WASHINGTON: MONDAY. op” FEBRUARY 27. 192s COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY THE WASHINGTON POST CO id TWO CENTS. 05 ANGELES 1$ OFF ON NONSTOP FLIGHT TO PANAMA CANAL Journey of 2,200 Miles Ship’s Longest Since Leaving Germany. STARTS AT 6:15 A. M.: OFF DAYTONA 8 P. M. Commercial Demonstration Is Given as One Reason for Long Sea Cruise. (Associated Press.) The great silver, cigar-shaped dirigi- ble Los. Angeles was poking her nose into tropical »reezes somewhere off the Bahama Islands last night on a projected nonstop flight to France Field in tue Panama Canal Zone. Taking off from Lakehurst, N. J., early yesterday morning with scarcely any advance publicity, the giant lighter than air hit a course southward well out to. sea on the Atlantic seaboard on a training flight with the double purpose of demonstrating the use of such craft in commercial service Although contemplated for some time, the exact nature of the flight was kept secret until the airship nosed away from her hangar at Lakehurst at 6:15 a. m. yesterday. At 8 p. m,. the ship reported to the Navy Department a loca- tion approximately 300 miles due east of Daytona, Fla., and 300 miles north- east of Nassau in the Bahamas, where she expected to reach at midnight. Second Longest Journey. The voyage is not only the first at- tempted nonstop flight of a lighter than aircraft to the Panama Canal Zone, but will be .lso, if the flizht is successful, the longest journey for the Los Angeles since she was flown from Germany after her construction there It was explained at the Navy Depart- ment that the flight, being experl- mental in its nature, would make no attempt to set speed records. Lieut Comdr. C. E. Rosendahl, who is in charge, is expected by the Ni vy Depart- ment to take the craft far out to sea if he thinks it advisable, in ‘he hope of demonstrating the capabilities of the ship to make what amounts to a trans- Oceanic voyage. It was originally announced that the Los Angeles was taking a cruise to Guacanayaba Bay, Cuba, where the naval tender Patoka, which is equipped with a mooring mast for airships. Is anchored. It was the hope of the Navy Department that she would complete her journey without stopping, but the Patoka was anchored in the Cuban waters, about 1.500 miles south of Lake- hurst, to be available in event weather conditions prevent the continuation of the flight. May Moore to Patoka, Lieut. Comdr. C. E. Rosenthal, the commander of the only rigid airship left in the Navy, was given full au- thority over her and if he considers it discreet to moore the aircraft on the Patoka, this will be done. Then when weather conditions are favorable the flight to Panama will be resumed According to the plans, Lieut. Comdr Rosenthal will also determine whether he will return the Los Angeles.in a nonstop flight from France Field to her hangar at Lakehurst. Otherwise, he may moor her on the Patoka where fuel and emergency machinery may. be taken on. For some time the Los Angeles, fol- lowing her remarkable achievement of Jauding on the deck of the airplane carrier Saratoga, has been preparing for the trip to France Field where a stub mast of but 60 feet in height hasS been erected. Device Sent to Panama. She made tests at Lakehurst and the device was sent by ship to France Besides the stub mast, the de- vice consists of motor truck on which the tail end may be attached, which permits the large aircraft to swing around on the ground and not high in the air as do the tall mooring masts in common use elsewhere. The Navy Department had been in communication by radio at practically all times since her takeoff. At noon she was reported east of Cape Charles, Va., and according to the reports she was traveling between 40 and 50 nauti- cal miles an hour. She sent a message that she expected to pass over Nassau, Bahama Islands, about midnight, and ehe is expected by the Navy Department CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLUMN 2. _ Foe of School Smock Is Asked to Resign Detroit, Mich., Feb. 26 (A.P.).— Thomas F.

OTHERS IN TORCH DEATH, SECOND LETTER STATES Writer Will End Life to Shield Aids in Killing of Jersey Woman, He States. JEALOUSY IS CONSIDERED Special to The Washington Post. New York, Feb. 26.—An itch for seif- expression, or an impulse to taunt his searchers, prompted the slayer of Mar- garet Brown, Park avenue governess, to write a second note. And the missive, delivered Saturday, suggested to the puzzled New Jersey authorities today that more than one person took part tn the burning murder last Monday night at a hot dog stand near Bernardsville Although the text was withheld and Prosecutor F. J. Bergen, of Somerset County, denied knowledge of it, it was had on information from a reliable quarter that the writer threatened sul- cide “to save the others.” This was the first intimation that more than one indiv‘'’ual had a hand in burning the comely 41-year-old for- mer Buffalo woman tutor. Without accepting it as true, police engaged on the bewildering case considered a the- ory that two men and a woman were with Miss Brown at the time she was beaten and left a human torch, on the snowy ground behind the hot-dog shack. It recalled to police—who were, inci- dentally, heartened by the week-end’s developments—the blue sedan bearing two men and a woman, all apparently agitated, which was driven into Ber- nardsville about ten minutes after CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, COLUMN 8 Wolves Killing Sheep As Storm Hits Turkey Constantinople, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—The severe storm that has swept Turkey for | the last two days showed no signs of abatement _— today.

A 50- mile wind and intense cold has ren- dered relief work extremely difficult. The heavy snowfall in Thrace has disrupted the service of the Simplon- Orient Express and all railway com- munication with western Europe has been interrupted. 2 AVIATORS MISSING AFTER FLIGHT TO SEA Second Plane Searches Ocean Off New York in Vain; Boats Aid. Curtiss Field, N. Y., Feb. 26 (A.P.).— Grave fear for the safety of two fliers who took off yesterday afternoon for a short flight over the ocean with a four-hour gasoline supply were felt to- night when search by air and water revealed no traces of them. Reports were that the pair—Walter Hendricks, pilot and a Dave Stagge. i, address unknown—had planned to fly over an incoming steamer so _ that Staggert might drop a message of wel- come to a friend returning from Europe. A plane which searched the ocean for an area of 70 miles off New York, Coast Guard cutters and naval vessels in the vicinity, all failed to find any trace of the plane today. No incoming vessels reported sighting the plane, and only two personr saw it take off. 1 Killed, 2 Burned By Toledo Oil Blast Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—One man is known tc have been killed and two others seriously burned, one of them probably fatally, as the result of a terrific explosion at the Sun Ot) plant which rocked half of Toledo early to- night. One body was recovered from the wreckage *~- badly burned that identifi- cation was impossible. The two men who were brought out alive were Vern Sinclair, whose condition is declared extremely critical, and Earl Miller. Miller probably wil) recover. Firemen declared at midnight, after fighting the fire for five hours, that it was under control.

PRO-BRITISH CHARGE MEETS FLAT DENIAL ‘Secretary Held Now to Be More of “Irreconcilable”’ Than “Internationalist.” By CARLISLE BARGERON, Secretary of Commerce Hoover plans jin the near future to state his position on foreign affairs, it is learned from a source very close to him. And in doing so he is expected to turn definitely against the League of Nations, which he once advocated, and not to regard the World Court any too highly. In .fact, it is understood, that the Secretary plans to take a leaf from the book of the radical antileague people, and declare his adherence to the prin- ciples laid down in Washington’s fare- well address—no entangling alliances. The Secretary's view is to be made Known, it is understood, in pretty much the same way as his presidential can- didacy was evolved. He is to be asked by some one friendly to his candidacy just what his foreign views are. It !s all expected to take place in time to bear on the Ohio fight with Senator Willis, who without directly referring to the Secretary, has already made his reputed “internationalism” a fairly well- defined isSue. Mr. Hoover plans to explain, it 1s un- derstood, that at the time he went the support of Woodrow Wilson and advocated the league he regarded it as @ great experiment, having such a noble purpose and promising so much good that its undertaking wel! warranted. to was Changes in 12 Vears. But in the some twelve years that have followed he has had an opportu- nity to see the practical workings of it, and as @ result he has become con- vinced that America’s destiny will be best shaped by avoiding such. commit- ments. His World Court view is pretty much the same, it is understood, as that which has kept this country out of the inter ational tribunal, although ing it on record as willing to join. That is, it is said that he favors this country taking part in such interna- tional moves as the World Court, pro- vided the national interests are securely safeguarded, or participation with res- ervations, In brief, according to the authorita- tive representations of his present atti- tude, his foreign outlook is now the same as that of President Coolidge.

Bridegroom Aged 6; Bridesmaid Is 76 Special to The Washington Post, Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 26.—Figures are not supposed to lie—and that makes this a true story. A 6-year-old Mil- waukee youth will be married on Feb- ruary 29 to an 18-year-old girl, and a 76-year-old woman will be the brides- maid. The. bridgegroom, William Grimm, who insisted he.was only 6 years old by virtue of having a birthday every leap year since February 29, 1904, was duly registered under that age in the marriage application by the clerk of the license bureau. His grandmother, Mrs. Augusta Winters, 76, will act as brides- maid.

Plot Involves Women. > Chicago, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—Within 24 hours of yesterday's spectacular holdup of a Grand Trunk train on the south- western outskirts of Chicago, the police tonight announced that one arrested suspect had confessed his share of the robbery, implicating seven men, includ- ing two railroad workers, More than $17,000 of the $133,000 loot was recovered and 25 suspects, includ- ing 5 women, were arrested in severa) raids, the police said. Virtually all were connected with the holdup, the police reported. The man who confessed was named as William Donovan. He was reporved to have told police that he and five others held up and robbed the train while the two unnamed railroad work- ers supplied them with information, en- abling them to board the train which carried funds to meet the pay rolls of four Harvey factories. Harvey is an in- dustrial suburb on the Southwest Side. While those itn custody were held tin- communicado tonight, the police, who bagged the suspects in a series of ralds, said it was through the ready admis- sions of a woman, Mrs. Donovan, wife ‘of William, that the most important in- | formation concerning the train holdup was learned. Mrs. Donovan, the police, said her husband was a principal in tho $135,000 robbery of the same train near the same spot of yesterday’s holdup which took only six minutes and was executed without a single untoward in- cident against the bandits. From her information. the police announced they raided the home of “Limpy Char- ley” Cleaver, on the South Side, where the 817,000, in addition to 8600 in bonds, and five women and three men, including Cleaver, were arrested. Yesterday’s robbery was swift and dramatic, closely resembling in its exe- cution the train robberies of dime- novel fame. The train was stopped by a “passenger” at St. Marias, not a scheduled stop. As it slowed down, six men attired in Khaki overalls and masked, sprayed the train with an en- filade of shots from sawed-off shotguns, forcing the passengers and the crew of the mail coach to a rear coach. Then the mail car was bombed and CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, COLUMN 6. asserted MIAN, OBEYING POLICEMAN, !

All parties in the Iceland Parliament have agreed to the desirability of can- celing the present treaty of personal union with Denmark, thereby obtain- ing complete independence. The movement for cancellation of the treaty, which is not revokable until 1940, is partly due to Iceland’s wish to have her representation abroad in her own hands. Ing *)*) O4ee Iceland is united with Denmark by a personal bond of union under the gov- ernment of King Christian X.

(Associated Press.) Orville Wright, ploneer aviator, ex- plains in an article written for publica- tion in the United States Air Services Magazine that he is sending the orig- inal 1903 Wright airplane to the British National Museum rather than keep it in this country “because of the hostile and unfair attitude shown toward us by the officials of the Smithsonian Insti- tution.” Wright laid to the institution the be- ‘| ginning of “a subtle campaign” to take from him and his brother Wilbur credit for certain scientific calculations and give this credit to the late Prot. Samuel P. Langley, one-time secretary of the institute. Expressing regret that he felt his course necessary, Wright declared he did so with the belief that the work of him and his brother “will be impar- tially Judged and will receive whatever credit it is entitled to.” “While Prof. Langley was secretary of the Smithsonian al} of the relations be- tween that institution and ourselves were friendly,” Wright declared in his article. “At that time Wilbur and 1 were unl- versally given credit not only for hav- ing made the first fight, but for having produced the first machine capable of flight and for scientific research from which the first machine sprang. “Our 1903 machine was based en- tirely on our own scientific tables and none other, “Langley’s published work in aero- dynamics consisted in measurements of air pressures on flat surfaces only. By an entirely different method we had made measurements of a great number of cambered surfaces, as well ag flat surfaces.

WHECK OF BROOKS FORD PLANE FOUND TALE MILE AT oth Flivver Is Sighted Off the Coast at Sebastian, Florida Town. WING TIP VANISHES UNDER HEAVY WAVES _ May Be Carried Away; Body Is Not Seen. Sebastian, FPia., Feb. 26 (A.P.).—The Ford flivver plane, which feil into the sea last night while Harry Brooks was piloting it to Miami was found today partly submerged a half mile off shore near here. Such a stiff northeast wind was blowing, however, that it was be- lieved it would be many hours before it could be recovered and brought to shore. ’ Three seaplanes from Miami sighted the diminutive airplane about noon and Maj. M. K. Lee and Capt. Harry Rogers. who were in the planes, said they plainly made out the name Ford, also the number. Later two fishermen went out in a “sea skiff” and tried to throw @ rope over the airplane, but the rough sea forced them to put back. The sea planes reported that the tall only was above water, but the fisher- men said that it was the tip of a wing that could be seen. The sea was 680 muddy that even the fishermen, Theo- 'dore Davis and Kar] Schurmann, could ‘not make out the cockpit. C. FP. Bow- man, of the Ford branch at Jackson- ville, had stated that Brooks was strap- /ped in the plane when he left Titus- ville late yesterday and undoubtedly 'would be found still fastened to his | plane. Doubt Body is There. | | The fishermen, employes of Sembler & Semblier. wholesale fish dealers of Sebastian, expressed the opinion, how- lever, that the cockpit did not contain | a body, although they could not be cer- | tain. The water where the plane was seen is about FO feet deep, and the lo- cation was about fovr miles north here and half a mile off a marshy | shore The seaplanes, which had been de- layed by. fog. arrived from Miami! #!t 11:40 and tound the flivver plane in a few minutes. After reporting they went on to Fort Plerce to send a flat boat back in an effort to recover the Ford plane. It was belleved that it would tuke tour or five hours to get a boat here from Fort Plerce and efforts were made to find one itn Sebastian that would be suitable.

Langley Plane Changed. “These reports were published in spite of the fact that many changes severa] of them of fundamental im- portance, had been Made at Ham- mondsport,” Mr. Wright declared “This machine restored back to its | original form with much new material, bet. ere |; the old having been mutilated or de- stroyed at Hammondsport, was placed in the National Museum with a false! label, saying that it was the first nan- carrying aeroplane in the history of the world capable of sustained free flight and that it had been successfully flown at Hammondsport, June 2, 1914, “Following the controversy on this subject three years ago the old label was removed and a new one still con- taining false and misleading statements was put in its stead.” In spite of what he termed “this long continued campaign of detraction,”’ Wright kept silent, he said. vith the thought that any one investigating would find and expose the facts The article declared an effort has been made without success, to have the matter in- vestigated within the institution itself “I have publicly expressed the wish that some national scientific society or other disinterested body make an im- partial investigation of my charges against the Smithsonian,” Wright said “To this there has been no response “In sending our original 1903 machine to the.science museum, London, I do so with the belief that it will be im- partially Judged and will receive what- ever credit it is entitled to. I regret more than any one else that this course was necessary.” Fine Arts to rere Memorial to Wrights Plans for the Wright memorial to be erected at Kittyhawk, N.

New York, Feb. 26 (A.P:).—An offer to define an “aggressor nation” to hasten ratification of the proposed in- ternationa] agreement to end war was made in a letter to President Coolidge made public today by a group of promi- nent men. The signers included former Secre- tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, William Allen White, Dr. 8S. Parkes Cadman, Maj. Gen. John F. O'’Ryan, Samuel Colcord, George Haven Putnam, Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster and Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale. Lack of a definition acceptable to France, Great Britain and the United States threatens to wreck negotiations toward adoption of the agreement, the letter asserts. “The one way to avert failure,” it continues, “is by the discov- ery and adoption of a definition of the aggressor nation in war which would effectively define and identify the ag- gressor nation and at the same time be acceptable to the governments joining the treaty.” Metal Trades Union Official Speaks Here a radical difference in the American at- titude toward the State, have made the American trades union a thing apart from the labor movement in Europe. in policy and purpose, John P Frey, secretary-treasurer of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, yesterday told an audience at the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church.

They point out that Gov. Vic Do- nahey, of Ohio, owes his success as a vote-getter to the fact that™he is con- structive and not destructive, and that he never makes attacks on the Repub- licans an important feature of his cam- paigns. They do the attacking and he gets the votes. The same applies to Gov. Smith, the greatest vote-getter in the party's history in New York State, it is noted. Smith does not waste his time planning general assaults against his political opponents, but is constant- ly being attacked, criticized, heckled along political lines by the Republicans, and seemingly grows in power and pub- lic estimation in direct proportion to the severity of these political attacks. Political Abuse Opposed. Thus, the Democratic leaders who would like to apply the Smith and the Donahey methods on a nation-wide scale and reap the benefit are by no means convinced that it will be good policy to make the present campaign a basicly destructive campaign of criti- cism and political abuse.

Robinson has had the unique dis- tinction of having been a representa- tive, governor of his State and United States senator within the period of two weeks. While serving as a member of Congress here in 1912 he was elected governor. He resigned from Congress on January 14, 1913, to be inaugurated governor the following day. On Jan- uary 28 he was elected to the Senate. Representative at 30. Prior to this he had served continu- Ously in the House of Representatives since his election in November, 1902 He began his service in the House at the age of 30, and is now 55. He was born at Lonoke, Ark., August 26, 1872. and his early life was spent in the rural district where he was educated in the rural schools before going to the Unil- versity of Fayetteville, Ark. He was elected a member of the Arkansas Genera] Assembly in 1894 and was ad- mitted to the bar in September, 1896, after studying law at the University of Virginia. He later became a member of the law firm of Trimble & Robinson at Lanoke and proved a successful advo- cate and obtained a lucrative practice. Robinson is an aggressive fighter on the floor of the Senate. His intense in- terest in the cause he is advocating sometimes carries him to impassioned eloquence, and in the heat of debate he is often merciless to his opponent. But he fights fairly and above board, and if. in the stress of argument, he has said things which he himself regards as in any way unjustified he is usually the first to retract and make amends. Although Robinson works hard he gets genuine enjoyment out of such time as he can spare for recreation. He likes golf and duck shooting. Claims for Senater Walsh. The dark horse prospects of Senator Walsh, of Montana, are linked with major considerations of the Democratic party rather than with the oil inves- tigations in which Walsh has played such a conspicuous part. With respect to the latter, this issue was tried out against President Coolidge and the Re- publican administration in 1924 and did not bring anticipated results, for the voters continued to flock to the Re- publican banner, and John W. Davis got only the so-called minimum 136 elec- toral votes. So the Democratic leaders figure that if this issue failed to im- press the voters at a time when it was red hot it is not now likely to prove the medium for necessary Democratic strength. Besides, there is division of opinion among Democratic chieftains as to whether it is good general policy for the Democrats to make attacks on the Republicans the basis or major feature ‘of the coming campaign. This does not mean that there is any thought of sparing the Republicans, but there are many.who feel that attacks on the op- position should constitute the trim- —— NOONDAY LENTEN SERVICES B. F.

Would Be Fatal to Party. The Democratic party, according to, this line of Democratic reasoning, can not afford to be branded for the next half century with the distinctive mark of bigotry or religious intolerance. In other words, if it goes before the coun- try that the Democratic party has de- clined to nominate Smith because of his religion, the party may just as wel’ expect to go out of business for decades ' self i candidate at Houston will be in a more! ‘nomination, to come, .because Reput'icans through- | out the country tn local as well as in State and national elections will point to the fact that the sign, “No Catholics | need apply.” has become part and par- cel of the Democratic doctrine, indorsed and countersigned at Houston. Obviously the party can not afford that, it is pointed out. In order to prevent the expected Houston squabble from degenerating into a veritable Dem- ocratic calamity from which the party might never recover, it may be neces- sary to spike the idea that the religious test was the reason for Smith’s defeat. In order to accomplish this, and at the same time to give genuineness to the prohibition issue, the suggested way out of the impasse would be to nomi- nate a dry Catholic. Walsh is the dry Catholic dark horse at the convention. This is the way the matter is outlined by those who waht to protect the party against anticipated ill effects of a Houston deadlock. Walsh has friends and supporters and has been in the public eye since he first came to the Senate in 1913. He is now serving his third term. He is generally regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in Congress and has been interested in international as well as national affairs..

The Hull appeal in the event of a deadlock. In the first place, he comes from a doubtful State.

This latter fact is said, if Hull's chances should become propitious. It would not be a question of nominating a man will be stressed, at nessee would qualify as a border State rather than a Southern State.

If Smith gets Hull is spoken of as a possible nominee for Vice President.

Baker, Secretary of War in Wilson’s Cabinet, is a dark horse who could have been among the favorites had he so desired. But he has taken himself off the betting list by refusing to become a candidate and by indicat- ing that he regards Gov. Smith of New York as a great executive. Baker, there- fore, is a long-shot outsider who might be appealed to tn case of a hopeless deadlock and who would then decide whether or not he thought it worth while to accept the honor of becoming the party’s sacrifice »this coming No- vember. I talked with Baker a week or so ago the position he occupies and found that he is very frank and out- spoken about it. He will not, of course, say what he would do if the nomina- tion were offered to him because he naturally does not wish to foreclose such develoy ents as might result from am unexpected turn of the wheel at the convention. But he regards Smith as the logical candi- date and it. is safe to say that Baker will do his utmost to promote harmony In the interest of party success. He has aiways been looke' upon as a man with a broad common-sense view of big problems and a discerning mind that eliminates irrelevant matter and gets down to brass tacks. Furthermore Baker 1s credited with being prone to consider the future as well as the he did make it quite clear that} thoroughly understood and appreciated | judgment, as time goes on, Baker’s friends believe. And Baker’s growth in popular esteem is expected to keep pace with that more appreciative understanding. In the second place, public serftiment later on may be less hostile to the idea of men gaining their livelihood through legal service to big corporations. Baker, like Charles Evans Hughes and other distinguished lawyers, is engrossed in the legal services he is rendering to big corporations in the State of Ohio. No one suggests that this should be a po- litical handicap in any sense, but the present fashion is to exploit such mat- ters in political campaigns, and a nat- ural, common sense change from this present-day practice is looked for- ward to. Anyway, Baker when I saw him was deeply engrossed in his law work and not letting his mind dwell on his chances for the nomination under any circumstances that might develop. He looks just as he looked when he was at the helm of the War Department in the stirring war days—not a day older. He is 56 and was born at Martinsburg, W. Va. He will go to the convention as one of Ohito’s delegates and will have a controlling voice in guiding the Buckeye delegation, Young Ideal Dark Horse. In case the Houston convention brings so much dissension and party strife that all shades of Democratic political opinion will leave a bad taste, | there is a possibility of bringing in a ' im-~ } mediate present in deciding on ques-| tions Of nolicy. Better Chance in 1932, Perhaps. There is a general impression among Baker’s friends—and he has of them—that Mr. Baker | believes chance to aspire to the Nation’s high- est honor may come four years hence, or eight years hence, rather than in providing the present year does prove too permanently disrupting to the future prestige of his party.

Owen D.

Young, according to his friends who know him best and have seen him at work. His iack of political experi- ence, they say. is more than compen- sated for by the fact that he is a New York Democrat and might, under propi- tious circumstances, inherit some of Smith’s political strength, especially as he is a genuine admirer of the New York Governor, and those policies which Smith has had enacted into law fo! the benefit of the people of the Empire State. Liked as Compromise Candidate, Though there is nothing to warrant the belief that Mr. Young has eve thought seriously about the possibility of figuring as a dark horse at the con- vention there has been discussion of him as a possible compromise candi- date and he has figured in straw’ votes taken to test public opinion.

VERY American worthy of the name, who is awake to the true mean- ing and origin of the anthem entitled “The Star-Spangled Banner” will forever repudiate it, as an utterly unworthy medium for express- ing one of the noblest of sentiments—patriotism and love for our glorious country. Discoverer, the Norseman Leif The spiritual ideals upon *which this nation was based, through its Ericson, in the year 1000; through its founder, George Washington, in 1776, and through its preserver, Abraham Lincoln, in 1865—these spiritual ideals can, never be voiced through a song whose music was not written by an American, but was borrowed from a ribald, sensual drinking song, ““Anacreon in Heaven,” and whose words ex- press vicious hatred of our natural brother and Anglo-Saxon comrade; Britain. Never has Congress, and never will Congress, legalize an anthem w! sprang from the lowest qualities of human sentiment. uch God forbid it. Americans today are awaking to the evil influence exerted upon their children, as well as upon themselves, by ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,” a poem born of intense hatred of Great Britain and wedded to a barroom ballad composed by a foreigner. pressed by the third verse: For example, consider the sent: mr»Mrnt BAW eet S @€X- “And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution ; No refuge could save , Che hireling and slave trom the terror of flight or the gloom otf the grave.” Do these phrases fittingly express the spirit of America, the n CO whom the longing world looks today for moral and spiritual Leadership, with Christ at the head? Shall we shout, in violent, unsingable cadences, of ce ) . * . ee c the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,” and reter today to our democratic partner in Anglo-Saxondom — Great Britain — as “the foe’s haughy host,” which “in dread silence reposes?” Shall that “carnal mind,” which St. Paul declared was “enmity against God,” and which has ever op- posed the progress of enlightment and truth, be longer allowed to express its qualities of hate, sensuality, and bloody violence, through “The Star- Spangled Banner?” God forbid! Shall such seeds be planted in the budding minds of America’s school children? The spirit of America is not suitably expressed by hatred, nor by the horrors of war, which all nations today are praying may be abolished. America’s national anthem, which should be composed, as well as written, by Americans, should ex : press the same noble animus as that which Wash- ington voiced, when he said, “Let us raise a standard, to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hands of God,” and by Lincoln, when he uttered the high resolve that “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” The work to be accomplished in this hour is a transcendent one. Pagan idolatry can never be enthroned in America. The effort to do this is being vigorously assailed by Christ, the “King of kings and Lord of lords.” The government was, is, and always will be upon his shoulder. The downfall of European autocracy, which has striven to its utmost to trail in the dust America’s spiritual standard, is becoming apparent. Again we affirm,» America was founded upon spiritual ideals. Christ, at his second appearing, through his representatives, has planted his standard of spiritual dominion on the soil of the United States, and he is ever-present to defend it. The end of the reign of ignorance, superstition, serfdom, and allegiance to any for- eign ruler has come. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess the spiritual fact in regard to America. Christ, at this, his second coming, has forever established his kingdom on earth. He has ordained his disciples of the twentieth century, who are proving that their power is in the exercise of spiritual dominion, with which God endows His children, who obey His law of Truth and Love. From the pages df America’s historic record, “The Star-Spangled Banner” is today being erased by fiat of God. In its place will be revealed America’s true national anthem, written and composed by Americans, penned by Christly inspiration and illumined with spiritual light. SR Sr er = * = en POE” te Te

FLOOD CONTROL, Congress has been in session nearly three months, and it is not much nearer agreement upon a plan for controlling the Mississippi River than it was on December 1. Progress has been made, however, to- ward solving the problem of financing flood control. Sentiment in and out of Congress has steadily consolidated be- hind the proposition that the Nation should bear the entire cost of the work. President Coolidge has finally adopted after having loyally sup- ported the proposal embodied in Gen. Jadwin’s report, which would have re- quired the lower Mississippi States to contribute 20 per cent of the cost. Mr. Coolidge is said to be willing to cohcede that the entire first cost should be borne by the Government, but he holds that maintenance costs should be partly borne by the States. He sug- gests that the first thing to be done is to agree upon an engineering plan, leaving the question of financing to be settled later, after more thorough in- vestigation. Intimately connected with the prob- lem of the engineering plan is the ques- tion of organization. Who is to build these great works? The chief of engi- neers insists that the work should be under his charge, with the Mississippi River Commission as an advisory body. The Reid bill provides for a commis- sion composed of Army and civilian engineers, to have complete authority, and under this bill the Mississippi River Commission would be abolished. Since this undertaking is the greatest engineering problem that has ever con- fronted the human race, and since the Nation can not afford to risk failure after spending $1,000,000,000 in at- tempting to contro] this oceanic river. it seems wise to insist that all the engi- neering ability of the United States should be available for planning and executing the work. The country’s engi- neering ability is not confined to the Gen Jadwin is enamored of the plan he has devised, but it is not certain that his plan is the best. It should be subjected to the scru- tiny of engineers who are independent of the War Department. Further investi. gation is necessary before it will be safe to adopt any specific plan. The outcome will probably be a composite plan em- bodying the best thought of many en. gineers, and taking into account some 3 factors that have not yet been explored. i: ‘The practical method to pursue is to create a commission of engineers, buth military and civil, with full authority and responsibility to devise a plan .nd execute the work. While this work is under way Congress can go into the ' financial side of the problem. Time will | bé-wasted if Congress attempts to pass 4 | upon engineering plans. It knows nothing ' of the physical problems involved, and “- hy rs never will be competent to solve them. .. The best it can do is to draft the ability ' that can handle this work, and then _ give it full authority to go ahead. The ' commission should have nothing to do ' with financing its plan. That is a task ' that Congress must perform. 2 2 ‘ba S au Nah! ‘ i rf 6 4 NOVEL SCHOLARSHIPS.

It ig expected that one year will be spent abroad without interruption. Obviously the benefit to be gained through these unique scholarships depends largely upon the type of men selected to receive them. This holds true, however, with scholarships of every sort. The Zilph Hayes Palmer award promises to be of importance in several ways. Those who through it will have the opportunity to mingle with other nationalities undoubtedly will have received a broadening and liberal education as a result. THE COAL RATE CONTROVERSY. The Interstate Commerce Commission has rejected the proposed cut in freight rates on cargo coal between points in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee and the Great Lakes. Any other decision would have been, as the commission stated, a limitation of the commission’s power to “prescribe just and reasonable charges for the transportation of traffic.’”’ ‘The voluntary reduction which the Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk & Western and Louisville & Nashville wished to make intended to offset a previous decision of the commission reducing the rate between the cen- tral competitive coal fields and the Great Lakes. In that sense it was certainly ‘designed to nullify a ruling in a case to which the South- ern roads had been a party. The lake cargo case is no new issue before the Interstate Commerce Commission. It has been fought out before that for years. Elaborate hearings have been held at intervals, The Southern fields enjoyed at one time what their competitors in the central unfair Was body competitive rate advantage. failed later if field the Kiver since there to uphold the Northern contention, but has been war not only before the commission The Southern roads offered voluntary cut exactly equal to the tral field, and senators from the Southern States have repeatedly charged that the com- mission was or Was going to be packed against them, The result has been that the Interstate Com- merce Commission is Judged almost solely by the rela- of individual members toward ly.

These more general and important duties may in the end be neglected, if lake cargo coal is to be the measure by which all appointees must qualify for a place on the commission, and the Phe ita because of a sectional row involy- ing only a smal! percentage of the population. pro- hundreds other country as a whole be THE GASOLINE TAX, The tax on gasoline, used of producing revenue in al] but two States now, may be tested in the United States Supreme Court as the result of the decision in terming the levy uneonstitutional under the fourth amendment. The court’s opinion is ex- pected to permit entry into the Federal courts of a question which has heretofore been set- tled by State courts in each instance, The discriminatory features of such legisla- tion, emphasized in the Illinois decision, have long been used as an argument the oppo- nents of the gasoline tax. The identica) issue is presented in Maryland, where an effort has been made to force a referendum on the lateral road tax which brings the levy on ,asoline in that State up to 4 cents a gallon. The inter- est of automobilists in the District of Colum- bia lies in the fact that it was in order, to ob- tain reciprocity from Maryland that the tax was placed on gasoline here. Abolition of the tax in the neighboring State might result in similar action in Washington. Despite the opinion of the lllinois court and as a means Illinois by ' opponents of such legislation generally. it is open to question whether the gasoline tax is discriminatory in the required legal sense, lt is true that users of gasoline cars pay a greater share of the tax burden than those operating steam or electric automobiles, but the number of the last named is relatively so small that it is hardly worth while taking them into account. The benefit of good roads, built, improved and maintained to a large extent with money obtained from the tax on gasoline, is shared more largely by the owners and drivers of gasoline motor cars than by any other class. ‘They should bear their fair share o? the cost of providing highways suitable for convenient and rapid automobile travel. The greatest apparent danger in the gaso- line tax-is that it will be made ruinous. Sev eral States, finding the tax both profitable and easy of collection, have made it the medium for imposing burdens that the automobilist should not bear alone. The rate of taxation has risen by degrees until in some cases it amounts to as much as 25 per cent of the cost of gaseline. Such conditions naturally tead to revolt and increase the number and strength of those allied against a form of taxa- tion which. when equitably and sane!yv applied, results in revenue and progress. NEED OF WOMEN POLICE, Members of the House committee on the District of Columbia took advantage of the absence of other members on Thursday and wrecked the bill relating to the Policewomen’s Bureau. It was a typical small-town trick, performed by small-bore politicians who bap- pen to hold positions affecting the welfare of the National Capital. These bumpkins, like all rustic boors, guffaw at the idea of a police- woman, and have as little conception of metro- politan problems as they have of their own duties. - Chairman Zihlman is warranted in holding another meeting of the committee for the purpose of giving decent consideration to the policewoman’s bill, with a view to pressing it The Policewomen’s Bureau spite of official neglect and disconragement. It is a necessary arm of municipal government, | especially in the National Capital, where a large floating population composed largely of girls and women requires protection.

This detention house, instead of being a ‘‘jail,”’ would be in reality a temporary home for girls and women under the care of the Police- women’s Bureau. The process of restoring these persons to their homes or to self-sus- taining places would be a revelation to legis- lators and anything but shocking to their delicate sense of the propricties, Washington needs the services of women police and will eventually ‘have them, on a satisfactory basis of rank and pay, so that they can not be swept away at the whim of local authorities. Congress is slow in grasp- ing the idea of rescue and reform work as & substitute for jails and workhouses, but some progress has been made; and if the small- town constabulary now preponderant in the House will be swept aside by the members of Congress Who really understand the needs of a city, the long-delayed improvement in the treatment of human flotsam and jetsam can be hastened. MORE PROHIBITION, The art of conversation is said to be already but it if the by becomes a may become more so bill Representative Sproul, of Kansas, introduced last week law. . Under its terms it would re agaiust the law for one individual to give an- the for making any not only address of a liquid other or more bootlegger containing recipe than | one-half of 1 per cent alcohol, but the violator himself would be a bootlegger under the act. lmagine the curb that such a law upon many a social gathering! would place There are Many oceasions when discussion of prohibi- tion the or its evils constitutes a topic that lasts whole evening through.

Iut with their share of the responsibility thus sud- denly removed it can hardly be expected that they will spend much more money in the con- tinuation of their efforts.’”’ Such a statement is silly. The railroads will continue to make grade crossings as safe as possible. If there were no other reasons, the railroads would continue thetr safety-first cam- paigns because of the fact that their patronage depends to a considerable extent good will they are able to build up. The Supreme Court ruling, on the other hand, once it has become generally known, should tend to make individual’ automobilists more careful. A motor car can be stopped in a comparatively short distance. A train requires hundreds of feet in which to come to a ecom- plete halt. An automobile can be maneuvered around a danger zone. A train is confined strictly to its right of way. Since the Supreme Court has ruled that entrance upon a right of way is made at the individual’s own risk, the public should léarn that it is its business to avoid a train. dollars upon the A dictator “with the powers of a Mussolini’’ has been suggested as the cure for the oil! in- dustry by a former president of the Texas Co. The question that suggests itself is why the oil industry should be forced by a dictator to do what is for its own good? The objeets sought are cooperation and the exercise of common sense. There ought to be enough men in any industry with such qualities to bring about results, and if there are not then no other means can prevent it from going to ruin. G. Herb Palin, highest priced slogan writer in the world, is dead. Among his epigrams are “Safety First,” ‘Eventually, why not now?’’ “Thea dairy cow, foster mother to the human race,” and “Let that foreign bubble burst, see America first.” For writing phrases such as these he was able to build up a national repu- tation among advertising men, and to earn a more than comfortable living. The man who produces a catchy phrase is a useful member of the business world. ” Representatives of the Republican party are at Kansas City and Democrats are on the way to Houston to make plans for the respective conventions.

Everyone longs to be of serv- ice to mankind. What greater benefit could you confer upon your fellow citizens than through your cooperation in this movement? Safe practices on the part of everyone would soon | reduce the number of traffic accidents which are a blot upon the fair name of this, the most beautiful Capital in the world. It is merely a question of everyone doing his part---of setting an example for those inclined to be careless and thoughtless. Why not organize a Safe Driving and Safe Walk- ing Club among your own little coterie of friends? Get each member to take solemn oath to become familiar with and observe faithfully all of the traffic laws---to have consideration for the rights of others and to practice courtesy and safety at all times. You would not only benefit yourself but you would be conferring a benefit upon the entire community. If you are a parent drill your children regularly in the practice of safety. You can’t start too young. Teach them to be careful just as you teach them to walk and talk, by constant repetition and, above all, by setting them a good example to imitate. Accidents can be prevented, as has been proven by other communities, through concerted effort. We can make Washington the “‘Safest’’ as well as the greatest Capital City on earth if you will do your part. It is your problem---your opportunity to accomplish something really worth while. Through this Safety Campaign the Washington Business Concerns whose names appear below are cooperating for your welfare. Lend them your full support. wa J. E. HURLEY Daily Delivery Main 6240 J.

GRIFFITH WITHDRAWS OFFERS TO JONES, H¢ Paulino Sees Victory Over Godfrey Spaniard Is Confident of Stopping Negro Tomorrow. Basque Woodchopper Gains Supporters as Bout Nears. 26 (A.P.)— OS ANGELES, Feb. Paulino Uzcudun will meet in George Godfrey a fighter who will tower over him by several inches, out- weigh him by 380 pounds or more and Outreach him by 4!,4 inches, yet the squat Basque woodchopper is confident he will fell his giant negro foe in their bout here Tuesday night. Paulino saw Godfrey stop Monte Munn, the big Nebraskan, in four rounds. That night he is reported to have said to his managers: “That’s one man (Godfrey) lick. Get him for me.” The Basque _ warrior, to 195 ounds and in superb condition, be- ives the fight will end early and that he will stop Godfrey as he stopped Harry Wills. l can down Paulino is a puzzling ring man and, it was evidenced in his train- ing sessions, a formidable one. He fights from a crouch, Keeping his body well protected. He wades uses either in to close quarters and hand, principally to the body, with devastating effect. As he phoots short, jolting lefts to the body, he turns his opponent around in posi- tion for a hard right cross to the head. General betting favors Godfrey, but he favor of the so-called “wise men” of the leather Sash ite game ieans to- ward the hardy Basque.

The other part of the elimination falls or. March 12, when Jack Sharkey, of Boston, will go up against Johnny Risko, the Cleveland rubber man. There is a possibility that the win- ners of these two bouts will be match- ed for a final elimination. However, the victors may be saved for two title affairs planned by Rickard for this year, one to oppose Tunney in June and the other to figure’ in another championship tilt in September. Delaney has been training for the forthcoming clash at Bridgeport, and advance reports indicate he will be in superb condition when he enters the} ring. Heeney conditioned himself the greater part of his training at At- lantic City, and with exception of a cut over his left eye, received while sparring last Friday, is reported to be in fine shape.

VON PARK, Fla., Feb. 26 (A.P.).— While major league players in oth- er Florida training camps halted their preparations for the season in ob- servance of the Sabbath today, the St. Louis Cardinals observed a momentous occasion, the forty-first anniversary ol Grover Cleveland Alexander. “Old Pete,” who shares with Jack Quinn, of the Athletics, the honor of being the oldest hurlers in major league circles, is beginning his seventeenth campaign in the big time and his mates gave him rousing acclaim today. Cancrete expressions of good will in neatly tied packages surrounded Alex’s plate when he sat down for breakfast, but his grin widened as he received hearty claps on the back and warm clasps of hands of teammates and friends as they wished him a successful season. Alexander, who today passed mark beyond which few major leagué players venture, paused in the ceremonious atmosphere to ad- vise his younger pitching contem- poraries on how to perpetuate their big league careers and reminisce on his years as a@ member of the Phillies, Cubs and Cardinals. n “IT attribute my long service with the Phillies, Cubs and Cardinals good control,” he said, “plus a pretty fair knowledge of wheer the ball ought to be pitched. “I have made it a point to study every batsman I face, and now 1! know just about what kind of balls to serve them to obtain the best results. By perfecting my control and knowing where to pitch to a majority of the bat- ters facing me, I seem to get by.’ On his forty-first birthday, Alexander had no thought of retirement. “If my control holds up, I expect to pitch several seasons more in the big leagues,” he declared’ today. to ling, naturally, but I find I can get nastics.” Alexander and Quinn are the two oldest major league pitchers in ac- tive service this year, as Walter Johnson, whe also” reaches his forty-first birthday this’ year, re- tired during the winter, Quinn’s exact age is not a matter of record or information. his Alexander, who began major league career with the Philadeiphia during Indoor Track Season Near Climax K. of C.

William , Agee e Wins In 10- Mile Marathon Central Faces Test Tonight In 2d Penn Tourney Game —— Capt. Burgess to Play Against La Salle Five at Philadelphia; Foul Shooting Factor in First Game Victory. HE Ceutral High School Basket- ball Team, which won its first game in the Penn tourney at Philadelphia, Saturday night, 30 to 18 over Northeast Catholic High School will be put to the test tonight at ‘% o’clock, when it engages the strong La Salle High School Team, of Philadel- phia, in its second game, Central had trouble with this same team last year and the experts predict that if the Mount Pleasant Five comes through tenight. it stands an excellent chance of again winning the Penn tourney. Some of the strongest teams in Cen- tral’s path to the title, are La Salle Doylestown, Pa., and the West Catholic High and Catholic High Fives both of Philadelphia. With an excep- tionally strong team, Doylestown ap- pears likely to reach the finals. Should Central defeat La Salle tonight, it will not play again un- til Thursday night. Central was slated to play Wednesday after- noon at 4 o'clock and again Thurs- day night, but Coach Bert Coggins and S. T. Kimble, Director of Ath- letics, protested on the grounds that such a schedule would force the Central players to miss too much time from their classes and consequently Central's demands were allowed. Capt. Forrest Burgess will be back in the line-up tonight and for the re- of th He was un- to play Saturday night because of boils on his arm. Sichard Castell filled the gap in commendable fashion, but with Burgess back Central will. present it. full strength. S. T. Kimble, who returned from Phil- adelphia, yesterday, declared that Northeast Catholic High School gave Central a battle during the first halt and were leading 11-10, at intermis- sion, The fact that Central made its first 7 foul tosses, while Philadelphia missed its first 5, kept it in the run- hing’. mainder abl. tourney. The turning ‘point for Central came in the last ten or twelve min- utes of play, when Burch, who was named on The Post's All-High Team, dropped in several baskets in quick succession, which broke the morale of the Northeast Catholic Team, and Central went on to win, b0-ad. La Salle, Central’s opponent tonight, also played in the opening round, de- feating Morristown High School, of New Jersey. La Salle exhibited great form in thi game.

LAN MACLENNAN closed its season in the Capital City Soccer League in a blaze of glory yesterday when it, defeated Rockville on the latter team’s fleld, 8 to 2. The game also closed the Capital City League season. By winning yesterday the Clan eleven completes the season with 14 victories and not a defeat or tie to mar its record. This is the best showing ever made by a soccer club in the District. The Scotchmen ended the season as they have play*d since the league opened early in October, passing and general teamwork predominating its play at all times, The only noticeabie weak spot in the Clan eleven early in the season was its defense but with the placing of John Graham at right back the Scotchmen solved this problem and as it is today is one of the most formid- able elevens in this section. Color was given the match yes- terday when Martin Grieve, canny manager of the champions, play- ed his first game of the season. Grieve took care of the goal keeping duties for his club and he did an ex- ceptionally good job of it. The two goals scored by Rockville late in the game were sure things and not slips on the part of Grieve. Aside from sensational shots Granger and Hodge, of the Clan, late ju the match, there was little to dis- tinguish it from anv other. The Rock- ville youngsters fought gamely and did no worse than was expected of them against the experienced champions, Clan MacLennan, Positions. Rockville.

True, the Old Dominion Boat Club, of Alexandria, went back across the bridge defeated by a 28-to-26 score, but It ‘left its mark as a clean fighting team in- scribed in the memories of the capacity crowd and the Eagle players. It is not often that the Anacostia Eagles, opposing a team from this sec- tion, find themselves a point behins with a minute and a half to play, but such was the case yesterday.

The pair came down from Vancouver, B C., eager for ring conquests, but short of money The game was flourishing in San Francisco, but it didn’t mean much to McLarnin and company. “Pop” brought his ch to officials of the Observa- tory Club. They looked the boy over (he was about 16 years old and weighed 11C pounds), and :nformed his man- ager that they wouldn't put him on— he looked too young and they were afraid he would get hurt.

HE recent agreement reached by the Navy-Princeton football rep- resentatives, by whfch these schools are to meet over a three-year |} period, beginning this year, is of spe- cial interest to local followers of high- school athletics and to Central enthu- Ssiasts in particular, in that two for- mer Central athletes may be pitted against each other before the three- game series is finished. Both these former Centralites—-Frank Blackistone and Weston Byng—were members of the 1925 eleven that won the local high school series without be- ing scored on, dropping but one game that year, the memorable one to Gon- zaga, Which Johnny Bozek pulled out of the fire late in the third period by a 55-yard dash for a _ touchdown. Blackistone, matriculating this year at Princeton Prep, was named all-New Jersey prep school center last fall and was deemed in a class by himself by every prep school coach in Jersey. is headed for Princeton next ye where he should continue the brilliant play that he has shown for the past several seasons and provided he makes the grade in his freshman year, he will be ready for the Navy game in 1929. NTRIES are slowly but surely com- ing in for the first annual track and field meet to be held and conducted this spring by the Devitt Prep School, according to the officials sponsoring the movement. The latest schools to signify their intentions of participating are the Riverside Military Academy of Gaines- ville, Ga., and the Marlan Military In- stitute of Marian, Ala. Two schools from the north have also sent entries in, namely, the Peddie School of Heightstown, N. J., and the Dean Academy of Franklin, Mass. The Gulf Coast Military Academy, of Gulfport. Miss., and the Sewanee Military Acad- emy, of Sewanee, N. C.. have already enrolled for the meet and incidentally were the first schools to answer the letters sent by D. L. “Count” Cornwell. they would face each other on the grid- iron at least in 1929 and 1930 under the present three-year agreement existing between Navy and Princeton. Both boys, in addition to their athletic abil- ity, are bound to make a host of friends at their respective schools, because of their sterling character and are sure to reflect credit on local high school athletics. Altogether, six members of Central’s 1925 eleven have made good in college or prep school football. In addition tc Blackistone and Byng, already men- tioned, Mort Wilner, captain and quar- terback of that team, made his letter this year as a quarterback on Pennsyl- Vania and “Augie” Roberts and Herman Lombard were seen in action at Mary- land last fall.

DO WE LOSE WEIGHT WHILE WE SLEBRY weight while he sleeps. He gains gans. If a man during his waking hours, at to hold his own. The proposition that the body loses weight during sieep is mot in accord- men. Farmers, when fattening hogs, try” to have. them sleep about two-thirds of! ance with the views of stock the time. Chicken fatténers keep their fowls in darkened rooms. They plan to have them sleep all the time except for short feeding periods. Experience seems to teach that animals tend to | put on weight while sleeping. Then let us see what is the evidence to the con- | trary. A patent lawyer with considerable training as an engineer, Mr. N. 5. Amstutz, kept a very careful detailed record of himself for several years, or rather, during the course of several years he kept such eral periods of several months each, He was equipped with accurate scales. He weighed himself many times a day and entered his weights in the record HOW TO KEEP WELL By DR. W. A. EVANS ‘He weighed his food and drink and his CERTAIN observer says manu loses | | weight during his walking bours. | | These statements are true after mak- gether gently, then dampen that ring | ing allowance for gains due and place ahother one on top. Press to food and drink and losses due to excre- | tions from the two great excretory or- loses weight while he sleeps he is bound to gain weight least | enough to make up the loss, if he is cially had he records for sev-. Aj excretions. He made detailed records of everything he did and everything of importance in his environment. All of this record was plotted on charts. One weighing was just before going to sleep and another was upon waking. Without exception he weighed less aft- er sleeping than he did when he went to bed. Does this prove that sleeping causes loss of weight? While sleeping nothing went into his body except comparatively dry air. Nothing left his body except expired air and sweat. Some body substance was used up in maintaining body tem- p@rsature and in carrying on respiration, hea ion and other vital processes. Had the-.gentleman weighed and analyzed the he expired, and espe- rmined how much and had he col- sweat he ex- moisture it cont lected and weighed creted he would have ted for all his loss of weight. during sleeping period. In all probability he’ slepp.ém air that was far too dry. His body, through breath and sweat, had the job of moistening the air of his room. Carrying out that job was responsible for the loss of weight. This observation opens up a line of thought. Would there have been loss of weight had the gentleman been sleeping in a greenhouse, where humid- ‘ity was constantly over 70? ‘ | How Many Can You Answer?

New York, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—The grad- ual expansion of the principal indus- tries, which has given a cheerful color to the business horizon since the be- ginning of the year, was continued last week, although there was considerable irregularity elsewhere. This “spotty” condition was due, in part, to the inter- ruption of the last two weeks by holi- day recesses, and partly to definite hes- itation in some sections. Th recent advance of the steel trade was maintained to a satisfactory de- gree, largely owing to expanding needs of automobile makers and continued railway and implement buying. Fur- ther advances in steel prices were made in the so-called independent group, fol- |g lowing increases recently by some of the United States Steel subsidiaries.

DOMESTIC OUTPUT LIGHT New York, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—The bond market last week settled into a series of the quietest sessions of the year. During the first two days traders were quite hesitant, owing to the approach of the holiday, and, later, preliminary announcement of the March 15 Gov- ernment financing caused a further disposition to limit commitments until further details were made known. Warnng of the approaching Treasury financing was given by the Federal Re- serve Bank which notified its mem- bers that an issue was expected. A fur- ther offer to exchange new securities for Third Liberty 44's which mature in September probably will be made in addition to the refunding of Treasury obligations which fall due at this time. The amount of Third Liberties now Outstanding is- $1,544,826,000, about $600,000,000 of them having been ex- changed for 31, per cent Treasury notes in a previous offer. Interest in international financing again was injected by announcemet of a $40,000,000 loan to the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, which will be tnarketed here shortly. The proceeds of th? bond Issue will be used to re- tual eertain of the province's existing debts. A large financing program by the Austrian government also is understood to be under way. The amount of the loan is estimated at #8100,- 000,000, part of which will be floated abroad. The proceeds will be applied to pparatus installed at Terre Haute and | improvement and reequipment of Aus- Peoria should prove a further source of/ trian railroads and public utilities. The revenue. CAPITALIZATION None fPns of one of the largest producers | referred stock N wave not expanded as rapidly as had been predicted. January Output Falls Of. January production, as reported by he Government, increased substantiaily over December, but fell off slightly from the Ja.uary figures of last year. Revenue freight loadings were below those of the preceding week, as well as those of one and two years ago. For the year to date gains have been re- corded only in grain and live stock loadings, but most of the decrease in other lines has been in coal, production of which was at a peak last year be- cause of the approaching strike. The textile industry showed some- what more irregularity thar in earlier weeks. Cotton goods were slower, while rayon and broad silks continued to be the leaders. Concern continued to be felt over the unemployment situation, the Depart- ment of Labor reporting factory em- ployment at the lowest since the spring of “922. The congestion of out-of-door workers, who gravitate to cities in the winter, showed some signs of improve- ment as spring approached. Grains Move Upward. Nonferrous metals moved generally downward in price, and further reces- sions in rubber were noted. Wheat, corn and oats showed an upward ten- dency. The recent cold spell was not be- lieved to have caused any damage to winter wheat, since the belt was well covered by snow. Needed moisture was received in the Central States, with a beneficial effect on the growing grain in that region. Wheat exports fell off sharply from the preceding week, which accounted in a measure for the ad- vance in price. In the retail trade somewhat better buying was reported from some sec- tions, and prospects were improved with the approach of the farm employ- ment season. The fact that retailers were calling for prompt deliveries was a cheering factor, particularly in the dry-goods trade. Little Change in Lumber. Little change was noted in the lum- ber industry, which has been expand- ing in anticipation of a brisk increase in building operations early in the spring. There was little change in the mon- etary situation. A decrease of §$91,- 090.000 in brokers’ loans was attributed in large part to the recent heavy liqui- dation of stocks. Bank clearings in the principal finan- cial centers decreased slightly from the preceding week, but recorded’ a mod- erate advance over the corresponding week of the year before.

OILS IN BETTER DEMAND New York, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—The Curb | Market was generally reactionary last week and, although there was some im- provement after the holiday, liquida- tion zuntinued in many sections of the ist. Weakness in the early days was influenced in large measure by selling of stocks on the “big board,” and the necessity of fiattening out a number of speculative peaks, Some wide movements were recorded, particularly in shares of the high- priced order. Safeway Stores, Royal Baking Powder and Newmont Mining were :.mong the most active issues in this category. Wild trading in Cor- tauds, Ltd., on the London Stock Ex- chang:, was reflected by some buying of the stock on the curb here. The ac- tivity was engendered by the declara- tion ~f a large dividend by the Eng- lish company. Other Rayon issues were stren:thened, temporarily, at least, by this *vidence of prosperity in the arti- ficial silk industry. Oil shares were in selective demand for special reasons and because of pre- dictions of a better year in the petro- leum trade. Vacuum Oil, on which a i100 per cent stock dividend is planned, had a food rise, and Gulf Oil respond- ed tO prospects of good earnings through large sulphur contracts. Utili- ties were not especially worthy of note, although a few issues followed a firm course. Coal stocks were weak. About ten new issues were admitted to trad- ing, .ncluding common stock of the Lehign Portland Cement Co. and the Western Massachusetts Co. Author Held as Red. Budapest.

Public utility profits of $2,012,874, which compares} Which have been particularly heavy in recent years, show signs of 1928. Such offerings to date have aggregated about $83,000,000, which compares with approximately $176,000,- 000 in the corresponding weeks of last year. It is believed that this dropping off is due largely to a lesser need for capital, resulting from the heavy flo- tations of the past. Recent agitation for an investigation of superpower pro- jects also is regarded as having had a bearing on the slowing up of public utility financing. Likewise, industrial and railway loans have been comparatively few and in small size so far this year, although last week's aggregate of new financing ran well ahead of the corresponding period of 1927. The week's total ran around $116,000,000 compared with the 1927 week's total of about $65,000,000. New offerings in the week before last approximated $86,000,000. All these re- lated weeks were of five days, having been interrupted by holidays. It was a dull week in the United States Government division, and foreign bonds, while continuing In a firm course, were less active than in other recent sessions, WALL STREET BRIEFS New York, Feb. 26 (A.P.).—Wall street has expressed interest in the consistent earning capacity of the Louisville Nashville Railroad. In four years the road has been able to show nearly $40,000,000 in surplus after divi- dends, and customarily adds as much to surplus as it pays to stockholders in dividends. The 1927 net income was $16,726,000, against $19,422,000 in 1926, $18,700,000 in 1925 and 614,132,000 in 1924. dwindling The recent selling movement in stocks is attributed to unfavorable cor- poration earnings statements, showed the influence of sion and severe competition, in Co. of New York. actors are listed as the possible threat of further credit ence of the sustained movement upon the money market.

STEEL BUYING IS ACTIVE | (Assoclated Press.) The Federal Reserve Board reported yesterday that industrial production and shipments of commodities by rail- roads “increased considerably” in Janu- ary from the low point reached at the end of 1927, The general level of wholesale com- modity prices, however, showed a slight decline, the statement added. An increase of 6 per cent in indus- trial production from December to Jan- uary reflected a larger output of manu- factures, particularly in fron and steel and automobiles, while the daily aver- age production of steel ingots increased by over 25 per cent in January. This ts the largest monthly increase since 1924, it was pointed out. Buying of stee) products by railroads and by the automobile and construc- tion industries also was active in Janu- ary, and notwithstanding the large vol- ume of production and shipments, un- filled orderg showed an increase during the month. Automobile production, which in De- cember was in smallest volume since 1922, increased considerably in Janu- ary, the board reported, and was only slightly smaller than in the same month of the preceding year. January building contracts exceeded those for the corresponding month last year, and awards during the first half of February practically were in the same volume 4s a year ago. Department store sales showed a de- cline, but sales of mail order houses were ebout 6 per cent larger than a year ago, The report stated that total loans and investments of member banks in lead- ing cities showed a decline of more than 200,000,000 for the four weeks ended February 15, adding that the de- cline almost entirely was in loans on securities, with this class of loans de- creasing by nearly $460,000,000 from the peak at the turn of the year.

The following information (transmitted by cable) is furnished by Dr. Francisco Ratio, Minster of Finance of tne Provence: The Province of Buenos Aires is the largest and most impor- tant Province of the Argentine Republic. 117,700 square miles, greater than the combined areas of the New England States and the State of New York, and a population in excess of 3,000,000, or about one-fourth of the entire population of the Argentine. The Province ranks first in population, in agricultural, stock raising and industrial development, and in railroad mileage. A separate Federal District (analogous to the District of Columbia, U. S. A.) containing the City of Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine Republic, adjoins the Province, its population of 2,000,000 providing a permanent and important market for food and other products of the Province. PURPOSE OF ISSUE: The proceeds of this issue of Bonds will be applied to the total redemption of the following outstanding issues: Extern ing Fund Gold Notes, dated January 1, 1926; 7% External Sinkin tion Loan of 1926, dated December 1, 1926; and 7% External oe solidation Loan of 1926, dated May 1, 1927. Said issues will be call ‘ next interest dates. This refunding operation will result in an immediate and appreciable saving in service charges on the Provincial funded debt. This issue of Bonds is authorized by Law No. 3944 of the Province of Buenos Aires of November 2, In addition, upon the redemption of the aforesaid three loans, these bonds will be specifically secured by a charge and lien on the Real Estate and Inheritance Taxes as well as the Renta Gen- eral Portions of the Commerce and Industry Tax and of the License Tax on alcoholic beverages, tobacco and playing cards, subject only to prior charges amounting annually to not more th, 12,366,000 paper pesos ($5,250,000). After deducting these annual prior charges from the combined calenlated revenues from said taxes for the fiscal year ending February 29, 1928, the remainder is equivalent to more than 9 times the annual service charges on the present issue. During the three fiscal years ended February 28, 1927, revenues from said taxes available for the annual service of these Bonds averaged more than 514 times service requirements. If for any fiscal year the annual revenues from said taxes available for the service of these Bonds should be less than five times the annual service charges, the Province covenants that at the request of the Fiscal Agents it will pledge receipts from other taxes in an amount sufficient to offset such deficiency. | The total funded debt of the Province upon completion of this financing will net exceed $256,500,000 or less than $86 per capita and the total wealth of the Province is estimated at over $6,000,000,000.

NEW JERSEY’S STATUS UNDER BILL EXAMPLE Points Out How Efforts to Bet- ter Conditions Have Been Blocked by Congress. If the people desire to see the pres- ent broadcasting structure wrecked the enactment of the redistribution clause sgreed upon by the House committee is the surest way for Congress to carry out that purpose, according to O. H. Caldwell, Federal Radio Commissioner from the Eastern zone. This is anamendment to the bill Passed by the Senate recently and now before the House, which would extend the life of the commission for another year, If the bill is not agreed upon by both houses by March 15 radio con- trol will revert to Secretary Hoover and the commission will become an appel- late body. - “Indeed, the radio listeners have had little so far at the hands of their rep- resentatives in Washington,” Mr. Cald- well said yesterday in a letter to Thomas F. Burley, manager of station WCAP, at Asbury Park, N. J.,” despite the earnest efforts of certain indi- viduals in Congress to solve this problem in its true radio aspects of real public service. Provided No, Funds. “After setting up a Radio Commis- sfon in 1927, Congress promptly failed to appropriate any funds on which such commission could operate, employ aids or experts or purchase necessary ap- paratus. To date three radio com- miasioners have received no salaries whatever. “And now, after a year of the com- mission, and three months of the pres- ent session of Congress, the Radio Commission is still without a quorum confirmed by the Senate, and so finds itself hampered on every hand—au- thority, funds, personnel and equip- ment—in its efforts to proceed with its carefully considered plans to bring good radio to every home in America.” The clause referred to by Mr. Cald- well would require an equal! division of powers, wave lengths and licenses in the five radio zones into which the country is divided. At the present time the bulk of the power and wave lengths are said to be found in the Eastern and Middie Western portions of the United States. Since the Southern zone, according to Mr. Caldwell’s calculations, has only 45,000 watts total power, this figure would also become the limit of power for the zone which includes New Jer- sey, the Eastern States and New Eng- land. As typical of what might happen elsewhere if such a redistribution is re- quired Mr. Caldwell pictures to the New Jersey broadcaster what the situation would be in the latter’s State. Pictures New Jersey Status. “With 3,200 watts available for all seventeen stations in New Jersey sev- eral alternatives would be offered” the Commissioner points out. All New Jersey stations might be closed down, except the two which undoubtedly have the largest audiences, WJZ and WOR. These stations, with powers and in- vestments respectively of (WJZ 30,000 watts, $500,000) and (WOR 5,000 watts, $175,000), could then be continued to serve the public, but with their powers cut to, say, 2,600 watts and 600 watts, respectively. So we would have: WJZ, 2,600 watts; WOR, 600 watts, and al other stations closed down. “Or, if it is assumed that the clause indicates that New Jersey must have its equitable proportion of the total num- ber of stations per zone (which is 93), one-fourteenth of 93 gives, say 7 sta- tions in New Jersey could then be watts among the present 7 largest sta- tions in Neew Jersey could then be divided proportionately as follows: WJZ, 1,920 watts; WOR, 320 watts; WPG, 320 watts; WLWL, 320 watts; WODA, 65 watts; WGL, 65 watts; WHAP, 65 watts, and all other stations closed down. “Similarly, in New York State WEAF end WGY would have to be cut to 5,000 watts each, WNYC to 50 watts, WHN to 50 watts, and so on. Corresponding calculations can be performed for other States, showing the havoc to radio lis- teners East, South and North, which such a law would bring—for these New York and New Jersey stations furnish programs to the whole country, and particularly to the South.” ~ Legislation In Snarl. Commissioner Caldwell’s letter again focuses attention on the present snarl that radio legislation finds itself in. If there should not be time between now ‘and March 15 for Congress to enact a Jaw providing for the continuation of the commission, very likely the three commissioners now up for confirmation, Mr. Caldwell, whose confirmation has been pending since he was passed over by the Senate committee almost a year ago; Sam Pickard, of Kansas, and Harold Lafount, of Utah, may be kept in suspense indefinitely.

Dr. Bernard Braskamp, as in Former Generations. “Stop criticizing modern youth—re- spect their rights,” the Rev. Bernard Braskamp, pastor of the Gunton- Temple Memorial Ch ich, Sixteenth and Newton streets northwest, urged yesterday at the 11 o’clock sermon. “There are hundreds of persons who will tell you the modern youth has smashed all barriers of morality, but the boys and girls of today are just as fine as thage in past generations,” Dr. Braskamp stated. He used for his sub- ject the question, “What is the Great- est Problem Confronting the Protestant Church?” In answer to the question Dr. Bras- kamp declared the problem confronted is the need of Christian education for modern youth. “The State can’t be looked to for the answer to this need,” Dr. Braskamp said. “It must be sup- plied in the home and in the church.

S. 8. frigate Con- stitution, the superb qualities of enter- tainment to be found in this mighty subject, which too often have been mis- taken for propaganda, are increasingly apparent. ‘ “Old Ironsides,” being shown at Cran- dall’s Metropolitan Theater for the first time locally at popular prices, for two days: now has packed the house with cheering crowds, keenly alive to the merits of a picture which adds his- torical authenticit: and an appealing romance to the purely adventurous ele- ments of drama which Rafael Sabatgni drew from the sam~ sources for his €n- tirely fictional tale of “The Sea Hawk.” Written by Laurence Stallings, au- thor of “What Price Glory,” this rous- ing tale of America’s youth on the high seas and Uncle Sam’s complete un- willingness to surrender his every moral right to the Barbary pirates and the preying powers of Tripoli, affords fre- quent opportunities for the waving of the flag and such demonstrations of American patriotism and valor as may be relied upon to stir the blood and swell the heart. They are not dragged in as false means of creating applause, but are indigenous to the story and re- fiective of the spirit that has made our country great. The action which characterizes the first half of the movement of the story, while interesting and diverting in its play of comedy, possesses nothing of the prodigious sweep and embattled fury of the final reels that bring the Constitution into action against the piratical craft that swarmed the Medi- terranean and the most formidable land batteries its coasts could boast. Here is a climax that may safely be ranked with the most tremendously moving ever caught by the camera. It is amazing that the half dozen pivotal figures car- rying the romantic narrative unfolded against a colorful historical background could have been kept so effectively in the spectator’s eye during mass scenes of such fabulous combat. These central characters are depicted in splendid fashion by Charles Farrell and Esther Ralston, as the young lovers; George Bancroft and Wallace Beery, as the rival Navy gunner and merchant sailor; Johnny Walker, as Decatur; George Godfrey, the giant ship’s cook. and literally thousands in support. The bill also includes a Mack Sennett comedy, “Smith’s Army Life;” the latest release of the Kinograms and orchestral prelude conducted by Alexander Podnos, which, it seems fair to predict, will not in any way impede the deservedly long run which “Old Ironsides” probably will enjoy. NELSON B. BELL. RIALTO The film version of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is being revived at the Rialto this week and was greeted Sat- urday evening by capacity houses. The Jength of this film allows the showing of but one other subject, an interesting newsreel and, indeed, any further em- bellishment would be superfluous. Rox Rommel] leads the orchestra in a short, but effective, atmospheric prelude. So much has been written in praise ct this picture and the story is so well known that little more need be said. The plot, with Esmeralda as the cen- tral figure, is laid during the reign of Louls XI and has for the background of much of its action the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. The principal character is, of course, Quasimodo the hunchback, who inhab- its the church and adores it with all his heart. A love theme involving Es- meralda and Phoebus runs through the entire story and motivates much of its action, but always in the background are the passions of the rabble and the idealistic fervor of their leader, Clopin, culminating in an unsuccessful attempt to storm the cathedral and overthrow the aristocrats. Lon Chaney gives what is probably his finest portrayal in the role of Quasi- modo. His wizardry of make-up 1s a thing to wonder at, but greater than this is the artistry which enables him to project through this grotesque figure the soul of the man, and to awaken in the spectators sympathy, compassion and even admiration. Patsy Ruth Miller is appealing and beautiful as Esmeralda, and Norman Ferry is adequate a; her lover. Ernest Torrence gives a thoughtful interpreta- tion of Clopin, and Nigel de Bruller, Brandon Hurst, Gladys Brockwell and Raymond Hatton are particularly good in an exceptionally brilltant supporting cast. It would be inappropriate to review this picture without mentioning the wonderful settings including the Court of Miracles, the Palais du Justice, the Bastile, and, above all, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, itself. Some of the in- terlor and exterior shots of this mar- velous reproduction are breath-taking in their beauty and grandeur. | LITTLE THEATER The Little Theater this week offers a revival of the Fox superattraction, “The Iron Horse,” recording with remarkable realism the building of the transconti- nental railroad and the incidental ro- mance of a young couple who are united at the wedding of the rails, after a spirited. race between the two track- laying crews of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific Railroads. Madge Bellamy and George O’Brien have the leading romantic roles, and J Farrell MacDonald is featured promi- nently in the comedy role of Corpl. Casey. This historic production repre- sents a vital, human and authentic chapter from the great. story of build- ing up the West. Owing to the length of the feature, the only supplementary film is a Pathe newsreel. The e Experienced ad-takers wil) help construct a result-producing ad in ae eence Post when vov cal) Main PALACE “Gentlemén Prefer Blondes,” a8 un- reeled upon the screen at Loew’s Palace Theater this week to the evident edifi- cation of capacity crowds, sets forth the adventures of Lorelei Lee, Anita Loos’ engaging young sophisticate, in most episodic fashion with virtually—that’s no. the right word—none of the hu- morous philosophy, subtlety or infalll- ble finesse that abounded in the book and made it one of the most sensation- ally successful of all modern imagina- tive figments. Lorelei is surprisingly well played by Ruth Taylor, elevated to this important task almost from the untried ranks of the “extras,” and Alice White, former script clérk, is vivacious in the seri- ously curtailed role of Dorothy, but in all other respects it seems to me that an exceptionally capable cast has been wasted upon an extraordinarily feeble camera rendition of the epic of the gold-digger. Lorelei’s life is picked up three gen- erations ahead of the book to make her propensity for expensive excavation an inherited trait. Her grandfather, it seems, was a prospector blessed with none of his granddaughter’s luck, Then comes the incident in which Lorelei’s hand was found to contain a pistol after Mr. Jennings had “become shot;” the cumedy trial, with Chester Conklin as judge—willing to finance the young sharpshooter into pictures after her ac- quittal—and then the quick succession of forays with Gus Eisman, the button king, as major provider, until Sir Fran- cis Beekman ‘is suspected of possibly being productive of a diamond tiara, which turns out to be his wife’s! The Parisian incidents and the conquest of Mr. Spoffard, millionaire reformer, are to me—but that doesn’t matter since on Saturday afternoon I seemed to oc- cupy a position of solitary isolation in my notion that the scenes were not so amusing as they should have been. Certainly the shortcomings—if such they be—are the fault of the adapter and not of the Misses Taylor or White, Mr, Conklin or Holmes Herbert, Ford Sterling, Mack Swain, Blanche Friderici, Trixie Friganza, Emily Fitzroy or the others of the fine assemblage of players. “Highlights of 1928,” the Cambria revue, is one of the most pretentiously staged the Palace has offered and in- troduces a considerable list of clever performers, led by the Palace Synco- pators and Wesley Eddy, who, unfortu- nately, have no specialty this week. The Three Ritz Brothers, nut collegiates; Kathryn Edwin and Charles Jolley, scprano and tenor; Bernie Brothers, clever dancers; the Moore Sisters, “melody steppers,” and “The Harle- quins,” a flashy ensemble, add luster to n bill that also includes Bernardo De Pace, mandolinist; whose act is growing a little threadbare to Washington au- diences. : The M.-G.-M. News, Mr. Borjes’ Or- chestra and Mr. Huffman’s organ, of N. B. B. course NATIONAL As a happy thought in connection with the renaissance of the Lenten season, the management of the Na- tional Theater hring back t. that house the Cecil De Mille masterpiece, “The King of Kings,” for a one-week run. If memory serves rightly this same picture was given a two-week run dur- ing the fall season, at which time the masters of critical opinion ‘ent into details of laudation, and innumerable complimentary adjectives as to the merit of this plece which, according to many. woulc be impossle to translate to the celluloid. Cecil De Mille deserves all the credit that is forthcoming for the translation of the story of the supreme tragedy to the realm of the camera. He has set about the task quite frankly, and the result is he has turned out a distinctly impressive story of the epic of Calvary. It is beside the question to assert that other “greats” have boasted casts of greater importance than the sup- porting cast in “The King of Kings,” and it is equally unimportant to go into the realm of spoken drama and make comparisons of the film version with the Oberammergau portrayal—the real gist of the picture, that makes it the picture that it 1s, is a cast of re- markable adaptability has been chosen to interpret the roles assigned. H. B. Warner, as the Christ; Ernest Torrence, as Peter; Joseph Schildkraut, as Judas; Rudolph Schildkraut, as the High Priest, and so on through the list, to the most unimpressive “extra,’’ the cast stands on its merit. The picture tells the story of “The King of Kings” without a grea‘ deal of what is called “hokum’”’—it is dignified, impressive and distinctly worth while. GAYETY Rube Bernstein's “Bathing Beauties” of 1928 with the popular Erin Jackson and Lew Lewis is the current united Burlesque morsel at Harry Jarboe’s House of Harmony on Ninth, near E. The Jackson trick js one of those rare finds which appear once in a great while, a versatile, beautiful, swift, tal- ented entertainer. Her singing, danc- ing and acting are worth the tip. The well-known Lew Lewis does clever work as eccentric comedian and never fails to delight with hig trick voice. Join- ing in the laugh producing, Murray Welch, a Hebrew comic, appears with a neat line but is received best in a satiric dance specialty. Mack White captivated the house with whistling and a few songs sung in a remarkable tenor voice. Tommy Moran, handsome and well-dressed straight man, served as master of ceremonies. Anna Lang, svelte brunette, dances delightfully and chants a few. Evelyn Murray, a sunshine blonde, with an in- curable grin, warbles well and does some startling acrobatic hoofing. The bathing beauties by the sea and the scene in the dressing room are out- standing. The chorus maidens are good to look at and go through their numbers in a workmanship fashion. The costumes and scenery strike a pleasant note. The favorite Bill Manville still wields the baton. EARLE | By sheer avoidance of the various sickly offenses committed in most of the moving pictures of the day, "Ser- enade,” with Adolphe Menjou, at the Earle this week, offers a tingle of pleas- ure and a glow of satisfaction. It is a simple and amusing tale, richly and honestly told. There is no straining for novelty, no plunging about of mega- phone-driven crowds, no intrusion of wit-racking titles, and particularly no single departure from common sense for the purpose of putting over some wit- less comic effect. The film is admirably acted in every part, even the most incidental charac- ters being cast with keenness and hu- mor. The settings and furnishings are chosen with care and with relish for the Viennese background of the story, and the photography is exceptionally tasteful and picturesque, There is noth- ing particularly fine or subtle in the story itself, but the way it is told will appeal to the most judicious. The theme is musical. Menjou be- gins as a struggling young composer, whose hair, it is pleasant to note, can be temperamentally rumpled. Later, with success and marriage, it assumes its familiar impeccable gloss. Conduct- ing the orchestra for his own operetta, the musician lets his heart stray toward the leading woman, and the climax hangs on the plan of his charming do- mesticated wife to bring him home. Katherine Carver is the wife, as pleas- ing and natural an actress as many moons have brought us. She {s aided by an elderly cellist (or maybe it is a bass viol that he carries), played by a fa- miliar figure whose name is missing, but whose work is always noteworthy. Other films are a Newsreel and a4 dainty bit of sentiment in color called “Souvenirs.” The stage show is devoted to Whitey Kaufman's jazz orchestra and a revue, “In the Army,” in which clever dancing is the order of the hour. A male trio of hoofers, who show what can be done with a filght of steps, won the most ap- plause. COLUMBIA Yesterday's audience at Loew's Co- lumbia had come to see “The Circus,” Charlie Chaplin's “The Circus,” which is now in its second record-breaking week. And it was a circus they saw! Charlie Chaplin never disappoints. He is the one known quantity, the un- failing: clown, the constant Northern star of films. In this story of circus life, of which Charlle accidentally be- comes a part, his genius for fun-mak- ing is again. clothed in the trick derby, overroomy shoes, funny little mous- tache and flexible cane. And audi- ences, who have come to love this screen Charlie, roared louder than ever at the antics of their idol. Exclama- tions of glee from the kids each time Charlie did his stuff, whether on a tight rope, filching hot dogs from a stand, or making faces at the baby, boomed from the first rows to the cetl- ing. Fearful “oohs” and “ahs” were gasped lest Charlie be caught by the strong arm of the law or fall off a slack wire. But Charlie came out on top in every situation but one—for he doesn't get the girl in “The Circus.” The girl, who wears a fluffy skirt and rides a great white steed, is Merna Kennedy, 18 years old. This is Merna’s first picture role, for she went from the musical comedy stage direct to the part of Charlie Chaplin's leading lady. She gives an intelligent, restrained per- formance, and her characterization is always believable. “The Circus” was written, directed and produced by Charlie Chaplin, as have been his earlier films. But “The Circus” is different. To be sure, Charlie is as wistful as ever, but in “The Circus” he seems to be the old Chaplin, the Chaplin of “The Kid,” “Shoulder Arms” and “The Floorwalker.” Here there, is the old spontaneous hilarity, timing and laugh-getting. A technicolor subject, “The Flag,” is an added feature, with Francis X. Bush- man, Enid Bennett and Alice Calhoun heading a splendid cast. The M-G-M News and a very appropriate overture round out a delightful program. KEITH'S Sessue Kayakawa, Japanese stage and screen star, tops the bill at Keith’s this week in a one-act play from the pen of Edgar Allan Woolf, who has a flair for condensing drama within the twenty- minute requirement for short, speed } stuff. A rip-roaring melodrama, “The Man Who Laughed,” affords Mr. Haya- kawa one grand, smooth moment where he rescues the lady of his heart from the rufflanly bands of a West Coast sea-faring man. Associated with the star in the tabloid tragedy are Lucille Lortel, playing a half-caste girl, and Walter Nelson, a swashbuckling sailor. A real sample of the Lancaster clog is brought forth by the Revel Brothers, who, with their eister, “Red,” have a prominent place on the program. Jay Velie, a singer of songs, has a delight- ful act; Marie Walsh and Frank Ellis contribute “A Roadside Idyll,” and the woman pianist, Adela Verne, was re- peatedly encored. She offers a reper- toire of classical music. It remains for Eddie Conrad, the nut comic, to bring down the house, as the saying has it. Marion Eddy, with him, contributes her share of the entertain- mee in “Whoo-Ha,” a nonsensical half our. The Three Lortens in “Lights Out” open the bill, a good round of plain vaudeville closed by the sensational tight-rope walker, Miacahua, heralded as the only woman in the world who walks on the wire without the aid of pole or umbrella; if that means any- thing to those outside the profession. The usual house features round out the entertainment. Ionic Club Smoker. The Ionic Club, whose membership is composed of master Masons employed in the Treasury Department, general accounting office and at the Capitol, will hold a smoker tonight and initiate a large class of new members at its meeting in the Washington Hotel. , cre a f ‘ me is EE Lh) alte hy wy ; te aa as ; . 2o¥ pe as , 4 gM t Sar > awl P A ‘ Ta ja f at ONES Penh * ' : . 5 rc w Meee. i ¢ NG a at 1 , - : ‘ ‘ ‘ es) Pi ’ . . 5 > . b 2 ‘ 7 >} j ; . io ~ A | + ; wa i “ ¥ +e : ¥ ¢ -— ee mq } e' ’ =o x ss ~ te ; 4 7 % ig Pasi ’ " e, J z ro * . ; ‘ "t es ‘ . ied " © ‘as O'S ’ “ . ps a * >: . 7 — * x teal Sx = t vie - . 7 y * — aaa Salts rt 7 : . 2 ‘ J i, - es ee —_— Syd adh finan st Pe ae She ear, Bee 6s cork ey Pe can tetera 7 r 1 he at Se we oee set» S ee, won: 58 igh A e 7 i ry : ty ED ides eS Sea ete Ey awe eS wae!

Farmers and other citizens of Mont- gomery County have expressed appre- hension in the matter of the location of the farmers’ produce market in Wash- ington, lest the Stalker bill, which is to be the first measure to be considered today by the House, and which author- izes an appropriation of $300,000 for the purchase of a market site in the Southwest section of Washington, should be favorably considered by that body. Apparently, without exception, Mont- gomery County farmers are against the location of the farmers’ market in the Southwest section, and they are backed in their Opposition by the Montgomery County Farm Bureau, which favors the use of the block between New York avenue and Florida avenue and between North Capitol street and First street northeast known as the Eckington site. Dr. T. B. Symons, of the University of Maryland, is authority for the state- ment that of the 14,000 acres of land producing fresh vegetables for the Washington market, 11,000 acres lie in Maryland. It is declared that only a small proportion of the present space holders in the farmers’ market will benefit by locating the market in the Southwest. Bureau Gives Reasons. The Montgomery County Farm Bu- reau, which jis in favor of a market site north of Pennsylvania avenue and which bitterly opposes its location else- where, gives several reasons why it hag taken this position. They are as fol- lows: Four-fifths of the population of the .- District live north of Pennsylvania ave- nue; more than nine-tenths of the hotels and boarding houses and four- fifths of the restaurants and lunch rooms and more than three-fourths of the retail grocery stores lie north of Pennsylvania avenue; future expansion of.the District of Columbia, in popula- tion and in the number of hotels, boarding houses>restaurants and retail grocery stores will--take “flece north of Pennsylvania avenue; accessibility and parking facilities are good; it is near the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Terminal, is served by three car lines; it is easily reached by all farmers com- ing from Maryland or Virginia. United States Senator Millard F Tyd- ings, of Maryland, has introduced a bill in the Senate authorizing the Dis- trict Commissioners to acquire an Eck- ington site. Representative Gambriil, of Laurel, has introduced a similar bill in the House. Both bills have the full support of Montgomery County farmers and the Montgomery County Farm Bu- reau. Four Eckington Sites. There are four so-called Eckington sites. The Tydings bill authorizes an appropriation of $600,000 for the ac- quisition of the stte bounded by North Capitoi street, First street, Florida ave- nue, O and P streets northeast Opponents of the acquisition of a site in Southwest Washington point out that the area selected is too small; that it is inaccessible to the great ma- jority of growers of fresh produce, the greater part of which is raised in Mary- land; that traffic conditions ure infe- rior; that the majority of producers will have to go through the downtown sec- tion to reach it; that there are only four north and south travel lanes run~ ning through the Mall to the South- west, viz., Sixth, Seventh, Twelfth and F urteenth streets; that it ts impos- sible to extend either Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh o: Thirteenth streets th ough the Mall, and that the Federal building program for the development of the Mall will necessitate the rear- rangement of street car tracks and will require the rerouting of all cars serv- ing the Southwest area proposed for the farmers market.
