Then he added a mild re- buke by telling the persistent qus- tioner that he ought not to have in- sisted on an answer. After finishing with the newspaper men, Mr. Kellogg made a pilgrimage to the tomb of the unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe. But he did this without escort and in as simple @ manner as possible placed on the tomb a wreath without name or other inscription. Only a few persons saw the American | statesman in his next act, which was to kneel in silent homage before the memorial. No other distinguished vis- | jior had ever paid this tribute to the ideals to which the place is dedicated. Will Dine All Ambassador Myron T. Herrick was the Secretary’s host at luncheon and after that meal the two went to the gol’ links at St. Cloud. A veil of censorship was drawn so closely over that part of the program that it was mot even certain whether Mr. Merrick was the opponent of his chief on the links. Tonight representatives of the Amer- ican coleny were asked to the embassy to dine with the Secretary of State. One of the principa) affairs of Mr. Kellogge’s stay here will occur tomor- row night. He will be host then at a diplomatic dinner at which all the delegates to Monday’s ceremony will be his guests. Preceding that dinner he js to call om Premier Poincare in the afternoon.

Delegates. Moscow Demands Guarantee, Moscow, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—The Kel- logg pact for the outlawry of war can not solve the problems of disarmament which “indeed can only be solved by a guarantee of peace and safety,” Maxim Litvinoff, Russian vice commis- gar for foreign affairs, declared in a note addressed today to the chairman of the preliminary commission of the Geneva disarmament conference. The note, which requested informa- tion as to why the commission had de- Jayed calling a conference for discus- gion of the soviet delegation’s alternate plan for partial disarmament, intimated that the Russian government had no desire to sign the Kellogg pact. “It is impossible,” the note said, “to ignore the public declarations by the initiators of the Kellogg pact regard- ing the absence of interdependence be- tween the pact and disarmament. At any rate, fhe declarations of the pact’s sponsors again emphasize that its sign- ing can not sdlve the problems of dis- armament which, indeed can only be solved by a guarantee of peace and safety.” China Wants to Sign. | Shanghai, China, Aug. 25 (A.P.).— Commenting on reports from the United States that all other nations would be invited to sign the Kellogg renuncia- tion of war pact after the Paris sign- _ }4ng ceremonies, C.

The gist of the purported Chamber- lain letter to Briand has been pub- lished abroad and cabled to American newspapers. The cables state that the text is to be made public simultane- ously with the signing of the Kellogg treaty. The authenticity of the letter is not vouched for but those who are circulating it say that it is either genu- ine or the cleverest piece of forgery which has appeared in Europe for many years. Chamberlain’s signature is pur- ported to be attached to the letter. Officials here claim to be entirely in the dark and to have no knowledge either of the letter or of any secret entente between Chamberlain and Briand in the matter of the recent Franco-British naval compromise. The fact that the text of this compromise has never been communicated to the United States Government and the in- explicable ambiguities in the official summary of the text which was trans- mitted to Mr. Kellogg have created an to of CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COLUMN l.

Mystery Killing in London Linked to Elephant Curse Famous Mahout Found Slain and Another Injured, As Sacred White Beast, Once in England, Dies at Calcutta; Insulted By Trip. London, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—A mysteri- ous tragedy, which Oriental tradition links with the curse of the sacred elephant, confronted London police to- day. Coincident with the death last night in Calcutta of Pa Wa, a sacred white elephant, said Ali, a famous Mohammedan mahout, was found much mutilated in his quarters at the London zoo. At the same time Sandy Wee. a Burmese Christian mahout, was discovered injured and now lies in a London hospital. He was found under Ali’s window. Even persons least addicted to super- stition were pondering the ancient be- lief of the East that misfortune fol- lows with certain footsteps when a white elephant is taken from its own country. For these animals are sup- posed to be the reincarnation of Buddha, and as such are worshipped by certain sects of Orientals. Two years ago the wet Se white elephant, Pa Wa, on which! the King of Siam had bestowed a title, was brought to the London zoo from the East. With him came Sandy Wee. Pa Wa later was taken on a tour of ; America in 1926 by Sandy Wee and then sent to Calcutta, while Sandy returned to the London Zoo. Said Ali was called the finest ele- phant trainer in the world and he and Sandy Wee lived together in a little room at the zoo. When the tragedy was discovered, a pickaxe and sledge hammer lay beside Ali’s body, mute evi- dénce as to how he was killed. Sandy Wee knew of the legendary curse. Whether he and his companion believed it or not, they knew that many of their countrymen did, and that it was being said even the return of Pa | Wa to his own land could not wipe out the insult of taking him away. Said Ali, because of his uncanny | control over elephants, was brought from India to handle the bad elephant Indiarana, whose temper baffled zoo authorities. The Moslem won over the huge beast from the moment she saw him. The Mahout used to talk to her in a strange tongue and croon Indian songs to her. Both men were known to thousands of children and grownups from every part of the world, for young visitors | Dars | tlons are permitted to ride zoo elephants. H. S.

Minneapolis, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—One person was killed and eighteen injured, one seriously, when a three-car roller- coaster at the Riverside Amusement Park failed to stop at the end of the run, jumping the track in a wooden tunnel, 3 feet from the ground, and plunged through the walls of the structure. Nellie White, 17, died in the City Hospital of internal injuries. Jerry Jones, manager of the amuse- ment device, stated that he had sent Joe Gusler, who assists him in oper- ating the brakes, to look for a purse, which had been reported lost. He said he set the first brake, which Gusler ordinarily operates, but when the train returned the brake failed to hold and was released as the cars sped by. They continued tnto the tunnel for a second time at high speed and two of the cars jumped the track at the third turn in the tunnel. | | | i } | up of| bootleggers | to | investiga- | recent | action | Washington again last night battled a heavy rainfall, Post Staff Photographer.

It may be that it brings worry to Southern and West- ern politicians, especially the former, but his Tammany friends are just as confident that they will be in control of New York after November as they are that the elections will he held then. They have a feeling of security which makes the Republicans shiver when they run into it. And the Republicans incidentally are afraid that if their feeling is borne out by events in No- vember thaf the Demicrats will jerry- mander the State and make Democratic rule long and uninterrupted. With the nomination,of Gov. Smith and his failure to heed the counsel of drys that he soft-pedal the prohi- bition issue these Tammany lights see a return of the party to liberalism.

Along with those of numerous other Washington civic and business organ- izations the voice of the City Club has recently been raised in a call for an “old-time presidential inauguration,” replete with pageantry and magnifi- cence, next March 4. Regardless of which of the major candidates is victorious, the City Club can see no reason why a wet blanket should be thrown over the inaugura- tion next March 4, “The country does not seem to be upon the brink of any great catas- trophe like the World War,” the offi- cial publication of the club states, “and a curtailment of the festivities of a presidential inauguration by the peo- ple of the world’s leading nation on the grounds of economy would not, in these times, meet with popular ap- proval.” . It points out that patriotism is still reckoned an asset to good government, and that the more the people who take an active interest in national affairs, the better for the Nation. To the voters lof the victorious party the President- elect will be a hero, it states, and to ‘ees: citizens of whatever political be- lief, the seating of a new President at Washington will be an event of first importance. Every citizen of the United States should at some time in his life pay a visit to his Capital city, it believes, and the inauguraton of a President presents an opportunity to make this pilgrimage in a spectacular setting that no visitor at this event ever forgets. “Since Taft’s inauguration,” the City Club Tribune points out, “there has been a tendency on the part of newly elected Presidents to discourage the pageantry and manifestation of what Washingtonians recall as the ‘old-time inauguration.’ ” It calls attention to the fact that the candidate who will be inaugurated next March, be it Hoover or Smith, and the latter has express¢d his approval of « big display if he is elected, will have been the focus of public interest during the preceding seven or eight months, and will be the chief news figure in America. “This is a rich country—a glorious country!

Dur- ing a week of hunting for Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer, the aviators who disappeared last Sunday while flying from Cochrane, Ontario, to Mount Evans, Greenland, the only definite fact developed was that a plane be- lieved to be the Greater Rockford passed over two small villages in South- west Greenland last Sunday morning.

Smith’s nom- ination was a feeling on the part of some that it would be best to give him his chance and get rid of the issue which he ralses once and for all. But the feeling in Tammany and leaders is that even if the Governor is unsuccessful this year, he and his issue will be with it until he dies or becomes too feeble for public life. | That is, unless he should be over- | Or, as | some of his most devout enemies pre- cict, the most defeated candidate in tne hiscory of the country. that they Party Shown New Leads, He has shown the party a new way, He had the cour- other leader has | has shown the to do what no To them he the right way. At present it is divided on the ques- tion of following his prohibition issue, but the fact that the governor has injected this issue and held the parry together is, in the minds of his friends, proof of his ability to lead. He must, therefore, they say, be recognized as the leader, regardless of his fortunes this November, until a better leader comes. forward. It is significant that in the discus- sion of a possible capable successor Gov. Ritchie’s name is prominently, if not almost exclusively, mentioned. It is noteworthy in regard to Gov. Smith’s assurance that his prohibition views are not binding upon other mem- bers of the party, that the convention platform is the only exaction of them, that he considers prohibition and farm relief the two major issues of the cam- paign. His chairman, John J. Raskob, thinks prohibition is the issue. The Demofratic organization, perhaps the best that the party has ever had, is keyed up to begin functioning with- out restraint this week. Gov. Smith to Get Around. First, there will be a conference of Mr. Raskob and Senator Gerry with Middle Western leaders at St. Louis. Particular study is to be made at this conference of the situation in Oklahoma where reports indicate the Republicans have the upper hand at the present time. Organization methods are to be dis- cussed and if they do not come up to the approval of the national managers they will be revived, if not entirely new ones put into effect. Gov. Smith, for his part, is to get around quietly a bit in order that people can see him. And he likes, too, to mix with people. His appearance at Sea Grit, N. J., today was a part of that program. His formal speeches are to be held to about 15 places around at strategic points of the coun- try.

Rain Marks Close Of Rockville Fair Fail in Case New York, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Eight hundred Milwaukee clothing workers, now on strike against the firm of David Adler & Sons, are going to work in a factory to be operated by their union, Sidney Hillman, general president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, announced today. The union-operated plant will pro- duce garments on a contract basis for Hart, Schaffner & Marx, of Chicago, Mr. Hillman said, and it will be liqui- dated when the Adler firm is willing to negotiate a collective agreement with the union. The union thus will eliminate, Mr. Hillman said, the drain on its treasury from paying benefits to the strikers. 20 Die Daily in Greek Epidemic; 50,000 Ill Athens, Greece, Aug. 25 (A.P.).— Deaths from the dengue epidemic grip- ping Greece have reached an average 2f 20 a day.

The Rockville Fair came to an end last night, experiencing in its closing hours the inclement weather which had shunned it through the week. The nearly perfect weather score of the fair, its diamond jubilee, is believed to have enabled it to break all records for attendance. The finals in the whippet races, an innovation this year, were run off yes- terday, and proved one of the most popular events of the day. A dog show in the afternoon also drew a large crowd of spectators. The rain of last night slightly marred the closing.

Norwalk, Conn., Aug. 25 (A.P.).—A little Norwalk girl received a_ letter from her daddy on her eleventh birth- day today. That in itself is nothing unusual but this ttle girl’s father is dead. His name was Gray—Judd Gray, and he died because the law demanded his life and that of Mrs. Ruth Snyder | for the murder of Albert Snyder. This little girls does not know all— all she knows is that her daddy is dead and that before he died he prepared & series of leters to be given to her, one on each birthday until she reaches 21. By that time she will probably have learned all about her father’s life and death, but today she was supremely happy because she had received a let~- ter addressed to her very own self and not only that but the letter said that she, and not her mother or aunt, should read it. The letter was delivered by Samuel L. Miller, of New York, who was at- torney for Gray in his fight for life. Neither Miller, Mrs. Gray nor Mrs. Frank T. Brundage, the little girl’s aunt, would comment on the latter as they were unaware of the contents. New York Museum Gets Ancient Indian Deeds Special to The Washington Post. Kingston, N.

FINDS SERPENT (OL IN FORGOTTEN CITY Orientalist Brings Back God of Canaanites, Buried 2,400 Years Ago. BURNED BY _ ISRAELITES ee eee St. Louls, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—A lime- stone idol of the serpent god of the Canaanites, buried for more than 2,400 years under an almost forgotten city in Palestine, is the prize of his recent archeological expedition, Dr. Melvin G. Kyle, president of Xenia Seminary here and noted Ortentalist, said today upon his return. Traces of the serpent cult had ap- peared before in Asia Minor, Dr. Kyle said, but it had not been established that the Canaanites, whom the Israe- lites, under Joshua, smote and destroy- ed, were serpent worshipers. Dr. Kyle’s Arabian diggers came o®@ the fragment of limestone, which Is about a foot wide and 2 feet high, after they had painstakingly removed six strata of markedly differing cultures from the site of Kirjath Sepher, the walled city captured by Othniel, as told in the book Joshua. “Underneath all those layers of Is- raelite culture, we found a blanket of cinders and charcoal,” Dr. Kyle said. “It covered everything. Its meaning was, of course, obvious. The Israelites not only sacked the town, they set it on fire, destroyed it, in order to bufld it anew for themselves. “Everything above the blanket was of the iron age. Everything below of the bronze age. With precious pleces of Canaanite pottery, we found the serpent idol. The upper part of it is gone. Doubtless it was destroyed by angry Israelites. But the lower part shows the feet of a human figure, about which is entwined the serpent god. “We can be reasonably sure now this serpent cult was widespread among the Canaanites. It was a primitive religion with orgiastic rites. We find the serpent god in another form in Genesis in the Garden of Eden. There he ts Satan, the temp- ter. “The great achievement of this summer, next to the idol, was the ab- solute fixation of the date of the cap- ture of the land of Canaan as told in the Bible. The blanket of cinders marked an epoch. We know roughly when tron began to be used in Asia Minor. Our calculations assign 1276 B. C. as the year the Israelites took that Canaan town. This differs from other estimates by as much as 200 years.” Father’s Gun Slays Daughter and Mate Fired in Dark at Quarreling Couple When She Cried to Him for Help. Bath, N.

Dart ran up the road where he saw the couple struggling. As he threw the gun to his shoulder his daughter said: “Don't shoot, father, it’e me.” He heard the cry too late.

The actress flew home in a plane. The whereabouts of Larry Winston, Los Angeles broker, whom she wed in the Mexican resort, remained a mys- tery so far as information from Miss Logan was concerned.

Special to The Washington Post. West Point, N. Y., Aug. 25.—A spark thrown by a hobnailed shoe on the concrete gasoline-smeared floor of No. 1 garage of the Motor Transport Corps at the garrison this morning started a fire that destroyed the garage and all the cars in it. Damage was estimated at $60,000. Among the cars burned was that used by Maj. Gen. Willlam R. Smith, superintendent of the Military Acad- emy. A tank car filled with gasoline caught fire, but an explosion was pre- vented by an enlisted man who opened the taps on the tank and let the fluid burn. About 25 men were in the garage when the fire started, and these were later complimented by Gen. Smith for their courage and quick action. This is the second fire here in two months. A building in which valuable horses were stabled burned in June.

OVERDUE ON COAST Searchers Believe Seattle- Bound Passenger Craft Hit Water in Fog. OIL SPOT FORMED IN SEA Seattle, Wash., Aug. 25 (A-P.).— Anxiety was felt tonight for the safety of six persons in a ten-pasenger cabin plane of the British Columbia Airways which had not been heard from since it left Victroia at 10:30 this morning for Seattle. The fiilght should take only one hour. Lieut. Comdr. J. D. Price, in a naval seaplane, and Clayton Scott, commer- cial pilot, in a pontoon-equipped plane, flew over the entire course of the pas- senger plane without finding a trace of the craft. Coast Guard boats sent out from Port Townsend, midway between Seattle and Victoria, reported they were unable to find trace of the plane and that it apparently had not passed over that town. The plane carried four passengers and two pilots. The passengers were Thomas E. Lake, Far Eastern manager of the Union Oil Co. of California; Dr D. B. Holden, Victoria physician, and Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Scott, of England Harold Walker, veteran air mail filler, was piloting the ship, with L. Carson as assistant. Commander Price sighted a big oil spot on the water near Port Tow nsend which he circled for fifteen minutes without finding a trace of wreckage If the all-metal plane came down on Commander Price said, it would not have been able to float more than two or three minutes. The ship was equipped with three motors, any two of which were capable of sustaining flight. The naval commander suggested that the plane might have flown into the water in the fog. “The fog was so heavy that it blended right in with the water, he explained. “Flying low, as a pilot is compelled to do in such weather, it would be only too easy for him to strike the water.” MAN FAILURE IS BLAMED IN SUBWAY CRASH INQUIRY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. same circuit. was apparently turned as the ‘train, crowded with almost 2,000 homegoers, | was passing over it, not by the train itself but apparently either from the Times square signal tower or from switch valves close to the track.

Men, women and children, dead and alive, were strewn along the tracks: the lights went out and panic seized the passengers as smoke from smouldering fires caused by short circuits rolled through the cars. Every ambulance in the city was rushed to the scene, every reserve in Manhattan was assigned to duty, serv- ice was halted on the entire West Side subway system, street traffic was halted for blocks around Times Squaré, and the city’s entire emergency forces were turned to rescuing the injured and extricating the dead. Deaths May Reach 20. Twenty-four hours after the wreck 31 persons were still in hospitals, many of them having undergone major operations in efforts to save their lives. It was believed the death list might easily mount above 20 as the more critically injured succumbed. In an interview shortly after the transit commission had made its re- port, Mayor Walker, who took an ac- tive part in the early investigating, revealed that the investigators were considering the actions of another em- ploye besides Baldwin. He did not men- tion this man by name, but said he was alleged to have helped Baldwin throw the handle controlling the switches. Test'mony previously made public had said that Baldwin was ac- companied during his work on the de- fective switch only by his assistant, Carr.

OMITH NEAR INJURY AT VAOT GATHERING Tallyho Conveying Candidate Almost Wrecked at New Jersey Troop Review. 200,000 SEE THE INCIDENT Special to the. Washington Post. Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 25.—Gov. Alfred E. Smith came perilously close to se- rious injury here this afternoon when an old-fashioned tallyho in which he was circling the Camp Moore parade grounds nearly tipped over, as the horses suddenly became unmanage- able. Good luck saved him and the other distinguished riders—Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, United States Senator Edward I. Edwards, of New Jersey, and Commissioner Dill, Demo- cratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey—from crashing over with the coach. Scores of thousands who witnessed it gasped in horror as the horses snapped themselves and knocked the tallyho into an “S.” Gov. Smith gripped the front seat, on which he was riding, and Charlie Die, the driver, with both hands and held on for dear life. More than 100,000 men, women and children were packed around the huge parade ground when the governor and his party were driven onto the field. They had progressed several hundred feet when the breath-taking incident occurred. The 102d Cavalry, New Jersey Na- tional Guard, and a number of In- fantry companies were lined up across the field, ready for the review, A great shout went up, signaling the arrival of the Democratic candidate for Presi- dent, when the horses reared and buckled. The driver pulled on the lines with all his strength, slowed the horses to a trot again and then straightened them and the vehicle out. 200,000 Estimate of Crowd. Gov. Smith was taken twice around the parade grounds, every foot of the way an ovation. Then the coach stopped in the center of the field and the cavalry rode by in review under command of Maj. Gen. Quincy A. Gill- more. Aerial bombs several airplanes @iploded overhead as circled about, The ceremony ended, the governor and his party were taken back to Gov. Moore’s summer white house by motor. Gov. Smith only laughed when newspaper men commented on his nar- row escape. “I’m used to horses,” he said. Gov. Moore declared that today’s was “the greatest political demonstra- tion on record.” “We have easily 200,000 people here today,” he said. “Nothing has ever been seen in this State to compare with it. It shows that Gov. Smith and the entire Democratic ticket in New Jersey will sweep the State.” While the review was in progress late in the afternoon special trains were still unloading their throngs. The roads were still jammed with auto- mobiles headed for Seagirt. Bands played dance airs on the lawn outside Gov. Moore’s home while the candidate held a reception on the porch, shaking hands with thousands. Then he returned to Spring Lake for a swim. Nominee’s Car Overrun. The great outpouring could not have numbered less than 100,000. Many in- telligent experts placed it at 150,000, while some added 50,000 to that. Ninety special trains, each carrying about 1,000 people, came in from New Jersey points. Seven steamboats each brought about 5,000. ‘Thousands of automobiles added their quota to the mammoth assemblage. As Gov. Smith approached Seagirt his car had to slow down to a crawl and many times stop altogether. State po- lice and national guardsmen were un- able to hold the crowds incheck. They broke the lines and literally swarmed into and over his car. Women fought with men to get near him. Hundreds of women were screaming his name hysterically as he slowly passed. In his progress to the reviewing DIED Friday, Au ust APPOLD—On 24, 19% aa at her resid ISA BELLA M. Samuel A. and mot Wilbert B. App funeral services at W. funeral home, on Monday, August 27.

THE WASHINGTON POST: All Street Noises of Paris Must Meet Scientific Test City Silenced From Midnight Until Dawn Under New Rules, Harsh Auto Horns Used in Daytime Must Be Musical; Laboratories Fix Standards. Paris, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Silence now rules supreme in “Gay Paree,” often called the noisiest city in the world, between midnight and dawn. In ac- cordance with new traffic regulations. The Parisians also are in a fair way to have musical streets in the daytime, and the heavy traffic centers it is hoped soon will be most pleasing to the ear. The harsh, strident siren call that means “get out of the way,” will be modified into a gentle and musical “please,”” under the police rules shortly to go into effect, which limit all horns to such: as are reasonably quiet and pleasing to pedestrians, Prefect of Police Jean Chiappe this week instituted the silent nights re- gime, banning noise from 1 to 4 a. m. Chauffeurs, however, are ob- serving midnight as the starting hour and for the moment they are scrupu- lously obeying the decree, which also compels slowing down at all crossings. For months Prefect Chiappe had the laboratory of the Governmental Arts Crafts Institute working on the horn problem, Tests were conducted to de- termine the lowest and highest peaks in the musica? scale that should be permitted and also what manner of sound, It was discovered that certain sounds are irritating and serve to awak- en sleepers, while others, much louder in volume, seem to soothe ear. and nerves. The limits and definitions are based on the findings and eventually the chauffeur’s street music will have to be refined in such a manner as to Satisfy tests of.the scientists’ delicate instruments, ORY CEADERS PLAN NOTIFICATION Aiea J.

NIGHT POLICE AT HOME Herbert Hoover is considering a sug- gestion that he deliver a Labor Day speech in Washington, it was stated at Republican headquarters yesterday. If he should adopt the suggestion his speech will be broadcast to all parts of the country. The Republican presidential nominee does not plan to leave Washington again for at least two or three weeks, and in that time he will map out his campaign program in its entirety. Before Hoover went West it was generally believed that he would limit himself to a very few speeches during the campaign. In fact, his managers made an announcement to that effect. But so much has Hoover improved as a campaigner that there is now talk of his making at least three important trips away from Washington. Wide Swing Is Urged. He has been urged to go down to the doubtful border States, to pay a visit to the Just as doubtful States in the East, and then to swing through some of the Northwestern States on his way back to Palo Alto to vote. The nominee has received invitations | to speak from every section of the country, and he is giving consideration to all of them tn working out his pro- gram for September and October. Yesterday Mr. Hoover and his family rested from the strain of their trans- | continental trip, and they will follow the same program today. In the morning, however, they expect to attend religious \services at the Friends Meeting House, 1809 I street northwest.

Four charges of housebreaking were placed yesterday against James Robert Mothershead, 24 years old, and Ray- mond Burch, of Oxon Hill, Md., who were arrested Thursday night after a chase by citizens and police. The alleged robberies extend from December down to Thursday’s episode, according to the police. They charge the youths with entering the estab- lishments of the following: George Cockran, 914 Fourteenth street north- wegt; ‘Bernard Harding, 309 Seventh street northwest; Sidney Simon, 431 Seventh street northwest, and Curtis A. Bell, 1126 H street northeast. Detectives E. E. Thompson and Thomas Nally, who are in charge of the cases, say that Burch told them he and Mothershead used the _ parking light of their automobile as a signal while entering the _ establishments. Burch, according to the detectives, said he would flash danger signals in code by. means of this light to Mothershead, who would do the inside work. |THE DRESDEN Connecticut Ave. and Kalorama Rd.

The monogram “T. C. G.” found on a sheet in the coffin, one witness declared, seemed to be that of the “Transatlantique Companie Generale,” French steamship line.

But no official has encouraged the thought that there might be lurk- ing in the background a private ar- rengement between Chamberlain and Briand inimical to the interests of the United States. The tendency here is to discount the authenticity of the purported Chamber- | lain letter. Ordinarily such documents, if they exist, are too carefully guarded to find their way into the public prints. But a curious feature of the reports concerning the text of this purported letter 1s the fact that Chamberlain is not represented as saying anything which, even if true, would expose his statesmanship to censure. He ts represented as saying that the disposition of the French and British fleets are hereafter to be made known by each admirality to the other, to have advanced ideas as to how these fleets should cooperate in the Far East, in the Atidntic and in the Mediterranean and to have suggested more frequent conferences between officials of the military air forces, &c. The purpose of Chamberlain, as explained in the let- ter purported to bear his siganture, is to more thoroughly safeguard world péace. Coopération by France and Great Britain to unite against an enemy “in the interest of world peace” is described as in harmony with the provisions of the League of Nations. As a rhater of fact, the league cove- nant offers encouragement and not dis- couragement to the first part of this purported Chamberlain program, es- pecially. if it is assumed that Great Britain and France, as the leading members of the league, have the right to pave the way for carrying the league provisions into effect. Under Article 8, of the covenant, “the members of the league undertake to interchange full and frank infor- mation as to the scale of their arma- ments, their military, naval and air pro- grams, and the condition of such of their industries as are adaptable to war-like purposes.” There would therefore be no viola- tion of the covenant for Chamberlain and Briand to interchange full and frank information as to their naval programs and future purposes and this article of the covenant might be made the basis for assigning waters of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the -Far Fast to future Franco-British na- val control. If the purported letter assumed the form of a definite ar- rangement indorsed formally by the British and French governments it might have to tw registered with the secretariat af the league, in accordance to article 18 of the covenant. Other- wise the arrangement would not be considered by the league as binding. But, in no case, would the United States have to be informed of Franco- British arrangements, secret or other- wise, made pursuant to the league - , covenant.

Herr Stresemann in deciding to go despite his illness was prompted by two considerations. One of them was his whole-hearted indorsement of the Kel- log” pact and a genuine admiration for America. The second was the op- portunity of meeting Premier Poincare face to face, in the hope of persuading him that European peace is impossible so long as Germany must tolerate foreign troops on its soil. Even the newspapers which otherwise hav bitterly opposed Herr Stresemann recognized he is facing a situation fraught with grave responsibility and express the hope that he may return with tangible results.

A. Boring Reports Dawn of National Artistic Sense and Urges Creation of Great School at Columbia University. New York, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—America has created an architecture of her own, thereby passing through the first stage in the development of a national art, and is now ready for a great school in which all the arts should be taught with equal emphasis and in proper re~- lation to each other, Prof. William A. Boring, director of the school of archt- tecture of Columbia University, de- clared today in his annual report to President Nicholas Murray Butler. He recommended that this school—in which the College of Architecture would be only one department—be established at Columbia, adding that New York City, “art center of the Western World,” is the logical location. America’s architecture, he says “despite its hard, business-like aspect, already shows a certain romantic tendency which makes its appeal to the man in the street. It speaks of strength, of passion for organization, of desire for convenience, and of as- piration for bigness and extraordinary height. “Now the art of a nation begins with its architecture. The other arts are bound up with it, and partake of the same characteristics of style If we produce a beautiful architecture, it follows that we should have beautiful sculpture, painting, gardening and all cther phases of art which are the mark of a ripe civilization. “Since this coming culture will re- quire the association of sculpture, painting and, landscape gardening with architecture, these arts should be taught together. “Such schools can be seen at the Amer- ican Academy in Rome, the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Yale University and at the Carnegie Institute of Tech- nclogy, and the beginnings are now un- der way in several other institutions which formerly taught only architec- ture.” Sherwood Forest Prizes Won by Washingtonians Three Washington cottagers at Sher- wood Forest last night won prizes in the big costume dance held under the auspices of the Sherwood Forest Club, which was attended by severai hundred cottagers in costume.

Los Angeles, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Determi- nation. of to jury composed mostly of women to try “Pat' Kelley for the alleged slaying of Mrs. Myrtle L. Mellus, today thwarted Superior Judge Fletcher Bowron’s in- tention of completing the panel before noon. When the short Saturday session, featured by the addition of a woman attorney to Kelley’s legal staff closed, eight women and three men had been tentatively chosen for the “Butcher Boy” murder trial. Miss Orfa Jean Shontz, former refe- Fee of the juvenile court and a promi- Hent clubwoman, took her place at the counsel table alongside S. S. Hahn in defense of the slain society woman’s il- licit lover. The prosecution promptly met the defense move and appointed Miss Flor- ence Woodhouse, deputy district attor- ney, to assist the State and offset Miss Shontz’s appearance on the defense line As Hahn - ‘aced his challenges, it be- came evident in the courtroom that Kelley wanted women to dominate the jury which will determine his guilt or innocence of the tragedy in the fash- jonable Wilshire district last August 5. The excitement which attended the gossip expose yesterday quieted down today with the announcement that Mrs. Helen A. Brandon, said to have done considerable pretrial speculating among other women jurors, was dis- barred from future jury service. After ® conference between Judge Bowron and Judge Emmet Wilson, it was cided to bar the juror. defense counsel! All Foreigners Escaped Tropical Storm in Haiti Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Aug. 25 (A.P.).

Chicago, Aug. 25.—A brief morning session of the newly formed National Negro Voters League was featured by the reading of a letter from Armond W. Scott, of Washington, D.

Finley Wilson, pres!- dent of the league, on the stand he had taken in refusal of a committee position as an advisor to the Repub- lican national committee. Scott referred to the league session. which he was unable to attend, as | “holy protest against the indiffcrences and duplicity of a party that we have served for more than 60 years, like a herd of brainless sheep, following blindly leaders whose only function was to lead to slaughter in order to save thelr own hides.

I am further opposed to allowing Tuskegee to dictate to the voters of this country when none con- nected with that institution has the | privilege or right to vote. “"l am with you to the end that we may ultimately impress the Republi- can hypocrites that we will no longer | follow leaders picked by them, but will | select our own, but we must select men | who will let the people of this country know that when the Republican party picks out one amendment to the Con- | stitution and declares for 18 in its plat- | form, which amendment has to do with | the social activities of people, at least | we shall demand that they also déclare their devotion and allegiance to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which not only tend to protect and safeguard us in our politi- cal and civil rights, but are the very fundamental principles on which this Government is founded.” Plan Quiz of Nominees.

Waverly Taylor, general chair- man of the show committee; John R Petty, executive secretary of the real- tors. and Al Stern, show manager, spoke. A. E. F. Horn, president of the Elec- tric League, who has been made a member of the general committee, told in detail of the plans for the concen- trated electricai portion of the show, which will depict everything electrical which should properly go into the modern home, It is contemplated that about 50 kgoths will be occupied with electrical exhibits. One will be the Electric League headquarters booth, where an attractive educational dis- play in things electrical will be shown. Electrical cookery, refrigeration, dish- washing, clothes washing, cleaning, ironing, lighting, cooking with small appliances, sewing, and a hundred other electrical applications in the home will be shown. It is planned to have trained attendants on hand at times to answer questions from practical knowledge and without bias as to particular equipment. C. Phillips Hill, chairman of the Electric League show committee, has called an important meeting of this committee to be held in the offices of the Electric League, 1103 Vermont ave- nue northwest, on Thursday. One meeting of the committee was held on Thursday of last week, and it appears that these sessious will be weekly af- fairs from now until the time the show is nearly under way. Then it will, no doubt, be three or four times a week. Among those assisting Mr. Hill are Ralph P., Gibson, electrical contractor and dealer; C. Melvin Sharpe, executive assistant to the president of the Poto- mac Electric Power Co.; G. E. Wagner, of the Kelvinator refrigeration organ- ization: P. A. Davis, vice president of O. R.

It is not only brought into use daily in pre- paring the family meals but is continually employed for baking and pre- serving. It stands to reason, therefore, that such a necessary piece of household equipment ought to be such as to produce the best results with the least expendi- ture of time and effort. Without question the ELECTRIC RANGE provides the best, the most satisfactory and the most enjoyable method of cooking that modern science offers. No other cooking device is as simple irf operation or as easy to handle. Any desired heat can quickly be obtained at the mere turn-of a switch. Being mechanically con- trolled it cooks automatically without the need of constant watching. You have no matches to strike nor fire hazard from this source—no gases or fumes to con- taminate the air or discolor the walls of your kitchen. ciel 1405 14th St. 1336 Conn. Ave. N.W.

He said he did not know where his wife is, and that he would make no attempt to find her if Mrs. Kanode ‘is unwilling. “I don’t want to do anything against | the mother’s wishes and I won’t go to see my wife without her permission, but I do want to talk to her,’ Acton said.

After luncheon at the hotel party motored to the Maryland Coun- try Ciub, where the minutes of the Baltimore club say that “some played golf and some poker, and so on.” After dinner at the club, a business meeting was held and addresses were made by President Alfred G. Goodrich, of the Baltimore club; President Eu- gene G. Adams, of the club, and Roe Fulkerson, ton, international trustee. of Washing- First District Organized, ganization from the two clubs, and President Goodrich was elected regional director, a title which he seems never to have used, as his correspondence was signed as governor. The Capital district was the Kiwanis district to be organized, there are now 28 other such regional organizations. The first annual con- vention of the district was held on October 4, 1919, at the Emerson Hotel, and was participated in by .our clubs, the Wilmington (Del.) club having the Richmond 1919. The first semiannual convention was held on February 21, 1920, at the Du- Pont Hotel, Wilmington, absence of Gov. Goodrich. At this convention, in addition the first four clubs, clubs participated. to These were October 15, 1919; chartered on January 28, 1920; the 1920; and the Portsmouth club, com- 15.

During the last five years the Wash- ington Club alone has spent approxi- mately $20,000 in its orthopedic and welfare work, all of which expense its 179 members stood sponsor for. The late Franc E. Sheiry was one of the foremost leaders in the _ local Kiwanis welfare work, and in 1924 be- came chairman of its committee on this work. He remained in charge of the work until his sudden death on May 26, 1926.

BAD TEETH HEAD THE LIST More than 90 per cent of children entering public schools last year had physical defects, according to the an- nual report of Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, chief medical and sanitary inspector of the schools, submitted to Health Officer William C. Fowler yesterday. “It is evident that pupils,” the re- port said, “entering the public schools for the first time in the lower grades are seriously handicapped by physical defects urgently in need of correction. “With the present force of medical inspectors it is not possible without neglect of other duties to examine a larger number of pupils entering school. Additional medical examiners and additional nurses are needed in order that all pupils may be examined upon entrance and may be properly fol- lowed up for correction of physical de- fects.” There were 4,701 first grade and kin- dergarten pupil~ subjected to complete physical examination. Of these, 4,283, or 91.1 per cent were charted as possess- ing defects and 418, or 8.9 per cent were reported without defects. There were an average 2.3 defects per pupil. The principal defects found and the per- centage of pupils suffering from each were as follows: Defective teeth, 61 per cent, diseased tonsils 45.6, enlarged cervical glands 25.1, poor nutrition 23.3, defective nose breathing 16.5, defective vision 10.8, anaemia 9.9, chronic nasal catarrh 6.8, skin and parasitic diseases, 4.7, ortho- pedic defects 3.8, nervous system de- fects 3.8, pulmonary disease 3.5, defec- tive speech 2.5, defective hearing 1.9, cardiac disease 1.9 and crossed eyes 1 per cent.

NEWS FEATURES, SPORTS AND FINANCIAL The Washington Post. SPORTS NEWS FEATURES, FINANCIAL AND M WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, 1928. REGIOTAATION HEAVY IN MASOAGHUSE TT FROM NEW VOTER Election Said to Depend on Them and Both Parties Are Running Even. PROHIBITION WILL BE CHIEF ISSUE IN STATE Curtis to Speak in Effort to Hold Large French-Ca- nadian Vote. Special to The Washington Post. Boston, Aug. 25.—Many times has it been said and repeated in Massachu- setts during the recent weeks that the State’s eighteen electoral votes will be won this year by the party which gains the edge in the ‘registration of new voters, which is. now at its height. It is the law that a man or woman who once registers to vote need not reregister unless he or she changes Place of residence. Thus the line-up in the State between Democrats and Republicans is fairly well known at the beginning of a campaign and the activities of those who work to get the supplementary registration com- pleted assume added importance. This year more attention is being paid to this drive than ever before. Notwithstanding the claims of the rival parties, it appears to be generally agreed that so far the two parties are | about tied in the number of new voters | who have been placed on the Iists. Registration Is Heavy. In Democratic centers, such as Lynn | and East Cambridge, the new registra- tion has been heavy. But so has it been in Brookline, Springfield and oth- er Republican stPongholds. Up to the beginning of the present | week the new registration in Boston was in the proportion of two men to one woman. But this has been changed during the week and the women are now lining up in full force. The figures for Boston indicate the heavy registration which may be ex- pected through the State this year. The original list in Boston showed that 200,000 were registered before the time arrived for the new registration to be- gin. This was approximately 18,000 more than the same figure for 1924. During the week as many as_ 3,000 names have been added in a single day. Since registration will continue until October 17, except for a brief period before the primaries, which are Sep- tember 18, it appears likely that the total vote on election day will assume surprising proportions. Aside from the matter of added registration, -.everal campaign issues and the warmth of many contests for State offices, will bear heavily on the way Masachusetts goes in November. Voters Are Independent. The voters of Massachusetts have shown a decided tendency toward in- dependence. The best example of this occurred two years ago when Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, was sent back to the Senate with a margin of 55,@00 over former Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican National committee, while at the same time Gov. Alvan T. Fuller, Republican was reelected over William A. Gaston, Democrat by a margin of 188,000 votes. Despite this it is widely believed that should Smith carry Massachusetts by a substantial vote this year he will carry much of the Democratic State ticket avith him. And on the same basis if there is a Republican sweep in Massachusetts, or if the Republicans hold the control of the State as they did for Harding and Coolidge then the Republican gubernatorial candidate will win and there is a real chance that Senator Walsh may be defeated. Walsh is in a somewhat different po- sition this year than he has been in the past. He has assumed control of the Democratic organization in the State and has received from national headquarters an assurance of no in- terference. In this way he has re- linquished some of the support he had at other times, obtained through inde- pendence and only moderate associa- tion with the party headquarters. Dry Outstanding Issue. As in other sections of the country, the question of prohibition will be the outstanding one in Massachusetts. It will decide the way many votes are cast. While the State is generally as- sumed to be dry by a@ narrow margin, there has never been a clear-cut vote on the subject. In fact, the decision this year will be tempered by an ex- pression of opinion by the voters on the direct question. A move is now under way to have a referendum on the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment by expressions of “public policy” in each of the 40 State senatorial dis- tricts. The prosperity issue of the Repub- licans will not make much of a hit in Massachusetts due to the continued de- pression in almost all the mill cities. Fall River is just getting over a strike, New Bedford is still in the throes of one caused by an attempt of the tex- tile mills to reduce wages, and many of the smaller manufacturing com- munities are in the doldrums. Although the campaign in Massa- chusetts was technically opened this week when the time had expired for tiling nomination papers for the prim- a and for making withdrawals and substitutions, the active campaign will not open until after Laber Day. Curtis to Speak at Rally. The Republican drive will get under way at an outing under the direction of the Republican state committee at Norumbega Park, near Boston, Septem- ber 5. Senator Charles Curtis, the vice presidential nominee, will be the leading speaker. Senator Walsh and the other Demo- crats will not really start their public disc on of the campaign issues un- til October 1. In fact Walsh has an- nounced that he will meke few set speeches this year except over the radio and he will do most of his campaign- ing by literature. During the past week the Democratic women entertained Mrs, Nellie T. Ross, former Governor of Wyoming at a luncheon, and many of the candidates for offices in the State spoke at clam- bakes, outings, teas, county fairs, and other small gatherings but their ef- forts aroused but mild enthusiasm. . Seek Frenth-Canadian Vote. The coming of Senator Curtis to Massachusetts in the early stages of the campaign is regarded as important. It is significant of the desire to hold im the Republican fold this year the Indians’ Vote for First Time By Red Men in Many States. By EDWARD T. FOLLIARD. Among those who marched to the | polls to register out in Paradise Valley | Nev., four years ago was one John Skee- daddle (that really is the name he went by), who, a few months emancipated and of citizenship. Now he was preparing to exercise one of those rights—that of helping to choose the Great White Father. before, given all had been the rights however, Skeedaddle was a pauper. may have heard of Calvin Coolidge and anything to him. “Who’re you for?” | him, | “I just wan to vote for Uncle Sam, 'the redskin innocently replied. somebody asked Indian Vote to Count.

This is to be a campaign, we are that includes the heretofore heard-of Indian vote. Both the Re- publicans and Democrats are going out after it this year, just as they are going out after the woman vote, negro vote, the German vote and the other blocks of votes. all vote, not to mention the red woman’s vote, will extend from the reservation of the Blackfeet in the North to the sunbaked tenements of the Pueblos of the South, and before three moons have come and gone Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith will be the sub- ject of many an old-fashioned pow- wow. What with Senator Charles Curtis running on the same ticket with Hoover and former Senator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, off the Democratic reserva- tion, because of his dislike for Gov. Smith, it would seem that the Republi- cans have the edge on the Democrats where the Indian vote is concerned, but the Democrats are not ‘downhearted. Curtis is descended from a Kaw chief- 125,000 or more French-Canadians are normally Republican, but might be led to vote Democratic this time because of the liquor issue. No small portion of Curtis’ ancestry was French-Canadian. It was in an effort to capture this group two years ago that the Democrats ran former Mayor Edmond P. Talbot, of Fall River, as their unsuccessful candidate for lieu- tenant governor, There are so many contests for places on the State ticket that severe upsets to the party organization may occur there. Although Senator Walsh is un- opposed for the Democratic nomina- tion there is a real three-cornered bat- tle among the Republicans for the right to oppose him. Eight candidates are in the field for the Republican nomina- tion for lieutenant governor. One source of a possible upset comes with the reports of the increasing strength of Frank A. Goodwin, ‘bad boy” f the Republican party, who was removed by the present administration from his post as registrar of mofor ve- hicles for insubordination. Goodwin is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor against Lieut. Gov. Allen, choice of the party organi- zation, and the fight is a_ real one. Whiting Rigid Sabbatarian. The two major political developments in Massachusetts during the past week —the appointment of William F. Whiting of Holyoke, to be Secretary of Commerce and the death of Represen- tative Louis A. Frothingham, of Easton, a former lieutenant-governor—are not regarded as likely to have the slight- est effect upon the national cam- paign. While the appointment of Whiting Was as much a surprise in the State as out of it, it is conceded he is an able man, Aside from having been a delegate to several national conven- tions and taken an interest in affairs in his own district he was not active in politics and never sought political office. He greatly increased the im- portance of the Whiting Paper Co. from the time hé inherited it from his father and he will enjoy the position in Wash- ington because of the honor attached to it and the chance it offers for constructive public service. In passing it may be interesting to note that Whiting is a rigid Sabba- tarian. Although it is the custom among other paper mills to operate from 7 o’clock Monday. morning to 7 o’clock the following Sunday morn- ing, Whiting has always insisted that his mills close at midnight Saturday. And it was only in the past few years, when he was on his way back from a national convention. that Whiting would consent to make any railroad journey on a Sunday. who who told, when every vote will count, and | little- | the | | Is The campaign to corral the red man’s | | population ts Oklahoma, which 1s listed | | | a Ing, a Menominee, who represented Wisconsin in the United States Senate from 1914 until he died in 1917, Representative William W.

Taken as a whole, they are probably the least homogeneous people in America. Each tribe has its own tongue, each its own history and each its own traditions, a condition, it must be admitted, which makes it very hard for the politicians. Latest statistics show that there are approximately 400 Protestant and 200 Catholic missionaries in the Indian field, with approximately 48,000 Indians affiliated with Protestant churches and 60,000 with Catholic churches. There are a large number of adult Indians who have not yet professed Christianity. Made Citizens in 1924. The legislation that finally made all Indians citizens of the United States was enacted in 1924. It was known as the Indian citizenship act and was signed by President Coolidge on June 2 of that year. This act opened the door of citizen- ship to 125,000 Indians. About 200,000 Indians had become citizens prior to that time through various laws. In order to gain citizenship, however, many of them had to give up all tribal affilia- tions. While all Indians are now citizens, not all are voters. It still is necessary for them to pass the various qualifica- tions that have been set by the States, qualifications such as writing or reading and the ownership of property. The chief obstacle to the newly- enfranchised Indians voting in the last national election was “he lack of or- ganized machinery. Most of them live on closed reservations located in un- organized counties where there were no officials to provide the necessary and other elec- vited the Indians to use their polling booths.

Today the Indians are greater in number by 100,000 than they were in 1890, and here are the politicians about to go out and vie for their votes. Later on, sometime after November 6, we probably will have the spectacle of Herbert Hoover or Alfred E. Smith out on the south lawn of the White House receiving a war bonnet and a new In- dian name — perhaps Chief Plenty Ballots. ‘ Lincoln Memorial Lighted at Night reduced to a ‘very He thought of them nomads, hunters and war Illumination of Interior to Continue Until 10:30 o’ Clock. The new interior illumination of the Lincoln Memorial in West Potomac Park, will be kept on until 10:30 o’clock each night, it was announced yesterday at the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, but the memorial will not be open to visitors to that hour, closing at 4:30 in the afternoon as usual. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant 3d, director of the office, stated the new lighting has been arranged so as not to darken the exterior of the memorial by contrast, but to be sufficient to make the statue visible from the outside and eliminate the gloomy, tomb-like appearance the unlighted interior has had heretofore. The interior lighting is accomplished by approximately 125 small lights, each of which is placed over marble panels in the ceiling, and three flood lights installed above the ceiling which play on the statue. Former Greek Premier Bequeaths $50,000,000 Athens, Greece, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Ap- praising of the estate of Stephanos Skouloudis, former premier and for- eign minister of Greece in 1915-1916, revealed him as the richest man in the country. The total was estimated at &@ billion drachmae, which is approxi- mately $50,000,000. The death duties on this will amount to approximately $6,000,000, all of which will go into the government treasury. M. Skouloudis made his money as a banker in Constantinople.

It has not been not rovern- revealed who Is the author of this idea, but it seems to have originated in the highway di- * vision and to have grown out of con- cern for the maintenance of street pavements. It was stated yesterday that the suggestion is certain to come before the Engineer Commissioner before very (long in the hope that he will recom- | mend it to the Board of Commission- ers.

There is at present a traffic advisory But it is an unofficial body composed of delegates from civic or- | ganizations with special interest in | traffic problems. The proposed new board would not have the same func- tion but would undertake coordination within the District government, Capt. H. C. Whitehursst, Assistant Engineer Commissioner, with supervi- sion of the work of the highway di- vision, yesterday discussed points of contact’ between highway work and regulation of vehicular traffic. He said: “One of the major activities of the highway division is. widening of streets. Streets are widened on the theory that traffic arteries are too narrow and more space must be provided for vehicles in which to travel. ‘Yet in Connecticut avenue, where we have widened the roadway, street car loading platforms and safety zones have been installed, but the traffic code has not been amended to prohibit parking at the curb opposite the plat- forms and zones. “The result is that the street might as well not have been widened as far as travel is concerned. The only benefit has been to provide more parking space. Effect on Paved Surfaces, “This condition, too, has a definite effect on the paved surface Narrowing of a roadway at intervals by parked cars opposite a loading zone creates lane, or ribbon, traffic which wears the pavement in strips and leaves it un- used elsewhere so that wear and tear of the pavement is not uniform. “Necessity for more patchwork repair results than would otherwise be the case. Official liaison between the Traf- fic Department and the highway divi- sion could result in effective use of the widened street pavement, “In another class of regulation co- operation could profitably be instituted between the highway division, the Pub- lic Utilities Commission and the Traf- fic Department. This is in the routing of motor buses. “No city can afford to pave all of its streets with surfaces sufficiently strong to sustain traffic of maximum weight. The cost would bankrupt the munici- pality. Pavements must be laid on thicker and stronger bases where there is steady travel by heavily laden. motor trucks. Among the heaviest of vehicles are the buses. “They ought to be routed by the Public Utilities Commission, the Direc- tor of Traffic and the highway division in cooperation. The highway engineer could inform the other conferees which paved streets will and which will not sustain motor bus travel. Parking Another Question “The general question of parking also is one for consultation and of interest to the highway engineer. The life of a pavement depends on its being used. Just as a rubber tire will deteriorate more rapidly if hung up than if used on a wheel, so resilient street surfaces will crack unless constantly traveled upon. Pewhen the sides of a street are always blocked off with parked cars and only the middle is exercised by traffic. the surface contiguous to the curbs will soften with drippings of gasoline *eeee ty oe ~ : y= All Bureau Work Would Be | is | This time it is taking the form of an | with the work of three other municipal | division of the engineering department | with care | of | | the traffic director, separate from every | gated, even by the commissioners with- | heen | come | traffic | superinten- | dent of police. who formerly had con- | ad- | the | Utilities Come. | | | | i | } | ' France, Upper—Secretary of State brank B.

So far as the text of the concerned, or the piedze of the nations not to resort to war—excepting de- fensive war—there is probably not a istatesman .n Europe who really re- igards the pact as more potent in the interest of peace «han The Hague rec- ‘ommendations of 1399 or the.

So it is not pretended iby statesmen or diplomats that | Kellogg treaty provider in its text any | great solace for a war-weary world. Aids Peace Psychology. psychology of the day. the treaty may admittedly have a beneficia! effect just as the “spirit of Locurno” was hailed in Europe as a ~-ign of progress toward peace after -he signing of the Locarno pact. If the peoples o} the signatory nations hail the Kellogg pact as a sin- cere gesture of war renunciation, the interested yovernmenis wil! feel the pressure and the ‘latc of the next war may conceivably be postponed, at least to some extent, by this lategggpeace pact. From the American standpoint there are three factors which are deemed im- portant in- assessing the value of treaties of this character. First. It is not the text of the treaty but the way it is carried out that forms the real test. Since the early days of civilization there have been peace programs enunciated which, if carried out, would have abolished all wars. Second. So far, virtually every peace pact has been ignored when it became sufficiently important to any nation or group of nations to ignore it, and practically every peace treaty has been used by statesmen as a medium of legitimate intrigue for the advance- ment of national interests and aspira- tions. Third. No treaty justifies any weak- ening of national defense, experience having conclusively shown that treaties of this general character are seldom, if ever, honored, if the force behind them becomes so weak as to invite violation. Good Faith Relied On. In the Kellogg treaty, as well as in somewhat similar pacts of the past, good faith on the part of the signa- tories is recognized until the contrary is shown. International efforts to abolish war were primarily based on this good faith up to the time of the League of Nations. The league sought to provide force as the penalty for vio- lation, the league members contending and motor oil and from nonuse will lose resillency and decay. “Perhaps this can not be avoided on some streets. But if parking spaces could be changed from time to time the pavements would benefit. This could at least be done on streets where park- ing is permitted only on one side. The parking could at intervals, be shifted from one side of the thoroughfare to the other. “Some of these measures for con- servation of pavement are being used in other cities.” Purpose of Electrical Member. In the discussions that are taking place in the highway division it is not suggested that the electrical depart- ment be represented on the proposed traffic advisory board but before the plan comes to the attention of the Commissioners, it may be suggested that the electrical engineer be added. This is deemed appropriate by some municipal officials because the director of traffic has to buy, install and oper- ate electrical apparatus in connection with traffic signa | be} 1 in adopted its recommendations in 1899 This internationa: peace effort was hailed with the same sort of enthusi- asm that is in evidence whenever uni- versal peace is discussed. Many Solemn Compacts Agreed To, The high contracting parties solemn- ly agreed to all sorts of solemn com- pacts. Article 1, adopted at this Hague conference, reads almost like the Kellogg antiwar pact. as possible, the resort to force in the | relation of states the signatory powers | But as a contribution to the peace | agree to use their utmost endeavors to secure the peaceful settlement of ternational differences.”’ The contracting powers agreed to do | away with gas bombs, to promote limi- | tation of armament “for the enlarge- ment of the moral and material well | being of humanity,” to submit disputes | to arbitration and to compe] humane methods of warfare. All of these solemn compacts were, with few excep- tions, swept aside when the World War broke out, each nation taking the posi- tion that the other nation was to blame for starting the violations. In short, the whole structure of The Hague peace plan collapsed as soon as the stern necessities of actual war arose. The next caentributions to world peace, and ones which foreign states- men regard as real contributions, came with the Bryan treaties for the ad- vancement of general peace. There is a growing belief that the name of Will- iam Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State in Woodrow Wilson’s Cabinet, will go down in history as one of the most practical contributions to the peace cause. “Cool Off” in Bryan Treaties. The crux of the Bryan treaties signed between the United States and Great Britain, France, Italy and nearly a score of powers is found in article l. which is as follows: “The high contracting parties agree that all disputes between them, of every nature whatsoever, other than disputes the settlement of which is provided for and in fact achieved under existing agreements vetween the high contract- ing parties, shall, when diplomatic methods of adjustment have failed, be referred for investigation and report to @ permanent international commis- sion. “And they agree not to declare war or beging hostilities during such inves- tigation and before the report is sub- mitted.” This treaty, providing for a cooling- off period, would in the opinion of many statesmen have effectively stopped the World War at its inception, Nations, it is pointed out, can agree to postpone the actual beginning of hos- tilities without any sacrifice of national honor, no matter how acute the con- troversy may be. And postponement of actual hostilities for a month or a few months would, it is generally con- ceded, mean peaceful settlement of practically all disputes, Would Have Halted World War. Few, if any, statesmen believe that Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany an.. Austria wuld have plunged the world into the most disastrous war in history if there had been a cooling-off process of a few months when actual hostilities were imminent. On the other hand, diplomats ex- plain, none of these nations would have violated the Kellogg antiwar pact when they went *o war, because each nation claimed it was waging a war of defense, and wars of defense are permitted un- der the pact. The German Kaiser ral- lied the German nation to war on the ground that the fatherland was being attacked and that defense of Germany 44°64 4:22 ’ | sion of her | servative, Orient-trained | an The | pene | article | It | | states: “With a view to prevent, as far | have a partly American outlook. the | in- | WOMEN OF CHINA DROP OLD TABOOS.

An informal interview with Mme. Chiang, youthful, vivacious, speaking English with hardly a trace of an ac- cent, revealed to the Associated Press correspondent that she takes very | seriously her role of interpreter of the West and its arts and ways to her con- husband. As an alumna of Wellesley she has outlook much like that of an in- telligent, cultured young American woman. She enjoys tennis and swime- ming. The music she loves best is that of the violin of the West, not the squeak- ing fiddle of China. Favors American Movies. Her acquaintance with western litera. ture is extensive and intelligent, and one gathers that her true intellectual recreation is found there. She con- fessed a liking for the American movies and goes to “the pictures” frequently when living in her residence in the French concession in Shanghai. Mme. Chiang’s taste in Occidental literature runs to biography and his- tory. “I like to know what living people do and think,” she explained. “IT read what’other men who have been beset by my husband's problems have done, and I like to go to the sources of their inspirations.

Mme. Chiang had a Christian up- | bringing, both in China and in the United States, and she has retained her affiliation with the church and | close interest in the Y. W. C. A. She expressed the hope that “the misunderstanding between our revo- |lutionary armies and the Christian | missionaries, who have done so much for our country. will soon be at an end and that the missionaries will con- tinue their useful work in China.

The French and Rus- sians mobilized to defend their respec- tive countries against attack. Great Britain joined France in defense of the British Empire which was in danger of being attacked, and Germany in- vaded Belgium as a measure of defense on the theory that her enemies were going to violate Belgian neutrality to attack Germany. . The Bryan treaty with Great Britain was signed at Washington September 25, 1914, and proclaimed on November 11 of that year. The Bryan treaty with France was proclaimed on January 23, 1915, and the Bryan treaty with Italy was proclaimed on March 24 of the same year. War to Prevent War Permitted. Although force has so far not been employed by the League of Nations to compel observance of the covenant, article 10 provides a weapon whereby league members may go to war, if nece essary, to prevent war. This article states: “The members of the league undertake to respect and preserve ag against external aggression the terri- torial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggres- sion or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.” As the Kellogg pact has no provision for enforcement of its terms, there has developed a tendency among certain European statesmen to minimize the importance of the pact unless the treaty is to be linked with plans for limitation of armaments, particularly naval disarmament. Seen as Naval Arms Link. This has prempted the fear in naval circles here that foreign statesmen may be preparing to resort to their time- honored practice of using peace treaties for their own nationalistic ends and that the present pact may be ~ linked with naval armament limitation plans in the hope of assuring Britain of naval supremacy without challenge by the United States. ° It is understood here, however, that the Kellogg treaty is not regarded as having a relationship to American re- quirements for 10,000-ton cruisers. It is furthermore believed that when British, French and Japanese statese men realize that America is not wille ing to merge the treaty with naval dis~ armament plans, these statesmen will be more inclined to accept the Kellogg pact—whether they are impressed with it for its own sake or not—as a peace gesture based on good faith and hoped-for observance of -the peace spirit that prompted its negotiation, seeereeee ee eeretear

Mallory 4 Defeated 6-2, 7-5 Veteran Star Passes From National Play After Hard Sets. $2 Minites Required| for Elimination of Edith Cross. By F. G. VOSBURGH (Associated Press Sports Writer). Wills. the queen, and Helen Ja- eUbs, who has been videly hailed as the crown princess—swept through to vic- tory in straight sets today to.enter the fina] round of the naticnal title tourna- ment where on Monday they are to fight it out for the championship. It was just another romp for Queen Helen ot Berkeley, the champion, in winning her semifinal match from Edith Cross, another sturdy young,.Cali- fornian, 6—0, 6—1l1. But Miss of Santa Barbara, underwent a ing test of stamina, courage at the hands of the veteran. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, of New York, before she finally emerged victorious, 2, 7—5. It was in a memorable marked the rising of a new virtual setting of the old, that Jacobs asserted the supremacy of youth over the experience and incomparable fighting spirit of the sun-tanned Mrs Mallory, who came out of the North- land some thirteen years ago to win the national championship no less than eight times.

Mrs. Mallory started well, taking a 2-to-1 lead in the iirst three games, breaking dow. Miss Jacobs’ service both times, once at love. But the determined young Californian was just getting un- der way she began putting everything she had into ¢.ery stroke and went into the lead nevi: to be overtaken. With a run of five straight games, two of them won without loss of a point, she ran out the set, 6—2. Reeling off 9 points in a row for two love games at the start of the second set, Miss Jacobs appeared headed for speedy victory. A break through her service came in the third game, how- ever, and then the veteran added two more games to lead by 3 to 2. The fourth game, strangely enough, had been the first she had won on her own service. In the sixth and seventh games each player pierced the other's delivery. The next two went on service, and still Mrs. Mallory was leading, 5 games to 4. Then something happened. Whether through nerve strain or the toll exacted upon sinews and muscles by Mics Jacobs’ ceaseless peppering of the base line and corners, Mrs. Mallory fell into a run of the most disheartening errors. Once in the tenth game’ she fanned the air, missing completely a base-line shot that would have fallen certain vic- tim to her deadly forehand a year or two ago. The point tied, and Miss Jacobs won the game.

YOUNG, SIDE from getting a good drench- A ing, the 6,000 or more fans who turned out at the Clark Griffith Stadium to witness the double-header between the Nationals and the Indians yesterday certainly were given a good run for their money. Honors were di- vided by the two teams, the Tribe taking an exciting 10-inning opener, 14 to 9, and then dropping the night- cap contest, 4 to 3. This second clash was ruined by a heavy downpour with two dead in the home eighth and, as neither team had scored in the in- completed frame, it went on the rec- ord books as .a 7-inning contest. rhe opening encounter was a slugfest pure and simple, with Sam Johes, Bob Burke, Milton Gaston and Fred Mar- berry dividing the home pitching du- ties, while Willis Hudlin, Bill Bayne, Verne Underhill and Joe Shaute toiled ,on the mound for the visitors. Twice the Nationals came from behind to uvertake the pace-setting Indians but, when the latter hopped on Marberry for 3 runs in the tenth, the best the home gang could do was to come close, Lioyd Arthur Brown was Manager Harris’ starter in the second contest and he turned in an exceptionally fine performance, allowing but hits over the 7- inning route. Portsider o But for some excruciatingly painful fielding by the Nats in the third inning, which let Cleveland overcome a 1-run lead and become 2 up, he would have been credited with a shutout. George Grant, who drew the Cleveland assign- nent, did well for three frames and then blew up, giving way to Mel Har- der in the fifth Every type of play in the baseball book, except a triple and catcher’s balk, was shown during the afternoon, In addition to the usual singles and doubles, bunt and air sacrifices, thefts, passed balls, wild pitches and hit bats- CONTINUED ON PAGE 17, COLUMN 4, BETTER THAN NONE York A.

White Sox were painful visitors at Shibe Park this afternoon and they ruined the Athietics’ opportunity to pick up another game in their battle for the pennant by heading the Mackmen to an even split in tw» games, whiie the Detroit Tigers were handing a similar dose to the New York Yankees. The impolite guests from the West rose in the closing innings of the first fracas and rudely turned a 3-to-0 triumph for the Athletics into a 9-to-3 conquest for themselves. The Mack- men won the second game by the emphatic count of 13 runs to 4, but that first one hurt. Defeat in the opening fracas is di- rectly traceable to Howard Ehmke's 1928 working schedule of seven innings to a ball game. Howard was a good pitcher over that part of the conquest. He held the fractious enemy to three hits and nary a run, but when he was not allowed to punch the clock after the end of the seventh, he proved just the same that his working day was over by helping the visitors to four runs. Mose action Grove was hustled into to suave what was possible from the fray, but the men who were left on the bags by Ehmke crossed the plate despite a mirac- ulous play by Joe Boley and Lefty’s whiffing of genial Bill Barrett. Then, as though to add insult to injurv, the White Sox pounded Grove and Lefty Yerkes for five more runs in the ninth, Thirty-seven thousand fans, making a full house, looked at this sudden turning of the tables and registered their opinion. Their disappointment was the keener because upon the score- board was flashed the figures of the licking the Detroit Tigers handed to the Yanks. The customers enjoyed the slugging their heroes showed them in the sec- ond game and thrilled to the sock of the batting lumber against the curving spheroid, but, as the scoreboard told the news of similar actions on the part of the champions, the edge was taken off their pleasure. Still, the rooters admitted it might have been worse. Their idols didn’t gain CONTINUED ON PAGE 17, COLUMN 3.

He has lost three. The score in round figures was 7 to 0. The Yankees were so completely pusillanimous in the first game that Huggins shuffled his batting order for the second game. He shuffled it more thoroughly than he has ever shuffled it before, and added a few vords of caustic comment.

NDICATIONS are that before the United States engages in the 1932/ Olympics man individuals and bodies interested in sports will come to the front and demand a complete revi- sion in the method of selecting the track team as well as the manner in which the coaches and trainers are chosen. In the opinion of W. L. Gates, for- mer Central High School star and later of Georgetown University, it was noth- ing short of a calamity that, with all the track material obtainable in our colleges, universities and schools and, with the showing made during the last few years by certain runners, United States was able to gather to itself only one first place in the run- ning events.

M THE WASHINGTON POST: -_ ee SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, . 1928. “COLOR” IS AID TO STARDOM IN MAJOR LEAG UES ce | aa Clicking’ Turnstiles At Parks Ruth, Cobb pease Pa as Compared With Hornsby, Gehrig. Bluege’ s Ability Often Overlooked Due to 99 Lack of “Color. By FRANK H, YOUNG. UCH has been written from time to time abou. “colorful” ball players, and fans often have asked just what this “color” is. As a Matter of fact, it is an undefinable “it” which makes one player, of per- haps less ability than another, stand out. Personality might be a _ better term, for “color” is something supposed to be seen and,as applied to a diamond ‘star, “color” is an invisible something “which is felt by the fans and which iraws their attention like a magnet. In the big leagues today there are a Mumber of “colorful” players. while there are just as many who are, per- aps, their equal mechanically, but who go about their work in such a quiet, unassuming way that they are not given the credit which is due them. Probably one of the most “colorful” Players in the history of the game is the veteran, Ty Cobb, now with the Mackmen. “Color” seems to simply ooze out of him and even now, with his career nearing an end, he still re- tains it. Tris Speaker, on the other hand, was possibly as great a player as the “Georgia Peach” at the heyday of his career, but he lacked the “it” ‘to give him the full credit his doings mer ted. Walter Jonson, great as he was, Was not what may be termed “colorful,” although his excep- tional success over ‘twice the length of the usual pitcher's term, coupled with his record and unas- suming manner, has made him one of the best loved in the profession. Little Wid Matthews, on the other hand, although unable to win him- self a major league berth, haa plenty of this mythical “color” and Was the cynosure of all eyes while covering the outtield for the Na- tionals for a short time. George Herman Ruth, the sultan of awat, undoubtedly is the most “color- ful” star of the game at present. It is mot altogether his ability to break home-run records which makes him the | darling of the fans, but it is his base- ball personality which keeps their at- | tention riveted on him. The cash cus- | tomers get more of a thrill seeing Ruth | fan than they do watching Rogers Hornsby, a great player with no “color,” make a home run. Lou Gehrig’s case is proof that Ruth’s home-run activities are not re- sponsible for his “it,” for the big Yan- kee first-sacker gave the king of clout ® real race for four-base honors last year and is second in the league this eeason; yet the fans hardly give him a tumble. The answer is that Columbia Lou lacks what Ruth has. Of course, some colors are glaring and hurt the eyes—such as that of Earl Smith, with the Pirates when the Nationals met the Smoky City team in 1924. The Buc catcher had too much of it, and this probably is one reason why he was waived out of the league and later signed by the Cardinals. . On the Washington team today is a player who, because of his lack of “color,” plays a steady game day after day and yet gets only about half the credit to which he is entitled. You no doubt have guessed the answer—Os- wald Bluege, third baseman. This quiet, unassuming lad, not . yet 28 years of age, is now playing his seventh season with the Harris- men. While home fans frankly ad- mit that he is a fine player, he goes about his business with so lit- | team in case of infleld troubles, | field | play Only Rookies of Promise Are Being Sought by Nats ‘Quality Rather Than Quantity Desired, Says President Griffith—Braxton and Uhle Ex- pected to Stage Mound Duel Today. By FRANK H. YOUNG. eb UST because we've failed to sign up a flock of players for next season does not mean that we won't have some likely-looking candi- | dates lined up,” President Clark Grif- fith said yesterday in discussing his 1929 plans for strengthening the Na- | tionals. “We want quality rather than | quantity,” the Nat owner continued, ‘and Scout, Joe Engel is now busy as |a bee combing the minor leagues of the country. Fans need not worry about us. We'll have plenty of new material on hand next spring and it will be above the ordinary, too.” In this connection, Griffith com- plains that there is a dearth of 2 od young “ivory” in the bushes this year, as most of the present minor league stars are cast-offs from the majors—a type of player in which the Harrismen are not interested. The Sabbath offering at the Georgia | avenue stadium this afternoon will be a single game in which Garland Brax- ton is expected to draw the pitching assignment. Braxton looked like a mil- lion dollars his last time out and should cause the Indian club swingers plenty of trouble. He likely will be opposed by George Uhle. the Nats,, who need it if they hope to do any advancing in this series as, winning today and tomorrow, sible for them to jump all the way up| to the first Givistos.. Pitcher Bobby Burke was charged with a balk in the second inning of yesterday’s opening contest, but he was not to blame as First Base- man Joe Judge discovered some- thing wrong which the umpires did not see and yelled for the lanky southpaw not to pitch after he had started his delivery motion. While yesterday’s rain made the Nats’ stadium look like a swamp, the field ts well will be played provided there heavy showers later than noon today. In the hope of further protecting his ager Harris in worked out practice at the short- before Sam Rice and Joe Judge certainly contest. third, took advantage of long wind-up and _ “stole ease and, a moment later, The former, on the fiinger’s home with Judge nego- | tiated a delayed steal of second. | | by | it is pos- | | | for | of the frame Summa raced to the fence drained and club officials stated | last night that this afternoon's game | are no | Man- | | hard one that | showed up Pitcher Hudlin in round 3 | 'of the first teams were flooded 'ment of the | was Manager Harris and Peckinpaugh did some “master-minding” itn the Nats’ sixth of the first game, with the former getting the better of the duel. After Harris sent Tate to the tee in Burke’s place, Peck put Bayne on the mound tn place of Hudlin. The Nat leader then called Vate back and sent Kenna, a right handed hitter, to face the new southpaw pitcher, Kenne then signiled home which temporarily knotted Biuege evidently respect .in the run the score. instilled lots of the Indian minds by his three hits which drove in as many runs in the earlier innings of the first game, for he was purposely passed with Goslin on first and only one down in the ninth. After both runners had advanced on Cronin’'s out, Underhill instructed to also pass Reeves, | filling the bases and putting it up to | Fred Marberry. Peck’s dope worked |out all right, for Marberry forced Reeves on a roller. “Sam” Langford, Tribe's left-fielder, wrenched his knee while rounding third in the tenth inning of the first game and had to be carried off the field Charlie Jamieson, former Nat, relieved Victory is particularly necessary for | him and centinued through the night- cap performance plays were made three innings of the second game, Two came tin the allen second, Judge and Brown furnish- ing them.

Meantime, Vic Sorrel, the Tiger twirler, was a mystery to the Yankees. until the ninth, and Dickey doubled singled to give them runs, and three useless tle fuss that he is hardly noticed, unless he happens to make an er- ‘por. While voted a fine fellow by his mates, his disposition is such that he never indulges in “horse play,” and they, too, more or less, take him for granted. Other teams, however, rate Bluege well up. One of his timely hits or some of his great stops and pegs, which go on a line to first with a “simple twist of the wrist,” as the magicians say, have beaten them too often for them to overlook him, and in the base- ball fraternity he is rated at just about the top of the heap among the hot- corner guardians. Bluege came here in 1922 as a short- atop from the Peoria Club of the Three- Eye League. He failed to make the grade and was sent to Minneapolis of the American Association on option, being recalled the following season. He was shifted to third base, and, with only a few exceptions, has played there ever since. In 1923 he beat “Doc” Prothro in the battle for the job, and has been the Washington regular there ever since. | “Noisy,” as some of his mates call him, rates much higher on defense than he does on attack, and ever since he joined t Nationals has been a sensational fielder and only a fair hit- tér as averages go. However, he has the happy faculty of being able to hit in the pinches, and consequently is a much better man at the plate than the, stick figures indicate. -He generally can be counted upon to end the season around the .270 mark, which, while not high, is not what might be termed low. While here for a short time in 1922, he hit only .197 in 19 games. He finished that year with the Millers with an average of .315. , Returning to the Capital City the following season, his rating was .245 in 109 games, an for the next four seasons his averages were .281, 287, .271 and .274. His figures for this season to date are .290. As a fielder Bluege always has fin- ished near the top of the heap. Last year he was second only to Willie Kamm, of the White Sox, and indica- tions are that he will beat out the Chicagoan this season, for he is hav- ing one of his best years, due to the fact that his eyes are better than ever as a result of his “swearing off” from auditing work last winter. _Bluege may lack “color,” but Presi- dent Clark Griffith is authority for the statement that he is likely to be seen doing business at his old stand for ny seasons to come.

The University are to meet at 12:45 o'clock at avenue and Grant road The second game went along on an even keel for three innings with Elam Vangilder pitching against Waite Hoyt and nobody doing any scoring. Then all of a sudden, the Yankees went at the ball as if they would tear off its cover. Combs tripled. Gehrig doubled. Ruth tripled. Meusel tripled. It was an old-fashioned eruption, Not often does one see four hard hit balls than those four, all inte various parts of center field. That was all Vangilder could stand. They took him out and brought in George Smith, who somehow finished the inning, escaping finally with the bases full. The Yankees made six hits and four runs that inning and had ten men up to bat. Thereafter Hoyt felt easier and pitched better. Smith did a good job until the seventh, when Dugan singled, Gehrig walked and the Babe pounded one into the stands. At this point the game was halted, and while nothing was going on but the water-proof covers, the customers walked out. There were not many per- soms remaining when the game was of- ficially called. 7AME, lew York. iCombs, cf. os ie Toenig Ss uth rf. : Gehrig,1b.. Meuse! ag Detroit. 4 w Targrave,c.

His three hits were responsible for as many runs in the first game, while he also propelled another over the plate in the second. Besides, he turned in any number of sparkling flelding plays.

Swell’s double gave the tribe this marker back in the fifth and it became 3 up by _ registering again in the next frame on singles by Lind and Summa and two sacrifices. Then the Nats knotted the count, using the lower portion of round 6 to mold a trio of tallies, the ingredients of which were Judge’s opening double, Bluege’s safe bunt. and one-basers by Reeves, Ruel and Pinch-hitter Kenna. A double-play killed the rally Gaston relieved Burke, who had picked up where Jones left off after the latter's poor first, and the Indians wel- comed him like a long-lost brother, molding two runs from ae safety by Lind, two suicides, on one of which the batter was safe on a late peg for a force-out, and Summa’s liner single to center which scored both runners. Faber, in the meantime, had also felt the urge of the hook, as the boys in the profession referred to the Summons to get out of the box. A run In the first inning, a big cluster of four in the third and another tone One in the = sixth proved that it wasn’t Fabet's day. So the spitballer was removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh, and then ujiace their first look at young Ed Walsh, Notre Dame alumnus and son. of a noted pitching father. The Athletics just about knocked the stuffings out of this scion of the Walsh They banged him for two runs in shot at his of- in their second ‘fellow has to have more than a his- “2 ' tcric monicker to fool a slugger. In the home half of this “lucky” frame, the Harrismen again kKnot- ted the count, Bluege singling Rice and Goslin home after they had walked and advanced on dJudge’s sacrifice. Held to seven hits by Ted Lyons and Tommy Thomas in the first game, the Mack hirelings went out in the second affair and feasted with their bats until they had made seventeen hits. The big- gest glutten was Max Bishop. Max stood at the plate and fed himself with two doubles, a single and a three-bagger in five helpings. Al Simmons didn't ex- actly starve, with three singles, and there were three others who bumped the ball for two hits apiece. When Autrey singled with one down in the eighth, Marberry rushed to the rescue and performed brilliantly until he faltered in the tenth and was hit hard. A pass starter the trouble for him and a suicide and singles by Burns, Harvel, Autrey and Langford did the rest, giving the Indians three runs. The Nats, who passed up a fine op- portunity of winning the game in reg- ulation time when three were left as a result of as many passes, two of which were intentional ones, made a fine bid in the extro frame, but. their efforts fell short by. one. Kenna opened with his third single of the day and advanced on Barnes’ out. When Rice became a stroller, so did Underhill, who gave way on the hill to Shaute at Peck’s suggestion. Judge singled Kenna home and Rice to third and a wild pitch’ let Rice score and Judge take second. This put it up to Bluege, who already had pro- pelled three mates home. He tried, but Harvel snared his long drive after a hard run to deep left center. Chicago. Mostil,cf. .. Hunnef'd.2b Metzler.rf.. Shires,lb..

HICAGO, Ill., Aug. 25 (A.P,).— Hack Wilson, pudgy Cub out- fielder, clouted his twenty-ninth and thirtieth home runs of the season. The score was 7 to 3. The victory over Boston carried the Cubs to within one game of the second-place Giants, who dropped another game to Pittsburgh today. Wilson's first homer came in the sec- ond inning with none on base, ac- counting for the Cubs’ first score. His second dropped over the left-field wall in the fifth inning, scoring two mates ahead of him. The circuit clouts increased his lead in the National home run race. Brand‘ was the victim of both blows. Cuy- ler also aided the Cubs’ cause by a homer in the third inning with one on base and it was off Brandt’s de- livery also. Boston. Richb're,rf. J.Smith.lf..

Alabama Hopes to Re- gain Leadership in South. By ARTHUR A, HEYWOOD. S the leading football teams, East, West, North and South, start preparations for the forthcoming season, the fans are beginning to won- der if the dominating teams of last season will continue to do so through- out the various sections of the coun- try. In the East last season, nothing was more surprising. than the collapse of Lafayette and Brown, two teams which rated among the strongest during the 1926 campaign. The accompanying schedule lists the leading games each Saturday during the coming season and the accompanying table, lists all of the games that the leading local teams will play. Though beaten in an g2me by Georgia, Yale showed power for the remainder of the sea- son that it and Pittsburgh, unbeaten until it lost its West Coast clash with Stanford, were regarded as the two greatest teams of the East. Though unbeaten during the regular season in the East, Pittsburgh was held to a 0-0 tie by Washington & Jefferson. Army and Princeton were rated just below Yale and Pittsburgh and then came New York University, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Washington & Jefferson, Penn State, Pennsylvania and Navy. early season such In the South, Georgia early recognition by its 14-10 vie- tory over Vale and continued throughout the season undefeated and in the running for the inyth- {cal Ponepronship of the country until its final game with Gieorgia Tech, which it lost by a 12 to 0 score, In the Southern Conference, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Vander- bilt and North Carolina State emer- gel unbeaten, but North Carolina State was the only team whose rec- ord was not marred by a tie game. gained In the Midwest, ‘Notre Dame producea another powerful eleven, but it failed to gain much national recognition due to the fact that it was sound! y beaten by Army, while, in the Big Ten Confer- énce, Illinois came through the season unbeaten and was rated by some parti- San followers, as being the leading team of the country. Minnesota, in producing its greatest team. was IIli- nois’ chief rival, but was unfortunate in running into a tie game with In- diana. Ohio, regarded as one of the strongest teams of the conference at the start of the season, failed when put to the crucial test and declined in power. In the Missouri Valley Conference, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Oklahoma Aggies were the strongest teams; Texas A. & M. and Southern Methodists dom- inated in the Southwest Conference; while the University of Southern Cali- fornia, Standford, Idaho and Wash- ington, were the strongest elevens of the West Coast. Stanford’s record was not clean, however, due to the fact that it played the University of South- ern California to a 13-13 tie and lost to St. Mary’s, the team which pro- duced the All-American center, Larry Bettencourt, and to Santa Clara, while Southern California was beaten by Notre Dame, 7 to 6. As the season approaches the fans are wondering if Alabama, the South’s leading team of 1926, can regain its former position; whether Yale, Pittsburgh, Army, Dartmouth or some other eleven will hold sway in the East; and whether Illinois can hold its posi- tion for anothe: year in the Mid- west against such powerful teams as Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Northwestern and Chicago. The latter expects to regain some of its prestige of former years. A glance at the leading games dur- ing the coming season reveals the fact that one or more gridiron classics are listed for almost every week of the season. On September 29 most of the big schools have only warming-up games, but from October 6 until the end of the season a schedule of sec- tional and intersectional games such as will please the most exacting has been arranged. One of the first big clashes to at- tract an unusual amount of interest among Eastern fans undoubtedly will be the Notre Dame-Navy game on Oc- tober 13. On this day Yale plays Georgia and it is a safe wager that the old Eli will not be caught off guard this season. On October 20, California and South- ern California will clash on the Coast in a game which may indicate che strength of the Far West teams; Geor- gia Tech and Notre Dame meet in the south; several Big Ten teams draw keen conference foes; Missouri meets its first hard test in Iowa State; while Carnegie and W. J., Army and Harvard, Dart- mouth and Columbia, Penn and Penn State, Yale and Brown and Princeton and Lehigh meet in the East. On October 27, Penn and Navy, who play at Philadelphia, will draw consid- erable local attention, while Yale and Army will also settle their argument the same day. Thus it will be through- out every week of the season. American, C. U., G. W. Grid Prospects Bright Just another fortnight and football _ at Catholic U., George Washington and ' American U. will be in full motion at ' these three institutions. Coach Mc- | Auliffe will start his gridironers at C. ' WU. about September 10, while activity » at the other two schools will begin ' shortly afterward. > . A new team will have to be built at ' C.

Coach Springston’s troubles at Amer- an University will be to develop a dy line to hold up with the fast field built last season.

This will be a tre- mendous advantage in the condition- ing of the Scarlet Hurricane, and the varsity athletes in Morgantown, as elsewhere, are taking the opportunity to go through some preliminary work- outs, that they may report in good condition when camp opens for the Mountaineers on September 1. Washington Gridmen On Chicago Schedule Chieago, Aug. 25.—University of Chicago football rivairies will extend from coast to coast in the season of 1929, Director A. A. Stagg announcing tonight that the University of Wash- ington, of Seattle, would close the Maroon season on November 23 at Chicago. The renewal of the famous Princeton series was arranged earlier in the year. the first game to be played on November 2, 1929, at Princeton. with a return game at Chicago in 1930. The Washington contract at present is for one year only. Washington, coached by Enoch Bagshaw, is the first Pacific Coast conference team to come east to play a Western Conference team on its home field. Stagg was the first “Eastern” coach to invade the West, for he took his championship Maroon Team of 1894 to the coast to beat Stan- ford. Although the Chicago coach has always bean a leader of the movement for intersectional contests, no Far West- ern team has since played Chicago, although every season has found one or more intersectional games on the Maroon schedule, Chicago’s 1929 schedule, though still incomplete, is already one of the hard- est in the country, for in addition to the Eastern and Western rivals, Indi- ana, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Illinois are already scheduled. Penn State Gridmen Assemble Next Week State College, Pa., Aug. 25.—Prospec- tive candidates for the Penn State Football Team this fall were sent notices this week reminding them of the opening practice of the training season and cautioning all that report- ing promptly is essential. The first practice is scheduled to be held a week from today. Approximately 50 men are expected to report, about the same number that donned uniforms at the first practice a year ago. The Nittany Lions will have nearly four full weeks in which to prepare for their first opponent of the sched- ule, Lebanon Valley, on September 29. The Annville Team provided the op- position in the first game last year also. Following this game the Lions will play seven games on successive Saturdays, meeting the same opponents as in 1927, with the exception of Notre Dame, which replaces New York Uni- versity. The final game of the sched- ule will be with Pittsburgh on @hanks- giving Day. ISHERWOODS ENTERTAIN. The Isherwood A. C. will entertain the strong Rockville A.

EXINGTON, Va., Aug. 25.—Wash- L ington and Lee football mentors will put the Blue and White squad of 46 men through the initial fall practice on Monday, September 3. In view of a rather inconsistent season in 1927, in which the Generals failed to stop leading State rivals after winning from cther strong elevens, every effort will] be made during the early weeks of practice to mold a machine which will successfully endure during the strenuous ten-game season ahead. Nine veterans will be lost to Coach Pat Herron, all having graduated from the university last June. Former Capt. “Horse” Tips, mentioned throughout the vear as one of the outstanding guards in the East and finally receiv- ing All-American mention, will leave a difficult hole to fill in the forward wall. Fisher, the ~ 200-pound tackle, and Laytham at center will also be missed in the line. Especially severe was the loss of ends, Spotts, Dorsey and Eigelbach having worn the Blue for their last time. Howe, Stearns and relay, of the 1927 backfield, will leave vacancies which must be filled. Indications are at present that the other letter men of last fall, ten in number, will report at the opening practice in September. Capt. Fitzpat- rick, of Roanoke, all-State tackle, is expected to be one of the most bril- liant linesmen in the South—this ex- pectation being justified by his per- formances of the past two years. Bill Hawkins, giant tackle of 1927, Groop and gs ingee guards, and Snod- grass, rs gat all capable linesmen y will be the nucleus of Vs Bae | Sproul is the only wingman of last year who is eligible, although Towill and Bailey, monogram men of 1926, who were unable to participate last fall due to injuries, are expected to be available for service on the flanks. In the back field White and Barnett, both varsity full backs, are returning, while at the half back positions Coach Herron will have for use two capable ball carriers with considerable varsity cxperience in Lott and Eberhart. Many promising men are also coming up from last year’s scrubs, who will contest with the letter men and sophomores the various positions. Among the linemen will be Streit, Madison, Moss, Hostetter, Southerland, Holstein, Martin, Mc- Ginnis, Hughes, Bear, Spivey, Jen- kins and Bauer. Potential back- field material of this class include Cohen, McIntyre, Fish, Alford, Jones, Litman, Taylor and Schmitt. Several dependable performers are expected to be developed from the 1927 fresh eleven. Thibodeau, yearling cap- tain, and Faulkner are both triple threat men and will probably see serv- ice during the 1928 campaign. Jacobs and Mellon are also due to yive the veterans competition for the back field berths. From the freshman line of last fall, Williams, Crenshaw and Day. ends; Stemmons and Tiller, tackles; Devine and Stillwell, guards, and Her- bert Groop, center, are all potentially varsity material. There will be changes in the coach- ing staff. J. P. Herron, former All- American end at the University of Pittsburgh, will continue to serve in the capacity of head coach. He will be assisted by W.

LO Special to the Washington Post. Bethlehem, Pa., Aug. 25.—Although several weeks interrene before college opens, the athletic fields at Lehigh University were not entirely devoid of activity. Many athletes, among whom were the fourteen prominent football men, attended summer school and took advantage of every opportunity to get outdoors and limber up. Coach Austy Tate, by setting the opening practice for September 10, will have charge of his men for two weeks before classes start, and muck of the work in grooming for the launching of the season will be done then. Little time will be lost in limbering up and ground fundamentals or in mapping out a system, for much of this work was completed in the two weeks of strenuous spring practice. The fresh- men who become eligible for the .eam this season will resume their work where they left off, for last year the varsity mentor coached an undefeated freshman team. The loss of Charlie Zhnow, a star back of two seasons ago, was a severe blow to the backfield prospects. In the spring work Zehnow was groomed as a running mate tq Art Daidowitz, star back last season, and the two made quite a formidable pair. Temple U. Footballers Train at Atlantic City Philadelphia, Aug. 25.—The Temple University Football Team, which, emerging from comparative obscurity, was one of the gridiron sensations of last year, will leave this city on Sep- tember 4 for two weeks of intensive preseason training at Atlantic City, in preparation for one of the toughest schedules it has ever faced. The Temple Owls, under the tute- lage of Head Coach “Heinie” Miller, former All-American end at Penn, bowled over all opposition last year, excepting Dartmouth, defeating such formidable rivals as Brown and Buck- nell. This year they face stiff con- tests with Western Maryland, Geneva, Villanova and Bucknell. Coach Miller will take with him to the seashore 24 seasoned veterans and 15 promising newcomers, who have attained envia- ble high school football records. Prior to this year the Owls have been train- ing in the mountains of Pike County, Pa., and the shore conditioning is an innovation. HESS VS. FIREMEN. Hess A. C. Tossers will play the Jef- ferson Firemen today on the latter’s diamond at 3 o’clock. Hessmen will meet at the Virginia Avenue Play- een at 1:30 o'clock to make the p +t dates to the Old Line institution. Central will fall in line about Septem- ber 10, with Eastern, Business and ~ Western slated to begin Spent the same week.

TWO DOUBLE-HEADERS FOR SENIOR CLUBS TODAY Games to End 2nd League Series Brown-Wood Plays Aztecs and Hart- fo: d Nines. Games Important to All Teams; Auths Are Scheduled. 4 HE Capital City League senior se- ries will wind-up with today’s games which will see two double- headers played. The Brown and Wood and Hartford Nines figure in the bulk of the pro- gram, meeting each other this after- noon after.engaging teams earlier in the day. Brown and Wood is scheduled with the Aztecs on Diamond No, 3, at Il o'clock, while at the same time the Auths and Hartfords will come to- gether on the North Ellipse. The Brown and Wood and Hartfords will then engage each other in the after- noon on the West Ellipse at 3 o’clock. One other game is scheduled but it goes down as a forfeit. with the D. J. Kaufmans getting a win at the ex- pense of the Palace Nine. As was the case last Sunday when double-headers spotted the schedule, t*> pitching departments of all of the clubs concerned, and especially the Brown and Wood and Hartford Nines, Will be tested. A left-hander’s battle ls likely in the Brown and Wood-Aztec encounter. Here “Lack” Ensor will oppose “Lefty” Palmer on the mound. Both have proved bulwarks of : Strength to their respective clubs during the entire schedule which gives eyery reason for an interest- ing duel today. Against the Hart- fords the Virginians will probably t bank on Howdershell, who hurled several early season games before tnsop signed with the club and became the mainstay, The Hartfords will be up against it in its two games. With only one capable pitcher in Thompson the club ls in a quandary as to how it will get by. Going on the strength that the Brown and Wood tossers will de- feat the Aztecs, the Hartfords figure they can advance within a half game of the Brown and Wood Nine if they can beat the Auths in their meeting. In order to do this Thompson would have to be used and the chance to Overhaul the Brown and Wood Nine would be lessened because of no pitch- er. Thompson will probably start against the Auths and will be taken out after several innings to rest for the Brown and Wood batters in the Madden, an infielder, who has been thrown into the breach on several occasions, will then have to hold the Auths while his teammates bat in the runs. Whatever the result, the Hartfords will be in there fighting as their play during this second half series has been a complete reversal of that in the fst half when they failed to win a contest. If the Hartfords can match pitching with batting they might cop their two games today, but they will be up against a tough assignment es- pecially as Rhoades and McCracken are ready to serve them for the Auths in yhe morning clash. Silver Spring Engages Phoenix A. .C. Nine The Silver Spring Nine will entertain the Phoenix A. C. today on the Wheaton diamond at 3 o'clock. Francis, who hurled against Chevy Chase last Sunday and allowed three hits, will probably be on the mound for Grubb’s team. Manager Furr is undecided as to who he will start for the Phoenix A. C. A. B. & W. Busmen Face Cherrydale Nine for Title The A. B. & W. Busmen and the Cherrydale Nine will resume their series _ today for the Arlington County cham- pionship when the two meet in the second game on the Arlington field. The Busmen won the opening game last Sunday. Due to the fact that several of his players are away, Manager Duetermann, of the Busmen requests that Cunning- ham, Purvis, Show, Beechem, Harrison, McQuinn, McPherson, Sheffell, Hull and Laycock all report at 2 o’clock. ‘Peerless Insects Win As Donohue Hurls, 8-4. Joe Donohue, pitching his first game “fo: the Peerless Insects, held the War- wick Nine at bay yesterday, while his teammates batted out an 38-to-4 win in the Monument Grounds.

Semipro Basketball League Planned Here A new basketball league Which in a great measure will take the place of professional basketball which was taken from Washington fans season when the Palace Club was sold, will be formed this fall if the plans of Lewis L. Hogewood, business manager of the team under George Marshall, materialize. His plan calls for eight or ten of the leading teams of Washington and vicin- ity to compose the league. Chevy Chase, Hyattsville, Alexandria, Bethesda and possibly Annapolis will be repre- sented in addition to one or two Wash- ington teams. The Company F Team, at Hyatts- ville, one of the strongest in this vicin- ity, and Jim McNamara’s Jewish Com- munity Center Team are _ prospects. Mr. Hogewood is head of the Chevy Chase Laundry, Inc., and tion would sponsor a team in the pro- posed league. W eek- Day Wain Play For Alexandria Title Alexandria, Va., Aug. 25—Arrange- ments were completed at a meeting held Friday night and attended by managers of five of the contending for a week-day series of games for the city title. The series will open Wednes- day, and a double knockout system will | be used to determine the winner of the city series. Robert McDonald, Billy Wood and Raymond Peverill were selected as um- pires for the series, and it was decided to use Corbett’s Field for the games, semi-pro teams, which will Stadium. The result of the drawing for first- round matches was that the Legion- naires will meet the Virginia Service Co. in the opening game at Shipyard Field Wednesday. Thursday the Police and Postoffice Teams will play, the M. P. Hustlers drew a bye, but will meet the winner of the Legion- naire-Virginia Public Service game on Friday. No game is’ scheduled for Saturday. TRIALS FOR OLYMPICS HINDRED U. S. TEAM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15. play at Baggett’s the close of the preceding track season, at which time a contestant’s mental and physical strength is waning, is wrong. Many have contended that this country, by holding so many elimina- tion meets, in reality holds the Olym- pic over here and by rushing the men om board a steamship, going through several useless days of training on the way over, and about a week of daily training preceding the games is too great a strain and that the runners are stale and weary, physically and men- tally. In emphasizing the fact of over- work, Mr. Gates takes the case of Hahn for exanmiple. He points out that Hahn competed each week and sometimes twice a week during the indoor season, and then during the outdoor season until almost the close of May. In each he equaled the world’s record or ran witnin a fra tion of a second or two of it. Mr. Gates points out that after this strenuous grind Hahn was called upon to compete in the final Olympic tryouts, without a break in his training and when successful boards a ship only to train while going across and at least once a day in Amsterdam. He contends that such a prolonged season of competition was too much and that the runners should have had at least one month’s rest before train- ing for the Olympics and at least three weeks at Amsterdam to become ac- climated. “Those in charge were either very much disinterested in the team or ob- livious to the punishment being in- flicted unnecessarily upon the partici- pants through the troyouts,” Mr. Gates declared. Many contend that the team should be chosen on the past performances of the men who aspire thereto which would allow those selected a much- needed rest. A movement now in the mind of Brig. Gen. Palmer A. Pierce, president of the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation along the lines mentioned above undoubtedly will receive wide- spread support when launched. Though he would never commit him- self, it is known that Coach John O. O'Reilly, of the Georgetown team, was very much opposed to the manner in which the athletes were chosen which may have had much to do with the declining to accept a position as coach on the team.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. ‘AUGUST 26, 1928. OLP AGAIN WINS WESTERN AMATEUR GOLF TITLE ovotny Bows To Coast Golfer Chicago Player Bows, | 4 and 3, to Port- land Star. Bohemian Is 7-Down: on 19th Green but Fights Back. By BASIL G. WYRICK (Associated Press Golf Writer). OB O'’LINK CLUB, Chicago, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Defeating three star golfers from the Pacific Northwest was just a trifle too big a job for Gus Novotny, of Chicago, especially when the last of the trio shot within four Strokes of par for 33 holes. So Frank Dolp, of Portland, today became Western amateur golf champion for the second time in three years by defeating the fighting Lllini, 4 and 3, after the Chicagoan had downed Bon Stein, of Seattle; defending title holder, and Dr. O. F. Wiliing, Pacific North- west amateur and open champion, The former captain of the University of Ilinois Golf Team did not give up & i held | be notified to submit their club handi- announce. | ment soon to be issued it will be stated | the | without a terrific struggle, although his | ragged game in the morning put him | 6 down and he was seven bad when Dolp took the with a birdie. Then the sturdy young holes to the | nineteenth | Chicagoan | of Bohemian race bent his back to what | proved to be a hopeless task. But made the best of it until, after halving Or winning thirteen holes straight and cutting the lead to 3 up, he finally be- came conscious of the precarious posi- tion and missed a 30-inch putt on the thirty-third green to lose the hole to Dolp’s eighteenth par. to say nothing of 7 birdies the Portlander had. Novotny had taken 8&2 strokes on the first round, while Dolp with an excellent 73, despite a poor six on the ninth, played championship golf in every department. He was outdriven at times by Novotny, but his irons and putters worked to perfection, except on two holes. He pitched stony to the pin on the 165-yard fourth for a deuce, Novotny | conceded a birdie at the long fifth where he missed two shots and he chipped in from the apron of the green | at the 17th for a birdie 3. Novotny sank a 7-foot putt birdie on the long eleventh but he| missed several of even shorter scope, | found traps and rough and approached | inexactly. He lost three holes in a row beginning at the fourth, but cut} the lead to two up at the ninth. His birdie at the eleventh left him one) cown, but he then lost three more | straight to be 4 down and dropped the last two holes of the round to be six down. He was a different Novotny he emerged from luncheon. The game of seven up did not suit | Gus after losing the nineteenth and | after halving the 20th. He took the 2ist with a par. The 22nd was salved in par 3, and he got a birdie four on the 545-yard 23rd, but Dolp sank a 12-foot putt for a half. A birdie not proving good enough fcr a win, Novotny tried an eagle on for a | when | the 495-vard 24th and that succeeded, | although nothing less would do, for Dolp got a birdie. | This disconcerted Dolp for a time, and he took thr e shots to get out of a trap at the twenty-fifth green and lost to a par, but was still 4 up. They halved the next two, both getting one abov> par on the twenty-seventh, Despite this slip the Chicagoan had reached the turn in 34, or two below par, while Dolp, with a bad 7 on the twenty- fifth, was only 38. Still playing like wildfire, Novotny got his first lucky break at the 596-yard twenty-eighth, where his pushed ap- proach hit a woman in the gallery and stopped on the slope of the elevated green, and he chipped dead for a half in par. They halved the twenty-ninth, and the Oregonian, who had not won a hole in ten chances, pitched inside Novitny at the 200-yard thirtieth, but Gus putted within 4 inches of the cup from 35 feet, while Dolp was even closer from 15 feet, and they halved in par 3. Novitny finally cut Dolp’s lead to 3 uz, at the thirty-first, where Dolp got in two traps and took 5, but he could get no better thar half at the thirty- second. This made the thirteenth hole that Novotn:, had either halved or won, ana he seemed to have a sure half on the 415-yard thirty-third.. Dolp got down all right as usual, but Novotny, after hesitating on the putt longer than is his custom, putted the pellet right by the cup and gave Dolp the hole, the match and the title without more ado. Navy Netmen Advance By League Victory The Navy netmen whitewashed the Commerce team, 5 to 0, in a Depart- mental League tennis match. The vic- tory moved Navy third in the league standings, with Treasury and War just above it.

(N 6—3 Golfers to Semifinals In N. Y. Title Tourney Rye, N. Y., Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Three up-State golfers and one local mashie swinger swept into the semifinal round of the New York State amateur golf championship here today. F. H. Gouverneur, runner-up last season, and Arthur (Buckey) Yates, the defending champion, both of Rochester, won their matches by nar- Yow margins. Gouverneur beat Leon- ard Martin, Apawamis, l-up, and Yates eliminated Richard A. Jones, jr., of Westchester Hills, 2 and 1. ._ EB. J. Fitzpatrick, of Wolforts Roost, Albany, nosed out a decision over John ’ Dewitt, of Newburn, N. Y., while George Dawson, of the Westchester-Biltmore Club, Rye, conquered Mark Stuart, Salisbury, in a match that went to the twentieth green before the ‘former Chicago star got the verdict.

Davey, how- ever, is just a common or garden variety of golfer, and his feat was loudly applauded. Presently, as Davey settled himself comfortably in an easy chair, some in- quisitive person began asking questions. “You must have had a wallop of a clrive, Jim,” he said. “It was perfect,” replied Davey. “And a fine second,” continued questioner. “The ball was only 6 inches from the cup,” was the answer. “Some 3!” “Yes,” said Davey, “I played with a the eleventh tee the twelfth green.” Thereupon all withdrawn. the to congratulations were The approaching national amateur tournament is not a real championship from the professional point of view. At least that is the opinion of Dave Thomson, the professional at the Wash- ingtc.1 Golf and Country «' b, “When the tournament opens,” he Said last week, “the field will consist of about 50 players who are automatically eligible to play by reason of previous qualification and about 125 other golf- ers who have been selected by a com- mittee of the United States Golf Asso- ciation. When the contestants are se- lected as a matter of personal choice it means that numerous’ golfers who might be able to make a fine showing, even if they did not win, are excluded. “The British system, when prac- tically every one can have a chance, seems to me to have an advantage over the American. It explains why every once in a while.in England some dark horse comes to the front and wins. In this country his name would probably not have ap- peared on the entry list.” While playing the Bannockburn course last week Leo F. Pass, the club c sampion, broke his favorite mashie in an unsuccessful attempt to wrap it around a tree. He was almost willing to give up the game. Two days later he stood on the sixth tee, with the green 207 yards below him. He hit the ball with a midiron. It landed on the green and rolled into the cup for an ace. Not only did he immediately resolve to keep on playing, but when he reached the clubhouse he refused to collect for birdies and syndicates which he had won from Reid W. Digges and the other members of the foursome. In the opin- ion of his companions this was a grave i; astake. The money ought to have been collected and expended in cele- brating the event in proper fashion.

So, with a smile upon his face, White was at his desk bright and early on the next morning. LeDuc arrived, walked by desk, looked around and walked without saying a word.

The Baltimore events always attract a large Washington entry list, and local golfers who would like to play both at Bannockburn and Rolling Road are in a quandary. Homer S. Pope, chair- man of the golf committee of the In- dian Spring Club, and Perry B. Hoover, former chairman, have decided to visit Baltimore, in view of the fact that Roll- ing Road and Indian Spring have played several team matches against each other. Ralph S. Fowler, of the Washington Golf and Country Club, who plays both golf and bridge, has now blossomed out as an after-dinner speaker. At the recent golf dinner of the Washington Telephone Society he delivered what he described as a short history of golf. This effusion, occupying a full page in the Transmitter, contains as many misstatements about golf as Fowler makes mistakes in bridge or duffer shots on the course. One wonders how he discovered that “the. first sand trap was invented on July 4, 1496, and on July 5 profanity became a boon to man- kind.” But his story is full of origi- nality and humor, just the same. U. S. Boy Golf Star Wins British Crown Formby, England, Aug. 25 (A.P.).— Aiter five unsuccessful attempts by American boys in successive years to capture the British Boys’ Golf Cham- pionship, the title went to America on .the sixth try when Stewart Sheftal beat his youthful Scottish opponent, Archie Dobbie, in the final today. The American lad, who is from New York but lives in Paris, scored a decisive victory, his margin being six up and five to play. After a lively fight in the first half of the 36 holes from which Sheftal emerged with a slender two-hole lead, the Scot opened the second round ner- vously. He was lucky to halve the first two holes and the American took a four hole lead by winning the next two. Dobbie foozled badly on the fifth, taking three putts and was not in the competition after that. Sheftal started home for the last time five up and the match was over at the 13th with the title going to a player from the United States, although by way of Paris, for the first time since the event was inaugurated in 1921, | noon it left George M | team, | the twelfth /nament LOTT TAKES NEWPORT HONORS Defeats Van Ryn for Singles Title; He, Doeg Win Doubles.

U.S. Tennis Team Named For International Matches EW YORK, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—A] N squad from which the players will be selected to represent the United States in the international tennis team matches with England and France during the next two weeks, was named today at a conference between Joseph W. Wear, chairman of the in- ternational play committee, and Charles S. Garland, chairman of the team se- lection committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. The squad consists of eight players who have been selected in the follow- ing order based upon the 1927 national tennis rankings: No. 1, Francis T. Hunter, of New: Rochelle, N. Y.; No. 2, George Lott, Chicago; No. 3, John Hennessey, Indianapolis; No. 4, John Van Ryan, Orange, N. J.; No. 5; John Doeg, Santa Monica, Calif.; No. 6, Wil- mer Allison, Austin, Tex.; No. 7, Fred- erick Mercur, Harrisburg, Pa.; No. 8, W. F. Coen, Kansas City. The committee also invited Berkeley Bell, of Dallas, Tex., but, owing to a previous engagement to participate in a tournament play at Denver, Mr. Bell was unable to accept the invitation to become a member of the squad, which will participate in the team matches against England and France. In these matches, the first of which will be played against the English Team at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, L. I., Sat- urday, September 1, and Monday, September 3 (Labor Day), the events will consist of three singles and one doubles match, best two out of three sets each day. At Philadelphia the international match between the United States and France will be a three-day affair with three singles being played on Thursday, September 6; three doubles on Friday, September 7, and three singles on Sat- urday, September 8. English team consists of. Edward Higgs, ranked as England's No. 1 ‘ Gee gle oy ; tah ie Phe eis. Sis Bit ie. Se Lott 2 LP ok Lm pane eae ool ae I - _ om, = 2 * ad va - ae) ee *he player;~ J. C. Gregory, captain, No. 4; W. H. Austin, No. 6, and I. G. Collins. Austin is one of the youngest players to participate in international play in the history of English tennis. He is captain of the Cambridge University tennis team and a player of remark- able ability and promise. In the inter- national team match between the United States and England played at Eastbourne this spring, he defeated both John Hennessey and George Lott. In the English championship at Wim- bledon he won from Junior Coen in a five-set match and carried Rene La- coste, the French Davis Cup ace and holder of the United States singles championship, to full five sets before he was defeated. During the match against England Austin and Coen will renew their Wimbledon rivalry. France will use against the United States in the team matches at Germantown the following players: Henri Cochet, ranked No. 2 in French tennis lists; Jean Borotra, No. 3; Jacques Brugnon, No. 4; Pierre Landry, No. 5; Christian Boussus, No. 6, and Rene de Buzelet, No. 20. The three last named players are the leading players of the French younger generation and are being developed by the French association to defend the Davis Cup when the famous “French Musketeers,” Lacoste, Cochet, Borotra and Brugnon shall have passed from international tennis. The order of play in the singles and doubles events in both the United States vs. England and the United States vs. France matches have not as yet been decided upon. Conférences will be held at Boston during the com- ing week, where all the foreign players are participating in the national doubles championship held at the Longwood Cricket Club, and these details will be worked out during the next few days. _ ah mgt ait ee ke ‘ - Fn fat Fi *s ? = me bates ~ fea rae Cay fe ras # 4 ? ear rae ; n - Ol | won | N he reLiiie renni acl ly in lf hil in \¢ ‘ We Ra CO} Tennis plavers Public held numerous matches among its interest local open tournaments, ton leading Lnited no those who are in the making have shown It tel /ciubs vided one or two exceptions Lal | competition, | municipal | younger element | With this lax condition -tin land | public courts became increasingly in- i Sis al These stagzel rAVGeELL I { | Considine, Park Players Boost | Net Game in Washington By CHARLES A sting of attained District of The pop blic WATSON, rts of ft st he Un tates > Association and those interested in the courts gradually became e€s- tablished in the parks and playgrounds | throughout the District } In 1920 the United States Lawn Ten- | his As made the public parks tennis committee a permanent part of that vanization, and to de- velop municipal players.

In Paris tomorrow thé representatives ef fifteen nations will sign a treaty that has had no parallel in the history of the world. Never before have any nations agreed to renounce war. Some of the parties to the treaty are the strongest military and naval powers that have ever existed. Immediately after signatures have been attached all the world’s na- tions will be invited to signify their ad- herence to the treaty. There is reason to believe that every nation in the world will adhere to the treaty. The new engagement is so brief and simple that any man can understand it and no man can misunderstand it. It creates no burdens, incurs no liabilities, involves no entanglements, and provides no penalties. It is solely an agreement to quit the use of war. In some quarters this treaty is said to “outlaw” war. It does nothing of the kind. War is not made a crime. No punishment is prescribed for making war. It would be impossible to “outlaw” war without setting up an authority to exe- cute the agreement. The United States will not enter into any agreement to combine with other nations to punish a nation that makes war. The same loose thinkers who speak of the “outlawry” of war are jumping to the conclusion that the new treaty makes it unnecessary for any nation to maintain armed defenses. They assume that there will be no wars. Beginning with the mistaken belief that war is “out- lawed,”’ they reach the absurd conclusion that nations need no longer provide for their own protection. If they would ex- amine the great seal of the United States they would discover that the American eagle grasps arrows of defense as well las the olive branch of peace. Opposed to the impulsive ones who mistake the new treaty for the advent of the millennium is another class that looks upon the treaty as worthless be- cause it contains no penalty for viola- tion. They assume that it is a mere flourish, a pious gesture, without vigcr, which can be violated with impunity by any signatory. They do not perceive that this treaty is a renunciation, not a law. A law is a rule prescribed by an authority having power to enforce it. The truth is that the greatest force in the world supports the new treaty, and will operate with crushing effect against any government that flagrantly violates it. This force is public opinion, which under modern conditions can be enlightened and made operative in a sin- gle day. Mankind has never before had such a weapon with which to combat war. The new treaty is itself evidence of the successful operation of world opinion. Some of the governments were reluctant to sign the treaty, but they are signing, nevertheless, at the command of their own people. The force that compels them to sign will operate to make them keep _ their obligation. The treaty is to be kept valid, not by a combination of some gov- - ernments against others, but by human- ity commanding all governments to quit war. Disputes will arise and wars will f , come, in which both sides will claim that _"” they are fighting in self-defense.

@ i isi i * wy o-» - THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, 1928. [LETTERS TO EDITOR ON TO PICS OF THE DAY Contention Made That There Can Be No Constitutional Election of President and Vice President This Autumn Through the Nulli- fication By Congress of the Con- stitutional Clause Relating to Reapportionment on Which the Number of Presidential Electors Depends, To the Editor of The Post—Sir: A President of the United States of America can be elected only by that constitutional method in which presi- dential electors are employed. Constitutional presidential electors can exist only when they correspond in numbers and in distribution among the Seyeral States to the constitutional ap- portionment of congressional represen- tation. There is no constitutional apportion- ment of congressional representation. No election of constitutional electors and no election of a _ constitutional President of the United States can re- sult from the coming November elec- tions. We, the people, will, by ballot, choose some persons to usurp the functions of presidential electors, and these per- sons will select Mr. Hoover or Mr. Smith, to usurp the Presidency. When, on the east front of the Capi- tol, on the fourth of March next, Mr. Smith or Mr. Hoover takes the oath to support, protect and defend the Con- stitution, he will forswear himself, since, at that moment, in initiating his usurpation of the Presidency, he will violate, outrage and nullify the Constitution. If Mr. Coolidge were legally. elected, ef which there is grave doubt, he will, on the coming fourth of March become our last President, and will remain our last President through the administra- tion of a succession of usurpers, until! in Lord’s good time we, the people, ex- tricate ourselves from the quagmire of constitutional nullification in which We are now so contentedly wallowing A casual glance at a printed copy of the Constitution and a slight considera- tion of our constitutional condition, disclose the very apparent facts that, either by direct disregard of require- ments or through lawless legislation, we have nullified Section 2, Article I, all the sections of Article II, relating to the election of the President, and amendments 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18 and 1 9. The fourteenth, fifteenth and nine- teenth, the negro suffrage amendments, are nullified by disregarding them. The Bill of Rights amendments are nullified by the eighteenth amend- ment, the constitutional ratification of which has never been passed upon by the Supreme Court. The eighteenth amendment is nulli- fied by the treaty prohibition laws. Section 2, article 1, and the several sections of article 2, holding require- ments as to presidential elections, have been nullified by the Antisaloon League, which possesses sufficient political power for the purpose, and which fears that a constitutional representation would decrease the dry majority in Congress. One of the results of our indulgence in our passion for legalized lawless- ness is that Mr, Hoover is pledged to nullify the eighteenth amendment by enforcing the prohibition laws enacted thereunder, and to nullify the prohi- bition laws enacted thereunder by en- forcing the elghteenth amendment; while Mr. Smith is pledged, not to do but to try to do the same things, and, in addition, is pledged to try to en- force the negro suffrage amendments. Justices of the Supreme Court and judges of all other kinds of courts, statesmen and constitutional lawyers, dyed-in-the-wool Democrats and right- eous Republicans, professional politi- clans and political pulpiteers, men in the street and women in the home, each and all are appealed to to point out the errors in the foregoing state- ments and conclusions. It would be most gratifying if it could be demonstrated that we,’ the people, have not so far lost our ca- pacity for self-government that we are incapable of electing a constitutional President of the United States. W. W. KIMBALL. Old Brick, Paris, Me., Aug. 19. Gassing of Dogs By Army Officers Declared Inhuman and Wicked and Setting a Bad Example— Man’s Most Faithful Creature Deserving of Better Treatment. To the Editor of the Post—Sir: The article in The Post relating to cruel treatment of dogs taken from the pound is shocking beyond expression. How human beings can claim the least semblance of a humane instinct and inflict terror and suffering to a dog— man’s truest and most self-sacrificing friend—is beyond understanding. Many supercilious people, I know, treat contemptuously any tenderness toward animals, especially, they say, when science demands their use for experiment. Then let scientific war- fare lag a little rather than take a dog which is so near human that they would sacrifice their own lives for the one that would abuse them, and lick the hand inflicting pain upon them. We human beings trust dogs to pro- tect us from harm of all kinds; we let them take them into the most danger- ous places—for instance—the extreme northern limits of the earth, where man could not get along without them, also intc wars and burning buildings, Yes, we hufi\an beings are mighty small when lined up along such cour- age as that. O, some say, with a sneer, “that is just some especially bright dog,” but at the same time people will take just such advantage of courage—and so lt- tle in soul they will forgét all that, and see their best friends sacrificed. When the Government of the United States permits its servants, as Army officers, to do these things in the name of science, as it was said Uncle Sam ordered it, if is setting a bad example for Kindness and humanity. Tt is cruel, inhuman and wicked in the extreme and ought to be stopped. MRS. ANNIE OC. SIMMS. Takoma Parky August 21. Dr. Wiley Writes to Say That He Is Author of the Plan Expressed in Gov. Al Smith’s Acceptance Ad- dress That Agriculture Is Essen- tially a Public Function Affected With Public Interest—Praises Candidate’s Stand. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: I desire to commend most favorably to the attention of all who really believe in scientific farm relief the following quotation from Gov. Smith's speech of acceptance: “While agriculture is one of the most individualized and independent enterprises, still, as the report of the business men’s commission points out, ‘Agriculture is essentially a public function, affected with a clear and un- questionable public. interest.’ ”’ One particular reason which com- mends this statement to my favorable attention is because in so far as 1 know I am the author of it. On November 1, 1927, after having considered for over a year agricultural relief in all its of | | aspects, I announced in my presidential address to the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists the following plan in an outline of a bill to be tin- troduced into Congress. The provisions of the bill I proposed were as follows: “That agricultural welfare be re- garded as affected with a public interest and that it be accorded all the rights and privileges of a public utility.” In the further development of this idea not only did I urge Congress to acknowledge that agriculture was af- fected with public interest but also to invite the economists of the agricultural experiment stations and colleges to ascertain the cost of all staple farm products in each State, including the wages of the farmer himself, his wife, and any minor children working on his farm, together with all the cost of supplies, the purchase of agricultural implements, and other legitimate costs entering into the total. Congress was also authorized to charter in each State an agricultural union consisting of the three economists mentioned above and not less than twelve bona fide farmers as its nucleus, and inviting all farmers of the State to join this union and be- come subject to its laws and regula- tions. Having thus ascertained the actual cost of their products and bearing a charter authorized by Congress, the farmers could know exactly what they must get for their products in order to pay expenses and to make a reasonable income of not less than 10 per cent. Having all the crops of the country in their power and having provided a common purchasing agent and a com- mon selling agent for all farmer’s prod- ucts, the agricultural industries would be in a position to demand proper recognition. I am glad to see that Gov. Smith has recognized the wisdom of my plan. Il laid this plan before Senator Capper, Representative Haugen, Senator McNary and other influential persons studying the problem of farm relief. I also pub- lished my plan in the Manufacturers’ Record of December 1, 1927. It received quite favorable and extensive apprecia- tion. It was, however, coolly laid aside by those in charge of farm regulations If a bill of this kind had been pre- pared and passed it undoubtedly would have received executive approval and farm relief would have now been estab- lished and on the way to complete frul- tion. This is one part of Gov. Smith's ac- ceptance of which I heartily approve It is the only onward step which has yet been proposed by any of the candi- dates. I hope even if Mr. Hoover is elected that he, in a wise review of the situa- tion, will adopt this plan. HARVEY W. WILEY. Writer Says Statement That Tibetans Drink to Excess is Erroneous— Many There Highly Educated. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: Per- mit me to take exception to some of the statements in the article entitled “Proofs of Druid Worship in Europe and Asia Found,” which appeared Post August 22. The patent absurdity of the state- ment about the inhabitants of Tibet, admittedly a Buddhist country, that “every one drinks alcoholic liquors to excess,” muSt be ‘apparent to all in the least familiar with the tenets of Bud- dhism and the practices of its adher- ents, who have the greatest abhorrence for alcohol. The sweeping statements about the illiteracy of Tibetans in general do not preclude the existence in that country of some of the ablest metaphysicians and noblest characters in the world.

E. M. HOUGH. Former Government’ Clerk Cites His Case in Illustrating Employment Conditions in the Departments—Says He Asked Correction. in Effi- ciency Rating, But That His Complaint Was Ignored and He Was Transferred to Do Work of a Low Order and Hounded Until He Submitted His Resignation. —=- To the Editor of The Post-——Sir: Hav- ing been an employe of the income tax unit for approximately seven years prior to April 19, 1928, and having ex- perienced some of the mental agonies resulting from the misuse of authority through efficiency ratings, I naturally have been a sympathetic reader of the several articles appearing in the Wash- ington papers touching upon the un- fortunate death of Miss Dorothy R. Sherlock and what has been said by Dr. D. Percy Hickling’with reference to the rating system employed in this bureau, and wish to contribute this in the interest of fair play and with the hope that some good might result therefrom I note the Commissioner of Internal Revenue states in part: “Careful in- quiry does not disclose that Miss Sher- lock ever complained-to any of her supervisors about her work being too strenuous or that the noise of the typewriters was distracting.” With particular reference to what the commissioner says about “not com- plaining,” I think it is only fair that he state some of the results of tests that have heen made in meri- torious cases in his bureau. AS an ex- ample, I cite a completed case, my own I protested two efficiency ratings. One of these ratings was a fraction above 70 per cent, resulting, I contend, through the abuse and misuse of pro- thority under this mighty, all-power- ful, dangerous, self-serving instrv ment, “your efOclency rating.” I carefully worked up my case and courteously presented it to te proper official, the assistant to the commis- sioner. What was the result? Practically all the facts therein set forth showing the injustices done me remain un- answered and most answers that were given by the chiefs responsible for such rating were misleading and half truths. No adjustment was made, but instead I was transferred from one of the high- est audit sections in the unit to the lowest, then detailed to clerical work, and so hounded till, out of self-respect, 1 submitted by resignation. All of the above may be found In my personnel file. If not, I have copies, and I invite the commissioner to per- sonally review this particular case and then see if he thinks Itt is quite failrAo stress the fact that this poor, urffor- tunate young lady, whom I knew not, did not “complain to any of her su- pervisors.” She doubtless wel: knew that such complaint would only com- plicate matters. I am not seeking personal gain or sympathy, though would welcome the commissioner’s verdict relative to the Injustices pointed out in my ‘case in the presence of myself and the officials responsible for such ratings and those responsible for actions subsequently taken; or publish my entire record, if you please, that the public may know that a large per cent of the employes of the Income tax unit are made miserable and wholly helpless injustices practiced under the in vogue, by the system BENTON C.

South’s initial Club was beyond doubt; it would have been a sound bid even if the hand had not contained the Ace or Hearts.

Furthermore, a Major holding of two spot cards is a strong argument against an informa- tory double.

Work. Diamond suit—a distinct element of Strength for his Heart contract—had not been shown by his first bid and, with a partner who could bid initially and who had not denied the Hearts, a rebid was tempting. West having been able to rebld with- out hearing from East and conse- quently showing much greater strength than his initial following bid had an- nounced, East, who had passed once, raised to three Spades on the second round; and South, because of his Ace of Hearts, went to four, his partner having rebid. The four players having all stretched things a little to go as far as they had, there was no further bidding. THE PLAY, East led the Queen of Spades. His partner’s suit having been overcalled by a suit, the Queen at the top of three was the proper lead; had the overcall been made in a No Trump, the lowest of the three would have been the proper lead. West, viewing the Situation, appreciated that he surely could take two Spade tricks and that it was important for his interests that Dummy should not ruff the third Spade. West had a good chance for a Club trick and a possibility of a Dia- mond trick; his best show to save game was to keep Dummy from a ruff, and it was much better that he should lead trumps than that his partner should do so. Consequently he overtook Easts’ Queen of Spades with the King and, to trick 2, led a trump. This lead caused the ,Declarer to put on his thinking cap. It was quite impossibie for him- to count with the least cer- tainty the division of the six adverse trumps; it being more probable, owing to West’s strength in Spades, that East held four Hearts than that West did so. It was necessary for the Declarer to handle his Hearts so that, when he desired to draw all the adverse trumps he could do so, even if four be found in one hand; and consequently it was evident that he should take the first Heart with the Ace in Dummy. If he led a Spade then with the intent of giving Dummy a puff on the third round of that suit, the trumps would be continued and that plan would be frustrated. In that case he would lose at least three Spades and one Club. The necessity to use the Ace of Hearts on the first lead took from Dummy its trump entry and left it with no entries outside of its long suit. Declarer’s only hope for game was to estabiish and run the Club suit and this sould be done only by leading a small Club to trick 3. There was a chance that the adverse five Clubs were divided 4-1 and that a second round of Clubs would be led immediately and ruffed; but this slight risk Declarer had to take. It will be noted that the small Club lead to trick 3 made game easy for Declarer, no matter what the adver- saries did when they won that trick, If they continued with a Spade and then led another trump, Declarer could exhaust the trumps and discard his two losers on Dummy’'s good Clubs. If they led a Heart immediately, Declarer could reach game along the same lines, The winning play was the lead of the small Club from Ace-King:' and three others in Dummy, up to three small in Closed Hand.

¥ ‘ys vs i K- tol HARRIS - EWING \ Thirs CTllarian avdine. da: of” four other spar tse MNWOMENL, awho ail be pre- Sen ed Lo JOCLEL ITH the flitting of summer Washing- ton awakes from its social slumbers. The first of September marks the metamor- phosis from inertia to renewed activity on the calendar of the days which Washington society keeps so faithfully, lest a dinner or luncheon engagement, a ball or a tea be for- gotten. The informality which marked the entertainment of the summer will more and more give way to formal events. For, when all is said and done, Washington is a world capital and, as such, has a definite etiquette and mode of procedure, socially speaking, to maintain. This fact has been given recogni- tion since the days of Thomas Jefferson. In the Library of Congress is treasured a yel- lowing bit of paper on which the third Presi- dent of the United States inscribed his views on what should constitute official etiquette in Washington. Other Presidents and the ladies of their households have wrestled with the same vexing problem. Out of these anxious hours of the past have been evolved the unwritten rules, the precedents and the hard and fast dictates for social behavior at the National Ou pital. On the fashionable thoroughfares of the city shutters are being taken down from mansions, barred doors opened and the exodus to the Capital from the playgrounds in this country and abroad will soon be in full motion. Only a few short weeks now and the whirl of functions will begin again. * * + > q | its far flung vacation haunts the Cabinet is hastening back. ‘The political demands of the hour are heavy upon Cabinet shoulders. The months before election day will see many heads of executive departments busy in the field of campaigning. Therefore, members will not remain in Washington as usual, which may curtail the amount of Cabi- net entertaining this fall somewhat. - This is to be a season of “ave et vale” so ql far as the Capital is concerned. While social 1S © Fal and Winker. leaders are preparing to welcome the new regime yet they are including in their plans functions in honor of the departing leaders whose farewells will be simultaneous with the shouts of welcome to the new’ arrivals on March 4. Of course, the full extent of the departures will not be known until after election day, yet the mere change of ad- ministration itself, whether from a Republi- can to a Democrat or from a Republican to a Republican, involves many shifts in the official personnel of the Capital. These coming events have cast ther shadows before in the Cabinet. For two vacant seats, those of former Secretary of Commerce Hoover and former Secretary of the Interior Work, have been filled. In the ap- pointment of William F. Whiting, of Holyoke, Mass., to the post of Secretary of Com- merce, a delightful addition to the Cabinet circle, has been made. It will be remembered that Secretary and Mrs. Whiting have bcen house guests at the White House several times in the present administration and they are personal friends of President and Mrs. Coolidge. Mrs. Whiting as well as her hus- band is a favorite in the North Shore colony and their regime in Washington will no doubt be marked by social brilliancy. They have several charming children and a wide ac- quaintance already with the elite of the Capital. + * 7 * ’ ONSIDERABLE interest is shown to the ‘© possibilities of White House entertain- ing for the season. No announcement, how- ever, has been made about the customary state functions. President and Mrs. Coolidge have earned a_ real place as genial and gracious hosts in the affections of the city. Their White House entertainments have been marked by dignity, hospitality and a smooth- ness reminiscent of the best traditions of that historic mansion.

Vociehy Washington, ever ready to entertain Senerously the noted stranger within its gates, was enthusiastic about the novel visitor of last week, a Lady Mayor of England in the full glory of scarlet robes, gold chains and the weighty dis- tinction of being the 1,200th mayor of the historic seaport of Southampton. Those favored with a chance to meet the visiting Englishwoman:-found “His Worship” the quaint title which is hers despite her sex, a vivacious gentlewom- an imbued with the desirable sense that rank imposes obligation. She was very appraciative of the keen interest of Americans in her personality and career. She was accompanied by her daughter, the mayoress, who also won many friends by her gracious manner and appearance. Vice President and Mrs. Dawes are still pursuing the elusive trout in the streams of Colorado and will not re- turn to their home in Evanston, IIIL., until the middle of September. Just when they will come to Washington has Mot been announced. Usually they ar- rive about the last of October or early November, so it is expected that the same plan will be followed this year. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nicholas Longworth has gone to New England on a series of visits and will probably stop off in Washington for a few days on his way back to Cincinnati to rejoin Mrs. Longworth and their daughter, Paulina. The usual transfers in the Diplo- matic Corps which occur each year already have begun. One of the most notable thus far announced is that of Maj. E. E. Lombard, Assistant Military Attache of the French Embassy, who has been assigned to the command of a@ unit of the French army. Before her marriage Mme. Lombard was Miss Helen Carusi, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Carusi, of this city. Maj. Lombard has not been told as yet just where he will be stationed. Washington society is interested in the news from London of the crusade which has begun there to check the invasion of the uninvited to social functions in that capital. This habit is not confined to London, however, for Washington hostesses have been troubled by it for several seasons. In London Lady Ellesmere asked a number of socially prominent young people to leave a big ball she was giving at her home, Bridgewater House, since she had not invited them. All Mayfair buzzed with admiration for her courage next day, and other leaders have promised to follow suit until the habit is 5 POO ne ate!

Qe i? ine teat : ; Ga iat aes Portes ‘ = veo vd NT THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, ‘AUGUST 26, 1928. ; Capital: CWonen By VYLLA POE WILSON. HILE there are few indications that modern woman is consid- ering seriously wearing her heart upon her sleeve yet she goes a step further when she adorns her heae With her soul portrait That is the State of affairs into which the aura chapeau now prevalent in certain fash- jon centers is about to plunge us. The auraists who have been doing a thriving business for the past four or five, years painting soul portraits as color and design guides for the ward- robes of fashionable women, are busy now painting lines and swirls and zig- Zags and circles in appropriate arrange- ein on close-fitting hats of silk and elt. Many women are sitting for soul por- traits to experts and then take the finished creations on to their milliner who copy it faithfully and they neat |} appear on the chic hats of the moment However, to some women of delicate sensibilities this placing of their soul story on their hats with the desire to bring them good luck is too brazen a procedure. They limit their soul pic- tures therefore with having them painted on pins or buckle ornaments. In a day when perfect matching is the aim of every well dressed woman sometimes the soul portrait motif is carried as far as the pocket book, the purses or even shoe buckles. Just as the manufactures and de- signers met the demand for monogranis on everything by evolving a monogram Which will do on all costumes no mat- ter what the name of the individual might be so these artists of the world of industry have evolved auraist designs which might fit the soul portraits of a hundred people. In Blue, Purple and Green. These have been developed in lovely blues, purples and green with shading of other tones. But to be .really chic ene must have their own individual soul portrait. The clever needlewoman or she,who was a reconstruction ald during the war may put her occupa- tional therapy training to good stead and “cut out’ her soul portrait in a stencil or a block of linoleum and color it as her fancy or the expert who made it directs. So far we have, for the most part, had to depend on ‘foreign artists for our soul portraits. Without an auraist design, there is an atmosphere about a becoming hat which gives to the matron or maid a charm which is assured and individual. Of course all hats in which the wearer has confidence are not becoming. But if the wearers feel that they are it is half the battle. No one, but a woman who has been conscious of the unbe- comingness of hats, can know the dreary hopeless state of mind. into which she gets under these conditions. The new ethics of salesmanship, mill- inery and otherwise, is to give the cus- tomers something with which they will be pleased. This idea prevails not only in the ateliers of the smart milliners and modistes but in the shops which cater to all classes of women, even on bargain counters. Americans Prevail in Hat Sense. A scrutiny of the hats worn by the average American woman, the woman of wealth and leisure, the working woman and the woman who is carving out a career in her profession, shows that in good hat sense the American woman excels. Here and there we may see a woman who has purchased her hat without regard to her complexion and the way it will go with it or how it will con- form to the contour of her face or the way she does her hatr. The sense of freedom which: comes from the hats of today which are pull- ad firmly on the head over the sensa- tion of a few years ago when the hats were balanced on top of a well-dressed head of hair and had to be “anchored’”’ PORE OE en ~ MIE EO SN — X a - AA _ >= g ‘ .

Hat of a Lady Doll. Even the hat on Alice, the lady doll once the property of the little girl who later became Mrs, Theodore Roosevelt and first lady of the land, comes in for much attention. This is made to go with a very “‘dressy”’ dress of stiff silk made with a drawn-to-the-back skirt into a huge bustle effect with a long train. The hat is a pancake effect, mounted on a high bandeau. There is still in this collection a most alluring little bonnet made of rare old blond lace trimming, a tiny black straw shape.

Vith this costume she wore a close-fitting black hat of milan straw and carried a gay parasol. Mrs. Basil Gordon, who is at Baden- Baden for the summer with Miss Ruth Hitchcock, daughter of former Senator Gilbert Hitcock, of Nevraska, had on a fetching Paris frock of blue silk made on sport lines one day recently on the promenade there, according to rr \ x P\\ \ ANS a ee SA eA. / Yj (1A4q ; ‘ i. \ * | NM ~ Y jhat/ I MM Lg ~ ty, , " 7 >.

At Newport week. this the one the no stocking fad gaining serious support and some of the smartest buds from New York, Boston and Philadelphia are indulging Miss Beatrice Greenough, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Greenough, who frequently visits in Washington during the season, has adopted the fad, and the other day was noted at the tennis tournament in a dark brown jersey into which had been woven a wide band about the bottom of the waist an odd design of yellow. Mrs. Ogden L. Mills, wife of the Undersecretary of the Treasury, who recently returned to her Newport home from Saratoga Springs, where she had been passing a week, had on one of the new flowered chiffons at an afternoon tea in the Newport resort which won many admiring comments from her friends for its smart lines and becom- ingness. Worn at New London. New London ts yearly gaining more and more of a Washington colony and this season is no exception to the gen- eral rule.

She wore one evening a gown of beige georgette trimmed a darker shade of embroidery. Another attractive gown recently seen at New London was that worn by Mrs Francis Harrington, wife of Lieut. Col. Harington, a red, black and white printed suit and with it she wore a medium white straw hat. At Watch Hill, R. L., other fetching costumes on Washingtonians were fa- vorably commented on, notable the red and white printed linen dress worn by Miss Mary Montgomery. Mrs. Frederick Roosevelt of New York, who is we'l known here, was seen one afternoon in a one-piece white silk dress. She had on with it a small white felt hat which seems to be all the rage at summer resorts this year, Mrs. Axsel C. P. Wichfeld, formerly Mrs. Clarence Moore, who is passing August at Vichy, France, received many compliments one day when she wore 4% striking costume of flowered black silk over which she wore a long circular cape with collar of nutria, which was reversible, plain dark red on one side and the same color at the top and bot- tom of the other side, with a very wide band of deep pink in the center. Apparel in Honolulu. Miss Alice Brooks Davis and Miss Cynthia Davis, who have been with the Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis in Honolulu, were very attractive at a morning event, according to reports, in dresses of white crepe de chine with clip-on knitted white sweaters ane wide- brimmed white straw hats. The Misses Davis wore for traveling smart dresses of blue crepe de chine with coats of silk and wool material with scarf col- lars. Miss Alice Davis wore a red straw hat and Miss Cynthia Davis a blue one. Mrs. Edward R. Dorn, Capt. U. S. N., retired, to wife of who came ginia Beach, where she and Capt.

Generally speaking, the silhoutte is not ditferent than the one we have been seeeing auring the psst. few months, although there decided tendency to elaborate it The slender lines of youth are main- tained’ as far as possible, but broken with added flared pieces to the coats and rippligg capes. In the outer garments this graceful treatment of the silhouette its depicted most frequently by the addition of fur bands and trimming. Even the ensemble costume elaboration to the outline them a new aspect In this day, when the designers are inclined to use fur as fabrics, it is not a surprising note to have a flounce or flare, or even a cape of fur or a huge puffed collar on a cloth coat.

Ee THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, ‘AUGUST CLUBWOMEN OF CAPITAL MAKE READY FOR EARLY OPENING OF ACTIVITIES By VYLLA POE WILSON. ence the past, you hold equally dear the club season in Washington in full swing again. Clubwomen are returning from their pilgrimages in this and other countries, club programs are being prepared and ann6duncements of regular club meetings crowd the mails. Political activities will keep some of the ciub leaders out of Washington for the most part until November. But gen- erally speaking Washington clubdom will answer “Here” almost unanimously when the autumn meetings begin. Washington women interested in Red Cross activities attended the various sessiong of the national conference on Red Cross dietetics held at the national headquarters of that agency of mercy last week.

Mrs. William D. Hurd, presi- dent of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Diocese of Washington, enlisted many leading church women of her committees for the triennial. One way in which the club women of Washing- ton can assist is by volunteering their cars and their services as drivers during the sessions of the triennial; 1,000 cars are needed for this purpose. Washing- ton women are asked to pledge theirs if only for a single day during that period of time. has Club Appointments Made, The results of the recent executive committee meeting of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs held public. A number of important ap- pointments were made then as follows: Mrs. Joseph Lee Smith, of Dublin, N Y., chairman of the division of Indian walfare; Dr. Josephine L. Pierce, of J.ima, Ohio, vice chairman of the de- | partment of the American home; Mrs. | Francis E. Whitley, Webster City, Iowa, resources; Mrs. Grant Beebe, chairman of the division of and Mrs. Hamet D. Hinkle, of Indiana, vice chairman of the department of fine arts, while Mrs. H. C. McCahan, of Kirksville, Mo., is the new chairman of the division of literature and Miss Ger- trude A. Null, of Huron, S. Dak., chair- man of the music loan libraries. Tree planting has come to be an increasingly popular activity of club- women and the Mary Sherman Forest, mamed in honor of the former presi- dent of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, has now assumed con- siderable proportions. This idea re- ceived some of its inspiration from the tree planting of the District Federa- tion of Women's Clubs under the leadership of Mrs. C. E. Chase, Stats chairman of conservation, who, in April, 1926, planted ‘and dedicated a tree to Mrs. Sherman in Washington among a number of others dedicated at the same time “to women whose service has won recognition.” More than 100 Mary Sherman trees have now been planted in some 25 States, among them being blue spruce, hemlock, American elm, Austrian pine, tulip, gilver birch, maple, European sycamore, ecarlet oak, magnolia, Norway spruce, white pine, pecan, Norway maple, oak, ypress of Australia, crepe myrtle, ecru, apple mulberry and arbor vitae. D. A. R. Called to Polls. A clarion call to the women of the D. A. R., 160,000 strong in the United States, to go to the polls in November and exercise their franchise rights as gitizens has been sounded by Mrs. Al- fred J. Brosseau, president general of the D. A. R., in a message to the or- anization just. made public. Mrs. rosseau points out that ‘58,000,000 American citizens are qualified to vote, out of that number 49 per cent are women. Statistics show that in the presi- dential elections since 1920 not more than 35 to 40 per cent of the women have gone to the polls. That average is far too small, considering the vital interests that women have in the affairs of the world. “They are represented in industry, in the professions, in local and Federal offices and in the control of schools, colleges and churches,” continued Mrs. Brosseau. “Last, but not least, they dre held answerable to the world by reason of the fact that those they bear will some day assume its control. To those they bear there is also due an eccountability, which may in time be challenged. “It is a recognized fact that now- ddays the greatest potency lies in the group activity. That being the case, it fs probable that a recalcitrant woman ¢oter will respond to the appeal of her socal leader in chapter or club life fmuch more readily than she will to the stranger who appears at her door ih an effort to awaken her to her re- éponsibilities. “Therefore, the greatest opportunity Aes within the grasp of the State and thapter officers of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

As a matter of fact, the forma- @ron of a ‘get-out-the-vote’ committee tm each chapter, large or small, will @mske for greater enthusiasm and étronger unity of purpose. “To the possible criticism that the Yeeyghters of the American Revolu- tion are enterting politics, there is but ene reply..

These Latin American programs at the Pan-American Union have earned a high place in the season’s presenta- tions in Washington from a musical point of view. Franklin Adams, coun- selor of the union, who has their ar- rangement in charge, takes infinite pains to assemble the best talent in the Americas for these occasions and quite frequently premier productions of the works of Latin American composers are presented. The diplomacy colony 1s always invited and sometimes out of town critics and composers are drawn here for the purpose of hearing the beautiful and exotic music of composers to the south of us. September 1 will see the return of the regular choirs of the city to choir loft and choir stall. Many organists of the leading churches have been at the various festivals in the United States and Europe and will come back to their work here refreshed in spirit and in- spired muscially by the fine recitals they have heard elsewhere The good work of the volunteer choirs which have given yeoman service as substitutes for the regular choristers deserve much credit also and the thanks of the congregations whose weekly worship they have so enhanced with stirring hymns and religious melo- dies. Mrs. Nellie Sebastian Chaillet, soprano soloist of First Presbyterian ORCHESTRAS BOOKED HERE Two unique orchestras, each dedi- cated to the development of a particu- lar kind of music, will be featured in the season’s program of the newly or- ganized Washington Cooperative Artist Concert Course for 1928-1929, the ten events to take place at the Washington Auditorium at the evening hour of 8:15 o’clock, and at nominal prices for the entire course. “Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra” are established as a permanent feature of the musical life of the country. The other orchestra is equally as dis- tinctive, and is dedicated to the pur- pose of familiarizing the music lovers of the country with the beautiful and great literature for string orchestra. It is called the Philadelphia Chamber String Simifonietta, and is composed of eighteen leading members of the Phil- adelphia Orchestra. Fabien Sevitzky, the double bass player of the orchestra, founded the new organization, and is conductor. ) Both orchestras are scheduled to ap- pear in the early part of the course, Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra ap- pearing December 15, and the Sim- fonietta on January 7.

Mrs Chaillet sang, “O Fair, O Sweet, O Holy.” by Cantor, and “Until,” by Sanderson. Mrs. Kinsella used “To a Wild Rose,” McDowell; “Venetian Love Song,” Ne- vin; “Liebestraume,” Liszt; and “The Old Refrain,” Kreisler. Both the “Loh- er.grin” and “Mendelssohn” marches were used. Humperdinck’s fairy opera, “Hansel aud Gretel” will be given in English by the Chicago Civic Opera Company in the: Steel Pier Ballroom, Atlantic City, today. Edwin Franko Goldman and his well- known band will open a series of con- certs, extending from today to Septem- ber 8, inclusive, in the music hall on the Steel Pier. This will be Mr. Gold- men’s third season on the Steel Pier. Peul Whiteman and his orchestra were featured yesterday,when this nationally known organization played two con- certs during the day in the music hall and the dance at night in the ball- room. A new innovation to the music loving public in the way of a brass choir known as the “National Brass Quartet,” of Washington, has just recently been assembled here by George Gaul, the well-known trombonist, of Baltimore and this city. cues Miss Mabel C. Latimer, soprano soloist of the Shrine of Sacred Heart, has re- turned to the city after six weeks spent in Europe. Miss Latimer visited many places of interest, including France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Belgium. She had the extreme pleasure of hearing “Der Meistersinger” and “Parsifal” during the Wagner festival while in Munich. , The Washington Conservatory of Music is re-forming its students’ or- chestra into a symphonic organization, composed also of outside lovers of classical music who are interested in orchestral work. Mr. Wladimir Vasa has been selected to conduct the new organzation. He has experimented with the chorus of the Americanization School with very satisfactory results. All orchestral instrumentalists who desire to join this free organization will be given auditions by appointment through the Washington Conservatory of Music, 1408 New Hampshire avenue.

Atterberg’s work won the prize be- cause in the simplicity and beauty of his melodies he did not essay an equal stature with Schubert, but laid a wreath on the monument of Schubert’s genius.

Bie Ee B's RUSSIAN STAR TO PERFORM NEXT SEASON Dispatches from the French Riviera indicate that Vladimir Horowith, the great Russian pianist, who made his American debut last season as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Symphony and other great orchestral groups on this side of the Atlantic, 1s spending his vacation at Juan Les Pins, where he will remain until October, the time set for the be- ginning of a second American concert tour that will take him from coast to coast as a recital artist. He is sched- uled to make his only Washington con- cert appearance next season as the opening attraction of Mrs, Wilson- Greene’s Philharmonic Course, in which he will be grouped with such virtuosi as Jascha Heifetz, the violinist; Marti- nelli, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera; Rosa Ponselle, the “Met's” great so- sprano, and the Boston Symphony Or- chestra, under Koussevitzky. Although Horowitz was practically unknown to American audiences up to last season, he had already conquered musical Europe with a series of con- cert tours that began in Russia at the time of the revolution, when Horo- witz was a mere strippling, and which eventually brought him to Berlin and Leipzig, where he played with the Ber- lin State Orchestra under the direction of Wilhelm Furtwaengler. The same season, in 1923, he appeared as soloist in Hamberg with Dr. Karl. Muck con- ducting, while Gaubert and Pierne con- ducted in Paris and Monteux in Am- sterdam for orchestral concerts in which Horowitz appeared as soloist. While in Rome the King and Queen of Italy invited him to dine with them and with the royal family. In Belgium he was the guest of the king and queen. Horowitz, although still in his early twenties, is an intimate friend of the Prince of Monaco and the Duke of Con- naught. Temperament appears to worry Horo- witz little. He is extremely serious in his attitude toward his art, music be- ing the principal interest of his life, particularly piano music. His daily practice period is said to be 3% hours. An tmteresting fact about Horowitz has to do with the unusual formation of his hands. His marvelous lightning playing of octaves (two tones played by little finger and thumb eight keys apart) has been photographed in slow motion for the benefit of piano stu- dents. Horowitz plays everything from memory and has a huge repertoire, in- cluding all of Wagner’s operas. In appearance, Horowitz is tall, dark and slender and very artistic looking as well as youthful in appearance.

LO? ‘ i and kinds |}accounts in larce measure for the wide- | spread popularity of the products from fertile pen. He has the Knack of setting tal looking at issues and things from the angle of ordinary men and women. He is thrilled by the common emotions shared by all humanity of pain, fear, | sorrow, grief, tragedy, joy, happiness, comedy and courage. Any man or wom- an, reading his verse, is apt to pay the tribute of a thought something like this: “That is the way I think about it myself.” The daily messages from Mr. Guest, cast in poetic form which appear in The Washington Post and other news- papers from coast to coast, are eagerly read by thousands of admirers and fol- lowers of his undoubted genius. No doubt many of them get helps in daily living, inspiration to better things and consolation in grief from his measured words and rhymed phrases. Therefore, he may well feel that he has achieved a very great success in service to his fellow man. For instance, this poem, “A Prayer,” is a very good thing to read at the be- ginning of any day: Grant me, O Lord, this day to see The need this world may have for me; To play the friend Unto the end; To bear my burden and to keep My courage, though the way be steep. Grant me, O Lord, to set aside The petty things of selfish pride; To toil without ; Too much of doubt; To meet what comes of good or ill And be a gracious neighbor, still. Grant me, O Lord, to face the rain And not too bitterly complain; Nor let a joy My calm destroy; But teach me so to live that I Can brother with each passer-by. Not great poetry, that! No, it is not, but it is adequate for the audience which it commands. From a technical point of view it leaves much to be de- sired. most casual student of poesy. But it has in it something which grips the soul of the man or the womna who reads it and makes him or her desire to lead a better life for that day. Furthermore, unlike many poets of more ability, Mr. Guest finds a ready and lucrative market for his verse. When one remembers poor Poe willing to sell “The Raven” for $10, content with the crumbs from the editors’ tables, the boy Chatterton starving in his garret, Keats, through all his days, and Homer, as the story goes, blind and impoverished, begging his bread from door to door in the seven cities which were afterwards to claim him as son, how much more fortunate Edgar A.

The material of this book is a by- product of the melting pot of modern evils and crimes. Just why the Writers yuild of America shouid select such a volume for its prize award is hard to discover. For “Park Avenue” is a book which serves no particular good pur- pose in its \‘riting. And, if as the publishers’ announcement states, Mr. Vernon-Cole desertec ‘‘the realm of his- torical romance .n which he won first laurels” to venture in the field of mod- ern narrative he would do well to re- turn to his first love. The reader is dragged along by the author into the nauseous haunts of the underworld of New York City; crime, corruption and vice, stark and remorseless, trail his steps and when the book is finished one feels as if a nental bath were necessary. @hat “Mr. Vernon-Cole contrives that beauty and virtue shall be victorious, even on Park avenue,”’ does not redeem this book from its place in the cate- gory of books which literature will not accord more than a trunsient place on its shelves, HATE—By Arthur D. Howden Smith. (J. B. Lippincott, Philadelphia.) Those who enjoy a rousing sea tale will find an admirable example of this school of fiction in Howden Smith's latest book. It is cast in the days of the War of 1812 when British sea power sought to limit American craft and little Old New York was a comfortable little town on the end of Manhattan Island with a population of some 100,000 souls. “Hate” is salty from the first page to the last one and it is easy to see that Howden Smith knows his oceans. Un- derlying the story of the seas is an- other one of the struggle of a human soul to throw off the corroding hand of hate. At last love wins and Capt. Lionel Fellowes finds in forgiveness of his dying enemy satisfaction and peace and—after awhile—the woman he loves. CORK SHIPS. By Peter Adams. (E. P. Dutton & Co., New York.)

Among the books is “Fower,” by Lion Feuchtwanger, which the Viking Press still lists among its most popular books. “Power” continues to sell after two years at the rate of several hundred a week.

TADIO COMMISSION OEEN AS TIMOROUs Should Operate Daringly in Reducing Stations, Critic Asserts. TASK IS DISAGREEABLE By JUDGE 8S. B. DAVIS (Former Solicitor of the Department of Commerce). There seems to be in some quarters & feeling that legal tests of the radio act must be avoided. That is a wrong attitude. Nothing can be worse for an industry than to be ignorant of its legal bases. Nothing can be more un- pleasant for a puble officer than to be doubtful of his cwn authority, and nothing can work more strongly to- , ward inefficiency. Certainly the com- mission should proceea on the theory that the law which creates it,is con- stitutional, and chat it has the power to do what the law tells it to do. To take the opposite theory is to negative its own right to exist. .}| Every other great regulatory, act of Congress has had to undergo the ordeal of judicial scrutiny. The radio act must experience the same test. The sooner constitutionality is determined, and judicial construction obtained for am- biguous language, the better for all concerned, and this is true whatever the result. But in tae meantime and until the courts sveak, while we may all guess about it. and lawyers may give learned opinions based on analo- gies. answers remain in the realm of the legal unknown to which belong So many other ralio problems. Commission’s Duty Clear, Perhaps it is too much to expect weak human nature to carry out such @® task as that which confronts the radio commission. Certainly no public Officer would regard it as a pleasant one~ It is inherently disagreeable. Nevertheless the duty of the commis- Sion to the public has been and still is clear. The trouble is plain. There are too many stations. The commis- sien was instructed to cut down the mumber and was expected to do so. The law stripped the radio patient, laid him on the operating table, diagnosed his disease, and called in the commis- sion as surgeons to perform the neces- ary operation. When the members of the commis- ion first gathered to examine the pa- tient they were about to treat, they found, speaking of broadcasting only and considering it as an entity, that it consisted of about 700 stations of all sizes, kinds and conditions... There were a few good ones, others mediocre, hna others worthless. To continue the medical simile, the patient was made up of a few hundred sound, healthy, good stations, but upon them was a tumorous growth of several hundred inferlor ones, which had attached themselves during the period when no one had power to prevent them. It Was apparent that palliatives would be useless. Radio Heads Hesitate. They might afford temporary relief from immediate pain, but the disease would still exist. Onty one remedy Was indicated—a major operation, which would cut off and throw away the excrescence. The 1927 law placed in the hands of the commission the necessary instruments. But they have hesitated to wield them, not unnatu- rally, perhaps, for such an operation has never before been performed in the world of business. In any event, instead of operating, it may almost be said that they have applied warm poultices to the affected portions, which unfortunately have caused the tumor to thrive and grow, so that it has even absorbed parts of what was once healthy. To abandon metaphor and speak again in. figures, we must remember that the commis- jon has never had more than about 0 channels available for all broadcast- ing; that_it found over 700 stations trying to use them; that by no stretch of imagination could any one conceive * that it was possible with these few channels to provide efficiently for even alf that number, even by resorting o time division and other uneconomic subterfuges. I do not mean to intimate that the commission has not made progress in the betterment of broadcasting condi- tions. It has improved them, and it deserves full credit for what it has done under its handicaps and disad- Vaniages. But after more than a year of commission control we still have 686 stations, or did have in January of this year, and they are using over 600,000 kilowatts of power. The major Operation has not been performed. The atient still suffers. We still have con- usion in broadcasting, inefficiency and interference. We will continue to have them until the disparity in numbers Between channels and stations is done away with. Progress in the art may make available more channels, and thus afford relief. But unless and un- til that occurs there can be no ma- terial betterment until the stations are reduced to reasonable numbers. Somebody Going to Be Hurt. The commission will need plenty of support, for when it starts to carry out the policy of cutting down the number of stations somebody is bound to be hurt and there will be many such somebodies. Those who lose present privileges will doubtless assert that ae y are deprived of their property with- t due process of ‘aw, that it is be- ing taken for public use without com- pensation, or that for some other rea- son their constitutional rights are vio- {lated The questions raised will be dif- “ficult of solution. I certainly dog not intend to try to give an answé# to them, for it is useless to speculate ‘sabout law unless we have the facts to which it is to be applied. Much depends On just what the commission does. Refusal to allow a station owner to operate his apparatus at all might pres- ent legal questions quite distinct from those which would arise from a mere refusal to allow him to use a certain wave length, even though he had been operating upon it, and we do not know now which course the commission will pursue, or whether it will adopt either. A further uncertainty arises from the fact that all present station owners have accepted licenses of limited dura- tion and are operating under them, so that it will doubtless be claimed that whatever rights they may once have had now necessarily terminate when the license expires. The law under which they accepted icenses gives them no assurance of re- newal. The courts will be called upon _ to determine between, on the one hand, D the undoubted right of Congress to reg- % ulate interstate and foreign commerce, sf even though incidental injury results - to an individual, and on the other the Bipsovection afforded the individual by - the Constitution against the taking of ls property without compensation. No court has yet passed upon these phases Y et the radio act. The matter has not beer aren presented for determination. a Short Waves Dr. L. W. Austin, of the United States ureau of Standards, one of the world’s authorities on static, is at- Jing a scientific conference in Brus- “a ‘director in Well gton, New Zeal- ‘preadears an orchestra of 20 ‘cellos “Hoover, in his acceptance estimated the number of radio ss ie tse: Caled etatas 4p E a ’ 2¢¢\.e) THE WASHINGTON POST OFF THE, ANTENNA UST now, when every distance listener is swearing at the summer static, or has given up in disgust, or has “junked his set” (like a golfer “throws away” or “breaks up’ his clubs about every so often), it is welcome news to hear the static experts say the worst is over and that the curve of bad atmospherics is on the toboggan. Systematic recording of static by Uncle Sam at the Standards Bureau for about six years shows that extreme conditions prevail in June and July, almost invariably followed by relief toward the end of August, im- proving steadily with the cool nights which which begin to be felt during September, and with the very best listening conditions from the middle of October to the middle of March. According to the Standards Bureau observations, static was equally bad during June and July of this year. At that, it was much lower this July than last, but June static this summer was worse than during the same period last summer. In June, 1927, static was abnormally low, as a matter of fact, and that is the reason it appeared to be so much higher last June. Static has been pretty high the last month in many parts of the country, due to the thunderstorms which have prevailed. Surely there ought to be very advanced evidences of static conditions with the be- ginning of autumn on Sunday, September 23. Inasmuch as that is only about a month off, there will not be much longer for the fans to wait. Among those who have known Secretary Hoover long and intimately the most marvelous development is his acquisition of an extremely good radio presence. A notoriously poor speaker in the beginning of his career, with a voice not at all adapted to that purpose, by means of the radio he steps along with the best of them. “In all that has been written about the Hoover acceptance speech,”’ some one who used to know him in Washington when he wasn’t much of a speaker, but who now lives in Chicago, commented, ‘I have seen no mention of the remarkable result produced on the Hoover voice by the radio. Hoover has always had a timid, half-grown oratorical voice. Without the aid of electricity it could not have been heard more than four rows of seats away, out there in the California atmosphere. to the raido, it boomed across the country. “It was a big surprise to me, for it made Hoover sound like a smash- ing orator. If that is the general experience, Hoover’s radio speeches may yet become a genuine campaign attraction. On the radio he is not at all hard to listen to. Without the radio his speeches would wreck any campaign.”’ Thanks Although only loaned to Stations WJZ and WEAF, in New York, while other announcers were out announcing political candidates, and on their vacations, John B. Daniels, of WRC, has made such a good im- pression he may be detained in the big town for some time to come. John, who is now handling such assignments as the New York Phil- harmonic Symphony Orchestra and the Goldman Band, was an assistant announcer at WJZ three years ago. Although regarded as a fixture in Washington, about every so often he is called upon to do outside an- nouncing. He handled President Coolidge’s Gettysburg speech and also the series of broadcasts last winter by the Chicago Opera Company. Radio in Turkey is still in its infancy and can not yet compete with the portable phonographs. Maynard O. Williams, European correspond- ent of the National Geographic Magazine, writes us from Constantinopla: ‘When portable radios become popular,’ Maynard goes on, ‘‘there should be a wonderful sale here, for if there is anything a Turk likes to take along on a picnic it is something to make music. On a Bosphorus steamer on a Friday, when the people migrate to the upper Bosphorus, there are dozens of portable talking machines on board. ‘“‘On a few of the steamers radio has been installed, and when I say radio can not compete with talking machines I speak as one who wit- nessed such a contest as has seldom been staged. The first radio song I ever heard was new to me and was something like ‘Take Your Fingers Out of Your Mouth’—I suppose some sort of hygiene propa- ganda, though it sounded silly enough. But it was that omnipresent ‘Hallelujah’ that nearly spoiled our ears for life. ‘“Radio-Stamboul or some other broadcasting station turned on ‘Hallelujah,’ apropos of nothing in particular, but its syncopated cacaphony was as challenging as Chanticleer’s vocal exercises by way of making the sun rise. There were two portable talking machines in the cabin or salon, and it suddenly occurred to the owners that they could make it a trio. By speeding up or slowing down their respective machines, each of which had its own artist, they tried to bring them into tune and tempo with the radio. There was no promise of either harmony or a dead heat when the radio quit in disgust. But there never was so much syncopated hallelujahing in one place, even if they were all out of step but Jim.” Those who perform before the microphone never know who is listen- ing tothem. Not long ago a friend in Washington of Theodore Dretser, the novelist, noticed that a program was to be broadcast from New York, through a chain of stations, of songs written by his brother, Paul Dresser, including, *“‘The Blue and the Gray,” “Just Tell Them That You Saw Me,’”’ “On the Banks of the Wabash” and a number of other old- timers. A telegram reached Mr. Dreiser, who also happened to be in New York, just in time to tune in on the program, and he was evidently very much touched by hearing the songs of his brother, who has now been dead many years, Of special interest to Theodore Dreiser was “On the Banks of the Wabash,” in which he collaborated with Paul, writing the words for the first verse and the chorus. The composition subsequently, by legislative act, became the State song of Indiana, an appropriate thing, inasmuch as both the boys were born at Terre Haute, which is on the Wabash River, Contrary to popular impression, it was Paul who changed his name and not Theodore. Dreiser was the family name, but Paul, being in the theatrical business, changed it to Dresser. Ralph Edmunds, manager of WRC, desires Washington listeners to know that the cutting off of Graham McNamee’s recital so uncere- moniously last Sunday night was not due to eed fault of the local station. “Something happened in the operating room a New York, nobody seems to know just what,’ Mr. Edmunds explained, “‘and not only Wash- ington, but all the other stations on the hook-up, were cut off. However, for the benefit of those who missed hearing Mr. McNamee sing last Sun- day we hear from New York that the recital will be given all over again next Sunday. \ Telegraph Parley Opens Next Month Decision Awaited on Monopoly Charge Americans Sail to Take Part in World Conference in Brussels. The American representatives to the International Telegraph Conference to be held at Brussels beginning Septem- ber 10, have just sailed on the Levia- Trade Commission Expect- ed to Rule in a Month in Radio Case. It may be another month before a ruling is made on the motion asking for the dismissal of the alleged radio mo- nopoly charges now pending before the than. Since the United States is not a party to the International Telegraph Convention and Regulations, these del- egates, while representing the United States Government, will not have a right to vote on the questions to be decided at the conference. The dele- gates of the United States are: Leland Harrison, of Illinois, American Minister at Stockholm, formerly Assist- ant Secretary of State, in charge of communications, chairman of the American delegation; John Goldham- mer, of New York, vice president, Com- mercial Cable Co., and its representa- tive at the International Radio Con- ference held at Washington in 1927; Charles Henry Shedd, of Illinois, man- ager of the telegraph department, Swift & Co., Chicago. The American delegation will be as- sisted by these technical advisers: Maj. William F. edman, secretary and technical adviser; chief of code and cipher section, signal corps, War De-|. partment; Harry F. Coulter, Interna- tional sexi oper section, radio division, of Commerce. Lieut, Ed- ward M. ae al communications. offi- cer, United Grates Coast Guard; Carl O, Federal Trade Commission. Both sides have now submitted their briefs, but the commission will be in recess until the first Wednesday in September, ‘The case is an old one, with charges of monopoly and unfair methods of cumpetition having been made four years ago against the Radio Corporation of America, the General Electric Co., the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., the Westinghouse Co., the United Fruit Co., the Wireless Specialty Co, and the International Radiotelegraph Co. It was only recently, however, that the motion to dismiss the case was made. — Notwithstanding the fact that the case has been going on so long that ‘no member of the Federal Trade Com- mission is sitting on the bench who was there when the litigation began. only one side—that of the Govern- ment—has been heard.

MIKE SCHOOL URGED BY ORCHEOTRA CHIEF Founding of Special Courses in Technique for Artists Are Advocated. VOICES RARELY PERFECT Convinced that the leading broad- cast programs must develop their own future talent, Director Gustave Haen- schen, of the Palmolive Orchestra, is advocating the founding of special schools or courses for the training of musicians and singers in microphone technique. “As has been clearly demonstrated,” Director Haenschen said, “dll artists are not successful when they seek to go on the air. That is not because aspirants for leadership 6n the air are lacking in the ability to make their voices or music carry from the studio. It is simply that they must learn a special form of radio presentation. Conductors Much Interested, “All radio conductors are keenly in- terested in this condition and I am personally heartily in favor of the establishment of classes in microphone technique. Of course there are out- standing instances of the perfect radio voice, like that of Olive Palmer, whose coloratura soe rea notes carry and are reproduced with faithfulness through the receiving sets. “The case of this star is unusual, however, and the ranks of future divas of the microphone must be recruited from artists who especially fit them- selves for radio performance. Movement Is Indorsed., “I only wish that my own time per- mitted active participation in the or- ganization of such a school, But being occupled with the direction of the Palmolive Hour, that is impossible. However, not only the directors but the Singers and musicians of the leading programs have heartily indorsed this moyement to train those who will be needed on the air in future Years. “Not only is this a vital radio itself, but a wonderful oppé6r- tunity for talented young boys and girls who are willing to earnestly train themselves for a radio career.” Standardized Radio Speech Opposed All Provincial Peculiarities Should Be Retained, Critic Declares. the of inte, in It persons is theory some hopeful ested standardization that can be standardized the will of everything that dc broadcas tiv ving much to pr over radio mote language and the gradual belief the who habitually use whose pronouncla- with recognized of dialects. This the supposition is based that are educated men the best of English, tion is in accord authorities and whose vocalization is free from the little pecullarities and differences of speech that distinguish the natives of various sections in the United States from each other. The first qualification of a broad- caster is a clear voice and intelligent understanding of what he ts saying When it is not original with himself, and as not all such men are experts on pronounciation and are often users of dialect words and phrases belonging to their respective geographical local- ity, it is a matter of doubt whether Standardization will proceed rapidly under radio example or not.

EACH TO HAVE SIGNALS The installation of wireless beacon stations at suitable places around the coasts of the British Isles is proceed- ing rapidly. Six stations have already been erected and are now in opera- tion, and seven more have been or- dered. Among those stations now in operation, the Mersey Bar, Coningbeg and Spurn are on lightships, while those at Skerries, Round Island and Casquets are on land. The next seven stations to be erect- ed, and for which apparatus is now being constructed, are at Start Point, Lundy Island, Sule Skerry, Dungeness, South Bishops, Cromer and Kinnaird Head. Beachon transmitters are pro- jected also for Tory Island and Mizen Head, Each beacon transmitter has a dis- tinctive call signal sent at a speed *wWhich enables it to be identified even by inexperienced and unskilled listen- ers, and as they work on a specially allotted wave length they are generaly free from interference from other serv- ices. They are therefore alds to navi- gators in any weather conditions and can be used for bearings by skilled op- erators with direction finders or by navigators unskilled in wireless work using a bearing Indicator. In the meantime, the United States, which is far ahead of the other coun- tries of the world in the matter of protecting its coasts with radio bea- cons and fog signals, ts now experi- menting with a semiautomatic beacon at St. JoMfn’s River Lighthouse, Fla., and the first of this type to be in- stalled in this country. The apparatus consists of the stand- ard 200-watt radiobeacon transmitters, for which power is furnished by two automatic engine-generator units. The need for | entire equipment is controlled by a special clock, The keeper’s attention is required only when it is necessary to operate the apparatus during thick and foggy weather, Radio to Broadcast 4-H Club Ac tivities Effectiveness of Wireless on Rural Thought and Ac- tion to Be Tested. untformity in our | elimination | | culture, on | broadcasters | A large-scale demonstration of rad{o’s effectiveness in influencing, rural thought and action will be carried on for 30 weeks, starting October 1, by some 60 broadcasting stations and the Radio and Extension services of the United States Department of Agri- the department announced. The radio stations cooperating with the department are going to give the rank and file of 4-H Club boys and girls a national outlook on the ac- tivities of their organization by means of a weekly broadcast. ‘“‘The 4-H Club Crier,” prepared by the radio service in conjunction with the extension ser- vice, The national program will supple- ment State 4-H Club radio programs, carried on by a number of land grant colleges. It will introduce a new radio personality who will tell farm boys and girls of the entire country the story each week of the best achleve- ments of club members, local clubs, or groups of local clubs, announce im- portant regional or national club events, and explain how to conduct club projects. Separate “4-H Club Crier” programs are being developed for the Eastern, Central, Southern, and Western groups of States. The schedules of cooperat- ing radio stations will be announced early in September. Sixty-one sta- tions in 38 States have requested the program. Corrections Made On Station Prefixes Corrections have been sent out by the radio division of the Commerce Depart- ment that typographical errors were made in sending out the list of inter- national prefixes for call signals of amateur stations. The prefixes for Chile and Honduras should have been shown as CA and HR instead of CI and HP, respectively. The radio division has: been advised by the director of radio, Canada that the only prefix assigned for amateurs of that country is VE, the prefix CF not being used at the present time.

Most of the renches are occupied by men lying full length and taking vhe sunlight treat-e ment. The bodies of some of these men sup- ply the best proof that the tanning part of sunlight can not penetrate cloth. All skin covered ordinarily by any part of the bathing suit shines white in con- trast with the mahogany brown nearby skin. Many of the men have removed their bathing suits in order to tan the untanned areas of the skin. The male of the species is too superior to care for. looks and, therefore, dces not object to tigerlike stripes because they overthrow his pulchritude. Therefore, it is tan- ning his stripes of white because of the good he thinks it does him, In the first place, no well-informed person tans the skin in order to improve i texture. Nor is there any premium on any appearance which raises the Jim Crow law, written or implied These men are tanning the skin because they think doing so is good for what lies within. They probably do not know that tanning is the method the skin employs to keep the light out. Assum- ing that sunlight is good for what the skin covers, we should avoid tanning since that is a fence built to keep the good stuff out. Under that assumption, the wise policy would be to keep some part of the body, say the left shoulder- blade, untanned. As occasion arose tha% part of the body made famous by Gil- bert and Sullivan might be exposed briefly in order to cure rickets or some other impending calamity. Before dismissing the text for this sermon let us disgress one step. The bodies of some of these men offered proof that the tanning part of the light ray does not penetrate water. These men had to come qn the beach to tan, thus proving that codfish must borrow vitamin D from some-other source. So much for one'side of the question. Now for the other.

Moscow, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—Public or- ganizations throughout Russia are co- operating in plans for the celebration of the 100th anniversary. of Leo Tol- | stoy’s birth on September 10. A jubilee committee, including Russia’s most prominent leaders in literature, science and art has been named by the central executive committee of the government to take charge of arrangements. Many towns will unveil monuments to the famous writer during “Tolstoy week.” The Tolstoy museums in Len- ingrad and Moscow will be centers of special commemorative exercises. The first volumes of the complete works of Toystoy, now being printed by the gov- ernment, have already appéared. The edition is 90 volumes, comprising every- thing that Toystoy ever wrote. M4 A world-wide aspect has been given to the celebration by the receipt of communications from: literary groups in various countries expressing the de- sire of members to attend the cere- monies in Russia. vent the sunlight treatm7nt from cure ing him of rickets. One explanation is that the skin layer which holds the pigment lies below that one which takes part in the cure of rickets. If this be true then a man can get much of the good effects of light even though his skin is tanned to a dark brown Maybe tanned skin lets through enough-and, at the same time, serves to prevent overdosage. Such are the arguments for and against tanning. CANKER SORES. C. E. 8. writes: What is the cause of canker sore mouth?

VU ly _ lay CHouses aie Quick, Watson, the Mike--- [ Think I Have T yphoid! By NELSON B. BELL HIS, so I am told, is the mechanical age. The report, no doubt, is worthy of credence, since by my extraordinary powers of ob- servation I have myself perceived that nowadays we are bunted about by impatient taxicabs and lacerated by the ndnshatterable glass of windshields instead of merely being tossed out of phaetons, surreys and traps by runaway and skittish horses; phonographs, player-plianos and radio have supplanted ‘“‘Over the Waves,” played by little Effie on the parlor melodeon, as the evening whoopee of life in the American home ——If any—and those who prefer death by drowning go down to the sea in gas-driven ships of the air instead of air-driven argosies of the deep. It is a tough racket for one who can not even drive a nail straight. It is worse than that for any one attempting to keep abreast of the intricate mechanical flubdub with which the art of the motion picture is gradu- ally being reduced to a matter of horsepower and precise scientific ex- actitude. New mechanical developments, rather than new faces, are, of course, the center of cinema interest at the moment not only in Hollywood, but in Culver City, Universal City, Burbank, on Long Island, and every- where else that films are being produced, and every ear is attuned to the fragments of information occasionally oozing out of the closely guarded experimental laboratories of the gelatine industry. In the sound-proof inner sanctum of Paramount, for instance, tests are reputed to have been made with sound and color in combination, and a close-up of Nancy Carroll conversing from the screen in natural tones and colors is said to be particularly interesting. Dumb as I am in mechanical matters, I can understand that! Miss Carroll is the sprightly young player who appeared on the stage in the original production of ‘‘Chicago,’” wherein she portrayed the im- petuous character of Roxie Hart, one of the many rivals of Annie Oakley her sex has produced. She has assailed these dimming eyes only once as one of the vivacious bandits in ‘‘Chicken a la King,” seen recently at the Fox, but that was enough to make it plain that the svelte young blonde, properly pigmented and rendered vocal, might well be cata- logued among the more virulent of the world’s contemporary and active menaces. I will even venture so far as to hazard the hasty opinion that Miss Carroll might reasonably be selected as an authoritative means of prov- ing the demonstrable quality of something or other about curves, con- tours and periphery. As I said—or did 1?—mechanics, somehow, do not seem to interest me this evening. OWEVER, ever a martyr to the cause of learning, I presume it is H essential that it be chronicled that at the Tiffany-Stahl studio the three-dimensional process developed by M. H. Hoffman its said to be so far along that picturegoers will see it concretely demonstrated on the public screens of the Nation before the end of the year. Mr. Hoffman still keeps his tests locked in the laboratory, but has gone so far in private conversations on the subject as to make the statement that no special projector or other exclusive equipment in the theater is involved in his method of giving life-like depth to the screen, This, as need not be remarked, is the effect that has been sought since the inception of the motion picture. Personally, I have never seen it even remotely approximated but once, and ever since have wondered why what I was privileged to enjoy has never been perfected and dedi- cated to the artistic enhancement of screen entertainment, A good many years ago—I should say at least ten—in company with Tom Moore, retired motion picture magnate and the pioneer film man of this city, an attorney-at-law whose name has escaped me, and a young Washingtonian who had brought the treasured short-footages of precious celluloid from the home of their inventor in Italy, where he had lived while studying voice culture among the masters, I sat in the stuffy little projection room in the basement of the Strand Theater and viewed the most amazing pictures I have ever seen move on a Silver sheet. They were taken by a secret process that not only brought the third dimension of depth into every scene, but made possible instantaneous photography by the ordinary natural and artificial lights of night— moonlight, lamplight, electric street lamps, motor car headlights or any other beam that penetrated the pall of darkness sufficiently to offer even slight visibility and contrast. There was brave talk that day of converting the miraculous discovery of a poor and obscure Italian into one of the marvels of an industry then still young and making it the source of an endless stream of gold into the coffers of those interested—but nothing ever care of it, so far as I am aware. Perhaps the inventor died before his secret could be imparted to an- other; perhaps, after all, it did not prove feasible for application to the colossal business of mass production; perhaps the whole business was a fake, or Perhaps M. H.

NOTHER development which at any other time would attract no A special attention, is the recent affiliation of Paramount with one of the largest radio broadcast stations in the West. Although studio offi- cials say the acquisition of KNX as a radio mouthpiece was merely to give Paramount’s “‘corporate voice” a chance to be heard on the air as often as desired, the view persists in some quarters that recent advances in television accelerated the deal. Even though many years may elapse before it is practicable to broad- cast motion pictures, it will be of considerable advantage to a studio to be able to broadcast portraits of its stars and new players to the army of television experimenters who in the not far distant future may be as nmumerous as the early crystal-set pioneers used to be.

PICTURE NOT A WALLOP AT HENPECKED The Amalgamated Tired Business Men, which occasion- ally condescends, under pressure, to dry the supper dishes, is taking it, col- lectively, a bit uneasy. There is a new picture announced for the Fox Theater this week with the title “Beware of Married Men,” and the members are certain no power on earth is going to keep the wives from seeing it, particularly as Irene Rich, its star, is popular with them. Heaven knows the average married man has trouble enough without the movies picking on him, but he can allay his fears. He has few peccadilloes that the wife doesn’t know though she may— and here may is used advisedly—keep mum about them. Those treated of in Miss Rich's picture are all made for laughter so there its nothing to cause worry. At the pre- view of the picture in Hollywood it was said to be extremely funny and to give Miss Rich the best opportunity she has had to show her versatility as a screen actress. Miss Rich first won her popularity in a series of parts which showed her ability to play unappreciated wives. These parts she portrayed with wistful charm which is all her own A new order of characterizations began, however, with “Lady Fan,” in which she played'= Mrs. Erlynne, mother of Lady Windermere This performance was one of the great- est in the history of the screen; the erring and outwardly hearless mother, who did at least one good thing which she “didn't want spoiled,” won for Miss Rich enthusiastic praise from all quarters, MR. MURRAY GETS HIS IN LATEST HIT If Charlie Murray ever had the im- pression that making motion pictures Is just play, that impression was erased during the making of “Vampineg Venus,” irst National’s new comedy special, which is current on the Earle Theater screen. Murray, who plays the featured role in this laugh opus, had to do the fol- lowing things while the picture was in production: Spend a week working with lions that were not milk fed. Take a number of rides in a dashing chariot drawn by wild horses, Go flying over big sets suspended from a slender wire. Be crashed on the head with a cham- pagne bottle several times. Be jerked up to the roof by his hel- met, suspended from a rope. Dodge arrows shot by expert archers. Murray plays a New York politician who is knocked out in a cabaret brawl and who takes a journey to ancient Greece in his unconscious moments. “Vamping Venus” was directed by the famous comedy director, Eddie Cline. It is from an original story br Bernard McConville, and was adapted for the screen by Howard J. Green. Association of Vitaphonetics.

A COMPANION-PICTURE TO “INTOLERANCE” IS FINISHED FTER 2) years of work, “Noah’s Ark,” the greatest production undertaking ever attempted by Warner Bros., was finished last week. The last Vitaphone sequences are done and the thousands of feet of film taken by Director Michael Curtis have gone to the cutting room for the final Stage of production. “Noah’s Ark,” in zation, embraces cal one and two stories—a _ bibli- a& modern one—and be- tween them is drawn a parallel by showing how a decadent world was first cleansed by the visitation of the deluge, and later by the visitation of the World War. The biblical story has been treated with spectacular sweep. .The 38-acre Vitagraph lot was completely devoted to the “Noah’s Ark” unit for many months, and one of the most amazing MRS. KEATON TELLS TRUTH ABOUT MATE Buster Keaton’s wife, Natalie Tal- madge Keaton, always accompanies her famous husband when he goes on loca- tion with his company, and during the filming of the comedian’s United Art- ists feature, “Steamboat Bill, Jr., now playing at Loew’s Palace, while they were at Sacramento, Calif., some one asked Mrs. Keaton for her happy matri- monial recipe. “We are two romantics; we like the same things, laugh at the same jokes, love family life, and have in common our sons, Joe and Bob,” replied Mrs. Keaton, who gave up a screen career to star domestically. She is content to let Norma and Constance uphold the honor of the Talmage family on the screen.

4 Footlights and Shadows By JOHN J. DALY HE theater being what it is, a human institution, it will never be without its faults. Now the reserved seat situation is being taken up in a serious way. Seems as if there are those who Would remedy the ill; but where to find the remedy? Naturally, the Bolution would come with a heavy price on admissions. Obviously, this is not the panacea. As old Nelson Bell, the veteran movie-man says, “Two dollar top is the answer.” That, then, would prove the undoing of it all. The shieks and all those who go to the theater with other ideas can find cheaper parking space, the shiek being the fellow who refused to take the girl to the second show because she really wanted to see the picture. + s . ° anally the. question of reserved seats in local theaters has occupied no small amount of space in the newspapers. The ques- tion has been discussed pro and con, and the public, it seems, is deeply concerned. All but one theater in the city has an established policy. Either they have reserved seats or they do not have reserved seats. The theater in question is Keith’s which will probably open next month some time. The manager, Mr. Roland Robbins, is dubious what his seating policy will be for the coming season. ‘No definite policy has as yet been estab- Yished for our Fifteenth street playhouse,’ says Mr. Robbins. ‘‘Keith’s, it will be recalled, always has used the coupon system, or reserved seats. Yet with the day for opening drawing near, no definite policy has been set up.’’ Manager Robbins would like to know just what the policy will be, as no doubt would a great many Washingtonians. He votes in favor of the reserved seat system because, in his own words, Only practical method of seating patrons in comfort.” Now this hits in exactly with the policy, for want of a better word, of the Reserved Seat Guild, the president of which, G. Balis Kinslow, the Southern Building, has directed the subjoined letter this way: Mr. John J. Daly, Dramatic Editor The Washington Post, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Daly: Recently this organization sought and received an expression from one of your contemporaries on the subject of reserved seats as a remedy for the present congested and crowded conditions in the lobbies and foyers of theaters. We would be gratified, indeed, have some opinion from you. The guild was not and is not organized to attempt to dictate policies to the management of theaters. On the other hand its sole purpose is to serve the public by attempting to find out from interested persons ‘if there is not a solution to the existing problem. We believe sincerely that, as a theatergoer and as an observer of theatrical affairs, you, likewise, are interested. Your contemporary gave the public a thoroughly interesting bit of opinion and infcrmation but he failed to suggest a remedy. Discovery of a remedy, of course, is our difficulty. But surely with your knowledge of the theater and condition existing therein in the absence of reserved Seats, you will agree that there ought to be a remedy. You will agree, of to ,*' also, we believe, that there is no condition existing for which there \ last but not least of all, what about the “grassing”’ i t 4 - guild’s entire membership would be very, ‘The thing does not just quite work out according to Hoyle. is‘not some remedy. Reserved seats would solve the problem, wouldn’t they? Yet, with the present five-and-six-audience-a-day turnover the managements would not likely stand for a change. Simply, it would mean taking money from their coffers. It would mean a monetary loss, it’s true, yet an increasingly large gain of public good-will. Is not the public’s good-will worth something? Another thing, our theaters today have stage presentations and other features in their mixed-bill performances which last many minutes longer than the ordinary feature moving picture. Are we, then, to consider that these theaters, in the strict sense, are moving picture houses? What about the jamming and crowding in the lobbies? And, for a seat that has been paid for? No vaudeville theater would permit this. At least, we don’t see how it could. If reserved seats seem impracticable from an economic standpoint, and are undesirable as a permanent proposition, what do you think of the coupon sale for big boxoffice pictures like ‘‘Street Angel,” ‘‘The Jazz Singer,’ ‘‘Seventh Heaven” and others of their class? Such features are advertised far in advance of their showing and sale of reserved seats for these would, at least, alleviate the condition to a very considerable extent. Since organization of the guild I have read a great number of com- ments from interested citizens in The Post’s ‘‘Letters to the Editor” column. Thousands of people are interested in this subject and I be- lieve, most sincerely, that any expression coming from The Post’s dramatic editor will be widely read and observed by your readers. The very glad indeed to have Sincerely yours, G. BALIS KINS your valuable opinion. M May we? LOW. ~ * Ls * ANAGERS of motion picture theaters, obviously, have quite a problem on their hands if ever they attempt to reserve seats. With continuous performances the order of the day and of the night, the motion picture theater offers a rendezvous for people who go in not only to see the play, but to rest tired limbs. Occasionally the traveling sales- man, tired of tramping the streets on a sunny day, will seek surcease from sunshine in the motion picture palace. In the winter, with the comparatively low cost of admission, many a man biding his time goes into the heated emporium to escape the frigid air of the streets. The darkened halls night and day have been known as most favorable parking places for the lovelorn and seats gained for this purpose are not readily given up. Managers have thought about this problem and occasional attempts have been made throughout the country to rope off certain sections of the theater for reserved seats. This section was considered sacred to the average theatergoer between given hours. An added tax was levied to gain admission within that precinct. The seats, naturally, were held open until about 30 minutes after the last performances took place. After that, no sales being registered at the box office, the remaining seats were thrown open to the general public and very moviegoer who had gained admission to the theater by the regular fee was entitled to the seats ‘‘down front.’’ This, of course, caused displeasure among those who had paid higher rates for their reserved seats, with the result that dissatisfaction thus registered caused the discontinuance of the policy. In the Washington theaters, where seats are not reserved not even those who go on professional visits, such as the motion picture reviewers, may have any assurance or guarantee that they will be seated. These professionals somehow manage to Satisfy their wants by getting there "at a prescribed moment, by going ahead of the ordinary run of motion picture fans, or diverse other methods, some of which might work out in the case of the average theatergoer. This, since the theater managers ‘themselves are totally at a loss what to do, seems about the only way reserved seats can be obtained in places where there are no reserved Beats. HE whole question, as Mr. Nelson Bell politely but insistently in- T forms me, after seeing this galley proof on the hook, down in the composing room, is beyond my realm. ~*You are over on the wrong side of the lot,’’ he says, and therein he is perfectly right. The movies are not my province.. Where I work, and play, and watch the wheels go round, there are reserved seats. Alas, reserved seats galore; for the inverse reason that the movies do not have them. - When “big box-office pictures,” such as Mr. Kinslow mentions, play the regular movie houses the prices are usually held to the same svale as those prevailing for the regular run of the lot, and reserve seats are again out of order. Only when these super-pictures, so called, are put on exhibition in old-time, legitimate houses, are the coupons stacked in the rack, and each man, according to his lights, and rights, given a reserved seat. ‘‘Wings,” when it plays the National, in the opening week of the regular theatrical season, will come as a road attraction, with reserved seats, ’nd everything; but the prices—ah, the prices— will not be those of the prevailing movie-house standard. Therein "lies, probably, the answer to the reserved seat controversy. &% a © 69, Bs “re 5 hes TF vee Tisaeeicts ere: of Talkies + The Hout?

Any five-word order almost automatically was taken to mean “clean carbon and grind valves.” Then along came “high test” gas and the old phrase passed relatively out of the picture. It emphatically is not to be inferred that high test gases are not what they are cracked up to be. The most super of the superlatives of the manufactur- er, however, fall far this side of what the average motorist is inclined to think the newer gasolines are capable of doing. The automotive engineer is with the service manager on this question. He has been able to create an automobile capable of truly astonishing perform- ance as a result of the advances made in the production of gasoline of a higher grade. Still, he recognizes that, good as the gasoline of today undoubt- edly is, it has its limitations. One of the limitations is that it ts unable to eliminate the need for clean- ing carbon and grinding valves. It has startlingly lengthened the period be- tween carbon and valve jobs but as to entirely eliminating them, his ex- perience says “no.” Experts’ Opinion Same. The revelation may be shocking to car owners, but a number of engineers and service department heads were consulted and there was universal agreement on the subject. The motor- ist is satisfied with performance not because it is the kind that comes from a carbonless engine in which all the valves are seating perfectly, but mere- ly because he is content to believe it is. Unfortunately, he really is miss- ing a lot of performance that is in the car but can not find a way out simply because the owner fails to go to the shop now and then and ask them to “clean the carbon and grind the valves.” In the old days there were plenty of audible signs that the car was choked up with carbon. During the process of acceleration or while climbing a hill the knock or ping within the engine meant only one thing, carbon. After it reached a certain point there was no escape from a cleaning job. Then the nondetonating or jess gasoline made its debut. moved the knock —_————— knock- It re- and a whole lot of the carbon, but the complete elimina- tion of the first led to an universal as- sumption that the latter, too, had been thoroughly put to rout. True, it was quite a rout, but not quite a complete one. Knocking always has been carbon’s way of making its presence known and felt. Presto! No knock, no carbon, reasons today’s motorist. Lack of Logic Costly. The car owner is paying for the lack of precision in his logic. He pays in two ways, according to those who should know. In the first place, he loses through performance that is not up to the car's potentialities and, in the second, when he finally does get around to having the valves ground he finds them in such condition that re- placement is necessary. Then, in addition to the replacement of valves, the seats which are often badly pitted and burned require con- siderable attention from a mechanic above the ordinary in dexterity. That costs money, too. The motor-car owner often it prone to forget in connection with the high quality gasoline he uses today that it is not always the motor fuel which causes the most and worst variety of carbon. How about the lubricating oll which, when pistons, rings and cylin- ders have worn as a result of long service, works up into the combustion chamber? In the newer engines cooling systems have been given larger capacity, valve materials have been changed and the | the | valve and its seat have been modified | designs and the dimensions of to provide for the better dissipation ol h-at and to create a safeguard against damage, particularly to the exhaust valves which are exposed to tempera- tures that may approach the critical. This departure in design practice should suggest to many car owners the fact that perhaps the valves in their own cars if allowed to become carbon- ized, or lifted from their seats by par- | ticles of carbon, are subject to damage, | at least, are not functioning prop- | or, erly. Silence Demand Hurts. Another vagary of the motorist is cited as contributing to the situation. This is the modern motorist’s craving for silence. To get it, he is constantly dropping into the repair shop or service station to get the valves adjusted. The adjustment sought is not, in jority of cases, in the interest of more power of better all-around efficiency No, indeed, it relates rather to noise The result is valve deterioration evils of both.

REFINEMENTS IN GMa BENEFIT MOTORISTS Saving of $500,000,000 Yearly in Manufacture Is Passed on in Part. EFFECTED BY RESEARCH Motorists generally are direct bene- ficiaries of a yearly saving of $500,000,- 000 effected each year by the pe- troleum industry through improved re- fining technology, according to a de- tailed report submitted by Dr. Benja- min T. Brooks, of New York, to the Institute of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society. “The petroleum industry,” says Dr. Brooks, “has developed a highly special technology of its own. The highly competitive nature of the industry has Caused an acceleration of technical im- provement, particularly in the last ten years. “These improvements in refinery technology, particularly in the art of cracking for increasing the yield of Basoline and in the methods of distil- lation, and, to a lesser degree, in all Other refinery operations conservative- ly represent a saving over older prac- tices of at least half a billion dollars annually.

Research will not change that. However, research has informed us of the antiknock valve of motor fuels and has greatly improved the average motor fuel in this respect; it has, allied with engineering, perfected cracking proc- esses, produced better lubricants in better yields and at lower cost, aided in the finding of new pools, reduced refinery losses, reduced loss by fire gaved many millions of barrels of crude through the study of emulsions, reduced labor costs throughout the re- finery. increase in has been Most By Research. “Research has not done directly, and most of this result has been accomplished by the engineering applications of research. “The petroleum industry may fairly be regarded as being at a peak of engi- neering development and on a highly efficient operating basis.

AUGUST MENTAL EASE PROVIDES MOTIF FOR NEW CADILLACS VALVE SPRING GIVEN ULUDE oT UDY OUR Increase in Engine em Greatly Dependent on Correct Article. DESIGN IS IMPORTANT Automobile valve springs which in earlier days did not get a great deal of attention from the engineer today are being subjected to his closest scrutiny, according to W. T. Donkin in the Jour- nal of the Society of Automotive Engi- neers. Mr. Donkin says that a factor that .| has promoted the study of valve-spring action has been the steady increase in engine speed. The early engines were of relatively low speed, he shows, but each year has seen an increase of 100 to 200 revolutions a minute, which finally has brought the speed to a point at which correct operation of the en- gine depends on a correctly designed spring. “Tests and experience tend to show that stress range is really more impor- tant than the maximum stress, up to the elastic limit,” Mr. Donkin says. Di- agnosis of the reason for this shows that, with a high-stress range, the ma- terial is put through a large angle of twist which tends to fatigue it quick- ly and open up any discontinuity in the metal, causing early fallure. There- fore, high maximum stress with a low- livery buyer. brakes, the costliest stopping system ever devised factor of luxuriousness down to the smallest has been considered in the design of the new series of cars by this pioneer in the fine car field, details which represent the ultimate in engineering At the top is the Imperial Especial attention has I finesse and in 7-passenger sedan.

The men whose ability and foresight ouilt up these large com- panies'‘have thus appraised the possi- bilities, the necessity for research.” Traffic WHYS IDENTIFICATION TAGS, License plates are required by the traffic regulations as a means of !den- tification of the owner of an automo- bile. In the District they must be dis- p:ayed in front and rear. The car must be fitted with a tail tight which also shows white on the license piate so as to make the numerals on it legible for at least 50 feet. Tags are issued for passenger cars, nacking and livery cars and commer- cial vehicles, and no commercial ve- hicle so licensed may transport passen- gers for hire. Numbers may not be transferred from one vehicle to an- other, but the one exception to this res‘ulation is the issuance of automobile dealers’ tags. A certain number of these are issued to bona fide dealers and may be applied. temporarily to automobiles held by them for sale or demonstration purposes. Upon the transfer of ownership of any motor vehicle, the owner is re- quired to remove the identification tags within 48 hours and report to the su- perintendent of licenses the name and residence and business address of: the erson to whom ownership has been tiausferred. New plates are issued for a fee of $1. In the event of loss or mu- tilation of the tags, a report must be made to the superintendent of licenses within 24 hours and a new set of plates will be issued for a fee of 50 cents. Every car must carry at all times a registration certificate which must be exhibited to any policeman on demand. If the certificate is lost a duplicate will be issued for a 50-cent, fee. Relay Cutouts Differ From Circuit Breakers that the represents Relay cutouts and circuit breakers in the electrical system unfortunately are regarded by many motorists as be- ing one and the same thing. They are not. Their purposes are entirely different. The purpose of the relay cutout is to diminish the charging rate of the gen- erator at high engine speeds. The function performed by the circuit breaker is to alternately open and close the circuit of a short or ground in the system. Doing this, it makes a clicking noise which informs the mo- torist of the trouble. Bent Forks Require Care at Once. Transmission shifter forks can be bent by rough handling. If such a trouble is suspected, it should be reme- died at once, although it may not seem to intefere with car operation. It means that gears are in mesh over only a small area. More than 1,000,000 cars were regis- tered in 1927 in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Texas. —————————————— _GENERATOR TROUBLE WE REPAIR ALL MAKES CREEL BROS. 1811-17 14th St. N.

Deep- ening of the frame members of the Cadillac, and the heavier reinforcement of both cars in the vicinity of the dash removes the possibility of front-end in- stability due to the greater engine power, braking force, and weight of the cars. A detail, but significant of the tention which the designers have paid to small factors in comfort, is the method of ventilating the driving com- partment in such a way that it not only is free from engine gases but cool in the hottest weather and under the most severe operating conditions. Instead of the conventional cowl venti- lator, two easily operated vents located in the sides of the cowl just above the floor boards, working. in connection with a vent at the base of the wind- shield, provide a cooling draft at the point where it is needed. points New Shift Is Uncanny. The new transmission, which seems a hit uncanny in the smoothness, si- lence, and positiveness of its action, is extremely simple in principle and sturdy in construction. The matching of driving and driven member speeds, going up or down through the gears, is achieved by two small cone clutches actuated by the control lever through a@ cam mechanism. When.the gear shift lever is, leaving the neutral posi- tion, it engages one of the clutches which synchronizes the speed of the two members to be brought into mesh. Both cars have more powerful en- gines, the LaSalle through the use of a motor of larger dimensions. In the case of both, the compression ratio has been increased to 5.3 to 1. This would seem to call for the use of a more vola- tile fuel, although, in fact, it is not necessary at all. In case the higher grade of fuel is not available nor de- sirable, standard grades of gasoline may be used with no effect deleterious upon performance if the spark is retarded to compensate for the lower combusti- bility. The changes in the engines, mostly refinemens, of course, give the Cadillac power plant a developed horse- power of 95 and that of the LaSalle 86.

Under any circumstances the discharge of an auto- mobile exhaust into a roofed enclosure should be regarded as a hazardous act.” There is nothing ambiguous about this statement. It means but cne thing: That death lurks within a gérage for any motorist who permits hte cngine to run longer than is necesasry for driv- ing tnto or leaving it. One must remem- ber that carbon monoxide is ar odor- less gas. It can not be detected as one would identify any of the other gases trat have distinguished odors. An ex- heust has an obnoxious smell, but that does not indicate the carbon nonoxide content. So that .he hazari is one which presents itself stealthily and wreaks its harm when it is impossible to combat it effectively. There is one remedy: Run‘\an engine only tn cpen. Then it may oe done with safety To Have or Not to Have. In spite of the number of them to be seen on the street, the roadster does not seem to have impressed all manu- facturers as an absolutely sable style 3y far,a majority have them, it is true, but there its consid- erable switching of sentiment. The point is quite interesting at the moment in the Hight of the discon- tinuance of roadster models by @ car maker who has had a really phenomenal success With this body style. The con- vertible, this manufacturer believes, answers the purpose more effectively. To offset this, two car makers whose e been particularly popular year, have found themselves liter- forced into the production of road- They thought they could indispen- this the | get along well enough without them, As result of roadster popularity, many observers are predicting that the maker who just dropped the model will pick it up again very soon. Advertising the Plane. Is the automobile industry uncon- sciously advertising the airplane or is it fully conscious of the significance of its use of wings as a symb»] of the car’s speed? Yes or no, there is no question- ing the fact that the symbol is the one rr.ost commonly used on radiator caps of the motor cars of the moment One of the most prominent manufac- turers has gone a bit farther He has worked wings into the headlights in addition to the pair used on the flat radiator cap. Road Is a Good Guide. Knowing just how sharp is the curve immediately ahead is a distinct ad- vantage viewed from the standpoint of safety. One can not always have such knowledge, of course. However, there is a method of determining fairly well what type of driving proposition the curve is going to be. That is by noting the character of the road itself. Roads may be graded in three ways with reference to the ease with which the curves upon them may be taken. The highway upon which the turns are banked presents no especial obstacle, The flat, uncrowned, and unbanked road is comparatively harder. The hardest of them all is the crowned road On such a highway, turning is made more difficult because the road actually is banked in the wrong direction. The driver should govern his speed somewhat in proportion to the char- acter of the surface the curves present. Speaking in Numbers. Numbers indicating horsepower are not unusual as model designations in the automotive field. However, the ordinary numerical designation tells but one thing about the car. An ex- ception to this rule is provided by a car maker who uses three figures in designating each of his five lines. The first is indicative of the number of cylinders, the second two, together, in- dicate the wheel base. A good idea, if understood. (Copyright, 1928.) OFAN PLUGS AID ENGINE OPERATION ——— + Points Must Be Properly Plac- ed for Maximum Effect Desired. CLEANING EASILY DONE Upon the proper functioning of the spark plugs depends to an important extent the efficient operation of the motor car engine, according to mainte- nance experts who have set forth cere tain rules which, if followed, will prove salutary in their results. In the first place, it is pointed out, the spark plug gap should be checked to make any necessary adjustment. Spark piugs will not deliver their maxi- mum spark unless the sparking points are properly spaced. The spark gap should be set at .020 to .025 of an inch. Spark plugs to function properly must be kept free of excess carbon and oil formations. Cleaning is easily done. Simply fill the lower part of the plug with alcohol, or any liquid metal polish, and allow to stand for a few seconds; take a piece of wire covered with one thickness of cloth and rub the carbon from the ine Sulator, then wipe clean and dry thore oughly before replacing in the engine, Cleaniny a plug in this way is far bet- ter than taking it apart toclean. When a plug is once taken apart there is great danger that it will not be put together securely again, which would cause leak- age due to it not being gas tight. This, in turn, causes loss of power. In cleaning the sparking points use emery cloth or a knife. When spark plugs are severely loss of power is often evident and eventually missing of the engine will occur which in turn produces the fole lowing major troubles: Oil pumping, causing formation of carbon and sticky valves; poor starting and excessive drain on the battery, poor running, loss of power, especially on hills; higher gaso- line consumption, larger engine repair expense and poor driving satisfaction, SMITH AUTO LAUNDRY Auto polished (best crade) Auto washed Auto olled and greased, $1.00 REAR 1012 14TH ST.

OMALLER ENGINES — FOR CAR SEEN NEAR Supercharging Next Logical Step in Combustion Engine, Is View. MEANS LESS OIL USE Supercharging is the “next logical step in increasing the output of the present internal combustion engine,” in the opinion of Louis Schwitzer as expressed in a diseussion of the sub- ject in the Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers Mr. Schwitzer further declares that “the development of supercharger apli:ation will lead to ® successful, flexible and economical two-cycle engine which, in my opin- ion, is the ultimate engine for automo- tive work.” “Probably 80 per cent of all passenger @utomobiles are driver 90 per cent of the time at ‘ess than 35 miles per hour,” Mr. Schwitzer points out. “Why, then, penalize the entire industry and 80 per cent of all ope:atérs with un- necessarily long wheelbase. extra bur- den in car weight, ani waste in opera- tion? The average 3,000 to 3,500-pound passenger car traveliny at 30 miles per hour requires from 12 to 15 horsepower. Horsepower Is Developed. “Most of the engines used in these Cars, at the engine speed necessary at this car speed, will develop from 50 to 55 horsepower according to the design. During the greater par’ of the time the cars are therefore operated at one- third to one-fourth throttle opening. No wonder the fuel consumption is practically doubled. “Why are such large engines used? Because excess power is necessary for accelerating anc hill climbing. The average road speed during the last two or three years has increased from 30 to 45 miles an hour. A great many trucks are also traveling at these speeds. To be able to pass this pro- cession extremely rapid acceleration is required. To meet the demand for top- notch pe-formance, engines of large piston displacement must be used. The resulting waste, however, is not only in the size of the engine, but in every- thing else that enters into the con- struction of the car. : yy a ee ey OWNS oP ae . a * oe a ee Pee NE 5 ee THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, | AUGUST 26, 1928. t impossible cither in shifting up ‘ . ‘5 > = * es 4 * sy ® . : : | Ge E Ro) ae P C4 SNAP oO . 43 . ‘ cae ss : lO Ae 3 NY “ OOO 4 , w . » _ There’s no doubt about the pro- of that trend toward larger and more powerful automobiles.

So long as they do this, he has no com- plaint to register. But the wheel maker looks differently on wheels. Coolness, sound dissipation, cleanliness and easy tandling are among the aspects of the wheel that he considers. He seems so successful in his consideration that it probably accounts for the average car owner's lack of concern over any other item than the wheel’s capacity to re- volve. o e o ° Only the very famous heretofore have achieved the honor of having cigars named after them. To have gained this distinction was the true mark of a great personality. As a matter of fact, it, still is, but there has come upon the horizon another “namesake” honor to vhich the great and near great may strive. Today it’s becoming the fashion to name motor cars after men who heve lived important lives. Witness De Soto, the newest convert to the trend, and witness also LaSalie and Cadillac, and do not forget the native-born Lincoln. The idea has great possibili- ties, . v - od Today’s cars are more completely equipped than ever and still the ac- cessory business is active and prosper- cus. That means a lot of good mer- chandising intelligence is going into the sale of accessories. For instance, there have come to hand -ecently several re- ports of motor car dealers who have taken their stock cars, especially sport type open ones, and equipped them even more comletely with really helpful and practical accessories which, in ad- dition to alding the motorist in vary- ing ways, give the car an individual ap- pcarance otherwise unobtainable.

DANGEROUS AND ANNOY There is no difference between a dis- orderly person and a disorderly driver of an automobile, in the opinion of E. Austin Baugham, Maryland commis- sioner of motor vehicles, except that the disorderly driver “is much more dangerous and annoying to his fellows” than the other species. “When any person commits an act which disturbs the peace of the com- munity, he is liable to be charged with disorderly conduct,” says Commissioner Baughman. “Is it not logical to look upon any motor-vehicle operator who, by improper driving, creates disorder and confusion, with probable ensuing disaster, as a ‘disorderly driver?’ “Disorderly driving endangers life limb, and any operator of a motor vehicle who so far forgets his responsi. bility as to indulge in this type of driv- ing should be prepared and should be made to take the consequences which may be meted out to him. “It is true there is no such term as a ‘disorderly driver’ in the automobile code, but certainly the term sticks in my mind and should carry as great a stigma as is placed upon the habitually disorderly disturber of a neighborhood. The disorderly driver is potentially much more dangerous and spreads the resultant annoyance and menace of his offense over a much wider area. “I feel that any vue who has experi- enced the nerve-rack:ng triai of having orderly movement of traffic disrupted and thrown into sontusion when a rap- idly moving vehicle passes around a smooth-flowing Lne of traffic and then is forced to seek a piace in that line to avoid traffic approaching from the op- posite direction, wil' agree with me that such a driver should be classified as a disorderly one.” DISORDERLY DRIVERS. 3 4 : (effort to do a good job. be remembered by The fact might However, a way can be found if the motorists who are “Much smaller engines can be used | motorist is willing to look for it.

If more power than the smaller engine will deliver at full-open throttle is needed for speed, accelera- tion or hill climbing, we then call upon our reserve and engage the compressor with an immediate and thrilling in- crease of from 40 to 60 per cent in The Old ~ Mechanic Says: I'm a great believer in this visual education. That’s why I was showin’ that chap that bucket of crankcase drainin’s when you drove up. By showin’ him just how dirty, how thin, and how filled up with abrasive and sludge the crankcase lubricant gets, I figure he'll be inclined to pay a lot more attention to the engine oil in the future. You see, one of the big troubles with gettin’ a man to take proper care of any feature of the car is that he doesn't have a picture of what happens if he doesn’t give a hang about takin’ care of it. The case of engine lubrication illustrates the thing particularly well. The average man thinks of engine ol! as he sees it in the container at the fillin’ station—a nice, green, thick lookin’ liquid capable of doin’ a good job of separatin’ movin’ parts of the engine. That's the way it starts out, but it doesn’t stay that way long. A few minutes in the engine and the oil gets a blackish color and its body or vis- cosity falls quickly under high temper- atures. That doesn’t mean that the oll’s no good after it’s been on duty a few minutes. It will last a long while after it gets hot and dirty lookin,’ but not nearly as long as most car owners seem to believe. I honestly believe that chap learned more about engine oil by lookin’ at those drainin’s than he'd have learned in any other way in the same time. As @ matter of fact, I like the idea so well, I think I'll try it on all the new car owners and a lot of the old ones who come in here. | DETOURS IN MARYLAND Middletown to Jefferson—From Mid- dletown (0.0) continue east on Na- tional pike to foot of Braddock Moun- tain, turn right (2.2), turn left (3.2), turn right at Y (3.5) to Jefferson road (3.7).

Steelcote Rubber Auto Enamel is not an ordinary paint or lacquer—although it can be applied over either. It is an automobile finish based on pure Para rubber —a finish that will not check, crack, peel or creep, but retains its original gloss despite blistering sun, driving rain, or the damaging effects of gasoline, road oil, acid or steam. Experience in painting is not needed to ap- ply Steelcote. Paint your car at home—it is impossible to leave brush marks, laps or flecks. The day after you paint it, your car can be used. And it will retain its luster for months after ordifary paint would be dra’s and dingy. Dealers have color charts showing dozens of colors.

- - |PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Locate THE WASHINGTON POST: ‘ Mrs. Franklin OD. Jones, chairman of va- cation activities for the District of Co- umbia Congress of Parents and Teach- ers, sends the follow- ing message to the children and _ their Parents for vacation activities: Play. in the home in which the en- tire family take part provides enjoyable activity calling for initiative from each member. It gives parents an oppor- tunity to know their children’s friends and it suggests ways of finding enjoy- ment which will persist for many years to come. From the National Playground Asso- ciation came the following suggestions fcr rainy day occupations: There are many delightful occupa- tions for a rainy day. Old magazines have many possibilities for entertain- ing children and the cost of such en- tertainment is practically negligible— pocket scissors with blunt ends. and crayons being the only other equip- ment needed. What child does not know the joy of playing with paper dolls? Often times they are dearer than any large and costly bisque dolls could ever be. For Toy Stories. Colored magazine advertisements provide material,for toy stories of va- rious kinds—restaurants, automobile sales rooms, clothing, delicatessen and grocers’ shops. When not in use, the store stocks may be kept classified be- tween the pages of a magazine. Furniture and whole rooms for houses may be found in magazines, as well as knives, forks and spoons with which to set the table when playing house or restaurant. | Fans—Cardboard fans cut in the shape of an artist's palette with pic- tures, jokes, poems and anecdotes pasted on both sides are interesting gifts to make for sick friends. Picture Puzzles—Picture postal cards may be cut into irregular pieces, thus making picture puzzles. Two may be put into one envelope, thereby making the game more difficult. Paper Flower Vases—Wall paper pasted on round cereal boxes with a border at the top will make a good container for a jar for flowers or a glass of jelly. Cheese-Box Stands—With two cheese boxes, which may be procured from a grocer, and three broom handles of equal length, a useful stand may be made. Nail the handles on the out- side of the boxes, making two box shelves, and paint them. Animal Pictures—Pictures of animals and children cut out of magazines may be mounted on cardboard at the top of the back of each so that they may stand up. Tells of Convention. Mrs. E. J. Dowling, clothes conserva- tion chairman of the District of Colum- bia Congress of Parents and Teachers, who attended the National Convention at Cleveland, made an interesting re- port on the duties of officers and members of the Parent-Theater Asso- ciation upon her return. Mrs. Dowl- ing’s report follows: “It is not to be presumed that this particular work is more important than the various subjects that were treated by other delegates, but as this particu- lar work appealed to me more forcibly than any other matter brought to my aitention during the convention, I have chosen it as the basis of my re-| rt. “An organized body is more efficient than an unorganized assembly; also a highly perfected organization will re- sult in better work than one that lacks cohesion. “The chairmen are the backbone of any organization, and the growth of it depends upon their achievements. They must know their own organization, be familiar with the work of other similar organizations in the city, be well versed upon all topics, purposes and research of the D. C. Congress of Parents and Teachers, also by attending these meet- ings learn the policy of the National ngress. gry e8 association can not exist with- out new members and to have a healthy growth a campaign must always be in force for this purpose, and if neces- sary inducements should be made to encourage activity among the children. “Knowledge of any subject can only be increased by the intermingling o! ideas, and to acquire the best news upon child welfare a subscrpiticn to the Child Welfare Magazine will amply answer the purpose. “The records of the associations in the District of Columbia compare favor- ably with the best in the United States. It is extremely gratifying for me to inform you that the favorable impres- gion made by the District of Columbia delegates to the recent national assem- bly in Cleveland is admirable. “The purpose of this paper is but a warning signal for the ultimate suc- cess of this noble work in the future; if it is our desire to progress. “where do you fit in the P. T. A. With its hustle and bustle of work? Are you one of the members who help it along Or just one of those who shirk? “Are you one of the average, just drift- ing along? Are you listed as Are you stalling to climb? How much are you pulling across? profit, or loss? for time, or starting “Just pull in the slack and count up your score; what you’re aiming to hit. Don’t waste ammunition and all your ambition; But find out just where you fit. Mrs. Ernest H. Daniel, hospitality chairman of the District of Columbia Congress of Parents and Teachers and chairman of the Middle Atlantic States Council, is spending a week at her old home in Irvington, Va. President’s Letter. Mrs. S. M. N. Marrs, president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, has sent out the following let- ter to all the State presidents: “Three months have passed since the Cleveland convention. They have been months of thinking and planning and studying on the part of the new na- tional president. “In looking forward to the new year’s endeavors it has seemed best to con- tinue, for the most part, the excellent program of the preceding administra- tion, emphasizing our objectives as set forth in the resolutions passed by the national body. “In order to make the most of our opportunities and to meet our respon- sibilities, it is necessary for us to bring into very close touch our great national |" organization and the members who com it. This must be done largely through the efforts of the State branch. With a strong and active group of com- mittee chairmen serving as the connect- ing link between the national and the local chairmen, a unity of thought and action can be brought into play that will go a long way toward cementing our efforts and strengthening and uni- fying our activities. Shall we make this} . one of our aims during the coming year, the success of which will result in the accomplishment of another, a par- ticipating membership? through such a program that we can hope to develop the individual mem-~- ers, an educated parenthood. Is it too much to hope that during the present administration this vital part of our program may go forward until in every one of our local groups a definite pro- gram of parent education is developed? Chief Aim Stated. The continued promotion of the parent-teacher movement in the open country should be one of our chief aims. It is hoped that in so far as is practicable every State will concen- trate its extension program on the organization of county councils. In no other way can we hope to meet the problem of organization in rural communities. “The National Congress is to be con- gratulated this year upon its splendid list of publications. The proceedings, a copy of which you have received, is a most attractive and comprehensive volume and a credit to our organiza- tion; ‘Parents and Teachers,’ our new textbook, can not be too highly recom- mended. Certainly a copy should be on the bookshelf of every association. These, together with the ‘Publicity Primer,’ the revised handbook, and the Child Welfare Magazine, will supply a vast amount of the right kind of in- formation, if @Qply they were used. Will you attempt to put at least one copy of each into every local unit in your State. It is my earnest desire that we shall continue to give our very best efforts to the summer round-up of the chil- dren. There is no doubt but this its our outstanding project. Since its be- ginning it has grown in a way that is hardly conceivable, and because of its fundamental importance and value it merits the fullest support and coop- eration of every member. Shall we strive to increase its service 100 per cent for the coming year? Field Service Need. “You have received the call to the September board meeting. I trust you are planning to be present. This is the most important board meeting of the year, for it is here we have time to deliberate upon many of the vital problems of the organization. This year we need to give much thought to the subject of field service. Will you not come prepared to discuss this question? May I say that I am in hearty accord with the idea of the presidents’ conference and recognize the wonderful opportunities for really constructive work through this chan- nel. The State presidents hold a very strategic position in the organization and on them depends much of the success Of the congress. “Shall we work together during the coming year for a closer contact be- tween the individual member and the National Congress, a _ participating membership, an educated parenthood, a strengthening of our organization through the development of informed members, the extension of the parent- teacher association movement into the It is only], Twin-Ignition motor High compression bers. “And then we must keep ever before’) " the aime and purposes of our found- New double drop frame ss ‘= “— - ~ «\ ‘ open country, a more general partici- pation in the summer round-up, and a keener appreciation of our individu- al responsibility and obligation to this great child welfare program, and thus carry on in a worthy way the tasks we have assigned ourselves.” Meets in October. The Middle Atlantic States Council, of which Mrs. E. H. Daniel, of the Dis- trict of Columbia Congress of Parents and Teachers is chairman, meets in Easton, Pa., in October. The council includes the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The following is a condensed. report of the outstanding accomplishments of the Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers during the past year: Organized seven new county coun- cils, five city councils and twenty new study circles. Presented work at four- teen teachers’ colleges. Cooperated with the State Department of Health, preschool division, in clinic work. Helped promote county library ex- tension, made a State survey of juve- nile court conditions, presented a pro- gram for rural schools. Cooperated with Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Asso- ciation in early diagnosis campaign. Cooperated with State college summer course. Presented work before county and local institutes.

Though the paid membership is only 100, there was an average at- tendance of about 150. Committees were appointed, and their work since has been active. The one which waited on the congressional committee in charge of District appro- priations was successful in fixing a suitable site and appropriation for the new Jefferson Junior High School build- ing. The ways and means committee met in early fall and planned for three out- standing features for the year—namely, a card party, an oyster supper and a play, which were carried out with very splendid results.

Activities at Kamp Kahlert have been centered around the work of the in- terest groups during the. past week. At the opening of each new week the campers are given an opportunity to enter into that activity which is most closely allied with the ambitions and desires of the individual. Among the offered each week are: Campcraft, dealing with fire building, trailing, pathfinding and outdoor cookeery; nature’s study, concerning birds, stars, flowers and trees; music, inicluding the appreciation of good music and participation in the week- ly music festival and the @special numbers, which contribute so much to the morning worship of the camp; dramatics, involving the costuming, stage managing and presentation of short plays and the arrangement of the camp ceremonials; first aid, pre- raring the girls for emergency treat- ments of injuries and for sane living at all times; journalism, publishing a camp newspaper, the Kahlert Krier, each week, and taking care of the camp bulletin boards and camp an- i'nouncements in generai. For this week the music group pre- | sented a light operetta, “Milkmaids and | Farmers,” on Wednesday evening. Great | credit is due to Miss Schuster and her assistants, Helen Rayner and Virginia Hunter, as the entire production was prepared for the stage in only four days Those taking part were Jean Har- den, Lillian Hardy, Florence Hardgrove, Dorothy Seaton, Elizabeth Profe, Anne Baker, Julia Klay, Mary Engel, Helen Sollers, Carol Waner, Gretchen Belcher and Blanche Hughes. The milkmaids | were Sally Stearns, Dorothy Wolf, June |Nettleship, Marion ‘Reuth, Josephine Balderstone, Jane Louise Stein, Ethel Jane Pidgeon, Lucille Profe, Dorothy Holland, Thais Spencer, Virginia Hun- ter, Helen Rayner. To complete the eve- ning’s program Edith Bruce gave a comic monologue and Gretchen Belcher a reading As the climax of the evening Virginia Hunter gave the waltz clas- sique as a solo Nature group has devoted the week largely to the study of birds After observing the inhabitants of the Kah- ‘lert trees, the girls mounted pictures of several of the birds Other members of the group have studied the leaves and have recorded their studies blueprints and plaster casts The en- tire group made a star chart, using a black umbrella for the sky and form- ing the most important constellations from gold star stickers Friday evening the Kahlert Dramatic Club presented two short plays en- 'titled “The Ghost Story” and “When the Clock Strikes.” Both plays were directed by Miss Lois J. Howard, leader of the group. The leading characters were: Nell Griffith, Virginia. Crump, Morjorie Whittier, Mildred Duryee, Marjorie Fuller, Mary Jane Mulford, Frances Douglas, Grace Hazard, How-- j}ardine Robinson, Marjorie Hedgecock, ‘Ruth Gilbert, Edith Bruce Ummie Hodge, Madeline Duncan, Betty Shipp, Elizabeth Waters and Lorraine Gerardi. On Monday the Kahlert Krier opened \the competition for the best photo- graphs of kamp and kamp activities. |The contest will close on Thursday. |Much interest has been manifested in ithe competition and many interesting | photographs have resulted. | Interest in swimming was stimulated 'by the construction of two new floats |during the week. Prior to the com- |pletion of the floats a beach patrol by means of boats had been maintained iby the members of the junior life sav- | on | ing corps of Kamp Kahlert. Since the opening of camp this summer 25 jun- iors and ten seniors have successfully completed the course in life saving pre- scribed by the American Red Cross. This week the members of the life say- ing corps have been developing endur- ance in the American crawl and speed in the breast stroke. Those in the class are: Betty Monroe, Betty Shipp, Frances Douglas, Nell Griffith, Reba Barten, Margaret Abbe, Clare Shumate, Gertrude Blakeslee, Mary Jane Mulford, Bernice Pitzer, Frances Fox, Anne Baker, Louise Burgess, Blanche Hughes and Leila Van Leer. Beginner’s swim- ming buttons were awarded to Esther | Burry, Margaret Cragg, Florence Car- |penter and Christine Hermann. Swim- mer’s buttons were won by Eleanor Rose, Bella Feldman, Jessie Barton Edith Hazard, Catherine Reeves, Caro! Little, Cornelia Robertson, Doris Pitch- er, Katheryn Mullowney. Additions to the life saving corps were Suddie Belle Rodier, Louise Burgess, Clare Shumate, Aria Marie Schwartz and Betty Craig.

BART CAMPBELL. HE old the United States Senate were scandalized. A gpraybeards of junior United States senator had the astounding temerity to propose that the sacred payroll of the American nation’s most august legislative body he profaned by the name of a female. It was unutterably in- credible. inexpressiblv indecent! He actucily intended to appoint a wo an as his secretary. Such a course of conduct on the part of a United States senator was unheard of, un- precedented. Aside from the moral issue involved, woman was notoriously a tattler. Ever since Adam accused Eve of lacking in discretion, woman had been unable to keep a secret. They—dignified United States senators— weren’t going to sit behind the closed doors of a committee room and permit a woman to listen in upon their deliberations during an executive session. That would occur in- evitably if the junior United States senator who would make a woman his secretary rose eventually to the rank of committee chair- man. He would then undoubtedly want to appoint her his committee clerk. She would be sure to gossip, to whisper to a curious outside circle the real reason—ohb, there was So much she could impart that the newspapers should not get hold of! The people were being informed too much already about state matters which were ex- clusively the business of the United States Senate, Think of a woman sitting in upon sena- torial conferences, No woman had ever heen employed as a genator’s secretary, or as a Senate committee clerk, and, by all senatorial tradition, no woman ever would be. But the junior United States senator had his way. He was Francis Emroy Warren, of Wyoming, Gen. “Jack’’ Pershing’s father-in- law. He trampled ruthlessly upon mildewed senatorial custom. He got what he went after, as is still his wont as, perhaps, the most picturesque member of the United States Senate of today. It was back in 1900, more than a quarter of a century ago, that Senator Warren girded himself to do battle for the right of a woman to sit as his secretary. He had been through many a bloody conflict as a captain in a Massachusetts regiment during the Civil War. Not for wrist-slapping had he been awarded the congressional medal of honor for gal- jantry under tire, His great bulk, towering well over six feet, was that of a born fighter. When Senator Warren overwhelmed the hoary prejudices of his aged colleagues 28 years ago he did more than provide a woman with a senatorial job. He smashed tke Sen- ate barriers against women employes for all time. Where there was not a single woman employed by the Senate or by a senator in those days there are now several hundred women upon the senatorial pay roll. The Senate wall against women did not crumble, however, before Senator Warren’s determined attack without some of his pro- testing colleagues seeking to impress him with the thought that they were making a great concession in permitting him to thrust a woman ina ‘“‘man’s job.” They stipulated with the utmost gravity that under no cir- cumstances was the Senate payroll to carry more than the first initials of the woman employe, most assuredly not the feminine prefix to her family name. ‘ : | " ’ ti DRIES aa ” PRATAP ng oe rns WASHINGTON Wahu dill Photos (C) Harris & Ewing. "4 Mrs. Martha R. Gold, shown at left above, as secretary to Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, also shown, has confided to her political and State se- crets of vital importance to the Nation. No lighter are the trusts imposed in Mrs. Leon M. Wells, the first secretary of her sex ever to have her name placed upon the pay roll of the United States Senate. Mrs. Leon M. Wells was the woman Sena- tor Warren appointed as his secretary, She is still serving him in that capacity, the dean of a steadily increasing number of capable women who are either senators’ secretaries or assistants, 3 Like Senator Warren, Mrs. Wells came out of the broad open spaces of Wyoming, the first geographical division in the wide, wide world, as she points proudly, to accord women the right to vote. It was an act of the Wyoming Territorial Legislature in 1869 that first granted women the franchise. When Mrs. Wells came first to Washington, Wyoming, grown to State- hood, also possessed the distinction of being one of but four States of the Union in which members of her sex could vote. Mrs, Wells, it can be truthfully disclosed, was then, how- ever, too young to vote, although ever since she attained her majority she has never failed to make the long journey home to cast a bal- lot. While Mrs. Wells believes firmly in women participating actively in politics, and in ex- ercising regularly their suffrage, she says she has no use for the “professional woman’s rights advocate.’”” She dismisses this type of the “female rampant” as “just a lobbyist.” And Mrs. Wells should know her lobbyist. She has had years of experience with all sorts and conditions of lobbyists, and one of her most important duties as Senator Warren’s secretary has been to shield her senator from the wrong kind of lobbying. “Preserve us from the dissatisfied, from the jaundiced,” is Mrs, Wells’ prayer, “‘but above all preserve us from the dissatisfied, the jaundiced woman, There is no reason why the average woman should not get a lot of joy out of life. Woman should find en- joyment in work and in play. I know I do. I enjoy working for my senator and I enjoy horseback riding and swimming. I am Satis- fied. But I suppose there will always be the dissatisfied woman, the ‘professional female’ who is ever chattering about ‘equal rights,’ just as there will ever be the dissatisfied mar raving about being down-trodden.” Mrs. Wells has been familiar with hard work ever since, as a girl, she set type in a job printing office in a town of her native Illinois. She was still in her teens when she responded to the call of the West. She found her way to Colorado, thence to Wyoming. It was as secretary to the chairman of the Wyoming Republican State committee, in the midst of the McKinley campaign of 1900, Photo (C) Harris & Ewing. Senator Francis E. Warren, of Wyome- ing, the fighting father-in-law of Gen. Pershing, who broke down the Senate barriers against feminine secretaries by appointing Mrs. Wells to that post. that she first became associated with Senator Warren, <i Senator Warren soon decided that Mrs. Wells was the possessor of “It.’”” He gladly welcomed her into ,his service, She found her work cut out for her when he’ brought her to Washington and made her his secretary in ‘the face of the opposition of his older col- leagues. He was then on the Senate claims committee which was still wrestling with the thorny problems bequeathed by the Civil War, The claims of ex-soldiers and of ex-soldiers’ dependents occupied much of the time of the senator and of his secretary, Many a tragedy of the war between the States was unfolded before both of them, especially when he be- came the committee chairman and she the committee clerk. Mrs. Wells lafer became clerk of the Sen- ate military affairs committee for the six years her senator was its chairman. Her duties have since been far more arduous, for Senator Warren is today chairman of the all-important Senate appropriations commite- . tee through which pass Government funds and “pork barrel’? allotments, It is not unusual for Mrs, Wells to be ap- proached by some one actively interested in SAE A aOR . Photos (C) Harris & Ewing. Mrs. Gladstone Williams, formerly Miss Sara Orr (above), had the distinc- tion of serving as secretary to three members of the United States Senate, beginning with Senator “Tom” Watson, of Georgia, and including the only wom- an senator ever to occupy a seat in the upper house—Mrs. Rebecca L. Fenton, pictured at right. the senator’s committee’s acting favorably upon a particular appropriation. There are invariably department and bureau spokes- men, lobbyists, politicians, all cf the big and little ‘“‘wire-pullers” and .x-grinders,”’ sleuth- ing and milling around the dvuors of the sen- ator’s private office and of the senate appro- priations committee room. Does Mrs. Wells reilly think the senator favors this or that appropriation. can she really say whether the ano int tor this or that Government branch :iay Le increased or ‘“‘cut?’’ Won't Mrs. Wells please use her in- fluence with her senator to have Mud Turtle Creek provided with sufficient money to transform it into a navigaLie stream—and incidentally boost the value of the land ad- jacent to it which real estate speculators are seeking to unload upon unsuspecting home- buyers? Mrs. Wells has grown accustomed to. the human question mark, Any vsenator’s secre- tary is, be he or she the most artful dodger of the information-craving throngs ever pres- ent in the Senate lobbies and anterooms when that body is in session. As the confidante of a cenator long in the service of the Senate, and risen high in the national councils of the Kepublican party, Mrs, Wells could reveal sec-ets, doubtless, of the political and legislative turmoil of the last quarter of a century that would make interesting history. But that isn’t Mrs. Wells’ way. She knows how to keep a secret, to re- spect a confidence, She is one of a number ci women on Cap- itol Hill whose lips are sealed, however in- Miss Cora Rubin, confidential sec- retary to Senator Borah, of Idaho, is not a stranger to the myriad delicate problems confronting those who serve as “buffers” between the public and those in high office. tent their ears and observant their eyes, against the es who infest both Thoma -enate and Hon The President iteg Stetes waa ine r peevishly about an appropria- tion measure just submitted to him for his approval, Congress had passed it without any considerable debate, in the final rush of a legislative jam, although in & day of economy. and retrenchment it seemed to carry the familiar aroma of the ‘pork barrel” into the White House.

There are also bucketfuls of loose aitamondads, pearls and other stones, probably several hundred pounds of them. They are all cut in the old way, of course, but they could easily be cut again, “T also remember a lot of votive offerings made of a single emerald hollowed out like a drinking glass and then ringed with diamonds as big as thumbs, “There are also hundreds of strings of big pearls which were used as religious beads or Moslem rosaries.” The lavishness of the sultans is seen in many of the smaller objects which fill the cases in the _ seraglio. There are many weapons of various ages and kinds, all be- jeweled and carved, any of which would bring the price of a king’s ransom, The military greatness of Murad IV is shown by a suit of chain and plate mail worn by him at the conquest of Bagdad. Its damascened plates, lucent as old brocade, are bright with jewels. The hilt of one sword is made from a single emerald, while another is a cluster of diamonds and some are ornamented with pearls. The last sultan, Mehmed VI, had laid claim to this treasure, but he died on the Riviera last year.

The perspiring executive is disposed to shrink from serious thinking; the salesman is inclined to stay indoors rather than face torrid sunshine; the clerk finds it more comfortable to sit idle than to dance attendance on a customer.

His example proved inspiring. Salesmen often complain that it is easy enough for bosses to sit in their comfortable offices and issue exhorta- tions to, redouble effort and double orders.

By JAMES NEVIN MILLER. OT long ago some 200 forest fires were started in the national forests of western Montana and northern Idaho by one of the most violent electric storms that ever broke over the Northern Rocky Mountains. Two thou- sand picked men were drafted temporarily into the employ of the United States Forest Service. For weeks they toiled in the midst of almost unbearable heat and there were occasicns when they scarcely could see more than a few feet in front of them because of the stifling, blinding smoke. Small wonder that every now and again the fire fighters lost their bearings or were forced to give way momentarily before an unusually vigorous mareh of the red enemy. Yet all the while an able ally was working on their behalf. It was the air patrol of the .‘orest Service. Swooping down into the most inaccessible places, the planes at regu- lar intervals toured the surrounding country- side in quick fashion, and the observers were able to gain a bird’s-eye view otherwise im- possible to _ secure. Thereupon ground operations could be directed from the air by the simple process of dropping tersely worded messages via stout canvas bags. For something like nine years now the Forest Service has been experimenting with the airplane to determine the various ways and means it could be used to help reduce our gigantic fire bill. Experts say it is close to $500,000,000 a year. The red enemy annually destroys thousands of acres of valuable timber land in our great national forests, besides killing many of our fast- disappearing animals which are s0 unfortu- nate as to happen to be on hand when a great fire starts its merciless massacre. Probably no occupation is more dangerous nor more spectacular than that of the forest ranger. From early summer to late fall he must be on the job, forever watchful.of the warning wisps of smoke which tell the story of a new blaze, However, time and again the airplane has proved to be the ranger’s able aid. Every year new and novel uses of the plane are tested and tried and this summer a new air patrol system has been put into operation by the Forest Service which many experts believe may revolutionize the science of fire-fighting. From ’way back in 1919 until the present season, the air patrol has been under the supervision of the Army Air Corps. That Government body not only nas supplied the planes, but many of its expert pilots have been ever ready and willing to work tem- porarily for the Forest Service. The result has been that cooperation of an extremely high order has been in evidence. However, early this spring, experts from the Air Corps, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Aeronautics of the U. 5S. Depart- ment of Commerce met in official session and decided that from now On the best pro- cedure would be for the Forest Service to handle the situation alone. Contracts would be made with the various commercial inter- ésts for the hiring of planes and men. Of course the Air Corps would continue to lend its valuable advice, but hereafter none of its planes or men would be used. Forest service experts expect that in the long run the new system will be considerably cheaper to the Government than was the pro- cedure in its early experimental stages, Con- gress annually gives $50,000 for maintaining the air patrol, but in the past the Air Gorps has spent sizable sums,which it eculd not very well afford, on a project which in the last analysis was outside its own immediate inter- ests. From now on, however, the Army will not be called upon to spend a penny. Which means that Uncle Sam’s pocketbook will not be strained in the matter of furthering the ' work. Our greatest national forests, and those which therefore are in most need of the air patrol, are within the States of Oregon, Wash- UME UTE EEL PULL WeeTTDATT AN THERE OO DPO ETT LAMAR ARLE ALLL ance re wry 4H a TWO MLM " myreveretn HI AANAHIN a KA eh hihi if ia il iu alin ty il ing i ith AAR TAA i Mi it > repnyenyt 26, 1928.

During the first season of 1919, regular routes of the air patrol were in operation from five main bases in the Northwest. For- est rangers took turns as observers and trans- mitted warnings of fires by méans of para- chute messages dropped over nearby towns. The understanding was that the finder of the message would telephone iis contents to the forest service authorities in the district, who were then to direct fire-fighting activi- ties, This first season was a signal success. Seven Army planes flew 2,457 hours while covering 202,009 miles in protecting the na- tional forests of California, Between June 1 and October 31, no less than 442 fires were reported, 27 of which were signted before dis- covery by the ground lookouts., Indeed, so much stimulated was the system that by the following year, 37 planes were put into regu- lar use, Flying from five bases in California and one {n Oregon, the observers sighted 741 of the 1,632 fires patrolled. In 1921 seven regular bases were put into operation. But in 1923 Cecngress for some reason or other frowned on the system, re- fusing to grant the usual appropriation. How- ever, it was restored in 1924. Several more years’ experimentation witn the regular routes now took place, when it was detided “ ‘t oe O22? toes, Pere a> aoe Above—The pic- furesque spectacle of a raging fire in Tahoe Forest, C'alif., destroying thousands of dollars worth of virgin tim- her, as viewed from a ranger of the air.

He, too, is stationed at a strategic point in the forest while his job is to direct fire-fighting maneuvers, Working directly under him are guards, firemen, “assistant rangers and patrolmen, All four kinds of workers fight fires upon occasions, but the first and last likewise help tour the timber stretches in search of conflagrations, Before the season opens the fire fighters must see to it that there is an ample supply of fire-fighting equipment distributed to points where probably it will be most needed in case of fire. The equipment consists of axes, Shovels, rakes,.mattocks, hoes, canteens, cooking utensils, emergency food rations and sometimes pumps, ‘ The rangers have arrangements with mer- chants, garage men, ranchers and employers of labor so that when big ‘ites are reported the authorities can, upon very short notice, get adequate help, transport the men to the fire line and forward supplies and equipment, Imagine, then, that a sizavle blaze has been sighted by an alert mountuin lookout, guard or patrolman. Here is what ordinarily hap- pens: First of all, the telephone is used, as explained above. Then the ranger gathers tcgether his corps of assistants, informs them ay to the best mode of prozedure, and the fight with the red enemy ‘s on. In all firefighting sdvantage must be taken of every natural situation. A blaze may burn rupidly up steep canyon sides, but may be stopped easily at the top of u ridge Fires usually die down during ‘he night and are most easily controlled imme‘iavely after day- break, when the humidity or moisture con- tent of the air is low, Humidity is an extremely important factor in firefighting. When ‘he air is hot and dry, humidity is low, and fires ace quickly started, But at night and during sveriods of fog or storm, when the air is damp and the humidity is high, remarkable firefigh‘ing progress may be made, Trenching fires is one of the most effective measures of control. sanzg2rs can readily tell by reason of wind aad atmospheric con- ditions just about where a eertain, threatened blaze will strike, and approximately how soon the blow will come. So they instruct their men to build wide, deep trenches at certain points along the path whee the fire is ex- pected to travel. The result oftentimes is that the blaze, if it be small may be checked altogether for lack of a con inuous stretch of forest on which to concentrate its devastat- ing endeavors. Or, at least, u the conflagra- tion be big, it will be checked considergbly. eed Small fires in grass aid forest litter fre-. quently can be beaten out with branches, wet sacks and shovels, Brush fires, if burning fiercely, are not so 2asily handled and it is usually necessary to clear a wide trail, or fire line, which the flames can uot cross some dis- tance in advance of the jire. In clearing the fire line, advantage is taken of open spaces in the brush which will permit the work to be done more rapidly, and of tops of ridges, where the fire does not usually burn go fiercely. Again and again back firing igs nece essary in order to control sizable blazes, Thig consists of building a road or trail or other favorable channel where the fire can be con- trolled readily and allowing it to burn back toward the main fire. When these two fire lines meet they both go out for lack of further material to burn. A back fire, however, if not carefully handled, is iikely te get beyond control and do serious damage. The method, therefore, should be used on'y by experienced firefighters, Having considered some of the highlights of the forest service’s regulation, firefighting procedure, we now come te the usey of the airplane in this regard Ag has already been stated, the plane today is an emergency in- strument only.

But whereas little ball or button earrings may be imitations of a compalatively cheap type and yet not be objectionable, the long earrings, by virtue of' their notigeableness, must be good, or they are very bad indeed. Button earrings, by the way, may be worn by almost any one at almost any time, but don’t forget that any earrirg usually makes its wearer look older and more sophisti- cated, jew- elry.

Meetings every Wednesday night through Station WBZ at 7:30, Eastern Standard Time The Misunderstood Lucivee. the French Cana- dian spelled Loup-cervier, affords a beautiful illustration of éhe way in which reputations often are built up. A bad name has the Lucivee in many sections. It is credited with dia- bolical cunning. It is suposed to be guilty of lying in wait to spring on the unsuspecting traveler, Kven among woodsmen, who should know better, it has the reputation of a man killer. Recently I was told the following story by a man whose boyhood was spent in northern Maine, on the edge of the great forests of that State. This is the way he tells it: “T once had an experience with a Lucivee, although I did not know I was having the experience until it was all over. I was about 7 years old. My father and older brothers were doing some Jumbering near home and it was my custom to take The Lucivee, by their noon lunch to them. It being midwinter, there was a crust on the snow that I could walk on, but it was not strong enough to hold up the others. At about 3 o’clock in the afternoon [ would take g short cut through the woods home, while the others had to go around by road, “On one occasion there had been about 3 inches of snowfall the night before, oblit- erating all trails. However, as the trail through the woods was blazed on the trees, J could find my way all right. I took the usual short cut. The next morning there were the tracks of Mr. Lucivee in the snow. He had followed my tracks right to the house, walked around the house a_e few times, put his paws on a window sill to look in, and then gone out to the barn. He had circled this two or three times, then taken a path down to the brook where we drove c¢at- tle to water. From there his trail led back into the woods. ‘“‘We back-tracked him to see how far he had followed me. We found that he had taken my track within 100 feet of where my father and brothers were working and had followed me to the edge of the woods. Apparently he had then sat or laid down and waited until all the lights were out in the house, after which he had followed my tracks home. Do you suppose that he saw me and was trying to get courage to pounce on me, but lost courage when in sight of the house? Or do you suppose that he just hap- pened to come on my tracks and it made it easier walking for him? I think, owing to the fact that he sat or laid down at the edge of the woods until after dark, that it was me he was after, Needless to say, [ did not take that short cut again.”’ It is perfectly natural that this man should feel that the animal was stalking him with murderous intent. I doubt that this was the case, however. The Lucivee is, of course, the Canada lynx, as a rule a trifle larger than the Bay lynx, or bobcat, which ranges farther south. Undoubtedly the lynx did see the boy and probably was not very far behind him all the way over that short cut. But it was curiosity rather than murderous intent Which actuated the animal. It is a habit of these animals to sneak along behind people travel- ing in the woods. Ernest Thompson Seton says: “So far I have not met with an au- thentic case of the lynx voluntarily attacking man. It may sneak along the hunter’s trail after dark and close behind him, but it seems to be actuated by curiosity more than any- thing else. And having come close enough to inspect or wind him, it is most likely to glide away in search of its proper prey. I have several times been followed in this way, but usually did not know it until afterward, when I happened to come back again to my old tracks in the snow.” Dr. E. W. Nelson, former head of the Biological Survey, says, ‘‘This animal does not attack people, although popular belief credits it with this action.”’ Other naturalists and hunters confirm these opinions. The lynx will fight savagely when cornered, or in defense of its young, but at all other times it is prone to run away or at least to keep out of sight. This is equatly true of the Bay Iynx, or bobcat, and, fur that matter, of other members of the cat famssy in America. A Nest’ of Young Fishermen. This summer a gang of men were taking gravel from a bank when they noticed a hole going straight back into the bank. They wondered what had made it, but did not give it much thought and kept on working. When WESTERN REOTAILED -HAWK>» PHIOTO BY LEW? WWALKER, had cut back the bank some 6 or 7%-feet thev were surprised to find the nest of a belted king they into fisher with youns: about the size of a blue jay. They could BAY LYNX OR > BOBCAT PHOTO BY WM.L.FINLE YY not fly, but did not seem at all afraid. These workmen were of the right kind. They appreciated the fact that they had un- intentionally destroy- ed the home of the birds, so they pro- ceeded to dig another hole in the bank 2% feet in depth, and into this they put all the young birds. The parents came regu- larly to. feed the babies. The new home was visited daily to see that the young birds were well cared for. Sometimes a trout and sometimes a pick- erel was found on the edge of the opening. By the time that the young birds were suffi- ciently grown to take to their wings, there was a great pile of fishbones there. At no time did the young birds seem capable of feeding themselves. The question was asked if:the mother tore the fish to pieces to feed her young. That is a question that I can not answer in full. Forbush says that the food and feeding habits of the belted kingfisher have not been fully investigated. I think it is extremely doubtful if those fish were torn to pieces. My impression is that the young kingfishers are not fed fish until they are big enough to swallow small fish whole. Ma- ture kingfishers are not in the habit of tear- ing fish to pieces. Their prey is usually small enough to be swallowed whole. A kingfisher can swallow a fish surprisingly large for the size of the bird. If the fish happens to be too large to be swallowed at once, it is pounded on a ‘tone or the branch , of a tree until dead, and then is taken in head first. Sometimes the bird goes through all sorts of contortions trying to swallow the big morsel. Digestion is extremely rapid with these birds, so it sometimes happens that the tail of the fish may be up in the bird’s mouth until the other end has been sufficiently di- gested for the bird to swallow the remain- der. It is a mistake to think that kingfish- ers feed entirely on fish. Water beetles and other water insects, crawfish; and even grasshoppers and crickets are eaten. It is probable that the young are fed on soft food of this kind in their earlier stages. . Min- nows are the favorite food of the kingfisher. Fishermen look askance at the kingfisher along the trout brook. The bird does get some small trout, but minnows are what it lives on chiefly, and minnows are great de- Stroyers of trout spawn. If we had any way of getting at the actual facts, it is likely that we would find that the bird pays sev- erals times over for the trout it takes through its destruction of the minnows. However, FARILY OF. BELTED FIMGEIFHERE HOTO BY WM.L. FINLEY around fish hatcheries and breeding ponds, which, of course, present an abnormal con- dition, the kingfisher can do a great deal of harm, Our wild life suffers so much from the common house cat that it is a joy to occa- sionally find the shoe on the other foot. Down in Connecticut, one of my correspond- ents has a large cat which is a great hunter, often averaging a rat a day, and some of these rats have been big fellows. A gray squirrel established a home in the attic, at the back of the house, und raised a family there. While she had these young the mother squirrel would start for that cat on sight and chase puss around the house until the poor rat hunter hardly dared go out of doors. This story is matched by one from Mas- sachusetts. A rabbit spent much of its time beneath a grapevine near a house. It was an object of constant curiosity to the cat which lived there. The cat would sit and watch the rabbit intently, frequently ap- proaching to within 4 or 5 feet, apparently without hostile intent: The rabbit would sit placidly for a long time, then suddenly make a startling stamping or thumping noise, and with its head butt the cat and send it rolling. What with a squirrel chas- ing a cat, and a rabbitt butting a cat, I am beginning to think that after all cats do not have things all their own way. A Naturalist’s Question Box. “Are there any more ivory-billed wood- peckers in America?” asks Frank B. Jones. Yes, there are still some of these giant woodpeckers, but they are confined mostly to the almost inaccessible swamps of south- ern Georgia and Florida. “Do the fringed gentians live over, or do they come up every year from seed?”’ asks Glenn Edgerton. The fringed gentian is an annual, not a perennial. Therefore, it must make seed. That is why fringed gentians should not be picked; they should be allowed to make seed, or they may soon become extinct. \

Marine Corps. i HE cruiser’ g yearly overhaul in New York Yard was finished and she cast off ‘her lines, The bled to the beat of the main en- gines and a tug nosed alongside to take hold, and the cruiser was under way. The marine captain said io his junior by the life line, ‘“‘Look—ain’t that our former gunnery sergeant retirin’ up the dock yon- der? The scoundrel shoved off without sayin’ bon voyage or anything. See him?” “Yes, sir; I was talking to him below. Said he had a week-end liberty from Quantico; said he just stood by to see us off. I didn’t see him go over the side, though—oh, forward gangway, of course.” “Well, he was a good man. Wish him Joy. You know, I kinder thought old Murph would get off with Mike, havin’ him up with his folks to live since that last blizzard. Told me his mother was crazy about him—Mike, I mean.” “Yes, sir. Murph did say, when he was transferred, that Mike would go with him— bet he was wild this morning! Murph always claimed Mike was his dog—but the guard wouldn’t be the guard without Mike.”’ A bugle blew “Attention!” They rounded into the stream, and the saluting guns ren- dered the prescribed honors to the Com- mandant’s flag. Manhattan Bridge an@ Brooklyn Bridge loomed over the cruiser’s housed topmasts. On the starboard hand the fabulous towers of New York, whitened a little by last night’s snow, receded under a pale winter sun that had no heat or color in it. “Fourteen thousand miles last cruilse— wonder what we log, this.’’ ‘“‘Well—be back next year.” “Yes, an’ it’s time to shove off now— money’s all spent; girls all kissed—an’ there’s better likker in Panama!”’ ‘‘Belay! there’s retreat.”’ The line stiffened. ‘“Guard—’tention! miss the guard.” Returning the salute, practical eye down the line. Where’s Mike?” “Sir, he was right here jus’ before quarters went.” Presently there was dismay on the gun- deck where the marines live. The captain and the lieutenant stood by gun 7, and they were angry men. The noncoms and the sec- ond-cruise fellows raged all together. And @ pimply-faced recruit who had toted his sea- bag aboard an hour before sailing said help- fully: “If you-all’s lookin’ for that little black dawg, I saw a gunn’ry sergeant stick him in his overcoat just when we-all went up- stairs.” “So you did, hey, you “Well, seh, I never knowed—he said it was all right when he seen me lookin’ at him, an’ he told me to go fall in; besides, he was a gunn’ry sergeant’’—for the recruit was just from Parris Island, where a gunn'ry sergeant is the peer of kings. . . . “And,” concluded the captain of marines, when he could think of no more words, ‘ old Murph put it over. The lousy scalawag! An’ I make you my compliments, you bladider- headed animals, you, that let one Man come aboard in the daytime an’ get what he wants and walk off with it. Police sergeant —take this—this—this critter here’—and in- dicating the distressed recruit—‘‘an’ instruct him about ladders an’ hatches an’ so forth. Up-stairs, good Lawd! Have I got a flag- ship guard or a bad dream?” And the cruiser went out into winter weather at its worst. The destroyer people, whose little tin boats run up and down continually on all the seas, say that the Atlantic, between Bar Harbor and Crooked Island Channel, is the worst water you'll find. This day there were hur- ricane signals up from Barnegat to Palm Beach, and’ the cruiser bucketed. souta through it all. Guantanamo is where the ships do their annual small-arms training. It is a hot and windy dent on the south coast of Cuba, to- ward the eastern end, where barren hiiis come down to water incredibly blue, and mirages flicker and dance across the rifle ranges so that your target, at 500 yards, ap- pears to be doing a shimmy over your siguats. The marines are always delighted, in their wrong-headed way, to get ashore on their own: besides, rifles are their mission in life, and a man gets $5 a month extra for expert, rifleman qualification and $3 for sharp- shooter. “Damn!” said the files in the first motor Jaunch, shoving off. ‘*’Member how proud Mike was to get ashore las’ cruise? Up in the bow wit’ the automatic rifles, he was.” The croakers of the guard harped on the theme. They were frank: Mike was the luck of the outfit; look at the weather we’ve had. An’ how slow the new replacements are. snappin’ into it—every one of them wit’ two left feet. Not like last cruise. Gonna be some cruise, this is! “Aw—knock it off!’ growled the hard- headed lieutenant of marines. “Murph and some of you crooks stole Mike year before last from Fish Point yonder—go steal h’s bicther. And you will pipe down that croaking, or si But the guard was in no mood for ae stealing. Another dog in Mike’s place would be worse than_no dog at all. Mike had come aboard a small and impudent puppy. He had taken amazingly*to seagoing—more apt in learning, said his messmates, than the smartest marine the Norfolk Sea School ever set to salt water. Knew all the drills, had his station, billet number and rating. No other dog would live in Spartan sim- plicity on the gun-deck, scorning ward-room comforts and snubbing all officers save his own. No other dog would ever learn to present arms with the guard. Even the captain said, when the first ser- geant brought Mike’s staff returns to oe closed out for desertion: “No—we'll just carry him as a straggler. He'll join up again, maybe.” ‘And they missed him in the evenings after chow, when the men sang in deck trem- First sergeant—dis- the captain ran @ “Hi—Bogert! ’? front of their tents, and the quick West [n- dian dark gathered, and the stars blazed blue-white in a velvet sky, brighter than the harbor lights. For the appointed time the cruiser’s people toiled, burning to saddle color in the fierce West Indian sun, and firing prodigious amounts of .30 caliber ammunition, And the cruiser ran southwest across the Carib- bean, coaled at Cristobal, visited briefly her base port on the Pacific side, and departed on affairs of state up the south coast of Cen- tral America, over a sea where a sleepy wind moves and the decks are wet always with warm rain, and water spouts run restlessly to and fro between squalls, Meantime, Mike lived in a flat up beyond the Branx with the parents of the gunnery sergeant, until that merry fellow should con- sider the winter sufficiently spent for Mike to stand the drafty temperatures of Quantico Barracks, For Mike was a warm weather critter, born close under the line, and his friends feared pneumonia or somthing, Liv- ing so, he grew fat to a disgusting degree. Spoiled like a grandchild by two elderly people who had nobody else to play with, his figure lost its lean, efficient lines, and he Tan es NY meats and casting them into a pot. Mike loved meat.’ The man did not look; Mike nuzzled his calf. Then he stood on his hind legs and barked once, politely, deferentially: “IT say, Jack, how’s it for a piece of chow?” And Alfred Tupper, fo’c’s’le cook on §8, S&S. jenlothian, whirled with a twitter, for the condition of his. nerves was deplorable—that Yankee gin he’d been so incautious as to drink evening, with certain American chaps. He was not an attractive person, this Al- fred Tupper. He was bottle-shouldered, with a pendulous stomach and a pasty face, and his long nose overhung a mean little mouth. He was the sort of fellow who always has a woman or a dog attached somewhere for mistreatment—a woman usually, for dogs a surer instinct about such things. “Cripes,”’ said Alfred Tupper, and worse than that. “Strike me blind if it ain’t a tike, Now, wot the bloody——” His first idea was to kick the tike through the bulkhead; Mike was a smal! dog, and it Then he noted that the tike stood on his hind legs .with an air, a cer- tainty, that denoted education, Alfred JTup- per was @ chap always on the make; he had last have looked safe. across them, dipping her red ensign to the Stars and Stripes, Alfred Tupper, on the ‘fo’c’s’le, was giving Mike a bath, preparatory to a run ashore. He looked briefly at the gray ships and swore at Mike, who for some reason Was all worked up. chion, known good things to come out of dogs be- fore this. He gave Mike a plece of meat, and he took advantage of Mike’s interest in this victual to make him fast to a Then he appraised his capture. No visible ownership—Mike’s neck had grown too fat ashore for the orna- mental collar, suitably engraved with his name, and ship, that the black gang had made for him, and a new one had not supplied. Smart lookin’ tike, with a eye to him, Belonged to somebody, surely, Question was, would they come lookin’ for him? In view of the fact that S. 5. Benlothian was a mean ship, on the back side of an obscure dock, Alfred Tupper didn’t think so. Sailing in an hour, anyhow. Just take him along; Alfred Tupper was for the moment without a pet. They presently dropped down East River with Mike still fast to the stanchion, S. S. Benlothian was a ship of no special character, She carried the flag of a little house, on leisurely runs between Liverpool, New York, Havana, Panama and Valpariso, with intermediate stops. One degree above a tramp, She took freight and such passengers as were not particular. What happened on her fo’c’s’le was no concern of any person’s, and being reasonably fond of dogs, I will not dwell upon it, Alfred Tupper, in the course of a misspent life, had served with an American dog and pony show, and he knew the mysteries of that trade, He started out with the lavishing of a new collar on Mike, which was very fine to see, if you didn’t know what the inside of the col- lar was like. Mike, even after he joined up with his own folks again, never carried his head quite the same, For Alfred Tupper took up his education in a serious way. There was nothing gentle about his methods, but they were effective. From a sleek, arrogant fellow, looking every man in the eyes, Mike was transformed into a wretched, cringing little brute, All the curl went out of his tail, and the look of him was pitiful. But he knew what he must do when Alfred Tupper played ‘‘God Save the King’’ on a mouth organ, and he knew how to sit up and ask for a drink, and jump through arms, held so, and balance Alfred’s cap on his nose, and to die for his country, and a lot-of other pretty capers. By the time ‘S. 8S. Benlothian made Port Limon, Mike was a success in every cantina Alfred Tupper visited. A man may pick up a flock of free gin from the slightly boiled if he can inject some small entertainment, like a per- forming tike, into an evening, and Alfred considered that Mike was worth all ‘the trouble he caused him. S. S. Benlothian transited the cana] and ran down the Rainless Coast, following her stan- marks of rate been bright ~occasions in and out of roadsteads like Mol- lendo and Arica and Iquique and Antofagasta, all the way to Valpo; and came back north again. She had much business, including coal, at Balboa, and she tied up at pier 16, just inshore of the American ‘squadron an- chorage by the canal mouth. This day the flagship and a gunboat were, riding to their buoys there, and S. §, Benlothian swung a party, with a month’s pay in their pockets. It was a sort of an occasion; they had done a g£00d job of work up the south coast of Central America, and they felt high. All hands except the guard of the day, from the top sergeant down, were present. Even the junior music, miraculously unrestricted for misdemeanor, was along, and they all as- sembled at Billie Bean’s place. Each man had chipped in according to his rank, and sillie Bean was furnishing sandwiches and the use of. the arbor back of his dance hall for he esteemed the guard. There was any amount of beer, and the ship’s band had been invited, so that music would not lack; and the guard’s favorite hospital corps man and the big ship’s cook, who always went ashore with the marines, were present, It would be between 9 and 10, with two hours of liberty yet to go, when Alfred Tup-, per and the melancholy Mike got down to sillie Bean’s place; they had started at the other end of town. Mike had been ugly all evening, and both he and Alfred showed Alfred had found it necessary to carry him; he wouldn’t lead at all, in spite of his collar. But this far, luck had been mighty kind to Alfred; in Panama, where Mike was known for two cruises, no person had recognized him, They raised the lights of Billie Bean’s and paraded to the bar. It was a good night at Billie Bean’s, Be- sides the regular customers, a big English boat was in, carrying some hundreds of Irishry out to Australia, on a _ settlement scheme, The fo’c’s’le of a Norwegian was present in a body, large, crop-headed fel- lows drinking aquavit. Most of the Ben- lothians were there, and other merchant chaps were represented, The front bar was rather crowded, and the dance hall behind was paying for itself. Alfred Tupper set Mike upon the bar and did something secret, and Mike got on his hindquarters and barked. ‘Hi, mite,” said Alfred to the gentleman in the white jacket, heartily, ‘‘me little friend ’ere says ’e’]l ’ave a spot o’ Old Tom. An’ a spot fer meself, eh? No fears bout tiltin’ the bottle—right-o!” Alfred flung small coins on the bar and shot down his slug. “Ow, ye don’t fancy yours, wot? No fear, I’ll tike it—never waste good ’Ollands, wot?” And he wiped his mouth and began a long account of his little friend. “Mite, hit would bloody well hastound you, the store I set by that there tike, Like brothers, we are—like brothers, There’s few tikes like him | Mike, still erect, kept an uneasy eye.on Alfred. From the arbor came a gust of song—a hundred men yearning thunderously for “Sweet. Adeline.” Mike rolled his eye that way and shivered violently* * * And a fellow lounged alongside and said: ‘*Man, it’s a grand tike ye have, that same. Meself, I’m all for the beasts. Sittin’ on his hunkers like that, % _‘d he be knowin’ any tricks, now?” Later Mike “sat a the center of a table, among beer mugs, and wretchedly made sport. And two petty officers drinking, near by said: “Amoosin’ mut, that. Kinder like the mut wear, the Marines uster. have, aboard—they lost overlooking personal him sommers, What was that mut’s name, now?” Private Jones was not one of the big men of the guard; when the guard formed for ceremonies, his squad was more than half- way down from the right, where the first squad ran 6 feet 3 or so. But what there was of him was very compactly put together. He had been out for air; the property ser- geant had said to him, like a father: “Now, listen, Jones—you're gettin’ tight. Now you just get outer here an’ run around the block a couple of times.’’ Heewas returning with his head cleared. He passed the group at Mike’s table—Mike had muffed one, and was being corrected—and he came to a full halt. “Say, guy, where’d you get that dawg? said, where’d you get ’im?” Mike had been standing stiffly with Al- fred’s cap on his nose; now he whirled around, Alfred caught him a cuff and cursed, He told this sunburnt bloke in khaki where he could go, him an’ his tight pants an’ his tin-pot Vivy, too—blowin’ in on a hartistic ak like this here, ‘“Lissen,’”’ repeated Private Jones earnestly, insults, ‘that’s our dawg. That’s Mike. Of the Marine Guard, U. & Ss Mike whined very pitifully and quivered; Alfred Tupper snatched at his collar and Jones saw. The closest way to Alfred was across the table, and Jones took it. The table over- turned, with other matters; Mike barked, one of the dance girls screamed, and Alfred said nothing whatever, because Private Jones him- self was using his windpipe. The jolly mer- chant seamen at the table picked up chairs and danced around the pair on the floor, watching for an opening; they didn’t care about Alfred Tupper, but they resented mili- tarism, Others jammed in, catching up chairs, bottles, steins, anything; especially the Irishry. They didn’t know what it was all about, but they had hopes, It was the narrow-eyed bartender who whis- pered to the bar boy; that volatile Jamaican scuttled back to the arbor, and immediately thereafter a wave of marines rolled silently through the door at the flank of the long bar, and waded in. The fo’c’s’le of the Nor- wegian finished their aquavit and rose to a man, baring huge freckled arms, People crowded in from the dance hall; odds and ends from the harbor bore a hand, and thé girls took refuge behind the bar, squealing. In an instant, the place was a perfect hell; pacifists there present went away; Khon Istmeng is no friend to peaceful folk. Bot- tles sung through the air; chairs and tables crashed into ruin; a stool flung by a huge marine ripped down the array of bottles be- hind the bar, from an enfilading direction, smashed the big mirror and caught Billy Bean, entering from the dance hall to in- vestigate, square on the bows. Billie Bean, a robust person, roared like a lion, caught up a bungstarter and came into action with com- plete impartiality. The astute bartender, from under the bar, sent his Jamaica boy for the police, the naval patrol, and the special service patrol, and the special service squadron, if the last pened to be available. All at once there were uniforms in the street doors; a lieu- tenant with a black armband blew piercingly on @ whistle. And the gunnery sergeant of the guard, who had climbed on the bar for observation, thought fast; he made a dive at the switch behind the bar and pulled the lighting. In the breath of comparative si- lence that followed the sudden dark, a great voice spoke: “All right, hap- marines—get clear — hold TLTTAL £1 GELLL) WALAATALLAAAAAL PRA ARARMAAIA LLL MALL LI CAARAI REA LLL ARAYA mT 4 | iu Mi nna nn AIURATUMUIRA RUA MMU UAT wa UMMC RM he DO GD ei everything ‘se aboard—back to the ship, all hands!” There is nothing like military discipline, even in a barroom row. When the furious Billie Bean found his lights again, all the patrol officer netted were two or three ma- rines who had been engrossed in their work to such an extent that they had not heard their orders. The marines stated that they had been attacked and were defending themselves; would the patrol officer please take care of them? The Panama police made numerous captures, and the fine new bastile of Panama City was a populous place that night. It is just a dash from Billie Bean’s place to dry and orderly Balboa, as you go down to The first sergeant shepherded his men on the Balboa road, and squad lead- ers checked up. ‘We'll just shove on back,” said the first sergeant, nursing skinned knuckles. “Any casualties? And did anybody find out what it was about?” ‘‘Word was passed some of these here mer- chant marines beatin’ up a gyrene, all I heard,”’ “Well, it was a good scrap anyway, Who was it gettin’ beat up—and how come?” “Say, one guy was all set to massage your dome wit’ a table leg, an’ I kicked the seat of his pants right up between his shouders, 5 Gid.: Bavyi~ “Jam like weapon in the docks. this, chair makes the best the worl’.

HELPLESS BEFORE LIGHTNING’S FL ui hi? =e AD LA ideal) ii bbls By HARRY GOLDBERG MAN-MADE bird shoots _ swiftly through the blue. A fragile shell of steel holds men who guide it grace- fully through. a clear and pleasant sky. Out of the immensity black clouds appear and Surround the plane. In the darkness mys- terious energy gathers. great. strength. Millions of drops of water flow together, each contributing a mite of power to forge a thunderbolt. C-r-r-ash! Light cleaves the heavens, and the steel ship, a moment ago lifting itself so confidently through the ether, is sliding down the wind. Lightning has dashed it out of control, perhaps stricken its occupants to death, and the plane spins and dives, smash- ing itself to fragments on the earth. Here is a Nemesis of aviation which man has not yet learned to control. Men riding the sky are always in danger of the static electricity which condenses into a pool of high potential during a storm. While heavy clouds ahead give warning and it is some- times possible to rise above or fall below the cloud banks, the sudden onset of a storm is a danger which it is difficult to avoid. The menace of lightning to air travel comes sharply into public view as the result of a series of recent disasters which many experts attribute to the thunderbolts. Capt. Emilio Carranza, the ace of Mexican fliers, returning to Mexico City from his good-will tour in the United States, lost his life near Chatsworth, N. J., during a storm. Morris Titterington, inventor of the earth inductor compass, which made it possible for aviators to hold a long, difficult course and which assisted materially in the success of Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Byrd and the Pacific fliers, lost his life near Pottsville, Pa., when his biplane crashed in a sudden storm. And it is not long since Lieut. U. G. Ent, of the Air Corps, miraculously escaped death when, shortly after the start of the elimina- tion race from Bettis Field, Pittsburgh, the ill-fated Army Balloon No. 3 was struck by lightning, resulting in’ the death of Lieut. Paul Evert, the pilot. Carranza’s body was found in a wilderness of woods and berry bogs. Beside the dead aviator were the ruins of his ship, a mono- plane similar to the aircraft which took Lindbergh across the Atlantic and down to Central America. An hour after Carranza had left Roose- velt, Field an airplane was heard above the hamlet of Chatsworth. There was the sud- den lull of sound that precedes a storm in the open country, and as the drone of. the motor began to dwindle away the rain fell in torrents, thunder in sudden salvos rever- berated through the sky and the swift repe- tition of lightning flashes lighted the night with its reflections. Far away in: Mexico City huge crowds were assembling to do Capt. Carranza honor, and when he did not appeur in the air lanes the next morning, the search over the storm area revealed his braken ship and battered body. The severe electrical disturbance is blamed for the death of Carranza. Part of his leather jacket was charred and one wing yielded similar evidence of the work of a thunderbolt. * ad * 7 ITTERINGTON, while not so prominent in the public eye as Capt. Carranza, was an old hand at aviation and widely known among airmen. He was flying with Mrs. Pa- tricia Perry in a modern-type plane. The plane was gliding along a ceiling of 1300 to 1400 feet when a sudden storm swept over the country. The plane seemed to disappear for a moment in a cloud and when it reap- peared it was obvious to observers on the ground that it was out of control and side- slipping. The ship fell 300 to 400 feet, then seemed to right itself, whether by accident or by the hand of the pilot will never be known; it flew for a moment or two on an even keel and then plunged to the earth. It landed, a ScgbbesUbeapeshasaasstcsseseh 8 sein guint 4 wotcrcetreeronesgerece.- os Ct eaphy neti rnett ints a satti,!

So far as is known at present, nothing can be done to challenge. this menace which flashes sudden death to airplanes. There are experts who do not believe that all the air casualties attributed to lightning are the re- sult of its power, but there is no doubt in the minds of men identified with aircraft that lightning does strike and carry with it a lethal charge. Commander W. W. Webster, chief engi- neer of the naval aircraft factory at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, explaining the man- ner in whichta bolt acts in the air, declared that there is no way to dodge these electrical discharges. “Pilots can try to escape the storm area,” he said, “by avoiding the clouds, but sud- den storms are dangerous and can not be Every one knows that a drop of moisture contains a charge of static elec- anticipated, tricity.

While the lightning hazard will continue to exist in the sky as it dces on the ground, Commander Webster believes that the deaths caused in storms which are rect due to light- ning can be eliminated if the aviators will learn the technique of flying by what is known as the “artificia] horizon.’ ‘While fliers of experience get the feel of the ship and its relation to the earth and seem to fly without locating themselves on any fixed object,” said Commander Web- ster, “any pilot who attempts to fly without scientific ald in a storm can never be cer- tain that he knows what he is doing, . om + * ‘s¢\ ROUND tests in whirling chairs have shown that blindfolded men lose their sense of direction and aviatore flying in the dark spaces of a cloud are no better off than men who are blindfolded, They can not see the earth.

A man whirled to the right and then swung to the left will continue to believe he is still going to the right for a few moments. If he is whirled back and forth he soon loses any sense of direction. “But in using the turn indicator there will be a sure indication that the ship is moving to the right or left. The bank indicator will indicate whether the ship is sideslipping or banking properly; the altimeter will show whether the ship is dropping or rising, and the compass will indicate direction. “These four instruments are flying guides which should be used in bad weather to the exclusion of relying upon the senses. Lind- bergh, Byrd, Maitland, Hegenberger and other fllers of that type all use this method of fly- ing, which should be universally taught in all flying schools to cut down the number of deaths in storms.” County Suicide Is New Kind of Tragedy Death from suicide, a verdict given when James County, Tenn., voluntarily wiped itself off the map of the United States as a separate entity, may become a popular method of sav- ing expenses and improving public welfare in the country. A tax rate of $2.60, effective before the voters of that section decided to amalgamate with Hamilton County, was changed to $1.30 after the amalgamation became effective, the Farm and Fireside Magazine points out. “We got ten times as much for our tax money as we did beforé the consolidation,” says T. J. Smith, one of the oldest residents in what was James County, quoted in the magazine. Where there were nineteen schools in James County alone before the change there now are ten schools, with better equipment, better teaching staffs, and they are operated at less expense. “Automobiles and telephones nowadays make a county seat every few miles a sense- less encumbrance on the public purse,” says the magazine. ‘‘No one knows how many needless sets of county officers and unneces- sary courthouses are keeping farm taxes high and delaying improvementy.” Among Grindstone Users.

WILLIAM DUNCAN ANY years ago Hannibal learne@ that M brain can triumph over brawn, and today that great general is being emulated by many soldiers of sportdom. Hannibal, a big sword and shield man from Carthage, was really the first effec- tive mental-threat man in history. He was a past master at the sport of kings, which, in his day, was following the enemy instead of the ponies. A real triple-threat man was Hannibal. He could break through the center of the Roman line at will, skirt a flank with ease and then come up for a surprise attack from the rear. He crossed the Alps only once, but he double-crossed the Romans dozens of times, and the mere mention of his name threw fear into the hearts of even those doughty warriors from the Italian peninsula. Hannibal blazed the trail for the success- ful application of psychology in heated com- petition. He proved that an inferior physi- cal force can, with the aid of psychology, frequently triumph over a superior physical force. He used his name and his reputation for strategy to chill the hearts of the enemy. He did the unexpected. He became a leader in his century, and his success has been emu- lated by great warriors such as Babe Ruth, Gene Tunney, Walter Hagen, Ty Cobb, Jack Dempsey and Bill Tilden, who have followed his example on the battlefields of sport. ¥ 7. * ¥* UNDREDS of later have a mighty warrior of the diamond who uses psychology with telling effect. Many people who have seen him in action believe that Babe Ruth is just a mighty hitter and noth- ing else, but, as a matter of fact, he is also a student of practical psychology. Watch the Babe in batting prior to the start of an American League game. He walks into the batting cage, swings with might and main and knocks a couple of balls over the wall. The fans have arrived early yell with glee. They think the Babe is doing that slugging solely for their benefit, But they are wrong. Babe hopes the mem- bers of the opposing team are watching. He wants to keep impressing on their minds that the mighty Ruth can still hit—that he is liable to break up the coming contest at any moment. Before the. third game of the Series in New York the Babe psychological effect to the limit. The burgh Pirates, champions of the League, had lost the first two games in their home city, but had put up some semblance ofa fight. On this day the Yanks were back on their home soil. Ruth's friends were out en masse. And the Babe, in tice, warmed their hearts and Pirates’ hearts by knockin® ball after ball into the bleachers. The Pirate players stop- ped throwing balls among themselves and gazed at the pellets flying from Ruth’s bat into the stands. To any student of psychol- ogy it was easily seen that they were beaten before they started. The game an easy victory for the Yanks. It would naturally champion of Gene would use psychology, Jack Dempsey and years we practice who 1927 World worked this Pitts- RT Ngtional batting prac- froze the resulted in be supposed Tunney’s and that a intelligence did. When Tunney met for the world’s heavyweight title in Philadelphia, September 23, 1926, the Manassa Mauler went into the ring a decided favorite. But the gambling fans had reckoned without con- sidering psychology. A few days prior to the fight Tunney, upon breaking camp, had flown from Stroudsburg, Pa., to Philadelphia in an airplane. That was something new. It was certainly the unexpected. The fact that Tunney used an airplane in- stead of an automobile or railroad to go from Stroudsburg to Philadelphia did not damage Dempsey’s nose or crack a rib, But it did damage him mentally. It showed him that Tunney was on the aggressive, that he was not afraid to take a chance. Tunney con- tinued those aggressive tactics after the bell rang and won the decision and title. Many critics believe the airplane stunt upset Demp- sey more psychologically than any other happening prior to the start of the fight. * - * ¥* he HEN it comes to golf, there is no one who uses psychology more effectively than Walter Hagen, famous American pro- fessional, who won the British open this year and is generally considered the greatest *“‘money player’ on the links.

Ruth works upon the minds of his opponents by batting ball after ball into the bleachers during practice before the game. on the last day he was nosed out by Harry Heilmann, the Detroit slugger, who has a habit of topping the circuit every other season, In the spring of this year Simmons was laid out with infected tonsils and rheu- matism in his ankles. He got very little spring practice and at the outset of the season was in the hospital, where he remained for five weeks. It looked as if, Al was a hard-luck player and as if he were in for a bad season, ‘But Al eventually made his mind win over his body. While in the hospital he kept saying to himself: ‘I’ll show the world that a ball player, off to a bad start, can have a great year.’ He kept plugging along when he did get back in the game and did not ]ose heart despite the fact that at one time his batting average fell to .231, a very low figure for him. ‘“‘At this critical juncture Al faced Big Sam Gibson, of Detroit, one of the toughest pitchers i. the league for him to hit. ‘I’m going to hit this fellow this game or die in the attempt,’ Al said, and he did. He soaked a single and a homer off Gibson that day, and that started him on a rampage. In another month his average had jumped to .377 and he became runner-up in the race for the 1928 batting crown,’”’ ‘ 7 * ” +” ENE TUNNEY got the mental jump on Jack Dempsey in Philadelphia, but Jack was not always on the ‘losing end of the psychological sparring. Fight fans will read- ily recall that after the first Tunney victory did more to upset psychologically, aver, than any before the fight. Jack essayed a comeback and was told by Promoter Tex Rickard to go out and beat some one with a reputation. That ‘‘some one” turned out to be Jack Sharkey, who was known out of the ring as a champion talker and in the ring as a near-champion fighter. Before the fight there was nothing to it but Sharkey. Jabbering Jack S, talked his head off. ‘“I’ll knock Dempsey’s head off,” was one of the many ‘“‘modest’’ statements made by the ‘“‘coming champion.”’ Sharkey employed neither the silence of the sphinx nor the strategy of Hannibal. He didn’t need to follow their examples. He was Jack Sharkey, ® Dempsey said nothing, He just trained. But he was thinking all the time. When he climbed through the ropes into the ring Dempsey never looked at Sharkey. When they were called by the referee into the center of the ring for the usual] final instruc- tions, Dempsey kept his eyes on the floor. Never once did he meet Sharkey’s gaze. Sharkey hecame more “cocky” than ever. “why, this guy’s afraid even to look at me,”’ he thought. When they returned to their respective corners Dempsey kept Gus Wilson, his truin- er, standing in front of him, Other handlers were grouped about. The one-time champion completely ignored his talkative challenger. Finally the bell sounded. Dempsey, who had been doing knee-bending exercises in his corner so familiar to fight fans, turned his eyes full on Sharkey. He glowered. He scowled as only Jack Dempsey .2 scowl. From his mind to Sharkey’s mind was trans- mitted the message: “You braggart, you've had your say for days. Now the time to fight has come, and I’m going to do the fighting.

Here was the power of psychology being used to the limit. Hannibal himself couldn't have done better. In that instant Sharkey caught the message and he wilted. It was Dempsey’s fight. In the seventh Jack Sharkey and not Jack Dempsey lay on the ring floor— knocked out, 7” ~ * . N THE tennis court it is Big Bill Tilden who takes advantage of the power of psychology and strikes fear into the heart of his opponent. Tilden, a leader in the tennis world for many, many years, is noted for the speed and accuracy of his service. Few players can return his great ace shot once it lands safely within the proper lines. Go to a Davis Cup match or any important tourney in which he is entered and you will see Tilden out in front of the crowd prior to the game, blazing his service shots across the net. Those shots look like Haley’s comet cut loose. They are just tiny streaks of white. And all for the benefit and intimidation of the opponent, For a student of Hannibal on the gridiro we turn not to a player but to a famous coach, Knute Rockne, czar of the mighty Notre Damé elevens, which, year in and year out, are the most famous in the world. Rockne instituted the system of starting his second team. No one has ever considered that before. This brings about a double psycho- logical effect. ‘“he Notre Dame varsity players are not the only ones affected. If the second team fails, the opponents know ful] well it means little, as the varsity is coming. If the second team holds, the opponents wuender to them- selves: ‘Well, if they’re his good, what can the first team be?”’ Men who application have made success of the of baseball have not been zonfined to those who ap- pear on the playing fieli George Stall- ings, the ‘‘Miracle 1914,”’ used it with telling effect when his team won the pennant fourteen years ago. Baseball fans will never forget that feat. It never been ecualed and perhaps never will. Stallings had mo star aggregation the York Yanks, but a gang of misfits, castoffs. Many of them were scarcely heard of after 1914.

Henry Ford was walking through one of his laboratories one day explaining various experiments to a visitor. Suddenly Mr. Ford stopped and stood watching an engineer who was at work on a@ very delicate problem. For several mtnutes the manufacturer said nothing and then, ad- dressing himself to the engineer, he declared: “You’ll never get the right answer the way you’re tackling that.’ “How would you do it, Mr. Ford?” inquired the engineer, “Not the way you’re trying it,” replied Ford, walking away, As they moved along the visitor was in- quisitive. He hazarded ad’remark: “You didn’t give that man much help.” “On the contrary, I gave him a great deal of help. I switched him off the wrong track. He’s a good man. He’ll find the answer. He asked me what I would do and if I had told him it wouldn’t have helped him. It would have hurt him. It would have made him less dependent upon himself.’’—Forbes Magazine. Put Idle Land to Work. School children, Boy Scouts and others can almost always find some so-called waste land on which to plant trees, says the American Tree Association of Washington.

As highly as the President esteemed the sena- tor’s judgment, he did not fee! he could sign away so much of the taxpayer’s money until he learned the senator’s reason for it, Would the senator drive down t») the White House at his earliest convenience, please? The senator’s secretary was a woman. The possibility of a presidential veto of that par- ticular bill, with Congress about to adjourn, almost made her panicky. Almost. She was a clear-headed woman. Most certainly the senator would be glad to discuss the appropriation with the Presi- dent. Most certainly the senator would visit the President just the moment he could leave the Senate chamber, That afternoon? Most assuredly, A big touring car Ws soon racing away from the Senate Office Building. C-o-n- &-r-e-S-S-i-O-n-a-l1 stood Sut above the license tag suspended in front of it. The woman secretary was at the wheel She was driving alone. Her mission w13 yne she did not even wish the senator’s chanffeur to suspect, Back- stairs gossip is to be avoided, especially when it involves a United States senator. Quickly she left the streets of Washington behind. The car becarme a blur upon the Maryland highways. Quite suddenly the Laurel racetrack loomed 2heaad, The woman made her way through the crowd to the front of the grand stand just as the barrier was sprung for the third race. She paused in front of a box. Her eyes were directed upward at a man peering through field glasses leveled above her head. Down the stretch thundered the field of horses, their jockeys spurts of color through the brilliant sunshine of a beautiful day. The grand stand rocked with the urgings of mu- tuel ticket holders. The raucous clamor of winners drowned the mournful cursing of losers. Down the stretch came two leaders, almost neck and neck. The woman kept-her back turned upon the track. Not for her the thrilling finish. Her eyes never swerved from the man with the glasses. Her eyes were probably the only ones in the great packed inclosure not fixed upon the grueling end. The man to whom she had devoted her undivided attention lowered his glasses slow- ly. His face reflected satisfaction. He was grinning broadly as he was about to reseat himself.. His horse had won. He caught just then the telepathic flash of the woman's eyes. He showed himself a master of self- control as he moved leisurely from the box as though going for a stroll in paddock or betting ring. , Soon he was headed for Washington, his woman secretary bent once more over the wheel. ‘Step on it.’”’ He realized that his words were superfluous. No need for him to command. He entered the Senate chamber at an op- portune moment. A clerk was calling off the _ roll of senators’ names as they responded to a demand for a quorum. He answered to his. He nodded to the fussy sergeant-at-arms. The record was clear. Half an hour later the senator was closeted with the President of the United States. His bill was signed——-saved by a woman’s presence of mind—call it what you will. And he it was who told the story long afterward. Not a whisper about it had come from his wom- an secretary. The late “Tom”? Watson, of Georgia, was rated as an eccentric. When his people sent him to the United States Senate he fished around for a secretary. A young woman presented herself to him one day. She was just out of college, an attractive miss with the soft, pleasing drawl of his native Georgia, “College, eh?’’ Watson snorted. ‘Can you spell? Can you punctuate?’”’ She could. “Then go to work,” commanded Watson. She removed her hat,-coat and gloves. “Wait a minute,” ordered Watson. Her heart sank, “Do you know good celery and good pecans?’”’ he inquired. “I reckon I do,” she responded. from Georgia, sir.’’ “Then I reckon you are hired.” Thus did Miss Sara Orr, now the happily married Mrs. Gladstone Williams, wife of a well-known Washington newspaper corre- spondent, first enter upon her duties as secre- tary to a United States senator. The daughter of one who had been Mayor of Dublin, the Georgia town with an Irish name, she was to achieve the distinction of becoming secretary to not ove but to three United States senators from the same State, and all within a few weeks. Watson was her first senator. She discov- ered early that it was his invariable habit to lunch upon good celery and gyod pecans, and upon little else. It became one of her most important secretarial duties to purchase for him good celery and good pecans. She learned quickly that he -2zarde¢ this as more vital to his peace of mind than the filling of his fountain pen. When in 1922 death snatched Watson away from his celery and pecans, and deprived the Senate chamber of a colorful and stormy character, the Governor of Georgia startled the Senate even more than Senator Warren had done years before, The Governor of Georgia filled Watson’s seat with a woman, Mrs,-Rebecca L. Felton, a kindly, shrewd Southern lady, in her nineties, wag the woman, : When Mrs. Williams went to meet Mrs. Felton upon the latter’s urrival in Washing- ton she thought she should, perhaps, take a wheel chair with her. She found the new senator sitting pertly ina hotel lobby, munch- ing a large red apple. 3 ‘“What-all did ypu do for Senator Wat- son?” inquired the old lady briskly, as she studied Mrs. Williarhs through her specta- ‘Helped him revise unis biography of Andrew Jackson, eh?

Moses, of New Hampshire, who as the direc- tor of an important sector c.f the Eastern bat- tlefront of Herbert Hoover is now living characteristically up to the oia saying, ‘Let George do it,” has had ag his secretary and adviser a women of remarkable energy and capability, Mrs. Martha R., getter’’ whom some Moses’ ‘“‘shadow.”’ Mrs. Gold ‘‘runs’’ the Moses office on Capi- tol Hill; there are unkind enough to even suggest that she “runs” Sen- ator Moses. Certainly it is obvious to who are the senator’s familiurs that he banks a lot upon her judgment and advice and workaday methods, Certainly it is apparent tc those who know her that she gets results. Slashing Government red tape is a tire- some but necessary task in which the woman who becomes secretary to a United States senator must always be proficient. Red tape disappears under Mrs. Gold’s dex- terous fingers. She knows her official onions. She or bureau chief, her lobbyist, her politician. She acts as a buffer between her senator and the professional buttonhole puller. For example. A country school teacher was spending Sunday with his brother in a New England town. They went to church in a flivver. When'the services were over they found the machine missing. That was upon Oetober 21 of a certain year. The date is worth remembering. It forms an integral part of an amazing story of red tape unraveled by Mrs. Gold. On November 8 of the same year the fliv- ver’s owner was notified officially by prohibi- tion agents that the machine had been seized at Plattsburg, N. Y., with fourteen sacks of a popular brand of Canadian ale tucked away in it. The driver, probably a rum-runner, had escaped capture by Volstead sleuths., The country school teacher was delighted. He would have the flivver returned to him by the long arm of Uncle Sam. He would not have to spend the winter months plodding through the snows of his native New Hamp- shire. Weeks elapsed, He continued to plod to and from school. His weekly salary of $22 would not permit the purchase of an- other flivver. On January 26 in the following year offi- cial word was received from a Government source that his car was at Ogdensburg, not Plattsburg, N. Y. But still he didn’t get his car back. He then appealed to Senator Moses. Mrs. Gold got busy. There came to her desk at Washington on May 25 of the same year— seven months after the fliyver was stolen—a communication from the prohibition unit of the Treasury Department that caused her, as she herself expresses it, to “hit the ceiling.” And Mrs. Gold can “hit the ceiling.” The communication seemed to Mrs. Gold quite wérth framing as a shining illustration of official folderol, as a shining revelation of the devious methods of the office-holding jack-in-the-box, The communication read: were “Sidewalks of New confidential Gold is the feminine ‘‘go- refer to as Senator those who are those “The department has had the matter under investigation and it appears that while the petitioner was visiting his brother, the car was stolen from him, and that he was in no way connected with the illegal use of the car. It is further represented that the petitioner bears an excellent reputation, and in view of all the facts in the case the MT TT MM : m understands her departmental: forfeiture is hereby remitted and you are authorized to release the car to the petitioner upon the payment of all expenses incident to seizure.” Fortunately Mrs. Gold “hit the ceiling” so effectively after the receipt by her senator of this amazing document that needless to state the country school teacher got his car back’ without having to dig into his $22 weekly salary for ‘‘tpayment of all expenses incident to seizure.”’ Thousands of such absurdities of “law en- forcement’? crop up continuously to tax the patience and test the persistency of the woman like Mrs. Gold who is secretary to a United States senator, There are regulations governing the case, the bureau chief will argue. We can not go beyond regulations. This is a case clearly in conformity with regulations. What you have us do? The woman secretary listens patiently, But suppose the case does conform to regulations? Do the regulations conform to the law? What does she know about the law? ness to familiarize herself with like Mrs, Gold, steeped in the law, meet the contention of the bureau chief.

Unfortunately, just now there are not enough good landing fields to justify the widespread use of the plane for this service. To be sure, plans are underway to improve the situation, but the expense of building landing fields in the heavily forested regions is almost prohibitive. So it seems doubtful whether for a few years to come Uncle Sam will be able to accomplish much in this direction.

He asked me if I had seen his sporting editor, and I said, ‘Yes, sir, but he seemed to be in poor health, so if you would like me to do so I will write an article about the boxing ex- hibition.’ “‘Thank you for your kind offer,’ the edi- tor replied, ‘and come riget in.’ So I come posed an article,” says Mr. Curley, ‘‘and while I was at it I thought I would denounce Mr, Flynn, Mr. Caponi and myselz for presenting such an unsatisfactory svectacle, and this I did in ringing language.’’ About 5 o’clock in the morning Mr, Cure ley’s telephone rang and the sporting editor’s thick voice asked permissiun to see him. “Perhaps I had better send up the paper first, and after you have read my wibae you can see if you still want me to come up.” “OQ, fiddlesticks,’’ said Mr. Curley, “I have seen the paper; come on up.” Entering the room, the sporting editor said: ‘“My dear Mr. Curley, I did not think [ ever would write anything so unkind about an o-d pal or an old pal’s bum.

How- ever, there must be plenty of lakes for the maneuvering of this kind of aircraft. So the system could not be used extensively by the United States Forest Service. The only one of our great Western national forest States that has lakes in any degree of abundance 1s Minnesota, amd the waterways are chiefly in the northern section. A seaplane landing must, of course, be in marked contrast to a ground landing. Ex- perts differ as to just how long a lake must be before an effective and entirely safe lands ing can be accomplished. Some authorities place the minimum length at 2 miles, whil@, others insist on a longer stretch. In any case, Assistant Forester Headley plans to in- vestigate the Canadian system within the next year or so. Other new transportation and clearing methods have been used lately with consid- erable success. The caterpillar tractor is an outstanding example. As is well Known, the machine can thread its way with amazing facility through regions of roughest topog- raphy and heaviest timber. At the present time the largest caterpillar tractor in the world is being tested in the Angles National Forest in southern California. Already it has helped in important clearing operations, Their cost has been something like $40 @ mile—a tiny figure, indeed, as compared with the money involved in handling the situation entirely by hand—as least four or five times as much in the latter case. But this is a modern age, filled to the brim vith the most modern instruments that a fore ward-looking Yankee science can devise. True enough, in fighting fires, as with sending: mail and passengers through space at an astonishing speed, Uncle Sam is taking to the air. So we may well hope for revolutionary. methods soon in the development of the new air patrol. ator’s office to have a chair. She believes in tiring out the unwelcome ones by just keep- ing them waiting until they become convinced finally that she was telling the truth when she told them the senator wes engaged and could not be seen. There are plenty of comfortaLle, luxurious- ly upholstered overstuifed chairs in Senator Borah’s office. They are seldom empty, They fill partly that wing of the senator’s office which he rarely enters, He enters and leaves by a side door. Miss Rubin permits the occupants of the chairs to remain as long as they please. She never suggests that they leave. Out of a cor- ner of one eye it amuses her to watch them becoming restive as she runs through a mass of papers and letters, the senator’s daily pile of correspondence, and distributes the more important ones among her assistants, Hers is an expert eye and hand, made expert by a number of years spent in sorting the wheat from the chaff, whether the sorting be the sorting of letters or the sorting of visitors. Her ‘‘Thou Shalt Not Pass” is always final —and the senator, always certain to uphold her authority, is grateful to her for saving him from many a troublesome correspondent or camp follower, Miss Rubin answers the phone upon her desk. She seems to be always answering the phone. She emphasizes over the phone fre- quently—so the chair-warmers may hear— “Very, very sorry, indeed, but Senator Borah is engaged in conference; I can’t say just how soon he will be at liberty to see or talk to any one.” A breezy woman from the senator’s State of Idaho is Miss Rubin, a woman with an in- fectious laugh and a keen sense of humor, She received her education in the public schools of Boise and later taught in them for a while, She took a business course and then became associated with Senator Borah first as his stenographer when he was still only a Boise lawyer. It was some 21 years ago when she accompanied him to Washington upon his first election to the Senate. She succeeded Earl Venable as the senator’s secretary when he left Capitol Hill to assume charge of the Washington office of the Republican national congressional committee. She accompanied her senator to Chicago in 1920 when he went there to help foster the presidential boom of Senator Hiram Johnson, and she it was who carried to him the news of the Blackstone Hotel conference which named Warren G. Harding for President. Whether politics be national or international, Miss Rubin mir- rors clearly the Borah viewpoint. “IT have been accustomed so long to devot- ing my thoughts and energies to advancing the senator’s interests,’’ she says, “that I hardly think of myself any more as having an entity. Wein the senator’s office regard him with pride as a fixed institution of which we are a part,”’ Many other interesting examples of the woman who is secretary to a United States senator might be selected at random, if space would permit, and still a number deserving of mention would probably be overlooked. There is only one case on record where a woman failed to make good as a senator’s sec- retary. It was hardly, however, her fault. Her senator was given to speech-making even more extensively than most of his colleagues. One of his weaknesses was the dictation of addresses which were frequently delivered to emptied Senate chamber and gallery. He , J } just liked to hear himself talk. And .upon'! the woman who was his secretary fell the’ brunt of his utterances, There came a night that was hot. The senator had been dictating a speech since they Senate recessed late in the afternoon. Dis- carded was his coat, wilted his collar. He kept on shouting at the four walls of his of- fice. His secretary sighed as she opened a&! fresh notebook, Her hand was cramped, her’ head ached. 7 The phone rang. She answered it. The, senator had incurred the displeasure of a cole league sometime previously, The secretary found the colleague on the other end of the phone, sitting in his office not far distant, “Please tell Senator So-and-So if he must shout upon a hot night like this, for goodness sake to close his windows.’’ Only the colleague used stronger language than ‘‘for goodness sake.” Senator So-and-So was near enough the phone to overhear his colleague’s yoice. His face grew purple with wrath. “Or to close his mouth!” added the ecol- league, The woman secretary rose o tanta to her feet. She burst into tears. She fled from her senator’s office without even pausing for her hat, And she never returned, i Game Clubs Are Planting. — Towns and cities are doing their part in — creating community forests on their idle landall s and on the watersheds of their iste Wise farmers are setting slacker acres ‘om work growing wood crops, says the Americar 4a Tree Association.

OWER Manhattan’s noontime crowds, engaged in watching drug-store window demon- looked up to see what brand of cigarettes the sky writer was adver- tising. In long, graceful swoops he formed the let- ter W, more than a mile high and over half a mile wide. Conditions for his work were perfect; against a cloudless »lue canopy. Then appeared the letter A, followed by two L’s. The flying penman worked swiftly, and after making a space of more than a or most of those not strations, _ mile he wrote the word STREET, and placed , &@ comma after it. This was to be no cigarette ad, evidently. What did Wall street intend to advertise? Swiftly again—at a speed o? over 2 miles a minute, perhaps 3—aao.her word was spelled out in white smoke, and at the end of this an exclamation potit as long as lower there was no wind, and he wrote, Some of the more timid members, espe- clally those who had been in the vicinity of the explosion and had seen the menac- ing rain of shrapnel, favored paying the money, but the majority decided that some- thing must be done to bring down this in- sane highwayman of the sky. New York had not beer so intensely ex- cited since the return of Lindbergh from his flight to Paris. After a hurried consultation of officials i was decided to ask Washington for the services of Capt. James Reading, flying special agent for the Department of Justice. He was reached by telephone and flew to New York, arriving there before midnight. Reading carefully studied the Skywayman’s letter to the president of the Stock Ex- shange and read all available reports of his performance in wii this case. He will have to be hunted on his own ground—or, rather, in the air. It will be somewhat risky, but I see no other practi- cal Wey.” ‘What do you propose to do?” *You must leave that to me, without ques- tion as to my methods, if I am to be in charge of the case.’’ The millionaire broker shrugged and made a helpless gesture with his fat, soft hands. “It is my suggestion,” said Reading, ‘that you issue a statement in time for publica- tion tn the afternoon papers to the effect that you have decided to do as this self-styled skywayman demands. He will probably re- main in New York this afternoon long enough to find out whether a decision has been made, and he will read your statement.” A look of pain, the look of a man o{ whom it has been demanded that he contribute heavily toward a $5,000,000 investment for which he does. not expect to receive a return, crossed Mr. Ruffing’s florid face. “Do you really mean that?” he implored. “Is there no way this money can be saved?” “I think there ts, and Iam going to under- lake to recover it for you—after it has been tt iti MM i ul we’re ready to take off. In the meantime I’ll outline the job to you,” In the hangar the flying detective told Fowler what he had planned. “From everything I can learn,” he said, “this high-flying robber has a fast climber that seems to be an all-purpose ship of the first water. He can sky-write with it and carry: a load of bombs up out of sight—just how far up, we don’t know.” “Well, Jim, he has to have something not on the books to get within thousands of feet of the ceiling of this baby of mine.” “That’s what I figured when I asked for it, after I heard about your new record. We've got to get high enough to keep out of his sight until he gets the money and starts his getaway. Weather Bureau: says it’s going to be cloudy up to 10,000 feet and possibly higher, and that may be in our favor, if he doesn’t climb too high to make sure no planes are spying on him. The chances are he has been hidding somewhere along the lonely coast stretches of southeastern Long Island.” “What’s the idea of taking a chance on letting him have the money at all?” “It’s likely he’ examine the package, and if he finds he has been tricked, he may under- 4s . cued “jiu Fae s s —— _ better to take a chance on losing the $5,000,000 than to risk the blowing up of New York’s financial district.” Only a thin crescent of a moon shone, now and then, through the clouds, and few stars were visible as they took off. They headed across New York and Long Island for Mon- tauk Point, climbing steadily. They were warmly dressed, and in the her- metically-sealed double cockpit did not suffer keenly from the cold, even at 35,000 feet, at which altitude they were over the Atlantic Ocean 20 miles southwest of Montauk. Oxygen was fed into the cockpit, the floor, sides and cover of which had windows. They were now far above the clouds in a vast, deep silence broken only by the sound of the motor, which droned steadily as the propeller thrust the plane through the rare- fied air. Fowler climbed above 40,000 feet. They were determined to take no chance of being seen from below, if the Skywayman mounted to his ceiling to look for spies. It was half-past 9 when the plane began to descend in cautious circles, Reading keeping sharp lookout for any sight of the Skyway- man, As yet he had seen nothing but a roll- A HPF PL gt Rah AR iil je ahem: By JOHN AMES | OMAN HT ET ra i : ALT o’clock when the landing gear of the plane sank into the upper clouds. Still no sign of the Skywayman. Now they felt safer from possible observa- tion below, for in the rare air above they could have been sighted for many thousands of feet. _ The air outside was warmer now; probably not under 20 below zero—in the upper air it must have been at least 80 below—and moisture from the clouds through which they were descending began to appear on the wings, trailing off as raindrops. Jecasionally there was a slight bump as they emerged from one cloud and dove into another. At something less than 10,000 feet the coast line, a few lights, and the dark mass of water which was the Atlantic Ocean began to appear below. Fowler slackened the plane’s descent and came down through the clouds with still greater caution, but there was yet no sight of the Skywayman, With startling suddenness there was & splintering crash of glass in the upper win- dow of the cockpit, letting in the cold, moist air of cloud wrack. Something spattered against the instrument board and smashed the altimeter, which had just registered 5,000 feet. Both fliers, experienced combat men, in- stantly realized that the Skywayman, playing hide-and-seek in the clouds, had outmaneu- vered them and reversed the plan of attack. As Fowler dove sharply and veered to the left, another burst from the Skywayman’s machine gun tore through the right wing. Almost miraculously neither Reading nor Manhattan’s width. The last word was writ- ten under the first rwo. The crowds now read: himself had been hit. Both planes were under the lower cloud- bank when the Skywayman dove steeply on the tail of the naval plane and fired another burst. Two more jagged rents appeared in the wings, but no serious damage had been done. The plane still responded to the con- trols and appeared to be thoroughly air- worthy. The Skywayman having shot downward past the naval plane, Fowler seized his chance, and himself dived in turn. Reading fired, the air. He suggested that arrange- ments be made immediately with the commandants of the air force units around New York for a continuous patrol of the sky if that should prove necessary. The patrol was to be organized and held in read- iness for eventualities; the de- cision as to the time—if at DE SV AD - “*e*™ 2°,’ a“ - ee ee - ——— = oe ee Sy eee a BEWARE! ! \ ' ~~.

The words he had written could still be read clearly, but they were beginning to disintegrate. Suddenly there was a verrific explosion, seemingly less than 1,000 feet above the towers of the financial district. The detona- tion was heard on both rides of the East and Hudson rivers and north of Central Park. Passengers on ships at cea heard it. Crowds watching from City Hall Park and the paved canyons nearby mcmentarily saw a blinding flash and a small cloud of light- yellow smoke. Two thousand feet above this the plane of the sky writer was seen to climb skyward again, Fragments of metal fell irto Broad and Wall streets and upon roofs cf buildings bor- dering these streets. Three pedestrians were injured, none of them seriously. A few-score windows were broken. There was no panic and no very great excitement, such as had haen some years be- fore when the fatal bomb expicsion at Broad and Wall, evidently intended to destroy the house of Morgan, threw the district into wild consternation, Most of those who were in the office buildings, and had not seen -he sky writer and the explosion of the bomb dropped from his plane, thought there had been an unusu- ally heavy blasting somewhere in the neigh- borhood. But later in the day, when afternoon edi- tions of newspapers appeared carrying the sensational story distributed by the Asso- ciated News, there wag iivelier interest, This dispatch described what had hap- pened, and contained the following com- munication, an open letter to the president of the Manhattan Stock Exchange, and sent by special delivery to the office ot the Asso- elated News, arriving there soon after the mysterious warning and explosion: “If the time fuse of my bomb operates properly no serious harm will be done—to- day—by my skywriting and tireworks over Wall street. “But you are not to regari it as a hoax, nor the writer of this letter as a crazy crank ‘who does not realize what he is doing, “TI have taken this mean; of calling myself to your attention, publicly, so that there will be no misunderstanding of my purpose, and yw so that I may not be regarded as an inef- fectual blackmailer, ‘My purpose is to hold up the Manhattan * ‘Stock Exchange for a contribution of $5,000,- 000. I have been trying to raise this amount to produce an invention by which I propose to write letters of fire in the sky at night— an improvement on the present method of -skywriting. “I have been unable to raise this money legitimately in the New York financial di- trict, and so propose to collect it from those who can afford such a contribution as I de- mand. “The money, in gold, must Le placed in a small and lighted open boat 10 miles due east from Montauk Point tomorrow night at 10 o'clock, There it will be collected. “Any attempt to set a irup for me will be observed and will be fruitless.

The mature of the Skywayman’s warning had been too impressive to ignore. He had demon- strated that it would be possible for him to out his threat if a wey were not found all—when it was to begin duty was to be made by Reading. No one seemed to know in what direction the Skyway- man had disappeared; no one had seen from what direction he came, ‘After the explosion of the bomb he had been ob- served to climb steadily in wide circles until he vanished the upper air. sas ur - —* RAS Sr BEETS EE in ~~ Sere In otk —- i Despite the Skyman’s decla- ration that he had no intention of bombing Wall street pending action on his demand, nearly half of the employes—and more than half of the employ- ers—of the financial district remained away from work the following day. Others watched the sky :for his reappearance. He did not show up. There was‘ little trading on the exchange. Business in New York was almost halted. Groups of people’. gathered everywhere to discuss. this threat of a spectacular new crime, in a city which thought it had got used to spectacular robberies. “Can he get away with it?” was the question most quently asked. It seemed to be the general opinion that he could not; the thing was toov wildly prepos- terous; a concerted search for him on the ground and in the air would bag him. But men at the. flying flelds pointed out that it was possible for a des- fre- perate man, especially so skilled a flier and bomber as the Skywayman had proved him- self to be, to slip through a patrol and ‘lay his eggs” before he could be brought down. The morning papers had suggested a gen- eral search by airplanes and ground police, This was answered by the Skywayman him- self in another special delivery letter, evi- dently mailed downtown. to the Associated News and quickly relayed to the papers, It read: “I intend to spend the day in New York, having a little shopping to do before my business here is concluded. It wil] have nat- urally suggested itself that « general search for me should be made. if this is attempted I will blow up Wall str2et before midnight. My plane is hidden within easy flying dis- tance of the city and will not be found in time to prevent the carrying out of my plans, (Signed) “SKYWAYMAN.” Clerks in the shops, after reading this im- pudent threat in the first pages of the noon editions, nervously scrutinized every tanned and wind-wrfnkled customer who looked as if he might be an aviator. At noon Reading conferred with the presi- dent of the stock exchange, in a luxuriously appointed office which Mr. Ruffing plainly feared might be debris before long, “‘What do you advise, Capt. Reading?” he asked. “I am inelined to take the man’s word for his intentions, and as an aviator experienced in bombing, I am obliged to tell you that it is possible for him to do what he threatens,” replied the flying detective. : “Have we no alternative but to pay this monstrous blackmailer, and let him set a precedent which others may—and probably will—attempt to follow?” | “As he himself indicates, there is not suf- ficient time nor opportunity for a general search. We don’t know who he is. been unable as yet to find any trace of his identity through any of the flying flelds.

The clock on the lighted instrumert board showed that it was within a few minutes of 10 iii ini ili We hear a great deal about the farmer during a political campaign, but we seldom hear anything about his woodlot at any time. According to the American Tree Asso- ciation, a farm with a neglected woodlot is not under the best management. That these plots are important is seen when we realize that of the 40,000,000 acres of hardwood forests in the central region of the United States, 30,000,000 acres are in farm wood- lots. The total area of woodlots in the United States exceeds that of the nat:onal forests, ke banker thinks well of the woodlot, it seems, because E. H. ['homson, president Federal Land Bank at Springfield, Mass., states: ‘Our experience has shown there are many farm loans that could not be made if it wer? not for the woudlct on the farm being an important »vart of .the security. While the bank encourages reforestation and the use of idle lands, we especially stress the care and improvement of stands of wood and lumber now found on the farm.’ No farm is being used to the best advan- tage if from 5 to 30 per cent of the area is ‘neglected. Especially is this true when the time spent on this neglected area would be during the periods of slack work in winter, according to a bulletin from the agricultural experiment station of the Univeysity of Min- nesota, Often the land in woodlots is such - that it can be neither farmed hor sold. Clear- ing of these lands is too costly except when the soils have a high agricultural value. Taxes must be paid on (hem, and economy requires that they return a revenue, if pos- sible. Intensive handling of the woodlot will aid materially in making the idle lands on the more productive without § sacrificing time that should be spent on the more val- uable agricultural lands, For this reason it would be to the farmer’s advantage if farm management plans >f the future in- cluded provisions for the hendling of fa a woodlots on:a sustained yieid basis/ . Shortage of~hardwoods and the increas- ing price of Jumber and wood products are now bringing the hardwood forests into the prominence they deserve, the bulletin points ‘ out, Originally, the hardwood forests gen- f erally grew on the better soils and have, therefore, been very largely cleared for agri- cultural crops, The only laige tracts of hard- wood forests which will not eventually be so converted are in the mountains or hills where the land is too steep for farming, Such areas are far too small to supply all the raw material needed by the hardwood industry. The only other source of hardwood tim- ber in this counttry is the 1arm woodlots, In the future these woodlots wil! undoubtedly produce a large part of the hardwoods used in the United States and for this reason will play a very important role in the life of in- dustries that depend upon hardwoods for their raw material. ” . * - Civilization igs dependent upon soil, The paths through which that civilization has passed have been determined by man’s treat- ment of the soil. As Trader Horn says, “There is no greater desolation than where the white man has passed.’’ That soils have a tremendous bearing on forest life is well known. The American Tree Association points out just how great a bearing is not definitely known. To carry on investigations in this great subject Prof, Lars G. Romell, of Sweden, has taken the Charles Lathrop Pack research professorship in forest soils at Cornell. On the importance of scils to the human race, Prof, Jacob G. Lipman, of the New Jersey Agricultural College at New Bruns- wick says: “It is the student’s task to inquire into the relations of climates, soils, plants, ani- mals and man. This may seem like a large undertaking, Indeed, most soi] investigators find it expedient to deal with soils as such, and usually with only a single group of soil problems, For all that, soil science must build a foundation large enough and strong enough to support the study of plant food resources and their mobilization, of the in- terrelations of soil and plants and of soil characteristics and, peculiarities as reflected in the make-up of plants, animals and man. “Human agencies may and do disturb the ~~ WOODLOTS IMPORTANT 10 FARMS] and saw that his first burst had shattered part of the empennage and sent the Skyway- man spinning downward out of control. They followed him down and saw him plunge with a crash into shallow water less than a mile southwest of Montauk and hardly more than 100 feet off shore. The Skywayman, saved from death by the water which had broken his fall, was strug- gling ashore when Fowler beached his plane. Reading and his pilot were waiting for him when, half-drowned and with a broken right arm hanging limply by his side, he fell faint- ing in muddy water a few feet from the shore, “You guys—sure—spolled a good—show,” he muttered as he passed out. The Skywayman had not had time to reach the small boat with its $5,000,000 cargo, and great was the joy of Mr. Ruffing and his asso- ciates when this became known to them. New York forgot the story a few days later when George Sloan, a rum-running aviator flying a trifle off balance because he had been sampling his own cargo, crashed into the Statue of Liberty and bumped off one of his wings. Happily he was not badly hurt afid was fished from the bay. Not long afterward Sloan, chastened azd a model prisoner at Leavenworth, met Gene Taylor, another model prisoner, who, as the Skywayman, had writ his fame large, but evanescently, on the changing skies above New York. “Well, you sure wrote your own ticket, anyway,’ was the consoling observation of Sloan.

The cutting down of forests, the plowing of prairies, drainage and irrigation, the stirring of the surface soil with tillage implements and the removal of plant and animal products from the land will tell their story in no uncertain terms, “Disastrous effects of erosion are com- monplace knowledge to all students of soils. Their dramatic significance expressed in the more or less permanent destruction of vast stretches of agricultural and forest land is not so well known to the iayman.

Paris, (A.P.).—To get an idea of what some French milliners are suggesting for fall hats take a look at the bonnet of a 1-year-old baby. The felt bonnet shape, built from a circle flat on the back ot the head and extending well forward over the ears and forehead, is a serious contender for autumn favor. American buyers say the French milliners have failed to take into account that Ameri- can women are letting their hair grow, or have actually grown it again. The milliners reply that for America there are other hats. There is, for instance, the modified double decker with a wide brim. The hat is cut at the base of the crown and the brim lifted up off the face to give a line reminis- cent of pre-war days before women pulled their hats down around their ears. There is also the felt beret, the draped beret and the felt or velour hat with,pleated or shaped brim. There has been evolved a new velvet tur- ban covered with intricately worked petals, fringe, leaves and imitation feathers. Some of these hats resemble cockatoos’ heads. Others look like gigantic flowers with a ot 3 Be dakts. 4 mn —————— » > 2b, tee See > Paris (A.P.).— Square cretonne sunshades are more chic than round ones at Deauville.

Dear Jimmy: At this time of the year you can hardly give too much attention to the vegetable garden, not oniy in the matter of caring for the above-ground parts of the Various crops, but also in seeing to it that their root systems and all that pertains thereto are kept in the best possible condi- tion. Usually August weather is a bit hard on plant growth, even though it may pro- | mote rapid ripening of corn, tomatoes, pep- pers and melons, The most successful gar- dener is he who combats the difticulties of the season with regular, intelligent labor day * by day. Frequent cultivation of the surface soil, Jimmy, ought never to be neglected in the August vegetable garden—nor in the flower plantings, for that matter. A thorough going over of the ground after every rain or arti- ficial watering will keep the weeds down, pre- vent caking of the surface with.its resultant hampering‘of root activity, and help to con- serve the soil moisture around the roots, Such stirring should loosen the soil to a depth of two or three inches and leave it finely pul- verized. In such condition the layer of fine particles will serve as a sort of protecting blanket,through which there will be little moisture waste by evaporation. Of course, it needs to be reestablished after every rain. In the event of the season having produced a very heavy leaf growth on the tomatoes, the ripening of the fruit will be hastened by thin- ning out the foliage enough to give the sun ! a fair chance. ‘This is a situation which not infrequently develops, especially in the case of plants which have been allowed to grow with little if any pruning. Yours always, GARDNER. Reforesting in Parks. Reforestation of tracts in Denver’s munici- pal park system has been undertaken by 1,000 boys and girls, the American Tree As- sociation says. Activities under the direction of the forestry committee of the chamber of commerce include the planting of pine trees in the park of the Red Rocks, near Morrison, by 250 De Molay boys and a planting on In- spiration Point by Campfire Girls, assisted by Boy Scouts. The boys of the State industrial school near Golden set out trees on their campus. Manual training high school boys set out groups of trees in Dix Park. ; Lead in Tree Planting. Nine of the 34 States cooperating with the Federal Government in the distribution of forest planting stock under the reforesting provisions of the Clarke-McNary law dis- tributed 90 per cent of the total. For the year 1927 the total distribution was 56,020,- 929 trees. Leaders in reforestation are Penn- sylvania and New York, which distributed 65 per cent of the total number of trees distrib- uted by the cooperating States—New York’s total being 23,392,000 and Pennsylvania’s 14,490,000. The third largest distribution was made by Massachusetts with 3,515,637; the fourth by Ohio with 2,572,000; the fifth by Vermont with 2,088,000; the sixth by New Hampshire with 1,664,694; the seventh by Wisconsin with 1,604,900; the eighth by Connecticut with 1,348,000, and the ninth by New Jersey with 1,152,300, 4 Planting in Memory. The memorial tree idea that has been taken up throughout the country under the leadership of the American Tree Association lends itself admirably to the Road of Re- membrance plan. This should be kept in mind by every tree planter, for if the tree isa memorial tree or the road is a road of remembrance the planting must be of such ~ character that those for whom the trees arg © planted would be proud of the new eautl given to the world. j Trees Gone: Towns Gone.

OBJECTIVE OF IDEAL HOME SHOW oTATED Exposition in October Con- structive Civic Event, Secretary Says. IS EDUCATIONAL IN PLANS Outlining the objectives of the Ideal Home Exposition to be held at the Washington Auditorium October 29 to November 3 under the auspices of the Washington Real Estate Board, John A. Petty, executive secretary of the board, yesterday announced plans that for months have been in process of formulation. “The Ideal Home Exposition, to be held during the week of October 29 under the auspices of the Washington Real Estate Board, has distinct merit as a constructive civic event,” the state- ment prepared by Mr. Petty reads. “Covering as it does the subject of home ownership, it has a definite value to the community. Home ownership is admittedly desirable to the indi- vidual family, city, State and Nation. Such an important subject deserves serious consideration on the part of every citizen. Purpose of Exposition. “Realizing both the advantages and responsibilities of home ownership, the Washington Real Estate Board has un- 'dertaken to provide for the public an exposition designed, arranged and op- erated on a high plane of educational endeavor. Through the cooperation of various groups, public utilities, manu- facturers, dealers, realtors, bankers and other financial institutions, a complete and comprehensive exposition has been planned. The fundamental purpose of the exposition is to demonstrate in an interesting and practical manner all phases of. home ownership. It will em- brace construction and equipment of an ideal home, outline the ideal man- ner in which a home can be purchased and financed, and illustrate and analyze the various problems which confront the home owner. “Throughout the week of the exposi- tion the public will be invited to seek advice and information on all problems concerning home ownership. This service, which will be an outstanding feature of the exposition, will be ren- dered in an unbiased and impartial manner by the various organizations represented in the exposition and prominent bankers, realtors, builders and others thoroughly qualified to dis- cuss the various technical and prac- tical problems entering into the con- struction, equipment and ownership of a home. “The exposition will be built around the theme of an ideal home. Both ideal materials and ideal workmanship will ‘be demonstrated in the sections dealing with construction. Only ma- terials and products of the very high- est grade and only the most modern inethods of construction will be dem- onstrated. Here the prospective home- builder can receive at first hand com- plete information pertaining to the best grade of materials for any type home and will learn of the most recent developments in scientific construction from the standpoint of durability, style, sanitation, heating, lighting, ventila- tion, &c. Beginning with the construc- tion of the foundation, the visitor will be carried through the whole process and will visualize the completed home as it evolves from the foundation to the roof. Complete Electrical Features, “In designing the section of the ex- position devoted to equipment, arrange- ments have been made to have a com- plete electrical and radio feature, which will be installed under the supervision and with the cooperation of the Electric League of Washington. The average layman little realizes the large extent to which electricity has been introduced in an ideal home. A large portion of the equipment features of the expo- sition will be represented in the vari- ous exhibits .of the Electric League. Every modern equipment operated by electricity and used in the home for entertainment, comfort, labor saving, health and economy will be displayed. This particular section will contain ex- hibits covering a wide field showing the various uses of electricity in the equipment and operation of a home, including electrical construction fea- | tures. | “There will be two main sections of the exposition, the first containing the physical exhibits of construction and equipment and the other containing the intangible phases of home owner- ship. The latter section, which will be arranged on a separate floor, will contain a major exhibit designed and constructed by the Real Estate Board, which will tell the story of the ideal home. Its central figure will be a small model home with scientific landscap- ing treatment. Around this home miniature exhibits of all materials, products, equipment and service enter- ing into an ideal home will be arranged in logical order, Will Be Like Museum. “Each of these exhibits will typify a stage in the construction and equip- ment of a home and the complete set- up will be somewhat in the nature of a museum in which the home is ana- lyzed in detail from the foundation to the roof. In each portion of this fea- ture thoroughly trained foremen me- chanics will be stationed to informally discuss with the public the character of the various materials exhibited and indicate their uses ir practical work. All of the materials and equipment assembled therein will represent types rather than the products of individual manufacturers. National organizations of various manufacturing groups will cooperate in perfecting the complete- ness and continuity of the arrange- ment. This sample layout will serve as an introduction to the more detailed and operating exhibits in the physical section of the exposition. “Outside of the inclogure containing the ideal home feature exhibit will be specially constructed booths in which realtors, bankers, insurance companies, building and loan associations and other financial institutions will coop- erate in the completion of the ideal plan of constructive educational dem- onstration of home ownership. Many of these booths will be designed in a unique manner to visualize the in- tangible principles of home ownership. Other booths will be designed to pic- ture entire home communities. Will Tell About Titles. “It will be in this section of the exposition that the public will have the, opportunity of securing authentic information and advice from thorough- ly reliable groups and individuals. The Real Estate Board will be in charge of the dissemination of information per- taining to real estate practices and ex- plaining the various steps required in the purchase or sale of a home.

Mortgage loan representatives of life insurance companies will be pre- pared to explain and analyze the va- rious mortgage loan plans which have been developed in recent years. “One of the lecst understood yet one of the most important phases of home ownership is that pertaining to titles. This subject, highly technical in character, is usually not clear to the average layman. Representatives of the title guaranty companies will, through their exhibits and personal services, undertake to explain the significance of titles in connection with the pur- chase of a home. Representatives of the local trust companies\ will handle the problems involved in the making of wills and in the administration of es- tates, particularly as such applies to the distribution and maintenance of real estate. “Building and loan associations, sav- ngs banks and other financial institu- tions will cooperate in_impr g the importance of savings as the f step to home ownership. Members of the Real Estate Board, through their in- dividual participation, will cover gen- eral -subjects rtaining to the city proper, locations, value: and the ad- vantages of home ownership. ‘ : ugb, the cooperation of “this combination of interests, coupled with the facilities offered by the Electric League of Washington and various other organizations allied with the building industry, an opportunity for @ genuine civic service is presented to the citizens of Washington.” - Baltimore Realtors To Study Tax Penalties A study of the tax penalties imposed by the City of Baltimore on delinquent tax payers is being made by the Balti- more Real Estate Board through its committee on taxation and research. The board is making the study in order to ascertain whether or not the tax penalties now imposed are heavier than is necessary in order to collect a reason- able portion of the taxes assessed. The board holds that under the pres- ent system penalties amounting to a rate of over 20 per cent on the amount of the bill fall on persons who either through ignorance or through neglect do not realize that it is cheaper to borrow money at 6 or even 12 per cent rather than delay payment. Following the study the board expects to make a recommendation to the mayor and city council as to a new schedule of penalties and interest rates. “LUMBER DEFINED BY COMMIoal0N Term Must Not Be Used to Describe Materials Not Cut From Trees.

Building activities have been speeded up so that the new bowl- ing center will be available for fans in the early fall. With 58 alleys on its two floors, the new building, taken in connection with the Davis Kingpin alleys and Kingpin No, 2, in the downtown section, places the Meyer Davis bowling chain as the largest in the city. There are 40 al- leys at the Kingpin and 18 at Kingpin No, 2, which, taken together with th new alleys, totals 116 alleys. The new bowling plant is of reen- forced concrete construction; and it is estimated will cost, complete with equipment, around $400,000. Particular attention has been paid to ventilation and lighting, as the chief essentials to the comfort of the bowling fan. Elab- orately equipped rest rooms for women and men are located on each floor of the building. Construction is in charge of the Fidelity Storage Co.

S. Architects. WOULD AVOID MONOTONY Union of effort in the arts of design, brought about by collaboration among architects, sculptors, mural painters, landscape architects and craftsmen, is proposed by the American Institute of Architects as a means of improving the Nation’s architecture. The movement is being directed by the institute’s committee on allied arts, headed by J. Monroe Hewlett, of New York. This committee, it is an- nounced, has drawn up working prin- ciples for collaboration which will be submitted to the national organiza- tions allied with architecture. “The world in which we live is essen- tlally a collaborative creation,” declares & progress report of the committee made public by President Hammond. “We who are living in it find ourselves surrounded by conditions which have come about as the result of the adjust- ment of forces, some of them creative, some of them destructive, some of them making for order and durability and beauty and some of them tending to confusion, instability and ugliness. Collaboration Is Continuous, “No lasting element in our environ- ment is the result of purely individual effort. Collaboration has been a con- tinuous creative influence in every great human undertaking. “Every architect realizes his depend- ence upon the results of collaborative effort in all those phases of his work that are classed as structural and in all those matters in regard to which the specialist must be called in, but in the matter of esthetics, he has become more and more an individualist, less and less appreciative of the adjust- ments between master minds that have made possible the great achievements of the past. “The statement of principles repre- sents the consensus of opinion of the institute’s committee on allied arts and representatives of a committee of the National Society of Landscape Architects. “We called into the discussion dis- tinguished practitioners of architec- ture, painting and sculpture, and gained from them a broadened vision of the significance of the word archi- tecture and the qualities that may be implied in the word architect. Ketter Understanding Wanted. “If we succeed in bringing about a better understanding of the kind of dependence that should be created and maintained between the architect and all the agencies that may enhance the quality, significance and beauty of his finished work, we shall be laying the foundation of an architectural expres- sion which as the years go by shall typify more vitally its locality and time. “Intelligent collaboration in the arts of design seems to be definitely ac- cepted today as one of the great edu- cational requisites in the training of architects and other designers, and the responsibility resting upon the Ameri- can Institute of Architects to foster in every way possible the development of this idea in education and practice is | obviously a continuing responsibility, rather than one which calls merely for occasional sporadic effort. “There still persists in the minds of many people a curious misapprehen- sion as to the significance of the word ‘collaboration,’ a feeling that it is something new which its advocates are seeking to inject into the practice of architecture, that it is something that applies only to undertakings’ of such elaborate and expensive character as to come outside the range of practice of the average architect. Nothing coulq be further from the truth. Representative Logical Leader. “Leadership is necessary in artistic collaboration as it is in team work of any other kind. As a general rule such leadership arises naturally from the nature of the problem at hand and from the character, ability and_per- sonality of the collaborators. If” may be assumed, however, that where the elements of the problem are predomi- nantly in the field of one art, the rep- resentative of that art should be the logical leader.” The institute plans the establish- ment of an interprofessional service, unique in artistic effort in this coun- try, to carry out a definite scheme of collaboration. First, however, the in- stitute will frame a program “to bring about in the hearts an@ minds of those concerned a general understanding, a common acknowledgment of collabora- tion as a necessity, and a strong desire for working cooperations.” The report of the committee on anshuny NY «Inc, Main 5904 , RESIDENCE SOLD FOR $60,000 Residence at 1615 Holly street northwest, in Rock Creek Hills, just purchased by Edward F.

Fashion trends as well as population trends are creating new values in metropolitan real estate, and the in- vestor who does not take this factor into consideration is risking heavy loss, in the opinion of W. Burke Harmon, president of the Harmon National Real Estate Corporation. This is in line with present develop- ments in nearly every other line of business, he declared yesterday, holding that formerly the word “fashion” was applied only to women’s clothing, but today fashion is concerned with every~- thing “from the color of kitchen furni- ture to a street address.” “Business districts are not to the influence of style trends,” his statement read. “Whole business neigh- borhoods have become abandoned to a new order of tenants. Individual business’ buildings and apartments suffer from kindred influences, becom- ing obsolescent not because of age but of changes in the tide of demand.” Architects Approve Three Building Plans Brandon Village On Market Today $100 to Be Presented to the Winner of Naming Con- test on Property. “Brandon Village” is the name se- lected for the new subdivision develop- ment in Arlington County which was placed on the market today by Ruby Lee Minar, Inc.

APPROVED BY OFFICIALS Sale of nine of the fourteen houses comprising the model English village erected by Boss & Phelps between Forty- fourth street and Foxhall road south of Q, at prices aggregating $129500, was reported yesterday by the firm.- Valua- tion of the entire project was estimated at $204,000. The quaint English homes comprising the group were erected so as to form & huge crescent, after the manner of the Village of Bath, England, which served as a model. The crescent of homes faces a Government reservation, which is also true of the group in Bath, England. Plans for the homes were not only approved by District building officials, according to the firm, but received the especial commendation of Capt H. C. Whitehurst, Assistant Engineer Come- missioner. The sige of the structures vary range ing from three bedrooms and bath to five bedrooms and two baths, with an acditional lavatory in one of the bed- rooms. The price range extends from $12,750 to $17,750. There are double floors in each of the homes, with a subflooring of pine and a finish flooring of clear white oak, ttimmed in white pine, with the excep- tion of the sand-finished houses, which have oak-finished woodwork All of the dvors are of birch, with the exception of the front doors, which are of oak. All of the bedroom papering was imported from England. Carrying out the old English effect, special attention was given to the land- scaping, and individual treatinent ace corded each home. Structural emphasis was placed on the steel framing In each home there is a built-in heated garage. Another feature is the early American treatment of the fireplaces, each unique in design.

U, 0. ARCHITECTURE WILL BE SIMPLIFIED Plain, Strong Lines in Steel Framework Are Now Be- ing Followed. COLOR IS MUCH USED LZ Development of a distinctively Amert- can style of architecture emphasizing the qualities of fitness and simplicity is now in process and will soon sup- Plant the long used imitative types, according to Ely Jacques Kahn, of Buchman & Kahn, designers of a num- ber of New York's most striking build- ings. The trend is strongly evidenced in the metropolitan centers by the scores of structures with plain, strong lines glorifying the steel framework, and by simplified decoration through the free use of color in such material as terra cotta, Kahn says. Cumbersome orna- mental detail, superimposed on a the construction itself, is made un- necessary by the new color treatment, he contends. The “new era” was beginning as early as 1890, with the work of a few great American architects, Kahn states. But they had no opportunity to show their art on one huge building after another, as do their successors today. The pres- ent great volume of construction has given tremendous impetus to the move- ment which was under way 40 years ago. Meets. American Needs. The building of the new type, de- veloped to meet American conditions, is contrasted to the structure deliber- ately made to fit into some particular style of another nation, centuries ago. The architect of the new school vir- tually “starts cold” on each design, says Kahn. “He faces it as a problem, worked out in a logical way. He does not say, ‘I am going to design a copy of the. Palace of Versailles, twenty stories tall,’ or ‘This building will fol- low the classic Greek style.’ “He first considers all phases of the problem facing him: The purpose of the structure; the legal restrictions, if any, including zoning laws in the metropolitan cities; the atmospheric conditions, and any other factors which might affect the building in any way. to be Building Made Attractive. “Then he works out his design in the manner that will best solve each phase of the problem. Naturally he makes the building as attractive as possible. He is able to achieve real beauty, because there is nothing strained or purposeless about it. “Buildings of this sort can not be said to ‘follow’ any particular style of the past. They are developing their own style, which is truly native American. “It varies according to locality. There is no need for the architect in the small town to copy the setback style which has been developed to meet the metropolitan zoning laws. But he can design his building to meet its own peculiar conditions, irrespective of precedents set in antiquity and copied | more or less blindly down to the pres- ent time.” County Realty to Be Revalued. Diego County, Calif., will be undertaken according to an agreement which has been made by the City of San Diego and the county. The San Diego Realty Board took the initiative in asking that the real valuation be made, and the chairman of its tax committee has been named a member of the joint city and county committee which will devise means for making the inventory.

Real estate market activity for July was measured by an index figure of 157, according to the compilation made monthly by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The compilation is made from official figures of trans- fers and conveyances recorded in 41 typical cities. The index is ten points lower than the index. for July of 1927. It is two points lower than the index for June of the present year. The association's compilation uses for its base the aver- age number of transfers and convyey- ances recorded in the 41 cities during the corresponding month of the years 1916-23, Since it does not include, in this base the years 1924-27, it is point- ed out that in interpreting the index the figure found fof any month is com- parable with that of-the corresponding month of the previous year, but is in- comparable with that of the month di- rectly preceding it.

The building of a new main highway is not merely an engineering protiem, on the contrary it is primarily a social and economic problem, a problem of killing or making the region, the report holds. “A region rendered uninhabitable ex- cept by filling stations, hot dog stands and billboards is blighted, not helped Let a town, particularly what we call a good summer town, protect every resi- dence by a good zoning plan and keep its roadsides free from everything but their natural beauty, and the whole country will know that town.

MEXICANS SEEKING PEACE IN RELIGION Confusion Following Assas- Sination Spurs Efforts Toward Settlement. Ey manny ‘STILL HAS HOPE Mexico City, Aug. (A.P.).—Efforts to settle the long and bitter quarrel between the Mexican government and the Catholic Church have been spur- red to greater intensity by the rancor and confusion following the assassina- tion of President-elect Obregon. Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow, whose unofficial good offices have been available to each side, has not abandoned hope of relieving the situa- tion. For two years no Catholic priest has performed his offices in any church in Mexico. When the religious laws became effective two years ago, the Mexican hierarchy, to protest the laws, ordered priests from their churches Since then there have been lay ser- vices In the churches and people have entered and prayed at will, but the priestly rites of Catholicism in Mexico have been clandestine. 25 Years Have Been Stormy.

They have a school all to themselves in Paris, and industrial magnates dispute the privilege of en- gaging the serious young women who have its diploma. The Electro-Mechanical Institute for Women is installed in the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. To follow its course women must have an A. B. degree in mathematics or must pass the examinations of a preparatory section. These courses’are specially de- signed to create an elite corps of women engineers, trained in all commercial phases ‘of industry as well as the more technical sides.

Paris, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—The first in- ternational congress on airplane sanl- tation and airplane rescue will be held in Paris in May, 1929. Marshal Lyautey, who organized a service of *‘Red Cross airplane ambulances” on the Syrian and Moroccan war fronts, will preside over the sessions. The French gov- ernment sent invitations to “all na- tions possessing an air fleet and inter- ested in the problems of airplane res- cue work.” France has made a long and thorough study of the use of airplanes in bringing aid to sick or injured per- sons. The congress will be under the patronage of several French ministries as well as army and health officials. French campaigns in Syria and Morocco have permitted the develop- ment of an experiment begun in France as far back as 1910. During these ac- tions French airplane ambulances transported more than 4,000 sick or wounded soldiers and saved many lives. to of the Ladies’ Auxiliaries to be held in Havana, Cuba, October 7 to 12: Dele- gates, Anna Dolan, Susie Christian and Mary Lipscombe; alternates, Catherine Huhn, Katie Le Laurin and Harriet League, President Elizabeth Norris announced that a card pafty will be held Sep- tember 18 at the Chestnut Farms Dajry Audftorium, and all the members are requested to attend.

As we go to press the international master tournament at Bad Kissingen, Germany, has reached its final round. The standing at the conclusion of the semifinal round finds Bogoljubow en- joying the enviable position of being certain of at least a draw for premier honors. Capablanca, trailing by a full game, must win his encounter with Reti in the eleventh round in order to retain tying chances. Should Bogolju- bow draw with Euwe, however, the Rus- Sian will remain in undisputed posses- sion of first place. The tournament leader has the white pieces in his final game, while his nearest competitor must rest content with the black side. The Spielmann vs. Tartakower partie, which remained adjourned from round 2 last Sunday, remained in a draw. In round 3, Bogoljubow and Nim- zowitsch drew a queen’s pawn game after 45 moves. Capablanca also had to rest content with a draw against Rubinstein. It is of interest to note in passing that Rubinstein is the only world master of note from whom the former world champion chess player has never won in personal encounter. Dr. Euwe was forced to bow in a game with Tartakower with the latter de- fending with a Dutch defense. Mar- Shall essayed an Alekhine’s defense came out victorious. Dr. Tarrasch Vs. Mieses and Yates vs, Reti both resulted in drawn battles. In round 4, Bogoljubow§ gained half a point on Capablanca by defeat- ing Reti, while the Cuban was drawing with Dr. Tarrasch., the United States champion, Nimzowitsch defeated Mieses, ner using a French defense. Rubinstein vs. Spielmann and Dr. takower vs. Yates draws Capablanca, Marshall. The Tar- parties ended in Dr. Euwe and Bogolju- bow were all three tied for first at the end of round 5 as a result the two former mentioned galning re- spective victories over Mieses instein while Bogoljubow was drawing with Dr. Tartakower. long battle with Yates Dr. Tarrasch Nimzowitsch example.

The big up: curred when Spielmann defeated Capa- blanca handsomely and. placed Cuban a full game behind the Russian. The score of the game appears else- where. The remaining three patrings of Mieses vs. Reti, Tartakower vs. Nimzo- and Rubinstein vs. Yates came a close with honors even, Bogoljubow increased his lead in round 7 by winning from Rubinstein while Capablanca and Euwe were draw- ing their personal encouter Marshall bettered his score by defeating Nimo Reti ored a 64-movi over Tartakower.

In round 10, the semifinals, Bog jubow again increased his lead to a full game by vanquishing Spielmann Capablan:a could do no better than draw with Nimzowitsch, and but rowly escaped defeat.

. ~ y * r) 7 | Le 4 : a i hy Sane 8 a ee Crops in’ Anatolia Have ‘Failed for Third Suc- cessive Year. NEED FOR RAIN IS DIRE Constantinople, .Aug. 25 (AP.).— Famine threatens more than 200,000 Anatolian peasants whose crops for the third successive year have been ruined by drought. The Turkish government has been aroused to take vigorous relief measures by the cry of starvation ,from a large region of Anatolia where the, people have found their prayers to Allah un- availing. ' Information concerning the famine has not been easy to obtain because Turkish officials regard it as a task for the Angora government alone. The dis- tricts most affected are the six prov- inces stretching over the arid Anatolian plateau from Angora to Konia, where the yearly average rainfall is only 5% inches. Kemalists Are Active. The Kemalists, who have saved Ana- tolia from the sultan’s despotism and foreign invasion, are now jumping into action to rescue it from famine and utter depopulation. Late in the day, but at last they have determined to inaugurate a far-reaching “water policy,” a policy as important as their remarkable railroad construction cam- paign. The Anatolia Plateau is to be irri- gated, The Kizil Irmak and other rivers of the region and the huge volcanic lake of Obrouk are to be utilized after eenturies of neglect by the ignorant and fatalistic peasantry and the do- nothing sultans. “One day,” exults the Turkish offi- cial press, “those who go from Angora to Konia will traverse not the desert of the Ottoman empire, but the green, rich, cultivated, wooded garden of the Turkish republic.” Germans Aid Irrigation. Two German agricultural experts are elaborating the program for the vast system of irrigation necessary to pro- duce the dreamt-of “garden” and are recommending also other drastic measures. These include wholesale transportation of populations from such sterile regions as Van and Trebi- zond to the more fertile valleys of the southwest and a vigorous campaign of education for the peasantry to teach them the necegsity of the rotation of crops (the majority of them only plant wheat and oats, year in and year out), and methods of fertilization and irri- gation. Thus the young republic builds for the future. The Ghaza has delegated one of his most active righthand men, the minister of the interior, Chukri Kaya Bey, to save the situation. The minister, after visiting the six prov- inces concerned from border to border, has made his report on the tragic con- ditions in no mincing terms, and the cabinet has voted immediately in favor of the mesaure he proposed. Return to Herding. The minister’s alarming picture of farms and villages utterly deserted on the Konia ‘plain, and of thousands of peasants abandoning agriculture to fall back on the more primitive, nomadic life of herding, has shaken the Kem- alists out of their high dreams of prog- ress and civilization created and sup- posedly made permanent by their regime. That they have taken such definite and direct methods of relieving the present crisis is good proof, however, that they can do more than dream when confronted by actualities. The railroad companies are to ship 2,700 trainloads of grain and fodder into the disaster zone within the next three months at reduced tariffs so that prices will be ten times less than at present. In order that the penniless peasantry may buy, the ministry of public works has allotted $500,000 for their employ- ment on irrigation, road and railroad building, and the government salt mines. Will Employ 100,000 Men. Por irrigation alone 100,000 men wf be employed immediately for 100 d&ys, and for the road building women and children will be given work as well as men. The Turkish Red Crescent So- ciety, the equivalent of the Red Cross, is distributing another $500,000 among those unable to work. To save next year’s crops from this year’s disaster, other measures besides irrigation are being taken, such as the distribution of $9,000,000 worth of seed through ad- vances made by the Turkish Bank of Agriculture. The cattle from the burned, fodder- less zone are being shipped temporarily to neighboring fertile provinces, to be cared for gratis by soldiers and gen- darmes and then to be shipped back to their owners when the crisis has passed, Two hundred and thirteen thousand sheep and 138,000 oxen have been al- ready thus transferred. Chinese City Suffers From Too Much Money Foqchow, China, Aug. 25 (A.P.).— Foochow is having financial troubles. There’sno shortage of money. On the contary, there’s too much, and of what there is it’s the wrong kind. Hence the ' currency is to be changed, and even the prospect of such an action is caus- ing havoc with the banks and money changers. Months ago a “financial” strike re- sulted in the banks being closed for days. The money changers instead of the banks virtually control the provin- celal currency. The money changers have issued their own paper currency, each dollar being worth a thousand Reunion Held at Deserted Town. Towanda, Pa., Aug. 25 (A.P.).—A new sort of reunion.

Monrovia, Liberia, Aug. 25 (A.P.).— The new government hospital recently opened here with impressive’ cere- monies by President Kinz and Bishop Gardiner in the presence of high offi- cials of the Liberian government, the foreign diplomatic and consular corps and representatives from all parts o: the republic, is one of the finest and most enduring works of the president during his ten years of administration. The medical staff consists of three puysicians, trained and educated in Europe, two of whom are white and one a negro, and an efficient nursing staff headed by one who received her training in New York and Washington, D. C. Among them are three native young women who have also been trained in the United States. The hospital is open to all patients regardless of race or color. ee a a om + >y vem , eg Oe Oe Pt yes = * er oe rr ef » ie eh as Ja ¢ oe > he > ‘THE WASHINGTON PARIS, GENERALLY FRENCH Americans Constitute Only 15 Per Cent of Total in the Capital. HELD BETTER QUALITY Paris, Aug. 24 (A.P.).—Americans constituted only 15 per cent of the total volume of tourist traffic passing through Paris this season. Nearly half were provincial Frenchmen eager to see the sights of the capital. “They were less numerous this year, certainly,” said M. Le Bourgeois, head of France's largest tourist agency, “but they were more distinguished.” He went on to explain that the yisitors from the United States this year were of “better quality” than in previous years. Ten per cent of the total were from ee SS et ee ; ; ; : We hes » O29 a a eee oe England, 20 per cent were Spanish or Spanish American and 10 per cent Ger- mans. Canadians are not distinguished from United States citizens in French eyes. Germans and Scandinavians were much more in evidence than at any time since the war. The return of Ger- man tourists to Paris has been a slow process because there is still hostility toward them in certain quarters. English and American visitors are still considered “rich” because of dif- ferences in exchange rates, but the old gouging policies have been gradually giving way to standard prizes. Montparnasse seems likely to become the center of the American colony. Nightly thousands of them gather” in the Rotonde,. the Dome, the Coupole and other cafes. Dr. Dorothy J. Lloyd Scales Jungfrau Peak Grindenwald, Switzerland, Aug. 24 (A.P.).—Dr. Dorothy Jurdan Lloyd, of London, master of arts, fellow of the Institute of Chemistry and author of works on biochemistry, is also a moun- tain climber.

Policé Trace Hungry Robber Who Ate Soap Breslau, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—An unusual clue led to the capture of two profes- sional burglars guilty of a series of baffling crimes. One of the robbers while ransacking an apartment had picked up an apple from the kitchen table and started to bite it. It happened that the fruit was imitation and a«aate of soap. He dropped it quickly .1 disgust and the police used the'tee‘h marks later to identify a captive under suspicion. \ Flood of Bahama Pawn, 2! Cae me Pied eee} ' hee a ek daclaet § - 7 ns tall - ‘?

P.).—These prosperous islands have in- creased their whisk. imports 10 per cent during the first part of 1928. Cus- toms house figures show that every man, woman and ch.ld in the Bahamas would have the use of three cases of hard liquor monthly 1% all of the in- coming bottles stayed {n the islands, which they do not. Despite the massing of coast guard destroyers, cutters uni seaplanes off the Florida coast, more than $2,000,000 worth of whisky was unloaded here during the first six months of this year. Meanwhile she export figures have been cut in half because of the growing practice of § transshipping liquors to schooners and warehouses at Grand Bahama and Rimin! islands. The latter are onilr 60 miles from Palm Beach and Miami. If fast motor boats dash here and there across the Gulf Stream without the formality of clearing the Bahamaa customs, the Ba- haman authorities have no cognizatipe of the fact. ~ Russian Air Lines ; Will Be Augmented Moscow, Aug. 25 (A.P.).—The Soviet government has prepared a program for the development of civil aviation ex- tending over five years.

At the end of the five-year period it is planyged to have 40,000 kilometers. Dentistry Now Done On Installment Plan Chicago, Aug. 24 (A.P.).—The in- Stallment business has extended to teeth.

And because “Canada Dry” contains pure Jamaica ginger (among its other pure ingre- dients) it has a gingery taste that is delightful, especially with food. Insist on getting “Canada Dry,” because of its true flavor and assured purity. These are the pos- sessions of the emerald bottle capped with gold. And you’ll know, beyond question, by the words “Canada Dry” on the bottle cap. ‘CANADA DRY" Reg. U. 8S. Pat. Off.

‘FOR THE ipa POST BOYS AND GIRLS The Junior Post. SECTION OF Pid ASHINGTON rC Ss ie WASHINGTON, D. G; AUGU oe IST 26, 1928. MAKE THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR YOUR WORTHIEST ——- + Remember, Our Prize Scholarship Junior Drawing Contest Ends Soon Dear Post Boys and Girls: Only a few more days now and September and school will be here again. I feel sure that, in your hearts, you will welcome the reopening of your échoois, no matter how Joyous your va- cations may have been. For in school you have the joy of achievement, the pleasure of increasing your store of knowledge, congenial hours with your friends and useful worthwhile occupa- tion. Look forward to the new school season with bright anticipations! Re- solve that its close shall see you still further advanced along the Road of Learning. Be kind and considerate to your teachers and schoolmates and give honest labor to your lessons. In that way you will get all good out of your school days. May I remind our Junior Artists that the prize scholarship contest for a Saturday class in Felix Mahony’s School of Fine and Applied Art will close the day the public schools of Washington open. The winning picture will be selected from among those prin.ed in the Juntor Post this summer. So get busy and’ submit drawings to the Junior Post Editor so’ they may be published in time to make you eligible for the contest. Please remem- ber that the drawings must be on good white paper or cardboard IN BLACK INK ONLY, and must be signed with your ful! name, age, address and school. The subject of your drawing must be original and not copied from the work of other artists. You will notice that we are running two strips every Sunday. That is to give more artists a chance to win the Big Prize. It has been suggested that the juntor artists submit comic strips. We shall be glad to look at them, or at historical strips submitted by our young people. Eager response has come to the plan for a Junior Post serial. Remember the entries for the first chapter, which is to win $2.50 and the great honor of being the start of the serial must be in the editor’s nands not later than September 1 in order to be considered. Do not write about murders, hold- ups, runaway marriages and kindred topics in your stories. We can not print such material because the Junior Post must contain matter that only the youngest child, as wel' as the boy or girl of 17 or 18 may read with safety, pleasure and profit So base your open- ing chapter for the serial on some clean, wholesome subject and you will have a chance to win. For the tiny tots we have the Tiny Tots’ Corner, which is growing apace and where the work of the boys and girls under 10 years of age is printed. I must say that we have been surprised by the talent shown by these little ones. And the tiny tots never copy poems or stories out ot books, either. Their entries are original, one can see that, and sometimes if they have to be printed laboriously because the child is too youag to write in script we care for them all the more. So keep up the good work, Tiny Tots, you are doing your part to make the Junior Post the most wonserfu! paper for boys and girls in Americe.. Until further notice a prize of a gold membership pin will be given to a boy or girl under 10 years of age who sends in the best colored strip from the second page of the Junior Post eac.. Sunday. Look at the strip picture a the top of the second page, then think how it would look in colors. Use either crayons or water colors, but your work must be neat and signed with your name, address and school Boys and girls win mention are entitled to bronze bership pins. Fill out the membership blank in the Junior Post, send it in and get your pin. Gold membership pins will be mailed to those winning them shortly after the prize story, drawing or poem appears in the Junior Post. EDITOR JUNIOR POST. After the Storm. (Awarded $1 Prize.) The big clock just struck 1 as Polly and her mother drove into the farm. Just then it began *> rain. “That's lucky,” said Polly, as she and her mother ran to cover. “We need a good rain.” Luncheon was ready. Polly took off her things and came downstairs. “Polly,” rebuked her mother, “you could have waited until after dinner to change your clothes.” “But, mother,” said Polly, “I simply couldn't stand those old shoes and socks a minute longer.” They ate their lunch in silence until Polly's father said: “Polly, run upstairs and close your window, the rain is coming from the mountain.” Upstairs window. While they were eating their desert a loud crash came from the kitchen, The wind and rain had blown all the dishes out on the floor. Now every one ran around closing windows. Soon Uncle Harry called, “Polly, come look at the brook.” Polly went, and the brook had run all over the field “and made a flood,” as Polly said. It had stopped raining, and Polly went out to look things over. There was the bridge nearly all under water and both the foot logs washed upon shore and all the flood gates gone. The dam was hardly visible, and the wil- low tree was half under water. Polly went out into the road and there she saw her three littie friends, Annie, Ruth and Maud. “Look at our place,” exclaimed Polly. “Yes,” said Ruth, “let’s see your dam,” So they went to look at the dam. They met Polly's father with the cow. Polly’s father said that the animal had been washed down by the current. After they had looked around they went to the bridge. *“Let’s wade,” said Maud. “Too swift,” said Polly. “We don’t need to go into the swift part,” said Annie. “All right,” they all said. They began to wade. “Polly,” come get your bathing suit,” called her mother. “We'll go, too,” said Ruth, ours.” Soon they went to the bridge again and waded. “We can stay an hour,” said Maud. The current abated somewhat, and they could sit on the bottom of the brook without being swept down. Polly, Annie, Ruth and Maud enjoyed that day very much, but their fathers did not like it so much because they age, who honorable meni- ran Polly and closed the “and get had to build new flood gates and fix the foot logs and bridges. Polly will never forget what a good time she had that day. SUZANNE KAPPLER (age 11). R, F. D.

The Alhambra, tn Spain, Hes now a giorious remnant of one of the loveliest examples of Spanish architecture. Two travelers passing beneath the great arch that formed the first gate, paused in admiration and the eldest of the two pointed to the key above the gate, and said, in his grave, solemn voice: “Jack, there is a ‘'ecend that when the key on this gate is touched by the hand on yon gate,” and he pointed to the inner arch, “the Alhambra itself vill fall in ruins.” The other, with a shrugged his shoulders “The hand will never plied, “Do you notice,” “how the index pcinting?” Jack nodded light laugh move,” he re- the othe spoke again, finger seems to be “To that jutting rock?” “Yes,” the elder said, suddenly ex- cited. “Jack, I think the rock Is differ- ent from the others!” and he tried to stir it. It came out easily and left a small dark space. Without hesitation, Jack thrust his hand in and after a moment's search brought out a roll of fine yel- lowed paper, a singular ring cut in a very curious device, and a necklace of gold with a large pearl pendant at the end. He handed it to his father, who, opening it, read aloud in an excited volce the following vale. translating the Moorish script tnto English: ‘To the King Abrashed: My royal fath- er, always have you dealt kindly with me, in all ways except one, and in that one stood firm. The Christian knight must die. You would not listen to my plead- ing, but you were moved, for I heard you order the guards to take him away t> the summer palace, there to await your orders. Royal father, be not angry. I could not let the Christian die. I had watched him each morning from my window. One day he looked up and saw me. That night I stole down to the prison, bribed the guards and talked with him. The next day I heard you tel! him he must die and in spite of my pleadings you would not give in. “So I am leaving you. I have bribed the keepeer and tonight if all succeeds, we will be far out in the hills. I shall take your swift-footed grays, so pursuit will be unavailing. Yet, father, if I do not escape I ask no pardon. But I feel that we shall escape and I shall see the green hills of England, as “avid has promised. “IT leave you this message in the hope that you will find it. Farewell, Spain. “ZOURA.” The father loked up quietly. “The world is rather small, after all,” he smiled. “Is that all?” asked Jack. “That is all Zaura writes, but I can finish the story for you.” “You can, dad!" Jack cried. His father noded. “The Princess Zoura escaped safely to England with David Locksley, heir of Locksley Hall. He married her— and Jack, you are her youngest descendant.” Jack was silent for a minute. “Think of the dangers they must have had crossing these hills.” His father nodded again. “But, Jack, more wonderful yet— think of the incident that made us rap of paper eseusereeee S PUTH PrEELE (age 15). 2139 Wyoming avenue. The W onderful Casket. (Honorable Mention.) In the long time ago there once lived a@ poor woman and her little girl near the edge of a forest. One day the little girl went in the woods to gather berries to sell in the nearby town. She walked and walked and by noon she only had a few berries, hardly enough to cover the bottom of her basket. “This will never do,” she said aloud. “I must find some more berries, or we'll starve. ‘There isn’t a piece of bread left in the house.” This little girl did not know she was near the home of two Brownies, nor did she know that they were behind a tree listening to her, and heard every word she said. “Ahem,” thought one of the Brownies, “here is someone who needs my help, and if she is good and kind I will be her fairy.” So the Brownie quickly changed him- self into an old man and then came from behind the tree. He said, “Little girl, Iam very hungry. Will you please give me some of your berries?” The little girl was kind and gave the little old man some berries. He thanked her kindly and said, “Please wait here a minute.” He went behind the tree and changed himself back into a Brownie and went in his house and from behind the door he got a big box, and on it was printed, “The Wonderful Casket.” He gave it to.the little girl and told her anything she wished would come true. She thanked him and went home but Come 6 le‘s Not Vivian Kelsey. (Awarded ot Cartoon Prize). The Seicisiee. (Awarded Gold Membership Pin). One morning on a cold and rainy day, I woke to find the sky quite dreary and gray. Then quickly the sun shot a pale pink beam, Then many to add to the day's bright gleam, The sky in the East was suffused with pink; pink into orange appeared to sink. orange and red were transformed to gold; The sunrise was painted in colors bold, The The But, alas, to dim Ere the sun had long left the horizon’s rim. glorious gold had to red, And the sun was soon hidden by clouds overhead. the bright scene had begun The turned back The purple haze turned to a gray, all cold, And that is the end of this story old. Our life is like a cold and rainy day; We all must take the gray days with the gay. LOIS GREEN (age 13). 119 Glenbrook road, Battery Park, Bethesda, Md. Camp Days. (Honorable Mention.) Girls, and boys, too, have you ever been to camp? Isn't it fine? I wouldn’t have missed my two months at camp for the world, a camp down in the heart of Maryland. I remember when we trained for the hike to Solomon's Island once, or was it twice a year. We would hike down the hill onto the road and down the road, sometimes to Cap’n Jack's and sometimes farther. When we got back to camp, oh, how tired we were, but how happy. I will never forget dinner when everyone was tired, happy and hungry. The people near would often speak of the sound of our young voices, floating out over the bay as we sang during dinner. Then we would have a motor boat ride. Those boat rides were beautiful with the sky, the bay, and the camp, with the pink clouds sailing behind it. Sometimes instead of the boat ride we would have a play or vaudeville or a masquerade party and dance. At night when every one was tired we would go to our cabins, get ready for bed, and then at the signal each cabin would sing a camp song, the mansion or the older girls’ cabin singing “taps” accompanied by the bugle. I don’t think anyone who has been to camp can forget camp days. HELEN JONES (age 15) 3425 Fourteenth street northwest. Washington, D. C. Flagdown. (Awarded Lies Membership Pin). Four long, straight ranks of boys, chins up, chests out, faces agleam, inspired, tense as the bugle ripples through the first sad notes of retreat, Olid Glory begins to float down, slowly, gracefully, swaying in the gentle breeze as if it were coming down steps. Its ccierepeinad changes, pale blue sky is succeeded by mighty poplars. The flag’s colors become indistinct as it descends, except for the fitful golden rays that light it up as they pene- trate through the forest.

If you had happened to walk about the battlefield at the close of the World War you might have chanced upon a little wooden cross bearing the simple name of “Jack.” Most everyone has heard his story but maybe you have not, so I will tell it to you: Jack was a beautiful police dog who belonged to an American soldier dur- ing the World War. “Budd” Staley, his master, had taken the utmost care in training Jack as a puppy, and when war was declared Budd thought it would be a good plan to take Jack over too. One day, after Budd’s battalion had been in one town for so long the men had despaired of ever seeing the bat- tlefield, a call came for them to move to the front. The men quickly gath- ered their things together and jumped into the waiting trucks Jack, of course, followed. After having proceeded slowly for some dis- tance the men were ordered to get out and march the rest of the way. Jack. sensing that something exciting was about to happen, trotted gayly along beside his master. All at once, with a terrific noise, a shell burst in the middle of the company of men, Some of them dropped dead, with sup- pressed groans on their lips, the rest jumped into a nearby trench and opened fire. For two days they fought huddled in a trench that was too small to hold them. On the morning of the third a rumor swept through the battalion that ammunition was low and, unless some one was able to get immediately to the supply trench, all was lost. Several men tried, only to fall dead after they had advanced a few yards, The commanding officer was on the point of going himself when Budd crawled up to him, begging to let thhim send Jack. Finally the officer con- sented. A note was written and put in a pouch which was tied around the dog’s neck. Budd gave him his instructions and was satisfied that the animal had understood. He watched Jack out of sight praying that he would reach his destination. Jack ran steadily on, Jumping over dead bodies, and squirming under barbed wire fences. All of a sudden he felt a sharp pain in his side and he sank to the ground with a moan. He had been shot. He lay still, but only for a moment, for the faithful doe realized that he must reach the trench at any cost. He crawled along on his stomach, stopping every once in &@ while to catch his breath, for the pain in his side was nearly crazing him, After what seemed an eternity to him he reached the trench and rolled in dead at an oOfficer’s feet. That is the story of Jack’s war ca- reer and not many dogs aieg as pane7 as he. for he was conscious of having ulfilled EVANS, first break. his mission. 2341 Ashmead place.

When we write for The Junior Post we are doing something for other peo- ple far greater than getting the honor and maybe the money for ourselves. Some of us write, not once giving & thought of what happiness we may be spreading in some children’s lives> Personally I write to give pleasure to other children and help brighten their lives Some of the children may be poor and their only joy is to read, yet they haven’t enough money to buy a book. What can they do? Save up one nickel @ week to buy a Washington Post on Sunday and they will find The Junior Post where we are writinz stories and poems or drawing pictures. In this way some little grains of sunshine may be spread into their lives. Then they have a chance just the same as any Of us to make some money by writing or drawing. We should all use this golden Op- portunity presented to us each Sun- day by The Junior Post. MARTHA MARSTON (age 12). Woodstock. Va. ‘ Elephant. The elephant is our largest land &@nimal and some times lives over 100 years. The head is very large with a long trunk capable of moving in any direction and of great use to the beast. Elephants have few teeth. There are two long tusks on the male. The feet are short and rounded and have five toes. The brain is well- developed and elephants are very in- telligent. They live on grass, leaves, fruit. boughs, and roots. The elephant is Often tamed and trained and is com- monly seen in the circus. The ele- phant now seems to be found only in Central Africa.

( ups d cream Junior Book Reviews In quaint old Hagerstown there is a| weather vane which has guarded the top of the market place since colonial days. Isabelle Hurlbutt has written a story about it which she calls “Little Heiskell” (E. ~~. Dutton & Co., New York), and it is one of the loveliest of the summer books for children. Miss Hurlbutt wa a children’s librarian, ana she knows how to tell a story ina way which will please boys and girls. One day “Little MHeiskell,” the weather vane, stepped down off his high perch and walked through the market. and there he learned many things and saw many strange sights before he returned to his commanding position as the weather vane Alida Conover has contributed col- ored illustrations to the book which add still more to its attractiveness. Older boys and even girls who like baseball will rejoice in a fine story on their favorite sport, “The Baseball De- tective,” by Charles G. Muller (Harper & Bros., New York). The author 1s a well-known writer for boys, and. he knows boys and the sport world thor- oughly.

Young people will revel in “Rovers of the Valley,” by Augustus H. Ball (J. M. Dent, London), which gives the au- thor the opportunity of telling the story of the life in a Canadian district of the province of Saskatchewan. A number of young people camp out and they build a bridge, find a collection of ar- rowheads and come into contact with an Indian village. Adventure follows adventure, and the various members of the party have a gay time ar well as learn valuable lessons in cooperation. The illustrations by Christine Chisholm greatly add to the attractiveness of the volume which will be prized by Boy and Girl Scouts especially The latest addition to the well-known “Bob's Hill,” a series of juveniles, by Charles Pierce Burton, and published by Henry Holy & Co., New York, is *“Bob’s Hill Meets the Andes.” Mr. Bur- ton has a wide first-hand Knowledge of the South American countries, and his American boys are led through. an ex- citing series of adventures, which give him the opportunity to paint in de- tailed background of the country and furnish much historical and geograph- icai material. A book famous for over 1,800 years goes into a new form this month, “An- tiquities of the Jews and the Jewish Wars,” by Josephus, the Jewish his- torian has been re 9ld by W. S. Walsh, and is being published by J. B. Lippin- cott, Philadelphia, under tke title “Our Young Folks’ Josephus.” In this edi- tion it becomes a young people’s story of the Jews from Abraham's entry into Canaan to the fall of Jerusalem. Just now when camp life is at its height it is interesting to read a book which gives such intimate glimpses of how to conduct a camp along the best lires of efficiency and ple--ure giving as “The Boys’ Book of Camp Life,” by Elon Jessup (E. P. Dutton & Co., New York). Mr. Jessup has had a long and varied experience in every phase of camping. In his book he goes into such detail as to what to do in an emergency; the necessary equipment for hikes; overnight camping, and per- manent camps. It is fully illustrated by Charles Cartwright with authentic diagrams of the types of equipment. Mrs. Brown heard something fall.

She was going to try to make two grades in the one year, so of course that meant plenty of studying for a girl of 1l years. Just then she thought, “I'll ask moth- er if I can go up in the attic and get all my old books out and review some of my work, for that wiil help me along when Tf start to school.” It was just three weeks until school and she began planning what all she could get done in that time.

Her mother readily said “Yes,” she was very happy to see what an terest in school her little daughter beginning to take. Anne climbed the attic steps in a hurry, and at once set to work to find her last year’s books. She fixed up a desk for her things and began reviewing history, geography, reading and arithmetic, for those were her favorite studies. Unaware of the time, the hands of the clock advanced from 9 to 12. Mother called her three times, but as she did not answer she became worried and thought something must huve happened to her. So she went to the attic and saw Anne working away at some arithmetic examples. Anne was so absorbed in her arith- metic book that she did not notice her mother’s smiling face bent over her figure. Her mother at last said: “Come, Anne; you have studied long enough for this morning, and besides lunch is waiting for you.” The three weeks that followed Anne spent her mornings studying for school.

AROUND THE CAMP FIRE, By Rowena Bastin Bennett. Pile up the logs and tangled brush And let the fire leap high, And while the mad flames roar and rush Into the solitude and hush Of yonder starry sky, We'll gather round mound And sing old songs and new, Or, by the dying embers, tell Fantastic tales and true— On every face the fire will throw Its radiance Each heart will glow’ With magic fellowship. And when the circle of the light Grows dim and shadows grip Our shoulders, we shall rise and steal Each to his tent, rejoiced to feel That life is sweet and nothing mars Our sleep beneath a flame of moon, Beneath the spark-like stars.

Be- side him his two buddies also sat and Shivered. Theirs was a friendship made at training school and so close was it that they went by the name “Three Musketeers.” Suddenly Freddy Daily, in a moment of absentmindedness, yawned, stood up, Started to stretch his arms and—zin?! a bullet from a German sniper’s gun fanned the air near Freddy’s cheek. The young gentleman uttered a howl and sat down in a mud puddle at the bottom of the trench. “Beau” and Jerry Talbot, the other buddy, gazed open-mouthed at Freddy and Beau was finally able to sputter “Well! of all the big chumps, you take the cake. Standing up like that. Oh ow”’—“Yeah,” Jerry cut in, "you chucklehead why did—"” But further conversation was cut short for Capt. Kennedy came down the trench, fol- lowed by Lieut. McCabe. The three saluted and after return- ing their salutes, the captain mounted the firing step and scanned the tangie of mud, wire and shell holes that was No Man's Land with his field glasses. After a few minutes, he turned to McCabe and said “Fawcett’s done for that’s certain, but we must have those papers. They have outlines of a con- oerted attack by the French and Amer- icans. If the Huns get them, good night! But why in thunder did he take them along when he went out with that raiding party?” It was then that “Beau” stepped for- Ward and said: “Captain, I think I can get the lieutenant’s body back to the trenches if I have some help. If you will throw a barrage fire to cover us I’ll keep the Boches so busy they won't think about potting us. And if I don’t get the body back it will be because I can’t get back myself.” The captain whirled around, gazed at “Beau” and said, “By George, that's ankee pluck for you! Blaise you have my permission to go. Who will you take?”” Without waiting for an an- 6wer be said to Lieut. McCabe, “My compliments to Capt. Dawson and tell him to start shelling the Huns at 9:35 and not to stop until so ordered.” Wheeling, Lieut. McCabe departed and the oaptain turned again to the buddys. “Sir,” said “Beau,” “You asked me who I was to take on the expedition. I will take my pals, Privates Daily and Talbot, along.” “Very good, corporal, you start five minutes,” replied the captain. In less than a minute the first shell of the bombardment went screaming Overhead to explode in the Hun trenches. Then gun after gun let loose and before long were pouring a rain of shells into Teuton dugouts. Five minutes went while the three Stood waiting. Then at 9:35 bombard- ment increased in fury until the enemy trenches were beaten into a veritable pulp in a mad effort to keep them under ground. “Ready boys, and God ‘bless you,” said Capt. Kennedy, and shook hands with them one by one. Jerry was the first to scale the lad- der. He went up with a smile.on his face and in a moment was on the parapet. For an instant he stood erect, then with a cry that trailed off into a groan he staggered, threw up his hands and fell backward into Beau’s arms. He opened his eyes and said softly, “Go it, Beau, old boy. Au _ revoir.” Beau layed the quiet body down, went up the ladder in a flash and threw him- self flat on the ground. Then he crawled through the lane in the barbed wire entanglement and paused to wait for Freddy to catch up. Freddy soon came up and together they crawled for- ward. In Beau pushed, hearing the whine of bullets above his head and the thun- derous detonation of the big guns. In and on, crawling through shiny, oozy mud: Ice and stones cut and bruised his hands and knees. Once he fell in a shell hole filled with water and crawled out exceedingly wet and un- comfortable. Twice Beau glanced back for Freddy, who had dropped to the rear and saw the little Irishman following doggedly after his pal. Beau was tired and wanted, oh so much, to stand up and stretch his weary arms and legs. But still he crawled on and at 10 yards Beau could see plainly the ghastly, mud- smeared face of the dead lieutenant. Five yards now, and Freddy right be- hind him. Then at last they reached in LD eg ey ee -_ ‘August 26, 1928 --* | JUNIOR ey ie am vy cal | a e°F MeV WP] _ werner BIY.i a SPINDLES VACATION AZ the body of Fawcett. “C’man, Freddy, let’s get going, pal,” said Beau. And Freddy spurred on by his partner's ex- ample picked up the feet of the lieu- tenant, while Beau grabbed his shoul- ders. Then they started back on their long and perilous journey. Back staggered Freddy and slipping, sliding and floundering sea of mud Once they slipped a shell hole, but were soon up roing again. However, their back was quicker than going out. Then at iast, oh cheerful sight! their own trenches and wire entanglements. Soon they were treading the lanes of the wire maze and at last, exhausted but successful, they tumbled over the parapet into their own trenches amid the cheering of the other soldiers. At that moment Capt. Kennedy came rushing up and cried, “My lads, words can’t express how happy I am that you returned safely. Your grit and courage are wonderful.’ But Beau said. with an appealing look at his captain, “Sir, please tell me how my buddy is! Is he--?" Beau could not finish the sentence. Capt. Kennedy's face lighted up he said joyfully: “No, boy, he’s not dead. Far from it He was hit in both shoulders and the leg but he'll pull through. And why, what’s pos- sessed the boy?” This remark was called by Beau giving a shout and, starting to rum down the narrow trench, yelling at every jump. “Oh, well,” said the captain and he shrug- ged his shoulders, “Boys will be boys. And now I guess I'd better have a look at those papers,” and he departed toward his dugout. Half an hour later “Beau Blazes’”’ let himself into a dugout, above which was a Sign which read, “Suicide Club,” grabbed a blanket, curled up, and slept the sleep of the brave. ELINOR KING (age 13). 4612 Hunt avenue, Chevy Chase, Md Jack’s Club. (Honorable Nention.) One day Jack Wudley was sitting by a window reading a when he came to an advertisement that read something like this “Boys! Start a Rifle Club With Winchester Rifles!” From that Jack got au inspiration. He immediately ran over to his chum, Sam, across the street. and told him his scheme. Sam was enthusiastic about the idea. They talked the matter over and agreed to meet each other that night. That evening at 6 o'clock Jack met Sam on the corner and from there they went to the houses of their different chums, Bob, Frank, Johnny, Joe and Tommy. Every one li'ked the idea and planned that evening to meet in Jack’s house. The whole bunch arrived at Jack's house, and they started their meet- ing in the cellar. As soon as the boys were seated in a circle, Jack gave fuller details on organizing this club. After that Sam proposed that they elect officers for the club, president and . secretary-treasurer The rest agreed and each boy cast his vote. The results were that Jack was made president and Joe was made secretary- treasurer, because his father was a banker. All the boys agreed to meet the next week. Just then Jack’s mother entered with a platte: of cookies and a pitcher of lemonaie and said, “Go to it, boys!’" And the boys needed no second invitation. Every week the boys attended meet- ings, and soon che boys had enough money from the dves to buy the long- waited-for rifles. Jack made out ar order and sent the money for the rifies. A few days later, the brand-new. shiny rifles ar- rived just loaded with fun for the boys. Jack brought them to the next meeting, and there one was given to each boy. During the week the boys gathered and had target practice in Frank's long yard. Day after day they practiced until they were able to handle their firearms very well. Soon they were able to have compe- tition with neighboring towns and counties in which Jack’s Sharpshoot- ers (as they were called) won all con- tests easily. After that no on* disputed their claim to the championship of the State. MICHAEL D’ANTUONO (age 14). 516 Fern street northwest. The Robin. (Honorable Mention.)

Music is torture and terror for me until the wrong is righted. Sometimes I have a great deal of work to do which I dislike. It is then that I play vivid, stirring marches which send me forth, vigorous to per- form the task. With my heart sing- ing to martial time, it is much easier for me to take commands from those who are my superiors, to do my duty, and to face, without flinching, unkind remarks and criticisms. There are times when all of us feel the need of romance. This appears in all its enchantment and charm in Leybach’s Nocturne. With the first note, the golden moon rises in the dark, cerulean skies; the radiant, glow- ing stars twinkle sleepily (or are they afraid to look down upon the scene below): the quiet breeze stealing through the garden carries the fra- grance of dewy nights and Ilingers near the walk where a young couple stroll. I know the girl well, even the color of her eyes and what she is thinking. He tells her of his love; quaint, minor undertones softly struck express her maidenly hesitation, and when I came to the end, joyous major chords and a merry, little trill express the idea: “and they lived happily ever | after.” The flowing of the trees, of water, the rustling the color of the sunset, and the song of »birds—all are music. That is why music brings me nearer to God. If His angels sing always in heaven, and if He made so much music here on earth, He is not only the God of Power and Goodness, but he is also the God of Beauty and Music. God loves music, and I feel closer to Him because I love it, toe. Some of the things I play are only beautiful. Once I saw a garden wall with a long, shining row of crystal vases filled with roses upon it. Some- one interrupted me then and the dis- sonance which my fingers struck caused the silver, rose-filled bowls to topple from the wall, and break into a thou- sand fragments beneath, crushing the roses and scattering their bleeding petals. I love music because it seems to help fill my soul with something which is unattainable, and yet it increases the desire within me for something utterly out of reach. It does not bring peace and satisfaction, but rather seems to urge on that innate longing within me for some unknown thing which wanders among the stars. ALICE ST. AHLES HARRISON.

As naked-eye comets, that is, those that large and near enough to be seen with the naked eye, have long bright tails trailing after them. They called hairy stars in the olden days, and as coma in Latin means hair, are were cometes means long-haired comet in a | perfectly good and natural way. of large of three distinct parts, and the nucleus, the coma and the tail. The nucleus of a comet is the bright part of the head and this is made up of a swarm of small bodies like meteors. The coma is that part of the comet which surrounds the nucleus, and this is believed to be formed of gas and meteoric dust; the head of the comet is made up of the nucleus and coma; finally, the tail is composed of very thin gases, made luminous by being electrified as they trail out from the head, and, curlously enough, no mat- ter whether it is coming toward or going from the Sun, it always points away from that celestial luminary on account of the great light pressure that it throws off into space. The nucleus and head or coma of a comet are the only portions to which dimension can strictly be assigned. There are doubtless many comets whose coma are so small that we never see them-——probably all less than 15,000 miles in diameter remained undiscov- ered. The heads of telescopic comets vary from about 25,000 to 100,000 miles in diameter; that of Donati’s comet of 1858 was 250,000 miles in diameter, and that of the great comet of 1811, the greatest on record, was nearly five times as large. Tails of comets. are inconceivably extensive, short ones being about 10,- 000,000 miles long, and the longest ones (that of the comet of 1882, for example) exceeding 100,000,000. To realize this prodigious bulk, one must remember that if such a comet’s head were at the sun, the tail would stretch far out- side and beyond the earth. EDWARD F. HOPPER. 1333 Belmont street.

In the morn- ing Jane was up early and she was happy because, as she said to her mother, “I’m all thrills because this is my first party.” That afternoon at a quarter to 3 she was downstairs and waiting for her friends. She was worried because her presents had not come from her aunt and the refreshments had not arrived. At 4 o'clock she ran to her mother, heartbroken because her friends had not come, When her father came at 5 o’clock without the promised present she said, “No one came to my party and you did not bring me a present; I am heart-~ broken.” She was about to run to her room when her father caught her in his arms and said, “This is not your birth- day, Jane; tomorrow is your birthday.” She looked at her mother and then her father and wondered which was the truth. Her mother answered, “Your father is right, Jane. I had forgotten myself, but let this be a lesson to you to look at the calendar and be sure about a thing before you make another mis- take like this.” The next day the refreshments came, her friends came and her father gave her the promised present with a calen- dar. This experience taught Jane A lesson she has never forgotten. MARY Na ROCHE (age 13). 3522 Albemarle street. The Country.
