thus gaining many extra bases. On the other hand, Bob, having de- signed the device, can use the curve for his own fielding purposes, holding down the length of base hits and often getting assists. “Coach Charley O’Leary, a tricky guy, designed the bridle paths that run hither and yon. through the outfield. These dirt highways, vaguely seen by visiting outfielders racing with an effort to keep their eyes on the ground and the sky at the same time, are a tre- mendous handicap, but are more desir- able than the grass section of the out- field to those familiar with the unpar- alleled trick. “Then there’s that short right field fence near the foul line. Lou Gehriz and Babe Ruth built that contraption with their own hands, following a se- ries of surveying tests based on graphs of their hits in recent years Of course, they don’t move’ back the fence when visiting batters are at bat, but there’s no getting away from the fact that the fence slants just right for the Gehrig- Ruth type of hit, but is not adaptable - to other stances. and techniques. ers are eternal optimists and in-| “Since the Sox left New York | the, Yanks have been spending most _ of their time playing postponed and |. Other games with the Boston Red | Sox. And if there is a park in the | league that approaches the Yankee | Stadium for freakishness it is Fen- | Way Park in, Boston. So the Yanks have been at ease geo- | graphically while playing the weakest |team in major league baseball. The Yanks will leave all these mechanical | aids when they come to Chicago for a | four-game week-end series on July 21. | By that time they’ll know they’ve been | through something.”’ “No Savvy,” Yanks Reply To Trick Park Charges | Detroit, July 9—The' White Sox | players’ contention that Yankee Sta- |dium was built to order for sluggers | of the Gehrig-Ruth-Meusel-Lazzeri per- |Suasion evoked little more than ribald laughter in the Yankees’ camp tonight. Indeed, the keener-witted of the league champions insisted that. the story was | straight humor or an attempt at it and | gave the rank and file of ‘their once- | threatening rivals credit for more in- telligence than making any such claim would indicate. “Baseball is a funny business,” said Babe Ruth. “But baseball writing is funnier. I’m an author myself and I know. What the boys will do in the pinch for a rainy-day or off-day story is a caution. . ; “As for the Sox allowing the stadi- um’s layout gives us an advantage— well anybody in the game knows that’s plain hooey.” Lou Gehrig declined to argue the matter and let himself down with an unkind cut about how the Sox curl up in the pinch—alluding, of course, tu their collapse when they had a chance to take the lead away from the Rup- perters a month back. Miller Huggins pointed out that Coach Charley O'Leary wasn’t in the club’s councils when the stadium was built and that not even he, as club manager, was consulted as to the pro- portions of the playing field. Bob Meusel, after consulting the family legal adviser, authorized the correspondent to quote him as statiny “What time is it, any way?” The only comment elicited from “Poosh ’Em Up” Tony Lazzeri sounded like “no savvy,” and at a late hour this had not yet becn translated in a manner suitable for presentation in American family newspapers, ; | bn .

P.).—Bobby Jones, fighting to re- tain his British open champion- ship, is the all-absorbing center of in- terest in the classic British tourna- ment which starts here in the ancient home of golf on Monday. There are 208 other competitors, but the young Atlantan is the real golfing crusader, and if they held popularity contests in Scotland, Bobby Jones would easily be the victor. The American flag flies over his hotel as if he were a foreign ambassador, and the other buildings at St. Andrews dis- play it also as a courtesy. His picture is flashed on motion pict re screens nightly and gets spontaneous applause. After each practice round he is the eenter of a struggling mass of Scottish | bairns seeking the autograph of the great golfer—and in Scotiand there is no one greater than a great master of the ancient game Jones put the finishing touches on his practice yesterday with a round of 70, which was the record for this year’s practice until George Duncan today turned in a 69. To- morrow Jones plays at Gleneagles, and early Monday morning plays his first qualifying round on the “old course,” where the champlon- ship proper will be decided.

The national rules committee rescinded the rule, following a stormy protest by coaches throughtout the country and the decision of the professional court- men to ignore the ruling. Though the rules committee lifted the ban on the dribble for one year, the rule bids fair to become a permanent change. In view of the many changes that basketball and football have undergone since their inception, it is most interesting to stop and re- flect on the unchanging character which baseball has maintained since it has been played. This is doubly unusual, inasmuch as the other sports are constantly chang- ing in rules and mode of play. Ex- amples of these changes are the many variations in the game of football, starting with the introduction of the forward pass In 1906 and culminating in the most recent changes. Baseball was played way back in 1845, yet barring the development of the pitching end, it remains practically the same today as at the time of its inception as a major sport. At first, a straight arm pitch was the rule. Later a slight wrist snap was permitted. Then followed a throw be- GOLF AS CHAMPIONS PLAY IT THE RIGHT CLUB HAS eo What are the commonest made by golfers resulting im clubs not suited to their uses? By EDDIE LOOS, Holder of Many Course Records and Several Titles. The commonest mistake made in se- lecting a golf club of any kind 1s for the player to accept a club which is not absolutely suited to him in every particular. Whether the pro. is mak- ing the club or it is being bought ready made, today there is no excuse for clubs which ar. not exactly right. The three elements which make up a solf club are weight, length and lie. When all are right, the ciub “feels” good and the result is confidence on the part of the player. See that the length is right for your height and arms; that the weight is not too much for your strength to handle easily; that when the club is lying back of the ball it sets evenly on the ground—neither heel nor toe cocked up (the clubs are available in upright, medium and flat lies for this purpose). Then, when satisfied that these three things are right, swing the club to make sure that the balance is right. Eddie Loos (Copyright, 1927, Associated Editors, Inc.) mistakes selecting Washington will control a charter in the United States Footbail Asso- ciation, controlling body of soccer in America, it was officially learned yesterday. .A national meeting was held in St. Louis recently during which the District of Columbia ap- plication was debated at length. While the territory which the local chapter shall control was left to the decision of a committee it is authen- tically understood that it will in- clude the entire southeastern dis- trict of Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Aside from an unusually large ter- ritory for one charter holder to con- trol, the Washingten soccerists have scored a complete victory over Balti- more, which attempted to block the application, officials of the Wash- ington league declare. cites Be the hip. About 1876, pitchers learned to throw the curve ball and from then on baseball has seen little change, unless one would mention the hold and slugging the so-called “rabbit ball.” Baseball has been in vogue from 1845 to 1927, a period of 82 years, and it is still our great national game. The game is not burdened each year with new changes in an attempt to make an already inter- esting game, more _ interesting. Perhaps the fact that professional baseball dominates the sport makes for few changes. In football and basketball, where the professional side is yet in its infancy and the amateur play dominates, the various ruling bodies have almost un- limited power. The signal for a meet- ing of the rules committee each year means almost without fail several radical changes, many of which have in the past been rescinded the following While the rules passed for football this year will stand, strenuous protest was voiced from various sources, prin- 'cipally among whom were Knute Rockne, of .Notre Dame, and “Navy Bill” Ingram. Rockne charged that the rules committee was attempting to make football a silk stocking contest or a game where tackling and blocking would ultimately be eliminated. He further charged that the committee dominated by Eastern members favored similar changes as the East’s power in the sport was waning and the Western teams were invariably the winners in the intersectional clashes. ‘Helen Jacobs Drills | At Forest Hills Nets New York, July 9(A.P.).—Preparing for the grass court tennis campaign, Miss Helen Jacobs, 18-year-old Berkeley, Calif., girl, is practicing at Forest Hills. She will be there for ten days. It was only two years ago that Miss Jacobs, an expert volleyer with a fine service, began to invite comparison with Helen Wills. She engaged in an active campaign and received a ranking at No. 14 for her efforts. Last year she did not come East. A remarkable parallel is offered in the careers of Miss Wills and Miss Jacobs, so far as the latter’s has gone. Both reside in Berkeley, belong to the same tennis club, attended the same private schools, and have won the national junior championship for girls twice. Next fall Miss Jacobs will matriculate in the University of California, Miss Wills’ alma mater. Miss Jacobs’ family is now living In the house formerly oc- cupied by the Wills family.

More than this, with over 200 municipal and semipublic golf courses now established in prac- tically every State in the Union, and with all of them developing young and Skillful players, it will be difficult to keep the entry list for the national championship at Cleveland during the first week in August within reasonable limits. The qualifying scores are cer- tain to compare favorably with a na- tional amateur event. When George J. Voigt, A. L. Hough- ton, Earl] McAleer, Wm. J. Cox, John C. Shorey, Page Hufty, Harry G. Pitt and other leading public links golfers graduated into private clubs, hind other cities in its public links representation. This fear has shown to be without foundation. Both East Potomac Park and Rock Creek Park are producing golfers who give promise of ability to carry the banner of the National Capital with credit through any national public links championship. It is true that the Harding inter- city team match trophy has only been won once by a Washington team, nor has a Washington player ever won the championship, although Earl McAleer was medalist in 1924. There is every reason to believe, however, that some of the District public links golfers who are climbing the ladder of expert golf will eventually be able to win the title. The course selected for the sixth amateur links championship at Cleve- land is the Ridgewood golf links, sit- uated about 8 miles from the city, and is one of the finest in the Cleveland section Howard A. Stahl, the owner of the property and a member of the public links section of the United States Golf Association, is chair- man of the local committee and is planning to give the contestants a most enjoyable time. Free transportation between the Ho- tel Hollenden and the golf course has been provided, and a stag dinner will be one of the features of the entertain- ment. There will be innumerable prizes, while competition for the con- testants who fail to qualify will give them an opportunity to play golf even if they are out of the national event. Among the visitors in Washington 55 | last week was Charles D. Hunter, of oy | Tacoma, 7 Wash., better known as |“Chuck” Hunter, who was one of the 1% | Qualifiers in the intercollegiate cham- | pionship. He was the guest of Roland >, | Mackenzie, with whom he played on _| the Burning Tree, Chevy Chase and Columbia courses. In his first round on »* | the Columbia course he negotiated the Stes sé cir eer Aces to Aces Not Common On Golf Links By AL DEMAREE, Former Pitcher New York Giants. Holes in one are like lightning. You never can tell when and where they are going to strike. Arthur Clarkson, “pro” at the Rancho Country Club, Los Angeles, was out playing with one of his fellow members to whom he had given « handicap of a stroke a hole. Coming to the fourth hole, the mem- ber helped himself, to his endless joy, to a hole-in-one. “Gosh,” said Clarkson, scratching his head meditatively, “what have I got to do now?” “Oh,” the member answered, “you've got to shoot the hole in nothing.” A great many golfers, who have suc- ceeded in winning high honors, have never been able to score an ace. Walter Hagen and Jess Sweetser have only made one. Harry Vardon, rated by golfers the greatest exponent of the game that ever lived, had » hard time ‘ Necting hi ace. This is strange, too, when we consider that he was the most accurate performer with the irons ever known. Vardon was past 40 when he finally sank a tee shot. As he was a boy when he began to play he must have waited more than 30 years for his thrill. ; ODD FELLOWS PLAY. Alexandria, Va., July 9.—The Sarepta Odd Fellows Baseball Team will tackle the Penrose A. C. tomorrow at 3 o’clock at St. Agnes’ diamond, located in Brad- dock. Either Snellings or Wood will hurl for the locals, opposed by Quinn or Lyles. - “eighteen holes in 74 strokes, only 4 | over par, and had similar low scores on the other courses. An interesting mixed foursome, best ball, eighteen holes, was played on the course of the Chevy Chase Club last week, with nearly twenty entrants. The winners were Mrs. T. C. Kin- caid, who has returned to the city and is again playing golf, and George Wadsworth, with a best ball of 83, the runners-up being Mrs. Emery Smith and her father, Gen. P. McCain, whose card totaled de ‘ A junior amateur-professional match will be played on the course of Rolling Road Club, near Baltimore, tomorrow. The competition will be 18 holes, best ball, and will be open to all amateurs under 21 years of age. “I read with much interest,” said Louis A. Spiess, of the Indan Spring Club last week, “the comment in the golf column of The Post relative to tournament players who qualify in the fifth and sixth sixteens when they properly belong in the first or second. It is certainly discouraging to an 18- handicap player who qualifies in one of the lower sixteens with the best game of which he is capable, to find himself opposed to a golfer whose handicap is only 10 or 12. He is beaten from the start. I do not know what can be done to correct this situation but any club which can devise a sys- tem whereby all the qualifiers are on an equal basis will make itself popu- lar.” In this connection it is recalled that in one of the local spring tournaments two players qualified in the fifth sixteen. It was pre- dicted from the start that they would be winners and, sure enough, both came through to the final round and captured the winner and runner-up prizes. Frank K. Roesch, the champion of the Washington Golf and Country Club, had a fine round of 73 last week. He played sixteen holes in even par figures and was one over par on only two holes, the second and the eighteenth. In the tombstone tournament at the Bannockburn Club last week one of the competitors, Fred Byrne, hooked his ball into the forest on the left of the tenth fairway. Presently, while look- ing for the ball, he discovered that he had also lost his caddy. “Where are you, caddy? you?” he shouted. “Here I am,” voice. After wandering through the woods for several minutes the player and the caddy finally came together. It was like Stanley meeting Livingstone in the heart of Africa. Where are answered a distant “Walker,” said Byrne to the club professional when he returned to the caddy house, “I know the penalty for a lost ball, but what is the penalty for a lost caddy?” “Two strokes in medal play and the loss of the hole in match play,” replied Walker, without a smile. Incidentally, the lost ball was never found. John W. Merritt, one of the younger f Ye fact that there were over a | it was | feared Washington would fall far be- | been | eagle 2 on the seventh hole last week when his mashie shot after his drive landed the ball in the cup. In anticipation of the speedy use of the new first green on the course of the Congressional Country Club, the golf committee has issued a new edition of the score cards. The length of the first hole is given as 524 yards, instead of 633, and the par is 5 instead of 6. Eventually the present long tenth hole is also to be shortened. In the recent monthly tournament of the Typothetae at the Washington Golf and Country Club, the low gross win- ner was Frank P. Howard, with a card of 90. in Class A the low net winner was Karl VY. Eiker, 94—16—78; in Class B, F. Goebel, 95—19—76, and in Class C, J. K. Hughes, 119—30~— 59. Guy V. Norwood won a hande some pair of golf stockings by choosing the lucky number in the knickers’ handicap. The Bannockburn golfers are justiy proud of their new eleventh hole. The vee is situated at the summit of a steep declivity—so steep, in fact, that skids are almost necessary in descend- ing to the green, 162 yards below the tee. A stream has been diverted so ag to make a hazard in front of the green, so that an accurate shot is required. To play a mashie from a tee which it fully 300 feet directly above a green is a sensation afforded by no other short hole on any District course. Pitching into the cup for eagles and birdies has now become an everyday affair at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Last week when Denise Barkalow and Dave Thomson, the club pro- fessional, were playing in a four- ball match against P. W Calfee and Walter Cunningham, assistant pro- fessional at Burning Tree, Thom- son drove a distance of over 300 yards to the sixteenth green, leav- ing him an 8-foot putt for an eagle 9 ‘we Cunningham, who had almost driven the green, chipped his mashie shot inte the gup for a 2, whereupon Thomson missed his putt. On the seventh hole of the Washing- ton course, when Frank Roesch and Henry D. Nicholson were playing to- gether, Roesch chipped his ball into the cup for a birdie 3 after an over- approach of several yeards beyond the green. Did Nicholson lose the hole? Not at all. He ran down a putt for another birdie 3 from the edge of the green. Tommy Armour, the national golf champion, was the recipient at the Congressional Country Club last week of a large autographed photograph from Secretary Herbert Hoover, which he has added to the many treasures he has received since he won the title. The monthly event of the Wom. en’s District Golf Association will be played tomorrow on the Town and Country Club course. Com- petition will be a qualifying round, followed by a miniature tourna- ment. The next golf outing of the Kiwanis Club will be held on the Manor course Wednesday, with the players teeing off at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. : The deadliest club in George J. Voigt’s golf bag is a spade mashie. It is old and more or less rusty, but in Voigt’s hands it can be relied upon to land the ball on the green near the pin from any distance up to 150 yards. He plays the club with a certain feeling that it will not fail him, and when he takes it out of the bag the result of the shot can be predicted 99 times out of 100 with absolute certainty. Every golfer knows that he possesses one or two clubs which he can play with perfect confidence. Voigt’s spade ore is worth to him its weight in gold. Playing the first nine of the Indian Spring course last week, J. V. Brownell Scored a succession of 5s for the first five holes. Then he began to perform miracles, getting a birdie 2 on the sixth, a birdie 4 on the seventh, a birdie 3 on the eighth and a birdie 2 on the ninth, finishing the nine in 36, one stroke over par. It is said that this is the first time any amateur has cap- tured four consecutive birdies on the course. Dewey Zirkin, of the City Club, playing on the nine-hole Beaver Dam course last week, scored two birdie 4s on the third hole under unusual conditions. In his first round his third shot landed the ball in the rough about 30 yards to the right of the green but he pitched it irto the cup for a birdie 4. On his second round his third shot again was into the rough about 30 yards to the right of the hole and once more he pitched it into the cup for another birdie 4. Jones Subs for Londos In Bout With Stecher St. Louis, July 9 (A.P.).—Paul Jones, St. Louis grappler, has been substituted for Jimmy Londos, who was scheduled to meet Joe Stecher in a match here next Tuesday, it was announced toe. night. The substitution was made fol- lowing a threat of the Pennsylvania State commission to suspend Stecher if he wrestles Londos anywhere but in Philadelphia, Londos recently failed to appear for a bout with Stecher in the Pennsylvania city.

Ten per cent divi@tends were distributed on the two common issues in 1926 and 1927, these distributions | marking the beginning of the capital- , |ization of a surplus accumulated is former years. /t the present time, the ‘cash dividend rate on the common shares is 12 per cent or 83 per share per year. An extra cash dividend of $1 was declared in March.

Predictions were current that | eerious crop damage will appear mov the middie of July in domestic wheat | and during the last of July in Canada. weather conditions are of a kind to promote rust development. Closing quotations on wheat was un- | settled, ‘2 to % cent net higher. with corn showing % * decline to cent gain, oats 14 off to ', cent up. aa provisions ata rise of 2 to 12 cents. With reports at hand showing rather general black rust infection of the aspring crop Northwest, wheat traders took particular notice of dispatches from a leading Chicago authority who has personally observed conditions up into Canada and who wired today that he is convinced the infection will spread al) through most of Minnesota and the eastern half of the Dakotas, as well as Manitoba and southeastern | Saskatchewan. He named definite dates when probable damage will develop. but added that injury would be light if the weather were to remain cool. Somewhat rising temperatures Northwest today suggested adverse prospects for wheat, especially as black rust was reported at additional points in Manitoba. A good deal of hesita- tion, however, was shown by many traders here as to folowing price up- turns, it being admitted that current news showed bullish posstniiitise, but that actual conditions were still favor- able on the whote. Meanwhile there was said to be a better export inquiry, with some transatlantic business done on a higher basis than has_ recently been the rule, but there was also much profit-taking on advances and likewise evening of accounts to prepare for the Government crop report on Monday. Corn prices were easier, owing chiefly 4 to scattered showers and warmer tem- | erature over the Central West. Oats | rade was light, with the market keep- | ing to a narrow range of values. Brovisions refiecte indications roved demand from consumers. ash grain WHEAT—No. 2 hard, 1.51. oe -~No. 4 mixed, 1.00;.

The oldest of local mail carriers in point of service will retire next month when William 8S. Crawford, of Brent- wood, Md., walks into the Woodridge branch station from last delivery, and lays down his empty pouch, never to pick it up again. The veteran carrier has been dis- ‘tributing mail in various sections of Washington for nearly half a century. He began at the age of 19. He will reach the retirement age of 65 years on September 9. However, he expects to obtain 15 days leave, and so will retire in August, after having rounded | out 46 years of service Mr. Crawford has been distributing mail so long that only older residents of the city will be able to remember his earliest days in the service. Many local men and women whose recollec- tions of him go back to their child- hood can remember him only as one of the older carriers Nevertheless, in spite of his long service. Mr. Crawford is not old. He is robust and vigorous, and his tall, erect. figure still shows much of the hardihood of vouth Will Quit On Hour.

He reached the station just ahead of the President. He was one of the star witnesses for the prosecution in the trial that re- sulted in the hanging of Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin mere youth, Saw Garfield Shot, He eaw Garfield. accompanied by James G.

Sunday, July 10, 1927. COMING EVENTS IN MEXICO. Ambassador Sheffield’s resignation has been finally accepted by the President, to take effect upon the appointment of Mr. Sheffield’s successor. It has been well known for many months that Mr. Sheffield wished to retire. His duties in the City of Mexico have been both onerous and vexing, with no hope of a successful outcome so long as the differ- ences between the two governments were dealt with by the usual diplomatic methods. The mendacity and unreliabil- ity of the Mexican officials long ago dis- gusted Ambassador Sheffield. He was in favor of adopting drastic means to compel the Calles government to respect American rights. The Government at Washington ruled otherwise. No doubt Mr. Sheffield’s withdrawal will encourage the Calles government to persist in its stealthy attempt to confis- cate American property, and it may be- come so bold as to force the United States to act. But thus far no actual confisca- tion has taken place under the laws that became effective last January, although an American oil company has been noti- fied that it has “renounced” its title through failure to apply for a 50-year concession. The Calles government has obstructed the American companies that failed to apply for concessions before January 1, and has favored companies that did yield their titles. The obdurate concerns have found that they could not obtain drilling permits, while the con- cerns that complied with Mexican de- mands had no difficulty in obtaining per- mits. The Calles government, however, has taken care not to interfere with the extraction of oil from wells already drilled, as the tax upon this product is one of the principal sources of revenue. The shrinkage of this revenue, following interference with operations and new de- velopment, is only one of the items that point to the collapse of the Cailes regime. Customs revenues have fallen off also te such an extent that the Mexican govern- ment is hard pressed for money with which to pay the army. Unless actual confiscation of American property should occur, it seems probable that the United States will continue its policy of silence, pending a change of government in Mexico. This change must take place next year, but the popu- lar opposition to the Calles regime and the rivalry of presidential candidates may precipitate a crisis before Calles’ term expires. Control of the army is the objective of all candidates. If Gen. Gomez or Francisco Serrano appear to be gaining the upper hand it is probable that Calles will turn the army over to Gen. Obregon. Whether Obregon would then oust Calles or permit him to serve out his term might depend upon Obre- gon’s plans for obtaining recognition from the United States. If he should resort to a coup d’etat, the United States could withhold recognition, and it would do so if it followed the precedent estab- lished in the case of Gen. Emiliano Chamorro, of Nicaragua. Gen, Obregon knows that recognition by the United States is indispensable to the holding of power in Mexico. Therefore he will probably make every effort to clothe his accession to power with an appearance of regularity. Every one knows, how- ever, that he is as obnoxious to the Catholics of Mexico as Calles himself, and that in an honest election he would be defeated. Events in Mexico may take such a turn as to make it unnecessary for the United States to take the drastic steps advocated ’ by Ambassador Sheffield. The people of _ Mexico may give unmistakable proof of | their choice for the presidency. If their will should be thwarted by violence there is no reason why the United States should recognize the usurper. THE GENEVA CONFERENCE. The increasing asperity of the discus- sions at Geneva confirms the fact that fundamental differences exist between Great Britain and the United States which make it impossible to establish a satisfactory ratio of naval strength. The object of the naval conference was stated by President Coolidge to be “an agreement further limiting naval arma- ment.” This agreement is sought be- cause “the American Government and people are convinced that -competitive armaments constitute one of the most dangerous contributing causes of inter- national suspicion and discord and are calculated eventually to lead to war.” If the Geneva conference should end without an agreement and if the Ameri- can people should be convinced that Great Britain is bent upon building and maintaining a navy stronger than that of the United States, it is inevitable that “suspicion and discord” will develop, with ultimate danger of war. The aim of the United States is not to curtail the British navy or to deprive the British government of adequate means of defense. British needs in the shape of cruisers must be determined by Great Britain. What the United States seeks is an agreement that will limit the size and strength of navies, whatever the size and strength may be. The limitation having been agreed upon, the navies are not to be increased in the future; and thus there will be a halt to competitive building. This reasonable and practicable plan for removing “‘one of the most dangerous contributing causes of international sus- picion and discord” has met with deter- mined opposition on the part of the Brit- ish delegates at Geneva. Ambassador Gibson has utterly failed to obtain from the British delegates a statement show- ing what the limitations of the British navy should be. The point has been dodged again and again, and the discus- sions have been diverted into the irrele- vant question of size and gun power of cruisers. Britain suggests that smaller vessels would be cheaper, but ignores the question of total tonnage. Mr. Bridgeman, first lord of the ad- miralty, chief spokesman of the British delegation, approves of the criterion sug- gested by M. Leygues, of France, which is that each nation shall be allowed a navy in proportion to the place it has occupied for centuries. In other words, Great Britain having been mistress of the seas for centuries, she is entitled to have a navy correspondingly stronger than others. This persistent determination to retain supremacy on the sea is voiced throughout Great Britain and is un- doubtedly the mainspring of action at Geneva. Mr. Bridgeman’s reluctant and belated statement that the British gov- ernment had no idea of disputing the formula of parity of naval strength with America is made nonsense by the actions of the British delegates at Geneva. A great fact stands in the way of Brit- ain’s desire to retain supremacy of the seas. This fact is the United States. It is stronger and richer than Britain, and will not tolerate a condition of in- feriority. _It does not wish to build a navy stronger than the British fleet. It scrapped battleships that would have made the American fleet stronger than the British fleet. It now asks Britain to fix a reasonable limit of naval strength, so that neither Americans nor Britons will be disturbed by competitive naval building. Hard as it may be for Britain to face the truth and reluctant as she is to share dominion of the sea, it may be assumed that her government will endeavor to reach an agreement. The consequences of a disagreement are too full of evil por- tent to be faced. A break-up at Geneva would be the signal for an abrupt change. in the relations between the United States and Great Britain. The United States would proceed to build the strong- est navy that the world has ever known. This Nation would take its proper place as the first naval power and would main- tain it. Thus the danger of competitive naval building would be removed, but at terrible cost to Britain in national hu- miliation and loss of prestige. BLUEBEARD. The attraction that a bogus nobleman and noted swindler, now on trial in New York, still exercises over women is a mystery which women will have to ex- plain. Police records go to prove that the philanderings of the accused man in- volve him with more than 40 impression- able creatures. In each instance they in- trusted him first with their hearts and then their fortunes. He discarded the one and disappeared with the other. The man was not without principle, according to his own light. He acknowl- edges, with a considerable degree of pride, that he never hesitated in going through the wedding ceremony if- that was what his particular beloved desired. If she was gullible enough to intrust her money and jewels to him while only be- trothed to him, so much the better. The presumption would be that such a man would have the scorn of all and the sym- pathy of not a single woman. The loss of their possessions they might be able to forgive eventually, but never his betrayal of their affections. This line of reasoning does not hold good. The man’s fatal fascination clings to’ him still. Even from the dock, about which his misdeeds confront him, he ex- ercises a spell that brings one of those who knew him in happier days to his aid. She acknowledges that such are his charms that she might have married him. She announces that it is her intention to extend financial aid for his defense. If it is true that men and women are mastered by the forces of their subconscious selves, here must be an example of a Bluebeard complex indeed. JOHN DREW. The dean of the American stage as well as America’s most distinguished stage family is dead. John Drew, born to the theater, died in it as he would have wished. He was on tour when he was stricken by the illness that resulted in his death. Until almost the last hour he was a vital part of the profession which he had done so much to honor during his career of more than 50 years. There is not room to enumerate the accomplishments of John Drew as an actor. Enough here to say that every part he played added to his own distinc- tion and that of the drama. He delighted theatergoers of two generations with the character of his performances, and never once lent a hand to those who sought to lower or degrade his chosen field. Such was the measure of his suc- cess that he gave added tone to the parts in which he appeared. He will live in the history of the theater. Those who wish for its renaissance would do well to take his conduct and taste as their pattern. PERSONALITY. The annual dinner of the Rhodes trus- tees, recently held at Oxford, was made brilliant by the distinguished company assembled and by the fine quality of the addresses delivered. Among the latter, that of Lord Byng of Vimy, proposing the toast of “the Rhodes scholars,” easily took premier rank. His text was personality. Taking the position that in these days it is not easy to be of good courage because of a dearth of leaders in nearly all parts of the world, he defined a leader as one who possessed | idealism, magnetism, and the power to command. The typical leaders he select- ed were Cromwell, Washington, Na- poleon, Lincoln and, he Added, “‘perhaps, Mussolini.” Of them he said that each was brought to the front by democracy, but that, once they had attained their place, each became the finest full-blooded autocrat possible to be seen. However, it may be with the rest, Americans will ‘ never admit the truth of.that statement so far as Washington or Lincoln is con- cerned; but its truth or falsity does not affect Lord Byng’s argument. His whole point was that each of them had per- sonality, a quality which nobody has ever been able probably to define, although it is the biggest reality ever conceived. It can not be dissected; it can not be analyz- ed or reduced to its elements. The opposite to the men with person- ality are, in Lord Byng’s view, stereo- types. He explained that the man of per- sonality would read a book, think over its idea, utilize it, and then form his own ideas of what he had read. Shakespeare would be a good example of this class, al- though Lord Byng did not say so. The stereotypes, on the other hand, take tha book, word by word, sponge it up into their complexes, and then act to the very letter of it. Stereotypes, he asserted are peculiarly liable to be found in the army and among schoolmasters. Every one of experience knows how true is that indict- ment. ‘The conclusion of Lord Byng’s speech was an earnest appeal to every Rhodes scholar to keep his personality and go forth from the groves of Academe inte the wider arena of life, not as a stereo- type, but as a man with ideals of leader- ship and the power to get other people to follow him. Even Rhodes scholars have their limi- Vig4 qt Les | lad STF: Ai —<—$—$———— ana AH dct AN WY. fl re == NAY eee LE, < 4 2 ad Uf.

Some of them, however, do possess these qualities, and it is part of wisdom to encourage those so endowed to develop their gifts. It is good for them and it is good for the world at large. The wonder is that institutions | of the higher learning insist so earnestly and | scholars rather than leaders. so on producing Character is greater than learning and personality often transcends both. It will be well not only for Oxford but also for univer- sities everywhere to take Lord Byng’s pronouncement to heart, get a new orien- tation on their functions, and give seri- ous thought to the development of per- sonality and those powers of leadership, for the lack of which humanity is in this age suffering as it has scarcely ever suf- fered before. perseveringly ITALY’S LABOR COURT. Some time ago Premier Mussolini an- nounced his intention to establish special courts to settle all disputes arising he- tween capital and labor. Last week the first of these tribunals held its inaugural sitting. The case in question concerned wages paid by the confederation of agri- culturists to members of the Federation of rice cleaners. Wages were fixed by a ‘contract dated last March, and began to be applied in June. Not long thereafter the agriculturists attempted to force the workers to accept salary reductions, which they refused, appealing to the la- bor court. They argued that their wages were as low as any in agriculture and that they could not accept any reduction. The agriculturists maintained that the revaluation of the lira made it impossible to maintain the present wage level. After making several attempts to effect a con- ciliation, all of which were rejected, the presiding magistrate appointed two ex- perts to investigate the difficulties and report to the court at a later date, when the hearings will be resumed. The Italian labor court smacks some- what of the arbitration agreements con- tained in many American labor contracts, save that it adds the power of the state to that of mutual agreement. Mussolini has added no new note in industrial man- agement by inferring that strikes and lockouts are costly matters, and that. every effort should be made to prevent them without interfering with the wheels of production. It is rather un- usual, however, to have the state itself sit as supreme authority in labor dis- putes. The American Federation of Labor surely does not look with favor upon the labor court. While it recognizes the wisdom of arbitration agreements, and ' : attempts to prevent strikes whenever | -4 possible, still it would be fearful of a court created as the final voice in labor disputes. American capital and industry, too, would not accept such an institution. Business, so long as it is lawful and conducted in accord with the law, looks upon itself as being separate from gov- ernment, and it would not permit the latter to inject itself into the purely private matter of labor or wage differ- ences. Mussolini, however, does not care what labor or capital may think. His philoso- phy contemplates the state as above all. Capital, labor, the individual, all are sub- servient to the state, all may exist only to serve the state. To America, his is a radical doctrine, one which, however, is well worth watching. The labor court may function well in Italy, which ap- parently has accepted other innovations | far more consequential. THE MOTION-PICTURE MONOPOLY. The Federal Trade Commission has subjected itself to much _ eriticism through its alleged interference in the conduct of various lines of business, but in deciding that the Famous Players- Lasky Corporation violates the antitrust laws, and in ordering that organization to cease and desist from the practices~ which have brought so much discredit and criticism upon the moving-picture industry, the commission has performed a public service that can not be otherwise than satisfactory to owners and patrons alike. The order prohibits the corporation and the individual defendants from con- tinuing the combination ‘‘to lessen com- petition and restrain trade in interstate and foreign commerce in the production, distribution and exhibition of motion- picture films; from the practice of block- booking, i. e., leasing films in a block or group and compelling the picture house which shows the films to take all pictures in the group or block, or none at all, without regard to the character of the pictures or the wishes of the picture house; and from acquiring or threaten- ing to acquire theaters for the purpose of intimidating or coercing an exhibitor of films to book and exhibit films of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation.” The commission in its findings shows to what an extent the respondents con- trol the moving-picture industry. June 30, 1926, it is shown that the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation had an interest in no less than 368 theaters, of which in 128 they owned 100 per cent, On | in 13 theaters more than 50 per cent, in | 128 theater 50 per cent, and in 99 such | establishments less than 50 per cent. | Concerning the “block bookings” the commission reports that the purpose and necessary effect of such distribution pol- icy is to lessen competition and to tend to create a monopoly in the motion-pic- ture industry, tending to exclude from the market and the industry small in- dependent producers and distributors of films, and denying to exhibitors freedom of choice in leasing films. RADIO AND NAVIGATION. Perhaps one of the most important uses for the radio is that which is to be used by the maritime nations of the world for the purpose of improving their time observations. Longitude and latitude are the two divisions of the earth and the oceans upon which all navigation is based. Lati- tude can readily be worked out by the | navigator because there is no difference | in distance between degrees. Equator to the North Pole there are ex- From:the actly 90 degrees, and each parallel is separated 60 miles from the next higher or lower, as the case may be, so that a navigator who is 10 degrees north of the Equator knows that he is exactly 600 miles toward the pole from that imaginary line. Longitudinal degrees, on the other hand, are 60 miles apart at the Equator, which distance gradually diminishes as the poles are approached, until all of the 360 degrees. meet there. Longitude is based upon the time as shown at the observatory at Greenwich, “England, and all chronometers are set at Greenwich time as the base of all longi- tudinal reckoning. , The longitudinal difference between two points is the difference in the local sidereal times of those two points, Therefore, the.very best method of de- termining the longitude of a ship at sea, for instance, is to note the difference of time at exactly the same instant, and this is what it is hoped to accomplish through the radio. In the old days of the sailing vessel, when the only means of communication between two craft at sea was by flags of the international code, the skipper of one such ship upon sight- ing another invariably flew up the signals which asked the question, “What is your longitude?” Today, with the radio, he has only to ask, “What time is it by your chronometer?” and upon receipt of the reply to that question he can work out his own location. The radio may yet take the place of the sextant and the quadrant in the chartroom of the vessel © of the future. ‘ Join the Marines and learn to use chop- sticks, : ; , ~ tiie di we ~ ,

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Some years ago, under a nom de plume that some would probably still recognize, I achieved some small fame as a writer on fishing, hunting and game conser- vatio : topics. Some of the reforms I advocated were smaller game bags, shorter open seasons on game and fish, discontinuance of selling game in pub- lic markets and no Sunday hunting or fishing. Following the lead of “Coquina,” George O. Shields, I roasted the fish and game “hogs;” though Brother Shields in his magazine, the old Recre- ation, far surpassed me as a barbecuer of these greedy, selfish animals. He used to flay them and roast them to a turn. I should like to pay tribute here to that fine, altruistic man, who ought to be better known than he is. He be- longs to that small band of. choice spirits of whom the poet sings: “Only the actions of the just Smell sweet, and blossom in their dust.” Of late years I have not followed the trend of fish and game matters very closely, but I understand that condi- tions in this field are much better than they used to be. They could not be much worse than they used to be. There are still fish and game “hogs,” and there is still plenty of work for legislators to do’in passing wise game and fish laws, and a need for faithful, energetic game wardens to enforce such laws properly the ehief need as regards tion is a multiplication of sanctuaries There is not s0 much need for fish sanctuaries, for fish hatcheries take their glace. But when the game is gone, it is gone forever. A special commission of experienced, picked game conservationists should be appointed by the Federal Government to make a thorough, intensive study of game conditions throughout the United States, and perhaps in Alaska also, with a view toward increasing the stocks of game. Special attention and study should be given to the woodcock, for the supplies of this fine game bird are sadly depleted. There should be per- manent closed seasons on the Rocky Mountain sheep, the wild turkey and certain other species. Perhaps it is not too late to save Our vanishing species But drastic measures must be taken to save them from extinction. Let us have no more such shameful chapters in our history as recount the slaughter and total ex- tinction of the passenger pigeon, whose flight once darkened the heavens .and whose multitudes broke the limbs of ithe forest trees upon which they rested. Let us have no more such blots on our escutcheon, and such -national dis- Praces as this There should be still further short- €«nings of the open seasons on game and fish and further Imitations on the size of game bags. A cilvilized American is not a wild Indian, that he has to depend upon game and fish for food. The chief value of hunting and fishing is the outdoor exercise and recreation to be gained from these pur- suits. A limited bag, just large enough to afford a sense of successful attain- ment and of the rewards of the chase, should satisfy any hunter or angler. Fishing and hunting are not sports, | A man should | not seek to become too proficient in| Herbert Spencer’s rebuke of aj} but forms of recreation. them. skiliful young billiard player applies also to the overexpert hunter or angler, “Young man, to play a good game of billiards is one of the marks of the well-rounded education of a gentle- man. But to play too good a game of billiards is a sign of a misspent life.” | CHARLES HOOPER.

Prince Georges County, a total of 4,- 867. Anne Arundel County came next with 4,674, with 4,424. Of the number in Anne Arundel County, 2,999 negroes lived on owned farms. There were 18,423 tenant negro farmers in the State of Maryland, 2,919 being found in Prince Georges County. Of the adult negro farm population, 18,782 were men and 16,257 women. There were 13,279 negro children under 10 years of age. In Allegany County only three negroes were. registered on farms. and in Garrett County only 21.

E. A. is a Virginia Junior High School woman principal. These three qualifi- cations are worthy of note. The educational system of our coun- try has evolved from two streams—that of Cavalier Virginia and Puritan Massa- chusetts. As the South bore the brunt of the Civil War, it has become a habit to think of the South as being back- ward in matters of education. In spite of the many drawbacks, it might be well to recall that a Southern president—a Virginian—Thomas Jefferson was the chief sponsor of the public school sys- tem at the time that “free schools” were not considered desirables. Thomas Jef- ferson really placed the Washington City system on a respectable founda- tion. He gave nearly half of the money required to make the beginning of the systenr possible. The second college in the United States, William and Mary, was founded in Virginia before the Piedmont wilderness was cleared. The first college for women was founded in Georgia by people of Virginian descent. If we should take the separate educa- tional systems of the various States, we would find some influence of the South carrying on even during the Civil War period. The South has done more to try to place the negro in a way to work out rather than questionable charity. There are three universities for the colored people—strictly for them—with the whole curriculum devoted to the inter- ests of that race. Two are in Nashville, Tenn., Fisk Uni- versity and Roger Williams, and one is in Washington, Howard University. Richmond, Va., has a colored college whose work is historic. Booker T. Washington's Alabama industrial school ‘has done unparalleled work. So we find Virginia still able to carry on her traditions. At one time a woman principal was considered an impossibil- ity. Then we find women taking hold and disproving that antedeluvian the- ory. For years Junior High schools were regarded as a questionable proposition. | While those in Washington are still re- |garded as experimental, Virginia has | been proving unquestionably that the |junior high school is a success. For | oe years the Virginia junior high 'schools have been visited by people from all over the United States and from foreign countries, all interested in their methods. | It is a matter of pleasant considera- | tion that a woman principal of a junior 'high school from a region that in spite | of great hardships has kept apace and at the head of every modern movement | of education should be chosen presi- 'dent of the National Education Asso- ciation. A VIRGINIAN. his own destiny with constructive help “Dr. Abernethy Knows Better,” Says Rear Admiral Kimball. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: In his 3d of July sermon Dr. Abernethy, of the Calvary Baptist Church, pro- claimed “No person can rightly) call himself a patriot who takes to himself the right to choose which laws he shall obey and which violate.” This statement is an axiomatic and more than self-evident truth, but it was made in the course of a defense of sneaking snooping and was intended to intimate and did intimate that all laws of attempted prohibition could be and should be obeyed. Dr. Abernethy knows that no patriot or enforcement officer or parson or any one else can obey the prohibition laws, because sOme prohibition laws can be obeyed only by violating other prohibi- tion laws. He also knows that it is the civic duty of every patriotic American, while obeying all laws so far as those laws make obediemce possible, to oppose in every constitutional and legal way all laws that are, in the opinion of that patriotic American, immoral, stupid, impossible and harmful. to the body politic. Dr. Abernethy knows that the basic principles of our Government require the legal opposition and legal overthrow of immoral and impossible laws by the legal action of patriotic Americans. He knows that immoral and evil laws must be legally opposed to the point where they become intolerable and where loyal and patriotic Americans must resort to the God-given right of revolution with its accompanying privi- lege of being shot or hung, if the revo- lution does not revolute to the point where one must: “Incite each other to riot, revolt and win, because We must overthrow laws oppression we have made the laws.” But Dr. Aberenthy and prohibition- ists of his ilk can not incite the people to the point of revolt, no matter how much they try. They know better and would not futilely contiue to make the attempt if they thought of what they were attempting. The logic of events has indubitably proved that prohibitionists can not think, for if they could think they could not be prohibitionists, but pro- hibitionists can feel great emotions, and it is a pity that these emotions do not prevent the bearing of false wit- ness in the House of the Lord W. W. KIMBALL. Old Brick, Paris, Me., July 5. Why a Trip to the Pole? To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Com- mander Byrd, so the papers say, con- templates a flight to the South Pole. Why? The South Pole has been visited, and at least four men claim to have paid a similar visit to the North Pole. Has anything for the knowledge of the world been aecomplished? Peary stayed only an hour or two; two flights have been made over the pole, yet not a contribution to science or to knowledge has been obtained.

N. F. SOUTH. Aviators Our Best Politicians. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: When Congress convenes again it will find our international interests in surpris- ingly satisfastory condition, thanks to our aviators! Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd have about completed the job of patching up and then cementing our relations with our French cousins. Everything is now ready, it would seem, for the American Legion to make their first postwar visit to the country where they and their comrades astonished the world by courage and efficient sol- diership and won the admiration not only of the French but of the whole world. Once again we may feel and see that cordial relationship between the United States and the land of Lafayette. But what a commentary on the stu- pidity of the average politician, even when he calls himself a statesman. The three young airmen who recently dropped down upon French soil and by their manner and words showed their unmistakable appreciation of the French people have done in a few weeks what politicians could not do in years. Lindbergh’s courage and mod- esty; Chamberlin’s sanity and good humor; then Byrd’s unparalleled fine- ness and Southern heart have made the cup of France overflow with de- lightful expressions of admiration for them and the country they represent. So it happens that these men have done more for international relations than they have done even for the cause of air navigation, stupendous as is the latter service. Our more intelli- gent people, though they are outnum- bered by the masses who quickly re- spond to the cry of “America for Ameri- cans,” have been much pained during recent years by the growing alienation and suspicion which have separated us from countries with which we stood in the greatest war of all history. If this bettering of our almost shat- tered international relations which has come of our courageous and fine-spirit- ed airmen will turn out to be “Coolidge luck” and place him once more in the Presidency, I, as a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, will €ven rejoice in that. If this reproach of the Untied States is rolled away and we are again in per- fectly cordial relations with our com- |rades and their families on the other side of the Atlantic, it does not matter ' } | } ! 20 Buses Will Carry Kann) two periods of general swimming for | and women and young people of high | who did it or gets the credit for it.

Sultette “Pueyrredon 3 CHOES {| he Black Hills tell us of gayeties there the Fourth of July in celebration President venture f! fifty-fifth anniversary of ’s birth, and it is safe to assertion that he has observed his natal day farther West than any other President in our history. Mrs. Coolidge was the moving spirit of all the fun and planned many pleasant surprises for her distinguished husband. Telegrams and gifts are said to have poured in on him from many lands and States’ and the happy fisherman President of the Black Hills must have enjoyed the day, free from many of the restraints of his high office and filled to over- flowing with the felicitations of his friends and admirers. Judging from the progress being made on the White House repairs there is every indi- cation that shortly after their return here the President and Mrs. Coolidge will be able to resume their residence at 1600 Pennsyl- vania avenue, spick and span in glistening white paint and with many innovations and renovations about the historic mansion. * = ~ - ROM time to time there has been a plan F projected to build a new White House, one more adapted in space and convenience to the needs of a Chief Executive than the pres- ent one, which dates back to the founding of the City of Washington. But these plans do not materialize into action, largely because the people of the country entertain a real af- fection for the present White House with its hosts of memories of the distinguished men and women who have lived within its shel- tering walls. Naturally, in the course o2 time, there will be a new White House built, but the recent repairs will do much to post- pone that day still further into the future. There is a charm and a homelike atmosphere about the American Executive Mansion hard to find in palaces pf the Old World, and that very fact should delay its abandonment for a new edifice as long as possible. The President’s house on Dupont circle has admirably served the purpose of a temporary White House. It gave the proper amount of seclusion for the President and Mrs. Cool- idge and yet was splendidly adapted to such entertainment as they cared to offer during the months in which they have lived on the _—— - - eee * HARIKIS- EWING ——_— ee Pons Cillian “Waters Grosvernor, ewhose en- gagement to “Tl: Cabot Coville har been announced celebrated circle, for generations the heart of the fashionable Northwest.

Yet there is a surprising number of social notables in Washington for midsummer. The cool weather is, in part, of course, responsible for this fact, but then the business of government politics, diplo- macy or finance necessitates occasional trips to the Capital even on the part of the most vacationing groups. It reads like a page from the days cf sprightly Betty Washington Lewis to learn that invitations are out for a “‘tea at Ken- more,”’ the stately Frederickburg home of this dearly beloved sister of the great George Washington, happily restored by the efforts HAN PRIS - of the faithful women of that town to its former beauty and dignity as a quaint colonial home. These Saturday.teas at Ken- more are quite the most popular events of the week for miles around Frederickburg and many Washingtonians have cultivated the habit of motoring there to attend them. The ladies of the Kenmore Association are hostesses for the teas, and the charm of a summer afternoon on the historic estate is most appealing. . ° . HE younger married set is greatly pleased with the report that Mr, and Mrs. David Estes Bruce, ‘son-in-law and daughter of Secretary of the Treasury Mel- lon, will spend next season in Washington. Mr. Bruce, who has been American Vice Consul at Rome, has resigned from that post because of the ill health of Mrs. Bruce, who has not been well since she left her native land, As Miss Ailsa Mellon Mrs. Bruce was one of the most fascinating and interesting of debutantes and has a wide circle of friends here, all of which will rejoice at her return to Washington. Just now the Bruces are on a yachting cruise with Secretary Mellon in the Mediterranean. Even in midsummer the wedding bells merrily ring out and Washington is enter- tained with reports of marriages of those connected in some wavy with the Capital which have occurred or are to be in the near future who are now in other cities. The engagement of Mrs. Etelka Sartees Bell, widow of Mr. Edward Bell, of New York, formerly American Charge d’Affaires in Pe- king, interests many friends here, and at the wedding ceremony in London of Miss Tlatilda Houghton, daughter of the Ameri- can Ambassador to Great Britain, and Mrs. Alanson B.

Weddings of Intorast water, practically all of them have in- stallled al fresco swimming pools, The long trek by automobile, which is the favorite pastime of the diplomatic set, has also been adopted by Ameri- cans who wish to see thelr country first. Many parents are making the “going to camp” of their boys and girls —this is the favorite summer recre- ation of the sons and daughters of the rich as well as those in moderate cir- cumstances—an excuse for an auto- mobile tour through the country and a taste of the camp life iteelf. Many a debutante of next season or the season just past is resting up from her pleasures of the past or those to come at some sylvan resort where she may read in the qulet of the woods, swim, fish and walk to her heart’s con- tent. Since so many women and girls divide their time between serious work and social duties it has become more and more the custom to use the summer months for real rest, or at least part of it for that purpose. However, the news from seaside and mountain resorts are replete with re- citals of the dinners and luncheons and picnics and dances those who make Washington gay in the winter are in- dulging in at these places. Since the paths to Europe have been a well broken in recent years much interest centers about the news which filters back via the press, the pictorials and letters of gay little get-together parties of wandering Americans in many corners of the world. Vice President and Mrs. Charles G. Dawes, who have been in Chicago, will start for a two weeks’ fishing trip in northwestern New Mexico. The Secretary of War.

Various methods of diséarding nave been suggested, but the weakness dis- card meets every possible requirement when coupled with the discard signa’ The strength di&card may force player to part with an important «ard: the “rotary discard’’ and the “odd and even discard” are systems which work nicely | in some hands, but more frequenily | prove embarrassing and, on the whole, | are losing methods of discarding. Many | | other freak systems have been weighed | in the balance and found wanting. The signal in the discard, like the | signal in following suit described last week, is made by playing first a higher | and then a lower card of the suit the |lead of which is requested. A player | discarding first the Four and next the | Six of a suit, for example, would show | weakness in that suit; but the reverse |'—discarding first the Six and then the | | Four—would be a signal by discard di- '€nce a prefence for | which no discard has been made. recting partner to lead that suit as soon as able to do so. An objection to signaling in the dis- card is that it necessarily shortens the suit. This can be avoided when it is possible to discard obviously the lowest card from each of two other suits, thereby indicating by negative infer- the suit from Al | discard of what must be the lowest of | the suit held by the weakness in that suit. discarder shows It negatives all | possibili f t where Ensign Allen has been assigned | P saibiity of @ signal and by itself transmits important information.

If two discards can be afforded, the double discard from the long suit is A One-Card Signal. Where a player has the opportunity to make but one discard (for example discard is being made is being won by the part- ner who probably will lose the lead im- mediately), it obviously is impossible to make two discards, one from each of the other suits; and, as a single discard would denote weakness unless some method were devised to give it the op- posite meaning, a generally recognized the discarder has had no opportunity for another discard in that suit, the partner should assume that the dis- card is not the discarder’s lowest, that a signal is intended and that the suit should be led. The discard of a Trey followed by a Deuce of the same suit is just as much a signal as the discard of an Eight fol- lowed by a Deuce; but the discard of the Trey does not look like the start of a signal to the partner, who will infer, until the signal is completed, that the discarder is showing weakness. The discard (at the first opportunity) of a Seven or higher card, however, is a con- ventional earmark of a signal, and the partner is authorized to act accordingly. This being the case, a discarding in- formation; such information as 9-8-7 in a suit which he does not desire to have led, should be careful not to dis- card the Seven if it be possible that his partner will obtain the lead before he has the opportunity to discard the Eight. The discard of a Seven or high- er card followed by a still higher dis- card is not a signal; but if the partner must lead after seeing the first discard only, he would have to consider it to be a signal. When the Declarer is in absolute con- trol of the situation and it seems as- sured that he will be in the lead for a considerable number of tricks, it is not always wise for the adversaries to give too much discard information; such in- formation may be of more value to the Declarer than to the discarder’s part- ner. At times a bluff discard, showing strength where it does not exist, may be effective; but this is a dangerous ex- pedient, not to be used except when it surely will not deceive the partner. Even in such cases and with that dan- ger, it often is expedient to show strength so as to aid the partner in ET | his discard by showing him which sult he should protect. (Coppzight, 1927.) | D. A.

J., ‘‘but it | must match the complexion in tex- | ture and coloring so as to seem a part of it! That’s just what Black | and White Face Powder does! It’s | as soft and fine as a baby’s cheek | and lends this texture to whatever skin it touches. The tints are true | flesh tones, and it’s easy to find one that blends with your skin to bring | out the best in it and in your fea-| tures.” By VILLA POE WILSON. FE tesn: the cape upon the stage of fashion. This garment is one of the most ancient in the history of clothes and it has flourished in many forms, in many climes. For a decade it has been more con- spicuous by its absence than by its presence and the Navy was the court of last resort for the cape. There smart looking officers added the last touch of chic with a snappy looking cape made regulation fashion, which (this is entre nous) made a splendid mantle for the admiral’s wife, daugh- ter, sister or other feminine relative when it has outworn its usefulness in his official wardrobe. But now the cape is with us once again and it threatens to be the vogue this fall and winter. As yet, it is the short cape, elbow length, which is most in style but winter will probably bring in the long cape. The cape is a difficult garment for the woman of any but a good figure to wear. For the woman who is watch- ing her weight it is almost anathema, the only exception being when it is exceptionally well made when milady of avoirdupois may wear it with se- curity. Of course, with the advent of *he cape, its little sister, the cape collar is also to be noted among the fall modes. The cape collar also has a long and honorable history and the Puritan cape beloved of the Pilgrim mothers is one of the happy variations of it. It is impossible to speak of clothes for the fall without thinking of coats. Those behind the scenes where fashion modes are being evolved say that the coat silhouette for fall and winter will be very straight with the slightly flar- ing line in front. One of the distinguish- ing marks of the modish coat will be a great deal of inset fabric work and seaming and lavish fur trimm*éng. There seems to be an inclination to use handsome pelts of real fur rather than the many dyed imitations which have been utilized by even the best houses for a number of years. Washington women who have taken kindly to loose short coats of the same materials for wear with evening dresses write that they are bringing home a supply of these garments from over seas, as this garment has won a high place in the affections of the women of the world. Another innovation is that of very wide long scarfs made # the same material as the evening gown, | warmly interlined and with one side | trimmed with fur or feathers, a wel- | come relief from the sameness of shawls. Dolls Now Women’s Rage. Dolls are the rage with adults nowa- days, and little girls might well sign a protest against this infringement .of their vested rights. The doll fad has reached such proportions that some women even spend much time and money over the various costumes for their playthings and are having cos- tumes to match their own gowns made for the dolls. The doll makers are do- ing a thriving business generally, and the clever artisans who can make dolls to resemble their owners are well on the road to wealth. Women who do not carry dolls as a rule compromise on some kind of a stuffed pet, a pink poodle, a woolly white bear to carry with a white costume, or grimacing monkey. These toy animals are made to slip neatly over the hand and in this way they can be easily. car- ried. Dolls and pets of all kinds are the special delight of the 1927 bathing girl. They not only add up-to-dateness to her bathing togs but serve as receptacles for such articles as vanity fmplements, while even knitting and sewing may be concealed in the skirts of the dolls or in the baglike interiors of the animals. Dolls as playthings are as ancient as womankind itself. In the findings of archeologists the doll has generally fig- ured, and sometimes the little figures have told a graphic story of the cus- toms, habits, and even the religion of those people of a far yesterday. Fall Styles Now Discussed. No sooner are the summer styles more or less defined and their first interest taken off for the women of the world than there is a general straining of the mental eyes toward the fashions of fall. Those of us who have been allowed a glimpse into the workshops, of the world where men and girls and women spend the long sultry hours of sum- mer working on designs and garments for wear in the chilly days of fall and winter have discovered that a new flare will be introduced in the fall and winter garments. This is not the godet effect, by any means, but is obtained by cutting the skirts on the sides or the front on the | bias and insetting circular pieces or pleats. Just to prove how contrary fashion’s fancy is, the short sleeve which has been advanced by many leading houses this summer will have its peak of popularity, it is predicted, in the win- ter months. But for the autumn street wear the long tight sleeve and the full sleeve caught at the wrist will remain the smartest for town wear this autumn. From the capitals of the world as well as from American summer resorts | comes the news of Washington women Smart women everywhere use| more than 15 million packages a vear of this dainty face powder and the other Black and White Beauty Creations, such as the Cold Cream, Beauty Bleach, Cleansing Cream, come Best results from using ck and White Skin Soap along .the Black and White Beauty cutions. } who are holding their own, sartorially speaking, as well as in other ways. The old idea of the sport clothes for vacationing as all-sufficient for the de- mands of the summer season has quite disappeared and elaborate wardrobes have featured many holiday makers’ outfits for pleasure journeys. Those who visit the Old World and its | noted fashion centers manage to in- | clude new costumes of various kinds in their shopping lists. So the luggage on the return voyage is apt to be even larger than that taken abroad’ much to the discomfort of the masculine por- tion of a household.

The interest in necklines and the length of the skirts for the fall is ap- parent even this early in the summer, and most of the women who provide for the early fall festivities while they are on their summer travels are, we are told, showing a decided impartiality over the V neckline, the square neck- line and the high round neckline for daytime wear, while for evening they are partial to the wide, round and V- Shaped necklines. The skirts will remain short, it is Said, except for a few instances in eve- ning gowns that dip in the back and, of course, the period gowns and robes de style adopted by the younger gen- eration ard especially the debutantes. Like the large hat which the women of other countries have adopted from us, the long-skirted formal gown for the young girl is a successful fashion which had its inception, or at least its support, in America. While the Eu- ropean fashion centers give us much, it ntust be remembered that the Ameri- can woman has contributed toward the smart fashions of the continent the chic tailored and boyish suits and the large hat and the tailored blouse. The styles of fall will take their color note from nature, for there will be many rusty greens and the dull reds of the autumn leaves intermingled with blue, which will maintain its summer popularity. Gray will also be important in the scheme of fashion, especially those of blue gray, pearl, mauve and taupe shades. Important, too, will be velvet for the fall costumes, and in this can be included the entire velvet family, chif- fon velvet, velveteen plush, hatter’s plush and corduroy. ; Black Chiffon Seen.

This may be the addition of a bow or series of bows, and the happy ar- rangement of a jabot or series of jabots, the swinging of a cape from the shoul- der, tying a delectable apron trimming across the front of the skirt or the ad- dition of a tier or two to make fuller but not widen the skirt. These features are often additional in reality or even interchangeable to a gown itself. They are plain, but sub- ject to the embellishment of the afore- mentioned accessories which may, of course, be of the same material, but more frequently are qiute independent of lace or embroidery, finely tucked or trimmed organdies or other filmy mate- rial. Now, the well-dressed woman owns any number of crisp, fresh collar and cuffs sets, so she may Own capes and jabot, and bows—to be worn with her different frocks. Some of the capes are really bertha- like arrangements of lace, which tie in the front and can be worn with any dress or have a hole for th: head and are as much a cape in the front as they are in the back. Jabots Are Popular. The jabots are of every variety from dotted silk, coming in pairs for the bodice and the skirt, or with a soft collar attachment and cuffs to match. Some of these sets even have the soft girdle fastened on the side with a jabot and to match the jabot and cuffs for the bodice. The vogue for detachable trimming has even invaded the realm of the tiered skirt and there are any number of sets of capes with tiers to match at- tached to a soft girdle which can be put on over a plain dress with very good effective. It is possible to wear these capes with long hanging ends, back and front, and the accompanying girdle’ and tiered skirt over a plain, handsome costume slip and call it a costume, The bow still is elbowing the shoulder and hip flowers for first place. There is one great advantage in using velvet or satin ribbon or metal material for the ornaments as it can be purchased by the yard at the same time as the costume to exactly match it and made into perky little effects of exactly the right size to suit the time and place. This rage for changing accessories has also reached the headgear and some of the milliners are putting on the single flat flower or bow by means of clasps which means that the trim- ming can be changed in a second with- out trouble.

Paris Children Build Lindbergh Airplanes Paris, July 9 (By A. P.).—Lindbergh has changed the course of life for Paris children. They are building air- planes. Their great summer sport has long been sailing boats, chiefly on the fountain basins of the Luxemburg and Tuilleries Gardens. Big and little boys and even the girls make trips to Le Bourget Air Field now to get ideas for designs and to worship the big ma- chines that remind them of their American air hero. Airplanes are in the toy store win- dows. Airplane kites are having a new vogue. The really chic thing, however, is to build a plane with a twisted rub- ber to turn the propeller shaft, and the Spirit of St. Louis and NX 211 scrawled over it. George Bernard Shaw Quits Adelphi Terrace London, July 9 (By A. P.).—Adelphi Terrace is disconsolate. George Bernard Shaw, who occupiéd No. 10 for the last 20 years, is to take a flat in Whitehall Court, which was formerly in the pos- session of the Countess Russell, author of “Elizabeth and Her German Gar- en.” Although Shaw willl leave Sir James M. Barrie on Adelphi Terrace, he will have literary celebrities as near neigh- bors in his new flat. Among them are St. John Irvine, H. G. Wells, Sir Gilbert Parker and Sir Owen Seaman, editor of Punch. London Demolishes An Ancient Chapel London, July 9 (By A. P.).—Another link with ancient London has disap- peared. The old chapel of the Scot- tish Corporation in Fleur-de-lys Court, Fetter Lane, has been demolished. The Scottish Corporation was a/| charitable institution founded in 1613 | to give help to London Scots tempo- | rarily “down and out.” It received its charter during the great plague of ises 55 years ago. King, in Beige Topper, Sets Ascot Fashion Ascot, England, July 9 (A.P.).—The Royal Ascot racing classic still is the stage On which Englishmen demon- strate to the world the art of wearing morning clothes.

The outer fold is considerably deeper than the inner, and the opening in the front is well cut away, permitting greater space for the knot of the tile. # further feature was the number of men wearing lavender gray in necktie, waistcoat or gloves. King George chose all three articles in different tones of this sha‘e. White top hats far outnumbered black and were worn by the "ounger set of men, led by Prince Henry.

NO. 41. THE WASHINGTON REALTOR Published Every Sunday by the Washington Real Estate Board James P. Schick, Executive Secretary Editor Widening Horizons for Realtors An architect’s sketch of a building has meaning. A photograph of the same structure has a meaning that no advance drawing could have. Back in 1923 there appeared in this magazine a news story ofa national conference in Madison, Wis., April 20 and 21, hailed then as epochal, at which was visioned and outlined a structure which has become real estate education. The magazine is glad to give its leading position in this issue to another picture of real estate education. This time the picture is not an architectural sketch. It is accurately and objectively photographic. Since that April meeting of four years ago there has been much talk among real estate men, much anticipation of what the new courses in real estate, where they were proposed, could mean. The tables here given are the result of a careful check by letter of exactly what has this year been done in real estate education, first under the auspices of real astate boards and second in the regular courses of universities and tolleges. The lists are documentation for all that has ever been said as to the possibilities for the business of real estate in its great movement toward a substantial educational foundation. No realtor can look unmoved at the list of colleges and universitics here given, or realize, without a feeling of widening horizons, what it means to have them concern themselves with land problems. No educator, with such a list before him, can any longer consider the field of real estate one which is untried, or shallow. For the real estate board the most interesting part of the story is that of what other real estate boards are successfully doing. Only some half dozen universi- ties or colleges at present may be said to have, either in fact or in im- mediate expectation, anything like a complete graduate or undergradu- ate course in real estate, but side by side with the institutions which are already deeply concerned with real estate problems there are in the present list some 45 or 46 institutions of first character which have only begun work in land economics. The most hopeful phase of the growing conception of real estate as a career requiring specialized training is the fact that this conception has from its inception been jointly developed by the educational institutions of the country and the Natonal Association of Real Estate Boards. From the time when the first conference of national scope was called to bring together the educators of the country and representatives of the business of real estate, there has been a constant interflow of com- munication between the universities and schools and the central realtor body. There is a promising close working relationship between real estate boards and State real estate associations and the leading educa- tional institutions undertaking a study of real estate. When real estate education comes to be developed, as it may now be seen that it will be developed, that development will be purely practicable because of this interflow. The picture, as from the photographic lens which can now be given of the real estate educational movement, has one great meaning. The movement has reached a point where its continuance is assured. Prob- ably no temporary wave of indifference on the part of real estate boards or real estate men could mean any appreciable lessening of the momen- tum they have now given it. But*there will be no indifference; there will be intensification. duct successfully a course in real estate fundamentals must see that it is strong enough to go further and open to its members the vastly more productive courses which can be given in real estate appraisal, or in real estate law, in real estate conveyancing, or in real estate finance. Any group of real estate men which have found a fundamentals course useful and practical will want to go down deeper. It may frankly be admitted that real estate board educational courses have failed in no inconsiderable number of cases. experience which is here presented makes certain two things—first, what the weakness is which has caused failure where there has been failure, and second, the incontestable results of courses properly carried out. It may be said that in practically every case where the results of a course organized by a real estate board have been unsatisfactory, it has been primarily in the difficulty of securing an ideal teacher. That difficulty was inevitable in the organization of a new subject. Men who understand real estate and who at the same time understand teaching have not been found “‘ready made”’ in any large number. They must be trained for the work. The existence of advanced courses in real estate in leading universities, in itself, will insure the coming into edu- cational leadership of men who have a wide grasp of the theory under- lying land utilization. There are being developed in colleges and universities not out of | touch with practical real estate business and in technical schools young | men who are going to come into the real estate world knowing real | They will have at their | command the collective experience of the past, just as the medical ad- | estate by something more than rule of thumb. viser or the legal adviser commands such a body of collective experience. The business of real estate may depend on them as the army depends on its skeleton of coming West Point men. And the skeleton will make possible a mobilization for professional advance of a kind which busi- ness, in any form, is only beginning to see as possible.—National Real Estate Journal.

EXCERPT FROM OPINION OF JUDGE IS PRESENTED New York Litigation Sets Forth Principles That Apply Generally. An exceedingly interesting case which applies to the general law having ref- erence to the relations between brokers and owners was recently decided in the municipal court of New York. Most brokers know the necessity for a con- tract of hiring, either expressed or im- plied, if a claim for commission can be maintained when services have been rendered, but there are a few who do not appreciate entirely the require- ments of the law in this respect. We quote below an excerpt from the opinion in the case referred to which was rendered by Justice Spiegelberg in the case of Thoens & Flaunlacher, Inc., against Morris Kosofsky. The case establishes no new principle in the law of agency but simply emphasizes the necessity for employment of the broker as a basis for the claim for commission. We believe that a careful reading of this statement upon the part of the justice will be helpful. While this case is a New York case |}and is particularly interesting to brokers in that State, nevertheless the prin- ciples set forth are general principles of the law governing the rights of brokers. Without going into the particulars of the case it was established at the trial that at no time did the defendant Kosofsky employ the plaintiff broker and that the negotiations were under- taken at the request and direction of Mr. Arnold. The defendant’s counsel moved to dismiss and the court granted the mo- tion. The important and interesting part of the case was the judge’s ad- dress. to the jury, which was as fol- lows: “Gentlemen of the jury, this case will not go to you, and I think it is only fair that you should be informed of the reason. “It is generally thought, among the people at large, that a real estate owner, real estate, who sells or disposes of his property, must pay the commissions to the broker. Now, that is not the law. The law is that in a real estate transaction the per- who engages, or employs, the broker must pay the commission— whether that person is the purchaser or the seller. Usually, of course, the seller emiploys the broker. The broker has certain duties to perform, and the duties which he has to perform toward his employer are of a confidential or a fiduciary nature. He has to use his best efforts in the interest of his em- ployer, of his principal. Acted in Good Faith. Now what was done in this case? And I want to add that Mr. Flaunlacher acted, no doubt, in good faith. I think that he was misled by the belief, which _is quite general among the public and | among the brokers, who should know | better, | must pay. | that is not the law. that in every event the seller As I stated to you before, Now, what was done in this case?—and everything that Mr. Flaunlacher has testified to must be taken as correct. He was in negoti- ation with Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold intended to take over the lease of the entire building of 44 West Fifty-seventh street, on which the defendant Ko- sOfsky had a lease. That fell through. Then Arnold was looking for a store. He had been occupying a store at 44 | NEW HOME OF JOSEPH SHAPIRO FIRM | New home of the Joseph Shapiro organization, 1416 I street northwest, recently purchased by the firm. + West Fifty-seventh street, but when the negotiations for taking over the entire building fell through he was looking for some other store, and he employed Mr. Flaunlacher’s firm, or the corpora- tion in which Mr. Flaunlacher is in- terested, to get a suitable store for him —for Mr. Arnold—or rather for the concern of which Arnold was the owner, Goldstein & Co. “Mr. Flaunlacher looks around, act-| ing for Mr. Arnold; and, among others, he hits upon that very store which Arnold had, and which was a part of the entire building which was leased | by Kosofsky. And he goes to Kosofsky | and says, I think I can make terms for you with Arnold.” “What did that mean? He told Kosofsky, not in so many words, but the law puts this implication upon them: “I, Flaunlacher, am acting for Mr. Arnold, who is anxious to get a store, and I can lease your store if the terms are right.’’ Kosofsky said, “Yes; these are my terms.”” He reports them. They were not accepted at first; and finally they were accepted, and the lease went through. Now, for whom was Flaunlacher acting? Was he act- ing for Arnold, or was he acting for Kosofsky? If I own a house, and a broker-comes to me and says to me, “Judge, I can sell your house; how much do you want to have for it?” and I say “I will sell it for $60,000;” and he comes back and says, “I can not get you $60,- 000 but I can get you $50,000; will you Gladman, Harry BE.

Must Act For Employer. “In other words, the unsolicited ef- forts—the umsolicited offers—of a broker to sell even if successful, do not entitle the broker to commissions. Now, that is the law, gentlemen, and that applies not alone to real estate matters, but it applies to all matters where the question of agency is involved. And it is quite proper. “As I said before, trere is a confiden- tial relationship. The broker must act in the interest of his employer. How could Flaunlacher have acted in the interest of Kosofsky, when he was really acting for Arnold? If Flaun- lacher is correct, he was the agent of Kosofsky, and his duty was toward Kosofsky to get the best terms for Kosofsky, and not the best terms for Arnold. Under these circumstances, gentlemen, I have to grant the motion, of the defendant to dismiss the com- plaint.” Plaintiff’s counsel said: “I will take the usual exception to your honor’s CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, COLUMN l.

Hil. he The by-laws of the National As- sociation of Real Estate Boards con- tain the following provisions: “Article IV. “Section 1. Each member board shall adopt the code of ethics of the National Association as a part of its rules and regulations, for vio- lation of which disciplinary action may be taken. “Sec. 2. Any member board which shall neglect or refuse to maintain and enforce the code of ethics with respect to the business activities of its constituent members may, after due. notice and opportunity for hearing, be expelled from member-. ship in the National Association by the board of directors.” FREE LOTS COSTLY, JERDEVITES FINDING; WAR BY REALTORS Schemes by Land Developers Result in Complaints by “Lucky” Persons. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOST IN INVESTMENTS Plans Are Highly Misleading, but Catch the Unwary; Check Instituted. Winning an alleged “free lot” may mean losing a lot, according to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, and many of the cities of the State are be- ing flooded with offers of free lots for $39.50 each or similar sums. Despite numerous warnings sounded through the press against the “free lot” schemes practiced by certain land de- velopers throughout the entire coun- try, the New Jersey Real Estate Com- mission again finds it necessary to call attention to the activities of a num- ber of these purveyors of “something for nothing” in this State. Although the season has hardly opened, a num- ber of complaints have already been filed with the State commission Dy persons who have been taken in by these scheming operators. The names of the offending developers have been submitted to the commission, together with the method followed in disposing of the free lots, and a thorough inves- tigation is now being made under the supervision of Chief Investigator John N. Harkins of the State department. The so-called “free lots” are not gifts at all, but cost $39.50 each, or a similar sum, and in the majority of cases they prove to be more expensive to the “lucky person” than the actual purchase of a piece of land at the mar- ket value. The scheme is nothing more than a trap for trusting people of lim- ited means and little experience. That the “free lot” plan is being waged with avidity is attested by the large num- ber of complaints filed with the New Jersey commission during the past few weeks. War on Scheme Is Begun. The practice of advertising and dis- posing of alleged free lots, however, will be checked to a great extent, if not en- tirely eliminated, this year, as a con- certed effort is to be made to accom- plish this end, thus saving hundreds of Mann and Z |New Jersey residents not only thousands |of dollars annually, but also relieving them from the mental anguish which usually accompanies these investments. Many newspapers refuse to carry the ad- vertisements of the developers, so gen- erous use is made of the malls and personal solicitation by unlicensed can- | vassers who are violating the real es- tate license law. While every effort is to be made by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission | to stamp out the operation of the free lot operators, this body is being greatly assisted in this work by the newspapers, chambers of commerce, better business bureaus, State department of conserva- tion and development, police depart- ments of different cities, and the indi- vidual real estate brokers and local real estate boards throughout the State. This type of enterprise has been pro- moted for several years in New Jersey and nearby States. While new methods have been introduced at frequent inter- vals, the basis of the plan is misleading. Usually a housewife is solicited by a woman canvasser to sign a card which does not obligate the signer. in any way. Lucky Person Congratulated. A few days later the signer of the card is visited by another person, who con- gratulates her as one of the lucky per- sons to be awarded a lot free. Of course, every one who signed a card is declared a@ winner. Finally the lucky one is ad- vised that she must pay $39.50 or $49.13, which amount is said to cover the con- veyancing charges of the lot, while as a matter of fact the lot in most cases may not be worth the price asked by the developer for the title and survey charges. Usually the lot is located in the pines of south Jersey, with no improvements or possessed of little or no market value. Frequently the supposed conveyan- ancing charges of $39.50 or $49.13 hardly represents the value of a whole acre of land from which about 20 lots 20 by 100 feet each may be plotted. The pros- | ganizations. pective lucky winner is sometimes urged ‘tary. to visit the tract by free bus and Is told the lot he has won for $39.50 or so is away back in the woods or underbrush. Effort is then made to sell him lots cleared of brush for sums ranging from $500 each upward. Then he is told restrictions prevent building on one lot and two lots must be purchased. The size of the lots is usually 20 by 100 feet fronting on proposed street which exists on tentative maps. Lured by Disc-Coins. Other schemes used to get “suckers” is the distribution of cards in or near moving picture theaters to persons who are requested to sign them without any obligation, with the result as above stated. The finding of a disc-coin on the street which entitles the finder to a free lot at a nominal sum is another method employed by developers. Regardless of the schemes used to get the signature of a person to a card for a share in the awarding of a free lot, the result is about the same, and all persons are again warned to beware of such practices. The New Jersey Real Estate Commission suggests that before affixing their signatures to a card of any kind offering land for nothing. people should consult their local banks of chambers of commerce, these will ad- vise prospective investors, or else write to the commission, where complete de- tails of every land development may be obtained. DELEGATED INTERESTED IN OTUDY OF TAXATION Repeal of Federal Estate Levy Advocated by U. S. Com- merce Chamber. PRINCIPLES SET FORTH Of particular interest to Washing- tonians is the present tax situation, and it is quite natural that the Washing- ton Real Estate Board is intensely in- terested in this problem. It has already given a great deal of study to the local tax situation and therefore the dele- gates from the local to the National Association of Real Estate Boards’ con- vention will take a great deal of in- terest in the tax study. Repeal of the Federal estate tax and allocation of this source of revenue entirely to the various States is ad- vocated by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in a statement of its stand on tax adjustment which has just been made to its member or- Such a_ separation of sources of tax funds as between the Federal Government and the States has for some time been a part of the plat- form for tax adjustment advocated by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The general principles of taxation emphasized by the national chamber are as folows: General reduction of tax rates. Wide distribution:of personal income tax levies. Differentiation between earned and unearned income. A State Commision to study the tax laws of Minnesota, with considerable reference to the taxation of mortgages, money, credits and shares of stock in banks and trust companies, mortgage loan companies and investment com- panies, has just been created by the Minnesota Legislature. The commission which is to consist of three members of the Senate and three members of the House’ of Representatives, is authorized by the act creating it to take steps in cooperation with the authorities of other States, if possible ‘oward such remedial legislation in relation to the taxation of shares of stock of national banks as is for the best interest of the State and to make a report of its work and its recommendations to the next regular or special session of the State Legislature. A municipal bond act has been en- acted by the Minnesota Legislature at the session recently closed. Its princi- pal provisions require that only serial bonds be issued by municipalities of the State; that the principal be paid during the estimated life of the im- provement for which the issue is made, and that all bond issues be registered with the auditor of the county in which the municipality is located. Emmett S. Hickman, of Wilmington, Del., first president of the Wilmington Real Estate Board, has been appointed chairman of the State Commission of three who will have the duty of ad- ministering the new Delaware real estate license law, which goes into effect July 1.

Development of permanent well-correlated control measures as part of economic statesmanship affecting real estate interests will come before the National Association of Real Estate Boards at its twentieth annual con- vention. Member boards in the States directly affected are working under the leadere ship of the New Orleans Real Estate Board on measures of control to be proposed. Walter Parker, of New Orleans, execue tive vice president of the National Flood Commission, will address the convene tion in its general session of August on the subject of flood control and the use, rather than waste, of flood waters.

Junior liens for the aid of the home buyer and second liens generally from the point of view of the investor in in- come property will be the central topic of mortgage specialists who will meet at Seattle, Wash., August 10 to 13, in cone nection with the coming twentieth an- nual convention there of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The topic will be brought up for discussion at the two-day session to be held by the mortgage and finance division of the national association. Findings of a national survey on actual present practices in the junicr financing of homes will be brought be- fore the division as the foundation for its discussions. The survey has been carried on by the national association through its member boards in 48 typical cities, each of which has put the gathe- er of facts as to local conditions and practices into the hands of a commit- tee of men familiar with local mortgage problems. The survey, returns from which are now being collated, is expected to give the most detailed picture which has ever been focused of the actual terms, amounts and interest 1ates now preva- lent for second mortgages and land cone tracts as used by home buyers, the exe tent to which such financing is in pres- ent use, the actual discount rate which must be paid in reselling second mort- gages and land contracts, and other facts upon which it is hoped to base @ better understanding of a phase of financing recognized as needing clari- fication and as closely connected with the whole problem of widening home ownership. The survey has been made as an ine quiry to a more efficient and more ecoe nomical junior financing practice. Henry R. Brigham, Boston, Mass., member and former chairman of the housing committee of the National As- sociation, and chairman of a recent special conference of various national associations and research institutions concerned with the problem of mort- gages and home financing, will ad- dress the division on junior liens on homes, and give the results of the association’s survey.

BUILDING CONTRACTS SOAR TO NEW LEVEL. F W DODGE REPORTS $632,000,000 Is June Figure for 37 States East of the Rockies. RECORD IN NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK STATE Educational Projects Are List- ed Among Leaders in Central West. wee et + June construction contracts in the territory east of the Rocky Mountains broke all previous monthly records, ac- cording to F. W. Dodge Corporation. Building and engineering work con- tracted for last month in the 37 East- ern States (including about 91 per cent of the country’s total) amounted to $632,478,000. There have been only four previous months that had _ as much as #8600,000,000 in contracts: August, 1925, August, 1926, March, 1927, and April, 1927. March of this year held the previous high record of $620,738,- 200. The June increase over May was 15 per cent; over June, 1926, 16 per cent. The June record brought the volume of construction started during the first half of the year up to $3,187,993,300, which ts 2 per cent ahead of the first half of 1926. Up to June this year had been running a little behind last year. It should be understood that building construction hes run appreciably, though not seriously, behind last year, and that engineering work has largely increased. The June contract record included the following important items: $238,- 814,100, or 38 per cent of all construc- tion, for residential buildings; $151,- 398.500, or 24 per cent, for public works and utilities; $88,122,400, or 14 per cent, for commercial buildings; $42,121,800, or 7 per cent, for educa- tional buildings, and $33,879,300, or 5 per cent, for industrial buildings. Contemplated new work reported In June amounted to $729,178,900, which was 14 per cent less than the amount reported in May and 10 per cent less than that reported in June of last year. | Record June Total in New York. The June total for building contracts in New York State and northern New Jersey, amounting to $175,098,300, was the highest June figure yet recorded for this district. It was 26 per cent over the amount reported in May, 1927, and 38 per cent over the amount reported in June, 1926. Included in last month’s construction record were large contracts for road work and subway construction, Analysis of the June building record for this district showed the following items of importance: $73,653,800, or 42 per cent of all construction, for resi- dential buildings; $55,104,200, or 32 per cent, for public works and utilities; $19,764,200, or 11 per cent, for com- mercial buildings, and $7,860,100, or 5 per cent, for educational projects.

BUILDING EXPANSION PROGRAM OF ACACIA LIFE 1S UNDER WAY — Construction of One Unit at First Street and Indiana Avenue Started. ALL CONCRETE FOOTINGS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED Formal Opening of Structure Planned for April 1, 1928, Officials Announce. Work on the first unit of the build- ings included in the expansion pro- gram of the Acacia Mutual Life Associ- ation, whose headquarters are in Wash- ington, has been started at the First street and Indiana avenue site, and rapid progress is being made in getting the framework of the ten-story edifice in place. The concrete footings all have been completed, it was announced yester- day, and work on the steel construc- tion is well under way. The basement and about one-third of the first floor have been finished in this respect. According to officials of the Acacia Mutual Life Association in active charge of the building plans, from this point forward work on the structure which is to house the home office of the association will go forward stead- ily. It is planned formally to open the building on April 1, 1928. Present plans of Acacia call for elab- orate dedication ceremonies at that time. Representatives of the company from all sections of the United States will participate in an important pro- gram, details of which already are be- ing discussed. Work Well Under Way. With work on this building now well started, attention is drawn to the broad program of expansion which the big local Masonic life insurance asso- clation has underway. It is proposed eventually to construct a group of three, and perhaps even four, buildings which will adequately take care of the association’s needs for the years to come. At present occupying spacious quar- ters on several floors of the Homer Building, Thirteenth and F streets northwest, Acacia has outgrown many successive offices since it has been moving forward under the more than 33 years’ presidency of William Mont- gomery, whose leadership is credited with responsibility for the present am- bitious program of expansion. It ture development. clation for a considerable period of years can be accommodated. Plans for the first unit of the group, the one now under construction, call for the erection of a ten-story fireproof structure, with detailed equipment in the most approved modern office build- ing etyle. There will be, in addition to various offices and ‘“workrooms,” 4 large assembly hall, lounges and recre- ation rooms. Every possible step will be taken to insure ideal working con- ditions for Acacia employes. ee is the hope of the officers of | Acacia that the contemplated building | program will be broad enough to allow | sufficient room for the company’s fu- | However, this pro- | gram has been made purposely flexible | so that every possible need of the asso- | ee eee ee — eee LL - oi — | BUILDING PERMITS — New construction for the week end- ed yesterday is still continuing at a moderate pace, John W.

So many features have been introduced into Spanish houses in America that an honest importation like the fireplace shown here is a particularly welcome note. This with hearth, is reminiscent of peasant kitch- corner fireplace arrangement, its conical opening and raised ens in Spain, where such fireplaces often assume great size and are put to the fullest possible use as the family cookstove and heating plant.

Ll A A CAFRITZ COMPLETES CHEVY CHAE HOMES NEAR COUNTRY CLUB New Terrace Residences Con- venient to Shopping and School Facilities. COMMUNITY 20 MINUTES FROM HEART OF CITY Norwood Drive Structures of Early Colonial and English Gothic Design. The Cafritz Construction Co. has just completed a number of new homes in Chevy Chase Terrace, the new subdivision overlooking the Chevy Chase Country Club in the heart of the country club section and conven- fent to the shopping and school facili- ties at Chevy Chase and Rethesda as well as the recreational advantages that the surrounding clubs afford. This suburban community, minutes from the heart of the city, is @asily reached by motoring out Con- necticut avenue to Bradley Lane, then west to Wisconsin avenue, and south to Norwood Drive, or by driving out Wisconsin avenue direct to Norwood Drive opposite the golf course. Bus s and street car transportation facilities | serve its convenience. Formerly a part of the estate of H. Bradiey Davidson, whose home and landscaped grounds adjoin this prop- erty, Chevy Chase terrace has won the admiration of suburban home owners and is one of the most popular and exclusive new subdivisions in nearby | Maryland. Norwood drive, on which these homes are located, is an unusu- ally wide street, the entrance of which is flanked by large stone columns. In the center of the street three islands, attractively landscaped, make the en- trance unusually appealing. Norwood drive homes are distinctive their afchitectural treatment. They are of early colonial and English do- mestic Gothic design, detached, with separate garages.

The interior finish of these homes is complete and harmonious in treatment The trim is of ivory and mahogany, and the floors throughout the house are of oak. Wallpaper and electric fixtures of the latest design bring out the charac- teristics and individualize the decora- tion of each room.

It is such a common occurrence that the court knows—as everybody knows who is versed in matters of business— that these are circular letters that are sent around by the hundr’ or thou- sands, by any owner who 1!s desirous of selling or leasing his property. If this circular letter had contained an offer of the store, then the question would have been for yo to determine whether there was an «mplr ment of Flaunlacher by the defendant. But this has_no relation to th? matter in- volved in this suit at all.

While there is abundance of rock everywhere in the county, the particular quality of rock where the deposit is in a strata of the right thickness, also having the quality and color, has been very diffi- cult to locate.

OOO ee Orphan By Fidelity Storage Man : —— ee Asylum Bought Building at Fourteenth and S Streets Northwest, Whose History Dates Remodeled Back to 18?2, Will Be for Stores. With history dating back to the close of the War of 1812, the old brick build- | ing at Fourteenth and S streets north- west, the former home of the Washing- ton City Orphan Asylum, faded into the | realm of the past when title to the | property was taken last week by James L. Karrick, of the Fidelity Storage Co. The new owner is to fireproof the building and remodel the Fourteenth street front into stores and showrooms, rear of the property Although negotiations for the prop- erty have been in progress for some | time, the deed was recorded only week. It is stated the price paid was approximately $400,000. The site has a | frontage of 200 feet on Fourteenth street by 275 feet on S street. Mr. Karrick stated yesterday tentative plans call for a building ultimately, although for the present the remodeled building will be only three stories. Estimated cost of carrying out present plans is $50,000. Founded in 1815 by Mrs. Van Ness, wife of Gen. Van Ness, formerly Miss Marcia Burns, who then lived on the present site of the Pan-American Bu- reau, the orphanage was later merged with the Female Orphan Asylum of Georgetown. This organization chartered in 1828 by Congress as the Washington City.Orphan Asylum. Prior to the Civil War the home of the so- ciety was on H street northwest, be- tween Ninth and Tenth streets. This home was sold to the Catholics, who opened the St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum, and which was recently torn down to make way for a new building. When the property was acquired at Fourteenth and S streets, it- was rented tnat by the State Department during the | Civil War, and it is said, Secretary Seward maintained offices here for a time. Sometime later the property was turned back to the trustees, and the ' bulldings have been last | five-story | was | orphanage again established, and cone- tinyed until the sale of the property to Mr. @arrick The new home of the organization is now located at Nebraska avenue and Loughsborough road, where the eite comprises thirteen acres.

Special to The Washington Post. New York, July 10.—Will America’s tall buildings offer the opportunity for development of a new art in color har- mony, comparable to that used in ex- quisite oll paintings? Many architects, builders and material men believe this will occur, according to Frederick C. Hirons, New York architect. A number of modern structures have already made lavish and effective use of beautifully hued terra cotta and similar materials, but for the most part these have so far been in definite pat- terns and designs. While this tech- nique will probably be developed even further, it is predicted that still another form, entirely different, will make its appearance, says Mr. Hirons. Color experts will design, for the tops and remotely viewed parts of buildings, bright patches and splashes of vary- ing hues which, when seen from the ground or from the distance, will be composed into gorgeous tints, almost impossible of attainment with single colors.

The property was sold for M. Biron, builder, to Victoria Sasscer, who, it is reported, will hold it for an investment. The consideration involved was said to be about $125,000. Fronting 50 feet on Chapin street and running back 150 feet, the building is four stories high, and contains 24 apart- ments of three and four rooms and bath. George T. Santmyers was the architect.

-PINEY POINT SHORES SURPASSES, HOPES - OF ITS DEVELOPERS Fields of Corn and Old Farm House Confronted the First Visitors. PERFECT STATE ROAD NOW LEADS TO PLACE St. George’s Avenue Runs Full Length of New Subdivision. According to Bauman & Heinzman, jocal realtors and developers of water- front properties, Piney Point Shores has by far surpassed all the expecta- tions of advancement that they had hoped for on the opening day at the subdivision last September. Opening its season in September of 1926, people who visited the subdivi- sion at that time were confronted with fields of corn with a few outbuildings. But today were the same visitors to travel to Piney Point Shores they would enter from a perfect State road under an at- tractive entrance arch, constructed in rustic design of pines, onto Saint Georges avenue, the main street of the resort. Saint Georges avenue runs the full length of the subdivision, from the en- trance to the extreme point of the beach. It has been fully graded and graveled into perfect condition. Lom- bardi poplars, which tend to give it a stately appearance, have been planted its full length. In the place where cornfields used to be cottages are going up everywhere. Near thie entrance James Harman, of Alexandria, Va., has erected the Lind- burgh, a spacious and attractive cot- tage. On the waterfoont near Laurel street W.

P.).—There’s something “dead wrong” with the old superstition against walking under a ladder. Two events here in the last three days have proved that it is “all the bunk.’’ At the corner of the Strand and Es- sex street an immaculately dressed man paused at a ladder and then pro- ceeded to walk around it. But a painter above upset a pot of black paint. It knocked over a pot of white paint and the combination fell on the unfortu- nate pedestrian. Had he walked under the ladder he would have escaped.

TIMBER DRIVES ARE BEGUN : longest timber drive in Wyoming is that of 115 miles down the Wind River from DuNoir to Riverton, Picture shows a typical timber tier entering the stream. Cheyenne, Wyo. (By A. P.).—The an- nual timber drives, which have rapidly decreased in the United States with the building of railroads into the lum- bering sections, are under way in Wyoming. Most of the timber cut in this State is used for railroad ties. During the winter hundreds of thousands of ties are stacked or “banked” at the heads of small streams and in the summer, as the streams are swelled by melting snows, the ties are floated down to a shipping point. The longest drive in Wyoming, if not in the United States, is that down the Wind River from DuNoir to River- ton, a distance of more than 115 miles. Two booms, structures built across the stream to hold the floating ties, are used on the drive, one at the mouth RESORTS of DuNoir Creek and the other on Wind River at Riverton. More than 25 drivers are stationed In three camps along the river to keep the ties moving. The drivers, with their long cant- hooks, have a continuous battle against jams and ties which become marooned in the rocks of small cataracts or are washed up on the banks. The DuNoir Creek boom broke this year and re- leased 10,000 ties before it could be repaired. At Riverton the ties are guided down |a spillway to inspection sheds, where representatives of purchasers either ac- cept or condemn them. The accepted ties are carried on endless chains to the cording yards, where they are stacked for treatment to withstand the elements.

PREMIER IS HOST TO 3 Tokyo, July 9 (A.P.).—The Eta, or outcast class of Japan, is rapidly be- coming a political factor and emerging from the forlorn condition in which it has existed for many centuries. The movement to eliminate prejudice against this class was given further impetus recently when Premier Tanaka invited three members of the Eta to dine with him. This was the first time in the history of Japan that members of the Eta had ever been accorded the honor of dining with the head of the government. The Japanese generally are Buddhists. Buddhism prohibits the killing and |eating of animals. Tradition has it | that the outcast class originated with persons who killed animals with which | to feed the imperial falcons. Afterward they become executioners and disposers of dead bodies. They became known as a “defiled people” and as such have suffered ever since from social preju- dices. In 1871 Emperor Meiji swept away the distinctions between the Eta and his other subjects, so far as legal rights were conecrned. But the social preju- dice remained, especially in the country districts, until recent years, when the Eta banded together to demand better treatment. Throughout the rural districts of Japan there are about 5,249 outcast districts, with inhabitants numbering nearly 3,000,000. As many of them will vote in the next election, the politicians are beginning to pay attention to them.

MEN IN ENGLAND FOUND INDIFFERENT 10 GIRLS Used to Being Sought After, Says American, Hence They Await Pursuit. LONDON DANCES PRAISED London, July 9 (A.P.).—What\hap- pens when the American debutante meets the English “young eligible?” An American debutante who writes to the London Daily Mail only under her initials solves the question by say- ing that it is the American girl who gets off the “high horse”’ first. “Englishmen,” she says, “have im- pressed me as being very much more indifferent than Americans. This ig only natural, as they are here in the minority and consequently sought after, as we, the girls, are in America. “I find I am giving way to the men and am getting quite used to being unimportant. It was quite hard at first, but one can get used to any- thing.” There is a system of chaperoning in New York which does not exist in London, the debutant declares. Very - few New York girls she says, are al- lowed to accept offers of men to see them home, but must return home with a professional chaperon or maid. Such is not the case in London. The fair visitor deplores the Ameri- can system of cutting in at dances, and prefers the English program sys- tem. “There is no way of stopping anyone from dancing with you, even- if you don’t like him,” she says, “and again, there is no way of keeping on dancing with someone you do like if someone else feels a desire to cut in. Another point in favor of the English system is that being with your partners for about a quarter of an hour gives you the op- portunity of really getting to know the men you have just met.” SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES REDUCED SUMMER RATES FOR ALL LANGUAGES For summer only.

WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1927. EFI? AAOY THIS WEEK AT NATIONAL Broadway found a newly coined word to describe a “goat” or a “fall guy” after Barry Conners’ witty comedy, “The Patsy,” was produced for 300 per- formances at the Booth Theater last season. A Patsy is a gullible and im- posed upon person, designed by its in- ventor to cover in one term, all the synonyms for the susceptible human. At the National for the new week the Players will present this comedy as the story of a young daughter who is a combination of Cinderalla and the modern flapper, a youngster who is mistreated by her elders and totally misunderstood by them, though at heart she is intelligent, lovable. Patricia has an older sister, cold and calculating, who discards her fiance like sO many other of her whims. Under pretense of establishine a Lonesome Club Patricia calls on the rejected lover, supposedly to exchange views for forming this important Institution. The inevitable happens and Patsy further astounds her family by bright- ening into a veritable font of slangy epigrams, culled secretly from a book designed to make a “personality” out of any one. Patsy’s amusing and naive methods in winning Tony for her qwn form the buttress of the play’s comedy. FARCE FILM AT COLUMBIA STARS CODY One of the funniest films of the sea- son, “On Ze Boulevard,’ a French farce as glittering and snappy as a slice of Paris itself, comes to Loew’s Columbia screen today for a week’s engagement. It features Lew Cody as a philander- ing French waiter and Renee Adoree as the girl in a very deluge of comical charitable and | woes. It all begins when Lew inherits a sudden fortune and buys a fashion- able wardrode. The wardrobe starts him on the road to ruin, for he decides to become a gay boulevardier. His first flirtation gets him all tangled up with a blonde actress and he is challenged to a duel by a jealous rival. In fact, he gets into so much hot water it seems he will never emerge until Miss Adoree, who plays the part of the res- taurant cashier who really loves him, uses her woman’s wits to save him. Among the clever people in the cast are Dorothy Sebastian and Roy D’Arcy. It is set in lavish surroundings and was directed by Harry Millards, of ‘‘The Taxi Dancer” fame. Director Millarde is said to have surpassed his previous achieve- ments in turning out a film which has speed, action, humor and romance in- termingled abundantly in equal parts. In his hands the characters have be- come alive, and in spite of many farci- cal situations into which they are plunged, retain a warm and convincing vitality. It is an original story Herbert. famous English Florence Ryerson, American fiction writer, who recently finished “The Demi-Bride,”’ with Lew Cody and Norma Shearer. by F. Hugh novelist, and LEW WEARS HOT PAJAMAS Joseph and his far-famed coat of many colors had nothing on Lew Cody when that versatile actor started work on his latest role in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer's French farce, “On Ze Boule- vard,’ opening today at Loew’s Co- lumbia. In fact, Joseph’s coat is a back number beside Lew’s pajamas; the noc- turnal trousers of the. screen celebrity contain at least sixteen colors that Joseph never heard of and wouldn't have known had he seen them. Thus modern dyes and modern art has progressed since Joseph’s time. Cody wears a pair of pajamas, imported from Paris, and guaranteed to be the very iast word in fashions for the well-dressed boulevardier when he’s not dressed. It is a maze of color—a veritable kaleidoscope. a cross between an impressionistic painting of a dye work explosion and a blast furnace on a busy day. “In Joseph’s time,” says Cody, only had a few few wild berries and yellow. “But me—lI’ve got mauve and peach and burnt umber and dozen colors in between.” The new pajamas are an exact copy of what is the most modish wear in Paris today—and Cody prizes them highly as examples of the French de- signer’s art Cody plays ‘a into a fortune, a actress, and a rival inclined to fight duels in the new comedy, a hilarious | adventure in Paris.

The short reel comedy which will be of- fered as chief supplementary feature of the program will be “Fluttering Hearts,” two reels of hilarious fun starring Charlie Chase. In addition to these major offerings there will be shown a new release of the Pathe Re- view and the latest compilation of the specially assembled Metropolitan World Survey, reflecting important news events of the week. The entertain- ment will be rounded by the melodious contributions of the Metropolitan Sym- phony Orchestra under the conductor- ship of Daniel Breeskin. “Naughty but Nice” affords Colleen Moore one of her most fruitful oppor- tunities to offer an interestingly con- trasted character impersonation.

The production was made in France, with many scenes actually filmed on the spot in Arras, &c. Pierre Magnier, noted French actor, who has played Cy- rano for many years, has the title role. Linda Moglia, Carlo Ferrari, Gemma de Sanctis and many other famous con- tinental stars are in the cast. “Cyrano de Bergerac’ has been un- usually lauded in New York and Wash- ington.

Carl Freed is his unostenta- tious name and he is unique among orchestra directors inasmuch as he conducts with the aid of.a mouth-or- | He is also unusually adept on, ‘other novel along | Their gan. instruments, including a pair of ordinary tablespoons and an old earthenware jug. The added attraction for the new week will be supplied by Jean Kenny and Verina Carvet and company in an amusing skit with music entitled, ‘Oh, Auntie!” Four persons participate in this ebullient interval of hilarity, the featured half being Jean Kenny and Verina Carvet. The vaudeville program will be opened by Ramsey’s Canaries, a troupe of “feathered Thespians’” that have been trained by Mme. Ramsey, who maintains an enormous aviary. From the musical comedy stage come Billy Foster and Marty Semon, two comedi- ans of renown, who appear in a new sketch bearing the title of “Cuba.” In this travesty, which was devised for laughing purposes only, the popular singing comedians impersonate a pair of thirsty Americans who journey to the West Indian Islands. not a great dis- tance off the coast of Florida, where they indulge in sparkling comment upon Cuba’s visitors and her native feminine populace. Another’ clever satire will be presented by Jack ‘‘Rube” Clifford and Mae Ludwig in “The Sheriff.” “Rube” Clifford is a character comedian, who has gained fame in vaudeville, on the legitimate, stage and in motion pictures, now appearing in a return to the two-a-day which has been sienalized by a genuine triumph. The Earle’s photoplay feature for the week will be First National's production of “The Sunset Derby,” in which Mary Astor and William Collier, jr., appear in the costellar roles. La Plant and Fae Duval ain N “Beware of Widows” —Rialto pe FINDS TYPING |MORTENSON IS DIFFICULT Everybody excels at something! Marion Davies, Cosmopolitan star of “Tillie the Toiler,” opening at Loew’s Palace today, found that in the role of the frivolous stenographer girls who pound the typewriter for a living must be proficient. Two hundred girls, students of Mc- Kay’s business college, Los Angeles, appear with Miss Davies in the opening sequence of the picture and there were few of them who could not “make a typewriter talk.” With the much-envied star the type- writer has a trick of putting the wrong letters, or figures, on the paper, and it was not until an instructor in steno- graphy and several of the students who acted as tutors had assisted the star that she was able to become proficient enough to be photographed while using the machine. “I was certainly glad that Russ Westover draws Tillie as a stenographer whe seldom ‘stenogs,’ says Marion. “Trying to write on a typewriter be- fore a camera, if you don’t know how,’ she adds, “is just as fakey as an actress trying to make out like she plays a violin, or piano, when she knows nothing about it.” For that reason the star insisted on learning the keyboard and a few of the fundamentals cf typing before posing as a stenographer while the film was being made at the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studio. In Marten Mortenson, the clever young pianist being offered as the stage attraction, the Rialto presents a strange contribution to the field of music. For Mortenson, still in his early twenties, hails from Milwaukee, Wis. At the age of 10 years, he entered strict musical training. Then after several years he entered the Chicago Musical] College, where he attained the honor of artist’s degree. Later he conceived the idea of playing two pianos at once, something which few artists in the world today have been able to master. Then came three years on the vaudeville Stage, which came about only after hard work, disappointments, heart- aches, and many a time without food or shelter. But because he was per- sistent he has today become recognized as ‘one of the greatest artists on the piano in the country today. Besides being a talented musician, Mortenson is also a composer of mu- sic; in fact, he has about 50 or more songs and piano solos to his credit. His latest composition, Dance,” has proven a dij a big hit. Plays Vamp. Alabama has produced tle latest French comedienne of the screen—in the person of Dorothy Sebastian, who plays Gaby, the blonde vampire, in “On Ze Boulevard,” opening today at Loew’s Columbia. Miss Sebastian is thorough- ly American—but proves a_ perfect Frenchwoman in the new role. Town and Country. Billy Phelps, juvenile with the Na- tional Players, has graduated into a town-and-country fellow, owning a cottage up the river towards Glen Echo, which he inhabits on week-ends and maintaining a large apartment during the week. This is Mr. Phelps’ third season with the Nationalites, Coming Along. The handsome newcomer to the National Players is Hamilton Phillips, still in his twenties, but well grounded in his art by experience in stock and in production. His work as the shell- shocked soldier in “The Enemy,” was particularly striking and this last week he made much of a sissy stage director.

IS COMPOSER | Chesapeake Beach, “Cannibal | YOUNG STARS FINALLY WIN RECOGNITION | The ancient axiom about “youth must be servéd” has been disregarded so long in the musical world that it has developed into a tradition that only maturity could hope to triumph among the topnotchers of the concert stage. Nor was it believed possible for an artist to gain the heights of American music without a foreign name and background.” Youth, however, promises to be served and served well during the forthcoming concert season of 1927-28, for a glance at the concert attractions listed for the fall and winter by Mrs. Wilson-Greene for Washington, indi- cates that at least one-third of the big | “names” on her list are not only youth- ful stars, but Americans as well. Marion Talley, the 20-year old daugh- | | ter of a Missouri Pacific telegraph op- ' erator, whose debut at the Metropolitan | @ season or so ago was probably the | most sensational even in all Metropoli- tan history, has been selected to open Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s Artists’ course of grouped in the same course, is another sensation of the music world who has | non not yet turned 30, Jascha Heifetz, vio- | : linist. ington for two seasons. 25, Heifetz was rated as one of the very greatest violinists of the genera- | It has only been a few seasons | since his mother traveled with him.

Johnson is sched- ber 11, with him are such giants of the con- cert stage as Kreisler, Rachmaninoff, Jeritga and another star of equal mag- nitude yet to be announced. Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s third afternoon course—the Wilson-Greene course— which opens with the performance of “The Beggar’s Opera” on October 21 at Poli’s, includes still another youthful American star, who has not yet turned 30—Lawrence Tibbeti, the California barytone of the Metropolitan, who ap- peared here last season not only with the Metropolitan, but in concert also. Linked with Tibbett in the Wilson- Greene course are such stars as Lu- crezia Bori, the Metropolitan soprano; Sigrid Onegin, one of the world’s great- est contraltos, and Josef Hofmann, the pianist, who, inciden- is no longer a Pole, but a regu- Chesapeake Beach.

The story is an adaptation of the stage success by Owen Davis, and has to do with Joyce Bragdon, engaged to John Waller, a young doctor who is highly popular: with the ladies. They decide to get married at once and go to a resom hotel. Waller calls a min- ister where Paula, a married woman, one of his admirers, happens to be stopping. She feigns illness and brings Waller to her room. Joyce learns of this when the minister arrives, and, jealous, leaves in a huff, breaking the engagement. Time passes and Paula is divorced from her husband. Waller plans to marry Ruth, the friend of William Bradford, who is a pal of John’s. They plan to get married on Peter’s houseboat. Joyce wrecks her car near the houseboat and is catried on board. Peter, Ruth’s father, brings Paula aboard, planning a double wed- ding. After a spat Waller breaks with Ruth and plans to marry Paula. Joyce sets the houseboat loose in a severe storm. Joyce tells Peter that Paula loves him, and when the boat strikes a rock Peter saves Paula. Everybody but Waller and Joyce flee to safety via the lifeboat. Waller refuses to leave, as does Joyce. An uproarious and unexpected climax straightens the dilemma and sorts out | the tangled couples in an original and | Se eroronaas manner. Mortensen, “The Wizard of the Pi- | anos,” is the stage presentation feature, Many people play one piano well or | better than well, but Mortensen plays two pianos at the same time, and plays them both better and well. Rox Rommell, conducting the Rialto Orchestra, will introduce a novelty overture, “A Cycle of Sweetheart Songs,” featuring Orville Rennie, the singing usher, as vocal soloist. “The Newlyweds Surprise,”’ Snookums, and International round out. starring Newsreel ee “TILLIE” AND TILLER GIRLS AT PALACE Screenland’s golden girl, Marion Da- vies, will be seen at Loew's Palace The- ater in her latest starring vehicle, “Tillie the Toiler,” for a week’s ene gagement, starting today, with one tana billed as the cowboy banjv@t and the Sixteen Tiller Sunshine Girls, fa- mous English dancers, as the presenta- tion stage features.

HIS AMBITION IS REALIZED Millard Webb, hailed by Hollywood as one of the “best bets’ in the direc- torial field at an age when most men are just beginning to wade into a career in earnest, is held up as a shining ex- ample of the boy who made good in the movies. Webb, a handsome, husky blond, who looks like a college fullback, is the au- thor of several successful screen stories and has directed Colleen Moore, John Barrymore and other leading stars. He has never lost sight of his goal, a high place in Hollywood, As a boy in San Francisco, his father wanted him to be a lawyer. Webb wanted to be an actor and joined a road show presenting “Lost Paradise.” Later he was sent to the Mackay School of Mines in Colorado to study civil engineering. He tried faithfully and did well, but his heart was in Hollywood and finally he quit and went to the film capital. “The directors and I both learned | quickly that I wasn’t an actor,” he | says, “so I decided to work behind the |camera, not in front of it.” He became an assistant director, later codirected “Remembrance” with Rupert Hughes, and then became a scenario writer. He wrote the scripts of “Brass,” “Tiger Rose,” “Dulcy” and others. He wrote and directed “Her Marriage Vow,” “My Wife and I” and “‘The Love Thrill.” John Barrymore’s “The Sea Beast” also was made under his direction, John McCormick, general manager of West. Coast production for First Na- tional and producer of Colleen Moore's pictures, saw Webb's work, liked it and brought the director to the big Bur- bank, Calif., studio under a long term contract.

tg , 2 . Bh ns i? f: O - ~~ A otlights and Shadows By JOHN J. DALY UST how far back in the history of the theater the star system goes no one knows. It antedates the Elizabethan period; but, indubitably, it came to its greatest heights in the hands of Ameri- can producing managers. Mob psychology, in this country, at least, demands the star. That is the way men in charge of the theater figure. They are right—and they are wrong. On all sides, even among actors and actresses, there have been rantings and railings against the star system; always, of course, by those who were not stars in their own right. The star, at best, is a pernickity sort of person. The term, “Up State,’ was coined to fit the case; as most stars are that way. ; “ay PLAYWRIGHT writes a play. An actor or actress tackles it. The playwright spent many nights of toil and trouble over the MSS. The star, mummer of words, walks through the part to success —and gets all the credit for it; with a swelled head in conjunction. The manager, biring a press agent, sees that the newspapers are pro- vided with bushels of copy that tells of the doings and carryings-on of the star. So that a name becomes a household word—and, to boot, a drawing card, In a money way, it’s all right; but rather tough on embryonic stars who must eke out some sort of living. ; The press agent—some good, honest newspaper man gone wrong-— devotes the better part of his. days and nights thinking up things for the star to do and say; especially say. If a lady star, he lets “her public” in on a few secrets of domestic life; especially as it has to do with the culinary arts, and sewing; though the star, in truth, never had a wskittle in her hand, unless it was for the purpose of making a | little over-night gin, and wouldn’t know a sewing machine from a | phonograph, or that different kinds of needles are used. For the male stars and the delectation of the young things who make up “his public, the press agent rattles off reams of copy in which ‘the star’s noteworthy | achievements are set forth—on and off stage. He is, in his care-free | moments, a yachtsman; or stroke oar on a boat club’s eight ;or, he might | have been a football or baseball player in his younger days; or, mayhap, | career |for she soon ob- |} tained work with | Vitagraph at $25 a a pole vaulter, or sprinter.

The manager suffers, since ho must deal with a frankenstein of his own invention—a monster that comes back to bite the hand that feeds him. In the case of a woman there is never much sympathy wasted on the managers, since woman- hood from time immemorial has won its way to the privilege of getting the best, though it doesn’t always get it. Al — ting is good. Therefore, with long experience in his trail, the Ameri- can manager would gladly scrap the star system if only he had the | ehance—the opportunity. Trouble is, the great American public will not let him—or them, or whoever it is that keeps the star system alive and thriving. Probably the movies are to blame; for it is a simple | thing to set a name in electric lights, to make stars overnight, and have | the great American boobery fall over each other in the dash for the box office—to see Klara McDougal in “She Whoops to Conquer,” or Rudolph Banjo, the erstwhile bootblack, in “‘The Deuce You Say.” Much easier it is to advertise some two-by-four talent that dresses well | * OOD business men and women generally make stars; for they know the simple rules of the American game; to get it while the get- and struts before a camera than list a dozen nonentities that really | “.drawing power—drawing power being an accumulation of forces cen- tered mn the spotlight of publicity. Barnum was never wrong. He had it right from the moment he started furnishing pabulum to what he called “the suckers.” *\that may be summed up in the words of the successful showman: “Never give a sucker an even break.”” The moment a New York the- atrical magnate suffers a change of heart, tries to let the public in on something he believes to be strictly honest, another failure is chalked | upon thé boards that hold records of won and lost. Though managers would give almost everything they own to do away with the star system, they dare not. The star is their means of sup- port; and no one knows it better than the manager, unless it be the | star. In fact, if the manager forgets it, the star reminds him; and so taking the count. The public, not seeing behind the scenes, doesn’t care who furnishes stars, or plays for stars, so long as it has stars. | Norma’s Debut | era. /teen years ago, | when™~ Norma still "lattended high Hot for Art’s Sake | the summer day and the roaring fire | screen | The Great Unkissed Screen statistics show that one of the | funny mistakes in a motion picture is'| |Tarest things in motion pictures is a | #lways good sport | Was a villain, Beery seized and kissed | look real,” he explains.

Arp! Urp! Arp! Arp! Half a dozen bloodhounds were paw- ing the snowdrifts. But they were si- lent. The yelps came from a couple of cameramen, a squad of electricians, the operators of the snow and wind ma- chines and a troupe of extras mounted on horseback, all trying to make the dogs open up and bay. As the visitor retreated, they were still barking—all but the dogs. The hounds, stubborn as mules, continued to mull moodily, silently around in the snow, occasionally darting dffty looks from beneath their beetling brows, as if to say: “A chance to act in the movies.

As might be ex- pected, many of the cowboys in the Western films are from the Lone Star State. But the Tex- ans seem to be at home in any kind of screen drama. Among those who have attained prominence were Corinne Griffith, of Texarkana; Bebe Daniels, Mary Brian and James |’ Hall, of Dallas; Plorence Vidor, of Houston; Madge Corinne Griffith Bellamy, of Hills- boro; Ken Maynard, of Mission; Joan Crawford and Bobby Agnew, of San An- tonio, and Eileen Sedgwick, of Galves- ton. Acting Squelched The only venture of F. W. Murnau, the director, into the domain of film acting never reached the screen. It was while he was in Germany. He was rigged out in the uniform of the Death’s Head Hussars, seated at a table and served with a cup of coffee. His cue was to comment on the ex- Coming Theater Attractions | For the week following presentation of “The Patsy,” by the National Play- ers, the troupe will offer the su~~ ‘ssful starring vehicle for Ina Claire, “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney.” This is cne of the few plays on the National’s sum- mer schedule which has been seen here previously. Such was its box office ap- peal heretofore, not only locally, but in the biggest of cities and « . the road, that the National management felt no qualms about scheduling it for stock presentation. “The Last of Mrs. Cheney” is a witty essay on genteel crooks, captained by the lovely Mrs. Cheyney. Nothing less than such restricted hunting grounds as the preserves of English nobility are frequentec by these suave, mannerly and soft-spoken bandsmen. Comes the inevitable trip-up, how- ever, when strong men are led by a woman; particularly by a woman with a warm heart and an intelligent con- ception of love and morals. Throughout three acts there is an under-cover battls for a string of pearls; a battle of adroitness and strategy, which introduces situation after situation, culminating in the trapping of Mrs. Cheyney by the man who loves her and by a ludicrous last- act turning-of-the-tables which has | i | the prospective victims very much ill at ease and profuse in apologies. “Mrs. Cheyney” had its premiere in Washington two seasons ago, with Miss Claire and Roland Young in the lead- | ing roles.

It is a rollicking comedy of a whimsi- cal bachelor who is much in demand as a best man at weddings. Everyone relies on him to patch up all difficul- ties. A vamp and a valuable necklace that has a way of disappearing keep him busy and then he falls in love. “The Prince of Tempters,” which comes to the Rialto the week starting Saturday, July 16, features Ben Lyon, Lya De Putti, Lois Moran, Ian Keith, Mary Brian, Olive Tell and J. Barney Sherry. “The Prince of Tempters” is the first American-made picture by Lothar Mendes, the famous U. F. A. director. But it is said it is not in talent only that the production is one of the out- standing pictures. There is a story, smashing and powerful, adapted from “The Ex-Duke,” a novel by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Next week at the Little Theater the Motion Picture Guild will play “Poli- kushka,” the first great Russian film. At the Wardman Park “Cyrano de Ber- gerac”’ will be shown. Our Own Kate Smith Visits the Capital Kate Smith, Washington’s favorite “blues” singer, remembered as a popu- lar member of the Crandall Saturday Nighters when that broadcasting unit was taking the air through station WRC, and for numerous local theat- rical engagements, among which may be mentioned full weeks at Crandall’s Metropolitan and at the Earle Theater, was a visitor to the executive offices of the Stanley-Crandall Co. last Mon- day morning. Miss Smith is one of the hits of “Honeymoon Lane,” Eddie Dowling’s musical comedy, now in its forty-third week in the Knickerbocker Theater in New York, where it has played continuously to capacity busi- ness. It was thought a short time ago that “Honeymoon Lane” would close during August, to give the members of the cast and chorus a much-needed rest, but the run continues so suc- cessfully to capacity that the present outlook is that a full year will rounded out in the Knickerbocker on Broadway. jaunt to her home |} month. and | originators of “How High Is Up?” The | | photoplay feature will be Paramount’s | |production of “Afraid to Love,” in which Florence Vidor and Clive Brooks are the pictured stars. | “The Callahans and the Murphys,” a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy comes to Loew’s Palace Theater the week be- ginning Sunday, July 17.

Thursday's “Theatrical Night” marks another peak of entertainment for the week, when visiting theatrical artiste and the midnight revue of the Le Para- dis Band will combine to give the ut- most in gaiety. The Le Paradis Band, fresh from a successful Keith vaude- ville engagement, Jack Golden, direct- ing, is planning a new midnight revue.

Too, in the opinion of some admirer there may be a star; but, judged from the plays presented, there is no star, since they are all stars. A paradox, but true: Where all are stars there is no star. In the official roster, where the hand that writes the pay checks keeps tabs, there may be one who draws emolument far greater than that of his fellows—and. this should be so, since there are varying degrees of awarding awards. Outside of that, and looking over the list of plays and players, the thing that has made the National Players an outstanding group in the theatricals of America is the. old Y. M. C. A. catchword, teamwork. : : Years ago, in all the drives for membership, in the collection of funds, in the building up of morale, and what not, the energetic little fellows who whipped everybody into line, and got results, dwelt on teamwork. It perhaps was the beginning of the pernicious go-getter type in America, and, therefore, something that should bring the blush of shame to American cheeks; but, nonetheless, it had its finer points. If teamwork, the kind more happily associated with the winning of great races among college crews, and the establishment of champion baseball and football teams in collegiate circles, brought about the successful combination now happily holding forth on the stage of the National Theater, no man jack will say it nay. a J * T° is with some pleasure that the commentators on all things the- atrical in this man’s town suffer the departure of winter and the arrival of the summer months; those glorious days that usher in the announcement that the National Theater Players are coming back to the old stand. In the front line trenches all winter, seeing the good, bad and mostly the indifferent in drama, the boys have what really might be called .a vacation when the players put in appearance. The players go to work with a vengeance. They come to brave the heat, or whatever awaits them in the form of weather, and the diffi- cult work of handling three plays in one—getting rid of last week’s, playing this week, and preparing for the seven days ahead. That, of course, is no baby’s play. Yet, when the curtain goes up on any given Monday night, there they are—starless, and unafraid—ready to de- liver the well-known goods. In name and title there are, of course, leading lady and leading man, but to all intents and purposes even these do not exist. The National Theater Players, without following in anybody’s footsteps, have sort of emulated the example of the Moscow Art Players. So it is no great surprise to see the so-called leading man this week playing @ part somewhat subservient to a second man; or the leading lady struggling for honors with a minor member of the cast. In the tussle, if this minor member comes out slightly ahead of the game, it makes no never mind, for next week things will right themselves, So it comes that summer stock as they know it here in Washington takes a deadly crack at ths-stay system—a system that has caused more worry and fatigue among producing managers than any other institution within the realm of theaterdom. At the same time, this is the method of developing stars—a method that held high vogue in the years agone, when the real stars of America were working heart and soul in the great companies that left heritages to the theater; + memories that will never be forgotten. > - ak. .

Which, in the movies, means prac- ttically all salaries. It’s rather a shock when you've bought yourself an installment plan house and an installment plan car and an installment plan radio to find that you’re not going to have enough money in the fall to meet the installments; and Hollywood was naturally enraged. The other producers hesitated. Then Jesse Lasky offered himself as the scapegoat and proceeded to knock 10 per cent flat off all salaries jn his organizations, Dazed and incredulous, his scenario writers and framatic talent said nothing—out loud, But in private they remarked that as long as they got 90 per cent salary they gave 90 per cent service;or words to that effect. The gen- eral idea seemed to be that though, in the old days, as everyone knows, they would work up enough enthusiasm on a picture to take shots and rehearse as long as their feet would carry them, that naive life was over. From then on, they gave what they get. So far, Lasky seems to have sacrificed himself for nothing. For the other producers, buried beneath an avalanche of protest, have promised to let the present salaries stand—at least till August 1— with a threat of bringing the matter up again at that time. In the meantime, movie actors and actresses, thoroughly scared, are considering coming into the Equity—that famous actors’ trade union which in addition to charity and other work prevents just such disasters 3 as that which threatens the youth and beauty of Holly- camera men and to its member wood. The softening of producers’ hearts, so to speak, this week, is said to have been caused—partly at least—by a famous organization on the coast, It is known as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, It is supposed unite all branches of motion picture activity into one body for the purpose of advancing the interests of the same, It its 294 members most of the best known directors, writers, actors, producers and technicians, But Hollywood’s great majority of more humble and obscure toilers feel that it is just a bit haughty and even highbrow. They feel that it has formed a social four hundred, or rather two hundred and ninety- four, that intends to be a self-elected aristocracy of Hollywood. Which, after all, is a bit ungrateful after the way the academy crashed through this week and protested volubly and potently to the proposed wage cut—a wage cut that would affect the humble more closely than the great. Douglas Fairbanks is president of the academy. And on the execu- tive committee are such names as Mary Pickford, Conrad Nagel and Milton Sills. + LO includes in 7 o 7 the Vilma-Banky-Rod la Rocque wedding was - In theater parlance, WOW, All Hollywood was there—a mere 2,500 invitations having been ued—and wise cracks flew thick and fast. | Apparently the 2,500 guests chose just about as many varieties of | costume. One director arrived in a business suit, with accessories | including a top hat and a cane belonging to Cecil B. de Mille. Others | had apparently ransacked the wardrobe rooms of the studios for silk | hats and cutaways of the vintage of 1903 or thereabouts—such outfits | not being the usual mode for the well-dressed man in Hollywood, where | it would be much easier to collect 1,000 Arabs, chinks or cowboys than 1,000 back pages from Vanity Fair. Tom Mix pulled the best .one | (though he spoiled it by laughing himself) by arriving in a coach and | four, wearing his famous 10-gallon hat. All Hollywood was there, all right. Except, as Tom Mix said, Monte Blue—probably because Monte looks so much like La Rocque that it might have caused confusion. Goldwyn, the producer, gave the bride away (that being, one of his underlings remarked, the first thing he has given away in ten years). But there was a slight hitch before they reached the altar. The organ started to play the wedding march, all the people rose in the conventional way to peer at the bride—and no bride appeared to be peered at. Another underling suggested Goldwyn and De Mille over the wedding contract; but it seemed that they were merely shots of the wedding procession in the frone of the church, And, as you must have seen by the papers, they finally were married. . * ° * is- were arguing taking Don’t let anybody tell you that all the moments when you clutch your escort’s arm in terror at the movies are “trick” photography or studio fakes.

She has had Hollywood at her feet for several years. Each spring the Studio Electricians, an organization of the men who furnish the lighting of sets in all motion pic- ture studios, have a ball, and ballot for the choice of a queen. Miss La Plante won over all the other stars as being the most popular with the electricians, a tribute to her charm and democracy. Her beautiful dimpled chin, her soft voice and her willingness to always give help to those in trouble won for her this rare tribute. ““Won’t Take a Chance.’’ Marion Harris, the “Blues Singer,” who comes to Keith’s this week in a new cycle of songs, is still unmarried. Young, attractive, it has always been a wonder her friends why she has never mafried. Miss Harris has even been approached on the subject, and recently an interviewer drew out the reason, “Marriage, of course, is all very well,” says Marion, “but I’m a stanch sup- porter of single-blessedness. Marriage for those who like it, is my motto. Personally, without it. a husband? I’ve heard that husbands are very much like hats—some of them I get along splendidly What would I ever do with fit; some of them don’t fit. “Love? An overworked word, to my notion. Few people are really in love when they marry. They just feel that they’re being left behind, and conse- quently set out to grab the first fellow or girl that happens along. If ever I fall in love—with a man, I mean—I will probably marry him—that is, if he’s willing to marry. But until that day comes I’m not taking any chances.” MUSIC AND MUSICIA NS By ELISABETH E. POE, HY does not Washington support W its musical activities properly? is the question which arises naturally to the mind when the news comes that worthy endeavors here are not given the moral and financial back- ing they deserve. For instance, take the District Feder- ation of Music Clubs. This organiza- tion under a capable leader and with conscientious directors has announced in its president’s annual report as fol- lows: “While I feel that our influence for good music and particularly for civic coperative music has been stronger than ever the past season, I regret to Say that our mémbership is falling off—both in clubs and individuals. “We have lost two senior clubs, three church choirs, one junior club and one junior choir and have gotten no new senior clubs and only three new junior clubs this.spring.” Surely auy club or choir in Wash- ington should be proud to link hands with their comrades in the music field to stimulate the appreciation of lay- men and to further the common goal of making the National Capital the musical center of America. We must get together and pull to- gether if we want Washington to fulfil this ideal A number of Washington music | lovers have gone to Salzburg, Austria, | to attend the great musical festival | there from July 30 to August 28. Acs! cording to the program the festival | will surpass all previous ones and many | novelties are promised in the musical | lines. Miss Esther Linkins, president of the | pangs of Columbia Federation of Mu- | c Clubs, has made a summary of the | Ww iwents of the federation for the last year. | In recording purely local matters Miss | Linkins told of the District of Columbia | official song contest as follows: “The contest for a suitable poem, launched last summer under the able direction of Miss Goodwin, was unsuc- cessful. The five judges—Carl Engel, Mrs, William Wolff Smith, Mrs. Gideon A. Lyon, Mrs, Faith Van Valkenburgh Vilas and Harold Randolph—reported that none of the 250 poems submitted was worthy of award. “Mrs. Stoddard, chairman for settle- ment music, has done outstanding work in having organized a new choral club in Friendship House and one at Noel House and in continuing work with her club at Neighborhood House, the last-named club having given defi- nite evidence of Mrs. Stoddard’s effi- ciency in the junior concert. “Mrs. C. McRoberts contributed a fine unit of work in organizing Christ- mas caroling for more than a dozen homes and institutions wanting it. “The work of Miss Pearl Waugh in having supplied fifteen homes and in- stitutions with 70 concerts during the season should be highly commended. “And, last, but by no means least, of the first two capably conducted by Mrs. Lyon and the last by Miss B. Godowin. “Mrs, Lyon’s first contest was the preliminary contest of the sesqui inter- State contest conducted in the Church of the Holy City October 8, and her second was the national federation State contest, held March 9 in the Na- tional Baptist Memorial Church. “In the former contest, Washington sent four contestants—voice, piano, vio- to compete in the semifinals. Two wins ners entered the finals and, while they were not winners in Philadelphia, they returned feeling the experience had been valuable.’ The symphony orchestra has been referred to as the greatest of all mus- Those who have seen plays upon at will, touching a string here, sounding a brass note there, as the mood of the composer may indi- cate. And orchestras have as distinct personalities as individual musicians. For instance, in its interpretation of the Second Hungarian Rhapsody of Liszt, Just recorded by the Philadelphia Orchestra. under the direction of Leo- pold Stokowski, for Victor, the indi- viduality of this musical organization is very strongly in evidence. It is recorded in its entirety by the full orchestra of 180 men, and is one of the striking achievements of the new proc- ess of recording. From the opening of the slow “lassan” to the close of the Wild “friska,” it is an amazing and inspiring rendition. There is also a new recording of that most popular of all Italian over- tures, Rossini’s “Willlam Tell Over- ture,” as played by the Victor Sym- phony Orchestra. It is a finished per- formance, and is complete on two rec- ords. Miss Lillian Chenoweth, accompanied by her mother, Mrs, Elizabeth Chenow- eth, left last night for a trip to the coast.

(Copyright. 127.) HAVEN With Lllustrations by Armstrong Sperry ] CHAPTER LX. The Resolve. N THE face of Christine’s statement, l Lewis Hayes swayed and would have fallen, if she had not held his arm firmly. Very gently, she helped him to a seat in the grimy hall. It tore at her heart to see him so white and feeble. “Lew, dear, you must not take what I said in this way. It’s quite all right, only—well, I'd rather you’d told me the truth in the first place. It hurts me to think you wanted to go away and hide, instead of sending for me to help you.’ ‘Why should you suffer because I’ve been fool enough not to take proper care of myself?” he muttered. “Didn’t you take care of me? Didn't you do everything in your power for me and the children, when I was ill with pneumonia and lost my job?” He waved that aside. “And so you thought that, by pre- tending to be in love with another woman and wanting to marry her, you would get your freedom from me— freedom to crawl off in a corner and suffer all alone?” she persisted gently. “Why not?” he demanded, with as much fierceness as his weakness would permit. ‘“‘Why should I keep you tied to me until the end? It may be a long time coming. One lingers, un- fortunately, with this disease. I never knew when some well-meaning person would take it into his head to write to you and tell you—misunderstanding our relationship, of course, and think- ing you would care as a wife might, not in the friendly way that you do.” She winced, despite herself. “Didn’t it ever occur to you that I would want to know? That I would hate myself, if—if anything happened to you?” He looked up at her with haggard eyes. “That’s why I thought I had it all fixed so that you would never know the truth. I’m going to a charity hos- pital soon. It’s pretty late and not like- ly to do much good, but I'll give ita try. That’s why we must hurry with take me, if a wife inn He got fumbled in his pockets. “T’ve money, Chris. cab? walk.” She took his arm again and gently guided him toward the door. e only.” I’m afaid I’m not up to a long tle restaurant I noticed when I got off the car. I’m hungry. “That’s a good idea,” he approved. “We can phone for a cab there, too.” The little restaurant was not much more than a lunchroom, but it looked clean and the bill of fare was substan- tial. Christine, looking at Lewis’ gaunt cheeks, ordered a meal suitable for an invalid, and, despite his insistence that he had no appetite, she persuaded him to eat. She wasn't hungry. Food fairly choked her. She had to fight against her tears. That Lew should have come to this! Her concern over him deadened the pain in her heart—the agony of having Vane go out of her life forever. When Lewis had finished eating, she suggested: “Pipe, Lew?” He shook his head sadly. “No more. Not with this complaint.” She opened her purse in a business- like manner. “We'll split the check,” she an- nounced. “I’m a business woman, re- member.” He flushed painfully. “Not with me, Chris. Don’t worry, I have enough, but—-well, I—I’m afraid I when we get to the courthouse.” She folded her slim cheap marble-topped table. : “We' re not going to the courthouse, ew. “What do you mean?” “I’m not going to give you an an- nulment,” ske announced’ calmly. operation,” He went whiter than ever. “Are you trying to torture HOT HAM |)! ost ll 25f ivi’ Ap | au OUR | APPLE PIE | need be—where you can have fresh air and sunshine, and Louise and I will look after you.” Even as she said it, so confidently, money was to come from, this annulment business— they won't | ve a living relative—even | his feet with difficulty and | Will you call a| “We're not going far—just to the lit- | It’s nearly luncheon time, and | may have to let you pay for the taxi, hands on the “And you can’t get one without my co- me, She had to fight against her tears. to this, she was wondering where on earth the | but she | didn’t let him see that she was worried. ’ That Lew should have come It was one of those crises where the will makes a way from sheer necessity.

R. writes: You state that “birthmarks are not made that way.” How, then, are they | made? Now. listen, please. There occurred a fire across the street from where a woman was with child, about 4 or 5 months along. This woman, while looking out of her win- dow, saw a woman rush through the fire (?) carrying a baby. The sight terrified her so that she put her hands to her face, covering her eyes, and sank into a chair, where she remained until she was told that the fire was out and that the mother and the baby were all right. She was consoled and was soon her normal self again, forgetting com- paratively all about it. When her baby was born its face was marked with two hands spread over it, just as the mother had done at the time of the fire. If this is a “myth,” what is not? Of course, I know of many other cases caused by unsatisfied appetite. Now, doctor, give us as extensive a reply as you have space and patience for and please many besides myself. REPLY. The skin of a baby 4 to 5 months on the way to birth is just as com- plete as it will be at birth. If sa mother could wish a mark on the skin at that period of the baby’s develop- ment, she could wish a mark on the cheek of her baby after birth: Further- more, a baby 4 to 5 months toward de- velopment lies inside a heavy wall bag. This bag is not penetrated or crossed by nerves or anything else of any kind except certain. constituents of the blood. There is, therefore, absolutely no mechanism through which a mental shock experienced by the mother could register on the body of the baby. The entire subject: was scientifically | proved by William Hunter centuries ago. THE FE. HOW TO KEEP WELL A. EVANS There are many well-intentioned people in the latter group. The first group is not so harmless. In this particular instance you did not make out ‘much of a case. The woman seemed to have been emotion- ally disturbed for a few minutes, but after that she almost forgot the experi- ence. How much do you know about the many other experiences of “this woman during pregnancy? How much have you studied the forces gwhich cause the proper development of the blood vessels of the skin in an unborn child? Until you know something of these you will not be able to tell why birthmarks. Meanwhile, there is no basis for bringing anxiety and fear into the lives of pregnant women. STYES SIGN OF EYESTRAIN, E. R. C. writes: 1. After the age of 7 years is it likely or possible that a child could develop a crossed eye? 2.. Are frequent styes a sign of eye- strain? REPLY. 1, Yes. 2, Yes. Many French Waiters Now Are Foreigners Paris, July 9 (By A. P.).—Twenty per cent of the men who serve drinks and food in Paris cafes and restaurants are foreigners. In order to be sure of being served by a Frenchman, just as the travel agencies picture it, the tourist should go to one of the cafes near the Place de l’Opera,. where during the summer more than half of the clientele is for- eign. In that region 93 per cent of the waiters are French. ; ss i es 4 MONTAN NA the cowboy banjoist, at the Loew’s Palace Theater. A Few Left.

Australia has taken this medium of instru ‘on u” to @ surpris- ing extent. Even little Denmark has made it a part of the daily school rou- tine, in fact, going all the rest one bet- ter by possibly the most adequate gov- érnmental appropriation for the pur- chase of sets any country has yet made. But Uncle Sam slumbers on. When it became known recently that no less a person than Walter Damrosch would give his future time and attention to the development of a plan to provide a series of concerts, supplemented by his admirable musical talks, in an ef- fort to reach the students of American schools and colleges, the announcement was greeted with an apathetic response by our leading educators Educational Yet, in Development in Fall. spite of this, the details of the plan are rapidly being developed. Merlin H. Aylesworth, president of the National Broadcasting Co., has declared his intention to make the inspiring talks of Mr. Damrosch available to at least a portion of the 25,000,000 stu- dents of the country As a result, it may be confidently predicted that this educational work will be an outstanding development in the 1927-28 radio season. How much support will be given by the United States Bureau of Education, the State and city school authorities, and the National Education Association remains to be seen. At first not much encouragement was given to the movement in England. However, now, in addition to reception of special events during the week, wire- less is allowed to be transmitted in London schools the last half of each Friday afternoon. There just comes to hand the new British summer term program of radio school talks to meet the requirements of the local educa- tional authorities. From the Birmingham station there will be a special broadcast for schools every week day, with the exception of Saturday. On Thursdays H. W. Bal- , B. A. will lecture on “Animal and lectures specially adapted for secondary schools will be given by Prof. F. W.

In the Glasgow program of schools transmissions are talks by Mrs. J. H. Murray, “Stories from History,” Rich-| ard Elmhurst, who will deal with marine life, and W. M. Gregory, who will lec- | ture on “Science in Everyday Life.” | * “Bournemouth is relying on the Lon- | don school broadcasts for the reason that it was unanimously decided that owing to their excellent quality last | term it would be better to take the] full London program in the coming term.

The wireless contact with the outer world to be as helpful and inspiring to the teacher and parent as to the student, The following letter from a _ school teacher out there pretty well tells the story: “Finding myself a school teacher in a more than usually dead district, I was faced with long, monotonous eve- nings and seemingly endless week-ends. My bush scholars way backs—fine sturdy lads and lasses, but with the narrow Outleok of their environment. narrow outlook of the environment. “One day I installed a wireless set in the .school and turned on to Station tive talk.

We followed Cob- ham’s flight in geography lessons. This flight was from England to India and Australia, the children carry home what they hear and new and varied interests in dife are aroused.” ‘ Another teacher in a small Mallee town wrote: Current Events to School Rooms, “The description of the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of York was so good that my school children were able to follow every aspect of the royal prog- ress at Sydney. They will go through life with a recollection of the events as vivid, almost as though they were actually present at their royal high- nesses’ arrival.” Thus if ovr schools had been equip- | ped, the not-soon-to-be-fo :oiten re- ception of Lindbergh in New ‘York and Washington could have been brought to them along with the voice of the President of the United States.

A writer on the subject has rightly said: “If a curriculum is so rigid as to ex- clude such vast possibilities of seeing and listening to the world’s activities as are offered by the cinema and the radio, it might be well to reconsider that curriculum.” Interference Reports Asked by Radio Heads T Federal Radio Commission has asked Chief Radio Supervisor Terrell to secure reports on interference under the new allocations. Supervisor Terrell, in turn, has sent a letter to each of the supervisors, asking them to advise him of the ex- tent of the interference between the broadcasting stations, due to hetero- cyning and other effects of the new al- locations. He has requested the su- pervisors to submit reports at least weekly. Will Control 16 Stations, Widely Scattered. NOVEL IDEAS PLANNED Furnished by World Artists; To hurnish Programs.

Rogers, will open the program. This well-known composer is a native of Fair Haven, Conn., and received his early education at Lake Forest, III. From childhood he devoted his life to music as a major study. For five years he studied under masters in Europe, later settling in Cleve- land, where he has been engaged as organist, teacher, composer and critic. Helen Fromer’s “A Smile,” dedicated to Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, will be broadcast for the first time: Mr. Althouse will also feature the tenor aria “‘La Fleur Que tu M’Avais Jetee,” from the first act of Bizet’s opera, ‘‘Carmen,” which he frequently sang with singular success at the Metropolitan Opera Company performances. This selection is re- garded as one of the greatest arias for the tenor voice. The complete program is as follows: “The Last Song’ (Rogers), “Moon Marketing” (Carver), “Little House of Dreams” (Glass), “La Fleur Que tu M’Avais Jetee” (Bizet), “‘Sacrament’”” (MacDermid), “A Smile’?

Training Capacity Placed at 110 Men. The instruction of radio operators for , the naval service is carried on at the) radio operating schools at Hampton Roads, Va., and San Diego, Calif., where students from the four naval training stations are sent for a period of four- teen weeks. During th2 fiscal year 1926-1927, 248 enlisted men were graduated from these two schools with sufficient knowledge of radio operation to take a cruising watch at sea. These men on being sent to sea were given the designation of seaman radioman, and at the gay of sixteen months’ total service will be eligible, upon examination, for the rat- ing of radioman, third class. Enlisted men are allowed to ship over for the radio operating school, so that from all sources between 30 and 40 men enter in the San Diego school every three weeks. The course of instruction in the Radio Operating School covers a period of 14 weeks. The first three weeks, | the entering students are organized | into a probationary class, where they are given elementary training in opera- tion and penmanship and equipped with text books and telephones, At the expiration of the probationary period, those who have given sufficient indication of their aptness for radio work are graduated into the radio school proper, the others being dropped and sent to the transfer unit, whence they are eventually sent to sea. The capacity of the radio school proper is about 110 men, each of which has daily two periods of theory, procedure and operating. The course of naval procedure is entirely practical, consisting in the reception and trans- mission of actual messages in naval procedure by buzzer. The course in operation has for its object the training of the students to transmit clearly at a speed of 13 words |per minute and to copy by pencil and | typewriter mixed code at 15 words per minute and plain English at 20 words per minute. | | | | DIPLOMA IN LATIN TD EASE ADMIRAL Radio Commissioner Trans- lates Document Given Bullard by College. OFFICER WAS VICTIM OF HIS FRIEND’S JOKE Had Been Told Honorary Degree Made Him Air Commander. When Admiral Bullard, chairman of the Federal TItadio Commission, re- turned to Washington recently from Hartford, Conn., where he had been given an honorary degree of doctor of science at Trinity College, it is said one of his old friends at the Army and Navy Club, pretty much of a wag, having had a glance at the diploma, remarked that the college authorities must have been having a little fun at the admiral’s expense. “Here it says,” his friend went on, pretending to read the diploma, which was in Latin, “that this makes you who were the high admiral of the waves now the high admiral of the air, and that having had the opportunity of riding the waves of the sea, this gives you the privilege of riding the waves of the air.” Encouraged by the admiral’s apparent consternation, the friend is said to have added considerable more informa- tion of a humorous character which, | he gave the impression, that the docu- | ment set forth. Whereupon the admiral’s curiosity | became aroused, and it having been a long time ago since he had read any Latin, he turned to Commissioner | H. A. Bellows, asking him if he could make anything out of it. Read It at Sight. To his amazement, Commissioner Bel- | lows took the document, which wowld | have floored nine out of ten men not! up on their Latin, and read it off with the ease that an ordinary person reads an inscription in English. It proved to be the conventional | wording of the usual diploma and of |course not to contain any of the hu- morous references attributed to it. The mystery of Commissioner lows so nonchalantly being able read it off was explained by the fact that in addition to his being a Har- vard graduate, and a former member of the faculties of both Harvard and | the University of Minnesota, Mr. Bel- | lows has made quite a name for himself | | | ' ' } ' as a translator, notably of the “His- toria Calamitatum” -of Abelard and the ‘Poetic Edda,” the last translation having been done for the American Scandinavian Society. After wrestling with such musty old documents as those, the translation of the admiral’s Latin diploma proved the easiest of tasks. Fruit Growers Use Radio.

Radio messages can now be exchanged directly between the Marconi stations in the United States and their station in Portugal.

Mr. Whittemore made an enviable record as the secretary of the first three of the national, or as they were pop- ' ularly known, ‘Hoover radio conferences in Washington. In addition to this experience and an unusual amount of personal tact which he possesses, Mr. Whittemore is a tech- nical radio expert of high standing. He entered the Government service in | the Bureau of Standards as an assist- ant physicist and subsequently became secretary of the interdepartmental ra- dio supervisory committee.

It now develops, that the com- _pany’s laboratories have been working steadily for three years to perfect an instrument to supply B power and has } produced a unit with a number of new | features, the most important of which |is a gas tube with a life in excess of 0 | 2,000 hours. 1:00| , It is asserted that the new product is -og | free from “hum,” which has been one 09 | clement of uncertainty in B-eliminators ‘00 | heretofore. Another feature is that the 700 , operation of the B unit is automatic, 700 | due to a built-in “relay” which is act- 2:00; uated by the power supply switch on 700 | the receiving set. Provision is also made 1:00\ for connecting the A battery anc pS _ charger to the B unit, in which case the ‘00 |relay aiso automatically starts and stops -99 | the charger. The new instrument is de- | signed for alternating current, 60-cycle | circuits with, 110 to 115 volts. A radical departure in appearance is revealed in one of the new models of re- | ceiving sets. The single dial, which char- acterized the company’s “line” last sea- |son, is retained in this and all other models, but the new set is higher and more nearly square, as a consequence of ,extensive “shielding,” which is sald to give “super selectivity.” One of the most interesting products |of the new line is a circular speaker | which, like the B unit, is brought out | only after three years of laboratory ex- | perimentation. A new method of cone suspension is employed, by which the 0 edges of the vibrating field are kept ‘free from contact with anything else, | thus permitting it to respond to the -og | faintest vibrations over its entire sur- 00 | face.

Ridley McLean, formerly chief | of naval communications, who has now become an admiral, and Commander Stanford C. Hooper, head of the radio division, Bureau of Engineering, who has been elevated to a captaincy. Admiral McLean, having completed his tour of duty at naval communica- tions, is now in command of the sub- marine division of the battle fleet. Capt. Hooper, one of the outstanding radio experts of the Navy, along with Rear Admiral W. H. G. Bullard, retired, now chairman of the Federal Radio Com- mission, is credited with having in-|' spired the organization of the Radio Corporation of America. The British Marconi Co. was bidding for some American patents for which there was no market at the time in this country. Rather than let rights get out of our hands, it Was the sug- gestion of Bullard and Hooper that, for patriotic reasons, an American com- pany be formed to take them over. The suggestion was acted upon, which re- sulted in the forming of the now known Radio Corporation of America. RADIO USERS CHECKED BY SETS PRODUCERS Radio manufacturers have recently been holding a stop watch on the average radio user, in order to more properly design sets for the listeners’ pleasure. Time as an element which has to be considered in the production of power equipment for radio operation is really a vital factor, according to the radio division of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association; which has just issued information showing how long people listen to the radio in a given week. The study, which is based on the per cent of listeners using radio re- ceivers in excess of any given number of hours per week, shows that about one-tenth of 1 per cent of all radio listeners use a set in excess of 140 hours each week; 1 per cent use it‘in excess of 100 hours, 10 per cent in excess of 50 hours, 20 per cent in ex- cess of 45 hours, 30 per cent in excess of 35 hours, 50 per cent in excess of 38 hours and 80 per cent‘in excess of 30. hours. / | Feature Events During'Coming Week WRC; 8 p. m., Maxwell Hour, WJZ. pany, WRC.

‘PUT OF PLUMBING TRADE GREAT TOPI IN MATIONAL MEET Every Section of United States Represented at Minne- apolis Convention. DELEGATES ENDEAVOR TO CARRY OUT WISHES Soliciting Contributions From Manufacturer Held Undigni- fied and Humiliating. At Minneapolis recently, men engaged as contractors in the installation of plumbing and heating, met as delegates representing their fellow craftsmen who comprise the membership of the Na- tional Association of Master Plumbers. From every section of the United States they carke, chosen as the brains and in- telligence of the craft, for the universal purpose of trade uplift and advance- ment. : This great organization of master mechanics celebrating its forty-fifth an- nual meeting is an incoporated body proudly possessing a charter, constitu- tion and by-laws, which clearly define its exceptional aims and objects, all of which are entirely free from mercenary insinuation. The far-sighted and able incorpora- tors were evidently animated with the sole philanthropic ambition of provid- ing a ways and means for trade frater- nity and educational advancement. Throughout their wonderfully’ well written governing laws are found re- peated references to the trade’s great need for proper understanding and ap- preciation of the dignity and responsi- bility attached to the conduct of its honorable calling, as well as its relation to public health; a greater dignity for the trade, free from all old-time rave- nous, so-called humorous, low down ridicule and abuse; a dignity demand- ing the. careful regulation of each in- dividual’s business activity, so as to in- sure respect and approval of his com- munity. The responsibilities of the master plumber are many and growing, both as an individual and as to his relation- ship with the public at large. He is now being happily regarded as an important factor in the preservation and safe- guarding of the public health. Thus it came about as a part of the organization’s duties that Minneapolis was solicitously chosen as the scene for this year’s annual convention, and right faithfully and earnestly did the chosen delegates endeavor to carry out the wishes of their constituents and live up to the organization’s aspirations. Soliciting Is Undignified. Having in mind aims, objects, dig- nity and responsibility, may we be par- cdoned if, with the best of intentions, we make reference to another feature which seems to us to posses situations fraught with potentialities that may eventually somewhat ‘handicap tie worthy intent of the organization. Speaking freely, as among friends, we refer to the manner and cost of con- -vention entertainment. In the past the organization has gone on record as opposed to great and costly entertain- ment. If each city endeavors to out- strip all previous efforts, will it be pos- sible, in the days to come, to find a meeting place able to receive and hold our well-attended gatherings? All work and no play is against every rule and precedent. Too much of each is unwholesome and unprofitable. There Should be reason in all things. In their pardonable anxiety to act the part of warm and generous hosts, local or- ganizations enter into considerable ex- pense. Are the ways by which money must be obtained as carefully calculated as the part of wisdom should dictate? Too frequently, we regret to say, docs our trade, unfortunately end without the proper reflection, assume that the ones from whom they purchase ma- terials should be called upon to con- tribute. The soliciting of donations or con- tributions from manufacturer and job- ber is undignified and humiliating. as Outside funds are secured, the dona- tors, and not the master plumbers, are the hosts? Is our trade’s dignity upheld and enhanced by placing itself under obligation to manufacturer and whole- saler through soliciting funds for en- tertainment, programs or other adver- tising schemes? We believe it is well and intelligibly fitted to successfully carry out any obligation it may, with judgment, enter into, currying favor with no one, requiring assistance from no one. Embarrassing responsibilities and humiliating obligations do not contri- bute to trade dignity and reliant self- | assertiveness. Convention Was Enthusiastic. The Minneapolis convention was an enthusiastic one. More than the aver- age number of delegates attended and took clear-headed part in the daily routine. “Able discussidns of vital im- port to the eniertainment and educational profit. The class of exhibits was exceptional- ly good. It is pubiic, being cliizens of the Twin Ci*ies, were viewing for themselves just what the master plumber can do to render them comfort and luxury, as well as safe- guard the health of their homes. The primary object of these annual exhibits is to enable the public to inspect the latest sanitary devices for home com- fort and health and thereby secure a better understanding of the plumbing or heating contractor who installs them. The Minneapolis and St. Paul master plumbers were genial hosts. They ex- tended every courtesy in welcoming and making comfortable their visiting craftsmen and friends, and that, in the final analysis, is the acme of hospi- tality There is vast opportunity for our trade and its organization to carry on the real, serious, dignified intentions of its incorporated body. The work of the scholarship commit- tee stands out a8 a glorious and shin- ing example of what our trade may undertake with honor and credit to its calling. Can Install Sprinklers. Ever since the inception of the idea that automatic sprinklers installed in buildings would extinguish fires and prevent excessive fire loss, the business of installing sprinkler systems has been in the hands of a few concerns outside of the plumbing and heating indus- tries. It appeared that plumbing and heating contractors were not welcome within the realms of the sprinkler sys- tems’ domain until quite recently, and now matters are arranged so that plumbing and heating contractors can go into the sprinkler business success- fully and accomplish results quite satisfactory to the fire insurance asso- ciations and other agencies which have authority over the fire protection prob- lem. It is a recognized fact that no men in the world are more competent to install steam, gas or water piping than master plumbers and heating contrac- tors, Sl on eoemuikier systems are prin- trade provided serious | FRATERNAL NEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5. of 15, under the direction of Harry C.

After all, isn’t it plain to be seen that | The council cipally composed of pipes and fittings, it foliows that sprinkler systems are right in line with their regular work. It seems to us that the country re- quires more and more fire protection, particularly that kind of protection which is automatic in character, such as sprinkler systems, and in view of the fact that insurance companies give building owners substantial reductions in insurance rates sufficient to pay for sprinkler installations within a reason- able period of time, it follows that there must be a large and ever-grow- ing demand for sprinkler protection in important buildings of all types. It is our opinion, and we wish to impress it as firmly on the trade as possible, that plumbing and heating contractors who are equipped to handle sprinkler systems and who are located in those sections of the country where sprinkler systems ought to be in de- mand, should make it a special point to investigate the vast -possibilities of this line which is now open to them. PLUMBERS DECLARED regrettable that the in this case the good | not | better posted as to the opportunity otf | -DESERVING OF PRAISE Niche for Them Urged as Among Benefactors of Mankind. Our Nation’s history is filled with the accounts of men who have struggled against discouragement and lack of ap- preciation in their efforts to bring serv- ice of value to the country. For exam- ple: Ben Franklin, and his experi- ments with electricity—Fulton, and his steamboat—Morse, and the telegraph— McCormick, and the reaper — Edison, and the phonograph —Bell,. and the telephone, and countless others to whom we now give just praise. But how often do you hear any praise for the men who met the prob- lem of supplying pure water, and of carrying the sewage and waste from our modern homes and buildings? Without the efforts of plumbers, our cities would be at the mercy of devas- tating plagues despite the efforts of the medical men. The sanitation en- gineer and plumber released New Or- leans from the fear of the yellow fever’s return. The humble plumber, who often la- bors in filth and grime—surely, he, too, is worthy of praise. Our physicians and surgeons have performed near-miracles, in the way of cures and operations. But even they would be almost helpless to combat epidemic disease if it were not for the means of sanitation design- ed, installed and maintained by the, plumber. It is often the lot of these public servants to be ridiculed and criticized by unthinking people. But take away their services, and what a howl would then arise. Should we not recognize the plumber as a praiseworthy servant in the community? In their unpleasant work, they earn a fair meed of praise; for without them the modern com munity would be impossible because uncontrolled disease. ° requests the members to be present for the installation exercises and degree work tomorrow evening.

INSPECTORS ARE KEPT AT SOURCES OF SUPPLY Extensive Experiments Are Conducted at Physical Lab- oratory of Factory. Nothing is left to chance in building cars at the plants of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation. Every part subject to stress and strain in both the Hupmo- bile Six and Eight is checked and test- ed before being permitted to enter the construction of either car. This process begins even before ma- terials reach the Hupp plants. The company keeps its own inspectors in many of the sources from which it buys materials. Their duty is to see that these materials are made in strict con- formance to its standards, which are, in scores of instances, the highest in the entire automotive industry. To the obvious advantages of maintaining these inspectors at the sources of sup- ply is the additional onevof eliminating unnecessary shipping, further lowering cost. Engineers long ago determined the individual stress on each part of the cars they build. Their next duty called for them to ascertain the proper factor | of safety and, knowing that, to test and retest constantly the various parts to determine that this factor actually is built into each.

Characteristic of its policies for near- ly twenty years, Hupmobile demands that every part of its cars be fully competent to withstand strains far greater than even abusive driving will probably ever heap on it. Rear axle shafts in both its six and eight cylinder cars, for example, must withstand tests up to 140,000 pounds per square inch of elastic limit. As the severest road stress on its rear axles is less than 20,000 pounds per square inch, the company provides a safety factor of eight to one in this vital part. Steering Knuckles are tested up to to-one safety factor. beams must withstand 100,000 pounds per square inch, more than a three-to- one safety margin. cap bolts and cylinder head studs are tested up to 115,000 pounds elastic egg tt gece a safety factor of six or seven to one for each.

Los Angeles’ jaywalker ordinance, that fool idea that couldn’t be put over, ts going over like a million dollars. So successful has the city’s ordinance against jay walking been that officials of other cities are continually asking the chief of police had it is done. The answer is simple. Los Angeles Car Co. just does it. ward complete elimination of sounds is taken by the adoption in the clutch of a driving disc of the rubber insulated type. This insulation of the | driving mechanism from the power im- pulse also assists in absorbing sudden strains. Metal to metal contact has been eliminated in the engine mounting of the new car, the rear supports of the » being rubber insulated. These mountings consist of a bracket fitting into the frame channel and insulated trom it by rubber. Another rubber in- Sulator is mounted on the outside of the frame web, between it and a metal plate through whjch the engine sup- port bolts pass. With complete engine insulation a short piece of cable is pro- vided between one of the left rear sup- port tS on the en gear bracket bolt, to provide a ground connection for the electrical system be- tween the engine and the frame. Incorporated in the lighting system of the new “62” are twin fllament head- lights.

Coal, however, costs more than seven times the cost in 1913. Recent decrees barred the importa- tion of fofeign coals, with few excep- tions. Trade journals say this pro- tection is not justified and that prices are almost 50 per cent too high. They demand the admission of foreign coal to put prices on a world basis. ee GABRIEL SNUBBERS.

EF. ARE GROWING GRAIN. WAR SIGNS RENIN “The Bloody Angle,” Ferme de Navarin and Others Known to Veterans. TOURS BEING ARRANGED FOR THE LEGION HOSTS Barbed Wire and Piles of Un- exploded Shells, Found in Fields, Are Visible. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Paris, July 9.—The farms of the A. E. F. How many of them can you re- member of having “worked” on? There was Les Mares Farm, above Soissons, known to the Second Division as “The Bloody Angle” There was the Ferme de Navarin in ths Champagne, where Gen. Gourand and the Second, Thirty-sixth and Forty- second (United States) divisions showed the Germans the fine voints of “the elastic defense.” There was Tronsol Farm, known to the Ninety-first Division; Serieux Farm and Chaudron Farm, between which the Thirty-fifth Division had a.line, and many farms, including the Madeleine Farm, near Romagne-sous-Montfaucon. which was the keypoint to the German defensive system, taken by the Third and Seventy-ninth divisions. The American soldiers who come back to France with the American Le- gion in September will find these farms changed somewhat during the last nine years. With the exception, perhaps, of Navarin Farm, which was so badly churned by shellfire that it never can be cultivated again. But the buildings of the others have been rebuilt and the fields are under cultivation. Every spring, during the plowing period, dozens of unexploded shells, which have worked to the surfaces, are uncovered. These are piled along the roads that once were jump-off lines, the grain soon waves in the wind, and everything is as peaceful as if there ever had been a war. Up at the “Bloody Angle” Marguerite eee ee me ne ae ee ee Jary, 8 years old, plays along the road and in the orchard with her dog, Finot She has a ready smile, and engaging, and she knows nothing about the battle that raged there in 1918. And back of the barn on the Ferme de la Madeline, Marie Therese and Madeleine Champe- nois, with their kid brother, Jean, play for hours on their rope swings while a herd of cows grazes in the luxuriant lot nearby. In the yards of every farm in the A. E. F. sector are rusted corrugated iron abris used as chicken coops, sheep sheds and shelters for farm implements. Marking the boundaries of fields are fences strung wholly with rusted barbed wire. But the shell holes have been plowed and dragged away. The fox- holes have been filled, and few who come back will ever quite be able to reconcile the peaceful landscapes with the scenes as they knew them in 1918. So, when September comes, there wilil be thousands of American war veterans “returning to the farms.” They are go- ing back to those very spots where they once handled rifies, machine guns and artillery pieces, and not plows. A group of tours has been arranged for the vet- erans by the French convention com- mittee of the American Legion and all the farms of the A. E. F. are included The Legionnaires will make the visits out of Paris. where they are to be cen- trally located during their stay in France for the ninth annual convention of the legion, to be held in the Palace Trocadere September 19-23.

J., July 9 (A.P.).-- Health certificates would me demanded from both intended bride and bride- groom when the apply to the rabbi for services in performing the marriage ceremony under a resolution adopted by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. The conference also adopted a resolu- tion expressing gratification at the “Growing numter of Christian organi- zations and representative men engaged in promoting good will between Chris- tian and Jew.” The resolution, present- ed by Dr. Abram Simon, Washington, D. C., expressed eagerness to participate in such “commendable effort,” but vigorously protested against efforts of certain missionary societies to convert Jews to Christianity. 3 Tons of Toys Taken To British Princess London, July 9 (A.

Nowhere mpromise With Quality Knowing Hupmobile’s reputa- tion for high quality, you will be frankly amazed at the extra value in beauty and equipment that now surrounds the new Hup- mobile Six—the closest- priced Six in America. A Si eCo Distinctive low body lines with varied colors, clear vision bodies; genuine mohair upholstery; tilt- ing beam headlights controlled from steering wheel; highest grade hardware; instruments grouped under glass, indirectly lighted; solid walnut steering wheel —all bespeak the attention to exterior details. Supporting these features of com- fort and luxury is an unusual ease of driving and control, due to advanced steering design and positive four-wheel brakes. Smoothness is inherent in the Hupmobile Six engine by reason of the extra heavy, rigid crank- shaft, balanced reciprocating parts, manifold heat control and a special vibration damper. Now incorporating a full 10% higher quality with no advance in price, Hupmobile Six stands out and apart as the one great Six value in the medium-priced field.

LITTLE THOUGHT GIVEN GENSE TAGS BY OWNER. Few Held Conscious of Fact That Dirt Detracts From Appearance. CAUSES BIG DIFFERENCE Among the exterior features of the automobile, the license plates are given the scantiest attention by the owner, according to police officials, garage men, automobile dealers and other ob- servers. “Tags are attached in January and removed in December, and in be- tween very few motorists ever pay the slightest heed to their condition,” said & prominent motor vehicle commis- sioner recently. Commenting on this situation, Rue dolph Jose, president of the Washing- ton-Cadillac Co., declares that it prob- ably is traceable to the fact that few motorists are conscious of the fact that, aside from its illegality, the dirty license plate detracts immeasurably from the appearance of the car. “I¥ the motor car owner will take the | trouble to notice the fact, he can de- termine within a block of city driving that, although the tag may appear in- significant, it can seriously detract from the appearance of an otherwise beautiful vehicle,” says Mr. Jose. “In this connection, it should be borne in mind that the license plate is the easiest part of the car to clean. Perhaps that accounts for the fact that it is the one feature that seems most often missed when the car is washed.” Connecticut Judges Slow Down Divorces Hartford, Conn., July 9 (A.P.).—Con- necticut juiges have enplied further brakes to divorce actions. The change in procedure came about when judges who pass upon divorce petitions received the impression that Connecticut was looked upon abroad as having “divorce mills.” Unexpectedly, attorneys for litigants found that their cases were not moving so well. The judges deemed it advisable to require ‘awyers to prepare uncon- tested cases more carefully.

Which was not to be won- dered at, for Mr. LaJotte is known to his intimates as an impulsive young man, and Miss Burke is distinctly the sort of girl some man is always falling in love with. In her home town, San Diego, Calif., no eligible young chap in her social set is considered quite grown up until he has been rejected by Noreen. Having fallen in love, Mr. LaJotte pro- ceeded to give the amused and interested passengers a thrilling close-up demonstra- tion of how to court a girl. Ships are no- toriously favorable to the quick growth of romance, and for a time the ardent young suitor seemed to be making headway. Good- looking, clever, an aviator of ability, and a former soldier, he discouraged other admirers and frankly set himself to monopolize the San Diego beauty’s waking hours. He was easily the most interesting young man on the steamer; and lost nothing of glamour in her eyes when she learned that he was Alaska-bound in quest of gold. Miss Burke was flattered, even if she was not touched. Before they parted—he to get a stake by fiy- ing supplies from Nome to the newest gold strike—he proposed to her. “I have no intention of getting married for a long time yet,’’ Noreen said, laughing. “But I’ve enjoyed our good times together on the ship.” | “You haven't seen the last of me,” said WaJotte, who is both impulsive and de- WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1927. Z 7 7 y . 1/7 M4 7 hha Thrilling Experience of the Pretty San Diego Society Girl Whose [mpet- uous Aviator Whisked Her Off Into the Hills, Only to Bring Her Sheepishly Back, Safe and Sound Miss Noreen Burke, the come- ly California maiden who was the unwilling hero- ine of world’s first airplane kidnaping termined. ‘Sometimes a girl doesn’t know herown mind, I’m not giving youup. You'll marry me in the end.’’ Miss Burke laughed again, and that was all—all until the impulsive Mr. LaJotte gave the West Coast a new thrill the other. day by kidnaping the girl and carrying her off in an airplane in a spectacular effort to get her to consent to marry him. The daring and the of LaJotte caused newspaper writers to call him ‘‘the Lochinvar of the skies,’”’ and it seems a fitting name. But, alas for the happy ending! Lochinvar’s lass, originality it will be remembered, was quite willing to be kidnaped. And Noreen Burke was not. In the power of her impetuous lover for many hours, she resisted his pleading and laughed at his raving, and when he landed her at the Rogers Airport in Los Angeles she gave him a-hard little smile and told him ‘“‘good-by forever.’? She wouldn’t swear out & warrant and have him arrested, but she wouldn’t be his bride. “It was a splendid grandstand play, maybe, but it left me quite cold,’”? she told girl friends when she was back in San Diego. Even so, the impulsive Mr. LaJotte hasn’t given up hope, although he is ready to ad- mit that maybe his courting methods have been a little bit too strenuous. It is safe to say that if he ever tries cave-man tactics again it will be dn the face of serious ob- stacles, for the fair Noreen doesn’t intend to speak to him again, or to trust herself un- attended in his Vicinity. The girl was kidnaped from Ryan Field in San Diego one pleasant Sunday afternoon, and was not restored to her worried father until late the next day. LaJotte was one of the house guests of Harold Royle, a San Diego banker, and Miss Burke’s brother-in- law. “Let us go out to the field, and I’ll take some of you up,” he suggested, and the ex- citement-hungry young people fell in with his plan at once. Mr. Royle and several others were taken up in turn, Miss Burke remaining on the ground, apparently much interested in the conversation of Dr. John Steen, her favored -cavalier of the moment, “Won't you go up, too, Doctor?” said Mr. LaJotte, looking particularly guileless. ‘‘Yes, let us, Doctor,’’ urged the fair Noreen, and the physician gallantly helped her into the plane, and started to follow her. ‘I’m testing some new shock absorbers’ today, Doctor,” said LaJotte, innocently. “Would you mind getting out and looking at them when I start the engine? I want to be sure they are working right before I leave the ground,’’ ? “Certainly,’”’ said Dr, Steen, who is an obliging soul. There is some confusion as to just what happened then. Some say the-aviator.waited politely until the physician was out of the plane. Others say that the aviator gave him a helpful little push that speeded his depar- ture. In any case, there is no question at all as to what happened next. LaJotte started his engine and opened the throttle. The doctor half leaped, half fell clear of the ship’s tail. The plane sped down the runway, took the air and began to climb. The last glimpse of Miss Burke’s face showed her surprise, start- lement and righteous indignation. As for LaJotte, he grinned and waved his hand. Miss Burke’s version of the rest of it, given out through a friend, was as follows: “As soon as Dr. Steen got out of the plane, La- Jotte sped up the motor and, almost before I knew what had happened, the plane was roar- ing down the field and soaring up into the heavens. I shouted at him, but could not make myself heard above the noise of the motor. I was not much frightened, but angry, although I thought he might be mere- ly going to fly over my sister’s cottage at Sun- crest. *‘When I found he was not turning back I became a bit uneasy, and pointed toward the landing field. He held up his fingers three times.

And he added, ruefully, that he thought his spectacular methods of wooing had hurt his cause in- stead of helped it. “Mr. Loyd, a sensible man, told me to stop worrying, adding that if I wanted to be mar- ried, he would help, but if I didn’t there would be no wedding. not to be won by modern cave-man stuff, and went away with little Mrs. Loyd, while La- Jotte and Loyd sat and talked most of the night.” While LaJotte talked, and the girl and Mrs. Loyd slept, Charles Burke, the girl’s I assured him I was father, was burning up the telegraph wires, and constables and deputy sheriffs motoring all over southern California look- ing for her. Excited friends who had seen the kidnaping added melodramatic touches to it that made it seem an even more des- perate venture than it was, and there were grave fears for the young woman’s safety. Hysterical relatives solemnly assured the police that. the Lochinvar of the skies had taken her away into the mountains and were meant to keep her a prisoner these: The next day, after a talk with the Loyds, Miss Burke finally and indignantly rejected the proposal of the aviator. She also learn- ed, to her dismay, that he had not sent a telegram of reassurance to her father the night before, as she had asked him to do. Realizing the sensation her absence must be causing, she sent the following wire to Mr. Burke: . “Coming to Rogers Airport, Los Angeles, by airplane, this afternoon. Be there to meet me.’’ Then she demanded that the crestfallen LaJotte undo some of the harm he had ac- complished by flying her home.

New Yorkers know less about their own city than the residents of any other. city in the world, in the opinion of Frederick Lewis, who has been surveying a score of America’s “big towns” for the Woman’s Home Companion. It is significant of the city’s ignorance of its own history, he points out, that the Dutchman Pe- trus Stuyvesant is always called Peter, and’ the Englishman Henry Hudson is always called Hendryk. Long before the battle of Lexington, pa- triotic New Yorkers fought the British regu- lars at Golden Hill, and this was the first bloodshed of the War of Independence. But New York promptly forgot all about it, just as she has forgotten most of her great men and left it to other cities to honor them. Mr. Lewis adds: “Who in New York knows that Central Park was planned by a committee consisting of George Bancroft, the historian; William Cul- len Bryant and Washington Irving? Who cares that George Washington once went picnicking on the grounds of the Jumel mansion with ——— Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Alexander - physical,” | Hamilton? Who ever visits the Hall of Fame? “Tt isn’t that New York is indifferent or fore It -is not indifferent to the present, The trouble seems getful. nor forgetful of the past. to be that the future is always so enticing that New York has no time or taste for the past.” Mr. Lewis is not much impressed by the New York “rush.” He analyzes it thus: “This crowd on the street moves nervously; the feet, when they advance at all, make quick energetic strides; the faces take on the grim determina- tion of a runner about to breast the tape.

If I let everybody in ‘right away’ who says that’s what they must have, I don’t know what would happen.’”’ I am always amused at Judith. She is much smaller than I am, and at times sue reminds me of one of the high-powered little tugs which slip around the harbors, perform- ing inedible feats with a nonchalant air and benevolently steaming around the big liners attending to their wants. She bellig- erently defends me against the world and is always ready to shut off the said world if I give a nod. “Let’s see Mrs, Edwards,’’ 1 said. Mrs. Edwards was at the corner drug store. She would be there in three minutes. This would have been a figure of speech with most people, But it was a literal state- ment with my client. The moment that I looked at her good-sized, firm writing, every letter of which was accurately and fully made, her T bars well placed, and her specimen of writing fully punctuated, | was sure that she would never understand or overstate any- thing and that she would invariably arrive on the very tick of the clock. Everything about her emphasized this.

I told that man, my employer, that if I had children I would furnish a substitute for the short time when I would not be at the office. He agreed. Short of this one statement, I have never again mentioned my home to him or the fact of my marriage. I know that there are weeks when he forgets that it ever happened. “I never telephone my husband in business hours. I never mix up my business and my home. I have steadily gotten increases in salary and am now offered a partnership in the firm which I intend to take. ‘‘My husband’s work is no harder than mine, if as hard, and his hours are shorter. He is an architectural draftsman—a good one—and some day will be a fine architect. Our incomes are not quite equal. Mine is the larger, but my husband is the most gen- erous of men—with his money.

She brought out another handwriting and laid it beside her own. “That,” she said, “is the writing of my husband and it is about my domestic prob- lem, with him, that I want to consult you.”’ This second specimen was more strongly inclined to the right than her own, showing a little more sensibility and greater expansive- ness, but it was the indication of a fine character. They were both fine characters. I sighed. So often two fine characters fight like Kilkenny cats! “Well?” I inquired.

It is possible for us to have only one maid and that none too wonderful an article, for the wages of a fine houseworker, these days, is really prohibitive for any but rich people. I saw that we would have to do a great deal in our home ourselves and I warned my husband of this before we were married. I said that I did not want to do what I had seen so many women do, which was to try to pet and coddle a man in his home, while they worked just as hard as he did outside of it. ‘“‘He agreed. He agreed, in detail.”” Her rather thin lips set in what was not so pretty a line. “But he has never lived up to that agreement. I wish that I could make him see LINKING INDUSTRY WITH AGRICULTURE “All-factory life is a mistake, so is all-farm life,” says Henry Ford, whose plans of com- bining farming with industry to do away with seasonal slackness are given in the July Mc- Call's by Ida Tarbell. The well-known woman journalist quotes Mr. Ford as saying: “Man was made to work in the soil. Indus- try wrongs him when it forces him to spend all his days in a factory, shop, a mine or ata desk. Besides, if we could combine the trade and the farm, we could take up the slacks which are,so bad now for both. Farming has fr dull_ sfasons—men just sit around. The fac- tory has its dull times—men out of work, lying around, bad for them. There ought to be an exchange and could be. We are wrongly or- ganized. We’ve got away from the early Amer- ican idea! | “Factory work is seasonal, so is farming. Neither are all-the-year jobs. All of the farms in Michigan could, if they would, work out an exchange with all of the manufacturers. “A few years ago we decided to put some- thing like 400 acres over there along the road into wheat, and what did we do? “We chose 72 men from the factory, put them on tractors and set them to plow the 400 acres. In 24 hours it was plowed and planted. [ remember that as they were at work a group of farmers passed going into Detroit. They stopped and studied what we were doing. It seemed to look dubious to them. ‘When we get back we will stop,’ they told us in reply to our invitation to come in and see what was doing. A few hours later they came back. Everything in sight had been plowed and planted. The tractors and their workers were 4 miles away. “Not a pound of it went into wheat specula- tion. There are our elevators and mills. ‘“‘We make flour there, good flour, out of the wheat we raise. All the flour we make, like all the potatoes we raise, all the apples we pick, thousands and thousands of bushels and bar- rels of them, the oranges we raise in Florida, we sell direct to our own people. The only trouble is we can not get enough to supply them, but we shall? in time.” 49 |) = ) QW / / ‘ Mh) 4, Yi Uy ere ln ea i Reet yt eet AE Te tl ae tga a It al tierra ML Lge a ah lid al ll gt Ni gt eg a eM oe a , " hh , " ’ 4 Wiis +4 | My hadith nh fT t wih le al ' m nowt aM ee # pel bapthia be iJ wh it) tee ‘ ’ P if " 0 AA NY UY, f ‘li "Tin i GZ YI My w 1G Vf) fit — d Graphologist, Social!

Of course, he puts away the butter!

He is the soul of honor. He’d die before he would do this sort of thing in any business enter- prise. Don’t tell me to argue with him. I’ve done that.

Just as an experi- ment I also remained silent. That usually starts a person off again, but not this decisive lady. She had said what she had to say and there was nothing to add to it. I looked at her handwriting again and was sure that that was just the way she did everything. I picked up the man’s writing again. “This is not a new story to me,” I told her, ‘the problem has been increasingly present in my consulting room for the last twenty years. It is a burning question today. To under- stand it. you have to estimate that women have changed about some things and not about others and that men have not changed at all. The great mass of men are still thinking of women as home makers and sweethearts and wives, to the exclusion of everything else. There is_a sort of ‘blind spot’ in the minds of even really unusual men, when it comes to this practical matter of their own womenkind needing a different sort of treatment from that which was all right under conditions of life which existed up to about 40 years ago. ‘Men never did anything about the house because there was no other work for women to do than work about.the house. It was a natural division of labor. The white man yowled with rage because he found the In- dian allowing his wife to carry a pack while he stalked ahead or behind burdened with nothing but a bow and arrow and his own majestic vanity. But really, that was an economic arrangement. One of them had to be ready to fight a foe or to kill a ferocious animal or to secure meat. “This same code assigned men to all the heavy jobs and left shelter and the housework to women. “The only trouble is that men are always slower than women to adjust themsélves to circumstances. If want proof, look at the way in which a. hodecarrier’s wife and daughters will gain new levels while he still carries the hod, figuratively if not actually. So, men are still acting on the million-year-old subconscious reaction. That’: the reason that your husband follows you around the kitchen, protesting at your tan- trum, but not helping you with the work. The way that the work of the sexes used to be arranged, he actually could not afford to take the time to help with the housework, and he had not the strength. Remember that when I was a little girl, a man was likely to have practically every female relative-de- pendent on him, in the course of time. you social "1 HEDLIRQOPP*S9 4 URN gn.

Director of the Paris Fashion Board. Members of the Paris Fashion Board are Agnes, Boulanger, Chantal, Cheruit, Doeuillet, Doucet, Drecoll, Jenny, Lanvin, Lelong, Patou, Martial et Armand, Premet, Redfern, Martha Regnier, Jane Regny, Worth and Molyneux. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Deauville, July 9. UST as the spring and summer modes are foreshadowed during the winter season on the Riviera, the trend of the autumn modes may be seen in the summer at Deau- ville. Light, gossamer materials have never en- joyed greater popularity than during the sportive days which have just opened the sea- son at this resort whose “chic” is world-re- nowned. New crepe vVariations—many of them being related to kasha, which will have an important place in the autumn collec- tions—are masters of the mode at present. Mouslikasha, mouslicrepella, tuslikashas, crepes galore, tchinsou and '‘“‘mousseline de soie”’ clothe thousands of the smart women who make an unending procession along the promenade, in sight of the sea whose breezes emphasize the fairy-lightness and graceful- ness of these materials—all of which are fav- ored because they accentuate slimness and poise. Many of these fragile things are bordered with fur—narrow strips of fur that will be seen in many of the collections in August and September. Green dresses of these light materials are often seen trimmed with black fur. Pale green evening gowns are not rare, and almond and sage are the most popular Shades. A coat of black thin-sou irregularly hemmed with ermine is of the greatest chic, but fox is as widely favored as ever, and many of the couturiers have assured me that it will be as much in evidence throughont the coming season. Certainly fox is the most practical of smart furs, lends itself more readily than any other to combinations with a variety of colors and materials, and for the woman who wants to have the most for her money, is the wisest and safest in- vestment. Fox Fashionable. She need not fear its suddenly becoming passe, for Jenny, Vionnet, Chan- tal, Molyneux, Patou and Agnes (the couturiers) will sponsor fox for next winter. Smart furs are smart always, but furs of inferior quality are vulgar in summertime to the last degree. In winter they are pardoned by necessity, for necessity pardons many in- discretions, but in the summer months only the best of furs has any raison d’etre, and the worst thing & woman can do is to make use of any others at a time of year wheh its inferiority is so glaring. Many French women who for the time being have little money have solved this trimming problem by wearing in the place of furs a simple-scarf of the same material as the dress or coat.. This gives the desired finishing effect, costs little, is newer than furs, lighter, more summery, equally grace- ful, and is always in excellently good taste. Indeed, these are worn by many women of unlimited means, who out of preference choose them for wear in warm weather. The smartness of gray for daytime wear is emphasized, and this color will be extremely smart all winter. (Copyright, 1927 Cosmos Newspaper Syndicate, Inc.) By MME. VALLET.

Women are always waiting for something new, and [I am just as anxious to gratify their perfectly natural appetite, provided these new things can be achieved without sacrificing any of the good things which already exist. Recent seasons have been somewhat hard, for I have never found the styles so flattering as they are at the present time, and this makes it hard for me to abandon any of its lovely features. Solid Color Slenderizes. A simple, straight-line dress in solid color most assuredly promotes the much-desired slender appearance, and anything added to this must be carefully considered beforehand, for the slightest bit of thoughtlessly placed trimming can add several pounds to a wom- an’s appearance, and the saving of one of these all-important pounds in these days is surely not to be frowned upon. Weighty dresses suggest a corresponding degree of underlying weight, and light dresses imply a light body underneath. I have seen many women, for example, made to appear twice their age by wearing heavily embroid- ered dresses. And many a wise woman has achieved gracefulmess and slenderness despite her stout proportions by wearing well-cut gowns of light weight. Often I have found that trimming on the dress itself would add age, whereas the same trimming—and more —on the sleeves produced the opposite effect, taking attention from the real source of stout- ness to the full sleeves, showing slender un- derneath and at the same time cleverly im- plying that the dress is also quite full and creating a highly advantageous optical illusion. Tucking and pleating will remain popular, as they are two of the best known means of effecting these valuable illusions and trim a dress without adding to its weight-appear- ance. My skirts will remain short, as they are at present. A very straight line prevails in the back, and the fullness of the skirts is brought to the front. The sleeves, for the most part, are flat, well adjusted above and lightly floating about the hand, with various flares. giving a graceful, sweeping impression. Much Velvet Used.

Snakeskin remains an extremely popular trimming, and I am now executing numerous creations for Parisiennes which tes- tify to the favor in which this material is still held. Velvet will never have enjoyed a greater success than the one in store for it with the opening of the autumn collections, and if I were a woman of moderate means and could afford only one evening gown for the coming season it would certainly be of velvet, black, rich blue or pink, according to which was most flattering, This stately material was seen everywhere last winter, and it is fortunate for many women that their old gowns can in thousands of instances be slightly made over to answer the pur- poses of absolutely new ones. “What change would you favor?” you may ask. Well, nine times out of ten I should probably touch nothing but the sleeves. The lines of dresses that were in good taste last year have not changed, so the apparently new dress may be achieved through the simplest of means. If the last year’s dress is of black velvet, for example, with a red belt, I should con- sider replacing the belt by one of gray (for example) and putting in any one of many kinds of sleeves, of georgette crepe, trimmed in.some novel way with the same shade. Or I’d leave the red belt and put some red on the sleeves, for red will be a good color this autumn, and it is flattering to most women besides—especially in the cold months. This can be decided according to one’s own feel- Comfort Is First Requisite, You must first of all feel comfortable, at perfect ease, and let other things follow this mental condition which is the founda- tion of being well dressed. It is not an un- usual ‘sight for us who see so Many women in fine clothes to behold one whose body is laden with the best things money can buy but who, nevertheless, because she does not feel self-confident, fails to produce the ap- pearance of a smart woman. What we call “savoir faire’ in France is essential to being “chic.” The truth is that the widely envied Par- isian smartness is the result cf an interior as well as an exterior condition, and these two should work in close cooperation, being per- Fad ter far have less money and more belief in one’s self and wear the little one with an air that exalts it, than have much money with which to bedeck one’s self, and none of the poise—the “savoir faire’’—which is the underlying secret of giving the charming ap- pearance. There are certain rules of sim- plicity and restraint which all women should know and abide by; after this is done one might almost venture the statement that a woman is as well dressed as she feels she is well dressed. The Winter Tendencies. Simplicity will remain the keynote of the most distinctive fashions for the oncoming winter season—a much-studied simplicity that satisfies all one’s demands upon dress without being in the least conspicuously com- posed.

There is no charge for this unusual and valuable advice in meeting personal problems of dress; but, to pay the five-cent postage for the reply from Paris and the cost of writing the letter, it is necessary that a dime be enclosed with the inquiry, together with an addressed envelope for the reply, to which the French stamp will be attached in Paris. About three weeks will be required for the reply to reach the reader. The inquiry should be addressed as follows: Director of the Paris Fashion Service, 31, Boulevard Berthier, Paris XVII. * This simplicity I write of is closely related to art as defined in that epigram. This sim- plicity is the concealment of simplicity. If your garments are chosen and assembled so as to make people comment upon their sim- plicity at once, they will not be what I am discussing. One’s appearance deserves all manner of thought, but traces of this thought should never be prominently in evidence. Subdued trimmings go far toward helping one towards this end. On a black gown of dull satin, for example, I put a trimming of black shiny satin. This scheme is also car- ried out with other colors. Tucks and pleats, in elaborate designs, afford a most refined and effective trimming, abounding with gracefulness. If you have worn tucks on a certain part of a dress and found them un- becoming for any one of many reasons, this need not cause prejudice, for by putting them elsewhere an egtirely different effect may be achieved with a result altogether pleasing. Just as no two faces are alike, no two bodies are identical, and we who are always cre- ating styles for this variety of body types know that bodies are as different as faces. Women are willing to study their faces some- what before choosing hats, &c., but compara- tively few stop to consider their bodies in this way. I can not overemphasize the im- portance of knowing the body as’ well as the face and bearing them equaliy in mind when selecting and assembling what one wears. Kasha cloth has become classical, like crepe de chine and georgette crepe, and much of it will be seen next winter, along with many other woolen materials, especially jersey. Harmonizing trimming will be in best taste, generally speaking. (Copyright, 1927, Cosmos Newspaper Syndicate, Inc.) | HOW BABIES LEARN TO TALK | A few seconds after a baby is born it gives acry. That might be called its “hello’’ to the world. Then, when the baby is about 3 months old, it begins to “babble’’—to make funny, little gurgling noises, as if it really knew what was going on, and was trying to say things. Chinese babies, American babies, Turkish, South African and Indian babies all gurgle in the same way. The race a baby comes from makes no difference at all in the babbling it does when it is very, very young. © It is only a great deal later in the baby’s life, when it begins to remember the sounds it hears about it, and tries to imitate them, that the difference in babies is noticed, ac- cording to Prof. Karl’ Buehler, noted German philologist, who is endeavoring to trace back the history of human spéech. At the beginning of the second year the child has the power to give names to objects. During the early months many things have occurred. It has heard the words ‘‘mama”’ or ‘“‘dada” or “‘papa,’”’ and now proceeds to say them. But even now, the child’s power to say things and express its feelings is little greater than that of the dog, which can express grief and joy, anger and fear by barking. The child, too, uses the few words it has: heard and can imitate to express its own feelings only. And then suddenly, the child learns that “‘dada’’ should. be said to the man who holds it in his arms every day, and kisses it good- . ‘Syn _ 9? . . ia are t : ' i 1 2 It has learned to say a word not to ex- press a feeling but because it is the name of an object which it recognizes. It can now use different tones in saying the same word, to express different shades of meaning. For several months, the child makes no new progress in talking. It learns new words, but because it can not yet express thought, but only emotion, this is called the single word stage. At the end of the second year, our children learn to use two or more words at one time. This is one of the biggest leaps forward. Sometimes when something has happened. to annoy the child, or make him feel deeply about something, he says a whole string of words, running them all in together. There isn’t any fixed order of words. The child uses verbs and nouns in the same way. It is always something that happens in its young life that makes the child use a lot of words at this time, instead of the one word which it uses when it is about a.year old. When it upsets its hobby-horse now, it says rapidly all the words it has ever heard and learned, one right after the other. Now the child is ready to learn accent and rhythm, The last great stage of development of speech in the ehild comes when its way of speaking changes from being like that of any other child in the world, to a way of its own, that is recognized as personal. And at this time it also learns to compare things. It can sav, “That is big, but this is bigger.” This is the fashion in which babies learn . Fal

These who spentesix months among the Karen people, have brought with them medicines, which are the native ‘‘sure cures’”’ for human ills. Dr. A. scientists, various samples of H. Williams, formerly of Australia, now of Washington, speaking of these cure-alls, declared that in the minds of the Karen people their pharmacopoeia contains only “‘tried and tested remedies.”’ They have everything but a patent from some govern- ment agency to acclaim them as popular panaceas. Word of mouth advertising has made-them favorites for every sort of ail- ment. They collect soot from their fireplaces, mix it with native oils, chile and decayed fish, and make it into pills, which they sell with the “puaranty’’ that, placed on swellings, the mixtuse will dissolve them, providing the pa- tient does not eat anything sour or touch anything made of iron. The latter, Dr. Will- jams avers, is the joker that permits a way out for the guaranty. The Karens use human milk for eye drops, rhinoceros blood for “that run-down feeling,’’ and paint everybody suf- fering from any trouble whatsoever. It is a peculiar kind of yellow paint, but it is claimed as sure cure for everything from earache to cholera. The Karens, like the Chinese, are very polite and will talk for a long time before finally reaching the subject regarding which they have come. Circumlocution is some- thing of a fing art with these Oriental peo- ples. Even When they come to seek medi- cine'for some distressing pain the custom demands that they do not directly approach the question. | At one place a man walked into the yard and when asked what he wanted replied, “Oh, I've come for a walk. Just a walk,” he re- plied. : “Where do you live?” “A mid-day’s journey away.” It was ap- parent that he wanted something, most likely some medicine. To find out meant asking questions that slowly lead up to the matter. It went about like this, ‘‘Was your road pleasant this morning?” ; “Oh, yes.” ‘Was vour basket heayy?’”’ “Oh, there’s nothing in it.”’ “Rut it looks heavy.” MRAP HATTA A GA TA TTA AA aR MOGUL Ce eR eytvdudindinineayinndiniy THUR tt TAMU TL TUT RM TL i ssiiacaajaaidiaiiiit is HITHER LLL ERLE ET THT Vite ’ iii nel!

A Karen headman was waiting and took me to the scene of the trouble. It was as small house. The woman and her son had been alone when a man entered, and, being recognized, showed fight.

ap PE oa ~~ URNA AE Silver Star, a princess of the Umatillas tribe, greeting friends at the Pendleton, Oregon, roundup in the silent language of her people HEN Will Tomkins was a cow hand on his father’s ranch and Little Raven was the respected head man Arapahoes, the Indian chieftain said to the boy: “The sign lan- guage of my people is the simplest and most beautiful language in all the world. Co- manches, Crows, Snakes, of the Southern Osages, Kiowas and understand it. At least the old ones do, It was the first universal] America. It is of great an- tiquity. Some day a white scholar will write a book about it, explain it for your people. And he will do much good thereby, and acquire great honor.’’ all other Indians language in That was nearly 40 years ago, and it is of contemporary interest because Will Tom- kins, William now, and a man of solid learn- ing, has just published a little book called “Universal Indian Sign Language.” And he is getting great honor for it, as Little Raven predicted—not only from university sages but from enthusiastic Boy Scouts, amateur collectors of lovers of beauty everywhere. Mr. Tomkins’ pamphlet, Americana, cross between a a poem and a dictionary. It con- tains 800 Indian sign words and their mean- ings. It is the only Indian dictionary of its sort, and an intelligent reader can master the entire vocabulary in a month of leisurely study. In addition to containing exact defi- hundreds of sign book is a nitions of language e2es- book sets forth the beauty and the imagery of the Indian “tongue.”’ Mr. Tomkins tells of an old Indian, who, at parting, said to him in the sign language “May the Great Mystery make sunrise in your heart.’’. And he cites other beautiful poetic expressions of the silent language nearly as eloquent and sustained. Every time strange tribes of Indians gather, the leaders converse almost altogether in the universal language of signs, even to- day. Mr. Tomkins recalls that the summer President Lincoln was killed there was a great gathering of all the tribes to the east and south of the country of Little Raven Twenty-five tribes were represented. had never tions. tures, the some seen men of. the other Indian na- Yet Little Raven told Tomkins that that when they met near old Fort Abercrom- bie, on the Wishita River, they all ‘‘talked’”’ and to good purpose by means of signs, The Indian sign language, Tomkins says is the foremost gesture language the world has produced. It was probably the first American language ands certainly has re- mained the only language comprehended by all the tribes. “Tt may be,”’ he surmises, ‘‘that it was the first universal language of any group of nations. It is older than the pyramids.’’ Starting to study the lan- guage of gestures when a boy living on the banks of the Okoboji Creek in South Dakota, Tomkins has devoted the last 40 years to his subject, and today is a great- er authority than the Indians themselves on their language of signs, “There are 65 stocks of fami- lies of Indians within the terri- cory 6 436 United States,” he explains. “They differ as radically as the races of Europe or Asia differ one from another, In each linguistic family there is likely to be a number of dia- translator lects. of sign lan. “Obviously the guage, and old-time Indians a Sioux chief had to converse in signs or not at all when they met men of tribes. strange The old people of the tribes still use signs when they meet strang- ers. Nichelle, once chief of the Pen d’Orielles, said his grandfather told him that at great conferences of the nations the sign language was always used. And all the tribes used the same signs—the Blackfeet, Crows, Flatheads, Kootenays and others, who otherwise could not have talked to one another at all. “Children employ intelligent ges- tures long before they can deliver articulate speech, although parents begin early to instruct them in the art of making signs. Children learn language only through the medium of signs, and long after they understand verbal translation of the words. When a white man has first eontact with Indians who use signs, the white has little difficulty catching their mean- ing. If he is in close contact with them for AL’S “RED-CAP” This is to introduce Al Smith’s red-cap, Jim. Officially, he’s Chief James H. Williams, head of the army of 500 baggage porters at New York’s Grand Central] Station. But when the Governor of New York comes to town or leaves for Albany, as he does once or twice weekly, the veteran executive of the largest red-cap organization in the world becomes, for the time, Jim, a private in the ranks again. ‘This curious sentimental attachment has grown for eighteen years, since Smith was a struggling youn, ‘awyer and Williams a newly i fledged red-cap, it is revealed by John R. YTunis, telling the story of the red-caps in the Elks’ Magazine for June. Although both have risen to unusual heights in their chosen fields, the scene that was first enacted in 1909 is repeated whenever Smith appears at Grand Central. And the governor takes no chances on missing his favorite por- ter. Whenever he is to arrivé or depart, Will- iams is notified by wire, and is always on hand. Other notables, too, have their favorite por- ters, the investigator among the red-caps re- veals. Will Rogers and Doug Fairbanks al- ways wire ahead, specifying what men they want to care for their baggage. The Armours, tosenwalds and Stillmans are among the wealthy families who have favorite men as- signed ahead of time to see them on and off their trains. But millionaires to the contrary, the favorite passenger among the ranks of the red-caps is Babe Ruth. “Yes, sir. The boys sure do run to fetch that man’s bags,” is the answer to a query. “A lot of these ballplayers tote their own grips. They travel on an allowance and they don’t spend unless they has to. But the Babe, he’s one gen- erous man.” Other interesting sidelights on the portering industry revealed in the Elks Magazine article are that the red-caps receive salaries of from $40 to $80 a month, depending upon length of service, and manage to average about $2,000 a year with tips; that they prefer traveling salesmen as clients, because they have expense accounts and tips are certain ahd generous, and that a quarter is the average tip received. any length of time he will instinctively start making signs himself. “The way in which the Indian expresses ‘thought’ shows the difference between the mentality of the Red Man and the mentality of the white. The Indian conceives of ‘thought’ as of the heart, from the heart. When he wants to express the idea of thought he makes the sign ‘drawn from the heart.’ His sign for good is the flat hand swept outward and level with the heart. When an Indian wants to ex- Piute Indian re- sorting to the ancient gestures of the Red Man in explaining the beauties of Zion National Park, Utah, to . three fair mo- torists k ye ae showing Northwest Coast Indians using the sign language in one of their weird ceremonial dances press anger he places the right hand against the forehead and twists it around to indi- cate the twisted brain.’’ Mr, Tomkins says that Indian signs have not only beauty and feeling and directnéss, but they express a great variety of meanings, of many shades. An Indian, knowing 500 signs (Tomkins’ book has 800) cam be a really fluent talker and say about all the important things that seem to need to be said in an ordinary lifetime. Five hundred signs or word-symbols really constitute an exceptional vocabulary. To express the thought ‘‘done,” or finished an Indian brushes his hands together. He beckons with his finger when he wants you to approach nearer. When he wants to give word of an escape he cfosses the wrists, hands closed, then moves them apart. To in- dicate mourning, he places his fingers at the back of his head as though shearing the hair, then indicates with his forefingers imaginary ‘ears running down his cheeks. To say “dance,’’ he raises both hands and wriggles them up and down. To convey the idea of corn, he goes through the motion of shell- ing it. Th Indian’s lively imagination, love of nature and gift for conjuring up a picture come to the-fore in making the sign for ‘‘au- tumn.” The right hand is extended upward with the fingers spread. The left hand, in- dicaiing leaves, drops with a waving motion. Autumn is falling leaf time. There is no better way of arriving at a sympathetic un- derstanding of the Indian than by studying his language, in which every gesture is full of poetry and significance. For time of day, an Indian makes a sign for sun, holding his hand toward the point in the heavens where the sun is at the time indicated. To specify a certain fraction of a day, he makes a half sweep with his hand, indicating the angle of the sun in the sky. Time is reckoned by Indians as follows: days, by nights, or sleep; months, by moons, and years, by winters. One is always so many winters old, except when one is so very young as to have seen no winters. Indians have simplified their sign language to the last de- gree, according to the sign ex- pert. They never use the articles “ha? “a” oF “an,” Bor tae words “‘why” or “when” in be- ginning a question. The ques- tioner makes the question sign, indicates the person being ques- tioned, gives the want sign. ‘Question — you —want?” That is simple. ‘When I first began to study the Indian sign language,” says Tompkins, “‘I had great difficulty in obtaining any information from the Indians regarding the language and had to be content with learning a word at a time, often with days between. Grad- ually I proved my sincere friendship for the Dakotas. I learned some of their spoken language, and henceforth made greater progress in the silent language that had so aroused my interest. During the times of trouble between the whites and Indians I have often gone among strange tribes and, because of my knowledge of sign talk, have always found friends among them. On many occasions I have been able to help them in difficulties arising through mutual misunderstanding. testures were man’s earliest method of communication. Like tone of voice, they indicate clearly and distinctly not only literal meanings, hut also various. moods and finer shades of meaning im- possible for words or mechanical gestures alone to suggest. “Of course, Indians in their gestured sign language may present either a spiritless suc- cession of set signs or a fully expressive pantomime of eloquent gestures, depending upon the amount of grace and feeling used. Like actors, those who feel what they seek to relate express fuller meanings. Many old plainsmen have said that to see great bodies of Indians skilled in the language of signs was a? beautiful sight, not soon to be forgotten..”’ Mr. Tomkins says that even if the Indians were actually extinct, there would be profit fot white men and boys and girls in a study of their silent language. Unhappily, and in spite of giddy optimists, the Indians in all their racial purity are passing away or, at least, they are changing their wavs and be- coming Imit ation white men. A half century ago there were 115,000 accom- plished sign talkers among them. Com- pulsory education and the general speaking of English has brought about a change. Today many Indians understand French, German, Latin or Greek better than they compre- hend the sign talk of their ancestors. Mr. T o m pkins’ argument is that con- veying by sign is as instinctive as _ ex- pressing feeling by speech. ‘‘Man, when in possession of all his faculties, does Above, language one of his braves squaw not choose between voi-e and gesture,’’ he declares. instinctive. Never has one been used to the exclusion of the other. So civilized a race as the Fre ch are famous for the eloquence, the subtlety and the variety of their gestures, which add so much to the spoken word. But nowhere have men invented a simpler, a richer or a more beautiful speech of silence than our own Americans, who once used it from Massachusetts to the Dakotas and from the swe ups of Florida to the big woods of Maine.”’ “Both are Mr. Tomkins has been signally honored by California. He has a certificate authorizing him to teach the original and universal sign language in the high schools and universities of the State. In clinching his arguments in favor of it he never forgets to remind tha Americans of these busy modern days that it can be learned in one twenty-fifth part of the Indian chieftain carry- ing on a sign con- versation with and his W Biblia eres Three sign lan- guage words— (above) ‘boat,’ (at the left) “horse,” and (below) “tepee” Ne time needed to master any other tongue. The sign language used by Indians differs from that of deaf and dumb persons in two respects. Deaf-mutes set their fingers against their foreheads to indicate thought. Indians set their fingers against the heart, as has been explained. (Copyright, 1927, Johnson Features, Inc.) AIN'T IT THE TRUTH? Chicken thieves get along by fair means or fowl.—Farm and Fireside. | Germany's Human Gas Plant | TTO Omikron, native of Berlin, Germany, can in- hale 24 liters of gas— enough to kill any other man —and he doesn’t even get a headache. Not only can he inhale the poisonous fumes, but he can exhale the gas again—to good purpose. Give Otto a couple of lungfuls of gas and he’ll be able to keep two gas lamps lit for some time and heat .a gas iron besides. He himself says that be- cause of his talent, he has the most unique method in the world to prevent worry over gas bills. When he goes a-visiting and friends want to treat him to a glass of beer or a cheese sandwich, Otto says, “I’d rather have a bit of gas if you don’t mind.” And thus he gets supplied. Then by putting three tubes into his mouth, Otto becomes a gas plant. He exhales the gas into the tubes and does with his supply what he will-— illuminate a light or two, heat an iron, or keep che gas on a stove lit long enough to fry an egg. Otto discovered his strange power quite accidentally when a boy. He was put to bed by a loving mother in a gas-lit room. At his feet lay Kaiser, his pet. Then his mother turned the gas off and left the room. In the morning a _ neighborhood rathering before the door of Karl Omikron, father of Otto. Gas could be smelled for blocks. Doctors hurried into the little cottage and brought out Otto’s mother, who collapsed, and Karl Omikron. They had slept in a room two doors away from Otto and Kaiser. When the doctors came to that room, they were sure that behind the door was death. The boy sprang to his feet, his eyes wide with Otto Omikron operating two lamps and an iron with gas he has taken into his lungs surprise. He did not Know what had hap- pened and cried when he learned Kaiser had died. Thus it was.that Otto Omikron, who to- day is the only man on earth who can inhale deadly gas, and exhale it again without injury to himself, discovered that he is immune to gas poisoning.

Why hadn’t Warren stopped her? had he let her bunder on? It had started at dinner. All talking of flying—and she had told of their Vienna-to- Budapest flight. If she had only stopped there! But later in the lounge, Mrs. Aldrich, asking about Budapest, had led her on. Flattered and excited by an attentive au- dience, she had rattled on—effervescently! Her face grew hot at the memory of her animation. Airing her impressions—trying to scintillate! Then like a bombshell Warren’s scowl- ing. ‘‘Here, what’s the idea? Givin’ a travel talk?

Always over-effusive when she talked like that—and always loath- ing herself for it afterward. But Warren’s call-down needlessly brutal! He could have nudged her—or signaled. In flaming embarrassment, she made a hasty escape.

To a layman his experiment would have seemed of trifling interest. He had simply come into the conference room with a few insignificant frosted bulbs, grayish in color. They were frosted on the inside in- stead of on the outside—but what of that? Well, here’s what of that: By perfecting practical inside-frosted bulbs he had done what experts had been laughing at for twenty years as an impossibility. He had brought about simplified manufacturing in an industry that puts 300,000,000 lamps annually into our homes and shops. He had given cheaper and better light to 16,000,000 American families. And he had perfected what is said to be the most generally advan- tazeous light source yet devised by man. All of which Dr. Pipkin accomplished, thanks to a telephone call and an accident to a half-finished bulb—plus his own persist- ence and chemical skill. “When I was fussing around with inside- frosting experiments, back in 1919,” explains Dr. Pipkin in an interview reported by Ken- neth Wilcox Payne in the August Popular Science Manthly, ‘‘everybody laughed at me and kept calling me off to tacke something more ‘practical.’ Inside frosting was an ex- pPloded dream. Many experimenters had found that while it was quite possible to frost a bulb on the inside, a lamp thus frosted be- came as fragile as a blown bird’s egg. ‘“‘However, I kept experimenting with various acids and types of glass and different shapes of bulb. You see, after a bulb is blown it can be frosted on the inside by etching with a strong solution of hydro-fluoric acid. I knew that after etching a bulb I could pour in a weaker solution and allow it to stand for a time, with the result that the fine-grained texture originally etched in the inner surface would be eaten away and the bulb would be clear glass again, ready to be used over in new experiments. ‘T often cleaned bulbs this way in order not to waste them. One day I had just poured a cleaning soiution into a lamp on my desk when a telephone eall interrupted me. In an- swering the phone I accidentally tipped the bulb over *» .d spilled the acid out before it had had time to clean off the inside etching. Later, when I returned to my experiment, I was careless enough to drop this inside-frost- ed and half-cleczned bulb onto the floor. By all rights it should have smashed to pieces. Even a clear glass bulb might not have stood the drop. But this theoretically very fragile inside-frosted bulb just bumped on the floor and rolled under the desk unhurt And that’s all there was to my discovery. You see, it was all just a little accident.”’ By perfecting inside-frosted lamps Dr. Pip- kin has provided bulbs that are almost shock proof; he has relieved the eye strain with glareless light, and he has given us 10 to 15 per cent more light for our money.

As Brown and his brother were passing hy the waterside, on their way home, one cold afternoon, they saw a group of street children lugging along a scared little mongrel dog, which they were planning to drown. Brown's heart was touched by the poor puppy’s fate and by the elfin prettiness of the little cur. So he emptied his pocket of the few coppers he had with him; and he and his brother, bought the mongrel from the band of vouthful executioners. They named him “Toby” and carried him home. But the Brown household was ruled over by a grim old grandmother, who hated dogs and had refused to allow one of. them around. Also, Brown's father was a some- what stern Presbyterian minister who was not likely to consent to this new pet’s pres- ence, So the bovs smuggled Toby into a shed; and kept him there, visiting him secretly and carrying bits of food to him. It was great fun to have such a clever little dog, all of theie very own; but they trembled at the tear of discovery on the part of their grim grandmother or of their stern clergy- man father. The fear of discovery was well justified. One evening Toby got loose: from his shed- prison and made his way into the house. Luckily the grandmother did not see him just at first. He started on a tour of exploration. IU led him into the clergyman’s room, just as that worthy man was making ready for bed. Toby frisked over to the parson and began gaily to lick his bare feet. The boys looked on from the doorway, in horror, expecting to see the disrespectful pup kicked to death. But for some reason the foot-licking seem. ed to make a great hit with their father. Not only did he consent to let Toby stay on at his house, but he braved the ire of the fierce grandmother who was for throwing the pup out of doors at once. Perhaps because he owed so much to the clergyman’s intervention, or perhaps only as a whim, Toby attached. himself henceforth to the boys’ father, rather than to the boys themselves. He became his adoring shadow, following him everywhere. In Edinburgh, at that long. bygone era, it was not considered decorous for a stately Presbyterian minister to make his round of clerical visits with a nondescript little mon- grel tagging along at his heels, So at such times, Toby was shut indoors. That is all the good it did. By some wile or other, the mongrel] always managed to escape, and to follow his master. Sometimes he would trail the minister, oftener he would take a short cut which brought him out somewhere’in front of him. For the remainder of the day’s ministeria! visits, Toby would stay close beside his mas- ter to the latter's secret delight. and to the grandmother’s loudly-voiced disgust. (The grandmother is the villain of this story, as you shall see.) Toby got out of the house one Sunday morning, and tracked his master to church. — ss ¢ “ A fr 4 ep Jf iy, 7 - —~o eS ZB Es My, VY J 7 _ aN Se DELLA Ao bh S4. : A ZA McNaught Syndicate. Inc., N.Y The boys smuggled Toby into a shed, visiting him secretly. John Brown describes thus the scene which followed. “The second psalm was given out and my father was sitting back in the pulpit when the door at his back, up which he came from the vestry, Was seen to move and gently open. Then, after a long pause, a black shining snout pushed its way steadily into the pulpit and was followed by Toby’s entire body. “He looked somewhat abashed, but sniff- ing his friend, he advanced as if on thin ice and, not seeing him, put his forelegs on the pulpit. And, behold, there he was with his own familiar chum! “IT watched all this. And, anything more beautiful than his look of happiness, of com- fort, of entire ease when he beheld his friend -——the smoothing down of the anxious ears, the swing of gladness of the mighty tail—l don’t expect soon to see, “My father quietly opened the door, and Toby was at his feet and invisible to all but himself.’’ There was something touching in ‘the hu- nan and humane trait of this dour old Scot- lish preacher, his love for the ugly and help- less litthe mongrel that had won its way ints his reserved heart. He seems to have been every bit as devoted to Toby as was Toby to him, He did not even resent the tittering scandal of having a mongrel dpz occupy part of his sacred pulpit on this 4pbbath. Nor, after a while, did he even pr@tend to be annoyed when Toby overtook him on his round of pas- toral calls. Perhaps so much unaccustomed favor went to the once homeless little cur’s head, for presently he began to presume on his posi- tion’ in the household. He lost his early air of humility and adopted something of a swagger. Not even the presence of the hos- tile grandmother had the power any longer to make him cringe. But at last Toby went too far. Out of sheer mischief he stole a large leg of mutton. It was so big and heavy he could scarcely drag it along. Nor was the meat improved by be- ing dragged through the dust and being gnawed at. This gave the grandmother the chance she had been waiting for—a really excellent ex- cuse to get rid forever of the dog she de- tested. But Toby had a powerful friend in the parson, and she feared he might not re- gard even this mutton grand larceny as suf- ficient cause for banishing the mongrel. | So, secretly, she summoned several street urchins and she gave them a handful of half- pennies to steal Toby and to put him to death. The children were the same from whom John Brown had bought him, long before, They were glad to accept the old woman’s bribe, and to earn it. When Brown and his brother came home from school that after- neon they found their little carne chum ly- ing dead in the gutter.

Meetings Every Wednesday Night Through Station WBZ at 7:30, Eastern Standard Time OR_KING CRAB A Walking Shell. From childhood I have been familiar with the horseshoe crab. I found it large and small on the beaches of old Cape Cod. I watched it creeping along the bottom of salt water creeks, and always, even to this day, the impression made by this strange little creature of the sea is that it is an animated shell. In other words, there is so. little visible body that it gives the impression of having the legs attached to the shell, As a matter of fact, these horseshoe crabs, or king crabs, as they are also called, are not true crabs. Some scientists now class them along with scorpions and spiders, in- stead of with crustaceans. The probability is that this curious creature is a descendant of the long-extinct trilobites, which ceased to exist in the coal age. The young horseshoe crab bears a remarkable resemblance to the trilobites. Stupid looking as these “‘crabs”’ are, they are rather interesting. During the mating season they fight among themselves. This is usually in June or July. At this season of the year they gather in shallow water and battle for their mates. Because the shells are arch- ed and more or less hollow they make con- Siderable noise echoing and clattering when the crabs clash out of water or partly out of water. The eggs are deposited in holes scooped out in the sand, and these holes are left for the waves to fill. The eggs hatch in about a month. A Plucky Mother. This is the story of a ruffed grouse, the so-called partridge of the East, which demon- strates how all-possessive is the love of home and the sense of responsibility in some of our feathered friends. The story comes to me direct from Frank 8S. Towle, of Holton, Mass. “One day in May I proceeded to an unfinished job in my woodlot,’’ says he. ‘A large chest- hut tree was to be cut up for firewood. It lay where I had felled it on Washington’s Birthday, deep in a laurel tangle. I began at the lower end to cut it into 8-foot lengths. After about fifteen minutes of chopping I took hold of a branch to roll the tree over. A great uproar broke out near the stump end and the bushes were full of feathers as a mother partridge struggled to escape almost certain death, for I was bearing down on her. Finally she got out and flew away. “Twelve eggs, wonderfully concealed under this log, would have defied detection by the best of hunters. How the blows of my ax must have resounded in her ears through that big tree trunk! How she stuck to her charge until nearly crushed! And perhaps you can guess how I felt when I saw such a mags of feathers that for a moment I could not see the eggs. This shows how nearly pinned down she was. ; “But she could fly. Would she come back? Very early the next morning I was in the woods again, She had come back, for before I could get to a point near enough to see her on the nest she flew out and tried to lead me away in the time-honored manner of the ruffed grouse. I rejoiced and hastened away to leave her in peace.”’ An Indictment of Jenny Wren. Mr. Towle is also responsible for the fol- lowing observation which shows our cotm- mon house wren in a bad light. He says: “On May 30 I was spraying my trees. When I reached the tree where the bluebirds live Mother Bluebird left me in charge. She has been very tame and probably thought I was hig enough to protect her property. Just as 1 turned on the spray Jenny Wren appeared in the tree.

Even then I dw not suspect trouble. Presently I saw something drop. She was dropping the eggs of the blue- bird on the ground. All four eggs were thrown from the house and a bird almost ready to hatch in each. Each egg was sliced through the middle by her sharp bill. Can you beat it? Think of her waiting for a chance like that and then boldly rushing in while my engine was running and the spray hissing! It all happened so quickly that I could hardly believe my eyes. For the pro- tection of the rest of our bird family, which was quite large, I took Jenny’s house down and destroyed her nest. We did not feel that we could befriend her after what had hap- pened.” Yes, this is a sorry indictment of Jenny Wren. I have known for some time that some house wrens are given to the pernicious habit of destroying the eggs of other birds in their vicinity. I-doubt if all wrens have the habit. I have seen no evidence of it with the wrens nesting near my home. But Mr. Towle’s experience serves aS a warning. Wrens need watching. ‘ Again the Maternal Cat. To an already long list of stories of the ma- ternal instinct in the common house cat, Mrs. Katherine A. Roberts contributes this: ‘“‘While walking through the wood my brother. heard the crying of a young gray squirrel and dis- covered it hanging from the limb of a tree. Finally the little animal fell at his feet. He picked the baby up and found he had beer injured quite badly, as if another animal had attacked him. His eyes were not yet opened and he was helpless. After vainly trying to find the nest, my brother tucked the little squirrel in his pocket and brought him home. “Our cat had three kittens about three weeks old and my little girl said, ‘Let’s see it Blackie will take care of it.’ We feared the eat would make a meal of the squirrel. In- stead she licked him all over, cleaned up his wounds, and has taken care of him ever since. As soon as he was big enough he be- gan to play with the kittens and seems. quite at home with his foster mother.” Quite in keeping with the action of this vat was the action of a cat in Chester, Mass. She had established. herself and four kittens in an old sap-gathering tub. One kitten was given away. The next day the old cat brought in two large chipmunks and one baby chip- munk and put them in’ with the kittens, Plain- ix she had adopted’ them instead of killing them. A Crow That Would Catch Snakes. Some time ago I received an account of a erow which was observed carrying a snake and pursued by two other crows which were trying to get the snake. <A good birdman suggested that possibly a mistake had been made in identification and that. the bird carrying the snake really was one of the smaller hawks and the two crows were at- tacking this bird instead of merely trying to get the snake. Here, however, is some direct evidence which proves that crows may be snake killers. It comes from Mrs. E. IL Grondahl, of Vermont. She first reports hav- ing seen a crow fly over her car with a garter snake so large it eguld hardly lift it. Then she tells the following story: ‘One time a neighbor of ours had a tame crow which used to fly over and sit on my shoulder while I worked in the garden. That vear small snakes were very numerous, The crow would spot one from his perch and drop like a shot on the poor victim. He moved so quickly that I was never able to see wheth- er he struck the snake on the head or on the back of the neck. The reptile was always eaten at once as a rare titbit, much joyful talk on Jim Crow's part going on all the time. “This crow used to lie on his back, kick his heels in the air and tease to be played with. He became so expert in fending off fingers that it was almost impossible to touch his black shirt front. If I were busy and re- fused to play he would pull out my hairpins. He knew there would be trouble then. A rubber cord fastened to-a nail would keep him busy for hours and the family in shouts of laughter.” A Naturalist’s Questicn Box, Frank Weatherby wants to know if it is true that grasshoppers are ever eaten for food. Yes. The largest grasshoppers, called lo- custs, are a favorite food in many places. Arabs eat them when they are aboundant; ground up in hand mills as a substitute for flour, and also boiled or stewed in. butter. The Hottentots feast on them and make a soup out of their eggs. In Calcutta dried lo- custs have a part in the preparation of» most delicious curries. T, W. Waterman asks: ‘‘Are any fur ani- mals excepting foxes raised on a commercia! bssis?”’ ' . Yes, I helieve there are skunk farms as well as fox farms. Experiments have been made in the breeding of other fur: bearers. aueh as mink and marten, but how succesa- ful these have been I am not prepared to sa”

6 Dead ialiled MOLI i aka M ati aL i a wn se baadatanibba ‘ANK Gott, he’s a Schneider!” old Otto would mutter in deep relief. And so he was— a Schneider, huge beyond all bounds. As he sat at the cashier’s desk in the snug lit- tle butcher shop of his sire, the prodigious body of Salvatore hour by hour overflowed like a wagonload of hay, un- til only the bending, creaking legs of the chair remained in view. Customers glanced at him in surprise; star- tled babies took one look and ducked their heads in speechless fright. But even babies learned to trust and gaze in solemn wonder. For through the whole vast labyrinth of his veins the Schneider blood flowed quietly, as it had flowed for long generations, while from morning to night the eyes were serious, steadily fixed, as Salvatore made out the . bills. But blood is a mysterious thing. Already it had produced this exuberance out of Otto and Margarita, his wife, who were both ro- tund little people. What other surprise lurked deep in this fortress of flesh? Otto had never ceased watching. He was taking no chances. Nineteen years before, in that mighty weld- ing of peoples which is to bring forth some day a strange new race of men in the hybrid city of Greater New York Otto had become a daring pioneer. Reckless for once in his life, romantic and blind with emotion, he had married the lovely young daughter of an Italian green grocer near by. But when he had roused to what he had done and its pos- sible bearing upon his career; then Otto had opened his steady blue eyes and had never quite closed them since. On the christening day, when Margarita, in all the appealing weakness and charm of brand-new motherhood, begged that the bambino be named Salvatore, Otto gave in, But this was the last of Italy’s triumphs. Day by day and year by year, every trace of that fiery land of the south was toned away. Margarita grew plump and submissive and beaming; Otto grew stout and cheery and plump. And working in happy domestic ac- cord, they had bred in the pliable soul of their son all the virtues of order, frugality, thrift and hard, patient application to work. So here the budding monster sat, flower- inz slowly but surely into a sober business man. And the danger sprung from the reck- less past seemed buried forever behind. Salvatore suddenly heaved a monstrous, quivering sigh. A lovely April day was nearing its end Tne air was delicious with fresh, earthy odors. Even the ragged old tree across the street was donning a delicate garb of green, Children were scampering, shouting like mad; old people were blissfully dozing on door- steps; important young lovers came slowly by. The genial sun’s last beams poured over the tenement roofs and bathed it all in a rich, warm light. And from, the North River be- yond, deep and muffled and strangely dis- turbing, sounded the voice of an ocean liner outward bound for the world of the winds and the rolling waves eternally free. Restlessness, the insidious longings of nights and days, tugging at the heartstrings —all burst softly forth in Salvatore’s sigh. Then he began making out a new bill: Two pounds sirloin steak at 50c Three pounds wierner schnitzel at 40c, One pound All at once, with a crash cymbal, a hurdy-gurdy close by the open door. The noise was deaf- ening. With a frown of indignation Salva- tore looked around—and stared. Through the open window at his elbow a girl was gazing at him in amazement and dé- lisht. When Salvatore scowled with all the annoyance of pompous 18 her eyes only sparkled the brighter, her head nodded twice in vigorous approval, and in Italian she whispered: ‘“‘Madre de Dio, come splendido quel nomo, come magnifico!’’ Selvatore understood; turned suddenly a darker hue, and at this she threw back her airy young head and laughed so joyously that even he relented. On his face there appeared a quiet, indulgent smile; as a huge Newfoundland dog might stare at a kitten, so Salvatore looked down upon the girl. And, seeing this, she gave an odd, graceful hitch to her skirts, shifted her tambourine with a tinkle and stood there, wholly oblivious, under his eyes. Over her head was a kerchief of gray with little gold spangles; from under the edges the soft black hair strayed in negligent, lazy fashion, and under the black arched brows were two assertive gray eyes that now looked up again—challenging, mocking, elusive, curious, prying with eager scrutiny right into Salvatore’s soul. With a nervous laugh he tossed her a dime. She caught the coin in her tambourine, looked at it, flushed like a child and then flashed upon him a smile so intimate and warm that Salvatore grunted and fell back aghast. And at this the girl sprang nimbly away. With her old father she seized the crazy piano and trundled it swiftly down the street. And Sal- vatore, left alone, gazed dumfounded into the deepening twilight, his two great black eyes in scandalous disaccord with the rest of him; twinkling, eager, restless, dazed, almost ready to flash. But in the morning, running one ponderous finger slowly and carefully down the columns of figures, his heavy brows had lowered again, the eyes were buried, the whole mammoth face was sluggish as before. When again the drum and cymbals crashed and those disturbing gray eyes gazed in at him he slowly turned and surveyed the creature in grave disapproval. She dropped her eyes and stood abashed, and with a low grunt of satisfaction Salvatore resumed his work. After a time he glanced up again. She was standing motionless, both hands hanging limp at her sides. She did not even raise her eyes to his, but stood with grave interest, watching his work. So she came day after day in the balmy weeks that followed, derisive no longer, sneer- ing and prying no longer, respectfully cu- rious, humble, strangely intent, waiting until he should toss her the coin. The coin was his sign of dismissal, and the girl always obeyed. And now, with the first sharp thrill of uneasiness gone, he felt safe, this colossal man of 18. The whole silent drama was hid- den from Otto and Margarita by the high counter behind. And Salvatore, who until now had barely looked on the face of a wom- an, would look at the stranger with all the serene assurance of a sagacious old man of the world, and her big eyes would open wide and look frankly back into his. “My name is Gemma,” she said abruptly in the midst of one of these mutual stares. Sal- vatore good humoredly nodded and bent again over hi: work, feeling a curious, brand-new tingling up and down his spine. “T knew you could,’’ she said softly, still in Italian. ‘Could what?’’ growled Salvatore. “You are doing it now—speaking like me! You are Italian! I knewit! You are Italian —like me!”’ Salvatore looked hastily round, saw that he was alone in the shop, gave a grunt of relief, turned back and surveyed her in silence. ‘How old are you?” he asked gruffly. Gem- gma glanced over her shoulder, gave that pe- eulfarly graceful hiteh to her skirt, dropped of drum and wheeled into action his rosy. cheeks ma) me Ma, hes { Aa ‘ mt . —" ra afk * Ay - vr y —_— ~~ . a pi a cen ¥ is uth & 7 "4 7 Le THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1927. her head on one side and looked at him gravely. “peventeen,” she said. Salvators stared. He had thought her at least 25, and some- thing romantic inside of him dropped. But she saw the change in his face, and in an instant her eyes had half closed, she drew into herself, grew strange, mysterious, wise, like @ gypsy witch. . “IT am older than you,” she said slowly, with a provoking smile. He gave a short laugh of amusement. “I am,” she said calmly, ‘because I know more.”” And all at once she threw back her head and laughed till the tears shone bright in her eyes. She stopped. Her voices grew mysterious, thrilling and low: “What do you see,” she asked, ‘‘on the streets— in the night?’’ Salvatore watched her un- easily. “I mind my own business,” he growled. She eyed him with scorn. “That is stupid,’ she said severely. ““You should never mind your own business! You should watch!”® He scowled. “Watch what?” he asked, but the en- chantress was already back with the white old man at the curb, and together they trundled the battered old instrument noisily down the street. In the evening, seated in front of the shop, he loomed unassailable, placidly puffing great circles of smoke. When he saw the pair coming he made no sign, except to throw ons backward glance at Otto busily talking far in the rear of the shop. When they stopped at the curbstone, before him and the music burst gayly forth and the enchantress came forward, her tambourine in her hand—the unflinching monster only took out a match from his box and carefully held it over the bowl of his already glowing pipe. When she raised the tambourine slowly over her head and softly beat time to the music, and began bending and turning, her eyes dilating and filling with strange un- canny delight; when as the throb of the music came faster her lithe young body re- sponded, twisting, tossing and whirling fnto mad rollicking life—still Salvatore the Schneider sat motionless, strictly attending to business, puffing in dignified silence like an old Indian warrior chief. But he took out his pipe with a breath of relief as the crowd closed in between them, She came many nights. She sang. And her crude, deep voice, like her dancing, was of swiftly changing moods, now rough, im- patient, fiercely stirring; now low and ap- pealing and hungry, and again radiant, laugh- ing, mocking and gay. Some evenings Mar- garita would slowly steal out of the shop and stand with arms akimbo—beaming. Once with a sudden suspicion, she cast a look of uneasiness down at her precious son, but the giant gave such a stony grunt that Mar- garita breathed easy and listened ang watched to her heart’s content. One night in early May the old hurdy-gurdy stopped a block down the street. The moon shone bright and clear; he could see Gemma dim, fantastic and airy, dancing like a sprite. Then the crowd closed round her, and Salva- tore lounged far back on the stoop, con- fidently waiting until she should come, But a few moments later he sat up and scowled. The crowd was dispersing; the pair had relia “best gt get re sdeireBET it Seacrest pans: ssh eng att ceatteaat asa alpetapet ase ent tata sage set {Trapt estat Sage, EE sb getpiag sectors: 50! ape ttaa geese at etas cia atta: dpptttag Sareeeoy “Ae ATORE SCHNEIDER we ” * u : : t ' Fy, pe ata RR abe MRE ok eS RRA Et rT} . > | H ly WS f, AY - x - - Bat FRR WAS eet ARF EH Pest wrscreste ts congo. sistent cM let Sn: tome lics coreereigbeterst, gore ttre: seg. oro By ERNEST POOLE Her voice grew mysterious, thrilling and low: ‘“‘What do you see,” she asked ‘‘on the streets—in the night?” turned and were going back by the way they had come, This happened five nights. And then one evening slowly the huge bulk of Salvatore reared from the stoop, and with his black felt hat tipped carelessly back on his flaxen head, the stem of his long Dutch pipe in his teeth, and the bowl] in his great right hand, he lumbered off from the safe Schneider shop, off into the spark- ling night. Once loosed from his moorings, through the long balmy evenings of May, Salvatore roamed hither and thither: now aimlessly, dazed, seeing nothing at all; and not watch- ing life with genial eyes. Every night in the course of his rambles Salvatore would cautiously loiter into the dark outskirts of a crowd that had gathered round an old hurdy-gurdy. But never once did Gemma notice his presence. Often this | MAKING “DUMMIES” LIFELIKE ATE of a summer evening, e as you stroll about New York, you will find little groups of aimless people halted outside the show windows of the fashion shops of upper Broad- way and Fifth avenue, watching the window dressers drape and pose the dummies, If you linger long in such a group you are bound to hear somebody say: ‘‘Don’t they look natural, though! I wonder how they make life- like.”’ ‘ew them look so people realize that the $ wax ladies of the show windows, & who are doomed to pose forever with never a word of protest, : are often modeled on the lines @ of women of flesh and blood, some of them quite famous. L. E. Oates, a Los Angeles dummy maker, says that many screen stars have posed as the originals for wax clothes models in their time, and some of the most famous living models of the artists of the West Coast have been glad to do likewise. In making a wax mode] of a living woman, the first and most difficult step is the securing of a complete and faithful plaster cast of her. A girl’s skin is treated with a special prepara- tion, which permits the plaster to register every curve, but pre- vents it from sticking so closely that the fair model will have to dig it out of her epidermis with a penknife afterward. The plaster is applied in sec- tions, the legs, arms and trunk first being covered. It is allowed to remain on the living form until it hardens. Then it is cut off in sections and then sent to a sort of reassembling room, where, eventually, all the plaster parts are joined together. In taking the plaster cast the head of the girl is left until the last. It is the most dificult to model. When the artist begins to apply the plaster the girl must assume the expression she wants the dummy to wear, and hold: that expression to the end, otherwise the wax model will wear a gro- tesque, idiotic expression, and the job will be a total loss.» While the plaster is on the face, the living model breathes through a smal] tube inserted in the mouth or nose. When plaster casts of the girl’s body in its entirety have been obtained, they are, as has been indicated, reassembled, and the wax is poyred in. That is the simplest part of the whole proceeding, and it is accomplished quickly. And then, presto! You have be- fore your eyes a lady in wax who has all the eye-filling curves of the living original. Of course, the plaster cast In.so manipn- L. E. Oates, the Los Angeles “dummy” maker, taking a cast of the shapely form of a professional artist’s model lated that it does not register the hair, the purpose being to get the shape of the girl model’s skull rather than her coiffure. Ah expert hair dresser is called in, and fixes the wax lady up with an appropriate head of hair, long or short, bobbed or shingled, Then the artist in oils arrives. With oils and tempers, he reddens the lips and cheeks of the wax dummy, and gives the body subtle touches of color here and there to simulate the characteristic glow of perfect health. On the fingers and toes he paints nails. and then he undertakes the hardest job of all, which is putting the,coloring in the eyes. After the final bit of retouching has been done, the wax model is shipped to the shop that ordered it, and there it is at once put on duty in the show window, displaying in turn somebody's corsets, somebody else’s hosiery, the newest and fluffiest in lingerie, and maybe evening gowns, colossal moth would approach the flame many times in one night; between his approaches he would make studied detours around tenement blocks, or far down by the docks, strolling out on the end of an empty pier, gazing off into the gleaming old river, and smoking silently, except for now and then a mutf- fled grunt of longing. Evening by evening the tinkle and bang of the battered piano floated steadily down the west side of Manhattan, gach night farther away from the snug and respectable Schneider abode, each night farther down toward the teeming, scandalous, joyous quarter where live the children of the south. One night in the middle of June, after a slow and sagacious detour, he found the piano waiting just at the head of a long, dark street which he had never entered before. So nar- row it was that the tenement roofs seemed meeting above in the distance; below in the canyon for blocks and blocks the pavement was black with a surging mass; and in arches and long festoons, tiny lights by thousands were twinkling festive and, fairylike; and out of it all came the hum of voices so thrill- ing with gladness that Salvatore pushed back his hat and stood rooted fast to the spot. In a moment, caught by the tide, he was quickly jostled along. Towering high over all the heads, he looked delightedly this way and that at the swarthy faces, the flashing laughs, and the excited black eyes. All around him the soft flowing speech rose volu- ble, eager and gay. Songs. floated lightly about, and shouts and long ringing peals of mirth. At the third corner, on a rough platform over the street, a big brass band was booming; below were.old women and children and men and girls—a whirling, shrieking throng; and from.a fire escape close above two merry scamps were hurling confetti in snowy showers down over the heads. Suddenly, from behind him, Gemma came spinning on feet light as air, tossing and bending and stamping and banging the old tambourine, circling round him and laugh- ing unsteadily out of her half-closed eyes. In an instant, before he had time to escape, he found himself in a circle of hundreds of faces; glad shouts of “Gemma! Gemma!’’ rang from the crowds; and with one fiery, upward glance Gemma came spinning straight into his arms, jerked him round with a merry shriek—and Salvatore was dancing! Tumultuous cheers resounded. From the street all around, from row upon row of windows above, the eyes of his countrymen flashed into his. And with his whole great soul a “(fiery furnace, he gamboled and pranced and swung his arms; while high above all the shouting, and dominating it all, there suddenly thundered a laugh so pro- digious it tore the air! With one hand clutching Gemma’s young arm, his bulging cheeks palpitating with glee, the demeanor of Schneider forever lost and the soul of Italy bursting out in his eyes, Salvatore shook with the sheer joy of life and fairly bel- lowed his mirth! And truly it was a festival night. Before all the crowd did he kiss Gemma square on her blushing cheek. When in a rage she sprang off in the crowd, he chased her and caught her; seizing the handle of the piano, he turned it furlously round and round, and in sonorous Italian he shouted, ‘‘Dance— dance—dance!’’ Off she whirled, and as the crowd began roaring a ballad in time to her dancing, Salvatore joined in, catching words here and there and laughing between. And when at last the band music was over, Gemma sent home her weary old father; the giant gripped, the piano shafts, and _ together, chuckling, laughing, jabbering fast and low, those two went wandering off in the night. After that, every evening for weeks, Salva- tore would sluggishly rise from the Schnei- der home doorstep and lazily drift down the street, turn the corner, hasten his pace, and jog contentedly off to the appointed corner. Gemma was always waiting alone; for her stooping old father, worn by the work of the long, hot day, was only too glad to rest at night. And in the powerful hands of its jovial master the crazy old _ instrument crashed forth its music as though to pro- claim that the weary old world had had a fresh birth and that life was suddenly daz- zling new. Salvatore, the vagabond, beamed_upon life. Gemma, the witch, began teaching him how to pry into its secrets; with a slowly increas- ing intensity she forced his eyes open and held his gaze as though she would burn the love of it all forever deep into his soul. Sometimes as she danced, Salvatore watched her, all unconsciously his hand on the grinder would revolve faster and faster until, gasping for breath, the girl would stop and seize his arm. And then, quite forgetting the faces around, they would look at each other and laugh till the tears rolled down their glistening cheeks. Through the midsummer nights the bel- lowing law*h of Salvatore rose above all the street’s bedflam of sounds, like a huge adver- tisement announcing the fun. It thickened the crowd: ft doubled the penntfes: and when Gemma saw this she taught him to bring it in at just the right moments in perfect ac- cord with her dances and songs. So startling was the effect and so captivating to the simple Italians that, little by little, he added rough jokes of his own, loud, indignant remarks, pathetic roars of appeal to bystanders. And the great voice of the jovial monster, ringing free and glad in his mother tongue, seemed heralding forth to all the world the mirth and the loves and the throbbing life of the happy- eo-lucky South. But when at last the streets were hushed, when the fire escapes were filled with the sleepers, the moon sank over the tenement roofs, and the stars grew dim in the misty skies, then Salvatore would go slowly back as though drawn hy some irresistible power, back to his neat and snowy couch and sleep and the orderly business life in the shop of his Teuton sire. And here by day, as week followed week, over the cheery home there crept an ominous shadow. The anxious parents suspected; but knowing their son, they resolutely refrained from the questions that might only bring on the storm. Margarita was silent and guilty, feeling that she was the source of it all. Otto barely uttered a word, indignantly hack- ing and sawing his steaks. Only each morn- ing when, in increasing numbers, the bills came back for correction, he carefully looked them over, went to the desk and silently pointed out the mistakes. And little by little, from the innermost depths of Salvatore’s soul, there rose insistent and sharp and clear the still, small voice of Schneider. In the ominous silence he scowled. He scowled at the glances that he could feel, at the whispered words that came to his ear. He scowled at every mistake in the bills as it loomed a mute accusing witness under Otto’s finger. He melted and burned with the :id- summer’s heat, he cursed his head that was aching and dull from the sleep he had missed in his rovings. He ground his teeth and strove to be careful, clear and exact. But in his work the mistakes swelled day by day, and the gloom of the butcher shop deepened. So through the dragging, sweltering weeks a Schneider by day and a Salvatore by night struggled to win that mammoth soul. ; At last one stifling morning in August, when the short, rosy finger of Otto pointed to five mistakes in one bill, then up leaped Salvatore! Speechless, he stood all aquiver with mortification and rage. Undaunted, vig- ilant, careful, stout little Otto looked steadily up; his breath came hard, but when he spoke his voice was low and solemn: ‘So! So—my poy—now you see! No man can attend to his beesness when he is a vagabond effery night! * * * So! * * * And now you must choose.’”’ Here Otto suddenly swallowed hard, but his voice was quiet as ever: ‘‘You must choose for yourself, my poy,” he said. “I will do noddings to boss you.’”’ For one moment longer the giant glared down, Then without warning his head jerked back, the great neck shook, and for the first and only time the house of Schneider rang with that scandalous bellow of mirth. It ended. And Salvatore lurched from his desk and out through the door and went un- steadily, blindly, swiftly up the street. Back in the shop, Margarita stood like one in a dream. Slowly the tears welled in her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. She turned to her husband and laid one hand on his trembling arm. “Otto,’’ she whispered imploringly, ‘‘Otto! Don’t —don’t be so angry!’’ Her voice broke in a frightened sob. “Otto,” she wailed, “I did my best! how could I help being born?” Again did Otto swallow hard. “You couldn’t help,’” he said tenderly. “You vas already born—you couldn’t help.” Sie squeezed her hand reassuringly. ‘‘Wait,” he said, ‘‘he will come back, Margarita, he is a goot poy! He will come back!” And little Margarita’s sobs gradually sub- sided, she dried her eyes and sat quietly down to her sewing. And after an hour of silent work, she looked up with a guilty light in her eyes. ‘“‘Madre de Dio,” she thought, “‘what a magnificent laugh!’”’ And Margarita. sighed. Far and wide did Salvatore roam over Manhattan that day, dark and lowering, like a bull who has broken his pasture bounds. But at night, haggard and pale, the prodi- gal came home. He said not a word, but went up to bed, and fell into heavy sleep. The next day he was up bright and early. Without one break or even a grunt he worked at his desk through the long, sultry hours. And that evening, and for three nights there- ufter, Salvatore sat on the doorstep, quietly smoking his pipe of peace, of honest repose from a day well spent, But on the fourth evening, moment by moment, the mountainous bulk of him seem-. ed to tighten. Suddenly, with a breath that was like an explosion, he rose, jammed his broad black hat firmly down over his eyes, and with a look of heroic decision strode off toward the old place.of meeting, gttats tepegage get Wagagoprevvgy stadt > gage robes Po sige : ) i a a HT Swinging sharply around the corner, he met Gemma face to face. At first she did not see him. She stood by the old hurdy- gurdy, alone, and staring across the street in @ way that made Salvatore stop short. When she saw him, Gemma gave a yuick gasp and both hands leaped to her throat. Then her face cleared and relaxed; and look- ing up into his scowling visage the girl laughed triumphantly, long and low. But Salvatore was in no joking mood. With a solemn businesslike frown he ad- vanced, took her hand, squeezed it until she winced with the pain, and growled. “Now I know what 1 want to do! We will. go to a priest, we will be married, and then we will go to my father and mother. Let him try! What can he say? My mother herself was: Italian!’’ As Gemma looked up, her face slowly changed, grew utterly amazed. For a moment she seemed to grasp nothing. But all at once her eyes fairly crackled with wrath. ‘‘Me?” she gasped. ‘‘Like your mother?” “Yes,” said Salvatore, suddenly beaming. “Don’t be afraid. You can be just the same.” ‘Me? * * * Me the same?” She started to laugh, stopped, looked at him again, pursed her red lips and spoke in a tone of wither- ing scorn: “Salvatore! I have seen your mother in the shop! And rather than be a Signora Schneider like her I would wrap my throat tight, tight in my hair, and pvll and pull until I was dead! Ugh!’ She threw up both expressive young hands. Salvatore was dumb with amazement, Thrice he tried and could not utter a word. But as he glared down at Gemma, slowly his cheeks puffed out and out in swelling indigna- tion. “Good-by!” he burst out at last. He flounced around heavily and started away. “No! Salvatore; No—no—no!”’ Her strong, supple fingers clung tight to one of his arms; the girl was panting between her teeth. An instant she seemed hesitating. “No!’? she whispered. “I will not tell!” ‘Tell what?’’ he asked roughly. She shook her head, and her face broke into a flashing smile. “Salvatore, come.” Her voice was coaxing and tremulous now. “Come. One evening more—only one. Itis not so much. When Il dance I can think; when I sing I can see! And then I will tell you what we can do! We will find a good way, a beautiful way! Come! Salvatore! Come!”’ And Salvatore gave in. That night they hardly knew where they wandered: they barely saw the swarthy faces pressing close around. The eyes of Gemma kept hungrily turning up to the face of her lover, striving to grip again the vagabond spirit that she had wakened to life, Salva- tore himself could feel’this part of him risé to respond. But his old self, the old Schnef- der self of sobriety, order, and thrift, this too rose to the struggle. And while the witch danced till the tenement street was a mass of delighted faces, while she sang with fiery heat the old mountain songs that had once made him thrill with strange new dreams and longings, Salvatore stood at his post firm as the ancient Colossus of Rhodes. His face was fixed in a gloomy scowl, through which the new soul of him broke only in faint occasional gleams. And the bellowing laugh was silent now, buried deep in the fortress. Stoutly did the house of Schneider stand the storm that night. At last when the struggle had gone on for hours, after a desperate tingling effort which brought tremendous applause, when Gemma turned and met as before only that stony expression of gloom, her dusky face grew suddenly white. She came to him swiftly, stamped her foot, threw her lithe young body into a posture of terrible scorn, and with one hand outstretched and shaking, the girl poured forth her pent-up wrath. | “Now go! Go back to your Schneiders, your sausages, cows—and pigs! Go back! Go to sleep! Grow fatter than all the pigs in the world—and eat! You are good for nothing—nothing—nothing! Go!” salvatore looked down at his a short angry laugh, and turned quickly away. And Gemma, facing the crowd with cheeks that now were flaming, went into peal upon peal of wild hysterical laughter. “Who,” she shouted at last, play while I dance?’’ Three galiant countrymen sprang to the grinder. And laughing and shrieking in ga: little bursts, the airy witch whirled round and round, till the whole street echoed with long and resounding ‘‘Bravos!’’ of applause. Since then, in the snug little butcher shop, nine long happy years have glided smoothly by. And now each morning, his books held firmly under his arm, a neat and decorous youngster trots dutifully to school. His face is plump, his stiff little flaxen curls peep demurely from under his cap; as he goes, his serious, steady blue eyes, attending strictly to business, are fixed determinedly straight ahead. And to give not the slight- est chance for a doubt, his name is Otte Gottfried Schneider. (Copyright, 1927, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) MONUMENT TO BOLL WEEVIL. As an epitaph to the old South and a herald of the new, the town of Enterprise, Ala., boasts a bronze monument to the boll weevil, which has long been regarded as the curse of the cotton growers. The Mayor of Enter- prise, in a letter published by the American Magazine, explains the reason for the monu- ment. “The approach of the boll weevil in 1915 wiped this whole county off its feet,” he says, “and jarred us from center to circumference, as cotton was the principal crop. Now we are raising peanuts principally, and we take great pride in saying that this county holds the world’s record in its production of pea- nuts.”’ Dr. J. Russell Smith, professor of economic geography at Columbia University, takes the mayor’s letter as the text for a scientifie prediction as to the future of the Southern States. “The saving of the South will come through diversified agriculture,’ he declares. “More than any other section, it has a great op- portunity for easy expansion of agricultural | products. In the past, the Southern farmer has raised a little cotton and a little corn. But the cotton belt can easily raise two crops a year—clover or oats in winter, corn in early summer, together with some legume such as peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans or velvet beans. “The next step forward is for the South to become a dairy and meat-producing region.” feet, and gave went “who will HOTTEST SPOTS ON EARTH. While you are fanning yourself, perhaps you may find solace in the fact that there are other places in the world far hotter. The world’s hottest spot, according to records cited by Popular Science Monthly, is Azizia, in the semidesert plain of Jefara, northern Africa. There the thermometer rose to 136.4 degrees in the shade on September 13, 1922. The average yearly temperature for the re- gion is 70.8 degrees. . Previou ly the high record had gone to Greenland Ranch on the edge of Death Valley, California, where the thermometer once reached 134 in the shade, and where it goes higher than 120 degrees every summer.

OU know the tough part about a Hero is that he has to eat. We take care of them with too much Newspaper space and not enough permanent endowment. We have great fellows back from the War that can show you two Medals for every sack of Flour they have in the House. They got a Foreign Decoration for every American Dollar they have. Heroing is one of the shortest-lifed professions there is. Of Liberty. We do something for every Fool thing in the world. One time in New York I played at a big Benefit to get a Statue of Liberty for Russia. Now can you imagine Russia with a Statue of Lib- erty? We don’t even know if they want one or not. If they do want one, we will loan them gurs. Of Scientists. I wish those Scientists run the Rail- roads. It’s funny those Guys can tell you just the minute when something is going to happen 10 million miles away and none of them has ever been smart enough to tell you what day to put on your heavy underwear. They are always studying out what some other Worlds and Planets are do- ing. Better find out what this one is doing. It’s been acting mighty crazy here lately. Long as these Planets and Worlds keep on passing we are all right; it’s when they don’t pass each other! But that will be too late to do anything about it. Of Conferences. I have often said it is cheaper for America to go to War than it is for us to Confer with anybody. It’s funny, but we can talk our heads off until it comes to a time when it means some- thing and then we are as Dumb as an Oyster. Of A Great Invention. Mr. Ford tried his first car out in the room at his boarding house and it made so much noise that Mrs. Ford said it kept Edsel awake. They moved it into the street and since: then it has kept Everybody awake. Of One Famous Year. In 1914, in addition to Archduke Francis of Austria being assassinated, and causing a war for the least reason that any war had ever been started, why Chauffeurs demanded a room and bath over the Garage for the first time in Automobile History. Germany had some land over in China, so Japan de- clared War on Germany not on account of the shooting of the Archduke, but they thought it would be a good time to get this land, Germany’s army being busy somewhere else. So on August 20 Japan declared. War on a Nation they had never seen. On August 21, 1914, Rubber Horns on Automobiles were re- placed by Sirens. They found Pedes- trians were used to the Rubber Honk Honk ones, and could get out of the way, but with the Siren ones they would scare you so bad you would be very little trouble to hit. Of Cocktails. Just after Prohibition started in edu- cating people to drink, every one thought when they entertained Guests it was smart to serve Cocktails. Now it’s necessary. Unless you use different Guests every time. Of Muscle Shoals. Congress has been arguing for years over what to do with Mussel Shells, Ala. ~-Henry Ford made an offer on it one time; so that made Congress think it was worth something. So now the Gov- ernment is thinking about running it themselves. They think they can do it better than Ford. You just wait until they try making those things and they will see it is not so easy. To see one of those bumping along the road it don’t look like it would be hard to make. But I bet you the Government will never make ’em as good as Ford. Mr. Ford was telling me himself how he would work it if he got this Musent Sell. He was going to take these parts all up the River and drop ’em in and let ’em as- semble themselves as they went over the Dam. Then he had one older one that would teach the others to swim out on their own power, i Of Wide Open Spaces. We have had a great deal of ridicule on the stage and kidding in the papers about the expression, “from the wide open spaces where men are men.” That of course was started by the _ bone- headedness of some Scenario Title Writer in the Movies, who would put in such a Title and then the audience ‘would see some wavy haired Bird that had been weaned out of an Ice Box and raised in the shade of a Radiator. Well. regardless of those misleading Titles there are Men out there, and the broad- er the spaces the more real Men you will find and don’t let anybody tell you there ain’t. Of Rich Men. All of our disgustingly rich men are at a loss to know what to do with their money. Funny none of them ever thought of giving it back to the people they got it from. Instead of these men giving money to found Colleges to pro- mote learning, why don’t they pass A Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anybody learning anything? And if it works as good as the Prohibition one did, in 5 years we would have the smart- est race of people on earth. Of A Test for Liquor. The Chemists have a Steel Bar they _ » put down in the neck of the Bottle.

(Kerosene, or Lysol or anything mild.) Of a Smart Girl. [ called on a Business man at his of- ice the other day. When the Girl outside his office phoned him, he said for me to come right in. The Girl looked aston- ished at his quick reply, and said to me: “Why you can get in there as quick as a Bootlegger.”’ Of Politicians. Every politician, the minute Con- gress and the Senate adjourn, rushes home, renews his Notes at the Bank and starts in on the Lecture or Chau- tauqua platform. Of Public Salaries. The bad part about the whole struc- ture of our paying Public officials is that we name a sum and give them all the same, regardless of ability. No other business in the World has a fixed sum to pay all their employes the same salary. Take, for instance, Borah! : if our Government was run as a Business and not as a Charity Organization, how much would you have to pay him? How many Congressmen and Senators is he worth to us? Yet he has no chance to get any more money than some Bird who, when sent there, it takes him two years to find the Capitol with a Guide Book. Even his kinfolks back home have to think twice before tney can femember where he is. If some effi- ciency expert would work out a scheme where each one would be paid according to his ability, I think we would save a lot of money. I don’t know why Mr. Coolidge, as one of his economy meas- ures, has not thought of that. But I guess a fellow in a high position like that can’t think of everything. Of a Proposed Tax, There should be a Tax on every man that wanted to get a Government ap- pointment or be elected to office. In two years that tax alone would pay our National debt. Half the people in the United States would rather collect one dollar from the Government than get $10 from an Individual. Of Bolsheviks. England can teach any country in the World how to handle discontent. (Maybe it’s because they have more of it.) They give ’em a Park, Hyde Park, they even furnish the Soap Boxes (as the former contents of the Box is generally as foreign to the Speakers as his na- tionality is to the Country he is speak- ing in). Give ’em a Hall.or a Box to stand on and say “Sic ’em; knock every- thing in sight” and when they have denounced everything from Bunions to Capitalistic Bath Tubs, then they will go home, write all week on another speech for the following Sunday and you never have any trouble with them. It’s just like an exhaust on an Auto- mobile. No matter high-priced the Car, you have to have an exit for its bad air, and Gasses. They have got to come out. It don’t do any particular harm, unless you just stand around behind smelling of it all the time, but who would want to follow a Car to smell of its exhaust when you could just as well be in the Car riding? Now sometintes there is a loud ex- plosion, and everybody on the Streets will turn around and see what itis. The minute they see, they will go right on their business. They know there has been no damage done. So that’s how it is with this so-called Radical Element. Let them have a Park or a Hall as an exhaust Pipe. Then when they have some particular Noted Denouncer, why, you will hear a loud report. You will listen, or read what he said and go on about your business the same as the listeners to a backfire. You know it’s necessary. Of Important Folk. We lost Roosevelt, a tough blow. I thought in three months Turkey would hold a protectorate over us. But here we are still kicking. So, if we can spare men like Roosevelt and Wilson there is no use in any other Politician ever taking himself serious. (Copyright, 1927, the McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) By HARRY HITES “Well, I see that Washington celebrated ‘Independence Day’ in its own inimitable style,’ said Capt., Bingle, as he strolled into the office, appropriated the best chair in sight, refused a cigarette and loaded his ca- pacious mouth with a generous portion of Brown Mule. “We had a safe and sane Fourth, if that’s what you’re talking about,” the editor re- marked, carefully shifting the cuspidor within easy reach of the doughty Captain. “There were plenty of patriotic speeches, nice, calm parades, searchlights playing on the Wash- ington Monument and a lot of fireworks, touched off by experts who guaranteed not to singe one single, solitary eyelash.” ‘Well, what I don’t understand is why any man in the District can celebrate ‘Independ- ence Day,’ the Captain continued. “In the first place, most of the men in the- District are married, and any one who has ever rose up on his hind legs before a preacher or a judge and said ‘I will’ a few times, knows that there ain’t no state of independence in the Matrimonial sea. Having set sail on that same sea on four distinct and momentous oceasions, I feel qualified to speak as one having authority. “But where does this. here ‘independence’ come in for anybody? In the first place, as I recollect from reading history, some of our forefathers declared this country in a state of independence after a sort of controversy with our present good neighbor, John Bull, on the subject of ‘taxation without representation.’ Who represents anybody in the District of Columbia, and if so, why? ‘‘Somehow or another, too, I’d gathered the idea, in my journeys around this land of the spree, that the flying of the flag of the United States was a patriotic privilege to be enjoyed by any American citizen. That just goes to prove that residents of the District are not regarded as citizens. Some of them thought they were and put out their flags along the sidewalks on the Saturday before the Fourth. It wasn’t long until policemen, armed with orders from the Commissioners, were order- ing the flags in, and in they went. “Back when I was a boy, and long after I'd ceased to get by without a razor, they used to shoot a few fireworks on the Fourth, just to impress the day on the juvenile minds. They even went so far as to give the boys a quarter each (that was a lot in them days) to buy firecrackers, and the boys were allow- ed to shoot them. I saw a lot of them same boys who had been educated up to using a little gunpowder, go into the Spanish-Ameri- “fF understand you had an ‘Independence Day’ can war and make things hot over there in Cuba, and from all I hear, the gang that went overseas in ’seventeen, most of them having had a few firecrackers in their youth, knew just what powder and other high explosives were for.

After a short residence here a man just na- turally realizes that he doesn’t have to think. It’s all done for him. Somebody thinks how fast he can drive his automobile, if he owns one; just when he can go and when he must stop and how long he can stay stopped, if he wants to shep a little. Somebody thinks who will make the best officials to decide on what he shall do. Somebody thinks whether he can display a flag and I’m looking forward to the day (and it don’t seem so derned far away, either) when somebody will think what he shall wear. I don’t think anybody will ever try to think what the women shall wear, celebration in Washington.” for they wear little enough now and the thinkers, or best minds, or whatever it is that decide things, like the present-day views and also fear the effect of style regulation on the women’s vote back in the United States where they have a vote. “Now about this Will Rogers fellow, J told you that he’d be writing about that scar until he wrote enough to make the scar pay for itself,’’ the Captain announced, starting on a new tack. “What the Billy Blue Blazes has Will Rogers to do with this affair? demanded the editor. “Well, he’s got such a cinch, I’m jealous of him,’’ the Captain admitted. ‘‘He never has to think up a start for his stories. All he has to do is to write ‘All I know is what I read——-!’ ”’ “‘Cut it out,” interrupted the editor. pulled that line two weeks ago.” “Just for that,’’ the Captain countered, “I won't tell you about my proposed flight around the world and my plans for provision- ing the trip. Well, at least not today.”’ “You |BEAUTY AND YOU «mc rar rusr so By Viola Paris The really young girl should not adopt sophisticated clothes She should keep the charm and bloom of youth that are rightly hers. The other day I saw a little lady who was mourning about her age. She didn’t look old, but she had a little sister who was truly young, and her envy was a pityful thing. Her expensively smart and very sophisticated dress didn’t comfort her, nor her truly lovely if a bit extravagant jewelry. She smeked one cigarette after another all evening, but these, too, failed to soothe her—And how old do you suppose she was? Twenty! If she were an isolated case, I shouldn't have bothered to tell you about her, but she’s all too lamentably usual. The tragedy of it is that she needn’t exist at all, for the youth that she envies in her 16-year-old sister might so easily be hers if she would only exercise a little common sense. Shedding Ten Uscless Years. If I were given a free hand, I should first wash the heavy make-up off this girl’s face, then take away her long.-earrings, change her very low and very formal frock for a little thing in simple chiffon—and she would look at least two years younger than her real age—10 years younger than the 30 she might easily be taken for. Nowadays, there are easily 25 years during which a woman needs to change very little. From 20 to 45, she can remain slim, smart, youthful. Youthfulness, today, is so com- mon that nobody believes in it! But the authentic bloom that fades somewhere before the average girl’s twenty-first or twenty-sec- ond birthday—that is another thing. It is something that should be jealously guarded and make-up. 4, yy ri Today we return to the mystery of the missing Whilk onions. Briefly, the history of the case is as follows: Henry Whilk planted onions in his garden. They failed to appear. Whilk, in a dilemma, notified the police. Inspector Vedder, of Scotland Yard, has arrived and taken charge of the case. “The first thing to do,’’ said the in- spector, “is to find out who stole the onions. Now, Mr. Whilk, do you know of any person or persons hereabouts who likes onions and who therefore might possibly have a motive for committing the crime?” “I know of nobody so far,’ Whilk, perplexed. “How about your servants?” asked Ved- der. “I'd trust any of them with my life,’’ de- clared Whilk. “I Know none of the house- hold took those onions.”’ ‘Do any of them like onions?” asked Ved- said Mr. der. “Well, the cook said once she liked them stewed.”’ “‘Ah,”’ said Vedder, taking out a notebook and jotting down a note which read, ‘‘Cook likes stewed onions. Important. Weather mild. See Hawkins about insurance. Re- member to bring home thread for Nellie.’’ Onions Were Quite Safe. “Ah,’’ Vedder continued, ‘‘so the cook likes stewed onions, eh? Were the onions you planted stewed?’’ “Oh, no, sir,” said Whilk. Vedder was plainly disappointed. “Not stewed, eh. You are quite about that, Mr. Whilk?’’ ‘**Positive.”’ “That lets the cook out, then;’’ said Ved- sure der, rather reluctantly, and he turned again © to the notebook, “Has anybody an eraser?” he asked. “I - have to erase this note I made about the cook now that she has been eliminated from the case. It wouldn’t be fair to the cook to have this sort of thing on record if she were innocent, now, would it?” “No,” said Whilk warmly, “it would be a blot on her scutcheon.”’ “Oh,” said the inspector, “has scutchecn?”’ “And how,’’ said Whilk. “T have a cousin named .Miss Rafferty,” said Inspector Vedder. dope to make her sleep.”’ “You don’t mean ‘Scutch’ Rafferty, stroke of the Wellesley crew in 1894, by any chance, do you?” asked Whilk. “T certainly do,’’ said the Inspector, you know her?” “And how,” said Whilk; ‘“‘so ‘Scutch’ takes dope, does she?’’ “So they tell me.” “Well, I’m not surprised,’’ said Whilk, “ always thought there was something funny about her. She used to come into class on her hands and knees. Now, you know, after all, when a girl does that.’”’ “She always did it,’ sadly. “T know,” objected Mr. Whilk, “‘but good grief, if all our young college students took to coming into class on their hands and knees where would we be?” she gota Scutcheon ‘She took “Did said the inspector, “T don’t know,’’. agreed Mr. Vedder, “I guess it would be pretty terrible because the future of our country lies in the hands of these young people.’’ ‘‘And how,’’ assented Mr. Whilk. “You wouldn’t mind ‘Schutch’ coming into class on her hands and knees once in a while,” said Inspector Vedder, “but every day! Well, I don’t blame the president of the college for getting sore. Wife Takes Steps in Proper Spirit. “Tt don’t blame him for getting sore,” Whilk qualified, ‘“‘but I dont’ think he should have thrown her downstairs.” ‘How many stairs were stairs?’’ “Four, I think.’’ “Oh, four wouldn’t harm her. I’ve thrown the wife down as many as twenty stairs.” “That’s all right with two old friends like a man and his wife,’’ said Inspector Ved- der; “but the president didn’t know ‘Scutch’ well enough to throw her downstairs.”’ ‘‘Well, all I can say is, it’s a swell way of getting acquainted.” : “T’m not here to argue about that,”’ said Vedder, a bit impatiently, ‘You go to your church and I’ll go to mine. What I’m here for is to locate your onions. Now who’s got an eraser? Several minutes passed, but no eraser ap- peared, A curious glint came into Vedder’s eyes. His chin became hard and jutty. He was now the officer from Scotland Yard, a man not to be trifled with. He tapped ominously on the ground with his foot and gazed severe- ly at every one. He finally spoke, biting each word as it came from his mouth. ‘‘All — I—can—say—is,” he declared, “That — somebody —better—produce—an—- eraser—and—produce—-it—mighty—quick.”’ “And how,” said Mr. Whilk, trembling and nodding in vigorous agreement with the minion of the law. (To be continued). there in the by its possessor, fostered in every way pos- sible, kept as long as all her cleverness can keep it. Stay Young While You Can. The only way to retain this authentic early bloom is resolutely to eschew the “‘youthful’” fashions quite permissible.to those who give a HP 1g m “ais X ‘a { > ° '. 4 2200 Lan the lie to the calendar—the sprightly 2390 to-45s for whom the general run of the mode is made. The girl in her teens should re- member that she will have the opportunity to wear such clothes for years and years to come, so she needn’t wear them how, Yet how few are clever enough to see it! Others sigh and shake their heads at the shoes with dizzy heels and too much trimming that even their 14 year-old daughters want to buy—and generally manage, some- how, to acquire. They sigh, too, when pearls are multiplied, though the single simple string would be so much the better choice. The mother herself uses a good deal of make- up—not because she wants to, but because she has to. The daughter should use very little of it, and no lipstick at all—unless the lips are unusually pale, and the stick of her choice merely leaves them with the normal healthy pink look natural to the lips of the average younger girl. She should avoid a hard marcel, too. No smart woman today wants a coiffure that is obviously artificial, but such things reach a height of their un- desirability when they are adopted by the truly young. As for plucking ‘the eye- brows—nobody does it any more, except a few pathetic little girls who know no better. Clothes for the Truly Young. Hats, too, should be simple. feather, or an effect of much trimming of any kind. The simple hat is the smart hat today, no matter what its wearer’s age. Kiven the elaborately jeweled pin, the final touch of chic for the older woman, is not a wise choice for the young girl. Dresses, simple for everybody should be doubly so for her. Chiffon for the evening, with the bouffant taffeta reserved for those to whom it is beconfing. Materials such as jersey, tweed, crepella, crepe de chine. georgette, printed or plain, for day wear, and these treated with the least possible elaboration. Always the lower heel, the simple glove, the fresh flower-like perfume, the minimum of jewelry—and—no cigarettes. To smoke like a bonfire may comfort the nervous, older woman trying so hard to be youthful, but the girl who is truly young should leave this indulgence to those who think they need it. These are the rules that are exemplified in the smart younger girls—one sees in New York—girls whose families have seen to it that they had a good background to fit them for taking their places in the great world. To transgress these rules is to show oneself not “in the kKnow.’’ In short, it may be said that to be sophisticated before the age of 20 consists in keeping one’s clothes as simple as possible. (Copyright, 1927, Never a by Vogue.) FINDS GENEALOGY STLY “BUNK” “Tracing one’s ancestry is a rank fallacy,” declares Albert Payson Terhune, who has just completed a year’s study of genealogical research for the American Magazine and is now attacking the growing fad. ‘In the first place, the people realize that perhaps millions of ancestors, good and bad, have intervened between themselves and the illustrious person from whom they claim to have descended,” he says in summing up his studies, ‘Secondly, several million other people, if they took the trouble, could boast of the same’lineage. Thirdly, boasting of a great ancestor is a confession of inferiority if the descendant has not lived up to the repute of his forbear. “The most common ancestral claim,” says Mr. Terhune, illustrating the weakness of the average case, ‘‘is relationship to William. the Conqueror. Simple arithmetic shows these facts: “Seience allows about 33 years to each generation, which shows that there have been 26 or more generations between a person living today and William the Conqueror, who was in his prime in 1066. “The descendant had grandparents, eight so on. Continuing to double 26 times. il will show about 40,000,000 ancestors since 1066. So the descendant would have only a furty-millionth of the conqueror’s blood, ‘In all Great Britain and France in 1066 two parents, four great-grandparents ,and » there were not forty million people, so if anyone has had forty million ancestors since that date, he is certainly descendeq from William. Also he is descended from almost. evéry robber and homicide and mendicant and genius and celebrity who happened to ba alive in the conqueror’s time and earlier. “The common fallacy is the result of trac- ing one particular line and ignoring a thou- sand other branches of a family. I know of one New Englander who succeeded in tracing his ancestry directly to Adam with just as much accuracy as many have traced theirs back to Charlemagne or other historical figures. “Another barrier to effective genealogical research is the old time system of family names, adopted from residence or occupation, Thus John Hill, who lived on a hill, and John Church, who lived by the church, may have been the closest relatives, yet their descend- ants go off on wide tangents in traeing two families.”’ It is far better, says Mr. Terhune, to de- cree: “I had no ancestors to boast of, but you can bet my descendants are going to have.”’ WHY GAME IS WILD.

A few vears ago I spent my summer on a farm, where I had a great opportunity for o%serving wild life, especially the life of the birds. Ll was interested in all the birds, but I was especially so in a couple of meadowlarks who built their nest in some bushes near the grounds. A few days after I arived at the farm this nest was occupied by three little birds. I watched the nest every day from a dis- tance. One day I decided to examine the little birds more closely, so I Went up to the nest and picked up each litlte one. The mother and father seemed very excited and flew around the screaming as loud as they could, while the babies made almost as much noise 1 soon went away, hoping that they would calm down. But the next morning when I came back I found the mother and father still in the tree and still wildly scream- ing.

Ted and Uarol sat on the front steps of their home Each gazed gloomily into the blue eves of the other. “It isn’t fair, it isn’t. I just think it’s too mean for anything,’ and Carol shook her yellow curls vigorously. Ted stood up and eyed her with all the dignity of his 9 vears “I’m going to run away!” he announced. “Run away! Where to?” queried his sis- ter. “I don't Know, but I’m going to get even with them for going away without us or trying to go away.” “Can I go?. Please let me, Ted,’’ pleaded Carol. “Running away isn’t for girls, but I spose you can. C’mon. I guess I got sandwiches enough for both of us.” He held out his hand to the little girl and the two trudged down the walk. At the gate Carol hesitated, but an impatient tug of her arm made her hurry on. After a morning of ceaseless walking, noon found them in a wood, well away from Lakeville. They ate greedily the meager lunch Ted had provided and, too weary to go on, curled up beneath a tree and slept. When they awoke the sun had just set and @ chill mist was settling over the woodland. “Le’s go home,” said Carol, pulling her light sweater closer about. her. “W-w-we can't!’’ stammered Ted. “Why not?” “We're lost!’’ Carol thereupon began to cry, and Ted watched her helplessly until she cried her- self to sleep. He tried in vain to find the route by which they had come into the little clear- ing, but it was growing dark and he dared not venture far trom Carol. Finally he de- cided that the best thing to do would be to sit down and wait until some one came. An hour passed, during which he heard only those sounds common to a forest at night. Suddenly he heard some one ecalling in the distance. A moment later it came again, this time much closer. The third, it was only a short distance away and he answered boldly. In a few minutes he heard a tramping in the brush and several men carrying lanterns. A tall gentleman stepped forward quickly and took Carol in his arms. “Daddy!” she cried and Ted ran to him eagerly. ‘Whatever made you run away, children?” asked Mr. Johnson. “We heard mother tell Mrs. Morton you and her were going away for a long time wand leave us home, and we wanted to get sven,’’ answered Ted. Their father laughed merrily. “What a joke! What you overheard was part of a play your mother is rehearsing!” The mother and father had flown away and the babies were just letting out an occasional peep. I thought perhaps there might have been an enemy of the birds around that had scared them away, but after looking all over the vicinity of the nest I couldn’t find any disturbing element, so I went home again. The next time I came I was horrified to find the little birds dead. I couldn’t imagine why the mother had left them to starve, so I went around worrying about it all day. That night 1 told the story at the supper table, and one of the men asked me if I had touched the little ones. I told him I had. Then he said that was the trouble, for some birds will never come back to their nest if it has been touched by human hands. Since that day I have never gone nearer than 10 feet of any nest, and I think if you are a real friend of the birds the best thing vou can really do for them is to leave them entirely alone until the little birds have flown.

DOROTHY LAUDER (age 14.) 1629 Wisconsin avenue, The Vengeance of a Fairy. Once upon a time a fairy became very angry at a young prince and swore that she would have vengeance on all mortals. She made a large glass castle in which she placed a small pearl. One looking into tre castle saw instead of a small pearl one as large as a tea cup, as the glass maguified it many times. The castle was guarded by fierce dragons, and as years passed many men lost their lives trying to obtain the great pearl, In a land not far away from the castle there ruled a king, who, every year, sent one of his subjects to try to get the pearl. to great was his wish to possess the pearl that. in order to make every one whom he sent put forth his best efforts, he beheaded all who failed. In this kingdom many fruits were raised, and as the birds sometimes ate the fruits they were very much hated, and_all who cou;d be were killed. There lived in this iand an old man who did not believe in killing and pestering the birds. He had the most beautiful: bird that Was ever seen, This bird had fluttered into his orchard with a broken wing, and because the old man had cared for it it had become attached to him and had always remained in his orchard. The day was very near when the king should send one of his’ subjects to try his luck at the glass castle. People dreaded thit day lest some one of their family should ie chosen to go. At last the day came. All the men wete gathered at the king’s palace for the king to choose, When the king saw the old man he at one chose him to go, for he hated birds and this was a good chance to get rid of him and his pet. The old man started out taking his bird with him because he did not want to leave it at the mercy of the bird haters. When they neared the castle, to the old man’s surprise, his bird began speaking: ‘Old man, you have been kind to me aud { will do you a good turn by getting the pear! for you.’ ; | With these words he flew away, over tle‘ dragons, entered the palace and brought the pearl to the old man. The old man brought the pear) to the king. When the king saw what a small pear] it was he flew into a fit of rage and stabbed himself. The old man was immediately chosen kirg, and he and his bird lived happity ever after. ' ETHEL MAY BRENNAN (age 138). 214 B street southeast. 0 XH * f:. eee *.

The first precept of a good citizen is to be respectful to the institution of the gov- ernment and to obey the laws which the citizens themselves make. One of the things our forefathers did was to decide that they wanted liberty for this country and to go ahead and work for it even up to the British cannons’ mouths. It is now a very good time for the boys and girls to decide what they want for the Nation and for themselves and to work out what they want to be when they grow up. In this day when every one who has had experience in educational matters is advocating special vocational training, there is an inclination among the young, which is happily fostered by most parents, to have an education or vocational goal in view and to work toward that. No longer are children told to attend only to the matter in hand and let the future take care of itself. After the primary and preparatory grades of school are passed the Our Auto.

Lore wise boy or girl directs his or her thoughts to reading and even recreation, so that they may be of advantage in the future career. Of course, there is no reason to make hard and fast rule too soon for the future, for youth must find out just what it wants by investigation and learning, but even in this “sampling about” they must give serious thought to the future. Many of the schools and school systems recognize for the girls the high calling of wife and mother and home maker and in- clude that in the courses not only in the graded and high schools but in our colleges and universities and the private schools as well. This training can never be wasted and the girl who wants to be a good citizen will be anxious.to be proficient in these arts whether or not she hopes to become a pro- fessional or business woman or a home maker. In fact, it is a rule that while many women are taking their places in the wide world outside of the homes, the vast ma- jority still have home duties and fulfill them as efficiently as they did in the old days when women’s activities ended at her front door. In passing it might be well to mention that the boys’ schools and colleges are recog- nizing the importance of teaching their students the principles and ethics of home building and fatherhood, knowledge which will stand them in as good stead in their busy lives as that taught to women students.

There was much noise and hurrying in the City of New July 4, 1776. Every one seemed happy, but in one of the houses was a very bewildered little girl. ‘‘Jack,’”’ said she to her brother, “‘please tell me what all the excitement is about.” “Surely you know, Peg. “ ’Tis that every one knows what happens today,” said her brother, who then left. “Oh, and is it that I will not find out when { have tried so hard to,’”’ said Peggy to her- self. She decided she could watch the others, even though she didn’t know what it was about, and so she went out on the street. She watched for awhile, but soon she again tried to find out what was happening. 5o timidly going to an American soldier, she asked: “Please, sir, could you tell me what is hap- pening today?”’ “Is it that you pretend to be loyal to the colonies and do not know what we are cele- brating today?” asked the soldier. “Nav.

She was so happy for everything that she sang while she bathed and dressed for church. At last she was ready. Flora ran lightly down the steps, where her friend Violet was waiting patiently. “Oh, Violet, I’m so glad you can go. Did your mother pack you a nice lunch for our picnic?”’ cried Flora. “Yes, I’ve got chocolate cake, peaches, chicken and everything. But come on, we'll be late for church,’’ said Violet. After church the two girls boarded a street car which took them to the country, Flora and Violet got off the street car after a five- mile ride. They then started off in the di- rection of the woods. “Oh, what a beautiful place?’ Flora. ‘“Aren’t these little blue bells and pink moceasin flowers beautiful? I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go home and leave them all here,’’ said Violet. After the girls had looked around for new flowers and birds they became quite hungry, so they started preparations for lunch. Flora spread the covered grass with sandwiches, cake, fruit, olives, pickles, potato salad, cold chicken and tomatoes, while Violet went off with a bucket to hold water for the lemonade. At the spring Violet filled her bucket with the clear, sparkling water. On the way back to Flora she heard a faint sound in the tall grass. The girl stooped over and picked up a beautiful robin, which in some. way had broken its wing. She carried it carefully back to Flora. ‘Flora, Flora, look what I found down by the spring,” called Violet. “Oh, Violet! I have never held a real live robin in my hands before. Please let me hold it. What are you going to do with it? My you're lucky to own such a bird. What will vou take it home in?’’ gushed forth from the bewildered Flora. ‘Tl can’t answer all your questions now, but this much I will tell you.. We'll give this little robin something to eat ‘hen we will tak it home.” exclaimed Violet. | After the giris had eaten they packed up their things and, holding the bird. left for home. A few weeks later the girls went back to the eountry with the bird. Flora and Violet had decided to free the robin when it was able to fly. When schoo! closed Flora and Violet went to the country which they loved so well. There they saw the robin which they had betriended. : The robin wus so glad to see them that it took them’ to see his three little robins in the nest to. show his appreciation toward (hem for helping him when he was hurt. That night when Flora went to bed she said: “I love springtime better than any other season. Tomorrow will be summer- exclaimed am I to find out anything if no one will tell me? Many times have I tried, but each time I have been laughed at for not knowing. It isn’t written in the air, you know,’ Peg answered. “To be sure it isn’t, but I will tell you, little one.’’ So, saying this, the soldier sat down on the grass by the road and drew Peg down beside him. “Well, you know that the colonies have decided to fight for freedom, so that they will not belong to England, but will have their own rights and government, so a paper was signed today and is called the Declaration of Independence.”’ “Oh, thank you,” said Peg, ‘‘and now must I be off to help celebrate. So saying, Peg ran down the street to watch the bonfires and hear the speeches.

ee a LT TRIPLES YEARLY ALLOWANCE "GIVEN KING ALBERT Government Takes Cogni- zance of Self-Imposed Econ- omies of Royal Family. -- RULER TO GET $260,000; REFUSED RAISE ONCE Luxemburg Duchess and Her Prince Consort Live in Genuine Poverty. Special to The Washington Post. Brussels, July 9—When the Belgian cabinet recently decided to place a measure before parliament increasing King Albert’s yearly allowance from 3,500,000 francs ($98,000) to 9,500,000 francs, or $266,000, the government actually was but taking cognizance of the uncomplaining, cheerful willingness with which the entiré royal family has subjected itself to extreme economy during Belgium’s trying postwar years. In 1927 the King of the Belgians was receiving the same allowance which was in vogue when he ascended the throne in 1909—this despite th« terrific fall of the Belgian currency and the equally marked upward trend of the cost of living. To the average person an income of $98,000 would seem quite sufficient even for a person of state. But those who know the wide generosity of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth to the countless needy among their people; who also know the ceaseless demands of all kinds which are incumbent upon the king, even of small Belgium, know that the royal family has passed the last few years with as strict necessity of thrift as many families of the com- mon people, King Uses Motorcycle. For many months King Albert has used a motorcycle on all unofficial oc- casions to save the cost and upkeep of additional luxurious sedans. Queen Elizabeth usually has gone shopping on foot, even visited the poor without the use of a motor car. Instead of dashing sport models, Crown Prince Leopold has obtained most of his rec- reation on a bicycle, with a rare turn on horseback. A large saving has been made by the king returning to the state his summer palace at Ostend for the pur- pose of transforming it into a chil- dren’s home, At the king’s castle of Ciergnay in Luxemburg all expenses have been cut to a minimum, even eliminating the royal hothouses, which for years have beeh one of its attrac- tions. In view of the self-imposed econo- mies on every side which Belgium’s royal family has exercised, it is not difficult to understand that even the socialist members of the government and Parliament are anxious to have the king’s allowance raised to its proper proportions. But it was not until the Belgian franc had been stabilized and the nation’s financial situation im- proved that Albert would consent to this. Luxemburg Rulers in Poverty. An example of much greater hard- ship for royalty may be found in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, on the southeast border of Belgium, where the Grand Duchess Charlotte and her prince consort (brother of the former Empress Zita of Austria) live in genu- ine poverty. The grand duchess had invested her entire fortune in German war loans, even selling several proper- ties of the duke’s family in New York before the United States entered the war, and a8 a result virtually all their resources were wiped out. Almost all their property has been sold and the grand duchess and prince would not even own a motor car if the little state did not pay for it. To add to the houschold’s income, Prince Felix is forced to work as an automobile salesman and to sell wood for a living. German Women Open Bobbed Hair Conflict Berlin, July 9 (By A. P.).—Bobbed hair and short skirts started a violent conflict within the feminine ranks of the Stahlhelm, the German legion of war veterans. The provincial groups of the Koeni- gin Luise Bund, as the woman’s branch of the legion is called, were stirred to indignation by the bobbed hair and short skirts worn by their patriotic sisters in Berlin. A resolution setting forth what they regarded as the error of the Berliners’ ways was promptly Gispatched to Berlin. Members of the Berlin branch, how- ever, turned like the proverbial worm. After stressing their generous hospital- ity to the many thousands of war vet- erans at the recent “Steel Helmet” demonstration in Berlin, they withdrew from the Koenigin Luise Bund and ‘formed an organization of their own under the name of “Luplsenbund.” Abbreviated hair and skirts are not viewed with disfavor in the new “verein.”’ Prisoner Gives Note To His Wife by Kiss Paris, July 9 (By A. P.).—A kiss in the dark got a Frenchman out of prison the other day. The prisoner, Fritz Gabril, had been behind the bars for two years and had geveral more to serve. His wife came to see him. At the leavetaking in the dark corridor Gabril and his wife em- braced with especial warmth, the part- ing kiss being so movie-like in length that the guards noticed it and were moved. Gabril had a slip of paper in his cheek. It passed his wife’s lips during bag embrace, On the paper was writ- en: “Tomorrow, during the recreation hour, I will jump over the wall. Have a vehicle waiting for me on the other side of the moat.” Mrs. Gabril had the vehicle. Her husband got away and hasn’t been heard of since. She was detained by the authorities. Socialists Assail Insignia of Kaiser Berlin, July 9 (By A. P.).—Former William II has again stirred the so- Clalists. They have introduced an in- terpellation in the Prussian diet charg- ing him with “an abusive usurpation of former royal insignia of rank.” The cause of the trouble lies in an |: ordinance by the president of the for- mer royal board of the Prussian ex- ehequer. Claiming to act on. behalf of the former King of Prussia, the pres- ident ordered all head foresters sub- ordinate to him to continue wearing the same uniforms as during the im- perial regime. He especially enjoined them to retain the old royal Prussian eagle on their equipment and the royal coat of arms on their buttons. The socialists point out that the for- mer kaiser, by his abdication, has ceased to be king of Prussia and is now a private person. Among other things they contend the ordinance conflicts with the country and forest policing law of 1926, which‘prescribes the kind ef uniforms to be worn by foresters. et The HUB—Seventh & D Sts. N.
