But don’t call the Governor that to his face, because if it’s a hot day you might get cooled off so fast it would turn into pneumonia. Mr. Raskob’s reference to the principal subject under discussion as “the damnable affliction of prohi- bition” is calculated to have an un- fortunate tendency to strengthen the moral convictions of those who re- gard it as part of their religious creed. What’s one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Herbert Hoover boards the train, And starts out for the West; Maybe he'll come back again— Perhaps he'll take a rest.

Roald Amundsen and other mem- bers of his crew of the missing French airplane have been rescued. The re- port was said to have come from fish- ing vessels working close to Bear Island. Another version was that these fishing boats have actually effected the rescue of the party from an ice floe. an Rome, July 14 (A.P.).—The Stefani News Agency tonight made public a ree port received by the Nobile base ship, Citta di Milano, to the effect that the Danish Guide Varming had been res- cued from the ice near Cape Brun, by the Norwegian icebreaker Braganza. Varming was a member of the party of Alpine Chasseur Capt. Sora, which set ouf some weeks ago to attempt to reach the Italia survivors on Foyn Island. He was blinded by the glare from the ice and his two companions were forced to leave him behind with provisions. They were rescued yester- day by Swedish and Finnish airplanes from Foyn Island, where they had taken refuge. i Now Seeking Chukhnovsky. If the report is true, Varming will have been the eleventh person to be rescued from the ice flelds north of Spitzbergen. since the crash of the Italia. The Braganza is reported to be mak- ing an effort to reach the Russian aviator Chukhnovsky and his four companions marooned by damage to their plane near Cape Platen. Light sledges which have been sent over the ice are believed to have good chances of reaching the men. Ice conditions were reported favorable. The text of the official statement from the Citta di Milano to the Ste- fani Agency indicates the entire patrol was taken aboard the ship. It reads: “The guide Varming, just as Capt. Sora, who had been left on the coast (of Northeast Land) because he was unable to carry on to Foyn Island, has returned to the Braganza together with the Alpine patrol and the student members of the Italian Alpine Club.” Malmgren Left Behind. Stockholm. Sweden, July 14 (A.P.).— Dr. Finn Malmgren, with both feet frozen and an arm broken, sent Capt. Filippo Zappi and Capt. Alberto Marino ahead on their trek for help for the survivors of the dlirigible Italia and himself remained on the ice to die alone, said a report to the minister of defense received today from Capt. Torn- berg, chief of the Swedish relief expedi- tion at Spitzbergen. | The captain quoted a message from the Krassin, where the Italian officers are recuperating after their rescue by the Russian ice breaker from a small ice berg.

FAY WRAY, ACTRESS, TRAPS EXTORTIONIST Mother’s Life Threatened, She Says; “Money” Is Tossed Onto Lot. Los Angeles, July 14 (A.P.).—An at- tempt to obtain $2,000 from Fay Wray, motion picture actress, by a threat to kill her mother, today resulted in a man who gave his name as Lyon I. Banard walking into a police trap. He was captured by officers, who kept a vigil at a Hollywood street corner, and lodged him in jail. The actress received an anonymous letter which directed her to drive to Sunset boulevard and Laurel Canyon road and throw the money wrapped in a newspaper into a vacant lot. If she refused or told police, the writer declared, he would kill Miss Wray’s mother. Miss Wray telephoned police and sev- eral officers went to the street corner. At the appointed hour, Miss Wray drove by in her car, tossed a news- paper-wrapped bundle onto the lot, and continued down the street. When the man went to get the bundle, he was arrested, but not until he had at- tempted tu draw a revclver, police said. He was booked on a charge of extor- tion. ‘LAND OF THE SKY’ SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.

Scores of residents of able apartment house at necticut avenue northwest, en from their apartments after 2 o'clock: this morning when ammonia fumes fillea the corridors and apartments of the building A check up of the apartments made by members of the fire department rescue squads and physicians from Emergency Hospital revesied that all apartments had been heard from by 2:30 o'clock. The second floor was the most se- verely affected of the five floors of the structure. There were only light fumes of the gas on the first floor. The fumes are believed to have arisen from a broken coil in a refrigerating system All of the residents were ordered from their apartments by police and the reécue squad who made use of the tele- phone switchboard in the first-floor corridor. They fled from the structure in dressing gowns and bathrobes, and were given shelter in nearby apart- ments and dwellings. Some few of the dwellers, however. failed to respond to the summons of the authorities to vacate, and, closing the doors into the corridors, opened their windows and sat in them, thus avoiding the fumes. At an early hour all residents of the apartment were said by the resident Manager to have answered to their telephones, and it was not believed that any one had been overcome. Sergt. V. F. Cannon, of the Four- teenth Police Precinct. who took charge of the scene, said that he believed everyone had escaped unharmed. Explosions Precede .

Philadelphia, July 14 (A.P.).—Ernest Whitworth Marland, millionaire oil man of Oklahoma, today married Miss Lydie Miller Roberts, his niece.

It only says that if one of the powers should violate the pact the other powers would recover freedom of action. This means that this pact shall be in effect so long as no country decides to make war. If any country breaks the pact the whole thing will be left as if no pact had ever existed.” Miss Eagels Awarded Divorce From Coy the pact of war as Chicago, April 14 (A.P.).—Satisfied that Jeanne Eagels, actress, is a resi- dent of Chicago, Judge Joseph Sabath, of the superior court, today signed a decree granting her a divorce from Ed- ward Harris ‘Ted’ Coy, her athlete husband, whom she accused of cruelty.

Henry Ford has joined the ranks of those who will work actively in support of the candidacy of Herbert Hoover, Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Repub- lican national committee announced yesterday. Mr. Ford, according to the announce- ment, has accepted the vice presidency of the Hoover for President engineers’ national committee.

Mutiny in Turkey’s Military Academy Constantinople, July 14 (A.P.).—A mutiny broke out recently in the mili- tary academy, where the cadets, after the government's refusal to raise their FALSE INFORMATION IN WHITE'S CHARGES, POV SMITH ASSERTS Rev. 0. R. Miller Blamed for Figures Given by Kansan. STATEMENTS STAND, IS REPLY OF EDITOR Kansan Says He Never Heard Before of the Minister Referred To. Albany, N. Y., July 14 (A.P.).—Goy. Smith turned today on an old political foe—the Rev. O. R Miller, superintend- ent of the New York State Civie League—and accused him of circulat- ing false information about his legisla- tive record. He also trained his guns on William Allen White, the Kansas editor, who in a campaign speech the other night at- tacked the Democratic presidential nominee. Plainly stirred, Smith declared Mr. White in assailing him had accepted the misleading word of Miller. For years Miller, who has been active in advocating social reform, and the governor have been at odds. Today, moved to comment by an inquiry re- garding White’s attack from a news- paper man, Smith said he was satisfied Miller w s back of it all. He declared that an unfair and uncalled-for effort was being made to have it appar that he had favored the liquor interests and had turned thumbs down on legislation designed to curb gambling and com- mercialized vice White “Oucht to Know Better.” “White know: nothing about what has been happening here in Albany,” the presideutia’ nominee said, as he paced back and forth in the reception room of the executive mansion where he had received reporters for his daily interview. “He’. repeating what Miller, who has been thoroughly discredited, has told him. No one places any stock in what Miller says, but White has brains: he ought to know better.” In a speech at Olathe, Kans., Thurs- day night, White, in reviewing Smith's record in the New York Legislature, said the governor had voted ten times against allowing the people to vote on any sort of restriction on the sale of liquor; four times against stopping gambling and prostitution in connec- tion with saloons; three times against repealing the law keeping the saloon open on Sunday; four times in favor of removing zoning restrictions which would keep open saloons from the close vicinity of churches and schools, and three times in favor of laws sponsored by organized gambling. “Nonsense,” He Asserts. With a sweep the governor branded this tabulation as “nonsense.” and he touched on one or two points to prove his point. “They say I voted four times against stopping gambling and prostitution in saloons,” he expostulated, “What kind o fnonsense is that? To my knowledge there never was such a proposal in the legislature.” He also declared he had no recollec- tion of any bills to open saloons on Sunday ever reaching the floor. As for zoning restrictions, he said that in 1911 the courts had ruled that a hotel with liquor license or a saloon could not operate their bars if, after they had been established, a church or school was located nearby, and had said that the legislature would have to correct the law’s requirement in this respect. “It did, and that’s the story,” Smith went on to explain “The effect of the court’s decision woulec have been to close the bars in such New York hotels as the Astor, Knickerbocker and Wal- dorf if a church or school were estab- lished close by.” “Bigger Vote Every Year.” The governor said that Miller had been circulating attacks against him for ten years, “and as a result of his efforts and those of his friends I have been getting a bigger vote every year.” He concluded his counterattack on the reform advocate with the observa- tion that he had been utterly discred- ited on his recent appearance before the United States Senate campaign funds committee. The White-Miller disctssion was the high light. of the governor’s press cone ference. He had little to say as to came« paign plans; in fact, declaring that he was leaving them entirely to John Jd, Raskob, the new chairman of the Democratic national committee. The nominee said that it was a osha cidence that Herbert Lehman, campaign finance. director, had come up yesterday on the train with him from New York, Lehman was on his way to visit his son in a Vermont camp and at no time during the train ride, Smith said, was the question of campaign funds dis- cussed.

The office of rector of the university is regarded as one of great importance, ‘$0 great indeed that the Pope person- ally makes the appointment. The procedure is for the board of , trustees of the university to nominate various men, and to send their names and their records to Rome. From these the Pope makes a selection. The board of trustees is composed of two cardinals, archbishops and bishops, and a number of distinguished laymen.

Daugherty, 35-year-old Interstate Commerce Commission em- ploye, of 124 St. Elmo avenue, Wood- mont, Bethesda, Md., who disappeared from his office Tuesday, and in search of whom the Washington Police De- partment for the first time in its his- tory utilized an airplane, yesterday was found in the. woods of Sherwood For- est. Md. He was seen in the woods yesterday morning by a woman resident of Sher- wood Forest, who reported to Anne Arundel County authorities that the man was acting strangely, and he was taken into custody. Knowing that he had been despon- cent for many weeks, his family, con- sisting of his sister, Miss Loulse W Daugherty, proprietor of the Louise Flower Shop, 1301 Connecticut avenue, and his wife and child, obtained the aid of the local police in making + search of the Potomac River, fearing that he might have vast himself into it. Friday Lieut. Edward Kelly, of the homicide squad of the Washington Po- lice Department, and Lieut. Frederick Schauss, of Bolling Field, flew several times up and down a stretch of the river in a frultles search for a body re- ported to have been seen in the water. After being taken into custody yes- terday, Daugherty was examined by Dr. C H. Flaubert, of the huspital for col- ored insane near Sherwood Forest, and was declared to be suffering from men- ta! strain. He was taken to Annapolis and lodged in jail, but upon the appeal of his brother-in-law, Eugene E. Rob- erts, of 3020 Porter strect northwest, he was released into his cristody with the promise that he would be taken to a hospital. In a note found on Daugherty’s per- son, dated yesterday, he is quoted as stating that he had decided tc “leave the trials of life at the place’ where yesterday 1 had a final good time.” No explnation of the note could be ob- tained. It was further revealed by Roberts that Daugherty was in Washington, at the Union Station, yesterday morning, and that upon purchasing a newspaper and reading of the search being con- cucted for him, he returned to his hid- ing place in the woods. Man Mows Thistles On 100th Anniversary Chicago, July 14 (A.P.).—Herman Klamage, sr., spent today wielding a doughty. scythe against Canadian thistles on his farm. And that’s news, because this is Mr. Klamage’s birthday and most folk cele- pbrate their birthdays in other ways than chasing thistles. But a birthday more or less really means nothing to Mr. Klamage. For this was his one hundredth. In addition to having been born in 1828, the Klamage statistics include six daughters, two sons, 25 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. They'll fete Mr. Klamage tomorrow. China Eggs Found Inside Snake, Thief ‘South Dennis. N. J., July 14.—Harry Dennis, station agent here, sat up all lats night with a shotgun, but when in the morning he found his nest eggs again were still missing he was baffled. No one had entered his henhouse. What had made his eyes pop was the steady disappearance of the china eggs he put in the nests. The thief ap- parently preferred china eggs to real ones. Tonight, reaching his hand into a nest, he found a sleepy blacksnake, 6 feet long. When he cut it open he found seven of his china eggs inside.

CAPITAL WOMAN INJURED Two automobile accidents early yes- terday morning on the Little River turnpike near Alexandria took a toll of nine persons injured, one of whom lost an arm and another suffered a com- pound fracture of a leg. Bushrod T. Garrison, 25 years old, of 348 Commerce street, Alexandria, received so severe a cut on the left arm that it was amputat- ed just below the shoulder. The machine driven by Garrison was com- ing toward Alexandria and when it reached a point near Annandale the driver saw another car approaching. Realizing the danger of a collision, Gar- rison drew to one side of the road, but the other machine sideswiped his car, throwing Garrison, Herbert Sutherland and Herbert Pitts clear of the car, which went over an embankment. Gar- rison was cut on the arm by glass from the broken windshield, almost severing the member. The other car failed to stop, and one of Garrison's companions secured a truck *and took him to Alexandria Hospital, where Dr. S. B. Moore amputated his arm. Sutherland and Pitts suffered slight cuts and brulses. The second accident also occurred on the Little River turnpike, when ean automobile driven by Murray Hayman, of 1839 Sixteenth street northwest, skidded on the wet road and turned over, injuring six persone, including the driver. The most seri- ously hurt is Miss Beatrice Gard, 1714 H_ street northwest, who is suffering from a compound fracture of the leg, a cut on the arm, and slight bruises and lacerations. The other occupanvs of the car, all of whom were treated at the Alexandria Hospital by Dr. 8. B. Moore, were Miss Gertrude Ramsey and Miss Mildred Kittison, 1714 H street northwest, Maurice Mar- quis, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Morris Makins, Detroit. According to reports of the accident, the party left Washington about mid- night for a ride, and were going to- ward Alexandria about 3 o’clock yester- day morning, when the machine skidd- ed and overturned. FOUR STORE THEFTS NET ONLY 50 PENNIES Robbers Make Unprofitable Visits to Three Business Establishments. Four local stores were entered by thieves Friday night, according to com- plaints made with the police yester- day. The sum total of their loot, how- ever, was but §0 cents in pennies, taken from the cash register of John Gabriel, 1109 Ninth street northwest. In addition to the complaint of Ga- briel, Adolph Litchenstine, of 3111 M. street northwest, reported that an at- tempt was made Friday night to enter his store by removing glass and bars from a rear window, but nothing was missing. Charles Picardi, proprietor of a cafe at 1414 H street northwest, reported that his place was entered Friday night and thoroughly ransacked, but that nothing was missing. ‘The delicatessen store of Nick Caption, 1119 N street northwest, was o entered through breaking the rear window, but nothing was reported as missing. 10-Year-Old Boy Hurt by Auto. -Prederick ©, Crickenberger, 10 years old, 113 Fifteenth street southeast, was knocked down by an automobile in front of his home las Harry C. Davis, general manager of the Independent Taxicab Owners As- sociation, who could not hold his men in line yesterday in the rain, said that further conferences of the board of directors of the association would be held to discuss tactics. He said that so far as he could teil the jitneys would operate again Monday morning. There were, however, indications of stampede in the ranks of the drivers, many of whom fear arrest, although District authorities have said repeated- ly that they do not intend arresting the drivers. Acting Corporation Counsel Ring- gold Hart conferred again yesterday with John W. Childress, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. Hart is said to take the view that the jitney service will peter out if left to iteelf, and that the commission need not be concerned about it. It was definitely stated that he said to Childress: “There is no question in my mind that the Diamond cabs running a jit- ney service are common carriers and d public utility. The question is whether the character and volume of business are such that the commission wants to take it under jurisdiction. Suggestions by Hart, “Although the commission in my opinion now has jurisdiction over these cabs, it has not reached out and as- sumed it. After an investigation of the character and volume of business the cabs are doing the commission should hold a public hearing and if it decides to assume jurisdiction could adopt and promulgate regulations gcverning the conduct of the business,” The foregoing suggestion to Chil- dress, it will be seen, does not contem- plate the alternative that the commis- sion forbid the service. How Childress received this advice was not indicated. Countering complaints that. the street car and motorbus companies have made that the jitney cab service constitutes unfair competition with chartered utilities, Davis in behalf of the cabmen charged that the street car companies themselves are, with the consent and cooperation of the com- mission, engaging in cutthroat compe- tition with the taxis. “The Capital Traction Co. has in- stituted two 25-cent de luxe motorbus lines,”” said Davis. “These took much business directly from the taxicabs The commission permitted them to do that to us, but is now trying to de- fend them against our competition. Cites Ball Park Trouble, “Then at the baseball park when there are games here we are not per- mitted to wait for passengers at the gates, but street cars pile up there blocking the streets in all directions and making them impassable. “The result ig that scores of persons who want cabs every baseball day take the stfeet cars instead because of the inaccessibility of our vehicles. “The Capital Traction Co. continually rents out its buses for sightseeing pur- poses and that takes money from our pockets. And whenever there is a con- vention, a big meeting or an operatic performance, the buses of the street car companies drive up to the place and take away loads of persons who otherwise would use cabs. “At the time of the recent Lindbergn celebration at the Washington Audi- torium taxicabs took 120 persons to the affair and only received 30 calls to haul visitors away. The street car com- panies’ motor buses got the rest.” Monument to Mark Trails at Bethesda The Old Trails Monument of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which symbolizes the western migra- tion, will be erected on a plot of ground in Bethesda, Md.

JEWELL, LAWYER, LONG-INVALID, DEAD Resident of Washington 35 Years, Was 77; Prominent as Church Worker.

Mrs. Blumenberg is now Stray Collies, Home Lost, Leap Into Rescuers Car Little Brindle Bull Companion Loses Nerve and Flees, When Mrs. M. R. Blumenberg Finally Wins Confidence of Strays , After Many Trials. The early morning rides of a Wash- ington woman, for the purpose of exer- cising her own three cogs, has resulted in the rescue of two hometess, well- bred collies. In the pouring rain early yesterday morning, Mrs. M. R. Blumen- berg, vice president of tae Animal Res- cue League and executive director of the Humane Society, took to her head- quarters two dogs which had been lol- tering around the new Commerce Bulild- ing excavation two and a half months. During the war.temporary bulidings were erected on the block between D and E streets and Fourteenth and Fif- teenth streets. About two and a half months ago these were demolished to make way for the new Department of Commerce structure. There had been ample room under the supports of the temporary bulldings for a clan of stray dogs to make their headquarters. The loss of buildings could not drive the dogs from the locality. Mrs. Blumenberg said yesterday that every night, after the streets wre de- serted, she takes her three dogs in her car and drives to the Eiiipse, to exer~- cise them. On every trip she has seen three “vags” around the excavation, but could not approach them. They were the two collies and a brindle bull. Recently Mrs. Blumenberg said she has had about 30 calls, asking her to take the dogs under her care. Friday morning she said she received a call from the Police Department saying that they were going to shoct the vagrants if they were-not taken care of. The dogs, she- said, had a habit of following passiig motorists as far as the Red Cross Building, barking and running around the cars, as if to ask for food, but when she approached would run for the depths of the exca- vation, About two o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Blumenberg sald she was on her usual drive with her dogs toward the Ellipse when she saw the trio of noc- turnal prowlers following her car in the heavy rain. The dogs had never been seen in the daytime, she sald. They followed here barking to the Red Cross Building. then to the D A. R. Building, and in front of the Pan American Building she stopped. For the first time the tramps were friendly enough to approach. This time the two collies jumped into the car. The little brindle bull fled. Mrs. Blumenberg took the collles to Rescue League headquarters. She said yesterday that they seemed content in their new quarters. They will be put into condition and homes fcund for them. Mrs. Blumenberg seems to “know her dogs,” having held her office with the ‘eague nine years and with the Humane Soclety sixteen years. MRS.

After first denying any knowledge of the tragedy, Abram admitted early this morning that his dead brother had killed the boy and disposed of his body. Fredericksburg’s greatest mys- tery case of many years was solved, but many essential facts are yet unknown. Perhaps they went to the grave with Henry Grimes, whose body is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery near that of his lit- tle victim. Peath an Accident, it Is Believed, From all indications, the death of the boy, Albert Baker, son of M. ¥Y. Baker, local painter, was an accident, he being fatally injured or killed out- right when struck near his home oy Henry Grimes’ automobile. Fearing he would get into trouble, according to the story bared by Abram, Henry picked up the body and hid it. The accident happened late in the afternoon of February 22, 1927. The boy had left his home to play and did not return. An unceasing investigation for weeks by local and outside officers revealed nothing. On May 2, 1927, young Baker’s body was found in a weighted sack in the Rappahannock River below this city, badly decomposed. The skull was frac- tured and a dark ring around the neck indicated that the child might have been strangled. Still no clue could be found to the person responsible for his death. The case recently had practical- ly lost its public interest and little hope was held for a solution of the mystery. Officials Receive “Hot Tip.” Yesterday a “hot” tip pointed In the direction of Grimes, who might have forever kept his dead brother’s secret, had he not let a little of the story leak some months ago. The youth finally signed a statement in which he said his brother had told him of the incident about three weeks after Baker had dis- appeared. According to Abram, Henry did not divulge the full details of the tragedy although he told many of the facts. Abram said he did not learn whether any one was with Henry at the time, where he had hidden the body, when, or where he had placed it in the river. No charges were preferred against Abram, who was permitted to resume werk near here. Police, however, are still checking up on the story in the hope of ascertaining all essential facts. Solving of the mystery with all ite strange features brought relief to the grief-stricken parents of the boy, who had been in agonizing suspense for nearly eighteen months.

ENOCHS DESCRIBES ATTITUDE OF DEAD HERO Never Once Mentioned His Own Feats, but Spoke of U.S. With Admiration. announced in advance, because of the shortness of the time, many listeners in Washington heard the services last Hight broadcast in memory of Capt. Emilio Carranza, so lately a guest of honor in the National Capital. Possibly the most impressive moment Was at the conclusion of the tribute by Col. Berkley Enochs, U. S. A., when he said: “The United States Army gives you a final salute, Capt. Carranza. Adios, Amigo.” Following this could be heard the measured notes of “Taps” played by an Army bugler from the Second Corps Area post at Governors Island, N. Y. Col. Enochs told of a ride he had taken with Capt. Carranza, accompanying him from Mitchel Field, on’ Long Island, to the City Hall in New York, where the Mexican flier was received with honors. No Talk of His Own Feats. “On our trip into New York,” Col. Enochs said, “in environments so dif- ferent from those of Mexico City in his own country, Capt. Carranza spoke of many things. However, never once did he speak of his owh accomplish- ments. Nor did he mention his war achievements or his flying, triumphs. “Ryther, his: attitude was one of mod- ty. Always he gave the impres- - Sion %f a peace envoy. He was s0 in- terested in what he saw of New York as we rode along that he remarked, ‘I should like to live in New York—or remain a long time here.’ I am sorry that this was not to be.” Preceding the talk of Col. Enochs there was an address by Manuel Cruz, representing the Mexican Chamber of Commerce of New York, under whose auspices the memorial was held. Part of Episcopal Service. A part of the Episcopal service for the dead was read and the exercises closed with two musical selections, Guonod’s “Ave Maria” and Nevin’s “The Rosary.’ Finally the radio audi- ence was asked to stand in silent tribute to the dead flier. Altogether the service was unique in the history of troadcasting in this country. There have been other me- morial services over the air anc funeral exercises have been Lroadcast, but nothing quite like this, when the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. on the spur of the moment staged this event as the gaNations first country-wide tribute to one who gave his life in fostering friendly relations between Mexico and the United States. The broadcast was carried by a chain of stations radiating from WEAF in New York City, including WRC in Washington, and extending as far West as Chicago, as far north as Detroit and as far South as Atlanta. 10 Killed, 18 Injured In Polish Train Wreck (Special Cable Dispatch.)

SUNDAY, JULY: 15, TRAPPED IN NEW SEWER, D WORKERS LOSE LIVES Straw-Boss Saves Seven and Is Himself Drowned in Flood, Due to Error. GAS MENACES RESCUERS <a Chicago, Ill., July 14 (A.P.).—Bodies of three men were taken this afternoon from the underground tomb, a new mile-long sewer tunnel, where they were trapped by a flood of water just before last midnight. Fear that four other workmen had met death by the triple menace of drowning, asphyxiation or electrocu- tion was abandoned after a squad of firemen searched the tunnel and found only three bodies. Four of the men who were working in the bore had not claimed the clothes and lunch pails they left above the ground this afternoon and this led authorities to believe they were among the victims. Arrest of Richard Keating, a sanitary district employe, who through an error is believed to have turned on the valve that loosed the flood, was ordered. The hero of the tragedy was the gang “straw” boss, Carl Chiaro. He heard the cries of warning as the flood came roaring down the tube, heard the scramble for the ladder and was him- self the first to reach safety. Then came a thought of his men, swirling away to death. He climbed down the ladder, hauled seven men, one after another, up to the surface, and then went down to be swept into the stream as he’ reached for another companion. Throughout the night and day fire engines worked to pump out the water. By noon the depth had been lowered to 3% feet, but the hopes of rescue squads were balked by deadly pockets of carbon monoxide gas and the peril of electrocution from a short-circuited high tension cable. It was 1:30 before the firemen, pro- tected by gas masks, dared go into the tube to begin the search which result- ed in the finding of the three bodies. An employe in the Calumet City pumping plant was electrocuted when he became excited at the report the bodies had been found and touched a high voltage wire ‘n the power house. According to sanitary district em- ployes, Keating was ordered to open the “No. 5 valve” in order to eliminate carbon monoxide gas from the tunnel in which the men were working. A 6-inch trickle of water would have been the result. Instead, they say, Keating opened the “No. 5 gate” which released a torrent. Berlin Again to Ban Corned-Beef Imports | (Special “Cable ‘able Dispatch) Berlin, July 14.—Germany proposes to reintroduce the prohibition against the tmportation of corned beef, it is announced tonight. The ban was lifted three years ago owing to a shortage of German meat supplies, but)now it is declared that these supplies are ample. Germany now consumes annually 117 pounds of meat per head of popu- lation, or seven pounds more than be- fore the war.

It is probable that the train will stop at various places along the route to Mexico City to permit public demonstrations. The Mexican Embassy officials here expect the train to leave New York im- mediately after the funeral ceremonies with the plan of holding the burial in Mexico City by the week-end. The offer trom President Coolidge to President Calles of Mexico placing the Florida at the disposal of the Mex- ican government as a funeral ship, went direct from the summer White House in Wisconsin to Mexico City. Condolences Telegraphed. ; With it went the personal condo- lences of President Coolidge and at the me time Secretary Kellogg and Sec- retary Davis, of the War Department, made public their expression of sym- pathy and of admiration for the flier, which were telegraphed, respectively, to the Mexican foreign minister and the minister of war. Secretary Kellogg took a deep per- sonal interest in seeing that every avency of the American Government was brought into play which could as- sist in making clear to the government and people of Mexico not only the sym- pathy of the American people in Mex- ico’s hour of sorrow, but their deep ap- preciation of the spirit of’ friendship and good will which prompted Capt. Carranza to make his flight to the United States. To that end orders were transmitted by the War Departme... to Maj. Gen.

Kellogg Sympathy to Father, Secretary Kellogg today sent this message to Sebastiano Carranza, father of Capt. Carranza, who Is attached to the Mexican consulate general in New York: “Please accept the deepest sympathy of Mrs. Kellogg and myself on your great bereavement in the loss of your gallant son. Capt. Carranza’s splen- did accomplishment and high charac- ter made a profound impression on the Government and people of the United States, and his death will be univer- sally mourned.” Mr. Carranza’s reply said: “The warm message of sympathy of yourself and Mrs. Kellogg has given me new strength to bear the terrible blow which des- tiny has seen fit to burden me with.” Secretary Davis, of the War Depart- ment, transmitted the following mes- sage of sympathy to the Mexican sec- retary of war: “The deepest sympathy of the Army of the United States is extended to the Mexican army on the sad fate of its intrepid airman, Capt. Emilio Carranza. His daring and skill have been an in- spiration to all peoples. He joins that group of illustrious men who have sac- rificed their lives for the development of the science of aeronautics.” Body Lies Under Two Flags. New York, July~14 (A.P.).—Capt. &@milio Carranza tonight lay under the fiags of two nations;-—Mexico and the United States—wheek peebles he had sought to unite more closely. The Mexican aviator’s crumpled body had been brought back from the New Jersey berry patch where he crashed soon after starting a flight by which he hoped to demonstrate anew that distances and frontiers mean little in this airplane age. An inquiry at Mount Holly established that Carran- za met death in a descent probably forced by mechanical trouble and not by.a bolt of lightning as Wag at first thought by some observers. Whilé plans were evolved in his nation’s capital for a home-coming, saddened but no less honorable than if he had swept down from the clouds offering: manence. ence and references.

The Mexican consulate here, where the aviator’s father proudly forced back his tears to express the hope that his son's death might further the peaceful project of his life, received hundreds of condolences. This tribute came from many lands and emphasized that while Mexico had lost a leader she had gained a glorious example for her youth. City Flags at Half-Staff. The city ordered its flags at half- staff during the day for Carranza, to whom it had paid its official greeting only a few days before. Many ex- pressed their sorrow with flowers, some of which reached the church even be~ fore the body. The Army physician who examined the body found no burns and expressed the conviction that death had been instantaneous as the result of the fall. Army experts who studied the plane wreckage found no sign of damage by lightning and concluded that the avi- to the public, the Mexican consul general an-| features York's | honor, ite ator had been forced down for other reasons in a region which offers few landing facilities. Promoted to Be General. Mexico City, July 14 (A.P.).—Special orders posthumously promoting Capt. Emilio Carranza to be a general ol division with his service record closed with the entry “died in action,” were issued by the war department today. An inscription similar to the service record entry will be carved on = his tomb. All Mexico, from the highest to the lowest, was in mourning today In many towns the motion picture theaters were closed and all social en- tertainments suspended, President-elect Obregon, for whom a great celebration had been arranged for his arrival in Mexico City on Sunday telegraphed from Guadalajara directing his sup- porters to abandon the festivities in his saying that he felt that Capt. Carranza was the only man the Mexi- ‘cans just now should honor and mourn. The French colony made a graceful gesture which the Mexicans must ap- preciate by calling off an elaborate pro- gram celebrating Bastille Day which had long been arranged by the French residents. The sincere grief shown by Dwight W. Morrow, the American Ambassador, has touched the Mexican people deeply. The fact that the ambassador rushed to the foreign office as soon as he heard of the tragedy to present his formal condolences in addition, to his clear manifestation: of personal sorrow and sympathy has appealed tremendously t? people of all classes. The Mexican newspapers featured dispatches detailing the sorrow of the American people over the tragedy. All headlines and other references to the United States were phrased in a most friendly fashion and thus although Capt. Carranza died in doing it, his flight has actually accomplished the utmost of good will and the Mexican people seem to appreciate profoundly the attitude of their neighbors across the border. The highest possible decorations will be - bestowed posthumously, and the next session of congress will be asked by the government to create some spe- cial honor which only Carranza will have. A movement is also under way to have congress vote a pension for his family. All Work Is Halted. Every officer in the Mexican army today wore crepe upon his sword hilt and every’ soldier a black brassard on his arm. All flags were at half-staff and many residences and places of bus- iness were covered with crepe as week of official mourning began today. At noon all work ceased everywhere in. Mexico City for five minutes, and there was complete silence in memory of the flier.. roughout the repub- lic most towns closed everything all day. The president intends to attend the state funeral for the good-will flier when Carranza’s body is returned for burial as a national hero. He sent a number of messengers to the home of the mother and wife, conveying his sorrow and condolences. Both Capt. Carranza’s mother and widow are prostrated with grief, and physiclans are giving careful attention to the wife, who will become a mother within a few months. The Mexico City papers say that Car- ranza’'s mother on the night before the tragedy had a premonition of it. She was unable to sleep and told friends that hithefto she had always been perfectly confident, but that she was then unable to shake off a new, strange feeling of evil. The papers also published an un- confirmed report that President-elect Obregon, because of interest in the flight and a desire to protect the fam- ily, had taken out $25,000 life in- surance On Carranza for his family.

Niriam Noel Wright, prominent English sculptress and authoress, today was sentenced in city justice court’to serve 30 days in jail after she pleaded guilty to a charge of malicious mischief. The action was the result of her visit yesterday afternoon to the La Jolla home of her husband, Frank Lloyd Wright, well-known architect, when she destroyed house furnishings valued at $1,000 Sentence was suspended on condition that she reimburse the agent for the owner of the property for the damage done. Following the court action, Mrs. Wright swore out complaints against her husband and Olga Hinzenberg, also named as Olga Milanoff, Montenegrin dancer, charging them with being “lewd and dissolute persons.” Bail for each was fixed at $150 ta’betome effective if the warrants are served. The marital troubles of Wright and his wife have extended through Wiscon- sin, Illinois and Minnesota to Callfor- nia. Mrs. Wright described the place as a love nest in which Wright and Mme. Milanoff were living. No one was at home when she made the raid. The Wright home is a small cottage at La Jolla, a suburb, and the architect was said to have had hundreds of dol- lars worth of valuable furniture and art objects there. Mrs. Wright said she went to the home determined upon a final inter- view with her husband and the woman who she claims has Broken up her home and stolen Wright's love. Upon arriving at the Wright home, one of the finest bungalows in the ex- clusive suburb, she found only a negro maid in the house. Infurlated because her husband and the dancer were not in, she then spent her wrath upon the household furnishings, police said. Mrs. Wright said that the oné-year term for an interlocutory decree of di- vorce between herself and Wright has not yet expired and that she would once more attempt to prosecute him on a statutory charge.

SMITH ASSOCIATION OF WORLD ON OUTING Members Must Bear Name Without Variations; Order Is Nonpolitical. St. Louis, July 14 (A.P.).—Smiths were honored, revered and toasted here today at the first annual outing of the Smith Association of the World.

FAANGE 13 CELEBRATING NER INDEPENDENCE DAY Week-End of Merrymaking Is Under Way; Firecrackers Banned First Time. DANCE IN THE STREETS Paris, July 14 (A.P.).—French kid- dies celebrated France’? Independence Day today with unusual indifference. They were denied for the first time the joy of venting their patriotic senti- ments through firecrackers or torpedo. instruments of youthful self- expression were theoretically pro- hibited several years ago, but the po- lice heretofore had overlooked the reg- ulation. French boys who jumped out of bed in the early hours of the morning with unaccustomed energy and hastened to the stores where fireworks are sold, were turned back coldly with the dec- “No firecrackers this year— pinwheels, snakes, colored fire, Roman candles—yes. ’ But no real noise makers. Most of the youngsters laughed with scorn at Pinwheels, and after the fashion of American boys exclaimed,. “What’s a celebration without firecrackers?” The authorities triec to make up for the suppression of firecrackers by mul- tiplying public displays of fireworks, but failed to propitiate young France, who rebelliously protested against the quiet “glorious Fourteenth.’ There was plenty of beer to quench the thirst of severa' millions who braved the broiling heat to dance in the boulevards and streets of the cities and there was plenty of joy among the perspiring dancers, but none for the boys, because their fire- crackers had been knocked out. At 7 o’clock this morning all avail- able standing room on the Champs Elysees was filled with a multitude awaiting Presiden’ Doumergue’s an- nual military review. Even then the younger generation had not abandoned the squares where they had been danc- ing all night long. The day was ex- ceptionally hot, the downtown tem- peratures ranging from 92 to 98 in the shade, but all Paris turned out for the merry-making. This midsummer let-up has been a traditional affair with the French each year since the populace wrecked the Bastille and with it the old order of things on July 14, 1789. The anniversary arrived with the dawn of today, but the celebrations began last night and will roll along to the sound of music and laughter and the popping of corks until France goes back to work next Monday morning. WORKING COATLESS IS UPHELD BY COURT German Typist Fled at Sight of Employer, Then Sued for Her Wages. (Special Cable Dispatch.) Berlin, July 14.—German business men are just as much entitled to work in shirtsleeves in this hot weather as their American rivals, it was ruled in a sweltering Berlin court today by a Germany's heat wave. The hero who forced this historic de- cision was Herr Busch, proprietor of Jacob Busch Co. In the privacy of his inner office he had discarded his coat and summoned his woman sten- ographer to dictate correspondence. When she entered the room and saw the coatless apparition she fled from the building, then instituted immediate action to recover her wages. Coyly admitting having seen three dozen previous summers, Fraulein Hen- riette blushingly informed the court that the “immoral conduct” of her em- ployer had been too much for her. Discreetly questioned, she acknowledged she could only complain of Herr Busch’'s coatlessness, which she consid- ered “an insult to her honor,” modest- ly adding that she had instantly closed her eyes and fied. The unsympathetic court dismissed her claim and sent her away lamenting the degeneracy of modern morals. (Copyright, 1928, by the Chicago Tribune.)

The paper asserts the truth is that a group of “impenitent, professional révolutionists” tried to foment an antigovernment movement, “seeking to justify their action by many things.” They took advantage of a few dozens of illusioned persons and at the same time made use of the absence of King Alfonso n England and that of Pre- mier Primo di Rivera, who had to go to the Canfranc Pass for the opening of the international railway. “Despite the fact that the govern- ment’s announcement after the plot had been discovered was clear and of a nature to calm the people,” the paper says, ‘commentators have sought out versions of it,-perhaps with bad inten- tions, that are not in accord with reality, but which nevertheless have been spread about.” Bodies of Two Women Ordered Exhumed Chicago, July 14 (A.P.).—Coroner Os< car Wolfe today ordered exhumation of the bodies of two women in order to investigate charges of relatives that they had met with foul play.

Shepherd, 65, who died at her home in Wilmette last Decem- ber, and Mrs. Amelia Seeger, who died last February while aboard the steam- ship Resolute off the Arabian coast. Mrs. Shepherd’s husband asked for ex- humation of her body, claiming his wife died suddenly and stating that a that a number of in reconstructing which is near the | relative who had borrowed money from her was present and that he himself had been drugged. Mrs. Caroline Gran- ady. a distant relative, asked exhuma- tion of Mrs. Seeger’s body, stating she died suddenly while touring the world with another relative whose only ex- planation was the woman became ill a Short time before her death. Mrs. Eldora Stinson Killed in Auto Wreck Washington Courthouse, Ohio, July 14 (A.P.).—Mrs. Eldora Stinson, 64, mother of Roxy Stinson Brast, divorced wife of ‘Jesse Smith and principal wit- ness in the Daughterty senatorial in- vestigation about five years ago, was injured fatally today in an automobile accident three miles from here. Mrs. Brast was trying out a new automobile on the highway near here, when the machine collided with one driven by M. E. Skinner, of Dayton. Mrs. Stinson, who was riding with her daughter, was thrown from the ma- chine. Mrs. Brast was not seriously hurt, but G. J. Boyd, another passenger in her machine, and Miss Versa Davis, who was riding with Skinner, were hurt seriously. Both machines were nearly wrecked. Skinner suffered only minor injuries. 40 Rebels Are Killed By Guards in Mexico Morelia, State of Michoachan, Mexe- ico, July 14 (A.P.).—Forty rebels of a band led by Ladislao Medina, a local chieftain, were killed in a battle in the mountains of Michoacan with a troop of home guards commanded by the Mayor of Patzcuaro, details of which reached here today.

STANDS ON HIS GROUND, EVEN WITH PRELATE Always Late in Starting on Campaigns; He Profits by Errors of Foes. By JAMES O’DONNELL BENNETT. Special to The Washington Post. Albany, N. Y., July 14.—To be sure we call him “Al” in our dispatches. "Tis an echo of the nation’s habit. And from our airy way with him— in dispatches—you would think we roomed with him. But be equally assured, we do not call him “Al” to his face. Neither do many others in public. It was tried once at a party. It was not tried a second time. The party, which was of banquet proportions, was given at the Biltmore where Gov. Smith lives when he is in New York City. .Just before the festivities began one of the banquet committee who thinks he Knows the Governor better, perhaps, than he does, went up to Smith’s apartment and asked him whether he would look in on the ban- quet later and say a few words. “Yes,” said the Governor, good na- turedly, “I'll do that—for a fe... min- utes.” By the time he entered the banqust foom the party had become super- active. There was a good deal of horse- Play upon his entrance; cries of “Al” and “Al, he’s my pal,” and such like boorishness, Smith Repeats Lesson. Unsmilingly, Gov. Smith strode to the indicated place at the head of the tables. He looked out over the ban- queters. Icily he began to speak, say- ing: “When I was a little boy my father lifted me on his shoulder to see a great Parade pass by. A man rode by in a carriage—an open hack. My father said, ‘My son, that’s the Governor of the State of New York. ‘l'ake off your hat.’ I have never forgotten it.” With that Al Smith walked out on the banqueters. In Al Smith’s code Al, the pal, is one being; Alfred E. Smith, Governor of the State of New York and successor of the illustrious Clintons, is another. There- fore, should a Governor, dwelling in a diocese in which a bishop has been newly installed, call first on the bishop or should the bishop call first on the Governor? Gov. Smith hed his ideas on that int. Bishop Gibbons, of Albany, had is. Result: The governor and the bishop did not meet for several weeks. Finally they did meet at a reception, which was neutral ground. “Well, bishop,” said the governor, “this is the first time I’ve seen you.” “I am the bishop,” said his lordship, with a certain austerity. “I am the governor,” said Gov. Smith, with no less formality. It was a dead- lock. But with caddies the governor can cheerfully be pals. Last Sunday was @ cruel day, and after his afternoon game on the links Al Smith said to the caddies, “Well, boys, hot day, double pay,” and he gave the four lads $2 each. Plays Waiting Game. Speaking of bishops, I must tell you about the large and richly frafned pho- tograph of the Bishop of Rome—other- wise, Pope Pius XI—which hangs on a conspicuous wall in the drawing room of the executive mansion. It is a beau- tiful specimen of photography, and on its white margin are these words, in English, in the Pope’s handwriting: “To our beloved son in Christ, Gov Alfred E. Smith, in token of our high esteem and wishes, we impart the apos- tolic blessing.” Then came the signa- ture and the date, “Christmastide, 1924.” On the wall on the opposite side of the arched doorway hangs a portrait of Cardinal Hayes, and on another wall another prelate. Gov. Smith will open his campaign Tate. It will be Labor Day before he gets into the full swing of it. That has always been his way with cam- paigns. He plays a waiting game. He waits for the other fellow to make mistakes and then he swoops down on them like @ hawk, tearing them apart and shak- ing them out before the electorate. He waits for the other fellow to make @ blundering utterance. For nearly a decade the Republican leaders of the State of New York have displayed a genius of blundering utterances. By seizing upon the blundering utterances of one politician he has just about ex- tinguished young Roosevelt, Sure of His Facts. Fully comprehending the handicap of a@ limited education, Al Smith knows that what he does know he must know to the core. Hence he takes time to study before he utters anything. Old Tom Foley—now gone—was Al’s _first political mentor. ‘Twas he who pushed Al forward for assembyman and told Tammany to elect him as such. So Ai went up to Albany. Three years there and hardly’a chirp out of him— he still reading bills and sizing up men. The larrybucks in Al’s home bailiwick grew restless and doubtful. “Tom,” said they to Foley, “when is that boy of yours going to get started?” “You wait,” replied Tom. “Al is no morning glory.” And so it was. As legislator Al Smith did not bloom quickly and fade away. He lasted. It was that way in his cam- paign for governor against Ogden Mills two years ago. The party wheel horses got awfully nervous, and they kept saying, “Al, when are you going to start? It’s getting late.” Al started when he got good and ready and that was when the high- class Mills began to make low-class blundering utterances. One of Mills’ daisies was: “If I am elected governor I will get along with the legislature like a coo- ing dove.” Al Picks “Cooing Dove.” | Al flew to that like a bee to a posy. He opened a mighty meeting in | é#Hermanue Bleeker Hall, Albany, with the words: “Our text for tonight is the. ~ cooing dove.” He hammered that home for an hour —with names, dates and figures. He was fast and loud, shouting: ‘Was The- odore Roosevelt a cooing dove? I'll gay not. He was scrapping with the Ai ature all the time. Was Gov. by hes a cooing dove? I'll tell the world he wasn't. He had to go to the stump to get the legislation setting up 3 public service commission.” He swept into the beginning of his eli which .

Y., July 14 (A.P.).— Printing of pamphlets attacking Gov. Alfred E. Smith is believed to have led to the wrecking early today of the printing plant of H. Edward Newton, The plant was entered by forcing open a door. All the windows were shattered, type was thrown out into the street, printed matter was destroyed and a large number of the anti-Smith pamphlets carried away. Damage was estimated by Newton at $500. Newton said he was given an order for the pamphlets a week ago and that he had run them off according to the instructions of the man who gave the order. He disclaimed knowledge either of the name or address of his customer. Thursday afternoon five men entered his shop, Newton said, and told him they did not like either his political views or his manner of airing them. They ordered him to stop printing and distributing the pamphlets. The following night his shop was placarded with Smith-for-President signs. Some time after midnight last night the shop was entered and a patrolman discovered the vandalism while on his rounds early today. The attack on Gov. Smith ts cap- tioned, “when,” it begins, “when a jackass learns to sing tenor and the rattlesnake walks on legs,” continues in this vein for a number of lines and ends, “then Al Smith will be President and the country won't be worth @ damn.” Heflin Makes Speech; No Mention of Smith Oil City, Pa., July 14 (A.P.).—Sen- ator Heflin, of Alabama, speaking at an open-air gathering near here today, made no mention of the Democratic presidential nominee, Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, whom the senator has attacked in his anti-Catholic ut- terances Senator Heflin praised the eighteenth amendment, attacked what he described as the “Roman Catholic political machine,” and criticized Amer- ican newspapers. The senator said that three-fourths of the American press was subsidized by the Catholic Church, a part by money control and the remainder by the use of boycott. No reference was made to the pres- ent presidential campaign. NEGRO REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN CAPITAL C. |. Mitchell and John R. Hawkins Mentioned to Head Race Organization. An influx of negro politiclans was noted yesterday, many having come here because of the widespread report that Charles I. Mitchell, of West Vir- ginia, was about to be named head of whatever organization is effected by the Republican party to get out the negro vote. Notable among the group were George W. Harris, of New York; W. T. Andrews, of Baltimore; Albion L. Holsey, of Tuskegee, and Claude Bar- nett, of Chicago. The report concern- ing Mitchell’s selection, following con- ferences, was deemed the result of an effort of West Virginia politicians to put a candidate in the ring. Mitchell occupied a position of general authority in the New York headquarters four years ago. His West Virginia colleagues argued that his past experience, as well as the fact that West Virginia is a doubtful State. made him the logical candidate. Poli- ticians,- however, have for the past fortnight, conceded whatever authori- tative position of managership or service might be given a negro in the campaign to John R Hawkins, who, in many respects, represents a new era in politics among negroes. Hawkins was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Kansas City from the District of Col- umbia. He occupies a position here as secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination considered the most influential in the negro Method- ist church. He is also president of the Prudential Bank, and a firm be- liever in negro financial support of colored political organizations. Action on selection of a colored man in charge of the customary organization is not expected for more than a week. scrapped for everything I’ve got from the legislature.” He flung out like banners his closing words, which were: A “The people of the State of New York want clear-headed, strong-minded fighting men at the head of the gov- ernment and not cooing doves. Let the doves roost in the eaves of the capitol. not in the executive chamber. So much was: “I am no cooing’ for the doves. Let us pass them up.” Old Hermanus Bleeker Hall shook to the storm of cheering. “Cooing doves” is still a by-word from Montauk Point to Niagara Falls. OIL MAGNATE AND WARD-BRIDE | E. W.

In the afternoon the chiefs of bu- reaus Of the department had sent to the Secretary a request that he see them. When the Secretary walked into a room in the department in which his associates were assemnbled they cheered and applauded. The Secretary pointed out that this was the last conference they were to have, and said that “during the seven years we have been together you have cooperated to the limit in helping to build up a new department. We have tried to get away from the routine and establish one of the greatest depart- ments in the Government. The achieve- ments are largely due to your coopera- tion,” On behalf of the division chiefs, Dr George K. Burgess, director of the Bu- reau of Standards, told Secretary Hoo- ver that “though we delight in the thought of your being called to higher place, for which you are s0 preem}- nently fitted to serve your country, we regret even the temporary severance of our ties and wish you Godspeed through all the future years.” a 2. , , . be Pa Peege ie . *, = be eles at . eS ‘ ¥ ee ie , er 8 Oe eee ae cf e a. fl 6 ac —t (ie ell Fi Pek aes 7 , f dy rm ; Oh Ves : 7 : ‘ #s > ae ‘ } ps —s had HOOVER AND CURTIS CLUB FORMED HERE ~— TO GET OUT VOTES Capt.

MEET AT INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis, Ind. July 14 (A.P.).— Adjournment until Monday afternoon was taken today by ‘the international policy committee of the United Mine Workers of America, meeting here to determine a future union policy in the bituminous coal fields. but it was be- lieved that most of the facts affecting thei: decision have been presented. For two hours and three quarters the length of today’s session, the floor was held by W. J. Sneed, of Herrin, IIl., vice president of the Illinois district of the union. He is understood to have outlined comprehensively the union situation in the [Illinois soft coal mines. Keeping the silence he has maintain- ed since the committee opened its de- liberations Wednesday. President John L. Lewis refused to comment on the session, or to predict how long it would continue next week. Some district rep- resentatives, however, who came to In- dianapolis unprepared for a prolonged at the headquarters Wednesday night at 8 o'clock to perfect organization and outline plans for an energetic campaign. Former members of the Coolidge and Dawes Club are urged to be present and bring other Republicans with them meeting, are said to desire to bring it to an early conclusion. Whether the Jacksonville agreement, written in 1924, remains an effective basis for union miners’ participation in wage negotiations, was believed to be the principal subject of debate, with the [illinois district situation the yard- stick by which the committee will measure its usefulness. The Jackson- ville scale provides for $1.08 per ton for men on a tonnage basis and $7.50 per day for day wage men Operators have contended they can not pay such a scale and compete with nonunion mines.

M. While at the department Secretary Hoover conferred with a few political leaders, including Mis.

Following the last conference with hi, colleagues at the department, Hoover went to his S street home and made the final preparations for the Western trip. The first stop whk'‘ch Secretary Hoover has scheduled on his West- ward journey will be made today when he arrives at Chicago. There he will confer with Vice President Charles G Dawes. This is regarced politically as one of the most important of the moves which Hoover will make while soing across the continent, as it Is expected to rally Dawes actively to the Hoover standard, although the Vice President had favored the nomination of Lowden up to the time of the convention. Leaving Chicago the Hoover party will proceed to Superior, Wis., where Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will be the guests of President and Mrs. Coolidge at the summer White House. During the two days that he will re- main there, President Coolidge and the candidate will confer on political plans, the first real conference between the two since Hoover was nominated. I‘ is expected that as a.result of the conference the part which President Coolidge will take in the campaign will be definitely mapped out. The Hoover car is expected to leave Superior Tuesday night, with the next stop at Omaha, Nebr., this stop being necessary in order to make train con- nections. Gov. Adam McMullen, a Lowden supporter and original sponsor of the abortive march of the farmers on Kan- sas City, will escort Hoover across Ne- braska and en route will discuss meas- ures to be taken in support of the can- didate. Arrived in San Francisco, Secretary Hoove~ will motor to his home at Le- land Stanford University. There he will rest for a few days and put the finishing touches on the acceptance address which he will deliver at the notification ceremonies at his home on August 11. Plans have been made for an impressive reception for the candi- date both at his home and on his ar- rival at San Francisco. After the notifification ceremony, Mr. Hoover will start on the return trip to Washington. He will stop off on the way back for a night in the town of West Branch, Iowa, where he was born Police Pay Checks Stolen and Cashed Special to The Washington Post. New York, July 14.—The irritating adroitness of an Arsene Lupin has New York police headquarters in a turmoil. Reluctantly it was admitted today that a thief had come right into head- quarters, stolen pay checks of three de- tectives, cashed them and vanished with the money, leaving not a clew 1c his identity. The mysterious cheka of the depart- ment, Deputy Chief Inspector Lewis J Valentine’s force within a force, had tis secret detectives scurrying here and there all day, but they failed to solve The crime was committed an even fortnight ago, but so jealoysly was the embarrassing secret guarded that Jt leaked out only today. The checks were in the main office of the paymaster at headquarters, where P detectives, as they come in for assign- ments, call for them. When a safe anda loft squad detective and two Oak Street Station detectives called for their checks, they were missing. They came back, cashed und canceled, on July 5. Smith Is to Visit Wisconsin.

os ‘a FOR ORY LAW POSTS -VEXES CIMIL SERVIC Must Pick 2,500 Agents and > Investigators From 19,- | 000 Prospects. —_-— ee -- e WORK HAS TAKEN 50 OFFICIALS SIX MONTHS Written and Oral Tests and Examination of All Rec- ords Necessary. To select 2,500 persons as agents and investigators of the Prohibition Bureau from 19,000 applicants is far from an easy task. Six months ago 50 officials and employes of the Civil Service Com- mission essayed that task and today their work is just nearing completion. Congress, in March, 1927, approved an act placing the Prohibition Bureau positions under the civil service law. The commission immediately an- nounced examinations, but Congress failed to pass the deficiency bill and the commission was without funds for carrying out the huge task. However, late in December, 1927, Congress pro- vided the commission with funds for carrying out the work, and the exam- ination work was begun. Under the direction of Harry T. Kranz, who has had years of experi- ence in similar work for the commis- sion, 50 commission Officials and em- ployes began the examination task, The process of examining the appli- cants, which numbered 19,000, not only involved the usual written tests, but in addition oral tests and a care- ful examination of the personal rec- ords of the applicants. Because of the legislation, which put the dry bureau under the civil service law, great uncertainty reigned among the agents and employes of the bu- reau. It became apparent that scores of the dry bureau’s agents and em- ployes were unable to pass an ordinary civil service test. The Civil Service Commission ex- pects finally to rate the tests of the applicants early in August and then to begin certifying to the prohibition bureau lists of eligibles for agents and investigators. This will tend to further the con- fusion and uncertainty at the Prohi- bition Bureau. Heads of the bureau are in doubt as to what extent they are going to be deprived of the services of experienced agents and investigators and be forced to rely on the services of “green” men. The staff of 50, under Krantz’ direc- tion, has completed the rating of the written tests, and the oral and charac- ter examinations are virtually com- pleted. All applicants will be notified of their examination results as soon as possible. The commission will follow its usual procedure of reannouncing examina- tions for agents, andg investigators in any dry district for which the present examination fails to produce a suffi- cient number of eligibles. Any person who meets the requirements may com- pete in the second examination, even if he failed in the first test. The incumbents of the 2,500 posl- tions are serving under temporary ap- pointments. If the temporary employes are competitors for retention, they re- ceived the same tests as all other ap- plicants. Temporary employes will be permitted to serve in their present posts until examinations for their po- sitions are completed and eligibles are certified. ‘ Until such a time as the commission can certify qualified eligibles for per- manent appointment, the prohibition commissioner is permitted to fill any vacancies which may occur by selecting temporary appointees from the list of persons now under consideration in the commission’s examinations. . In this way the work of the Prohibition Bu- reau will go on without interruption despite the delay in the completion of the examinations and the certification of eligibles. Dumont to Conclude French Army Service The detail of Brig. Gen. G. A. L. Du- mont as military attache to the French Embassy here will terminate on July 31, when Gen. Dumont will celebrate his sixtieth natal anniversary and 40 years of active service in the French army. He will be transferred to the second section reserve of the French genéral staff. On July 29, Gen. Dumont will leave Washington for New York City, where he will sail for France on August 4. Gen. Dumont arrived in the United States as the French military attache in, January, 1922, when he held the rank of colonel. He was promoted to be a brigadier general in June, 1923. His successor has not yet been named. The armouncement of Gen. Dumont’s re- tixement was made yesterday at the War Department. MURRAY HU of New York, was elected as the Elks’ grand exalted ruler at the 1928 meeting in Miami, Fla. MOTORIZATION BOARD FOR ARMY APPOINTED Maj. Matthew H. Thomlinson Heads Group to Reduce Use of Animals. To consider the advisability of further reduction of animals in the Army and the possible furtherance of motoriza- tion, a board of six Army officers has been appointed by Secretary of War Dwight Davis, it was announced yester- day at the War Department. The board is composed of Maj. Mat- thew H. Thomlinson, Infantry; Maj James J. O'Hara, Cavalry; Maj. Charles L. Scott, Quartermaster Corps; Ma} Rene E. de R. Hoyle, General Staff; Maj. Marion O. French, General Staff, a Capt. Miles A. Cowles, Field Artil- ery. Figures of the Remount Service, Quartermaster Corps, indicate that ap- proximately 40,000 animals were em- ployed by the Army during the fiscal year of 1927 at the various posts, camps and stations of the service throughout the United States.

EIGHT EVENTS ON LIST A new cooperative music and civic effort is about to be inaugurated in the National Capital, with interesting welfare and charitableWeatures for the benefit of any established organization that cares to take advantage of the op- portunity. The plan is to bring the best music to Washingtonians, at a time that is convenient to the large majority, which is the evening hour, and at a price that is suited to the pocketbooks of the greatest number of citizens. Josef Hoffman, John Charles Thom- as, Maria Jeritza, Efram Zimbalist and Sophie Braslau are among the artists listed, with Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, and the Little Symphony, of Philadelphia, together with a lim- ited number of assisting artists of Washington. The course will present seven or eight events, and is to be known as the “Washington Cooperative Artist Concert Course.” The events will be held in the Washington Audi- torium, beginning October 25, with Josef Hoffman, pianist. It is desired to sell tickets for the entire course during the month of August. To that end welfare and char- itable organizations are invited to co- operate in the selling of course tickets at $5 and at $10 each, without war tax, one-fifth of the total proceeds of the sale going to the various organizations making the sales. Plans are now being perfected for leading charitable, welfare and edui- cational organizations to take charge of the sale of the majority of the sea- son tickets for their own benefit. Capt. M. H. Parsons, chief of the Welfare Association of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, is already cooperating to the extent of placing course tickets in all the news- stands operated by his bureau in Fed- eral buildings, for convenience of gov- ernment employes. By this arrangement, 30 per cent on all course ticket sales will go to the various activities, and the gen- eral program of the association, such as the creation and support of tennis courts for Government employes and the public; maintenance of tea rooms within the parks and other recreational and civic plans under Capt. Parsons’ directions. No course tickets will go on sale un- til August 1. A prorminent banker ig the city will serve as treasurer and Dr. Harold M.

The amatcurs. were given several bands of wave lenzths below 200 meters and the commercial interests found that the wave lengths below 200 meters Were particularly well adapted for long- range communication with reduced power. Now there is a great demand for wave lengths and opportunity to com- municate internationally and na- radiotelephone* and Tadiotelegraph. This constantly growing interest in radio communication extends through- out the world, and it is necessary to strictly supervise the operation of all stations to prevent interference na- tionally and internationally between the commercial services, private serv- ices and Government services. It is not unusual for the radio in- spectors of the Department of Com- merce who have put in their full day’s work at the office or in inspection work to remain on duty until midnight or later checking the wave lengths, or fre- quency, or operating stations to deter- mine if there is any interference, which stations are violating the law or the provisions of their license. Inspection Widely Extended. In the early days it was necéssary to inspect ship stations and stations working with ships only. Now it is necessary to inspect all stations and to carefully observe their operation. These ever-increasing duties have taxed the inventor and the manufac- turer to provide accurate measuring in- struments for the use of our service. Few people realize the difficulty of policing the ether highways and en- deavoring to prevent conflict between these invisible carriers of messages re- lating to distress, commerce, entertain- Ment, education, farm reports, stock reports, weather forecasts, time signals, Government communications, pictures, the many other messages of various character which are passing through the ether hourly not only originating in this country but many of them originating in other countries and often passing fac-simile messages and through this country. Equipment of Service. . . The inspection service is now equip- ed with four radio test cars, and we Will have two more before the end ot - this year. These cars are providing a great ton- venience in enabling the inspector to travel around the country without hav- ing to rely on infrequent train service in any place and accomplishing much more work. It would be impossible to transport this apparatus by train and use it efi- ciently. The radio inspection serv.ce of the Dcpariment of Commerce is per- forming all of the field work required the Federal Radio Coirmission, waich Eoiven certain administrative author- ity under the Radio Communications Law of 1927. « What was called the Radio Service, Ow the Radio Division, was organized July 1, 1911, to enforce the radio law applying to ships. * ‘This law provides that it is unlaw- ful for any steamship, foreign or American, carrying 50 or more persons and running 200 miles or more be- tween ports, to leave, or attempt to lefve, a port of the United States without having a radio installation in good working order capable of work- ing 100 miles day or night and an emergency source of power which may he substituted for the ship’s source of power if necessary. "The taw also provides that the in- atallation shall be in charge of two or more radio operators, in order that a*continuous watch may be maintain- ed. while the vessel is being navigated. service is maintained to give pro- tion to lives and property and it has been instrumental in saving many lives and many vessels. ..The inspectors of the radio division are directed to give first consideration _ the important duty of inspecting e radio installations on ships before the vessels sail. ’ During the fiscal year 1927, 9,330 in- spections were made of vessels coming under the law and 1,405 ifspections were made of vessels voluntarily equipped with radio, making a total of 10,735 inspections of ship installations during that fiscal year.

OFF THE ANTENNA By ROBERT D. HEINL. HE political pills for radio listeners will be sugar-coated with music. Due to the fact that listeners will. not stand for an un- adulterated diet of long speeches, the forthcoming campaign is expected to be the most musical in the history of presidential campaigns. Just as well-known hours on the air have their familiar musical trade- marks at the beginning and ending of the programs, the principal candi- dates will be introduced by tunes the public will quickly recognize. It hardly need be said that the official song for Gov. Al Smith will be “East Side, West Side.’””’ Mr. Hoover will be Introduced by the already familiar strains of ‘“‘California, Here I Come,’’ Senator Joe Robinson. “The Arkansas Traveler,” the veteran tune of them all, and Senator Charles Curtis, “Kansas, Sunny Kansas.”’ , Even the issues will be put to music. The first sign of this was when listeners-in on Houston proceedings heard bands down there playing “How Dry I Am.” Already have come paraphrases of the ‘‘Governor'’s Own” in “East Side-Wet’s Side” and “Yeast Side-Wet Side,” the latter having been coined by our oww George Rothwell Brown. Acquiescing to the suggestion that everything possible be said with music there is a likihood of a probable treatment of the religious issue in the announcement by Representative Franklin Fort, of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican national committee, that the G. O. P. will wage their presidential race to the tune of “Onward, Christian Soldiers.” Forerunners of the musical campaign to greet the “We're for Al. We've Had Enough of Cal’ and “‘Good-by Cal—Hello Al.” With this as a curtain raiser, the music will go on and on, with speeches sandwiched in to capture the stay-at-home radio voters. listeners are between Although having nothing to do with radio, excepting that it came to us through a radio correspondent in New York, here is a good story about Gov. Al Smith. It seems the governor came out of the Biltmore Hotel just in time to see the fire chief coming up the street. The governor quick as a flash signaled him to stop, told his chauffeur to take Mrs. Smith to wherever they had started for, got into the red tar with the fire chief and went on with him to the fire. Several weeks ago we bought for use in our office during the national political conventions a six-tube portable radio receiving set. It worked very satisfactorily and was just the thing for our purpose. When the dry batteries ran down we called up the company we had purchased the set from and asked if they could replace the batteries for us. This was about 9:30 o’clock on the morning of the 3d of July and It was carefully explained that we desired to take the portable with us in the country over-the 4th. The company’s representative promised to send a man over “right away,” but so far as we know he hasn’t ar- rived yet. Nor, assuming he may have come after we left the office, has there been any word or inquiry from the concern in question. Whether this apparent indifference toward a cash customer is typical we do not know, but we do know we have heard of case after case— especially where battery sets were concerned—of dealers losing interest after having sold a set. Not that every dealer must go into the servicing business—for had our man told us his concern was not in this business we would have gladly gone somewhere else. Nevertheless the weak link in the radio mer- chandising chain is servicing and repairing and until dealers meet this situation and, guarantee or no guarantee, make it a practice fo stand by the purchaser for a reasonable period after the purchase there is bound to be an increasing amount of dissatisfaction on the part of the purchasers and these merchants will surely be the losers in the end, Complimentary comments have been heard on a program much above the average put on over WRC last Tuesday by the Guild Chorus of the D. C. Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, Under the direction of Otto T. Simon with Adolf Toravsky at the piano the Washingtonians had what is known in the theatrical world as a “tough spot on the bill,’ inasmuch as they followed the Eskimos, one at the best liked of the popular orchestras and were themselves im- mediately followed by the Slumber Hour Sextet, which in our opinion is the best organization of its kind on the air. Nevertheless the local performers gave a pleasing and artistic pro- gram. It is to be hoped that we may hear more from them during the coming season, Apropos our reference last Sunday to Roxy being the first person to preak down the theory of a silent broadcasting background by allowing applauding’ audiences to be heard, musicians tuning their instruments, and so on, this comes from a feminine listener in Mount Pleasant, ~ “IT think Hoxy has now gone to the other extreme,’”’ she remarked. “There is a forced laughter about Roxy’s Gang. It sounds as if they had been pinched to do it. ‘No human beings laugh so often or act like that naturally.” ' Although apparently oblivious to the microphone when preaching— at least seeming to make no studied effort to keep within its range— the voice of Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, who will be heard from the Peace Cross on Mount St. Albans this afternoon, comes over the air with un- usual clearness, This despite the fact the services are held out of doors and without acoustical advantages such as are afforded inside Bethlehem Chapel, where Canon Stokes is generally heard.” ~ Not many speakers have held a radio audience for a whole hour in this country, but Sir Oliver Lodge is among those Who have done it in England. , | i ’ At least two listeners in Washington have crystal sets which bring in Both live within a few he | park road.

ASSAIL COMMISSION FOR POLICY IT ADOPTS Anger Expressed at Calling So Many Here at Once, Jam- ming Investigations. The question being asked if the at- tempt to revoke the licenses of 164 of the smaller and less influential stations is being so generally and so unexpect- edly fought, what sort of an upheaval will the general reallocation bring, which in one way or another may af- fect every broadcasting station in the United States? This will come with the commission's move to put into effect the amendment to the radio act to divide the wave lengths, power and licenses of all broadcasting stations equally among the five zones of the country. But the commission isenot through with the smaller stations yet, by a long shot. With more than 107 out of the 164 stations showing fight through per- sonal representation (and possibly oth- ers through affidavits in leu of per- sonal appearance), the hearings are Staggered along at the rate of from ten to fifteen a day until Thursday. The commission came in for consid- erable criticism in calling representa- tives of the more than 100 stations from all parts of the United States on one day Commission Explains Call. It was said on behalf of the com- mission that the summons was simply intended to assemble the broadcasters for docketing purposes and to find out how many desired to be heard, when it would be most convenient for them to be heard, and about how much time they desired for their hearings. This was evidently not the under- Standing of the station representatives, who poured into Washington from the North, East and West last Monday. when it was so torrid that eggs could be fried on the pavement of Pennsyl- vania avenue For the most part they brought along their witnesses, expecting that cases would. be heard, and that they could start back home the same day Where a handfull had been expected, more than 300 station representatives, lawyers and witnesses packed them- selves into the auditorium of the In- terior Department Building,- where the commission took up its quarters. Pieas Flooded Commission. The time asked by these stations for their hearings when their representa- tives arrived here totaled 84 hours and the number of witnesses 140. However, one broadcaster, Jacob Conn, of station WCOT, at Providence, R. I., threw the meeting into an uproar when he an- nounced he would bring 500 witnesses. “I have the promise that 100 auto- mobiles will come to*Washington from Providence for my hearing,” Mr. Conn declared. “and each automobile will carry about six witnesses.” Following this Joseph Fairbanks, a Washington lawyer, arose to say he rep- resented a client who desired to back up the commission in forcing WCOT off the alr Mr. Fairbanks characterized the station as a public nulsance. A typical delegation was that headed by Norman Thomas, national Socialist candidate, who appeared on behalf of station WEVD, of New York, the me- morial dedicated to Eugene V. Debs. Mr. Thomas was accompanied by G. August Gerber, manager of the station, and several others. When apprized of the situation, Mr. Thomas protested to the commission openly. Protest By Socialist. “This procedure entails an almost im- possible expense for smaller stations to be required to come all the way to Washington,” Mr. Thomas declared, “only to be told when the hearing will actually be held.” In conversation later, Mr. Thomas remarked that he didn’t know whether summoning all at once wag a move to tire out the smaller stations in hopes they wouldn't come back again for their hearing or whether “it was plain ar on the part of the commis- sion.” Even so, if it hadn’t been for the yielding of former Representative Frank D. Scott, counsel for the Na- tional Broadcasters Association, who allowed some of his cases to be post- poned, the Socialists would not have had their hearing until three days later. Some Opinions Expréssed. Other broadcasters observed that it seemed to them the commission could have secured the desired information through a mail questionnaire in ad- vance, set the time of the hearing, and thus saved many what was character- ized as a wild goose chase to Washing- ton. There was also criticism of the com- mission in not giving advance notice of its intention to exclude all evidence such as letters and petitions not sworn to. This apparently took the broadcast- ers by surprise, many of them rushing to the telegraph office in order to wire home for the necessary affidavits.

One Music Headed Toward Madhouse. To the Radio Editor of The Wash- ington Post—Sir: You have started a good thing. When cne sends a com- plimentary letter to a broadcasting sta- tion he z.aturally leaves out his com- plaints and it behooves the broadcast- ers to take note of your radio column, My pet aversions are: 1, Too many embryonic sopranos who are encouraged to sing when the trill off color. 2. Too many half-baked musical numbers savoring of adolescence, blues and mush, 1, e., musical education headed towards the madhouse. 3. Too much jazz—of course, and constant repeti- tion of so-called “new lists” until they become nauseating. However, I must acknowledge that some orchestras have @ fascinating way of rendering this barbaric music in true artistic style by the use of suitable instruments and the avoidance of noise, clash and lack of harmony. 4. Too many negro spirituals. The, are bad enough in the open, but infinitely worse over the wires. 5. I regret to find the “Eveready Hour’ depreciating. This may be explained, perhaps, by the confession of Mr. Furness, not long since, that he is “just crazy” about the modernistic tender.cy toward “jazz and blues.” He certainly employed the right word, as this tendency surely leads to the insane asylums. I like the “news flashes” of the WMAL, but of late I often hesitate to turn them on because the energetic flasher does not confine himself to the news, But likes to indulge in too many day in two different articles I read that something came in “clear as a bell.” If your writing gentlemen don’t look out this expression will become as trite as “‘please stand by.” WATCHIT. July 8, 1928. Extra Sunday Hour. To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: The two programs added to the Sunday evening schedule—Lew White in an organ recital and the South Sea Islanders with Normal Clark—were very much appreciated. I have wished time and again that the Sunday night pro- grams were not so short during the summer months and think the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. has filled a real need by giving its audience this extra hour of entertainment.

TELEVISION MEANING IS TOLD BY EXRERT R. H. Langley, Crossley Engi- neer, Explains How Public Is Misled by Term. Maintaining that the public, not real- izing the essential differences and the technicai difficulties involved, may be easily misled hy the loose use of the expression, R. H. Langley, director of engineering of the Crosley Radio Cor- poration, explains ‘what television is and what it is not. “Television means ‘seeing at a dis- tance,”’ Mr. Langley declares. “On this basis, any method of recreating on the screen a moving distant scene si- multaneously with the action itself ts television. The simultaneity is, how- nanw mODd-I-J ever, absolutely essential. “A motion picture is a record of a moving scene, and a motion picture in itself constitutes television except that it lacks the essential element of si- multaneity. “The transmission over wires and recreation on the screen of a distant moving scene is television. The same transmission by radio is also television and may be called radio television, but the contraction ‘radio vision’ is likely to be decidedly misleading, “There is already one corporaticn which uses this word in its co rpora title, and yet is not offering anything. approaching television or radio tele- vision. “The transmission and reproduction of a still scene or a still picture is not television and should be called picture manent whether by wire or by radio. . ‘ “Because there are today several rea- sonably successful methods of picture , it can not be inferred that true television is near at hand. The problems of true television are en- : [atenéait ‘than. ‘tne problems of asta Pakenane |Nanking dictatorship or TRECOGNITION BY U.S. fo ELD FIRGT GOAL OF CHINESE REGIME All Phases of American Polit- ical Campaign Watched by Government. INTEREST RUNS HIGH IN HOOVER’S CANDIDACY Factions Declare and Deny He Favored British in Boxer Days. Shanghai, July 14 (A.P.).—National- ist China, torn by dissension but nom- inally unified, is preparing to stake everything on one great prize, greater than Peking, greater than any of its military triumphs—American recogni- tion, In the program of the leaders at Nan- king the reconstruction phase of the revolution is at hand and they believe that their task would .be aided enor- mously if the United States established formal diplomatic relations with the new regime. All phases of the American presiden- tial campaign, particularly the candi- dacy of Secretary Hoover, are being watched with interest. The fact that the Republican nominee knew China in the Boxer days has caused wide speculation concerning his present atti- tude toward China and the whole Pa- cific question. A faction still exists which says that in 1900, when Mr. Hoover was an arbi- trator between British and Chinese mining groups, his decision went to the British. There is another faction which claims that this was the only possible decision. / Brought .Old Problem. The capture of Peking found China faced with the same problem of unifi- cation that has existed almost from time immemorial. At present the cap- ital is at Nanking, for the Nationalists and their allies, the Kuominchun of Feng *Yu-hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan of Shansi, recognize that tacitly as the seat of authority. But the permanent attitude of Feng Yu-hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan remains to be revealed. They may accept the they may demand that the capital be removed to Peking. Their attitude on this question will be indicative of their general attitude toward the Nanking government. The Nanking government is now faced with the problem of establishing its asserted national authority. If Nanking becomes the recognized na- tional, not Nationalist, government, by the provinces, not foreign powers, China will in fact be united. But if regionalism continues there will be more wars uftil China is centralized or the rights of the provinces to fre- gional governments is recagnized, Taxation to Be Issue, The issue will be taxation: Nanking now collects taxes from Chekiang, Kiangsu, Kiangsi and Anhwel prov- inces, Shanghai contributes the largest share. Shanghai, including its foreigners, paid for the last half of the northern expedition. The peace budget will involve large expenditures for re- habilitation, especially in Honan and Shantung, because of their pitiable condition. If the Nanking govern- ment can collect taxes in all provinces, flying the Nationalist flag and distrib- ute them on a national basis and are not contributed to the war chest of one dndividual, then unification may result. Otherwise there will be more fighting in the fall when the heat is not so intense, The foreign relations of the Na- tionalists are also extremely fluid. Dr. Cc. T. Wang, former Peking official and veteran of numerous negotiations with foreign nations, assumed the post of minister of foreign affairs following the Tsinan incident with the Japanese. Dr. Wang is looked upon as a Feng Yu- hsiang man and is taken as another indication that the one time “Christian general” seeks to extend his influence to and finally dominate Nanking. Unylelding Policy Expected. Dr. Wang is expected to follow an “unyielding” foreign policy as regards his dealings with the powers. One of the first tasks confronting him is to get the Japanese out of Shantung, where there are now anywhere from T8,000 to 30,000 Japanese soldiers, de- pending upon which report is taken as accurate of Japanese military move- ments in that province. Treaty revision is another job await- ing the new foreign minister. Im- mediately following his assumption of office, Dr. Wang was credited by the Chinese press with the following state- ment: “I shall make it one of my first tasks to abolish all existing unequal treaties between China and foreign countries. As a first step in this direc- tion I shall renounce those Sino- foreign treaties the terms of which have already expired and conclude in their places treaties based on equality be- tween nations and reciprocity. The most unequal of all unequal treaties is the tariff convention. I shall take im- mediate steps to bring this question to the attention of the powers and secure tariff autonomy for China the quickest possible.” Thus despite the fall of Peking unil- fication of China remains a distant goal. Only future events can disclose whether Nanking’s authority will be- come really national ov if further wars are in the offing with resulting new alignments of China's sot of military chieftains. French Must Fight Feminists in Open Paris, July 14 (A.P.).—French sena- tors blocking votes for women must henceforth fight in the open. During the last 10 years bills extending suf- frage to women have been killed in the senate by anonymous votes. Sentiment against the has always been so dominant in the upper house that voting was done by show of hands, precluding the pds- sibility of a record.

? y . el CLUB HERE STARTS TO GET OUT RECORD VOTE FOR ELECTION Simon Michelet Begins Drive to Have 50,000 in City Mail Ballots Home. TWENTY-NINE STATES ALLOW THIS METHOD Issues Expected to Raise Na- tional Total to Somewhere Near 35,000,000. A record number of ballots will be mailed out of Washington in the com- ing presidential election, Simon Michelet, president of the National Get-Out-The-Vote Club, predicted yes- terday. He also predicted that the mumber of persons here who will go home to vote will be larger than ever. No check-up has ever been made to determine accurately how many “ab- sentee voters” live in the National Capital, but local politicians believe that the number is around 50,000. A majority of these come from States which allow voting by mail. The last survey made by Mr. Michelet showed that 29 States permit voting by mail. Many of these, however, re- quire that the absentee go home to register. Upwards of a third of the states permit both registration and balloting by mail. In the near future. the Democratic and Republican organizations in the District will open headquarters in the downtown section and begin a drive for the 50,000 votes here. Clerks Will Explain. Clerks will be on the job to ex- plain to the voters just what the vot- ing laws are in their States, and just how they should proceed to send in their ballots. Mr. Michelet is an attorney, with offices in the Albee Building. Help- ing to “get out the vote” is simply his hobby. It is a hobby, however, to which he has given a great deal of time. In the last six years he has col- lected a great amount of data on vot- ing in this country and has prepared a score of pamphlets on the subject. In the coming election, Mr, Michelet expects that the voters of the nation will arouse themselves from their apathy of the past and poll a huge vote. The candidates and: the issues, he said, insure this. In 1924, Michelet pointed out, only 29,000,000 voters went to the polls, which was Darely over 50 per cent of those who were entitled to vote. Expects Great Increase. In the November election he ex- cts to see between 32,000,000 and 35,- 00,000 votes cast. The United States, according to Michelet, is far behind other countries in getting out the vote. As against the American record of 50 per cent of the voters geing to the polls, he con- trasted the records of other countries. In Great Britain and Germany, about 80 per cent of the qualified voters ex- ercise their franchise. In New Zealand, the percentage is 84. Compact to Prohibit Poison Gas Opposed (Associated Press.) America should not be a party to a world compact prohibiting the use of poison gas in war, H. Edmund Bullis, secretary of the National Assoclation for Chemical Defense, declared here yes- terd:g in announcing that the asso- ciation will cooperate with the In- stitute of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society in a joint meeting in Evanston, Il., on August 18 in develop- ing a “sane perspective” of the prob- lem. “We should not tie our hands,” he said, “by signing any international agreement which would not be en- forced.” He added that the recent escape of phosgene gas from a tank et Hamburg, Germany, was an illus- tration of the difficulty of enforcing such an agreement. At. the Evanston meeting the Ham- burg incident will be studied, he said, as phosgene gas is utilized for com- MeJ/tiai purposes as well as for mili- tary uges. $450 Fur Coat Loot Of Apartment Thief A jimmy thief, such as has been oper- ating recently in local apartment ‘ houses, Friday night jimmied the front door of M.

HELPS MOUNTAIN FOLK |; New York, July 14.—To fulfill a simple request ‘of Abraham Lincoln, one that has long escaped the attention of the country, prominent Americans will shortly announce a movement to raise a fund of $10,000,000, through popular subscription, so that the boys and girls of Lincoln’s mountain home in the Southern Appalachian highlands might have the educational advantages denied to him as a boy. ‘This forgotten Lincoln request, which was made to Gen. O. O. Howard, at the White House in 1863, is yet to be carried out in a liberal way. according to the committee, although Gen. Howard himself laid the cornerstone of this school, Lincolm Memorial Univer- sity, 30 years ago at Cumberland Gap, where the three States of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia meet. “I know of no educational work in this country comparable in importance to that of Linc®ln Memorial Univer- $10,000,000 FUND ASKED | ~The Weather | sity,” announced John Hays Hammond, vice president of the university. “At | Cumberland Gap, in the heart of the Southern Appalachians, Lincoln Mem- orial University shines in a world of darkness. Its mission is nothing less than to lead a whole race out of bond- age; 6,000,000 of white men, women and children, the mountain folk of the South. It is a race of American stock: a race that traces its forbears to the days of the Jamestown colony. It is the race that coln to the world It is the race left Stranded on the _ rocky hillsides of the Appalachians in westward march of civilization.” “I hardly think that any American can afford to say that he is too busy to give time or thought to this one sim- ple request of Lincoln,” says Dr. John Wesley Hill, chancellor of the univer- sity and acting president “Certainly | not after he hears the story of the one mountain lad who, after walking 100 miles to enter the university, was told | he could not be taken in because there | was no room for him to sleep. ‘Wal, I didn’t come here to sleep,’ he said. ‘If need be, I reckon I can sleep out thar in the woods. I came here to git larn- in’. On the committee of invitation which is planning the Lincoln fund campaign is Dr. John Wesley Hill, John | Hays Hammond, Ferdinand W. La- frentz, chairman of the American Sur- ety Company: Gen. Frank T. Hines chief of the United States War Veter- | ans Bureau; Col. Wade H. Cooper, pres- ident of the.

Smither, who now oc- cupies the position of chief coordina- tor of the United States, was announced yesterday by the War Department. Gen. Smither’s retirement becomes ef- fective on January 1 next. He obtained permission from President Coolidge to retire from the service, with the inten- tion of entering private business. His successor has not yet been designated. Graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., in 1897, he was commissioned in the Cavalry. From then on Gen. Smither’s career was marked with brilliant oppor- tunities for accomplishment, such as occur to few individuals in the service of their nation. His forst active duty was in Cuba, where he served as aid de camp to the late Gen. Leonard Wood. With the entrance of this country into the World War, Gen. Smither, then a colonel, was sent to France for duty with the general staff of the A. E. F. general headquarters. Shortly after his arrival he was as- signed to organize and head the supply section of the service as assistant chief of staff. His section was charged with the solution of a supply problem, with- out parallel in history, coordinating the large and various activities throughout the extensive harbors, docks, store- houses, lt.ospitals, barracks and trans- 7 ———_ - ~ Our July Clearance Sale Offers Many Attractive Values a few are mentioned here Misses’ and Women's $15 § 8. 95 Summer Frocks DAINTY SUMMER SILKS AND SMART PLAIN AND PRINTED CREPE DE CHINES IN MISSES’ AND WOMEN’S SIZES. ‘70 to *15 Balibuntle Hats, $5 BALIBUNTLE.

Smither displayed genius which brought him high commendation and promotion. He was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Medals of the United States and the Republic of Panama and the Legion of Honor of the French Republic. During this perfod Gen. Smither came in close contact with Gen. Charles G. Dawes, the present Vice President. When called upon to organize and head the newly created Bureau of the Bud-j get, Gen. Dawes obtained the services of Gen. Smither for the expressed pur- pose of establishing coordination in Government activities The post of chief coordinator of the United States was created for Gen. Smither. Disposal of the vast accumulation of surplus war properties was one of the first important problems Gen. Smither facéd in his new post. He has super- vised the disvnosing of more than $4,- 000,000,000 worth of property and pro- duced a saving of approximately $150,- 000,000 through the utilization of sur- plus stocks to meet the needs of pur- chasing activities of the Government. EXPORTS GIVE NATION BIG TRADE BALANCE Total for lune $73. 000. 000 Over Imports; Outflow of Gold Continues. (Associated Press.) Foreign trade of the United States | during June gave the country a fav¥or- able trade balance for the month of $73,000,000 as a result of exports of $390,000,000 and imports of $317,000,000 The Commerce Department in report- ing the figures yesterday said the month's exports were approximately $36,000,000 greater than those of the same montn last year, but $31,000,000 less than those of May. Imports for June were markedly below the $354,- 892,000 of imports for June, 1927, and the May imports this year, which amounted to $354,715,000. The import decline was attributed to lessened buv- | ing by American consumers: of sugar. | Silk and rubber. A continua Jon of the steady outflow | of gold from the United States, which has been noted for more than eight months, was reported for June. The United States lost $79,931,000 in gold | during the month, exports being $99.- 932,000 and imports $20,001,000.

In the same six months of last year, the country gained gold to a total of $131,501,000. The actual June export of gold was larger than that of any other month recorded in the last four years. June silver exports amounted to $7,451,000 and imports were $6,206,000 In June, 1927, silver exports were $5,444,000 and imports $4,790,000.

Four awards for ocean mail service, the first to be made under the terms of the new merchant marine act, were announced yesterday by Postmaster General New. Three are for Latin- American services and one for the Med- iterranean, all to begin August 1. The export Steamship Corporation, awarded the contract for service be- tween New York and ports on the Medi- terranean and Black Sea, is expected to construct new and faster ships in order to carry out its conditions. The Munson Steamship Line was given the New York-to-Buenos Aires contract; the Grace Steamship Co., that for a New York-to-Valparaiso service, and the New York & Porto Rico Steam- ship Co., a contract for service between San Juan and Santo Domingo. FURIOUS CLOUDBURST RIPS UP BRICK PAVING Allegheny Storm Razes Crops and Houses; Train Is Derailed. Cumberland, Md., July 14 (A.P.).— All sections in this vicinity of western Maryland and far into the outlying territory today report damage from the heavy cloudburst of last night. Or- chards, farms and gardens suffered severely, many small buildings were wrecked, roads damaged and bridges carried away. The storm was of such fury that it tore up yards of heavy brick pavement on Franklin street and carried the bricks down onto the Bal- tiniore & Ohio tracks, making piles threé and four feet high. The Capitol Limited, crack passenger train to Chi- cago, which attains great speed by the time it reaches Franklin street, had passed only five minutes before the track was littered with piles of brick. The Cumberland Country Club prop- erty suffered severely. Bridges were washed away and the golf course was so damaged that a game scheduled for today was called off. fi: A Baltimore & Ohio express train was derailed at Broadford, just west of Connellsville, from running into a landslide. Two wheels of the loco- motive left the track. Both the east ahd, west-bound tracks were covered with earth. L. L. PERKINS 1 WILL BOND TOU U ‘States Fidelity 4 Gua one M, 013.

CORN QUOTATIONS FIRM UNDER ACTIVE DEMAND Rye Dull and Lower Despite Unfavorable Prospects. Oats Down. Increased offerings of new winter wheat, together with some increase in the estimated outturn and generally favorable weather for the spring crop both in the United States and Canada, weakened the wheat market during the week ending July 14, according to the Weekly Grain Market Review of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Sharp price declines in Winnipeg and Liverpool were also weakening factors, but the influence of these was somewhat offset by re- newed export inquiry for Canadian wheat from Russia and limited sales of new United States wheat for export to Europe. Rye was dull and lower de- spite unfavorable prospects for the new crop. Corn held firm under a con- tinued active demand for the rapidly diminishing supply. Oats declined sharply in the Southwest and were also lower in Northwestern markets, but old crop grain was still bringing unusually high premium at Chicago. Slow de- mand and prospects of another record barley crop weakened the market for that grain. Flax was unsettled with demand rather inactive. This crop promises to be smaller than last year. The spring wheat acreage in Canada has been increased about a million acres over the area harvested last sea- gon and totals 22,610,000 acres, accord- ing to a preliminary estimate. The crop has made excellent progress and the condition of all wheat at the first of July was reported at 102 per cent of the 10-year average yield. This con- dition would indicate an average yleid this season of 16.1 bushels per acre compared with an estimated yield of 15.3 bushels at the first of July last season and a final harvested outturn of 19.5 bushels as a result of favorable weather from July 1 to harvest. This produced a crop from which about 465,- 000,000 bushels have now been ac- counted for. German Crepe , Are Late. Wheat harvesting is progressing sat- isfactorily in southern Europe, but in Germany and the more northern coun- tries the crop is reported from ten days to two weeks late, which will prolong the period for which it will be neces- sary to import wheat. The Italian wheat crop is now placed at 214,000,000 bushels, compared with 196,000,000 bushels harvested last year and 221,- 000,000 produced in 1926. Complete import statistics are not yet available for the past season, but the imports for the crop year following the 1926 har- vest amounted to slightly less than 90,000,000 bushels. Many fields in France and England have a thin stand, but weather in the latter country has become more favorable. The export- able surplus of wheai in Argentina as of July 12 was officially placed at 37,- 650,000 bushels, compare’ with 52,110,- 000 bushels available for export on the corresponding date last year. Ship- ments during the remainder of last season, however, totaled only around $4,000,000 bushels, leaving some 18,- 000,000 bushels to be carried forward into the new crop year. A total winter wheat crop of 543,- 782,000 bushels was in prospect at the first of July, cr within about 9,500,000 bushels of the amount harvested last season. About three-fifths of this is hard winter wheat, anc it is estimated that the soft winter wheat crop will total only about 122300,000 bushels, compared with 181,000,000 bushels pro- duced last season. This is hardly suffi- cient for the estimated domestic re- quirements. There will be about 74,- 000,000 bushels of white wheat, accord- ing to the July i estimate While an increased acreage of winter wheat was sown last fall, acreage remaining for harvest is nearly 5 per cent less than the acreage harvested last season. About 5,500,000 acres, or nerly two- thirds of thei# sown acreage, was lost from winter killing in the four States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Ken- tucky. Decline in Central West. Notwithstanding the poor prospects for soft winter wheat the recent high premiums were further reduced as of- ferings of new crop grain increased. At St..Louis, new soft red winter wheat prices declined from $1.65 last week to $1.50 early in the current week, but, advanced to $1.56 toward the close of the week under an active demand from mills in Ohlo, Tennessee and Iilinols, No new wheat was offered at. Cincinnati but prices declined 13 cents, No. 2 red being quoted at the close of the week at $1.55 per bushel. No. 2 red winter was quoted at Chica- go nominally at $1.61. Heavy marketings of hard winter wheat brought about a decline of 1-3 cent in prices of that grain in the South west- ern mills, however, reported heavy sales of flour and were. generally -ac- tive buyers of new wheat, apparently fearing a lowering of the quality, of later shipments by recent rains. Re- ceipts of new winter wheat to date have been generally of heavy weight, but of only moderate protein content. The. average of protein tests of the Kansas: State laboratories was slightly over, 12 per cent. However, only 18 per cent of the samples tested over 12144 per cent, practically all of the high protein wheat coming from New Mexico and Texas. At the close of the week, 12 per cent protein, No. 2 hard winter was quoted’ at Kansas City at.5-7 cents over the September price of $1.25, 13 per cent protein was bringing 11-14 cents over the Septem- ber, No. 2 hard winter with about 12 per cent protein was quoted at Omahg at $1.33. Export bids were mostly below prices offered by mills. Exporters were reported to be bidding around $1.35-1.3644 basis. No. 1 hard winter delivered Texas Gulf ports, and some sales were reported for the last half. of July, shipment at 4% cents over the Chicago September price of $1.3275. Increase in eset cies States. Crop conditions at the first of July indicated a spring wheat crop, other than durum, about 60,000,000 bushels smaller than was harvested last season, | - The | ; remaining: for harvest is slight-|— or about 182,623,000 bushels. . ly larger than last season but the con- dition of the crop on July 1 was only 1.7 per cent. of normal compared with, ail per cent. a year ago. Since the ‘of July, however, weather has aoe favorable and the crop has o’ed aomewhat in northern South middlewestern Minnesota and “goutnern South Dakota, acording to ade reports.

New York, July 14.—Stocks were highly irregular today in the dullest market @f the year, Many traders were out of town seeking relief from the floor of the stock exchange were in a cautious frame of mind as a result of the obvious determination of the Fed- eral Reserve authorities to put the brakes on speculation for the time be- ing. The day’s turnover was approxi- mately 450,000 shares. At the close small losses outnumbered gains by a considerable margin. With the addition of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank to the 5 per cent discount rate level, it is fairly plain that the higher rate will be adopted by the other banks and that another week or so should see the operation completed, Perhaps all the banks were read’ to raise their rates at the same time, but to string the increases along, at least gives the appearance of inde- pendence of action. Only half a dozen stocks exhibited anything like marked strength today. These. included Atlantic Refining, which advanced 5 ‘points net in a comparatively large turnover; Indian Refining common and preferred, up 1% and 16% #£«~»points;, respectively; Richfield up nearly a point; Du Pont, 5; U. S. Leather common and A, with gains of 2% and 1%, respectively; International Cement, 1%; Kroger, 14%; Stewart Warner, 1%; Allis Chal- mers, 14%, and Cudahy Packing, 1%. Most of the recent leaders. lost ground, Montgomery Ward went back 2% net; General Electric, 1%; General Motors, 14%; International Telephone, 2; Allied Chemical, 1; Davison Chemi- cal, 154; Case Threshing, 4 and Radio 1. Shares of the Northwestern carriers were under pressure, but other rails held comparatively steady. American Telephone A responded moderately to the highly favorable disclosures in the report of the first half-year operations. Unted States Stéel was strong in the first hour, advancing a full point, but leter droped this and a fraction more. The early movement probably was in response to advices from Yougstown that operations for the industry as a whole were likely to remain at a rate _of 70 to 75 per cent through the sum- mer months. Steel has shown a great deal of resistance on recent breaks and has been of of the first stocks to rally. | §trength in United States Leather | stocks probably was based on the out- look for the establishment of a $4 divi- | dend in August for the A stock and the prospects that the earnings report for | pro first six months will show a balance | for the common stock around $4.60 a | share. gi, | | The short covering movement which ).

The corn market turned firmer again during the week, influenced by a con- tinued active inquiry for the rapidly diminishing supply. The acreage in ‘ncreased about 3.6 per cent, or about 3,500,000 acres. The | condition, however, at the first of July | was only 78.1 per cent of normal, which would indicate a yield of 26.7 bushels | per acre and. forecast a crop of about | 2,736,000,000 bushels, or about 50,000,- ? | 000 bushels less than was harvested. last } Season. The condition at the first of July, however, was better than July 1 /@ year ago, but very favorable weather during the remainder of the season brought a much larger crop to mature- ity than seemed probable at the first of July. Nearly all of the increase in acreage has taken place in the group of States extending from Ohio and Kentucky west to Kansas, where a heavy loss of winter wheat left an un- usually large acreage to be planted to corn and small grains. The best con- ditions prevailed in the North Central and Western States, with the exception of Michigan, North Dakota and Mon- tana, while the less favorable conditions prevailed in the South Central States. Market stocks of corn have now been reduced to around 15,000,000 bushels, or about 20,000,000 bushels less than a year ago. Industries and feeders con- tinued to be active buyers and cash corn is holding well above a dollar per bushel in the principal markets, No. 3 yellow being quoted at the close of the week at Chicago at $1.074%4, Minne- apolis $1.03, and Kansas City $1.02- $1.03; and No. 2 yellow at Omaha at $1.02 and at St. Louls $1.0912-$1.10'4. Oats Crop Is Larger. An oats crop about, 135,000,000 bushels larger than last year’s harvest was in prospect at the first of July, al- though the acreage was reported about the same as last season. There was a substantial increase in acreage in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ken- tucky. In the Southern States, how- ever, the acreage of winter oats has been sharply reduced by extensive win- ter killing. Prices at most markets were tending toward a new crop basis although un- usually large premiums were still, being paid for old crop grain at Chicago. Oats at Kansas City were selling at the close of the Week nearly 10 cents lower than a week ago with the weakest demand prevailing for new crop red oats. No. 3 white oats were quoted in the ‘narket at 50@52, while No.*2 red oats were being quoted at 48@49 f. o. b. cars at Texas shipping points. Prices were also reduced 3@5 cents per bushel at Duluth and Minnq@apoHs. At the former market No. 3 white oats were quoted on track at 53@59, while. at the latter market No. 3 white oats were quoted at 56@62, At Chicago, heavy No. 2 white oats were bringing as much as 24 cents over the July price and were quoted at 6914 @7444._ per bushel. No. 3 white oats were quoted at 58@70._ . Another record barley crop. nearly 40,000,000 bushels larger than last sea- son was in prospect at the first of July. Acreage has been increased nearly 9,- 500,000 acres, or 29.5 per cent over the area harvested last Season. The most marked increase occurred in the North Central States.. The condition at the first of July was reported at 81.3 per cent of normal, which would. indicate a yield of 24.8 bushels per acre and a total crop of about 303,000,000 bushels. ‘The prospects 6f a large crop, ‘together ened the market, particularly for feed- ing barley, and prices declined.

S. Smelting Co. The properties controlled Dy the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Co. and its subsidiaries repre- sent a wide diversification both in out- put and location of properties. The main products are copper, lead, zinc and silver, although coal and iron also are mined and gold dredging develop- ment is being carried on in Alaska. The properties of this company are in the South and West of the United States and in Mexico and Alaska. A lead refinery, a lead smelter and A lead and zine concentrating mill arc operated. This variety of interests tends toward stability of earnings, for a mining enterprise, and of large future importance may be the Alaska prop- erties. Net income in 1927 was $3,031,000, vyhich about equalled that of 1926, the decline in the metal markets during the past two years being partially off- set by lower costs and increased out- put.

WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, JULY 15. 7 BAFFLED BY GRAY, NATIONALS BOW TO BROWNS, 4-2 1928. Olympic Berth For Elkins Looms Committee May Drop Churchill in Favor of Nebraskan. Star, Recovered From Injury, Held Hope of U. S. Team. By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor). S. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, en route to Amsterdam, July 14 * (A.P.).—The possibility that Pait Elkins, former Unversity of Nebraska all-around star, might yet be included on the American Olympic track and field team as one of the four athletes in the decath’o9n competition at Am- sterdam, loomed tonight as a result of the latest exchange of radiograms be- tween the Olympic committee and the New York A. C. Advices to the effect that Elkins had completely recovered from the leg tn- jury that eliminated him from the fina! Olympic decathlon tryouts at Phila- delphia prompted the committee to radio to the New York A. C. a requect that the “chief” make a test of his fitness in several of the decathion events, and thdt a report of how he fares be sent to the Olympic committee On the information contained in this report the committee probably will de- termine whether Elkins will be included in the final entries which are to be filed with Amsterdam authorities by July 19. The inclusion of Elkins would mean the dropping of Tom Churchill, of the University of Oklahoma, who finished fourth in the final tryouts. _——-— Strong opposition to this course has developed among some of the committeemen, but the majority apparently feel that Elkins, if in condition, is the only American with a chance of defeating the famous Finn, YrJola. It also is pointed out that the decathlon team will be no worse off even if Elkins fails since the inexperienced Oklahoman is extremely unlikely to place. Ross Nichols, the Stanford hurdler, who is making the trip as a guest, and Frank Hussey, the sprinter. who was @ stowaway, are doing more work aboard ship than any of the other members of the squad. There’s little chance, however, that either will see Olympic action unless accidents to other stars force their inclusion. G. W. Wightman. of Boston, who resigned as a member of the Olympic committee after Charley Paddock had been *cleared of charges of profes- sionalism, wirelessed officials today that motion pictures of the final try- outs settled the dispute involving Nichols’ fall over the last hurdle in the finals at Cambridge. The films, Wightman said, show that Nichols tipped over the barrier which he later claimeq had been misplaced. The athletes, some of whom are running risks in their enthusiastic workouts on board the Olympic ship, will take the day off tomorrow. Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chairman of the Olympic commit- tee, praised the excellent condition of the team and predicted the athletes’ peak of form would be CONTINUED ON PAGE 22 COLUMN 2.

The statement that the New York Boxing Commission was controlled by “thugs and politicians” attributed to Gene Tunney by one of the metropolitan newspapers so af- fected the champion today that he was unable to display his best form in the training ring. Gene was so excited about the truth- less report that he neglected his road work and was unwilling to put on the gloves with Harold Mays and Billy Vidabeck, his sparring partners. A brief shower fell here during the afternoon and during the downpour, Tunney said to several members of his camp, “I hope the rain continues, I don’t feel like working today.” The rain ceased a few minutes before it was time for Gene to enter the ring, which he did much against his will. He punched the bags for four rounds and shen sparred half-hearterly with Mays. , who is training for with Tom Heeney on July 26, was far off form. Mays tore after him the first round, landing several hard left and right hooks to the champion’s head and during the rest The champion his title bout of the practice bout Tunney took many } a body punch which he should have blocked or sidestepped. Tunney looked better against Vida- beck, but the latter has great trouble evoiding a right-hand punch and the champion had no great dificulty land- ing this blow to all parts of his body. yene’s footwork was much slower in both bouts though he apeared in ex- cellent physical shape. Several hun- dred spectators paid 50 cents each to watch the workout, the proceeds going to charity. The champion emerged from his secluded sleeping quarters in good spirits early in the day but his cheerfulness left him when he was informed of the alleged attack on the boxing commission. He is of a peculiar. disposition and is easily affected by such Incidents. After reading the newspaper which fea- tured the misquotation, Tunney Is- sued the following: “I emphatically deny the statement to me regarding the New Boxing Commission being con- trolled and influenced by = so-called ‘thugs.’ “It was a cowardly thing and most unfair to both the boxing commission and myself. It puts me in a particu- larly embarrassing position with Com- missioner William A. Muldoon, whom I respect more than any man I have ever known, and for whom my affec- tion and admiration is genuine.” After issuing the statement, Tunney called attention to the fact that he had not boxed in New York State since 1925 and therefore could have no. first hand knowledge of boxing conditions in the Empire State. Tunney has not yet decided how he will travel to New York on the day of the championship bout. He decided not, to engage a hydroairplane for the 230-mile trip after being told that most seaplanes were much slower than land planes. Commander Richard Byrd, it has been said, will come here to pay the champion a visit and if he ar- rives by plane, Tunney may fly with him back to New York on the day of the fight. Tex Rickard, promoter of the com- ing bout, arrived tonight with a party of 52, which included one railroad president and several prominent bank heads. Rickard made the trip, his first to Tunny’s secluded haven, to witness the champion’s signature to the New York boxing commission’s contract for the titular bout. The champion had finished training when the party arrived but he has agreed to break his rule of no work on the Sabbath tomorrow to entertain the party. Giants Beat Reds, 4-2, As Benton Wins 15th Cincinnati, July 14 (A.P.).—The Giants regained second place by de- feating the Reds, 4 to 2, here today in the first game of the series. Larry Benton registered his fifteenth victory of the season while the home boys had to be content with stretching their double play total to 107. The Reds jumped on Benton for two runs in the first on Callaghan’s scratch triple, Critz’s infield single, a pass and two sacrifice flies, but the sorrel top held them to three hits over the rest of the route and permitted only four men to reach base. The Giants tied the score with two runs off Eppa Rixey in the third, one of them unearned, and went one ahead in the fourth on Lindstrom’s double and two sacrifice flies. Cincinnati.

J., July 14 (A.P.)-— With automobile headlights flood- ing the scene, Tom Heeney went back to his training grind tonight, after loafing for 24 hours. The challenger for the world’s heavyweight champion- ship boxed in his outdoor ring, under the glare of five 1,000-watt lights, and in the presence of residents from near- by communities. Heeney skipped the rope, shadow boxed and punched the bag in the in- terior of his old barn, where the spec- tators began to gather soon after dusk. After the New Zealander finished with big bag punching, he elbowed his way through the crowd, to his outdoor ring. Several changes will be made in the staff of sparring partners starting to- morrow. Osk Till, a middleweight, who once trained with Gene Tunney, will join the crew. es Charley Harvey, Heeney’s Ameri- can manager, also plans to bring a fast lightweight into camp to speed up “Honest Tom” in the re- maining few days of training, Jay Lawless, Newark light heavyweight, also will rejoin the sparring staff. Rosy Boutot and Jack departed Cees. Dessimoz The first expression from one of Hee- ney’s board of strategy concerning the New Zealander’s chances against Tun- ney in their championship battle July 26 came from Harvey tonight on his arrival in camp after an absence of sev- eral days. If the battle goes past the tenth round, Harvey says, Heeney stands an exceilent chance of knocking Tun- ney out. “Tunney has only had two fights tn three years and both against the same man and over a ten-round route,” Har- vey sala. “All of Tom’s fights in the last five years, except those tn this country have been over the fifteen and | twenty route distance. know that the route and keep up his speed and strength, but there is some doubt concerning what Tunney can do after stepping through ten rounds at a fast clip. He hasn't fought longer than that in three years “We Heeney can go attempt greatest Harvey did Heeney as not to present the heavyweight challenger that ever lived. but de- Scribed him as a real tough fighter, capable of absorbing everything Tun- ney has in the way of punches and able +o set a tiring pace for the cham- pion. Ralph Smith, of Los Angeles, Calif. took a bad beating in the first two rounds of the challenger’s boxing pro- gram tonight. Heeney slugged the huge Westerner just about as he pleased end floored him with a left to the body and a right to the head. Smith, who stands 6 feet 5'4 inches high and scales 250 pounds, hit the floor with a dull thud, but was able to regain his feet in short order. Heeney then called Paul Swidelski, Syracuse light heavy- weight, into the ring. Two rounds of Sparring with the latter completed the challenger’s boxing for the evening.

HE Washington Canoe Club carried off the major honors in the annual regatta of the Middle States Canoe Racing Association yesterday as its watermen paddled to victory over the Yonkers Canoe Club, of New York, in the first local regatta on the placid waters of the Potomac River. A large crowd lined the porches and floats of the boat clubs from the Three Sisters to the Key Bridge and witnessed some and excellent canoe Paddlers from the Washington Canoe Club won the greater number of points because they presented a number of well-balanced teams, but the glory of the day’s racing went to the youthful cenoeists of the Yonkers Canoe Club, who covered themselves with glory as they skimmed over the water to carry off tive first prizes and three seconds for a nine-man team.

The Mary- land Swimming Club and the Wash- ington Canoe Club struggled down the course to tie. de Far behind at one stage of the , race, the Baltimore team showed ‘splendid grit as they fought inch by inch to overtake the flying Washington paddlers. Down to the finish line came the rival boats so close together that the judges announced a dead heat.

N Hagen, British open pion. will play a match July 24 and Compston, the giant British profes- sional champion who gave “The Haig” the worst drubbing he ever has experi- enced in a match in England last spring. The first 36 holes will be played at the-Sandy Burr Country Club at Way- land, Mass., while the second half will be staged the next day on the West- chester-Biltmore Links at Rye, N. Y. Although the financial arrangements were not made known today, the profes- sional stars probably will play for a purse exceeding $5,000, Badly in need of practice and way off form, Hagen took an 18-and-17-to-play whipping from the blonde Englishman at Moor Park just prior to the British open title play, but came back to win the open tournament with a score of 292 strokes for the 72 holes. Compston was the first golfer in ere- cent years to whip Hagen, considered the king of match players, in a 72- hole test. In Florida two years ago the Haig trimmed Bobby Jones, 12 and 11. Gene Sarazen alone of all the profes- sionals, has beaten him twice over the long route in the past five years. —Walter golf cham- return 72-hole 25 with Archie Martin, French Star, Breaks World’s 800-Meter Record ARIS, July 14 (A.P.).—Running 800 meters a full second faster than the official world’s record for the distance, Seraphin Martin, French middle distance ace. gave his country’s Olympic stock a big boost at the Colombes Stadium today. Finishing alone 30 yard. ahead 2 the second man, Martin was forced to make his own pace for the last 400 meters, yet was clocked in the hitherto unbelievable time of one minute 503-5 seconds. The world’s record now on the books is 1:513-5, set by Dr. Otto Peltzer, of Germany, in 1926. The record-shattering performance came as a great surprise as Martin fin- ished in second place in his qualifying heat a few hours before in the slow time of 1:59. The weather was ex- tremely hvt ani the 1924 Olympic Stadium track lightning fast. Laroche, a fast 400-meter run- ner, started off with Martin in the final heat as if competing at his usual distance and was clocked as close to 51 seconds for the first half of the run with Martin a yard behind and running easily. Laroche here practically collapsed while Martin went on alone, sprinting ‘the entire remaining distance. '. Martin lost perhaps a chance to bring the record down to 1:50 flat when Ted Meredith's 1:51 9-10 which has stood since the: he turned in the stretch to see how far behind the remainder of the field was running. Some idea of the lead Martin had may be gathered from the second man’s time, Theo Keller fin- ishing in 1:55 4-5. No other occurred on the first day of the French championships but Jules Ladoumergue, another French star, announced he would try for the 1,500-meter record to- morrow, the closing day. Martin’s great run not only knocked a second off the official standard for 800 meters, but also bettered by four-fifths of a second the record-breaking time of Lloyd Hahn, American star, in winning the 800-meter event at the final Olympic trials for the United States team at Cambridge, July 7. It is the latest and most sensational in a remarkable series of performances beginning with Dr. Peltzer’s 1:51 3-5 in England in 1926 which obliterated famous mark of Olympic games of: 1912 and continuing with the achievements of Hahn and Martin, each faster than the one before These three—the world’s record holder and two who have beaten his mark— are to represent their countries in this event of the Olympic games. . ; ee ee noteworthy performance | Indians Send Miljus Back; Bucs Protest | 14 (A.P.)

The Cleveland Club is said to have carried the case to Commissioner K. M. Landis. Pittsburgh Club __icofficials contend Cleveland can not withdraw from the deal. Baseball followers here believe the Cleveland reversal came when the In- dians’ owners found that instead of the waiver price, they must pay the Pirates the sum paid for Miljus to the Seattle team—$17,500.

ITCHER SAMMY GRAY was as tight in the pinches as a new shoe yesterday and this explains why the Nationals, although outhitting the Brownies, were forced tu accept a ver- dict of 4 to 2 against them. The former Philadelphia pitcher simply breezed along except at such moments when Sam West was at the p.ate, but West, although he was credited with a single and three doubles, could not win the frame alone. Lloyd Brown, on the other practicaly lost the game for because of his generosity with passes.

S. Michell brought him here from Chicag.e some ten days back with Anita Peabody winner of the last Belmont Park Futurity, and eight or ten other horses of the stable of John Hertz, of Ghicago. He is grace- fully taking his gallops gallops that are intended to fit him for his meeting in the Travers Midsummer Derby with Genle, Victorian, Caesarion, Sun Ed- win, Ironsides, Petes Wrack, Nassak, Mowlee, Sun Meddler, Sortie, Diavolo, Sunfire and other Eastern-owned as- pirants that may get to the post, also, for another tussle with the Western- owned Misstep, which he defeated in the derby. If the infection that followed sundry kicks administered by his stable com- panion, Anita, in early spring training have in any degree vieakened him he shows no sign. He is eating voraciously and revealing plenty of pep Mr. Hertz, who dropped off at Sara- toga a week back on his way to New York from Chicago to look Mitchell’s charges over, is delighted with his condition and the condition of Anita Peabody. “If Reigh Count continues to go well,” Hertz said on his arrival in New York, “patrons of Saratoga racing, who saw him win his first races last season, are going to see the best colt Western racing developed and, we think, the smartest in the country. That, however, is merely our opinion and hope. [ea SPRINGS, N.

However, 1 hear that Victorian may get to the post. Genie seems to be a smart colt, and he will have to be to lick Reigh Count.” Nothing brisk has been asked of Reigh Count so far Michell is bring- ing the son of Sun Reigh and Contes- sina to a con‘ition that will enable him to do some fancy stepping in the first week of August, though. He will hardly run in any handicaps for horses 3 years old and over ahead of the ers, but may try his luck in the Miller, a gallop of one mile and three-six- | “The gallop of will tell teenths for colts and fillies of his own | # age.

W. Parrish, of Midway, Ky., who raced the Ballot horse Midway here eight and ten years back and with a fair measure of success, Rolled Stocking is in the Saratoga Merchants and Citizens han- dicaps, the Whitney Inaugural and the Saratoga Cup and Mr. Parrish warns that he had best not be underrated. Rolled Stocking was not conspicu- ously successful in the racing of a year ago last spring “nd summer on the Kentucky tracks, but he astonished the country in October by showing his heels to Woolridge, Brown Bud, Royal Julien and Whiskery in the ninth Latonia championship, a $40,000 gallop of one mile and three-quarters for 3- year-olds that had been practically conceded to the East. Brown Bud was favorite at 9 to 10, Whiskery second choice at 17 to 10. Rolled Stocking was an 11% to 1 chance and he didn't let either of the Eastern-owned pretenders get close. He laughed in front all the way. And this was just after Brown Bud, the Miller and Travers winner here last August, had just beaten Whiskery, the Kentucky Derby and Huron and Twin City handicap victor, in a revival of the $30,000 Washington handicap at Laurel. Neither Frederick Johnson nor James Rowe has ever been able to understand how that happened. Not improbably Whiskery and Brown Bud will meet this doughty Kentuckian several times next month, The three colts have four or five engagements in common and Whiskery and Brown Bud have been held for Saratoga racing. It is Mr. Johnson’s ambition to win a Saratoga Cup with Brown Bud and, then take that son of Brown Prince to Belmont Park for another Jockey Club Gold Cup. Brown Bud won last September's Jockey Culb Gold Cup, a weight for age gallop of two miles, but lost the purse and the trophy to Chance Play through disqualification. The Saratoga Cup is a weight for age gallop of one mile and three quarters Whiskery, which has been going | ® soundly all spring and summer, is here to make every race he can. James Rowe is confident the Whisk Broom colt will come back as good as he was last spring and summer. He was sour and sore going into winter quarters last November, as was to have been ex- pected, considering what he had been through, and Rowe decided in early spring to wee him plenty of time for recovery in every direction.

Ingram, director of athletics. Commander Ingram let it be known that he will serve in the capacity of head football coach and general di- rector of the great autumn sport and that his younger brother, William “Navy Bill” Ingram, will be head field coach. Three members of last year’s varsity team, who still are undergradu- ates, but are ineligible for further com- petition under the academy’s eligibility code, will be among the assistant coaches. Assisting the Ingrams with the var- sity squad will be Lieut. John Beckett, U. 8. Marine Corps; E. A. “Rip” Miller, former Notre Dame star, and John N., Wilson, former St. Johns luminary. The two former will handle the linemen and Wilson will assist Bill Ingram with the back field material. One of the greatest problems confronting the coaches will be the development of a good pair of tackles. 4—Merano, Big Sondy. 5—Misstep., Martie Flynn, Blackwood. 6—Shasta Negra. Vellas.

With fifteen or more Washington- owned racing canines, the entry will be augmented with racing whippets from the kennels of Felix Agnus Lesser, of Baltimore, well-known fancier and judge. Mrs. James C. Hadley, of Erie, Pa., owner of the famous Titiana Ken- nels, has also promised to bring down a string of dogs for the races and show. The event will be sanctioned by the American Kennel Club of New York, which will certify suitable judges for the various classes The Washington Whippet Club has selected their own judge to pass on the whippet breed in the person of E. Emory Stone, of Baltimore, Md. who is a recognized authority on the breed and one of the best judges of races in the country. R. Schroeder, of Bethesda, Md., who is in charge of the whippet end of the exhibit, promises to give Washing- ton one of the best exhibits of the racing dogs ever seen in this section Manley Will Direct Cumberland Races Best -bam he tlon Gnome II.

‘THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. ee ee — ee ee — JULY 15. 1928. 19) LOUGHRAN RISKS TITLE AGAINST LATZO TOMORROW | ‘4th Title Title Bout| -ForChampin 8 Months i ‘Latzo, Near Crown 5 Weeks Ago, Faces Second Chance. 10-Round Contest to Be Held in Min- ing Country. Special to The Washington Post. EW YORK, July Loughran world’s light-heavy- weight champion, will risk his _ title for the fourth time since last Octo- ber when he meets Pete Latzo. husky graduate of the coal mines, who has risen from the welterweight champion- ship to a position as one of the most formidable contenders for Loughran’s crown, in a ten-round struggle, at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Monday. This will be Latzo’s second attempt within five weeks to relieve Loughran of the class crown. They met at Eb- bett’s Field last month and the Scran- ton boy astounded pugilistic followers with the fine showing he put up Loughran was a top-heavy favorite to win, but was to emerge with the de- cision after fifteen rounds. 14.—Tomm) Latzo waged a strong and willing contest, carrying the fight to Loughran, #pparently heediless of the lightning lefts of the champion, The contender reached his rival often with short body punches, and only Loughran’s superior clev- erness in the fast five rounds brought him the verdict. Both fighters trained intensively for the fray. Loughran has been working hard trying to perfect what he is sure is a knockout punch. The light-heavy- weight king declares he is not altogether pleased with his reputation as a boxer minus a devastating punch, and is anxious to show the boxing world some- thing different in the form of his new right-hand uppercut. Latzo pursued the same training plan that he has followed in all his previous bouts, roughing it with his sparring ,.partners, and seeking stamina rather than speed. Bissonette’s Bat Lets Robins Defeat Cards St. Louis, July 14 (A.P.).—After a considerable period of comparative s- lence, the big bat of Del Bissonette broke forth with a roar this afternoon to hammer Grover Cleveland Alexan- der into submission, and with him the Cardinals. Bissonette’s eighteenth home run, with one on in the seventh, and his ninth-inning triple were the bar- rage under which the Robins marched to a 5-to-2 victory in the first game of their series against the leagut lead- ers. oes Care endrick. 3b Herman,rf.

Crowder, incidentally, has not start- ( against the Nationals this season. In St. Louis on May 4 he retired the side in order when called on in a ninth-inning relief role, while the nex! day he again attempted to pull an “T'll save yuh” act, but, after fanning one, granted a single to Sam Rice and then filled the bases by walking both Jude al. Barnes. in to relieve Crowder, and two of the men the latter put on the sacks scored. In both cases the St. Louis defeats were | charged to another pitcher. While with Washington Crowder frequently did not have his stuff, while on numerous other occasions he was constantly in trouble .e- cause of his wildness, He appar- -ently has overcome his 1927 handi- caps, however, and has been pitch- ing brilllantly th's season, And, it might also be added, that Mana- ger Howley is not picking any soft spots for “the General.” “Sad Sam” Jones likely will be/ given the task of stopping former St. Louis mates in this aft- ernoon’s second game of the current series. Manager Howley turned the veteran loose on waivers last season. this action showing that he though Jones was “through.” Sam, wants to show the Mound City pil! just how wrong he was.

Chicago Hails Von Porat As Heavyweight Contender BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY (Associated Press Sports Writer). HICAGO, July 14 (A.P.).—There is enthusiasm in Chicago over the punching powers of Otto Von Porat, the big Norwegian heavyweight, with a devastating wallop. On the strength of Von Porat’s sen- sational, quick knockout victories with- in the last year, the boys peering into the future profess to see him as one of the outstanding contenders for premier honors in the heavyweight ranks, They rate him as a punching fool, coming up, the most terrific hitter of any heavy- weight aspirant of the present time. No lesser authority than Eddie Purdy, the noted referee, regards Von Porat as the hardest hitting heavyweight today. Purdy knows what he is talking about because of nis twenty years in the ring, first as a boxer, and in later years as a ring official, both here and New York, Purdy says that Von Porat is a harder straight puncher than Dempsey. There is no denying that Ottv can lay them kicking on the can- vas, if he connects with either hand, But against a cagey, shifty boxer Von Porat has sometimes had difficul dw in landing one of his sleep-pr wetng: smashes, Perhaps his inability to trap a clever opponent is due to his inexperience, for he has only beem boxing profes- Sionally for two years, Since the first of the year in seven battles, Von Porat has only been forced to go the ten round limit once and that was against Napoleon Jack Dorval, who escaped a knockout punch but left the ring with lumps as big as hen’s eggs under both eyes. Pais other six oppon- ents have been knocked out ee Wise The fact probably has esca attention of the boxing world that Von Porat started his ring career as heavy- weight champion of the Olympic games of 1924, He competed for Norway Previous to the Olympics he had boxed as an Boearin in his native land. only had fifteen or sixteen professionai contests and seems to be improving each time he starts, becoming less timid and hitting savagely and accurately. The vicious Viking does not look like a fist fighter. He has more the scholarty appearance of a Nor- wegian aristocrat than of a boxer. He is tall and stately, well put to- gether, and actually has the facia! characteristics of a student. He came of an excellent family in Norway. In boyhood he was a warm personal friend of Charley Hoff, the famous Norwegian pole vaulter. Von Porat is still young, having just passed his 24th birthday, and his best fighting weight is around 185 pounds. Wisconsin, one of the pioneer States in the West in no-decision boxing, 1s considering amending its laws to per- mit referees’ verdicts, or decisions by judges and the referee. The Badger States feels the need of doing this, be- cause it is surrounded by Michigan. Minnesota and Ilinois, States where verdicts are rendered by ring olficials. The members of the Wisconsin com- mission are concerned mainly with in- jecting life into the sport, pepping up the atmosphere in general. and believes the public can be better served through the medium of judges’ verdiets. Rocky Kansas, grizzled warrior of the lightweight ranks who lost the world’s title to Sammy Mandell just two years ago, is living the life of Riley in Buf- alo, N, Y., his home town, with no financial worries to trouble him. Kansas clung to $200,000 of his ring earnings, invested it in bonds and real estate, and is now able to sit back and collect interest and clip coupons, Kansas’ kid brother, Tony, just 19 years old, is blossoming out as a prom- ising welterweight, but the name of Kansas will disappear f-om ring fame, because Tony has elected to use the family name of Tozzo, rather than the nom de ring of his famous brother. A third brother, Joe, battled under the name of Kansas, as a lightweight bee fore the days of may. 8 fame, 1926 leaders at the | him | atmus- | performing with | Earl Lincoln, Nebr., July 14 (AP.)

ETHLEHEM, .Pa., .July .14.-——-The second local athlete to this city in the Olympic games sailed this week as a member of the American wrestling team He was James Reed, former Lehigh University wrestling ace and intercollegiate cham- pion, who went along as one of the 125-pounders. While in all other classes the second choice man was included as alternate it is understood that Reed and Hewitt survivor of the final in Grand Rapids Mich., will wrestle it oul on the boat e1 route, to decide which ot the two is to represent the American team in this division. ° This arrangement was deter- mined by the wrestling committee after Keed lost a very close deci- sion to Lupton, national intercol- legiate champion, who emerged from the bout with a cracked rib. In spite of this handicap, Lupton met Hewitt and tost a very close decision, The tnjury., however, eliminated Lupton from consider- ation.

That an effort will be made to line up the Pirates next spring, shculd they shift their camp to Florida, is deducted by a process of elimination, for Presi- dent Griffith declares that he has started no negotiations with them, al- though he admitted that such an ar- rangement probably would be a good one and is being considered as a pos- sibility by him. With the-Giants out of consideration, the Chicago Cubs, training at Catalina Island, Calif., and other American League teams ineligible by a league ruling, this only leaves six teams—the Cardinals, Reds, Dodgers, Braves, Phillies and Pirates—available as pos- sible traveling companions for the Nats The St. Louis and Cincinnati teams probably would not want to come so far out of their way on their return home from the South, while the Bos- ton and Philadelphia teams always hustle home for a preseason series with the American League team of their cities. And, as the Dodgers annually meet up in a series with the Yankees each spring, this leaves the Pirates the only ones unaccounted for. 1929 spring Manager Bush, no doubt, would welcome a tour with the Harrismen just as much as would President Griffith, and, if it ts arranged, it probably would be a money-maker, for the simple reason that the Pittsburgh Team has not been seen in years in Southern territory. Then again, a Pirate-National meeting would be more attractive to the fans en route, who probably are tired of having seen the Giants and Washington each spring. While it is a little early to be talking of spring plans for 1929, President Grif- fith is giving them a thought during idle moments. One change which will not add to the joy of the players is that the Harrismen will play Sunday games ni Tampa next year. This year, the Tampa entry in the Southeastern League decided to take a chance and booked Sabbath contests and they were not interfered with, which means that the Nationals may do the same thing next spring.

EW YORK, July 14 (A.P.).—Two members of the New York A, C.’s “Olympic team” sailed for Eu- rope aboard the Volendam today, but Matt McGrath, htmmer-throwing vete eran of four Olymplads, declined to miake the trip. McGrath, who failed of selection in the final tryouts at Harvard Stadium, said he had no desire to make the trip to Amsterdam unless he wis certain 3f getting into the international games. Roland Locke, tormer University of Nebraska sprinter, and Weems Baskin, the great hurdler who first rose to fame at Alabama Poly. preferred to take their chance, however, and packed their luggage aboard the Volendam and said good-by to the United States for two months or so. Protesting against the method of selecting the Olympic track and field squad, the New York A. C, an- nounced several days ago that it would sponsor a trip abroad for Locke, Baskin, McGrath, Falt El- kins, the uecathion star, and Nor- ton dackson, wrestler, and would seek to force their inclusion on the Olympic team. McGrath, in turning down the invi- tation, said he still believed he was entitled to a place on the squad. For twenty years, he asserted, performances made in preliminary Olympic tryouts had been considered before final selec- tions were made, Had this rule been followed this year, he said, he would have earned a berth by his showing in the Eastern tryouts, despite the fact that he failed to land among the first four in the finals at Harvard.

Washington Pair Is Forced to Pass Up Boston Matches. By CHARLES A. WATSON, ATTLING over a slow clay court, Thomas J. Mangan, jr., veteran District tennis ace, and Bob Con- Bidine, youthful public parks court tar, were crowned champions yesterday On the courts of the Columbia Country Club as they won the deciding set in the finals of the Middle Atlantic Sec- tional doubles tennis championship in @ dramatic finish from the favorites C. Alphonso Smith, jr.. of Charlottesville, Va.. and Eddie Jacobs, the’ Baltimore flash, national junior doubles cham- pions, 6—4. Continuing the match postponed Thursday on account of darkness with the sets 2-all, the re- cently formed combination of Mangan and Considine fought every inch of the way to win the final set. Smith and Jacobs met defeat after making a desperate fight, bowing to the superior generalship and deep court volleys of the Washington net- men To Mangan goes a large share of the glory of the victory. Besides his place- ments at critical periods of the game which earned his team advantageous points, he held his own in the driving exchanges from deep court. which was After losing the first two games, Mangan and Considine recovered themselves from a “pat ball” game and tightened up to win the next three games and go into the lead. Time and again Smith and Jacobs held the lead in points only to re- linquish it when both opponents would shoot across telling place- ments that went for important points, The national junior champions were off a bit from their usual good play, especially Smith, making no less than 16 errors during the set. In the final set they went to pieces and Mangan and Considine broke through Jacobs service to sweep them off their feat by a@ love game. Mangan and Considine vice in the first game and Mangan took the back court. They played cautiously and were defeated in a long qduece game In the second game, Mangan and Considine centered their attack at Smith who was making er- rors repeatedly, but failed to do much, as they appeared to be patting the ball. Jacobs scored some beautiful shots and his team won the second game. spasmodic A wind apparently was hindering the players, as many lobs went to the outside backcourt. The Washington players had steadied their game and won the next game through brilliant lob- bing to make the score 2 to 1 won the ser- Short lobs scored “Jacobs as the fourth With the score 40 love Jacobs favor, Mangan shot placements across the net that made a duece game and finally scored again to make games 2-all when Smith netted two str shots.

The score now stood 3 to 2 in Mangan and Considine’s favor.

HARDING, ranking tennis star of the Edgemoor Club, has been named chairman of the cors- mittee which will conduct the annual District of Columbia singles and doubles tennis champoinships on the courts of the Edgemoor Club, beginning August 4. Other members of the general com- mittee include Ezra Gould, entertain- ment; A. O. White, invitations; Joe Rutley, entries; Harrison R. Hathaway, Walter K. Bachrack, A S Gore, M.

It is expected that at least 175 net- men will participate in the event, which has received the sanction of the Middle Atlantic Lawn Tennis Associa- tion and gives promise of being the best in the history of the local tourna- ment, due to the increased interest in the clay court game. Sultable prizes will be awarded In each event to the winners and the runners-up, with the challenge trophy being purchased from the funds presented’ to the District players by the old Dumbarton Club, which has gone out of existence. When the Dumbarton Club was forced to vacate its courts in George- town, the funds then on hand, amount- ing to $300, were turned over to the District tennis committee to purchase three challenge trophies, one for the men’s singles, one for the junior matches and one for the boys’ cham- pionship.

The Yonkers Canoe Club is a very high-sounding name, indicative of rows upon rows of highly-polished canoes with floats in wide expanse ajutting a choice spot on some river front, which has managed to withstand the en- croachments of the realty dealers at heavy costs to the enthusiasts who maintain the sporting establishment. Contrast it with a canoe club on wheels. The Yonkers Canoe Club, in fact, consists of three canoes mounted upon a dilapidated Ford truck and manned by nine young men who haven’t got very much money and who turn wood- choppers when the wherewithal to en- ter a regatta is lacking which is more often the case than not. | These young men who carried away u& major share of the honors in the Washington Canoe Club regatta mag? their way here from a summer camp :n New York, itting wood en route to defray their expenses and at the same time acquiring the muscle which stands them in such able stead. It can not be called the irony of fate, but it is something akin—a little inci- dent that happened during one of the most important races on the program yesterday. The high-sounding Yonkers Canoe Club senior quadruple double blade crew was following the pace of the Washington club when a _1log bobbed up in their path, nearly costing them the race. Knowing how to deal with logs ani their like, the young canoelsts fairly pushed the intruder aside and then bent tneir energies toward overtaking the leaders. The Yonkers shell fairly rose out of the water in its speed to pass the Wash- ington canoe at the finish of the most exciting race of the program. College Resumes Sports Policy UBUQUE, Iowa, July 14 (A.P.).— A 3-year trial of a curriculum which banned intercollegiate athletics at Dubuque University has convinced the college authorities that a school can not grow if it confines its sports to intramural activities. Three years ago Dr. Karl F. Wett- stone, then president of Dubuque Uni- versity, made a sweeping charge of com- mercialism against all catiege athletics and ruled that henceforward the in- stitution would not engage in inter- collegiate compere but would con- fine itself entirely to athletic. activities among its own students. | Dr. Wettstone’s charges maought him When Student Body Dwindles and Dubuque University wide publclity, and his action was praised and criti- cized by leading educators throughout the nation.

For several weeks the Southern coach has been in communication with nu- ‘merous mentors over the country in- terested in the famous Alabama coaches’ school. He reports that more than a score of Wade followers have signified their intention of attending the. approaching session, but that the usual eleventh hour response from oth- ers .is expected to bring the total en- rellment to approximately 50 attend- ants. The fundamentals of offensive and defensive football in theory and actual practice will be worked out by Wade, assisted by Coach Jimmie Haygood, former Southern mentor. Much time will be devoted to actual line work, the proper development of blocking in the line, opening up holes, cross blocking and defensive work. For the backfield, the running of interference, taking out the tackler, actual carrying of the ball on the offense, forward passing and re- ceiving will be taken up. Forward pass defense will be gone into thoroughly. The youthful Washington, D.

Puzzles Major Minor League Moundsman’s Work League Managers IRMINGHAM, Ala., July 14 (A-P.). Baseball has it many complexities, but Eddie Wells, big pitcher of the Birmingham Southern Association Club and former Detroit and Washington moundsman, is probably the greatest puzzle of the modern diamond. He has been leading the Dixie circuit with 14 games won and 3 lost. But that is nothing unusual for Wells and it does not neeessarily mean he will go back to the majors for another trial. He has led the league in other years, although he isn't old, but whenever he “went up” something happened. What that something was has never been satisfactorily explained. Some have laid his failure to stick in the American League to an “in- feriority complex.” Others have de- clared the curve ball which he has used to such advantage’ in the Southern Association simply fizzled in_ the majors, being no curve at all. Yet none of these explanations have appeared convincing. for at times in the big show he dazzled batters and won consistently. But always came the fade out.

a ee + + oo 11 CONTESTS LISTED IN TWO SECTION OF UNLIMITED CLASS ‘Dreadnaughts Must Win to Keep in Sec. A Race. Celtics, Shamrocks to ‘Meet Again; Three Other Games. S son are promised today in sec- tion A, unlimited division of the Capital City League, and with the sea- _ 80n in this division about three weeks from the end, the games for several of the teams which are in the running for the championship, are vital ones. The Dreadnaughts are one of the teams for which today's game is most important. The Big D.’s meet the strong Alexandria Barcroft and Wash- ington Busmen, one of the teams that in the past has been one of the Dread- naught’s bitterest rivals for the cham- pionship of northern Virginia. To re- main in the running for the title, the Dreadnaughts must win, as George- town has been undefeated. The Dread- naughts’ hopes rest on defeating all of their rivals remaining on the sched- ule,. including Georgetown, which would earn for them a tie and necessi- tate a play-off The Dreadnaughts will send either Bob Lyon, a left-hander, or Jeff Smith to the mound, while Manager Deuter- mann, of the Busmen, will rely upon Laycock, with Edelin and Snoots held in reserve. OME of the best games of the sea- Another league battle which, in- cidentally, also will be setticd on an Alexandria diamond, will bring together the St. Mary’s Celtics and the Shamrocks. The Shamrocks hofd a 3-2 victory over the Celtics in the last game played last year and will take one of their strongest lineups in years to Alexandria to duplicate the feat. In attempting to avenge themselves, the Celtics probably will send R. Ham- ilton to the mound. Lefty Stevens or Swygert. of the Harps, will oppcese him. The Maryland A. C. wll stage an at- tractive bill on its home diamond in meeting the Jewish Community Center team. The Maryland club hit its stride a few weeks ago and has been forcing all opponents to extend themselves, and the fact that it will be playing on its home diamond means additional trou- ble for the Center nine Two games will be staged on local diamonds and one may have a bear- ing on the title. The games bring to- gether the Georgetown A. C. and the Chevy Chase Bearcats on Friendship field and the Petworths and the Ad- disons on Silver Spring diamond. The Chevy Chase club has been priming all season for its game with Georgetown and it would be just fate to have the Bearcats, one of George- town’s old rivals, beat them and throw the league into a tie. The game for Petworth will be its last league game of the season, as the club has had no postponed games. Saks Kroydens Play Red Top Cab Team Manager Dick Mothershead will lead the Saks Kroydens into action today against the Red Top Cab nine on the Bast Ellipse diamond at 1 o’clock. The Kroydens have regained their best form after a losing streak. Mothershead will probably do the pitching. CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE GAMES FOR TODAY UNLIMITED—SECTION A, (Al! games at 3 o'clock.)

HE six games to be played in sec- tion B, unlimited division, today, either furnish Ross Council, the undefeated leader of the league, an op-| portunity to strengthen its position or tighten the race, which already is so close that at least four of the teams have an opportunity of capturing the banner before the season closes. Ross Council is in the advantageous position of being scheduled in only one game against the Anacostia Eagles which will be played on the Congress Heights Diamond, while its chief rivals namely Auths, District Heights and the Douglas Athletic Club, figure in double-headers. Due to postponement earlier in the season, the Auths and District Heights will play a double-header on the Dis- trict Heights Diamond, the first game starting at 1 o’clock. while the Clovers and the Douglas Athletic Ciub are scheduled in a twin bill on the Wash- ington Barracks Field. The Clovers, for their two games with Douglas, will be handicapped by the loss of Padgett, who was hit recently in the side with a batted ball. He will be forced to remain in bed for two weeks. The Clov- ers plan to fight all the harder, Two red-hot games are promised on the District Heights Diamond as both teams are in the thick of the pen- nant scramble and a victory in both games for either would be a big boost. In the first game scheduled between these two clubs, rain interfered, which necessitated the two games today One game which promises to be bit- terly fought is the clash between the two service teams, representing the War College and Army Medical Center.

Varron,2b g The Sandlot Baseball Crisis A DECISION far-reaching In its effect on sandlot baseball in Washing- ton and striking at the very structure of the sport as it is conducted here will be handed down next Tuesday night. Representatives of the Capital City League and the American Legion posts of the city will meet in executive session to deal fearlesly and fairly with the problems that have beset the recently closed series to decide the midget class champions of the District held under the auspices of the above- named organizations. A champton has been decided. The Lincoln Post team, without a blemish on its record, won the right to represent Washington in the regional tourna- ments which lead up to the Junlor World's Series, to be held in San Antonio in September program. in conjunction with the American Legion’s Americanism But the position of the Lincoln Post as champion is threatened by a concerted movement among disgruntled leaders of rival teams to effect a replay of the series. After forfeiting all right to represent Washingtin in the regional tournament as a result of violations of the eligibility rules, these teams seek another chance. Naturally, the movement has gained momentum among disappointed teams and their followers and pressure for a replay of the series has been brought to bear by legion post representatives. The story of the legion series is a story brimming with disregard for every or virtually every rule of the Capital were played. City League under which the games It is an amazing story of evasion, transgression, petty arti- fices and subterfuges by most of the teams in an effort to win. Thorough investigation by league officials revealed that all save two of the teams knowingly or unknowingly violated paramount rules, and the Lincoln Post players stand in bold relief as a guiltless team, capping their triumph with a victory in the final game for the title. The fate of sandlot baseball among is in the hands of Capt. the younger element in Washington Harvey L. Miller, of the United States Marine Corps, director of the American Legion section of the Capital City League and ath- letic officer of the legion, whose authority in league matters is absolute and from which there is no appeal.

Emmett PareAdvances In Tri-State Singles Cincinnati, July 14 (A.P.).—Emmett Pare, of Chicago, and Marjorie Glad- man, of Santa Monica, Western singles champions, were favored tonight to win their semifinal and final matches in the tri-State tennis singles tomor- row. Pare has wended an apparently effort- less way toward a new trophy here. He easily met the reputedly terrific smashes of “Wild Bill” Beckman, of Cincinnati, in his fourth round match to win 6—2, 6—2, and then he took his quarter-final bout from a fellow towns- man, George O'Connell, 6—3, 6—2. Coggeshall, through a spectacular day on the court, made himself a favor- ite to meet Pare in the finals by his defeat of Gordon Lum, captain of the Chinese Davis Cup Team and runner- up in Western singles, 6—1, 3—6, 6—4. He returned to the court immediately and downed Bruce Barnes, flashy little Texan from Houston, in a hard quarter- final match, 3—6, 7—5, Falls Church Beats Cherrydale Nine, 7-6¢ The Falls Church Team scored a 7-to-6 victory yesterday over the more experienced Cherrydale Nine.

HE race in the Junior division of the Capital City League has de- veloped into a game of trying to catch the fast-stepping Corinthians, who hav been mowing down opposi- tion right and left this season. Sev- eral clubs are in a position to challenge the undefeated Corinthian. Nine and the next few weeks are expected to »e filled with plenty of action. The Corinthians meet the Calhouns today and from the manner in which the Calhouns have been playing ball, the leaders will be forced to extend themselves. The Calhouns were of little account early in the season, but a few weeks ago they became apparent- ly urked by their lowly position over several weeks and several consecutive games. One change is necessary in the Junior division for today, the Brookland Boys Club-itandard Ar- row game being moved to No. 9 diamond at 11 o’clock, so as to per- mit the Brookland players to leave with the other members of their club later in the day on a week’s outing. The Montrose Nine, which led throughout a good portion of the early season, and the Lindberghs will play at 11 o’slock. The Montroses have only one defeat chalked against them and with Payne to pitch, hope to win s0 as to keep pace with the Corinthians or tie with the latter club should it be defeated by the Calhouns. In the other games, the Congress Heights Nine and the Millers will be brought together; Hadleys meet the Liberty nine and Jewish Community Center the Aces. The junior tearns are more than half way through their schedule and the teams planning to cop the banner must, if they are not already on top, start their winning streak.

ARMOUR BROTHERS DEFEAT BARNETT-THORN, 5 AND 4 “ wie i: : +4, ‘me Fail to Win One Hole Tom Armour Leads With 72 on Town- Country Links. Women’s Tourney at Washington Draws Large Field. By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST. HE exhibition golf match on the course of the Town and Country Club yesterday afternoon in which Tommy Armour, former national open champion, and his’. brother, Alex Armour, both of the Congression:l Country Club, were paired against Robert T. Barnett, the Chevy Chase professional, and Arthur B. Thorn, pro- fessional of the Town and Country Club, was a one-sided affair, the Ar- mour Brothers winning 5 up and 4 to play. In the fourteen holes which were played to decide the contest, Barnett and Thorn dtd not win a single hole. It was a curious commentary on the golfing game that although Barnett, Thorn and Tommy Armour each played the first nine in 37 each, with Alex Ar- mour, 38, the first named pair were 3 down at the turn. This was due to the fact that the best ball of the Armour brothers was 34. Tommy Armour had won three holes outright, the second, third and seventh, scoring a birdie 3 on the latter hole, and on the holes where he did not fig- ure—the first, where they took three putts, the fifth when he drove into a trap, and the ninth, where a drive into the rough was followed by a second shot into a trap—his brother came through to secure a half, thus preventing the opposing pair from scoring a win. the continuance of the there was no spectacular golf, only two birdies being scored, one by Tommy Armour on the sev- enth and another by Alex. Armour on the tenth, but there were enough long drives, fine recoveries and deadly approaches to give a succession of thrills to the large gallery composed of club members and golfers generally. During match Tommy Armour was consistently out- driving all the other members of the quartette, but Thorn also displayed a tee shot that not only covered the same distance, but was always in the fairway. Several missed second shots, however, offset the advantage of his long drives. Tommy Armour, too, was putting well, laying all his approach putts dead to the cup, running down a 30-footer on the seventh and with six one-putt greens to his credit, but in the main the putting was ragged and uncertain. Barnett, for instance, had _ several chances to hole out birdies, but the ball absolutely refused to drop. On the ninth hole he ran down a putt from the edge of the green for a par 4, but on other greens he missed putts that apparently should have been made. It was not until the fifth hole, 500 yards, that Barnett and Thorn were able to overcome the hoodoo which seemed to have pursued them. On that hole both secured birdie 4s, but the match was over and this brilliant ex- hibition was of no avail. The remain- ing holes were halved. Tommy Armour finished with 72, the low medal score, while Barnett was one stroke behind with 73. Thorn had 74 and Alex, Ar- mour 78. the cards being as follows: . o> 4 a 4 4 i 14 3 4 i - Cure — i) os —— eee eee oS 5 me 5 ae 3 4—36—73 4 ‘ 3 4—37—74 The exhibition ‘match was only one the many attractive features on the program of the Town and Throughout the\day there was an eighteen-hole, medal play, handicap event, in which ' the men members of the articipated.

In the men’s putting contest Marx Kaufman and Dr, Lester Neu- man tied for the first prize with eight strokes from the four cor- ners of the green; Mare Goldnamer and Leopold Freudberg second with nine strokes. The putting contest for women also resulted in a tie between Mrs. Theodore Peyser and Mrs. H. M. Shapiro, each with ten strokes. James H.

The members were well-known sport- ing men—fellows you see at all the box- ing matches, horse races and baseball games. Each of them carried a fat pocketbook and each would bet his head off at any time on anything. You can imagine what happened when they were playing golf.

By BASIL G, WYRICK (Associated Press Golf Writer.) HICAGO, July 14.—"Slow up the golf ball,” is the slogan of a co- terie of American golfers who are renewing an annual campaign that has failed repeatedly. Not only has the effort to retrogress to a less lively ball been turned down by golfing bodies in Great Britain, but a majority of golfers in this country apparently do not want to use a slower globule of rubber. The war cry of those advocating the change is backed by the _ scarecrow labeled with the warning that courses must be lengthened at great expense unless their idea is carried out. The bulk of players, however, assert that the main thrill the garden variety of player gets out of the game is the dis- tance which almost any dub can get ou’ of the modern golf ball. “What if Bobby Jones or Walter Hagen do make:par look sick by scor- ing several strokes under perfect fig- ures,” Mr. Duffer says. “Let the powers that be reduce par to 65 or even 60, so that the experts can not overcome it, but leave us the fast ball. Why should they despair at a score of 67 when we are glad to get under 100?” The dub does not take into con- sideration the fact that the game becomes somewhat monotonous for the star who can make nearly every hole with a drive and a pitch, if he avoids traps; or, if he does con- sider it, he retorts that where there is one par golfer there are a myr- lad ordinary players who get plenty of thrill in reaching a 400-yvard green in two, or even three strokes. Let the expert get his thrill out of trying to score 100 for 27 holes and let the dub make a par or birdie once in a while. Traps may be wrongly placed for the topnotcher who can poke the pellet 300 yards, but the 100 shooter usually lg willing to dig out some new traps with his niblick for the impediment of such players, for he has plenty of prac- tice in the bunkers as now laid down. The golfers who advocate putting a speed limit on golf balls, nominally led by William C. Fownes, of Pittsburgh, formerly president of the United States Golf Association, put the proposal up to the Royal and Ancient of St. An- drews a few years ago. Their arguments were so potent, especially in a rather small country, that it was decided to take the subject under careful advise- ment. In fact, it was put to a vote in the countries that mothered golf and the scheme was voted down. Nothing like a vote has tempted in America been at- ‘Miss Fordyce Bows In Western N. Y. Golf N.

K =, —_ -— 7 How should a ball be played when there is a cross wind? By WILLIE MacFARLANE, Former National Open Champion and One of the World’s Great Golfers. The real thing to bear in mind on a windy day, especially cross winds, is to try to keep the ball as low as possible in playing every shot. For instance, never toke a full mashie shot to the green if you can play a half tron shot in its piace. The high mashie shot might be hit all right, but if the wind gets hold of the ball you have no further control of it. The midiron will keep the ball lower and, although the ball will run more off the midiron, nevertheless, di- rection is the main thing. The same goes for the tee shots, of course. Try teeing the ball a little lower and through the fairway; if the ball is lying well, take the driver again ot the brassie. Bétti Aadortnns (Copyright, 1928.) MIDGETS CHALLENGE All midget teams in the city are chal- lenged by the Colonial Midgets. Georgia 1h42 is the manager’s telephone num- ber. I know a certain golfing man, Whose knowledge seems extensive; He always talks about the game In manner quite extensive. ak eA VB . He tells you how to take your stand To do your longest driving; Or play a shot when at the green You are at last arriving. He will advise you how to swing With form almost perfection; He'll tell you how you can obtain Both distance and direction. But when I go to see him play, With thrill of expectation, I find he has not much on me— Except his conversation. LL roads will lead this afternoon to the Indian Spring Club, where Archie Compston and Aubrey Boomer, the two famous British golf- ers, Will play in a four-ball exhibition match against J. Monro Hunter and George Diffenbaugh, the professional staff of the Indian Spring Club Both Compston and Boomer have previously played in Washington, al- though in separate exhibitions, and both were on the losing side in each event. Paired together, they present a more formidable opposition, but Hunter 2nd Diffenbaugh have been teaming s0 well together in a succession of vic- tories and are so thoroughly. ac- quainted with the Indian Spring course that the battle this afternoon will not be a one-sided affair. At Indian Spring last week Hunter and Diffen- baugh had a best-ball of 66, at Rock Creek Park, 64 and at Rolling Road, 66. If they can keep thelr score this afternoon in these low figures, the Britishers will find that the task of winning will not be an easy one. No matter who wins, the gallery will witness some spectacular drives for all the players are long hitters. Arrangements have heen made for acditional parking space for automo- biles and a corps of club members has been assigned the duty of handling the crowd upon the course. An admission fee of $1 will be charged. Apropos of the paragraph in this column last Sunday concerning the younger golf players who are coming to the front, an editorial in the current number of the Country Club Magazine is of interest. It states that “talk Is heard of barring boys under 21 years of age from invitation tournament play in California, while allowing them to play in major championships,” and the editor, Sherman A. Paddock, remarks that “the plan is not without merit.’ The point is made that there should be no limit of age in sectional or State champoinships because the purpose of |a championship event is to determine the best player, whereas an invitation affair is for social contact and the pro- motion of closer and more friendly re- lations among the various clubs in any given district. So far as this section ts con- cerned, no consideration has ever been given to the age of an entrant and the entry list of every club contains many names of junior players. Whether the latter ought to be barred is an open question. It is true that.the boys have a long future ahead of them and to deprive them of competition in invitation | tcurnaments while they are still under age would not be a serious misfortune. At the same time, if they are good golfers—and most of them are—there would seem to be no reason why they should not be allowed to compete Even the fact that they are winnin32 most of the prizes ought not to be heid against them. On the contrary, their success in a competition, even against older and more experienced players, is an incentive to their ambition, while the lesson of defeat is a good thing for them to learn. There is, of course, much truth in the statement that a club invitation tournament is largely a social affair and that, therefore, it should be confined to older players. At the same time, to bar the younger element would make most of the tournaments rather color- less events. And, still speaking of the younger players, five juniors of the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club whose ages range from 15 to 20 years, played one day last week on the Washington and all of them broke 80. Gordon Stone, 17, led the procession with 71, followed by Frank K. Roesch, 20, with 72. Bon Gilbert, 15, had 76, and James G. Drain, 16, negotiated the course in the same figures. Thomas D. Webb, jr., 16, had 79, although on the day following he lowered his score to 72. On Tuesday young Roesch had a card of 69, as follows: 33453445 4—35 - §34433 44 4-34 Ray Chapin, playing on the Bannock- burn course last week, attempted to extricate a ball from the bunker on the first hole. The ball bounded back from the side of the trap and hit him in the eye, inflicting a severe bruise, but hap- pily causing no serious injury. There is a moral for every golfer in the receht victory of Kenneth Doherty, of Detroit, in the national decathlon championship. “Not a champion in a single event, for he did not win a sin- gle event, but maintaining a good aver- age in all,” says the published story. “Doherty beat out a field of 23 con- testants who started competition in the event.” Golf champions, as a rule, are not the most brilliant players. It is steadi- ness and not ar occasional pyrotechni- ca’ display that wins in the long run. Bobby Jones is a great golfer because he strives to play every hole in par, hoping for an occasional birdie by sink- ing a long approach or holing out with a single putt. Four rounds of 72 each are more apt to insure victory than a 69 sandwiched in between high fig- ures. Even the average player, if he is never over 5 on any hole, will win from an opponent who scores a birdie on one hole and jis several strokes over par on other holes. The value of steadiness is illustrated in every golf competition. Take the qualifying round at Rock Creek Park last week for the national public links championship, for imstance. R. Brown started with birdies on the first and second holes, but did not qualify. Sam Parks had an eagle 3 on the long fifteenth, but did not get in. Both Parks and Ted Burrows had 76 for the morning round to put each of them in third place, but when Burrows played the last nine in the afternoon in eight 4s and one 5, Parks was outdistanced. “He was too steady for me,” is the oft-heard remark when a defeated golfer gives the reason for his elimina- tion from a tournament. It contains a are in line for games. ; wore of truth. | feated ' } | Members of the Congressional Coun< try Club will compete today in «@ duffers’ tournament. Players with handicaps of 25 and over will play eighteen holies, with handicap allow- ance. The prize is a silver cup donated by Whitney Leary. The thrill that comes once in a lifetime was experienced by Frank Ghiselll, of the Bannockburn Club, last week when his second shot on the fifth hole landed his ball tn the cup for an eagle 2, He was playing with A. L. Houghton and Walter Gawler. Scoring eagles, however, is getting to be an everyday habit at Bannockburn, Leo F. Pass and W. L. Pendergast had eagle 2s on the first hole last week. The teams of the Beaver Dam Club captained, respectively by M. H Maler and D. G. Morris have played two matches and Maler’s team has scored decisive victories in both, winning the first 7 to 5 and the second 9 to 32, In the latter match, Mailer, Florine, Mc- Carthy, King, Bopst and Hottel de- Morris, White, House Johnson, Herman and Barnhardt, and won low ball in three of the foursomes. In front of the seventh tee at the Indian Spring Club is a large lake, William M. Smith drove a floater from the tee last week and the ball fell in the lake. It was plainly visible from the tee, tossed around by the miniature waves, but when Smith reached the water side it had disappeared. He looked around the edge, thinking that the ball might have been driven ashore, when suddenly it popped to the surface, It was followed by a large snapping turtle, which again seized the ball and dived out of sight. This story may be true or not, but Perry Hoover tells it with such an air of sincerity that one is al- most inclined to believe that the incident actually happened. The Washington Dental Golf Asso- ciation will hold a tournament next Wednesday at the Manor Club, with members of the Baltimore City Dental Society as guests. There will be team match play and medal play. Risley G. Hunt, Ray J. Morman, Ben 'L. Puller and A. Bolling Galt stood on | the first tee of the Washington Golf |and Country Club last week and dis- | cussed the question of partners. When they play bridge together, as they gen- erally do, Fuller is gladly accepted as partner, but in golf it is different. Finally Fuller was wished off on Galt and was given a handicap of three holes on each nine. When he had taken 6 strokes on the first hole, it looked as if his handicap was not enough, but to everybody's surprise he played the other holes in the first nine like a streak of lightning, scoring 39 and breaking 40 for the first time in his life. When the ninth hole had been played he was 10 up. “I have never been in the 70s yet,” said the elated Fuller as he stood on the tenth tee, “but today is the day.” He took 10 strokes on the tenth hole and was back on his normal game, The golf committee of the Indian Spring Club has decided to in- augurate the time system for Sat- urdays and Sundays, following the lead of the Columbia and Wash- ington Clubs. Reservations can be made any time after 12 o’clock on Thursdays. street “On G , Opposite the City Club,” says Mark Lansburgh, “is a sporting goods store window which dis- plays ‘matched golf balls’ in sets of three balls. If matched clubs have any beneficial mental effect on golf players, I suppose that it is thought that ‘matched balls,’ whatever they may be, will aiso help one’s game. Now aill we need is matched tees, matched foursomes and matched swear words to make our game perfect.” In the father and son tournament now in progress at the Washington Golf and Country Club, played in Scotch foursome fashion, the contestants are W: C. Henderson and son, G. L. Nichol- son and L. D. Nicholson, Dr. Thomas D. Webb and T. D. Webb, jr.; E. W. Cushing and E. R. Cushing, C. P. Stone and Gordon Stone, Dr Thomas J. Rice and T. H. Rice, C.

In a recent club invitation tourna- ment in this city one of the players claimed that his opponent had violated a rule by changing clubs after he had addressed the ball. “When you have taken your stance, addressed the ball and soled your club,” said the player, “you are compelled to use that club ye none other or else you lose the ole.” Of course there is no such rule, but to make assurance doubly sure, the matter was submitted to the rules committee ot the United States Golf Association. The an- swer was as follows: “We see no objection to the action of the player in changing clubs before making his stroke and know of nothing in the rules or etiquette of golf which would prevent his so doing.” A “ringer” contest, 18 holes, for men and women, is in progress at the Ban- nockburn Club during July and August. Although only one more club invita- tion tournament is scheduled for this season in the District, Washington golfers will not lack for opportunity to play in competition. There will be a tournament at Sherwood Forest on July 20, 21 and 22; at the Maryland Country Club on July 25-28, and at Rolling Road, near Baltimore, from the 19th to the 22d of September.

INTO EFFECT ON JULY 1 Manufacturing Process for New Lamps Is Much Cheap- er Than Formerly. By W. N. KENNON (National Lamp Works, for the Electric League of Washington). When grandmother used to sit down after supper, and mend the family socks, she’d squint her eyes, and gaze apprehensively at the feeble illumina- tion that the dripping candles af- forded. And grandmother wasn’t wor- 'fFying about mass production, although ‘whe did cast many a suspcious look at the sputtering and dying candles. If grandmother had wanted as much light as the average home owner uses today, grandfather would have had to “work 24 hours every day to pay for ‘the candles needed! Yet today, the -mverage wage earner only works 10 “minutes a day to pay for lighting his home, in comparison with approxi- ‘Mately four hours of work to pay for food for his family. Little does he Tealize that the convenience, utility and psychological value of better lighting in the home is worth more _than 10 minutes of labor to pay for it. Even more striking is the cost of lighting to the person whose incomes @ggregate many thousands of dollars @ach year. The cost of lighting their homes compel: them to work only a fraction of a minute a day, dnd yet we find them continually displaying - an attitude toward the cost of light- ing which plainly demonstrates an in- . Correct value scale. Prices Reduced 11 Times. With the recent price reduction of all Mazda lamps, effective July 1, the figures are made _ correspondingly lower. We can almost say that the cost of lighting is next to nothing. Lamps, 10 times reduced in price since 1914, now reach an eleventh price re- duction as seen by the following achedule of the standard line which comprises 90 per cent of all home lighting necessities. Current 1914 1927-8 New “—— Price Price 3 .20 As may be seen from the schedule, this price reduction brings the price of lamps to 46 per cent of the 1914 level. The lamps affected total 82 per cent of the entire national consump- tion of large lamps. A sweeping vic- tory for the economies of mass produc- tion. and modern efficiency. Pick up ‘a 25-watt Mazda lamp and examine its construction, realize the !nfinite “mount of care and precision that is needed to manufacture it, and then wonder how you can. buy it for 20 cents. Yet in 1914, the 25-watt lamp, sold for 35 cents, and it was not in- side frosted, it did not have an aver- age life of 1,000 hours, and it war very inefficient, due to the large num- ‘ber of hand operations necessary to create the finished product. The Mazda lamp, bought at the low pre- vailing prices, truly is a modern miracle. Romance of Costs. But let us make the romance of lamp costs even more amazing. A best seller mever had a more inspiring plot than the history of lamp manufac- turing. Picture the days when the bulb was blown by human lung. power, when the filament was strung on the posts by hand, when there were 38 human operations necessary to com- plete the finished product. Today, the mumber of factories and employes have steadily decreased in spite of a large increase in production. More- Over, today’s production may be in- creased 50 per cent without the single installation of a new machine or em- ploying extra help. In other words, one employe can operate 3 lamp manufacturing machines today where- as formerly 5 to 8 men were needed to operate a single unit. In place of the inefficient human hand is found the human brain directing the dependable steel hands of a machine. Substituting machine operation for human operation was not done in a ‘day or a year. Lamp development sumption. on it today, because you know. over what size dered a most interesting report on the proposed forthcoming electrical show, to held in the fall Many attractive features in things electrical are planned for this exhibit, and it is ex- pected that no one in Washington will want to miss it. P. A. Davis, vice president of the laboratories burned many a Mazda lamp over the problem that arose. Ma- chines were built, and then thrown away because they were not efficient or practical. The problem was to make machines that would do the job ac- curately at all times, not 50 per cent of the time. But each machine developed, no matter how inaccurate, brought the perfected machines nearer to being a reality. Finally, machines were de- veloped that made lamp manufactur- ne practical. nstead of 38 operations by hand, we now have only 10, the other 28 opera- tions being done by machines. Surely the consumer has benefited in higher quality and lower prices by the use of high scale product combined with efficient manufacturing and constant research. Higher Wattage Used. The question is likely to be raised that if average price of lamps today is 46 per cent lower than in 1924, are not lamp manufacturers standing a corre- sponding loss? The answer to this question, known to forward looking lamp men ten years ago, is found in the fact that the consumer has been taught the value of correct lighting. Instead of using low wattage lamps for all pur- poses, the higher wattage lamps are now being utilized. The socket that held a 25-watt lamp ten years ago now beams out with a 60-watt lamp. The public has realized the great saving of good lighting. They realize that the 23 centa spent for a 60-watt lamp brings them a speedy return in correct lighting. For instance, correct instaila- tions of electric light in factories has netted a 20 per cent decrease in the number of industrial accidents. Fur- thermore we know that the street light makes a dependable policeman. We could go on for hours showing the value of light, but at the most we could only touch the border of the field. But it is interesting for all to note that a necessity, constantly creating a sav- ing to all light users, has so materially decreased its selling price. Program of Uniformity. Instrumental in decreasing the price of lamps was the program of uniform- ity planned and carried out by the makers of Mazda lamps. We can easily remember the day when there were scores of lamps made for home cqn- It was like picking a needle out of the proverbial haystack. It was almost a game to find the right lamps for a particular use. You don't po ve lamps of 25, 40, 50, 60 and 100 watts are sufficient to accommodate 95 per cent of all home lighting requirements. When you ask for a bulb for your kitch- en, the dealer doesn’t have to puzzle to use, he gives you @ 100-watt bulb. So, too, in the living room, bedroom and dining room. The problem today is not to pick out what size of lamp to use, but to keep your home well supplied with light of suffi- cient amount. The price change suggests things. First of all, it means you can buy lamps at a lower price. That will increase the number of lamps bought by many people. But most of all it means theo realization of constant re- search for a better lamp at a lower price. There are no yearly models in lamps. But the minute a practical im- provement in lamps is developed, it is incorporated into the manufacture of lamps. By this means, the quality of Mazda lamps is ever improving. We have not reached the peak yet, but the ultimate goal is coming ever closer. The consumer ts today receiving a prod- uct far ahead of the times. If you are still doubtful, examine an inside frost- ed lamp, look at its 24-inch coiled filament which when uncolled would measure 26 inches, measure its strength by abusing it, realize how difficult it is to frost a lamp on the inside and then remember you can buy it for 20 cents. And if you still are doubtful, light up a few candles, sit down and start to read your favorite magazine, just as grandmoter used to mend the family socks, and just see how long you'll mang | STORAGE & last. lum bia. | There has been considerable com- ment on the story regarding stage lighting which appeared on this page of The Post last Sunday The story was built up after much work around the stages in the theaters {[n New York City. It was written by W. R. Powers, of the staff of the Bociety for Elec- trical Development, which organiza- tion is constantly cooperating with the electric leagues of th+ country. G. E. Wagner, of Barber & Ross Kel- vinator electric refrigerator depart- ment, and active member from that company in the Electri« League, has re- cently announced the appointment of C. M. Lake and H. S Pope as asso- clate members from his company. Mr. Wagner is a member of the executive committee of the league representing the refrigeration group. The Electric League committee which has been delving into the propo- sition of a combined electrical and radio show to be given this fall is headed by C. P. Hill and includes the following members: H. A. Brooks, com- mercial manager of the Potomac Elec- tric Power Co.; P. A. Davis, vice presi- dent of O. R. Evans & Brother, fixture dealers; J. C. Harding, electrical dealer and contractor, and G. E. Wagner, Kel- vinator electric refrigerators. This committee is doing much preliminary work which will be carried on when a decision is reached by another and perhaps larger committee. The annual conferences of represen- tatives of electric leagues have become an institution in the electrical indus- try. The conference this year will be held at Association Island, Henderson’ Harbor, New York. The Electric League of Washington will be repre- sented by A. F. E. Horn, president; Dean Gallagher, manager, and others. The Washington Electric Co., of which Charles D. Kenny, active mem- ber of the Electric League, is proprie- tor, has recently been awarded the contract to furnish up-to-date electri- cal fixtures and other equipment in a modern apartment building under con- struction at the southeast corner of Girard street and Georgia avenue northwest. The building will contain 75 apartments and 6 stores, all of which will be equipped by this fixture dealer Electric League member. ° = Carroll P. Carpenter, Electric League contractor, won the fat man’s race at the annual league outing at Chapel Point recently. F. C.

At the office he sits between, three or four 16-inch electric fans and takes his tasks according to the humidity. At night he again has the pleasant motor ride, and when he gets home, unless it is highly modern, he feels for the first time the actual tortures of the midsummer sun. It is hot, even after dusk. Many evenings feel no breeze. It is hard to understand how a day of work is not felt so keenly as an evening of rest, from a heat standpoint. But an examl- nation of many homes readily discloses the cause. There is possibly an elec- tric fan somewhere in the house. There may even be two fans. There is, however, no way to connect them where the family happens to want to be, and many times they are not used. These fans, too, are often “bables.” Where 16-inch fans are the accepted size for office use, 6, 8, 10 and sometimes 12-inch sizes are used in the residence For this there is no reason and no rhyme. It just happened. Sixteen-inch fans give off much breeze and greatly re- lieve conditions in the most humid weather. An adequate supply of duplex convenience outlets located at all the places where fans are wanted make it possible to have cooling breezes where you want them. Fans should not be limited They should be everywhere— one wouldn't think of having one hot- water radiator somewhere in the house, because the rest of the house would no doubt get cold. Electric fans should not be limited any more than the less sightly radiators, It gets hot all over the house, too, and it is far easier with a reasonable supply of covers to sleep in cold than it is to sleep in heat. Every bedroom in summer weather is entitled to its large-sized electric fan, for the comfort of the family. Every room where considerable time is spent should have not one but several electric fans.

St. Nazaire, France, July 14 (A.P.).— Ten million dollars in uncut diamonds are being sought by Italian divers in the hold of the Belgian liner Eliza- bethville, which was torpedoed off this port in September, 1917, The entire diamond Congo for the year, belonging to Belgina state, was on board in one safe. The Belgian government has en- gaged the Italian salvage boat Artiglio to bring up the diamonds. The plan of the divers is to pass around the wreck on the outside, lo- cate the captain’s cabin, in which was the safe, and dynamite that side of the ship so the divers can enter. The idea then is to attach lines to the aafe. the the output of more and more té the retail dealer who takes an active part in his trade or- ganization, for future development in American business. Every trade has its organization which is built to estab- lish a code of ethics looking toward sound business practice, based primar- ily on good service to the public and & reasonable profit to the members of the organization. Standarization is saving millions of dollars in the manufacturing fields, and this saving has been realized by the consuming public in two ways— first, lower costs, and second, more ex- cellent products. This standardization is carried to the human element in business through the clean-cut opera- tion of trade associations, such as the real estate boards, the Automotive Trade Association, and many others. The Electric League, of Washington, D. C., is the trade organization of the electrical industry in Washington, D. Cc. It has in its membership the ap- pliance and fixture dealer, the wiring contractor, the distributor or whole- saler and the central power station, the makers of the electrical energy, as well as the important specialists, such as washing machine, electric refrigera- tion, vacuum cleaner and other deal- ers. Members of the league subscribe to a code of ethics which calls for rea- sonable prices and honest service. Such practice is selfish to the extent that it is realized that substantial busi- nesses that last long can only be main- tained through the rendition of proper service to the buying public.

The instruction courses, to be held every afternoon between the hours of 1 and 4 o’clock, will be held in cooper- ation with the police and fire depart- ments, who already have trained rescue squads and who have offered to lend their advice and assistance to the movement. Commended by Hesse. Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, and George Watson, fire chief, have expressed high commenda- tion of the plan in conference with Leland W. Chandler, swimming in- structor of the Y. M. C. A., who will be in charge of the campaign. Chandler is an authorized Red Cross life-saving examiner and an assistant s:coutmaster. so he is serving as the official repre- sentative of the three Organizations in the undertaking. Chandler last night extended an open invitation to all persons along the river to take advantage of the free instruc- tion which will be available beginning tomorrow afternoon. All that is neces- Sary is to report to the float and ask for the training. Special classes at specified hours will be arranged for camp groups, should this be requested. Individual instruction will be given at any time between 1 and 4 o’clock. A corps of assistant instructors is be- ing organized under Chandler. A num- ber of members of Toc-H, the veterans’ fellowship club, have volunteered their gservces. The Life-Savers Club of the Y. M. C. A. will assist. Plan Emergency Post. It is expected the float will become a recognized emergency post on the up- per reaches of the river, to which ap- peals for assistance will be made in time of accidents, although this is not the present purpose of the enterprise. “The three organizaticns sponsoring this campaign are desirous of prevent- ing loss of life by drowning as far as humanly possible,” Chandler stated. “They believe that if more swimmers and boatsmen and other summer visi- tcrs to the river were drilled in the fun- damentals of saving lives in the water the percentage of fatalities would be reduced. “A number of lives have been lost in the past because of the fact that per- sons at the scene of the accident were unfamiliar with life-saving and resusci- tution methods. We hope to eliminate this deficiency as far as possible through a concerted effort to educate the public in the art of taking care of one’s self, and taking care of others, in the water.” DANISH ARCTIC GUIDE REPORTED RESCUED CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. Zappi with his pocket compass which he asked should be given to his mother as a souvenir. It also said that the two Italians car- ried away all the provisions of the trio in order to realize their plan of reach- ing North Cape and obtaining help for the six survivors, including Gen. Um- berto Nobile, whom they had left en- camped on floes near Foyn Island. (Press dispatches from the Krassin earlier in the day said that captains Marino and Zappi declared that Dr. Malmgren died on June 15 from exhaus- tion and that only then did they leave him.) The Swedish admiralty tonight said that it had received no confirmation of Dr. Malmgren’s death. On the slim chance that he still was alive they have ordered the Swedish fliers in Spitz- bergen to make an intensive search: in order tc clear up the mystery as soon as possible. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man layeth down his life for his friends,” was the tenor with which the affair was discussed in official quarters here. They recalled, too, a parallel to Malmgren's self-sacrifice in the case. of Capt. Lawrence E. G. Oates, who walked out into a raging Antarctic blizzard to die in order that three others of the fatal Scott expedition might have a better chance to reach safety. Capt. Oates’ great sacrifice was in vain, but Malmgren’s companions were snatched from the jaws of death three weeks after he bade them fare- well. ' Swedish officials are considering what steps they may take toward a formal inquiry into the whole Nobile expedition. One expert on interna- tional law said there was no hindrance from that body of rules but that dif- ficulties of a ~olitical nature might be encountered. He believed that a method will be found, perhaps for Sweden to propose a Norwegian trial of some sort since the Spitzbergen Archipelago is under jurisdiction of Norway. ‘ Nobile Denies Crash. Gen. Nobile has sent a message here gaying that he had no misunderstand- ing with Dr. Malmgren and that the relations of the whole party were at all times frank and hearty. Outlining the conditions which confronted them after the wreck of the Italia on May 25, the general said that the dirigible’s radio set was workable two hours after the catastrophe. : Distress signals were sent out un- ceasingly for several hours but then a mefect developed and there was an in- terruption to these efforts of one day. © . the evening of May 26 signals again were broadcast and this continued without interruption, day or night, un- til the morning of May 30. Yet no answer came from the outside world. “The pack ice was in motion during these days and our position was con- sidered desperate,” said Gen. Nobile’s message. “Perhaps I myself was the only member of the party still hoping fecal signals would one day be Oo long ¢ remained there ice.

Eventually the Pan-Ameri- can Airways and the Post Office de- partment look to an extension to South America, which will throw an air line over the two western conti- nents. At present the new lines will provide a line to South. America. Only one other bidder, the West In- dian Aerial Express, bid on the Porto Rican route, while the bid of the Pan- American Co. was the only one re- ceiyed on the Panama route. The bid in each instance was $2 per mile. The bids were entered about 10 days ago and since have been under consideration by the Post Office air mail experts. With these two routes, it was stated, the air mail service of the United States becomes one of the most form- idable in the world. Recent additions of half-a-dozen routes within the country. gives to nearly every large city air mail ser- vice at least three times a week, and in most cases every day. Service on the two new routes will start about Jan. 1. HINGTON ‘POST: SUNDAY. JULY 15. 1928. VAN LINES ORGANIZE INTERCITY SERVICE Stock in New Organization Is All Held by Furniture Warehouse Body. French Lick, Ind., July 14 (A.P.).— Organization of the Allied Van Lines, Inc., by 153 moving and storage firms of the United States was completed to- day by election of officers and the planning of routes for intercity trans- fer. Martin H. Kennelly, of Chicago, was made president and Barrett C. Gil- bert, of New York, and Arthur A, Leon- ard, of Detroit, regional vice presidents.

The spectacular possibilities of the campaign between the two great parties have so captured pub- lic interest that the minority groups are making but slight.-headway. Those who are left to carry the banner which the elder La Follette injected into the pro- ceedings in 1924 were unable to prevail upon Senator Norris to head their ticket. The Nebraska senator does not want to engage in the race for the Presidency until he has completed his self-appointed task of rewriting the Constitution. Neither of the old parties pleases him, but he shuns a new party until he can revise the rules of the game. The young- er La Follette also holds himself aloof, both from the existing order and his father’s supporters. He intends to run as an individualist upon the platform which he himself wrote. There are the Prohibitionists, but they, too, are in a quandary. The strength of this party has been shrinking gradually. It polled less than 60,000 votes four years ago. It lacks almost entirely the support of the leading pro- fessional drys. Men in the latter class are as much opposed to an out-and-out prohibition party as the wets. They prefer to work with and threaten the Republicans and Democrats with disas- ter if these recognized parties show signs of insubordination. They know that once the dry strength is consolidated in a third party they will no longer be able to wield a club over the party in power. It is for this reason that the Antisaloon League so often condones all other politi- cal faults in supporting reputed dries for office. Political dopesters must, therefore, make some disposition this year of the 4,800,000-odd votes which were cast for the La Follette ticket in 1924. Some of them will be found within the Socialist party, the only minority group which has real organization so far. It is not likely, however, that Norman Thomas will at- tract the majority of the La. Follette strength. The Socialist party reached its highwater mark in the last campaign of Debs when it polled slightly less than 1,000,000 votes. The difficulty -that confronts third party promoters this year is that the candidates ‘of the two great parties - Jeave but little room for the capitaliza- |- ‘tion of revolt or discontent. It has been many years since the Republicans and ’ Democrats both offered as their nominees men of such outstanding character. Public interest in this campaign will ‘center on Hoover and Smith. It~will be almost impossible for the smaller figures to intrude. It is only when one or other of the parties names a man that fails to measure up to the office that a third party can gain adherents. That is not _ the case this year, and the little féllows with their small ideas will have to sur- render the stage to big men and major _ policies. ST. SWITHIN’S DAY. _¢ Today is St. Swithin’s Day. If it rains, even as much as a single drop, the old legend has it that it will rain for 40: days and nights. St. Swithin was a’ ninth century English bishop who ex- - pressed a wish during his lifetime to be huried in a certain spot other than his church. In the year 862 he died and his wish was respected. A century later, however, his. body was exhumed for burial within his own churchyard and le second ceremony was to have taken a3 > 7 ‘oe $ a i; =. | on July 15. Violent rains, how- £ : ee ee 4 mS 4 { " ‘ } es i > : } 3 ry a ever, withheld the ceremonies for 40 days and 40 nights and the legend was born that rain upon July 15 foretold rain for the succeeding 40-day period. There was a day when the course of events was dictated by legends such as this. Today they have largely lost their meaning save to, the inherently supersti- tious. If July and August should prove to be rainy -months, however, many will hark back to today calling attention to the fact that it rained this place or an- other. If July and August are character- ized by a deficiency of rainfall, no matter if it pours all day today the legend of St. Swithin will be-forgotten. So it goes with all legends and supersti- tions. If they prove up they are re- membered... If they fail they have no defenders. Since the world has become an inter- connected whole there has been slight opportunity for superstitions and legends of this sort to retain their mean- ing. Ground-hog day in Washington may be cloudy. In New York it may be bright. St. Swithin’s Day here may be cloudless. In Denver it may bring a del- uge. The weather bureau publishes these statistics and he who is able to reason, realizing that if St. Swithin rules Washington weather he must also rule that of Denver, knows that his legend is only superstition. What a for- tunate thing it would be if all supersti- tions could as easily be proved false as the legend that surrounds St. Swithin. CAPT. CARRANZA. The death of Capt. Emilio, Carranza shocks and stuns the entire country. Mexico’s foremost aviator, he had com- pleted a magnificent flight from Mexico City to Washington a month or so ago to repay Col. Lindbergh’s good-will visit to Mexico. Washington received him with acclaim. The President entertained him. The Mexican Embassy presented him formally to a distinguished gather- ing. When Capt. Carranza departed for New York, Washington bade him only au revoir. With Capt. Carranza’s death, that “au revoir” became Washington’s “vood-by.” Thursday evening the Mexican Lind- bergh, as he had come to be known, took off secretly from Roosevelt Field, L. L., in an attempted nonstop flight home to Mexico City. His plane was not sighted from that time on. Friday afternoon berry pickers found his body partly hid- den in brush foliage near Sand Ridge in the heart of the New Jersey pine belt. The wreckage of the plane, strewn across the dell for a distance of three-quarters of a mile, indicated conclusively, it is said, that an external force caused the catastrophe. The wreck occurred at about 8 o’clock Thursday night. At this time there was a severe thunderstorm in the Sand Ridge area. There seems to be no doubt but that Capt. Carranza’s plane was struck by lightning. The United States joins its sister republic, Mexico, in mourning the death of this brave and capable aviator. Gen- erally recognized as an outstanding pilot, competent to handle a plane under the most adverse circumstances, it took an irresistible force of nature to bring him down. In the hero’s death that Capt. Carranza died, he has furthered the cause of Mexican-American amity and understanding beyond measure. To this he had devoted his interest and activity and now he has dedicated his life. The American people humbly salute the memory of Capt. Carranza, flying am- bassador extraordinary of good will. NORTH PLATTE. Considerable comment has been oc- casioned by the fact that a restaurant proprietor at North Platte, Nebr., refused to cash a $4 check for Col. Lind- bergh, and that in the same city the noted aviator was turned away from a hotel for “lack of accommodations.” Criticism and satire has been heaped upon the heads of the luckless Nebraska citizens who failed to recognize the most famous figure in aviation. - It might be well to consult Lindbergh as to his feelings in the matter. When his $4 check was refused he and his mechanic managed to find 20 cents in change: with which to settle their food bill. They ate and paid for what they had consumed. They found a bed else- where than at the hotel. They lacked none of the creature comforts, but, more important, Lindbergh fiffally found the obscurity which he has been seeking for so long. To him it may have been a pleasant relief to realize that a spot existed in which he was accepted merely as another human being and _ not regarded as a curiosity. The only thing that ever appeared to worry Lindbergh was the adulation and admiration of his fellow countrymen. Long before he had completed the vari- ous tasks which he had set for himself, the amount of all of which necessitated contact with crowds, he sighed for isolation. Grad- ually the country has been getting back to normal. Lindbergh is still its hero, but on occasions, now, he is allowed a little privacy. The happenings in North Platte were to Lindbergh a glorious fore- taste, in all probability, of the days that are coming when he will be entirely free from mob pursuit. OIL PEACE. The peace reached between the Stand- ard Oil of New York and the Royal Dutch Shell interests may have even greater’ consequences than was suspected at first. Plans are now under way for the calling of a world-wide conference of oil producers to agree upon further cooperation to prevent overproduction and avert price wars. An effort will be made to have representatives of the Royal Dutch, the Anglo-Persian Oil Com- pany, which is controlled by the British government; the Turkish Petroleum Gor- poration, which is developing the Mosul fields, and other foreign producers meet in New York with officials of the most important American oil companies to discuss a world-wide proration agree- ment such as has been successfully ap- plied in this country to curb excessive production. Oil-is pouring from the ground at the present time at a rate never anticipated. Venezuela, Colombia and Mosul are new fields that are creating a great over- supply of oil. In these countries and in Mexico, Russia, Persia and Roumania there are no restrictions on output and the various companies interested are all trying to get the oil out of the ground before their competitors exhaust the fields. Up to a certain point the public bene- fits from increased oil production. When oil brought from the ground overwhelms storage facilities that advantage ends. Oil in storage in barrels can not be held except at an ex- orbitant price, which must be passed on. Producers all over the world are acquir- ing this costly surplus. In the United States alone there were 610,000,000 bar- rels of oil in storage on May 31. It is to the interest of all the nations engaged in oil productions that sane and orderly processes be substituted for un- bridled competition. A great many dif- ficulties stand in the way of a solution. Conflicting claims can not help but exist in the gigantic industries which are in- volved. A great deal more is at stake, however, than the profits of the com- panies which will be represented. Eco- nomic peace lies through an agreement such as has been proposed, and beyond that world peace. YOUTH WJTH A SOUL. Gutzon Borglum’s offer of artistic adoption of Judy Rayford, the 19-year- old boy of Mobile, Ala., who won his interest through his poems, is sin- gular in these days of mass instruction for artists, with the result—as recently stated by one in the leadership of the craft in New York—that the country is full of art products that nobody wants to look at. The door is thrown wide open for those who aspire to reach honors ora livelihood by pursuit either of painting or the plastic arts. At least mere entrance into the schools is not difficult, although the machinery for the elimination of the unfit is lacking, as the uncalled seek against nature and reason, to scale the parapets. The opportunity which may be afforded this American boy to enter upon a career Yor which the noted sculptor and painter declares he has unquestioned fitness, is due to the fact that Borglum is sure that he has discovered in him a youth with a soul. The phrase is an arresting one, it suggests that many have capability for craftsmanship who have no conscious- ness of art, and can take on the manner without at all discerning the spirit. “In other times it was more usual for youth- ful genius to find personal sponsoring, but today it is the exception. Occasion- ally one who has the soul of the matter in him is discovered in time for his talents to receive encouragement to ex- pand and develop. America has pro- duced no more notable sculptor than the young Rinehart who entered upon a long apprenticeship through the meager scholarship of the Maryland Institute of Art and Design, and pressed on until he produced a masterpiece, the colossal David, which, however, is but a part of the many products of his chisel which have made his name immortal. _—_. Even a Rudyard Kipling flinging a line of verse in the direction of a sculptor already possessing international reputa- tion can contribute little to the halo of genius, compared with what Borglum may do if his judgment as to this “youth with a soul” shall find full justification. r—— er eee Upon the whole, it is rather bad business | ; 4 Mi \ | | Intensive Training. .-..°S =. wae — — for youth to be told it has a soul and to become soul-conscious, rather than being pressed by the inner urge of an unconquerable genius to soul-manifesta- tion. The modesty of yqung Rayford speaks well for his ability to preserve restraint and to take on_ training. Few notable names are given to sculp- ture, evey in the course of a century. AERIAL OPPORTUNITY. In the help wanted columns of yester- day’s paper there appeared this little advertisement: PILOT—With transport license: familiar with Waco and Challenger planes; for student, instruction and passenger work in Baltimore; state age, experience, present employment and reason for wanting to change position; good op- portunity for right man. As late as a year ago the country had no pilot shortage to consider. ‘The Army and Navy had been turning out trained fliers, many of whom, after they had earned their wings, left the service to engage in commercial aviation. As a general thing they were able to keep busy. Most of them earned a comfort- able living. Trained fliers were to be found wandering about the country, how- ever, searching for permanent positions and no operator of aircraft had to search far to find men to whom he was willing to entrust his property or the lives of those who chartered his ships. Then Lindbergh flew to Paris, stimu- lating the commercial aviation industry. The public became air-minded. Commer- cial flying organizations came into being throughout the land. Youth, stirred by the achievements in aviation, determined to learn to fly, but the demand for pilots has outstripped the supply and a com- mercial airplane operator in Baltimore has had to turn to advertising to obtain | a needed employe. In June, the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics reported upon “the opportunities for trained mechanics and pilots in commercial aviation.” ‘Forty-three prominent aircraft manu- facturers gave to the fund data relative to the requisite training and the. possi- bility of vacancies in their organizations at that time. As is natural in a matter of this sort, the estimates of de- mand for. new personnel were made guardedly, but the tenor of the report indicated that there was good demand for trained men. “Fhe number of new pilots that may be needed,” said the report, “depends on the development of commercial air transportation.” One needs only read the daily press to realize that the future of commercial aviation is rosy indeed. - The little classified advertisement for a pilot unquestiohably will be repeated in various shapes and forms with in- creasing frequency. A vast new field of activity is being opened up to the young men of the world. Only the well-trained need apply. Only the thoroughly com- petent are wanted. -Y ange. men who are williag to devote the time necessary to Pd | | make themselves masters of flying, how- ever, are and henceforward always will be in demand. PUGILISTIC APATHY. The date for this year’s heavyweight championship fight is less than two weeks off, and public interest continues to be léthargic. This is a new state of affairs in the prize-fight industry. At this point in the preliminaries to such an encounter public enthusiasm has usually ' reached fever heat, and partisans of the two principals are squaring off them- selves in their debates on the merits of their respective choices. There have been no such signs this year. Gene Tun- ney, the defending champion, and Tom Heeney, the challenger, are in their training camps, annoyed because they are not being annoyed by the hero wor- shipers who generally make life miser- able for modern gladiators. There are several factors that enter into this seemingly strange state of af- fairs. There has been a general weak- ness in the entire pugilistic market dur- ing the past few months. The ordinary run of bouts that are offered to New York enthusiasts have not profited their promoters greatly. It has got so that a marathon dance or a “bunion derby” contain almost as great drawing power. It may be that public appetite has become satiated or cloyed by the frequency at which top prices have been charged for poor offerings. There is next the attitude which Tun- ney assumes toward the public. The world has become accustomed to a dif- ferent type of heavyweight champion. From the days of John L. Sullivan down through Jack Dempsey, the titleholders were hail fellow individuals who reveled in the public admiration which was theirs. They cultivated their public and absorbed adulation greedily. Tunney is not true to type. He has expressed in- tense dislike not only for the mob that pursues him but for pugilism itself. It is only with effort that he hides boredom when he is called ‘upon to be a public character and perform for the benefit of the populace. Finally, there is Heeney. It may be doing the Australian an injustice to say that he is no match for the champion. That is, nevertheless, the general im- pression. He was picked, so the public believes, as the best of the bad lot, be- cause it was necessary for the promoter and the titleholder to show ‘a profit on their operations for the year 1928. No rash enthusiast has as yet predicted that Heéney will win. The open question ap- pears to be whether Tunmey will knock the challenger out. For all of these reasons it has been difficult to generate and maintain the “ballyhoo” for the coming fight. . It has been the contention of some individuals that it would be possible to promote any given spectacle only given enough pub- licity. The present case appears to Tt te Pol ie . ah ae ees demonstrate the fallacy of that theory. Before publicity can be generated there. must be some basis for the printed out- bursts. The necessary foundation ap- pears to be lacking in this case; to how great a degree will be determined when the box office receipts of the fight have been tabulated. “THE ADVENTURERS.” Every one is acquainted with the name and very many with*the fame of Capt. John Smith. That fame, according to his own account, was earned on several continents and on sea as well as on land. His association, whether romantic or act- ual, with the Indian princess, Pocahontas, has enhanced his reputation in this coun- try and, indeed, in English-speaking countries generally. Capt. Smith has, however, other claims to remembrance of a more solid charac- ter. The other day, a Blackwall, Eng- land, the Association for the Preservae’ * tion of Virginia Antiquities, of Rich-- mond, Va., unveiled a tablet bearing the following inscription: From or near this spot, December 19, 1606, sailed with 105 ‘‘Adventurers” the Sarah Constant, 100 tons, Captain Chris- topher Newport in supreme command; the Goodspeed, 40 tons, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold: the Discovery, 20 tons, Captain John Ratcliffe. Landed at Cape Henry, Virginia, April 26, 1607. Arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, May 13, 1607; where these ‘“‘Adventurers’” founded the First Permanent English Colony in Ameri- ca, under the leadership of the intrepid . Captain John Smith, Edward Maria Wing- field, President of the Council, and the Reverend Robert Hunt, and others. At Jamestown, July 30, 1619, was convened the First Representative Assembly in America. Thus, in the very forefront, is placed the name of Capt. John Smith. When he sailed on the Blackwall expedition as a passenger, his intention was to become a planter. During the voyage, having quarreled with Capt. Newport, he was placed under arrest, and for some time after landing was prevented from acting as a member of the council. During this period he led parties of the new colonists into the interior in quest of food, and it was on one of those forays that. he was captured by the Indians and, if his story is true, was saved from execution by Pocahontas. ’ Wingfield did not long retain the presi- dency of the council. Smith was active against him and succeded in having him deposed in September, 1607, and John Ratcliffe, captain of the little Discovery, elected in his room. Ratcliffe, in turn, after-holding office for a year, made way for Smith himself. Smith served the infant settlement well, for he was not only intrepid, as the tablet says, but also a man of great experience, sagacity and determination. Having done his part in laying the basis for the prosperity of Virginia, he returned to England in 1609, and there engaged in various colonization projects, for which he received the title — of “Admiral of New England,” mith noth- ° Rightly does the great State of Vir- ing came of them and he died in in1631 ginia honor the spot whence in frail bark: sailed those hardy adventurers who started her on her historic and gloriou ‘al & : n Le a ea i cee} oF

JULY 15, 1928. a eee ee HE EDITOR ON TIMELY TOPICS OF THE D f S | Criticisms of Porto Ricans by a Writer of Washington, Who Seems to Have Objected to Some of Them Throwing Brickbats at a Baseball Um- pire, Is Answered by a Na- tive— This Correspondent, Also a Writer and a Reserve Captain in the U.S. Infantry, Attacks Unjust Apprecia- tions of the Character of His People and the Bad Im- pression Which, He Says, Has Been Created, To the Editor of T! e Post—Sir: In a Fecent issue of El Mundo, published at San Juan, P. R., and our foremost ‘paper, I have read excerpts from an article subscribed by Mr. Nelson B. Bell and released in your paper, which ‘has ‘produced a decidedly bad effect among our reading public. As'a native Porto Rican, as an Amer- ican citizen and as a writer in the Porto Rican press, the undersigned en- ters his protest against the uncalled- for abuse and unjust appreciations of the character of our people, gnd he appeals to your sense of fairness to grant space in your valued paper to this letter. It is obvious that Mr. Bell is quick in reaching conclusions in regard to our character; and we are not one to shun the painful duty of undoing the bad impression which has undoubt- edly been created by his article among your reading public as regards the people of the island. It is also obvious that Mr. Bell has mistaken our propensity to be courteous to visitors for what he calls our sub- mission to power. Are we to blame if our usages, product of the refined cul- ture of our people and specially so of our directing class, fail to strike a re- sponsive chord in Mr. Bell? As to his allusion to the baseball incident, this is the first notice we have of that oc- currence, although I lived many years at San Juan. But granting it to be true, at least in part, is the character of a people to be judged by the action of a mob under more or less provoca- tion? Mobs are the same everywhere, and to this assertion we will let your Own press in the States bear witness; meaning, of course, civilized countries when we say “everywhere.” As to Mr. Bell's allusion to the effect on the minds of our people made by the “excellent- marksmanship of Admiral Sampson's fleet in 1898," we will let history answer him. Capt. Angel Ri- vero, of the Spanish Army commanding officer at Fort San Cristobal during the bombardment of San Juan by Sampson's fleet, says in his “Cronica de la Guerra Hispano-Americana en Puerto Rico” (his assertations are sub- stantiated by the American command- er’s official report of the battle), that the fleet's fire averaged 20 per cent of! hits on the forts and city, although! its artillery outranged every cannon on the forts and outnumbered them six to one; and also that “many of the inhabitants of San Juan observed the progress of the battle from the city walls’ and that “they behaved witb surprising serenity,” although the forts of San Juan had remained silent for a whole century; also that on the night following the bombardment the usual band concert was played by the army band on the plaza and was well at- tended, although a repetition of the attack was expected hourly. Does Mr. Bell think that people who acted in this way are likely to be in- fluenced by a show of power? We be- lieve they are; they would probably re- act toward rebclliousness. Let it got eurprise him that the s€me people who showed courtesy to the distinguished daughter of President Roosevelt ana loudly acclaimed a brave man like Dewey, would throw brickbats at aun inefficient umpire (it happens in the States) or give the cold shoulder to a self-sufficient millionaire traveling in his yacht and rejecting well-meaning eociability. If we Latin-Americans are like that we certainly are satisfied to be so; and it suits strangers to adjust themselves | to our usages when they visit us. We do accordingly when we go abroad. We would also like to ask Mr. Bel. upon what fantastic rights he bases the power he places in the late President Roosevelt’s hands “to blow the island into one thousand pteces and erase it from the map.” But Mr. Bell shows himself very candid when he asks whether a quar- ter century of American rule is to be considered sufficient to “assimilate more than a million people of a dif- ferent race and customs,” meaning, of course, assimilation into the Ameri- can conglomerate. ‘ The answer to this is emphatically no. Even Porto Ricans living in the States are not easily assimilated. And let us say, that Americans of the type of Mr. Bell himself coming to the is- land, constitute the principal obstacle in the way, not of assimilation, since this is impossible for ethnical reasons, but of a better understanding among natives and continentals. Fortunately for both, however, those who come here are not all of that pat- tern. Only recently we had the case of an American commander of_ the United States troops in Porto Rico (the troops are al] native) who, upon his being relieved, made public protesta- tions of his regret to leave the island. And this officer, a cultured gentleman, will always live as such in the high esteem of all those who lad the fortune of knowing or serving under him. Mr. Bell may be sure that every one coming to this island is given the treat- ment he deserves and that despite his poor opinion as to our civic virtues, there are those among us who are as roud of the blood in their veins as e himself may be, and who would do away with the progress achieved in the last 30 years, if by so doing we could gpare reading or hearing opinions like ose sustained by him.

Wilson Thought Smith Man Apart. ’'To the’ Editor of The Post—Sir: A cipal editorial in the Albany Nedickerbocker Press asks: “Where do the Wilson Democrats stand?” And this same question is appearing edi- jally in not a few other papers. * Do not the words of Wilscn himself, in a letter to a correspondent who was in doubt, offer good answer to such in- quirles? President Wilson then wrote: “X hove and believe that you will mot be disappointed in Gov. Smith, He is a man who had stood quite apart in a great many ways, and I believe he feels in an unusual degree the impulses and compulsions of the changed order of the Nation’s and the world’s affairs.” . This characterization of Alfred E. Smith spoke not only Woodrow Wil- gon’s conception of Gov. Smith’s asso- gilation with New York State, but, it - geems to me, clearly indicated Wilson's B _ belief in Gov. Smith's unusual quall- fications for the est public a Albany, N. ¥., July 6. Criticizing the Contents of a Letter Which Was Published Recently, Senor Don. R. R. Altunaga, Charge d’Affaires of the Cuban Embassy, Ex- plains His Country’s Sugar Tariff Proposals. He Em- phatically Denies Any In- tention of the Island Repub- lic to Get Into an Industrial Struggle With; the United States, But on the Contrary Hopes for Continued Friend- ship. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: In thetnumber of The Post of last Sunday, under the title of “Reader’s Views on Live Topics,” there appeared an exten- sive article by Mr. E. A, Burguleres, president of the Domestic Sugar Pro- ducers’ Association, which contains much exaggerated statements, considered, and very prejudicial, both to the sugar interests of my country and to the magnificent understanding, friendship and cordiality which exist today between Cuba and the United States, This article sets forth that President Machado threatens the United States with the closing of our markets, “if America has the audacity not to grant to Cuba the lowest customs tariff de- manded,” then Cuba will endeavor to ruin the American sugar industry, prov- ing its aggressive aspiration against the United States market, and finally, one is given to understand that the govern- ment of President Machado is intent on industrial hostility to the United States. This is not the aase. We Cubans are not mad with ambition, nor have. we yet lost our judgment to the: extent of making truly fantastic demands of the United States. Strong ties bind us to this country, ties of friendship and commercial advantage, and we are far from imagining that we could ruin American sugar interests. We are asking for concessions which can easily be granted by making mu- tual concessions. An understanding can be reached which, by aiding the American sugar cane and Sugar beet growers; would save from ruin an in- dustry which, like the sugar crop of Cuba, is the base of Cuban prosperity. If we arrive at this, American inter- ests will thus be protected. One should not overlook the fact that three- fourths of the capital invested in the sugar industry of Cuba is of American origin (something more than $700,000.- 000), and that, connected with this fundamental industry, are other inter- ests of which the statisticians take no | account but which represent immense | Sums circulating in the territory and in the American economy. No one should cry that Cuba is ask- ing for impossible things: that Cuba is devoured by the greatest egoism; that Cuba wants to monopolize the American market; that Cuba desires to regulate the pricé of sugar. Unfortu- nately, Cuba can not do this: nor did Cuba desire to do so at a time when she could have done so, when during the war she was the only source for sugar. Prices, Mr. Editor, every one knows, are fixed by the necessity of the con- sumption of the world and the skill and industry of speculation. Cuba does not aspire, nor desire, to hurt American agriculture. With ex- cellent intentions: without excessive ambition; without desiring to estab- lish an actual monopoly by the help by the workmen and the poor; by prov- ing with a pencil and paper that Cuban and American sugar inicrests can perfectly harmonized; by all tient work carried out with sprit of cooperation; this ts this pa- a true how the should be protected To state wise is to misrepresent facts aggravate a situation which ts reconcilable. There are no impossible antagonisms in the commercial problem of Cuba and the United States; there are the natural difficulties of matter ~which sometimes is used in a field different from its own nature with a purpose foreign to its constitution. In Cuba we are confident that when the opportune moment arrives these difficulties will overcome by concili- ation and thus the agricultural inter- ests of Cuba and the United States will be favorably arranged I am, Mr. Editor, Yours, very truly, R.

When the autono- mous organic act, which is Known as the “Jones law,” was passed by the United States Congress and approved by the President of the United States, the Filipino people were promised that their independence would be recognized immediately upon the formation of a stable government and that American control would be withdrawn. A contract was made between the great Republic of North America with the people of a small nation in the Far East. On their part the people of this Far Eastern nation have faithfully and painstakingly progressed and have achieved the goal—a stable government well able to operate and maintain a government ©f the people, by the people and for the people of the islands. On the other side of the contract we find an indifference to the great progress of the Filiping people and a reluctance, notwithstanding that a stable govern- ment has been established, to fulfill their side of the contract—to grant im- mediate independence. Happily this reluctance and indif- ference to the struggles of the Philip- pines and their dignified demand for a square deal does not apply to the United States asa whole. Great Ameri- can leaders, including that great cham- pion of small nations and the rights of humanity, the late President Wilson, have seen the Philippine nation fulfill the conditions set forth by the Jones law, and, with that sense of justice that is typical of the highest Ameri- canism, have called for fulfillment by the United States of their covenant— the granting of immediate indepen- dence. During the first quarter of the twentieth century, the period that his- tory will call “The Epoch of Wilson,” the United States led the world in practical idealism and pointed the way to humanity toward a brighter and more Christlike era of human brother- hood, After the World War reaction set in, hardening men’s hearts against each other. Nevertheless, the time 18 now ripe for America once more to up- hold the banner; the disheartened peo- ple of the world look to the United States for leadership and reassurance. A glorious opportunity presents it- self to the American people in doing justice to the Filipino people. To paraphrase a famous saying of an Amer- ican President: “It is a condition, not a theory, that confronts us.” Under American tutelage the Filipino people have fulfilled their part of a solemn contract actually made, not a the- oretical abstraction, and now they look to America to keep her promise. That she will'do so I have no dwobt. Most heartening to all Filipinos ts the declaration of the Democratic plat- form for the immediate independence of the Philippines. This is in accord with the traditional championship of that great political party of the lib- erties of the individual and the rights of small nations. It is a tribute and a recognition of the progress of the Philippines. It isa tribute to the American sense of Jus- tice and fair play It is a straight- forward assertion to the entire world that America is still holding aloft the standard of human brotherhood and international justice PORFIRIO W Washington.

Dr. Hubert Work Praised For Calling On Republicans To Abjure Re- ligious Intolerance in Presiden- tial Campaign, To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Ar- ticle VI of the Constitution of the United States, under the title “Public Debts; Supremacy of the Constitution,” in paragraph 3, provides that “no re- ligious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” Amendment 1 of the same document, under the title “The Rights of Per- sons,” lays down the undying policy that “Congress shall make no law re- specting an establishment of religion. or prohibiting the-free use thereof.” The provisions of the Constitution quoted, when taken together, form the chief stone of the arch of American liberty. and no true American will at- tempt to dislodge it by appealing for political support on religious grounds. In fact. all true Americans, regardless of race or creed, will do their utmost to exclude religion from political discus- sion, The candidates for President and Vice President of both the Democratic and Republican parties are sterling Americans of clean character. honor- able public records, and patriotic, Christian gentlemen, and, surely, the present campaign can be fought out on Strict party differences of opinion on governmental policy without calling into play religious prejudice. Dr. Hubert Work, the very able chairman of the Republican national committee, took a wise step when he called upon all Republicans to abjure religious appeals in the great political battle in which we are now engaged, and it is hoped that his proclamation in this regard may not fall upon deaf ears. I have seen much of tntolerance in the years I have lived, and am “fed up” on it. I have grown tired of both political and religious intolerance. and hope, ere the smoke of the present political battle clears away, all Amer- ,lcans, whether Protestants, Catholics, Jews or what not, may be able to settle their political differences in a broad, brotherly way, free of racial or creed hatred, just as we fight when our country is at war, shoulder to shoul- der, for the American flag.

And yet very few Americans have ever been there, though there are many of them who have been often to the West Coast without stopping off to see this wonder spot of America. * ” * ¥ > of the members of the Diplomatic Corps enjoy traveling in this country when they have the opportunity, some of them visiting all parts of America before re turning to their own homes. Among those who plan to go West this year are the Min- ister of Egypt and Mme. Samy Pasha. They expect to start almost immediately, accom panied by about half of the staff of the lega tion. The Minister and Mme. Samy Pasha have been much entertained lately in Wash ington, making their last week here ver) gay ones. One of these entertainments war a dinner for Mme.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. JULY 15, 19238. ne Par oe : at , bee . Ay —— P n fo Realm of Or ancl Boo TOM BROWN READY FOR |-MAN SHOW By ADA RAINEY. T* strength of an artist’s work is brought out in a one-man exhibit. By this test he rises or falls. It is not fair to Judge a man’s work by one painting either good or bad, as it is painted to one scale and can only show one aspect of his art. But when a number of paintings are gathered to- gether and can be so seen a more or less reliable estimate may be put upon the artist’s achievement. Although Tom Brown has never had & one-man show he is ready for it and such an exhibition would be a revela- tion of the painter’s art. In Mr. Brown's studio on Eighteenth street a group of his paintings were recently seen which proved him an artist of outstanding ability. He has exhibited with the Landscape Club and is at present represented in the group of Washington artists at the Corcoran Gallery. He has also exhibited with the Society of Washington Artists from time to time, but it has been an in- complete showing. Certainly he is forging ahead with his art and his Paintings show a painter-like and poetic quality that is rare. Recently Mr. Brown has painted in Addington, Pa., a little town near Philadelphia, and has obtained some charming effects. He paints in rather close values which give subtlety and elusiveness to the scenes that he de- Picts. He seems to enter into the feel- ing of nature with real sensitiveness and closeness. In “Prelude to Spring” there is a charm in pattern and a free- dom in expression that is wholly de- lightful. “Blossoming Trees” shows a Tiot of bloom in the trees which con- trast excellently with the trees and vio- lets of the background. A number of canvases were obtained from the same place which show a variety of treatment without any monotony of vision which treats of the stream, of the houses nearby and the bending trees often treated as a deco- rative detail in the painting. Eaéh landscape reveals a tender or lovely as- pect of the scene which s-tisfies one’s desire for beauty. The artist reveals movement, rich values and a charm of color under the sunlight that is un- usual. , This manner of painting has been arrived at only through much experi- menting. It is interesting to trace the growth of the artist’s powers in the various manners of painting. His earlier canvases were cruder, with good structure, however, but there was not the beauty of tones and the close values that are the charm of his pres- ent work. Often this subtle sort of painting is overlooked in the present- day tendency to stress strength with often loss of feeling for poetry and allure in landscape. Mr. Brown does not lose his construction ‘in the ren- dering of surface values, consequently his work is the richer and finer. But throughout the ertire group of paint- ings there has been a fineness of feeling for the aspects of nature that mrke for charm and delicacy. Mr. Brown is primarily a Washing- ton artists, as he has lived here since his early youth ai Jd has studied under Edgar Nye, with whom he still is as- sociated in his painting, although no longer a student. He has also studied under Fred Wagner and at the Cor- coran Gallery . * — Arts Club Dinners. At the Arts Club last week an inno- vation was inaugurated in the artists’ dinners which will be held every Sat- urday night. These dinners, which will be very informal, will be followed by discussions of the things that interest artists and the things to talk about. There will be no set program, but the members of the club will be admitted to the talks and dis- cussions. In this way it is expected that the painters, craftsmen and artists other than musical, will have their special evenings and that they will again take renewed interest in the club and the facilities of exchanging their ideas with their fellow artists. This is the real value of an art club and it is the chord that welds the members together in fraternal interest. The first Saturday of the month will be devoted to paint- ers and industrial arts, the second Sat- urday to dramatic artists, the third to the lay and social element in the club and the fourth Saturday evening to the literary members and their “mill.” The first Saturday evening was given over to a discussion of what the artists want for the new art gallery which is in prospect of being built in the near future. There was informal discussion of the situation which may come to a focus in the early autumn. * .7 7 * Mrs. Gaylord a Visitor. One of the visiting artists, Mrs. Hal Gaylord, of Kansas, was present at the “dinner and discussion. She was pass- ing through the city on her way to Osterville, Mass., where she will paint this summer. Mrs. Gaylord is a fre- quent visitor to Washington, where she has painted the gardens of the White House and other private gardens. This time she has made several water color ’ sketches of the gardens of she estate belonging to Smith Bowman, of Sunset Hills. * . * + Architecture Course Planned. A new department will be inaugu- rated in the Abbott School of Fine and Commercial Art next fall when the school opens anew after its summer ses- sion. There will be a department of architectural drafting and rendering, which will be an opportunity for the young architects who are working in the offices of the city. A member of the New York City Col- lege will have this department and will come to Washington especially for this work advocated by a number of the well-known architects of the city. There is no way that the student can learn this technical work in the office of an architect, yet it is most essential to his future success in his art. A large enrollment in the summer session of this school proves that its usefulness is being appreciated by stu- dents as well as architects and art di- rectors who have expressed themselves as heartily in favor of its present policy and working plan. - 7 . > Kansas City Gallery. . Kansas City is building a large new t gallery which is to cost $3,000,000. The funds for this gallery were given to the city by the late William R. Nelson, |» of the Kansas City Star. The gallery will be erected on the site of the old Nelson home, which commands a fine view of the city from one of the many hills. In connection with this gallery ; be the new building of the Art Institute school, which will be built adjoining it.

Becker, in the exhibition of the Cleveland Society of Pho- tographers at the Arts and Industries Buildings Until August industrial centers it is the dominant note that is heard everywhere. The interrelation, between art and industry is becoming closer and there is an awakening to beauty. The coun- try is becoming aware that beauty is a commercial element and that it pays to have this element in commercial products, be it in automobiles, in tex- tiles, in silverware or in the newest design in furniture. Manufacturers are out to capture beauty. They realize that new designs much more than any- thing else are an element that are practical and bring in returns to them. Design is becoming an all-important subject. The public is demanding forms that have lines that are harmonious. To this end the museums are becom- ing veritable schools for study The Metropolitan Museum in New York has study rooms, which are used by the designers for commercial manufac- turers.

One of the curious anomalies in char- acter can be found in the art collection belonging to Charlie Brown, whc is the proprietor of an East End “pub” in London.

It Is a rare collection containing precious art ob- jects, including Dresden china, Canton vases, old ivory carvings, Japanese bronzes, jades, crystals and ikons. The collection is housed over the saloon be- Icnging to Brown and the sounds of quarrels and raucous voices penetrate to the room where the treasures are placed.

S. DEVELOPING ITS OWN ARCHITECTURAL TENDENCY, SAYS G. H. EDGELL IN BOOK That America is developing a de- cided architecture of its own, at least what might be called an architectural tendency, seems well borne out in “The American Architecture of Today,” by G. H. Edgell (Charles Scribners’ Sons, New York). The book is built on three lectures on modern American architecture de- livered by the author for the Henry La Barr Jayne Foundation in Phila- delphia. Naturally, in this book form, the lectures have been revised and elaborated. The lectures were given before laymen and the book has an equal value in acquainting the average layman with a bird’s-eye view of the architectural art of this Nation. The book is beautifully and thor- oughly illustrated. The whole ten- dency is that of the optimist; the bad spots in American architecture are con- fessed, explained but not dwelt upon except to point the moral for better work. Perhaps after all this is the truest function of the critic, not to overemphasize the bad but to note it, gather warning from it and then to turn to the good which can be found in everything if one searches well enough for it. ‘ There is no doubt but that America has given two distinct contributions O architecture as a whole—the colonial ype and the skyscraper. They are truly American, although, of course, the Georgian schoo] furnished'the in- Spiration for much of what we now call colonial architecture. The sky- scraper grew out of the exigencies of modern enterprise, so to speak. Where Space is s0 valuable as it has come to be in great American cities it is natural that the many storied building should be the answer to a pressing problem. Color Is Neglected. One thing the author points ous most truly is that color has been neg- lected in architecture in this country. Our architects are not always daring enough in their color schemes, and sometimes when they are daring the result is far from happy. “The history of American architec- ture,” declares Mr. Edgell, “is dotted with disasters in polychromatic design.” Happily, this difficulty is being recog- nized and met.

(E. Co., New York.) These stirring stories of days of the in their human in- tensity, have been translated from the Saxo Grammaticus by Julia Davis Adams, who lived in Denmark for three years to make a study of the language and the life of the country. That she made the most of her oppor- tunities can not be doubted, when one realizes the earnestness and art ‘vith which she ‘translated. It is apparent that she has been able to leave in from the original much of the real spirit which caused them to be first penned. The stories are real, vital and grip- ping. Of course, primarily this volume is intended for children, but there are few grown-ups with imagination who can pass them by. This book is a real literary contribution to any library and also excellent story-telling material for children and grown-ups. THE RUNAGATES CLUB. By John Buchan. (Houghton-Mifflin Co., New York.) In this book the author has depicted many original characters, including Sir Richard Hannay, Sandy Arbuthnot and Lord Clamroyden, who, with their com- panions of the famous club, go through strange adventurers of body and spirit. Fifteen extraordinary men sitting around a club table, each one touched by fate and the whirlwind of war, and whose individual \life’s adventures would fill a book. The interest in this \volumne is in- tense from beginning to\end, for it has the elements of romance and mystery. When they meet again after having been scattered by war and adventure to the four corners of the world, their yarns and strange experiences provide the material for this book. mee 3 WHEN WEST WAS WEST.

By Rob- ert Metcalf Smith. (Prentice-Hall, Inc., New York.) Drama in its varying forms 1s a con- stant fascination to the human and Dr. Smith in discussing the types of world tragedy has reached down into the elemental principles of drama from the classical days to the present time. In the days of the Greeks art was the keynote of the drama of the period; to- day, naturalism is the underlying prin- ciple by which it is judged. The book was written primarily for students and therefore the historical side of the introduction has been minimized somewhat, as it was felt that they could be supplemented by lectures or by assigned readings. There- fore, it was possible to emphasize Liter- ary and critical values all the more. News Notes of Books and Authors Livingston Lowes, author of to Xanadu,” “Convention and Revolt in Poetry,’ and editor of “The Selected Poems ot Amy Lowell,” has just been honored by Tufts College with the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. Eva Le Gallienne and William Beebe were also among those who re- ceived honorary degrees at the: com- mencement exercises. John Zona Gale, commenting on Henry Wiliamson’s “Tarka the Otter,” says: “I have rarely read animal books with much pleasure because they usually seemed to me a record of human psy- chology read into lower animal con- sciousness. But Tarka is different. It has ail the power of a book about a human being told with sympathy and tension, and yet it is before all else a story of the little otter, uniquely him- self.” The Literary Guild of America an- nounces as its book for July “An Indlan Journey,” by Waldemar Bonsels, the eminent German author of “Maya the Bee” and other works. The trade edi- tion of this volume will be published by A. & C. Boni. “An Indian Journey” will be, from the point of view of produc- ticn, one of the most striking books to issue from the Literary Guild headquar- ters, according to the statements of its executives. It will be hound in hand- made Javanese batik paper. Its end paper is a decorative map of India. The volume is profusely tlustrated with eight full page drawings and numeroys inserts by Harry Brown. Louis Bromfield’s new novel is com- ing on apace and is scheduled for pub- lication by Stokes, August 23.

The winner of the $7,500 Stokes- Forum prize for the best American bio- graphical novel—‘“Hill Country,” by Ramsey Benson—will shortly be p lished by Frederick A. Stokes Co. in book form, having first appeared as a serial in the Forum Magazine. “Hill | compare, | than mind, | of color in the past, like Raphael's loggia or Pinto Pintoricchio’s decora- tions for the Borgia apartments, are be- Ing studied as such monuments should be studied—not for imitation, but as successful solutions of a problem—and a few monuments of American archi- tecture have Just appeared which can in the matter of successful color, with anything that has been done in the past. The author also finds that the influ- ence of colonial architecture is very much felt at the present time. The most prominent racial influence was, of course, the English. “This existed espe- clally in New England and in Virginia and the Carolinas. On the other hand, the Dutch settlers of New York and the Hudson erected a totally different style of architecture no less properly colonial that of.New England or the South.” Country” is a powerful, back-to-the- soil story of pioneer days on the Min- nesota prairie and of the turbulent time when all the pathos, humor and tragedy of the countryside were sub- merged under the tremendous influ- ence of James J. Hill, the great railway pioneer. It is a book American to the core, with its people so real, its dra- matic situations so alive that one is swept back to the eighties to share with these pioneers their intense am- bitions, their bitter hatreds and their steady growth. The author actually lived through the events that he now describes in fiction. As a boy he watched thou- sands of prairie schooners in unending procession crossing the Mississippi on their way to the Red River country, north and west. Later as a student at the University of Minnesota and as a newspaper man, he saw the begin- nings of the Farmers Alliance and the early sessions of the State legislature. Mr. Benson has recently taken up his abode in Bend, Oreg. sail for Europe to work on his third novel, “The Woman of Andros.” “The Bridge of San Luis Rey, which has been a best seller consistently since January goes into its third hundred thousand Although he has not yet written a word of “The Woman of Andros,” he has planned the story so completely in his mind that when he visited his publish- ers, Albert & Charles Boni, the other day, he wrote out a full description of the book. It should be even more eh- thralling than his other books. Sherwood Anderson, now the owner of two weekly newspapers in Marion, Va., recently visited the offices of his publishers, Boni & Liveright, dressed in a suit of jeans, a homespun cloth made in the neighborhood of his new home. When he assumed editorship of his two newspapers, they attained national circulation; and his cham- pionship of the town band elicited contributions for its maintenance from a number of famous people. Perhaps a vogue for blue jeans as summer wear has been started! Arrangements have just been com- pleted by Henry Holt & Co, for the publication in November of Anatole France’s last book. “Rabelais,"” which will be brought out in France in Sep- tember. This is a combined biography of Rabelais and analysis of his mas- terpiece, “Gargantua and Pantagruel.” One-third of it will appear in the Forum as a serial, the part pertaining to the life of the great satirist. The book will be given a handsome format, in keeping with its importance. It will be the final volume in the definitive edition of the French master. Bookplate of the first Presi- dent of the United States on exhibition at the Smithson- . tan until July 31. ~ Continuing along this line, Mr. Edgell said: “It was the early republican style. however, which actually brought to American architecture what we can call @ modern point of view. The architect, in the modern sense, first appears in that period. At first he was apt to be a foreigner, like Pierre Charles L’En- fant, that Frenchman with a genius for planning which seems inherent in French taste, who, in 1791, made the plan for the City of Washington and assured its being the most orderly and beautiful of American cities. When we stand together today admiring the vista from the Capitol to the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, when we discuss the pros and cons of John Rusgeil Pope’s Memorial to Roosevelt, we should realize that these effects were made possible by L’Enfant.” Cites Capitol Design. And again he says: “The design and construction of the Capitol at Washington taught Ameri- cans to look at architecture in a truly monumental way, while Latrobe's cathedral in Baltimore (1805-1821) gave to the country a building which re- vealed to Americans a design compara- ble to; and inspired by, the Pantheon in Paris. These works awakened a con- scious pride in American architecture:” Mr. Edgell found striking examples of various types of architecture in Wash- ington. Discussing Washington Cathedral, the author says: ' “A very elaborate and beautiful Gothic cathedral, in process of erection, is the Episcopal one at Washington by Henry Vaughan and George F. Bodley. The facace as planned reminds one of French rather than English work. though the general character of the building is English. The interior, with its longitudinal ridge rib and network of tiercerons, is inspired by English decoration, though the detail has not the floridity which we associate with the decorated style.” He also mentions the “exquisite grace of the apsidal silhouette of Washington Cathedral.” - Mr. Edgell also devotes some space to the Shrine of the Immaculate Concep- tion, which he declares is composed in a “frankly Byzantine style.” “In eleva- tion,” he continues, “it has a portico and lofty nave, reminiscent of Roman- esque. The arches are round, the de- tail Byzantine. Over the crossing is @ nicely adjusted dome on pendentives, low, as in the sixth-century Byzantine style, yet not so low as to be unpleas- antly saucerlike. It is lighted by win- dows in the drum. The interior has spacious barrel vaults, domes on pen- dentives, and walls decorated with mosaics. Interesting comments made by Mr Edgell on other Washington archi- tectural specimens are as follows: Praises All Souls’ Church. All Souls’ Unitarian Church, he saya, is of the colonial Georgian type. “Here the building is on a really monumental scale. The portico is deep and difini- | fied. The tower and spire, large in | scale, astride the roof behind the por- tico, remind one of such a building as St. Martin's in the Fields, London, by James Gibbs. The interior, too, with its broad arches, barrel and groin vaulted ceilings, galleries and entab« lature blocks, is pure Georgian and reminiscent of the best colonial work.” The Freer Gallery of Art the author finds comparable to the Cleveland Mus seum, “one of the finest and most suc- cessful of American art museums. Here, again, the front was left une« pierced, though the treatment of chan- nelled ashlar is bolder and the parapet perhaps a little false in scale.” Much merit is found also in the Na- tional Academy of Science Building in this city by B. G. Goodhue. “Modern- |} ist tendencies appeared,” the author comments, “as we have seen, in this great artistic work in Nebraska. At the Same time we have noted the refine- ment, so charming in his Gothic and Spanish, carried over into modernism. Many will agree with Mr. Edgell’s conclusions in regard to the Library of Congress that since 1897, when it was built, “taste has changed and nowadays it looks more ostentatious than we generally consider compatible with the serious, intellectual purpose for which it is supposed to be designed. It cost $6,180,000, but it looks its cost a little too obviously.” He is enthusiastic avout che Lincoln Memortal. He points out that the late Henry Bacon, whose design it was. was an architect of the greatest refinement and the most profound sense of monu- mentality. “He rtéverted to the classic temple form,” asserts Mr. Edzell. “He could hardly have done anything else. Proportion, fine material, beautiful de- tail, honest craftsmanship were the aids he called to express his ideal.” Lauds Lincoln Memorial. Speaking of the completed memorial he says: “It would be hard to imagine anything simpler, finer or more ex- quisitely appropriate. The universal ac- claim which the monument has had has been a proof of the success of its designer and the taste of its admirers.” In commercial architecture Mr. Edgell finds a wide field for the eyercise of American genius. He remarks in an- other place, “Nothing is more inspiring in modern~American architecture than the way the railroad station has been developed. Not long ago it would have been considered absurd to attempt to make a railroad station beautiful. The pulbic was used to smoke, gas, dirt, gaunt steel beams, befouled ~lass and dingy platforms, and considered these the .logical concomitants of the railway terminal. For a long time the designers were so preoccupied with the problems. of getting the trains in and out safely and of loading and discharging passen- gers that the thought of beauty never entered their heads This attitude still prevails in some parts of the country and is common in Eurcpe. Generally, in America, however, a determined ef- fort Is being made to make our railway stations beautiful as well as convenient and to give the entering stranger a first impression which will charm and not repel.” In his speculations for the future Mr. Edgell predicts that “the era of steel will work a transformation in the phys- lognomy of our cities which will make its marvelous beginnings look pallid and weak.” “American architecture is just entering upon a renaissance which will probably be regarded in future histories as a great architectural epoch.” Careful study of the situation cone firms one in the soundness of Mr. Ed- gell’s belief, and nowhere in the coun- try is architectural deve opment being studied more thoroughly than in the National Capital, where it is most im- perative that the beauty of the city which is to be should be most carefully guarded.—E.

The Washington Post. WASHINGTON; SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1928. Laughter Recedes, Commotion Bursts Forth and Clara, Too By NELSON B. BELL VEN the casual observer of the latest and most fashionable trends in the habitually hectic world of the commercialized celluloids will concur, I believe, in the suggestion that there is becoming evident a decided drifting away from comedy by various players who a few months ago were bending every effort toward the apprehension of bigger and better laughs for the enlivenment of the gyrating gelatines. This is a condition that was prophesied in these clairvoyant columns as long ago as last April, although it only now is beginning to assert itself. And not yet, perhaps, has the concrete evidence of this fulfillment of a prediction impressed itself upon the ‘public consciousness. That is because release dates of pictures for exhibition to the paying public follow far in the wake of executive decisions vitally affecting studio activities and the individual performances of those engaged in the enactment of pantomimes for the motion picture screens of the Nation. If the laity could by some miracle of penetrating perception see through EEG ig ee the screens and their familiar images in shadow to the new order of things Beat | Sie Lees Bi i te eB ge 3 The comedy riot of the season, “A just now receiving its initial impulse in the studios and on the lots of the ee toe ernie pls, te Scat i a a Texas Steer,” with Will Rogers, Ameri- big producing companies, it would learn that the days of flatulent flip-| | ie ae a pancy, if not entirely over, are definitely numbered. : a —— eee I have not the faintest idea whether this sudden abandonment of the drolleries of life, as they lend themselves to photographic rehabilitation by the cameras, is to be attributed to the public’s having tired of laughing or to organized rebellion on the part of the perpetrators of the airy non- sensicalities who have grown fatigued in the swinging of bladders, slap- aticks and the other grotesque utensils of blatant buffoonery—or both.

EARLE—Richard Barthelmess, in Regardless of causes, a few of the effects ought at least to call out the brass band and set. the torch to a capsule or two of red fire. e s . . OR example, the Conklin-Fields team has been disbanded and Chester Conklin is fathering Charles “Buddy” Rogers through the breezy ramifications of a campus yarn in which he himself ‘is cast as janitor of one of the college dormitories. For the individual endowments and con- spicuous capabilities of Chester Conklin and W. C. Fields I entertain the highest regard, but it will not be one of my most fruitful sources of future worry that such of their joint undertakings as “Fools for Luck” are to be discontinued! A very fine soporific, that seemed to me—or “maybe it was my liver. ' Wallace Beery, of the dissolved partnership of Beery and Hatton, has chillingly turned his back on comic screen didos and is going in for heavy, though possibly unkempt, drama. The short-comedy units at Fok have been cast into outer darkness. Bebe Daniels has announced that she will call it a day, in so far as the more robust humors are concerned, and hereafter be rather romantic than ridiculous, an ultimatum that Inspires my less lusty cheers, for Miss Daniels has burst many of my least superfluous buttons. Colleen Moore is confining herself to more dramatic roles, and even red-héaded Clara Bow promises, in time, to be ladylike and elegant. Up to last week I would not have thought it possible—meaning the part about the Bow girl—but now I am not so sure. This sudden flair for the less raucous forms of animated diversion no doubt marks the height of something or other and teaches a valuable lesson. For one thing, it ought to impart at least a vague and nebulous tip to producers that the memory of even the most sensationally success- ful comedy can be utterly destroyed by a suffocating avalanche of carbon- copy counterfeits. After the public has been burned nine or ten times it begins to entertain dim notions of the general appearance and approxi- mate temperature of fire! T of digression, ‘deserves to be watched. thusiastic review of her performance in “Ladies of the Mob,” published over the signature of this column in last Monday’s Post, an impression seems to have been given a few who take their cinema seriously that I have lifted Miss Bow snugly into the Pola Negri slippers solely on the strength of one reasonably substantial role in which I perceived many merits. I have done—or intended to do—no such thing. At the present time, I do not think Clara Bow can hold a candle to Pola Negri. But I do think that by the skill of her delineation of a sanely conceived’ and vividly limned character in “Ladies of the Mob,” she demonstrated the possession of talents that far transcend the mere ability to remove her clothing, which, after all, was practically the sum total of what many of her previous vehicles had proved she could do. Close analysis of the erstwhile flapper’s depiction of the harassed young wife in “‘Ladies of the Mob” reveals nothing beyond the utiliza- tion of familiar Bow tricks for slightly more worthy purposes .than heretofore. She was by turns coy, vindictive, consolatory, tender, heart- less; a saint one minute and a raging little fury the next. All of these things she has been in the flamboyant fabrics of the Glyn weaving, but never in the interest of any worthy cause. Asa lady of the mob of yeggs, her motives were pure and all centered in the commendable task of win- ning the man of her heart back to paths of rectitude. The merit of her impersonation was given an added effulgence by the reflected radiance of this glorification of motive. I 7. . * HE case of Clara Bow, if you will pardon the preceding paragraph From the thoroughly en- - : s T best, the hazardous enterprises of the safe-cracking brotherhood may not safely be relied upon to accentuate any actress’ command of the more gossamer qualities of her art. The gentlest of their mani- festations still would scarcely fall among the social niceties or serve as an incentive to all of the delicate parlor graces taught us by our mothers. So it is that I have not as yet catalogued Clara Bow, brilliant youngster though I deem her, among the great artistes of the screen. She has yet to betray any of the modest repressions of the truly masterful mime. This further development of her rich gifts of screen portraiture wil) not be accomplished until something of subtlety and the charm of repose has been evolved in her work. For instance, I can not now visualize in my mind’s eye a successful Bow performance of the Colleen Moore role in Edna Ferber’s “So Big,” or, going still further back, of the same young actress’ pathetic figure of the poverty stricken mother in Mar- shall Neilan’s ‘‘Go Get It.” All of these lights‘ and shades, it should be realized, can not be en- compassed in a minute. Any star must build her artistic stature to ma- ture proportions by the tedious processes of experience. And experience of the mind, heart and soul does not come overnight any more than all physical experience can be packed into the span of a single day. Hence, if I may say so,'my frank admiration of Miss Bow’s most ef- fective portrayal to date should not be misconstrued as a tacit declara- tion that she is the perfected combination of all that was glorious in the Bernhardts, the Duses and the Marlowes of the world. -$She’s just a good kid! > + 7 > OUCHING upon the personalities, purposes and pursuits of Para- mount, it may be remarked that this veteran organization has quietly and without ostentatious ballyhoo gone about the business of preparing “a whole show in sound.” This means that Paramount- Famous-Lasky will be among the first in the field to offer the exhibitor a complete program of short subjects and feature picture embellished with the turmoils and pandemonia of audibility.

LORD NELSON MOVES FLEET After three weeks at sea in salling skips, Corinne Griffith, Victor Varconl, Montague Love, Director Frank Lloyd and a company nearly 2,000 sfrong have returned to terra firma. A cinematic-reproduction of the Bat- tie of Trafalgar, the Battle of the Nile ard other historic episodes in the life cf Lord Nelson, hero, was filmed off coast for “The Divine Lady,” Griffith's latest and almost starring picture for First National. Despite the magrm®tude of the mari- time scenes of “The Divine Lady,” this sequence by no means dominates the picture, which deals with naval battles only as incidents in the great love story of Deady Hamilton and Lord Nelson Miss Griffith, as the lady of many af- fairs and one splendid, ideal romance, has been working in the picture stead- ily for over two months. The naval battles and other with old-fashioned sailing ships and men-o’-war, took place along the entire southern California coast, from Mon- terey to San Diego. Landing scenes were filmed near Monterey, and 300 miles south the principal battle scenes were taken at distances ranging from 50 to 100 miles from shore. Four ships were used as “principals” in the sea episodes, and from eight to fourteen others for distant atmosphere, n° action being shown on the decks of the latter. In this way the complete English and French fleets were simu- lated. THEY REFER TO THIS AS the California — eee Colleen Moore, members of the cast of her present starring vehicle, “Oh, Kay!” and the production staff will Santa Barbara to make location scenes there. A week or ten days will be spent at this beautiful seaside city, after which the company will board a sailing vessel and cruise about Southern Cali- fornia waters for another week before returning to the studio. “Oh, Kay!” which Carey Wilson adapted from the popular musical com- edy of that name, is being produced by John McCormick, with Mervyn Le- Roy directing. Miss Moore is sup- ported by a fine cast, including Alan Hale, Lawrence Gray, Ford Sterling, Claude Glillingwater and Julanne Johnston, each portraying a role which was included in the original stage ver- sion. ODD VEHICLE SELECTED AS DOVE’S NEXT With the entire story, except for a short prefatory sequence, taking place in 24 hours, and with less than half a dozen sets in the picture, Billie Dove’s current starring production presents many unusual angles, : Based on the stage success of a few years ago, “In the Night Watch,” almost the entire picture takes place aboard a French warship the day after the declaration of the World War, The interior of a modern battleship has been reconstructed within the studio stages with remarkable fidelity to detail and authenticity of design and practically the entire story takes place there, The picture is being directed by Alex- ander Korda, marking the third produc- tion this year in which he has been associated with Miss Dove.

THREE:NEW FACES IMPORTED TO ENLIVEN NATIVE SCREEN HREE new actors, a Frenchman, a Russian and an Englishman will appear in Paramount pictures dur- ing the forthcoming season as a result of the trip abroad from which Jesse L. Lasky, first vice president in charge of production of Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, has just returned. They are Maurice Chevalier, reigning favorite of Paris music halls and light comedian extraordinaire; Paul Guertz- man, 15-year-old Russian refugee, un- known, who broke open the door of opportunity by his persistence, courage and pantomimic talent and John Loder, a former British cavalry officer whom Mr. Lasky hails as one of the real screen discoveries of the year. “These three personalities, so widely ‘| separated by experience and so differ- ent from any others on our roster of players, should add to our program 4 highly stimulating dash, glamor and brilliance,”’ predicted Mr. Lasky. “Maurice Chevalier is one of the greatest artists and most magnetic mames on the stage of Europe. An entire program might be built around him, with effects increased in sound pictures by his wonderful voice. “John Loder has lived a life which ‘1s more romantic than the imaginings success, support in the film includes Kar! Dane, ”-— of most scenarists, and it has colored and force of. character. mechanical recording and shaped his art. I believe that only a very few pictures will be necessary to establish him as one of the most popular leading men with the Ameri- can public. “The boy, Paul Guertzman—who shadowed me and would not let me go until I had given him a chance, and so earned his nickname of “Shadow”—, I think is, in his way, the most excit- ing discovery of all. He has ability for mimicry and pantomime which aston- ished me, altogether natural and un- trained, and he has great comic sense There isfno limit to the possibilities ahead of him. “We intend to see that these actors coming to Hollywood are given the fullest opportunity to do their best work. I have the utmost confidence in them, and I believe they will pro- duce enthusiastically in cooperation with the facilities we shall place at their disposal.” Chevalier will appear in both sound picti,:s and silent, according to Mr. Lasky.

Mr. Schenck will visit practically all the European capitals and spend some time in Russia, where he will arrange the release of United Artists pic- including those starring Mary Douglas Fairbanks, Charles shaplin, Norma Talmadge, John Barry- 'more, Gloria Swanson, Constance Tal- | madge, Ronald Colman, Vilma Banky and Dolores Del Rio, and the produc- tions of Samuel Goldwyn, D. W. Grif- fith, Roland West, Ernst Lubitsch, Sam | Taylor and others, Particular interest is attached to Schenck's visit to Russia, in that tributing territory as far as American The visit vill be timely, for several recent U A. pictures have Slavic backgrounds, among them “Tempest,’ and “The Woman Disputed,” Norma Talmadge’s forthcoming release. When Mr. Schenck left Hollywood a few days ago he had been there only a week, having just returned from a several weeks’ business trip to New York and a visit to the Republican na- tional convention. The United Artists chief remained in Hollywood only long enough to go over production schedules with studio executives and to arrange for the handling of his multifarious California interests while he is in Europe. TOUGH GUY A GOOD BET TO BE STARRED a ee Robert Armstrong, seen in “The Leopard Lady,” at the Rialto last week, will go to work in the DeMille pro- duction, “Show Folks,” immediately following completion of “Celebrities.” As quickly as he is finished with “Show Folks,” he will start work op- posite Anna Q. Nilsson in “Ted Mc- Cobb’s Daughter.” This picture will be one of the special features of the DeMille program for 1928 and augurs well for the popularity of the young man. Armstrong, Eddie Quinlan and Lina Basquette will be featured in “Show Folks,” written by the author of “Broadway.” Robert Armstrong has met with phe- nomenal success since he left the stage comedy, “Is Zat So,” to sign with De- Mille in Hollywood, “A Girl in Every Port,” “‘The Cop” and “Baby Cyclone” are three of his best pictures preced- ing “Celebrities,” in production with Lina Basquette in the leading role. NORMA BACK TO PREVIEW HER LATEST Back from a month’s vacation on the Hawaiian Islands, Norma Talmadge is spending considerable time in the cut- ting rooms at the United Artists’ studio, conferring with John W. Considine, jr., production executive; Henry King, di- rector, and other experts on the final editing of her latest picture, “The Woman. Disputed,” which she com- pleted just before she sailed with her mother, Mrs, Margaret Talmadge. Miss Talmadge arrived in Hollywood ve time to witness a preview of “The oman Disputed,” which probably will have its world premiere early next au- tumn. The United Artists’ special is hailed as Norma’s greatest vehicle, and at the preview in a neighborhood Los Angeles theater the star, Joseph M. Schenck, producer; Director King, mem- bers of the cast, including Gilbert Ro- land, Arnold Kent, Gustav von Seyf- fertitz, Michael Vavitch, Olga Bacla- nova, Boris de Fas and others, were recognized by the audience and given a tremendous ovation. Although no announcement of Miss Talmadge’s next United Artists vehi- cle has been made, it is said tentative plans call for a radical departure from > nai the famous star has ever: one. While in Hawaii Norma enjoyed a daily swim, and since she has returned has been spending much time at her beach home in Santa Monica. Cast Complete. The complete cast of “A Single Man,” new costarring vehicle for Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle, comprises, in addition to the .vwo leads, Marce Day, Edward Nugent; Kathlyn Williams, Aileen Manning, Ruth Holly and Rob- ert Bold Bea the new Barry- | | more special, now playing in New York, | tight gz ? J the scheming of a socially ambitious wife and daughter. Exterior scenes were taken in Washington last summer, and the whole production, authentic in every detail, represents the big effort of First National to make a comedy special to make millions of theatergoers roar with laughter. The picture gives the inimitable Will the opportunity to air his pet aversion —Congress. Louis Fazenda has the role of “Ma” Brander, the wife; Ann Rok is cast as the charming daughter, Douglass Fairbanks, jr., is in the role of the dude sweetheart and Sam Hardy, Lilyan Tashman, George Marion, Mack Swain and many others complete the comedy cast. The added attractions for the week will include a new Sennett comedy of two-reel length, entitled “Gold Diggers of Weepah;” a new issue of the Metro- politan World Survey and music by the Metropolitan Orchestra, Alex Pod- nos conducting. FOX—Helene Costello and Owen Moore in “Husbands for Rent.” Helene Costello and Owen Moore are costarred in “Husbands for Rent,” the screen feature for the new week at the Fox. Both players have a long string ‘of successes to their credit. Miss Cos- tello is the daughter of the famed Maurice Costello, one of the pioneers in the films, and sister of Dolores, while Mr. Aoore needs no introduc- tion to lovers of the movies. In “Husbands for Rent” both have comedy roles, with the picture designed for summer entertainment. Claude Gillingwater and John Miljan are prominent in the supporting cast. For his stage attraction, S. J. Steb- bins announces Lieut. Gitz-Rice, who wrote “Dear Olu. Pal vf Mine,” and his Royal Canadian Entertainers. Lieut. Rice has appeared in Washington on many occasions, but this is his first visit with his own company, which is reported as exceptionally talented. Another Stebbins presentation will be that of the international dance star, Natacha Natova, in her own creation, “The Moth and the Flame.” This is said to be sensational. Still another offering is “In a Gypsy Camp,” with the Washington Salon Singers, promised also to possess con- siderable entertainment value. The Fox Orchestra, Leon Brusiloff conducting, will offer another of the summer request series of overtures. The Fox Movietone News, which has for its slogan, “It Speaks for Itself,” will round out the program. PALACE—Willlam Haines the Work.” This week it’s “Wesley Eddy’s Vaca- tion Days Revue,” in which Wesley Eddy introduces R. H. Burnside’s “Ocean Blue” on the stage at Loew's Palace. On the screen William Haines is presented in his latest Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer production, “Telling the World.” The pictured story concerns a youth- ful ne’er-do-well who, when ejected into the cold world by his wealthy father, gets a job as a newspaper re- porter, with his first assignment to in- terview his parent on the subject of why he kicked him out. He goes through the period of cub reporter and solves a night club murder and saves a little cabaret girl. She travels to the Orient and when Haines realizes he loves her he follows her and saves her from death and gets a great story for his paper. In this picture Haines’ wise cracking is toned down but never- theless the picture is said to be as funny as any he has been in. Wesley Eddy takes things in hand in “Telling |plays a ' twins, “Wheel of Chance.” The whims of fate, as exempliff€d by the roulette wheel, provide the theme of “Wheel of Chance,” Richard Bar- thelmess’ new starring vehicle for First National, which is this week’s major screen offering at the Earle Theater. The effect of circumstances and en- vironment upon the twin brothers, separated in childhood by relentless fate, was the idea behind the original story, “Roulette,” by Fannie Hurst. It ls followed faithfully in the picture version, which brings Barthelmess to the screen at his best, in a powerful dramatic vehicle, with suspense and “punch” throughout. The stage offering will be the latest and most lavish presentation of the Stanley Co. of America, “The Garden Party.” This blues-chasing, heart- bubbling, gloom-blasting, happiness- making revue is presented on the stage by Joe Bonbrest, who is acting as mas- ter of ceremonies during the absence of Jack Pepper. Included in the cast are Arthur Ball, tenor, who is known to every lover of Ziegfeld’s “Follies; Irmanette, who plays a violin and dances at the same time; Marie Mac- Quarrie Harp Ensemble, five lovely harpists, in a medley of popular songs, with dance and song interludes by Alsi Grims, ballet dancer nd Lorette Lee, soprano; Dolores and LEédy, ec- centric dancers, and other: In “Wheel of Chance” Barthelmes: dual role, portraying both One is red haired, one black: one is denied the guidance of his par- ents, the other is more fortunate. With great realism and understanding, the Star enacts the two characters. Lina Basquette, who played opposite the star in “The Noose,” is again his leading woman in “Wheel of Chance.” Margaret Livingston is the “other girl” who enters the life of both boys. War- ner Oland, Bodil Rosing and others complete the cast. The added attractions are a new twoe reel comedy, the latest issue of the Earl. Topical Review, and music by the Earle Orchestra, Daniel Breeskin, con- ducting. COLUMBIA—Syd Chaplin in “Skirts,” Comedy, riotous and subtle, runs rampant throughout “Skirts,” the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production from the shores of merrie England, now play- ing at Loew's Columbia. Syd Chaplin, the inimitable imitator of woman, plays the lead in the new film. “Skirts” was originally a London stage success as “A Bit of Fluff.” In this picture version, Chaplin demon- | Strates again his ability to wear wo- men’s regalia in the manner that cre- ates gales of laughter. There is hardly a sober moment in “Skirts,” yet it tells a story. The theme of the picture is based on the husband’s enjoying a vacation from marital cares while his wife and mother-in-law are away. They return to find one of the most furious com- plications ever devised in full swing in the parlor of their home, Between the departure and return of the wife there is a perfect stream of mirthful situa- tions, ranging from the antics of a trick dog to Chaplin’s famous stunt of female impersonation. The cast is new to American audie ences. “Skirts’’ was filmed in London, which is also the locale of the action, and most of the players are English, Betty Balfour, famous English actress, has the feminine lead. In addition to the feature picture the program is enhanced by the Colum- bia Orchestra, under the direction of Claude Burrows,. an organlogue, the M-G-M newsreel and selected short sub- jects. PREVIEW AUDIENCE REPORTS © AID IN CHECKING MISTAKES (“You are the first audience to see the picture previewed tonight. The producers would value and appreciate your opinion of it before making final alterations for general release.” ) AMA, papa and even the kids who attend the neighborhood theaters in and adjacent to Hollywood are familiar with the mes- sage above. It is handed to them on stamped and return-addressed t- cards as they leave the exits for their homes. Not always, of course, but just on those evenings when their favorite show house has been used for a pre- view of a new picture. Many times whole sequences of pro- ductions have been changed.to meet the criticisms of an intelligent pre- view audience. And in Southern Cali- fornia, all audiences are more than ca- pable of intelligent motion picture criticism. They have been seeing stu- dio previews for a long time. Preview audiences know the impor- tance of good cutting, or editing, of a film, and they leap on errors with an eag-rness that makes it easier for the picture makers who are sincere in their ae: beets! for opinions. Technical faults pointed out are corrected when the film is: taken back to the studio for the added work that is always re- quired. The cards on which the audience its uested to write their opinions have req ample room for 50 or 60 words of com- ment. 6% Coste Dad : “Many times the studio manager on the next day is saved effort through the appearance of but one word. That one word can mean much. Some write “good” and then add force to their appraisal by the addition of several exclamation marks. In “Warming Up,” the most recent Richard Dix picture, a small technical fault was caught by only one member of the preview audience after all who had worked on the picture had thought it right in every respect. This “previewer” had noticed that | an object on a table was moved to an- other position when the camera had been moved to close up from a long shot, and that there was no action by the characters to account for it. One person out of probably 600 had noticed that fault, or noticing it had troubled to write in about it. Yet the fault was remedied at the studios the next day, and silent thanks were given to the keen-eyed theater patron who had caught it. .

7 Ay SMILE AFTER FILMING PLAY 7 p By BARTLETT -ORMACK. _ (A review of the film version of the Jamous stage success, “The Racket,” written by Bartlett Cormack, author of the play, who adapted the material for the screen and came away from Holly- in pleasant mood.) HE executives, secretaries and pub- licity men who took me through & private showing of the picture Lewis Milestone made of “The Racket” considerately waited for me to get my wind (they've had their experiences with playwrights after showing the Playwrights what Hollywood did to their art), and then in a kind of re- signed way asked me how I liked it. Well, I waited, to get my wind (Mr. Milestone, the director, and the pro- .ducer, the young Caddo Co., hav- ing done something very ‘remarkable with “The Racket’), and then in a kind of astounded way said that the picture was nothing less than grand; that it was the first perfected transla- tion of a stage play to the screen in spirit, story, characterization, dialogue and setting; that in spite of its having stuck to the playwright’s knitting it was continuously interesting, exciting ‘and beautifully photographed’ that its ’ refusal to sugarcoat its material was— knowing the picture business and the taste of the mass public that must be @atisfied if it is to stay in business— courageous; that—I—uh—liked it very much, “My goodness!” one of the execu- tives whispered. “Comes the dawn.” Perhaps it has. Perhaps, without taking too seriously the result accom- plished by one attempt to film the play that was bought instead of cer- tain characters and situations of the play climbing marshmallow trees, the excellence of “The Racket,” as a picture will at least indicate to other producers (Howard Hughes, who owns the Caddo Co., dislikes marshmallows out of their ‘proper context) that if a successful stage play has screen material enough to be bought it has screen material enough to be photographed, including the title. (They have kept the title of “The Racket” for the picture, by the way, and when during the run of the play in. New York even the Theatre Maga- zine seriously referred to it as “The Racquet,” and my—and your—Aunt Emma thought that “The Racket” meant “noise,” don’t teli me that’s not determination to shoot the works, win, draw, or lose). Perhaps, too, when this picture is ween by critics and other associates of playwrights there will come another kind of dawn. I mean that perhaps it will dawn upon the critics and as- sociates, that, Just perhaps, the play- wrights whose bleats about the ruina- tion that Hollywood wreaks upon their for days after their summary return from lunching at the Mo-Mart on Hollywood boulevard—that these hurt and indignant souls were incompetent to do the job for which they were transported in lacquered, and liquored, drawing-rooms to coast. I went to Hollywood, and with Mr. for “The Racket,” and though I landed in a swirl of warnings, dire prophecies, and sympathetic handicaps from brother authors who were having the very devil of a time convincing super- visors that they knew their siness, I received nothing but enthusiastic and shrewdly intelligent help with what I had to do I remember that once, my head still ringing with the awful things I'd heard from the brothers about t*e cheapness of Hollywood and the tim- idity of its executives, I proudly an- nounced to Mr. Milestone that after fighting the problem all night I had a simply swell and very clever way of fusing a real love story into the play, because, of course, they’d have to have some love int—— I was told that love stuff in such a story as “The Racket” would be “lousy hokum,” and that if I thought I had come to Hollywood, Calif., to patronize directors and producers just because a pack of incompetent writers who don’t know their business scream about the stupidity of directors and producers who do know their business, well, I could go loaf around and meet actresses, like other authors, and let some starving scenario guy have the job. I apologized. All this seemed s however, that I investigated and learned that I had gotten “a break,” the. break being this Lewis Milestone, and backing him up, Mr. Hughes. And, oh, yes; that there were no superviscrs in the Caddo Co. I admit it gratefully. Jim Tully may know another director who would have made as fine and exciting a picture of “The Racket” as Mr. Milestone did, but I don’t. Others have, singly, the quali- ties he has—intelligence, imagination, sensitivity, humor and technical vir- tuosity (see the camera angles and continuity shots in this picture), but they haven't got his nerve. Believe me, as far as this screen- translated playwright is concerned, both “The Racket” as a picture and Hollywood are, as Hollywood says, “okay.” Except, of course, having the desk sergeant at the police station in the “sticks” wear his uniform cap while on the desk. Desk sergeants in the suburbs just don’t do that, Mr. Milestone. There’s one complaint, any- way, to keep me in the Authors Speak- well, unusual, art fill offices, streets, and speakeasies easy League!

Guy Oliver will play in “The Docks of New York,” the new picture starring George Bancroft, which has a cast in- cluding Betty Compson, Baclanova, Clyde Cook and Gustav von Seyffertitz. 4 Eddie Dunn, twelve years in the pic- ture business and one of the best “dumb pan” comedians in the profes- sion, has been cast for a featured part in Clara Bow’s next starring picture, “The Fieet’s In.” The Swiss Industrial Commission, composed of national officials, bankers end industrial leaders, recently visited First National studios as the guests of Billie Dove, First National star, who is of Swiss descent. Loretta Young, youngest leading lady at the First National Studios, has taken up equitation and is rapidly be- coming an expert rider.

After a few days in New York City, Hunt Stromberg and his wife sailed for Europe on the Berengaria for a Euro- pean vacation.

NOVEL SETS UTILIZED IN GRIM DRAMA An interesting variety of sets was used in the making of “The Wheel of Chance,” the latest Richard Barthel- mess starring vehicle which is now on the screen at the Earle Theater. The opening sequences were made in &@ Russian village specially built for this production. The village comprised eighteen distinct buildings, with streets, public squares, &c. This entire set was burned to the ground in a spectac- ular conflagration supposedly started by a pogrom. The second sequence was done within a typical Russian peas- ant home, the interior of which was hung with characteristic objects and marked by the huge oven around which the family life of those people is cen- tered. The foregoing sets were used only in the opening or prologue sequences, the bulk of the story taking place in mod- ern New York City. In the New York portion of the story there were twelve sets, the group.,representing in contrast the better residential district and the slum district. One of these sets was a complete New York apartment furnished, as any family would like it, and quite livable in appearance. One was an apartment in which dwelled the butterfly type of woman, this role played by Mar- garet Livingston. The East Side sets included a typical New York honky-tonk, one of those strong as stage director. Karl Dane recently completed a new beach home in Santa Monica and plans to move in as a year-around resident of the ocean city. George Bancroft is daily covered with grease and soot from his role in “The Stoker.” He works in the furnaces and coal pits. James T. O’Donohue has completed the adaptation and continuity for “Show Girl,” Alice White’s first fea- ture vehicle, which Alfred Santell will direct. It is based on J. P. McEvoy’s story of Broadway. Oliver H. P. Harrett has been as- signed to do the screen adaptation for John Monk Satinders’ new alr story, “Dirigible,” which is expected to be an important productior in the fall pic- ture program. Clive Brook, popular leading man, has just signed a new contract to remain in Paramount pictures. He has been engaged recently in the all-star pro- duction of “Forgotten Faces.” He is scheduled for a series of dramatic pic- tures in which he will be cofeatured with Evelyn Brent. George Marion, jr., has been assigned to title “Just Married,” the Anne Nich- ols stage play* made into a film with Ruth Taylor and James Hall cofeatur- ed. Herman Mankiewicz is titling “The Water Hole,” the Zane Gray story in which Jack Holt is starred, with Nancy Carroll as leading woman. Evelyn Brent, having returned to Hollywood from her recent vacation in the East, is preparing for work in “Interference,” in which she will be cofeatured with Clive Brook. The pic- ture is from the stage play which was one of the outstanding successes of the past New York season. Theodore Roberts, well and strong again after a long illness, the other day visited the Paramount studio which witnessed most of the important productions of his long film career, He was a guest of Clara Bow on the set where “The Fleet’s In” was being made. . Bebe Daniels was stricken with in- fluenza while at the studio the other day and was taken to the Hollywood Hospital. It was expected the illness would keep her from work for about a week. She was engaged in making “Take Me Home” under the direction of Marshall Neilan. Louise Brooks, changing her plans suddenly, left Hollywood for a vacation trip in New York the other day. She recently completed work in the leading woman’s role of Jim Tully’s “Beggars of Life’ and upon her return to the Paramount studio will] begin work in “The Canary Murder Case” which is to star William Powell. “Shadows of the Night” has been se- lected as the final title for the picture formerly known as “The Deadline,” a second vehicle for Flash, Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer canine star who made his screen debut in “Under the Black Eagle.” The new picture has a news- paper background with D. Ross Leder- man, director. Karl Dane, who has been a very pular player since “The Big Parade,” as signed a new long-term contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Dane has one of the leading roles in “The Trail of ’98," the gold rush picture now at the Astor Theater, Manhattan, and is being costarred with George K. Arthur in a series of featured comedies, the most kies.”’ , John Davidson, formerly one of Cecil B.

Probably, the most interesting of all was the great courtroom set. For this the designers were given a free hand and produced a startling composition done in the modernistic manner. It is against this background that the dra- matic denouement of “The Wheel of Chance” takes place. CLEANING UP ON THE LOTS It costs in excess of $100 per day to keep the players at the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer studios neat and clean. Not that the studios hire valets to keep the players in proper condition, but the $100 item is spent every 24 hours for dry cleaning dresses, negli- gees, uniforms and other equipment. Cleaners who work for the motion picture studios do very rush work and most of it at night since costumes worn by actors and actresses are turned into the wardrobe department after the close of work. They must be cleaned and ready for ‘wear the next morning. On certain big pictures such as “The Cossacks” and “The Trail of ‘98,” where thousands of extras are employed and their clothing is dirtied every day, the cleaning bill is, of course, much higher. Duplication of clothing in some cases is impossible and in any event is likely to cause delay which might cost thousands of dollars. So the M-G-M wardrobe department secures the most expert cleaners obtainable to reduce the chances of ruining a dress or a suit of clothes at a moment when the mistake might prove costly. Rah! Rah! Rah! Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo have been selected as the favorite motion picture players of Princeton College, ac- cording to the results of a ballot taken by the university graduating class. A BEAUTIFUL PLAYER BORN TO THE GAME TT Though Helene Costello, featured with Owen Moore in “Husbands for Rent,” the farce-comedy now at the Fox Theater, needs no borrowed glory, it is of interest to remember that she is to the movies born—her father hav- ing been one of the first international screen idols, and her sister one of the present reigning queens. Helene at one time had her studio chair marked “Helene, Daughter of Maurice, sister of Dolores,” but her own charm, beauty and intelligence have made .a place for her that is shared by no one else. One of Helene Costello's accomplishments is the ability to dance with an airy abandon which would doubtless cause Emerson's ghost to re- peat what Emerson himself said when he saw Lole Fuller dance half a cen- tury ago. “That is almost religion,” said a friend, to which the great New Englander replied, “It is religion.” Helene Costello was born in New York City and educated at home by private tutors and later at Ladycliffe- on-Hudson. It was with Dolores that she made her first success, dancing in George White's “Scandals.” The sisters afterward toured the country. The Warner Bros.’ contract which followed included both Dolores and Helene, For Warner Bros., Helene Costello has appeared in “The Honeymoon Ex- press,” “Don Juan,” “Millionaires,” “The Heart of Maryland,” “The Fortune Hunter” and “Husbands for Rent,” in which she plays with charming whims!i- ceil flirt who set the wheel of forte whirling, Molly Devoe, An interesting incident about the making of “Husbands for Rent” is the fact that Miss Costello was on her honeymoon when a wire came calling her back to the Hollywood studios of Warner Bros. to begin immediate work on “Husbands for Rent.” Miss Costello married Jack Y. Regan, wealthy young business man of New York and Wash- ington. WHAT A BIRD THIS ONE IS Preparations are going forward quickly for the filming of “The Canary Murder Case,” the best-selling mystery novel by 8S. S. Van Dine, which Is to be made into a picture as the first starring vehicle for William Powell. That erstwhile villian of the screen will play the detective, Philo Vance. Other members of the company 6¢e- lected are Louise Brooks, who will be the “Canary;” Ruth Taylor, who will be the chorus girl pal of the murdered “Canary,” and James Hall, juvenile lead. Malcolm 8t. Clair will direct. Florence Ryerson, who is adapting the story for the screen, has just re- turned to Hollywood from a visit to New York during which she conferred with the author. A NEW STAR CHRISTENED The passengers on the United States liner George Washington, in port last week from Cherbourg, christened a new American movie star, giving Eva Von Berne the name she will use in her Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pictures. The person who won the distinction of sub- mitting the best name for the incom- ing actress was Mrs. Carlton Balley Hurst, wife of the American consul general at Berlin. The new M-G-M player has never been on stage or screen before. She was discovered by Norma Shearer, who noticed the Viennese girl’s picture in the society column of an Austrian mag- azine. This occurred during Miss Shearer’s recent honeymoon trip abroad with Irving Thalberg, the young pro- ducer. Thalberg, on his wife's recommenda- tion, sent for the girl and made a screen test. And that’s why Eva is here. NOW SAFE TO STAMP ON IT Years of experiment and study in screen make-up will be thrown aside by Lon Chaney when, in his next pic- ture, he will abandon all former forms of disguise to appear in entirely new forms of facial deception. Chaney will in “West of Zanzibar,” at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, work for the first time under the new incandescent lights and because of the difference between these and the older studio arcs will change the whole pro- cedure of make-up. All hfs former ex- periments and study were based on light from the older type of illumina- tion. The star recently lectured before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on make-up under the old and new lights. Chaney has made an ex- tensive study of the newer forms, and says that practically all the time-hoh- ored older principles must be aban- doned under the hotter lights, which have far more searching powers.

From “Way Down East” and “Tol’able David” down through “The Patent Leather Kid” and “Wheel of Chance,” he has participated in fro- mantic stories that have thrilled mill- ions. In “Out of the Ruins,” his next star- ring vehicle, he has a love story that will eclipse anything he has ever done in this line. Pretty Marian Nixon plays opposite Barthelmess as the sweet and charm- ing French girl of the story. Their romance is one of great beauty and sacrifice, and the pair make appealing screen lovers. “Out of the Ruins” is a story of France after the war, from the pen of | the celebrated British war correspond- | ent and author, Sir Philip Gibbs. Heading the cast, in support of the star, are Bodil Rosing, Eugene Paliette, Robert Frazer and Rose Dione. Scenes are now being made in typl- cal French atmosphere, an entire Paris city block having been constructed by technicians at the Burbank studios, with complete dwellings, cafes and business establishments. Sliohtly Altered. Simultaneous announcements §§ are made that the adaptation of the Broadway stage hit, “Her Cardboard Lover,” will.be known merely as “Card- board Lover,” and that Marion Da- vies, the star of this picture, will leave the coast for New York in about two weeks and may possibly take a trip abroad. Robert Z. Leonard is now putting the final touches on “Card- board Lover.” DIRECTOR IS WORRIED AND SHORT LIVED The life of a director in motion pic- tures is as short as the life of a star. Why? Sam Wood, who is one of the old guard of directors, having handled the megaphone on Wally Reid’s famous racing stories, has a good idea of the reason. Wood has just completed the direc- tion of “Telling the World,” now play- ing at Loew's Palace. “It’s a short- lived job,” he said. “I’ve a director friend whose hair turns white during the making of every picture—and then turns black again when he gets a chance to rest. “The nervous strain of directing a big production is tremendous, Take “Telling the World,” for example. We'd get started at 8 in the morning and work until 7 or 8 at night. After that I'd have to see the ‘rushes’ (footage filmed the day before) and then lay out the schedule of scenes to be shot the next day. I never finished work until 10 or 11 p. m. And then had to get up at 6 and start over again. “If you haven't tempermental stars to contend with, you have extra people. In this picture Anita Page, who plays the feminine lead, was appearing in he: first picture. She was absolutely green and, although she caught on with marvelous rapidity, it was still a strain, “Then the Chinese sequence, which ls one of the most thrilling in the pic- ture. Handling foreign -xtras is always a tough job for the directors. Talking to them through interpreters is never satisfactory and you usually end by showing them in pantomime. “For one sequence we had over a thousand Orientals in the square of a walled Chinese town. They were sup- posed to be witnessing the execution of Anita Page, when the airplanes of the U. S. Marine Corps swoop down on them. The idea was that they were to drop flat on the ground at the first plane and then jump up and run from the later ones. “The trouble was that the Orientals got too scared to run. They weren't going to take any chances with those planes close to the back of their necks. I nearly had nervous prostration before t’ » scene was successfully filmed. “You have worries like this in every picture. The life of a star, the aver- age, that is, is five years. I don’t be- lieve a director is good for much longer. We get tired, you see, :nd then quit— or else lose our grip and become grad- ually incompetent. LO THE POOR FOX TROTTER All Indian dances are not done with snakes, tomtoms and campfires. Some of them are quite modern. After Fred Thomson and his com- pany had been at work among the Navajos and Hopis in northern Arizona | for about three weeks filming scenes for “Kit Carson,” they received an in- vitation to an Smdian dance at the Tuba City Government School. Most of the members of the unit began looking forward to a spectacular Indian ceremony of some kind under the trees. When they arrived they found the young squaws attired in the latest flapper modes. Snappy jazz music and snappy jazz steps were in vogue the entire evening. A pleasant time was had by all!

He, went out to the First National studio in Burbank where Will Rogers was making “A Texas Steer,” the major screen offering at the Metropolitan this week. Although he and Will had not seen each other in fifteen years, Rogers’ greeting was: “I told you I’d get rid of my horse first, didn’t 1?” For Bert was wearing a neat Vandyke beard. Then while Richard Wallace, the director of “A Texas Steer,” was giving instructions to the electricians for the lighting of the next scene, Will and Bert gave an impromptu performance and kept the members of the company roaring with laughter. BRITISH ARE DOMINANT IN SYD’S FARCE Folks who like to make comparisons will have plenty of opportunity in “Skirts,” the screamingly funny pic- ture produced in England and released in America by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which is now playing at Loew’s Colum- bia, First, they may-compare the cast, composed as it is largely of English actors and actresses, with the wholly American film. This uproarious comedy stars Syd Chaplin, who, of course, America claims, but his support is en- tirely recruited from the British stage and screen. In America we have screen actors and stage actors, with a well defined division between the two. The demarcation is not so sharply drawn in England, where most of the players spend a part of each vear behind the footlights and another definite period under the kleigs. Then they may compare the English and American night clubs. “Skirts” shows a splendid reproduction of a very famous after-hours resort. The sort of entertainment provided across the At- lantic in these clubs 1s also revealed in the gorgeous scenes peopled by the most beautiful of English dancers and show irls. . Next, there is the matter of clothes. Here “Skirts” affords every opportunity t> view the sort of modernistic garb af- fected in London society and in the gay night life circles of the largest city in the world. Again there is screen photography. The new comedy has some wonderful and unique shots. One, in particular, brings gasps of amazement and praises for its wonderful beauty. This is the photographic shot of a champagne glass held in a hand, revealing reflec- tions of a table with a party of guests. The view serves to introduce one of the most gorgeous scenes ever*screened, Critics are a unit in declaring that the English stage folk lose nothing by the comparisons, and that in other respects the film lives up to the Eng- lish reputation for doing things well.

15, 1928. Footlights and Shadows By JOHN J. DALY ITH the organization of the Augustine Daly Stock Company in New York, the first impetus was given to the American theater, as it is known today; that is, the theater distinctly apart from foreign influence, including even the English theater, the natura! mother. Up to the beginning of the late 70’s, with a few possible exceptions, there were no playwrights in America. Before that time, American theatergoers depended almost entirely upon Importation of plays, Then came Bronson Howard to write drama distinctly of American life and manners, Augustus Thomas and Clyde Fitch “ollowed in his foot- steps. Edwin Sheldon then came along. These craftsmen were en- couraged by the international copyright law that went into effect in 1391. It was part of the theatrical business to foster fcreign play- wrights; no royalties were demanded, When the copyright law pro- tected all interests, the American playwright had a new field of oppor- tunity before him. Then the theater in America left behind Shakes- peare as the outstanding attraction, partly because of the new interest in the native productions and partly because of the passing of such sterling character actors as Booth and Barrett and McCullough and all the rest of the great tragedians. The new theater in evidence today is as far removed from the Shakespearean mode and manner as Shakes- peure himself is from this time and age. . ad * “ * ROM those olden, golden days of the American theater to the F season at hand is a long, long jump. pened in thewinterim; many changes have taken place. yet to come. In a little while a new batch of plays «Broadway. Then, we shall see what we shall see, The season that has just gone into the discard was a notable one In some ways, disappointing in others, Judged from the number of plays produced, it stood head and shoulders over most of its prede- cessors. While no actual count was made, nor could be, close to 500 hew productions enjoyed at least the privilege of ‘“‘tryout.” Of these, about 275, in round numbers, hit Broadway. Imagine the money that was spent in theatrical production last year. Musical comedies demand anywhere from $50,000 to $250,000 before the curtain goes up on the premiere. The average play, conventional Many things have hap- More are will besiege ~ cast of six or eight persons, and one set, does away with a bank roll of $25,000 before getting started; either on the road to ruin, or success, There was so much -money lost in production during the season just ended that theatrical managers and their advisers have called a halt. They mean, in the coming year, to look before they leap—but how? Well, for one thing, according to good authority, there will be less of this ‘‘follow the leader.”” When a play has made a success, hitherto, forthwith there sprung up a dozen prototypes. No more of that; or, at least, a little less of that—and more originality. ° 7 *. “ zs: there is one place the American theater excels, it is this: in the realm of originality. Give us something different!’’ This has been the prayer of the American people since the days of Bronson Howard. And the prayer has been answered. The drama of America may have been hodge-podge; it may have been, at times, cheap and shoddy—and it may have been open to criticism on a score of points; but no one could gainsay its originality. It was that with a vengence, if nothing else. I out over the footlights and run pell-mel] into the audience—and the audience Jiked it. Now, according to one who comes from a series of rehearsals in New York, there is liable to be a new flurry in the American the- ater. Presumably, this means that anything might happen; that the new playwrights, in seeking for novelty, have found the sensation that Americans have been waiting and watching for these many days. The first thrill over, no one is shocked now at mild disturbances that “Give us something new. *. “ ° - N the past year, in America, under high heaven broken. students of drama saw every rule They saw plays spill FAMOUS PLAY REVIVED BY THE PLAYERS Beginning tomorrow night, July 16, the National Theater Players will pre- sent for the week one of the most pop- ular American comedies, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” The world-famous Mrs. Wiggs first appeared on the American scene be- tween book covers. Alice Hegan Rice, more than a quarter of a century ago, wrote her first novel, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” It went like wild- fire through the country, selling more than a million copies. Thus one of the best sellers called for a sequel, and this was forthcoming from the same pen, a novel called “Lovey Mary.” Anne Crawford Flexner saw the possibilities of a play in these two works. She com- bined the two and in dramatic form they were first presented away back in 1903 on the stage at Macauley’s The- ater, in Louisville, Ky. After all this time “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch”’ is still going strong. It has stood the test of time because in its framework are contained all the vital elements of great comedy—the blending of laughter and tears. Mrs. Wiggs herself is a unique philos- opher. Surrounded by her strange lit- tle braod of children—Europena, Aus- try, Asia—and by as goodly a gathering of neighborhood talent as ever graced the stage, from Lovey Mary to Mr. Hun- kerdunkus Jones, she stands as one of the happiest character creations of the years. In the central and pivotal role, Mrs. Addie Hibbard, one of the most popu- lar of the National Theater Players, has a part eminently fitted to her peculiar style of acting. In the course of her career in Washington—she has played here four summers in succession—Mrs. Hibbard has run the gamut of emo- tional roles, from lowly landladies to consorts of the great and grand: but no role appeals to her more than this, the lovable Mrs. Wiggs, who found romance in a lowly garden on the outskirts of Louisville, Ky. Le Paradis Roof. Washington’s smart people are going up—on the Le Paradis roof. No mat- ter what tricks the weather plays this charming roof garden is always ideally cool and comforting. The Le Paradis Band, under the di- rection of Bert Bernath, is producing some of the finest dance music of its career. While always the recognized sum- mer rendezvous for Capital society the Le Paradis roof garden is more popular than ever this season. Under the ex- pert management of Robert Kehl, known better as just Robert, it is a pattern of excellence in fine appoint- ments and cuisine. A high light of the mid-week at Le Paradis is “Theatrical Night,” the regular Thursday fiesta event. Young and Old. Since there are so many odd and ec- centric characters in “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” the play at the Na- tional this week, every member of the National Theater Players gets a chance to distinguish himself or herself, the line-up running from youth to old age—from Lovey Mary to Old Man Stubbins, with Mrs. Wiggs, played by Mrs. Addie Hibbard as the point around which centers the action. \ “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” | —National.

QUARTETTE OFFERS AN INNOV ATION One of the most interesting of American musical organizations is at the same time one of the newest, for the Revelers, the brilliant male quar- tet and the equally brilliant planist who accompanies them, are quite un- like the usual group of four singers. Rather they are comparable to a fine quartet, and they apply their art to every sort of music, from the classics to modern jazz. The singers are James Melton, Lewis James, Elliott Shaw and Wilfred Glenn. Frank Black is the pianist. One critic has styled them as the greatest of all present-day singing organizations, and Heinrich Schlusnus, the German bary- tone, referred to them as “the vocal counterpart of the Flonzaleys.” Their history is short but spectacu- lar. They decided to break away from the quartet manner and to sing or- chestrally. They made good to such an extent that they are today the high- est paid racio entertainers appearing regularly on the programs, and their records sold to the number of 1,000,- 000 in 1926. They have been sponsored by royalty and received by great audl- ences in England. Although they are able to fill only a few of the engagements offered them, they will appear in Washington on Monday afternoon, February 11, at Poli’s, under the auspices of Mrs. Wil- son-Greene. They will present “Amer- icana,” a program which traces the de- velopment of American popular airs down to the minute. Mr. Black has compiled a number of novelties, in- cluding cowboy songs, sea chanties, spirituals and such. Chevy Chase Lake.

MRS. ADDIE HIBBARD TO PLAY | THE FAMOUS “MRS. WIGGS” HEN the National Theater Play- ers revive the celebrated com- | edy, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab- bage Patch,” tomorrow night in the National .Theater, Mrs. Addie Hibbard, one of the most popular character women who ever played in Washington, will be seen in the title role. For three seasons Mrs. Hibbard has been what some term a “mainstay” with the National Theater Players. Week after week, summer after sum- mer, she has gone through her paces, and—marvels of marvels—she has never failed to register some sort of hit, no matter how minor the part. Known in theatrical circles as the perfect study, which means that she never misses a line, Mrs. Hibbard in her career on the stage has had a remarkable record. She came to the stage, to begin with, at a time of life when most actresses are beginning to think of retirement. The widow of a popular Mayor of Boston, Mrs. Hib- bard decided to take up stage work as a means of livelihood; to support her children, to see to it that they might be reared in all the luxury that had always been their lot. From a social the stage and all its people and, too, those who come to the theater. They are our inspiration.’ Coming Attractions When the great mystery play, “The Bat,” took hold in New York and ran to capacity houses night after night, some wiseacre of the theater forecast that, sooner or later, a satirical com- edy, treating the same type of subject matter as “The Bat,” but with a dise tinct comedy twist, would be produced, It was, and the National Theater Play- ers are bringing it to their laboratory next week, beginning Monday, July 23. This play is called “The Nightcap.” It was written by Guy Bolton and Max Marcin tuy Bolton has been a figure in the American theater now for many years. He is the author of “Sally,” “Adam and Eva.” “The Cave Girl,” and a host of other comedies. Max Marcin, known first as a play doctor, has contributed several outstanding successes to the stage, one of them being “Three Live Ghosts,” played here last year by the National Theater Players. Between them, these two authors turned out a magnificent job in “The leader, she became overnight a student Nightcap,” a skillful blending of and aspirant for stage honors. And | thrills, heart stuff and irresistibly she startled the theatrical world in|funny comedy. It jumped into imme- diate popularity with the Broadway theatergoers and ran for months in New York, first at Thirty-ninth Street Theater and:then at the Bijou. All the energy of the National The- ater Players is being expended toward making next week’s production as near like the Broadway presentation as pos- the old Bay State by making good on her first public appearance. After having thoroughly adapted her- self to her new environs, the stage and its life, before and behind the foot- lights, Mrs. Hibbard went with the Alfred Cross Players. in New Britain, Conn., to work there with Julie Herne, is | the play at the National this| the country.

oo i heetiiceienatinetitaeatine ata A LL EE ee a ett C— MOTO a —-_—_----— ee ee ee Auto Electric System Marvel of Efficiency Generator Performs Huge Task in Supplying Current for Lights and Starter—Owner Should Study Wiring to Save Car. There is one feature of the modern @utomobile. a marvel of durability and efficiency in spite of its delicacy, that mever seems to get consideration when palms are being handed out to the factors that contribute to performance. The unit in question is the electrical 6ystem which always has been more or less of a mystery to the average motorist and which, unlike most mys- teries, every one seems willing to allow to remain unsolved. In some ways, it is not surprising that many motorists have lost interest in tis:2 yita] feature of their motor cars after taking a look at the complicated wiring diagram illustrated in the in- struction books that accompany their cass. Engineers agree that not all charts are elemental pictures. That one illustrating the wires, fuses, coils, motors, generators, switches, grounds and the like, of the motor car electrical system is such a chart—at lgast at first glance, which is all man yg, owners are willing to give to it. If, however, the average car owner is not interested in the ignition system from a technical point of view, its prac- tical side should appeal to him when considered in the light of the volume of important work it is called upon to do. Another factor that should help stimulate his interest is that whereas minor flaws in the adjustment of other features of the car make little dif- ference, hundredths and thousandths of an inch on the ignition side comprise the margin between stopping and going. Electrical systems are better, marked- ly better, than they ever have been. They have to. be. One of the reasons that they must be better is that there are ten different types of lights for which they must supply current. Not all cars, of course, have the ten types, but many of them do. .The average automobile, however, does have two headlights, two cowl lights, a tail light, stopping, parking, and backing light, dash light—and, if it is a closed car, a dome or reading light. In addition, some of the swankier models have step lights and spot lights. Beyond supplying current for these various illuminating devices the elec- trical system is the source of power for a number of newer appurtenances of the average automobile. There is the cigar lighter, for one. In some cases the fuel pump is electrically operated. Many makes of cars use an electric fuel gauge. The popularity of the distinctive horn which requires more current for its operation than the ordinary warn- ing device, is another source of drain upon the electrical system. Electric fans are not uncommon in closed cars. Electrically operated windshield wipers are widely sed. Producing current for all of these devices, or even half of them, geems like quite a task for the little dynamo or generator th nestles in- conspicuously but importantly along- side the engine. But this is not even half the total work the electrical sys- tem is called upon te do. There’s the starter motor to operate—the biggest duty of them all considered in the light of the current i* consumes. supplied with current the way is paved for the continuing task of supplying current for the ignition, a harder task in this day of increasing compression and higher engine speed. As an illus- tration, in one six-cylinder car, 2,160 sparks of high tension current per sec- ond are supplied when the engine is running at top speed. That is at a rate of 1,296,000 every hour. And the speed of the engine in question is by no means the highest among stock cars. The 129,600 sparks per hour represent more than pure quantity production. Each of the sparks must be on schedule as it comes fro: the production line, the terminus of which is the plug elec- trode. It + interesting in this connection to note that high compression engines which have won the hearts of the new car buyer coulc not have been pos- sible without corresponding improve- ment in the ignition system. Electric- ity is proverbially lazy. If there is a way to dodge work electricity can find it. Higher compression means harder work for the spark. Making it Jump the spark plug gap, which averages about .025 of an inch, was not so hard in the old days when compression pres- su ' was down. It Is diffirent now. Of course, a current can be made to jump almost any sized gap against al- most any pressure. But not in an auto- mobile. The current that makes a recoru-breaking jump must be of very high tension, and the higher the ten- sion the more unruly and desirous of escaping work it becomes. In other words, the higher the tension, the more insulation is required to keep the cur- rent from hiding out on the work it is supposed to do. This imposed a prac- tical limit upor the automotive engi- neer in that he had to make “he tension high enough to work against the higher combustion chamber pressure without making it so high that it would not work at all. The engineer deserves acclaim for his success, and his crea- tion—the electrical system—ddserves the sympathetic understanding of those into whose hands it falls. Obviously, the more and more diffi- cult work the electrical system has to ad~ the better attention and care it needs from beginning to end, in other words, from battery to spark plug elec- trode. In connection with this the mo- torist would do well to remember that while winter has a reputation for work- ing havoc upon the electrical units of the car, summer also has its particular number and variety of troubles to leave on the doorstep of the unsuspecting and disinterested. With regard to the care he must give to this feature of his automobile, the average car owner is pretty well ine f .med. Its various steps need no repe- | considerable self or inexpensive to have done by the service station. That they are not done to the indifference of the car owners and his failure to recognize the tre- mendous amount of important work | that the electrical system does. | That the electrical system performs | such indifferent treatment is a mar- velous tribute to its durable efficiency. But it will do much more and better work if it ceases to be so much of a mystery. the great volume of work it does under After the starter motor has. been (Copyright. 1928.) France Still - Abandoned Uses U. S. War Trucks American Army trucks which saw service in France during the World War have traveled a long way since the sign- ing of the armistice ten years ago. Al- nost one-half of the 32.500 trucks left behind by the A. E. F. are still in oper- ation, despite the time that has passed since their use under wartime condl- tions. These trucks are being kept in repair by French dealers in automobile parts who at the close of the war bought tip entire spare-parts depots in anticipa- tion of the future need for them. Be- sides the trucks and ambulances left in France, the Army abandoned more than 7,500 passenger cars. These, how- ever, have virtually all disappeared from the streets. Virtually all the Army’s automotive equipment was taken over by the French government at the close of the war. It was later sold, generally at auction. Most of the automobiles and trucks at the time they were sold had been stand- ing in fields over the winter and were badly in need of repair as a conse- _ quence. Many were virtually useless and some were sold as junk. When the spare parts were offered for sale by the government one com- iy bought most of the large depots and is now the largest source of supply for these parts in France. It has estab- lished sixteen agencies in France and two in England, and it meets competi- tion only from a few small establish- ments. The .spare parts, because of thelr careful packing, today are virtually in as good condition as when they were shipped from factories in 1918. In one group which had been exposed to the weather from 1918 to 1924, before be- ing stored in warehouses, the parts were as good as new when opened, and after being given a coat of oll were ready for delivery to customers. Nearly all repair parts needed are supplied from original stocks, only a few minor items being manufactured in France. In many instances, complete trucks have been mounted from the spare parts. Estimates place the number of parts cn hand as sufficient to keep the A. E. F. trucks running until 1935, or until they fall apart from old age. The trucks are used in a variety of un- dertakings, the ambulances having been converted mostly into light delivery cars while the heavier trucks are used for street and road repair work and other duties. | The Old Mechanic Says: GBervicin’ and repairin’ automobiles would be a lot easier if there weren't so many extremists among car owners. And, the way some of them go from ’ one extreme to another! You wouldn't believe it. Styles in extremes exist. One time, it will be this, another time, that. Right now, the prevailin’ style in ex- tremes is silence. The new car is quiet. One Of its strongest points from the buyer’s angle is its silence. Because he likes this feature and wants to keep it throughout the life of the car, the average owner gives his car better attention than formerly. That’s fine, 42 i% Yam't carried too far. In the case at terves, I’m afraid I'll have to say it, is overdone. The average new car owner’s almost oueer on the subject of valves. If they tapped, knocked, groaned or otherwise became noisy in his old car, he’d not only put “up with it, but would console himself with the idea it meant more power—which it did up to a certain point. Now, the slightest sound from the valve mechanism sends him around to the service station. When you try to tell him that there is a limit of clése- ness, he won’t believe it. If you have to go beyond this limit to eliminate the last faint sign of noise, he’s in favor of goin’. It makes no difference tovhim that it means burnin’ and foulin’ of the valves, carbon, loss of power, foulin’ of the spark plugs and @ lot less gasoline mileage. Silence is what he wants. He’s goin’ to allow nothin’ to stand in the way of his gettin’ it. I doubt, though, that the elimination of a noise you have to listen close to hear is worth the price he pays.

Driving into the rising or setting sun, many motorists are forced to lean out the side of the car to see ahead of them. The dirt on the windshield, reflecting and deflecting the sun’s rays, makes any other procedure impossible. The way out of the difficulty is simple. A soft cloth carried in the car will assure a dust-free windshield in a minute. It is a -gesture that means safety. | TIDE TABLE FOR MOTORIST-FISHERMEN — VARIATIONS FROM JULY 15 TO JULY 22. st Fey Mon. iol Wea: Thurs.

If the vision of that operator is defective, the automobile, no matter how well constructed, booked for trouble. “For this reason, the American Optometric Association is advocating a vision test as part of the examination of prospective motor vehicle operators. Such a test is only fair to those whose vision justifies them in operating a motor vehicle and who are led to be- lieve that they are protected by having the vision of other operators made equal to their own. Many drivers to- day have imperfect vision and do not realize it. Their eyesight may be just the least bit off, and yet that fraction of imperfection may make them mis- judge, by a foot or two, the direction of an approaching automobile or pe- destrian and thus result in an acci- dent. “Several of the States already have adopted the eyesight test for prospec- tive drivers. This test is highly com- mended by traffic directors of the States where it is in effect. In the interest of safety, the American Op- tometric Association is urging similar tests in all States and its members are volunteering their services free of charge in putting such tests into ef- fect.

In connection with this feature it ls pointed out that at top speed each cylinder is supplied with 360 spark flashes per minute, which leads the recollection that ignition once was on of tie Imiting factors in connection with engine speed Now, with racing car engines turning at 8,000 revolutions per min- ute the ignition must supply 32,000 sparks per minute. And, if two plugs per cylinder are used, as they nearly always are, the figure soars to 64,000. Reducing it to figures, the ignition’s performance looks larged indeed. It is, in spite of the motorist’s comparative indifference to the subject. * ~ ° > In many quarters there’s a growing conviction that the old phrase, “Trend toward standardization,” is about to pass out of the motor-car field. As it goes, individuality comes. There are many evidences of this fact in the leb- oratories if not yet on the streets and highways.

The biggest of Brit- ain’s quantity producers has just an- nounced a midget car with a seven- horsepower engine. Right afterward, his chief competitor announced one of nine horsepower. Why?

The “free air’ cushion feature of the device soon to be placed upon the market establishes it in an unique position. The principle of Con- tinental’s absorber is hydraulic, of course. * ¢ ¢ *# The Bendix drive, now universally employed on all motor vehicles, made its initial appearance in 1913 and was first formally displayed at the New York show in 1914.

Unless memory and a recent survey both are incorrect, no stock American passenger car today is equipped with right-hand drive, the system prevall- ing in quite a good many European countries. Up until relatively recently, there were a few domestic makers who remained firm in their allegiance to the right-hand drive system. Now, how- ever, the decks are cleared. Even the Rolls-Royce, that is, the American Rolls-Royce, has the conventional left- hand drive, and has had it for some time. “Backing light” is an item appear- ing with increasing frequency in the specification lists of today’s motor Cars. Its use is quite obvious from its name, and its utility is as apparent as both. Stutz, Packard, Kissel, Stearns, Pierce- Arrow, Oaklarid, Graham-Paige, Loco- mobile and Marmon are some of the makers equipping their cars with this handy device. In some instances the unit is found in “combination tail light, backing light and stop light.” Now that the Bureau of Standards and the Society of Automotive Engin- eers have fixed it up so that al! license plates soon will fit on all cars without the hammering and sawing which 580 frequently was necessary, would it be well for the States and the manufactur- ers to agree on plates which are in keeping with today’s handsome auto- mobiles? Some of the former do more than a little to detract from the ap- pearance of the motor cars they label. It surely ought to be possible to make piates clearly legible and at the same time maké them conform to some kind of mechanical beauty. (Copyright, 1928.) OILING OPERATIONS Oiling has been completed on 1.4 miles of road from Waldorf toward Bryantown and on the Hughesville- Benedict road. The Bryantown-Charlotte road is be- ing oiled. Application of oil to the Annapolis boulevard has been completed between Glenburnie and Baltimore. The road between St. Marys City and Great Mills is being oiled. Castor Oil Is Rated Superior Lubricant The “oliliness” of an oll is something that the average motorist does not con- sider very often. In this respect, it is interesting to note that authorities rate castor oil as superior to mineral lubricants. Of course, it is too “oily” for many purposes, but it is worthy of attention that several motor car manufacturers do specify its use on the joints of the windshield wiper. Take Your Vacation in One of Our Late Model Chevrolets and Fords—Fairly Recor ditioned. Many With New Tires. R. L. Taylor Motor Co. 14th and T N.W. TIRE EXPENDITURES DECREASING RAPIDLY $82, Spent Annually in 1919, Dropped to $40 During Last Year. Tire expenditures by decreasing constantly Lates* figures show that the money the average motor car owner spends for tires in a year now is considerably less than half what he spent eight years ago. The average annual expenditure for tirés was $682 in 1919, whereas in 1927 this figure had dropped to 840. It is expected that with the recent lower- ing of tire prices the cost for 1928 will be several dollars less than it was last year. There are several reasons why tire expenses are becoming a smaller item in the motoring budget. ‘Tires are un- deniably better than ever before. There have been definite improvements in the construction of automobiles them- selves, which tends.to lengthen .the life of tires. Cars are less bulky and brakes are better equalized. Another important factor is that more drivers today are careful to maintain proper air pressure, while many make a prac- tice of shifting tires from one wheel to another to equalize the wear. Tire Gauge Needed . By Every Autoist According to many close observers, motorists are entirely too dependent upon their favorite filling station in the matter of tire gauges. When they go to have the tires inflated the station’s gauge is in use, misplaced or otherwise rot available. The result is considerable guesswork on the amount of pressure put into the tires. A personal gauge is worth while, but only, of ceurse, if it is used regularly. Bad Timing Cause Of Engine Noises Somehow or other, many motorists go on missing the point that timing roises often are neither in the chain nor gear. For instance, there is a noise that sounds as if the propeiler shaft were extremely loose that is to be as- ctibed to wrong time in many cases. Retiming the engine correctly, making it run evenly again, «lminates the trou- ble. Many think the trouble is worn universals and rather than undertake replacement go on putting up with a condition that is remedied easily.

A remodeled traffic code and several im- provements in the city’s regulations and methods of control are recom- ,mended in the report of the mayor’s Street traffic advisory board prepared by Dr. Miller McClintock, director of the Albert Russell Erskine bureau, Harvard University. Since Boston’s traffic problem viewed as a difficult one, measures are proposed in the report. Parking restrictions, one-way and regulations regarding che extreme move- ment of commercial vehicles would be carried much further than in the ma- jority of cities. It is proposed to give greater atten- tion to pedestrians. Uniformity of signs and signals through the adoption of the standard of the Department of Com- merce also is recommended. Stop and go signals with progressive timing are proposed. The recommendations call for off-the-street facilities for parking of vehicles and for the loading and un- loading of merchandise. Additional Lights Burden on Battery > In the matter of lilumination, the everage closed car has headlights, tail lights, stop and backing lights, instru- ment board light and a dome light. In addition, a majority have cowl lights and quite a few have step lights. Nur- ther than this, in the way of electrical equipment, fuel pumps run by the current of the generator are becoming more common. Always, of course, there is the starter. These are some of the reasons why it Is more important than ever that the battery be kept in perfect condition, There is one yoint the home repatrer should remember regarding adjust- ments of the differential gears, and that is that the work calls for the utmost precision.

Behind it are a number of factors, chief among which are sounder and more energetic merchandising on the part of the dealer and a better appre- clation of used car values on the part of the public. In connection with these two factors, there has been an interest- ing thought current in the automotive field’s upper reaches, particularly, namely, that the public did not realize the opportunity offered by the used car market largely because the dealer did not know jt himself. As reflecting this fact. it was pointed out that used car displays had a shoddy appearance that was far from the stan- dard that might catch the attention of a prospective buyer. Thé cars so ex- hibited, according to those advocating more vigorous merchandising, were dirty, rusted, covered with grease, noisy, spotted as to upholstery, and by no means free from dents in body and fenders. Many dealers to whose attention this evidence was .called have turned over a new leaf. They have seen the wisdom of teaching the public not to be in- different to their bargains by not being indifferent to them themselves. It is helping the used car situation in a host of important instances. Both dealer and consumer now realize that there is a lot of value in the used car that could not be seen for the dirt, dust and grease that covered it. Individuality Is Coming “We are going to hazard the guess that 1928 will be marked as the year in which the automobile industry broke the bonds of tradition from an en- gineering standpoint to a greater -x- tent than at any time in five years.” Thus comments one of the closest en- gineering observers of the motor car field, a prophet whose prophecies have proved remarkably accurate. In his statement, there is much food for thought. There always has existed the thought among car makers that to be different was dangerous. On several occasions within the past year and a half, this idea has been disproved. Its passing, completely, will open labora- tory doors to many developments that never have walked in the sunlight, Hard Not to Laugh Even though it is unjust, perhaps, motorists nearly always laugh when the joke is on the motorcycle cop. Such was the case in a recently observed in- cident. An officer had arrested a motorist for driving while drunk. His captive’s companion had no operator’s permit. The officer, deciding that neither occupant of the car was fit to drive, decided to chauffeur them to the station house himself. On the way there, he collided with another car and himself was arrested on a charge of reckless driving. In ad- dition, he was suspended from the force. What an opportunity for an Aesop!

BUYERS’ QUESTIONS. OHUW INTELLIGENT CURIOSITY IN AUTO Efficiency of Motor and ‘Why’ of Performance Chief Points of Interest. DEALER FINDS PROSPECTS CONCERNED WITH DETAILS Body Construction Interests Owners, Cadillac Dealer Declares. While they have not reached the point where they stump the salesmen with such questions as what effect the hot spot has upon the volumetric effi- ciency of the engine or what advantage is lost or gained by nonuse of an in-' tercooler, car buyers of 1928 want to know more about the automobile than whether it looks snappy and whether it will climb Tilden street hill in high gear. Admitting that the car undoubt- edly must look well and must be able to climb Tilden street hill with ease, Rudolph Jose, president of the Wash- ington-Cadillac Co., declares that for genuine and intelligent curiosity to- day’s car buyer is leagues ahead of his predecessor of any period. Beyond “what” a car will do, today’s prospect wants to know the “why” of performance, says Mr. Jose. Further than this, he is concerned with details of chassis afd body construction that not long ago might as well not have existed in so far as they were the ob- ject of buyer questions, he declares. Samples of Questions. As a sample of the questions which are being asked if not by the average car buyer by at least quite a few, Mr. Jose cites the following: Does the larger raciator surface and larger fan tend to overcool the engine in spite of the fact that higher com- pression ratios cause the motor to run hotter? What does four-point suspension of the engine give in the way of an ade Vantage over three-point suspension? Are high-speed sport cars equipped with wire wheels for any reason other than their effect upon ‘snappy .ppear- ance? How are the doors of a convertible coupe kept from becoming loose and noisy when they are of such heavy weight as compared with the open-car door and yet unsupported at the top? Just how does the accelerator well function? Queries Are Intelligent. “A host of other questions of a simi- lar intelligent nature,” might be cited,” says Mr. Jose. “And, these questions are intelligent. It is of concern to the car buyer, for instance, to know about engine cooling. There have been cases of overcooling in radiation experiments and the motorist is quite within reason when he looks at the big radiator area and wonders whether it might not re- sult in thermal inefficiency in the car he buys. “The question relating to four-point suspension also denotes an intelligent interest. It is a reversion to an old practice and has been brought about by the need for increased rigidity in the front of many cars “The question concerning wire wheels imdicates that che prospective car eee ee THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JULY —_> LE Oe F Sportsmanship on the Highway to be fair to the “other fellow.” spend so much of their time? himself. sportsmanship is established. a happier, safer highway it will be! nee By WILLIAM ULLMAN, Is motordom an exception to the universal law that the poor sports- man forfeits the honor and respect of his fellow men? If this ts true, is it due to the fact that there is no sportsmanship on the highway? Good sportsmanship is highly prized in America. Rightfully so. Any man or woman may be proud of a disposition to lean over backward But is this disposition, manifested in social and business relations, in tennis, bridge, golf, and other games, carried over to the streets and highways upon which so many millions Each man will have to answer this question for himself—and to In answering it, will he recall that he did or did not, say, stop on the hill to let his fellow motorist, struggling upward, pass when the latter’s side of the road was blocked?

If they prove the change to be practicable, it is estimated that more than $1,000,000 may be saved in postage through supplying the tags in lighter material, This possible economy was called to the attention of State highway com- missioners through the adoption of aluminum for that purpose by Brazil and Japan. The experiments are being watched also by automobile clubs who offer delivery service to their mem- bers. Aluminum, it is pointed out, weighs just one-third as much as steel, and the material is believed to be strong enough, since it already is used in automobile manufacture for crank cases, pistons and bodies. Aluminum also is rust proof and would permit leaving the back of the tags in a nat- ural state instead: of coating them with enamel. buyer is looking somewhat beyond pure appearance. As a matter of fact, the wire wheel on the high-speed sport car does have utility as well as beauty. It must absorb a great deal of torque, or twisting movement, and it does a good job. Therefore, the wire wheels. Construction of Door. “Curiosity as to the door construc- tion of the convertible also is signifi- cant of intelligent observation. The heavy construction requires different measures on the part of the body builder and the man who is thinking of buying such a car is fully justified in determining in advance that these measures have been taken. “When he notices ite effect upon flexibility and quick get-away, the prospect is asking an intelligent ques- tion which he expresses in a desire to know the manner in which the accel- erating well functions. “The trend toward finding out the ‘why’ of performance, comfort, appear- ance, and the like is definitely estab- lished. Jt is a wholesome one and is welcomed by the salesman whose task it is to answer the prospect’s ques- tions.” Nothing contributes more definitely to fatigue in parking than a steering mechanism that moves sluggishly from a lack of lubrication. GAS IN PERSIA COSTS 75 CENTS A GALLON Charge to Consumers De- pends on Consumption and Proximity to Source. Seventy cents for a gallon of gaso- line! This figure, the price of motor fuel in Persia, Guatemala and Colombia, indicates the wide difference in cost of gasoline throughout the world. The price in British South Africa is 64 cents, while in Bolivia it is 3 cents less, accordng to figures compiled by the Department of Commerce. In making comparison, it is pointed out, the various factors which tend to make inequalities in gasoline cost should be taken into consideration. These factors include distance from the source of supply, quantity consumed, transportation costs, import duties, excise taxes, distribution and market- ing costs, quality of the.products sold and many others. Auto Traffic Aids Country Merchant The country store is being forced by the automobile to spruce up, It js be- ing obliged to bring its shelves up to date or go out of business, according to a bulletin of the University of Illi- nois, Because of the wide use of the auto- mobile and motor truck, it is possible for the cross-roads store to get sup- plies for its customers more quickly, it is pointed out. On the other hand, the customer is able to go to large trading centers, and for that reason the gen- eral rural store can not hold its busi- ness unless it keeps abreast of the times. Australia Plans Factory for Autos Plans for production of its own au- tomobiles are rapidly nearing comple- tion in Australia, according to a report to the Department of Commerce. A site for a factory already has been selected near Sidney and its output is expected to be on the roads before the end of the year. The proposed assembly factory is ex¢ pected to employ 300 men, and the ac- tual manufacturing plant an additional 1500 men. At first weekly output is planned to be 50 cars. Australia’s first automobile will resemble the popular medium-priced American car of from 20 to 22 horsepower. re a ~ MOTOR CLUBS START CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANIBULANGE CHASER Organizations’ Legal Staff Placed at Disposal of Victims of Evil. VULTUROUS PRACTICE HELD NATIONAL BLIGHT Motorists Named to Be on the Alert in Drive to Extermi- nate Calling. Preying upon both the motor car owner involved in an accident and the person injured in such a mishap, the “ambulance chaser,” whose practices have become a national evil, is being attacked today on a Nation-wide front by the organized motorists of the coun- try, says a statement issued by the American Automobile Association. Char- acterizing the conduct of the “ambu- lance chaser” as vulturous, officials of the A. A. A. declare the motor club !s in the fight “until the last trace of the blight is removed.” As @ primary step in calling a halt to the illegitimate activities of the “am- bulance chaser” who derives his name from the despatch with which he ap-: pears on the accident scene, the na- tional motoring agency points out the alarming proportions of the evil in the current issue of its magazine, the American Motorist. In the ranks of the ambulance chaser, the article de- clares, are certain despicable members of the honorable professions of medi- cine and law, allied with unscrupulous hospital attendants, policemen and other hangers-on whose depravity of conscience permits them to prey upon the public in a dangerous way, says the | statement. Placing its facilities for legal service | at the disposal of the motorist who Is at a loss for the proper procedure in event he feels himself being victimized, the A. A. A. chain of 1,054 motor clubs intends to run down every instance of “ambulance chasing” called to its at- tention. Such a policy is essential to the complete extermination of the evil and its army of practitioners, motor of- fictals believe. “The service offered is not one of value to the notor car owner only,” says the statement, “but to the possible victim of the automobile accident. The latter is preyed upon by the ‘ambu- lance chaser’ just as avidly as the for- mer. Out of the unjust and unfairly obtained settle: ents received by the bureaus and companies affiliated with the general evil, the injured person shares disproportionately with the agent who makes the collection. “The credulous motorist involved in a mishap and the equally credulous victim of such an accident obviously are easy prey for the smooth-talking professional ambulance chaser who utilizes their upset emotions to get signatures to papers and documents tha: give him complete charge of the case. It is high time that the general public be informed of this evil and al | extent im order that a beginning may | be made toward exterminating it.” Punitive steps already are being | taken in many places as far as the| ambulance chaser is concerned, but | this course must be adopted on a wider scale before genuine headway 'from the ground fo in | Graham-Paige 1928. Ban on One-Arm 5 Pat in Town Ordinance One-arm driving. an outdoor form of an indoor pastime, is to be no more in Skidmore, Mo. A new city ordinance of the town is being accorded strict enforce- ment by the city fathers to break up the practice of attempting to do two things at once, particularly when they are somewhat conflict- ing. The ordinance reads: “A driver of a motor vehicle shall not place an arm about the person of another, but shall keep both hands free. Nor shall any person place an arm or arms around the person of the driver.” Wiis ; can be made, in the opinion of the American Automobile Assaciation. lt suggests, as fundamental in the fight, the need for mere rigorous city ordinances, strictei supervision of po- lice precincts, opposition from honor- able legal and medical societies, and exposure of the “bureaus” and “com- panies” that participate in accident claim collections. Further, it warns that the motorist and the accident vic- tim must be ever on the alert against the depredations of the smooth-talk- ing individual who arrives at the accli- dent scene immediately with an offer to represent the injured party. “Ambulance chasing,” the statement concludes, “is one of the most deadly blights that has grown up out of the street and highway accident situation. Its extermination is a duty to which honorable agencies anc individuals must turn their attention.” ‘urope Adopting Height for Bumpers Standardization of bumper heights is receiving European adoption, The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Trades, London, has announced that manufacturers in England have agreed to fall in line with the United States, France and Germany concerning bum- per dimensions Provisional starsiards of 20 inches front bumpers and rear bumpers have been in Great Britain’ since To coniorm to practice in uuntries mentioned, dimen- sions 2 inches less in both Instances have been adopted by leading British organazations.

LOUIS TWANG FORECAST IN ENGINE EFFICIENCY Address on Prospects Given by Expert at Meeting of Milwaukee Section. BETTER BALANCE SEEN The prediction that marked improve- ment in high-speed, high-efficiency en- gines will be accomplished during the next few years was given by Fred 8. Duesenberg in a recent address before the Milwaukee section of the Society of Automotive Engineers. He said: “They will have better balance, be longer lived, develop more power with greater efficiency, and be more satisfac- tory to the motoring public. The pres- ent trend is toward a large number of small changes in design and construc- tion rather than toward radical de- parturcs from former design and methods. “The combustion chamber Is the most important contributor to high ef- ficiency, he said. If the shape of the combustion chamber, the area and lo- cation of the valves, and the location of the spark-plugs are not right, all the other refinements of detail are of little value.” Stating that the intake manifold ts no doubt second in importance, Mr. Duesenberg said that this is particularly true with present fuels and becomes of even greater importance as the speed of the engine increases Apparently the manifold that gives top-speed perform- ance does not give best results at low speed, and the manifold for best economy does not give high-speed per- formance. Therefore, the best that can be accomplished is a compromise and, unless a manifold can be perfected s0 that double carburetion becomes pos- sible and practicable, he sees no means of obtaining correct mixtures at all speeds. Valve area does not seem to be an important factor at low speeds, but for high speeds it is the controlling factor unless a supercharger is used. In the latter case the pressure created by the supercharger can offset to some extent Traffic WHYS DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS. By periodical changes, either auto- matically or by manual control of an officer, the slectric traffic signal lights provide regular intervals for traffic to proceed ‘n cross directions. Under the regulations it is stipu- lated that a green light means “go,” an amber means “caution, clear the intersection,” while a red light means “stop.” The present plan of operation pro- vides for an amber light following both the red and the green When it follows ‘the green it is a signal for traffic to clear the intersection and prepare for the “go” signal for cross traffic. Fol- lowing the green, the amber means that within 5 seconds all traffic mov- ing straight ahead wili be stopped by a red light. Early this fall the Washington traf- fic light system of operation will be changed so as to have an amber light overlapping both red and green. There then will be no amber light showing alone. This is done to eliminate con- fusion, since now a lone amber light gives no indication of whether it is following a green or red signal. Under the changed system, when a green light has been showing it will continue to show with an amber light for 5 sec- onds before changing to red. At the end of the red interval, an amber light will come on and show the red for 5 seconds before turning to green. = the deficiency in valve area. The shape of the valve, its circumference and the surrounding contour of the head all play an important part. The valve-seat angle also is of con- siderable importance in connection with high speed. Comparing the 30-degree with the 45-degree angle seat, Mr. Duesenberg stated is possible to get con- siderably greater area and a _ better opening for the same amount of lift with the former.

INSTRUMENT DESCRIBED With so many varying road and car factors. entering into the problem of designing automobiles so that they will ride more smoothly. engineers are constantly endeavoring to find more accurate means of measuring the ride ing qualities of a car. They are Cafe rying their efforts beyond the point of discovering only the more perceptible | discomforts resulting from travel over bad roads. Numerous devices called acceleromeée- ters have been developed for the pure pose »f measuring and recording the jolts and vibrations to which a motor vehicle is subjected. The most recent of these is an electrical instrument dee veloped by R. W. Brown, in charge of the engineering laboratory of the Firee stone Tire and Rubber Co., who illuse trates and describes it in a recent humber of the S. A. E. Journal. Because of its relatively small size and the remote connection with the vibration counter through electric wires, this accelerometer can be mounted on any part of the vehicle, so that a record can be made of the vibrations at any place Thus the action of the tires, axles, springs, body and seats canbe studied separately. By using separate accelerometers 1l0<- cated in various positions the riding qualities of any individual portion of the vehicle can be segregated yet all records made at the same time and on the same piece of road, With such records the engineer can proceed to work out the characteristics needed for improvement of each part.

HOW By DR. W To the limit of space, questions per- tinent to hygiene and prevention of disease will be answered in this col- umn. Personal replies will be made to inquiries, under proper limitutions, when return stamped envelope is in- closed. Dr. Evans will not make diag- nosis or prescribe for individual dis- ease. THE PRINCIPAL FACTOR IN DECA? OF TEETH R. R. W. BUNTING is of the D opinion that bacillus acidophilus is the principal factor in deqay of teeth, although diet is an important contributing factor. He thinks labora- tories should be called on for cultures made from the mouth to determine the presence or absence of this bacillus, Maybe such examinations should be a function of the public health labora- tory. If examination for bacillus acid- ophilius proves of value in controlling decay of teeth, public health labora- tories may at least make the required cultures on the mouths of children in hospitals aud homes operated by the State. If the bacillus is found, Dr. Bunting would have the mouth freed from it or its growth restrained by the use of approved disinfectants. In studies of many hundred chil- dren, principally in Michigan institu- tions, Dr. Bunting found bacillus acidophilus in practically every case where decay was active. If ie found the bacillus present he was able to find decay proceeding actively at the time of operation in most cases. In other cases he kept the child under observation and decay was. observed Starting before very long. In his observation decay does not proceed evenly in the mouths of chil- dren. In the ‘irst place; its inaugural hinges on the accident of the estab- lishment of the bacillus acidophilus in the mouth. The invasion by this bacil- lus and its success in establishing a home there is something of an acci- dent. In the second place decay Spreads rapidly at times and slowly at- other times. Again, the bacillus is the principal cause of the variation. Dr. Bunting recognizes the impor- tance of diet. He has a group of chil- dren on a diet which contains the minimum amount of sugar. In this connection we' recall the ex- perience of a dren with diabetes. He has found that if a diabetic child be given a diet rich in fats and very poor in starches and ; pers, so far as diabetes is concerned, and incidentally, ysiclan who treats chil- |.

The dictator gave his report on the forthcoming campaign which is to be carried on for a 5,000 membership of Washington Moose. The local lodge, it is said, will receive the full support of the supreme body dur- ing the campaign. Dictator Zihlman announced that the different commit- tees will be chosen early so that work may commence with cooler weather. Chairman T. J. Lannahan gave an in- teresting report of the trustees and outlined a few of the things which the trustees and house committee are en- deavoring to do. Columbia Lodge held its regular meet- ing last Tuesday evening. Secretary James A. Balderson presented matters of importance to the body and Mr. Fredericco reported progress on behalf of the building committee. Before clos- ing good wishes were expressed for all Moose who will sail for Cardiff, Wales, on the S. 8S. George Washington, which leaves New York next Saturday.

Her impulse was to Tun out of the water and back to the ‘house, but she realized that he could _know nothing of the way she had been Greaming about him, so held her ground. ~ “Peter Thurston, Gerta and Narya,” Towsley introduced them, and Gerta, with a flashing smile, reminded him that they haq met before. “To be sure,” Towsley recollected. “I didn’t know you were going to be ‘“aiown, Thurston. Great stuff. Is your “wife with you?” “Mrs. Thurston is in Maine for the hot weather,” the man replied briefly. “Summer bachelor, eh?” Towsley : “Well this is jolly. You'll have mo play around with us full time ~-pachelors. Narya will teach you how to dance on the burning sands, won't you Narya?” April had been wondering if he would remember her at all, and how > he would greet her. Now he looked at her for the first time, and his face lit in a smile that -@vas really charming. April decided it was his wife’s presence that made him sullen. “T can’t think of anything more pleasant than to have Miss Narya un- dertake my dancing education,” he ““Snswered. April started to say impulsively “It’s ‘“@ bargain, then.” but remembered in *4ime that she was Narya, and so said slowly, “It is then agreed.” *» In ‘bathing suits, the contrast be- tween Thurston and the other men was startling. His simewy body with its dark skin, now tanned almost to the -eolor of an Indian, looked like that of +® professional athlete, while Townsley, ewith partly bald head, benignant smile, soft, dazzlingly white skin, made even whiter by the turquoise suit he wore, the soles of his feet soft and pink, made April think of an advertisement for a “And you,” April turned her face toward Thurston and tried to make her tone appear matter-of-fact, “in re- turn must¥teach me how to—what you say—conquer the breakers!” “That’s a bargain!” he replied, and April smiled to hear him use the words that had been on the tip of her tongue a minute before. He showed her how to leap to meet the breakers, so they would not carry her off her feet. But he did not touch her. It was another mark that differ- entiated him from the other men in this new world. Somehow, other men always were finding all too ready ex- cuses to touch her. She winced at the thought of the many hands which she Was so constantly avoiding. She saw Jack Hedges lifting Gerta into the waves, his arms about her. But: Thurston offered her the cama- raderie of chfidhood, gave her an op- portunity to forget that they were man and woman. Once, when she missed her footing and was,bowled over under @ green avalanche of brine, his hand found hers and helped her up again. The clasp was firm and friendly, but it did not linger. This new deference thrilled her more thanh ardent pursuit. She found the new sport so enthrall- ing under her instructor that she re- turned to the house with genuine re- gret. Her wet bathing suit removed end a gold negligee thrown over her shoulders until it would be time to dress for dinner, April lay on the lace- covered bed and considered the situa- tion. What was best to do when one’s imaginary lover appeared in the flesh? Taking into consideration, that was to say, that the imaginary loyer was ‘i0t only a married man, but a married man who showed no sentimental in- terest in her? Put that way. the an- gswer was easy. She must stop being foolish and think of Peter Thurston only as a very casual friend. Other- wise she would be ridiculous, and April had far. too much pride to wish to appear ridiculous. She would treat him just as she treated Jack Hedges and the other men in the house party. And she would stop these excursions into the realm of fancy. That course, she could see now, had been sadly lack- ing in dignity. But her resolve did not keep her from dressing with special care, only she decided to be April Low rather than Narya. So she chose a simple little go’ 1 which made her 100k as much | @ an American girl as she could wic.: the now famous coloring. If there had lingered somewhere in the back of her mind the thought that Thurston would seek her out that night it was doomed to disappointment. He appeared to enjoy himself, but he paid only polite attention to her. Even after the others began to dance, he sat back, making no effort to gain an op- portunity to dance with April, and finally it was Bob Townsley who in- sisted that Thurston should begin his lessons. “We're going to make a dancing man out of you, Pete,” he announced, “and bill you with Narya as the Sheik and Sheikless of Araby.” Indeed, April thought, with proper press agenting Thurston could have passed for a desert dweller as easily as she. The dance didn’t go so well. April thought that Thurston did not seem very interested, and she was piqued that he had had to be made to dance with her. She determined that he must atone in some way before he would be received into favor, so she said nothing. Neither did he. When the music stopped she left him abrupt- ly and caught Bob’s eye. He was be- side her with gratifying. celerity, and he needed no urgins; to escort her through the French windows and view the moon drenched world from the terrace. “How do you like Thurston?” he asked. “He’s a queer duck. But a good fellow and one of the finest architects in the city. Real artist, you know, all that. Too bad he’s married to such an empty headed wife.” “Is she so bad?” “Lord, she’s impossible. Thurston gets half way human when he’s away from her for a while, but I figure he’s trying to keep from throttling her all the time he’s with her.” April had had that impression, too. “But nothing of a—lady’s man, is he?” she murmured, and Towsley laughed as at a huge joke. “Afraid of you all, I guess,” he com- mented. what he drew.” Bob drew closer to her. “Have you been thinking that I was afraid of you, too, Narya? I have been. But Lord, you're so lovely——!” April, thinking of Thurston, turned ‘and went back into the house. ng the rest of the .eve sult of careful and ‘though Low, brown Beire,, Seen made met never im again, and so she makes him the uring swimming in the ocean, and on the “And he ought to be, after’ to him again. Once there she was struck by the thought that she might have seemed rude to him during the dance, and she had to stifle an impulse to go find him and tell him she was sorry. Later April was to look back to this night and remember that then began the suffering that was to be her daily companion through many weary months. Before she was ready for bed, Gerta knocked at her door and came in, beautiful in a flowing white negligee. “Smoke with me before you hop in?” Gerta extended a jewelea cigarette case. April shook her head smilingly, taking one of her own instead. “Lee mikes me carry these monogrammed things,” she explained, “and I'm always forget- ting to smoke them.’ “Has Bob been making love to you?” Gerta asked abruptly, blowing the smoke through her nostrils in little puffs. April was taken by surprise at the question. “Why, no, not what you'd call love. Unless—tonight—but I think that was just because he had had a little too much to drink.” Gerta laughed nervously. “I suppose I’m an awful sap, butting in where it’s none of my business, but I’ve had a hunch lately that I ought to put you wise to Bob and fellows like him. Would you think I was completely wet if I did?” “Why, no, Gerta, of course not.” April established her guest on a chaise longue and made her comfortable with pillows, then dropped onto a low stool beside her. “Please do instruct me. You know, your ways here are so strange,” she added, in. the Narya man- ner. Gerta kissed her impulsively. “I don’t care what desert you came from, you're a good kid,” she said. “That’s the only reason I'd ever consider breaking out this way. I think it’s a darn shame, for a nice kid like you to have to play the game without know- ing any of the rules. So I’m going to put you wise, and then you can go ahead and do whatever you want to. “Bob Towsley is a_ bachelor, of course. He could marry but don’t kid yourself he’s ever going to Bob’s too “I think it’s a darn shame for a nice kid like you to have to play the game without knowing any of the rules.” wise a bird for that. So really he’s in the same class with the married men. Jack Hedges is married, though you never see him anywhere with his wife, and so is Court Mason. * “Aside from Bob, Just about every- body in the whole world is married, or used to be married, or is getting un- married, But that doesn’t keep them from wanting to blink their eyes un- der the white light, not so you could notice it. Marriage in .iew York isn’t taken seriously like marriages in—in Arabia, or wherever you came from.” She winked, and April laughed. “At least, not by the people you're likely to meet. Men and women don’t really begin to have a good time in New York till after they are married. Some- times I think that’s principally why the men do marry—so they can’t be sued for breach of promise. What the fellows like Jack Hedges and Court Mason want is a good looking girl, that knows how to wear clothes, and is fun to play around with. Life is just one grand holiday, outside of business hours. “No heavy passion stuff. They're married. And though you mightn’t think it, as a rule they’re pretty well satisfied with their wives and they don’t want to get intoo deep with some one else. You'll notice that they'll say about anything to you except ‘I love you truly.’ “And believe me, they don’t want to be loved, either, not for more than an evening, you might say. If you'd like to see a quick fade-out, with no return engagement, just let one of them think you're really falling for him. That means nothing but trouble, and don’t they know it. “Loving? Well, that’s different, if you know what I mean. The aky is the limit. But don’t ever get serious or high minded about one of these boys. “Now take Bob. He has to be even more careful than the rest because he hasn’t any wife to hide behind if there should be trouble Bob was never in any breach of promise suit and he never will be. Prehistoric Gang War Shown by Cave Bones Mende, France, July 14 (A.P.).—A Stone Age murder has just been brought to light by Dr. Morel, an archeologist. In @ cavern near Ste. Enimie, where he was looking for prehistoric relics, he fcund under a bed of sand the bones of four adults and a child. They ap- peared to have been huddled together at death.

Even Sham Bull Fight Forbidden by Cuba Havana, July 14 (A.P.).—Bull fighting in Cuba passes into oblivion under a recent ban. Although comprised chiefly of Span- laids and people of Spanish descent, Cubans have waged a fight of many years against the sport of “blood and sand.” The new order making it il- legal to stage a bull fight applies to sham exhibitions as well. There is also a military order against them.

The gambrel roof is not only picturesque but very practical in that it allows the maximum of space upon the upper floor. The introduction of the bay window is a deft touch, adds interest to the face of the house and breaks up the exterior space. A little fenced- in garden to the left of the entrance gives it the true spirit of what we think of as an old-fashioned home.

But thanks just the same. I'll remember what you said. Tell me about this Mr. Tiurston. Is he like that, too?” “Thurston? Why that man hasn't enough manners to say helo properly. But I imagine he would fall pretty hard if he fell,” she added refiectively. “Those dark men with sullen eyes usually do. But don’t worry about him, His hellion of a wife wouldn’t let him, though she carries on affairs her- self all the time. I’ve had her number for a long time!” Long after Gerta had at last said a yawning good night, April thought about what she had said. Bob she could dismiss without,a regret. She had seen through Bob herself and had no intention of regarding him as other than a good fellow, to play around with. But was Thurston shallow, too, like the others? Would he run from love if he saw it coming toward him. April had thought of him as too strong to listen to the voice of convention or of convenience. Was it possible that Thurston avoided her because he foresaw in her case the possibility of a real love affair? April, reviewing the few passages between them, could not point to a single inci- dent that would support her feeling that she meant something special to him, as he did to her. persisted. Did he see that she would be spark to his tinder, and that it was safest to stay completely away? She caught herself up abruptly. She had seen this man, now, three times in all, She had danced with him twice, he had helped her once in the breakers at her own request. He had not ad- dressed to her a single word that even savored of gallantry, much less of love. It was possible that he loved his allly blonde wife and was entirely unin- terested in other women.

MOVIES THAT TALK DISLIKED IN FRANCE Have No “Artistic Destiny,” Is View of Critic; U. S. Taste Derided. Paris, July 14 (A.P.), — Talking- movies have no “artistic destiny” in France. M. Leon Moussinac, one of the foremost French film critics, believes that their importance is “at best, only documentary.” Comedia, principal French theatrical and motion picture newspaper, is mak- ing a nation-wide investigation of talk- ing movies. Most of the answers from French critics or technicians are un- favorable. The French think it no more reasonable to add speech to the movies than to sculpture or painting. “That America has already gone very far in the development of talking- movies is certainly possible, but only so much the worse for American taste,” says M. Maurice J. Champel, movie pro- ducer of Paris. “I frankly admit that talking-movies have always moved me to laughter, and I hardly think it probable, even after the recent re- marks of Mr. Jesse L. Lasky, that this so-called invention is important enough to modify the future of French film production.” French Pantheon Now Overcrowded Paris, July 14 (A.P.)—The popula- tion of the Pantheon, France’s national temple for the ashes of her illustrious dead, is becoming congested and the senate is facing fe problem of what t¢ do when there is no more room. Unless some of the famous sepulchre are moved out there will be no more room for newcomers. Jules Michelet, the historian, and Ernest Renan, who wrote the Life of Christ, have just been consecrated. “Perfect” Indian To Be a Policeman New York, July 14 (A.P.).—A perfect man is to help keep order In a com- munity which his ancestor sold for a few drinks.

ST: SUNDAY, JULY: 15, 1928: —————— a cssssttetetthettseeteneneineendtinaneaemeenmeeneens ont AUCTION BRIDGE N today’s article I propose describ- | ing a hand which I saw played some time ago at several tables in a Duplicate contest; I think it con- tains a valuable lesson for all con- cerning the importance of planning the development of the play—not just going ahead along what seems to be the natural way ano then finding out too late what should have been done. In the hand in question the cards were distributed as follows: vhkes3 + KS $1453 i NORTR 9-4 : ooe7-4 fF 3 ao J SOUTH K-05 ¥ J-10-§-7 $5 4 fi-K-8-6-2 The bidding was quite simple. South started by calling one Club. He had a holding which, in high-card strength, justified a No Trump because it was a King better than average, or, fig- uring on the basis of the 4-3-2-1 count, totaled 13; but it contained the recognized No Trump taboo—a worth- less singleton. The five-card Minor was therefore a much safer opening bid. West had not nearly the strength to make even a following bid. It is very dangerous on the first round to bid without an Ace or King—even in the “following” position A very weak fol- lowing bid is too apt to lure the part- ner into overbidding. North had normal support for his partner's Minor, but that was no rea- son for not making a better bid at a love score—with an initial Major bid it would have been different. Or, if North and South had had a score to- ward game, North would have been fully justified in passing South's Club; but eleven tricks (the number requir- ed for a game in Clubs) 1s a long road to the goal and therefore, when a side has no score toward game, it is wise to overcall a partner’s one-bid of a Minor when the overcaller’s hand con- & fl-5-4 % §-2 Ne 410-94 By MILTON C, WORK tains any better declaration. North consequently bid one Heart and, as West had no bid and the Hearts suited South perfectly, Hearts became the contract. THE PLAY. East opened with the correct lead— the Queen of Diamonds. The top of & Queen-Jack-Ten sequence is one of the best combinations from which a blind lead can be made; and Closed Hand (North) of course won . that trick. So far the bidding and play were identical at every table, and at every table trick 2 also was the same. Closed Hand led the Ace of Hearts (trump), the others all following. Closed Hand did not attempt to put Dummy in to finesse the Hearts be- cause, holding nine in his two hands, a finesse to catch a Queen is not the approved play. The conventional play under such circumstances—no infor- mation concerning the location of the adverse honor having been disclosed by the bidding—is to try and drop the adverse Queen (just as could be ac- complished in this hand) by leading the Ace and King. The adversaries have only four, and playing for the even break (2-2) will win in the long run. It will be noticed that the Declarer properly led the Ace and not the King of Hearts. Had he been an adversary playing against the contract, with a partner to inform, the King would have been the proper lead; but playing opposite a Dummy who does not need information and against two adver- saries who crave it, the Ace should be selected when opening an Ace-King suit. It may be that after leading the Ace, Declarer will wish to shift the suit; if so, he will not have givey the adversaries as much information as leading the King and then shifting the suit would have afforded. At every table but one, the Declarer at trick 3 led the King of Hearts and dropped the adverse trumps. Some Declarers then followed by leading a Spade toward Dummy’s King-Queen and, at the tables at which East played the Ace, Declarer made an easy Small Slam by later discarding a losing Club on one of Dummy’s Spades. At the ‘ables at which East did not play the Ace, the Declarer at once found himself in serious difficrity. If Dummy re- turned the Space, Declarer could not establish a good Spade in the South hand upon which to give North the needed discard. If he led and estab- lished South’s Clubs, the adversaries winning the third Club . immediately took in their Ace of Spades’ to save Small Slam and Declarer made only five-odd, Of course if, after winning the Spade in Dummy, Closed Hand could have been put in with a trump and @ second Spade lead made, every- thing would have been easy; but the was quite impossible a4 Dummy’s two trumps were both higher than either of Declarer’s remaining three. quently playing the hand in this way, ‘Declarer made only five-odd, unless East obliged by going up on the first Spade trick. One or two Declarers, after exhaust- ing the trumps, led and established Dummy’s Clubs; but this scheme was futile as far as slam-obt g was concerned because, when the adversaries won the third Club they saved the Slam by cashing the Ace of Spades. At one table a far-sighted Declarer rose to the emergency. After leading one round of trumps, he led a Spade; keeping the Heart King for a trump entry in the Closed Hand in case Dum- my won the first round. In that way he could get into Closed Hand to lead’sa second Spade and make his Small Slam regardless of whether East placed the Ace on the first Spade lead. This wage very pretty exhibition of looking ahead and furnished conclusive evidence of the benefit of planning (Copyright, 1928.) Air Tour to Promote. Travel for Pleasure Rome, July 14 (A.P.).—With a view to developing air travel for business and pleasure in Italy, a nine-day tour of Italy will be initiated September 12 under the auspices of the ministry of aeronautics and the Royal Aero Club. The airplanes participating in the contest, it is stipulated, must not cost more than 50,000 lire (about $2,631), including the outlay for the motor. They will compete for 300,000 lire worth of prizes ($15,786), 150,000 lire being offered by the ministry and the fre- mainder by the aero club. Starting from Rome, the machines will fly to Naples, Foggia, Loreto, Far- rara, Padua, Milan, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and back to Rome. The distance is roughly 1,200 miles. The competition is limited to Italian con- structors and pilots. You dont know the half of /4/s HUDSON Coupe Custom Victoria Custom 7-Pass. Sedan All prices f. o. b.

———— ee F. : . | AMONG THE CLUBS By VYLLA POE WILSON. tb & prepared for opportunity when B it knocks at your door,” is the advice of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral. The women of the world must join hands in the great march forward for the establishment of the home and the future of children on a firm founda- tion. The granting of the franchise t® more than 5,000,000 British women by the recent passage of the so-called flapper bill by the English Parliament is viewed with great interest here, be- cause it is believed that this action will have as much effect on the world as did the gaining of the absolute franchise by the women of this coun- try. Incidentally, each step the women of @ nation take toward equality not Only marks progress toward freedom but adds to their responsibility. This, the women leaders stress at all times in this country and overseas. With the broadening of the woman thought of this and other nations the formation of international branches and auxiliary chapters of national or- ganizations follow quite as a matter of course. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of the United States has branches in many lands and the Amer- ican Association of University Women ia in close accord with the international association. Mrs. Alfred J. Brosseau, president general of the N. S. Daughters of the American Revolution, has just returned from a visit to the London and Paris chapters of the D. A. R. The National Society of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution has chapters in London, Paris, China and other foreign cities. Many of the Americans in England and special committees which went over for the event, attended the unveiling June 30 of a bronze tablet at Bruns- wick Docks, Blackwall, to mark the spot from which Capt. John Smith and 105 cavaliers set sail 322 years ago to found the first English colony in America. Miss Alethea Serpell of Norfolk, Va., vice president of the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, who originated and carried out the idea of the tablet, presided. The tablet was unveiled by Miss Serpell’s nieces, Miss Sue Serpell Tyler and Miss Nell Serpell Tyler. Miss Serpell is former vice presi- dent general and honorary State regent of the Virginia D. A. R. The women in employment and the women interested in their sisters who work for a living have read with interest the statistics recently announced by Mary Anderson, chief of the Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor, in regard to women in employ- ment. According to this statement one Woman out of every eleven in this country is working outside of her home and one out of every four employed women is married. Club women in Washington and from @ll over the Nation are interested in the first official message of Mrs. John FP. Sippel, the new president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, which has just been released. The Message is as follows: “My Dc2r Giub Women: In this my first message to my dear club friends and coworkers, I want to make known to you my deep appreciation of your confidence in me in placing in my hands the leadership for the next two years of our beloved organization. You have conferred upon me a great honor, an honor of which I am not unmind- but more than that, you have offered to me an opportunity for serv- ice such as is rarely accorded a woman. “Tremendous as is the task which eonfronts us, I am convinced that with the confidence, the loyalty, the co- Operative effort, and the love of the elub women, harmony, progress and ultimate success will be ours in our manifold efforts ‘looking toward the betterment of life.’ “A greatly expanded program, which will be dedicated to the upbuilding and enrichment of the community life of America through special programs of- ferred through the major departments of work, was given unanimous indorse- ment of the board of directors held at the close of the biennial. Emphasis will be placed on the spiritual and cultural aspects of life for the individual, the community and the Nation. In an @arly issue of The Post a detailed out- line of proposed activities will be given. “Our headquarters—your headquarters —in Washington, D. C., is always open to visitors. We want you to know your mational home better, so do come and visit us. Cordially yours, “(Mrs. JOHN F.) BETTIE M. SIPPEL.” An appreciation of Mrs. Sippel was written by Mrs. Alice Ames Winter, former president of the General Federa- tion of Clubs, and is being circulated in the women’s clubs. Since work for “the community” is to be the high note of Mrs. Sippel’s ad- ministration, special stress will be placed on matters which affect the com- munity such as the campaigns to de- crease crime and the consideration of recreational facilities. One of the most important resolu- tions passed at the recent biennial con- vention of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and which will form the basis of a part of the work ®f the de- partment of public welfare is related to the activities of girls in sports. The resolution points out that the current trend in girls’ sports is overemphasis on individual achievement and record- breaking sensational publicity, the in- tensive training of the few able to qualify for teams at the expense of the many whose need of athletic activity is greater, exploitation for the enjoyment of spectators, athletic reputation or eommercial advantage. It recommends the carrying out of the efforts of the women’s division of the National Amateur Athletic Federa- tion organized to safeguard girls’ sports and to help bring to every girl oppor- tunity to take part in recreational ath- letics suited to her needs. Plans are on foot in a number of the women’s clubs of the city to furnish units of jellies and jams from the sea- aon’s preserving kettles for the replen- ishment of the jam and jelly closet of the District Chapter of the American Red Cross, from which are furnished these delicacies for the use of the vet- erans in the local service hospitals. Women’s clubs and societies interest- ed in supplying some of the 2,000 indi- vidual containers needed to fill the Red Cross jelly closet are asked to com- municate with Mrs. W. 8S. Spencer, of hospitals for the District Chapter at Main 1910, 821 Sixteenth northwest, the headquarters of the District Chapter.

A meeting of the American Gold Star Mothers was held Tuesday evening at the Hamilton Hotel. After ratification and adoption of the constitution and by-laws a unique service, known as honor roll call, took place. This ceremony will be a feature of each regular meeting. In calling the roll the name of the son and branch of service in which he died is announced.

Premier Gives $500 To Attacker’s Family Tokyo, July 14 (A.P.).—On learninz of the poverty of the family of Oka- mura, @ communist who tried to as- sassinate him, Premier Tanaka has sent a personal gift of $500 to Oka- mura’s family. Okamura tried un- successfully to reach the premier with a dagger and wounded a member of the diet and a detective. He is now under close confinement. As a result of the examination which followed the round-up of communists growing out of the attempted assas- sination, the police have learned that @ number of students and graduates of women’s colleges have secretly or- ganized a women’s student league for the promotion of communism. Thirty women have been placed under arrest and are to be prosecuted.

Rome, July 14 (A.P.).—Eat a copious and hearty “high tea” about 6 o’clock in the evening if you are summoned by the Pope for a private audience after 7. That is the practical advice Ameri- can prelates resident in Rome are giv- ing to all their visiting colleagues who come here to report to the Pope, The reason is that Pius XI, by na- tionality Italian, observes an extreme- ly late dinner hour. Audiences with him, therefore, hold no physical ter- rors for the members of his own race, nor for the Spaniards, who seldom dine before 9 o’clock or well past it. The English clergy, who have the tea habit, do not mind dining a bit late, nor do the French, who actually have the same custom, but call it “gouter” in- stead of tea. But to the pilgrim Americans, ac- customed to taking nothing between lunch and an early dinner, a protracted papal audience, despite its evident in- spiration, often spells physical torment if not downright faintness. Huge Rail Program Launched in Russia Moscow, July 14 (A.P.).—The Rus- sian government is pushing plans for the construction of 40,000 miles of railroad during the next 15 years. The beginning of Russia’s general program of railroad building took place in 1927, when work was started on the Siberian and Turkestan roads. In a three-year period prior to this approximately 81,000,000 rubles had been appropriated for railroads Officials believe that 40,000 miles more are needed to bring the roads proportionally to their prewar traffic capacity.

F bathtub of a bright, sunny morning, though not a social habit, is condoned by Miss Margaret Dessoff; New York choral leader, as a method of develop- ing a national music consciousness, Miss Dessoff, the daughter of Otto Desshoff, famous German orchestra conductor and the teacher of many of today’s conductors, is trying to de- velop her theory of music for the un- talented in her work with three choral groups in New York. “Everybody should sing,” she says. “In all European countries all people sing. They don’t think that you have to be an operatic prima donna in or- der to sing. “In the older countries, particularly in the small towns, everybody belongs to a singing ensemble, and, though none of them are soloists, they pro- duce some very fine music all to- gethef. “That’s what Americans ought to develop, a national] feeling for music. We ought to start singing in all the schools, let every youngster have a chance to sing instead of saying that MARGARETE DESSO some can’t sing and therefore should not try.” sic as a career at the age of 18, went directly against the wishes of her father, who desired to keep her from the same discouragements that he had suffered. She began giving singing lessons and in a few years had conceived her idea of ensemble singing to a point where she had under her direction a women’s chorus. . “Dessoff’s Che Frauenchor” became known throughout Europe and in 1912 was invited to take part in the Brahms Festival in Frankfurt. In 1923 Miss Dessoff came to the United States for a visit, but became so interested in the musical possibili- ties that she left her fatherland for good, settled in New York and spent three years learning the English lan- guage and American ways. She now is conductor of the Adesti Chorus, a group that has grown from 20 to 60 women’s voices, and is direc- tor of choral music at the Institute of Musical Art. “This country is so young, so vital,” she explained, “that music has just been started and has a great future. And I want to have my part in this development that is bound to come.” Machado’s Surgeon Rer- >ves Huskiness Havana, July 14 (A.P.).—President Machado has just undergone a surgical operation on his voice. The huskiness for which the Cuban executive was fa- mous was successfully eliminated. A minor operation removed a fine, fila- ment growth and gave the voice a clear tone. The delivery of an address has always been a painful procedure for President Machado, $60,000 Found by Kin In Wallet on Corpse Paris, July 14 #(A.P.).—Francoils Vergne, an honest citien of LaChamp, thought that he could take it all with him when he died. He was known to be worth $60,000 but when his rela- tives began to look for the money it could not be found. As a last resort they searched the corpse and found everything in a fat wallet. ——— -______ Cigar Makers Fight Counterfeit Havanas Havana, July 14 (A.P.).—Cuban to- bacco growers, cigar manufacturers and exporters of the famous Havana weed are getting wrought up over falsifi- cation of their product and are de- termined to put a stop to marketing of bogus Havana cigars on United States markets. Thousands of dollars have been set aside by the Cuban government for use of the Cuban tobacco commission in its drive against spurious Havana fillers and its famous tobacco blend. Efforts to stamp out bogus cigars will be carried on not only through stricter shipping measures, but through educational pamphlets which will issued by the tobacco commission. Special stamps, special cigar bands and other identifying marks will be carried on all true products of Cuba going to foreign trade. be Immigration Swindle Combatted by Italy July 14 Naples, (A.P.).—No matter how many times their fellow practi-/| there are always | tloners get caught, people in this region and that-to the south who persist in taking money from their countrymen in exchange for a guarantee to get them into Amer- ica. ' The latest to be nabbed by the po- lice, Domenico Ferrante, is now think- ing it over behind the bars. Their victim, young Pietro Baglivo, was smuggled aboard a liner and head- ed for New York. The immigration authorities, finding he had not even taken the trouble to provide himself with a faked passport, sent him back. Then his irate parents brought suit against the Ferrante-Gallucci combine for breach of contract. The crown prosecutor, however, quickly changed it from a civil action into a real pros- ecution. ti. cee — | PARIS MAP CHANGED BY TRAFFIC GROWTH 2,000 Buildings Wrecked and Twelve Streets Aban- doned in Year. Paris, July 14 (A.P.).—Traffic con- gestion and the rapid development of the Paris suburbs is creating a new Paris and at the same time giving the city’s mapmakers considerable worry. The official charts were revised in 1923 when the fortifications encircling the city were razed, Last year it was necessary to renew the charts because of the opening of ‘1e Boulevard Hauss- man and several minor streets. During the past 12 months more than 2,000 buildings have been demolished and 12 streets abandoned to make way for the extensions of the Gare de 1’Est. Now the traffic committee of the municipal council has decided that un- less the famed Central Markets are transferred to the city limits at least 50 per cent of the adjoining streets will have to be widened. This will require the destruction of another 3,000 bulld- ings and will cost the city approximate- ly 1,000,000,000 francs in expropriation fees alone, Kissing in Stations Is Proper in Paris Paris, July 14 (A.P.).—The morality or propriety of kissing in railway ste- tions has been put squarely up to the police and the French press faithfully reports arguments on both sides for the public’s amusement. The plaintif?’ is a poet whose mind was disturbed, he told the prefect of police, by the nightly spectacle in all stations of young men and women in- dulging in long and emphatic embraces, He said that he spoke on behalf of mothers and their families who must witness such behavior. The prefect considered the matter alone and in conference, finally decid- ing that it was no offense against good taste to kiss a wife, sweetheart or just a good pal good-bye in the public wait- ing rooms.

BASIC MATERIALS HIGHER The cost of construction Increased slightly during June, according to sta- tistics Just compiled by the Associated General Contractors of America. The rise, which is the first to be recorded since September, 1927, interrupts the movement toward lower levels which has prevailed during recent months. Despite the Increase, the cost average remains below the position it occupied one year ago. It is slightly above the mark recorded for June, 1926. The average of construction cogts for the first six months of the current year was appreciably lower than the corresponding figure for the first half of 1927. A marked feature of the trend of costs this year is found in the com- paratively small amount of fluctuation. Only two changes have been noted since last November, one being a decline in March and the other being the increase shown last month. At no time since the early part of 1925 has this degree of stability been witnessed. The June increase is attributed to a rise in the average of costs of basic construction materials. This movement followed a sreies of decreases which combined to form a definite downward trend that began last September. The average of wages paid in the major construction centers of the coun- try showed a decline during June, this being the first change since January of this year and the second since Febru- ary, 1927. The decline: was not suffl- client, however, to counterbalance the increase in the cost of materials. ‘NEW YORK BATTLES RENT-JUMPING CLASS ‘Building Managers Enter Into | Agreement With Merchants to Obtain Data.

PROGRAM IS INDORSED BY MANY CIVIC GROUPS Parks Add to Value of Real- tors’ Property, Says C. C. Hiett. Real estate developers and subdivid- ers are urged to set aside ample space in their properties for recreation and playgrounds in a statement recently circulated, known as “Recreation Fundamentals in Real Estate,” by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. . The opportunity of real estate men to contribute to health, happiness and safety of their new communities by lay- ing aside certain portions for recrea- tional purposes was stressed in the article. At the present time, it was pointed out, the plan has met with favor throughout the country. and has been indorsed by officlals and members of real estate boards, city planners, land- scape artists, legionnaires and service clubs, who have written enthusiastic letters regarding the idea. The movement is also being aided by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, American Federation of Labor, Federal Council of Churches and other national bodies. Addressing recently the National Recreation Congress, C. C. Hiett, former president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, declared: “The wideawake realtors of America today appreciate the fact that they can add to the value of their subdivisions by devoting or setting aside parks for public use. “A subdivider for the future value of his project would hesitate, however, before opene- ing up an uncontrolled and unsupere vised playground in the Heart of it.

Made on every plan of the operator ap- pearing before the bureau and if his set-up complies with the rigid require- ments of the bureau, or if the operator revises his plans and procedure to meet these requirements, the coveted certifi- cate is forthcoming. The bureau sur- vey, which occupies weeks of time for each project, is, of course, sought by the operator. So that the public may be able to Ydentify structures that have received this stamp of approval, the cooperative apartment consultation bureau permits the wide use of the certificate in ail advertising undertaken for the ap- proved structure. It is expected that the signed certiti- cate will be reproduced in newspaper advertising, literature and stationery throughout the country and that in the near future it will become the “bench Mark” of a safe cooperative apartment enterprise. In order that no wrong impression may be conveyed to the public the bureau forbids any reproduction of. the certificate other than reproduction in entirety. Individuals purchasing apartments in cooperative buildings which boast one of these certificates will be insured from inadequate legal structure, extrav- agant financing, poor architectural) planning and other difficulties which may arise from the work of the novice promoter. And, through research in this fairly, new ‘field, the bureau expects to show established and _ successful operators how to make their buildings more efficent. Whether or not a project placed in the hands of the consultation ‘bureau for its examination and advice receives the bureau’s certificate of approval the firm submitting the plan is given a de- tailed report of the bureau’s findings, prepared by the secretary of the bureau. In the case of the building upon which the first certificate was issued, for ex- ample, this report covered 60 type- written pages. Reaches Into Many Fields. ty The carefully planned cooperative gpartment corporation reaches into many fields according to the bureau officials. Because under ouf laws it ir mecessary to form a real corporation tn order to make possible the sale of por- tions of a building to various individ- uals, several legal forms are necessary at the outset. The wrong forms, the absence of one line in one of these forms, the addi- tion of a single phrase to the right forms, perhaps done with the best of intentions by the operator using them, can affect the success of the undertak- ing. These forms include the proprietary lease issued to the individual owners and the important by-laws of the cor- ration. The owner of an apartment in a building organized with defective forms is in the same position as the owner of an individual dwelling with a defective title. The consultation bureau insists thar all legal forms used in the organization of projects approved by the bureau meet in general the standards of the forms prepared recently at great cost -by the cooperative apartment division of the National Association of Rea! Estate Boards. The financing plan is examined from the point of view of ascertaining the adequacy of budgets, equitable distri- bution of-stock, amortization and in- terest schedule, insurance coverage, and _. method of escrowing payments, and the operator applying for the certificate must furnish detailed information cov- ering all of these points. If any of these items are out of line, complete, revision is required by the bureau before the applicant even sees the color of the new certificate of ap- _ proval. | ‘The bureau analyzes the site and sur- younding areas of the proposed struc- committee. H. Morton Bodfish, of Chicago, 1s sec- retary of the new consultation bureau Irvin Blietz, member of the firm pro- moting the building on which the first certificate was issued, has, subsequently to the meeting of the consultation bu- reau. upon the project so submitted, been made chairman-elect of the coop- erative apartment division of the na- tional association. The Gubbins, McDonnell & Blietz or- ganization can now offer the public the following statement which the bu- reau permits to be used in advertising matter: “This project has been passed on by the consultation bureau of the Cooper- ative Apartment: Division of the Na- tional Association of Real Estate Boards, certificate number 1.” The certificate states that the con- sultation committee of the Cooperative Apartment Division of the National As- sociation. of Real Estate Boards, the chairman of the division, the consult- ing attorney. and the consulting archi- tect approve the plans of the building; the financial set up, including the es- timated budget, distribution of stock. and the mortgage financing; the by- laws of the corporation and other legal forms; and the proposed plan of oper- ating the building. The certificate specifies that this ap- proval is made on the assumption that the Park Gables building is, and will continue ‘0 be, a 100 per cent coopera-~- tive project. Text of ‘he Certificate.

The constitution committee, the memb®rs of which have signed below, has given careful consideration to the cooperative building project described as follows: Park Gables, cooperative develop- ment. Based on information presented to the committee by the above appli- cant, and now on file, and upon the advice of its consulting attorney and its consulting architect, the opinion of the consultation committee is as fol- lows: 1. That the plans and specifications for the structure are well conceived in view of the location and the type of accommodations they are designed to afford. ‘ 2. That in regard to the financial plan: (a) The estimated budget is well balanced and should under ordinary conditions be sufficient. : (b) The distribution of the stock among the various apartments is fair and equitable. (c) The mortgage financing, includ- ing the principal payments thereon, ts sound and workable ~ carried forward as described. 3. That the by-laws and other legal fcrms employed meet in general with the standards indicated by the forms prepared under the direction of the cooperative apartment division of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. 4. That the proposed plan of operat- ing the building, when it shall have been completely sold, is one which can be used successfully. The above statemenis are made on the assumption that this project is. and continues to be, 100 per cent co- cperative. .

BUILDING PERMITS Two outstanding projects with an aggregate estimated cost of more than $2 600,000 were included in the build- ing permits issued by the office of the building inspector last week. These were the $1,200,000 corner addition to the La Salle Apartment building now in process of construction by the Ward- man Construction Co. ut Connecticut avenue and L street and the $810,000 apartment building to be known as Trinity Towers to be erected on the site of the old St. Stephen’s Church at 3017- 3019 Fourteenth street northwest. Contrary to original plans, Harry Wardman is not to build an eight-story office building an the former Rauscher site on L street and Connecticut ave- nue, but is to combine the addition into a twelve-story apartment and store building to conform in design to the La Salle Apartment Hotel. -Provi- sion Is to be made on the first three floors of the addition, it is understood, for a prominent F street mercantile concern, which is to tak. possession upon completion of the building. This is the only part of the structure which will differ in the general design of the two units. This part of the building will be of limestone with plate-glass show windows set bronze frames be- tween pilasters running from the sec- ond to fourth floors. Plans by Joseph Baumer, architect fo- the Wardman concern, call for a building of Romanesque design, rising to the maximum height of 130 feet, with setbacks above the 110-foot level. The facades will be of bric', except that portion of the structure to be used for store purposes. lrovision has been made on the two upper floors of the apartment building for a number of studio apartments, each contaiaing pe large room, two stories in height, dining room, kitchen and bath, and especially designed for the use of painters, artists, music stu- dents and others. Other housekeeping apartments in the building will range in size from one to “ve rooms and bath. The two buildings will occupy a total area Of 34,996 square feet. Building permits issued to noon yes- terday follow: L. E. Breuninger &-~-Sons, to erect two story brick, frame and stucco dwelling, 1326 Hemlock street north- west; estimated cost $15,000.

Theatrical People In “False Paradise” New York, July 14 (A.P.).—In the opinion of State Supreme Court Just- ice Tierney, many theatrical people live in a false paradise of their own con- struction, are entirely insensible to what goes on about them and regard themselves as superior beings. He made the remarks in deferring until fall the alimony suit of Pauline Bush Dwan against Allan Dwan, movie di- rector. “While losses through delinquent |}and fraudulent tenants have not as- |Sumed vast proportions,” states the an- nouncement, “through the care exer- cised in investigating the integrity of all applicants for office, loft or apart- ment house space, they have been a factor in increasing the cost of main- tenance and in reducing the annual in- come on the property. The present sys- tem should go a long way in eliminat- ing this waste.” SOUTHERN RAILWAY SITE BEING CLEARED Wreckers Preparing Location for New 11-Story Office Building. Wrecking of the present structures on the site at Fifteentb and K streets northwest for the new eleven-story modern office structure for the Southern Railway System has begun.

TO BE THREE STORIES HIGH Plans for the new building to be erected for William Ballantyne & Sons; at 1421 F street northwest, were an- nounced yesterday by the firm. In order to give Julius Garfinckle pos- session of property known as 1409 F street, owned by the booksellers and stationers, they traded it for 1421 F street, to allow Mr. Garfinckel to o ahead with plans for his new store building to be erected at the northwest corner of Fourteenth and F streets. The new building at 1421 F street is to be ready for occupancy by the mid- dle of October and will consist of a three-story and basement building fronting 30 feet, with a depth of 113 feet, constructed of IMht tapestry brick. The structure, which was de- signed by Sterrett & Van Vieck, New York architects, will be especially bullt to meet the needs of the firm, who will occupy the entire building. With the construction of the new building, now going forward it is inter- esting to note that next August marks the beginning of the seventy-seventh year of the firm of Ballantyne. At the outset, a small book business run by an itinerant clergyman named Gray was purchased by William Ballantyne, the store then being located on the east side of Seventh street between D and E streets. Within a few years it was moved to the opposite side of the street, and in 1878 by the admission of Robert Carter Ballantyne, the firm name was changed to William Ballan- tyne & Son. Many years later with the admission of William Ballantyne, jr.. changed the Son to “Sons.” Subsequently the business was in- corporated under that name and now consists of the two sons of William Ballantyne, and a grandson, William Carter Ballantyne. It is said to be by many years the oldest book and sta- tionery store in Washington and one of the oldest in the country under the same family management E-enos Aires Lists | California Wines | Buenos Aires, July 14 (A.P.).—Argen- tina may know that there is such a thing as prohibition in the United States. but California wines are on the wine card of the hotels just the same.

Sofia, July 14 (A.P.).—Bulgaria and Spain are the lands of Methuselahs, says Dr. Kyril Popov, state director of statistical research in Bulgaria. Bulgarians, he finds after years of close investigation, live longer than any other people in the world. In the small Bulgarian Kingdom, which has less population than New York City, there are 3,189 centenarians. Dr. Popov found that freedom from worry and placidity of disposition were the “fountains of youth” that kept these Bulgars alive. Spain, Bulgaria’s closest competitor for the longevity of its inhabitants, the Bulgarian statistician found, has 355 Al The CURB TABLE femous cefeated the board play.

Chief among them is Fatma Hamen, of Angora, who claims to be 160 years old. Fatma was born in Bulgaria, and her eldest daughter died at the age of 90. There is Zaro Aga, of Constantinople, a man of huge stature, who says he is 145 He has outlived nine wives and has just taken on a tenth.

Roumania, too, is noted for the num- ber of those who have cheated the doctor and the undertaker. Maria Ustav, who lives in Carcalia, in the Dobrudja, is 135, and has never been treated by a doctor. Eighty-two of her descendants attended her 135th birth- day anniversary celebration. Malo Frantsitch, “the Methuselah of Jugoslavia,” who died last winter in Zubitch, Bosnia, was 126. He was a heavy smoker, never refused a drink and was married three times. He finally overtaxed his strength by clam- bering up a mountain in search of a lost goat and died.

Whitaker, and champion, in all probability have a worthy rival for first honors in the coming Olympic championship chess tourna- ment at The Hague in the person of M. Euwe, of Holland. Shortly before Alekhine encountered Capablanca in the match wherein he acquired the titular honors, the Russian met Euwe in a match which he won by the close score of 3 wins and 2 losses. Recently Euwe played Bogoljubow a similar match and lost by a score of 3 to 2 and 5 draws. Commenting on the match, the British Chess Magazine says, “It has been stated that this vic- tory entitles the winner to be regarded as the official candidate (of the Inter- national Chess Federation) for a chal- lenge match with the world’s cham- pion.” Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Chess Editor Cliff Sherwood re- marks, “The federation’s annual meet- ing next August at The Hague should give us more dope on the subject. But it is probably a good guess that it 1s going to be just as hard to get Alekhine into a match as it has been with pre- vious titleholders. In all sports a com- mon weakness among champions is to hold on to their titles as long as pos- sible without risking loss of same oftener than necessary. and when they do indulge it is just for the funds of it.” The Carl A. Hesse vs. G. E. Bishop match at the local club, which was re- ported in detail in this column last week, has been concluded. The younger Hesse scored the verdict with three wins and two losses, and some half- dozen odd draws. The summer Knriegpiel tournament at the Capital City Cius lies tempo- rarily dormant. John WwYhiter, M. C. Stark, C. H. Mainhall and G. E. Bishop were the players who advanced to the finals. The absence of the two former mentioned players from the city will in all probability leave the final outcome in doubt for several weeks. The complete history of the Lasker vs. A. Y. Hesse game which appeared last Sunday has been kindly furnished us by its winner. Mr. Hesse writes, “I was rather sur- prised to see my game with Lasker in this Sunday’s column and appreciate regaining the score which had been lost from my collection. In reply to your query, that game was one of ten in a simultaneous performance given by Dr. Lasker at the Hotel Schenley, under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Chess and Whist Club, late in May or the first week of June, 1901. As you stated, Lasker was at the height of his c@reer, and had previously suffered de- feat only once in New York and twice in Philadelphia, in exhibitions over the country. On that particular eve- ning in Pittsburgh, B. H. Lutton, a strong player of western Pennsylvania, also won, and a player from Erie, Pa., drew. The remaining seven games were won by Lasker. “Regarding Prob. 271, which appeared on June 25, I have reason to agree local master Seat: ss moves with an | problem which follows ' side, ‘the solution ;and of ita statement. | vane has added | solving | Post. the first one, ning his big job as head of the League of Nations by seeing things from the other fellow’s standpoint.

V. Davies comments, “Mr. MclIl- another to the series of beautiful problems he has given us. The Key move appears unimportant until one realizes that it provides for a powerful move by the White Knight. The double move of th White Pawn ls also quite an interesting feature.” F. B. Walker writes, “In your re- marks of June 24 last in re previous tourneys conducted by The you appear’ to have overlooked held in 1923 or 1924. The prize was 810 in chess books. I was the fortunate one In that contest, and Mr. Byler was a close second. If a solving tourney is arranged for in the future, I have some books which I will place at the disposal of the committee to be used as prizes. They were won by me as prizes in different solving tourneys, and are shelf worn only. They are not doing:me any good, and some one else may get some enjoyment from them. The books I refer to are: The White Knights, by Alain C. Knight; The Theory of Pawn Promo- tion, by Alain C. Knight; and Steinitz’s Selection of Games, by Charles Devide. “John A. McInvane has an unusual gift for problem composition. He seems to compose them about as fast as we can solve them. Each one has a beautiful solution. The solution to 272 is Q-Kt3. It seems to be original and unique. I thought I had solved No. 271 by R-K7, but I discovered B-R4 and B-B7. Then I tried Kt-Kt7, but B-Q@5 spoils that.” Re No. 273 Paul Hollingsworth com- ments, “The position itself gives the key move away, because the knights are of no use unless they can move to Q7.” Today's offering is a two-mover by Mr. MclIlvane. Solvers are -invited to send in their comments, criticisms, or suggestions. PROBLEM No, 274. By JOHN A.

Their fixed overhead, taken for grant- just like .u.xes and machinery re- includes the payment of tribute to bandits. This taxes several forms. One Is ran- soming engineers, camp bosses, mine executives and other employes who are kidnaped, taken off to some bandit lair in the hills and held until the money is paid. Another is paying money gangs which and threaten ed to bandit attack camps and mines to destroy them unleas paid not to do so. A third and most common form is mining ind oil camps or any con- struction or exploration party operating |away from towns with federal garrisons to pay an agreed sum morihly to the strongest bandit chief in that region in return for immunity from kidnap- ings and attacks. As long as the chicf is paid reguiarly his men do not loot, This is she simplest and most satisfac- tory method to all concerned. It is done all the time all ever ?fexico.

The office of senior vice commander having been declared vacant because of the resignation of Comrade Shinnick, Comrades Willard Major, Coffey and Foerster were nominated for the posi- tion, the election will be held on the fourth Monday in July. Comrade Hoffman announced that he is permanently leaving this jurisdiction because of the necessity of persoually supervising his properties in the State of Oregon, a rising vote and warm felicitations were extended. Comrade Thomas R. J. Cavanaugh made a scathing denunciation of the methods used and the injustices meted out to the former service men employed in the general records section of the chief clerk’s division of the Veterans’ Bureau. The comrade has had eighteen years continuous civil and milfiary U. 8. Government service, five years of which was served as a duty and first ser- geant of company in the military and six years as a supervisor in the civil branch. He served on the Mextcan-Arizona border in 1916 and during the World War ag an original member of the Forty-second (Rainbow) Division, his service included seven French battle- fields and in the Army of Occupation in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany and he has the distinction of having been assigned Army serial number 100. A report by the excursion committee showed that all major and most of the minor details incident to its annual excursion to Marshall Hall, August 18. have been completed and although it is primarily a National Capital Post affair it is expected that the entire depart- ment will participate as usual. The welfare committee was instructed to assist the unfortunate Cline family -—the press has been the real champion of bringing this worthy case to the at- tention of the public. The Washington Post was given a | vote of thanks and recommended to the 12 is tak- | com | recalled to active duty and assigned 4s | instructors at the various camps in the | Third Corps Area.

The entire United States fleet, except the submarine divisions but including the other organizations of the battle fleet in the Pacific and the scouting fleet in the Atlantic, will make a cruise to ports on the west coast of South | America some time during .the first three months of 1929. This was decided during conferences last week at the Navy Department between depart- mental officials and Admiral Henry A Wiley, commander-in-chief of the fleet. The exact itinerary. with dates of ar- rival at and departure from the several ports to be visited, yet is to be deter- mined. This will be the first time the fieet will have made a cruise to foreign waters since the cruise to Australia in 1925. The subject of operation of the fleet after return from the South American cruise and up to June 30, next, also was discussed with Admiral Wiley. The schedule of ship movements up to De- cember 31 of this year was prescribed some time ago. The movement of ves- sels during the first six months of 1929 was left for decision until enactment of the naval appropriation bill for this fiscal year, when it would be known to what extent the money available for fuel would permit cruising of the sev- t eral components of the fleet. r 7“ England Recruiting Clergy From Trade London, July 14 (A.P.).—A practical way of solving the problem of a short- age of clergy is believed to have been found by recruiting from business and professional men. The authorities of Spitalfields parish church started classes last year for business and professional men who wished to become clergymen. Three hundred candidates applied for the course. Sixty were enrolled and will shortly be ordained by the Bishop of London. ° The students crowd into two years’ spare time study what a university student does in five years. They at- tend two lectures each night for three nights a week, but, unlike university students, are excused from studying Latin.

Senior Vice Department Commander Lorin C. Nelson, travel director for the department of the District of Colum- bia, requests that all comrades who contemplate attending the national encampment at Havana, Cuba, October 7 to 12, inclusive, notify him as soon as possible if reservations are desired. The Peninsular & Occidental Steam- ship Co., which is the only regular line operating between Key West and Ha- vana, has made reservations up to. its capacity for the two days immediately preceding and immediately following the encampment. Failure to secure definite reservations may cause some of our comrades to give up the trip. Therefore it_is the desire to release all resérvations which will not be used. Harden Camp. The Richard J.

Late last year, the War Department announced that competitive tests of semi-automatic shoulder rifles would be conducted, beginning in January, 1929, and that the weapons to be sub- mitted must be of the self loading type adapted to function with cart- ridges of caliber .276 to be furnished by the Ordnance Department. Later, the circulars announcing these tests and inviting inventors to sub- mit weapons in competition with those developed by the Ordnance Department were withdrawn, pending reconsidera- tion of the caliber that should be pre- scribed. Thus the controversy that has been going on in and out of the Army with respect to reduction of the caliber of the shoulder rifle from the prevailing caliber 30 of the Springfield rifle to caliber .276 or smaller was reopencd, in order that service opinion might be crystalized and the branches reconsidered by orders of a board has been directed to con- vene in this city Friday “to recom- mend a specific caliber for future de- velopment of the semi-automatic shoulder rifle and to perform such duties as may be assigned conection with tests of such weapons.” Now. other Members of the Board will consist of Col.

Completion of Cruisers At Navy Yards Delayed Satisfactory Progress Reported on Contracts Placed About Same Time With Private Shipbuilders. Eight Vessels Under Construction. Of the eigh} light cruisers under construction for the navy, those build- ing at navy, yards are progressing less satisfactorily than those for which con- tracts were placed at about the same time with private shipbuilders. The Pensacola (No. 24), building at New York navy yard, was 40.4 per cent. completed on June 30; whereas the Salt Lake City (No. 25), building at works of American Brown Boveri Elec- tric Corporation at Camden, N. J., laid down about the same time, was 593 per cent, complete on that date, and this notwithstanding the delays inci- dent to transfer of the contract from the Cramp Shipbuilding Company at Philadelphia. Both of those cruisers are set down for completion by July 9, 1929, but it is probable that it will take about a year longer to complete the Pensacola and a somewhat less addi- tioys:l time for the Salt Lake City. Of the six cruisers later ordered, No. 28 at Puget Sound navy yard and the Chicago (No. 29), at Mare Island navy yard, were, respectively, 9.5 and 5.1 per cent. completed on June 30; while, on that date, N@. 26 at Fore River, Mass., was 21 per cent., the Chester (No. 27), at Camden 20.2 per cent., and the Houston (No. 30), 21.2 per cent, and the Augusta (No. 31), 11 per . cent, both at Newport News, Va. The fleet submarines V-5 at Ports- mouth ndvy yard and V-6 at Mare Island navy yard were 36.9 and 26.4 per cent., respectively, complete on June 30, and they are set down for comple- tion on June 1 and Sept. 1, respectively, of next year. It is understood, how- ever, that it probably will be a year later before those boats are ready for service. The river gunboat Mindanao, built at Kiangnan Dock and Engineering Works at Shanghai, China, was delivered to the United States Navy on July 10 and placed in commission for service with the Yangtze patrol. Two othe river gunboats remain under construction at that place, the Panay due for comple- tion Sept. 1 and the Oahu Oct, 1, of this year. LIEUT. COL. BOWMAN DUE FOR PROMOTION Maj.

U.S. Succeeds Russia As Model for China Shanghai, July 14 (A.P.).—American industrial efficiency, not Russian com- munism, is furnishing the inspiration for Chinese nationalism, says Gen, Chien Ta-chun, in charge of the Shanghai military organization. He told a group of Chinese recently that workingmen in American earned as much as $700 monthly and that even Chinese cabinet ministers could not live in luxury equal to theirs. “There has been no war in America for more than 606 years,” Gen. Chien told his hearers, “and people devote themselves to construction rather than destruction, which seems to be the order of the day in China. Construction and scientific methods have made the Unitéd States the most powerful and richest nation in the world. Let China turn to her for guidance rather than the Reds of Russia. Jewish and Arab Relations Improve Geneva, July 14 (A.P.).—Relations between Arabs and Jews in Palestine are improving, says Britatn’s commis- sioner, Lieut. Col. Symes, but are not good enough. Answering questions concerning the success of Jerusalem as a center for Jews scattered throughout the world, Col. Symes said that the past few years had shown a decline in Jewish immi- gration into Palestine. He said that England had put inte practice the rrinciple of self-govern- ment and had achieved important prog- ress. A civic spirit, he said, was de- veloping, and the pcpulation appears to appreciate the value of sound or- ganization. He described projected re- forms designed to place agriculture and industry on a firmer footing. MARINE CORPS ASSIGNMENTS LIEUTENANT COLONEL —S. Wil- stars to supplies depot, Philadelphia, a.

4 » s a a * , Numerous 8 ee ee RETURN TO SPAT LEGING AEGOMMENDED BY LE Action Follows Year’s Test of _ the Several Types at Fort Benning. SPIRALS ‘ARE OPPOSED Recommendations have been made by Maj. Gen. Robert H. Allen, chief of Infantry, that the spiral wool legging, the authorized puttee for dismounted troops of the Regular Army for the past several years, be replaced by the spat- type of legging. i This recommendation was made only after a year’s thorough test of several types of legging by the Twelfth Infantry, under the direction of the In- fantry Board, at Fort Benning, Ga. The type recommended laces up the side by the hook-and-eye method, and it has adjustable web foot-straps. objections were made against the spiral type of legging, be- cause of the interference with blood circulation, tendency to absorb water and to keep the legs wet, unequal fad- ing, poor grade of material used, the difficulty of drying the leggings, and the rapidity with which the leggings change form by stretching and the con- sequent difficulty of wrapping them thereafter. There is renewed agitation in the Army for equipping mounted troops with laced boots. Nothing of a defi- nite nature has been done with the matter, however, but it would occasion little surprise if the leather puttee were submitted, in the near future, to the general staff for consideration. About a year and a half ago, the ques- tion of equipping the mounted forces of the Regular Army was discussed in- formally in military circles, but it was concluded at that time that the initial outlay would be prohibitive. Those advocating the equipment of all of the mounted troops of the mill- tary establishment with all-leather puttees point out that, ultimately, the laced-boot equipment would result in a considerable saving to the govern- ment, it being insisted that one pair of leather puttees would outlast two pairs of canvas leggings. Estimates pre- pared in the War Department indicate that a pair of laced boots for the en- listed personnel would cost about $6.75 at the present market price of leather. In addition to the better wearing qual- ities of the leather puttee, it would present a much smarter appearance than the canvas type. | AMONG THE VETERANS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7. partment headquarters with a roster of their membership as early as pos- sible. 2 The treasurers of the auxiliaries are requested to send their quarterly re- ports, accompanied by a check for per capita tax, to the department treas- urer, Cora M.

DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS Legislative and rehabilitation pol- icies of the disabled American Vet- @rans will be the subject of a series of conferences to be held at the Wash- ington office of the organization with- in the next two weeks when Millard W. Rice, the newly elected national com- mander, makes his first official visit here. The extensive report, which is now being transcribed at national head- quarters at Cincinnati, of the eighth national convention recently held at Denver, contained long programs of proposals that are to be placed be- fore the Veterans’ Bureau and Con- rehabilitation committee, and Ralph L. Chambers, who has been reelected as vice chairman of the national rehabili- tation committee. Congratulations were also extended to Past State De- partment Commander George W. Phil- lips, who has been elected a member of the national executive committee of the D. A. V. to represent the Fourth dis- trict, including the District of Colum- bia, Maryland, West Virginia and Vir- ginia. Ratification of the merging of the Ace and Rasmussen Chapters were con- curred in, and the new commander of the new chapter, Lee Turner has the best wishes of the State Department and its staff for its success in recruit- ing 1,000 members during the ensuing year. The Rasmussen Chapter held its final meeting under the name of the present chapter in the Munsey Build- ing on Monday night. The meeting held Monday evening, the final au- thorization was voted to merge the Rasmussen and Ace Chapters into a consolidation chapter to be known as the Ace-Rasmussen Chapter. Complete new constitution and by-laws were drawn and three members were elected to the executive committee. The new committeemen are Cecil H. Gardner, George D. Tilghman and Frank Owens, all, by the way, men who underwent physical reconstruction in Walter Reed Hospital here immediately following the war. Ace and Rasmussen have been for some years past the two largest and most active chapters in the District and it was thought that better results could be obtained by uniting under one set of officers.

The American War Veterans’ Club is making plans for a picnic and field day to be held in August. Veterans from the Government hospitals will be the guests.

While the director was considering policies, Col. George Ijams, assistant director, and individual claims that were brought to Denver by delegates from the hos- pitals. The recent action of the President in issuing an executive order forming a commission to study placing of a larger proportion of world war men in U. &. jobs was strongly commended by the Denver convention of the D. A. V. A member of the D. A. V. is to sit on this commission between now and the reconvening of Congress and it is expected there will be a number of proposals placed before Congress to in- crease the percentage of veterans on the civil service rolls, the Denver con- vention recommending specifically that when an eligible veteran is skipped by an appointing officer the veteran should be furnished with a written reason why his preference has not prevailed and the position be held open a reasonable time pending the reply of the veteran. Discussion of unemployment among former service men took up a consider- able time of the convention, but it was decided to cooperate with the new com- mission in the belief that it will go a long distance in relieving the situation. Further plans of the organization in- clude the formation of a glee club, to which young men are eligible. Those desiring to participate are requested to communicate with Lieut. Charles Rie- mer at the Metropolitan Bank Building. The club plans to hold its first public performance at the Walter Reed Red Cross Building, Mount Alto and Sol- diers’ Home Auditorium. The glee club will be under the directions of Lieut. Riemer, president of the organization. Rehearsals will begin in September at the City Club. Many of the club’s members have de- parted for their summer vacations. Capt. Frederick L. Stephens and Gov. Alonzo O. Dille have gone to Europe; Dr. and Mrs. George B. Trible are spending the season at Newport, R. L; Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Pollock are touring; Lieut. and Mrs. Charles Riemer are at Cape Cod; Brig. Gen. Henry J. Reilly is in Canada; Maj. and Mrs. Roy E. Hughes are at Virginia Beach; Gov. and Mrs. George J. Mueller, jr.,-are touring; Maj. Charles F. Burkhart is touring California; Mr. Fred Buchholz is in Europe; Dr. and Mrs. Charles E.

Charles Sharpe is at Cape Cod; Mr. Glenn Tubbs ts in De- troit; Lieut. and Mrs. Harry Dinger are at Atlantic City. Many others are preparing to depart to cooler parts of the country. The club’s membership is rapidly in- creasing. Several applications will be voted upon at the next session of the board of governors. FORMER KAISER SETS Dependents’ allowances for men on a permanent compensation status and increased attendants’ allowances for helpless cases were among the proposed endments to the law governing the terans’ Bureau which the D. A. V. conclave voted for, while on national defense the organization repeated its previous stand for proper preparedness, demanding particularly that the com- ing session of Congress pass the Britten bill for additional naval construction and the measure for the universal con- acription of capital and labor, as well as military forces, in the next national emergency. A continuance of the present policy of Beeeeree immigration was also ap- ved. The convention asked addi- tional appropriations for the Civilian Military Training Camps and asked Congress to pass the bill, which passed the House the last session, to allow Gold Star Mothers to visit the graves of their sons in Europe at the expense of the Government. Capt. Fred Kochli, department com- mander of the Disabled American Vet- erans, presided at the meeting of the State Department on Tuesday night at the D. A. V. headquarters in the Munsey Building. It being the first meeting of the newly elected officers and the appointees of the ensuing year, Capt. Kochli announced his staff as follows: Lieut. T. R.

Doorn, Holland, July 14 (A.P.).—the former German Kalser has become an economic factor of tremendous im- portance to the 4,000 inhabitants of Doorn through his policy of buying all clothing and food supplies for Doorn House locally, The editor of the community's news- paper sald that the former kalser’s vol- ume, of purchases was large and that tradesmen had benefited further from increased patronage by aristocratic Dutch residents. The kaiser, he said, had set them an example. “How earnestly Doorn House tries to identify itself with us,” he said, “can be judged by the fact © at the former kaiser has requested that fire alarms turned into the village brigade be made also to register in the little fire de- partment on the ‘imperial estate.’ His employes have been ordered to rush to the village and help the local fire- fighters.” Umberto C.

HAPWS of our grandmothers as young girls poring over the novela of Mra. Hw. PD. B. M. Southworth in secluded bowers flit before our eyes as we read the announcement that the League of American Pen Women has pur- chased the old Southworth home on the haights of Georgetown overlooking the Po- tomac and will make it over into national headquarters, Forty, fifty, sixty, seventy years ago the little frame cottage perched high on its rocky site, run round by a wide veranda and blessed with roses, hollyhocks, wistaria and the deep umbrage of trees, was the home of one of the most indefatigable writers of romance that ever lived. And it is all though one at times might close his eyes and swear as passage after passage is reeled off that American, Scott was again writing among the heather and the dells of ancient Scotia, Mrs. Southworth Cottage,”’ as it has come to be affectionately known, in 1853.. Mrs. Southworth was born Emma Nevitte, daughter of Capt. Charles Le- Compte Nevitte and his second wife, nah Wailes, of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, in the old Hillman house on North Capitol street, Washington, built by Gen, Washing- ton and intended to be occupied by him as his town house. The room of her birth was the one set aside for his own personal use. The year was 1819. The day, the 26th of December. The child had a deep, wild affection for her father and writes in her memoirs ‘‘* * * all my life at that time was divided into two periods, when he was home and when he was gone; and every event dated from one or two epechs—yjoyfully home,’ sadly, ‘Since father went away.’ father died while she was 5 and at his deathbed she was further christened Dorothy Bliza—E,. D. E. N. Mrs, Southworth has more than 70 novels to the credit of her pen, one almost for every year of her life. An unhappy marriage at 21 found her in 1844 supporting herself and two small children by teaching school in the fourth schoo! district of the District of Co- lumbia, now the Jefferson School, on the munificent salary of $250 per year. . * « - came to “Southworth ‘Since my father came 2B Her ER first literary effort was in 1847 when she submitted and it was accepted for publication in the Visitor of Baltimore a gtory based on an old St. Mary’s tradition, titled, “The Irish Refugee.” For this story Mrs. Southworth received nothing in the way of money; only the satisfaction of seeing her name in print. ButNt was a worth-while ef- fort, for soon thereafter there began in the National Era of Washington, published by Dr. Gamaliel Bailey, “Retribution,” the first American serial ever tg be undertaken. For “Retribution” Mrs. Southworth neither re- ceived pay. But it launched her on the world as a writer of popular American fiction and soon she was under contract with Henry Peterson, of Philadelphia, to write for the Saturday Evening Post. <A few years later she was engaged by Richard Bonner, of the New York Ledger, to supply that newspaper with a serial. The engagement resulted in “The Hidden Hand,” one of the most gripping stories ever turned out, and Mrs. South- oe Sposa tee +00 == 3--Staeaae : .

So great Famous was this that the story was run in London that of the heroine, was given to boats on the Thames, to babies and ladies’ hats. The story was dramatized and played in two London theaters, the Strand and the Grecian Temple, with John Wilkes Booth in the role of Black Donald, the villain. ; Nearly all of Mrs. Southworth’s stories are laid in Virginia, a thing no doubt inspired by the placement of her cottage on the high promontory above the Potomac and the name, Capitola, , where the eve can sweep the Potor:cc far to the southward and hills in the distance enfolding to their bosom Arlington, the home of Lee. There on the veranda she wrote, gazing off into the blue mist that enshrouds the South- land and conjures up thereby romantic notions of gay ladies and grave lords, wicked uncles and brave, dashing youths. At times she would arise from her work and walk the length of the veranda and back, turning over in her mind the plot of her story or working out faultlessly the action of her principals. In the early days of her authorship Mrs. Southworth wrote at night staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning. After she had given up her school and settled down to a literary life on the cliff overlooking the Potomac she re- served the afternoon and evenings for her writing, feeling, with the old German philoso- ema cs 8 tt roe - ei Ss, +f ae ih We i ih ane ert ee ihn ih iit | i it av Me ‘ “VYouthworth Cottage” ie di VOPPRREE ETT ET TPT ETT EAT ' very | Abb AMM Rf pher of her time, that the mind functions better from 12 noon on until far in the night. “Do I need facts?” Mrs. Southworth once reiterated in answer to the query. “Yes; my novels are all founded on facts,” she replied. ca e ° e ‘rNHE HIDDEN HAND,” her brightest and gayest story, written while her sister was dying of consumption and she herself was in had health, is an epitome of example as to fact basis for novels. It is the story of a child of mysterious birth in the wild, inaccessible mountains of Virginia, who, when grown to maturity, beautiful in form and figure, a waif on the streets of New York, finds herself re- vealed the heiress of vast estates in Virginia, of blooded parentage and gentle cast. Ma- terial for the story was taken from life, a New York waif arrested for posing as a news- boy in boy’s clothing; the mystery surround- ing the birth of a child near Benning Bridge; the attempted insult of a woman by a ruffian in Washington in 1812.

Tradition has it that for the period Mrs. Southworth wrote for the Saturday Evening Post the sub- scription jumped from 1,200 to 30,000! Mrs. Southworth wrote of the days before the Civil War, drawing as do the writers of today, on the glamour of past history for back- ground and atmosphere. Her descriptions are huge and graphic, surcharged with awe and terror by the very breath in which they are mentioned. “Hurricane Hall is a large old family mansion built of dark red sandstone in one of the loneliest and wildest of the mountain ranges of Virginia,” starts one of her famous tales which continues on. “The estate is surrounded on three sides bya range of steep gray rocks spiked with clumps of dark evergreens, and called from its horse- shoe form the Devil’s Hoof. “On the fourth side the ground gradually ascends in broken rock and barren soil to the edge of the wild mountain stream known as the Devil’s Run. “When storms and floods were high, the loud roaring of the wild mountain gorges and From ‘apiees’ tee, M.

Mrs. Southworth had a faculty of interesting, even in describing, the most commonplace in- cidents, and it was this power that made her works welcome by the ordinary reader, as well as the critical and refined. She always remained, in the years of success as in the ‘period of struggle, the same quiet, frank, un- assuming woman, and few would have sus- pected, without an introduction, that the gen- tle old lady was one of the most distinguished writers of the age.” Mrs. Southworth had a deep affection for ae af . » i A f. ; “ te & ott a4) ee Birt 0. ee ee Pa Sa thy. oe be ino x Pee eM. ee ee eae pe Before you stir say ‘Lord have mercy on my soul,’ said Capitola “I would not send you prayerless into the presence of your Creator!

(Associated Press Correspondent.) Shanghai (A.P.).— In a “‘ragged Sunday school” Dr. H. G. ©. Hallock, missionary to China for 32 years, 1s teaching Christianity to hundreds of Shang- hai youngsters of mixed nationality, Nor are the older Chinese neglected, For them the missionary provides an almanac and other writings that carry the Chris- tian message in the native language. Still he feels that his work is ‘“‘not yet half done,’’ so he has enlarged his program and is at work on a Chinese dictionary. Dr. Hallock is an in- dependent missionary, formerly allied with the Presbyterian Church, but since 1904 unattached to any de- nomination, He was born at Holliday’s Cove, W. Va., 58 years ago, was educated at Princeton and _ Rich- mond (Ohio) College and was ordained by the presbytery of Steu- benville, Ohio. He is a brother of the Rev. G. B. F. Hallock, assist- ant pastor of the Brick Church of Roch- Gi ester, N. Y. His work is chiefly among Chinese chil- dren and that group known as Eurasians, off- spring of western fathers and eastern moth- ers. Their Sunday school is one of the most unusual in China. In addition to their study of the Bible, the members maintgin a busi- ness association, study groups of various sorts and athletic teams. The average membership is about 600, but’ the. distribution of gifts during holiday sea- sons swells the enrotment enormously, Last Christmas thousands of children came for a bag of.candy and a piece of clothing. During his early years in China the mis- sionary traveled widely, making his friends among the people of every province and gain- ing an intimate knowledge of them, their country and their language.

He noticed that almost every Chinese had an almanac and that it usually contained in- formation concerning games of chance, He adopted the idea for his own purpose, and the result was Hallock’s Almanac, in Chinese, with biblical quotations substituted for the gambling information. The almanac has @ circulation of 1,612,000.

The fact remains, however, that in the Gark-blue depths of the Gulf Stream, that , Mysterious river of tropical seas, abound Some 600 specimens of deep-sea fauna so oddly adapted to their peculiar needs of food- Betting and protection that at least a hun- dred would qualify as sideshow freaks on ap- ‘pearance alone and several hundred others more because of the queerness of their pisca- torial habits. Two famous anglers, Villiam K. Vander- bilt, jr., well-known millionaire sportsman, and Capt. Charlie Thompson, guide-extraor- dinary and captor of the largest fish in the world, have cruised the Gulf Stream and Ca- ribbean Sea for many seasons and may be termed creditable authorities for tales that might occasion scoffing from less reliable sources. Aboard the yacht Ara, palatial craft of Mr. Vanderbilt, is a room devoted to all manner of equipment for catching specimens, dead or alive—rods, rifles, harpoons, nets, tPaps, blocks and tackle and all the odd stores of a taxidermist. As part of the crew, Mr. Vanderbilt ships an artist so that the vivid colors of the specimens mounted or preserved may be captured as the fish are taken from the water before the brightest tints fade. _ For some years Mr, Vanderbilt collected specimens for a fish museum which he estab- lished on Long Island and which rivaled the famous collection of the Prince of Monaco. This season, however, after an extensive tour, Mr. Vanderbilt laid the foundation for an aquarium on Virginia Key, just across the channel cut from Miami Beach, where the curlous may next ‘season see strange fish in their natural habitat and credulity may be downed forever. 3 Some odd pets, souvenirs of a cruise of the Ara in South Pacific waters, are already at the aquarium site, now the established cruis- ing base for tropical waters, Here, attired in @ bathing suit, tennis hat and slippers, the multimillionaire might have been seen during his stay in Miami, alternating direction of aquarium plans with taming weird iguanas or watching the ungainly capers of some of his penguins. A valuable contribution to science are the Galapagos tortoises, averaging 150 pounds in weight, captured in the water which collects im the craters of extinct volcanoes high on Duncan Island. The tortoise has a shell likened by Mr. Vanderbilt to elephant skin and at times extends its muscular neck 3 feet beyond its shell. Three tiny penguins, described by Mr. Vanderbilt as the ‘‘Charlie Chaplins of the bird world” because of their peculiar walk, kept the formidable-looking tortoises at their distance in the cage, how- ever, by their vicious lunges at the eyes of the lumbersome amphibians. The penguins, according to Capt. Thompson, live an ideal home life, as they “always stay together, fol- low the father’s lead and are kind to their friends.’” They followed their two human captors about in the most chummy fashion, allowing themselves to be petted. . + > * APT. THOMPSON, who has acted as guide “ for Presidents and scientists, startled the country several years ago by aapturing a huge fish, weighing 30,000 pounds, a great submarine specimen that probably had been blown up to higher sea levels by some deep- séa volcanic action. The battle lasted for s6me twenty hours, and harpoons, gunshot and every available means of killing the fish were employed before its struggles ceased sufficiently to tow it ashore. Having lived and fished all his life among the Florida keys, Capt. Charlie’ knows the haunts and habits of every fish, and claims that he could draw a ‘“‘fish-map” of the hiding places of most of the specimens.

But when this like a stupid in expre cornered by its peculiar fish and enemies, swells up toy balloon, spines all over begin to stand up in spear array. The air which the fish draws into its’ body in great gasps acts like a life-pre- server and forces the fish up to the surface of the water. As the Florida crackers say, ‘‘He jest swells up like a poisoned pup if yuh scratches his stom- ack.’’ Then there is the electric ray, a regular piscatorial dy- namo which generates shocks for the confounding of its ene- mies. The electric ray, lke others of its family, has a flattened body like a flounder, its fins spreading out on both sides like wings. A number of hexagonal cells back of the fish’s head contain a fluid which seems to be the battery gon- erating the electric charge. After the electric ray or torpedo fish, as it is also called, has battled an enemy, its stored elec- tricity apparently is depleted and the fish then has to rest to produce more electrical ammunition. The charge is sufficient to stun another fish and numb the hand of the fish- erman that is unfortunate enough to come in contact with its strange power. Another allied electrical fish of the deep is the “angler,” which boasts a strange apparatus growing up from its head, a long rod with a sort of phosphorescent ball, the glow of which in the dark depths attracts inquisitive small fish, which are then stunned by the electrical shock. . © + * lis body OTHING could be stranger or more intrigu- ing in appearance and habits than the sea “ horse, which is rather rare even in the tropical waters about Miami. Off the coast of Japan and China the sea horse attains at times a foot in length and is dried and ground up as one of the Oriental medicinal concoctions. In the Sargasso weed that floats in the Gulf Stream, however, the sea horse seldom attains more than five to seven inches. It resembles noth- ing so much as a Chessman, with its curving back and tail and arched neck and long, pointed, nose, as it swims erect by wiggling its dorsal fin. Some of the fancier specimens even have fleshy protrusions from the bony armor, rather resembling the mane on a horse’s neck, Perhaps the most extragwdinary phase of the ‘sea horse existence is its methods of reproduc- tion and propagation.

Mr. Sea Horse carries his brood about until 500 or more little sea horses, hard- ly larger than half a pin and yet exact dupli- eations of their elders, emerge from their pocket to take up the battle for existence. Na- ture, with its usual providential fashion, pro- vides for the wastage of life which is inevitable with the greedy carnivorous habits of many of the fish. Ever hear of a fish dentist? One usually connects toothache with fish as little as foot ills, and yet the fact remains that tiny para- sites get in the mouths of fish and annoy them. The tiny little butterfly fish. as dainty as its name implies and of « lovely yellow color, is as useful as ornamental. The large fish hold their mouths wide open and keep themselves perfectly still by wriggling their fins, while the butterfly fish swim fearlessly into the yawning cavern to remove the parasites. The grunts are especially afflicted-—fish which have gain- ed their uneuphonious name from the com- plaining noises they make when drawn from the water. | The lightning-change artist of the deep, and withal usually considered the villain of the show, is the octopus, made of hideous memory in Jules Verne’s story of sea bottom. The octopus tucks its soft body away in some coral rock cavern and hangs out its eight tentacles like fishing lines to drag in its prey, hooking the crabs and crawfish that amble by. The arms‘are lined with hundreds of little vacuum cups that not only hold the victim firmly but help to rend it and prepare it for the compara- tively small beaklike mouth between the tenta- cles. When in repose, the octopus is a gray, ghost- like, calor, bot when. + gota, fn nation, te..coloy The penguin, which reminds Vanderbilt of Charlie Chaplin. changes most fantastically from brown to red and even a dark purple when it is infuriated. ‘However, the octopus is not so black as it has been painted, Capt, Charlie Thompson has out- wrestled specimens up to eight feet arm spread. by the simple procedure of wading about at low tide, spying through a waterglass a cavern with shellfish refuse in front, reaching in until his adversary gets a good “holt” and then en- gaging in a tug-of-war, two arms against eight. A trick of the trade, however, confessed by the captain is squeezing the constriction at the base of the arms, which seems to 0, neem ellfish have their own peculiarities, from the Florida crawfish that hold a goosestep march at sundown to the crab that decorates himself with all sorts of undersea life. Look- ing down into clear @epths at sunset where crawfish are abundant one may be lucky enough to see the crawfish parade in their ridiculous solemn fashion, their goggly eyes peering about and their long, stilted legs go- ing up and down like those of the soldiers of the old German army. The procession is single file, nose of one crawfish close to the tail of the one ahead. Whetber it jis a con- certed stalk for the evening meal, for exercise or simply a sort of crawfish evening ritual it is impossible to tell. Life in the deep, then, seems as compli- cated as that for two-legged livers, and the struggle for existence quite as strenuous, The big fish that are dragged aboard after a battle of brawn and wits are only the plutocrats of the tropical seas, The rea} interest lies in the Strange melange of submarine life dependent upon weird physical adaptations for their very lives. (Copyright, 1928.) Film Nightmares Get Zest From Distortagraph. An invention that turns a simple movie into a nightmare of distortion has been per- fected by an Englishman, H. G. Ponting, who was Capt. Scott’s photographer on his ill-fated trip to the South Pole, says Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine. People, animals or inanimate objects are changed into grotesque caricatures by successively distorting various portions. The process makes it possible to rephotograph an ordinary still picture and make it live on the film as it flows from one grotesquerie*into another. An ordinary postcard photo of a race horse was shown by the inventor to an audience in London. As retaken for a moyie, it became successive- ly a short-legged dachshund-like animal, a longlegged giraffe type, a combination horse and mule, and other shapes.

Since each has different decorations, it requires special tuning. This is done by grinding. The bells are to be suspended by stout straps. Other details of the chapel are to be aioe of porcelain.

For 270 years the secret of what happened to: Barents,-a Hollander who sailed in 1594 to Spitzbergen and finally reached the north- east corner of Nova Zembla, was sealed in the Arctic ice. We know now that he was forced to abandon his ship, which was locked in the ice; that he spent the winter in a little snow and driftwood hut on Nova Zembla us- der the most frightful conditions, and, finally, with those of his party remaining, put out for home in two open boats. These two little boats were also added to the galaxy of ghosts of the Arctic. A Norwegian trader who visited Nova Zembla 270 years later discovered the little hut in which Barents had lived. His cooking utensils, tools, books, a flute and his journal were found almost exactly as he had left them. Perhaps his little Dutch sailing ves- gel is still floating in the ice of the Arctie seas. Sa ies it sth % ea ee f MONG other famous Arctic ghost ships are the Erebus and the Terror, the vessels of that brave Englishman, Sir John Franklin, who was sent by his government in 1845 to discover the North Pole. A sailing vessel reported having seen his two little ships in Baffin Bay, where they were awaiting an opening in the ice to proceed on their journey. They have never been seen since by white man. Several ships sent out to rescue Sir John Franklin’s party were also lost, but finally it was established that this great explorer had completed the discovery of the long- sought Northwest Passage, had been forced to abandon his vessels, which were locked in the ice, and that he and his party perish on Cornwallis Island, a bleak, desolate little spot of land to the north of Central Canada, Congress fitted out the Polaris in 1871 un- der the command of Charles Francis Hall. It passed through Kennedy Bay and discov- ered Robeson Channel, and finally reached 50 miles farther north than any point previously touched by explorers. Hall died of illness, and the boat, on its homeward journey, be- ing threatened with destruction by ice, was being abandoned when the ice on which nine- teen men, women and children had landed broke away from the vessel. The little party floated on that iceberg from October 15 to April 30 of the following year, when they were picked up by a passing whaler and brought into port. The fourteen members of the crew remaining on the Polaris finally had to abandon her and she went down in Dropped in the ice and water wastes of the Arctic, Nobile’s party was stranded among the ghost ships of old whalers, traders and earlier explorers who perished in their search for fame or fortune in the dreary “Sargasso Sea of the North.” in the Vast Refrigerator of the North, General Umberto Nobile and His Dirigible Crew Came .to Grief Among Ghosts of Many ) “yy «or i & eg i been heard.

Vast pampas, realm of the gaucho and his whistling of the wind through their tattered rigging. It does not require a mind dis- ordered by privation and hardships to see such eerie sights in the frozen North. Throughout the last 30 years the pathetic wrecks of several old whaling boats, each year more desolate than the last, have passed back and forth in review before other intrepid visitors to that region. Ferhaps Gen. Nobile and his men were @lose to the remains of the first balloon to attempt a flight across the North Pole more than 30 years ago, or in the vicinity of the 1d Portuguese galleon of Gaspar Cortereal, one of the first vessels which history re- eords as having been lost in the Arctic, or the hulls of the sixteenth-century Dutch sailing ship of Barents, or of early American clipper ships, whose daring has never been outdone, which may have roamed unmolested for decades over these seas. Most weird of all the known Arctic skeleton hulls ts that of the Navarch. Back and forth it swings in a semicircular course of 250 miles before Point Barrow, the north- ernmost tip of Alaska, riding the Arctic ice with the seasons. Once in a long while it comes close enough to shore for men to catch a@ glimpse of-.fts ghostlike masts only to go on again into the desolate unknown, The first time it appeared it seémed to eave been sent by Providence in answer to the prayers of shipwrecked mariners. Bight vessels of the whaling fleet out of San Fran- gieco more than 30 years ago were caught by the ice in the vicinity of Point Barrow, Alaska. Some of them were disabled and their crews were in great danger of starva- then. The Orca and the Jesse H. Freeman, which had drifted far to the east, were dis- abled by the ice, and the crews from both these vessels gathered up their belongings ‘and trekked across the ice to the Belvedere, which was locked in not very far away. After a few days the crews of the*two dis- abled. vessels were sent into winter quarters at Point Barrow. The Rosaria, the Newport, the Fearless and the Jeanie lay not so far off Point Bar- row and the Wanderer 60 miles farther to the east, and all were short of rations.

By dog sled men hurried out from Point Barrow over the ice to the vessel, res- cued the seven men remaining alive and dragged all the available supplies of the ves- sel back to camp. The appearance of the Navarch was nothing short of a miracle to the hungry men, In a few days she had gone from sight again, riding the ice flow with two dead men sleeping their last sleep in her bunks, HE story of how food was carried to the 265 men of those eight vessels stranded near Point Barrow by the crew of the United States Coast Guard cutter Bear is one of the most heroic in American history. When word reached San Francisco of the fate which had befallen the eight whalers, it was too late for the Bear to get very far north with supplies. It was impossible for a relief expedition to carry overland by dog sled enough food to supply such a large number of men from September until the following August, when the ice would break up. Therefore, the offi- cers of the Bear bought herds of reindeer from Alaskan natives and drove them over- land across mountains and frozen bodies of water during the rigorous Alaskan winter 1,500 miles to Point Barrow in order that the starving men might have food. Back in the days when the New Bedford clipper ships sailed the Arctic in‘ search of whales and to buy furs from the Eskimos, many of these intrepid sailors entered the Arctic basin never to return again to their home ports and their loved ones. The pic- turesque history of many of them merely ends with the simple epitaph, ‘‘Last seen in Arctic waters.”’ What tales of romance and adventure, of suffering and hardships, that phrase calls be- fore the imagination! Battles with hurri- canes, with the greedy heavy ice, with death and scurvy, There was no wireless in those days with which to S OS for aid. Only si- lence of the Arctic night and the waiting for death, if it did not mercifully come quickly. Today, since whaling has almost died out, fewer and fewer ships from American and European ports venture so far north. A few trading schooners, however, still venture into the basin to the north of Alaska and vy Se Uae» ey Hg BY ee ree pre LuAbeSNN a: bie abet a edie gs is th ue of courage into waters which few except ex- plorers will dare, The United States Coast Guard still gets a few calls for aid from ex- treme northern waters every year, Japanese whaling scnooners still aré fre- quent visitors to the Arctic, Many Japanese have never tasted the flesh of any animal except that of the whale, a meat somewhat coarser than beef, and whale oil still has numerous uses in Japan which have become more or less obsolete in America, There is one revenue cutter belonging to the United States Coast Guard service which is nearly always in readiness to proceed to the aid of trading vessels in danger in Arctic waters, This is the Northland, which has taken the place of the Bear, recently retired from the service. The Bear has as many historic stories to its credit as any vessel which ever sailed the seas. Out at its home port of San Francisco, it is regarded with the same affection as the Constitution, If the Northland happens to be laid up for repairs, there are a number of other Coast Guard ships which might respond to a call from the Arctic in a case of emergency, no- tably the Algonquin, at Astoria, Oreg.; the Snohomish, at Port Angeles, Wash., and the Inalga, at Juneau, Alaska. On the Eastern coast there are several cutters working out from Boston which might go at a call from a vessel in trouble, but none of them is espe- cially adapted for travel in the Arctic and would never be able to go where the Bear, once a whaler herself, has gone, Some famous old Norwegian whalers also go as far as Spitzbergen every year, Some of the finest of the vessels which have been used in Arctic and Antarctic exploration were originally Norwegian whalers.

It carried one of the earliest of Ameri- can explorers, Lieut. George W. DeLong, with a company of about 33 men to the Arctic. It became entangled in the ice off Herald Island to the north of Siberia, and there the little body of explorers remained during the winters of 1879, 1880 and 1881. For two long years the world outside heard nothing of them. After terrible privations the men abandoned the disabled Jeanette, and in three small boats during the summer of 1881 they set out for the Siberian coast. Fifty miles from the mouth of the Lena River the boats became separated; one even- tually made port and one of them was never heard from again. The other reached the Siberian shores at an extremely desolate point, where the crew died of starvation in the fall of that year.

As in the years long past, cattle raising still is Argentina’s foremost agricultural enterprise. Her beef industry dominates European markets, and her dairy products ex- ercise an important in- fluence on the relation of American and for- eign butter prices, But the trend to- ward grain produc- tion has been rapid. In 1927 Argentina’s agricultural exports were half as much again in value as in 1923. Wheat has su- perseded corn ag the most important cash crop of the country. Argentina corn com- petes in world markets with the exports of the United States’ feed grains, and enters the United States when the American corn crop is short. Among wheat producing coun- tries Argentina is sev- enth, but in wheat ex- port is exceeded only by.the United States and Canada. In the last six years production has ranged from 191,138,000 bushels in 1924-25 to 248,807,- 000 bushels in 1926-27, How largely agriculture predominates among Argentina’s industries is shown by the fact that in the last five years 96 per cent of the country’s total exports consisted of agricultural products. Yet, only a small part of the potential tillable land has been brought into cultivation, In a cereal region as large as the corn belt of the United States only 16.2 per cent of the land is in crops. Only 8 per cent of the country’s total area igs in cultivation. Large estates are conspicuous features of Argentina’s agricultural economy. A great proportion ef the cultivated area is in the hands of a comparatively few holders, their property totaling 1,200 acres or more.

But there appears to be no authority for such and it is not at all likely that Wash- modesty would have allowed such a thing.

Her uncle, however, soon soothed her trepidation, and after an introduction to her august visi- tor, as they expressed a wish to be away from public view, they were ushered into her little back parlor. She was then asked if she thought she could make a flag, for she had never as yet made one. She replied, with her sweet diffidence, she ‘did not know, but would try,’ and thereupon Washington pro- duced a small paper with a hurried pencil sketch thereon from his pocket, with the out- lines of a flag of thirteen stripes and with a field dotted with thirteen stars. * * = ™ cil ° sect had taken some lessons of her trade which, well remembered, she ven- tured an objection that the stars as drawn with six points should have only five. Wash- ington’s reply was (and here we see again he was loath to make an exact copy from his coat of arms) that he knew that, but that he considered a star with six points could be more readily made than one of five points. Betsy immediately responded that nothing was easier if one only knew how, and quickly folding a piece of paper in a way she had learned as one of the little arts of her trade, and with one clip of her ready scissors dis- played to the astonished eyes of the august committee a true symmetrical five-pointed star. This point was then yielded in her favor and the design was redrawn at her sugges- tion at a convenient table in the room and she was left to make her sample flag accord- ing to her own ideas of proportion and. the arrangement of the stars. In a remarkably short time she had it completed and it was then accepted by the committee.

Eve and Lilith, beauty versus brains has been good for an argument. Whether woman should please the eyes or the ears will probably never be finally set- tled, but here, at any rate, is one young ad- vocate of brains. William Collier, jr., whose age totals a bit more than a quarter of a century, says that a woman without brains is a total loss so far as he is concerned, “I don’t think the average man is attracted by a mental machine who looks like a com- bination of a rummage sale and an illustra- tion of ‘before taking,’ ” he says merrily, “but an interesting girl wiW just walk away with the party no matter how many dumb.dora beauties may be sitting around. * a7 . + eas seems to me that husbands and He’s absolutely hetter wives, in order to maintain a fair percentage of happiness, ought to be able to talk about the same things—ought to be vitally interested in the same things. That’s why I believe in professional people marrying into the profession. “Don’t think I see a chance for the blue- bird of happiness finding a home where he works in pictures in Hollywood and _ she dances in the Follies in New York. That’s something else again. But where they can live in the same town and work along the Same lines and get the same viewpoint, I think the odds in their favor are best. “If a girl has brains—not the kind that would make her a shark mathematician or enable her to write a lot of deep books, but the sort that give her a bright sparkle, a ready wit or whatever you choose to call it— She stands a better chance of holding a man after the first flush of romance has faded. “I don’t think all men are alike in pre- ferring the peppy girl, though. It seems to me that big business men like the chance to rest their brains and that’s why they choose the blah-blah beauty. “Go down to the Mayfair Club any night and look at the tables, Business men, writers, studio executives, inventors—surest thing you know they have invited girls with pretty faces and beautiful bodies, who know how to dress and have the means to dress well, They Smile a lot, these girls; not real smiles, but little mechanical smirks, They’re like the mamma dolls you give to children—they can Fr 3 a Say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and ‘good night’ and that’s , A be interesting and all.

DU oe ent UU UE ULE Coo UM a Oa ks Minn wn a ae Atlanta (A.P.).—A sculptor in sand is Howard Conibear, And with his un- usual medium the young art student, pursuing his work and exhibiting models in the South, is winning attention. Sand pigs, lions, tigers—even an entire menagerie—are among his works, as well as a model in sand of the Stone Mountain me- morial to the Con- federacy. Conibear grants that sand is not a perfect medium for modeling, for one can not defy the laws of gravitation. A sculptor in sand can not make a model of a man riding ata breakneck gallop, nor depict an elephant giving himself a bath. One of the youth’s outstanding works is his depiction of the first group in the Stone Mountain Con- federate memorial. Touched off with shrubbery the likeness is notable in its re- semblance to the orig- inal. The work of modeling in sand can not be done rapidly. It requires almost a day to build a sand pile two feet high and long _ enough to form the basis for a model. The gand must be wet and worked in a bit at | a time. _ Conibear has done some concrete work, working in this medium in much the same een as in sand.

In it he molds novel figures, including the model of the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, on which he is shown at work. The work is not such as lends itself to continuous application. off must be taken at times to avoid a rheu- matism which results from the damp sand, During these rest periods Conibear does oil painting. To some artists Conibear’s work might be discouraging. A good shower means the end of his work unless he keeps it indoors, but then the young sculptor proceeds to some new. seat ag A few months’ lay-— ’ a girl for three or four years before he the wedding he won't puts ring on her, be running to divorce the first the cere- lawyers year after mony. “IT know a who busi- ness man has married a secretary after eight years of courtship. All that held him off. He used to say: “I'll get her yet!’ I remem- ber. Now that they're they are one of the couples I know. They knew other so well. There weren't a lot of shocks com- ing to them, They didn’t expect the impossible, and they knew how to deal with each other's faults. “T have often met a girl at a party or on the beach or on an ocean trip, and I’ve thought, ‘Isn’t she marvel- ous?’ and if I had been an impulsive young idiot I might have rushed her to the altar immediately. But the | next time, or very after, l’d meet her and she wouldn’t attract the woman time she married happiest each unpleasant soon again, me in least. “Seeing a girl once, when she’s all dressed for the part of charmer, you may get one facet of her personality, or perhaps there is the excitement of shared sports and the thrill of a gay afternoon, or the romance of moon- light on a steamship deck. Think of the many sentimental interludes on shipboard! “In sudden, swift marriages the man is likely to think he has caught a cross between an angel and a sweetheart; I suppose a woman believes she has the original hero in her snare. Then when they see they’ve mar- ried a mere person, they’re resentful. “If you have known each other for a long time, you know all the little things that grate on her and you avoid doing them if you’re out to spend a pleasant evening. She’s dis- covered how to smooth you down when some- thing ruffles you. She has learned that you are likely to sulk if she keeps you waiting for an hour, so it’s no surprise to her if you sulk after you’re married. She may learn to be on time and save your temper or you may de- cide to be late yourself or cultivate philosophy. “T don’t think there’s any such thing as love at first sight. It’s a magnetism. Real love comes after you’ve both made adjustments to each other and you keep right on caring for her, in spite of all the things you’ve discovered about her. “Tt’s terribly hard to get acquainted with people, because we all live at such a pace. You feel afraid to let others see your real self for fear they will jeer at you, so you cover your- self up with a sort of sham armor, and if they ever find out what you’re actually like, it’s an accident. .That’s why long acquaintance leads to happier marriage. The other one is bound to find a crack in the armor after you’ve known one another for two or three years. “IT don’t have much use for these advocated time-limit marriages or other trick marital contracts.

His dark eyes had grown serious. “I’ve made more or less of a study of this marriage business, and I’ve come to the con- clusion that there are two things make or mar the wedded state. “Habit is the first. I think getting into habits with the one you love is a good little home-wrecker. I know many men who leave standing orders with florists for flowers on certain days that they ought to remember themselves. Maybe they write out a few cards for the man to keep on file. Happy anni- versary—George’—that’ll do for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, the baby’s coming, etc. “Kissing your wife when it gets to be a habit is more of an insult than a caress. ‘Well, my dear,’ the husband says, absently feeling in his pocket for his car keys while he dabs her on the chin or the right eye or the side of her nose. that can “When you are first married it’s no effort at all to remember all the little things women appreciate; you can’t forget candy and flowers and noticing the new outfit then. But later on you mustn’t let yourself slump. Don’t get into a routine of life so that the first man who comes along who does things differently and sees that your wife is a woman and not a housekeeper will wreck your home. “The second important matter in matrimony is freedom. Perfect freedom for both husband and wife is essential. Marriage shouldn’t mean a ball and chain. : a “Men and women are alike in feeling the lure of the forbidden.

Then they’ll have something new to talk about when they come back and they’ll appreciate each other more because they will have a new slant on life. “I know the first time a girl I was crazy about went to New York to make a picture I nearly went mad. I kept wondering what she wis doing and whether or not she had met somebody else she liked better and. whether she’d ever come back or not. “I was jealous of every man she saw there and perfectly miserable. “But later, when I realized what I was doing —that jealousy is a flame that destroys happi- ness—lI saw that only if s+2 were free to do as she pleased could I hope to hold her. When I took her to the train for another Eastern trip, I said: ‘Well, good-by. Send me word that you get there safely. Write me when you have time. See everything a: | do everything and come back when you’r: ready.’ She hardly got to New York before she was ready to hustle back again.” * a * + ILLIAM COLLIER, JR., believes that in giving the beloved perfect freedom no such situation as was met by Ruskin, Hans von Buelow and James Barrie will ever occur. Ruskin gave up his bride Euphemia to the painter Millais; Hans von Buelow surrendered his wife Cosima to Richard Wagner, and James Barrie, when he discovered that the beautiful Mary Ansell, his wife, though she loved Gilbert Cannan, bestowed a considerable fortune upon the lady, in addition to a town and country house and his blessing on her new according to Ss “That’s very beautiful; it’s a gallant gesture, but there are mighty few men who could make it,” observed the young actor. “It seems to me that a husband should see to it that his wife had no chance to get tired of him, then he wouldn’t have to find out ‘whether or .not he could measure up to these great men. “Ideal girls are happily not the same to every man. I like girls with plenty of brains, who are not afraid to say whatever they think. t doesn’t matter about age. The actual nume- ber of years has nothing to do with personality. I’ve known girls in their teens who were at least a thousand years old and should have been mummified, and I’ve known others who had gray hair who would never grow old. “But, after all, a man may talk ideals and say, ‘I insist on this’ or ‘I couldn’t stand that,’ and then ‘hlong comes thg one woman and he eats his words.

But even if we walk the straight and narrow way in these matters how many of us whose hair is short pop into bed without combing or brushing it! This could never have happened in the good old days of long hair that tangled and simply had to be brushed. But it happens today. Consequently, dust stays in when it ought to be brushed out; oil collects in the dust; brushes and combs are not cleared frequently enough and hats grow to have dark band in- side where darknes should not appear.

But here again we are, l suspect, using the wrong word. Will- iam L. Finley, the well-known nat- uralist, has had many pets. Among these was a porcupine which he brought up ona bottle. His previous conception of a porcupine had been similar to the commonly accepted one. Therefore, it Was in the nature of 2 constant and delightful surprise to find this little porcupine one of the most interesting pets he had ever had. It caused him to re- vise his previous opinion that the porcupine is a stupid animal, The Herring Gull. If any bird may be truly called an Ameri- can citizen it is the Herring Gull. Its dis- tribution is throughout North America, on both coast and inland, It is found along salt water and fresh water. Here is one bird which has succeeded in adapting itself to the changed conditions wrought by man, Its natural food consists largely of fish and shell- fish, Civilization has to a considerable de- gree diminished the supply of both these, In return, however, it has furnished a supply of other food which the Herring Gull has been quick to seize upon; namely, offal, garbage and sewage deposited in the sea from ships and from the cities along the coast. hus the Herring Gull has made a place for itself aS a scavenger, Wherever, through disease or storm, are cast up on the beaches, the gulls congre- gate to dispose of them. Around the can- ning factories, the fish wharves and the fish freezers the gulls devour the waste material thrown into the water. The fishing schoon- ers, dressing down their catches, are sur- rounded by flocks of these beautiful great birds, who eagerly seize the waste thrown overboard. Thus, taken altogether, the Herr- ing Gull is an exceedingly useful citizen in aiding to maintain the public health. Gulls catch a considerable number of rats and mice. Chamberlain says that in dispos- ing of a rat, the gull first breaks the bones by crunching with the bill. The rat is then dipped in water and soaked thoroughly, after which it is swallowed head first. This gull has the habit of rinsing food in water. Something of a Gourmand, | The capacity of a hungry snake appears to be beyond calculation. Here is a story bear- ing on this that comes from a Massachusetts devoteé of rod and reel, “One morning,”’ says he, “I caught a nice string of small pickerel and to keep them cool suspended them in the water. [| then went to a brook about a Mile away to try for trout. At the end of three hours [I re- turned to find a nice bunch of pickerel heads on my line and nothing more. My curiosity was aroused. I wanted to know who the thief was. I suspected Billy Mink. So I caught some more pickerel, left them in the water as before and awaited developments. The thief was'a water snake. I got him. He was six feet seven inches long and weighed eleven pounds two ounces. When I opened him he contained six more pickerel than he took from me.” fish Apparently there are some land snakeg — with a liking for dake Boor hoses eeeed gs ot > * NEPT OF PRAIRIE CHICKEN, OR PINNATED GROUPE’ PHOTO BY DR.ALFRED O.GROWW,! comes from the Pine Tree State and is vouched for by Walter L.

This is what he says: I had been for dace in a near my old had caught quite a string and was about to pick up my stringer and add another fish when I discovered a ribbon snake in the act of swallowing one of my catch.

One of the league members has been more or less puzzled by the, Blue Jays. He wants to know if they are weatherwise. Here is his letter: “One day last winter it became hazy and soon snow appeared in flurries. I cleared the feeding ground by the house and scattered cracked and whole corn. We noted that the Blue Jays would gorge themselves even after their bills were so full that we could see be- tween the mandibles. Then, with full throat, away they would fly. We wondered why, and tried to find out, thinking they might go to some nearby tree and by muscular effort ad- just the food into their crops. But we did not find out and my wife raises the question —did these birds know a storm was coming, and so carry it away, regurgitate it, and store it in some sheltered place?”’ Undoubtedly birds of many kinds know some time in advance when a storm is ap- proaching. To a _ certain extent they are weatherwise. So far as Jays are concerned, My correspondent was merely watching a common reaction to the thrift instinct. This the Blue Jay has to a considerable extent, It has the ability to take au amazing amount of food into the mouth at one time. This is oe pai ied.

In pleasant weather, with no hint of a storm, I have watched him carry off and hide peanuts as long as the supply lasted. The food is not swallowed and, therefore, is not regurgitated. Another correspondent looks on the Blue Jay as a pest, because of this thrifty habit of his. He says: “We have 50 to 100 Jays ata time. They live in our cornpatch until the corn is put in the crib. Then six or eight at a time they hang on the sides of the crib until no corn can be seen between the slats, After that they turn their attention to the food supply of the hens and the birds, until sometimes I feel like shooting them. We wouldn’t mind if they were Satisfied to eat and go away, but they carry off and hide so much corn, My husband found several quarts of shelled corn which Jays had tucked under the bark of @ dead pine nearly a Quarter of a mile from the © house.”’ A Naturalist’s pecacoan Box. “Can muskrats be successfully raised in pens?’’ asks a correspondent, It has been done.

uh i ie iat rT OR many years scientists have been pa- F tiently investigating the vital proc- esses Of the body seeking to learn what happens when food is converted into energy and into tissues. They now know that our bodies are living machines of the combus- tion type in which the burning of fuel (food) is accompanied by the consumption of oxy- gen, the liberation of heat energy, and the production of carbon dioxide (popularly called carbonic-acid gas) as is the case in all combustion engines, ‘The Body a Combustion Machine. Meats, vegetables, cereals and dairy prod- ucts (as types of food) are pulled to pieces in the digestive tract. In simplified form the food materials ultimately enter the biood stream and are distributed to our bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues. In the cells they meet oxygen, brought from the lungs, also carried by the blood. A chemi- cal union takes place which liberates the heat energy of the food. At the same time waste products of combustion (chiefly car- bon dioxide) are formed which are ulti- mately eliminated from the body. It is upon the combustion of food mate- rials that all of the life processes and the vital activities of the body depend. When the muscles are called upon to perform un- usual tasks, as for example in swimming or running, combustion is accelerated, more oxygen is consumed and waste products in- crease. On the other hand, there are con- ditions, as in sleep or in ill health, when combustion drops below the normal] level, whereupon the consumption of oxygen and the output of waste products decrease. Inasmuch as scientists have discovered a way of measuring the delicate fluctuations in the release of vital energ ess, a process called metabolism, they have at means for finding the answer to a great range of practical ques- tions relating to the energy requirements of both man and the animals, the .nutritive values of different foods, and the effect the unusual conditions and situations which arise in the environment of every individual. in this proc- which is hand of For many years the nutrition laboratory of Carnegie Institution, under the leader- Ship of its director, Dr. Francis G. Benedict, has been at work on these problems. Theréd are still many things concerning the meta- bolic processes which are only partially un- derstood, nevertheless a number of interest- ing and important facts have been brought to light. Some of the most significant of these were described recently by Dr. Bene- dict in a lecture before the institution. Measuring Internal Combustion. Dr. Benedict spoke of the method by which metabolism is measured. On this point he said that the efforts of scientists had been directed toward finding a way of measuring the heat output of the body. This was the natural approach, he suggested, because of the obvious fact that all warm-blooded ani- mals are constantly giving off heat; that from a single person, for example, being ap- proximately equivalent to the heat radiated by a 100-watt lamp. To measure this heat, an apparatus called a ‘‘calorimeter’’ was devised. It consists of a chamber constructed of nonconducting ma- terials in which a person or an animal may remain for long periods without discomfort. W. ‘er circulating through a system of pipes within the room carries off the heat devel- oped by the subject. Knowing the tem- perature of the water as it enters and leaves the chamber, and the volume of flow, the investigator can readily calculate the heat given off by the subject. Improvements in the apparatus permit the determir ation also of the amount of oxygen consumed and of carbon dioxide eliminated. A Simpler Device. However, this apparatus is expensive and unwieldy. Besides, it requires for its op- eration several technicians. In consequence it is being superseded by a much simpler device based on information gained through the use of the calorimeter. It appears that experiments conducted with the calorimeter showed that the liber- ation of heat energy, the production of car- bon dioxide, and the consumption of onxy- gwen are all so closely correlated with each other and in such definite ratios that, given one of these factors, the others can be found by simple calculation. That is to say, one liter of oxygen is con- sumed in burning 1.35 grams of sugar dur- ing which process about 5 calories of heat- energy are liberated. Thus if the investi- gator measures the oxygen a person con- sumes, for example, in a 5-mile run, he can readily and accurately determine the amount of fuel that has been oxidized during the has been released. Inasmuch as respiration apparatus for the measurement of oxygen consumption can be secured at small expense as compared with the cost of a calorimeter and as its use is simpler, requiring but one technician, the scientists, Dr. Benedict pointed out, who study metabolism are now using, for the most part, apparatus which measures oxy- gen consumption alone, Heat Production When in Repose. In telling about the discoveries made through these investigations, Dr, Benedict Said that one of the first things learned is that every animal is continually producing heat, even when in repose and without food. The rate is a low one, to be sure, but a rate which is commensurate with the low vitality which obtains under such conditions. i suri time and the amount of heat-energy that’ THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JULY 15, ea A —— TET oepren tree rpee terereeper et Seeerety: (ier) 1928. teererses, ess ry) rr er Py MTA l 7 dg ANTHEA HAAN ATA which he and other investigators had learned in working along these lines. It is found, he said, that when conditions of measurement are the same, the “basal metabolism” of the individual remains rea- sonably constant but that it promptly in- creases when food is taken into the stomach and decreases in fasting or when the body is undernourished. Hé reports also that such factors as sex, size, age and height of the subject likewise must be taken into account. Concerning these later factors he said: “The average new-born baby, weigh- ing about eight pounds, has a 24-hour basal heat production of 143 calories, the average 13-year-old girl, weighing about 92 pounds, has a heat production of 1,200 calories, and the average man, weighing 155 pounds, 1,700 calories. Thus the baby, less than one-tenth the weight of the 13-year-old girl, produces considerably more than one-tenth that tions in China and in Japan likewise point to a lower metabolie—, among Orientals. As a result of the study at Mount Holyoke Col- lege, the Carnegie Institution has planned a fairly extensive investigation of the metabo- lism of different races. Considerable progress in this direction has already been made by collaborators, particularly in the study of groups of Jamaican natives and in the study of Maya Indians at Chichen Itza, Yucatan. It was found with the browns and blacks, both males and females, in Jamaica that the metabolism is essentially the same as the standards for white men and women in the north, Perhaps the most important fact established by the Jamaica study, however, is not the absence of a racial factor, but that the tropical environment in which the people live has not lowered their normal metabo- lism. Apparently the suspected depressing Dr. Francis G. Benedict, Director Nutrition Laboratory of Carnegie Institution of Washington, and his multiple-chamber respi- ration apparatus. The apparatus makes possible the simultaneous study of four small animals in respect to heat production and reaetion to food changes.

On this point Dr. Benedict said: set what subject’s “The conditions coygidered prerequis- ite for the measurement of this ‘basal metabolism’ are: That one should be in complete mental and muscular repose, usually after lying on a couch for 30 minutes; that he should be neither too cold nor too warm, but comfortably re- laxed; that his body temperature should be normal; that he should be awake; and that at least twelve hours shall have elapsed since the last meal.’’ By measuring the oxygen consumed in doing a given piece of work and subtracting from it the amount needed to maintain the vital processes in repose, the amount re- quired by the task alone is obtained. Because a simple method of measurement is now available and because scieutists have learned that the “basal metabolism’”’ of the subject must always be taken into account, it is possible for them to study the effect upon the vital activity of a great variety of factors. Factors Affecting “Basal Metabolism.” Dr. Benedict told of some of the things tor, a white rat and a dove. of the adult latter. In comparison with an man weighing nearly twenty times as much the baby produces one-twelth the heat. “Again, it was at first supposed that two individuals of the same weight could be compared with each other but it was soon discovered that the tall, thin man has a metabolism which is different from that of the short, fat man even though their weights. be the same. ‘“‘Age is also more or less closely cor- related, for low weight and low stature are coincident with youth and greater weight and greater stature with adult life. After some twenty years’ work we have a fairly complete series of measure- ments of ‘basal metabolism’ extending from birth to old age. It is clear from these records that the heat production of different individuals, whether com- pared per unit of body weight or per unit of body surface, varies with age, the youth having a more intense me- tabolism than the adult. “In comparing boys with girls and men with women it is found that up to about one year of age no difference in metabolism of the sexes is observable. Thereafter, however, the influence of sex becomes pronounced, the metabolism of boys and men being on the average about 12 per cent higher than that of girls and women.” Vacation Without Effect. The effect on basal metabolism of change in habits of life, as for example when a sum- mer vacation is taken, was studied in the nutrition laboratory. Twenty-two individuals, both men and women, members of the lab- oratory staff, accustomed to indoor task and laboratory work, were subjets. The vacation period extended through the month of August, the metabolism of each subject being measured on at least two days in July and again on two days in September. In every instance the subjects asserted that their vacations were characterized by greater activity, more outdoor life, and change of-diet and environment. Greatly to the surprise of the investigators it was found that in prac- tically every case the metabolism Was exactly the same after vacation as before, In com- menting on this result, Dr. Benedict said: It is astonishing that a procedure which results in such a profound altera- tion in the subjective feelings as obtains in the case of a summer vacation, should not have altered in the slightest the “basal metabolism.’’ This is again a strong indication of its fixity. Racial. Factor in Metabolism. In spite of the seeming constancy of “basal metabolism,” influencing factors occasionally arise that are most surprising. of. observations at Mount Holyoke College the investigators noted that certain Chinese and Japanese subjects showed a strikingly low metabolism. This finding was immedi- ately checked by measuring a number of other Orientals, both at Mount Holyoke Col- lege and at Teachers College, New York. It was found,that these Oriental women had a 10 per cent lower metabolism than American women measured under the same conditions. Seemingly the only distinguish- ing factor was that of race.

With the Maya Indians, all of whom were men, the metabolism on the average was 5 per cent above the standards for white men in the north. Thus apparently the sub- tropical environment of this region has not only not lowered the metabolism of these subjects, but some factor, presumably racial, has asserted itself, producing a distinctly higher metabolic level. Dr, Benedict sug- gests that with the Mayas a definite racial factor may obtain which is comparable to the racial factor noted among the Chinese and Japanese, whose metabolism appears to be low. measurements. and also measurements, that upon sO in metabo- sojourn the The Effect of Cold. Since these studies seem to indicate that a war environment does not lower basal metabolism, the question naturally arises as to the effect on metabolism of exposure of the body to cold. Dr. Benedict described experiments which had been conducted in the attempt to find the answer. His conclusion is that they tend to show that production of heat energy in- creases with exposure to cold but not to the degree that one might expect. Indeed, only when the point of shivering, which is really a form of muscular work, is reached, is there any considerable rise in metabolism. This indicates, Dr. Benedict believes, that only under extreme conditions and as a last resort is heat produced to keep the body warm. Under ordinary circumstances, he holds, heat production is an end product and not the main purpose of the vital processes. The Common A ffliction—Overweight. Naturally the investigators of the nutrition laboratory, in pursuit of their studies, have gathered much information bearing upon the common affliction of overweight. Dr. Bene- dict dwelt upon this matter at length. “During youth and the period of rapid growth, indeed up to 30 years of age, statistics show clearly that overweight is a distinct asset toward longevity. Be- yond 30 years it becomes a liability of no mean significance. But the keen ap- petite for food so fortunately provided for us by nature during the period of youth and activity has established such a firm habit upon us, that the tendency is to keep up the food intake, notwithstand- ing the fact that with advancing age the physical activities are lessened and there is therefore an evér-decreasing heat out- put. The inevitable result is increase in weight, which begins with plumpness, passes through embonpoint, and finally o + ow + Le ¥ ‘ ‘ . eH 2 . = hick Sen a ee ee ae ee oe we ae eit a Phar 0 ee ; ee Vath Wt 6) th aa aE ea 23 Ll yonder ivsdo4 Opry aietonprsvtinannntvnnsents ru ueeniePTTOPRNCNNnnRE 008 9er T/C Ae Tener AMR FETT my +i Mili TOSPOPEETT PETE THE MEASURE OF MAN’S VITAL ENERG Tila TARAS Lada Lbhad ' Aut niitunay iAH ay NM ends up in obesity, which should always be called fatness. “The chief cause of obesity is over- eating. Contributory factors may be er- rors of diet, errors in exercise, and cer- tain pathological conditions. But when you eat a little more than you burn up, it must be deposited in the body. “The insidious way in which a small excess may contribute to build up fat is illustrated by the fact that if but one small pat of butter, corresponding to 10 grams, in excess of one’s needs is eaten each day for a year, it will cause an in- crease in weight of 8 pounds. Two extra lumps of sugar eaten each day through- out a year, or the equivalent amount of candy (a nougatine, for example), would also cause the same increase in weight. ‘*Basal metabolism’ measurements have been of incalculable service in studying the various types of obesity. When dietetic restrictions are to be sup- plemented by medication, such as the ad- ministration of thyroid to whip up the internal metabolism, such measurements are imperative. Fortunately for most people intelligent dietic attention will control weight. However, as the increase in weight is usually not sudden, but comes on with insidious surety during two, three, or more years, the removal of weight should likewise be slow, “The effect of rapid loss of weight is of course most strikingly shown with the fasting individual. The man who fasted 31 days at the nutrition laboratory lost 29 pounds and he looked it. For the ordi- nary person rapid reduction is qa dis- tinctly dangerous procedure, A mild re- duction in food intake, even no more than simply ruling out visible fats, will accomplish a great deal. But it must not be forgotten that obesity is a condition demanding fullest cooperation with a skilled physician.”’ The Measure of Vital Energy. The years of study which Dr. Benedict has given to the vital processes of the body con- vinces him that every healthy individual has a normal, remarkably fixed ‘‘basal metabol- ism’”’ does not undergo changes even with considerable super-imposition of other factors. When the ‘‘basa] metabolism’? does alter in marked degree, it is uSually due to disease or to some profound change in the general makeup. This change may frequent- betterment of the organism or, not infrequently, it represents a below-par stage. In this therefore, Dr. Benedict holds that measurement of the ‘“‘basal metabolism”’ affords a splendid index of the level] of vital activity. which ly be a sense, Sa 99 A bicycle “ergometer eoregrenge' revenyret t ‘AAALA eL L renters!

UML, In its current quarterly publication, the American Association for Labor Legislation announces that its standard bill for rock- dusting of coal mines will be pressed for adoption in the seventeen bituminous States holding legislative sessions in 1929, and in which rock-dusting laws have not been en- acted. Rock dusting to prevent accidents is a com- paratively new safety feature. It has dem- onstrated its worth in a sufficient number of instances to warrant the serious considera- tion of the industry. The report on this sub- ject made to the Cincinnati convention indi- cates that its adoption is going steadily for- ward, and without any legislative coercion. At the present time six States have rock- dust laws—Utah, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.

The boys and girls would make their plans for the party with the utmost secrecy. The lunch would be prepared and everything set for a great big ‘surprise’ and we would land at the home of the victim, I mean the surprised party, only to find him or her, as the case might be, arrayed in glad party clothes and trying awfully hard to appear to be ‘surprised.’ - ¥ * a 66 OWEVER, the ‘surprise’ furnished a lot of fun for the boys and girls who plan- By HARRY HITES ned it, and [I sorter suspect that the ‘notifica- tion’ party is being arranged along the same lines by both sides, “My guess is that when the notification committee arrives at any one of the candi- dates’ homes, they will find that eandidate all dolled up in party clothes, with a ready-writ- ten speech of acceptance ready to unload and the ‘surprise’ will be no ‘surprise’ at all. “Sending a committee to notify a candidate of his selection was all right in the days when there were no railroads and the delegates to a convention were sometimes many weeks in getting back home with the news.

Describing her struggles in Africa to free the slaves, Lady Simon tells how her efforts met the response of England: *‘When Great Britain acquired Sierra Leone by treaty session in 1787, the slave trade, dating back to time immemorial, was still op- erating in all its barbarity. The chiefs re- garded it as part of the burden life had put upon their people and, indeed, the civilized world up till the nineteenth century consid- ered it necessary for ‘working’ the tropics successfully. ‘Black Ivory’ was very profit- able. | “I know, of course, that there could be no slavery in that part of Sierra Leone now, for the sovereignty is directly under the British crown. Instead, I found, it flourished in the Protectorate of Sierra Leone, a huge territory sprawling back into the hinterland toward the headwaters ‘of the Niger. This happens ‘to be under the sway of the Governor of the colony. He rules it oniy indirectly, however, the actual administration being largely in the hands of native chiefs whose power resembles that of medieval over-lords. The slave own- ing tribes in the protectorate numbered six- teen, by far the richest being the powerful and warlike Mendes, who alone held more than 83,000 souls! The Mende war is still a painful memory in the British foreign office. That is why the business of emancipation of. these slaves was such a delicate affair. “When the protectorate was constituted in 1895, ‘it was openly admitted that slavery was general. Under native law and custom a mas- _ ~ ter had always been able to recapture a run- away slave by any means within his power. But written into the declaration that created was an ordinance that in the region. From that time forward, all At that rate eight hundred a year would be emancipated, and there were many who would never live to see the light of liberty. The British colonial office had been trying for six years to find a way to hasten the process, to abolish the system entirely. Vari- ous officials in high places had offered various solutions from time to time. “In July, 1927, I saw Sir John Simon and other legal authorities and put the situation before them. Whereupon my husband fired the opening shot in our campaign with a let- ter published in the Times, August 25, 1927. Then the whole press of England blazed away and the fi,ght was won. Mr. Amery, the British colonial secretary, took prompt and vigorous action. He instructed the governor of Sierra Leone to summon a special meeting of the’legislative council early, and last Au- tumn a law was passed abolishing in Sierra Leone the status of slavery forever. And that is how at the dawn of this year of our Lord, 215,000 slaves entered into freedom.” Rains Sometimes. So far as known, there is no place on earth where rain does not fall at some time or other, says Tycos, even in the Sahara Desert. In parts of the Mojave Desert in California rain falls but once a year; at a certain place called Bagdad, where a weather record is maintained by the government, no rain fell for a period of two years, In regions of de- ficient Yainfall it never rains but it pours, and then the shower is always brief. Overcast skies rarely continue all day in desert regions. In Yuma, Ariz., a hote] has this sign prominently displayed on one of its sides: ‘‘Free Meals Every Day the Sun Doeh Not Shine.” Though this sign has béen there for about fifteen years no free meals have ever been served. A German railroad has just accepted a new superheated steam locomotive equipped with pulverized coal firing. The new engine pulls 1,700 tons on a slight grade at the same speed as the ordinary locomotive would do with 1,200 tons. : 1 Se — Keeping Men Away” — The language of the church must be trans- lated into the dialect of today, if it is to meet the needs of the people, declares Dr. H. B. Kerchner, pastor of the ‘‘Old First’? Reform- ed Church of Philadelphia, according to Dr. Joseph Fort Newton in August McCall’s. Men want religion more today than they have ever wanted it, but they don’t know how to get it because they lack the “‘technique of the inner life,” declares Dr. Kerchner, who says that the leaders of today’s youth must be adventurous ones. Pointing out the needs of the church today, and how to achieve them, Dr. Kerchner says: ‘All service of man is service to God, and therefore essentially religious. The line be- tween the ‘sacred’ and the ‘secular’ must be erased in the larger vision that all work done for the good of man 4s holy. President Roosevelt called his high office a ‘bully pul- ‘pit,’ and so it is, Every office held as a v | Z Pe ee oh Bret ; IT eA oe ar eT Oe De ee a Ts “ Ey ‘ pt e be ie Sd Eras (aM AN Pe , ea it we is MS Bi ‘eee Casual, public trust, every honorable profession, every useful trade, is both an opportunity and an obligation to serve God. “The: supreme need of our day is a pro- phetic ministry, God-illumined and love- anointed. Such a ministry will be fraternal, ready and eager to cooperate with all churches in meeting the needs of the age. It will recognize the fundamental impor- tance of the child in our midst, and teach youth in an effective way. It will create a church architecture that will make God elo- quent to man, and a wership that reveals the beauty of holiness. “If we are to exercise a prophetic ministry we must live prophetically. That is to say, we must get out of the rut and routine of petty things, out of the drab colors of medio- crity, into the rhythm of a greater Christian- ity, more heroic, more magnanimous, more daring.” i ; | ) .

Stoneham on the other, it would seem that the era of the Soulless Corporation is at hand in the baseball industry. Mr Rickard asserts that his firm, the Madison Square Garden Corporation, will, before the expira- tion of the present summer, acquire by purchase for cash, the baseball entity known as the New York Giants, complete with historic traditions. Mr. Stoneham states that this is not so, but that he probably means nothing more than that he considers the announcement to be prema- ture, and it may be expected that between the present time and the solemnization of the world series, there will be a formal announce- ment that the historic traditions of the New York Giants are under new management, Well, now, the baseball concerns for many years have been conducted by duly chartered corporations, and it is a fine question whether the Madison Square Garden Corporation is more soulless than the National Exhibition Co., or, to put it another way, the National Exhibition Co. is more soulful than the Madi- son Square Garden Corporation, It is true that the athletes or employes of mien Rte TUT nL TI Lal TM Ha tPA RUT cL TL ‘Tales BT a SLA MTU SAE IT SRT HT. eee | es Rea QUEEN, the G Eiiw TT sit - » oT ¥ ” OME four years ago, reat ' " eer TT ; me reert ” wn , { Pins THT AUP Pa DAL TTT Pa ili LT Recently Mr. Ed Roush, an important member of the staff, withdrew from his post of duty in protest against the pres- ence of a house detective under his bed. the national exhibition, while appearing in the role of heroes of more or less grandeur before the customers, have been subjected to the rigors of a house discipline not unlike the Cheka system of the soft coal fields. There have been keyhole detectives, bat boys in false whiskers and spurious recruits on the bench whose large feet, general lassitude and naive inquiries as to, the location of first base have laid them open to suspicion that they might, possibly be the minions of Mr. William J. Burns. But recently, Mr. Ed Roush, an important member of the staff, withdsew from his post of duty in protest against the presence of a house detective under his bed. Can a corporation which would set the hounds’ of the law upon its presumably faithful hands be regarded as a corporation with a soul? Perhaps not, yet the National Dr. Lee A. DeAr- ment, of Dalton, Ohio, was romping in the front yard of his home with a huge and leggy Great Dane puppy, eight months old, that he had raised from babyhood. He had named her Queen, and had amused him- self by teaching her a few simple tricks which she learned with bewildering ease, Still it had not oc- curred to the doctor that his gigantic puppy had more than the ordinarily clever brain of one of her splendid breed. That was to be discovered later and in a painful way. During the front yard romp the puppy brought a ball for her master to throw for her. The ball struck against a tree as De- Arment tossed it and it rolled out into the street. Queen dashed after it. A careless motorist was traveling too fast and with too little consideration for anything but himself. His car ran over the pup. The doctor picked up the terribly injured dog and got her the best procurable surgi- cal care, For months she was crippled but youth and wise treatment repaired her shat- tered bones and shattered health. During those long months DeArment and his dog became far better acquainted than otherwise they would have been. Not only did the constant association with humans tend to humanize Queen, but her master discovered that she had an amazingly human brain. So, entirely by kindness and a little teaching at a time, he began a course of intensive training which the convalescent puppy enjoyed every bit as much as did he. He was not content to teach her mere tricks, though she learned scores of those. He developed her ‘“‘thought-processes” as well. She responded eagerly to his system of education. When she was entirely well again, this education was kept up. As a result, Dr. DeArment’s wonderful dog was soon the talk of Dalton. The doctor declared he would show his Weather Data Is Sought in Study Of Solar Heat "Madison, Wis., (A.P.).—Louis 0. Sor- dahl, a research physicist at the University of Wisconsin, is going into the Hottentot reserva- tion of southwest Africa to make a three-year study of solar radiation. His work will be part of an extensive scientific program which aims at perfecting a method of predicting weather conditions several months in advance. Sordahl’s researches will be conducted at the station of the Smithsonian Institution on Mount Brukkaros, one of three places where observations are being made. He will take daily readings of the amount of heat given off by the sun, will observe the effect of sun spots and will record the heat intensity on various parts of the sun’s disc. He will also chart the amount of heat absorbed by the at- mosphere. ' The weather forecast program was insti- tuted in 1926, and since that time the Smith- sonian’s stations on Brukkaros, on Table Moun- tain, near Pasadena, and at Mougtzuma, Chile, have made encouraging advances toward the goal. Readings and observations at these places have checked with almost negligible dif- ferences. Scientists believe that the careful study of the distribution of solar heat will reveal a hitherto unknown relation ‘between the variation in the sun’s energy and weather conditions, She rears herself on her hind legs at the wicket. gratitude for Queen’s recovery—and make her show her own gratitudg for it—by de- voting her future career to charity. This he did. For the past three years Queen has been giving dozens of public exhibitions in behalf of various charities. A charitable fund is kept, in her name, in a local bank. As soon as a check is received for one of her performances, it is indorsed over to her. She carries it and her pass- book in her mouth, with the utmost care, to the bank, and straight up to the receiving teller’s window, There she waits her turn in line, and rears herself on her hind legs at the wicket, her paws on the glass counter of the window. She thursts the check and book through the brass grill to the teller, and waits while the sum is entered. Then, when the passbook is handed back to her, she carries it home with the same worried carefulness and puts it away in the hiding place where it is always kept. Her checks, by the way, are indorsed by TUURYMOTU ONT PAPUAN OTL UAL SALAAM ET STE ET TUT UA Aa A SUE Haggunen enna tt NASR GTN ERG APONTE TTT eT TUTTE UU Tr itr Tint initia nt) atk) Lh LL A tererrecebepereregnepernegenhes ier | Dogs Dane That “Worked” for Charity : : ' arenenenreny HERAT ETENT HHH HEY A 4 . . inate S : UTTER ETT OPT TT eas Exhibition Co., in the imagination of the customers, has possessed a dark, suspi- cious and mysterious character which the public instinctively regarded as the expres- sion of the characters of Mr. Stoneham and Mr. John J. McGraw, Thus far, although all of the baseball firms are technically corporations, each one has been identified to the customers with the character of some individual. For many years, the Cincinnati Reds were thought of as Mr. Garry Herrmann’s baseball club; the White Sox, a corporation, have been the ex- pression of Mr. Charley Comiskey’s spirit; the Robins of Brooklyn, pathetic and pinch- ed, represented the character of the thrifty Charles H, Ebbets and later, careless, lucky and jovial, the character of Uncle Wilbur Kobinson. Baseball corporations have sold out, com- plete with traditions, before, but always it was made to appear that one fine old soul was selling out to another sportsman of more or less picturesque character. Now comes, however, the soulless corpora- tion, the Madison Square Garden firm, to buy a ball club, complete with traditions, and con- duct the same in the impersonal manner of a trust. It would overstrain the imagination to picture Mr. Rickard, who doesn’t know a fungo from a fielder’s choice, officiating ag the character man of the Giants, even if Mr. Rickard already had not identified himself to the public as strictly a corporation man promoting entertainments for wages and dividends. It will be interesting to note whether the husks of romance, to put a poetic twist on the situation, can be made appetizing to the trade when the soulless corporation buys the New York Giants plete with historic traditions, (Copyright, 1928.) , com ditt SEHK 7] By Albert Payson || Terhune tuulianataneensuannoneenstsatuensefistavannsssstnesrnanasnaueesyogngtaneggaberastasnegcuicnenraitvasenacysenaanea gat UuutastatedflaaanisintaptENaGOAAtEOLNEt OU (AALANAEAEGNETAL OMAN ROPER AQOOES OG ESAG TULARE MAAN, her master or by the management of enter- tainments to “Queen, the Educated Great Dane.” Her bank hoardings are divided among genuinely worthy charitable causes. Every dollar goes to some such cause. Says an Ohio newspaper, commenting on her odd career: “Dr, DeArment, when Queen was so dan- gerously hurt by the automobile, sent up an earnest prayer in her behalf, and promised the Great Physician that if He would spare her life her owner would see to it that Queen should ‘brighten her corner’ of the world and help make folk happy as far as possible. ‘“‘Her income is $1.25 a minute at the larger entertainments, and some time ago she had already raised $2,700 for various charities. She has also given many free en- tertainments at orphan asylums, hospitals and schools. Her intelligence is such that her master and his wife have to spell out words in order to keep her from understand- ing their meaning, when they are talking of something they do not wish her to know. *‘Last Christmas she received more than 500 letters and cards. Among the sufferers who have received checks earned by Queen and signed with her name, are the Mississippi flood victims, the «starving children in Ohio’s mining sections, &c, as well as cheers sent to promote at least one religious revival in the State.” Her entertainments last from one hour to two hours. During that time she provides the whole program, working under Dr. De- Arment’s direction. She enacts pantomime plays, does simple sums in mathematics, picks out one color from another at com- mand, performs ‘‘rescues’” and does other stunts far outside the range of the ordinary animal act. Her master declares she has never re- ceived a blow or a kick, and that her brain has been developed as would be that of a bright child, by appeal to her intelligence and interest, and never through fear. The Canton (Ohio) Girl Scouts have elected Queen an honorary member of their organi- zation. She is said to be the only dog in the world on which this honor has been conferred and she wears around her neck with great pride the coveted Girl Scout medal. As a rule, I am not interested in the per- formances of trick dogs. Indeed, I make it a rule to leave a vaudeville theater whenever a so-called ‘‘animal act” begins. For I know that many of those acts have been perfected through hideous tortures to the luckless dogs taking part in them. But Queen’s training was different. Also, most of Queen’s stunts are not ordinary tricks, but show a reasoning power and an unwontedly high degree of intelligence. In- cidentally, she is an example of what almost any wise and patient dog-owner can do with his dog if he will take the trouble and time needful for its education. \ (Copyright, 1928.)

My advice to women who are annoyed in this way Its to take the number mously, to t of. the car and send it, even anony- the police, for the authorities, realizing how serious may be the outcome of these unconventional acquaintances, are ever watchful to arrest this type of offender. In New York they are using women de- tectives to check this sort of thing. Recently a couple of automobile flirts invited two girls, who appeared to be shoppers, to hop into their car. Aské@d where they wished to be driven, the women replied grimly, “‘To the Fifty-seventh street police station,’ and be- fore the young men could object a plain- clothes man had hopped on the running board to see that the directions were carried out explicitly. Fifth avenue isn’t the only street in New York that is infested with these automobile pests, who toot their horns invitingly almost every time they pass a woman. Riverside drive comes in for its share of this nuisance, while at night Broadway above Fifty-seventh street is a happy hunting ground for “pick- ups.’’ Two girls were standing on a busy uptown corner in New York one night last summer, waiting for a chance to cross the street, when a big car drew up to the curb directly in front of them, ‘‘Want to take a little ride, girlie?”’ one of the occupants called out, while the other man got out of the car and joined them, ‘“‘Aw, come on, kids!”’ this big, burly fellow urged. Whereupon he seized the umbrella that the prettiest girl of the two held in her hand and with it started to pull her into the car. With clever forethought, she released her hold and the occupants of the automobile sped away with a beautiful umbrella instead of the beautiful girl whom they thought they had secured. In the same neighborhood, which is in- habited largely by .well-to-do people of the upper middle class, a 14-year-old girl, large for her age, was followed a short time ago by a man with a sporty looking car, the sort that entices so many foolish young things. For several blocks he had pursued her per- sistently, brazenly urging her to let him give her a lift. Frightened and annoyed, she nev- ertheless had the good sense to ignore him completely. Relieved when she reached the apartment house in which she lived, she took the elevator to her apartment on the fifth floor, believing that she was at last safe at home, Scarcely had she reached her door than she saw the stranger coming toward her, running up the stairs. He had been bold enough to follow her into the building and had even beaten the elevator. ‘‘Wait a min- ute,” he panted, ‘‘didn’t I meet you in St. Louis?”’ “‘You did not,’’ the child shouted, slamming the door after her, A man who will go so far to annoy a young girl is a menace of the worst sort to society. With him at large, no young daughter is safe. When I see a girl gayly stepping into the car of a stranger who has “picked her up,” l always want to reach out my hand and pul! her back. It is as though she were standing on the edge of a deep precipice and, with that fatal step forward, she is going to plunge into a black abyss. Of course, a girl can always “walk home,” but if one can judge from the experiences that have been related to me by all the girls who have been obliged to do so, this proverbial walking-home stunt is no joke. * * * . ATE one rainy afternoon a girl rushed into my office at police headquarters, terror-stricken. ‘‘There’s an insane man in an automobile outside. He affered to drive me to the subway station when he saw me walk- ing along without an umbrella. No sooner had I got into his car than I realized what a terrible mistake I had made. I don’t. know how I ever persuaded him to bring me here, but I did, and I thought if you’d arrest him it might save some poor girl who was less fortunate than I.” It was a miracle that this young woman had managed to elude this crazy man, for he was a dangerous case and had a bad record, particularly where young girls were concerned, Among those who make.a practice of flirt- ing from an automobile, the flirting taxicab driver is one of the most insidious. There are, of course, many trustworthy, hard- working taxicab chauffeurs whose main ob- ally, saying: 3 Home at last, weary and disheveled from her long tramp Mary E.

The cruising taxicab whose driver, under the guise of soliciting a fare, actually molests women indicates the existence of a vicious condition that imperils decent womanhood and should, therefore, be eliminated. At the recent trial of Robert Whitman, the spurious ‘“‘Lord Beaverbrook,”’ it was re- vealed that at least one of his many con- quests of women, in which he first made love to them and then swindled them, taking their money and jewelry, was made possible because the woman in question allowed him to strike up an acquaintanceship with her. This was his affair with Mrs. Rose Burkin, New York City, whom he defrauded of jew- elry valued at $69,665, which began, it seems, when they met as she was stepping from a bus. Upon seeing her, he greeted her cordi- “Hello, Nora Bayes.” Flattered, no doubt, she permitted him to accompany her at the time, and later gave him her jewels to have them appraised. He never came back. For this particular crime, which was only one of many, he was sentenced in a New York court to ten years in Sing Sing Prison. Several years ago the New. York Police De- partment was obliged to organize a masher squad, consisting of its woman police, in order to handle the numerous complaints that were being made by women who were accosted on the streets and in other public places, most particularly in the crowded sub- ways during the rush hours. These ‘‘mashers,”’ aS men are popularly called who engaged in the delicate art of flirting, indelicately by slyly touching a woman or bringing them- selves in physical contact with her in some Sea Over Seven Miles Deep Echo Measures Show. Depths of between seven and eight miles have been found in the ocean by means of the recently echo-sounding ape paratus, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. This system of measuring the depth of the water s considered a improvement over the former method of a lead which could rarely be usec for a depth greater than five miles. By the echo measure- ments, revised and more accurate charts of the ocean’s floor are being made. They ins dicate that the ‘“‘canyons and valleys” at the bottom of the sea exceed in depth the height of the loftiest mountain ramges on land. Moving Pictures Exhibited on Airplanes.

Is the tall building be- coming impossible for human be- ings to inhabit? There is some evidence to in- dicate that American cities are @bout to call a halt on these tall structures that reach to the clouds and down into the Dowels of the earth. Even the physical limits are being ap- proached. The higher the building the deeper the foundation must go. This is un- derstood, of course. But it is not always so easy to keep on digging to find a solid rock bottom that will sustain millions of tons of concrete, steel and marble. The thirty-four-story office skyscraper of the State Capitol of Albany, N. Y., has dis- covered this to be true. For nearly a year the construction crews have been trying to find a solid bettom to support the great build- ing, and consequently they have been going down, down, down, and the bottom has not yet been reached. More than 2,0@0 concrete piles have been sunk into Capitol Hill, and the bottom need- ed isn’t there. The vast excavation is get- ting deeper and deeper, and in places has not yet approached the tops of some of the con- crete piles which have been driven into the hill. Meanwhile, floors of structural steel are in storage awaiting something stable to support them. . * 7” T HAD been expected that the great office building for the New York State Capitol would be put up in record time, but it has been found impossible to secure a suitable foundation. Some one has told Gov. Smith to solve his problem by ordering the con- tractors to turn the structure upside down and call it a Chinese skyscraper.

Drisgin, at left, portrays a contrast of the ages, prophesying a future so advanced that present tall buildings will seem dwarfed in the eyes of generations to come. Hlarvey Wiley Corbett, at right, an architect who prophesies that cities of tomorrow will be composed of great towers reach- ing to as yet un- thought-of heights. Mr. Corbett, as an architect, shows what he believes New York will look like in 1975. There will be other cities like it—Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, perhaps. ‘““American cities will be composed of gigantic towers,” he says. ‘Pedestrian traffic will be separated on elevated highways from vehicu- lar traffic moving in canals below. ‘‘A big city will be a modern Venice, with motors instead of water filling the canals. The big stores will have two entrances, one below far automobiles‘and one on the second- floor level for pedestrians. Shoppers will be able to walk from store to store undisturbed by traffic. The open park plazas will be lift- ed to a level with the pedestrian lanes and the space below will be used for parking motors. “The step-back skyscrapers of the future will have moving stairs on the outside of the buildings instead of elevators, with facilities for passengers to alight on any floor,” Mr. Corbett declared. ‘“‘There will be air- plane landings everywhere. Artificial light, now in its infancy, will revolutionize our life, turning night completely into day. The cities’ business hours will be twenty-four instead of eight or ten; people will work in six-hour shifts. We shall get our food prob- ably by radio, with convenient radio food broadcasting stations at every corner. The churches will be located atop the great com- mercial buildings, commanding attention in- stead of being buried in nondescript build- ings below.”’ * ° 6 os R. CORBETT bases his prophecies on a lifetime of leadership in designing great buildings and is a world authority, He con- tinued: ‘Buildings will cover entire blocks, reaching in series of lifts and towers to su- preme heights, “Some of the skyscrapers will be a half mile high and will house small-sized cities. Stores will occupy lower floors, Then will come banks of floors devoted to offices, Atop this sectién will be the residential part, floors where those employed in the business dl- vision of the structure might live, School- rooms, churches, theaters and social features will take over the next section of floors, The roof will be used for airplane landings or station stops for air transits to various sec- ; : ri ~ 4 » fe eh; : Tree ae ui mi nbs : wie cs o RS fe oe .

Curran, who is counsel for the New York City Club and members of the New York board of aldermen and himself an au- thority in city activities. | * * . i fAJ. CURRAN sees in skyscrapers the cause of much discomfort. ‘‘There are everyday workers who count their ribs on release from its elevators and the subways that take them to their offices. They must pop out of holes like prairie dogs and move in a line of crawling motors that spit fumes from:curb to curb.” This and other discom- forts are pictured in attempting to go to and from a skyscraper. Maj. Curran continued: ‘‘Now a New York architect announces a building of 110 sto- ries! This inverted spyglass is to rise 1,200 feet in the air, thus outstripping not only Detroit’s effort but also the Hiffel Tower in Paris, which is still the highest piece of con- struction in the world.” In the district of New York between Thir- tieth and Sixtieth streets from river to river there are 71,000 telephone subscribers and 142,000 theater seats; also an annual ar ~~ > Ne ee ek | ea y » ioe SS Di Pe aks a iM, gt ie do ee . ad Cy eens ee s ¢ " . ; , 4 )* he] 2 Ti A DRESS Sk 8 Pte Mi aN RE GEORG PE FO TE ee a ees Poe . al oa tl aes 2 A Ag a yt $27 Bua Sie Ee Cee.

If, for instance, New York keeps on permitting the building of skyscrapers, each one housing as many people every day as we used to have in a small city, disaster must overtake us. When all the people in those skyscrapers start to flow out in the street at approzi- mately the same moment, or within a half hour or an hour, try to get to the entrances of those buildings so that they may begin the day’s business, there must be such over- crowding of the streets near those skyscrapers as must stop traffic and cost every individual involved some part of his time, Time is really the only capital that any human being has and the one thing he can’t afford to lose. The danger of the skyscraper is that in the end, if there is no check upon it, it may cost time instead of saving it. “The greatest trouble with the building of our cities and the general handling of our proposition is that have not referred enough problems to the mathematician. Only the mathematician can figure out the traffic problem, We must build for very heavy and fast movement in our city streets, How? That is a problem for the mathematicians first, and later on for the architects.” The right answer will probably be found only in time, Whether the skyscraper is to endure depends upon man’s ability to adapt himself, and he has never yet reached that limit, we ~ ” ’ * TIWHE physical difficulty of digging into the earth may deter the superskyscraper. Perhaps a great accident will have its effect, for as the new building’s foundations must be dug the old ones must be watched care- fully and frequently a new foundation must be placed beneath the adjoining structure. Such complicated underpining and transfer- ring of loads weighing thousands.of tons ie accomplished in the face of the ever-present menace of flood, fire and ‘explosion. secause of careful planning, the average citizen knows nothing of it. He passes in and out of the doors of the skyscraper, rides up and down its elevators, transacts his busi- ness in its offices unaware that deep down men are transferring the entire weight of the building from foundation to another. Building the Pyramids of Egypt was an ordi- nary task compared with that of burrowing beneath skyscrapers and railways. one Then there is the blasting. Expert dyna- miters who know all about the hardness *of rock hold the lives of millions of people. Going down and still down in order to go up and still up with all space at a premium may have still another effect, some say. Science declares that Mother Nature will re- taliate by giving birth to smaller-sized people that can better get about in elevators and subways and live in the tiny rooms. Even agencies in the cities tell of the call for stenographers “‘that are small.” “That means a compact the agent explains. now employment office, you know,” ‘We get a call for an elevator operator,” one employment agent said, “and the request if for one 5 feet inches or thereabouts. This is in order to fit the elevators and take less room in one.”’ Perhaps some eco- nomic rule of foot-pounds to lift is also taken into consideration. As the controversy goes on between the verticalists, who want the tallest buildings, and the lateralists, who want to spread out, the majority of people must somehow adapt themselves while limits of height and depth are found. » - * «~ HE city of 1975, according to the vertical- ists captained by Mr. Corbett, will have morning papers out on the skyscraper streets at 7 P.

He was not interested in any other lines. Women struck him dumb; he put in most of his time ashore in keeping away fromthem. He was one of the seagoing type of Marines, who go to a ship as privates and stay aboard for whole enlistments, ven- turing on the beach for refreshment and recreation only. Houston was a short, dark Scot, with a golden voice which cantineros in the far corners of the Caribbean will tell you about, and a roving eye and a honeyed tongue that kept his life full of interesting episodes.

They stood presently on the corner of Ful- ton and Willoughby, just abaft the cigar store—two elegant Marines, filling to the eye in their long gray-green coats and shining belts, with a length of sky-blue trouser and the red stripe showing, and their caps tilted just a grain to the left, at the devilish angle the flag-ship’s guard affect. Women turned to look. Sergeant Hook offered solemn warnings, for his friend was dear to him. * * * ‘‘Now, listen—you remember that time in Callao— I told you—” and Sergeant Houston regarded appreciatively the night life of the district. And a creature in a coney coat came mincing around the corner on spurious silken legs. She powdered her nose in the light of the cigar-display and came alongside. “Oh,” she said, speaking exactly into the air between the two Marines, “is this Sargunt Houston? Mr. Sanders—he’s the grandest fella—just gave me a ring is Her voice was the kind that makes a sen- sitive ear vibrate like a fiddle-string, and Sergeant Houston had a sensitive ear. He thought fast. “No, madam,” he said. “It’s old Houston right there—pleastomeetcha—so long,” and he went away from there into the night as a destroyer dives into a smoke-screen, before the stricken Hook could utter a word. It may be added that when Corporal San- ders, pleasantly tired from military vigils on the quarter-deck, came below to turn in, something terrible happened to him; but that has nothing to do with this. Sergeant Hook, somewhat in a daze, was moved off in close convoy. The lady held his arm, and confessed that she just loved Marines. They were all such grand fellas. Knew how to give a girl a good time, they did. Never rowed over a check, the way some fellas do, or got fresh like sailors. A fella had to know her before he got fresh. ‘“‘You know what I mean. I mean if a girl wants a good time, she’s gotta stafid for a certain amount of it, if you know what I mean. And I always say I’ve gotta know a fella before he can get fresh with me —you can’t be too careful, what I mean, And sailors wear funny pants.” The sergeant held no brief for gobs. But after all, the Navy is the Navy, and he cleared his ‘throat raspingly. “Oh, Mr. Houston, nobody ever heard me I just love ry uniform.

I mean to say, it’s a swell floor, and—right in here.”’ An elevated train thundered like a 16-inch shell overhead, and there was a dim door in a dark place, flanked by bleared windows that carried words in tarnished gold, forgotten words, half-obliterated. The sergeant made out “Schlitz * * *” A man with a face like a buzzard leaned by the door and spat; they went in. You passed through a bare and dingy room, long and narrow, with a bar out of the old-time. The brass rail that ran along its foot distressed the sergeant; his people aboard ship kept the wardroom coun- try, and he regarded bright work as im- portant. Behind the bar a weasel-headed yellowish man in a dirty white coat gave the couple a very hard eye, and wrenched a cap from a near-beer bottle for a customer who snuggled against the bar and looked depressed. The girl’s face came under the light, and the functionary’s shoulders relaxed. He grunted, and they went through a door and down a black haAl to a place where lights shone redly through a haze of cigarette smoke, and a nasal piano yielded lamentably to the assaults of a mulatto in a derby.

Very late, they came to one in all respects like the first, only a little deeper, darker, and more cramped.

That last drink, it tasted less like the stuff we put in recoil cylinders than most. An’ I would see more of this bird.” Sergeant Hook was a well-conducted man and abhorred the idea of casual brawls, as do all well-conducted men; his chevrons and his station were a pride to him, but he had had a very unhappy evening and his judgment was clouded by prohibition Scotch. He hoofed it now with zest, and carromed into people. Gert was unable to find any words, and he loved that * * * They sat down, pant- ing a little, and a fellow in a plaid cap stood in the door, both hands in his overcoat pock- ats, and exhaled cigarette smoke, “Lord,” breathed Gert, “it’s Charley, and he’s all hopped up———”’ The little Italian darted down the wall to- ward the piano, the operator whereof was under the piano’s overhang. Sergeant Hook, with the instinct of a man trained to ordered violence, observed, “Pulling the lighting—’”’ Nick Larahan, his eyes narrowed to alits, overturned his table and wrenched at his hip. “Totin’ gats in a hip-pocket, under a coat,” noted the sergeant sadly. ‘“‘This is your New York gunman, hey.” The man in the door had a gun in each hand, and one went off, very loud. The round little Italian barged into the piano; his hand, stabbing at the switch, missed; he bounced off the piano and sprawled on his back, his face still whimsically humorous, with wide- open eyes. The bird under the piano howled. Two bullets spattered into the wall behind Larahan. “Rotten shootin’—that wop was inside of 10 feet——-he can’t hit across the room!”? With a long arm, Gert to the floor behind him, and made self small. Larahan had his gun out at last, a service automatic. But his eyes flickered sideways, and the sergeant saw. “Dam! Bird may side-slip this way. Won't do—line of fire.’’ A bottle was at this guy the sergeant swept him- hand: he measured the distance and threw it. Larahan got it over the ear and his gun clattered at the ser- geant’s feet, going off as it struck the floor. The sergeant reached for it. this— women around; goin’ to get hurt,” and a slug through his sleeve, The individual in the plaid cap was emptying his weapons, regardless. ‘“‘The devil,’’ said the sergeant, ‘‘my number one liberty blues!” In one swift motion he caught up the pistol and shot the fellow through the point of the shoulder. A .45 knocks a man down, anywhere it hits him. This chap subsided against the wall, cursing remarkably in a level, toncless voice. . “Oh, hush up, you!’’ said the sergeant, and kicked his guns away, and noted that the room was clear. Broken window; slats gone; the man under the piano stared pop-eyed and sobbed. Gert cowered in a corner, showing plainly two sets of garters; all the dancers, and the walter, were not. People crowded in; policemen, chaps iu plain clothes, A man in a derby said to Sergt. Hook, “I'll just take the gat, and what’s the big idear?”’ Gert was now all over the sergeant, telling the world that he was her hero. ‘Little row; stopped it,’’ he explained, not being a wordy “Stop somebody’s went service ; eo we es # ny .

He had a gray face and his nose had been broken and cast some points to the tight. Beside him was a round little Italian with remarkably quick, bright eyes; their heads were close together and each spoke soundlessly out of the corner of his mouth. Now they broke off and stared at the sergeant, whose voice had a way of carrying. The piano stopped; there was a certain tension in The Italian put on a look of whimsi- ‘al amusement; the other looked ugly. He pushed back his chair, ‘‘I’ll learn that bozo————”” The Italian remonstrated, with a sort of humorous deference: “Aw, now, Nick—aw, Nick, those Navy-guys—-remember The big man settled back with a growl, and Sergeant Hook felt the short hairs on his neck tingle; he didn’t like that fellow.

But Sergt. Hook was not surprised to see his lieutenant when after waiting here and there, everybody was herded into a bare room where a big man sat at a desk. His lieutenant had a talent for being at places, The big man heard it all, especially Gert. Gert talked. She talked until it was posi- tively indicated to her that she had sald a mouthful. She concluded with the assertion that she was a true woman, not like some of these, you know, girls, and Mr. Houston was her mate; she would stick by him forever. That was when Sergt. Hook, for the first time in his life, laid hands on an officer. He grabbed his lieutenant’s arm and whispered frantically, with cold sweat on his face. “Yeh?” grinned the lieutenant, and spoke nia ye A confidentially to the high place. “It’s all right, lieutenant. Your man here just got in on a private row between our friend Charley, who has the regrettable habit of taking heroin, and Nick Larahan, alias several other things, and wanted very badly indeed.

I gather that your sergeant considered it ought to be stopped, and—well, the marine landed and had the situation well in hand when we got there. We can let—oh, of course!’ And then, very loud and stern, into the stricken face of Gert, “Sergeant, I order you confined without bail.” **Eeeeeek!” began Gert. “Silence! Young woman, you go home!” The lieutenant caught her arm. ‘‘Come on, Got you a taxi.” She wanted to say good-by to her hero; she expressed a desire to share his detention, but the lieutenant was stronger than she was, and she left. Later, all smoking cigars, they said to the sergeant: “You can go. Ain’t there reveille or something? Sure, she’s gone.” “Well, say, can’t you get me out of the back door, like? There’s no. tellin’—she might be waitin’—an God have mercy on old Houston, for I won’t.’’ (Copyright, 1928.)

P.)— Prince Carol of Rou- mania has chosen a particularly appropri- ate refuge from the world in the Chateau d’Ardenne, to which he has retired with the beautiful red haired lady of his exile, Mme, Lupescu, following the upheaval which fol- lowed his visit to Eng- land. The very name Ar- denne is derived from the Celtic word “ardu,” meaning dark or gloomy, and was originally intended to describe what was in Roman times the most extensive forest in Gaul. The region is almost unknown to the tourist, its beauties being sought chiefly by an exclusive few who, like Prince Carol, desire a place of se- clusion, The refuge may be- come for Prince Carol] a virtua] Doorn, com- parable to the estate in Holland where the for- mer German emperor lives in seclusion. For Carol is unwel- come in his own coun- try since he left his wife, the Princess Helen, to live with Mme, Lupescu and re- nounced the Rouman- jan throne to live his own iife. He was isked to leave England for plotting against the friendly govern- ment of Roumania, and France, while it did not move to eject him while he lived along the Riviera, gave indication that it did not welcome him as a permanent resident. The chateau has a melancholy history, It was once a royal hunting lodge, and its great halls could tell many a tale of gay and colorful pageants when noble lords and ladies followed their sovereign from its por- tals to the chase in the dense woods of the Ardennes, for centuries the favorite sporting ground of kings. With the passing of time, it lost its attractions for the royal family, and some 50 years ago King Leopold aban- doned it. A hotel company saw the possibilities of the place for commercial purposes, and to- day the Hotel Chateau Royal d’Ardenne wel- comes as patrons members of the Belgian aristocracy and other visitors from all parts of the world, including a few traveled Ameri- cans who have had the good fortune to ‘dis- cover the remote and hitherto well-guarded Unwelcome in his own land or in England, Prince Carol of Roumania has retreated to Chateau d’Ardenne, in Belgium, with his mistress, Mme.

The old chateau, charms of this region. The Belgian Ardennes are among the most beautiful forests in Europe and appear to have come down to posterity intact from the days of Caesar. Their original character hag been preserved through the industrial af- forestation of the Belgians, whose compul- sory law of replanting has prevented the tragic bareness of those portions of the Ardennes which now lie in France and Lux- embourg, There is still to be found in the Belgian Ardennes an immense quantity of wild game, including red and roe deer and wild boar. Shooting is preserved by the few great landed proprietors left in the country or by the communes, who let the right of shooting to individuals. Wolves were exterminated from these forests in the eighteenth century. | FOR THE BRIDGE.

Why did the movie industry go to Holly- wood instead of to Arizona? This is the gques- tion answered by Jesse L. Lasky, famous mo- tion-picture director, in August McCall’s, who tells how he and Cecil B. De Mille started their first film company in a small barn in Hollywood, using ‘“‘sets’’ borrowed from the neighbors. If De Mille hadn’t taken a dislike to Flag- staff, Ariz., the movie industry might have centered there, according to Mr, Lasky, who describes the early days of the great industry, and says: “In partnership with C. B. De Mille L was producing vaudeville acts. One day, dropping in at a variety house to watch one of our teams I saw my first motion picture. I was deeply impressed with the possibilities of this new entertainment, and when I got back to the office [ said to my partner, ‘Cecil, let's go into the moving-picture business.’ Mabel?’ Charlie “And De Mille, always laconic, answered, ‘Let's.’ “We pored over the map of the United States and the name ‘Flagstaff’ in Arizona intrigued us. It had a romantic sound. I sent Cecil, with the entire funds of the firm, to Flagstaff to start making motion pictures. “De Mille descended from the train at Flag- staff, looked around and saw nothing but three scraggey trees and a flat plain. He turned and climbed back onto the train and three days later sent me a telegram, ‘Have rented a barn ina place called Hollywood in California, for $200 a month.’ “When drifted Portable Loud-Sheaher Set Latest Aid to Foremen.

Burning At your Door ERE, indeed, is the oil burner of which you have dreamed—for which you have waited—a rugged, com- pact oil heating plant perfected. to a point of simplicity, efficiency and economy heretofore unknown. It is the ARCOIL Burner—the result of years of careful re- search, advanced engineering ideas and cor- rect application of scientific principles of combustion. In ARCOIL all of the disadvantages of other. types of oil burners have been eliminated while the best principles have not only been retained but improved upon and combined with several new and exclusive features. The ARCOIL Burner occupies but a mini- mum amount of space, operates efficiently and auto- matically with a minimum of sound, and because of its high pressure atomization, burns but a minimum > of inexpensive fuel oil. Having but three moving parts, all of which are very accessible, it does not get out of order easily so that emergency service is rarely required. See It Burning at Your Door Asa means of acquainting home owners of Washington and vicinity with the many advantages of ARCOIL and its superiority over other types of oil burners with which they may be familiar, we have adopted a novel means of demonstration— right at your door. Without obligation or the necessity of leaving your home you can actually see this new-day oil burner in operation exactly the same as though it were installed in your present hot water or steam heating plant. A phone call will bring our demonstrating truck to your door. Conduit Road and Elliot St. = TEES MAY SS 2 Reeth) a a eee aes eg’ JIN, J!

OIL BURNER NO TOIL---LESS OIL Just Phone The SHULL SALES CORP. ALCO-GRAVURE, INC. New York Baltimore St Louis Cleveland KansasCity Chicago Your Dream of we keyetome Qredoacedal Comes [rue HE ARCOIL Oil Burner is being introduced and backed by The Shull Sales Corporation, a local organiza- tion of high standing and financial responsibility. Mr. Frank Shull, president of the company, is widely and favorably known throughout Washington, where he has been engaged in the manufacture of elec- trical switchboard equipment for the past 20 years. During that period he has built up an enviable reputation for integrity and reliability. In the purchase of any kind of mechanical equipment it is important to know that you are deal- ing with an established firm of this character with a sufficient organization and ample resources to in- sure uninterrupted operation at all times. Mr. Shull has long been interested in the possibilities of the domestic oil burner. His rare mechanical knowledge and ability led him to take over the sale of the ARCOIL only after the closest scrutiny and investigation of its advantages in com- parison with hundreds of other fuel oil burners on the market. So thoroughly convinced is he of the superiority of ARCOIL that he invites the closest investigation by the foremost combustion engineers to substantiate every claim that is made for it. Surveys Made Without Cost Don’t put off your own investigation of the ARCOIL until cold weather sets in. Now is the time to consider the matter of heating your home next winter. Without any obligation whatever, we will be glad to send our Heating Engineer to make a survey of your present equipment and give you un- biased advice concerning your heating problems.

Ly A ATT IR RRP, I, THORN Wr PT FOR THE WASHINGTON POST BOYS AND GIRLS The funitor Post. SECTION OF THE WASHINGTUN POST Playing the Game Square Is Best For Real Enjoyment of Any Sport Dear Post Boys and Girls: So many of your letters tell of your enjoyment of summer sports and games and the joys and anticipated joys of camps and trips. A change of scene and environment is a good thing for every one. Those boys and girls who must remain in Washington are forunate, too, if they live near one of our playgrounds with the well planned facilities for play and games, and of course the bathing beaches and pools are a source of keenest delight these warm days. This is the time of games, too, and we hope many picnics and tramps through the woods. The boys and girls who wish to do well in their school next year will be building up a real background if they get plenty of out- door exercise. Do not loll around too much but keep your minds and bodies busy and you will find you will be cooler. Of course, it is foolish if your work or duties do not call for it to expose yourself too much to the sun in the middle of the day, but do not waste the shining hours in the sum- mer any more than you would in the winter. We hope that our Post boys and girls read a lot this summer—not just recreational books, but § iIinstructive books as well, especially those which will tell you about the history of the country or community in which happen to be and about the birds flowers and soil and rocks. you and We like to think that you play lots of games and play them squarely and fairly, for the habit of playing games thus makes the boy or girl or the man or woman form the habit of playing the game of life fairly and squarely, too. The boy or girl who will “cheat just a little” at a game is very apt to be the one who “will cheat just a little” in the schoolroom, and later in life, in contact with other workers and doers. Get a reputation for honesty and fair dealing in the community in which fate has placed you, whether it be in a mansion or a modest cottage, or whether you go to a public grammar or high school or to a high private one. When you go to camp, and we do 60 hope most of you will be able to go to one this st-amer, remember the Navy motto “For the Good of the Ship” applies to the good of the camp also, and that the boy or girl who does not consider the welfare of his or her entire camp companions and teachers lacks the spirit de corps which makes for valiant and righteous armies of men and women in civil as well as mill- tary life. One of the most important things in all games is to learn the rules of the game, for often the faults of commis- mission and omission in community and camp and school life and in other circles is carelessness in finding out exactly what the rules are. If some of the rules seem unreasonable or hard to obey it is the right of every mem- ber or pupil or citizen to present their case in as quiet a way and with deep respect to the powers that be. This igs the greatest right of citizenship or membership in any body or nation. But while the rule of the club or camp or of the nation, city or community exists, obey it. Law observance means obedience to the existing laws. George priced WASHINGTON, D. C., JULY 15, 1928. Washington pointed this out in his famous farewell address, and added the right of every citizen to seek to change the laws in an orderly manner. EDITOR POST BOYS AND GIRLS PAGE. Winnie Issues First “Extra.” (Awarded $1 Prize.) Winnie Cassidy had inherited his father’s small newspaper just a few short months before Red Bank became associated with the big baseball league, the Six Star. Winnie expected to have a baseball extra every time the Red Bank team played at home, but, after the paper at the next town announced its in- tention of serving the baseball news “hot” to Red Bank, he had his doubts of beating them getting the news out, as they had much more modern equip- ment than he had. He would have to go to the ball park, five miles away, and then hurry back to town to get down to some hard work. The “Bugle” had reporters with automobiles as- Signed to the games The night before the opening game came and found Winnie a bundle of nerves, tired from excess work, and worried about how to beat the “Bugle” printing the box score and the play- by-play account of the game. The telephone jingled nervously to wake Winnie out of his day-dreaming. He lifted the receiver to hear a voice say, “Hey, Winnie, can’t you come to see a person at all?” Winnie an- swered, “I’ve been too busy.” “You sound like you’re worried.” ‘I am, Pat, I can’t figgar how to get the stuff on the game tomorrow.’ Pat’s voice reached him ‘Sur-r-re, an’ don’ you bother erbout that ’ere game. You sit tight in the shop tomorrer an’ leave the reporting to me.” “All right, Pat, it’s a go.” Three o’clock found Winnie seated at the office toying with a _ paper- weight and waiting to hear from Pat. At two minutes after three the phone bell rang. It was Pat calling from a house near the ball park! “Lin-up for Red Bank,” Pat's voice droned over the phone, “Perkins, sec- ond base; Connal, catcher; Jones———” > The old shop had never seen such working and joy going on at the same time for many a year. At five minutes to were on the street; at pulled into the station and unloaded the papers from the Bugle’s office Just a lone, small five minutes to spare! Up the street came welcome person to Winnie's eyes? I'll say he was! Winnie ran down the Street to greet him. “Say, Pat, how could you see what was going on at the ball park and telephone at the same time when the nearest phone is out of the ball park?” Pat smiled contentedly. “I had my field glasses to see the game with.” “How did you see the line-up with field glasses?” “Didn't see it; got it from the manager before the game. Simple, boy, when you know how.” R4LPH DONNELLY (age 14). Garrett Park, Md. Just Writing. (Awarded $1 Prize.) I love to write—sheer words, you know; They laugh, they 8ing, or sigh. They ripple gently—a brooklet’s flow, Or warbling, like birds they fly. again six the papers six the local Pat.

Our Sunday Dinner. (llonorable Mention.) “Now, Dot, I just hate to leave when nae , ( Jane comes to see you, but I must go.” | Then Dot’s mother gave directions about the dinner. “You mieht ask Ruth to dinner today,” she added. So Dot and_LI started the dinner and called Ruth“and invited her to dinner. Well, it was a strange dinner. Dot tried to French fry the potatoes | and they burnt. I fried the meat, and | I fried it so long it got hard as a brick. “Well, we'll have to eat something,” remarked Dot. “Mother makes the most delicious salads, so I'll make one.” So she made the salad. “Hurry, now, there’s Ruth at door; put the bread on the table.” Ruth came in the dining room and we all sat down at the table. “Ruth, won't you have some French fried potatoes?” “Now, Ruth, here is some meat.” “And Ruth,. don't you love salad. Here, this '- the most delicious I ever tasted.” Ruth began eating the potatoes. She made a wry face. “Oh! they're burnt.” “Well, try the meat.” She tried it, but she never ate it, for the simple reason that it was too hard to bite. The salad tasted awful, the. tea was strong enough to walk. Every thing tasted terrible. “Well, the dessert will be edible any- way,” I said. I went to the icebox and took out the ice cream. We happened to have angel cake for dessert, too, but it was stale. MARY JANE BUCKELER. Washington. There Is Alway One Who Loves Us All. (Honorable Mention.) While the roses bloom and the birds the sail by, While the fleecy cloud sails through the sky, While the grass with dew is newly sprinkled, There is always One who loves us all. While the wind is blowing and the rain comes fast, While the lightning flashes and the thunder blasts, Though the day be dreary and the storm seem ne’er to end, There is always One who loves us all. ANITA BRITTON (age 12). 122 East Thornapple street, Chevy Chase, Md. Gloria in Excelsis. (Honorable Mention.) Ali of the earth is His handiwork; Never wonders more glorious than these, The majesty of mountains, The strength of surging seas.

Did you ever take a walk in the fore est before the dew has disappeared, and when the sun is just rising over the hills? If you are a nature lover do not miss your opportunity to do this. As soon as you enter the woods an- other world lies before you. Towering giant trees rustle their leaves, and below you is a floor of brown leaveg and green moss. A wild flower peeps out here and there, while around it @ butterfly or honey bee hovers. If you wish *- watch the little wood- land folks at work, find some moss- covered log to sit upon. Keep your eyes, ears and wits alert, and watch the bustle of life going on around you, If you hear a cheery note, a robin is probably swinging on the limb above your head, or maybe a blue jay scolds from his perch hich in the top of the tree. A chestnut warbler sings with all hig might, trying to impress the shy little female warbler near him. Suddenly @ slight rustle behind you makes you turn, just in time to see a brown rab- bit pop into his burrow. A tiny green snake glides noiselessly through the leaves toward its home in an old decaying stump. Before you can watch it long, a shrill little whistle startles you, as a yellow- breasted and olive-colored little bird swoops to its nest near the ground, This is none other than the little Mary=- land yellow throat, feeding her young. By this time the rays of sun, peep- ing through the leaves, warn you of the time of day. The sun, the wood’s only timepiece, is nearly overhead, so you know you must leave the beautiful forest. A morning spent in the wood- land would teach us more than a year’s study ef our nature books. ELIZABETH MOCDY (age 18). Camp Terra Alta, Terra Alta, W. Va. My Bronze Membership Pin. (Honorable Mention.) I went to the door one day t see If the postman had a letter for me. You can imagine my surprise _ To see a bronze pin before my eyes.

JULY 15, 1928. —_______ THE JUNIOR _»> . POST SECTION PAGE 3 Mary McCarthy, (Age 13). Herndon, Va. Lost in the Woods. (Honorable Mention.) It was early evening but the large trees made the woods look gloomy. The sky, where bits of cloud coyld be seen through the trees, was becoming dark and peals of distant thunder told of an approaching storm. Little Robert heard it and tried to hurry. He had entered the woods about an hour before, but it was evi- dent that he was not making much prograss toward the other side. The woods were fast darkening and the thunder was becoming louder. Robert decided that he was lost and being very tired he sat down to rest and plan what to do. He began to think of his stepfather’s cruel treat- ment of him, and how he had run away from his home that morning before daybreak, having with him only a few sandwiches. A neighbor, lfttle guessing where the boy was going, had brought him several miles, and he had also ridden a long distance with a stranger. When the boy left the stranger he had walked several miles. So he decided to cut through a few fields, and had then come to the wood. Now he was lost. Robert now beran wandering trying to find a stream or something to follow. Suddenly he heard the tinkling of a cow bell. He hurried to- ward it and finally came to the place where a boy of about his own age was driving a cow home. He went with this boy, Jack, out of the woods. He found out that Robert had no and told him to come with him until the storm was over. They reached Jack’s home jst as the storm broke. Jack’s parents were very interested in Robert and after a few a good home for him. The stepfather s00n found him, but because of his cruelty, the Governor of the State gave Robert permission to stay with the people in whose care Jack's had placed him. MINNIE R. F. D. 1, - again, RHODES Dayton, Va. The Thief and the Dog. (Honorable Mention.) A thief came to rob a certain house one night, but was disturbed by a flerce dog, which kept continually barking at him. Upon this, the thief, thinking to stop his mouth, threw him a piece of meat. The dog refused it with indignation, telling him that before he had only suspected him to be a bad man, but now that he had tried to bribe him, he was certain of it. He added that the care of his mas- ter’s house was intrusted to him and he should never stop barking while such a man was about. When any one offers us a present not to tell, we may be sure that there is something wrong. HENRY GARDNER (age 15). Chevy Chase, Md.

She was a very funny contrast to Blackie, who true to his name, was pure black with blazing green eyes. Jolie was a very deep yellow, Graysie was a very light gray, and Goofy was and white kitten. When Blackie was two weeks old, Little Miss was killed by a bulldog. So they were fed with a dropper. When Blackie was three months old he was given to me.

While he was gone, Mother heard a cat mew at the door and went to see what cat it was, and there, blinking his eyes very fast, wet, and licking his fur, sat the long-lost Blackie. I took him in and dried him he has never gone away since. He is fine and celebrated his second birthday on ‘March 11. He and Sheik, our police puppy, play together all the time.

JULY 15, 1928. * ‘ i eee — LADY -— qa -_ . - ¢. -—_ THE JUNIOR POST SECTION —— a _™ THE SOPHOMORE CHEST. ——— — (Honorable Mention.) When Bub, our class president, called @ meeting of the sophomores the night of April 1, we realized that something must be wrong. As soon as we saw her face we knew it. Bub was, as she expresses it, see- ing red, and she was so angry that she opened the meeting without any ceremony ““Girls”’ she said, “those froshes have Made away with out ‘Manual of Rites.’”’ There was a deathly silence. The *Manuai of Rites” was the book in which we kept all our class secrets and the ritual with which we initiated the freshman to Welden. Bub was the originator, author and guardian of the book, and it was her special pride. And to have the froshes in possession of all our secrets!—I shud- dered. It wes too horrible a thought. Finally Marjorie, who is always the first to recover from any shock, said: “How did it happen?” Bub glared. She certainly was angry! “I don’t know how it happened!” she snappea, “but I do know that the ce- dar chest, in which I had locked the manuai, was gone this afternoon. This was there instead!” She passed a note around. signed by “The Froshman,” and on it was, simply. “April Fool!” Most likely it was this note which had so angered Bub, fcr she considered all froshes to be inferior infants, unworthy of any notice save contempt, and to have them thus defy her was too much! We started to plan a means of re- covering the precious chest, but Bub Was SO angry that she refused to plan, and without her master mind we were helpless We tinally decided that we should all shadow some frosh, in the hope that ehe might lead us to the hiding place of the chest ‘For two weary days we shadowed, but thg froshes refused to betray them- selves, and, as Bub was still angry, we were at a loss. On the afternoon of the étarted to follow Lil Hunt, the frdsh president, across the campus. She sud- denly stepped into a clump of bushes and, as I crept up, I heard her say to little Betty Miles: “Yes, tomorrow night, in the cellar. Come aressed up, and don’t forget the Password It’s ‘Cedar Chest.’ ” Then she hurried away, while I, re- @training a wild desire to shout joy- fully, made a bee-line for Southdown and Bub. “Bub!” I cried, slamming the door of her room, “I just heard Lil Hunt It was fourth 1 y-— “Sh———-!"" whispered Bub. I stopped, whereupon she got up, peeked under the bed, the dresser, the desk, the @hairs, the rug, behind the curtains and into the closet, tiptoed to the hail Qe door, and, : .th the air of one who is on the verge of frustrating a plot, jesked it open suddenly. However, no one sprawled over the threshold and, with a relieved sigh, Bub sat down. “Spill it!” she said, in a businesslike voice, so I spilled it. The minute I had finished Jumped up with a yell and what she considered joy As this was her rite every time he got a good idea, I was wnot alarmed. I waited »atiently until she quieted down long enough to unfold ber plan. And what a plan it was! The next night Marjorie, Bub and I went to the cellar door dressed as ghosts. We would like to have had Billy and Jane with us, but we were afraid that the froshies might notice if there were too many. she executed to be a dance of At the cellar door we solemnly ut- tered the password to the beggar who acted as doorkeeper and then we pro- ceeded down the steps. “They don’t even suspect!” I whis- pered to Bub. “When we gave our party we counted to be sure of the number of guests, but these—” “Peggy.” said Bub, “you're tongue will get you into trouble some day.” With that, we entered the cellar. The fitst thing we noticed was the cedar chest—our cedar chest—enshinrined on the laundry table by the door It was surrounded by a group of gig- gling girls and I heard Bub thanking goodness in a whisper that she had locked the chest. Dorothy Miles, who made quite a dainty Pierrette asked Bub if she didn’t think the sophs were dumb. Bub glared at her. but answered” *“Yeah.” Pretty soon ghost stories and she began Now, when Bub ells ghost ‘stories she telis ’em so realistically that your Skin creeps and your heart plays hide and seek. That night she outdid her- self. She had those froshies shivering. holding each other ana their breaths They were really hypnotized, for when I pinched several of them they didn't know it! Bub suggested The light was turned off Thus it was quite easy for Marjorie and me to lift the chest and tiptoe out of the cellar with it. Up the stairs and into the hall we carried it, there to put it down and let in the other sophomores, also dressed as ghosts. Billy and Jane staid out to guard the chest. I posted myself by the switch, twenty sophomores filed in and sat down, each behind a frosh, while Mar- jorie leaned over and tapped Bub on the shoulder. That was her signal. Almost hys- terically she cried, “Suddenly the Hghts ~” telling | went on!” and I pushed the switch, flooding the cellar with light Oh, what a sight to see! Every frosh presented a picture of fear and conster- nation, with bulging @yeS and wide open mouths. Bud gave them a lecture on honesty and advised them to hereafter respect and admire their elders. Then she glided majestically from the _ cellar, while the rest of us filea after her sol- emnly. . CHARLOTTE DUBIN (age 13). 1500 Columbia road northwest My Summer Vacation. (Honorable Mention.) Perhaps it is rather early to take a Summer vacation, as some people Say, but when one feels so excited that he can not wait, what can he do but go on and take it, and that ts exactly what we did. I awakened early one morning last week and looked out of my window. The sun was shining brightly and the birds seemed to add some of the happiness to the world with their SsOngS As I stood there blinking in the warm sunshine ny heart seemed to Jump suddenly with a happy flutter. Today we were to go on a vacation trip to North Beach and were to stay with our friends at their cottage. We were to start out late in the afternoon 50 as to have plenty of time to pack up and get ready, and oh, my, what an excitement there was—each trying to be the first to get ready. After a push here and a pull there to see that all the doors and windows were locked we finally started out. It was a lovely ride through the country. Here we would see a lazy pas- ture boy lying asleep under a tall oak tree, while his sheep were wandering somewhere in the distance On the other side of the road a young dairy maid was carrying a pail of fresh milk on her head, and there again in the distance we would spy horses and cows pasturing on the green meadows. All this made us feel young and happy and made us remember our childhood. We rode silently on, now and then spying a little brook running through the meadows. But wha® is that ahead of us? Could it be the bay or was it only our imagl- nation? Oh, yes; it is the bay; the Same bay to which we were now head- iv With lots of excitement, bumps and jolting, we drove up to the cottage. It was rather late then—9 o'clock, I Should say, but nevertheless we quick- ly put on our bathing suits and ran out for a swim. After much splashing and laughing we were ordered to come out because it was after dark now. We went to bed early that night in order to get up early the next’ morn- ing and take a swim before breakfast. But we were all so terribly excited that we could not sleep and talked and giggled until late into the night. The next morning we awakened at 4 o'clock and while the elders were yet asleep we ran out to bathe. One might think that we have never seen the bay, such a fuss we made over it. That afternoon we had some more company. One of the men, who swam exceedingly well, amusec us with his funny tricks in the water. Up to this time I did not know how to swim, but imagine my surprise when one day, w'thout any one’s help, I noticed that I was actually swimming. From that day I gradually swam a little greater distance and also began to swim under water and float. It was great fun. We held races, caught crabs and minnows and took long walks along the beach. I also found a piece of phosphor from the roots of a tree and it looked so pretty, shining in the dark The rest of the days were spent just as happily, and when it was time to go home no one was too eager to go. With many kisses and farewells we left our friends standing all in a row, waving their handkerchiefs to us until we were out of sight. ; As the old saying says, we came home “hot, tired, but happy” and sunburnt, fo. we really were much darker than when we left. And now, my youthful readers, don’t you wish that your vacation was just as happy as mine} and don’t you wish you were in my place? I just bet you do!

I didn’t notice the fact, but the spring was on the edge of the woods. I wandered into them for about a mile when I smelled smoke. I walked toward the smoke, thinking it was a camper's fire. I came upon the fire and greatly surprised to see it was a forest fire! I tried to run, and while I was run- ning I saw a canyon not far away. AS I started running for it, I stumbled and fell over a dead branch of a tree. The fire was in some parts up with me. I reached the canyon and fell in, stun- ned, blind and burnt. After what seemed to be an hour I came to myself. A man was in front of me. “Water, water,” is all I knew how to say. The man pulled a gun and “I came to meet **meet right me after a little way, but “For Pete's sdke, father where you his af was answer, how far up did you lose the Let’s go in search of the ten minutes “I’m said, “Shut up.” Then, “Where's your cash,” “IT haven’t any,” I answered. “Well, I thought you would help me out, seein’ I saved yer life for you.” “Did you bring me to?” “Yes, I saw you lying in Lucky Can- yon and I poured some water in your face,” he said, tapping his canteen, “How did you get here?” was my next question. He laughed and said, “Il got here the Same way you did, chased by the fire.” “Where is the fire?” I asked. “Oh,” he laughed, “it passed over the canyon. That is why it is called Lucky Canyon. About 100 people have been saved by it.” He started by, Mr. , “Sullivan. Ta, Ta.” I continued my search.for home and saw a city that looked like it. I went there and found to my dismay that it was a city on the other side of the mountain. I walked into the city and saw to my wonderment posted all around the town “$15 dollars reward,” under which was my picture. I didn’t dare go to the hotel for fear the police would take me to jatl. I went straight to the rail- road station and boarded the train. Three minutes later the train arrived in Cripple Creek. I immediately hunted up Sam and he said: “‘Here’s your $10, I found it coming home.” Hereafter I will listen to Sam, JOHN E. STRONG (age 11). 2202 Monroe street northwest. to go. I shouted: “Good- Summer Flowers. (Honorable Mention.) June is the month of roses, And skies of shining blue With showers every ndw and thea, From skies of a sombre hue. They come from a seed of creation, Planted with caring thoughts As example a carnation, Inferior nearly to naught. They start from a seed so tiny, Which soon begins to sprout, Then peeps right through the ground, And a leaf is first to come out, It seems to grow so very fast That it soon becomes quite tall; When it has all of its leaves It’s not a seed at all. The bud then soon develops, And is not at all like a flower But more like a° little ball, Within the leafy bower. The bud begins to open, But the petals in sight are few, It soon forms a beautiful flower, That is watered by the dew. GWENDOLYN WILSON (age 12). 5830 Southerr avenue southeast,
