PROCEDURE IS IN DOUBT By ALBERT W. FOX. Complications embarrassing to the State Department, the foreign diplo- mats and the courts have arisen over- night as a result of the seizure by po- lice on Friday of a privately owned truck laden with a liquor consignment for the Siamese Legation.. The whole question of diplomatic immunity and comity of nations may be drawn into developments of this latest effort in the tightening process of enforcing prohibition. Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassa- dor, and other diplomats are under- stood to take the position that the State Department must henceforth vouch for the legality of methods em- ployed in liquor shipments before such shipments are undertaken by the em- bassies and legations. Sir Esme was at the White House yesterday on an- other matter, but did not seem to be disturbed over the court action re- specting the truck driver hauling the diplomatic liquor. But it is under- stood that the British Ambassador will communicate with the State Depart- ment before the next consignment of liquor for the British Embassy arrives and will ask the department to pass Judgment on the legality of the method to be employed in the ship- ment. The State Department, however, is understood to be desirous of keeping as much as possible out of the picture. Off-hand opinions given by State De- partment officials yesterday were to the effect that the courts and not the department must answer questions propounded. Embassies and legations can not, however, walt for courts of last. resort to render opinions, as it may be two or three years before the Supreme Court of the United States would decide the case of the two truck drivers handling the Siamese Lega- tion’s liquor, should this become a test case. Embassies and legations want no interruptions in their liquor consign- ments and the State Department has taken no steps to indicate tat such interruptions were either necessary or desirable. One of the diplomats suggested yes- terday that the Diplomatic Corps pur- chase trucks and operate them by their own chauffeurs and with ‘equitable distribution of expenses. By this means, it is suggested, the legal snarl created by the operation of a privately- owned trucking company would be } avoided.

Because of the public interest in Police Department affairs generally and in view of speculations as to the suc- cessor of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, super- intendent of police, The Post asked Col. Frederick A. Fenning, former Dis- trict Commissioner in charge of the Police Department, to write an article dealing with the subject. The article presented herewith is the result. By FREDERICK A. FENNING. In the District of Columbia the major and superintendent of the Metro- politan Police Department is the rank- ing officer of the force. Commonly, and quite properly, he is referred to as the chief of police. Having particularly in mind the woefully precarious tenure of this office, now about to be vacated, I propose to discuss in this article the making of a chief of police and the po- tentialities for the breaking of that of- ficer.

The man was on the operating table an hour and a half while the surgeons sewed up the stab wound in the heart which thev described about an inch long. Riley was found on the sidewalk in front of 2635 I street nortawest by William Hazelc« and was taken to the hospital by Clifton Aukwerd, of 916%, Twenty-seventh street northwest.

Large Barracuda Injures Swimmer Fish Attacks Man in Surf at Palm Beach, Biting Tendon of Foot, Palm Beach, Fla., March 16 (A.P.).— Leroy Chadbourne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Chadbourne, of Greenwich, Conn., was attacked and injured by a large barracuda while swimming in the ocean here today. His shouts attracted his wife, parents and guests of the Chadbourne home. They helped him to shore by means of a life boat and rushed him to a hos- pital. It was said the big fish's teeth had severad a tendon in his right foot. Fire Kills Aged Couple, Asleep in Virginia Home Drakes Branch, Va., March 16 (A-P.). Mr. and Mrs, Charles C,.

Speaking before the Cincinnati Com- mercial Club, Governor Young said that already all lines of cOmmerce and busi- ness have felt. ffect of ingreased credit charges fi from high rates offered by spi and told his audience that speculative demand for credit “may in- volve the impairment of the prosperity of our commerce and industry.” This, he pointed out, would be caused through the incgeasing credit rates hav- ing a bad effect on the trade of foreign countries, two of which, he said, al- ready had increased their rates to pre- vent money being attracted by higher rates in this country. Governor Young’s address was the first public utterance he has made upon the credit situation since the board issued its warning to member banks on Feb- ruary 6 that speculation was causing board members concern. He told his listehers that there was “no occasion to become unduly excited” and said that thus far the increased rates to commerce and industry have not been a deterrent to active operation Gov. Young said that if other means of curbing speculative credit fail the board may be compelled in the end to resort to higher discount rates. “We are all cognizant that rates are much higher for all kinds of credit than they were in August of 1927,” the gov- ernor said. “For six years or more there has been an unusual demand for a form of credit that can properly be termed speculative; in fact, the unus- ually high rates that prevail in that field make it evident that the demand has pressed hard on the supply. “However, when the funds were not forthcoming from the banks the specu- lator made the rate so attractive that corporations and individuals, both for- eign and domestic, supplied the funds. The unusual demand for this particu- lar form of credit has had an effect -|upon the cost of all other forms of credit so that practically all lines of commerce and industry have been af- fected to a certain degree, although from all I can observe at this time the increased rates to commerce and _busi- CONTINUED ON PAGE 12, COLUMN 1.

Doctors Fight Epidemic, State Health Department physicians, working with national guardsmen under Col, W. A. Gavie and local Red Cross workers. were inoculating refugees against measies and typhoid. Gov. Graves was unofficially in- formed that the relief fund today stood at about $10,000. Stories of thrilling rescues and pitiful refugee conditions were plentiful today, as correspondents began to return to Montgomery and Birmingham. Apparently most of the refugees escaped the rising flood waters without anything but the clothing they wore. Wire communications were so disrupted that reports were lacking from many communities known to be endangered by the high waters. Train Reaches Mobile. The first train from’ Flomaton, one (of the flooded towns, reached Mobile this afternoon. J. 8. Martin, Mobile, conductor of the train; C. J. Brown, flagman, and R. M. Nelson, jr., baggage master, told of hav- ing spent two sleepless days and twv nights in rescue work, taking sCores of refugees into the coaches, “Our cars were packed and jammed with people, many of whom had not eaten for hours,” said Martin. “We turned on the steam heat and some of the people, although they had to sit upright all night, said they were com- fortable for the first time in many hours.” In the midst of the flood, the crew said, lightning struck a store at Floma- ton and it was burned to the water level, It was impossible to determine, ac- cording to the trainmen, whether or not there has been any loss of life in Flomaton. They had been told bodies of ten colored men had been recovered at Brewton, but they could not verify the report. Nelson, who lives at Flomaton, said 20 persons had sought refuge in his home, which was situated a bit higher than some of the other houses. Water kept rising slowly and as it crept higher and higher, they retreated to the attic, thinking momentarily the rise would cease. Finally they were compelled to chop a hole in the roof through which they escaped to be rescued from their perch by a motor boat. Two Men Feared Lost. At the Brown's home in Flomaton, Thursday night, a cry was heard from a nearby home, where two Men were seen trying to hang onto a perch. Mrs. Brown pushed a skiff from her home in their direction. Neither the men or boat have been seen, Brown said. One home, which whs at one time a considerable distance from the rail- road track at Flomaton, now rests on the main line of the L. & N., washed there by the torrents that have swept through the avenue on which it was situated, the crew reported The train that brought the initial first-hand information of the flood con- ditions at Flomaton, left again for the stricken térritory with supplies.

Responding to a complaint that there had been considerable disorder at a house on River road, near Coa- cord Church, early yesterday, Mont- ‘| gomery County police found an 80-gal- lon still and errested two men. Sergt. Leroy Rodgers, in charge of the Bethesda substation, received the complaint, which was to the effect that the occupants of the house had staged an all-night brawl and had kept the neighborhood awake. He took Policemen Douglas Dosh and Oscar Gaither with him to the scene. Two men were found asleep on the porch of the house.

REVENGE IS HELD MOTIVE Wooster, Ohio, March 16 (A.P.).— Elias “Nul” Arnold, 55, and his son, Arthur, 17, both of Orrville, e small town near here, were found guilty by @ common pleas jury here late today of kidnaping Melvin, 4-year-old son of Raymond Horst, of Orrville, who was sent out to play the afternoon of December 27 and never returned. Under the verdict the Arnolds face a penalty of one to twenty years im- prisonment. The jury was out eight hours. The trial started Tuesday. It followed an intensive search in which every build- ing in Orrville was ransacked, the streams and ponds drained. Despite the conviction of the Arnolds the whereabouts of the child remains as deep a mystery as it was when the town turned out to search the after- noon and evening of his disappearance. The most pertinent testimony of the prosecution came from Junior Hanna, 8-year-old playmate of Melvin’s who said he saw the younger Arnold entice Melvin into the Arnold home and then drive away in an automobile with him. It was the theory of the prosecution that the kidneping resulted from hat- red of Marshal Roy Horst. Melvin’s uncle, who had jailed the elder Arnold on a charge of bootlegging.

BOBBY TROUT I$ HOLDER Oakland, Calif., March Louise McPhetridge Thafenj holder of the women’s airplane altitude record, took-off at 3:51 o'clock this afternoon from the municipal airport there in an attempt to break the women ‘s endur- ance flight record of 17 hours. 5 min- utes and 37 secords held |by Miss Bobbie Trout, of Los Atigeles, Her Hisso-motored ‘bipjane, was fueled with 196 gallons of gaspline and 14 gallons of oil. This! amount, the young aviatrix estimated) wpyid easily keep her aloft for 24 hours. Under National Aeronaiutidal Associa- tion rules, Miss McPhetridge: must keep her plane in the air for at least one hour longer than the regent record of 17 hours, 5 minutes, $7 peconds, to establish a new mark. || | Miss McPhetridge spen‘ an hour tuning up and testing hét plahe before the hop. Then, with (éverything in readiness she donned 4 heavy fur- lined flying suit and helimet; said good- by to a gathering of | tnqnds and clambered into the cockpit. At exactly 3:51:35 p. m. the biplane roared down the runway and took the air. Rising to 600 feet, Migs McPhet- ridge banked and circled over the air- port on the course she hopes ‘to main- tain for the next 24 hours. ‘Before the take-off she told airport officials she would fly between 600 ahd B00 feet as long as daylight lasted.: After sun- down, she said she would ‘ga higher. Officers of the Oakland Chapter of the Natonal Aeronautical Agsociation were at the field to supervise the in- stallation and sealing of the plane's barograph. If Miss McPhetridge suc- ceeds in staying aloft the tequired time, the instrument will be [removed from the plane when she lands and sent to N. A.

DRIVE OPENS IN FLORIDA By CARLISLE BARGERON. President Hoover has approved a defi- nite plan of building up the Republi- can party in the South. It ‘s first to be applied to Florida. It follows the line in deta!! of the most effective Republican organizations in the East, with one departure, and on that one rest the chances of success. At the top of a vast organization, reaching into every precinct, will be a patronage superstructure. It will be composed of three Republicans and three Hoover Democrats. To this ex- tent patronage will be taken out of the hands of the national committeeman, Glenn B. Skipper. But ne will, of course, be the one to transmit the pate rohnage committee’s recommendations to Washington, and inasmuch as he is responsible for the present high state of Republicanism in Florida he will probably have easy working arrange- ments with this committee. Briefly, the plan of organiaztion Is, first, the precinct meeting, for which there are no qualifications for attend~- ance, This meeeting will name two per- sons to represent it at the county meetings. From the county meetings go two persons to the curgressional district meeting. That branct. of the organization stops there, and obviously it has to do with the congressional spehere of politics. For State-wide purposes, tlie organi- zation begins back with tht county meeting, from which one man and one woman will be members of the State central committee. There is no novelty to this as an or- ganization. Rather, it has been tried and proved. It is a decided noveity for anything like it to be set up in the South. It is doubtful if the Democrats have any more perfect organization than that qutlined by the Republicans. It definitely shows an intensity of pur- Of course, the Democrats down South have the same organization structure. The Republicans heretofore have had nothing but some men interested in patronage. Mr. Skipper, the Florida national committeeman, has been up here for several days working out the plan in close cooperation with Horace A. Mann, Scuthern Republican manager during the campaign, and who now appears politically down one day and up the next. With the President’s definite ap- proval of the plan, Skipper is now heading back to his State to put it into effect. Florida lends itself more readily to a tryout of the plan than any other Southern State. Too, the Republicans think they have a better chance of holding this State than perhaps any other. But Florida’s availability for trying cut the plan rests in the fact that it, has no R. B. Creagers, Fy etsy be Will Taylors or Bascom Slemps, a3 in the case of Texas, woaheetee and Virginia, respectively. Must Take Their Medicine. In the first place Skipper and Mann hit it off excellently together and secondly, it is believed the question of whether colored participation should be denied, settled itself last June at Kansas City. The Florida national committeeman at the time was George H. Bean who hed a black and tan or- ganization. In the preconvention fight between Bean and Skipper the negroes stuck with Bean and together they were ousted at Kansas City. Now it is contended that the negroes will not have been discriminated against if they are kept out of the new organization. As politicians they played a political game at Kansas City and lost and los- ing must take their medicine just as white politicians have to do, So, in so far as Florida is concerned, there can be no comeback, it is con- tended, from the colored voters of the East and such States as Indiana, Mis- sour!, Ohio and Illinois, that their Southern brethren are being mis- treated. This its the delicateness of the Southern situation for the Republicans It is the reason the executive commit- tee of the Republican national com- mittee several days ago would give nc encouragement to Mann’s plan for the South. The very essence of Mann’s plan is white control of party affairs. Pian for Entire South. The Florida plan is pretty much Mann’s plan. The 50-50 representation in patronage mattera of Republicans and Hoover Democrats is with a view to keeping intact the forces that sup- ported Mr. Hoover in November. It is the plan for the entire South. It remains to be seen to just how many States it will be applied and how soon. Of course, in States like South Carolina and Mississippi, there is no need of applying it at all.

Alligood went to a nearby store and purchased a stout pair of tan high walking shoes, for which! he said he paid 63.85, and a pair of po¢ks. Tem- ples bathed his swolleh feet in the squad room, donned his; new accou- trements, and was then taken to the Pirst Precinct.

Temples admitted that he had served two jail terms, one at Frankfort, Ky., for robbing a store in Williamsburg. and the other at Columbus, Ohio, for assault and battery committed on a woman in the latter city. He denied that he was guilty of the fitst charge and said that he was in a drunken brawl when the second occurred.

Burlingame, the hard- bolled precinct chief who was absent from his post for several weeks while being tried and acquitted on charges instigated ‘by a Seventh street palmist, was back in harness last night in full vim and vigor. This was attested by the fact that the captain, who com- mands the Second Precinct, took his famous automobile—the “puddle jump- er” mentioned at his trial—and his old raiding squad on a tour of the pre- cinct. Only one raid had resulted in being Officially recorded up to midnight, but at that hour the captain, the “puddle| ph jumper” and the squad were still in action. The one recorded raid brought out the fact that Capt.

Seventeen of the, group were charged with disorderly conduct and hela for $5 collateral.

It was ex- plained that complications following influenza had greatly undermined his strength. lican cause in those States is hopeless. As to other States, whether the plan bears Mann’s name or not, he has no patent on it. In Virginia, the Republicans have been making overtures to the Hoover Democrats for some time and there are indications that the latter are in a re- ceptive mood. It will be interesting to see whether the equal division of pat- ronage spoils is agreed upon there. It would be quite a sacrifice on the part of those Republican men who have had everything to themselves hereto- fore, Yet something must be done soon in Virginia because there is a State elec- tion this fall. Declined By Hoover. The sacrifice in the matter of spoils would also have to be made in Texas if the plan is applied there. R. B. Creager. who has had it all his own way, has shown a disposition to recom- mend Hoover Democrats for Democratic vacancies on bipartisan commissions, a proposition that Mr. Hoover has definitely turned down. As to whether Cerager is willing to let the Hoover Democrats share in Re- publican jobs, and particularly to let them have an equal voice in patronage matters, is unknown. Mann its perfectly willing to apply his plan to Tennessee, but in that State there are men who do not want anything that comes from them, much more take Hoovercrats into their party councils. None of these difficulties appear in Florida. So the plan will first be ap- plied there. THE WASHINGTON POST: SUI SUNDAY, MARCH 17, i 1929... rm ee ewe SHOOK LOSES POST | IN PRISON SPY RoW Resignation Asked, Despite Protest of Borah, Who Raps System. ALLOWS WARDEN 30 DAYS Despite protests of Senator William E. Borah and others against the appli- cation of the spy system in American Federal prisons, Warden John Snook, of the Atlanta prison, is out. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, As- sistant Attorney General, confirmed the report last night. The Department of Justice has asked for his resignation to take effect within 30 days. Mrs. Willebrandt would make comment on the situation last t, except to say, “I can not deny that it is true.” Warden Snook said a few days ago that unless the spy system was aban- doned he would resign. From Department of Justice sources it was explained last night that the re- quest for the warden’s had been made before the issuance of the statement. In his recent conference with At- torney General Mitchell, Senator Borah asked whether Warden Snook was about to be ousted for some reason other than because he would not co- operate with the “ 9 ore it was because of the system tse He said he felt that it was due to the warden ahd to prison management gen- = that the issue should be clear cut. It séems the demand for tae resigna- tion was made the first of the week, although nothing has been said about Se te ween erstood the d ent will claim it had its yeoseue ter thuabine the spy system arid that the reisgnation grows out of that rather than the war- den’s objection to the system. The prompt action by the | dgpart- ment, together with the statements made previously by Senator Borah, in- dicate the issue is one that is likely to be threshed out on the Senate floor. “I have given much time 4» the in- vest.:gation and consideration of the so- called spy, or under-cover system in our Federal. penitentiaries.” said Senator Borah in a formal statement. “It is my judgment it can not be justified upon any theory of law or of justice or of expediency. Gen Mitchell is @ great lawyer, trained m law from ergy - hg Dasing my opinion n predict that the sys- tem will be discontinued. “ “The system involves, in the first instance, in order to get the spy, or undercover man, into the penitentiary, fake or fraudulent commitments and then fake or fraudulent representa- { tions or procédure in order to secure his release. These commitments must either ostensibly, or in fact, involve the courts or the officers of the courts. into a scheme for issuing fake or fraudulent processes or commitments. I would not hesitate myself-to vote to impeach a judge who had signed or issued such papers or who would authorize it to be done. “Secondly, if it is necessary to place men undercover in a penitentiary, it would seem that it ought to be done by the authority and with the knowledge of the warden. If the warden himself has not the confidence of the depart- ment so that it is necessary to spy upon him, then he had better be dis- missed out of hand. He must neces- sarily be the utmost faith and confi- dence in the head of such an institu- tion upon the part of the Government, or the Department of Justice. When this confidence ceases, the plan ought not to be to put a spy in the peni- tentiary, but to put another warden at the head of it. Unless this confi- dence exists, a spy can not make the administration a success. “There is the other question: its effect upon the prisoners also. Penol- Ogists very generally condemn it as demoralizing. “But the whole system is based upon & wrong theory. There is a way to deal with our inmates in the peni- tentiary other than that of debasing and prostituting the courts or reflect- ing upon the wardens of the peni- tentiaries.” Old Admirer Leaves Insurance to Corbett Chicago, March 16 (A.P.).—Jim Cor- bett in the old days in San Francisco while he was heavyweight champion of the world, had a boy admirer, Michael McDonald.

A. R. Hall, and the Coast Guard buildirg—some day will be leveled and transformed into 1 small park. The Department of Commerce now rents the ll-story building it occupies at Nineteenth street and Pennsylvania are scattered in the Mall and in vari- ous places about the city. The result is a tremendous rent bill for Uncle Sam. Seattered Over City. Like the Department of Commerce, the Internal Revenue Bureau has ex- panded tremendously in the lat dec- ade, and today its forces are scattered all over the city. Its new building, the foundations of which already have been laid, will take up a hr? area bounded by Tenth' and Twelfth streets and B and C streets. In the meantime, work has started on the central building of the Depart- ment of Agriculture group between Twelfth and Fourth etr-ets and be- tween B street northwest and B street southwest. In connection with this undertaking there is a story that is both funny and historic. Back in the days when Theodore Roosevelt was President, so the story appropriated money for a new Department of Agriculture build- ing, but, due to tise efforte of the Treasury watch dogs of that time, the amount provided was so small that the building would have been entirely in- adequate. The officials of the Department of Agriculture went to President Roosevelt and entered vigorous protest. He agreed with them. Go Ahead, Roosevelt Said. “Go ahead,” he said, “and have the Plans prepared for a building of the right size and style. Then make the money go as far as it will in putting up such a building.” Roosevelt's advice was carried out. an outside architect was employed, and the entire appropriation was used up On two detached wings. Congress went wild when fe discovered what had happened, and ‘refused to allow money for the center biijlding. And so matters rémainhed for nearly a quarter of a centufy. N@w part of the $50,000,000 is being used ‘to errect the central building, whith will always be a monument to Rookévelt's coup. After this is completed, work will be started on en extensible building’ ‘to the south of the main group. — | Another building | ‘project that is part of the $50,000,000 program is the addition to the Government Printing Office. Work on this alsg js under way.

A feature of the triangle develop- ment will be a majestic tree-lined boul- evard on B street extending from Po- tomac Park to the Capitol. In days to come, this will supplant Pennsyl- vania Avenue as vue ‘Parade ground of the!

ree ee ee. em er ee OIL LEASE REVIEW *GADUP Ig SELECTED o Spry, Smith and Finney Are Named by Interior Secre- tary; Ready to Begin. STATE AID HOOVER PLAN (Associated Press.) The Government oil conservation policy of the Hoover adninistration is only a first step in a new program of dealing with the public domain, former Representative Winter, of Wyoming. Said yesterday after a conference with the President at the White House. Mr. Winter asserted that the Chief Executive had a plan for dealing with public landa under which the compara- tively small group of States in which these lands are located will be able to realize return from them. He was without details of the plan and ad- ministration officials declined to dis- cuss the matter. While Mr. Winter wes at the White House, Secretary Wilbur, of the In- terior Department, announced the ap- . pointment of a committee of three to ‘Teview outstanding permits to prospect for oil and gas on Government lands with a view to the early concellation of those whose holders have failed to protect their equities. Policy Is Outlined. This committee is composed of Will- lam Spry, commissicner of the general. land office; George Otis Smith, director of the geological survey, and Edward C. Finney, solicitor of the Interior Depart- ment. It will begin work at once. The policy of the committee in deal- ing with these permits was outlined in this formal statement by Secretary Wilbur: “With regard to the 20,000 outstand- ing permits on public lands, the de- partment will deal fairly with holders who have been diligent in maintaining their equities. Where actual drilling operations have been started and are being continued, opportunity will be given to carry on development work to finally determine the character of the land. Immediate steps will be taken, however, to cancel all such permits . where no drilling has been done or j money spent in development. > » + Great Progress Is Shown In Coast Artillery Firing - the area covered by the ,gas production unless proved March 2, 1 “Where permits are now in good standing, either because of recent issue or previous extension of time, no ac- tion will be taken during the remain- ing period covered by the permit. When that time has expired, however, and the permittee has failed to comply with the terms of his permit, he will be called upon immediately to show cause why the permit should not be canceled. Get No Adverse Action. “This includes so-called group devel- opments heretofore approved and in which extensions have been allowed. where permittees are engaged in a joint drilling program, test wells being drilled by a responsible drilling com- pany on some of the public lands in permits. 650 long as this program is being diligently prosecuted, no adverse action will be taken. “No leases will be issued for oil and required by mandate of law, such as discovery un- der existing permits, as provided by the mineral leasing act, or through the advertisement of a imum of 25,000 acres of Osage In lands annually, as directed by ‘— Hyd of Congress ap- The Interior Secretary disclosed that more than 5,000 applications for oil and gas permits are pending in the general land office there with many others in the field offices. Steps have been taken to reject all of these appli- “Probably in none of the cases on hand has the applicant expended money for development purposes,” Sec- retary Wilbur said, “although he may have gone to some expense in oppos- ing conflicting claims or furnishing additional evidence in support of his application.” 4 a 4 ~ a J if F | F = +a ia 1G - : THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 1929. U.S. Navy Now Under Rule Of Two Expert Yachismen Jahncke, Adams’ Assistant, Commodore of Club and Ship Builder. Secretary Charles Francis Adams is not the only man in the Navy who knows how to sail a yacht. This does not go for any of the admirals and com- modores, commanders and captains now occuping swivel chairs in the Navy De- partment. Of course, they do not know how to sail a yacht. They don't teach that in the Navy now. But it does go for the distinguished Secretary of the Navy, who has won more honors in yacht races than Carter had oats. President Hoover thought the Navy needed another yachtsman to keep his Secretary from becoming chesty, so he went to New Orleans and got the famed commodore of the Southern Yacht Club, Ernest Lee Jahncke, to hold down the second place in the Navy. Mr, Jahncke is due ih Washington soon, to take the oath, and when he comes he can talk the language so sweet to the ear of his new boss. A rather remarkable young man Is this sailor from the oldest yacht club in America. He can sail any kind of a sailboat from a cat boat up to a six- master. Years and years ago, when he was a mere lad some of the sporting yachtsmen of New Orleans had a racing craft built that they named the Crick- e* She was the fastest thing her size that ever sat in the water. She won cups all up and down the Atlantic and all over the -ulf from Galveston to Pensacola. It was on the Cricket that young Ernest Lee Jahncke, then in his first short pants, got his baptism of the sea. As time rolled on he owned fast sailing boats of his own, and then when he got to be very wealthy he had a fast gas cruiser built, on which he cruises all over the gulf and all around Lake Pontchartrain. This, however, is not the limit of his knowledge of boats. Some years ago he set up a shipyard of his own, the Jahncke Dry Dock & Ship Building Co. Uncle Sam owned a dry dock in the same port. It was located at the Algiers Naval Station, across the river from Jahncke’s plant. When the Jahncke plant could not handle a ship because of her size, the Navy dry dock would pull her out and make the nec- essary repairs. Came the World War and Jahncke said to Secretary Daniels: “If you will not handle any more com- mercial jobs, I will equip my dock 60 that it can handle the largest ships coming {nto the port of New Orleans.” It was so ordered. Uncle Sam let Jahncke have a dock, and, after a while, a controversy arose over this agreement, and there was a hearing in Washington at which Commodore Jahncke made such a good showing he won his case. Since then he has been repairing all sorts of United States ships. He knows all about ships, war- ships, liners, tugboats, tramps, and fer- ries. No contractor can put anything over him on costs or workmanship. No better equipped man, it is said, has come to Washington in a similar posi- tion. ° Building ships is not the smallest part or the largest part of Commodore Jahncke’s varied enterprises. He and his two brothers inherited from their father an immense sand and gravel and building supplies business. Fritz Jahncke, the father and founder of the business, was a fine old German, who came to New Orleans half a century ago with nothing but his ability, his character and his health. He and his wife built a little. frame house on Howard avenue in which their three stalwart sons were born and rear- ed. As his business grew Fritz Jahncke gave his boys fine advantages in edu- cation and they all three made splendid marriages. They took over their father’s business when he died and have en- larged it until it dominates its field. That humble little frame home houses the offices of this great business. They would not sell it for a price. With pride they tell you that “that’s where I was born.” | Excellent results in target practice of -Coast Artillery, ly due to inaugura- tion ‘in 1926 @ competitive system for all bat were announced yes- terday following their study by Maj. Gen. Andrew Hero, jr., chief of Coast Artillery. Prior to firings for 1928, minimum ranges were prescribed for all seacoast and antiaircraft work, and notwith- standing these increased ranges, com- | of results with 1927 showed marked progress, the average range of 87 per cent being greater; increased ac- curacy was obtained in 58 per cent, and rate of fire was increased in 98 per cent of the practices, and hits per gun per ute were increased 79 per cent. were five regiments in which ell record target practices were classi- fied as “excellent,” the highest classifi- cation for Coast Artillery units, these being the Ninety-second, Second and Fifteenth of the harbor defense of the Philippine Islands, Canal Zone and Hawali, respectively, the Forty-first, railway unit of Hawaii, and the First, of the Canal Zone harbor defense. The Ninety-second, with 155 mm. guns, was selected as the leading regi- ment for the year, and 49 per cent of all organizations firing were classified | “excellent” and their members entitled to wear the letter “E” on their coat sleeves. . In antiaircraft shooting, marked im- provement over 1927 was obtained, this being specially true of machine guns, In one practice, at a range of 900 yards and during nine separate flights by a two-target plane, approximately 13 per cent of hits was secured, the rate of fire showing that 90 hits per gun per minute were obtained. With 3-inch antiaircraft guns, there was one practice where 45 hits were made at a range of more than 5,000 yards, In one practice with 155 mm. guns, the average time to fire a round was 11 seconds at a range of approximately 15,000 yards, and 27 per cent of: hits -_ This Strictly “1929” Design TERMS: $1 a Week or $4 a Month —for Spring Brides HE “Sweetheart” design shown above is one of our new- est creations. 18-kt. white gold, set with a perfect solitaire, with either diamonds, sapphires or emeralds on the side in charming heart effects. cash or terms.

In his radio speech the author of the old’ equalization fee bills, who is now writing the new measure, gave assur- ances to farmers that important relief will be enacted during the special ses- sion. Bill Will Be Passed, Claim. “Without question, a _ tariff bill, fashioned adequately to protect the producers of farm products against ruinous foreign competition, will be passed,” he said, “eas well as a farm bill to provide abundant funds to as- sist in the orderly marketing of the products of the farm through the in- strumentality of a Federal farm board.” McNary carefully pointed out the new measure hardly would be expected to solve the entire farm question, and he outlined what he called “a long- time policy,” embodying many phases of relief. which can not be included in |. the new measure. “Since no small part of the difficul- ties of farmers during the past several yeats have grown out of the operation of surpluses,” he said, “every effort should be made to prevent the damag- ing effects of overproduction ‘through a better adjustment of supply to market requirements. Requires Support by Congress. “This calls for the energetic support by the Congress of price analysis and outlook work. It calls for intensive 4 meget ee { Making Face at Wite, Man Is Given 30 Days A 30-day jail sentence befell George R. Kidwell, 38 years old, yes- terday in Police Court for making a face at his wifc, who had testified against him. Kidwell was charged with intox}- cation. Mrs. Kidwell testified that when he was unable to get liquor, he took to drinking bay rum and other hair tonics. Judge Ralph Given decided that Kidwell needed hospitalization and so recom- mended. While being led to the prisoners’ dock, Kidwell make a face at his wife, and muttered resentfully toward her. The magistrate recalled Kidwell and asked him what he had said. The wife- volunteered, “He made a face at me, Your Honor.” 7 The court then changed the sen- tence to 30 days in jal y jail. salesmanship of outlook information through the extension forces, both Fed- eral and State, and through coopera- tive organizations of producers.” Three other features of agriculture re- lief were demanded by McNary, includ- ing readjustment of freight rates in some sections, passage of his legislation to provide means for crop insurance through private agencies and reduction of taxation. ) He did not reveal any further what his new bill would be. He informed the United Press there is a possibility that the House will work simultaneous- ly with the Senate so that the farm bill can be passed by both houseg be- fore the tariff bill e taken up by the House, thus enabling Congress to get the farm bill out of the way early in the session.

Writes Memoirs, 2 Following 17 Years at Sea Joan Lowell Only Woman Aboard Pacific Sailirig Schooner of Which Her Father Was Captain; Tells of Many Strange Episodes; Now an Actress. . New York, March 16 (United Press). | ‘T]he sea, which has brought forth so ‘Yany strange tales, has now given up the story of a girl who spent the first seventeen years of her life aboard a schooner which roamed the South Pa- clfic. Joan Lowell, not yet dut of her twen- ties, is the girl and the story is her autobiography. Under the title of “Cradle of the Deep” it will be pub- lished tomorrow by Simon & Shuster ‘and is the Book of the Month Club &e- lection for March. “My life at sea began when I was 11 months old,” Miss Lowell writes. “Father had brought me down to the schooner, a tiny bundle wrapped in a blanket. I ‘Was sO small I would have been Jost in his bunk, so father and Stitches—the sailmaker—made a diminutive ham- mock of-canvas. This hammock was ewung from bolts, one sunk in the wall above the middle of father’s hunk and the other into the stanchion at the Toot of the bunk on the outside. The rolling of the ship rocked the hammock ~ More steadily than the most indulgent -* mother.” Known on Pacific Coast. The ship was the schooner Minnie A. the great tragedy of her father's life. He was master of the Star and it was after it was gone that he left the north, bought the Minnie A. Caine and never again returned to the Arctic, where his earlier years as a sailing master had won him wide repute. She saw her father with a rifle save his ship by shooting through the fun- nel of a water spout, thus breaking it, when in a few minutes more it would have treated the Minnie A. Caine in mid-Pacific exactly as does a cyclone treat a barn in mid-America. She went ashore at Atafu, one of the tiny islands of the South Sea, and there was the guest of the chief at the dance of the virgins, wherein the native girls select their mates from among the eligible males. At another island where the Minnie A. Caine called for guano she saw 4 French convict laborer, condemned to spend his life on the island, swim a half mile out to the ship, but upon seeing her, a woman, aboard he be- came so frightened he swam immedi- ately back without ever stating his business. The whole book is replete with strange episodes and incidents, and into them is knit the story of a girl-child, growing to womanhood, in surround- Caine, a trim craft, well remembered in many ports on the Pacific Coast. Its Puget Sound, San Francisco, and some- imés Eureka, to the Antipodes, lay in **a@ cargo of calico and whatnot, trade it for copra and sandalwood or maybe .guano in the remote islands of the South Seas, and then sail back to San Francisco. Miss Lowell walked her first steps holding to the rail of the poop deck of the ship off Easter Island. Her first words were an imprecation against the -. wind. Her baby clothes were made by the ship's sailmaker, and when, nearly '@ young lady, she wore her first skirts ~’ she had to learn how to walk in them. -- At the age of 6 she Jumped overboard in mid-Pacific and went swimming aft- er a sea horse which she coveted. She réceived her coat of tar and feathers ~'with the other uninitiated sailors at the hands of Old Neptune upon her first crossing of the Equator. She swears died from scurvy. She suffered . “the terrible tortures which’ the sea ““metes out to the sailormen when they _-are becalmed and run out of water. She ~“Jearned to swear four minutes without a : Took Turn at Wheel. But, what was more, she took her _. turn at the wheel before she was in her teens and could steer as true a course as any sailor. She pulled on the lines and she went aloft to set and take in sail. She had her duties the same as every sailor aboard the ship and at times her father relied heavily n her. - But in the course of this seven- ai ‘teen years as the only woman among -**@ company of deep sea sailors, life had for her many peculiar turns. With no mother to guide her, her father taught _her from his,Bible the lessons of life. "He ed her carefully from any - Yealization of her sex. Finally when love came violently into her life, the ' pallor who was the object of her affec- tions left the ship, driven by his feel- .. the captain’s daughter. It was not long after that that Miss . Lowell and her father both left the " sea which had claimed their little - schooner down off the coast of Aus- +> tralia. Fire broke out in paint ~ “Stitches,” the faithful old sail maker, _. who, next to her father, was her closest , friend and the nurse of her babyhood. Then, with her father, she swam 3 miles from a sinking lifeboat, through the night to a lightship, and was saved. Her father, 70 years old, gave up the sea and now lives out in California, his spirit “far out in the tropics, dream- ing of a fair wind and the stars and the southern cross to steer by.” Wreck of the “Star.” Lowell tells the story of the wreck of the ship Star of the Alaska Packers fieet in Alaska when 110 men were lost, .

On leaving the sea she tried stenography, operating a switchboard, became a waitress, played’ a role with Charlie Chaplin in the “Gold Rush,” and then turned to the stage. She is now playing in stock in New Orleans. Home Brew MayPay State’s Bank. Losses Bill in Nebraska Provides Tax on Malt to Meet Deficit in Funds. Lincoln, Nebr., March 16.—Two bills providing for reconstruction of the State Guaranty Fund and paying its debts were added to the already bewil- dering mass of legislation proposed on that subject. Both bills obviously rep- resent the ideas of the “Old Guard.” They were presented as committee sub- stitutes by the house and senate bank- ing committee. Scofflaws, who brew their own beer, would pay a good share of the $20,000,- 000 guaranty fund deficit, under the house proposal. It provides for a tax of 1 per cent an ounce on malt and 4 cents a package on cigarettes, the pro- ceeds to go to paying the deficit. Under the plan, the present levy of six-tenths of 1 per cent annually on the average daily deposits of banks would be continued until June 1, 1929. After that the levy would be cut tv one-fourth of 1 per cent annually. To supplement this rather slender revenue (comparatively, at least) the malt and cigarette taxes would be levied until the deficit was paid, This might be 10 to 20 years. The malt tax, the bill provides, is to be levied on all malts and any “malts used for mak- ing malt or spirituous liquors.” Under this bill home brew industry would be given legislative cognizance. Bare Legs Are Seen No Hosiery Menace Girls Love Silk and Won’t Abandon Stockings, Says Business Man. Pasadena, Calif., March 16—If two girls are walking down the street in ab- breviated skirts and one’s legs are bare while those of her chum are incased in silk stockings—“well, the stockings have it,” according to Roger N. Kimball, vice president and general manager of the Allen Hosiery Co. of Kenosha, Wis., who | is spending the winter at the Hotel ‘ Maryland. “I’m not one bit afraid,” de- clared the visitor, “that the vogue to bare legs will ruin our business. “Girls may be fickle, but they all love silk and never will abandon silk hosiery. In fact, so long as the abbreviated skirt is worn, silk stocking manufacturers will continue to increase their business. “Although there probably never will be such a thing as a runless stocking, a darning machine which repairs a run without. leaving a trace has been in- vented and before long every city in the United States may install at least one of these machines in order to keep its feminine population in a good humor.” Floods and other public calamities last year caused a $20,000,000 loss in France. GOITRE NOT A DISEASE Milwaukee, Wis.—It has been brought to light by scientific research that goiter is not a disease and is not to be treated as such. Dr. A. A. Rock, Dept. L-3, Box 737, Milwaukee, Wis., a | prominent goiter specialist for over 24 years, has. perfected a different method of treatment for his patients that has proved remarkably successful. This same method is now being used for a home treatment of goiter cases all over the country with astonishing re- sults. The doctor states that goiter is a condition which grows worse with neglect and recommends immediate at- tention no matter how small the growth may appear. He strongly op- poses needless operations. Dr. Rock is the author of a book that tells in a simple way about treating goiter at home. He has published this book at his own expense and will send a copy - murmured. | For Less De MAIN OFFICE-6™ & C. Sts. S.W.

Dak. The house was built a room at a time, so that it stretches like a string of packing boxes strung together along the muddy creek’s bank. Though hundreds of thousands of dollars have been carried away from the green baize tables by the only liv- ing woman pal of the “bad men” of the old West, and though even today she makes her occasional “cleaning,” “Poker Alice” is frankly “hard up” and tries to make a living from her little garden and by raising chickens and igs. r But cigar or no cigar, and with her frank boasting of the days when she could run a faro game “neater ’n any man,” and with historical chronicle of her winnings over the gaming table, “Poke Alice” has learned that in the eyes of her governor she is “just a nice white-haired old lady of 76.” She learned this when Gov. W. J. Bulow of her State pardoned her and of 1876, their avowed purpose to bring law and order to the then a. and woolly community. But Jack McCall slipptd uff behind “Wild Bill” in a saloon ijone day and shot him dead. And the reigh of bad men was on again when “Pokby Alice” reached Deadwood.

She came to, Amer- ica when she was 8 y oid, her family settling in the uthj, where Alice Ivers was, in due time, sraduated from a woman’s college. Her first husband was Plank Duffield, a mining engineer of dville; Colo., dance halls and gambling dens were wide open. Alice’—though the name was not really hers—turned to gambling as her means of livelihood. She married W. G. Tubbs, who, she explains, thought he was a gambler, though he soon saw the wisdom of leaving that work to her. Then began years of wandering from one new mining town to another “cleaning up,” while hardened male gamblers looked on open-mouthed. “Poker Alice” says that her career as a big-time gambler really started. one night in Silver City, N. Mex., when she broke the bank at faro, only to announce that the bank was open and the limit off. She had won a little more than $900 when she turned banker, which etartled even a Wild se somewhat used to women gam- ers.

JOYRIDER IS GIVEN TERM: Eight men, convicted of assault and theft charges, were sentenced to serve @ total of 52 years in prison yesterday by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy and Justice Frederick L. Siddons in the criminal branches of the District Su- preme Court. Three men—James Veaney, Frank Fenwick and Samuel Betters, all col- ored-were sentenced to serve ten years each by Chief Justice McCoy. Veaney was found quilty of assaulting Mrs. Catherine Downing with a brick near St. Aloysius Church, North Capi- tol and I streets, on last November 3. The day after the assault, the woman's purse was found near the scene and Veaney, while incarcerated in a police station, attempted to smuggle out a message to a friend to establish an ' i j alibi. Fenwick was convicted of a similar charge. He was charged with striking Mrs, Lucy Maynard, of Aurora Heights, Va., in the head with a brick in day- light on October 31, last, near the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Adjudged an habitual criminal, Bet- ters was given the ten-year sentence on a housebreaking and larceny con- viction. He was alleged to have broken into 1724 Nicholson street northwest on October 10, to steal $70 belonging to Hattie Brooks, colored. Betters possesses a long criminal record. Stanley P. Sampson, 24 years old, was given five years upon his plea of guilty to a joy-riding charge.

The only refer- ence that I shall make to that circum- Stance is that the office was accepted at the persona] request of the President of the United States, which request was made over my clear, unequivocal and pronounced objection. Sullivan on Sick Leave. At that time the chief of police, on sick leave. It was understood that his ailment was not of a serious nature, and it is very certain that Maj. Sulli- van then had no thought that he would never again perform active duty. Three months later it became apparent that he was incapacitated and that his Successor must be selected. The duty thus entailed was of the most serious nature. The new chief should be of unimpeachable personal character, enjoy the confidence and command the respect of the depart- ment, possess an intimate and intelli- gént idea of police duty and have a high order of administrative ability. It was easy to formulate the standard, but could there be found an available man measuring up to these qualifica- tions, and, if so, could he be prevailed upon to accept the appointment. To invite applications for such a po- sition may be regarded as deliberately seeking trouble. Every aspirant, whether a member of the force or an outsider, can command influential sup- port. It is common know8:dge that on at least one occasion a contest for this particular position engaged the attention of the Chief Executive. Nor is there reasonable ground for assum- ing that an appointment made under the pressure of influence will satisfy the public and the rank and file of the Police Department. The public is critical and rightly so. The men of the department will follow a forceful leader; they simply mark time if the chief does not measure up to their idea of the requirements of the job. Hesse Assistant Chief. At the time of which this is written there were four assistant superintend- ents. By a provision in the appropria- tion bill for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1925, the Congress had increased the number from three to four for s0 long a time as the additional assistant superintendency was filled by the then chief clerk of the department, Edwin B. Hesse. This was most unusual recogui- tion by the Congress of the United States of the ability of a particular in- dividual. Mr. Hesse had been a civilian em- ploye of the local Police Department for no less than 30 years. My acquaintance with him had been limited to the few occasions when as a practicing lawyer 1 had had business with police headquar- ters. The impression thus formed of Mr. Hesse was that he was a man ex- ceedingly well versed in police adminis- tration and that he was always cour- teous. I could not dismiss this impres- sion from my mind, and it is with com- plete satisfaction that I refiect at this later date that I made no attempt to do so. No person had spoken of Mr. Hesse for the superintendency. From no source had any recommendation been made in his behalf. This seemingly in- dicated that he was beholden of no man. Here, then, was another attribute which the appointee must possess, namely, absolute freedom from what might develop into tangling alliances. Logical procedure indicated that ttre next step was to obtain the best possi- ble report on the ability of this man to fil! the anticipated vacancy. This information 1 determined to ob- tein from local citizens who knew the facts, whose integrity was beyond re- proach, and who were wholly disinter- ested save in the desire of all good Washingtonians that the office be filled by a high-grade man. Three such men were invited to call at my office. They came singly and at different times, none knowing for whet purpose or that oth- ers had been invited. Recommended by Three Men. One of these men was a leading mer- chant with unusual experience in di- recting men, and who had known Mr. Hesse from the days of their boyhood on Capitol Hill; another had served as private secretary to a former chief of police and since then had shown a profound knowledge of District affairs as an assistant corporation counsel; the third was a retired superintendent of police who, by reason of extended service in the department, knew its inside workings. It was through the knowledge and the personal observa- tion of these men, and the wide range of their observation and experience, that I believed it possikle to obtain a fair view of Mr. Hesse from every angle. The men were Gen. Anton Stephan, Mr. Ringgold Hart and Maj. Harry L. Gessford. To each of them was put the single question: “Would Mr. Hesse make a good chief of police?” in every instance the response was an immediate affirmative, and various rea- sons were advanced to support the view that it would be the ideal ap- pointment. formed me that he was about to apply for retirement. As we sat together at his home it was apparent that this veteran was thinking not so much of himself as of the Police Department in which he had served 36 years, ad- vancing on sheer merit, step by step, from private to major and superin- tendent, Modestly, but with an inter- est which he mede no attempt to con- ceal. he suggested that 1 would ex- perience difficulty in deciding upon nis successor. I repiied that when his re- tirement was announced, the new su- perintendent would at once be named “Who?” asked Maj. Sullivan. “Mr. Hesse,” I responded. Grasping my hand, end in a voice filled with emotion, he uttered words which I shall never forget. Said he, “I did not dare to hope that you would appoint him. Now I have no fear for the department.” Hesse Did Not Want Job. In fairness to the man selected, it must be said that he most vigorously opposed his own selection. It was his strong persona] desire and that of his family that he remain an assistant superintendent. In a residence in Washington of half a century, I have been actually certain of but two in- stances of a public office seeking a man. This was one of them. I Have gone into this detail in order | that the citizens ~f the District of Co- lumbia may know -.ow the present chief of police was made. The order of the Board of Commissioners did not make him, I apprehend that all thinking people accept the view which I have held since the time of his ap- tment, which is that Edwin B. [ was in the making for Superin- tendent of the Metropolitan Police De- partment for 30 years. He was acquir- ing knowledge of police duties, absorb- ing precedents of police administration, winning and holding the confidence and steadily ning the esteem of the National Capital. This was attested by the unimpeach- Maj. Daniel Sullivan—may the grass | ever grow green where he rests—was | {and who performed! a dist{nct public |service when they spoke unequivocally in favor of his designation ‘as head of 'the Police Department. The part which |I played in presenting his name for the unanimous vote of the Board of Com- missioners was of small mqgment; was but a natural step in the stpady devel- opment of one whom the municipelity had been preparing for 30 years to be the guiding and directing hand in the work of protecting life, limb. and prop- erty. Nagged in Congress. The retiring chief! of police rightly regarded his position as a |24-hour-a- day job. It was natiral that he incur the ill will and the enmity of violators of the law, and this he comsidered as routine incident. There wag no justi- fication however, in detracting him from the highly important public serv- ice whereunto he wes calied by the | deviling and nagging of | individual members of Congress, members of a small subcommittee, and bureaucrats of the general Government. | He was three decades in the making and he servec as chief but a little over three years. From the beginning of his administration he was the target for insidious attacks by the lawless element. Likewise, he was the sub- ject of invidious tirades of self-adver- tisers in Congress. Moreover, these de- liberate perverters of the tfuth made accusations against His personal char- Some weeks later Maj.

It is proposed by a member of Con- gress that an Army officer be made chief of the Metropolitan Police De- partment. T advice comes from a man of national insignificance, who ts not known to have any intimate knowledge of the highly spegialized ad- ministrative work of a police depart- ment. The suggestion is made that a retired officer be obtained. At once the truth stands out that Army offi- cers wear no medals for business abili- ty.

Herbert M. Lord, present Director of the Budget, and he entered the Army from civil life quring the Spanish-American War. It has never been contended, to my knowledge, that Army officers assigned as Engineer Com- missioners or as thelr assiptants po- sessed any business acunten, save Capt. H. C. Whitehurst. He became au Engi- neer officer during the World War and has lately resigned from the Army. In the Metropolitan Poli¢e Depart- ment there are inspedtors and men of lesser grade capable of filling the posi- tion of chief of the force. je appoint- ment of one of these men ig infinitely preferable to experimenting with re- tired Army officers. But the promo- tion of an officer of the Department possessing even the high order of in- tegrity and ability of Maj. Hesse, will not insure the degree of police service to which the Capital of the) Nation ts entitled. And this is becauge the ap-~ pointee, in the present order| of, things, will be hamstrung by Congressional self-advertisers. : With those members of Congress who are constructors and not destroyers, rests the power to place police adminis- tration on a high standard, ‘This can be accomplished by making the super- intendent of the Metropolitan Police Department a free and independent agent, with a life tenure jof office, answerable to no oné, and removable only by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia after due hearing. Maj. Hesse assumed the superin- tendency in the hope that! he could lead the department in renfering 100 per cent service. He enforce the law, he exacted the respect and the coopera- tion of the men 6n the force, he gave an administration that was clean and honest. Now he passes out of the pic- ture, and all that remains 1g the out- line of whet he did and what he migh: have continued to do for many years had he not been heckled beyond human endurance. 4 Cuno H.

' Federal attack, and several déetach- ments of Escobar’s command on scout- ing duty between Monterey and San Luis Potosi were called back to the city to reinforce the revolutionary position. Capture of Aguas Calientes, revolu- tionary leaders said, had severed the federal lines of communication with Gen. Calles. The city was taken, said a bulletin issued at rebel headquarters, after a sanguinary conflict in which many federal soldiers were killed and others taken prisoner. Claims of successes by the govern- ment against the revolutionary move- ment in various parts of the republic met with denials from rebel headquar- ters. Reports that Durango had been captured by the government forces were branded as unfounded. Revolutionary leaders also announced the capture of 300 federal prisoners at Ojo Caliente, 300 miles north of Torreon. Indications that Gen. Escobar might seek cooperation from the United States Government were seen in the an- nouncement that Francisco Santa Ma- ria and G. Ugarte had left Torreon for Washington as envoys of the revolu- tionary government. Escobar Reported Fleeing. Mexico City, March 16 (A.P.).—Presi- dential headquarters this afternoon is- sued a communique stating that the federal aviation service had reported that Gen. Escobar, commander in chief of the insurgent force. in central Mex- ico, had begun to evacuate the rebel stronghold, Torreon. The presidential palace said that thus far no other details were known of the rebel movements from Torreon. The statement added that federal cavalry was near San Pedro, which is 30 or 40 minutes from Torreon by automobile. The presidential statement further said that President Portes Gil had or- dered the federal authorities in the State of Vera Cruz to free all rebel prisoners below the grade of lieutenant colonel. These prisoners formerly were in the forces of Gen J. M. Aguirre, who is now a fugitive. They said that they were ignorant of the military move- ment and had surrendered to the federals at the first opportiiity. Advices received at Chapultepec Castle this afternoon stated that the head- quarters of Gen. Almazan, leader of one of the advance federal columns, are being moved from Cacama toward San Pedro. So far as known Torreon has not been evacuated by the insurgents, the only news being from aviators, who reported that they saw the rebels with- in Torreon moving toward the rail station. Rebels Claim Gains. Laredo, Tex., March 16 (U.P.).—In- formation brought by special courier to Laredo from Torreeon said today that Gen. J. Gonzale Escobar, revolutionary commander in chief and Gen. Antonio I. Villareal are confident of victory over feedral forces commanded by Gen. Plu- tarco Elias Calles and Gen. Juan An- dreau Almazan. The courier also stated that Gen. Guillermo Rubio Navarette, one of the federal commanders at Torreon, had revolted with a large force of men and had taken considerable artillery over to the rebels. Other information reaching Laredo today was to the effect that Guillermo Rosas, secretary of Gen. Felix Diaz, had crossed the boundary line into Mexico near Nogales at the head of a large force of men to join the rebels. Moving on Mazatlan. Nogales, Ariz., March 16 (A.P.).— Mexican rebel forces north of Mazatlan, focal point of the western campaign in Sinaloa, were reported today busily engaged reparing bridges and railroad tracks, said to have been destroyed by federal troops for the purpose of halt- ing the revolutionist movement on that city. Gen. Ramon F, Iturbe was understood to be leading the advance on Mazatlan. There were reports that rebels were approaching Mazatlan also from the south and that a battle with the de- fending loyalist forces was imminent. It was generally believed, however, that an engagement at the west coast city was not probable for several days. Border conditions were unusually quiet today, with the federals strongly entrenched at Naco, Sonora. While the rebel forces had previously indicated their intention of reclaiming Naco from the defending federal troops of Gen Augustino Olachea apparently there were no signs of an early assault. The rebels continued to hold No- gales, Sonora, although everything seemed peaceful] there. Rebels Cross to U. 8. The entrance of 600 rebel soldiers on United States territory was reported from a ranch a mile and a half east of here. The troops, it was said, cul through the Internationa Fence and obtained a supply of water from the ranch. It was understood the revolu- tionists, after returning to the Mexicar. side, claimed they were unaware of! having crossed the border. In Naco the commissaire of police and several civilian officers raided the Foreign Club, owned by George M Pratt, an American, seized gambling | t made known. | | equipment valued at some $10,000 and | burned it in the street a few feet from the international] line. Whether this incident was connected with the revo- lution was not known.

Chacon stated he had received permission from the United States Gov- ernment to export war materials into Mexico and added that additional military supplies received would equip Gen. Augustino Olachea, in charge of federal forces, so that an offensive could be launched against either No- gales, to the west, or Agua Prieta, to the east, if developments necessitated. Brownsville, Tex., March 16 (A.P.). Two of the four Waco sport planes turned over to pilots of the Mexeican ee wee erm ne ee federal government here yesterday were wrecked at Monterey, Mexico, late to- day when they attempted to take of from the field there. The accident was witnessed by Jimmie Mattern, local pilot, who returned here after a round trip filght to Monterey with air mail. None of the filers was hurt. Lieut. Col. R. Fierro, chief of avia- tion for the Mexican army, and Capt. Luis Farell were the pilots who “crack- 44 up,” Mattern said. Farell’s ship crashed into a tree at the edge of the Monterey Field, and Col. Pierro’s craft nosed over in an attempted take-off. Both ships were damaged, Mattern reported. The accidents occurred as the four planes were taking off for Saltillo, where they were to join the advance against rebel forces at Torreon. After seeing their comrades crash, the other two pilots, Capt. Alberto Dieytz and Lieut. Juan Carmona, decided to re- main at the field.

WREATH IS LAID ON TOMB Providing of appropriations to carry on future missionary work in various parts of the world, and addresses by leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, are occupying the clos- ing sessions of the nineteenth annual session of the Woman's Missionary Council. Consecration of 24 missionaries and deaconesses by Bishop W. B. Beau- champ, of Atlanta, the most important event of the meeting, will take place tomorrow night at Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church South. There are thirteen deaconesses and eleven missionaries from various South- ern States who will be consecrated. The main speaker today will be Bishop E. D. Mouzon, of Charlotte, N, C. Bishop Mouzgon, who will speak on “Making America Christian,” gained Nation-wide recognition several years ago through his fight to unify the two branches of the Methodist Church. He has also been i. the limelight in recent years through his stand on various litical issues. His address, which is the annual sermon of tLe council, will be made at 11 o'clock this morning. Throughout the day officers of the council will speak In cen churches in Washington, Maryland and Virginia. At yesterday's meeting, Amarillo, Tex., Was chosen as the next meeting place. The Texas delegation made a bid for this honor by appearing in cow- boy hats and rendering rodeo yells. An- nouncement was made that appropria- tions for missionary work in China, Ja- pan, Korea, Siberia and Brazil have been recommended. Appropriations for other foreign countries will be made before the present meeting ends. An impressive event of yesterday was the ceremony at the Tomb of the Un- More than 300 dele- gates gathered at the shrine, while Mrs. FP. F. Stephens, president of the coun- cil, made an address and laid a wreath on the tomb on behalf of the council. A report by Mrs. Luke Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., chairman of the Commis- sion on Reevaluation, was made last night. Mrs. Johnson showed that through the efforts of the commission missionary work is being put on a sci- entific basis. She outlined the program of work for the ensuing year, describ- ing the methods that will be used to ascertain just where faults exist in missionary work and what means will be taken to remedy those faults. She stressed the importance of missionaries being college graduates and laid equal emphasis on character requirements. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMSHIPS New York, March 16. ARRIVED SATURDAY.

It May seem far-fetched at first sight to designate a dream as a compelling motive in such a hard-headed business as the motion-picture industry. Yet it was a dream that furnished the main- spring for starting William Fox on the road to his great achievements and that has lengthened his shadow till now it dominates the world of films. That imaginative spur came into be- ing when he was a small boy on the East Side. He had been brought there by his parents from Hungary, where he was born 50 years ago in the small town of Tulchva. His was only one more family in the teeming hordes of New York’s tenement district, just as urgently pinched for money. Young William Fox, when not attending grammar school, scurried about selling newspapers. He also helped out the meager family finances by peddling shoe polish which his father made on the family stove. Amid the raucous squalor of the East Side the boy had caught a gleam. It came from avid attendance on the cheap theatrical productions of the neighborhood. Poor as he was, he al- ways was able to scrape together a few pennies for sitting with the gallery gods and floating off into the witching realm of the stage. Likewise he man- aged to insert his small, agile self into most of the amateur theatricals of the district while he was 11 or 12 years old. He might have gone on into acting. Instead Fate whisked him into the business realm of the theater. His First Blunder. He heard of a penny arcade which could be bought at No. 700 Broadway in Brooklyn. Intent on capturing it before others, he made one of the few blunders of his business career. He telephoned ahead to the proprietor that he wanted to look this “peep show” over with an eye to purchase. Almost overnight he developed a flair for picturesque showmanship. He add- ed a shooting gallery and other fea- tures and established an arresting ballyhoo outside, with a conjurer per- forming his tricks. Becoming more daring, he established a motion picture theater on the floor pbove this con- verted store. That picture theater, holding 146 seats, was the smallest in the world. Recently Mr. Fox, invited to address the graduate class of business adminis- tration at Harvard, told them that he was influenced two years ago in get- ting the Roxy, the largest theater in the world, with its 6,200 seats, because he had once had the smallest. The former owner, who tricked him into the purchase, incidentally, after a showy beginning in the film business, has now subsided to the point where he is compelled to promote country clubs in the West to eke out an exist- ence. The man he duped has since be- ° a | WILLIAM FOX. ; climaxing his career with his recent acquisition of control in Loew's; Inc., and Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, which makes him the greatest individual) hold- er of cinema theaters and production units in the world. But he dig not announce his intention to buy Loew’s or any other of his recently acquired chains in advance, He learned his les- son over in Brooklyn. Film Supply Inadequate. | With a growing chain Of theaters to be furnished with pictures by his Greater New York Film Rental Ca, Mr. Fox found in 1913 that the supply of films for himself and other exhibitors to whom he catered was) both inade- quate and unsatisfactory. Determin- ing to make his own productions he organized the Box Office Attraction Co. with offices at No. 130 West Forty- sixth street, and sent .J. Gordon Ed- wards abroad to learn from the’ best European methods of directing—a p ess reversed in modern times, | Continental directors coming hey learn from America, With a si rented at Fort Lee, N.

When it was completed figured it did not meet with the sf ards he had set for his own proj and being a man of definite decisions, wanted to*“burn the damn thing.” It was saved at Edward’s intervention, and was so much in advance of most of the pictures of the period that it was a hit. Production expanded swiftly, spyrred on by Mr. Fox’s unflagging energy, and presently there were acting companies come the colossus of the screen world, located in Staten Island, Jersey | City William Fox, Who Dominates Film World Has Risen From Poor Boy fo Great Riches w~ Successfully Fights Motion- Picture Trust; Father of Movie Tones. and New York City, while his offices were occupying five floors, instead of part of one, on West Forty-sixth street. One of the striking developments of this period was the appearance of Theda Bara on the screen horizon. Fights Film Trust. Meanwhile his activities had brought him into collision with the motion picture “trust” of the period, known as the General Film Co, and the Mo- tion Picture Patents Co. This organ~- ization told Mr. Fox, as it told many another exhibitor, that he could take only such pictures as they chose to give him. Ever a fighter beneath his mild exterior, Mr° Fox led the battle against entrenched privilege. When after several years of legal skirmishes he succeeded in breaking this monop- olistic grip in the courts, his victory had a twofold significance for the film business. It permitted the unshackled development of the exhibitors and also allowed the identity of the leading Players to become known. Previously the trust, fearful lest the public’s favorites might grow too powerful, had refused to name any of them on the screen except Mary Pick- ford. The growth of the lucrative star system, and the public’s pleasure in recognizing popular choices, is directly traceable to the Fox crusade. Among the players whom the Fox company has lifted to screen fame are John Gil- bert, William Farnum, Dustin Farnum, Pearl White, Vivian Martin, William Russell, Virginia Pearson and Anna Q. Nilsson, not forgetting its modern crop of Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, Vic- tor McLaglen, Mary Astor, Mary Dun- can, Edmund Lowe, George O’Brien, Sue Carol, Lois Moran, Nick Stuart and Farrell Macdonald. The achievement of late years which seems to have given him the. most pride has been the introduction of movietone. While various promoters were puttering about with makeshift phonograph contrivances for talking pictures, Mr. Fox boldly committed himself to a radically new system, sci- entifically thought out. It was @ sys- tem implanting the sound on a track of fluctuating light bands alongside the pictures on the film. It was based on the already demonstrated principle that light waves are another form of sound weaves. Mr. Fox fores#w a new era with this. Finances Movietone. Three years ago Mr. Fox financed Theodore W. Case and Earl I. Sponable in experimenting with this method, At first it was regarded as a toy with a passing vogue by other film makers, forgetful that the same description was applied to early motion pictures.

As he did not answer I looked back. He was nowhere to be seen. I ran back a short distance along the track we had made and found George crumpled on the ground, his head bleeding. : + “I dropped to my knees beside him. He was still living. He whispered into my ear that he had felt very tired and suddenly fell down in a sort of ‘daze. He quickly recovered, struggled to his feet and was about to go on when he heard an excited rustling in; the branches of a tree above him. The next moment the head of a large ape was thrust through the leaves and glared down at him. Almost at the same time the ape p out a maséive arm and hufled a large stone down at = him. -| George was too bewildered to jump away. The stone crashed down on his head with great force. “Those were the last words G said to me.

As a result of the inquiry, and in consequence of the fact that Marr’s death made Folson heir to $50,000, the latter was arrested and held on suspicion of having himself killed his partner by beating in his head. The Accused’s Version. Sidney Folson said he was innocent. He explained the insurance complica- tion as having originated in a friendly gesture one for the other. that he and his partner had come into possession of knowledge of a tract of buried ivory in Africa. As the expedi- tion in search of it was likely to turn cut a risky one it occurred to them to insure each other in case of fatal acci- dents. He swore that the account he had given of Marr’s death was the true one as far as he knew. Asked why he had not brought the stone that killed his friend with him, he replied. that he was so stunned by the fatality that it never occurred to him to bring it. All he could think of was to get the body into civilization so that it could be given a proper burial. The Problem. Judging from the facts as we know them, were the police warranted in ac- cusing Foison of killing Marr? He revealed’ PALESTINE LEADER DECLARES ZIONIOM WELL ESTABLISHED Col. F. H. Kisch Says Country Ultimately Will Support 2,000,000 People. EXPERIMENTAL STAGE OF PLAN HELD PASSED 30,000 Jews on Farmiands Foundation for National Development, Report. “Zionism is no longer a drenm of ro- mantic idealists; it has passed the ex- perimental stage. There is already a pulsating, throbbing Jewish life in modern Palestme, which has become within the short span cf a few years the most important center of Jewish cul- ture. In spite of the quite natural difmf- culties of the beginning one can already see the strange phenomnon of reestab- lishment of Jewish life in Palestine, and there can be no doubt that an- other ten years of effort will bring about a still more startling revival of that Jewish culture which is now returning to the homeland of the Jews after 2,000 years of decay.” In these words Col. Frederick H. Kisch summarized the progress of Jew- ish colonization in Palestine for The Post. Col. Kisch, formerly of the British army, is at present the head of the Pal- estine executive of the World Zionist Organization, the body of three which administers Jewish affairs in Palestine and acts as the advisory body to the British government. After distinguished service in the war, during which he was severely wounded, the colonel be- came a member of the British peace delegation. He was active in the diplo- matic service up to 1922, when “he re- signed and decided to devote his life to furthering the Jewish homeland move- ment. He is' a Palestinian citizen by choice and *%s now on a visit in New York, where he has taken up negotia- tions with American Jewish organiza- tions. ‘Jews Now Number 150,000. . “The Jewish population in Palestine,” said the colonel, “has risen from about 60,000 at the end of the war to 150,- 000—a very remarkable increase if you consider it proportionately. At the same time the character of the Jewish popu- lation has undergone a great change. Previously, under the Turkish. govern- ment, the Jews of Palestine were oblig- ed to live a life not very differerit from that of the Arab majority. But today the Jews are living a life which is wholly Jewish. Hebrew is not only one of the languages of the country, but it is actually the lingua franca of the overwhelming majority of the Jews of Palestine. “The Jews, who have come here un- der the inspiration of the Zionist ideal, are living normal Jewish lives, without the complication of any other national affiliation, and are creating new social and moral values, based on the natural characteristics of the Jew- ish race. It is my hope and belief that aoe 'in.this way the Jewish spirit will be strengthened not only in Palestine, but wherever Jews live. “It is clear, however, that the process which I describe demands a healthy structure for the body of the Jewish people in Palestine. This, in its turn, demands in the first place a foundation of agricultural workers, and I am glad to say that 30,000 Jews are today liv- ing in Palestine on the land and from the land. Side by side with the de- velopment of the agricultural popula- tion there has been a development of inaustry in the cities, while one all- Jewish town with 40,000 inhabitants has come into being at Tel-Aviv, which was formerly a small suburb of Jaffa. Jewish labor is today manufacturing in Palestine a great variety of articles, in- cluding cement, soaps, socks, furniture, boots, etc., and a satisfactory beginning has been made with the creation of an export trade. Harbor Is Needed. “Palestine forms the terminus for the high road to Bagdad and the East from the Mediterranean. When a harbor will have been constructed at Haifa, on which work is to begin in the near fu- ture, we can expect the country to de- velop much more rapidly as a center of industrial and commercial activity. “The country has been hampered up till now by the cost of energy, since no coal or oil exists in Palestine. But step by step we are trying to remedy this lack of natural resources. Already Jewish initiative has created electrical power stations ‘or Jaffa, Tel-Aviv, Haifa and Tiberias, while work is well ad- vanced on an important hydroelectric project, under which energy derived from the water power of the Jordan will be distributed throughout the country. “The government of the country ts, for the time being, by a high commis- sioner representing England as manda- tory power, assisted by an executive council of nominated British officers. Most of the junior officerS are Palesti- n.ans—Jews and Arabs. There is at present no democratically representa- tive participation in the administra- tion, except in regard to the munici- palities, while there are elected munici- pal councils. “A difficulty arises owing to the dif- ferent standards attained by the Jews and by the Arabs, as also from their different habits. For example, we Jews put our women folk on equal level with the men and in .Tel-Aviv the women enjoy equal suffrage, “As you are aware, this is impossible with the Arabs, the Moslems keeping their wom- en still behind the veil. Again, while 1 do not suppose that there is one single illiterate Jew in Palestine, the great majority of the Arabs outside the cities are illiterate. “Experts tell us that it should not be impossible, ultimately, to settle in Palestine when the country is intensely developed a population of about 2,000,000 Jews. In any case it is clear that there is ample room for more than sufficient Jewish immigrants to allow of the free development of the natural Jewish life. “Throughout the plain of Esdraelon, which is dotted with agricultural set- tlements, you will hear only Hebrew spoken. In the towns and prewar colonies this principle is less abolute, but even there, Hebrew is the language most generally used by the Jews. The current Hebrew, although it differs hardly from the language of the Bible, is surprisingly modern. Of course, new words have to be devised for such instruments of modern civilization as telephones, bicycles, &c. For such purposes we have a “committee of the tongue,” which coins appropriate words based on ancient Hebrew roots. We have three Hebrew daily papers, Hebrew drama, Hebrew burlesque and a variety of Hebrew .technical journals. The new immigrants learn the language very quickly.” at-Large” Set March 4. ICAL inaugural weather, but not so bad as at Taft’s inaugural in 1909. Taft, as Chief Justice today, administered to Hoover the oath which he himself took twenty years ago, There for a moment we had an unprecedented scene—the President, the President-elect, and the former President grouped together on the in- augural platform. Taft, in his skull cap, chuckled softly as he looked at the weather and is said to have remarked: “This is nothing.” The blizzard attending his inaugural was something to remember. It caused JANES 40098 0R'2¢ Q ELIHU BOOT, Mr. Taft himself to remark on that occasion: “I always said it would be a cold day when 1 would become Presi- dent.” Coolidge’s only comment was: “It always rains on moving day.” g March 5. HE metamorphosis of genial Char- ley Curtis from a mild-mannered floor leader into a stern martinet presiding over the Senate is astonish- ing to behold. Perhaps I shouldn’t tell about it—it happened in executive ses- sion behind closed doors—but it was quite the sensation today after we got through confirming the new Cabinet. In his inaugural address, Charley seemed to be his same easy-going self. Along with a good many of my col- leagues, I supposed he was promising to take the Vice Presidency down off the dictatorial pedestal where it was put. by Charley Dawes and restore it to its traditional innocuousness, He was going to be a perfectly docile and well- behaved Vice dent of the approved conventional pattern. That was what we thought, but we soon discovered our mistake. As the bells rang and the doors swusig shut, senators lighted their cigars, began to gather in huddles to chat, and generally relax into the de- lightful informality of the exécutive session. Bang! Bang! Bang! went Charley's gavel. Every one looked up in astonish- ment. “Senators will please be in or- der,” commanded Charley. Too flabber- gasted to move, they hesitated, where- upon Charley brought down his gavel harder than ever, “Senators will take their seats and be in order,” he shouted. Presently a fair semblance of order was established and the proceedings began. Charley never relaxed his dis- cipline for an instant, The moment any one transgressed the rules, Charley romptly dig 8 him to order. Char- ey was as hard-boiled as a Prussian drill sergeant throughout. Kenneth McKellar succeeded in stir- ring up some fuss because Hoover didn’t send Mellon’s name in for re- confirmation. Maybe McKellar is right. At any rate he got a committee ap- pointed to investigate. If Mellon’s name had been submitted, I doubt whether there would have been a dozen votes against him. There being no gallery to listen to the oratory, the Senate broke all rec- ords for speed and quit in an hour and 40 minutes. Jim Watson elected floor leader— without a struggle. Not a vote against him. A rare tribute to Jim’s popt- larity. But it does seem a bit queer to have Jim as administration leader when I think of what he was saying about Hoover just a year ago. Con- sistency is the last thing to expect in politics. March 7. URING his porchfrunt campaign D at Marion in 1920, Warren Har- ding, in one of his rare moments of irritability, is reported to have ex- claimed, “That man Root, he is always getting us into trouble!” Harding was angered at Root’s activifles in helping to create the World Court. Perhaps he was also thinking of the day when Root caused such a furore in the Senate by siding with Woodrow Wilson in the Panama tolls controversy. Now we have Mr. Root, at the ripe age of 84, at Geneva with a brand new formula for ge*ting the United States into the World Court anc I hear my irreconcilable colleagues—the few who are left—echoing Warren Harding’s words. With Root on the other side of the Atlantic to explain his formula in person and his old law partner, Henry L. Stimson, here heading the State Je- partment, Borah and Hiram Johnson and George Moses are “viewing with alarm.” If Jim Reed were here the firebell would be ringing already, sum- moning patriots to save our independ- ence. Mr. Root has woven together some magic words to eliminate the objections to our reservation No. 5, which gives the United States an absolute veto pow- er over the submission of disputes to the court. I recall with what satisfac- tion the irreconcilables watched the adoption of that reservation as a part of the Senate resolution of ratification. One of them said to me later: “I al- most held my breath until we got it copper-riveted into the resolution. I was afraid the procourt senators would reneg on it at the last minute.” Mr. Root’s formula, if approved by the Hoover administration, must be submitted to the Senate in the form of a new protocol and if that should happen, I suppose we should witness another “last stand of the irrecon- Cllables.”" Tom Taggart dead. Tom was the last of the old-fashioned party bosses. One hy one, they have gone—Dick Croker, Roger Sullivan, Charley Mur- phy, George Brennan, and now Tom Taggart. Lots of good people looked upon Tom as a sort of political de- mon, but I knew him to be an able and kindly man. Some of my pious colleagues shuddered when he came to the Senate, but they soon found that fhere was a great deal more to him than a mere machine politician, Tom was a power in the Democratic conventions of 1920 and 1924 He backed the late Senator Sam _ Ralston, of Indiana, for the presidential nom- ination at the Madison Square Gar- den convention and he would have nominated him if Ralston hadn't re- quested withdrawal of his name on account of ill health.

Those held are Peter Schavelski-Bork, a former Russian lieutenant; Sergile Lawroff, an engineer, and three news- paper writers, Alexander Nelidoff, Alex- ander von Rossman and Mrs. Olga Papkevitch.

G. Marshall Claims Lateran Treaty Effects Combina- tion of Pope and Mussolini Over Temporal and | Religious Worlds; Rev. J. A. Ryan Defends. New York, March 16 (N.Y.W.NS.).— Charlies C. Marshall, the Boston attor- ney whose lettefs to Gov. Smith inject- ed the question of Catholicism into the presidential campaign, rose before 1,200 members of the Foreign Policy Associa- tion in the Hotel Astor today to put a question to American Catholics at large. Discussing the Vatican-Italian ac- cord along with Father John A. Ryan, of; Catholic University, Count Carlo Sforza and others, Mr. Marshall con- tended that the signing of the Lateran Treaty, which establishes a papal state, really means in effect that the Pope and Mussolini have combined “in an international imperialism over the tem- poral and religious worlds.” Mr. Marshall asked his audience if American Roman Catholics really ap- proved the terms of this treaty. “If so,” he seid, ref€rring to Gov. Smith, “how do you account for the disap- pearance from their minds of the noble sentiments expressed by a Roman Cath- Olic statesman in this country in May, 1927, when he sald, ‘I believe in the equality of all churches, all sects and all beliefs before the law as a matter of right and not as a matter of favor.’ ‘Did the statesman and his applaud- ing coreligionists mean this only for the United States, with a Roman Cath- olic minority, and not mean it for Italy, with a Roman Catholic majority? Would they preserve religious liberty in America and stab it to death in Italy? “Do they hold that religious liberty is something to be granted by the Pope to one nation and denied by the Pope to another—something like ter- ritory or tribute—to be granted or withheld in the exercise of statecralt hy sovereignties, or do they hold reii- gious liberty as the inalienable and im- perishable attribute of human society in the divine order, whether the ma- jority vote be Roman Catholic, Protest- ant, Jew or unbeliever?” Mr. Marshall, “who charged that what had happened in Itely now could be expected to happen in any country in the world “when Roman Catholic representation in the electorate obtains ® preponderance,” was asked by a radio listener, who telephoned during subse- quent discussion, why he had opposed the election of Gov. Smith because of alleged subjection to the Pope when the Pope himself had been divested of his temporal power in Italy “by devout Catholics.” “I never opposed the election of Gov. Smith,” said the Bostoner. Father Ryan, of the Catholic Univer- sity at Washington and author of “The State and the Church,” particularize on the terms of the new treaty, explain- ing their significances and maintaining that they gave to the church in Italy approximately the same privileges as the Church now has in the United States. In one paragraph he met Mr. Mar- shalis’ arraignment and said it was nonsense to say there would be any abatement of religious liberty in Italy or elsewhere and “stupid to assume that Catholics throughout the world owe the Pope civil and spiritual alle- giance.” “Oivil allegiance would be impossi- ble.” he said sharply. “Why, no state | would permit it. Such statements only |show that the Pope has become the world’s last bogie.” Although the sharp applause which greeted the more pointed parts of the speeches and discusion indicated parti- |san feelings, there was no disorder at the immense luncheon meeting of the association, which filled the hotel ball- room. Fascism and antifascism were as much in evidienve emotionally as Catholicism and anticatholicism. Count Sforza, a distinguished Italian who was former minister of foreign af- fairs. after having been the Italian minister to China and ambassador to France, spoke as a devout Catholic, but did not approve the step which Musso- lint had taken in effecting the treaty which creates a papal state. “This treaty does not mean the solu- tion of a problem,” he sani. “The prob- lem was already solved. It means the creation of a new problem which is morally a much more serious problem and experiment.” Mr. Marshall, making the longest contribution to the meeting took a fundamental stand, averring that “if the supernatural claims of the papecy are admitted, every question involved in thé concordat is disposed of in favor of the Pope. Nothing can stand against the representative of God Himself. Con- cede the claim of Divine right and this might as well adjourn—there would no questions to discuss. All that 1 say is, therefore, based on the assumption that papal claims are falla- cio . us. “I concede the sincerity with which they are maintained, but by me and by many of you they must be regarded as the result of an illusion to which our minds are not subject, or of a divine revelation which to us has been denied “And yet this concordat is built upon the recognition of those claimsa— the very claims which causéd the struggle of the centuries until they were repudiated in Europe and in the United States. “The international significance of the concordat is the reassertion by the of & supernatural sovereignty in field of politics and government, and in the declaration by the Itelian | aa that it recognizes the sovereignty, not only in the state but in the inter- national sphere. The two sovereignties thus combine in an international im- perialism over the temiporaliand the re- ligious worlds. The document before you is clearly the création; of two ab- solutisms—that represented by Premier Mussolini and that represented by the Pope. Betwéen these two absolutisms I seé no point at which ‘the Italian people or the membership of the Roman Catholic Church function in these grave consummations, i “The absolutism of Premier Mussolini is the absolutism of the civic dictator. The absolutism of the Pope is an al solutism under a claim of divine right. If you ask for the proof af papal ab- solutism, I will give it to’ you in the words of the nt Pope himself, who, introducing the subjéct of the Vatican state to the notice of the world, sald: “"The divine origin a nature of our power as well as the sacred right of the community of the faithful scat- tered throughout the entire world, re- quire. that this sécred power should be independent of all human authority, should not be subject to human laws.’” Mr. Marshall added that there are more than a million people in Italy “who reject the papal c ss” and that the world had a right ta ask “what is the church’s relation to the great numbers of the humian race who re- pudiate the ntifical sovereignty of the Pope?” use this severeignty, he charged, “menaces and undermines their constitutional guarantees, it nullifies the natural rights of non- Catholic minorities.” Spanish King Signs Antiriot Decrees Madrid University Suspend- ed and Other Disciplinary Measures Taken.

Don't discard old clot | into —an ulekly I heading of “ ing! Turn it with a Post er for Sal.” What really prompted Olvany to re- sign? The first was most avidiy discussed. It is no secret that the district leaders welcomed Olvany’s retirement as the opening they have long sought for re- capturing control of the organization. The “outside” leadership imposed by the so-called “respectable” element in Tammany has long been a thorn in the side of the leaders. Opposed From the First. Most of them did not want Olvany in the first place, and accepted him only because former Gov. Smith and his followers ‘insisted upon hiin. So long a8 Smith's politcal star was in the ascendancy there was nothing to do but string along with him. Now Smith is through, es the Tam- many leaders see it, and his chief lieu- tenant is out of the way, the chance they have waited for is at hand and they plan to lose no time in seizing it. They intend, if they can muster the strength, to put a district leader in the new wigwam. That, at least, is the attitude of the district leaders so far as it could be ascertained from the cryptic replies to inquiries. That the lines are already forming may be inferred from the fact that many of the leaders confessed they are already committed to a candidate. Among the district leaders, John F, Curry, commissioner of records and ar- biter of the political destiny of the low- er West Side, appeared to be the favor- ite. , a8 one ieader put it, “is a regular fellow, a businessman and he doesn't wear a high hat.” Martin G. McCue, of the late; Charles F. Murphy’s old “Gas House” district, ‘is in a receptive mood and has his supporters. Another leader in the same assembly district, Michael J. Cruise, city clerk and clerk of the board of aldermen, would be acceptable to some. Lawyer Not Desired. To be acceptable to the district lead- érs, a cahdidate must be a layman— that is, not a lawyer. Peter Hamill, leader of former Gov. Smith’s old dis- trict ,is influential in Tammany circles, but he probably would be opposed be- cause he is a lawyer. In the view of the fleld workers, the hall has had too many lawyers. Lead- ers with law firm connections have a way of profiting that is not acceptable to the rank and file. The activities of Judge Olvany’s firm have been the sub- ject of discussion in Tammany circles for some time. One of the district leaders’ chief objections to the present regime is that the lawyers have been getting all the plums. In planning their campaign for put- ting Tammany back on the old-time basis, when a district leader really counted for something, the small fry are not underestimating the influence of former Gov. Smith and the new Tammany element. Smith has had his day, as the dis- trict leaders see it, but they concede he is still a force to recokon with. If he and his followers should decide to put up a scrap for the continuance of the “respectable” Tammany, it is ad- mitted he would have to be dealt with. A threat on his part to bolt Tammany and run as fusion candidate for mayor, While “John Ferguson” is not the sort of theater pabulum babes would feed on it is, forsooth, on such stuff as this that the guild has grown fat; fab- ulously well fed.

DISTRICT AND MIAMI TD BE LINKED BY AIR Passenger Air Line Is An- nounced for Winter Months; Begins Next December. NONSTOP TRIP IS PLANNED Miami Beach, Pia... March 16 (AP.). Commodore A. A. Schantz, president of the Detroit and Cleveland Naviga- tion Co., announced today the propos- ed operation of a passenger air line between Washington, D. CC. and Miami during the winter months. A similar route will be operated between Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo during the summer, he said. Service’ will be inaugurated June 1 over the northern route, according to the »lafi as announced by Mr. Shantz; the owning company being the Stout D. & C. Air Lines. The flying concern will operate four Dornier Super-Wal planes on a daily echedule, he said. The planes will be the largest com- mercial planes rating in America, with accommodations for 25 persons end a crew of four, including a smok- ing room and a buffet. The southern operating system will be started De- cember 1, to continue through April 1. The trip from Washington to Miami will be a nonstop flight under present schedules, Mr. Schantz said. —-—-—— Aviation authorities in Washington have not been officially notified of the new route, it was learned last night. However, reports that such a develop- ment has been under consideration have been received in the Capital, ac- cording to Ernest L. Jones, director of publications of the aeronautical branch of the ment of Com- merce. Mr. Jones said last night that he believes sea planes will be used, and that the company will concentrate on some portion of the Potomac as a terminal. Party and Dinner Open Dormitory Preparatory School Faculty Honored at Georgetown for instance, would cause many a dis- trict leader to think twice before throwing his weight against the former | governor. Mayor Walker Involved. The question of succession to Olvany’s mantle is closely bound up with Mayor Walker's political aspira- | \tions. The mayor refused today to) make any comment for quotation ex- | cept to dehy there had ever been any friction between himself and Olvany. The mayor is believed to have the support of the majority of the leaders. That being the case, he is content to wait to see which way the wind is blowing before coming out openly for any particular candidate. In any event, it was predicted today, the choice of the new leader lies with the executive committee, composed of the district leaders, and may be threshed out next Friday when the committee meets to consider Olvany’s proferred resignation. A few of the leaders were all for accepting the res- ignation on the spot, when it was offered last Friday, but cooler heads prevailed and it was decided to consult ;} Of the university faculty. the mayor. It was denied today that there had been a break with Mr. Smith at Albany | early on the day Olvany handed in his resignation. Olvany purposely avoided the former governor and the mayor while attending the legislative corre- spondents’ dinner there because he did not wish to disclose his intentions.

PAINLEVE ALSO IS VICTOR Paris, March 16 (A.P.)—Raymond Poincare, premier, guided his “Armis- tice Day cabinet” across another - Mamentary shoal this morning and, ad dawn broke, was voted confidence in the chamber of deputies, 306 to 262. On a sécond motion, taken at the end of an all-night session in which the war ministry of Paul Painleve had the government ma- to 68, the vote being 314 Premfer Poimeare and M. Painleve both took the floor to answer inter- pellations and participate in the-de- bate in order to survive the sniping of radical deputies, who charged neg- ligence in caring for the health of French soldiers in the occupied Rhine- land area, Second Attack in Two Days. It was the second attack the cabi- net had weathered in two days, other votes of confidence having been given Thursday, 323 to 2564 and 321 to 249, on questions involvoing return of re- ligious congregations to France. Socialists and radicals made what they called the great m and in- tense distress of the French Rhineland occupation troops the basis of their attack. They presented figures to show that 272 French soldiers on the Rhine died’ during February from grip and influenza. M. Painleve countered this with fig- ures to show that the ratio of 272 deaths to 45,000 soldiers was less than that caused by the influenza epidemic in Paris and elsewhere in Europe dur- ing the same period. ~ The government critics claimed the army chief had failed in displaying initiative necessary to break regulations and meet exceptional conditions and they cited many pitiful and absurd ap- plications of the rules. Admits Individual Failure. The war minister said that all pos- Sible had bene done to-meet the un- precedented situation with means at the government's disposal. At the same time he did not deny there had been individual failures and he said two generals and a colonel would be pun- ished for dereliction in the crisis. The investigation, he said, would be con- tinued and others punished if found at fault. The premier himself wound up the debate. He said it served the useful purpose of opening everybody's eyes to the urgency of certain reformg which would ».e@ submitted to the chamber. The first vote was taken at dawn, the government gaining a majority of 46. Deputy Georges Soapini, the blind vet- eran, then proposed the second motions expressing confidence that the govern ment would punish persons at fault and take all measures. to protect the heaith of the troops. MAGNATE OF FILMS ROSE FROM POVERTY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15. Standby at the first house to run it, the Roxy, and an audible representa- tion of topical events in three weekly issues which makes the average news reel seem like the pale shadows of reality. By the end of this year it will have seven issues a wéek. On the side of feature productions Movietone has culminated with “In Old Arizona,” the first outdoor all- dialogue film. There have been such comedy talkies as the skits of Robert Benchiey and Clark and McCullough hailed as unique contribution to the art of entertainment, besides dramatic short features like “Napoleon’s Bar-« ber” and the presentation of intimate, vivid glimpses of such celebrities as Bernard Shaw, Mussolini, King George, King Alfonso, the Prince of Wales and others who have brought the average man right within the charmed circle of the great of the earth. All this has stamped the name of Fox on @ great milestone of talking picture progress. Other producers have adopted the sound-on-film method, and a recent survey of cinema leaders led tp the general acknowledge- ment that this mehtod was the most advantageous form of talking pictures. And as a monument to Mr, Fox’s inita- tive, there has risen recently in Beverly Hills Movietone City, valued at §10,- 000,000 and comprising eight sound- proof stages, the first to be especially designed for audible films. Mr. Fox's credo may be summed up in the words which he spoke at the opening of the new Fox Theater in Washington, D. C., typical of the lux- urlous 5,000-seat houses which has been Opened in Brooklyn, Detroit and St. Louis, and which are to be followed by similar de luxe theaters in Phila- delphia, San Francisco, Newark and other key centers. Mr. Fox said then: “The business of making pictures is unlike anything else, for it is at once ah industry and an art.

AMPA, Fla., March 16.—Two lusty doubles by Buddie Myer and Joe Cronin, broke up the ball game in the ninth inning here today and gave the Nationals,a 7-to-6 victory verdict over the Boston Braves. None was out when first Myer and then Cronin did their bit. The latter tried to sacrifice twice and then, being forced to hit, drove the ball all the way out of the field. Had he run it out, he’'would have been credited with a home run and the National’s total increased a run, but he stopped at second and so the blow only goes as a two-base in the book.

Ill., March 16 (A.P.).— Climaxing six record-breaking per- formances, Tommy Warne, black- haired youth from Kokomo, Ind., soared to a new world’s indoor pole vault. record in the University of [{lli- nois relay carnival tonight. Warne, cOmpeting under the colors of Northwestern University, pulled him- self over the bar at a height of 13 feet, ib, inches, eclipsing the performance f Henry. Canby, of Iowa, who cleared 13 feet, 7% inches in the Western Con- ference indoor championships at Towa City a week ago. arne’s mark was made off a dirt floor and is distinct from the record of 14, feet, 1 inch made by Sakin Carr, Yale vaulter, off a board floor. Warne Barely Misses Record With Bar at 14 Feet 2 Inches. After Warne made his record smash- ing leap, he vainly tried to shatter Carr’s mark. The bar was raised to 14 feet 2 inches, an inch higher than the height Carr cleared.. Warne made three attempts to clear it. He came within an eyelash of doing it on his third attempt, but his pole knocked the cross bar off and his final effort resulted in failure. The record smashing started this aft- ernoon.

Guy Cantrell and Melburn Simons, whom Judge Landis has declared free agents, were in the Washington iine- up and performed capably. Besides Cantrell, Bob Burke and = Ad Liska hurled for the Nats, while Ed Brandt, a southpaw, and Bruce Cunningham di- vided the Braves’ mound duties. Cantrell Unsteady After First Three Scoreless Innings. The fielding was shoddy on both sides, but this fact simply added to the interest of the game. It was a tight bell game for the first three innings, } with the Nats making the only threat in the second, when Bluege and Hayes both singled, but were left. The Braves ha. heen easy for Cantrell, but they rallied and scored twice in round four. Two bases on balls, with Harper's single—a high fly which Bluege mis- judged—separating them, filled the sacks with none out. ©ne scored on Farrell's single off Cantrell’s bare hand and the other trotted across the plate when the “luege-to-Hayes-to-Judge combination failed to turn Clark’s roller into a double play. Collins fouled to Tate and the third out was turned in when Clark started for second and, or Tate’s throw, Bell tried to sneak home from third. Hayes’ nice return peg nailed him. The Nats redeemed one of these runs in their half. They should have done better, for Barnes’ single, Clark’s error on Myer’s looper and a pass to Bluege packed the aisles, with none _ out. Barnes tallied when Judge's grounder was turned into a force play at second, and Hayes then hit into a twin killing. The latter ran like a snail, being the second victim despite the fact that Ma- guire fumbled the ball before starting the play. Myer was crossing the plate at the time with the tying run. Simons Loses Ball in Sun With Bases Filled; Two Score. Both teams were up and doing in the fifth with the Nats doing more. After Brandt's opening double—his greeting to Pitcher Burke—and Ma- guire’s single had netted an alien run, the American Leaguers tied the score at 3-all, Singles by Tate, Burke and Simons were the ingredients of one of these tallies and the second was scored when Farrell contributed an’ error and Myer shot a sacrifice fly to left. Judge fanned to end the frame with all of the sacks populated. Simons picked out a bad time to lose @& ball in the sun in the sixth and, as Navy Boxers Finish Season Without Loss Annapolis, Md., March 16.-— Naval Academy boxers added the University of Pennsylvania to their list of victims here today in a match featured by the middleweight bout between the Navy captain, Ricketts, and Horne, of the Red and Blue, which Referee Hayes, of Philadelphia, finally called a draw after the judges failed to agree on a decision in the three reguier rounds and on? extra round.

Slugfest New York, March 16 (U.P.).—Jimmy McLarnin, hard-hitting Irishman, of Vancouver, British Columbia, will at- tempt to square accounts with Ray Miller, another slugger, in Madison Square Garden Friday night. Although the fight still is six days away. a full house is assured and tick- ets are scarcer than usual. Miller is known to Néw York fans as “the man who stopped McLarnin,” and his scheduled appearance was greeted with a rush for seats. McLarnin, generally regarded as one of the best punchers at his weight in the game, fought ¥liller in Detroit last November. In the first round Miller stuck a fist in Jimmy's face and opened a gash over his eye. The in- jury did not appear serious at first, but the cut deepened as the fight pro- gressed and McLarnin’s seconds, unable to stop the flow of blood, tossed in the towel, conceding Miller a_ technical knockout. Fight addicts are expecting a slug- fest Friday night, and that is the main reccon for the early rush of seats. 10 0—f) The Yanks missed the _§ hitting strength of Lazzeri, who was unable to 2! play because of a cold.

Liska faced the Braves in the sev~- enth and they scored a ruh without the need of a hit. With! one out, Hayes’ ¢rror gave Sisler a life and George immediately stole second. He reached third when Bool’s peg of Har- >| per’s topped one was late and counted while Liska was killing Bel] at first. The Nats equalized in their Malf, mol'- ing a tally from singles by Myer and Cronin and Gooch’s sacrifice fly. After the Braves had rej benefits from a pass in t] the Nata knotted the coun two errors helping them do one down, Bool singled thr ‘i box and he advanced & base on ‘errors by Harper and serch Simons’ sacrifice fly. +4 miles: purse, $1. one olds pane * ntaes 3 *Orato " 108} 9° 4 cola Bill 106/10 *Well Serna 5 *Bun 103/11 Bor’gh Monger. 107 PE *Shasta Belle. 99 a fur- long; purse, $1. 600. claiming; 3-year- olds and upward. 7 Salutation .... 1s 1408 for 109! 28 *Arvilla 4 o Hor 10811 15 eGiibert "Cook: *apprentice estos claimed.

ZLORIDA. NATS’ STARS TAKE FIELD TODAY Goslin, Judge, Hadley, Marberry, Braxton to Be in Line-Up. Special to The Wasliington Post. AMPA, Fla., March 16.—The Na- tionals will celebrate St. Patrick's Day tomorrow with practically their reguiar team starting against the Braves in the final 1929. clash. Goose Goslin will be seen in left field and Joe Judge on first, while Garland Braxton, Fred Marberry and Irving Hadley, three of Johnson’s “Big Four” pitching steff, will do the mound duties. All of the other regulars except Catcher Muddy Ruel already have made their debuts and likely will see action. With good weather predicted, one of the largest crowds of the season ig ex- pected to turn out, as George Sisler, with the Nats last year, hag many friends here, while Lance Richbourg, right fielder, who once was the prop- erty of the’ Washington Club, a Florida boy, who formerly coached the State University team. Manager Johnson plans to extend the length of the shifts of his pitchers in next week’s games. His team idlés un- til Thursday when the Brooklyn Dodg- ers will be played at Clearwater, but after that it is just one game after another until, the Nationals pull up stakes here the night of April 3 and start for home. Curves and More Speed are Now Expected of Hurlers. With the curve ball flingers now be- ing allowed to use their stuff, and the fast ball hurlers speeding up, contests more resembling baseball games may be looked for. Johnson realizes that it is asking too much of a pitcher to work only three innings in training and then suddenly to be expected to go the route, when the season starts, and so will gradually lengthen the term of his flingers. All are in fine shape and at the Clearwater game Thursday prob- ably only two will be used, one going four frames and the other five. Because of the diamond being heavy as a result of last night’s rain, no prac- tice was held this morning, but the atheletes were ordered to eat lunch early and be on hand promptly at 10 o’clock, when those not scheduled to play in the game were given their regu- lar course of work. Bolton Is Natural Hitter, He Shows in Workout. Cliff Bolton, the little catcher who was so late reporting, gave evidence in the batting drill that he is a natural hitter. He takes a good cut at the ball and is stockily built enough to clout it long distances, Spencer Harris, whose outfield hopes were handicapped by illness, also ap- pears to have regained his strength, and he was covering acres of ground afield and hitting high, wide and hand- some in the wand drill. Goslin is not yet cutting loose with his arm, but he is gradually adding distance to his pegs, and there is hardly &@ doubt but what he will be throwing as accurately and far as ever, by the time the starting gong rings. Clyde Milan is now starting serious work trying to teach the fine art of stealing to some of the Nats who need it. He confined himself to lecturing in the drill before the game, impressing upon his scholars—Myer Bluege, West, Hayes and Barnes—the importance of a fast start. “Swing around on the ball of your right foot,” he told them, “and study the motion of the pitcher. Un- less you cheat him out of a full step you haven’t a chance to make it un- less the catcher pegs badly.” Actual lessons in the sliding pit are scheduled to start next week. With his contractual argument with President Clark Griffith settled, Pitcher Sad Sam Jones is no longer sad; in fact, the veteran is showing all kinds of pep and is mighty serious in his efforts to get the old soup bone to functioning properly. _He is doing little throwing, spending most of the time in drills, building up his general condition. Jones Taking Work Seriously, But Easily at Start. Now that Jones is in the fold, only Goslin remains out, and neither he nor President Griffith are hurrying get- ting together. The Nats’ owner prob- ably is resting up from the Jones bat- tle before tackling the Goose. Shortstop Joe Cronin, who looked mighty good in the Nats’ infield last year, is going at even a faster clip this season. Not only is he a flash afield but he also is hitting the ball right on the nose. He was credited with two triples in four trips to the tee at Avon Park against the Cards, and both of these drives were healthy ones. DEMPSEY IS KNOCKOUT AS A PUBLICITY MAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17. by high authorities that the sucker is never happy until he has been taken. Several years ago he shooed a sucker up to Mr. Fitzsimmons with 825,000 which the sucker wished to invest in a Dempsey-Wills prize fight. It was noth- ing but Mr. Fitzsimmons’ own lax man- agement that permitted Farry Wills and his manager to get the sucker's money, leaving Mr. Fitzsimmons practi- cally nothing. But Dempsey is patient to his friends’ errors and I think he will make another effort this year to get some money for Floyd. His Personal Magnetism Offsets Any Lack of Investment, I take it that Mr. Dempsey has now set off on a definite new career as a sandwich man of the same genus as those forlorn bums who wander up and down the cheap streets of New York wearing turtle-shell placards fore and aft proclaiming the best 25-cent meal in town at Max’s Busy Bee Restaurant or astonishing savings in gent’s ready- to-wear at Guinsberg’s basement bar- gain bazaar. He will make no importart invest- ments himself, but will stir around pub- licly in the publicity offices cf various enterprises, such as prize fights, horse races, dog races, and gambling casinos, drawing trade by his own magnetism, which is quite a lure, as I have had an opportunity to observe this winter. He Gives Dollar’s Worth of Publicity for Every Dollar. His employers need never complain that the boy lies down on the job. In Florida he made one trip clear across the State to take part in some public doings in Tampa, then made another trip to Palm Beach to clown a boxing beut with Babe Ruth all in the inter- est of the gate cong of the Sharkey- Stribling fight, or what you w‘il, end of the allied rackets under the some gen- eral management. He gives a dollar’s worth of publicity for a dollar, he has a distinctive way with crowds and be- fore he is through he will raise the humble profession of those who walk the pavements ‘n sandwich boards to dignity and honor, So in the course of the next few years it will be quite interesting to watch and compare the course of his after career with that of Mr. Tunney. I think he will do as well in his !ine as M: ‘Tunney ‘will in bis future work, if any. By.

This means, of course, that ary clu“ which does not adopt the pro- posed system may suffer punishment therefor. ele ‘o That there is need for a uniform plan of handicapping. goes without saying. Inquiry among the various clubs shaws- that each organization has its own no- tion of handicapping. At the Waésh- ington Golf:eampd Country Club an al- lowance of three-quarters betwecn the best average score and the par of the course, which is 70, is made. At the Indian Spring Club the handicap is computed ‘by taking 80 per. cent of the difference be- tween the scores and par.. Dr. Bruce committee at the Congressional Club, states that while the Calkins system is followed as far ag.possible, there is an allowance of one stroke for every five strokes that the average. of the player’s five best scores is above par. Under this four-fifths arrangement a player whose best average is 92, the par of the course being 72, and the difference being 20, is given four strokes and his handicap is placed at 16. It is evident, therefore, that if the new constitution is adopted as framed, the golf committee handicappers will have some work if they are going to bring all the clubs into the same align- ment. It is not an impossible task, of course, and when accomplished, as it will have to be under the new-constitu- tion, it should result in the equity which is sought. Proposed System Has Other |Features Which May Disturb. There are other features of the Cal- kins system, if that plan is to be lit- erally followed, which may seriously ‘disturb present arrangements. For in- stance, the Calkins table allows handi- caps up to 27. In the Chevy Chase Club the highest handicap allowed is 18, while in the Columbia Club 24 is the highest. In the Town and Country Club there are handicaps of 30, and in the Congressional the allowance runs up to 36. If the Calkins table is to be made arbitrary, all these clubs will have to change their present methods. At the Chevy Chase Club, where the par is 69, a player must average 88 under the Calkins system to receive a handicap of 18, but the same system allows a handicap of 27 to the player who aver- ages 100. Will one club be willing to raise its handicaps to 27 and another club be willing to reduce them to that figure? is adopted, all golf committee officials who are entrusted with the difficult task of handicapping will agree. The handicapper is instruc’.d that “if you know nothing whatever about a player, you should not give him a handicap. No one has any inherent right to a handicap. All players, theoretically, should start at scratch; the burden of proof is always on the player to show that he is entitled to a handicap.” And it is added that if players want ratings “they can obtain them by furnishing you with data rom which to compute them.” skill, has written to this column stat- ing that’he was greatly impressed last Sunday when he read that a duffers’ tournament would be held next fall on the course of' the Congressional Coun- try Club.. and was especially pleased with © verses concerning the event, “which,” he: says, “I cut out and kept in my pocketbook.” ‘More than this; he offers a tropliy worth @50,as one of the prizes for the tournament on condition that his -ame SL.all not be made pubiic. This is cer- tainly an attractive target at which the duffers can shoot.

Mexican Army Invades Battle With Par. The balmy spring weather last Sun- day resulted in an invasion of the Ban- nockburn hills. During the forenoon numerous small detachments ventured forth, here and there sniping a divot and otherwise clearing the path for the major movement planned for later in the day. At exactly 11:59 a. m. William L. Pen- dergast, otherwise known as “Bill” and former club champion, fired the initia] shot from the first tee, his ball sailing straight and true down the fairway. Surrounding him were an aggregation of golfers, looking like the Mexican army. One by one they drove—Norman J. Hall, who hits a ball from the port side; Freq Byrne, Gordon Stupp, Harry Whalen, Eugene Paravano, George C. Billard and Leo F. Pass. The forward march was on. Each of the eight gen- erals was accompanied by a squad of one orderly to carry the implements of war, so that when the force of six- teen meandered down the fairway it looked as if an attack menaced the peaceful inhabitants of Glen Echo on the other side of the Conduit road. High stakes were involved—two pit : for carry over syndicates, double for birdies and a dollar Nassau all around.

For this city is awaiting with eagerness ite brief Metropolitan season next month, for — the advance sale has been excel- On Tuesday the Symphonic Band of the Royal Beigian Guards will give its first American concert at the Metro- politan Opera House for the benefit of the Reconstruction Hospital. On ar- rival the band is to be met Bae Bel- gian Ambassador, Prince bert de Ligne, while an honorary committee of distinguished persons includes the ish Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, and | orp the Canadian Minister, Vincent Maseey. This visiting band, which is soon to celebrate its 100th anniversary, will play in Washington during its tour. The organization is making the tour by special jon of King Albert and the Belgian military authorities. Sociology and music are combined in the family of Gilbert Ross, the talented young American violinist, who is the son of Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross, head of the department of sociology at the University of Wisconsin and author of authoritative books. ‘The musical ability of Mr. Ross was mahifested at so early an age, however, that there was never any doubt that fate had deter- mined him to be an artist rather than a scientist. His debut as a violinist took place in Berlin a month before his nineteenth birthday, and before he had attained his majority he was recog- nized on two continents as a most promising artist. He is today only twenty-five, and has already won an enviable reputation. Two of Washington’s young worth- while musicians, Miss Minna Niemann, planist, and George Beuchler, barytone, will present the Twilight Hour. Musi- cale today at the Congressional Country Club at & o’clock. Katherine Hill Rawls will be the accompanist for Mr. Beuch- ler. Ancient New World music reaching back through the ages thousands of years to the folklore of the Incas and Mayans will be played by the United States Army Band at the International Exposition to open in Seville, Spain, on May 7. The ordgreda of the Army Band at Seville will include many numbers by composers from the United States 25 well as those from Latin American countries. Many of the age-old numbers from the original io the United States Army the ori as the Un Band for three years has been coi- letting from Latin-American countries band arrangements in manuscript of the leading compositions by native composers, These arrangements have been loaned and after having been cop- fed have been returned. In this way, according to Capt. William J. Stannard. leader of the Army Band, a most unique repertoire of compositions from other American lands have been acquired. Thirty complete programs made up of music from the New World will be played by the Army Band at the expo- sition. It is expected that the band will sail some time in May for Seville, Capt. Curtis D.

Staunton, Va., March 16.—After de- liberating 57 minutes, a jury in Augusta Circuit Court here today returned a verdict of $250 in the $1,000 damage suit of Phyllis Terrell, 11 years old, against Guy K. Stump, principal of the Wenonah Grammdr School in Waynesboro. The child; through her father, alleged that the principal was guilty of immoderation and of “crue! and unusual” treatment when he whipped her. | Couns@l for Stump modved that the verdict be set aside, one claim being that one of the Court's instructions was prejudicial to the cause of the defendant. Judge Joseph A. Glasgow took the petition under advisement, Many witnesses from Waynesboro | testified during the trial The switch /sentence, which the principal said he used was in court, ment of punishment used on her was not the one the defendant produced. Stump testified that the Terrell girl Was repeatedly late in returning ‘to school after the 30-minute noon recess, that she brought no excuse, and that, under the rules, the only thing he could do was to suspend the child or whip her. He said he told the child that she had the privilege of returning home or remaining at school and being a She remained and was i The suit is the second court action growing out of the whipping. Just after it happened, the girl’s father ac- costed Stump, asked the principal if he had whipped his daughter, and when the principal replied in the af- firmative, the father struck him. The latter had Terrell summoned before a magistrate’s court for assault, and Ter- rell was given a small fine and jail was suspended.

Far from the spreading chestnut tree The city’s smithies stand; The smith,:a sorrowing man is he, No work comes to his hand. Washington’s 23 blacksmiths—yes, there are still that many in business in the city—have cause for sorrow. The inroads of the automobile have been rapid and sure; garages have taken their place in servicing the mo- tive power of the city. Most of the blacksmiths in the Dis- trict are elderly men. They learned their trade when they were young, and it slipped from under them through no fault of theirs. Blacksmiths they are, they will be until they or the last horse shall have gone from the earth. Their shops are shadows of the bus- tling places they were a generation ago. The shops are still here, but the bustle went out about the time bustles ceased to be the fashion. Washington's blacksmiths are unani- mous on one point. “There’s nothing to this business any more,” they say. If they could be got to talk at any length, they could give many lessons in economics and the changing order of things. But they are taciturn men. Possibly they miss the neighbors who used to sit in the door in the old days and slap lazily at too persistent flies and settled the destinies of the Nation while their teams were being shod. Possibly their ears, long used 10 the ring of the anvil, ache under the strange silence which has fallen upon them. Possibly their eyes, dimmed by years of peering into the flaming in| forge, see in the stranger a critic and a curiosity seeker. Going Out of Business. At least one of them, Patrick Glea- son, 4415 M street northwest, who has shod horses, mended wagons and buggies, and made the many gadgets that only blacksmiths can make, for 65 years, is go out of business. His son, Jeremiah Gleason, who in recent years has done most of the work around the little shop beside the Po- tomac, will be unable to keep up the work. The land on which the shop is ‘situated is needed for a new road, and business doesn’t warrant the erection of a new shop. The passing of Gleason’s shop spells near disaster. to John Lynch, 70-year- old farmer, who lives at the District line, not so far away. ‘I don’t know where I'll get my horse shod after Pat quits,” he said. “He’s been doing my blacksmith work for 55 years now, and there's no other shop around these parts. “Go over td the Southeast? No, son, that’s too far for me, and, anyhow, there’s too many automobiles. Oh, thanks, I came away this morning without my tobacco. “Yessir, I been knowing Pat Gleason since he came up here after the war. What's that? Yes, the Civil War. He was a Southern Soldier; come from somewhere in Virginia. “He's been taking care of my black- smith work ever since he set up in business here 55 years ago. I don’t know what I’ll do when he quits.” Refuse to Repair Autos, In the southeast section of the city, the blacksmiths are hardly more hope- ful. John J. Kane, 1130 W street southeast, who has labored at the same place for 33 years, refuses to make a garage of. his blacksmith shop. Auto- mobile repairing, he says, is too dirty. “IT never did any horseshoeing before the War,” he declared, “my helpers al- ways did that. But I don’t get enough work to hire help any more, so I picked it up, and everybody says I do a good ob. ; “In the old days I made carriages and wagons, but that stopped long ago. Then I used to shoe al] the Fire De- partment ‘horses over here and do all their repair work. I remember I made a fine buggy once for the chief. “Oh yes, I do the work for the police over here, but there’s not much of that now. As a matter of fact, lots of people still keep horses, but they're afraid to take them out on the road.” James T. Slaughter, colored, who has operated a shop at 1135 Sumner road southeast, for seventeen years, pointed with pride to the results of his early years in the profession. But the amen to his remerks was a sigh. “I’m not = in this work any more,” he said. $100 Profit Now $25. “I did well ir my trade,” he contin- ued. “There was .. time when I hired two men to help me and cleared $75 to $100 a week profit. I bought this land here and bullt my house and raised a family of seven childrerf. . “But it’s not that way any more. Nowadays I make about $20 or $25 a week, and that’s not enough for a man who's been making four times that much.” Some among the city’s blacksmiths have yielded to the pressure of the new age. You visit their shops and you find at stir and much activity. ut ‘~stead of horses waiting to be shod you find battered automobiles, devoid of “enders, axles twisted, or showing other results of encounters upon the highwajs and streets. Where the forge once roared, you hear the hum of the weld torch; where the anvil rang in the happy past, now a heavy hammer thumps dully on the dented side of a motor car. e smith h..oself has discarded his split leather Q hands Cette, ~ é } ne c] ut JOHN J. KANE, who refuses to convert ‘his black- smith shop at 1130 W street gouth- east, into @ garage because he says, “automobile repairing is too dirty.” fA STIPLES GETS FREEDOM ON BON Burlingame Witness?

Scurrying pedestrians trying to flee safely from the mad stampede! Corner cutting, light-jumping. raucofisly bellowing taxicabs! Careening commercial ve- hicles! Lumbering trucks pursuing their lethargic way down the middle of the thoroughfare! Here is a picture of Washington’s weird traffic. Obviously, it is over- drawn. Overdrawn as it is, however, there are many who think that it represents with a measure of accuracy what con- ditions may become if nothing is done to check the situation that prevails when Washington dashes wildly to work in the morning and home in the evening, especially when warmer weather augments the traffic tide by thousands of cars. Season of Mishaps. Once again, it is pointed out, Wash- ington stands on the threshold-of the season when thousands of strangers pour into the city in automobiles. Like- wise, it is facing the period when hun- dreds acquire their first cars and vir- tually all owners begin to use them on the widest possible scale. The swelling traffic stream, safety advocates say, must be kept within bounds, and the time to start, they insist, is before it breaks over the bar- riers of intelligence and the traffic reg- ulations. Spring and summer are the seasons most fruitful in traffic mishaps. At all hours of the day and night streets and highways carry a heavier burden of motor and pedestrian traffic. The stage, statistics reveal, is set for the flight of safety. Not only in Washing- ton is this true but in all other mu- nicipalities throughout the country. En- forcement of traffic regulations becomes more difficult and the malicious viola- tor of the law runs rampant, counting upon the greater volume of traffic to hide his depredations from those who would punish him. Washington's situation, it is recog~ nized by those who have taken stock of its traffic terrors in the past, is con- siderably complicated. The seat of the National Government, it draws from all parts of the country tens of thousands of sightseers annu- ally. The first h tide of the stream the pours into the Capital during the spring and summer season will come at Easter, less than two weeks away. After that the cherry blossoms will prove an irresistible lure to thousands in the surrounding country and from more re- mote places. Procession of Tourists, From then on there will be a con- stant procession of tourist motorists to glory in the National Capital’s archi- tectural, historic and other treasures. Aware of the situation developing, safety advocates are conscious of the need for stemming the tide of terrorism already evident in the city’s traffic as spring effaces conditions that arbi- trarily compel safety jn cold weather, when street surfaces are treacherous. Among the various elements that com- pose the traffic stream they see many @ practice fo which a summary halt should be called before complications and continuous law violations tend to put the situation beyond control. Less vigorous checking, probably less necessary, during the last few months has indicated to the willful and mali- cious violator of the fundamental rules of safety that he can “get by” unpe- nalized, it is pointed owt. Whether he drives a carrier bus, a sightseeing bus, a commercial vehicle, a private passen- ger car or a heavy truck, this type of driver has begun to take advantage of the prevailing situation. He is charged with speeding reck- lessly, racing the automatic signal lights, cutting corners, driving far be- yond the center of the thoroughfare, ignoring stop signs, pirating the right- of-way of the law-abiding motorists, constant intimidation of the timid and new drivers, flagrantly disregarding the rules for pedestrian safety, and gener- ally conducting himself dangerously and defiantly. Minority Is Blamed. Not only does the cause of safety suffer at the hands of this type of driver, but also it is affected serious by those who are violators of the traf- fic regulations through ignorance, made the worse in many cases by indifference. Annually these two types of drivers are generally known to give Washing- ton’s traffic an unhealthy and unsavory reputation with visitors. Many who come here in their own cars, after a brief taste of the tempestuous traffic that ebbs and flows over the streets of the National Capital, find the use of their cars distinctly dangerous and dis- tasteful. It is not contended that this impres- sion of Washington driving is due to the conduct of a majorty, but rather of 'a small, but tremendously conspicuous minority whose misdeeds and misde- meanors stand out in bold relief. This is the group, evident in every element of traffic here, that proponents of safe, sane, smooth, and sensible driving would see quelled by vigorous enforcement of the regulations, :bul- | warked by a vigilant public opinion. Two $10 Bills Made of One, Bring Four-Year Jail Term after cleverly severing the fronts and backs of a $10 and a $1 bill and put- ting the parts together so as to re- semble two 610 bills, Walter Phillips, colored, was sentenced to serve four years in prison and fined $500 by Jus- tice Prederick L.

Clement Cox and Paul Jones and charged with passing the split money on a taxicab d*jiver and a newspaper vender. John Slye. a secret service operative. was called in on the case and after a lengthy investi- gation the process of “splitting” the money was discovered. But the prosecution, conducted by Convicted of passing “split” money, | Assistant District Attorney Joseph V. | Connolly. refused to reveal the process in court on the ground it might be communicated to others and the rare “split” money cases might multiply. Throughout the trial, T. Morris Wamp- ler, defense attorney, contended the process of “splitting” charged against Phillips should be revealed since the defendant denied the accusation, Officials of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing were called and the money was iderftified as parts of legal tender, which had been “split.” but some of the authorities admitted they did not know a process in which bills could be severed. An appeal fof the conviction was noted and Phillips’ bond was raised from $2,000 to $3,500 pending disposi- tion of the case by the District Court of Appeals.

The captain filed suit for an injunc- tion to restrain the War Department from withholding his pay to -over an alleged shortage in accounts. In filing the an- swer, United States Attorney Leo A.

THE NATION'S OIL. The public approval of President Hoover’s move to conserve the national petroleum supply should be backed up by an unmistakable warning to Congress that attempts ‘to break down the new policy will meet with popular retribution. An attempt to force the Government to lease public lands for oil exploration will be.made. It is for the people to decide whether or not they will hold their servants in Congress to account. ’ At present the law authorizes but does not compel the Secretary of the - Interior to grant permits and -make - Jeases. The exploiters will try to make the granting of permits and leases compulsory. Mr. Hoover announces ‘that about 20,000 permits to explore for oil are now outstanding. The permits require the holders to drill in definite stages under time limits. No doubt, thousands of abe speculators hold permits.and have not complied with the drilling requirements. Secretary Wilbur is te overhaul all these. cases, and: probably many permits will be canceled ‘for nonperformance. | It would not: be ‘surprising to see a bold “move in Congress to stay the hand of the Secretary of the Interior in favor of corporations that will resist the can- : cellation of their speculative permits. ernment’s oil lands A showdown is in sight. The Gov- are. immensely valuable. Millions of dollars may be expended in an attempt to deliver these lands into the hands of private interests. President Hoover stands for the protec- tion of the public interest against private greed that would drain the country of its rich resource. If a struggle is coming in Congress much will depend upon the promptness.and unanimity of the people in supporting the President. Mr. Hoover refutes the statement that the people of the West object to conserva- tion of oil resources. They should promptly make it known that he is right in order that their representatives in ss shal] take the hint and turn a deaf ear to the exploiting interests that will endeavor to push through legisla- tionWhat would tie the hands of the President. Under the vigilant eye of the Presi- _ dent there is no danger that the Nation’s and ingenious legislation. oil resources will be dissipated under existing laws. The danger lies in new An attempt will be made to take away the Govern- _‘ment’s oil by warrant of law. Against this attempt, under whatever guise it is made, the people should stand solidly behind their President. DIPLOMATS’ LIQUOR. The Police Department makes a _ blunder when it attempts to interfere with the transport of intoxicating liquor belonging to foreign envoys. It will be noted that the prohibition enforcement bed bureau was not a party to the arrest of _ the truck driver who conveyed liquor from Baltimore to the Siamese Legation. The precedents establishing the immu- nity of foreign envoys and their servants are 50 well established, and the law which penalizes American officers for the invasion of diplomatic rights is so - clear, that the Police Department merely ” — involves itself in trouble when ‘it goes It may be that the truck driver will be | prosecuted on the ground that he was 1 « ‘ = > “ \ oe - w~ . : a ‘ 2 . ae ae, * - 2 ~ “a a 284 ee i + ‘ - @ ay a ‘professor at Columbia University, New: York, who, having made a survey of the dn , Mes kA hee : oo ends, apart altogether from the facility. - of amassing wealth. Dr. Clark enters highly debatable ground when he describes as the “real educational criminals” those high-school teachers who encourage their students to go to college, for he is running counter to what has hitherto been a firmly estab- lished American principle. He _ gets ‘deeper into the morass when he advo- cates State control to regulate the nums ber of persons training for each profes sion, on the plea that such action woul steady wages and not jeopardize those already established. One would have thought that the logical thing to do, on the strength of his economic findings; would be to abolish the institutions of the higher learning, but he magnani- mously states that he is “not in favor of junking the colleges,” but would rely on the regulation of their activities by the State. All these investigations and surveys may eventually lead somewhere, but, for the present at least, they are a disturbing influence, and, to the outsider, seem to make confusion worse confounded in the wide field of education. | 3 Sy Se Fa hh ee a See ; * t ' ee tee =) a paras A FA eae . oa apes ty Pica aXe ahaa age Fr se yer. en ate ee 2 mae oe ree aes a + tg s ny a ora F ie hte MG oe eee es {Le ewe, | sae tata oe Oo es 4 PS NSP a eis 9 Ry he es ae a ODP ST Oe aR oe Neo £5 oe eee eS > 8 ces, iy ae ate i ge a eae CLOT REY Wait a ES ORR OT ce Ry CRY!

Why, the heroes of the past went through more excitement and danger, where they had to think and act quick- ly than ts possible at this stage of ex- istence. Only theirs was real, not worked up by propaganda and cheap sensation. A man fought wild Indians at his very doorstep, not for a thrill, but. because he was defending his altar and his fire.

Character Education Declared to Be Best Method to Lift Up Ne- glected Children of Country and Save Them From Careers of Crime—Already Made Part of States. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: It is with great satisfaction indeed that I read the announcement of your ar- ticles on juvenile crime. It certainly is true that the parents r . not earn- est and persuasive in the character education of their children at home, and an appeal to them is certainly ap- propriate. I want you to know that the leading educators of the nation are in favor of character education of all children tn all the schools throughout the entire 48 States, and a very ‘horough research has been made as to materials and methods. We have ut about $150,000 on this research and it has eventuated in the five-point plan, which is al- ready used extensively and which gets results in the lives of the children. It is expected that the churches will redouble their efforte to succeed in religious education and that parents in thelr homes will cooperate with both the school character education and the church religious education. But the fact is that not more than 50 per cent of parents can possibly be aroused to take earnest interest in the, bringing up of their children. At least 50 per cent of the children of the Nation are getting a poor bringing up in their homes. Their parents are shiftless, neglectful, in many ways immoral and of weak influence. This fact means that about 13,000,000 children are grow- ing up constantly under a very un- satisfactory home influence. But there is no way by which the States and the Nation can compel these parents to give a good character education to their } children, and there is no possibility of successful appeal to these neglectful parents. They have not intelligence and character enough to respond. Therefore, the educators of the Na- tion see clearly that the only way by which this neglected half of the chil- dren of the Nation can be given char- acter education is through the schools. These children do not go to Sunday school, and only a few are members of child welfare. institutions. Undoubt- edly the great majority of criminals come from these homes in which char- acter education is neglected, and which it ia impossible to reform.

In particular a single sentence to- ward the end seems to express his con- clusion of the futility of the courses pursued in our schools: “Two years of study in the average collegd@is less than equivalent to actual contact with a language during two weeks’ residence in a foreign country.” That is, we suppose, as a medium of ¢ommunica- tion, since the veriest dunce could hardly fail to acquiré a fonsiderable reading ability of easy literature in the some 75 weeks of two | years; while one plunge into the gabbi¢-babble of a for- eign land would have done little more than recover from the despgir generally attending that experience. | How many time have teachers Nad to meet the excuse of lazy pupils: “Ok, if I ever need this language, I'll go where they speak it.” Whereupon they have been assured that should they ever experi- ence that icy bath, home, sweet, sweet home will seem preferable to paradise. This is not saying that our time spent on language is 41] that it should be—far from it—but the eyen respect- any other than mother tongue, is far mare difficult than one imagiries in advance. In a neighboring city there is a bookstore whose basement is devoted to second-hand books afranged in classes, where will be found! some hun- dred “methods” for acquiring foreign languages by “the easiest and natural method.” The ingenulty displayed ex- ceeds belief; yet each advances the claim of being the one and only “na- tural” method! All the same, the most are hag-beens, unused and forgotten. What should this greatly abused, unl- versally appropriated term mean? Where every adult has had the experience of learning a language, it would seem there must be agreement respecting the process, but the fact ig far other. Our conviction is, that the “natural” way is the one we have all used, whether Pnglish, Cho¢taw, Hebrew or Chinese, the mother tongue. And a critical study will show that four organs, and only four, are involved, and in this order: ear, tongue, eyé, hand. In two years the mind of the child begins to make sense of the family babble, and the bones of the inner ear séem to con- vey their vi rations to the adjacent roots of the tongue. Our term “deaf- mute” is tautology, since every deaf child is fnevitably diumb.; Next the primer invokes the aid of the eye, though the vast majority of the race never reach this stage. Lastly, the hand finishes the course. What but this, then, can be ‘tthe “natural” method? Hence: ( 1. Proceed from the known to the un- known: from mother tongue) out. 2. Follow nature: the mother way. 3. Festina lente: hadten siowly. 4. Repititio est mater studiorum: practice makes perfect. 5.

EE s ? al Pocket Veto by President Is Dis- cussed, Especially Meaning of the Word “Adjournment” in the Long Session of Congress—Prec- edent for Veto Found itu Early Rules of Congress Following Britsh System. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: In your editorial »n Monday morning on the pocket veto question, you inad- vertently stressed the whole question on the meaning of the word “adjourn- The significant wording of the Constitution is not “adjournament,” but “adjou:nment that prevents its return,” referring to a bill that has passed Congress later than ten days prior to adjournment of the long ses- sion and is neither cigned nor vetoed. It has been overlooked that the precedents of presidential pocket ve- toes all had their origin in rules of the Senate and House, whereunder, follow- ment.” ing the British system, each session of vongress was the complete entity that an entire Congress now is. In other words under the rules of Congress in force until 1848, if the House of Repre- sentatives passed a bill in the long session and the Senate didnot act on it in the long session, then when the second or short session assembled, the House had to pass the bill over again at the second session before the bill could be acted « by the. Senate, and vico versa. So far was each session a complete entity that until 1818 if a cummittee of either house of Congress reported a bill at the first or long session and the report was not acted on at that session, the bill could not be called up until another report was made by the committee during the sec- ond session also. Under such rules it would be a vain and futile thing to send a veto mes- sage to Congress after the first session had ended, because each house, by its rules, had “prevented” return of the bill and action on the veto by adjourn- ing the session just as now, “final ad- journment” of the Congress, “prevents” return of a veto, and such a return would be a vain and futile thing. ee Turns in Traffic System Are De- fended—Wide Streets in Capi- tal Make Present Arrangement Best. Possessed by Any City in the Country—Who Backs Sharp- shooters? Writer Asks. To the Editor of The Post—4Sir: Just who prompts this sharpshooting at the best traffic system this town ever had? There seems to be a bit of it creeping into print now and then. I have yet to see anybody offer any- thing better. The only argument I find is it slows the rush about anyway? The kickers are those who slip across the red light whenever they see no cross traffic tn sight. Too bad a policeman can not be on hand to aee all the violations in one day. Those are the boys who are for prohibition for the other fellow, It seems to mé the sniping ts backed by somebody who did not get the con- tract for the present lighting fixtures.

It would be a fine mess if the turning traffic all stopped In the middie of the gtreet to make the turn when the light changes.

HE President and Mrs. Hoover are with- ff out any of the members of their family for the first time since they have been in the White House, after having had quite a house Their younger son, Mr. Allan Hoover, returned ten days ago to his studies at Stan- ford University in California, having come on Mr. and Mrs. Her- bert Hoover, jr., accompanied by their two children, Peggy Ann and Herbert Hoover 3d, started on Friday afternoon for their fu- ture home at Los Angeles, so there must be quite a gap in the President’s family. The first formal function at the Executive Mansion in this administration was held on Monday afternoon, when the President and Mrs. Hoover received members of the Diplo- atthe ame ‘matic Corps, as is the usual custom after an inauguration. The embassies were all rep- resented with the exception of Argentina, whch country has no ambassador at present. Ali of the ministers, who were in town also were present, with their wives, and the next ranking officials of the embassies and legations likewise attended the reception. It has been said that the Vice President, Mr. Charles Curtis, who has been visiting in Florida, will also entertain after his return at a reception for members of the Diplomatic Corps. Our next Secretary of State, Mr. Henry L. Stimson, who is on his way home from the Philippines, with Mrs. Stimson, may give the same kind of a reception, so the prospects are that we will have several more large entertainments in the near future. * * a ~ N Tuesday the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, and Lady Isabella How- ard” held a reception in honor of the retiring Secretary of State and Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg. This was in the nature of a farewell party to Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg, and among the guests were the heads of missions and mem- bers of the State Department. . One of the largest entertainments of the week was the luncheon given by Secretary . Kellogg for the delegates to the commission of inquiry and conciliation of Bolivia and Paraguay. It was held at the Pan-American Union, and the ranking guest was the Am- bassador of Peru, Mr. Hernan Velarde. The other ambassadors from South America and Central America were also present, and all the members of the Cabinet. The Ambassador of Chile and Senora de ‘Davila were hosts at their usual Sunday luncheon last week, as is their custom, to entertain members of the embassy. They always have an opportunity of speaking their own language and enjoying the special food of their country on these occasions, so the Chileans eagerly look forward to these week- ly functions. Mrs. William De Witt Mitchell, wife of the Attorney General, entertained at a tea on Thursday to meet Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the Secretary of State. Her guests included the other wives of the Cabinet members who are in town. Mrs. Arthur M. Hyde, wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, was not pres- ent, as she had left the week before for Trenton, Mo., to remain until later in the spring. She was accompanied by her daugh- ter, Miss Caroline Hyde, who is continuing her studies. Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont, wife of the Secretary of Commerce, was also absent from the tea, as she is on her way _ back from Europe. HE Ambassador of Cuba and Senora de Ferrara, who have a beautiful home at Havana, usually go there at this season for a short visit. They started on Thursday, but this.year expect to remain for only ten days, so will be here again before Easter. Two ministers have just been transferred from Washington and another one has just ar- rived, making more changes than ever in the Diplomatic Corps. The Minister of Siam, Lieut. Ger.

Then the members of the legation staff en- tertained at afother dinner for him just be- fore his departure. The Minister of Guatemala and Senora de Recinos have lately returned to their country after having been in Washington for a little over a year. Senor Dr. Don Récinos will be minister of foreign affairs there. The latest foreign envoy to arrive in this country was the newly appointed Minister of Nicaragua, Senor Juan B. Sacasa, who with Mme.

The fort- mer Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Theodore Douglas Robinson, and his daugh- ter, Miss: Helen Robinson, were among the passengers, having gone abroad for about two months. They will be joined within the next week by Mrs. Robinson. Also on the Berengaria were the Commer- celal Secretary of the British Embassy, Mr. Arthur Pack, and. Mr. Radu Cretziano, the som of the Minister of Roumania.

He is on his way to Spain, after having been attached to the embassy here. | There was quite an exodus from the Capi- fal shortly after the inauguration, 4mong the senators and their families. A number of them have gone to their homes to remain until the opening of Congress for the @xtra session on April 15. | Immediately after the inauguration, on March 5, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Mon- tana, with his daughter, Miss Frances Wheeler, and his son, Mr. Richard Wheeler, left Washington, sailing for Panama, where they expect to remain for a month, | The following day Senator Daniel O. Hast- ings, of Delaware, with Mrs. Hastings and her sister, Miss Elsie Saxton, went to Wil- mington, where Senator Hastings has a home. Before returning here, they plan to motor south for a vacation. Senator John Glenn Townsend, also from Delaware, with Mrs. Townsend, went to their home at the same time, probably remaining for two or three weeks. | Senator and Mrs, David Aiken Reed, from Pennsylvania, are passing a few weeks in Italy, where they were due to arrive yester- dey, having sailed on the S. S. Roma. An- other senator who has taken a sea trip is especially Senator Hugo L. Black, who, with Mrs. Blach, is on his way to Panama. Senator and Mrs. Frederic M. Sackett have just returned from Kentucky, where they have a home in Louisville, and plan to go to Florida after a short visit to New York. Sen- ator and Mrs. George H. Moses did not go to their home in New Hampshire, but they have also gone south and are passing their time in motoring, . * e . OST of the other senators who left the M cy last week have gone home until Congress convenes again. Senator and Mrs. Charles S. Deneen went to Chicago on Wed- nesday to remain for a month. They were accompanied by their daughter, Miss Bina Day Deneen, who may return before her parents, as she expects to be a page at the R,. Congress. Senator Royal S. Copeland went to New York on Thursday, where he joined Mrs. Copeland. They both expect to visit their old home at Dexter, Mich., soon, coming back to Washington before Easter, when they will have with them their son, Mr. Royal S. Cope- land, jr., who attends Syracuse University. Senator and Mrs. Copeland wil] entertain at a dinner and dance for their son on March 30. This is always a popular season at Atlantic City, Chelsea and Ventnor, N. J., where many go to pass weeks which are usually quiet ones in the cities. So the boardwalks of those places will be thronged with visitors from now until after Easter. Senator and Mrs. Walter E. Edge,.who have a house at Ventnor, will be there until the middle of April. Two other senators who have returned home with their wives are Senator Jesse H. Metealf, of Providence, R. I., and Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina. They all will be away until the opening of Congress. Among the foreign visitors in the city last week were Countess Regis de Oliviera, a sister of the Brazillian Ambassador at the Court of St. James, who was at one time at- tached to the embassy here. Countess de Oliviera, who passes her time in Brazil and in Paris, was accompanied by Miss Nora Beaumont, of London. They were much en- tertained, having been the guests of honor at luncheons at both the British embassy and French embassy. They also were given a dinner by the Ambassador of Brazil. Mr. 5.

‘ PAINTINGS OF - MONTURIOL SHOWN HERE By ADA RAINEY. 4 ORTRAITS and paintings by Pas- ' p quale Monturiol at the Yorke Gal- ‘Jery are a vivid and brilliant rep- ' Tesentation of modern Spain. They are | timely, for the eyes of the world soon ’ will be turned toward Spain. In May - \ her two large expositions will be thrown open to the public. The paintings of , Monturiol serve as an excellent intro- * duction to arouse one’s interest in the cpeepie. For the artist is a Spaniard 3 If and paints with a first-hand | knowledge of his country and her peo- » ple, whom he interprets in a sympa- ‘thetic and entrancing manner. There ‘is the brilliant sunlight of southern ' (| Spain, where most of the scenes: and ' subjects are taken, and the dark beauty ) the women and the _ splendid physiques of the men all in a pictur- ue ensemble. i t it is in the landscapes of Montu- *riol that he excels. Many of these ‘Slandscapes are wholly imaginative, con- structed from his own mind without a model and from remembrance of the beauties of the Mediterranean shores. In ;these poetic paintings the artist is at “hig best. His color is soft and rich and “there is a deep feeling in them. In z are not so orig- drawing and strong characterization. -“La Fortuna,” “Don’' Juan” and “Don que” are strongly characterized, > The scenes of the colorful religious tpageants, the “Corpus Christi,” “The jage of the Torreador” and “In the Gold of the Setting Sun” are brilliant. ‘The painter is an artist of great talent, hich he uses effectively, especially in is smaller water colors and sketches. “Here there is much spontaniety and A painter and critic says of Montu- Friol, to which the writer also subscrsbes: “Monturiol paints with strong, sensitive his masses are heavy, his figures ving the force of sculpture. His con- of light and shadow are strong. ‘He paints with a round brush and a ‘delicate, firm touch. All this, and more, bwe learn in studying his work, but the omething more, the spirit in the life. yed, the soul, the expression of we call soul, that is his strongest “0: teristic and the greatest charm of his work.

Of Washington Mr. Moore asserted that “everybody wants to improve it, each in his or her own way. People with great original ideas insist on put- ree 4 theia over on the National Capital, too frequently the more absurd the idea the more vociferous its advocacy. “Washington now has to be saved from its friends, or those who profess to be such. Then, too, there are people engaged in the only business which flourishes in Washington—real estate. ‘These are they who, in their own lan- guage, are engaged ‘in selling Washing- ton to the people of the United States’ --the people who already own it. “Recently the able planners (Burn- ham, McKim, Saint Gaudens and Olm- sted) strove not for originality, but for dignity and beauty. They went back than that. They went to the very sources of the L’Enfant plan. They studied together the very groundwork ft Le Notre, in Paris, at Versailles, in Rome, and at the Hampton Court. Architecture in combination with land- Scape and adorned with statuary and fountains, and parks for beauty and for use, the adaptation of the works of man to the topography supplied by na- ture, such were the materials of which they made use. “They worked with no slavish subser- vience to the past. Far from it. Steeped in American architectural tra- dition that had come down from Co- lonial days, deeply conscious of the history of their own country, fully alive to the changing conditions of the twentieth century, and with visions of the future akin to those of George Washington, these commissioners in- bued their plans with all the. elements which go to make up a work of art. They realized. none better, that ‘the value of every artistic product is in direct proportion to the amount of purely intellectual force that goes into it.’ “And so the Commission of Fine Arts, during the nineteen years of its exis- tence, has ever held that the plan of 1901 is ne Procrustean bed binding the future. Only when improvements are proposed, such changes shall be as in- telligently and as carefully studied as were the origina] plans. is rule has proved eminently safe and sane. It has prevented innovations hastily urged, also it has made for continulty and progressive development along well con- sidered lines. More than this it has | created confidence in the plan and has made Congress ready to seek and to fol- low the advice of the commission.” - . . Peppino Mangravite, who lived here in the city for some years, is having an exhibition of his recent pantings at the Dudensing Galleries, in New York. . . A new era in mural decoration has been instituted by Muynard D*xon, of San Francisco, who has recently com- leted a decoration for the Arizona tmore Hotel at Phoenix. The critics have declared that his work is a tri- umph of originality. He has introduced & new note into his paintings and made them subservient to the architec- tural settings. It seems to grow out of the background and harmonizes with the color scheme of the room. This gradual merging into the background has been skillfully managed. His paint- ing is “The Legend of Earth nd Sun,” symbolically treated according to the old Indian legends. These legends had @ great deal of mysticism anu there is the glamour that attaches itself to the history of the primitive West. Father Sun and Mother Earth are the princi- pal figures and they are surrounded by the lesser figures of the fruitful forces of the earth and the sun. Dixon, it will be remembered, is an artist who has made himse:if famous through his Indian illustrations and intings which have been largely ex- ibited in New York. Recently he has been painting in an entirely new vein. He had outgrown his earlier style and has found that the flat, symbolic style is more expressive of the life and mys- tery of the Indians, to whom he has given his life in studying. - 2 7” > A new art in ceramics has recently been brought to perfection by the art- Current Exhibitions CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART—Draw- ings and illuminations by Marian Lane until March 24.

A nervous young girl who had writ- ten a couple of novels was taken into dinner by no less a perso than Ten- nyson. “Well, my dear, what do you do for a Mving?” asked the ppet, gruffly. The poor girl was so embarrassed at this attention from the great man that she faltered out: 3 “I bite rooks.” . . . . : Most le believe to this day that Woodrow Wilson was Sedat ts called a dresser, whereas, until he went to Washington. he had a liking for olc clothes and did not cafe who saw them, declares Charles Willis Thomp- son, noted Washington correspondent, in “Presidents I Have own.” In proof whereof he otters. this story: | When Mr. Wilson was about to be notified officially of his pomination for Governor of New Jersey, he was sit- ting on a porch at his Princeton home, dressed in an wumnpressed,| uncreased suit of clothes that he hadjworn daily for months. Joe ulty (his secre- tary-to be) came to look him over, and started in dismay. z “My God, Mr. Wilspn!” he ‘cried, the notification committee will ibe here in half an hour and you have'got to get into some decent clothes.” | r “What’s the matter with these, asked Wilson, glancing down at them in innocent surprise.” : “Never mind,” Tumulty | screamed, “vou go up and geét Mrs. _ Wilson to tell you.” ° ; ° o 2 Half ap hour afterward Tymulty re- turned, to see Wilson again sitting on the porch, dresséd to the minute. He looked at Tumulty and smiled his ugly but winning smile. : “Satisfied?” he asked. ; . oa » > : And that reminds me of. the favorite story of the late Lord Wagwick. who was never so happy as when potter- ing about the beajitiful ounds of Warwick Castle, dressed like an under- gardener. One day some Am! icans ac- costed him and asked to be shown around, Lord Warwick took them everywhere and showed tijem every- thing. As they were going the spokes- man of the party thanked him and ti him 5 shillings. ORenat happened?” 1 asked when he e the story. me i I as it,” he replied. “I h, couldn’t hurt their feelings’ . - An interesting experiment as to the effect of music on animals was recently made at the London Zoo. Am orchestra consisting of two violins, gn oboe, a flute and a mouth organ made a tour of the menagerie, visiting ¢ach house or inclosure in tyrn. The regults show- ed that one beast’s music ip another's discord, says E. G. Boulenge¢r, director of the zoo (in Animal] Mysteries). For instance, the rhingceros was found to have no ear for music. The “Moonlight Sonata” and “Tea for Two” alike aroused his ire. The s@a lions, on the other hand, were 4 my with everything put before them with the exception of jazz; The wolves and jackals responded all too readily to the music offered. The cheetah thoroughly enjoyed “I Want to Be Happy.” but registered discontent with Gounod’s “Funeral March.” - i . » The orchestra when playing in the reptile house never failed tg bring the crocodiles to the surface. Every pond was emptied, the beasts clustering on the banks, and with heads upraised evincing the keenest interest in the performance. In the insect, house the like effect was obtained with the scor- pions and certain spiders. | All birds, strange to say, were in no way attract- ed. Some were obviously annoyed. o . . * : One of Melville E. Stone's best stories —he was a famous reconteur—centered around Mark Twain and Max O’Rell (Paul Blouet), French writer and hu- morist. In the days’ before he joined the Associated Press Mr. Stone ran into Max one day at the Union/Club, Chi- cago, and found the Frenchman tear- ing mad. | “What troubles you?” asked Stone. “Why, that scoundfel, Mark Twain,” snapped Max, “says Iam quite right in saying that a large number of Ameri- cans seem to be trying to find out who their grandfathers are, but he says that the only difference between Prance and America is that every Frencliman seems to be trying to find out whg his father ted i ” e-e €@e Lillie Langtry. “The Jersey Lily’”—so called after a portrait of her painted by Millais, which he named] ‘*‘The Jer- sey Lily.” she having been born in Jersey, one of the Ohanne} islands— always strenuously deni€d having dropped a piece of ice dowh the back = a Edward wher he was Prince of a es. 4 Here is what she says about it in her memoirs, “The Days 1 Knew:” “A weird story has rsued me through life to the éffect that 1 once, at a supper party, so far forgot my manners as to drop a piece of ice down the Prince of Wales’ back. e tale has become so generally believed that I may be excused for not only allpding to it and denying it in toto, but for relating at the same time the true ‘tory of the incident which gave rise this silly false one. j 4 ~ . “One of the most adm led women was at @ ball. It was the smal) hours, pend her. waiting. husband was getting AN ATTIC SALT-SHAKER AT |'W. ORTON TEWSON bored. He hunted for his wife and found her, very wide awake, surrounded by a bevy of admirers, thoroughly en- joying herself. His suggestion that they should go home was, therefore, not re- céived with enthusiasni. As he pro- tested, and waxed rather warm in ar- gument, she, when his back was turned, deftly popped a spoonful of strawberry ice down his spine to settle the ques- tion. ‘This deZiance of marital authority was eeen by many, and, being repeated as @ good story, found its way into thé society papers with no names at- tached, and later became the founda- tion for the vulgar fabrication which I have seen in print over and over again, and in which, I repeat, there is not a grain of truth.” - * 7. *- One of Mrs. Langtry’s most ardent admirers—for a while—was Oscar Wilde, as witness his poem, “The New Helen,” in her copy of which he wrote: “To Helen, formerly of Troy, now of London.” When Oscar was writing it he became so Obsessed with the subject that he used to moon up and down the street in which his charmer Mved for hours at a time. One night, Mr. Lamrgtry re- turning home unusually late, discover- ed Oscar curled up asleep on the door- step, and put an end to his poetic dreams by tripping over him. t s o . Once when the Langtrys were stay- ing with Lord Malmesbury, statesman and diplomatist, he found “The Jersey Lily’ in tears. Asked what the trouble was, Mrs. Langtry confessed that she had written a “harmless but indiscreet”’ letter and that her husband had read a reproduction of it on a blotting-pad in their room, and ‘e was—to put it mildly—very cross. The diplomatist vx- pressed sympathy with her but stormed at his servants who, he said, had strict order to renew the bilotting-paper throughout the house every day to pre- vent just such a contretemps! ~ s * 7 Which recalls a story about Richelieu —dreaded on account of his cynicism. Happening to surnrise a court lady in @ friendly tete-a-tete with her equerry, he merely remarked: “Just think, nadum, how embar- rassing for you if some one else had happener to come in!” George Saintsbury, in his last “Scra Book,” gives this as his definition of idealism: “It is something tlrat you think nice, something that you claim for yourself, and especially something that you re- fuse to you. opponents.” Neat! oPe ¢ As showing the thoroughness of that prince of journalists, W. T. Stead, it is reiated by Aaron Watson (in “A Ne -s- paper Man’s Memories’) that when Stead was working on a Newcastle, Eng- land, newspaper at the time of che siege of Paris, he “caught the office mice, cooked them with nice care, and served them up to himself or toast, as a means of understanding what sort of experience the besieged residents of Paris were passing through at that time.” + 4 ° - Donizetti, the composer, had the habit—not unknown to writers—of Staring fixedly at some object when searching for a musical idea. A Paris shopkeeper noticed a man whose eyes were riveted on some baby bonnets in the window. After a while, he became suspicious—burglars had been busy in his neighborhood—and stepped out on the sidewalk. “What are you looking for nere?” he demanded, gruffly. “I am trying to find the finale of the third act of Lucia,” replied Donizetti. . “ * * Among the stories told by Arthur Griffith-Boscawen in his “Memories” is one about a Tommy in France during the World War, whose French was con- fined to “Oui, oul,” “Pas Bon,” and “Na Poo,” and who was bent an marrying a French girl whose knowledge of Eng- lish was not much more extensive. Bishop Gwynne, Episcopal chaplain general of the forces, questioned the soldier regarding the union. “What about religion?” he asked. “You know you are a good churchman, but she, is she not a Roman Catholic?” “That's all right,” was Tommy’s re- assuring reply. “She was a Roman Catholic, but I have explained it all to her, and now she has joined our church.” (Copyright, 1929.) THE LOVER. By Naomi Royde-Smith. Harper Brothers, New York.) As the poet sang, “The heart that has truly loved, never forgets,” and in this exquisite short story Miss Royde- Smith has painted an unusual story of & man who cherishes one love story from youth to middle age. Her grasp of technique and style in writing this simple tale has made this book one of the events of the literary year 1929. It is safe to predict that this slender vol- ume in its attractive dress of black, and green and gold is to be one of the remembered books of the year. Some one has called it a “sonata” and go it is, a song in prose. A word more or a word less here and there would have marred it even as one daub of paint more has ruined a canvas. Yet Miss Royde-Smith shows the restraint which is iteelZ art. ‘| C@8s 9 | hoa | THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. MARCH 17, 1929. OKS ee =e ee ee a COOLIDGE AS LITTERATEUR IS FOLLOWING PRECEDENT; MANY PRESIDENTS AUTHORS By ELISABETH E. POE. Now that the predictions frequently made on this page that former Presi- dent Coolidge might turn to literary pursuits after his term expired have been fulfilled, it is recalled that he is not the first President to find occupa- tion and additional fame in literature after a leading political career. Most of the writing of any serious moment done by George Washington was after he had left the cares of state behind. From the heights of Charlottesville the sage of Monticello with the memories of Washington City behind him, wrote many of his most Hluminating volumes. Thomas. Jeffer- son’s clear-cut literary style does not live alone in the Declaration of Inde- pendence, it may be found in others of his writings. John Quincy Adams, too, found lit- erary occupation after he left the White House and during his long term as a member of the House of Representa- tives. He observed the journal] habit since his boyhood and so had much rich material to draw upon for his literary ventures. The shining example of literary suc- for ex-Presidents, of course, is Theodore Roosevelt, the first, Not only did he write several books and revise previous volumes after he left the White House, but he set the example now being followed’ by former Presi- dent Coolidge of writing for the maga- zines. Furthermore, he became as- sociate. editor of the Outlook and lent a vividness*and interest to its pages which was typically Rooseveltian. Champ Clark once wrote of Theodore Roosevelt’s writings in a vigorous way. “He defied and scouted all the tradi- tions of men from Job when he said: ‘Oh, that my adversary had written a book!’ down to the articles of war. The Man of Uz evidently believed that if a man wrote a book it would rise up to thwart his progress. Roosevelt wrote several, and expressed in them his opinions as to men and things with perfect abandon—many with great se- verity—but survived them all, rising to the giddiest heights of power.” $10 Prize for Anecdotes. The Mark Twain Society, Mayfield, Calit., is offering a prize of $10 for the best anecdote about Mark Twain. The contest will close on June 1. On March 2, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Carl Schurz, German- American statesman and reformer, was celebrated. His “Henry Clay” and “Abraham Lincoln,” after all this time, remain two of the standard biogra- phies on these great Americans. Fit- tingly, the Houghton Miffiln Co. ob- eerved the anniversary by republishing these Schurz volumes in popular form. It is noteworthy that Carl Schurs often sat in the Senate press gallery as a vis- iting correspondent of the 8st. Louis Republican. Later he became United States senator from Missouri, and still later served as Secretary of the Inte- rior under President Rutherford B. Hayes. Reassuring news comes from Russia that that troubled country is witness- ing a literary renaissance. The classics of that land are receiving keen atten- tion from the people. It is said that cheap popular editions of individual Classical works have been flooding the market since the beginning of 1928. During the first eight months of 1928, 70 such works, in editions of 30,000 centenary interest in Tolstoy has been a thing at which to marvel. Book Wins $2,000 Prize.

Por years Vincent Starrett has paid his ordinary bills, he confesses, by writ- ing detective stories for the popular magazines and reviewing mysteries for the newspapers. From time to time, in the intervals of “thriller’. writing, he has written other stories of a somber and sardonic nature that please him greatly, and one fantastic satire, “Sea- ports of the Moon,” in which Rabelais, Cyrano de Bergerac, D’Artagnan and other historical figures go treasure- hunting. Possibly his best known work is a series of articles on book- collecting, contributed to the Saturday Evening Post and:other journals. He is one of the best known of the younger collectors, and his articles are authori- tative and widely popular. What is probably the first full and reliable account of Lincoln’s ancestry will appear in Dr. Barton’s new book, “The e of Lincoln,” soon to be published. In Dr. Barton’s “The Life of Abraham Lincoln,” published in 1925; and in his “The Women Lincoln Loved,” published in 1927, there was necessarily considerable mention of Lincoln’s forbears, with not attempt, however, at completeness, Dr. Barton's new book is a definite volume, . con- taining a surprising amount of new material, supported by a wealth of at- tested documentary material.

The Browning story has the additional] mer? of being true, which can not be said of all those mentioned, and it had a happy ending. Elizabeth Barrett was six years older than Browning, and, when he first met her, she was 39. She lived with her P| father and family at 50 Wimpole street, London, which Tennyson called “the long, unlovely street.” He used to go there to see his college frieni, Hallam, who lIived at No. 67. She had injured her spine while riding horsback when a child, and almost never went outdoors except to take a drive when the weather was pleasant. She was a famous poet, while Browning had attracted hardly any attention. But she had read his work and said that whenever she saw an unfavorable review of it she felt as if @ lash had been laid across her own back. One day, in 1845, he called upon her, fel! in love with her at first sight, and wrote her an offer of marriage She had had no more expectation of love, ro- mance and marriage than a nun, and her amazement may be imagined. She wrote forbidding nim ever to mention such a subject again, and to:d him to destroy her letter. Some months later she asked him what he had done with that letter, and he replied: “I destroyed it.” “What did you do that for?’ “Because you told me to.’ “Pshaw, that’s no reason.” I used to wonder how Browning, a splendid young man of 33, could have fallen so desperately in love with a tiny woman, an inval‘d, six years older than he. But when you read her let- ters, the matter becomes clear. She was absolutely feminine, feminine from her soul to her fingertips, and he was 100 per cent masculine. It was the ideal union. Browning got everything in life he wanted, because of his energy and de- termination. Some months later he told her she would have to marry him anyhow, and there was no use in post- poning an event that was bound to happen. Then she informed him that even if she were a young girl in per- fect health she could not marry him. “Why on earth not?” “Because my father would not permit it.” Her father was ripe for psychoanaly- sis. He was one of the most peculiar persons Outside of a madhouse. A suc- cessful business man, religious in the most offensive manner, a tyrant who gave his children everything except what they wanted. All parents are more or less jealous of their children, but in Mr. Barrett's case it amounted toa mania. He forbade them to informing them if they disobeyed him he would expel them from the house and never speak to them again. This actually happened to a brother and a sister of Elizabeth's. When Browning had listened to this Strange narrative he smiled and said, “Well, it is unfortunate that your fath- er will not give his consent; but as he won't, the only thing to do is to get married without it.” And he actually persuaded that invalid to run away with him! One day in 1846 she emerged from the front door, en- tered a cab, drove with Browning around the corner to Marylebone Church. After the marriage she re- turned to her father’s house for a week. Years later, when Browning came up to London, he used to go to that street |’ corner and kiss the pavement where his wife had walked to the church door. He was & passionate man. A week after the ceremony, in 1846, Elizabeth came down the stairs when all the family were at lunch. It is as- tonishing what a racket five or six people can’ make at a family meal. En- ter any house where. there is a good- sized family at dinner, and it sounds like a boiler factory. She chose her time carefully and walked down the stairs carrying her dog Flush in her arms. Had he barked, the history of literature would have to be rewritten: but he was a wise doggie and kept his mouth shut. Wife, husband and dog entered a carriage, drove to the train and went to Italy. where this supreme- ly happy married life lasted fifteen years. From the moment when she entered that carriage at her father’s door in London until the fhoment when she died in her husband’s arms in Flor- ence fifteen years later, not one letter passed between them, for they were not separated a single day or night. She says, “All a woman needs for hap- piness is three things—Life, Love, Italy. And I have all three.” Presumably any doctor would have told her that she would die on that wedding journey. She ‘could stand neither fatigue nor excitement. She got well. She gave birth to a son in 1849, who lived until 1912. Near Florence in 1904, I had a long talk with him. He said he remembered his mother as clearly as if she had been alive last week. She was always in delicate health, but she was able to be about and to enjoy life, and one after- noon she walked 5 miles! No medieval legend surpasses this love story. When we read of the yel- low-haired damosel imprisoned in the iron tower, and how the brilliant young knight arrives, blows his horn, slays the dragon, and carries the damosel away to a land of sunshine and hap- piness, we find the fairy story verified in the Brownings. She was imprisoned by a dragon of a father; the brave Browning rescued her and carried her off to the sunshine. Her sonnets show what she thought of her champion. What of her father? Years later the Brownings came up to London with their baby. Mrs. Browning wrote to her father, saying that she knew he could never forgive her, but she begged him to give his grandchild his blessing. She told him where to come and said that both she and Robert would be ab- sent the whole day, so that he would no‘ have to meet them. Her father re- plied by sending her unopened all the letters she had written him since the marriage. saying that he would have returned them before, but he did not know her address, and forbidding her ever to write to him again. - The death of Mrs. Browning came unexpectedly, although her restlessness on that last night alarmed her hus- band. He wrote to a friend: “At 4 o'clock there were symptoms that alarmed me. I called the maid and sent for the doctor. She smiled as I proposed to bathe her feet. ‘Well, you are determined to make an exag- gerated case of it!’ Then came what my heart will keep till I see her again and longer—the most perfect expres- sion of her love to me within my whole knowledge of her. Always smilingly, happily, and with a face like a girl’s— and in a few minutes she died in my arms; her head on my cheek. These incidents so sustain me that I tell them to her beloved ones as their right: there was no lingering, nor acute pain./| nor consciousness of separation, but God took her to Himself as you would lift a sleeping child from a dark, un- easy bed into your arms and the light.

Adolphe de Castro, intimate friend and collaborator of Bierce, offers conclusive proof that this most eccentric genius in American let- ters was murdered in Mexico by Fran- cisco (“Pancho”) Villa, the famous rebel general. In the final chapter of his “Portrait of Ambrose Bierce,” just published by Century, Dr. de Castro describes his journey to Mexico, his meeting with Villa, and the precarious manner in which he wormed out of the bandit chieftain the information for which he was looking—how Ambrose Bierce died. The story of this interview is an amazing climax to an extraordi- nary life story. Terse Reviews’ UNDISCOVERED AUSTRALIA. By Capt. Sir G. H. Wilkins. (G. P. Put- nam’s Sons, New York). In the multitude of travel books In the season’s output few have the real merit to be found in this book which gives us vivid pictures of the distant dominion of England in the South Seas Capt. Sir George H. Wilkins writes from the point of view of a native son of that distant land for he is a native of Australia and in his boy- hood was a sheep hefder there. In his book he sets down one paragraph which denotes him a true Australian when he writes, “In spite of all attractions and pleasures experienced in other lands there is that about the Australian bush which calls one home.” Nobly has he repaid his debt to this home land. As the result of his expe- dition to tropical Australia, described in this book, he has placed in the Brit- ish Museum no less than some 5,000 specimens, mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, fishes and plants. Unlike many books of this nature, Capt. Wil- kins tells his story in an entertaining manner. DARK STAR. By Lorna Moon. (Bobbs- Merrill, Indianapolis.) Here is a book novel in every sense of the word from the title to the form of literature it portrays. Miss Moon has handled her subject in a new way. The heroine of her story passes her early years struggling with the prob- lem of whether she owes her unlawful coming into the world to a lord of the manor or to his groom. At the end, when the test comes, it is apparent to all that she is a Fasse- fern and of that ancient lineage, even though by the left hand. For the valor of the race comes to her aid, and she dies under the “dark star” which has haunted all her days. This is a novel whose memory will linger when lesser books of the fiction type have gone to a well-deserved oblivion. WITH THE TROUT FLY. By Ladd Plumley. (Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York.) | Now the pussy willows are breaking out in feathery softness on the river banks, the brooks afe waking from a winter slumber and the faint sweet calls of birds can be heard in budding trees, the thoughts of many are turned to that most enticing sport of all— fishing. Such a book as that prepared by Ladd Plumley can woo any member of the fisherman cult—from President Hoover to the office boy who loves to bait a nimble hook—from the business at hand to dreams of hours along a brook or river bank. Fifty years of practice and study by a famous fiy fisherman are behind Mr. Plumley’s book and 30 illustrations therein will guide the reader into the secrets of knot-tying, fily-making and to other helpful matters connected with fiy fishing. The author voices the opinion and it is shared by many that the salmon and trout family lead all other families of fishes in knowledge of the man enemy ‘a 2 4%. ae ae — From a woodcut ae sé 3 « r = ae ART SHOWN: _IN VOLUM E “Evolution of Art,” by Ruth de. mont (the MacMillan Co., New is @ textbook for the leyman as as a book full of much valuable “Art for Art’s Sake” might be book is a thing of art itself.

/ i : Real Estate Classified Pa 4 ashington os a, a WASHINGTON: SUNDAY. MARCH 17. 1929. m_ ; Scientific Methods Employed Now Are Declared to Be Accurate. LARE USED IN MANY CITIES f The old “hit and guess” method of assessments, under which some taxes were fair and some were not, is ) being supplanted by scientific methods infinitely more accurate, according to the National Association of Real Estate Boards In a survey of this development, the board observes that the old-fashioned ‘assessor who tilted back his chair, chewed off the end of his pencil, and, without venturing from his office, set values for the purpose of tax- ation, is being replaced by alert young men who pad up and down the streets | measuring, comparing and testing. Such systems, it points out, are being used in Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Worth, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San An- tonio, Denver, Reading, Pa., Jamestown, figuring, YN. Y., and other cities. Property owners do not mind paying | taxes, it holds. They know that police- tMen and firemen must eat and that schools must be maintained. But they azard f }@o mind taxes basec on haph assessments that make owners of sim!- lar properties pay different taxes. q Opposed in Chicago. |. WPifty thousand property owners in Chicago last year refused to pay their taxes on the ‘ments were unfair, and Chicago is now basis that their assess- red in a vast reassessment of all rrty in the county at a cost that Twill exceed $500,000 as a result; but in Mleveland, Ohio, one of the first cities > install a scientific method of prop- rty assessment, only 29 complaints ‘Jeame before the board of review in the last twelve months. 7 But the situation in Chicago was 80 rious that the Chicago Clearing House ation, representing business in- raised a fund of $250,000 to nize the system of assessing in ogk County, Ill. The board of asses- @ did not have the funds with which | e this work and the busi- es terests gave it to them. “If enough people failed to pay their on the basis that assessments were Sere £8 unfair, a city could go broke, but busi- nesslike =u methods of computing taxes fill government coffers and reduce the same time, says Harry Cutmore, in charge of the revalu- ; for the Chicago area and new permanent system operation there.

Taxes ran only be equitable when assessments over a city can be compared and pund to be le and assessments r De compared when the same Geleumisetee did dsptt: réle haa bee the ep n carded, and the Chicago system is edicated on a uniform standard unit ot which is a strip of land 1 foot wide i 125 feet deep, located in the middle f an imaginary block without corner ér other influence. Lots of greater or depth than the standard unit are faded according to a standard depth ple and uniform rates for calculating ner, alley, or any other enhancing influence are provided. result will be that properties ex- ‘etly alike in different parts of the city il be treated precisely the same. System Was Antiquated. “Practically evey~ branch of ow mu- icipal government has kept pace with fhe march of science and progress ex- | pt the important branch that raises money to our government,” said Mir. more. “In 1927 the assessor's se continued to do business on the ne basis as it did 50 years ago. With ne matter of municipal taxation be- min y important to the } Owner, due to the @ cost of government, the second t city in America, a year ago, was ng property on the old township 3 a “Arbitrary assessment made in an and guess work, often hacked by Tiencec nt distributed the un , made many people homes, and held receipts from those who felt | been wrongly assessed. ry modern raunicipality is about gear behind in the collection of its _If one could conceive a city with funds in its to run for a year, ty would always be paid sac? : : They, therefore, borrow a ey ee ee ere ene a a /IT-AND-GUESS LE IN ASSESSING.GONE -— — from the banks, on what are known as ‘tax anticipation notes;’ that is, they borrow against th» taxes they expect to receive, and when these taxes are collected they are turned over to the city borrows again on the next batch of expected taxes. Would Bankrupt Cities. “It is easy then to see what happens if a great Many taxes are not paid and if property owners, who feel they have been dealt with unfairly, drag out their cases in the courts. The city does not receive sufficient funds take up the tax anticipation notes ahd these notes must be extended, further interest paid or additional money borrowed elsewhere if this can be done. It is possible to conceive a city in the situation where hundreds of thousands of property owners were holding up payment of their taxes and where the banks would no advance any more money. Such a city would go broke and chaos would result.” In the work in Chicago, the city is divided into 44 districts. Committees of real estate men enter on maps pro- vided by the assessor, values they be- lieve are fair for land in the district. This is done on the assumption that such men who have done business in these localities for many years know more about the fair valuation of land than any one the city officials could consult. “This system that will assure the public that the prices registered in the assessor's office represent the composite community opinion as to the fair value of land and buildings, by equalizing values, will automatically lower the tax rate from around 85 to $2 in the Chicago area,” says Mr. Cutmore. The tax expert points out that under the old system, even though some prop- erties were taxed on too high assess- ments, the total number of assessments did not represent 100 per cent valua- tions throughout the county. The old haphazard, and unequal method actual- ly yielded only a part of what an ef- ficient system could yield. It is expect- assessing will, by reason of its uni- formity, yield much larger tax revenues if the same tax rate is used. But taxes are raised to correspond with a city’s budget and Chicago has already indi- cated that the revenues expected from the old system are sufficient for her needs, says Mr. Cutmore. Therefore, if the new system brings in more money, the tax rate can be reduced to fit its 2 nang gon city keeping only what it ‘secure from i «aati ts antiquated Realtor Group Named To Determine Policies Members of the executive committee of the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards, whose responsibility it is to act with the board of directors in determining the policies of the organ- ization, have been appointed by Harry H. Culver, president of the association. Mr. Culver is exofficio chairman of the committee. The two new members whom he has named are: James B. Pisher, Brooklyn, New York, and Harry S.. Kissell, Springfield, Ohio. Members who have served during 1928 and who have been reappointed include: Leonard P. Reaume, Detroit, Mich.: Walter S. Schmidt, Cincinnati, Ohio; W. H.

Proposed amendments to the Illinois real estate license laws, indorsed by the Illinois Association of Real Estate Boards, have been introduced into the State senate where they are now pend- ing, and are due to have an early hear- ing. The purpose of the amendments is to require examination of real estate brokers as a prerequisite to license. Help Equalizing Assessments. Under a contract with the city coun- cil three members of the business prop- erty appraisal committee of the Des Moines, Iowa, Real Estate Board are undertaking an actual value appraisal of all property within the business dis- trict of Des Moines.

Realtors Will Hold Appraisal Coniest An appraisal contest designed to demonstrate the best appraisal meth- ods will be open to appraisal commit- tees of constituent boards at the twenty-second annual convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, to be held in “oston, Mass., June 28 to 28, and for which plans are now well under way. Entrants in the appraisal contest may choose either industrial or business property for their competition. Under the rules for this contest, as tentatively planned, the appraisal committee of any real estate board which holds membership in the national association may enter the contest by choosing to appraise one class of property, but not more than one. Data compiled by the Boston Real Estate Board on the two properties which it has selected for the contest will be forwarded to appraisal committees proposing to compete. The committee winning first place in the business property appraisal contest will be awarded the St. Paul cup; the win- ners in the industrial contest will also be awarded a cup and in both competi- tions honorable mention will be given to the winners of the second and third places. | Burton Will Compete | In Boston Contest. W. Cameron Burton, of Burton & Condit, winner of the second annual speaking contest recently held by the Washington Real Estate Board, has been entered in the national home-town speaking contest, to be held in Boston next June, according to Ben T. Webster, president of the local board. For many years the National Associ- | ation of Real Estate Boards has held a home-town speaking contest as a spe- cial feature of its annual convention. Realtors from various parts of the country enter the contest for the pur- pose of broadcasting the virtues of their home town, and the successful con- tender is awarded a silver trophy. The convention this year will be held in Boston, June 25 to 28. 3 PEPE PEPE EP EMEA ERED EPEPEHEMEMEHEDE ERY, ; Fc a oe Se eee . “ee dal "a +": Ske ches shoe -) as be Soe ee OY Tee ee so Meiers . _ > Aeteal Photo A NEW HOME 4420 Que St. (Nerthwest) ROSS 2BPHELPS Crea‘ers and Developers ef Foxhall Village Ses he oh Se Eee Eee a Oke ee 4 Reservoir Road, West to Village. a | St. Louis Drice West on Que St. to Wisconsin Ave..

COMING Sales methods, market trends and organized sales effofts in the real estate field will be discugsed by local realtors and associates atia sales con- ference to be held under the auspices of the Washington Real Estate Board Wednesday at the Willard Hotel. Mem- bers of the Alexandria, Arlington, Fair- fax Real Estate Board have signified their intention of participating. The corWention has been designed as a business clinic to give ‘those in at- tendance an opportunity of analyzing present day real estate problems, ac- cording to Ben T. Webster, president of the local board. He estimates that be- tween 300 and 400 realtdrs, salesmen and other associates will be present. Divided in two sessions, one in the afternoon and another in the evening, the special group conference will be guided by two officials of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, Will- iam E. Herren and A. J. Berge, director of the extension department and sales counselor, respectively, of the national organization, will lead the discussions and demonstrate modern sales utilities. Answers by Experts. Topics listed for analyéis and dis- cussion are as follows: ‘Preparation for the Sale,” “Maps, Chafts and Dia- grams as Aids in Selling,” “Closing the Sale” and “Building a Clientele.” After each topic is discussed, questions will be answered by the two visiting experts. In line with the néw policy of ren- dering specific service to its members, the local board, Mr. Webster said, has arranged this “home town” convention to bring to its members the newest de- velopments in real estate pra. tice. Both of the national leaders cohmducting the convention are practical’ real estate men, who in recent iyearg have been specializing in the development work of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Mr. Webster said that in their extensive travéls and contacts with real estate boards in all parts of the country these mer have amassed a vast amount of first-hand informa- tion concerning real estate conditions. Mr. Herren has been largely responsi- bie for the tremendous growth of the national association during the past six years. The number of congtituent local boards in this ‘orgavjizatipn have in- creased from approximately 300 to well over 600. During his service with the national association Mr.| Herren has traveled an average of 50,000 miles a year in making 1,000 visite to real es- tate boards in practically tit State in the Union. Author of Treatiges. As sales counselor, Mr. Berge has di- rected all of the activities of the bro- kers’ division of the natiqnel associa- tion in respect to sales development. He has written numerous séles treatises, is special sales editor of the National Real Estate Journal and ‘coauthor of the “Course in Salesmanship” pub- lished by the National Agsociation of Real Estate Boards. In his special sales work Mr. Berge has analyzéd 7,000 real estate selling plans and thas trained more than 2,000 salesmen. | With this background of experience and training as well as the valuable contacts made with successful realtors throughout the country, both of the convention speakers, Mr. Webster said, bring to the Washington realtors a wonderful opportunity tp stimulate business. g A special committee has been ap- pointed by Mr. Webster to handle the attendance at the convertion. This committee consists of Charjes D. Sager, R. L. McKeever, J. B. Shapiro, Morris Cafritz, Horace G. Smithys Jesse H. Hedges, Wilmot W. Trew, John Saul, Milton F. Schwab, Re L. Rust, jr., J. E.

Smith, Inc., through Hedges & Middleton, Inc. IN BUILDING URGED Three Dimensional Criticism Is Asked in Expressing Structure. DISHONESTY NOW SHOWN Truth in architecture, with a striv- ing to give structural expression to such facts of modern life as speed, mass production, huge corporations, high pressure salesmanship, advertis- ing campaigns and jazz, is urged by Gerald Lynton Kaufman, in a state- ment given out yesterday by the Amer- ican Institute of Architects. Kaufman calls for “three dimen- sional criticism.” holding that good architecture must satisfy three major requirements: the practical, the struc- tural and the aesthetic. “Modern architecture of our cities is now striving toward this third di- mension of criticism,” he says. “We are tired of false fronts: we wish to express the truth. We wish to create a demand for this truth on the part of our friend the average man, as well as his spokesman, the board of direc- tors and the loan companies.” Importance of Elevator. “Obviously,” says Mr. Kaufman, “the most expressive product of the ma- chine age, combining both speed and mechanism, is the elevator. The ele- vator made the skyscraper possible; its presence inside such a structure is em- phasized by a predominance of ver- tical motives in the treatment of the facade. “Steel, a product of machines, mass- production, and huge corporations, is also essential to the modern building. | Considerations of climate prevent the | actual exposure of steel of a facade, | but nothing hinders the true expres- | sion of this form of construction, in| the design. | “The products of the machine age, in glass, metals, and alloys, in tiles, terra cottas, and concrete, offer an ex- tensive alphabet with which to write for posterity the message of today. “Modernism is trying to express this third dimension of truth. If materials are machine-made, let them proudly proclaim the fact, rather than hide be- hind false pretenses. If a building is erected by a large corporation conscious of the advertising value of its facade, let it have black brick, gold ornament and flood-lighting. Becoming Self Conscious. “If a purely commercial structure is built, let its lines express steel fram- ing, elevators, glass-lit, high-rent office floors, and machine-made ornament. Architecture is just beginning to know its age and to be self-conscious in its expression of today. “In New York the Graybar, the Chanin, and the Park Avenue Building are expressions of this tendency; in De- troit the Fisher Building is an excellent example; and in Chicago the new Opera House, and unfortunately, the second prize design for the Tribune Tower— the one that was just a few years too early to be understood, and bullt. “If a true American architecture is to be developed, the average Man must demand honest expression of this third dimension of structure in the buildings that surround him, and must have it in his own mind, when criticising. Un- til this is required of architects, they will continue to produce New York Central Buildings, Ritz Towers, Wrig- leys, Paramounts and similar mon- strosities glorifying movie-magnates or chewing-gum kings.” Explained by Critic. Explaining his principle of “three- dimensional] criticism,” Mr. Kaufman says: “The esthetic dimension is the sim- plest; it is all that is measured by the man in the street, when he says ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ meaning pleasing or displeas- ing to himself. “The second dimension should be width, the practical. By a practical building we mean one which satisfies to a large degree the use to which it is put. “A modern bank building designed with a Parthenon facade, though it may be a modern American place of worship, cannot carry out Greek tem- ple architecture inside and be practi- cal. We satisfy the board of directors entirely with regara@ to| the practical dimension, and if they Insist on wor- shiping Athena at the same time as Zeus Drachma, we meekly place our order for a half-dozen Doric columns for the exterior, to be sent C. O. D. from the local dealer’s. “The third dimension is structural Satisfaction. Why are we concerned with this at all? Why not leave it to the engineers and the building code? If the building stands up, it is struc- tural. If not, we are spared the trouble of criticising. Deceptive Stone Lintel. “But we are to measure structural satisfaction with our minds, not with our slide-rules. We know enough about stone, unconsciously, to feel it is capa- ble of spanning a short distance and bearing weight. But suppose we saw a stone lintel placed horizontally over an Opening 30 feet wide? “The fact of its standing unbroken might give us sufficient confidence to walk under it, but it does not satisfy us structurally. Something tells us we are seeing the impossible: there is trickery or deception about a 30-foot We are confronted with “We may know there is a steel girder inside, but we are none the less out- raged for knowing how the trick Is done. Something within us says that architecture should have truth as well as beauty if architecture is to remain an art. “Fortunately enough, we do not see 30-foot stone lintels every day. Such a structural lie as this is even too pat- ent for the building loan companies, who dictate to such a large extent just what our modern architecture shall be. But we do see equally dishonest con- struction if once we take into oyr criti- cism this third dimension. “We have everywhere about us the suggestion that a two or three story colonnade at the base of a skyscraper is supporting 20 or 30 floors of solid masonry above—often including a tin cornice at the top made to deceive us by a coat of paint into thinking it is also of masonry. Protected by Steel. “The structural fact about the lime- stone colonnade is that it would be entirely crushed by the masonry above unless a steel frame behind the facade were doing the actual work. We are apt to remember having seen this steel framework, so that we are not afraid to walk in and take the elevator. But we have neglected to stand off before entering, to apply our third-dimen- sional standard of criticism, and we fail to ask whether or not we are be- ing told structural lies in the archi- tectural design. “ ‘All very well,’ the average man pro- tests of modernism, ‘but I do not like it.. Merely not liking it ls not enough. The fallacy is the use of the word ‘it’ when there is no ‘it.’ True mod- ernism does not yet exist; so far we have only been making studies of it. The ‘buildings we mentioned as ex- amples are actually but preliminary sketches. “We do not wish to commit murder yet. Modernism is here; it has been born and one can hardly dismiss the baby with a mere ‘I do not like it.’ “All we can do is to try to under- stand, and to give such understanding as we have the benefit of three dimen- sions of thought. We have thought long about the esthetic. We have perhaps thought broadly about the practical. Now let us think about the structural, and let us think “deep.” Plans Approved For 4 New Homes Residence for Mrs. Wilder. on California Street, Will Cost $62,000.

Buying by Farmer Is Extended by Radio That the farmer’s buying horizon has extended in this day of the radio, the automobile and extensive: advertising, and that he no longer considers land in his own immediate neighborhood when he thinks of buying a farm, as he usually did 25 years ago, but, on the average, buys land 113 miles distant, is the tendency indicated by answers given by farm brokers in response to ques- tionnaires sent to them through the farm lands division of the National As- sociation of Real Estate Boards. Contrary to the general opinion that farms for actual farming are becoming more and more the property of the thrifty Austrian or Bohemian immi- grant, the data showed that 81 per cent of the purchases were made by native- born Americ.ns in es where 72 per cent of the farms purchased for actual farming purposes and not as in- vestments. Similarly, if these ques- tionnaires are to be taken as indicative of general trends, the day of the young couple who are just married and take upon themselves immediately the bur- den of a farm to pay for is a thing for the pioneer novel; for the average age of the buyer for the entire group of farms was 46 years.

What makes a manufacturer locate his cranes and derricks and ®vens on 8 particular site and thereby render profit to the owner of the land and to the owners of adjoining lands w many miles? Three F nndionieatal Factbrs. “Among the things that industry must have today to be successful, there are three outstanding fundamentals— transportation, or railroad facilities, accessibility. and labor,” says Mr. Beardslee. “And land that can offer these things has high value but so im- portant are each of these factors that the absence of any one of them in an industrial location will ugually ruin an enterprise.

Winter Storms Fail to Turn Fishermen From Their Work . Business Goes On as Usual Despite Gales Lash High Seas—Reward Is Generous, Along New England Coasts Boston March 16 (A.P,).— While wintry gales lashed the North Atlantic and landsmen hesitate before setting foot aboard the greatest liners, business goes on as usual for the New England fishermen. Here adventure and monetary reward at once beckon the restless youth as they did his fathers before him. Now and again some brave craft sails away to the port o’ missing ships, as did the steam trawler Seiner and her crew of twenty this winter, but that does not deter others from aeeding the call of the sea. “We have only one meal a day,” ex- plained the cook of one trawler to a vis- itor aboard. “Yes,” the skipper chimeJ in, “it lasts from 5 in the morning till 5 the next morning.” It is a task for men, this fishing, and the only dieting they need is the pro- viding of sufficient nourishing food to replace the wear and tear of the vigor- ous physical effort required. Some of the vessels, mostly the trawl- ers, carry wireless equipment, but there are scores of schooners that ply their trade without aid of this modern com- munication system. Storms delay activity, but as the storm bates somewhat nets are low- ered. The men work like demons on decks on which a landsman could not keep his feet. Drenched by flying spray, they haul the icy nets with bare hands or hands protected only by cotton gloves. The pace is furious. Sleep is snatched in two or four hour intervals. Meals are cyrtailed to a few minutes. With thousands upon thousands. of pounds of fish packed in their holds, the fisherman start shoreward. It is often a race with many other craft to catch peak prices of a profitabie market. At one time this winter scores of craft, carrying altogether aearly 2,000,000 pounds of fish, engaged in a furious race to port. If the market is right the’reward is generous. Operating on almost com- munistic basis, the crews split the pro- ceeds according to prearranged plan. With good breaks the membDers of the crew may receive between $200 and $300 each for a week’s work. If the breaks are against them the reward will be far less for the same amount of work. Unloading quickly, they push the task of refueling and restocking so they return to the banks with the slightest possible delay. —— of locating afar afield. Today many a manufacturer leaves the town where he grew up, hard though it may be, and builds his factory a thousand miles away if that is the place where he can manufacture with the lowest overhead. “The second important factor that enters into the value of industrial prop- erty today is accessibility. Proporties from which a product can be econom- ically and advantageously distributed by automobile truck have high value Such properties must front on or have easy access to paved streets or paved arterial highways. its workingmen are de-erted, its fac- tory is vacant. When this happens real estate values suffer. “If you live in a town where civic organizations go out into the world and search for industries to bring back home to boom the town, be sure that your town has industrial possibilities and that the right industry comes there, “If you have land that you think has industrial merit examine its qual- ities carefully. Remember the things that make for industrial values.

TERRA COTTA IS ADVISED Establishment of color as a recog- nized element in American architectu- ral design will lead to a new period in American home building, a period of beautifully colored and enduring resi- dences, declares Julian Clarence Levi; New York architect and designer, in a statement made public yesterday through the Building Research Coun- cil. “The American home owner has al- ways been color shy,” says Mr. Levi. This has been the more lamentable, he believes, because beauty in color has been available, not only in pigment but in structural materials, such as terra cotta and similar products. “There are many lovely residences,” he says, “but a great majority of them miss the added charm which might have been had through the use of color Exteriors and interiors as well offer this possibility: Not only details such as columns, archways, copings, fireplaces and ceilings, but the wail surfaces themselvés may be made things of beauty with colorful, plastic materials. “I believe the public is at last being awakened to these possibilities by the appearance of color in various articles | of everyday use. These bright hues en- tered the home first in a little trickle, which has now grown to a broad stream, including everything from kitchenware to coverlets. From terra cotta fountains and chimney pots the use of color in construction is spread-. ing over the inside and the outside of our homes.” Our climate is admirably suited to the use of structural color, Mr. Levi thinks. Especially charming effects can be had through the use of colors in washable, weather-resisting mate- rials, such as terra cotta, which can be allowed to take on the appearance of age without.fading or change of — values. * a a . : ve = tt RT 3211 46th St. N.W.

As a logical location for high-class lawyers, real- tors, large financial and commercial corporations, engineers and architects, the Investment Building offers space, considering its importance, at the most reasonable rates in the city.

McGahan, chairman of the veterans’ preference committee of the department. The advisory commit- tee appointed by President. Coolidge : Lieutenant General re- f Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, on August 7, when consisted of Representative Hamilton Fish, jr.. of New York, chairman; Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau: Will- lam C. Deming, president of the Civil Service Commission, and John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the national legislative committee of the American Legion. “The special commission appointed by President Coolidge to study the question of veterans’ preference,” ac- cording to Chairman McGahan, “had obviously confined its consideration to the situations involving the disabled war veteran and his dependents. but/ V. F had suggested to the President that the committee be continued in existence for the purpose of further study of the problem, particularly with regard to the proposed consolidation of the per- sonnel bureaus of the Government un- der the Civil Service Commission and the abolition of the Bureau of Effi- ciency, the Personnel Classification Board and .the United States Work- men’s Compensation Commission.” Effects of Coolidge’s Order. The effects of the executive order of President Coolidge are as follows: “The addition of ten points to the earned rating of a disabled veteran is continued, but under: the new order the names of disabled veteran eligibles are. placed at the top of the list and are certified ahead of nonveterans, re- gardless of their rating. “Widows of veterans, and wives of veterans who themselves are physically disqualified for Government employ- ment, are allowed 10 points added to their .earned ratings, instead of 5 peints formerly allowed. Wives and widows of-veterans who are allowed the additional 10 points also will be certi- fied ahead of ‘nonveterans. “A Government employe entitled to preference under the law and rules is given more liberal preference in reten- tion in the service when reduction of force is necessary.” “At the meeting Monday night De- Harlan Wood ent Adjutant F.

Lindsley trophy offered by national headquarters for the depart- ment showing the greatest percentage gain in membership up to March 1 over the previous year, Department Commander Harlan Wood announced that the latest official report from ‘national headquarters showed. the de- partment of the District of Columbia in first place with a percentage of 125.06, while the nearest competitor is the department of Wyoming, with 82.01 per cent. Mississippi ran third, with 81.89 per cent. The winner of the trophy. will not be announced, how- ever, until the Department of Hawaii is heard from. This far-off department in the same official announcement showed that department to be in twenty-ninth lace, so there remains but little doubt that the District won the mucti coveted trophy. The District was in twenty- third place when the race for first honors started and finally reached the top notch, much credit for which is due the recent intensive membership campaign which started February 15 and ended February 28. The race for additional honors will continue, with the hopes of capturing some of the other trophies which will be presented at Louisville next fall at the national convention. The District has a good handicap over the other 52 departments in the race and being well over its quota this year stands an excellent chance of carrying off other membership trophies. Comdr, Wood announced that 17 of the 23 posts comprising this depart- ment were over 100 per cent paid up and that efforts will be made to assist the five remaining posts to reach the 100 per cent mark and if this is ac- || complished it will be the first time in J.jin the Woodman's | place the history of the American Legion that any department showed a 100 per cent paid-up thembership by April 1.

BELL T is my view, at the moment, that nothing can provide a more dis- tressing measure of discouragement than to have a purely specu- lative appraisal of a possible development come true after so long @ lapse of time that its point is wholly lost. What I mean to say is that ‘When this happens, too many very elegant ideas go to waste. That can ' not go on for long with some of us or there will be nothing with which ‘fo chink the voids thus created. The thing that irks me particularly is that many weeks ago, upon this ery épot, I unfurled the theory that the razor edge having worn off the iovelty of the talking picture, and the device of intermittent sound and _@ialogue having palled upon a patient public, the time was fast approach- ng when a new form of screen entertainment, combining not only col- Joquies and realistic rackets but song and dance in addition—after the manner of revue, musical comedy or operetta—would put in its appear- | @nce and knock the cash customer for a long row of loops, barre] rolls or what would you? As I recal) the thesis, it was profoundly bulwarked with incontrovertible arguments, unassailable logic and a slight dash of plausibility. . It was the contention, I believe, that the new type of ienseeniesseabte @iversion was something which Washington might well stand prepared to greet, since the National Capital always is in the van of every new de- ¥elopment along the line of polite and profitable whoopee. There is Nothing in that which I wish now to retract. It is only that the sugges- tion was pulled too soon, as we say at the guild. I should have clung to it in tenacious silence until this night of travail when I could use it to advantage. RECISELY what was prophesied is coming to pass. The most dis- | Pp cussed and the most enjoyed of recent presentations in New York _ have been those which have followed the familiar outline of the stage .* musical attraction. There are two of these tuneful novelties now before the public, with many more in preparation soon to be made available for eneral consumption. They are by no means duplicates, these precursors ‘of @ new cycle, although both belong, in the large view, to the same ipategory. Both, incidentally, are to be on view upon the screens of local ‘picture houses before the current month is out. : Not to be cryptic longer, it may be said that reference is made to the Tieslig.Goldwyn-Mayer production of “Broadway Melody” and the Fox ‘production of “Hearts in Dixie.” If no other, they serve the common pur- se of demonstrating that the girl-music-dance form of entertainment is ‘“Sdeally suited to the requirements and the perfected mechanisms of the ‘articulate screen. « “Broadway Melody” is cut in something of the conventional mode of ‘the popular stage musical. It sings, it wise-cracks and it dances with a ‘verve and spontaneity that are said to bring a new quality of enliven- {ment to the palaces formerly favored for the soundless charms of their ‘eilent spectacles. : “Hearts in Dixie” is the first pretentious undertaking of which I am ‘®ware that enlists an all-negro cast and colored chorus of .60 voices. It - Wyisualizes, and makes audible, what the most recent report of the Na- tional Board of Review describes as a ‘‘delightful, rambling story of life bey ® Southern plantation, suitable for the family audience, including ildren.” », Although the downtown, first-run theaters have included many short- reel musical acts and brief, tabloid revues in their Vitaphone and Movie- gone programs, these feature-length attractions will be the ones which ll be looked back upon in later years as those which blazed the trai) ‘tthe expanded “‘talkie” from the obscurity of the experimental stage §e/the discriminating screenz of the Capital City’s foremost motion pic- ire theaters. 7 ii HE frenzy for films that can be heard as well as seen is still of , such brief duration that figures are only now beginning to be- ‘ome available on the staggering amounts the innovation already has bat an industry inured to the expenditure of fabulous sums. - According to Variety, the only theatrical journal I know with an ni & nose for figures, the motion picture industry has spent a total Ot $24,000,000 during the past eight months for the reconstruction, or new construction, of sound studios and stages, with $3,000,000 more iim immediate prospect of being spent for important experimentation that 3 is felt can not be deferred. _ Whether this vast outlay was actually necessary for the successful uction of sound and dialogue pictures, many are beginning to doubt. i practical value of the precipitate rush to make everything soun4- preof has been rendered dubious partially by design and in part by ” jpecident. “xatter it had been generally accepted that a sound picture could be Puined by letting a pin drop within a radius of five miles of the micro- phone, William Fox decided to try a dialogue picture in the open and @ehieved a memorable success with “In Old Arizona.” Fire then de- ptroyed several hundred thousand dollars worta of new sound stages on the Paramount lot and Mr. Lasky forthwith set his sound units to work Making dialogue pictures on the old stages, previously used for the Mianufacture of his company’s silent product, with no impairment of ‘Yesults or lessening of quality. The only precaution taken was to hang heavy drapes about the companies engaged in dabbling in audible commotions, as is done in any well-ordered radio broadcasting station. Now they are wondering if that $24,000,000 might not as well have been saved, and Mr. Fox, just to make sure he was right, has intro- @uced all of New York’s street and subway noises into the action of his production of “Speakeasy” with as great a degree of effectiveness as marked his recording of the meager tumults of the desert in Arizona.” Mr. Kipling was wrong when he said, “The tumult and the shouting dies.” They have only just commenced! . a * . fHE sudden and unexpected acquisition of control of both Loew’s, Inc., and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer by William Fox, as dwelt upon here at some length last Sabbath, has been followed by an aftermath of disgruntiement in some quarters—where such a reaction is any- hing but surprising—the renewed threat of a theater-building war between the Colossus and the Gargantua of the industry and no end of ‘enthusiastic speculation wherever films are discussed. It is reported that the production executives of M-G-M on the West Coast were not consulted concerning the feasibility of the merger with Fox and when the deal finally was consummated were left high and dry with their jobs still intact but with their prestige and self-complacence @ trifle dented here and thers and the fenders badly scratched. It was, ‘we are told, a dirty deal. Possibly it was, but it is suspected that Arthur — Loew, who happens to be Adolph Zukor’s son-in-law, does not feel quite | ‘hat way about it, since he is reputed to have received $18,000,000 of | ‘the $60,000,000 said to have been involved in the transaction. Mr. Zukor, furthermore, is said not to be so happy over the final eventuation as the lay public was at first~led to believe from the pub- _ fished reports. It seems that years ago when Mr. Zukor was all bot and — about his company’s need of more theaters in New York, an _ Mgreement was reached with Marcus Loew whereby Mr. Loew built the _ theaters and Mr. Zukor ceased to worry about where his pictures would : a be rum. Now all of those playhouses that Mr. Zukor did not build, but - Mr, Loew did, have passed under the control of Mr. Fox, with whom, as - - ¥ understand it, Mr. Zukor has no working agreement of any kind o ever of which any one is aware. | this circumstance that the rumors of theater-building wars . It is seen as nothing more than a measure of protection iat Mr. Zukor and his associates in Paramount-Famous-Lasky should “mov m8 | tate the contracting business and stick a theater up on every orner in Gotham. oe the meantime, the Warner brothers, whose ambitions are said to med in the direction of absorption of the Loew enterprises on A modest hook, are stated to be holding earnest conversations |, » Laker, looking to anything you like.

SECRECY KEEPS DARK IDENTITY. OF THE SLAYER and the yere the Monta Bell, his cameraman player who enacted the role, only persons at the Metro ni et Mayer studio who witnessed the mur- der which provides the plot ne “The Bellamy Trial,” which is playing at Loew's Columbia. Because of the surprise ending of the mystery drama which he adapted from the magazine story by Frances Noyes Hart, Bell went to jnusual lengths to rve the element; of sus- pense up to the very lest footage. For this reason when the “murder” took place during the filming, all other members of the cast were ex from the set and a high wall inclosure cut off the view of curious eyes. Margaret Livingston was the woman who was “killed,” but she refused to let any of her studio associates in on the secret. The cameramen said he was too busy grinding to notice who made fhe fatal knife thrust, and Bell just laughed when asked about the “glay- er’s” identity. “I refuse to answer on the | ‘ground that I might incriminate myself!” he declared, Spectators, who see the picture, au- tomatically try to figure out who was responsible for the murder. The sur- prise disclosure that comes at the end of the film shatters many amateur de- tective hopes. Leatrice Joy, as the woman on trial, Plays the leading role. In the elabo- Tate cast of yg ee players are George Barraud, nneth Thompson, Betty Bronson, Polly Ann Young, Cos- mo Kyrle Bellew, Charles B. Middleton, Edward Nugent, Polly Moran, Margaret Seddon and Charles Hill Mailes. | Two Metro-Movietone supplementary acts present Van and Schenck, Amer- ica'’s most popular singing comedians, and Elsa Ersi and Nat Ayers, a combina- tion of composer and singer, in authen- tic renditions of selecting from popular operettas. The M-G-M News, the Fox Movietone News and thé Columbia Or- chestra, under the direction of Claude Burrows, complete the program. THE LAST WEEK OF AN EPOCHAL SOUND PICTURE Richard Barthelmess will again be the featured screen star at Crandall’s Metropolitan, where “Wéary River,” his first First National Vitaphone ‘talking picture, is now being shown third week. “Weary River” has been attract- ing crowds to the Metropolitan which compare to those that saw “The Sing- ing Fool.” “Weary River” has given Barthelmess & great opportunity.

It was di- rected by Charles Klein. Almost without exception, motion- picture scenes are photographed with- out regard to the final arrangement, all action in the same locale being shot at one time. Later, film editors and cutters go over the complete film with the director and assemble the produc- tion. “The Sin Sister” is unique in that more than two-thirds of the picture has its setting in a deserted trader's shack, where the six principals are ma- rooned by a treacherous guide. At the shack, which they enter to epend the night, Newton deserts Horn’s party, leaying them with a secant food supply and no weapons. The mental reaction of the six jll- assorted companions is told vividly during their enforced stay in the cabin. Horn, the blustering bully, becomes a craven coward. His daughter, the re- fined society bud, becomes a siloven. Van Dykeman, the dilettante, becomes a real man for the first time. Pearl becomes a self-sacrificing girl. Sister Burton, on the verge of insanity, be- comes an atheist. How this situation is finally worked out makes a graphic and thrilling story. Speaking of the way the picture was made, Director Klein says: “It is unusual to have six characters remain in the same room throughout the greater part of a film. It was necessary, of course, to show all the persons in many of the ecenes, except where the action was in close-ups, or else account for them otherwise. None of the characters could leave the shack, as there was a raging blizzard outside, and besides there was no place for them to go, as it was a frozen Alaskan wilderness.” The stage portion of the program, always an important feature at the Fox, will again have youthful Bert Frohman as master of ceremonies, in- troducing an especially selected cast of Broadway. favorites. The week marks the return of Joseph La Rose as production director. Mr. La Rose has been in Brooklyn starting the new Fox theater in that city on its way. Leon Brusiloff, conducting the Fox Grand Orchestra, will do honor to St. Patrick in a special arrangement of be- loved Irish airs. The Fox Movietone News, which “speaks for itself,” will complete the program. Warner Releases. Two pictures will be offered by War- ner Bros. during January for pre- release showings in theaters equipped with Vitaphone, according to an an- nouncement from Sam E. Morris, vice } president and general manager in charge of distribution. The pre-release date for the first is January 12 (yes- terday), when advanced bookings were made for Rin-Tin-Tin in “The Million Dollar Collar.” On January 26 “Fancy Baggage,” with Audrey Ferris, will also be available to Vitaphone exhibitors. These two pictures make a total of five Warner productions for screening in January. Three are scheduled for national release during the month, both in Vitaphone and non-Vitaphone versions.

OLD MASTER IS AVERSE TO FAD THAT HE BEGAN It was D. W. Griffith, producer- director of “Lady of the Pavements,” the feature attraction at the Palace Theater, who made the slim and slen- der woman fashionable in the old Bi- Ograph days of 20 years ago, when he introduced Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish to the cinema world. The director recalls that he had some difficulty with the Biograph officials because he insisted o-= giving Mary Pickford a leading role. The executives believed audiences would walk out on her, and based their arguments on the successes of the Lillian Russells, Eva Tanguays and the Lillian Langtrys—all plump and with well-rounded forms. Griffith persisted, and Mary Pickford rose to stardom and an eminent place on the screen. Since then, however, the slim and slender form of beauty has starved it- self into what is generally termed a “boyish figure”—an angular caricature of woman at her loveliest. Even the dimple is going. Griffith believes that if curves and dimples have really gone away under the influence of an affected masculin- ity, they will shortly come back. He suggests that the world would be happier if they did. “I fear motion pictures have been an unfortunate influence in empha- sizing thinness, because the screen s0 exaggerates the human figure that a curve beautiful in life becomes con- spicuous when thrown upon the screen —sometimes to triple and quadruple size. se Griffith doesn’t lament his early ox- periment in exploiting slenderness at the old RBiograph studios on West Fourteenth street in New York, be- cause since then he has been largely instrumental in bringing fame to at least 20 of the most famous stars of the day—all slender. His latest “find” is Lupe Velez, whom he and Douglas Fairbanks consider th 5 most beautifully formed young woma in films. Miss Velez, who appears in “Lady of the Pavements,” is the physi- cal representative of that large class of girls who came immediately Pome the era of the “boyish figure.’ On the stage Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators will appear in the Loew-Publix unit staged by Charles Niggemeyer, “Bubbling Over.” Boyd Senter, Victor recording artist and sax- ophone and clarinet virtuoso; Markell and Faun, eccentric dancers; Lillian Roth, vocalist; Byal and Pring, and the the cast of the presentation.

WARRING CLANS SHIFT FEUD TO ATLANTIC CITY Lovers of riotous farce comedy based on substantial romance will be well satisfied with “The Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City,” the current screen offering at the Earle Theater. FPunny as were Universal's previous Cohen-Kelly pictures, they suffer in comparison with this latest joy epic from Carl Laemmle’s studios. We have not had such a thorough-going comedy for some time. There are many big sequences, such as that of the beauty parade and the return of Cohen and Kelly to their modernized bathing-suit establishment. The picture was actually filmed in At- lantic City, with real bathing beauty parades end everything, which increases the interest immensely. A noted cast takes part. George Sid- ney, in the starring role of Cohen, gives one of his funniest portrayals. Sidney is a fine actor in any role, but he is unquestionably at his best as Cohen. He played the same role in the earlier Cohen-Kelly versions and knowing it s0 well is able to get every possible hit out of it. Vera Gordon, in the role of Mrs. Cohen, is an excellent comedienne. Mack Swain and Kate Price, as the Irish contingent, battle the Cohens to a tie for comedy honors. William Craft directed with commendable deftness. “The Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City” is the story of a pair of big bath- ing-suit men whose angle on beach wea: is as old fash‘!oned as long dresses. The business is going to the dogs when & snappy son and equally modefn daughter get rid of their parents long enough to bring the styles right up to the present and even a litle bit higher, thus saving the business. Lip Readers. Now that talking pictures have ar- rived, according to Clarence Brown, director, audience attention will focus on-the mouths of the stars instead of the eyes, as in silent drama. “Norma Shearer,” he says, “has the only perfect mouth that I know of on the screen, and next to her comes Laura La Plante.” The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer director be- lieves that this fact will eventually change the entire technique of screen make-up. f ‘A STRANGE LANGUAGE BORN OF UNION OF ODD JARGONS pee ee. ih cides throwing : a plece of heavy black cardboard set to cut off light from a section of a set, and that “turtles” are squat boxes covering connections for electrical ca- bles.

A WORD TO THE UNFAIR SEX ON DEFT MAKE-UP By MAX FACTOR (Hollywood's Foremost Make-Up, Authority). — Every woman knows that attractive- mess is her best and quickest selling as- set. Even before she has the oppor- tunity t. reveal the charm of her per- sonality or the quality of her mind, her face has informed others exactly what to expect of her. No woman, realizing this, can af- ford to neglect her physical beauty, for every woman has some dowry of beauty. And now that beatity is a science—a workable science that any one can learn, apply and possess, she can satisfy that looks. Moreover, it is her duty to do so. The art of making up is taken for granted these modern days. But no art can be, learned in a day. A woman must learn how to make the most of her charms by studying herself and other women all the time. ty To strive for physical beauty only is to seek to be an object rather than a person. A- woman who thinks of noth- ing but dressing up and decorating’ hersef becomes a decoration. Yes, a decoration is pleasing, beguiling for the moment, perhaps, but it is readily replaced by another decoration, or put aside when something with reasen for being, with vitality and charm and Wis comes along. Which is my explanation why pretty women are so often puzzled by the popularity and success of plain women. How do they doit, they wonder, and what is the reason for it? The reason is that physical beauty is only a shell ‘for real beauty, which is an inner qual- ity. And every plain woman ‘has that. Suppose the secret ambition of your life depended upon the perfection of your make-up. How much care, thought and study would you then give to the accentuation of your nat- -| ural beauty? Do you wonder that we of the motion picture profession diligently study the art of make-up—for, to us, beauty is ar almost priceless asset, No one of the movie stars, you know, is flawlessly beautiful.

DALY SUALLY, all the talk has to do with “What's the matter with the American theater,” and seldom, if ever, is there mention of “What's not thé matter with the theater.” wr Just at present it seems that one thing not the matter with the «American theater is repertoire; or, in more common parlance, “stock.” + Over in Hoboken, across the river from New York, down here on ‘Nee street, where the National Theater Players hold forth, and in fese provinces invaded by the Theater Guild—here last week at “Poli’ s—repertoire seems to be doing quite well by itself and the Spon.

FAMOUS FARCE NOW ENGAGES THE PLAYERS “Nothing But the Truth,” that fine, fanciful farce from the pen of James Montgomery, will be revived by the-Na- tional Theater Players for the week be- ginning tomorrow night. Not seen in Washington sinte it was played here by the first road company, many years ago, Truth” will be recalled by the old- timers as one of the most carefree and rollicking comedies of the past two decades. It was hailed by ¢ritics as the first truly representative American comedy, since it resorted to none of the continental subterfuges nor sug- gestivenesses. Again, its story was based upon. a wager—a typically American way of settling a controversy. When the central character in “Noth- ing But the Truth” takes up a bet that he can refrain from telling a lie dur- ing all of 24 hours he starts a train of calamity that no one, not even himself, foresaw. He undertakes to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help him Jehosaphat! The result is, a young married couple is sent scurrying toward the divorce courts and he and his sweetheart are forced to cancel their engagement to be married. Such is the miighty force of truth, Having gotten the man to tell the truth, the entire surrounding popu- lace spends the 24 hours trying to per- suade him to lie; but-—- There 1s the substance of the farce. It is one of the funniest ever written, as might be judged from the bare out- line of the idea, Wilfred Lytell, leading man with the National Theater Players, will neces- sarily carry the burden of “Nothing But the Truth,” since he miust. por- tray its central character. Miss Mary Newton, leading lady, will be cast op- posite him in another fast-moving part. Miss Betty Kent, the new ingenue, and Freddie Sherman, juvenile, have ex- cellent parts. So, too, Charles Hamp- den and Mrs. Hibbard who, along with Miss Helen Wallace and Robert Bris- ter, help mightily in the unfolding of the play. There will bé matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. General Review. Miss Janet Richards, at her regular Monday talk on “Public Questions: Home and Foreign, ” will give a general review of the outstanding eévents in the world’s work for the past week, with special mention of the pro of events under the new administration in Washington, and a glance at the various capitals of Burope where his- ‘tory is being made, concluding with the present status of the revolution in Mexico. The talks are given every Monday morning at 10:45 g’clock it the Masonic Temple, Thirteenth street and New York avenue. Theater Trend. “The Trend of the Modern Theater” will be discussed by Miss Theresa Hel- burn, executive Wirector of the New York Theater Guild, in.a lecture on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, March 22, at the Y. W. C. A. Auditorium, under the auspices of the Américan Associa- tion of University Women.

Yet, “Twin Beds” is a farce—and 4 farce never to be forgotten. It tells the story of a young man, weary of club life, who marries and settles down to the quiet joys of domesticity. Happily en- gaged during business hours, he leaves a> home, in a luxurious apartment. a young wife who pines for something to do, whe, when he comes homie at night tired, after a hard day in the office, wants to join the merry-merry. Her unconscious flirtations and the conse- quences that cause three married cou- les to flee from each other, only to be brought together again under an- other roof, form the basis for all the action. Miss Mary Newton, leading lady; Wilfred Lytell, leading man; Miss Betty Kent, the new ingenue; Freddie Sherman, juvenile; Charles Hampden, Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard, Miss Helen Wallace and Robert Brister will carry the motivating roles. There will be the usual matinees— Wednesday and Saturday. Bayard Veiller’s successful drama, “The Trial of Mary Dugan,” comes to the Poli’s Theater for one week, be- ginning Sunday night, March 24. Far from the rank and file of the usual trial play, which is so filled with long testimony and tiresome dialogue, the characters of the persons are brought out by the question and an- swer method in such a way that the audience breathlessly waits for the next |witness to take the stand. The cold, sarcastic district attorney, the spectator who calmly eats a sand- wich and drinks two glasses of water between the acts, but in the presence of the audience, the negro elevator boy, who testifies and the girls who will bring “Mazda Alley” to Washington with their slang and eye-rolling, all add to make this play one of the most unusual. The company, which is headed by Ethel Intropidi, Marjorie Dalton, Moore, Josephine uval, Henriette Davis, King Calder, Ivan Miller Harry Hanlon and Frederick Roland in the more important parts, is that which proved entirely satisfactory when the play was presented at the Belasco The- ater earlier in the season. The attraction at the Shubert Be- lasco Theater, beginning Sunday night, March 31, will be Theodore Driser’s dramatic classic, “An Amefican Tragedy.” The engagement of “An American Tragedy” will be one of the most important of the current Wash- ington season.

GROUP WILL COME HERE Canada’s place in the broadcasting Treaim is one of the problems of aggra- vated proportions that remains as &a heritage to the Hoover administration. The North American division of short Waves has been accomplished success- fully and to the apparent satisfaction of all, but Canadians are still voicing dissatisfaction with the Dominion’s allotment of six exclusive and twelve shared channels out of the ninety-six @vailable in the broadcast band. The Canadian royal commission &ap- pointed to investigate the Dominion’s radio broadcasting problem will visit the United States some time this month or next conferring with the Fed- eral Radio Commission and with high government radio authorities. Until it renders its report, the attitude that the Ottawa government may be expected to take can not be deter- mined. The dissent thus far heard has been voiced largely through the press @nd in other informal ways. The investigatorial commission con- sists of Sir John Aird, president of the Toronto Bank .of Commerce, chairman; Charles A. Bowman, editor of the Ot- tawa Citizen, and Augustin Frigon, director of the Montreal Ecole Poly- technique. It has been studying the radio broadcasting situation in conti- nental and the British Isles be- fore embarking for a windup North American tour. Whether it will visit the United States first or return to Canada directly from London has not been learned. Agreement Must Be Voluntary.

At any rate no trace of it was found when the new occupants of the White House moved in. ‘One of the first orders from President Hoover, who is considerably more radio- S street home and installed in the State dining room. For his convenience upstairs another smaller radiola was placed in the President's study. The President's determination to stick to his old set —notwithstanding the fact he couM have had a dozen new ojjes for the asking—necessitated the calling in of H. K. Zinnecker, radio service man extraordinary, to change it over from alternating curregt, such as is used uptown, to direct current at the White House. It is a model 32. Just so Vice President Curtis, it is understood, stands by his old Fada, which has been moved into the Mayflower. And former Vice President Dawes, evidently of the same inclination, had his Radiola 28, which he has had for four years, sent back to Chicago. 7 * oa . >. This caused an amusing incident. It seems that Mr. Dawes’ old friend, Gen. J. G. Harbord, dropped in on him and the two \wanted to listen in on a part of the inaugural broadcast. Learning that the Dawes set had been boxed up, Gen. Harbord, who is the president of the Radio Corporation of Amierica, and whoordinarily can command a thousand radios if he wants ‘them, telephoned downtown for his people to send up a set pronto. | | It came pronto ail right, but was an ancient portable—almost an ex- tinct species. Try as‘he would, Gen. Harbord. was unable to make it work. Finally, in the face of good-natured gibes and laughter from Gen. Dawes, because Gen. Harbord couldn't run one of his own sets, the latter had to give the thing up as a bad»job. A little later, when no longer needed, the set worked perfectly. | , _ . - . i t The ice having been bréken by the inaugural broadcasts! from the sacred precincts of the Senate, it is almost a certainty that other great events will be heard from there by radio in the future. Now that the initial installation has been made—in the case of such a debate as took place between Senator Borah and Senator Jim Reed recently—it would only take a matter of a couple of hours to get everything hooked up again. To this end—at the suggestion of James D. Preston, patriarch of the Senate press gallery—the broadcasting companies have each presented to the Government the booths used to house the anndouncefs on the Senate floor. David Lynn, the Capitol Architect, has cdrefully stowed them away for future use. In the meantime a suggestion has heen made that one of the booths be placed on exhibitian at the Nationa] Museum as a historic relic of the Hoover inauguration. | . . 7 . 7 It will probably surprise many of those who listened in to learn that during the first years of the Senate proceedings were held behind closed doors, not because of a desire for secrecy, but the crudé chamber was so constructed that visitors could not be accommodated. | It was not until Congress assembled in Philadelphia and citizens pro- vided a gallery for visitors, were the doors thrown open) to the public. James Monroe offered a resolution in the first session of the Second Congress in 1792 to allow the public to be admitted, but it was defeated as proved the case several times later. However, the resolution subse- quently was passed and visitors were admitted to the Senate for the first time in 1795. . - os ” More than a hundred years later, in 1925, the dignity of the Senate was still so great that the then Senator Charles Curtis, as chairman of the joint committee on the inaugural, wouldn’t listen to the suggestion of broadcasting the swearing in of Vice President Dawes in the Senate chamber. This year, with Senator Moses chairman of the inaugural joint committee, Vice President-elect Curtis had no say so in the matter, However, if there is any one man in the Capital who is now thor- oughly convinced that it was a good thing to do, it is Vice President Curtis. The reason for this is that his desk was almost buried in a stack of telegrams and letters resulting in his hearing from home as -he never had before. Friends everywhere expressed their delight at having heard his voice. : “On a little old borrowed crystal set I listened to the inaugural ceremonies,’”” some one wrote from Kansas City,.“and even last night “When I heard you take the oath I was thrilled,” a message came from Wichita, Kans. “It was a great joy to hear you sworn in as Vice President of the United States,” some one wrote from Hays, Kans. “I got a heap big kick out of every minute of the ceremony,” a con- stituent who sounds as if he might be of Indian descent, wrote from Herington, Kans.. | | From Malakoff, Tex., there came a message: “I, being a blind woman, am very grateful for the splendid broadcasting of the inaugural pro- gram.” After hearing from such widely separated States as California, Alabama, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Ohio and New Jersey, Vice President Curtis expressed himself as being delighted with the range of the broadcast. : . o e . s ; The first senator’s voice to be heard over the air from the Senate chamber was that of Reed Smoot, of Utah. Subsequently, the voices of numerous other senators were heard, but Senator Smoot was actu- ally the first. | This was due to the fact that he happened to be talking when the Senate was connected by the first chain inauguration morning, and though his Rame was not given by the announcer, névertheless his voice could be plainly heard in the background and readily recognized. “Pe tar ie { The announcement last week that the Shuberts are to instajl radios in the dressing rooms of all their theaters brings to mind the fact that Joe Cook, the Hoosier comedian so recently with us, has fiye radio sets in his chateau at Lake Hopatcong, N.

I only wish I could express to you how I feel.” | ——— and QS Local Radio Club Conducted in Cooperation With the Washington Radio Club. Amateur News é At a recent meeting of the Washing- ton Radio Club, William M. Smith, W2GP, the president, complimented the amateurs who had taken part in the governor-President relay on March 3 and 4: In a brief tabulation of final results of the relay, it was stated by Edward N. Dingley, W3HL, that mes- sages had been received from all but eleven of the United States. The question of reintroducing inter- city chess matches via amateur radio was brought up, with the suggestion that it might help to demonstrate a larger usefulness of amateur code work. B H. Marshall, W3BKW, former presi- dent of the club, said that at least two stations in each city taking part In a ymatch should be available, one acting as a relief station and standing by while the other is sending. W. R. Bur- ton, W3NR, offered his assistance in contacting outside stations, getting the names of several radio clubs and their addresses, in order that written communications may be addressed to their secretaries in regard to chess matches. More definite plans will probably be made later. The club settled on arrangements for the annual banquet which will be held at Harvey's Restaurant on March 23. Guests are to be invited, among them several radio engineers, local inspectors, Government radio officials, and a representative of a radio corporation. The president read a communication with a newspaper clipping regarding the Geneva broadcast, which began on Tuesday. Four languages will be used at the Geneva station in Italy, namely, English, Spanish, French and Japanese. The Geneva station hopes to be heard in all parts of the world. The broad- cast for America from Italy will be between 5 and 6 p. m. EST every Tuesday, for several weeks, on 388 meters. Edward N. Dingley, 3HL, spoke on the necessity of using heterodyne frequency meters for the purpose of keeping transmitters on their correct frequen- cies by checking the emissions, and of ascertaining correct frequencies of sta- tions from the receiver, to be able to separate frequencies as close as 10 kilocycles by the heterodyne method. The ordinary absorption meter will not give anything like this sort of ac- curacy. Dingley outlined the circuit to use and described the apparatus in detail, giving helpful hints on con- struction. He stressed the fact that such an instrument might be built from the ordinary “junk” in, possession of most average amateurs. A photo of W3ZW’'s station was passed around, showing full equipment with which the broadcast of an airplane wat picked up on inauguration day, fed into telephone lines to station WMAL, which itn turn fed the Columbia Broad- casting System. The frequency which the plane used was 2,575 kilocycles. Mrs. Edward N. Dingley has obtained a radio operator's license, with a sta- tion call of 322. THE LISTENER’S VIEWPOINT Brings in Distant Stations. To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: On my Bveready set I have logged: KLCN, Blytheville, Ark., distance 800 miles, operator said he was sending on 7% watts and had been heard 2,000 miles away, reception clear and strone: CFCD, Vancouver, B. C., distance 2,363 miles, 500 watts, reception clear but weak, was signing off at 6:30 a, m. Washington time; CFCY, Charlotte- town, P. E. I., letter from station stated he was operating on .100 watts, selec- tions I mentioned and time were cor- rect, reception clear and strong; KFSD, San Diego, Calif., 1,000-500 watts, 2,277 miles, reception clear, considering loca- tion, thought San Diego worth logging; WTAW, College Station, Tex., recep- tion clear and strong, tone quality from the low power station we think excep- tionally good. HENRY W. DALBY. 527 Kennedy street northwest. February 25. Expresses His Disappointment. To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: I wish that you would check up on the accuracy of your radio department. I berate its habit of announcing cer- tain selections which it thinks the radio entertainers will render that night, and then having the entertain- ers disagree with it. The particular instance I cite is that of an announce- ment appearing in your radio column of March 6, that, during the Palmolive Hour, Victor Herbert's “Twilight in Barakeesh” would be rendered. Being an almost fanatical Herbert fan, I re- mained at the radio at no little in- convenience—to be bitterly disap- pointed (nor was that the only mis- take of the evening). Now I wish you to understand that this was not the first, nor the second time, to my distinct recollection that I, posted by an announcement in your paper, have in this way been disap- pointed. The frequency of this occurrence con- vinces me that it is no rare mistake. If you don’t know what’s going to be offered, please do not guess. Perhaps you do not realize how seriously some readers take Your announcements, and what they may mean to some, or you would not be so lax. I do not know what good, if any, this letter will do, so I, for one, will hereafter cease to attach much credence to what I read in your radio section. If, however, the fault is with the Palmolive people, I should wish to apologize for any disturbance this may cause. J. A. GANNON, Jr. March 7. In printing these detailed programs from day to day we publish the list of selections and soloists as sent to us by the station or sponsors of the hour. Quite often the program is changed in the last minute, leaving the station or sponsors no time in which to send out the necessary correction. In such case it is obviously impossible for us to in- form the reader.—Radio Editor. Hears Ohio on 10 Watts, To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: In the early hours, or about 2:30 o'clock, this morning, I listened for a long time to Station WEBE at Cam- bridge, Ohio. This station operates on a frequency of 1,210 kilocycles and usés Only 10 watts of power. I heard their announcements of call letters five times. All of the broadcast could be heard plainly across the room. Cc L. COY. March 9. RADIO PROGRAMS WRC—Radio Corporation of America.

Gees KR Stars vA dE weg 2 ee fon THE AIR THIS WEEK | il D R. FREDERICK FLEMING, of Providence, R. I., will be the! speaker in the service from the Church of the Epiphany at 11 / o'clock this morning through station WOL. Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo, will preach the sermon in the service broadcast by WRC from the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church at the same hour. “Institutional Religion’? is the subject chosen by Dr. S; Parkes Cad- man for the address to his radio congregation at 4 o’clock this after- noon from WEAF. Dr. Cadman will conduct a complete religious service and will be assisted by the Cadman Cathedral Chorus of 30 male voices under the direction of William Armour Thayer. Defining the “Sermon on the Mount” as the charter of the Christian life, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick discusses its implications for those who really aspire to live as Jesus preached during the broadcast of the Na- tional Religious Service at 5:30 o’clock from WJZ and associated sta- tions, including WBAL, Baltimore; WHAM, Rochester, and WLW, Cin- cinnati. A short sermon will be heard from WMAL at 5:30 o'clock, “The Bible and the Death of Christ,” by the Rev. Donald Grey Barnhouse, pastor of the Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. Bach’s Passion according to St. Matthew will be the offering of the combined talent of the Symphonic Hour and the Cathedral Hour from WMAL between 3 and 5 o’clock this afternoon. This oratorio is probably the most awe-inspiring of its kind ever con- ceived and composed. It was first produced in St. Thomas’s Church at Leipzig on Good Friday, April 15, 1729, the congregation joining in its choruses, notably the one known as “O Sacred Head All Wounded.” The first American performance took place on May 8, 1874. This great work has rarely been heard on the radio, and a large group of soloists, chorus and orchestra are combining today to make the occasion a mem- orable one. 4 Erno Rapee will direct the Roxy Symphony Orchestra in a concert at 2 o’clock this afternoon from station WRC, This will be preceded by a half hour program by the Royal Filipino Orchestra under the guidance of Vincent Fondevilla. The Dayton Westminster Choir, one of the outstanding vocal organiza- tions of the country, which has been heard only once in a National Broadcasting Company program, will sing again for radio listeners at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon from WRC. Walter Damrosch will intro- duce the chorus. The complete program follows: “Star-Spangled Ban- ner,” “Steal A;ay to Jesus,” “God Is a Spirit’ and “Benediction.” March compositions by Capt. W. J. Stannard, leader of the United States Army Band, will be featured in the Stetson Parade at 6 o'clock. Nicholas Vasilieff, dramatic tenor, will be the featured artist in the Capitol Theater broadcast at 7:30 o’clock through WRC. Jean.Goldkette will conduct the orchestra in the Studebaker Motors. program at 10:15 o’clock from WRC. “Sunday at Seth Parker's” will be the closing feature. John Coriglianok, violinist, and Harry Perrella, pianist, are sched- uled to be heard during the “At the Baldwin” concert from WJZ at 7:30 o’clock. Station WBAL will be included in the hookup. Andrew Mack, Irish singer and actor, will be the star of the Irish hour in honor of St. Patrick’s Day that the Sonatron program will present at 8 o’clock this evening from WMAL. An Irish program will also feature the La Palina hour. Walter Kelly, monologist, will be the guest that Majestic’s Theater of the Air will present at 9 o’clock tonight. Mr. Kelly is known all over the country as “The Virginia Judge.”” Redferne Hollinshead, tenor, will again be the soloist during the hour. | Alma Gluck, who was forced to postpone her scheduled radio concert because of illness, will make her appearance in the De Forest hour at 10 o’clock this evening. Miss Gluck has selected two folk songs of little Russia, arranged by Zimbalist, and a group of American songs, consist- ing of “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny,” “Little Old Log Cabin in the West” and “My Old Kentucky Home.” first bow to the radio audience. - Beethoven’s opera “Fidelio,” which took eight years to complete, will be presented by the National Grand Opera Company at 11 o’clock to- morrow night, from station WRC, Paul Whiteman and his orchestra will play a waltz medley and @ tango medley in his next broadcast hour at 9 o’clock Tuesday evening via WMAL. Phil Baker, popular radio entertainer, will be the featured attraction in the Veedol Vodevil program from WMAL next Friday at 8:30 o’clock. A half hour earlier the Cities Service Orchestra will be heard from WRC. Walter Damrosch will again conduct the General Electric Orchestra from WRC on Saturday evening. ——_-——— —_ — Radio Announcer Despairs of Japan Short Waves One of the first things Mrs. Coolidge did when she got back to Northampton was to go downtdéwn and buy some wire for her radio.

Mountain trails and treacherous coun- try stretching for endless miles cut down the expedition’s speed so that the 300 miles to Quito, Equador, con- sumed four months, , Near Altaquer there cccurred an ac- cident which killed Barone’s mechanic and almost wiped out the former him- self. Picking their way along the slope of a mountain peak, an avalanche swept the car down the side. Orces! was terribly crushed, but did not die immediately. Barone was cut and bruised unmercifully. A cluster of huts up the mountainside became the objective. Biinded by blood and sweat, and almost fainting from the agony of his wounds, Barone strug- led upward, his companion begging to shot and released from his misery. The five miles from the scene of the accident to the wan outpost of civiliza- tion were like five years of torture in the deepest pit of Hades—but Barone kept on. Valiante! When Barone arrived at the huts, there: was no doctor. The lone priest administered the last rites. The third companion had come to the end of the road. Robbed by Sandino Bandits. Half buried by rocks, Barone’s car seemed to be a complete loss. But, still refusing to give in, with the assistance of some natives, he took the machine apart and reassembled it with his own tools and a few provided by a black- smith. Once more he was off; an al- ‘| most insuperable handicap bested. From Cali, Colombia, Barone pushed forward, with the aid of another me- chanic, through heavy underbrush. Terribly slow and terribly torturous was the travel, but Panama at length was raised. There, there arose another ob- stacle, for the only way across the Isthmus was by water or the Panama Railroad, and Barone had no intention of shipping his machine. The situation was explained to offi- cials of the railroad line, however, and the car was designated a “special train” and allowed the right of way over the tles The trip h Central America was a succession hardships and mis- fortunes, capped by an altogether un- a, meeting with some Sandino ts, At their hands Barone lost clothes, funds, gun—everything, in fact, except the car. The latter they were afraid to take, knowing it would be identified by the United States Marines. Against the advice of the American Marine commander, Barone continued overland, struggling his way through Honduras and pushing up, up, through the wilderness of Central America un- til the borders of Mexico were touched. The journey through Mexico was not uneventful, with various contending military forces coming into view at dis- concerting turns. Again, however, Ba- rone “stuck with it” and brought his car safely to the American frontier, What our roads seemed like to Ba- rone after two years of building his own, so to speak, can be better imag- expressed. Barone is making a tour of this coun- here after his tion of the Pan-American highway, which some day will connect ail the | Americas in an unbroken chain is cer- tain, and that view is taken by officials of the American Government and others who have viewed with satisfac- tion the movement in behalf of such an intercontinental motor road. That this man's feat is one fraught with real significance is indicated in a roster of those who assembled to honor him at last week’s luncheon. It in- cluded Dr. Leo 8. Rowe, Director Gen- eral of the Pan-American Union, who ided; William Manger and Frank- P. Adams, also of the Union: Wilbur J. Carr and Francis White, Assistant Secretaries of State; E. W. James and H. 8. Fairbank, of the United States Bureau of Public Roads; Thomas P. Taylor and Frank B. Curran, of the U. S. Depertment of Commerce; Pyke Damon, Na- Stephen James, Highway Education Bu- réeau, and others interested in the inter- national roads idea, Thus, Barone's story is completed. That is, the story of his heroic ges- ture, But that in a larger sense his story will not be truly completed until the Pan-American highway has been realised and until the Americas ere in- dissolubly linked, is the conviction of no who see in Barone’s glorious ed- ture an epic of the finest propor- tions.

The booklet contains detailed in- formation relative to the shipment of cars abroad, and the customs documents, traveling pesses, port charges, passports, steamship accom- modations and freighting that will be found necessary. It also contains & summary of road regulations in all European countries. The club will mail copies of this publication to any one addressing the Automobile Club of America, 12 East Fifty-third street, New York City. THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY.

Motor Chiefs Will Confer Here Development of Seryices to Car Owners to Be Dis- cussed at Session. How the various motoring services may bést be developed for the millions oi car owners who will travel by auto- mobile this year will be considered in all its varying phases by exeécutivere of clubs and State associations affiliated with the American Automobile Associa- tion at a three-day conference which will open here next Wednesday. Motor club leaders from all parts of the United States and its insular posses- sions, and from Canada, will attend. _ Although a large portior of the pro- gram will' be devoted to development of the standardized services, it will in- clude also considerable attention to the needs of Americans touring abroad. Major topics will be good rpads, sign- ing, motoring facilities of various inds, taxation and national safety. The opportunity will be taken for an interchange of ideas among auto club executives. From a club atandpoint, an important topic for consideration will be emergency road service, and means for its improvement will be sought. | Among the speakers who will address the conference are Edward 8S.

In those days, one of the jobs we did regularly was to keep the coolin’ system in perfect condition. We had to do it.

Starting with the battery ter- minale, a check of the various connec- tions usually will quickly disclose which is nsible. Motorists have spent considerable money in buying new bulbs and put- ting them into the sockets before checking for the trouble. It always means more bulbs. Practical Test for Gasoline. If the gasoline one buys is bad enough to make the motorist long for an easy test of ite qualities, an old one may suffice. If the fuel is close to kerosene, a little bit of it evaporating on the hand will leave an oily deposit. The test is fairly crude but it will show gasoline.

Coolin’ systems, of course, are bigger and better, as they need to be, but the car owner’d better know that they've got to be kept this way if the engine is to do its best. The first principle of system care ts that everything’s got to be clean. The water that goes into it has got to be free from foreign sub- stances. Yet motorists’ll put water into any kind of container, it seems, and pour it into the radiator with never a thought for what goes in with it. It means, every time, they're takin’ a long chance of stoppin’ up the whole works. good coolin’ this, I know of very few motorists today who pay any attention to the kind of water they pus into the coolin’ system.

Taking him at his word, I began: "Do you know that there is a cer- tain number of stops in every set of brakes?” “That sounds pleusible, but if you are as me to give you the exact number, I'll have to admit that I’ve never counted them. Have you?” “No,” I told him, “I’ve never counted them myself. but they have been counted. The maximum number, varying with different sets of brakes, ranges from 40,000 te 60,000. The number that some drivers get misses the possible maximum by as high as 50 per cent, according to scientists who have gone into the subject for the benefit to motorists who'd like to be in- telligent. The difference between the maximum number of stops possible and the number actually achieved de- pends on the way one stops.” “Ah, I begin to see your point,” said Bob. “You'd have me hoard my stops like a miser hoards his nickles. All right, hereafter, I'll stop only when the traffic cop tells me to pull over to the curb. That ought to be very soon after I put my no-stopping program into ect.’ “That isn’t what I meant at all. I don't propose to hoard stops, merely to spend them wisely. Most motorists, _— yourself included, if I recall your driv- ing correctly, are prone to be wastrels. That's the thing that the expert on brakes criticizes, and wisely, I think. “Do you realize that you can waste your whole 40,000 or 60,000 stops without ever quite coming to a stop? It de- pends upon the nature of your driving. For instance, in mountain driving, try- ing to get down the grade with the geers in high instead of going back to second or low will bring’ the brakes into continuous play. Tremendous heat is generated. The brakes literally are roasted alive. All their potential stops mbay be wasted in a mile. | “We waste stops on the level all the time. Coming to traffic lights for in- stance, we nearly always can tell whether we will get there in time or be forced to stop. We really don’t stop. to figure it out, just go dashing up to the intersection and when the light goes ted jam on the brakes hard. It may cost 50 stops in brake lining wear, while if we had slowed down and let the engine help halt the car one would have been plenty. ; “If we intelligently spaced out our stops, we’d have a lot more left at the end of the day than we do. For in- stance, a test made not long ago which called for eppiying the brakes every quarter of a mile at a speed of 30 miles an hour resulted in déstroying the lin- ings after 336 steps, The heat gener- ated by each did not have a chance to be dissipated before more heat was applied. : “Knowing this, I, for ons, am going to stop wasting stops. I'l] not hoard them, neither will I waste them. How about you?” : “Count me in,” said Bob, obviously impressed. (Copyright, 1929.) Now that tire men and motor car builders have stopped debating ¢0 keenly the question of responsibility for shimmy, another argument seems in the process of development, Looking over the cars generally, tire makers are be to believe that there is too little clearance between fenders and tires. The small space available, they say. forces the use of tire sizes inade- quate to the weight of the vehicle when loaded. On their part, when they look over the same cars, design- ers see this small clearance as a beauty factor, ppateeny it all depends upon the point of view from which one looks them over. ee = a Central chassis lubrication, which makes olling and greasing the car more certain by making it less diffi- cult, reaches constantly into lower ce fields.

With car bodies getting closer and closer to the ground, it obviously isn't very dif- ficult to step straight from the curb into the car without uging the running board. Of course, this applies to a fair- ly limited number of models. As to car appearance, several new sport models prove that the running board can be dispensed with at no cost to beauty.

SALES REPORTED ACTIVE There has been a 10 per cent increase in automobile production thus for this year, as compared with the correspond- ing period of 1928, and the outlook is for the establishment of new high out- put records for the full year. These points were made by Alvan Macauley, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, in speaking before the members’ meeting at Detroit. “The gains in business this year as compared with last are gratifying, not only because they show progress, but also because they indicate a conserva- tive advance in produetion operations,” ndustry may look forward to _ best year in’ its history, ggg ncereases in general prosperity, here and abroad, as well as on a more intensive use of motor transportatiol in a wide variety of carrying operations. “Industry is always in the healthiest condition when it is making consistent, steady progress, which is t situation indicated for this year. “In the United States, highway con- struction is going forward at the rate of 40,000 to 50,000 miles of hard sur- faced roads per year.

This truism, generally recognized in every realm of teaching, is being impressed upon ‘}many conscientious flying school oper- ators. The great impetus that the flying school movement has achieved during the last two years has proved to many excellent pilots, who have undertaken to instruct and to those who have hired them for that purpose, that flight teaching is an especially diffi- cult task. According to many who have tried it and moved on to other forms of employment, teaching is the hardest kind of flying. Beyond skill, it takes patience, cour- age, confidence and, generally, the characteristics of a good teacher in any field. Many instructors find themselves measuring up to the requirement of courage, of confidence, and the like, but are remarkably short on patience. Explaining his own lack of it, one pilot declares “that it’s hard to be pa- tient when some nit-wit is risking your life as well as his own.” The history of flight instruction ts filled with evidence that substantiates this point. In the recent requirements laid down for flying school members of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce is one which demands that instructors hold transport licenses from the De- partment of Commerce. Commenting upon this, many obégervers point out that while: it will assure the employ- ment of pilots who know flying, it will mot necessarily assure the school of getting a good teacher. That is, and will continue to be, the especial problem of the head of the flying school. No one doubts, though, that he will solve it. Convertible Plane Here The convertible coupe and sedan have proved popular in automotive markets. Persons who have been look- ing for the same design in the airplane field can stop looking. The open or closed ship already is here. In it, one can fit one’s flying to the weather just as in the case of the convertible motor car. Along the Airways Aviation’s Problems and Progress in Panorama By AYER RYDER — Compromise Necessary Just as in most automotive design, the form of the airplane represents a compromise. ee . For instance, it is especially desir- able to get a low landing speed. The simplest way to achieve it is to enlarge the wing area which reduces the load- ing upon the ship’s sustaining member or members. Why not do it then? In » the first place, a large wing represents a reduction of maximum pijane speed. In addition to this shortcoming, it makes the plane exceptionally hard to fly when the weather is rough and gusty. It calls for compromise. At that, landing speeds are being consid- various devices that vary the wing area. : How Spinning Starts Just what is it that starts an air- plane into a spin? The average person, reading about its happening from time to time, would like to know; Most of the unintentional spinning starts as a result of trying to climb the plane too steeply. The suction above the wing thus being reduced, the plane drops and starts to dive. If, during the dive, one wing falls lower than the other, the maneuver becomes a spin. The ailerons which control ‘lateral bal- ance in the plane are far less effective when the nose of the plane is pointing downward. Aviation a Hohby It is interesting to those who know his story that one of the greatest fig- ures in commercial aeronautics today, beth in the manufacturing and opera- tion ends of the industry, took up the subject as a hobby. And) while it rep- resents an investment of millions, he still retains his large interests outside. Another big figure in the ‘industry is & banker who continues, jn spite of his many air activities; to hold his earlier jobs. | More Weather Posts The need of facilities for reporting weather information to airmen is be- coming more widely recognized. New York's legislature now has a proposal before it for the establishment of four- teen stations to serve aviation. (Copyright, 1929.) Rescuer of Nobile Coming to Capital Lundborg, Swedish Aviator, Will Arrive in New York on Wednesday. The man who rescued Gen. Umberto Nobile from the ice at Spitzbergen last summer, Capt. Einar Lundborg, noted Swedish aviator, is expected to arrive in New York Wednesday and to come to Washington soon thereafter. While in the United States he will re- late his experiences in a few lectures under the auspices of the American Sons and Daughters of Sweden, a Swedish-American patriotic organiza- tion. The proceeds, it is stated, will be used for the advancement of aviation in Sweden, Capt. Lundborg is an instructor in aviation at the Malmslaett Military Plying Pield, Sweden, and the primary purpose of his visit to this country is for studying the progress of aeronautics in the United States. Capt. Lundborg was originally to be an army engineer, and as such took part in the wars of libera- Finland and Estonia, re- edish commission for the born in India, where parents were Gwedish missionaries. became interested in flying in 1922 ‘when he started his army career anew, ;and in a comparatively short time he ame for himself as an Oil Pump Highly Important to Plane Must Produce From 50 to 100 Pounds Pressure, Exceeding Autos. There are several differences between airplane and automobile engine lubri- cation systems. For instance, in the latter the oil is carried jn the crank- case, while in the plane power plant & separate oil reservoir is required. In addition to providing larger capacity, it facilitates cooling of the oil, which f@nctions at higher temperatures. This fact accounts for the expression “dry sump,” which is used in plane engine specifications. , be The oil pump has a great deal more to do in the case of an airplane motor than in the car’s power plant. Whereas the latter is doing its work thoroughly if it is working up a pressure of 40 pounds to the square inch jn ordinary Operation, the former must produce from 50 to 100 pounds. — Another difference between the two engines is that that of the airplane calls for a lubricant of a héavier body. —ooooOoCo)jjj—>S_—es——— ern parts of Sweden, flying at night and under severe winter weather con- ditions, In 1927 he was selected as the Swedish =representative to go through the course of instruction at the Central Flying School in England, A rescue thrilled the world erably improved by the adoption of} LC A CL LET SR = PASSENGER TRAFFIC GRING 420 PER CENT Mileage Flown Increased 100 Per Cent in 1928, Com- pared With 1927. air passenger traffic during the previous year. passengers last year. aggregating 6,451 miles, the chamber presents. total of 2,151 miles. “This tremendous incfease was air mail poundage.

Among those who are watching with interest the increasing number of air- planes passing overhead are many who give a thought now and then to. the fuel which is used in aircraft engines. Among these are a number who think the fuel must be alcohol or some other highly volatile substance. ' For the most part, it is gasoline, of a good grade, of course. Alcohol and al- cohol-gasoline mixtures or blends have. been used in the past, but they have been found to have their limitations in addition to that of scarcity and rel- atively high price. For instance, alco- hol having only slightly more than half eceer (atte! thousands..... the heat value of gasoline will take a Plane only half as far for the same weight of fuel.

I did not lend my assist- ance or congratulations. Instead, ac- cording to your ideas, I “broke my Mmar- riage vows,” for I ordered him out, and I didn’t care if he jumped off the dock. He didn’t have a dime and I knew it, but it didn’t worry me any. He was fat enough to hibernate and live with- out food for six months. And what happened? Within a week he had a job, and has worked at it ever since, a man who hadn’t done a full month’s work in twelve years. My one regret is the years I kept him and loathed the sight of him and his “lame back.” His lame back hasn't bothered him since! It is high time that women began to deal with men as they need to be dealt with, and high time you crazy-in-the- head writers were all shipped some- where to try out your crazy-in-the- head ideas. I know I’ve wasted my time writing this as you will naturally not print it, but I’ve got something out of my sys- tem and I feel a lot better, “THE LANDLADY.” Glad you are feeling better. The column and the columnist have not lived in vain! But to be serious, there is no parallel between your case and the case you quote. You did exactly right in ridd yourself of the man you describe. Bu the couple I was advising love each other and are both heart-broken over what has happened. They were “happy as children,” according-to the wife. Why, then, should some passing stranger be permitted to spoil all the rest of life for them? Crazy or not crazy, I think the wife should remain a wife, and work at the job of being one. be -—- oe know why Buick is winning more than twice as many buyers as any other car priced above $1200!

Problem No. 305, two-mover, by Mr Mclivane, yields to both Q—KR6 and R—R2. The majority of the solvers found both keys. Among those sending in solutions were J. W. Harris, Vincent L. Eaton, Jacob Frech, Hillman C. Har- ris, Daniel Breeskin, Jackie Breeskin. A. Y Hesse, P. L. Reed. Clair J Bressler, Forrest V. Wheeler, Col. J. W. Joyes, F. B. Walker and Hon. Roy G. Fitzgerald, of Ohio. Daniel Breeskin writes: “When |! looked at your problem No. 305, I solved it as Q—KR6. When my son Jackie (8 years old) studied it, he solved it as R—QR2. On the surface botlt so- lutions appear to be correct.” Jacob Frech comments, “An ade- quate preliminary time-saving middle term for 305 can be quickly discov- ered by inspection, viz.: A problem in which black K (on @Q5) can move at least along Q file (—Q6); a file equally safely commandable only from Q2 either by R (via only R2) or by @ via only KR6). This middle term instant- ly indicates the conclusion that if the problem is a two-mover, at least R—R2 and Q@—KRé6 are key moves. Trial soon proves that it is a two-mover and that they are the only keys. The only func- tion of the white R is to serve as a duplicate key.” Today's offering is a three-mover by Mr. McIlvane. which we trust will meet with more success than have a few of his two-movers which have appeared recently. We acknowledge the receipt of a se- ries of two and three move problems by Vincent L. Eaton and a two-mover by Hillman C. Harris. We request that Mr. Eaton inform us whether his problems have been previously pub- lished or if their appearance in The Post will mark their first. PROBLEM NO. 306. By John A.

THE MIXER HAS IMPORTANT JOB IN THE STUDIO The “mixer” is a calm, cool, unhur- ried gentleman who sits in 4 glass cage all day long with headphones on his ears. His is one of the most important tasks in the “talkies.” He adjusts the sounds that are picked up by the sensi- tive microphones. before said sounds can reach the recording instruments in a nearby bullding. He works partly by ihtuition, but al- ways he must be a jump or two ahead of the actor—or the scene is spoiled. Properly recording a single voice 1s difficult enough, but) when a half- dozen principals are speaking, from different positions ahd at different angles, and when a whole mob of ex- tras is on the scene, the “mixer’s” task is not to be envied. At First National Studips recently these sound experts found plenty of varied and difficult work. © Actors and actresses of a dozen na- tionalities and scores of Chinese ex- tras talked or jabbered, as the case might be, on the “Careers” set where Billie Dove is making this dramatic story of Cochin-China; The deep bass voice of Noah Beery and the soprano tones of Carmel Myers’ voice as she sang before the microphone, varied with the voice of the star, and the Chinese conversation of §o0-Jin and dozens of his countrymen. A task to try any “mixer’s” art! Mervyn LeRoy, directffig Alice White in “Broadway Babies,” had 50 chorus girls in their dressing room, and then on the stage of a huge theater for scenes in this story of the gay White Way. The chatter of 50 girls in a smal] room is in itself no small strain on the “mike” and on the “mike’s” boss, the “mixer.” A third task was out in the open air, in front of a theater building where the evening rush was on for tickets. This was for “The Girl in the Glass Cage,” directed by Ralph Dawson, and with Lucien Littlefield, Ralph Lewis, Carroll Nye, George Stone and other favorites in the cast. | Another tricky stunt for the “mixer.” New problems are met each day by these experts as they sit at their com- plicated switchboard in the glass cages and regulate the flow of voices and sounds while the cameras shoot. ‘In the new techniqué of the screen, which has revolutionized the industry in a little more than a year; they have played an important part. . 66 Master Skylark.’’ The Junior Theater at Wardman Park. is giving the play of “Master Skylark” this week-end, with matinee Friday, at 3:30, Saturday at 2:30, and perform- ances both evenings at 8:15. Mildred Natwick plays the title role. Peyton Thorne, Henry Fonda and Kent Smith have important parte, and Kay Conway is the boy’s mother. a2 an ee ae o f T r < * 4 A 2S rH TO FOURTH THE NOVEL ART THAT PROVIDES BOGUS REALISM To look more like @ horse than a horse is still a low form of humor, but to sound more like a cow than a cow is altogether a possibility in the making of Vitaphone pictures. The science of “acoustic equivalents” is a new and important off+shoot of the new art of making talking pictures. Many sounds are not possible to secure naturally at a given time in a given lace, as noted in the example of a cow’s call for its calf. and some noises do not sound like themselves when strained through a microphone and reproduced on the discs. Consequently, a department for the development and reproduction of vari- ous sounds has become a vital necessity in every studio which is keeping step with the current demand for talking pictures, and this department is just now one of the most active places at First National. Starting with a trap drummer’s equipment and the _ well-remembered stage sound-makers, such as silk wind- machines, aeroplane propellers and coconut horse-noofs, the noise experts have added daily to the odd machine and freak equipment that will repro- duce, upon demand, any kind or quan- tity of sound. For all kinds and degrees of sounds are demanded in an extensive program of Vitaphone production guch as First National is proViding. Beginning with the dramatic and spectacular seund effects that helped make Colleen Moore’s “Lilac Time” the success that it was, and continuing through the production of Corinne Griffith’s “The Divine Lady;” Richard Barthelmess’ “Weary River;” Milton Sills’ “Love and the Devil,” and many other recent highly successful .Vitaphone feature pictures, the synthetic sound makers, known technically as the department of acoustic equivalents, have met the most exacting demands for different sound effects. Almost every unusual sound must be modified or amplified, or even changed entirely, for use in talking pictures. A dog’s bark, even if properly timed in the picture, is too sharp to reproduce correctly. Shots near the microphone damage the reproducing equipment, and have to be properly muffled and distanced. An approaching train makes @ distinct kind of sound which an expert trap drummer can reproduce for thé Vitaphone perfectly, but a, real train passing a microphone produces only a great roar. The natural sounds of the great out- doors become distorted by distance and counter air-currents, and do not reg- ister like themselves. In talking pic- tures, the reproduction of these un- usual noises is actually more nearly correct than the unusual pjolses them- selves. Thus nature is outdone by a trap drummer, and it is perfectly pos- sible to sound more like a cow than & COW. et eee ee ae ee a eae + Boe RE oo ROR LUCREZIA BORI, as Manon with the Metro- politan Opera Company, to be heard at Polt’s April 17.

A modern costume for the same type of use, “Mother” said, could be made with a scant 4 yards of materials. “To say nothing of the underthings,” sighed the wardrobe overseer. modern girl’s scanties would weigh about 8 ounces.

BELGIAN BAND — TO PLAY HERE NEXT FRIDAY Making its first American tour, the Symphonic Band of the Roya) Beigian Guards is announced for a concert in Washington at Poli’s Theater next Fri- day afternoon, March 22, at 4:30 o’clock, under the local management of Mrs. Wilson-Greene. The band will be under the personal direction and leadership of its renowned conductor, Capt. Arthur Prevost. The Symphonic Band of the Roya! Belgian Guards is nearly 100 years old, having its origin in the musical unit that. was organized in connection with the Regiment des Guides during the Belgian war of independence. Ambroise Thomas expressed his admiration of the band as early as 1832 and since then it has been praised by many noted composers. Among contem mas- ters who have endorsed the skill and artistry of the band are Vincent d’Indy. Pierre, Casella, Prokofieff, Bartok, Stra- vinsky, Schmitt, Respighi, Honagger and Ysaye. e The Symphonic Band of the Royal Belgian Guards is its first trip to the United States and Canada and is coming with the special permission of King Albert. The band arrives in New York today and will immediately begin a transcontinental tour which will take it to more than 60 of the cities in the United States and Canada. Although no announcement ha: been made concerning the program that Capt. Prevost has selected for the Washington concert next Friday, it is known that this band possesses a reper- “The | tasias toire of orchestral and organ music hat is extraordinary, all of which has ween transcribed for band instrumen- tation by ite talented leader, Among the orchestral works in the band’s repertoire are Beethoven's “Eroica” Symphony, the D minor sym- phony of Pranck, the “Scotch” and “Reformation” symphonies of Mendels- sohn, the “Till Zulenspiegel” of Rich ard Strauss, Stravinsky's ballet suite, Rome,” Casella’s “The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The organ works which Capt. Prevost has transcribed for the band include Caesar Messe de Minuit.” ° @¢ 7. Visits Friends. An erstwhile National Theater Play-~ er, Karl Neilsen, came through Wash- ington from Birminguam, Ala., the other day and stopped off long enough to visit with the troupe and to see them play one performance. “I still think they are the ‘est in the busi- ness,” he confided.

Surpassing Wonder, Set Down With Profound Re- spect for an Imposing Character. It is the first that it has fallen on Sunday. Us- ually it comes on Tuesday or Friday. to Christmas, it is perhaps the most popular feast day in the calendar.

From untold myriads of homes will be flown a green flag wondong a harp of gold. All in reverence and for one of the most remarkable men his. prayers, and the virtue of the staff of Jesus which he bore in his hand. “Gerald Barry, who wrote some years later, in the beginning of the thirteenth cen- tury, refers to the same popular belief as al- most universal, He hjmself, however, does not attribute the absence of all poisonous rep- tiles to the power of Patrick and his crozier. He says rather that it is due to certain prop- erties in the gir and in the soil of the land which render it fatal to all venomous things; and he quotes Venerable Bede, who wrote in Patrick’s birth was a part of Britain. sus of Er in DAVID RANKIN ‘ from Ireland, that Solinus, who wrote several hundred years before the arrival of St. Pat- rick in Ireland, notices Ireland’s exemption from reptiles.” ‘If an Indian fakir can charm snakes witb h{s penny whistle and make them follow him wherever he leads, why could not St. Patrick do the same with his drum? You'll never ge this. legend out of Ireland. 3 ‘The most authentic record we have of St. Patrick is contained in a book he wrote, which he called “Confessions,” and which Sir Samuel Ferguson, an authority, says is “the oldest document,in British history.” He dees not give the date of his birth @#or the place of his nativity. The year, the month abd the day are shrouded in mystery. The year has varied from 373 to 396 A. D., but sq vividly did he write his deeds in the hearts of the Irish people it seems as if he died but yésterday. ‘He tells us in the “Confessions” where his father lived, and it is correctly assumed that where the father lived the son was born. We kgow the name of the father and his busi- n@ss and the name of his grandfather and his business, but beyond that all is tradition, Patrick’s own account of this is in these words: “IT, Patrick, a sinner, the rudest and the least of all the faithful, and most contempt- ible to very many, had for my father Cal- pernius, a deacon, a son of Potitus, a pres- byter, who dwelt in the village of Bannavem Taberniae, for he had a small: farm hard by the place. I was taken captive. I was nearly 16 years of age. I did not know the true God, and I was taken to Ireland in captivity with so many thousand men in accordance with our deserts, because we departed from * Ged.” ‘Historians and antiquarians have located _ Bannavem Tiberniate as being near Dum- barton, on the Clyde, which at the time of Four If he wasn’t a twin, sure, our history will show That at least he is worth two saints that we know. Then they all got blind drunk, which completed their bliss, And we kept up the practice from that day to “his. Patrick’s father and his grandfather were clergymen, and the father in addition to being a small farmer was also a Roman mag- istrate. Of the mother of the most noted of his race nothing’ is positively known. Tradi- tion says she wag a French woman, sister of Martin, Archbishop of Tours, who founded the monasteries in Western Europe. Her name, Conchessa, has come down to us, and it is said that she was a superior woman. Dr. McGlinn contests this line of ancestry. He says that Patrick’s father was German, his mother French, and he a Scotchman by birth and an Irishman by adoption. Still an- other authority says that the mother was a Briton. Calpornius, the father, is said by some high authorities to have been a Roman, by others a Gaul and by others a Briton. As England was at that time a Roman province, it is thought by some that he was a Roman noble. In the Epistle to Coroticus, who was a Roman ruler, St, Patrick refers to this when he says: “I was of honorable birth according to the flesh, my father being a Decurion. For I gave up my nobility. I do not blush on that account, neither do I regret it, as I did it for the benefit of others.” By embracing Christianity he had to surrender his civil rights, is the interpretation placed on this passage. In such a.vhousehold in which he was born it was natura] that he should be baptized in infancy, and of that important event we have two interesting stories. One tells us that his father carried the infant to the grandfather who took him in his arms.and blessed him and then sprinkled the sacred water on_his head, dedicating him to the service of the Lord. On this occasion he was given the much‘about his spiritual condition. was that he surrendered himself to the heavenly vision. 7 ‘‘While I was feeding cattle,” he writes, “I prayed frequently every day, and my love and fear of God and faith in him continually in- creased. I dwelt in the woods and on the mountains, and woke up to pray before the dawn, I felt no pain, nor frost, nor snow, nor rain, nor any sense of indolence, for the spirit was burning within me.”’ Laymen can hot understand such an expe- rience. It has come to but few men, St. Paul ‘had it, Francis Xavier, the noted Jesuit mis- sionary, had it, and so did John Knox and Martin Luther and Wesley, and Moody and William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. They were all praying men and they all dreamed dreams and they got their com- mission from the visions that came to them. His escape from captivity came through a dream, one of those realistic incidents that laymen find it so hard to believe and that scientists discard because they partake of the supernatural. Patrick had a dream like Joseph’s. “And there (on the mountain side) one night in my sleep I. heard a voice saying to me, ‘Thou fastest well, thou shalt surely go to thy country.” And again, after a very short time, I heard a response saying to me, ‘Behold thy ship is ready.’ And it was not near, but perhaps 200 miles away, and I never hdd been there, nor was 1 acquainted with any of.the men there.”’ ee This dream was repeated, he says, night after night, until he became convinced that it surely was God who talked to him and directed him: to cast off his bonds and flee. So he did as he was told in his dreams. He fled to the seacoast, and when he arrived there, sure enough, there was the ship wait- ing for him. The captain would not take him aboard because he had no money, so he went into the woods and prayed somé more, and while he was praying the sailors came after Then it began to preach. Ne ‘panions ing for which they cried! Again, on ano night—I know not, God knoweth, whether was me or not—I heard distinctly wor which I could not understand except these the close ‘He who gave his life for thee ie who speaketh in thee,’ joicing.” Nothing could now like St. Paul, was not heavenly vision. = He reached the southeast coast of Ireland 3 and the moment his foot touched Irish soil! nor his co carried pure nei moagey nor food, and that he lived in Ireland cent of pay and when he than when he came into 2 His first convert was a strong man Sinell, St, Patrick was knew the importance of of the rulers of the co remarkable that his preachers _ ‘ruling classes, This is And so | awokeire- ‘ ; $ the o9 ee ie ; 5 ; J e t “d . ear a ae un" ; é , —~ aft u 4 hi Te ee bis 5 a ba te deitbins nik NPE aS : Sere!

How utterly 1! We know St. Patrick lived and wrought mightily, as this writing shal] tell.

They mock at his fingers lighting up, at his rais- man from the dead, at his gathering or fagots and saying that God would make | burn; at a horse speaking to him, returning a lamb it had stolen. These same mockers will sit with wide- open mouths in a theater and see a chemist make ice flame up or turn a gas flame into fce (it is actually now being done commer- cially and sold in households as a refriger- ating plant); or a physicist light up one hand and make the thread of light run like jagged lightning all over his body: or a ventriloquist make a dumb, inanimate block of wood in — ® the shape of a human talk or laugh with a keener sense of wit than most of us show. As for raising people from the dead, that is the easiest thing firemen nowadays do with their pulmoters. And if we can believe that a she wolf was the mother of a great nation that for 1,000 years was mistress of the world, is it any tax on our credulity be- lieve that even a wolf could repent of its sins and bring back to the fold a lamb it had stolen? | A Similar legends have gathered about every great man. We find our own history crowded _ with them. Washington is a man of myth * and the Lincoln legends are so numerous that they obscure the character and great deeds of the mas. Why, then, should any one turn up his nose at one who fn his own day and in his own way was as mighty a man 4s Washington or Lincoln? 7 The truthful things we kndw about St. Patrick, things which are to be found in his writings, in all of his biographies, whether written by Catholic or Protestant, are more wonderful than any of the miracles, ao-called, attributed to him. He entered Ire- land a slave and found it to be as pagan as any land ever was.

For wor reason it is not without interest, Here 8: “Patrick went to a mountain now called Croagh-Patrick, on the western coast of Con- naught, and is said to have gathered there the several tribes of serpents and venomous creatures, and to have driven them headlong, by the beating of a drum, into the westeru ocean, and no poisonous reptile hasbeen seen in Ireland since. This is the legend that is so intimately connected with St. Patrick’s name. There is quite an uncertainty as to the cause of the absence of snakes, etc., in Ireland. Some think that the prevalent growth of the shamrock in Ireland is the cause there of the absence of snakes, Pliny in his ‘Natural His- tory,’ says that serpents are never seen on trefoil, and that the leaves of the’ plant will. cure the ngs of common reptiles. Other naturalists have asserted that serpents and trefoil are never found together, Scientists —s — there is ogiempnes showing that snakes ve at any time existed upon the Irish isle. There are very few snakes of any species in Great Britain. The character of the country may have something to do with it, but it is probably largely. due to the fact that islands, but. few of the species reached them, It should be known, in order te counteract the foolish legend about St. Patrick’s banishing all poisonous reptiles patrick, which to this day claims to be the birthplace of St. Patrick, for it bears his illustrious name. Kil is Scotch gaelic for kirk, and so the town is Patrick’s kirk or church. Science nor history clears up for us the rpeasoh why we celebrate March 17 as St. Patrick’s anniversary. In one place we arg told that some one wrote at the end of the “Confessions” that date and signified that it was the genuine one. Around this date controversy has raged and no doubt will continue to rage to the end of the term, It was kicking up the waves of discussion dur- ing the lifettme of Samuel Lover, the Irish jpoet, who decided the matter in this witty verse: On thé eighth of Match it was, some people say. That St. Patrick at midnight he first saw the day; While others declare ’twas the ninth he was born, And ‘twas all a mistake, between midnight and morn; For mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock, _ And same blamed the baby and some blamed tae ¢lock; Till, with all their cross-questions, sure, no one could know If a child was too fast or the clock was too slow. ‘Now the first faction fight in ould Irleland, they gay, . Was “ on account of St. Patrick’s birthdzy; ‘Some fought for the eighth, for the ninth more | would die, And who wouldn't see right, sure, they blackened bis eye! At last both the factions so positive grew, ‘Till each kept a birthday, so Patrick then had two, Till Father Mulcahey, who showed them their sins, | Said no one could have two birthdays but a pair of twins, ‘Says he. “Boys, don’t be fighting for eight or for | Hine ' ‘Don't always dividing, but sometimes combine, Combine eight with nine, and seventeen is ihe gt 5 '@e let that be his birthday.” “Amen,” said the ' clerk. name of Succath, which was happily after- ward changed to Patrick. The second story tells us that ‘*Patrick was baptized by a blind priest who obtained water for the purpose by causing the infant to make the sign of the cross over the earth, out of which issued at once a well of living water which. cured the priest of his blindness and enabled him to read in a book the order or ritual of baptism without knowing until then his letters.” Much mysticism attaches to the life of St. Patrick and is recorded in his own writings, so it should not all be discarded as fabulous. Of his childhood nothing is known, any more than we know aught of the childhood of Moses, or Joseph or the Christ child. But as his life runs so nearly parallel to that of the favorite son of Jacob and his dearly beloved Rachel, it is accepted as a fact that he was properly trained and educated in the schools available to him and in one of which his father taught. They were crude, it is true, with the Holy Bible as the chief textbook, but many a man has been educated on that book, Lincoln, it is said, got much of his intellectual training from it. From 16 years until his death at a great age (120 years) we have a pretty complete record of St. Patrick’s life. Pirates seized him and 200 others and carried them by force to Ireland, where they were sold into slavery. They landed on the Antrim coast near the Giants Causeway, a spot that was again to play a part in his life. For six years, as the slave of Milchu, son of Hua Bain, an Irish King, Patrick herded cattle and fed swine. His associates were pagan Irish, idolators, who worshiped at the shrines erected by the Druids. It was during this period of his life that he began to dream dreams and have visions, just as Joseph did in his prison in Egypt. He was homesick and heartsick, and he tells us that he reviewed his whole Nfe and thought é % him and took lhiin «nu beard and he was carried back home. Unlike the story of the prodigal son as we have it in the Bible, Patrick’s story does not tell us how he was received at home. Surely they killed the fatted calf for him and put the best robe on him, for this their son which was lost was found. The next few years were the final years of preparation for his great work of redeeming Ireland from heathenism and idolatry. They ' were spent im Scotland with his family. Though he was 22 when he came home he took up his studies and prosecuted them se- verely. He thought but poorly of his educa- tion. “I have not read like others,” he says, ‘“‘who, being taught in the best way, therefore rightly, both drank in the customary learning in a proper manner and have never changed their language from childhood.” It is worthy of note that his is the only writing of his age that survived the changes of that restless time, and they are monuments to his scholar- ship. His old habit of seeing things and dream- ing dreams came back on him and he records many nocturnal! visits and conversations with the Lord. In one of them the Macedonian cry came to him. It was the missionary cal! to Ireland, where he was to win immortal re- nown and to do a work that will carry his name to the end of recorded time. “In the dead of night,’”’ he writes, “I saw a@ man con- ing to me as if from Ireland, whose name was Victorious, bearing innumerable epistles, and he gave me one of them, and I read the be- ginning of it, which contained the words, ‘The voice of the Irish,’ and while repeating them I imagined that I heard in my mind the voice of those who were near the wood of Fochet, which is near the western sea. Thus they cried; ‘We pray thee, holy youth, to come and henceforth walk among us.’ I was pierced in the heart and could read no more; and sv I awoke.

That was the chief court in Ireland, and its king was the mo influential man among the Irish. If Patric! could convert him it would make his pathwa easier. The King of Tara fell under the ape of his preaching and was‘converted. He was not the first of the Irish kings to become a meter a but he was the biggest fish in the pond. Here at Tara it was that occurred that beautiful incident that tradition has brought down to us, an incident that gave Ireland the shamrock as its national emblem. Pat- rick was preaching on the doctrine of the trinity. “How can three be one?” asked a pagan chief. Patrick reached down and plucked a three-leaf clover and, holding it up, said: “Behold three yet one. Behold in this trefoliate leaf how the three persons in the God-head can exist and yet be one.” ‘The chief beheld and believed, and he and his whole clan were baptized. From Tara St. Patrick went to Conna where he taught and preached for seven years. Hefe he converted two of the daugh- ters of the king, who had been sent to the Druid priests to be educated, and here he is said by tradition to have worked the miracle of the snakes. The modern conception of St. Patrick is not that he was a miracle worker, but a simple, earnest, inspired gospel preacher, who wrought a mighty work in freeing the minds and hearts of the Irish people from paganism and superstition. He found Ireland ignorant, uneducated, steeped in idolatry, living like savages. He left her the best educated na- tion of Europe, the most nearly Christian- ized, with the most advanced civilization, her learning the most extended and refined. We are told by the careful historian that students from every country in Europe flocked to Ire- land to attend her schools founded by St. Patrick, and that she was the nursery of patriots. Wherever Patrick put his foot down he built a church and set up a school. When he died he had built 365 churches, over which he set 365 bishops. All of this he did in 60 years, with the Bible and its gospel message. Surely no small labor, certainly a’ very great accomplishment. What manner of man was he that could do this, this former slave boy? He had a fine personal appearance, a powerful intellect and a high order of eloquence. His wisdom and prudence were conspicuous, A lover of learn- ing, he established educational and theologi- cal schools. His perseverance was remark- able; he was a man of great courage and possessed unusual magnetism. His very name is the synonym of an Irishman. He was dis- tinguished for his modesty, for simple hon- esty and unworldly spirit, and he detested dishonesty. The genuine missionary moved him, and his constant ‘cry was, “I am ready to lay down my life for Ireland.” This was John Knox’s cry: “Give me Scotland or I die.”” It was to reverberate through Burope ten centuries later, when Francis Xavier, the great Jesuit missionary, cried out: “Give me souls for Jesus Christ” as he took ship for In- dia, where he was to die a lonely death. St. Patrick could not have done his great work if he had not had faith in God and faith in the Irish people and if he had not known the Irish tongue, which he learned on Irish hills while tending Irish herds. But most of all, he was a giant in the Scriptures. and he belieevd in his visions and dreams. A mighty man, one of the wonders of the Bu- man race, was this patron saint of the ifttle Emerald Isle. _ 7 io at ee ee mp hy apr > pie Ard agate nae re a 2 x ey ae Y. ; Day Mes vou ¥, ¥ en WP ae: or es a A - vy ; f ett f Wg amore.

It was agreed that while Count Imberg undoubtedly was a born aristo- cret he was the most democratic among the rep- resentatives of a former feudal regime.

Ticker tape im endless waves streamed down from the tall s and flaked the streets until it seemed platoons, and whole companies charge them and go down like ripe corn before the reaper’s blade.

Yet it was done. Therefore, it could be done and it Was human. It was one of the best documented stories of the war.

They Tennessee, I resolved to swing into the mountains to visit York in his own home. I wanted to see him in his mountain setting, “in that thar coun- try whar I belong.” I wanted to know how he was faring in his seclusion, “far from the madding crowd,” that had once so worshipfully acclaimed him. I wanted to get the feel of the man, the sol- dier, the mountaineer, the hunter, the preacher, the American. I had no thought at that time of writing with him his story. I just wanted to 6at- isfy a personal urge, so deep-stirring that it had been part of me since that memorable day when much gusto dreams for the future—but vf life and men and nature and rifles and dogs and hunting and chil- dren. When chore time came his brothers slipped unnoticed out of the house, and the sergeant and I continued talking until long after dusk had set- tled over the valley. He invited me to stay around the countrv for several weeks so as “to git ac- quainted.” He would show me around, tramp me through the woods with “them thar hound dogs of mine,” take me out bee-hiving way up there on “Peevy Mountain,” overlooking his farm, and perhaps arrange a shooting match in his own 80 knowed and wanted to meet me | mussed up about it.

The returning doughboys guaranteed that it was true, every word of it, and there were the medals and other decorations on his chest for all the world to see. More stories had poured forth of his exotic mountain background, his deadly skill with rifle and pistol, his amazing knowledge of woodcrift, his tender solicitude for the American wounded during the battle in the Argonne, his chivalrous treatment of the German prisoners, his great piety, and, most unbelievable of all, his having Priginally been a conscientious objector!

They revisited the battlefield and checked up the account of the battle the following morn- ing amd again after the armistice. Their report was thorough and convincing: The story has been carefully checked in every possible detail from headquarters of this division and is entirely substantiated. Sergt. York’s own statement tends to under- estimate the desperate odds which he over- come. - And there was the Medal of Honor awarded by a special act of Congress. No wonder that New York, after one glimpse at this sturdy and freckle- face mountaineer with his flaming red hair, went wild with ecstasy. The following morning I chuckled when I read in the newspapers that “he weren't a-going to commercialize his fame nohow. He weren't a- going on the stage or in the movies, but he sure would like to ride in the subways.” It was the language of the mountaineer and the soldier, direct and decisive, and also of the boy, eager to play and see the wonder works of the world. More than ten years have fled since then. The world has returned to its normal every-day tasks Meanwhile, Sergt. York has slipped back to “the little old log cabin in the mountains and them- thar hound dogs of mine and the life whar I belong.” Now and then there would be brief mention of him in some newspaper of a lecture he had given in this and that city, of his interest in building schools and roads in the mountain country, and of his efforts to lead his people to some of the finer things in life. Once in a while some one would reteil in a magazine story of his Argonne fight. But that was all Even his famous war diary, of which much has been writen, has not, save for occasional excerpts, been put into print. The man himself has remained a mystery, possibly because he had already become a legend. NEW TOWNS SPRING UP UNDAUNTED BY FLOODS IAMI, FLA. (U.P.).—New towns have sprung 4 almest overnight to replace those which were destroyed near Lake Okeecho- bee by the hurricane flood of September 18, 1928. Save for the once ubiquitous saloon which marked the wild and woolly West and the Alaska gold rush, and which is lacking in the Everglades, these towns suggest the settlements of a frontier era. On every extends a vast, unsettled prairie, broken along the few roads and near the settle- ments by huge, green fields of beans, potatoes or sugar cane. Plorida’s black gold, the soil of the Everglades, is like gold in that its lure is irresistible, even in the face of danger, even in the possibility of an- other destructive hurricane flood. This rich muck of years. ‘The little hamiet of Belle Glade, which was com- pletely wiped out by the vast wall of water which hurricane of September 18, last, blew from lake, has risen again, despite the fact that it ‘the scene of great loss of life. A number of It is this rush to the land, despite the hurricane flood at Moorehaven in 1926, and the more recent and disastrous fiood of 1928, that gives reason for urgency in measures to control the floods of un- ruly Lake Okeechobee. | It was through this fertile Ploridian frontier that President-elect Hoover, Maj. Gen. Jadwin, Gov. Carlton of Florida and their entourage of ex- perts, newspaper men and photographers passed a few weeks ago over roads of dry muck which rose in black clouds behind the motorcade. The settlers are betting that another hurricane will not spill the lake upon their farms next fall, They are filling up the country which was devas- tated. Indeed, much of it is already filled up, and large areas of new land have been or are being brought under cultivation along the southern borders of the lake. Around South Bay, shattered homes, which the water carried back to the dunes, tell the story of the hurricane, but in areas where the storm made a clean sweep everything is new. Trucks line the roads; caterpillar tractors.are seen plowing up the rich land like persistent beetles. The settlers are praying that the Government will help them and, from information that has filtered to them, they believe it will. One of the engineers is said to have suggested a type of con- crete dykes, 31 feet above sea level, which he thought might well be built along the edge of the lake as a protection to the settlers in the adjoin-- ing lands and also to prevent the floods from Okeechobee from sweeping to the lower lands of the glades. Even the most casual observations of the ex- perts, which are by no means to be accepted as official dicta, have been picked up like the sig- nals from an African war drum and, whether cor-| rectly reported or not, have inspired great hopes throughout the glades region. The Government, however, is not primarily in- terested in the reclamation of the Florida Ever- giades. This duty it passed over to Florida in 1850, when public swamp lands were ceded to the various States, Florida among others, on condition that the States reclaim them for agriculture. But the Government is interested in the flood control of the lake and in the maintenance of navigation thereon. ‘ | ? | I saw him in New York on his return from France. Several months later, after an exchange of let- ters with Sergt. York, I received an invitation from him .. come to the mountains again and be his guest for a few weeks. “Come right on down here,” he wrote, “and I’m a-telling you we will show you what mountain hospitality is like.” The sergeant lives on the big farm which the Rotary Club o” his native State purchased for him He himself built his house, a square, two-story ‘frame building, with large windows, a spacious ‘porch, and two gigantic firerlaces—a solid, com- fortable dwelling place almost on the edge of Wolf River and within hearing distance of the roar of the mill dam, The sergent himself, bv his sheer size, seemed to overshadow all the other members of the house of York. He’s the largest of the sons. de stands over 6 feet in his socks. He is easily the outstand- Ing personality in the house of York. He would Ihave been that without his war record, if only for his colorful career in the mountains prior to the war. He was clean shaven, with a neatly trimmed moustache, as red as the hair on his head, and with the flush of a healthy child in his full cheeks. As he advanced ‘o greet me I noticed for the first time that he walks with a firm tread, bearing down with all his weight, first on the heels, and taking jong, measured strides as of a man accustomed to mountain climbing. So individual is this gait of his that it is éasy to recognize him from a dis- tance just by seeing him walk. Through contacts with men of the world Le has acquired a certain outward fineness, almost polish, without, however, losing his movntain manner. He is slow of move- ment, but not awkward. He dresses well on occa- sions. Indeed, in - sult of gray tweed he looks very much like an English country squire. He converses well, too, once he has overcome his shy- ness. He has not lost it all yet, despite his travels and his associations with strangers. Indeed, on first acquaintance he is almost as reticent as his brothers. He has to be led in conversation, but when he warms up to a subject his mountain re- berve leaves him. He never argues in conversation, which doesn’t at all mean that he agrees with Lincoln Treasures in Old Homestead | Lincoln, Ill. (U.P.)—Hidden treasures—letters and documents which were thought to have been of small value -*hen they were stored away ahd made priceless with the passing of the years—are ing brought to light by William W. Latham in the famous old Lincoln home in this city. | Latham, recently went through a number of old newspapers which were left him by his father, Col, Robert R. Latham, a close friend of the Civil War President. These papers related many of the high lights in politics during the struggle between the North and South | During the early eighties the old Latham home- stead was the center of much social activity in that section of the country, and many Presidents, including Lincoln and many other noted states- men, were guests in the Latham home. Now the home is thrown open to the public and attracts many visitors from all parts of the world. The large high ceilings and spacious rooms with their wide walls and beautiful arched passageways fore- tells of the splendor of the age. | The old drawing room has as some of its fur- Rishings a solid rosewood sofa, matching chairs, and a huge organ made also of the same wood.

Robert Latham was assigned the task of tying out the town of Lincoln Mm 1853, and the ld Latham home was constructed three years iter. The town was named for Lincoln by Latham be- pause Lincoln named his son “Robert” for him. incoln often protested calling the town Lincoln, by. he remarked that “Anything called Lincoln ever amounted to a damn.” Lincoln finally con- pnted to heve the town named after him, and in aha so the town was the first to bear his name, thi the only one of several bearing his name to ch he personally consented, woods so that I could see the hill billies come to- gether “with them thar hog rifies of theirs and do some real shooting, busting turkeys’ heads.” Of course, I accepted the invitation. I had to go back to Jamestown, and so late in the evening I bade the sergeant farewell and left, he agreeing to meet me in the morning. It was a quiet night. Not a breath of wind. Nota sti: in the trees. The mountain blurred and blended in the sky. The mill dam back of the sergeant’s house roared in a ceaseless monotone. Cow bells tinkled continu- ously, sometimes in the valley and sometimes far, far away in the mountains. Dogs barked. Other- wise all was quiet in the Yalley of the Three Forks of the Wolf, where lives the most celebrated American soldier of the World War. — Early the following morning I met the sergeant again in the office of the York agricultural Insti- tute. As if moved by common impulse, we piunged headlong into reminiscing of old days at the front. We yarned about camp days, rout marches, dugouts, fox holes, trenches, gas attacks, bayonet charges. In short, we were re-living and re-fighting the stirring days of the war. It was then that I suggested to him that the story of his life be written for publication, This story is told in York’s own way. Great care has been taken to preserve his mountain dia- lect, though it must be remembered that during the past ten years the sergeant has read many books and has met people all over the country, all of which has made his speech more literary than that of the average mountaineer, So this is his own story, told in his own way, and documented with his war diary, his little au- toblography, and the affidavits and statemente of his officers and comrades-in-arms. THE STORY. I ain’t had much of the l’arnin’ that comes out of books. I’m a-trying to overcome that, but it aln’t easy. If ever you let life get the jump on you, you have to keep hiking to catch up with it again and I never knowed the truth of this like I do now. It ain’t my fault. It ain’t nobody's fault. It jes happened. We were most all poor French Build Boats for River Warfare. Paris (U.P.).—The French admiralty has in- vented a new type of warship, a 2,000-ton cruiser carrying its seaplanes and seven-inch cannons, but of such shallow draught that it can go far inland on navigable rivers and shell towns far from the coast. These new warships have been named “dispatch boats for far campaigns,” and in the new naval bullding program which parliament has just voted, there are credits for the construction of two such ships. They are fathered by George Leygues, minister of marine, who has almost single-handed brought the French navy from a very inferior position tu a ranking very well toward the top. The “avisos” are destined primarily for the- de- fense of France’s great colonial empire. They will be put on duty in African waters, and dispatched by wireless to any spot where trouble may break out. Some of the rivers in the African colonies are navigable for hundreds of miles, so that the little cruisers could dash into a trouble area, land a few marines and follow up the foot troops with naval artillery. Since they are to be used principally in the tropics, the ships are built especially for that climate. The entire shell will be doubled with a lining of isolating material, through which air will be forced. This will protect the interior of the ship from the excessive elevations of temperature. Since engine-rooms of steam-driven ships would be unbearable for the crew, the new cruisers will have Deisel motors similar to those on submarines. Special attention is paid in the crews’ quarters, for the comfort and hygiene of the officers and men. ‘These are the first such cruisers to be built in the world. Monumental Book Peping (U.P.).—Manchurian officials, headed by the “young general,” Chang Hseuh-liang, announce that they are financing the publication of one of the largest and most famous books in the world. The book in question is the Szu Ku Chuan Shu, or Chinese literary encyclopedia, a compilation of Chinese classic literature from the beginning of written history down to the Emperor Chien Lung. This monumental work, which was compiled by order of Chien Lung, with the eld of thousands of scholars, exists in only four copies, one of which is in Peping and the other three in Mukden, all of course hand written. The present publication will be the first in printed form. 5 - ‘ . . s,* ~~, ss . . ~ * aan Pat a ° “ae oP! x can get to these schools, too.

MASON (Written for the United Press.) by the Moscow government is the most im- portant action taken by the Bolsheviks since they came into power o demonstrate that they have abandoned their extremist doctrines and are anxious to develop friendly relations with other powers. Trotsky’s exile will considerably strengthen the more conservative groups in Moscow and means that the middle class, bourgeois point of view is to have increasing prominence. Trotsky is still a rabid revolutionist. He sup- ports the doctrine of the absolutism of the work- ing classes in Russia gainst the moderate con- servatism of the Russian peasants. He favors also the continuance of international propaganda by Russia to bring about a communistic world revo- lution in order to suppress all classes except the laboring class, and all of that number, too who do not accept his own leadership. Trotsky considers himself the sole heir of the Lenin tradition, Like Lenin, he has made his mind a vast network of theories. His book knowl- edge is extensive on the subject of communism and capitalism. He has worked out to the small- est detail formulae for a materialistic world, con- trolled by the manual workers. The practical obstacles which have checked the application of this plan in Russia, Trotsky at- tributes to the limited scope allowed him in the fact that Russia is only a part of the world. Hav- ing failed in Russia, he demands coatrol over the entire planet to prove that he is right—or to bring civilization down to destruction. If the latter consequence were to happen, Trotsky would mount the pile of ruins and proclaim that all was well, for the way now was cleared for an entirely fresh start. Stalin, who now controls the Moscow govern- ment and who ordered Trotsky’s expulsion, has been disillusioned by the failure of Bolshevism to make its theoretical plans work. He is attempt- ing to reconcile Russia's communistic activities with some of the ways of western “efficiency” L® TROTSKY’S expulsion from Russia quite evidently at work in the which result from cooperation of labor and capital. He is opposed to international mischief-making, at least in the open, and has a far more dev ) sense of realities than Trotsky. He is not of being considered inconsistent. He always had more practical intuitions than Lenin, and Lenin was suspicious of him on that account. It is questionable, however, whether Stalin is willing to go far enough in his reconciliation policy. He realizes that the Russian peasantry can not be subdued by the town working class, as Trotsky desires... But, at the same time, he must move slowly so that the workers shall not be alienated. His work\in Russia may well be to do no more than prepare the way for the in- evitable abandonment of class rule and then to step aside for those who can create a more con- ciliatory atmosphere. Stalin has more enemies in Russia than. any other man. There are thousands of supporters of Trotsky still in the country and though their power ‘1as been greatly weakened by the exile of their leader, nevertheless, they have underground ways of working. There is a realization, however, among the Russians es sua policy of practicality is the only one promising good re- sults in the near future.

Blankets, bales of cloth, hand mirrors, beads, axes, and all manner of haberdashery and iron- mongery oddments are also used as money. With such things I have paid my fare on a long-distance canoe journey, bought pleces of land and paid for the building of house, materials and all. And a good house it was, too, though made of thatch, having three large rooms and a wide veranda all around, Once I bought a child with them, It was at Cape York, far-north Australia, the scene of my book, “My Crowded Solitude,” and the child was a motherless native boy. Declaring that he couldn’t be bothered to look after a child, his father had decided to kill the little chap, and it was to save ‘1im from this that I purchased him. I called him Fitzherbert, reared him as carefully as I could, and grew to love him. He is still alive and flourishing.

Because of theft I was once left up country en- tlrely without salt and could make no progress until a new supply arrived.

Mr. Jake Ruppegt, pro- prietor of the New York Yankees, knows all about this. Mr. Ruppert was once addicted to the ex- otic sport of breeding St Bernards. He had large numbers of St. Bernards. In fact, one St. Bernard is a large number and anything over that is practically thousatés of St. Bernards. They are a glum breed with tearful brown eyes and are al- ways watering at the mouth. 1 heve heard that they are glum and wa- tery mouthed because in Switzerland, where they maintain their official residence, the monks send them out at night with one quart casks of stimulant attached io their collars. The 6&t Bernards do not carry bung-starters and conse- quently can not get at their own stimulants. This may not be the of- ficial explanation, but it seems piausible, at that. Mr. Ruppert is no longer addicted to the sport of breeding St. Bernard dogs, which is a great annual saving in his laundry bills, as the bibs or crying towels necessary to keep these animals dry and comfortable over a period of months runs into money. A few years ago, Der Hoch-Wohlgeborne Colonel had a weanling puppy about the size of your Aunt Frieda’s heifer. a most unpromising brute and with generosity in bulk, and presented the same to a second-rate friend, ~—— BO ES, == SSSsst > . —_ ~~ +se* -~s S tae whe cate cae et ei fee visite ee I ee . * e~- Hs ef * —_ Mr. McGraw sat in the dugout at this tragic moment and wondered whether his ears were actually as long and furry as they felt. At the next New York dog show, or annual con- vention of the Westminster Kennel Club to give it its rightful name, this same elephant walked down the alsle of St. Bernard’s without even bothering to toss a sneer at the colonel’s entries, and won all the blue ribbons in the show. When the good colonel moved into the joint, be heard the weil known murmuring from afar: “O, das ist eip schwell, dog, nicnt,” and “Hoch” and “Wunderbar,” but, when he eased up to take his bow, he dis- covered that the landsmaenner were al) gathered in front of the other guy’s cage. t So the colonel sold off his string of live stock and quit breeding St. Bernards. The colonel also was the one who sold away a pitcher named Urban Shocker, receiving for him three immies, one Boy Scout knife. two fishhooks and a left- shortstop.

When I have counted three I will kill you.” Joe had seen many insane persons, knew well enough the extremes of mental derangement, and he realized that he was locked in this room with an armed, homicidal] maniac. : “One!” 7 The word, spoken with low, ringing delibera- tion, seemed like a stroke of doom. The mad glit- ter in the woman’s eyes was like no earthly thing. She watched him as if searching for some sign of fear—fear that would feed her crazy enjoyment of his plight. She was so implacable, so cold and immovable and determined that Joe did not dare jump to disarm her. He knew that any move'/on his part would but draw instantly the fatal shot; and she was so close that there was only the mer- est chance that she would miss him. “Listen, madam, it was my double who pursued you,” Joe said. “I saw him myself in the lobby. If you will go with me we will arrest him at once.” “Two!” the voman intoned, her lips curling con- tem ptuously. Joe Smith stood perfectly still. began to pound in his head and throat. had the hotel seemed so «.-ill and unpeopled. He could not think of one thing that might save him. Watching the woman’s face, he saw her lips move to frame the word “three”—and in that indescrib- able moment the catch on a roller in one of the windows behind her worked loose and the shade flew up with a clatter that, in the hair-raising atmosphere, split the silence like the fire of a machine gun. The startled woman cowered, half turned. Joe leaped, and with the sureness of fre- lease from that death vise, wrenched the pistols from her white hands. Not until afterward did Joe have time to consider the miracle that had saved him. And it was a miracle that that cur- tain should have let go in the nick of time. Joe attributes it to the luck—the uncanny good luck— that has saved him from death or defeat time and again. And, of course, it may have been luck and nothing more. >. * * But necessarily the detective’s immediate pur- pose then was to get Mrs. Johnson to the insane ward at Bellevue Hospital without causing a dis- turbance in the hotel. Gently, persuasively, he urged her to go with him to the main floor that he might help her find the man who had annoyed her—the mythical double. With the instability of insanity, the idea caught her fancy. Eagerly she grabbed up a small handbag and accompanied him. They stepped out of the elevator into the busy lobby. Suddenly, but without excitement, Jobe whispered that he had seen the man; that the quarry had gone into that “small door over there.” Cautioning her against the possibility of causing confusion that might alarm the man, Joe mah- aged to get Mrs. Johnson through the door, which led into a little private office. In turn he locked the door behind ‘er. Through .nother door that gave on Thirty-fourth street, and with the help of a husky porter, Joe got her out of the hotel and into a taxicab. She protested violently at first and then became sullenly, omirously still. As the cab sped up Fifth avenue on the way to Bellevue Joe saw the insane light rise again in the But the pulse Never WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 1929.

As a general thing, Joe thinks women are more susceptible to this malign influence than men. | A remarkable illustration of the point is the story Joe tells of a well-respected New York woman who still comes. to the hotel. It has a far different denouement. Not so long ago an- other woman, a guest at the Waldorf, came down to breakfast carrying her jewels, worth about 615,- 900, in a chamois bag which she had wrapped in her handkerchief. Having breakfasted, she re- paired to the restroom, put the jewels on the washstand and then walked out without them. A few minutes later she hurried back, but the gems were gone! | The visitor reported the theft or disappearance to Joe and he took her down to the lobby.

He was congratulating him- self on the fact that he had disarmed her when he noticed that she was fussing with the clasp of the hand-~- bag, tugging at it surreptitiously, se- cretively. He snatched it out of her hands—to find in it a third loaded automatic! The husky porter was so upset by the sight that he threw himsef against the cab door and all but plunged to the street. “I would have killed you,” the woman told Joe, as cool and vindictive as though he had sought her life for years. She continued to show her relentless hate for him to the end. While they waited in the office at Bellevue she seized a paper knife and would have driven it into his face had not he, now thoroughly on guard against her, parried the blows and wrest- ed away the impromptu weapon. Later, Joe learned, her family had her placed in a private sanitarium, but to this day the mystery of her inexplicable enmity remain as impenetrable as it was when she first glared at him over her two very businesslike automatics. TILL, Joe felt always that ke understood some- thing of the mental condition that preceded and brought about Mrs. Johnson's strange break- down of mind. He knows from wide experience that present-day hotels present irresistible tempta- tions to many persons. The atmosphere of luxury and freedom, the unlocked room doors that tempt ‘exploration of absent persons’ property. rings and things left in washrooms and elsewhere by care- less persons, and the fact that the tempted one feels he is among strangers whom he well may never see again—all tend to lead ceriain humans to take chances with the law and the proprieties. ing along with her in the corridors and louriges, he instructed her to keep her eyes open and point out to him surreptitiously any one she recognized as having been in the washroom at the time she was there. On the Thirty-third street side of the hdtel, she indicated a woman who had stood be- side her while she washed her hands. The person designated was looking the other way and did nqt notice the detectiveor the owner of the gems. Télling the distraught loser of the jewels to go to} some other part of the hotel, Joe sent a boy for his hat, stick and a newspaper and took a seat near the suspected party. In a short time she was joined by a man for whom she appeared to have been waiting, a well-dressed, eminently reppectable-looking man. They started to leave the hotel and Joe kept close behind them. Just before they reached the door he heard her #ay to the man with her, “I don’t know what's in it, but I’ve got it in my bag.” The man looked at her in polite puzzlement, and she laughed a high, shrill laugh, as though it was all a joke. “Pardon me,” said Joe, stepping in front of her, “but did I understand you to say you found something? I am connected with the hotel.” POh, yes,” she replied, nervously and with flushed cheeks, as she opened her bag. “Here's @ jittle package I picked up in the washroom. I was just going to return it.” goe took the jewels with thanks and no sugges- tiqn in his face or demeanor of the thought in his mind—the thought that the woman was walking directly out of the hotel and not toward the office when he stopped her. She has come often ‘toithe hotel since and does not know, apparently, that to this day he believes that she was, on one oc¢asion, at least, to all intent and purposes, & thief. To his experienced eyes she showed all the signs. She had succumbed, seemingly, to the eerie temptation that seems ever to be waiting for easily tempted persons in great, inconspicuously if thoroughly guarded hotels.

Every hotel detective can testify to the large number of occasions on which he has been called to shadow some couple posing as man and wife and so occupying the same room.’ The prob- lem presented by this situation is delicate and thorny. For the hotel can not afford to get the reputation that it tolerates immorality, no more can it afford to demand that every couple claim- ing to be married ent a marriage certificate, or oust a couple it has superficial reasons to be- lieve are not wedded. In the latter instance the danger that the pair may be married and bring sult for damages to character and reputation is very great, for in such a case the hotel would have practically no defense. In fact, so difficult is the hotel man’s problem in this respect that shrewd crooks have developed @ regular racket out of it, a racket that Joe says has been worked many times, though never at the Waldorf. The racket —— thus wise: A pros- perous looking man, with expensive bags and ap- parel registers and with much cordiality and ease of manner makes friends with the clerk afd hotel people.

NEXT WEEK—Joe Smith at Scotland Yard Before His Waldorf Career, FRANCE PROVIDES PENSIONS FOR 2,500,000 Paris (U.P.).—Almost 2,500,000 inhabitants of France are pensioners of the government, due directly to the World War. The exact figures as reported in the pensions budget for 1929 is .2,464,000, which comprises wounded and disabled soldiers, widows, and the old and young members of soldiers’ families who were dependent on them for support. FPrance’s war invalids total 990,000 for the con- flict of 1914-1918, while the entire number, for all wars and campaigns, dating ag far back es 1870, amounts to 1,030,000. The total number of widows entitled to pen- sions is 625,000; practically all are from the last war, oe sng am members of the family are also mostiy from th: World War, as the grand total is placed at 860,000 France will pay for these pensioned men and women, girls and boys, the grand total of 5,066,- 400,000 francs during 1929 It is notable that among More than 600,000 war widows, 304,500 have not remarried, and of this number 361,500 were widowed in the World War. The disastrous effects of a four years’ war on the family is illustrated by the fact that in the estimates for dependents’ pensions, the total of 860,000 represents simply the number of pen- sion cards allotted, these cards often serving ‘or a small family group. Accordingly the exact num- dependents left by the war, S4- clusive of widows and disabled soldiers, is 1,237,- 000. The big pension ledger of the government thus shows almost 5,000,000,000 francs paid out in regular stated amounts, a few extra millions going for special treatments of disabled and maimed .soldiers still under a doctor’s care, and for specia] tuberculosis cases that have developed among the rank and file of war wounded and their children. This year a speciai increase of 140 per cent Was allotted to the pensions schedule to apply to the sum which the government fixes as a basic fig- ure, on which are added various supplements, authorizing increases and extras according to previous decrees. Some idea of the amounts which French pen- sioners receive is shcwn in the following extracts from the schedule, based invariably on the de- gree of disability, running all the Way from 10 per cent to 100 per cent. The 100 per cent in- valid, who is completely incapacitated, referred to in France as the “grand mutile,” receives from 19,000 to 22,000 francs per year, or from 8750 to $900. One: hundred per cent invalids receive as low as $375 a year, depending on their particular kind of disability, inasmuch as many may be in different circumstances, and some, although 100 per cent invalids, do not require all the hos- pital and nursing care that some unfortunate veterans need Seventy-five per cent Invalid re- ceives lees than $200 annually, a 35 per cent i- valida receives about $60, a 20 per cent invalid gé@> ceitves about $40, and a 10 per cent invalid te+ asives only 542 francs per year, or. a little over $20. — Widows : 1,400 to 2,260 francs, or $50 to $90 a year, an extra 9866 francs. or about $38, for child. fe It is notable that the male invalids of . classes receive an extra allotment for their | dren.

They’re so desperately anx- ious not to be separated; they’re so happy together, Of course, none of that is my doing. It’s their eldest stepsister—o~ whatever you like to call her —Mrs. Wheater’s eldest daughter, Judith, who has kept the six of them together through all the ups and downs of their parents’ matrimonial troubles.

But you needn't be afraid of my kidnaping them.” Her eyes became severe again. “I hope it won't have to come to that; but, of course, I intend to see my husband's children.” | “Oh, all right,” Boyne agreed. He was begin- ning to divine, under her hard mechanical man- ner, something young and untried, something one might still reach and appeal to; and he reflected that the sight of the children would perhaps prove to be the simplest way of reaching it. “The chil- dren are playing in the other room,” he said. “Shall I go and get Bun and Beechy, or do you prefer to see them first with the others?” The Princess said, yes, she thought she would like to see them al] together at their games. “Games have such a profound psychological sig- nificance,” she explained with a smile. | “Well, I'm glad you're going to take them by surprise. It’s always. the best way with children. You'll see what jolly little beggars they are; how they all understand each other: how well they get on together....

CHAPTER XXVII | “Take away my children? Take them away from me?” Judith Wheater had pushed open the door, and stood there, small and pale, in her dripping mackintosh and bedraggled hat. She gave a little jaugh, and her gray eyes measured the stranger with a deliberate and freezing scrutiny. “I don’t in -the least know who you are,” she seid, “but [ know you don’t know what you're talking about. ...” She glanced away to the ravaged gcene, ard the frightened excited faces of the ehildren. “Heavens!

Boyne and Judith sat late in the little sitting room, asking themselves that, after the Princess Buondelmionte had gone It had been Boyne’s idea—and almost his only comtribution to the fi dialogue oetween the two—that the princess uld be invited to re- turn in the evening and share the children’s sup- per. The proposal, seconded by Judith after a swift glance at Boyne, seemed to surprise their visitor. and to disarm her growing ‘nostility. The encounter with Judith had not tended to soften her feelings, and for a moment it jooked as if things were taking a dangerous turn; but Boyne had intervened with the suggestion that the princess, having seen the children at their worst, should be given a chance to meet them in pleas- anter circumstances. He added that he would be glad of another talk with her; and as she did not Jeave till the next day, and was to stay at a hote] near his own, he asked if he might walk back there with her, and fetch her down again for supper. She accepted both suggestions, and after a mollified farewell to Judith, started up the hill with Boyne. He saw that she was still inwardly agitated. and clutching desperately at what remained of her resolution: and he put in a pacifying word in excuse of Judith’s irritability, and assured the princéss that the Wheaters would make’ no difficulty in recognizing the prince’s legal right to his children, The real ques- tion, he went on, was surely quite different; was one of delicacy, of good taste, if you chose to call it- so. Mrs. Wheater had taken in Beechy and Bun when their father was not able to; she had giveri them the same advantages as her own chil- dren (the princess, at this, sounded an ironic murmur), and had shown them the same affec- tion; though all she had done, Boyne hastened to add, was as nothing to the patient unflagging devotion of their step-sister—who technically wasn’t even a step-sister. On that theme Boyne did not have to choose his words. They poured out with a vehemence surprising even to Nimself. The princess, he supposed—whatever her educa- tional theories were—would agree that the tirst s* y - - 7 . o ‘ = , i ee e . * eoptan ie onre Pll Lhd) o- OF ™ =~ a ee eons Li07 ‘a= Pa (4 SORIET Pree mabe. 4 . wr: his 9 > , eae) eee CP Gite inte ee ’ maliaakd eee we Po. ~— — Fe ed ed i ae Gay: , — VA. ad? vt ‘sche borane ¢ “a * q fe? % “Il mean a nawful oath,” Bun explained, with an effort at greater accuracy. “But [ can’t bear to hear children talk about swearing—or about villains either,” his stepmother continued, turning with a reproachful smile to Zinnie, who promptly rejoined: “Then you'ed better not ever have any of your own;” which caused the princess to blush and lower her grave eyes. To hide her constraint she addressed a question to the company in general. “What is this book that you children speak of as Miss Scope’s? The choice of books is so imp-———” None of the younger children could pronounce the name of the book, and they therefore pre- served a respectful silence; but Terry interrupted with a laugh: “Oh, it’s the book that Scopy cures us all out of. It’s called the ‘Cyclopedia of Nursery Remedies.’ ” The princess received this with a dubious frown. “I don't remember a book of that name being used in our courses at Lohengrin; is it a recent publi- cation?” Miss Scope sat rigid and majestic at the oppo- site table end. Thus directly challenged, she re- plied reassuringly: “Dear me, no; it’s been thor- oughly tested. My mother and all my aunts used it in their families. I believe even my grand- mother——” “Even your grandmother? But then the boor must be completely obsolete—and probably very dangerous.” Miss Scope smiled undauntedly. “Oh, I think not. My mother always found it most reliable. We were fourteen in the family, 10 miles from the railway, in Lancashire, and she brought us through all our illnesses on it. In a family of that size one culdn't always be sending for the doctor.” This gave her interlocutor’s dismay a new turn. “Fo en in your family? You don’t mean to say your mother har fourteen children?” Miss Scope replied with undisguised pride that that was what she did mean; and the princess laid down her fork with the air of one about to spring up and do battle against such deplorable abuses. “It’s incredible .. .” she began, then broke off to add in a lower tone: “But I suppose that at that time—” her glance at Miss Scope’s white head seemed to say that the whole business was an : Judith paused a moment, “That depends on what-you mean by best. All 1 want is for us all ‘to stay together.” He led her down the passage and threw open the door of the children’s dining room, On the threshold they were met by a burst of angry voices. Everything in the room was noise and confusion, and the opening of the door re- mained unheeded. In all his experience of the little Wheaters, Boyne had never before seen them engaged in so fierce a conflict: it seemed in- credible that the participants should be only four. Some were screaming, some vituperating, some doing both, and butting at each other, head down. at the same time. The floor was strewn with the wreckage of battle, but the agitated movements of the combatants made the origin of the dispute hard to discover. “God,” Boyne ejaculated, step- ping back. Zinnile’s voicie rose furiously above the others. “It wasn’t me upset the ‘quarium, I swear it wasn't, Blanca—and those two wops know it just as wellasIdo. ...” Bun squealed back: “It was you that tried to bathe Chip’s rabbit in it, you dirty little lying eneak, you” “No, I didn’t, neither; but Nanny don’t never give him enough to drink, 'n so I just ran up and brought him down while Chip was asleep, ‘n if Beechy hadn't gone and butted in——” “You rotten little liar, you, you know you were trying to find out if rabbits can swim.” “No, I wasn't, either. And it was Beechy pushed me \.’gainst the ‘quarium, and you know it Was, «+ s° “"Cos the rabbit was drownding, and Judy’d have killed you if you'd of let it,” Beechy wailed. “She'll kill you anyhow if you call us wops again,” roared Bun. Blanca, reluctantly torn from her study of “The Tatler,” had risen from the stove-corner and was distributing slaps and shakes with a practiced hand. As she turned to the door, and saw Boyne and his visitor on the threshold, her arms dropped to her sides, and she swept the shrieking children into a corner behind her. “Oh, Martin, I'm so sorry! Did you ever see such a pack of savages? They were playing some silly game, and I didin’t realize. ..." She addressed herself to Boyne, but, as usual, it wag the newcomer who fixed her attention. “What will your friend think?’ she murmured with a deprecating glance. Princess Buondelmonte, pale and erect, stood in the doorway and returned her gaze. “I shall think just what I expected to,” she saia coldly. She turned to Boyne, and continued in a trem- bling voicie: “It is just as I was saying; nothing in a child’s education should be left to chance. Games have to be directed even more carefully than studies Telling a child that an older person will kill it seems to me £0 unspeakably wicked. ... This perpetuating of the old mili- tarist instinct. . . . ‘Kill’ is one of the words we have entirely eliminated at Lohengrin. .. .” Still nervously, she addressed herself again to Blanca. “I do hope,” she said, “that the particular little savage who made that threat doesn't happen to be mine——to Prince Buondelmonte’s, I | with a captivated t mean to say you're his new wife?

"I'm afraid that won’t make any difference,” she i. The princess stood drooping her high crest little, as if unused ‘o receiving ‘nstructions from one 60 much smaller and younger than her- self. Boyne remembered how Judith had awed and baffled Mrs. Sellars on their first meeting, nd his heart swelled with irrational hopes. "Judith," he cautioned her, below his breath. | “This way. You'll come too, please, Martin.” She led them down the passage, and into the sit- fing-room. After she had closed the door she ee forward a chair for the Princess Buondel- monte, and said with emphasis: “Perhaps you gon’t know that Mr. Boyne has been appointed the guardian of the children.” -| The princess did not seat herself. She leaned gn the back of the chair, and smiled down at the champion of the little Wheaters. “They seem fo have a great many guardians. I hear you're gne of them, too.” | “Me?” Judith’s eyes widened in astonishment. I’m only their eldest sister. All I do is just to try to look after them.” -| Something in/her accent seemed to touch the princess, who seated herself in the chair on Which she had been leaning, made sure that her skirts did not expose more than a decent extent gf ankle, and began to speak in a friendlier tone. (I'm sure you're perfectly devoted to them—that gll you want is what’s best for them.” | Judith paused a moment, “That depends on what you mean by best. All I want is for us all fo stay together.” | The princess made Yes. | * |But supposing it w 's best for the children?” . pa, saps ws “Oh, but it ts,” said Judith decisively. The gther hesitated, and she pressed on, “Because mobody can possibly love them as much as Mar- tin and Miss Scope and me.” _“T see.

Why do you ask? Because they were having a scrap when you came in? Pid that tussle about a goldfish frighten you? t a sign of comprehension. thing young children needed was to be loved enough; above all, children exposed as they were in the Wheater world, where every new divorce and remarriage thrust them again into unfa- millar surroundings. Through all these changes, Boyne pointed out, Judith had clung to her little flock, loving them and teaching them to love each other; she had even inspired governesses and nurses with her own passionate fidelity, so that in a welter of change the group had remained together, protected and happy. If only, Boyne pleaded, they could be left as they were for a few years longer; perhaps if they could it would be found, when they finally rejoined their respec- tive families, that under Judith’s care they had been better prepared for life than if their par- ents had insisted on separating them. The princess listened atte tively to his argu- ments, but said little in reply; Boyne suspected that she had been taught not to commit herself unless she was on familiar ground, and appar- ently she was unfamiliar with the Kind of plea he made. The sentiments he appealed to seemed to have a sort of romantic ‘nterest for her as feudal ruins might have for an intelligent traveler; but he saw that there were wo words for them in her vocabulary. When they went back to the Pension Rosenzgluh for supper the children, headed by Terry and Blanca, presented a picture of such roseate har- mony that the princess was evidently struck. To complete the impression, Chip, who was always brought down at this hour to say good-night, walked in led by Nanny, placed a confiding palm in the strange lady’s, said “Ho »odoo,” and wound his fingers in her hair, which he pronounced to be “ike Oody’s”—for Chip was beginning to generalize and to coordinate, though his educators could not have put a name to the process, any more than the princess could to the instinctive motions of the heart, Supper, on the whole, was a success. The chil- dren were unusually well behaved; even Zinnie subdued herself to the prevailing tone. Bun and Beechy, seated one on each side of their new step- mother, and visibly awed by her proximity, de- meaned themselves witha restraint which the princess made ceveral timid attempts to break down. It was evident that what she had said about the prohibition of firearms still rankled in Bun, and both children were prim and noncom- mittal, as they always were—to a degree unknown to the others—once their distrust was aroused. The princess, to conceal her embarrassment, dis- coursed volubly about the historic interest of the ancestral palace which her husband had succeeded in repurchasing, and promised Bun that one of its spacious apartments should be fitted up as a modern playroom, in which he would learn to replace his artless antics by the newest feats in scientific nastics. Bun’s eyes glittered; but after a reflective silence he shook his head. “We couldn't.” he said, “not ‘f we wanted to the most awful way; ‘cos we've all sworen ap oath on Scopy’s book that we wouldn’t.” , This solmen self-reminder caused Beechy’s eyes to fill, and Zinnie to cry out: “We'd be damned black-hearted villains if we did!” The princess looked distressed. “What do you mean by swearing an oath, Astcrre?” she asked, pronouncing the words as if they were éxplosives aad myst be handled with caytion. Pome old unhappy far off thing, and she resumed more nopefully: “In the United States such matters will soon be regulated by legislation * * °” She met Miss Scope’s horrified stare, ana glanced nervously about the table as ir realizing that the subject, even at Lohengrin, might hardly be considered suitable for Juvenile ears. To re- lleye her embarrassment she leaned across Bun and addressed herself once more to Zinnie. “You must be Lady Wrench’s little girl, aren't . you, my dear? Only think, I saw your mother the other day in Venice,” she said, in an affable attempt to change the conversation, Zinnie’s face sparkled with curiosity. “Oh, did you see her, truly? What did she have on, do you remember?” “Have on—?” The princess puzzled look, and Judith intervened: 4 passion for pretty clothes.” “I think you’re awfully pretty,” Zinnle insid- lously put it, addressing the princess; and added: ‘Are you sure my mother didn’t give you any presents to give us?” “Zinnie!” came reprovingly from Miss Scope. The princess shook her head. “No, she didn’t give me any presents. Perhaps she thinks you ought to come and get them. But she gave me a message for you when she heard that 1 was coming here—she told me to tell you how dreadfully she wanted to see her little girl again.” Zinnie grew scarlet with excitement and grati- fication, such notice lifted her at once above the. other children. But an afterthought soon damped her spirit. “If she really feels like that I’d of thought she’d of sent me a present,” she ob- jected doubtfully. “Presents aren't everything, and it’s not very nice to associate the people you love with the thought of what they may be going to give you. Besides,”” continued the princess illogically, “if your mother is so generous, think how many presents you'd get if you were always with ber.” This seemed to plunge Zinnie into fresh per- plexity. “Always with her? How could I be? She doesn’t want to ‘dopt the lot of us, does she? ‘Cos you see we've all sweared——_” “You mustn’t say swear,” said the princess. “Swore,” Zinnie corrected herself. “I mean, not use such words,” the princess ex- plained. “But we did,” said Zinnie, “on Scopy’s book, so she'd have to ‘dopt us all, with Judy. Do you s’pose she would?” “I don't know about that, perhaps it might be difficult. But why shouldn’t she want to have her own little daughter with her?” The princess again leaned over and laid a persuasive hand on Zinnie’s. “Don’t you want me to take you back to Venice, to your own real mother, when I go tomorrow ?” There was pause of suspense. Boyne signed to Judith to keep silent and the children, taking the cue, remained with spoons above their pudding, and eyes agape, while this perfidious proposal was submitted. Zinnie, from crimson, had grown al- most pale, the orange spirals of her bushy head seemed to droop with her drooping lips. Her head sank on her neck, and she twisted about in its crease of plumpness the necklace her mother had given her, “What kind of presents d you s'pose they be?” she questioned back with caution. nesitated with a “Zinnie has E 5 ; we E 7 “ Pe Sita & Ba ok ve ee 5 ‘ P \ ~ ER : * A Sa, as A ae eek € Ps ‘ i en ein ce MR sy + a cee ae Pg 4 | g + Mbt Ea ee EY g 2 “ - P, x) oe 7 . . eee | if LP SIS) > OBE does ‘ P oe ab Te a ee a ~ gene bey te Me = . a 3 Y ae? ee. 4 Fg epee wast > : stat ti Fs ees 5 ie ‘oe “ + git ial et we ee, uk pe * ¥ ~! oS % * . x re. » Pa. oc heat FS ke Ni x r 2 ™ 3 ° © a os ~ OP SAN i ar AO 1A 2.4 elit ada Otis eed "ad aS Sa tee Ut a Hi if li seubes Hees bes : § ¢ g > | $3 + : P DRE CE i ee Coane 0 Oe ae ste tus ee ' eye yp ar it ee St oe re > - oe . tees repaint We a s 7 tion, and Boyne read on: Blanca, of course; and the added vowel gave the word a new stateliness. “A great Poet, or the best Writer of Detective Stories, | im TWsy after the other. The Princess had apparently hoped that something more striking: would result. She said the game usually promoted discussion, and she hoped the next stage in *t would lead to freer self-expression, The she were now to say in turn why--that is, on what grounds—they wanted to be this or that. But an awe-struck silence met her invitation to debate, ners was due only to overexcitement, and the strain of sitting up later than usual—she hoped the Princess would excuse her, but really the children had better go to bed. At this suggestion all the faces round the table lit up excep: Zinnie’s, which was clouded by a pout. She slipped down from her cushions with the others, but when her . turn came to file by the Princess for good night, she held up the march-past to ask, “N’arn’t there going to be any prizes after that game?” She was swept off in Miss Scope’s clutch, end the Princess, after a timid attempt at endearment, imperfectly responded to, when Bun and Beechy took leave, sat down for a talk with Boyne and Jud:th. Much as she had evidently seen to dis- approve of in the bringing-up of the little Wheat- ers she was in a less aggressive mood than in the afternoon; something she had been unprepared for, and had only half understood, in the relation of the children to each other and to their elders, seemed imperceptibly to have shaken her convic- tions. Though she continued to repeat the same phrases, it was with less emphasis; and she lis- tened more patiently to Boyne’s arguments, and to Judith’s entreaties. Judith was presently called away to say good night to the children, and as soon as the Princess any Boyne were alone, the former began abruptly: “But you must listen to me, Mr. Boyne; you must understand me. It’s not only that I can not con- scientiously approve of the way in which Beatrice and Astorre are being brought up: it is that I need them myself—I need them for my husbard.” She colored at the avowal, and went on hastiiy: “If he is to begin a new life—and he has begun it al- ready—his first step ought to be to take back his children. You must see that. You must see how I am situated.” Her voice broke and Boyne sud- denly felt the same pity for her as when she had shown her fear that he might be hinting a criti- cism of Prince Buondelnionte’s past. “I'll do what I can—only trust me,” he stam- mered. Judith came back, and the Princess, still a little rigid from the effort at self-control, began at once to thank her for her kindness, and to say that she was afraid it was time to go. She would te! Prince Buondelmonte, she added, with an effort at cor- dialsty, that the children seemed very well (“phy- sically well,” she explained), and she would give him the assurance—she hoped she might?—that some sort of understanding as to their future would soon be reached. Victory or defeAt? Judith and Boyre, sitting late, asked each other which it was, but found no answer.

EING a woman as well as a princess, her royal B highness also visited the Rue de la Paix, and was by No means unmoved by the creations of the modiste and the milliner she saw there. On April 4, there was a special dinner given in their honor by their host and hostess, and on the fifth Lord Lascelles dined with Prince and Princess Murat. The next day Lord Hardinge organized a dinner followed by an entertainment at the British Em- bassy in honor of Princess Mary and her husband. Not only many distinguished British guests were present, but also the flower of the French nobDll- ity The French nation had from the time of the announcement of the engagement taken the greatest interest in the marriage, and the Matin, wishing to offer its felicitations to “the grand- daughter of the kindly maker of the entente cordiale,” asked Marshal Foch to give his views. The marshal, replying in a statement in which he alluded to England and all things English in the most flattering terms, said: “Edward VII was always an inspiration to me.” Almost Converted Cynic. What Paris thought of the royal couple’s pros- pects of happiness together may be summed up in the remark of a witty and cynical Frenchman when he was asked his opinion. “Always I have heard of the great advantages of the English love match,” he answered, “When I see those two, I am tempted to believe in them.” It had been arranged that Lord Lascelles and his bride should spend Easter at Windsor with the family, but first they were going to Chesterfield House, that Princess Mary might make further acquaintance with her magnificent town residence. Princess Mary derived the greatest pleasure from her trip abroad, Of the happiness of both herself and Lord Lascelles there could be no doubt. They had deep affection one for the other, but the of the enduring success of their union was built on an even surer founda- tion—the many interests they had in common. This bond, the honeymoon, comparatively brief was, had helped to strengthen, and they pre- to settle down to their life together, se- knowledge that they were not only asi mansions which rank with the England, and which, moreover, examples of the arts in which keenly tnterested. Lord Lascelles is not only heir to the Harewood from Lord Clanricarde he inherited tle in County Gal- he also bought yanery, i. i Tot age TS ete: busts of old orators interspersed with voluptuous vases and bronze antiques, or Italian and @iry statuettes in marble or alabaster.” i Princess Mary has always been inclined tq a country life. i Por this reason—and particularly since the birth of her two sons—she and her husband, Viscoynt Lascelles, have passed most of their time at Goltis- borough Hall, which is part of the Harewood estate and not very far from Harewood House, residence of Lord Lascelles’ father, the Earl of Haréwood, In 1766 Daniel Lascelles, wearying of a mansion he had started to tuild in another part of the country, bought the estate and spent a great deal of his time in altering it to his liking. The fa&¢ mous brothers Adam were then working on Hare- wood House, and Daniel Lascelles made use of their services, with the result that there are many traces of their fine work, including several of the famous Adam ceilings, which Princess Mary fully appreciates. i The grounds are more remarkable for tneir beauty than their size, and Princess Mary, who! is an expert and enthusiastic gardener, takes great interest in the flower beds, which are a mass of blossom throughout almost the whole year. She is also enthusiastic about what is known as “dwarf gardening,” that specialty of the Japanese, and has some quaint and beautiful specimens to which ” she adds from time to time. Forbear Espoused Cromwell’s Cause. | Lord Lascelles’ family tree dates back to 1295, when Roger de Lascelles was one of the barons of Edward I. The present viscount can trace direct descent from John de Lascelles, of Hinderskelfe, who lived over 600 years ago. ! : Col. Francis Lascelles, the ancestor alluded to in Lord Lascelles’ retort to the election heckler, ar- rayed himself against the crown in the days of the Commonwealth (by his alliance with Princegs Mary, Lord Lascelles may be considered to have made the amende honorable) and fervently espoused the cause of the Roundheads. ; When the Restoration came Capt.

It is the unseen beauty of magnificent engineering.
