INSERTED TO CORRECT WELCH ACT’S EFFECTS Federal Employes’ Officials Predict That Senate Will Defeat Action. By the narrow margin of 1 vote, the House last night approved a proposal to reduce the salaries of the higher- paid employes in the Federal service It is contended that these employes got more than they were supposed to get under the Welch act. The provision is contained in the second deficiency bill and was inserted by the House appropriations committee on the theory that the Brookhart-Lehl- bach bill to correct the Welch salary act would not pass at this session. When the provision was reached in the bill at a session last night, Repre- sentative Bachman (Republican), West Virginia, made a point of order against it on the ground that it was legisla- tion in an appropriation bil] and there- fore in violation of the rules, Upheld by Lehibach. Representative Lehlbach (Republi- can), New Jersey, chairman of the House civil service committee, who was presiding in the House at the time, ruled against Bachman and upheld the, provision, saying that it was justified with a very subtle difference.

The spot where the woman was found is less than 15 miles from the place, beside a little-traveled road, near Morristown, where in the early dawn of February 20, 1928, almost exactly a year ago, Miss Margaret Brown, New York governess, was found, drugged, beaten and with her gasoline-soaked clothing aflame. That murder was never solved. The Cranford police and the prose- cutor’s office in Elizabeth have only one clew, and that a scanty one, to the murderer of the woman found today.

There was a complete repentance on the part of a number of senators who Friday helped pass the Dill-Bratton Nicaraguan amendment by a vote of 38 to 30. Both President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellogg were early in touch with leaders at the Capitol and the current report was that the President regarded the amendment as an affront to his administration. Senator Jones, the Republican whip, frankly and openly announced his change of heart. “I feel satisfied we can depend on the President of the United States. ‘elther the present incumbent or the incoming President, to do the wise thing, the proper thing and the patri- otic thing and 1 propose to change my vote.” The chief cause of the switch of votes, however, was the realization on the part of Democrats as well as Re- publicans that the supply bill would be seriously jeopardized if the WNica- Taguan amendment remained in. §eu- ator Heflin had consumed most of the time prior to the vote with a renewed desperate effort to put the Senate on record against the Cathoiic Church by adopting his so-called Roman ilag amendment. He was smothered by an adverse vote of 70 to 7. Then Sen.tor Hale, in charge of the Navy bill, called for a separate vote in the Senate on the Nicaraguan amendment.

In fact, it will have to pass out of the picture if the Republicans are to have any future success. But to simply desire that these or- ganizations be obliterated is not to have it done.

(Associated Press.) After an all-day wrangle over pro- hibition, in which the Republican's clung stubbornly to the budget recom- mendations and beat back every at- teinpt of the Democrats to !ncrease the $2,727,000 for enforcement, the House quit last night without a final vote on the second deficiency bill. Democrats indicated that when the $191,000,000 measure comes up tomor- row a motion would be made to re- commit the bill to the House appre- priations committee for the purpose of incorporating the $24,000,000 prohibi- tion amendment that Jed to the death in conference of the first deficiency bill.

Sixty-three-year-old Capt. Guy E. Burlingame, suspended from his command of the Second Police Precinct in the thirty-third year of his service in the police department, yesterday was pictured to a special police trial board as a determined lover whose amorousness would not brook denial, and who sought to shower gifts ‘of thousands of dollars on his “dream girl.” The picture was painted verbally by Mrs. Helen F. Blalock, who formerly was a palmist in Burlingame’s precinct at 1504 and 1606 Seventh street northwest, the self-same “dream girl” to whom ‘the burly Burlingame is charged with writing fervent love letters, shower- ing-with gifts and making ardent love before their friendship went on the. rocks. “Ne Admission that her relations with Burlingame were “improper, -4 suppose,"’ was made by Mrs. Blalock in the closing minutes of the first day of the trial, and at the conclusion of her direct testimony under the guidance of Corporation Counsel William W. Bride and Assistant Corporation Counsel Walter L. Fowler and the trial was immediately adjourned by Maj. D. A. Davison, chairman of the trial board. to be resumed at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning in the Sixth Police Precinet, when Mrs. Blalock will be subject to eross-examination by William E.

Mrs. Blalock had been on the witness stand for nearly three and « half hours, identifying love letters, checks, receipts, notes and other } papers to the number of 31 exhibits, proferred by the prosecution, when Fowler, who was examining her, asked her: “What were your. relations with The woman’s voice dropped a Capt. Burlingame?” little lower and. she hesitated a moment before she answered “Improper, I suppose.” “You were perfectly willing?” “Absolutely not. He was repulsive to me.”’ She was born in Washington, Mrs. Blalock said, although she did not give the date, married here, moved to Florida, tried palmistry there for a while and then returned to Alexandria, Va. “What did you do there?” Fowler@— asked. There was a long silence, while Mrs. Blalock looked down at her brown leather gloves, which were topped with wide cuffs decorated with a blue de- sign, looked up and down again, cleared her throat and asked, very quietly, “Do I have to answer that?” She ran a house of ill repute there, she said. A little while before she had leaned back in her chair to glare at Bur- lingame, who was seated between his attorneys at the opposite end of the table, to declare with an emphasis through which considerable satisfaction showed, that Burlingame “asked me to marry him when his wife died.” Didn't Tell Burlingame. When she told of her life in Alex- andria, Fowler inquired, “Did you tell Capt. Burlingame about that?” “I did not,” the woman answered. As the case proceeded to its conclu- sion for the day and ifs climax Bur- lingame, indeed, looked as “heartsore” as he ts charged with saying he was in one of the letters to Mrs. Blalock. Burlingame sought to make her gifts of thousands of dollars, Mrs. Blalock said, defiantly looking down the table at the man whom she sald told her he was her “Heartsore Daddy” because she sent him some of his clothes which he had kept in her apartment. Flight to See Eagle Pass., Tex... Feb. 23 (A.P.).— Romance would not be denied tonight. A filer that the world loves to call its very own sped out into the night unm der starry skies, bound for old Mexico to visit his sweetheart. Suspicions which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh left behind when he took off from Abilene, Tex., this afterhoon after declining to write his destination in the airport registry were verified when the famous filer came to earth at Eagle Pass on the Texas-Mexico border to- night and announced that he was en rcute to Mexico City. He landed at 7:30 p. m. and sald he would take off at day- break tomorrow for the Mexican capital When asked if he intended to marry his flancee, Miss Anne Morrow, whik on this trip, the “Lone Eagle” preserved a stony silence. The first definite grounds for sus- pecting that Lindbergh was to lay aside his role of route inspector for his com- pany, National Air Transport, Inc., for that of a Lochinvar of the air, were discovered at Abilene this afternoon when after failing to record his des- tination, the flier headed his plane southward inatead of in a westerly di- rection. Airport officials at Van Nuys, Calif., previously had announced re- celpt of a telegram from the aviator which stated he proposed to land there tonight. But those following “Lindy’s’” flight were wary. For there always is mys- tery in a Lindbergh adventure. Despite the fact that nothing was known of Lindbergh's plans, more than a hundred persons were on hand for his landing in the remote city of Eagle Pass. Since the time Col. Lindbergh left the East on filghts westward severa! days ago ostensibly to inspect depots CONTINUED ON PAGE 13. COIUMN 2. MEET SPRING ON ITS NORTH- WARD JOURNEY AT ASHEVILLE.

Asked why he gave it to her, she replied, “He did not say.” On Christmas Day, 1927, he brought her $2,500' as a Christmas present, she said. A few weeks later, on March 7, 1928, her bifthbday, he gave her $1,500 as a birthday present. At another time he paid $245.14 due as taxes on one of her properties, she said. At another time he gave her $700 as a gift. At an- other time he paid a contractor $500 to protect her interests under a contract. Burlingame, too, she said, got and paid for her licenses as a palmist and occu- pancy permits. ’ All of these gifts were made to her over her protests, the woman said, and Index to Today's Issue.

_ when she did not accept the sums Bur- lingame deposited them in banks to her credit. All of these sums, except $25 for her last paimistry license, however. she re- turned to him later, and that, she sa’ |. accounted for the checks and drafts and receipts which comprise a part of the evidence through which it is >»ught t© convict the police captain of con- duct unbecoming an officer and preju- ciicial to the good order, reputation :na discipline of the Police Department. Burlingame didn't want to take back the moners, she said, but she insisted. Once Burlingame showed her $14,000 in $1,000 and $500 biils and gave her a eard which would make certain that the envelope in which the money was ’ kept would be turned over to her “if anything happens to me.” Burlingame sent her a blank receipt to protect her and, her estate from any claims which she seemed to fear he might later make against it. Just to help her. Burlingame wrote, was pay enough. Most of the testimony was given br the paimist in a low voice. and twice she was cautioned to speak louder, once by Maj. Davison and once by Bride, but there was no need for such admo- nition when she told of how she had asked Burlingame if he wanted his let- ters back. She told about that in a raised roice and emphasized her words with a look at Burlingame and a toss of her head. She had accused Burlingame of forc- ing open a metal wardrobe, and asked him if he had been hunting for his letters to her. Burlingame protested, she said, that he did not care !f the whole world knew what he had written to her; he had said nothing he was ashamed of. and did not want back his letters, and to prove his sincerity, sat down and wrote her the famous letter beginning “My Dear Helen” and closing with “Your Heartsore Daddy,” and he signed his full name in ink to prove his sincerity, *, although his other letters were not so, signed. “He said he did not care who knew what was in the letters, and called me several times on the phone, and finally . IL. took the receiver off the hook,” Mrs. Blalock said. “In a few days I got this letter,” and she patted it with her palm several times as it lay before her on the table, Glare as Glances Meet. Two or three times the eyes of Bur- lingame and the palmist met-in the. course of her testimony. The first time was soon after she had taken the wit- ness stand and was asked to identify the police captain. The official stenographer and Wood- ard, one of Burlingame’s attorneys, were seated between the woman and the police captain. She leaned back in her chair and Burlingame leaned out from the table and met her glance, amiling a half-smile which he could not make look happy. There was a long level look between them, defiant and angry on the part of the woman and calm and sad from Burlingame, when Mrs. Blalock read a paragraph from a letter quoting Bur- lingame as saying that “if you have any desire to be fair, I am entitled to an explanation.” Captain's Face Grows Gray. Once Burlingame yawned and tried to appear bored and nonchalant, but it was the kind of a yawn that never really gets started. The police captain, described to Con- gress by his chief of police as the “best roughneck policeman on the force,” was not hardboiled enough to enjoy hearing himself pictured as a defeated and de- epised lover by the woman whose charges against bim have brought upon him the greatest tragedy of his officia! life, and his face got grayer and grayer and drawn with lines as the day wore on. Mrs. Bialock was derisive in her com- ments on the love-making she charged against Burlingame, declared she had often rebuked him about “all this baby girl stuff and your broken-hearted dad- dy and such as that.” She said she told him not to waste his time because she would pay no attention to “any- thing he wrote” because “I knew he was insincere.” Burlingame is a large man whose heayy shoulders are topped with a strong head and face. Two months ago his face was ruddy complexioned and his blue eyes were bright with vigor. Yesterday his eyes seemed dull and his complexion was gray. his face sunken and the spring was gone from his walk, things he could not cover up by an assumption of bluff callousnéss im his conversations during trial re- cesses. Mrs. Blalock is a woman of medium stature, tending to plumpness. She looks about 45, and.the years have writ- ten lines about her mouth and reced- ing chin and marked her neck. Her hair is a deep henna color and just showed beneath the brim of a close fitting light tan hat, trimmed with a ribbon a lighter shade of tan. The hat covered her entire head and Was turned up over her eyes and in the back. It looked as though it had fust been taken out of a hat box for the first time. . Mrs. Blalock Nervous. She wore a black sealsKin coat, trim- med with a brown fur collar, on the right side of which was a rose of cloth. She took the off and put it on two or three tim the course of her testimony. Her dress was of brown figured silk with solid brown collar and cuffs. That she was nervous was indicated | by the twitching of her small mouth while waiting questions and listening t® attorneys discuss legal points. Her lips were well touched with rouge and beneath her blue eyes were the touches of @ grease pencil. mn after she began testifying she took out of her coet pocket a pair of tortoise shell spectacles with which to read the documents pre- sented her for examination. Her voice was low and somewhat husky, as though touched with a cold. Throughout her testimony she ended her interrogations and answers with a polite “sir.” wore light colored stockings and black, strap slippers. Late in Trial's Start. The trial, scheduled to start at 10. o'clock in the morning, got under way 24 minutes late because Mrs. Blalock and her numerous escort of Depart- ment of Justice agents, who zealously gusrded her every moment, was late. Meanwhile an eager throng was mill- ing about the hal! of the station house, seeking to gain admission to the trial room, But under orders issued by Capt. Martin Reilly, commander of the Sixth Precinct, none was permitted to go above the first floor to get to the trial room. Even newspaper reporters were denied access to the trial room until Maj. - Davison, chairman, issued rs that they be admitted after he Mad been sent a note by the reporters. Then they were escorted up the stairs, and admitted to the trial] room, one by one, but only after they had been searched.

Blalock, accompanied by a woman Department of Justice agent, and followed by eleven other agents, is shown in upper photograph arriving at the Sixth Precinct station hause for the Burlingame trial, from her hiding place in the Burling- ton Hotel annex, Mrs. Blalock was sur- rounded by a small army of secret service agents immediately she alighted from her automobile, and nurried into the station house and was secluded in a back room until she was called be- fore the trial board. When recess was taken at 11:45 for lunch the young army of agents again |surrounded her and took her out of a side door, where two automobiles were awaiting the palmist and guards. Just before the board met again at 1 o'clock she was hurried back into the station and into her wating room. There was no effort at strong-arm work on the part of her protectors, but they were as effective as they were de- termined. Postponement Is Refused. Meanwhile vocal and bitter com- plaints were being voiced by men and women who had crowded into the sta- tion early in the morning seeking a fa- vored seat in the trial room when they found they were not to be admitted. The station was crowded before 9 o'clock, Immediately the board was called to order by Maj. Davison, Woodard, de- until 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. There was a long argument which finally was decided by the board after pinned Assistant United States District Attorney William H. Collins down to a@ direct answer to a question whether he would agree to keep Mrs. Blalock in Washington beyond 6 o'clock tomor- row afternoon by States subpena. her presence here tomorrow was served on Mrs. Blalock yesterday. “We will not,” Collins finally de- elared, whereupon Davison ordered the trial after the examination of Mrs. Bla- lock had been completéd. Defense counsel had mae a deter- mined effort to have the trial postponed untill Wednesday and were visibly dis- appointed over Davison’s ruling. Woodward and Leahy derided the argument that Mrs. Blalock could yot ted that the subpena, but declared that the District ta do so. Crandal Mackey. of County.

Mackey Causes Another Clash. | A second later he precipitated the | first heated clash of the trial when he ‘declared that “even where a married | 'Mman has committed adultery in this | District with a single woman she can not be prosecuted.

Mackey refused to go about his conference with his client, but did say that several matters con- cerning her property and the protection of her interests here were discussed. “She said it was terrible not to be able to go out anywhere.” Mackey said afterward. “She said it was like being in jail.” : Mackey will not be at the Burlin- game trial tomorrow because he will be in court in Virginia inthe Arling- ton County annexation .

Unless Con- gress in the final week postpones the | there effective date of this provision, it will become incumbent upon the new Pres- | ident to issue an order in April putting | it into operation on July 1.

Increase for Germany. ‘Meanwhile new estimates were 1aid before President Coolidge yesterday bys the committee which has worked for four years on the complex problem of determining the quotas for the various nations under the national] origins pro-~ visions. It was understood the new quota estimates would give Germany and the Irish Free State slight increases in the number of immigrants allowed to en- ter this country over those provided under the first estimate. The quotas fr both countries would remain con- siderably reduced, however, from the numbers allowed each at present. Under existing law the quotas for each nation are fixed on the basis of 2 per cent of the population repre- sented in this country by the foreign nations in the census of 1880 On that basis the countries of northwest Europe are entitled to 85 per cent of the annual immigration. Germany gete the largest quota— | gardener's abou’ 31 per cent; England is second, with 20 per cent of the immigration | total, amd the Irish Free State third, | with 17 per cent. 42 Per Cent English. The national origins provision was enacted in the 1924 act but has never Deen put into effect, pending the fina} arrangements of the quotas. The pro- vision stipulates that the allotment of quotas from the 150.000 total shall be meted out to the various nations ac- cording to the percentage of people each nation had in this country when the first census was taken in 1790. The estimates finally determined after much wrangling, would give Eng- land the 42 per cent of the 150,000— compared to 20 per cent at present Germany would be cut down to 16 per cent and the Irish Free State to about 11 per cent. Under the new program, Germany would have an annual quota of about 25.000, compared to 51.227 under the present law: England would have 65.- 000, compared to 34.000 now, and the Irish Free State would have about 17,- 000. compared to 28,000 now. The modified estimates would give Germany about 26,000 and the Irish Free State about 18.000. The annual quotas for Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland also would diminish slightly under th@ na- tional origins provision, according to preliminary estimates. Capt. P. W.

Flowers raised by Mr. Henlock have gone out during the 41 years to friends of Presidents and their wives, to hospi- | tals, to weddings and to funerals, each assortment of blossoms carrying an ex- pression of sentiment appropriate to| Capitol Bullding. where notable tree/the dignity the place should have. the occasion. Directs 59 Subordinates. A kindly man, large of stature and quietly friendly, Mr. Henlock still ts so active and in command of his faculties that he directs the work of 59 subordl- nate employes and manages the output of 30 greenhouses. His hair is white and he doesn’t get around as smartly as he did back in Grover Clevekand’s time. but he loves his work and hopes “they” will let him watch his flowers a few more years. In these piping times of industrial expansion and business’ prosperity when great wealth is diverting young men into channels of trade, whére the clash of ability brings affluence to those who make the grade, it is reas- suring, in a sense, to meet a man who for two score years has found hapn‘!ness and a degree of material success @ fol- lowing a work that does not answer to! ‘an ambition dominated by the desire for wealth.

Every tree and shrub in the Capital City, excepting those along the streets, has been under his care for 41 years and much of the physical beauty of the Capital is due to him and the office of public buildings and grounds, adminis- tered for the last four years by Col. U. S. Grant 3d, under whom Mr. Henlock carries on his work. The flowers that give color to every White House func- tion; the shrubs that make a picture of the White House grounds, and especial- iy the fine collection of bay trees that lend a stately magnificence to the mansion in summer, are his, by the sentimenta] possession reposing in the man who nurses and cares for them. Presidents Not Visitors. During the years, Mr. Henlock has found the wives of all the Presidents he has known to be charming ladies, and gracious. Fifteen of the thirty green houses adjacent to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, near the Wash- ington Monument grounds, are the White House greeneries, and from them he sends cut flowers to the Executive Mansion each day. Mrs. Coolidge favors pinks and roses and carnations, there- fore these are provided in greater num- ber than other varieties. Mr. Henlock has high praise for Mrs. Coolidge, whom he has found to be a kindly, gracious woman. Occasionally she visits the greenhouses to show friends the collection of plants and she has been deeply appreciative of the gardner’s success with the blossoms. President Coolidge has never visited the greenhouses. In fact, no President since Roosevelt has called. Mr. Hen- lock remembers President Roosevelt as a lover of flowers, who dropped in two or three times to admire the plants. It was in the Roosevelt administra- tion that the houses were moved from the White House grounds to the pres- ent location. The place now raises all the shrubs used in the parks of the city, and Mr. Henlock’s work comprises the supervision and care of the phys- ical attributes of the parks and the SO THIS IS WASHINGTON! By CARLISLE BARGERON President-elect Hoover would Iike to make this country serious-minded, and the indications are he wil) make a/| cetermined effort to this end. His relations with the public and with the press, it is believed, will be with a view to having himself looked upon aé@ an officer of the Government, the head of the Government, in fact, but not as a personality. He does not eee what business it is of anyone what he eats. what he wears, or what are his ; diversions. He is mate approaches, or any of other Presidents. any discussion of his family, or its activities. Mrs. Hoover will, of course, appear very much in the picture, but! it is doubtful if the two sons. Alien or Herbert jr., will. If he has his way, the country at the end of his administration will have no clear picture of him, the man, but rather of what he has done. He is not the man for trivialities and -~he has no patience with people who discuss them. Those great number of people who like to discuss the weather and who in Jater years have added the subject of prohibition to their ready) tonversation are wholly without his ken. He put up with a lot of things curing the campaign that he did not like but which the politicians prevailed upon him he had to do, but now that he is elected it is believed that he wil] do everything in his power to dis- courage them. ! There was the recent incident on his Florida trip. His train was due for a 20-minute lay-over for railway opera- tioh purposes. A local delegation had planned to come down and monopolize the entire time. He hed the train slow down so that it would reach this city ten or fifteen minutes late and thus shorten the stay there.

Expects Mrs. Hoover. Mr. Henlock has not met Mrs. Her- he understands that she is “1 very fine lady.” If she follows the custom, she will visit the greenhouses soon after the inauguration and Henlock about her choice of plants, If she prefers some other color than pink it may be that he will have to make certain changes. “Of course, we will do our best to comply with her wishes.” Mr. Henlock satd. “Mrs. Coolidge likes pink and Mrs. Harding was fondest of red. A real red flower delighted her. But we won't be able to make a great change at any time, because only certain col- ors can be used attractive:y in the White House.

But he is high in Als praise of Mrs. Coolidge, in whom he sees the same qualities which enabled the youngful Mrs. Cleveland to make such a success—tact, graciousness and queenly manner.

It the Hoovers maybe that really dispense with these _ little amenities without being politically hurt, that he will do such a good job as President that the country wil! be willing to go without a picture of him, but will be well satisfied with the job. Those of the hard political school say not. There are millions of people, they contend, who are not influemced by economic accomplishments or the ab- but at the ballot box are governed by such preju- dices as whether a man has pink ears or parts his hair in the middle. Even the deep, silent man that Presi- dent Coolidge is, it is pointed out. he made a distinct personality of himself And while he was not given to kissing babies, he nevertheless knew a lot of little tricks to do with them. The politicians cvow, too, that Mr. Coolidge was just about the shrewdest politician this country ever knew. In 80 far as these observation plat- form appearances are concerned, and there will be a lot of them with Mr. Hoover traveling as he does, Mrs. Hoover's role is apparently to be more aggressive than that of Mrs. Coolidge. Mrs. Coolidge seldom said anything to the waiting groups, but she had a way of appearing behind Mr. Coolidge and smiling and the crowd would roar its delight. Outwardly, the cheers would be for Mr. Coolidge because he would be standing out in front. It was just such as this that caused some statisticians to figure that Mrs. Coo)l- es obey smile was worth several million vo But Mrs. Hoover does not slip up be- hind that way. Asa matter of fact she svems to conduct the entire observa- tion platform show.

Though the text of the measure made no reference to the Individual consoll- dations pending, all of its terms have intimate association with the series of enterprises now formally launched which look ty the creation of giant rail mergers, some of them planned on a i scale looking to the fusion of fifteen 'or twenty sizable transportation sys- tems in one management unit. Proposals in Northwest. | The latest and perhaps the largest of | these proposals were subtnitted to the | Interstate Commerce Commission only three days ago, one by the Baltimore & | Ohio system, which asked approval for ithe acquisition of nearly 8,000 miles of | additional line, The other consolidation | proposal was submitted by the Van | Sweringen interests, of Cleveland who asked the right to bulld out of rall properties they now control and others they hope to buy a new Eastern trunk line with 14,000 miles of track. Though these projects affect only the Northeastern quarter of the country. there is already awaiting the commis- sion’s final word the provisionally com- pleted merger of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern systems, in the Northwest, whose joint control of the Burlington system, reaching southward to the Mexican gulf, would put 25,000 miles of road in-a’single merger. Senator Fessi report explained that the bill was deBigned to facilitate such unification of rail systems by merger. financial control, or corporate consoli- dation as might be deemed in the pub- lic interest by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The bill repeats the sanc- tion of former statutes even for the consolidation of “parallel and compet- ing railroads,” which was once for- bidden by antitrust legislation. Tax Emption Included. The measure also proposes methods of eatisfying minority stcokholders op- posing consolidations, and it also would direct the Interstate Commerce Come mission to make plans for a general railroad merger. The bill further would extend provisions for tax exemption in security operations undertaken to bring about approved mergers, and generally would seek to facilitate the process advocated. Though Congress extended the first permission for rail consolidation in 1920, only minor mergers of operating lines have taken place in the ensuing nine years. The grouping attempted by O. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen, of | Cleveland, centering around the Chesa- 'peake & Ohio, Erie, and Nicke)] Plate | systems, has been only partially and conditionally approved by the Inter- 'state Commerce Commission, although ithe Chesapeake & Ohio has been given authority to take over the Pere Mar- quette system. The program of L. F. Loree, for merg- ing the Karsas City Southern, Missourt- Kansas-Texas, anc St. Louis Southwest- ‘ern, met with flat rejection from the | commission, as did the proposal of the | Norfolk & Western to lease the Vir- ginian system. The Northern Pacific- Great Northern merger is awaiting a decision, but approval ts not expected by all observers of the proceedings. Only one or two actual mergings of rail systems have been successful in running the gantlet of opposition to obtain a commission approval since 1920, and these practically all amount to the closer unifications of operating units already related by financed and management to each other.

In October, 1918, he was promoted to command the Fifth Army Corps, which occupied the center of the American battle line and crossed the Meuse River the night before the armistice was signed. After the armistice, he com- manded the Fifth and Ninth Army Corps. Returning to the United States, he became commander of the First Di- vision, the Hawaiian Department, the Eighth Corps Area and the Second Corps Area, and was appointed chief of staff by President Coolidge November 21, 1926, on recommendation of Secre- tary of War Davis.

On his right will be desert lands, covered with low scrub, and in case he is forced down here, reaching the beach is his best course. Will go to Vera Cruz. On leaving Tampico, he will follow the Laguna de Tamiahua, coming out on the coast of Tuxpan; thence down the coast to Vera Cruz, following the Laguna Alvarado and out to the coast again until he sights Port of Mexico, when he wil] turn inland, following the Coatzacoalcos River to Minatitlan. The stretch between Tampico and Vera Cruz has some fairly good beaches in case of forced landings, but 30 miles north of Vera Cruz, the mountains approach the sea, eliminating all emergency landings excepting the highly dangerous ones furnished by the jungles or the ocean. From Vera Cruz to Port of Mexico the coast has fair beaches and offers several safe landing places. After Minatitlan, he will have nothing beneath him but tree-cbvered moun- tains and jungle valleys. A few min- utes after taking off, he will cross the Continental Divide, and instead of fly- ing in a straight line to Guatemala City, his course shoots toward San Jose on the Pacific Coast, 75 miles south- west of Guatemala City. The reason for this is that tall mounteins would obstruct his path if he flew in a straight line, among them being the volcanoes Fuego, Agua and Fcaya. As he approaches Guatemala City, Capt. Eaker will nose his ship upward in a steady climb to reach the mile- high airport of that city, sheltered by mountains some of which are 8,000 feet high. Wilderness will stretch below him from Guatemala to. Managua, Nicaragua. He will fly low over San Salvador in salute to the capital o that republic, and thig will be repeat as he passes over San Jose, Costa Rica, on his way from Managua to David, Panama. From David to France Field he will have the shortest and easiest lap of his flight. Color Wilk Aid Plane. Discussin” the black, red and white coloring for Capt. Eaker’s plane, Air Corps officials said this attractive color scheme is to make the -.une easily dis- tinguishable from the air in case he should be compelled to land. In che event, he should be overdue at an. of the above refueling points, immediate search will be started for him by Army observation planes to be stationed at Tampico, Minatitlan and David. Marine Corps fliers will be on the lookout for him at Managua, while the Guatemalan air corps will stand watch at Guate- mala City. Besides a Very pistol for shooting sig- mal flares, Capt.

a Coolidge Quits Presidency With High Claims to Fame; His Achievements Are Many Administration Stands Out for Its Economic Adjustments Aiming to Promote Prosperity; Clash With Congress Frequent and Vetoes Not a Few; Arms Confer- ence Failed, But Kellogg Treaty a Triumph. President Calvin Coolidge will leaye| ating a problem for his successor as to the White House on March 4 confi- dent that his administration has made @ record of accomplishment, both in domestic and international affairs. Critics and friends alike agree that economic readjustments designed to promote the prosperity of the Nation form the outstanding feature of the ad- ministration. Just what the future estimate of ac- tivities toward the promotion of peace and world stability will be is more un- certain. In the view of the President this phase of his work will show results rivelling his domestic achievements. Clashes Often With Congress. The 514 years that Mr. Coolidge has | been in the White House have been | marked by numerous clashes with Con- gress, both over legislation and appoint- ments. The President has met defeat and has been forced to compromise. Radicals in Congress have delighted in | making trouble for him. Early in his administration the scandals inherited from the Harding regime kept things in a turmoil. Despite all this, the Pres- ident’s friends feel confident that the administration will go down in history as one of progress. The economic readjustments have ‘{ncluded the reconstruction of public finances under the leadership of Sec- retary of the Treasury Mellon, the re- duction of expenditures by something like $2,000,000,000 since 1921, three tax reductions on top of one during the Harding administration, the re- funding of Liberty bonds and the fund- of the war debts owed by European nations. Herbert Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce, had a hand in various economic. readjustments, including foreign trade promotion § activities, the working out of unemployment problems, inland waterway -develop- ment, the elimination of industrial waste and reconstruction work follow- .ing the Mississippi flood and other _ disasters. Laws for Economic Needs. Legislation designed to facilitate eco- nomic readjustments which had the support of the administration included the immigration restriction act, th Mississippi flood control act, the alien property act, providing for the return of alien property and the financing of awards to American citizens on claims against Germany, the railroad media- tion act, the White merchant marine act, the McFadden branch banking act and the commercial’ aviation act. Administrative acts of the President contributing toward economic adjust- ments have included changes in duties under the flexible tariff and encourage- ment of financing schemes to aid agri- culture in various sections. . The President has been under fire for failure to approve the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill which was designed to restore prosperity to agriculture. The farm situation is the principal econqm!c problem which Mr. Coolidge will pass on to his successor. As the President goes out of office the Shipping Board will have made un- expected progress toward the sale 5f the Government ships to private interests. one of the matters in which he has been particularly interested. The Presi- dent has tried unsuccessfully to obtain legislation for the leasing of the Muscle Shoals wartime plant, another phase —f his policy of keeping the Government out of business. He has failed to get other legislation which he has repeat- edly recommended, including a Dill dealing with the coal problem, and a bill to encourage railroad consolidation Kellogg Treaty Claim to Fame. In the field of foreign activities, the President is relying upon the Kellogg war renunciation treaty to furnish his chief claim to fame. Despite the skep ticism of many who fear that this treaty will prove futile as a practical means of preventing war, the President believes it will accomplish more in this Girection than any action ever taken by the nations. The President’s success in obtaining approval by the Senate of American participation in the affairs of the World Court was regarded as one of his principal achievements but has been virtually nullified by the refusal of other nations to accept the American reservations. : Other activities of the administration in international affairs have included the adjustment of difficulties with Mexico under the guidance of Ambas- sador Dwight W. Morrow, the restora- tion of order and the setting up of a stable government in Nicaragua and efforts toward the establishment of peace and orderly government in China. ' While refraining from official partici- pation in European affairs the adminis- tration had an unofficial part in the setting up of the Dawes plan and other measures that have helped to put the war ridden countries back on their feet. In his first message to Congress, Mr. Coolidge stated he-regarded the at- aq 94 to put the United States into the League of Nations a closed incident, but it has been his policy to cooperate in some of the league’s activities. Disarm Record Not So Good. The movement toward limitation of armament by leading nations, which was initiated by President Harding, has been continued by President Coolidge with indifferent success. A naval arma- ment conference at Geneva in 1927 re- Sulted in failure. The principal pieces of legislation on which Congress and the President have clashed were the soldiers’ bonus Dill, which was passed over his veto in May, 1924, the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill which he vetoed in February, 1927, and again in May, 1928, the Muscle Shoal’ bill which he killed by a pocket veto in 1928, tax reduction bills in which he met defeat on a number of different items, the Mississippi flood control bill on which he had to accept & compromise and the recent naval cruiser legislation which provided for commencing construction within speci- fied periods despite his insistence that the time clause be eliminated. President Coolidge vetoed many bills and in a number of instances Congress overrode his veto. In a sinvle session he vetoed a total of thirteen bills, eight oc them on a single cay. At practically every session the Presi- dent has had difficulty in obtaining the confirmation of appointments. The re- jection by the Senate of his nomina- tion of Charles B. Warren for Attorney General in March, 1925, was the first adverse action on a Cabinet appoint- ment since 1868. Appointments Rejected by Congress. Other appointments which were re- jected included John J. Esch and Cyrus E. Woods for members of the Interstate Commerce Commission; W. M. Mc- Camant and W. J. Tilson for Federal judges. His nomination of W. L. Cohen, a negro, for collector of custouts at New Orleans, was rejected and ister con- firmed. There were fights over numer- ous other appointees, tncluding the re- cent controversy over Ruy O. West for Secretary of the Interior, Eugene Meyer fo’ head of the Farm Loin Board, Thomas F. Woodlock for member of the Interstate Commetce Commission, end George Christian for niember of the Federe] Trade Commission Presiient Coolidge is given credit for fhopciaving a high grade of diplomats a. “orsign capitals. Dwight Morrow, “rides atior to Mexico- was one of his ne Pg av >ointments. For many . i dlpouatic posts he selected Aes cd ititcn in the service, thereby cre- whether to continue these officials in their places, or make new appoint- ments, as ordinarily has been done by each new President. Mr. Coolidge inherited the Harding Cabinet and made changes only as Va- cancies occurred. Frank B. Kellogg was named as Secretary of State upon the resignation of Charles E. Hughes. Dwight W. Davis was made Secretary of War when John W. Weeks resigned on account of ill health. Curtis D. Wilbur became Secretary of the Navy after Ed- win Denby was forced out of the Cabi- net by exposures of the oil scandals. When Daugherty Went Out. Harlan F. Stone was made Attorney General when Harry Daugherty was compelled to resign because of scandals affecting his office, and John G. Sar- gent later was appointed after Mr. Stone was named a justice of the Su- preme Court... Roy O. West succeeded Hubert Work as Secretary of the In- terior when the latter resigned to man- age the Hoover campaign. William M Jardine was made Secre- tary of Agriculture upon the death of Henry M. Wallace, Howard P. Gore, who had been Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture, serving temporarily for a few months. William F. Whiting became Secretary of Commerce after Herbert Hoover resigned upon being nominated for President. “Only Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, Postmas- ter General Harry New and Secretary of Labor James J, Davis now remain of the Harding Cabinet. During the course of his administra- tion the President reorganized two commissions which had been centers of controversy due to radicals who held over from the Wilson administration. These were the Tariff Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Con- servatives were named to succeed radi- cals on both commissions. Prohibition enforcement furnished trouble for the President on numerous occasions. The Prohibition Bureau was created in the Treasury Department by legislation enacted during the adminis- tration. Several upheavals in personnel | had previously taken place in tlie old prohibition unit of the Internal Reve- nue Bureau. Roy Haynes, a holdover from the Harding administartion and a favorite of the Antisaloon League, lost his post as prohibition commissioner during the reorganization. Fortunate in Politics. The President was fortunate in a po- litical way. He succeeded to the Presi- dency in August, 1923, upon the death of President Harding. “n 1924 he was renominated for the Presidency without a serious convention contest. While the La Follette third party ticket pre- sented complications in the 1924 elec- tion, Mr. Coolidge won overwhelmingly. If he had chosen to seek a third term he unquestionably could have been nominated without difficulty. The third term issue would have been raised against him in the election and just what the outcome might have been is e Matter of speculation. That the third term issue would have figured prominently in the campaign was evident from the action of the Senate in adopting a resolution de- claring against a third presidential term. When Mr. Coolidge became President the radicals held the balance of power in both houses of Congress. Accord- ingly he encountered difficulties in ob- taining approval of his legislative rec- ommendations during the winter of 1923-24. In the 1924 revenue a t Con- gress incorporated a provision for pub- licity of amounts paid by taxpayers for income taxes, which was objectionable to the President, and also refused to reduce surtaxes to the extent favored by him and by Secretary Mellon. Victorious on Tax Issue. The tax issue was fought out in the 1924 campaign, and the Coolidge vic- tory of that year placed the President in a better position in the Congress which began its life on March 4, 1925, and convened in December of that year The radicals were dislodged from the balance of power, and in the 1926 rev- enue act the tax publicity provision was repealed and surtaxes and estate taxes were further reduced and the gifr tax repealed. In the off year congressional elections of 1926 the Democrats made gains and the radicals again obtained the balance of power in the Senate, although not in the House. Consequently the President found it more difficult to get action on his legislative proposals during the con- gressional sessions of 1927-1928 and 1928-1929. Mr. Coolidge’s successor will commence his term with the radicals again dislodged from the balance of power, re a DOROTHY | : yyy TANLE ) P Street Girl Strong as Boy “Dorothy was a very delicate child and was fretful, nervous and feverish,’’ says Mrs. R. P. Chandler, 1107 P Street N.W. ‘‘She had con- stipation and she got so the little I could force her to eat wouldn't ever digest. She got badly under- weight. sallow and weak. “Then I decided to try California Fig Syrup, and the results sur- prised me. Her bowels started working immediately, and in little or no time she was eating so she got to be a pest at the table, always asking us to pass things. Her weight increased, her color im- proved and she began to romp and play again like other children. Now she’s the picture of health, and strong as a boy.”’ Pleasant-tasting, purely vege- table California Fig Syrup acts surely and quickly to cleanse your child’s stomach and bowels of the souring waste that is keeping him half-sick, bilious, sallow, feverish, listless, weak and puny. But it’s more than a laxative. It tones and strengthens the stomach and bowels so these organs continue to act naturally, of their own acaord. Over four million bottles used a vear shows its popularity. Ask for it by the full name, “California Fig Syrup.’’ so you'll get the cenuine, endorsed by physicians for 50 years.

Geneva, Feb. 23 (N.Y.W.N.S8.)—An- other heavy agenda, which runs the entire gamut of economic, social, intel- lectual, legal and political questions— more than half of which are of vital importance to the United States and other nonmember nations, will con- front the League Council at its first session of 1929, when it assembles on March 4, next. Advance copies of the provisional agenda, already available, indicate that there will be at least 30 questions be- fore the council, many of which are of major importance. Bolivia and Paraguay, whose con- ‘troversy as yet is unsettled by the Pan- American conference’s intervention, will occupy a large part of the Council's “sub-rosa” discussions. The question does not eVen appear upon the offi- cial agenda at the moment, but For- eign Minister Briand’s report is indis- ensable. There is no disposiiton to et the matter drop at Geneva, unless a satisfactory solution is reached by the Pan-American conference arbi- tration machinery, but nothing will be done to complicate matters if progress ig being made. If a stalemate appears possible it may be that the council will approve Briand’s thesis that all agencies in- terested in the maintenance of peace act jointly to preserve it. His informal invitation, made at Paris after the Lugano council meeting was that thé United States, Brazil and the Pan-American Conference act jointly with the league—to which both Paraguay and Bolivia are pledged through their Treaty signatures—in finding a solution. The decision of the council, which obviously will be closely guarded, on the South American sore spot will be one of the most interest- ing and far-reaching developments of the March session. Obviously it is of major interest to Washington. Potentialities Plentiful. Minorities — precipitated on the League at Lugano by the joint action or Senator Raoul Dandurand. Canada, and Foreign Minister Stresemann, of Germany—will give the council much to think about. The subject is in the hands of M. Adatchi, Japanese member, for consideration, and is replete with potentialities. There is every indication that Strese- mann, who notified the league that hia item should be inscribed as “the League of Nations guarantee for the provisions relating to the protection of minorities,” will call for a showdown as to whether the league can take steps to enforce the minorities obliga- tions undertaken in the postwar treaties. Should it be cecided that the league has power to enforce these guarantees it is evident that a perma- nent minorities commission, similar to the permanent mandates commission and the general board, which deals with the illicit narcotic trafliic, may have to be created. Then there appears the opium and narcotic questions. The general board —an organization of eight members, none of whom are responsible to any government or the league—has asked another three months to perfect sts organization, while the ieague’s ad- visory opium commission has prepared fo~ the consideration of the council a startling report which indicates the seriousness of the aarcotic menace facing the world. W*th Herbert May, of Pittsburgh, Pa., a member of the general board, and Col. Arthur Woods, former police commissioner of New York, an assessor, and John Kenneth Caldwell, of the State Department, and Vice Consul Stanley Woodward. unoffi- clal members of the commission, and Senator Dandurand, of Canada, official council rapporteur on the question, the interest of North America in the problem *s considerable. U. S. Profitable Field. Furthermore, with the possible ex- ception of the Far East, the United States is the most owrofitable field for the illicit traffickers who yearly boot- leg millions of dollars’ worth of nar- cotics into America. At the moment the Geneva Narcotic Convention, which the United States refused to sign, ts on trial. It is for the council to decide whether it is going to be efficacious or whether a new deal all around is going to be necessary in order to stamp out the nefarious traffic. In connection with the opium ques- tion also is the decision as to when, and by whom, the league’s investigation into opium smoking in the Far East is rangements are satisfactory the coun- cil may appoint the commission at the present session. Since Washington has authorized the league’s investigators to probe the situation in the Philippines it is possible an American may be ap- pointed—unofficlally—to participate in the inquiry.

The council probably will author-— ize the convening of the initial confers ence before the end of the year. Take Up Counterfeiting. An international conference for deale ing with counterfeiting also is sched- uled for April 9 and the council must complete preparatio . including the appointing of a president. Washington, having cooperated in the preliminary work on this subject, will be represented by a plenary delegation, appointed by the sident on ths recommendation of the Treasury De partment. Another subject of interest to Wasti- ington is disarmament. The pre tory committee meets again in Ap but the council will have to decid whether or not it will be possible : hold an international conference tp present year as demanded by the last assembly. f the prospects are not bright, the money voted by the as- sembly will be devoted to financing ‘Be codification of international law ference, which otherwise would have to await action by the September as- sembly. } The recommendations of the nell 5 nomic committes also will come before — the assembly. Of chief interest is the international inquiry into the world- wide coal and sugar situations and = | work of the commis se of . study the desirability of mot trusts or cartels. An American has been earmarked for both the perine oe and sugar committees. The conven a adopted by the recent international ~— conference on economic statistics, which was signed by the American delegation, also will come before the council for review. Hungarians Add to Probiems, Altogether, about a dozen minorities, petitions will again appear, = pa mandates commission report will volye many minor questions. The ude garians, likewise. ve again added their quota to the council's difficul- ties and probably will have two new “optants” problems to replace the Roumanian-Hungarian. Singularly, the Hapsburgs, whose properties in many ogy 9g were confiscated, are preparing — their case before the league. Te un- garian government in its request that the council persuade Jugoslavia to conform to alleged treaty obligations, is in reality sponsoring the claims of Archduke Albrecht Frederich, a pre-e tender to the Hungarian throne, who has vast property claims against Jugo- slavia. Routine questions include the &p- pointment of members for the goverme ing body of the International Educa- tional Cinematographic Institute, & successor to M. Leopoldo Lugones on the committee of intellectual coopera- tion, the annual report of the Saar Basin governing committee and similar matters. (Copyright. 1929.) YOUR INCOME TAX Deductions for depreciation form an important item in the returns of many taxpayers and are the subject of fre- quent inquiry. The revenue act of 1928 provides ‘‘a reasonable allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear of property used in the trade or business, including a reasonable allowance for obsoles- cence.” For convenience, such allow- ance usually is referred to by regula- tions relating to the income tax as de- preciation. In claiming a deduction for deprecia- tion several fundamental principles must be observed. The deduction must be confined to property actually used in the trade, business, profession, or vo- c.tion. In general, it applies to the taxpayer’s capital assets—buildings, machinery, etc.—the cost of which can not be deducted as a business expense. A building or machinery gradually be- comes old and worn out. On account of this depreciation the value of such assets is decreased. oss fe thereby sustained for which the taxpayer is en- titled to recognition in making his ree turn of income.

Fifer A. M. Bates, the veteran musi- cian, has been marching four hours at the crack of dawn each day to get himself into shape for the presidential inaugural parade. He will accompany the Topeka Drum Corps to the Capital, ana the sidewalks of Washington will reverberate with such selections as Vice President-elect Curtis’ home- townsmen will “drum” nim into office —an old habit of theirs since they “drummed” him in as Shawnee County attorney back in 1884. “Charlie Curtis needs me in Washing- ton,” Mr. Bates told comrades in the Colorado Old Soldiers Home recently. “My old fife has made music for him in many Kansas elections and !ts voice is sweeter now than ever.” The members of th@ corps who plan to make the trip are sons or grandsons of Civil War veterans. The organiza- tion will leave Topeka next Friday. so Spreadi Complete Units Now Are Established in Thir- teen Counties.

They have just been advised that Allegheny County has created a com- plete public welfare unit. The board of that county has made an appropria- tion for the employment of a county supervisor of public welfare, which will complete the unit. Other counties with complete units . are Arlington, Albemarle, Augusta, Frederick, Rockbridge, Roanoke, South Hampton, Norfolk, Wise, Goochland, Loudoun and Tazewell. These units are under the direction of the bureau of other advantages which had been ac- corded to her. As she left the train at Union Station yesterday morning ashe said: “Home again, after two long weeks, @ crowded with events that they have seemed like a month. And even though they may seem like the two longest weeks in my life, I know they will always be the happiest. “Twenty-five girls, representing every type of the real American girl—the college girl, the school teacher, the de- partment store employe, the office girl, the flapper, a minister’s daughter, an orphan, a girl half Indian—and every one of them refined, intelligent and proud to call each other friend. Surely, Mary Pickford, ‘America’s Sweetheart,’ could have chosen no better why to show her gratitude for fame tMan to take 25 girls across the continent, State after State, straight to Holly- wood land, where the dreams she dreamed and the one big dream of those girls came true. “As long as I live, I'll never forget it, nor cease talking about it. It has been an inspiration, a turning point in my life. Words are futile when it comes to expressing my gratitude to The Washington Post for holding the contest and to Mary Pickford, the origi- nator.

Baltimore, Feb. 23 (N.Y.W.NS.).— Preliminary results of the study of the common cold, being made by Dr. James Doull and other Johns Hopkins Uni- versity scientists at the school of hy- _ giene, fail to show any immunity from the malady. Dr. Doull studied the cases of 181 medical student volunteers in October and November, 1928. The observations and germ tests continue. According to those making the study, there appears to be no evidence of any association between frequency of colds and defects of the nose and throat. It was found, however, that limited . Breathing space affects the duration of the coyza. Of 87 men having good athing épace, only 15 per cent had ds persisting longer than ten days: 23 who had poor breathing space, per cent were compelled to endure malady longer than ten days. asal obstruction and discharge were frequent in the colds or infections January and December than those of @ October-November period, lane to Hunt Boy, $ Kidnaped, in Desert 2 RUG FREE ee PS a | at - a ~?

The passing of individualism as 4 piiilosophy and the det elopment in its stead of a spirit of cooperative effort Everett Hall, Edward F am G. H in all fields of enterprise was hailed as & a eign of the times in an address last; night by Frank M. Totten, of the Chase |! National Bank, national president of the American Institute of Banking, | before the twenty-fifth annual ban-'| quet of the Washington Chapter of the institute at the Willard Hotel The banquet, largest tn the history of the chapter, was attended by some) 827 junior Washington bankers and their guests, including such notables as Roy A.

Hoxton, chairman and Federal Reserve agent! ! of the Fifth Federal Reserve District. @mbracing Washington. Extolling the accomplishments of the)! institute as illustrative of the advant- | ages of cooperative effort as opposed to individualism, Totten, in the principal | address, declared that man must learn | to subordinate self in the interest of “team play.” Individual success, he! @sserted, means nothing, holding all! that matters in the long run is “group contribution to the upbuilding of the race.” Totten was introduced by James A | Soper, president of the chapter, who! @lso presented Wilmer J. Waller, vice | resident of the District of Columbia ankers Association, and Victor B. Devber, secretary of the Washington | Clearing House Association. They ex- tended the greetings of their organiza- tions. Deyber cited Soper’s recent ele- vation to the vice presidency of the! Lincoln National Bank as a tribute to| the work of the chapter. and seme § that eleven local graduates of the insti- tute have been made bank officers in | the year. An elaborate program of entert sin- |? meni was presented, under stewardship of Frank M. Perley.

Dancing followed. Among the unscheduled features was | the presentation of a gold watch to I. | J. Roberts, past president of the chap- ter, as a tribute to his long service in its interest. -President Soper. in pre- | senting the gift on behalf of the chap- ter, eulogized Roberts as probably the Outstending president of the chapter in ell of its history.

It also passed laws creating the three executive de- partments, which have gradually been increased to the present ten. Harding's Record. The 21 special sessions have been held in. twenty different Congresses. Harding set a record by calling two special sessions of the Sixcvy-seventh Congress, in addition to the two regular sessions. The first one enacted the Fordney-McCumber tariff law. .and in the second Senator La Follette and a group of insurgents blocked the ship subsidy proposal] of the administration. Of the recent Presidents, only Roose- velt and Coolidge called no special ses- sions. The administrations of each have been marked by notable conflicts with the legisl@tive departments. Special sessions are usually called to meet in March or in April following inauguration. McKinley, succeeding the Democratic Cleveland regime, called Congress to meet March 15, 1897, and that body enacted the famous Dingley protective tariff. Taft called a special session to pass the Payne-Aldrich tariff, which increased “protection” still further. A second Taft special session was called to deal with proposed Cana- dian reciprocity, but it failed to accom- plish its intended purpose. Extras Called by Wilson. The United States entered the World War during a special session called by Woodrow Wilson to meet April 2, 1917 It adjourned in October. In the next regular session Republicans filibusters prevented ge of several essential appropriation bills, and Wilson had to call another session in 1919. This ses- sion saw the death of Wilson’s Versa- illes treaty ratification, and the adop- tion of the woman suffrage amendment of the Constitution. Congress operates during specia! ses- sions under the same rules as during reguiar sessions. The President by proclamation, emphasizes the subjects upon which legislation is desired, but this in no way binds Congress which, once in session, may do what it pleases.

CANADA-CUBA FLIGHT MADE BY HALDEMAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE lI. flight passed Cincinnati. Atlanta, Tam- pa at 1:12 p. m., and Key West at 3:35 p.m; His charted course of 1,404 miles was flown in 12 hours and 56 minutes. There remained in his Bellanca plane: enough fuel to have carried him an- other 125 miles. Haldeman succeeded where Leonard F:>, of Ann Arbor, Mich.. twice failed, once because of fog and once because of illness. Haldeman, who was pilot for Ruth Elder in her unsuccessful attempt to crogs the Atlantic, showed no sign of fatigue from his long flight. He said that the trip had been un- eventful. with exccllent flying condl- tions throughout. A favorable tall wind on the last 800 miles enabled him to increase his speed. His landing here was made perfectly before the newspa- per men and aviators of the Cuban army, who had awaited his arrival. The flight was over before many of the Havana afternoon papers were on the streets and therefore the general public was unaware that a new endur- ance airplane flight was in the making. The aviator extended his flight to Cuba as a “sporting venture” when business called him to several Florida cities. Unless Haldeman decides to accept an invitation to fly to Santiago de Cuba tomorrow for a visit he will take off for St. Petersburg, Fla., at about mid- day. He remarked that his plane on landing had “enough gas to take us back to St. Petersburg tonight if we haa thought of it in time.” Eighty of the original 252 gallons were still in the ship’s tanks. James R. Cormack trade commis- sioner of Canada, was among those who congratulated the filer here on his flight. Haldeman would be unable in any case to pay a long visit here, for within a fortnight he is scheduled to start a flight to Argentina to deliver a plane to the government. Leviathan Mail Thief Believed in Budapest Budapest, Feb. 22 (A.P.).—Hungarlan police are searching the city for a man suspected in connection with the mail robbery on the steamship Leviathan last August, who ts believed to be hid- ing here. (A quantity of negotiable bonds was stolen from the mail consignment of the Leviathan. Attempt to sell some of the loot later in Vienna resulted in the arrest of one man. Another, arrested in Belgium, was released when Vienna au- thorities failed to press charges against him. He has since been sought in sev- eral European countries.) WOMAN SHOT AND BODY FIRED; POLICE HUNT MAN IN BLUE CAR CONTINUED FROM PAGE l. saw a blue Chevrolet coupe with the lignts on standing at the roadside about 1,000 yards from the place where the woman’s body was later found by Boyle. Feared Holdup, Drove On. As he drew near, he told police, he saw some one—he could not be sure whether it was a man or a woman— standing beside the car, and fearing a holdup he stepped on the gas and drove rapidly by. As he passed the car, which bore a New Jersey license, the person who had been in the road seemed to have dis- appeared, but he was able to make out someone, possibly a woman, sitting in the car and making frantic signals to him. He hurried on, and took the turn by Wilisie’s Half-acre, passing directly by the spot where the woman's body was burning ten minutes later. There was nothing there then—of that he is cer- tain. The body was still warm when the police reached it and put out the flames. The woman had reddish-brown hair, turning gray, was 5 feet & inches tall, weighed about 140 pounds and was about 45 years old. The woman was dressed simply, in a cheap black dress of outmoded design with an embroidered bodice fringe of black fur on the skirt. Her coat was an old one of black velour. Her stockings were flesh-colored silk. Her hat, of which only a few charred fragments remained, was of gold meta! cloth. Her underwear was of cotton. Not a thing she wore was marked, and no personal effects were found. Jewelry and Clothes Cheap. Only her shoes and the jewelry she wore will be of any help to the police in finding out who she was and how she came to be shot and set afire at the lonely road junction. The shoes, cheap patent-leather pumps, had been repaired. The cob- bler, in mending the heel of the left shoe, used a bent piece of metal, and the cobbler who did the job Is being sought. On the ring finger of her left hand she wore three rings. One is a one-half carat diamond set in white gold, one is an imitation diamond set in silver and the third is a narrow band of white gold. About this third riug there ts some doubt in the minds of the police and Assistant Prosecutor John B. Walsh, of Elizabeth County, who has charge of the county’s investigation of the murder. At first it was thought to be @ wedding ring, but the authorities to-~ night were inclined to think it more likely, from its shape, that it is a guard ring, used to prevent the other two rings from falling off the finger. She also wore a three-strand metal necklace and a pair of cheap rhine- stone earrings. An autopsy performed by Dr. George W. Horre, assistant county physician at Martin’s Morgue in Elizabeth, showed that the woman had been shot in the center of the top of the head with a 3823-cailber automatic. The bullet had and a'‘ derer must have dragged the woman from the car, thrown her to the ground, shot her as she lay prone tn the edge of the snow, hdsily dumped gasoline on her head and shoulders. applied a match and drove away. A single un- lighted blue-tipped wooden match vas found beneath the woman's head. As soon as Denner had told his story, an alarm for the blue coupe was sent out through New Jersey and the east- ern part of Pennsylvania. Several per- sons in Plainfield, eight miles from the scene of the crime, reported to Chief of Police James E. Hennessey in Cran- ford, that they had seen a Chevrolet coupe, driven by a man in shirtsleeves, passing through Plainfield in the dil- rection of Dunellen, about 6 o'clock. They had noticed the car especially because, despite the frigid weather, the man at the wheel was in his shirt- sleeves. Police, scenting the possibility that the murderer might have found blood on his coat and thrown It off, set out on the trail of this car, but it was not seen again. Similar te Brown Case. The striking similarity hetween this murder and that of Miss Brown has given police the theory that they may have been committed by the same man. Joseph Hanlon, county detective of Somerset County, who was called. in to help, ig one who believes this ils pos- eible. In each case a lonely stretch of road | was selected and the woman left to burn in the snow. In each Case, the murdered woman's pocketbook was taken away by the murderer. Prosecutor Walsh 1s of the opinion that the woman came from Newark or from New York. “If she had come from Elizabeth or Cranston or any other town in this district,” he said, “her dis- appearance would have been noticed and reported before now. But no dis- appearances of women have been re- ported.” Perfect Teeth (2) health depends to a large extent on keeping: your teeth in perfect condition.

FREIOT | NEW FLYING FEAT| | SENATE APPROVES WINSLOW INQUIKY Bill Empowering House Group to Weigh Charges Sent to President. IS BACKED BY LAGUARDIA j (Associated Press.) Congressional action on the resolu- tion providing for an investigation into the charges of judicial misconduct against Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow, southern district of New York, was concluded yesterday with the Sen- ate’s passage of the Graham resolution. The resolution now goes to the Presi- dent. The measure would set up a8 special investigating subcommittee of the House judiciary committee to inquire into the charges brought against Judge Winslow in an original resolution introduced by Representa- tive LaGuardia (Republican), New York. Representatives Dyer, Missouri; Chris- topherson, South Dakota; Hickey, In- diana, and Stobbs, Massachusetts, Re- publicans; and Sumners, Texas; Monta- gue, Virginia, and Dominick, South Carolina, Democrats, would compose the subcommittee. They would be empowered to sub- pena witnesses, conduct the inves- tigation either in Washington or New York, and sit through the recess of Congress after March 4. LaGuardia brought up the charges of judicial improperties itn a House resolution asking that the judiciary committee investigate the allegations. The committee referred the matter to the Department of Justice and asked that the Attorney General appoint some one to make a preliminary inves- tigation upon which the committee might base its report to the House. It was said the Attorney General did not look with favor upon the investi- gation by his department, and the committee withdrew its request, offer- ing to the House the substitute resolu- tion giving the House investigating group fuller authority in the inquiry ee ee - 1,000 JOGLESS MEET IN LONDON TODAY Leaders to ‘sk Hearing of Baldwin Following Demonstration. LONG MARCH IS ENDED London, Feb. 23 (U.P.).—The plight of the British unemployed will be brought to the attention of Londoners and the government tomorrow with s mass demonstration in Trafalgar Square by more than a thousand per- sons out of work. Eight hundred unemployed men were resting at five towns on London’s out- skirts tonight preparatory to the march to Trafalgar. They completed a trek from distant points Friday, persisting through the recent cold wave to lay their petition before Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. The march began January 22. Other hundreds made ready tonight to march to the outskirts and join the arrivals. The unemployed then will scatter to ten points and complete the trek to Trafalgar. Immediately after the Trafalgar dem- onstration, leaders will present Baldwin a parchment petition asking an inter- view Tuesday, at which they will air their grievances. The march of the unemployed, particularly its last day, and attendant demonstration and the Prince of Wales’ visit a few weeks ago to northern England coal areas, have served to focus English minds strongly on the situation. The British trades union congress is not sponsoring the march of the un- employed, but the fact that radical leaders were able to persuade hundreds to join it is considered indicative of the |' underlying tone of unrest in the coun- try.

Chittenden. “And on the tree stump where they, Skinned the grizzly bear was where my companion left my pistol. I wish I had it now as a souvenir of those days.” With these words has George B. Chittenden, of the Argonne Apart- ments, often completed one of the narratives of his early adventures jas @ member of the first Geological Survey party in the wild and woolly West to his children and grandchildren. For 55 years he has bewaliled the loss of a pistol which was presented to him when he left the Coast Survey to go on the first expedition of the then newly formed Geological Survey and which was left on the stump of a tree in Colorado by a friend who forgot it in the excitement of skinning a grizzly bear. Several days ago, the pistol was re- turned to him by a guide who had found the pistol in 1912 while hunting in Colorado. But let Mr. Chittenden tell the story, just as he has recounted it many times to while away the evening for his children and friends. Was Student at Yale. “When I left Yale in 1871, after a course in the scientific school, I was given a position with the Coast Survey and for two years worked on the survey of New Haven harbor. About this time the Geological Survey was created and when the first appropriati¢h was made available in the spring of 1873, the survey took on several young men from Yale, Harvard and Princeton to a- company an expedition into the Elk Mountains to make special study of that high range in Colorado. “I was one of those young men. My associates on the Coast Survey present- ed me with a pistol which had my name engraved on the side to use in my ad- venture in the wild and woolly West,” With his companions, Mr. Chittenden was camped in ac iyon well up the base of the mountairs. One morning they cl nbed Sopers Peak, then thought the highest in the Rocky Mountain chain. Toward evening the several ad- venturers returned to their camp, each going his own way. By evening all had returned except William H. Holmes, who is now curator the art museum of the Smithsonian Institution. No alarm was felt at his absence as he had gone by a much longer route, and the party fell to preparing supper. While they were eating, they heard a shot some distance off, and as was the custom, they fired several shots in the air to tell the missing wayfarer the location of camp. Holmes hurried tnto camp shortly after that, and the camp- ers began guying him -. losing his way. Killed Grizzly With One Shot. Holmes laughed at them and toid them: “If you will go up there where I fired the shot you will find the big- grizzly ar you ever saw.” He had been walking toward camp when he approached a giant tree trunk which had fallen to the ground. He could barely peer over the edge. Hear- ing a noise on the other side he'thought it one of his fellow campers and looked over. As he placed his hands on the log to steady himself he found himself face to face with a gigantic grizzly bear. Raisin- his rifle he fired into the beast’s chest, killing the bear with one shot. This was the shot heard by the campers. _ The next morning the explorers want- ed to go out and see the grizzly and secure its skin. Mr. Chittenden did net accompany the expedition. but loaned his pistol to one of the men. That day camp was moved about 25 miles away. Toward evening the man who had borrowed the pistol remem- bered that he had left it on the log while helping to skin the bear. The distance was far to return for so smull a thing as a pistol, 60 he left the pis- me I me Rocky Peaks 55 Years Returned to Qwner © » Se ee anata ae OP hoo ean kas mS es ro Louis Johrden, Post Staff Photographer.

Most of their equipment had to be packed in and several natives were ob- tained to handle the packing of the property. One of these packers ‘earned that Jackson had been a member of the Geological Survey and asked him if he knew a man nemed Chittenden. The photographer replied that he had passed several weeks at Mr. Chitten- den’s summer home at East River, Conn. How Pistol Was Found. “My brother and I were camping on the headwaters of the Roaring Fork In 1912,” the packer explained, ‘‘and lying on a log we found a nickel-plated .44 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, with Chittenden’s name and the date, 1873, engraved on it, and we have wanted to return it to its rightful owner.” Jackson told Mr. Chittenden of the discovery, and after some correspond- ence Henry K. Hutchins, of Ragged Mount, Colo., the guide, returned the pistol to him. Delightedly Mr. Chittenden showed the treasure to his children as f that he had not been spoofi hem about the grizzly bear story. e old pistol, which was in very good condi- tion, considering its 38 years of exX- posture to wind and weather, brought back many memories. The Rocky Mountain Club has asked him to donate the pistol to its museum as an example of the rare climate of that region. The wooden butt had rotted away, but the steel of the pistol was in fairly good condition and it still will stand shooting. Mr. Chitten- den @eays he probably will present the istol to the museum now that he has ad a chance to vindicate his adven- ture tale. Reunion in Washipgton. Recently the five surviving members of the first Geological Survey expedition held a reunion in Washington and re- counted to each other their adventures since those happy days when they were young. Mr. Chittenden, Mr. Jackson. Storey B. Ladd, who has just sailed far Persia on another trip of adventure, and F. D. Owen are the only ones left as far as they could find out. Holmes, Ladd and Chittenden for many years had their apartment in the Balm and Life Building, at Ninth and H streets northwest, and the bear skin was stretched on the floor all winter long. Mr. Chittenden, who is now 79 years old, appears hale and hearty for his age and as he recounts the story that far- away look that only adventurers heve in their eyes shines forth. Ten years ago he left Washington to live at his @noestral home in East River, which has been in his family since the first to] there. William H.

Virginia Assembly, conducted his opere- tion for the capture of Vincennes from his western base, Kaskaskia, on the Mississipp! River in Illinois, established | the summer before, with some 150 mien and officers. He trekked across the Illinois prairies for 240 miles under ths most adverse weather and ground con- ditions. The most of the journey was made in freezing tem »eratures, snow and in water | oftentimes up to the neck of the sol- diers. But nothing daunted the in-'| trepid frontiersman; -:e set out to take! Vincennes at a time when he felt that the garrison at Sackville, under com- mand of Lieut. Gov. Hamilton, of De- troit, least expected him. The hardy band left Kaskaskia on the 5th of February in a driving storm with the blessing of the French priest, Father Gibault, on its banners. What happened after that is told graphically and almost heart renderingly by Clark in his “Memoirs.” Finds River Swollen. When the tiny army came to the Little Wabash that stream was found to be out of its banks. Clark surveyed it apprehensively then sent scouts for- ward into the watery wastes beyond it to see if they could find high land. They were instructed to bring back a favorable reply whether they did so or not! The scouts, however, were suc- | cessful and reported within the day of | the discovery of about a half acre of high, dry ground some distance beyond the river to which they blazed a tree trail on their return. Across the Little /abash the men be- came jubilant. They seemed to think that they would before long be on their way to Detroit! They were in high spirits. Vincennes was not far distant The boom of the evening sun at Sackville could be heard as they lay around their camp fires, drying their clothes laughing at the exploit of their little 14-year-old drummer boy swim- mung the high water on his drum. But worse was yet to come. The last few miles were to old more terrors and hardships for the soldiers than all of those behind. They were low on provi- sions and the Willing, a Mississippi flat boat, fitted out at Kaskaskia by Clark as @ gunboat and supply ship to come by way of the Mississippi, the Ohio and tLe Wabash for the final drive, had been detained from reaching them by water. situation was now desperate.

The last day’s march was the most according to Clark. again encountered, freezing wea and ice along the edges of great pools. On a return ioe "in "the to his famished and exhausted troops from an expedition into these waters Clark says, “I returned but slowly to the troops—giving myself time to think. On our arrival, all ran to hear what was the report. fixed on me. “I unfortunately spoke 1n a serious manner to one of the Officers; the whole were alarmed without knowing what I said. I viewed their confusion for about one minute—whispered to those near me to do as I did—imme- diately put some water in my hand, Every eye was | poured on powder, blackened my face, gave the warwhoop and marched into ‘the water without saying a word. The party gazed and fell in, one after an- other, without saying a word, like a flock of sheep.” Fires were built by those who by sheer endurance and native strength survived the ghastly crossing unaf- fected. The weaker ones were taken in hand by the stronger, Col. Clark himself participating, ran and beat back to life by hands. But this would have availed nothing if, as Clark says, ‘by design of Providence, a canoe con- taining Indian sqyaws and children carrying about half a quarter of buf- falo, corn and tallow to the fort, had hot at the moment come along. The canoe was captured and in the kettles aboard a broth was made for the weak- ened men. Thus heartened. the men were ready for the last thrust. The little army was now favored with a spell of fine weather. It was “moist and warm for the season,” with ice from one-haJf to three-quarters of an inch thick near the shores. The morning Clark declares “the finest we had on our whole march.” But water y-endless sheets of it—still lay in front, though all could see some two miles away the fort to be attacked and invested. Clark ordered his men forward and gave instructions to the advance guard to shout back over thir shoulders from time to time, “Land! Land!” Some low ridges facing the fort must be gained. Plunge Into Icy Water. The ruse had its desired effect. The starved men gritted their teeth a lit- tle harder, called up a little more of the superhuman within them, and plunged in. The water got deeper in- stead of shallower. The men fell away as they approached the copse covering the near side of the ridges. Water was up to the neck of the six-footers. Too weak to withstand the cold, too fam- ished to buffet the icy waters encas- ing them, many of the men gave way to the elements and hung faintly to anything they could get hold of—logs, wees, bushes, branches. The canoes picked up some. the strong gathered up others or pulled them from the water engulfing them, exhausted and spent to their last ounce of strength. Once amid the ridges, Clark hit upon the strategem of making Hamilton think he had ea larger force with him than otherwise, by tying the numerous banners of his force to long poles and countermarching between the ridges. The strategem had the effect of making it appear that severe] thousand men were in the attacking perty. That night—the 28d—Clark sent out two rifle parties to fire on the fort from various pointa around it. He then demanded of Hamilton an un- conditional surrender.

Johnson, flying alone as he did February 14, in the special altitude plane at Wright Field, was forced down today by @ dense haze tlt obscured the. earth. He encountered the haze at 26,000 feet and soared through it to 30,000 feet, where he found it so dense that visibility was too greatly impaired He landed at 1:10 p. m. and announced that he would try again as soon 4&5 weather conditions appeared favorable Engine trouble forced Johnson down, February 14, a short time after he set out to beat high flying records. Two days before that, he and Capt. E. W.

Pittsburgh, Sunday, Feb. 24 (A-P.).— For. the first time in the history of radio broadcasting, a message direct from the Antarctic was given to the radio audience of th® world early today. After establishing two-way radio com- munication with the Byrd Anterctic ex- yedition, radio station KDKA here picked up a message in code, sent by Commander Richard E. Byrd, rebroad- cast the original] signals and then radio- cast an English translation of the wire- less’ “‘too-ta-too-too-ta-too.” The rebroadcast followed a special program put on the air by KDKA, each week for the Byrd expedition and for the people of the far North. Comman- der Byrd, in his message addressed to George Wendt, Canadian Westinghouse Co., Montreal, Canada, sald that “we have been having 24 hours of daylight since arrival, but in a few days now the sun will sink below the horizon and in anoer two months total darkness will set in. “This is going to be the most trying period of our stay down here. We are all looking forward in anticipation to the continuance of your weekly broad- casts with all hands grouped around the loud speaker listening to the voice of KDKA,. You can’t imagine how much thig is going to help us over the rough spots of the long winter night. “Best wishes to all our friends at home.” Stone Mountain’s Owner Makes Bid S, H. Venable Offers More Time for Memorial to Lee and South. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23 (A.P.)—Samuel H. Venable, one of the owners of Stone Mountain, issued a statement here to- day offering to extend the time speci- fied for completion of the Stone Moun- tain Confederate Monumental Associa- tion’s proposed monument if the or- ganization would guarantee fulfillment of certain conditions in the original deed. Mr. Venable recently filed suit for recovery of the site deeded for the me- morial, charging that the association had failed to complete the carving within the stipulated twelve-year pe- riod and had violated other clauses in their agreement Today he explained he proposed the settlement “that the work might be rehabilitated and reju- venated and a permanent memorial completed without unnecessary delay.” In his offer Mr. Venable said “All questions as to who shall be the sculp- tor are eliminated as we do not care who carves the monument, providing the conditions are complied with.” He previously had urged the reemployment of Gutzon Borglum, original sculptor, succeeded by Augustus Lukeman. “were not disposed to be awed into action unworthy of British subjects.” Upon receipt of this message Clark in- formed Hamilton that he would resume his attack the following morning and that his men were eager to begin the storming of the fort. This caused | Hamilton to ask for a three days’ truce) in which to discuss terms. This Clark refused, but he did agree to a parley. This was held the morning of the 24th at the little church within Vincennes, about 80 yards from the fort. Here again Hamilton refused an uncondi- tional surrender. Clark then informed him that the blood about to be shed would be upon his head. Hamilton wavered, asking Clark why he de- manded nothing but an unconditional surrender. Clark explained that it was because there were Britishers within the fort who were Indian partisans, given to the incitement of Indian atrocities against the Americans in the Mississippi Valley from Detroit down to Kaskaskia and Vincennes. He wished to treat them as prisoners at his dis- cretion. Useless to resist, Hamilton surren- dered, acceding to Clark’s terms. He could not hold a fort against sharp- shooters so unerring with rifle fire as t shoot men down through cannon embrasures as fast as a face appeared there ready to man a gun. More than one British soldier died the 23d with a bullet between his eyes. No American Blood Shed. Immediately after the surrender the British flag was hauled down and the American flag flung to the breeze. It was @ bloodless contest, from the Amer- ican standpoint. On the 25th Clark occupied the fort, giving the British time to arrange their effects. Hamilton was sent to Virginia in arms. The Northwest had become a national fact. Five States had been added to the struggling republic, Some time this year the Federal Gov- ernment and the State of Indiana will complete a memorial to Clark at Vin- cennes, building it on land where 150 years ago stood Fort Sackville, facing the Wabash River.

M SS ~~ TARIFE'S FREE LIST INQUIRY I$ CLOSED Administrative Clauses Slated for Perusal This Week by House Committee. RATE ON PAPER DEBATED (Associated Press.) Approaching the end of its exhaustive study of the rate sections of the tariff law, the House ways and means com- mittee called its last witnesses late yes- terday to wind up its hearings on revi- sion of the free list. Only the administrative provisions remained to be taken up after the free list, and these will be tackled this week, probably the entire week being devoted to their consideration. Canada figured largely in yesterday's testimony, American newspaper pub- lishers urging continued free entry and redefinition in the law of newsprint pa- per, and various lumber interests pro- —s @® duty of 25 per cent on all Classes of lumber. The lumber repre- sentatives complained of Canada plac- ing a duty on American manufactured lumber, while the United States permits that country’s lumber of this type to come in free. Opposition to a lumber tariff also was voiced. Urges Duty-Free Paper. Hlisha Hanson, of this city, repre- sentative of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, told the com- mittee that the policy of admitting newsprint free had been long establish- ed and that his principal concern was over the wording. “standard newsprint “a ~t ” in the present law. said there was no such article in the trade and to eliminate confusion in its © cgpaneamaenneny at the customs house he suggested that the present phraseology be changed to “printing paper, excepting rotogravure paper, for use in the manufacture of newspapers.” “In order to see how far from ‘stan- dard’ the process of making newsprint paper actually is,” he declared, ‘‘one meeds to but pick up the first half dozen newspapers published in different localities, or even published in the _@ame city, for that matter, which he happens to see on a newsstand, to see how greatly these newspapers differ in the kind of newsprint they use.” Says Definitions Conflict. As a result of the present definition, he said, the Treasury had rendered four | different definitions of newsprint in the last six years, two different definitions had been made by the Bureau of Stan- dards, and 4,000 cases had arisen tn the customs courts, causing delays in ob- taining supplies for newspaper manu- facture. . Hanson said American publishers im- ported 61 lag of their newsprint. B. M. An assistant business man- ager, and John W. Park, production of the Tribune Co., of Chicago, joined in a brief Hanson filed with the committee. A lumber duty of 25 per cent was}: ang by Willlam S. Bennett, of Chicago, enns the - Edward Hines associated lumber interests. He also presented resolutions on behalf of the Southern Pine Association and Northern lumber interests, seeking a 20 per cent duty. Canadian Advantage Claimed. Bennett said Canada Jevies a duty of oad cent against American finished partly dressed lumber and were free entry for her like lumber ito American markets. He also claimed Canada’s taxes and freight rates, es-| ‘pecially by water, were lower than do- mestic and held that American lumber interests were entitled to protection, “to the extent at least of equalizing the production costs.” Charlies A. Goodman, of Wisconsin. spoke for the hardwood maple flooring interests in asking a 25 per cent duty. Opposing any duty on lumber, Rep-+ resentative Newton (Republican), Min- .mesote, held there wes no appreciable difference in cost of production here and in Canada, while in some localities above the border the cost is higher, he ‘City Asked to Pay | Rent on Its Parks Stockholm, Feb. 23 (U.P.).—The City of Stockholm has owned its parks for nearly 500 years, or since 1436, and the national government therefore has no enema over them: This has been brought up by Carl Lindhagen, mayor of the Swedish capital, in con- nection with a request from the state that the city pay rent for certain parks. In opposing this demand, the chief executive referred to a deed dated -1436, which tells of the award “for all times to come as a token of gratitude for the faith and service the people of Stockholm have shown the gov- ernment.” MOVEMENT S OF STEAMSHIPS New York, Feb. 23.

CHEFOO AREA DISTURBED (United Press.) Fighting has begun at Changsha, China, and private Americans have re- boat. American Minister John Van A. MacMurray informed the Department the American Yangste River patrol has he said. Other sources reported severe fight- ing hundreds of miles north at Fu- shan. 10 miles east of Chefoo, in the heard from the direction of Chefoo. MacMurray’s information was. re- ceived from the American Consul at and from the interpreter of the American con- from Hankow toward Changsha, 200 miles south, via the railway which con- the Hankow section and Canton in the south, The request for a gunboat was re- ceived by Adams in Hankow. Earlier this week the American consul at Che- foo advised dispatch of a warship to that city where Japanese and British ships already were at anchor. ting in the vicinity of Chefoo was started by rebel troops who reised the old Republican flag of China the Nationalist forces holding city. The nature of the Changsha fighting was not disclosed in the dispatches. Other Sections Revolt. Shanghai, Feb. 23 (A.P.).—The Shan- tung disorders, eventuating into the hard fighting near Chefoo, have given rise to other campaigns against the Na- tionalist regime at Nanking, the ex- acknowledged by a spokesman for the Kuomintang party here today. He told Chinese newspaper men that Communists in central China were spreading propaganda in the National- ist armies urging armed uprising. He seid they were also using the wide- spread anti-Japanese sentiment to stir dissatisfaction and that last week the Nationalist authorities at Hankow had arrested there the lead- ers of an extensive Communist plot. Word aiso came here that Gen. Lu Ti-Ping, chairman of the provincial ters at Changsha, had been ousted by three subordinates, one of whom, ~— t was said that the coup d'etat was exe- cuted with the connivance of Hankow authorities, who were widely believed Nanking government or were possibly planning an active revolt with the sup- port of the Canton government. Fears Are Discounted. However, these alarming possibili- ties were discounted by reports from British and American naval officers at Hankow, who said that the Changsha trouble was purely local and was not expected to develop into anything of nation-wide concern. Gen. Lu was accused by his subor- dinates of misappropriating provincial the men who ousted him, neglecting to suppress banditry, imposing exorbi- tant taxes, and in general, mismanag- ing affairs of the province. Lu at- tempted to resist the ousting, but he lost a sharp fight between troops of the opposing factions and had to flee from Changsha. ——— a THEFT OF ELECTION ‘McCloskey Presents Evidence in Texas Trial Refuting Story of Conspiracy. CUNNINGHAM UPON STAND Austin, Tex., Feb. 23 (AP.).—The de- fense got its inn today in the trial of Representative-elect Augustus J. Mc- Closkey (Democrat), of San Antonio on one of the indictments charging elec- tion frauds. It immediately rushed to the witness stand a succession of witnesses to deny in toto the tetimony yesterday of Dave Dewhurst, the State’s star witness, who testified that upon his suggestion Mc- Closkey and the former Bexar County — s secretary connived at a plan to the November 6 election from Harry Wurzbach, Republican. The first witneas was Ernest J. Alt- gelt, named by Dewhurst as present when the alleged plot was hatched and also as one who urged it on. Denies Knowing Dewhurst, At the alleged time, November 8, he did not even know Dewhurst, Altgelt testified. He did not at any time sug- gest holding the ballot boxes for a ible McCloskey contest; never re- ayed to Dewhurst the information that “Nolte and Creager” had urged that the election be taken from Wurz-4 bach by any means, and never in any manner suggested that the election re- turns be altered, Wurzbach, incumbent of the con- tested office, revolted in recent years from the regular Republican group, headed by R. B. Creager, national com- mitteeman. ene Nolte, the other man referred to by Altgelt, is chairman of the Republican State committee, Lane Taylor, a San Antonio realtor also mentioned aa present, added his complete denial of everything Dewhurst testified. Then came Charles R. Guinn, San Antonio lawyer, to testify that at some time between December 1 and 17 last, Dewhurst related to him that Mo- Closkey had nothing to do with illegal- ly altering the returns, a statement Guinn easerted was repeated as re- cently as ten days ago. Creager Opposed Wurzbach. The defense’s first day then came to its climax wtih the presentation of John H. Cunningham, of San Antonio, closely associated with McCloskey in the congressional race, but not, he said, the county judge’s campaign manager. The evidence of Cunningham, him- self an attorney, was marked by testi- mony that Nolte and Creager had op- posed the reelection of Wurzbach, Texas’ only Republican representative since the Civil War. It also revealed that the McCloskey forces were advised by Dewhurst: “You gentlemen don’t need to worry about this election; the commissioners’ court has never been canvassed. In every election I know anything about, the commissioners’ court always finds discrepancies and correcta them.” Insurance Congress Votes Change to “‘Old Line”’ Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 23 (A.P.).—At a meeting of the National Congress of the American Insurance Union, the na- tional governing and legislative body composed of delegates and officers from all parts of the United States, voted unanimously today to organize en old line stock company with a capital stock of $1,000,000, and a like surplus.

The annuities, or Germany's capacity to pay, which among the nations en- gaged in the deliberations will take the initiative in defining the annuities, and what tota] amount of reparations must be paid were the three questions which took up the complete day in ronofficial sessions of a subcommittee of five as well as in private conversations among the other delegates. Late this afternoon M. Cott, of Bel- gium; Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, of Ger- many, and Sir Josiah Stamp, of Great Britain, were to draw up a definite and final proposal of the method of pro- cedure to be placed before ea full session of the experts Monday morning. Twice during the day the advice of Owen D. Young was requested during a three-hour meeting. Thomas W. La- mont, alternate American delegate, also was called in but what questions were discussed remained a deep. secret. “Nothing has been given out and noth- ing will be given out until something definite is decided,” correspondents were told by a spokesman for the Bel- gian delegation. Crucial Week at Hand. All the delegations agree that a crucial week in the negotiations will open on Monday. If the subcommittee presenta a report acceptable to the plenary session, then the outlook will be favorable for continuances of the deliberations in an atmosphere condu- Clve to reaching an understanding. On the other hand should the final report of the subcommittee be found unaccep- table Monday morning, then it ig felt successful conclusion of the present confrence will be greatly endangered. One of the delegates of an allied pow- er told the correspondent this evening: “We do hope some way may be found to reach a basis and complete negotia- tions successfully. We can’t afford to let this opportunity slide to terminate the liquidation of the war.” Then he hesitated and added, “but, it seems to us, neither can the Germans.” Meanwhile the American delegation, between consultations of the subcom- mittee and conferences among them- selves, was busy welcoming Thomas N. Perkins, one of t o American alter- nate delegates, who reached France early this morning. During the day the delegation also saw 8S. Parker Gil- bert, agent-general for reparations, who is fully recovered after an attack of gtippe. Mr. Gilbert was to have left for Berlin this evening but it was un- derstood that he had postponed his de- parture until Monday afternoon. France’s Limit Reached. This is interpreted as indicating that the conference will mot move to Berlin next week and also that Mr, Gilbert expects to be called before the commit- tee Monday. This will not happen, however, unless the report of the sub- committee on the future basis of pro- cedure is found acceptable, The French viewpoint has not changed. The correspondent was told by a person close to official circles th~t France will not make the first muve. Although gracefully admitting thay the experts are “independent gentlemen whe are not bound by their govern- ments’ instructions,” this personage avered that France has gone the limit in the way of concessions. The feeling in foreign office circles continues to be that in accordance with Premier Poincare’s speeches of last fall that France is perfectly willing to revert entirely to the original Dawes plan. Meanwhile the American delegation including J. P. Morgan, Mr. Young and the two alternates, are maintaining a detached attitude which, it is felt, will be a great asset of strength if the dead- lock continues, affording them an op- portunity to propose a compromise, 127 Dogs Poisoned, Town Hunts Killer 2 # Death-Dealing Meat Believed Tossed Out by Autoist in Hawthorne. Paterson, N. J., Feb. 23 (N.Y.W.NS.). The human population of Hawthorne, near Paterson, which comprises 12,000 souls, is up in arms because some one hes dealt death with poisons during the last two weeks to 127 dogs. This startling depletion of Haw- thorne’s canine population was an- nounced today by Poundmaster Lloyd Ferguson, who has performed autopsies On se@yveral of the dogs, finding strong traces of arsenate of lead, stryichnine, ground glass and, in one instance, wolf pill, @ poison used to rid stockmen and farmers of wolves. Hawthorne’s dog hater has two legs but seldom uses them, preferring an automobile. Police Chief Ryan van der Valk is convinced of that. It is believed he drives through the streets, tossing out pieces of poi- soned meat and sausages in spots where dogs may have easy access to them. The victims are not just plain muts. Police dogs, collies, terriers and other favorite breeds have been outstanding among the murdered. The Hawthorne Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has offered a reward for the arrest of the dog hater. Phone Miss C.

A witness who said he supported Henry 8.

Park Wyatt, of Shawnee, the witness, said the governor's na for him cooled with rumors that yate was ; |disseminating goasip concerning John- ston and Mrs. O. O.

Wyatt's testimony chiefly concerned Johnston's pur- ported preference for the asphalt type of road construction, which other wit- . nesses have testified ig considerably -|more expensive than concrete. Wyatt, a Shawnee attorney, has been active in litigation to prevent the highway com- mission from using Pottawatomie County road funds for the construction of asphalt top roads in thet county, After Johnaton’s election in 1926, he Offered Wyatt a postion as executive counsellor, the witness said, but he de- clined because he felt acceptance would entail too at a financial sacrifice. Wyatt did work in the governor's of- fice for a short time,’he gaid, but was compelled to quit because of an in- fected eye. The governor’s attitude toward him had chilled, Wyatt said, when we re- turned to see Johnston some time later.

The people had no confidence what- ever in the pretended conversion of the Democratic party to the policy of pro- tection. Gov. Smith revealed that the platform plank meant nothing, and ut- terances by leading Democratic news- papers disclose that the party does not . believe in protection. Jt was partly because the Republican party had framed the tariff law upon which present prosperity rests, and be- cause it was known that Mr. Hoover would not tear down protection, that the Republican party was kept in power. Its retention in power now depends upon how it will revise the tariff. The Democrats in Congress are pre- paring to demand extravagant tariff in- creases, not because they are genuine protectionists, but because they hope to destroy the Republican party by com- mitting it to a ruinously high tariff or placing it in the attitude of opposing “protection.” The real danger to the Republican party, however, does not come from the enemy. It comes from within its own ranks. Democratic attempts to overdo protection can be easily exposed as politi- cal hypocrisy. But it is not so easy to curb the selfish Republican forces that are combining and logrolling to boost the tariff all along the line. _ The existing tariff law has been suc- cessful in protecting American industry and labor, while yielding satisfactory revenue and not interfering with Ameri- can foreign trade. Therefore this law should stand, as a whole; and only such revision should be made as will bring the law up to date and more fully pro- tect agriculture. Since the law was en- acted some industries have unduly suf- fered from foreign competition. They are entitled to better protection. The facts concerning them are easily ascer- tained by studying American imports during the last six years. The mere fact that protected indus- tries are asking for higher duties is not a good reason for overhauling the tariff. If the Republican party adopts the policy of wholesale tariff boosting, without re- gard to the effect upon foreign trade and without regard to the domestic con- sumer, all the efforts of all the protected industries will not save it from defeat in 1930 or 1932. The rights of millions of consumers can not be disregarded with impunity. Demands are made for duties on lum- ber and petroleum. These are natural resources which should be conserved. To the extent that foreign lumber and pe- troleum are barred out, American lum- ber and petroleum resources will be drawn upon. The lumbermen are using up the forests faster than they are being planted. The oil men are draining the fields at an extravagant and reckless rate. The Republican majority in Con- gress should beware of combinations among the industries that will try to force through tariff rates that would tend to exhaust the Nation’s resources. The “testimony” taken by the ways and means committee contains an enor- mous mass of shameless falsehood and selfishness. Legislators would be sim- pletons, indeed, if they should attach ad | any weight to this kind of testimony. When the new bill comes to be written the committee must stand loyally by the people as against special interests that are combining for their own advantage, if there is not to be a monstrous injus- tice to the public that will be resented by sweeping the Republican party from power. The people trust the new President and will rely upon him to do all in his power to effect honest and just tariff revision. If Republicans in Congress are wise they will cooperate with him to this end. WHAT WASHINGTON SAID. The New York Times takes a few words from President Coolidge’s address on Washington’s birthday and tries to make it appear that Mr. Coolidge sought to “clear up a popular misunderstanding and prevent further mistaken citations of the authority of Washington.” The “nopular misunderstanding,” it appears, is that Washington was opposed to po- litical connections with Europe. The “mistaken citations” simmer down to the pardonable error of attributing to Washington the phrase “entangling alliances,” which was coined by Jeffer- son. Thus, by a (cunning twisting of words, it is now assumed that Mr. Cool- idge construes George Washington’s warnings as having no reference to such a political entanglement as would be created by the United States joining the League of Nations.. Says the Times: Here he is at the end of his Presi- dency, saying the kindest of all possible words for the League of Nations, by implying that George Washington would have favored it. Washington the internationalist! This idea seems to be intended as a legacy which President Coolidge wishes to leave to his countrymen in his own Farewell Address. The essence of Washington’s Farewell Address, so far as foreign relations are concerned, is the following: The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, 1s, 1n extending our commercial relations, to have as little Political connection as possible. It is not necessary for any American to borrow the interpretation of any one in getting at the meaning of these words of Washington. The first President laid the foundations of the Monroe Doctrine when he said in his Faréwell Address: Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation.—Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our con- cerns.—Hence, therefore, it would be unwise in us| to implicate our- selves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities. No interpretation by Mr. Coolidge or by anybody else can ever convince the American people that George Washing- ton would have favored the political entanglement with Europe that would result from America’s membership in the League of Nations. American ‘Articipation in European politics mea’fé European participation in American politics. Any one who believes that George Washington would have favored such folly is obviously unable to understand the Farewell Address. ADVERTISING BAD BOOKS. In the old days immoral books and other publications that did not meet the approval of those in authority were burned in public. If the author had been too severe in denunciation of existing beliefs, he was lucky to escape burning at the stake. Usually, in the same pro- portion as his work suffered publicly, his popularity generally grew in secret. Today the practice of burning objec- tionable books has been abandoned, and it is left for antivice societies and the courts to advertise works of. question- able merit. In New York another book has been placed on the forbidden list, and the fact is being so widely adver- tised that the demand for the forbidden novel will no doubt increase tenfold. The desire of the public to brood over this wretched story will be further accentu- ated by a lengthy opinion of the judge, in which he finds that the book is a carefully constructed piece of fiction, not without literary merit, but that it “tends . to debauch the public morals, that its subject matter is offensive to public de- cency, and that it is calculated to de- prave and corrupt minds open to its im- moral influences.” Curiosity is inherent in human nature. It is seldom that a person sees any harm for himself in a book, no matter how de-~ structive he may believe it to be for + | others. Many a person will read a book in secret which he would condemn in public. Anything that is pronounced salacious is bound to attract thousands of readers who otherwise would never have heard of it. Since the publishers are prepared to “fight the case to the bitter end,” this book will receive still further publicity and wide distribution. There is no question as to the harmful influence of immoral books, especially on the minds of the immature. But why advertise such books? Even the plot of the forbidden story is given to the pub- lic through the trial of the present case. How many more ages will it take to con- vince public officials that the objective of clean literature can not be attained by advertising objectionable books through sensational seizures and court action? LENGTHENING LIFE. An interesting birthday party was held in New York a few days ago for three persons who had reached the re- spective ages of 107, 108 and 109. The public finds a curious interest in men and women who attain such venerable age, but’there is more universal interest in the fact that science is making it pos- sible for more people to celebrate birth- days beyond the century mark than ever before. Many years have been added to the life of the average man by scientific dis- coveries of recent times. When the last census was taken in 1920.a male child born in the United States had a life ex- pectation of nearly 56 years and a female of nearly 58. The life span has been steadily lengthened in modern times, and the last nine years should show special improvement. As one disease after an- other is eliminated it is natural to ask how far science can go in extending human longevity. Some years ago Dr. Louis I. Dublin, noted. demographer and statistician, in- vestigated the possibilities of lengthen- ing life and came to the conclusion that the death rate could be cut down at the younger ages and through middle life, resulting in more people arriving at old age. But he also concluded that once they had arrived at old age, they would continue to succumb to the same frail- ties which afflicted the old in previous generations. Now he has modified his view, thinking it “‘too severe a limitation on human ingenuity.” His most recent opinion is that man has not yet ex- hausted all the possibilities which mod- ern medicine has put at his disposal, and that it is possible through the applica- tion of community hygiene to scale down the number of diseases. This means that an increasing number of people will reach old age without impaired hearts, kidneys and blood vessels. The view expressed by Dr. Dublin— that the process of aging in most cases is premature, and that it is a result of some illness or pathological process—is everywhere gaining recognition. Great stress 1s laid on the discovery of defects and impairments before any _ serious damage is done to the body, and in this way scientists assert that senility may be delayed 20 years. Prof. Fisher, of Yale University, is of the opinion that the age of a large portion of the people will soon be lengthened well beyond 100 years. Other scientists assert that the span of life will extend to between 100 and 200 years in the not distant future. It is a common practice for mathema- ticians to estimate in figures the value of each year that is added to the average life. There can be no monetary value placed on this phase of science, but in the lives of the millions who are bene- fited and preserved its worth is manifest. _—_—_—— eee “OLD IRONSIDES.” The “Save Old Ironsides” campaign is moving into its closing stages. Until recently no effort had been made to raise money except through the sale of the of- ficial paintings of the historic ship at 50 cents each. By concentrating in this manner upon small contributions a wide- spread interest in the project was awakened, but the time has arrived when it is desirable to complete the fund so that the work may be concluded. With this in mind, the committee now asks for outright contributions, each to be acknowledged by a souvenir of the ship or by pictures. Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, Boston Navy Yard, is chair- man of the committee. _The United States frigate Constitu- tion—*Old Ironsides”—was one of the first three naval vessels launched in the United States. She slid from the ways in Hart’s shipyard, Boston, in October, 1797, her timbers fastened together with bolts made by Paul Revere, her flags and signals made by Betsy Ross. In 1798 ” Trotsky. she was active in suppressing French privateers in the West Indies; in 1804 she forced peace with the Barbary pi- rates, stopping further tribute to them, and during the perilous days of 1812 she defended the Nation. The people of America owe a debt of gratitude to the heroes who fought on her decks, a debt that can be paid by willing hearts and pockets in completely preserving the ship as a naval memorial. The committee has prepared a repro- duction in full color of the official paint- ing, framed in wood and copper from the original hull, that may be obtained for a $25 contribution. There are trays, gavels, book ends, cigarette boxes and walking sticks, all composed of woods and metals taken from the original hull that may be obtained for contributions varying from $5 to $25. The souvenirs are useful and decorative, in addition to being historically significant. The Amer- ican people should hasten to purchase them, in view of the fact that each dollar so expended will assist in preserving the heroic ship that symbolizes the glory of the Stars and Stripes. CHINA’S NEW CRISIS. When the war lords of China met re- cently at Nanking, recognized the Na- tionalist government, agreed to submit to its authority and laid plans for dimin- ishing that country’s armed forces by half, hope was aroused that at last China was on the way toward political sta- bility. The civil war had been brought to a close, and all the provinces had been united under one flag. Those best ac- quainted with conditions were not opti- mistic, however; and now the fears of a ‘fresh uprising have proved themselves well founded. Chang Chungchang, former war lord of Shantung, has been intriguing against the Nationalist government for some time. It appears that he took advantage of some disaffection among the govern- ment troops and started the revolt at Chefoo. Dispatches indicate that the battle fought on Friday was a vic- tory for the Nationalist troops, which took 1,000 prisoners‘ and inflicted heavy losses on the revolters. If the uprising can be speedily stamped out it will add to the prestige of the Nationalist gov- ernment and should improve the chances of final stabilization. Even if Shantung can be brought into complete submission to the Nanking gov- ernment, China will still face innumer- able difficulties that may keep the na- tion in a state of strife for a long time. Feng Yuhsiang, minister of war, is re- ported to be mobilizing a large force in the western part of the country. Unrest is growing with the spread of famine and disease. In large areas of nine prov- inces it is reported that 20,000,000 peo- ple are undernourished or starving. Foreign relief collections have been slow, and the central government has been un- able to cope with the situation. Unless some action is taken soon it appears that all the achievements of the recent con- ferences may be wasted, and that China { will again become a disorganized coun- try harried by rival military chiefs. The war lords for a long time exer- cised almost complete power, and they do not readily submit to the authority of a central government. However, the strength shown by the central govern- ment in dealing with the revolt of Chefoo is encouraging. Since China’s salvation lies in the establishment of a responsible national government, the United States and other countries are hoping that the Nationalists will hold together and win. MILES STANDISH. The advertisement of the Duxbury Park estate at Chorley, Lancashire, “to be sold freehold,” with mansion house and about 550 acres, has brought back to English people memories of Longfellow’s poem, “The Courtship of Miles Standish,” and the mystery attached to the sup- posed vast estates “surreptitiously de- tained”.from the redoubtable little cap- tain of Plymouth, That the Standishes had a very close connection with the Eng- lish Duxbury is well established, for there are in existence authenticated copies of deeds of the fourteenth century, which show that Ralph de Dokesbury, whose ancestor crossed to England from Nor- mandy with Henry I in 1100, made over his Lancashire estate to his lawyer, Ralph Standish, who took up the mort- gages and thereby dispossessed the Dokesbury of Duxbury family. In “The Pilgrims and Their History,” Prof. Usher maintains that Miles Standish was sent by the Merchant Adventurers with the emigrants in the Mayflower as their salaried servant to defend them and teach them to defend themselves. It is signifi- cant that when the Pilgrims, deflected from the Virginian Company’s territory, which was their original destination, de- cided to colonize Plymouth Bay, the name given to one of their settlements was Duxbury. As recently as 1920, the Rev. T. C. Porteus, in one of the volumes of the Historical Series of the University of Manchester, made an investigation into the “threefold mystery” of Miles Stan- dish’s religion, pedigree, and lost estates. He there makes a minute examination of Lancashire allusions in Longfellow’s poem. If Longfellow had any historical basis for the statement he puts into the captain’s mouth: “One of my ancestors ran his sword through the heart of Wat Tyler, the descent of Miles and his con- nection with Duxbury ‘would be apparent, for, according to the Rev. Mr. Porteus, it was John de Standish, lord of the Lan- cashire manor, who defended = King Richard II at Smithfield in 1381, and for the service then rendered received the wardenship of Scarborough Castle. In illustrated editions of “The Courtship” there appeared a picture of Duxbury Hall, which was labeled “Standish Hall,” and this fact, coupled with the statements of other writers, helped to establish in the public mind a close association between Miles and the original Duxbury. Tradition, respectable though it be, is, | however, one thing, and proof of title to landed property in a country settled al- most from time immemorial is quite an- other thing. In 1846 the descendants of Miles Standish subscribed a large amount of money and dispatched an American expert to trace their claims to their an- cestor’s rights in the English estate. Nothing, however, came of these at- tempts, which turned out to be just as abortive as those made some five years ago by various worthy people in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to prove the existence and secure the distribution of the mythical “Lennox millions.” Miles Standish may not have be- queathed any great store of worldly pos- sessions to his posterity, but he lives, and will forever live, in Longfellow’s spirited narrative as a valiant soldier and a gen- erous and noble-hearted friend. Such a reputation is no mean legacy. a VESTRIS LESSON UNHEEDED. Senator Wagner, of New York, on Friday assailed the several Vestris in- quiries and deplored the fact that thus far no tangible steps have been taken to prevent its duplication. He called atten- - tion to the fact that the investigations recommended congressional inquiries and that he had introduced a resolution to that end some time ago. The resolu- tion, he said, is “slumbering” in commit- tee, and he demanded immediate action upon it. Senator Jones, chairman of the commerce committee, in reply said that the matter had been referred to a subcommittee and that a report was ex- pected before adjournment. In a magazine article published re- cently Rear Admiral William S. Sims asserts that responsibility for safety at sea in the final analysis lies with the public. Complete safety, despite the best efforts of navigators and designers, is an impossibility without an inter- national agreement that would close the ports of the world to passenger vessels not conforming to proper design. Until public opinion has been sufficiently edu- cated to demand safety instead of speed and luxury, he adds, no shipowner can possibly afford to build the completely safe ship, which, because it would lack certain luxurious touches, could not com- pete with other ships. There is, of course, a happy medium between the theoretical absolutely safe ship and the luxurious accommodation that modern travelers demand. The medium probably is exemplified by most of the modern liners. The Vestris, however, fell short of the standard, and a tragedy resulted. How many other ships, short of the standard, ply the waters to and from American ports? Before the tragedy of the Vestris be- comes a hazy memory it should be made the basis of an extensive investigation to establish what reforms, if any, are needed in the American ship registra- tion and inspection code. Further delay should not be permitted. Too many days have passed already without serious ef- fort to profit by the warnings by that disaster. as

For, while Mrs. Herbert Hoover has directed her activities out- side of her home to execute work for | the Girl Scouts of America and the organizations interested in preserving the health and providing proper recre- ation and athletics for girls and young women, she has also given a. cordial support to the work of women’s organ- izations. Mrs. Hoover affiliated herself shortly after she came to Washington with college and university women’s organ- izations and has attended luncheons and dinners at intervals given by the American Association of University and College Alumni groups. The new First Lady of the Land will know much of the problems and of the ambitions which confront the women Organization leaders in the National Capital, for she has from time to time been guest of honor or even an ac- tively interested guest or member at many of the meetings. While Mrs. Hoover is a national officer of the Girl Scouts, she has always taken a vital and important part in the local scout work and, of cotirse, in this way has come in contact with the club women of the District, all of whom are inter- ested and many of them officers and leaders in the local scout organization. Presided Over by Mrs. Hoover. At the conference early in the Cool- administration called to discuss problems of proper recreation for , over which Mrs. Hoover presided four days at the auditorium of the ‘National Museum, many of the women leaders took important and became well acquainted with e executive ability and clear thinking and ve characteristics of Mrs. Hoover. As there were representatives of national and local women’s organiza- tions outside of the Girl Scouts as well ms physical directors and authorities on the problems under discussion pres- ent, Mrs. Hoover came in touch with _@ great many women of various in- ~ terests in the world of work for women and for the Nation. The real support Mrs. Hoover has always given all the movements by the women’s organizations in behalf of the American home has been of great value to them in the past and of course with the lady of the house of the first house of the Nation taking an interest the American home programs which im some way or another are included in echedules of practically every wom- en's organization will be given impetus. Te is doubtful if there is any club headquarters Mrs. Hoover has not visited in the National Capital once at least or perhape many times since she came to Washington as the wife of the food administrator and later as the wife of a Cabinet officer. At present Mrs. Hoover has been in- vited as the wife of the President to revisit these clubs as a guest at meet- ings, teas, luncheons or dinners. If she has accepted any the announce- ments have been withheld quite prop- erly until after March 4. Braille Workers Wanted. Volunteers are still needed for the work in Braille for those blinded in the War, conducted by the District Chapter of the American Red Cross. The Braille work of the chapter is now more than eleven years old, as it was begun in No- vember, 98, when classes were formed by members of the volunteer Clerical Corps, with Miss Adelia M. Hoyt, in- structor. Night units of Braille workers meet in the Chapter House on Tuesday Rights under the direction of Miss Anna ©. Koerper, and there are also daytime Classes directed by Mrs. A. Wolfe. In addition to these, groups from the Ju- nior . Church of the Covenant, and the American Legion Auxiliary are en in this work. © chapter has also purchased a Braille printing press and another group is engaged in the processing and printing of Braille books, which are supplied upon order to the public libra- Ties throughout the country. Last year the work accomplished included 50,540 pages shellacked, 126 Easter cards print- ea, 56 volumes printed, 512 workers, 850 hours volunteer service. | THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 192 ee a club woman will be welcomec © Left—Mrs. Howard Lawton Major V’Enfant Chapter, D. r. ee Me SE . re Z 2 ae ° Ir Ce Rie, RE aia & . ee a LP Dee wee > On ee * oe — oe ee ee — Oe a v4 aa. : nin SV : Pac eA aa ne -— buying sf 30 for inauguration. oo incident to March Fourth.

The Nancy Carter Shop Opened This Week —and it surely was exciting on the opening day. I haven't seen so many people I knew in just ages. Everyone came. It is the first opening on Connecticut Avenue this spring, and everyone was.so happy for a chance to see the new clothes which Miss Eliason has selected for her shop with such extraordinary discretion. From the way the young set have crowded in all day every day, you know the models are exactly what they want at exactly the prices they can afford to pay. You will be interested in some of the - ensembles which were priced at $49.50. One in blue covert cloth.with a French blue blouse had a seven-eighths coat. A black cloth with a short coat and a pleated skirt has a blouse of canary crepe with black and red motifs. An oxford with an egg-shell blouse has such nice tailoring, and good lines. A pale green taffeta evening gown with a pouf at the back is unbelievable at $39.50. Someone saw @ green tulle frock and instantly ordered it for her bridesmaids. A black crepe with or-i ange and white figures has such nice pleated frills. This is only $39.50. This week there will be some frocks for $16.50, I believe. There are smart little hats and riding habits and accessories. The Nancy Carter Shop, 1021 Connecticut Avenue, is a welcome addition to Connecticut Avenue. The Junksnup pers Has Just Now —a straight-front inlaid Sheraton .chest which collectors of old pieces will . be especially glad to Know about.

OWEN. pe will be the last week of Mrs. Cool- idge’s regime in the White House and all Washington seems to join in the desire to express to her the affection they feel for her, ahd their appreciation of the graciousness and kindliness with which she has presided over the White House. ‘While no formal functions have been given at the Executive Mansion since the Army and Navy reception on January 24, during the last month a great many have been given the opportunity of saying good-by to Mrs. Cool- idge. Her two largest receptions of this kind were the one for the members and associate members of the Senate Ladies’ Club on Feb- ruary 7 and the one the following week, on St. Valentine’s Day, for the wives of the representatives. On Monday Mrs. Charles G. Dawes, wife of the Vice President, and the wives of the Cabinet officers had tea with Mrs. Coolidge, which was their farewell reunion at the White House. In spite of these days being such busy ones for her, Mrs. Coolidge took time on Tuesday noon to receive the out-of-town dele- gates to the regional conference of the Asso- ciation of Junior Leagues of America. This was greatly appreciated by these members of this well-known organization, especially as most of them who came on from other cities to attend this conference had never had an opportunity before of ne the First Lady of the Land. io w-\¢ HE Secretary of Labor and Mrs. James J. Davis were hosts at the last Cabinet dinner of this administration in honor of the President and Mrs, Coolidge which took place on Tuesday night at the home of Secretary and Mrs. Davis. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Davis, brother and sister-in-law of Secretary Davis, were here for the dinner, but the remaining guests were from Washington, which is not often the case in the Cabinet dinners. The Speaker of the House and Mrs. Nicho- las Longworth will be hosts on Tuesday night for the last of the official dinners for the President and Mrs. Coolidge. . There have been several guests at the White House during the last week. Mr. John Coolidge was here last week-end. Mrs. R. B. Hills, who has frequently been with the Coolidges all through the administration, was also with them last week for a few days. And a guest was Mr. Michael Gallagher, of Cleveland, Ohio, who arrived on Friday. ad * oa a HE Vice President and Mrs, Dawes are being so much entertained that every minute of their time seems to be taken up until March 4. They will leave Washington that afternoon for their home in Evanston, Ill, and expect to take a trip to Europe be- fore summer, which will give them a rest from their strenuous life here. Vice President and Mrs. Dawes were hosts gt two large dinners at the Pan-American Union lately, when thev entertained the am- bassadors and ministers, members of the Cabinet, and nearly all of the senators and representatives. These entertainments were their farewell parties, and were brilliant af- fairs. Then # great many dinners have been “ given for the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, efts Leander MeCormick-Goodhart, wife of the Commercial Secretary of the British batty making their last weeks unusually busy ones. They are always the recipients of much s8o0- cial attention but of course are more in de- mand than ever just now, as s0 many have been waiting for an opportunity to entertain them. Some of the hosts who have given dinners in honor of Vice President and Mrs. Dawes during the last ten days were the Ambassa- dor of Cuba and Mme. Ferrara, the Minis- ter of Egypt and Mme. Samy Pasha, the Min- ister of Finland, Mr. L.| Axel Astrom, the secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Andrew Wy Mellon; Senator and Mrs, Jesse H. Metcalf, and the Assistant Secretary of War for Avia- tion and Mrs. F, Trubee Davison. Their next dinner hosts will be the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. James J. Davis, who will entertain on Tuesday night. 7 * - s M RS. FRANK B. KELLOGG, wife of the Secretary of State, has been for the past week at her home in St. Paul, Minn., but will be back here in time for the dinner which Secretary~Mellon will give in honor of Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg on Thursday night. Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg were en- tertained just before Mrs. Kellogg went away by the French Ambassador and Mme, Clau- del, the Cuban Ambassador and Mme, Fer- rara, and the Chief Justice and Mrs. Will- fam Howard Taft. Speaking of farewell entertainments, none of the retiring diplomats has had more done for them than the Minister of China, Mr. Ssao-Ke Alfred Sze, and Mme. Sze. They have been so very popular during the almost eight years they have been stationed here and have many friends, not only in Wash- ington, but all over the United States. Mr, Sze’s friends here date back to when he was at school in the city, as a boy, and also to his career at Cornell, On Wednes- day of last week the students of Central High School gave a farewell tribute to Mr. 5ze, who graduated from there in the class of 1897, since when he has always felt very close to that Institution. His brother, Mr. Thomas Sze, also was a graduate from there. Mme, Sze, by her charming personality, has also won her way to the hear& of the people here, and both she and the Minister have had many evidences of esteem from their wonderful friends in America. The Cornell Club of Washington gave a banquét in honor of Mr. Sze a short time ago, when he was presented with a painting of a scene on the campus of his old university, where he graduated with honors. He and Mme, Sze are having luncheons and dinners given for them almost daily, and have en- gagements until the time of their departure from the country. Before coming here as Minister, Mr. Sze was in London for seven years, 80 that post will not be a new one for them and they will 4 Roa : “J “ 4 eae 4 “ : # ness RE: On EEE MERE, tn Pe. tee a “PHOTOS U NDERWOOD UNDERWOOD find many old friends there. Then another claim which England has on them is that their two sons, Mr. Deson Sze and Mr, Szening Sze go to school in that country, where they returned early {p January. Their four daughters are students ia this country, the eldest one, Miss Mamie §ze, attends Wel- lesley College, and the three younger go ta day schools in Washington. There has been a rumor that the Sze family might go to China for a visit before going to England, but their plans are not definite. - . _ e 1% HIS has certainly been the season of en- gagements and the latest one of inter- est to Washington society is that of Miss Suzette Dewey, daughter of the financial ad- viser to the Polish government, and Mrs. Charles S. Dewey, to Mr. Frederick Moulton Alger, jr., of Detroit, Mich. Miss Dewey made her debut here when her father was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, when she was an acknowledged belle. She remained in America for several visits after her parents left Washington for Warsaw, joining them there later. Mr. Dewey was in Washington two weeks ago for a visit, but his family 4id not accompany him, and he has now returned to his post. A marriage which took place on Thursday in New York is also of interest to this city. It was that of Miss Ann O’Gorman, daugh- ter of former Senator and Mrs. James A. O’Gorman, to Mr. Paul Marcy White, son of Mr. Richard 8S. White, also of New York. The wedding was a quiet one, being in Lent. The only attendants were Miss Alice O’Gorman, sister of the bride, who was maid of honor, and the father of the bridegroom, who acted as best man. Mr. Paul White {fs a graduate of Andover and later from Michigan University, but is at present living in New York, where he and his bride will make their home. ?

This ball has been given every year since 1921, with the exception of one year, and has always been one of the popular enter- tainments of the spring season. The for- eign military and naval attaches will serve with the chiefs of branches of the United States Army as members of the floor com- mittee, and, as usual, the brilliant uniforms of the diplomats will add greatly to the color of the ball. President Coolidge has notified Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, who is chairman of the ball, that he will serve again as patron of the ball.

ASHINGTON musicians are 100K- ing forward to the Boston bien- Federation of nial meeting of the National Music Clubs in June performers from all parts of the coun- try will gather in convention. For Harris & Ewing. twenty years the Federation’s aim has been to make America the most musical nation in the world. In such a lauda- ble purpose every American can concur and the District Federation of Music Clubs is one of the most progressive groups in our civic life here and always to be found aligned with the cause of good music in every form. It is thrilling to learn that the Feder- ation is interested in the proposal of the Tuesday Musical Club, of Pitts- burgh, to erect in that city a national shrine of music to the memory of Stephen C. Foster, famed composer of songs, whose birthplace was this East- ern city. All who love Foster’s songs, “Nelly Was a Lady,” “Old Folks At Home,” “Old Dog Tray” and the immor- tal “Sewanee River” will rejoice that this tardy homage is being paid to this composer who set a whole nation to singing. Ohio is rejoicing greatly this winter in the establishment of firm financial support for two of its great orchestras, the Cincinnati Symphony through the munificence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.

Miss Frances Densmore, of the Bu- reau of American Ethnology, Smith- sonian Institution, has written a treat- ise on Indian music at the request of the Academy of Athens, Greece. This book is attracting considerable atten- tion in this country as well. The Dayton Westminster Choir—a singing organization of 60 mixed voices under the direction of John Finley Williamson—now on tour in the Unit- ed States, will appear at the White House, Sunday afternoon, March 9, on special invitation of Mrs. Hoover. On March 18, the choir will give & concert in Carnegie Hall, New York, departing shortly after for Europe where they have a three months tour booked in England, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and Scandinavia. The London concert is set for April 7 in Albert Hall. The Dayton Westminster Choir has become a national institution in this country by reason of its annual] tours which have come to be a feature of its work. Some praise the choir for its beauty of tone and intonation, others for its precise diction, enuncia- tion and organ-like effects, some for ite unanimity of attack without any evidence of pitch being given. But whatever the elements that make for artistry in choral singing, the Dayton- lans have raised church music in America to commanding importance. A choir that can perform so perfectly deserves to be heard away from home, so through the efforts of Mra. H. E. Talbot, president of the association as well as its patroness and financial supporter, Europe will have this op- portunity to note the efficiency of one of America’s most noted choral bodies.

There is not much chance of disheveled-looking hair in this day of close-fitting well-pulled-down hats, and, even though some of the stran- gers may consider that Washington women don straw hats too early in the season, it is certain that the bright- colored, smartly small spring headgear will add a real color note and bright- ness to the crowds on Washington Streets inauguration day. Advance Styles Will Be Seen. That the ensemble will be a high note of the inauguration assembly from a sartorial standpoint can not’ be doubted when the many costumes of this style are worn by the advance guerd of people from all the country and world filling the hotels and homes of the National Capital. The clothes of other inaugurations other than those worn at the inaugural balls are worthy of thought. In recent years the women in the throngs with an up-to-dete fitness of clothes have worn the clothes suitable to the day and weather. If the sun shines on in- auguration day no doubt many of the Spring suits and ensembles now 60 generally worn under fur and top coats ‘will celebrate the day by discarding the extra wrap and flinging one of the handsome new two-animal scarfs across the shoulders. If the day be cold the fur coats will blossim forth, of course, with the spring-like hat which goes with the suit or costume beneath set- ting off the richness of the fur or the coat. If the day be rainy then the re- sourceful women visitors and the women who live in Washington will array themselves like an army in the smartest looking raincoats of leather and rubberized goods, not of drab and dreary color, however, but in the shade that best goes with their complexion and hair, and will pull on their heads felt hats of the same color. So preparedness must be the watch- word of those who wish to enjoy the inauguration ceremonies, and not one, but two or three types of costumes must be ready if the wearer wishes to be suitably dressed.

(Charge Accounts Invited) The Tricorne Is Reflected in the Mirror of the Mode EW YORK.—The success of the combination of lustrous and dull fabrics promises to be repeated in spring millinery. Belting ribbon and straw, felt and straw, and even tweed trimmed hats take their place with angoras and satins for early spring. Hats, like the costumes with which they are to be worn, have taken on individ- uality -nd give promise of condoning for the years in which they were mon- otonously alike. There is again some indication that the tricorne will be revived. During the past few seasons several half heart- ed attempts to reinstate it have been attempted. Reboux who usually has her way with us when . comes to hats, only occasioned a ripple on the surface with her tricorne a year ago. Le Mon- Le Monnier makes the tricorne and scarf set at the upper left, making the hat of a Chartreuse felt and the very unusual jabot scarf half of Chartreuse and half of black crepe. Florence Walton does the very flatteri meme, tucking beige flat-curled ostrich f a ng tricorne at the right, of black Paris eathers under the tilted side brim like a bandeau of hair, and just a little hang of the feathers at the opposite side, after the days of Louls XV, when white wigs Talbot fashions the tricorne below, s! it very interesting in its forhead, cut wit made black tricornes lovely. 1aped like a Russian headdress, making h the broad and shallow line and hartg- ing from this coronet a plain and fine mesh vell.

For the uneven hemline and long in back is a style which gives grace and smartness and will not easily be discarded by Ameri- can women. There will without doubt be a spring- like trend to the evening gowns, for new and old officialdom will welcome the opportunity to wear some of the tempting new evening costumes of lace and chiffon, with wraps to match, which will mark the coming of spring in Washington. Lace will, of course, be the first choice, for while it is ultra modish just now, it also has elegance and dignity. It is not deemed necessary to have these zowns of real lace, the only demand of fashion heing that it be silken and fine and of a becoming color. Any woman who is lucky enough to be able to wear a dress of fine black and red lace made in the latest mode over fiesh-colored chiffon will feel that she is indeed fortunate.

UST what is it that makes a Paris model the sought-after thing of perfect loveliness that it is? For it is a thing of perfect loveliness, pro- vided, of course, that it is a good ex- ample of the art of the Haute Couture. Every now and then some one dis- covers that some other country is be- coming an important center of fashion design, including our own—but the fact that the phrase “as good as a Paris model” or “better than a Paris model” is always used shows that the position of the Rue de la Paix is secure for the present, even though important com- petitive industries grow up. Why Does Paris Lead? But have you ever tried to figure out just what it is that puts this cachet of distinction on a gown because it happens to come from the City of Light instead of some other world capital? Why is it that your eyes almost in- evitably light up with interest when some one says, “Oh, look, there’s Mrs. Smith itn one of the gowns she bought in Paris?” Before we attempt to partially an- ‘swer that question, let us state very |frankly that no one has ever answered ‘it fully and satisfactorily.

France and Women. But the first reason, and probably the |most vital; it seems to us, is the age- old association of France and charm- ing femininity. Read the biographies of her court favorites and you will have read the history of France. Nowhere has feminine loveliness been more lav- ishly glorified, and naturally this con- centration of interest has created a ‘frame of mind particularly favorable to the creation of aids to this glori- fication. Romance—and Paris. Then, too, Parig is somehow inevi- tably linked with romance and color. Set the most banal] story in a suitable Parisian atmosphere and jt will have a note of charm for most readers, Such an atmosphere can not but be conducive to the best work of a atyle designer, and it is here that the great designers do thelr best work. Curtous- ly enough, they are not all French by any means. Among the leaders are sev- eral Englishmen, a few Americans, an Irishman, many Russians—yet these same foreigners have never been able to create as well outside of France. Monsieur Redfern, himself an Eng- lishman, once told us of his repeated efforts to create models in London and New York—without success. He at- tributes this to the absence of this “in- tangible quality” of Paris—and alao to the more concrete fact that he had felt horribly the absence of the incompé@ra- ble French seamstresses to carry out his ideas in the form of finished garments. Magicians of the Loom. Another vital aid to the Paris cou- ture is France’s body of textile weavers in silk and wool. These great creators of fabric beauty bring their new prod- ucts to the couturiers months in ad- vance of a collection, and the colors, patterns and texture of the materials themselves are an important factor in developing fashion trends. But that is another story for another day. L’Elegante’s Influence, And lastly we must not fail to men- tion the Parisian elegante, for whom the Haute Couture creates primarily. What she likes is taken up and en- larged and improved upon; what she eyes with disfavor quickly disappears from the shops—so in the last analysis, as we might expect, the most vital rea- son for the beauty of a Paris model is the taste and chic of the Parisian lovely Au Revoir!

— : ae THE WASHING — ee | ee ee ee eee adn TON POST: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 24, 1929. ee n,n -_ THE TALKING SCREEN IS NOT WITHOUT ITS HEAVY IMPOST By NELSON B. BELL O the conversation turned, as most good motion picture conversa- tions do these days, to the matter of the talking screen, and the photopiay department of The Washington Post learned a good many things that it had not known before. The whole thing was pre- cipitated, as you no doubt have already surmised, by the advance infor- mation that the Ambassador Theater, beginning today is to join the ranks of the Capital's playhouses equipped to emit sound from their acreens. In course of time, and I may say that this is not wholly con- jecture, every picture house in Washington will perforce have to come to the installation of the sound devices that render the presentation of audible film plays possible. Else no theater will survive. It will be a blow, I am sure, to those who decry the advent of the talking picture to learn that the articulation of the Ambassador is but the first step—or one of the first—looking to the complete transforma- tion of the Stanley-Crandall houses into a chain of amusement places 100 per cent wired for the speakies, sound and synchronized pictures. But that is what the industry is coming to and there can be no close observer of the trend but will admit the fact that the utterly silent screen is, to say the least. passe. If the silver sheet fails to talk, these parlous times, the spectator raises his eyebrows and wonders what has per- petuated its muteness. Titles no longer will do. The characters must express themselves and the action must be heard as well as seen. There ¢an be no evading the issue further. The talkies have come to stay fora while at any rate if not to be a permanent fixture in the ornate homes of the “silent drama.” The expenditure of time, effort and money required to meet this eventuation is enormous—tremendously beyond what I had been led to believe by a remote connection with the first installation of sound ‘apparatus ever undertaken jn the Capital City. . . 2 * N the distant days when Will H. Hays speaking from the screen ] Was a novelty and the New York Philharmonic startled all who heard it from the shadows of its actual personnel by seeming almost uncannily real, it was the general belief that about all that needed to be done to make this scientific development available for immediate nse was to spread out a negotiable check in the sum of $20,000 to $30,000 in clear view of the Messrs. Warner. As a matter of fact, at that time that was about all that was necessary. But things are dif- ‘ferent now. ‘ The movie engineers have discovered that a vast number of consid- ‘erations enter into the complex problem of making the audible screen ‘worthy of the attention and support of discriminating playgoers. Acoustics do not offer the only puzzle with which they have to contend. The whole theory of theater construction needs to be taken into account and practices heretofore accepted as standard must needs be junked. Just as the movie studios have had to be refashioned to accom- modate the making of the auricular cellujoids, so must the theaters of the country be adapted to the new requirements. It has been found that ventilating systems that once were the boast of the interests that installed them are wholly impracticable now. They vibrate and rumble and roar to a degree that has a distinctly unfavor- able effect upon the proper audibility of sound and dialogue. At times it has been found possible to overcome the difficulty by a relocation of fan housing and an intricate readjustment of the théaters’ heating and ventilation. At other times it has been found that so such easy solution is possible and that the theater must be largely rebuilt in more than one of ita essential features. This is a condition that extends to many other aspects of picture presentation. Screens that were once deemed the last word in refiect- tug a perfect image, now are worthless. The treatment accorded their surfaces has been found to impair the passage of sound through the fabric and a completely new process of finishing has become a vital need.. While I do not have ecreen prices at my finger tips or even less accessible than that, I,know. that the cost is considerable and when applied to a circuit of theaters runs into money that is conspicuously important. | | Carpet is another item that to the layman no doubt seems negligible, but when it is considered that all surfaces where a footfall might be heard must be covered with some silent texture, balcony, mezzanine and orchestra, again the costs mount to a sum that is almogt prohibitive to the small exhibitor who may not have unlimited financial resources at his command. a we on % T does not é6top there. Organ lofts and chambers that may have been constructed at no mean expenditure of money and only after % cust VON STERNBERG SETS STYLE IN NEW FILM PLAY Hollywood loves to speculate. as to whether Josef Von Sternberg, who started the flood of underworld dramas, | will start another avalanche in the dl- réction of foreign costume productions with Paramount’s new film, “The Case of Lena Smith,” which he directed. Hollywood never had such a topic as Yon Sternberg's “Undervorld.” It broke records, rocketed several players to atar- dom end started the series of melo- dramas of gangland. His latest production, “The Case of Lena Smith,” which is now pleying at Loew's Palace, is set in Vienna, and Von Sternberg has given severa) eee ising ¢xtras prominent roles. ther Ralston plays the title role in this ro- mance of a peasant gir] and an Austrian officer. After directing such stars as George Bancroft and Emi] Jannings, “The Case of Lena Smith” is the director’s first production featuring a feminine pleyer. Pollowing the success of “The Salvation Hunters,” before the sensationa) “Un- derworld,” Von Sternberg was signed by Paramount as “director of photographic effects.” In spare moments Esther Ral- ston became his pupil in some added scenes for “Children of Divorce.” Those few scenes decided the director, if he ever could, to record a drama with this girl featured in a strong part. On the stage Wesley Frdy will be pre- sented in the Loew-Publix production by Gamby-Hale, “Cooling .” This ts a timely unit about the trip to the South Pole: In addition to the Palace Syncopators there are Pickard and Pal, Pel being a trained seal of unusual ability; the Wallace Sisters, singing and dancing, and the Gamby-Hale Girls in very effective and unique routines. The Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News, Harry Borjes conducting the Pal- ace Orchéstra, and Charles Gaige at the organ will augment the bill. MISS BRICE A competent engineering consultants had been called in, frequently have to be scrapped because they vitiate the effectiveness of the newest | development in the purveyance of screen entertainment. | The Stanley-Crandal]l organization, to cite an easy example, has encountered all of these obstacles in making the audible screen as pearly perfect as is mechanically possible. The aggregate cost per house far exceeds that generous first figure that contemplates only the purchase and installation of the intricate apparatus that makes it possible to project sound as well as motiun for the amusement of the public. The matter of projection, incidentally, is one of deepest moment. Tt was a surprise to me to learn that only one type of projection machine adapts itself to the complex mechanisms that comprise the talkie in- stallation. To be sure, there are only two makes of machines in gen- érai use in the more representative of the country’s motion picture the- aters, but ff the battery happens to be of the type that can not accom- modate the newer product of American inventiveness, the management ig at once confronted with an additional outlay that runs well into the » thousands of dollars. In short, the advent of the talking screen has virtually revolutionized the business of motion picture theater conduct and motion picture the- ater design. It would be pleasant and highly informative to be able to recite in actwal figures just what the Washington houses have been forced to expend to remain in the van of progressive communities where no worthy development is permitted to go by the board. Unfortunately, I have no such mathematics at my disposal, but it may be said with no fear of successful contradiction that the costs of picture marketing on “the basis of the present day’s demand have soared to levels never before known to those whose enterprise has made this one of the world-wide wonders of mass diversion. And it should be borne in mind, too, that the exhibitors have stood the gaff without recourse to the customary relief of raising admission charges. It may be that the increased attendance that the talking screen has induced amply takes care of this additional overhead. About that Ido not know. But what I do know ts that Washington is privileged to view its camera drama at price scales that are lower than in any other * vity of comparable size of which I have any sort of reliable information. > . - | HE cost of production of the articulate screen plays is another ap- T preciabie factor that enters into the broad survey of the present HIT IN FIRST SCREEN ESSAY Crowds at the Metropolitan Theater are greeting Fannie Brice in her first Vitaphone picture with enthusiasm rarely granted to stars of the speaking stage. Fannie is used to applause— Broadway has long acclaimed her—in the Ziegfeld “Follies,” in her own Be- lasco play, and in vaudeville. She is universally acknowledged to be the greatest singing comedienne of her day—yet this vocal shadow of Fan- nie catches all the magnetism of her personality. Her voice is heard as though she herself were speaking or singing. Her odd antics, her ogling eyes, unmanageable fingers and ob- streperous legs are as mirth-provoking, her excursions into tragedy as poignant as ever. “My Man,” which will be the featured screen attraction at the Metropolitan for the second week, furnished her «a story perfectly suited to her genius, too. She is shown as the oldest of three orphans in a tenement houte. Her! sister is brazen and unappreciative, but) Parinie’s time is devoted to caring for her and for the little brother. She works in a theatrical costuming fac- tory, and one day, on the way to work, is fascinated by a husky youth who is demonstrating an exerciser in a drug store window.. He later, out of a job and half-starved, forages in the leebox of Fannie’s home. She at once for- gave him, invites him to share the meal with her small brother, and falls desperately in love with him. He, rather unwillingly, is finally led into a proposal of marriage. The wedding is about to take place and Fannie is in her bridal finery when she finds he? sister in the arms of the man she 1s abcut to marry. In sudden fury she drives them out. Fanhie has often entertained work- ers at the factory with her songs, and now, through the intervention of @ friend, she has a chance to appear on the stage—and it is out of her grief estate of the cinema. Added production costs, of course, are reflected im higher rental] charges to the commercial exhibitor, so that after all is said and done the sum total of the increased burden imposed by the new order of things places an atute situation squarely before the individual oF corporation that has sunk his or theig money in the hazardous busi- ness of catering to the vacillating taste of the public in the matter of theatrical pastiming. “Now then, it seems hardly the part of sound judgment to suspect that all of these added handicaps have been assumed by the exhibitor for the : single purpose of according only a temporary importance to a transitory Whanifestation of a fickle and variant public acclaim that can not be relied upon to endure. The men engaged in an industry that has come to be one of the most imposing in the United States are not risking fortunes just to prove to themselves that the public does not know what it wants. They are making their extremely substantial investments on the assumption that sound is from this time forth an essential and indispensable accompani- ment of pictured drama. | “They are rebuilding their theaters, recasting their accounts and aban- Goning former customs for no other reason than that they perceive in * the tangible expressions of public choice a definite commitment on the _-B side of the sound and dialogue picture. _.

Warner, president of Warner Bros., announced this week the ap- pointment of Gus Schiesinger to one of the most important poste in the Warner organization. Mr. Schlesinger will be general manager of all the War- ner enterprises in Europe, a position }in the foreign field that is second to ,none in executive responsibility. Under the jurisdiction of Warner's ambassador extraordinary will come the Europesn distribution of all pictures released by Warner Bros., First National and Vitephone, as well as supervision of National Films A. G., of Berlin, and the Vitaphone Studio opening soon in that eity. Gus Schiesinger established the for- eign department for Warner Bros. seven years ago when appointed general man- ager for Europe, and his elevation to the all inclusive general European man- agement of the Warner enterprises is ® mark of the firm’s appreciation of the spiendid work he has accomplished to this time. The | speculation in Hollywood at present is Esther Ralston in “The Case of Lena Smith” —Palace. ‘CONCERNING A YOUNGSTER BY | NAME OF PAGE Buddy Page, the newly imported master of ceremonies at the Fox The- ater, is truly a youngster, admitting 1905 as the year of his birth. What is more, he admits that event took place on a farm and that also he was once a Gus Edwards protege. Through the migration of his family, young Buddy went to school in Plain- field, N. J., with most of the educating confined to music—he loved it and everything else was just so much time wasted. At 16 Buddy had his own orchestra and became overnight a vaudeville headliner. This was broken up when his parents put in an official objection and sent Buddy back to school. Stick- ing it out until graduating, young Page immediately went back to the etage, this time as an accompanist for a well- known singing star. It was while on this engagement that he was selected to lead one of the picture theater orchestras in Chicago. A scout of the Balaban and Katz in- terests “caught” Buddy, and another master of ceremonies was born. From Chicago he migrated to Philadelphia where he remained six months and then to the Fox Theater here in Washington. He likes Washington and hopes to stay here indefinitely. Oe eae Scene Fro “The Trail of ’98’ —Columbia. AMBASSADOR TO PRESENT SOUND PICTURES ALSO Beginning with today’s performance, the Ambassador Theater will present the outstanding talking and sound pictures now on the market. Equip- ment necessary for the presentation cf audible features has already been in- stalled under the direction of, John J. Payette, supervisor of the ‘Stanley- Crandall theaters, and the Ambassador, which was chosen as the second of the residential theaters of this Washington chain to install the equipment, will offer as its first sound program on Sunday and Monday the Warner Bros. Vitaphone production, “On Trial.” a 100 per cent all-talking picture, which earlier in the season enjoyed a tre- mendously successful run at Cranda)l’s Metropolitan and was acclaimed as one of the best talking pictures ever pre- sented in a Washington theater. Peatured in “On Trial” are Pauline Frederick, Bert Lytell and Lois Wilson, and in support are Holmes Herbert, Jason Robards, Richard Tucker, John- my Arthur, Vendell Darr, Franklin Pagborn, Edmund Breese and Edward Martindel, all of whom are heard as — as seen in this excellent produc- on. For the second sound program of the week another Warner Bros. Votaphone production which has scored a tremen- dous hit wherever shown will be pre- sented on the Ambassador screen. Al Jolson, in “The Singing Fool,” will be the attraction. In this film he is sup- ted by Betty Bronson and Josephine mn in the featured female roles and Reed Howes, Arthur Houseman, David Lee and Edward Martindel in the male. In “The Singing Fool’? A! Jolson plays the part of a singing waiter who falls in love with a fair entertainer at a night club. He marries her, only to be deserted later. The story is moving and beautiful and is shot through with all the ragzle-dazzie of big town show life. It is in this production that Jol- son is heard singing the two song hits which have scored so great a success, namely, “Sonny Boy’ and “There's a Rainbow Roun’ My Shoulder.” A Tuttle Mystery.

O’BRIEN A COP IN “BLINDFOLD,” NEW FOX FILM Again in a strong, handsome and heroic role, George O’Brien will be seen in the Fox production of “Blind- fold,” now at the Fox Theater. This time George is a policeman, a role he long has wanted to play. This actor should know his policemen, hav- ing been reared in the shadows of the San Francisco police station. His father is chief of pdlice there. “The average citizen,” George said when production of the film started, “looks upon @ cop as a necessary evil —the kind that talks out of the cor- ner of his mouth and indulges jn thea- tricalism in his ‘pinches.’ I want to show him as I know him—a good sol- dier obeying his superiors, and offer- ing his body as a buffer between you and the rough side of life. “My father is much interested in this role of mine and is assisting me in my interpretation. Police work is his one fad in life, and naturally he is anxious that I give the real ‘low down’ on police methods.” The leading feminine role in “Blind- fold” is played by the petite Lois Moran of “Stella Dallas” and Fox Films studio fame. Others include Earle Foxe, Fritz Feld and two new Fox finds, Don Terry and Maria Albe. a The story was directed by Charles Kleia and written for the screen by that teller of vivid tales, Charles Fran- els Coe. The stage portion of the program will be a musical revue, “Gaities of 1929,” and will mark the second wéek for Buddy Page, the newly imported and versatile master of ceremonies. Others will be the Mississippi Misses; Ruth Hamilton, the dainty dancing Foxettes and several others of equal prominence in Broadway productions. The overture will be in the 8 motif, “Espana,” by Chabrier, with a “b” number intreducing Mariam Lax, recent singing star of “Princess Flavia,” “Artists and Models” and “Night in Paris.” Miss Lax will sing “Song of Songs. ’e Movietone News, presenting Fox world events in sound and moton will round out the program. Holding Lead. The wide margin of lead obtained by Warner Brothers through their pioneer- ing in the talking picture field is be- ing easily held by them. Sam E. Mor- ris, vice president, points out that while other companies are offering one, or at most a few talki pictures to thelr customers, Warner are now booking 31 Vitaphone —— with dialogue and that 14 more are ready at their studio for early release.

A UNIQUE BILL PRESENTED FOR HOUSE OPENING Life blood of the imperial German army has literally been soaked up by the celluloid in the UFA film “Behind the German Lines,” whiclr-has been sé- cured by the Little Theater for its in- augural showing under the new msén- agement which allies it with the Fifty- fifth Street Playhouse of New York City, the home of the Little Theater movement throughout the country. The filming af this epic is no aftere- thought of the war, the actual assign- ment having beer given to over 100 men by the imperial German govern- ment on the day the great war was started. As the original cameramen were killed, their machines were sgal- vaged and their places taken by others. Over one-fourth of the men who made these pictures were killed. This is the first time this country is offered the opportunity of seeing the story as told by the vanquished. Actual pictures showing some of the combats of Baron Manfred von Rich- tofen, Known to the A. E. F. as the “Red Knight.” are replete with action and color. The Red Knight was one of his country’s greatest warriors, down- ing 85 enemy planes and killing thou- sands of his enemies. The war scenes are alive with action. although the heart interest is more sin- cere than any staged picture could ever hope to be. Some of the oldest pictures ever taken fill out the interesting first program. The Little Theater movement has éz- ploited this idea and, in accordanée with its policy, present “Killing the Killer,” the vivid story of a mongoose and a cobra, together with what is now &@ comedy, tut what was a stark tragedy fifteen years ago when the pic- ture was filmed.

FLASHBACKS AND FADEOUTS | Colleen Moore has become an expert on skiis since her visit to Yosemite .Valley, where she was snowbound for several days. She has returned to Hollywood to prepare for her next pic- ture, a college story. Billie Dove has completed “The Man and the Moment,” the Elinor Glyn story, and is enjoying a vacation in Southern California. Her next picture to be directed by John Francis Dillon, will have a foreign locale. Gound-proof booths, where dogs and children who are working in the pic- ture can be “parked” while the sound sequences are made, are being used on “The Squall” set by Director Alexan- -der Korda. Thelma Todd, who has played in three mystery stories, the latest being “The House of Horrors,” has invented a card game called “mystery solitaire.” It is best enjoyed at midnight in all the haunted houses. - Josef von Sternberg will direct Geo Bancroft’s next Paramount Tasting production, “Thunderbolt,” to be filmed in full dialogue and in 6i- lent form. Von Sternberg directed Ban- croft in “Underworld” and “The Drag Net.” Nacio Herb Brown, who composed the music for “The Broadway lMelody,” new all-talking film which had its New York premiere at the Astor, and Arthur Freed, who wrote the lyrics for the song numbers, have each signed new long-term contracts with Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer. The indications are that Marie Pre- vost is about to say good-by to Holly- wood for a while, and go to England to make a picture or two. From Lon- don:town comes word that E. A. Dupont is anxious to make a production with Miss Prevost. The contract will be it is said, as soon as Dupont finds a sultable story. Warwick Deeping, who wrote “Sor- rell & Son,” has given another of his interesting books to the screen, It is called “Kitty.” and hds just been filmed in London with Estelle Brody in the leading role by Victor Saville, who was ble for “A Woman in the Night.” “Kitty” was made on the Thames, a few miles outside of London. Capt. John Loder, the young English leading man brought to this country by Famous Players, played one of the leads -in “The First Born” just before coming to America. This is the picture in which Miles Mander, famous German artist, has the star role and also di- rected. It was made in England and will be brought to America by World Wide Pictures. Young Loder is the son of Gen. Lowe, a British officer of prom- inence. Tt looks as though Norman Kerry is going to England again to make a few pictures for British International, whose productions are imported to this coun- try by World Wide Pictures. Kerry’s daughter is attending schoo) near Lon- don. He made Sir Hall Caine’s “The Bondman” there recently, and seemed to like it so much that he said on his return he intended to go back as soon as possible.

ANOTHER SOUND NEWS IS READY FOR LAUNCHING Universal announces that it is al- most ready to release an entirely new and unusual kind of sound newsreel. It will be called the Universal Movie- tone News and will embody novel fea- tures, making it unique. Dally release schedules, color and other innovat.sons are planned. Sam B. Jacobson, veteran newspaper and publicity man, has been designated to handle the organization and production of the new venture. This announcement, coming from Carl Laemmlé, president of Universal, follows months of consideration and intensive experimentation, during which many steps have been taken in the organization for handling the new enterprise Universal's world-wide dis- tributing organization has been found to be of mestimable value in the de- velopment of this news reel system. Universal maintains more than 100 key offices, distributed over the _ entire globe. The Universal Movietone News will be made under the Western Electric license. The first recording apparatus to be delivered to Universal under this arrangement will be turned over to the picture company next week. Additional equipment is scheduled to be received by Universal at an early date Jacobson has been in the East for six weeks perfecting the new sound-ree] organization and aranging for its pro- duction. He formerly was West Coast public.ty director for Universal. More recently he conceived and produced the well known Laemmle Novelties. a series of short subjects introducing a new technique in single reel entertainment. This series is now enjoying cousiderable vogue among first run theaters and is regarded by Universal as one of the best short subject selies if has made in a long time. Jacobson’s knowledge of production and organization resulted in his selection for the sound news- reel post. Universal regards itself as a logical producer of this new release. Carl Laemmle was one of the first to recog- nize the value of sound pictures, launch.ng synchronized pictures twenty years ago, although mechanical diffi- culties finally doomed the venture. He also was one of the first picture pro- ducers to issue a newsreel, putting out the old Universal Animated Weekly and the Universal Current Events in the pioneer days of the newereel end of the industry. Upon the recent re- vival of sound pictures his was the honor of making the first full length Movietone 100 per cent talking feature. The Universal Movietone News will carry a subsidiary title, “The Talk of the World.” The executive staff under Jacobson at the Universal home office includes Harry Mack, formerly mana- ger of Broadcast Station WMCA, as as- sistant; Harold Lew.s, one of the out- standing talk-film engineers, as sound expert, with Moward Dillinger as as- veteran newsreel and production cameraman, as Chief camera man.

And, lest he grow just a little homesick for old- gan figures in the musical background. In Skilled Hands, Edward Royce, director of about a hundred musical shows in England and America, including “Kid Boots,” “The Follies of 1921” and, mor: recently, “Rio Rita,” is producing this first fol- lies of the talking-singing screen at the new Movietone studio recently built by Fox. Time will tell whether entertain- ment on the follies scale can be repro- duced successfully on the screen, but with a man of Royce’s reputation in charge of the production the attempt is bound to be interesting. Material Plentiful. Follies material is more plentiful in Hollywood than in New York, according to Royce. One of his best performers, he says, is a girl he found here; a youngster, strange to Broadway and also néw to the films. He expects his musical picture to “make” not only this newcomer but several others. The actress who plays the ingenue role, however, will need no introduction to picture-goers. She is Lois Moran, who was a professional dancer before she went into pictures. Siren’s Sister Talks, Lori Bara, sister of the famous Theda, is in the talkfes now. She played in the first of a series of short dialogue comedies filmed in the old Charles Ray studio by Anthony J. Xydias, an inde- pendent producer. It is called “We're in Vaudeville Now.” Granddad Wiasches. Grant Withers, who is’ now being featured by Warner's in “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” will have a strict critic on his next role—that of reporter in “Headlines”—and this critic will be none other than his grand- father. Grant is the grandson of G. G. Withers, veteran publisher of Colorado, who at present resides in Pueblo. Needless to say, Mr. Withers has watched with interest the steady climb of this leading man whom Warner’s have placed under contract, and now he can anticipate seeing Grant starred in a film with familiar surroundings. Crespo’s First. Jose Crespo, the attractive young Spaniard who is portraying one of the three lovers of Lois Moran in “Joy Street,” is making his first appearance opposite an Amreican star. In Europe and South America Crespo played Shakespearean roles and was first juve- nile in Benavente and Sierra dramas (Catalina Barcena was his leading woman). Since arriving in Hollywood, Jose has been cast in films and plays with foreign atmosphere, so this is fashioned movie trimmings, a pipe or- | really his first part with a lodale in a | Dlack’s rag. “Most of the characters I play are men of hard-botled thoughts ,and vile language. Muchof their convensation would be unprintable. How are you going to get my pictures past the cen- sors if I talk my parts? “Anyway, mystery thrives on silence. I've built my reputation in silence. Why should I tear it all down by breaking the silence?” ee te Good-by, Heroine. ‘ In his own way, however, Chaney will do something even more unique than a talkie. After his present pro- duction, “Where East Is East,” is com- pleted he will begin work on a film W. O. W.; that is, without women in the cast. Some will say it should be easy enough to make a talk-less pic- ture without women. Be that as it may, in “Where East Is East” there are several women, among them Estelle Taylor, whose sinister make-up as an Oriental vamp rivals some of Chaney's own achievements. Comic Constancy, Speating of pictures without women, Harold Lloyd has come about as close to using none at all as any-star in the industry. Since Bebe Daniels became his leading woman in one-reel comedies, thirteen years ago, Lloyd has played opposite only four other girls—Mildred Davis, Jobyna Ralston, Ann Christy and (in his current production) Barbara Kent. Such constancy in make-believe is decidedly unusual. Even in real life some people change heroines oftener than thr-*. - Ralli Dances On. Paul Ralli, young player who hails |° from Isle of Cyprus, is one’ of Hollywood’s favorite dancing partners | played with the late Robert Harron, this vivacious little Irish actress has become one of the screen’s most pop- ular persohalities, with a bank account that came from enjoyment she has furnished millions of people through- oug the world. The disappointments that occur in even the most successful careers have had their place in Colleen’s motion picture experience, yet she believes the bitterest moment of her life came when the director spoke :caustically of her awkwardness in the. projection room of the old Fine Arts Studio on Sunset boulevard. However, the pleasure Colleen is de- riving from her new home is more than compensating her for the discourage- ment and disappointments she experi- enced on the way to screen prominence, and she needs but little encouragement to launch into an enthusiastic descrip- tion of the three acres of Paradise her success has brought. } The manner in which she became in- terested in her new home is interesting. She was driving about the district look- ing for a suitable spot upon which to bulld a Spanish home she had in mind, when she was startled to see the outline of her imaginary castle before her in solid concrete, timber and plaster. A Chicago capitalist, C. Pred Stewart, had started construction of a 14-room dwelling as a residence for himself upon a three-acre site on St. Pierre road, a short distance north of Beverly Boulevard. Strangely enough, Stew- art’s ideas on a homie coincided almost exactly with those of Colleen, and, after walking through the half-com- and he is finding this a great asset In| @ his new part in “Joy Street.” the cur- | ‘ rent Raymond Cannon production at | Fox, for this gay crowd is going on a series of whoopee parties via the eyes of the camera.

It has long been the ambi-| g Me = ‘tion of the two large chains, each of | ee which have many times had the honor ‘of presenting the President. to trans- smit the voice of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge ‘to the radio listeners of the country. ‘And it has been a great disappointment to listeners not to have had the oppor- funity to hear her. - But if the broadcasters are looking. ‘toward the new mistress of the White | “House with the belief that a hitherto | impossible feat will be made easier, they may realize that this is not so robable when they consider the fact hat Mrs. Herbert Hoover is known to) Shave broadcast only one time. This was | diuring a morning Congressional Club! rogram a year or so ago. ‘Coolidge can not be attributed to a dis- like of the radio, becaus she is known to have derived enjoyment from listen- | 3ng to programs, but rather goes back 4o the fact that the First Lady is never | expected to make a sét speech. * Hoped to Broadcast Mrs. Coolidge. . ' Several times broadcasters have hoped that Mrs. Coolidge would change ther mind or that the barrier would in some way be removed, and their hopes have soared when permission was given them to broadcast ceremonies at which | % Mrs. Coolidge was to be present. One rticular occasion which comes to d was the laying of the corner @tone of the Young Women’s Christian Association building in Washington, May 24, 1926. Mrs. Coolidgé readily ac- tepted the invitation of the association to lay the corner stone but with the Stipulation that the formal words Which she spoke in connection there- | with should not be a part of the cere- fiony sent over the ether. + More recently the broadcasters were dazzied by the thought that they tght te able to give the country a ® few words from Mrs. Coolidge when at ay the White House she presented a medal won in a national singing contest to Miss Hazel ¢€. Arth, of Washington. Again, however, their wishes were doomed and the presentation was not heard over the radio. It was all the more disappointing to the broadcasters to have to relinquish e idea of putting the voice of Mrs. oolidgg on the air because she is known to be the real radio fan in the Bousehold. It is well established that years ago Mrs. Coolidge took up Listen- ing to the radio but failed to interest Mr. Coolxige in its entertainment offer- ings. It was not until later when Mr. Coolidge came to see the extensive uses to which the device could be put and : os Ri oF OH» Sa | | Miss Beatrice Harrison, the English cellist, wearing a gown presented | to her by Empress Eugenie.

As Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Hoover found that radio control was under his jurisdiction. And he has |probably been as much responsible for the rapid growth of program broad- casting, as we know it today, as one individual could be.

There is no need to enlarge on their charming person- alities here. Both are too well known.

Radio Store, 618 F St. | ' | | | “THE LISTENER’S VIEWPOINT | Has Had KLCN Ten Times. To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: I am writing you in reference to your article appearing in The Post con- cerning Blytheville radio station. Let me tell you who I am first. I am a retired member of the United States Marine Band. I had never touched a receiving set with my hends until I bought a No. 28 Bosch with a No. 60 magnetic speaker (Ferrand) on October 15 last. Having nothing elise to do I sat up nights untill 4 8. m. from November 11 when the new allo- cation of stations went into effect until February 1. During that time I have logged 201 stations. Of these, 29 are distant over’ 1,000 miles from Washing- ton. Including these 29 I have logged 100 stations distant over 500 miles from Washington. I have had con- firmation from Portland, Oreg., Long Beach., Calif., Brownsville, Tex., Char- lottetown, P. E. I., Canada and all and any to whom I cared to report a full description of their programs as received by me. Now I regret to notice that there is a tendency to make of the tion of KLON from Blytheville, Ark., a rare and startling event. I have listened to the announcer at that station on at least ten different nights until I con- sidered him a nuisance as he said the same thing over and over again and entirely blotted out my reception. of KDYL from Salt Lake City 4nd KTSA from San Antonio, Tex., which stations I love to hear. His song was continu- ally, “Won’t some one in New York City please wire or phone us how our pro- gram is coming through?” I grew so tired of his nightly song about New York City that I wrote and told him that we, here in the Nation's Capital, did not think so very much of New York City as we considered our city the real center of importance in this fair land. He broadcast one night as follows: “I am afraid our program is not going through as well as we could wish, as it is raining and sleeting so our antenna is encased in ice and the city electric lights are fading and dim from the storm,” He was so good as to write me a letter in rep.y to mine, which I am sending to you. Now you seé I have disposed of that contention that unusually good weather conditions must have prevailed at the time his stuff came through the air. Now as to the other fallacy, that the air is clear after 1 a. m. There is no night that I can not get twenty separate stations that are going at the same time after 1 o’clock a. m.

To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: It is with pleasure that I see you have again inaugurated another dis-« tance reception competition. I think jt is such competition as this which puts spirit and pep into “twirling the dials.” As last year’s leader in Washington, I see by the paper I am listed with 491 stations. I wish to write that by the end of the year and the inauguration of the new wave lengths, I had re- ot tm 572 stations for distance recep- on. I have not been able, as yet, to try out the new allotment of wave lengths as all of my time lately has been utilized by school work. It is with regret that I will not be able to off any competition with my Pada for some }time, As soon as school work slackens down some, I am sure I shall begin te step out and begin working in earnést. what I have heard, the new al- lotment’ is working out just wonder- fully and it should allow e + greater advantage to compete for new laurels in the line of distance re¢ , In closing, I want to wish my radio friends, Hal Smith and E. G. , luck and plenty of new stations in fighting off outside competition im: their distance reception, T. A. YINGLING. 714 Nineteenth street northwest. February 10. A Plea for Old Folks. : To the Radio Editor of The Post—Sir: I do not know who makes up the daily program for the radio entertainments, but would like to make a suggestion. ] speak for myself but feel assured I speak the sentiments of many other old people who find much enjoyment by listening-in. My suggestion is that they occasionally give us a littlé serious music and less of the jazz kind. Young people are not’ the only enes. who de- light in the radio, and while I know the young wants music which makes their feet go pit-a-pat, they should not be selfish and deny to us old folks a little of the kind we like. We have grown old in years, and our fond memory goes back to the songs of old days, and to the music we loved when we were young. That alone is not the reason why we would rejoice to hear some serious music. With increasing age we have grown serious. Our thoughts dwell on sérious things, and take it as you will, there is no better music, more heart stirring songs than | those of the old days. So, please, oc- casionally give us some of it. .

USED BY OVER 40,000, 000 Radio is rapidly attaining the mag- nitude of a billion dollar industry, Bond P. Geddes, of New York City. executive vice president of the Radio Manufacturers Association, declared in an eddress at the annual convention of the Federated Radio Trade Association, a national organization of radio jobbers and dealers. - The magical growth of the radio in- dustry, virtually only six years old, was sketched by Mr. Geddes. Sales of radio products last year reached the peak of $650,000,000, more than 10 times those of 1922, according to Mr. Geddes, while manufacturers are planning to in crease their output this fear from 20 ‘per cent to 50 per cent. Six years ago the radio audience was about 75,000 persons, while the Ameri- can audience today is over 40,000,000, and soon, the radio distributors’ con- vention was told, the radio audience “will be world-wide with the approach- ing interchange, across-the-oceans, of broadcast programs.” Some slogan such as “Radio Richens Your Home,” or “Radio Really Is Free as Air,” was suggested by Mr. Geddes as a need of the radio industry. Detailing the widespread and ever- broadening uses of radio, in which about 300,000 persons are employed in manufacturing and 30,000 in distribu- tion of radio products, Mr. Geddes said that although radio products estimated at $2,500,000,.000 had been manufac- tured since 1922, there was no “satu- ration” point in sight. “Last year alone over 2,500,000 new modern receiving sets went into American homes,” said Mr. Geddes. “Our radio exports were $12,000,000 as compared with $2,800,000 in 1922. “Saturation talk is all wet. From Uncle Sam we learn that there are 28,000,000 homes in the United States. Of these about 9,000,000 have radios, of some sort, variety or description, but of these 9,000,000 homes less than 3,000,000, less than one-third, have modern electric radios. So, of the 28,- 000,000 American homes we have less than 3,000,000 who really “know and enjoy modern radio, who are enjoying the electric age of radio as against the old tallow dip age of a few years ago.” WMAQ Audience Says **No’’ to Installment Chicago, Feb. 23 (A.P.).—Radio lis- | teners may buy their own sets on the | installment plan, yet WMAQ’s audience | apparently opposes further extension of | installment buying. Their attitude was reflected in a vote following a debate between teams of Kent College of Law and Coe College.

. wise, so fhat Reexamination of Drivers Called Remedy for Unfit Connecticut Motor Vehicle Commissioner Sees in Plan Certain Means of Weeding Out Worthless Operators of Automobiles; Legislative Action Expected. Meexamination of motor vehicle op- erators offers an effective means of weeding out the worthless driver, in the opinion of Robbins B. Stoeckel, Connecticut motor vehicle commis- sioner, as expressed in a discussion of the State’s proposal to reexamine all of its drivers. | Pointing out that the governor of the State has recommended the move, Commissioner Stoeckel says that “the general idea is to set some reasonaole time during which people may be sup- posed to change and to assume that at the end of that time it .s fair to _ Buppose that in the natural course of « @vents the person has changed enough in his qualities, through age or other- he ought to be re- examined.” “This plan,” Commissioner Stoeckel continues, “may be open to criticism, that motor vehicle operators ought not to become worse as they gain added ex- perience with and added knowtedge of the problem, and that the general plan gs outlined is directed against a large of performers as well as _,. body ~ against the bad performers. “However, if it can be accompilshed and done throughly along the line of the governor’s recommendation, cer~- tainly Connecticttt. will be the first State to weed out all of its incapables If a reexamination of everybody could ’ he had and thereafter a policy adopted ‘by which every person who committed ..Y Bny offense whatever was at once re- examined by a high-grade examiner capable of studying human character- ‘tstics and under the direction of expert » ~advice as to how to detect mental im- > * 7 fore ~gre making most of the trouble would tions, it would not be long be- the 12 persons of the 100 who large degree ted and to a Ab srt It may be well ‘eliminated from traffic. to remark that there are still 3 per- gons out af the 100 to account for. They are of the criminal type and it “48 not intended to deal with them here.” Legislative Action Expected. Commissioner Stoeckel says that {it may be expected that something will be done in the legislature about re- examination. Plans for the practical application of the recommendations are to be thoroughly thrashed about “and it seems probable that reexamina- tion in some form or other will he made within a year or two.” “In the consideration of any improp- er or imperfect action on the part of 4 motor vehicle operator or a pedestrian, | one looks for defects in operation or performance, when actually the real reason why emergencies arise and acci- dents happen is far deeper,’ Commis- sioner Stoeckel points out in discussing the whole problem in greater detazl. “It is not to be found in what ap- on the surface. The character of each person in whose conduct such 4 defect appears is the true test which will tell whether or not a man will or will not make a good motor vehicle cation, and that *s the reason why advance has not been made in applica This criterion is difficult of i ‘traffic safety programs. “So far we have arrived at two con- clusions. The first, that the members of the public will not accept safety as auch, will not themselves do the regu- latory acts and insist upon the cautious cafe 80 necessary unless they are trapped into it. The second, that to trap them into it an argument of con- venience for their smmediate purposes of pleasure or business is mecessary. For example, if it be possible to make a traffic plan simple enough and easy enough to produce the result that each aitizen will be able to go from place to place faster and with less annoyance, | then it stands to reason more people | will make use of it. When such a plan has proven its convenience, the people who use :t will then submit to almost | any safety reguation which traffic authorities may impose. “It. begins to appear as a broad con- clusion that in order to make the pres- ent traffic situation better and safer a]! of the efforts of every expert ought to be directed at once toward better traf- fic control. This means more conveni- ent travel back and forth to work and to play, so that the public, upon whom ain the end any great movement for betterment must depend, wil! be well served and because it is well served will consent to the other items of reg- ulation which are purely for safety. New York’s New System. “The most recent and best example of what is meant is Commissioner Whalen’s attempt to handle traffic in ‘New York. New York traffic, as a rule, from the standpoint of the motor op- erator at least, is not unusually dan- gerous. It is so dense that everybody who has participation im it, unless he 1§ a criminal or wilfully reckless, is under a strain to Jook out all the time, and the combined care of everybody preserves safety. So probably this par- ticular activity in the theater district of New York is not based on the prin- ciple of safety essentially in the back- ground, but is a movement toward con- venience. Yet it can be easily realized that if it does prove to be, as the writer has faith that it will, if prop- erly done, an easier way to go and come to the theater for thousands and thousands of people, it will then be possible to make such safety restric- tions as may be proper in connection with that traffic. “The acme of performance which must be attained before traffic runs pafely and well includes the carrying out of well-Known rules and regula- tions by the persons involved, whether or not there is a policeman watching. And yet, with all of our emergencies end ell of our advanced ideas and understanding, and we rate ourselves the most intelligent nation in the World, it is still necessary to have a policeman watch almost every corner, even though automatic traffic direction is lied. It is a fair conclusion that fundamentally we are a people so t and so free in our ordi- mary activities from police supervision that we have learned to rely upon our- ecives to serve our own convenience first though the convenience of others may be disregarded. man will steal by the traffic light intended for his own safety, as | we began to realize this that our courts and make the penalties for such of- dered argued that it is un- t© & motorist to have « plain . It ts sort anyway, and no one a detective may be watching him éxpecting him to com- mit an inadvertence or slight offense so that he can arrest him. But how can the _ principle of government through moral suasion be better served in connection with traffic sig- nals than to leave them unguarded by uniformed policemen and have, for a time at least, a plain clothes person watch and discipline offenders? In that way within a very short time all traffic devices would be heeded by every one, for in the mind of the operator each person standing around would be a potential detective. Critical Analysis Needed. “It has long been the fashion, and still is, to find fault with and try to correct the traffic situation through discipline of the person who makes an error. There is no other way to go at it than to start with the offender, but the attitude of the speculative mind toward the situation question and consider not only nega- tive qualities, meaning those qualities which make for imperfect driving, but also the positive ones. It has not been fashionable to consider that portion of the operating rank and file which suc- ceeds in getting through its problems without trouble. It is time that this fashion changed and a critical analysis made, so far as can be, of those qual- ities of mind and performance which allow a man or woman to succeed in driving well. “Of course, this whole subject goes back again to the old theory of char- acter and personality. It may be well to restate. The mind of each operator is the directing force which runs the body. The arms and legs which ac- tually perform the mechanical func- tions are secondary. Almost anybody has good enough arms and legs to suc- cessfully drive a car if the car jis built to fit. It is pretty hard to tell by look- ing at a man what kind of a mind he has and how he will probably act in any emergency. “Twenty years ago if ten men were standing around where an accident calling for a rescue occurred one or possibly two might have had the neces- sary initiative to start doing something at once. It would take some time to wake the others to the fact that. help was needed. How could any one look- ing at that imaginary line of men tell which two would respond first? Now- adays the writer has faith that the whole ten would immediately respond, but in differing degrees of promptness, such is the effect of progres ive living. Out of every 100 men 85 can and do respond quickly and successfully to every situation which arises in the course of their operation. Out of the remaining fifteen, twelve are of the type apt to have slight lapses called distractions or inattentions. This means that the minds of those twelve are of the type so observant of extra- neous happenings and so out of con- trol of that part of the normal being called—the soul, perhaps, that the temporary lapse coming unexpectedly and at a time when a slight emergency also occurs an accident is the result. These twelve are the persons who must be detected and kept off the road be- fore anything happens.” i socnataendhaieaeenadinieaieitiamtiaiiameteimainene ine | r f | ‘ ! ? | } | - THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1929. i 7 As, ont Be ree “2 + ites P So Oe ee } * | which directs the mind, whatever it is! is bound to take | “SAS SaeS in the other side of this important a ee F With the elements such uncertain quantities at this season, the car that is open one day and snugly closed the next is in especial favor.

Getting Filter Facts, ‘Experience, no doubt, is teacher and justly deserving of the reputation it enjoys. Just the same, nv one, especially the woman motorist, Should ever look the advantages of curios:ty when it comes to acquiring knowledge. In the exercise of her curi- a great osity the woman motor car owner en-| joys a peculiar advantage over the more vigorous sex, I believe. This is due to her determination to continue unceasingly her quest for information. The other day I got curious with reference to a number of thmgs about the car. So, to get the correct an- swers, I headed the car in the direction of the service station “I want to know something,” I greet- ed the foreman. “Maybe I can help you, if tt is about your car,” he replied. “All right, then,” I said, “tell me what the oil filter does and how it does it.” “As you know,” he began, “it filters the oil. Now, filter*ng is merely strain- ing, Just as in making jelly you strain the fruit to get the juice. In filtering oil, it is strained to get out the solid substances.” “There we are,” I cut in. “ln strain- ing jelly the solid substances are the rind and the pulp of the fruit. are they in the case of engine lubri- cating o11?” “A number of things.

Some filters, of course, have straining elements that can be cleaned.

The big point about them, in this connection, is that they don't do anything to the liqufd ‘foreign sub- stances’ that get into the oil—the gaso- line and water. “In winter, the liquids tn the oil do more harm than the solids.

This esti- mate is made by E. P. Blanchard, statistician and general chairman of the production division of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Of this sum, $5,400,000,000, it is figured, will be spent for «utomobiles and trucks; 81,200,000,000 for acces- eories and replacement parts. The total unit production of motor cars and trucks for 1929 is placed at 6,000,000, The average retail price is estimated at $900 a car. “Tires, gasoline and replacement parts, which make up the basic op- erating cost of automobiles, cost the public $4,122,000,000 in 1928," Mr. Blanchard says. “Approximately $2,172,- 000,000 was épent for gasoline, $1,000,- 000,000 for tires, and 8950,000,000 for replacement parts. The total spent for automobiles themselyes in 1928 we es- timate at $4,153,000,000. Consequently, the amount spent by the public for operating and maintenance of automo- biles last year about equaled the amount spent for the year’s purchases of new cars. “The rapidly increasing purchasing power of the public has been an im- portant factor in the increase in the number of cars bought annually. An even more important’ factor, however, has been the steadily decreasing retail’ cost of automobiles and trucks. This decrease has been made possible chiefly because of astonishing developments made in high-speed, multiple ma- chinery for the manufacture of auto- mobiles. Cost production of single parts of automobiles has been decreased by as much as 50 per cent in many in- stances. The reflected savings to the manufacturer have been handed on to the consumer and have made it pos- sible for persons with a fixed income to buy automobiles who could not think of their purchase a few years ago. “It is interesting to note the relation of the amount of money spent for au- tomobiles to the amount of the coun- try’s income. The 1928 gross income was estimated at $90,000,000. Of this it is estimated that $15,000,000,000 was surplus income, ConseqOently, with the automobile and bill for 1928 placed 35,1 000, the public spent approximately 33 per cent, of its surplus income for aeeten vehicles. “A more accurate picture of the im- portance of the automobile in the fam- ily budget, however, is obtained when to the total cost of a and parts is added the cost of gasoline and tires purchased. Compilations just completed for these items show that the public paid about $3,172,000,000 for gasoline last year, and about '§1,000,- 000,000 for replacement tires, or » total for these commodities of §3,172,000,000, This, added to the total for eutemo- biles and parts, makes a grand tote] of $8,275,500,000, or roughly, 55 per cent of the country’s s us income. “Adding the 1938 gasoline and tire cost to the actual automobile and cost of $6,600,000,000, as estimated for 1929, it will be seen that the = will spend something in excess of $10,- 000,000,000 for’\automobiles and the things that th ulre | coming year.” 7 on curing the Scenic Enlargements Of Park Are Planned Enlargement of Lassen Volcanic Na- tional Park in Northern Califernis by the inclusion of more than 28.000 acres of additional land, is reported.

Ne TRUSTY WATCHDDES . BETTER AIDS TO CAR Oil Filter, Crankcase Ventila- tor and Thermostat Guard Automobile’s Oil. BIG HELP ON COLD DAYS Three engineering developments which play a highly important role in edding thousands of miles vo the lives of many modern motor cars are the oil filter, the crankcase ventilator and the thermostat controlling the circula- tion of water through the cooling sys- tem. That these three “trusty v-atchdogs of engine performance” assume a new importance in cold weather is pointed out by research engineers of the Stude- baker organization, who show that when the thermometer hovers about the zero mark the conditions of engine operation are more severe by far than wnder weather conditions noted during other seasons. All three devices, the engineers say, combine to serve one purpose, that of guarding the oil, which is the blood stréam of the motor’s life. The first watchdog is the oi! filter. Often small specks of carbon, tiny metal scrapings too small to be caught by the ordinary oil screen, or other impufities get into the crankcase. Through the action of the filter many of these impurities are removed from the oll flow and never tted to reach the vital parts. ‘The oil filter thus cleanses the lubri- cant, maintaining a steady flow of pure. oil to cylinders, bearings and the pipes through which it is pumped. But it can not prevent the development of an- other source of trouble which used to raise havoc with the engine—namely, ol] dilytion. The crankcase ventilator is the rem- edy for that, it is pointed out. One of the inevitable aoescgp wage — operation is the presence in the crank- case of a certain amount of gasoline vapor which escapes down past the : This vapor and others which develop as a consequence of the ex- tremely high temperatures of engine ° have a tendency to condense. If this occurs to any great extent the ’ lubricating quality of the oll is af- fected, and water and sulphur com- pounds may ferm in the crankcase and exercise a corroding effect on the bearings and other parte of the motor. Thus it is important to provide some means for carrying off these vapors before they condense and start their destructive work. ‘The crankcase ven- _ rr ee ee ee ee Among Us Motorists Discussing Those Matters That Concern Us All By WILLIAM ULLMAN Car Design Has Now Advanced to the Point Where They Cover Up the Scar Left by the Hand Crank. THE WASHINGTON, POST: | | Fitted More Perfectly. | Only the superficial observer can ac- cuse the motor car maker of falling to tallor his product so that it con- forms perfectly with the conditions under which it operates. This has been the case for the past five years. It is truer than ever in 1929. By way of illustration, take the question of parking. There may be no less parking space, but there seems *o be less with so many more cars in service. The motor car maker appears to be one of the few individuals who is doing anything about the situation. He is contributing, with the idea of removing some of the Irritation from present conditions, a car that is easier to This. too, despite the fact that the car is larger. A car with a smaller turning radius, greater steering reduction, and a steer- ing mechanism that operates with much less consumption of energy— that is the way he has tailored his product to fit the conditions it en- counters. To meet the conditions that call for more frequent stops, he nas provided better brakes and lightning acceleration. Thus, if the car owner is forced to stop oftener, he picks up part of the lost time in the form of quicker stopping and quicker start- ing. If more gasoline is wasted while the motor idles before a red light. the engine burns less fuel by way of com- pensation. In these and in other ways, the car manufacturer has reimbursed the car buyer for deficiencies that he, the cur maker, is not responsible. The 1929 automobile, in every way. is a better fit. Too Many Duties Seen. Do American motorists who travel abroad have too many duties? The tariff hearings have adduced evidence to this effect. It is pointed out that if an American goes abroad and buys an American car to tour Europe, ne pays duty on that car assessed by the country.i{n which he made the pur- chase. Then. if he brings the car home with him, he has to pay another duty. Elimination of the second charge is asked in the revision of the tariff act. Nontechnically Speaking. A steam engine in which the steam ‘is created by an oil fuel is one of the latest automotive developments. It powers a 27-passenger bus. One of the most interesting of the arguments ad- vanced in its behalf is that, on a fuel that costs 5 or 6 cents a gallon, mile- age very favorably comparable to that of the gasoline engine is obtained. All ciated with the steam engine seems ,to be obtainable from the latest power heat of the fluid it contains.

Many of the big aspects of motor car | building never get into the public prints. Take patents, for instance. One widely known authority recently wrote: | “Only a small part of the effort de- | voted to patent matters gets to the. surface; patents are today and always | have been vital elements in automotive | manufacturing procedure.” thing as the famous Selden would indicate. Back With New Speed. There are numerous signs that the traveling market is roming back. When rural America became motorized, it looked very definitely as if the travel- ing market had passed out of the mer- prvresaage oy picture. Now “he mobile store is becoming motoriz‘d, and it s¢€ “8s to be coming back, at least, in certain sections. It returns with that degree of speed that matches the ac- celeration of most forms of modern business. New Vibration Fight. That annoying vibration that used to be in automobi!-s is not the only one that worries car makers. The vi- bration in machine tools that help of the acceleration traditionally asso-. hem out of tilator does ee r plant of this type. Thermostats now have been incorpo- rated in shock absorbers. The hydrau- lic ebsorber always has shown a varia- tion in efficiency tn proportion to the gets into the interior of the car. “The water thermostat does still an- other important job, particularly in cold weather.

In cutting tools vibration is tnclined to make fo: inaccuracy. which is something that the industry will not stand for long The machine tool maker, accordingly is busy eliminating it. It Seems So, at Least. An automobile maker has found that the average horn will blow 150,000 times before wearing out. What a shame that the average motorist uses 147,345 honks to register disgust with those who unfortunately stall their motors in traffic. (Copyright, 1929.) Leak to Be Suspected When Battery Weakens It is cold weather that requires more frequent tests of battery strength. In making such a test, it is an excellent idea to note carefully the reading for each cell of the battery. In case one shows 50 points less strength than the others, the possibil- ity of a leak should be immediately in- vestigated. The reading is the car owner's cue to let an expert look over the battery. Sometimes it is necessary to use the up. The of the choke by cutting down the requiréd to warm up the motor.

Incidentally, both in name and in na- ture it represents something distinc- tive among recently created body types Wind resistance, at high speeds, was definitely a consideration in the de- sign of the speedboat-like body of the Car. € baa ? Cars cdesigned specifically for the foreign market have been discussed among motor manufacturers for many years. Finally, however, in one case the subject has passed the discussion state. A Detroit engineer has tesigned and built a car primarily intended for sale abroad. It involves many of the popular characteristics of the American built automobile but also includes a number that are especially fitting as the foreigner sees his needs. - + One of the cars that is surprisingly larger this year is the Whippet six. Along with the Erskine, this car start3d the European-type movemé@nt of several years ago. Now both. of them have taken on stature that gy them as quite far removed from the original idea behind them. - - a = Appearances are particularly deceiv- ing in motordom. Different body types on the same chassis make a tremendous difference. An tJlustration of his point comes to mind in the case of the convertible coupe and sedan models of | the La Salle. Nash “400” has completely changed the auto- picture of America. W ith unmistakable enthusiasm, motorists every- where have placed their stamp of approval upon this new Nash — making it, by a tremen- dous margin, the outstanding motor car success of modern automobile history. Why? Because Nash gives them the Twin-Igni- AAISING ROAD SPEED and Eliminated Entirely on Country Highways. BILL IS IN LEGISLATURE. Legislative steps are being taken in Ohio to raise motor car speed limits in cities and villages: and to eliminate them entirely in the open country. A proposal containing these provisions has been introduced in the Ohio gen- era] assembly. Briefly, following are the bill’s provisions: In congested areas of cities and vil- lages if these latter places have such areas—the maximum speed limit now provided by statute is 15 miles an hour. The bill would raise this limit to 20 miles an hour. In all other areas of cities and vil- lages, the maximum speed limit, stipu- lated by present law, is 25 miles an hour, The new measure would lift this limit to 30 miles an hour. In the open country, the maximum speed limit. as fixed by present law, is 35 miles an hour. The bill will erase this limit altogether and replace it with a provision saying in substance that the speed legally may be what the road and road conditions permit, pro- vided one’s car may be brought to a stop within “the assured clear distance ahead.” This bill, its proponents point out, is similar in its major provision to laws now operative in Michigan and Connecticut. Enactment of it, they assert, would place traffic law enforce- ment on the open road solely on the basis of careless and reckless driving. Difference in Fuels ~ Noted in Best Grades Motorists are accustomed to look upon all high-test fuels as embodying the same advantages. In winter, this fact sometimes accounts for the hard starting that individual car owners en- counter. Premium fuels, which fs a more precise term, may have either one or two charactéristica. Some have the lightness “that assures easy vaporiza- tion and consequently easy starting. while others have antiknock /-alue. Some have both They are all labeled high test.

LT TTT TE NEWS OF AVIATION AND ll eee a ee ae eee Oe E ~—RPLANES ARE USED FOR MERCHINDIZING Quick Delivery of Cigarettes Demonstrated by Louis- ville Concern. ee eee eee —-- -~— = BUSINESS IS SPEEDED UP Use of the airplane as a medium for quick delieveries of perishable mer- @handise and for meeting emergencies was demonstrated last week by the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Co., of Louisville, Ky. This company sent a shipment of Sir Walter Raleigh cig- arettes to the Washington Tobacco Co. to fill a rush order. In commentding on the shipment, Robert Barton, general manager of the Brown & Williamson Co., said: “Merchandising by air is the new method being employcd by many man- ufacturers and merchants. We have found it an answer to some of our problems as they come up. With a new factory at Louisville, Ky., manu- facturing a new cigarette and with new synchronized advertising campaign on our hands, we are very well aware of the fact that the air will ay down in New York City the next morning what PLANE TRANSPORTS CIGARETS TO WASHINGTON we place on it in the late afternoon in Louisville. “Not very long ago we had a delivery | problem on our hands.

February 13, we, as a part of our regu- lar service to our jobbers, put on the air 448 pounds of cigarettes, paying $720 postage. These were badly needed in a field which we are developing in con- nection with our advertising campaign which is beginning on the Eastern sea- board and working across the country. “For example, leaving Louisville late in the afternoon, it is possible to lay down mail or express by air Albany at 8:30 a. m., Boston 7:50 a. m., Hartford 6:35 a. m. “There are many important reasons . for using the new air transport. It is rapid in its delivery. It speeds up Dusiness. Consequentlys we can keep eommittents and engagements in a rapidly expanding market.” Aerial Navigation Aids in U. S. Listed ‘According to Department of Com- mefce figures, on December 31, 1928. the aid to aerial navigation included 9341 miles of airways for night fly- ing. 1.479 electric and acetylene bea- cons, 259 lighted intermediate fields, 910 miles of airways with 30 unlight- ed intermediate fields for day flying, 27 radio weather reporting and com- munication stations on transcontinen- tal Dallas-Chicago, Atlanta-New York end Salt Lake-Pasco airways, with telephone service on other mail air- ways; 2,500 miles additional night fly- ing airways scheduled, 46 upper air meteorological stations, mostly at air- ports; 8 cities having airship mooring masts, and 3 radio beacons on the transcontinental airway. Huge Orders Placed For Airplane Motors An order for airplane motors total- ipg approximately $2,400,000 and said to be the largest ever placed by an American manufacturer of commercial airplanes, has been let by Fokker Air- eraft Corporation of America, it was announced last week by: Harris M. Hanshue, of Los Angeles, president and general manager. The contract, calling for delivery during the present year, was dvided between Wright Aeronautical Corpora- tion, builders of the motors in the Army Fokker plane. Question Mark, and Pratt & Whitney, whose motors power the Fokker planes used by West- ern Air Express. These concerns are said to be the two most outstanding in the United States. 40,000,000 Miles Are Flown by Planes According to ae report issued by the American Air Transport Association, planes in civil aviation flew in 1928, 40,000,000 miles, of which approxi- mately 7,500,000 were with the air mail and express, 2,500,000 passenger mile- age The remainder was in such activities as aerial photography. airplane dust- ing of crops, forest patrol work, scien- tiflc studies, aerial advertising. geo- graphical study, spotting schools of fish, observing traffic congestion, searching for lost persons, surveying, map making. representation of prop- erties, engineering surveys, carrying supplies to inaccessible regions, first aid to devastated cities. California College Boys Build Glider A serious effort is being made by a group of collegians in the Santa Clara Valley, Calif.. to build a successful glider. They are headed by Jack Sheup, son of Paul Shoup, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad. They are constructing a 32-foot monoplane giider along German plans and expect to try it out this spring. If they are successful, it will be the first time a motorless plane has taken the air at Sen Jose since Prof. Thomas Montgomery. of the University of Santa Ciara, was killed more than 30 years azo while experimenting on a glider. Air Mail to Serve 69,000,000 People Air mail service will be available to 69,000,000 persons through 109 air mail s*ops at commercial centers by June 30 of this year as the result of the instal- lation of facilities for night flying ex- pected to be completed by that date, according to the Department of Com- merce. “Upon the completion of all proposed lighting a double meil schedule will be established,” the department states. “Mail. collected at the close of the business day on the Pacific Coast will be delivered on the Atlantic seaboard in the first mail delivery on the second Gay after posting. the meil having traveled two nights and one day gn its journey from coast to coast.” New Foreign Mail ; Route Is Planned Col.

In recognition of the increasing de- mand for unified air-rail passenger transportation as a time-saving factor in transcontinental travel, the Stan- Gard Airlines, Inc., has entered into an arrangement with the Texas and Pa- cific Railway, which will enable pas- sengers using its planes to El] Paso to continue their journey to northern and eastern cities without delay. Service was inaugurated Monday, February 4. Under this arrangement the service between Los Angeles and El Paso is by air and connections are made at the latter point with regularly scheduled trains. Through this tie-up, 16 hours have been cut from the traveling time between Los Angeles and cities east of El Paso. The Standard Airlines, Inc., which has been operating a triweekly service between Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Tucson, Ariz., since November, 1927, has added a fleet of six and eight- passenger Fokkef cabin planes to its equipment and under the expansion program has increased its service to a daily schedule between Los Angeles and El Paso with stops at Phoenix, Tucson, and Douglas, Ariz. The entire trip between Los Angeles and El Paso now consumes only 81,4 hours by air. and at El] Paso connec- tions are made with the Sunshine Spe- cial, fast Texas and Pacific de luxe train. which carries through Pullman service to Fort Worth, Dallas, Memphis and St. Louis and a car-to-car transfer service at Shreveport and New Orleans. Highest Air Mail Line Sets Record The world’s highest air mail line, be- tween Cheyenne, Wyo... and Pueblo, Colo., established a record during 1928 of never having a mechanical failure or having made a landing except at | regular stops or because of impossible fiying conditions, according to a report received here yesterday. The line is operated by Western Air | Express and averages a mile above sea level from terminal to terminal. The mail pilots flew a distance approxi- mately equal to five and a half times around the earth. Capt. Lew Goss, World Wear filer and division traffic manager, attributes the remarkable record to careful inspections and me- chanical efficiency of his various ground crews. Students Demand Aviation Courses Classes in California Uni- versity So Popular They Are Repeated. A course in commercial aviation, given for the first time at University of Southern California, Los Angeles, last semester, proved so popular that to an announcement from the univer- sity received here. It is not customary to repeat a course in the same year, but the authorities declare the demand on the part of undergraduates for in- struction in this subject is so strong be broken. Prof. Earl W. Hill, instructor in trade and transportation, College of Commerce and Business Administre- tion of University of Southern Call- fornia, originated the course. Those who were in his first class evidenced such a strong desire for continued in- struction that he has inaugurated another class in commercial aviation problems. The class was limited, and within an hour after registration opened the full number had been ac- cepted, he reports. Undergraduates in the West are evincing such a keen interest in the subject, according to Prof. Hill, that twenty colleges and universities have accepted as a text book, either tenta- tively or finally, a book entitled “Air- plane Transportation,” of which he is coauthor with James G. Woolley, of Los Angeles. Many Competitive Air Events Planned There wil be considerable aeronau- tical activity, from a competitve stand- point, during the next twelve months, as evidenced by the following schedule of events released by the contest com- mittee of the National Aeronautic Asso- ciation: The national ' burgh on May 4. | The 1929 national air races to Cleve- land (conditionally) August 24 to Sep- tember 2.

WORK The International Authority. N the majority of hands, there is more bidding skill and thrill in Contract Bridge than there is in Auction Bridge; but one night recently I came across a rara avis in which was plenty of “bidding with a kick in it” in both games, also some interesting play. Here is the way in which the cards were distributed. wer —_ ; This hand was dealt and played in a, Duplicate Auction Bridge game, but I subsequently gave it to a Contract Bridge table to bid, and the bidding in the two games was as follows: At Auction Bridge South bid one Heart. West one Spade, North two Hearts, East pass, South pass, West three Diamonds, North four Clubs, East pass, South four Hearts which became the contract. At Contract Bridge, South bid two Hearts, West pass, North four Clubs, East pass, South four No Trumps, West ass, North six hearts, which was fol- owed by three passes. South's Contract bid of two Hearts was conventiona!, differing from Auc- tion bidding in this respect: In Auc- tion two of a suit is bid to show a six- caré holding headed by Ace-King- Queen: at Contract it indicates six tricks whether the suit named be the trump or partner shift to another suit or No Trump. In other words, a strong high-card land. The fact that the Auction West dared to bid three Diamonds without assist- ance from his partner, and the Contract West did not venture to do so, doubt- | less was Caused by the great > penalties in Contract. Except for that there would have been mote justification for the bid in Contract because in that game it would have been made on the first round, and in Auction it was made on the second round, after East had passed on the first. On the second round South's four No Trumps was @ questionable bid; in spite of North’s seeming denial] four Hearts would have been safer. North, knowing from South's No Trump that South had Spades and ; Diamonds stopped, risked the Slam bid |in Hearts; having Ace x-x of that suit | which he had seemingly denied: the bid wa: attended with serious danger, South’s Spades might be Queen-Jack-x. It will b- noted, as often happens, that the same trump was selected in | Contract and in Auctlo. | THE PLAY | At all the tables, West opened with | the King of Diamonds, and South won the first trick. At one or two tables the Declarer then exhausted the adverse trumps in three rounds and followed with a C'!ub _lead, having perfect confidence that North’s seven Clubs would take seven tricks and give South sit discards—one more than he needéd to get rid of three Spades and two Diamonds. i With normal North and South hands the odds would have been in favor of finding the five advers. Clubs divided 3-2; but the fact that the Declarer’s two hands both contained singletons, suggested an abnormal Club division with a singleton in one adverse hand | and Declarer should have taken that | possibility into consideration. With the play as above outlined | South got two Diamond discards but was obliged to lose three Spades; how- ever, he made four-odd. At one or two other tables the De- clarer was more vautious and led a Dia- mond from the South hand to trick 2, ruffing it in Dummy: and then led three rounds of trumps. After that came the Club play and as South was left with only one Diamond that he needed to discard, he got rid of one Spade and made five-odd. At only one table did the Deelarer fully rise to the occasion. Appreciating the serious possibility of an adverse 4-1 Club division, and seeing that even with that division he still could obtain all the discards he nve“ed, he played the hand as follows: To trick 2, he led the King of Hearts from Closed Hand and, when both ad- ersaries followed, he led the Queen, winning the trick with that card. He was disappointed that this lead did not exhaust the adverse trumps, but he still had a Grand Slam if the adverse Clubs, he deliberately returned a small vision (not to be expected) could de- feat his scheme. To trick 4, he . . his singleton Club, taking in the Dummy; and then al- though Dummy held the two high Culbs, he deliberately returned a small Club, trumping it with South's Jack, after which he led a small trump which , ut Dummy in with the Ace and ex- hausted the adverse trumps. Then Dummy led five good Clubs on which Declarer obtained five discards and — ro- duced the Grand Slam for which he had been scheming.

' ‘WILL USE SESQUI PLANE New Castle, Del., Feb. 23 (A.P.).— Brilliant chapters in aviation history written after successful flights across the South Atlantic from east to west may have their counterparts in the first nonstop flight from Buenos Aires to Se- ville, Spain, next month. Two wealthy Argentine sportsmen, Diego A. Arzeno and Lieut. Claudio Me- jia, are here making final preparations for their flight by easy stages to Buenos Alres the starting point of their trans- atlantic venture. They will use the Bel- lanca sesquiplane Roma. originally built for a flight from New York to Rome, but recently sold to the Argen- tines for their South Atlantic hop. The elements have smiled continu- upon aviators attempting long, hazardous flights across the unbroken expanse Of water in the South Atlantic, |} and more than a half dozen fliers have |made air history on long filghts from east to west, starting in Europe and Africa. The Argentines hope to make the first nonstop flight from South America to Europe. The Argentines plan to take off about the middle of March, when conditions over the South Atlaritic. considered favorable during most of the year, are at their best. After a flight by easy Stages from New Castle to Buenos Aires by way of Miami, Havana, Panama, Valparaiso and the transandean alr- way, the fliers will start their 3,170- mile hop to Spain without stop. The Bellanca plane was built for a cruising range of 6,000 miles. It will be powered with a 625-horscpower Wright Cyclone engine and equipped with an unusually heavy food supply.

TO COMPETE FOR RECORD Bay City, Mich., Feb. 23 (A.P.).—Just as a bird in flight. tucks its legs and feet close to the body, so Eddie Stin- son’s new endurance plane folds its undercarriage and landing wheels into the high monoplane wing. Stinson figures that this will cut down resistance to the air 21 per cent, and peers an important factor in the realization of a new world en- durance record which he and Randolph Page are seeking. kets built in the wings and con- céaled by sliding panels, operated from the plane's cabin, receive the wheels and undercarriage after the plane has attained a safe altitude and no longer needs its earthly features. Once Had Record. Stinson and Page must stay aloft more than 65 hours and 26 minutes to shatter the record made last year by Johaan Risticz and Wilhelm Zim- merman, of Germany. With George Haldeman and his companion pilot, Stinson brought the world endurance record without refueling to America early last year, but was forced out of the running when Italy and Germany captured the honor in quick succes- sion, boosting the mark to more than 65 hours. The new plane has a theoretical rec- ord of about 80 hours, with some pos- sibilities held out by its designers for a test of 90 or 1086 hours. It is equip- ped with a new Wright J-6, nine-cylin- der, radial air-cooled engine, the first one of the new line to be installed in a plane. em a es PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS Its New and Original Sty Uptown Salesroom 3113 14th St. N.W.

Bureau of Edu- cation, addressed the class in legisla- tion last Tuesday morning on “The Evolution of the School Bullding.” Explaining that not only the school but every experience which comes to a child constitutes a part of his educa- tion, she said that. many of the valu- able Jessons which children’ learned outside of school when the vast ma- jority of children lived in the country or in small villages have been replaced in our large cities by experiences which not only do not contribute anything of value to education but frequently cause juvenile delinquency. When city schools were first organ- ized on a large scale, they were little more than multiples of the little-one- room schoolhouse of the country and taught only the three R's. Educators have come to realize that much juve- nile crime is a result of the lost oppor- tunitieg for wholesome play and work which are an incidental part of every country cbild’s education. Throughout the past 60 or 60 years, much has been accomplished through the senior and unior high schools 'n returning these ost opportunities to city children, but too late to affect the problem of de- linquency. It is only within the last fifteen or twenty years that educators have realized that, ‘f schools are to help in curing juvenile crime, they must afford opportunity to cultivate habits of worthwhile use of leisure in the elementary schools. This requires buildings like the junior high schools with well equipped shops, science rooms, gymnasiums, auditeriums, li- braries and adequate land for gardens and playgrounds. Plantin;; seeds, watch- ing things grow, and caring for animals are most wholesome occupations for children in the development of charac- ter and can never be replaced by the mere abstract teaching of “character education,” progressive educators have discovered. into 60 of playgrounds indicate that a satisfac- tory solution of the problem of surfae- ing has been reached and the Bureau of Education will be glad to furnish in- formation on this subject. . oo — + ip. m., Migs Barrows sald that recent surveys | m., 8t.

IS DECREASING. HE United States Census Office is authority for the statement that more country people than eity people die of consumption. This they say has been the condition since 1920. 'In 1900 the city people paid far heavier | tribute than 'but the former group bestirred them- did the country people, selves and displaced their country cous- ins in the two decades. Investigators working under the Mill- bank Memorial fund are disposed to dispute the first half of this statement. They say it is not true of twelve coun- ties in rural New York. They are almost equally certain it is not true of New York as a whole. The reasons are sev- eral. a marked tendency for consumptives to leave the cities and go into rural dis- tricts, either entering sanitaria and hospitals or to live where the air is better and there is more sunlight. They say the reported city consump- tion rates should be raised from 6 to 16 per cent to make them right. The ruval rates should be lowered corre- spondingly. An interesting part of their report is that the consumption rate is declining in both city and country The report for Cattaragus County shows that at the end of 1928 the de- cline was keeping up. They are not having the experience which Chicago seems to have had of having the decline stop in 1922. However, the rate of decline has been very uneven in both the cities and in the rural districts in New York State and probably elsewhere. The great epi- demic of influenza in 1918 was followed by a very marked drop in the consump- tion rate in city. and country alike. Somewhere between 1922 and 1924 the period of very great improvement came to an end. discovered in the state. The minister hailed. the announcement as a wonder- ful discovery. 44.

The total number of foreigners en- rolled in the courses in German is -97. The United dbtates heads the list with 45 students, who come from points as substituted a period of slight yearly gain. Health authorities have not been able to agree as to whether the influenza of 1918 in some way changed consumption, or whether it killed off in one season all the pros- pective material of the next four to six years. However, the study shows that even after allowing for the movement of con- sumptives from the city to the country There was far apart as California and New York. Next come Japan with 25 and China with 16 students. Women Hire Children For Courtroom Effect Manchester, England, Feb. .23 (A.P.).

The orchestral forces will be in command of Eugene Goossens, one of the out- stamding conductors of England, who takes the place of Sir Thomas Beecham, whose American tour was cancelled be- cause of illness. Mr. Goossens got his first opportunity to conduct through the interest of Sir Thomas in 1916, and thereafter and until he came to Amer- ica in 1923, was regularly attached to the opera company. As permanent conductor of the Ro- chester Philharmonic Orchestra and as guest conductor of the Boston Sym- phony. New York Symphony, Cincin- nati, Detroit and St. Louis orchestras, Mr. Goossens has created a most favor- able impression, and since he is only thirty-six years old now it may be assumed that an even more Drilliant future lies ahead of him. He is also well known as a composer and his works include nearly every form of musical expression. Grove’s Dictionary lists three famous musicians by the name of Eugene Goossens, the guest conductor of the Philadelphia Orches- tra being the third generation in a line of distinguished directors. For this concert Mr. Goossens has chosen a well-balanced program of classical and modern works. The feature of the group is the Constitution Chapter met Tuesday ‘eighth symphony of Beethoven, one of H. C. Young, Mrs. Arthur Williams, jr.,|¢vem!ng at the Hamilton Hotel. the brightest, most cheerful, and most humorous works that he ever conceived. Prefacing the symphony is the in- gratiating and romantic “Freischuetz overture of Weber. More modern works make up the second half. Three dances from the ballet. “The Three-Cornered Hat,” by the Spanish composer De Falla; a Nor- folk Rhapsody by the English composer, Vaughan Williams, and the **Meister- singer” overture of Wagner complete the offerings.

Coloradp Springs, Colo., Feb. 23 (A.>.). | —A forest of trees is slowly moving from a mountainous slope at the edge of Pike's Peak to the front yard of the wealthy here—at a price of approx- imating $200 a tree. Nearly 200 trees, mostly of the Colo- rado blue spruce variety, have been ulled with cranes from their eartly rths, trucked to the city or its suburbs and transplanted to beautify estates in the vicinity. The trees range in height from 14 to 40 feet. A perfect apecimen of the blue spruce would bring from $1,000 to $2,000 in the East. nurserymen here believe. Cold weather this year accentuated moving of the trees, and the market demand was great. In the winter time a tree can be removed from the ground with a great ball of frozen earth around the roots and set up again in a new lo- cation.

Behrman has made into @ two-act play with ten scenes moved along more nderously than seemed necessary, ed Harris. the producer is famous for charging his shows with speed; he neglected to do that this time. Naturally we do not need or desire a racing tempo for every play—but if the tempo is slow it becomes more necessary than other- wise to add some other quality, a qual- ity of taste. charm, for example. Style was very much tn evidence in the settings designed by Robert Ed- mond Jenes, but the dreictor of “Serena” returned to a method of technique which I thought had about vanished from the modern ‘theater. The actors were evidently made to speak nearly all their lines not to the other characters in the play, but straight out to the audience, which I confess, “offends me to the soul!” Of course, there were exceptions. Ruth Gordon played “Serena” and though she did face “front” most of the time, she played mentally with such truth and feeling that it didn't matter much in her case, and Henry Daniell’s “Lord Ivor Cream” was a smal] masterpiece. I sup you know that Serena is a little middle-class Londoner who is under a bargain to get married within a certain time—it doesn’t matter to whom, provided her man has title and wealth—and that the story tells of her difficulties in getting a husband. It is, despite the inherent comedy, a sad little tale, for though Serena is taken to live at the house of the countess wherein she meets many prominent and wealthy people, luck is against her and each strenuous attempt on her part comes to naught. Things are further complicated by the entrance of love—love for the one man whom she can not marry though for a time he returns her affection. The play ends with her going off with him anyway, chucking all her chances; she is a com- plete failure, even realizing that very soon, perhaps, her man will tire of her and throw her over. Miss Gordon touched me deeply and one beautiful little scene where she and Henry Danie fe a lo h together made me glad ad comé: Constance Collier, as the countess, was in her element and badly exaggerated; I was disappointed in the fine actor, A. E. Mathews, though I can not be- lieve that this was in any way his fault —he had mighty little to work with.

I must prologue my remarks with the above statements for I liked it (if you can actually “like” an O'Neill play) exceedingly. It is not a deep play though it deals with the deepest of all subjects—man’s hunt for God. It is not deep because O'Neill is not dealing with very cerebal people, and the philosophy that enters into it is conscientiously—though the whole play is one of extreme styliza- tion—kept within the possibilities of ‘its people’s intellect. The first two acts showed the inter- lors of two families’ homes — four rooms on the stage at the same_time. In one house lives an atheist, his wife and daughter; in the other a bigoted ciergyman, his wife and son. The fam- ilies with their primitive radically dif- ferent ideas are enemies—the son and daughter ‘love each other. Fate intro- duces melodrama—by hypocrisies and lies on the sides of both sets of par- ents tragedy stalks in and the two young ones are separated. The young man, being betrayed, feels that the God of his fathers has betrayed him, and in a night of thunder storm rushes away to find for himself a god. He finds one in electricity, in the very lightning of the storm which thun- dered when he departed from home: and the symbol of his god becomes the Dynamo—the god of modern man. He returns to his home after fifteen months, having found as he thinks the secret of life, and enters the power company’s hydroelectric plant in his home town. The symbol, the Dynamo, as is apt to happne to symbols, be- ‘comes in time in his mind, the very god itself. And he prays to this god He still loves the girl and wants her to forsake all else and pray with him. She, becausé of love for him, pretends to accept his god; but it is only pre- tense and he finds it out in time. As fanatical over his new god as his father had been over his, he shoots the girl, sacrificing her upon the altar of modernism, Giving himself to his god he drags himself to the bosom of the dynamo. clintbs upon it, caresses it with his hands. The purring machine suddenly sends forth sparks—he is charged with electricity—electrocuted —killed.

The general excitement created in blase New York by the announcement that Arturo Toscanini was to return to the Philharmonic Symphony Or- chestra as chief conductor for the sea- son 1928-29, was perhaps most vividly summed out in the following article, written by Peter Vischer, in the New York World: “Toscanini brought New York a new kind of mob.

However, the play has nothing whatsoever to do with inaugu- ral processions. It is comedy of ex- tremely humorous situations and one of the most entertaining productions of this or any other season. In brief, the plot is this: A girl, Ann Harper by name is left a fértune pro- tives approve. Naturally, Ann, being the kind of a girl she is, a rebellicus flapper, went after the disapproval rather than the approval of her rela- tives, and got into all sorts of difficul- tiles with four young men who come under the head of “cake eaters,” pro- fessional dancers who loll around bell rooms with fat old ladies.

The extraordinary acceleration, smooth speed, ease of handling and control, compactness, comfort, durability and long life, together with the unusual safety and stamina which characterize Chrysler, have all been combined in a car whose qualities can only be approached by other cars costing hundreds, yes, even a thousand dollars more. It is no wonder that Chrysler engineers working with that singleness of idea and surety of approach to every problem, should create a product built as none ever built before and better than any other. HRYSLER engineers from the outset disregarded all other performance standards and all other de- sign. They set themselves to establish definitely the most modern principles and fundamentals of engineer- ing and to apply them in a brand new way. The same processes which based the new Chrysler style on the canons of classic beauty worked step by step to provide performance unlike any other in the in- dustry—founded on a new and fresh interpretation of the basic principles of engincering design. » Jt is because of this Chrysler plan and the achievement of this plan, that an entirely new New Chrysler ‘'65”—Six body styles, $1040 to $1145.

AY eS Ae er TRUE ARCHITECTURE spirit’ of all _@erts Mr. Farley. ‘jdea in the IN BUILDING URGED Structure, Having 3 Stories, but Pretending to 4, Is Called a Lie. LOCATION IS IMPORTANT It is possible for buildings to le, with all of the facility of some humans, according to Frank Cheney Farley, of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. “What would you say of the facade of a building which showed four stories when there were only three?” he asks, pointing out that are so com d. Plato's definition of beauty as splendor of truth” is the “guiding great architecture, “For the painter and the sculptor,” he says, “the truth is in the outside world; for the architect it resides with- in himself, and may be transiated by one word: Conscience. “Architecture conceives, then studies, then builds. It is the expression in concrete form of an idea. Back of every architectural composition there is an mind of the architect which partakes of the nature of a find. Matter of Tuition. “Rarely will the development of such an idea be the result of logical deduc- tion. More often it is a synthetic welling-up complete in his conscious- ness. This mode of creation, which puts to rout the theories and methods of traditional logic, is intuition. It is the true genesis of the artistic idea. This phenomenon will be the same whether the subject matter be great or small.” The man who appeals to an architect te design him a home should be able to state clearly what requirements his home must fulfill, but should not at- tempt to dictate how the finished con- struction wilT meet these requirements, Mr. Farley points out. In other words, he should present his problem to the architect, and leave its solution in the latter’s hands. “It is not for the architect to de- cide whether his client needs three bedrooms or only two, or whether a One or two car garage is wanted,” he continues. “It is true that if accommodations ofa — sort for a given number of people required, the architect should a able to indicate the proper ' gervices and accommodations to house °° ° them. But it is a fact that many of the largest structures have to be built without a program. Why is this? It is simply because three-quarters of the time clients do not know what they want themselves. “In general, a good program will mame the required services and point out their relations to one another, but it should not suggest their combina- | | tion nor their proportion. The pro- gram should still less imposé a solution, for then the architect: might as well have his hands.-tied. Ground Is the Problem. “Now a capital part of the program, or problem, is the situation, the ground, or plot. Architecture has its dominions. Cities, large and small, with all their many varieties and their many kinds of sites; the open country with its views, its and its shel- tered slopes; the de with its beaches and rocky promontories; the mountains with their steeps and val- leys; each different site will call for a different handling in order to be truthful. “A building to house officials of a large city will be more or less the same in whatever quarter of the city it is situated; it will, however, be one thing on-an ordinary street or avenue, an- other if it faces the -main square of the city. “In the open country.there will be a general search for the best view and orientation to secure the benefit of the prevailing winds in warm weather. The plan of every country house is built up with this in mind. “If the ground has a pronounced ope this search. for the best view con- buildings can only be realized by plac- ing them so that their long dimensions lie on eee oe This is the case the magnificent composition of the Villa d’Este at Tivoli, in the great ‘ment inhabitant, one seeks to be pro- tected from the ocean's furies; to en- joy it if one is a summer visitor.

The Common Brick Manufacturers Association will supply complete drawings On request. have large unshaded windows to invite the sun on the gray days of winter.” Truth in expressing the character of the setting must extend to truth in construction, Mr. Farley declares. The executed edifice must be true to it- self, must tell no architectural lies, must possess unity. “To assure unity, some central fo- cal idea must dominate,” he states. “Consider the Palace of Versailles. The location of honor is perfectly marked. It is at the center of the Marble court and in the center of the building fac- ing on the gardens. Here are found the king’s bedroom and the great gal- lery for reception—the gallery where the peace treaty was signed. “The magnificent chapel, sacrificed to royal majesty, has been thrown back into e*wing. Louis XIV was, neverthe- less, the ‘most Christian king,’ but be- yond all else he was king. “On the other hand, consider the Es- curial, that great palace of the Span- ish monarch, where the queen mother has just been laid to rest. There the mighty chapel is in the center and heart of the composition, and every- thing else converges on it. Though Philip II was monarch of an empire on which the sun never set, he was, above all, the Catholic king.” Time Important Element. Speaking of the one aspect of beauty in building which does not depend directly on the architect, Mr. Farley says: “We all enjoy the picturesque. But ‘the great picturesque is composed of that greatest of artists—Time. The Ro- man Forum, with its centuries of his- tory the Piazza San Marco in Venice, with its buildings of every epoch of the city’s glory: the lower part of New York, with its w structures of the eight- eenth and early nineteenth century overtopped and dominated by the soar- ing buildings of the last quarter cen- tury—these can not be composed. If you want the picturesque, do not seek it. Let time take its course with the bulldings peculiar to its age, for the picturesque is primarily variety. “The great architect of an epoch is he who best realizes its social state in its many manifestations. Beyond each individual work of art there is the great pro of programs, the civilization itself of each century. “Are we living in a time of faith or incredulity, aristocracy or democracy, severity or freedom of manners? In Rome, with the development of the empire, architecture became more and more grandiose. The cathedrals of the Middle Ages evoke thoughts of faith and piety. The palaces of the Renais- sance can be thought of only in their historical setting. “We ourselves today are borne along in a great complex movement on a wave that seems to move faster and faster, the result of vast changes and discov- erles of the past century. To keep pace with this movement architecture must move with the current to achieve the truth that it seeks.” Summer White House Wanted by Maryland Since President Coolidge suggested providing the Chief Executive with a summer White House within 75 miles of Washington, realtors of Baltimore. Md., have taken action looking to the presentation of the advantages of a Maryland location. A committee consisting of Thomas R. Bond, Joshua G. Harvey and James Carey Martien, of Baltimore; Charles F. Lee, of Annapolis, and Richard H. Potts, of Frederick, have been appointed by the president of the Baltimore board to comb that portion of the State within the specified distance from Washington for a suitable site. o0,010 WN REALTY DEALS ANNGUNGED Residential, Investment and Unimproved Properties in Transactions.

DROP SHOWN FROM 1928 With permits for new building con- struction aggregating $2,558,445 in val- ue, Washington last month ranked ninth among the 25 cities reporting the largest volume of permits for Janu- ary, according to the national monthly building survey prepared by Ss. W. Straus & Co. Last month's permits here, however, represented a falling off of $2,071,450 under the volume for the same period of last year, the survey showed. The January total compared with $2,905,755 reported for the eorresponding month of 1927, and $87,787,630 in December, 1928. The total for the 25 leading places in January was $165,443,243, compared with $157,244,920. The most surpris- ing feature of the report from the lead-‘| -¢ ing cities was the change in the posi- tions of Chicago and Philadelphia, the latter taking, for the first time, the place of second city in the country. Heretofore, Chicago has always held second position, following New_ York, with wide margin over Philadelphia and Detroit. During this January, Detroit, which held third position for the year 1928, dropped to fifth place, while / geles, which held fifth poece or 1926, ary, 1928, but also Wa gain of 282 % in Philadelphia from January last year. Detroit reported a gain over January, 1928, but the city fell behind its build- ing record in the first month of 1927.

His step-daughter, Mary, lived at home and was unemployed, being 19 years of age. She used the car to take her friends to a dance.

Mexican Fishermen Ship Catch Overland Calexico, Calif., Feb.23 (A.P.).—Like shipping coal to Newcastle, Mexican fishermen send sea bass from the Gulf of California several hundred miles across desert roads to California sea- ports. As much as thirteen tons a day of | fresh fish pass through Calexico from San Pelipe, Lower California, 140 miles ‘uth, to San Diego, 135 miles from here, and Los Angeles, 239 miles north. The Gulf of California in -Mexico 1s abundant in fish, and Mexican fisher- men operate largely from rowboats. ORATION.

Read the National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s an- nual report and see what Washington has in store for it. Puts Emphasis on “Live.” Let me pause a moment. The sub- ject of this talk is “The Advantages of Washington as a City in which to Re- side.” You may have noticed in the | beginning that I used the word “live” instead of “reside.” That was pur- | posely done. There is no particular advantage to the man who is here in body and over in Baltimore in spirit, although it is certain he must have a strong spirit. Let me take you in fancy on a little trip through part,of Washington near the close of a warm spring day. At | Dupont Circle, with it statuesque foun- | tain, we start, and ride out New Hamp- 'shire avenue under enormous trees | whose leafy branches meeting directly overhead form a perfect arch beautiful to behold. On out Sixteenth street, once known as the Avenue of the Presi- dents, we go, past the stately embassies, homes of representatives of foreign sovereigns, until presently, after a few turnings, we reach Rock Creek Park and find ourselves in the midst of a rustic woodland setting. There are about 1314 miles of hard surfaced road- | ways, but we shall only have time for a few, and therefore we select the one leading along the creek, which brings us out on Connecticut avenue, from whence we journey back through the city, and, reaching the White House, pass between it and the State, War and Navy Building. Impressive Lincoln Memorial. In a few minutes we are in Potomac Park, but we do not pause until we reach the front of the Lincoln Me+ morial. It is evening now, and the sun has set. The memorial before us rises in dignified simplicity, thrown into bold relief by indirect lighting which | accentuates its pristine whiteness. As | we glance through the opening into its shadowed recesses we catch the dim outline of the great Emancipator. Turning around we see in succession the Glassy Mirror Pool, serene and calm; the Washington Monument, its shaft piercing the deep indigo of the night, and the Capitol, bathed in light from many searchlights played upon it. And as you gaze upon this soul- stirring spectacle—the Memorial typi- fying union at all costs, the Monument standing ’for lofty ideals, and the Cap- itol exemplifying the solidity and strength of our great Nation—I repeat, as you survey this, the question is asked, “Amid such surroundings do the people of Washington reside?” And And how they live!” d they live! / ee \ the answer comes back quickly, “No, | ne ee ee t—ia ee eee DEPRIEST HOWARD U.

This was also true of Los Angeles, Port- land, Ore.; Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Among the larger cities which fre- ported losses from January, 1928, were San Francisco, Yonkers, Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Boston, St. Louis and Buffalo. Had there not »%eem #9 January gain in New York of nearly $15,000,000, the 25 leading cities, as well as the whole country,.would have shown a ioss from January a year ago, as the total gain in the leading group was less than 88,000,000. At the same time it wil] be observed, from an analysis of the figures of the leading cities, that che heavy loss in Chicago, rather than in the other places, pulled down the showing for the group. On the whole the January bullding figures do not show & a down- ward tendency in co ciion ac- tivity, but neither do they indicate a recovery from the slowing down which set in after the middle of 1928. Tabulation of 25 Cities. The value of permits reported by the 25 cities showing the largest volume, with comparative figures for January, 1928, was as follows: J Jan. 1928. Washington, D.

Straus & Co., showed a loss of 11 per cent from January, 1928, and a 5 per cent loss from Decemtwr, 1928. The total for the first monvh of this year in the 576 places was $239,074,441, com- pared with $266,293,500 in January last year and $251,991,579 in December last. The January decline of 11 per cent for the whole country appears to be largely in the smaller cities and towns. This is indicated by the reports from the 25 leading cities, which showed a gain of 5 per cent over January, 1928; a gain of 9 per cent over January, 1927, and a gain of 9 per cent over December, 1928. Among the 25 leading cities, 15 reported substantial gains over Jan- uary last year.

And Woodley Park is so conveniently located—just a few minutes drive to the center of the city and only a couple of squares off Connecticut Avenue— ) be secluded without being isolated. board, it might be difficult for the average man to become a home owner. The board points out, however, that money for this purpose is plentiful, and the sources are many. The man who really wants a home of his own, it holds, can call on the greatest financial institutions in the world to aid him realize his dream. Life insurance companies have tarned part of their tremendous assets into the home field only since the great war, and of the 56 companies queried by the Yassociation, 34 companies, since they entered this field, have lent $1,330,222,- 837.39 on single and double family homes, Mortgaes Average $3,500. Assuming the average home mort- gage to be $3,500, this would mean that a group of 56 life insurance companies lighted 106,860 hearth fires during the last year and that 34 of these compan- @ | ies have set up 380,063 establishments in the post-war period. Several of these companies have only recently been making this type of loan, so that these figures look good for home ownership, comments the real estate association. The 56 insurance companies whose figures are quoted have combined assets of $9,438,956,861, and are among the 100 largest insurance companies in ‘his country. These companies are located in cities from coast to coast including New York City, St. Louis, Chicago, Dal- las, Sacramento, Calif., Portland, Oreg., &c. Most of these companies operate in adjacent States and some of them throughout the country. And again the association points out that the reason for the release of these vast amounts to the home buyer lies in the fact that the home buyer is such a good risk. Experience has shown fi- nancial institutions that the man Buy- ing his home under a mortgage or in- stallment payments rarely defaults. Life insurance company funds are trust funds, they represent the entire capital of hundreds of thousands of people, and the men who invest them must be certain of heir security. Best Type of Loan. Thus an insurance company that is carrying more than a million dollars in loans on homes says: “It is our judg- ment that there is no form of security for trust funds over a long term offer- ing less trouble or liability or deprecia- tion or expense of collection than owner occupied residence loans made on conservative appraisments with ‘proper equity remaining in the bor- rower.” Insurance company home loans may be secured for periods running from five to fifteen years and this time ele- ment is of the greatest importance to the home buyer. The “life” of such loans is usually long enough to permit the borrower to pay the principal in full by the time the term expires, thus {| avoiding the expense and inconvenience of having his loan renewed from time to time. The final approval of all loans made by insurance companies is always made by the home office of the company but every important life insurance company has representatives in all parts of the country through whom these loans are negotiated. These representatives in- clude banks, trust companies, mortgage companies and individuals. Applications for life insurance com- pany loans usually call for such ‘n- formation as would be necessary to secure a fair picture of the property offered as security, together with in- formation about the borrower that would indicate his financial standing and integrity. The life insurance co pany representati the property in er to be sure that the security adequate. Handling Construction Loans. Insurance company loans are usually limited to completed property in built- up areas. Where a loan is desired for construction purposes sometimes bulld- ing operations are financed by tem- porary loans, usually for one year dur- ‘ng construction and new papers are drawn later for the permanent mort- gage. But in most cities the usual prac- tice, in making construction loans, is to draw the permanent loan papers in the first instance; the insurance com- pany representative uses these papers as cOllateral for cash advances during construction and delivers the papers to the insurance company on completion of the butiding. Local representatives of insurance companies are instructed as a rule to charge the local rate of interest on first mortgages. In addition to the interest charge, most insurance companies per- mit their correspondents to charge a commission or service fee which covers their appraisal of the property offered as a security for the loan as well as the administrative work of approving th loan, advancing the funds and collegg- ing interest payments, which are gen erally required semiannually. This serv- ice charge usually amounts to about 2 per cent or 3 per cent of the loan and since insurance company loans run from five to fifteen years, this ‘% a comparatively small item. Such service charges are made.by correspondents for their vices and on their own re- sponsibility and such charges yield no return to/the insurance companies. The omy additional charge in secur- ing snsurance company loan is the e for title examination. As a rule, Every Main 3830 insurance companies require a title guaranty policy or torrens certificate, though some of them will accept an abstract or attorney’s opinion of title. Make Repaymen Easy. Few insurance companies make straight mortgages, but require install- ment payments on the principal, av- eraging from 3 to 6 per cent a year. Many companies defer these ‘nstall- ment periods for a period of two or three years after the loan is placed. This practice affords an opportunity for the borrower, who may have to place a@ second mortgage against his property, to pay this off before he is required to make principal payments on his first mortgage. And one of the hundred largest life ce companies queried by the jati a plan whereby home over a ten or twelve year period, with a ce pol- icy to protect the family against loss of the home through death of the breadwinner, at a cost of 6 per cent net. This company has loaned $5,000,- 000 in this way during the last five years. Part of the large sum paid every year by Amertcan people who die insured iy into the construction of homes other people they never knew. f G. W. U.

FOR SEARCHING ANALYSIS By MARTIN INSULL, President Middle West Utilities Co. While signs of well being and pros- pects for improvement are plentiful, complacency should be _ rigorously avoided in entering upon the new year. By far the best uses to which pros- perity can be put-are the conservative ones: First, to use it for the work of still further strengthening our position for the future, and, second, to subject our economic structure to the most searching analysis and criticism. We must make sure that our prosperity is as sound as we think it is and en- deavor to eliminate Pom it whatever disadvantages have accompanied it and whatever weaknesses there may be in the aituation. How well distributed is our prosper- ity? The answer to this question may not be altogether to our liking, but it should be faced, and, if necessary, solved so that the greatest possible part of our population may share in the country’s prosperity. Prosperity From Past and Future, To what extent is the appearance of prosperity enhanced by realizing on our profits and savings of past years and spending the proceeds as current income? To what extent are we deriving our prosperity from the future tn such ways as installment selling and its accom- panying credit expansion? In other words, does our prosperity derive altogether from our current la- mposed partly of past la- bors and/future labors? Are we saving as much as we should of our current earnings, to used as necessary in the e, or gfe we so self-satisfied as to } think future may always be as the presen Merger and Chain Store Problems. Again, \is our industrial organization precisely the right direction? the field expansion will bring i from owner m doubt there are ga , there may be losses in other values. The growth of our business enterprises must carry with it a full realization of the needs of the individual. A conservative use of the earnings which the past year has brought will insure that greater prosperity which will be still more firmly founded and in which an increasingly number of our citizens can share.

There seems to be good reason to ex- pect that 1929 will be a part of the period of business activities which be- gan in 1925 and which, with the usual minor fluctuations, has now been con- tinuous through four years. A baéls for this expectation is found in the ele- ments of fundamental strength in in- dustry and trade and in the earnest efforts of business men generally to conserve these elements of stre So long as this determination persists business activities will be in such ‘vol- ume as to permit guccess in return for useful service rendered with ability and efficiency. Business ‘activities in good volume also facilitate recovery on the part of flelds of business and sections of the country which have been handicapped, and enable them to strengthen the general situation. Looking toward 1929 we should re- member that the period which began in 1925 ased upon the great ef- post-war depressio hardest kind of wo business activity founded upon such endeavors as were t forth between 1921 and 1925 has a sound basis.

SENTENCES CUT THEREBY Fresnes-les-Rungis, France, Feb. 23 (A.P.)—In a house of silence, 1,250 white-masked men live without ever hearing each other’s voices or seeing each other's faces. They never hear their names spoken from the day they enter until the day they leave] It is France's model prison, known simply as “fresnes,” the last word in physical and mental isolation. Solitary confinement, usually con- sidered severely strict discipline, is the rule. The prisoners eat alone, sleep alone, work alone and even take their hour's daily exercise alone and in abso- lute silence. Strangest of all. several hundred at a time gather in the chapel, each in a little cell, seeing no one ex@gept the ‘priest, preacher or lecttrer and part of his face visible only to the person on the plativrm. The men enter the chapel hooded, go to numbered cells, which are in banked tiers, each cell one’s eyes, but with an aperture too small for the ead to pass. From the mome. hung around his neek, the prisoner is required to wear a white hood wheneyer he leaves his cell .nd he may not speak to his fellows. He sees the face of his guard from time to time, but no other, unless he is sent to the hospital or to the warden for discipline. Alone in his cell he works eight hours @ day, but good will and skill enable him to reduce the time to six hours, buy small comforts. The government receives 32 cents a day from contractors for each prisoner's work and gives from three-tenths to half the money to the prisoner. The prisoner never sees the money until he leaves, but half of it fs placed to his immediate credit for his little expenses.

NOTED" EUROPE Will Never Become Such, Now Believed by Worried Statement. 30,000,000 IN NUMBER Paris, Feb. 44 (AP) ‘The Indl- gestibility of much terri ory transferred by the Treaty of Versailies is a source of greater and greater worry in Euro- pean capitals. The treaty left 10,000,000 persons of minority nationalities under foreign flags. The recent election of autonomists by big majorities to the French Cham- ber of Deputies from Alanace is said by close political observers to be a sign of what exists among peoples of other ie- deemed territories but which come to the surface with less facility than in France. Jugoslavia is pointed to as the coun- try which, after France, is having the greatest trouble in bringing about har- mony between the old and the new populations of the country The reasons are much the same in the two countries. The Croats, like a considerable element of the Alsatian population, aspired to freedom from imperial domination. They promoted the union of different branches of the Slav family as an arm against the Austria-Hungary, but they did not put into their adhesion to the new Jugo- slav government the enthusiasm with which they greeted their deliverance. The explanation most frequently given js that if, under Austrian rule, the Croats were held with a rather heavy hand, they did have their own parlia- ment and their own loc™ government. These they were obliged to give up when they joined #their cousins, the Serbs, and they chaféd under what they considered to be a too great centraliza- tion of the affairs of the Kingdom at Belgrade. Linguistic and religious differences also entered into the problem in Jugo4 Slavia, as they do in Alsace. The Alsatians, also, had their parlia- ment and local government under the German Empire. loss of these lo- cal institutions, in the opinion of well- |SUBURBAN SOCIETY NEW Alexandria : Miss Cora Lee Cochran announces the engagement of her niece, Miss Jeanette Yates Cochran, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George B.

Baker, shot to death while robbing an aged storekeeper, was a “furloughed” convict and had been at liberty several weeks prior to his death. The governor also ordered all “fur- loughs” discontinued unless ordered by his office. RESORTS Florida.

Limecooly, local hotel man, believes people are getting more honest. At the close of 1927 there were 150 dozen towels to be replaced at the hotel which he manages, while fewer than 100 dozen have been replaced this year. Due either to a rebirth of ethical qualms or to the growing conviction that a towel is not worth larceny, the crash-collecting fad is dying out, Lime- cooly declares, and the seasoned travel- er’s linen display no longer looks like a section from the hotel red book. German Finds True Meaning of Billion Geneva, Feb. 23 (A.P.).—A prominent | German with a brain that runs to! figures, asked a friend whether he knew how much Germany must pay in rep- arations. “Do you know how much one Dillion is?” he asked. “It is a thousand million,” answered “It ts more,” said the German. “It is the number of minutes since the birth of Christ. They want us to pay) in German marks 130 times the oh ned ber of minutes since the beginning ot the Christian era.” Alsace was wrested from France while Catholicism was still the state religion. She was allowed to practice that re- ligion without hindrance by Protestant Germany. France, however, had since the loss of the province abrogated the concordat with the Vatican and sepa- rated the church from the state. French political leaders, headed by Poincaire, then President of the Repub- lic, found it expedient to reassure the Alsatians after the armistice respecting the practice of their religion. Poin- care at Strasburg made the formal promise that the customs and tradi- tions of Alsace, religious and ‘other- wise, would be respected by France. This promise was kept until 1924 when Edouard Herriot, on takihg pow- er, declared that the laws of the coun- try, including separation of church and state, must be applied to the whole country without exception. He also declared that there must be an end to religious instruction in the schools. Italy has a grave problem in the Tirol as has Roumania in Transsylvania. In those regions the difficulties are large- ly the treatment accorded to minori- ties. The Treaty of Versailles and spe- clal treaties between the interested powers were supposed to have safe- guarded the rights of minorities left under foreign rule, but the application of the agreements seems to meet with insuperable obstacles.

January earnings of the Capital “ Traction Co. fell $17,260.17 below the level reached in the month preceding and $16,006.49 below net income re- ported in January a year ago, according to the monthly statement of operations of the company, filsd yesterday with the Public Utilities Commission. . Last month’s earnings, according to the report, aggregated $40,079.05, as -against $57,339.22 in December and $56,175.54 in January, 1928. Operating revenues in January wer. $355,056.22, a decline of $20,610.01 under the month previous and $23,060.18 below figures for the same month .ast year. The traction company reported $259,- 92441 in operating expenses. which compares with $260.989.8€ in Decem%er and $262,887.71 in January, 1928. Taxes reached $27,117.63 and operating ex- penses and taxes combined aggregated $287,042.04. The report disclosed that operating income amounted to $68,014.18 in Jan- uary. As against this, $84,638.80 was shown in the month prior and §83,- 228.55 for the corresponding period of 1928. Nonoperating income getood at The income of 8§70,- 625.51 marked a falling off of $19,209.21 from the same item in December and & drop of $17,720.91 from a year ago. Revenue passengers carried in Jan- ‘Uuary numbered 4,792,138, as compared with 5,003,201 transported in the month previous, and 5,141,432 in Jan- wary, 1928.

Opening with a dinner of the ad- vertising committee tomorrow night at the Raleigh Hotel, this week's calen- dar of the District of Columbia Bank- ers Association is likely to prove one of the busiest of the season. The schedule calls for a meeting of the protective committee, under chair- manship of Howard Moran, Tuesday afternoon at association headquarters: @ forum luncheon Wednesday noon, and a business meeting of the fiduciaries section, under chairman- ship of F. P. H. Siddons, and the safe deposit section, under Charlies E. Howe, the same afternoon. The com- mercial trade activities committee will meet March & at association headquar- ters, Weather Affects Trade. While the general tone of trade re- mains cheerful and industry in “heavy” lines retains al] its previous activity, there is visible this week rather more complaint of severe winter weather retarding movements of sales- men, discouraging rural buying at re- ' tall, checking production of lumber and slowing down building operations and movements at mines, according to Bradstreet’s. The weekly review of business of R. G. Dun & Co., however, holds that. with the subsidence of the unsettled stock market speculation and with lessened tension in stock market rates, general conditions have developed a more wholesome aspect. The credit status remains the chief point of in- terest and still holds uncertainties, says the review, yet financial move- ments have become more orderly and disturbing phases in trade are over- shadowed by the constructive elements. Investment Trend Noted. There is no immediate danger of ad- verse effects upon trade from the di- version of funds into security market channels, according to the weight of opinion of authorities, summarized by Gage P. Wright, morgage of the Business Economic Digest. “The doubtful factors in the outlook for trade and industry continue to emanate pally from the credit situation,” Mr. Wright states. “More and more, authorities refer to the out- look for business as being largely de- pendent upon the results of the con- fiict between business and money. Although none are willing to infer that credit is not being provided for com- ee me U.S. American Currency, Well Managed, Held Great Power in World. Control of Credit Is Tail That Wags ‘Golden Dog,’ Economist Says. By IRVING FISHER, THE STORY SO FAR. Professor of Economics in Yale Uni- versity, E In previous chapters Prof, Fisher showed that the failure to perceive that the dollar expands or shrinks in value constitutes the.money illu- sion—that instead of a high cost of living caused by a rise in com- modity prices, it is reaily the dol- lar which varies, Price levels would not change if the circulation of goods and the circulation of money were both to grow greater or less at the same rate, but they do not. The money flow is extremely un- steady as compared with the goods flow, which accounts for the various periods of inflation and deflation which have disastrously affected price levels both here and abroad. Prof. Fisher then points out how inflation hurts bondholders and re- wards stockholders, whereas defia- tion works the other way-——the shifting value of the elastic dollar is always hurting some portion of the people—be they rich or poor. In the last chapter the author provisionally accepts the doctrine that monetary earthquakes and tor- nadoes can not be helped, and that all we can do is put our houses in order so as to withstand them— going on to explain different in- teresting measures which wise peo- ple might take to profit by, or at least not be hurt by, unstable money. One measure is to watch quotations of the dollar’s buyjng power and to use these figures for translating business accounts into a uniform standard by means of in- dex numbers which are also useful in forecasting business conditions. Another protection against the elas- tic dollar consists in obtaining pro- fessiona] advice and warnings as to probable business fluctuations. If we can see clearly what will happen to the buying power of money there is liable to be a rare opportunity to “make money.” ' [ ae / In tio last chapter we saw that in- dex numbers, by showing changes in the price level and in the buying power of the dollar, may be used to) shield the individual from the effects of in- flation and deflation by affording a means of reac‘usting contracts, espe- cially those of wages, rents and bonds This use of tre index number mends, or supplements, the unstable dollar, so to speak, by putting a patch on it from the outside. It has never been applied, -~4 probab~ never will be, to the great bulk of contracts, both be- e-"ge it is too much trouble and bs- cause the money illusion prevents most people from seeir; the need of it. But instead of thus using indcx numbers for mendiny the dollar fron: the outside to counteract {*s fluctua- tions, they may be used for mending it from the inside to prevent its fluc- tuations. To stabilize the buying power of monetary units has long been a dream of economists. And after the World War, with its new lessons in rm -netary irstability, this dream has. little hy little, approached realization. Instead of resting in a monetary fa- talism, some economists, bankers and statesmen have come to recognize that nearly all inflation and deflation are man-made, and why should we not therefore have a man-made stabiliza- tion? We had already seen the need of an “elastic currency” by which the money loaned by banks should cor- respond somewhat with business needs We are now seeing that we can com- plete that correspondence between the by a better control money.

When a stable weight was insisted on, it was, in fact, a great improvement over coins of different metal alloys, varying in weight and fineness, and overdebased and sweated coins. But, of course, the only virtue in a fixed weight coin is that it is not usually so variable in buying power as /an undefined weight or as irredeem- able paper money, with nothing behind | it to restrain a fall in its buying power. | This partial improvement in value sta- | bility is the sole benefit from having coins of fixed weight. The mere fixity of weight, of itself, has no other vir- tue whatever. Tail Wegs * + Dog. We have seen that the problem un- derlying the stabilizing of the dollar is to get a beter correspondence between the two great streams, the circulation of /money and the circulation of goods. This correspondence will not fully take care of itself even with the most “elas- tic” currency. But the correspondence is not out of our reach since the money stream is under the control of the is- ,suers of money. The great issuers of money today are the central banks. They are properly expected to provide an “elastic currency” to expand or shrink with the expansion or shrink- age of the business to be done by it. Under modern conditions, with ‘our vast credit structure, the old theory of an automatic gold standard, beyond the reach of any voluntary control, has ceased to have much relrtion to reality. According to that theory, gold was sup- posed to derive its value chiefly from its use in the arts, and any credit cur- rencies, such as paper money or de- posits subject to check, redeemable in gold, were assured the same value as the gold itself. Any reaction which these “secondary” sorts of money might have on the value of gold itself was negligible. But today this very reac- tion is the main factor. Credit cur- rency has grown to he a large? part of our money than the gold stock into which it is redeemable. In England and America the proportion of credit currency to gold is about 7 to 1; the tail now wags the dog. Today, then, instead of saying that the paper dollar or the credit dollar derives its value from the gold dollar into which it is convertible, it would be truer to say that the gold dollar derives its value from the credit dollar into which it is convertible. And since the volume of circulating credit is controllable and controlled, we have already a managed currency in spite of ourselves, If we insure scientific management in place of hit-or-miss management we shall thereby attain stabilization. Beginning of Scientific Control, At several international conferences following the World War the question of stabilizing the buying power of money was discussed. Finally, at the economic conference at Genoa in 1922 an epoch was marked by the unanimous adoption by the representatives of more than 30 nations of resolutions favoring such stabilization and indicating some of the methods to be employed. These great central banks of the world con- cerning the use to be made of gold re- serves and as to the ciscOunt policy to There has come to be since the. specific steps which should immediate- | ly be taken, adding: of money.

The convention should means of economizing the use of go.d maintaining reserves in the form of foreign balances, such, for example, as a zold exchange standard or an in- ternational clearing system——” Federal Reserve Activities. Still more epoch-making was the iIn- auguration of actual efforts in this direction by the Federal Reserve sys- tem in 1922. Officials of the Federal Reserve Board and banks realized that, in America, with huge gold reserves threatening inflation, all possibile steps should be taken to prevent it. Had they: not taken such action but con- tinued to follow blindly the profit mo- tive, they would have loaned and re- loaned their gold reserves until the credit structure had been doubled. Then the reserve ratio, instead of be- ing, as it is, nearly 80 per cent would, under the profit motive, have sunk more nearly to the legal ratios—35 per cent for deposit liabilities and 40 per cent for Federal Reserve notes, This doubled credit structure would prob- ably have led to a doubled price level, with a consequent inflation quite com- parable to the inflation of 1917-20, and might have had as disastrous an end. Such a let-alone policy would not have safeguarded our dollar, but would have depreciated it, in spite of its fixed weight. Confronted with this prospect and with memories still fresh both of the disastrous inflation during and follow- ing the war, or of the even more dis- astrous deflation of 1920-’21, the lead- ers in the Federal Reserve system in- stinctively sought to avoid repeating so shortsighted a policy. The previous inflation and deflation had given a rude shock to those complacent bank- ers who had thought money necessa- rily sound if only it was always cou- vertible into a fixed weight of gold. It was also realized, perhaps dimly, that both the inflation and the de- flation were largely the result of hu- least—+-~ it wee resolved that in the future such discre‘ion should be more wisely exercised in order better to serve the public interest. Then ws born into the world a new policy, al- most unnoticed and scarcely self-con- scious, yet destined, I believe, to : place the traditional policy of drift- ing helplessly and hopelessly on the supposedly inevitable tides of money. We Have a Managed Currency. The dollar, in short, has been par- tially safeguarded against wide fluctu- ations ever since the Federal Reserve system finally set up the open market committee in 1922 to buy and sell sge- curities, especially Government bonds, for the purpose of influencing the credit situation. “his committee was recognized in 1923 “with primary re- g-rd to the accommodation of com- merce and business, and to the effect of such purchases or sales on the gen- eral credit situation.” The Federal Reserve system thereby tacitly recog- hized its duty to control or influence credit, and seemed astonished, even a bit frightened, to discover that it pos- sessed the tremendous power over credit which it has. This power, rightly used, makes the Federal Reserve system ‘the greatest public-service institutior in the world. The huge stock of gold and holdings of securities of the twelve Federal Re- serve banks enable them, in their deal- banks, to buy or sell large quantities of securities in the open market, thus either increasing or decreasing the loanable funds of the member banks. included cooperative action among the. in the pur- | _chasing power of gold which might | otherwise result from the simultaneous , embody some | When they buy securities they thereby put money into circulation.

The Federal! Reserve system does and should safe- guard the country, to some extent, against serious infletion and deflation. Importance of Credit Control. Our prosperity has been looked on with pride by natives and with envy by foreigners, and almost as Many ex- planations of it have been given as there have been onlookers. American genius and inventiveness, capitalism, labor efficiency, horse power, machin- ery, democracy, prohibition—all these have been mentioned as factors in our prosperity, a prosperity which was maintained until the cumulative effect of a falling price level over a period of two years began to be felt. But the cause whieh is probably the most im- portant of all, that is, stable money since 1923l1—approximately stable—has been al] but overlooked. But it is no mere coincidence, I be- lieve, that, of the 10 periods in our history since 1849 mentioned in Chap- ter III, the tenth (1922-1928) has been unprecedented in prosperity end un- precedented in stability. In fact some of the other factors such as labor ef- ficiency and contentment, scientific management, saving, and the mechani- gation of industry, have been made easier by the finer adjustments and smoother running of the industrial or- ganization due to the greater stability of the dollar. This factor has escaped general ob- servation because of our old friend the money illusion. It is just as diffi- cult to see and realize how the mere absence of inflation or deflation can produce prosperity as it is to see and realize how the presence of these con- ditions can produce adversity. In fact, it is even more difficult; for the ab- sence of inflation and deflation will attract even less attention than their presence. A most notable exception to the gen- eral failure to observe our new policy Reginald McKenna, former chancellor of the British exchequer and now pres- ident (“chairman”) of the largest bank in the world. In the Midland Bank | Monthly Review for January-February, | 1927, he said that the Bank of England ‘has survived for 80 years because the | bank act of 1844, which is supposed to govern the credit situation, has always been suspended in time of crises, so that credit may be better fitted to the requirements of business, instead of being, as required by the act, arbitrarily restricted by the size of the gold re- serve.

m os eG od et a ee mm FE : STOCK MART TAKES THREE-DAY HOLIDAY Much of Recent Weeks’ Gloom Vanishes as Price Drop Seems Checked. CREDIT OUTLOOK. CLOUDY New York, Feb. 23 (A.P.).—The entire machinery of the stock market rested today. The Saturday closing twq weeks ago, and those of last Bpring, were for the purpose of catch- ing up with back business, and com- mission house and investment bankers’ otiices hummed with activity as usual. But today, not only was the stock ex- change closed, but members’ offices were closed also, and it was a holiday for clerks as well as floor traders. The banks were open for the usual Baturday half day, but as all securities markets, and all of the commodity markets with the exception of wheat, followed the stock exchange’s example in taking a three-day holiday from Washington’s birthday to Monday, Wall Street wore a Sunday aspect. Many of the shops and restaurants of the financial district had decided that business would not warrant staying open. . Much of the gloom that pervaded speculative sentiment when the stock exchange was closed two weeks ago, while the Federal Reserve Board’s warn- ing against excess use of credit for speculation was fresh, had been lifted by today, and traders enjoyed their holiday in a more peaceful frame of mind. The drop in stock prices ap- peared to have been checked. The volume of business fell off during the week to the 3,000,000-share-day aver- age, and with business in reduced vol- ume, traders hope price levels may be maintained until the credit atmosphere clears. The credit outlook for the next few weeks was not regarded as cheerful. However, next week the month-end money strain will be felt, and soon thereafter will occur the shifting of balances incident to the March 15 in- come tax payments and new Treasury financing. The Treasury will issue new short-term notes to replace the $570,- 000,000 in 3% and 3% per cent notes that mature on that date. With the sensitiveness of the call money market, intensified by the Federal Reserve policy of eurtailing speculative credit, tbe call loan rate shot up to 10 per cent on February 15, ‘and credit require- ments then were light compared to what they will be March 15.

I felt that a record of never having wavered Where the welfare of the game was at stake was sufficient and I was willing to leave the future to my successors. I had no desire for publicity. | mever had sought publicity. The happenings of 94 years—strife, intrigue, planning—were a jum- ble in my mind. My sole wish was to dismiss a entirely that I might more easily regain | health I had tossed aside by remaining too as the helm. Now after rest and complete disassociation from the game I can talk of what remains with me as the highlights of a stormy career—the little 3 that became matters of consequence, the for power, the strategy employed to pro- tect what we had gained or to capture what we Meeded and the gradual change of the game. Price of Honest Baseball Is Ungeasing Vigilance. Certain of these things now stand out in my Mind in bold relief, but I still place ahead of @eerything, just ds I did from the day the Ameri- can League expanded, that the price of clean, Jyonest baseball is eternal vigilance. On this thought the American League was Paised from-anh infant of uncertain future into tife giant of today. “2 Paithful adherence to this thought banished Zowdyism frohi baseball throughout the land; slos¢d up bars. im the ‘ball parks and elevated the e to a point where it was so soundly estab- ed that -its security and safety wasn't even threatened when. the league's first scandal—the treachery of eight White Sox players in the world geries of 1919—was revealed. Through the years We had built up a public confidence. When the test came the public didn't desert. Today there is a new order of things. The call- ber of owner has changed. Thefe is a smug com- Ney being displayed by those who occupy tions as guardians of the game.

ERY Sasi Commissioner's Salary Is Not Trouble Insurance. The evil doers who continually menace not only . but all sports, ate not awed by tom- such as is prevalent. The bigger the sport the farther these menaces will reach to accom- plish a purpose. The evils I mention are the game that broke through the. barrier :n the series of 1919. Only an unce watch can dam up thése sources of pollution t the average owner today is not concerned over these pitfalls. Iie y believes a $65,000 annual salary for a estast commissioner is ironclad insurance trouble. . is still another menace that sooner or is going to disturb those who believe their tion is unassailable.

We were playing in.mill- fem dollar parks, whereas we had started in wooden layouts costing only a few thousand dol- each. We were an organization with a bulg- . war chest and paying its executive $40,000 anvally. But it is no easy mattemfor a man to ae aside the reins; so I delayed my departure from year to year until my -health was broken retirement became’ not a matter of choice put of necessity. a aee Money for Third League, Millions, Is Avatlable. Had I stepped out earlier, it is likely that there would be in existence today a third major league. A proposal to launch such a venture was put be- me several years ago when it became evi- t that I was not in sympathy with the fashion which baseball was being conducted. This was a proposal that had miilions of dollars behind but when it was first made I rejected it and when it was renewed, after my resignation, I was ttling for my life and in no position to assume great a burden. The money for a venture such as this is still gailable. but it is a task for a younger man. Sventually it will come. Baseball's success, its display of wealth and extravagance, invites it. Then baseball's house, cunningly built to resist disturbance from within. but with no thought of ble resistance from without, will display its weaknesses.. The complexion of the American League under- q@ent a change because the owners wanted it. In our expansion days when we successfully chal- the seemingly secure position of the Na- League.

American League Met Gambling Issue Squarely These men gave wholehe -tedly of time and money either in our assault that cost the National about 50. of its best players, or aided in laying t@e foundation on which the league was built up. This old order has been displaced by greed, ness and petty jealousies.

They tried to suppress me, tut £ ceased talking only after I had recited the Some years later in a joint meeting, at which of National Game Personalities. full story to them. What we had asked of them was to share the expense of hiring detectives to watch what was going on in Boston. What our Boston investigation really revealed was the conspiracy that resulted in the permanent banishment from the game of Hal Chase and Lee Magee. They were charged, while playing with the Cincinnati team, with having plotted to throw a game to the Braves at Boston, but the scheme went wrong and the Reds won the game because some player hit a home run unexpectedly. This was the second charge against Chase. The National winked in the other case. Part of the advance agreement was that the two players put up money of their own. The gamblers asked this as a means of keeping the conspirators from changing their minds at the last moment. Magee’s money was in the form of a check that proved worthless and the gambler who held the worthless paper was the one who squealed. He exposed the entire story to one of our operatives. I believe the gambler’s name was Costello. Magee, after being permanently barred by the National League, went to court to protect himself, but was beaten. The National League's peculiar attitude thai baseball was above reproach and that nothing dis- honest could possibly happen to it came up again in connection with the alleged throwing of a game between the Cubs and Phillies at Chicago in August of 1920. The gambling ring participat- ing in this extended through the Middle Wes" from Kansas City to Pittsburgh. Frank Navin, president of the Detroit club, learned of the con- spiracy and promptly communicated with me. In his letter Navin mentioned the name of a Pittsburgh club pitcher who was supposed to be on the gamblers’ calling list. I forwarded the letter to President Heydler of the National League, merely with the idea of protecting that league. When Barney Dreyfuss, the Pittsburgh owner, learned one of his players had been mentioned in connection with crookedness he didn't pen Navin a note of thanks, but threatened to sue him. It later developed that the frameup was true, although no Pittsburgh player was involved so far as ever was learned. It was this affair that precipitated the Black Sox exposure, which will be discussed later. Big Clubs In Saddle; Petty Jealousies Exist. It has been said repeatedly that baseball was saved in 1920 because Landis was installed as commissioner and that its house is in better order today than ever before. As a matter of fact there is discontent. The big money clubs that were ‘responsible for Landis are in the saddle and the weaker clubs are forced to ride along. The actual undercurrent of feeling made itself evident folir or five years ago. The American League owners,: after assuring Landis that 4n attack I had made on him was nothing to worry about, turned around and voluntarily raised my salary from $30, to $40,000. The Landis crowd regarded this as a hostile gesture, so to retaliate engineered a move to increase Landis’ salary from $50,000 to $65,000. Some of the American League clubs saw no justification for this increase, but were helpless. When Landis’ first term neared its expiration he entertained some fears over not being reelected. He had openly given the impression that he didn't care much for the job and his followers were continually pointing out that he might quit if annoyed too much. But when Landis began to fret about losing his position he made quiet hints that were intended to intimidate the owners. He professed an intention to go on the Chautauqua circuit and expose the ills of baseball. Landis Controls $500,000 Fund; Clubs Need It. Landis has helped to place himself on a4 barrel of dynamite .by his refusal to give up moneys !n his possession. His fund now reaches the enor- mous total of approximately a half million dollars. About three years ago at one of the joint meetings a motion was introduced calling for the division of this money among the sixteen clubs, reserving enough for Landis’ actual needs for that year. Not a few of the clubs actually were in need of this money. They had experienced rather rough seasons financially. Landis, for some unknowa reason, refused to put the motion to a vote. The money is still in his possession. His position in this matter was untenable, but he was acting Ou the advice of Comiskey'’s lawyer. In the fall of 1893 baseball was at a low ebb. The Western League, which was a development of the one-time Northwestern League, and later the Western Association, had blown up. There had been no Western League in 1893. At this time I was engaged in newspaper work at Cincinnati. Prior to this I had spent two years at Marietta College and then switched to the Cincinnati Law School. I had always believed a poy should make his own way and after a year as a law student I decided I'd seek labor in the newspaper field. I started as a suburban corre- spondent and soon attracted the attentl ity editor. : Shortly after 1 was offered a staf job which I regarded as the ultimate, 50 I abandoned my law studies for regular employment. That was in 1886. 1 wrote politics, did night police for two years, dabbled in sports, became city editor and finally drifted back into sports, to remain there until I turned to a new field which was to take the next 34 years of my life. Ban Heads Western League; Salary $2,500. It was while ~ tng baseball in Cincinnat: that 1 became friendly with Comiskey who was manager of the team at the time. From him I learned that a move wes afoot to reorganize the Western League. He tolc me about a meeting to be held and that a president would be elected. The meetirg Comiskey told me about was held at Indianapolis in N>vember, i893. I attended and went back to Cincinnati with the title of president, secretary and treasurer of the Western League. Actually I was president, secretary and treasurer of nothing. My s:.’ary was to be $2,500 a year. I intended to continue with my news- paper work, which by this time I had learned to love. At that meeting it was decided to make up 4 circujt of Milwaukee, Kansas City, Sioux City, Minneapolis, Toledo, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Indianapolis. Detroit wasn’t represented but one of the others present received a wire from George Vanderbeck, a wealthy Detroit man who was in California at the time. He asked to be considered for the Detroit franchise and it was awarded to him. Later he came East and I went with him to Detroit to select a park site near Belle Isle. This was the first move of what in a few years develi- opend into the Detroit American League Club. Our first season (1894) with the revived Western League developed a ae for Sioux City, which was managed to W. H. Watkins, Dut the cit; failed to support its team. Before the 1895 season started we had moved the Sioux City franchise to St. Paul and awarded it to Comiskey, who shortly before had finished his career as a player and was ambitious to branch out as man- aging owner ’ In November of 1894 I called a Western League meeting at the old Wellington Hotel in Chicego E went there with the purpose in mind of resigning. I liked my newspaper associates and conditions in Cincinnati. I thought my future was in the news- paper game. J had already been in it for eight ‘ Byron Bancroft Johnson, for twenty-seven years the only president the American League ever boasted, as he appears today. Johnson started to map a career for himself along legal lines, but newspaper work lured him to new fields and then baseball called him for thirty-four years of service. When he retired it His first salary in the game was $2,500. had grown to $40,000 per annum. years. One year in baseball had convinced me it was mainly a matter of grief. Before we went into the meeting room Jimmy Manning, of the Kansas City Club, came to me and whispered something about being with me tooth and nail. George Ellis, who repfesented Grand Rapids, Mich., assured me of his club’s fidelity. Several others made similar remarks. Not @ soul in the world knew of my fiitention to resign, so I couldnt understand what these men were talking about. I made inquiry and soon learned there had been active campaigning to unseat me. It developed that John 7. Brush, who was president of the Cincinnati Club of the Na- tional League and who had an interest in the Indianapolis franchise of our league, had been working against my reelection. It was this little matter that changed my entire life, and it was the stert of a feud between Brush and myself that carried on until a few months before his death. na Sag Pp A OEBOC: us Kiem HF 4 ~ ee Mer ea > Cincinnati pltetographer/ way back in lean days when estern League, over which he pfesided, was just a shaky infant and nobody was even thinking of a second major with which to challenge the monopoly enjoyed by the Natidnal League.

Any- way, aS soon as I heard Khad opposition my love for battle was aroused. said to myself that nobody gould railrcad me of a job and I resolved to stick.

He made no attempt to nominate his candidate for my job. Shortely after this I abandoned my newspaper work and moved the league offices to Chicago. Before this meeting broke up we sent out and located Comiskey. He came into the room and formal] transfer of the Sioux City Club to St. Paul took place with Comiskey the new owner. Mean- while, Brush, nettled over the manner in which his scheme had been wrecked, had returned to the lobby of the hotel. After Comiskey had been given the St. Paul franchise I went down_stairs for a breath of fresh air, and the first man T-encountered was Brush. e t know that I had knogTedge of what he about going back to the haberdashery store, Dut —. he replied he could forget that if there Was & managerial job available. 1 arranged for him to get the position and he remained tn St. Louis until close to the end of the 1909 season, when he resigned because of the poor showing of the Browns.- The place was given to Jack O'Connor, who previously had done important work, which I will mention later. . John McGraw Deserts From American League. The American League as a major and foe of the National proceeded almost unmolested and secure until] about midseason of 1902. Then the treach- ery of John McGraw and John Brush hit us. We regarded it as treachery at that time On the part of Brush I later conceded that it was only what we were trying to and had been doing *% him and his associates. McGraw a year prior to this had asked us to let him in because he Was peeved about something and that, from m view- point. made his case different from that of Brush McGraw threw what then seemed a bomb into our ranks when he conducted some usiness pro- cedure that included transfer in saloon holdings and the leap of himself and five ballplayers to the New York Giants. Two of the players he took with him (Kelly and Seymour) were later transferred to Cincinnati. To the Giants, he took McGinnity, Cronin, McGann and Bresnahan. It developed later that $15,000. not an insignificant amount in those days, had been involved. I knew. at least suspected almost instantly, that this was another outcropping of Brush's animosity toward a rival. Brus at that time was just work- ing his way into the New York Club. He also was in the midst of a campaign to gain control of the entire National League. Andy Friedman was the actual president of the New rk Giants. About the same period *. G.

Whence came it, from New England or from Vir- ginia? Did the early settlers of the Western Re- serve from Connecticut and Massachusetts type the Ohio mind? All of these questions were put to Walker 5. uel, the able head of the Washington bureau of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and he replied in one a QO *= may not be running the whole show like it. a sentence: “It has been an intellectual or educa- tional impulse from the beginning, with an in- grense religious feeling mixed in. There’s a college at every crossroad in Ohio and a university in every county seat.” James Ford Rhodes, the historian, himself an Ohioan, the brother-in-law of Mark Hanna, seems to agree with Mr. Buel, for in his history of the United States he says that the dominating im- pulse came from the Western Reserve, where “the puritanical love of liberty, law and order existed in a marked degree, while the narrowness of spirit common to provincial communities of New Eng- Sand has been broadened by the necessity of adopting larger methods in the freer atmosphere of the West.” In a study of the Ohioans who are doing the et of the Government in Washington one runs this impulse in almost every character. Every one of these men and women is college bred, and back of most of them its the terribly earnest th that has long been associated with the name Oberlin. They take their work. se- riously, they take their religion seriously and will fight for it, and they take their politics more se- riously than everything else. and do fight for i¢ end over it, as this plain tale shal] undertaxe te tell. ® One misses the gentle strain of humor and wit among these terribly earnest people. He knows they have the salt of it, an Attic salt it is, too, but-he feels that it would be dreadfully out place for one of them to undertake to tell a ke. But-you tell your favorite story, if you have one, and if you can tell it pithily, and you will see that they do appreciate your humor, and ) maybe everybody's humor. The whole world is familiar with the fact that Chief Justice Taft. who heads the list of eminent Ohioans here, is the very embodiment of good humor. It is said of him that he made it possible for the Supreme Court to smile while on the bench. This is drawing it too fine on the court, perhaps, and on the great men who have sat on that august tribunal, but it is sort of a holy joy to see Judge Taft enjoy himself when someone, a lawyer, of course, tries to inject a bit of fun into the proceedings.

Nicholas Longworth probably has more personal friends than any man who ever came to Congress; more friends among his associates on both sides of the House. ne of his bosom cronies is Finis J. Garrett. the minority leader. sho certainly was not bred on the same social plane with the Speaker. for he took his pa from no silver spoon, but in the good old-fashioned essee way, at the fountain itself. Garrett is e son of a poor farmer; Longworth was born to great wealth. Both have risen far above their surroundings and environment and met on a common level where the sole test is character and bility. There is nothing more beautiful one can ink of than this close friendship of these two wen. David and Jonathan were buddieg of che same sort, The Speaker has little of the Oberlin crusading impulse in him, but he has always taken his work im Congress seriously and has done it well. as an able and ambitious man should do it. But he has cultivated other things that men like. He ig what Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, no mean , would call a good fiddler. Whether he gould hold a hand in an oldtime fiddlers’ con- test remains to be seen, but he could probably direct the Philadelphia Orchestra or hold down %, chair in the famed Cin¢innati Conservatory of Music. 2 It is in the Senate, however, where Ohio shines as no State bas ever shone before, with the Vice President and five senators. Was there ever such @ galaxy there before as this: Charles G. Dawes, of Marietta, Ohio; George W. Norris, of Sandusky; James A. Reed, of Mansfield; Theodore E. Burton, of Ci@eland; Simeon D. Fess, of Yellow Springs; and C. C. Dill, of Fredericktown. Two Democrats and four Republicans. Perhaps Senator Norris should be given his proper classification of Pro- ve, in which he is not alone among the , a8 we shall see later. Gen.

Senator Curtis is going to have a hard time of it fitting into the niche Dawes has made for himself. About the yei 5000 A. D., when the historian comes to write up this U. 8. A. of ours, he will put down after the Dawes: “He's the’ man who revised the ancient rules of the Federal Senate.” The Constitution allows a State but two sena- tore, but Ohio had so much material she got the law by letting Missouri have her Jim Nebraska her Norris and Washington her pill.

So does Gen. ind Ernest Hurat s, McBride or «% a ng Pa Roy as 7 job of Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. It mattered not that Renick William Dunlap was secretary of agricul- ture of Ohio and had been dairy and food com- missioner of that State and also a member of the Grange and the Ohio Farm Bureau. Those were counted in his favor. If he was good enough for Ohio, said Mr. Coolidge, in that inimitable man- ner of his, he was good enough for Uncle Sam, and that’s the way he happened to leave his com- fortable home and his bank and his big chair at Columbus to come to Washington and help straighten out the terrible mess the war got the farmer into. Within close call of Mr. Dunlap's voice another Ohioan, a different sort of scientist, is doing a day’s work. Joseph William Tel] Duvel, a long name, it is true, but it fits the man, is crop tech- nician for The Department of Agriculture. He was a botanist at the Ohio agricultural experiment sta- tion before coming to Washington, and for sixteen long years was with the Bureau of Plant Industry here. During the World War he was switched to the grain administration, and now is in charge of the grain futures administration. He's the boy who sits up nights worrying about the meat and bread of Senator Norris’ constituents. All the scientists from Ohio are not in the De- pertment of Agriculture. however.

Judge Taft may ‘thhold a whole fist full of complimentary degrees from Oxford and Aberdeen and Edinboro and other European academies, but he has nothing on Dr. Bauer, who after grabbing off all the degrees the University of Cincinnati could give him hiked over to the University of Berlin and took his A. M. and Ph. D. and then came back to Cincinnati and Brown to get a couple more. He is an astronomer and magnetic computer, and has been director of the department of terrestrial magnetism at Carnegie Institute since 1904. He, too, is one of the noble eleven who understands the Einstein theory, bet- ter than Einstein himself, perhaps. w,uifice it to say, of course, that every scientific body in the country and in Europe is honored to have )r Bauer’s name on its books. Mr. Birdseye is am Oberlin man, but he was not satisfied with what Oberlin gave him s0 he topped it off with some real post grad work at Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati. With the U.S Geological Survey since 1909, he was chief topo- graphical engineer in the U. 8. A. and served on the staff in France. Volcanoes have no terrors for him, for he explored and mapped the area around flaming Kilauea in Hawaii, climbed Mount Rainer’s lofty peak and mapped it, and then to show that he didn't care if death did embrace him he led an expedition through the Grand Canyon by boat in 1923. These Ohio scientists would shake nands with a rattlesnake, if need be. There is one Ohio scientist here who has done a great work so quietly that only his associates know of it: Dr. John Walter Kerr, hygienisi, former assistant surgeon general ot,the U. S. Pub- lic Health Service, native of the village of Grand Rapids. The Medical Corps of the United States in all branches is recruited from the ranks of the poor. There is a reason for this. It offers im- mediate employment at living wage, opportunities for doing great work in research, and fame and finally compensation in old age. Dr. Kerr, after graduating at Western Reserve Medical College, enlisted in the Public Health Service in 1898 and since 1913 he has been assistant surgeon general, until 1928. An Ohio President, McKinley, picked him out and sent him to Hong song, China, to prevent the spread of plague and cholera to the Philippines and ports of the United States. Even then he had entered up@a his great work of find- ing the cause of diseases and preventing their spread. For thirteen years, 1905-18, he was in charge of scientific research at the Hygienic Laboratory, and under his directiou Goldberger made his epochal discoveries in pellagra, and Mc- Coy and Francis and numerous others wrought mighty deeds with the microscope. Dr. Kerr is an authority on infant mortality and on milk. His name is signed to many bulletins and articles on public health. All of this fine achievement. his friends will tell you, is as nothing compared to the fact that he is a simple, old-fashioned Chris- tian, an elder in the Presbyterian Church, a mighty man in wrestling with the Lord in prayer. His science hasn't affected his relations with his God. We find a Luthéran strain in a judge from Ohio who presides as chief justice of the Court of Ap- peals of the District of Columbia, the Hon George E. Martin, of Lancaster. After taking his A. B. at Wittenberg College he went to Germany and, in the late lamented kaiser’s own beloved Heidelberg, he dueled and crammed Latin and philosophy and drank good beer for two quickly passing years. Then he came home and studied law and began to take the people’s money through the courts and through his bank. They liked the ease and courtesy with which he did this, for we find him climbing from one Judgeship to another until 1911, when President Taft sent for him to come on here and give the Court of Customs Appeals some re- spectability. He did this so well that President Coolidge made him presiding judge and then h'isted him out of that job to his present one. This naturally created a vacancy in the customs court; 80 Mr. Coolidge looked all over the United States, as is his wont, for the right man and found him in Charles Sherrod Hatfield, of West Millgrove, Ohio. Judge Hatfleld was educated in Indtana— more shame on him—but he soon shook the dust of Hanover and Indiana off his feet and got back in the good graces of Mother Ohio by taking a few degrees at Ohio State. He was a natural-born Ohio politician before he became Judge, for he ran a successful campaign as State chairman of his party in 1916. Whenever there's a job open in Washington. Oberlin has the right man for it. That may noc be how Ernest Harvey Van Fossan, of Lisbon, hap- pened to filt across President Coolidge’s eye when he wanted to fill a vacancy tn the Board of Tax Ap- . ‘ peals. Probably it is not, for Mr. Van Fossan had already made his mark as counsel and member of the War Claims Board, as secretary of the Specia) Panaina Canal Commission and with the Shipping Board. There are no more jobs open to Ohio law- yers at this writing, so we pass on to the fighters. All of Ohio’s great soldiers now in Washington are riding iron hosses just like Olid Hickory. You'!l! find Grant and Sherman and the whole kit and bilin’ of ‘em on duty night and morning, ready to rattle a sword with amy doggone fighter that comes waving a flag at them. Of those alive who are here two of them are Devil Dogs, who had fine records in the Spanish War, when Cervera’s fleet was sunx at Santiago de Cubat These fine old gentlemen (Old used most respectfully) are Gen. George Rich- ards and Gen. Rulus H, Lane. Both are Annapoiis nen, Who went into the Marines early and fough:~ wherever there was any fighting to be done. Co! Stanley H Ford is on the general staff as chief of military intelligence, an important position. By the same token:it is not easy to find an Ohian in a swivel chair at the Navy If aero- nautics were not such a big problem just now. probably there would .be none, but Capt. Ernest J. King, who wears his original buckeye, is as- sistant chief of the bureau. This is not strange, for it was an Ohloan—Orville Wright—who made that job possible. Mr. Wright is a member of the Nationa] Advisory Board of Aeronautics and can be seen here whenever he is needed. Everybody in the world; exceptin’ a few, has heard of the chief of the United States Weather Bureau, Charles F, Marvin. He has been in that very responsible position a long while. There ts no telling how much he is worth to this country. The farms could not operate, Lindbergh could not fly and none of us could keep warm but for Mr. Mar- vin. He's a very modest man, but one thing he Will brag about, and that is: “I’m a native of Ohio, Sir.” When he and Dr. Bauer and Capt.

Mis answer was “In azfy list of the four first men of Washington you would have to place Mr, Edson.” And &o that its where this wonderful old banker, lawyer and. philan- thropist will have to be placed. He is Ohlo’s big- gest contribution to the civic life of the National Capital. Coming nere from the Union army in 1863, after he had been shot full of Confederate bullets, Mr. Edson graduated from George Wasnte ington University and then went to the Treasury Department, where he clerked until 1875, since which time he has been a banker and founder of banks and — companies and sharing in every civic and philanthropic enterprise started here No movement of this kind failed when his name was identified with it. The Hst of things he has done is long; not few are the clubs and societies of 3 cultural nature and the philanthropies with which he is now and has been identified. Jimmie Bryan could dream the,great Press Building into form, but John Joy Edson stepped in and gave it. sub- stance. When one studies the active and busy ille of this quiet, strong gentleman and sees the many things he has accomplished he must wonder that my lawyer friend included three other names in big list. Often public office was pressed on him. TWo of our Presidents tried to obtain his services in tue_ District government, but he kept himself free for his larger work for the community, and only wm his old age did he accept a place on the Board, of Public Welfare. * While not so varied ixPher activities as Mr, Ed- son has been, Miss Mabel T.

When it came into existence Justice William R. Day was its first president, and he and the long-time secretary, William L. Symons, spent many nights in the old judge’s library going over the records and laying plans for strengthening the organization. Under Senator Burton’s presidency it is now full grown and lusty. Among the : loans constantly in the spotlight | are Rev. Dr. James Shera Montgomery, c of the House and pastor of the Vice President- elect, Senator Curtis, of Kansar’ Atlee Pomerene, a former United States senator and now counsel in the “oll cases;” David R. Crissinger, former gov- ernor of the Federal Reserve Board; George B. Christian, who was Harding’s secretary, and a host of others who are scattered through the v execute departments of the Government. The famous press gallery of Congress is crowded with sons of Ohio, led by the gallant Buel of the Plain Dealer, who, unlike his confrere from Ten- nessee, has written no books, but he is sharpening his pencil for that task. When these Ohio boys come into the gallery they are such an impressive lot that all the other fellows stand up and salute. Here is a very incomplete lit of the Ohio jour- nalists who are (figuratively speaking) showing their jealous friends back home how the real thing is done here in Washington: Ed Gableman, of the Enquirer; Carl Ruth, of thé Cleveland News; Roy Vernon, of the Chicago Daily News; Paul Haupert, of the Associated Press and Walter W.

Then I thought of major generals who handled divisions in action, rode in fat cars with spruce captains for aids, and came back to shuck first one star, then the other, then the eagle, and, finally, in some cases, even the silver leaf, becoming mere majors when all was over, It was good preparation for the vicissitudes of the regular Army career, this sudden dispersa] of the football heroes, some of them mere third clagsmen, to company tables where they would be mere third classmen among their official betters, superior only to plebes who rank the “com- mandant’s cat, the superintendent’s dog, the waiters in the mess hall, the hell cats and all the admirals in the whole damn Navy.” The Wrong Man.

There was @ heave and a struggle and the table leaped from the floor with platters and cups crashing. A plebe of the B football squad, sitting next to Mr. Sprague, went to the floor, pinioned, kicking, wriggling and trying to strike. One foot was forced with the pants leg yawning and Mr. Hammack leaned Over with a water pitcher to pour it down the young man’s pents. He gave a wrench just then, Kicked the pitcher and tipped it over himself. They let go and he came up soaking. “Wrong man,” Mr. Sprague said. “Yes, sir, wrong man,” The plebe was swab- bing his face and tunic with a napkin. “Wrong man.

He slammed the door, wheeled and fetched a bang on the door across the hall. I thought it was nice of him to knock before charging in. Chairs rattled agafm and three cadets stood frozen for an instant. Now the front room on the left, now the front room on the right, and now the agile lieutenant took the stairs three at a leap and went banging on the doors there, following the same order. There were four floors to a division or corridor and he was inspecting two divisions in ten minutes. I had noticed that ajl the cadets wore their shirt collars open, yet wore black neck- ties and these awry. All wore their ties awry— that is, except one young man in the second di- vision who wore no tie at all. Here the officer stopped for the first time on his dashing round, to ask the Man his hame. “Carroll,” he wrote on a report slip, “Carroll, no necktie.” Taking a Chance. Inspection was over and we stood on the long gallery of the gray green old barracks building. Doors opened. Several pairs of slippered feet scut- tered along the verandah, and we were aware of figures slipping through the darkness. Across the area, @ division door opened, silhouetting a cadet in the yellow light. He stepped out and made a break across the barrack square, apparently re- turning to his room. “What about those taking chances?’ “Yes, they take their'chances. I hear them, but they know an officer is not going to tear after them and pursue them to their rooms to get their names. (Some of this visiting may be well intended. A féllow goes to another man’s room to get help in & subject he doesn’t understand. But strictly speakifhg, it’s wrong. He ought to do it in the proper hour.” About the necktie. Why repert a man for hav- ing no tie when the tle was worn only as a loose formality anyway? No Partiality for Stars. “They know they're supposed to wear them until 9 o’clock. They’ll have no respect for you if you're soft with them. I was a cadet, so I know. They know what to expect when they take a chance. I caught Mr. Sprague in bed during study hour a while back. He knew better than that after three years. If I had ignored that, he and the whole corps would have thought I was making things easy for the football captain.” “Yes,” I said. “He mentioned the me.”’ “There is a fat-faced plebe in this division right here,” he continued. “One night I caught him wearing a polka dot bow tie. You get so you can spot anything wrong at a glance—or think you can. Your eye follows a certain routine, the men's dress, the beds, the room. This loud bow tile nearly put my eye out. I don’t know yet whether that darned plebe thought he was kidding me or was Just too dumb to know any better. I had to let him have it; out of uniform at inspection, wearing unauthorized clothing, keeping civilian clothing in his room, plenty of charges. He'll respect inspection after this. That one big slug of demerits for the silly bow tie may tighten him up so that he will escape a lot of others later on He might show a profit on the experience before the year’s over.” The Real Inspection. Study period was over. I went to Mr. Sprague’s room. We talked of inspection, “So you were with Lieut.

An officer must inspect two divisions every eve- ning, but may inspect four. Two divisions may or may not escape inspection. But which two? “We get it by telegraph if he’s on our left,” a young man explained. “But if he's off to our right or if he starts in with our division the chances are not so good, if you're taking chances. But usually you aren’t. You have so many sub- jects and so little time that you haven't much temptation to fool around. “When he’s off to the left the next division the word along.” He tapped on the wall. ing tap. “Even when he comes to your own division you can hear him banging on the doors if he doesn’t hit your door first.” I trust that I violate no domestic confidences here, but I think not all the tactical officers have been cadets and these are not new discoveries. They were telegraphing on those walls in Robert Lee Bullard’s time. We sat until 10 smoking cigarettes. Mr. Sprague produced from his drawer of the desk a colossal cigar bearing a portrait of Warren G. Harding on the band. It was strictly an exhibition cigar, made, to the best of my judgment, of oak leaves, pine shavings and moss. It lay in an individual box, on the cover of which were written the names of Born, Hewitt and Harry Wilson among a suc- cession of noted West Point athletes. Mr. Sprague added his name and laid it aside to be given to agle in the morning as the sceptre of the foot aincy. r At first we snuffed our cigarette’ in a tin box Serving as an ash tray, but as the hour wore oh we were shooting the snipes at the floor, which had to be swept in the morning anyway. Lights Blink Out, There was an answer- ~ at tattoo the lights blinked out in the wing across the way and we made down our bedding. There were two enameled wash basins on the toilet table, but Mr. Sprague said we needn't wash there, Upper classmen might use the sink in the corridor or the two wash bowls with running water down in the basement. Plebes, it seems, must carry water to thelr quarters and police themselves privately. In the dark we lay talking for a time. 1 sup- pose they were being polite toward a garrulous visitor inflicted by official invitation, Ten-thirty tnight be high noon_to a civilian from New York. “If you think yoWre doing me a favor you can cirop off any time,” I said. “After a day of dash- ing about with your dashing officers I can sleep on the spur of the moment. “You'll need all you get,” said Mr, Sprague’s drowsy voice. “The hell cats will get you. You haven't heard the hell cate? Never mind, you will. At 5:50 a, m. For a time I lay sorting the detail, the general information, the impressions of my first day at the Military Academy, It was eagy to become infatuated with a school, a ball club, even a prize. fighter when the camp is thrown open to you and people are lavishly civil for a purpose, whatever the purpose. The big football captain lay still as a dead man on his upper shelf. He had been especially frank, for when I askeg him if he in- tended to stay in the army he had said no. “Sometimes,” he said, “a man is allowed to re- sign On the ground of exceptional circumstances. I probably will apply for permission to resign soon after I get my commission. We're supposed to serve four years as officers, but the pay isn’t much and my family may need me.” Record of Players, During the afternoon I had accumulated among ®% hundred documents a list showing that in 37 vears only five football players had resigned from the Army immediately on graduation. Only eight had resigned after two years, two alter three years, six at the end of four years’ service and elghteen more after service of more than four years, a total of 39 who won their “A’s” in foot- ball and abandoned the profession of arms, out of a total of 299. Elmer Oliphant, a seven-year man in football, three years a star at Purdue and four years at West Point, served four years after graduation. Ed Garbisch, captain in 1924, was allowed to re- Sign, having married a lady with business in- terests so large that they needed his management. { don’t Know about that one. If the exceptional circumstances sound strange to you, you may think what you wil] of them, but the fact remains that the great majority of West Point football players continue to serve in the Army after their graduation, In this connection, Andrew Jackson wrote in his first message to Congress that “such graduates as may not pursue the profession of arms will be scarcely less useful as citizens.” “Their knowledge wilfybe employed in the mili- tia service,” he wrote, yng secure to that class of troops advantages wHich belong to standing armies.” Now consider the notable football men who might have played for the Army team but didn’t play for various riods of time because their instructors couldnt certify them to squad.

Now all members of the varsity or the B squad who are ruled _@ff for deficiency are sent down to the director of intramural athletics, but even then they are not allowed to play. Instead they are set to coaching the class and company teams, which gives them the physical benefit of drudg- ing exercises but denies them the pleasure of cpinpetition, Here is where the West Point cadet is placed under a special handicap, rather than. favored. A football man“at Yale, ruled ‘off the squad for scholastic troubles, may concentrate on his studies during his spare time. But at West Point a player thus ruled off is not allowed to devote the athletic hour to study. Athletics is compulsory and he must make up the deficiency in studies by cramming during the regular sil- lotted periods. Athletics became compulsory ig the fall of 1920. Up to that time participation was op- tional. In fact, In Gen. Pershing’s time there were no forma] gameg or matches of any kind except in fencing and tennis. Gen, Peyton C. March, who won four stars on his shoulder straps in the great war, played football at Lafayette in the primitive days*of the game, but had come and been and gone from West Point before the game was taken up in 1890 on a challenge from the Navy. The cadets wore full dress for their recreation hour in those days and the members of that first Army team practiced for a game which they had heard of only vaguely in hour glass uniforms and brass buttons as big as new potatoes. Navy Wins First Game. The Navy won the first game, but the Army won in 1891 and Col. E. J. Timberlake, now serv- ing a8 post quartermaster at the Point, made the first touchdown ever scored for the Army. Twenty-two years later his oldest son, EB. W. Timberlake, played on the great Army team that lost to Notre Dame in the first game of their iong series. THis young man was an all-Ameri- can tackle of Walter Camp’s choosing that year and he took a severe boxing from a young, thick built end with a meandering nose, listed as K. K. Rockne. As Capt. Timberlake he is now serving at West Point, too, as imstructor and coach. What Rockne Did. “Rockne had a way of doing like no other man I ever saw,” he told me. “I would have him all taken care of; then he would simply vanish. Then something would hit me in the ralves from behind and down I’d go. He broke down both my insteps that day and every time he’d drop me he’d give me a hand and say, ‘Get up you big slob of an all-American tackle.’” With his father and older brother old football men of reputation, both serving on the post, some way might have been found to keep young Ed Timberlake eligible all through the 1928 sea- son if they did such things at the Army. But my memorandum says the boy was off the team four weeks and I know that even when he was in good standing he was kept out of games for the good of his self-control and to curb a cer- tain cockiness. There are eight generals in the Army today who played on the varsity team at the Point; Connor, King, Eltinge, Aultman, Rosenbaum, Smither, Nolan, and Lott. Six others out of the list of 300 “A” men reached the rank of general officer. One per cent of the 300 were Killed in action and four’died in aviation mishaps. Seven- teen received the D. S. M. Maj. Charlie Daly—Harvard Charlie Daly—an eight year man in football, and one of the very type who would be barred from the game at West Point by a hyper-sensitive regard for the Navy’s notions, was commander of a regiment of field artillery in the World War with the rank of colonel and is now a major with the Thirteenth Field Artillery in Hawaii. He played a full col- legiate football career at Harvard and four years more at the Point. The Hell Cats Begin. There was a hellish racket outside the room. 1 heard Mr. Sprague'’s big, flat, nude feet smack the stone floor as he dropped from his upper deck berth. ‘Rise and shine,” he yelled. He was cheery and bright. I detest cheery and bright people at 5:50 a.m. I looked'tout.

On the other hand, I think that those who don’t have one of these roomy, old-fashioned homes by § inheritance wouldn't even care to live in them.

In one of these McGraw was involved. He was romptly and properly disciplined. He resented Ceing curbed in this fashion. This resentment smoldered until, about a year later. he answered the siren call of the Nationa] League. McGraw figured his desertion would deal the American League a body blow. In reality it led to our in- vasion of New York. Decision .s Made to Enter New York City. McGraw’'s defection was accompanied by a trans- ' a timore Club up a complaint, and I promptly ority under the league rules and of the club. The players were me dey (July 17, 1902), in which re foNelted a game to St. Louis because of being unable to put a team on the field, the citfb resumed and finished the season with men gath- ered from other clubs. Before the 1902 season drew to a close it was ace. We made our y raiding the Pitts- Pirates, and located a park site before the League awoke to the fact that mischief wwas afoot. The raid on the Pittsburgh Club formed one of under his breath that he was being watched and that we should go immediately to the Lincoln Hotel. We abandoned the ice: of going to Atlan- tic City, as it was apparent by O’Connor’s anxiety that Dreyfuss had knowledge of our plans and that we'd never get the players unless we acted. O'Connor Js Fired, But American Pays Salary. Shortly after we had registered at the hotel des- ignated, O’Connor came into our suite. He in- formed us that Dreyfuss hadn't signed his players but was becoming suspicious and that if we ex- pected to succeed we would have to strike that same night. O'Connor left, promising to round up the players and send them to the hotel. Inside of an hour the first of them appeared. We worked until 4 o'clock in morning. We signed O’Connor, Jess Tannehill, Tommy ‘each, Wid Conroy, Out- fielder Davis and Jack Chesbro. Before the sea- S0n closed Dreyfuss fired O'Connor for having dealings with the enemy, but the American League paid the salary he otherwise would have received rom the Pittsourgh Club. ‘This was about 8900. The Baltimore plant, which was the property of the American League, was disposed of, and in the early fall of 1902 I moved into New York with the aim of locating a site for a park. 1 wofked for a month or more without being discovered. Then, early one Sunday morning. I was sitting in a res- taurant, and two newspaper men—the late Jim Price and Bill Hanna—with whom I was acquaint. ed walked in. > “What are you doing around here, Ban?” said Hanna. “I'm trying to locate a park site for our New York Club,” was my reply. For a moment neither of them took my declaration serfously, and then Hanna asked where we'd ever find a piece of land big enough for a park and where we'd get the team to play in jt. Story Was “Spiked.” I assured him that the park would be ready for the 1903 opening and that the team had already been signed. “Can you name some of the players?” said Hanna, who sttil was a bit doubtful. I told him that I could and proceeded to men- tion the men we had shortly fore liftea from the Pittsburgh Club. There was no further need for secrecy, as we had the players safely under our wing and the National knew of our intention to we possibly could build. As a matter of fact, we had three sites yonder consideration. Before leaving me the two writers assured me } had given them a “hell of a story.” The following morning Price's paper appeared with the story of the American League's proposed invasion oO! New York and its successful raid on the Pittsburgh Ciub. Hanna’s paper didn't carry a ine. Hanna nad written the yarn, but his editor thought it was fiction and spiked it. But the story held up down to the last detail, although peace between the two leagues wag signed before the opt ning of the 1903 season. Bransfield Breaks Word: Costs Him Job Later. Later this same winter 1 went from New York io Worcester, Mass., with the purpose of signing Kitty Bransfield, who was one of the Pirates we hadn't landed in our raid of several months pre- vious. We figured on him as a first baseman for our New York club. 1 advised him of my visit in a telegram to which [I signed a fictitious name J met him and we talked terms. He agreed to come to Boston the next day. sign and receive §500 4d- vance salary. I waited around the Parker House in Boston all the next day, but Bransfield fatled to appear. Determined not to lose my man, | went back to Worcester, accompanied by Silk O'Loughlin We icarned that Harry Pulliam, just elected president of the Nationa! League. had been in Worcester that day and signed Bransfield for the Pirates. The National League in some way had found out about my move. Years Jater Bransfield approached me in regard to a job. as umpire in the American League. I reminded him that he once had broken his word with me One of the sites we had under consideration 1n New York was in the vicinity of 142d street and the Harlem River. We worked ov this for five weeks, finally abandoning it when we learned a street couldn't be closed. We turned to a site in the Bronx, and were as- sured by the politicians that @ street which divided the ground could be closed for %25,000. They would give us no guarantee as to how long the street would remain closed, so we kept the §25.000 and looked elsewhere. (In nezt Sunday's installment Mr. Johnson will tell of the selection of a park site in New York and the end of the war with the National League. During this time the juntor circuit built up its Arm organization that later withstood the shock of baseball's greatest scandal.) 669T wasn't so long ago that we shattered the idea that a women’s place is only in the home, and now we are beginning to destroy,the theory that even a married woman's place is in the home, With the modern kitchens, labor-saving devices, nursery schools and summer camps relieving the woman of many of her tasks, there !s no reason why she shouldn't lead a more intelligent sort of life. I can’t see that there is anything that came out of the old-fashioned home that we can't give our children today. “If, because of the many outside attractions, people are spending less time in the home and buying their food out, it is nothing for us to despair about or to cause us to wonder what 1s going to happen to the home. People are merely seeking for a little more cotor in their drab lives. Of course, if we could. get some of that color and interest into the home, we could find that people would just as willingly stay in it. The radio already has done much in this direction. “All this does not necessarily mean that women are less home-loving or less domestic. Certainly Fannie Hurst, famed American novelist, believes that the rise of feminism in America has resulted in a more healthy home life and a higher standard of living. “Mother” has ceased to be a twenty-four-hour maid and be- come a personage. the American woman has never had such a taste- ful or well-planned home before. Interior decora- tors are doing a flourishing business today, be- cause women are showing an awakening interest in the better things of life. American standards of living are consequently the finest. in the world. The poor shopgirl, who used to win our sympathy for her cotton stockings, cheap shirtwaists and her lack of luxuries, does not exist any more. Today she is as beautifully dressed asthe woman of the wealthy classes and she is certainly far better dressed than the women of Europe. “The fact that the American woman is able to live her life to the fullest makes her the most envied woman in the world. She can run her home so that it takes the minimum of time and devote the remaining hours to more stimulating work, As a result, she is a more intelligent mother and a more interesting companion than the wom- an of yesterday. “If she consequently does not spend as much time with her children, I do not see that it ts leas beneficial for them. Indeed, the most advanced of modern psychologists claim that it is a bad thing for children to be too much with their mothers; that they develop complexes and phobias because of parental ignorance. Phe overdose of affection and attention makes them self-centered and uDb- fit for the hard knocks of life. Just as more skilled workers are beginning to take the baking, the cooking and the cleaning out of our hands, 60 gradually people who are especially fitted for the job will take over the training of the children. As we now well realize, most mothers are not qualified to bring up thete chitaren. ° 66 IDUT there is another important aspect relating ‘to the incre@se in married women who are working which few of us stop to consider, IJt 1s that the modern woman is making the home, es well as the institution of marriage, possible to exist. We have already exploded the theory that ‘two can live as cheaply as one.’ We know that THE CHILDREN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6.

He had come tMhere ready to put up a fight, valiant if unre- sourceful, and now ——— “Couldn't we catch a steamer at Trieste?” she continued, apparently pursuing somé inward train of thought. The unexpected question jerked him back out of his supineness. “Trieste? Why Trieste?” puzzled. “Where tc?” “Oh, almost anywhere where they can't reach us too quickly.” As if unconscious of his presence, she continued to brood upon her problem. ‘Per- haps, do you know, after all, we'd better go to America. Don't you think 680? here’s Grandma Mervin—Joyce’s mother. We might go to her. And meanwhile you can make the Wheaters think we're still here, and so they von't be worried, ana we shall have time to slip away.” In spite of himself, Boyne’s first feeling was one of relief that she meant to keep up the struggle. To begin with, it was more like her; and he had reached the point of wanting her at all costs to be ilke herself. But he kept his wits sufficiently to reply on a note of sarcasm: “Thank you for the part for which I'm cast. But, my poor child, even if you could get away to America without your rents’ knowing it, such journeys cost money, and don’t suppose-——” t But send her down at “What is He stared at her. “Oh. l've oceans of money,” she answered with a startling composure, “What do you call oceans of money? savings?” he taunted her. Judith flushed up. “She told you?” “She told me nothing. I guessed.” Her head drooped for a moment; then she raised it with a confident smile. “Well, of course, I shall pay her back. She's sure of that. She knows I'm & nairess.” “Heroic woman! But how far do you expect to go on what she's contributed?” This also Judith faced with composure. “Not very—poor dear Scopy! But, you see, I've got a lot besides.”’ “A lot of money?” She leaned her rumpled head back against the hard sofa, apparently determined to enjoy his be- wilderment for a moment longer before enlighten- ing him, “Don't you call $5,000 a lot of money?” she asked. Boyne gave a whistle of astonishment, and she nodded softly in corroboration. “You had 85,000-——of your own?” “No. But I knew where father had them.” Boyne jumped tovhis feet and stood glaring down at her incredulously. “You knew-——?” “Don’t gape at me, Martin. If you like to call it so, I stole the money. He always has a lot about, because it bores him so to write checks.” “And you helped yourself—to what you wanted?” “It was avtully easy.

So it really wasn’t exactly like stealing—was it?” Boyne sat down again, this time in a chair on the farther side of the room.

ss FOR THE WASHINGTON POST BOYS AND GIRLS Che Junior Post. SECTION OF THE WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON, D. C., FEBRAURY 24, 1929. _A NEW PRESIDENT W. Support to New Chief Executive Dear Post Boys and Girls: A week from tomorrow Washington will be gay with flags, marching men and. thou- sands of visitors from all parte of the country. What will be the reason for all this excitement and pageantry? It will mark the inauguration or in- duction into office of’ the thirtieth President of the United States— Herbert Hoover, of California. Many of you willbe able to witness the historic scene off the plaza of the Capitol Building when Chief Justice Taft, once President of the United States himself, administers the oath of Office to the new President. If you are not fortunate enough to live in Washington still you can get a good chance to hear what is going on there at this impressive moment by listening in on your radios. Now I want every boy and girl who reads The Junior Post to pledge him- self or herself to uphold the new Presi- dent and Government in every way possible. .Remember he is the Presi- dent of all the people and he needs the help of every one of us in order to be successful in his task, which is for the good of every one. It is your country as well as his, and our task is a common one if America is to remain among the great nations of the earth. When you grow to man- hood and womanhood you must re- member that the right of the ballot is the most precious possession of the American citizen. It is a birthright which you must never degrade by a vote not according to your conscience or idly cast without thought of all it involves. Now is the time to begin to think about these things, for you are Ameri- can citizens of tomorrow, and as you act so this country will be. Your schooling, your training in the home, the church and the community is ali preparation for that big job of citizenship which is coming to you later in life. Are you going to be ready for it? For the boys and girls who live in Washington I have a special Inaugura- tion Day message. It is that you do your utmost to help the visitors who are in Washington by pointing out places of interest to them, by being courteous and not crowding them too much as you line up on the Avenue to watch the parade. Make them go back to their homes and tell their boys and girls how fine the young people of Washington acted when they were joint hosts with their fathers and mothers of America assembled to witness the inauguration of the new President. Now let us all join tn a great wish for President and Mrs. Hoover. May their stay in the White House be bright with happfness, the affection of the people and with every good thing that can come to them there. Now, all together, WISH! EDITOR JUNIOR POST. Henry W. Longfellow. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ameri- ca's popular poet, was born in Portland, Me., on February 27, 1807. He was the son of Stephen Long- fellow and a decendant of Jonn Alden and Priscilla Mullens, whom he made famous in the “Courtship of Miles Standish.” When he was only 13 years old he had poems in the Portland Gazette.., He graduated from Z3owdin College, Brunswick, Me., in 1825, with Haw- thorne. He was made professor of modern anguages and was allowed to go abroad tudy for his profession. He studied is, Italy Spain from 1826 to He lived qhie't his death on \M e pread modern r girls, went to Margaret was to bring the ball, Polly the bat and Betty the giove. The girls were to bring their own lunch. When they awoke Saturday—what do you think they saw? Snow! At 10:30 they met at Polly’s home. The girla took their sleds, coats, hats and oversifoes and went outside. They met the other girls and boys. The girls enjoyed the fun, although they did not go to Rock Creek Park.

After we got through I called Jean and asked her if she had ever written anything for The Junior Post and she asked me what it was. I told her it was a paper for boys and girls. Monday at school I asked her if she found The Junior Post and she told me she had found it and I asked her if she had liked it and she said “yes.” In school the other day she asked me for a sheet of paper. She said she wanted it to write something for The Junior Post, so I gave it to her. I hope you get her letter too. DOROTHY PRESTON (age 11).

It was a coid day in winter. The Hall family were eating dinner. There were three children in this family. Their names were Jack, John and Mar- jorie. “I just thought of.a good plan,” said John. “Lets go to Florida for the winter.” “That would be a good plan,” said their father. “What do you. think of it?” and he turned toward his wife. “I think it would be a good plan,” said his wife. “It would be a nice chance to take a vacation in the winter.” “When can we go,” asked Marjorie. “Next week,” said Mr. Hall. “I will have to get the train tickets. I will also have to see about getting leave from the office.” “I will start packing tomorrow,” said Mrs. Hall. “I will have to find a tutor to teach the children while we are away.” At last the day for the trip to Florida came. The children were very giad. Everything was all ready. The house was locked and as for the tutor he was there also. “Here we are,” remarked Mr. Hall as they approached the station. “The train will be here any minute now.” At last the train came and the Hall family got on. They were to be gone for three months. The next day at 1:30 o’clock the train reached Florida. “Mother can we go in bathing for a little while,” asked Marjorie. “In a Hhittle while,” remarked her mother. “How about going in bathing now,” asked Mr. Hall a half hour later. “All right,” said his wife. The Halls went in bathing every day, watched speedboat races, and also went on all the amusements they liked. “I think we had better be getting ready to go home,” said Mr. Hall when the three months were almost up. “I know we had a nice time, but we can’t Stay always.” After a few more days the Halls were on their way home. Though they had a nice time they were glad to get home. This ended the winter vacation for the Halls. CLARA BRASEL (age 11), Lindbergh. Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Let’s talk about school work.” It wag the day they were going to the mill, 69 they asked Dora, the maid, to pack a lunch for them, because they were going in the woods to play — would not be back until supper time. After the lunch was fixed they started. As they were walking they began to talk about the mil. “I wonder why they call it the mys- terious ~ mill?” questioned Dorothy. “I’ve never noticed anything wrong.” They were about one-half a block from the mill when Mary stumbled and fell over a bush, Dorothy ran to pick her up when she saw some writing on a stone under the bush Mary hed stumbled over. “] wonder what the writing is for?” asked Mary. . “Look, look!” cried Dorothy, “this lit- tle book shows the code to that writ- ing! Let's: read it!” This is what they read: “Take three steps to your right and four to your ‘eft, then you will find a trapdoor.” After Dorothy read it she turned to fina Mary already following out the airections. “Look!” cried Mary,”“1 found it!” a = ach see it,” said Dorothy “Where it?” “Right there,” said Mary, kicking away some dirt. They both pulled up sthe door and were surprised to find stevs going down to: a@ passage. They both climbed down and walked along the passage until It seemed they had walked a mile, but it really was only a half-block. At the end there was a large room. This room was very dark except for the Nght that came through a passage from the trapdoor. They hunted around for an opening, but could not find any. So they sat down on the bare floor to think it out. As Dorothy leaned back the wai! slowly caved in and there was a short passage with stairs leading up to it. This door was open, so they could look right to the top. They opened the door and that made the light come into the soom. Then they beheld 4 beatiful scen- Bite of gorgeous Ind:en pcttery was scattered about the floor Mary and Dorothy ran and picked up as much as they could and ware just turning around to go nome when into the room walked an old lady. Mary was just about to ask ner what she was doing there when Dorothy cried out: “Oh, it’s almost 5 o’clock by my watch and mother wil) be iook- ing for us.” So they asked the old lacy to go home with them and tell them about the pottery, which she did.

Each day it is larger than e'er before, For then have lessons been learned; Each week means more wonderfu: store As the tables of time are turned. I love my castle so very much, It is full of noblest things, I'll make myself worthy to touch In reality this castle for kings.

Then the king said, “Now I know how well I am protected and how well you serve me.” Just at that moment a giant was seen coming along. He walked up to the king and knocked out three of his teeth and picked them up and walked off. “Who will recover my teeth and avenge me?” asked the king No one came forward. “Ah! how fickle thou art, said he.. I will make a proclama- tion that whoever shall bring back my teeth shall have my daughter to wed.” When the swineherd heard this, he said to his grandmother, “I will go rand avenge the king and recover hig teeth. I beg you to make me a cake.” His grandmother answered. “I have a few treasures nobody knows about; take my crutch—when you throw it into the water it will become a boat. Take this salve and when you are wounded rub it on and it will hea you.” ’ The lad started. He came to the ocean and threw the crutch into the water. It became a full rigged boat, into which he jumped and sailed for the Green.Jsle where the giant ruled, Then he moored the boat and Jumpe ed ashore. Finally he came to a hut with a fire and three beds in it. Ag he was tired and cold he went in and warmed up and got into one of the beds. He was just going to sleep when three boys came in. When they saw him they began to moan and groan, and then the lad saw that they were full of wounds. He asked them why they were so downcast and how they they had gotten them in a fight with the giant and that they had made the hut, the beds and the fire. They also said that they could not put him out of the bed, and that one must sicep on the floor and he would die as a ree sult, leaving only two to fight the giant. The lad answered, “Not so. | will sit with my feet in the ashes as I have often done before.” He then got up and let them lie down. He then rubbed some of his salve on th their wounds closed, and they whole as ever. They got up gan to talk. he The «wineherd then said. come to fight the giant, too, fight with you.” The other three asked, “Have yoy come to tind the Stone of Victory?” “No, he answered, I have come te avenge my king, and recover his teeth that the giant knocked out and ran away with.” “Then you may fight with us,” sald they. Jui then a little man came in with a.harp and said, “I am the giant’s harper, and I will play to you.” When the boy asked, “What kind of tune will you play?” the little man answered. “If the whole world were before me. the tune I will play would put everybody to sleep. “Then we don't want to they all cried “But you will,” he said, st harp a drowsy tune. e started over to his bed to get it, ing still awake, his fingers down to the second and finally he bit his thumb 6o0 that he was fully awakened kicked the harp out of the harper’s hands and hung him up on a rafter by his toes. Then he went out on the moor and said to himself, “When the cock crows I will turn around and pick up first thing I see.” 6o he went on on, and soon he heard a cock “Time to turn back,” said he. He turned around and saw a round biack stone He picked it up and turned back The harper was still hanging up. He asked to be let down, and he ré- ceived the reply that he would be let down when the others awoke. The harper answered that they would not awaken until he awoke them. When he was let down he began to make weird sounds on his harp, and one after another the three awoke, and the harper went away. Then all four went out to fight the giant. When he came out, he struck down all but the swineh and he +started to run. All of a sudden he thought of his stone, and be turned around and struck the giant full on the chest. He then picked up the stone, and got the king’s teeth and went home, and married the king’ daughter and lived happily ever after. PEGGY BYERS (age 11). 4817 Thirty-sixth street. Beauty.

As the sled did not have a motor to fly up the hill, Georgianna had to pul it up, “I never saw a child complain like my sister,” sighed her brother to his schoolmate coming up behind her. “I do wish she was like your sister, Jim.” “Well,” Jim said, “you know, Jack, I had to tame mine.” “Tame her!” was the shocked reply. “Jumping grasshoppers; that’s as bad as calling her a lioness.” ack, I treated her first lke me, and, of course, Jane she was a better Georgianna had been walking ahead, but to in every \single word they said.

A Winter’s Day. As I looked out of my window I saw that the snow was about three inches deep. The bare trees were covered with snow. When I went out I saw that a robin’s nest had fallen and was nearly covered with snow. ‘The whole world looked like a bed of white. The air was very crisp and the clouds were gethering. All of a sudden the wind began to blow and snow began to fall very fast. I was nearly covered with snow when I reached home. The wind blew and the snow fell all night. EGGY DOW (age 12). My Flag. As I sat one evening Watching the shadows fall! I fell asleep and dreamed a dream— Just the loveliest dream ot all. I dreamed that fairtes were weaving A flag. for my very own; A gift I could love and cherich, To be just mine alone. Then one brought a beam of the sunset, As deep as the heart of a rose; While another brought a band of white From the top of the first new snows. Then they sewed them together with silver They had woven from moonbeams bright; The first a band of the sunset red. And then a band of the white. As I sat there watching these white and crimson bars, One of them flew right into the sky And cut out a patch of the stars And put them there in one corner. And when they had Jastened it there We knew not a thimg in this whole wide world Could make that flag more fair For it was heaven itself unfurled. They told me the red was for courage The white for a heart that was pure. \' While the sta*s stood there for @ stead- fast hupe, And a faith that must endure. Then suddenly I woke from my dream- ing To look at my red. white ana blue; And I say “My flag is the loveliest flag: I think so. too. don’t you?” HELEN DETTWEILER (age 14). 3545 Quesada street.

Herb Rand, the star forward of the “Macks,” had not scored so far_and it was the last quarter and the &ore was 2 to 0. Herb had the ball and the opposing guard tripped him making two foul shots for him. The first went in, the second did not, but it came to him. He shot, it went in making the score 3 to 2 and Herb was the hero. LEWIS BROWN, 3024 Rodman street northwest- How Night Came On. The glowing sun slowly faded out of sight and night crept on step by step. It was so serene and placid that it re- minded me of the harmonious waves of the drowsy river as they floated noise- lessly along. The night air was pervaded with the fragrant odor of spring flowérs and all other magical things of nature. I waited breathlessly for the great yellow shining moon to show its face. DOROTHY E. GRAY (age 13). Route 1, Box 158, Benning, D. C. Snow. The snow is hard upon the ground And snowballs flying all around; The snowman standing stern and tall— A merry winter brings to all. The children play on the nearby hill, You may hear their voices, loud and shrill. The sun goes down, and comes the night— Finds mother calling might. But the children think not of the night that has come— Are thinking only of games and fun. CATHERINE WINDLE (age 12). Herndon, Va. with all her . oa. . “i a A Bitter Snubbing. As I was walking along the highway near my home I saw a limousine mak- ing its way along a grade. The sole occupant was a Japanese poodle, except, of course, the chauffeur. Just the a bouncy 1924 mode! “flivver” came chug-a-lug-chug and passed the powerful limousine. A little mite of a dog stood up in the back of the “filvver,” grinning like a mischievous boy and sticking out his tongue in a@ saucy manner. His face bore an intensely pleased expression which expressed a happiness that was complete. On the back of the car was a sign engraved with chalk which read, “Ex- cuse my dust.” But the poodle seemed not to notice either the dog or the ‘“‘flivver.” his haughty and disdainful manner and the way he snubbed the other dog. The happy and pleased countenance of one Was a most amusing picture, KATHARINE BOND (age 15). Brandywine, Md. My Visit to Kenmore. Kenmore was built in 1752. It was the home of Col FPielding Lewis and his wife. George Washing- ton designed the ceiling and the work was done by two Hessian soldiers. I saw in Kenmore a portrait of Col. Fielding Lewis and Betty Washington's fireside chair. Kenmore is in “America’s most his- toric city,” Predericksburg, Va. BUDDY SAVAGE (age 11.) Fredericksburg, Va. Song of the Brook. Merrily dancing o'er rock and o’er stone. Gayly the brooklet trills. Of what does it sing as it wanders along, As it dances its way through the hills? It might be of fawns as they come down to drink, It might be a tiny brown hare. Perhaps it’s a daisy that grows on its brink, Or even a clumsy brown bear. Sing on little brook; may you never run dry! Wander on and forever be gay. Fade not as a human who’s fated to die, But merrily trill every day. KATHARINE W. ROBERTS (age 13). 92 Prospect avenue, Gloversville, N. ¥ Seasons. Winter is here, Spring is near, With blossoms 80 gay, Summer is on the way. Then fall comes on, After summer has gone, With leaves red and gold, As we have been told. Then winter is on its way, With snow in which to play: Then we'll go ridin, in our sleigh And go merrily on our way. | MARTZ il).

The crow family is made up of birds with strong wedge-shaped bilis which have stiff feathers at the base that give the crow the appearance of having & beard. Their feathers are soft and usually of a dark color but sometimes gray and they have a remarkable intelli- ence. “ The family of crows includes the rook, the jay, the magpie and the com- mon crow of North America. The North American crow is about 20 inches long with wings about 13 inches. Its bill is like all crows’ bills, strong and wedge-shaped, and a tongue that is split into two parte at the tip. Their toes are seperated almost to the base and the middle one is the longest and the tail contans twelve feathers. Early in March the birds pair, the old ones to repair the old nests and the young ones to build new nests. As soon as the nest is finished and the eggs laid, which are about five, biuish- green, with. dark biotches, the father has the duty of getting food for his wife. The crows feed on worms, insects, grain and seeds. They eat the grain and seed of the farmer but repay him by eating worms and insects that also ruin the farmer’s grain. In Indianapolis, Ind., last summer I saw & man on the stage with a black crow that showed his intelligence by taking crackers out of the man’s pocket, catching paper plates and juggling a stick on his bill. So you see a crow has something to crow about. BILLY CRISWELL (age 15). 1626 Columbia road. Swan of the North. In the northern part of America, close to where Chicago now stands, once lived a beautiful maiden so fair and so swift of feet that people called her “Swan of the North.” Swan was only a few years old when her training began.
