Burlingame, suspended commander of the Second Police Pre- cinct, before a special police trial board to answer charges against him by Mrs. Helen F. Blalock, Seventh street palmist and former friend of the captain. This was disclosed yesterday by Cor- poration Counsel William W. Bride, who said that although there may be some question about Blanton's con- gressional immunity to any procedure to compel his appearance at the trial, the Texan has promised his thorough cooperation and has consented to ap- pear before the trial board. Blanton, as a matter of fact, will be the star witness of the trial if Mrs. Blalock does not appear, a matter which still seems to be in doubt despite continued expressions of confidence that she will come out of hiding at the “proper moment.” Sride Assured Again. Bride said yesterday that he had been assured by a certain party” that Mrs. Blalock will be here this week.

SIR ESME STIRS CRITICS London, Feb. 16 (N.Y.W.N.8.).—Fresh confusion entered the situation sur- rounding British and American naval construction and limitation today when the foreign office issued a statement which was taken as a contradiction of the one issued in Washington yesterday by Sir Esme Howard, the British Am- bassador. Sir Esme had indicated the probabil- ity of an early conference to. iimit naval armament and it was assumed he spoke with knowledge that his gov- ernment was contemplating a move- ment in that direction. The foreign office statement said “that there has been no change in the situation” since Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary. anounced ‘n the house of commons recently that relations hbe- tween Great Britain ard the United States wete being carefully. examined, but the government would no. be able | to make a further statement fox mye time, ae It Was said that the govetaiands 1s proceeding with great thoroughness in preparations for reopening of negotia- tions, but it will be necesasty to con- sult the dominions and consider their views onthe whole question before an mK announcement is made, hence the repetition of the statement that there can be no further communication for some time. Issuance of this communication is be- lieved to be the result of criticism of Sir Esme’s statement by newspapers and members of parl‘ament. The Sun- day newspapers treat-this affair in a sensational way. “New sea pact blunder. Sir Esme Howard repudiated. Foreign office in- quest.” This is how the Sunday Times (not the London Times) headlines its story on Howard's diplomatic maneuver. The Times chronicles “astonishment in of- ficial circles” at Sir Esme’s statement, which it compares with. the foreign of- fice communique of today,. declaring: “It is obvious from the two state- ment, that some one has badly blun/ dered.” The Sunday express prints a “deadly parallel” between Sir Esme’s statement and the foreign office announcement that there is ‘no change in the situa- tion” and that after an examination of the situation is concluded the next step will be to consult the dominions so that this government can do noth- ing further for some time.” The dispatch, of Thursday, stating that the British do not propose to Chicago Starts Rum Drive To Crush Power of Gangs City Given Real Taste of Prohibition as Result of Slaughter of 7.

A yellow and black plane had passed over Southport, N.

Inquirers Find That flier failed to show up in Washington |- fmen at Cape Hatteras Coast Guard] Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 16 (U.P.).— More than 197 hours had passed tonight - Business Pays Better | Over $2,000 Level. CIVIL SERVICE RULES HELD MORE EXACTING ment Liberal in Leaves. Big business pays better than Uncle Sam for work done by employes above the $2,000 salary level, according to a Nation-wide survey by the personnel classification board. This is brought out in a preliminary report submitted to Congress yester- day by William H. McReynolds, who directed the survey for the board. The report, one of the most voluminous ever delivered at the Capitol, is ex- pected to have far-reaching effect on the personne! policy of the Federal Government. McReynolds wrote into the report & dozen or more “tentative” conclu- sions, as follows: “The Government pay scale, repre- sented by the classification act of 1923 and amendments, for the positions in the custodial service, is generally some- what lower than the average pay for similar non-Government positions. Better Than Colleges. “For. positions in the other services the Government pay scale below the $2,000 level is more liberal than the average pay for similar nongovern- ment position and for those above the $2,000 level ft is less liberal. “For certain kinds of professional! and scientific positions the Government pay scale is more liberal than the aver- age, pay for similar positions in the larger colleges and universities, al- though these same positions command a considerably higher rate in some of the institutions in queéstion. “There is a considerable number of /employets ‘who pay higher. rates than the t scale even for the lower level .of positions. “There does not appear to be justin- cation.on the basis of comparison with nongovernment practice for establish- ing generally a different level of pay fot similar work in different localities. Hours Are Comparable. ' “The hours ‘6f labor An the Govern- ment. compare favorably with commer- cial practice. “The leave privileges in Government service are generally more liberal than outside “Nongovernment employers do not generally provide retirement systems but in some cases systems even more liberal than the Government retirement plan are provided and in many in- stances other similar advantages are provided, such ag group insurance and cooperative stock purchasing plans. “The civil service tests for fitness for employment in the Government service are more exacting and difficult than requirements generally for non-Govern- ment employment.” Wide Study Made. McReynolds said in the report that he and those who helped him on the survey had studied the duties and wages of approximately 500,000 em- ployes in private business and indus- try “The outstanding fact disclosed by the comparison,” he declared. “is that while the Government rates for posi- tions in the clerical. administrative and fiscal service are comparatively liberal in the lower grades, the differ- ence is less in each successive grade and it entirely disappears in grade 4. From that point on the non-Govern- ment rates are increasingly liberal.” McReynolds also reported that the allocation of field employes has not been done in 4 consistent. equitable way. and declared that the recruiting of field employes is difficult under existing conditions The Personal Classification Board was directed to make the survey in the Welch salary act of the last session. At that time, McReynolds was a mem- ber of the boara. but in order to de- vote his entire time to the problem he resigned. May eo, Help Measure. The Federation of Federal Employes campaigned for such a survey for ten years or more, contending that it would revea] that Uncle Sam is far from be- ing: the benevolent employer that he frequently is pictured as being. And in some respects the McReynolds re- port bears out that contention. The expert’s findings on the retire- ment question is expected to serve as an added argument in favor of pas- sage of the Dale-Lehlibach retirement bill, which now is being blocked by the House leaders. Robert H. Alcorn, chairman of the joint conference on retirement, has bee circulating a petition at the Cap- itol urging the leaders to permit the bill to come up for a vote. Yesterday 271 representatives had signed the pe- tition, and Alcorn hopes to increase that number to 300 by tomorrow. MERT SPRING ON ITS NORTH- WARD JOURNEY AT ASHEVILLE.

LINER HARDING IS ON WAY New York. Feb. 16 (A.P.).—The Radio Marine Corporation at 10 o’clock to- night received the following message from the steamship London Corpora- tion: “Now in latitude 41:30 north, longitude 49:50 west. Found no trace of S. S. Padnsay. Now going to search to leeward.” The position given by the London Corporation is the same as that re- ported by the Padnsay when she broad- cast her S O S this morning. The message from the London Cor- poration was the first word word received here that any ship other than the Press: ident. to distressed steamer'’s assistance. forts to communicate with the Padnsay have been unavailing. Through one of the worst North At+ lantic storms of che winter the United Statés Lines President Harding plowed its way tonight toward the American freighter Padnsay, rudderless and help- less, with at least 35 persons aboard. The liner immediately departed from its course for Europe when the freight- er’s S$ O S was picked up. about 10 a. m.. but her commander, Capt. Will- lam Rind, six hours later reported he had received no further word from the stricken ship. He believed the freighter’s wireless had been blown away. but he kept on in the direction of the position indicated in the dis- tress flash, and expected to reach the vessel about 4 a. m. tomorrow. This confirmed previous estimates that eighteen. hours would be required to close the gap of approximately 300 miles between the two vessels, the gen- eral position of which was 300 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, and 1,000 miles east of New York. The President Harding had been making only about 12 knots, presumably because of heavy seas. The steering gear of the Padnsay presumably was broken some time dur- ing the 36-hour storm that had been Sweeping the Atlantic steamer lanes. Rain and snow, driven by winds which had approached gale force, were abat- ing, although weather continued thick and a heavy sea was running The offices of the Barber Line, op- erators of the Padnsay, said the ves- sel’s captain might be able to rig up & jury rudder and fight the storm safely. The freighter had two passen- gers bound for Monrovia, Africa, and carriec a crew of about 35 or 40 hands.

Mr. Kellogg's statement is interpreted to mean that America would abandon neutrality in favor of a policy o: participation in all future wars if the resolution were adopted and fol- lowed in practice. Mr. Kellogg had appeared before the. committee for the purpose of discussing the Porter resolution on arms embargos This resolution, of which Chairman Porter, of the House foreign affairs com- mittee, is the author, is very different fundamentally from the Capper resolu- tion.

COLUMN 2 Approves Report by Jenney Calling for More Frequent Inspections of Apartment Houses; Watson Criti- cized; Merger Backed in Principle. The Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions, which at its last meeting highly commended the Fire Department for the efficient manner in which it fought the Dulin & Martin fire, last night turned on the Fire Department in a vicious attack led by N. F. Jenney, of Congress Heights, chairman of the fed- eration police and fire committee, and Louis H. Gelbman, also from the same section of the city. Jenney drew a severe indictment of the department in the course of which he declared that Fire Chief George 5. Watson shoyild resign, proposed that the chief of the department should not be permitted to sound more than four alarms for any fire until he had consulted with the deputy chief, and declared that specifications for fire apparatus were drawn with the purpose of excluding from the bidding all com- panies except those whose equipment was wanted. The Federation, through approval of Jenney’s committee report, criticized the fact that two fire captains, O. R. Moxley and George Meeks are not in command of fire companies but the former is employed in fire headquarters and the latter drives the automobile of Fire Chief Watson and acts as his aid. The denunciation was precipitated when Jenney arose; late in the meeting. when many delegates had gone, to re- port on the resolution adopted by the): Congress Heights Association protest- ing that fire apparatus had been drawn from its neighborhood to fight the duwntown fire. Both Jenney and Gelbman retailed/. to the federation fragments of- con-/ versations they had had since the fire with privates in the department, and with some of the officers, Jenney de- claring that when the ‘sixth alarm was. sounded the captain of the Congress Heights engine company did not know whether he should respond to it or not, but finally decided to do so, | “The only section of the city that was adequately protected while the appara- tus was downtown was the southwest section which was covered by Alexand- CONTINUED ON PAGE 12, COLUMN 2.

Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 16.—Presi- @ent-elect Hoover today finished with Florida’s story of stark tragedy and Gauntless courage and went into the very silk-hatted Bath and Tennis Club Of Palm Beach as if to forget. As to just what he thinks of man’s efforts to conquer that vast wilderness known “as the Everglades, of nature’s recurring defeats of him—whether the fight is futile or worthwhile—remains to be seen. Mr. Hoover and members of his party ere making arrangements to leave for Washington at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The train will arrive in the Capital Tuesday afternoon. So far as the impressions of the Lake Okeechobee leaders, who accompanied Mr. Hoover back to Palm Beach, are concerned, they are going back to the hamlets. of shacks, gasoline stations and gravel .

He talked to them about Fiorida’s prob- lem, and said there are no Democrats or Republicans, when it comes to that. Pays Tribute to Hoover. As for Mr. Hoover, he wants to state publicly that he considers him “a gtates- man, a humanitarian, a great admin- istrator—a great man in contact with a great subject.” This from a Demo- crat, but ome who was rather luke- warm about Smith, at that. On his way to Belle Isle, Mr. Hoover stopped at Fort Lauderdale to let the school children, who had missed him on his upgoing trip, see him. They cheered their appreciation and clapped their hands. They were a sharp con- trast to the barefooted youngsters of the Okeechobee district. The city blew the fire whistle for him. It was a most select company that lunched with him at the Paim Beach Club, less than 100 invitations being is- sued. Some 700 waited expectantly and worked hard to the last minute to get in. Social hearts were crushed, be- cause it was what might be. called the event of the season. Mrs. Hoover joined him at the club. J. Francis Burke, of Philadelphia, general counsel for the Republican national committee, sranged the party. Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chairman of this same committee, was there. Mr. Hoover’s acceptance of the invi- tation ‘would seem to belie stories sent out from Miam} Beach that he planned to “high tone” Washington society because he had refused social proffers at the be all of them from the Nation’s most inguished folk.

Palm Beach, Fia., Feb. 16 (A.P.).— Mrs. Herbert Hoover today broke the purely social aspect of her trip to Palm Beach long enough to meet with local Girl Scouts as a Girl Scout herself.

Wight, Girl Scout champion, where the meeting took place, Accompanied by Mrs. Edgar Rickard, of Miami, Mrs. Hoover arrived in West Palm Beach about 1 o’clock and spent a half hour on the lawn with the Girl Scouts, talking informally and listen- ing to the songs in hef honor. Then she took motion pictures of the as- sembled scouts. After the meeting Mrs. Hoover mp- tored to Palm Beach to join her hus- band for the luncheon given in their honor by Jamtfes Francis Burke, na- tional counsel of the Republican party, and Mrs. Burke at the Bath and Ten- nis Club. The future First Lady wore a smart ensemble of biege georgette, the dress end coat being in contrasting tones, which also reflected tn her close-fitting hat. At the scout ceremony she was presented with a large box of . sweet peas, many of which she distributed to the scouts for their memory books.

MANY KILLED IN BLAST Mexico City, Feb. 16 (U. P.). —Despite the violent turn of events within the past few days, church leaders believe that President Emelio Gil still is favorably inclined toward making peace with the Catholic Chuch, Bishop Miguel Dela Mora, of San Luis Potosi, told the United Press tonight. -. Mora is secretary of the bishop's sub- committee and acting head of the Mexti- can Episcopate and he has been in hid- ing in the capital for more than a year. Train guards were redoubled today on both the Laredo and Southern Paci- fic lines after yesterday's dynamiting of @ train in Michoacan, The War depart- ment also ordered troop strength re- doubled at all stations in the States of Queritaro, Quanajuato, San Luls Pot- osi, Jalisco, Colima and Michoacan. Four Passengers Among the Dead. A check up at the railway head- quarters of Guadalajara showed that beside killing the engineer, firemen and entire tijlitary escort, the explosion which blew up the train between Los Reyes and Yurecuaro yesterday killed four passengers—two mnen, a woman and a child.

Discussing the religious situation, Bishop Mora said: “The tension of the religious situa- ‘tion has reached such o stage that I believe a climax and solution are in- evitable within the year.” Believes Calles Still Active. Questioned about char,es published that ex-President Plutarco Calles still was directing the religious policy of the government, Mora replied: “I don’t know this to be true, but I personally think so.” Mora said he had no knowledge as to whether United States Ambassador Dwight Morrow was trying unofficially to bring about a religious settlement. “Only an amendment of the laws would end the religious conflict,” he said. “Millions of peopie requested these amendments in petitions to the sGovernment, which, contrary to law, Ihave not even been answered, The Government has ample proof that the clergy is pacifically inclined as proved by the fact that they desisted from any participation in revol€ with the excep- tion of four or five who engaged there- in on their own responsibility.

It was a wlar demonstration which could “Mave been avoided if it had not been provoked by police. “Threatening . letters received by members of the government have caus- @d a general unsettled state of mind.” . The bishop condemned the bombing of President Portes Gil’s train as “con- trary to Christian morality.” Bishop Demands Guarantees. Mora indicated that priests would be allowed to use their own judgment on the question of registering their ad- Gresses. ’ While he was not yet ready to say what the official announcement of the ‘@piscopate’s attitude on registration of priests would be, the bishop said: “This kind of registration doesn't infringe upon the office and rights of priesthood. However, the episcopate Only has government assurances that it won't be abused. ‘ “I would list my address, if I were Mora said he believed if priests thought it expedient to register, “it May ease the religious situation,” but the bishops strongly objected to. the government's threat to declare pfiests Tebels if they do not register.

GUNMEN, LIQUOR MEN HIT (Associated Press.) Laden with provisions for the de- portation of alien gunmen and liquor law violators, the Senate deportation bill was passed by the House yesterday and returned to the Senate for agree- ment to amendments. The measure as passed by the House was changed materially from the form in which it came from the Senate. It carried ptovisions for the deportation of persons found upon investigation to be undesirable aliens and put in this class violators of the white slave, nar- cotic, prohibition and immigration laws and those who are habitual crim- inals. The bill was passed after a motion to -}return it to committee for the purpose of clarifying one of its provisions had been defeated. The motion was made by Representative LaGuardia (Repub- lican), New York, who contended that under one section of the measure per- ons who might be sentenced for @ year’s imprisonment for minor infrac- tions of the law could be deported. He argued that it should be changed to cover offenses involving moral turpi- tude. ; The two principal changes made in the House would provide for the de- portation of aliens convicted of carry- ing weapons or explosive bombs and of those sentenced to a year or more for transporting, selling or manufacturing liquor. - The first proposal was written into the measure Friday and the othér pro- ], offered by Representative Tarver Democrat), Georgia, was aceepted yct»s- terday. | Day in Congress SENATE.

WORLD UMPIRE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ca and to China in case of domestic disturbances,” said Secretary Kellogg. “I would say that it is very doubtful if he has the power to prevent arms shipments to. belligerent nations in those countries. “The Porter bill, as 1 understand It, extends the President's emvargo powers to all nations. When it comes to bar- ring shipments of arms to nations where conflict threatens or exists, the President has many questions to consider,” Mr. Kellogg then pointed out that no real purpose in the interest of mini- mizing war would be accomplished in cases where the belligerents get all the arms they need from sources other than in the United States. Recalls China’s Experience. Even when several countries, includ- ing America, barred arms shipments to China, there was no difficulty experi- enced by China in getting all the arms she needed. This has become 6&0 ap- Parent that the powers are now about to rescind the embargo against arms shipments to the Chinese. When asked as to his opinion of the Porter resolution, Secretary Kellogg said he saw no objection to it but added ~~ a TS LT TE ae 0 Under RRIS PLAN BANK Supervision 1408 H Street N. W., We that the exercise of such power by the President would be fraught with cer- tain difficulties. : Sale of arms to belligerents by citizens of the United States is not & violation of neutrality nor would pro- hibition of shipments to belligerents spell violation of neutrality so long as one belligerent is ireated on the same basis as the other. Secretary Kellogg is opposed to the Burton resolution, introduced a year ago. which would automatically ban arms shipments to all nations in the event of war or threat of war. Danger to America lurks in this reso- lution, it is generally conceded, be- cause a situation might arise whereby an automatic ban on arms shipments would be highly offensive to one or more nations directly or indirectly in- volved in the threatened controversy. Another reason for opposition to this resolution lies in the fact that it’ again emphasizes what is described as “the present-day mania” of the internation- alists in the United States to have Uncle Sam meddle in the affairs of other nations at every opportunity.

Protest against using the Senate fo- rum “for stirring up religious hatred” was voiced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Bingham (Republican) mnecticut, after Senator Heflin (Democrat), Alabama, had completed another attack against the “influence of the man Catholic Church.” Heflin {mmediately challenged Bing- ham to debate in the Washington Audi- torilum next month the “propriety of calling of attention here to the dan- gres which threaten religious freedom.” This: was ignored Bingham, but he heatedly denied ‘’s accusation that some one had inspired him to reply to the Alabaman. The exchange occurred with only a few senators on the floor. Bingham spologized to Senator Heflin for stat- ae that his speeches were “Intended to stir up religious bigotry.” Heflin hed shouted “that is untrue.” Says He Used Wrong Word. “Use of the word intended was wrong,” said Bingham, “and I apolo- gize. I should have said these speeches do stir up religious hatred. They lead to misunderstandings. As a Protestant and as a Mason, I wish to protest against the use of this forum for the stirring up of religious hatred in this country. I wish the. record to show that the great majority of senators are not in sympathy with these speeches just because they are ignored.” Taking the floor again after a speech of more than an hour, Heflin declared , “there are some mighty weak-kneed Protestants here and some mighty weak-kneed Masons.” But when he referred again to the influence of the Catholic Church in the Senate, - ham declared that he had been - fluenced by no one and Heflin said he accepted his statement. Heflin opened his speech with the reading of letters he said he had been receiving, lauding him for his effort to prevent the fiying of the church pen- nant above the American flag on Navy vessels during church services. The Senate two weeks ago voted down & proposal by Heflin to prohibit this. The vote was 68 to 10. Calls Flag “Roman Cross.” At that time Heflin contended that the church pennant was actually the “Roman cross,” The Alabaman declared tha “if Her- bert Hoover meets this Catholic issue he will be reelected in 1932. However. he said, “If.he dallies or plays with it, the issue in 1932 will be Catholic or non-Catholic control of this Gov- ernment.” Assailing what he described as the Catholic “penpushers” in the press gal- lery, Heflin said they had denounced him for his attempt to prevent the fiying of the church pennant above the American flag. He denounced Musso- lini for his agreement with the Vati- can and asserted that “religious free- dom lies dead in Italy at the feet of Mussolini.” ePriest in City For Day’s Visit Negro Reprseentative Calls at Capital and Sees Several Schools.

SHY AGENTS Doctor, in Short Time, Gave Her 31 Prescriptions, Officials Charge. REPORT IS SENT HERE Los Angeles, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—Alma Rubens, film actress, today was in the Hollywood Hospital in a precarious con- dition from a surgical operation per- formed yesterday while Federal and State agents were completing their in- vestigation of a narcotic case in which she is the central figure. The beautiful screen star was re- vealed as a narcotic addict, explaining her recent strange actions which brought her into the lHmelight in sev- eral escapades that reached the courts. Thirty-one prescriptions for narcotics issued to the actress between Septem- ber 21 and October 17 last year, State narcotic agents said, were in the hands of the agents of the State Board of Medieal Examiners here. Board Accuses Physician. The narcotics were supplied to her in. violation of State laws, the office of the State Medical Board here charged, by Dr. L. Jesse Citron, prac- ticing physician of Beverley Hills. Agents of the board announced their intention of citing Dr. Citron to ap- pear before the board at San Francisco in July for revocation of license. Meanwhile reports of special inves- tigators have been submitted to the State Pharmacy Board at San Francisco and to the narcotic division of the In- ternal Revenue Bureau at Washington. Dr Citron did not make himself available to the press today, but last night told reporters that he did not know Miss Rubens was an addict “when I took her case, and when I learned that she was an addict I dropped the case.” He said that the prescriptions were forged. Reports by Los Angeles agents to the State medical board, however, set forth that Dr. Citron had admitted selling the narcotics to Miss Rubens. Miss Rubens is the wife of Ricardo Cortez, film actor, who is assisting his wife in her fight against the narcotic habi Others Doctors Accused. San Francisco, Calif, Feb. 16 (A.P.).— Frank H.

Because of the mag- nitude of the Moran shooting and coming as it did only a few weeks after a new State’s attorney had taken of- fice, hundreds of bootleggers and beer runners fied Chicago immediately. They saw the handwriting on the wall. Five of them who left town a few hours after- the massacre were arrested in Indianapolis, Ind., heavily armed and well fortified with cash. Those who stayed behind elected to remain in hiding until the present agitation blows over. Bu‘ for the first time in the history of Chicago “clean-ups” there were indi- cations that this is no ordinary anti- crime drive. Civic leaders and public Officials are aroused as never before, Demands for action and proposed rem- edies came from the city’s big busi- ness men and financiers, who feel that the city’s reputation is at stake and that business will suffer if the gangs are not stopped. State’s Attorney John A. Swanson, not only by his department but by the State board of medical examiners and | by the Federal narcotic division. “Early in our investigation, we con- cluded that because of a loophole in the State law we could not prosecute | those doctors who were supplying her,” said Benson. “The State law carries no penalty for fraudulent or irregular in- sincere prescription of narcotic drugs by physicians. ' “In view of these facts we turned all our information over to the ‘Federal narcotic agents and to the State medi- cal board. The State poison law whioh prohibits improper prescription of nar- cotics but fails to fix a penalty for violation of this provision, is to be ee at this session of the legis- “ture.” Report Received Here. (Associated Press.) Reports on the issuance of prescrip- tions for narcotics under the name of Dr. I. Jesse Citron, of Beverly Hills, Calif., have been received here by the Treasury, which is examining them to W. 8S. Blanchard, in charge of the narcotics division, said mo offer of a compromise of the case had been re- ceived here: He declined to make pub- lic the report. Conviction under the ranking officer in the county, gave or- ders to override Mayor “Big Bill” Thompson’s prohibition policy of “let- ting the little fellows alone” and sent police out to close every one of the “10,000 places” which were said to have remained open after the recent week- Swanson told enforcement officials that they would be indicted if any vio- lators were found in their districts after they had been given this chance to clean up. Police Commissioner William Russell called in all his captains and lieuten- ants to plan another series of week- end raids which were expected to start Sunday morning. Appeal Made to Citizens, Russell made an unusual appeal to the citizens of Chicago to forego their liquor in the ‘interests of “saving the city” and to report to police head- quarters all addresses of speak-easies or beer flats. “The cause of this curse on Chicago is liquor and the rich rewards that flow to the violators,” Russell said. “If the people of Chicago will stop drink- ing. the liquor racket will cease to pay big money and the hoodlums will cease to kill each other over liquor rights.” Russell said that the gambling and crime means that it is profitable to let crime survive.” One theory on which police are work- ing tonight was that the murder of John Clay, business agent of the laun- dry drivers union a week ago, was the motive behind the massacre. They were rounding up all westside gang- sters who might know something ahout the shooting of Clay, who wasgaid to have balked efforts of the “Mordn mob” to “muscle in” on the cleaners and dyers racket. Five Held in $50,000. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 16 (AP.)— Five men, alleged to be Chicago gang- sters, were held under bonds of $50,000 each today when they were bound over to the grand jury after a preliminary hearing in municipal court. Police have been investigating to determine if the men were implicated in the slaying of seven gangsters in Chicago last Thurse day. Inquiry has developed that one of the men is wanted in Chicago for par- ticipation in the holdup of a hotel there in January. This man has been identified as Arnold Greenbush. Earlier in the day another of the quintet was identified by photographs sent from Chicago as Frank Meyles, alleged to have violated his parole from the Illi- nois State Prison. The men were arrested here by offi- cers who were informed that they had taken part in a recent holdup. All of the men were carrying weapons, officers said. Although searched before being pho- tographed officers revealed today that while they were in the Bertillion room at police headquarters a revolver was found cleverly concealed beneath the clothing of one of the men.

HELD OF VITAL WORTH So long as funds are available for op- érating the aircraft carriers Lexington and Saratoga the Navy Department will keep them in active service unless Con- gress specifically directs that they be placed on a decommissioned status. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur yester- day made this statement in reply to questions concerning published reports that consideration is being given to the advisability of placing the two speedy catriers out of commission as a meas- ure of economy. : The Secretary added that the Navy considers the Lexington and Saratog9 of vita] importance to the national de- fense. He recalled that while he has always endeavored to give aviation a square deal in the Navy, nobody has dc- cused him of bubbling over with en- thusiasm for it. Each Costs $1,000,000 a Year. With a personnel, including aviators and aviation mechanics, of some 1,600 and with between five and six times the horse er of a modern battleship, Mr. Wilbur said, the operation of such @ vessel, of course, is expensive. The Navy was fully aware of this while the two ships were being converted from battle cruisers into aircraft carriérs. It was estimated «that the cost of opera- tion would run around $1,000,000 a year for each of the carriers. He could not say whether this had been found too low, but doubts it is being exceeded very much. Secretary Wilbur pointed out that normally the two carriers cruise at eco- nomical speed, not at their maximum of better than 34 knots an hour. When developing their full horsepower, of course, they consume an enormous amount of fuel. He indicated that air defense is of first im , Dut, as demonstrated by the operation of these vessels, is not cheap. It was pointed out that pay of the large personnel on each of these vessels covers the bulk of the expense of oO tion, and that so long as these officers and men are retained in the Navy their pay would go on regardless of whether they served on an aircraft carrier or on other vessels, Handle Twice as Many Planes. In actual operation, Mr. Wilbur said, | it has been found that the aircraft carriers can handle almost twice as many planes as had been ¢ . By that he means that the facilities for getting planes from below to the flying deck and thence into the air are working so satisfactorily as to far ex- ceed the anticipated results in actual service. On this score, therefore, the Navy is more than pleased with the per- formance of the Lexington and Sarato- a following their recent participation n the war game off the Pacific en- trance to the Panama Canal. Air enthusiasts in both the Army and Navy take the position that if Naval vessels must be decommissioned in order to cut down operating costs it would be much better to eliminate from active service some of the older fighting ships than to take the only carriers worthy of the name the Navy has ever had and retire them because of the expe argue that the Lexin mark a very decided advance in na- tional defense and should be kept in active service at least until especially designed carriers are built. to replace them. Detective’s Wife, Suicide, Is Buried Deputy Sheriff Held in Jail, Despite Woman’s Note Admitting Murder. Willimantic, Conn,, Feb. 16 (A.P.).— Mrs. Gertrude Jackson, who took her life Wednesday, leaving a written con- fession of having slain her husband, County Detective Willlam E. Jackson, was buried by his side in the family lot today. Funeral services were held in the Jackson home, in which husband and wife had tragically died. A small group of friends followed the body to the cemetery. Under a tent spread over the lot the Rev. Walter Dochert. of Providence, R. I., long a friend of the Jacksons, read the committal service. Trenor A. Rice, deputy sheriff, who had been a member of the household for a time and who is under indict- ment for first-degree murder because of Jackson’s death, will remain in Brooklyn Jail, in all probability until he is called for trial in April. The fact that Mrs. Jackson, in a note addressed to William A. King, of his counsel, had exonerated Rice, may make no difference in his status, Chief In- vestigator Edward J. Hickey having said that Mrs. Jackson, in spite of what she had written, had given evidence before the grand jury and before the coroner which directly connected Rice | LL LALLA ALL LLL, 1319-1321 F Strest ES er4 ra, x : yy ** - 2 D.

Influences of Moon Over Moving Oceanic Waters Traced. Influence of the moon on the tides has led a Washington scientist to ad- vance the suggestion that nations can exercise an important stabilizing influ- ence over weather of the world by regu- lat he flow of ice from the Ant- barrier and from the Eastern into the North Atlantic. After several years’ study of forecast- ing weather from long range, Herbert Janvrin Browne declares that modern engineering can, at the expenditure of less than the cost of a battleship, dis- lodge a quantity of Ant&rctic and Arctic ice sufficient to affect weather and precipitation of Northern and Cen- “The possibilities of beneficial and balancing influences on the climate of. the southerly extensions of.

They include not only the prevention of droughts of the more serious order but the modification of excessive and de- structive rains.” Ancient and Deep-Seated. Scientists and the meteorologists are at’a difference of opinion on the moon’s relationship to the weather, despite, ac- cording to Browne, that “there is no more ancient and deep-seated convic- tion still holding in the minds and be- liefs of the world than that the moon exercises such an influence, “Even today millions of farmers the world over attribute storms and other weather changes to phases of the moon, and sailors look to the moon for guid- ance and for its influence on the seas, apart from tts recognized control over the tides. , ) “The moon in its 186 year eat ‘around the ecliptic drags surface waters of the oceans westward and thereby ex- ercises a large and widely varying con- trol in distribution and massing of warm and cold waters, influencing in an important manner sequent weather of the world. “The prodigious but irregular flow of ice from the Antarctic barrier is a ma- jor cause of droughts in Argentina and Uruguay, in South Africa and. Austra- lia, and in part of that failure of the southwest monsoon rains which result in crop failures and famines in India. The tremendous loss of life in India from starvation and of crops and live stock in the three southern continents has run into incalculable millions of lives and’ thousands of millions of doi- lars in property. “Modern engineering can, at the ex- Capital Scientist States Soe SOE, SET ETS RIN a a a oo Ee Beate oe SS Saas ® HERBERT JANVRIN BROWNE, ocean meteorologist and long-range weather forecaster, who believes that man can exercise an influence on the weather. penditure of less than the cost of a battleship a year, dislodge floating bar- rier ice from the Antarctic continent at such times and in such quantities as will set it moving into Antarctic winds and currents in those years in which solar radiation will cause its melting and the distribution of its energies with beneficial instead ef injurious re- sults, which spring from its concen- trated and untimely appearance. “Similarly, a fleet of ice breakers, tike the Russian Krassin and Yermak—not over 20—can break loose and move out of the Arctic. in a single year any re- quired amount of field ice from 1 to 6,000 square miles in extent, and ‘aver- aging from 6 to @ feet in thickness, the melting of which will be easily disposed temperature of the Gulf Stream and Gulf Stream Drift, with decided bene- fit to weather and precipitation of Northern and Central Europe, at an ex- pense less than that of maintaining a similar fleet of battleships, and with far greater influence toward peace and harmony of the world.” Attack a World Problem. Browne describes “the attack on Arctic ice” as a world problem. “It will require the intengive study of an international commission of the world's leading ooeanographers, meteorologists and en- gineers to determine not only the prac- ticability of thees propositions, but the time, place and extent of engineermg and marine operations involved.” A new field of activity is suggested by Browne's description of the ceaseless operation of Arctic kee on weather con- ditions. “The temperature of Arctic ice,” he pomts out, “averages several degrees below the freezing point of fresh water. Salt water requires a eritical tempera- ture of 29 degrees to freeze. The melt- ing of 1,000 square miles of pack ice with an average thickness of 8 feet will lower the temperature of 7,000 square Milles of surface water of equal depth from a temperature of 50 degrees to a temperature of aproximately 32. Could Anticipate Weather. “It is evxient that; with a small fiow of ice and a widely sxpanded high tem- perature area of the Gulf, Stream drift from Iceland north to Spitebergen and eastward around Scandinavia a hot summer with marked drought could be anticipated in northern Europe. “Could the ice drive be raised to 6.000 square miles by the operation of a fleet of «we breakers, the warm water area could be sO measurably reduced a3 to keep the temperature af northern Europe at a normal figure, anc, barring extremely high solar radiation, main- tain its rainfall equilibrium. It hardly needs an argument to sustain tbe thought that if by artificial means ea large amount of ice could be forced into the East Greenland current and south to its dissolution, the following year would be relieved of danger of an excessive ice flow, which might bring on a cold, wet summer destructive of European har- vests.” — BLANTON MAY BECOME STAR BURLINGAME CASE WITNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. her property from her and threatened her.

Asked to hazard a guess as to the specific date on which the trial will be begun, however, the corporation counsel declared it was impossible for hinf-to do so under the circumstances. “The question of the adjournment of Congress does not enter into the equation in the slightest,” he declared.

On the other hand Burlingame may testify freely and then, if the matter is brought up in the courts later, plead to be excused on the ground of double jeopardy. Whether he would be able to make such a plea stick is another question. City Heads Gelng Siow. While Bride yesterday was seeking to ‘emphasize to the public that every reasonable effort was being made to push the case to an early conclusion, the District Commissioners were con- cerned with other matters. Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty, president of the Board of Commission- ers, who has immediate supervision of the Police Department, said nothing had been done about selecting the board which is to try Burlingame. Un- er the recommendation made by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of po- lice, amd approved by the Commission- ers in board meeting, a special) trial board, composed of others than police } Officials, is to try Burlingame. It has been suggested that a board of prom- inent citizens be appointed. | No decision on this point has been reached or even considered by the Commissioners, Dougherty told re- porters. He added that there was plenty of time for the Commissioners to do that after the charges had been filed. While there are evidences that the whole police situation and the Bur- lingame case tn particular will be the subject of more debate in Congress. there were no developments on the Hill yesterday. Gibson, "ll, Action Waits. The House and Senate conferees on the District appropriations bill met, but they did not reach that section which conteins the Senate amendment, proposed by Senator Caraway, of Arkansas, cutting off Burlingame’s Salary until he has been vindicated of the charges pending against him.

SYNOPSIS. a young (CHAPTER VII (Continued). es S HE was quite right.” “Yes; only it’s true. And they do get into all sorts of rows and muddles about the people they pick up—” At this moment Boyne, hearing a shuffle on the gravel, looked around and saw the maid approaching with a card. The maid glanved doubtfully at the two, and finally handed the card to Boyne, as the person most likely to rep- resent law and order in the efferves- eent party to which he seemed to be- long. It was a very large and stiff piece of wpaste-board, bearing the name: Marchioness of Wrench, and under- neath, in a sprawling untaught hand: “To see my daughter Zinnie Wheater,” the “my” being scratched out and “her” substituted for it. Boyne, after staring at this document perplexedly, passed it on to Judith, who sprang up with an astonished exclamation. “Why, it must be Zinnia Lacrosse! Why, she’s married again! It’s true, then, what Blanca saw in the papers. ..” She looked inquiringly at Boyne. “Do you suppose she’s really here?” “Of course I’m here!” cried a sharp gay voice from the doorway; and through the unkempt shrubbery an » =) 75 full bolt« tin stanning patterns, avaiinhle in this value-giving offer, 150 fall pieces to choose from at this very special price. ~in plain and blocked de- signs.

When there are seven children, and a lot of parents, there’s always somebocy fighting about some- thing. But Zinnia’s nothing like as bad as she looks.” She paused a moment, and then, irrepressibly.'as if to rid her heart of an intolerable weight: “But Blanca got away with my present. Did you see that? I knew shé would! That’s what she came down for—to wangle it out of Zinnia. Pretending she thought that old Callot model was one of Anastase’s! There’s nothing mean enough for Blanca!” Her eyes had filled with large childish tears, and one of them rolled down her cheek be- fore she had time to throw back her head and add proudly: “Not that I care a straw, of course. I'm too grown up to mind about such rubBish. But I know Blanca must have noticed my *‘nitials on the box. Didn't you see how quick she was about hiding it?” CHAPTER IX. The next day, during the journey through the hot Veneto and up into the mountains, the Wheater children and their problems were still so present to Boyne that he was hardly conscious of where he was going, or why. His last hours with his friends had ended on a note of happiness and se- curity. The new yacht, filed and ani- mated by that troop of trrepressible children, whom it took all Miss Scope’s energy and ubiquity to keep from fall- ing overboard or clambering to the mast-head, seemed suddenly to have acquired a reason for existing. Cliffe Wheater, in his speckless yachting cap and blue serge, moved about among his family like a beneficent giant, and Mrs. Wheater, looking younger than ever in her white yachting skirt and jersev, with her golden thatch tossed by the breeze, fell into the prettiest maternal poses as her own progeny and the “steps” scrambled over her in the course of a rough-and-tumble game organized by Boyne and the young tutor. The excursion had not begun auspl- clously. Before the start from the pension, Bun and Beechy, imprisoned above stairs during Lady Wrench’s ir- ruption, had managed to inflict con- dign punishment on Zinnie for not . i F $199 Art Moderne Bedroom Suite Matched walnut fronts, dust- ~ 1 5 9 if as ; sia t eee proof construction dresser with stationary mirror, chest, French vanity, straight-end bed. re e (ROL me * a a o - > - Sie ” a ~- me ae oe we i Seid ii A fo | a ee $12.50 Boudoir Chair $77 95 Upholstered in assorted Cre. tonnes of pleasing designs and cheerful color effects.

Terry's indifference to the whole affair pro- duced no effect on the irascible Italians; and as Zinnie, when roused, was a fighter, and now had a gold necklace with real pearls to defend, all Judith’s influence, and some cuffing into the bargain, were needed to reduge the trio to order; after which Boyne had to plead that they should not be deprived of their holiday. But once on the deck of the “Fancy Girl” all disagreements were forgotten.

New York, Feb. 16.—In New York's | MIE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1929. Throngs Waited on Dock| © Ses Sn ; rf Ba | “> | | Se } 2 4 age of innocence, thousands of men, ° and women waited on a dock one chilly October morning in 1882 to witness the errival in America of Lily Langtry, famous beauty and actress, and favor- ite of Edward, Prince of Wales. She proved to be no less, and so much more, then they expected, that wild demon- strations then began which lasted in the city for several days, broken only by proper intervals in which her weary admirers fell to sleep, to dream of the famous English woman who at 30 had already behind her a dozen years of triumph. Quite as important although more quiet was the landing some years earlie? near the Isle of Jersey of a yacht bearing among others Edward Langtry, @ young Irishman, just out of college, one of a party that had been close to shipwreck. Ashore, Langtry met and fell in love with Emilie Charlotte Le Breton, daughter of the dean of the island, and soon married her. They set out for London, which seemed to the bride quite proper for once Lord Suf- field at a picnic in Jersey had said to the dean's daughter, “You are very beautiful, you know, and should have a season in London.” With this hope young Mrs. Langtry had provided her- self with an evening dress, a simple black affair, the usual choice of women who have but one, and in it, at her first party, she made friends and con- quests that shortly led one from an- other to the Prince of Wales. Opinion Not Unanimous. New York had read of Mrs. Langtry’s London seasons, of Edward naming her the “Jersey Lily.” of great artiste— Millais, Whistler, Burne-Jones and Watts—painting her, of the mutual ad- miration between the “Lily” and Glad- stone, of Beaconsfield’s devotion—and it was likewise prepared to worship. Shops displayed “Langtry toques,” tiny turbans of black velvet to be worn rak- ishly. Hairdressers advised dressing the locks a la Langtry, a great twisted knob low on the neck with curled gangs on the forehead. There was the “Langtry basque,” a tight bodice fastened up the front with two rows of military buttons. Opinion on the Langtry was not unanimous. A few patriots stoutly in- sisted that Mary Anderson, the Ameri- can actress, was far lovelier. Critics hinted that she might not turn out to be a great actress. Social leaders were silent. Preparations went’ on for the Langtry opening in “The Unequal Match” under Henry Abbey’s manage- ment at the old Park Theater: But a few hours before the performance the playhouse caught fire. David Belasco, witness to Lily Langtry’s determination to appear somewhere in spite of the shock, told the statuesque beauty that she was indeed a brave little woman. Wallack’s Theater was engaged and the opening scheduled for a week later. Abbey, her manager, in appreciation of the high social standing of the Lang- try’s friends in England, said gallery seats Would not be’sold, but after a few weeks of public protest he was forced to let in the impecunious gods. On the opening night, there was a dashing young man present, Fred Geb- hard, who had made a bet that he would meet the Lily and forthwith win her affections. His success may be Associated Press Photo. LILY LANGTRY, internationally known actress, who died last week at Monte Carlo. judged by the fact that he immediately bought for Mrs. Langtry the double house at 361-3 West Twenty-third street, then a fashionable district, now vaguely remembered as the London Terraces. Three-Year Liquor Bill $200,000. White marble mantels and bathtubs were ordered, and rows of great cedar closets built in to protect the famous Langtry wardrobe. For her horses and coaches—Langtry..had owned’ her own racing stable abroad—Gebhard built accommodations to the rear with liv- ing quarters for the coachman, going through to Twenty-fourth street an alley was laid out 55 feet long and 8 feet wide. Tall iron fences were placed around the deep lawn before the house. Visitors to the vicinity came in the hope of seeing Lily Langtry step out of her carriage, or to set off, magnificently gowned, for some function, were dis- appointed at the daytime quiet that enveloped the old mansion. Curtains were drawn. It seemed as gloomy as the House of Usher. Late at night, however, after the theater. Langtry and Gebhard entertained. In the three years that the Jersey Lily isived there, Gebhard is said to have spent $200,000 on liquor. After a quarrel, when Langtry left him and returned to Eng- land, Gebhard sold the furnishings at auction and abandoned the place. Not Spoiled by Adulation. The dwelling, before the Langtry tenantcy, had been the property of Clement C. Moore, Episcopal Bishop and author of “The Night’ Before Christmas.” Along with other prop- erty, the house had been given to him for services to his diocese. Moore had leased the Twenty-third street house to Edward: Fox, who combined them into one spacious mansion. After the actress left, the next tenant turned it into a rooming house and later a mys- tic society moved in. Some relief both in professional and social circles was felt upon Langtry’s departure. Jealousy of her had pene- trated both groups. Christine Nilsson, the opera singer, would not meet Lang- try; Many engagements had been made by mutual friends but the singer broke New York’s Adoration of Lily Langtry _ Failed to Spoil Famous English Beauty Fred Gebhard in 3 Years Expended $200,000 on Liquor for Actress. them all on the fiimsiest excuses. One important date was refused because Nilsson said she was too ill to jeave her bed, yet that day friends of the Lily saw the singer lunching with August Belmont. People would not go to hear Adelina Patti at the Academy of Music if they could possibly get seats to see Lily Langtry. Salvini, the great tra- gedian, was in despair. None of New York’s adulation could spoil the Lily, for in her early London days she had found the compliments of Wilde and Whistler somewhat of a bore. The playwright compared her to the Trojan Helen and wrote “Lady Windermeres Fan" expressly for her. When Wilde was in America he re- marked that “Langtry who photo- graphed with Niagara Falls as an un- pretentious background” and wept when he learned she had left no seat for him at one of her openings. King Leopold of Belgium and Prince Rudolph of Hapsburg had been persistent callers at the Lily’s London house. And in the days when the Edward Langtrys lived in Norfolk and their door was beseiged by creditors as well as admir- ers the famous beauty’s decision to go }upon the stage to make a fortune brought her to the attention of Bern- hardt, Coquelin, Irving and Terry, who at once proclaimed her one of them. Despite her own earnings there. had been admirers who squandered for- tunes upon her, the young Earl of Rosslyn for one, who neglected his young wife and spent most of the time with the “Lily” about her racing stable in which he and the actress were partners. Two Famous Anecdotes, If Langtry had only been unmar- ried her friends said she could have become a duchess. Edward Langtry, her husband, began to fade out of the picture which his wife had created. She managed to divorce him in Cali- fornia in 1897, made him a liberal al- lowance and two years after surprised every one by marrying Hugo de Bathe, twenty years her junior, son and heir of Gen. Sir Henry Percival de Bathe, of an old family conspicuous in Irish history, that had been given great grants of land for valor. During the war fever of 1899, Lily Langtry took the opportunity to rein- state herself in London society, gave benefits and aided bazaars. Her hus- band sailed for Cape Town. In 1900 the Jersey Lily was again in New York. The period of the “straight front” had arrived. Shoe tops were not yet being shown. The great ladies of the town were inclined to snub the Lily, but in spite of them she planned a tea-concert at Sherry’s for the benefit of the hospital ship Maine equipped for service in South African waters. Two stories peraistently cling to the name of Lily Langtry. The better known tale, which she always deniec. was that once she slipped a bit of ice cown the royal neck of Edward, Prince of Wales, which causea him to become cool toward her, although still] a friend. The other gives a conversation between Edward and the “Lily” upon the oc- casion of his royal mother’s indisposi- tion. “How’s your mother?” Mrs. Langt.7 asked. “Her Majesty the Queen 's better,” replied Edward.

Dr. Wilbur C. WALTER LIGGETT 3 TRIAL TO GO AHEAD lil Juror Recovering From In- fluenza, May Return to Box Tomorrow. CASE BEGINS-SIXTH WEEK Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 16 (U.P.).— The trial of Walter L. Liggett, charged with the murder of Turner M. Cun- mingham, Andrew Jeckson Hote] man- ager, will be resurned Monday morn- ing for its sixth week, if the condition of J. B. Luster, 72-year-oM juror, who has been ill with influenza, will permit. County health physicians attending the juror said tonight that the condi- tion of Luster was improving and in all probability he would be able to take his.eeat in the jury: box Monday morn- ing. It is expected that Tuesday will see the beginning of the end of the case. Most of the evidence is in, with only the rebuttal testimony of the State to be given. The argument will be short-- ened, according to Judge Chester K. Hart. The jury will probably get the case Tuesday. Liggett has entered a plea of self- defense and introduced an alleged eye- witness in the shooting, John (Jack) Quinn, itinerant boiler maker, who claimed he saw the first. shot fired at the defendant. He was arrested for perjury following his testimony and the grand jury returned an indictment against him. He is now out on bond, Signed by C. L. Liggett, father of the defendant. and his case has been set for March 13. BUY ADMITS KILLING QUITOR OF MOTHER ¢ Saw Her Letter, He Tells Court; Feared Home Would Be Broken Up. SHOT MAN FROM AMBUSH Elcentro, Calif., Feb. 16 (A.P.).—A mother’s story of a clandestine romance with an Imperial Valley rancher, which led to his slaying by her son, Martin Ray Kilgore, on the plea of “the un- written law,” was related from the wit- ness stand here today in the unfver-, sity’s student’s trial for murder. Mrs May Kilgore, her voice barely audible at times, as her emotions overwhelmed her, told of the love letter she wrote to F. A. Bartley which fell into her son’s bands while he was visiting his parents on a hoiiday vacation from his classes a> Stanford University. Kilgore confessed to shooting Bartley from ambush near here last December 23, claiming the ramcher was attempt- ing to break up his parents’ home. The love letter, Mrs. Kilgore testified, had been addressed to a néighbor of Bartley, for secret delivery to the rancher. The mother told of its yveturn to her in another envelope with a re- fusal to deliver the missive. Mrs. Kilgore said her son, who ‘as with her at the time, offered to open the letter and read it to her because of | her failing eyesight. She told the jury that she had not suspected that the letter was the one she had mailed to Bartiley’s neighbor and that when her son saw it she warned him t'.at Bartley bad told her he would kill her husband and son if they “found out.” The mother also testified that Bart- ley planned to elope with her to Mexico iz “relatives interfered.” CITIZEN FEDERATION TURNS ON FIREMEN: RAPS OFFICIALS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. ria apparatus,” Jenney declared. He | derided the efficacy of the apparatus | from nearby Virginia and Maryland | towns whiclt moved into the outlying | sections to give protection there. The federation, on motion of Harry N. Stull, did draw one of the teeth | from the Jenney report. Stull moved | to strikeout a proposal, made by Jenny, | ithat the fire chief be prohibited from | sounding more than four alarms for a | fire until after a “consultaiton between | the chief engineer and the deputy chief in charge.” Stull Draws One Tooth. “That is rather a startling provision to. write into law,” Stull declared, “We | can not tie the chief’s hands. He is | responsible. He can not pass the buck | and we can’t compel him to act on the | advice of a subordinate.” Clarence A. Miller declared the pro- | posal was “obsolutely ridiculous.” Gelbman then joined the attack on. Chief Watson because fire apparatus was called from the outlying sections | of the city to fight the downtown fire, ridiculing the calling on other cities | for help, saying, “We cried wolf, and | when we really need help we may not get it.” “When the fire chief arrived on scene the deputy chief in charge told him that the fire was under control, thing,” Gelbman cried. Both Gelbman and Jenney fought against striking out the _ restrictive clause. Gelbman cited the application made by Chief Watson several although he said that retirement appli- sioners’ pigeonhole for months only greater pension.” Admits His Former Praise. Dr. A. A. Chenay asked Jenney whether or not he had supported the resolution of commendation adopted at the last Federation meeting. Jenney admitted that he had, but excused himself on the ground that “I had this report in mind all the time.” Several delegates were on their feet, firing questions, and Jenney responded that if “I was perfectly honest, I would demand the resignation of the chief engineer.” Stull demanded a vote on his motion to strike out the restriction on the au- thority of the chief to sound addi- tional alarms, and it was carried, 27 to 15. A. H. Gregory then asked Jenney if it were not true that specifications for fire apparatus were drawn in a man- ner to exclude’ from bidding all but the apparatus desired by Fire Department officials. Jenney sought to evade, but there were challenging demands that he answer yes or no, and he said “Yes.” Then he and Gelbman parted com- pany in the fight, for a moment, at Gelbman is a clerk in the Dis- including specifica- tions, and he sought to gain the floor / committee, and his word ought to count for some- | cation “has been lying in the Commis- | ful bidder and had “shown them how I could save them $300, but was told my bid din't meet specifications on a mere little detail.” The vote was put and the report adopted without a record vote and with- out a dissenting voice. The report, which Jenney asked per- mission to rephrase later, said the chief engineer should seek authority to dispose of present reserve apparatus, and use the money to buy eight new hose wagons, eight pumper engines and three aerial trucks with 85-foot ex- tension ladders; that there should be “more frequent” inspection of apart- ment houses and other large buildings, ‘and that building regulations should ibe amended to require dumb-waiters 'and shafts in buildings. which go to | the roof, to be extended beyond the roof and covered with glass. Controversy Over Merger. The denunciation of Chief Watson for calling apparatus from the outly- |ing sections downtown to fight the Dulin & Martin fire came toward the 'end of a meeting that had begun with a battle over the street car merger in the course of which William McK Clayton, veteran leader of the utilities threw down the gauntlet to his opponents and demanded that they adopt a report from his commit- tee as he submitted it or he would | resign from the utilities committee. the | The report “ ndorsed merger legisla- tion in principle” but urged that the merger plan approved by Congress pro- vide for inclusion of the Washington Rapid Transit bus company with the | street railways in the merger; free transfers between street cars and buses: ‘half fare for children attending the years | ago for retirement, because of il) health, | public schools. Fund Limitation Urged. It also urged the merged new com- /pany be given a charter by Congress waiting for passage of the salary in- | crease bill so that he can retire on a | rather than/be permitted to incorporate under the District code; that the stocks and bonds of the merged company be not permitted to exceed .e bonds and stock outstanding of the old com- panies; that the stock of the Capital Traction Co. be immediately canceled when it is turned into the new com- pany for stock in it; anc that the $87,- 000, depreciation reserves which have been accumulated by existing com- panies be turned over to the new com- pany under the same limitations now applying to its use. James G. Yaden immediately pro- d an amendment declaring that should “either the Senate or the House prove unwilling to accept any or all of the proposed amendments we urge en- actment of merger legislation as re- ported by the Senate and House District committees.” Clayton Has Controversy. Clayton apparently was fearful of his hold on the situation with the entire pro-company merger group lined up against him, including members of his own committee who were actually un- sympathetic with his efforts to force inclusion of the safeguards he propos- ed in the merger bill, moved the whole matter be referred back to his commit- tee. Clayton Emig, member of the utili- ties committee and\ bitter enemy of Ciayton then threw bombshell into the meeting by. declaring that “I did not vote for that report as read here tonight.” | Clayton then called on Frank Van Sant, vice chairman, to back up his minutes of the committee meeting which approved the Clayton amend- ments. H. W. Lynn took occasion to say that half-fares for school children were “nonsensical” and that very few children rode to school on street cars WASHINGTON POST: GAN TO GET PLAC IN INAUGURAL RANK Brother-in-Law of Curtis to Ride in Parade, Is De- cision of Arbiter. PRECEDENT QUESTIONED New York, Feb. 16-—A Washington dispatch to the New York World says: Authorities in diplomatic precedence and the social rules that must prevail in the Capital City have finally passed on the place which Edward Gann, hus- band of the sister of the Vice President- elect, will have in the inaugural pro- cession. Mr. Gann has been given a ticket which will enable him to ride some- where in the procession. Mrs. Gann will ride with her brother, Vice Presi- dent-elect Charles Curtis. This decision follows days of anxious consultation among the experts on what to do—first as to placing Mrs. Gann, and more especially of placing Mr. Gann. The decision follows a previous flurry when Mrs, Gann sought the office of president of the Ladies of the Senate. The decision gave the place to Mrs. Moses, wife of the senator from New Hampshire. The new trouble arose out of the Dawes participate in the triumphal procession up and down Pennsylvania avenue. Mrs. Gann’s request for a place in the procession might have been con- ciliated by overlooking the fact that only the wives of presidents and vice presidents were to be included, but in Washington, at least, wives do not move socially without their husbands. It was argued for one group, that Mr. Gann’s relationship to Mrs. Gann justified a conspicuous place. Still others urged establishment of this precedent might add to further soulstirring embarrassments at State functions, diplomatic affairs and other social occasions. For the peace of the hosts and hostesses of Washington, it was held the status of Mr. Gann must be established in the light of the fact Mrs. Gann is to be the official hostess of the Vice President. fact that it has been decided to have |; Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. || SUNDAY, DANONE " ee: * ’ Pp.’ // ie 4, Y A % “ 3% ‘sh , ** The argument has been the chief }|: topic of conversation for the past week in all of Washington's affairs of tea.

Huffington, a former grand dragon of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan, was arrested here today on an indict- ment returned by the Federal grand jury at Indianapolis yesterday charging him with conspiracy to violate the na- tional motor vehicle theft act. The grand jury has been investigat- ing the disposal in Indianapolis of a number of expensive automobiles stolen in Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. Sev- eral prominent Indianapolis business men who are alleged to have purchased cars which they knew were stolen were sentenced recently to Leavenworth Penitentiary. Huffington’s name was mentioned in: testimony during the trial of these men. Huffington was re- leased on $25,000 bond. Mrs. Carraway Named Arkansas Society Head Mrs. T. H. Carraway was elected president of the Arkanesa State So- elety at a meeting held Friday evening at the Lafayette Hotel. Some 200 Ar- kansans, including many prominent in the State and nationally, attended the meeting. ° Judge E. A. McCulloch, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, elected vice president; Frank Milwee, jr., secretary; William G. Hamilton, as- sistant secretary, and Jack Rhyne treasurer. An advisory committee was appointed, consisting of Representa- tives W. J. Driver, Otis Wingo and Hartsil] Ragon; Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Edgar B. Merritt. Harold R.

Police Capture Two Men When an automobile fleeing from | police pursuit yesterday morning |crashed into a tree at Thirtenth and | Harvard streets northwest, several bot- | tles of alleged whisky broke and its two occupants fled the scene. | Shortly afterward, the pursuing po- |liceman, W. S. Buchanan, of the Tenth | Precinct, arrested John William Mar- ‘land, 21 years old, of 930 Twenty-sixth 'street northwest, and Sampto Samuel | Jumbo, 25 years old, of 2513 K street northwest. They are being held at No. 10 in connection with the investi- gation of the crash and the alleged transportation of whisky. Police said they found 408 bottles of whisky in. the automobile. anyway, and if half-fares were given them more would ride and add to the morning congestion. Bars His Personal Views. Charles I. Stengle sought to have Clayton express his personal views but Clayton refused, saying he was report- ing a committee action as its chair- man. There was a conference in the back of the hall between pro-company lead- \ers, including Van Sant, Stengle, George R. Wales, Joseph L. Gammell, and Stull and Hugh F. Frampton, and there was a determined effort to get an indorse- ment of the merger without the amend- ments. Miss Edna Sheehy asked what the people were getting out of the proposed merger, and Clayton replied he could say “a mouthful.” Lynn moved to lay the report on the table, but this was lost and the report adopted. On motion of Yaden the federation disapproved legislation limiting priority rights to 25 per cent of the graduates of the District normal schools; indorsed the Simmons 810,000,000 five-year school building bill, and approved a report from E. B. Henderson, recom- mending that 100 feet on each side of Massachusetts avenue from Nebraska avenue to Western avenue be zoned A restricted; and instructed the utilities committee to ask the Interstate Com- merce Commission to compel express companies to deliver packages in the District free of extra delivery charges.

’ ‘ ? ~ M GURB OW OL OUTPUT DECLARED NEEDFUL Steady Increase in Oklahoma Brings Drastic Slash in Prices. SMALL WELLS HARD HIT Oklahoma City, Okla. Feb. 16 (U.P.). Six consecutive weeks gt increases in crude oil production of the United States have brought the oi] industry face to face with the necessity of quickly curtailing production. The crude market has tumbled once in the past few weeks, amounting to about 30 cents a barrel on Midcontinent high gravity oil. More reductions are threat- efed unless the flood of high gravity crude is stopped. In Oklahoma the blame for this over- production has been centered in the Greater Seminole Field where the aver- age is in excess of 412,000 barrels, The total production of all Oklahoma fields is around 728,000 barrels. Operators now are working under a plan whereby the production of the State will be reduced to 650,000 barrels dally. The actual loss to producers of the State when the crude prices were Slashed recently was $218,400 a day Many small producers and leaseholders were caught in the fall of prices and forced to sell out. Producers with wells making only a few barrels a day—and the backbone of the oil industry is the small, steady producing well—could not produce oil at the prices. The American Petroleum Institute directors recently approved an idea of Federal and State laws to conserve cruce oil supplies and regulate their production. Their recommendations now are in the hands of the Federal Trade Commission. A direct result of this meeting is seen in the action of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission yesterday in ordering the Mission pool of the Greater Seminola opened to pro- duction on the pro-rata plan now in effect in other pools of the district. Drilling was started in 20 wells in the Mission area today. These wells, together with about 40 others that will be completed in a few weeks, must be @rtailed by perhaps 36 per cent if the plan agreed upon by operators is upheld. Fliers Believed Planning “Southern Atlantic Flight Marseille, France, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—The French aviator, Challes, accompanied by the Uruguayan colonel, Tadeo Larre- Borges, arrived here today after a flight from Paris made in 3 hours and 31 minutes. Mystery surrounds their per but it is believed they are about ettempt a flight to South America. In the spring of 1927 Larre-Borges, then a major, attempted a flight to South America by way of Africa. While fiying from Morocco.it was several days before he and his companions were ransomed from the Moorish tribesmen, who had captured them efter stoppage of an oil pump had forced them down.

Christie. president of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board today ac- cepted full responsibility for an agree- ment whereby Clinton S. Carnes re- ceived a five-year prison term for em- bezzglement of board funds and de- plored .what he termed a “wicked whispering campaign.” In a memorandum addressed to the Georgia members of the Home Mission Board and the executive committee o the Southern Baptist Convention Dr. Christie declared that “constant count- less difficulties” surrounded efforts to convict the former treasurer of the board whose accounts were more than $900,000 short Ly audit. “Frequently heard suggestion” Dr Christie began as a preface to his ex- planation, “that the final disposition of the case was allowed to shield others who may have been involved with Carnes, in a most ungracious and un- warranted insinuation. The persistency with which this has gone on has been a wicked whispering campaign. almost unparalleled in our denomination. “Board Lacks Corroboration.” “There is no man connected with the board-in any capacity who holds any such suspicion, or who knows any facts to warrant such an insinuation. We have heard of much irresponsible gossip, involving some of the most use- ful men fn this community, but care- ful investigation has failed to disclose any slightest connection between the and the operations of the criminal in “We gave the firm of Ernst-& Ernst, which was employed to make the inves- tigation, urgent instructions to dig into every angle of the case, and to spare nobody in making their examina- tion thoroughgoing. After five months of intensive work, they report that they have never been able to discover the slightest evidence that any one was involved in any of these transactions other than Clinton 8. Carnes. “That many of these men who have done their best to serve faithfully the denomination through the years, made the mistake of misplacing confidence in this criminal and of giving to him too extensive authority is‘a fact which everybody recognizes, and which these men were the very first to admit and deplore. Hits Whispering Campaign. “To use this, however, as an occasion for carrying on a whispering campaign, which is susceptible of almost any sort of interpretation from boneheadedness to criminality, is a most inexcusable sort of performance and if such propa- ganda should continue, after the clear and atthoritative statements of the board amd the auditors and the inves- tigators,.it seems to me that such per- sistence is deliberately mischievous and malicious.” Dr. Christie then outlined his diffi- culties, . beginning with a recital of negotiations between Carnes and 6So- licitor General John A. Boykin, where- by Carnes would receive a term of five years without parole privileges, and acquisition by the board of the Carnes estate of some $250,000 without con- test. “T should be glad in this connec~ tion,” he gaid, “to rélieve all the other members of the board of the slightest responsibility for any concurrence in the advice of our special cousel * ° ° I should miuch prefer having the re- sponsibility myseif. Investigation Was Costly. Declaring that the board had spent $7,500, exclusive of attorneys’ fees and incidentals, to investigate the Carnes case, Dr. Christie asserted: “So skillfully had the criminal done his work that the assembling of evi- dence necessary for the conviction was a baffling problem. * * °* Asamat- ter of fact, we were going to trial with one very good case involving the theft of $20,000, among 20 indictments against Carnes. We had one or two other. cases, nothing like so strong. Arthur G. -Powell,. special counsel, was not confident about the first one. No- body was about the others. “To have lost the first one, or to have lost either of the others would have im- periled our claim to the $250,000 estate of Carnes we had tied up in receiver- ship. * * * To add confusion, reso- lutions of the board, running back through the years virtually giving kim (Carnes) power of attorney, were mock- ing our attorneys at almost every turn of the case. ' Situation Almost Helpless. “Between Carnes’ cleverness, on the one hand, and those ruinous resolu- tions on the other, our situation was almost helpless. * * * The only possible difference in the penalty, if we had gone to trial and gotten all we could reasonably hope for, was a mat- ter of a few month. * * * For me to have insisted on proceeding to trial in the light of (these) reports, would not only have been stubborn, it would have been stupid.” With the statement, Dr. Christie gave the board executives the reports of in- vestigators ard counsel, which have been previously published. His state- ment today climaxed recent charges that irregularities attended the plea of Carnes. The last of these, from Dr. J. Powell Tucker, of Raleigh, N. C., drew a letter from Dr. Christie today, .invit- re Se North Carolinian to come to A ta. Takoma Park Rector Will Arrive March 16 The Rev. J. Manly Cobb, of Biacks- burg, Va., will succeed the Rev.

KING IS TAKING HAND Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—Word that the five-year dictatorship of Gen. Primo de Rivera soon may end was received here today ‘| from both court quarters of Madrid and persons close to the premier. Primo de Rivera and his government showed strength in repressing the re- cent armed revolt of sections of the Spanish army, but signs indicate that the premier may bow to a growing peaceful demand that Spain be restored to a constitutional government. The advices received today said that the exact date of the change is not known. as yet, but that it is believed to be imminent. Former Premier Jose San- chez Guerra, who surrendered to the authorities at Valencia when the revoit miscarried and assumed all blame for its instigation, no longer is kept in strict seclusion on his prison warship Canalejas. The fact that he is per- mitted to receive visitors is taken 325 additional indication that the opposi- tion to the dictator is at least being given a hearing. The premier has ruled with a strons hand since he took the power by a coup dG’etat in 1923. Success in the Riffian cempaign and admitted maintenance of order at home strengthened his hand for some time and he was represented as enjoying the full confidence of King Alfonso. More recently. however, there have been several attempts to unsexut him, news of which was not kept from the world despite the extreme censor- ship imposed. Although the recent revolt within certain commands of the Spanish Army was quickly put down by Premier Primo de Rivera, there have been de- cided rumblings from Spain indicat- ing that there is considerable dissatis- faction with his long rule. Dispatches from Hendaye received by The Associated Press on Thursday quote@ advices from reliable sources indicating that King Alfonso was plan- ning a series of conferences with promi- ent members of the army, politicians. financiers-and social leaders to request their opinion as to the advisability of having the present government remain in power. Travelefts who brought word of these developments expressed belief that these conferences might mean a change in government in case a majority of those interviewed should declare themselves against the premier con- tinuing im power because of the dan- ger it might embody against the throne. The ,premier first came into power by a coup d’etat in 1923, setting up a military dictatorship. This was su- perseded in 1925 by a civil dictator- ship with Primo de Rivera president of the council. A full return to constitu- tional government has frequently been discussed but no direct steps toward this end have yet been taken. Motorist Is Injured In Milk-Wagon Crash Robert W. Mackay. 18 years old, of 2820 Sixteenth street northwest. was cut on the forehead when his automo- bile collided with a milk wagon early yesterday morning at 1741 T street northwest.

Men Filmed While Fleeing Submarine Artificial Lights Used in New Tests 38 Feet Under the Water. Aboard U. 8. S. Mallard Off Key West. Fla., Feb. 16 (A.P.)—By using artificial lights photographers today recorded on films the action of men conducting safety tests aboard the salvaged sub- marine S-4, sunk in 38 feet of water of the coast here. Inclosed in a steel box, with glass windows on two sides, the photog- raphers were lowered down alongside the submarine, where they obtained pictures of Phe men making their way safely from the undersea craft by use of a “lung,” or safety device, resembling a gas mask. In another “setting” the photog- raphers obtained pictures inside the motor room of the craft, showing the chambers being flooded, the men put- ting on their masks and their safe de- parture to the surface through the safety hatch. Lieut. Comdr. P. H. Dunbar, in charge of the safety tests, which have been in pr for more than a week, said the films would be used for educational purposes in instructing the personnel of the submarine service in the use of the escape locks and safety mask.

And being Irish he could not help being what he is. Soldier of fortune or “mis- fortune,” as he insists, dilletante, racon- teur, gourmet, statesman, dreamer ete and what not. In Geneva he has run the entire galaxy without an understudy to replace him.

Ire- land ran and lost, but the preceden: was established. Perhaps one reason she lost was that some of the 30-odd coun- tries who had promised to vote for het changed their vote “orf request” befo'e the final balloting took place.

Starting in the civil service of the British government, he drifted to*Copenhagen to study agron- omy in the Danish State University, only to find himself in the Latin Quar- ter of Paris at the outbreak of the Balkan wars. Being Irish, he wanted to see what the show was like, and the next few years were spent with one side or the other in the Balkan dog fight which went on during the years preceding the World War. A breathing spell in Paris again, and the World War started, and MacWhite. after deciding the British army was no place for him, joined the Foreign Legion. He finished the war ; of the British Empire and the do- minions.” MacWhite heard the statement—he checked in the official minutes and sent the “break” along to Dublin, where a question was asked in the Dail Eireann.

' ada’s candidacy for a seat—and Canada 'won by a single vote. | To repeat the numerous stories that go around Geneva about MacWhite | would be impossible. But the classic at the Opium Conference—the conference that the American delegates, Stephen G Porter and Bishop Brent, bolted back in 1925—cannot be kept for European consumption exclusively. And away from the mellowing influences of Inter- national Ciub cocktails and Bavarian beers, MacWhite probably wil) never be prevailed upon to tell it. All through the long, tedious sessions of the conference—where delegates dwaddied ang. argued on technical points rather than the vital issues of the marcotic evil—MacWhite sat and sat. Now and then he spoke, cryp‘i- cally and sparingly. and always he ad- dressed the chairman in Prench. Asked why he used French instead of Eng- lish, he replied that there were two official league languages—English and French, and as neither was his native tongue, he preferred to speak in French. The British noted the tendency and didn’t like it. Then one bright day, when things were going slowly and half the dele- gates dozed in their chairs, the envoy of the Irish Free State arose to speak. It happens that MacWhite is one of those rare diplomats who use words to ex- press their thoughts rather than to conceal them. Anyway, on this -par- ticular occasion he “said a mouthful.” And in saying it he spoke in the King’s best English. When he had finished the place buzzed—correspondenits had the best story of the week in the denucia- tion of Britain's opium policy. “But why did you suddenly decide to s in English,” the writer asked MacWhite. Without the slightest trace of a smile he replied: “I wanted to be su would understand me.’ They did. And s0 on and on go the yarns that are woven around MacWhite-in Geneva Face Map of Ireland. MacWhite will not be a stranger to America. As commander of a detail of the Foreign Legion sent to aid in the First Liberty Loan ballyhoo, he took his squad of derelicts from city to .city —New York, Washington. Philadelphia, Baltimore, ‘Cleveland, Chicago and across the Canadian border. Marching down Fifth avenue between contingents of American soldiers and sailors, Mac- White’s crippled legionaires halted for a breathing spell, and so did the motor- cycle’ guard of honor which flanked them. All the way an Irish “cop” had been eyeing the officer in charge of the polyglot legionnaires and, unable to conrtol his curiosity any longer. he turned to MacWhite: “Hell. you ain’t no froggy.” “Comprendre pas,” replied MacWhite. But the bluff did not work and he finally admitted that he could not ef- face the map of Ireland from his face even after four years in the legion. It was in a Catholic Church in Wash- ington that his legionnaires went through an ordeal that worried them more than all the bullets they. had faced in France. Legionnaires in those days were “heroic, intrepid, idealistic souls who flocked from all corners of the earth to fight for liberty and free- dom and Prance.” It was not generally known that most of them had forgot- ten their own names. And few if any their last day in re the blighters could remember church, Wife Is Artist. A eaucus of the squad revealed that a solitary soldier had been a Catholic —and thought he remembered what to do. He told his comrades to do what the rest of the devout churchgoers did’ But unfortunately the visitors were seated on the first rows. The unhappy legionnaire who “thought” he remem- bered what was to be done was placed as “column guide” and “eyes right” was the order of the day. MacWhite seldom gets mad—in fact, none of his fr'ends can remember such an occurrence. But it was down on .| the Dobrupolja range in the Balkans where ‘he wanted to lick the entire | Bulgarian army and would have done ‘180 had not his comrades restrained him |In fact, he declares it was the only _ time during the.entire war that he was mad. The order had come in the small | hours ofthe wintry morning to evacu- ate the stone strongholds of the range prepared to retreat, but before depart- ting MacWhite’s squad built a fire and brewed some “vin chaud.” A high- explosive shell whizzed overhead. It broke and a fragment tore the tin of steaming wine from MacWhite’s hand, leaving a scar that he still carries. Ii wasn’t the wound that brought blood to the sergeant’s head, but the memory of that spilled wine, mor: precious than molten gold in the icy morning hours, still rankles. But for detaining hands the Bulgarian army might have gone out of the war at that dawn. MacWhite is married. His wife, who will accompany him to Washington. will be a distinct addition to the for- eign colony. As an artist and painter she has won an enviable reputation in Geneva and has had paintings exhibited at the Paris Salon and exhibitions in Dublin, Copenhagen, Geneva and else- where. She is of Danish origin. As for MacWhite himself, his success at the “Court of Herbert Hoover,” goes without saying. His Washington friends —Senator Burton, “Steve” Porter, “Sol” Bloom and a score of others will attend to that. J. E.

THAD OF AMERICAN PLOMATS RETUR A NMUGURATIN ‘4 Hoover Is Expected to Con- tinue Policy of Retaining Career Men. FLETCHER CONSIDERED FOR ST. JAMES POSITION Herrick’s Retirement Expect- ed, While Gibson Is Fav- ored for Belgian Post. —_eeenedy By WILFRED FLEISHER. One-third of the number of ambas- sadors and ministers in the American service will be in the United States, on leave of absence from their posts, when the new administration takes of- fice on March 4, according to a check of State Department records. Some of these have permanently vacated their ‘posts, while others seek reappointment or transfers to other posts. Altogether 17 chiefs of American tic missions have been granted leave in the United States, including 4 ambassadors and 13 ministers, out of a total of 52 . The ambassa- dors are: Robert Woods Bliss, Argen- tina; Charles MacVeagh, Japan; Ogden Hammond, Spain, and Hugh Gibson, Belgium. The list of ministers com- + David E.

Of the ambassadors it seems fairly certain that Morrow, Fletcher, Gibson, they py, while it seems most likely that ton, Herrick and Moore will relinquish their posts. In Doubtful Class. In the doubtful class may be listed Hammond, Schurman, Judah, Bliss and Culbertson, with indications that the firat three named will be retained in their present posts at least for some time to come. Both Morrow and Fletcher, who ac- companied President-elect Hoover on his Latin-American good-will tour as the representative of the State Depart- en bot pong emg in early Cabinet spec on e post of Secretary of State. Hugh Gibson, who is on his way back to the United States under orders of President Coolidge to consult with the administration on the question of. naval disarmament, is a close personal friend of Mr. Hoover, while at the same time he is regarded as one of the most able diplomats in the service, so aon probabl =i his Gad ags y present post. During his recent visit to Brazil, Mr. to have been im- in that post and who has a wide know!- edge of Latin American affairs, having served successively as Minis- Boom to Make Him Chief ' of Agriculture Ignores Course He Mapped. Prominent Southerners who have urged Charlies S. Barrett, president of ihe National Farmers Union, for the Hoover Cabinet—and they have been many—have not reckoned with a .cer- tain decision Barrett arrived at 24 years ago. Barrett started out to be an ex- ception. He has been the friend of every President since McKinley and has been tempted to throw his deci- sion overboard many times, but now, after having headed the Farmers Union for 20 years, he is still the exception he set out to be. He has never held political office. If that fact seems not unusual, survey the field of farm leaders, the men of sectional or national reputation who speak. with authority on agriculture, and then jot down the names of the leaders in the last 40 years who have not been candidates for some political office and have not accepted political appointment. Men identified with agriculture have been able to enjoy a peculiar political advantage. A case in point is Walter Pierce, two times Governor of Oregon A Democrat in a State normally Re- pubiican by 100,000 votes, and com- paratively unknown politically, Pierce stepped from membership on the State board of the Farmers Union of Ore- gon into the governorship. He was elected on a straight Democratic ticket —by farmers. Farmer in Politics Puzzie. The psychology of the farmer in politics has confused politicians since the first farm group organized. An explanation is that probably it is more difficult to humanize agriculture than any other industry. In tae popular mind, a farmer is a farmer, whether he Plows a 40-acre field or manages 8 thousand acres. The farmer has been eulogized; he has been cursed, extolled, prayed about; he has been discussed in Congress and on every street corner and yet, after all these yezrs, only the farmer knows anything about agricul- ture, Despite all the talk about the farmer by men high in the world’s af- fairs, the people seem to have _ that idea, too. The fact that men affiliated with farm organizations have oeen en- co to run for political office ond have found it so easy, in many in- stances, to win political support, is a commentary on the disposition of the ple to turn to anybody who can justify a claim to knowledge of agri- cultural problems. Nothing is more natural, more ex- pedient, more logical, than that a farm leader should espouse political leader- ship, especially in these latter days when farm relief is distinctly a political subject. In the case of Barrett, a nativa of the South and identified for years among the forward-looking leaders of the Southeast, it has been urged in many quarters that he is a logical choice for Secretary of Agriculture, from the standpoint of availability, easional yualifications and » Barrett set his course when a dele- gation called on him at his Upson County, Georgia, home 24 years ago and asked him to head a county farm organization, then in the making. Men who advocated organizing the farmer then were looked on with the suspicion that would attach now to men ad- vocating the organization of Protestant churches in one centrally controlled denomination. A man might control the tides, elect a President, but to or- ganize the farmer was impossible. Barrett had caught a vision of or- ganized, militant farmers. He carried into the work resourcefulness, fore- sight, the willingness to work hard and long, and infinite patience. And he made up his mind in the beginning that he would never use his affiliation with the organization to advance him- self politically. He organized his county. Later he was made president of the Georgia State farmers’ organiza- tion, a feeble group that struggled to- ward a goal with little encouragement. In a few years a national conference Was called and fourteen States sent delegates to a mecting. Gradually the | organization took on an identity. There were conferences, conventions and visi- tations; delegations called on members of Congress; legislation was discussed: State officials were advised, and en- treated about farm measures. The National Farmers Union had one president before rrett was elevated to the position more than twenty years ago. He had a jnervous breakdown within three months after taking over the work. Problems. of agriculture affect the farmer as well as the poli- ticlans. Was Hard Worker. When Barrett was called on to direct the widespread activity of the farmers union, he served notice that an orrani- zation of farmers was not going to drive him to the breaking point. He nursed their little organizations, pleaded with them and drove them, prayed with them and gave them fits through lean Barrett, Leader of Farmers, Shuns Post in Hoover Cabinet | Determined 24 Years Ago Not to Accept Any Political Job. years and years Of plenty, until after more than twenty years, the national body would not accept his resignation without protest. When he told them it was final, just last fall, they voted him an office anyway. “You can’t leave us,” they argued. Some of the leaders who had opposed him most frequently urged him to con- tinue. “If you think of a title that pleases you, take it and we'll write it in the by-laws,” they said. Barrett is 63-years old and is yqunger in appearance and in ability to turn out work than many men fifteen years his junior. He takes his work as seri- ously as ever, despite his “formal” re- tirement. He can get behind as many doors marked ‘‘strictly private” as any man in Washington, and does. He has been the friend of Presidents and today he calls by first name most of the mem- bers of Congress. He represented the farmers at the Peace Conference, being elected a delegate by all the national farm organizations and requested by President Wilson to attend. He was the only farmer in the world at Ver- sailles. and the only one at the Wash- ington Disarmament Conference, which he attended by appointment of President Harding. He has had numerous oppor- unities for political service at the sug- gestion of Presidents, from Roosevelt to and including Coolidge, but he has held to his decision. Served on National Board. A special commission or two has had him as a member. At the request of President Wilson, he served with Ba- ruch, Ida Tarbell and others on a tem- porary board. which met with Samuel Gompers to bring about a close rela- tionship between labor and capital. The commission ended its service in a row without arriving at an understanding. Like all farm leaders, Barrett pro- gresses from encouragement, to dis- couragement, to encouragement. So far as he can ascertain—and he knows the farm mind and problem as well as anybody in the country and has the confidence of the farmers as few lead- ers have—the farmer today may well adapt the expression attributed to the shipwrecked sailor who. after three days alone in an open boat, dolefully re- marked: “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” Thousands of dollars and months of time have been spent by wel!-meaning individuals m an effort to solve the farm problem. Congress and the coun- try have mulled over farm relief for many weeks. Congress soon will be called into extra session with that sub- ject foremost among the subjects it will discuss. The only thing lacking now is relief for the farmer. Barrett has hopes, but he-is not in- terested m tying his hopes to service in a political job. To those who have paid him the compliment of urging him for Secretary of Agriculture he has replied: “I set out to be an exception. I’m that exception and my word is still good with myself.” RIDDLES IN CRIME The Weird Crime in the Deserted House om By JOSEPH KAYE Mystery of a Simple Ftre.’” By ALFRED STIDHAM.

Many of those who sudmitted answers to last week’s “Riddle in Crime” missed their guess completely while others were.wrong in | Several details of the author’s explanation. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Harry Conner was criminally re- sponsible for the death of Mrs. Atter- bury. Conner’s theory of the fire’s Origin is obviously unsound for the electrical wiring could not have been overloaded as there were no lights burning at the time. Moreover, if the wiring did fail it would probably do so entire house passed through the wires excessively heavy It is hard to figure out an accidental origin for the fire. There was no one in the house except Mrs. Atterbury who was in bed and probably asleep. The furnace had just been attended to and nothing was awry in the kitchen. There is no suggestion that a fireplace fire had been left smouldering in the par- lor. If a fire was in its first stazes while Conner was there he would have undoubtedly smelt the smoke. And yet 15 minutes later the house was in flames. Harry Conner’s story points strongly to his guilt. He claims to have spent 20 minutes fixing the furnace for the night. Such a job should not have taken over 5 minutes at the most. The most natural supposition is that he spent those extra minutes preparing the fire that killed Mrs. Atterbury. His statement that he went to the kitchen for a drink of water seems to have been made to protect himself if anyone had happened to have noticed him moving around on the first floor where the fire started. Another link in the chain of circumstantial evidence is that the par- lor was probably the best place to start a fire that would reach the bedrooms quickly and in full force. Severai times previous to the fire Conner had warned Mrs. Atterbury of the danger inherent in the electric wiring. The thought was probably father to the wish; for Amy Wilson had almost certainly told her fiance of her The Washington Post. The Facts in the Case.

And the wish was prob- ably father to the dastardly deed. I suspect that Amy Wilson was inno- cent of any connection with the cri ie. After showing an affection for her mis- tress over five years she would not be likely to plot such a fiendish crime. If the original idea was Harry Conner’ there was no reason for him to involve Amy Wilson as she was not necessary to his plans. He could easily find out when she would be out of the house. To invite her into the conspiracy would be running the real danger that she might break down under questioning and confess everything.

The defective wiring theory of the fire’s origin could not clear Conner of suspicion. And for this reason: Ac- cording to Conner’s own story, he left the house in darkness, with no lights burning, nor was any one else in ft house except Mrs. Atterbury, and she was asleep and her bedioom dark. How, then, could,the lighting system have been overloaded? With the house in darkness and nobody in it, it is ob- vious that in no way could there have been a strain on the capacity of the wiring. Conner was really guilty, but Amy Wilson. was not. Later proofs were hrougnt together to prove his guilt. He had hoped to get at the inheritance through marrying Amy, though his clumsy mind did not suspect that Amy might not wish to marry him after she had received the money. ‘Copyright. 1929.)

COOP New Commissioner Cites Two Theories; Favors Free Vocational Course. WOULD HELP STUDENTS DECIDE ON LIFE’S WORK Points to ‘Orientation’ Teach- ing; Opposes Minimizing Classic Studies. (United Press.) An educational democracy in which each man or woman may prepare for the work he or she can do best is the ideal of Dr. William J. Cooper, who last evening became United States Commissioner of Fducation. Dr. Cooper came to his present post from California, where he Was State superintendent of schools. He was born in that State and was educated in the University of California. “There are two theories of educa- tion,” Dr. Cooper said yesterday. “One holds the State should make it possible for each boy to become a lawyer, a doctor, or a member of some learned profession if he care to. : “The other theory is built around the belief that the State should pro- vide instruction in all kinds of trades —for dairymen, blacksmiths bee-keep- ers, and farmers. I incline to the latter view.” Education’s Big Task. The problem of helping students to find a life’s work for which they are really fitted ts one of education's big tasks, Dr. Cooper said. “We have all witnessed the business man who, unsatisfied, gave up his work and became a cattle-puncher, with an increase in happiness and health,” he adided. Dr. Cooper did not believe psycho- logical tests to determine a child's fit- ress for certain kinds of work could be judged for soundness until a genera- tion which had used them to choose its vocations had grown up and succeeded or failed. “Orientation courses” provided at Columbia University and other schools were metioned by him as guides to find- ing one’s proper work. Chooses After Many Lectures. These classes provide for their stu- dents lectures by authorities on a great many subjects. The student obtains an outline of all the world’s work and knowledge. With this background he chooses his trade or profession. Dr. Cooper made it clear, however, that in standing for vocational educa- tion he did not minimize the impor- tance of classical learning as obtained through languages, history and litera- ture. These subjects, he seid, should be in- cluded in the last two years of high school and the first two of college work, thus making it possible for a student in moderate circumstances in fewer years to become acquainted witn the subjects on which he now spends eight. This program has been adopted in many cities, he said, by including in junior high school years many subjects formerly taught in the freshman and sophomore classes of high school, thus leaving space in the upper curriculum for richer cultural courses. Pope May Pay Visit To Famous Abbey Trip to Monte Cassino Will Commemorate 1,400th Year of Institution. Vatican City, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—One of the first visits Pope Pius will make outside of the domain of the Vatican probably will be to the famous Bene- dictine Abbey, of Monte Cassino, which this year is celebrating its 1,400th an- niversary. Authoritative sources which gave out this information today said that the summer would be a suitable time for this trip because the abbey is on a high mountain and free from Roman heat. The Pontiff’ may pass some time there. From the mountain a great stretch of central Italy is visible, and under favorable conditions one can see from it both the Adriatic and Tyrrhe- nian Seas.

Herbert Hoover will find plenty of interesting subjects left on his door- step when he moves into the White House on March 4. For instance, there are prohibition enforcement, farm re- lief, the tariff, the cruisers and Boulder Dam, all packed full of trouble for any administration. Mr. Hoover no doubt will deal with them all with tact and intelligence. “But,” said Senator X—— to me to- day. “he has one job on his hands which arouses no envy in me.” I expressed curiosity and he went on: “He must act as social arbiter, and that involves making decisions that I wouldn't want to make for any paltry dust. The floors squeaked weirdly as wy walked over .hem and I was be- coming nervous. I urged Scott to leave but he was still anxious to locate a telephone. ‘Let’s go upstairs to the bedrooms,’ he said, ‘Maybe there’s one there.’ “We made our way up the stairs, Scott’s flashlight throwing strange shad- ows on the walls. Every step we made bent the wood and produced a creak that went through the house like a wail. I don’t Know why I should have been frightened, but I was. It was all I could do not to jump away from Scott and .un out into the road. , “We came to the landing. All was black except for the faint beam of light from Scott’s lamp. ‘I wonder which is the master bedroom?’ Scott said. Before I could answer I was turned to stone by a distinct sound that came from one of. the rooms. ‘What was that?’ Scott whispered. 1 could not answer. The sound was not repeated. Scott hesitated a moment then he said, ‘come on, let’s find out,’ and threw open the door of the room from which the souad had seemed to come. “If I had been horrified by the sound I was now paralyzed by wahat happened. The room was in darkness, but at one end I saw two eyes glaring at me, their light reflected from Scott's flashlight, which was directed in another direc- tion. “I could not make out to whom the eyes belonged. I gave a strangled cry. At the same instant a form Jeaped upon Scott. I saw the flashing of a dagger and Scott fell to the floor with a horrible scream. The form dashed out of the door, I heard a thumping of running steps down the stairs and then all was quiet. except for a faint moaning from Scott. “J was half crazy from what had hap- | pened. We were now in total darkness, for Scott had dropped his flashlight. I struck a match and fell to my knees at Scott’s side. Blood was running from him and his moans had turned to choking gasps. The match went out and as I struck another one Scott gave a convulsive shudder and ‘lay still. “Something thei seemed to burst in my brain. I leaped out of the room, ran out of the house and all the way to the light we had seen »urning in the farm house some distance away. There 1 got the people to telephone the police.” This was Colton’s story. The police attempted to verify it by trying to find traces of a third person who had been in the uninhabited house. This house belonged to people who had been in Europe for some years. They had tried to sell it, but it’s out-of-the-way location made this difficult. Their agent had disposed of the salab furniture and the place had bee practically abandoned. The fact the police and other people had tramped over the house and grounds since the murder made it impossible to dis- tinguish foottracks in the dust. Finger- prints or other signs there were none. Colton’s story was so fantastic and | memorial was made resterday by fictional that little faith was placed in it by the-police. It was assumed that he had murdered Ferguson because of some cause that was indicated by his frequent business quarrels with him. The Problem.

Therefore, practi- cally all labor has been affected either directly or indirectly by adjustments which were based in some measure upon the cost of living.” It is of great significance that this application of an index number cor- rective was made even in a gold-stand- ard country. The recent war period was the first time in history that there had been any such widespread confeés- sion that gold was a poor standard in which to make wage or other contracts and that such contracts needed to be corrected by an index measuring varia- tions in the buying power of gold. These wage adjustments flourished during inflation. They were popular with workingmen. But as soon as de- flation appeared they began to be abandoned, The chief reason is the workmen, largely because of the inoney illusion, feel that any downward ad- justment of wages lowers their buying power and object to it. Nevertheless, the plan of thus ad- justing wages is still resorted to occa- sionally. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., under the Mitten manage- ment, has recently introduced this 6ys- tem of a “market basket wage” based on especially constructed index of the cost of living in Philadelphia. aan | Y.

Thus the general level of prices is raised or lowered (which means the purchasing power of the dollar is lowered or raised) by the circu- lation of money. outrunning that of goods or the revérse. In actual fact the money flow is extremely un- steady as compared with the goods fiow, which accounts for the vari- ous periods of inflation and defla- tion which ha‘. disastrously affect- ed price levels both here and abroad. Prof. Fisher then pointed out how | inflation hurts bond holders and re- wards stock holders whereas defla- tion vorks the other way—the shift- ing value of the rubber dollar al- ways hurting some portion of the people—be they rich or poor. Every contract in a gold standard country is a gamble in the future value of the gold dollar—while every con- tracting party is compelled to be a gambler in gold without his own consent. In the Jast chapter the author showed that business cycles, booms ‘and recessions can be mainly traced to umstable money. The interests of labor especially lie in the stabili- zation of the money unlit. The la- borer is the victim not only of un-. employment resulting from defla- tion but also of the high cost of liv- ing caused by inflation. The labor- er’s money wages almost always and inevitably lag behind the rising cost of iiving. idpes—the real wages uced, either by Labor always of labor are wages lagging behind ‘the high cost of living (during inflation) or by some workers being out of jobs and having no wagés at all (during de- flation).

But a car full of young joy-riders comes zipping round a fast corner—or a show-off driver tries a forward pass he can’t complete—and where would you. be if your brakes weren't instantaneous? . . . Reo’s “intemal expanding hydraulic 4-wheel brakes” may sound like a mere engineering term—till you need them. After that—you can spell them with six letters —safety. They're so sure they keep you from worrying about yourself and your passengers.

Millions of workmen in Amer- ica, and still more in Europe, have had and have now their wages adjusted ac- tp he on sg of the cost of Hving. en t ndex up, wages go u accordingly. As Himer B. Carr, writing in 1924, says: “The cost of living has entered as a factor into practically every award made by the Government arbitration boards. It also has been considered by State and municipal agencies and by State arbitration boards, and has been the controlling factor in the fix- ing of wages by minimum wage boards in thirteen States and the District of Columbia. In the last ten years it has entered into practically every indus- trial case which was: voluntarily arbi- trated. During the war plans involving the use of cost of living figures were adopted by a great many private em- Zloyers, and while some of these have been abandoned, others are still in ef- fect. Since the war many other firms have adopted definite plans for the payment of wages, all of which provide for the consideration of figures show- ing changes in the cost of living. “It is impossible to estimate the number of employes affected by adjust- ments based on changes in the cost of living. The awards of Federal arbitra- tion boards involved directly about 747,000 employes in the coal industry; 100.000 employes in the packing indus- try; §00,000 ag re oo in the shipping industry, and 2,000,000 employes on railroads. In addition the awards of the Usrited States National War Labor Board affected 711,500 employes in va- rious industries. “Since 1922 all commissioned officers below certain ranks in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey and Public Health Service have their subsistence and rent allowances determined by changes in the cost-of-living figures of the United States Bureau of La Statistics. This affects directly about 16,000 men. In the book and job printing industry of New York City alone the wages of ap- proximately 22.000 employes were in- volved. In Chicago, in the same in- dustry, the number of employes af- fected was between 9,000 and 10,000. The awards of the Council of Indus- trial Relations for the Electrical Con- struction Industry affect about 150,000 men.

In the central European countries, after the World War, it became the habit to make the contract for rentals, and even deferred payments of all _ | kinds, in terms of commodities, usually wheat or rye. Such contracts existed in Austria and Roumania and other countries. In Hungary it was reported [| : tion was | depositor not the number of crowns safe as iong as it was deposited, but a number sufficient to buy the same number of bushels of e as the original deposit was worth plus interest. Such practices are prudent, and it would be well if they. were more widely adopted. They not only protect indi- vidual interests, but at the same time diffuse knowledge about the principles of stabilization. The Tabular Standard. It is but a short step from such con- tracts in gingle-commodity standards to contracts in multiple-commodity stand- ards. Under these the money payments are adjusted according to an index number, or, to use the eaflier designa- tion, according to the “tabular stand- ard.” An interesting example, and bably the very first, of the partial of @ tabular standard as a correc- per maney instability is b .

Don’t let your child suffer from constipation until] his stomach and bowels are weakened. At the first sign of bad breath, coated tongue or feverishness, stop his trouble quick with California Fig Syrup. Children love its rich, fruity taste. It cleans them out thoroughly, regulates stomach and bowels and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act normally of their own accord. Thousands of Washington moth- ers are eager to tell of their ex- perience with it. Mrs. John A. Spellbring, 1009 I St., N. E., says: ‘‘My little son, William, was near- ly ruined by weak bowels before I began giving him California Fig: Syrup. He was sallow, bilious, half-sick all the time.

HREE games will be played in the District Prep School League this week instead of the usuai two. In addition to the regular double-header on Wednesday, wh.ch will bring St. John’s against Devitt in the opener and Emerson against Gonzaga in the nightcap, a contest between Emerson and St. John’s will be played on Friday at the Boys Club, the scene of all the prep league games. Friday’s game Was | originally scheduled for last week, but Coaches Sullivan, of St. John's, and Banfield, of Emerson, became confused over their schedules. At this writing, Gonzaga Five is far out in front in the race with all of the other teams, except Emerscn, being out of the running. Emerson late en- trant in the circuit, has to play Gon- zaga, Devitt and St. John’s twice. Emersons Must Defeat Gonzaga Twice to Stay in Race. Emerson's hope for the titie lies in defeatmg Gonzaga twice. Then Emer- son's games with St. John’s and Devitt would decide the issue. Should Gonzaga -vin both games from Emerson, the championship will go to Gonzaza. In this event, Emerson would not have to play the remainder of its games in the schedule. The leagues’ plans for basebal’ will be discussed Thursday at a meeting of the officials of the league at the Boys Club, beginning at 4 o’clock Many out-of-town teams have been invited to enter, including Hyattsviile High, Swavely Prep, George Mason and Epis- copal.

By MIKE KELLEY” (Eastern High School Coach). ern make up the local high school representation in the fifth annual Indoor meet sponsored by the Univer- sity of Virginia to be held next Satur- day night in’ Memorial Gymnasium at Charlottesville, Va. These games mark the formal debut of both squads for the 1929 season, though Tech was rep- resented in the Meadowbrook games last week by a relay team and Foun- tain, the squad’s leading sprinter. Cen- tral is not expected to send any of its team to this meet, which is being run off in three sperarate classes, high school, prep and college. Fountain, by the way, showed his heels to some good college sprinters at the Meadowbrook meet, taking sec- ond place in the 50-yard open handicap sprint. Many local fans were of the opinion that he was shut out in the initiation sprint in competition with Williams, the Canadan Olympic cham- pion, and Wildermuth, of Georgetown, but such was not the case. Fountain did not compete in this race, which was a special invitation affair. but ran in the open against the leading college sprinters and, with a 2-foot handicap, managed to cop second place. Tech and Eastern Sending Pick Of Squads to Charlottesville. Both Tech and Eastern are sending the pick of their squads, in so far as the indoor work has shown the lead- ing members. Tech's entries are as fol- lows: Fifty-yard dash, Fountain, Liv- ingston and Smith; 50-yard low hurdles, Oyster, Goss, Piggot, Bergen and Hay- wood; 440-yard dash, Nebel, Drissel, Cole, Geiger, Reichman and . Edwards; 880-yard run, Reichman, Smith, Geiger and Edwards; mile run, Smith, Abramo- vitch and Foster; high jump, Van Horn and Benner; shot put, Edwards and Wall; 1-mile relay, Nebel, Reichman, Smith and Edwards. Eastern’s colors will be carried. by the following: Fifty-yard dash, Elisinger, Martin and Tolson; 50-yard low hur- dies, Everett. Slye and Wheeler; 440- yard dash, Swope, Stansbury, Clow, May and Patterson; 880-yard run, Mc- f "RACK teams from Tech and East- | Cullough, F. Miles, C. Miles and Shorb; mile run, FP. Miles, C. Miles, Shorb and Steinkuller; high jump, Wade, Jenkins and Kennefrly; shot put, Hutchinson and Farhood: 1-mile relay, Stans- bury, Clow, May, Swope and Patterson. Approaching Outdoor Season Promises Plenty of Action. The. Virginia meet will practically wind up the local indoor season for track, as it is the only one in this vi- cinity, and, after a few weeks lay off, all the squads will. be getting outdoors in preparation for the first meet on April 20, to be conducted by Devitt Prep. Then will follow some dual af- fairs, the Penn relays, the annual] ‘C” Club meet, and the interscholastic games, thus giving track athletes much more competition than in past seasons.

The committee on revision, under the chairmanship of Albert E. marry has practically completed its 8. | The changes which have been made are certain to meet with favor, but the tincipa] feature of the new document s the incorporation of an article sug- gesting the creation of an eligible jist for participation if club tournaments and of an eligibility committee to de- termine whether any of the entrants have violated the ethics of the game regarding amateurism. This article. already published in The Post. is generally regarded as a teurism, safeguarding the game against commercialism and exploitation while giving to every golfer ample opportunity to meet all accusations. This article has been so carefully prepared that its adoption seems assured. Golf Association to Hold Annual Meeting March 18. The regular date for the annual meeting of the District Golt Associa- tion is the first Monday in March, which also happens to be ina day. Consequently. President C. C. Caywood and Secretary William C. Barr have decided that tne ae shall te held on the night of March 18. It wil be preceded by a session of the execu- tive committee on the night of Fri- day. the 14th, when there will be a general discussion of the matters to be brought up at the annual meeting. including the new constitution and the arrangement of dates for club invita- tion events. Up to the present time there have been no indications of any departure from the regular spring program. It is expected that the Washington Golf and Country Club will, as usual, start the season with a tournament in the last week of April or the first week in May and will be followed by the compe- titions at the Town and Country, Clubs in the order named. In the fall the Bannockburn Club will. hold its tournament and. the Manor Club has also decided to ask for a date in Sep- tember or early October. 'Indian Spring Club to Introduce Some Innovations in Tourneys. - While these club events will, there- fore, proceed in regular order, it is known that at least one club proposes to introduce some innovations. When the annual meeting of the Indian Spring Club is held on Monday, April 1, resolutions will be introduced propos- ing that the club tournament shall] be conducted under conditions never be- fore attempted in this section. These new provisions are as follows: First—Elimination of stymies tn all match play rounds. Second—Compelling all putts in match play rounds to be holed out. Third—All matches, other than in the first sixteen, to be played on a handicap basis. While these suggestions contemplate & radical departure from the usual manner of conducting club tourna- ments, the members of the Indian Spring Club are practically unani- mous in regarding them as a step for- ward in the right disection and as dem- onstrating the progressive character of the club. They can be put into operation with- out difficulty, except possibly the pro- posed elimination of .stymies. In the latter case it will be necessary to state that the tournament will be run under the rules of the Uniteq States Golf Association with the exception of en- forcing stymies and the golf committee will hold that it has a right to make a local rule to this effect. Sentiment in Favor of Abolishing Conceded Putts Almost Universal. In addition, the course to be pursued t the players when « stymi: occurs re- mains to bé definitely determined, as, for instance, whether the ball nearest the cup shall be putted or lifted. These details can, however, be satisfactorily arranged before the tournament? js held. The sentiment in favor of abolishing the concession of putts is almost uni- versal. It has already been stated that the Metropolitan and New Jersey Golf Associations have requested the na- tional organization io formulate a rule which will take the place of the pres- ent recommendation, compelling all putts to be holed out, but such action has not yet been taken. The third provision, introducing the handicap allowance into match play for all contestants in sixteens other than the first, is one that is designed to obviate a growing evil in club tourna- ments. complaint that low handicap players who happen to have a bad round .n qualification day, wiil secure places in the third and even the fourth sixteen and their victory is.assured from the very start. The less expert competitors, who are where they properly belong, are certain to be defeated. They are in a hopeless positic . as soon as they step upon the iee. All Competition in First Sixteen To Be On an Even Basis. The Bannockburn Jlub last year at- tempted to remedy this condition by adopting a system which compelled all contestants to qualify in the sixteen appropriate to their handicaps. The enforcement of tuis rule debarred a number of players from further par- ticipation in the tournament. It is felt at the Indian Spring Club that this is not an altogether satisfactory all players who qualify are to be al- lowed to continue in match play. In the first sixteen. all competition shal} be on an even basis. In all the other sixteens, however, match ‘play shall be with handicap allowance so that the voorer player will have, at least, a chance to struggle thro There will be then some eouity in competition.

Charles E. Hughes Radios Greetings to Byrd Crew Antarctic Explorers Hailed by Speaker as Inspiring Ex-| ample for American Youth; Sees Gain for All Humanity in Achievement. New York. Feb. 16 (AP.).—Over thousands of miles to the icy Ant- arctic the voice of Charlies E. Hughes extended over the radio tonight the greetings of his fellow citizens to Com- mander Richard E. Byrd and members of his expedition. Speaking from the Nationa] Broad- casting Co. studio in New York through stations WBZ, WBZA and KDKA, Mr. Hughes characterized the spirit and motives impelling the South Polar ex- pedition as an inspiretion to American youth. “Your careful preparations, your equipment, the tested ee of your essociates, evéry cetail of your plans,” he said, “reflect the highest ble alms in the advancement of nowledge. The path of your leader- ship discloses no sordid trail of com- mercialism. The gains you will make possible wil] belong to all, increasing humanity's rich inheritance. “Is it any wonder that we love you and desire to cheer you? in our coin- fortable homes, we think of you as our representative, carrying our flag, realiz- ing our hopes, justifying our faith. “We think of you as the inspirer of American youth, which needs to catch the enthusiasm of your daring. and by the aid of your example to get the vision of a world of heroism and sacr!- fice, of courage and inflexible resolve, without which youth itself would be but a mockery. “The vision you give is not simple of the little ship in the Antarctic, of the small company of explorers, of aerial flights and observations! but it is a vision of character, of sound plans well executed amid great peril through strength of mind and will; and the record of your adventure, important as we hope it will be from a scientific standpoint, will apart from that take its place in the imperishable history of great deeds which give luster to the American name.” OUN FOTO IN HOPE OF OAVING' FATHER Hunger-Striker, After Days, Would “Dispossess”’ His Parent of “Devil.” New Hampshire, Ohio, Feb. 16 (U-P.). Fred Conrad, 27, once a robust 200- pound traction station agent, continued his hunger strike tonight, “under the guidance of God.” The objective of Conrad’s self- imposed “martyrdom” is to dispossess his father and the villagers of the devil, butlaue far they have refused to be saved. Conrad has not eaten—according to relatives—for 34 days, but several] per- sons believe to the contrary. They think Fred isn't entirely honest, gastro- nomically, and is dining secretively on half rations. Meantime, however, Conrad's avoir- dupois has shrunken from 200 to the alarming point of 140 pounds, and his face is lined and emaciated. The former agent conceived the 60- called hunger strike after the Rev. Ray Dotson, of New Hampshire Methodist Church, conducted a revival. grocer, was possessed of the ievil, and he and Dotson constituted -hemselves a committee of two to save nis soul. The father proved unpersuasive, and far from passive, Literally, he informed ick with them or the devil and urgga them not to tarry. Fred also proved obstinate. and ar- gued without avail until the early morning hours. Fred still had a trump card, how- ever. And as he and Dotson departed he turned to his father with this ul- timatum : “Either you will follow me into the church or you will follow a casket with me in it.” Conrad laughed and retired. His son returned home and presumably told his wife that henceforth he and victuals were “out.” The game morning his self-imposed fast began. Dr Runther, the health commis- sioner and author of the “half rations” idea, believes Dotson and Conrad en- neered the hunger strike to adver- Dotson's revival meetings. Senate Bill Speeds Army Promotions Measure, Passed Yesterday, Will Prove Great Aid to Air Corps Officers. (Associated Press.) The Senate yesterday passed a bill creating @ new promotion system for the Army, which representeq a com- promise after a year’s dispute in the Senate military committee. The promotion plan was substituted ‘by the Senate for the Furlow bill to establish a separate promotion list for the Air Corps, passed more than a year ago by the House. Chairman Reed, of the military af- fairs committee, explained that the bill would allow for an acceleration of promotions within the Air Corps tn order to give that branch the neces- sary quota of colonels and majors. A og by Senator Bingham (Re- publican), Connecticut, to amend the measure by providing for a separate | promotion list for the Air Corps was to a conference with the House, The bill also would provide for the retirement, with the permanent rank of Meutenant generals of Hunter Lig- gett snd Robert L. Bullard, who served as such in France. Second lieutenants would be pro- moted to first Meutenants after thres years’ service, first lieutenants to cap- tains after a total of ten years, cap- tains to majors after a total of fifteen years, majors to lMeutenant colonels after twenty years’ service and lieuten- ant colonels to colonels after 26 years’ service. | TODAY’S WOMEN Conrad decided his father, George, a | By EARL MINDERMAN.

INTO. JUDGE TAKING FOOD. SOME SAY|RE 34 Attorney General Sargent De- | | clines to Reveal Data Ob- tained on Winslow. b FUSAL TO BE DISCUSSED (Associated Press.) A special session of the House judi- clary committee has been called for to- morrow, after refusal by Attorney Gen- eral Sargent yesterday of its request that the investigation of Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow, being conducted by | District Attorney Tuttle in New York, be returned over to the eommittee. Representatives LaGuardia, New York; Stobbs, Massachusetts, and Sum- ners, Texas, conferred with Mr. Sargent and he announced the decision imme- diately thereatfer. He held that evi- dence collected in New York concerning the handling of bankruptcy cases by Judge Winslow could not be turned over to others until the grand jury had filed its report, The judiciary subcommittee met in executive session in the reception room of the Avtsorney General's suite, later saying nothing could be made public as to their conclusions at this time. It will report to the full committee tomorrow, and the committee then is expected to determine its future course. The committee had wanted to utilize the machinery and evidence available in New York for its own inquiry, 80 that a report might be made to Con- gress prior to March 4. Attorney General Sargent declined to discuss, in any way, the requésts made by the committee, but said he felt Mr. Tuttle, was conducting the investiga- tion in an efficient and orderly man- ner and that it would be improper to divulge anything that the grand jury might develop. He pointed out that the grand jury ultimately would make a complete re- port, at which time all it had developed could be ascertained by any one in- terested. LaGuardia, who has presented charges that Judge Winslow abused his office, sponsored a resolution, approved by the judiciary committee, asking the de- partment to furnish the committe with information concerning his allegations. The Attorney General’s attitude has been that it was not within the prov- ince of the department to bring charges against a Federal official for impeach- ment purposes. This function, he has held, is delegated to the House by the Constitution. Churches to Vote On Merger Plans Three Groups of German- rejected. The Senate's bill now goes | .

TILT ON SUM ANTICIPATED Paris, Feb. 16 (U.P.).—Reparations experts of the seven powers here to liquidate the enormous financial b- lems left by the World War spent the week-end in private conferences pre- paring for the first controversial session of the meeting on Monday. The experts of France, England, Bel- gium, Italy and Japan were busy today considering the statistics presented by the Germans and preparing their own figures to controvert debatable points. A spokesman for the experts said the conference early next week prob- ably would begin discussing one of the outstanding problems—the amount Germany must pay each year in the future. The subject was considered certain to bring the first conflict of viewpoints. It was believed the amount of the annuities would be considered before the number of years the annuities are to run. The two together will deter- mine the total Germany must pay. Jules Sauerwein, writing in Le Ma- \tin, said the United States delegates, wen D. Young. chairman of the con- ference, and J. P.

After hearing adverse testimony {for nearly a week Gov. Henry 8. Johnston tonight still was confident he will be victorious in the impeachment trial against him.

The house board of prose- cuting Johnston before the senate court of 44 members and Johnston's counsel, each have won victories under rulings of Chief ce Charlies W. Mason, presiding and under a full vote of the court None of these vic- tories, however, are indicative of the fina] outcome. “The prosecution thus far has in- troduced opinions and hearsay evi- dence only,” Johnston told the United Press. “And the board of managers has not found a single questionable act that I did as governor. In this last month and a half they have !n- vestigated me from the cradle to the present and have found my record clean.

Close Shows Ability. Virginia’s contribution to the War of the Revolution was easily as great a3 that of any of the thirteen colonies. Patrick Henry contributed his fiery eloquence and masterful statesman- ship;, Thomas Jefferson gave his wis- dom, diplomacy and literary ability: George Washington gave his general- ship, his statesmanship, his strategic ability, his gift of leadership and his private fortune; Richard Henry Lee and George Mason geve their states- manship; George Rogers Clark gave nis personal magnetism and audacity; ton gave their acumen and military meniou; and thousends of Virginians gave their lives on the altar of liberty. The value of Virginia's contribution to the War of the Revolution can not be measured in numbers of men, nor in victories won. nor in the sacrifice of material wealth; but only in terms of everlasting. gratitude which is in men's hearts for her great contribution to the extention of liberty. freedom and justice throughout all America,” the winner says in the closing paragraph of his essay. The winning essay will be read in full at the exercises at Poli’s Theater.

MELVILLE E. STONE. a The death of Melville E. Stone removes — one of the grand old men from the fiel 2 of American journalism. Born in 1848, the son of an itinerant preacher, he drifted into newspaper work at a com- — paratively early age. Successively news- — boy, reporter and editor on Chicago papers, in 1875 he became the owner of — the Chicago Daily News, making it the © first penny daily in the world. His claim ~ to fame, however, was not in the success — of his publications, but in the organiza- — tion and direction of the Associntet | Press. P The establishment of the ineneiill hin 4 sociated Press marked the birth of the modern newspaper. From 1848 forward: — there were in existence several large — newsgathering organizations, two of — which at various times were called the — Associated Press. The present organiza- — tion, composed of individual newspapers associated for the cooperative gathering — of news, was founded in 1900. Mr. Stone ~ became its general manager, guiding it — through the difficult days of organization — and development until it reached its preg — ent high state of efficiency. In 1921 He ~ turned it over to younger hands, although until comparatively recently he remained in active contact with its affairs in the position of counselor. * Mr. Stone leaves behind him as an in- destructible monument the organization that functions in accordance with the principles he laid down.

Kel- logg, wife of the Secretary of State, who entertained at luncheon for Mrs. Coolidge a week ago yesterday, Mrs. John G. Sargent, wife of the Attorney General, gave one in honor of Mrs. Coolidge on Monday. It was held at thé Willard Hotel, and the other guests were the ladies of the Cabinet, as was the case at the luncheon two days later when Mrs. Harry S. New, wife of the Postmaster General, entertained for Mrs. Coolidge. The Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Will- iam Fairfield Whiting were hosts at a dinner in honor of the President and Mrs. Coolidge Tuesday night at the Mayflower, when they had 30 guests. Secretary and Mrs. Whiting had with them for the dinner their son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Whiting, of Holyoke, Mass., and Mrs. Whit- ing’s brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Chapin, of Boston. Besides these guesta, all of the others were from out of tows, with the exception of Senator David I. Walsh, Senator and Mrs. Frederick H. Gil- fett and Representative and Mrs. Allen T. Treadway, all from Massachusetts. On Tifursday Mrs. Coolidge entertained at tea in honor of the wives of the representa- tives, the week before given one for the wives of the senators.

Private Luncheons, Dinners, Bridge a A a THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1929. Fashions By VYLLA POE WILSON. HE first battle in the war of the 7 roses being carried on in interna- tional sartorial circles has appar- ently been won by those who have joined forces with those who are a little tired of the insistence of some of the arbiters of fashion that only plain materials will be used for formal eve- ning gowns. Those who have espoused floral ef- fects in designs of materials not only for daytime but for evening wear point with pride to the smart appearance many of the young girls make at the parties in their very latest version of dance frocks, Dolly Varden effects and floral printed taffetas. These fit as per- fectly as those of plain materials into the prevailing mode of rather tight- fitted princess-like dresses with flaring hemlines longer in the back than in the front. Some of the prettiest of the wearers look for all the world as though they had stepped out of an old-fash- The PALAIS ROYAL COMING!

Daytime Dresses, Ensembles, Sportswear, Coats, Wraps and Hats collected from the world’s foremost style authorities. Your Inspection Is Invited A Shop of Individuality loned valentine, except, of course, they present a smarter appearance with their well coiffed hair and the simple chic lines of their gowns. This is evidently a style which will prevail for many months, and anyway will form impor- tant parts of the inaugural and post- inaugural party dresses of the younger set. The flowered chiffons of last sum- mer and fall have taken on a new lease of life for both daytime and eve- ning wear. Accept Garland of Roses. Some women are steadfastly standing however for the, beauty and elegance of plain materials, although some make concessions in favor of a garland of roses on the shoulder or hip. But the latest fashion dispatches tell us that the great designers have thrown their vote for smartness this spring to those who foster the printed and flowered word of fashion. Not Only do they champion the flowered materials, but artificial flowers are used on hats and shoulders and form half girdles or decorate the handles of the chiffon parasols for spring and summer. In fact, many of the shops give all the appearance of a spring costume flower show. Americans have always liked the vogue for costume flowers. If they listened for a while to the dic- tates of those who frown on them be- cause they may have become “too usual” a part of every costume, they have changed their minds, and arti- ficial flowers of lovely manufacture and material are being worn literally from morning to night, at tea and luncheons and dances in Washington While, of course, the smartness and becomingness of the untrimmed hat is a foregone conclusion, yet there is an intriguing suitableness in the ap- plication of a flat feather or flower to relieve the untrimmed effect and not to interfere with the unbroken sil- houette so desirable just now. One of the reasons for the return of flowers to fashion is doubtless because of the current trends in costume fashion to have everything worn together, blend and harmonize. More~+Clusters Than One. No wise woman in the matter of clothes will confine her costume flow- ers to a single cluster to be worn with many different frocks. She is much more apt to have several garlands or clusters to change the effect of a single gown. This is effective when the slippers match and harmonize with the dress. At one party a debutante wore a dress of orchid taffeta, shading into blue, and wore a garland of blue forget-me-nots on her shouider, three times larger than the ordinary blos- soms are. With this she wore not only satin slippers but stockings to match Now, since the pajama ensemble has taken its place in the world of appro- priate costumes for morning, or after- noon tea with intimate friends, the question of boutonnieres to wear with them is worthy of serious considera- tion, we are told by those who have adopted this form of informal dress. With white satin or black pajamas the red flower looks very well, especially if it is worn by a woman to whom this color is becoming. At a recent boudoir tea when the guests gathered about a cozy table in front of the fire to talk over spring and late winter clothes, one of the house guests wore a suit of em- erald green velvet pajamas, with a loosely fitted, sleeveless jumper in place of a coat. With this she wore a green and gold orchid on her left shoulder. One of the most attractive of the spring ensembles seen at a tea for young people last week was of fine black and white tweed, with a black straw hat, trimmed with a white flower and a flower to match in the button- hole of the coat. This sack suit is sometimes worn with a burnt orange straw hat, with three daisies in black and white and daisies in the buttonhole. Flower Turbans Revised. With “say it with flowers,” one of the fashion slogans of the spring, it is not surprising that the -lower tur- bans we all liked so much last fall should be revived for Easter and pre- Easter wear with modifications, of course, to meet the changing styles. Practically every one of these flower turbans has a flange of silk or tiny flowers over one or both ears. Some of them have crowns of the flowers and brins of matching grained silk, wider and drooping at the side than they are in the front and back. Even the gar- den party hats which come to. the forefront of fashion as regularly as the changing season have crowns of flow- ers, usually tiny ones, with wide droop- ing at the sides of transparent brims. One of the latest of the flower fads -AFEW SMALL BABY GRANDS : We have four good used grands that we will sell at these low prices during the next few days.

One debutante wore at a party a dress of white taffeta with floral motifs of yellow roses at wide intervals. The garland of roses on one shoulder ex- actly match the printed ones on the silk. , Even the chiffon dresses are apt to be further enhanced by a chiffon flower to pin on the shoulder or on the scarf of exactly the pattern in the chiffon. On~ of the evening dresses of black taf- feta, and, of course, there are many such, was simple and plain enough to suit the most conservative except for a huge floral motif of red silk at each side of the longer in the back full skirt The rose poised at the waist line was exactly like that on the printed motif on the skirt. Among the novelties in flowers are those of lace, quite to be expected in such a lacy year. These are of roses and violets made of stiffened lace in deli- cate pastel shades. For the sport costumes there are fas- cinating silk flowers made of plaid and striped material which never grew on any bush, of course, but the fashion one. Mrs. Elkins in Black Satin. Mrs, Stephen B. Elkins had on at a tea a dress of black satin made in draped effect and trimmed with beige lace. With this she wore a small black hat and sable furs. Mrs. Francis Winslow looked charm- ing at a luncheon in a dress of plum- colored crepe de chine, with which she wore a matching felt hat. She wore a sable scarf. Mrs, James M. Thomson had on at a recent party in New Orleans a dress of silver and orchid lame, made on straight simple lines with a garland of orchids on one shoulder. Miss Ruth Bryant, who motored from Alexandria last week for a luncheon party, had on a knitted black and white sport dress, a small black hat, and a leopard skin coat. Mrs. Lawrence Crawford is wearing a gown of changeable blue and orchid taffeta made in bouffant effect with a V neckline back and front. Mrs. Henry Suydam has a dress of flowered orchid chiffon, made with a scarf collar and tiered skirt tied at one hip. With this she wears a small velvet hat. Mrs. Edward E. Dorn is wearing a dress of blue satin made on modish lines under a coat of sealskin with a high collar. With this Mrs. Dorn wears @ small black hat. Mrs, George V.

Although 1 have read everything on the subject 1 have been able to lay hands on, I have never yet found a really satisfactory explanation of why certain people can or can not wear cer- taim perfumes There is, of course, the explanation that we associate the scents of certain flowers with certain things, but this has always seemed to me rather superficial. and certainly it does not explain anything except the most general facts in the matter. So here is a theory of our own on the subject. We don't know just what some of our eminent scientists would have to say about this, but since they Dare’s | Weekly Fashion Letter 7 don’t even agree among themselves on | theories fairly safe. Dare’s Theory Explained. Our theory is baged on the admitted | fact that each and every one of us has a distinct, personal scent. We are not speaking now of ‘those. bodily odors, which are agitating advertising writers so much at the moment, but of some- thing much more subtie—the scent by which a dog recognizes his master or mistress and by which a bloodhgund trails a certain person unerringly. This scent is‘undoubtedly closely as- sociated with the chemical nature of the secretions of the various glands, and, since the emotions affect the com- position of these, it is reasonable to / suppose that our scent has some close connection with our personality. Historical Interest. We recall, offhand, two interesting cases of this personal scent existing in a highly marked degree. Plutarch tells us that Alexander the Great gave the ‘Has Winter Harmed Your Skin?

And even though we wefe to set this down to a bit of hero-worshiping exaggera- tion, we have the morte modern and perfectly authentic instance of Walt Whitman, who had a pleasant, aromatic personal odor like that of the pines. We have 8 neglected our sense of smeli that it is now the poorest of our senses, Dut we still are aware of these odors. subconsciously. Some psycholo- gists even go so far as to say, and not without reason, that our instinctive likes and dislikes upon meeting people | * are largely influenced by this primitive || instinct of scent and the clew it gives our subconsciousness as to the charac- ter and personality of the person. Thus those of us who claim to have strong intuitive impressions of people on first meeting them probably have this scent reaction more highly developed than others. Perfume Personality. All of which brings us to our theory of personality in . It seems to us that the suitability of a perfume must depend not only upon the things which that scent suggests, but also upon how that scent harmonizes with that naturally emanated by your own skin For just as two colors in your ensemble which clashed would be un- pleasant, two odors which do not go 80 agreeably together can fot have @ happy effect. No Rules for Selection. Unfortunately, the science of smells is not developed to the polnt where we can measure and classify scents as we do colors and musical tones, so there is no exact way as yet that you can go about this matter of seleeting your proper perfume. You can, however, give the matter careful thought and study, experiment judiciously, and you will eventually know intuitively when you have hit upon the proper scent for the proper occasion. Once you have found your right kind of perfume, you must modify it to ft the occasion and the mood. A perfume which would be delightful at a dinner dance would be in very poor taste at Peplums and bustles have | Pr liant night scenes, the rhinestone shoul- der strap being momentartly preferred to the buat-up bodice.

The Importance of Perfume. Most such mistakes are made through thoughtlessness, and a failure to realize the importance of perfume, which is not just a bit of feminine vanity, as 66 many men seem to believe, but a subtly emotional influence which can or hurt you. Oliver Wendel) Holmes once said: “Memory, imagination, old sentiments and associations are more readily fre- called through the sense of smell] than almost. any other channel.” So, let us add, be careful to pick the sort of perfume you would want to be remembered by!

HE exhibition of the Society of Washington Artistis at the Cor- coran Gallery of Art is one of the most outstanding in its history, cer- tainly of the past few years. It is to see the progress the artists have made. The steady improvement | by Benson B.

On the two-great days | Of the church, Christmas and Easter, it became customary to introduce into | the liturgy a brief spectacle, revealing | in pantomime the birth and resurrec- tion of Christ. | For example, on Good Friday, three | priests dressed in black, representing | the three Maries, advanced down the _Mave of the vast cathedral, carrying a |cross.

On Easter morning, the priests re- | appeared, uncovered the cavity, and lo, it was empty. The people becoming excited over a | spectacle of this kind, and ever de- |manding more sensation, it gradually became customary to add other short sacred liturgical plays, illustrating |various Bible stories and episodes jin the lives of the saints. The | cathedrals were so crowded on occasions |of this kind that finally the priests | took, still unconsciuosly, a very impor- tant step. They separated the little | drama from the service, giving the mass .in the church, and the little play out- side, in the churchyard. But this, too, attracted enormous crowds, which sometimes behaved in an unseemly fashion. This led inevitably to the next step; the sacred drama was removed from the precincts of cathedral, and given in a convenient | public square.

Last week, which was founders’ week with this firm, an exhibition of paintings was shown in their store which con- tained the works of some well-known American painters. This is along the line of some of the large stores in Chi- cago and elsewhere and is to be heartily encouraged. The present exhibition contains paintings by George Innes, J. Francis Murphy, Carlton Wiggins, Irving Couse, George H. Bogart, W. F. Metcalf and Guy Wiggins. The European paintings were not chosen with appreciation of the best in paintings, but along the lines of the paintings that were popular @ number of years ago and that are illustrative and story telling. It is to be hoped that Moses will have other exhibition of paintings, for the aim is excellent, but along the lines of paint- ings that are more in harnmfony with the best decorations of the American home.

It is women who have been the conserv- ers of home and national traditions. | So profound is this sentiment in women that in this country it has re- | sulted in the formation of great bodles of women, notably the Daughters of the American Revolution, who have as & primary function the preservation for posterity of the glories of the Na- tion’s yesterdays. It was women who saved for the | Nation Mount Vernon, the last and beloved home of George Washington, and restored it to a picturesqueness and beauty unparalleled in historic shrines. The story of how it was res- cued is a historical romance in itself, and ever linked with the names of George and Martha Washington will whose inspiration was the match which set ablaze a flame of patriotism in the hearts of American women and re- sulted in the preservation of this sa- cred spot. In “Mount Vernon on the Potomac,”’ by Grace King (The MacMillan Co., New York), the author has given us a thrilling recital of this incident in American history, a workable knowl- edge of this Washington home and a glimpse into.the formation and objects of the history and formation of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of the Union. A Frenchman, Chevalier de Bacourt, Minister from France to the. United States in 1840. visited Mount Vernon and came away shocked at the air of neglect which pervaded the place. He was a great admirer of George Wash- ington, and he wrote to a friend in his homeland after this visit: “All is as shabby ag possible; the park is grown over with weeds; the house tumbling down; everything dirty and in a mis- erable condition. The whole country ought to do something for a place which gratitude should make sacred in their eyes.” He wrote only too truly. The same story was told in surpriss by foreigners who visited what should have been a shrine of liberty. But a dilatory Con- gress, more interested in the pork bar- rels of that day than in the traditions of the past, no matter how glorious, did nothing about It. One day a woman visitor was to go to Mount Vernon who would view the devastation which had fallen upon it and would not be content to go away and ‘o nothing about it. Like mest great movements, ‘t had as simple a be- ginning as that chance visit of a great- souled woman to pay her respects where slept the Nation's hero dead. In the first chapter the home life of the Washingtons at Mount Vernon and their devotion to _i is charmingly told. History has recorded the love Washing- ton felt-for his Virginia homestead. After his return to it when his Presi- dency was ended and the days of war- fare were far behind.him he wrote: “I am now, I believe, fixed in this seat * © * and I hope to find more happiness in retirement than I ever experienced in the wide and bustling world.” Again is more pleasantly situated; in a high and healthy country, in a latitude be- tween extremes of heat and cold, on one of the finest rivers in the world.” In * iss King’s graphic description we see the general and Mrs. Washington arising at daybreak to begin their varied and useful days. After breakfast, when the general rode away to inspect his farms, she retired fo her bed chamber to spend an hour in prayer and reading her Bible. December, 1799, saw the end of this bucolic idyll. He had lo.ked forward to a serene old age in the home of his heart. But Fate had written otherwise, for he died when barely 67. After the burial Mrs. Washington moved into a small chamber above the larger one which had been his and her own. From its one window she might at all times view his grave. Her spirit seemed broken and, despite the endeavors of friends and relatives, -her grief could not be assuaged. The close companionship and affection of 40 years were too precious to be forgotten or unregretted. All her thoughts were with Washington in the to1ib where he lay. She prayed for the moment to come when she might join him there. In a little more than two years this ‘prayer was granted. She died of a lingering fever, her eyes fixed on the window of the little bedroom which looked down on the grave of the man she had so loved. One memorable evening in 1853 on the Potomac steamboat which passed Mount Vernon, was Mrs. Robert Cun- ningham, of South Carolina. As the boat passed Mount Vernon, the steamer bell began to toll its tribute to the illustrious dead. The neglect and ruin of the old estate deeply affected her, and she wrote a stirring letter to her daughter, Ann Pamela. The author ‘says: “In the soul of Ann Pamela Cun- ‘ningham was the gallant soul of a ‘crusader. Long and severely tested in ithe fiery furnace of affliction, it was ready for any sacrifice. It responded to that maternal letter from the South as tinder to the flame.” Out of that letter came the great movement among the women of the South which even- tually resulted in the consecration of Mount Vernon for a perpetual memo- rial to the incomparable Washington. 'The Charleston Mercury first published iher appeal. The response was im- i'mediate, not only through the South, 'but the North as well. The Mount Ver- non Ladies Association was formed and on April 6, 1858, contracted with John A. Washington, its owner, to buy it for $200,000. On December 9, 1859, the purchase was finally consummated and work on the restoration could then begin. How wonderfully these patriotic women restored Mount Vernon to tits colonial grandeur can be seen by every visitor to that hallowed spot. No pains or money have been spared in the en- deavor, and Miss King tells the story of it with infinite art and appreciation of the underlying motive of it all. One by one many of the historic furnish- ings were returned after being scat- tered for years, until at the present time much of it is as it was in the days when George and Martha Washington lived there.

This book about John Wesley 3s written with a wide vision of the char- acter of this great pioneer along Cer- tain religious paths. The biographer has performed his duty well and shows that he has not only made a study of the great deeds and activities of this man, but has also studied the human characteristics which made them pos- sible. Under the author’s skillful pen Wesley emerges as a very engaging character, enjoying as many human frailties as most other mortals and possessed of undying courage and en- thusiasm for his cause. The appendix contains references to the most important collections of Wesleyana. A photostat transcription of the diary of Grace Murray and John Wesley, under the caption of “AD Amour of the Rev. John Wesley,” 1s printed for the first time in America. There is also included the “Letter to Molly” (his wife) on the subject of their divorce, which has never before been printed in its entirety. CARDINAL MERCIER. By Monsignor A. Laveille, Vicar-General of Meux. (The Century Co., N. Y.) This book will interest Americans who enjoyed the visits of this man, who the author states “is the best loved cardinal that ever lived.” In reading this history of the life of one who made his faith a living thing and his living a record of the power of supreme faith in God, we are certainly inclined to agree with Monsignor Laveille. This student priest and patriot has written his name in the Hall of Fame of the centuries from the time he was Desire Mercier until the day when as cardinal he blessed his church and his nation with his simple wisdom. The record of his rebuff of the invading German hordes and his other triumphs read like fiction. THE SPIDER AND THE FLY. By Clive Arden. (Hobbs Merrill Co., Indiana- polis.) This is a love story built about two modern young people. Both the man and the girl have modern ideas of life but each has their own ideas of what playing the game is. While there is the same deep current of love and ro- mance which has characterized fro- mances of other days the strongly con- trasting personalities makes an inter- esting story of currents and counter- currents of events and reactions, to the various entertaining situations and cir- cumstances the writer so cleverly in- volves them in. There is body and substance to this novel, although every‘one may not ind it interesting. Tllere is no doubt that it will become popular among those. who like something more than mere froth to read. The gripping vitality of the theme combined with the usual type of hero who while romantic has a compelli and sinister attraction for women: a charming sheltered heroine, who tries desperately to replace her innate wor- ship of tin gods with more closely allied to reality makes an attention-arresting book. am not a fruit piece!’ ~~ sented to make changes, and he drew and I drank until I could p the other side of the room. a could still see the banana!

VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS, MEETINGS THIS WEEK. Thursday — Equality-Walter Reed Post, No. 284, Pythian Temple, Saturday — TNT Tent, Cootles, Woodmen’s Hall. eas Department Commander Frank Lock- head is pleased at the progress being made in the organation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Drum and Bugle Corps, and he has placed the entire facilities of his organization at the disposal of the committee that is recruiting this neW auxiliary of the department. Commander Lockhead s determined that the Veterans of For- eign Wars of the District will march in the veterans parade on Memorial Day behind its own musical outfit, and he is bending every effort to realize his aims. Capt. Harvey L. Miller, commander of Front Line Post and cha.man of the department drum corps committee, has reported that eighteen men have already affiliated with the new unit and that this number will be increased to possibly 21 by the end of this week. A regular Army instructor has been secured by Capt. Miller and he will take the boys in hand twice a week, beg:mning shortly. Measure- ments for uniforms will be made at a meeting to be called for a night of the coming week. Recognizing the achievements of the national citizens’ military training camps committee during the year 1928, the natsonal council of administration, meeting recently at Lansing, Mich., voted a vastly increased appropriation for the work during the present year. Capt. James E. Boyer. of Equality- Walter Reed Post, this city, is chair- man of this national committee and has won the vighest commendation from both War Department and Vet- erans Of Fore:gn Wars officials for his efforts in behalf of the training camps. Commander-in-Chief Eugene Carver has appointed the following comrades to act as the central com- mittee of the national] citizens’ mill- tary training camps committee: Gen. Frank T. Hines, Post 264; Gen. John McA. Palmer, Post 284; Maj. Kenneth A. Parmalee, Post 824; Capt. Frank Lockhead, Post 833; Capt. E. E. Hagler, Post 284, and Isaac Gans (honorary), Post 284. There hag been much speculatson among a great many veterans as to the reasons for the rejection of the community chest idea by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the District of Co- lumbia. The community chest was in- vestigated from every angle by a com- mittee of this department and it was only after consideration and much discussion that the councd of admin- istration voted not to become a mem- ber of that chest. Poppy Drive Retained it was brought out that to join the Community Chest meant the discon- tinuation of the Buddy poppy cam- paign that the local] department has conducted in this city for the last seven years and this, more than any other argument, served to sway the counci) against affiliating with the Community Chest. The poppy drive has become & national institution and is the only direct appeal that the V. F. W. makes to the public for funds during the ear. The Buddy poppy is manufac- oe by disabled veterans in Govern- ment hospitals. They are sold through- out the country by the V. F. W. during the week of May 30 to raise funds for relief work among veterans and their families. A percentage of the money derived goes toward the upkeep of the National V. F. W. Home for Widows and Orphans at Eaton Rapids, Mich. This home, the only one of its kind in the United States maintained by a vet- erans’ organization, is the pet project of the Veterans of Foreign Wars throughout the world and every post endeavors to outdo the others in the amount of funds it can contribute through the sale of poppies each year. Another angle brought forward by the council was the sentiment that is atached to the wearing of the beauti- ful little flower on Memorial Day, doing honor to the thousands of their bud- ‘dies who laid down their lives for their country on the fields of Flanders, This splendid tribute to our hero dead should be perpetuated and become as much a part of Memorial Day as that of decorating the graves. Loca] members of the V. F. W. feel certain that the citizens of Washing- ton will be quick to see thelr side of the issue and support them as gener- ously as they have always done. Front Line Post. The executive committee of Front Line Post holds its semimonthly meet- ing tomorrow night at the Roma Res- taurant, 1725 De Sales street. Com- mander Miller urges every member to be present, as several important mat- ters pertaining to the welfare of the post are to be presented at this meet- ing. One is a proposed Front Line smoker with a 100 per cent professional program, to be recruited from the ranks of different shows playing in the city. Twelve new members were admitted to membership in this post at its meeting last Wednesday evening, this number being sufficient to place Front Line Post in fifth place in the standing of posts. This is quite an achievement for the youngest post in the depart- ment and those that know say that it will only be a matter of a short time when this post will be up at the top in numerical strength. At the last scratch of TNT Pup Tent of the Cooties some of the ablest and most well-known members of the V. F. W. became affiliated with the side-de- gree order, the list belng headed Capt. Frank Lockhead, department commander; Capt. Harvey L. Miller, commander of Front Line Post; Com- mander O. E. Hollingsworth, of Na- tional Capital Post and Commander J. E. Campbell, of Equality-Walter Reed Post. The short form of initiation was given these recruits at this meeting in order that the wreckiny crew might have a little more time to determine on the form of initiation these dis- guinshed V. F. W. men should receive before becoming full-fledged Cooties. Every member of TNT now receives a copy of the Front Line Post Barrage once a month, arrangements having been made with the officers of the V, F. W. post io Include a special Codtie section in each issue. The members of the Pup Tent at- tended the boxing show at the Knights of Columbus Hall on the night of Feb- ruary 8, belng the guests of Mr. “Zube” Sullivan, athletic director of the K. C. Cootie. Heinie Miller officiated as ref- eree for the bou's. National Capital Post. National Capital Post 127. Veterans of Foreign Wars, met Monday at Pyth- lan Temple.

Hammond’s Retention Is Urged in Oregon Attempts to pierce the veil of the immediate future, as represented in the coming Hoover administration, ex- tend to conjecture concerning the chief of the militia bureau to be appointed upon the expiration of the term of Maj. Gen. Creed C, Hammond. The Oregon Guardsman is confident that Gen. Hammond will be reappoint- ed and says that more than 40 State guard organizations are lined up for him. Ground for such assurance is to be found In the developments at the recent Hot Springs convention, where an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Gen, Hammond was declared to have been in evidence. The position of chief of the militia bureau is consid- ered as differing greatly from that of chiefs of regular Army branches and for that reason the “one-term” limit should not be applied, Gen. Ham- mond’s friends hold. Praise Found Failure As Effective Reward New York, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—Telling college students that they are “right” or “wrong” proved ineffective in an experiment on the value of these words as an incentive to greater accuracy. The experiment was made at Colum-~ his University Teachers College by Dr. Edward L. Thorndike. Correct answers were rewarded with the announcement “Right,” and errors with “Wrong.” England Now Considers Isle of Wight Tunnel Portsmouth, England, Feb. 16 (A.P.).

BIG PROBLEM IS SOLVED One of the chief problems of the Quartermaster Corps in connection with ARMY ASSIGNMENTS. the blue uniform for the Army, the | provision of a supply of cloth of seven- teen different colors for facings on the uniforms, has been solved. The matter of securing the official | to shades for this facing cloth has caused such a furore among the dealers in yni- forms throughout the country that ar- rangement hag been entered into with a national organization, which makes a business of furnishing standard color charts to the trade, to provide a special color chart for uniforms of the Army. The cooperation of the trade will in- sure all uniforms and trimmings being exactly the same color, no matter whether produced in an expensive taltlor- ing shop on Fifth avenue, New York City, or by a company tailor at one of our isolated posts on the border. The following are the combinations of colors for facings and trimm for the blue uniforms for the different branches of the service: Adjutant General’s Department, dark blue; Air Service, ultramarine blue and golden orange; Bureau of In- sular Affairs, dark blue; Cavalry, yel- low; Chaplains, black; Chemical War- fare Service, cobalt blue and golden yellow; Coast Artillery Corps, scarlet; Corps of Engineers, scarlet and. white; Detached Enlisted Men’s list, green; Field Artillery, scarlet; Finance Depart- ment, silver gray and den yellow; General Staff Corps, gold and black; Infantry, light blue; Inspector Gen- eral’s Department, dark blue and white; Judge Advocate General's De- partment, dark blue and light blue; Medical Department, maroon and white; Militia Bureau, dark blue and scarlet; Ordnance Department, crimson and yellow; Quartermaster buff; Signal Corps, orange and white; Mili- tary Police, yellow and green. Some of these colors in these par-/| Fort ticular fabrics have not been in use since the blue uniform was discarded | Le some years ago, and some branches of the service which have come into ex- istence since the World War, such as the Air Corps, Chemical Warfare Service and the Military Police, have — never used their colors here- ore.

While there are more than 3,000 reservists here. not all are mem- bers of the association. To bring this membership up to 100 per cent, eech committeeman, representing his branch of the reserve, will be the chairman of a recruiting party. The other members of this party will be selected from his own arm of the service. There are now eleven branches re resented on the executive board. t the Thursday meeting it is expected that the members will change the by- laws, so as to permit the election of new members, sufficient in number to represent each and every branch. In this connection, Col. George Weitzell, of the Specialist Reserve, will be: the nominee of his group for this office. Maj. Demonet has received word that 100 reserve officers will constitute the reserve officer group, under Brig. Gen. John Roses Delafield, to parade on March 4. While it is pro to have each State represented in these 100 paraders, obviously some States will not send officers here. The vacancies will be filled by local reserve officers. Those desiring to participate should communicate at once with the head- quarters of the Reserve Officers Asso- ciation, 1653 Pennsylvania avenue, Col, O. Johnson, secretary. On Sunday, March 3, the reserve officers selected to participate will be inspected and re- viewed by an officer of the regular Army. Local reserve officers not receiving notices of the meetings of either the reserve unit of their branch or the Reserve Officers Association have been asked to communicate with Charles Demonet, 1520 Connecticyt avenue northwest. Loud Speaker Replaces Milwaukee Hotel Pages Milwaukee, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—One bell hop and several loud speakers have re- placed pages in a Milwaukee hotel, the Schroeder. The loud speakers are installed in dining rooms, barber shops, banquet halls and all departments of the hotel. When a person is to be paged the lone page plugs in on the speakers and easily performs the task of all of his former coworkers. Recent Disasters Deplete Army.’s Cot and Tent Supply Shortage Is Imminent if More Come Soon; Value of Those Given to People in Distress Put at $2,500,000. (Associated Press.) The United States Army will be faced with a shortage of cots and tents if big disasters come as frequently as they have in the last two years. So many and so heavy have been the demands on the quartermaster’s department to provide shelter for homeless that the supply of coverage and cots is getting low. The quarter- master general is regarded as the store- keeper of the Army, whose duty it is to procure, store and issue most of the supplies. Whenever a big disaster oc- curs, the quartermaster is called upon to rush tents and cots to the scene. Often the supplies are not returned or are so badly worn as to be almost worthless. The years 1927 and 1938 saw the country visited by an unusual number of disasters. For each one the Quarter- mester Corps was called upon to rush sypplies to the stricken area, Army tents sheltered the homeless victims of the St. Louls cyclone, the New Eng- land fiood, the breaking of the St. | Mississippi flood the and the Porto Rico and Florida disasters. The latest cal] for help came from earthquake victims in Venezuela The War Department ordered a special ship to take tents and cots from Panama to the scene of the earthquake. In the Mississippi flood, in which nearly 1,000,000 people were driven from Francis Dam near Los Angeles, their homes, the Quartermaster Corps 8 gave service of inestimable value, turn- ing over large quantities of necessary supplies that could not have been ob- tained in any other way. Col J, 8. Chambers, head of the supply depart- ment, sat in his Washington office with maps of the devastated regions showing the location of each nearby army post and directing the sending of supplies. The total value of the cots, tents, blankets and cooking appliances itis- sued by the Army for this one disaster was over $2,500,000. Thousands of let- ters of gratitude have been received by the War Department from who benefited from this service, j.| John E. Frenc ENSIGN in the auditorium of the Interior | % ter W.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: I fead the letter of “Humanitarian” ‘Thursday morning on the Indian ques- tion, and I wish to make a protest against his stand. I have lived among the Pueblo In- Gians and appreciate their artistic achievements. I, also, am in complete disagreement with the policy of the Indian Bureau, with the forcing of children accustomed to a healthy lack of clothing into Government union suits, with the suppression of primi- tive art expression in favor of “sun- bonnet babies,” with the suppression of tribal customs and ceremonies. Un- fortunately, the Indian is no longer exempt from contact with another civ- ilization and is constantly in contact with that civilization where he is at a tremendous disadvantage because he has no comprehension of the ways of that civilization and its technics. Be- ‘cause of his state of ignorance he is thrown with the lowest classes and he adopts the worse features of the life of his new neighbors intsead of the best. He has given up his coarse, natural foods in favor of the easily pre- pared canned foods—with shocking ef- fects on his health. Witness the wretched condition of the teeth among the Pueblo young peop’s, where many at twenty have not a. sound tooth in their heads. The creative instinct that showed itself in his dances is being killed by the readily accessible canned music and the movies, just as surely as it is being killed in the middle towns the Anglo-Saxon. ane educational policy of the Indian Bureau has made for an artificial isolation that neither helps the In- dian to develop along his own lines no- helps him take his self-respecting equal. The child grows up as a thing apart, learn- ing from books of a civilization that he has no chance to sample and judge for himself, The young people return to their homes despising their own cul- ture, ashamed to take part in their dances, but unable to offer satisfactory substitutes. The Indian boys hang about the poolrooms, halls and lowest dance halis. They have learned to read but have no access to any of the literature that might help them to find themselves. . the Indian, like the primitive way that gives a most in- adequate return for the hard labor in- Pu article by Mr. Luis Bethart ‘n Tuesday's’ ry gg g8 o-oo @ * £ - s ? « > - . turbances. ably become gue.. - That Cuba should slip into anarchy volved.

That Do Not Improve It and Make It Less Effective as Model Form of Government. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: It seems to me that the following points should not be overlooked in passing on the validity of constitutional amend- ments: The constitutional convention had no general authority to legislate. Its functions were limited to the prepara- tion of a form of government and to the definition of the powers of the vari- ous branches of government. It was not its purpose to take up general legis- lation. ; By providing a way to amend the Constitution, it delegated part of its powers as a constitutional convention to the various groups or bodies to’ which it assigned the right to amend | the Constitution, and nothing more., Outside its province of providing a form | of government, it had no legisiative power and delegated none to the bodies endowed by it with the power to amend the Constitution. In fact, section 1 of article I of the Constitution reads: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States which shall consist of a Senate and | House of Representatives.” No legis- | future outside the scope of strictly constitu- | ers granted by the Constitution were | vested in a Congress of the United States. If the above points are well taken, i' would seem therefore that a law hav- ing no direct relation to our form of government, passed by the machinery established for constitutional amend- ment, could have no force whatever as an amendment to the Constitution or as a legal provision. If the manufacture of oleomargarine was restricted by constitutional amend- ment, it would seem that such restric- tion, being outside the province of constitutional amendment, could not be held legal; and for the same rea- son such a provision could not be re- garded as forming a part of the Cof- stitution. Even the power to amend the body of the Constitution is limited by the pro- vision that no State shal] be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate with- out its consent. The power to amend the Constitu- tion, it should be noted also, might not unreasonably be held not to be a grant of power to make changes that would mar the Constitution or make it a less perfect instrument. As guardians of the Constitution, it would seem that the courts would be justified in considering it their duty to purge the Constitution of the so- called amendments that do not improve it, but only render it less effective as a model form of government. HARRISON T. C. SMITH Corwith, Iowa, February 10. Smoke Nuisance in Capital Goes on Unchecked Though Violation of Law, Writer Says, Police Be- _ing More Busy Over Less Harm- ful Infractions of Law—Wash- ington Injured Is Becoming In- tolerable to Live In. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: May I suggest that there are more impor- tant things to a city’s residents than an obscure dice game running some- where in an obscure fiat, or a small flask peddler selling a pint of whisky? These things are pounced upon with eagle eyes by guardians of the law, although they harm or concern only the participants. Meanwhile, most flagrant violations of the law are openly going on un- checked which are injuring the health and damaging the property of the en- tire community. I refer to the soft- coal smoke nuisance. On every side can be seen chimneys belching forth dense clouds of black, olly smoke, cov- ering our walls with grime, obscuring the sun and breeding flu conditions. I believe that the Department of Health is doing valiant work in trying to cope with this growing evil, but I am told that only the smoke inspec- tors are available, who ere overtaxed, and the cooperation of citizens and or- ganizations is strongly needed in re- porting offenders, who are subject to substantial fines. Is it true that retail business in Washington is poor because our win- ter tourist trade is falling off and wealthy residents are closing up their homes and moving away? One hears this on every hand. Then it would | seem very important for the Chamber of Commerce to look into the reason, and 1 think they would find a close connection in the fact that Washing- ton is rapidly losing its reputation as a beautiful city—a fit setting for wealth and leisure—and taking on the unin- viting appearance of a factory town. I hope The Post will open its col- umns to other expressions of opinion on this subject, which seems vital to all residents. MRS.

THE PENDULUM BEGINS ITS SWING TO FILMS THAT SING By NELSON B. BELL T requires the possession of no great clairvoyant faculty to forecast that the audible screen’s next bid for wide public acclaim will be through the medium of the recorded musical comedy, operetta or revue. This new development is likely to result in some pretty G : *@well entertainment for both the eye and the ear and I for one am’ *Rappy to report that the trend in the general direction of spectacle and “music already is discernible to eyes that have long been eagerly await- Sang it. me While the all-talking screen play is still offering only vague and in- “tangible suggestions of the perfection it may confidently be relied upon sto attain in course of time, the novelty of sustained dialogue already has ‘begun to abate and mediocrity to pall. The better of the conversational etelluioids are exerting a definite and deep appeal to patrons of the “inema, but those that fall short of at least some remote approximation “of realism, if not reality, even now have no place in the scheme of things »arranged for himself by the average picture devotee. The considerable degree of effectiveness that has been achieved in the production of short*reel subjects in which musical sequences have been introduced have, I presume, encouraged the pioneers in this new rami- fication of the industry to take seriously the obvious potentialities of the silver sheet as a source of melodious entertainment that can be indefinite- ly presented without the corresponding continuance of what otherwise would be a prohibitive overhead cost. So far it has worked with reason- able, if not entire, success. It is this that has persuaded me that there is imminent an interval! of tainefulness in the picture theaters the like of which has never before been seen. My only surprise is that the innova- tion, if it may be called that, has been so long in getting systematically under way. _ The novelty of the canned cantatas, as.a matter of fact, is not of such recent origin as is popularly supposed. That is why I hesitate to term the development an innovation. Among the first of the Vitaphone short- reels i remember having seen was one projected at the Metropolitan “when that was the only theater in the Cap:tal wired for the presentation @f audible screen entertainment... It closely adhered to the form and content of the accepted tabloid revue and was originated, staged and ex- “tensively participated in by Will Morrissey and Midgie Miller. There Rave been many similar offerings on many different bills in many differ- @nt picture houses since that time to pave the way for the frst of the “full ke musicals now becoming prevalent among the’prosperous es- tablishments addicted to pioneering. ~ cal nr “ SOOREMOST in the brief list of recorded musical productions so far submitted for public approval, “The Desert Song,’’ a Warner Bros. Vitaphone rendition of the popular operetta of the same name, placed @pon the boards by Schwab and Mandel, and “The Broadway Melody,” a ‘Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer release, have perhaps attracted the widest general interest. Both have been superlatively acclaimed and their completion | ‘Was served to clear away one or two of the persistent legal hindrarices | that Rave seemed to envelop this branch of film endeavor. 3 Be settling an injunction suit brought in the West by Lillian Albert- . rom who, it is to be learned from Variety, is Mrs. Louis 0. Macloon, the court decided that any talker version of a stage production is not to be deemed an infringement on the stage rights of the play. “The Desert - Song” happened to be the property. in controversy. Miss Albertson had -gned Schwab and Mandel, all the authors and composers concerned in . the work and the Warner Brothers for infringement of stage rights in the West, and it was upon appeal from the origina! decision handed down * tm that case that it was held by the court that a talking-picture pro- _ ditetion is not to be construed as competition with a stage production ofthe same play. ‘The significance of this ruling is obvious. In view of the newness of the. articulate screen, it is held to establish a precedent upon which ‘many similar future cases may be decided. It opens two markets to the | Owser of the theatrical property. He can sell stage rights in virgin Ee, i and motion picture rights in the same territory without con- Met or restriction as between the two. The variance in : oe levied by the two forms of amusement raises a serious question. at Teast in the mind of the owner of the stage rights. ie ‘However, the decisidn simplifies the problem of the producer anxious | ‘@ translate stage successes into similarly valuable assets for the sound fevices.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN THESE DAYS—AND FREQUENTLY DOES| ALEING pictures, long-distance telephone, airplanes—and an ac- tor who would rather hunt ducks than eat—recently figured in one of the most interesting incidents that hag come out of Hollywood, where the un- usual is always happening. Roland West, famous motion picture producer and director, was completing his latest United Artists film, “Alibi,” an all-dialogue thriller, based on the stage success, “Nightstick.” Al] but a few scenes had been shot, and several memberg of the company, which in- cludes Chester Morris, Eleanor Grif- fith, Pat O’Malley, Mae Busch, Harry Stubbs, Purnell 3B. Pratt, Regis Toomey, Irma Harrison, James Brad- bury, jr.. Kernan Cripps, Elmer Bal- lard, Al Hill and De Witt Jennings, were leaving om vacations after more than two months’ work before the Cameras and microphones. Stubbs, veteran New York stage ac- tor. who is making his film debut in “Alibi,” Iikes to hunt. He had anxious- | ‘ly been awaiting the completion of “Alibi,” so he could go duck hunting. Informed by West that he would no longer be needed at the studio, Stubbs packed his guns and joyously started for a hunting lodge near San Francisco. He bagged the limit the first day and was preparing to spend a few days in San cisco when the studio communicated with him by long-distance telephone. “Your vacation is off,” West con- fided. “We need you for two more scenes. We’re shooting now, and your voice must be heard, But you do not appear on the screen in this particu- lar action, because you are supposed to be talking just out of camera range. Speak your lines into the telephone. We'll make a connection with the microphone, and solve the problem. Then hop into an airplahe and hurry back for another scene in which you must both be seen and heard.” And that’s the way Stu doubled for himself in one scene of “Alibi,” al- though he was 500 miles away from the studio at the time. FANNIE BRICE AT LAST PUTS SELF IN FILM Fannie Brice is sending theater au- diences throughout the country into hysterics in “My Man,” her first talk- ing picture. For years, in musical comedy, or on the vaudeville stage, she has been doing the same. There are other people who go through strange physical contortions to get laughs. Fannie Brice’s antics are quite her own, nobody can duck, or wiggle, or grimace, or discover a refractory finger with such surefire deftness as she. In- dian feathers are but secondary aids, as are the floating veils and wreath of the ludicrous travesty on the “Spring Song.” They are but the trappings and the sults of the jester. What is Fannie’s secret? One inkling of the secret no doubt comes from the fact that she is a born mimic; another in the fact that she has studied humanity all her life. the odd quirks of gesture and dress and expression—but the best one yet sug- a to whem any olles language than melody and pan-| gested is the fact that she really likes ‘folks. Her imitations never have a touch of bitterness They are genial, | understanding, compassionate! But above all there is in Fannie Brice the mothering instinct, She was starred in “The Music Box Revue” for two years, and was afterward presented by David Belasco as the star of a dra- matic play called “Fanny,’ which was written for her. But she had for years resisted the importunities of film producers, who saw in her a most successful screen ac- tress. It was not until Warner Bros. had perfected the Vitaphone and were able to present the songs of Fannie Brice as an integral part of her pic- tures that she capitulated. So now the inimitable Fannie, star of vaudeville, star of musical comedy, star of drama, has also become a star of the screen—the talking screen—and will be seen and heard this week at Crandall’s Metropolitan Theater in the latest Warner Bros. Vitaphone special, “My Man.” NAVAL ACADEMY AFFORDS SCENE OF FINE DRAMA Screened almost wholly at, and in the vicinity of, the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Pathe’s new pic- ture, “Annapolis,” featuring John Mack Brown, Hugh Allan, Jeanette Loff and William Bakewell, is to be seen cur- rently at the Earle Theater. It is a production that is sure to delight fans and pack theaters everywhere. It is not packed with parades of battleships, smoke screens and naval maneuvers, ‘but deals with the daily lives of naval}:. en and is a human interest 1 the way through. midshi story The picture was directed with intel- | ligemce and taste by Christy Cabanne, himself a graduate of the United States Naval Academy.

Pease, of the depart- ment of English of the academy. It is dramatic, thrilling and has that gripping quality which holds the atten- tion from start to finish. Four screen players of popularity and tation are featured in the leading oles. They are John Mack Brown, Hugh Allan, Jeanette Loff and William Bake- well.

The immensé amount of research data necessary before work could be started on such a large production was gleaned from files of newspapers pub- lished during the days of the greatest gold rush and northern trek that the world has ever seen. Romantic tales of this rush were cast aside. Tales of “old-timers” who ticipated in the northern expeditions were found by Director Clarence Brown to be at variance with each other. But—dally newspapers, with crisp accounts of events in the Klon- dike, Alaska and the Yukon; with preparations in the Untied States for making the trip—these proved abso- lutely authentic. In fact, even the — col- umns contributed information t was from such columns that labels of cans and packages of dehydrated vegetables, tinned foods and other supplies sold for the Klondike outfits were repro- duced as picture “props.” The basis of research for “The Trail of 98” was found in old files of the San Francisco Chronicle, the one file which miraculously escaped the great San Prancisco fire of 1906 by being in the vault of the home of the pub- lisher—a home on the outskirts of the city and a short distance from the area swept by the flames. These files completely covered this great event. “It took six months of intensive search to find what people used for buttons when ‘Scaramouche’ was filmed,” says Director Brown. “It took only ten minutes’ search in advertis- ing columns of the old newspapers to reproduce with fidelity the costumes of the gold seekers in 1897-98, the {a- bels of their tobacco, dried beef, dried vegetables, powdered milk and other sup lies. e rigged the packs from actual newspaper descriptions; chose the dogs from them, and authentically repro- duced the principal people who par- ticipated in the rush. “No one knows exactly what Julius Caesar looked like—or Robespierre— but we had no trouble reproducing ‘Salvation Jim,’ Clarence Barry, or any of the other famous characters of the gold rush times. . Their pictures were in the papers.” The added attractions will include a Metro-Movietone act, by Johnny Mar- vin, star of Victor records, in musical novelties, the Fox Movietone News, the M-C-M News and the Columbia Or- chestra, under the direction of Claude Burrows. YOUNG SCREEN PLAYER PLAYS A SAFE HUNCH If you had $100,000 handed to you on your twenty-first birthday, what would you do with it? Would you be sensible enough to buy an annuity, which requires $75,000 to pay it out? Would you tle up your salary for three years to go into the annuity? | ‘That is what Russel Gleason did last week. Smart boy, that. son of James Gleason, the autnor, producer and star of the stage. Russel signed a three-year contract with Pathe on his twenty-first birth- day. He stepped to the telephone and called the New York Life Insurance Co. and gave them an order for the policy of $75,000. And yet they say those actors are not business-like. “I left Berkeley College to work in pictures,” says young Gleason. “Some- day, I hope to complete my education. To be certain of that, I tied up my salary so I can not spend it. Invest- ments in real estate and stock are all right for a business man, but not an amateur like me. I took a sure way of saving mine.” Fannie Brice in “My Man” —Metropolitan.

FOX NOVELTIES ENLIVEN WEEK’S ENTERTAINMENT In real life Victor McLaglen, Fox film star, has circled the globe three times. In “reel” life the he-man screen star has made more than a dozen cir- cuits of the globe. “Captain Lash,” his latest opus for Fox, now being shown at the local Fox Theater, finds him still traveling, but this time he merely makes the journey from Sydney, New South Wales, to Singapore in his capacity as fifth engi- neer on an ocean liner. It might be adhering to precedent to write that the picture company visited those two ports during the filming of the picture, but that is neither true nor possible. On the other hand, every scene is a studio scene, a tribute to the modern trend of pictures and the facili- ties the Fox Studios, both in Hollywood and Westwood Hills, afford. Not alone are streets leading to the docks in Sydney and Singapore faith- fully reproduced, but a replica of an ocean liner was constructed, as well as @ replica of a famous cabaret in Sin- *"herhaps the most artistic of all the settings is an exterior of a home in Singapore, and likewise the interior, while a set that occupied the greater part of the mammoth stage at the studio revealed the most striking scene, it is geaid, ever constructed within the confines of a motion picture studio. It represents the stokehole of a liner, and as reproduced on the screen defies even the slightest bit of criticism as to its authenticity. As an added feature, Fox Movietone is presenting the first condensed musi- cal comedy that is all-talking, all- singing and all-dancing. It has Lois Moran, the demur Fox star, in a role that will be the biggest surprise ever to Fox patrons; and Clark and McCul- lough, two comedians who have been seen not only in musical comedy, but on the stage and screen of the Fox. There aré 60 people in the cast and the production is pronounced to be a radically new departure that is not only mechanically perfect, but an ex- cellently done musical comedy. - The stage portion of the program will be another of the Fox presentations, this time “Broadway Frolics,” with the usual assemblage of entertaining stars of Manhattan fame selected individu- ally for the local engagement.

ASTHER OF MALMO, SWEDEN A former European screen star, only 27 years old, who has been in the United States less than a year and al- ready has made his mark in eight mo- tion pictures, briefly describes Nils Asther, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player, intimate friend of Sarah Bern- hardt, first civilian to be invited to Soviet Russia after the Werld War and Hollywood’s newest man of mystery. Asther, who has the leading male role opposite Greta Garbo in “Wild Orchids,” a new picture with synchro- nized score and sound effects, which is now playing at Loew’s Palace, was born at Malmo, Sweden, the son of wealthy parents, who had destined rim for the diplomatic service. From his youth he was of a solitary, sensitive temperament and his ambi- tion was to act. As a boy of 14 he spent weeks at a time all alone, except for his two dogs, on an island owned by his family off the. coast of Sweden. At the age of 16 his father sent him to the Royal Academy of Stockholm only to have the boy return home a few weeks later with the announcement that he had forsaken the diplomatic service and intended to be an actor. Despite threats of being disowned, As- ther refused to return to the academy and instead went to a dramatic school in Copenhagen. Graduating, he played several roles and attracted the atten- tion of Mauritz Stiller, the great Swed- ish director, who gave him the leading role in a Swedish picture. In 1922 he was invited to Russia, where he spent two months as guest of the Soviets, meeting Lenine and Trot- sky, and advised them on stage and motion picture activities. Returning to Berlin, he made a com-~ edy entitled “He and the Women,” which attracted the attention of Joseph Schenck and resulted in an offer being extended to the actor to come to Holly- wood. Asther is 6 feet tall, weighs 170 pounds and has black hair and eyes. He is regarded as one of the most promising screen newcomers of the last year. On the stage Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators are presented in “Varieties of 1929,” a fast-moving revue staged by Dave Gould. In it are fea- tured Johnny Perkins, the heavyweight comedian; Six Lucky Boys in acrobatic novelties; Cunningham and Clements, ballroom dancers; Miss Lewis, vocalist, and the Dave Gould Girls. Added attractions inolude the Palace Orchestra, under the direction of Harry Borjes; the Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News, short subjects and Charles Gaige at the conagle.

The young lady is Mexican, 19 and unmarried, and she has a_ colored chauffeur named Narcissus, a cat named Clara and a Mexican halriess dog named Hot Stuff.

Miss would bring the Mexican girl out ag the hand and tell the audience, “Watch this little girl. She’s a comer.” Back in Mexico City they knew about the girl, for she had been prom- inent in the cast of “Ha-Ta-Plan,” a musical comedy. Her English had been acquired at the Convent of Our Lady of the Lake, San Antonio, Tex. Her mother, Josephine Villalabos, was an opera singer; her father, a colonel in the regular army of Mexico. Lupe herself was born July 18, 1909, in San Luls Potosi, suburb of Mexico City. Harry Rapf, motion picture execu- tive, was responsible for the first screen test given Lupe Velez. It was highly successful, and so was her performance at a benefit for Los Angeles traffic po- licemen. Hal Roach, picture comedy producer, put her in a short subject. Then Douglas Fairbanks cast her as his leading woman in “The Gaucho.” The brothers and sisters in Mexico— Emiglio, Queenle and Josephine—cele- brated. When “The Gaucho” had its premiere at the United Artists Theater in Los Angeles, Lupe Velez appeared on the stage, sang Raquel Meller’s “La Violetera,” and danced all over the place. That year she became a Wam- pas Baby Star and a United Artists con- tract player.

BELIEVE IT OR _NOT, IT MAY BE A GENIAL FAKE A lot of people laugh at the idea of luck, but not Carol Lombard. She wears a slave bracelet on her left wrist which she says she wouldn’t re- move for love or money. There’s ¢« reason. It was given to her at a time when every thing in her life seemed to be going wrong. She had made a good start in motion pictures, only to b laid up for several months by an auto- mobile accident. Then when she rr covered there was a slump in studio activities, and the girl who is con- sidered by many to be the most beauti- ful blonde of the screen couldn't get even a day’s work. But the day after she was given the bracelet she got ; small part in a picture. She has worn it constantly ever since, except for ¢ period of three months, “During that time,” says Carol, “J didn't get any work at all. But the day I put it back on my wrist I was selected for a part in ‘Power.’ Then I played in ‘Show Folks’ and ‘Ned McCobb’s Daugh- ter,” and negotiations were begun for a contract. I wore that bracelet day and night until the contract was signed. I wouldn't face a camera without it.

Scores of “experts” contend that older players, long since passed by the movie procession, will come back with a bang—and that voice excellences will displace the lure of a perfect figure or a nifty profile. Others contend that the public demands youth—and will demand it just as strongly in the new “talkies.” Willard Mack, stage playwright, now making his own “Voice of the City” as an M.-G.-M, talkie, says, “The public don’t care how old a player is, if that player can maintain the illusion of youth. Scores of actors who look their age in silent pictures will come to their own in talkies. With the magic of a trained voice their personalities will overcome the disadvantages of a chang- ing physical appearance; disadvantages that have never meant a thing to stage Stars. As an example you will recall John Drew, playing romantic leads at 50 and over.”. The opinion of Cecil De Mille, cre- ator of Gloria Swanson, Bebe Dan- lels and other stars, is that “Youth is the greatest*'commodity of the mo- tion picture. We shall have to supply it in talkies just as we have done in the silent films.” Fred Niblo, director of “Ben-Hur,” says, “We still need youth, but youth ‘must be more intelligently alert than in the past. It is very obvious that a pretty and young face must be sup- ported by a clever brain.” Summing up these opinions it could be said, “Come to the playground of youth—but bring your brains with you.” 4 f SHBACKS AND FADEOUTS Richard Barthelmess, who is now en- joying an extended vacation, is en route to Mexico City.

Lon Chaney is not only a man of a thousand faces, but as many weights. In his new picture, “Where East Is East,” he is playing a man fully 50 pounds heavier than he is. It’s done by lines of costume and by carriage and deportment, strangely enough, in- stead of paddirig. Once Chaney played a man of-fully 200 pounds, but in this case he built his anatomy up with plastic materials. running to _ 100K, Here every third person in the crowd seems to have a} sort of business in- terest in the blaze. § When the huge new sound-stage at Paramount burned recently camera men rushed to the scene from all parts of the studio area Some, of course, were newsreel men, likely to be seen at | any big fire any- where.

The very studio which was threat- ened with destruction had three cam- eras grinding on the fire, and when it was over the studio stock-shot library was richer by 2,500 feet of celluloid ex- citement just as valuable as if the building had been a costly set, specially built to be burned. One camera man tried shooting straight up the side of the building toward the blazing roof, a piece of lens technique that added to the stock-shot library a perfect imitation of a prairie fire—certain to come in handy some day.

Perhaps the most unique of fire profi- teers is a scenarist who was building a freak house out of pieces of sets and other movie souvenirs.

The film folk who attended the open- ing, the picture was of more than usual interest, not only because it was the first full-length singing-screen effort by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, but because it meant the screen debut of Charles King, New York musical com- edy star, and the screen “comeback” of Bessie Love, who years ago was an Oout- standing figure in silent drama. Bessie Love and Anita Page play the Mahoney sisters, Hank and Queenie, a song-and-dance team, while King is Eddie, the Follies star who gets them their opportunity to dazzle Broadway— if they can. In the beginning Eddie and Hank are engaged to be married, but the outcome is the marriage of Eddie and Queenie. The struggle of these three to remain loyal to one an- other, and the final sacrifice of Hank, provide the emotional confilct which Harry Beaumont in his direction con- tinually contrasts with song-and-dance gayety. Song and Drama. King’s voice introduces th. principal songs, but Miss Lowe, as the self-sacri- ficing older sister, has the chief emo- tional role.

FOOT LIGH TS AND SHADOWS By; N the morrow, the National Theater Players take up the burden “Eee” street. This is an unprecedented early opening. In all the history of local .. companies—and Washington is the home of the repertoire company, or *.so it seems—there is no record of an organization holding fast to one -gtage here for more than four or five months. Yet, if all goes well, ~ there is an excellent opportunity for the National Theater Players to * continue in their playhouse until the opening of the next regular season **=-~if there is to be another regular season—away up in September, nearer ~“ October. As a rule, the regular theatrical season, hereabouts, runs from Sep- tember until June. The National Theater Players come in four months -* ahead of time and when they leave is in the laps of the gods. This may _ . be the start of a year-round company. ' oe ae Se ITH the National Theater Players keeping the lights bright abaft the Avenue, and the Savoy Musical Comedy company cavorting - ».on the stage of the Belasco, with visiting stars, ‘nd everything, what "remains of the winter holds no terrors whatsoever. Poli’s continues to "entertain road attractions and tonight plays host to a perennial visitor — ‘Rose Marie.” *Twas in September, 1924, five years ago, almost, that “Rose Marie’”’ first swooped down upon the Capital. After its baptism at Atlantic City, _and with a stop or two on the way, the novelty operetta—it was then— --@€ame to Poli’s for what might be termed its last stand before Broadway. ‘+’ Bo well was “Rose Marie’’ received by Washingtonians that it broke the , ' Rouse record. Back each year, sometimes twice in one season, it still + continues to draw huge crowds—and Mr. T. D. Bonneville, manager of : ..Poli’s, passes on the information that since its first presentation here ~" “Rose Marie”’ has made $3,000,000 for its producer, Arthur Hammer- ‘stein. And here we are still watching the wheels of government go “pound. : _. When “Rose Marie” gets under way at Poli’s this time it will step “into its fifth week on the Avenue. To date, it has been seen here 38 _ performances. On the road, long runs distinguished this unusual musi- yal play. In New York it played 681 consecutive performances at the “ “*Imperial Theater. It remained there two years. In its various engage- ments in Cincinnati, ‘Rose Marie” played twelve weeks; eighteen weeks a7 in Detroit; ten in Montreal; ten in Cleveland; fourteen in Pittsburgh, . and ten in Toronto. In Paris, it will soon celebrate its one thousandth performance. According to Mr. Bonneville, a feature of the London engagement is the fact that “Rose Marie’’ was the first musical show _»,,@ver to have played at the famous old Drury Lane Theater. When it is -» _ Tecalled that the Drury Lane Theater has been in existence some 300 “years, and more, this is quite an honor. There were those, of course, . ~rwho resented a musical comedy stepping on a stage so saturated with * ‘memories of great dramatic actors and actresses of the past. By run- -.vening two years, ‘“‘Rose Marie”’ sort of soothed the wounded spirits, so to ve ‘speak. It paid off the heavy indebtedness on the theater, declared two “enormous dividends, and left $150,000 balance in the treasury. At this tate, “Rose Marie’ ought to be rather a revered name in dear old ~ ,Lunnon, especialy around Drury Lane. ee % ” > . HE lost return. It wag only a week or so ago that someone came tl in to ask what had become of Guy Bates Post. Shortly after that, ." ~One of the reporters from the city room walked in, and an old-timer Temarked: “There’s a second for Guy Bates Post.” Now comés word from Herbert Standing, the English actor turned +: ” Producer, that Guy Bates Post, absent from American boards since “4918, will play the title role in a revival of “‘A Message From Mars,’’ -,..probably this spring on Broadway. °< Im his absence from this country, Guy Bates Post has bese on tour M oes Australia, South Africa and England, playing all the while only one ; «6 play, “The Masquerader.” Before his departure for world sports, Mr. _.,-Post had won the enviable record of 959 succeasive performances on a ivesdway when he enacted the role of Omar Khayyam in “Omar the “‘Ateatmaker. ” That run lasted in the Lyric Theater from 1914 through « 1916. Some of the other noted successes Mr. Post played are ‘“‘Leab wns ” with Mrs. Fiske; “‘Tess of the Urbervilles,”’ “Hedda Gabler,” “The Heir to the Hoorah” and “Paid in Full.” oe A ~ 7 INCE Mr. Guy Bates Post holds no exclusive rights to “A Message From Mars,” it might be that the National Theater Players will revive the play here this summer. There is one man in the company who could play the Post role; that is Charles Hampden. In fact, he, too, somewhat resembles Guy Bates Post—speaking of resemblances. - “A Message From Mars” was first staged in the old Avenue Theater , in London away back in 1889—just 40 years ago. Thirteen years after its original presentation, the English actor, Sir Charles Hawtry, took a “Hiking to this old comedy vehicle and with it appeared alternately in London and New York, season after season. ~the play sometimes ran through two seasons. It Once remained at the — Theater for 544 performances and was then transferred to the - Prince of Wales Theater where it continued to run two years more. The day of revivals, it will be interesting to see how Broadway receives a return of Guy Bates Post in this old play. If it goes well in Gotham it might also make a ten stroke on the banks of the Potomac. _ . ~ 7 < i ov CCORDING to the advance couriers, the’National Theater Players ‘f \ intend to recall some of the celebrated old works of the American *~Theater. Three outstanding plays named are: “The Girl of the Golden __West, “ “The Virginian” and “The Old Homestead.” < Not in two decades, or thereabouts, has any one of these plays been Seeen in Washington. “The Girl of the Golden West” played the Belasco Theater back in the early 1900s, with Henry Miller and Blanche Bates in the two important roles. ‘The Virginian” was seen at the -National Theater along about 1905 or 1906, and “The Old Homestead”’ bhas not been seen here since the beloved Denman Thompson came through with it many years ago. Any one of these three plays would elicit interest from the old-time theatergoers, it seems to me. There is a fascination about a revival that does not go with the enactment of a new play; probably because of the “memories evoked, certainly because it gives human beings a chance to reminisce, one of the joys of living for the old-timers. , eer” we ti | ; ft O.. their ministry at the old stand on what is some times called | Cleo M ay- field and Cecil Lean in “No, No, | Nanette” —Belasco V MK GUEST STARS IN “NANETTE” AT BELASCO Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield, as guest stars, in their original roles in “No, No, Nanette,” is Charles Emerson Cook’s outstanding offering at stock prices at the Belasco Theater, begin- ning this evening. “No, No, Nannette” has played here before, but never with Mr. Lean and Miss Mayfield. From the six original and touring “Nanette” companies which swept the world like a carnival of merriment for the past few seasons, Impressario Cook has selected for his cast at the Belasco the outstanding personalities who added fame to what has been called the perfect musical comedy. Mr. Cook, by the way, was associated with H. H. Frazee from the very beginning of “Nanette’s” production and is said to be largely responsible for its over- whelming popularity. . Virginia Marvin, who made a hit in the Savoyard’s initial offering at the Belasco, is returning to sing and dance the title role in her own exquisite way Billy in many large cities.

E, Cochran, As their first offering, the players will present Edwin Burke’s comedy, “This Thing Called Love.” A hit in New York from the very utset, “This Thing’ Called Love” is still enjoying an extensive run in Chi- cago. The National Theater Players, through a friendship of their manage- ment with the New York producers, enjoy the distinction of being the first repertoire company to have the privi- lege of playing this comedy in stock. Its theme has to do with a young girl, who, seeing her sister's marriage go on the rocks, decides that there. will be no such blight in her life. So she makes an arrangement with the man who proposes to her that obliterates all love making. Human nature be- ing what it is, however, the two fall ‘in love—and then the trouble begins. | Edwin Burke, before he wrote his full-length play, “This Thing Called Love,” was for many years the ‘leading contributor of one-act sketches to the vaudeville stage.

In planning “Rose Marie,” Arthur Hammerstein broke away from the rou- tine of musical comedies and prepared a piece that was different in its gen- eral arrangement and details from start to finish. All the action takes place in Canada, and for the first time the Dominion is seen translated into the language and settings of operetta. The authors have written a consistent play with scenes placed in Saskatchewan, in the Kootenay, and itn Quebec. There is a murder early in the play, and, of course, the hero is blamed. It is the first time in the history of musical comedy that such an unusual scene has been written into dialogue.

By WILLIAM ULLMAN. ~ ES begins to look as if the automo- ‘tive industry were in for the most Jeverish year in its history in other Respects than merely trying to turn @ut millions of cars. _ While the current season, by tra- Mition, is the one in which rumors Bloom at their best, the past never has uced them in the quantity and the _@ize achieved by those of 1929. At the present moment, only the smallest per- Gentage of the rumors now rampant “would have to materialize to make the current twelve months a period of al- most sensational developments. By way of illustrating the scope of gome of the current prophecies, one might cite the conviction of many that a car old in name and good in reputa- tion is about to fold its tent and tly steal out of the picture. On of those who should know, the report meets with an emphatic and an immediate denial. But the rumor, like &@ majority, persists. Current alsoin gatherings of automo- tive men is the belief that a company “which puts out a variety of products significan ably one fig about to reduce the number quite tly.

It would not be prevented. The rumor barrage would take care of one situation within the industry that has been puzzling to many persons for several years. It would change the state of affairs with regard to the fail- ure of the manufacturers of several medium priced, whole series of cars of multi-cylinder engines. With the trend toward eight-cylinder engines so pronounced during the last four years, resulting today in 38 dif- ferent lines of multi-cylinder cars, it has been a. source of endless surprise that so many of the well known sixes continued in that state. There was a break in the line-up last year, and sev- eral were expected in this year’s na- tional automobile shows. There were several new eights, but the line of pop- ular six producers remained unchanged save in one case where the car was of- fered with optional engine choice. One of these companies this spring will introduce a new car, an entirely new model that everyone expects to be an eight in the medium price bracket. This gesture is expected to be the break in the dam through which others of the stand-pats will pass. Switch Is Discounted. Down among the four-cylinder cars Speculation is rampant, but even the most radical of the prophets is keeping from saying a word that later might be turned against him. Some are in- clined to see a great deal of signifi- cance in the one change that occurred here. As to its effect upon competing products, others discount the switch entirely. The evidence of the last few years has clearly shown the industry to be capable of making changes almost over- night. The cost of introducing a new or revised model undoubtedly is high, ‘but apparently it has been found to be fully justified. At least, very few show an unwillingness to switch when the laboratory produces some development considered of sales merit. By way of iltustrating just how far this is carried, the manufacturer of a popular-priced six last year closed his plants to retool for a slightly changed car just at the height of the selling season. The change—in the engine— was believed to make the product more salable. Accordingly, it was made de- spite the fact that the car was riding on the crest of a popularity wave. The old fetish of believing that to give the public a sense that some change might be nade in ‘© car was to hamper the sale of present models is passing in many quarters of the in- dustry. It is now accepted that each car represents the greatest dollar value ever offered, and the public buys this car purely on its merit and with no particular fear that it will be rendered obsolete or antedated. Changes con- tinue, for the most part, to be in the nature of refinements. Looking at the total industry and not at any specific product, it is interesting to speculate just what the picture will be at the end of 1929. Apparently, one man’s guess is as good as another's. ‘Mew impressive features of the 1929 on of motor cars continue to come to light.

Designers apparently will go on argu- ing the merits of the vacuum tank and the gasoline pump for some time. Usually, though, they discuss it from one point of view or the other. A mid- die ground is pursued by Auburn and Buick, however, in that they employ both devices to bring the fuel from the gasoline tank to the carburetor. e . we Over in England, they do not “clean carbon and grind valves” as we do on this side of the Atlantic. Their ex- pression is “decarbonize.” The British expression becomes a part of the ter- minology that will henceforth be used by owners of Chrysler 80s. One of the unusual features of these cars are their automatic decarbonizers. * . 2 In bringing the average compression ratio up to 5 to 1, the bujlders of motor cars have made a change that has escaped attention. Higher com- pression means higher loads and to carry them, bearings, crankshafts, con- necting rods and other engine parts have been increased in size and more closely balanced. > . .

Official Sees Much to Be Gained Through Mu- tual Helpfulness. COACH PROGRESS GREAT Joint studies should be carried on by representatives of the railroad and automotive industries to find the an- swer to numerous pressing problems which are of mutual interest to both groups. This was emphasizezd recently by Coker F. Clarkson, general manager of the Society of Automotive Engineers, in an address before the motor trans- port division of the American Railway Association. “The original development of the railroads,” Mr. Clarkson pointed out, “was due largely, if not entirely, to the fact that at the time there was no suit- able equipment or road system for large-scale highway transportation. Now we have equipment suitable for handling much highway and, because of its various advantages, utilization of it is growing rapidly throughout the world. We are entering now the phase of great highway trans- portation systems. Scores of railroads are Operating motor coache. over hun- dreds of routes aggregating tens of thousands of miles. They are using thousands of motor trucks, tractors and trailers. This movement also has only begun. “The proper work to be done by road vehicle and by rail equipment, respec- tively, remains to be settled. The con- dition is one of marked change, J it was when railroad development be- gan. And it is just as true today as it ever was that, for efficient operation of any form of t on, physical environment must be studied, as well as equipment and management, operat- ing and maintenance practices. “For several years the Society of Automotive Ehgineers has maintained activities concerned specifically with road-transport problems. Many hun- dreds of the society members di- rectly interested in motor-vehicle fleet operation, maintenance and service. ey have organized their own division to work on problems relating to motor- vehicle cost determination, man-power in the shop and in the field, accessory equipment, research, standardization and governmental regulations, so far as they involve engineering features. The society as a whole is constituted of men engaged throughout the world in the design, production, operation and main- tenance of motor vehicles.” Get behind the wheel uy your new cat on a business basis --check powet getaway, swiftness hill-climbing- -- in actual tests -- that’s all thats needed to prove Buick superiorily Stanley H.

AB CAN BE MINIMIZED Too Many Purchasers Rush | Motors Into Service Be- fore Knowing Them. DRIVER’S DUTY TO CAR If motorists are to enjoy their 1929 automotive possessions to the fullest extent a changed attitude toward them is essential. This is the considered opin- ion of authorities who have been giving careful a*tention to trends in car own- erehip. It is generally believed that a great deal of trouble with automobiles can be traced to owners’ failure to know more about their cars before they start using them intensively. The average car is pressed into serv- fee immediately and often is required to do things for which it was not built. of whether the owner under- stands the car, he proceeds on the as- sumption that he knows all about it, and the consequence is that his first destination is a@ repair shop.

The hundreds of millions that motor- dom spends yearly never fail to provide '@ larger, a more magnificent stage for the car of the year that follows. With the 1929 car now leaving the state of exhibition and preparing to enter upon the broad stage of its activity, the eyes of motordom turn to the setting in which it will serve. It is at this time that they acquire an idea of the colossal proportions of the arena in which the new car and millions of older ones will serve to make the Nation still more prosperous, happy, and contented. Wide, gleaming, hard-surfaced high- ways that fuse into a network of hun- dreds of thousands of miles—these are the first property of the gigantic stage to impress. On these highways, motor- dom has reared a system of sign-mark- ing that so simplifies even the strangest territory that it may be traversed at tremendous speeds with no danger of losing one’s way. Along them at intervals that are happily short, one finds facilities of every character needed, from service tions for the car to shelter and hospice for its occupants. Nothing is missing. Throughout its 30 Wears, motordom has learned to set &fits stage with a finesse and a finish that encompasses even the smallest de- tail essential to unrestricted usefulness of its new automobiles. This fact was a tremendous factor in the record pro- portions the industry attained last year. It is a bigger stage that awaits mo- tordom this year. The industry knows that the public will make the utmost use of it. That is why it looks for- ward to the greatest twelve months in its long and happy history. Speed Is the Thing Of the 586,000 units produced by the commercial vehicle makers of the United States in 1928, 521,000 were of less than two-ton capacity. These can be taken simply as some more figures, or figures with a real meaning. Looked at from the latter viewpoint, their effect upon the lives of every one is not difficult to determine. Summing up this effect, an official of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce says: “By speeding up de- liveries, these fast trucks are increasing the turnover of commodities and mak- ing possible reduced inventories, which enables business to maintain a more liquid condition than was previously ble.” There is a benefit in this fact to buyers of every kind of com- modity. In another way, virtually every life is effected. That has to do with traffic. In the last few years, passen- ger cars have been enormously im- proved with respect to fleetness of getaway, deceleration and in other ways. They have proved themselves Among Us Motorists Discussing Those Matters That Concern Us All By WILLIAM ULLMAN cars, check books are going to be kept mighty busy during 1929. Expressing Individuality. a queer twist and turn in the automo- tive industry. One of the queerest and most interesting, practiced by only wo or three units at a time, is that of waiting to see what the majority do and then not doing it. This is evi- dencing itself now in the practices of a few companies that are keeping the design of their cars as conservative as possible. Accarding to an official of one of these firms, the best way to be radical at the moment is to be con- servative. As one evidence of how ef- fectively the plan works, tere is the fact that black has come and gone sev- eral times as a favorite finish, Nontechnically Speaking Mechanical developments from the layman's viewpoint: “Production economies,” the public is told, account for many of these pe- riodic cuts in automobiles, Just what are production economies? One now current that illustrates the point is concerned with spring brackets, those supports that hold the spring to the frame. Once these parts were either cast or forged. Now they are stamped. It is quicker. Therefore they are less expensive. That is a production econ- omy. Multiply it by several others and it will mean a price cut. Against the higher compression pres- sures of today the spark has a harder tLae jumping. It’s like a broad jumper trying to set a record by leaping into a 50-mile wind. That is why, when spark-plug gaps get too wide the engine cuts out at higher speeds. In the face of the pressure the spark can not make the jump. Constructive Criticism Automobiles are not perfect, after all. An engineer who has won him- self a deserved reputation as the auto- mobile’s greatest friend and severest critic recently cited four things that designers should think about at once. Easier starting in cold weather came first in his list. The other three were: Better closed car ventilation, location of body hard- ware in such a fashion that it will be out of the way of arms, krn- :, and coat pockets; and attention to the need for a better floor covering for the driver’s compartment. The list of de- tails might be extended. Inventors Are Busy. Merely because one does not hear s0 much about their work does not mean that isolated inventors have begun to ignore the automobile. On the market now, if to.a somewhat limited extent, are such devices as a battery terminal that prevents corrosion, a hose that transfers the air from the spare tire to ee |Overdriving Held Fault in Speeding Fast Traveling at Turn in Road Often Occasions Accidents. The principle of speed on the high- | way, as fostered today by certain au- The effort to be different takes many tomotive manufacturers, would be sound and safe were it not for one serious public fault. That is “over- driving.” Overdriving is going faster than the speed at which It is possible to make a turn, or crossing, or other highway kink safely. Overdriving, not .oo much speed, is what causes the accidents. ‘or instance, there is no reason why a person should be Kept down to 35 miles an hour when he has a long. straight stretch of wide road before him. He can make greater speed with perfect ease and safety here. The danger lies in hitting a turn at too great a speed, or flashing by a crossing without slowing down. It is at such points that most, if not prac- tically all, highway accidents occur. The solution to the speed problem lies, therefore, in the education of the ..otorist and the cultivation of his sane impulses toward proper use of the road. This is a natural law of safe driving and it requires teaching just as do those of learning to drive. How to Prevent Bad Skids. Learning the speed at which a car will take a turn in mud or on a wet pavement will prevent that bad skid which comes so unexpectedly. UU NA } Lb OST: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 17, 1929.

A device which is claimed to make it possible to operate internal combustion engines .on ordinary fuel oll without redesigning ox adjusting the engine parts was described recently by J. A. Queeney, vic’ president of the Phila- delphia street transportation system. The device is similar tn design to a steam turbine an. is called the “gas generator.” If is the invention of Ern- est Godward, of New Zealand. According to Mr. Queeney the gas generator consists of an aluminum pot, in which there are set a series of thin curved plates radiating from the cen- tral. Heat from the exhaust. manifold is utilized to heat the pot. The fuel is drawn from a standard carburetor, over the hot fins in the core, where it is converted into a dry gas, when it passes through the intake manifold end into the cylinders. Mr. Queeney ceclared that buses had been. operated more than 300,000 miles without unusual carbonization and no evidence of wet mixture in the mani- fold. Reboring Done Satisfactorily. It is time motordom got over the idea that reboring is a major operation from which the patient, the engine, may not recover. If done by a capable mechanic, there is no reason why re- sults should not be satisfactory. Fully 40 per cent of all automobile sales are finally clinched because of some relatively small and unimportant accessory or luxury which catches the prospect’s fancy, and which may have been lacking in other cars inspected. This significant fact is made by the sales manager of a leading automobile manufacturing company, who goes on to say that women generally are in- fluenced to a greater extent than men in letting certain accessories sell them a car, “However,” he continues, “In a great many instances men will sign on the dotted line only after some efficient automobile salesman has sold them on the merits of a new automobile wind- shield wiper or a trick cigarette lighter on the dash. “It is natural for both men and women to be sold by an accessory, and automobile manufacturers have been quick to realize this fact.

The commercial vehicle, however, has re- mained an obstacle to the realization of the benefits of a faster moving traffic stream. Now all this is being changed. Trucks are acquiring passenger car characteristics rapidly and on a big scale. Speed is the thing in all types of vehicles. It means a better state of traffic affairs through uniformity, unless many authorities are guessing wrong. Finally a Verdict, Who gets a parking space, the motor- ist who saw it first or the one who can get into it first? Finally, this question has been answered—and by a traffic officer. In one congested street, a woman driver and a man made a dash for the same parking space at approxi- mately the same time. Each got ap- proximately half of their cars into the space. Then, they began to wait the other out. A hugh crowd gathered. Its swelling ions and the noise it was mak- 5 the tire on any wheel of the car and a crib that attaches to the top of the car and rocks the baby to sleep. The rock- ing motion, of course, is imparted by the upward and downward movement of the car body. Why Cars Cost Less. It may be difficult to see any con- nection between the cost of the equip- ment used by the janitorial staff of the automobile factory and the price of the car turned out by that factory. Yet one pro: ument production official is emphatic in his declaration that the far-seeing car maker must watch “the cost of every little detail down to the brooms and mop pails.” Up Goes Floor Space. There is an inevitable sign of the expansion of the automobile industry that, unfortunately, does not appear befofe the public.

Before any attempt is made to perate the car the matter of starting uld be studied carefully. owner's first inclination to get into the car and drive to his dividual who ever has tapped his foot upon a brake pedal. At one of the largest proving grounds in the country, it has been determined that one set of brakes at least is capable of 15,000 stops of all kinds before there is need for taking up the slack. Another test made at this same institution reveals that 60,000 stops are possible before the linings need replacement. In this age of more and better stops, the brakes are being made more equal to the task, apparently. They’re Better Cars. Law-making bodies are forced to rec- ognize that cars get constantly better. By way of illustration, a far North city this year changed its parking regula- tions as a concession to the fact that all-year use of the automobile had be- come an actuality. Until this year, the one-hour restriction on parking has been abandoned on November 1 and re- stored on May 1. Fewer persons used their cars in cold weather, so the re- during winter.

He discovered that the pleasing noiselessness of the friend's car was due entirely to the difference in the way it had been maintained. Now he has a new car and a new attitude toward caring for it. The comparison helped. An Important Detail. In car care, as in many other spheres, it will be found that the small thing often is of importance that is far greater than one might imagine.

Even a small finger- print, he was told, frequently interferes with the efficiency of the headlamp.

Highways Growing Wider The superhighway continues to broaden its conquests, and almost month by month the list of highways of superwidth grows longer. Nor are they confined to any particular section.

George M. Stratton, of the Univer- sity of California, said that evidence increases that disease is connected in after-life with irascibility. Instead of breeding patience, it appears that “persons who have had a greater num- ber of diseases appear to be more iras- cible than do those who have had few S. “The time when the disease occurs is. important.

Man’s Brain Works Like News Office Famous British Scientist Finds Analogy in the Methods of Both. London, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—Sir Arthur Keith, famous British scientist, lectur- ing before the Royal College of Sur- geons, said the human brain resembl d a newspaper office. Messages from various quarters flowed into the brain and, said Sir Arthur, according to their nature, to departments devoted to foreign news, politics, commerce, sports, fashion and other subjects. Between the time messages were received, and the time they passed to “expression” in the hands of the printer much staff work had to be done. The news might be old or li. elous or uninteresting; it had to be examined, formulated amd arranged; some part of the staff must think of the policy of th? journal and make provision for fu- ture issues.

LARGEST OF KIND KNOWN New York, Feb. 16 (A.P.)—The Bay of Whales, where the Byrd antarctic expedition is building its base, actually is on the lip of a glacier 300 miles or more wide. Seemingly one of the most precarious spots for an explorei*s head- quarters, it nevertheless is one of the safest sites in the whole antarctic. The story of this glacier, in the century that men have known it, is itself an epic. “It is by thousands of times the largest glacier known,” says Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History, himself an antarctic veteran. “The ice comes down from high land to the south, from the direction of the pole, and spreads out over the basin believed to be a shallow portion of the Ross sea. The glacier forms a great ice gulf, projecting 400 miles out over the sup- posed water, and filling the basin of Ross sea from shore to shore to & width of more than 300 miles. °*° “Finally it breaks off into the water, and there, at the breaking line, Byrd has his base, but because this glacier is so different from others the tiny scien- tific city on the edge of the ice seems safe. “One peculiar feature is that at the bay the shore line has remained fixed. In this region the ice breaks off along about the same contour year after year. The reason is not yet fully understood, but may be due to the configuration of the sea bottom. This bay is compara- tively close to the eastern shore of Ross Sea. “The data on the bergs cast adrift from the 300 or more mile sea front of this glacier reveal another of the pe- culiarities which make it different from Pil iS : . ) Nene a * —L4

EVENTS OF INTEREST I THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, eel N THE THEATERS 1929. “THE DYBBUK” BROUGHT BACK _ TO THE CENTER _ Washington will have another oppor- tunity to see an English version of “The Dybbuk,” Ansky'’s famous Yiddish drama of the Polish ghetto, next Tues- day evening when the Jewish Center Players will revive their last year's suc- cess. Followint this performance at the Center, the cast will go on tour with the play, visiting Philadelphia, Wilmington and Chester. Tuesday night's performance will be given in response to numerous re- quests. An ambitious undertaking for any little theater group, the Dybbuk proved an exceedingly difficult task for the Center players and required more than six months’ rehearsal before the cast Was letter perfect in their roles. Alvin Neuberger, of Baltimore, direct- ed the production and made no little effort to find suitable characters for the parts. In the leading roles were cast Kate L. Shapiro and Aaron M. eRosenthal, who had _ distinguished themselves in 1927 in the Jewish Center Dramatic Society's presentation of “The Pot Boilers,” which won the first Intercommunity Center play tournament. Others having major roles in the Dybbuk are Louts D. Tan- henbaum, Morris Minsk, Hannah Stolar, Dr. Charles Gordon, Milton D. Korman and Nathan Freehof. The English version of the pluy was translated by Henry Alsberg, of New York, and preserves to a marked degree the spirit of the original Yiddish text. It was produced by the Neighborhood Players in New York and enjoyed an extended run. ROSA PONSELLE WILL SING HERE Rosa Ponselle, prima donna soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Will appear in concert at Poli's Thea- ter on esday afternoon, February 19, at 4:30 o'clock, as the fourth attraction in Mrs. Wilson-Greene’s Philharmonic course of afternoon concerts at that theater. She will be assisted by Mrs. Stuart Ross, pianist. Although American born, Rosa Pon- Belle today is regarded as the greatest — of this generation. Her mar- us voice alone made possible the revival by the Metropolitan Opera Company of Bellini’s difficult opera, “Norma,” which had not ‘been pro- Guced by. that company in 35 years, or since the days of Lilli Lehmann. In addition to making some 30 operatic appearances with the Metropolitan this season, Miss Ponselle is expected to ap- pear in concert nearly 50 times in a . tour that will open with the aria, “Pace, _ ‘Right, February . “ya i Pace, Mio Dio,” from Verdi's “La Forza del Destino,” the opera in which Miss Ponselle made her Metropolitan debut Opposite Enrico Caruso, and her sec- ond group of songs will include “Ama-.| Tili Mia Bella” (Giulio Caccini), “A Pastoral” (Veracini), “Traume” (Wag- ner) and “L’Oiseau Blue” (Decreus). ONE-ACT PLAYS FOR THIS WEEK | Keen interest is dev in the gee contests now staged the many city-wide organizations which have entered dramatic groups in the third annual one-act play tourna- ment of the District of Columbia spon- sored by the Community Drama Guild, for which the finals wil] take place at McKinley Atiditorlum on Wednesday 27, at 8 o'clock. ning programs of plays will be seen this week, representing twelve different companies of players, four groups playing each night, beginning Tuesday, February 19, at Columbia Heights Comniunity Center, when the St. Alban’s Dramatic Club will present “Mre Pat and the Law,” written by Mrs. Arthur Aldis, and directed by Paul J. Seltzer. The players of the Theater Arts Schol, directed by Lucy Ann Rog- ers, will present “The Conflict,” by Clarice Valette Macauley. The Tart and Talent Club will present Oliphant Down's “Maker of Dreams,” directed by Mark Anthony Burns, and the Colum- bia players will present W. W. Jacobs’ “The Monkey's Paw,” directed by Au- ’ yora M. Poston. On Wednesday night, February 20, at 8 o'clock, at East Washington Com- munity Center, “The Knife” will be given by the St. Peter's players; “The Turtle Dove” by the TJhapel players; “The Other Voice” by the East Wash- ington Community players, and “The Drums of Oude” by the Woodlothian players. . The last of the preliminary contests will occur Saturday night, February 23. at Columbia Heights Center, when the plays to be given include “The Lost Silk Hat” by the L’Allegro players, “Suppressed Desires” by the Wesley Heights players; “The Rushlight” by the Woman's Club of Bethesda, and — and Wisdom” by the Mackin Club. WHITE HOUSE TO HEAR CHOTR The second annual audition of the Dayton Westminster Choir will be rendered in the auditorium here on Saturday, March 9, under the direction of its leader, John Finley Williamson. The appearance in this city nearly closes the American tour for this body of 60 young men and women who comprise the organization Leaving New York itn March the eboir will begin a three months tour of Europe including England, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzer- land, Holland, Scandinavia and other countries. The purpose being to raise the general standard of church music throughout the world. The organization was started seven years ago by. its present director with the assistance of Mrs. H. E. Talbott, President of the Westminster Choir Association, its patroness and finan>:'al 8 r. Mrs, Talbott will accom- pany the choir on its tour. The concert here wil] be followed by an audition at the White Signed for Vitapone. > 5 it i : va Sook Gea eee a PAUL McGRATH, with the New York Theater Guid, coming to Poli’s The- ater, the week of March 11 in a series of plays. DANCE CONCERT ON NEXT SUNDAY In the “dance concert” for next Sun- day evening, February 24, at 8:30 at Wardman Park Theater, Evelyn Davis dancer and Mary Apple contralto, bring costumed episodes from many lands. Each artiste has an individual contribu- tion to give in her separate art, but also they have arranged some ensemble scenes in which the human voice is added to create mood for the dancer, oe something unusual in this re- cital. ' Mary Apple’s deep contralto voice has @ quality that should fit admirably into the mystic subtlety of the modern Rus- sian songs she will sing in costume, and she will also give an Italian costume group. Miss Apple won second place in the Atwater Kent contest and her radio audiences will be glad to see her on this picturesque occasion. Evelyn Davis presents some authentic novelties of the dance. From the new German technique, for which Mary Wig- man stands as revolutionary in Europe today and which Miss Davis acquired from Eugene von Grona, she will give a solo, “Grotesque,” and a highly imag- inative group dance, “The Sea.” : COMING ATTRACTIONS | As their second attraction of the new season the National Theater Play- ers will present next weéek, beginning Monday night, February 25, the com- edy by Myron C. Fagan, “The Little Spitfire.” When it opened in the Cort Theater, New York, “The Little Spitfire,” with Sara Southern in the title role, proved to be one of the outstanding comedies | of the season. It comes to Washington | for the first time next week, and at popular prices instead of the higher | fare charged by road: companies. Hav- ing to do with contrast in life as it is lived by the millionaires and the com- mon classes, “The Little Spitfire” con- tains many humorous situations. It is built around the marriage of a chorus girl to the son of a chain-store mag- nate. The boy’s father takes to the girl, but the mother-in-law does not, | nor does a jilted sweetheart—and therein lies the story. Miss Mary Newton, leading lady; Wilfred Lytell, leading man; Miss Nancy Baker, ingenue, and Freddie | Sherman, juvenile, are admirably cast in this prodwction, as are Mrs. Ade- laide Hibbard, Charles Hampden and Helen Wallace. Other members of the National Theater Players have oppor- tunity to romp in a comedy that is fast moving from beginning to end. There will be the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. Following a full season’s run on Broadway, George White’s newest edi-| tion of “Scandals,” with the New York cast intact, will open a week’s engage- | ment at Poli’s Theater on Sunday even- | ing, February 24. | The ninth annual “Scandals” boasts | a cast of stellar excellence, including | Ann Pennington, Willie and Eugene) Howard, Tom Patricola, Frances Will- | iams, Rose Perfect, Bernice and Emily, | Dolly Gilbert, Florence Robinson, Ar-| thur Page and Harry Richman. In ad-| dition, to brighten theatergoers who} love brilliant extravaganza, the cast in- | cludes a Russell Markert dance unit. | Lois Eckhart, James Carty, Fred Lyons, Mabel Hill, Peggy Mosely, Georgia | Lerch, Belle Osborn, Arthur Cardinal, | and 100 George White beauties also lend | their charm and talent to “Scandals.” | The new “Scandals” was prepared by | the same quintet of authors and com-| posers who made last year’s edition one | of the brightest and most successful in | the series—B. G. DeSylva, Lew Brown, | Ray Henderson, William K. Wells, and | George White himself. | The revue is in two acts and 23 scenes. Matinees will be given on Thursday and Saturday. Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield as guest | stars with the Savoy Musicomediene in “The Blushfng Bride,” will be Charles Emerson Cook’s coming attraction at the Belasco Theater, beginning Sunday, February 24.

FINAL CONCERT BRINGS LONDON MAN TO STAND When the Philadelphia Orchestra | comes to Washington for its fina] con- cert this season, on Tuesday afternoon, February 26, it will be under the direc- tion of Eugene Goossens. It is a coincidence that Mr. Goossens on this occasion will take the place of Sir Thomas Beecham, whose American tour was canceled because of illnegs, and under whose tutelage Mr. Goossens received: his first opportunity to con- duct in Londgn. This was toward the close of 1915, when the English. noble- man invited the young Goosens to con- Stanford, at the Shaftesbury Theater. Goossens acquitted himself so well in this task that Sir Thomas at once at- tached him permanently to his opera company, and he was called upon to direct the performances of many im- portant operas at Covent Garden, Ald- wych and Drury Lane Theaters and in the provinces. Mr. Goossens had an enviable repu- tation in Europe as a conductor and composer when, still in his early thir- ties, he was brought to America by George Eastman in 1923 to conduct the newly organized orchestra of Rochester. The Sarge. Charlies Meakins, remembered as the dashing sergeant of the Royal Mounted Police, in “Rose Marie,” again will be seen in the role at Poli’s tonight. ROSA PONSELLE, Prima Donna dramatic so- prano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, who will be heard in concert at Polv’s, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30. To Conduct Here. Arturo Toscanini appears here as con- ductor of the Wew York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra on Tuesday after- noon March 6 at the Washington Audi- torilum. Each concert that he has given in New York has been the oc- casion for extraordinary acclaim. In certain foreign countries demonstra- tions such as he evoked are perhaps more common than in this one; cer- tainly it is a sight rare in the annals of American concert rooms to behold an audience risen to its feet, shouting, stamping, waving hats, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, programs—whatever comes quickest to hand—éven weeping, for a quarter of an hour after the end of one of his concerts. Sometimes They Do. Freddie Sherman, juvenile with the National Theater Players, has been on the stage eight years and is just past his twenty-first birthday. He worked two years as an Office boy, to save money for railroad fare that carried him to his first theater engagement— and they say office boys never get any- where. NEW YORK STAGE ECHOES By ROBERT BELL , ICE at the theater lately’I have been reminded of Max Reinhardt the great German producer. One time was at “Mima,” the latest Belasco opus which it was gossiped would be the eminent dean's swan song. In- deed at first thought it seemed that Belasco had on this occasion switched over to modernism; for he uses a coff- structionist set and sends dancing devils leaping over your backs through the auditorium. The play itself—-taken very vaguely I imagine from Ferenc Molnar’s “The Red Mill”"— is practi- cally nothing more than an oppor- tunity for Belasco to use his wizardry in remarkable scenic effects and for the star, Miss Lenore Ulric, to go through with hardly an apology the entire technical range of emotions. To those who demand some sort of synop- sis I’ll tell that the scene of the play is laid in hell, that Magister, the sa- tanic inventor, has devised a huge mill into which a human soul once thrown | becomes within two hours eternally a subject for hell fire. Magister wants to show. off his invention to his majes- ty the King of Hell anda search is made through telescope pointed .to earth for a suitable subject. After some difficulty they discover an ap- parently perfect and pure man,.a@ for- ester who is a devoted son and ten- derly faithful husband. Devils grab him and without further ado he is shoved into the mouth of the mill, the steam is turned on, the electric dynamo is charged, the great flywheel revolves and his temptations start. The chief tempter in the mill ls, of course, Mima, a. mechanical puppet which is the greatest invention that the satanic Magister has ever devised. And sje enough-the man is truly tempted, suc- cumbs and the devils chuckle with devilish glee. It really seems that he is to be a fit inhabitant of hell, but at the last mo- ment something goes wrong. He gets ahold of a letter from his mother and, filled with the memory of filial affec- tion, he refuses the final temptations, turns his back even upon Mima, swings himself upon a rope ladder and starts climbing out of hell upward to his wife and mother. This triumph of virtue produces havoc at the mill. The boilers explode, sparks fly, pistons hiss, the mill catches fire and before our every eyes this huge mechanical construction collapses with a dreadful realism that even the movies have not su The scene is thrilling and at the end the desolation complete: Mima is left alone in the midst of the terrible debris. f The magnitude of the production makes you think of Reinhardt, but looking carefully at the technique you realize that Belasco nas not swopped principles with the German director. It is the management of the mechanical set that is so extraoidinary, the re- eee markable details of this mill that towers above you—its reaLstic fall. It is true that mut the play devils are stationed on its var parts, that when the collapse. comes devils fall from them, of would have been content with a few platfotms and a s of the mill, that his drama would have been not the mechanical collapse but the terri- when the catastrophe befell.

Fairbrother-Rossell. Last Thursday at 3 p. m. the Parent- Teacher Association of Fairbrother- Rossell School met in the Fairbrother School. The second grade class, taught by Miss Flora Ulke, entertained with songs, readings and dances. A talk on “Diet and Rest for Children” was comers to Langley this semester have |. day at 8 p.m. Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, State president, will be the speaker of — evening.

In place of the regular monthly ‘meeting ‘of the Emery-Eckington Par- ent-Teacher Association, on February 8, at 8 p. m., a reception was given to the new members, also a birthday party in honor of Founders’ Day. The 'Singing Mothers, under direction of Mrs. E. .L. Norris, gave several selec- tions. , Miss Mary Bumpus, acting for the Parent-Teacher. Association, presented Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, State president, on her arrival, a basket of yellow tulips ‘and green ferns. Mrs. Rafter gave a 'talk on “Necessity of Education and the Bringing Together of the Teacher, the Parent and the Child.” Mrs, Rafter presented the following children with blue ribbons: William Lyons, Mary Moran, Jean Oliver, Dolores Lykes and Dorthea Reuss.

The Hubbard-Raymond Association will meet at the Hubbard Schoo] to- morrow at 8 o’clock. Mrs. Schaeffer, fourth-grade teacher of Raymond School, will talk on the “Modern Methods of Teaching.” Public Library. “Mental Growth and Decline,” by H. L. Hollingsworth. is a psychology with many commendable features. It presents g comprehensive point of view, dealing with the whole career of human life, not merely its infancy and school days. These newer works devoted to rather narrow sections of human growth as “pre-school age” and “ado- lescence” are excellent for the student and the specialist. But Dr.'Hollingsworth’s book presents a splendid survey of the field for the reader who has no coherent preparation in general biology and psychology. He gives one a working knowledge of genetics, embryology and heredity, then goes on to a careful discussion of baby- hood, the questioning age, “Big Injun” age, the awkward age, maturity and senility. The book is readable. It is certainly not popular in style, but there is an easy, informal air about it, and one agrees with the author that the origins and destiny of mental activi- ties are fully as inviting topics as are the periods of school exercise. Singing Mothers. The Singing Mothers’ Chorus, Mrs. E. L. Norris, director, will give a musical program for the celebration of Foun- ders’ Day at the State monthly con- ference Tuesday at 2 p. m. in the Bur- lington Hotel. The chorus will sing at the Sibley Hospital Guild Thursday at 12 noon. The next engagement is for a meeting of the Wallach-Towers Association on Wednesday at 8 p. m. at Wallach School, Any association desiring the services of this chorus will notify Mrs. Pierce Ashburn, Columbia 4572-J, before the third Tuesday of the month. Thomson. Thomson Parent-Teacher Association met Tuesday. The kindergarten dem- onstration, under the supervision of Misses Zeider and Hammerly, were very much enjoyed by the parents. This was followed by the business meeting during which a birthday gift of $5.00 to the State and National associations was favorably voted upon. The play- ground chairman was requested to ap- point a committee to ask to have the muddy condition of the playground remedied. Resolutions favoring the Crampton park bill and the free text- book bill were passed. It was also decided to have a P.-T. A. Bullentin board hung in the hall of the WORK ON BRIDGE _ ) POPULAR method of playing Auc- A tion Bridge is what is known as | the “Progressive” game; this method is also beginning to find favor with the players of Contract Bridge. In Progressive, players move from table to table and change partners with each progression. As this increases sociabil- ity, progressive is used largely at Bridge parties and often is called “Party Bridge.” Progressive was played for years with- out any official code of laws, and as a result was played in differ@t ways in different places, and many unsound practices have crept into it. Now that the American Auction Bridge League has adopted an official code for Pro- gressive, the way to play and score is just as clearly defined and should be just as uniform as the regular rubber game. In Progressive each player is compet- ing with every other player in the room; that feature, and the fact that it is im- possible to play rubbers, being the prin- cipal points at which Progressive differs from. the regular game. If rubbers were attempted, the players at one table might finish their rubber tn two deals and then be obliged to sit idle while another table was laboring through six or eight deals. Because rubbers are not played, there is no rubber bonus of 250 points, as in a tone-table game; but a bonus of 125 is allowed for scoring 30 (or more) points in one hand—that is, trick-points scored “below the line” toward game. The 125 is called a game bonus. There are four deals between progres- sions— possibly five. If a deal is passed out, i. e., all four players pass their first opportunity to bid, the same Dealer redeals with the same pack; but should any miore deals be passed out. zeros are entered in both columns of the table score and the deal passes Darring -out deals, each of the four players at a table has one deal and has the first chance to bid during one duction. Most Progressive players are familiar with these details, but many are ignorant of—or at any rate do not rrect scoring. The correct and legal method of mak- ing entries in the individual tallies, and the proper way to determine who wins the first prize money among all the players, are the important things to t right. The.method, ell too preva-~- ent at present, of adding up points won and ignoring points lost does not in awardnig the prize to the real winner except occasionally by ac- cident. That is why so many players who are awful dubs walk home with |} so many Progressive when the scoring follows the “all-plus” method. It is hoped ‘that the new American Auc- tion Laws will rescue 7 / ed—as to award a Bridge prize upon the basis of points won without consider- ing points lost. There is a score pad at each table, and each player also has his individual tally card which contains two columns, one headed “My Score,” the other “Their Score.” As each deal is played, the resultant scores are entered in the proper columns of the table score— just as in regular Bridge, except an ad- ditional 125 is entered when a side makes 30 or more trick-points in one hand. Honors as held, and the bonus for a slam are scored whenever earned; but aside from these, a side may not store more than 400 points from any source in one hand, no matter how many they actually win. This is to prevent one pair from obtaining an undue advantage by an abnormal score due to a freak hand, a slip in play caused by accident or oversight, an abnormally heavy penalty, &c. When the quota of deals has been completed, the total scores of both sides are added up on the table score sheet and the totals entered in the individual tally cards. Each player enters the total of his side in the “My Score” column of his tally card, and the total of the other side in the “Their Score” column. The two play- ers having the higher table score total are the ones to progress, but before doing so they enter 100 for “progress- ing bonus” in the “My Score” column of their tally cards. The players who do not progress make no entry of the progressing bonus in either column, If the table score should end in a tie (a most unusual happening), 50 is entered in the “My Score” col- umns of the tallies of all four players, and all draw cards to see which two progress. The two who draw the highest cards (regardless of whether they were partners or not) are the two to progress. - «In progressing, the winners at the head table remain and the losers go to the bottom table. At all other tables, the losers remain and the win- ners move up one table. Partners are changed at each progression. Players find their places at the be- ginning of? the session by means of their tally cards which they draw at random. Each tally shows a_ table number and position (North, South, East or West). At the end of the session, the indi- vidual tallies are totaled and the dif- ference between the “My Score” and “Their Score” totals ascertained by subtraction. The difference is the in- net W. W. Husband at the John Eaton Parent-Teacher Association meeting held in the Cleveland Park Congrega- |A. B. Pierce gave several selections of | Bert Williams. | Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, State presi- | dent. spoke about the national conven- tion. Mrs. Rafter expects the John Eaton Association to do some definite ithing during this convention, as the parent-teacher movement was origi- nated in Cleveland Park by a resident of that section. The association passed a motion to have a committee appointed to con- sider the organization of a Eaton Patrol, This committee consists of Mrs. Fletcher Sheffield, Mrs. E. L. Cochrane, Mrs. G. E. White, Dr. L. W. Stephenson, Maj. J. K. Boles and Paul Quin. This committee wil] meet with the princi- pal, Miss Lubekert, Mr. Howard M.

Carbery. “Worthy Home Membership” was the subject of an address given by Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, State president, at the meeting of the Carbery Parent- Teacher Association Friday, February 8. A pageant was presented by the pupils o* the fourth and sixth grades in honor of the thirty-second enniversary of Founders’ Day. A birtaday cake was a ieature of the entertainment. It was decorated with 32 candles. Mrs. Rafter lighted two of them in honor of the memory of Mrs. Pheobe A. Hearst and Mrs. Theodore “V. —~irney. Mrs. Rafter complimented the children for the per- formance, and Mrs. Stanley Schrader, chairman of the celebration, thanked the teachers who helped her. Miss Peggy Fox gave a reading entitled “Mary and Her Lamb.” Mrs. George Fox, pre-ident, sent a jJetter of greeting to the members and expressed regret that illness prevented her from being present.

A card party was given at the Chestnut Farms Club room, 2103 Rhode Island avenue, under the man- agenient of Mrs. Thomas Carroll, chair- man of the ways and means commit- tee. Keene. The Joseph R Keene Parent-Teacher Association met Tuesday in the school with a gathering that filled the build- ing to its capacity. Reports were made by Mrs. R. T. Wyche on thrift, stating that the school children had saved and have on deposit in the Brightwood Bank $235. Mrs. Howard H. Cheenecy reported the following new members: Charles A. Langley, Mrs. Margaret Shaw and Miss Elizabeth Gleason. Mrs: B. J. Drake, teacher of the sixth and seventh grades, won the attend- ance banner for the fifth consecutive time. The children of the school gave a pageant appropriate to the commem- oration of Founders’ Day’ and candles were lighted upon the large cake by Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter Miss H. E. King and Mrs. A. H. Tolson, the latter being a charter member of the Con- gress of Parents and Teachers Asso- ciation. Mrs. Herman T. Hitz rendered vocal solos, accompanied by Mrs. Arthur W. Clime at the piano: Addresses were made by Mrs, Giles ‘the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, have instituted the fifth in a series of courses on child guidance. The present course concerns itself with “Modern Parenthood—Its Opportuni- ties and Perplexities.” The lecture is held each Thursday morning in the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church, Fourteenth street and Columbia road, a trained kindergartener is always .on hand so that small children may be taken care of while the mothers attend /the leeture and the conference which follows.

MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS. M. GOETHE is greatly disturbed ( | about the immigration from * Mexico. The restrictions on European tion do not apply to Mexicans. Not only do Mexicans enter this country in large numbers to make ent homes, but the compara- tively “open door” alorig the Mexican border is used by European immigrants who could not enter ugh the legal doorways. Bootlegging immigrants, it is said, has become a more profitable business than either bootlegging liquor or smuggling drugs. or white slaving. According to newspaper reports,-the Mexican government is likewise inter- ested in this outward trek of their peo- ple Goethe says: “The peons’ north- ward trek, now & Mass movement, has become a menace to the old American seed stock. Over one southern Califor- nit highway during one week recently 32% automobiles filled with Mexican la- borers and families passed northward. This was exclusive of Mexican passen- gers in trains and aut stages. The menace is in part due to the high birth rate of the Mexicans. An American family would have 27 members in the great-grandchildren generation. A Mex- ican family in the same generation would have 729 children. At this rate, in that generation these 322 families who entered along one road would have 469,476 mem in the great- grandchild generation. A similar num- ber of American families would have only 17,3888 members to compete against the approximately half a mil- lion of Mexican descent. Another reason for his opposition to the Mexican influx is the diseases which they bring to us, or harbor and spread. In Los Angeles a few years ago there was an outbreak of a disease which our own people have never had much knowledge of. It is pneumonia plague. It broke out in the Mexican quarter. There were 32 cases of pneu- monia plague and 30 deaths and seven cases of bubonic plague with five deaths. How the two cases of pneu- monia plague escaped death is a ques- tion. o control the epidemic cost Los les a little less than $3,000,000. In cago some authorities claim that consumption in Mexicans is al- most uncontrollable. Amebic dysentery few years ago Mexican typhus from old Mexico across the country to within two hundred miles of Chicago. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE; RAPID PULSE, Joe &. writes: 1.

New Tarkish Dictionary Contains 24,000 Words Angora, Turkey, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—The new Turkish dictionary, compiled as a result of the change from the Arabic to the Latin alphabet and the Ghazi’s wish to delete from the language most of the Persian and Arabic words long in usage, reveals the number of Turk- ish words tO be only 24,000. This is less than one-fourth the number in standard English dictionaries. ‘ A Turkish expert has computed that the best Turkish scholars know only 10,000 words, ordinary educated Turks only from 2,500 to 4,000, lower class city folk 1,200, while the Anatolian peasant’s vocabulary is limited to 800 words. The Greater dealers are sensitive as to what the public will favor. — They are critical as to what constitutes genuine value. Self-interest dictates their choice of the cars they want to sell. It was the first time in history that a manufacturer has allowed his product to speak for itself in this manner. No claims were made. No high-powered sales pressure was applied. These expert judges of automobile values with their own future and millions of dollars at stake registered their appraisal with the sole influence of individual self-interest. Ordinarily dealers do not decide what cars they will sell until they know exactly what cars the public will favor. But the vote by these many dealers gave a true indication of public acceptance with the result that twice as many dealers have contracted for Hudson this year as had signed at this time one year ago. And 1928, by the way, was Hudson’s biggest year. Now by tens and tens of thousands automobile buyers are likewise casting their secret and unanimous vote for the Greater Hudson. You will see the score in 5,000 salesrooms. It is conchusive proof that the Greater Hudson is the public favorite of all cars selling above $1,000. Won't you, too, go to your nearest Hudson dealer and make your appraisement as so many thousands have already done? shown to groups of motor dealers who were asked to examine it from the standpoint of general attractive- ness in lines, appearance, comfort, fittings, performance and value, and then to cast a secret ballot on which they checked their individual ap- praisement of every detail. The idea was to obtain an advance of the Greater Hudson. Successful ome mem 7 - * 3 Pek. SS deed ee a, Young Women’s | t ss . . gl, +0 pho a ae eek tink en dike A a oe"?

This latest injunction perpetually restrains a St. Louis real estate partner- ship whose members do not hold mem- bership in the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange from use of the term realtor on office doors, office windows, Dill boards, signboards, stationery, news- paper advertising or calling cards and other material where it might be used in connection with real estate business. Building Activity Reduced in January Building of house, office or store con- structions in January decreased for the third consecutive month, as indicated by the reports received by the Brad- street’s Journal from 195 cities. The decrease in January, however, was much less marked than in either November or December. In adidtion, there was a decided variance shown between building trends in and outside of New York City, the total in which latter constitute so lareg a proportion, about 40 per. cent in January of the entire country’s total. The total value of the building permitted for at 196 cities of the United States for January was $208,505,227, as against $210,915,849 in December, 1928, and $215,906,100 in January @ year ago. There is here in- dicated a decrease of 1.1 per cent from December and of 3.4 per cent from Jan- uary a year ago. “15 a Day”’ A NEW IDEA Every architect, real- tor, builder, present and future home owner should consider an _ Exercise Room or Health Room in each home, hotel, apart- ment house, office build- ing and club.

PRESIDENT IS QUOTED President Coolidge gave voice to a national ideal of beautiful homes when he recently paid tribute to the appealing quality of the modest abode of people of moderate means in the opinion of Gerald Lynton Kaufman, of the New York Chapter of the Amerxcan Institute of Architects. The President’s utterance, made in his recent speech at Mountain Lake, Fla., should prove a stimulus to the movement for bringing harmony of design and environment into every residence community, the New York architect believes. Said President Coolidge: “Some of the most appealng and fascinating homes in the world are small. They may represent but little Outlay and be the abode of people of moderate means, but if there dwells fine character within it will shine forth and give to all the surroundings @® touch of peace and loveliness which the most spacsous palace cannot sur- Mr. Kaufman holds with President Coolidge that beauty is not dependent on largé areas or great heights. He believes that where beauty is lacking in old residences it can be restored at a fair cost by modernization. Activity After War. Ten years ago homes throughout the United States were being remodeled after the war, Mr. Kaufman points out, adding: “The four-year period of enforced neglect of upkeep and repair created an urgent necessity for alterations and repair. Building activity was stirred to intense heat, and In 1920-21 boiled over, with the result that many home owners were scalded by the steam of rising prices. “Since 1921 this ebulition has calmed down to a warm and healthy simmer- ing of labor and material costs, and today home comfort is available to every one willing to pay a fair price for modernizing. “The difference between remodeling and modernizing is more than one. of nomenclature. It is the difference he- tween the trial-and-error method and that of modern science. Behind the newer term lie years of research by architects, engineers, builders and in- dustrial laboratories, into the eco- nomics of reconstruction. “Modernizing must mean far more than simply replacing the obsolete with the up-to-date; it must mean far more than an increase in comfort and con- venience; and it must transcend the mere substitution of the beautiful for the ugly. The economics of moderniz- | ing concerns the resultant value of the | finished home and must stand com- | parison with new corstruction involv- ing @ similar investment, Opportunity for Architect. “But how can the two be compared? How can a home owner weigh in the balance a contemplated expenditure of $5,000 for modernization, as against $25,000 for a new home, and expect to get an intelligent reading of the scales? The answer is, in most cases, that he can not, but here is where the architect may step in to adjust the balance with the weight of his own experience. “The architect ts the only disin- terested expert who can advise whether or not modernization is economically practicable in each particular instance. Mr. John Smith’s house, built in 1910 and worth $15,000 today, may be made to have a remodernization without an appreciation of its resale value to the $18,000 class. “Who is going to tell Mr. Smith what to do, and who is going to advise Mr. Jones what not to do? The manufac- turers and the builders are both hon- est and willing advisers; the products advertised in the newspapers and maga- zines may be just the very things wanted, and the best of their respective kinds’ the builders may give the most reasonable estimates. Yet wo except the architect may stand off beside the owner and view the house from a prop- erly disinterested J erspective, to advise modernization for the Smith house and something else for his neighbor? “Mr. Jones is not to be dismissed by the ‘no’ of eccaomics; neither the manufacturers nor the bullders are go- ing to ‘lose’ Mr. Jones simply because he had the foresight to seek professional advice His old house is no longer sat- isfactory; he considered modernization CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLUMN 4. | CLEVELAND P 4.100-2-8 38th Street Corner of Upton Street =f ARK Near Bureau of Standards brand-new all- $13,500 Six bi = SS AS ME Se = 4 Se Ee ee ARS s r , ad ' ‘ ~ ‘ e - ‘tae 2 , : Pw. * ¢ * * _ er a _ “ DS . 7 ‘ed S d ry il a so ll J T - 4 4 i Ag? £ 4 9 hee de f ate ¥ ~~ © . ’ se - ’ .

The ma- terial dealers and the manufacturers will have sold him three times the amount of home-building merchandise first contemplated, the builder will have signed a contract three times as large, with corresponding profits, and Mr. Jones himself will be $7,000 to the good in the final value of his home. “In meanwhile Smith has not been faring at all badly either. For mod- ernization has been prescriber for his case, and he is taking advantage of the best that is offered for the suc- cess of the operation. He has told his architect that he wishes to invest $5,000 in his home as * now stands, and the architect has assured him of the economic soundness of the idea. Only this is not the full extent of professional service. Deciding on the Roof. “It must be decided in what way the $5,000 can be spent to bes: advan- tage. Shall it be for a new roof, col- ored tile bathrooms, hardwood floors and new shingles on the exterzor? Or should a smaller sum be -spent on the ‘Outside of the nouse simply for re- staining the roof and repainting the shingles, with the greater part of the investment devoted to brass plumbing, @ new heating system, insulation of the walls and plastering on wire lath? “Smith’s house may need one kind of modernizing and the house next to Smith’s an entirely different kind. The architect helps him .ome to a decision, but in doing so discovers an entirely new problem confronting his client. “Smith has now developed § an economic complication: the pressure of enthusiasm and of rising stock mar- ket has gone to his head, ana he now wishes to put 610,000 into moderniza- tion. His architect, however, realiz- ing the superlative value of good will over an increased commission, shows him that the additional expenditure, though it may add to the appearance and comfort of his home, will not raise the resale value. “Economically speaking, $5,000 worth of modernization will raise the market value to $25,000. but $10,000 worth of modernization will raise it only to $26,000—-in Smith's case. Here is where the term modernization supersedes the old idea o6f ‘remodeling,’ for in 1919 Smith would have known no way cf setting a limit to his investment, Estimates Are Procured. “Plans and specifications are drawn up estimates are secured from several local bullders, and finally a contract is signed. Smith and his family move to a hotel, or if they are still wiser they take a trip to the West Indies, and the work proceeds. “The mecessaty thought and care have been expended in advance, and now there is nothing to worry about. The architect need only visit the job from time to time to see that all is going smoothly and in due time Smith can move in again, to a 825.000 home. “The message of modernizing is the message of today ever before the eyes of home owners. But it should be sup- plemented by the qualifying message of caution, which is the word of mod- érn economics. Let us hope that this latter message will prove also a word to the wise, and a sufficient one.” street northwest from Bessie E. Mc- Pherson. This is a detached brick house in Cathedral Highlands. H.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1929. HAS PASSED THE HOUSE Having passed the House of Repre- sentatives by unanimous consent, there is now before the Senate committee on the judiciary a bill providing for the divestiture of Federal liens, enactment of which would be a step toward the against the free sale of real property. The bill is of utmost importance to all owners of real estate, in the opinion of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Passage of the meas- ure, the board states, would permit the United States to be a party defendant in cases in which a mortgagee seeks to foreclose under his prior lien where there has been filed against the real estate a junior lien by the Federal Government, for some debt due the United States by the owner of the equity in the property, and for which the mortgagee owes no n. Effect of the Measure. The effect of the bill on real estate liens as stated by the House committee on the judiciary, in reporting the bill and recommending ite passage, is as follows: “This legislation has been recom- mended * * * in order to relieve against the injustice with which mortgagees are confronted under the present state of the law who find, when it is neces- sary to foreclose their mortgages, that there has been filed against the prop- erty a junior Hen by the Federal Gov- ernment for some debt due the United States by the owner of the property, and for which the mortgagee owes no obligation, either legal or moral. In such circumstances * * * it is im sible for him to bring about a judicial sale of the property owing to the cloud upon the title created by the Govern- ment’s lien. He can not remove the lien, and there is no way by which he may bring the United States in as one of the parties to the foreclosure pro- cedure. He is * * * defeated in his own right to foreclosure unless he is willing to pay off the Government lien, a debt for which he is in no way re- sponsible * * °, “The of this bill is to pro- vide a simple and just method of in such cases, one which is fair to the holder of the prior lien on the /real estate and which amply and fully protects the rights of the Federal Gov- ernment.” The essence of the bill as outlined in the report of the House committee on the judiciary is as follows: “e © * The bill simply provides that whenever a prior lien or encum- brance bill shall have been upon in a State court, and it shall ap- pear that there is filed of record a lien in favor of the United States * * * the plaintiff or plaintiffis * °* * may have the proceedings removed to the United States district court in the district where the property subject to the lien is situated and authorizes the district court to enter an order ez- pressly authorizing the addition of the United States as a party defendant and to proceed to a hearing upon the ques- tion of the priority of the lien of the plaintiff or plaintiffs over the lien held by the United States. After Jeter- mination of the status of the Federal Government’s lien * * * the case shall be remanded to the State court * * * go thet it may proceed to execution and to sale, subject, however, to such order as may be entered by the United States district court, limiting the judgment in the suit as against the rights, if any, of the United States. Urged by Bar Association. “e © * The bill further provides that the lien of the United States upon the property in question shall be sub- ject to discharge from said property by the judicial sale ordered by the State court in the same manner as may be) provided by the State law as to other liens and that the United States shall be relegated to the fund produced by such sale * * *. The procedure pro- vided allows the State court to retain its jurisdiction over the real estate, sav- ing only to the Federal Government the right. to determine the status of its lien in. its own court. “It is hoped that Congress will speedily enact this legislation.” The bill was originally drafted by the American Bar Association. In the form in which it d the House it was redrafted in the House judiciary committee. Alcoholic Deaths Drop In Postwar Prussia ——— Berlin, Feb. 16 (A-P.).—Deaths from chronic alcoholism in Prussia have de- creased about 50 per cent, compared with the last prewar year, 1913, the reduction being from 913 cases to 516. The improvement is still more re- markable when it is considered that Prussis has an increased population on a smaller area than before the war and that the general death rate is now Horses Might Laugh At Slow Paris Buses Paris, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—Horses that once drew the omnibuses in Paris streets might chuckle if they could read the time tables of modern high speed motor buses. Traffic congestion is blamed, but it ig true that the slow going horses made almost as good speed as the six-wheeled gasoline craft that replaced them. On two of the routes across town the time tables of the buses is just 15 per cent faster than that of horses a genera- tion ago. ee a a a A aa 3811 CHEVY KANAWHA CHASE, D. C.

The finish of the fourth round of the club championship tournament now in progress at the chess unit of the City Club found Chess Director G. E. Bishop and Carl A. Hesse in a tie for premier ‘honors. The two leaders played their jndividual game in round five last i night, but the outcome was in doubt as we go to press. The winner of this game will occupy & commanding posi- tion which bids fair to determine ‘the holder of the titular honors. Both Bishop and C. A. Hesse won ‘their games in round four. The former defeated A. Y. Hesse in twelve moves when his adversary obligingly blund- | ered and lost a piece. Carl Hesse en- countered more resistance on the part of Bettinger but managed to win a well-played game after a hard struggle. District champion F. B. Walker -kept | close on the leaders’ heels by virtue of a victory over Roberts. Knapp defeated M. C. Stark in the remaining game of the round, Knapp scored another point when he won his adjourned game with Roberts from round three. Bettinger also won his third round game from A. Y. Hesse after the latter had obtained a winning position only to throw his chances to the winds. A. Y. Hesse won -his game against M. C. Stark, however, which had been postponed from the second round, The standing of the players: Player. W. L.| Player. 5 G. E. Bishop. 342 ‘%/E. M. Knapp.. 2 C. A. Hesse... 342 ‘2'C.C.Bettinger. 1 F. B.

Furn left at Rhode Island ave. & 17th tioned being the challenger. A rather peculiar state of affairs exists at the City Club at present with regard to the holder of the club championship title. Before the amalgamation of the Capital City Chess Ciub with the City Club Mr. Byler was a memoer of both organizations and was the . acknowl- edged chess champion of the City Club. Under the rules of the Capital City Club, however, the holder of the club championship title must preserve nis right to fhat honor by winning the annual club championship tourna- ment. Once won in tournament play, the rules provide that the winner shall hold the‘ title for the ensuing year and not be subject to match challenge for the title. Mr. Byler created a Chinese puzzle when he failed to enter the Son championship tourney now in progress and continued to claim. the titular honors of the City Club. Under such conditions it will make necessary the establishment of both a match and & tournament clup champion. unless the chess unit simply refuses to recognize Mr. Byler’s former title. Bettinger’s action in challenging, however, merely adds flame to the con- troversy. The outcome of the match will, therefore, undoubtedly be followed with more than usual interest. The match agreement makes the winner the first player to score three won games, draws not counting. with the added proviso that the. match is not to ex- ceed: ten games. Stakes have been posted with chess Director Bishop by both parties which it is understood the match winner will donate to the club for the purpose of establishing a permanent book record of all individual matches contested in the club which merit such attention. Needless to say, the games of the present match will constitute the first of this series. Dr. Rueb Considers Protest. |} Team Captain Norman T. Whitaker, of this city, has received official notice from Dr. A. Rueb regarding the formal protest of the Washington Team on the Goldstein versus Walker partie in the Washington-London cable match. In . lettter dated February 2 Dr. Rueb in- forms the local captain that the pro- test has reached The and that the proper officials of the International Chess Federation will give the matter their immediate attention. Their aeci- sion will be given out, however, only after careful consideration of the de- tails involved. Solutions to Problems. Problem No. 301 \yields to two keys, namely, B—KR5 and Q—Q5ch. Jacob Frech and J. W. Harris were the only solvers detecting both moves. Amonz others who sent in solutions were *he Hon. Roy G. Fitzgerald, Clair J. Bress- ler, H. W. Wiley, jr.. Forrest V. Wheeler, Hillman C. Harris, Joseph F. Robinson. Col, John W. Joyes, P. L. Reed and Vin- cent L. Eaton. A belated reply to No. 300 was also réceived from Mr. Rob- inson. Jacob Frech writes: “In a position in which black K is prevented by his own forces from moving along a rank (or file), white Q and B, alone, each two squares from him on his file (or rank) mate him. This principle, in its two forms, respectively, is teautifully illus- trated by variations resulting from the two keys Q—Q5 and B—KR5, and this fact suggests that the problem was de- signed to be a two-mover.” Hillman C. Harris comments, “Again ‘Mac’ has handed down an exceedingly simple problem. The keymove is one that occurred to me first. I am not a problem composer but I think that the very tdlented MclIlvane ought to submit more difficult problems than his latest pair have been.. The sides could also be more even. I offer these suggestions in accordance with the last | sentence in your. column.” P. L. Reed remarks; “Quickly saw that black king must be preverted. from moving to Kt3. Only three ways for white to do this.” Vincent L. Eaton writes, “This was one of the eastiest problems I have ever solved.” Joseph F. Robinson terms it, “A very clever problem and one that I did not solve easily.” He adds, “In fact I tried 'the keymove among others before I realized that I had dverlooked several of the possibilities whici: gave the prop- ‘er mate. White has lex than 40 pos- sible moves as the pieces are placed and I think I tried them all before deciding that the keymove was B—K5.” A three-mover by E. J. Kassel will ap- pear next Sunday. A two-mover by F. V. Wheeler has been received and will receive immediate attention. Incidentially, Col. Joyes and readers ‘all, ye scribe has pulled a “bone.” Mr. MclIivane’s No. 298 was indeed solved by Q—QBsq, RxR, and R—B2 Today’s offering is a three-mover by | Harvey W. Wiley, jr. Compositions of ' this young local problemist have pre- | viously been received with great favor and we trust the present one will prove no exception.

Seized with 450 sailors on board Ger- man merchant ships near Guam at the | outbreak of the World War, the oficers | spent many months in military camps | in this country, finally coming to Fort McPherson, Atianta. | Camp life, with the leisure accorded | them through courteous observance of international law, soon palled on them. They wan something to do, so the camp co nder permitted them to grow truck on a smal] tract. They made such a success of it that when they were released the commandant helped them rent a farm on the out- skirts of Atlanta. It took more money to grow truck | than they had, so they started with chickens. They won at Georgia fairs, and their purebred stock soon was in good demand. With profits from their poultry they bought ten Jersey c@ws and soon butter and milk. Mean- while’ they began planting truck and adding acre after acre as their capital permitted. Then they built a small house—they had been living in tents— mare some help and expanded opera- tions. In the 10 years since their incar- cerations, the Germans have advanced their cultivated area to 30 acres. Their farm, near the Federal prison, produces & year around income. They are marketing about 50 bushels of spinach aday. It brings $1.25 a bushel because they take good care in selecting the product.

ee FURTHER RECESSIONS NECORDED BY BONDS|— Few Scattered Issues Im- prove Convertibles and Cop- pers Lead Downward. FOREIGN LIST IRREGULAR New York, Feb. 16 (A.P.).—The bond market continued its downward course today, although a few scattered issues showed improvement. Irades consider the advance in bankers acceptance rates to above the Federal Reserve re- discount rate and threats of an advance in the rate itself as very discouraging to bond buying. Trading was light, sales totaling $5,152,000. The decline was led by the Conver- tibles and Coppers. Anaconda Copper We dropped to 199 and rallied at the end to 200%, down 2% points fron. Friday's closing jevel. The 6s were frac- tionally lower. Alleghany Corporation Ss and American Internationa! 5%, which have dominated trading since their admission to trading this year, were again heavy. International Telephone Convertible 4%8 got down to 112% but recovered t of their loss. Federal Light « tion 5s rallied from the iow ievei for the year to close 14 puints net higher at 9614. Public Service of New Jersey 444s continued their slump with @ 3-point drop to 185. This issue sold as high as 206 this year. The New York Tractions ruled firm On the prospect of a higher fare. New York Central general 3%s led the de- cline in the high grade rails, falling 2% to a new low for the year at 77%. Trading in the irregular foreign list Was restricted to a few issues. Pirelli Je déciined nearly 2 points. U. & Government obligations were mixed. Curb bonds were irregular. As- sociated Gas & Electric issues were strong, rising 1% to 3 points.

he Was WASHINGTON: SUNDAY, ington FEBRUARY 17, 1929. | Swapping Tobacco" On Something of the “Friendly Enmity” ‘ihat Exists Behind the Scenes of Bitter Partisanship in the Halls of Congress— The Solons, After All, Are Only Humans, Plucked From Average Strata of American Life—Anecdotes and Egoism of the Great and Near Great. By J. BART CAMPBELL. AKING a sock at the senatorial or con- gressional nose has long been a popular indoor sport with wisecracking critics who wear out much typewriter ribbon setting themselves up as debunkers of who's who and what's what within the historic stone pile on the hill at Washington. Taking a senator or a congressman for a tongue-lashing ride has long been a favorite pastime with those who step right up when the barker of the All-American Show yam- mers, “Three balls for a nickel, seven for a dime, and the Almighty Dollar coming to you if you ‘hit Congress on the bean!” Panning Congress delights the wise guy who broadcasts, “You big bum!” from the comfortable safety of an isolated grand stand seat when Babe Ruth fails to connect with the leather sphere for a home fun. Doubtless there are times when Congress deserves to be cracked on the bean by the hal! pt public opinion. Congress is human. But that is what those who are always hammering at Congress seem. to lose sight of—that Con- gress is human. : ee They are all human, are the men, and the sacaahat, who fight it out in our largest legisla- tive arena as to what’s best for these United States of America. If they were not human they would not be sitting in Senate or House. As senators or representatives they reflect faithfully all of the varied phases of the hu- > man complex which go to make up the many ‘millions who live in such diverse ways and en- » tertain such conflicting opinions under the piggishn or Fy - -ghould at * who are int be > S “thy A * a red tes ‘human nature usually do. Fé, individually and collectively; they are where they are,- individually .and collectively, just because they are just humans come from every cross-section of American life. It is, therefore, not unnatural or surprising that those who sneer at Main Street, or at ‘Wall Street, should sneer at Congress; that ttack wealth, position, success, Congress; that those who de- as high-brow, or the boob as ould deride Congress; that those rant of error or frailty should be intolerant of Congress; that those who are envious of the will to do and the ability to work should be envious of Congress. What superior critics do not appear to : is that Congress is the full pack of human nature, from aces to deuces. Potshots at Congress frequently find a k. No less and no more than potshots at But potshots at gress might be less frequent if self-cre- intelligentsia who assume a holier-than- Congress pose were to bear in mind what somebody once remarked about those who live in glass houses, Fortunately many members of Congress are not lacking in humor. Just as_most humans are not devoid of humor. Otherwise potshots might rankle more than they do. Congress is, those who ride the gi low-brow, ” after all, but an interesting, and often color- ful, part of the old human game of give and take. It is a game the so-called intelligentsia refuse to play. Their modest contention is that only they can be right. At a testimonial! dinner once tendered Uncle S Joe Cannon by a number of his Democratic as well as Republican colleagues long before his | yetirement from the House, the late former z ; + 4 Po OO ee Stake gee pe. (At right) The late Senator La Follette, whose violent differences of opinion did not impair his warm friendship with Senator Boise Penrose, late Republican leader, shown above. conduct at Washington that I do not under- stand. How is it that you and old Unele Joe Cannon are so fond of each other?’ ‘l first began to know Uncle Joe when he was chairman of the House appropriations committee,” continued Williams. “It was not long before I learned that he had the longest nose for a fraud or a job of any man in the-House. It was not long before I acquired the habit of crossing the aisle sepa- rating the Democratic from the Republican side of the House and saying to Uncle Joe, “What about this?’ when I wanted to know something about an appropriation bill, and he would say, ‘Sharp, there’s a job in that.’ there’s something about it that I don’t e.” “I would then recross the aisle, back to the Democratic side, and with perfect confi- dqnce, array as many members as I could against the proposition Uncle Joe didn’t like. and support the Republican appropriations committee on the word of the Republican chairman behind it.’’ Thus did Canon, stand-pat Republican, and. Williams, Bourbon Democrat, ‘‘swap tobacco.”’ Those who remember Cannon, Underwood and Williams know they were not of the kind to “swap tobacco,” to compromise, if there was anything wrongful about it. And yet probably no man in public life was condemned and misrepresented and cari- catured more often by Congress baiters than was Uncle Joe Cannon. ‘Cannonism” be- came a political byword as, when Speaker of the House, he applied vigorously rules for legislative procedure and debate from which the bitterest criticism isiled to deter him. And, with Cannon and bis rules and his in- evitable cigar in mind, a kindly critic once wrote: “You may break, you may shatter, The rules if you will, But the Cannon aroma Will hang to them still.” “Swapping tobacco” is but one of the any phases of the humanly congressional ame of give and take which permits the gislative hinery, particularly! in the ise, to ble along through a session to a not altogether unsuccessful or unsatisfac- tory conclusion despite the speech-making and the filibustering and the lobbying which play their human part in the human comings and goings of 96 senators and 435 repre- sentatives. : rior to the tended to r lati ve t.

The Senate’s opportunities for open and unre- stricted discussion and its simple, compara- tively unencumbered forms of procedure, un- Questionably enable it to fulfill, with very considerable success, its high functions as a chamber of revision.” , This from Woodrow Wilson, the university professor. of course, not from Woodrow WiI- son, the President of the United States, who sy Ba bustering, or unlimited speechmaking, both hé and his partisans had much to say. The talkative senator has often been singled out as to the champion wind-jammer of -legisla- tive history. Of a filibustering minority, John Sharp Williams once commented, “We of the Senate, seven-eighths of us, are con- fined, manacled, bound, helpless and con- temptible, because we have no way in the world of expressing a legislative opinion.” The House, on the other hand, preens itself in the belief that it possesses more efficient rules, a more efficient business organization than the Senate; upon its being the direct agent of the people, inasmuch as its member- ship is measured by each State’s population, whereas the Senate is composed of two sena- tors from each State, be that State thickly or sparsely populated. Be that as it may, the Senate and House, comprising, respectively, 96 and 435 humans, hold between them the destiny of 100,000,000 people from among whom, rightly or wrongly, senators and representa- Underwood and Underwood | SOS cane Se £55 VIS OR RPO DOS CO OR es Oe Ay > OO oe) ‘s DPR aes se ae xe SEAS . eee Same : SSPE R SEIS FES SE SSRIS SD re Sy ADP R ST A RS Ss a Ser ee ZESLS PIR a ae Se Sn .

Penrose once remarked to this writer that LaFollette would have made either a good pugilist or a good actor, Penrose never made any bones about his warm liking for La Follette, although the two men were invariably at daggers drawn politically. And, when in the midst of the boiling passions of World War days, a move was made to throw La Follette out of the Sen- ate because he voted against the entry of the American people into the great conflict, it hose friendships overbalanced his partisanship, and (left) the late fore _mer Senator : rT Oscar W...

It was, perhaps, the strength and the weakness of the human being p se Follette by each that drew them instinctively into 4 well-cemented friendship. It was that la ing friendship between these two colorful mea that caused. pedestrians on Pennsylvania ave- nue to once rub their eyes. Down from the Capitol rolled the big red-car Penrose had manufactured especially to accommodate huge frame. Towering above a much er man upon the spacious rear seat, Penrose rode serenely. He was laughing at some quip the much smaller man had made. Two men - could hardly have appeared more at peace, more at ease, And yet the much smaller man was “Bob” La Follette. Such friendships are not uncommon on the Hill. Pat Harrison, the Mississippi senator; will spend hours lambasting the Republican side, and then be found, with warm smile and twinkling eyes, mingling with his politica) foes “off side.”” Senator Tom Heflin, of Ala- bama, will rave for hours about the iniquities of Wall street and of Republican rule, and then later convulse a group of Republican sen- ators in the marble room off the Senate cham- ber —_ humorous “darkey” yarns he sping so well. ; Seldom does the rancor of politics, the bitterness of legislative differences’ cause a senator to refuse to speak to a colleague, or to decline to break bread with him in the pri- vate dining room reserved for senators just below the Senate chamber. Nor is an un sua spectacle for Republican and Democratic representatives to mingle in the lobby off the House chamber, or to seat themselves. to- gether upon the soft couches ranged in « row along one side of that lobby. The.chief. worry of senator or representa- tive is, perhaps, his constituency. How te induce the voters back home to .keep him in his seat ig always a vexatious preblem, especially with a House member who must run for reelection every two years. Hence you will find much in the Congresisonal’ Réc- ord that is intended for the eyes of the home. folks, although much of it will reflect the long, often tedious, legislative grind to which many senators and representatives must sub- ject themselves without much hope of re celving credit where credit is due. The Congressional Record is essentially a human document in which the human say- ings and doings of human beings are set forth, frequently with unconscious humor, often with amusing seriousness, that all may read. The Congressional Record is as human as the Senate and the House themsélves, It is the custom of House members, par- ticularly, to insert in appendices to the Rec- ord, which are printed after a session has ended, a summary of their legislative activi- ties for the benefit of their respective eon- gressiona! districts. “For the information of the splendid people of the Second Congressional Diatrict, whom I ‘have had the honor to represent in Congress for the last fourteen years, and | who have been so loyal to me, I feel that I should make an epitomized statement of the record — have made during that time in this great | — ™ G 4 - CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLUMNS. || ‘ :* ; . ae . ; ~ ~ : asaes gt ee ee, Be ? * * . a £ be *e os Ys a 3 % ia"

He always took care to stand a little in the rear of Brink- low’s chair, and to lower his head when he trans- lated for him. Presently a great jabbering was heard amongst the Kakisas outside the cabin—it appeared they could be animated enough when not under the paralyzing eye of a white man; the door opened, and a man ducked his head under the lintel] and straightened up inside. “Ahkanetah,” announced St, Paul, with a wave of the hand. He was very tall for a Kakisa, tall as a white man. McNab took to him like a shot. He was the kind of savage that a boy imagines, but rarely meets in after life. His first glance was for the girl. They exchanged a poignant look that gave the lie to those who claim the redskins are incapable of a romantic passion. She lowered her head, and McNab could see the teardrops twinkle in the candlelight as ey fell in her lap. “The young Kakisa was plainly intimidated by the presence of white men, nevertheless he kept his head up. Advancing to the table, he gravely offered his hand first to Brinklow and then to McNab, saying: “How!” the only English word he knew. St. Paul, scandalized, made as if to push him back from the table, but Brinklow stretched out his left hand to restrain him, and unhesitatingly grasped Ahkanetah’s in his right. McNab followed sult. For St. Paul’s benefit, Brinklow said: “We look upon & man as innocent until he’s proved guilty. From somewhere in the background St. Paul now brought forward a gleaming black pelt that he handled with respect. “This is the black fox that started al] the trouble,” he said. McNab looked at it with strong curiosity. This freak of nature was the rarest and greatest prize of the north. Many trappers live their whole lives through without seeing one. In the lustrous, jetty expanse of it there was not a white hair to be seen except the tip of the beautiful brush, which was snowy. “Who brought it to you?” asked Brinklow. “Etzgooah,” said St. Paul, with a nod toward _ cn et es h give evidence.” “Then let Etzooa e . The little Kakisa came forward, masking his fright with a sullen, hangdog air like a schoolboy, and laid his hand upon the Bible. It appeared from his answers to Brinklow’s questions, as translated by St. Paul, that he knew the nature of an oath. He told his story, and St. Paul, standing a little behind Brinklow’s chair, repeated it in his agreeable voice. “Btzooah say,” he began, “three days before big Christmas dance Ahkanetah come back from his traps at night. Bring black fox. He make give black fox to Etzooah for to marry Marya. But Etzooah say he not take black fox right away. Got think it over. Etzooah say he want give his girl to Mahchoogah for to marry, because Mah- choogah be head man when old Tatateecha die. So he think much. He think; well, a black fox is a black fox. Mahchoogah never give me black fox. And-anyhow, Marya like Ahkanetah better than Mahchoogah. So Etgooah go to Ahkanetah. Say all right. Take black fox. It is fix for Ahka- netah and Marya get marry when the ice go out, and people pitch down river.” “All right,” said Brinklow, “the black fox is established. That is all I want from Btzooah now.” The little man sat down. “Let me get this straight,” the sergeant went on to St. Paul. “when did Etzooah bring the fur to you?” “The same night he got it. That is threc nights before Christmas.” * “What do you value it at?” A canny trading look veiled St. Paul’s eyes. “A few years ago,” he said, smoothly, “a fine black fox would sell for $1,500 in the cities, but now it is worth less because men are raising silver foxes on ft , and sometimes they get one all-black in a li ae ee “You don’t need to explain your prices,” Brink- low interrupted dryly. “What did you give for this one?” “The worth of $500 in traue,” said St. Paul. “Have you credited Etzooah with that amount?’ “No,” said St. Paul, prudently. “If Ahkanetah stole this skin he had no right to give it to Et- zooah. I am waiting to find out how the trial de- cides.” Brinklow glanced at the handsome, impassive young redskin sitting by the door. “Is Ahkenetah charged with theft or murder?”-he asked, “Both.”. said St. Paul, a tically. Tatateecha took the oath. ing to his age, he was permitted to sit while testifying. Like the gentleman he was, he told his story in a courteous and conciliatory manner, with quaint and graphic gesticulations and a set smile. He seemed to have no particular feeling one way r the other, and this made his evidence very ng to the accused. “Tatateecha say he is friend of Dave Torrens,” St. Paul began. “Say he know white men’s ways. Say he has got much love for white men.” Brinklow bowed in ackuowledgment of the com- pliment, and Tatateecha bowed again. “Tatateecha say he old now.” St. Paul went on. “Soon die. Say got no sons. Say Mahchoogah who is dead is his brother’s son, Mahch h like son to him. Tatateecha tell the old men make Mahchoogah head man when he die. All is agreed. Tatateecha say Ai.kanetah is his sister's son, Say Ahkanetah got bad thoughts against Mahchoogah. Ahkanetah want to be head man when old man die——”’ Brinklow held up his hand. “Try to make him understand,” he said, “without hurting his feel- ings, that he must stick to what he saw with his own eyes. Tell him it is our way at a trial.” This being repeated to the old man, he bowed politely and resumed, St. Paul interpreting: “Tat- ateecha sa> the young men is comin’ in for dig Christmas dance. He watch for Mahchoogah. Mahchoogah no come. All come but no Mahchoo- gah. Tatateecha say in the night a voice that do not speak, the voice that comes to the old say to him: ‘Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Go find Mahchoogah’ ” The old man watched St. Paul’s lips sharply while he interpreted his words, as if he hoped to surprise the secret of the strange English sounds with his eyes. As soon as St. Paul stopped he be- gan again. St. Paul repeated: “Tatateecha say, in the morn- ing he wake his little boy, his daughter’s son. Make hitch the dogs and drive to Mahchoogah’s camp beside the falls of Heart River. Tatateecha sit on sled; boy guide.” “How far was Mahchoogah’s camp?” interrupted Brinklow. “Not far. Half hour.” “Go on.”’ The old man acted out the next scene with élo- quent facial play and explicit gesticulation. The white men could almost see what he was saying. St. Paul repeated: “Tatateecha say he comw to ah’s camp. All is very still. The snow lie smooth all around. The fir branches are heavy with snow. Mahchoogah’s fire is out and the snow lie deep on the ashes. Beside his fire Mah- choogah got little windbreak of spruce branches to lie in. Tatateecha look under there. Wah! Mah- choogah is lying dead and froze with Ahkanetah’s arrow sticking in his heart!” | St. Paul brought this out ‘vith good effect. There was a silence in the cabin. The old man’s head was shaking out of sheer weakness; the polite smile etched on his lips, Gosh! thought McNab: how horrible to get so old you can’t feel anything any more! Brinklow’s face was that of the judge, betraying nothing. “How do you know it’s Ahkanetah’s ar- row?” he asked. “Got eagle feathers in the shaft” St. Paul re- peated after Tatateecha, “Only Ahkanetah got eagle feathers. Only Ahkaneteh can kill with his ar- rows. Kill moose, kill bear with arrows.” “You say there was fresh snow lying all around?” : said Brinklow. “When had it fallen?” The answer came back: “Three nights before.” “Was that before or after Ahkanetah brought the black fox home?” “Snow fall when Ahkanetah come.” “Light snow or heavy snow?” “Light snow.

When he find the hairs in the trap he know for sure that Ahkanetah kill Mahchoogah, so he go no further. He come back to the tepees and tell. Men 40 and bring in the body.” “Where was AhKanetah then?” “Tatateecha say Ahkanetah go help bring body. Say AhkKanetah make like he surprised Mahchoo- gah is dead. He make his face to lie.” “Ask Tatateecha to describe .xactly how he found the body.” “Tatateecha say, Mahchoogah lyin’ on his back under the slanting roof of spruce boughs. There is not much snow on him. He wrapped in his blanket, but the top part fall off him. There is pieces ice on his eyes, under his chin. His gun is beside him under the blanket.” A wouldn't have lain down in the snow of his own accord since his shelter was right here. He must have fallen at full length. Therefore, he was struck down standing.” “But the shooting of a bow isn’t instantaneous,” objected McNab. “If he was wide awake and stand- ing up, | don’t see how * * * ” “Well, neither do I,” said Brinklow dryly. After supping in the cabin, the two policemen went down to I t the body. It had been dark for a couple of hours, but they had their flash- lights. A good fire had been kept burning in the tepee all day, and the frozen flesh had yielded to its warmth. Brinklow was now able to move the imbedded arrow freely. Closing his eyes, and guiding himself solely by the sense of touch, he moved it delicately in the wound as a surgeon uses & probe. Having satisfied himself of what he wished to ? ee ot ee ee ee sort aay “pst! de eat ek game wi ae aa ee te a “Well, what did you find out?” he asked in his pleasant voice. as Brinklow flung his long body on the bed, and pulled out his pipe. , “Nothing conclusive,” he sald lazily. “But you're satisied who did it, ain’t you?” “Oh, yes, I'm * said ews | McNab pulled up a box, and effaced the shadowy alde of the shack. ee that whenever careless, lazy manner there was something “St. Paul, you’re a queer fellow,” Brinklow The half breed smiled with gratified vanity. “Don't you ever do any hunting or trapping nese?

Through St. Paul the answer came: ‘“Tatateecha says Ahkanetah come by Mahchoogah’s:camp. Find Machoogah sleepin’. Ahkanetah kneel down other side fire, pull bow reagy, yell to Mahchoogah. Mahchoogah start up, look, and Ahkanetah let the arrow fly; ping! Mahchoogah fall down on back with blanket half off.” It had a a very convincing ring. Ignorant sav- age though he might be, Tatateecha was no fool. “Let us hear what Ahkanetah has got to say for himself,” said Brinklow. At the sound of his name, the young man leaped up as if he were on a spring. Laying a hand upon the Bible, he swore to tell the truth. He spoke so fast in his strange, clicking tongue St. Paul had to stop him to get it straight. He was excited, but the nature of his emotion was obscure. “Ahkanetah say,” repeated St. Paul, deprecat- ingly, “he catch the blatk fox in his trap under big rock beside island where canoe trees grow. He say you won't find any black hairs in his trap, because he clean it when he sat it again. He say he stop by Mahchoogah’s camp when he come home, They talk. Say he got no bad feelings to- ward -Mahchoogah. Feel good because he catch black fox. Goin’ give black fox to Etzooah for Marya. Ahkanetah say he don’ want be head man of Kakisas. Only want marry Marya.” “Ahkanetah say he not show Mahchoogah black fox. Hide it in his pack. Say he talk friends to Mahchoogah. Shake hands. He say Mahchoogah is not when he leave him. Ahkanetah say that is his arrow stickin’ in Mahchoogah's body, but he not fire it. Ahkanetah say that arrow is stole from him.” McNab listened to this with a cynical feeling. It occurred to him that the excuses of an accused red man bore a suspicious resemblance to those of a white man in a similar case. Human nature was much the same everywhere, Brinklow, it seemed, felt the same because he made no at- tempt to cross-examine Ahkanetah. All he said was: “Tell Ahkanetah to give me his knife.” The young man drew the hunting knife from the sheath hanging at his belt and handed it over. His face was unreadable. Had he any other knife, Brinklow asked. No. Brinklow subjected the blade to a careful scrutiny under the microscope while everybody watched. He then handed it back without comment. After dinner Brinklow and McNab set off on snowshoes to take a look at the scene of the crime. It was their first opportunity to talk together without hearers. “Brink,” said the younger man, “don't it strike you there’s something shifty about St. Paul?” It’s true he looks straight at you, but you can't see into his eyes.” “Sure,” said Brinklow, calmly, “crooked as a ram’s horn. Those educated breeds are generally the worst.” “But, gosh!” said McNab, much disturbed. “Every word of the evidence has got to come to us sifted through him.¥ “There’s a cerain danger,” said Brinklow, serenely, “but it’s not as great as you might think, it takes swift thinking on the part of an in- terpreter to falsify testimony as it comes through him. We were right there to check up on the looks and gestures of the witnesses. Besides,” he added, after a pause, “it may not have been nec- essary for St. Paul to alter anything.” “What do you mean by that?” demanded Mc- Nab, with a look of surprise. Brinklow shrugged. “Nothing is clear to me yet,” he said. Coming to the smaller stream that the natives called Heart River, they turned to the left through untrodden snow. Much snow had fallen since the night of the tragedy; the evergreen trees stood drooping under it like figures of woe. It was fairly open among the trees. In about a quarter of a mile they came to the place where the stream tumbled down from the hills, but the waters were stilled now. They might easily have missed the exact spot of Mahchoogah's camp, for the weight of snow had broken down his filmsy shelter, but Brinklow’s shafp eye detected the elight uneven- ness it made in the universa! white blanket. Using one of his snowshoes for a shovel, Brink- low threw off the snow and raised the roof of spruce boughs, Beneath, they saw the bright drops of Mahchoogah’'s life blood frozen to the boughs on which he had lain. In front of his shelter they located the site of his campfire. More than a foot of snow now lay on the charred em- bers, and this gave them the measure of what had fallen since the fatai night. Brinklow now made McNab wait a little to one side while, with a sort of broom that he fash- loned out of spruce boughs, he swept the fresh snow from from the site, It was a lengthy pro- ceeding, for he stopped often to measure the snow and to examine it. Finally he called McNab and showed him some pink stains in the old snow. “What do you make of that?” asked the younger man. “I take it some bloody article was washed by the fire that night,” said Brinklow, “and the water thrown on the snow.” Further sweeping presently laid bare on the other side of the fire wide crimson splotches frozen deep into the snow. ‘Good God!’ exclaimed McNab, “this doesn’t bear out Tatateecha’'s theory of the crime.” “Not that you'd notice,” said Brinklow dryly. “Mahchoogeah was murdered outside, and his body afterward laid under the shelter.” Around the crimson stains the old snow ap- peared to be packed down harder than elsewhere, and by using a little branch with the most delicate care and blowing the lighter snow away, Brinklow finally revealed before McNab's astonished eyes the plain print of a human body lying full Jength in the old snow. Further excavations showed how it had been picked up under the arms, turned around and dragged towards the shelter. The murderer had evidently worn snowshoes. The fragmentary tracks they uncovered were useless as evidence. “The body lay quiet,” said Brinklow musingly. “There was no struggle. Well, Mahchoogah know, he set about removing the arrow. He could not pull the barb out without making fresh lacera- tions so, first taking care to notch the shaft to show the depth of the wound, he thrust it thro the body, cut off the head and pulled out t shaft. The arrow head was a cleverly fashioned homemade affair of steel, an inch and a quarter wide from barb to barb. “Just as 1 thought,” said Brinklow. “He was not killed by this arrow. He was stabbed first and the arrow afterwards thrust into the wound. Look!” ’ McNab could see for a fact that the wound in the man’s breast was over 2 inches wide. “But nobody has a knife with a blade as wide.as that,” he objected. “Sure, they haven't,” said Brinklow, “but a knife thrust from a stabbing arm never goes in perfectly straight. There's a certain downward play that widens the wound of entrance. It may have been done by a knife with a narrow biade. * * * Moreover, one of his ribs is broken,” he went on, feeling of the man’s breast. “Must have been a terrific blow, that. Drove the knife up to the hilt, of course. The arrow was not thrust quite all the way to the bottom of the original wound as I found when I probed it. 1 am there- Tore able to establish the depth of the wound. zs was made by a knife with a Dilade 6 inches ong.” “That’s odd,” sald McNab, “the sheath knives sr oh by all these fcllows are a good 8 inches ong.” “Sure,” said Brinklow, “and they are always furnished with a guard at the hilt. Now, the knife that killed this poor fellow had no guard. You might say it was damned odd without exag- gerating.” “By gad!” said McNab suddenly, “Ahkanetah’s Knife was at least 8 inches long, and that had a& guard on it!” In the cabin St. Paul Torrens was sitting at his little table reading the Bible by the light of two candles. Aa the two white men entered he closed the book with his deprecating smile. Hig glasses had a friendly beam in the candle light. ; “Well, that’s fine,” said ¥. “Must be hard on an intelligent man self to be exiled among these KEakisas for six months in the year.” .. ? “It's hellish,” said St.Paul with an alr don't know how I a Z:: | like yourselves to | “They seem mild enough,” said Brinklow ."That’s only a cover for their deviltry. that fellow Ahkanetah.

By PRESTON WRIGHT. ENRY Ill of France H was mighty fond of birds and espe- cially vf canaries. He possesseu some exceed- ingly fine spec Mens of the latter, and he en- deavored to still further improve the breed by scientific ombDinations of cross-breeds. The ideal canary, ac- cording to the chronic- lers of that day, must be lithe of figure, moderate in height, dead yellow in color, and having a strong bill and a bril- liant voice. It was partly through Henry UI ‘that chick- weed became widely used as a favorite food for canaries. He thus gave a sort of popularity to a "lant which had been rather neglected for a century preceding his time. This is interesting, because, in the day of Charles VI, chickweed had had very important uses. Guibert du Celsoy, his physician, used it medicinally to treat the king when the latter’s mind bec: me affected, and the effect was supposed herve been salutary. For some time, too, perfunters employed it in the preparation of cosmetics, and cooks served it in salads and soups. Chickweed became a food for canaries through the following circumstances, Seeking to improve his birds, Henry III sought everywhere for infor- mation he could make use of. One of his court- iers brought back word from Holiand, where there was a considerable trade in the birds, that sprigs of chickweed were habitually put in their cages at which they delighted to peck. It was supposed by the Hollanders that the her’ protected them from various diseases. Henry immediately began to use chickweed in the royal aviary, but with more enthusiasm than intelligence. He fairly stuffed his birds’ cages with the plant. Many of his pets fell victims to a disease which was promy*'y chris*'-sd ‘astriction”"—aq kina of dry colic. Henry prom,tly banished chickweed from the bird cages of the Louvre. But not for long. One morning, while on his way to his devotions ; ' , | ih : feenth ‘| i | ‘ (\ \ \ “Do you know that this accursed plant has poisoned all the king's canaries?” at the Church of St. Severinus, he heard some canaries singing beautifully in a house in the Rue St. Jacques. He at once entered and, following the voices of the birds, came into # very fine aviary. full of singing canaries, Looking about, Henry was astonished to find chickweed in every cage. Addressing a young man who came forward to meet him, he said: “Do you not know that this accursed plant has poisoned all the king’s birds?’ “So I have heard,” replied the young man. “But I surmise that those of the king’s attendants charged with gathering chickweed made @ mistake. They have gathered a plant greatly resembling it, named ‘anagallis,” which is poisonous to birds. The true chickweed, the morgelline, refreshes them and preserves them from sickness.” The king listened to this information deeply absorbed. “Where did you learn all this young man?” he asked. This question brought the surprising statement from the owner of the aviary that he was Charles du Celsoy, a great-nephew of that Guibert du Cel. soy who, as head physician to Charles VI, had used the chickweed to cure him of insanity, He had inherited the manuscripts of his great-uncle ree lating to the use of chickweed. Henry HI laughed. ; ‘wee shall be head physician to my birds,” he said. Du Celsoy accepted the place, and chidkweed thereafter was recognized in Paris as the proper food for canaries.

Row With the Navy. Yet the officers serving at the Military Academy have a tendency to clap their hands to their ears when any one suggests reopening the discussion of the row with the Navy. T do not see how any one who has taken an in- telligent interest in the affair can believe that the Military Academy brings in old varsity stars from the colleges and genties them along in elective liste of studies, such as penman- and elocution, so that they may be ngressmen s and chattered noisily in Washington in order to share the publicity. The Army certainly would have lost the fight right. there if there had been the slightest evidence that the football players at the Point were favored cadets. The two congressmen had access to all the information there was, and the very fact that they could adduce nothing but inuendo and abuse would seem to vindicate the motives of the foot- ball cadets and the democracy of the West Point When the Army had proved that there was no discrimination in favor of old college players the superintendent went further and said he would be damned, or official language of that import, if he would discriminate against thera.

They make much boast of their hard regime, but the one at Sing Sing just a few miles down the Hudson is harder, and the warden doesn’t call his boys supermen. The difference is that the Army cadets take their hard life eagerly, yoluntarily, with honor their only goal, for men don’t get rich in the Army. There is nobody walking the wall with a rifle to deter them if they de- cide to chuck it; no challenge but that of the small, still voice. But let a cadet chuck it, and | imagine the posse pursues him more or less hotly all the rest of his life, coming close enough at times to reach him with a yell of “You flinched!” Flinch is a serious word at West Point. Bud Sprague, of Dallas, a big built young man with large features vaguely like those of Jess Wil- lard, stood at attention in the office of Lieut. Col. C. B. Hodges, commandant of cadets. Mr. Sprague— cadets are called mister at West Point—had taken a draught of the Army’s cure-all, Epsom salts, at sick report that morning, and was not standing the day's formations. He stood with his broad back flattened against the wall and the ‘ umbs of his hands, which could palm a German pancake as you might palm a dime, were aligned with the black tape running down his gray slacks. “Yes, Sir,” Says Mr. Sprague. “Mr, Sprague,” the colonel asked, “can you make room for a visitor in your quarters?” “Yes, sir,” said Mr. Sprague. If the colonel had asked, “Mr. Sprague, can you make a tree?” he would have said, “Yes, sir.” “We have three in our room,” Mr. Sprague said. “but I'll send Mr. Roth to sleep in another room.” As we crossed the area from the headq: arters bullding to Mr. Sprague’s room on the ground floor of the old barracks, a cadet rau at a light lope across the quadrangle until he came even with another cadet. “Mister,” the second one said quite severely, “when you double time, you double time. Now go back where you started from and let me see you double time.” Without a word the running cadet wheeled, tore back to the door he had left, turned again and dashed back on his way. “Plebe,” said Mr. Sprague. “Plebe year is a hard year but it’s the same for everybody and it makes the other three years seem easier.” He opened a door leading into a bare corridor with a deep porcelain sink set half way down the hall. In a small frame over the sink was a card bearing the name, “E. J. Messinger.’’ I recognized this as the name of the regular right end on the Army team this year. “Memorial fountain to Mr. Messinger in recog- nition of distinguished service on the football field?” I suggested. “That’s where we wash and shave,” said Mr. 2 gt “It’s Messinger’s turn to scrub the sink.” He swung open the first door on the left, and we entered a room with a comfortable litter of books on the tables, cigarette snipes on the floor, and clothing on the backs of the three chairs. 1! had seen tidier quarters. These possessec a home- like slovenliness. “Sit down,” Mr. Sprague invited. “Throw your things anywhere. We don’t have to stand tactical officer’s inspection for 24 hours because our com- pany made the best showing in the corps revue for the military affairs committee of Congress the other day.” There was a pair of large, black shoes on the table. Mr. Sprague pi them up. New Job for Plebe. “Well, I'll be damned; that plebe must have brought back those shoes. Wonder if they're stretched any. Got a pair of shoes a few days ago; biggest I could find on the post, and they mur- dered my feet, so I found a plebe with the big- a ee Sats One: Red him weer them a while.” : ie There was an old-fashioned fireplace Sprague’s broken nose, smashed in the Harvard early in the season. “No,” Mr. Sprague replied, earnestly, “Clark didn’t do it. I heard talk of that myself and T'll ; a’ hee ss es a” tO De dy we ae Cadets C. Hammond and C.F. Dryer are boxing with well padded gloves. But they are learning things that will serve them well in less routine encounters— when they are “dragged,” for instance. admit that I don’t think Clark was nearly the sportsman that Capt. French, of Harvard, or Capt. Biff Hoffman, of Stanford, was. He gave Cagle’s shins a terrible kicking all through that game; raked them with his cleats when the officials weren't in a position to see. But my broken nose was just fair wear and tear. I tackled Dave Guarnaccia and happened to take his knee right in my face.” “All Right” Means Everything. There was a sharp bang on the door, and it flew open. A cadet peered in, and hesitated, in- quiringly. “All right,” said Mr. Sprague, and the cadet withdrew. “That’s one of the cadet officers. They check up all the time. He probably saw I had a civilian visitor. If you answer ‘All right’ that means you give your word of honor that the visit is author- ized. Here’s the full meaning of ‘All right’ in the ee It means just about everything around He passed over a little 200k, “Bugle Notes,” open at a page headed “Honor.” It reads: “The basic principles of the hondr system are: No lying, no cheating, no half-truths. No intentional dishonesty is excusable, and under. no circumstances will it be condoned. Every one is bound to report any breach of honor which comes to his attention. Quibbling, evasive statements or technicalities in order to shield guilt or defeat the ends of jus- tice will not be tolerated. “An ‘All Right’ involves the purpose of a visit as well as the place. No cadet aay report ‘All right’ when he is going anywh for an unau- thorized purpose,” ee Paying the Lost Gamble. “But,” I asked, “doesn’t that tend to crush al! the matural mischief out of the men and reduce you people, who are supposed to be preparing for adventurous business, to the faultless plety of so many military monks?” “Hell no,” said Mr. Sprague. “You can always take a chance on being caught. There are no sentries in the corridors during study hour at night. You can slip out of your room to visit some one else, but if the tactical officer comes along inspecting or a cadet officer happens to be in the hall and calls ‘All right?’ even if he’s three floors away, you have to say ‘no.’ It’s just an- other way of paying off a lost gamble.” It seems, though, that the boys are human oe to err even in matters of honor now and It is a point of honor, for instance, that no cadet shall take a drink at any time. But during the Army-Yale game at New Haven last season one of the yearlings, or third classmen, fell in with some drinking civilians under the grandstand. Unaccustomed to drinking at all, he got drunk and when the time came for the corps to march out of the bow! two friends of his company took him by the elbows and marched him into the the sides while the man behind kept kicking his formation and off the field, supporting him from heels to make him step out. The Limit Penalty. Whether the other cadets did this merely to s the corps a public scandal or intended to withhold the facts from the officers was a ques- tion that never arose, The cadet’s condition was 4 4 wp 1X too obvious to be concealed on the trip back to the academy. Within two weeks he had been dismissed. All that his counsel could say in exten- uation at the trial w*s that none of the football reporters at the rim of the bowl had seen or seen fit to men- tion the incident, from which he argued that the boy had done no damage to the reputation of the corps, ta the fall of 1927 a first-class man showed up after a football game.with a slight edge on. As I understand it, he was only mildly stimulated. Nevertheless he was tried and he, too, would have been dismissed except that his entire class got together and signed an unconditional pledge, which was sent to the commandant with a delicate inti- mation that this was offered, not in bargaining spirit, but merely in the hope that their classmate of three years would be given some penalty short of the limit. The court made a great concession. Every min- ute of the man’s recreation time for the remainder of the year was spent in a brisk solo parade across the area, the punishment ground where the cus- tomary sentence calls for only 50 minutes of walk- ing two days a week. The lenity seems to have been well advised, for this cadet is now a second lieutenant command- ing troops. Only a few weeks ago, on the day of the Stan- ford-Army game at the Yankee Stadiym in New York, a breath inspection was held, unKnown to most of the cadets, to determine whether any of the young men should be place@ under suspicion of drinking. I was told that a suspected man would be put under surveillance on the return to the academy, then taken t» the hospital, where his stomach would be pumped. So honor some- times operates with the assistance of coercion and science. Back to Washington’s Day. They were not always thus at West Point, for historical writings stress the time when George Washington ordered a fete, celebrating the birth of the Dauphin of France, at which the garrison officers and their ladies drank a series of thirteen toasts, and the 10,000 troops received an extra ration of rum, Moreover, the one character in all the history of the Militray Academy, whose per- sonality and works are most lovingly remembered, was Benny Havens, who ran a grog shop on the reservation. Edgar Allan Poe, in his brief and wretched career as a cad wrote of Mr. Havens that he was the sole congenial soul in the entire God-forsaken place, but it was another poet, a medical le iten- ant of the Eighth Infantry, named O’Brien, who wrote the lyric of the West Point anthem, “Benny Havens, O,” which is sung by the old brass hats of the Army at reunions of their classes. Dr. O’Brien had gone to the Point to visit an old friend, Riley A. Arnold, a first classman, and their evenings were passed at eBnny Havens’. Under the spell of Mr. Havens’ personality, his hospitality and miscellaneous influences whose mention might cause heartache, the medical officer set his lyric to “The Wearin’ of the Green,” and others were improvised by other wistful souls as time went by until there were 37. All these are now embalmed in the pages of Farley’s “West Point in the Sixties,” which cadets today may borrow from the post library for a comparison of their times with a time they will never know. Spiked His Cider Flip. Benny Havens was ejected from the post in 1832 for spiking his cider flip a little too strongly, but he set up his rum jugs in a groggery outside the reservation and was host to returning members of the old classes, if not to the contemporary cadets until he was buried in Highland Union Cemetery, overlooking the Hudson River, in 1897. “Bugle Notes” relates that steamers bearing troops home from the Civil War, in passing West Point, gave off roaring blasts of “Benny Havens, O” as the veterans lined the rails. Yet they insist that life was harder at the Point in the very old days, relating that athletics were unknown in any of the now familiar competitive forms, and that for a long time the cadets were his inn of nights had a compensating privilege, but perhaps that’s merely the expression of a depraved taste. second Long Sentence, On the topic of honor and punishment, men- tion was made of a young man of the present plebe class, a football player with a reputation of having beaten the Stanford team when he was in college, who is now serving a second sentence of six months walking the area. He first entered the academy in the summer of 1927 and -quickly accumulated a sentence of six months for some lawlessness and was on the point of flunking out in his studies when he fell sick and went on leave with permission to start over in the plebe class which entered in the summer of 1928. But when he returned he still had a butt of the old sentence to serve. He was still pacing it off, 50 minutes a day on Wednesdays and Saturdays while the worthy young men were having their innocent pleasures, when the date for the Stanford-Army game of 1928 came around. Just before this date he qualified for a bed in the hospital and on the day of the game some California friends drove up in a car and lured him off. Well, he drove down to New York, saw Stanford lick the Army, and drove back well ahead of the returning corps, but, of course, was caught and got another slug of six months on the area. | West Point likes to win football games, and it would be nice to have this cadet available for the team during his remaining three years at the academy, assuming that he can tag along some- how for three years more. But his record to date suggests a serious doubt that he ever will be certified to the head coach as fit and eligible for the team, even for practice. A man must rise superior to a complex lot of don'ts and have-to’s, scholastic and military, to get on the field at all. Ninety-five Miles in Month, Found deficient in any item of study or charged with a certain quota of demerits for slack or wil- fully bad conduct in the weekly posting of the marks, a cadet leaves the squad and he doesn’t return until the audit of the grades shows him to be out of the red in all matters. There is a distant chance that an overmischievous plebe, hav- ing survived the shake-down year, will take a strong of himself and keep eligible. Un- promising plebes have been known to do such. Two other cadets had come into the room, wives of Mr. “ prague, as the cadets’ quaint con- versational usage has it, Mr. Graul, of Chicago, and Mr. Roth. “A man gets to doing curious things in his mind when he’s on the area,” said Mr. Graul. “They used to pack rifles, but now they walk empty handed. There are no interruptions except to salute officers, and a man falls to counting his steps and calculating the mileage of his sen- tence. I think it has been figured that a month on the area means 95 miles.” Darkness was coming on. Mr. Roth was directed to find another room, and 1 drew his bed. “The wife who sleeps in that bed has to sweep out in the morning,” Mr. Sprague remarked. I glanced at the three cots. There was one double-deck affair, consisting of two single iron bedsteads welded together, one of them upside down. All mattresses were doubled up at the head, and the blankets, sheets, quilts and pillows piled in some regulation manner on the mattresses. Can Take a Chance. “We turn back the bedding before morning inspection and can’t turn it cown again before 9 at night,” Mr. Sprague explained. “Of course, if you're tired you can take a chance, but if the tactical officer happens along you're out of luck. You get so many demerits, and it takes only so many to get you kicked out. They count up. The first one is just as important as the last one. There’s one first classman now with only four de- pag to go; less than one a month until gradu- “One night during football season, when my nose was broken and I was wearing that heavy mask, I came in here so dog tired and sick I just didn’t have the gumption to get permission to go to the hospital. Eight-thirty came and no in- spection, so I thought I’d take a chance and turn in. I _ turned down the mattress and just then Bang!’ on the door and in walked the tac. I don’t know how many demerits he gave me for that. They haven’t posted them yet.” Mr. Sprague, football captain, you mind, got an- other batch of demerits a while a for weenie no suspenders at mess. He was fixing, as he said, to go on one of the six week-end leaves allowed to first classmen and hai buttoned his suspenders to the trousers of his civilian dinner suit. So he just put on a belt, and when he went to the mess hall his trousers sagged. “All Right” Again. Out in the area mess call sounded and there came a rumble and a thunder on the stairs as the plebes doubled from their rooms to their platoons for the march to the mess hall. The upper class- men were more leisurely, with a leeway of two minutes. 600n the columns were mov away, turning Aldershot corners. _ r Mr. Sprague did not fall in, excused on two counts, sick report and official visit. We walked across the area together after the drum- ming feet of the columns and past a cadet sentry. ee a ‘ ; ee ~ > ch gees RoR > Semone tet ne Re a en i a iS » Pio, f Sees eee ee TT Fe ll 66 CR i a) tee 686) || | ee) ee ll (dg SRS VO , ate Be. if e Formation for lunch!

Real estate agents who formerly had been welcome callers, were shooed away and “for sale” signs came down over night. Soon the metallic mineral finding apparatus was brought into play. Naturally enough as the bearer of the “treasure locater” crossed the spot where the coins were found the indicator pointed downward and the conservative excitement turned into an “oil boom” enthusiasm. Finally the “diggers” were called into the area. Picks, shovels and less antiquated implements dug; dug and then dug some more. Everything was in readiness for the care. and distribution of the “treasure” which was expected to-be found at a considerable depth, as much of the space on which the search was made had long since. been “filled in” to make land higher for building purposes. : The excavation work was carried on with a vim that can be acquired only by treasure hunters. “Klank, klank!” resounded the shovels of the weary The Cocos treasure, much written about, hed its real or mythical birth in South American when @ renegate English sailboat and its crew Were reported to have offered asylum to Chilean refugees and then robbed them of. worldly goods.

CHAPTER 7. HORTLY after our return from Peary’s vic- torious dash to the pole, Lord Northcliffe asked me to come to England and be his couldn’t accept because Peary had al- leave for a trip abroad and I had prom- him.

I told Lord Northcliffe I was for his invitation but that I I belonged with my leader, I didn’t add what d, that I wanted people to see that my best friend, though the press to split us. on April 22. It was a nice feeling to ger, I could sit around all I wanted to and not have any responsibility as to whether the helmsman was on his course. He could steer in circles for all I cared. But they didn’t serve cod brewis (boiled cod with biscuit soaked over night and hot pork fat poured over it) very often. “The more rain, the more rest,” is an old New- foundland proverb. However, this was one time when it didn’t rain and yet I had rest enough to last me several years—that is, until I got to Eu- rope. Then I was busy enough. first thing we did we went up to London. Edward VII had died that week. So a good of the special festivities for Peary were of. But at that we had a great time. the Royal Albert Memorial Hall Peary re- the gold medal of the Royal Geograpical Society. President Darwin (son of the great Darwin) of the society, handed it to him. Ishad to come next as they were kind enough to give me the silver medal of the Royal Geographi- cal Society, a duplicate of Peary’s. Peary’s medal wes a special one designed to commemorate the discovery of the Pole. Mine was struck off from the same mould. It was designed by Lady Scott, wife of Capt. Scott, who died on his way back from the South pole. Owing to the fact that the English court was in mourning and the Pearys had pressing en- agg they crossed the Channel and went through Europe. I lingered in London. I wanted to see the funeral of a king. A kind Eng- lishman secured a fine seat for me in the window of the clubs. I sat up there on a high- thwart and saw the great procession pass. There were Roosevelt and the Kaiser and King Al- of Spain; hundreds of fine officers and of fine troops. But I think the thing that impressed me most was a little brown dog that trotted along under the hearse. He had been a special pet of the king; and in all that long pro- cession he was the only living creature that seemed to be thinking about the dead King more than about the people who were looking at him. ’ The funeral depressed me. I packed up and @foseed over to Paris. To my surprise and disap- pointment the atmosphere of mourning seemed to be deeper there than in London. But I was well taken care of. A friend had written to a a beautiful girl, who took care of me while She urch of the Madelon, the art at Versailles. I even went up , for a look at high life. But 1 been a wet blanket us I wasn’t a drink- HiW Su eS aes: the most exquisite form human entertainment could take. We ate in a special dining hall in the Quirinal. It was a room of high windows and fine paintings. Heavy hangings and tapestries blanketed the doors and edged the windows. Just outside and below us was the Roman Forum. Dimly in the distance I could hear the hum of the great city. There were twenty-elght guests. I have heard people called the flower of their profession, the flower of diplomacy, and so on. But if any col- lection I ever heard of was the flower of their outfit, these were the orchids. Of course there was the king at the head of the table. On both sides of him were arranged the grandest diplomats, the brainiest scientists, and the highest royalty of the land. Fine ladies alternated with the gen- tlemen. At each place was cut glass and glisten- ing silver. Golden platters held our food. Over the center was suspended one of the most gor- geous chandeliers I have ever seen. It sparkled in the sunshine. Behind each place stood a liv- eried servant. Indeed, though the diplomats and scientists were impressive the liveried servants were even more so. They were big fine healthy men and each had a shiny uniform on. They were efficient too. I have seen the Life Guards changed by the Tower of London. I have seen the quick and silent efficiency of the shift of watches on an ocean liner. But never have I seen any better drilled men or speedier service than I saw right there in the king’s dining room. I was so hypnotized by the way those fellows got food on without a sound and whisked it off without a sign that I could hardly eat. Next to me sat a fine lady, the wife of the Eng- lish Ambassador, I think. She was impressive as a ship with stunsails out, but she was human. She was just as jolly and intelligent and entertaining to me as if I'd belonged to royalty instead of to the sea. She asked me many questions, but every time I gave her some information she had some equally interesting facts to shoot back at me, “Do Eskimos marry for love?” she asked. “No; the man marries to get a seamstress, the woman to get meat.” She nodded, “So do we. Only the sewing is social and the meat more often finery. Did you ever get used to the hard life, captain?” BEL ayn we Newfoundlanders can get used to any- thing.” She glanced around the table, darted a look at one man in particular, and sighed. “So can the rest of us, I suppose, ” she said in a low voice. For a moment I thought I had put my foot in it and tried so hard to think what I had said that might have been worng that I choked on a mouthful of fish. “Sign of a guilty conscience,” she said, as 1 sputtered. “I didn’t know seafaring men had consciences. Have they?” “Sure,” I said, my face the color of a red-leaded capstan, “Else we’d found the North Pole years ago.” She got my point all right, and laughed. It like that sort of man. It shows that in a world full of hurrying, restless people, there are some quiet minds sitting back and reflecting on what are the best things to do for the progress of man- kind. That was how the King of Italy struck me. Somehow I never thought of a king being other than like the over-dressed dummies in a nursery book. The Duke d’Abrugzi was the exact opposite. He was a tall, slender, direct sort of man. He had the bearing and accent of an English gentleman, with the same ruddy features. I have no doubt he was a student, too, for his questions and quick grasp of what I said showed his great knowledge, but he did not impress Me as an academic man. He was in the prime of his life, a vigorous naval officer far more interested at that time in leading other men to do big things than in settling back in a library to work out some theory He was a sailor, too; had a sailor’s air about him in the way he stood, his feet wide and his body tilted a little forward. He looked very much the athlete his reputation made him out to be. Naturally, he was interested in Peary and me, for he had led his Italian expedition which based on Spitzbergen and his men had broken the world’s record to- ward the Pole only a few years before. His book was a fine piece of work. I told him this. “Thank you, Capt. Bartlett,” he said. “Do you write much?” meaning, of course, to inquire about my literary work. “I write my mother pretty often,” I said. Instantly he laid his hand on my shoulder and exclaimed, “That's fine!” I certainly like him. I asked him if he were going North again.. He shook his head. “No. I guess I’m getting too old,” he said. . “But you are only 43, sir,” I burst out, forget- ting for the moment he was a duke. He shook his head and smiled in such a friendly way that I went right on. “I think it is wonderful that you have done the fine work up there you did, sir. Now, down in Newfoundland we are born and brought up on the ice and on board ship. Even then it’s a hard drag to go through with Arctic work. Only the best of us can stand it. But here you are—" I felt I was getting in deep water. I think I blushed a little in my embar- rassment. But he nodded a little pensively. “I understand, captain,” he said, “and I want to thank you for a fine compliment.” , The duke’s war record shows that I was right. He still had a lot of stuff in him, even if he was 438. Shortly after that wonderful day I left for home. P had a lot of ground to cover and I didn’t feel up to the strain of any more royalty. Also my funds were getting iow. Besides, I had a deep scheme preying on my mind. I had to get home and go to work on it. * = a . You don’t dare anchor a ship with big way on.

The first man I met in town was James Con- nolly, the writer and-war correspondent “Hello, Bob!” he shouted at me across the hotel lobby “What in the devil are you doing up im these shallows, anyway?” “Just a little voyage *of discovery,” t told him, truthfully enough. He came Over and took My arm and dragged me into the dining room. During breakfast he pumped me, but I didn’t spill my big plan. When he told me how he was going out with the Atlantic fleet for maneuvers off Cape Cod, I cautiously in- quired about the habits of some of the million- aires. He said they went out to take the alr every day. This helped, as I soon found out. The next thing 1 did was to telephone my friend Charlie Leavy, ever in Jamestown. I told him I was up for a day or two and asked if Jt was all right to drop in “Sure, come right along. What's up?” But I wouldn’t let on. My game was too valu- able to risk a leaky telephone wire.

I even can remember the perfume she used—not too much and not too little. It was another part of the hypnotizing I was going tnrough. Altogether, between the king and the efficient service and that fine lady, I have a memory that 1 treasure almost above all other memories this day I had a chance to know the king Duke d’Abruzzi.

Bartlett, who outlines in this article the circumstances surrounding his first conference with “Commodore” James Gordon Bennett, publisher, art patron, sportsman, philanthropist and financier. In 1906 Peary was very optimistic. We had the ship on the edge of the Polar Sea, where we wanted her, and we had plenty of Eskimos, dogs and food. One day on the Roosevelt, in the winter of 1905, Peary had said to me, “Capt. Bob, if we make a go of it this spring we'll tackle the Soutk Pole.” In 1909 the subject came up again. Peary at last had won. The plan dear to his heart, of placing the American flag at both ends of the axis of the earth, seemed now a possibility. It was my big chance. I never thought that Peary wanted to go himself. He was willing to contribute his time and his energy without limit to organization. Certainly his genius for Arctic travel would always be at our disposal, but he had in his heart a desire to see the rest of us succeed as he had succeeded and prodably without the tribulations he had gone through I would go in command. For the first time in my life I felt I was going to do something big and run the show myself. Such is the “pride that goeth before a fall.” I held my dream until the fall of 1909, but the minute the controversy broke Peary realized that the storm of abuse heaped on him ana his men would prevent our going ahead at once with Ant- arctic plans. It was a bitter disappointment, but there was no way out. It bears on the scheme that Peary had planned to start off on his lecture tour the minute he got back from the Pole. This tour would raise funds and would give him a chance co spread the gospel of American Antarctic success on a par with what had been done in the Arctic. “I know Gen. Hubbard and the rest o, them will want to come in,” he said, enthusiastically, “after we have finally cleaned things up in the North.” It was one of the unwritten tragedics in Peary’s life that he didn’t lecture after all. On the advice of ill-informed men, he shifted his lecturing from the fine old Pond management connections to an- other bureau, which soon went to pieces His first taste of dismal] failure came when he started off to Providence for an opening lecture and got there only to find that the hall was dark. The bureau had forgotten to make arrangements! The lecture tour never came off. The fortune that should have been awaiting the discoverer of the pole never ma- terialized. As a result the financial and moral aid the would have backed up my Antarctic expedition went into stemming the tide of prejudice against Peary. The rest is largely history, and it forms an anti- climax to my yarn. Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911. Scott succeeded and died There is not much else to tell. When we got news that Amundsen had succeeded the wind was all taken out of my sails. When we heard of the Scott tragedy we knew the public would be op- posed to any more Antarctic work for the time being. The next scheme I had for leading My own ex- pedition was to drift across the unexplored area of the North Polar Basin. As I'had to make a living, I couldn't dally around, but with the exploring bee in my bonnet I couldn't go back to sea routine and be happy. After my return from Europe I went over to see Herbert Bridgman in his office in the Brooklyn Standard Union, I remember it was August be- cause of the heat. I melted down three collars between dawn and dusk. I don’t ordinarily shift collars so often, but that day I wanted to be at my best. I had a big job at hand. I came right out about it to Mr. Bridgman. “IT want to drift across the Polar Sea.” 1 told him. “You mean the way the Fram did?” he asked, taking my measure with his little gray eyes. “Yes, sir; I believe if we enter the ice farthur eastward we Shall be able to define the Polar Basin. The Jeannette Was too far west. She was smashed by the ice and many of her men were lost, if you remember.” “I remember all right,” he said, reflectively. He looked up suddenly. “Well, what are you going to do about it?” “I have already done a lot, sir,” I tola him. “I have got about $90,000 pledged toward my ex- pedition.” “How much do you want?” “Three hundred thousand, sir!” He whistled a regular bos'n's pipe of surprise “That's a good deal. What do you plan next?” I told him that is was hanging in the bight. 1 aad got so far and couldn't seem to get any further. Just then one of his staff broke in and said, “By the way, Mr. Bridgman, did you know James Gor- don Bennett was back on this side?” Like a flash 1 saw clear water ahead. |] said to myself, ‘““There’s my man!” Mr. Bridgman hove around in hig swivel chair and with a sly look on his face, said, “I'll give you $5.00, Capt. Bartlett, if vou get to see Mr. Bennett.” I won't admit it was the bribe, or even the dare. but I knew right then and there I was going to get to that notorious millionaire or break my neck in the attempt. With the impulsiveness that has been my curse as well as my virtue, I went right back to New York and got-a stateroom on the Fall River boat bound for Newport. To be on the safe that my best bet was to get down into Commo- dore Bennett’s sumptuous place on Bellevue avenue and see him in his own home. Luckily, I happened to look down at the duds ! had on. At once I saw I was in no shape to call on a millionaire. I had to get some gear that would fit the scenery around ails marbie palace. So down I went to the smartest store in Newport. Luckily just before leaving New York I had cashed a check for $100. Now I went in and bought a whole rig, consisting of a ‘ine straw hat with a wide brim, a Palm Beach suit and shoes the color of the Albany grease you use in a sounding lead. I got a shirt with purple stripes in it, and a sky- blue tie to match the blue hatband I hud on the straw hat. I didn’t forget to get some light blue socks. I want to say that once I got into the thing I went through it in fine -«tyle. 1 ever bought some silk underwear! My next move was to go to the hovel and get dressed up in my new duds. Then I went down into the lobby, where they ‘iad a full length mirror, and admired myself. Next I drifted out and began to look around for a sea-going hack. 1 haven't much of an eye for horses, but I think I picked a good one. I spoke to the driver. who turned out to be an Irish- man named MacGinty. As he thought 1 was one, too, from my Newfoundland brogue 1 suppose. he was very friendly. Anyway. my costume must have made an impression on him. “I'm just out for a look at the town,” I told him. “Nobody knows it better than me.” “Shove off,” I said, and hopped in. Presently we were going down Bellevue ave- nue, the street where all the swells live. “Tell me about them,” 1 commanded my driver. He soon loosened up. The old nag drifted slowly, while he pointed here and there with his whip. He told me how many millions each man was worth and how many wives he had had; how many servants, and what his yacht cost, and a whole lot morc. I guess there wasn’t anybody that ever knew as much about Newport as that driver. Pretty soon we got down to where Jim Con- nolly had told me Mr. Bennett lived. I felt my- self getting hot and cold with excitement. If I could only get Commodore Bennett interested my whole project for a Polar drift would go through. He could give me §100,000 and never miss it. “And who lives there?” I sung out as we came abeam of the place “Oh. that’s where Commodore Bennett lives.” I asked for details. He told me how the old gentleman was eccentric, Dut still very active, despite his 74 years, He described him as a slen-_ der but erect old man who looked a good deal like a retired general. “You know, sir. the commodore used to be a live chap about here: and he was a good sport. When he would go on a bender and break up @ wagon or damage a man or hurt a horse, he ‘ move, 1 thought. Then fate moved for me. The door opened. Out came a slender figure, which I recognized as that of Commodore Ben- nett. He had two little woolly dogs—Pomeranians. I think they were. One was under his arm aad one he was leading by a string. I went up to him and doffed my new straw hat. “Good morning, cemmodore,” said I. He gave me a hard look. “Who are you?” “I am Robert Bartlett, and I came to see you, ope “What about?” he snapped. “If you will let me sit down and talk to you a few minutes I'll tell you.” I think he knew enough about men to realize that I wasn’t a journalist or a financial expert. After a few minutes’ hesitation he shrugged. his shoulders ana said: “All right. Come in.” He turned around and led the way. My heart was pounding against my ribs. — t iast I had won; at least, so far as getting into the presence of the: = big man. j In his wake I went out to a piazza. There was a table there. | was ready f : the test.

I went on: “You put the money into the Jeannette expedi- tion, sir. That was a great expedition, even though many lives were lost.” The commodore looked more interested. 1 don't think many people know to this day how much money he contributed to the widows and orphans of the ill-fated Jeannette. I went on at a gre t ate. For so many days my ideas had been boiling up in me that they came spouting out aow that | had my chance. “Good, good!’ exclaimed the - -mmodore, becom- ing more interested as I went on. I began to “heel to the breeze.” z f+ is pooh “A biggest things left to do in al retic,” said I. “It is the last great i project in the world today.” = Aigitees I won’t repeat it all here.

By the bye if you have any accounts to settle I'll give you a check right now so that you can start clear ... give a pony his head and he'll play the game .. . Au revoir!” I went the following week and reported to the commodore at his home on the Champs Elysees. Again he was very cordial. “Now I don’t want to hold you to a routine .. . kills an artist, routine .. . but get your work up in your own way .. . have it at the printers on time and then, amuse yourself as you damn please.” My duties were to draw a weekly cartoon for the Sunday issue, and such other illustrations as the week's social and sporting events required. This work was very agreeable. It took me to Long- champs and Auteuil for the races, it sent me to Spain for pictures of the Easter ceremonies at Seville, and it necessitated my crossing the chan- nel to “do” the Cowes Regatta. Mr. Bennett took it for granted that’ my drawings would be well done, for he never directed me about my methods, but on the contrary was often complimentary of my efforts. I received a telegram from him once from his villa at Beaulieu, “Go ahead. Easter number very fine. J. G. B.” But I forget. He sent me another wire once which ran, “Your British guardsman in last draw- ing too like Yale football man. Look to your racial types.” On one occasion I went with the commodore and his guests to his huntmg lodge at Versailles, where there was held a pheasant shoot, or battue. This place had been the prop- erty of Mme. de Maintenon, and was full of me- mentos of the “Great King Louis.” I motored, dined and lunched with him on fre- quent occasions, and thus my time passed in and The “Commoa- open the “Neptune and Thetis.” dore” and Princess C hall. about Paris until July, when tout le monde leaves the capjtal for the country, Biarritz and its sister resorts, and there was not much for me to do in the social way or in the chronicling of society's events. Whereupon I was again summoned to the Bennett sanctum and Mr. B. asked me “where I would like to go for a little holiday.” As I had 7 , ’ Tie gia ie Alacdake gbleibealls Shida sad ee i) Wh ah i ae eb Ue : habe tis ob = ee : > aaer- —s Seno a oF 4 FE * sig = * Sa oe % ate j SS hey Re saete . ht ' ; Ms Mast Pann ) pert Mee hil, A | t ; ‘ ; v ; : ; sti been having, what to me was a continous holiday since leaving new York, I hesitated a moment, when he said. “Would you like to go to see the Passion Play? . running now at Oberam- mergau?

But the night before my projected de- parture came a telegram from Lisbon “Should you prefer to spend holiday on yacht trip to Trieste join me on Lysistrata at once. J. G. B,” There was I, all prepared for Switzerland “dressed up, drunk and highly perfumed,” sud- denly ordered to sea! for I knew that this invita- tion to the Mediterranean Was a royal “command,” no more to be evaded than could be a summons from Windsor “to dine and sleep,” by a British subject. I called up Calvert and told him he would have to get another traveling companion for the Swiss trip, dumped my clothes “for Alpine wear” on the floor, threw into my trunk what few things I had which were appropriate for the well-dressed yachtsman and just caught the last train from the Quai d‘Orsay for Madrid and points South. Too late to get a berth, I was obliged to stuff into a day coach, and slept on the floor between two bull fighters who were on their way to take part in a Corrida at Seville. A night of snores and garlic. On arriving in the city of the earthquake, a French sailor from the yacht was waiting, who took my steamer trunk over one powerful shoulder and led the way to the Lisbon yacht club landing, where a long, sharp cedar launch, steam up (it was before motor launches) rolled and roared expectantly through its slanted brass funnel. Presently toward us came “The Commodore,” and four other gentlemen, in sea-going togs. The Commodore, very much the naval officer in smart- ness and looks, and his French guests, tres, tres comme il faut, in the Gallic regalia which was required pour le sport. We all bowed and embarked. The launch leapt into the white caps and Mr, B. with his right hand on the tiller, with his left waved me in introduction to “the Duc de Grammont, the Marquis de Ricci, the Baron Gour- gaud and le Col. Chabot,” all of them men of middle age and of that poise of manner which is gO fine in the high bred Frenchman. What a delightful company they were! Men of famous names, their unobtrusive reminiscences of all the interesting folks of the late century was a treat to me, a youngster who had only read about these people. I have had my trips before and since and met agreeable and famous people, but never any like unto these. , To begin with our host, Mr. Bennett. thing on board the Lysistrata was prince.” With a crew of a hundred men, three jaunches, two Jersey cows to provide butter and cream, and with every other luxury and nautical “gadget” for convenience and. luxury, his hos- pitality was regal. But there was nothing fussy in the yacht’s furniture. His ship was run along naval lines, no doubt the result of his old-time occupation of lieutenant in our Navy during the Civil War. He had a fund of good stories about and rang- ing from Sitting Bull to the Empress Eugenie, Ben Butler to Abdul Aziz, Henry Ward Beecher to “the prisoner of the Vatican,” Pius IX. And as he saw how absorbed I was in historical and contemporary records he unbent and humored my interest in his personal recollections of the great ones of his day. But when it was a ques- tion of the working or the policy of his great journal, one got nothing out of him ‘but silence, and damn little of that.” I never found out his political biases, if he had any. I asked him once what he thought about Mr. Roosevelt, and got a coid look and the dry remark, “Don’t know him. I make it a rule never to meet Presidents.” Noth- ing was printed in his paper that he was not aware of—usually before it went to press. Early in the morning he had his breakfast on deck, and a resume of the news and editorials that were to appear in the Herald the following morn- ing would be handed to him for approval, dele- tion or direction. I remember his secretary say- ing to him, “Here is an article by (mentioning a Every- done “en. peat anette he eae aE IE SRR ABA CER RS ES ~~} “Commodore” James Gordon Bennett in his early morning “office” aboard his yacht Lysistrata, at Sorrento in July, 1904. famous correspondent)—what department shall 1 send it to.” Bennett, without looking at it even and without a remark, waved with his foot to the wastepaper basket beside him. He had asked me to join him at these early breakfasts and I would come up on deck at 5 a. m. and find him gorgeous in silk pajamas, two secretaries sorting his telegrams and two little dogs, a black and tan and a Pekingese, sitting near his cane chair. After he had glanced over this mass of journalistic de- tull, and had smoked some very large cigarettes. he would come to the rail and point out the picturesque shore to me, or, should we be at anchor in some little harbor near a village, the big launch would roar around to the gangway and the commodore, still in his pajamas, with no hat and smoking a large cigar, would descend and take the tiller. Off we would shoot to the shore and spend a half hour inspecting the bril- liant-hued fish and fruit of the market place, the while a sallor dragged the blase little dogs on a constitutional. The people of these little villages knew Mr. Bennett and liked him for his interest in them and his many.donations to their -Taunicipal needs and Our first and we had visited and we “did” the Bay of Naples by. the shore by carri most thoroughly. But after a day or two, to Vesuvius, the Blue Grotto and Capri, the commodore remarked to us, “We are all English visitors and thé native gentry..

Often she was accompanied by the Prince of Wales who dearly loved her companionship. But when his official engagements precluded him from “chaperoning” his sister, she would be escorted by his younger brother, the now Duke of Glou- cester. With the freedom which even royalty experi- enced as an aftermath of the war Princess Mary drove and danced, entertained her personal friends in her pink-and-white boudoir in Buckingham Palace, where, at her small and intimate tea par- ties, she was sometimes joined by her brothers and their 1 friends. By this time Princess Mary was, of course, an hostess and though sh¢ naturally had her own circle of friends, she was always anxious to introduce them to their majesties, a practice which went back to her childhood. It was in 1921, too, that Princess Mary saw her first Grand National. After the race was over she insisted on going into the ring, accompanied by the late Lady Victoria Bullock, Lord Derby's daughter, to have a closer view of the horses. Lord Lascelles Royal Guest.

Lord Lascelles is seen above in his Guards uniform, wearing on his breast the insignia of the Order of the Garter. With him is his wife, Princess Mary. The main reason for the prince’s bad luck in the hunting fleld is due to two causes. Firstly, he seldom is able to ride the same horse for any lengthy period and strange mounts are naturally conducive to mishap. Also, wherever he goes he is followed by cheering crowds and clicking cameras, While he is used to this his horses are not and, being temperamental thoroughbreds, they often bungie a jump in their nervousness and throw their royal rider.

King of Persia and much else besides, decided to conquer Greece, he was forced to face the problem of crossing the Hellespont. But what was such a problem to a monarch such as he? Did he not have tens of thousands of workmen at his beck and call? Boats were built and placed side by side Planks were. laid across, and the famous Bridge of Boats became a real- ity. An army which the ancient records tell us was made up of 1,700,000 men began to cross this curious bridge. The day ended and the night came, but _hardly a YFreal start had been made in gaining the shore of Europe. The marching of men and horses, the carting of baggage. continued through the night, and through the next day and the next. Here and there laggard = soldiers were lashed with whips —that they might not forget the speed which was desired. After seven days and nights the crossing was wn completed. Xerxes the Mignty nad made a big step toward reaching Greece, where he meant to punish the cities which dared to hold out against his will. Yet he was open of mind, ready to for- give those who would come to him. provided they would kneel and promise tribute. As the vast army passed on inte Thessaly many a messenger came to bring earth and water. sym- bols of submission. The news of his coming had spread ahead of him. and city after city decided that it was better to give up im the face of such odds. Why let their homes be destroyed? Would it not be folly to try to oppose such an‘enemy as this? Better far to g:ve in, to promise tribute, than to lose all they owned! Xerxes kept track of the cities which consented to hold him as their lord. “Why do 1 not hear from Athens and Sparta?” he wondered. “Surely they can not expect to fight me with their puny forces!” Meanwhile the men of Greece were in wild de- bate. Should they or should they not submit to Persia? Thebes. one of the most powerful of Greek cities, not only gave up. but also proaiised to add soldiers to the army of Xerxes. Sparta and Athens, on the other hand, décided to fight to the bitter end. Messengers were sent to Crete, to Syracuse, even to far Sicily, to carry the words: “Give us help in the face of this danger to Greek freedom!” The replies were slow in coming, and when they did arrive they bore no hope of prompt assistance. The Spartans and Athenians must stand by then- selves against the foe. or else not stand at all. As Xerxes came close to the Greek border he was told: “There is ahead of us a narrow place, the Pass of Thermopylae. On the right side are great cliffs, on the left is the sea. At one point this pass is barely 60 paces across.” “And how many of our bold foes are on the other side of that narrow place?” asked Xerxes. “There are 4,000 Spartans.” “Indeed!” exclaimed the monarch. “We could cut them to pieces without trouble, but we might as well save their stupid Jives. Tell their leader that Xerxes will make him vice ruler of all Greece if he will at once submit to the power of Persia.” To Leonidas, leader of the Spartans, the ms- sage was carried; but it was spurned. Xerxes’ anger now frose, and he sent a curt message to Leonidas, with the order, “Give up your arms!” To this the Spartan replied: “Come and ge‘ them!” In spite of his anger. Xerxes admired the brav- ery of the little band beyond the pass. “Send out our Medes,” he ordered, “and tell them to bring these Spartans to me, ative." ’ Into the thick of the fray sprang Leonidas, knowing that he & was throwing his life into the cause ot Greek treedom. SS [t was an easy order to give, but a hard one te fulfill. The Medes went forward, but they came back several times as fast. ’ “Send out my Immortal Band,” was the next order Xerxes gave. Ten thousand picked soldiers o: Persia then pushed torward. with spears and arrows, ready. for the slaughter. Those of them whom the Spartans did not kill came flying back. The Persian king was amazed to see his “Ime mortals” routed by the smaller force of Spartans, but at this point he received news of a secret path to the top of the cliffs beside the pass, There he sent a force of so'diers during the night. In the morning the Greeks i-irned of what had happened. “There ts no hope now,’ Leonidas decided, “te prevent them froin pushing through; but we can hold them back ior a while. With 300 of my men I shail stay here, while the rest fall back to fight another day.” The brave 300 stayed to cover the retreat of their comrades. The Persians advanced and were met by the banc of Spartans who were cheéring and shouting as though they were on a holiday. Into the thick of the fray sprang Leonidas, but ere long he fell beneath enemy spears. Around his body the Spartans gathered trying to keep it from the hands of the enemy. The struggle was hopeless. When Persians died they were replaced: but when a Spartan fel) there was no one to fight in his stead. At last there lay in the mass of slain every Spartan except one. The single survivor reached Sparta, and gave the tidings of how 300 Greeks had stood against the hosts of Xerxes. The Battle of Thermopylae passed into the annals of the nation, and fathers were proud to tell their sons of men who had been willing to die in order to save their retreating comrades. - Xerxes entered Greece, and in spite of the bold efforts of both the Athenians and the Spartans managed to subdue the country Leaving 300,000 Persians to keep order. the monarch withdrew, feeling that he had taught a lesson long to be remembered. The Greeks did not foract. but the following year they turned the laiean’ the other way around, At the Battle of Platea 8,000 Athenians and 5,000. Spartans, with the help of about 60,000 allies, defeated the Persian army, and the remnants fled from Greece, aa . Xerxes thus learned the lesson ‘ight overwhelm the Greeks for a time. he co: not keep them down. Se ar (Copyright, 1929.

LAME SHOWER OS ty, a Rg 6 ge 12 PRT SEAS eS yee Cg, Ee Oe Sere se eri s * By ARRETTA L. WATTS. I THIS season of the year the thousands who A love the ice and snow-—the superb scenery of snow-white hills and valleys, crisp and in- Vigotating mountain air—are not mourning that summer has . They are joyously anticipat- ing winter sports—skliing, sleighing, skating, to- bogganing and the rest—a few days or a few weeks, perhaps, at Lake Placid, Montreai, Quebec, St. Moritz or some other winter resort where they May enjoy these pleasures at their best. In America, a land where it is said the value of @ university is measured by the skill of its foot- ball team and where stardom in sports is given far more praise by the public than outstanding achievements in arts and science, it is only fit- ting that winter should find us as athietic as the Other seasons. And judging from the increasing mumber of winter resorts, the rapidly growing in- terest and development in winter games of all kinds, one is convinced that it does. » > * > INTER resorts have sprung up throughout the North, the Northeast and the mountains of the great Northwest. However, the Lake Placid Club, in the Adirondacks of northern New York, which can be reached by an overnight train ride from New York City, appears to be the center of winter sports in the United States. To this resort, with its unusual winter appeal, come visitors from both continents, its only competitor in America in real winter enticemente being Montreal, center of winter festivities in Caneda. It was only a few years ago that the Lake Placid Club section of the Adirondacks was snowbound for six months of the year. Today special trains are run during the winter season to accommodate the thousands seeking this joyous winter club with its various championship winter-sport meets, to say nothing of those who come simply for the rest and change afforded by its unsurpassed winter beauty and its bracing air. Travelers constantly in search of new beauties of nature tell us there are few things more de- lightful than an Adirondack winter day—parti- cularly at twilight, when fleeting purple shadows steal across the snow-white summits of Tawahus and old Whiteface. Its appeal in summer has drawn thousands, but many say that in winter, under its mantle of snow, it is even more beautiful, To this northern club—unique in plan, origin and particularly favored by nature—come people from everywhere to enjoy skating am the large and magnificient rinks, snowshoeing and skiing in the Adirondack woods, or to watch or participate in the ski-jumping and skating championship meets, Here thousands come to watch Olympic tryouts and the many intercollegiate winter games. * Lake Placid Club started under Melvil Dewey thirty-four years ago as a sort of refuge where men and women of culture and refinement—par- ticularly educators—might enjoy a rest in beauti- ful and congenial surroundings, It has developed into America’s greatest winter-sport center, From its humble beginning of five acres of land, a made- over farmhouse and two small] rented builidings— into which, by crowding, thirty guests might be accommodated—it has grown into a 10,000-acre estate with three good-sized lakes, 390 bulidings, forty-three farms, eight clubhouses, 100 guest cottages, model creameries, certified milk plants, an accredited herd of 500 cattle, a sixty-acre poultry , an independent water supply, a theatre seating 1,200 persons and dining rooms seating 1,800. In addition there is a beautiful memorial chapel, a general store carrying a $100,- 000 stock, a 10,000-volume library, a $30,000 organ, @ Symphony orchestra, a separate dance septet, also 40 tennis courts, 5 golf courses, 160 boats and 60 saddle and sleigh horses. ’ At this vast and delightful club it is not un- common for 1,500 persons to gather for some big championship meet in winter and to be accommo- dated in its spacious and comfortable quarters with never a feeling of being crowded or of there commotion about the place. uses and cottages heated with modern log fires at every turn, the 5? as the summer. With all its expansion and development, simplic- has always been the watchword of Lake Placid Mr. Dewey has never. lost.sight of his aim. From -his many years in the work of education he is convinced of the importance of building healthy minds in héalthy bodies, and he believes that through winter sports much can be accomplishet. In the Northwood School for Boys; a newer development of the club, skating, skiing and other winter games are a part of the y winter schedule. ille one may participate at Lake Placid Club any and all winter sports, skiing is | , as it is at nearly every other resort.

There is no pair of feet that he can not fit with proper skis. It is difficult to think of a more congenial, happy gathering than the crowds in Knickers, brilliant tams, scarfs and sweaters assembled on the snow-covered hillside at the Intervale Jump, where the championship meets are held. Cham- pions from the ski centers of the United States, Canada and even from Switzerland, Norway and cther European countries come to Lake Placid to compete, leaping and descending the steep moun- tainside like swift arrows, If skiing is too much of a venture for your par- ticipation, there is the rough-and-tumble game of ice hockey, which came to us from ancient days and is now umiversal in all winter climes, Or if neither of these sports is to your liking you may sleigh-ride behind prancing horses with sleigh-bell music to stir your fancy. Then there is bob-sledding, too; more perilous, perhaps, than tobogganing and more thrilling. Every winter resort has its double-runmers ready for those who dare take their chances on the steep roads—the thrill of fear just before the start, the terrific intake of breath as the sled gains the speed of an express train, people’s hands clilnging, pull- ing, people laughing, shouting. It takes you back to childhood and you laugh at danger. No auto- mobile, no airplane give the same. sense of speea that one has when coasting down a steep, icy hill on a double-runner, blinking wind-whipped tears from the eyes, for one is never so near the ground that whizzes past. Added to this sense of speed is the knowledge that there is no way of stopping the sled, regardless of what may loom up in the narrow road ahead. . + t > w= it comes to general public interest in winter sports, Canada assumes leadership through the establishment of the winter sports carnivals in Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa. These Northern centers have become the mecca of thou- sands of devotees of tobogganing, dog-sled racing, figure skating, ice hockey, curling, snowshoe- ing, skiing, ski-Jumping, skijoring and other winter games In each of these centers there are guides and instructors for the inexperienced. Each has its husky teams avatlable for guests who may desire to spin through winter snows and who may order them just as they do taxis and cabs in other cities. As picturesque and thrilling as anything the. Tyrol has to offer are the toboggan runs of Can- ada—the huge four-track chute at Cote-des- Neiges in Montreal, the fine, sweeping rush of the great ride at Calgary, the Falls of Montmo- rency, Quebec, and the famous slide at Toronto. It is doubtful if any slide has ever excelled the ANA PRN gla A a Al Pa iia + SESS tae OVER THE TOP Me tka! eb MeL saps it ste soi emake: staan tia 843 perripihey * BF LS IPT I ee 2 =e. ae ee 4 ' +4 i “ PRN EEE TE This motor-driven sleigh, equipped with an airplane propeller, is capable of dragging its “snow-planing”’ appendage along at the speed of 70 miles an hour. wristed men in Scotland and Can- ade. In Canada alone there are 1.2200 curling clubs, whose many contests have gained for that sport the popularity of American bowl- ing contests. In Montreal nearly every one loves sports. The love of muscular exertion is in the blood. No city in the world offers a more beautiful setting for winter festivities than Montreal. Winter sports in Montreal for the most part focus about Mount Royal, which rears its im- posing bulk to a heaght of more than 600 feet in the heart of the city. This peak, with its sur- rounding area of nearly 500 acres, approached by winding roads, gentle inclines and precipi- tous declivities, offers enviable opportunities for a wide choice of outdoor exercise and sports. Skating is, and always has been, a popular sport in Montreal, the city that produced the Rubinstein brothers, who between them held the Canadian, American and world’s championships for figure-skating for many years. As for sleigh- ing, Montreal, with its many gold-trimmed red sleighs and fur-coated drivers, hardly regard it as a sport, but, rather, as a pleasurable Means of getting about in winter. However, it is one of the chief delights of the visitor. Where, too, can one find such opportunities for tobogganing as down the slopes of Mount Royal? Hundreds come for this thrilling, yet safe, sport. At night the scene is illuminated by huge bonfires, always cheery and conducive to merry- making. a ° > ” (y= could hardly write about winter sports with- out mention of St. Moritz, Switzerland, the loftiest, sprightliest and most cosmopolitan of winter-sport centers. For twenty years it has been a favorite place for international sportsmen. In the heart of the mountains, 6,000 feet above sea level, it nestles in constant sunshine and rarefied mountain air, which enable one to live out of doors right through a midwinter day. St. Moritz will always be a favorite center for winter sports for those who have the leisure for a long winter holiday. Americans are attracted there by the simplicity of the mountain country. There are hotels de luxe, of course, and at some of the centers one may find highly developed in- door amusements and a hectic social life. Yet the real Switzerland and the majority of sport places are conducted on very simple lines, natural and informal. There one is conscious of very little tourist com- motion. The normal life of the country pursues the even tenor of its way, unaffected by the influx of visitors. Oxen drag last summer's hay—grown, perhaps, on the high pastures and brought down the steep, snow-covered mountain slopes—along the cobblestoned streets in sledges. Children on their little toboggans scurry away to school. Mer- chants and other tradespeople go calmly about their tasks, and all seems natural and normal. This primitive and picturesque life in such a beau- tiful setting affords unsurpassed environment for one who seeks rest from the feverish rush of com- plicated conventions. As to the sports themselves, in Switzerland, as - in America, skiing has gained the favored place. So far the Swiss are ahead in the international ski races. They are a mountain people with ample opportunity for constant practice, There, too, one finds women matching the men in many winter sports. Recently, women have gone in for skiing with a daring almost unbelievable. They hurl themselves down the mountainsides with a speed that would have sent their grandmothers into hysterics. Tobogganing is also popular in Switzerland. At the Cresta, swiftest and most frequented of the Swiss runs, races like the Grand National call out A MILE A MIN Se acid na 2 eal witha ees sacs tceasttnabotiicinrecapnisriinnnamsniaaiibiea diana Wirinatinit PARE AANA, AR AN bile " i] Rar ‘ ' Pa Mit ae a VE WaMT bite i I How United States Is Coasting Into the Front Ranks of _— . and Switzerland th Development of - “Thriller” Games” Ste Ba < Tobogganing at the Lake Placid Club, New York.

I put my face forward so that I was not far from Commodore Bennett's and said: “Sir, do you realize that some people speak of you as ‘that old. scoundrel?’” It was a wonder he didn’t have his butler throw me out then and there. But not a muscle of his face twitched. I must say he took it well. “Why do you mention that?” The cat was out of the bag. But I didnt back water. “Because, commodore, I think you have attacked Peary without really knowing him.

Color came to his face. He showed real emotion. He looked away. a think you are right, captain,” he said pres- ently. Somehow I felt he meant it. The moment of silence that followed was the climax of my visit. My strain and apprehension left me. I felt relaxed. The coolness and defiance, even arrogance, of the old gentleman before me evaporated. We were just two men facing one another over a problem of mutual interest. It wasn't rich and poor, old and young, master and hand. It was man to man, - He motioned me to a seat. He began to speak. His voice had lost its strength a little and sounded tired. ‘ “I wish I could help you, Capt. Bartlett. I wish I were a younger man and could jump into this thing and see you through. But I am no longer young.” He paused. R “I am sorry, sir,” I said, Just a little embarrassed at his frankness. ’ “At my age one doesnt know what will happex next.” Again he paused. He shook his head. “No, Capt. Bartlett, I can not do it.” ne He rose. I got up. To my surprise, I did mot feel disappointed. There was so much justice in the old gentleman’s point of view I couldn't feel that he had nipped my hopes in the bud by hip simple statement.

A ¥ FOR THE WASHINGTON POST BOYS AND GIRLS Che {unior Post. SECTION OF THE WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON, D. C., FEBRUARY 17, 1929. ON FRIDAY WE CELEBRATE WASHINGTON'’S BIRTHDAY The Father of Our Country Set An Example Worthy of Emulation Dear Post Boys and Girls: Next Fri- day you will celebrate the birthday of America’s greatest man—George Wash- ington. The years which have passed since his death only brighten his fame and hig memory lives on, enshrined in the hearts of a grateful people. The essays, the drawings and the poems sent in have told me how much the character of George-Washington has ane to the hearts and minds of e members of The Junior Post Writers Club. We are more than 2,000 strong now and our membership literally is upon the Seven Seas. So our George Washington number will tell the story of this great man to boys and girls in all parts of the world. What are the principal lessons of his life? To my mind, they are fourfold— truth, honesty, earnestness of purpose and devotion to God and country. These attributes were like the armor of a knight to Washington, and they protected him all his life from his boy- hood to his old age from harm and danger and made his actions truly great. This armor of George Washington can be worn by any boy or girl today who cares to put it on. Remember this as you think of George Washington on his birthday next Friday. When he was only a very young boy George Washington wrote out a set of rules for himself as a guide to his be- havior. What a splendid idea that was. Suppose we try it, too. A special prize of $1 will be given for the best set of rules of behavior for boys and girls re- celved by March 10. That means be- havior in the home, the school, in play and in all relations of life into which & ahild may enter. Write only on one sidé of the paper and sign each entry with your name, address, and school. Address this matter to the Edi- tor of The Junior Post, Washington Post, Washington, D. C. Do you realize that sometimes The Junior Post mail and entries amount to more than 500 a week? That does not frighten your editor or the club editor, who gives her a helping hand in pre- paring your Junior Post. The more the merrier, and even 2,000 letters a week from our boys and girls would be wel- come. So sharpen your peticils and your wits and send in stories, drawings, strips, cartoons and poems, recipes and interesting material of all kind. To my mind, The Junior Post is the most in- teresting junior paper in the country, and it is your responsibility to keep~it in that proud position. By the way, our Tiny Tots put some of our older writers to shame by their enthusiasm and constant attempt to submit something to be worthy of pub- lication in The Junior Post. Their work is good, too, and it has the merit of be- ing always original, no matter how crude. On your toes, seniors, and show the Tiny Tots a shining example. EDITOR JUNIOR POST. A Noble Man of Virginia. On February 22, 1732, George Wash- | ington was born in Westmoreland County, Va. He lived to be 67 years of age and had more influence over American history than any other man that has ever lived in it. This hap- pened 197 years ago. His mother’s name was Mary Ball and his father’s Augustine. Both of them were from Virginia. A great deal of George Washington’s hon- or is due to the teachings of his mother and father. Mary, the mother of Wash- ington, was an intelligent woman. They moved from Westmoreland County to Stafford County. George Washington later made his home at Mount Vernon. As a boy George was fond of hunting and outdoor sports so he grew tall and strong. George’s father died when George was 10 years of age. When he was 14 he longed to be a sailor. His brother Lawrence owned a ship and gave George a position. George wore a fine military suit and his trunk was packed. As he went to tell his mother good- by, although she had given him per- mission to go, she burst into tears and hid her face. George at once undressed, unpacked his trunk, and stayed home to take care of his mother. He also fought many battles and en- dured many hardships. He was called “Father of His County.’ George was aiso known as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Instead of his going to sea he re- mained home, studied hard, and pro- gressed in his work. Lawrence Wash- ington lived at Mount Vernon, a beau- tiful old home on Potomac. It was later sold by some heirs to Mount Vernon Association which is made up of women from every State in the Union. Mount Vernon is known and loved ; ; always led the Americans. s Mead The dr Post lle arn DY Y —~ ehrabeth Carles by all Virginians. It faces the Potomac River. To visit Mount Vernon is interesting, all of the rooms are furnished with old furniture of Washington. Washington was also buried there. All of the out- door houses still stand as they did when Washington lived there. His mother and father were Chris- tians and used to teach George to kneel by them and pray God to watch over him. At school the boys used to play war. France against America. George It is told that he threw a stone across the Rap- pahannock River at Fredericksburg. One time when George was a small boy he had a new toy ax. In the orchard there was a newly set out cherry tree. George was playing and cut it down. When George's father asked who did it George replied, “I did it, father; I can not tell a le.” This proves he was truthful and a man of strong character. He also inherited wealth; was a land surveyor. He led troops in the Revo- lution and Colonial in French and In- Gian Wars; was a planter in Virginia. As first President of the United States he served two terms. He was a Fed- eralist; also president of the Constitu- tional Convention and later died at Mount Vernon December 14, 1799.

Washington, an Englishma-. who came to this country in 1657, and the son of Augustine Washington, a farmer. His education was limited to the ele- mentary subjects, but he acquired a fair knowledge of mathematics and sur- veying, chiefly by study. He adiopted Surveying as a profession when his widowed mother prevailed upon him to abandon the idea of entering the British army. In 1759 he married a young widow, Mrs. Martha Custis. Through the death of his brother he came into pos- session of extensive estates and plan- tations at Mount Vernon. Shortly after the outbreak of the War of Independence Washington was elected commander in chief of the American forces. He was compelled, by superior forces at times, to retreat and was reduced to the most desperate straits by disaffec- tion, lack of men and supplies and even cabals against his authority, but brought the war, with the aid of power- ful allies, to a successful ‘termination. After the independence of the thir- teen colonies was achieved he retired from the Army to Mount Vernon, where he had visited only once during eight years of war. He refused to accept pay, but kept a minute account of his personal ex- penses, which were reimbursed by Con- gress. Under the Federal Constitution George Washington was chosen Presi- dent and was inaugurated at New York April 30, 1789. At the second presiden- tial election in 1792 he desired to re- tire, but yielded to the people and served four more years. In 1796 he refused and on March 4, 1793 he returned Mount Vernon. In 1798, when war was threatened with France, the illustrious chief yield- ed to the demands of his country and accepted the post of commanding gen- eral of the United States forces, with the rank of lieutenant general, but a treaty of peace rendered his services unnecessary and he again returned to his Mount Vernon home. On December 12, 1799, he was ex- posed in the saddle for several hours to cold and snow and attacked with acute laryngitis. He died December 14. His last words were, “I died hard, but am not afraid to go.” After some in- structions to his secretary about his burial he became easier, f ‘t his own pulse and died without a struggle. He was mourned by the whole I! .-- tion and amply deserved the immortal epitaph, “First in peace, first in war and first in the hearts of his country- men.” to be reelected to ROSE KATZ (age 15). 1339 Maryland avenue northeast.

He got his early education from elementary schools in the Virginia colonies. He always loved military life and seemed to be a born leader. When he was 16 years old he was a land surveyor. At 21 he was major of Virginia Militia, at the time when the Colonies were about to fight France. When the real war begun he was made aide-de-camp to Gen. Braddock. Later, during the war he was made commander-in-chief of all Virginia forces. His first triumph over the British was at Dorchester Heights. In 1774 he was elected to the Pirst Continental Congress. There were many famous men there. We have all heard of the terrible winter at Valley Forge with his army starving and freezing. This showed his grit and courage. . In 1758 he married Martha Curtis, a young widow. In 1789 he was elected first President of the United States. He served two terms and was asked to serve another, but he refused. In 1799 he died at his home at Mount Vernon. Thus ended the life of a great patriot, statesman and seldier.

He became a surveyor, and, while little more than a boy, he was sent on a mission to the French forces on the Ohio. He was an aid to Gen. Braddock and saved the remnant of his forces from destruction. In the French and Indian wars he rose to the rank of colonel. He fre- quently was a member of the Virginia Legislature and was a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1775. He was commander in chief of the American forces during the Revolu- tion, but retired to private life in 1783. ‘ In 1787 he was president of the con- stitutional convention at Philadelphia. He was. elected President of the United States in 1789 and served two terms with distinction and ability. He died at Mount Vernon, December 14, 1799. He was a man of purest pa- triotism, of unusual ability and states- manship, who well deserves the char- acterization: “First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” We are told by an eyewitness of the inauguration that Washington “was dressed in deep brown, with metal but- tons, with an eagle on them, white stockings and sword.” His tall, erect figure would attract attention in any i gathering. He weighed about 200 pounds and wore a No. 13 boot. He was strong and active, a skillful rider and an expert fencer. It is said that in a running jump he could cover a digtamce of 22 feet. He was one of the wealthiest Ameri- cans of his day, his estate being valued at as much as $500,000. Besifies the family estate at Mount Vernon, which consisted of several thousand acres, he owned extensive tracts of fertile land near the Ohio River. LOUISE WILLIAMSON {age 13). Alexandria, Va., R.

In a low-roofed farmhouse in the Virginia colony, George Washington, the Father of our Country, was born. When this boy was old enough he was sent to a little log schoolhouse, which was known as “a field school.” Here he acquired a fair knowledge of mathematics. At the age of 9 or 10, he could ride a horse, and no boy in his school could ride as fast, swim as well, row as long as young Washington. He loved to roam through the fields and forests to enjoy the beauties of nature, and he was especially fond of flowers and birds. When he was 11 years of age, his good father died. Mrs. Washington was now compelled to take the part of both father and mother to George. Being a woman endowed with a noble character. she instilled into his young mind a love for truth, right and justice. George read a number of books, which filled him with thougnts of the deep and dark plue ocean; they made him long to be a sailor. He told his mother of his desire; she partly con- sented. but when the time of depar- ture came near. and he came dressed as @® midshipman to bid her good-by, she could not bear to part with him. Rather than grieve her further, he de- cided to remain at home, where he re- turned to school, and studied very dili- gently. At the age of 16 he undertook to survey a large tract of land for Lord Fairfax, who lived near him. It was at this time that he adapted surveying as a profession. When Washington was 19 years old, the governor made him a major in the militia, and he soon became skillful in the use of swords and guns. In 1754, when the French and In- dian War broke out, George, mow a colonel, was sent to help the English. Here he displayed unusual skill and bravery, so it is not surprising that in a short time he became the hero of the colonists : At the outbreak of the Revolution- ary War. Washington was selected as commander in chief of the American Army. During the years of the war he showed himself a brave and able gen- eral. beloved and respected by his soldiers. At last the English were driven from the American shores, and the United States became a free Nation Washington returned to Mount Ver- non to live in peace and quietness in hie beautiful country home. But the people needed his masterly hand in the government of the country. He was unanimously elected first President of the United States. During his eight years in the presi- dential chair he ruled the country so wisely and so well that the citizens wished him to accept.the third term, but Washington respectfully declined. This great man died at Mount Ver- non December 14, 1799. “First in war, first im peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” “etfett-rier fiw | When "Mother Lets Us Cook | KARO SEAFOAM. cups sugar. cup Earo. 3 cup water. éggs, whites only. % teaspoonful salt. 1 cup chopped nuts. 1 teaspoonful ‘vanilla.

Mary Ball and Augustine Washington were married on the 6th of March, 1730, February 22, 1732, their first child was born, whom they named George. Little did they dream that he would be the first President of the United States. The birthplace of George Washington was a picturesque spot on the placid shore of the Potomac. From earliest childhood George de- veloped a very noble character. In childhood he was noted for frankness, fearlessness and moral courage. When George was 10 years of age Augustine Washington died, leaving’ George and five other children fatherless. ‘ Mrs. Alexander Hamilton tells a story of George Washington at a party given in his honor at Fredericksburg, Va. When the church bell rang the hour of 9, Lady Washington rose and said: “Come, George, it is 9 o’clock. It is time for us to go home.” Like a gen- tleman, George rose and gave his mother his arm. ee There was a public school in the neighborhood, which George attended and where he acquired a good English education. At 16 years of age George left school. He excelled in mathematical studies and had become familiar with the prin- ciples of geometry and became a prac- tical surveyor. Upon leaving school George went to spend a little time with his elder half- brother, Lawrence, dt Mount Vernon. The house was situated upon high ground, commanding an _ extensive view of the Potomac and surrounding country. Lawrence Was nm mar- ried a daughter of Mr. William Fairfax. Lord Pairfax, brother of William Fairfax, engaged George Washington to do some surveying for him. When Washington was 17 years of age the State of Virginia employed him as a public surveyor. For three years he was engaged by the Government. At 19 George Washington was one of the most prominent men in the State of Virginia. The Governor of Virginia sent Wash- ington as a commissioner to remon- strate with the French against estab- lishing their military post upon the f waters of the Chic River. Washington started from Willlamsburg on this perilous expedition on the 14th of No- vember, 1753. Washington was inaugurated Presi- dent of the United States on the 30th of April, 1789. He died December. 14, 1799, at the age of 67 years 9 months and 23 days. February 22 is a legal holiday throughout the country. MARIAN GROGAN (age 11). 2400 Thirteenth street northwest. A Great Man.

Washington was born in the year 17, February 22. death was in the year of 1799. He was 67 years old when he died. He grew up learning to Se honest. Wher George was still a boy, his father gave him a hatchet for a birth- } day present. His father had a favorite cherry tree, of which he was very fond. George. seeing the cherry tree. cut it down. with a few blows. Then he sat down beside it. Soon his father came along. He asked the boy if he had cut the tree down. “Yes. father, I did,” said George; “I can not tell a lie.” So thus Washington grew up in honesty. When the war came on, Washington was big enough to go to war. He was made adjutant of Virginia troops in 1761; sefit on a mission to the French beyond the Allegheny River in 1753, and had many other honors besides. Washington did his best in all of these things. He was made President of the United States in 1789. Then, when the four years were up. another President was supposed to be elected, but the people wanted Washington again, so he was reelected in 1793. He served another term, but he had been so faithful that they wanted him a third time. Wash- i mn absolutely refused. another man took his place. When he died tn 1789 he was laid to rest at Mount Vernon. SARAH ANNE RAPP (age 7). Bill. I had a dog; His name was Bill; He got sick, So I gave him a pill.

Their names were Dick, Tom and Walt. The next morning all of the boys woke up with a feeling of joy. Three of them got permission to go fishing. Dick came downstairs and _ said, “Mother, please may I go to the pond with the rest of the boys to fish.” “No,” said his mother, “I want you to get the wood for the week chopped because your father has gone to the city on some business and the hired men are cutting hay under the super- vision of your brother. You must do your part, you know.” That morning about 10 o'clock the boys came down the road and saw Dick cutting the wood. “Come on, Dick,” called Bob. “Can't.” was the answer, “Gotta chop wood.” His dog looked at him in surprise. Hs wanted to skylark with the other dog. but he stayed with his master. All that day Dick ran, worked, did chores and/’carried water to the men in the fields. His father telephoned about 3 o’clock and said he would be home about 8 p. m. A rumble of wheels and joyful shouts from both boys and their moth- er and joyful barks from the greeted the father as laden with bun- dies he stepped from hig car at the door. He held out his het. coat and gloves to Dick and his parcels to Dick’s brother. Soon all the presemts were dis- tributed around. - To Dick he gave a long box. With an exclamation of joy he apened the box. “A fishing rod,” he cried. “Oh, boy, hot diggity dog!” The next morning he showed it to the boys. They looked at it. “Humph!" said one, “more’n I got.” “Me, too,” echoed the rest. “What happened?” asked Dick. “We all fell in. We thought we had a whale or.sumpin', and it turned out to be a pile of rubbish and logs.” “Too bad,” muttered Dick. “I guess I ain’t so sorry I stayed home any way. You fellows got all wet and I got a new fishing ro.” MARY COSGROVE (age 10). 1300 Harvard street northwest. A Good Surprise. Once there was a poor little girl. Her name was Elsie.

C, The Father of His Country. George Washington, who is known as the “Father of His Country,” was born on the banks of the Potomac in West- moreland County, Va. February 22, 1732. Washington's father died when he was about 12 years old. George grew up a planter's son, that is, a gentleman. When not at school he was at liberty to ride, play, hunt or amuse himself as he pleased. He learned to hunt deer, wild turkeys, bear and ducks The sur- rounding streams abounded in fish, which gave him an opportunity to do a great deal of fishing. W ngton lived an xeal boy’s life. He grew up tall, straight and athletic: In school he studied reading, arith- metic and writing. The books he used have been preserved and they show neatness and accuracy. Later in years under the advice of Lord Fairfax, Washington studied geometry to pre- pare himself for surveying. January, 1750, Washington married Martha Custis.

SS ST. .CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND -- Our First President. George Washington, the first Presi- dent of the United States, was born in Westmoreland County, Va., in 1732 and died at Mount Vernon in 1799. Hig great-grandfather was an Eng- lishman and emigrated in 1657. His father, Augustine was a farmer. Washington did not acquire much education other than that of an ele- mentary school. ays He then left school and studied sur- veying. He began his military career at the early age of 19. He was made adjutant general of the Virginia Militia, but showed his mili- tary skill to such great advantage that he was appointed commander. In 1755 he accompanied Gen. Brad- dock on his digastrous expedition. Washington's half-brother died, leav- ing him the vast estate called Mount Vernon. He then married Mrs. Martha Custis, a wealthy widow. Immediately after the outbreak of the Revolutionary War he was ap- pointed commander in chief of the American troops and began his event- ful career in American history. After he had by his calm courage and perseverance achieved liberty for the American colonies, he retired from the service and returned to Mount Ver- non. He was not to enjoy the quiet soll- tude of his home very long as he was chosen unanimously to be our first President. He was inaugurated in New York in 1789. After serving four years as President he expressed his desire to retire. He finally was persuaded to serve four years longer. He declined to be reelected again as he wished to return to Mount Vernon and enjoy the com- forte of home life. He chose the site for the Capitol in Washington and also that of the White House. Four days before his death he and his wife inspected the rooms of the re- cently completed White House. On December 12, 1799, he was at- tacked with acute laryngitis and died December 14. His last words were characteristic of his calm, courageous nature. He said: “I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.” He died as he lived, “First in peace, first in war and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” KATHERINE H. FOLGER (age 14), 12 Federal et., Nantucket, Mass. George Washington. Awarded Gold Pin. Probably we should not think about Washington as a boy at all, but for that tradition of the cherry tree and the hatchet, a tradition so dear that it will be believed, whether true or not. George Washington died at Mount Vernon, you all know that. You have séen pictures of the sacred and beauti- ful spot. You know, too, that he was born February 22, 1732, for everybody celebrates his birthday. But how many of you know where he was born? It was in an old. Virginia farm house, which had one story, four rooms, and two great fireplaces that sent most of the heat up the chimney. Not a sign of the house remains and its location in Westmoreland County is not easily found. Washington's father, Augustine, would very likely never have been known in history but for the fact that he was the father of his son George. Yet he was a man worth knowing. George inherited from him love of truth, strict integrity and spirit, and sound mind. The cherry tree incident might well have happened, for it fits well into the character of both father and son. The father died when the son was 11, but he had done much to shape the latter's habits. George was fond of athletics and out- door life, and as a boy was one of the best riders to be found. It was by his daring horsemanship in a hynting chase that he won the admiration of Lord Fairfax, who did much for him in the way of polishing his manners and forming his literary tastes. In all the country sports Washington was foremost. If not generally popular, that was due to a natural gravity of seriousness. He wrote out a set of 57 rules very re- markable for a boy, and followed them assidiously. I can give only a few of them here: 1. Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present. 2. In the presence of others sing not to yourself with a humming noise, nor drum with your fingers or feet. 3. Let your countenance be pleasant, but in serious matters, somewhat grave. 4. When a man does all he can, though he succeeds not well, blame not him that did it. 5. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience. A very remarkable code of conduct, certainly, for a boy of 15. The last one --— is “worth its weight in gold,” and you can see that spark in Washington to the end of his life and all through it, Washington's influence for good can be read in the words he addressed to his army: “The general hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor so to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.” Washington never fought for glory. Declining to be reelected to the Presi- dency in 1797, he retired with great delight to his beloved Mount Vernon. “My best wishes, however, for the pros- perity of our country will always have the first place in-my thoughts,” he writes to a friend. Less than two years of peaceful life and then, at 67, the end came. His last words were, ‘It is well.” The “Pather of His Country” left a great name &nd memory. We honor ourselves as we honor him, and the whole world honors him. Be sure to visit Mount Vernon if you possibly can. Standing by the bed upon which he breathed his last, looking into the tomb where his mortal remains rest, you will feel a peculiar reverence and thank God that such a man was our first great leacier. ; MARGARET WALDECKER (age 12). 714 Webster street northwest. George Washington. Geeorge Washington was born in Westmoreland County, Va., February 22, 1732. He was a great commander in chief of the American forces during the Revolutionary War. He retired to private life in 1783. He was so much thought of in the hearts of his coun- trymen. He was one of the wealthiest Ameri- cans of his day. He was strong and active, a skillful rider and an expert fencer, To Washington we owe much. Mount Vernon, the home of George Washing- ton still stands. He died December 14, home in Mount Vernon.. ELIZABETH FERRELL (age 14). Quantico School, Quantico, Va. George Washington. George Washington, the son of a Vir- ginia planter, became the leader of the armies of the United States in the war. At the close of the war, after he had made America free, he was elected our first President. His name stands today among those of the greatest men in 1799, at his the history of the world. CATHERINE HAAS (age 13), : 1325 I street northeast. —. George Washington. On the 22d of February, 1732, Under Virginia’s sky of blue, Was born George Washington, Who, for country, independence free, he went. Of December 14, 1799, There came that terrible deathly sign. And on the 14th day He passed away. Into everlasting eternity, Which we shall all one day see. He was a man of character. He was broad and tall. He gave up his life For country and for all. HILDA RUPPERT (age 12). 2602 Connecticut avenue. To the Father of Our Country. Washington, hero of Our Land, Father of Our Country, United, free we stand. Oh thou perfect guide Father of Our Country We know how thou has tried Nor wouldst thou fail Father of Our Country Through that storming gale. And thou didst not try in vain Father of Our Country For us thou withstood pain. And thoy didst succeed Father of Our Country In preserving our creed. Washington, hero of Our Land, Father of Our Country, United, free we stand. PAULINE VIRGINIA ROGERS. 167 Arlington Ridge, Alexandria, Va. Rattle Trapper. A little trapper, tires all down, Long may & chug in high As many an eye has turned to see That rattle-trap go by. Beneath it leaks the gasoline, And flat the tires did go, That good old rattle-trapper Shall travel the roads no more. JAMES M’CAUSLAND (age 11). Baliston, Va. . A Dream. I went to sleep one night When the moon was shining bright, And I dreamed a wonderful dream As the moonlight on me did stream In the month of May, On a summer's day In a garden fair, With the flowers rare Stood a fairy queen With her maids serene, They. were dressed in aiik, And were fair as milk. They had golden hair, And the roses fair Seemed to bloom in their cheeks With thie lovelist care. Their lips were so red That the flowers said They'd never before seen so lovely a shade, Then one pretty maid, She smilingly said, She’s the queen of us fairy folk, Now violets, don’t begin to choke With laughter, this is not a joke, You can ask her, don’t be frightened, And this was a scene, a lovely scene, In the garden serene, of the fairy queen, And her maidens so fair Witb their golden hair. Then I heard a voice, a voice loud and clear, “Come, Ruthie, come quickly; now, do you hear?” I awoke with a start and observed with dismay, My dream had all melted and faded away. RUTH STAPLES (age 11). Dahigren, Va. Old English Evening. The room is bright With the cheery light Of the firelight’s cheerful Outside, the night How the wind does bite! Drifting the new fallen snow. Areund the fire we sit And the roast on the spit Gives forth a cheering smell The chimes rang And danced and sang Of the good old dinner bell Ah! the roast is done Bring forth the rum For the good men’s cheery toast The feast is o’er, The hounds on the floor Are fed the ends of the good pork roast. Home the neighbors go, Over the snow And the cheery glow fades afar. In the skies gbove The moon with love Hugs one little evening star. ANNA MAF. BAINES (age 11).
