PASSAGE OF M’FADDEN BILL RESULTS IN ACTION Loans on Real Estate Were Provided For in En- acted Measure. In a recent article in the American Bankers Association Journal, Reuben A. Lewis, jr., associate editor of that maga- zine, reviews exhustively under the title, “‘New Rules for National Banks,” the situation in respect to 8,000 na- tional banks and their procedure under rules and regulations that are to be drawn up by the Comptroller of the Currency. The necessity for these rules grew out of the passage of the McFadden bill, enacted by the last Congress. One of the features of this bill was the per- mission for national banks to make five-year loans on approved real estate. Reference to the McFadden bill was made in the April issue of Real Estate Magazine. In referring to the rules to be made by the Comptroller of the Currency, Mr. Lewis says: “This task is the most exacting du that the passage of the McFadden bill by Congress imposed on Comptroller McIntosh, but there are séveral other points that must be ruled on by the Government official, who is charged with supervising the national banks of the country. Some rather fine dis- tinctions must be drawn and perhaps some new requirements introduced to give effect to the liberalized and mod- ernized national banking code.” Passing to the subject of “Marketable Investment Securities,” Mr. Lewis says: Defining Marketable Obligations. “By far the most difficult task that the Comptroller of the Currency faces in the realm of new rules and regu- lations relates to declaring what may be considered as marketable invest- ment securities. rulings, the controller first decided to seek the views of about 50 seasoned men in the investment and banking houses,. investment bankers and com- mercial bankers. With the data thus secured a preliminary draft of rules and regulatoins will be made and sub- mitted to a group of twelve or fifteen practical advisers. After receiving their criticisms, the comptroller’s office will put out the final rules and regu- lations that will govern the national banks in their buying and selling of investment securities. “Congress said that the national banks should be limited: in their deal- ings to ‘marketable’ investment securi- ties, and it is this feature which prom- ises to give the most trouble. At this stage, it is obvious that the real estate mortgage bonds and the unlisted se- curities present real difficulties be- cause there is no considerable ready market for them. “In the past, the comptroller’s office has ruled real estate mortgage bonds to be loans up on the security of real es- state antl bank examiners have been able to keep them out of the banks’ list of investments. Unless the real estate mortgage bond houses can devise some means of giving the securities a ready marketable value or convince the comptroller that they are in all respects truly ‘marketable,’ as defined by Con- gress, it appears that their status will not be much improved. The suggestion has been made that the real estate bond houses might set up an exchange, where these real estate bonds could be traded in from day to day. This pro- posal has been made to some of the leading men in the real estate mort- gage bond business, but jit seemingly has not met with much encourage- ment. Some of the bond houses insist that they make a market for their se- curities by offering to buy them back at a figure only slightly less than par but, inasmuch as the volume of bonds sponsored by any of these real estate bond houses greatly exceeds its capital resources, the ability to give market- ability to all issues would be somewhat limited. “The houses, which sell guaranteed mortgage certificates and back these securities by their own capital, are ap- parently in a stronger position. In Stronger Position. “The position of the real estate mortgage bond houses has been im- proved by the McFadden bill, in spite of the fact that the law specifies that only ‘marketable’ securities can be han- dled. Previously, the bonds were ‘on the outside and did not have a chance to get in. Now there is a possibility that some of the issues will be ap- proved as investment securities, and, if arrangements are perfected to make them readily marketable, they may be- come more generally acceptable to banks. In giving its sanction to real estate mortgage loans on improved city property for a period of five years, Congress declared that a bank could not participate in a real estate loan, but would have to make all of it. This effectually excluded the possibility of a bank bringing in a real estate mort- gage bond in the guise of a teal estate “The comptroller’s office is mindful of the far-reach importance of the definition of what is a marketable, in- pica gl security. It has been sug ges sanctioned as investments for national banks, will gain strength in their pop- ular appeal, although the rules and regulations will not deal with individ- ual securities, but with investment ob- e | ligations that fulfill certain basic re- * | quirements.

If the real estate mort- gage bond houses can satisfy the comptroller on this score, they may Succeed in making their obligations eligible for purchase as investments by national banks, for it is known that he would like to include some real estate bonds among the eligible securities. “However, there are a number of questions as to real estate mortgage bonds that must be considered before the final regulations are drafted. “It is definitely foreshadowed that the comptroller will insist that the evi- dences of marketability of all invest- ment securities be virtually self-evi- dent. How this can be done in the case of real estate mortgage bonds has not yet beeh indicated. Where is the line to be drawn, in the definition of real estate bonds, that will include some classes and exclude others? “As the safety and value of a real estate bond depends upon a proper ap- praisal of the underlying property, what evidence of an expert and rea- sonable appraisal is to be required? It has been suggested that the certifi- cation of the official appraiser of the local real estate board should be in- sisted upon in all cases. Are bonds building of apartment houses, office buildings, hotels and business struc- tures to be regarded as investment se- curities before work on the structure has been begun or completed? Shouia the question of the earning power be | considered in connection with market- ability?» Should only those bonds is- sued by houses which trustee their real estate bond issues with a bank or trust company be declared eligible? “These and many other questions, it is understood, are to be considered even before the Comptroller makes a preliminary draft of the rules and regu- lations that will govern the national banks in the investment security business. “The prime consideration in the whole matter is that the investments of national banks be liquid.

EDUCATIONAL WORLD CALLED ON TO HELP Strict Codes to Rule Conduct Now Becoming General to Control Activities. By HERBERT U. NELSON (Executive Secretary, National Associa- tion of Real Estate Boards.) Why is the realtor seeking to make of his business a profession? His efforts to do so are not sporadic; all over the United States and Canada individual real estate men and real es- tate boards are earnestly studying to improve their methods and to add to the body of their knowledge. Now and then, of course, some old-timer will stand out against the trend and insist that being a plain business man is good enough for him. But by far the great- est majority of realtors have made it one of the definite objectives of the whole organization movement. Why? All important business enterprises which have found places in the com- munity life are more and more aspiring to the professional attitude. They are realizing that the men of any one calling have matters in com- mon more important than any individ- ual causes of jealous rivalry. They recognize a natural fellowship. In this fellowship there are no secrets—the ex- change of information and research is free and open to all. Experience and Research Assembled. Such a fellowship seeks to build an organized body of knowledge by assem- bling the results of experience and re- search. It undertakes to teach not only its own members, but also those who are thinking of entering the calling. It seeks to set up entrance qualifications with which the newcomers must com- y: American business has called on the educational world for:help. In the past few years practically every university in ' the country has established a school of Even Harvard, long devoted _to the academic in education, has at QUOTA WORK IS URGED A vivid mental picture of a definite task, a relentless determination to ac- complish that task within a limited time—these constitute the primary cause of success in selling. Every salesman works to a quota, whether he thinks of it as such or not. Each separate deal is a quota while it is pending, because it is a mental pic- ture of a definite task. “Whatever is, existed mentally first.” Every sale exists in some one’s imagi- nation before it exists in reality. A sale is literally created. It first exists mentally in the mind of the‘ salesman; it is then transferred through sugges- tions ‘to the mind of the buyer, and when approval is induced there, it be- comes a fact. Successful selling, there- fore, consists in creating sales men- tally, then bringing them into reality. Instead of this being done in a hap- hazard way according to the whim of the individual salesman, why should it not be done systematically by direc- tion of the management? It is the business of sales manage- ment to mentally create sales. If imag- inary sales do not exist clearly in the mind of a saleseman, actual sales will never come into existence through his efforts. The establishing of a sales quota for a’salesman, for a sales de- partment, or for an entire organization, means mentally creating a definite amount of business to be closed with-- in a limited time. | A common error in fixing quotas is to set the mark too high. Instead of choosing a figure which lies at the outer edge of possibility or barely within the range. of probability, it is best to keep within the circle of certainty. That its to say, an amount of business that can certainly be dttained through proper diligence and enthusiastic application. Every salesman should understand thor- oughly that the quota assigned to him must be reached, that it is the mini- mum. of business he is expected and re- quired to do, not the maximum it is hoped he may do. The latter means nothing. A salesman always has the privilege of rising aboye his quota, but hé can not be excused for falling be- low it. An excellent basis for contests and bonuses is to award prizes or pay bonuses on the percentage of business closed in excess of quota. A sales quota is of value only when the salesman or the sales unit to which it is assigned is thoroughly interested in it and fully resolved to attain it. With this interest and determination kept vigorously alive the quota becomes a powerful stimulant to production. An excellent means of keeping these alive and of mentally creating the business, is to visualize continually’ the amount of the sales to be made. If, for in- stance, the quota is $20,000 a month, the salesman must’keep the figure, $20,- 000, continually before his mind. -He must visualize the contracts be- ing signed, which total $20,000. If his commission on the quota of business would be $1,000 per month, he must see himself receiving this money. If this } poaba ener Ss checks are green, he must visualize green ch his name and totaling $1,000 the month. And his mental vision must penetra ther and see the buyer enjoy highly ar yep mental ac- salesman are ae ubt. The best | them re speine A Te 6 bamiptt = 5.6 7c 08 fe sber.s stent Ht FAC.

Business leaders are speaking of this change as “the new competition.” What does this new competition mean to us? In one sense, nothing to worry about. Business, as a whole, is stable and op- timistic. After the great activity of the past years real estate is taking a breathing spell. Although here and have in other places a rising market. Construction, which is. always a good index of our business, shows no mate- rial recession. According to the present outlook this year will show as large a construction total as any we have had. Herbert Hoover predicted a big construction year, and he is always well informed. We shall have a million more people to house this year, with the growth of our population. Higher standards of living will continue to demand better living quarters and bet- ter office structures. But we must prepare to meet new there we have a declining market, we! conditions. Economic revolution: is stealing upon us quictly and we must adjust ourselves to it. The solutions of the problems of pro- duction have proceeded more rapidly than other business problems. - Today as a consequence the emphasis in busi- ness is no longer on production. As a nation we can produce almost any com- modity in-any quantity we want. The emphasis today is on marketing and stimulation of consumption, not on production. The consumer must be persuaded to buy a commodity in order that it may be worth while to produce that commodity. Henry Ford says the next twenty years will be known as the marketing age in our history. This emphasis on marketing is usher- ing in what O. A. Cheney, vice president of the American Exchange Trust Co., New York City, has termed the “new competition.” In the race for the con- sumer’s dollar, the great competition to- CONTINUED:ON PAGE 5, COLUMN 4. | KNOW YOUR WASHINGTON | A series of articles prepared by leaders on subjects of interest By C.

CITY AMONG LEADING 25 IN CONSTRUCTION $2,500,000 Spent by Industry During July; 494 Munici- palities Report. Building in Washington, while it has not reached the abnormal peaks set in the two or three preceding years, is, nevertheless, continuing in a healthy manner, as is evidenced by the latest building surveys. It has always been a marked feature of Washington business that it reflects the general business conditions of the country to a remarkable degree. Any falling off in construction here this year is evidence of the sound and stable manner in which the local market is handled. Washington is among the leading 25 cities representing the larg- est construction expenditures for the last month. In July approximately two : and one-half million dollars was spent in building. The attractiveness of Washington to the building industry, and consequently to the investing public, is the sound and conservative basis upon which this, its second largest industry, rests, and the manner in which the building ts © done in the District reflects a contin- ued stabilization of the industry here, July building permit reports from 494 cities and towns revealed a con- tinued slowing down in contemplated building operations throughout the country. The volume reported for the. month was nearly 20 per cent below July last year, and July this year also fell 17 per cent below June. Among the 25 leading cities, in volume of per- mits, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Phila- delphia and Los Angeles, showed heavy losses, but 15 of the other large places in the 25. leading-city group exceeded their records of July of last year. The loss in this whole leading group was 15 per cent from July, 1926, and 26 per cent below July, 1925. New York City alone had a loss of 32 per cent. Losses From July, 1926. Among the twelye leading building States, New York, Illinois, California, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Texas and Wisconsin showed losses from July 1926. Ohio, New Jersey,.Con- necticut and Missouri were the only leading States which showed gains from last July. The total reported in 494 comparable cities for July this year was $297,368,- 874, compared with $368,789,052 in July, 1926, and $357,809,698 in June, this year. The 25 leading cities reported a total of $176,175,464 in July, compared with $206,548,096 in July, 1926. These building permit reports are the only official figures complied for such a large and representative number’ of municipalities,, While they appear, when viewed superficially, to indicate a ‘marked decline in the volume of con- templated resiuential and commercial building in the populous centers, it must be remembered that“they .are merely losses by comparison with the intense activity during the past few years. The average level of wages continued unchanged in July. A shortage which had existed in the trowel trades since 1923 was counterbalanced and there seems to be a sufficiency of plasterers, bricklayers and lathers to meet all de- mands. In these trades the wage bonus h&s disappeared. Labor among . the building crafts is more stabilized ths for many months. past, as there is z absence of super-noram! conditions in construction circles For the last twelve months there has been a flow of building craftsmen into the United States from Canada which has added to the surplus of craftsmen in the larg- est cities in the northern tier of States, Cost of construction remained ap- proximately stationary during July. In spite of seasonal] activity in the build- ing industry, the low level reached by building material prices remained prace tically unchanged, though the maprket situation was firmer.

Com- Mmander Kenyon announced his interest in the project and the appointment of Miller as chairman of a special commit- tee to follow it through. One of the features was an automo- bile reliability run that preceded the dinner. A committee consisting of Austin .S. Imirie, J. O’C. Roberts and Norman B. Landreau had made a pre- liminary run over a route from Four- teenth street and Ohio avenue north- west to the Bannockburn Country Club, staying within all traffic regulations, and had fixed 29 minutes and 30 seconds as the “sealed time.” Grande Chef de Gare Pierce started off the 20 contestants in this auto run, and they had been checked in by a committee as they arrived.

The first outing held by Potomac Post, No. 1085, and auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Sunday at Bay Ridge, Md., was a success. The weather was ideal for an outing and nothing hap- pened to mar the pleasure. Nearly the entire post and members of the auxiliary joined in this outing. The auto caravan, which was headed by the post commander, Capt. Thomas E. Fawcett, left Washington at 10 o’clock and arrived at Bay Ridge about 11:30. A number of athletic stunts were given by the entertainment com- mittee of the post, after which a swim- ming contest was given by both post and auxiliary. Steve Uhlarik was judged the best swimmer and Mrs. Etta Colburn, from the auxiliary, judged the best woman swimmer. After enjoying the salt-water bathing for some time, luncheon was served. ( The next outing will be held next Sunday. The party left Bay Ridge at 5 o’clock, , returning to Washington at 7, where it was entertained at.dinner by the presi- dent of the auxiliary, Mrs. Roberta E. Fawcett, at her home, 1404 Allison street northwest. Front Line Post. Front Line Post, No. 1401, has called off its first meeting in September. This action was taken because a _ large delegation of this post’s members will be attending the national encampment of the V. F. W. at Providence, R. I. The on-to-Providence committee has practically completed all arrangements for the post delegation which will at- tend the encampment. Reservations have been made for the entire party at the Crown Hotel, located right in the heart of Providence and only three blocks from the convention hall. A special train on the B. & O. will leave Washington Saturday, September 3, at 8:20 a. m., with the veterans and their drum corps. A committee from this post paid a visit to Rotan Post, of Baltimore, Tues- day evening for the purpose of gaining some information as to how that post financed the purchase of its new home. This hustling bunch of Baltimore vet- ereans has one of the largest and most fully equipped post homes in the V. F. W., secured solely through the efforts of the post members, and it is a credit to the City of Baltimore and the Vet- erans Of Foreign Wars. The Front Line members were cordially received and shown through the home and were guests, of honor at a banquet that night. National Commander Val N. Bran- don, of the Military Order of the Cootie and a charter member of Front Line Post, has arrived in San Diego, Calif., where he has gone to regain his health after a serious operation under- gone here at the Naval Hospital last winter. Lieut. W. J. Richardson, N. S. N. R., who was aboard the ill-fated dirigible Shenandoah when it crashed, will make the trip to Providence with the Front Line Post delegation, and no doubt will receive a great ovation from the hun- dreds of friends he has in the V. F. W. Lieut. Richardson has attended the last five conventions of the organization, and is well known to veterans from all corners of the country. The adjutant of this post has a sup- ply of the certificates issued by the railroads granting veterans attending national encampments of an organiza- tion round-trip for a single-way rate. He will mail same to any post member desiring them. These certificates en- title a veteran to take with him, at the Same rates, all members of his family.

Notice has been received from national headquarters to the effect that three prizes will be awarded after the parade, and T. N. T., having won two at Atlantic City in a similar parade, will endeavor to win all three this year. A set of boxing gloves appeared at the last meeting,and the Long Boy was kept busy warding off the attempts of “Fly- ing” Lukenbill and Bill Cavanaugh to make him do “backwards march.” Joe Gardella, having announced a surplus in the crummy duffle bag, the K. P. de- tail was sent out to forage some rations and a Dutch luncheon was served. Mique Guliffre entertained with piano and saxophone selections. The meeting Friday at 935 Grant place northwest will be the only one before entraining for the supreme scratch, and it is planned to make this one a free and easy get-together. Cootie Joe’s K. P. gang will pass out chow, and entertainment will be plen- tiful. Jacques Heidenheimer, Sioux Tribe’s popular entertainer, has prom- |, ised to be on hand to tickle the piano keys, and Al Gompers, of the Grotto, with a few of his pals, will put on a few entertaining numbers recently used at their convention at Detroit. A letter has been received from Su- preme Seam Squirrel Van Brandon, in which he thanked T. N. T. for the trav- eling bag presented him by the mem- bers of Pup Tent, also giving his new address: Public Works Office, Eleventh Naval District, San Diego, Calif.

SUBORDINATE BOARDS TO GIVE INFORMATION Selective and Elimination Principles Two Factors to Be Avoided. The following officers of the Army were promoted during the last week to the next higher grades, respectively: Lieut. Col. Aubrey Lippincott, Caval- ry; Maj. Ellery Farmer, Infantry; Capt. Ferdinand F. Gallagher, Coast Artil- lery; First Lieuts. Harold H. George, Air Corps; Alden H. Waitt, Chemical Warfare Service; Sterling C. Robert- son, Infantry, and Charles W. Cam- eron, Quartermaster Corps, and Second Lieuts. James.G. Fry, Austin E. Gil- martin, Elbert Kelly and Orestes Cleve- land, Infantry, and James H. Dickey, Field Artillery. These promotions leave the following as seniors in their respective grades and next due for promotion on occur- rence of vacancies: Lieut. Col. Robert C. Humber, Infantry; Maj. Everett H. Bowman, Infantry; Capt. Barrington L. Flanigan, Coast Artillery; First Lieut. Arthur E. Danielson, Quarter- master Corps, and Second Lieut. Charles L. Gorman, Quartermaster Corps. There now are 66 vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant in the Army. Much discussion and speculation at- tends the consideration that now is being given in the Army to proposed changes in the system of promotion, and there is much difference of opinion as to the nature of the recommenda- tions that will be made by the Secre- tary of War to Congress on the sub- ject. These recommendations will be based, it is assumed, upon the com- ments being accumulated from vari- ous subordinate boards and of the cen- tral board at the War Department con- vened to digest them. The problem will be the determina- tion of a scheme of promotion that meets the approval of Army officers. The opinions derived from the subor- dinate boards clearly indicate two fea- tures that stand out conspicuously as factors to be avoided, if there is to be anything approaching unanimity of support Avoid Two Factions. One is the familiar suspicion of selec- tion; the other is the even more pro- nounced dislike for forced elimination. While there are advocates of both proc- esses, they are plainly in the minority, despite the sanguine claims of those that express faith in both measures and a firm belief in the benefits to be gained from them: It is stated that the support of selec- tion is not above 2 per cent of the Army views that have been expressed on the subject, and of that small per- centage there is preference for the most part only for a modified or fractional application of the selective principle. This announcement, which admittedly has for the present the characteristics of a rough estimate, comes as something of a surprise, because, despite the evident opposition to selection, it has been calculated that the support for manded by Commander John W. Lewis, has been awarded the battle-efficiency pennant for the last competitive year in the destroyer class. Other leading destroyers stood in the following order in battle efficiency, 2, Mervine; 3, Somers; 4, Selfridge; 5, Sinclair; 6, Will- iam B. Preston; 7, Litchfield; 8, Far- quhar; 9, Corry; 10, Henshaw. Among the destroyer divisions, divi- sion 31, commanded by Commander Roscoe C. MacFall, attained the highest merit in battle efficiency, and was awarded the pennant. Other divisions stood in the following order in. that competition: 2, division 35; 3, division 30; 4, division 34; 5, division 36; 6, division 32; 7, division 26; 8, division 38: 9, division 42; 10, division 45; 11, division 39; 12 division 43; 13, division 40. Destroyer squadron 12, commanded by Capt. Clarence L. Arnold, stood No. 1, and: was awarded the pennant in the battle efficiency competition of squadrons. The other squadrons stood in the following order in that com- petition: 2, squadron 11; 3, squadron 9; 4, squadron 14; 5, squadron 15. The U. 8S. S. West Virginia, which won the gunnery trophy and the bate efficiency pennant in the battleship class, having attained the highest merit in gunnery in her class, will be awarded the Knox Trophy presented annually by the Society of the Sons of the Revolution of Massachusetts. Seamen (lst class) G. H. Hughes and P. J..O’Donnell, constituting the first set of pointers of 3-inch gun No. 4, of U. S. 8S. Raleigh, which made the highest merit at short-range battle practice, will get Knox gun-pointer medals. Seamen (ist class) D. W. Houston, Coxwain T. Wardlow and Boatswains Mate (2nd class) J. Burnfin, pointers of turret No. 4, of U. S. S. Tennessee, who made the highest merit for turret pointers at short-range battle practice, will receive medals presented annually by Edward Trenchard section No. 73 of the Navy League. Additional commendatory letters have been sent to officers who con- tributed to the winning of trophies and attainment of high scores in gun- nery, engineering, and battle efficiency during the last competitive year, as follows: Capt. Clarence L. Arnold, command- ing destroyer squadron 12, winner of battle-efficiency pennant. Comdr. Roscoe C. MacFall, com- mander of destroyer division: 31, win- ner of battle-efficiency pennant. «Comdr. John W. Lewis, commander; Lieut. Walter G. Schindler, gunnery officer; Lieut. Paul E. Howard, engi- neer officer; Lieut. Charles J. Stuart, torpedo. officer; Lieut. ' Edwin M. Crouch, spotter, and Lieut. Albert C. Murdaugh, assistant fire-control offi- cer, U. S. S. Robert Smith, winner of selection had a stronger numerical in- fluence. As for elimination, especially that founded’ on the compulsory system, there is no doubt of the vigor and ex- tent of the opposition, which is shared, almost heartily, in Congress. The attitude of the military authori- ties at present is one that emphasizes the necessity for agreement upon what- ever eventually shall develop from the current discussions. There is being urged by Gen. Summerall, for example, cooperation among Army officers to the end that the interests of the service shall be furthered instead of the con- cerns of the individual or group. pennant in destroyer class. Comdr. Carl C. Krakow, executive officer, and Lieut. Comdr. Forrest B. Royal, gunnery. officer, U. S. 8. Dobbin, auxiliary class. Comdr. Edwin B. Woodworth, execu- tive officer; Lieut. Comdr.

Shea, gunnery and engineer officer, and Lieut. Charles D. Beaumont, of the R-6, which won the engineering trophy and made a merit of over 95 per cent of that of the pennant-winner in battle efficiency in the submarine class. Lieut. Edwin G. Fullinwider, tor- pedo officer of the R-12, for per- formance of that submarine in tor- pedoes. The R—7-10-15-19 and S-20 made the highest obtainable merit in tor- pedo practices of submarines, and the following of those boats were com- mended on that account: Lieut. Ken- neth R.

PERIOD OF SHAKEDOWN RUNS CONTEMPLATED navi- | Lieut.| Equipment and Installations | Will Be Deferred Until | After Tryouts. a long |series of vicissitudes and delays per- taining to their construction, it now appears probable that the new alirf- craft carriers, Saratoga and Lexington, will be ready to join the fleet early next year. The Saratoga, which is being come pleted at Philadelphia under a fixede price contract after having been com- menced under a cost-plus one, is sched- uled for delivery to the Government on October 31, after which the ship will go through a period of shake- down runs and fitting out... This may take from one to three months, de- pendent upon just what deferred items of work it finally is decided to finish. The plan now is to send the ship to sea for @ period, some of which possibly will be with the fleet, before decision ultimately is reached with respect to some of the deferred equip- ment and installations, for it is thought that during service part of it may be found not to be required. Built in Massachusetts. | The Lexington, which is building at |Fore River, Mass., under a cost-plus |contract that the Government was 'unable to have changed to a fixed- priced one, is set down for come- pletion by January 5, next, and it is apprehended that thereafter more work will be required in the way of fitting out and installation of various deferred items than in the case of the Saratoga. For that reason, there is more uncertainty in the case of the Lexington than with the Saratoga with respect to the time she will be ready to join the fleet. Moreover, it is the desire of the Bu- reau of Aeronautics to have bot of the new carriers engage in certain ex- perimental activities before they take their places in the fleet as flagships of aircraft squadrons. Delays in starting construction of the six light cruisers Nos. 26 to 31, inclusive, are more ap- parent than real. The Central draft- ing office established at Philadelphia for preparation of identical detailed drawings for the ships has been or- ganized with a competent force of technical experts and draftsmen, and production already is under way. The facilities afforded by that office, both in the production of drawings and pur- chase of materials, will © accelerate greatly the actual construction of the cruisers. New Cruisers and Submarines. Although cruisers Nos. 26 to 31 are slightly longer than the Pensacola (No. 24) building at New York Navy Yard, and the Salt Lake City (No. 25), build- ing at Camden, N. J., some of the draw- ings produced by the central drafting office will be suitable for them. The contract dates of completion of these ships is as follows: Pensacola nd Salt Lake City; July 9, 1929; Nos. 26, 2%, and 30, June 13, 1930, and Nos. 28, 29, and 31, March 13, 1931. Fleet submarine V-4 was about 80 ‘| per cent completed on August 1 at navy yard, Portsmouth, N. H., and it is scheduled for completion by April 1, next. The V-5, also building at Ports- mouth, is about 14 per cent completed, and scheduled for completion by June 1, 1929, and the V-6, building at Mare Island Navy Yard, is about 6 per cent completed, and scheduled for comple- tion by September 1, 1929. The latest advices with respect to the river gunboats building in China is that they may be expected to be completed as follows: Guam, September 15, 1927; Tutuila, October 1, 1927; Luzon, No- vember 15, 1927;.

BEAUTY OF COUNTRY CAREFULLY RETAINED Thoughts for Design Notice- able; Craftsmanship Now Practiced in America. Joseph H. Blain, advertising and pub- licity director of Shannon & Lucas, who recently made an extended visit to France, Spain and Italy, where he made an intensive study of community plan- Ming, advertising and architecture, in the interest of the firm, yesterday is- sued a statement regarding his impres- sions gained during the visit.. He said: “Since the war the _ spotlight of American interest has been centered on Mediterranean Europe. We have ad- mired and coveted their splendid ar- chitecture, their art, their literature, | their sculpture and their modes of liv-| ing, and in many instances we have at-| This mimicry | tempted to copy them. is justifiable However, there are few climates in the United States that would. make an appropriate background for, the colorful and severe design of south- ern Italy and Spain—two types of dwell- ing that have been unsuccessfully trans- ferred to America. Probably the most attractive architectural Italian design and most appropriate to our individual climate has been almost entirely dis- regarded—that of Florentine and early Italian Renaissance influence. Par- ticularly acclimatable is this theme to town houses and smaller country estates in @ moderate temperature. Tropical Setting Required. “Successful adaptation of the quaint charm of the colorful architectural simplicity of the Spanish, French and Italian watering places requires, I be- lieve, a tropical setting, since in these countries the picturesque foliage is as indispensable to the completeness of design as a whole as is the compara- tive evergreen and blue spruce to our colonial architecture. “Much of the charm of these coun- tries lies in the regard for the design as a whole—background, clever adap- tation of the building under consid- eration to naturai ground irregularity and vivid coloring of walls and fences. Everywhere one finds that there has been no attempt made to destroy the beauty of the original countryside. Trees are preserved rather than hewn, little rivulets play beneath small and most exquisitely carved bridges and houses, although one story on the side facing the roadway, “may sink” to five stories on the elevation facing the Mediterranean and eventually find their footings in irregular rock gardens which are religiously attended by the women of the household. It is not un- common to find a flight of hand-hewn steps leading down the face of the cliff to the water’s etige. “In this charming country, . great splashes of yellows and pinks and THE WASHINGTON POS'r: SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1927. _ DWELLING IN CHEVY CHASE CREST SOLD Detached dwelling, 3347 Tennyson street, Chevy Chase Crest, recently sold for the builders, Terrell & Pinger, to Harold D.

Experiments are continuing at Frank- ford Arsenal, Pa., with various types of bullets in an effort to improve ac- curacy and eliminate so-called ‘“‘tip- ping” or “key-holing” encountered with caliber 50 ammunition. The experi- ments up to this time indicate the pos- creams make a pleasing contrast to the deep blues of the Mediterranean. A sunset off the coast of Spain can well be compared to one of Maxfield Parish‘s pictures. Architectural Gems in Squalor “As you go further into inland Italy you find cities that house some oi the greatest architectural gems in the world, but it is a shame to find them hidden as they are amid squalor an‘ mean streets. In Florence, I emerged from the smallest and dirtiest alley to face the Petit Palace, that gorgeous menage of the Medici family. “Again in Milan, it was necessary to hunt through a maze of tiny streets for the beautiful cathedral housing the famous painting of Leonardo de Vinci’s “Last Supper,” a condition that is un- worthy and disrespectful of such masterful prowess. “While we have not yet in America achieved the craftsmanship that is everywhere prevalent in Italy, we are building our cities with a thought of design that will in 100 years make them thoroughly beautiful and will emphasize the -national shrines and architectural splendors that are rel- atively very deep in old Europe. “Washington, the Nation’s Capital, can be justly grateful to the forsighted- ness of its founder, George Washington. It was ds a result of his labors that Charles L’Enfant, the French designer was commissioned to create a plan of grandeur to be applied in the layout of the Capital City of the United States.” | Transient advertisers who use Post Classified Ads enjoy the 3-cent-per- word rate, minimum 45 cents.

California into the national banking system. There promises to be a num- ber of bank consolidations during the next year or two. “Where banks desire to obtain a large list of stockholders, the shares will be issued in denominations of less than $100, probably in $25 or $50 shares.” Rules Are Promulgated. Since the foregoing was written the following regulations have been pro- mulgated, according to a special dis- patch in the New York Times, dated June 29, 1927, which says: “What amounts to blue-sky regula- tions defining investment securities which national banks may buy and sell under the terms of the McFadden bank- ing law were made public today by J. W. McIntosh, comptroller of the cur- rency, and will become effective to- morrow. “The rules were prepared after a series of conferences with officials of the Federal Reserve banks and are con- sidered of great importance, as they set a standard which may have a consider- able effect on dealings in such securities by many institutions. “The Comptrolles explains that the business of buying and sélling invest- ment securities by national banks is governed by section 5136 of the Revised Statutes. This section gives broad powers to the Comptroller. Mr. McIn- tosh, after quoting law on the question, gives his definition of important clas- sifications and terms ‘pertaining to in- vestment securities. Federal Law as Amended. “Section 5136 as amended by the Mc- FaFdden act is as follows: “Provided, that the business of buy- ing-and selling investment securities Shall hereafter be limited to buying and selling without recourse to market- able obligations evidencing indebted- ness of any person, copartnership, asso- | ciation or corporation, in the form of bonds, notes or debentures, commonly known as investment securities under such further definition of the term ‘in- vestment securities’ as may by regula- tion be described by the Comptroller of the Currency, and the total amount of such investment securities of any one obligator or maker held by such as- sociation shall at no time exceed 25 per cent of the amount of the capital stock of such association actually paid in and unimpaired and 25 per cent of its un- impaired surplus fund, but this limita- tion as to total amount shall not apply to obligations of the United States or general obligations of any State or of any political subdivision thereof, or ob- ligations issued under authority of the Federal farm loan act. , Definitions by Comptroller. “The regulations then define the po- sition of the Comptroller, as follows: “An obligation of indebtedness which may be bought and sold by national banks, in order to come within the classification of ‘investment securities’ within the meaning of the proviso of section 5136 above quoted must be a marketable security as designated by the express language of gaid proviso. Under ordinary circumstances, the term ‘marketable’ means that the security in question has such a market as to render sales at intrinsic values readily ble. “In classifying a given security as marketable, the Comptrolicr of the Cur- rency may Ym specific cases give con- sideration to various facts.and circum- stances, but he will require in all cases the following: a, “(a) That the ciently | » ran) a eGR ese. eae “es gif 4 r 4 yl a .

FULL PROTECTION GIVEN That the public demand for durable home construction is increasing is shown by the tendency of real estate operators to use building materials that are immune to rust and the ef- fects of hard usage. In place of cor- rodible materials, builders are using rustproof metals wherever there is ex- posure to dampness and elements. Joseph, P. Day, who annually handles property with a total value of many millions of dollars, declares that “real estate investors are more and more getting to appreciate that the liberal use of copper and brass makes for more staple values in the improve- ments.” The stabilization of values to which Mr. Day refers is made possible by the fact that copper and its alloys are virtually everlasting metals. Once sibility of overcoming “tipping” by us- ing a very hard core of lead alloy. Bul- let-cores of Frary metal, so far, indi- cate their superiority over the stand- ard lead hardened with 121, per cent antimony. Following request from the Air Corps, consideration has been given to the possibility of changing the design of the caliber .50 machine gun to permit the action to be held in retracted po- sition for cooling. As a result of inves- tigation, several designs have been pre- pared, a model of the design considered the most promising has been manu- factured, and it has been submitted to the Air Corps for test and comment. Promising results have been obtained at Frankford Arsenal in the investiga- tion of chromium-plated machine-gun barrels. Tests with the calibers .30 and .50 barrels, so far, have indicated that the accuracy life is much greater than with the standard unplated barrels. A caliber .50 antiaircraft machine- gun has been modified by lengthening the water-jacket to accommodate a 40-inch barrel. This gun has been prepared in a further effort to decrease muzzle flash. Manufacture of 2,000 pistol barrels of stainless steel has begun at Spring- field Armory, Mass. Their production will afford opportunity to accumulate additional information on a large scale as a check against what has been learned heretofore with respect to ex- perimental samples of stainless steels supplied by various manufacturers. As a result of satisfactory service tests by the Infantry and Cavalry, the Hatcher type of receiver-sight has been standardized for new manufac- ture of U. S. rifles, caliber .22. The new types of magazine for use with the Browning aircraft machine- guns, caliber .30, as flexible installa- tions, have been finished and shipped to Aberdeen Proving Ground for test along with an earlier type, which has been available for some time. Fires in Paris Urged to Amuse Americans Paris, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—The sight of fire apparatus whizzing “through the streets is not so frequent in France as in America. Some seem to feel the need of the thrill a little more often. One serious Paris paper has sug- gested that wooden huts be put in the streets and set afire every now and then, in order to provide amusement for the fire-loving public and a test of speed fr the firemen. In the villages—where wooden homes are almost unknown—a fire is indeed a ware thrill. Sometimes there isn’t one from one end of the year to the other. But the “pompiers,” and the public have their fun just the same. Every year a day is set aside in some villages in which a fire is built, just to test the speed of the volunteers, who hustle from home and workshop to pull the pump to the scene of the blaze. Abstainer at English Shoot Wins Whisky London, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—Some queer prizes were won at the famed Bisley shooting competitions. A man who lives in Montreal, Can- ada, won ten tons of coal. He is wondering how he will get it home without paying more than it is worth. Another man who won a woman’s coat is a bachelor. His problem is to decide how to dispose of the coat. A teetotaler has a case of whisky on his hands. But he has made many friends since winning the prize. An army sergeant with a voice like a “Rocky Mountain canary” won a loud speaker. & P i, % * hey a eh, eee ~ et installed in a house they give full protection against the elements as long as the building stands. ust | trouble is eliminated and with it the encumbrance of unnecessary mainte- nance expense due to this cause.

Sliding Doors Built | In New French Homes Paris, -\ug. 20 (A.P.).—Sliding doors have been built throughout in a dozen | modern home: bv a Parisian architect. His view is the* the hinged door is an antiquated waster of space. This view has found a good deal of support. Those commenting on the idea ex- press surprise that peopfe never have rebelled against the swinging door. “How ridiculous it is,” says one, “to have to ster backward to open or close a door!” The old-fashioned door destroys the harmony of a room if left open at right angles to the wall, says another, and it is ugly and kills good wall space if it is swung back against the wall. RTS SR Ss a, 2) ‘FIVE DWELLINGS BUILT BY BALL ARE SOLD Purchases Are Effected by Keiser & Banville; All Detached. A group of semidetached houses at Forty-third and Brandywine streets northwest, recently completed by H, C. Ball, has been selling rapidly, Keiser ¢ Banville reported yesterday. Five of the homes have been sold within | the last 50 days. The following homes on Brandywine street have been sold: 4229, to Marie Knight; 4227, to L. W. Koontz; 4221, to Alice Spindler; 4219, to Alice Boyd. Emma 8. Wolff purchased the dwelling at 4617 Forty-third street. They are each two stories high, contain six rooms and bath, and the lots average about 28 by 150 feet. Construction is of brick and stucco. Queen Mary Dislikes Calling Princess Betty London, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—Queen Mary does not appear to like to have her granddaughter, the Princess Elizabeth, called “Betty.” She took the occasion of the opene- ing of Crosby Hall, new women’s center in Chelsea, to administer a delicate rebuke to those who favored the nick- name which has been growing more and more popular with the press. One of the Crosby Hall rooms was named after Princess Elizabeth. While her majesty was inspecting it, some one referred to Princess “Betty.” The queen said nothing, but the next day sent around a photograph of herself and the baby princess. It was sig- nificantly autographed: “Mary R. and little Elizabeth.” i entetieatith ieeeel SE RE Se —_———$ ——- - -—- -—_————_-- ——— —— Over 1,000 Cafritz Lifetime Homes Built and Sold New Semi-Detached Homes Just Completed EXHIBIT HOME 4406 Chesapeake St. N.W. 6 large rooms Tiled bath, built-in tub and fixtures 3 covered porches—Big garage Deep lot, 25 ft. wide, to paved alley MONTHLY PAYMENTS LESS THAN RENT Drive out Wisconsin Avenue to River Rosd, west on’River Road to Chesapeake Street; or send for auto.

REALTORS SEEKING TO MAKE PROFESSION OF THEIR BUSINESS GREENWAY DOWNS LOTS ARE PLAGED ON MARKET Second Section of the New Homesite Development Opened in Virginia. STREET WORK IS STARTED Announcement was made yesterday by Ruby Lee Minar, Inc., of the open- | _ing of the second section of Greenway Downs, the new homesite development | adjoining Falls Church, Va. The first | section was placed on the market June 18 and inside of 60 days the 202 lots $175,000 were |90 per cent sold out. This is believed | to set. a record for nearby Virginia sub- | divisions. | Greenway Downs is situated on the | Lee highway just west of the corporate | limits of Falls Church which is the largest and fastest growing of the five incorporated towns “of Fairfax County. It is a town of homes and churches, primarily a residential community whose interests are tied up closeiv with those of the National Capital. Its pop- ulation is made up largely of Wash- ington business men and those employ- ed in the various departments of the Government. Greenway Downs received its name as the result of a city-wide contest in which more than 1,100 persons parti- cipated. The name was suynmitted by Miss Sarah A. Howlett, 2099 Park road northwest, who received $190 in cash as an award. The manor house of Lord Fairfax at White Post, Va., was known s “Greenway Court” and it was from this old Fairfax estate that Miss How- lett derived the name of tsrecnway Downs. Work has started on the installation and it is stated that during the early stages of development work, prices will be tixed at a predevelopment level which will be continued only until the improve- ments are well under way. In the new section, Mrs. Minar’s office will assist purchasers in financing their homes as was done in section 1. Northwest Apartment Permit Is Requested A building permit has been requested for a new three-story apartment build- ing to be constructed on the northwest corner of Thirteenth and Longfellow streets northwest by W. M. Ward. Esti- mated cost of the structure when com- pleted is placed at $150,000. Plans drawn by John Edgar Sohl, architect, call for a modern fireproof building, to be constructed of brick and stone. Each apartment, it is an- nounced, will be soundproof, and many new features will be incorporated in the structure, among them fireplaces in each apartment, a new system of oil | heating and special type radiators. The | building will contain fifteen apart- ments ranging in size from two to four | rooms and bath housekeeping. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. day is between different or alternative commodities “rather than between indi- ' viduals in the group which produces a | commodity. The lines and forms of the old com- petition are breaking down. Man no longer competes with his own group, wholesaler with wholesaler, or retailer with retailer. Wholesalers sell direct to the consumer; retail stores combine to eliminate the wholesaler; chain stores in some cases have eliminated the manufacturer by setting up their own factories. Manufacturers in turn are | frequently eliminating both wholesaler) and retailer by going direct to the con-| |sumer with their own retail stores. Alternatives Are Provided. Efficient production and good value have provided the consumer with al- ternatives. If he does not want to use brick in his home, he has a choice of lumber, stone or concrete. If he does not .want plaster he can use plaster board. If he does not want to eat meat, he can try eggs, fish or cheese. It is difficult to find any commodity for which the consumer can not find a sub- stitute. This competition between commodi- ties is bringing the trade association to the front as a new power in American, business. Every business today feels that it must eliminate the wastes of internal competition in order that its members may make cause against men producing and marketing a rival com- modity. As a result there are nearly 3,000 powerful national trade associations in this country. Many of them are praci- tically unknown to us, but they are working silently and efficiently at the new competition. They buy the best executive and scientific brains. They engage in research and supply their members with information that no member could get for himself. They help their members in every way to be- come efficient because it is to the in- terest of every member that every one in his own line should be as efficient as he is for the welfare of the business as a whole. Trade Associations Study Market. The trade associations study the mar- ket for their members, scientifically and from a national point of view. They save in this way waste of production and waste of business effort and waste of time. They protect the interests of their commodity in the legislatures. They seek to promote the use of their commodity by the public through in- stitutional advertising. You will note that the emphasis in advertising is coming more and more to be on the value of the product as a whole rather than on the product of an individual manufacturer or producer. “An apple a day Keeps the doctor away,” familiar on the billboards in recent years, is the apple growers’ challenge to the citrus fruit man’s “vitamines in the break- fast orange juice” campaign, This alluring call to the consumer to become vegetarian in his habits caused the meat industries to organize the Packers Institute to keep the charm of baked ham, bacon and roast beef in the consumer’s mind.

Now the Packers In- stitute and the National Meat Board have brought together all these factors. They are bringing peace into the in- dustry and uniting all former rivals to fight the outsiders. Necessity for Union Seen. The packers were the first to see the necessity for this union because they were the first to note that the con- sumption of meat was declining. People were eating less meat because they were being persuaded by advertising and publicity, some of this in the form of the recipes so irresistible to housewives, to eat more vegetables and more fruit. And so today the meat industry is or- ganized from top to bottom for the purpose of effecting economies, elimi- nating friction in the business, and above all for the purpose of persuading the public to continue eating meat. How shall realtors meet the new com- petition of amusements and travel in- stead of homes; cars for every member of the family instead of bathrooms; extravagant clothes instead of real estate bonds? It makes a tremendous difference to the public whether people spend their income for perishable things or whether they invest in enduring things that contribute to stability. It also makes a tremendous difference to realtors. For some it means the difference between success and failure. To all it means the difference between a business which barely holds its own and one which continues to expand. What must we do? We must keep our lines unbroken. We must consolidate our forces. We must draw into our ranks to an in- creasing degree the large property own- ers and the operators whose stake is just as great as the broker’s, if not greater. There is no reason why the broker should have to fight for all without the cooperation of all. We must make our members more efficient. Made More Discriminating. With so many services and com- modities bidding for the consumer’s dollar, he is going to become more dis- criminating and critical. He is going to see that he spends his money where he wishes and be sure that he gets the full worth of it. He will have con- fidence in real estate largely to the de- gree that he has confidence in the ability and integrity of the realtor. When we buy commodities we all in- quire first of all into the integrity of the man who sells it. Since we can not all be experts in everything, we must depend upon our confidence in those with whom we deal. We must eliminate the great eco- nomic wastes of our business, all of which ultimately fall upon the public buying our commodity—the waste that comes from overproduction of building lots; the waste that comes from over- | production of structures; the great waste that lies in the physical side of construction. We must find less costly and more efficient ways of helping finance the home buyer. The automobile and piano dealers have taken pains with this problem and it behooves us to do like- wise if we are to hold our own in com- petition, Simpler Transfer Desired. We must strive to make the transfer of real estate from one Owner to an- other a simpler and less costly process. The transfer of no other commodity is burdened with so many annoyances, delays and costs as real estate. We must make the ownership of real RE IREE a ee DEMAND INCREASED BY LIMITED SUPPLY Estate of Nation Given as a Striking Example. B. C. Forbes says our stock of any- thing useful which can not. be in- creased becomes more and more valu- able because there are more and more people to bid for it. “The best example of all is real es- tate, “Go to almost any thriving Ameri- can city or town, and what do the people point out to you? ‘Look at that block,’ they say. ‘It was worth only a. few thousand dollars ten years ago. Now it is worth more than $50,000.’ They take you to the new residential sections, show you avenues of beauti- ful homes and impress upon you ‘five years ago this was farm land. Now a few acres are worth what the whole farm was then worth.’ “As it is impossible to increase the amount of land in the United States, and as the increase in our population and our ability to buy land means greater and greater demand for land, the natural, inevitable result is that the value rises and rises.’—Buffalo Realtor. Real Is estate more desirable by removing from it some of the inequitable burdens im- posed upon it by law and custom, es- pecially the tax burden We must do all of these things and more if we are to win our share of the consumer’s dollar in the future and if the consumer is to have the stability of real estate holdings. This is a tre- mendous program. It demands con- structive effort. It means a battle may be fought on many fronts. lit means discipline and harmony within our own ranks and a willingness to stand by each other through thick and thin in organized effort. It means the organ- ization of battles in the legislatures of various States. It means a battle in institutional advertising. Man Power Required. This program requires man power— which we have. It requires vast re- sources—little by little we are ac- quiring these. It requires leadership— that responsibility rests upon our of- ficers and directors. It requires the loyalty of individual realtors—which ought not to be hard to get. The great responsibility for what happens to real estate rests upon this association of realtors It is true that as a group we do not own the real es- tate of the country, but there is no other organized body whose conscious interest is more vital and which is s0 well prepared to speak for it and fight for it. What a tremendous thing it is to fight for—this real estate! The wealth of the-country today is estimated at $355,000,000,000. Of this real estate represents $172,000,000,000. The value of the property transferred annually and of new improvements is estimated at $34,000,000,000. The year- ly earnings of real estate men are esti- mated at $1,500,000,000. These are tremendous figures as is fitting, eon- sidering the fundamental human inter- ests which depend upon the land. ness statesmanship of the first order to things, to hold our own in the new competition.

THE WASHINGTON POST: GLEN EVRIE, IN COLORADO, TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION 7,000-Acre Estate of Gen. Palmer to Go on the Block Thursday. A Few Homes At 43d and Brandywine that will delight the homeseeker who has put off.home ownership for just such a find. They are distinctively built of brick and stucco. Have six rooms with all modern con- veniences. As sound an investment in future happiness and comfort as one would hope to —— Oven Every Day Until 9 P. M. RANCHES ARE INCLUDED Glen Eyrie, on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains at Colorado Springs, Colo., adjoining the Garden of the Gods, and in plain view of Pike’s Peak, and comprising more than 7,000 acres, is to be sold in two separate par- céls at a public sale to be held Thurs- day at 2:30 p. m. on the premises, by Joseph P. Day, of New York, auctioneer. This lordly estate and most pic- turesque property .comprises the estate selected and assembled just after the Civil War by the late Gen. William J. Palmer, who was a pioneer builder of railroads in the Golden West. The sale includes not only the famous “million Inspect today! Out Wisconsin Ave. to River Road, then to 48d and one block south. Keiser & Banville 1108 16th St. N.W. Main 1397 tages and outbuildings, but also several modern and fully-equipped ranches and dairy farms, a complete and potentially ultra-valuable water system and valu- able coal beds. The two separate parcels into which the estate as a whole has been divided for the purposes of the auction sale next Thursday offer a wide range of natural beauty and scenic grandeur. This, from the more esthetic point of view; while, from the more utilitarian and investment viewpoints, the separate properties have the intrinsic values that attach to the ownership and operation of the ranches, the waterpower rights and the coal_ beds. In the immediate vicinity of the Glen Eyrie estates the Woodmen of America have @ large and splendidly located holding which is utilized by the or- | ganization for the benefit of its mem- bers who require the maximum of fresh air and sunshine. Glen Eyrie, while far from. the mad- ding crowd, iz easy to reach from all points of the compass. While only 'a little more than 4 miles from Colo- 'rado Springs, Glen Eyrie is far enough |removed to warrant the degree of pri- |vacy and quietude demanded by the | fraternal organization, captain of indus- 'try or man of leisure, who probably will prove to be the successful bidder for the two parcels into which the es- tate has been divided. Glen Eyrie Castle, which is one of the finest examples in America of an Eng- lish castle of the Tudor period, is adapt- able to.conversion into an ideal sanita- rium, particularly for some large fra- ternal organization or leading indus- trial concern having a large member- ship and equally as large a personnel. The commodious buildings on the prop- erty, including Glen Eyrie Castle, are capable of accommodating many times the number of persons for which they were planned originally, while the spa- cious porches surrounding the castle ican be transformed readily into sun- parlors. The sale of Glen Eyrie will mark the | passing of one of the finest estates in | America ever assembled and superbly improved. In the beginning the estate ihad all the advantages of a most in- |spiring location. These natural advan- | tages were capitalized to the utmost by the mind and resources of the late Gen, Palmer, who was one of the best known and most active railroad builders in the | pioneer days of the West. In¢a statement made yesterday Mr. Dav said that he had received inquiries for the property from many prominent |men, fraternal and business organiza- tions, in practically all parts of the | United States and Canada.

N. Skelton was addressing the House of Commons in the presence of a mere handful of members when he was sud- denly assailed with shouts of, “Order!” There was nothing unparliamentary in his remarks, and Mr. Skelton was at a loss to know just how he had of- fended, until some one pointed to his foot. The toe of one shoe was about 1 inch beyond the strip of cloth which runs along the floor in front of the front benches. It is out of order for a mem- ber to step beyond that line while speaking from a front bench. The line is a survival of the days when the members of Parliament car- ried swords. So long as a member was behind the line his sword point he could not reach an opponent opposite.

Miss Malinda Havey, &s- sistant national director of public health nursing of the American Red Cross, spoke on the organization for , the flood relief in the Mississippi Val- ley. The American Red Cross was in direct charge of this relief work, with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Public Health Service, Rockefeller Foundation and other agencies cooperating with them, Miss Havey sald. More than 600,000 people were res- cued and cared for, but si‘: persons are known to have drow: 1! after the first heavy loss of life in the Arkansas dis- trict, in the weeks before the water was brought under control. In the relief program attention was centered on the prevention of disease with great success. Public Health Serv- ice doctors and nurses have gone into the flooded districts as soon as they have become habitable. The Red Cross has demonstrated here that although the people may have lost most of their worldly goods, health, their most pre- cious possession, need not be sacrificed. Burnside Corps, No. 4, W. R.

Summer Activities. This afternoon imag- ine you are a guest in the home where the leader is having a club fof six young girls to entertain. There is a book of short stories for some one to read aloud. The main interest today is the plan- Ming and beginning of a patchwork / quilt. Several days have been spent in ' @afeful preparation for this afternoon's meeting. Each girl agreed to bring a de- sign which she had copied or planned by herself, and which was to be submitted to the club for their choice. Buitable cotton materials, such as gingham, percale’ and small-figured prints were sorted out as to colors and carefully pressed. Then, with thimbles and perhaps an extra pair of scissors the girls met promptly for what was to be a busy afternoon with their leader. The first thing was the selecting of an interesting pattern — something aimple—for they wisely agreed that their first patch work quilt must not be too ambitious. The club chose a design which was composed of squares and triangles which had 21 pieces to a block and when made up of contrasting colors rightly placed, formed an eight-pointed star in each block. There were to be twelve blocks in the quilt, two blocks ‘for each little girl to make, and when finishe d they were to be set together with a plain material which woud harmonize the whole. Two of the girls looked over and se- lected the right colors to use while the other girls cut out the pieces, using a paper pattern. The different shapes and colors were strung upon a thread to keep them separated and ready for ‘use. Then while the little girls sewed short careful stitches the leader read a story aloud. The blocks grew very slowly because mistakes were made in sewing together the wrong colors and sometimes stitches were so long the blocks had to bé sewed twice, but no one minded, for the girls were ready to help one another and the leader gave directions when needed. Nearby was an ironing board and warm iron so that seams could be pressed into shape when the work was inclined to get mussed. Dur- ing the afternoon each one of the girls was able to finish her block. Then all the blocks were put into a box to- gether with the remaining scraps and patterns to be saved for the following week when the club would meet again to finish the quilt. After the work was cleared away lemonade and cookies were served. Then the leader told the girls the story of a bridal quilt which was made and pre- sented to her mother before her mar- riage at 16 years of age. The quilt was one of her most cher- ished possessions and was kept in a cedar chest wrapped in layers of white paper. Today the leader had the quilt ready to show the girls. It was spread out on her bed where the impression of pale rose and white with baby-blue bindings was the first received, but upon looking closer the girls found that in the center of each block was a white square on which was embroid- ered, with the daintiest of stitches the name and address of some young lady of long ago. There was Abigail and Belinda, Rosalia and Lucretia—young ladies who had come to the quilting party in wide ruffled skirts and stiffly starched petticoats. Some who lived on nearby plantations had come in carriages with negro coachmen and high stepping horses. For this quilt was made in New Orleans more than sixty years ago when the sewing circle formed the basis for a large part of the social life among the young ladies of that day. It was with ea feeling of reverence and awe that the young girls considered that the dainty hands which had made this quilt were now withered and old, perhaps many of their owners having passed on to another world. During the discussion which fol- lowed it came about that the quilt which they were now making should be for some of these dear old ladies whose dearest memories centered around the quilting parties of old. So it came about, that when the quilt was finished the leader arranged a visit to an old ladies home where it Was presented with ceremony to the oldest member. All shared in the little program of music and. refreshments which followed. Only an incident in the lives of six young girls but one which left a mem- ory of joy ip service. MRS. FRANKLIN D. JONES. Report on Cowrt. One year ago at our convention, you will remember that an appeal was made for furniture, toys, books, &c., for our waiting room at the Juvenile Court. This was because in the old court, on I street, the children who waited for the adjustment of their home prob- lems, had to wait in a big, bare room furnished only with rows of wooden Denches. They were crowded in with parents and witnesses, black and white, - Young and old, dirty and clean, with no ea e) + Rep nwebed! A ea We ky 43 Kept a supply of clean, neatly mend- place to put down a tired baby or com- fort a distressed child. There was no room there to better conditions but when the court was moved to its present more commodious quarters Judge Sellers set aside two rooms for our use and your committee took steps to fit up a more suitable place for children to wait. Such gen- erous response was made to our ap- peal that we now have two comfort- e rooms well equipped for the care € children, One a play room furnish- d with a baby’s crib, a table, little thairs, toys, blocks, a doll baby carri- f@ and a hobby horse. The other is ps of a rest room containing a bed. >There a sick child or worn mother be made comfortable or a baby and put to sleep.

Pree ten “> - Fege - sp wrt ° ok y AQJ When this hand was played, the im- portance of making an informatory double dependable was not as thor- oughly understood as it is today and’ only one table out of approximately fifty utilized it to the best advantage. At all the tables the first round of bidding was: South, pass, West one No Trump, North double, and East pass. At all the tables except one, South an- swered his partner’s informatory dou- ble with two Diamonds; the North players, apeccctenne that South had passed initially and that his Diamonds might be trickless, did not consider it sound bidding to risk two No Trumps. Playing at Diamonds, South lost two Diamonds and one Spade, making four- odd but falling one short of game. There was one South, however, whose North was -a dependable doubler. That South knew that his partner would not double a No Trump after an initial pass by South unless he had a hand distinctly stronger than the mini- mum which would have justified a dou- ble-if the No Trump had been bid in- less advantageous circumstances (e. g., when it is made after the partner of the doubler has. passed initially and Second Hand has bid the No Trump, or when it is made by a Fotrth ‘and with the No Trump on his left instead \of his right), do not double unless you have six high cards. In the above hand South knew that his dependable vis-a-vis had six high cards and considered that he had dou- bled sitting over the No Trump. He therefore felt that, while he had not quite sufficient strength to justify a Business Pass, he was too strong to waste the hand by playing it with a Minor trump. So he adopted the third expedient, viz., a bid of two No Trumps; and an examination of the hand will illustrate how perfectly this bid work- ed out. West being the leader, opened his long Club suit with the Seven, his fourth best, and Declarer cinched three Club tricks by passing this up to his Jack. He could pretty sure from the bidding that West the King of Hearts, and being anxious to utilize ” ~~ oy ot he led a Heart te trick : e finesse of course winning i Dummy. ’ Trick 3, Dummy ied &® Diamond, which Closed Hand ducked and which was won by West. West was now in a serious quandry; his choice lay between continuing his Clubs with Ace-Queen in Dummy, and leading Spades. He, felt reasonably sure that the Queen of Spades was in the South hand as South would hardly have ventured his two No Trump bid without it; so he made the wiser selection of continuing his Clubs. Dummy won trick 4 with the Queen, and led a second Diamond which the Closed Hand again ducked. West now cleared his Clubs, but South was in position to make three Diamond tricks and after that a second finesse of Hearts gave him a well earned game; three suits —Hearts, Diamon Clubs. a Of course the hand was well played, and, being a perfect ‘fitter, vues beautifully; but the important poin note is the advantage of doubling itially before South had shown weak-| dra ness by passing.

Heads of Washington musical ‘astitu- tions, schools and studios have already returned to their desks from well- earned vacations and are busy with en- rollments, programs and plans. Increased interest in musical mat- ters is,reported on all sides and there is every sign of a prosperous musical year in the Nationa! Capital, Under the direction of Dr. Edwin C. Barnes, director of music in the public schools, elaborate programs are being mapped out for music of all kinds in the schools this year. The musical features of the public school work here have become one of the leading ele- ments in the training of Washington youth and the school orchestras, glee clubs and other organic-tions of a mu- sical nature have won a high rank in similar work throughout the country. Dr. Barnes and his staff of -ssistants are working on **~ »roblem of making the musical interests reach as many students as possible. Washington musicians are looking ‘Club, forward with eap~“<s “Junce- ment of the programs to be given at the Coolidge Chamber -Music Audito- rium of the Library of Congress under the auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. Last year these events stood out in ** -~usical calen- dar of the season. : Musical events booked for the Pan- American Union are: September 9, Open-air concert, United States Army Band. Soloists: Thomas F. Darcy, cornetist; Jottm Bauman, xlyophonist; assisting artists, Milla Ybarra Dominguez, soprano; Alfonso Zelaya, pianist; Arsenio Ralon, violinist. November 25, Friday Morning Music ll a. m., in the hall of the Americas. ' December 20, United Service Orches- tra and assisting artists, in the hall of the Americas. April 10, United Service Orchestra and assisting artists in the hall of the Americas. The organization of the Jewell Mixed Quartet is announced, the personnel being Mrs. Edith Hoffman Jones, so- prano; Mrs. Iva Loufien Guy, contralto; Paul Edward Garber, tenor, and Wil- lard Salem Haynie, bass, with Mrs. Se tsenssheesessSSpaeesneeeeeeees Jewell Downs, accompanist and direc- tress. The quartet was recently heard in recital at the Mayflower and Hamil- ton Hotels,and will be frequently fea- tured during the coming season over local radio stations. Credit for developing the first music schools in connection with settlement work in the slums of American cities, is given to Chicago in a letter -from Felix Salmond, the cellist, who is sup- porting the work of the new music com- mittee of the National Federation of Settlements. The first settlement music school, ac- cording to Salmond, was established in Chicago in 1892, as an adjunct of Hull House. It was under the direction of Eleanor Smith. The movement has grown until it reaches most of the 144 settlement centers in 44 cities of 21 States. The Carnegie Foundation has appro- priated $10,000 to the work of this music committee and has organized a music. extension council to assist in administration and development. The settlement music schools are partly self- supporting. A small fee is charged for lessons. The object is to put the pos- sibility of a musical education within the grasp of students whose circum- stances would not otherwise permit it. Announcement is made of the reor- ganization of the Washington Male Quartet, and the engagement, as bary- tone, of Willard Salem Haynie. The per- NATIONAL FURNITURE CO. === NATIONAL FURNITURE (0. sonnel of the quartet, as now consti- tuted, is: Paul Edward Garber, {first tenor; James L. Ewing, second tenor: Willard Salem Haynie, barytone, and Washington Irving Cleveland, bass and director. The quartet was heard in recital over Station WMAL Tuesday évening, being assisted by Mrs. Edith Hoffman Jones, soprano, with Mrs. Willard Salem Hay- nie and Mrs. Jewell Downs as accom- panists. The quartet will be frequently on the air the coming season. Mrs. William T. Reed, contralto, has returned from a month’s. vacation spent at the seashore and has resumed her position as soloist of Second Church of Christ, Scientist. The award of the $1,000 in prizes, offered by Mr. Rodman Wana- maker, of Philadelphia, for the best compositions by negro’ composers, will be made officially, and the names of the prize winners announced at the annual convention of the National As- sociation of Negro Musicians, Inc., to be held at St. Louis, August 20-26, in- clusive. The announcement of the suc- cessful contestants will be made at the artists’ concert on Thursday eve- ning. The prizes were offered by Mr. Wana- maker at the convention of the Na- tional Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., held in Philadelphia one year ago. He divided his offer into five clas- sifications, which included almost cash | ie every field of music, both vocal and ‘ instrumental, as the cOmposers were allowed consifierable latitude in many of these classifications. The contest aroused great interest among the negro composers of the country, as more than 260 composi- tions were submitted. and virtually every State in the Union was repre- sented. The judges held their meeting in the Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia, in June, when the successful composi- tions were selected, although the nhames of the winning composers are not yet Known even to the judges. The judges were Henry T. Burleigh, the fa- mous negro composer and singer: Charles M. Courboin, official organist of the Wanamaker Store in Philadel- phia; Carl Diton, president of the Na- tional Association of Negro Musicians, Inc.; Samuel L. Laciar, music editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and Clarence Cameron White, head of the department of music of the Institute of West Virginia. Carolyn Manning, contralto; Arseno Ralon,, violinist, and Eugene Stewart, organist, furnished the music at the wedding ceremony of Miss Grace Kee- gan and Mr. Peter Healey at St. Jc- rome’s Church, in Hyattsville, last Wednesday morning.

: | Footlights and Shadow “Ve “Qld Ironsides”’ Comes. |Double Features _ see at the National Theater the Wash- ae ted _-Yronsides,” written by Laurence Stall- ' expected to be one of the outstanding ee ~ events t | 'THE WASHINGTON POST: SUND eee ad AY. AUGUST 21, 1997. nen By JOHN J. DALY OMORROW night in Baltimore the Theater Players’ offspring gets under way. the Auditorium Theater where the Knopf Players finished last night after a successful summer season, the new National Theater Players hope to carry-on until the regular season opens—about September 12, Thus comes partly true a prediction made last season in these columns; that the National Theater Players may some day live up to the name. Stephen Augustine Daly Cochran, manager of the company at the National, aud Clifford Brooke, the director, have been partners in the theatrical business going on four years. Their enterprise at the Na- tional has attracted nation-wide attention. New York critics once in a while journey to Washington to see the productions. Actors and actress- es look upon a summer engagement here as a gift of the gods. So much so, that each year there are all sorts of overtures made by thespians anxious to “‘sign up.’’ Each season becomes just a bit more successful than its predecessor. This, the third in succession, finds the National Theater Players sitting a-top of the theatrical world. The overflow into Baltimore, therefore, is part of the natural scheme of things. All things considered, it is not improbable that another year will witness the development of the National Theater Players into a perma- nent two-city attraction. One of the difficulties of stock production is the breaking down and tearing apart after intensive rehearsal and presentation. Under the logical method, with Baltimore but 40 miles away, the National Theater Players, two companies instead of one, National In Emil Jan might shift easily from the Maryland city to the Nation’s Capital. It would mean that every other week each city would have a more fin- ished production. This week, the start of a play in Baltimore, to be finished the next in Washington, The play that starts here would fin- ish in the Monumental City. Certainly, actors and actresses would relish such a change; from the week’s order of cramming and crowd- ing, memorizing lines and situations only to forget them for new ma- terial—and all in the short space of nine or ten days. Auditors would profit, since the ease and relaxation would bring keener attitude to work on the part of performers. « a ” * W The reputation of the National Theater Players would give them entree even into the Quaker City—a town theater-wise, since it is only a stone’s throw from Atlantic City, the seaport try-out village, and within two hours to the din of Broad- way. So long as “the road’ remains Philadelphia will have the best in the theatrical business; but it has always been given to stock com- panies, and likes the method. There is an old saw to the effect that great oaks from little acorns spring, or words to thut effect. It was thus with the Nationa] Theater Players. A young fellow had an idea: That Washington, deserted by theater folks in the summer, ought to have some ssort of representation on the boards. So Steve Cochran, with wisdom growing out of some fifteen or sixteen years’ association in the theater, from call boy up, organized a company of thespians. What with the reputation Wash- ington up to that time possessed as a near relative of a hotter clime, the cognoscenti thought the man a fit subject for a celebrated eleemosynary institute across the river. When some of his friends, in a spirit of jest, started to fry eggs on the pavement outside the theater, ITH Baltimore only 40-odd miles .away, it is just the same dis- tance again to Philadelphia. Haver im Philip Gleeman, Norma Shearer and Gwen Lee in “After Midnight.’’—Palace. , one summer day three years ago, his associates gave up the ghost; but Stephen stuck to his post. | For some reason or other, possibly because Mother Nature smiled on | a native son, eggs in Washington are now fried in the regulation way— in pans atop stoves. The nights have been cool and balmy, with one or two exceptions, and persons who once journeyed to the White Moun- tains and the Adirondacks, or up the St. Lawrence past the Thousand Islands, for surcease from terrific heat of long ago, now remain to | sleep in Washington under blankets—and attend the National Theater | Players’ productions on E street. When the.band plays “There’s a Hot} Time in the Old Time Tonhight,’’ it doesn’t mean anything about the weather: merely that another play is in full bloom down under the proscenium arch where Mr, Clifford Brooke puts his charges over the hurdles. « * * . T has all been very glorious, the triumph of Steve Cochran and Clif- l ford Brooke. They started with a handicap—Washington’s reputa- tion as a hot old town insummer. Warm weather, they say, makes peo- ple cold toward the theater. With cooler weather, audiences warmed to the National Theater Players, until now the ‘‘fandom” is as rabid as the frenzied mob that follows the fortunes of Mr. Upside Down, the well-known prize-fighter, or the league team that stands in the way of a hampionship. eit you do not think Miss Leona Powers is a good leading lady—better by far than any other leading lady who ever led the way—you must never mention the case in public; daughter or son: of the Powersites. By the same virtue, if you know of-any actor, with the exception of the late John Drew, in his prime, you might happen to like better than John Glynn McFarlane, whisper it not within these confines. Nor should any- one, even if he does not like Billy Phelps, something, of course, not even to be imagined, breathe the breath of comparison naming Billy as the inferior, say, to Ralph Morgan, or John Gilbert, or any ham like that. No, sir-ee! And should, by chance, the name of Kathryn Givney be men- tioned, there is immediate doffing of caps and bending of knees. So, too, with the beloved Addy Hibbard. They come to sword-play when Ro- maine Callender is ill-treated by the press or the psuedo-public, and Charles Hampden has drummed up a following akin to that of his illus- trious name-sake, Walter. Dorothy Tierney has established'a cult for herself, a little group of worshippers endeavoring to follow along the same artistic lines; for Miss Tierney, be it understood, is the art director or directress, if you choose—of the National Theater Players. Now, all this comes under the head of worship. Hero worship and heroine worship. Cynics, of course, decry it. Why should they? It 8 a good thing to have something that takes the human eye off the ash heap and carries it to the north star, at night, or the sun by day. The National Theater Players have done that for Washington; just as the Moscow Art Players lifted the Russians from their place in the shadows and brought light and life to the temple of art. e * * * not, at least, before any BI-CITY stock producing company is nothing new under’the sun. ‘There have been others, but this promises to branch out even farther, with Philadelphia and Richmond as possible vantage points. So that the theater is witnessing the growth of a local product, since the National Theater Players had their inception and birth here on the banks of the Potom:\ Ina day of fast spreading intelligence, Bal- timore, Philadelphia ‘and Wew York know as much about what is taking place on E street as do the denizens of our own town. The players, therefore, will need no letters of introduction. when they greet and grace the boards of Baltimore. For the nonce, the local company re- mains where it is; but this time next year there is, in all likelihood, the possibility of a two-week shift—one week ‘here and the other in Baltimore.

MONTA BELL SKIT. TOPS FARLE BILL L.' Monta Bell, former Washington newspaper man, stock company pro- moter, and actor, who in a few short years has become one of the best- known and most successful directors of motion pictures, is the author of the one-act playlet, “The Acid Test,” to be presented as headline attraction of the vaudeville portion of the entertain- ment for the current week at the Earle Theater, beginning this afternoon. Mr. Bell seems destined to achieve quite as much of a name as an author as in the role of interpreter of the work of other writers in view of the fact that his recent excursion to. Washing- ton was for the purpose of filming im- portant scenes in one of his own scenarios and now close on the heels of that event comes the audible presen- tation on the Earle’s stage of & clever sketch from the same pen. “The ‘Acid Test” enlists the services of a quar- tet of well-known and highly skilled players. The Earle this week is’ particularly generous in its vaudeville presentations, five additional acts being booked in support of the Monta Bell sketch. Of these one of the most prominent will be contributed by George Watts and Belle Hawley in “Laughs Coated With Melodies,” a deftly devised and cleverly presented combination of comedy and demonstrations of Miss Hawley’s rare vocal endowments. The vaudeville pro- gram will be inaugurated by Arthur Petley & Co., in an aerial novelty, closely followed by the Titian clown, Miss Primrose Semon, glorifying “it.” The extra attractions for the week will be furnished by Percy Oakes and Pamela Delour and ‘their Imperial Marimba Orchestra, with Anita Wino- grad and Lenore Puron featured in an elaborate offering which boasts Edward Burke as its master of ceremonies. The sixth act on the bill will bring to the Washington stage for the first time June Shirley Blake, ‘“‘The Physical Cul- ture Baby,” who is a native of Jackson- ville, Fla., and whose mother was for- merly Miss Anna K, Hagen, of Washing- ton. A pupil of Gary Ford whose pic- tures are seen in.“Physical Culture” and other similar publications, this six- year tot, after one year of training, of- fers an interval of decidedly precocious and versatile entertainment. The photoplay feature for the week will be one of the most talked-of sub- jects of recent release. Producers’ “White Gold” has received national commendation as one of the outstand- ing screen hits of the year with Jetta Goudal in the stellar role. Le Paradis Popular. As summer begins to draw to its close the Le Paradis roof grows more popular. Le Paradis-novelty nights.will feature the smartest of entertainment novel- ties. Dick Himber, featured violinist of Le Paradis Band, has written a tabloid revue, “Through the Cities of the Old World,” to be presented by the Le Para- dis Band as an early season feature. In this jazz tour the members of the Le Paradis:Band will charter a synco- pative sightseeing wagon for a trip through Europe, with stop-offs at Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and Edinburgh with.a bolshevik climax in Petrograd. “Theatrical nights,” the regular Thursday attraction at Le Para- “sen will be continued throughout the all. eene @ - ' i. € ait ’ ° : %, ss - ; esl | big ai Scene From All “The Donovan Affair.”— National. 3 : Lewis Stone and Barbara - ow 4 Bedford in “BACK TOGOD’S COUNTRY” AT THE RIALTO Renee Adoree, who bounded into the affections of motion picture fans throughout the entire United States in “The Big Parade,” is the star of “Back to God’s - Country,” adapted to the screen from the popular novel of the | same name by James Oliver Curwood, | is the feature at the Rialto this week. | “Back to God’s Country’? is a power- | ful tale of the Northland full oz love, and tragedy.

Jean Debois and his daughter, Renee, live on a northern Canada mining claim which is coveted by Blake, a ship’s cap- tain, and Leblanc, keeper of the trad- ing post. Bob Stanton, an emissary from a big mining corporation, pur- chases the mine and falls in love with Renee. Jean-and Renee return to civ- ilization, but are unhappy. Bob visits them by securing passage on Blake’s boat and shows up at a party. Bob’s love grows. Blake induces Renee and Jean to return North on his boat. On the way up, suspicion of the three as to Blake’s plan to get Renee and the mine, grows. They force him as ships captain, to marry Renee and Bob.. By a planned accident Bob is injured bad- ly and Jean knocked overboard to his death. The boat lands and Renee plans to get Bob to a doctor. She gets away in a dog sled, pursued by tht con- spirators, Leblanc and Blake. They are caught, but the timely arrival of Wapi, a powerful wolf dog, routs the pursuers.

NEW SEASON FOR STRAND '' Harry Jarboe,,new manager of the Strand, announces the opening of the season at that theater with a matinee performance of “Snapshots of 1927,” a musical-comedy revue, next Saturday. Supplementing the speaking portion of the program for the first three days will be the screen feature,-Lon Chaney in “The Unknown.” The photoplay at- traction the latter part of the week will be the “The Callahans and Mur- phys.” Mr. Jarboe has booked a number of clever musical comedy revues for his first season at the Strand, Each produc- tion will carry 25 entertainers and each week will witness an entirely new pres- entation, with better class of screen features and enjoyable shorter subjecté combined with the revues. ‘The programs will run continuously from 12:30 noon until 11 o’clock each night Prices for the afternoon per- formances will be 15, 25 and 40 cents.

JANNINGS IS FEATURE AT COLUMBIA “The Way of All Flesh” the picture that fuses the greatest acting talent of the continent with the cream of American production genius is the at- traction now current at Loew’s Co- lumbia theater. 7 Declared the most convincingly human story ever transferred to the screen “The Way of All Flesh” is the first American-made starring vehicle of Emil Jannings, international screen idol. Jannings is the actor whose Boss Meuller in “Variety” was agreed by all critics and exhibitors to be the outstanding film performance of 1926. He also won fame for his work as the hotel porter in “The Last Laugh” and as Henry VIII in “Deception.” All the resources of the Paramount studio in Hollywood were called upon during the production of “The Way of best professional All Flesh.” The talent available was assembled around the facile star and the most efficient technical staff procurable in the film capitol brought it to the screen. Belle Bennett, famous for her “Stellas Dallas” portrayal, plays Jan- nings’ wife with a sympathetic under- standing that is declared inspirational. Phyllis Haver, epitomization of blonde loveliness, is the other woman. “The Way of All Flesh” was directed by Victor Fleming, who made “The Rough Riders,’ “Mantrap” “The Blind Goddess” “Lord Jim” and many other remarkable successes. prepared?” by Lajos Biro and Jules Furthm an, .

Sire a ; - , “LONESOME | ‘LADIES™ At THE METRO “Lonesome Ladies” is the arresting ‘title of the First National production to be presented as chief feature of the bill for the week beginning this after- noon at Crandall’s Metropolitan Thea- ter. with Lewis S. Stone and Anna Q. Nilsson in the rolls of costellar im- portance. This engaging comedy-drama of marital boredom will be surrounded by a group of auxiliary attractions of the first rank, of which possibly the most important will be Bobby Vernon's new two-reel comedy “Short Socks,” and musical embellishment which will have as its piece de resistanc® a con- cert petite, especially arranged for this engagement by Daniel Breeskin, con- ductor of the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra of solo artists. In “Lonesome Ladies” is related an interesting and highly amusing story of married life when the glamour of youthful romance has begun to fade. John Fosdick, the husband, is mis- takenly believed to. be a philanderer and through incidents equally as mis- leading his wife’s folly also is be- lieved to be a trifle too playful. Each departs from the domestic fireside in search of true love, which is presumed to be hiding just around the corner. After numerou; misadventures into which a strong vein of comedy as well as one of sound drama has been in- corporated, each decides that after all the only true.love of hie or her life is that which centers in the erstwhile de- serted bome. It is in such plays as this that Lewis S. Stone and Anna Q. Nilsson have revealed the highest reaches of their recognized skill in the sane delineation of wholesome Ameri- can types. It is of interest also to the judicious amusement seeker’ that “Lonesome Ladies” marks the first co- stellar association of Mr. Stone and Miss Nilsson for many months. In “Short Socks’? Bobby Vernon has another lively vehicle for his well- known comedy propensities. He is sup- ported as usual by a gifted coterie of vivacious young Christie beauties and funmakers of attainment. “The ab- breviated camera subjects also will em- brace a new release of the Metropolitan World Survey, which will reflect the important news events of the ast week. AMERICANS IN DEMAND AS SINGERS Mr. Benito Mussolini, Italy’s well- known Duce, must view with consider- able alarm and annoyance these days the waning influence of Italian and other foreign singers on the American concert and opera stage, for it is un- deniable that American singers are growing in power and importance in their home sector and no longer do such singers even trouble to conceal their American nativity under a for- eign nom de plume. Just how strong the American move- ment is becoming in local and national concert and opera circles can be gained from a survey of the artists announced for Washington during the coming season of 1927-238, which will open late in October. , Only .Jast week, it was announced | that Geraldine Farrar, a real, live | American star, who gained the heights | Of the Metropolitan when the Ita‘ian | tradition was strongest, is reentering the concert and opera arena, both at home and abroad, and that she will be heard in Washington during the com- ing winter in a concert series with another distinguished American singer, Edward Johnson, the tenor, who is a member of the Metropolitan cast at the present time. Edward Johnson, whose forthcoming concert early in November will usher in Mrs. Wilson-Greene‘s Philharmonic Course, is particularly blatant in his Americanism. In order to get a hearing before Italian audiences, Johnson sang for seven years under the psuedonym of Edourado de Giovanni, and when he finally came back to the New World, he vowed that his baptismal name would never be laid aside again, even though it is plain, rugged American. Another 100 per cent American star who will sing in Washington this win- ter is Marion Talley, who will open Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s artists’ course of concerts with an appearance early in December. Marion Talley is not only American but a Missouri product as well, yet she received the biggest ove- tion ever accorded an artist in the his- tory of the Metropolitan, when she made her debut two years ago. Another. out-and-out American is Lawrence Tibbett, the Metropolitan barytone, who will sing here under Mrs Wilson-Greene’s management early in November in the same course with Lucrezia Bori, Josef Hofmann, ° Sigrid Onegin and “The Beggar's Opera.” Tibbett is the son of a for- mer California sheriff and he’s proud of it. Furthermore, he’s just turning 30 years old, but he’s never laid aside the name Lawrence to adopt Lorenzo. Nor must one forget that Washing- ton this year will witness its first performance of “The King’s Hench- man,” the opera-in-English success of last spring at the Metropolitan, which was written by Deems Taylor, the American music critic, with Edna St. Vincent Millay, as librettist. Further- more, this opera is being sent on tour as an “all-Américan” company, even to the singers, and that fact is being emphasized by the management. It seems hard to believe, but, appar- ently, the American is being recogniz- ed at last on the American concert and opera stage. Tabloid Revue. Resumption of the Le Paradis novelty nights and the tabloid revues presented by the famous Le Paradis band are to be featured strongly in the early fall. So many requests have been made for the resumption of the Le Paradis revues that Dick Himber is now busy writing a brand-new one to be called “Through the. Cities of the Old World.” This Cosmopolitan revue tour will carry the band through Paris, London, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, Madrid, Tokyo and Petrograd, in a grand swing around the circle. Milton Davis, pianist, has been fill- ing in for/ Director Jack Golden, now on vacation. “Theatrical Night,” the Thursday feature of Le Paradis, con- tinues its course as a record bre&kinug - attraction. Powhatan Roof Garden. The roof garden atop the Pow- hatan Hotel, at Pennsylvania avenue, Eighteenth and H streets, is the ren- dezvous of smart Washingtonians and their out-of-town visiting guests. Every week-day evening the garden is open for dinner from 6:30 to 9 with music but no cover charge, and the main din- ing room prices prevailing. Beginning at 9:30 and continuing to 12:30 supa dancing is enjoyed to music by the Powhatan Hotel eight-piece orchestra, under the personal direction of John Slaughter, with cover charge and Pow- oe i ’ | }

Gathered in a drawing room of a fash- ionable Long Island home are a group of guests, among them being one Jack Donovan, whose morals are such that he has few friends in the group, though persona grata for social reasons. In the brief interim that the lights are lowered to demonstrate a stunt by Donovan, he is assaulted and with the flashing on of the lights he is discov- ered in his death gasps. The police enter, and no one is per- mitted to leave the establishment. In- mocence seems to rest legitimately on every member of the party, but the police are certain the assassin is in the room. Who killed Jack Donovan? Why? What significance has the luminous catseye ring that Donovan owned and which was indirectly responsible for) setting the scene for the criminal? With these questions the author of “The Donovan Affair,” Owen Davis, con- cerns himself in unravelling the mys- . It offers a most baffling problem tthe audience, for, as prescribed by all mystery thrilllers, suspicion never falls where it belongs. The play had a lengthy run in New York last season, and then went on tour. being seen here in the spring with the original company. EPIC FILMS COME DAILY “Motion-picture makers of the world, in their search for the new and unusual in screen entertainment, have been di- verted from the path that will take them to their goal,” according to Emil Jannings, actor-idol of the world, now hailed by American audiences as the greatest thespian. before the camera, both here and abroad.” “But the way is now clear,” Jannings continues, and then goes on to explain his conclusion. “Epic pictures, great, sweeping, costly pageants, have for some time been considered the last word, the ultimate goal for the producer whose ambition it was to make the public and critics agree that ‘here is the greatest picture of all time.’ Now the producers realize that this, to a certain extent, is an illusion. “Picture makers now realize that what the theater patrons want are sim- ple, human stories; stories that give a cross section of life. Big moments in little lives, if you choose to put it that way. “Such a picture is ‘The Way of All Flesh,’ which has given me what I con- sider to be the most convincing char- acter opportunity of my career. I felt that destiny entered its influence when I first read the story. It seemed to me that the part of August Schiller, the kindly, home-leving, but humanly weak bank cashier, had been created espe- cially for me. I consider ‘The Way of All Flesh’ to be the result of the great- est effort, the finest work of my life, even exceeding ‘The Last Laugh’ and ‘Variety’ in dramatic simplicity, real- ism and humanness. “During the filming of this picture,” says Jannings, “I was inspired by those around ime. Belle Bennett, who plays Mrs. Schiller, I consider to be one of the three greatest actresses the screen has ever known. Never have I seen a woman give a more sympa- thetic performance. “Miss Bennett’s marvelous work and inspirational help was paired by that of Phyllis Haver, one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses. With these two remarkable women heading my supporting cast and with Victor Flem- ing directing ‘The Way of All Flesh’ could not have been-.otherwise than the crowning achievement of my life.” This dramatic treatment of the sac- rifices of one man for his family, of his reaction to the attraction of a worldly woman, after many habit-form- ing years as a proud father and hus- band, is now ghowing at Loew’s Colum- bia Theater. Gets Contract. Clifford Brooke’s hurried trip to New York last week netted him a directing contract with Al H. Woods. Woods and Charles Dillingham will produce Ed- ward Knoblock’s play, “The Mulberry | Bush,” and Mr. Brooke will direct it, | Isobel Elsom, Edward Nicander with James Rennie, Claudette Colbert, and others in the important roles. Produc- tion will not start until Brooke’s sum- | mer season with the National Players ends September 5. EMIL JANNINGS, “Passion” at the Little Theater. “DANGEROUS AGE” ISMYTH When is a married man or woman most likely to have a serious love affair “on the side?” “At forty,” says Lewis Stone, speak- in | ing for the male sex. “At thirty-five,” declares Anna Q. Nilsson, for her half of humanity. Statistics go to prove that the cele- brated film players are right. The dangerous age for men, if we consider divorce court records, is from 35 to 45, and for women from 30 to 40. The modern tendency shows that wilder romances may be expected for 40 and 35, respectively, than of the masculine 35 and the feminine 30. Mr. Stone, who is cofeatured with Anna Q. Nilsson in the highly enter- taining First National domestic com- edy at Crandall’s Metropolitan and Ambassador theaters, beginning today, “Lonesome Ladies,” explodes one theory concerning love ages. He brings statistics to bear to show that men of 40 and women of 35 do not consistently “rob the cradle.” They frequently attract and love members of the opposite sex of half their age, but as frequently find romance with those of equal years. “In that respect, love is ageless,” Stone points out. *] have known men »4to be equally fascinated by women of 20 and 40, I do think that a man of 20 is often the successful rival of a man of 40 for the affections of a girl of 20, other things being equal. The older man’s poise and experience and subtlety give him the advantage. “The man of 20 is equally at an ad- vantage over the man of 40 in the race for the hand of a woman of 35. A maternal feeling adds to the other at- tractions in such a case. As to the success of matches, a disparity of ages makes little difference, even when the woman is the older. Modern women know how to preserve their charm.” Miss Nilsson feels that no modern woman should worry about her age, in its relation to romance, from 20 to 5. It is woman’s duty to stay young and charming, and it is possible for her to do so physically and in spirit if she has’good health and takes proper care of herself. “Modern life is breaking the tradi- tion that a wife loses charm at 35,” the celebrated candinavian beauty declares. “I can't speak from experience, yet—but women of my ac- quaintance whose actual ages are be- tween 35 and 40 “‘outcharm’ the younger ones, hold their husbands, enjoy iife, and are in every way re- garded as of the ‘younger’ set. “It’s a matter of health, modern methods of preserving beauty, and, above all, one’s mental attitude. We are now entering an era of revolution in love and marriage, and many a tradition will be shattered in estab- lishing a.new order of domestic rela- tionship. One of them is that romance ceases with marriage.” “Lonesome Ladies” is a very human and amusing comedy, based on domes- tic problems of the day. It was di- rected by Joseph Henabery and pro- duced for First National Pictures by Ray Rockett.

GREATEST SUCCESS ’ Ps I a) ee EM tReet ay _ Sat Ma! 756. 50¢ : NATIONAL THEATER PLAYERS, DIRECTION CLIFFORD BROOKE, OFFER THE YEAR’S BEST MYSTERY PLAY | Coming Theater Attractions “Turn to the Right,” the famous comedy that had a run of fourteen months on Broadway, lengthy road tours and a constant revival in stock since it was produced in 1917, will be the offering of the National Players for the week following “The Donovan Af- fair.” “Turn to the Right” has often been termed the ideal box-office picture, for its dialogue alternates between tears and laughter. Winchell Smith, author of “The Boomerang,” “Officer 666,” “Polly of the Circus,” and coauthor of “Lightnin’,” wrote it and is still re- ceiving royalties from its production each year. The story concerns two young prison graduates who fall under the saintly influence of their pal’s mother. Through the exercise of their “professional” tal- ents they rescue her from the clutches of an old skinflint. One of the boys is a pickpocket, the other a burglar. Be- tween the two of them they manage to not only abash the village money shark but, in a perfectly honest way, they manage a small fortune for “the dear old lady.” Running through the story are three distinct romances and some. attractive settings, particularly that one of the peach orchard in full bloom. Next week’s attraction at the Gayety Theater, beginning Sunday matinee, August 28, will be James Thatcher's “Around the World Revue.” § Mr. Thatcher wili be remembered as the local manager of Poli's Theater here. He entered the producing field last season with Columbia attractions that toured the Columbia circuit, playing at the Gayety Theater here, Mr. Thatcher’s new production is a brand- new show in every particular, in two acts, with a company of 40, including an extra large chorus of 24 girls. There will be fourteen scenes and eighten musical numbers, making “Around the World Revue” a musical extravaganza of the most pretentious order. “Cheating @heaters” is another Broadway §tagé: Success that has been made into motion picture that will be shown at the Rialto for a week ‘start- ing Saturday, August 27. Betty Comp- son and Kenneth Harian head the cast in this crook play, which combines the airiness of farce ‘with the thrill of mystery and daring. Added to this is the inevitable love affair that refuses to run smooth, even though it is en- gineered by the smoothest of crooks. “Cheating Cheaters” is the story of an entrancing shoplifter who is re- leased from jail through the -good of- fices of a shyster lawyer. Through the same slippery lega}) parasite she is in- troduced to a group of safe crackers whose admiration and respect she wins by the deftness of her pocket-picking fingers. Edward Johnson, the American tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, will open Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s philharmonic course with a concert at Poli’s early in November. Clara Bow, in her latest starring ve- hicle for Paramount “Hula,” is the at- traction announced for showing at Loew’s Palace Theater for the week be- ginning Saturday, August 27, as the principal screen attraction. The attrac- tions appearing on the stage in con- nection with the showing of “Hula” will be announced later. Following the current engagement of Emil Jannings first American-made production, “The Way of All Flesh” at Loew's Columbia Theater, “‘Beau Geste” is announced as the attraction. “Beau Geste” is a Paramount production which had its first Washington show- ings at the National Theater, where t enjoyed an extended run at increased prices. The cast features Ronald Col- man, Alice Joyce, Noah Beery, Mary Brian, Ralph Forbes and other screen celebrities. It will be shown here at the regular admission scale now in ef- fect at Loew’s Columbia. At the request of many patrons the} Motion Picture Guild will present at the Little Theater next week Wallace Reid and Elsie Ferguson in “Forever,” the screen version of “Peter [bbetson.” This was Reid’s favorite picture, and one on which he spent much time and energy in the attempt t6 make a beau- tiful and convincing story. Emi! Jannings and Pola Negri will appear at the Wardman Park Theater next week in “Passion,’”’ which is cur- rent at the Little Theater this week. “Ten Modern Commandments,” Para- mount’s production of an original story of backstage life by Jack Lait, nation- ally khown short story writer, will com- prise the feature attraction at Cran- dall’s Metropolitan Theater next week. This engaging story was adapted to the screen by Doris Anderson and Paul Gangelon, and was directed by Dorothy Arzner, Paramount’s woman director. The principal male role is played by Neil Hamilton and the supporting\ cast includes Maude Truax, El Brendel, Arthur Hoyt and Jocelyn Lee. Among the vaudeville artists engaged for next week at the Earle Theater are Frank Sificlaire and company in a novel offering and one of the most precocious juvenile artistS before the Three other Keith acts of the first rank will complete the stage portion of the entertainment, which will have as its featured first run photoplay the “Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary,” in which May Robson appears in the role which she created on the articulate stage, supported by Harrison Ford, Phyllis Haver, Franklin Pangborn, Robert Ede- son and Arthur Hoyt. STAR CUTS... HER FOOTAGE It wasn’t sO Many years ago that motion picture stars held fast to the idea that film footage was a distinc- tion of stardom. The stars of today are beginning to realize that it isn’t how long they are on the screen but what they do while they are in front of an audience. Norma Shearer, thoughtful young woman that she is, has gone a bit further than the others and announces that too much footage is a detriment to a feminine star—no matter what the action is. “There are very few good stories that one person.can. carry by herself,” says Miss Shearer. « “In fact, 1 doubt whethet a star should attempt to take the burden of carrying too much action. If she is missing from a portion of the scenes the very fact that she is not there helps to lend suspense to the picture. It is only natural that an audience should begin to wonder where she is and just when she will veap- pear.” That Miss Shearer practices what she preaches is proved by her performance in “After Midnight,” her latest starring picture for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which opened at Loew’s Palace Theater yester- day. She is quickly realized by any audience as the star of the production, but there are other parts extremely im- portant to the telling of the story and the players are permitted to portray the importance of these roles. Gwen Lee, who heretofore has had to be content with more or less un- important roles, was given the role of Norma’s sister, a part so important that its removal would kill the theme of the entire film. Miss Lee is not only given an cpportunity to act, which she does in a very commendable man- ner, but is given an opportunity for film footage that few stars would be brave enough, or sufficiently generous, to allow. The result is a good perform- ance by both star and character player without the latter’s work infringing in the least upon the genuineness of the stellar role. “I would rather have a chance to act in a role that will be remembered than an opportunity to walk through all the scenes of the picture when those scenes fail to create an impres- sion on the minds of an audience,” Says Miss Shearer. Norma believes that every. picture has a double duty to perform—enter- tainment and education. “But,’” she cautions, “the message which a picture gives an audience must be delivered in @ manner that it will be absorbed sub- consciously with the entertainment features.” Lawrence Gray supports anes Shearet in this film.

a rcen _ THE WASHING GTON POST: SUNDAY, en ree | = re — do ee ee ee ne ae Ping A MOVIEGRAPHS mm By FELICIA PEARSON Well, there’s not much on the air this morning except a Salvation ‘emy band outside our house. Only a lot of lively little odds and ends, here goes. The latest about the Chaplin case which isn’t so hot off the platter at that, now that Lita Gray has $850,000 in cash, the custody of her sons and a few bonded whatnots (Mr. Chaplin might not like that last). The production of “The Circus’’ will proceed in September, and the. peace of mind of one-third of the population of the world will pop up like corn. As the last of the yellow-backs slips_into Mrs. Chaplin’s mesh bag there is a gusty and universal sigh. We may all sit back now and rock our rockers. ‘ One hero is safe. Then there’s the big-to-do out on the Coast concerning Valentino’s brother. This new cinema aspirant, Alberto Guglielmi by name, is having his face lifted and his nose shifted. It is universally agreed that the creator was in a good humor when he made the late Rudolph Valentino, but it would also seem that the star’s brother was molded when the All-Powerful was in a less gracious mood. Poor Guglielmi, California’s best plastic surgeon has not helped out Alberto to get a contract in the great Kingdom of New Face Finders. *. © *- John Gilbert, whose ups and downs have been going up of late will do another Russian picture as soon as “Fires of Youth’”’ are completed. As a Washington newspaper man Mr. Jack may not be such great shakes. But I dunno. You never can tell. However, if ‘Fires of Youth’’ doesn’t please us we can wait around and console ourselves later with “The Cossacks,” in which the fur-trimmed Jack will do the stuff that he can do—and how! Be it Tolstoi or be it Glyn. " « * * a Speaking of noses, did you hear Buster Keaton’s nose was on the bum’? Due to an unscheduled steamboat collision between the two studio steamboats ‘‘en set’’ with Ernest Torrence and Buster Keaton during the making of a comedy scene from “Steamboat Bill, Jr.’”’ Net result Buster has a broken nose. Buster’s celluloid career from slap- stick to champion lightweight funny man has been strewn with broken ribs and socked jaws. Not that everybody doesn’t love Buster either. Yt’s just that he has a gift for standing on the south side of all the traveling socks, biffs, pows, and zowies usually intended for somebody else. So now the work on “Steamboat’Bill, Jr.,” is suspended until the adhesive, &c., can be removed from Mr. Keaton’s frozen face, ” 7 . = First National picks the two lucky college boys! The ten young wouldb-be Gilberts who were chosen by the First National committee that visited ten colleges last spring—you remember? The boys had parts in ‘“‘The Drop Kick’’—a collegiate film, I should say. The two outstanding kids were John Westwood, of Princeton, and John Stan- baugh, of Chicago. First: National is taking the two young Johns wns its wings. They are to be led gently around the studio until they learn to walk around it with the aimful ease of leading men. “Get ’em young” is F. N.’s motto, but nothing’s said about treating *em rough—although they’re sure to get some loud teaching through the noisy end of a megaphone. I guess you’ve heard about the old man who was found living in a Canadian-Rocky mountain shack in 1925. He didn’t know there had been a war. But here’s 101l-year-old William Bradshaw, of Campville, Conn., who attended his first motion picture last week. Old William remembers slave days. He insinuated that he’d just as leave not be “aggatized and pesticated by these modern conuptions.” * * =: @- Young Ramon Navarro may quit his career and go into a monastery, That’s the news. Whether it’s one of those moss-covered publicity stunts —first cousin to ‘‘farewell’’ tours indulged in by his brothers and sisters of the stage—well, that’s hard to tell. But this report, whatever it is, has the young “Ben Hur” telling: the world that he’s through. He never really cared for pictures—he is deeply religious (which latter is prob- ably true, because he fs the child of a devoutly Catholic Mexican family} and his religion, they say, is the stronger pull. Hollywood palls. Bev- erly Hills is dust and ashes. The studio is a hectic place and the life of the great world does not please one of the handsomest and most popular young stars on the screen today. His family is said to be urging him to follow his devout inclination, Next Christmas Navarro will close the doors of earth’s life and fame be- hind him—perhaps. If Mr. Navarro really does it, there’ll. be a big pop- oat look in the eye of these United States, It’s not once in a hundred years that a young fellow of face and fortune has the courage to fall back into oblivion, when he believes he should. A large pie-sized hunk of population will tear their hair—we’ll bet a bean on it. They’ll beg Ramon to can tke play and continue to be a child of the world and of Metro-Goldwin-Mayer. Here’s to the success of their howl! * 7 * Miss Mollie O’Day, late leading lady to Dick Barthlemess in ‘‘The Pat- ent Leather Kid,” is going to be a star next year. First National doesn't believe in sky-rocked stuff.- If they go right up, they come right down. Although we all admit that in “The Patent Leather Kid’ Miss O’Day was the cat’s pajamas, the snake’s hips and the dinousaur’s step-ins. In spite of all this, First National won't let her be a star overnight Oh wise F. N.! ees ete ae Lillian Gish is going to play in “The Enemy’’—Channing Pollock’s stage wow. * = e « I should have run off a line or two about our Gloria in the so-called editorial. It seems Our Gloria is having trouble with her (our?) marquis. Or doesn’t it seem? The marquis has been working in Los Angeles. In fact he’s been putting in eight hours kidding the patent-leather natives into buying an extra Hispano-Suiza or two. Or an extra Rolls was it? Anyhow, that’s all off. The marquis has sailed. The world rocks on it’s axis. . It’s not unlikely that the sleek-haired Gloria patted him on the head and told him to wire her when he was planning to come back. His return will tie a tin can to a lot of stray talk. Well, per- sonally, I’d like to see Our Gloria settle right down with her (our?) marquis. om” * oe * Speaking of weddings, James Cruze has started a little racket out fn Los entitled ‘‘On to Reno’’—Marieé Prevost and Ned Sparks top the Dill. ca * 7 e Karl Freund is coming over from Germany. He’s the guy who’s re- sponsible for all the new trick photography that’s come across the water. Mr. Freund, in short, is Germany’s crack cameraman, and believe us— that’s a big boast. He has just completed a picture of Berlin which has no plot. But the kick of the picture is the strange curry of cubist lights and angles that Mr. Freund has coaxed into his lens, and which, when viewed by all of us in “Metropolis,” “Variety,” “The Last Laugh” and other German pictures, drove half of us wild“with delight and the rest | of us wild, just wild. 2 ; When Mr. Freund lands over here, he will start a fillum all about New York. He will walk quietly in New York’s noisiest life with a camera concealed abeut his person. For the subjects, says Mr. Freund, must not know they are being taken. The result of all these little snaps will be New York on a new and geometrical slant—a strange city full cf shafts of curious light, and triangles and X - the nth power. This will be named “A Jazz Symphony.” New Orleans has a theater called the Saenger, which during the showing of “‘The Callahans and the Murphys” presented each patron with a valid accident insurance policy providing $5,000 for loss of life by laughter while viewing the fillum, Well, a great many ‘of us might see the picture at that, and live to die of good old apoplexy. ; = S, ae: OO.

STRANDED MAKING THIS PICTURE A location trip into the snow coun- try in the dead of winter almost turned disastrously to the company which made “Back to God’s Country,” the fea- ture picture now showing at the Rialto. Renee Adoree, the star, with a com- pany of 50 were stranded in Mammoth, Calif. The nearest habitation outside of the small town was many miles away with impassable roads between. While the company lived as sparingly as possible with the limited food sup- ply it was clear that the rations would not. last. Communication to the out- side world was.cut off and for a time the situation was_a critical one. Sensing that something must be wrong, Carl Laemmle, president of Uni- versal, dispatched two airplanes to the location from Universal City. These planes took food and other essentials to the company, which lasted until the | weather cleared. . Noted Bana Director 8 Named for Committee Lieut. Comdr. John Philip Sousu has accepted the chairmanship of the ad- visory committee of band directors that will arrange for State and na- tional band:and. orchestra contests to be held in May of 1928°at Joliet, I11. It is expected that school and college musical organizations from practically every State in the Union will be repre- sented among the contestants. Com- mander Sousa was. proffered the chair- manship by Joseph E.

Keith’s Theater this week, songster in the world of Keith-Albee vaudeville, dis- cusses from her dressing room a few of the reasons for her popularity in the two-a-day. “Vaudeville is probably the hardest theatrical world of all. It means con- centrated effort every moment you are on the stage. You have a limited time in which to make good and it takes all the effort you can corral to register a hit im so short a time. “Personality is another basic quality upon which vaudeville achievement is founded. The artist on the stage must have sufficient personality to hold the attention of every member of his or her audience, and, further, must be able to sell that personality to every variety of audience. “Unselfishness is an important vaude- ville * attribute. Jealousy has ruined more than one career. I believe in sur- rounding myself with artists as cap- able, if. not more capable, than myself: In that way I not only keep the caliber of the entire act high, but I give my- self a stimulus for my best effort. “Ambition is essential to the vaude- ville star. One must strive constantly to improve one’s art, never rest con- headline position.” Miss Seeley started her theatrical ca- reer in stock company. When the jazz craze hit the country she was one of the first recruits to its banner. She left stock company and went into vaudeville, where she established her- self as one of the best entertainers on the circuit.

This film will in- troduee two youngsters, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. “Loves of Carmen,’’ a new version of Prosper Merimee’s story, is another high light in the Fox anouncement. It was directed by. Raoul Walsh, who made “What Price Glory?” and features Mc- Laglen and Miss Del Rio. The other productions in the. Fox lineup are: “Paid to Love,” a comedy drama, with George O’Brien and Virginia Valli; “Singed,” a drama of the oil fields, starring Blanche Sweet, with Warner Baxter supporting; “Two Girls Wanted,” Miss Gaynor’s first starring vehicle, her reward for her performance:-in “Sev- enth Heaven;” “East Side, West Side,’’ another George O’Brien-Virginia Valli vehicle, made in New York by Allan Dwan from Felix Riesenberg’s success- ful. novel; “Publicity .

Thus far the voting on the final play of the National’s summier season is indefinite. Patrons who are supplied weekly with balloting blanks have a habit of shifting from week to week. In the lead, however, by a slight mar- gin, is “Seventh Heaven.” The season’s final week begins. September 5 and the decision will be made a week previously to allow for rehearsals. © Chevy Chase Charivari. Wednesday “vaudeville nights” at Chevy Chase Lake are proving to be the most popular amusement events ever Jaunched ‘at this dance resort. Next Wednesday a special surprise bill is be- ing planned. Two Meyer Davis bands are featured on the upper and lower pavilions. Ben Levine, leader of the band.on the upper pavilion, directs what is undoubtedly the most hectic brand of collegiate jazz now being pur- veyed. The big band on the lower pa- yilion is led by Al Kamons,. Audience Appeal. Mystery plays, when rightly written, have greater audience appeal than the more conventional form. The audience, first is entertained by the dramatic sequences of the play and, secondly, by the intriguing way the author has of defying an outsider to guess the outcome. In “The Donovan Affair,” at the National for the new week, Owen Davis has succeeded in making poor guessers out of the entire audience.

6) STORING PREDICTED OF RADIO PROGRAM FOR USE ANYTIME) — Marconi Expected to Accom- plish Method by Continu- ous Circulation. AUTSRALIAN WRITER TELLS OF POSSIBILITY Aural Reproductions Would Be Permissible of His- toric Ceremonies. It 4g a fascinating mental exercise to speculate on the possible develop- menté of such a thing as wireless. The possibilities are practically unlimited and the fantastic impossibilities of to- day are the commonplaces of tomorrow, a farseeing Australian writer predicts, Australia, by the way, being one of the most progressive radio countries in the world. “Comedians on the music hall stage make: merry with what they conceive to bé legitimate objects of fun simply because they are such incongruities, and yet the future stultifies their mirth,” the Australian goes on. “I:remember in this nnection the jokes. that uséd to be ade on the stage when moving pictures first be- gan -to come into vogue, but béfore any one realized the full extent of the new’ fnvention, then only used for amusement. “Wars,” said the come- dians,; “would have to be postponed because the moving picture: outfit had not ‘atrived to take the picture of the ‘commander in ehief going’ into *bat- tie.” It was not even dimly realized that the cinema would be actually-an indispensable part of every army's out- fit. Fantdstic. Wireless Development. “I recall this old and almost for- gotten mental attitude because I want to write of a fantastic development of wireless which has just been prophe- sied to me by the representative of Marconi in Australia. In fact, it is more than a prophesy. It represents something on which Marconi is work- ing at the present time. ; “It is the storing of programs. That i1§ to say, instead of our having to wait to the tiny hours of the morning to listen in to a London station, or Lon- doners having to do the same to hear the program of 3LO Melbourne, we. will be able to tune in on a certain wave length at any hour we like and yester- day’s program will be available to us. It will, in.some mysterious way of Mar- coni’s, have been stored up. The meth- o@ employed involves the continuous circulation. during the day of the pro- gram just. put on the air, so that after, lét us say, 3L0 Melbourne has closed down, or is even engaged on the begin- ning of another program, the earlier one is being discharged around the world from point to point, available to any one at hours modre reasonable than those idiotic times from 1 a. m. onward. “I confess I don’t profess to be able te explain how it is going to be ‘done, but if Marconi says it will be, Ill be willing to lay more than a shade of odds that he will be proved right. Historic Ceremony Overlooked. “The possibility I have adumbrated above reminds me of a very good bet overlooked by. the government in con- htm with thé ‘broadcasting of the nberra ceremonies, By the exercise of a little. thought and ingenuity it should have been quite feasible to have preserved for our national archives the aural reproduction of the historic cere- mony at the capitol. The duke’s, the prime. minister’s speeches, the descrip- tion of the scenes, the military com- mands,’ ail of- these could have been recorded as the wireless made them available, and records could have been gold abroad. “There is small doubt that recording of the broadcast descriptions of such important historical events will soon be doné as a matter of course. No new advance has to be made on our present knowledge to make this possible, and, looking back, it seems inconceivable that the thing should not have been done before.” Bullard Comments On Spirit of St. Louis While Harry LaMertha was testifying upon behalf of station KMOX at St. Louls in a recent hearing before the Federal Radio Commission, he told of the cooperative ownership of the sta- tion and how numerous commercial in- terests were working together in its successful operation. “That,” Rear Admiral Bullard, chair- man of the commission, commented audibly, “is what might be called the ‘Spirit of St. Louis.’” Pulpit Association May Obtain WHT There is a rumor that station WORD, operated by the Peoples Pulpit Asso- ciation, of Batavia, Ill., has been ne- gotiating for the purchase of station WHT, of Chicago. If this deal should be consummated the Peoples Pulpit As- sociation, of which Judge Rutherford, said to be Pastor Russell’s successor, is the head, would soon own outright three stations—WHT, WORD and WBBR, Rossville,'N. Y. Likewise it is understood negotiations are undér way for the pulpit associa- tion to broadcast the programs over station WLTH, Brooklyn, which is now dividing time with WBBR.

It is her second radio recital as an Atwater ‘cellist in local can-born, but all of her musical training has heen gained. in this eoun- try. when he came to this country. Upon the advice of this master she left America in 1922 to make her Her unqualified success on this occasion paved the way for other recitals in Dresden, Leipsig and Munich. Lent made her New York debut March 5, 1923, and received from the professional debut in Berlin. She was the first American pupil to be accepted by Leopold Auer Miss press. the unanimous verdict—that of an artist with a world career before her. The succeeding seasons have fully borne out these first critical impressions in her orchestral and festival engagements with the New York State, New York Symphony, Chicago and Philadelphia Or- chestras, and with the Detroit Symphony in both Detroit and Buffalo. In addition, she has given recitals in New York, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Milwaukee and this city. Miss Lent’s concert, to be broadcast at 8:15 o'clock, ‘follows: Adagio (Bach); “The Call of the Plains” (Goldm&ark);. “Fairy Sailing” (Bur- leigh); ‘‘Nussbaum’’ (Schumann-Auer); “Valse” .(Glazounow); Noc- turne in B® Flat (Chopin-Saraste), and Introduction and Rondo Capric- ciose (Saint-Saens).

PERTINENT QUESTIONS RAISED BY DISCUSSION Situation Held Like That in Newspaper Where Editor Passes on Articles. It seems that Ralph M. Easley, of New York, chairman of the executive council of the National Civic Federa- tion, of which Elihu Root is honorary president and Representative Emanuel Celler (Democrat), of Brooklyn, have been having quite a spirited exchange on the subject of radio cénsorship, the echoes of which have reached the Fed- eral Radio Commission. As the radio law now stands, the commission has no power of censorship, but since they are daily besieged . by listenefs who think this or that should not be allowed on the air, and because the question of censorship is apparently of such a pressing nature that Con- gress may see fit to take it up at the next session, the controversy between the’ National Civic Federation executive and the Brooklyn representative is timely and interesting. Apparently it was an expression of Representative Celler in a New. York paper that drew the fire of Chairman Easley, who- wrote to him in part, as follows: “I read with considerable interest your article on the question of censor- ship of the radio. You r a lot of I do not think you answer any of them, nor can you, to my mind, because, when all is said and done, somebody will have to determine what shall go on the radio. There are only so many Tinutes, with sO many thousands of people who think they ought to be heard. Censorship in Newspapers. “Is not this same matter settled every day in the newspaper offices of the country? Every editor does exer- cise a censorship. He is not going to run everything which, in his opinion, would be harmful to the interests of his paper or of his subscribers and turn his columns over to everybody, ‘first come, first served.’ . Pe “Purthermore, whoever does the ra- "aio censoring is going to make a lot of mistakes. It would require infallibility and that quality has not yet. been developed, in this country at least. Nor do I think that Congress can do anything in the premises. It has not yet found out how to shut out offen- sive and idiotic matter from the col- umns of its own publication, the Con- gressional Record. “Now, as to the public having the right to hear both sides of a question, that depends. Frequently there are more than two sides of a question. When you say that Congress ‘prescribed that all political candidates for office should: have equal radio opportunities, does that mean that the Republican and Democratic candidates who will receive nine-tenths of the votes cast shall have no more than the Socialists, Communists, Prohibitionists, Single Taxers and those of cther minorities who, altogether, do not represent 5 per cent of the people? .It goes without saying that that would be absurd and no broadcasting station that I know of follows such a policy—law or no law. Berger Case Discussed. “I do not understand that you are correct in your statement about what happened with respect to Victor Ber- ger-E-do not think it follows that, if any organization arranges for Ramsay MacDonald to speak and he becomes ill, that organization has a right to substitute Victor Berger or anybody else. The audience of WJZ would not be likely to tune in to hear Victor Berger talk on anything; but there was a novelty as well as a value attached to the arrangement to have Ramsay Mac- Donald speak. “Sometime ago, WEAF gave Norman Thomas, former candidate for governor of the State of New York on the So- cialist ticket, an opportunity to speak on the radio in advocacy of a labor party in this country. Now, Mr. Thomas is nothing but a former 6o0- cialist-preacher who knows no more about and is no better equipped to speak for labor than you orl. Besides, the American labor movement, as you and I know it, is, almost to a man, against a labor party. It is only a little handful of Socialists who are advocating it. Yet, this man is allowed to take up the time of a WEAF audience for fifteen or twenty minutes on such a subject. ‘If I had been in charge of the broadcasting at that station, I would have shut him out and, if I thought my clientele wanted to hear anything about a labor party, I would have in- vited William Green or Matthew Woll to make ah address on the subject, Must Select and Reject. © “You say: ‘The broadcaster, however, must, within due bounds, select what shall or shall not go over his micro- ‘phone. But, he must, like every news- paper man, edit and not censor. He should permit the radical, the liberal, | the orthodox, the modernist, the funda- mentalist, the conservative—all to ex- press their viéws. He could and should taboo speakers who are boors or bores.’ There is much in that statement that is sound. Of course, he must ‘select microphone.’ Therefore, he is exercis- ing censorship.

Radio in Summer May Be Improved Even though humid summer weather, particularly just~before thunderstorms, is troublesome for radio reception, still there are some things to be done about it. Engineers of the Radio Corporation of America offer these suggestions for reducing static and other hot-weather interferences: : Shorten the outdoor aerial to 30 or 40 feet or use an indoor aerial of 20 or 30 feet of wire strung around the room; put & small fixed condenser of .0005 mi- cofarad capacity between the antenna and the grout binding posts of ‘the receiver to compensate for reduced wave length of the antenna; try an un- derground antenna by burying a length of No. 14 rubber-covered wire in a trench several feet deep; be satisfied with less volume from the loud speaker; try the loud speaker at various dis- tances from the set; above all,else, see that tybes and batteries are ‘in good condition. London-Cape Town Wireless Is Expected The newly constructed short wave stations having successfully passed their official test, it is expected that the long talked of direct wireless telegraph service between London and Cape Town will soon be a reality. This is the third group of wireless beam stations to be completed for direct communication with the dominions, the beam services with Canada and Australia being al- ready in operation. | RADIO | SUNDAY, AUGUST 21.

RULES ‘MAKES ELECTRICITY SAFE Good Wiring Best Insurance Against Fire; Proper In- sulation Important. CHECK APPLIANCE CORDS Common sense is all that anyone need use in order to keep electricity in its place in the’ home—the safest, most faithful and dependable of ser- vants. Here are ten simple rules that constitute common sense: If a fuse—the electrical safety valve blows, out you are overloading your wiring system or using a defective ap- pliance. The trouble is not corrected by screwing in a larger fuse. Fuses of fifteen-ampere capacity are ordinarily large enough for house circuits. Do not try to install additional wir- ing in. your home unless you are an electrician. Your best insurance against fire is good wiring properly in- stalled Wires must never be tacked to walls or baseboards or hung on nails. If the insulation wears through there is trouble. * Use porcélain, not metal, sockets in bathrooms and in basements so that if a person standing in water or on a damp floor touches one, there is no possibility of shock from a defective device. : Do not handle electrical appliances when any part of your body is touching water piping or other plumbing. Never set electric irons on com- bustible material. Always use the metal stand or rest that is provided. Lamps in clothes closets should never be left burning when the door Only a short time —_———————— oe ee 2 oe is closed. Use an automatic door- switch. Never use irons or toasters to warm beds .im winter. Heating pads are made for the purpose and are abso- lutely safe. Have all appliance cords repaired or replaced when they become worn. You can not depend upon defective cords. If the standard length cords on lamps, heaters and other portable ap- pliances are not long enough, do not clutter up your rooms with extension cords. If they are laid under rugs they soon cause worn streaks to appear in the nap thus quickly ruining the rugs. Laying them out where they can be seén is safer but troublesome. What you need is more wall or baseboard out- lets Utility Revenue Goes Back to Community It is estimated that 90 per cent of the gross revenue of the modern public utility in the United States goes back into the community it serves. More than $8,000,000,000 have been spent in the establishment and development of the electric light and power industry in this country. Nearly $1,000,000,000 will be spent during the present year for extensions and improvements. Since the utility companies spend most of their money for, taxes, wages, supplies and maintenance, it becomes obvious that these companies put money into the pockets of the Ameri- can people. Warmth from a heating device in a room is partially the mental effect of the device upon people nearby. This is often apparent with those using a new kind of electric fireplace logs. They radiate a great deal of real heat from a concealed bar, but they would look positively cold were it not for two small red lamps mounted inside the log, and on which are placed two mechanical fans which revolve in the heat, thus giving the effect of flames. LLL: OE Oe COLE A ELECTRICITY HELPFUL TO TRUE DEMOCRACY Comfort of People Advanced by Wide Service It Establishes. Among the various elements making for true democracy in the United States, none is more potent than the general and increasing use of electric~ ity, declares Paul S. Clapp, managing director of the National Electric Light Association. “Democracy does not consist alone in constitutions and declarations of principle. Democracy is a fact in these United States because of the wide- spread sharing of all our people in the benefits of education in the use of au- tomobiles, telephones, radios and cer- tainly in the common use of electric . light and power,” says Mr. Clapp. “The comfort and release from physi- cal toil made possible by the arrival of electric service at a home is enjoyed not alone by the wealthy few, for this service has become so diffused, so ade- quate, so cheap, that it has already reached 16,000,000 American homes, and through these touches the daily lives of probably 68,000,000 of our peo- ple. This service is an immeasurable contribution to the nation’s well-being. Of all the items on which the home- maker spends her money in meeting the family budget, electricity is the only one which is not above the pre- war level. Less than 1 cent out of every $1 is expended by her for the electric service which provides. such great convenience.” The world’s. largest incandescent lamp is shaded somewhat like an ordl- nary house lamp but is 19 inches long and uses more than thirteen horse- power of electric energy.

ELECTRICITY HELPS WHVES 10 END TOIL OF SUMMER IRONING Wemen Should Sit While Working at Board, Is Advice. FAN DIRECTED AT HOT CLOTHES DECLARED AID | Heavy Pressure, Generally Considered Necessary, Is Held Not Essential. — Eo Ry SUSAN ELLEN DODGE. Without imagination one accept unquestionably the statement that ironing at any time, but partic- | ularly during summer, can become play instead of drudgery. Yet it is entirely possible if one possesses the ability to form new habits easily. This is really a rare quality, for habit holds most of us in an iron-bound grip. However, that need not worry those who, since they must do their work, accomplish can not | possible. The worst and most persistent of all froning habits is to stand up to this | work. I have known women who de- | clare vehemently that it is utterly im- possible for them to iron any other way. They are wrong, of course. Standing up to ironing went out of fashion with the sad iron. Electricity has made sitting down to froning pos- sible. Much of the standing: we did when the sad irons were used was | because we felt that it required more | effort to get up for the frequent trips |to the stove and return than it did | to do the ironing. | The electric iron is connected within reach of its source of heat and one ‘need never leave the ironing board ‘from the time the ironing is begun 'until it is finished. Then why not sit ‘down? Perhaps not on an ordinary ‘chair when the board is on line with ‘one’s chest, but on a high stool with the board exactly the height necessary to enable putting if you must.

There are many im- portant reasons why it should be there. General Electric engineers, in fifteen years of intensive research, found that the top- unit design was most efficient... and most economical. With this arrangement, no heat is gener- ated under therefrigerator. It all rises above. This cuts down current consumption. And the air-cooled coils also play an economical part in the running of the General Electric Refrigerator. The top-unit means no installation problem. Allthe mechanism—with a permanent sup- ply of oil—is enclosed in one hermetically sealed casing. This is merely lowered into the top of the cabinet. There is no plumbing or assembling. There are no belts, pipes, drains or connections to get out of order. You will want to know more about this simple and unusually quiet refrigerator.

RECIPROCAL SERVICES ARE FEATURE OF PLAN Heads of Some of Largest Independent Bodies in U. S. to Attend. Washington is to be headquarters for a new national organization of automo- bile clubs, according to an announce- ment made yesterday. Delegates claimed to represent approximately @ quarter-million automobile owners will meet at the Willard next Thursday for the purpose of forming the Amerti- can Motorists Association for which its organizers claim a new idea in mo- tor-club organization, making the na- tional association subordinate to the local club rather than subordinating the local club to the national organiza- tion. A charter for the new association has already been dbtained tinder the laws of Delaware, giving it the right to operate in all parts of the country. J. Borton Weeks, president of the Keystone Automobile Club of Philadel- phia, the largest individual club in the East, is chairman of the organization committee. Other members are men prominent in automobile-club circles, such as William A. Thibodeau, presi- dent of the A. L. A., Boston, Mass., which dominates the automobile field throughout New England, with a mem- bership of 70,000; Si Mayer, president of the Automobile Club of Illinois; Daniel T. McEnerny, president of the Automo- bile Club of the Bronx, New York City; Charles H. Roth, of the Pittsburgh Mo- tor Club, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. Philip E. Gast, president of the Long Island Automobile Club, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Ray- mond Beck, of the Greater Washington Motor Club, Washington, D. C., and others of equal standing. The commit- tee has. already received applications for membership from the Florida Motor Club, Jacksonville, Fla., and from clubs in Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana and Vir- ginia. All of the clubs now affiliated with the National Motorists Association will also become members of the new national association. Representatives of motor clubs from the East, New England, Middle West and the South, meeting recently at Atlantic City, decided upon the forma- tion of the new organization, which will be formally launched here Thurs- day. The plan, according to J. Borton Weeks, chairman of the organization committee, is that there shall be created a fine feeling of reciprocity and ex- change of courtesies, services and man- agement among the member clubs and that the financial requirements shall be moderate; that these services shall be standardized so that the motorist away from home will receive the same services that he would from his local club. “We believe our plan will be extremely attractive to all automobile clubs which desire to retain their own independence and at the same time benefit by asso- ciation with other strong clubs,” said Mr. Weeks. ‘“In the past it has been necessary for a club to assume heavy financial obligations toward a national organization. All this will be eliminated in the A. M. A.” “We have already prepared a definite program for our national activities,” HOTU UTUNTDEUUUQ044Q0ONUOUUOUDONHNREGGGOOQGQ0EQ00040Q0000000000E0000088000000000EUUEUOE000000 HHH FOOO OEE GOOGOOOOOOOOOOOOGOUUOCHEE TMM TT Tit seeeee tiliit ' . New Chrysler ‘'72” which is having its first showing this week. The new car is larger than previous models and embodies mechanical as well as body improvements. Mr. Weeks said in response to an in- quiry. “There will be no paper clubs in our organization, but every unit will be an active, living force in the motor world, eagerly assailing the many prob- lems which must necessarily arise in a development as speedy and enormous as motoring has become in America today. We will work actively for good roads, a subject that appears to be slowly becoming neglected. There is even talk of discontinuing Federal aid for roads, an idea for which the Na- tional Motorists Association fought and for which the American Motorists Asso- ciation will continue to put forth in- creasing efforts. We will study methods of taxation now placed on motorists. Taxation on such a big national scale requires equally large and powerful na- tional representation in the interest of just taxation, wise legislation, better highways and most efficient service in a cause highly contributory to the hap- piness of over half the American peo- ple. When it is considered that less than 5 per cent of the motorists of the country are organized in motoring clubs, we believe there is a big field ahead for the organization work of the A. Mi. A.” Among the A. M. A. objects, as set forth in the announcement from the newly established headquarters here, are the increase in the highway con- struction programs for the use of the present generation; the solution of traffic problems in centers of popula- tion with uniformity of regulations; uniform certificate of title laws re- Stricting the sale of stolen cars; a new form of touring information made available and uniform for all sections of the country; mechanical first-aid and towing services everywhere in. the United States and southern Canada: extension of safety education of pedes- trians as well as drivers, and opposition to unethical and illegitimate” practices by the trade. Production Increase Reported by Dodge Production of Dodge Brothers’ new four-cylinder line has been increased 25 per cent, according to information received from the factory by Semmes Motor Co., local Dodge Brothers dealer. Shipments of these cars, which have been widely advertised as “The Fastest Four in America,” have been running behind retail sales since July 17, when the new line was formally announced, it is stated, and dealers have neen de- livering cars as fast as received. The present jump in production is the third which Dodge Brothers have made within three weeks. Under the new schedule approximately 1,000 fours A pre-loaded car spring is like an over-inflated tire.

North 8076 AUTO DEALER REGULATES HOURS FOR OALESMEN Neumeyer Puts His Staff on Business Basis; Closes Stations Sunday. SALES EFFECT WATCHED Business hours for automobile sales- rooms have always been just what the individual dealer chose to make them. It has been the custom of the great majority to keep open evenings and at least a part of the day on Sundays and holidays. At different times there have been efforts made in a sort of a spasmodic manner to operate sales departments upon the same regularity of working hours as other mercantile lines with varying success. It has always been felt that there were a certain number of people who were interested in the pur- chas of a motor car that could not con- veniently call to inspect the models on display during the daytime, hence the remaining open evenings to accommo- date this class. There were still more who found it convenient to look the machines of their price class over on Sunday or on a holiday,,and hence the remaining open on these days for the accommodation of this class of buyers. Sales have been made, prospects list- ed and eventually sold evenings, Sun- days and holidays, but it has become questionable in the minds of some whether or not it pays to remain open for this limited trade and whether or not if the place was closed evenings and on days when the ordinary mercantile establbishments are also closed, that these same buyers affld prospects would not have found time to come in and look the displays over. One dealer in Washington opens his place at 8:30 in the morning and closes at 6 in the evening and remains closed all day Sundays and holidays. It is the Neumeyer Motor Co., and E. H. Neu- meyer, president of the company, when he announced to his organization that this was to be his policy in the future, stated that years ago it was believed that service statitons must remain open all hours of the day and evening, but now their hours have been regulated, and those who want service arrange to have it done during the business hours. “Salesmen are not up to maximum HU UN smooth roads.

More Powerful Motor. DESIGN OF RADIATOR AND LENGTH CHANGED Motor Fitted With Aluminum Alloy Pistons, With Added Rings. Today the initial showing of the new Chrysler “72” model will be held, The principal feature of the new car is an entirely new, larger and more powerful motor mounted in rubber both front and rear. It is being furnished in seven body styles, roadster, two-passen- ger coupe, four-passenger coupe, close coupled sedan, royal sedan and con- vertible coupe. In appearance the new car is longer, and the added length has opened the way for space engineers to increase the roominess of the bodies. A new radiator design contributes to the unusual beauty of the new “72.” New color harmonies have been devised for each type of body by Chrysler’s color experts. Genuine mohair uphol- stery is used in trimming the closed cars, high quality leather in the open types. Advance trials of the road qualities of the new “72” reveal performance of the highest order. The new engine, which has 3%-inch bore and 65-inch stroke, gives an increase of fully 10 per cent in driving torque, puts at the driver’s command 72 and more miles per hour, with remarkable acceleration and flexibility of performance. The pis- ton displacement is 248.9 cubic inches, compared with 218.59 cubic inches of its predecessor, the “70.” As has always ‘been the case with Chrysler six-cylinder cars, the “72” has a 7-bearing crankshaft machined over its entire surface and balanced statical- ly and dynamically fitted with shim- less, interchangeable bearings, Valves have been increased in size and have a clear diameter of 19-16 inches at the openings instead of 17-16 inches, as formerly. The valves are placed as usual, equally distant from the cen- ters of the combustion chambers, which is one of the explanations of the even power torque in Chrysler motors, mean- ing more steady pull at low speeds, rapid acceleration on high-gear and smooth high-speed ability. The new motor is fitted with alumi- num alloy pistons with invar struts, one of the numerous contributions of these engineers to the automobile indus- try. The pistons are longer than be- fore and have an exclusive feature in two added rings, making a total of five rings on each piston, which protect still further against the possibility of compression leaks. One of the interesting innovations found is a crankcase ventilating sys- tem. Air is taken in at the front end of the engine through an air-cleaner similar to that in the carburetor, and is whirled around in the crankcas@, due to the rotation of the shaft. At the rear left of the crankcase is a cored hole in the shape of an inverted “L,” to the horizontal outlet of which a pipe is. attached, leading downward and backward. The forward motion of the car creates suction in this pipe and causes free circulation of filtered air in the crankcase, removing harmful gases and assisting the oil filter in puri- fying the oil. _—— aaalitaes eis ER A dns CASTER EFFEGT 19 HELD BASIE CAUSE OF SHIMMY Condition Making for Easy Steering Declared Re- sponsible for Action. REMEDIES ARE NOTED “Cars of some makes are “practically free from shimmyihg, although they are equipped with balloon tires the Same as other cars that are noted for shimmying; therefore it would seem that there must be something in the mechanical construction of certain cars that makes them more subject to shimmy than cars of other makes. My experience in eliminating shimmy would bear out this theory in every case,” says John F. Duby, of Boston, in the August issue of the Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers, “There are several contributing fac- tors that will aggravate the condition of shimmy, but without this basic cause I have not found a single case that will develop a shimniy and con- tinue to shimmy for any appreciable time. “The basic cause of what we call a real shimmying condition is excessive caster effect. This caster effect is a condition that is desirable to make steering easy, but even a small amount of the caster effect will cause shimmy if all the other conditions are favorable to shimmying. Therefore it is impor- tant to adjust all of the contributing factors to somewhere near the ideal conditions so that we may have a lit- tle caster effect to facilitate steering. “Balloon tires and front-wheel brakes have made it necessary to main- tain a greater degree of accuracy in the setting of the axle, and to do this we must have the proper means of ascer- taining these settings.

Therefore, if an axle has 5 de- grees of tilt and wedges are put in to bring it down to 3% degrees, it is very likely to make the car shimmy worse. Another condition that must be avoid- ed is the possibility of insufficient tilt, or of slanting the axle and pivote in the wrong direction, as this would cause what is called buckling under, which is even more dangerous than shimmy.” No Punctures! i‘ No Delays!

1. $. URGED TO HELE GEAMANS FOR GOOD OF MOTORS BUSINESS Bright Future for American Products Is Seen by D. P. Miller. QUANTITY PRODUCTION AIM OF OTHER NATIONS Low-Priced Cars Are Now Found in England, France and Italy. While the motor car is etill a sign of wealth in Germany and the present de- mand is for medium rather than low- iced cars, Douglas P. Miller, for the ast three years United States assistant commercial attache at Berlin sees a very favorable future for American automo- tive products in the German field. He advises the American trade to work closely with the German trade, to help the German motorist and to take a lively interest in the German “good roads” movement. “In the other large European coun- tries—Great Britain, France and Italy,” Miller says: “Local manufacturers have developed low-priced cars and quan- tity production, giving the American producer a run for his money. Citroen, in France, the Fiat in Italy and the Morris car in Britain have no German duplicate. No competition like that is present or looming up. “The German concern making the largest output is the Opel and they are now giving less attention to their small car; and more and more thought to a medium-sized, higher-priced car with a 10-h. p. (German standard) rating (equal to a 40-h.p. U.S. rating). Cooperation Is Lacking. “The German companies are not in a strong position because so far, they have not been able to get together. Down to the simiplest possible units, each manufacturer seems determined to produce his complete car; and there is a lack of those subsidiary industries upon which American manufacturers can call, at any time, “The visitor to a German auto factory sees workers busy making screws, bolts, fittings of all sorts, to such an extent that he seems to look around in vain for those who are making motor cars. A leading German manufacturer told me his gear-box had cost him more than his motor. That didn’t mean that his motor was inexpensive. “The gear-box had cost a fortune, Not being able to buy gears, they went ahead to make them. As they could not get gear-cutting machinery, they set to work and made the gear-cutting machinery. And they had to sink money and time in three trial designs before they got one that would work. That was how that German auto man- ufacturer sank his money in his gear- box. “Germany is a country in which the auto is still regarded as a luxury and it is taxed as a luxury. As yet, the mo- torist as a class has not been able to make his influence felt.

As the successor of the bicycle the automobile had a hard time making a place for itself in its early days. People viewed it as a p@ssing fad, a toy of the wealthy, and predicted that as soon as they tired of the new play- thing it would. be tossed aside. An- other argument that was brought up against it was the fact that as a mobile piece of machinery it was unsafe to operate due to the fact that only-those familiar with mechanics would be able to keep it going. The pioneer motor-car manufacturers as well as dealers had a twofold resist- ance to overcome, first that of the idea of a passing fancy, and second the in- ability of the general public to operate it with safety and satisfaction. In overcoming the first one, the idea of the motor car being a toy of those who could afford to indulge in their hobby, many were the means employed to prove to the buying public that here was a piece of machinery designed to become individual transportation. Among the most popular means em- ployed were the so-called endurance runs. They were rightly named, for in every sense of the word they were just what their names implied. Under the auspices of some local organization or under the guidance of the national mo- toring body these runs were promoted. Their routes were from a few hundred miles to couple of thousand of milés in length and led over all kinds of roads, some of which today would be considered impassible. They were all that were to be had in the way of roads in those days, the long, smooth stretches of concrete with the easy grades on the hills being but a dream now realized. A few miles of good sand gravel road here and there with perhaps an occasional stretch of cobblestones in approaching or leaving S: niet ge : ; be} v4 saat a ie as j ve BARRY-PATE 1218 Connecticut A R. L. TAYLOR 1101 King Street, some city was the extent of the good roads. ‘ Entrants were divided into price classes and drivers were the best that money could hire. Cars were carefully selected from stock and then put in the shop to be checked over to make doubly sure that every part was in perfect shape. Under the guidance of competent officials these automobiles were started out over this predetermined route at intervals of two minutes. In addition to the driver each entra? was required to have with him an offi- cial observer who had been selected by some competitor in the event. It was the duty of these observers, who were changed at every stop from car to car, to keep accurate check of every me- chanical repair and replenishment of oil, water or gas that was made outside of the official controls. These controls were known as the noon and night stops and the average day’s run was in the neighborhood of 200 miles. For every adjustmnet or repair made there was a schedule of penalties im- posed. Many were the schemes resorted to to get cars into controls without having to take on additional gas, oil or water. Needless to say the endurance runs did much: to prove the stability of the motor car and its placé as a means of individual transportation. Succeeding the endurance runs were the hill climbs and the fuel economy tests. All of these things had an added value to the manufacturer. They showed him the weak points in his own and his competitors’ products and enabled him to build better automo- biles. Once the motor car had become popular .and road conditions had be- come better the owners started to have endurance runs of their own. It be- came quite the thing for them to start out and see how many miles they could cover in the course of a day, much of it at the cost of personal dis- comfort. They were satisfied, however, because it gave them a’chance to boast to their friends about what good distance drivers they were. This phase of motoring now has given way to more safe and sane use of the motor car. During the week it is used in business as well as for pleasure of the entire family in the evening and on holida Such’ trips as are made through the country are made in a more leisurely Manner with no thought of seeing how many miles can be covered in a given length of time. The owners Know that it is no longer a question of the ability of the automobile but rather the endurance of the driver. Only 13,000 Living In City of London London, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—The retire- ment of Miss Kemm, who was for 80 years registrar of births and deaths, brought out the fact that the popula- tion of the city of London has de- creased from 50,000 when she took over her job to 13,000 now.

No other agency in the history of this country has tested the durability of our dollar bills and bank notes so thor- oughly as has our gigantic motoring business. The 24,000,000 owners of pas- senger cars and commercial vehicles, the innumerable service stations, ga- rages, factories and other distributors exposed our paper money to such rough treatment that your Uncle Samuel has had to substitute new and stronger styles of paper currency for the old. Grease, oil, dust, dirt and repeated foldings cause paper money to wear out prematurely. Before the advent and great popularity of the motor car, our ordinary legal’ tender made of paper would stand 12 te 24 months of active circulation before it failed and had to be returned to Washington for redemp- tion. Paper Shows Decline. When gasoline power conveyances be- gan to speckle our highways from ocean to ocean, the wearing qualities of our paper currency went into a serious de- cline. The stage .was finally reached where the most popular denominations of paper bills were reduced to rags and tatters after six to seven months’ serv- ice. The Treasury Department and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing were taxed to capacity in replacing some 1,200 tons of paper currency equivalent to approximately $4,000,000,000 annu- ally. Our mythical Uficle Sam tossed aside his six-quart beaver and scratched his head in perplexity. The ever-mounting demand for more paper currency in- dicated that our national money factory would have to double equipment, em- ployes and output to keep pace with the future requirements of the multi- billionaire automobile business. Eventually, the United States Treas- ury asked the Bureau of Standards for scientific assistance in solving the paper money riddles. They devised laboratory methods of subjecting the currency paper to simulated wear and tear while the microscopes of science were focused on the activities. Qualjty Is Improved. Paper technologists in the course of time produced “heavy duty” paper adapted to withstand unusually severe TREASURY PLINS| Se NOW BEING SHOWN : Latest Chandler Royal Six Sedan, which not only embodies mechanical improvements but body refine- ments as well. usage. Like the double-kneed and two- seated knickerbockers of a growing boy this reinforced paper was made to with- stand extra hard knocks. The amount of “beating” which the paper fibers un- derwent in manufacture was curtailed as this was found to be one weak spot in the Government specifications of paper currency. The original currency paper broke through the creases when it was ex- posed to 2,000 successive foldings in an automatic appliance rigged up for that purpose. The new “armored” paper resisted 6,000 such foldings be- fore it failed. Science experimented until it found satisfactory measurers and methods of coating the greenbacks and yellowbacks with certain chemicals to protect them against injury from grease and oil. Spraying the currency paper with formaldehyde directly after it was removed from the glue bath dur- ing its manufacture produced a dirt- resistive glaze. This treated paper re- sisted artificial “wearing tests” three times longer than untreated paper. Smaller Bills Planned. Beginning about. July 1, 1928, the Treasury Department will circulate paper money which will be one-third smaller than the bills and bank notes now in use. These smaller greenbacks will be easier to handle and will last much longer because they can be car- ried in the average wallet or pocket- book without folding or creasing. They will be made of the strongest currency paper which can be manufactured. This paper will be fortified in every way known to science against deterioration from handling by greasy, oil-smeared hands. Our paper money of the future will be designed and made to satisfy the requirements of the automotive indus- try. These vital reforms in paper currency production have come about principally because American money now goes mo- toring daily in vast volume. Gentle- manly dressed silver certificates and greenbacks are now able to resist the effects of continuous circulation for at least nine months. Just to illustrate how the average citizen carries much more cash that he did during “grand- father’s time,” pray scan what follows. Treasury reports show that our use of paper currency is three times greater than in 1910 and six times more than 25 years ago. Motor tourists who travel the leading State and national thor- oughfares “pay as they go” and carry paper money as “ready cash.” “Stay-at- home” drivers carry comfortable re- serves of paper money for there are always gas, oil ahd accessories to buy, essential repairs to pay for and possible traffic fines to settle in emergencies. —George H.

Jose Declares. ‘CALED TRAFFIC MENACE Parking on the highway to make a /minor repair to the. car-6r to view an especially interesting bit of scenery along one’s route is a dangerous and a discomforting practice. Every mo- torist is conscious of the danger and discomfort involved when he is the victim of this driving vagary but, ac- cording to State highway officials, the same driver often is guilty of the of- fense himself, “As in the case of headlights that glare, it 1s wrong when tle other fel- low does it, but quite all right when we do it ourselves,” says Rudolph Jose, ; ee of the Washington Cadillac Oo. “We should get a right perspective on this problem of traffic. When a + ne ee motorist parks on the highway, he simply is blocking fast moving traffic and the hazards of such a policy are too obvious to need reiteration. Drivers coming from behind and those ap- proaching from the opposit® direction are confused. At high speeds its re- quires a long distance to stop a car in safety, and frequently we hear of fatal accidents traceable to the fact that a car parked on the highway robbed another of the space needed to come to a halt. Against Law in States. “Many States make provision against motorists stopping on grades or on curves. This fact should contain the lesson that even the straight-away must be left clear wherever possible. “Pennsylvania, among other States, has a law required that at least two wheels of the car be pulled off the highway when parking. To make this possible, State roads are provided with @ parking space of five feet on each side. This step has been taken at considerable expense, particularly in the mountain areas, where this ten feet of parking space may represent a very costity fill. “But State highway officials have realized that the expense is justified in the interests of safety. Motorists would do well to take advantage of the mute warning thus issued against a danger that has been revealed to them many, many times in their own driving.” HYDE PARK DEBATES BRING WITTY WORDS Speakers and Police as Well Make Keen Retorts at “Soap Boxes.” London, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—The “free- for-all” portion of Hyde Park is often the scene of much merriment. It is here that speakers advocating various political, religious and other causes mount their “soap boxes” and address such members of the public as care to listen to them. . | “Madam, do keep quiet!” said a | speaker at a patriotic meeting to a per- | sistent Red sister, who frequently in- terrupted his discourse. “Remember you are not at home now.” At a similar gathering one com- munist in the.audience so frequently abused and interrupted the orator that at length a burly policeman, much to the delight.of the onlookers, bustled him out of the crowd. “I was born in this country,” he protested. “I dare say you was,” said a nearby workman, “but if a cat has kittens in the oven they ain’t biscuits.” Announcing the Illustrious WER public, we are this season offering you the fruits of our unflagging efforts to build finer and better cars and to give you, the buyer, greater quality and value.

Paris, Aug. 20 (A.P.).—Sentimental juries and French sympathy with “crimes of passion” are creating quite a stir among those who think a few executions and plenty of long prison terms would make life safer. It is even suggested that murder cases be taken from juries and tried by judges who generally pay more atten- tion to the law and the evidence than they do to the anguished heart-throbs that move many. J. H. Rosny, novelist, is among thos who feel French criminal jurisprudence has about broken down. Juries, says Rosny, citing recent instances, are more lenient toward those who kill than those who wound. He gives it as his observation that assault is more severely punished than murder, @n the average.

Gen. W. C. Neville, Commanding Gen- eral of the Marine Barracks at Quantico. By HARRY HITES ODAY is the big day the U. S&S. Boy Scouts at Quantico. at Camp Neville, Marine Corps camp for Some time this afternoon the 50 “or more Washington Scouts who have been, according to their own expressions, “having the time of their lives’’ at the Marine camp, will line up for the last time for inspection and Maj. Gen. W. C. Neville, U.S. M. C., commanding general of the Marine Barracks at Quantico, will present the medals which have been earned by the scouts for profi- ciency in various lines during their two weeks’ encampment. Tomorrow morning the Washington boys will take the boat for home, leaving camp about 8 o’clock, arriving at the Navy Yard here about 10:30 o’clock. Returning, the boat will convey the East Lansdowne troop of scouts, of East Lansdowne, Pa., back to Camp Neville, which will remain open until a week from tomorrow. The outgrowth of an idea advanced by Capt. Joseph J. Staley, U. S. M. C. Reserve, but on active duty with the reserve section of the Marines, the first Boy Scout camp was Lining up for chow. Boys at Camp Neville are prompt to respond to “mess call.” Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps; Maj. Gen. Cole, former commanding general of the Marine Barracks at Quantico, and of Maj. Gen. W. C. Neville, now in command at Quantico, the scout camp at Quantico has been made one of the finest in the world, and the boys have received the care and training of an expert squad of Marines, un- der command of Capt. Staley, who has re- mained in personal charge of the camp for the entire two weeks. Located in a shady grove adjacent to the aviation field at Quantico, the camp looks out on the broad Potomac, offering one of the most beautiful views to be found in this entire section. Ideally located for camping purposes, the camp is also adjacent to a fine beach where, under the guardianship of Marines trained in life-saving, the boys are allowed to swim each day. * 7 * © VERYTHING about the camp with the E exception of the actual clothing worn by the boys is furnished by the Marine Corps. The tents are the regulation type, with slat floors and equipped with folding cots.

The camp this year was not started until late, and as a consequence the only outfits to have the ad- vantages furnished by the Marines were the group of about 50 from Washington and the East Lansdowne troop.

Sergeant William Halsey, another old- timer with young ideas, is directly in charge of the camp. The sergeant’s chief »weakness is a liking for boys and the scouts were not long taking advantage of this fact. Sergeant Halsey estimates that during the’two weeks’ encampment he has answered 79,283 ques- tions by actual count. | In addition to this one duty, the sergeant has maintained dis- cipline in the camp, no small job in itself. - . +. * IGNALING has been taught by Private -G.

From reveille at 6 o’clock in the morning until taps at 10 o’clock at night, there has been something to do every hour. The proficiency attained by the boys as a drum and bugle corps has inspired scout leaders with the idea of developing a scout drum and bugle corps for the District, to consist of 100° or more boys, provided the equipment could be obtained. , * ” * OL.

I think that the Boy Scout organization owes a lasting debt of gratitude to the United States Marine Corps for this camp and I hope to see it con- tinued and to grow from year to year.” Col. Mattice is a regular scout himself. The day the writer visited the camp, the colonel ate with the officers mess, but when the time came to wash up the dishes (the regular Marine field kit) the colonel stepped over to the tubs and washed his kit like a profes- sional. Plans for a continuation of the scout camp3 from year to year are under contemplation, Capt. Staley told the writer. He explained that the encampment of Marine reserves this year had delayed the opening of the camp to some extent and that it was too late to get as many boys as they had planned to enter- tain. With the presentation of medals today the camp of the Washington scouts will officially close. : Because this is the last day of the camp and because of the proximity of Quantico to Washington, a number of parents are ex- pected to be on hand to see their boys out through the final drill and the fortunate ones decorated.

NSEPARABLE from the history of Mont- gomery County and the State of Mary- land is the story of the Rockville Fair, which this year will be staged at the Fair Grounds in Rockville, Md., starting Tuesday and lasting until Friday night. Organized in 1846, the Agriculture Soci- ety of Montgomery County is one of the ofdest institutions of its kind in the coun- try. The society’s first fair or agricultural exhibition, as it was called in those days, was held in September of the first year of its existence. Written in a quaint, old-fashioned hand, the records of that first meeting are the first chapter in the history of the agricul- tural development of the county. The first president, John Park Custis Peter, was one of the first agriculturists to realize that the soil must be given an occasional rest from toil. In his talks to members of the society he strongly urged that they follow his advice, warning them that neglect to do so would mean the gradual devitalization of the soil. . President Peter died a comparatively young man. The minutes of the society record that organization’s grief at the loss of its first chief and its tender tribute to his mem- ory. A tribute that is preserved in the archives of the Peter family today. $o deeply interested was John Park Custis Peter in the society that he enrolled his in- fant sons as members of the organization. tee custom of enrolling children was ex- plained by one Thomas Blayden, of Wash- ington, in a letter to George W. Dawson, an _ officer of the society. Mr. Blayden had at- — ~ténded the fair of that year and been de- - Wghted with what he had seen. - He writes: iI am sorry that I did not see you before Itleft the fair grounds, as I wished to pro- -° pose two new members to your society. I os will, however, now give them to you—being 4 my own and my son, Stillman Blayden. He '. Was too young to be with me at your fair >. -and will probably be for several of your com- . .img ones.

Mr, Farquhar kept his diary for more than 50 years, and annually records his pleasure in the fair. A neighbor of Mr. Farquhar’s, Mr. Asa Stabler, of Sandy Spring; now over 90. years of age, claims the distinction of having attended every exhibition im the history of the society. Both Mr. Farquhar and Mr, Stabler served as officers of the organiza- tion. The former was president, 1884-85. From his diary, it: would seem that Mr. Far+ quhar did much of his courting at the fair and after his marriage Mrs. Farquhar not only exhibited certain of her household just prior to the Civil. War..~The society itself ‘was torn by fraternal strife. In the : minutes of a Cad, held in July, 1856, meeting was held five years later in May of - 1865. - * ~ * ' is not on record whether or not Stillman ‘Blayden, an infant in 1848, became a ~ . ‘* Me! er. : : © During the first five or six years of its his- the “woodlot adjoining the 1olie Ch .’ \The offer was thank- accepted and society decided to in- ’ . cle e the grounds with *‘planks 6 feet high”’ harge The sum of 12% . , + > are Bint 3.7 - 4 ba oars a“ ‘ tee ” Ye ae ‘ : =] or wrt ey ats manufactures but carried off prize after prize.

In gratitude for his labors in preserving peace between the warring fractions of the society Mr. Bradley was retained as president for a number of successive terms. It was only at his own request that he was finally retired. At the first meeting of the society after the five-year intermission the president, Mr. Bradley, instructed the secretary, Maj.

The Story So Far. In preceding installments Tracy Richardson told of his thrilling experiences during the Orozco Revolution in Mexico, when he fought first as a rebel and then with the Federal forces. All throughout his Mexican campaigns Richardson and Pancho Villa fought on opposite sides—the lat- ter hated the American and posted a reward of $10,000 on his head. In 1914 when the Americans landed at Vera Cruz, hostilities were terminated and Richardson looked elsewhere for excitement. In forthcoming chap- ters he is going to tell how he broke into the soldier of fortune business by free lance fighting in Nicara- gua and Honduras. PART SIX. Nicking the ! NW 1919 when I was just 21 and had I finished up a job as commissary agent for a Southern pipe line oil company, they paid me off with $2,000. I was nigger rich; no bank account for little Tracy. Il bought a money belt and made the bank hand it all over in gold. Next followed an interview Grimer, a labor agent with the company I worked for. It developed that he had just cashed in, too, and so both of us, drawn by the lure of what might lie ‘‘over the hil,” decided to see a bit of the world. Any far away place would have done as well as any other but for some reason Louis and I headed for New Orleans. He and I had been pals all through that oil job. Louis was a big dependable husky, hailed from St. Louis, and was a prince, We loafed around New Orleags for a while and then late one afternoon when we were sit- ting in the palm garden of a little French bar, both of us seemed to hit on the same idea at once. “N. O’s a good enough town, Louis,” 1 said, ‘but while we've got the chance I was thinking we might head for foreign parts.” “Where, for instance?” he countered. “Well, what’s the matter with Nicaragua?” I answered, “I hear it’s a fine place. Lots of bananas, lots of wine, and excitement. If we don’t like it we can always try some- where else.’’ “Say!’’ shouted Louis, banging his big paw down on the table and shimmying the glasses, ‘I went down to the docks this morning and now I remember I heard some Natives in Nicaragua, with Louis some soldiers talk about a boat sailing for Bluefields, Nic- aragua, in the morning. That, and. your talk, gives me a hunch. Let’s take that boat and see what happens!”’ A Summons From Uncle Sam. The next morning the Banana Queen, a dilapidated little second-hand fruit boat, swung out from New Orleans and pointed in the general direction of Bluefields. We were on it. The voyage was pleasant though quiet. Time passed quickly and we didn’t take much notice of matters in general until the ship dropped anchor in the harbor at Cape Gracias a Dios, when things grew in- teresting. While we were unloading freight clambered aboard telling us that the boat they just came from was a Federal gunboat whose hull had been rein- forced with concrete. Their craft was evi- dently the sole pride and joy of the Nicara- guan navy. Even if no one else was, the Nicaraguans were very much impressed with it The soldiers didn’t cramp our style in any way; but looked the Banana Queen over to see if we carried arms. By this time Louis and I came to life and began to take enough interest in things to ask a few questions. We soon found out that we had stuck our noses right smack into a merry little revo- lution. Three chaps we had met on the boat told us confidentially that they were going to sign up and do some fighting. Jimmy Woods was one of them. He spoke Spanish like a_ bull fighter, explaining that he learned it when he was Military Governor of Mindanao, P. I. Rube Elliott was a for- mer railroad man who had just had a finan- cial wreck and was’ out for a quick recoup of the Elliott quondam fortune. The other one of the trio was a strange gent known only as Howard. He was an Englishman and confided, when properly stimulated, that he was heir to a British title. He had been punching cows on a Texas ranch, came to New Orleans with a cattle shipment, got pretty well oiled on a spree, and the first thing he remembered found himself on the Banana Queen. How- ard told us that he was. rather glad war was raging in Nicaragua, as he would get a chance to see how the blooming affairs were regulated. He also added that if prop- erly approached he might be persuaded to divulge a little of his advice on military mat- ters, gleaned during the Boer War. Revolution was the only topic discussed and we listened to weird tales dealing with the battle of Bluefields and the famous Bluffs. We were told that while Bluefields was in the revolutionists’ hands, the Bluffs, which we had to pass and which dominated the port entrance, were held by federals, who might take us all off and shoot us on the spot. Elliott, Woods and Howard urged us to join them, but we didn’t know at first. We ’ y f « 74, , f % am j re | . i “« d BALL STAR lost his trusty left arm when he was a small boy, so he can’t accomplish quite all he would like to on the athletie fleld. Considering his physical disability, how- ever, Harold is doing right well by Wilming- ton High School, of which he is the most popular pupil. In track sports he is easily the ablest boy in school. Last fall he made an enviable record in football. During the winter he starred on the hockey team. It is in baseball, however, that Harold really shines. During the season just close? he came pretty near being the Wilmington High School club. He pitched nine games, and won exactly that number. He fielded his position like an Urban Shocker. And he hit for the very respectable average of .556. In case the reader doesn’t know, .550 is batting, against any kind of opposition. What Hal’s average would be if he had two hands with which to grasp a club, we leave it to the compilers of percentage to puzzle out. | Young Waterman’s amazing performances during the early sum- mer season have the baseball experts of his particular neck of the woods somewhat H » WATERMAN of Wilmington, Mass., baffled. The lad says he intends to remain in baseball, and take it up professionally when he leaves school. He expects to land in the ‘big leagues some day. Of course, it is against all precedent and all sense, but there has to be a first time for everything, and Harold may be the pioneer one-armed wonder of the ‘‘majors” yet. Mr. McGraw, of the New York Giants, and other managers who'*would be tickled pink if their two fisted athletes could bat within 100 points of the one-armed marvel from Wil- mington, ought to be interested, anyway.

They are here shown going up the river in a native “Pit-Pan,” hadn’t started out to fight anybody's war. We secretly wished we had taken a ship for some quieter country. When we got to the Bluffs, however, we found that the federals had no intention of interfering with us, further than to see that we brought no firearms to the enemy. We were landed in barges and carried to the customhouse, where our baggage was left to be inspected and delivered later. Our next stop was the hotel El Tropical. Signing Up With the General. Louis and I hadn’t finished getting cleaned up when word was brought:to us that the American consul wanted to see us pronto at the consulate. We felt like breaking out the American flag and singing the “Star- Spangled Banner.’’ Wasn't the consul’s invi- tation a proof that here was good old Uncle Sam looking after his own? On the. way to the consulate we were joined by Woods, Elliott and the Englishman, who were bound for the same place. We all breezed into the building together. A withered, sawed-off man crouched be- hind an enormous desk and waited for us to file up to where he sat. ‘‘Listen, bums,’’ the consul roared. “‘You’re a nice gang of hoboes, coming here to a peaceable country just to shoot up a bunch of people you never heard of before. None of you have any business here except to kill everybody in sight for what money there is in it. You’re a lot of tropical gunmen— every one of you. Now, mark my words— { forbid all you hired assassins in the name of the United States Government from sit- ting anywhere else but on the sidelines dur- ing this revolution.” Woods, Elliott and Howard just slouched there and smiled, but Louis and I got sore. Grimer was standing right next to the con- sul and, without a word of warning, reached over the desk, grabbed him by the collar and hauled about 100 pounds of astonished consul right across the desk. Then Grimegr shook him like a rat. “Now listen to me, bozo,’’ barked Louis, “I don’t let the President of the United States talk to me like that, let alone any wart of a banana ambassador. Tracy and I are parked here as peaceful sightseers. If any- body like you wants to cramp our Style on account of this dinky government, I’m damned if we don’t join the rebels just to take a few of your friends apart and see what makes the wheels go round.” Then the consul did considerable back- watering. "He hemmed, hawed, and abjectly explained that he was only doing his duty as he saw it and trying to prevent Ameri- cans from butting in on a family fight. We didn’t answer him at all; as soon as he finished all five of us piled out for the hotel. Back at our headquarters we found the whole place alive. with war talk. It was exciting enough to set a couple of green kids crazy. Saturday and Sunday Louis and I sat around listening to all kinds of fantastic yarns dealing with the lure of a Nicaraguan revolution, so were about ripe for the big decision. On Monday morning our desire to fight was sharpened by learning that some sawdust-headed native, instead of sending our luggage to the hotel, had put it on an outward bound steamer that sailed the day before. Well, there we were loafing around .right in the middle of a war with only our money belts and the clothes we had on our backs. We didn’t even have any weapons, since our pistols had been left in the baggage. Grimer and I talked it over in a few minutes and decided to sign up for some action. We went to Gen. Juan Estrada, head of fie revolution against President Zelaya, and of- fered to join the cause of liberty, justice and everything else that went along with it. Estrada wasn’t over-enthusiastic, but told us he was sending a column the next day up to the fighting line in the interior, and added that we could go with it to join the rest of the Americans fighting under Gen. Gabe Conrad. . Midnight Machete Marauding. The next day we embarked on barges and started up the Mico River to Rama where all hands were shifted to trick canoes. It was a bizarre trip for boys just fresh from the States. The canoes, nicknamed pitpans, were simply dugouts hacked from 60 feet long mahogany logs. Each log made one canoe and was manned by eleven Mosquito Indians. In addition to a heavy cargo of ammunition, food and whatnot every canoe carried seven or eight passengers sitting shakily on top of all the cargo. Back in Bluefields I had heard talk about the rainy season but thought the yarn spin- ners were kidding. Now I knew they weren’t. We sat in the rain all day, ate in the rain, smoked in the rain and slept in the rain. For nineteen solid days it poured. Nineteen days of wearisome travel broken by only one - amusing incident.

The: natives were elated over my kill and prepared for an elaborate’ breakfast of boiled dog. They cooked him in a pot and all hands“were in- vited to partake of the feast, so I sampled a little, very little at first. Strange to say, it tasted a lot better than most of the meat we were getting. That, I believe was the original Latin-American hot dog. On the twentieth day we finally approach- ed the camp of Gen. Mena, who was be- sieging the town of Acoyapa. After a talk with him he decided to send our party that night over to the other side of the town where Gabe Conrad was located... That. even- ing, as soon. as it was dark, we started out with a‘guide for Conrad’s outfit. Before we started we were instructed to keep in single file and keep quiet, as we had to skirt the enemy’s line in several places. Guides were, sent with us, and they announced that we only had a two-hour walk. It was pitch dark, so we, kept within touching distance with natives. scattered through the party, and at the head and rear. After mooching along silently for about four hours I. had a sneaky feeling that all was not well along the Rialto... — Howard, the Englishman, was .right. in front of me and whispered he. hadn’t seen ihe man in front of him for an hour. and didn’t know whether he was headed right or aot. We told the native who brought up the réar and then held a consultation. There were three of us Americans, including Woods, Howard and two natives... While we were huddling another’ ‘native sauntered over. No sooner had he approached, . how- ever, than one of our natives whipped up his machete and split the" hewcomer's head open. Sam Dreben ‘Appears. ‘On looking close we saw he was.a federal in. uniform. A careful | survey showed we were nearly'in the ‘center of enemy outposts, so everybody nearly. broke:his neck making a quiet but efficient getaway. In an hour we ran into a neutral native. The machete killer prodded him in the ribs with his blade and ordered him to show us a trail to the ‘“‘Machoes,”” meaning mule in Spanish and ap- plied to Americans because Walker’s men ate mules while marauding in Nicaragua almost a hundred years before. We walked_along for fifteen minutes be- hind our native who rested his knife lightly against the back of the new. guide. Sud- denly the alleged neutral yelled and made a break for-freedom. At his shriek our guide quickly lunged forward, driving the machete through the other’s body. We must have been right near the enemy, because the ex- citement started-rifles popping: all around. Our machete man started to run back the way We came, but we saw to it that he didn’t get far away. In a few minutes the brush was quieter, although we could still hear random shots where he had been. We crashed at random through the undergrowth a little farther and then decided to wait for daylight and make a. break for the nearest | revolutionary camp. It was then about 2 a. m., so we crawled into a thicket and went to sleep: The next thing I remembered I was awakened by the native guide, who warned us all to ake it snappy if we didn’t want to de orate a morgue. It only took a” few seconds for everybody to. realize we had awaken in the middle of a battlefield, and to make it more embarrassing, right while a brisk fight was | in progress.

Dur- ing a lull in the firing we crept up the gully, protected pretty well by big boulders, but able to hear the swoosh of an enemy bullet oceasionally. We were welcomed by Gen. Conrad, Sam Dreben and a dozen Swedes and Germans, who, outside of the natives, com- prised his fighting force. The rest of our Own gang was there, too, having made the trip in safety after losing us the night be- fore. Everybody found Conrad to be a splendid chap. The friendship started that morning in the Nicaraguan hills lasts to this day. 1 have described. Sam Dreben at length else- where in these articles, so most of my read- ers. are. familiar with him. Even when I first met him, though, Sam impressed me with his devil-may-care disposition, which carried the subtle suggestion that he paid a lot more attention to detail than people might suppose. In other words, he looked like a good man to tie to in a pinch—and he was. The Cigar Swallowing Act. Both Conrad and Dreben had had previous training as soldiers. Conrad in the U. S. Cavalry and the Boer War, and Dreben with the U. S. Infantry all over the world. Other Americans in camp were splendid specimens of the hard boiled soldier of fortune breed. There was Pat, an Irisher eye; he could see farther at long range than the. rest of us could with glasses and Tex Woodward, a lanky Texan, silent and self- contained, but who could make Annie Oak- ley look. like Ben Turpin firing a squirt gun. } The rest.of the outfit consisted of Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans, driftwood from off the. Panama beach. They were all wild and- irresponsible, not afraid of anything ih the world but they had to be led and held with an iron fist. Gabe Conrad was the man to do it. . Gen. Conrad and his force had been wiih Gen. Mena for some time surrounding the town of Acoyapa but the fight which drove us up to the camp only lasted a few hours. Several peaceful days followed during which time I took a short but effective course on the Colt machine ‘guns so that pretty soon I was able to mount and dismount them, besides learning how to make them go. Four days after we hit the camp word came in that the enemy had been slipping away from Acoyapa during the lull, so there were none left in town. We all went down to inves- tigate, found the report true, and captured the place. Our small detachment was taken over. by Gen. Monchado and dispatched to- ward Alta Granda, a high, large plateau where the federals had fled, ‘After a couple of days trudging throug) swamps during which time we couldn’t even mount our mules, we struck the base of the plateau but couldn’t find a road. Some scouting around unearthed a native cowboy, who, for a consideraton, agreed to lead us up via_a blind trail used by cattle thieves. With. Conrad leading we started the ascent but it soon started to rain again. Half way up.and feeling the urge for solace I pro- duced the snipe of a magnificent five cent cigar brought all the way from New Orleans. Not being able to light it I sat jouncing around on my mule trying to enjoy a com- bination wet and dry smoke. Suddenly the mule lurched forward. 1 gagged, and swallowed the butt. Then fol- lowed a brief period of sickness that made. me forget all about war, Nicaragua, rain and even the mule I still clung to. Pretty soon Conrad noticed 1 was in distress and pro- duced a bottle of aguardiente, a native brandy made of sugar cane, petroleum and anything they happen: to have handy. though and made me forget about being sick, so much so that when we rode over the crest of the plateau I was all set to fight the whole federal army singlehanded with the United States Marines thrown in. ~The Federals were in some ranch buildings with an eagls It did the trick but were -driven out in a few minutes bv our rifle and machine gun fire. Those that were left alive streamed out the back way before we could surround them, starting a pell-mell retreat down the steep -plateau sides. Our whole army broke ranks and started after them. Everybody for himself, we swarmed across the plateau and started down after the terror stricken enemy. Dreben is Hit—But Fights. I bagged several federals about half way down the treacherous descent but found it awfully hard to get back. After struggling up almost vertical banks of slippery brush it grew dark. Then it was harder than ever. Finally after hours of endeavor, and wishing I hadn’t been so zealous in enemy chasing I clambered over the top. There was no one in sight. It was almost pitch dark and—raining. At last after some grop- ing around | found a long low building near the ranch house where I felt sure our troops must be resting. There was no sentry posted, but Nicaraguan warfare isn’t liable to be run according to any particular rules so I took no notice of it and plowed right ahead inside the build- ing. There were a lot of figures huddled to- gether on the floor, so I figured I was where I belonged. After slinging off my stuff, I found a vacant space‘on the floor and slumped down to sleep against one of my buddies. In the morning I woke up refreshed and hungry; the hungér died down, however, when I looked around the room and found I had slept in the morgue. Later that day we got word that our ma- chine guns were badly needed at La Libertad, a three days March away, where a large force of federals had gathered and was molesting some rebels. Within an hour Conrad had us on the march and kept us on the trail for three days until we neared La Libertad. All had gone well, but we now found we had to descend through a narrow pass dominated by the enemy. Old Pat, under protection of two machine guns, one on each side of the pass, went first to scout around but was winged in the arm before he had gone fifteen feet. Next went Louis Grimer. They got him in the ankle. Rube Elliott started to crawl through and had gone about 50 feet when he came rushing back with the news that a federal machine gun 200 yards away absolutely controlled — the situation. Sam Dreben and I were delegated to sneak around a cliff and outflank the gun. We detoured in a semicircle and dropped down. about fifteen feet to a gully that led up tos the machine gun. Just as Sam hit the gully he spun around like a top and fell. I with= drew into cover while Sam yelled he was: cracked in the hip but not to worry—that= they couldn’t kill him because there was no; Jewish cemetery in Nicaragua. A lull in the firing let us build a barricade of loose rocks: for protection. Then Sam got sore. He stuck his gun over the top, took a care- ful bead on the federal machine gunners only 50 yards away and killed one of them. Ther he killed the operator. The rest of the enemy around the gun then ran away while we dash- ed up and turned the gun, a Maxin, on them.- Tuey were all mowed. > Our own party now came streaming- through the pass while federals hiding all through the bush popped up to stop them. A’ wild, guerilla battle started. Bloody en-. counters swayed up and down our gully. Our own machine guns were brought forward: and mounted on exposed knolls giving the’ federal artillery a couple of fine targets. Snipers in trees contributed to the excite-* ment. After two hours of terrific action ordered the machine guns ey and consolidated. the whole line for an at- tack. It was a great piece of ‘strategy be- cause the federals thought we were taking a beating. Under protection from the ma- chine guns we all swept forward: For-a few, minutes the battle was hand to hand, Sway-.. ing back and forth—but finally the federals_ broke and ran, leaving their artillery and machine guns. They went so far and so fam, that we couldn’t catch them so decided to stay where we were. (Copyright, 1927.) nyad: OFF TO ROCKIES To complete the unfinished work of Dr. Charles D.

There were Helen’s parents and hundreds of friends, school chums who had watched her aquatic triumphs with pride and awe, With her arms full of flowers and a gleam- ing smile upon her face Helen made her adieus. She kissed her relatives, shook hands with as many of her admirers as she could. A guard called, “All aboard.” There was a little scurry. Then, from the rim of that crowd, a tall, blonde boy struggled ‘his way to the side of the swimmer. His face was flushed. His lean, strong, brown hands found those of Helen Wainwright. Ben M. Owen, himself an athlete of renown at the University of Penn- sylvania, son of wealthy parents, with a beau- tiful mansion at Westhampton, Long Island, was saying “good-by”’ to his flancee. He bent to whisper something into Helen’s ear. She smiled and nodded her head. Those who were nearest say that the whis- per was, “‘I love you, and you will be true to me, won’t you?’ Then Helen and Ben kissed. It was the last kiss Ben was to get from his fiancee. With Gertrude Ederle, of channel-swim- ming fame, and Aileen Riggin, the famous girl diver, Helen Wainwirght boarded the train that was to take her into strange cities —and into a stranger adventure. In May, Helen, Trvay and Aileen arrived & in Dallas, Tex. ance. The theater wa” «ggpimed there as it had been in every other city. The three swimming maryels were applauded vigorous- ly. Like thunder. the clap-clap af hands swept through the house. When Helen came out to make her fifth curtain call, soft music came from the pit. She glanced down. A young man was play- ing the organ, his eyes, not on the keys nor on the sheets of music, but hard-fixed on the face of the swimmer. After the show Helen was introduced to George Leonard Holland, the organist. Eight days later the newspapers of the country announced the marriage of Helen Wainwright and George Holland in Dallas. “It was love at first sight,’’ the headlines quoted Helen as saying. In the Flushing, Long Island, home of John Wainwright, father of the aquatic star, there was great consternation. There had been no telegram telling of the marriage, no letter, And at college Ben Owen, reading a newspa- per, suddenly discovered that he was no long- er the fiance of Helen, the girl he loved and who had promised to beco#he his wife. Recently, Helen Wainwright, her tour com- pleted, came back home. And a week later she began a suit for the annulment of her marriage to her organist husband. “It was all a joke,’”’ she says. ‘“‘A 10-cent wedding ring started it.’ The night that Helen met George Holland, the two went out to dinner together.

Helen, chatting with the stage man- ager in the wings, an hour later, non- chalantly put her hand to her mouth. She held it there a minute. The wed- ding band gleamed. The manager’s.eyes widened, stared. He opened his mouth, closed it with a - gulp, excused him- self, went rushing to his ofice. And in the wings, rang Helen’s gay laughter. She had put one over on them now. Little did she know that that laugh was destined to end in tears and regrets. She saw George just before the cue for her act. She showed him the wedding ring And the organist bent swiftly to her out- stretched hand and kissed thé little tin band with machine-made orange-blossoms.

O boy, are they married?” “T’ll tell the world. ‘ And it was love at first sight!” Helen, in the wings, heard the first clap-clap of a pair of enthusi- astic hands. The entire theater was applauding in a second. “Congratulations, Helen George,’” some one called. At the next performance, Helen found several reporters at the stage door. “When?” they asked, their pencils poised over note-bookse. George Holland joined the group. “Well, and when did this wedding take place?” asked a newspaper man, Helen and George fled. And the newspapers of the day carried a story that George and Helen had been wed, secretly.

™, By HAZEL REAVIS YAssociated Press Fashion Editor.) Pale Greens Used In Evening Styles Paris (A.P.).—The light greens, shading from almond to nile and lemon are favorites for evening in the winter models. Some of the tints are so pale that they appear to be white at first glance. These delicate greens show up to best ad- vantage the fine Chinese embroideries which are part of the style at the best houses. Almond green is frequently used as the con- trasting color with navy and black afternoon dresses. One house trims a navy blue afternoon dress with green gold braid and pistachio green silk insets surrounded by green thread embroidery. White Raincoats Winter Prediction Paris (A.P.).—The raincoat of snow white rubber is offered by Paris as a solution of the problem of protecting velvet coats in winter weather. As the velvet coats run to dark blues, browns, black and very dark reds and greens, white makes a pleasant contrast with any of them. Collars, if any, are very small on the waterproofs so that the fur.collars of the underneath coat will not interfere with the neckline. Even the buttons of the raincoats are white. The material is slick finished silk which is easily washed.

Anthony Bill and t ‘ . - . oo pum f LPs camoufvaged camera with which he gets such excellent pictures ee of children. : om Ti pe a A oat ON’T pucker up your little face $0, Oswald. Stop making those horrible grimaces. && Smile prettily for the gentleman now, dear. Do you hear me, you bad little boy? Oswald Ingersoll Jones, if you don’t mind Mama this in- stant ? That’s the sort of thing the old-fashioned photographer had to put up with every time a juvenile wonder was brought into his stu- dio to have his picture taken. No wonder old-fashioned photographers were, as a class, sad, solemn, rather cadaverous men who took little pleasure in life and had no use for children. Not so J. Anthony Billjef Cincinnati, Ohio, who has applied psychology to the art of child photography. Mr. Bill long ago reached the conclusion that the average small child is afraid of the camera itself and rather ex- pects it to explode or discharge some fright- ful projectile, so he camouflages his camera when the sitter is very young. When young Oswald faces Mr. Bill he sees no infernal machine to upset his equa- nimity but a model playhouse, such as all little boys and girls love to look at and to own. The playhouse is of a style of architecture well calculated to please the childish eye. : There are windows and doors and all sorts of things. The sitter gazes in rapture upon the house, all unconscious that behind it is concealed the horrible camera ready to im- mortalize his beatific smile. Whatever underlies it, Mr. Bill has had tremendous success in photographing chil- dren, and particularly in trapping them into the moods and poses fond parents want to remember. “Remember the mean old photographers who used to promise trusting innocents that a mythical birdie was about to walk out of the camera?” he asks. “I’ve thought those old boys started a lot of otherwise sweet- tempered youngsters on the road to cyni- cism, pessimism and ruin.”’ ; * “A sliced ilama and cream, waiter.” “Sorry, sir, but we are all out of ilamas,” “How about a marang, then?” “It is out of season for marangs.’”’ Or, if the restaurant of the future is out of mangosteens, it is possible that the patron an get Zarda melons, carabaos, paradisiaca plantains, itzamas, or a dozen other fruits o»w unknown on the breakfast tables of the United States, writes Uthai Vincent Wilcox in Popular Mechanics Magazine. The particular ones mentioned above have een introduced by the Department of Agri- culture, and experiments are under way to ietermine just what regions of the nation best adapted for their growth, and just iow American people will receive them. They came from the out-of-the-way places of the earth, mostly tropical. _ ‘The search that sends plant explorers into emote regions of Europe, Asia, Africa or south America, is not for undiscovered lands fabled riches, like the explorers of old, but frequently their efforts are rewarded far in excess of the hardy sailor men who years igo brought home their ingots of gold.

Durum wheat is not the only notable example of plant immigrants that have since become thoroughly naturalized. There are a number of regions in the United States that owe their prosperity, and in some cases the very existence of their agriculture, to one of these plants brought in or sent in by a government plant explorer from some distant corner of the world. This is true of the date trees of California and Arizona; the feterita, Kafir and Sudan grass fields of the West; the dasheen patches of the South; the Panariti currant vineyards of Cali- fornia, and the rice fields of Texas and Cali- fornia. It might seem that the reservoir of the world’s flora would soon be drained of all possibilities and that a few years would tell us the limitations nature has set for our en- joyment of flowers, fruits and seeds. But explorers are still busily searching in distant places, and the lists of their findings show that we are nowhere near the end of the possibilities of the plant world. One of the hardest tasks that the food- plant explorer has to meet is the gathering of . accurate information from ignorant natives. Dr. Wilson Popenoe, who found the avocado, or alligator pear, in Guatemala, was warned again and again not to pick the fruit except when the moon was full. To do otherwise was dangerous, the natives claimed. Besides, they were certain that the avocado would be unfit to eat. ‘ rt ¢% ae , a, ! s a % ) ; a ee nS. ep Hy Re SR wer STRANGE FOODS FOUND ON U.S. TABLES | | also to the Andes berry and giant blackberry of Colombia.

Much Lace Used In Evening Styles Paris (A. P.).—Heavy lace of small pat- tern is extensively employed for evening dresses in the new collections. It is often bound with satin, or combined with it. Some dark brown and navy blue lace is seen for evening. Lightweight laces, some of them almost like cobwebs, are combined with georgettes and crepe de chine, The lace shawls and capes, which appeared early inthe summer, will be worn throughout the winter, according to predictions. There is a tendency to include a light wrap in the evening ensemble, making a two-piece cos- tume of the same material. The usual heavy evening wrap is worn as well, Nicole Groult Shows Some Girlish Frocks Paris (A.P.).—Not many designers have the courage to appear in their own models, particularly if they are startling. Mme, Nicole Groult herself wore the most interest- ing model displayed at her winter fashion opening. Her frock of ruffled black silk with white ruches as the neck and cuffs went just a step further in the “little girl’ silhouette she sponsors than did anything shown in the actual collection. A high, fitted waist, full skirt and feminine trimmings characterize the new Groult col- Iection, There were four ruffles on her straight gathered skirt. In her hand she earried a red chiffon handkerchief and her shoes were bright red velvet. Mme. Groult is known as the dressmaker of “‘modern’” women and her dress was a modern picture frock. Colored Neck Bows Suggested by Paris Paris (A.P.).—One of the most feminine ideas put forward in the-new winter collec- tions is the pink chiffon neck bow. In its original version it was tied demurely in front, almost as tidy and tailored as a man’s evening tie. Short ends reached three or four inches down the front and were lost in the open neck of a black silk frock with a small turndown collar. A dainty pink chiffon zinnia was caught in the first buttonhole of the frock, giving a flattering and dainty touch of color next the face. The neck-bow, an inch and a quar- ter wide, is a straight piece of double ma- terial. COLONIAL FLAGS USE SAME CROSS (By Associated Press.)

The British flag, the Sez Yt IA ‘“sreat union,” grew by degrees as Scotland and Ireland were added to the original England. It now combines three crosses— the English cross of St. George, the Scotch cross of St. Andrew and the Irish cross of St. Patrick. The original English flag was the upright red cross of St. George on a white field. This red cross is reputed to have been adopted by the Eng- lish during the crusades because of miraculous *.* Oo tee ee tesete® sf + e o. ae 9 9s tere , * .«* eo e** @0 . @ ters p . eee e * oak Sy + @ 4% « eee © os « ee ee oa @ 2.

It was still the flag of Eng- land when Elizabeth’s great seamen traded, ex- plored and fought under it. The X-like white cross of St. Andrew was known in Scotland before the tenth century. As it took form in the Scotch flag it was displayed on a blue ground. St. Patrick’s cross is also X-shaped as THE UNITED ~T - ¥ il t* -.

When the three flags were combined into the “great union” the blue fleld of Scotland’s flag became the main fleld for the combined crosses. Scotland’s white cross is the widest of the three. Over it lies a narrow red cross of Ireland. The English cross lies over the other two and is, therefore, the outermost and most conspicuous of the three crosses. It has a band of white outside the edges of the red, as a vestige of the white field. In the Canadian flag the field is blue. On this, occupying the entire upper left quarter of the flag, is the British union. In the middle of the right half of the flag, the fly end, is the escutcheon of Canada composed of the shields of the four original provinces. The Australian flag follows the same color scheme as that of Canada. As in the latter, the British flag forms the union occupying the upper left quarter. Beneath the union is a single great white star, and in the fly end five small white stars appear representing the constellation of the southern cross. A blue field and the usual British union form the flag of New Zealand. Ih place of the white stars of the Australian flag it bears four large red stars on the fly end set to form the four points of a conventional diamond design, The flag of the Irish Free State has broken away entirely from British traditions. It does not use the British union nor even the cross of St. Patrick. It is a simple tricolor, with vertical bars like the French flag. Its colors, however, are green, white and yellow. The present flag of South Africa is similar to that of Canada. It consists of a blue fleld, with the British union occupying the upper left quarter, and on the fly end an escutcheon with four symbols—one each for Cape Colony, Natal, Orange Free State and the Transvaal. Much agitation for a new flag has developed in South Africa. The extremists, wish, like Ireland, to discard the British union. The latest proposal, which will be voted on shortly, is for the upper left corner to carry the British union; the upper right, the Orange Free State vierkleur; the lower lefi the Transvaal vierkleur; the lower right, four stars representing the four provinces, and the center a shield with broad white, orange and blue stripes. | SUN WORSHIPERS FIND THE KEY TO HEALTH One of the world’s oldest religions, sun worship, is being revived again, not as a religious belief, but because of new discov- eries of the part the sun plays in maintain- ing health, life and happiness, Without sunlight children would waste away with the bone disease rickets, followed by tuberculosis; adults would be pale and weak and subject to colds and pneumonia; animal life could not be maintained and even | Why Thin People Live Longer above your proper, normal weight, you become one point less desirable as an insurance risk.

It is remarkable that it took so many cen- ~ turies to interest men in the light that pro- tects them against so many evils. What is sunlight? From sunrise to sunset the earth is being bombarded by a limitless stream of invisible waves. They cover a wide range of sizes, just as their companion radio waves . vary in size. A small part of the sunlight waves, when/tley enter the earth’s at- mosphere, become visible to the eye. Below the visible band and also above: it, shading off into ultraviolet at one end and infrared or heat waves at the other, are other waves which the eye, unaided, can not see. All of them are “moving through space at the same rate, roughly 186,000 miles a second, so the very short waves of ultraviolet are much more frequent than the long infrared waves. The discovery by science that some of the visible waves at the violet end of the spectrum and more of the invisible ultraviolet rays ‘beyond the realm that thé eye can see are capable of making the bones Aevelop, fur- nishing the green in growing plants, causing tan, and also sunburn, and protecting against colds and the weaknesses that make one susceptible to many diseases, is respon- sible for the growing popularity of the sun. Once the therapeutic or healing waves were isolated, science soon produced an_artificial light to provide them whether the sun shines or not, and from that it was but a step to the latest model lights, the power of which can be varied at will to give sunlight or double or triple sunlight, so that the equiva- lent to an hour or an hour and a half on the beach can be had in thirty minutes or less under the light. ss es yee, The discovery that ordinary window glass is a as A ae RE, 4 cari ead Beh he eee 2 MAceeee ae hye aly 4. atts yee se oS Rae a eee + et ey is aa ain il ee ia Sagas f SBR, i re Pia Th 1A eR a th hele es ot Reed, eg ) ee > 5 MS Tye and passes only the visible light, was one of the biggest scientific surprises in many years. The electric-furnace production of quartz glass, however, solved the difficulty, by making quartz windows and quartz globes for mercury-vapor lights possible. One draw- back, however, of the quartz lamps has been that the powerful ultraviolet rays emitted from the mercury lights were so strong that they could only be administered under meét- cal supervision to patients with their eyes earefully shielded by goggles, to prevent blindness and excessive sunburn. . A new type of light has been developed, however, and is now in the experimental stage, which produces the healing rays, with practically none of the burning ones, so that long exposure will give a coat of tan with- out bad sunburn, and will not endanger the eyes, / The growing sunshine worship has led to keen rivalry between cities with the maxi- mum amount of annual brigh\ days. In England daily measurements of the ultra-. violet radiation are made and published in the newspapers of several cities, along with the more familiar weather statistics, such as rain and temperature. In this country sev- eral cities which are especially well situated to offer the maximur amount of health rays are advertising it widely. Tree Braced to Resist Winds.

Why not take this matter of memorials into your own hands? Why not erect your own memorials while you are living and can have something to say about them? Being 70, I have a right, perhaps, to look at this propo- sition as I please, writes Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree Asso- ciation, in Patches, Philadelphia. If only we could get youth to do as the old Scot told his son when he said: ‘‘Be sticking in a tree, Jock, when ye have nothing else to do. It will be growing while ye are sleeping.’ So I Say, make your memorial a tree, or thousands of them. Tom Luther; up. near Saratoga, is plant- ing thousands of them, and I believe Tom will own up to years something like my own. He renews his youth in every one he plants. But let us go a step farther and try and vision what he is leaving for others in his tree-plant- ing program. Think what those trees will be like when the Centennial of Arbor Day in 1972 rolls around! Why not celebrate that event right now? You may not be able to be present when the Arbor Day program for 1972 is published in your town, but if you will plant the tree now you will have a worthy representative taking part on your behalf, and I think it safe to say that representative will be far more elo- quent than a whole lot of us possibly could be. Morever, you will have erected a memo- rial that will be exactly to your liking, and one that your most cherished friends will have a hard time improving upon. In what we do or do not do now, in regard to replenishing our forest resources, is bound up the whole economic future of this country. There is no article of commerce into which the cost of forest products does not enter. Our great forests are west of the Rocky Mountains. Our great manufacturing centers are east of the Mississippi River. Between lies the great burden of freight rates which the consumer has to pay. Yet there are 81,000,000 acres of idle land fit only for growing ‘trees, and most of it near the great manufacturing centers, that could be put to work growing those trees for the tomorrow I speak of. I know of no way to get a tree except by planting, one. In our modern life I hear a great deal about substitutes for this and that, but I venture the opinion it will be a long time before they find anything to substitute for a tree. We must become a tree-planting nation. The initial step is to become interest- ed in one tree. The way to do that is to plant one. You can have tree-planting sug- gestions for the asking, and your planting will be recorded on our national honor roll at Washington. The American Tree Association of Wash- ington, D. C., is the only organization I know of in which there are no dues. You plant the tree and thus become a member. As the tree grows, you will have the fun of looking at your own memorial. But—and here’s the secret— you will begin talking about trees to other people; you will plant more yourself; you will be represented in fine fashion at the Cen- tennial of Arbor Day in 1972, and that is exactly what the American Tree Association is after.

Coatless.

How foolish to argue with Carrie! Petty, too. Always vowing she wouldn’t—-yet she did. Closing her eyes. Wishing she could doze off. Forget the heat—everything. “Don’t, Bobbie!” aroused by a sickening sway. “I don’t want to be swung.’’ “Aw, that’s fun!” still vigorously pushing the hammock. 64 Be HECKING a sharp retort.

The fireflies twinkling lights among the bushes. Their festive flittings in- congruous in the wilting stillness. Not even a leaf-stirring breeze. The heat-depression wicoleniels them all. And Helen brooding over a real misfortune. Her amber beads! Her most treasured antique string—lost! Missed when _ she dressed for dinner. Nowhere in the house.

Only part of the hanger rod left for guests. Just room for Helen’s modest week-end wardrobe. Shaking the blue crepe she had worn all day. No, of course not, Another futile search about the room. For the nth time ransacking the top drawer. The only one not packed with camphored blankets. No use. No hope of finding them. “Still looking for. those beads?’’ surmised Carrie, when she finally returned to the porch. ‘‘Goodness, if I worried like that over every little thing “They’re not just beads, Carrie.

He was a Chesapeake Bay dog. Do you know the breed? They are strong and of curly brown coat and mighty muscles. . In their brown eyes is stanch loyalty. In their loyal hearts is fearless devotion to the man or woman they elect as their deity. Splendid duck-hunting dogs they are; grand swimmers and retrievers; almost im- mune to cold. They are not unlike New- foundlands in many ways, though not as large as the latter. Still, they are big and powerful and wise; a grand breed. Pup was bought as a tiny youngster by Homer Emerson, a mining expert, who lived in Butte, Mont. From the first Emerson and the puppy were dear chums. Pup was a one-man dog, and Homer Emerson was lucky enough to be the “fone man.” Then, in the spring of this year, Emerson was caught under a fall of earth and of stones at a mine prospect, and was carried home dying. Pup seemed to realize that something terrible had happened, for he struggled to get into the room where his adored master lay. But there was too much work and too much anxiety in the sickroom just then for any one to think to admit the worried dog. So Pup hung around miserably, trying in vain to get in and listening to the strange sounds which came from behind the closed door. He was alone and comfortless and barred from his master’s presence. Five hours later Homer Emerson died. Nobody had need to let the dog know about it. Pup knew; even as other dogs have dis- covered calamities through seemingly impos- sible means. The big brown Chesapeake was dazed and heartbroken. He refused food. He would not sleep. All day and all night he sought to get into the room where lay that still form which had beep his dear master, and whose bed they an d not let him guard. Foodless, sleep- - jess; desolate, Pup mourned as a human might have mourned. . On the day of the funeral Pup was locked up. But he got loose after a time and wan- dered digconsolately through the strangely 6 . silent house. His master was gone. But -» Pup happened upon a pair of muddy hiking an which Emerson had worn and which . - _ still had the scent of his steps. _Tenderly the big dog picked up the pair ot muddy shoes and tenderely he carried _ them out of doors.

But now he threatened her as she came near him. — Then, as if fearing some one might get these relics of his master away from him, Pup dug a deep hole in the soft garden mold. In this hole he deposited the shoes, pushing the earth back over them with his nose until the cavity was filled again. Then he stretched himself out on the newly-filled hold and lay there on guard. Food was brought to him, and water. He there in the rain. Next morning by force he was carried into the house and shut up there. The family was beginning to worry over the sanity of the nasi sedate and calm-brained Chesapeake. Suddenly Pup raised his head: sniffing the air. Then he dashed into a clothes closet and backed out of it again, carrying between ‘his teeth an old coat of Emerson’s, which had been hanging there, a coat Emerson had often worn on his country hikes with the ee dog. ‘He spread the coat on the floor and then lay down at full length on it and began to howl.

On this car, every weekday, Homer Emerson always had come home from his of- fice. And always Pup had been at the cor- ner to meet a pped down from the platform. Now, when this car passed the corner, Puy would gallop out eagerly and would stand in pitiful expectancy while the passengers got off. He would scan each one of them until the last had stepped down to the pave- ment. Then, sighing and with head and tail adroop, he would slink back to the house and to his shabby old coat. At last the poor Chesapeake’s sorrow was so intense that Mrs. Emerson decided the only thing to do was to have him put to death. She sent for James McMeehan, a friend of her husband and begged him to kill the unfortunate dog. | Reluctantly, But Emerson house he found there was no need for his services.

Meetings Every Wednesday Night Through Station WBZ at 7:30, Eastern Standard Time | Faithful to Her Duty. ERE is a charming story from H one of my correspondents. It demonstrates delightfully the faithfulness of mother love, and also the surprising degree to which the confidence of wild birds may be won. Here is the story as told me: “Tt rescued a young Baltimore oriole from a cat. I took it<up- stairs and placed it on the handle of a flower basket by an open bedroom window. For abotit fifteen-minutes all was quiet. Then the little bird began to call, and these calls in- creased in volume and frequency until they got on our nerves. Then I heard one of the parents call from a near-by trde. Promptly the young- ster set up a still more vigorous clamor. The mother flew close to the window, circled, then perched on the sill. She flew to a maple close by and promptly returned with a large green caterpillar. This she stuffed down the noisy youngster’s throat. In five minutes she was back with more food. he fed him on an average of once every seven minutes, three beakfuls to a feeding. This was kept up from day- light to dark for five days by the mother. Daddy Oriole was around, but never fed the baby in the window. “During the stay of this little bird he When he was taken into the parlor to show visitors Mother Oriole came in the window, passed through the bedroom into the parlor, fed him and went out the way she came in. Apparently our presence did not bother her at all.” The Master Glutton. What will.a bullfrog eat? This is one of the questions that has been asked me more than once. What won’t a bullfrog eat? Here is an incident bearing on this matter from Mrs. Chester Bancroft, of the Old Bay State. “All spring and summer,” says she, ‘“‘my little girl has been greatly interested in an enor- mous bullfrog living in a brook which runs through our yard. I think he must be the great-grandfather of all the frogs, his body being fully six inches long and his circumfer- ence in proportion. One day this summer my little girl discovered that this frog had/swal- lowed a barn swallow. This is a fact, not a pun. It was a big swallow in both senses, for the bird was fully grown. I went down to investigate and found Grandfather Frog on the sand at the edge of the brook with- the tips of the wings of the bird protruding from either side of his mouth. He seemed to have bitten off more than he could chew, so to speak. “With a wire sieve I caught him,,but he got back into the water. My little girl waded in and brought him ashore. While she held him firmly I pulled on the wings of the bird, which he had succeeded in forcing out about an inch further. It nearly turned him inside out when we pulled, but at last the bird was out and we let the frog go. Immediately he swam away, rather the worse for wear. The bird had been swallowed head first. How'or why he swallowed this bird, which had been taken head first, I can. not imagine, junless both were trying to catch the same fly.”’ This was not the explanation. The bull- frog is a'master glutton. Frequently his eyes are bigger than'his ‘stomach. It is neg hs ful, but true, that he often undertakes to swallow things so big that it is impossible for his gouge df Fe ie at Be hi | ye frog was umping ata fly.

Did They Have a Compass? One of our members of an inquiring turn of mind has been conduct- ing an interesting experi- ment. Says he: “I saw some tent caterpillars trying to climb up a steep gravel bank. They would get part way up only to fall back again. I noticed that when they got straightened out after the fall they would immedi- ately start back right up the grade. Can it be pos- sible that they have a sense of direction? I asked myself. Well, here is the way that I determined that they have, and that it is a highly developed sense of direction. “On a piece of shingle I removed three of them, one at a time, farther and farther away from the gravel bank. I would place the shingle on the ground, heading the caterpillar away from the bank. In every instance it immediately turned in the direction of the bank. I tried turning one around several times, but I could not mix it up. I put my hat in front of one to shut off its vision, but this did not fool it. I then put my hat be- tween the caterpillar and the sun, which I thought might be its compass. This, too, failed to throw it off its course. What do you know of this phenomenon?” Not having witnessed these experiments, I can not express an opinion. Occasionally we get a migration of caterpillars or other members of the animal kingdom, when noth- ing can turn them aside from a chosen course. Some instinct seems to force them in a given direction. The tent caterpillar is a silk spin- - ner. When it leaves the home web, or nest, in the morning and starts out to feed it trails after it a very fine gossamer threat of silk. Thus, no matter how far it goes on the tree, it remains in contact with the home nest. ‘As the cool of. evening approaches it returns to the nest, following this silken thread. In view. of the fact, however, that these cater- pillars that were experimented with were re- - peatedly lifted and carried about it would appear that there could have been no guiding thread... ‘The Interrupted Song.

Gius- seppe Torto, “The Bad Wop,” who was Wild Jimmy’s buddy when the two were buck privates in the same outfit during the fracas in France, has» gone up to the “big house” for a long stretch, put there through the activities and bravery of his former buddy. It’s a strange tale and well worth the telling, that of the two lads, Jimmy and Giusseppe from the gas house, and how, when they came back from the war, they had their battles down on the avenue. The story really begins in Le Cirque de Paris, on the west bank of Paris, 1919, when the Y. M. C. A. entertained the homesick remnants of the A. E. F, still left in France by putting on a series of unforgettable box- ing bouts. The night of February 17, 1919, the big French Madison Square Garden was turned over to the ‘‘Y’’ for one of the best fiight cards of the season. The vast place was jammed with doughboys on leave, staff officers attached to the peace conference from the Hotel.Crillon, gobs from the destroy- er fleet under: Sims, stationed off the Chan- nel ports, British Tommies and their Aus- tralian cousins, French poilus in horizon blue and ‘“‘Y’’ secretaries in Boche green. The gong clangored through le Cirque, shrilling for silence. The official announcer leaped into the ring and made known in English—then in French—that ‘“‘this battle royal between four black gentlemen from the labor battalions stationed in Brest would be followed by the best number on the eve- ning’s card: no less than a ten-round no- decision fight between Jimmy Daly, middle- weight champion of the Twenty-ninth Divi- sion, A. E. F., and ‘Ham-Stringer’ Johnny Barnes, undisputed champeen of the Aus- tralian Overseas Force.’’ “O’est bon!’’ shrieked a little, wind-burned poilu, waving his trench cap. ‘“Attaboy, mister!’’ bawled a drunken gun- ner’s mate from the destroyer fleet. The four strapping negroes, stripped to fighting trunks of bright hues, hands taped and gloved in professional manner, were pushed through the ropes and into the ring. For a hilarious half hour they convulsed the house with their blindfolded attempts to knock each other flat. The crowning touch was added when the referee minced into the ring to pronounce a tall, walnut-colored gent the victor of the brawl. Revivified by his contact with the canvas, one of the late victims of the golden walnut- toned gladiator’s blows suddenly straight- ened to his feet. Lowering his head Hike a bull about to charge, he dashed at the ref- eree and the almost champion. The smaller fighter’s head butted the tall yellow gladia- tor squarely in the stomach at the same mo- ment that his glove nestled with unerring force under tne golden walnut jaw, to flip the gangling aspirant for the battle royal crown to the floor for the count. Jeers, caterwauls and howls of amusement revere berated through Le Cirque as the flustered referee proceeded to uplift the right hand of the suddenly-proven winner and pro- nounce him the victor of the fight. *‘Now jt’s us, buddy,”’ said Private Gius- seppe Torto, wrapping a coarse woolen bath- robe about the shoulders of Wild Jimmy Daly, middleweight champion of the Twen- ty-ninth Division. The.two men, followed by the professional trainer, pushed through the howling, gesticulating crowd at the ring- ‘ side and took their places in the corner of the ring assigned to them. Jimmy’s compadres greeted him with bursting roars of cheer, waving fistfuls of franc notes under the noses of the Austra- lians. ‘Gonna rock him t’ sleep, eh, Jimmy boy? Gonna knock him loose—th’ big ham-string- in’. Austryliun, ain’t ya, kid? Attaboy, Jimmy! Cing cent francs on our Jimmy even _ money, their Anzac wit’ th’ red nose! Right!” Then the soft-hatted Australian troops who thronged one section of the big. place yipped and yelled as their contender’ threaded through the seats with his seconds and drop- ped onto the camp stool, across the ring from the slim red-headed Irish-American. Daly held his hands out to be taped and winked gayly down at his second and buddy, kneel- ing before him, : At the referee’s signal, Giusseppe jerked the bath robe from his buddy’s shoulders and the champion stepped forward, slim and graceful in his blue and gray tights, his smooth, keen face uplifted to the cheers and yells of the crowd. ‘‘Ham-Stringer’’ Barnes, heavier and bigger boned than his opponent, slouched from his corner, slapping his taped hands against his hairy chest. The referee introduced the pair, said a little speech to the audience, issued instructions and gave each fighter his. gloves. The men then re- tired to their corners. “You feel fit, hey, Jimmy?” soothed the second, during the brief interval. ‘Don’ mind dis here howlin’ and jabberin’. Dese Austryliun ginks—dey t’inks dis big hunk o’ canned Willie is gonna put a fast one over on ya. Not if I know ya, keed! Give ’im the ole left, Jimmy,-ver’ fast—-right on the smeller.

Most of dese here referees don’ know more about a foul den Mulvaney’s goat, Dere’s de gong, buddy, Snap to it now and give ’im the ole left!”’ The fighters leaped forward. Tensed on his toes, his gloves thrust in front of his face Jimmy Daly waltzed slowly after the bulky Australian who retreated from him. With a quick, shifting patter of body and head blows the American brought the antipodean out into the center of the ring, where Barnes changed his tactics and drove after the red-headed Irish-American with lurching head punches. Sidestepping and feinting, Daly withdrew from him, then with a swift jab and a follow-through shoulder blow of his right, he slapped Barnes across the jaw with his open glove. Eyes shining with bright and aroused battle lust, Giusseppe almost fell through the ropes in his enthusiasm. He waved his hands in which he clutched a big Turkish towel. *“C’me on, keed! C’me on, Jeemy, show ’em how dey do it over on Avenue ‘B’ in New Yawk! Slap ’im in de ear again, Jeemy— slap ’im, de big Austryliun butcher!”’ Jimmy did slap him in the ear again, but ‘the burly Australian slammed back and more than evened the count, so that by the end of the seventh round the fight was still de- clared even. Bleeding a little from the mouth, his red-hair swiped across his fore- head, Daly stretched out in his corner at the finish of the seventh round as Giusseppe rubbed him down, cursing softly the while, “Dirty butcher—he done it—-I seen heem ~——caught ya’ below de line dat time, Jeemy! J tole ya, young felair—stay away from dat _ infightin’—he murder you dere—de thick- - head referee—he don’t see that foulin’.

Yer terrible, out—out— out!” Fuming and spitting curses for the ref- eree’s blindness in not discerning the foul struck by Barnes, the young Italian. buck private clattered his water bucket against the corner post in white rage. Daly, ob- viously the victim of a foul from the blood- ied, badly-winded Australian, lay prone on the canvas, writhing in agony. ‘‘One—two-—three—four—five—six—-sev-”’ droned the referee. Daly dragged to his knees, then with his gloves over his face, jumped to his feet. Barnes drove after him, hammering, slam- ming, and driving with desperation, to get over the knock-out blow. Against the ropes they had it out while Giusseppe tore a Turk- ish towel into shreds and howled himself speechless. ‘Wily Jimmy” Daly lifted his head at the end of the hail of blows, took a haymaker square on the jaw and smiled. Smiled a’ ragged bloody smile—but the gay fighting smile of an Irishman—the smile he had learned as a kid down on ‘‘th Avenoo”’ by the gas house. Then he went after the ‘‘Ham Stringer’! with even stinging, unfailing rights and lefts to the head and throat, The big antipodean tried to reply, tried to cover up, then ducked and ran while le Cirque que de Paris became a place of howling, shrieking, bloodmad, wild men, Against the other ropes, the ‘‘Ham Stringer” raised his face to make a feeble jab. ‘‘Wild Jimmy” Daly ducked it and stepped back, the wobbling Australian fol- lowed after. ‘‘Now-——by!’’ throated Giusseppe Torto. Swift, flitting right feint which the ‘‘Ham- Stringer’ fumbled to check, followed, by a bitter slashing left which rameed through to sock dully against the jawbone. ‘“Ham- Stringer’s’ mouth fell open, his swollen eyes rolled, and he keeled like an ax-bitten cedar to the floor. His feet mazing and skidding under him. ‘‘Wild Jimmy” Daly stood over the prostrate Australian. He spat a mouthful of blood and broken teeth at the referee while the cringing gentleman declared him (with no valid right) the ‘‘undefeated champion of the Allied Overseas Forces.”’ Giuseppe led the waye which swept over the ropes and carried off a badly battered, quasi-conscious Jimmy Daly to the dressing room. That was the last time “‘Wild Jimmy” Daly ever crossed gloves in the squared ring in France or anywhere else, for the Twenty- ninth pulled out for home from Brest thse following week. Fifteen days of twitching seasick discomfort in the bowels of a reno- vated cattle boat and the two buddies stood by a davit on the hurricane deck of the trans- port, watching the loom of Sea Gate and the lower bay fade into the spired beauties of Manhattan Island. Down the harbor there came the mayor’s committee of welcome in a bedecked tug, their plug hats shining in the spring sunlight. First-class Private Giusseppe Torto turned to the “undefeated champion of the A. O. F.” “What now, eh, Jeemy?” “That,” said the “Wild Jimmy” Daly with a faint scowl, “I don’t know.” : The Twenty-ninth marched up through the Washington Memorial Arch and along Fifth mevoirs, * repaired to Camp Upton to be de- loused and demobilized; and Giusseppe and Jimmy returned with their crisp-new dis- charges to a badly changed East Side. The East Side which barely knew or understood, the East Side which greeted them first with some fervor and afterward withdrew speed- ily into its shell to forget them. Jimmy, dis- contented with the murky confinement of the avenue, packed up one day and pulled out for the Oklahoma oil fields. Two years of working and slaving as a truck driver in Tulsa, as a mule skinner—and a dozen other jobs. A few letters from New York from Giusseppe, who, he said, “‘was back with the bunch on the corner and going strong.’”” A bad venture in a salted oil well took his last savings and Jimmy Daly, former boxing champion, returned to the avenue without two nickels to clink together. Giusseppe, too, had had his fight, he told him the night he got back. But the gang on ' street, to ring up. te ee rt ey, ee eee eee oe iinet ciel NL eT AS SS ate f a nin ; 4!

Jimmy had heard that story before—and didn’t like the tune of it an awful lot. He told Giusseppe so, and the other laughed him into silence. The next week Jimmy Daly went on the cops and entered the training school for rookies. When he was graduated and given his shield and diploma and borrowed the . money from his Uncle Tim, in Weehawken, for the Colt .38 service revolver and the win- ter uniform and overcoat, he felt more of a man than he had since the day he heard the first sergeant bellow, ‘‘Comp-n’y—dis- missed!’’ for the last time. To prove that they appreciated his worth as a greenhorn cop the commissioners shipped young James Daly to the most for- lorn precinct under the direction of the met- ropolitan police. Saint Georges, Staten Is- land. Jimmy had a year and a half of it out: there on the sandy bit of land which thrusts into the Narrows, and then things began to break his way. At least he thought that the night-he stood drawn up on the floor of the station house with his platoon, going on late night tour, and listened to the captain read the orders from Manhattan headquarters. Jimmy got one line from the orders and that was enough. “Patrolman James Daly transferred from the Precinct, Saint Georges, Staten Island, to the Precinct, East Twenty- second street, Manhattan.” Jimmy kept on thinking it was pretty good to be transferred back to the old home pre- cinct and the avenue again until the second week, at which time he was put on night tour. The young patrolman, snappy in his light summer uniform and twinkling but- tons, his club cord twined around his wrist, the slim bit of locust twirling in arcs from his swinging hand, came up Avenue B from the lower end of his beat, at Fourteenth The police department phone box, used by patrolmen on that beat for communication with the station house, Kidnape < By a YOM. —" A A kidna d child am 1; A ha aed y a stretch of sea Beneath ; sunny sky.

Whistling the chorus of “The Sidewalks of New York” under his breath, Jimmy came across the corner, toward the phone box. The corner gang of youthful night owls, who decorated the front of Moe’s cigar store and aided the steel pillars at the apex of the triangular entrance in the upholding of the building, eyed the smart looking officer quizzically. One of the youths who blocked Moe’s display of La Hacienda Nickel Perfec- tos, stopped long enough in his execution of the latest Charleston step to comment upon the new patrolman. ‘“‘Ha—ha! Pipe de nice red-headed young copper headquarters has give us t’ keep de big, bad yeggs away. Ain’t he nice an’ snappy, though?’’ The commentator was abruptly silenced by a clout against the head from a stocky lad in a form-fitting suit and an expensive fedora. “Turn that spiel off, Joe. buddy!’’ Giusseppe Torto started across .the side- walk to pump Jimmy’s hand while his coterie of gun-toters gaped in the background. Giusseppe stood with the fuzzy brim of the fedora shoved back from his oiled hair, his hands poised on the flowing skirts of his pin-striped coat. “By ! Jeemy Daly—one de cops— w’at you t'eenk, hey? How come, Jeem? Why you don’ come wit’ me an’ join the gang, Jeem? Lotsa easy dough around here get it. Por bacco, That guy’s me —fellair know how t’ perhaps I shouldn’t say dese t’ings—now you de copper on dis pos’! Ha-ha! Dat’s a good one, Jeemy! Alright, alright, don’t forget I’m your ole buddy, Jeemy, any time you wanna lose that piece of tin and be a reg- glar fella’—Giusseppe—he feex you up! So long, Jeemy!’’ Jimmy could hear them buzzing and ejaculating to each other when Giusseppe re- turned to the group, and he continued to the box to ring in. When he went off tour, he had a talk with his venerable platoon ser- geant who had chased Jimmy many times when he was a kid and the former was a patrolman. The sergeant put his heels up on the marred edge of the table in the back room of the stationhouse and filled his well- rer pipe before he answered Jimmy’s ques- tion “That gang down at the corner? They’re ‘bad, Jim—a real bad lot o’ young turkeys. Moe’s gang they are. Th’ crooked ole Jew has all sorts of jobs fer ’em——-pays ’em well, too. What? Oh, .anythin’ from stealin’ a taxi to bringin’ in a load of booze fr’m a lighter down the river, t’ cleanin’ out a silk loft across town. Bad ’uns, Jim—all o’ thim —an’ this young wop, Torto—he’s the worst. Yeah, th’ worst, ’cause he got guts and the rest is just yella gun-playin’ kids. Bad ’uns, Jimmy... Yeah, you’re right, you want t’ know. Too bad you gotta use that box every twenty minutes to call in f’m. They won’t bother ye much, Jim—not with the record fer usin’ your mitts ye brought back from France wit’ ye! Good night, lad!’’ Three times in the next month, Jimmy had occasion to get his former buddy aside and talk to him. The first time Giusseppe had attempted to cajole and humor the young patrolman for his serious advice to stop his association with Moe’s gang. The second _ time, Giusseppe tried to avoid Jimmy when he saw him coming. The patrolman cornered him in a doorway at Eighteenth street and held him there until he was through. Jimmy’s face was hot and flushed as he talked, for it was an unpleasant job for any man to tell a former buddy that he is engaged in criminal undertakings, and he is listed as “The Bad Wop” at Police Head- quarters and regarded by precinct detectives as one of the most prominent gangster lead- ers out of jail, and that he will be put in for a good long session the next time he is This and many other things he told Giusseppe as they stood in the shadows of the - doorway while hucksters rolled their. push- carts outside in the warm August sunshine and fat Jewish women gabbled and motioned at each other from the windows, “It ain’t right, Giusseppe, and you know it.

The third and last time Jimmy approached Giusseppe on the question of mending his ways, was the night the red-headed copper won the honor medal. Even then the meet- ing between the Irish officer and the Italian gangster was unintentional. The patrolman was standing at the intersection of Seven- teenth street and avenue ‘‘B’’ when shrieks of agonized feminine terror tremoloed to him from across the avenue. Jimmy started over, to be met at the door by a strapping Irish stevedore, arrayed in his sock feet and under- shirt. “Thank th’ Saints, Officer—-I was jus- goin’ to getcha. But it wud be madness for any one Man t’ go up in there. Tha’s Paul Lubinski, the great Roosian, works wit’ me dock wallopin’ down at the White Star. It’s crazy wit’ rum and he is a bation’ his wife wit’ a poker or a chair leg like as not. He wud kill ya, smash ya like a bottle if ya went alone. It will take a. dozen o’ blue coats—and yez may take me word for it too —I know him well, th’ swine!”’ Palpitant, fearfully chattering women laid hands on his arm and tried to restrain him, as Daly mounted the stairs. The hulking Irish stevedore babbled at his heels until the patrolman stopped before the stout door, from behind which came the high pitched moaning of the Russian woman with tortured limbs—dull thump of blows in answer from her rum-mad mate. Daly stripped off cap, tunic and gun. “Take these, ya donkey!’’ he commanded the stevedore. 3 He flexed his biceps and, as he stood there in the tremble and quivering of the hall gas jet, there was about his eyes and mouth the fierce fighting stare of the ‘“‘Wild Jimmy” Daly of the Twenty-ninth. He opened the door, smacked it back with his toe and walked forward on the bal]s of his feet. The massive, bull-faced- Russian raised blood- flamed pig-eyes from where he stood over his crumpled wife, stout chair leg upraised in one ham fist. He lurched about and gaped at the slim half-naked patrolman, amazed at the temerity of any one’ man to enter his domain. “What ya doin?” asked Jimmy mildly, stepping into the room and closing the door. “Sweet Mother av Mary!” chattered the stevedore. The hallway and stairs were overflowed with fear-stricken neighbors when Jimmy pushed open the door with his foot, five min- utes later, and dragged forth the insensate wife beater by the hair of his head. Jimmy breathed a little unevenly through split lips as he donned tunic and cap and slapped his Colt back on his hip, The still trembling stevedore edged through the gaping crowd and sputtered questioningly at him. “I—-I—-I called an ambulance from Belle- vue Horspital—I—I—I knew one o’ yez would need it and shure go ridin’ t’ th’ doc- tors. Shall——shall I bear yez a han’, Mister Patrolman?”’ ‘‘No, I got him,” said Jimmy, slumping the Russian’s bulk down the staircase as if it were a bag of cement. He relinquished his grip on his prisoner’s hair only when ‘he young Bellevue ambulance’s surgeon in his white jacket and flat blue cap elbowed through the throng cluttering the sidewalk. With the assistance of the surgeon and his ambulance driver, the patrolman lifted the immense Russian into the rear of the ambu- lance. Jimmy stopped for a second to button his tunic and wipe the blood from a gash over his eye. “Pretty tough guy, ain’t ya, Cop?” hissed a voice beside Jimmy. ‘The patrolman looked around, Giusseppe and three of his gang, directed by the swift flying news of trouble, stood near him in the Jimmy searched the face of his for- mer buddy. “Yeah—an’ no,” ‘‘Yeah—oh, yeah! Goin’ after a tough guy like th’ Roosian wit’ bare hands. Tough guys in the cops nowadays. They don’t bother none wit’ guns. Tough guys, yeah!”’ “Yeah, ya stinkin’ alley cat!’”’ answered Jimmy, as he swung onto the back of the ambulance beside the surgeon and they clanged off toward the hospital. The details of the final showdown between | “Wild Jimmy” Daly and Giusseppe Torto, ° “The Bad Wop,” are. known from the _ Ghetto in the Harlem to the Fifth Point in the Bowery, and it’s well that they should be.. It started for Jimmy Daly about 11 o’clock on a gleamingly cold February night. He had called his station house from his. box on the wall of Moe Mosenkopf’s cigar. store and got the information from the desk litu- tenant that an alarm was out for Torto and his gang. They had just raided and cleaned - out the Second avenue, pawnshop, near Eighty-second street. The patrolman on the beat had seen their flashlights bobbing and winking in the shadowy rear of the place and had gone in to investigate. Giusseppe or one of his gang had shot and killed the cop and left him there, fleeing with the loot. They had made good their getaway in a stolen checkered cab-—-the desk lieutenant gave Jimmy the license number, last of them they had been streaking south down Third avenue, pursued by several police de- partment cars, bearing detectives and patrol- men. Jimmy knew what that meant. Sooner or later the gang would show up at Moe’s cigar store to cache their loot and then duck for the East River, where they kept a fast speed launch. After a few months, hid- den down in a duck camp on Great South Bay, they would return to their old haunts, when the trail was cold and the hue and cry had died down. Jimmy pulled his overcoat collar high around his neck, adjusted his ear pads for more warmth and stepped into the black, yawning mouth of a doorway in the rear of Mosenkopf's cigar store. He shivered and kicked his heels and he waited and shivered and kicked again. He looked at the illu- minated dial of his watch in the darkness. It was almost half an hour since he had re- ceived the alarm from the desk lieutenant. Giusseppe and his gang must be having a hard time shaking off the pursuit, judging ~ by the time it was taking them. It was time to call the station anyway. Jimmy came out of his shadowy post and started for the corner. Bouncing, rattling and grating, a check- ered cab slammed around the corner of the avenue into Eighteenth street and scraped to a stop—across the street from the patrol- man. Jimmy sprang back out of the glare of the street light on the corner and poked the stub muzzle of his Colt .38 in front of him. He watched with wide, intent eves as Giusseppe opened the door of the cab and lowered a heavy sack to the cobbles, Jim- my's voice was clear and emotionless. “All right, Alley Cat, stick ’em up!’’ An automatic spatted answer to his words from the side window of the cab. Bullets slapped into the britk wall beside the patrol- man, showering him with a fine red dust. Giusseppe was crawling snake-like around the front of the cab, the bag of loot shoved ahead of him. The man firing from. the window of the cab lurched out suddenly, head. hanging, nerveless fingers dropping an emptied automatic to the pavement. From Avenue B the roar and humming of a po- lice Cadillac told of the arrival of the detec- tives. Jimmy leaped after Giusseppe, who was running toward a tenement door, while the remaining gunmen in the cab fled at the sound of the detectives’ arrival. Giusseppe flung one look back at the pounding patrolman, encumbered by his heavy regulation overcoat. The Italian made a quick double, darted across the street and ‘down the narrow flight of steps which led into the cubby hole of an ice, coal and wood dealer. The two men hammered through — the shadow-shrouded confines of a stone pas- Ssageway, bumped through an ashcan-filled areaway, and then panted up long series of tenement staircases. As he followed Giuse seppe to the roof of the tenement house, Jimmy fumbled for the small clips of cartridges at his belt and filled the chambers of his Colt again. Giusseppe, after one look back, had dee voted himself to the obstacles ahead. He was sure he could outdistance the patrol- man, who was weighted down with his heavy overcoat. But Jimmy grimly leaped up the stairs two steps at a time. The gangster smacked back a wooden hatch over the skylight at the top of the tenement house and bobbed out onto the roofs, crashing the strong hatch back into place before he fled. Jimmy plunged against it in vain, to faintly catch the jeering laugh from above, then a tattoo of speeding foot- steps. Cursing heartily in vitriolic Gaelic, Jimmy threw back and lunged at the heavy wooden hatch with his shoulder. The thing trembled, crunched, gave. A bullet sang over his head when he poked up through the skylight. In his haste Gius- seppe had picked the wrong roof and was trapped! Jimmy lowered his head within the skylight again and shed his overcoat. This he wrapped in thick folds around his left arm, forming an immense bandage. Hold- ing the swathed arm before his face, his right hand grasping the revolver, he shoved himself slowly up into the range of Gius- seppe’s automatic. Crystalline light shed from a sickle moon, pendant overhead in a burnished shield of black steel sky, washed the place in brilliant unrelieved distinctness. The two men were in a well-like cavity of the roofs, formed by the four walls of the taller tenements around them. Between them lay about 40 feet of uneven roof tops, stud- ded with clothes poles, bedraggled radio an- tenna and chimney pots. Stabbing short snaps of flame, Giusseppe’s automatic rapped at the patrolman over the roofs. Jimmy dropped to his stomach and dragged gradually forward. As he softly jerked himself across the tarred paper of the roofs under the lucent bow moon, Jimmy had the queer sensation of being on a raid- ing party against the boche in the wire-tan- gled hell-roar of “No Man’s Land.” There, by the furthest chimney pot in the corner, where shadows pooled and spread, Giusseppe crouched. He could see his automatic glint in the moon light. Steadying his pistol wrist on his left arm, as the old regular Army sergeant had taught -him on the pistol range at Camp Dix, Jimmy waited for the flash of Giuseppe’s gun to show him his target. He pressed the trigger slow- ly, surely, as Giusseppe’s gun barked and shiv- ered spurts of fire, then a heavy automatic bullet ripped through the muscles of the cop’s left side. Flaming pain roared and twitched through him while he rolled into safety under the lee of a brick chimney top. He lay with his fingers pressed to the blood ooze of the wound, listening to the curses of Giusseppe’ ~ from his hiding place. The patrolman lifted himself to the top and peered in the direction of the gangster, the Colt leveled in front of him. Giusseppe Was standing straight and mo- tionless' in the moonlight, his gun swinging to and fro from his thumb, Clear and taunting, his voice came to Jimmy: “All right, tough hand fighter, I ain’t got no more shells—come and get me! You gonna come and get me now, eh? Ship me off up the crick. You-—-Tough Sop. Well, ‘Jeemy Daly, ‘undefeated champion A. C. F.,’ my gat ain’t no good; you wan’ me, come and get me. Drop yer rod, Mr. Tough Jeemy Cop, an’ come and get Giusseppe, th* Alley Cat—Giusseppe, th’ Bad Wop—-wit’ yer two han’s! Alley Cats, they can fight with han’s too—same as tough cops. What you say, Tough Jeemy Cop?” Giusseppe ended his tirade by throwing his empty gun at the patrolman. Jimmy’s re- ply was a harsh curse as he put his Colt in its holster and dropped the overcoat, He flung his cap over the overcoat and, with a farewell dab at the wound to stop the slow flow, went across the roofs toward Giusseppe. The gunman stood tense against the far wall of their battleground, like an expectant leopard waiting by a water hole. The Alley Cat’s face was white with ha- tred as they closed in, and his clenched fists swished at the squared jaw of the patrol-, man. Back and forth on the roofs, among the rough corners of the chimney tops, en- tangled in the radio antenna and the rotten © clotheslines, they slammed and smashed at. %j each other, Clinching, twisting, gouging, — kicking, fighting in ‘all comers’ Army style; — as men have fought since the burgeoning of * CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COLUMN & -

Man Versus Woman By WILL ROGERS the papers. Since Cal made the first page with his little slip of paper with the well chosen word of “CHOOSE” on it, instead of something more definite, why there just ain’t been anything else in the papers. Even if people had taken it serious there couldent have been much more said about it. Well you know last week I told you that I was expecting a visit from Judge Ren Lindsey, of Denver, and that we taight be able to ring in a little Sex, knowing my readers are right up on their toes and both ears thrown -for- ward when the man versus woman question is discussed as only a man of my vast experiences with such matters can discuss it. Well the Judge come out and I was on the edge of the chair to get an earful of this “Take a wife home on approval” idea. Well he come in and I kicked all the trick ropes and the kids and the dogs f LL I know is just what I read in out of enough chairs so he could sit- down. He seemed awfully pleased to see the children and meet the woman that knows a joke because she has lived with one for nineteen years. I thought I will get him started in on his life’s work in the Juvenile Court and then I will gradually let him drift into rela- tions pertaining to Male and Female. * * * ¥ ELL he is a little fellow with a large smart looking head, speaks with a Southern accent not acquired in Denver. He had the first Juvenile Court in America, founded in ’99, twenty-eight years ago. All the Juvenile courts and Juvenile laws are in some way taken from this original one. (He dident tell me all this for he dident have to, I knew it already.) When I used to play Denver on the old Orpheum Circuit I used to go up to his court and hear the odd way he had of handling cases, the sort of human way instead of the cold Justice way. I dident meet him then but I had al- ways been a great admirer of his work. Well he got to telling all about cases that come up in his Childrens Court and he had the Kids popeyed listening to him. I was interested, mildly, but it was the deeper stuff that I was laying for. I could hear about Kids, or hear Kids, any time or anywhere. In fact thats all I did hear. But my wife and I never have much chance of tuning in personally on the big problems of the day. : He had sent fifteen hundred young Boys to the Reform School all on their honor with no guard or any one with them, and only six had ever run away, and they come back and apologized and he sent them up alone the next time and they got there. Now when fifteen hun- dred Boys have confidence in a man I am not going to start in condemning him as quick as all the clergy do. Be- cause I dont believe there is a one of Judge Lindseys critics that could get fiften hundred boys to even go and get a dish of Ice Cream with them. They would be afraid it was loaded some way. He dont really run a court at all, he just runs a kind of confidential agency. Most of his cases are in his private office, or in his home. His wife works with him. * _ 2 ~ HEN the Kids were greatly interested when he told about one time when they were going to put him into Jail be- cause he would not tell the court what a twelve-year old Boy had told him in confidence. He claimed that he never repeated what was told to him by all the unfortunates and that he would be breaking his word. They fined him a thousand dollars for contempt, ebut they never did find out what the boy told him. Well the evening kept dragging along about what to do for the very young. But it was the mistakenly call- ed “Matured” that I wanted to hear his solution of. I kept trying to shoo the infants off to bed, but they were crazy about him and wanted to hear about every one of the fifteen hundred cases. Finally I got em out as it was growing late and I moved over near him, that is as near as I could and not step on my wife and then I diplomatically. worked around to it by asking unconcerned, “What about taking these women to our House and Board on Probation?” «4 Judge says, “Will, they got me wrong . on that. I don’t advocate Free Love or trial marriages. I am for more and more old-fashioned marriages and mar- riages that will stay marriages.” Well that took all the spice out of the evening as far as I was concerned to have the Judge deny that if one dident live up to the specifications you could return her, or him, which ever one of the half witted parties might be at fault. ° I would have been better off if I had in- vited Aimee up as far as getting some- thing snappy for constant readers. Then he told us. 7” +. * (MHERE are six million young men between the ages of 21 and 30 in this country that are not married.” That the reason they are not married - is principally economic, that they don’t feel that they can support a wife in the manner that everybody else looks like _ they are supporting one and that they os will bring children into the world which _ they cant properly care for, and another reason is that they see so many matri- .monial failures around among perhaps ‘ee er pel particular circle of friends - * p = rd | Oat Le b 7 "xe scares them from marriage.” he is for birth control and more sto ‘ i. . f Sead 2 See ae yior ‘ny > c i} i we nN fy HH) yf \ 4 \\ ai ESN \ LV eee Bs ii “a le § £ =| a - — Me t Syndicate, Inc.. I wanted an earful of this “take home a wife on approval” idea. birth control the same as the rich seem to be in possession of. In fact he must be right about the rich, they must know something for results are proving it. He claims the extra marriages brought about by that fear removed of too many children would offset the amount of children now produced by lack of knowl- edge of the poor. He claims that the whole thing has to right itself through knowledge. It all seemed mighty plausable, and he seemed anything but radical or a fanatic. I was wondering how he was going.to work out any scheme where Love was actually free. He seemed to me to be plotting against these six mil- lion to get some way to get them hooked. Then I brought up the divorce ques- tion. I had to get to that kinder tact- fully as my wife was right there, so I worked that pretty slick. I diplomati- cally said, “Not that I am interested in the thing personally but how do you stand on the divorce thing Judge?” That let my wife know that I had no ulterior motives. * “ < * WELL he has got a lot of common sense in this divorce plan. He wants more honesty in Divorces and less divorces. He claims that 80 per cent of the divorces are obtained by col- lussion. I always thought it was “col- lision.” What he meant by that is that they are faked and framed up, that both parties agreed to something before it ever went to court. There are only cer- tain grounds for divorce in certain States and he claims that those grounds in most of the cases never happened. He says that over fifty per cent of the costs of courts is in divorce cases. He says that it could all be avoided by doing away with all Lawyers, and in some States Juries, and have them tried be- fore some one with understanding with- out all this cost to the taxpayers and to both parties concerned.

THE ALLEY CAT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7.) the first dawn, the two men struggled si- lently. Time and again the Alley Cat smashed home a crunching blow at the pa- trolman’s face and recoiled, fearing a fatal jab from the fearful left. ' Daly’s blood was salt and hot in his mouth as the Alley Cat drove the policeman before him across the roofs until he was cornered against the brick wall. He was trapped as he had been that night in le Cirque de Paris In Paris when the great Australian had flailed at him, And there against the bricks, he smiled, wrinkled his lips back in the same ragged smile of a wild fighting Irishman... Suddenly he straightened at his full height and the Alley Cat, catching that bitter torn grin in the moon radiance, backed away, his hang up to guard his face. Smashing through, the knuckles of Jimmy’s right hand found that little mass of cords and nerves just below the Alley Cat’s brain. True to his vow of toughness, Giusseppe Torto tilted back his swimming head and lunged forward, only to be crashed backward by another smashing blow on the jaw. The Alley Cat regained consciousness about five minutes later and blinked with hot eyes at the staring sickle moon. Jimmy Daly kneeled beside him, rasping out deep, bitter sobs as he struggled for breath. He jerked the gunman by the shoulder. “C’me on, Giusseppe, yer on yer way to the big show now!” ‘Yeah, Jeemy,’’ mumbled the Alley Cat through broken teeth, hot tears burning in his eyes. Under the direction of the Colt’s muzzle, the Alley Cat went through the maze of chim- ney pots and got his bulking bag of pawn- shop Toot. Then the pair reeled for the sky- light hatch. Down the staircase, wherg dishevelled sleep-fogged faces peeped at them from the door cracks; along Nineteenth street, up the avenue and across Twenty- second street to the stationhouse. The white tiled bricks of the precinct building smiled at ‘‘Wild Jimmy” and the Alley Cat, smeared and torn from their combat, as they stumbled up the steps between the emerald blobs of: light on each side of the door. “W’at th’—is this, Jimmy?’ asked the wide-eyed desk lieutenant, leaning down over the desk railing. “This,” said Jimmy, “is ‘The Bad Wop,’ Giusseppe Torto. ‘The Alley Cat.”’ “Wild Jimmy” coolly and gravely charged the Alley Cat, elucidating all the counts against his chalk-faced prisoner. The lieu- tenant entered the charges on the blotter and jabbed the buzzer for the jailer, wo, his shoes squeaking, trudged out to take the prisoner to the cells. The Alley Cat turned for a last look at his former buddy. sagged against the railing of the desk, head low on the cool wood. . “Jeemy,” said the Alley Cat, ‘I don’ under- stan’ why not you didn’t use yer left on me —like yer use on de “Ham Stringer’ in Cirque | de Paris.

I can beat ‘her severely with the rubber skillet and yet take her to the opera without there being any telltale contusions or abrasions to cause the Diamond Horseshoe to buz with the gossip that Sullivan beats his cook. Trusting Soul Is Tricked. There are sO many ways of dealing with waiters without putting on the boxing gloves. Take the night of the Dempsey-Sharkey fight. There were five of us, and we were in a We told the waiter that and ordered dinner. .Twenty minutes later he appeared with soup—the wrong soup. Twenty-five minutes later he appeared with the wrong entree. Having had a good deal of time for meditation, I hag an idea. “See here, garcon,”’ I told him, would you say if I°gave you this?” He drew back instinttively and shielded himself with his tray. “No, no,” I told him; “fear not. would you say if I gave you this?”’ And from the recesses of my wallet I drew a long oblong cardboard, good for ad- mission to a ringside seat at the fight. ‘“‘Can you go to the fight?’’ I asked him. “Could you accept this?’’ ‘‘what What Detectives beat pris- It was touching to see his face light up. “Gee!” he gasped. ‘‘You really mean it? Mebbe I can, at that. Mebbe the captain’ll let me off if Itell him. Wait till I find out.” He sped off at a rate that amazed us. “He does his waiting for the slow-up movies,” one of the group surmised. Back he scooted in childish glee. “TI can go!’”’ he cried. ‘“‘Goody, goody; l can go!”’ He got the coveted pastboard. After that there was no trouble... Dish after dish of succulent, well-cooked victuais appeared as if by magic. We had to tell him not to serve the food so fast. The trouble with the American business man on his way to a fight is. that he is apt to eat too fast and get nervous indigestion. Ha said he couldn’t help it; he didn’t want to be late for the fight, and we could oblige him greatly if we hurried also. “Otherwise you'll be late too,”’ he reminded us. That gave one of my friends an idea. Ticket! Ticket! Who's Got It? “Sa-ay,” he asked me; “you gave him your ticket. How are you going to get in?” “By George!” I exclaimed. ‘‘That’s right. [ never thought of that.” There was a poser. We had maneuvered things so that we had got our meal served expeditiously, but in the maneuvering I had lost my ticket to the fight. “Maybe we could ask him to give it back,” I suggested, grasping at a straw. That suggestion met with a series of mock- ing guffaws from my companions. There was silence for a few moments. Then one of the crowd suddenly popped into animation. “T have it!’’ he exclaimed. “What? Tell us! Quickly!” We were all animation. “Is he listening?” queried he who had it. We peered cautiously about us and looked under the table. The waiter was not around, “We must act quickly or it will be too late,’’ said my friend. There was then a hurried whispered consulation among our five heads, bent closely over the table. Shortly after that we slunk out surreptt- tiously, much in the manner of persons re- buked by a head waiter. Indeed, those who saw us go thought such was the case and paid no more attention to our exit than to give us a few sneering glances of contempt. That suited our purpose. I got my ticket back, But the police never found out the identity of the five well-dressed men wearing masks who assaulted Benito Peronio, 35, waiter at the Hotel B and robbed him of his ticket to the Dempsey-Sharkey fight as he was leaving the servants’ entrance of the hostelry on his way to the fight. (Copyright, 1927, Press Publishing Co. [New York World].) HUNGARY “MIDDLE WEST” OF EUROPE (From Nation’ Geontiphic Society.) Washington (A.P.).—Hungary’s answer is: If you haven’t land, make it. Statesmen at Versailles in 1918 trimmed the skirts of Hungary to something less than knee length. They reduced a country as large as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio together to a country the size of Indiana. Even the 35,000 square miles left to Hun- gary was partly submerged real estate— swamps, bayous and lands ‘subject to flood. Hungary has built dikes which have con- verted 8,750 water acres into as many pro- ductive acres, and it is building more. The Theiss, not the Danube, is the princi- pal river of Hungary. Flowing through the flat Hungarian plain on its way to join the Danube, the Theiss has twisted itself into a miniature Mississippi. It wanders for 930 miles through a fertile valley only 338 miles long. Severed bends become stagnant lakes, shaped like new moons. Dwellers in the valley, like dwellers in the Mississippi Val- ley, have had to wrestle with higher and higher floods as cultivation increased. In many respects Hungary can be consid- ered the ‘“‘Middle West’’ of Europe. Its Al- fold stretches out, making the largest plain in Europe. As in the corn belt, the arc of blue sky ends at an undeviatingly straight horizon, unmarked save by isolated houses and a few trees. Hungary has accepted the middle West’s favorite crop, corn, and gives wheat a second place. The Alfold has passed through the same cycle of agriculture as the plains west of the Mississippi. Hungary had its cowboys, too, in the old days. It raised long-horned cattle and sheep for its twin state, Austria. But the plowman displaced the cowboy and Hungarians, like dwellers along the Mis- souri and Mississippi, build dikes to extend their farm acreage. Farmers on the Hungarian plain live in towns, from which they go out to work the fields. Their villages have broad streets and separate houses, but they do not have the cordial welcome of American villages be- cause the builders turn the gable ends of houses toward the street, and the street face contains no windows. While the Theiss, flowing south to the Dan- ube, creates conditions of a@ miniature Mis- sissippi, its unruliness has a dfferent cause. Soon after the Theiss joins it the Danube comes to the narrow pass through the Car- pathian Mountains known as the Iron Gate. When spring floods fill the Danube the Iron Gate can not handle the waters. Then the rising Danube lays a water dam across the mouth of the Theiss. A 13-foot rise in the Danube will back up the Theiss for 87 miles north to Szeged. Dikes, which show as concrete purchases made with the millions loaned to Hungary, are expected to reclaim 5,600,000 acres of rich land and add 1,000,- 000 tons of grain to Hungary’s granary yearly.

ISE” VILLAGE | A definite step in clearing up one of the intriguing mysteries of prehistoric America, namely, the evolution of the cliff house, has been taken by a Smithsonian archeologist in the Southwest. Frank H. H. Roberts, jr., of the Bureau of American Ethnology, has uncovered in Chaco Canyon, N. Mex., a ‘‘slab house”’ village. It consists of a group of pit dwellings sunk 2 or 3 feet in the ground and lined with stone slabs, surrounding a larger central excavation, which was probably the ceremonial chamber or council house of the village. Hitherto, only single slab houses have been known to archeologists. The discovery of a group of them surrounding a ceremonial chamber so closely resembling the Kiva of the Cliff Dwellers, seems to prove that they were direct ancestors of the cliff houses. The prehistoric Indian culture of the Southwest stood alone in North America. Not only was its architecture different from that of the other tribes, but the physical features of the Peublo Indians, the character of their |BEAUTY AND YOU DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES? By Viola Paris When I ask you if you take care of your eyes, I’m not suwggesting anything so obvious as a visit to an oculist if you think you need glasses. I’m trusting you to think of that yourse!f. But—do you take care of your eyes, your perfectly good eyes that don’t need the oculist’s assistance, but that would be much lovelier than they are now with a beauty specialist’s assistance, or your own fine amateur hand? Those Circles and Lines. As age comes on, we’re all bound to ac- quire lines around our eyes, but, if we make the skin more pliable by the use of creams, the lines will stay away longer. A very heavy cream fhav-be used for this purpose, smooth- ed on fairly thick. Don’t massage the skin, but play on it gently with the finger-tips, using just enough cream so that morning finds it absorbed, leaving the skin looking merely damp. Some specialists, of course, make special eye creams, and many of these are very good; but a dependable nutrient cream ofr just plain lanolin will serve the purpose perfectly. In the morning, an as- tringent skin tonic should be dabbed around the eyes with absorbent cotton. In washing, use plenty of cold water. If dust seems to collect in the eyes, and they feel hot and tired, bathe them with an eyecup, using a boric solution, which you can get from the druggist, or plain cold water from the bath- room faucet. ie! For Wrinkled Eyelids. If the eyelids become wrinkled, it is be- cause the skin is too dry. cream ‘should be used at night, and even before making up for the day a tiny bit of cream should be put on the eyelids—just a gentle finger-tipful. After powdering, the _ powder should be rubbed off completely. If eye-shadow is used at night, the paste type - is much to be preferred to the powder kind.

A careful and judicious use of mascara at night will make the lashes look thicker, but to use mascara conspicuously by day is one of the eardinal sins in make-up. Eyebrows—does one need to say it?—-are no longer plucked or shaved. But they must be trained. The t method is to brush them straight up, afterward shaping the up- per edge with the teeth of a comb till the “ ; brows take the finest line of which they are capable. If this is done faithfully, they will begin to grow in beauty. It is a great mistake to color the eyebraws, unless one is the tow-headed 11 whose eye- brows don’t seem to exist unless she touches them up. In this case, she might make them brown, but not black. The latter always gives the face a hard and artificial look that 1 nor smar t. e; § 5 ig pottery, weapons and clothing were distinct. But in this Southwestern area itself there seems to have been four district stages of cul- ture. First came the basketmaker, who wove baskets and textiles, but made no pottery. The post-basketmakers followed: they made pottery and built the slab houses. The pre- Puebloans preceded the highly cultured Pueblo peoples with their monumental dwell- ings. The widest gap in the interrelationships of these four cultures came between the slab house builders and the pre-Puebloans. Mr. Roberts’ discovery of the slab house village tends to wssen this gap and so constitutes an important contribution to American arch- eology. Mr. Roberts is extending his investigations to Montezuma Creek in Southern Utah in the hope of finding a similar village in another area occupied by the slab house dwellers. MUSICAL TEST FOR MOTORS. By applying the principle of the xylophone to the brushes of electric motors, Dr. G. M, Little, research engineer of the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co., has developed a method for detecting defective units and thus averting accidents that might do extensive damage, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. A brush is worth about 50 cents when made of carbon, but might put an armature, valued ‘at half the entire motor, out of commission if it failed. Dr. Little constructs a sort of xylophone, using the carbon brushes as keys. Then, employing one as a tuning fork and striking the keys-with an ordinary drumstick, he determines by the pitch which are of good material and which are not. A standard note is G sharp. Brushes of a lower pitch are found to be defective. An A pitch denotes satisfactory ones, “SERPENT” OF OLD-TIME BANDS PRODUCES SWEET MUSIC That the use of queer-looking musical in- struments is not wholly a feature of the mod- ern ‘‘jazz’”’ age, is seen in the odd “‘serpent” piece which was said to be an essential part of most military bands up to 1800. It fell into discard about that time, its distant “cousin” being found today in the saxophone, shys Popular Mechanics Magazine. The in- strument was made of wood and produced a barytone note of pleasing quality. Rockville Fair. . : (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2.)

Its streets are paved and it is connected with nearby cities with excellent highways. In the old days the farmers and their families either drove or rode to the fair. Today the fair grounds are crowded -with automobiles that have brought the farmers and their families from miles around.

This joy is one that sur- passes most others, especially when the work is a task you set for yourself and is not given to you by your parents or teachers. Of course, nice, shiny express wagons for tiny boys can be purchased at the stores or larger ones for the larger boys, but there is something of the creative genius in the boy or the girl either, for that matter, who can take an old pair of wheels, a box or two and make a@ wagon with all the up-to-date equip- ment of horn and headlights and imagine that he has gone Mr. Ford one better in evolving a poor man’s car. The other day a very small lad, probably not more than 12 years of age, attracted the attention of a group of business men by the dexterity with which he managed his home- made automobile. It was made from a chair on a box. Somewhere he had secured an old automobile. engine and other necessary accessories and had made a machine that would go. He was in his own neighborhood. So the license number printed so: carefully on a piece of tin would pass muster with the police. This boy, by the way, it was learned was the son of parents who owned three auto- mobiles. He wanted his own. The boy who has not made a wagon or some kind of vehicle that will go, toy ship that. will sail, and the girl who has never fashioned clothes for her doll or even a tiny apron..or..simple frock for herself has lost muchrof the pleasures of childhood. It..is character building to work with the hands no matter how much the brain may be used nor how brilliant or talented the boy or girl may be. Great authors, musicians and actors, it will be found, always have some homely task they like to perform. Many Presidents of the United States have been fond of sawing and chopping wood. ’ Mrs. Coolidge; the present First Lady of the Land, is always sewing or knitting. Her busy fingers are never idle while she listens to the conversation of the many interesting people frequently guests at the White House. All of us can find some occupation with our hands whieh will be congenial to us and give our minds and bodies a rest from study and even play. There are so many ways for boys and girls to perfect themselves in their favorite crafts, whether they are carpentry, toy making, electricity, radio set making, making clothes for dolls, or apron and little linen sets for mother. Books on these topics are obtain- able in the public libraries and in our public schools many of these useful arts are taught. Knowing how to sew on a button or mend a rent in a garment is as much a part of preparation for life for a girl as studying to be a woman doctor. The useful boy about the house will become the useful man and glad it yained this im tres agreed the good husband who will know how to do the little things which help in building up the home or at least know if they are being done right.

"A Rainy Saturday.” (Honorable Mention.) ‘“‘Who'll volunteer to get the chicken and roast it?’’ asked Ruth Rae of the crowd of girls before her. ‘‘And make the sandwiches, too?’’ Several hands went up. But finally it was decided that Rosamund and Gladys should do that particular task together. Peggy Underwood, June Maske and Nellie Gordon were assigned the job of buying the pickles, olives, potato salad and bread, and getting it ready to pack. Nellie Marsh and Jane Wood: asked to buy the lemons and make the lemonade. “Be sure and make plenty of it. know eight hungry, hot girls on a picnic are going to call on the lemonade pitcher more than once!”’ continued Dot Sander, Marie and Ruth Reed said they would each make a big chocolate cake—and maybe a pineapple one in the bargain. : “If you want my opinion, we’re going to have a glorious picnic,’’ declared Peggy. *‘No doubt, with all that food. Say, girls, how about some ice cream? How’ll we get that? Got to have ice cream, you know.” “Why not have each girl bring a pint along?” suggested Marie. ‘“‘That’s a good idea,” answered Rosamund. “Then we can bring the kind we like best and if we have any left over——~’’ ‘Don’t worry, we wont,’”’ cut in Peggy. “IT move we adjourn this meeting and be- gin our jobs right away,” spoke Nellie. ‘IT second the motion. Saturday is only three days off and we've all lots to do,” an- swered June. “It has been moved and seconded that we adjourn this meeting,’ said Ruth, who was the chairman of the picnic of the ‘Girls’ Summer Club,” as the eight chums called themselves. ‘‘All in favor say aye.’ ““Aye!”’ went up eight hearty voices in chorus. Saturday came and eight sad, teary-eyed girls met for their picnic. For it- was rain- ing torrents. I say torrents because by 11 o’clock Saturday morning the ground was soaked. When 2 Qg’clock came and the girls had gathered, each with their particular box of delicious goodies under her arm, they felt sure the picnic was not going to be! “I say, girls,”’ declared Dot, ‘‘it’s a shame. Let’s start a free-for-all fight and drag in the weather man.” “Yes, let’s! I feel the same way about. it,’ exclaimed Peggy, jumping up and start- ing to hit Nellie, _ ““Can’t. we think of something to do about it?’’ pleaded Rosamund, eyeing the neatly wrapped boxes. “It’s a shame to let the food waste, but it'll never taste the same in here as it would out in the shade of some big trees, or near the water,’ sighed June. “T have it! A wonderful plant” *What is it?’ : *‘Don’t keep us in suspense.” So Marie. laid out her plans. They would take all the food they had fixed and go up to the little hut on the road where poor Mrs. Forsythe lived with her-five children. Mrs, Forsythe was a widow and took in sew- ing to support herself and small family. “Fine,” exclaimed Ruth. “Bully, as Bob would say,’’ .volunteered Gladys. . **‘Wonderful.” Great.” And several more such remarks, “TI think that’s a wonderful plan. Oh, let’s start right away. Get your slickers and galoshes, girls, and come,” thus saying, Dot set the example by donning her slicker and picking up her baplest with the much coveted lunch. “All right, come on,’ cried Marie. The girls started out and soon reached Mrs. Forsythe’s jhut. They sent the children and their mother out on the porch and quickly spread the big table with the de- licious and daintily wrapped sandwiches, a big dish of potato salad, pickles and olives, two big chocolate cakes and three jugs filled with lemonade, Oh, my, oh, my! they have fun? their mother had gotten over their surprise and eaten all they could, Ruth brought out the ice cream and they all had a share. “That was more fun then going off in the woods an selfishly eating all that wonder- ful food,/ while those poor ‘children hayen’t probably, had ‘that much of a meal in—in goodness knows when!” said Ruth, as the girls were walking home. — “The rain has stopped a but, @.

She knew that it was either 1842 or 1832, but she.couldn’t decide which one it was. She stopped and waited for a street car. Here was one at last. Marjorie got on the car, dropped her token in the box and sat down. It was a long ride, but finally she heard the conductor’ calling out Piedmont street. Marjorie decided that she would go to 1832 and ask if the Brownleys lived there. She looked up and down the houses and finally saw 1832. It was a beautiful stone house of four floors surrounded on all sides by shrubbery. Finally she ascended the broad stone steps and rang the doorbell. In a minute or so the bell was answered by a quaint little maid who, before Marjorie could say anything, ushered her -in the house and told her that she would call her mistress. Marjorie didn’t know what to say or do. She was so astounded as she seated herself on the old- fashioned davenport that she didn’t notice the dog in the room until he came up and licked her hand. She heard steps on the stairs and a woman of middie age came in the room, looked her over and finally said, ‘‘So you are the new washerwoman. Well, you are quite young to be doing washing. How much do you get a week?” . N “Pardon me, ’er, I’m not,” Marjorie began te say, but was quickly interrupted. “Oh, that’s all right, now don’t get emtbar- rassed, just name your price.”’ Marjorie finally came to her senses. and explained everything. The woman a and told her that the Brownleys— lived in 1842. Marjorie got to the Brownley’s home just 1s they were leaving and related to them oF adventure. - JEANNE MURPHY (age sg 1830 ane. strc ot northwest, _ le a ic TS Se OR ae) wy - WY for.a while, she started home.

1S : & - es : sy \q uN A ” i) 2 vr. ag ad ae Ren, } —e [AT THE CHESS TABLE] By WILLARD H. MUTCHLER. - In his explanation of “ballot chess,” the list of openings of which was given Jast Sunday, Stasch Milotkowski writes as follows: - - “The object of ‘ballot chess’ is to give greater variety in openings adopted and allow some of the more complicated Variations a chance to be more often Played. Also, by throwing the players early on their own resources, to increase the winning chances of the better player. The lawyer or physician must take his cases as he finds them and in wel, to which chess is most often com- pared, the general can not start with the same forces in- exactly the same, position every time. “It must be remembered, too, that in the companion game of checkers re- atrictions have been in effect for a long time and lately playing of the so- called ‘barred openings’ has met with favor. “If the plan of ballot chess herein described were to be used in tourna- ment play it would be better applicable to tourneys conducted on, at the least, the double round plan. This, however, could be dispensed with in case of necessity. In a double round tourney, however, each player would have the game opening when playing the white pieces as he had against a given op- ponent when playing the black pieces. In match play equity requires that a rather more involved system be used. If A has white in game 1, B will have white in game 2; A, white in game 3; B, white in game 4. But B, white in game 5; A, white in game 6; B, white in game 7; A, white in game 8. Again A will have white in game 9, &c. The reason for this will be found when we come to the method of balloting. Two games -are called a bracket and four games a set. Thus each player begins the set alternately with white and black. Method of Balloting. “Take ten cards numbered from 0 to 9, inclusive. The first card drawn, if it be from 0 to 4, inclusive determines that the play takes place in the first hundred openings; if 5 to 9, inclusive play takes place in the second hundred openings. The draw is repeated and the card drawn gives the tens in which the opening occurs. The draw is re- peated a third time and the card drawn determines the unit. Thus, only three drawings are necessary if ten cards are used. Thus drawings, respectively, of 2-3-5, would indicate that opening No. 35 is to be played, or as given in the list, the opening moves consist of 1 P— K4, P—QB4; 2 P—QKt4. A drawing of 6—9-—0 would mean that the opening chosen is No. 190,.or 1 P—K4, P—K4; 2 P—KB4, PxP; 3Kt—KB3, P—KKt4; 4 P—KR4, P—Kt5; 5Kt—K5, P—Q4. “In drawing for a tournament it is only necessary to make one drawing for each pair of opponents for a double round. In the case of a match, if the first hundred is drawn for the first bracket, the second hundred shall be drawn for the second bracket. This as- sures a wide variety of debuts. After the first set for a match is drawn, the tens already drawn in the same hun- dred are eliminated in further draw- ings. For instance, in case 35 were drawn, no more thirties in the first hundred would be drawn until the re- maining nine ten units had been drawn.” Mlotkowski’s scheme as submitted is worthy of serious consideration. There is indeed a point to be noted in that it is the practice of the day for the competing masterg to be partial as a class to certain openings, and partial as individuals to as few as two or three openings. This may not be censured too heavily, for it must be remembered that the professional player is out pri- marily for the money he can make. It is to his interest to know a few open- ings very well rather than know a num- ber not quite so well. The detrimental part of it all, as we see it, is that the practice is spread- ing to players who can in no wise pic- ture themselves in the master class— whose primary interest in the game should be that of sport and not fear of @ loss of their prestige. They more or less unconsciously emulate the example of the master player and, other opin- ions to the contrary, their play must suffer as a result. The types of com- binations arising from some of the more complicated openings differ mark- edly from the types arising from others, due often to the fact that not only is the: material not the same but it is situated decidedly differently. Per- sonally we believe that all players should give each and every opening a fair trial. And if he insists on being selective, it would be better if he se- lected a round dozen or more of the openings as worthy of detailed study. Miotkowski’s idea is a step in the right direction as applied to master play. His present list may be open to some ariticism in that it goes into considerable detail in such openings as the Evan’s Gambit and King’s Gambit and shows a Jack of detail in other less complicated debuts, such as the French, Sicilian, Petroff, &c. This could read- ily be remedied, however, with such a fine opening skeleton on which to en- large. We append one of his games with W. H.
