Her fathér, Robert Candy, 82, of Columbus, Ohio, is dead, and Mrs. Candy, 81, suffered severely from shock asthe result of an accident at the ‘family cottage at Little Point Sabel, near here today. Mrs. Wheeler was working between an oil stove in the kitchen and a large gasoline drum on the back porch when the fumes of the latter became ignited from the stove, causing an explosion which filled the room with flames. With clothing ablaze, Mrs. Wheeler ran screaming into the living room where her father, who recently had suf- fered a heart attack, was reclining. The aged parent arose, gasped, and fell dead from shock, while the screams brought Mr. Wheeler from an upstairs room, and Mrs. Candy from another part of the house. Wheeler Smothers Flames. Wheeler smothered the flames with a blanket and applied baking soda to the burns. A physician residing at the resort ordered her immediate re- moval to the hospital. Mrs. Lillian C.

Water Spurts After Quake in Turkestan London, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—A Reuter’s dispatch from Moscow says that an earthquake has occurred in the region of Fergana, Turkestan. It appears to have reached its maximum intensity at Namangan, where two shocks destroyed several buildings and killed a number of people. Six miles from Namangan the shocks split the ground and water spouted out. Asuncion, Paraguay, Aug. 13 (A-P.). A strong earthquake was felt here this morning, causing much alarm among the populace. There were no casualties. TROOPS IN BATTLES WITH INDIAN TRIBES Bolivian Government Organ Says Uprising Is Due to Communists. La Paz, Bolivia, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Bo- livian troops today were engaged in battles in various sections with Indians forming part of the uprising of some 80,000 Inca Indians in several parts of the country. Meantime reports reach- ing La Paz from the interior of the re- public said that the revolt continued to spread. The first division of the army has been mobilized to stamp out the rebel- lion. Thus far tranquillity prevails in the department of La Paz, where there are about 200,000 Indians, but the gov- ernment is making preparation to avoid a possible crisis. The newspaper El Pais, organ of the government, charges that communists are responsible for the uprising. The paper asserts that the communists have precipitated a racial struggle in order to plant the seeds of anarchy in the country. Reports have been received here that in some instances the Indians have practiced barbaric cruelty in their war- fare. One account has it that they killed and ate a prisoner several days ago. among the natives.

CROP DAMAGE IS HEAVY Topeka, Kans., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—More than a dozen towns were flooded and many miles of lowlands inundated to- day by terrific downpours in central Kansas, usually a sun-baked section, where little rain falls at this time of the year. No lives were lost, but heavy property damage was reported. The flooded area is in a rich farming belt and the high waters took a heavy toll in wheat crops, horses and cat- tle. The Smoky Hill River, ordinarily dry in the summer, went on rampage near Salina, flooding the towns of Ellsworth, Wilson, Black Wolf, Dorance and Mar- quette. Reports from Dubuque said the water reached the second stories of homes and rescuers responded to many calls for help. Heavy rain last night ranged up to 9 inches at Hizer. In the Hoisington section 50,000 acres were under water. Six inches of rain fell there last night, added to a simi- lar downpour the night before. The water reached a depth of 7 feet in Hoisington before it receded. Missouri Pacific tracks on three sides of that town were washed out. Renewed flood warnings were issued to _ residents along the Solomon River, near Min- neapolis, Kans.; and along the Arkan- sas River, below Great Bend. An engine and six cars of a Missouri Pacific freight train went into a creek near Bison, when a bridge there was washed out. The train crew escaped injury. Water ran 4 feet deep through the stréets of Hizer and reached a depth of 2 feet in the telephone exchange at Albert, 20 miles northwest of Great Bend. Russell, Kans., was cast into dark- ness when 3 feet of water invaded the city light plant. House Hit Four Times By Lightning Bolts Brimfield, Mass.

By CARLISLE BARGERON. (Staff Correspondent of The Post.) Rapid City, S..Dak., Aug. 13.—Pos- sibility of a $300,000,000 tax reduction at the next session of Congress looked rhighty slim in the bag of figures which Budget Director Lord submitted to Pres- ident Coolidge today. Expenditures for the current year, exclusive of the Postoffice Department, will total $3,582,000,000, the Budget Di- rector said, and the estimated rer -ipts will run $3,920,000,000, leaving a surplus of $338,000,000. This surplus on its face would seem to permit of a $300,000,000 reduction with $38,000,000 to spare. But there are the problems of flood, farm relief and Boulder Dam to be dealt with. It has been estimated that an appropriation of $10,000,000 will be necessary for flood helief, while an ini- tial expenditure of $125,000,000 is con- templated in the Johnson-Swirg Boul- der Dam bill pending at the last ses- sion, and which it is believed will pass at the next session. Farm Relief Fund Needed, Any method of farm relief involving a revolving fund would necessitate some kind of an appropriation. The money would come back eventually, of course, but it is not certain when it would do so. At any rate flood relief and Boulder Dam will have already eaten into the $338,000,000 estimated surplus, and the $38,000,000 margin between a tax re- duction of $300,000,000 and a surplus of $338,000,000 would be wholly wiped out. The picture painted for next year looks much worse. Estimated receipts for next year were given by the Budget Director as $3,776,- 000,000, and the estimated expenditures $3,561,000,000, leaving .a surplus of $215,000,000. Most certainly a $300,- 000,000 tax reduction could not come out of that, and the figures are based on present ccnditions, and having no regard for what Congress may or may not do at the next session. Other Expenses Seen. The Boulder Dam and flood relief expenditures not to mention farm re- lief would tear a big hole in that $215,- 000,000. The Budget Jirector himself would make no comment on tax reduction in the light of his figures. Of course, one can be legislated, and the budget will have to be shaped in the light of it. In this connection, it was revealed today that the director had had a hard time coming within striking dis- tance of the $3,300,000,000 budget figure set by the President for next year’s estimates. He went over them, in fact, by $16,000,000, but this com- CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COLUMN 2. John Coolidge Denies “Inside Information’”’ Chicago, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Reporters forgot about the pretty daughter of the Governor of Connecticut when they in- terviewed John Coolidge today while he was in Chicago en route to see his father, President Coolidge, at Rapid City, S. Dak. He smiled at the one question they stressed. It sought the youth’s opinion concerning a recent announcement by his father. “Everybody asks me that,” said young Coolidge, “but I don’t know anything the inventors are to receive $1,000,000. about it; not any more than you do.” $1,000,000 Estate Willed To Soldiers Home Veteran Charles Ningesser, Heir to His Brother’s Fortune, Served in Spanish-American War—While Here His Only Income Was $30 a Month Pension.

WAS 37 YEARS IN SERVICE Inspector Charles Augustus Evans, 59 years old, assistant superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Force, died sud- denly at 3:30 o’clock yesterday after- noon in the First Precinct stationhouse. An hour before Inspector Evans had entered the station for one of his ha- bitual visits. Although he complained of feeling ill, he greeted the men on duty cheerfully and went into confer- ence with Capt. Thaddeus Bean, com- mander of the precinct. Capt. Bean informed Inspector Evans that he appeared pale and ill and re- quested permission to summon a physi- cian. Inspector Evans, however, de- clared he was suffering indigestion from something he had eaten, and de- clared he would recover in a short time. He agreed, however, to take a rest, and retired to the lieutenant’s room on the second floor. A few moments later Inspector Ev- ans was seized with a spasm and medi- cal aid was summoned from Emergency Hospital. Dr. Walter Atkinson, of the hospital staff, was first to arrive. Ef- forts to revive the inspector failed and he was pronounced dead. Dr. James J. Kilroy arrived shortly after the hos- pital physician, and the two agreed that heart trouble was the cause of death. Meanwhile the news was being com- municated to all police officials. In- spector Henry G. Pratt, chief of de- tectives, arrived first, closely followed by Maj. Edwin B.

PRECEDENTS CITED AS POLITICIANS STIR Stand Taken by Washington and Jefferson Indorsed in Grant Administration. By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST. Senator Fess, of Ohio, after visiting President Coolidge at Rapid City, is still insistent that the Republican party will draft the President as its candidate next year. Having issued numerous statements to the effect that as the President has been only once elected to his present office no third term issue is involved, and asserting still further that if the people want Coolidge to continue as President they would reelect him, Mr. Fess is running true to form. His prophecies may have no real foundation, but as long as he persists in uttering them he makes the so-called third term issue a question for discussion. Could President Coolidge be reelect- ed in the face of the charge that he. was seeking a third term® Granting that he has made an admirable ex- ecutive and that he possesses in very large degree the confidence and good will of the American people, the an- swer, if the experience of the past means anything, must be that he would be confronted with a situation demanding his most serious considera- tion. No Ban in Constitution. Why should this be? There is nothing in the Constitution to pre- vent a President serving a third term and there is no Igw of the land against it. In fact, when the Consti- tution was. being framed all proposi- tions declaring a President ineligible for reelection were voted down and Hamilton, in the Federalist, argued that continuance in office was not only safe and wise, but might, under certain circumstances, be most desir- able. From his point of view, frequent changes in the Presidency meant na- tional instability, and in this opinion the founders of the Government very generally concurred. It was George Washington, as every- body knows, who set the precedent of declining a third term, but it is worth while to note that nowhere in his let- ter of declination is there any sugges- tion as to the impropriety or danger of his remaining in office. On the con- trary, the farewell address is largely made up of considerations tending to vindicate him from a possible charge of lack of patriotism and public spirit in refusing to further serve his coun- try. He could have had a third term without question, but he declined it, not as a matter of national safety, but mainly because he was getting old and wanted to spend his declining years in rest and retirement.

Man Held in Bombing Of Nonunion Miners Washington, Pa., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— George Burg, who police said was a uion miner, was arrested today in con- nection with the bombing of a board- ing house at.the Tyler mine of the Washington Gas Coal Co. earlier in the day. The mine is operated nonunion. Burg was held in the Washington County jail in default of $10,000 bail, pending arraignment next Wednesday. Six occupants of the house escaped injury when the bomb let go. The house was badly damaged and windows in nearby homes were shattered. TRAIN HITS OIL TRUCK AND 4 DIEIN FLAMES Lima, Ohio, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Con- verted into a flaming torch when. it crashed into an oil truck at a grade crossing, a Baltimore & Ohio combina- tion train was brought to a stop 700 feet farther on by a baggageman with a death toll of three trainmen and the truck driver. All the passengers es- caped. The accident occurred on a crossing near here. Gasoline from the truck was spraje over the train and ignited, Engineer pds. Lindner, Cincinnati; Fireman Anthony Fiorie, Cincinnati; Howard Davis, Dayton, messenger on the train, and L. N. Sneary, Lima, driver of the truck, died in the flames. Five cars, a steel mail car, two wood- en freight cars, combination baggage and smoking car, and a passenger car were destroyed. None of the ten pas- sengers on the train was injured, prob- ably through the quick action of Calvin Hannum, Cincinnati bagaggeman, who crawled to the top of one of the freight cars and set air brakes, stopping the train. $85,000 Gem Theft Committed by Holdups Chicago, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Bouer & Goldstein, jewelers, on the fourteenth floor of the Stevens Building, in the heart of the downtown shopping dis- trict, reported an $85,000 robbery of diamonds, platinum and jewelry this afternoon. The members of the firm and a clerk were held up by four men, they said. After checking their stock, Bouer & Goldstein told the police they had lost $25,000 worth of unset diamonds, $50,000 worth of platinum settings and $10,000 worth of white gold settings.

MEXICAN PRIEST SHOT BY ARMY TRIBUNAL Member of Noted Family Is - Charged With Being “Church Spy.” Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—A dis- patch to the Nogales Herald today from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, says Don Miguel de la Mora, Catholic priest, was arrested, summarily tried before mili- tary court and executed at Colima last Wednesday. The delayed report said the priest, accompanied by his brother, was en route to Guadalajara from Colima when arrested at Cardona, Michoacan, on or- ders of the military at Mexico City. He was charged with being a church spy and seeking to foment trouble. His brother was turned over to ctvil author- ities to stand trial on complicity charges. The dispatch said the execution had tended to engender bitterness in Jalisco over the religious issue. De la Mora was a Mexican citizen, of an old family of dons. The body was turned over to relatives.

LT —N ee *OGET OF OSTAGT FOR. YEAR BELIEVED WOREASED S00 » $40,000,000 Thought to Be AN Figure; Less Than Sought by Commissioners. RAISE ALSO EXPECTED FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS Money for Government Share of Retirement Fund Also Foreseen. From a Staff Correspondent.) Rapid City, S. Dak., Aug. 13.—The District budget as approved by the ’ Budget Bureau will total slightly under $40,000,000, it is understood here. This will be an increase of nearly $2,000,000 over current appropriations, but it will be more than $2,000,000 under the $42,- 000,000 sought by the District Commis- sioners. While no details could be obtained, it is understood more has been rec- ommended for carrying on the five- year school building program than was appropriated at the last session of Con- gress. The figures are considerably less than those recommended by the Budget Bureau last year, and which were cut sharply as the result of the controversy . Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, got into with members of Congress over the number of students he had to provide for for the first time. The budget will carry a recommend- ed appropriation for the government's of the employes’ retirement fund, it was learned, the sum of $19,000,000 being recommended. Now that: the government has begun appropriating for its share of this retirement fund, or, rather, begun recommending . ap- propriations, it is estimated that a sim- *# ilar sum will have to be appropriated yen mse ~ * ey ' * twe Se annually for the next 45 or 50 years. Maintained by Employes. Up to the present time the retire- ment fund has been maintained by the employes alone through percentages taken from their salaries. At the last session of Congress this percentage was increased from 214 to 4 per cent. In the meantime, the Government’s bill has been steadily increasing from _year to year. Up to the present, how- ver, no appropriation has been under- ™ Jaken because actuaries had not been able to determine just what the gov- ernments cost would be. Now that an estimate has been made it is considered unlikely that there will be any serious effort in the next Con- gress to liberalize further the annuities under the terms of the retirement act. 2 Men Seek Divorce, Naming Same Wife Two men, who say they are hus- bands of Mrs. Ruth E. T. White, other- wise known as Mrs. Ruth E. T. Sanders, filed suit yesterday in Equity Court to have thei: marriage ties dissolved. One of them is Joseph M. Sanders, a patient at St. Elizabeths Hospital, who mar- ried December 14, 1926, and the other is Marion E. White, 1432 A street south- east, who married October 15, 1923. Sanders asks that his marriage be an- nulled on the ground that White had not been divorced and White asks an absolute divorce because of the mar- riage of Sanders. Attorney Madison L. Hill appeared for both husbands. Verdict Given Against Arresting Policeman Decatur Trotter, 5720 Grant street northeast, who sued Policeman Clifford Cc. Garry, of the Ninth Precinct, for alleged false arrest, was awarded judg- ment by default yesterday by Chief Justice McCoy in Circuit Court. Trot- ter demanded $10,000 damages, but a jury will be’ impaneled to determine how much he will be awarded. Through Attorney W. S. Porter the plaintiff charged that Garry unlawfully arrested him on January 1 on a charge of disorderly conduct and locked him up at the Ninth Precinct. The records show that Garry was personally served with a supbena, but failed to file a plea.

ILL FROM SHELL SHOCK Thwarted in an effort to commit Suicide by taking gas yesterday after- noon, Sigmund F. Boenstein, mov- ing picture photographer and shell- shocked World War veteran, of 3006 Twenty-fifth street northeast, jumped from a bed on which doctors had been working over him and, grabbing a pis- tol, tried to shoot himself. He was pre- vented in the second attempt on his life by Dr. Roy F. Qsborne, of 706 K street northeast. Persons living in the house smelled gas escaping from under the door of the bathroom on the setond floor about 2:30 in the afternoon. They forced an entrance and found Boenstein on the floor with a gas tube nearby, which had been attached to a light socket. Boenstein was unconscious, and he was carried into his room. Dr. Osborne was summoned and worked over the veteran for about an hour, finally re- viving him, As the shell-shocked and wounded veteran became normal, he jumped from the bed and, running into another room, picked up an army-style revolver, which he pointed at his head. Dr. Osborne, who had followed him, grappled with him and succeeded. in wresting the pistol from his grasp be- fore he could discharge it. Boenstein was said last night to be almost com- pletely recovered from the effects of the gas which he had inhaled. CLUB HEAD DEPLORES STOLEN-CAR MENACE Spectal Legislation to Be Urged in Congress to Protect Purchasers. Asserting that Washington had be- come the dumping ground for automo- biles stolen in this section of the coun- try, Jesse C. Suter, president of the Greater Washington Motor Club, an- nounced yestergay that the club would advocate special legislation for the Dis- trict in Congress this fall that wil make difficult the selling of stolen au- tomobiles. The Police Department is doing every- thing in its power to thwart the stolen- car menace, Mr. Suter stated, but the of statute protection. The motor-vehicle title acts adopted in a number of States have eliminated largely the theft of cars by making their disposal difficult, he stated. He urged prospective pur- chasers of second-hand cars to buy from reputable dealers. The Greater Washington Motor Club has announced its affiliation with the A. L. A. of New England, and with the Florida Motor Club. This completes a chain of affiliations from Maine to Florida. The members of the local club are extended the full membership priv- ileges of the A. L. A. when touring New England. Traffi Policeman Hurt. Policeman Charles Johnson, of the Traffi Bureau, was slightly injured yes- terday afternoon when the motorcy- cle which he was riding was in col- lision with an automobile driven by A. M. Blum, Fendall place and U street southeast, at Fendall place and Good Hope road southeest. Johnson was treated at Casualty Hospital for lacera- tions on his hands and legs.

EVANS, District is handicapped because of lack. INSPECTOR, IS DEAD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. iam S. Shelby and Inspector Ernest Brown. All were stunned by the tragic event and agreed that death had de- prived the police force of one of its most capable and valuable men. Inspector Evans’ record on the police | force was notable. He had been a mem- | ber of the department 87 years. He | rose from a private to supervising in- spector in charge of the entire uni- formed force and all property: of the department. Evans was the only mem- ber in the history of the police force to receive a commendation from a grand jury for the satisfactory manner in which he presented cases. Native of Washington. He was born in Washington, Decem- ber 17, 1867. ‘Shortly afterward his family moved to a settlement near Frederick, Md. They returned to this city when he'\was 10 years old. After receiving his education in local public schools, he returned to Maryland to become a farmer. He was appointed to the police force April 14; 1892, as a patrolman, and af- ter serving as a precinct detective, he was promoted on July 1, 1903, to a de- tective sergeant and assigned to the Detective Bureau as pawnshop inspec- tor. On February 1, 1919, he was pro- moted to lieutenant and assigned as assistant to the late Inspector Harry Gessford, chief of detectives. He was promoted to captain on June 9, 1920, and two months later, August 1, he was made an inspector and assistant super- intendent. On January 1, 1926, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse assigned him to super- vise the entire uniformed force and all property of the department. Two years after he entered the em- ploy of the Police Department, In- spector Evans married Miss Carrie Vir- ginia Smith, of this city. He is sur- vived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Catherine Evelyn Schafer, Mrs. Ruth Evans Dick and Miss Ann M. Evans, and two brothers, Dr. Albert Evans, 4 physician in the United States Veterans’ Bureau, and Edward E. Evans, of Indianhead, Md. Most Valuable Man on Force. “He was the most valuable man on the force and had more information at his finger tips than any other member of the force. There is no one who can fill his place,”” was the tribute of Maj. Hesse. “He was a marvelous official and a great man,” was the tribute of Inspec- tor Pratt, a friend of Inspector Evans for more than twenty years, while In- spector Shelby termed the late official “the most able police official in the country.” The death was not without the touch of fate. Inspector Evans was active in the battle against gambling establish- ments in the city. When he walked into the precinct, yesterday Detectives James Kane and E. A. Mumper, were about to embark on a raid of an alleged gambling establishment, but refrained from telling the official when they learned of his condition. A short time later they returned, the raid a success. While fifteen prisoners, taken in the invasion at, 122G H street northwest, were milling in the offices below, the man, who played a prom- inent part in the organization of the handbook squad of police headquarters, was dying on the floor above. First Commendation in 1902. Inspector Evans’ first commendation came on January 20, 1902, when he.ar- rested three men in an attempt to destroy a house by fire. His lauda- tion from the grand jury came three months later, and his police ability was recognized by private citizens in the form of rewards. and commenda- tion in the years that followed. Principal among the praises heaped py Inspector Evans were: June 27, 1927—Especially commended by the District Commissioners for order maintained during the Lindberg re- ception; May 22, 1926—Highly com- mended by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse for services rendered to the District through indefatigable efforts in pres- entation of evidence causing the in- dictment and conviction of a prize fight promoter, and October 14, 1924— ly commended for the police ar- rangements during the world series | baseball games between Washington and New York.

WEATHER PLEA DENIED BY APPELLATE COURT Testimony Conflicted Whether April 10, 1925, Was “‘Abso- lutely Clear’ or Rainy. The Court..of Appeals yesterday an- nounced its refusal to be troubled over what Kind of weather there was on April 10, 1925, when Walter W. Smith is alleged to have entered a certain near-beer saloon to get a half pint of liquor for a customer. As a result Smith will have to serve the 60-day } sentence imposed by Judge McMahon on July 29, 1925, on a charge of illegal] selling. A petition for a writ of error was denied by the Appellate Court after Assistant District Attorney David A Hart filed his objections. According to counsel for Smith the testimony at the trial showed that the weather was “absolutely clear” on the day, whereas the official weather re- ports showed that it rained steadily from 6 to 10 in the morning and was Cloudy the rest of the day. Smith also tried to prove that he was at Bowie, Md., at the time he was charged with selling the half pint. He also contended that the Government failed to inform him as to the exact time," place and circumstances of the sale so that he could prepare a.defense. The Appellate Court did not explain why it refused to review the case. Bridge Plans Approved. Application made by the Portsmouth, Chuckatuck, and Smithfield Bridge Corporation, of Portsmouth, Va., for ap- proval of revised nlans of a bridge over the.

Early in Notable Battles—Father of Six Sons, Twice Mar- ried Before—Expects to Live Many Years. Cyprianus Fitzwater, 84 years old, of Prince William County, Va., and Mrs. Margaret Wellons, 38 years old, of Bal- timore, were married by the Rev. 8S. J. Goode, of the Christian Church of Rockville, yesterday. The bridegroom. in the December- June wedding is said to be the oldest person to take the marital vows in the Maryland city to which thousands of persons from Washington and the vi- cinity Journey every year with matri- mony as their object. Four years of service in the Confed- erate Army, during which he saw fight- ing in some of the bitterest battles of the War between the States, and two previous marriages were the prepara- tions which Mr. Fitzwater made for his third matrimonial venture. The bride had been married once before. The Confederate veteran resented the suggestion. that he was rather well along in years and that there was a great disparity between his age .and that cf his bride. He insisted that he was in excéller’ physical and mental) condition despite his 84 years and pre- dicted that he ar“. his new wife would live happily for manhy years. Mr. Fitzwater's first wife died, and he divorced the second one ral years ago. He is the father of six the three of whom are living, one being “Prof. Perry B. Fitzwater, dean of the educa- tional department of the Moody Bible School, of Chicago. During the four years of the Civil War, Mr. Fitzwater was a member -of the Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry, which With his regiment he participated in numerous engagements, including the battles of Fishers Hill, Winchester and Gettysburg, and came out unscathed. He is a native of Prince William County, and has lived there virtually all of his life. He formerly conducted a large farm in the county, but re- cently retired. Mr. Fitzwater, in speak- ing of his longevity, attributed it to the vigorous lHfe which he has led, and to his t mperanc in all things. The bride, who is also a native of Virginia, is a widow. She met Mr. Fitz- water several years ago while visiting in her native State. The couple, following the ceremony yesterday afternoon, departed to visit friends in Virginia and West Virginia. Mr. Fitzwater said they had not decided as to where they will establish their home. Mann Act Charge Sent to Grand Jury Frank C. Maier, 1340 Irving street northwest, was held for the grand jury yesterday in Police Court under $1,000 bond on a charge of violating the Mann act. , The complaint against Maier was made by Mrs. Nellie Hiser, mother of 17-year-old Eleanor L. Hiser. Maier is alleged to have transported the girl from ‘this city to Westminster, Md., about a Week ago. Maier pleaded not was commanded by Gen. Jubal Early. gulity and waived a hearing. Attorney B. Russell Kelly appeared for him. TO SEEK LEAVE CHANGES to Special Work, Is Claim. UNIFORM SYSTEM AIM Resumption of a campaign of Fed- eral clerks for a uniform and simpli- fied system governing annual and sick leave was announced yesterday, and official sanction for it will be sought at the hands of some cabinet official, the director of the budget or Congress. The plan, two years old, resulted from many different departmental reg- ulations incroaching’ on the allowed 30 days’ annual leave and 30 days’ sick leave, which, it is alleged, reduce ac- tual leave to an average of a little more than two weeks in many casés. It is claimed that because of special work often appearing at vacation sea- sons few Federal employes in this city get their full 30 days, and that the effort of unofficial investigators in be- half of the movement was practically baffled by the complexity of regula- tions confronting them. Promulgation of a. set of uniform travel regulations lends a more hope- ful outlook for the plan, however; has stimulated renewed interest in it, and an objective fair to both employer and employe will be sought. hs Fire Does $5,000 Damage. Damage estimated at $5,000 was caused by a fire which destroyed a ga- rage in the rear of 323 Cedar avenue northwest yesterday afternoon. The garage was owned by John H. Camp- bell, 215 Maple avenue, Takoma Park, Md. Firemen were unable to determine the cause of the blaze.

Giles Yet to Reach the Coast From Hangar at Detroit. ———_ ee Oakland Airport, Oakland, Calif., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—The approved list of start- ers today reached five in the Dole $35,- 000 aerial derby to the Island of Oahu next Tuesday, while Federal inspectors awaited word of readiness from the re- maining five entrants. Spurred on by the additional time al- lotted them to prepare for the flight through the postponement from Fri- day, the latter five worked hard to make ready for navigation and other tests before their entrance is given the offi- clal stamp of approval by the inspec- tors. Any flier who is not in the approved list before 10 a. m., next Monday, must quit the race in line with the “gen- tlemen’s agreement” among the pilots. Adhering to their rigid policy of qualifying the filers, Department of Commerce inspectors issued an ulti- matum saying that any flier who took the Honolulu hop without Federal ap- proval would be barred forever from flying in the United States or its pos- sessions. Already, misfortune has stroked three out of the race in fatal airplane crashes. Today’s ultifMatum was telegraphed by Clarence Young, director of aero- nautics of the Department of Com- merce, to Lieut. Ben H. Wyatt, in charge of navigation tests. Miss Doran in Race. Miss Mildred Doran, the 22-year-old Michigan school teacher, was definitely assured the distinction of being the only woman in the derby when her monoplane, the Miss Doran, received official permission to start. The quall- fication of J. A. Pedlar, her pilot, and Lieut. V. R. Knope, navigator, removed the last obstacle in the way of the De- troilt entrant.

The airport was rumor-ridden today over the movements of various entrants in the Hawalian flight and the remote possibility that some one of the fliers might take away before the scheduled start next Tuesday noon. The departure for an unannounced destination of Fred Clark, flying the small monoplane, Hollydale, caused excitement when the report was cir- culated he was Honolulu-bound. This was discounted by the field report showing he carried only 150 gallons of gasoline. Clark withdrew from the race sé€veral days ago.

The pilots shook their heads doubt- fully at the weather reports and the group of regular spectators at long distance hop-offs went home and the crowd dispersed. Paul Tarascon, however, continued his test flights, his plane, the Tango Bird, although only partly loaded, get- ting into the air with difficulty. This, however, was possibly due to a sud- den gust of wind. Givon’s Bluebird, the ship which Drouhin originally had planned to pilot, carried a full load for the first time in its test this afternoon and got off the ground unusually fast in fifteen seconds. \ Courtney Off Monday. Southampton, England, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—The decision to hop off Mon- day at 6 a. m. on the first stage of his transatlantic flight, “weather per- mitting,’’ was announced late today by Capt. Frank T. Courtney after receiving weather reports from Washington and London. The Washington bulletin said that midatlantic weather, as far as New- foundland, was considerably improved and that fliers would have an east wind behind them. The British air ministry informed Captain Courtney that from South- ampton to 700 miles west of Valentia, Ireland, stormy conditions will prevail for 24 hours, LINDBERGH IN CHICAGO MORE THAN MAIL MAN Tumultuous Greeting Con- trasts Sharply With Times He Brought Air Mail.

NEW ‘FORM OF OATH |League’s seven members over MAY BE REQUESTED: Redmond’s Reported Alliance With De Valera Arouses National League. (Special Cable Dispatch.) London, Aug. 13.—Britieh officials are watching closely the development of events in Ireland, and opinion in London is that there is little danger of any attempt to upset the treaty, even if the Cosgrave government is de- feated Tuesday government composed of the Labor party and National League, with the support of the Fianna Fail (Republi- can) party, whose members, however, it is announced, will not take office. The utmost that is expected in Lon- don is an effort of the new government to secure some change in the form of oath to save the face of the Fianna | and succeeded by a | ' } } Fail followers of De Valera. This prob- | ably will not be difficult to arrange | if, as it is expected, only a formal change is required. There is no fear | that in any circumstances separatist | agitation will be revived either by the Laborites or National League. Cosgrave Still in Ring. Tom Johnson, party, who is slated for president of the new government, is an English- man and is a strong constitutionalist of the stripe of Ramsay MacDonald in England and Capt. William Red- mond, chief of the National League, like his father, the late John Red- mond, also is an advocate of constitu- tional parliamentary methods. There is no certainty, however, even now, that the government will be defeated Tuesday. President Cosgrave is an ex- tremely clever politician, and reports received here indicate that he still has several tricks up his sleeve if he wishes to continue in office. It is reported that there is much dissension in the ranks of the National Capt. Redmond’s reported alliance with De Valera. This is backed by the rank and file of the national league voters, & large proportion of whom are former soldiers of the British army and who have no use for De Valera’s policy. The rest of the National League is made up of solid business men who have no use for Johnson's labor- socialist policy. Already one of the seven has resigned from the league and it is now reported that the Redmond- ites may abstain from voting on the vote of censure as they did when the government was chosen after the last general election. In this case Presi- dent Cosgrave could count on a ma- jority of four or five in the full Dail Eireann and the De Valeraites would be faced with the position that hav- ing taken the distasteful oath in order to turn Cosgrave out, they had failed to do so. May Invite Defeat. It is possible, however, that Presi- dent Cosgrave may invite defeat to prove the country’s ineptitude to op- position. A few weeks ago he asserted he was tired of the Pontius Pilate at- titude of the opposition and was de- termined to make them take the re- sponsibility. Another report from Dublin is that he may offer Capt. Red- mond a place in the cabinet, thus securing the supy@rt of the seven Na- tional League members. He has got two vacant posts, those of external affairs and justice, either of which is available for such a deal. It has just been revealed that after the murder of Vice President O’Hig- gins, Tom Johnson offered to take of- fice in the Cosgrave cabinet as part of the plan to show the country the united front of all the constitutional- ists. President Cosgrave’s refusal bit- terly offended Mr. Johnson, who. also is violently opposed on the principle that repressive legislation has just been passed through the oireachtas (legisla- ture) by the Cosgrave government. This legislature has extinguished the Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein as political parties and has had the direct effect of bring- ing the Fianna Fail into the Dail in an effort to defeat it and preserve its own existence. Labor Aids de Valera. Dublin, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—The Free State Labor party has decided to give a clear field to Eamon de Valera’s Fianna Fail party in the Dublin bye-elections to fill the vacancies in the Dail Eireann caused by the assassination of Kevin O'Higgins and the death of the Countess Markievicz. Thus, unless the MacSwiney (Sinn Fein) party nominates candidates, there will be straight electoral fights between the government and the Fianna Fail. These will be of the greatest importance politically, considering the evenness of strength of the two parties.

FUGITIVE FOR YEARS, fo GLAD TO GO HOME Bank Cashier Denies That He Embezzled; Admits He made Bad Loans. WIFE Ss “STILL LOYAL; + an ee Cleveland, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Jack M. Patterson, once cashier of a bank at Union, Nebr., and for three years re- ported dead, waited impatiently in a cell at city jail tonight for officers from Union to return him there to face charges of embezzlement. Turned up here by a trick of fate, he was arrested yesterday at a gasoline | | filling station where he was employed under the name of Frank Smith. A tourist from his home town recognized him and informed police. Today he said he was glad the self-imposed exile was at an end; that he would be glad to go back home, although he dreaded the ordeal of returning to the little town of 400 persons, most of whom were his personal acquaintances. Patterson had been cashier of the bank fifteen years, when, in 1924, he made a trip to Chicago with his wife and children. He left Union, he said, when a wave of crop price deflation had imperiled many small banks, and once away from the constant dread that his own bank would be next to fail, he did not have the heart to return. He dis- appeared in Chicago, leaving the im- pression that he had drowned. The charge of embezzlement, he said, is unfounded, but he admitted that he had made many loans that proved bad. Many of the loans were without col- lateral,. he explained. The town was small, and he knew every man that borrowed from him. >A city detective found a woman's overnight bag with clothing and tol- let articles in his room. There were also two telegrams signed “Helen,” saying the sender was on her way to Cleveland. Questioned at the jail, he said the woman was a friend of his roommate and that he was scarcely ac- quainted with her. Omaha, Nebr., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Jack Patterson’s wife and his mother are yet umwilling to believe, in spite of all that has been printed, that the man under arrest at Cleveland is their husband and son, the former Union, Nebr., banker, who was. thought drowned in Lake Michigan, at Chicago, three years ago. There have been so many “sure” re- ports about her husband that Mrs. Patterson is skeptical of them all, the wife said. But if the man in Cleveland proves to be Jack Patterson he will find that his family is still loyal to him. Served as French Spy German, Held, Says Detroit, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—A tale of a native-born German that he served as a French spy during the World War to- day was before authorities here with the arrest of Carl H. Eifles, confessed impersonator of a Settale, Wash., phy- Siclan, and his arraignment ona charge of practicing medicine without a li- cense. Eiffes, who claims he was graduated from a Berlin medical school, told James A. Chenot, chief assistant prose- cuting attorney, that at the outbreak of the World War, he offered his serv- ices to the French secret service, since he was not in sympathy with the Ger- man military system. During the con- flict, he added, he spent some time be- hind the German lines serving as an agitator and on one occasion caused a near mutiny in two regiments by his propaganda, Brings No Discomfort SHADY REST SANATORIUM Silver Spring, Md.

The prisoner’s condition was de- scribed tonight by the prison physi- cian as “normal under the circum- stances,” and not of such a nature as to require forcible. feeding. It was understood that Mrs. who has urged her husband to break his fast, has exacted a promise from him to eat of his own volition rather than submit to forcible feeding if prison officials decide such a course is necessary. Vanzetti, whose sporadic hunger striking ended with the granting of a new. respite last Wednesday, continued on a somewhat restricted diet today and was reported to be in excellent spirits. Counsel for the two men again spent the entire day in drafting the bills of exceptions and arguments to be pre- sented to the Supreme Court on Tues- day.

~ BOOLIOGE RECENES NEW FARM RELIEE PLAN FROM MEYER Loan Board Head Paints: Glowing Picture of 1927 Crop Conditions. U.S. -OWNED WAREHOUSES FOR GRAIN SUGGESTED | Would Provide Fives With Means to Dispose of the Harvest Surplus. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Rapid City, S. Dak., Aug. 13.—A ing yajcture of crop new farm relief plan President Coolidge today urday holiday.” It was Eugene Meye the Federal Farm Loan Board, who apoxe in such enthusiastic terms re- garding crop conditions, and Represen¢ tative Hull, of Illinois, the new farm relief comment from the said he ing his Congress. Mr. Hull would up a system of Government-owned warehouses i! which the surplus crops could be stored and money loaned on them up to.80 per cent of their worth. “Building ‘of elevators by the Govern- ment for the purpose of housing the surplus grain of the country would be a great factor in any relief measure,’ said Mr. Hull. “Providing means for a farmer to deposit in an elevator his surplus of all grains until they can be disposed of through cooperative mar- keting medium would naturally take | the surplus off the market. on his “Sat- r, jr., chairman of plan. He got no idea at the next session ‘ a SEU Plan for Surplus. “Warehouse receipts should be issued by him in the Government elevators and a loan of 80 per cent of the value of the grain on the market day it was stored should be loaned to the farmer through the medium banking system at the rate not to ex- ceed 4 per cent, and farmer until the grain could finally be marketed.” In the meantime, Mr. Meyer declared | he knew nothing in the world about *.the so-called administration farm relief | several days ago | plan which came out from former Gov. Nebraska. This plan is an version of the old Jardine plan. It would set up a revolving fund of $300,- 000,000 to handle surplus crops through the medium of Federal operated porations which ‘vould deal in with marketing associations. When the bill first came the understanding that Senator Capper, of Kansas, tary Jardine, had all gotten together on it. So far Mr. Meyer and Senator | Capper have said they knew nothing about it. The impression is that the bill was put out as a feeler. At any rate the President has not publiciy taken it under his wing, al-| though essentially it is a plan which he made Known a year ago that he favored. The question is whether he is going to stick to that plan or go further in an effort to solve this economic | problem. McKelvie of turn out it was Mr. Crop Outlook Good. “T was glad Northwest from the Twin Pacific Coast,” Mr. Meyer said, “to able to confirm to the President the reports coming in from the North west on this year’s crop outlook were all highly favorable. “There is a large volume of delin- quencies on farm mortgages due to past troubles but 1t is hoped and ex- pected that the present favorable out- lock for good grain crop and fair prices, especially for live stock, will permit many .borrowers to put their loans in good order. “While it is still a little too early to speak with certainty the indications were that taking the country as a whole the farmers should realize on food and feed crops, cotton and live - stock, and other smaller crops, well over $1,000,000,000 more than for the past year. “In some farm lands the commencing districts is to show of dullness and stagnation.” Judge Allows Puppy To Decide Ownership Chicago, Aug. 13 affection for its master was better evi- dence of ownership than any blance to canine parents, Judge Howard M.

Dr. Walter Sil- verman was prepared to prove identity by the mother and two brothers of the puppy. “Never mind,” interjected the court. “Put the puppy on the floor and see where it goes.” Ziegler aynounced he would appeal. Man, Supposed Dead, Sees Right to Sleep . New London, Conn., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Declaring that any man who is sup- posed to be dead is entitled to sleep late the next day resulted in Mayor Albert I. Beach, of Kansas City, Mo., doing just that today at a cottage on Jordan Cove, near here, where the mayor, his wife and two children, Mar- shall and Miss Eleanor, are spending a month’s vacation. A rumor that either the mayor or his son had been drowned reached Kan- sas City in a short space of time, bring- ing many inquirics from that alsy last night and this morning. Freak Boat Skipper Near Death in Water London, Aug. 13 £(A.P.).—Edward Tierney had a narrow escape from drowning today while he was making another desperate attempt to navigate the pedal and windmill propelled boat in which he and Dick Hayman had hoped to cross to America, says a mes- sage to the Sunday Express from Dover. The submarine-shaped boat, which is known as the “Carrie,” became water- logged and overturned. Tierney col- lapsed in the seat and was rescued un- conscious.

Dak., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Not to be outdone by the Sioux chiefs who took President Coolidge into their tribe at Deadwood, the rulers at the Pine Ridge Indian reservation also have decided to take the President into their council. There is a suggestion in the Black Hills that a bit of jealousy has sprung up among groups of the Indian leaders, directed especially toward Chief Chaun- cey Yellow Robe, who with Chief Crazy Horse, manipulated things at Dead- wood.

American diplomatic work in China for | the last two years is a total loss result of the anti-Chinese attitude of | our diplomats in that country, Thomas F. Millard, former adviser to the Chinese government, charged in an address be- fore the Institute of Politics here today. Describing events subsequent to the Nanking incident as a series of de- liberate attempts to work up this anti- Chinese feeling,on the part of certain foreign residerfts there who, for their own private interests, welcomed armed intervention, Mr. Millard asserted that if the situation is salvaged at all it will be done through the work of the American press and foreign correspond- ents and not our diplomats. None of the foreign officials in China surrendered more completely to the panic psychology subtly created by cer- tain selfish private interests there than American consuls and legation mem- bers, Mr. Millard declared. “The American Government is not responsible for opinions and utterances of private citizens,” he said, “but it can select and dispose of its diplomats, ble for the impressions they give foreign lands.” Britain’s Motives Bared.

Sir Arthur ridiculed the fear of con- servatives of a lasting bolshevist in- fluence in the Kuomintang party.

In this connection, however, a fact not generally remembered, is of real inter- est. The letter of declination was ac- tually drafted by Washington at the close of his first term, but was with- held. If Washington had refused to serve a second term, would this action have been accepted as a precedent for all: time and every succeeding Presi- dent been limited to a single term? Jefferson was the first President to zive real force and cffect to the Wash- ington precedent. During his second term Jefferson was addressed by the Legislature of Vermont with the sug- gestion that he again be a candidate for President. It is true that in de- clining he emphasized the physical and mental. infirmities which come with age, and quoted the precedent of “an illustrious predecessor,” but he also for the first time expressed the view which is the basis of the opposition today to a third term. “Believing that a representative gov- ernment fesponsible at short poriods of election,” he wrote to the legisla- ture, “is that which produces the great- est sum of happiness to mankind, I feel it a duty to do no act which shall essentially impair that principle.” In other words, Washington set the ex- ample, but Jefferson furnished the rea- son. It is Washington’s action which is most frequently quoted, but it is the Jefiersonian principle which gives the third-term question real value as an issue. Grant Incident Cited, The opposition to a presidential third term is not a myth. Its substantiality was shown in the test vote in the House of Representatives when the friends of President Grant were seriously propos- sing to nominate him for the third time. William F. Springer, of Illinois, after- ward chairman of the ways and means committee, under Speaker Crisp, offer- ed the followifttg resolution: “Resolved, That in the opinion of this House, the precedent established by Washington and other Presidents of the United States, in retiring from the presidential office after their second } aes has ep: by eespestenarndh eae 2 gehieo wf nit As? oar ne as eat Ot a PRR 4 gillian 4 us > a . 5 os ‘ ~ Poy whe? Suge FE” gt) rence, a part of our Republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-honored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institutions.” When this resolution was voted upon, 252 votes were recorded and only 18 were in opposition, this small minority | being mainly carpet-baggers from the South. Members of both political par- ties united in supporting the declara- tion, just as they would do if the same resolution, intrcduced in the House last session by Representative Beck, of Wis- consin, should be brought to a vote during the coming winter. The action of the House in 1875 was followed by the adoption of antithird-term resolu- tions in the Republican States conven- tions held in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, MinneSota, New York, and Massachu- setts and there is every reason to be- lieve that history would repeat itself. No President can hope to successfully challenge such an expression of antog- onisth. He would be flying in the face of Providence and his party would be inviting disaster at the polls.* 4,600,000 Backed Roosevelt. The would-be third termers have only one fact in political history upon which to base any optimism whatever. “What Washington would not take and Grant could not get, Rooseveit shall not have,” was the slogan used in combatting Roosevelt’s ambition to return to the White House. Notwith- standing this, over 4,000,000 voters whistled the third-term issue down the winds and cast their ballots for him. Where today, however, is there a candi- date who equals the vote-getting quali- ties which Roosevelt possessed? His unique personality is without a coun- terpart anywhere. Calvin Coolidge is not a second Theodore Roosevelt. Any discussion of the third-term question, due to the fact that Senator Fess’ repeated utterances keeps the sub- | ject alive, must be always interesting. President Coolidge knows American po- litical history «> 1 has a profound re- spect for t:> !sssons which it teaches. It remains vo be seen whether he will jeopardize the high regard in which he is held by the Amevican people or sac- rifice himself on the alter of a vain am- bition. Apparently the third-term an- tagdnism is no longer a tradition or a mere fetich, but has possibly become a serious conviction, they | s automo- | STATE DEPARTMENT AUTESTS AGAINST AAREOT IN MEXICO S \ Chicago, Aug.

Arrest Not Questioned. It is conceded here that the Mexican foreign office will be in a position to point out that Calles, under the new constitution, need give no accounting to the law of his own or.to any out- side country, when he decides to arrest and deport a foreigner. On the other hand, officials here can point to the fact that every civilized counsry, excepting Soviet Russia, fol- lows a practice under international law which is contrary to the Calles prac- tice. And, incidentally, the Russian government has been abandoning the practice which the government of Mex- ico now adopts. The various Bolshevik iaeas which Calles has so firmly adopted are, as a matter of fact, regarded by many here as more dangerous in Mexico than in Russia. In the latter country, it is pointed out, circumstances have gradu- ally brought about partial abandon- ment of extreme Bolshevik ideas in cases where it has been clearly shown that they were unworkable. In Mexico, the experience of Russia is lacking and the Bolshevik germs are viewed as more virulent under the Calles brand of Mexican ggvernment than under the more experienced So- viet regime.

BROWN District Ordinance, Giving Ex- | clusive Hotel Concessions, Held Obsolete. The Diamond Taxicab Co. yesterday | assumed the role of aggressor in its | war with the older and established Black & White organization. Two moves were made by the Inde-. pendent Taxicab Owners Association, | which operates the smaller concern. In the first place its management pub- licly announced its indorsement of the Taxicab Drivers Union, broken up by the older company. In the second place, the Diamond Co. cut its flat rate fares to points near the District, to figure substantially be- low those listed by Black & White. “We believe that a union would make for better drivers,” Harry C. Davis, manager of the Diamond Co., said last night. “A number of our men already belong, and we hope they will all join. We have hired those fired from the Black & White Co. for joining as fast as we could take care of them.” w. J. Brown Denies War. William J. Brown, president of the combined Black & White and Yellow Cab companies, yesterday denied that there is any war with the independent drivers. He declared that the present employes of the concern appeared satis- fied, and those discharged were “weeded, out’? because they were ‘“‘disorganizers” and not loyal. Following a drop in flat rates by Black & White early in the week to a scale almost identical with that prev- iously maintained by the Diamond Co., the independent concern yesterday cut their rates even lower. A comparative scale fo rates to nearby towns is as follows: Town Rockville Alexandria Great Falls, Great Falls, Va Laurel Falls Church No Dead Mileage Charge. The Diamond Co. also announced it would make no dead mileage charge for trips three miles outside the Dis- trict, a step already taken by Black & White. H. C. Davis characterized as ‘‘obsolete and discriminating” the District or- dinance which allows one company to maintain a consession in front of a hotel to the exclusion of others, and declared his concern is fighting for repeal of present hack stand regulations. He‘insisted there are only five or six stands at which his drivers are allowed to park unmolested. The Diamond Co. has only been in existence since January 14, 1926, and now controls 151 cabs and some 10 limousines, owned by their drivers, ac- cording to Davis. As the owners of the cabs can not remain 24 hours on duty, extra drivers, organized as a “drivers’ auxiliary” are hired. The men are paid a 40 per cent commission with a 5 per cent bonus, whereas the Black & White commission ranges from 27 to 35 per cent, with “fines” of 5 per cent for a number of offenses, Davis said. Army Team Chosen For Balloon Race Participation by the Army. Air Corps in the Gordon Bennett international balloon race which will start from the Ford Airport near Detroit, Mich., Sep- tember 10, was authorized yesterday by the War Department. By reason of having won third place in the national elimination race at Akron, May 30, Capt. William E. Kep- ner, pilot, and Lieut. William O. Ear- eckson, aid, Scott Field, Ill., will com- pose the team representing the Army. In the Akron race they covered « dis- tamce of 595 miles. In connection with the race it is of interest to recall that the first one starting from Paris in 1906, was won by Lieut. Frank P. Lahm, U. S. A., now a brigadier general and assistant to the chief of Air Corps sta- tioned at the Air Corps Training Cen- ter, San Antonio, Tex.

Many national guard companies, vol- unteer fire departments and business houses will be represented in the pa- rade which will precede the dedication. Roscoe Arbuckle, who will be in Wash- ington for a theatrical engagement, will also attend.

Retrieved from musty files of the De- partment of State, where for decades they have rested, priceless historical data, pages yellowed with age or torn and frayer from much handling, are being restored to posterity. For 22 years William G. Walde, expert Government bookbinder, of 2507 Wis- consin avenue northwest, has worked steadily at the task, and during most of that time William W. Maloney, of Hyattsville, has worked with him. Page by page the skilled crafstmen have pieced together fragments of damaged manuscripts so that historians may unearth for future generations the wealth of historic material they relate. Among them are treaties between the United States and foreign nations, and State papers of untold value. Just now Mr. Walde and his associate are re- storing correspgndence more than a century and a quarter old, bearing | dates ranging from 1791 to 1793. Frequently among these letters Mr. Walde has found the signature of Thomas Jefferson, the bold _ stroke which characterized the handwriting of George Washington, or the careful pen- manship of James Madison. All are originals, and deal with matters bearing on the early history of the United States. No pains have been spared to save them. Though their names appear on the rosters of the Government Printing Office, the two master bookbinders per- form their delicate duties in a little room on the fifth floor of the State, War and Navy Building. Mr. Walde has been employed with the printing office for 43 of- the 44 years he has lived in Washington. He was born in Missouri. AIRPORTS BEING PLANNED BY dO ADDITIONAL CITIES War Department Working on Commercial Flying Safe- guards, MacCracken Says. | MAPS WILL BE TRIPLED: Thirty-eight more cities, making a total of 187, are considering the de- velopment of airports, it was nounced yesterday by William P. Mac- Cracken, jr., Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics. With ap- proximately 864 airports and _ inter- mediate fields already established, Mr. MacCracken believes it will be neces- ane | sary for all cities of any size to devotes part of their funds to airport develop- ment. The following cities are planning air- ports: San Diego, Calif.; Eustis, Fla.; Augusta, Ga.; Moscow, Idaho; Bar Har- bor, Me.; Waterville, Me.; Atlantic, Mass.; Grafton, Mass.; Lawrence, Mass.; Brockton, Mass.; Meridian, Miss.; Jeffer- son City, Mo.; Bozeman, Mont.; Billings, Mont.; Butte, Mont.; Berlin, N. H.; Claremont, N. H.; Nashua, N. H.; West Epping, N. H.; Fremont, Nebr.; Lincoln, Nebr.; Roswell, N. Y.; James- town, N. Y.; Niagara Falls, N. Y-.; Utica, N. Y.; Rocky Mount, N. C.; Findlay, Ohio; Lancaster. Ohio; Brad- ford, Pa.; Lewiston, Pa.; Connelsville, Pa.; Sioux Falls, S. D.; Yankton, S. D.; San Agnele, Tex.; Wheeling, W. Va.; Menasha, Wis., and Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. While the municipalities must pro- vide their own airports, Mr. MacCrack- en announced that the Department is going ahead with plans to provide every safeguard for-commercial flying Production of airway strip maps of topography between cities to enable aviators to check location in flight soon will be tripled. Preliminary maps printed in plain black instead of colors are planned in order to speed up present production. They will sell in advance of colored maps which will be charted afterward with any corrections found necessary in actual flight check. Strip maps of five airways are ex- pected to be issued within the month as a result of the new plan. They are as follows: Chicago, Twin Cities, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City- Wichita (Kansas), Wichita-Kansas City and Cheyenne-Pueblo (Colorado). Kansas City-Moline airway, the first commerce strip map to be published, has already been charted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and printed in colors.

S. and Great Britain to Release Certain Property Seized in War. 300 FILED BY AMERICANS (Associated Press.) Under agreement with the London foreign office, the State Department made public last night the text of a reciprocal understanding negotiated last February, under which the practice of the two governments in releasing certain classes of property seized under war-time trading with the enemy acts is brought into harmony. About 300 American claims against the British administrator of German property, ranging from $1,000 to $25,000, are in- the extent of the British equivalent claims against the alien property custodian not being disclosed. The agreement has been in effect by the respective administrators of alien property in each country since it was negotiated. Four classes of property subject to release under certain condi- tions are involved. The first is the “married women” cases, covering American or British women who lost their citizenship through marriage to an Austrian or German, but later reacquired it through the death of the husband or otherwise. The effect of the reciprocal agreement is to extend up to June 1, 1926, the period within which citizen- ship might be reacquired in the case of American claimants. However, prop- erty already liquidated or credited to @ former enemy power by the British government is excepted from this ex- tension of time. The.second category involves debt Claims by the nationals of each coun- try against German assets held by each government. American cfYeditors have equal footing with British creditors in the case of assets held in Great Britain, British creditors being given similar status in the United States. The third class covers release of stock purchased by German banks and held in ‘each country for the account of Claimants. Difficulty as to identifica- tion of the stock certificates in such eases has arisen. The agreement makes it unnecessary that the claimant shall State the serial numbers of the stock certificates to which he makes claim. The fourth category covers the dif- ference between British and American law in defining enemy corporations fcr purposes of seizure, British practice having been to accept the place of in- corporation as determining nationality while the United States acted on the strength of the nationality of stock ownership. FIRE DESTROYS GRAIN ON MARYLAND FARM 200 Bushels of Wheat Burned; Rockville Firemen Save Dwelling and Barn. Fire destroyed about 200 bushels of wheat on the farm of John Richard Waesche, near Poolesville, Md., early yesterday afternoon, before the effec- tive work of the Rockville Volunteer Fire Department checked the spread of flames, which had been started by sparks from a threshing machine. >The flames ignited a wheat stack, and before the firemen could make the 22 miles from Rockvilee, had spread to two more. With the arrival of the firefighters the flames were held off from the dwelling and barns.

PLANS ARE APPROVED BY ARTS COMMISSION Grant Declines to Wait Until September 15 for Review of Ruling. Friction that has been developing for weeks over the swimming pool to be built in the grounds of the new Mc- Kinley Technical High School at Second and R streets northeast, came to the surface yesterday coincident with news that bids for the work were so high that new proposals would have to be sought. School authorities, the municipal architect and the District Board of Commissioners are lined up against Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant 3d, director of Public Buildings and Public Parks, and the Commission of Fine Arts. The school men charge that Col. Grant has ignored them and has plunged ahead with plans for the pool without cooperation. They say that if he insists on building the pool as at present planned it will “block an ex- pensive and important” staircase en- trance of monumental type to the school grounds from First street and will produce an effect “undesirable from an esthetic point of view” and will “interfere with the best use of a con- siderable portion of the grounds for Authorized by Congress. Col. Grant was authorized by act of Congress at the last session to build the pool and money was appropriated, with the proviso that it be placed on land already public property. By agreement with all concerned it was decided to build it on the grounds of the new McKinley school. The law placed on Col. Grant the burden of obtaining consent of the Commission of Fine Arts. He obtained this approval of his plans but the school officials say that they did not know until recently that it was in- tended to build the structure housing the pool so as to block the staircase. They want it turned around so that the long axis shall become the short axis. A special meeting of the Board of Education was held, with conferences participated in by Col. Grant and A. L. Harris, muncipal architect. The school board wanted time to ask the Commission of Fine Arts to reverse their decision. Col. Grant said he would wait a few days, but would not wait until the next meeting of the commission, September 15. Review of the Case Asked. One of the members of the Board of Education wrote a letter to the com- mission asking that it review the mat- ter, but Charles. Moore, chairman’ of the commission, ruled that it should not be so without, it is said, submit- ting the question by mail to members of the commission. So Col. Grant went ahead to obtain bids. Then the school authorities took it up with the District Commisioners, through Maj. L. E. Atkins, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner and liaison officer between the educational and municipal systems. Friday. the Com- missioners sent the following letter to Col. Grant: “This board is advised that the plans for the swimming pool to be con- structed on the grounds of the new McKinley High School, bids for which were to be opened in your office to- day, are in some measure out of har- mony with the treatment of the school grounds as proposed by the municipal architect and that the Board of Edu- cation is not at this time prepared to express its approval of the proposed arrangement. Ten-Day Delay Sought. “While the desirability of an early decision is appreciated, it is requested that action on the bids be deferred for ten days in order to enable the Board of Education and the District Commis- Ssioners to give further consideration to the plans and in case they determine that a change is advisable from their standpoint, to present their Views to the Commission of Fine Arts with re- quest for reconsideration.” While this letter was in transit the bids were opened and the lowest was found too high to permit of. award of a contract. Yesterday Col. Grant told Maj. Atkins he would wait until the September meeting of the Commission of Fine Arts if the Commissioners, or the Board of Education, or someone, would officially request it in such a way as to remove from him responsi- bility for delay in providing Washing- ton with a new swimming pool. Maj. Askins passed the day in a vain effort to reach Dr. Henry B. Learned, of the school board, in whose hands the matter stands, to ascertain if the Board of Education wants the project delayed until September 15. Maj. Atkins said the pool could not be prepared for use this season in any event and the only advantage of Maj. Grant’s program of haste was to finish incidental pile driv- ing before school opens and children would be using the school grounds. MILL, 117 YEARS OLD, NEARS END OF CAREER Oldest Silk Manufactory in Country Faces Shutdown in Connecticut. Mansfield, Conn., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— The oldest silk manufacturing business in the United States, founded here in 1810 by Rodney Hanks and operated ever since by his descendants, faces a shutdown after 17 years of con‘inu- ous operation. . In an obscure corner of town where | a settlement known as Hanks Hill has grown up about it, the silk mill is now in its third building, near the little frame structure which was its first home and which is still kept in repair by the family. ’ Rodney Hanks handed down the business to his son George Rodney, who passed it on to his sons.

He added that modern experience, recent com- parative study of the Old Testament writings and the study of history all tended to interpret the ancient: exter- nal forms of the church in relation to their meaning for human experi- ence. “They were made for man, not fhan for them,” said Mr. Bartlett. . Watson-for-President Boom Is Launched La Grange, Ind., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—a “Watson for President” movement was launched at the two-day outing of the Republican State committee at Lake Oliver, near here, today when Gov.

It was understood that a resolution was prepared for presentation to. the comittee which would indorse the Wat- son candidacy. The senior Indiana senator, however, frowned on any action by the committee at this time. He said it was too early to take any such ac- tion just now. Consensus among the committee, however, was that Watson would be a candidate. ~Laymen Would Sit In M. E.

The proposal to admit laymen to the conference was defeated prior to the last general conference by a vote of the ministers, although it had been indorsed unanimously by the laymen’s organizations.

Conjecture was rife concerning his will, his .wealth being variously esti- mated at between $15,000,000 and $30,- 000,000. It is understood that Mr. Walker made e will, which now is in possession of E. E. Rudd, his secretary. Copics also have been sent to relatives who are beneficiaries, but the utmost secrecy \.as maintained as to the clauses in the document.

Jones, Recently Granted Extension, Once Failed to Recognize President Harrison at Shaft. Skillfully Handles Crowds of Tourists. The Washington Monument will soon celebrate its 39th birthday anniversary, and when it does, Walter S. Jones, | guard, will..complete his 39th year of | service at: the giant, obelisk. | MrfJones, who-recently was granted | aniextension of’two years, thereby in- | suring, if all things go well, 41 years of serviee for him, will soon arrive at the 76th milestone of “his life. He was born im: Washington, the son of Maj. C. S. Jones, who distinguished himself in the service of the Union in the Civil War. He is a member of Lin- | coln Camp, Sons of Veterans. | In truth, however, it may be said that | life began for him when, in his 37th year, he took the position as guard at the tall, magnificent shaft just then completed in honor of the Father of His Country—a shaft’ that had brought a glory to the Capital, and was destined, more than anything else, to give it an individualism and distinguishing fea- ture. Walter Jones and the Washington Monument, therefore, began their careers together. That Walter Jones has receive& an extension of two years, then, is of much deeper meaning than the mere fact which the word “exten- sion” locally implies. The little, inoffensive fellow with a big voice, and a wonderful faculty for handling crowds, would miss the Wash- ington Monument if he had to bid fare- well to its towering sides. And it is an assured fact that the Washington Mon- ument would miss him, There would be something particularly significant in his leaving, for the two, that began their careers together, would come to a parting of the ways, the man closing his career and the monument continu- ing on. According to T, B. Underhill, custo- dian at the monument, no one could fill his place, and if he continues to be as fit as now, it is assured in advance that his service will be.extended fur- ther. In: fact, Walter Jonés, though his years have touched the,upper seventies, is’ extraordinarily young in fitness for his task. Mr. Underhill avows that many a man one-third as young in years would fag out at his job before the close of day. There are perhaps few institutions in the United States, commercial or otherwise, run on a more efficient basis than the Washington Monument during the busy, summer season. Those in charge have to devise means for saving seconds. If two or three seconds. can be saved in handling each elevator crowd, it really counts up in a whole day. Mr. Underhill’s ambition is to have to turn away just as few people as possible at 4 o’clock, when the monu- ment closes. And, though it may surprise you, the man on whom he depends most to ac- complish his daily aim is Walter Jones. The last group of pilgrims who yesterday ascended the monument, if they weré observant, realized that they were permitted to make the ascent be- cause of the efficiency of the man who took charge of them on the monu- ment floor. This explains why Mr. Underhill says that no one could take his place. When it is considered that on Fri- day Mr. Jones ushered in and out of the monument 84 elevator crowds, be- sides the 752 who walked, ushered two fways a total of 3,701 people in 7% hours, it can be readily understood that his job is, not exactly a sinecure. Yet he did “it with perfect ease, with no strain at all, as simply and nat- urally as Waltcr Johnson warming up for action. Let the average traffic po- liceman try it for a day, however, and he probably. would swear that he had done the hardest day’s work of his life. And he would be right about it, too. Mr. Jones began at the top and worked down. For more than ten years, beginning with the opening of the monument, October 9, 1888, he was guard at the top of the shaft. Then he was brought down to the ground, and until three years ago, was guard on the outside, working at different times all three shifts, covering the 24 hours. Until a few years ago, he worked seven days a week. Now he works during the day and has one. day off a week. He has always been blessed with good health, and ‘still has good health, he says. He has been sick very few times in his career at the monument. During the last 39 years, he has prob- ably come in contact with 5,000,000 people. And at the close of the present year he probably shall have handled in and out of the monument a total of 750,000 persons. Mr. Jones had been working at the monument only a year or so, when on Thanksgiving morning, just as he had arrived for the day, a man, accompanied by two women, came up and engaged him in conversation. They did not ascend the monument, but merely walk- ed around it, and Mr. Jones walked around with them. “Are you a stranger here?’ he asked the man. “Yes,” he replied, “I am in a way. am residing temporarily up on the Avenue.” Then the three left. He afterward was informed that the man was Presi- dent Benjamin Harrison. Later Harri- son again visited the monument, and Mr. Jones apologized for not recogniz- ing him.- In turn, Harrison invited him to visit him at the White House. “But..do you kKnow,’’ Mr. Jones said, “like a dunce I did not go?”’ He became acquainted with two other Presidents who made it a habit to walk by the monument, McKinley and Roose- velt. Roosevelt, in particular, liked to visit the monument, and on many oc- casions came there at night, when he and Mr. Jones would stroll about be- neath the silhouetted form of the shaft. IDENTITY OF AMNESIA VICTIM IS QUESTIONED Conflicting Opinions Arise Concerning Lieut. Comdr. Carter, Retired. New York, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Conflict- ing opinions tonight added to the mys- tery of an amnesia victim taken to the Brooklyn Naval Hospital as possibly Lieut. Comdr. Fidelio S.,Carter, retired, for whom a nation-wide search has been going on for months. , Commander Carter; 74 years old, dis- ‘appeared February 7. An aged man bearing a slight resemblance to him was found’ a few days ago wandering in Grand Central Station. The conflict of opinion arose when acquaintances identified him as Carter, greatly chang- ed by privations. A friend and a detective today ques- tioned the identification. © Detective Gisselbright, of the bureau of missing persons, declared he was certain the old man was not Carter. Harry A. Mon- for Carter for 20 years, said the thin old man at the hospital was not the naval officer. Previously Maj. Edward J. Hynes, Fahey, doorman, had been just as posi- tive in identifying him. Replies. to questions indicating a lingering fami- liarity with Carter’s past life had strengthened this belief. The absence of a finger on which Carter had: worn a valuable ring, con- trbiutes to the mystery. Carter was unmarried and his only known rela- tive, Mrs. Dora Hogan, a sister, lives in Danville, Ill. | a sus as San oe 96 S cee. * Bont Service is ust for an ad- ; .

Thorpe is a cult pillar and former secretary of the colony. The admission by Purnell that there is a break between him and his wife climaxed weeks of effort on the part of the State to show there was dissen- sion and opposition to Benjamin’s leadership. Purnell, on the witness stand for the second time, was brought from the col- ony in an automobile. He reclined list- lessly on a cot as he testified. In a voice scarcely above a whisper he asserted he meant Mary when he wrote in notes held by the State of a person of “great wickedness.” He declared he had to’ show her “‘where to head in.” A moment later Purnell st: ted that he went into hiding in the. Diamond House in January, 1923, because he did not wish to be served with capiases issued in connection with charges of two sisters that he mistreat- ed them. , “There was no truth in their charges, was there?” George E. Nichols, State’s attorney, asked. “Why, no,” Purnell replied. “Why, then, did you fear to face Association. Seattle, Wash., .Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Avoiding action on proposals to indorse Western reclamation projects, the an- nual convention of the National Asso- ciation of Real Estate Boards closed today, with Harry G. Zander, Chicago, approved as their new president. Walter Parker, New Orleans, vice president of the national flood preven- tion and river regulation commission, today attacked the levee plan for con- trol of the Mississippi flood menace. A resolution calling upon Congress to provide for relief and a “permanent and adequate solution of the Mississ- ippi Valley flood problem” was the only resolution of major importance passed by the convention. The prize cup for the best home- town spellbinder was awarded today to I. N, Gilbert, Mayor of San Bernardino, Calif. Harry 8. Gilbert, Baltimore, Md., was second. Joseph K. Brittain, Chicago, was elected secretary-treasur- er, and Paul S. Stark, Madison, Wis., first vice president. Other vice presi- dents include J..Wilson Dayton, Baside, Long Island; H. W. Newcomb, Denver; F. H. Purington, Boston, and .Joseph R. Ashmore, East Orange, N. J. a the charges?” “It would have worked against the colony,” the witness returned. Queen Mary Angered. Purnell, who seemed more active and in better spirits than when he first ap- peared yestreday, was on the witness stand less: than an hour. His nurse and W. J. Barnard, defense counsel, then pleaded he was exhausted and he was trundled back to the waiting am- bulance and returned to the colony. He may resume the stand Monday morning for the completion of his cross-examination, While Benjamin testified Mary sat in the court room, apparently angry. She left upon the conclusion of his tes- timony. When Mary was on the stand this week she insisted that scrawled notes in Purnell’s handwriting, seized in a raid last fall when Benjamin was ar- rested, were simply details of gossip Benjamin had heard. He wrote down the tales told him by Ada Ross and Edith Meldrum, two of his lieutenants, so he could give her an accurate re- port of their words, she said. She charged the women with “attempting jamin.” The notes called Mary a deceitful reprobate.” Ross and Edith asked. Meldrum?” Denies Group Marriages. “Why, no,” the King replied. “They were my Own words.”’ “Then there was trouble between you and Mary?” “Yes, some office trouble,” replied. “When you wrote ‘I can not write of her infernal wickedness,’ who were you referring to?” “I suppose Mary Purnell,” the witness whispered. Benjamin again denied the charges preferred against him and said there was nothing in his teachings instruct- ing members to tell untruths to pro- tect him. He denied being connected with group marriages which the State alleges were arranged to protect him. “Mary looked after the arrange- ‘ments,” he said. He admitted taking a trip to Canada when trouble threatend in 1914, but Said he went to inspect a farm. Several character witnesses were called after Purnell left the stand. They were former Benton Harbor officials and business men who declared the intelligence of the cult members is €qual to or above the average, that the colony has never been considered a nuisance and that they had never heard of immorality or drinking among the members or officials. Fraud Charges Filed In Kentucky Primary Harlan; Ky., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Charges of wholesale fraud in the Republican primary in the Twenty-sixth judicial district embracing two large eastern Kentucky counties, were made in a suit filed here today by I. G. Leabow, of Middlesboro, a defeated candidate. The suit was directed against Judge J. G. Forester, who was nominated for reelection by a plurality of 183 votes over D. C. Jones, Harlan. Leabow was credited with 205 votes. The petition alleged bribery, use of whisky, stuffing of ballot boxes and expenditure of $15,000 by Judge Fores- ter and $50,000 by Jones. Taylor Forester, a challenger for his father, fatally shot Constable Jess Huffman, a Jones challenger, on prim- ary day. Radio Station Bars _ Program by Insane Special to The Washington Post. New York, Aug. 13.—Charles D. Isaacson, who had arranged to broad- cast a radio program by patients at the State Insane Asylum Monday night, an- nounced today that the board of di- rectors of station WGL of the Interna- tional Broadcasting Corporation had ordered the performance canceled. Isaacson declared the plan to broad- cast~the unusual program “was born of the deepest sympathy for the pa- tients themselves.

Modern HeroesChosen ‘By Mountain Students Berea, Ky., Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Kentucky mountain boys and girls get more in- spiration from the lives of Thomas A.

Fred “Butch” Thomasson and Joe Booker, alleged Birger gangsters, are be- ing held.on+murder charges for the death of Lyle “Skag’” Worsham. Charles Birger, southern Illinois gang chief, who is under sentence to be hanged for the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City, Ill., and several of his henchmen, some serving prison sen- tences and some now dead, were im- plicated by the sheriff’s story of the killing. Youth Protested Innocence. Harvey Dungy, Birgerite in prison for robbery, was charged with the pair held. Worsham is alleged to have been picked up at Zeigler, Ill., the night_of last September 17 by members.of the Birger band and taken before Birger, where Dungy charged the youth with talking too much to, Carl Shelton, leader of a rival gang. Protesting his innocence, the youth was taken in a motor car occupied also by Dungy, Thomasson and Booker.

Chiang Kai-Shek tomorrow will issue a mani- festo announcing his resignation as generalissimo of the Nanking army, and appointing Gen. Li Lieh-Chun, former governor of Canton, as his successor. Observers say that if Gen. Chiang Kai-shek does resign it will be due partly to the military disasters which his army has suffered recently, but that the immediate cause is said to be the disloyalty of his generals, and a long telegram from Gen. Tang Seng-Chi, of Hankow, denouncing him. Gen. Tang Seng-Chi, in his message, declared that General Chiang Kai-Shek is “the prin- | cipal protagonist of the communist re- gime and the chief cause of the inter- necine warfare which is ruining the country.” London, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—The ap- pointment of Ku Ming Yu to succeed Eugene Chen as foreign minister of the Hankow nationalist government, has been canceled, say advices received to- _ These advices indicated that the en- tire foreign binge reg of prot! had ¥ eles Py Ppa 2 aati y PP UPt ty eke " o : ha. -9 * ese te ERROR. . uy bs G 4 Wednesday night day in British government quarters | from China. : | ” . a me ee AL G STREET AT ELEVENTH——TELEPHONE MAIN 8780-——-KRESGE DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.

THE WASHINGTON. POST: SUNDAY. AUGUST 14, 1927. ~ Ain ll tn tl tt tc ttn itt hay ——. pond: » be justified. tT 4 Boe Ft . *hrae Pir sss . cer x nee bk ten CRYO TF ye -- Federal Legislation to Ban Marital Alliance by Persons of Immature Years. Persons seeking divorce should be forced to make a retrial of marriage be- fore being granted a decree, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, social leader, de- clares in an article in the September fesue of The Red Book Magazine, in which she deplores the laxness of mar- riage laws and the rapidly mounting divorce rate. Federal legislation which would re- strain people of immature years from marrying, and which would insure 4 fair trial for marriage before a divorce could be obtained, are advocated in the article. Mrs. Harriman, pointing out that the largest number of divorces are sought by couples who have been mar- ried three years, says that if people will try to remain united over a period of five years their chances of not being divorced will be greatly enhanced. “Never in the history of the world has there been such an enormous num- ber of divorces in ratio to the popula- tion as there is at present,” writes Mrs. Harriman. “And year by year, within the past decade, there has been an in- crease out of all proportion to that of marriages. Figures themselves are dull treading, but they are significant. They tell the story of divorce as I could not.” In 1880 there were recorded in the United States only 19,143 divorces. In 1888, the year when I was a debutante, there were 504,540 marriages and 28,669 divorces. In 1925, according to the latest report issued by the Department of Commerce, there were 1,181,838 mar- tiages and 175,495 divorces. You say this may be accounted for by the in- crease in population and in marriages. But, in fact, it is out of all proportion. “One may gauge this by the number of marriages and divorces in relation to the population. In 1880 the number of divorces per 1,000 population was 88-100 per cent. In 1925 the number f divorces had risen, per 1,000 popu- ation, to 1:52 per cent. “From 1870 until 1906 there may be gaid to have been a 36-year period of consistent conservatism. With only 11,- 207 divorces in 1870, the number rose to 72,062 in 1906. This was an increase from 0.23 per cent per 1,000 population to 0.84. In ten years, from 1906 to 1916, the percentage of divorces rose from 0.84 to 1.13 per cent. The increase in divorces began with the year 1916, mounting as it has up to the year 1925. “Mainly there seem to be four gen- eral causes for this undeniably increas- ing impermanence of the marriage “First—The unrestricted ease with which divorces may be obtained on the flimsiest and most shallow pretexts. A lack of uniformity in State divorce laws and the possibility of securing di- vorce on merély nominal grounds in various States and foreign countries, A total lack of uniform legislation which would make divorce difficult except on strictly valid grounds and only after several retrials had proven living to- gether impossible. “Second—The breaking down of old standards which imposed upon people a deeper sense of obligation to their plighted contract, with a passing of the old inhibitions against divorce and the social odium attached to it. “Thrid—A too great heedlessness and indiscrimination in rushing into wed- lock after too brief acquaintanceship. A mere following Of headstrong im- pulses based upon transient physical attraction, with too little sense of the sacredness of the marriage relation. “Fourth—The pace of modern life, @ pursuit of pleasure instead of a sense of individual obligation; a greater selfishness on the part of both, a lack of mutual consideration and team-work, and a waning of the home- Duilding instinct. “where a man or woman seeks only individual happiness, where there is no more tangible foundation than mere physical attraction, and where each considers his or her freedom and self-expression paramount, divorce seems an inevitable end of marriage. And the most serious phase of divorce swings upon the scales as to whether there are children or not. The right and wrong of it often divides upon that line. Divorce may be justified where two people have only one another to consider, but it is different when obligations of parenthood enter. And when there are children, what seems causes for estrangement or. grounds for separation often vanish in Cco- operation in larger duties and the dawning of a deeper human affection. “Many people are happy, not be- cause they are married, but because they are happy parents. Of the great number of divorces less than half may Many would be better ‘off if they tried to ‘stick it out.’ “In 1924 the Department of Com- merce madé a compilation of statis- tics showing the relative mumber of divorces according to the duration of marriage. If any further proof were needed, these figures show the greater number of divorces are secured in the early years of marriage and steadily de- crease as people live longer together. In that year there were 160,171 divorces in which the duration of marriage was reported. The greatest number, 14,993, was on the part of couples who had been married three years. The lowest number, 2,115, was on the part of couples who had been married 20 years. After a five-year duration of marriage, the number of divorces be- gan significantly to dwindle. Which proves, indisputably, that if people will try to stick it out for five. years, instead of giving up after two or three, there is less danger of joining the stampede over the cliff. “In several States there is no defined age at which young people may mamy without the consent of their parents.” In at least three States the age is fixed by law at 14 for boys and 12 for girls; in one at 13 for girls and 14 for boys, while some permit girls of 16 to marry without their parents’ consent. One. State permits a boy of 16, and others a boy of 18, to marry without consent. riages, with 1,327 499 divorces of 15-year-old brides, 1,268 of 16, and 2,792 of 17 years. from 17 to 19 there were 266,770 mar- | divorces the same year. Many more girls of immature age | were married the year these statistics | were gathered—12,384 at 15, 41,626 at 16, and 90,930 at 17. Among these were | '“The less one believes in divorce, the | less must one believe in easy and pre- | mature marriages. Except in cases of emergency or of exceptionally developed and endowed young people, should not marriage be universally prohibited be- fore a certain age? “Were people prevented from marry- ing until they had reached a mature age of discretion, and only after they had learned to know each other well. | the chances of the marriage ending in divorce would be cut to a minimum. And were they, after marriage, required by law to prove they had lived together, and given marriage a fair trial through a given number of years—except in cases where there are valid reasons for early separation, such as inveterate drunkenness or the commission ol! vorce court out of pique, revenge or on trivial pretexts. And if, where the grounds were not grave or the offense flagrant, couples were obliged to make “some sort of retrial at living together before a trial decree could be secured. many, temporary differences might be patched up and an irreconcilable sepa- ration prevented. “Of 10,000 divorce cases which have come before a New York judge, only 2,000 applications were made by couples In many States no penalty is prescribed who had children.” AMONG MUSICIANS| By ELISABETH ELLICOTT POE. WO distinct losses have been un- dergone by the American musical world this month in the death of Harold Randolph, director of the Peabody Conservatory of Music of Bal- timore, and Frederick T. Steinway, of New York. Director Randolph was well known to Washington music lovers, and many notable musicians of this city had been trained under his direction in the great Maryland institution of which he was the head. Mr. Randolph was a member of a Virginia family, and had gained emi- nence as a pianist and organist prior to his decision to devote himself to the profession of an educator. In Steinway the musical world lost @ lifetime friend. Grandson of the founder of the house of tSeinway, Frederick Steinway had made his home a rallying point for the world’s fore- most musicians and supporters of mu- sic. He was a generous patron, and in intimate contact with the music arts. Under his regime the new Steinway Hall, in New York, the music center of that city, was erected. Next week the choirs and organists of Washington will return to their places in choir loft and chancel after summer vacation. They will be welcomed home, and it is said that elaborate programs are in contemplation by them for the Thanksgiving and Christmas festivals. Luella Melius, coloratura, who sang with the Washington National Opera here last season, has sailed for Europe, where she will fill engagements in cities where she won triumphs before her recent return to her own country. Mme. Melius is to sing the leading the greatest of contraltos. Her father was a Bohemian and a poorly paid officer in the army, and her mother was an Italian. The child was Ernest- ine Schumann-Heink. Little Ernestine was placed in the Ursuline Convent at Prague when she was 12, and it was there that a nun discovered her remarkable voice. She was designated to sing in the Cathe- dral, where Mme. Le Claire, French prima donna, heard her, and begged to give her lessons. So her family moved to Gratz, where Mme. Le Claire lived, and Excellence Benedek, a well- to-do army officer, provided funds for her lessons for several years. Then he sent her to the director of the Hof Opera in Vienna. The director looked at her and said “With such a face and no personality she could never hope to be a singer. She might better go home and run a sewing machine.” Undaunted, she made a successful con- cert debut in Gratz and went to Dres- den to study under Franz M. Wuellner. It was not long before she made her operatic debut as Azucena in “Il Tro- vatore” at the Dresden Opera. She re- mained with this royal opera company for four years, being married in the third, and then progressed to Hamburg. Her husband died there, leaving her tiny five children and pitifully small During an engagement in Berlin an interest in her and begged her to come to America, but she was first to have the great honor of singing in the Wagnerian shrine at Bayreuth. For two years Maurice Grau, impresario of the Metropolitan Opera in New York tried to secure her for America, but another contract with the Hamburg Opera prevented her coming here until 1899. The American public took Schu- mann-Heink, singer, mother, Straight to its heart.

She will appear in concert also before the Saturday Evening Concert Club, the members of which will enjoy five concerts by leading artists. The club is under the auspices of the Washington National Opera. Miss Martha Adams is secretary of the club, the headquar- ters of which are at 1814 G@ street northwest. Many men and women prominent in the social, political, ar- tistic, business and civic life of the National Capital are members of the club. Membership in the club is open to music lovers generaliy, although there will be no general public sale cf tickets at the time of the concerts. Mme. Schumann-Heink will be heard here in a farewell concert on October 31 in Washington Auditorium. Mme. Schumann-Heink is now on her fiftieth anniversary tour. The life story of Mme.

NVADING new fields, J. Lester Sash- ] weight, weekly commentator upon current topics, turned today to a phase of the agricultural situation. He announced that he would discuss the production and prices of white potatoes ‘and California grapes. At first this subject did not appeal to the inter- _viewer, but in a moment. Mr, Sash- weight convinced him that here was food for reflection. “Did you see in the papers,” began Sashweight, sitting on the veranda of his Mount Pleasant home, “that the bottom hes fallen out of the potato “market? And to what is it attributed? The dieting of fa* women, who are cut- -*ting down on their starchy food. Here “we have a strange link between potato prices and the rivalry among modern “women who are determined to grow thin and sylphlike. “Take Mrs. Sashweight. She is just of. the plumpness that appeals to a man of my loving disposition. Yet she is dieting, reducing, weighing every day eon the “enny-in-the-slot scales—and will not allow a potato in the house. -I have tried to bootleg in a few pota- “toes, but she dumps them in the gar- . bage on the theory that she might be _ tempted to eat if she cooked them. “Meanwhile the children, and myself wing thinner and we don’t see. that she ’3 losing any weight.’ a 6 2 e At this point Sashweight followed his habit of pausing for reflection and ~ reminiscence. “When 1 was co along as a . ming =boy,” continued Sashweight, “dieting -unknown.

The cry used to be “I don't want to grow. old.” Now it is “heaven preserve me from growing stout.” We'll soon be a nation of gangling, attenuated, dyspeptic looking men and women and the circus will be exhibiting as a freak somebody who has reached the good old weight of 175.” * * * * As Sashweight stroked his forehead in desperation he was reminded: “You were going to refer also to the crop of California grapes.” “Yes,” said Sashweight. “Il suppose you noticed an announcement from the Department of Agriculture that “recent seasonal shipments of fresh grapes have amounted to 75,000 or 80,000 cars” and that in addition many thousand tons must be disposed of locally by drying or other manufactur- ing processes. “I remember that when prohibition was being debated in Congress there were loud outcries that such drastic legislation would destroy the great grape industry in California and else- where and grapegrowers might go into bankruptcy or even commit suicide. Now there are more vineyards than ever and the railroads have difficulty in supplying the cars necessary to get the grapes to market. “I am a grape-eating fiend, but you can’t convince me that all these tons of grapes get on the breakfast tables throughout the land. The grape lacks the slogan of Apple Week—an apple a day will keep the doctor away. There’s some other reason for this enormous consumption of the grape power of the country.” “And what is your solution of the riddle?” Sashweight was asked. _ He*looked around the neighborhood, leaned over and in a_ half-whispe said: “I am confident that some of these men and women who are dieting on the solid foods are not so cular It is my suspicion that there is home brewing and other ‘manufacturing processes’ going on somewhere.

In spite of his name, Mr. Diaz does not destroy the “all-American” claim for the singing contingent of the com- pany. He was born in San Antonio, Tex., of Spanish parents. Mr. Diaz and other members of the travelin~ company will be released tem- porarily now and then to return to New York for their special appearances with the Metropolitan. “The King’s Hench- man” will carry a double cast for the entire list of principal roles, and in certain instances will carry--three alter- nates for a part.

I knew it!” cried Helen. “I knew in’ my heart she would murder him some day.” “Helen,” said Menelaos, “you and I have had difficult moments, and I’ve said hard things about you to your face, but I don’t believe a sister of yours would do that. I can’t believe it of a woman so near to us, of your blood. This murder is just the sneak- ing kind of thing a coward like Aegis- thus would plan. Moreover, if she had done it the people would have killed er in revenge before this. My brother was never what you could call popular, but his men were devoted to him.” “There’s another thing, too,” said Hermione. “Clytemnestra knows there will be some sort of revenge for this murder. Orestes will exact a terrible penalty from Aegisthus, but if Clytem- nestra were implicated he would have to punish her too—all the murderers, in fact. She understands where such a deed would end.” “Orestes wouldn’t kill his mother,” said Menelaos; otherwise I agree with your argument. I think Helen is un- just to her sister. * * * Eteoneus, did the messenger give you any further details?” “These are the details,” said Eteoneus. “The messenger says Agamemnon went into the house, as the trader reported, and after a while the people went away, not seeing more entertainment in prospect.

If you only wait, you'll see.” “She won’t see anything of the kind!” said Menelaos. “The relations are distinct. If I thought they weren't, I’d let Orestes handle the whole thing himself.

The 49 girls and boys enrolled in the | day and night health camp conducted | by the Washington Tuberculosis Asso- | ciation on the hilltop back of the Tuberculosis Hospital have completed the summer health course by gaining an average of a pound each in weight. The children had all been assigned to the special health schools after examination had shown them to be delicate or underweight. One of the boys in the class holds the record for gain in weight, having gained 9% pounds in the six weeks he has been at the camp. The camp is conducted with a portion of the funds raised from the sale of Christmas seals. Mrs. Margaret Hilleary is in charge, assisted by Miss Isabelle Keegan, Lester L.

First, think for whom you are going to; make these boxes. If you have ever spent much time in a hospital you wif know just the right things to put in, these boxes. Perhaps when you were there mother spent a lot of time wifh you and friends came to visit and bring flowers, which helped wonder- fully to pass the time away. But think what it would mean if mother was working or too busy with other chil- drin to be able to see you often and you saw no one but nurses and other sick children all day long. Then think how delighted you would be if nurse gaye you a “surprise box” or a pass tithe box and told you that a little child had made it for you to entertain. youself with during your stay at the habpital. Get an interesting looking box, the 5] which you think will meet your vn and put anything of an en- testaining nature in it. First, you shbuld decide upon the age of the child you wish to amuse and put this information on the back of the box. Lapk over your supply of old toys and see if there is something you might fréshen up to go into this box. Whatever you can give will be new to other chidren. A small doll with a change of clothing is good for either a small boy or girl. Get some one to shpw you, or find out from some book atethe library, how to cut out a set of ddjl furniture. This will be interesting | for you to do, and think how pleased | a jittle girl would be to foid this doll furniture into shape and set a room| to*rights on the bed cover. Make a set | of, paper dolls with change of dresses, THe best dresses are the kfnd which double and slip om over the head. Make them of plain paper and color thém with your paints or crayons. On stationary cards one can draw eaSy outline pictures and make -sew- ing cards by punching a hole. every half inch or so, around the outlines. Wrap a little colored yarn or embroi- defy cotton with a large-eyed needle pinned through a slip of paper folded around the yarn. A small box with a rubber band around it may contain some beads and a threaded needle. | LEADER OF GROUP | be Harris & Lwing. SMITH MRS.

It can be played with any kind of cards that can be*“mated. If the cards have letters or numbers on them there must be two or four of each letter or number. If play- ing.cards are used any two queens or two Jacks or any two numbers may be mated. To play this game shuffle and turn all the cards face down on the table at one time. Beginning with the person who shuf- fles you take turns being first. Each one turns up two cards, and if they match he Keeps them, if not, he turns them over in the same place, being careful not to get any cards out of position. The idea is to remember the position of each card. Never turn a card that you know first, but turn a doubtful card, and perhaps it will match with one you do. know. When turning a card do not take it up and+look at it, but turn it flat on its back, then lift your hands so all can see it before you turn it face down again. This game is well named for it de- velops the powers of concentration. You will be surprised after a few games have been played how quickly you can note the position of a card and remem- ber where it is until it is needed. Scrap Books Made. Mrs. Finis D. Morris, president of the Keene P.-T. A., assisted by a number of the women of that association, have .made 28 scrap books and given them to the children of the neighborhood. The books are to be finished by the first parent-teacher meeting in Oc- tober, when two prizes will be given for the best books, one for the older children and the other for the younger ones, The subjects were selected by the children themselves and they are all taking a wonderful interest in cutting pictures and little stories from old magazines and papers, then pasting them in their books to make them at- tractive. _ The children have asked that the books be sent to Walter Reed Hospital so the soldiers can see them. The subjects taken were: “Out-Door Sports,” “Horses and Their Uses,” “Dog Life,” “From Kittens to Cats,” “My Ideal Home,” “Washing- ton City,” “Birds and Butterflies,” “The Ages,” “Good Things to Eat for Health,” “Arts and Crafts,” “History,” “Boats of the World,” “An Automobile Trip Through the Country,” “Flowers and What They Say,” “Fruits” (2), “Inter- esting Subjects for a Scrap Book,” “Animal Life,” “Camp Life and Fish- ing,” “Mother Goose Rhymes,” “New York,” “Noted People,” “Fashions To- day and Yesterday,” “Vegetables,” “A Girl’s Life,” “Advertisements,” “Fruits and Trees” (2), “Animals and Their Habits” (2). Mrs. Jones was pleased to receive the above news of summer activities being carried out in the vicinity of Keene School. She hopes that many, other groups in the city are engaged in summer activities and that she will receive news of what these groups are doing. She can be reached at 2844 Wisconsin avenue northwest, Cleveland Garden Is Praised. “Those in our community qualified to admire a>good garden will find a feast for their eyes on the John Bur- roughs School grounds, to the east of the new addition to school building.

No. local parent-teacher association has been found willing to assume the responsibility of the juvenile court work for the month of August. Many of the members are away on vacation trips and many others who would be glad to help with this work are unable to do so during this month because their own small children, being out of school, can not be left alone for entire The work will not be left undone, however, for it is being taken. care of by the State chairman. Mrs. Byler was alone in the rooms ~ ' j | | I just mention, as an example, Associations which are appearing in | this column weekly during the summer are valuable and should be cut out and pasted in the June issue of the Parent- Teacher magazine and kept on file for future reference. More Playgrounds.

It has become evident that the mothers of the District intend to have playgrounds for their children. May the first cooperative playground we have, which opened a short while ago at Thirty-fifth and S streets? This hap- pens to be in :ny square and was de- signed chiefly to meet the needs of the small children with the hope that the school playground near by would be opened for the summer for older chil- dren and rougher play. chairman sees it, is that mothers do not intend their children shall be de- nied the most important thing in child- hood—the privilege to play. Mothers have thrown down gantlet to those whose privilege it is and whose pleasure it should be, to Nation’s Capital, and it is to be hoped they will soon be given clear vision, that we may not need to hang our heads in shame when we discuss play- grounds with people from other cities of comparable size. The chairman has said often that the splendid and amazing results ac- complished by -the health and pre- if we do not secure ample play space; as no health program can_ succeed without proper exercise, for exercise is 'just as important as relaxation, for the growing child, and no mother would fail to provide a bed for her child's relaxation.

Guest’s |*A Deserted Playground.” There are radio talks on recreation and “Home Play” and “Forty-six Thousand Dol- lars for Playgrounds” are further ar- ticles which stress the importance of play. So the chairman hopes that ®very one will keep in mind the great need of playgrounds in the District for those unfortunate little ones in the crowded sections who can not go away for the summer.

Strawberry shortcake prepared as here described can dispense with cream; it is delicious just with the blending of berry and biscuit and butter tastes. Strawberry shortcake made from bis- cuit dough, rather “short,” and spread liberally with butter before the berries Pure, fresh butter is one of the most desirable and easily digested forms of fat found in foods. It is rich in vitamin A, the growth-promoting vitamin, and therefore is not only of importance in promoting general health, but is of special value in com- bating malnutrition among children. The eating of butter should never be discouraged. Children should be allowed liberal “spreads” of it on their bread; and it should be used freely in cooking. So great is the nourishing powér of butter that, in the long run, it will be found economical not to be sparing of this food material. In addition, from the standpoint of taste, liberal flavoring with butter makes all the difference between flat, uninviting food and that which is piquant and appealing.

Take the social afternoon tea for instance: how many are awake to the fact that a cup of tea served with tiny | hot biscuits, or tin muffins, with butte: | plentiful enough to soak them golden | yellow, is as delightful a refreshment /as it is possible to offer a friend. And | these tiny biscuits with tea are dis- tinctive in their simplicity. They do not need even jam. Butter added freely to tomatoes, to spaghetti, to cream sauces—enough to ‘vive the “butter taste’ already men- tioned—makes distinctive cooking. We will feel comfortable about using | the liberal quantities of butter which are recommended, if we know that there is nothing in good, wholesome butter that could possibly do any one any harm. Rancid, impure butter, of course, is something that we must pro- tect ourselves against, just as we should protect ourselves against all impuri- ties and adulterations in food. We may do so by purchasing reliable brands, with labels that stand for con- scientious manufacture. Butter made from pasteurized cream deserves perhaps the highest recom- mendation, because this process of pasteurization reduces any possibilities of disease-producing bacteria intro- duced by cream from infected cows. In pasteurization, the cream is heated for twenty minutes at a tem- perature between 140 and 180 degrees. Heating at this temperature kills most of the active bacteria, but does not destroy the taste of the cream. Pasteurization, it is thought, not Only increases safety, but increases di- gestibility of the butter product. The composition of good standard butter, made from cream, as it should be made, is about 85 per cent fat, 1 per cent protein, 2 per cent mineral matter and about 11 per cent water The quality of the fat that makes it particularly easy to digest is that the globules are not inclosed in cells, as with most other fats, but are more or less free, so that the digestive fluids can easily get at them. This fact is no; true of rancid, or worked-over butter. The minerals present in good butter are potassium, sodium, calcium, mag- nesiym, a small quantity of iron, phos- HOT WEATHER HINTS Soft Shell Crabs, Crab Flake, Clams and Cooked Shrimp. R. W.

The mornings, according to Capi. oberts, are devoted to close and ex- ded order drill, instruction in riot ty, formal guard mounting, battalion rills and many other phases of the ilitary service. The afternoons are ot so strenuous, and there is usually ple time for the men to swim or st, although the majority of them sually ask for passes to Virginia each nearby. Capt.

Va., Aug. 13— Gassaway F. Cross, 92 years old, died at his home at Harpers Ferry ‘early today. He was born in Harpers Ferry and was a son of Resin Cross. At one time he was prominent in politics, when with the late Gov. E. Willis Wilson, of West Virginia, he helped reorganize the Democratic party in Jefferson County in 1872. He represented Jefferson County in the legislature for a part of two terms serving at both Charleston and Wheel- ing. In his early life he was connected with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. In 1889 through the influence of the late Henry G.

He is survived by a son, Warren D. Cross. RATE CUT AIDS ALL, Refusal by |. C. C., Southern- ers Contend, Will Halt Shipments North. Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Consumers of lake cargo coal, not only in the Northwest, but in the New Eng- land, Southern and Central States would suffer with the coal producers and railroads in the Southern coal fields, should the Interstate Commerce Commission interfere with a voluntary 20-cent reduction in the rates on the lake cargo coal from Southern fields, eleven operators’ associations argued in a statement filed with the commis- sion, copies of which were received here today. The 45 to 68 cent advantage to coal fields in the Pittsburgh district would have the result after this season, the statement said, that “coal will no longer move to the Northwest via the Great Lakes from the great producing fields in Virginia, West Virginia, Ken- tucky and. Tennessee, except in the cases Of special coals for special pur- poses.”’ The argument added that even un- der the 25-cent disadvantage existing before the commission reduced rates from the Northern fields, the Southern Operators could not have shipped coal in any great volume “but for certain temporary economic conditions pre- vailing in the Northern districts which now are being corrected.’ Oppose Improving Deadly Road Curve Special to The Washington Post. Clarksburg, W. Va., Aug. 13.—Public sentiment here has been aroused over what is Known as the “Gore death trap” on the Clarksburg-Fairmont State highway, near this city and has caused a mass meeting to be called for Monday at the courthouse to protest improvement of the dangerous double curve at the home place of Gov: How- ard M. Gore. Originally plans were announced for eliminating the perilous curve and putting the road straight through the Gore farmland, but these plans were changed. In the belief that. Gov. Gore was responsible for the change the Clarksburg Auto Club this week sent a representative to confer with him at Charleston. The governor de- clared that the State road commission had the matter entirely in hand and declared he had adopted a hands-off policy so far as he was concerned.

The field day sponsored by the ad- vocates of the 200-foot Leet boulevard held yesterday on the Henderson Farm, part of which has been offered as a park :y the owners as soon as the county and State get behind the move- ment to establish the boulevard, was attended by many citizens of Arlington and Fairfax counties. The program opened with a baseball game between teams representing Ar- lington and Fairfax counties. Follow- ing the game a basket supper was held on the grounds. Dr. Samuel M. Johnson, president of the National Boulevard Association, the principal speaker, spoke of the efforts he and those close to him have made to give Arlington County a boulevard that will mean more to the county than any one person can estimate. “I can not conceive that the Virginia State Highway Commission, which re- cently held a hearing at the Arlington County courthouse on the question of a boulevard, will ignore an organization like the Lee Highway Association that has accomplished so much in the es- tablishment of boulevards throughout the county in determining the route of th: highway leading from the approach of the new Memorial Bridge,” declared Dr. Johnson. “What has the direct-to-the-bridge organization done toward building ee ee I am not opposed to the direct route. I have and always will do all in my power to aid in its estab- lishment: “What Arlington County must do is to get away fro the idea of one road. We want a system of highways through the county,-and with the co- operation of the citizens we shall have them. “When the announcement was first made of the route of the boulevard the owners of this tract agreed and did give, the deed of which I now have, @ tract of 16 acres for a park. In addition they offered to construct a road 20 feet wide through the entire tract. A fight started over the pro- posed location and the owners gave up the idea and went along the Defense Highway, where they invested thou- sands of dollars. With the cooper tion of the people these men are wit ing to come back and will, with th backing of the county and State, as- sist in making the Lee boulevard the finest in the county. Other speakers were Clarence Ahalt, president of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce; the Rev. Perry L. Mitchell, pastor of the Clarendon Baptist Church; M. E. Church, of Falls Church, and J. Cloyd Byars and Dr. W. F. Martin, president of Ar- lington Hall, a junior college for girls, who offered to give 700 feet fronting the college property for the boule- vard. A. D.

ASKED ~W HONOR OF JEFFERSON Move Is Begun to Submit Plan to Congress; Urged by McAdoo. NOTABLES AT MONTICELLO Charlottesville, Va., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Recognition of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday on April 13 as a national holi- day and the establishment of a me- morial to the author of the Declaration of American Independence in Washing- ton will be urged before Congress as the result of resolutions adopted this afternoon at a meeting of the United States Jefferson Centennial Commis- sion, held at Monticello, Va., Jefferson’s home, and attended by notables from all over the country. William Gibbs McAdoo, former Sec- retary of the Treasury, and Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, both paid a brief tribute to Jefferson after the for- mal resolutions had been presented by Stuart G. Gibbony, representing the commission, to those who had made the pilgrimage to the home of the Sage of Monticello. Mr. McAdoo said that when he went to Washington in 1918, as Secretary of the Treasury, he was surprised to find that there was no monument there to Jefferson, or his great antagonist, Alex- ander Hamilton. He told how a statue to Hamilton had been erected through the efforts of the Democrats. “It would be most appropriate now for some American, Democrat or Re- publican, to come forward, and, with the American people, erect a true me- morial to the man who has done so much for the Nation,” Mr. McAdoo said. Senator Glass called attention to the- fact that Virginians have permitted so many historic homes of the State to be bought by people from without. He congratulated the Jefferson Foundation On what has been done toward the res- toration of Monticello. The assemblage included-Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of air service; Paul Wilstach, author; A. T. Polyziodes, editor of the Atlantis Greek Daily; Ralph R. Lounsburg, of New York; John R. Saunders, attorney general of Vir- ginia, and many members of the Insti- tute of Public Affairs in session at the University of Virginia, as well as mem- bers of the university faculty. A Jefferson medal was presented to A. W. Higgins, general manager of Vir- ginia Public Service Corporation, by Mr. Gibbony, in recognition of his serv- ice in connection with the installation of the Jefferson light at Monticello, said to be the most powerful search- light in the world, which will be dedi- cated next Tuesday night.

BOXES ARE SOLD OUT Special to The Washington Post. Berryville, Va., Aug. 13.—More and larger races and jumping classes will feature the twenty-sixth annual horse show to be held here August 18 and 19 by the Clarke County Horse and Colt Show Association. A marked increase in interest in races has already been noticed since several prominent turf- men have bought large breeding farms in this county recently. Some of them are expected to have entries in the coming races. The local association is offering the largest cash prize for a race of any show in the State in the “Clarke Oaks,” @ mile race for thoroughbreds of all ages. This event is expected to attract horses of unusually high caliber. Clarke County horsemen say they have never noticed more intense rivalry than at present betaween owners of jumping and racing horses who have been exhibiting in shows throughout the State. A. B. Hummer, secretary of the Horse Show Association, announced today a complete sell-out of boxes in the grand- stand and the “most encouraging entry list in years.” Ever since the first Berryville horse show was held 26 years ago it has been the scene of the most distinguished so- cial gathering. in the Shenandoah Valley. .

Ice made ftom heat, made more simply and inexpensively than ever before—ice made without mechanism, without noise, without vibration, without moving parts of any kind. Think of the grief and trouble saved! A simple chilling principle Inside the Electrolux Servel is a refrigerating liquid, hermetically sealed within metal. This liquid alternately expands into a vapor and condenses back to a liquid again. The action goes on perpetually, without needing any attention. A silent little gas flame does all the work. Just light this flame once, and forget it forever after—like the pilot light on a gas : range. There is no odor, no chance of leakage. _ The vital liquid does not deteriorate, does not Lightthelittlegasburner on the Electrolux Servel —once—and you can forget the refrigerator forever after. No norse—no moving parts—no attention needed O great is the demand for this sensa- tional new type of refrigerator that we feel fortunate in having sécured another supply from the factory. These are now on public display in our showrooms. undergo chemical change or need replacement. Lasts a lifetime With no mechanism at all there is not a thing to make noise and not a thing to wear out. Everything about the refrigerator, from the three inches of solid cork insulation to the lead-coated rust-resisting Armco Ingot Iron, is built to last a lifetime. For five years the Electrolux Servel has been thoroughly tested and proved. It is made by one of the oldest, largest and best known refrigerator companies in thé world—the Servel Corporation. Pay for it on your gas bill You can pay for the Electrolux Servel on your gas bill, dividing the cost into easy monthly payments. You'll find that this appliance will almost pay for itself. On either a weekly, monthly or yearly basis it is far less expensive than any other refrigerator. Don’t wait, but come in now to see this household marvel.

Another feature of the fair will be the Rockville fair dance, of which Otho C,Trune@le is chairman. This is the first time the society has given its own dance and the committee in charge has secured a well-known Vir- ginia dance orchestra for the occasion. J. P. Fitzgerald and William A. Waters, member of the racing commit- tee, have arranged a program of har- ness and running races, for the last three days of the fair. To date. there are more than 100 entriés. The har- ness races will be run under the rules of the National Trotting Association, of which the society is a member.

ee ee a a ee + LIGHT FROSTS, RUST CHUSE SHARP. RISES ON WHEAT MARKET Slow Progress of Corn Crop Forces Prices to New Peak. CASH GRAIN FOLLOWS ADVANCE OF FUTURES Pacific Export Shipments Ex- pected Well Under Way Late in Month. Light frosts in parte of the Canadian prairie provinces, together with reports of further rust damage to the United States spring wheat, were strengthening factors which caused sharp advances in wheat prices during the week ended yesterday, according to the weekly grain market review of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics. Continued slow progress of the corn crop forced prices of that grain to new high levels, while continued favor- able threshing returns gave oats addi- tional strength. The rye and barley markets also were firmer, while flax made sharp aa@vances upon unfavorable crop news. While considerable of the spring wheat crop is now past the danger stage from rust, there are sections where danger may still occur. The crop in South Dakota ‘is mostly harvested or safe from rust danger except in the northeastern corner, where probable danger ranges from 5 to 25 per cent, according to Dr. E. C. Stakman, of the United States Bureau of Plant Industry. In the northern Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota wheat is also mostly ripe or cut. Rust was abundant in this area, but damage has proved slight, except in late fields. In the southern Red River Valley, from Morris, Minn., and Fargo, S. Dak., prob- able rust damage diminishes northward, ranging 50 to 15 per cent. Rust is abundant in central North Dakota, but bread wheat at present is little damaged. Rust losses may range up to 15 per cent in southeastern North Dakota, from Jamestown eastward to the Red River Valley, but the crop is cut or ripening, with little injury in the southwestern and northwestern sections of the State. In late fields and in grain along the Canadian border where harvest is about ten days away, losses will depend upon the weather. No Important Changes. There were no important changes in the European wheat market situation during the week. A slight increase in the Northern Hemisphere crop over that of last season is indicated by re- cent reports. The most uncertain fac- tors at present are the final outturns in Canada and Russia. The Canadian crop was Officially estimated August 1 at 357,000,000 bushels, an increase of about 32,000,000 bushels over the July»1 forecast. The crop is late, how- ever, and the possibility of further frost damage or rust infection may materially change the situation. The winter wheat crop showed a further reduction of more than 25,000,- 000 bushels from the July 1 estimate and at the first of August was fore- cast at 550,000,000 bushels. A large part of this reduction was in hard winter, principally in Kansas and Nebraska, although there is a reduction of about 8,500,000 bushels in soft winter wheat in the principal producing States. The condition of spring wheat on August 1 was 86.4 per cént of normal and indicated a crop of about 298,000,- 000 bushels, slightly over 80,000,000 bushels of which in the four principal producing States of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, is durum. The durum crop, according to this estimate, will be around 80 per cent larger than last year in these States. Cash Follows Futures, The cash wheat marke followed ad- vance in future prices with milling demand slightly more active as a re- sult of some improvement in the flour market. Exporters were not active buy- ers, although bids were advanced 2 to 3 cents per bushel and were around $1.51 per bushel for No. 1 hard winter wheat delivered Texas gulf ports. Pro- tein premiums held firm, 13 per cent protein No. 2 hard winter selling at Kansas City at 12 to 13 cents over the September price, which closed August 12 at $1.331%4. Good milling quality soft winter wheat was in very active de- mand at prices 3 to 5 cents higher. While the supply of soft wheat this season is but little larger than domes- tic consumption last year, consider- able of this wheat is going out for export both from gulf and Eastern rts. The movement of new crop spring wheat is increasing and premiums at the close of the week were slightly lower, although some offerings are be- ing readily taken; 13 per.cent protein No. 1 dark Northern was selling at Minneapolis at the close of the week 7 to 18 cents over the September price, which closed August 12 at $1.42%..The durum market was rather nominal. The first car of new amber was- re- ceived at Minneapolis, where No. 1 amber was quoted at 20 to 30 cents over the Duluth September, which ad- vanced nearly 5 cents during the week and closed August 12 at $1.39%. There was an active export demand on the Pacific Coast with receipts in- creasing and export shipments ex- ‘ted to get well under way toward | POS e latter part of the month. Harvest- ing is progressing rapidly with export white wheat selling at Portland at $1.34 bushel and milling wheat slightly igher. There was a good demand for ' choice milling grades at San Francisco, - where No. 1 hard winter was sellin at $2.20 per 100 pounds. Milling whea _ at Los Angeles was quoted at $2.30 per - ~s : 4 orgs Eh at the close of the week > at lis at 89 to 90 cents per 100 pounds. 61,000,000 Bushels of Rye. ‘The rye crop is now estimated at 61,- 000,000 bushels, about 20,000,000 bush- els more than was harvested Jast year. Receipts of new rye are increasing at _ the market and are showing very. good quality. Future prices followed the ad- vance in wheat to some extent, b cash premiums were lower, No. 2 rye serious as to. the i: ~~ o. es ee EE CCC LT ee showing very unsatisfactory yields and quality, and this has given the market independent strength and caused a con- tinued upward trend in prices, No, 3 white oats being quoted at around 46 to 49 cents per bushel at the princtpal markets. A barley crop of about 249,000,000 bushels was in prospect at the first of August and is the largest. crop but one on . Receipts at the markets to date show much good quality barley which is in good demand at steady prices. No. 2 special was selling at the close of the week at Milwaukee at 821, to 85 cents, while good malting grades were quoted at Chicago at 72 to* 79 cents and at Minneapolis at 71 to 76 cents.

By FRANK H. YOUNG. HE final game of this series with the New York Yankees is on the program for this afternoon, and night were worried because In case the weather man should butt in today, it ‘would be necessary for the game to be transferred to the Big Town, for this is Ruth, Gehrig & Co.’s last 1927 visit here. Manager Harris is planning to shoot Tom Zachary right back at the league leaders this. afternoon. He was beaten by them in the opener of the series, but was generally effective, and hopes to get revenge today. The Washing- ton southpaw probably will find Urban Shocker, Herb Pennock or Waite Hoyt opposing him, Huggins being doubtful | as to which will get the call. He fooled the scribes yesterday by starting Moore after having Pennock warm up and may pull some more “wise stuff” today for no reason at all, for, whether he uses a southpaw, right- hander or spit-baller makes no differ- ence to the Nats, who use the same gainst all kinds of hurling. Coach Jack suspension, right ankle Onslow, severely before now under strained his yesterday’s game and now is robbed of the pleasure of even sneaking in a lit- tle baseball before the umpires come on the Tield. The injury was received in a most unusual fashion, Jack jumping for a line drive and landing on another ball which was lying on the field.. This | means that even after his ban is lifted, which should be shortly, unless Presi- dent Ban Johnson has forgotten about him again, he will be forced to idle, for Trainer Mike Martin says he will be out for at least a week. Manager Harris stated last night that he was convinced that, despite Joe Judge’s willingness to play, it would be an injustice to ask him to cover the first sack again today, and he will be given time off ¢o give his Charley horse a chance to heal. ; As Tris Speaker, the veteran out- fielder who hasbeen subbing at first, also is far from right, Earl McNeely has been told to get ready to act as door- way guardian. He has looked fairly good in practice, and Harris is confi- dent that he will put up a good game CONTINUED ON PAGE 19, COLUMN 8. National Park Net Finals Rained Out St. Louis, Mo., Aug 13 (A.P.).—Rain here tonight caused postponement from Sunday afternoon to Monday of the final singles match in the national public parks tournament. Final matches in the doubles and singles will be run off, starting at 1:30 Sunday afternoon if the courts dry sufficiently. Ralph Rice and George Jennings, of Chicago, Michigan doubles champions, will-meet Gus Amsterdam and Milton Hopkins, of Philadelphia, in the first match, when Theodore Drewes and William Bell, of St. Louis, are pitted against Clifford Beutel, and Herbert Hopkins, of University City, Mo.

St. Louis Bows Again Before Detroit, 8 to 7 Detroit, Mich., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Wingo’s double against the left-field fence with two out in the ninth scored two runners and gave Detroit its fourth successive victory over St. Louis here today. The score was 8 to 7. Wingo’s two-bagger followed singles by eHilmann and Manush. Detroit used three pitchers in a successful ef- fort to win.

EW YORK, Aug. 13.—On his de- parture for Chicago, Leo Poly- anna Flynn announced today that his William MHarrison Dempsey would start active training for his im- pending bout with Gene Tunney next Thursday at the Lincoln Fields race course outside of the Windy City lim- its. Gus Wilson, who -was delegated by Flynn to organize Jack’s svarring staff, has rounded. up Dave Shade, Allen- town Joe Gans, and Martin Burke, wuio trained him for his fight with Jack Sharkey. Dempsey, due in Chicago at the end of the week from Los Angeles, will stop off for a day to visit his mother in Salt Lake City, after paying his respects to Otto Floto in Denver on another one-day stopover en route. Tunney will pitch his camp at Lake Villa, Ill, about 50 miles north of Chicago. Gene, however, will continue to train in Specula- tor, N. Y., and will not shift to his new quarters until three weeks before the fight. When Flynn and Wilson left for Chi-. cago today, they had Promoter Tex Rickard and several of his box office men as traveling companions. Tex Rickard will remain in Chicago until after the fight. Rickard took along boxoffice chief, Joe Boynton, gether with secretaries and whatnots. Even before he departed, kickara \Was battling with ticket situation. As has always been the case at a saturnalia of the heavyweights, everybody wants to get tickets in the front rows. This Chicago job is going to require more diplomacy than the promoter has ever been called on to exercise before. Denver Boxer Dead From Bout Injuries Denver, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Jack Mad- den, Denver boxer, knocked out in the ninth round of a scheduled ten-round bout last night by Clarence Shot, box- ing under the name of Shot Nunn, died at the General Hospital today as a result of injuries he received. Shot, who claims Atchison, Kans., as his home, was taken into custody at the request of the State Boxing Com- mission which is investigating the cir- cumstances leading to Madden’s death. Mostil Joins Chisox When Club Gets Home Chicago, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—The Chi- cago White Sox, when they return from their disastrous Eastern trip Tuesday, will be greeted by Johnny Mostil, once their star outfielder, who tried to take his life with a razor blade on the train- ing trip last spring, according to word today from Mostil’s camp at Lake Ledavan, Wis. Mostil has been training faithfully since he recovered from the numerous cuts on his arms and legs, and last week, he said, he had circled the bases in nineteen seconds, besides showing considerable skill with the bat. to- MAJOR LEAGUE STATISTICS AMERICAN LEAGUE.

In successfully defend- ing the trophy, the United States won possession of ‘it for the third time, while the British have held it twice. While the Nuthall-Jacobs match fur- nished its ®ill share of youthful spirit and Miss W‘lls exh'blted the most daz- Zling display of stroking power, the chief thrills of the day’s play were packed in the fight between the veteran Mrs. Mallory and the 2l-year-old Miss Fry. Not only did the outcome of the series hinge upon it, at the time, but it developed a stirring test of courage and stamina between youth and age that had a gallery of 10,000 tors in almost constant uproar. Mrs. Mallory was leading by 5—1 in the second set, victory appar- ently in her grasp, when Miss Fry suddenly rallied and swept through five straight games to take the lead amid thunderous applause. that, tenaciousiy as She fought for every point, Mrs. Mallory was six times within a stroke of victory before she finally put over the winning shot in the twentieth game of a series that has had few equals for thrills in the annals of women’s tennis.

Y., Aug. 13 (A.P.).— The British Army-in-India polo squad, which is to meet the American four for the international challenge cup next month, today scored an impressive 9-5 victory over a picked team of Ameri- can players in a practice match. Three members of the defeated quar- tet, J. Watson Webb, Malcolm Steven- son and Robert E. Strawbridge, were members of the victorious American team in the international series three years ago, so the English victory stamps that team as worthy opposi- tion for the new United States com- bination.

Mallory “might have won” a crucial point but for a premature outburst, The final game was as bitterly fought as any. Both players seemed near ex- haustion, but two forcing shots gave Mrs. Malory the verdict after she had twice more been checked with only a point needed to decide the match. Mrs. Mallory was thus the heroine of the American triumph, although it was Miss Wills who gave the mgst convinc- ing exhibitions of any player on either team. Together the two American singles aces accounted for four victories. enough to clinch the cup, but where Miss Wills had been counted on before- hand to come through, Mrs, Mallory ex- ceeded expectations by her brilliant play, in checking Miss Fry today as well as in upsetting the British cap- tain, Mrs. Godfree, yesterday. Miss Wills, in her two singles encounters, allowed her opponents only four games in as many sets to demonstrate her overwhelming superiority. Miss Nuthall’s triumph over Miss Jacobs was the only singles victory of the series for the British team, which won its remaining match in the doubles yesterday. The young English girl, much steadier than her California rival, exhibited unusual power of stroke and clever generalship to over- come the uncertain underh&and service, an old style delivery which she used while standing from six to eight feet behind the base line. Dr. Parsons Leads Field in Clay Shoot Dr. Parsons had his shooting eye working to perfection yesterday and consequently shattered 48 birds in the singles race, in addition to scoring a perfect 25 in the Hellen Cup competi- tion, in two of the feature events of the weekly shoot yesterday, at the Washington Gun Club. Dr. Silvester, with a 46, was second in the Hellen Cup race. Blundon, Smith, Slivester, Wynkoop and Cain hung up some fine scores.

Rogers, vice commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club, under the auspices of which the speedboat races will be staged. “It was variously estimated that the crowd at last year’s regatta numbered from 75,000 to 125,000 people,” said Rogers, who is chairman of the regatta, “and it is a fairly conservative esti- mate that 100,000 will be on hand next time.

Our regatta has been boomed throughout the country as the grand finale of the speedboat season and many of the we oe people who go in for this sport will come here as base- ball fans would go to a world series.” The regatta committee is con- eentrating on plans to make the Pe egy ovary of greatest inter- be turned to an excel- lent account. glenn, Hi me For instance, the Marine Band will be at the first Presidents’ Cup regatta.

Among the nine men who played as regulars last fall who will again -be on hand are Capt. Harold Baf- “ford, center; Earl Zulick and "Monald Adams, tackles; Gus Croth- ers and. Artie Wondrack, guards; ®John Leatherman, end; Gordon ;eessler, quarterback; Lewis Thomas, ehalfback, and Fred Linkous, full- °ack. ‘Gerald Snyder and John Parsons, HWalfbacks, and John Keenan, guard, g@iso were near regulars, who will again i available, giving Byrd a dozen men who have been through the mill. >In addition to these, Ed Tenney, reg- ular 1925 quarterback, who was out of the game last season on account of am appendicitis operation; many re- s from last fall, and a host of, talent from the 1926 Fresh- _,8n, will be in the squad of radre than 40, who will don suits Labor Day.

District Well Represented In National Golf Title Play 8 Entrants in Amateur Tourney, Including McCarthy, Georgetown, and Newton, Lido Club, Hail From Capital City. By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST. HE entry list for the national amateur championship at the Minnekahda Club, Minneapolis, as announced by the United States Golf Association, contains 168 names and comprises without exception the best amateur golfers in the United States. ! It is also a most representative-. list, in- cluding all sections, and gives evidence of the determination of the association to afford an opportunity for distinction to a large number of players who, upon their records, are entitled to make an effort to qualify. So far as Washington is concerned, | a larger share of recognittton could not be asked. Including Maurice J: Mc- Carthy, who registers from the Old Flatbush Club, but who is a student at Georgetown University and a full- fledged member of the Washington Golf and Country Club, and S.'M. Newton, who is a member of Burning Tree Club although accredited to Lido, the eight | local golfers, their starting times and_| their partners in the first day of quali-| fication are as follows: IP nga toga Sterinson, Columbia, and 10:1o—Guy M, Standifer, Columbia, aaa H.

Newton, and Gardner Grown, Hinsdale Golf Club, Chicago. As only 32 players can qualify, ex- actly 75 per cent of the entrants must necessarily fall by the wayside. This means that all of the Washington play- ers must play close to par figures in the 36-hole qualification test on a Lido, course which is 6,669 yards in length | and has a par of 35—37—72. Minne- kahda, it will be remembered, was the scene of the 1916 open championship which “Chick” Evans won with a total of 286 strokes, the record low score for the championship in all the 30-odd years it has been played. It is not ex- pected, however, that this feat will be duplicated this year. In the first place, the course is 600 yards longer and has been made much more difficult by the additions of traps and other hazards. It is said that there are no freak holes on the course. A glance at the entry list is sufficient to prove that the Washington talent is up against a stiff proposition in the effort to land among the 32 qualifiers eligible for match play. First and fore- most are Robert T. Jones, jr., and George Von Elm, who fought the final round at Baltusrol last year. Von Elm, who is now playing practice rounds at Minnekahda, was quoted when he lett Los Angeles as saying that his determi- nation to win this year is stronger than ever and everybody knows that he isa fighter who never weakens. In addi- tion to these two leaders, there is an impressive array of golfing talent, in- cluding the following. tichard A. Jones, jr., Eddie Held, A. Gardner, Albert Seckel, ston, Dexter Cummings, Jesse P. Guilford, tobert Harrison R, John- James S. Manion, Francis Ouimet, ‘ | Carter, William J. Platt, George: Densmore Shute, Clarence L., Dolp, Ellsworth H. Augustus, elair Dean, Charles Evans, jr., Knepper, George V. Rotan, Dr. 0. F. Willing, Jack Neville, William C. Fownes, jr., Watts Gunn, Harold Weber, Max R. Marston, D. Clarke Corkran, Fred. J. Wright, jr. and S. Davidson Herron. The list, which could be almost in- definitely extended, indicates the char- acter of the struggle which is impend- ing on the Minnekahda course. To qualify in the face of such formidable opposition will be honor enough for any Washington golfer, even though elimi- nation in a match-play round should speedily follow.

N* YORK, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—A $1,000 golf foursome, in which gutty balls were used and kept packed in ice to prevent melting, was recalled today by Robert H. Davis in a copyrighted article in the New York Sun. The match took place on August 11, 1896, at Grey Oaks, in Westchester, near the St. Andrews Club. The match was played on “one of the hottest days in the history of Westchester County,” Davis said, and brought forth the use of a bucket of ice by one side of the foursome while the other two used water from hydrants when the heat reduced the balls almost to putty.

White had whistling services. Thalheimer had brilliant volleys.

White has played on the los- ing side against Tilden and Hunter twice in a week. He was paired with Richard N. Williams at Sea Bright and lost in the final. Their two tournament victories in succession on the heels of triumph in the English championships at Wim- bledon puts Tilden and Hunter far in the lead for the doubles designation in defense of the Davis Cup.

C., pair, in three straight sets by the scores of 6—2, 6—1, 6—0O. The Smoky City youngsters were masters of the game, playing together with perfect crafts- manship. King, singles winner, tried his best to pull the match out, but Porter was weak and they never ser- iously threatened the Pitt duet. Earlier in the day the O’Loughlin brothers de- feated Frederichs and Ramsay to gain the finals. In the women’s singles, Mrs. Delloyd Thompson, of Washington, Pa., won the title for the second year in succession. Her opponent was 15-year-old Eleanor Zink, of Steubenville, Ohio. The count was 6—0, 6—2. In mixed doubles Mrs. Thomp- son and John O’Louglin won the final from Miss Eloise Roman, of Cumberland, Md., and Dave O’Loughlin. The match went three sets and kept the gallery on edge. The scores were 6—4, 8—6. Mrs. Hugh Miller, of Kingwood, W. Va., presented the cups to the winners. The event this year was the most suc- cessful in the tourney’s- history. The invitation tournament to have been staged next week at Deer Park, three miles from here, has been called off On account of courts not being in con- dition. Hiser Stars Win Two; Plays Heights Today One of the best out-of-town attrac- tions scheduled today is the clash be- tween Hiser’s All Stars and the District Heights Nine on the latter’s diamond at 3 o’clock. Hiser’s men have been go- ing at a great clip lately and are ex- pected to give the Heightsmen plenty of battle. Frederick, Md., Aug. 13, 1927. Hiser’s All Stars journeyed to Frederick today and handed the St. John A. C. a double trouncing in the form of 6-to-3 and 3- to-0 scores. A determined three-run rally in the ninth took all the heart out of the Johnsman in the first game and enabled the Hyattsville tosser to cop. Fenwick pitched a steady game, strik- ing out 4 and keeping 10 hits well scat- tered. The second tussle was hurling duel between Whalley and Shipley, with the former having the slight advantage. The All Stars bunched their hits in three different innings to score the markers that spelled victory. ‘Both games were featured by the around play of each team. Hiser A.-S. AB II A|&t.

H. Pardoe, one of the low handicap members of the club. Pardoe negotiated the 420-yard hole in two shots during the recent dry spell, when all the fairways were hard and fast. His drive carried to the 250-yard marker, but as the ball struck the ground, it took a long bounce forward and kept rolling until it was-only 70 yards short of the green. His pitch shot carried the ball to the edge of the green, whereupon the ball went straight ahead until it disappeared in the cup. Distance posts, up to 250 yards, have been placed along several of the fair- ways of the Columbia course. Nine- teenth-hole boasts of long drives are not as humerous as they used to be, This column is in receipt of a letter from a gentleman of inter- national distinction who is also a golfer of no mean ability. He writes that he was recently playing over one of the District courses with an opponent who took two or three practice strokes within a club’s length of his ball, playing through the green. ii. told him,” the letter continues, that if he were in a tournament he would be called down, because one was not permitted to take a practice stroke within a club’s length of the ball when Playing through the green. He dis- puted my statement, and I am em- barrassed because I can not find any such rule. Am I mistatxen?” This incident is only another demon- stration of the necessity of completely revising the rules. What are the facts in the case? First of all, under the heading “Gene eral and Through the Green,” there is Rule 15, as follows: Rule 15—Moving or bending fixed o i - : ph a r growl objects—Before striking at an ball iv aiag a player shall not move, bend, nor break anything fixed or growing, except so far as is necessary to enable him fairly to take his stance in addressing the ball, or in making his forward or backward swing, The club may only be grounded lightly, and not pressed on the ground. ‘The penalty for a breach of | this rule shall be the loss of the hole. | Underneath this rule, in italie type, | showing that it is not a part of the | rule itself, 1s the following note: & J he penalty should not be applied to an infringement of this rule occurring in a prac- tice swing or swings, after the ball ts tn Dlay, provided it is more than a club length from the ball Re a ee _ While this notation is both ind-finite ; and ungrammatical, and although it 'is merely an interpretation of the rule to which it is appended, the inference is | Plain that the practice swing must be tac at a greater distance from the | ! ball than a club’s length. Apparently the British authorities have no such ruling for there is no ref- erence to practice swings through the green in the St. Andrew’s code as re- printed by the United States Golf As- sociation. In, this country, however, the rulings o: the U. S. G. A. must | apply, although it would save con- _ troversy if the proposed prohibition of practice swings within a club’s length of the ball was expressed in positive and direct terms. In a three-ball match on the Wash- ingtc 1 course last week, P. W. Calfee }and Paul V. Keyser were partners against Dave Thomson, the club profes- Sional, the contest had a rather re- markable ending. Playing the six- teenth hole, Calfee played his approach shot within 4 or 5 feet of the cup insuring him a birdie 3. Did he win the hole? Not at all. From a distance of 75 or 80 yards Thomson pitched his ball into the cup for an eagle 2. Then came the seventeenth hole. Keyser played his second shot to the green, the ball stopping about 8 feet from the pin. Thomson approached within 6 feet. Keyser ran his putt down for a birdie 3. So did Thomson. In two holes played in birdies, Calfee and Keyser were 1 down. This was too fast a pace for the amateurs and it is not surprising that they were defeated by a small margin. The next golf outing of the Kiwanis Club will be on the Bellehaven Club, Alexandria, next Thursday, preceded by &@ lunch at the Alexandria Club at 12:30 o’clock, There will be a team match play between the Washington and Alex- andria Kiwanians. Col. C. B. Garnett returned last week from Princess Anne, Va., where a golf tournament was a feature of a lawyers’ convention Col. Garnett was fortunate enough to bring hack a satchel-load of Silverware, winning both the low gross and low net prizes and being allowed to retain both trophies, Harry Grant, secretary of the In- dian Spring Club and a consistent- ly good golfer, conspired last week with Eugene Larkin, the caddy master of the club, to inveigle Ed- die Towns, the club professional, into a match, ; After considerable discussion Towns offered to play the best ball of the Grant-Larkin combination and, for gocd measure, agreed to start his oppo- nents 3 up. The first three holes were halved, and Grant and Larkin won the next six, much to the chagrin of Towns, who magnanimously conceded the tenth eg making his loss 10 down and 8 O go. Dr. J. T.

By RICHARD 8S. TENNYSON, HE recent announcement that Earl Clark had been purchased by the Boston Braves from the Richmond Club for $15,000 created wider local interest than the rise of any Wash- ington sandlotter to the big leagues in many years. The name Earl Clark has been before the Washington sport public more or less prominently for the past eight years although he has just reached manhood. Clark’s name first appeared in head- lines in 1919 when he led the Monroe Elementary School Team to the play- ground soccer championship. His in- dividual play attracted the attention foreign players, attached to local wed the game. They prophesied that he would be a pro- fessional soccer player. This did not seem at all improbable in the ensuing years when Clark brought three more titles to Monroe team to play in the Washington Soccer League. In the latter organization, country and did not suffer by On the contrary he flash- ed his same speed and aggressiveness soccer. Earl’s elementary school activi- ties were not confined to soccer nor were his great successes limit- ed to the kicking game. In a city championship baseball game be- tween Monroe School and Buch- anan + in 1922, Clark pitched eighteen scoreless innings and came back two days later and shut out his rivals, 3 to 0. He holds the playground department elementary school record for the | running broad jump and 100-yard dash. Both were made in 1922. He covered the 100 yards in 11 seconds and leaped | 18 feet 11 inches in the broad jump.

Miss. Beck- ham said on the occasion of a presentation ~ axercise several years ago, when the Monroe building was feceiving a_ play- ground trophy that Clark had been the mainspring in winning. and a former “Earl is the ideal type of American boy. He plays his games hard and with spirit, but never unfairly. Re- gardiess of his personal triumphs he is sincere in wanting his teammates to share the glory of victory.” Playground’ directors, who supervised Clark in his early achievements claim that they never knew of an instance when an oppo- nent of Clark felt resentful toward him after a match. This is worthy of note when it is remembered that he has taken part in the bitterest-fought school championship games in the his- tory of the elementary games and he always took a commanding part in the victories. , Clark goes to the majors with the well wishes of all Washington play- ground and grade schoo] kids, as he has long been an ideal ahd model for them to pattern their athletic careers after and his footsteps are good ones for them to attempt to walk in. ° have sport ° ° American Midgets The Crandalls scored an easy 15 to victory over the American Midgets The winners pounded out fourteen while Lewis held the losers to} nine scattered safeties. } 0 AiCrandall. 1iArehie,ef.... 2 Jnliano.if.... 4 ABH O « , 2 Victor,3b.... 5 } naldson,p. 3 Pfarr.20:...

LTHOUGH it has to do with “The A Strange Case of Earl McNeely,” this is not a detective story, but it merely brings out the unusual cir- cumstances which have marked the trail of the Washington utility out- fielder ever since he came up from the Sacramento Coast League Club in 1924. In the final half of that season Manager Harris convinced President Clark Griffith that the Nats had a gcod chance to win a pennant pro- vided a capable center-fielder could be obtained, and Scout Joe Engel instructed to beg, borrow or steal one. After disappearing for nearly two weeks, the Washington “ivory hunter” suddenly showed up at the club head- quarters with the information that he had located just the man the Nats were looking for, but that he would cost balance in players. As fifty “grand” was just as much then as it is now, Griffith hesitated about giving it up for an experiment, but, as the race was getting tighter with his team still in it and Marris was stili calling for help, Griff decided to do a little gambling, and MeNeely was bought. The “Earl of Sacramento,” as his mates called him because of some of the fancy suitings he soon began to display, immediately started in proving that he was worth all that was paid for him—and then some. fle played 43 games that season, cracked out 59 hits, including 5 doubles and 6 triples, and ended with the neat stick-average of 330. He fielded .973. His work cut’quite a figure in the Nats’ chase down the home-stretch and, to cap the climax, it was his bounder over Lindstrom’s head in the twelfth inning of the seventh and de- ciding game of the world’s series with the Giants which let the Nats enlarge their claim from champs of the Ameri- was | $50,000, $35,000 of it in cash and the | EARL M’NEELY. on occasions, but he managed to see his name in the line-up in 124 games and to end the season with a batting mark of .303, 20 two-bag- gers and a uwozen three-baggers being hid among his 134 hits. He also stepped out as a base-runner, ~pihering 18 sacks, which put him sixth in the entire circuit in this respect. This year finds the “Eart of Sacra- mento” warming the bench except when some of the regulars are unavail- able. He has managed to get in 52 games, however, and his present rating as a pill-pounder is .286. McNeely is still a youngster, is a flashy fielder, a streak on the bases, and has hit better than .300 in two of the four seasons he has been a big- leaguer and yet he is still “on the out- side looking in.” The Nats would not for a moment consider letting him go, yet they apparently do not rate him highly. And yet .no particular reason can be given in .explanation of this strange situation. Earl’s throwing arm is not the best, yet there are other regulars in the league with poorer whips. This year, of course, the signing of Tris Speaker ruined the youngster’s chances, although can League so as to take in the whole universe. McNeely was rated as a regular in 1925 and participated in 122 games. The pitchers evidertly started “working on him” that season, with the result that his stick average dropped to. .285, although he showed considerable ability in another respect by stealing 14 bases. His fly-chasing improved Slightly, his his record for that season being .977. it is not at all certain that he would have gotten the call regularly even had the former Indian not been coaxed into the Harrisian wigwam. Probably the real answer is. that many of McNeely’s hits are lucky ones and Harris figures that his luck can not last forever. If this is the case, Earl has what might be termed a “lucky” com- plex—he’s not lucky in landing a regular job because he is lucky at the plate. Last year, McNeely was benched As we remarked before—it’s a strange case. Takoma A.C. Defeats District Heights, 5-2 Skinner came back strong as the Ta- Karly Cage Start Plan of Lightning A.

In Crucial Ballston and St. Joseph’s Games Today Hartfords Seek to Increase Position in East Section in Important Game With Hess on Barracks Field. will clash at 1:30 o’clock today in a double-header on the Friend- ship field in the feature game of the unlimited class of the Capital City League. In an East section contest the Hartford nine, runner-up to the Northeast Motors, will seek to increase its standing at‘ the expense of the Hess A. A., when these teams meet in a single game on ‘the Wasahington Barracks diamond at 3:30 o'clock, The Ballston-St. Joseph’s games will practically decide the winner of the East section. Ballston is leading, with f THE Ballston and St. Joseph’s teams | three victories in as many games, and needs only to split even in the two games to secure a firm grip on the section title. On the other hand, the St. Joseph’s suffered a defeat at the hands of the Addison team, and can gain in the race only by winning both games from Ballston. A defeat for Hartfords will virtually eliminate them in the East section if Northeast Motors its present strength. The burden of winning rests greatly upon the pitching staffs of the opposing teams. Although the roster of most of the teams in- cludes two or more capable pitch- ers, the double-headers undoubt-— edly will place a strain upon the hurlers. In respect to pitching strength the Hartford mound corps of Tripp, Van Landingham and Bellman have the edge over DeMarco, Deuterman and Geuthler, of the Hessmen, but the latter are counted upon for their offensive attack to offset any shortcomings in the twirling department. The Ballston-St. Joseph’s games should provide some excellent pitching performances, as both teams boast ex- ceptionally strong pitching staffs. Man- ager Wood, of Ballston, will most likely give the pitching assignments for to- day’s games to King and Sebastin. These hurlers have been big factors in the success of the Virginia nine, and upon their shoulders rest the Ballston pennant hopes. Tom Stolle, star of the Quantico Marine team, will copay one of the games for St. Joseph’s, while Farrington or Augustine will oppose Ballston in the other. The St. Joseph’s in the game against Fort Myer last Sunday showed a marked improvement in their de-~ fensive play, which had been ragged and undependable in previous games. All players are requested to report on | 2 PETWORT GAMES FOR . TODAY. - Keanes Meet Yorkes; Tremonts Play Kanawhas. V2 CTION for the Petworth League schedules two games today. The Tremonts and Kanawhas clash on the South Ellipse at 3 o'clock and the T. T. Keanes and Yorkes engage on the East Ellipse at the same time. The race seems to be narrowing dow to a two-team affair between the Keanes and Tremonts. This fact pre- sented itself after last week’s results, when the Kanawhas, who had been knocking at the heels of the leaders, fell before the masterful pitching. of Joe Freschi, of the Keanes. Not that the Kanawhas are to be counted ou of it, but their stock took a decide descent when they failed to stop the meat packers in the most important game in the series. "3S Upon the result of the Tremont- Kanawhas game today virtually hinges: the chances of the former. The last year’@ champions must win this engagemems’ to stay in the -race, because th dope all points to the Keanes beer | the lowly Yorkes.

The °} Kanawhas, with Newman and’ Sykes, expect to put up a deter- mined fight to strengthen their al- ready weakened position. : A win at this juncture would instill the necessary punch to carry the Kane awhas over and make them the formid- able looking outfit that was 60 dame gerous during the early part of the race. The dope has it that the Yorkes will be treated unmercifully by the Keanes, Of course, everything points to a Keame victory, but upsets have occurred at the most inopportune times, and this might be just the time. Anyway, the Yorkes will be in there trying to jol& the meat packers. A good game i@® promised, f Joe Freschi will be on the mound for the Keanes, and this worthy will » | endeavor to add to his long string of «| victories. Last week’s tussle proved to followers that big-league scouts were: . right when they picked him fipe fog; big time delivery. Louis Jewett oF Randolph Shreve will probably toe the mound for the Yorkes. 3 . ; As aat / ee - ’ - ‘3 SANDLOT NOTES. | -— HE large number of players whd have been graduated from th Washington sandlots to the ranks, of professional baseball would indicate that the quality of play offered by local, teams is of a high order. The fact that, the Union Printers, representing thé Capital in the Typographical tourney, have won the championship for the last five years in competition with the teamhs of eleven other cities also bespeaks it favor of local amateur baseball. ee Several young stars, still in their teens, will receive trials next spring with professional clubs. Several others who have established themselves in, the minors are on their way to the ma+ jor leagues, according to recent reports. The reorganized Knickerbockers evi- dently are seeking to better their cone secutive winning streak of 1925, when they won 27 games in a row. Unless they play through the winter monghs this feat seems impossible. Three straight wins have afforded the Knicks a good start, and they might continu any belated streak next year. ' The former Yankee-like attack of the Shamrocks has been absent in the Harp games this year, but has been supplanted by an abundance of baseball, which seems to be winning games with an habitual regularity. pi The west section of the unlimitéd class in the Capital City League will be virtually decided today when tiie Baliston and St. Joseph teams clash in a double-header. aad Herbert Murray, captain of the Maryland University team last year, is playing a bang-up game at third base for the Northeast Motors nine. Murray is one of the most consistent ses of local sandlot players. a. Nicholas Panella, of the Pullman team, who was looked upon by scoyta as a minor-league prospect a few year ago, has regained his old form. While pitching against the Baltimore & Obie Railroad team Panella’s arm snapped, During the iollowing year he deserted the pitching role for an outfield berth, but is now ready for mound service.5< 9h Little Albert Tucci, a veritable insect himself, stands out as the most versae- tile youngster in the insect ranks. iAl can play all positions, including catckt+ ing, with equal ability and ease. Un+ doubtedly he has profited by the good points in the playing of his elder broth- er, Joseph Tucci. sai Frank Cinotti, of St. Joseph’s, and Roy Inghram, of the Addison team, afé closely pressing Willie Glascoe, of the Shamrocks, for the distinction of “the ideal manager.” The former pair tak baseball very seriously. ae George Brandt, of the Central Reda, suffered his first defeat in the Capital City League Sunday, when the Corine thians beat him, 5 to 0. Brandt granted only four hits, but his wildness proved — his downfall. * Ray McGarvey, who sprained iis ankle during one of the early Petworth League games, is back in the Yorke line-up again He made his presence felt by playing a stellar game last week-end. aT The Takoma Tigers, that determined aggregation of ball hawks, after 6X- periencing a little dissension in their ranks, made an impressive come last week by scoring a shutout victony over one of its opponents. ‘40 Mike Freschi, brother of the now Tae mous Joe, big league protege, performe@ a noble act tape Sundsy when he “e (ped into the!

Railroad Worker Meets ICHMOND, Va., Aug. 13.—Virginia Writer ‘Still Beliawes > Orioles Superior to Yankees. By JOHN J. M’GRAW (Manager, New York Giants.) EW YORK CITY, Aug. 13-—The greatest thrill I get out of base- ball ia association with a team of while coming from behind. The rush with which our club started on its Western invasion and finished just as strong has given me quite a kick. The outsider probably doesn’t realize what it-means to an old baseball man to hear that snap and bark from the bench when a game gets close. It is just as inspiring in that case as it is depressing to see a group of great ball- | players merely go through the motions | ina quiet, business-like feel the difference, too. Right now I don’t know whether the Giants can make the fight hot enough t@ displace the Cubs and the Pirates and win out, but I do know that they are going to have a merry time of it before the championship is settled. There is no doubt about our club hav- ing made them all nervous. way. The fans | ‘The Giants certainly have a fighting | chance, but they’ve got many obstacles | in their way. If they do win it will go down in history as one of the great- | est finishes baseball ever has known. "To make a cold analysis of it, the schedule gives the Cubs a decided ad- vantage in that they have a lot of games to play on their home grounds whiile the Eastern clubs are traveling. The Chicago team 1s singularly fitted to its own grounds. The team has been built up with that in view. Their long-fly hitters “™- poke many a home run into the ‘Stands or against the ‘walls that ‘would not be so effective elsewhere. a" Another advantage held by the Cubs and also the Pirates and Cardinals is that their final job is to stay at home and stand off the weaker Eastern clubs. It is generally conceded, of course, that the only real chance for the East is the Giants. When it comes to the home etvetch the other Eastern clubs, very likely, will be in a hopeless position. It is only natural that a club falls off in its spirit to get up on its toes and fight when it realizes that it is going nowhere. It is like the difficulty of getting soldiers steamed training when there is no war. Therefore, experience has taught me that a club with a fighting chance need expect little help from those without hope. It is up to the Giants to do all their own winning, a most formidable job. For example, while we are fight- ing the Cubs the effort might be wast- ed, because the other Eastern clubs will not be holding back the Pirates and Cardinals. We've simply got to Hek them all. The awarding of prize money for the second, third and fourth teams will not figure in this case, because that will probably be decided be- tween Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals and Giants. The Reds will also put up “a stiff fight to edge into the first division. .But to win, even under those circum- stances, is not impossible, and the Giants are all set to make a drive for it. I merely point out that it is a tougher job than most fans seem to réalize. I am still receiving controversy over’ the present-day Yankees and the former Baltimore Orioles. I still refuse to believe that the powerful punch of the Yanks coulda easily have beaten a recognized smart club like the Orioles in a pennant race One point seems to have been over- looked by the supporters of the Yanks in the argument. They say we didn’t have enough good pitchers to stop bat- _ ters like Ruth, Gehrig, Meusel and others. Just the same, we ran against a most powerful hitting club—the most pow- erful of those days—the Phillies.

The West Virginia University football squad, as a whole, will report to Coach Rodgers at Jacksons Mill training camp in fine condition September 1, according to first-hand in- formation received concerning the sum- mer activities of some 45 varsity candi- dates, from which the 1927 Mountaineer eleven will be chosen. Letters from the men show that they realize fully that the 1927 grid cam- paign will be the hardest ever mapped out for a West Virginia football team, and consequently they have spent the summer, for the most part, working hard to prepare for the magnitude of ithe task ronti them this fall. players that develops a fighting spirit | the. task cont ving The occupations of the West Virginia gridders range from ditch digging to lecturing, with the more arduous pick- and-shovel jobs winning by a 10-to-1 margin. The summer activities of Coach Rodgers’ crew spread over some sixteen different kinds of employment, including such jobs as oil field work, pipe-line construction, attendance at summer school, farm work, hod-carrier’s assistant, boilermaker’s assistant, paint- ing, surveying, truck driving and work 'in steel mills, lumber camps and coal mines. Ten West Virginia football play- ers have chosen pick-and-shovel work as a “conditioner.” George “Butch” Nixon reports that he is “down” to 195 pounds, and that he has wielded the pick and shovel all summer in his home town, Alli- ance, Ohio. His brother, Ted Nixon, is also doing “road work” in and about. Morgantown. Clint Carrico, Joe Joy, Cassie Ryan, “Little Sleepy” Glenn, Bill Harrick, Nelson Lang and Walter Mason have been engaged in digging 'ditches and other “light” jobs. Summer schoc* has claimed Julian Murrin, veteran end; Clarence ‘““Woozy” | Lewis, varsity tackle, and Ed Weber, a substitute back. At the conclusion of the six weeks’ term Lewis went on a prolonged fishing trip that will keep him in the open until the latter part of August. Glen Hamilton, fleet halfback, and Julian Scott, giant freshman tackle, have spent the summer in the oil fields of West Virginia and Kentucky. Both are in tiptop siape. Beryl Straight, senior guard, and Ed Ashburn have been working on the “old home farm.” Straight reports that he gets out and runs two or three miles every morning before breakfast, then puts in a regular day. “Big Sleepy” Glenn and brother-in-law, Ken Talbott, been painting in Elkins, newine and Ches been in charge of survey crews. Latham has been located in the mountains of North Carolina, while Jennewine has been tramp- ing over the hills of West Virginia. his have Fred Jen- Latham have The steel mills of Follansbee and Wheeling have claimeu “Swede” Hage- berg, 200-pound tackle candidate, and “Bus” Larue, promising graduate from the freshman squad Bill Robertson and Ed Vacherese have been working ten and eleven hours a day in lumber camps in southern West Virgin‘a, where Vacherese is also playing base- ball this summer. Clarence Keefer has spent a part ol George Hensley has been working on a pipe line near Huntington and as a result ihe claims that he is “harder” than ever. Jim Williams has been carry- ing hod for two workmen which has kept him “reasonably” busy, while an- other sophomore candidate, Earl Wolfe, ents, Billy Hallman and Lave Cross was dreaded by everybody. Even so, we put our fast, smart ball club against the hard-hitting Phillies, and they didn’t win a single ball game from us in two years. Kid Gleason will remember how he came to us as a pitcher who was sup- posed to have a bad arm, and we won fourteen consecutive games behind him. Of course, such an argument as this can never be settled, but I am not yet convinced that even a powerful slug- ging team like the Yanks could have overcome the smartness and ingenuity of a group of players like those old Orioles.

C. Davis, of Columbus. Ohio, 50 to 29. The defeat sent Duryee into a tie for second place with Frank Boat Club made a clean sweep of the regatta with the Old Domin- ion Boat Club of Alexandria this after- noon, winning all of the three events scheduled. The showing of the Alexandrians in the Junior squad contest was a keen disappointment to followers of the water sport. They were expected to qualify this crew for the intermediate race in the middle States regatta at Baltimore next month. The Richmond crew had already lost the junior gig race to the Old Dominions in the Southern Rowing Association regatta. Alexandria did not seriously threaten in any of the three races. The crews got off to fair starts and were evenly matched for the first half-mile in ecah event. But at the three-quarter post the Richmonders invariably led by & length, with each stroke widen- ing the margin. More than two lengths separated the winner from the loser in each race. Ross, Anderson, Kelly, Selden, Hibbs. Sirams, Richardson and Elam and Brock, coxswain, carried the colors of the local boat club to the front in the crowning event of the evening, the eight-oared shell. Their time was 5 minutes and 3 seconds. Alexandria was represented by Ross, Bales, Fried- lander, Gorman, Minor, Hulfish, Mar- shall, Pierpoint, Bell, coxswain. In the junior gig, Hibbs, Simms, Kelly and Elam and Brock, coxswain, emerged the victor in the time 5 min- utes 52 seconds. Marshall, Trout, Pierpoint and Ruffner represented the Alexandrians. The Junior quad event saw the great quartet of Joe Demotte, Haase, Cliff Green and Bedford: Green row their way to victory over Hulfish, Minor, Whitton and Bell of the visitors. The time was 6 minutes and 10 seconds. The Old Dominions had a long and difficult trip here. They traveled by bus, carrying the two four-oared shells on top. The long trip had its effect on the men who arrived several hours later than expected, thus losing any opportunity to rest up. BACH’S LAST WORK IS GIVEN PREMIERE “Art of the Fugue” Offered in Leipsic 177 Years After Composer’s Death. Berlin, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—It took almost two centuries before Johann Sebastian Bach’s last musical composition was performed for the first time. The hitherto forgotten work, entitled “The Art of the Fugue,” was given a premiere rendition 177 years after Bach’s death in St. Thomr>’ in Leipsic, where Bach for 27 years a. the organ and led the choir. Wolfgang Graeser, now 21, discovered the work five years ago. Bach investi- gators failed to notice that it was the piano score of something intended to be a monumental orchestral work. Graeser set to work to write an or- chestra score as he imagined Bach would have written it. The effect was overwhelming. Critics from all over Germany, who flocked to Leipsic, to attend the first-night, pronounce “The Art of Fugue” the greatest exposition of counterpoint ever written. Better Status Sought For Widows of China| Shanghai, China, Aug. 13 (A.P.).— Heretofore the widow in China, whether young or old, when she remarried, has been a “person of no dignity,” but the day appears to be arriving when such a condition no longer exists. The Nationalist government, through its woman’s organization, has decreed that such reference “must be cor- rected.” | Ruth Puts Up Price of Homers By AL DEMAREE. (Former Pitcher New York Giants.) Col. Jacob Ruppert, who owns the Yanks and pays their -alrries, may arrive at the conclusion that too much of a good thing is more than enough. if Lou Gehrig carries out his threat of topping Babe Ruth in the home run specialty, If Gehrig takes the vluggirg crown from Ruth, who has a $210,000 con- tract, it is reasonable to expect that he will demand a similar stipend, and the question then will be whether or not the gate will be sufficient oo cover. Vv the rivalry of Ruth and Gehrig draw more fans than Ruth’s lone spe- HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 13.— Haif a hundred candidates for the University of Virginia football team are expected to report when grid- iron practice begins on Monday, Sep- tember 5. Although this group will be about evenly divided between members of former varsity and first-year squads, only eight are expected to be men who won their varsity letters last season. Four backfield men and as many for the line are remaining from the sev- enteen who received the “V” at the close of the successful gridiron cam- paign last fall. Capt. Bickerton Cardwell and Bill Luke are the only veterans returning to the line, but “Dutch” Holland and John Benckenstein, substitute line- men, will add strength to the forward wall. Capt. Cardwell, Luke and Benck- enstein are tackles, while Holland is a guard. A capable quartet remains for work in the backfield. These men are Johnny Hushion and Quintus Hutter. veterans of two seasons, and Bledsoe Pinkerton and Sam Pendleton, halfbacks, who received the “V” for the first time a year ago. Wat Tyler, former varsity tackle, who did not play last season, is reentering the university to take up the study of medicine, but the long afternoons of laboratory work may prevent his be- coming a candidate for the eleven. To assist in the rebuilding of his varsity line Coach Earle Neale will be able to call on Walter Power, center; Vernon Austin and Bob DeButts, guards, and Tom Urnston, tackle, with Frank Meade, Joe Mercer, Dabney Penick, Jack McCaffrey and Henry Hof- heimer, ends. To fill in line positions the coach will be able to call upon Jim Ewing, Garland Daniel, Wirt Gammon and Joe Harrison, al] of whom saw service in Varsity contests last season. Three men who did not play a year ago but who are expected to be out this fall are Harry Flippin, end; Lefty Close, halfback, and George Taylor, center. This trio should add strength where it ts needed to Coach Neale’s squad, Much potential strength will come up from the 1926 first year team, but these men will have to be shaped by Coach Neale into the positions where they are most needed. His chief ef- forts will be concentrated upon build- ing up the line, for it is in the front line that the Virginians will probably be the weakest. Bird, Cooper, Dees, Dunn, Harriss, Anderson, Chapman, McCoy, Mount and Bowen played with the freshman eleven in the center line positions. Bird and Harriss will probably be tried as centers, while the others will be given a chance to show what they can do in . the two guard positions left vacant by Charlie Mackall and Joe Finck. wing For the positions there should be Turner, Stewart, Self and George, who will fight with former varsity substitutes for the right to fill the shoes of Sam Friedburg and Harold Ahner. It may be that Coach Neale will try to shift Tyler, Daniel, Taylor or one of the others out on the flanks. Behind the line the first year men expected tc report are Sloan, Faulconer, Clark, Moncure, Miller, Kaminer, Lewey, Holsinger, Marchant, and pos- sibly one or two others. Coach Neale hopes to find a fast backfield four to do relief duty alternating with the vet- eran varsity backs. As assistants Coach Neale will again have the services of John Kellison and Charlie Fenwick, while the trainers of the first year eleven will be Carter Diffey and Howard Holland. Fenwick, Holland and Diffey have all played football under the direction of the head coach. Eight of Virginia’s nine varsity games are to be played against South- ern Conference teams. The schedule follows: September 24—Hampden-Sidney at home. October 1—Georgia in Athens, Ga.: 8—South Carolina at home: 15—Viryinia Military In- stitute at home; 22— Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute at home; 29—Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn. November 5—W ashington and Lee in Lex- ington, \ 2—Maryland at home; 24— North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N. C. Playgrounds to Hold Junior Olympics Here In an effort to start national play- ground competition, fourteen repre- sentatives of playgrounds in various cities of the United States will arrive here tomorrow for the first junior Olympic games to be held throughout the week in the Central High School Stadium. Commissioner of Education John J. Tigert will award prizes to the winners on Saturday afternoon at the sta- dium. By means of a special scoring system, boys from 11 to 16 years of age, will be able to compete in the five events scheduled. Cups and medals will be awarded to the runners-up and two trips to the world series to the winners. Smith Will Attempt To Break Bike Record Milton A. .Smith, Washington boy, tomorrow will attempt to break the world’s record for continuous bicycle riding, official approval of Robert Con- nor, District’ representative of the Amateur Bicycle League, having been granted yesterday. In order to set a new mark, Smith must ride longer than 24 hours without getting off his bike. He plans to start at 9:15 p. m. He has been training for the event for some time and will be attended on tomorrow’s long grind by Owen Evans, long-distance golfer. | NATIONAL LEAGUE PITCHING RECORDS i or mere games,) Ww. L.

Chicago, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—It is ex- pected that arrivals of wheat in ae on Monday will prove large, 500 to 700 cars. This fact, together with predic- tions of cooler weather for the Da- kotas and Minnesota, led to lower prices for wheat today. Closing quotations on wheat were heavy, % to 1% cents met decline, with corn unchanged tw M% cent up, oats, 34.@% to % cents off, and provisions unchanged to 10 cents down. Declines in the price of wheat today were in the face of the fact that the grain up to this time has been moving out of Chicago nearly as fast as re- ceived. Furthermore, exporters today were again after cash wheat, and al- together 800,000 bushels from North America were said to have been bou ok for shipment to Europe. On the ot hand, prospective -lower temperatures in the Dakotas and Minnesota were construed as bearish, such conditions being likely to hinder black rust. An official summary of the black rust situation said considerable of the do- mestic spring wheat crop is now past the danger stage, but that there are sections where damages may still oc- cur. In late fields and along the Can- adian border, losses will depend upon the weather.

The report shows net profits of $2,006,235 for the half. ‘The Daily Metal Ti Trade says the fu- ture of the proposed pipe line from the Texas Panhandle to Colorado cities rests with the city councils of Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, which which have the power to grant or re- fuse distribution franchises. Soft coal _ operators oppose the project, saying it would impair the industry. The line would require 100,000 tons of pipe, a $22,000,000 order for Eastern steel mills « The Savage Arnts Co.’s report for the second quarter shows profit equal to $1.95 a share on 87,474 shares of com- 0 2 P| 65° 108 %8, 2037 00} {. deb. 5s, 1938. 1936 ID.

Mr. Davis, Secretary of Labor, sug- gested to 30,000 farmers in Illinois Thursday that money can not be ap- propriated by Congress for many im- portant necessities if taxes are reduced. He presented the case thus: There is great agitation because of the surplus of $635,000,000. In face of this there is talk of farm relief, for which the minimum amount needed will be $300,- 000,000. The flood relief fund for the Mississippi Valley, together with the Boulder Dam development, will require millions, and millions more will be needed to connect the oceans , with the Great Lakes. It is all right to talk about re- duced taxes, but not in view of such a program. Why Mr. Davis mentions Boulder Dam and the St. Lawrence waterway project as probable items of appropriation is- not clear. The States concerned in the Boulder Dam enterprise are not in agree- ment upon any point but one—that the Government, and not they, shall pay for building the dam. The rest of the coun- try will have something to say on that point if the seven States concerned should reach an agreement and present a tangible project. As for the St. Lawrence project, it has been held up by the Canadian government, with no pros- pect of an early treaty that would furnish the basis for appropriations. One large expenditure in prospect is not mentioned by Secretary Davis—the appropriation for naval increase. That is more certain than the proposed ap- propriations for farm relief or Mississippi Valley flood control. No doubt, flood re- lief appropriations will be made, but the amount will be comparatively small. No plan for flood control, however, has been evolved, and it now seems doubtful that a plan will be ready for the considera- tion of Congress next winter. The most. probable outcome of next session’s deliberations, apparently, is a farm relief measure that will not make heavy appropriations, liberal allotments for naval construction, a moderate sum for beginning Mississippi flood control work and reduction of taxation. A year ago President Coolidge sug- gested that tax reduction proposals should wait until the 1926 tax law could be tested by actual receipts. The result of the test is now known. A surplus of more than $600,000,000 has been piled up. That surplus is temptation to ex- travagance. Every effort will be made by interested parties to prove that their particular project is “necessary” and “vital.”’ The clash of these interests will be useful in killing off most of them, but there is always danger of a log-rolling combination between several blocs that will force extravagant measures through Congress. However, there-is in the White House a man who Kas no political ax to grind, and he stands ready to veto another McNary-Haugen grab. ‘The taxpayers of the United States are entitied to relief. They have paid euurmous sums toward reduction of the public debt, and are now paying $600,- 000,000 more than the Government needs. The Republican party will be deserving of defeat if it does not reduce unneces- “sary taxes. TAKING UP LIBERTY BONDS. - In what manner will the Treasury De- _ partment raise the money with‘ which to retire the Second Liberty bonds that have - been called for redemption in November? _ Some months ago the department ‘adver- _ tised extensively a proposal for exchange «for securities bearing a somewhat lower - rate of interest than those that are to he ¢ srupleed. but the neeponse of ™ holders of of these securities outstanding, most of which are held by banks and trust com- panies. As interest will cease on the Liberty bonds in November it is certain that some other equally attractive investment must be offered, for even if the Treasury were prepared to take up the entire issue with gold coin, the holding corporations must make their funds earn interest. In an address delivered recently before the Institute of Public Affairs at Char- lottesville, Va., Ogden L. Mills, Under- secretary of the Treasury, said that there would be offered a new issue of short- term notes to provide funds for retiring the Liberty bonds. But this would mean only a temporary expedient, and while there is little doubt that the offering by the Government of such short-time secur- ities would be promptly taken, very largely, no doubt, by the present owners of Liberty bonds, it is likely ‘that’ the Treasury will announce a new bond issue. In fact, the Bureau of Engraving is pre- paring for such a new issue, and its presses are turning out new bonds by the thousand every day. These will doubt- less be offered before November 15, but the rate of interest they will carry has not been announced. However, the Treas- ury bonds of 1943-47, which bear interest at 33% per cent, were quoted at one- quarter of 1 per cent above par in New York last week, which is a fair indica- tion that United States bonds are at- tractive to investors, even though the returns be low. GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA. The British and Indian governments are apprehensive of war with the Rus- sian Soviet, and are preparing. to strengthen the forces along the north- west frontier of India. The Russians are said to have concentrated forces in Tur- kestan and Bokhara, and are developing rail facilities that will enable them to handle troops on a large scale. They have heavily fortified places on the Oxus River. The natural field of battle between Russia and-England would be Afghanis- tan. Russian communists have been in- cessantly at work in that country, trying to win over the Ameer. British agents have done the best they could to counter- |: act the communist propaganda. The Ameer is playing one side against the other, in the hope that his country will not become another Belgium. According to reports from London, British defense plans are developing on a grand scale, having in view nothing less than the transfer of the major forces of the empire to India, where they are to be directed by the war office and not by the Viceroy. These plans would not be materialized unless the British govern- ment were convinced of the danger of a struggle for control of India. The British intelligence service is the most efficient in the world. Apparently it has gathered sufficient accurate information to war- rant the government in making costly military moves. War between Russia and Britain would be one of the most uncertain of human adventures. No one can possibly fore- tell where lightning would strike. Com- munist intrigue has wormed itself into all parts of the world, but what effect this intrigue would have in knockdown warfare is indeterminable. It is gen- erally assumed that communist agitators make more enemies than friends, and that their extreme doctrines take little hold upon nations that are fairly pros- perous and fairly well governed. The communists do, however, succeed in lighting bonfires here and there which are very difficult to stamp out. They are strong in England itself. If the Soviet is expecting war, as its leaders repeatedly assert, it is no doubt counting upon the radical labor elements in England to organize strikes in an effort to paralyze the nation’s war operations. When the test comes, however, British labor will be loyal to the government, if experience is any index. In some quarters it is suspected that Britain’s immovable stand at Geneva was inspired by the knowledge of forthcom- ing war. The idea would seem far- fetched if Britain and Russia alone were concerned, as a whale can not well make war with an elephant; but a Russo-Brit- war. It is not well supplied with the sinews of war, but it has an abundance of men, many of them well trained, and it has been busy building airplanes. It could make dangerous war for a while; and then, if beaten back, it could retire with little fear of invasion, lick its paws, and bide its time. | - MUST NOT HAVE OPINIONS. James C. Waddell, who resigned. re- cently from the division of prohibition enforcement, says, as the result of his experience, that authorization of 2.75 per cent beer is necessary to enforcement of the Volstead act. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Antisaloon League, is quick to reply, and insists that any change in the alcoholic content of beer would develop the appetite of the country for the strongest liquors. .-He blames Canadian change of sentiment toward prohibition upon the tendency of the provinces to experiment first with beer. One new and entirely novel theory is advanced by Mr. Wheeler. ‘“‘The mere fact that there is a difference of opinion on the intoxicating qualities of such beer,” says the dry leader, “‘is the strong- est reason why there should be no change in the law.” This is a form of logic ex- tremely hard to follow. It implies una- nimity of action and belief before there can be any change in the existing law. The eighteenth amendment was not adopted without opposition. Had the rule of unanimity, which Mr. Wheeler now invokes, been operative, the amend- ment and the Volstead act would still be theories instead of fact. It would be interesting to have a de- velopment of the thought suggested by the dry crusader. It is difficult to deter- mine from the one sentence whether he proposes to substitute government by unanimous consent for the accepted form or intends to imply that the Antisaloon League shall have the power of veto in such matters. If there is no hidden meaning in his statement it would, of course, be idle for Congress ever to meet again. more than once in a decade in order to dispose of matters on which there is no | Since this can not | difference of opinion. happen, what will Mr. Wheeler say rela- tive to such amendments to the Volstead act as may be sought by his league in the near future? Will he be willing to aban- don all those to which there is any oppo- sition or on which there is any difference of opinion? “The strongest reason why there should be no change in the law,” if it is taken literally, ought to apply to the Antisaloon League as well as to its op- ponents. POE’S CRITICISMS. The acerbity of literary criticism in the early part of the nineteenth century is so well known as to need no demonstra- tion. Outstanding stock examples are the excoriation:given: to Byron’s “Hours |. of Idleness” and to Wordsworth’s “Ex- cursion” in the Edinburgh Review. Jef- irey’s impudent “This will never do,” which is the opening sentence in his dia- tribe on the “Excursion,” will always stand as a horrible example of cocksure- ness in the erroneous estimate of ¢ great work. | The tradition of savagery in attack continued much later than is generally realized. Macaulay’s long abusive tirade on Montgomery is a case in point. Even Poe, who had undoubtedly great critical gifts, combined with a certain deep and extremely uncommon philosophy of lit- erature which permeates his pronounce- ments and gives them weight and force, is not entirely free from reproach on the score of unkindliness. His review of Lever’s “Charles O’Malley” illustrates very clearly his good and bad critical qualities. The canons he promulgates are for the most part unexceptionable; | but what is one to -think.of. his assevera- tion, dogmatically made, that the popu- larity of a book is, per se, sound evidence of that book’s demerit ?. t great work will then escape? ‘Charles O’Malley” is not, perhaps, a great work, but, in its own day and since, it has pro- voked the heartiest laughter from mil- lions of readers, and surely a book that can do that must have some merit. Poe, however, thinks it ‘‘mere balderdash,” stigmatizes the “disgusting vulgarism ‘a thought ~whick pervades and con ish war would probably extend to other is v] . countries, and certainly to regions where the British navy would be badly needed. Communists have been industrjously try- ing to stir up Egypt, for exampje.

When he accuses Thomas Buchanan Read of being “but a copyist of Longfellow—that is to say, but an echo of an echo,” he is de- liberately seeking to kill two birds with one stone. His opinion of the “North American Review Clique” of his own time is tersely expressed when he recom- mends to that publication the adoption of the following motto from Sterne: “As we rode along the valley we saw a herd of asses on the top of one of the moun- tains — how they viewed and_ *re- viewed us!” When Poe finds Emerson “little more than a respectful imitation of Carlyle,” when he says of Curran, “I can find nothing more distressing than the extent of his eloquence;” and when he writes of “The Mysteries of Paris” that it is a “naradox of childish folly and consum- mate skill,” one sees how far astray even a gifted litterateur may be carried by prejudice. He can make a joke against himself, as when he says: “I have great faith in fools—self-confidence my friends will call it;” but, despite all his divaga- tions, it is plain that he knows his metier, and one can never say of him what he himself said of certain American critics: “Alas! how many American critics neglect the happy suggestion of M. Timon—que Je ministre’ de |l’instruction publique doit lui-meme savoir parler francais.” The “Marginalia” certainly provide in- | structive as well as amusing reading and, whether one agrees or disagrees with the views put forward, these essaylets will be found to be great stimulants of thought. THE IRISH FREE STATE. The entrance of Eamon de Valera and the other members of the Fianna Fail party into the Dail Eireann, on compli- ance with the condition precedent of tak- ing the oath of fealty to King George V, was deliberately planned to effect a com- plete change in the aspect of the political situation in the Irish Free State. Their decision to abandon their attitude of ) s | aloofness from the Dail is tantamount to a coup d’etat. That decision appears lly | to have been suddenly taken; yet it may acted | not have been quite so sudden as it looks. - pay — hastened, - actually vt ' if | * . + » : , 7 al a Na A ‘ v 4 he 5 H é bee . a . ie, és * s $ > Se a " { 4 - i ; . f re te Pa ’ [ powers in dealing with disturbers of law and order. fact that one of its clauses provides the death penalty for any. person found car- rying or possessing arms without author- ization. A measure like that could easily be so worked by the administration as to destroy the republican party. The Fian- na Fail members doubtless considered that it would be wiser, more politic, and more likely to be successful to oppose the application of the bill, or propose its repeal, from the floor of the Dail, than | to stand impotently outside and either let it take its way unchecked or else resist it by force. The latter alternative would, of course, mean a renewal of the civil -war’which a few years ago proved so disastrous, and from which all sides | now seem instinctively to shrink. - It must be remembered that in a small legislative body lige the Dail Eireann, with a total membership of 153, a solid phalanx of 45 votes is an extremely pow- erful factor. Used in combination with other parties, such as labor and the na- tional league, Fianna Fail can influence materially both the making of laws and their execution. So used, it has the power to put the present administration ‘in a minority and force an issue of no confidence. The crucial division, which will decide what party, or combination of parties, shall rule the Irish Free State in the immediate future, is set for Tues- day next, and is awaited with absorbing interest. The abandonment of the doctrinaire, intransigeant, and non possumus attitude hitherto adopted by Fianna Fail was made at a psychological moment, and is undoubtedly an astute move, but its ultimate success will depend largely on the statesmanship and the capacity for government in time of peace that Mr. De Valera and his supporters and new allies will show. The situation in the Irish Free State for some time to come will . probably be ticklish and uncertain enough, but, whatever the immediate outcome may be, it can readily be seen that, on broad grounds, it is sound policy to have the members of Dail Eireann as- sembled in full force. As long as Fianna Fail abstained from taking part in legis- lative and governmental proceedings, a | large portion of the Free State was prac- tically disfranchised, and that is an un- natural and even dangerous condition. ea eS legitimately be said that the entary, government set up by the ate Parlia- | Hiberno-English treaty is now, in reality bill, whick ieee for the first time, on trial in the Irish dinary ' Free State. resent is ie i The drastic nature of | upset after upset, that measure may be inferred from the | flurry was all but over. and there may be but eventually the friction of mind upon mind and the free- dom of intercourse may be expected to develop new points of view, to form new alignments, and to insure a stable gov- ernment, which will aid “Southern” Ire- land to shape its destiny along proper ‘legislative and economic lines. Such a government would appear to be the cry- ing need of the hour in the Irish Free State. none too hopeful, THE FLURRY IN STOCKS. Stock exchange conditions such as those of Friday are disastrous to the speculative element, but are noticed by the country generally only because the market news moves from the financial section to the first page. The more solid stocks made up their losses, and Wall street faced the week-end in a more cheerful frame of mind. The market actually was never anything but the vic- tim of its own confusion. Officials of the companies whose stocks were most violently affected say that they know of no reason for the violent fluctuations except stock manipulation, The fact that these specialty issues re covered the major portion of the losseg they suffered in the day’s trading is evi. dence that traders thought them a good buy at their lowest prices. The bargain seekers found plenty of opportunity to pick up securities for investment. Upon reflection, students of the stock exchange discovered that only the specu- lative element ‘suffered.

Mining Engineer for China When 24—Great World War Food Problems Unerringly Performed. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: What a man he is! The life of Herbert Hoover reads like a tale of magic. Al- ready has this country boy from Iowa Been sent to do tasks that no King or potentate could have done in the same time, and single-handed. When in 1920 President Emeritus Da- vid Starr Jordan was asked, “Would Herbert Hoover make a good President of the United States?” his reply was, “There is no doubt whatever that Her- bert Hoover would make a good Presi- dent. Not only is he the only man who ean save Europe from ruin, but I be- lieve he can save America from great calamities. All the people who are in- telligent enough to deserve to be citi- zens Ought to know that he will do his absolute best, regardless of party ques- tions.” What would be“Herbert Hoover's “ab- solute best?” Why is Herbert Hoovers best superior to the best that others can give to the service of America and the world? ; In the first place, he was predisposed to give his life in service because of having had the paramount advantage of a long line of hard-working, unsel- fish, intelligent and God-fearing an- cestors. Added to this his natural abil- ity aided by a splendid education, to- gether with painstaking thoroughness, has made him a power in whatever he has undertaken. When he was graduated from Leland Stanford University at the age of 20, not only was he one of the best trained mining engineers of the whole world, but he had distinguished himself as a leader of men in college—a man who could, and did, inspire others to do their best. When three years later a mining firm in England asked the unl- versity to send its most capable grad- uate to serve it as overseer of its mines in Australia Herbert Hoover was chosen to take up a task where almost super- human tact and judgment were re- quired, and in which all predecessors had failed. As evidencing his unsel- fishness it might be stated that at this time he was backing seven students at the Stanford University. At the ace of 24 Mr. Hoover was sent by his London firm, at the request of the Chinese government, to serve the *«-welestial empire as m‘ “ag engineer, at a stlary of $10,000 per year. During his second year in China the * Boxer Rebellion broke out, and here during the siege of Tientsin Herbert Hoover, ably assisted by his worthy wife (a graduate of Leland Stanford University, and a geologist and autho- ress), did his first “feeding of the mul- tituce.” Before the Boxer uprising Mr. Hoover had put a staff at work collecting, translating and summarizing all that had been written in all languages on the subject of Chinese mines. He also had a large group of trained geologists, surveyors and assayers working under his supervision, and had collected ex- tensive data regarding the cost of building the railroads, and in getting bids on the millions of dollars’ worth of machinery he must procure for the reconstruction of the mines. The Boxer outbreak made it impos- sible for the Chinese empire to carry out his plans, and defeat seemed in- evitable. However, so great was the confidence in his integrity and judg- ment that he was delegated to return to England and work out a way to de- velop the mineral resources of China with foreign capital. This he succeeded in doing, and returned to China long enough to see “the old mines leap into lif>, American methods and machinery installed, tunnels driven, railway tracks laid and coal pouring from the earth in train loads” as has been stated by his biographers. But a great sorrow came ‘to him at this time—the foreign capl- talists refused to transfer their offices to China as was demanded by the Chinese government, and so Mr. Hoover returned to England. Two years later, at the age of 29, he had amassed a fortune sufficient to warrant him in forming his own com- pany, but now a new and greater test came to him. Soon after leaving China he had been made junior partner of the old firm that sought him out in California and sent him to Australia five years before. A member of this firm, loved and trusted by all, confess- ed to having embezzled $700,000 of the firm’s money. »* ®What should Herbert Hoover, as the acting head of the firm at this time, do? Should he make good the whole amount of this defalcation, or should he save what the law would allow? Do all men have their price? Thank God, no, and Herbert Hoover was one of * ~~ “I'm signing up an agreement . with myself to usé all the Black and | “White Beauty Creations,” says love- ~ ly Miss Madeline Vohringer, 153-16 - 123rd Ave., Baisley Park, Jamaica, )“@ong Island, “now I know their | wonderful quality through using ) the delightful Black and White ) Gleansing Cream.

Hw wife stood kt. him nobly in giving up their all, including their home, in order to make partial restitu- tion of the amount fraudulently taken by another. Eight years of supreme ef- fort sufficed to again put the firm upon a sure footing, and to so retrieve his own fortune that he was enabled to carry Out his plan of becoming a free man. Already he had become known the world over, both in financial and mining circles. When the war broke out’in 1914 Her- bert Hoover’s interests were in all parts of the world. Stockholders of every nation were in his companies. “His wide interest-weaving affairs were part of the whole web of international credits that make modern civilization possible.” Everywhere he had been de- veloping new mines and adding new wealth to the nations of the earth. Everywhere he was trusted for his in- tegrity. Everywhere he had friends who would make great sacrifices to help humanity at his suggestion. In spite of the fact that he was car- rying a tremendous load upon his shoulders, when. every nerve was strained to keep thousands at work and to protect his own interests, he was drafted to “put over” tasks which must be accomplished (and in many cases must be performed by him personally, because he was the only man in the world who could do them) at once, and without any red tape. First he raised $200,000 ($50,000 of which he personally forwarded) and superintended the work of getting 100,000 Americans across the ocean, out of harm’s way. Only a whisper of what this wonderful man has done has ever been told to the American people. Herbert Hoover’s response to the call of starving Belgium was only a begin- ning of the service he was able to ren- der. A man had arisen who, because of his standing and leadership, fed whole nations and swayed the fortunes of the world. LENORA H. JONES. Washington, D. C. Deport Anarchist Aliens. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: I note in the daily papers that the Sec- retary of Labor intimates there may be @ sudden and extensive course of de- portation entered upon to rid the coun- try of anarchists and others who are stirring up trouble, encouraging oppo- sition to the Government and teaching doctrines inimical to our institutions. It would have been well for us as a Nation had this course of deportation been begun ten years ago. Our immi- gration laws have always been too lenient. We began the nationalizing business with the theory that this should be a “land for the oppressed of all nations.” Perhaps that might have been a safe doctrine in those early days, before communism, sovietism and an- archism had grown to such giant strength in the older countries, but it is not a safe doctrine in these modern times. No American ever had greater sym- pathy with the people of despotic gov- ernments than had Mr. Jefferson. With all his sympathy for them, he Very early advocated what we might call “closed doors” in the matter of admit- ting emigrants from Europe. He de- clared it would be better for the United States to make a slow growth through the natural increase of those then here than by opening our doors to the dregs of Europe. What we see now in our country establishes his fame as a gen- uine, far-seeing prophet. Instead of even partly shutting our doors we left them wide open for many years. It is true that during those earlier years we received many thousand desirable citi- zens, but of late we have been flooded with soviets, communists, socialists and anarchists. They have been very industrious in spreading their doctrines. Socialism found many willing recruits, a majority of the recruits not dreaming that so- cilalism would lead.to communism, and then anarchism. We have been ex- ceedingly derelict in not putting a quietus on their teachings. We have gone tu sleep, holding to our mental souls the doctrine that .we must not inferfere with the freedom of speech or press. Men have openly in many of our cities preached doctrines that in England would have sent them to prison or to a penal settlement. Pa- pers have openly taught the same dan- gerous doctrines, and we have not in- terfered. Books, pamphlets and leaf- lets have been circulated by the thou- sands, all tending toward weaning the people away from orderly government. In some places bombs have been used to enforce their theories. Our Govern- ment has apparently forgotten the Haymarket riot in Chicago, with its long list of killed, all in the interest of and to further the teachings of social- ism. In Indianapolis and San Fran- cisco dynamite has been used to the same end. It is true that some of the Offenders have been caught and pun- ished, but no steps taken to prevent other occurrences of the kind. Every year for the last two decades has seen a flood of soviets, socialists and an- archists reaching our shores and per- mitted to land and without interfer- ence of any kind to begin their work of incitation to violence. There is but one road to safety for us, and that is to gather up all teach- ers, all propagandists of such doctrines and send them out of the country. Our authorities must use the mailed hand if we are to still have a govern- ment. Forbearance in this matter is no longer tolerable. Short shrift should be measured out to anarchists. A. T. LAMONT. Let Justice Be Done. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: It is regrettable that the executive of a labor organization should have ex- pressed publicly at this late date the view that there was great doubt of the guilt of Sacco and Vanzetti. This question has been lawfully ad- judicated in the proper tribunals. Should not this settle the question of guilt? The writer is sorry the accused have been unable to create that reason- able doubt which the Massachusetts courts insist upon, but since they have failed, should we now complain if the law takes its course to the end? If this seems a cold-blooded way of disposing of such matters, let us ask Ourselves if it is not after all the a the patriotic way of looking at i The time to object outside of courts having thus passed, we may at least reflect that now after seven years the courts of Massachusetts should be able to deal with all questions involved with that judicial calm which should improve with age. So that now the more practical question is, what shall be done with those radicals who seek with dynamite to force their views upon the great majority? Uncle Sam is tolerant to a fault, and yet it may be said that in allowing certain dangerous characters to remain here and enjoy the protec- tion of his laws, Uncle Sam is setting all an example of law and order. Instead of acting beforehand against. such aracters he even waits until they have dynamited their protests against society. So Uncle Sam shows that he would rather err, rather than innocent persons lose their lives thro dynamiting, than that he | sho seem to do injustice even to a lawless dynamiter. Therefore, when Uncle Sam does act | through his courts, it is in a manner lawful and orderly and even a Red must admit that he thus receives from Uncle Sam more than he gives. _ OM Havre de Grace; Md., August 9, ST) _ ; pws 4 uc ; rn sient!’ ~« ‘ Lieut. Williamson’s Case. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Re- ferring to the recent editorial which appeared in The Post in regard to Lieut. T. B. Williamson, I have to inform you that the statements made in the editorial did a great deal of in- justice to this officer and created an erroneous impression. The facts in the case are as follows: As soon as information was received by the Navy Department of the inci- dent in question, inquiry was made by the Bureau of Aeronautics as to what Navy planes were in the air in this vicinity at that @me. The records of the Naval Air Station, Anacostia, showed that a Navy plane had Ieft Ana- costia shortly before the incident oc- curred. A telegram was sent by the department to the commanding officer of the organization to which this plane was attached, directing an investigation and report. These steps were all taken by the department on the morning after the incident occurred. Lieut. Williamson’s first knowledge that his action had aroused criticism was doubtless obtained upon the re- ceipt of the telegram ordering the in- vestigation, so that this officer should not be charged with concealment or deception. The facts in the case will be brought out in the general. court- martial, and doubtless it will be shown that the facts as stated above are cor- rect. I feel sure that The Post will be only too willing and ready to correct any unintentional injustice on its part toward this young officer. W. A. MOFFETT, Rear Admiral, U. S. N. Chief Bureau of Aeronautics. A Day Rate for Discounts To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Fed- eral Reserve discounting is limited by law to day discounts. The Reserve banks for the Boston, New York, Kansas City, St. Louls and Cleveland Districts have just announced a discount rate of 3% per cent, which is a reduction from 4 per cent, the previous rate. But this rate is an annual rate. Day discounts me for a day rate—not for a yearly rate. The rate of 3.65 per cent is the median rate between 344 and 4 per cent, which represents the normal lim- its of variation in the Reserve dis- count rates. The rate of 3.65 per cent is one cent on $100 a day. ‘This is desirable and acceptable day rate. Re- serve discounts should be stabilized on this basis. This day rate produces the practical rule: Multiply the dollars by the days and point off four decimal places to get the discount or the in- terest in any case. For example, 3,000 multiplied by 60 equals 180,000, which, pointed off to the fourth place, produces $18 as the discount or interest on $3,- 000 for 60 days. There can be no sound objection to fixing the rediscount rate at 3.65. It is a fair rate. Legitimate business demand for discounts and not changes in the discount rate ought to govern the vol- ume of current mercantile discounts. The Federal Reserve discount service is primarily for the benefit of the mem- ber or stockholding banks, which are also the discounting banks. It is these banks which benefit by a low rate and which also have the profits of a high rate. So the rate itself makes no dif- ference to the member banks except as it affects the volume of business. And a normal steady rate is best for business in the long run. SAMUEL RUSSELL. Taxes On Real Estate. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: We solicit your good offices in calling at- tention to the excessive assessment for taxes being piaced on local real estate. The future welfare of Washington de- mands that concerted action be taken to remedy the present serious condition as to assessments. That the present Board of Equalization has gone tax mad is evidenced by the following: In 1925 we purchased residence known as 1414 Sixteenth street at a cost of $27,500. The property was then taxed at $27,280. For over two years we have been unable to secure a tenant due to a number of vacant properties Similarly situated. Under date of Au- gust 1 we received notice that the tax on this property has been increased to $35,728. We will gladly accept $30,000 for this property. We could cite a number of similar instances where the tax rate practically amounts to con- fiscation. Chief Justice Marshall’s dictum that the “Power to tax is the power to de- stroy” is clearly illustrated in this in- stance. The excessive local taxation is one of the chief causes of excessive rentals, and our local merchants are now staggering under a terrible burden. Unless this condition is corrected, we are likely to develop a situation in Washington which will rival the present situation in many towns in Florida. JOHN R. WALLER.

~ THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 1927. et me ee ——s the new alterations, there was, and is, without doubt, much of interest, bear- ing out the old adage that romance never dies in the attics of houses lived in for generations. The first Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had a part of the attic cleared and remodeled into a studio. There she used to paint, although after her illness she was not able to make the difficult climb aloft, which has now been solved by the ex- tension of the elevator shaft. The White House family uses the south portico constantly. Therefore the one which is now a roof garden directly over the ones which open out of the blue room on the state floor and the blue oval drawing room on the second and private floor will be a source of keen delight and the scene of many little tea parties. Everybody is awaiting word as to when the President and Mrs. Coolidge will return to the White House, which will be by that time in a perfect state of repair and ready for the inspection of the fortunate ones who will be in- vited by Mrs. Coolidge for a cup of tea or by the President and Mrs. Coolidge for a private breakfast conference or for dinner with the Executive and his wife. Since the new arrangement of the White House gives more guest rooms it is expected that the list of White House guests will be expanded, not only for this administration, but in administra- tions to come. The additional rooms will relieve Presidents of embarrassment. In the past the Presidents with large families found difficulty in living in the space allotted in the White House and to en- tertain guests as well. Shortly after the return of President and Mrs. Coolidge the announcement of the schedule of official functions at the White House this winter will, without doubt, be forthcoming. Then the of- ficial and resident hostesses will be able to make their own social programs for the year. Since President and Mrs. Coolidge have established a custom of having the White House evening receptions end early, the hostesses who heretofore have kept these nights open, plan for “after the White House reception sup- pers” and dances. They need not even interfere with a debutante ball, in fact, the debutante can be presented with her dinner guests and then return to her own dance, giving her formal bow to society an official flavor and an im- portance in her memory. August is the month when there is less happening socially in the cities than at any other time in the year. ost of the society news is from the y resorts such as Newport, Bar Harbor aikd.other places on the North Shore. The,Mot Springs in Virginia; Buena Vista in the Blue Ridge of Pennsyl- vania; Atlantic City and various parts of Long Island also attract many from Washington. Then those who prefer to go abroad find the month a very pop- ular one in which to enjoy the gayeties of Europe. Those who are obliged to remain in town all through the year, if they take any vacation at all, are apt to choose August, when one feels most the need of change and recreation. This is when most of the activities are planned for the sojourners at the resorts, making the hotels more in demand than earlier or later in the season. Likewise, those who are fortunate enough to have their own homes take this time, when they have so many attractions to offer, to tempt their friends to visit them. Saratoga is very gay just now with unmerous visitors from the East and the West and many from the District. The races are in full swing and devo- tees of this sport arrive from country or seashore, glad of the change. It is also quite an opportunity to meet one’s friends from different parts of the United States. Many enthusiasts who own racing horses wait also for this season to add to their stables, as Sara- toga always has a large choice of horses to attract any who may wish to buy. Among Washingtonians who have been there this season are the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Ogden L. Mills, Senator and Mrs Claude A. Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. William F. R. Hitt, Mrs. Blaine Elkins, Rear Ad- miral':and Mrs. Cary Grayson, Mr. Wal- ter H. Rufenacht, of the Swiss Legation; Mrs. George Mesta and Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Barklie, who pass some of their time here. The Ambassador of Japan, Mr. Tsuneo Matsudaira, who joined his family at Englewood, N. J., .several days ago, will remain there until September. ha The Minister of Costa Rica, Senor _@von J. Rafael Oreamuno, is expected to return today or tomorrow. The Minister of Panama and Senora de Alfaro, who have been passing the summer at Monterey, Pa., will return to town the end of September.

A Deposit Reserves Your Selection CAPITOL FUR SHOP 1208 G Street Our Only Store of Quality and Workmanship of the Highest Order is Attract- Nearly 30 women’s organizations have now established national headquarters in Washington. This fact makes the trend of woman thought in this Capital most significant and bears on the whole attitude of womankind throughtout the Nation. The women of organizations with nation-wide and international . affilia- tions have been quick to seize upon Washington’s advantages for their work. The move on Washington by women’s clubs has one advantage in that it almost automatically makes an activity national in aspect and spirit. The District of Columbia Daughters of the American Revolution have been making an annual contribution in money from each chapter for the work on Ellis Island, and this year -ighteen boxes filled with materials for needle work of all kinds as well as dresses for women and children detained at Ellis Island were sent to them. Mrs. Vernon West, of Chevy Chase, is in charge of this work for the District. Another activity among District Daughters has been that of Mrs. A. Y. Casanova, who has been most active in collecting old wills and deeds for the genealogical résearch committee of the organization. Ten valuable wills were secured this year through this means. District D. A. R. are greatly interested in the flag lessons being gotten out by the national committee on the correct use of the flag, which has been func- tioning for some years to cultivate proper respect and observance of the American flag and which led all other groups in this work. In a recent report the national chairman of the commit- tee, Mrs. Charles Brand, wife of Rep- resentative Brand, of Ohio, pointed out the following préssing problems in re- gard to the correct use of the flag.

ITH the approach of Indian sum- mer comes the question of sult- able clothes for Indian summer days which are treacherous and range quickly from chill to warm. The search is for something in which @ woman can feel cool, but look smart at the same time. In this emergency semisheer silk crepe will be found an admirable medium or one of the novelty wools which are not heavy in weight and yet give the required weight for chill au- tumn night and early morning tramps through the painted woods. Then, too, are the wool crepes im- partial as to season. Frocks made of this attractive material invariably make a smart appearance when cut and color are suited to the occasion and the wearer. Frequently when a two-piece model is chosen, the color schemes of two or more ensembles can be planned to be interchangeable with it. When accom- panied by hat, coat and accessories of harmonizing colors, they make a happy foundation for the costumes of a week- end or longer visit. A bolero frock for afternoon wear also will carry out the two-tone color scheme, and is simple to make. In the early colonial days Betsy Ross demonstrated to the founders of the Nation how to fold a piece of cloth and with one clip of the scissors evolve a perfect five-point star. The modern woman has followed the example of Betsy Ross and in the sewing rooms, beudoirs and even after dinner in the drawing rooms there is a merry snip- ping of scissors on chiffon, satin and silk and velvet and the clever making of little petals and long drooping ones for the shoulder and hip flowers, which form an important part of the cos- tumes for all hours of the day. New Nation-Wide Occupation. The’ ragged edges of the artistic new flowers which are used not only on the bows but on hats and often form whole collars of evening wraps have started a new nation-wide occupation for wom- en which is as alluring as those of the days when romances were written about the pretty girl or woman at her spin- ning wheel. Some times whole sofa pillows are made of these bits of brilliant colored soft fabrics, fashioned by the hands of women. In fact, the making of these flowers has, for a time at least, elbowed knit- ting and embroidery to one side. At many bridge parties or afternoon teas or in groups listening to special radio programs the busy fingers of the guests make long drooping conventional flow- ers. As the vogue for making these flowers has evolved some fascinating little bags out of brocade, gold or silver lame or of chiffon and velvet and lace interlined. Side by side with the flower vogue is the revival of the sampler as a dec- oration for bedroom walls. With their adorable designs and verses copied from museum originals they are trutly fasci- nating. ; Furs to Be Popular. No matter what may be the outcome of the battle going on now between the advocates of the bobbed and the long-haired, the short-haired variety will be the smartest in furs. Several of the debutantes and a num- ber of the brides of the fall who are “so excited” over the new clothes they are acquiring for the great events write back that furs as soft and sleek as velvet will enhance their costumes for every hour of the day, even for sport and evening wear. These furs include broadtail, shaved lamb, unborn calf, beaver and any number of other furs, which have been made by fashion’s science into short- haired or, at least, closely brushed- down aspect. Of course, for collars for dressy coats and evening wraps the fluffy type of fur will be used. Lovely woman knows that she is at her most fascinating when her evening coat has some kind of softening-effect collar. The vogue of last winter to have the collars of evening wraps made of the material of the goods in shapes of roses, fluffy pompons, &c., will endure this year again. Ornaments Are Popular. The handsome single ornament, not necessarily a precious jewel, will “make” the costume, especially for daytime in the fall. A plain black satin dress cut in the latest vogue, but without embellish- ment, will have character and chic be- cause of the glitter of small jewels or even large pins and buckles to fasten the omnipresent belt or hold a clever drapery in place. One of the favorite ways of using these ornaments on dressy evening and afternoon gowns is to catch the front drapery with them, a la Cleopatra. Some of the prettiest of the chiffon evening gowns are made perfectly plain except for the brilliant and handsome clasps which hold the shoulder seams or jeweled shoulder straps with per- haps a matching pin to hold the drap- ery of the skirt. | In the plainest of the velvet chiffon and satin gowns one sees a decided leaning toward the Moyen Age. Of course, this, like all modern revivals of old styles, is subtle and takes an artist, or at least one with fine dis- crimination, against overdoing to de- velop. Some of the problems about the fashionable sleeve were settled when the Moyen Age tendency was adopted. Now there is only the long tight sleeve fitting closely well over the hand to be considered. For those who do not choose this variety of costume, how- ever, the choice of sleeves is wide and puzzling. Mrs. Stanley Washburn, who came from New York for a few days last / MR. AN week, was seen in a dress of soft black satin. Her hat was a plain black satin one. Miss Elizabeth Edwards, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Edward I.

Have Military Air. The martial note seems to be still a paramount favorite with the designers of suits. The new fall ones, when they are not of the strictly tailored variety, are suggestive of the natty blouse coats of the Navy officers or the old-time zouave coat. There is also a great tendency toward a revival of a modi- fied sailor-collar blouse, such as is worn by our bluejackets. Recently Mme. Andre Dubonnet, one of the best known and _ wealthiest young matrons in France, wore, accord- ing to letters from the French capital, a sports costume of blue material. The short skirt was wrapped around and draped at the hip and attached to a closely fitted white sleeveless blouse. Over this was worn a short ‘jacket of the bolero type with a decided zouave tendency, outlined in braid, with short sleeves cuffed in white. Braid and buttons altogether seem to be one of the newest methods of re- lieving the untrimmed effect of many of the new suits. These two embel- lishments often appear in perfect ac- cord with rich furs on.some of the new coats and wraps and, incidentally, on fur ones. With the entrance of velvet into the field of filmy and transparent fabrics and with the introduction of the new chiffon georgette velvet it is not to be wondered at that brocades and metal cloth and gold and silver lame will not be outdone in the forefront of fashion. Some of these materials have taken to themselves an airiness which does not detract from their elegance and lends itself most kindly to the fulled and draped effect and hanging ends of the new gowns. The artist and the amateur dress- maker of this season does not have to contend with the difficulty of getting the skirt to hang evenly all the way around. In the realm of the evening gown and dressy costume, at least, the skirts are, as @ rule, short in front, dipping down in back and laced elab- orately. Those that do not show this trait have an uneven hemline, achieved by hanging cascade panels or inset godets, ‘The skirts are short, it is true, but an OUR STANDARD— ‘THE BEST IN EVERYTHING” | The Famous.

BACK TO LIFE AGAIN The story of America is by no means, Written alone in the cold form of | dollars and still more dollars. We have produced notable figures in the world of literature and art as well. Therefore “John Sargent,” by Evan Charteris (Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York), comes with timeliness to point | Out incidents in the life of this master | painter, one of the representative men | of his time. | Colorful, indeed, was the life of this | Man whose enduring work is one of! the glories of American art. In the two years which have elapsed since | his death, his fame had only grown the brighter and fortunate possessors of his paintings have learned to) cherish them all the more since the brush has dropped from his nerveless fingers and Art echoes the plaint over Lincoln, “‘Now he belongs to the ages.” Two unusual features are to be found in the book. One is the almost com- plete catalogue of his works in oll, prepared by J. B. Manson, giving not only the name of the painting but the date it was painted and its present Owner. The other is in the wealth of | reproductions of Mr. Sargent’s work, | with which the volume is replete. Born in Italy. It will come as somewhat of a sur- mother realized that in a maritime life he would be a round peg in a square hole. It is interesting to note here that another American artist, James Whist- ler, had likewise been destined for a military life—that he actually entered West Point but was retired after three years for inaptitude for that type of career. Knew R. L. Stevenson. The author of the present volume makes the following comment: “It is idle to speculate what would have occurred had Sargent been forced to pursue his naval career. Swinburne, writing of Jowett, Master of Balliol, expresses the belief that had _ the master taken to hunting he would have been a hard rider to hounds. We may be equally confident that had Sar- gent been driven into the Navy, his force of character and sense of duty would have carried him to the top.” It was as a pupil of the famous Carolus Duran in Paris that Sargent acquired the rudiments of his art, as well as the finish to his genius. A fellow pupil was R. A. M. Stevenson, a cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson, and Sargent frequently met the nov- | elist. The rest of his story is simply that of ups and downs which come to any artist or man of genius. The exception lis that Sargent conquered his ill luck 'and made it constribute to his future | success. He Refused Knighthood. In the course of his career he was prise to many of Mr. Sargent’s admirers to learn that he was not a native American. His ancestry was American, yet he was born in Florence, Italy, in| am atmosphere which = breathed the | very soul of art. Like most. Americans, Mr. Sargent | had divergent racial strains in his| blood. From the Sargents have come @ decided flare. for achievements, for simce they came to the Americas they had figured in law and commerce, in medicine and literature, as artists and as soldiers and captains. From his mother came a Moravian strain. Some One has said that all great men have had great mothers. This is not uni- formly true, but it was true in the case of John Sargent. She was a woman of culture, an artist and musi- cian and a dominating influence in the household. Early she recognized the genius of her son and guided him to his life-long dedication to art. She, too, was behind the settlement of the prosperous Sargent family in Italy, where little John was born. The father was eager that he adopt a naval career. The mother thought differ- ently, for John was eager to paint ships, not to navigate them, and the decorated by many countries and won many medals and honors. He refused a knighthood from England, prefer- ring to retain his American citizen- ship. The letter in which he turned down the honor for which so many | strive was as follows: “Dear Sir Henry Campbell Banner- man: “I greatly appreciate your willingness to propose my name for the high honour to which you refer, but I hold it as one to which I have no right to aspire as I am not one of His Majesty's subjects but an American citizen. “Believe, “With very great respect, “JOHN A. SARGENT.” Sargent had the pleasure of seeing his work applauded in his life time, and destiny prescribed for him the role of a portrait painter of the social world. But he will maintain his place in the company of ‘eminent painters who portrayed faithfully the human face and form. Bs ee Ee Latest Books Tersely Reviewed THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN CIV-| ILIZATION. By Harrison C. Thomas | and William A. Hamm. Vanguard Press, Inc., New York. In @ small but compact volume these authors have packed much valuable in- formation without sacrificing essentials. The-early contributions to the building of modern civilization, beginning with primitive man, are written on first, and then we are shown the dawn of the great civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome up the highway of history to me- dieval times. Feudalism is discussed in this period and the church-and monasticism come in for their share of attention. The next step was the rise of the national states, then came the development of trade and the commercial revolution; the Renaissance and the Protestant re- volt, while the book continues with comments,on dynastic and commercial rivalries among the nations. - The final chapter is given over to the discussion of the old regime from a social, political s-1 economic view- point. THE OUT-OF-DOORS CLUB. By Sam- uel Scoville, jt. Harper & Broth- ers, New York. Any child who comes into possession of this book is most fortunate. It is not only absorbing in its human inter- est viewpoint, but it contains a wealth of nature lore which will be a stimula- tion toward the thorough examination of the great open book of the Out »f Doors which is available for all, ‘it which so few of us read nowadays. The children who composed the Out- _ of-Doors Club with the doughty cap- ‘tain were taught to keep their eyes and ears open to the great world of living things about them. Like President Roosevelt, their bird books were their most cherished possessions and a care- ful record was kept of the birds sighted on their hikes and other exploration parties. THE LOST CARAVAN. By W. A. Rog- ers. Harper & Brothers, New York. For those who like adventure spiced with books of travel “The Lost Cara- van” promises a rare treat for a lazy summer afternoon of reading. Danny and Dips, two lads, find much excitement and many thrills in the pathless wastes of central Africa with ivory and diamonds the final goal of aheir journey. In the jungles of Africa these Ameri- ¢an boys find their days and their nights crowded with perils, interest and things about which to write home to “the fellows.” They were even im- prisoned in a gorilla village with these man-beasts giving a very good imita- tion of jailers. The book is clean, wholesome, writ- ten with an eye to geographical facts i. evidently by a master hand at is kind of story telling. AIRSHIP DESIGN. By Charles P.

But the experts of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics pursue the even tenor of their ways working on the problems involved in a sane and sensible manner. Charles P.

In writing this book Mr. Burgess has contributed to the need now widely felt for a progressive literature of aerial navigation. PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS, by Harvey A. Morrison. The Stratford Co., Boston, Mass. Just what is success is a difficult thing to define and in lieu of an exact meaning the next best thing is to gauge it from the lives of those who have achieved this elusive quality in one degree or another. Mr. Morrison in his attractive book has taken some typical cases of achieve- ment and built on each of them a new process for success. In fact the major part of his book is devoted to individual cases, as it were. He is generous in his recital of the experiences these men and women had on their roads upward to the goal. One of these stories, for instance, tells how a girl of 15, without help or encourage- ment from home became imbued with the idea of getting a college education and accomplished this without help. Having achieved her ambition, she ba- came a college teacher and helped others on the way. OPPEN HOUSE, a book of essays, by J. B. Priestly (Harper & Brothers, New York), Of this book the publishers say: “Open House is a collection of essays that will please all tastes. Humor, pun- gent and engaging; mellow country es- says, and astute and gayly devastating reflections on modern life, thought and behavior.” This will be: heartily en- dorsed by every one who reads the vol- ume. The author has descriptive pow- ers that are captivating to the reader, be he learned or unlearned. — “Politics,” a study by John Singer Sargent, from “John Sargent.” Take this little selection from one of the essays, in which a lake is the scene: “Rivers I have loved and with them the restless sea, so magical and yet so melancholy, perhaps because it seems the symbol of our desires; but it in those lovely lapping sheets of water, neither seas nor rivers yet having the charm of both with something added, some touch of quiet, peace, soul’s ease, that really posses my heart. You travel over leagues of hulking and stubborn land, then suddenly turn a corner and find a space where there is no earth but only a delicate mirroring of the sky and that faintest rise and fall of waters, the lap-lap-lap along the curv- ing shore. Where else can you find such exquisite beauty and tranquility?” All through the volumes we have such delicious touches of description. It is a volume to be read with pleasure. A BOOK OF LYRICS, by Daniel Hugh Verder (Thomas Nelson & Sons, New York). Mr. Verder follows no known rules of rhetoric in his verse, as to meter or rhyme, yet there is a rhythm in all. In most, in fact in all, there is a touch of sentiment, and now and then a trace of the philosophy of life. In all he lets his fancy find play, and has given the public a volume of delightful verse. FOR THE GLORY OF FRANCE. By Everett McNeil, (E. P. Dutton & Co., New York.) A story of adventures of two youth- ful French soldiers in one of the ex- ploring expeditions of Champlain in Canada. Those early days were indeed glorious days for France. Of the various nations which sent expeditions to the New World those claiming France for their country were the most adven- turous. They were explorers in earnest, Not content with making a mere settle- ment, and trading for furs they plunged into the great wilderness, threaded forests; discovered lakes and rivers, and opened up what they thought would prove a new way to India. Champlain and LaSalle were the he- roes of exploration, and, as well, were the heroes of romance, The two youths who are the leading characters in this story were practically hounded from France during the expulsion of the Huguenots. They joined Champlain, and played prominent parts in several of his expeditions. The story is an absorbing one, and is well told, THE JOY RIDE, by John G. Brandon. (Lincoln MacVeagh, New: York.)

POLYZOIDES Editor, Atlantis Greek Daily. When Dr. Harry A. Garfield, president of Wlilllams College and also of the ‘Willlamstown Institute of Politics, in opening the seventh annual conference of this remarkably successful gather- ing, paid a high tribute to all those institutions created in the last few years, along lines more or less similar to those of the original Institute of Politics, he also inadvertently paid a tompliment to the growing desire of our people for a greater and more ac- tive American participation in affairs. As against one Institute of Politics In 1921 the writer now Knows at least a dozen more, some through active ‘participation in their deliberations and others by their highly efficient and highly interesting work, as reflected in the news and the editorial comments of our papers. Now for one who has spent the last twenty years in America, studying the country and taking an active interest In all phases of its political, economic and social life, there can be no doubt but that the last decade has witnessed & most remarkable development in what we may call the study of world affairs and internationat relations, as affect- ing the policy and the national life of the United States. Ten years ago interest in the doings of the world beyond the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans was chiefly con- fined to a rather small group of spe- Ciallsts, people who had taken a liking to reading history and who enjoyed traveling abroad for the sake of some- thing more than visiting the monu- ments and historical places and mu- seums of the Old World. These people on their return wrote some books, or merely articles in the newspapers, which very few readers en- joyed or even appreciated, except, of course, those who liked stories of ad- venture and political intrigue in dis- tant lands. The World War naturally had a great ceal to do with this awakening of American interest, and American curi- osity in the affairs of Europe, and more generally speaking, of the world. One has but to glance through the pages of most of the literature published in the United States immediately after the great outbreak in order to see the limi- tations and the shortcomings of the majority of most of the books pub- lished at the time for the information and the enlightenment of an American Opinion suddenly become conscious of the great changes that were about to take place in the continent of Europe where on the face of the earth, gand of the obligations that were to be imposed on these still carefree United mga as the result of the great con- ct. . * * + History, during the war, and more csp@ally during America’s participa- tion’ in the struggle, being a more or less one-sided affair, with little of the Objectiveness, so necessary in the study Of great world movements, permitted to interfere with the successful carry- ing on of the war to its victorious end, the study of all the aspects of that conflict to certain limitations at the time. And yet, even in the white heat of that superhuman struggle, there has been here in America considerable freedom of expression, and ample op- portunity for the study of all sources of information relating to the war, its causes, and its most probable outcome. People who wished to study the con- flict in the spirit of the unbiased his- torian had no difficulty in doing so, irrespective of their personal sym- pathies whichever side they clung. It was only when history was used to serve the purposes of propaganda that One ran up against certain unwelcome and yet necessary restrictions. It was about the sdme time that the first attempts of a more generalized discussion of world affairs were made in New York, thanks to the initiative of such organizations as the Academy of Political Science of the City of New York, and the League of Small and Subject Nationalities and some other smaller groups, which, however, proved to’ be more or less out of sympathy with the aims and purposes of the allies in their struggle against Ger- many. . ° . * The most important of the meetings of that period was the one held at Long Beach, L. I., N. Y., July, 1917, under . the auspices of the Academy of Political Science of the City of New York. It was very successful from both the point of view of attendance and subjects dis- cussed. With the signing of the armistice and the gradual calming down of the war fever, this movement for an increased study of world affairs and American foreign policy assumed greater propor- tions. As most of us remember, no sooner was the peace treaty signed in Ver- _gailles than the fight against the League of Nations and the treaty itself began in earnest, under the leadership of such men as United States Senators Lodge, Borah, Reed of Missouri, Johnson of California and last, but not least, Col. George Harvey and the Hon. George Wharton Pepper, who eventually was re- warded for his antileague efforts with the senatorship. As for the lost cause, it certainly founc able defenders in the persons of the late President Wilson, Senator Pittman, of Nevada; Senator King, of Utah, and a host of other ideal- ists, in which the Republican party was ably represented by the late Sena- tor McCumber. - = 7 2 The campajgn of 1920 with all its de- fects and shortcomings, chiefly due to the fact that Mr. Wilson was not able to take part in it, and also due to the fact that the presidential candidate of the party was not the strongest that the Democrats could put in the field, was In most respects one of the most Inspiring and most interesting the country had seen since the days of the Roosevelt-Bryan contest. From the point of the study of foreign politics and world affairs, no other election in American history has ever approached the contest of 1920. People who had never taken an active interest in world affairs, became familiar, in the course of that campaign, with the most in- tricate workings of European diplomacy had an insight in the work- ings of the different European sys- tems of government, To say that the election of 1920 was won and lost on the question of the foreign policy of the United States is to repeat what has since become a platitude. For the student of international af- fairs and world problems, the political campaign- of 1920 ranks as the most stupendous single factor in creating ‘among American opinion a lively in- terest in foreign affairs, and a demand for more and more of that sort of in- formation which would enable the citizen to get a better and ding of the problems far removed had | with the political, social and eco- life of an American, no longer ted on the face of the globe.

The era of scientific debate of interna- tional questions had begun in Will- iamstown in 1921 and is now in full swing throughout the United States. For six years, under the inspiring leadership of Dr. Garfield and the un- tiring efforts of Dr. Walter Wallace its executive secretary, the | Williamstown Institute of Politics has world | more specialized immediately after session grown in importance and prestige to an extent that few of its most opti- mistic sponsors foresaw seven years ago Before, however, we proceed with a more detailed analysis of the work being done in these conferences, due credit must be given to such organiza- tions as the Academy of Political Sci- ence of the City of New York, the American Academy of Political and So- cial Science of Philadelphia and the American Political Science Association, and last, but not least, the American Economic Association, all of which have for years carried out, systematically and very efficiently, the work of scien- tific study of the great world problems of politics, diplomacy and economics and helped to prepare the ground for the development, and even the success, of the newer organizations engaged in this rich fleld of intellectual en- deavor. Last year saw the. culmination of these efforts of the Academy of Po- litical Science of the City of New York, because its general Conference on International Problems and Rela- tions held at Briarcliff Lodge, N. Y. was one of the most brilliantly carried out affairs. This conference was on the occasion of the forty-sixth semiannual meeting of the academy, held under the aus- pices of the Carnegie endowment for international peace and covered four days, from May 10 to 14, inclusive. The proceedings alone of this confer- ence covered a volume nearly 6500 pages thick, which alone gives an idea of the magnitude and importance of the work accomplished there. The sessions at Briarcliff were attended by ho less than 50 correspondents’ of American newspapers while a dozen more representatives of European, Latin-American and other - foreign newspapers were on hand. The gen- eral committee on arrangements was under tic chairmanship of Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, president of the Academy of Political Science of the City of New York, ably assisted by Dr. Parker Thomas Moon and Dr. James Thomas Shotwell, Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler and others. It was a very happy idea of the American Academy of Political and Social Science of Philadelphia to open its conference immediately after the New York organization terminated its labors. Thus the members attend- ing the one hand the opportunity to attend the other, which was devoted to the discussion of the problem of the United States in relation to the European situation. Dr. Leo S. Rowe, president of the academy had charge of the program which was carried out to complete success. It remained for the American Politi- cal Science Association to close the year of these activities in one of the most important meetings in its, history, and the sessions held in St. Louis in the four closing days of the year were filled with some of the best and most infor- mative addresses and discussions on the most important American and world questions. What made the sessions at St. Louis extremely interesting was the fact that seven other associations held their meetings under the same roof and at the same time, with.a total registration of nearly 1,000 persons. These were the American Economic Association, the American Statistical Association, the American Farm Economic Association, the American Association for Labor Legislation, the American Association of University Instructors in Account- ing, and the American Sociological As- sociation. are being published by the different or- ganizations that held those meetings, and are replete with the most up to date information on the subjects dealt with in the various lectures, round tables, discussions and debates of the entire session. * ° e ° These conferences were supplemented during the year by the extremely well attended luncheons of the Foreign Pol- icy Association, whose phenomenal growth and expansion in the last few years is not only a tribute to its presi- dent, James C. McDonald, but to all those who actually participated in its conferences and lent their support to the excellent piece of work done by this organization. The Chicago Council of Foreign Relations has been doing the same kind of work, and with the same welcome results, to mention but two of these organizations, solely devoted to the discussions of problems related to The proceedings of all these meetings | American foreign- policy and interna- tional relations. Nevertheless, what should be pointed out in this connection is that all of these organizations, not to mention such units as the Pan-American Union of Washington or the most efficient China and Japan Societies in New York, or the Conference on Pan-Pacific Relations in Honolulu, or even the American Society of International Law, and kindred associations, were held to be highly specialized groups whose de- liberations were almost closed to the general public, and all but confined to a select few. People thought of these associations in the same way as they did of the American Archeological So- clety, the American Geographical So- ciety, or the American Philosophical Society. ° od ” - To Williams College belongs the initiative of taking the study of world problems from its high horse and bringing it down where all those who felt themselves able to contribute to its discussions could attack it in an atmosphere of friendliness and mutual understanding. The Willlamstown Institute having opened the way in 1921, a number of other organizations followed its lead in quick succession. Thus the common- wealth conference under the auspices of the State University of Iowa opened its conference in 1923, and kept it as an annual affair ever since, last year being its most successful in the opinion of those who attended it. In 1924 the Furman Institute of Poli- tics, under the wing of Furman Uni- versity in Greenville, S. C., began its yearly sessions, which this year cul- minated in the most interesting con- ference of the Southern Institute of Politics of the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. In the same year of 1924 another institution for the study of world problems was opened in Chicago spon- sored by the Norman Wait Harris Memorial, and thereafter regularly held under the auspices of the Uni- versity of Chicago. This also is an annual affair. The Los Angeles Institute of For- eign Affairs was another typical in- stitution of its kind, and its first ses- sion in July, 1926, was a most im- portant one... I understand another session of the same group will soon be on the way. Last December the Institute of In- ternational Relations of the Pacific Area was held with significant success at Mission Inn, Riverside, Calif., under the direction of Dr. Rufu- Kleinsmid. The series of these most interesting gatherings for the year 1927 opened in the first week of February in sunny Louisiana, where the first annual con- ference on foreign affairs and Ameri- can diplomacy was held under the aus- pices of the Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, Dr. Charles W. Pip- kins being the secretary in charge. It was in every respect an excellent con- ference, where for the first time the place of religion in politics, and woman in politics was made the subpect of a special study, the former subject dis- cussed under the leadership of Dr. Brown, while the latter had as its spokesman Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, as distinguished a lady and as delight- ful a speaker as one could wish to listen to in the discussion of a problem which daily grows more interesting. a ad on Shortly thereafter the annual con- ference of the Southwestern Political Science Association held its sessions in Dallas, Tex., and some very interesting papers were presented and discussed there in round tables and general con- ferences. I have already mention®y the very successful Southern Instituwle of Poli- tics held in Athens, Ga., under the q@- rection of Prof. Edgar H. Henderson and Cullen B. Gosnell, and with the whole-hearted assistance of the Sum- mer School of the University of Geor- ia. / . During July 25 and 26 an institute on Latin-American relations was held with remarkable success in Durham, N. H., under the auspices of the Uni- versity of New Hampshire. The doings of the most important Institute on Pacific Relations in Hono- lulu are still too vivid in the minds of the readers of this paper to require a repetition of what happened there. And now while the Institute of Poli- tics at Williamstown is proceeding with its accustomed great success, and its perfect arrangements, there opened last Monday in Charlottesville, Va., the Institute of Public Affairs of the Uni- versity of Virginia, with a program full of interesting promise. What other institutes and confer- ences the year 1927 has in store it is a little bit early to foretell. There is, for instance, the meeting of the American Political Science Association, the Amer- ican Economic Association, the Ameri- can Sociological Association and other kindred bodies in Washington, some time in December, while the New York Political Academy and the Philadelphia American Academy of Political and So- cial Science will naturally have some- thing going on in a very short time.

It deals with a woman who becomes discour- aged with her easy-going husband and who craves again the ardor of youthful love making, forgetting or ignoring the fact that she has a daughter of her own who is old enough to have a sweetheart. The story is splendidly motivated throughout and the high suspense, hu- mor and pathos are the result of logi- cally constructed situations. Olive Tell has the role of the dissatisfied wile, while Holmes Herbert is her easy-going and lovable husband. Earle Foxe gives a fine performance in the part of men- ace, a difficult role in this case as in- terpretation is from a humorous angle, while Richard Walling and Sue Carroll are the young lovers in the picture in sympathy with the deserted father of the girl. ° In “His First Flame,” Harry Langdon starts out as a college graduate and winds up as a fire fighter—battling through flame and smoke to rescue the lady of his heart. And throughout the entire picture Harry maintains that in- imitable blank expression of super- dumbness that has made him famous. Harry plays the part of a wealthy young man who is not overly endowed with brains, but who has a good heart and a childlike faith in humanity. Of course, he falls into the clutches of a scheming woman and she determines to marry Harry for his money. How he es- capes her and finally finds the girl of his heart comprises one of the most de- liciously ridiculous pieces of screen comedy ever to be shown at the Metro- politan Theater. The bill will be completed by an un- usual array of selected short reels. “SHATTERED” COMES HERE One of those rare and fragile works of art that come along but once in months, it is said, is “Shattered,” a new UFA production that will be shown at the Little Theater this week for the first time outside of New York City. It is described as a remarkable character study and drama, stark in its implicity and unusually arresting in ts treatment. Its theme is five days in the life of a German track-walker, a poor old man, whose only treasures are his wife and daughter. Into his home there comes a railroad inspector, who seduces the daughter and ngs ruin to the gee man’s life, whi is now “shat- Another feature on the bill at the Little Theater this week is “Carmen,” the famous old burlesque on the opera, ‘made by Essanay in 1916.

UNIT SHOW — ON BOARDS AT EARLE new type of entertainment now very much in favor, the unit revue, will be presented as the vaudeville por- tion of the bill to be presented at the Earle Theater this week, beginning this afternoon at 3 o’clock, the title of which is “Gossips of 1927,” the newest of the unit shows. : This pretentious and gorgeously cos- tumed and staged attraction will offer several well-known vaudeville acts, each with their own specialty presented in a different manner. The cast of 25 in- clude Marjorie Moore and her ten June bugs, ‘“Vaudeville’s Snappies Lady Band;” Baron Emerson and Count Baldwin, “Nuts Pure and Simple;” Marion Wilkins and the six California peaches, “‘Danceland’s Fairest Flowers,” and Billy Dale as master of ceremonies. Consuming an hour and a half of the week’s bill at the Earle, this unit show will provide all of the entertainment formerly seen in the course of the presentation of five acts. “High Hat,” another burlesque on the movies, will be the screen feature to be presented this week at the Earle The- ater, in which the cast is headed by Ben Lyon, Sam Hardy and Mary Brian. The story tells, with considerable satire, just what goes on in a studio during the making of a picture, the loves and laughs of the stars and the extras, the tempests of the directors and the in- genuity of the property man. It was written by James Ashmore Creelman, who also made his debut as a director with the film. The bill will be rounded out by the usual short screen subjects, including @ new two-reel comedy and the latest issue of the kinograms and concert overture and exit march by the Earle Theater Orchestra, Floyd C. Wheeler conducting. 4a Ten-Piece Orchestra. Reached by cars of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., that run from the city direct to the park, or by motor via Conduit road, Glen Echo Park, Washington’s famous free admission amusement park, offers 50 or more di- versified attractions for fun and pleas- ure for every member of the family.

POLA NEGRI IN NEW FILM AT PALACE Pola Negri, in her latest Paramount production, “Barbed Wire,” is to be seen at Loew’s Palace Theater starting today for an engagement of six days. Satur- day, August 20, the Palace changes its policy to Saturday opening of all new shows. The stage attractions beginning today are Phil Spitalny and his Victor Recording Melody Masters and “The Voice of the Nightingale,” featuring Sybil Sanderson Fagen, whistler. Other features on the program include Inter- national News, Aesop’s Fables, Dick Lei- bert, organ music, and a special novelty overture “A Symphony in Color” ar- ranged by Colby Harriman and played by Thomas Gannon and his Palace Con- cert Orchestra. In “Barbed Wire” Pola Negri plays Mona, a Normandy farm girl, who, in spite of her bitter hatred of wartime Germany and its people, falls in love with Oskar, a German prisoner in a French camp near her home. The play, in one sense, is not a “war picture;” it is rather a tremendous story of the back-currents of the war, an angle never before approached. The girl Mona, as played by Pola Negri, is elemental, vital, intensely hu- man. She is supported by a cast ideally chosen and back of the picture is a production staff of the keenest minds in the motion-picture industry. The photoplay was adapted from Hall Caine’s great novel “The Woman of Knockaloe,” the book that created u sensation when it appeared and brought its author even more to the forefront as one of England’s leading men of letters. Khartum, Persian Pianist, To Appear at Keith’s A striking example of the cosmo- politan character of American vaude- ville is offered by Khartum, the Per- sian pianist, who is now making a tour of Keith-Albee theaters, appearing at Keith’s this week. Khartum was born in Constantinople, his mother being a daughter of the ancient Kingdom of Iran, of gentle birth, and his father a Russian in the diplomatic service. He therefore justly claims his Persian na- tionality through his maternal ancestry. His musical education was begun in Russia, continued in England and fin- ished in New York. In the latter city he was a pupil of Joseffy. Khartum has played in concerts and in vaudeville throughout the world, in every Eng- lish-speaking land and in every Euro- pean country. While playing in England at the close of the war-he was heard by the queen who was so pleased by his work that by her order he was included in the first “command” program after the close of hostilities. In England no Sunday ‘performances of vaudeville are given, nor of any other form of stage pre- sentations, but many of the theaters are occupied by the Sunday League per- formances, consisting of music alone. At one of these Sunday League concerts at Finsbury Park, a high-class residence suburb of London, Khartum so pleased his critical musical audience that in- stead of the usual fifteen minutes of his routine, he was kept on the stage for an hour. a .

Scribner, president and general manager of the Columbia Amusement Co., is arranging the final details of the forthcoming season. Mr. Scribner, through Manager Ira J. La Motte, of the Gayety Theater here, sponsors the announcement that the Columbia “wheel” will again present a diversified line of attractions, fol- lowing last season’s highly successful experiment in presenting plays that have won fame at high prices, as well as continuing the offering of musical revues, cartoon comedies, “Black and White” shows and one company of colored players. “Rain” will be seen on the Columbia “wheel” for the first time at popular prices. Sam Forrest, who staged the original work for Sam H,. Harris, di- rected for Lewis Talbot the company that will this season have Leona Earl as the Sadie Thompson. Mr. Tal- bot will also present, for a second season, “White Cargo,” the melodrama that broke all records on the Colum- bia circuit last season. “Kongo,” an- other greatly successtul melodrama of last season, will again tour the “wheel.” All of these plays are of a sensational nature. Comedy stars in plenty will head their own companies in musical revues, in which girls will be in domi- nant majority. “Bozo” Snyder will again head his own company and Jim- mie Cooper will again be seen as star of his “Black and White Revue.” There will be only one company con- sisting of entirely colored players— “Darktown Follies.” Two cartoon com- edies will be presented, “Bringing Up Father in Politics” and “Mutt and Jeff in Paris.” The Lander Brothers, starring in their own revue; Jean Bo- dini in his new show, “Cook-a-Doodle Soo;” Lew Kelly, the famous “dope fiend” specialist; “Sliding Billy” Wat- son, Frank X. Silk, Billy Gilbert and Bert Bertrand will come back to former popularity in brand-new offerings. There will be in all 25 companies tour- ing the Columbia circuit this season, bringing a new show into 25 towns as the “wheel” revolves each week. Plan Special Nights. A new program of specialty nights Is being mapped for Le Paradis Roof Gar- den and will be presented in the near future. Thursday “Theatrical Night” is a weekly feature which constitutes a weekly budget of rare surprises. An- nouncements of notables to be present on this evening are never made in ad- vance, but’the roster of those present always includes the foremost visiting stage personages who are the guests of Meyer Davis on this occasion. Jack Golden, leader of the nationally known Le Paradis Band, is now back from his vacation with a coat of deep tan and a big new supply of verve, elan and all the other things that are neces- sary for the director of the city’s pre- mier dance band. The charm of the Le Paradis roof, the fastidiousness of appointments and service, and the desirable atmosphere created by the presence of the “right people” are all a part of the perfect ensemble of this resort. Open Every Sunday. The delightful roof garden atop the Powhatan Hotel, at Eighteenth and Pennsylvania avenue and H_ street northwest, is open every Sunday eve- ning for dinner from 6:30 to 9:30, with main dining room prices prevailing, no cover charge and no music or dancing, offering an opportunity to enjoy Sunday evening dinner and the cooling breezes Every week night the roof garden is open for dinner, 6:30 to 9, with music by John Slaughter and his Hotel Pow- hatan Orchestra, with no cover charge. after 9::30 for supper dancing oe z . 7 : e Se Fee Ai af sir & ee?

Miss Myrtil appears in a specially arranged act that gives her every op- portunity to display her many talents including a gorgeous voice and a rare ability to play the violin. The feature for the week will be the first appearance here of a musical romance of the South called “Dear Little Rebel,” with Nancy Gibbs and a large Broadway cast. The book is by Edwin Burke and the music by Cliff Hess. Next in line comes that favorite gen- tleman in black, Mel Klee, better known as “The Prince of Wails.” A clever bit of fun will be offered by Eddie Clayton and Frank Lennie by way of what they call “A Sundae in London,” by Claude W. Bostock. Julius Schichtl will present the modern Marionettes, those clever little figures that perform all sorts of mar- velous stunts both for the kiddies and the grown-ups. On the bill this week will be Khar- tum, a famous Persian pianist, who will be heard in “Moments Worth While.” 2 Ed and Lee Traver will entertain under the billings of paragons of phy- sical endeavor. Dault and Le Marr will open the show in “Laffs and Thrills.” Aesop’s Fables, Topics of the Day and the Pathe news pictorial will frame the bill. Coming attractions—Blossom Seeley with Benny Fields will top the bill at B. F. Keith’s Theater for the week of August 21. BABE RUTH FILM STAR AT RIALTO A picture filled with thrills and human interest, comedy and novel romance is the feature at the Rialto this week. “Babe Comes Home” is its title, and Babe Huth, the giant figure of baseball history, heads the cast, with Anna Q. Nilsson and Louise Fazenda featured. The picture has a real story; indeed, “Babe Comes Home” was a magazine tale before it was adapted to the screen a Gerald Beaumont called “Said With oap.” While there are plenty of baseball! scenes and the Bambino is seen at his best, there is a most engaging love story in addition. “Babe Comes Home” tells of a girl in a laundry where the suits worn by a baseball team are frequently washed. She becomes interested especially in one suit which is always more soiled thay the others and finally goes to the ball grounds to witness a game and learns who wears this particular uni- form. He is the star player, and her impressionable heart goes out to him. From the drab little laundry girl she blossoms forth and finally attracts his attention, with a resultant romance and the hero swatting his way to undying fame, — Eight actors who have never faced @ camera before figure in the cast. They are real baseball players, headed by Babe Ruth. Among the players used are “Doc” Crandall, Los Angeles’ veteran pitcher. The stage presentation feature consists of a quintet of popular melo- dists, with Rox Rommell presiding at the piano and directing. A comedy, “The Show-Off,” Inter- national Newsreel and a novelty film entitled “The Glory That Was Greece” round out the program. GERALDINE FARRAR TO SING HERE Geraldine Farrar, one of the most vivid and distinguished figures in the whole realm of international music and for years prima donna soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will be one of the outstanding musical at- tractions of the 1927-28 season, accord- ing to an announcement made yester- day by Mrs. Wilson-Greene, Miss Farrar has been selected as the artist who will replace the Boston Symphony Orchestra as one of the at- tractions of Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s Phil- harmonic series of concerts, the Boston Symphony engagement having been canceled because of a conflict of dates with another orchestra. Miss Farrar will appear in concert at Poli’s Theater on Wednesday afternoon, January 11, just prior to sailing for an extended operatic engagement in Germany. The selection of Miss Farrar defi- nitely completes the formation of the Philharmonic course of Wilson-Greene attractions, though it has been neces- sary to make certain revisions in the dates of attists previously announced. For example, Fritz Kreisler, one of the artists of this course, who was origi- nally scheduled to play at Poll’s on Fri- day afternoon, January 13, will not ar- rive in the United States in time to fill this engagement and will play in- stead on Tuesday afternoon, February 21, the date originally fixed for the appearance of Sergei Rachmaninoff, the pianist. Mr. Rachmaninoff will make his appearance instead on Friday after- noon, March 2. Edward Johnson, Met- ropolitan tenor, will open the course with a concert on Friday afternoon, November 11, and it will be closed with Jeritza’s concert on Wednesday after- noon, March 7. No change in artists or dates has been made in the two other Wilson-Greene series of afternoon concerts. Miss Farrar’s appearance here in January will mark her first con- cert appearance in the Capital since she left the ranks of the Metropolitan.

He re- mained at the top of the comedy heap for years, and he still has hopes of get- ting back through comedies to be filmed in Germany before long. More recently, Fatty has been doing some film directing. But his forte is acting, not holding the megaphone and bossing others. Walter Wright is credited with devel- oping Arbuckle into a screen comic of the first order.

IS UNIQUE Babe Ruth is probably the only mod- ern athlete who is truly an interna- tional figure, yet he has never toured the world or taken part in olympic games or other international competi- tions. He is probably the only figure in any branch of athletics, and certainly the only figure baseball has produced to date, sufficiently outstanding to take his place in world history. Remarkable athletic performance and phenomenal popularity has thrust the big slugger out into the limelight as an outstanding figure. In the same way the most sensational part of his per- formance—home run records—has ob- scured the fact that Babe Ruth 15 really a great fielder, base runner and baseball general. Moreover, he was a great pitcher when his hitting ability caused him to be put in a position to save his energies for offensive work. Unless some athlete of the future makes more sensational records, or stands as far alfead of all past and con- temporary competitors, and achieves an equal or greater popularity, Ruth’s name will remain that giant figure of of baseball and of all athletics.

Featured in the cast Every one in the room, prior to the stabbing, has reasons for disliking the Donovan fellow. Consequently sus- picion is distributed among all. The crime was certainly committed in the room. No one hasleft the house. Con- sequently the guilty one must be num- bered among the guests.

Hollywood, Calif—It is homebuilding time in the Hollywood hills, and in other suburbs offering a modified mountain back- ground for the mansions of play- ers who have scaled or are scaling, the pinnacles of mo- tion picture re- nown. Most of the new film colony man- sions are of the Spanish - Californ- ian or Mediterran- ean styles just now popular in South- ern California, and usually feature in their landscaping such alds to outdoor recreations as bath- ing pools tennis court and gold courses. Mildred Davis Fresh Water Golf. The home Harold Liloyd and his actress-wife Mildred Davis are building in a canyon back of Beverly Hills, for instances, includes in its grounds a nine-hole golf course made interest- ingly hazardous by a canoe course run- ning down the middle of it. Everything in the house itself is grouped around the nursery which 3-year-old Mildred Gloria will occupy. Simplicity De Luxe. Across the road from the Lloyd estate Colleen Moore is landscaping a home- site which will have something unusual in the way of a bathing pool. Instead of the customary concrete plunve, Col- leen’s pool will be patterned after the “ole swimmin’ hole” of popular memory. A babbling brook will feed it fregh water, and hickory limbs will over- shadow its green depths. Mexican Note.

E. WADE WERNER (Motion Picture Feature Editor of the Associated Press.) Hollywood, Calif.—Hungary is said to be a small country, but one would never guess it in Hollywood, where every other picture seems to have a Hungarian star, di- rector, writer, art- ist or featured player somewhere connected with it. One of the new- est Hollywood- Hungarians is Willy Pogany, whom theatergoers will remember for his costumes and set- tings in “Le Coq a’Or” and who more recently has been painting murals in New York. Pogany is doing the costumes and sets for Gilda Gray’s new film, Willy Pogany ‘| “The Devil Dancer.” At Home Now Other Hungarians who have not been here very long, yet seem to -have achieved their share of American popularity, include Vilma Banky, who two years ago was practically unknown to film fans of this country; Lya de Putti, the feminine lead of “Variety;” Maria Corda, who is playing Helen in “The Private Life of Helen of Troy,” and her director-husband, Alexander Corda. Victor Varconi, the Pilate of “The King of Kings;” Ernest Vajda, the playwright and_ scenarist; Charles Puffy, the comedian and _ character actor, and Lajor Biro, who with Jules Furthman, wrote “The Way of All Flesh” for Emil Jannings, are others. Shoots Like Mix One of the best rifie shots in the screen colony here never does any trick shooting in front of the camera. She is Eugenia Gilbert, who came from South Orange, N. J., but rides and shoots like a Tom Mix. She is playing op- posite Ricardo Cor- tez in “By Whose Hand,” a mystery film in which she wears an evening gown and _ Jlooks terrified when gun- play threatens.

In this picture Jannings portrays a genial bank cashier, a respected and important member of his community. He is married, and loves his six chil- dren devotedly. On a trip he meets a blonde vamp and he yields to tempta- tion “just once.” The drama which follows the bank cashier’s going “the way of all flesh” is pitiful and power- ful, giving Jannings the most effective role he has ever had. It is now playing to capacity business at the Rialto Thea- ter, New York City, where it has been showing for the past seven weeks. It is said to be a gerat picture. One of the most entertaining domes- tic comedies the local screen has pre- sented, “Lonesome Ladies,” will be the attraction at Crandall’s Metropolitan Theater next week. Lewis Stone and Anna Q. Nilsson are cofeatured at the head of an excellent cast in a film ro- mance that is not only highly humor- ous, but very appealing. Jane Winton at her delectable best is the beautiful vamp who tries to charm Mr. Stone from his wife, Miss Nilsson. The pro- gram will embrace a distinguished ar- ray of selected short subjects and also excellent musical contributions. The bill to be presented at the Earle Theater next week will prove exception- ally interesting by reason of the fact that the headline attraction, a clever one-act sketch, was written by L. Monta Bell, former Washingtonian, and now one of the screen's greatest direc- tors, who last week filmed several scenes of his latest John Gilbert star- ring vehicle in Washington. Other in- clusions in the vaudeville portion of the bill will be June Shirley Blake, the Physical Culture Baby; Percy Oakes and Pamela Delour and their Imperial Marmimba Orchestra; the Ti- tian Clown, Miss Primrose Semon glorifying “It,” and Arthur Petley and company. The film attraction for the week will be “White Gold,” a tenseful Story of elemental emotions starring Jetta Goudal. Emil Jannings and Pola Negri come to the Little Theater next week in “Passion,” the famous tale of Mme. DuBarry, which made such an astound- ing success some years past. This was one of the great films which intro- duced to America the work of the UFA company, who have held the lead ever since in the production of artistic films. Werner Kraus in UFA’s “Shattered,” and Charlie Chaplin in Essanay’s “Carmen,” with Edna Purviance, Ben Turpin, Fatty Arbuckle, &c., will form @ double feature hill at the Wardman Park Theater next week. Several short reels will also be included. One of James Oliver Curwood’s popu- lar novels, “Back to God’s Country,”-has again reached the screen, this time as a Universal production, and will be shown at the Rialto for a week starting Saturday, August 20. As is usual with this author’s stories the action takes place in the Canadian Northwest. The story tells of a trapper, who kills a man in self defense, but is hounded by the villian who covets the trapper’s daughter. An American figures as the hero and is instrumental in untangling the situation. Balloting for Play. Director Clifford Brooke, of the Na- tional Players, who has made several air-talks this season, was scheduled for another appearance over WMAL Satur- day night to enlighten the public on the play-contest being held for the last week of the summer season, beginning September 5. Balloting by patrons is now going on to pick the most popular play for revival.

His grandmother founded Colorado’s first institute for the deaf and blind. It was only natural that Lon should learn to express his thoughts unusually well by a few mo- tions with his fingers or just as often by means of a single gesture or facial | expression. “Motion picture acting is pantornssme highly developed and aided by the use of a few subtitles,” explained Mr. Cha- ney. “I feel that the circumstances under which I lived as a boy helped me a great deal in pantomime acting. “If you will take time to notice the next time you see two or more deaf- mutes in conversation you will see that they resort to the use of the finger sign language but little, comparatively speaking. One glance conveys a whole paragraph, “Just try to carry on a wordless conversation with some one and you will soon learn that it takes endless patience to perfect gestures and facial éexpressions—and the worse fault of all, to my way of thinking, is over- acting or exaggeration of gesture.” Clarence Badger directed “Quincy Adams Sawyer.” Bernard McConville wrote the screen adaptation from Charles Felton Pidgin’s novel.

MENTIONING OF PRICES INVOLVED IN METHOD Henry Field Seed Company Offers Products for Sale by Wireless. By ROBERT D. HEINL. The question of direct advertising over the radio—that is, the mentioning of the prices of goods to be sold—has been brought to national attention by the restoration to its original frequency of 650 kilocycles (461.3 meters) by the Federal Radio Commission of Station KFNF, of Shenandoah, Iowa, and the doubling of its old power, but with the restriction that it broadcast only dur- ing daylight hours. This station, which is operated by the Henry Field Seed Co., and through which products of the concern are of- fered for Sale over the radio, under the June 15 allocations was relegated to the “languishing band,” having been assigned a frequency of 1,110 kilo- cycles (270.1 meters), where it was al- leged that its regular customers could no longer hear it. In fact, the change proved so disas- trous for KFNF, according to its coun- sel, former Representative W. D. Jamie- gon. of Iowa, that practically 80 per cent of the concern’s business was de- gtroyed. Mr. Jamieson related to the commission something of the com- pany’s remarkable growth. He said that the yearly orders amounted to 550,000. Speaking of the personal popularity of Henry Field as an an- mouncer, he declared in a recent con- test conducted by a large Chicago radio magazine Mr. Field received the second highest number of votes to Graham McNamee, the winner. Station Wins Back Old Frequency. It is believed the appeal made by Mr-c$amieson had considerable to do with making the commission realize the magnitude of the audience at- tracted by the station. At any rate, soon thereafter it was announced that the old frequency had been restored to KFNF by the Radio Commission during daytime hours from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m., and for that period it would be allowed to increase its usual power from 1,000 to 2,000 watts. However, it was provided by the com- mission that in lieu of this concession station KFNF give up its present fre- quency of 1,110 kilocycles (270.1 me ters) and from now on cease broad- casting after 7 o’clock in the evening. Upon learning that station KFNF had been restored to its old frequency KMA, also of Shenandoah, owned by the May Seed Co., and which, along with KFNF, was relegated to a less de- sirable wave-length, immediately asked for the privilege of dividing time with station WSUI, at Iowa City, on a fre- quency of 710 kilocycles (422.3 meters) and to be allowed to increase its power to 2,000 watts during the daytime and 1,000 watts at night. The Henry Field and the May Cos. are rivals in the seed business and both engage in the direct selling of their commodities by radio. Further evidence that the commis- sion is giving considerable thought to the subject of direct selling via the radio was brought out in an interview with Chairman W. H. G. Bullard by James True, in Printer’s Ink. me Chairman Bullard said that during the few months the commission has been functioning there has been a de- cided falling off in broadcast direct advertising and pointed out that, indi- rectly, the protests of the public to the commission have had considerable influence in bringing about the elimi- nation of objectionable programs. Holds Broadcasters Misled. “we have given all of the letters consideration,” he continued, “and think that our use of them in a num- ber of instances has had a salutary effect. Apparently a number of broad- casters and advertisers are broadcast- ing objectionable programs merely be- cause they are misled and do not know anything about the reaction of the public. When they are advised of re- sults they promptly change their policy, and the letters we have received from the public have enabled us to advise quite a number of them. “As a typical example, a certain broadcaster was sending out direct ad- vertising and selling appeals to build up his business. He was plainly at- tempting to sell merchandise by radio, and he advertised in his local news- papers to direct attention of listeners to his broadcast talks. “We soon received many letters of protest and condemnation from the public regarding the series of talks. There was no doubt that a large per- centage of his listeners vigorously ob- jected to his selling features, and a number of them sent us clippings of the newspaper advertisements as sup- plementary evidence to their protests. “As it happened, this broadcaster had some dealings with us and came to Washington. When we told him that his programs evidently were not meet- ing with favor, he seemed surprised. He said that he had made quite a few sales due to his broadcasting, and thought that the pubilc was interested in his selling effort. He promptly changed his mind, however, when we showed him the evidence we had accumulated, and before he left the office he declared that he would immediately change his policy and the nature of his programs. Since then we have had no complaints regarding the efforts of that particular broadcaster. Bullard Opposes Direct Advertising. “The argument that radio direct ad- vyertising is good and inoffensive to the ublic because it creates.sales in some nstances, is not a valid argument. If you broadcast a strong bargain appeal, and if the bargain is obviously genuine and worth while, you will make sales. The advertiser, considering only the orders, may think that he is attracting customers and building up his busi- ness; but I do not think that he would remain under any such belief if he could look over the protests, objections and condemnations regarding his ef- fort which come to the commission. “According to all the evidence I have seen, and there is a good deal of it, the business man who employs radio direct advertising as a selling force is working against himself. He is building up a liability instead of an asset. He is pay- ing for something he doesn’t get. ile he may attract a few purchasers, I do not think that he makes friends of them, and I know from the many let- ters we have received that he makes numerous enemies. 3 “The broadcaster is in the same - TESTING ROOM ATOP TOWER. Resembling an enlarged bird-house, the Sternite Radio Co., of Atchison, Kans., claims to have the only aerial radio testing labora- tory in the world. In the little room on top of the 125-foot tower it is possible to avoid earth disturbances. The tower cost $50,000. LD favorites, including one of 200 years ago, will be featured in O the concert broadcast by Allen McQuhae, Irish tenor, in the At- water Kent hour tonight from WRC. “Sally in Our Alley” heads the list with two centuries of popularity. “Sally,” one of the most popular songs ever written in England, is by Henry Carey, who has told the story of his composition: “The real occa- sion was this: A shoemaker’s ’prentice, making a holiday with his sweetheart, treated her with a sight of Bedlam, the puppet shows, the flying chairs, and all the elegancies of Moorfields; whence proceeding to the Farthing pie-house he gave her a collation of buns, cheese, cakes, gammon of bacon, stuffed beef and bottled ale; through all which scenes the author dodged them, whence he drew this little sketch of nature.” Carey was born about 1663 and taught music in the schools and families of London. He was a prolific writer of songs, and in 1729 published two volumes of poems, which received the commendation of Addison. He committed suicide in a fit of despair October 4, 1743, at his London home, the newspaper story saying that “by means of a halter he put a period to a life which had been led without reproach.” Like all who took their lives in that day, Carey was buried at a crossroads, and his grave is unknown. The complete program follows: ‘I Hear You Calling Me,’’ Marshall; ‘“‘Bendemeers Stream,’ Tom Moore; ““‘When You and I Were Young Maggie,’ George W. Johnson and J. A. Butterfield; ‘‘Homing,’’ Teresa del Riego; “Sally in Our Alley,’ Henry Carey; ‘‘Total Eclipse,’ from Samson, Handel, and “‘Kitty O’Toole,” Protheroe. * “ * * Bishop Collins Denny, D. D., of Richmond, Va., will preach the sermon in the service from the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church South at 11 o’clock this morning. ‘“‘Dividends’’ will be the subject of the Rev. Dr. Douglass Buchanan, D, D., pastor of the South Presbyterian Church, Yonkers, N. Y., during the Interdenominational Church Service at 2 o’clock. The musical selec- tions which will be heard during this service will be presented by an ensemble of soloists representing different churches and denominations and, as usual, will be under the direction of Clarence W. Allen, Brooklyn organist and musical director. Rev. Arthur D. Rudd, Canon of Washington, will preach the sermon from the Peace Cross of the Washington Cathedral at 4 o’clock this afternoon. . 4 al + In the Federation Sacred Musicale to be broadcast through WRC at 3:30 o’clock, two compositions by New York organists will be featured. The first is the anthem, ‘‘The Day Is Gently Sinking to a Close,’”’ by James, and the second the anthem, “‘Cast Thy Burden,” by Bernhardt Hamblen. The program will be presented by the Radio Four and an instrumental trio under the direction of Arthur Billings Hunt. Miss Frances Sebel, soprano, who frequently has sung as soloist with the National Grand Opera Company, will be heard in the program by the National Concert Orchestra at 5 o’clock. Miss Sebel has made a specialty of singing Hungarian gypsy songs and will sing a group of compositions by Francis Alexander Korbay this afternoon. In addition to the Hun- garian songs, Miss Sebel will be heard in the rendition of the old love song ‘‘Caro Mio Ben.”’ Yascha Bunchuk, cellist, will be a soloist in the Capitol ‘‘family” pro- gram tonight. This artist is a pupil of the Petrograd.Imperial Conserva- tory and a protege of Glazounoff, the famous Russian composer. He achieved a European reputation through appearances with the leading musical organizations of Englend, France, Austria and Germany prior to the World War. Although Bunchuk arrived in this country only a few years ago, his ability was quickly recognized and musical authorities acclaimed him a ‘‘master’’ cellist. %* % ‘‘What’s Wrong With the Theater?” will be the subject of a discussion by Frank Ferguson at 8:45 o’clock, followed by the ‘“‘Cathedral Echoes” program with March McCurdy at the console of the organ. ot 1 %* Pierre Monteux will conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in its program at 7:30 o’clock from WJZ, WBAL and KDKA. Compost- tions by Mozart and Beethoven will fill the first half of the Stadium program, Beethoven being represented by his symphony No. 8. The second half will be made up of characteristic selections from the works of Respighi, Debussy and Chabrier. During the intermission at the Stadium Doris Doe, contralto with the instrumental] unit known as The Granadas, will be heard ffom the studio of WJZ. S OS Signal Area Perils WNYC Radio Because of its proximity to theSOS distress signal for ships at sea, the power of the municipal station WNYC in New York City, cut from 1,000 to 500 watts in the recent allocations by the Federal Radio Commission, per again * * " be cut. It is said further complaints have come*to the commission regarding the possibility of this station interfer- ing with distress signals. One of the reasons attributed to the interference tendencies is the location of the station atop of the 24-story Municipal Building, where it has prac- tically full sweep of the harbor and ocean.

LARGE STEEL GIRDERS SUPPORT BUNGALOW Engineer Hopes to Avoid Every Possible Disturb- ance From Earth. Perched atop the highest hill in Atchison County, Kans., is radio’s latest innovation—an aerial testing labora- tory. The laboratory housed in a structure 20 feet square, is 125 feet above the ground and 525 feet above the level of the Missouri River in Atchison. It has been erected by Fred W. Stein, presi- dent of the Steinite Radio Co., Inc., said to be one of the most interesting radio factories in the United States. Erected at a cost of more than $50,- 000 and constructed on massive steel girders, the aerial tower’s lofty bunga- low is reached by an electric elevator. Up in the clouds overlooking the home of the Atchison Country Club, Mr. Stein and his plant manager and chief engi- neer, F. W. Iggberg, hope to avoid every possible earth disturbance and conduct radio experiments. “We plan a number of rather unusual experiments in this tower laboratory,” Mr. Iggberg says. “We will not be hampered by earth disturbances and can determine more successfully how circuits and instruments used in radio receivers can be improved.” Mr. Iggberg explains that one of the first experiments will be with balloon type antennae. Small captive balloons will be sent up on 1,500 foot wires, the wires designed to function at pick- ups for radio signals. 750 Persons Employed, “I believe we will be able to do new things with crystal receivers,” Mr. Igg- berg says, “when we complete the in- vestigations we have in mind for this experiment.” The principal research laboratory of the Steinite factory now is located in a building at the base of the tower. “We employ more than 750 persons,” Mr. Stein said to a representative of the Kansas City Journal-Post, “when the plant is in full operation. Our or- der for mahogany, which will be shipped from the Philippine Islands, is 750,000 feet for this year alone. That will mean more than 33 Carloads.” Mr. Stein is a pioneer in the West in the manufacture of batteryless radio sets. Beginning as a radio enthusiast and set builder twelve years ago, Mr. Stein has been forced by the growth of his business to move to larger quarters four times and now is planning con- struction of a modern four-story build- ing on the site of the present plant. “Our new home will be ready this fall,” Guy D. Elwell, general manager of the company explains. “When we get into it we will be able to fully meet the demand for our new electric re- ceiver. We believe our factory will be the only one in the world of its type.” RADI O| SUNDAY, AUGUST 14. LOCAL STATIONS. EASTERN STANDARD TIME.

TWO NOVEL QUESTIONS Although it is the good old summer- time and the slack period in many of the Government departments, the Fed- eral Radio Commission is working over- time in an effort to have things in as good shape as possible for the fall sea- son. Public hearings have been grind- ing along almost every day for several weeks, the sessions usually lasting until © 5 and 6 o'clock and one until almost 8 o'clock in the evening. Due to the dispatch with which these hearings have been handled by Judge E. QO, Sykes, the lawyer member of the com- mission, each hearing regardless of the length, heat or anything else, has been held on the scheduled day. Two entirely new questions were raised during the week. The first was, “Can protesting citizens keep a radio station from locating in their midst?” It was brought up in the case of WICC, Bridgeport, Conn., which following the approved policy of the commission de- cided to move from a congested section there to Easton, Conn., whose citizens violently protested the move. This has caused the commission to ask, “Where can a radio station be put where it will not be a nuisance?” The second novel question was the, case of WFMB, of Indianapolis, a small but well-established station, asking for one of the desirable Chicago wave lengths and more power. “The case was interesting in this re- spect,” said Thomas P. Littlepage, of Washington, attorney for WFBM. “Par- agraph 2, section 9, of the radio act, seems to intend that there be an equitable distribution of radio service allocated to the different States. Indi- ana has no high-powered radio station, and the Indianapolis Light & Power Co., which owns WF'BM, are making an ap- plication for a better wave length, in order to establish a good, first-class station. It is the first case of that kind by an already existing station that has come before the commission. A station at Gary, Ind., applied the other day for a wave length: It was, however, a new station, and has never been in operation before. WFBM was estab- lished in 1924, and it puts the issue up to the commission to determine whether they will allocate a good wave length to an Indiana station under the pro- vision of the act mentioned above.” BOARD INVESTIGATES SALES TALK BY RADIO The first charge of an alleged fraudu- lent sales talk over ‘the radio is being investigated by the Federal Trade Com- mission. W. C. Kalash, of the Omaha Tanning Co., dealers in harness, has been charged with broadcasting false statements in the following address he is charged with having made over the air: “Now, folks, I want you to understand that I am positively not selling any one else’s harness made from any one else’s leather; but I am only offering you harness which is made in my own tan- nery, from leather which I have tanned myself, and have watched the process of the tanning every step of the way from. the green hide to the finished leather here in my tannery. Send in your order early, because I may not be able to make harness fast enough toe Supply you. Last year I had to return a great many orders with your money, because I could not tan leather fast enough from which to make the har. ness to supply the demand, and because I absolutely refused to ship a single set of harness to any one that I did not make myself from my own leather here in my own tannery.” According to the complaint as set forth by the Federal Trade Commission these radio representations are false and misleading inasmuch as the Omaha Tanning Co. purchases from manufac- turers and others the greater portion of the merchandise which it sells, and of the merchandise which it manufac- tures only a very small proportion ig made from leather tanned in respond- ent’s factory. — ee SHORT WAVES A radio beacon wili be established at Winter-Quarter Shoal Lightship on the Virginia seacoast in the near future. Station WIAD claims to be the oldest station in Philadelphia now broadcast- ing. , Howard R. Miller, its owner, told the Radio Commission, excepting for the amplifier and the microphone, that he built the station entirely by him- self. The beginning of the era of interna- tional broadcasting, when radio will bring London to New York, Chicago and San Francisco, is believed to be al- most at hand. The first broadcasting of note was by the inventor, Lee De Forest, when in the winter of 1908-1909 he broadcast a program by Caruso from the Metropoli- tan Opera House. oe —_—_—=—_—} have a chance like this again for a long time!

“FLECTRIG RIL ENGINES. *STIL GOOD AFTER YER Never Seem to Wear Out, Report by New Haven Road Shows. 41 USED TWO DECADES Electrified railroading, a youngster in the transportation business of the country, gets a thorough checking-up| ji in a report that has just been issued on the first 20 years of electric power on the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railway. That company, which now has 45 route miles electrified from New York to New Haven and to Dan- bury, Conn., and which has the heav- jest man-line traffic of any electrified railroad of its length in the world, re- veals that even though electrification is costly to install, its locomotives never seem to go to the scrap heap. They do an astonishing amount of work year in and year out. Forty-one passenger locomotives have now been in service for the full 20 years. They average about 170 miles a day, though many of them, especially of late, have consistenly run over 400 miles a day and the total mileage for each locomotive thus far in its life is about 1,250,000 miles, The 36 origi- nal freight locomotives have averaged 46,000 miles a year and the original switchers 37,000 miles a year. This record is astonishingly good in a world of railroading that is accustomed to the wear and tear on steam engines. This report of unusual locomotive longevity moves Railway Electrical En- gineer to remark editorially that, re- markable as these locomotive perform- ances are on the dense-traffic New Haven Railroad, “Not all the best oper- ating records of electric locomotives are confined to the heavy traction lint of this country as may be seen in thé very satisfactory results obtained on the St. Gothard Railroad in Switzer- land. In 1924 this road succeeded in trans- porting 19,000 tons of merchandise in a single day—a record which was not expected to be broken. Nevertheless, on February 25, 1927, a total of 23,000 tons was moved by means of electric equip- ment. Had steam traction still been used 138 locomotives would have been required, but under electric operation only 84 were needed.” Electrographs a Electric railways in this country car- ried 230,000,000 more passengers last year than they did in 1925. South Africa is steadily converting her industrial power to. electricity. Whereas 10 years ago only 48 per cent of her industries were electrically op- erated, now the percentage is 56 ac- cording to a government census report just published. In London, the postmaster general, in control of radio, has issued permits for the operation of penny-in-the-slot radio. Headphone sets are to be in- stalled in booths somewhat like tele- phone booths in the United States.

The business meeting was short snappy and crammed with mat- ters of importance all in the elec- trical industry. e feature of the meeting, however, was the symposium on electric refrigeration, the most modern accomplishment of the elec- trical Alladin, who is continuously seeking out new means and methods of making this world a brighter. and happier place in which to live, with most of the drudgery taken out by his efforts, and most of the pleasures put n. This refrigeration-by-electricity dis- cussion was participated in by many of the most expert engineers and dis- tributors in this part of the country. Following are some of the opening talks which were given, and the names of the speakers—‘Kitchen Ice Machine a Boon to the Housewife,” by T. Lin- coln Townsend, of the National Elec- trical Supply Co.; “Food Preservation in Electrical Refrigeration” by O. C. Dorian of the Iroquois Company; “How to Sell Electrical Refrigeration to the Consumer,” by Charles M. Sears, of the Coldak Electric Co.; “Develop- ment of Electrical Refrigeration in the Home,” by C. L. McCray, of the Prigid- aire Co.; “Electrical Refrigeration and its Value to the Industry,” by G. E. Wagner, of the Kelvinator Co., of Barber & Ross; “Selling Electrical Refrigeration to the Dealer” by H. R. Carroll, of the Carroll Electric Co. Many others added valuable thoughts to this meeting. New mefhbers added to the Electric League recently included an active mem- ber in the nonunion contractors’ group. This is George E. Reynolds, of 1707 New- ton street northeast. Mr. Reynolds has for some time been operating in the contracting field in Washington. Other new members are K. N. Mount, better known as “Doc,” like our amiable presi- dent. “Doc” Mount is of the commer- cial office of the Potomac Electric Power Co. Harry R. Fowler is also a new associate member, being affiliated with Robert Smith, electrical contractor ac- tive member, of 326 South Carolina avenue southeast. Washington is taking its place among the leaders in Red Seal activity more and more each month, There are now a total of nearly 600 residences and apart- ments being wired or are wired from Red Seal specifications, thus assuring the ultimate occupants of these homes of the ultimate in electrical convenience. Outlets a-plenty are demanded these days by home lovers, for there are many electrical appliances—necessities to modern housekeeping and homemaking —which every family must have. At its meeting held Monday the ex- ecutive committee of the league voted to place in the hands of the president, L. T. Souder, the right and power to act as voting representative of the Wash- ington organization at the conference of Electrical League representatives at Association Island, on August 29 to September 1. Dean Gallagher, secre- tary-manager of the league, will act as alternate to Mr. Souder at the con- ference. The Electric League Red Seal contest is arousing much interest. Many re- sponses have been received from folks all over and all around Washington. Dr. E. C. Crittenden, chief of the elec- trical division of the Bureau of Stand- ards, has been added to the judging committee along with Mr. Paul Wooton. William L. Swormstedt, long a mem- ber of the league and now manager of the lamp department of the Dou- bleday Hill Co. has recently re- turned from a sales conference at the Edison Lamp Works of the General Electric Co., at Harrison, N. J. The conference lasted an entire week and was attended by representative lamp men from all parts of the country. The new store to be devoted to the electrical contracting and appliance business of Edward R. Bateman, at 2924 Fourteenth street northwest, is rapidly rounding into shape for formal open- ing. E. R. Bateman, proprietor of this business, is vice president of the league and chairman of its Red Seal planning committee. Dick Murphy, electrical contractor member of the league, who has recently come out of the hospital after an opera- tion, is deeply grateful to a fellow member of the league, Ralph P. Gib- son, for attentions and assistance by the latter during the illnes of the former. Fred Mitchell, of the E. C. Ernst Elec- trical Co., has reported completion of another large electrical installation, this time in the new John Barr office building at 912 Seventeenth street northwest. In this office there are two or three convenience outlets in every room as well as many special electrical features, among which is the lighting arrangement at the entrance of the building, which was planned by Mr. Mitchell and especially made for this location. The following is from a letter of the manager of the Metropolitan Electric League of Boston: “With a number of other leagues we watch with interest the growth of Red Seal in Washing- ton. We, of Boston, are much inter- ested in your weekly electrical page in The Washington Post.” A report of the Federation of Wom- en’s Clubs made after a very extensive survey, includes among much other in- teresting information, the following:: “While the Washington homemakers who live in wired homes do use elec- tricity more as a labor saver than home makers in other cities of the same size, there are still too many women using physical and nervous energy at work that could be done mechanically for a few cents an hour.” - The league maintained for the con- venience of the Washington public and the electrical industry, an office at Suite 700, the Vermont Building, 1103 Ver- mont avenue northwest, Main 1899. Dean Gallagher, manager, is in charge of this office and will be happy to serve in things electrical. Good Lighting Held Increase to Safety Good lighting increases safety. Four persons are accidentally injured every minute of the working day due to faulty lighting and two are accidentally killed every hour due to the same primary cause. An average of 100,000 workmen are out of work continually due to accidents traceable to inadequate lighting. At $1,000 per person this is a loss to the country of $100,000,000 annually.

RR ne ALL PAIGE MODELS | 01908 SHOWIN MANY NEW DEAS Design, Appointments and Chassis Are Presented With Improvements. ACICELERATION GREATER ON LESS GAS USED Engines Have Fine Finish and Hoods Are-Done in Dull Nickel. Paige engineers have developed many improvements in design, appointment and chassis of all the new models which are announced today. A new type manifold on the six-cylinder models in- creasés the efficiency of the motors by more evenly distributing the gasoline vapor to the combustion chamber. Tests have established that this in- creases efficiency of the cars from 5 to 10 per cent for acceleration, hill-climb- ing power and speed, with a corre- sponding decrease in gasoline consump- tion. The exhaust manifold is located above the intake manifold, improving the appearance of the engine and in- creasing its accessibility for tappet ad- justment. Other chassis improvements on the sixes are the smaller wheels on the 6-65 models, giving them a lower appear- ance, a Lanchester balancer on the 6-75 models producing smoothness of opera- tion, 4-point suspension. on the 6-65 and 6-75 models and oil filters and rubber engine mountings on all models. The lighting wires on all models are encased in nonmetallic tubing. New Finish On Engines. The mechanisms under the hoods of all of the cars in the Paige line present @ neat, finished appearance. The mo- tors are finished in black with black rubber hose connections. The mani- folds have a heat-resistant vitreous ‘THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, ‘AUGUST 14, 1927. ONE OF THE NEW PAIGE MODELS Many refinements are incorporated in these new cars, all calculated to add to the enjoyment of owner- ship, finish. All gasoline, oil and hydraulic brake lines visible under the hoods are finished in dull nickel. Spark and throttle rods, hose clamps and fittings are nickel-plated. The ignition wires are encased in a nickel-plated tube. New equipment on the eights con- sists of an air cleaner, gasoline strainer and radiator brace, the latter also being a new feature on the 6-65 and 6-75 models. New color combinations, applied by an advanced process, enhance the beauty of the cars and insure added durability to their finish. Lower set of the bodies, with rounded contours, contrasting mouldings and window re- veals, and other advances in design and trim, both interior and exterior, all together combine to produce a car of unusual beauty and grace. The striking color combinations are shown to their best advantage with the new Paige paint process. A beautiful Dover green is the basic color on both the 6-45 brougham and the 6-65 road- ster, the latter car having a long, grace- ful, speedy appearance which marks it as one of the outstanding roadster models of the year. A variety of grays, blues and other greens, employed as the predominating colors through the line, are set off with contrasting reveals and mouldings. A new instrument board of combination lacquer and wal- nut finish, built-in arm rests, high grade hardware, trim and upholstery, improved paneling and flap pockets are other features worthy of note. Still HAY GHOST’ NEW SPORT CAR OF FALCON MOTORS Announcement Made of Addi- tion to Six-Cylinder Knight Engine Automobile. ROOM FOR 4 PASSENGERS Announcement of the introduction of a new sport model speedster—the Gray Ghost—was made this week by the Fal- con Motors Corporation at the com- pany’s executive offices in Detroit. This addition to the Falcon-Knight line of six-cylindered Knight engined cars fol- lows close upon the introduction of its other models during the past four months. The exterior of the new model pre- sents a highly pleasing appearance. The color combination of silver gray with darker gray: fenders harmonizes with the interior upholstering of gray grain leather. It is designed to accommodate four passengers, two in the spacious front compartment and two in the rumble seat, which is built into the rear deck. One of the exclusive features is the waterproof cape top provided over the rumble seat. This cover, like the top over the front compartment, is collapsi- ble and can easily be raised or lowered in a moment to protect the occupants from rain or sun. The equipment in- cludes top boot. Interior appointments and equipment carry out the tone of smartness, the floor boards being alumnium-covered; special nickeled gear shift lever and emergency brake; a concealed compart- ment in the door, with lock; con- trol of headlights on steering column at driver’s finger tips; rubber pedal covers; special finished instrument board, which contains in addition to the ordli- nary equipment, gasoline gauge, moto- meter gauge and clock. Montmartre of Paris Attracts Negro Race Paris, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Paris has a “Harlem” of its own. Gradually the large negro population that h1s poured in upon the French capital since the war has gravitated toward Montmartre. The “colored boys” and negresses who call Paris home have come to France from’ many places. Some are from America, others from Africa, and many from Martinique and the French West Indies. “Charleston City” is the name Paris Ca icacians have given to the sec- tion of Montmartre where the negroes live. Many of the members of the col- ony are dancers, jJazz-band musicians, door openers and messengers in estab- lishments that go in for red and gold uniforms. CHANDLER OFFERS LOWER BODY LINES ONAL 1220 AUTOS ‘New Style, Full-Crown Fen- | ders and Brilliant Coloring in Models Shown. PIKES PEAK PRINCIPLE \IS RETAINED IN ROYAL Many Mechanical Features Found in Car; Interior Fit- tings of Historic Design. Of interest to the motor car buying public is the announcement by Chand- ler of its complete new line of 1928 motor cars on the new Royal Eight, Big Six and Special Six chassis. The most noticeable changes with the| various Chandler offerings are lower body lines, new style, full crown fenders, brilliant color combinations and a newly designed radiator which incorporates a new Chandler emblem worked out in rich colored enamel. The notable Pike’s Peak power prin- ciple, which has given Chandler re- markable performance attributes, is re- tained throughout the Royal Eight, Big Six and Special Six series. “One shot” automatic lubrication of the chassis. Just press a plunger to lubricate the entire car. Air Cleaner in Carburetor. Purifying the air as it enters through the carburetor is an air cleaner which eliminates all dirt and dust from all possible abrasive qualities from the motor. An old filter, through which all oil circulates, thereby cleaning and length- ening the life of the lubricant, and preventing any possible dirt and sedi- ment in the oil from reaching the bear- ings is also included. The new oil fil- ter, in addition to its cleansing proper- ties, lengthens the life of the power plant and makes it unnecessary for the Chandler driver to change his oil every 500 miles. A motorstat insures a normal run- ning motor temperature at all times.

Larger bearings and a statically and dynamically balanced crankshaft make the improved motors practically vibra- tionless and remarkably Smooth at all speeds. A front flywheel designed to balance the rear flywheel also contributes a notably smoother power-flow to the various Chandler-built motors, and eliminates all trace of possible torque vibration. : The improved high-pressure lubrica- tion to all camshaft, crankshaft and connecting rod bearings, together with the “one shot” system of positive chassis lubrication, makes the new models literally ride on oil. New Shackle Silerrcer, Other features of the Royal Eight, Big Six and Special Six series include & patented self-oiling shackle silencer which regulates the tension on shackles and exerts a gentle, snubbing motion to the springs when traveling Over rough, bumpy roads. A ball-bearing steering gear designed by Chandler engineers to give flawless, feather-touch steering, with four- wheel brakes and balloon tire equip- ment, has also been incorporated. In addition to its remarkable steer- ing ease, the new type Chandler steer- ing gear has the further advantages of eliminating the transmission of all road shocks to the steering wheel while traveling*at fast speed over rough pavement. An improved manifold, designed by Chandler engineers and built complete in the big Chandler factories in Cleve- land, is also a notable feature. The unique design of this manifold insures perfect distribution of gas to all six cylinders at all speeds and eliminates entirely any tendency of the raw fuel to “puddle” or flow into any one or two cylinders improperly in excess amounts. A novel feature of the new enlarged manifold is the exclusive com- mon center hot-spot chamber with three distinct passages from two cylinders each. This feature does away with all back-pressure reaction of any one ex- haust upon the other, and contributes notably to the smooth, even power- flow which is characteristic of the new Chandler models. Formation of Carbon Cut. A new type of cylinder head incor- porating advantages unique in com- bustion chamber shapes, reduces to a very marked degree the formation of carbon and goes a great way to elimi- nate any tendency of carbon “ping” or knock. Four-wheel, external contracting brakes are standard equipment with all New Chandler models. 3 In addition to extensive mechanical features, Many noval body refinements LLL ES LT TE EE ISCO IE PL IEEE LIN have been incorporated in the various Chandler models. -The closed bodies are lower and made more pleasingly graceful to the eye by sweeping stream- line lines, neatly striped body mold- ing and beads, and by flowing curves on the upper back deck structure. All models carry the refined and dis- tinctive tripaneled, full-nickeled radia- tor design—a distinctive Chandler mark. All closed models in the Royal Eight, Big Six and Special Six series also have the full vision and complete ventila- tion advantages of the perfected clear- vision windshield, which is quickly and easily adjustable to suit the driver's convenience. A distinctive new instru- ment board graces the dash of the ma- jority of models which has the various instruments pleasingly grouped under glass on a slightly raised panel of grace- ful design. The entire board is softly lighted by an adjustable light to ac- cord with the driver's preference for illumination. New interior fittings and hardware of rich historical design and excellent taste grace the harmonious interior en- sembles of the various closed -models. A significant advance has been made in the design of the cushioning springs (which are beneath the well-padded upholstery) on all the models. OIL IN ENGINE PICKS UP FINE PARTICLES Filter Should Be _ Tested Regularly, Says A. C. Company Engineer. If you: could see what goes on inside your automobile engine you'd be amazed at what happens to the oil. As the oil circulates through the bearings and moving parts, it is constantly pick- ing up fine particles of metal, bits of dirt and other abrasive material, ac- cording to C. W. McKinley, research engineer of the AC Spark Plug Co., who Says: “To prevent serious wear and other trouble in the engine, this abrasive mat- ter is being constantly removed from the oil by the.oil filter. The filter works automatically and without atten- tion, for long periods of time; and, be- cause of its purifying action, the same oil can be used for perhaps 3,000 miles. “But remember this: When, after long use, the filtering unit becomes filled with dirt, sluge, &c., taken from the oil, it can no longer do the job as it should. Therefore, be sure to have your oil filter tested from time to time.” TOES SLE, OI IESE EEA ET CCE CUO TRC A com VER A YEAR BALTIMORE ORGANIZES AMBULANCE SERVICE Four Studebakers Form Nu- cleus for Fire and Police Emergency Fleet. FORESIGHT IS REWARDED Although the majority of American cities have gone to great lengths in organizing motor transportation for fire and police departments, the city of Baltimore; Md., is the first to in- stall a complete and separate automo- tive ambulance service. The recent adoption of this service has caused considerable discussion among civic and life insurance executives and Bal- timore officials have been rewarded with much favorable comment for their foresight. More than a year ago the city of Baltimore purchased a Studebaker am- bulance This was put in operation in conjunction with central fire come panies and police stations.- So. satis- factory was the service that city offi- cials decided to install an ambulance service adequate to meet the demands of the entire city. As a result of this decision three new Studebaker Bellevue ambulances were recently added to Baltimore’s automo- tive equipment. Today the four Stude- bakers are the basis on which the en- tire ambulance service is founded. This service is most complete and far-reach- ing in its work. The ambulance call number has been printed on the covers of Baltimore's new telephone directories. A direct wire has been laid between police and fire department headquarters. A po- liceman on any of Baltimore’s streets may summon an ambulance by merely telephoning from a corner patrol box. The samg arrangement applies to fire alarm boxes. New Fishing Port Blessed by Priests Lorient, France, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—A new fishing port has been opened at Lorient with a religious ceremony. Clergy went out in small boats ‘and blessed the sea, the big trawlers and all the newly built works and plants, invoking good catches and prosperity. — = rem OLD—AND STILL A YEAR AHEAD Overwhelming Proof ow backs up every Whippet claim More leg-room than any other light car First light car offere ing 4-wheel brakes as national standard -=Z@ |: 120,000 owners have tested Whippet perform- ance in 400,000,000 miles of driving Fourteen months ago, claims made for the Whippet seemed startling, revolutionary—almost unbelievable. Today more than 120,000 owners know they are true. Such characteristic Whippet advantages as greater gasoline mileage, 4-wheel brakes, low center of gravity, increased roomie ness and higher speed, have been put to the test of over 400,000,000 miles of driving. It is important to remember this proved superiority of the Whippet at this time.

> IGRWAYS ARE OW ~ aDOpTED TO NEEDS ~ OF VFHLE TRAFFIC Old Order Reversed, Declares T. R. Agg, of lowa State College. TIRES WEAR AWAY ROAD SURFACE, HE ASSERTS a Says Wheels Subject Paving to Impacts of Varying Magnitude. “For a long time after the motor ve- hicle became the predominant factor in highway traffic, the attitude of highway | officials was one of insigfcence that the vehicle must adapt itself to the high- way. Now every well organized high- | way department is trying to adapt its) highway system to the traffic,” writes Prof. Thomas R. Agg, of Iowa State Col- | lege, in the Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers for August. “So| far as finances permit, construction and | maintenance programs are based on the | adequate accommodation of present and prospective users of the highways. “This new conception of. the func- tion of our highway systems has made it imperative that highway engineers obtain a clear understanding of the in-| terrelation of the highway and the ver hicle that uses it; of what the vehicle does to the road and what the does to the vehicle.” Some of the things the vehicle does to the road, according to Prof. Agg, are: The tires wear away the road surface, the wheel loads distoft the road sur- face, and the wheels subject it to im- | pacts of varying magnitude What Road Does. Some of the things the road surface does to the vehicle are: It offers a re- | sistance to the movement of the ve-| hicle, wears away the tire tread rubber, | imparts reaction impacts to the vehi-| cle, the highway grade may affect the | time of travel and the fuel consump-| tion, slipperiness frequently contributes | to accidents, and dust and mud cause deterioration of the vehicle. “These interrelations between the ve- “Moe amd the road,” continues Prof. | Agg, “are the factors that afford starting point in the design of a ro, way, but the design that is dictated by the theoretical considerations involve | must often be modified to meet such practical considerations as available funds, topography, cost of right of way, | and especially the lethargy of public of- | ficlals toward that which is new or| abstruse. “The cost of any type of road 1s/| really the aggregate of the expenditure | required to build that type of surface} and keep it in a condition of maximum | serviceability over an indefinite period | of years, perpetually if so desired. This| cost includes original cost and inter-| est thereon, maintenance and interest | thereon and depreciation, each of which factors must include a proper | road | a ’ part of the cost of operation of the! highway system, or overhead.

Frank Baum has left for points un- known on a vacation, but we imagine that the Province of Quebec is one of the objectives of his trip if not the sole one, as he had a detailed map of the roads in that direction. the road could be maintained in good condition. The justification for road improvement must therefore basis other than that of road funds. “It is believed to be possible to show that, under certain conditions, road improvement saves in transportation costs, that is, it creates wealth. If any road project produces wealth in excess of its cost, the necessary expenditure, no matter how great, is good business. The wealth produced by road improve- ment may be direct, in the form of lowered transportation costs, or indi- rect as the result of improved social and educational conditions. “Possibilities for lowering the cost of highway transportation are of two Kinds. One is by road improvement whereby the cost of vehicle operation is reduced to the economic minimum, in so far as those costs are influenced This is the task of the highway engineer. ‘he other is by its life is lengthened and the operating Hence, the future trend of highwe- transpor- tation depends largely vr»o> these two great bodies of technical experts.” Z Buick Cadillac ..

GEAR RATIO IS LOWER One of the most important problems of the automotive engineer today is to design motors which will permit greater gasoline economy. Experiments along this line are constantly being made and remarkable successes are being at- tained. The latest claim of unusual economy is made by Dodge Brothers for their new four-cylinder cars which are being advertised as capable of going approxi- mately 25 miles on a gallon of gasoline at a speed of 265 miles per hour. Raphael Semmes, of Semmes Motor Co., Dodge Brothers. dealer, states that since the new cars were introduced practically everyone who has examined . , a 14, 1927. me —_ a them has commented upon this fea- ture. f “Several features in the cars’ design and construction are responsibie for this exceptional fuel economy,” Mr. Semmes states. “One of the most im- portant is the lighter weight of the cars. Naturally with less weight for the engine to move a considerable sav- ing in gasoline is accomplished. “Another contribution to economy is made by the gear ratio which is lower than on former Dodge Brothers cars. This means that the engine makes fewer revolutions in driving the car a mile than were formerly required, thereby bringing about another sav- ing. “Improvements in carburetion, bet- ter manifolding, a redesigned cylinder head and faster entry of the gas into the combustion chamber, announced earlier in the summer as important characteristics of this Dodge Brothers motor, also result in the achievement of operating economy. “The design of the carburetor was improved when the new motor was in- troduced .and its location changed so that the gas has a shorter distance to travel from the carburetor to the com- bustion chamber. The gas goes from the carburetor through the intake manifold which is heated by the ex- haust and all liquid fuel which passes over this ‘hot spot’ is completely -vap- orized. “The cylinder head for the new mo- tor was redesigned and is now of such tr* - » ee ny a; — : ‘ r « ~Aa 4 . a a’ me ie coéusios PTO ON LN al A i i tte VELIE POINTS SAVINGS IN MOTOR INDUSTRY Production Efficiency and Manufacturing Precision Given as Factors. Increased efficiency in automobile production plus finer precision manu- facturing in this industry in the last three or four years have lowered the upkeep cost on automobiles to a de- gree which saves American motorists millions annually, according to W. L. Velie, president of the Velie Motors | Corporation, Moline, Il. “It is impossible,” said Mr. Velie, “to | estimate this saving very closely. How- ever, one or two factors contributing | to lower upkeep will serve to show what tremendous strides the automo- | tive industry has taken in this direc- Shape that more power is obtained | from each explosion than was possible with the old head. “These factors, in addition to con- tributing to greater gasoline economy, are responsible for a very large increase in power and acceleration.” tion. There is gasoline consumption, for example. Every manufacturer is bent on improvements which will mean more miles per gallon for his particu- lar car. Engineers at the Velie plant are constantly striving toward this end. Many cars might be mentioned which consumed a gallon of gasoline to every 9 or 10 miles five years ago which to- day deliver 18 or 20 to the gallon. Tires offer another conspicuous example. Their cost is approximately what it was some years ago—yet where once they gave only 5,000 or 6,000 miles of wear at best, today it is not unusual to have tires last from 15,000 to 20,000 miles. “Moreover, precision manufacture has increased the efficiency of motors and decreased repair bills. Full pressure | lubrication, another factor in endur- ance, incorporated in the Velie as well ds in all the other better makes of cars. permits a film of oil between all moving parts and greatly increases ‘long life’ in a car. Vibration has been large- ‘ly eliminated at all speeds, and thus another factor which shortened car life has been conquered. In fact, the car |of today is undoubtedly a far greater value for the money than the -car of five years ago, and each year sees this tendency even more pronounced.

RELIGION PREDICTED AS FIRST-PAGE NEWS Chicago Rector Sees Public Interest in the Faults of Others Lagging. Chicago, Aug. 13 (A.P.).—Front-page news in another quarter of a century will consist mostly of developments in religion and science, believes the Rev. Charles T. Hull, rector of St. Paul’s-by- the-Lake Episcopal Church, of Chicago. Dr. Hull has made a hobby of study- ing the trend of the news. He asserts the newspaper-reading public “is turn- ing slowly but surely from considera- tion of the faults of others to an in- terest. in the things that have made others achieve and succeed. “Psychology and modern education,” he says, “are teaching us those virtues that we desire to possess and to give our attention only to those qualities that we care to imitate. The proverbial old gossip is what she is because of the faults of other people.” ones | TREASURY Andrew W.

She fell asleep im- mediately after getting in bed, and was some time later awakened by the sound of shots. There was the thud of hurrying feet in the dark. “3 xe % : > = x Ax pore > » > “as SOSH Sonera Sah oe EOPLE who have observed p only from a great distanée, : they must all be delicate, like contraptions likely to collap moment, would change their mi airplanes nd think ossamer- ey ° 4 C. e 2 oe AO Fd err hs tery o> e . “ a ¢ . o4* an . p0 e ge eh keene “built like a battleship.” The machine is a : made of metal throughout.

Both were at large at the time of the mur- der, and the trial, having escaped from jail after being caught through the cleverness and Both were classed as among the most desperate criminals of the hew Southwest. courage of Bishop. Going even further back into the lurid past of the two-gun border detective, Mrs. Bishop’s attorneys brought up the old matter of the Osage murders, which shocked the Southwest years ago. A band of cleyer and utterly unscrupulous criminals got members of their own clique to marry Osage Indian girls, virtually all of them Government wards, and most of them heiresses, as a result of the discoveries in the oil fields. of the criminal white men were killed, and Then Indians standing in the way the whites achieved “marriage rights” In great oil fortunes, Bishop was a deputy marshal when yn) Osage murders were committed, and worked for five years on the case before he ordered an arrest. But when he did, he was ready, and secured several convictions. Mrs. Bishop told the court, in her own strange defense, that Luther had informed her he was not through with the Osage cases and expected other and startling developments. Try as they would, counsel for the prosecution were unable to stop the introduction of such evi- dence, or to take away from its effect upon the jury. a Old “buddies” of Bishop even told of the historic battle between the two-gun detective and Al Spencer, the gray eagle of Oklahoma banditry for fifteen years, in which Spencer was the loser. In 1923, Al and four of his temporary lieutenants robbed a train near Bartlesville, Okla. It was the last of the Oklahoma train robberies. And it was staged along regular movie-thriller lines, The men of the train crew were surprised and overpowered, The safe was blown. A currency shipment to an Oklahoma bank constituted the plunder, It was about $125,000. Bishop headed the posse that ran Al down near Bartlesville, and Bishop and he dueled to the death—the ban- dit’s death. The defense in Mrs. Bishop’s trial pointed out that the men who assisted Spencer the only time he ever had accomplices were still at large, and supposedly revengeful. Surprised and dismayed by the verdict ac- quitting Mrs. Bishop, the State of Oklahoma has made no further effort as yet to run down the border detective’s slayer. In spite of what her lawyers said, you can’t indict a “criminal element;” you must indict an indi- vidual. And the authorities, very frankly, haven't an idea in the world as to who it is they ought to indict. Maybe the mystery will always be one.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, FES Seis hes tase eS i ‘ Bronze Statue of “Bachelor President” to Be Placed In Beautiful Meridian Park as Soon as Proper Setting For Memorial Can Be Prepared Under Direction Of Fine Arts Commission By NANCY NORTH. HE imposing bronze statue of James Buchanan, just completed, will be unveiled in the near future in Meridian Hill Park on the beauti- ful site appropriated by Congress. The National Commission of Fine Arts are pending their best efforts to convert this long neglected but ideally located park into a landscape of beauty second to none in the country, and which will be a credit to any capital of the world. The statue and the surrounding stone architecture was the be- quest of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, his niece, who died in Baltimore in 1903. She directed in her will that the executors secure from Congress a suitable site and permission to erect in Washington a statue of her dis- tinguished uncle, appropriating a liberal sum for the purpose. This statue, which was made in Baltimore by Hans Schuler, one of the most distinguished sculptors of the country, is a splendid likeness of President Buchanan, iu features, figure and pose, at the time of his administration as Chief Executive of the United States. James Buchanan was 66 years of age when elected President, coming next in point of age at inauguration, to our oldest President, William Henry Harrison, who was ~ 68 when-he entered the office. James Buchanan was born at Stony Batter, at the foot of the eastern range of the Alle- ghenies, in Pennsylvania, April 23, 1791. At 14 he entered Dickinson Colleg at Carlisle. Deyoting himself to his studies, at 21 (in 1812), he was admitted to the bar. In 1829 he was elected to Congress and retained his seat for ten years. It was then that he gave utterance to the characteristic words: “If I know myself, I am a politician neither of the East or West, North or South. I therefore shall avoid any expression, the direct tendency of which must be to create sectional jealous- ies and at length disunion, that worst and last of all political calamities.’”’ These words are interesting and significant in the light of succeeding, events. In 1832 Buchanan was appointed Minister to Russia, and on returning to America he entered the Senate, When Polk was elected President, Buchanan was appointed Minister to England, and it was while in England that .the movement in his favor as President took form. But when he saw the direction toward which parties were tending, and the growing feeling between the sections, he shrank from it. He wrote many letters protesting against the use of his name as a candidate, but In spite of the protest, he was made the nominee, and was elected in 1856. His presidential career closed with the rumblings of war. He retired to his country residence, Wheatland, near Lancaster, Pa. He united with the Presbyterian Church according to his promise to Dr. Gorley, then of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. At the age of 72 years, on June 1, 1863, he died of rheumatic gout, and was buried at Wheatland. Se ee a ae HE name of President Buchanan can <3 hardly be mentioned without referring to his beloved niece, Harriet Lane, who pre- sided in the White House during his admin- istration and who was one of the most popular mistresses that the Executive Mansion has ever had. She was known as one of the most beautiful and accomplished women in the United States. The beaux of the Army and Navy bowed down to her, diplomats from a ‘dozen foreign courts strove together for her smiles and the American people, without re- gard to party, admired and worshiped her and gave her the name of “‘The Golden Beauty of the White House” as she stood beside the courtly, gray-haired old gentleman, the President. (The name always clung to her in her distinguished beauty of later years.) Miss Lane was present in England when Ox- ford College conferred the degree of doctor of laws upon Minister Buchanan and Alfred Tennyson and the students cheered her en masse. She was said to have attracted more at- tention and admiration than any other Ameri- can girl who had ever been presented to the Court of St. James. She was made much of by Queen Victoria and was presented with gifts and mementos by the royal family on her departure for America. The Prince of Wales afterward visited the United States as guest of President Buchanan. He was, at the time, in his twentieth year, and Miss Lane could not have been much older. She was ‘then mistress of the White House and the week which the prince and his suite spent there must have been one of the fullest weeks of that eventful period of her life. ‘ The time was one round of receptions. Every evening, with one exception, President Buchanan gave a dinner, at which dis- tinguished people were invited to meet the prince, and Miss Lane also gave an invited reception, introducing his royal highness to the society of the Capital. At the dinners the English Minister and his attaches were present and the minister, Lord Lyons, gave a dinner at the legation, which Miss Lane and the President attended. One of the outstand- ing features of the occasion was an excursion PRESIDENT JAMES BUCHANAN. to Mount Vernon, in which the party went on the dispatch boat, Harriet Lane, one of the revenue cutters belonging to the Treasury De- partment, The prince never forgot his visit to America and shortly after leaving the United States he sent to President Buchanan a portrait of himself, with the accompanying letter penned by his royal highness on the shores of Palestine, where he was traveling, which reads: Jaffa, March 20, 1862. Dear Mr. Buchanan: Permit me to request that you will accept the accom- panying portrait as a slight mark of my grateful recollection of the hospitable reception and agreeable visit at the White House on the occasion of my tour in the United States. Believe me that the cordial welcome which was then vouchsafed to me by the American people and by you as their chief can never be effaced from my memory. — I venture to ask you, at the same time, to remember me kindly to Miss Lane, and believe me, dear Mr. Buchanan, yours very truly, ALBERT EDWARD.

Mr. Buchanan was very careful in the bringing up of Miss Lane. He directed her education, sending her first to school at Lancaster, where he lived; then to a private school at Charleston and, finally, ‘to the Georgetown Convent. He wrote regularly to her during her school days. His letters were full of news, gossip and fun and, at the same time, of much good advice to the young girl a3 to her conduct. Here, for instance, is an extract from one written at about the time Harriet Lane entered her teens: ‘‘Washington, February 16, 1842.—My Dear Harriet: Your letter afforded me much pleasure. There is no wish nearer my heart than that you should become an amiable and intelligent woman, and I am rejoiced to learn that you still continue at the head of your class. You can render yourself very dear to me by your conduct; and I anticipate with pleasure the months which, I trust in heaven, we will pass together after the adjournment of Congress. I expect to be in Lancaster for a week or ten days about the lst of April, when I hope to see you in good health and receive favorable reports of your behavior. * * * Believe me to be your very affec- tionate uncle. May heaven bless you. “JAMES BUCHANAN.” His letters to Miss Lane covered every variety of subjects and, could they, have been saved and published, they would have made a most interesting volume. Here is another letter, written about*a month later: ‘‘Lancaster, March 29, 1842:—My Dear Harriet: It is one of the first desires of my heart that youeshould become an amiable and good girl. Education and accomplishments are very important, but they sink into insig- nificance when compared with the proper gov- ernment of the heart and temper. How all your friends and relatives would love you— how proud and happy I should be to acknowl- edge and cherish you as an object of deep affection could I say she is kind in heart, amiable in temper and behaves in such a manner as to secure the affection and esteem of all around her. I now cherish the hope that ere long this may be the case. What a long list of studies you are engaged upon. The number would seem too great for any common intellect; but it would seem that you manage them all without difficulty. “At a dinner table at Washington during the last session a wager was made that not a person at the table could name all] the muses, and the wager was won. Had you been one of the company, the result would doubtless have been different. I presume that the muses and graces are great favorites with you. “Attend diligently to your studies, but, above all, govern your heart and your conduct. Most affectionately, “JAMES BUCHANAN.” J * * “ T was owing toa mistake that some of the ‘ most interesting papers connected with Mr. Buchanan’s career were burned by _his executors. They were the papers relating to his love affair. The full story of the matter was told in the package of papers, carefully tied by himself. But when he originally made it up he had written upon it a line stating that it should be burned without being opened. Afterward he gave directions to his biographer that the package be opened and the truth as to the tragic episode of his career be told in the story of his life. The executors, who first found the package, how- ever, burned it before they had realized what Mr. Buchanan had said to his biographer about it. The only thing that can now be certainly known about the matter is that when Mr. Buchanan was a young man he fell in love with a beautiful girl, the daughter of Robert Coleman, one of the wealthiest citi- zens of the place. After a time they were engaged. Then there was a lovers’ quarrel, and the young lady wrote a letter breaking off the engagement. Soon after writing the letter she went to Philadelphia for a short visit, and during her stay there she died.

Wher he was 72 years old, just. before his death, he referred again to the matter, showing that he still felt deeply concerning it, and stating that the truth:would be told after his death. ¥* * -_ ~ OME: years ago, at a dinner given in S honor of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston by a foreign nrinister during one of her visits in Washington after widowhood, the HARRIET LANE, taken while she was official hostess at the White House for her uncle, President Buchanan, gentlemen recalled old times, old friends and White House reminiscences as they smoked in the library. ‘I can tell you a story of the most lovely lady the White House ever boasted of,’’ said an old white-haired dip- lomat. “Once upon a time I knew a little girl 11 years old, who was as wild as a deer; grace- ful and gay, full o@ pranks, capers and gen- erous big-hearted nonsense generally.

Though she was born an aristocrat, she was most absurdly unconscious of pro- priety. You never saw a young thing so tall. and straight, and with a head like a statue, and her hair exactly the color of yellow corn. Her long braids hung far below her waist. “Her uncle, with whom she lived, gave a grand dinner one day to some foreign friends, and being well acquainted with them all, I was honored with an invitation. We were waiting dinner as we chatted in the drawing room, and I was wondering tha‘ the pretty little mistress of the house failed to appear. Miss Harriet’s uncle was very proud of her. I heard him remark to Senor I ‘I wish you to meet my little adopted daughter. She is quite a remarkable ‘ “Just here he had stepped to the window as if looking for her. Suddenly returning, he said: ‘Excuse me a moment. I—I will return—soon,’ and hurried out of a side door to the piazza. I followed him. He hastily called the cook, the butler, ‘the coachman, and returned to the house flushed, excited, angry, leaving me to settle the trouble. In time, Miss Lane entered the drawing room dressed in a charming gown of pale blue, her bonny hair fastened with ribbons like the sky, her violet eyes as dark as a She was quite the mistress of her home, and ready to be presented to her uncle’s stately guests. Everybody ‘was delighted with Miss Harriet. ‘And have you enjoyed this lovely day?’ asked one of the distinguished men. ‘Oh, ‘very much, indeed, thank you’—but, catching her uncle’s eye, she blushed down to her throat. Now, this is what Mr. Buchanan and I had seen before dinner: ‘“‘Down the main street of Lancaster, Miss Harriet turning a wheelbarrow full of wood! Her hat was hanging on one side of her head, her face was as scarlet as a poppy, her young arms were braced long and straight, her bare hands grasping the handles of the wheel- barrow like those of a peasant: girl of Italy. “When the guests had departed and we three, Mr. Buchanan, his niece and I, were sitting before the open fire that night, .the courtly old gentleman asked in a despairing tone: ‘Harriet, what were you doing when I saw you?’ “ ‘Why, Uncle James, I was on my way to old black Tibatha’s with a load of wood, be- cause it was growing so cold. She really had not a stick.’” ~ Description of the Buchanan Memorial is contained in the following letter to the Fine Arts Commission: Lawrason Riggs, 632 Equitable Building, Baltimore, Md. H. P. Caemmerer, Esq., Commission of Fine Arts, Washington, D, C. . My dear Mr. Ca@émmerer: The blue prints of the Buchanan Memorial are on file in the office of the commission of fine arts and from them you can secure all the details of design and size. | The over all length-of the platform of the memorial is 83 feet 3 inches. The greatest depth of the platform at the central point in front of the portrait statue is 26 feet 1 inch. The height of the wall which- flanks the central panel is 10 feet 8 inches. The central panel which forms the background for the bronze figure of President Buchanan is 24 feet 10 inches high above grade and the width of the panel is 14 feet 5 inches. The sculpture included in the memorial is a central portrait statue of President Buchanan in bronze 9 feet 6 inches in height. The end figures symbolical of law and diplomacy are 8 feet 6 inches in height. It is proposed to erect the archi- tectural part of-the memorial in granite and the two end figures above referred to are both carved in granite. The portrait statue of President Buchanan, as stated above, is to be in bronze. Many months ago, after several con- ferences with members of the com- mission of fine arts, we decided that we would- not proceed with the erection of this memorial until the lower garden of Meridian Hill Park, in which the me- morial is to be placed, had been com- pleted to an extent which would give ap- propriate and dignified surroundings to the memorial. The plaster cast of the full-size por- trait figure of President Buchanan is completed and the bronze casting can be made without delay. The two end figures in granite are nearly completed and will require but a few more weeks’ work. In answer to your direct question as to when when I am planning to erect the monument I can only say that it will be undertaken just as soon as the site as- signed for it is put in what seems to us proper and suitable condition. With kind personal regards, yours very truly, LAWRASON RIGGS. ; om. ARMY RUNS ITS OWN RAILWAY AT INFANTRY CAMP. One of the few narrow-gauge railroads - now in active service in the United States is run by the Army at the Infantry school reservation at Fort Benning, Ga. The road was constructed in 1920 to handle passengers, supplies and material over the 99,000-acre reservation. At that time, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, the roadbed was rough and unsettled, the equipment and motive power were in crude condition and wrecks and engine failures were frequent. Im- provements have been steadily made until now the system has the latest type of equip- ment and is efficiently operated under the direction of the fort’s quartermaster depart- ment. | POULTRY VICTIMS OF FLOODS, Human beings, generally, are the chief re- cipients of aid from the Red Cross in times of disaster, but in the recent floods on the Mississippi, animals were rescued and cared for in great numbers, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. At Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, La., the largest temporary hen yard in the United States was constructed to feed 100.,- 000 chickens driven from their roosts by the flood waters. The feathered refugees were fed by the Red Cross, as were 30,000 hogs, 10,000 mules and some 30,000 nead of cat- tel. One of the problems arising from the work was to find the owners. BE CAREFUL. .

In preceding installments of this narrative Mr. Richardson describ- ed his experiences in “the Mexican Revolution against President Fran- cisco Madero, who had deposed Porfirio Diaz. When Madero was assassinated and Huerta became president, Richardson and Salazar, the general commanding the rebel army, switched their allegiance ta the government. Their chief op- ponent was Pancho Villa, who com- manded the rebel forces.

PART FIVE. Thrilling Days and Nights Near Vera Cruz. FTER delivering Salazar’s messages to A President Huerta I loafed around Mexico City for a while until I woke up with a start one day and realized I was just about broke. I tried to raise funds by risking what little I had left on roulette, but Lady Luck was a long way from sitting on my shoulder that day, and I was cleaned out. There didn’t seem much else to do but sign up with the nearest revolution, when we got word that the American forces landed at Vera Cruz. In Mexico City at the American Embassy they had two Maxim machine guns, but no one except Capt. Burnside, the military at- tache, knew anything about.sthem, and he was 80 busy with a million other things that he didn’t have time to take charge of them. As soon as word reached the capital that the hated Americans had landed at Vera Cruz the war fever ran high. Americans stayed in- doors. Crazy mobs of yelling Mexicans swayed through the streets, waving bottles, chanting La Paloma, and eddying around the American Embassy. Of course, there were a great many Ameri- cans there for protection against the Mexicans outside, who were all too willing to storm the place with one wild rush. Just when matters appeared most interesting I was asked to take charge of the machine guns and about 300 Krag rifles. I distributed the guns—most of them to American newspaper men—and was about to give word to open fire on a crowd swooping up the front steps when federal soldiers suddenly appeared and drove the mob back. If the soldiers had been 30 seconds later I hate to think of the carnage due to be caused. Tracy Travels Incognito. The federals then took over the embassy. They were very courteous, asked us to please relinquish all our arms, and assured us that was the only way of avoiding serious trouble. Charge d’Affaires O’Shaugnessy was. ex- tremely diplomatic with them and told us to let them have their own way, which was all we could do anyhow. That night the charge d’affaires was given his papers and permitted with all his staff to board a train for Vera Cruz, Nelson O’Shaughnessy just before he left tried to have me taken along with him, but the Mexicans wouldn’t permit it. They in- sisted that as I was not registered as a mem- ber of the embassy entourage, I could be They took great pains to point out that I had to stay in town, but I could see through their game. Huerta had simply taken advantage of a chance to get me, and get me right, Having nothing else to do, I went down to the station to see the embassy party off. No sooner had the train pulled out than an Eng- lishman (I can’t give his name because he’s doing a thriving business in Mexico today) came up to me with the news that federal sol- diers were parked all over the embassy ready to put me in jail as soon as I appeared back there. He‘had an automobile there at the station with him. Being at a loss for a definite plan of action, we got in his car, drove around Mexico City all that night, and spent the next day hiding ina garage. I was just about to begin a horse-stealing raid to gather mounts for an open dash to Vera Cruz when my English friend struck an idea. He brought me to another Englishman, a friend of his, who explained that he and his wife had passports for himself and his wife and permission for them both to go to Vera Cruz. He was very anxious for his wife to get out of the danger zone, but didn’t feel that he could afford to leave his business interests in Mexico City. He greeted with acclaim the proposition that I use his name and passports, and in exchange offer protection to his wife. The Englishman’s wife and I soon started out. We boarded the train safely, but once on I grabbed the very last seat’ so no one could get behind me. Then I wrapped a blanket around me, pulled my hat way down over my face and made believe I was asleep, although I never felt less like it. I had two big pistols on me and lots of ammunition, and decided in case of trouble to sell my life at as high a price as possible in case any prowling greaser spotted me. Luckily, none did. The next day at noon our train came to “The Gap,” where the expert Mexicans had ripped up three miles of track when they evacuated Vera Cruz after the Americans had stormed and captured the town. I saw that the British lady was placed in the safe-keep- ing of some people who would take care of her. Then I started to hike across ‘‘The Gap,”’ eager to reach American territory just as quickly as possible. I was burned pretty brown, but at the same time I modestly con- ceded that I didn’t look like a Mexican. Scouting by Air. All my fatuous imaginings were in vain. As I approached an American naval officer in command at the American end of “The Gap,” he deigned to glance at me briefly; then he turned to one of his men: “This greaser looks like he might assay about three points higher than a Moron,” he said. ‘‘Let’s see if he can help us out.” Then he shot some high-grade Annapolis Spanish at me.

He was trying to make arrangements with the Mexican guards for an exchange of mail, 80 we crossed “The Gap’’ to the Mexican out- post, holding up a big white towel for a truce banner. We completed the mail exchange, strolled back across No Man’s Land, got on board another waiting train, and before long were in Vera Cruz. Gen. Funston had, in the meantime, arrived from Galveston with transports and troops and was in command of the entire City of Vera Cruz. Marines, M. P.’s and sailors were in charge all over the town. I ran into Capt. Burnside and he asked me if I wanted to serve in the intelligence department as a scout. Needless to say I was eager to get mixed up in the forthcoming hostilities, so accepted the One of my first duties was at the direct request of Gen. Funston. There had been many conflicting reports regarding Mexicans constructing gun em- placements outside the city, and headquarters was anxious to establish the veracity of the rumors., So about fifteen minutes after I walked into headquarters they ordered me aloft in a naval seaplane, one of the first air- plane scouting trips ever made into the in- terior. My pilof afterward became one of the band of American aviators who were the first to. hop across the Atlantic in their seaplanes. He had a good time with me. After some zig- zagging around the town, we found the ar- tillery emplacements and the trail, plain as a white ribbon on the floor, that. the army hadn’t been able to find after days of scout- ing over the ground. When that flight was over if any one had told me that three years later I would be flying my own bus in the British navy, scout- ing over the North Sea, I would have told him he was cuckoo. Incidentally, today you couldn’t load all the money in the world on trucks and dump in my back yard if I had to take a flight in the crazy crate I rode in Mex- ico to even up for it. The maps of the country were accurate enough as far as the coastline went, but could not be counted on as guides to the in- terior. Information was badly needed con- cerning roads and rivers leading north, west and south. I undertook to do this work and so had to spend days and nights out alone in the bush, armed only with a knife and pistol. It was as hot as the hammers of hades and the wood ticks, of whith the Mexi- can variety is the world’s prize nuisance, with the brakes off, picked me out as a special target.

I tiptoed away and in a few min- utes she came back with tortillas, beans and meat. She whispered that the only reason she was doing it was that she was angry with the Mexicans for camping out at her rancho for two weeks instead of only over- night as they had originally specified. Eating in a roving army over a period of months on the Mexican battlefields isn’t very conducive to silent table maneuvers, but lI knew if I made much commotion in the house the enemy would be up and afier me. So with a great deal of self-control I used the muffler, but packed away mucho meal never- theless. When I had finished in about nine minutes, I eased myself out the front door, thanked my hostess profusely, and struck out for the wilds again. Later that same day in trying to get to a particular vantage spot I found out a hur- ried trip across an open space was necessary. I made careful observations and then dashed for a large tree in the center of the opening. Just as I reached the tree rifle fire crackled nearby. There was nothing to do but wait until somebody showed himself, but although I lay there for some time, there was no further sign of activity. It was beginning to get on my nerves. After about ten minutes I cau- tiously peered around the corner of the tree —and saw no one. Then I heard rifle fire again, more distant this time. Curiosity en- gendering boldness, I decided to definitely find out what all the shooting was about, so crept carefully to a group of trees 100 yards away. Walking some distance from the clearing, I soon saw a Mexican farmer clearing off brush. Much of it was cane or bamboo, and he was burning some of it. As it burned, the joints would swell and explode with a sound startlingly like a rifle shot. Taking it all to- gether, this bush life was too exciting for any one to thoroughly enjoy. Half the time I was scared to death and the other half I was ashamed for being that way. Dodging Death in a Thorn Bush. On this particular trip I spent four or more days scouting, and then reported back to Funston. He wanted to know the condi- tion of the narrow gauge railroad running to Jalapa, having had unverified reports saying that part of the road had been torn up. The general asked me to get the information as soon as possible and then return by way of the beach to see where it would be possible to land troops. I carried papers which let me get through the lines any place at any time, so I went to El Tejar to the marine outpost, and then at night slipped through the lines. It was im- possible to follow the railroad for very far, as the Mexicans had an outpost a few miles from the Americans. There was nothing for me to do but start through the bordering swamps and make for the hills several miles away. It was a tough, slow job. For five days I made my way up that track, always in the bush off to one side, passing “many menacing groups of Mexican soldiers, but getting along very nicely. I had secured accurate information as to the condition of the rail line, measuring the exact distances where the line was torn up, and had ob- served the condition of the various bridges. At night I used to sneak down to the water beneath the different bridges and measure the depth’ of the water, in case the bridges should be. destroyed and the Americans =. replace them. after I had secured all the infor- z at ned around and started . ‘Oe ae 5 i ro tt at gh ar es J a uly + de the fe Son 7 er - 7 , & : ty ae ae ie DO ese Se ener. 7 ee - > ¢ ~* ‘ a 7 eS x a Me 7 Se. a LP yi aaah th ee ity al 5 Wee he . sATOHUSUANNgTERENT TOG TT tamer TTA MLLULL LL ALLE Lua iM PUM UM TT TLLUAMELTALAALT ALPE PLLA, MAREE LAR EAA Td DELLE LAR UM Cd vt rou MI Tn oo MMU a ga to my samc y Woo ta Luck” Sends Tracy Toward Vera Cruz and Plenty of Excitement Among Crazy Mobs of Yelling Mexicans when I ran squarely into a detachment of Mexican soldiers.

I tarried no longer, but broke into a run that would have made Paddock look like a para- lytic ambling up to the judge to receive the death sentence. They were mounted, so I had the advan- tage; I ducked and dodged through the “prush as best I was able, and finally crawled into an especially thick growth of thorn bush. The Mexicans beat up the vicinity in all direc- tions for hours while I lay there in that thorn patch, hot, thirsty and scared to death, not daring to move—and every time I wriggled a fraction of an inch I coerced a few thorns into various vulnerable anatomical sectors. I stayed there all the rest of the day and until well after dark, when I crawled. out, spent an hour picking thorns loose. Then I made tracks as fast as possible for the American lines. The next night I knew I was close to the marine outpost of El Tejar, and I remember it was raining so hard you couldn’t see anything ten feet away. Being leery of approaching the camp by the same swamp route I left, I decided to go directly down the railway, past the Mexican outpost. Luckily for me, the rain had driven them to cover; they were quartered in a section house, and had all evidently taken refuge on the porch. I drifted past them and figured my own troubles were about over. Knowing about where the marine sentries were, I ap- proached them whistling, to show them I was only a good-natured American glad to get home. This, I fondly imagined, wou!d prevent any untimely fireworks. Tracy Steals the Mexican Navy. I also used my flashlight to give the ma- rines plenty of warning. Suddenly, without a word of greeting, a rifle roared just ahead of me. The same split fraction of a second the shot crashed out I had stepped between two cross-ties and stumbled forward. Even in the tropical rain I felt my hat being lifted right off my head. I let out a howl that made the rifle shot sound like a cap pistol, and which surely must have aroused the Mex- ican outpost. Anyway, I made my own side understand I was a friend who sought im- mediate shelter. The marines then barked for me to come on in and not stand out there trying to raise the dead. As soon.as I identified myself and estab- lished friendly relations I went back for my hat. There was a nice, neat, little bullet hole init where that overexcited sentry’s bullet had gone through. If I hadn’t stumbled in the hairbreadth second before that agitated marine squeezed his trigger, a tombstone en- graver along with a corps of cemetery assist- ants would have had another little job of work. The next thing on the program was a marine venture—a little out of my regular line but welcome nevertheless. We were told that the Mexicans were gathering a lot of boats at Alvarado, south of Vera Cruz somewhere near the narrow gauge railroad. Along with a Cuban who was working with the American forces I was ordered to Alvara- do to find out how many boats the enemy had, what condition they were in and what they were planning to do with them. If necessary, we were told to destroy them. The day after leaving camp we struck the town, sneaked down to the beach and as the garrison detailed to guard the boats seemed to be absent, we loitered around the little bayou in which the boats were kept, taking as many notes as possible. After a half hour, during which time nobody showed up, the Cuban and I decided to run off with the Mexican navy and bring it into Vera Cruz. Accordingly we hitched them all up to- gether in a line, and after starting up a big launch at the head, moved out of the basin aiming for the open sea about a half mile ahead. The channel was narrow but well buoyed so I had no difficulty keeping in safe water. When we got out a ways, however, the water widened considerably until we could see the ocean ahead; then the water got bumpy from the cross chop and whoever had laid out the buoys seemed to have for- gotten to indicate a safe passage to the deep water. There was about a thousand yards of shoals to be negotiated but almost all the space in front of us was covered with break- ers. Big ones, too, because there was a stiff breeze kicking ’em up from the Gulf. There was nothing to do but plough right ahead, trusting to luck that we could get through. We couldn’t turn back because we had no safe place to return to. Anyway, just when I found there were no buoys, a few bullets began to whistle overhead, evi- dently from the detail in charge of the boats who had probably come back from a saloon and discovered their loss. Robbing the Sharks. There was a pretty prospect, and a unique one, too. Breakers. in front and bullets behind. Sharks also beneath—that whole part of the Gulf swarms with them. The only dimension we couldn't be attacked frbm was the air. I prayed in about four different languages and steered off to the left for what : douuhet Was an open spot through = roar- a ane en se aol ts © Sr e * It proved to be safe and we got through all right to deep water beyond, but then, instead | of keeping right on going for a mile or so, until I could be sure of avoiding breakers on a trip up the coast, I turned left right away. Things went all right for about an hour, but then we hit more trouble. This time a wide shoal that I found myself trapped in before I could swerve to the right and safety. One big comber just slapped us broadside and carried our launch and its tow a couple of hundred yards in toward the beach. It’s a wonder we didn’t upset then and there. The engine was swamped and died—and so did the Cuban, nearly. We couldn’t do anything but hold on tight and hope that when we were finally upset it would be in water too shallow for the sharks to come on and do their stuff. A hun- gry shark will venture just so far in shallows . and then curve away for deeper water. We saw a lot of menacing fins just cutting the surface when we first started to wash in, but: as we neared the beach they cleared out. Pretty soon, when we got within 50 yards of the shore, it was shallow enough to jump - out and wade in, which we did in a hurry. A few minutes later all the beats were up ~ on the beach, and as the enemy didn’t seem to be around, not having been able to cross — the entrance of the bayou five or six miles . back, we used axes and wrecked every boat there, so they couldn’t be used as transports by the Mexicans, We got back safely and reported what we had done, receiving rather a hollow commen- | dation in view of the fact tnat we had failed to pull off a big coup so successfully started. What they would have done with those boats if we had brought them in I don’t know, The Americans had plenty of their own, and I only ran away with the Mexicans’ because it would have made a spectacular entrance into the Vera Cruz harbor. By this time there were dozens of news- paper men around the town, all looking for excitement. If they couldn’t find it they were busy cooking something up. The late Richard Harding Davis was among them and thought he would like to make a trip to the Mexican lines, to get a slant on their side of things. Against advice he made the trip, was taken prisoner, held for a few days under trying circumstances, but was finally released. When he returned to the American lines he was more than willing to stay there. Richard Harding Davis was just another gringo to the Mexicans. By the first of July everybody was certain there would be no formal war. I waited until the Fourth, when the Americans fired off go many cannons that the poor greasers thought the whole American Army and Navy was about to start an attack, and then took the next boat out for Galveston. On. board ship somebody broke into my cabin and stole every cent I had with me, so I had to borrow money at Galveston to reach El Paso, where I had a financial cache. Back at my old headquarters we got word that the European war had just started, so I saw the French consul and made arrange- ments to join the Foreign Legion. I didn’t go through with this scheme, though, but went to Canada and joined the Princess Pats instead. That’s another story, however, and will be dealt with in later chapters.

Peril From Snakes Lessened by Latest Cures. Antidotes for the poison of the rattlesnake, the copperhead and the water moccasin, which, if injected into the blood-stream within a few hours after a bite has been suf- fered, will almost certainly prevent death, have been prepared by a Brazilian doctor, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. With the aid of the army and other agencies, he col- lected the venom of more than 4,000 rattle- snakes in this country, then proceeded to develop antidotes or antitoxins by inoculating horses. The process: was a complicated one and involved preparations from the venom : of more than 30 species of rattlesnakes. . Each is slightly different, but-all work on the same principle. The preparations have been tested by the public health service, Fertilizer Applied With Hose Watering and fertilizing the lawn or gar- den at the same time can now be done with a simple attachment connected to the supply faucet and to the hose, says Popular Me- chanics Magazine. A fertilizer containing plant food in the form of various chemicals is held in the unit, which is simply a metal cylinder with two openings. As water rushes through, it washes the material with it. This is in the shape of a stick that drops down of its own weight as it dissolves, insuring a con- stant supply!

What is more important, they decided that something ought to be done about it and that they were the ones to do it. Wholly as a result of that decision, King- ston, Madison County, Ark., is today the model town of the Southwest, and the pride of the Ozard Mountains*> The Department of Agriculture of the United States points to it with warm approval. The Department of Agriculture extension of Columbia Uni- versity has a good word for Kingston. The College of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas has sent specialists in rural so- \ciology and economy out to see what it is all about. Boards of social study, appointed by both the Methodist and- Presbyterian churches, commend the methods used in Kingston to social and industrial experi- menters everywhere. The “live three’’ who wrought the change in Kingston are the Rey. E. J. Bouher, com- munity clergyman; Otto E. Rayburn, superin- tendent of schools and editor of the local newspaper, and Alfred Hermance, World War yeteran and director of vocational agri- gulture. Kingston isn’t a big town, nor do its boost- ers want it to be. It is a town that is alive and grappling with its own problems. King- ston, as a matter of arithmetical fact, only has 200 inhabitants, even counting habes in arms, the village cut-up and a Republican who strayed in some years ago and has never been able to. find his way out. Experts in town building, however, will be amazed to learn that there are 300 children attending the Kingston school, which is quite modern, both in its methods and its physical plant, and is one of the main reasons that Kingston is called a ‘‘model town.” The children come in from a farm and hill coun- try embracing 400 square miles, Some come in buckboard buggies, some in flivvers, some on horseback. But they come. In Kingston, thanks to Dr. Bouher, there is a high school which offers courses in home economics, manual training, agricultural training and athletics. There is a com- community church, built and equipped at a cost of $30,000. There is a mode! public hospital—one of the few in rural Arkansas, and a blessing to the people 4 of the hincerland. There are four stores, a. posto*ice and a bank. There is a commun- ity pover plant, a community water plant, an agri.u'tural experiment station. which : de Bo: = ei, ?

Kingston, to put it more con- cretely, has an $8,000 pipe organ, the only one in Madison County.

In building for the future, the minister went first to the superintendent of schools, Mr. Rayburn. Education was in a bad way in the Ozark village. Most children in the surrounding country got no education at all. . With the school projects [s — , aire fs is - Dadac's under way, he went to Mr. Hermance, the savseniianre | agricultural community must of necessity depend upon agriculture, and he knew that people couldn’t spend on social betterment money that they didn’t have. The ways that minister, and that farm supervisor figured out for putting dollars in the pockets of the poople ‘‘beat all time,’”’ as the natives say. Agricultural enterprises are many, and all have a community angle which leaves scope _ for individual ambition and still gives the ST eR WN? iin te ni tl rae a year to the income of the hillside farmers. School children raise and tend large numbers of capons and turkeys. Last year the com- munity made $4,000 from capons and turkeys alone. A community creamery pays out 3,000 to the farmers every year for surplus cream and milk. All the agricultural enterprises which cen- ter in Kingston are as beneficial to the coun- try around as to the town itself, of course, and every dollar that the farmers in the hill country make means added prosperity for the town itself. In building up Kingston, the _ three strangely matched boosters have borne in mind‘that not all the poor people are able to contribute at first to institutions meant for the common weal, When a farmer on the outskirts of the town says he is unable to contribute pro rata for a new highway, he isn’t ostracized. He is reminded that there are*seasons ~vhen work is slack on his hill farm, and he is invited to contribute his share in labor. Others con- tribute in material—rock or sand from their farms. No Farm Labor Shortage Farm labor supply and demand are in close balance this year, the supply for the United States as a whole being reported at 100.4 per cent of the demand by the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The supply of farm labor is slightly under the demand in the Nvrth At- lantic and South Atantic States but elsewhere over the country the supply seems to be plentiful. Farm wages are down slightly as compared with last July, the average for the United States, per month with board, being $35.59 this July, against $36.10 last July; wages per month without board, $49.54, against $49.89; wages per day with board, $1.89, against $1.91, and wages per day without board, $2.44, against $2.48. Farm wages are at a much lower level than industrial wages, the bureau reports, being only about 84 per cent of the 1919 level, whereas the weekly earnings of New York State factory workers in May were 124 per cent of the 1919 level. The larger supply of farm labor as compared with last year, hor- ever, is a reflection of the lower volume of industrial employment. As Yet, Unseen. In the Lambs Club a few evenings ago a Scottish actor, who had hearkened to a series of stories dealing with the alleged penurious- ness of his race, was moved to remonstrate. He argued that thrift was a virtue and one of which the Scotch might well be proud. _ “As a collector of oddities,’’ he remarked, ye have, occasion to visit ergs all = 7 the. credit of Max 2ace. h rish Mes! i Pen

Buyers Aghast At Dressmakers’ Prices Paris, (A.P.).—The prices which some of the large dressmaking houses are asking for their fall and winter models has thrown consternation into the ranks of buyers, who are here to obtain outstanding models for America. Stabilization of the franc, which it was expected would eventually lower prices, seems to have had the opposite effect. French customers are aghast before the prices at certain houses and even American clients who have heretofore maintained their equilibrium under the prices quoted them are beginning to quail. Long Sport Coats For Tennis Players Paris, (A.P.).—Although tennis dresses are as short as they can be and still remain skirted, tennis coats sometimes reach well down to the ankles and are always six inches longer than the dress, acording to Paris de- cree. The favorite model is white washable wool made in conventional polo design. Suzanne Lenglen has two coats of this pattern and wears them constantly for ordi- nary play. Contrasting Blouse Worn For Sports Paris, (A.P.).—One of the best known dressmakers shows a dark polka dot blouse of the tucked-under variety of several sea- sons ago for wear with a white flannel sports suit. There are other indications that the shirt- Waist, so popular for many years, is to make a comeback in favor. With the upward shifting of waistlines and the lenghtening of skirts dressmakers are less afraid of cutting the figure in two by contrasting colors. Vacationers Like Washable Cretonne Paris, (A.P.).—Even the big dressmakers are recognizing the vogue of washable cre- tonnes and cotton prints which has swept the holiday makers. Dresses, coats, handbags, shoes and hats are made of the Inexpensive fabric. If printed coats are worn, piain dresses are the rule. But the favorite mode is a printed dress, hat and shoes to match and a sleeve- less linen coat of plain color. Dressmakers Gamble On Season Of Brown Paris, (A.P.)—The dressmaking trade and its allied branches annually gambles millions of dollars on the color which will be the most popular of the season. For the winter that is coming Paris seems to have chosen brown. Fabrice makers, dressmakers, accessory manufacturers, ribbon makers and a score of other branches have prepared themselves for a rush on brown. Last winter it was red that claimed the popular mind. This summer the best selling color has been blue. Shoulder Bouquets New Summer Fashion Paris, (A.P.).—The limit in artificial flowers seems to have been reached with the style of not one, but as many as a dozen large flowers worn in a huge bougmet on the left shoulder. The bouquets may be Victorian in formation, or an arrangement of imitation wild flowers, including field grasses and oak leaves. A dancer at Caros not long ago wore several dozen small, flat roses shading from jacqueminot red to lemon yellow with a white beaded dress. The roses were arranged in a mass of several inches high and eighteen inches long. Metal-Back Velvet For Winter Millinery Paris, (A.P.).—Velvet with a metal back and an irridescent sheen is among the new- est and most favorable fabrics milliners are using for the fall hats. Metal stitching is another novelty with the modistes. Agnes and Marthe Regnier are showing metal velvet stitched in quilted design with metal thread. Somevof these hats have small visor brims which cut- away at the back. There is much embroidery on winter milli- nery. Some of the designers are using old- fashioned satin stitch embroidery padded high. ] The Tailored Sports Coat — coats are very important. The vogue of having a coat for almost every frock has advanced this particular coat into a place of first importance. .To be- gin with, sports clothes dominate the sum- mer wardrobe and naturally the sports coat must receive its share of attention. Sports coats vary in length. There are coats that completely cover the frock, leav- ing only a hem visible, while other models ‘equally smart are of hip length. They may be open and reveal the little sports dress, or they may button well down the front and make the coat of greater importance. The very youthful jacket with wide patch pockets, narrow belt, small collar and invert- ed pleats stitched part way gives an unusually smart effect to the young person wearing it and is a favorite model for many occasions. The sweater-jacket with convenient pockets and loose, straight lines is also much seen and is very smartly worn’over sports dresses. The double-breasted reefer also is a coat that fits into the sporting picture with great suc- cess. 7 Buttons, for some reason or other, have _ taken hold of the mode with dominating in- _ fluence. They are a necessary and attractive _ feature of the new coats that are seen every- _ where. The button may be large or small and are as often in groups as in long lines, but appear they do, and with flattering effect. Dorothy Mackaill, whose clothes are so im- portant a part of the First National film, _ “Smile, Brother, Smile,” wears an all white | sports costume featuring one of the new » coats. It is of cream twill trimmed with yel- _ low bone buttons and yellow poiret twill pip- ing around the narrow belt and pocket.

AL _ Visiting Buyers See First Winter Showing Paris (A.P.).—The princess silhouette in coats and dresses is characteristic of the first winter collection shown. Christiane, a com- paratively new house among the dressmakers, opened the season with a showing which might have been called ‘‘an afternoon with Irving Berlin.”’ His compositions were played throughout the parade of models, most of which are named for Irving Berlin pieces. De luxe’ furs and expensive embroideries are missing from the Christiane collection. Self trimmings in the form of appliqued bands, some stitching and piping is used. Coats which flare at the hem and cuff and button right up the front to a close fitting neck are typical. Shawl wraps of velvet combined with crepe de chine and chiffon are made to match evening dresses at this house. Dresses and coats hang four inches below the knee as a rule. oitiens A shawl collar and elbow- deep cuffs of beaver trim one of Molyneux’s pretty fall coats.

(om) RY 8 A h vB AN a brown tweed Even the _ patch Unbalanced Lines New Fashion Point Paris (A.P.).—The unevenness of hems has now extended’ to waistlines. The ten- dency of raised, defined waistlines to accen- tuate stoutness is behind the move, which is headed by Drecoll, to keep waistlines vague and broken. The designer who created it calls this waistline ‘‘staggered,” although the effect is less startling than the word might indicate. The system consists of making irregularity the keynote of the waistline. If one side is long the other is usually short. Dresses may. flare at one side of the waistline and be flat. on the other. Metallic Woolens Lead Fall Fabrics Paris (A.P.).—Woolen fabrics which show a metal thread design are among the prettiest novelties in the winter dress collections. The metallic designs take the form of stripes, zig- - How to Use Tops of Worn Silk Stockings — A helpful suggestion as to how to make use of the fops of silks stockings after the feet are beyond repair is given by Needlecraft Magazine. | Here is the practical solution of the prob- lem: Cut off the feet, then go around and around the stocking leg, cutting into an inch- wide strip as evenly as possible, and having it all in one piece when finished; by using a little care this can be easily accomplished. Start the next stocking in the same way, and continue until you have them all ‘cut. The ends may be sewed as the work progresses, and the lengths rolled or wound loosely in a ball, exactly as rags were cut and sewed and wound in balls for the old-fashioned carpets or rugs, woven in days gone by. If most of the stockings are dark, or there is a sameness in color, it is an excellent plan to scatter bright pieces through the ball, even though in order to do this you must cut the lengths apart: but if there is a good variety, simply assort them and join the strips.

Inexpensive Scents No Longer Stylish Paris (A.P.).—The expert perfume shopper is now so experienced that she can tell ata whiff how much her neighbor’s perfume cost. Cost and not quality seems to be tempo- rarily dominating the choice of scents. De- spite steadily rising prices perfumers report the heaviest sales in the most expensive scents. The inexpensive, unmixed flower per- fumes, once considered good form, get noth- ing but sniffs of scorn from the modern smart world. The expensive auras are most ad- mired. A New Kind of Underwear HE simplicity of line T that Paris decrees for clothes also is seen in the undergarments that are worn by the sophis- ticated person. Slender lines. Tailored and sports Simplicity— above all else, simplicity. These things are demand- ed in the undergarments that would follow’ the lines of the present-day mode. First of all, under- garments should be tai- lored to fit smoothly with-_. out the tiniest wrinkle to mar the slender silhou- ette. Of course, there should be no tightness, nor restraint, but in its place a freedom that gives vent to the most strenuous of sports. To begin with, the short skirts of today make the step-ins, panties or bloomers necessarily short. They must never betray a sign of them- selves, and yet they must be just long enough and’ wide enough to make them attractive. ‘There are times when a shirt is not worn at all and only panties and brassiere ap- pear under the sports or evening dress. The type of clothes worn should always match the oc- casion. Filmy and lacy underwear should attract the formal occasions, while for sports silks in the sturdier weaves are more practical. The details of the new underwear see to it that they are attractive as well as service- able. These garments are so made that they give the widest possible latitude to move- ment and yet appear as fragile as you please. Laces, chiffons; georgettes and nets are worn in great numbers. They are particular- ly lovely in all the dainty colors. They are often combined with laces and ribbons most effectively. The problem of securing the right kind of ~ slip to wear with sheer frocks has been solved by using pastel tints for light frocks, while navy, tan and black permit gay plaids and stripes in soft silks with deep shadow hems, snugly fitting bodies and shoulder straps tha AS film, “The Perfect Sap,” Short Skirts and Tailored Styles Necessitate New Models in Undergarments.

But be- tween the end of the first year of life and the sixth vear, the child is extremely sus- ceptible unless he has either a large amount of fighting antitoxin already in his system or has been made immune by the injection of toxin antitoxin. It is during the years before the child goes to school that it is the duty of his parents to have him protected, because the greatest point of susceptibility is during these preschool years, and it is only through the cooperation of the family physician that protection can be insured to every child. “It is an interesting fact that children who live in congested cities have a higher immunity than children who live country. You immunize a child by expos- in the . ing him and allowing him to produce his own antitoxin. The sheltered child is even more in danger of getting diphtheria because his system has not had the opportunity to pre- pare the antitoxin, “We can not determine whether or not a child is susceptible merely by looking at him. He may be immune at the age of 2 years and a year later he may lose his immunity. By testing him every year or every six months we can know that this immunity has not been lost. If there is no reaction each time the test is applied he is stillimmune. It has been found that from 93 to 95 per cent of those who have been immunized keep their immunity throughout life.’’ STOVE THAT FITS THE POCKET. What is believed to be the smallest stove in the world has been introduced in Ger- many in the form of a pocket-size unit for fumigating and deodorizing rooms, says Pop- ular Mechanics Magazine.

One of them of course was Teddy. And as Teddy he is generally known. If that was a mere nick- name given by neighbors and if he had an- other and less hackneyed cognomen, I hope I shan’t be sued for libel for miscalling him. He is a little blacK-and-white terrier of loubtful lineage, and of queerly independent ways: one of those “throwback” dogs that have a genius for living on the country and doing their own foraging. In street or in countryside, where a less gifted stray dog must die of starvation, Teddy would have the Knack of picking up a fat livelihood. There are such dogs; and there are such humans. Witness the one rich man in many a down-and-out community. Luckily for himself, Teddy didn’t have to forage to keep from starving. He belonged to William Pierce, an elderly Oregon farmer, and he was well fed. However, just as a well-fed man might go hunting or fishing, so well-fed Teddy kept on exercising his skill at thefts of food. | Kggs were his favorite diet. He had a gen- uine gift for smelling out hidden hen’s nests. He could climb to hay-mows and there he could wriggle into crannies where eggs were awaiting him. He could slip unobtrusively into hencoops and rifle one nest after another. There seemed no limit to his capacity for egg-swallowing. The wonder was that so small a dog could hold so many dozen eggs. It got to be a vice with him, this egg-stealing. He neglected his tin dish of kitchen scraps for the delights of 40-cents-a-dozen fresh eggs. For a while he got away with it, unsus- pected. More food and better food and dif- ferent food was given to the hens by Pierce, in the vain hope of making them lay the same number of eggs they once had laid. It was no use, though. On his daily nest-searches, Pierce would find a scant half dozen eggs where once there had been a hundred. Even the cleverest malefactor can not al- Ways outplay the law of probabilities. One morning while the old farmer was on his round of egs hunting, he saw Teddy standing over a nest, happily eating egg after egg. The mystery of the hens’ seeming eggless- ness was explained to the astounded old man. His pet terrier was the thief that was cutting down the farm’s earlier egg profits to zero and to minus zero. Teddy, and not the hens, had caused the deficit. Raw eggs are wonderfully good diet for dogs, especially if the dog will eat the crushed shell along with its contents. Eggs _ benefit health and bone and coat, and are _ great ‘“‘conditioners’”’ for any weak or ailing canine. But when a healthy and not very - yaluable terrier gorges them daily by the - dozen, it ceases to be a joke. On a farm all things and all animals are _ supposed to pay for their own keep. Teddy had made himself a big item on the wrong side of the ledger. Pierce went into execu- tive session, and studied the situation out. _ An egg-stealer is a complete loss to a farm. _ ‘Therefore this egg-stealer must die.

The bite was agonizing; and the bull impatiently sought to knock the tiny chap to pieces against the barn. But Teddy had other ideas. He dodged out of reach, and then jumped forward and dug those sharp white teeth of his once more into the bleeding nostrils. He had no fear. He was battling for the life of the man who was his god. Teddy did not know the man had just condemned him to death. But that would have made no difference, Presently the bull seemed to realize he must get rid of the dog before he could finish killing his human victim. Horns lowered, he charged wildly at Teddy. The terrier scampered away, keeping barely out . of reach of the terrible horns and managing to lead the chase as far as possible from Pierce, | | Whenever the bull would falter in the pursuit or show signs of turning back toward athe farmer, Teddy’s teeth would sink once more into the rent and tortured nostrils. Bit by bit, he lured his enormous foe farther and farther from Pierce. Then it was that the Davis family, drawn by the-wild din of strife, came rushing to see what was the matter.

To preserve and conserve all desirable American wild life, including birds, animals, trees, flowers and nee other living things; also the natural beauty spots and scenic wonders of all America. Meetings Every Wednesday Night Through Station WBZ at 7:30, Eastern Standard Time % An Apartment Roof Nursery. Recently I was called to the roof of a city apartment building to witness the faithful- ness of mother love as shown by a bird of which most people appear to know little. It was a nighthawk, Chordeiles virginianus, also called bull-bat. Why it should be called either hawk or bat is beyond me. It resem- bles neither in appearance, and the only pos- sible reason for these common names that I . can see is a remote suggestion of the methods of flight of both the hawk and the bat. The nighthawk is closély related to the whippoorwill, and the two birds look much alike. Both nest on the ground. Perhaps this is a bit misleading, for in thé interests of truth and accuracy I should say that they do not nest at all. They lay eggs, but they do not make nests. The eggs are laid on the ground, the nighthawk using sometimes a flat rock in an open field. The whippoor- will lays her eggs in woods or thickets. Now, the nighthawks are coursers of the upper air. They feed on flying insects taken in flight, and they have discovered that there is a plentiful supply over and around the city. Anyway, this is true of our smaller cities. Now .the graveled, flat-roofed busi- ness blocks and apartment houses are a most excellent substitute for the ground, and the nighthawks have taken advantage of these roofs for their nurseries. But there is one thing which has not en- tered into the calculations of the birds. It is the fact that the untried wings of the young birds may not always be strong enough to take them to safety on their first flight. The young nighthawks hatched on the ground take their first flights with no danger of a fall, for they do not go high. But the young birds making their first flight from the roof of a building—four, six or more stories high— may, and often do, find no place to come down on save the ground; and that is so tar below that the untried wings are not always equal to the task of bringing them down safely. Fearless, But Cautious. It had been so with the young bird that I went to photograph and examine. The mis- tress of one of the upper apartments had discovered the eggs on the roof just after they were laid. She kept sharp watch of them. Sixteen days later they hatched. Eighteen days from hatching, the young nighthawks, then about two-thifds the size of the mother, made their first flight. One circled out over the court and back to the roof. The other was unable to get back, and was picked up in the court four stories below. Either it was hurt or else its experience had robbed it of its courage, for on being taken back to the roof it made no attempt at another flight . for a matter of some ten days. During all that time the mother was loyal. All day long she would sit on the roof beside it or In the late after-. noon and through the dusk of the evening she hunted for food and fed it. I wish you could have seen those two side by side as Isaw them. They would allow me to approach within a couple of feet, but when I tried to approach nearer the old bird would lift those narrow, beautifully marked, long wings of hers straight over her head and gently protest. pick her up, she would fly over to a tree a short distance away. I did succeed in catch- ing her finally and holding her long enough ° to place a biological survey band on one leg. The young ge was also banded.

[LAWIGHTHAWK (CHORDFILES VIRGINIANUS) Musre By | TW. BURGESS The Comedian of the Beach. Of all the lowly inhabitants of our Eastern beaches, none is more amusing than the fid- dler crab. There is no mistaking the fiddler for any other crab. One claw is very largely developed in the male and is carried held aloft in a most amusing way.. The eyes are on fairly long stalks. These crabs occur in immense numbers, both on salt marshes and on the beaches above the reach of the tides. They live in holes which they themselves dig. This is done by scraping out the mud or sand and forming it into pellets, which are carried under the three anterior walking feet on the under side. The crab peers out and find- ing the way clear, scuttles away with its load for four or five feet. Before going back into its burrow, it turns its curious stalked eyes in all directions. I know of nothing more amusing than the scuttling for their homes of a colony of these funny little crabs when they are startled. They are not at all par- ticular. The nearest burrow is good enough. If it happens to contain its rightful owner, there is a scrap right away. Either the in- vader has to retreat or the owner is hauled out bodily-and forcibly ejected. The Chipmunk's Dump. | Where does striped chipmunk dump his sand when digging a burrow? That question has come to me over and over again. You may find the entrance to that burrow, but you will find no sand around it. Various the- ories have been advanced. One is that the sand is all carried out by way of the back entrance, and this is then- sealed up when the main entrance is opened. A member of, - the Radio Nature League has this to say: “Chipmunks seldom dig-much of a hole, excepting a storage compartment for their food. Their method is to find a crevice, usu- ally near a stone or stump, and follow the ‘path of a decayed root on through the maze of roots that have loosened the earth and caused it to be honeycombed with holes. ‘When Mr. Chipmunk finds it necessary to dig he simply packs the dirt into the nearest crevice that he isn’t using. He also buiids subways, not connected with his home hole. He packs nuts and seeds in different com- partments separated by beech leaves.

It will be quite interesting to have more light on the subject of his dis- posal of the sand. The Nesting of a Humming Bird. Comparatively few people have been so fortunate as to have the opportunity to wit- ness the building of her dinky little nest by Mrs. Humming Bird. Indeed, those who have ever seen a humming bird’s nest usually count themselves as being especially favored. It is well known that Mr. Humming Bird is an ardent wooer, a reckless gallant, and espe- cially fitted by temperament and personal ap- pearance to capture his lady’s heart. But ap- parently he is like some other gallants—sat- isfied with the conquest. Certainly he is not domestic. He has nothing to do with the building of the nest or the caring for the young. For ‘two years in succession a humming bird has built on a certain bough close to the house of one of our league members, afford- ing her a wonderful opportunity to watch the building of the dainty little cradle. ‘ This is how she describes it: ” “Mrs. Humming Bird was about a week building her nest. Every morning — she worked very hard. Afternoons she appeared to take off for rest and play. Once in a while she worked for u very little while in the late afternoon. She used spiders’ webs, lichens from the trees avd material pulled from the outside of cocoons of caterpillars. The nest was firmly bound to the twig. The inside was expertly shaped by working around and around with her wings ang feet.”’ A Naturalist’s Question Box. “Ts it true,” asks Frank Oliver, “that a toad can live imprisoned in rock for a great number of years?” Scientists say that it is not true. Common sense tells us that there must be a limit to the length of time any creature can exist without food br fresh air. Experiments have shown that a toad can live for a year when sealed up in a bloch of limestone. Probably this is about the limit. ‘“‘How long does the larvae of the Cicada remain in the ground?” asks Nancy Russell. There are different kinds of Cicadas.

Perhaps the fact that he never had summoned the courage necessary to face life and him- self squarely and decisively was the charac- teristic which made people expect nothing of him, The exact reason, however, is of secondary consequence. Dutton was a failure. He had slipped past or around the hard things of life, had evaded and procrastinated and taken the easiest way, and now, at 35, he seemed to have settled into the habit of failing without protest. He had had many chances to try his wings. He was charming, in his quiet way, and peo- ple liked to have him about and liked to do things for him; and he was so well-inten- tioned and so chagrined when his shortcom- ings became apparent that no one could ever be other than sympathetic. At the university he slipped along, avoid- ing the big struggles and accepting the negli- gible triumphs which come to those of faint heart. After his degree was acquired, his uncle, to do the right thing by the boy, took him into the factory office where Dutton’s father had labored and died for the partner- ship. 3 When the girl turned him down Dutton hid the hurt and put away the small, reproaching voice which whispered that one moment of positiveness, one word of high resolve, one gesture of assurance, would have laid his life in another pattern. He lived alone with the old family housekeeper, joined a club, and at first went there frequently; but as he grew older and saw how far behind he was being left by other men, he became self-conscious, and began keeping more to himself, When he did show up at. the club the other regulars always made it a point to drag him into whatever was going on, but he felt that this was done only because men were naturally gréat-hearted. He had many friends and no companions, and these tenu- Ous associations became more blurred ag he entered his thirties and approached middle- age a decade before his time. When the uncle lay dying and called him for a grim farewell Dutton said that he would do his best to keep the firm at its high stand- ing, but that he was aware of his limitations. The old man gave him a sorrowing look, which plainly indicated his fear that things might go to pot under Dutton’s indecisive direction. Things did go pretty much to pot, as it turned out, and now, on this November after- noon, Dutton sat listening to the Youngest Creditor. “Don't think anybody blames you, Dutton,” he was saying, and the rest nodded assent. ‘“You’ve done your best.’ Dutton winced as much at the generosity in this as at the weakness the words implied. “But it seems to be up to you either to buy the Wycliff people or to sell... You can’t compete with them longer, as we all agree. The price they want for their plant seems fair, but they don’t think enough of this property to let you out with anything to show for your pains. | “There's a good future in leather belting. The business was left to you, Dutton, and you're the one to decide. If you buy, it’s going to take a mighty tough program of re- financing, and it’ll be some job to convince the Oid Fort National that you’re deserving of the necessary line. If you sell you’ll be rid of a big fight, but * * * that’s about all.” He shrugged significantly. “You have until the first of December to give the Wycliff crowd an answer. -Some- body with vim and pep, somebody who is fresh and who has—well, an iron jaw, could put this thing through. “The thing for you to do, Dutton, is to get away for a few days where you can think this over. Perhaps a rest will give you the “Steam to go on with the job. You used to go North grouse shooting, didn’t you?” Dutton, rather bewildered by this toler- ance, said that he had been going to Tidd’s for years, but he hadn’t planned on it this fall, because- 2 “Forget that!” broke in the Largest Credi- tor. ‘‘Lord knows you’ve done your best to protect us: You dig out and freshen up, now. Then come back and give us your answer.” “That's the ticket!” exclaimed the Oldest Creditor. “Go off and forget things, At the worst we won’t lose much, while you stand to lose about all you have, unless this consolidation:can be put through.” They all shook hands with him 8ympathe- tically, just as others had always accepted his failures, again. They all knew what his answer would be, and they were ready to accept it. | Dutton sat down when they had gone, and a lump rose in his throat. They were all such darned good fellows! Losing money for men of that sort! Why couldn’t he make a g0 of things, anyhow? He ruminated on the goodness of people in general; but the words of the Youngest Creditor were like yeast, fermenting rapidly: “Somebody with vim and pep * * * gome- body who has an iron jaw.” He repeated the words and shook his head dolefully, /Then he arose and walked to the window. Across the upper half was a_ black-backed gold sign which made a dark mirror for his face. He inspected his reflection: his slight- ly bald head, his round blue eyes, and the gentle chin which seemed ready to acquiesce -to any~fate—a prosaic, kindly old face. * * * Old? He was only 35, and should just be hit- ting his stride now, but he had used every- thing at his command and was going back- ward. : For the first time he saw himself as the chief actor in a tragedy of failure, with an audience made up of friends and associates. all sympathizing with him. No one ever had had any confidence in him, and he had no confidence in himself, either; and now the lack of it was so significant, the chance o! ever summoning it so remote that he wanted to crawl off where there were fewer people to show that they felt sorry for him. Ii wasn’t right, in one way, but these men had urged it. * * * Go off and think it over? What was there to think over? He knew what he would do: he would take the easiest way because, by doing the other, he might turn the smal] losses of these fine fellows into big losses. An hour later he closed his desk and went into the outer office. _ “Billings,” he said to the chief clerk, “I’m going to Tidd’s tomorrow. There’s nothing I can do to help here, and I might as well. -Good-by!” Every man who walks and breathes must have at least one passion and every human | being must have something on which to lavish his affection. _ Dutton’s passion—or as near a passion as | so mild a man could have—was grouse hunt- . ing, and the object of his affection was his old | setter, Patch, and he came by both because a | friend was sorry for him. | One night at the club, several years before, | Dutton stood watching a bridge game wist- fully, when a man named MeHlenry came | “paged through the rooms. was wor- ried, ‘bu piration. am.» 9) ‘ oy sd gat ORL js Be re “gs Tht i They were anticipating failure - at sight of Dutton his face showed — Rites EIS Pally nt Mikaistaaig CTT ie i of j rt! rit ids) hs VM eTAALL AL Er ehh yt “Not much,” said Dutton, embarrassed by this unwonted attention. ‘Don’t go in for spprt.” ‘‘Lord, man, and you’re getting bald! haven’t started to live. Now, listen.” One of McHenry’s party could not start at the week-end for a shooting trip, and Dutton must take his place. He could guarantee a good time, and if Old Dut had never pulled a trigger on a ruffed grouse he had missed all the real thrills of living. That was the start. Dutton went, and the trip marked a great change in his life. In the first place, it gave him two weeks in the close company of other men, gave him a sense of again belonging to some one, some group, which he had not felt in years. Secondly, it introduced him to Tidd’s. The Tidds were personages, and their establish- ment was more than a resort for hunters and fishermen, it was an institution, an influence. Mr. Tidd was so sweet, so gentle, so glad to have people come there to his place on the rushing Manistee, his eyes would sparkle so highly when his summer patrons came in with heavy creelg of trout or his autumn guests with coats bulging birds, and his tender mouth would show such genuine conce when the luck. was bad! : And, thirdly, there were the grouse. Fo one who had never known the tensing of the throat as the dog settles to a point, whose heart has not leaped to the thunder of wings as the bird takes flight, the statement means nothing, he had missed a part of his living, as McHenry assured Dutton he had. But for him who knows the grouse, there surely will be an understanding of Dutton’s first adventure afield. Of course he did not shoot. Beginners never shoot. He jumped whenever a bird rock- eted out with his rumble of defiance. Inar- ticulate exclamations of wonder and admira- tion broke from him as he watched the luck of his companions, never realizing: that he himself carried a gun and was there to kill! The grouse does that to men, and to keener men than Dutton had ever learned to be. But there was something of the sporting aristocrat in Old Dut beneath his futility, and those days set a virus in his blood, His de- light was so simple, his wonder at the cun- ning of the birds so naive that he was taken again the second and the third year with Mc- Henry and his friends. It gave him some- thing to talk about when he was with men, gave him something to think about as he sat before the fire in his house, alone with his failures, and, later, with Patch. He took to reading sporting magazines. He informed himself on guns, on ammuni- tion, on outdoor clothing, and he read all that ornithology could give him about ruffed grouse. Ah, there was a bird! he told him- self. So wary, so quick, so resourceful. No other bird could cheat men and dogs as he; no other life that wore feathers could clear out with such speed when danger threatened. No other wing could Awhir at such curves and angles, no other eye could select tree or stump or bush which would line up with the gun and give him the saving instant of pro- tection. And their bodies were so clean and fine, with the rich browns and black and gray of feathers, the clear white of flesh; sweet smelling, always. McHenry went away, called Bast by an offer he could not well refuse. “Tl want you to take the dog, Dut,’ he said gravely, ‘‘He’s a clinker, and I know you'll treat him as a gentleman should be treated. Money wouldn’t buy him from me, but I do want you to favor me by.taking him.” _ Dutton protested, of course. Patch was a wonder, a 100 per cent bird dog. He had You nose and disposition and experience, and was* as near human as a quadruped can be. He was a prize to own, and Dutton felt unworthy of such a gift, but his protests were swept aside. There began a new era in the quiet house. A soft, warm bed was made in the furnace room, but Patch slept in an upholstered chair in the library. The housekeeper mumbled because white hairs were everywhere, but she, too, was sorry for Dutton, and when she saw what a wonderful companion the dog made for him she ceased her complaints. Never before had Dutton known such a luxury. He had something to give Patch which the affectionate setter needed, and the dog repaid him with a love and devotion that. were unflagging. Dutton gave up his club, and every eve- ning they were in town, fair or stormy, the gM) 1!

And when they had finished this nightly visit Dutton read and Patch stretched at his feet, lifting his head up now and then for a look at his master, and then flinging himself down with a contented sigh and a happy flop of hig tail. It was a fine relationship, a veritable com- munion of understanding, and it gave Dutton a greater measure of happiness than he had ever known before. Yet this friendship was not new entirely; it had one factor which had been common to all Dutton’s friendships; for at times when Patch sat looking into his face, the man could detect a glint in the depths of those gentle eyes that could be nothing less than sympathy * * * Dutton and Patch became well known at Tidd’s. The dog was petted and admired, and Dutton was consulted by the first-year men, because he knew every foot of the country or miles around. Besides that, though, the two had another distinction, a unique char- acteristic—the reputation for unbroken fail- » ‘Darn it, Patch,” he said with a hard, jerky little laugh of surprise. ure. For all Patch’s wisdom and depend- ability, for all Dutton’s devotion to the sport, they had never been known to bring in a bird. It is nothing unusual for a man to go through his first year, or even his second, without feathering a grouse; many a hunter has done that and lived to develop into a splendid shot. But Dutton had been there three times with McHenry, and as many since he became master of Patch. He went out early, he stayed late, he had the best in equipment and a gcod knowledge of birds and cover; -but blessed if he could get on ’em and bring ’em down! It was uncanny, this faculty of Old Dut’s for missing. “You’d think that dumb luck would give him a bird occasionally,’ the others used to say to one another. Dutton had a little ritual which he delivered time and again as he took his place at Mrs. Tidd’s table after a sharp day afield... “They’re a grand bird and it’s a great game,’”” he would sigh and his eyes would sparkle mildly, then a sort of chagrin would come across his gentle face and he would add, ‘“‘Gosh, I don’t see how you fellows hit ’em!”’ No one, not even the neophytes at Tidd’s, ever laughed at Dutton, it simply was not done. Had he grown wrathy, as a man will whose determination is constantly thwarted, he might have been chaffed for his failure; but he was not determined, his persistence was not stiffened by firm resolve that he would do it.

My ’ “It’s all in getting going,’’ one hunter said truthfully as the group sat gossiping. “‘You’ll miss for a long time. Then, all of a sudden, vou’ll get the hang of it, and your confidence will come up and you’ll get your share, That’s the whole thing in this game: confidence. Tell yourself that you’re going to get ‘em and you will. It’s no game for indecision.” Dutton would start out each morning with fresh resolutions, and then Patch, ranging at a proper distance, would slow up, tail work- ing furiously, crouch, move forward and— stop! He could stop in the most outlandish positions, his spine would make a letter U or an S on the point and he would hold it, hold it, hold it! until his master came up. Dutton would look the ground over carefully; he would feel hig heart speed up, feel a knee tremble perhaps, or his skin prickle; feel a sort of funk of inadequacy come over him, He would slip the safety, put his finger on the trigger, elevate the gun and move cautiously, almost fearfully in, thinking all the while that he should clamp his jaw and make his faltering will behave; but, nevertheless, he was utterly incapable of accomplishing that state of mind. The bird would flush, the wandering gun would roar and Patch would drop with ears cocked and watch the bird sail to safety. Then he would rise and go to his master, tail wagging and sympathetic brown eyes on Dut- ton’s face. ‘‘T guess we missed, Patch,’’ the man would say. ‘'They’re too quick for me. Come on; give me one more chance,”’ And the strong-hearted dog would go on hunting, finding birds, and always after the birds were safely gone he would come to Dut- ton and waggle himself and look up, as much as to say: ‘I’m sorry for you, old timer; I know it’s a hard job for a fellow like you, but please, Dut, whang the next one! It’s been so long since I’ve had feathers in my mouth!” Yes, so long! When other hunters came in at night and drew birds from their coats, Patch’s chops would drool as:he sat stiffly, eyeing the dead grouse, trembling a bit now and then. Men noticed him and felt sorry for the dog as well as for Dutton. Patch, despite Dutton’s care, grew old. He thickened in body, and became a bit stiff. He was past ten when his master came home that afternoon of the meeting with his creditors and sat down heavily and put his hands over his face a moment; then he dropped them to the chair arms listlessly. ‘Well, Patch,” he said, ‘‘we’ll pull for Tidd’s in the morning.’’.. He leaned forward and took the dog’s head between his palms. Patch scrubbed the rug with his tail and licked his lips while Dutton looked deep into the dog’s eyes. ‘‘No iron jaw,” he muttered. “No starch, Patch. * * * Somehow, I don’t deliver, and everybody’s so darned kind * * * so darned kind!’’ Every one was so kind to Dutton at Tidd’s that time it made him feel like weeping— that and his sense of final failure. Tidd wel- comed him as he might have greeted a beloved brother. * The old gang stood around while he unpacked, and the new ones shook hands and said that they had heard of him; said it respectfully, too, and not as though they had heard that here was a man who had hunted for six seasons without pulling a feather! Day after day Dutton and Patch tramped together, night after night the man sat in the dining room, dog under the table at his feet, and listened to the others talk. When they told of their misses, they laughed. They could laugh at failures, because they had known successes. Dutton couldn’t. . Usually he could sleep well at Tidd’s, but this year it was different. He would stay out the season, until the 20th of November. On the lst of December he must give his answer to the Wycliff people, and the answer he would give would be that of a weakling. No one would blame him, not even the men who were going to lose * * * going to lose * * * lose, lose. When he did drop to sleep it was to dream of other men’s losses brought about because he could not face life unafraid, as a man should. Patch was alittle stiffer each morning, and he did not work. with his old speed. He was more cautious in hig approach to birds, too, and made more false points than he had ever made before. Dutton, understanding him, knew that the faithful old setter wanted to stand every bird his nose located, because the time was soon coming when he would for the last time drink in that delectable odor! A week went down; two; the third was half gone. Three more days of the season re- mained; two weeks before he must give his answer. The old office would be dismantled; the.old factory would be renovated or per- haps abandoned; the thing his father and his uncle had built would become a memory. The last day dawnéd after a sprinkle of cold rain. was light: and sharp with cold. ending of the season, and the ending of some- thing else for Dutton. Day after tomorrow he would be back in his office; that is, in the office that probably wouldn’t be his much longer. Why couldn’t he go to the Old Fort Na tional and show them that he could be trusted with the consolidation? Why couldn’t he make those bankers not only willing but giad to back him so he could take the business by the seat of its pants and hoist it to its feet?

Patch seemed to realize that. He made game farther away that day than he ever had before. He went almost to his belly on the first whiff; he crept onward without a sound, favoring that lame leg, and always pointing with it held up gingerly. He actually whim- pered when the birds flushed, and when he came in after the miss that look of sorrow for his master Was so pronounced that Dutton actually felt chagrined at being the recipient of such sympathy. And there was no excuse for missing that day. Thebirds were feeding’ on wild cher- ries, in comparatively open country. It was the opportunity of a hunting career, and yet Dutton, the failure, who knew he was a fail- ure, could not hit! Noon passed; the light waned. ‘‘Well, old “It's easy when you make up your mind you've got to do something.” chap, let’s call it a day,’’ he sighed, and they swung back toward home. Fifty paces on, the dog stiffened. He stretched out slowly, tail like a ramrod, nose thrust straight forward, the one foot close against his side, a perfect point. This was a chance! No foliage, no cover for nearly a hundred yards. “Steady, now!’ Sassed the dog. pect 23 The bird roared out. He went to the left and away at an easy angle, the easiest angle of all for a right-handed shot. The sight went far ahead of the grouse, wabbled up- ward and down, behind him, ahead again and then, instead of keeping the muzzle moving, Dutton stopped it. The bird crossed the sight as the man fired, his charge scattering yards behind. “Gosh!”’ he breathed. ‘‘That’s too bad. But then———” He ejected the exploded shells and looked for the dog. Patch had not come to him. He was not wagging his tail. He was not looking at him with that old eagerness mingled with sorrow. He was sitting down, with his back to his master, head hung and gazing away. For a moment Dutton stared at him. Then he asked, ‘‘What’s the matter, Patch?’ The dog stirred, as an frritated man might shift himself in a chair, Dutton walked toward him. The tail did not move as the man spoke, and he uttered the dog’s name again with something like alarm in the tone. Patch moved his head sharply and looked over his shoulder, and Dutton stopped short. The upper lip was half drawn back and in those eyes which had always been so gentle and sympathetic was a light of offended dig- nity, of anger! For a moment neither stirred. Dutton muttered as he “T’ll try, but I don’t ex- The ex- - pression was as marked as though the dog. had been given voice and used it to curse his master roundly. In it were disgust and sting- ing rebuke, and as Dutton stood staring in bewilderment Patch looked away with a surly grunt, a grunt which indicated, as plainly as any sound could, contempt for unpardonable failure! Dutton put down his gun. “Come here, old boy,” he said, and dropped to one knee. The setter looked at him and then away, and sneezed. Sneezed! “Come here!’’—making his voice firm. Siill the dog did not move. “Do you hear me, Patch? Come in, sir!” At that, the habit of obedience prevailed, and with another sneeze the dog slunk in. Dutton took his muzzle in one hand, but the setter would not look at him. He rolled his eyes away from that scrutiny and jerked his head in annoyance. He was sullen, an- tagonistic! “Well, for the love of Pete!”’ cried Dutton with a tremor as Patch drew away and stood back, looking off into the distance, indif- ferent, interested in anything but his master. “Why, Patch! * *.* What's come into you? * © * QOh, Lord!” For the first time in all his born days Dutton was being blamed for failure, and | by the one who had been closest to him, on whose loyalty and sufferance he had counted most! if Dutton rose, picked up his gun and aim- lessly put in fresh shells. His hands trem bled as a hot flash surged through his body. The dog’s scorn stirred no combative wrath in him. It stung, it smarted, it hurt terri- bly, and after that hurt a species of anger did assert itself, but it was impatience and disgust with self. As he had seen himself that afternoon with the creditors, Dutton saw himself again. ‘Thirty-five and a failure. Men are not remade in any single mo- ment, but there are times when processes. of reconstruction that have worked beneath the gurface for long burst out in a sudden over- throw of old attributes and characteristics.

He, started to walk on, but the dog, rising, only Misea at heel. “Hie on!” The words came with a new sharpness, for Dutton’s breath was quickened by that strange pound of his heart. ‘Hear me, Patch? Go on, bay!” He waved his hand with an imperious gesture, a command- ing, positive motion, the like’of which he had never made before, and the dog looked at him ¢uriously. ‘I said—hie on!” The tip of Patch’s tail waggled and he raised his head, Dutton. blinded to dctail for the moment by the rampant emotions in his breast, did not realize what was hap- pening, He saw only disobedience in the face of his new resolution. He snapped his command again, and started forward. Then he checked himself. The black, moist nose was working. The nostrils quirked and expanded and twitched. The tail wi’ waggling. Patch’s ears came up and he started slowly forward. He went tentatively, then with tensing assurance; the motion of his tail dwindled to a vibration of its tip; he stopped and froze, They were at the head of a thick swamp. Down in the hollow, clover grew among the stumps. Patch had caught the body scent of a feeding bird; his animosity for his master had disappeared before this call to instinct. He was pointing * * * still pointing after being betrayed, after being imposed upon for years! A great sense of responsibility settled over Dutton, and unconsciously he braced his shoulders, and lifted his gun half way to po- sition, releasing the safety catch. He went on past his stanchly pointing dog boldly, quickly, with strong, sure steps, ready for the ““Whur-r-r-r!”’ In a mad thunder of wing the bird roared out of the brush. He whirled toward the open, cutting a sharp circle, rushing away « from Dutton and swinging back for the near covert. It was a short, sharp, twisting flight. It was seconds only from sanctuary. It was a hard shot, a shot which had the up- : ward, the outward, and the lateral angle. A: man could misjudge in at least six different ~ ways; that is, a man could who would let himself misjudge. Dutton’s cheek went against the cool stock with a slam. Both eyes open, feet stanchly spread, hand squeezing the grip, he stoed, The bird flashed over the sight, polished metal swung with the blur of wings. It did not waver, it did not falter. It opened a space, it kept on swinging * * * under Heaven he would! The powder crashed. Patch dropped. For an instant there was silence, and then, from his streaking, competent, living flight, the grouse made a wilting pitch and struck with a bounce and a swish and a flutter in the dry bracken, Dutton’s voice, trembling a bit, strained and deliberate, followed: “Fetch, Patch. Dead bird!’’ Minutes later they sat there, the man On a charred log, the dog on his haunches be- fore him. Patch’s tail scrubbed among the dead leaves, making a pleasant rustle. His ears were drooped backward, not meekly, but with becoming modesty, as he sat in patient waiting with the plump, warm body in his mouth. The sinking sun reached a rift in the elouds and swiftly a golden light flooded the country. Cherry bark stood out in deep ma- roon, birches were like streaks of frost, bare poplars showed dull, gray-green. The sharp, hot thrill in Dutton’s heart did not expire. his singing heart. He saw in Patch’s eyés a light that he had never beheld before, of but re- The bit of It was still in his flesh, still in * satisfaction in a job done, of reward for pa- . tience and persistence, and the dog stirred, | whimpered lowly with joy as he gently rolled his tongue on the feathers in his mouth!

ple Lovely? By WILL ROGERS ELL all I know is just what I W read in the papers. Or what comes prowling around up on the old hilltop at Beverly. I don’t know what it is, whether it is old age, I don’t believe its old age, for its 2 condition that has always been with me, that is I am a great admirer of old people. Of course we will all say that we are, and everybody has unlimited respect for them. But what I mean | like to meet em and hear em talk. I have got great respect for what they did in their day and time. This thing we are living in is not a day or time. It’s just a MESS. A few days ago we had the pleasure of having in our home,’ (1 might say modest home) for we are the only home in Beverly that has low ceilings, eat din- ner at noon and supper thirty minutes before going to bed. Haven't a grecian tennis court, and the hired Girl (I said THE hired not A hired Girl) says, “Din- ner is ready for you all,” instead of a Butler bowing low and announcing, “The meal is served, Madam.” This visitor we had was what I con- sider one of the outstanding women of America. It was Miss Alice Robert- son, of Muscogee, Okla., as the country affectionately knows her, “Miss Alice.” She was our Congresswoman from Okla- homa, and if memory serves me right the second woman to sit in that great lawmaking body. Miss Jeanette Ran- kin was first. * * a + MESS ALICE is a very lovely kindly old Lady. She has devoted a long and useful life to do nothing but help someone else. She was on her way to Oakland, Cal., to attend the great meet- ing of the Club women of America, she had been sent by her State as the outstanding woman. , She has been . faised among our people the Cherokees, also the Creeks and Seminoles. Her father and Mother before her were Mis- sionaries among the Indians. She has lived right around Muscogee all her life. She is a Republican in Politics and a Democrat in actions. She was elected as a Republican in a Democratic constit- uency. She was defeated because. she voted against the Soldiers Bonus ,Bill in Congress. Yet she was all during the war and is today the greatest friend the Soldier ever had. She voted against it, because she thought it was a mere pit- tance, that it was just a Political Hand- out to get the votes of the Soldiers. If it had been five thousand dollars apiece she would: have voted for it. She ran a Restaurant in Muscogee and went broke doing nothing but feeding Sol- diers free. Women of various clubs went out against her because she was against the “maternity bill.”” She thought that wamen should be allowed to have chil- dren in privacy without any meddling of the State or Government to see if it was anticeptic or not. Her house burned down, she lost everything she had. She was supposed to have struck oil on her land, it turned out to be only gas, and not enough to pay, so they plugged the hole up again. Yet has a good word-for everybody. According to her, the world ain’t wrong, the interests are not against her. She has been well repaid, the world don’t owe her anything, she is happy, she don’t worry, she is just a wonderful old lady and I am glad its Oklahoma that claims her. * * * * NOTHER old Oklahoman was up to see me, a man that when I was a kid growing up on a ranch in the old Indian territory, why this man owned more cattle than any man in the Nation That was W.

(Copyright, 1927, the McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) WHAT IS LITERATURE? A literature is the spiritual interpretation of an age. It is the expression and illumi- nation of the sorrows, the conflicts, the burdens and the aspirations of one’s own time. True literature shows us the eternal laws operating under. common and fleeting forms of life around us. True literature is a pathfinder: it lights the road for all that is aspiring in our destiny. A great literature is never an accident; it is truly an evolution as is a tree. The litera- ture of a nation is the outcome of its whole life. Its growth is determined by four mighty forces: Race, or heredity; environment, or physical and social conditions; epoch, or the spirit of the age; personality, or that which is fundamental in man’s nature. Each man is born with all the momentum of his race within him. We look big because we stand upon the shoulders of all the pre- ceding generations. We are the fruit of the past and the seed of the future. . Next, we come to environment, or the impress of nature and society upon literature. Climate, sky, soil and occupation—all these have acted upon generation after genertion of English- men, until a distinct type of man has been produced. The spirit of the age is also an- other powerful factor in the shaping of a literature. As stone against stone, humanity and literature shapes, and is also shaped. A great writer must have some message for the world—a great truth that is even higher than his own era. But the form which that message shall take depends chiefly upon his epoch. He can not write with the large power of Shakespeare’s time, because the language is not ready for him. Each age has its spirit and its possibilities, But in the building of a literature there is a final, strange force beyond race environ- ment, and epoch; it is the ineffaceable ele- ment of personality in man. What is called genius is the highest, keenest manifestation of personality. Genuis remakes the society which evolves it. It not only expresses but intensifies the national type, and the eternal, that under- lies all types. Genius becomes the golden key to the locked-up ideal of the multitude. Great literature is genius speaking its interpreta- tion of the. acts and aspirations of an age—of the meaning and the mystery of life.—Edwin | Markham in the Smokers Companion.

AUGUST 14, 1927. | A man went into a restaurant in New York and ordered clam chowder. He claims he fished around in the chowder for quite a while without success. He says there was chowder, but no clams. He called the proprie- tor, told him of the absence of the clams and refused to pay for the chowder. The proprie- tor resented this and bit the customer on the nose. The case was taken to court. The magistrate, a man who had decided many a tough case in his day, was baffled. He couldn’t say whether a chowder is a chowder if it contains no clams._ There the situation rests unless, since this was written, the plaintiff has taken the case to the United States Supreme Court. Clam Issue Two-Sided. He represents one side of the chowder prob- lem. HeAs the protagonist of the pro-clam element, by no means a negligible portion of the population. No candidate for the Presi- dency can afford to offend the pro-clam fac- tion for the ranks of both the major parties are well sprinkled with its adherents, On the other hand, there is the anticlam crowd; the group that would be just as well satisfied if clams were left out of chowder. These comprise mainly people who have suf- fered broken teeth when, on eating clam chowder, they suddenly got a piece of clam shell by mistake. There are alsO many people who are strangely affected by clams. A clam in the room will cause them to shudder and they are not at ease until the clam has been re- moved... Sometimes these are the people who in childhood at the seashore have been chased and frightened by clams, causing what doc- tors term a clam neurosis. So that there are two sides to this, as to every question. Whereas the plaintiff in the suit referred to was affected by the absence of clams in his chowder, there are plenty of people who would be just as much affected by the presence of clams. The chowder being served, these people bend very low over the bowl and spend half. an hour or an hour searching around in it for stray bits of clam. which, when unearthed, they lift hastily from the chowder and fling from them with a vast deal of abhorrence. These bits of flung clam travel at an amazing rate of speed, and when a diner at an opposite end of the room is struck by one of them, he is often at a loss to understand what has hit him, unless he is in the know. Some restaurants employ special minions whose duty it is to carefully watch eaters of clam chowder and ‘catch deftly in a sort of butterfly net all the pieces of clam the anti- clamites may fling. These beaters acquire a great dexterity in catching bits of clam and are considered a real asset to a restaurant since they often attract crowds of people who are as much interested in watching them catch bits of clams as they are in eating. These beaters are allowed to keep all the pieces of flung clam and, after deducting a pound or so for their own use, if they happen to be fond of clam chowder, they sell the rest to the clam people, who try to piece the vari- ous bits together until a whole clam is con- structed. Clear Soup a Solution. It is still a problem, however, and no mat- ter how eagerly an anticlam person may strive to rid his chowder of the obnoxious shellfish, he is never quite sure that it is entirely free of them. The solution, of course, would be to make the chowder without the clam, but as any ardent chowder fan will tell you, half the game is in the uncertainty, the gamble; and that if he knew the chowder had never seen a clam, even the most fanatical anti- clamite would somehow find eating chowder a dull game. Clam chowder is an uncertain victual at best, like vegetable soup, the various stews. chicken salad and the proverbial hash. If honest restaurants would file a schedule with each dish of chowder, stating truthfully the nature and number of the various ingredients contained in it, a great deal of confusion and worry might be avoided. The safest thing is to order a clear soup; one whose bottom you can see at all times, /BEAUTY AND YOU YOU MUST LIE IN IT. IF YOU MAKE YOUR BED By Viola Paris HIS is not, as you may have sup- ts posed from the heading, a treatise on morals. It’s a con- cisé course on how to get as much comfort and thorough rest out of the hours spent in bed as possible. As modern as we may be in other respects, our theories of sleep and the proper way of preparing a bed for its occupant are remarkably old-fashioned, Jne does not have to wander to provin- cial districts of France to find all- eveloping feather beds which offer abso- lutely no support to the body and which® help to form distinctly bad sleeping habits. These are found even in city apartments, where there is absolutely no way to air beds properly. I do not know how the users of these beds avoid serious hygienic problems. A bed should be placed away frow the wall and slightly raised off the floor. It should’ be of some wood (or metal if sanitary conditions are not what they could be wished for) that :s easily cleaned. The mattress should bs neither very hard nor very soft—one that molds only slightly to the figure is best. Horsehair mattresses are very com- fortable, and if one expects to replace the mattress every few years this is, perhaps, the best choice. Floss mattresses are both serv- iceable and comfortable. A word of warning may be passed on here about the point of purchase. No matter how important the price of your mattress is don’t, for health’s sake, buy this article from an unreliable cheap dealer, for it is true that the most indescribable stuffing is used in these mattresses. It is sufficient to say that the origin of their filling is often the junk heap, and that the stuffing is sel- dom given more than a superficial cleansing which in no way eliminates the danger of contagion. The sheets used on a bed should be gen- erous and of a material durable but smooth to touch. There are several excellent makes of ready-to-use sheets, obtainable in many grades and prices. Here, again, cost should play a lesser role, for cheap sheets measure a few inches shorter and the hems are scant and badly sewn. When buying sheets ask for measurements by the required number of inches rather than for “single,” ‘‘three-quar- ters’ or ‘“‘double”’ size sheets. When meas- uring beds it is best to allow as much as 20 to 24 inches more than the length of the bed, and the sheets should be proportionately wide. Percale is, perhaps, the most serviceable of every-day fabrics for this purpose. A great choice is possible here, for there are many qualities and manners of finishing ep and- © VOGUE The comfortableness of the bed is extremely important, for it means the healthful and beautifying rest of the body. hemstitching is a very lovely trimming, as is the simplest kind of embroidered scalloped . edge. Fine linen is the material par excel- lence for this use, and a suitable monogram in the finest handwork is charming when placed about 12 inches from the top edge of the upper sheet. Sheets of crepe de chine have lately won fashionable approval, but, needless to say, silks are not highly prac- tical and are decidedly out of place on the sick bed. White remains the best choice for bed linens, although certain. versions of merit have appeared in pastel-tinted linens. A sanitary pad should be placed between the mattress and the first sheet, which must be well tucked in so that it will not crumple and cause lumps of discomfort under the sleeper. The edges should be so folded as to appear square. The upper sheet should also be securely folded under at the bottom and most of the way up both sides. A lightweight pure wool blanket’ should. be folded double over the sheet, the top edge of which is folded over to protect the edge of the woolen coverlet. Incidentally, there are, in the market, blanket covers of cotton or silk which can be but- toned over the woolen piece and which eco- nomically prevent soiling. It is a mistake to think that a quantity of eovers contributes great warmth. One pure wool comforter, well tucked into place, gives greater warmth than two or three covers of mixed materials. The fragrance of lavender noticeable when one steps between the sheets is more than in- viting and restful—it sends one to sleep in a pleasant frame of mind, and this, too, is im- portant. Sachets of this old-fashioned scent should be placed in the linen closet and re- where feasible, plenished when the perfufhie’ seems too faint to permeate the bed things. Sleeping with the head too high seems 4 common mistake and yet it is harmful, for it prevents the easy circulation of the blood through the entire body. One low, not-too- soft pillow is enough concession to our su- percivilization—to sleep without any is much better and can be done without discomfort — ‘if one will just exercise that ategnant will power: When pillows are used the same care ‘ needed in buying them as in purchasing the mattress, for the same insanitary conditions prevail where quality is not the first con- cern. Slips for the pillows should be ample in size. so that the contents are not crowded into the cover. The head cushion should also be a happy medium between hard and soft, but, above all, it should be scant and low. To sleep on one’s back is very healthful, but few people seem to be able to fall asleep in this position. And, of the two sides, there is really very little preference between the right and the left. It is best to change about, not always lying on the same side. : It is, of course, highly desirable to change one’s bedding every day; but when the budget builder is keeping her eye on the laundry bills, she may not find that possible. Twice a week, then, fresh linen is put on. And each morning, after proper airing, the beds are made with the exact same care from top to bottom—even the mattress should pref- erably be turned. The question of single or double beds has no ground for argument, for it is much more healthful for every person to sleep alone and, in separate rooms. (Copyright. 1927. by Vogue.)

When German troops retreated from occupied portions of northern France they systemati- cally and scientifically destroyed the French coal mines. So thoroughly was the job done that in 1919 the French could get from their restored but damaged mines less than 20,000 tons of coal, whereas in 1913 the same mines had yielded 28,000,000 tons. — ,, The diplomats who framed the peace treaty set themselves the task of compensating France as best they could for her gutted mines. They decided to replace them tem- porarily with German mines. in which they are located adjoined the new French frontier formed by the restoration of © Alsace-Lorraine.

Practically all the mines were the state property, of Prussia and Bavaria. The decision to give the mines to France ran into political and economic obstacles, The region could not be left under German con- trol because French property rights could not be assured of protection. Furthermore, the almost solidly German population and the German property could not fairly be placed under French control. The League of Na- tions therefore set up the unique entity. A region including not only all mines under operation, but also the entire coal fields, was carved out.. The greater part of the territory lies north and east of the Saar River, but in- ‘@udes a narrow strip on the opposite bank.

Why are you so late?’”’ Mrs. Larson asked her daughter one winter afternoon. : “Oh, mother, I didn’t know a single word of that hateful battle of Bladensburg, so Miss Brooke made me stay in and write, but I still don’t know it.” Well, then, my dear, the only thing to do is to tell you the story of the battle of Bla- densburg. It was in the year 1812, and Eng- land had again sought to put us under her rule. Thus far she had been unsuccessful. The British ocean fleet, which carried a large number of soldiers, had burned severa] New England coast towns which were in or near the vicinity of the ships of the English. Then \ suddenly, to our dismay, there appeared a large number of men-o’-war in the Chesa- peake Bay not far from Washington, which at that time contained only 8,000 citizens. It was the battle of Bladensburg, which the Red Coats won, which urged them on the Capi- tal. When the Americans were defeated, it left the Capital defenseless and exposed to the enemy. The President was with the Army when a message reached Dolly Madison at the White House and urged her to hurry to a place of safety. She ordered the silverware and other valuable household articles, to- gether with the famous portrait of George Washington and the original copy of the Declaration of Independence, to be loaded on a wagon and then she escaped in her carriage to a tavern 16 miles away, where her husband joined her. pee | ap act “It is said the reason for the burning of Washington by the English was becaiise a year previous the American general, |Dear- born, had captured York, and some American soldiers, entirely without orders, had Hurned the fine Parliament house. ‘ There, th story of the battle of Bladensburg. you understand it?” | Wace “Indeed I do, mother,” and she prgvéc = - r 4 te, ; 4 " > aia ] i W : ERE, . wader 2s ee ae ero See.” ?

MARIAN L. MAY (age 16). Hyattsville, Md. , At the Seashore. (Honorable Mention). The balmy ocean breezes, the glowing sun, and the warm wind all encouraged bathing in Oceanboro. Children splashed in the water, played in the sand or the ones who could swim, thrilled at each stroke in the un- usually calm water of the resort. | Mildred Keyes and her sister Bertha (Bertie for short), were excellent swimmers. The twins, though only 13 years old, always swam many feet over their heads and a great many times made the onlookers gasp as they did perfect swan dives and somersaults in the air, So apparently easy and graceful. It made them laugh when they once heard a woman say that she wondered if they really were not the direct descendants of Poseidon, the ruler of the sea. Each morning, very bright and early, they would go in for a morning dip before the crowd invaded the sparkling water. One morning the water was very rough and the day was considerably colder in comparison with the last week or so. Cold could not daunt these practiced swimmers, so they went down to the farther end of the beach, which was nearest to their hotel and where few people swam. Bertie plunged in. A large wave went over her head and instead of seeing her sister after the wave had gone, Mildred saw no trace of her. For the first time in her life she was possessed with a fear of the water, but never- theless, boldly plunged into the midst of the high breakers, went under water and catching hold of her sister, who had lapsed into uncon- sciousness, towed her to shore. _ With no one save herself to make Bertie come to, Mildred accomplished the task in al- most record time. , ‘ Soon Bertie asked with a start, ‘‘Where am I? Oh Mildred! I had such an awful cramp and when that water came over me I couldn’t do a thing,’’ she finished with a shudder. As they went back to the hotel, arm in arm, they knew that the popular saying, “‘Ac- cidents happen, even to experts,” was true.

(Honorable Mention.) While visiting some friends who lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains, my girl friends and I thought we would explore the moun- tains around the place where the camp was made. We started out very early one morn- ing, carrying our lunch with us. We had not walked more than a mile from camp when suddenly there loomed out of the white veil of mist a little house. Seated on the doorstep was a very old man, who seemed wrapped in thought. He raised his gray head as we approached and gave up a welcome smile. As we were about to leave { asked one of the girls if she would recite “The House by the Side of Road.’ She did, and when she had finished, the old man seemed wrapped in thought again. As we started to make the turn in the road we heard the old man saying, ‘‘Let me live in the house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.’’ MAGGIE STOWERS (age 13). Dickerson, Md. The Ghost. (Honorable Mention). Tom and Jim were great friends. They had been chums all their lives. Now, as they con- sidered them quite grown up at fourteen, they were allowed to go camping in Maine for the summer. They had an uncle who lived in a little town and so they decided to camp in the woods near the village. They found an ideal spot in the woods a mile or so from town. They soon pitched their tent and started camping in earnest. One night Tom said, ‘“‘I say, Jim, let’s go. exploring. I’ve heard of a haunted house where the spooks walk. Want to go?” ‘I’m game if you are,’ was Jim’s reply. ‘‘Let’s take a sandwich or two, we might get hungry,” called Tom from. within the tent. As he came out Jim shouted ‘‘A sandwich or two! Why you are taking a regular din- ner.” “Don’t worry. I think you and I can make **Let’s go if we’re going,”’ said Tom. They hiked down the road and by the time the moon rose they arrived. ‘“‘Let’s go in,” suggested Jim. *‘Come on,” was the reply. _In they went and explored every room but In the meantime clouds had covered the sky. Then all of a sudden it poured. ‘ The boys were alarmed at the prospect of spending the night in the old house. “Tom, do you think there really is a ghost?” asked Jim. | “‘No!”’ came the reply. | The boys made the best of matters and ate their lunch of sandwiches and cake. Then they lay down on the floor and went to sleep. The boys woke at the same time and looked at their watches, which said midnight. Then Tom said, ‘Say this is the hour the ghosts like to walk around, isn’t it?” Mt a said J e Picgos sting a They were ra t nervous. en Jim grabbed Tom. “Hook.” he said. “Look over there by the door!” Tom looked.

British forces up the Potomac, but each and every time the British failed to come. The Nation had been made overconfident by the successes of her Navy—but Washington lay -unprotected. One morning, it was on August 22, 1814, word reached the city that the enemy were approaching and by evening of the following day very few women or chil- dren remained in the city. In the meantime, the British troops were slowly but surely nearing the city. The en- emy fleet had dropped anchor in the Patuxent River and on August 20 the British, leaving Benedict, a small town about fifteen miles from the mouth of the river, began a four day march toward Washington. In the after- noon of August 22, they reached Upper Marl- boro, 16 miles from Washington via the East- ern Branch bridge. Only 2,500 soldiers, commanded by Gen. Winder, and 600 sailors under command of Capt, Barney, who had sunk his flotilla rather than surrender to the British and had joined the land forces, separated the British from their goal. On the morning of the twenty-second, the American Army had been stationed at Wood- yard, but the next evening had fallen back to Old Fields, some 7 miles from Washing- ton. Later, on the same day, August 23, they again fell back, this time to the city side of the Eastern Branch bridge, fearing that the enemy were approaching by another road. ‘This, as was later proved, was a great mistake; for, if they had had proper informa- tion, the American leaders would have known that the enemy were not marching toward the bridge, and instead of crossing to the city that night the Americans would have blown up the bridge and stationed the Army in proper order on the Bladensburg side, which was the only way the enemy could have entered the city. The next morning, August 24, was a blis- tering hot day and the Americans were ex- hausted. About 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the red coats of the British could be seen as they passed through the village to the Eastern Branch bridge. They, too, were worn out after their march but they were soldiers and had a definite plan of attack, whereas the Americans were in- experienced and were badly stationed. The i z iz a Se 4, into action, Gen. Winder gave the order to retreat. While this was happening, Capt. Barney and his sailors brought their guns into action and made the most effective re- sistence the enemy received. The gallant commander of the artillery and his brave men were soon overcome and made prisoners, however, and the battle ended. The British reported 64 killed and 185 wounded, while the Americans had 26 killed and 51 wounded. By 4 o’clock that afternoon, the Washing- ton road was filled with a confused mass of soldiers, horses and wagons, As the retreat- ing American forces passed through the city the troop. stationed there joined them and they withdrew to Tenleytown and from Tenleytown they went, on the following day, on to Baltimore. At dusk, on the evening of August 24, the evening of the battle at Bladensburg, the British leader, Gen. Ross, led his ex- hausted troops into the Capital City, vic- torious. As everyone knows, nearly all of Washington’s public buildings, including the Capitol and the White House, were burned to the ground by the pillaging British, but the Capitol, rebuilt, stands today, the symbol of a Nation which, in spite of the greatest handicaps, has lived through the years, led by such men as the artillery commander at the Battle of Bladensburg. \ Pi BETTY MOFFET (age 14.) 2019 Massachusetts avenue northwest. Book Review. (Honorable Mention.) — “The Prince of India’ is a most unusual and wonderful story from the golden pen of Gen, Lewis Wallace. It is a book that fur- nishes food for thought in religious and philosophical branches, and pictures with vivid and faithful clearness the downfall of Constantinople. There is a gripping story woven about the historical events of the day. The mysterious Prince of India is, of course, the principal. figure, a wicked and tragic figure. There is ‘the great-souled Princess Irene, Kins- woman of the king, and noble Mirza, who is loved by the rulers of Moslem and Chris- tian alike; Sergius, the fair monk, who loved. the Prince’s Gul-Bahar, and Nilo, powerful black king of Kasb-Cush. It is a great book, great of theme, and writ- ten as only: Lew Wallace could write. Apa ? * eee ANNE KING (age 16). .. titel 7 ; bes oft : +e * 3 Sin a “~~ Ad 3 ‘ J r Sa Ay . . ‘ .
