FIVE CENTS. | WASHINGTON & SUBURBS | AT GEA PARLEY SLIPPING AWAY Little Hope Is Seen for Five-Power Treaty Satisfying All. RESULT IN HANDS OF BRITISH AND FRENCH American Proposal of . Consultative Pact Is Held Meritorious. ITALY STEADFAST TO VIEWS, GRANDI SAYS Demands of Paris Embrace Guarantees, Not Security, They Maintain. By JOHN L. BALDERSTON. London, March 29 (N.Y.W.4S8.)— The naval conference, as J. L. Barvan, London editor, remarks: “Keeps on sitting with the heroism of the cele- brated fowl that tried to hatch the chine egg.” Admittedly the only hope for a five-power treaty lies in the efforts of British and French ex- perts to produce an agreed Anglo- French interpretation of article 16 of the League of Nations covenant that will satisfy French ideas of security, and, unfortunately, it can be chroni- cled with fair approach to certainty tonight that no chicken is coming out of the egg. The mystery of the optimism among the American delegates as to the five- power agreement, in contrast to the pessimism in Washington, ‘becomes less important with the evidence to- day that optimism in our delegation is cozing away. It was probably caused by the prompt revivication of the almost defunct five-power parley by the Morrow-Stimson consultative pact formula, suggested to Prime Min on Monday, but difficulties are proving too great in view of the divergent views of Britain and France. Conferences Are Few, British opinion is sold against com- mitments to engage in future wars and ‘Prench opinion seems equally solid Against scrapping « part of its naval take preventive action against an aggressor, and the cleverest drafts- man in Europe, even with the most aédroit American help, can acarcely find the form of words that will in- créasée Britain’s commitments in the ' eyes of Prance and not add to them “ American delegation has in the eyes of England. In these circumstances it appears now most probable that the consulta- tive pact scheme, upon which the been en- gaged, will come to anything, since it is dependent upon action by the other powers that is now unlikely. There was little conference activ‘ty today and there will be less tomor- row.

Briand is believed planning a powerful speech at the plenary ses- sion next Friday, making security proposals on behalf of France, if the experts can not agree on a formula in the meantime, and their refusal might wind up the five power con- ference, It now seems unlikely that the other powers are prepared to grant Briand his lise on limitation methods to take to Geneva Continued on Page 3, Column 6.

OPTIMISM | Loss of $100,000,000 Seen If Great Falls Power Project Fails Maj. Somervell, Army Engineer, Before Senate Committee, Discusses Cost to Taxpayers of Re- taining Area as Park as Against Converting It to Utilitarian Uses, Which He Favors. By DAVID RANKIN BARBEE. An Army officer stood before the Senate District of Columbia commit- tee the other day explaining the pro- posed scheme of a full development of the Potomac River. He had been called to give expert advice. As en- gineer in charge of the Washington district, he was supposed to know his stuff. As a matter of fact, he was chosen for his. present job for the same reason that Maj. Gen, Lytle Brown was made chief of engineers, because of his record as an Army en- gineer. For an hour he had traveled over the ground of opposition to the pro- posed hydro-electric dams at Great Palls and at Chain Bridge, and to emphasize his points he directed at- tention to some pictures he had brought with him. Two of them were airplane photographs and two of them scientifically made drawings superimposed on photographs. “The picture on the left,” explained Maj. Brehon Somervell, in that soft Arkansas drawl of his, “shows Chain Bridge in its present condition with that wild rocky area under it... . This other shows the power develop- ment in the same vicinity.” The grave and reverend senators looked first at the vista so well known to all travelers who drive over Chain Bridge, the bed of the stream small and rocky, and the terrain having the appearance of a dismal swamp. Then their eyes followed the engi- neer’s pointer to the transformed scene—a& great concrete dam with «a bridge topping it, at one end, on the Virginia side, to be sure, the power house, and behind it a placid jake, the kind of a body of water that charms visitors to mountain regions which possess such lagoons. “The next picture shows, on the left, Great Falls as they are now,” continued the engineer, “and, on the right, Great Palis as they would be with the park and power develop- ment.” A little controversy, it should be stated, has arisen over the effect the Continued on Page 8, Colunm 2. U. 0. PARLEY ENVOYS WIN HOOVER BACKING Announcement of Support Follows Consultative Pact Impasse. HARMONY IS RESTORED By ALBERT W. FOX. President Hoover’s support of the American delegation at the London naval conference was Officially an- nounced yesterday amd came 8 & necessary climax to the reported dis- sension of the past week. It restores the barmony that was broken when Secretary Stimson on Tuesday last sought to cammit the delegation to a politica} pact with Europe. On Friday Mr. Stimson withdrew his support for the consultative pact which had been the subject of his statement on Tuesday and thereby paved the way for restoration of har- mony between the delegation and the White House. Future consideration which Mr. Stimson may give to any different form of political pact or negative alliance will henceforth be coupled with an explanation that. these pacts represent mere explora- tions of European ideas ragher than indications of a reversal of American policy. President Hoover does. not wish to embarrass the delegation nor does he desire to dictate what Mr. Stimson should of should not discuss with the European statesmen. But he assumes that Secretary Stimson will not re- peat last week's embarrassing episode and he is understood to believe that his Secretary of State will realize that America’s traditional policies and ideals must not be lost sight of dur- ing the remaining negotiations. The harmony announced came yes- terday morning from Mr. Cotton after the Acting Secretary had conferred with President Hoover. His statement was as follows: “There are no differences of view between the President and our dele- gation in London. The delegation has already had, and now has, his un- qualified support and authority. The delegation is in London patiently to explore every suggestion made and every possibility that leads to the great purpose of the conference—that is, the reduction and limitation of naval arms and the preservation of Continued on Page 3, Column 2%.

District Supreme Court Concludes 64- Year-Old Case Although Congested With Present-Day Business, Time Is Taken Out to Clear Up Record Dating From December, 1866. . Although the District of Columbia Supreme Court is congested with present-day business, Criminal Court No. 1, presided over by Justice Peyton Gordon, took time out Friday and went back all the way to 1866 to straighten up the court records, it wag learned yesterday. Thus, 64 years later, Case No, 4735 has been brought up to date. The action was taken at the instance of @ local title company, which during the search of the title to a plece of property discovered that the title was mot clear since the property was supposed to be collateral on & $50 bond of the vintage of 1866. | The record of the case is contained in Volume No. 5 of the Criminal Docket. Dusty pages, yellowed with age, show ip fading ink that in De- : cember, 1866, James Mason was in- dicted for larceny and that William H. Toler and George F. Coakley were sureties on his $50 bond.

Mr. Hart declined to discuss the cas®, and when pressed for a definite answer as to whether or not he con- sidered the raid illegal, he merely re- plied: “The record in the case speaks for itself.” Asked what law might govern il- legal search of a private dwelling without a warrant, Mr. Hart explain- ed that “the Willis-Campbell act is believed to cover such operatiens.” This act modifies the clause in the espionage act relative to illegal ¢r- rest and wunwarran search and seizure, and provides not only action against the raiders but also gives the victim the right to collect damages by civil procedure. This is the law under which the Harmons will bring action. Pollowing is the report of the raid es made by the vice squad to Mr Hart. All four of the raiders affixed their signatures: “With an arrest warrant in our ion for one Eddie Crogan for the alleged sale of liquor, and having had information from a reliable source that he would be found en- gaged in the liquor traffic from the Shelbourne Apartments, 1631 8 street northwest, apartment No. 707, we ed to the above premises ana ee om the door of apartment O°. , Liquor Discovery Alleged. “Our knock was answered by «a middle-aged white woman Sergt.

FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR Warsaw, Poland, March 29 (A.P.) — After two weeks of difficult mego- tiations and bitter feeling between the Diet end the we of Mar- shal Pilsudski, Poland's “strong maa,” a new Polish government was by Col. Walery Slawek. suc- Bartel ministry, which resigned March 14. Foreign Minister August Zales ana ali the other members of the Bartel cabinet were retained, except Minister of Justice Dutkiewicz. The Ministry of Justcie was offered to Stanislaus Car. who was minister of justice in the so-called “colonel’s cabinet” Of last summer and is noted for his hostility toward the Diet. The Slawek ministry is a “strong arm” government and is sure to come into collision with the Diet, which has had «@ long feud with the col- onel’s group and Marshal Pilsudski. Injured By Bomb. However, the diet probably will be adjourned soon until October and will thus be in no position to make difficulties for the ministry. It may be specially summoned to ratify the Young plan and the German-Polish liquidation agreement, but if so its seasion would be short. Col, Slawek, the new premier, has had a romantic career. Born neéar Kiev, in thé Ukraine, in 1679, he graduated from the Academy of Com- merce at Warsaw and took up office work. in Lodz. Joining the Socialist party with Marshal Pilsudeki, he took part in a number of anti-Russian movements, during one of which he sustained a disfigurement of the face from the premature explosion of «a bomb. Bitter Diet Foe. During Russian political persecu- tion of the Poles, he fied to Austria, helping Marshal Pilsudski to form his legions, with whom he fought during the World War as well in the later campaigns egainst the lsheviste. In 1928 he entered the Diet and rose to become chairman of the gov- ernment deputies bloc. He is leader, therefore, of thé severest opponents of the Diet. Premier Slawek is the chairman of the Union of Pilsudski Legionnaires, who regard him as the inévitable suc- cessor of the marshal. He is con- sidered to be the marshal’s closest friend.

Annapolis, Md., March 29.—A def- inite movement looking to preventing further pollution of Annapolis Har- bor and néarby estuaries was taken today by a committee of city officials and representatives of county and civic organizations, when a joint reso- lution setting forth the danger of conditions was drawn for presentation to Congress. The reso- lution suggests naming a committee of investigation to be composed of two representatives of the United States Government, one to represent the State, one the county and two to represent the City of Annapolis Pollution of the waters reached an acute stage through the constant emptying of sewage directly into the harbor, as well as Severn River, Coi- lege and Spa Creeks. Such refuse is not only from city and county terri- tory, but also from the Naval Acad- emy proper and other sections of the naval reservation. The Federal au- thorities have condemned certain areas by hibiting the taking of oysters and preventing bathing in the waters. Local authorities point out that the only real solution of the problem lies in the construction of a modern sewage disposal pliant. This would be costly, but the feeling is that the expense should be borne proportion- ately by the city, county, State and Federal Governments, because all will reap the benefit.

The idea originated with Mr. Wat- son, father-in-law of Herbert Hoover jr. The evening after President Hoo- ver’s inauguration and before the Hoover private library was installed, Mr. Watson noticed that members of the family wished to turn to books for relaxation and that none was available. Although the Library of Congress contains a million volumes and the Executive Office has a reference library, there was nothing for the President to read merély for diver- sion. Informed of this, the American Booksellers Association undertook to present the White House with a com- prehensive choicé, which now is vir- tually complete and provides for a catholicity of taste. Twenty-five detective stories and as many children’s books will afford entertainment for every one from the President to his grandchildren. In addition to a long list of fiction. standard and contemporary, there will be a wide selection of biography, mostly about statesmen, 50 volumes on history, and a ection of poetry, drama, essays, including “The Com- on travel, as noe representative coll plete Angler,” by Izaak philosophy, scienece and arts.

Black continues to carry on as he has in the past, it will not be long before he will have completely lived down the manner in which he came to the Senate—at the hands of the Ku Klux Elan. Admittedly, he was placed under a tremendous handicap by virtue of this. He was reputed from the first to be a man of considerable ability, but, nevertheless, it was hard to warm up to a fellow who might. be expected to Jump upon the floor at any minute and rail against the Catholic Church. He had had only the performance of his colleague, Mr Heflin, to go by, you see. But it has become quite apparent that there is a distinct difference be- tween Heflin and Black. They “both have the same constituency. but one gets the impression that Black has never been a kluxer at heart. > * > . HE history of this man is that T the up-and-comer that he was, he grabbed hold of the klan racket down in Alabama and was catapulted headlong into the Senate. in what might be described as an unfriendly company, too, with Heflin’s words still ringing in its ears. But immediately he landed, Black seemed to pull himself together and get his bearings straight. As a re- sult, one can hardly visualize him now as having at any time stood upon an Alabama hill before the fiery cross and whipped his auditors into a frenzy of religious hate. “Titring Pst | It would seem now, in fact, in light of hie idter service, that connection with the Klan was con- fined to a realization of a political condition, of facts that stared an am- bitious man in the face. - . * . . ERTAINLY, his service in the Senate has not been devoted to encouraging this condition; to maintaining it as a political vehicle to be used again. No doubt if it is still an actuality when he comes up for reelection he will accept it as he did before and seek to return to office on the same wave. But a man can be forgiven to m® large extent for this if he does nothing to encourage such a condi- tion. Indeed, Black can be forgiven for much, because he has made no play to his Klan consituency, not in the open at least. His service, instead, has been one of steadily impressing his ability upon his colleagues, and he has come to be recogniged as one of the keenest minds on the Democratic side. His work with the Senate lobby committee in its inquiry into Muscle Shoals and particularly his question- ing of Mr. Huston was most valuable to the Democrats, which is to say painful to Mr. Huston. And so one who saw the Alabaman tie Senator McKellar in a knot in their recent debate on a Federal judgeship will deny that he handles himself well on his feet.

It is the high hope that a plan for so doing can be evolved which will meet the approval of the American people and will be consonant with our traditional poli- cles and ideals.” According to the reports from American delegation quarters in Loa- don there is something to be said for the position which Secretary Stim- son took on Tuesday last, despite the unexpected consequences which re- sulted from the Secretary's statement respecting the consultative pact. Had the statement produced the effect which Mr. Stimson anticipated, there would have been no confusion and no clash with the White House and the American delegation might have ob- tained credit for saving the confer- ence from threatened collapse. And President Hoover would have under- stood that the statement was more in the nature of a diplomatic maneuver than an attempt actually to bind America to a political alliance. Viewpoint of Japan. The purpose of the maneuver was two-fold. First, it was designed to prevent the American delegation from | being placed by France in the posi- tion of obstructing the work of the conference. In other words, Prime Minister MacDonald and Mr. Stimson decided to put the responsibility ur to Prance by agreeing to consider with an open mind such political propos- als as France might wish to make. Both’ Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Stim- son were convinced that France would find it embarrassing to lay her cards on the table. Mr. MacDonald person- ally was willing to make overtures without the concurrence of Mr. Stim- son, but feared the political effect in England of such a move.

The Japanese situation also came into the picture. If Tokyo believes that a five-power treaty may emerge from the.conference, there will be a better chance of reducing Japanese cruiser demands. The Japanese are less interested in a three-power pact It is noted that Tokyo is not acting on the American proposals until the situation clarifies. Had the five-power conference collapsed last week, the prospect of a Japanese compromise would have been minimized, in the opinion of the American representa- tives. Johnson Hits Pact. In connection with the Stimson statement there was also the hope that public opinion might rally to the support of the consultative pact idea, that senators would announce in favor of it and that a real basis might be found for actually promoting the Stimson-Morrow idea of a politi- cal pact. But the reaction in America was just the opposite of that which Mr. Stimson and Mr. Morrow had an- ticipated. Following Mr. Cotton’s statement, Senator Johnson, of California, rank- ing Republican on the foreign rela- tions committee, joined in the de- nunciation of a consultative pact with a formal] statement which was as follows: “I have taken it for granted up to this time-from the press articles that there was no possibility of our rep- resentatives abroad entering into any pact which might be construed in the slightest degree as political. Opposition Here Predicted. “Of course, it goes without saying that if any such agreement should be made which ties us in with European controversies or difficulties it will meet with the most determined op- position here and I shall be very glad to count myself one of Its opponents. “There is no comparison between what has been done in respect to the Pacific with what is suggested in re- gard to the Atlantic and Mediter- ranean. Consultative pact is a mis- nomer. If we agree to meet with the nations of Europe concerning dif- ferences in the Mediterranean or among the countries there it follows conclusively that we can not meet and then run, but that we will meet and decide, and whether we like it or not, then act.” $10,000 Bond Is Made By Alleged Swindler St. Augustine, Fla..

Briand, puffing at a cigarette admitted, however, that the position of the negotiations offered many pit- falls. , Britain, he said, had special prob- lems @f her own, whose nature must be recognized. As for the United States, he felt that her position must be wuhderstood to be on a totally different plane from that of the European nations. “T have no intention of suggesting that the United States commit her- self to anything that would pass reasonable bounds, considering her special position.” The discussion between Foreign Sec- retary Henderson, Rene Massigli, of the French delegation. and himself today, he said, had been confined to the political aspect of the situation “l have not been looking at the) question only from the French point of view.

AWAITS UNITS’ TRANSFER (Associated Press.) Until Congress legisiates on the als before it which er responsibility for enforc- ing prohibition from the Treasury Department to the Department of Justice, there will be neither altera- tions of present enforcement policies nor important changes of personne! or organization. James M. Doran, prohibition com- missioner, announced yesterday that this attitude, which the heads of the prohibition establishment deemed it wise to take in view of the fact that the interdepartmental transfer likely to become effective within a few months. Commissioner Doran indicated that this did not mean that administra- tive steps would be withheld in case of emergency, but that the general object of the treasury control of en- ae woe would be to refrain from any steps which might com- —, ttorney General Mitchell and his advisers to particular policies or organization arrangements. In spite of this, in several regions of the country, reports have gained currency as to possible radical revi- assignments of agents. None of the has any foundation, Commissioner Doran said, and there will not be sub- stantial ground for dealing with them until Congress has concluded the legislation which President Hoover asked. authorizing the transfer, anda until the attorney general has reached decisiong on details which have as yet not been presented to him.

The French took umbrage at a re- cent statement by a high American authority on the ground that it mis- represerited the attitude of France and threatened today to issue a state- ment in reply, but after negotiations it is hoped that the incident will be buried in oblivion. The French ac- cused the American spokesman of re- ferring to the demand of France for security and to the necessity for re- duction in the French building fig- ures before the consultative pact could be discussed. Alarm Quieted Down. The French deny they demand se- curity, what they want is instead a system of mutual guarantees, but their chief resentment was at the al- leged American suggestion that it is the French program which must be reduced if settlement is reached. The possibility of public polemics on these lines seriously alarmed the Americans, for the French could make an un- answerable attack on the charge that their program alone holds up the con- ference and declare that not France alone, but everybody else must reduce proportionately.

No appro- priation is mentioned for a new county jail; in fact, the budget car- ries no appropriations for any new project. The board states its désire to re- duce appropriations and to reduce the tax rates; however, by virtue of the loss to Alexandria City in the amount of approximately $5,000,000 assessed valuation, it is found to be at this time impossible to make any Teduction in the rate. It is pointed out that althuogh ac- Curate figures are not obtainable at this time, there will be a very small reduction in the amount of gasoline and bus taxes to be received from the State. The amount received from the - State, according to the budget, shows & reduction of $5,000. There wil! also be a slight reduction in the amount of capitation taxes and dog taxes to be received by the State. It is estimated by virtue of annexa- tion, based upon a $5,000,000 assessed Valuation loss, at a rate of $2.50 on the $100, equals a loss in levies in the amount of $125,000.

CHAPTER VIIL—SHOWMANSHIP. HE term showmanship is gener- ally used with reference to some one in the theatrical or musical world, but it is evident in practically every walk of life. The drug store clerk who juggles the drings, pouring the liquid from one glass high up to another glass lower down, is really 4& showman. While he is trying t im- press you with his cleverness he also makes the drink seem more attrac- tive, or something that you are iucky to get if he juggles it right. When- ever some one tries, by exhibiting much physical activity, to attract attention and to captivate the ad- miration of others, this is showman- ship; this is based on one positive fact: that the eye is about four times more efficianet than the ear as 4& gateway to attention, memory and interest. You have only to realize that the silent movie has been successful for many years, in fact has paid for the cathedrals that now show talk- ing pictures, to understand the im- portance of satisfying the eye. This is one of the reasons that the makera of radio programs have the devil’s own time to keep the interest of their listeners; because there is no band or speaker to see, attention lags if the program be- comes at all dull. Unquestionably television will add greatly to the attraction of the radio. because peo- ple must see that which is giving them something for the ear. That is why an attractive vocalist, eivher man or woman, with beauty of face or figure or eccentricity of pose and delivery will be twicé as success- ful as a homely one with twice the yocal or speech-making ability. Ted Lewis Showmanship Proved. Ted Lewis, to my mind, is the greatest showman in the theatrical gamé. He will tell you himself that from the standards of artistry he is not a great saxophonist or clari- néetist, nor does he claim to have a beautiful voice. But he holds me and thousands of others actually spellbound by his inimitable wizardry of presentation. No one could sell his band, his numbers or himself in quite the same way as this magical fun- maker can. It is hard to say just what feature or features are most re- sponsible for his success; perhaps it is his joviality, or the pathos of his voice, or the fact that he is always on the move, juggling his hat and cane, and injecting into his act littie comedy bits and byplays with the members of his orchestra. He has made a fortune and he can thaak one thing, the fact that he was born with more sense of showmanship than a score of average men would have. I can think of dozens of others, but none of them so well known and quite so clearly a good example 4s the high-hatted tragedian of song. Sometimes showmanship is used as a cloak to prevent the expose of a great weakness. Many a trombonist, whose lips can not produce the tone, makes up for the lack of what should be coming out of the end of the horn in actual music by gradiose mo- tions of his arm as he moves the slide, thereby earning the title among musicians of “Joe Motion,” meaning that he is only good for motion to conceal the fact that he is really un- able to play his instrument. Likewise many another instrumen- talist has secured an engagement and become a big hit in the eyes of his public by elaborate, graceful or even awkward motions and contor- tions that so eatch and impress the eye that his weak musical delivery is forgotten. You yourself can pro- ably recall the obvious and concrete example of the beautiful girl with no volce who becomes a tremendous sen- sation, or at least very popular, in musical comedy, admittedly due to the silent showmanship of her beauty. Dancing Steps Bring Applause. I suppose the same trick of de- lighting the eye is responsible {for the great popularity that eccentric dancing, of the type that one sees between the episodes of a musical comedy, is 80 popular. There is nothing that will bring great applause so completely as a dancer who knows some odd and hard steps. The eye seems to be 60 impressed with the unusual physical exertion that the hands roel they must applaud loudly. Personally, although 1 have always been aware of what showmanship was and the value of it, I have never made and do not make even today much of an attempt to practice it. All my life I have believed in con- servation of energy. In fact, near the end of my schooling | seriously thought of becoming an efficiency expert to eliminate waste motion. Nothing, of course, could be so dia- metrically opposed to showmanship as conservation of energy and motion, because the showman capitalizes waste motion In order to impress his audience. Notice concert pianists who raise their hands sometimes a foot or two from the keyboard to impress you. Nothing could be more detrimental to their playing, because obviously the fingers should be as close to the keys wy to secure the best re- sults. ake the violinist who allows his hair to come down in front of his eyes, who twists and turns and bends his knees, or who stands with legs apart and makes a great physical ef- fort to reach a certain note. This is a very common type of showmanship. Sought for Attitude of Dignity. When I first began playing I used as little effort as possible, keeping my fingers close to the keys, dis- torting the face as little as possi'ie and keeping the horn close to the body Watch the showman saxophonist who takes his fingers two or three inches from the keys. throws his sax into the air as he biows, pufis his cheeks out, or who plays with one hand while the other hand is waved aloft. I realized I was not a showman as I played my instrument. But I did mot care to be. I was striving to master the instrument itself and I bent every effort toward doing so. I continiied this attitude during all the first years of my playing, even when I graduated and began leading my own bend. Then as I stood »e- fore the ys who are with me to- day and realized that for the first time I had my own band and must put it over, I knew that I was con- fronted with the showmanship prob- lem. I could have led as many other saxophone leaders do, with much hop- ping around, moving of the saxo- phone and bodily shimmies, but at the risk of failing completely, I con- tinued to play in an attitude of sim- ple dignity. Heaven knows the saxophone is abused enough by critics and even players, and the public has been led to believe long enough that it is a mongrel contraption with no place in our list of musical instruments. I am glad there are a few of us who have sought to dignify and beautify this gorgeous reed yoice of brass, and I can truthfully say that I have tried to do my share. Jumping Jack Antics Criticized. In defiance of all traditions of showmanship the quiet dignity of my band and myself has become, instead | of a great failure, perhaps the reason that so many people enjoy our work and go home remarking about our ap- arance. I realized this might be so. knew that nearly every band leader insisted on bodily movements on the part of all the boys, especially dur- ing so-called Dpy tuner erd that our quiet attifude was a G1é¥hct re- action from all of these and could not fail to impress éven the most pep-loving individual in our au- dience. So although there are a few who write and implore me to show some personality (meaning to Jump around and wave my arms), these letters are outnumbered by those who say that I am a relief from the jumping-jack orchestra conductor. My megaphone and my closed eyes are believed by the wiseacres in the theatrical profession to be a part of my showmanship. But both were unpremeditated and very logical, as I will show.

BS SRSSE RESETS s tases -Resears : age 2 men ig gg og pecbarenerry Capt. Hawks Will Be Towed Plane From. Pacific Atlantic Coast. ‘NOTHING TO IT,’ HE SAYS San Diego, Calif.. March 29 (A-P.). _A coast-to-coast glider tour with Capt. Frank Hawks, noted transcon- tinental filer, in the frail craft at the snapping end of a 500-foot tow rope will bé started here at dawn tomor- row, weather permitting, the aviator announced tonight. Hawks will be alone in the glider on the long fiight in the bumpy back- washes of a towing biplane’s propel- lor, He explained that maintenance of the interest of air-minded Ameri- Cans in aviation and a country-wide demonstration of glider operation were the purposes behind the projected tour. “There's nothing to it,” Hawks said after he completed his first long test flight to Los Angeles and back. “It’s easier than fiying a regular plane.” Trial Flight Success. The glider, which was towed to Los Angeles Thursday, returned today in & successful two-hour flight behind a biplane piloted by J. D. Jernigan. The latter and Wallace Franklin, Ann Arbor, Mich., will ride in the biplane in the cross-coun trek. Franklin is a bother of R. E. Frankiin, Univer- sity of Michigan professor, designer of the cabin glider. Like Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who in the past three months has made many glider flights in California, Capt. Hawks seeks to demonstrate the safety of gliding, and the valuable training the powerless planes may offer to student aviators. More than a score of stops will be made in the trans- continental trip, at each of which Capt. Hawks will demonstrate the glider by cutting loose his towline, circling and drifting to a landing. If wind conditions are favorable, exhibi- tion take-offs with the peculiar power of an elastic sMap cord, instead of an airplane and its towline, may be made at various points en route. Forty Flying Hours for Trip. The itinerary is as follows: Sunday—Leave San Diego, stop for fuel at Yuma, Phoenix, and at Tucson, Ariz., over night. Monday—Leave Tucson, stop at Lordsburg, N. Mex., for fuel, and at E) Paso, Tex., over night. . Tuesday — Leave El Paso, stopping for fuel at Pecos, Midland, and over hight at Sweetwater, Tex. . Wednesday—Leave Sweetwater, stop- _iIpng at Wichita Palis, Oklahoma City, Okla. for fuel, and at Tulsa, Okla., aver night. Thursday—tLeave Tulea, passing over Claremore, Vinita, Miami, Okla.; 8t.

Y., over night. Sunday—Leave Buffalo, passing over Paterson, N. J., to New York City. The glider is expected to be cut loose over Central Park, New York Park, e plane going on to Roosevelt Field, Long , & land. The trip is ex- pected to cousume 40 flying hours.

In the Philippines Whenever I enter the hailway of my home in Washington I have befere me a grim reminder of the dangers of service overseas and the value of the admonition that eternal vigilance is the price of safety. On the wall of my home I have a collection of for- eign knives and bayonets collected through nineteen years of, service ashore and afloat in the far corners of the earth. A Turkish bayonet from Constantinople is side by side with a wicked-looking hara-kiri knife from Nagasaki. Most of these old knives were picked up from peddlers and small shopkeepers in foreign But in the center of the group, still bearing the rust marks that once were blood, is a 3-foot Moro bolo, sharp- ened to a razor edge and ready for business on. both sides and one end. Back in 1907 a detachment from the U. 8. S. Wilmington had been sent ashore in Mindanao, southern Philip- pines, to locate amd corner Jinkiri, a Moro bandit who was raising plenty of rumpus. Our orders were, Make contact with Jinkiri, keep in touch with Army reinforcements and when those reinforcements arrived to wipe up Mr. Jinkiri. It had evidently not occurred to any of the higher-ups that Mr. Jinkiri might get an idea to attack. Our column was only about 70 strong. We pursued Jinkir! (and fed him located in the crater of an extinct volcano. We made camp at the foot of the hill In a little val- ley Open on one end except for two great stands of palm trees.

We t occurred to us that John Moro, might know how to accurately throw a bolo On our first night ne camp the midnight relief went t to relieve the outpost at the opening to the can- yon. They found a perfecty fine lit- tle’ Swedish bugler from Minneapolis with his skull split in half clear down to his shoulder blades. He was quite dead and we wondered how in the world a wideawake American sentry ever allowed a Moro to sneak up with a bolo and “rub him out” without as much as an outcry. The next night our commanding of- ficer asked for volunteers, two men to that dangerous post. The whole outfit volunteered. We drew lots The result was that Warren W.

Suddenly Barton yelled, “Look out” I jumped aside. Barton fired into the crown of a palm tree and down came a full-grown Moro, claw- ing like a wild cat and just a second behind his bolo that stood quivering y ; As tie babeo fell he grabbed his bolo and slashed up at me. These fellows are plenty courageous and plenty game. I have always thanked the prize ring since that night for teach- ing me to side step. I did.

Naturally, this serves as an incentive to others for further and greater exertions, and also it incites other unscrupulous persons to take advantage of the psychological mo- ment, invent some plausible incident. and pose before the unsuspecting public as heroes. The writer has in mind one par- ticular bird who, during the World War, was doing his stuff along these lines, and by so doing won the heart of a fair young lady of Perth Amboy, N.J. This valiant Oapt. X. Busby (we will call him by this name) succeeded, for the time being, in becoming the hero of Perth Amboy. Just how he ever got to be a captain was, and etill is, a mystery, buc he was. Of course, he never got any further than Rari- tan, N. J., but this fact did not pre- clude him from posing before this particular young lady as the out- standing hero of France when, during a fierce attack on one of the fortified places, he was hit by the fragments of a bursting shell and so badly dis- abled that he had to be returned to Raritan to recuperate. The young lady, after hearing this most thrilling narrative, became so intensely inter- ested in the heroic deeds of the cap- tain that she consented to marry him, and did so, but scarcely was the matrimonial contract consummated when her. hero, Capt. X. Busby, was doomed to meet his Waterloo, for, lo and behold, the original and rea] Mrs. X. Busby, arrived now on the scene from her home in Kentucky and re- vealed the fact that the scars hereto- fore displayed by our hero were not caused, as the captain claimed, by any fragments of shell or shrapnel, but were the result of an operation for appendicitis that Mr. Busby un- derwent some time before the war. So the hero suddenly slumped and changed from a hero to just a plain bigamist, and as euch, he could not even be a captain any longer, and he was obliged to face a real battle of his own making, that in civil courts. Aw- wah-aw-wah, an Amos would exclaim, and so the act passed on into the night. ANTHONY THOMAS, A Veteran of Two Wars. g Hail the “Back” A “I was stationed with. the opera- tions section of Gen: Pershing’s staff at general headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces, during the World War, and shortly after the armistice high ranking general staff officers of the different divisions, chiefs of staff and other superior of- ficers were occasionally ordered to general headquarters for decoration by the commander in chief. On this particular occasion I remember nine- teen of such high ranking officers and one enlisted man were dfawn up in the center of the large caserne or parade ground, and one of Gen. Pershing’s aids read the citation of each individual case and upon the completion of such reading the com- mander in chief pinned the coveted decoration on the breast of the recip- jent, the decoration in most cases being the Distinguished Service Medal. At this time all the personnel stationed at headquarters were drawn up along the sides of the caserne and in the background facing’ the men to be decorated stood Gen.

SEVEN SUSPECTS FREED Authorities of Washington and Baltimore last night began a search with renewed vigor for the perpetra- tors of the attempted holdup Friday of the Citizens Savings Bank, of Baltimore, following the simultaneous release f three suspects arrested here and four others seized in the Mary- land city. The only tangible clew to the five bandite was the finding of their | automobile yesterday in a public | garage at 206 Water street, Balimore. | Experts are searching the car in the | hope of finding fingerprints. Baltimore police admitted last | night that their investigation was at a standstill, the bandits apparently | having obained another machine to | make their escape, after abandoning | the one used in the holdup. The Washington authorities check- | €d closely the story told by the three local suspects and after receiving confirmation from various sources re- leased them. One of the suspects was from Binghamton, N. Y.. who was searching for work in Richmond. Va. Finding none there, he told the | authorities, he picked up his two companions and decided to come to the District in search of a job. The numerais on his license plates tallied with those on the car used by the | bandits, with the exception that the | license plates were issued by New | York Stae. | John A.

Cen ep eS. hy i ee be Be ee eee ee SHIFT TO RIGHT IS SEEN SUCCESSOR IS CHOSEN Maj. Brehon B. Somervell, Army Engineer in chargé of the Washing- ton district, who Ras been a storm center in the Potomac River park or power controversy, will be relieved of hi present assignment in August, it ‘lwas announced at the War Depart- ment yesterday. Maj. Somervell’s transfer, however, has nothing to do with the present controversy. He is being transferred simply because in August his four- year term here will have expired. He will be succeeded here by Maj. Joseph. D. Arthur, jr., now at. the General Staff School at Fort Leaven- worth, Kans. Prom that same school also will come an officer to relieve Maj. L. E. Atkins, Assistant Engineer Commis- sioner, who is being transferred to Alaska The new man is Maj. Holland L. Robb. | After an intensive stu of the question, Maj. Somervell has come out in favor of a combined park and power project on the Potomac River in the vicinity of Washington. He does not see why the harnessing of the waters should necessarily destroy the scenic beauty of the river, and he has so told a Senate committee. In doing so, he has aroused the ire of those who insist on preserving the Great Falls area solely for park pur- poses. + , Berlin, March 29 (A.P.).—After more interparty wrangling than had | béen at first expected, Dr. Heinrich | Planned by the Park and Planning | Bruening, Centrist party leader in | Commission, would seem to be the | thé Reichstag, today got together a | most expensive park the world ever | } | 1417 Newton Street Two Rooms, Kitchen and Bath Best Values in Neighborhood Resident Manager Adams 1260 MT.

He had hardly gotten warmed up before Senator Glass of Virginia, a member of the committee, asked. in reference to the Cramton bill: “Does it interfere with any funda- mental proposition relating to power or other public concern?” “I think it does: yes, sir,” replied the engineer. “Would you mind stating just ex- | what?” think if this low level park is developed it will be impossible to provide for power development or for navigation development.” “What alterations, if any, in the parking plan would you make in order to presehye the possibilities of power development?” actly a Statement Carefully Prepared, Maj.

The transcript of his testimony shows that he read to the committee a carefully prepared the tenor of which was that his office had made a compre- survey for a full develop- ment of the Potomac River's won- derful resources, having in mind navi- gation, irrigation, power, parks and control.

He is so utilitarian, and esthetic that to shore up his position for the full and most comprehensive development of all the resources of the mighty Potomac he read from Hu Shih, the Chinese philosopher, who said that “a clay pot is no more material than a love lyric; nor is St. Paul's Ca- thedral less material than the Wool- worth Building.” Old Hu thinks that Edison and Ford, to say nothing of Morse and Bell, should be elevated to the dignity of deities because of the obligations they have laid on civilization by their inventions, All of man’s advance, says Hu, came through inventions, and it is tools that make America the foremost na- plant area has mapped and Honors were even in this colloquy, | for Maj.

Maj. Somervell undoubtedly subecribes to this phi- losophy, and that explains why he places electricity above the Tarheel’s fish on the Park and Planning Com- | mission's afternoon biology teas. There was another Chinese philoso- pher who said: “There is nothing great in the world but man, and there is nothing great in man but mind.” Old Hu has modernized that a bit. Figures Are Given. It was when he reached this point testimony—the capacity of the | value of the toll bridge and that thec| —that the engineer seemed to talking his everyday language in ‘which his thoughts are usually formed. Some of his figures are ar- resting. There are 40 possible power sites on the river, capable of develop- ing 2,864,000 K. W. H. dally. can be developed without cost to the Government and will pay for the , whole scheme of canalizing the river for navigation, for irrigation and for flood control. As for the development at Chain Bridge and Great Falls, there would be no surplusage of power. In nine years the consumption of power in | Washington had doubled, from 5,000 | The State of Louisiana b'ult | K. W. to 105,000 K. W., and even now the Washington per capita consump- tion is less than the national per capital consumption. Three compa- nies are ready to build plants now when the Federal Power Co. gives the word. “Is this power needed now in Wash- ington?” asked the persuasive young senator from Maryland, Mr. Tydings. “Not so much in Washington itself, 'but it is very much needed in this | whole @rea; yes, sir.” “Major, would not the building of this dam for power purposes stimu- late industrial development close to the Capital?” | “It would, yes. Not in Washington | itself, but close to the Capital. How- ever, there is nothing in an industrial development in itself, if it is proper- _ly regulated, that we should be afraid | of.” Want Few Industries, “But I for one hope that not many | industries will locate here.” said Mr. | Tydings, “not any more than we need, because I would rather see Washing- ton kept out of that.” “Certainly, if the people in Wash- ington do not want an industrial de- velopment, they will not have one forced on them,” rejoined the major. “One of our proudest boasts is our industrial efficiency. We take the greatest pride in our industrial devel- opment in being the greatest industrial nation on the globe. Our industries have made possible the present luxurious conditions in Wash- ington, our parks, our public build- ings and other national monuments . the American tourist or resident does not shun London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna . because of their indus- tries.”* Then as if to rub a soothing oint- ment on a chafed skin, he read what | the famous city planner, Mr. John Nolen, writing about Washington, | quoted from Lord Bryce, the one-time | British Ambassador here, who says in his best-known book, “The American Commonwealth,” that “the United | States is the only great nation in the world that has no capital” . ., “the ‘leading city of commerce and indus- /try, a reservoir of financial resources” and 60 on. Reads From Park Report. As if a dose of Bryce ointment did not quiet the troubled mind of the handsome senator from Maryland, the major read from the Park and Planning Commission's last annual report, which urged “utilitarian and economic” expansion of this good old city. The major was a tough witness. Army life makes ‘em that way. fie knew how much/Awater went over the ‘falls every day for as far back as the 'records went. He had not only read but had studied those figures. He knew that if the dams he proposed were not built now as high as his fig- ures called for, when the navigation project was set in motion that lower |'dams would interfere with his plans /“It would make them very diffi- l'eult.” he said. He told when the floods came and gave the date when | the big one flowed over Pennsylvania avenue and the folks here went to ‘work in dugouts. This would happen ‘again. He understood where Virgin:4 ‘and Maryland would get more taxes | than they are now getting, but which 'the lower dams might rob «hem of 'He blurted out that Col. Ladue told him he was going to raise water rates ‘in Washington “within one year. probably, certainly within two years.’ Expenditures have doubled in the District within ten years, and “the amounts raised by local taxation have trebled” in the same time. Washington soon would be consum.- Dam is now furnishing. Park or Not a Park. “The question is not one of whether there shall be a park or not a park, he concluded . .. “not a decision between parks on the one hand and power, navigation and flood control on the other... . An equally beauti- ful and far more useful park can be secured, together with the develop- ment of the river for other purposes.” Sitting on the sidelines listening to These | ing more water than the Acqueduct | the engineer was the executive officer of the Park and Planning Commis- sion, Lieut. Col. U. 8S. Grant 3d. When Senator Capper, the chairman asked him if he wished to be heard he said: “We have some members of the commission who are here today from some Uistance who can speak with an authority that neither Maj. Somervell nor I can speak with.” The chairman of this commission ls Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, Chief of En- gineers, U. 8. A. Unless the Senate committee goes further into the power situation, It probably will not take testimony in opposition to the major. The Avenue at 7th Bucharest, Roumania, March 29 (A. P.).—-Much cotiment has been aroused here by the action of the coregent, Prince Nicholas, who took it upon himself, in a street of the capital, to sentence Maj. Georgescu to three week's confinement im his home and a subsequent apology to the prince after a traffic incident. Prince Nicholas, it was said, was driving recklessly through the street and nearly ran over Maj. Georgescu. The major, highly indignant and not recognizing the prince, smashed the windshield with his cane. Nicholas thereupon assumed the role of judge on the spot and dictated the sentence.

= of Queries Wednesday, Masses to Reply. LETTER CARRIERS TO AID The wheels of the fifteenth census of the United States will begin to turn on Wednesday, April 2, and in Washington a part of the great ma- chine will grind out the names of every man, woman and child in the District, together with a mass of other information that will reveal, among other things, how many radios there ere in the National Capital and just how many persons in this city are early on Wednesday an army of nearly enumerators will set out armed with the large. sheets that will tell more than many would care to during a conversation with an inti- mate friend. But the recipient of the census need have no fear of talk- ing, because the answers to the nu- merous questions will be guarded with unbreakable seals. The first resident of the land, President Hoover, ll readily re- nd to the same questions asked of all, and the answers of the President will be as carefully goarded. A fire- vault at the Census Bureau will a@ the information given by every resident of the National Capital and the rest of the country. Hoover Comes First. President Hoover will receive the first visit from an enumerator, and response to the questions will be the cue for the wheels of the census machine to start in motion. It is ble that the census of the White se will be assembled by J. Sterling Moran, census supervisor of the Dis- trict of Columbia, but Mr. Moran was not in a position to verify this yes- ay. Cooperation is asked from the people of Washington in expediting census work and emphasis is placed on the importance of answering @very question. Answers to these questions, though most important as & whole, will be in confidence so far as the individual is concerned. number in Wash- ington, the size of the local radio audience, the number of persons un- employ how many residents vote im their home States and the buying power of the ptople of the National Capital—these are but a few of the interetsing matters that will be de- termined through the census. The buying power of the people will be ascertained through a record of the values of their homes or how much they pay for rent. Postmen to Ald Work. April 1 is the “dead line” on the census. This means that babies born after midnight on April 1 will not be included in the census. On the other hand, those who die after April 1 will be recorded as living. As a experimental innovation, 22 postal mail carriers will take the cen- sus in 4 portion of the Northwest sec- tion, of the city. If this turns out to be @ success, it is possible that mail carriers will replace most of the enu- merators in future census taking. The census of inmates of institutions in the District will be taken by indi- viduals attached to these places. Outside of these “extra workers,” virtually 400 enumerators will knock at «the doors of Washingtonians, spread out their large sheets and go through the round of question mak- ing. They will receive 4 cents for each mame recorded, 2 cents extra for any person unemploved and 2 cents extra for persons who vote in their home States. Through this sys- tem, it is er‘*'~ated that each enu- merator will average 44 cents.on each »erson he records. The enumerators will be given final instructions at a meeting at te Wil- som Nogmal School, Tuesday night. They will be addresse’ by Dr. W. M. Stewart, director of the census; Dr. E. Dana Durand, scientific assistant director; Edwin W. Kock, chief super- visor in charge of supervisors and Moran. Music Heads Fight Nation Anthem Bill Conference of Supervisors Prefers ““America, the Beantiful.”’ Chicago, March 29 (A.P.)-—The Music Supervisors Nationa] Confer- ence today adopted a resolution op- the pending bill in Congress make “The Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem of the United States. The resolution contended “The Star-Spangied Banner” was the out- srowt\ of a single historical event and was rat truly representative of the United States as a nation committed og? sme and good will. rthermore the resolution said it was-too difficult a music composition 5 be rendered well by school children, informal gatherings and public meet- ings at which the singing of the na- onal anthem was appropriate. Though no action was taken, the conference generally favored adoption of “America, the Beautiful” as the national song. Miss Mabelle Glenn, of Kansas ity; retiring president, was instructed to forward a copy of the reselution to Congress. The music conference had ad- journed formally yésterday, but per- sistent sentiment on the matter led to the executive committee and offi- cers taking action today.

The Arst notable event of that nature in the mu- sic world will be the singing of “The Crucifixion” by the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys in Bethlehem Chapel of Washingon Cathedral today at 4 ._m.

Tonight at Trinity Episcopal Church another cantata, Maunder’s “Olivet to Calvary,” will be presented. New York music lovers are rejoic- ing in the news that another series of the Goldman open air band con- certs in the mall of Central Park and the campus of the New York Univer- sity are #scheduled from June 16 to August 24. Noted leaders will wield the baton at these out-of-door music feasts. The New York Philharmonic Or- chestra, which played several success- | ful concerts in Washington this sea- son, has had the honor of being one of the foreign organizations selected to play at the great music festival to be held in Berlin from May 23 to June 16. The musical events include seven performances of a Beethoven cycle, works of Mozart, Wagner and Richard Strauss, while a choral festival will be held in the Congress Hall of the Bérlin exhibition grounds. An interesting é¢vening was the re- ward of those who heard the chorus of combined choirs from Baltimore, under the direction of thé Rev. J. Leo Barley, at Holy Comforter Hall, on Thursday evening. The program was as follows: “Ave Maria,” Gregorian; “O Emanu- el,” Gregorian; “Veni Sancte Spir- itus,” Gregorian; “Credo No. 8,” Gre- gorian (Tassi arr.); “Ave Verum,” William Byrd; “Tu es Petrus,” Pales- trina; “Tenebrae Factae Sunt,” Pales- trina; “Kyrie” (Missa Mar- celli), Palestrina; “Gloria” (Missa Bre- vis), Palestrina; “Honor Aeternus,” Gounod-Bruneau; “Adoremus,” FP. Nowoweljski; “Jesu, Jesu Mitis,” F. Nowoweijski; “Sanctus” (Missa Pa- triachalis), Lorenzo Perosi; “Bene- dictus” (Missa Patriachalis), Loren- zo Perosi; “Adeste Fidelis,’ Leo Man- zetti; “Tul Sunt Coeli,” A t Wilt- berger; “Oremus Pro Ponti ," John Singen berger. The Gregorian numbers were fairly rendered, the “Ave Maria” outstand- ing as nearest the best traditional interpretation. Of the classic poly- phony, the “Ave Verum” of Byrd and “Kyrie” of Palestrina were best sung In part two the “Sanctus” and “Bene- dictus” of Lorenzo Perosi were ob- viously the most-noteworthy, though the Nowoweljski numbers had their appeal. The modern music wag greatly aided by the admirable accompani- ments played by Christopher 8; Ten- ley, of Washington. The choir was fairly well balanced, though the altos and basses were superior to the other parte in tone and quality. The work of this chorus evidenced hard work on the part of all concerned, and when it is remem- bered that the greater portion of the compositions comprising the am were originally written according to Roman traditions, and consequently not for this kind of a chorus, it is surprising the results that Father Barley has been able to draw from the material at his disposal. The singers were well under the control of the baton at most times, and the tone quality was much bétter than on the last occasion of their visit here, though the absence of the choristers from St. Mary Star of the Sea was remarked. An organ recital will be given at St. John’s Church by T. Guy Lucas, M. A. Contab, organist and choirmaster, tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. The program will include Bach (1685), Prelude and Fugue, in D; Brahms (1833), Two Chorale Preludes, (a) “O World, I E’en Must Leave Thee;" (b) “My In- most Heart Rejoiceth;” three spirit- uals, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Go Down Moses,” “Tis Me, O Lord” (Harry Myers, Watson Ahlenfeld); Schubert (1797), Du Bist Die Ruh; Wright, Morning Song; Hollins (1865), Spring Song; thrée spirituals, “All God's Children Got Shoes,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” “Jeru- salem Morning,” Myers and Watson Ahlenfeld; Franck (1822), final. p The soloist ensemble, with Otto Torney Simon, director, and Ervine J Stenson, pianist, will present a mu- sical program at the Arts Club on Tuesday evening, with a program of Bach, Schubert, Brahms, Bantock, Hamerik and Wagner music.

BELL T all comes back to the surmise expressed in these columns many weeks ago to the general, if not the precise, effect that the time seems about to have arrived for the screen to essay grand opera. | As I recall it, the argument was that the cinema had already afforded ample proof that if the silver sheet could soothe the ear. with a concord of sweet sound, or engage it with dialogue sufficiently | pithy to justify an intelligent adult's attentive consideration, it did | not so much matter whether the camera recorded any particularly diverting action or not. All this seemed to have been demonstrated by the long succession of courtroom dramas, more than one of the mystery stories and the “Broadway Melodies,” “Movietone Follies,” “Gold Diggers of Broad- Ways,” and similar film novelties that had just then come along to set the customers by the ears, both literally and figuratively. A part of the contention—whether consummated or not I can not for the life of me remember—was to have been that if the micro- | phones could do as well as they did with inferior voices, employed in the rendition of mediocre music, they ought to be able to achieve a much handsomer effect in the more exalted function of preserving | vocal organs of the first order in compositions of imperishable merit. | There was no reason to suppose, so far as I could see, that vocal | superiority must of necéssity result in an inferior brand of micro- | phonic reproduction, although that seems to be one of the major | premises of those who are convinced that the screen is, as yet. capable of fulfilling its aspiration to rise above the commonplace. Photographically, grand opera offers no obstacle that the motion Picture ‘camera has not time and again demonstrateti its ability meet and successfully overcome. in- “Lovin’ to FORMER STAGE DRAMA ARLISS FILM V That the microphone is no less competent to render service that | is worthy seems to have been made clear by the first test to which it has been put in anything approaching the field of operatic effort. ; Pasty then only in limited degree. because there is only one singing role in the piece—is to be found in ‘‘The Rogue Song,”’ deserved second week at Loew's Columbia. Certainly none will deny that Lawrence Tibbett's voice, in its every “tone, its every shading, its every nuance, is robustly and magnificently operatic. It is my personal view that the Tibbett voice is not excelled | by any of masculine gender in the United States, and that none is more thoroughly eultivated or under more perfect control. These, [~gather, are the particular characteristics that should make it im- possible of satisfactory reproduction. Yet I have never before hap- Dered upon so.complétely fawless a recording. .i presume the point is that one operatic voice may be caught by Aivleound mechanisms, but not several. That seems to me a fallacious theory. At most, the recording of an operatic ensemble could hardly impose more hardships upon the highly sensitive ‘“‘mikes” than they triumphantly cope with in the opening and closing periods of “The Rogue Song,’ or—if the feminine voice is the stumbling block—in “The Shame Cry’ concerted number led Elsa Alsen, one of the greatest Wagnerian soprani of the present generation, whose glorious talents are virtually wasted in the meager role of the mother of Yegor and Nadja. Grand opera would only magnify a trifie. the task that bas already been successfully accomplished by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the first Tibbett vehicle. And neither am I in consonance with the view that the amplifiers have multiplied the Tibbett voice into an organ of several times its natural and its norma! strength. His singing of the role of Yegor Is, in its every tonal quality, his singing of the role of Yegor. I mean to say that, in my opinion, the mechanics of recording the ~eart have not at all thrown the singing of the character out of pro- portion. This conclusion I base upon the pianissimo passages rather than the fortissimos. In the “Little White Dove’ number, for example, ex- quisitely soft measures as well as those approaching full power, and both are equally well rendered, after the exact manner in which you would expect Tibbett to sing them. It is inconceivable that this | superbly artistic effect should be achieved by the mechanician pre- siding at the fader, instead of by Mr. Tibbett himself in most gracious and most melting mood. However, after all is said and done and sung, I am not at all con- vinced that grand opera would prove the ideal pastime for the mass motion picture audience any more than it serves as the most ardently embraced of the theatrical divertissements provided by the older | stage of flesh and blood. | HE only bit or recording. of which I am aware. that must have presented approximately the difficulties of grand opera—and | Warner Bros Theater of George Arliss in “The Green Goddess,” the Warner-Vita- phone adaptation of the thrilling stage play by William Archer “The Green*Goddess” is not set to the Victorian rhythms of “Disrxeli,’ in which the distinguished English ac- tor made his talking picture debut The newest and latest Arliss vehicle lg an exciting melodrama Presenting Arliss in his amazing characterization of the suave and sinister Rajah of Rukh, the picture recounts the hair-raising adventureés of three Engiish strangers—two men and a woman—whose plane, fiying through the Himalaya Mountains, is forced down in the tiny and known Kingdom of Rukh, where Green Goddess is worshiped The visitors are welcomed by rajah and taken to his castle. soon learn that they ers, and are on in retaliation for the execution British soldiery of the rajah'’s three half-brothers The case. of the doomed three is apparently hopeless. 4nd their fate is only an exciting series of escape Ralph Forbes, week at Metropolitan now entering a richly They are his prison- destined to be sacrificed by attempts H.

While her first notable hit is credit- ed to “Bird of Paradise,” each suc- cessive vehicle won wider acclaim on Broadway and throughout the Nation. During the period her plays were run- ning, Miss Ulric perused every manu- | script shé could lay her hands on, conferred with scores of playwrights and exercised other energies to insure a fitting successor. When she concluded a sensational | engagement in “Heart of Wetona” Miss Ulric had in mind two other plays she regarded as suitable. One | was “Tiger Rose” and the other “The Sun Daughter,” both of which ran many months in New York. Her most spectacular hit, “Kiki,” followed, and successive and notable productions were “Lulu Belle,” “The Harem” and “Mima.” “South Sea Rose,” in play form, was Miss Ulric’s choice for her next Man- hattan stage role, but Fox Movietone bought the story for a talking picture version. It is an adaptation of “La Gringa,” an original stage play by Tom Cushing. A group of outstanding stage and screen players constitute an excep- tional supporting cast in “South Sea Rose.” Charles Bickford enacts the male role opposite Miss Ulric, and others featured include Tom Patricola, Kenneth MacKenna, Farrell Macdon- ald, Elizabeth Patterson, George Mac- Fawane, Ilka Chase, Charlotte Walker, Daphne Pollard and Rose Ates.

A ROUNDABOUT ROAD TO FAME FOR FILM STAR Ruth Chatterton’s theatrical ca- reer has been a series of dares. When she was 15 years old she came to Washington to spend @ Christmas vacation from an exclu- sive Southern finishing school, The vacation Was spent in a round of matinees. She became stage-struck, and told her friends that some day she would be a great. theatrical sar. The other girls laughed at her but failed to discourage her. Then they dared her to go on the stage. Sae answered by getting a job the very next night in the chorus of a show that was playing in this city. ’ | Five years ago a motion picture producer offered Ruth Chatterton a huge salary to desert the stage for the screen. She turned down the of- fer and word went around Hollywood that Ruth Chatterton would never appear in pictures, But about eighteen months ago she was in the film capital again. A prominent director asked her to take a screen test, “just for fun.” Sne refused. He looked at her again and said, “You are afraid you won't make good on the screen, arsn't you?” That was a dare. She made the test the next day and it was pro- nounced a success. That test won her over to the screen as 4 medium for her art. Then came the talking films. Her | first appearance in the audible screen wasin “The Dummy.” Then came “The Doctor's Secret,” “Charming Sinners” and “The Laughing Lady.” Her fifth all-talking production for Paramount is “Sarah and Son,” based on the best-selling nove] of the same name by Timothy Shea. It is a pic- ture of a mother’s struggle to regain her young son who had been lost to her through the circumstances of hardship and poverty. “Sarah and Son” is now playing at Loew's Palace. The stage presentation, produced by Loew, introduces a novelty in that there are a trio of masters of cere- monies with the unit. They are the faumous Ritz Brothers, the original collegiate comics. Paul Remos and his Midgets, “mitey” big funsters; Olive Faye, dainty musical comedy star; Gloria Lee, acrobatic whirlwind dancer, and the Chester Hale Girls comprise the cast of the unit.

Dix was not forgotten. Shoetly after the war the play was produced and Richard Dix was given the lead- ing role.

On Tuesday of the past week, as duly recorded in the news columns, some three hundred Washingtonians assembled in the lafge lounge of the National Press Club, which is by way of being the auditorium, and there welcomed home the wandering thespians. The party was held under the auspices of the Advertising Club of Washington, with Mr. Ernie Johnston, its president, in the chair, with Mr. Charles Christopher Columbus on the floor, and celebrities from all walks of life scattered throughout the hall.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. MARCH 30, 1930. IPPLES on the RADIO WAVE News AND PROGRAMS OF INTEREST To RADIO ENTH USIASTS A A TTT i ii. AMOIO LEGISLATION MARKED BY TRENDS One Would Limit. Power of. Commission and Other + Make it Football. TWO BILLS IN CONGRESS By J. D. SECREST. Two definite trends are appar- ent in the radio legislation pentiing in Congress with regard to the Feda- eral Radio Commission. The first is that the autocratic power of the com- mission will be limited, and the sec- ond that the Federal regulatory body is to become more of a “political football” in the matter of minor ap- pointments. Provisions of two bills before Con- gress now specifically broaden the powers of appeal or redreas from de- cisions of the commission. One being considered for inclusion In the revised Couzens communications coni- miasion .measure, while the other is embodied in the bill introduced in the House by Representative Wallace White, jr., of Lewiston, Me. At present the only resort an ap- plicant for broadcasting facilities has from 4h unfavorable ruling of the commission ts to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. And the residents of the State, or listeners, as such have no recourse save perhaps the uncertain appeal to their respec- tive congressmen. Listeners to Have Recourse. The subcommittee of the Genate committee on interstate commerce is at work on a section of the new radio law that will enable residents of a State to obtain a writ,of mandamus and compel the Radio Commission to allocate the petitioner its full share of broadcasting facilities. If such a law was in force today, for instance, Wisconsin or Indiana could obtain such a court order to compel the commission to take some of the overquota cleared channels held by and distribute them between these two Midwestern States. Under _the present act these States, which are ulider the quota allotted them by the Davis amendment, can do nothing but make application to the commis- gion ahd, if refused, appeal to the court. This takes much time and money. The Davis amendment, for that matter, is admit y. impractical, and therefore the lack of equal distribu- tion of facilities among the several States is not altogether the ‘fault of the Radio Commission. This, too, will probably be remedied in the new leg- islation. Representative White's bill broad- the right of appeal from «2 com- ission decision s0 as to include any interested parties. Within 30 days after the filing of an appeal, the sec- tion reads, “any interested person, firm or corporation may intervene aud participate in the proceedings. * °* Any person, firm or corpora- Sine Who Would be aggrieved or whose interests would be adversely affected by s reversal or modification of the decision of the commission com- Plained of shall be considered an in- terested party.” Politics Enters Commission. ; Under the same bill the court may, “either on its own motion or upon petition by any party.” order the com- mission to take additional evidence in a case which has been appealed and report it back to the court. The United States Supreme Court has already ruled that the actions of the District Court of Appeals in most radio matters are administrative and not subject to review. This, in effect, makes the appellate court a super- ened body above the commis- Tne political character of the Radio Commission has only recently become epparent. A mild agitation was stirred up when an Elizabethton. Tenn., publisher was rewarded for his work during the Hoover campaign by being appointed Assistant Secretary with the alleged promise that he would soon be Secretary. Then. until the recent Senate hearings, there was little talk of politics in connection with the commission. With the election of Col. Thad H. Brown, Republican warhorse of Ohio. as general counsel of the commission, upon the advice of Lawrence Richey, sceretary to the .President, and through the manipulations of Maj. Gen. Charles McK. Saltzman. before he became chairman of the commis- sion; the uproar at the Capitol was renewed with vigor. Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, charged that the Radio Commission had become a “political football” and said he understood that Col Brown was about to appoint two egro assistant counsels. Gen. Saltz- was put on the carpet for rail- roading Col. Brown's election without consulting the legal members of the commission. White Opens New Jobs. Now cdmes the White bill, which will permit the commission to “ap- point such special counsel, attorneys, or engineers, special experts, exam- iners, and other employes as it shall from time to time find necessary for the performance, of its duties and as may from time to time be appro- priated for by the Congress.” Moreover, these, with the exception of the minor employes, will be exempt ‘from civil service, according to the bill. The salary of the secretary, a post recently made vacant largely be- cause of political pressure, will be raised from 86,500 to $7,500 per an- num, making it a veritable political plum. Thus practically the only brake on the appointment of these special ex- perts, examiners, attorneys, engineers, &c., will likely be the approprfations by Congress; but th are not apt to be held up if the dio Commission Offices offer such a juicy field for political rewards.

Spitzer, Washington sible for radio speakers to subsequently hear themselves through his catching their remarks with a dictaphofe. “Among those who have been amazed at the unknown and unin- tentional carelessness of speech are many of our really splendid orators,”’ Mr. Spitzer said. “One Cabinet member realized the unde- sirable effect upon his audience through his cgnsistent coughing and rasping of his throat in front of the microphone and has already remedied it. “A prominent attorney insisted upon referring to the ‘“Lawr’’ of the country and the “Chilrun’”’ of iniquity unttl he heard his own voice, from the proof of which he could not escape. “Rarely, if ever, do we notice such lack of vigilance in speech among radio announcers. They are trained in their profession and know what effect these speech idiosyncracies have upon the radio listeners. | “It might also interest you to know that during my course of ex- perimentations, from the angle of a layman, I have recorded the entire program of the opening of the naval parley in London, which includes a splendid reproduction of the speeches of -King’ George, Premier McDonald, Mr. Stimson and others. I am quite frank to say that during the process of such recording I got quite a thrill out of the thought that 1 might sit in my little apartment and be able to record the speeches that were being made across the Atlantic Ocean.” * . > 7 OTHING quite like the way DeWolf Hopper recited “Casey at N the Bat” has been heard over the radio for the reason that no one in the world ever had such a voice. Despite the fact that he has been the skipper of six wives and Is now 72 years old, Hopper’s voice boomed out of the loud speaker as youthfully and as naturally as if he had been answering a curtain call between the acts of “Wang.” Nor has “Casey,” first recited 40 years ago in New York at Wal- lack’s Theater, where were gathered Pop Anson's Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants baseball teams, even the suggestion of a gray hair.

WANTED BY NEWSPAPER oo — A reduction of the broadcasting facilities allocated to Chicago and a | subsequent fight among the stations for the remaining channels, appears almost certain in view of the alacrity with which station WITMJ, owned by the Milwaukee Journal, has respond- ed to an invitation to Wisconsin to make application for one of the cleared channels now used by Illinois. The argument used by the Chi- cago stations heretofore that it was providing satisfactory radio service to surrounding States, such as Wis- consin and Indiana, is rapidly break- | ing down under the fire of protests. | Iowa, by means of political pressure, was able to take 1,000 watts from the Windy City, and Indiana has been | making a bard, but as yet unsuccess- ful fight. for one of Chicago's cleared channels. . The latter State has only a half cleared channel. \" WTMJ was unsuccessful in its ap- | plication for the increase of its power | on the 620 kilocycle channel from 1.000 to 5.000 watts, which would have necessitated changing the re- | gional channel to a cleared channel. | But before this decision was received, | the Journal had applied for two other cleared channels, both now assigned to Chicago. The frequencies sought are the 670 and 770 kilocycles. The former is di- vided between WENR, operated by the Insull interests. and WLS, owned by the Prairie Farmer. WENR has just won a long and expensive court and now it is in danger of losing it. The 770 kilocycle channel is used WBBM, Chicago, and KTAB, Lincoln, Nebr. When the Wisconsin Congressional delegation appeared before the Radio Commission recently an@ demanded more facilities, the congressmen were told that no Wisconsin station had applied for a cleared channel. It was pointed out at this hearing that \ while Wisconsin is under quota in radio equipment, that Chicago has been granted 4.7 of the cleared chan- nels of the mid-Western zone, where- as it is entitied_to only 2.4. In addition, KYW. of Chicago, is fighting desperately in titfe Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia for its hold on the 1020 kilocycle channel, which rightfully belongs to the second gone and had aply been lent to the fourth zone. € com- mission has contended that the fre- quency should be reassigned to the second zone if application is made CREATE DISGUSDION | ceiver, it has never caused any annoy- ,ance, neither from the safety stand- AADIO SETS IN CARS Opponents of Movement to: Equip Autos Answered by Adherents. ARGUMENT IS OUTLINED A great deal of propaganda regard- ing the use of radio in automobiles has been in ciruciation during the past few weeks. Much of the discus- sion has discredited the installation of radio receivers as integral automo- bile parts. “It ts our belief.” EK. A. Hathaway writes in the Chicago Dally News, “that those making this complaint are not fully versed in the naiure of the apparatus, nor the operation thereof, and it is thought quite likely that 4 demonstration of the new feature would serve to convince them of the) shallowness of their convictions. “An automobile radio receiver has been installed in a car operated by the writer for a period of about five months. Aside from the pleasure de- rived from the use of this radio re- point, nor because tention. “Claims made by antiauto-radio propagandists are twofold. First, they say other motorists ate distracted in rattempting to locate the source of /musical programs out on the open | highway or along the city streets. It can be said emphatically that except in the case of open model cars, @ per- | son standing two yards from a parked | car in which a set was operating would | not be aware of the presence of the | set unless the volume were turned a maximum point. When the car is in motion there are always enough para- sitic noises to overcome the sound, and the car mentioned above, in which a set is installed, has driven in traffic without those alongside at stoplights showing any*sign of realizing that a radio program was being . received short of the nearest apartment house “Propagandists also claim the driver will be intent upon listening to the radio program, and will pay no atten- tion to his driving. This is inconceiv- able to the writer—after having driven not less than 6,000 miles with the radio installed and in operation over most of the mileage. Once the set is | tuned to a favorite station there is | little occasion to change the setitng of the dial or the volume control, and | it is a poor driver indeed who can not | turn the dial slightly while driving | slowly. We are loath to wonder how Grivers operate the choke on their car when starting in cold weather, or how they turn on their lights without | stopipng their vehicle. for usually such | controls are placed upon the instru- | ment board of the car.

To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: While it would be a thoroughly delightful task to set down an ideal radio program, it would be folly, in- deed, to suppose that my ideal would be anydhing like the ideal of the next fellow. For example, I think my keenest disappointments of the past few months have been the shifting of the General Motors and Gillette Razor programs from a popular char- acter to a distinctly classical char- acter. Both of these programs were topnotchers in the popular field, and their classics have bored me to dis traction. Again, I know that Dr. Damrosch has a very important following. And yet when I hear those honeyed tones of his attempting to teach hoi polioi how to like classical music, I imme- diately switch to some other program. It has ever been a cardinal principle | with me that the sort of art which requires one to learn to Iike it in- stead of carrying a spontaneous ap- peal, isn’t worth much. I didn’t have ,to learn to like Lincoln's Gettysburg | Address or Hamlet's Soliloquy. I also regard as rather worthless talks like those of David Lawrence, simply be- cause I read the newspapers and miagagines rather diligently and can get this encyclopedic information about the Government in a much more satisfactory way via such me- diums. I have always held that one of the longest steps that could be taken to- ward @ further poj@:larizing of *the | radio would be to introduce more of the features which characterize the | highest class of vaudeville perform- ances both here ahd abroad. Last night at about 11 o'clock I found my- self hearing over the WEAF network two girls supposed to be in show business and rehearsing, and their snappy patter and wise cracks were an unalloyed joy. We have all too little of such clever rapid fire dia- logue ovér the radio in spite of the fact that it is one of the best bets in vaudeville. It ts because of this opinion on my part that I have taken so much pleas- ure in the RKO hour in which Gra- ham McNamee acts as master of cere- monies, although I must say that there has been a distinct let down in the quality of this program since it started so auspiciously some months ago. But even as it now stands, it is away above the average, in my ésti- mation. ROSCOE PEACOCK. More Classical Songs.

The order specifies a maxi- mum of 10-wafts power for transmis- sion, except in special instances where atmospheric conditions require more. The maximum in the latter case shall not exceed 50 watts. Witnesses for the oil industry at commission hearings have testified that no satisfactory substitute is available for radio in physical ex- plorations, The mobile character of the service required, together with the simultaneous reception of signals by several parties In the field, makes it impossible to adopt wires for this | work. Radio is used as a timing medium in these explorations. A charge of ' dynamite is set off and simulta™eous" the exact time is flashed by radio end picked up by other groups, perhaps several miles distant. By minute computation of the time required for the charge to carry through the earth, it is possible for the scientists to de- ‘termine whether oi) exists In the ground. The speed with which sig- nals travel through different of strata vary, it is said, and thus by calculations, a definite p. Rae can be made. Wherever oll exists be- neath the surface, there is usually a salt dome, it was explained, and this: ‘is invariably detected by wave Prior to this discovery, ofl expl tions were made in a very haph be manner with wells drilled wherewr ~— it was suspected oll existed. The re- ‘sult was the drilling of many “@ry” holes gt considerable experme of time and money. The American Petroleum Institute has sponsored the granting of appli- cations to individua] ofl companies, The Geophysical Research tion, a subsidiary of the Amerada _troleum Corporation, is a larger hold- er of these licenses.

Long, the club president, introduced Maj. W. W. Burns who outlined a plan of erect- ‘ing a new short-wave transmitter and receiver in what might be termed as part of e District National Guard Armory. e new armory is a suite of three rooms, located on the floor of the National Hotel, at Sixth and Water streets southwest, which hes been set aside for a radio detail /s0on to be organized. The transmit- ter will probably be a SO-watt est consisting of such parts as are avail- able to members of the new radio ‘unit. Details of enlistment in this unit were also discussed by Burns and Capt. Daley, who w present. Cooperation on the part of th club was assured Maj. Burns by M. Long in helping to bulld the ne station. Several visitors were present, among whom was Master Sergeant M. Y. Hall, of headquerters of the 260th VU. &.

FLM STREET MODEL | _ HOME OPEN TODAY Mansion in- Leland - Section, _ Chevy Chase, Furnished With Antiques. HAS BEAUTIFUL SETTING The Washington Post Model Home et 4313 Elm stfeet opens for inspec- tion today. It is one of the remain- Ing few of a community of homes Dullt by M. & R. B. Warren in the extremely desirable. Leland section of Chevy Chase. Mrs. J. J. Dimon, in- terior decorator, has furhished the home with genuine antiques. Leland is conveniently located between two important highways, Connecticut and Wisconsin avenue, and is approxi- mately 20 minutes’ drive from the yery center of Washington. Excellent transportation facilities are also af- forded. In approaching the model home aiong graceful, winding Elm street, One passes Many new homes of dis- tinctive styles, and attention is di- rected immediately to the pleasing Surroundings. Trees and shrubs make @ beautiful setting for the model home. a stone and half-timbered Stucco structure of English type. The terraced yard at the rear of the house slopes down to a rustic bridge which crosses &@ small stream, and the land- Scaping along the stream forms «4 Gélightful background. The lot is Unusually large with a 60-foot front- age and an average depth of 157 feet. Has Flagstone Walk. An Inviting feature is a curved flag- stohe walk leading to the attractive hooded doorway. The entrance always gets the keynote of the architectural motif and it is in such details that @ house acquires distinction. The exterior walls of the first floor fre built of stone and those of the Becond floor are of half-timbered stucco. The gabled roof, the shutters. and the side porch enhance the gen- era] effect. In these days of automobiles 4 bullt-in garage is almost a necessity, and, of course, one has been included as a part of this carefully planned model home. The whole plan is mod- est. simple, and yet extremely attrac- tive in design. Fireplace Is Unique. A spacious living room, 23 feet in length, occupies half of the first floor. At one end of the room a unique open fireplace of brick and stone helps to strike a note of coziness and sociability. The other half of the first floor space is divided between the dining room, kitchen and pantry. On the second floor are two large bed- rooms, a nursery, and tiled bath with ghower. Those interested in antiques will undoubtedly enjoy browsing around the rooms which have been furnished with real antiques by Mrs. J. J. Di- mon, an authority on interior decora- tion. The draperies in the living room and dining room are of English semi- giazed chintz. Many interesting pieces of furniture in the Queen Anne style of the Georgian period are used in these two rooms. A fine Sheraton sofa of the type from which Duncan Phyfe drew his inspiration, a pair of Queen Anne side chairs, an early walnut desk of un- usual design. several on prints and Objects d'art are inclided in the furnishings of the living room. In the dining room there are an old Sheraton sideboard, a pair of tables of the later Sheraton type with reeded legs, and a set of Hepplewhite chairs. Floors Are Hardwood, The house contains hardwood floors throughout. The first floor is equipped with hammered iron electri- cal fixtures, and fixtures that har- monize with the decorations of the Dedrooms have been used in the second-floor rooms. A large attic provides an insulated space that offers protection against the heat of Summer and the cold of winter. There is a cellar under the entire house, part of which is used as the garage, the balance containing laun- ‘dry trays and the most modern hot- water heating system. The community of Leland has many assets. In the original planning a Continued on Page 2, Column 1.

"It is the art of expressing in wood and stone, brick and glass, and steel and bronze, human sentiments and human emotions. It is the art of ex- pressing human eleticn in a tri- umphal arch, of expressing dignified respect in the mausoleum of the dead, of expressing hope and reverence in the inspiring lines of the cathedral, of Suggesting joy and sentiment in the effect of the theater, of expressing the power and stability of government in the massive masonry of public build- ings: of expressing coziness, taste or Opulence in the dwelling of the family. “The architecture of today is the result of an evolution that goes back to the beginning of man's first crude efforts to build him a home in har- mony with his needs, his tastes and his desires. As a builder, man has always tione his best. The buildings of every age represent the greatest effort, both physical and mental, put forth during that age, the highest artistic achievements of that age, and the greatest development in crafts- manship during that era. Architec- ture is as old as civilization and has grown hand and hand with it. Greeks Employed Pillars. “Architecture is a science based upon the development of the art of building. The Greeks built without the arch, nected with great stones laid across from one to another. The Romans utilized the arch, and advanced in utility, far beyond Greek structures. age has added building to that of the age before Each age has made a definite itm- pression upon the ages to come. Every form of building, the arch, the lintel the cantilever, was known and used long ago. In architecture more than Each any other art we must go back into | the past to obtain future models for the “It i# much easier to comprehend | the arohitecture of today, having some knowledge of the fascinating | history of the past. Architecture may be said to have evolved through sev- eral distinct stages or periods. These are the Greek, the Roman, the By- | vantine, the Romanesque, the Gothic. the Renaissance, and, last, the mod- ern, which, in a sense, is not a dis- tinct type at all, but a combination | of all the others.” Discussing architecture in America. he explained it is in a sense only an outgrowth of the English. “Amer- ica, however.” he reminded. “has made two really worthwhile contri- | butions to world architecture.

Dwelling houses, school- houses, churches and stores were built of rough logs, the chinks between them being filled in with mud or clay. We Americans are proud of our first log cabins, and justly so. They stand for a record of achievement against terrifying odds. “Gradually the English settlers ir- troduced the classical form of the English Renaissance architects. .This marked the beginning of the colonial period as we know it. The colonial style was based originally upon the English Georgian, being the style then prevailing in England. “During the early years of the nine- teenth century the Greek movement, ietinetive. xiomes using vertical columns con- | to the Knowledge of | lofty building, extending | upward in 60 Many stories that we.

There will also be motorboat races on the Charles River, a football game between two of the leading colleges of America and other athletic events in the afternoon. In the evening there will be an illuminated water carnival at the Charles River Basin and a “night air raid” with spot lights and searchlights flashing on the airplanes as they go through “their maneuvers. The annual Forty and Eight parade also will be held that same night and, as usual, will be one of the outstanding night features Special arrangements have been made for a boxing carnival at the Boston Garden and this event with an ice carnival will be staged the sameé night. The annual dinner to the nationa] commander is also scheduled for Monday night. Parade Colorful Affair. The big parade, which always fea- tures the anhual convention week, willl take place on Tuesday, October 7, amd promises to be a most color- ful affair. The evening will be de- yoted to block dancing .in_.Copley Square, a big wrestling program and also a second boxing program. Many reunion dinners are also scheduled for this same evening. Open house will be held at Revere Beach, with all amusement places, scenic rail- ways and other features with special programs for the visiting legionnaires.

This is also the day set aside for the annual competitions for band, drum corps and glee club contests. The historical costume ball and pageant will take place the same night, and “ghosts ofthe past” in costumes dating back to the time of the birth of Boston in 1680 to the present time will stalk through the “Hub” City.

The last date for filing a claim for compensation in connection with disabilities received in the World War is April 6,/ 1930, in ac- cordance with the World War vet- erans’ act. Evidence must be submitted prior to this date to show service connection, according to Watson B. Miller, chairman, na- tiona] rehabilitation committee, the American Legion. If claim has already been filed and further evi- dence is required it should be sub- mitted to the U. 8. Veterans’ Bu- reau on or before April 6, 1930. This date is final for compensation claims.

The celebration was largely attended and proved one of the most successful affairs in the history of the unit. Announcement was made by Mrs. Jerome J. Lightfoot, chairman of the poppy committee that members of this city and, in company with Na- tional Commander O. L. Bodenhamer, visit the White House and extend to President Hoover an invitation for him to be the guest of honor at the convention in October. Breaking all precedents for conven- tion ratés for business east of the Mississippi River, the American Le- gion has secured diversé routes from the railroads of the country for those attending the convention this year. It is also Boston's tercentenary year. Under arrangements made with the railroads legionnaires for one and one- third rate will be allowed to go to the convention by one route and re- turn to their homes by an entirely different route,. giving them the op- portunity of continued new sightsee- ing. This is known as diverse routing and is the first time that such an 4r- rangement has been secured by the legion with railroads east of the Mis- sissippi “River. The precedent was established in view of the fact that this is expected to be a veterans’ convention of gigantic “proportions, over 800,000 being expected to attend. The local Boston convention travel committee for the Department of the District of Columbia is composed of FP. G. Praser, chairman; Miss Mabel FP. Staub, vice chairman; Howard 8.

In years to come there may be other youngsters with more showmanship to pin the first annual V. F. W. buddy poppy on the President of the United States, but it is doubtful if any youngsters so honored in the future will be more naive about it than was little Lois June Allen, who so deco- rated President Hoover last Wednes- day. After Lois had pinned the poppy on the President, that official picked her up in his arms and kissed her. Lois’ response to this honor was her demand, “Now give me my poppy back!” Bodenhamer, recently made, that posts | with | McGroarty unit of the | John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of thé national jegislative committee, was the principal speaker at the meet- ing of Victory Post held Tuesday evening.

District bankers are planning their convention in “the land of the sky,” greatenthusiasm being aroused among them by the decision of the District of Columbia Bankers Association to hold its twelfth annual convention at Grove Park Inn, near Asheville, N.

Vass, vice president and cashier of Riggs Na- tional Bank, has selected one of the most notable resorts in the world. Asheville’s altitude of 2,300 feet above sea level assures a delightful tempera- ture while the mountains which sur-' round it are the highest in Eastern America and provide many marvelous rides for the motorists. The famous Biltmore estate of the late George Vanderbilt will be open for a visit by the bankers and the Asheville Chamber of Commerce will present the keys of the city to the delegates from Washington. Because of the exceptional opportunities for ing and the social affairs that have been arranged, there are in- dications that there will be an un- usually large num-er of ladies ac- companying the bankers. A program of exceptional intereét and impor- tance will be prewnted and the com- mittee is urging attendance by «a large representation of officers and directors from every member bank. Attendance is not limited to mem- bers of the association and, as in the past, there will be present many from other lines of business more or less closely related to the banks. A num- ,ber of distinguished guests have also been invited. The annual golf and tennis tourna- ments have been arranged, as well as ® putting contest for the ladies.

Wall Street Briefs New York, March 29 (A.P.)-—The aggregate net operating income of the first.72 railroads to report the results of February operations amounted to $55,012,000, as contrasted with $%77,- 779,000 in February, 1929, a decrease of 29.2 per cent. The January aggre- gate for the same roads was $50,8568,- 000. The Baldwin Locomotive Works has received an order from the Central Railroad of New Jersey for five Pacific type locomotives and five switching engines. Stockholders of the Ludlum Steel Co., of Waterviiet, N. Y., of record April 25 have been offered rights to subscribe to 34,000 shares of common stock at $33 a share in the ratio of one additional share for each five held. preferred stock at 696 being offered. The May 19. a share also is rights expire 5 The A. O. Smith Co., of Milwaukee, has received, during the last three weeks, orders for 130,000 tons of pipe. valued at $10,000,000. One order calls for 261 miles of gas line pipe for the Montana-Dakota Power & Light Co. The Illinois Central Railroad, it was learned today, will soon ask for bids on more than 2,300 units of rolling stock. Among the many pieces of new equipment to be order- ed are nine olil-electric locomotives, 1,000 automobile cars and 1,200 gon- dola, hopper and fiat cars, 20 electric suburban cars, 65 cabooses and four dining cars. Cotton goods held steady with a fair amount of spot and April busi- ness being. done on gray goods. Blankets have been advanced. Raw silk is quiet and manufactures of hosiery and fabrics are buving iess In consequence of quiet trade. Wool goods are steadier with moderate advances reported. Burlaps were ir- reguiar in Calcutta and official quotations here are unchanged. The Illinois Central Railroad will spend $10,000,000 for equipment in 1930, including $1,000,000 for 1929 orders unfilled, President L. A. Downs said today. “The Illinois Central System,” he said, “is about to ask for bids on 2,330 units of equipment, the aggre- gate cost of which will be slightly less than $9,000,000. It will include nine oll-electric focomotives, 1.100 auto furniture box cars, 1,000 open top cars, 200 flat cars, 15 mail. baggage and express cars, 15 passen- ger cars, 20 electric suburban cars. 65 cabooses, two.rail motor cars and Reports failed to show any materia] improvement in the volume of new business coming into the steel mar- ket during the week. Consumers’ buy- ing was again apparently limited to requirements. Mill output was ir- regular with the Chicago districts reporting a decrease compared with recent weeks and the prospects that the second-quarter will be entered with smaller bookings made than usual at this time of year. There seemed to be a better market senti- ment, however, d*"* largely to expec- tations that consumers’ buying will improve soon as estimates indicated rather moderate reserve stocks being carried. Pig iron ruled unchanged. REVIEW OF TRANSACTIONS ON WASHINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE by W. B. Hibbs & Co.

W.—I am submitting a list of approximately fifteen stocks. I have I desire stocks which will yield a good return, which have ample resources in back of them, and which are in & good speculative position for an increase in value. Of the stocks mentioned, please mention those which you consider suitable. Answer—General Motors, Bulova, National Family Stores preferred and possibly Anaconda Copper. National Reserve Securities. G. A. H.—Kindly give me some facts as an investment of a bond purchased ac- cording to the plan of the National Reserve Securities Corporation of New York. Answer——-There is no record of this company in the business manual, and for that reason it can not be con- sidered as having much standing. Disregard it. Niagara Hudson Power. J. P. D.—Kindly advise me with re- gard to Niagara Hudson Power Cor- poration. What is the nature of its business, dividend paid; also whether it may be bought for the long pull. Answer—-Niagara Hudson Power pays dividend of 40 cents annually, and the stock may be regarded as a speculative investment with attrac- tiveness suitable for long-term pos- session. The company comprises the largest electric power system in the country. Earnings for 1929 equaled 61 cents a share on the capital stock. Last year Niagara Hudson Power solid more than 65 per cent of electricity used in New York State, and plans for expansion in 1930 involve an expenditure of about 830,000,000 Dividends were initiated by the quar- terly payment of 10 cents a share last September. United Verde Extension. Miss E. L. C.—What is your opinion of United Verde Extension. The re- port on the mine made by the United States Bureau of Mines seems most favorable, so far as ore reserves and Ite financial backing is concerned. As an investment, I would like to have your idea. Answer—United Verde has some slight attraction, though it can hard- ly be classified as an investment issue. In 1929 output totaled 55,- 000,000 tons, as compared with 44.,- 000,000 tons In 1928 at a production cost of about 7 cents a pound. Earn- ings for 1929 are estimated to have exceeded those for 1928, when 97 cents per share was earned. A large part of the money which is distributed in dividetids comes out of depletion of reserves, which is not regarded as a healthy condition. schulte-United. A. B.—Kindly give me your opinion regarding Schulte-United on the New York Curb Exchange, and the holding of same for the ‘ong pull. Answer—Schulte-United 5-cent to $1 Stores, Inc., is a speculation of the most radical type and is not suitable for investment. The company oper- ates about 60 stores in the United States and Dominion of Canada, sell- goods ranging in price from 5 The management is in the hands of the Schulte Stores and United Stores. Sales for the first two months of 1930 increased 128 per cent over the same time last year. Earn- ings have been poor, dividends on the preferred being barely earned in 1928, amounting to only 6 cents a share, while nothing was earned on the common. Profits for 1929, however, &re understood to have shown some improvement. Sales for last Decem- ber showed a gain of 160 per cent over the same month of 1928. Grand Union; Waldorf System. T. V.— Wishing to invest some money, I am writing for some data on Grand Union and Waldorf System. Answer—Grand Union returns nothing in the way of a dividend and must be regarded in the light of a speculative issue, and not suitable for investment. Waldorf System earned $2.50 a share last year, as against $2 in 1928. Sales so far this year are running in exceas of those of the previous twelve-month period Recent expansion programs are ex- pected to result in a big year in 1930. | The stock a shafe annually, and appears to be in a favorable position from the standpoint of a speculative invest- ment. Adolph Goebel; National Family Stores FP. 8S. A-—I have been following your suggestions for some time and desire some information on Adolph Goebel and National Family Stores. Answer—Net profits of National Pamily Stores last year were equiva- lent to $3.55 a share on 217.317 no par outstanding common shares. as contrasted with $3.35 a share on 90.- 000 shares in the previous year. The company is in a strong position, and which pays $1.60 a year, from the standpoint of a speculative investment holding. Adolph Goebel is not a dividend payer and must be earmarked a spec- ulation. Neet, Ine. FP E.—Being a constant reader of your column, I am writing for first- hand facts regarding Neet, Inc., con- vertible class A stock, which is listed on the New York Curb Market. I am planning to invest some money in the stock. Answer — Sales for 1929 increased 67 per cent over 1928, while net profits jumped 111 per cent. Earn- ings were equivalent to $6.14 a share on the 60,000 shares of convertible class A stock outstanding, or nearly four times dividend requirements of $1.60 per share per annum, at which rate dividends are regularly paid. The company ts in 4 strong position with respect to cash and net work- ing capital, current assets ag of De- cember 31 last being in excess of sixteen times current liabilities. Arrangements have been com- pleted for the introduction of the Neet product in continental Europe. and similar arrangements are ex- pected shortly covering Great Brit- ain and Ireland. There is also the possibility of the creation of a wholly owned foreign subsidiary, with head- quarters in Paris. Additions and betterments to plants have resulted in greater production at lower costs, and the directors anticipate a big year in 1930. Neet may be regarded as a speculative investment suitable for long-term holding. Cavalier Bonds. P. 8. L.—What is your opinion re- garding the Cavalier 644 per cent ponds I bought from the F. H. Smith Co. lest year? Would you gel] them for , & price which has been of- fered me? Would you place them on deposit with the bondholders’ protec- tive committee, or would you put them away and wait for the “storm” to blow over? Answer—It would appear that the best thing to do would be to deposit them with the bondholders’ protec- at a sacrifice. ithe family of Corcoran pays a dividend of $150}R. was held i chusetts oe A rr ee Se —— * ~ aa —— an elise in D. A. R. | Mary Bartlett | : The March meeting of the Mary Bartlett Chapter,.D. A. R.. was held on Friday, March 21, 4t the residence of the Misses Hadley. 1330 Harvard street, the assistant hostesses being the Misses Gott and Merwin. After the usual preliminary exercises, the chapter joined in singing “America,” Miss Hadley accompanying on the piano. Letters of sympathy were ordered sent to Mrs. L. A. Swartzell and Mrs. H. P. Young on account of the death of their mother, Mrs. Jones; and to Mrs. John C. Black, who was prevent- ed from addressing the meeting as ex- cted on account of illness. The ope was expressed, however, that the talk, and especially the ode to the flag, might be given in the near future at the “Meridian” milestone, near the Washington Monument, sup- posed to be the exact center of the old District of Columbia. This was the spot chosen by the Mary Bartlett Chapter years ago for their mile- stone, but permission could not be obtained from the proper authorities, as it was on Government land. At the request of our beloved chap- lain, Mrs. Bodfish, a letter of greet- ing and congratulations was sent to her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, of Ludlow, Vt.. who was that day cele- brating her 100th birthday, and a short but interesting sketch was given of her life. The regent, Mrs. Draper, read the annual report of the chapter which had been given at the State confer- ence, showing, among other things. that 843 had been contributed to Wakefield as a result of obtaining an advertisement for the D. A. R. Maga- zine; also money had been given to erect a “shack” at Camp Roosevelt, the Boy Scouts’ camp at Calvert Cliff; for the Kate Duncan Smith School in Alabama; to send a boy to Camp Neville for ten days; for stu- dent loan fund, Americanism, and to place two wreaths, at appropriate times, on the monument to the Span- ish-American War nurses who died in service. At the request of the chapter Mrs Draper gave at length the reasons why the daughters should especially honor those nurses, and read extracts from an article written by one of | them, Miss Bessie Severance, of Pon- tiac, Mich., giving an account of some of her experiences at that time while at Fort McPherson, Ga. Before refreshments it was only fair to them, who had so uniformly stood behind her in her | ant At the conclusion of the opening various plans for the capter to tell them that it was absolutely impossi- | ble for her again to accept the office | of regent and that they must decide before the May meeting whom they would like to elect as their head. as her term expired then. —_ Janet Montgomery The March meeting of the Montgomery Chapter, American Revolution, was held at the home of Mrs. Eugene Chevy Chase, Md. presided over by Mrs Moore, regent.

That ‘means that the solver has to examine 10,000,000 middle terms to find the relevant (simple or complex) middle term of the problem; for all the others must be declared to be irrelevant as they lead to disastrous or inane conclusions or results. The relevant middle term of the problem is: A problem in which if black does not invite mate in two moves, white can force one of the following series '1 @-Kt5: 2 @-B6 or R-B8 or P-R6G '3 mate.

The London conference has failed in its effort to bring about naval reduc- tions and limitations. It has now trans- formed itself into a political gathering, and is discussing subjects which can not be settled at a conference. Only misunderstanding and ill féeling can be the outcome of continued discussions. A glance at the position of each party to the conference will reveal the irrec- oncilable nature of the political ques- tions now under discussion. The British prime minister would like to make an agreement that would maintain British sea supremacy with- out calling for additional expenditure for ships. Finding it impossible to in- duce France to cut down its naval pro- gram unless Great Britain consents to a naval alliance, Mr. MacDonald is now vainly trying to induce his countrymen and the Dominions to pledge the empire’ to. France. The hard«headed British people refuse to make that bargain. _ France has no interest in the success of the naval reduction conference. It |, suspects that Great Britain and the United States have a secret understand- ing inimical to France. It sees an op- portunity to exact from Britain a naval alliance as the price of agreeing to a naval treaty. If Britain will not agree to such a “security pact,” France will -~Iét the conference fail, and will there- upon be free to build the navy which she would like to build. Italy will not sign any agreement that gives France naval superiority. Japan, like France, suspects Britain and the United.States. It also sees an opportunity to obtain naval concessions, and is putting off the acceptance of any proposals, waiting to see how much ‘more it can demand. The American delegation has dangled before Mr. MacDonald an _ intimation that if Great Britain will make an alli- ance with France, thus bringing about a five-power treaty, the United States might agree to consult with the powers in case of threatened war. The Ameri- can delegation seems to think that if it can bring home a five-power naval limi- tation treaty the Senate will ratify it, no matter what price has been paid. President Hoover has put his foot down against a commitment to confer with other nations. Consequently the American delegation has been forced to shuffle away from the position it as- sumed last Tuesday. It is now hinting that it may agree to a “negative ar- rangement” if the other powers will make an agreement for a naval limita- tion treaty. This “negative arrange- ment” seems to be a plan to acquiesce whenever the League of Nations de- cides to boycott and blockade a nation. In that event the United States is to refrain from trading with the pro- scribed nation, _ The London conference, in a word, is trying to “put teeth” into Article VXI of the covenant of the League of Na- tions, with the consent and pledged co- operation of the ‘United States. This attempt is even more hopeless than the simple attempt to bring about limitation of navies, which has failed} because of lack of preliminary ex- changes of views. To the extent that the American dele- gation is flying in the face of President Hoover’s policy it is incurring responsi- bility for the bad feeling that will sure- ly result from these political discus- ‘sions. The American delegation can not sign a political agreement, and therefore it is playing false with the other delegations when’ it holds out to them the hope that it will sign. Mr. of his negotiators while they are ex- ploring the possibilities of a naval agreement, but they have already over- stepped the bounds of their authority and are in for a rude awakening, either in London soon or in Washington later. The powers ought to know that what- ever agreements they may make among themselves, looking to the identification }and punishment of an aggressor, can not have the positive or negative sup- port of the United States. No bargain of this kind can be made, even for the sake of consummating a naval limita- tion treaty. The United States must maintain its freedom on the seas as a neutral. This is more important than a naval limitation treaty. It goes to the heart of American commercial inde- pendence and prosperity, American se- curity at the Panama Canal, and Ameri- can avoidance of involvement in foreign wars. Mr. Stimson does not seem to see the necessity of keeping the United States free from political engagements which would forfeit freedom of the seas. President Hoover sees it, and the Sen- ate sees it. The adjournment of the London con- ference, with a frank and friendly ac- knowledgment by all concerned that it was prematurely called, would be the best way out of the muddle. A later conference, .with a statesman at the head of the British government, might have some chance of success. DAMS AS GIFTS. When Congress authorized construc- tion of a dam in Black Canyon at na- tional expense it set a precedent that will return to plague that body as long as its geherosity is remembered. It has virtually invited every section of the country to come forward with a de- mand for Federal funds. Even before the Black Canyon project gets under way néw demands for power dams are being heard. Gov. George H.: Dern, of Utah, has ment construction of power dams at the Flaming Gorge and Dewey sites in the Colorado River system. The intention of Congress, as expressed in the Black Canyon dam act, was that these proj- ects should be financed from profits of the Black Canyon plant. But Secre- tary Wilbur proposes to sell the power at the lowest price that will return the Government’s investment in the Black Canyon dam in 50 years. That will leave no surplus from which to finance the Flaming Gorge and Dewey projects. Hence, Gov. Dern is demanding that one or both of these upper dams be con- structed concurrently with the Black Canyon development. The Utah Governor takes the position that his State made the Black Canyon dam possible by adhering to the six- State compact. That action was taken only on the assurance that a surplus would be built, up for the construction of other projects farther up the river. Secretary Wilbur’s allocation would give California, Nevada and Arizona cheap power. Why should not other States be given similar benefits? Un- less cheap power is developed concur- rently in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico those States will suffer an industrial disadvantage. The Western States are fighting desperately for in- dustrial development. They feel, in the words of Gov. Dern, “that there can be neither excuse nor explanation for this exhibition of favoritism for the lower basin States.” Congress will find it difficult to ex- plain why Federal money is appropri- ated for development of cheap power for one section and not for another. When such a precedent is set why should not New York demand Federal development of power on the St. Law- rence for its special benefit? How can Congress refuse to develop the Colum- bia for the Northwest, or any other river for any other section of the coun- try? There will be no end to the de- mands on the Tredsury as the result of the Government’s gift to the South- west. FORD IDEA IN ENGLAND. Henry Ford has set out to convert Britain to his economic theories. In an interview published in the London Spec- tator he announces that he intends to pay a minimum wage of about $25 per week in his new English plant. Inas- much as he intends to employ. 30,000 men in England his new wage scale may Hoover does not wish to tie the hands started a campaign in favor of Govern. least, that is Mr. Ford’s objective. In higher wages he sees the solution for Britain’s industrial difficulties. Theories on which the British gov- ernment is trying to relieve unemploy- ment and stimulate manufacturing are antiquated, Mr. Ford says. Nothing constructive can be accomplished through the proposed tariffs or unem- ployment measures until the wage scale is raised. British industry must take on new life. It is now old-fashioned and wants to remain so; but, says Mr. Ford, British industry will succumb unless it accepts the modern philosophy of prosperity. Great Britain is largely dependent on its export markets. Many of those markets have been lost in competition with the United States, Germany and other countries, and industry in the British Isles has been in the doldrums ever since the war. It is doubtful if Britain will ever occupy its former po- sition in world commerce, but its situ- ation might be greatly improved by the creation of a home market. It remains to be seen whether or not England will accept the American philosophy. large a domestic market as the United States, but its population is much more compact and transportation charges would be less. Why can not Britain eliminate its unemployment and revive its former industrial vigor by payment of higher wages? Should this theory take hold in England the results would be of far-reaching importance to the United States. The high-wage princi- ple would no doubt spread to the con- tinent and conditions throughout Eu- rope would: be improved: This would not only stimulate industries of the countries involved, but would expand international trade. Mr. Ford’s ex- periment will be watched with interest throughout the world. DRAFTING INDUSTRY. Ever since the World War there has been talk of drafting dollars as well as | men in the next national emergency. Every one agrees to the principle that one group of men:should not be allowed to remain home and grow wealthy -while-another group is at- the front, facing death in a common cause. But there are many different ideas’ as to how industrial] strength should be mo- bilized, and Congress has not given the matter sufficient attention to bring order out of these vague theories. The War Department is engaged in an extensive survey of industrial re- sources and plants which could be put to manufacturing war supplies when- ever need arises. In many instances factories could be diverted to produc- tion of munitions and other supplies with little change of machinery. Every plant is charted according to its adapta- bility, so that war-time production would interfere only to a small degree with a factory’s normal output. Indus- trial leaders realize that this method works to their advantage, and in most cases they are glad to cooperate with the Government in making whatever arrangements are necessary for indus- trial mobilization. This plan does not contemplate confiscation of factories by the Government, nor Federal opera- tion of them. But the exact relation- ship between the Government and in- dustry in time of war has not been worked out. There is before the military affairs committee of the Senate a resolution by Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, pro- viding for the appointment of a com- mission “to study and consider the feasibility of equalizing the burdens and to minimize the profits of war, to- gether with a study of policies to be pursued in event of war so as to em- power the President immediately to mobilize all the resources of the coun- try.” The commission would be com- posed of four senators, four representa- tives, the Secretaries of War, Navy, Agriculture, Commerce and Labor, and five other persons. As a logical sequel to the work that has been done by the War Department this commission should be appointed to advise Congress as to what action is necessary to co- ordinate all elements of national de- fense. Senator Dill is convinced that a con- stitutional amendment must be adopted before any steps toward mobilization of industry can be taken, and has pro- posed an amendment authorizing the Government to take private property for national defense. The Government took over the railroads during the World War without such an amend- ment. The Constitution gives the Gov- ernment a right to condemn property | have a decided effect on industry.

The whole subject de- mands the attention of a body of ex- perts. _— ~_T. * ee eee ee —- = INTERSTATE BUS TRAFFIC, Approval by the House of the Parker interstate bus bill does not end the con- troversy over the measure, for the op- position will be renewed in the Senate. Nevertheless, the necessity of fegula- tion of buses engaged in interstate transportation is so apparent that there ‘need be no doubt that it will be forth- coming. The Parker bill would vest the regu- latory power in the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Bus operators would be required to obtain certificates of convenience and necessity before they could begin operation, and the commission would have broad power over interstate rates. Supporters of the measure contended that the number of bus lines has been increasing so stead- ‘ily as to call for regulation, and that in- asmuch as there is no way for the ‘States to regulate or control lines oper- ating in interstate transportation there ‘must be Federal regulation. The op- ‘position, however, contends that the bill is an attack on the competitive sys- tem—that it would, in effect, give rise to monopolies. If it were possible from the stand- point of public safety to regulate buses engaged in interstate transportation through any medium other than the Government, and buses were not com- petitors of the railroad, the operation of which is rigidly controlled by the Interstate Commerce Commission, it would, perhaps, be better not to disturb the existing competitive system. The States, however, have found themselves helpless to regulate interstate buses and the railroads have been forced to adopt the bus to their own purposes in an effort to counteract the competition of the private bus operator. At the close of 1929 there were 62 steam rail- roads using a total of 1,253 buses over 16,793 miles of route, while 260 electric railways and their subsidiaries were using 10,062 buses over 20,279 miles of route. Recently, the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Greyhound Bus Lines worked out a program for combination rail-bus service for which Interstate Commerce Commission ‘approval has been asked. The bus seems destined to ~* we play an increasingly important part in the national transportation machine. The House approved the Parker bill by a vote of 218 to 115. The show of opposition was impressive, inasmuch as the measure was unopposed in hear- ings. How it will fare in the Senate re- mains to be seen, but there need be no doubt that sooner or later Federal regulation of buses engaged in inter- state transportation will have to be pro- vided. EINSTEIN’S RESEARCHES. It is because Einstein delves deep into the infinite, concerning himself with the mysteries that are only vaguely understood by even the most learned men, that his various papers and pronouncements catch public fancy. In 1915 he set forth the law of rela- tivity, of which, it is said, only a bare handful of men can hope to have even a rudimentary grasp. A year ago he made public certain equations by which he claimed the mysterious laws of gravity and electricity could be har- monized. Last week he presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences a paper having to do with two strictly static solutions of the uniform field theory—the connecting link between gravity and electricity. The publie does not pretend to understand Ein- stein, but it is, nevertheless, interested in his work. Perhaps, subconsciously, the public realizes that Einstein is one of that little band which through the cen- turies has sought the truth about the universe, and as a result of the labors of which man has been able to a very limited degree to subdue nature to his purposes. The Newtonian law of gravity enabled man to make the be- ginning of understanding of the uni- verse. The Einstein theory of rela- tivity, when and if it is substantiated and becomes law, may enable man still better to solve the mystery. Harmoniza- tion of the laws of gravity with the laws of electricity may have more practical ramifications. Electricity can be insulated. Is it possible that some day man will be able to insulate the force of gravity? | Einstein works with fundamental mysteries. -What is the universe, what makes it behave, what is the explana- tion of its mysterious forces? These are questions that trouble simple minds; Einstein seems to have progressed further than ordinary men toward understanding them. THE HAITIAN PROGRAM, Boiled down, the Haitian commis- sion’s “solution” of the problem before it is to turn over the administration to Haitians, before they are competent to carry on. American competency is te be replaced by Haitian incompetency, for the sake of mollifying the native discontent. The election of a Haitian President by the natives is all right, if the presi- dent chosen should prove to have sense enough to cooperate with the American. Government in extricating Haiti from its difficulties. But in the end the United States must save Haiti, whether its president should prove competent or not. The Haitians can not save them- selves. The probabilities are that the expert- ment to be made will prove a failure, ough study of the situation are ske cal. They know all about native digs content, and are not anxious to perpetus ate American control. They perceive, however, that restoration of native control before the natives are compes tent to govern themselves merely pav the way to another American intervens tion, under conditions more disagre able than the present occupation... The Americans would settle the Haiti difficulty, once for all, by continued: pas- tient instruction and guidance, with, little offense to Haitian susceptibilit as possible, but without too tender gard for the politicians: who are t to restore a regime of graft and cor tion. oa The commissién, after a few days’ of : consultation and inspection, confidently proposes a program based upon the as- sumed ability of the Haitians to mana their government. This program is te — be tried out. Nothing would please ee 68 tians rise to the occasion by exercisin prise well-informed. Americans’ more than to see the experiment succeed.

A the Egyptian Legation last week there was an informal: celebration—a lunch- eon for the legation staff—of the anniversary of King Fuad of Egypt, for which the Charge d’Affaires, Ali Ismail Bey, was host. A re- ception had been planned to mark the an- niversary in more formal fashion, but this was given up because of official mourning for former President: Taft. Anniversary, fetes of one sort or another have contributed no small measure of inter- est to the tale of this week’s activities, Sec- retary Mellon of the Treasury and Mrs. Ed- ward Everett Gann, sister of Vice President Curtis, both celebrated their birthdays on Monday, the one with a party given in Pitts- burgh by a group of his old friends, the other with an informal dinner at which members of the family house party which Vice President and Mr. and Mrs. Gann have been entertaining all week were guests, It was in early March,’ by the way, that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes passed his eighty-sixth milestone and another of Wash- ington’s distinguished stalwarts, Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, celebrated his eighty- sixth birthday on Thursday, attending, if you please, two parties in his honor. One, a tea, was given by his son and daughter-in-law, Maj. and Mrs. John Nesmith Greely, and the other, a buffet luncheon, by Mrs. James C., Pilling, who had gathered together some 60 old friends of Gen. Greely to help him cele- brate the anniversary. Prominent among them David L. Brainard, U. S. accompanied Gen. was Brig. Gen. A., retired, who had on his famous ex- pedition into the Arctic, from which but seven men of the original party of twenty-five re- turned alive. The twe are now the only sur- vivors. Gen. Brainard, who celebrated his seventy-third birthday last December, was married in 1917 to Mrs. Guthrie, of New Orleans, and now makes his home in Wash- ington. Mrs. Brainard was also a guest at the lumcheon, as was daughter, Miss Rose Greely, with whom he lives, and Maj. and Mrs. Greely. Moreover, yesterday there was a birthday party—a fancy dress affair, with some fif- teen or twenty youngsters taking part—for little Miss Gladys Crail, daughter of Repre- sentative and Mrs. Joe Crail, who thus cele- brated her seventh annivefsary. . * 7 > LTHOUGH President Hoover has put off A his first visit to his camp on the Rapi- dan, originally designed to coincide with the opening of the fishing season, Mrs. Hoover motored up to camp on Friday and looked things over. Taking a few guests with her, she spent the night, returning to the White House yesterday. The President and Mrs. Hoover now have as their guest Representa- tive John Q. Tilson, who is convalescing at the White House after an attack of grippe, which kept him confined to the Naval Hospi- tal for a week or more. Mrs. Tilson is in Europe and Mr. Tilson has been “batching it’’ since her departure, so the invitation to come to the White House and be pampered a bit must have been particularly welcome. The activities of the week just past came to a thrilling close yesterday with the society circus at Fort Myer. There were perform- ances both afternoon and evening, so that pretty much everybody had a chance to view a spectacle in which horse show features were combined with circus stunts and all manner of pageantry for good measure. * - - od i» Kooteais presented his credentials to President Hoover, Sir Ronald Lindsay is now officially Ambassador of Great Britain to the United States. However, the usual round of entertaining to welcome a new en- voy is waiting until after ‘the close of the period of mourning for former President Taft.

Mr. Little will trace the art of the silversmith and goldsmith from the early Egyptian days, through Greek and Roman history, up to modern times. According to Mr. Little,, the custom of burying spoons with the dead may have been a forerunner of the English custom of giving funeral spoons to pall bearers. On one of which Mr. Little will have on exhibition at the lecture, there is engraved, “Live to die,” and the reverse, ‘“‘die to live.” The work of two of America’s most famous silversmiths, Joseph Hull, of Boston, who operated the first mint, making what are known as “Pine Tree Shillings,” and Paul Revere, whose handwrought silver is prictless today, will be discussed by Mr. Little.

There will be an interesting exhibit of gold and silverware at the lecture, showing a dinner table set with French Renaissance silver, a luncheon table set with early colonial ailver, a tea service of English wedgewood, and a dressing table with replicas of famous old gold toilet pieces.

A eRe News of a and Artists inthe Citys ;DameF Water Colors Of Still Life At Arts Club _ | Attractive Paintings by | Miss Combs and Wiess | are > Shown. | By ADA RAINEY. HE paintings by Frances Hunger- ford Combs and Eugen Wiesz are the attraction at the Arts Club this week. In the reception room of the club and overflowing into the dining room are the radiant water colors of Mrs. Combs. These water colors are naturally all of flowers, or when they are of still life they are as decorative and as charm- | ing as are the flowers. Mrs. Combs uses a pure transparent | water color without any admixture of | Opaque pigment. There really seems | to be a radiation of light that streams from these flowers as if the artist had captured the brilliance of the open and brought it indoors. In no way attempting anything pretentious, Mrs. | Combs does something very sponta- neous and captivating in these flower | paintings. She disclaims being a pro-. fessional and says she paints for the | ne me en ae re ee er - - — ™ —: EL A ee SRN t-te ne “ rae wae ee in ee hat A cae ila tt Meal a a ide re Pie aby iP aan ‘ee Pye ee , r at spe” - Wa: i, Ta Cae are of exquisite finesse.

There is a rare painting of a Budd- | histic diety which is a votive offering | recently discovered by Sir Aurel Stien in the cave of a Thousand Buddhas in Tun-Hunang, in western China. joy of it. This is the secret of their charm, for it is almost always true that when an artist takes a deep joy in his work that this is reflected out- ward toward the spectator. Certain i» is that Mrs. Combs expresses the beauty of flowers in a delightful way ana the quality of them is choice » Frances Combs is one of the many | artists who really Who is doing work that deserves to be better known. She studied at the Corcoran Gallery and later taught art tr one of the schools in the city ‘Then she married and has since made art her avocation and pleasure, study- ing under teachers only occasionally in the summer. belong here and Perhaps this is the reason she has the ight touch, free from any burden of hér work or art his is the first one-man show that She has had, although her work has been exhibited at the Arts Club and in the Corcoran Gallery from time t« time.

The hands are merely suggested, yet they rather call attention to themselves, leaving one to wonder what would be the ef- fect if they were completely modeled as is the face In the water colors. water colors by Eu- new gallery are of large that interesting the to play the picturesque The one of two fig- whom is and Mr. Weisz is frankly bold and shows the influence | of present-day tendencies. They are the freest and most spontaneous works in the exhibition. Most of them are of Gloucester, its inevitable boats and water front. There is ex- cellent construction and a sense of the third dimensional quality that is welcomed. A good nude, foreshort- efied in an unusual manner, adds a Evwropean note to the group which is completed with “Province” and an idylic landscape called “Mountain Heights.” This is a delightful paint- img showing a quality that is rare and a color that is deep and full. Al- though the room is not filled with canvases, the impression is one of versatility and skill. ’ Mr. Weisz is one of the instructors t the Corcoran School of Art and in e art department of George Wash- ton University. This is his first ne-man show in Washington, al- ough he is usually represented in i Society of Washington Artists in eir annual shows, and a number of gee in the present showing have een seen here before, most of them appearing to better advantage when en in company with his other paint- gs, as in this exhibition At Freer At the Freer Gallery recent acquisi- ' ons have been placed on view in two Gallery. s, where the Whistler etchings | rere formerly hung.

He hra many | interesting experiences and photographs of the former Duchess | of Marlborough, and the Countess | of Essex in their own palaces amore a number of less well Known women. Some of these photographs are in \the exhibition, together with a |photograph of the present king of | Serbia.

Then there is the charming wood interior. “If I Could Put My Woods in Song.” Scme of the photo- graphs are transferred to etching paper from gum bichromate, but the wood interior is of the simplest mechanical process and one of the most satisfactory The bequest can be uced in any way that will best serve the interests of the department of photography which is under the direction of A.

Mr. Child at the Corcoran Gallery. He has been | in Washington since the opening of his exhibition. He has been commés- sioned to paint a portrait of former | President Coolidge for the State Capi- | tol of Vermont. A word of appre- ciation by Will Hutchins of the art department of the American Univer- | sity is here added. “Portrait painting in general may be said to be threatened from two sides. Probably the more tain that since a portrait is a work of art, so called, the painter is thereby absolved from all obligation to give every right to demand—an authentic likeness. To maintain, as is some- times done, that likeness is a sub- is entitled to take refuge behind a barrage of words which seek to say, in sum: ‘That is how he looked to me, is a vain thing. Likeness is pri- marily and essentially a matter of sound drawing—nothing more nor less, and, we repeat, the public have every right to demand it. No amount of cleverness, however brilliant in manner, can atone for its lack. “But, from the other side, there is always the opposite danger that mere likeness may degenerate into the mechanical and commonplace render- ing of fact without a touch of imagi- nation or style. Bank presidents and college professors, after their re- spectable demise, are all to frequently recreated in effigy, to the boredom of posterity, in alleged portraits, painted from photographs and differ- ing from photographs only in being, if possible, more mechanical than their sources. Portraits of living men, or men who once lived, they are not. “Edwin Child is a painter of living men. His whole art may be summed up in that one statement. His por- fraits not only look like the sitters. always the first thing required, but | they are characterizations of those sitters in which a keenly quizzical mind has approached live men with al] the interest of a fresh curiosity traveled in | | skill, Italy and | in the | He has exhibited | three times in| at the National Gallery of Art will be | an extension of a week beyond the | has been executing some commissions | insidious attack | comes from those painters who main- | what the patron and the public have | | entirely. the patron and | Edwi in B.

Take away sympathy and understanding, a catholic interest in human beings, and above all the sense of humor which makes the world a _ glorious game, and no amount of .technical style of brushwork or pictorial sense will make a pertrait. Now these essentia] human qualities are precisely the qualities demonstrated in Mr. Child's exhibition. It would be hard to overstate the degree of hu- | | man interest which lies behind the creating of these canvases. “Given a sitter of genuine interest, an authentic person—and the present | exhibition includes about as inter-| esting a group of dynamic personalli- ties as we are likely to see gathered together at one time—and the painter | | Tesponds with an equal stimulation. Every portrait in the world worthy of the name is a dual work. It may be a battle betwen painter and sitter, or it may be a cooperative enterprise. The precise proportion contributed by each is an infinitely variable formula, but the mutual response must be there. Evidently Mr. Child has the trick of arousing just that condition.” > . > .

Styles - | Of Ruffs Worn This Season High ‘Standing Collar Is Necessary for Outer Apparel. By VYLLA POE WILSON. John King, Bishop of London. In 1590 preached a sermon decrying the extravagance of the ruffs worn by the men and women of his day. In this modern day it is very doubt- ful if the men of the community will ever be called to account for this vanity, but certainly this spring the women who follow the fashions are wearing deep ruffs, shallow ruffs, thick ruffs and double ruffs in the modernized form, of course. First the ruff appeared on the collars of the evening coats and on a few of the coats of last summer. This spring some kind of high standing up col- lar seems to be a necessary for an outer wrap. Many of the dresses have ruff-like neck arrangements. Of course we have not yet reached the stage when we wear a ruff en- tirely encircling the throat and standing high up about the chin and ears. But we are wearing them 50 high in the back that they are seri- ously interfering with the brims of |the hats until the milliners have | been driven to cut the brim off er- ,tirely across the back, giving even |, more than ever an effect of a poke bonnet to the Easter millinery. Since we are told that the women jin continental fashion centers ae | really allowing their hair to fall |about their shoulders’or even longer | the old fashioned band which is also among the features of the new fash- ions seems to give promise of popu- larity as it combines comfort with becomingness. This band is really a ruff without pleatings or is a flat- like collar wired up in the back, sometimes standing away from the head. With tiie vogue for the Victorian fashions it is not surprising to learn | that intriguing little hats for flow- ers have narrow brims of tulle to match the tulle ruffles which are fastened in a more comfortable fash- ion than those worn by Queen Eliza- beth, but seem to have been quite in the mode when Queen Victoria reigned. i High Collars Flare. Even the sport coats show a ten- dency to the high in the back collar. On them, and some of the models designed for other wear, high collars flare smartly away in the back, sug- gestive of the directoire influence Dame Fashion has thrown down the gauntlet to those who would fol- low the styles and challenged them to attempt to be smart without the gauntlet gloves of fashionable lengths as a final touch to their costumes. The sleeves of both dresses and wraps have taken on the gauntlet cuffs effect with very good results Some of the prettiest of the plain tailored dresses have ruffs of lace in the back and deep gauntlet cuffs to match, giving that touch of feminin- ity so necessary for those desiring to” be up to date The vogue for everything going to- gether extends to the gloves and cuffs. Many of them are made of straw but the purses or handbags designed to go with them. Every one liked the silver and gold kid gloves of the winter so much that even the washable ones of the spring have detachable cuffs of one of these attractive shimmering leathers. Some of them have matching bags and hat- bands, and the soft kid pumps show just a suspicion of a tiny binding of the shining leather. | One of the outstanding develop- in clothes of the last few weeks, especially those of the real spring variety, is the combination of the same color but in different fab- rics in one costume. The soft, silky finished tweeds used for coats and | wraps may be worn with a dress .of satin or silk of exactly the same |shade. and another material may be added in the corded silk of the high collar and deep gauntlet cuffs. ments Seen in Evening Gowns. Even in the realm of the evening gown the combination of two or even three materials of the same color is apparent and does away with the patchwork effect resulting from using heavy and lighter weight materials to- gether.

AVING recently attenced a fash- H ionable soiree at the salon of Lanvin, I am reminded of an interview I had with her more than a year ago. How true have become [her predictions of that day! Allow | me to repeat what she said Decem- | ber 24, 1928: | “I am in favor, first of all,” says Mme. Jeanne Lanvin, “of greater fem- |ninity in women’s dress, so far as it is compatible with the changed con- 'ditions of modern life, and I am doing }everything in my power to bring about its return. “Of course, I realize.” ued, elegance of yesteryear—the woman who goes in for sports, the woman who drives her own car, the woman ‘who has a profession, can not load herself down with garments impracti- | cal for those things. jective matter, and that the painter | : “But in adapting feminine attire as an expression of the times in which we live, we went too far. fied evening gowns into sheaths—the afternoon tea gown “and semiforma] dinner gown disappeared Sports wear was allowable anywhere. Gracefulness Returning. “Now we are beginning to realize that we have gone too far. We are commencing to bring back graceful- ness and soft beauty wherever possi- ble. We realize that just because a woman drives her own car during the daytime, or plays tennis in the morn- ing, dressed suitably, is no reason why the same woman need dress with the same Spartan simplicity in the even- ing, at dinner or the theater. “So because women want to be more feminine once more, we have the mode dividing into definite trends— the simple, practical sports and street costume, with short skirt, rather straight lines and simple construc- tion, and at the same time the late afterroon and evening mode with | longer skirts, a return to feminine 'curves, and graceful intricacy of con- struction and trimming. Designers Sense the Mode, “Note that I emphasize that this ts because women want it. We do not she contin- | “that conditions of t day do not | permit of a complete return to the/ We - a el impose the mode—we try to sense it. I like to say that the mode is the air of Paris. Take the best of Parisian designers. shut him up away from contact with the outside world, or send him away to some foreign coun- try—-he will be worth nothing.” Thus spoke, over a year ago, Madame Lanvin, chevalier of the Legion of Honor and leader in the Parisian Haute Couture, who began her career as a humble modiste al- most 50 years ago. Within the year her predictions have come true in the entire world of fashion. Everywhere now we see a return of admitted femininity to the mode, yet not a return to any of the older styles that .were feminine, yet of another period. Nor is this to be construed as merely a style of this season or even of this year. It is a definite style epoch and one that is going to last many,.many years. No woman need hesitate to get herself outfitted in the new way, slowly but surely, be- cause styles will not change again overnight or overseason for many a year. And Accessories. The question has been asked so often. “What .style changes are ap- parent in accessories?’ ccessories have no particular style silhouette. and their silhouette has not the elasticity of change that garments have. Stockings can change only in color, gloves. in leggth and jewelry assume different proportions of colors and ways of being worn. But what has happened in the line of accessories is that they have become by themselves more elegant and finished, and in a woman's ward- robe more numerous and more in- dispensable to complete elegance. Nowadays a very elegant woman has a great many more shoes, gloves and hats in her wardrobe than did the same woman four or five years ago. This harmonious elegance of de- tail and completeness in an ensemble has always been one of Lanvin's par- ticular ideas. How pleased she is this season to see it so generally affected! And so, if you would have me ad- mit it, am I.

Where the bodice are joined there is a wide band of chiffon of the chiffon form the hem of the full, long skirt. Even the little jacket. to -be worn with this costume combines the three fabrics. The body of it is of crepe, banded with lace and chiffon, with a high, ruff-like collar in the back, made of both the lace and chif- fon. Very few girls will be able to resist wearing this to a formal after- noon event when the weather is warmer or for dinner at a hotel, for it has with it a most modish hat with the crown fitted close to the head, and a side and front brim of alternat- ing rows of chiffon and lace. The matching in color of all fabrics motif is seen in the blouses worn with the tailored and other kinds of suits. These blouses may be of silk or satin chiffon linen or lawn, but they are apt to be the exact color of the garment with which they are worn. Navy blue linen and lawn does not seem so at- tractive. ‘“awrefore, many women choose the white swiss blouses with polka or coin dots of the blue or blue and red to wear with their navy blue suits, or with dots to match any color the suit might happen to be. On the blouses the ruff and gauntiet ef- fect is apparent. Even if the sleeves are short under the coat gauntlet cuffs of the same material of the blouses are worn outside of the coat sleeves, and a high ruff fitted in the back of the coat collar takes the place of the scarf. Worn by Mrs. Hymes. One of the smartest evening en- sembles worn at a recent dinner was that of Mrs. Joseph H. Hymes. The dress is of black velvet, sim- ple but subtly cut, molded to the figure and with a slight train. The coat has shirred sleeves and is quite short, and has two large white fox furs for a collar, which Mrs. Hymes throws back over her shoulder. Mrs. Tracy Dows also is an advo- cate of the smartness of black and white, and wore at one of the recent concerts a black velvet dress and a white ermine coat with a small gros- grained hat fitting .very closely to the head. Mrs. James F. Curtis has-a modish tweed suit in brown and tan and yellow, made very plain with a three- quarter coat with a collar of the material high in the back. With thi she wears a small brown straw hat. Miss Elise Alexander had on at one of the evening parties a dress of rose silk net with a tiny flower effect al! over it.

Mrs. Catherine Bell McBride, of Texas, had on at a recent luncheon &@ suit of soft-finished gray tweed trimmed with smooth gray Yur. With this she wore a gray felt hat. Scarfs Again Worn. Scarfs flaunt their way in the best circles in spite of the fad for ruffs and berthas and cape collars. They must have a new note, however, to be really acceptable and an individual trick of arrangement. The newest of the scarfs for wear with suits are pleated three-corner ones which fit so well under the coat collar and give just the right touch when a handsome fur scarf is worn “falling off” the shoulder. Tulle scarfs with evening gowns are very good indeed again. Following the fashion note they match the ma- terial of th® gown in color instead of the contrast to which we have been accustomed.

ITH April in the immediate of- W fing, and no reason to believe that this one will behave any differently than its predecessors, the time has come to take stock of rainy day apparel and consider the delight- ful and efficient array of really smart equipment now available with which to combat the elements. That rainy day has gone that, Drought forth a parade of bédraggied women arrayed in their oldest clothes, most unattractive hats, shabby shoes, and antiquated umbrellas. Fashion has stepped in and removed the gloom and depression from a drizzly spring landscape by providing coats and hats and umbrellas and rubbers which are not only efficient but smart refiec- tions of current styles. Raincoats these days take their tip from the new silhouette and have moved far away from their erstwhile utilitarian appearance. A great many of the materials used in other-than- Paincoatse have been successfully adopted and adapted to ‘inclement weather. For instance, covert cloth is being cleverly imitated, tweeds and kashas have been found amenable to & water-proofing process. Herring- bone jersey knit fabrics have a nice spring-like quality, and the variously colored gabardines and cravenettes indigenous to the world of rainy day apparel are being fashioned into at- tractive coats, Gabardine and Plain Wool. Sketched at the right is one of the recent raincoat devélopments in gabardine—waterproofed—and Scotch plaid wool; a coat devised primarily as protection against the stormy weather, but not at all limited in its talents. It is a grand topcoat for motoring, excellent to slip on over riding clothes on the journey to and from the club or stables, in fact 4 garment of innumerable uses—and no emall amount of chic! The shoulders have a swagger rag- lan cut, a narrow belt of the material nips it in at the waistline. The plaid lining appears in collar and cuffs. Al- though the particular mode) sketched is not réversible, there are similar coats, combining Scotch plaid wools and either gabardine or cravanette, which can be worn either side out. Color in the Scene. There is no lack of color in the rainy day scene. It has been proved that bright shades gre quite as prac- tical as somber ones. The umbrella crop is particularly gay, and a view of Fifth avenue from one of its sky- acraper windows on @ gray and stormy day is positively dazzling in color, as purple and scarlet and blue and green umbrellas bob about, and raincoats just as bright weave in and out amongst the traffic. Even rubbers and the new smartly fitted overshoes heve taken to color and can be matched to any raincoat outht. : For Formality’s Sake. For occasions which call for dress- ing up. when the weather is in a dis- agreeable mood, theré are any num- ber of forma! febrics which have been appropriated for rainy day purposes. Satins and crepes-de-chine, fine silks which have the look of taffeta with- out its stiffness, are being made into coats designed from a fashion stand- - /excellent walking shoes point, and yet capable of defying the wéather. The business of providing smart clothes for bad weather does not stop with new atyles In coats and over- shoes. There are hats being made of water-proofed materials — frequently matched to coats—which would do credit to @ Paris modiste. ‘All Is Not Frivolity.

A new hat, as we have said before, | is often the saving gesture of a blue | morn” day long and leaves you in & constant thing seéms to go wreng, but there is a pitfall for the unwary women. 6e often a hat bought on the impulse of the momént gives 6ne cause to re- pent at leisure. There is « délightful thrill about obeying an impulse, but one need lose none of the thrill the impulse is tempered with « little discretion. More than any other, the business woman realizes this fact, for she must consider every item that goes into her wardrobe from the | standpoint of practicability and sult ability, and she can not afford t mgke mistakes or indulge in unnecesé sary extravagances. Prectical Charm. By their sults ye shall know them-—~ the successful business women; and so the tallored division of hér ward- robe should includé at least one smart sult, two dresses of tweed, woot or jersey, which in bright cdélors are practical for midseason wear under a dark coat, and for warm epring days _may be worn with «a fur scarf. If chosen with an eye to color, they may do service on the golf course later in the season, or for week-end motor trips. One black silk dress is always an excellent investment, and prints are a wise choice, also, for they are strangely deceptive in the matter of practicability. They look so vivid and gay and yet they need cleansing less frequently than dressés of solid and cleaning is an item of great importance. If one is to main- tain a smart looking wardrobe dresses should be systematically weeded out and sent to the cleaner at ar intervals.

It is quite possible to look extreme- ly charming in the office and be pree~ tical as well, particularly if one sup presses a desire to wear fragile chif- fons and delicate colors which are all very well in their place—which is not the business office. —_—- —— Tweed Suits There's many a “misty moimty that stays just that way el) state of indecision as to whet to wear.

I have been seeing them by the hun- Areds with an eye that was educated up to the highest standards right on Fifth avenue by Shinzo Shirae, a Japanese authority things of beauty. He has been com- ing to Korea for years, and before I left on this trip he told me that the country had been combed for antique chests; that it would be only by the rarest luck if I discover- ed an old chest that was worth while bringing back to New York. After luncheon, during which I was so busy getting warm and satisfying my hunger that a group of Korean dancing girls failed to hold my atten- tion, Jerry and I started on the hunt for a beautiful .chest. In spite of a mixture of snow and rain we went from one shop to another, our riki- sha boys running us right up into the entrances and unfastening the tops that protected us from the Ko- rean elements. So far as we saw, Korean furniture consists of chests, ranging from wardrobes and library sets to treas- ure and dressing boxes, wedding and medicine chests. These brass bound and brass mounted boxes are a dis- tinctly Korean art, copied neither from the Chinese nor the Japanese, but they are thought to have been influenced by a group of Dutchmen held captive here after the wrecking of their ship in 1632. Never made without being brass bound, these chests may be of plain wood or lac- with pearl or carved to a limited ex- tent. The brass trim on the chests _ls cut in symbolic shapes and gen- | erally engraved with various designs, TOURS GO WEST THIS COMING JULY FOR YOUR VACATION TRIP My 2lst Annual Summer Vacation Tour of the West will 8s t. every res in 4 yet reasonab price.

The fine-old specimens 80 popu- lar with collectors in Europe and America came from the homes of the comparatively limited number of people who possessed wealth and of- ficial position under the old Ko- ream government, but had to sell annexation. : These are the chests go difficult to find today. Modern reproductions are available by the hundreds even to chests fitted up om the inside as desks. After going through a lot of shops, I found a modern chest with real beauty in its wood, brass and craftemanship, only to have a wom- an with so much money she didn't know what to do snatch it from my grasp. But now I am giad she did, for this is no kind of weather to be chasing around with 15 cubic feet of Korean chest, and, anyway, what I really want is an antique big enough and beautiful enough. to make me forget the triais and trib- ulations of a day in Seoul when everything goes wrong. They Dress in White. Along with chests Seoul offers cos- tumes that are distinctively Korean. What the well-dressed Korean gentile- man wears is like nothing else in the world unless it’s a grandpa’s cotton nightshirt and a hat made out of the kitchen scréen door and a pair of black shoe laces. Most Koreans, men and.women, dreas in white, due, it said, to the fact that white was once made the official] mourning color, and the populace finally found, in spite of the laundry bills, it was cheaper to stay put In white rather than to go into mourning for three years at a time when a death occurred In the royal family. Although the picturesque Korean costume is gradually giving way to black derbies and store clothes, it is a frequent sight on the streets of the city. For the married man it consists ; of a long flowing coat of white mate- ) rial resembling a nightshirt, below which appear a few inches of white pantaloons tied about the ankles, and white contraptions that for shoes, The grand and ridiculous cli- max is the hat, a high pill-box crown of loosély woven material like wire screening on a stiff brim. Sitting high on the head, it is held in place by black tapes tied under the chin. All the passing breezes may enter said hat and the passerby may gaze upon the matrimonial topknot. The modern Korean cuts his hair short, wears regular pants and shoes and doesn’t smoke the national pipe of Korea—a thin bamboo affair two or three feet long with a tiny bowl holding only enough tobacco for a few puffs. The old Korean costume contrasts strangely with the modern character of the main streets. These are paved, and street cars and automobiles are cutting into the numbers of the jin- rikishas. Water and gas works have been installed, and an electric plant supplies light and power. With their _ TRAVEL telegraph and telephone poles and their two afd three-story brick and frame buildings, the principal streets have very Much the character of those of the American country town, if you ignore the natives and their signs. For the most part the native popu- lation of this city of 300,000 lives in one-story. wooden dwellings in narrow streets or alleys where little sanitary progress has been made. The Japenese number about 50,000, and there is a fair number of Chi- nese. The Americans and Europeans resident here are mostly missionaries connected with the local mission hos- pitals and schools. Whisky Drinkers. What Griffis had to say years ago in his “Coréa, the Hermit Nation,” regarding the Koreans’ fondness for alcoholic drink, still holds true. “No trait of the Koreans has more im- pressed their numerous visitors, from Hamel to the Americans, than their lover for all kinds of strong drink, from ale to whisky. The Korean liquor by preference is brewed or distilled from rice, millet or barley. “These alcoholic drinks are of vari- ous strengths, colors and smells, rang- ing from beer to brandy. In general their beverages are sufficiently smoky, oily and alcoholic to Western tastes. as the fusel off usually remains even | in the best products of their stills. The Korean vocabulary bears ample witness to the thorough acquaintance | of the people with the liquor made from grain by their rude processes. The inhabitants of the peninsula were hard drinkers even in the days of Puyu and Kokorai (about the be- ginning of the Christian era). No sooner were the ports of modern Chosen opened to commerce than the Chinese established liquor stores, while European wines, brandies, whiskies and gins have entered to vary the Korean's liquid diet and in- crease the national drunkenness.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: The goal of the opposition to the legalized liquor traffic was just about reached when America went into the World War. That war revo- lutionized everything. It put hate and greed into millions of hearts and | destroyed many of the social stand- ards upon which our society was built. That was one of the prices we paid for glory. The fight for prohibition was started long before a World War was ever dreamed of, and had there been no war in progress when the eight- eenth amendment was adopted and the Volstead act passed, the orderly processes of the law would have taken their course and there would have | been such enforcement as that which characterizes the prohibition of coun- terfeiting, mail frauds, the Mann act and other Federal statutes The adoption of the amendment and the passage of its supporting Statute came at an inopportune time —fA time that was marked by an era of graft and corruption in high places such as the country had never known. It was obvious, therefore, that this trail of the serpent would leave its mark in the channels of the aspir- ftous liquor industry The friends of liquor were so hedged about with money and influence that they could enzaze in tne illicit traffic with 1 fear of teing punished Tocs1y. according to statements whic : reve been printed in the news- papers throughout the United States | we have in the City of Chicago sev- | eral competitive rings of illicit liquor Gealiers. The boast is made and not denied that one man has cieaned up some five or six millions of dol- lars throcgzh the sale of beers, whisky and wines He maintains an expensive suite of 12. or 15 rooms in one of Chicago's lafgest hotels, so it is stated, and owns a million dollar home in Flor- ida. Everybody appears to know that he is a bootlegger, a consistent and per- Sistent violator of the laws of the United States. yet not anything is Gone about Chicazo, apparently, seems to be proud of him, proud of the fact that is the home of such @ notable character The newspapers of Chicago at least some of them, hold him up as a shining light among law offender: and all seek to curry his favor. Not any condemn him as a traitor to the country who should be either sent to the penitentiary or deported Other liquor rings in other cities are doing the same thing. The people know it; the newspapers * now it; the Officials know it—everybody Knows it —vyet not anything is done about it Recently, particularly since Mr Hoover's enforcement commission be- gan to function and the prohibition question began to be a leading topic in our Congress, there have been epurts of enforcement activities in a number of cities for the first time Just a few days ago prohibition agents in New Orleans uncovered a general supply house for bootileggers -and home-brewers. The operators of the place were arrested The r revealed recipes for the making of all kinds of intoxicating liquors and the paraphernalia necessary for its manu- facture The business had been in existence for several years. It was conducted openly—to a certain extent. Officers of the law knew of its existence and of its charcater. yet it was not their Dusiness to interfere with it It was not their place to arrest a man for violating the law unless some citizen preferred charges against him-—one of the fine points of the law made for the protection of criminals And the ordinary citizen ’ itts® '? : ‘+ st or would | prohibition have about as much chance to secure a conviction in such a case as a snow- ball would have of remaining intact in @ hot place. Every technicality of the law would be used in his defense and & wet judge and a wet jury, to- gether with wet witnesses would throw a mantle of protection about him that would completely envelop every iota of evidence that could be introduced to convict him. There is not going to be any repeal of the eighteenth amendment, or any modification of the Volstead act, re- gardiess of the poll of the Literary Digest Or any other agency of the liquor traffic. But there is going to be law enforce- ment. It has been a long time com- _Ing, but now it is on the way and its sweep can not be stayed by the wet newspapers, magazines and the wet in- terests they represent. The desire for prohibition and its enforcement is not going to be mea- sured by what Chicago and New York thinks or does about it. The urbanites and ruralites constitute the great mass of middie class Americans in this country. It was their voice and vote that destroyed the saloon. and it is their voice and determination that is going to demand and secure enforcement in this country. Given a fair, square and honest trial, which, up to this time it has not had, prohibition can and will be enforced, not 100 per cent, but at least to almost as great an extent as other Federal statutes The tide is turning in that direc- tion now. J. ED. HOWE. Monroe, La.. March 23. Peruvian Charge d'Affaires Pre- sents Corrections to the Life of President Leguia as Written for The Post by Mr. BRarbee— Executive No Dictator, He Says. — — —_——— —— To the Editor of The Post—Sir: In the interest of truth and accuracy I would ask to be allowed to correct several misstatements and cies, in so far as they refer to Mr. Augusto B. Leguia, constitutional president of Peru, which appeared in The Washington Post's magazine sec- tion for last only just read. The article is entitled “Who Wants to Be a Dictator” and is written by a Mr. David Rankin Bar- bee Leaving undisturbed his quite per- sonal and arbitrary classification of eleven statesmen from different of the world as “dictators.” I would confine myself to the following lines. where Mr. Barbee. in referring to Mr Legula, states that— “He was educated in Chile. * * * Elected president in 1908 he had served but a short time when a revo- lution broke out, and he was actually seized and stood against the wall to be shot, when either the firing squad | used blanks or some merciful Provi- dence intervened to save his When he came to he had run several leagues across the mountaing to a place of safety. * * * Of course he retired from office and, of course. | he became the object of political per- secution which ended in 1913 by his being driven into exile.” It would appear to be difficult to comprise more inaccuracies within the short space provided by the above paragraph; but Mr. Barbee, in his pas- sion for synthetical compression is apt, apparently, to misiay his facts nd to allow his facile, if inaccurate, pen to supply instead such substitutes as he believes are invested with a more picturesque appeal What really happened on the oc- casion referred to by Mr. Barbee was as follows On May 29, 1909, a small group of political malcontents assembled by twos and threes around one of the en- trances to the government palace and quickly shooting down the two .sen- tries on duty who, in accordance with Mr. Leguia’s democratic principles, were considered sufficient by him for his protection, gained acceas to the | executive offices and, overawing the | conspirators inaccura- | Sunday, which I have! parts | life. | startled secretaries, seized the presi- dent and hurried him out into the street. Here he was surrounded by the conspirators and, owing to his small stature, completely hidden in their midst, so that his presence in such strange company was not even suspected by the general public. Threatening the president with their revolvers and urging him to re- sign, which he steadily refused to do notwithstanding the indignities to which he was subjected, the group. somewhat at a loss how to pr when confronted with the unexpected result of the president's refusal, and fearing that at any moment notice of the seizure of the president might become known to the authorities and their plan frustrated, kept on the move and proceeded, somewhat desul- torily, from street to street until they happened to come to the small plaza where both the senate and house of representatives are located. Here the threats and abuse to force a consent to resign from Mr. Leguia were intensi- fied and a formel document of res- ignation was presented to him, to which he was required to affix his signature. Par from exhibiting any of the cor- fusion or perturbation—which cer- |tainly would have been compre- |hensible under the circumstances— that Mr. Barbee states caused Mr. | Leguia to “run several leagues across the mountains (!) where he came to,” the president's serenity was so un- ruffied that he pointed out to the an error of several months in the date of the document |they had prepared for him to sign; as far as I remember, it had been dated November instead of May! The absence of the president had by this time been communicated to the general staff and patrols of soldiers had been sent out to scour the city | and endeavor to locate him. One of these, a picket of cavalry in charge of a young lieutenant, here upon de- bouched into the piaza from one of the side streets, and, noticing the |} milling crowd, without more ado fired | a volley into the “brown.” Upon ad- vancing to investigate, the president | was extricated unhurt from under a heap of dead and wounded which had fallen upon him and thus saved his | life. Mr. Barbee's conclusion that “of course he retired from office and was subject to persecution which ended in 1913," which, by the way, glibly dis- poses of some three years of Mr Leguia’s first administration, fur- nishes a strange insight into Mr Barbee'’s ideas of time and political exigencies. What Mr. Leguia did on arising from the heap of corpses was to obtain a horse, and, disheveled and his clothes torn to ribbons, to ride through the city to prove to the public that he was very much alive It was in 1912 (not 1913) that. having concluded his term of office, Mr. Leguia handed ov: ‘the govern- ment to his successor, Mr. Guillermo Billinghurst, and left for Europe. It must be very apparent to any one who reads both these narratives that Mr. Barbee’s sense of dramatic cli- maxes must have deserted him com- pletely when he wrote his singularly misleading article; for no one will deny that, had he merely recounted the facts as they occurred, without straining the probabilities to include | such impossible situations as “firing squads using bDiank cartridges.” he had readily to hand a far more tense and moving situation than the far- razo of nonsense he substituted In these drab and prosaic days, Mr Leguia’s attitude on that memorable occasion compares very favorably } with those heroic achievements, typ!i- cal of extraordinary high-mindedness | and inflexible courage which the re- mote history of most nations possess and about which we can not read to- day without a quickening of the pulses. And the epilogue? The conspira- tors were not brought before a mill- tary tribunal with its swift and sum- mary justice, as might have hap- pened in many another country; they were deported, for Mr. Leguia dlis- dained to punish them further than | to forbid them to return to Peru. They have, however, long since been pardoned by him. It must be con- fessed that on the part of a “dicta- tor.” this is singularly lenient be- havior. And, finally, Mr. Leguia was not educated in Chile, but in Peru. J. A. DE BUENAVISTA, Charge d’Affaires Ad Interim. Peruvian Embassy, March 29. Plea Made for Government Sat- urday Half-Holiday All Year Round in Interest of Efficiency and Justice and Feeling of Content Among U. 8S. Employes. To the Editor of The Post-—Sir: In the interest of efficiency in the Government service and justice to the employes, Copgress should pass the bill now before it, making Satur- day afternoon a holiday the year round. Industry long. ago found this to be a wise and enlightened policy, and adopted it. Surely the Government ‘should not be a laggard respecting | enlightened policies affecting its em- | _ployes, but a leader and exemplar to | | industry. Nothing increaBes more greatly the | efficiency of employes than to be happy and contented. Such an act would contribute greatly to both, and the Government would be irfinitely the gainer. It could not lose any- thing, because it is not believed that the employes accomplish overmuch |} on Saturday afternoon anyway. not im justice be ment. The employes are human beings, and as such are entitied to ‘some consideration. They are sub- jected to a more rigid regime in their \freedom of action and movement ,than are those in industry. They have no time whatever for shopping and attending to the thousand-and- one other things that need their at- | tention, unless they take annual leave | therefor, or allow the time-out to | be deducted from their pay. As for | recreation, which is so essential to | health and happiness, that is out of | the question. The Saturday half-holl- day. as something to look forward to at the end of the week, would be an inspiration. Its psychological and spiritual effects upon. and benefits to, _the employes would be incalculable, ‘resulting in a tremendous improve- ment in their, morale, as well as their |general health and efficiency. Such results upon half a million citizens— that being about the number of Federal employes—would be attended with far-reaching and beneficent re- sults to the whole body politic, and would seem well worth the trying. Our Creator never intended us to De merely creatures of toil. He placed in this world many beautiful things for our spiritual and physical enjoy- ment, and gave to all the spiritual and physical aspiration for these things. He also gave the capacity for their profitable use and enjoyment. The Government is doing a great wrong when it denies its employes these higher things of life, After all, is not life to get a little more work done, if It is at the price of dwarfing the minds. bodies and souls of Federal employes?

ESTIMATE ON CROP ‘ DISPUTED BY LEGGE Agriculturists in Several Other Countries Increase Their Plantings. By A. H. ULM. Despite the Federal Farm Board's demand for curtailment of plantings, the farmers of the country, as a whole, tly intend to put as much under cultivation this year as they did in 1929. And because of the Parm Board's acreage reduction cam- peign in this country, farmers in sev- eral other countries are preparing to increase plantings for the purpose of taking ‘advantage of any price rises caused by curtailment in the United States. In fact, Australian wheat growers are being urged officially by The of efforts looking to the “control” of wheat by again raising duties on wheat and flour and, at the same time, providing for further increases without limit in case evidences of at- tempts to dump wheat in that coun- try appear. Meantime, Farm Board icles tend to concentrate in the nited States nearly all the world’s Prospective carryover of wheat at the end of this season. ~ Thus do the economics of the agri- @ultural rroblem, which the Farm Board wag set up to solve for this eountry, more complex and contradictory, as well as more con- fusing. Legge Disputes Estimates. Chairman Legge, of the board, dis- Putes the findings of the Crop Esti- mating Board as to farmers’ inten- ag to gawk. this year. Those find- ngs were on reports represent- ing the thoughts, at the time made, of about 50,000 farmers well distrib- uted over the country. The only noteworthy reduction in- Gicated by the findings is in the Plantings to durum or “macaroni” wheat, the ter part of which has to be . This ae a re- fiection of the improbability of the tarif? soon becoming effective on that kind of wheat. At the same time, anticipation or Prospective “tariff” beriefits be refiected by the 27 per cent increase indicated in flaxseed plantings. Do- mestic production of this product ig below consumption and the tariff, which the pending Hawley-Smoot bill would increase, is quite effective as to it. This increase may be in part a defiection from spring wheat growing, but the findings as to all spring ur indicate only a slignt reduction of acreage. Winter wheat plantings last fall were slightly in @xcesa Of the previous season's. Re- Farmers Are Not Impressed. If the findings of the crop eati- Mating board are correct, the Farm Board’s acreage reduction movemen. had not made much impression on farmers at the time reports on in- tentions to plant were being sent to Washington. Of course, inteations may not eventuate fully into actual plantings. But there is no concrete evidence that the acreage reduction Movement will be very effective this Rarely have acreage reduction Movements succeeded as to the sta- Pples—and then never for long, re- sults from one season’s cut usually leading to abnormal increase of acreage the next season. Rarely has the South been without such a movement as to cotton, and authori- ties believe these movements have stimulated curbed increase in cot- ton acreage. This is the first time that the ral Government has made an acreage reduction movement official- ly its own. Farmers ordinarily have great respect for what partakes of being “orders” from Uncle Sam. . Re- sults from the Farm Board's pres- ent acreage reduction campaign— the movement being the Key feature of the board’s program of relief this year—will indicate the extent in which the farmers of the country believe that. their salvation is at- tainable via the agricultural mar- keting act.

Cot growets in the South Atlan- tic area have cut ac enormously in the last ten years. ow they want to know why they should cut more when Texas and Oklahoma cotton acreage has been increased hugely. Many west Texas cotton growers want to know why they should cut acreage, when, un the peculiar conditions in their area, they can pro- profitably at much lower Prices than have commonly pre- vailed in recent years.

He is Dr. Horace Williams, profes- sor of philosophy, known to count- less Carolina men scattered through- out the Nation as “Prof. Horace.” Since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, Prof. Williams has been teaching philosophy at the university. Back in 1907 a young fellow named . Parker asks you and “ha back to him” verbatim what he been handing you all year, the old professor, who is now well past his allotted three score years and ten, gives you «4 “two” on the course. If you do a piece of original think- ing, however, of great excellence; in fact. if you make some startling contribution to philosophical thought, you are given a “one.” Only one student in about every 10 years earns a “eue” in Prof. Williams’ classes. Now this young fellow John Par- ker, who came to the university from the little country town of Monroe and whose folks, though of Revolutionary stock and proud an- cestry, were nevertheless in only very moderate circumstances, was a great student. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa after having made the high- est average in his class for the first three years, and he was an inter- collegiate debater.

His old professor is still teaching that logic class. “Well, judge, how does it feel to be appointed to the Supreme Court of thes United States?” Judge Parker stood at a window overlooking a little park areaway in the rear of the Federal Building here.

HE august Senate, it seems to me, is never quite so successful in making a silly spectacle of it- self as it is when it debates censor- ship. Some of my colleagues, in their zeal to regulate all human %e- havior by congressional ukase, get themselves worked up into a frenzy resembling that of a lot of seven- teenth-century witch wurners. We spent two whole days debating whether we would put into the térnff -bill a provision requiring customs of- ficers, under pain of heavy fine and imprisonmeft, to bar obscene and treasona»ie literature from our shores. Reed Smoot, if he had a's way, would leave the question of what constitutes obscenity or treason entirely to the customs officiais. Throughout the debate, Smoot kept before him a stack of “horrible ex- amples” of.evil books which senators were not backward about examining in their search for enlightenment. Never in the most hectic moments of the sugar battle did Smoot ever show such excitement as he exhibited in his efforts to keep out the naughty books. I was afraid we would tave to get Doc “Copeland to administer a sedative to him when young Bronson Cutting intimated that he must have spent considerable time reading all the smut. “I could tell from the very begin- ning of the book; it is enough to in- dicate that it was written by a man with a soul so black he would even obscure the darkness of ne'l,” shrieked Smoot. “That beimg so,” said Carter Glass, “why does the senator from Utah calmly stand there and permit one of h associates peruse that book?” Smoots answer was drowned by laughter. Smoot was abjy supported by that matchless trio from Dixie—Cole Blease, Tom Heflin and Park Tram- mell. ~ Cole delivered an impassioned plea for lynching any man who “dared to lay his hand on a woman.’ Heflin unfurled the flag and declared for the purity of American institu- tions. Trammell brought the debate to a hysterical climax by shuddoring “lest America begin feeding her youth to the crocodiles.” What all this had to do with the subject under consideration I do not ae GEORGE W. WICKERSHAM. pretend to say. Presently the Senate came to its senses and worked out a fairly satisfactory compromise, leav- ing it to the Federal courts to deter- mine what constitutes obscenity. But the joke of it all is that the most shocking books Smoot wants to keep out are already in. They've been in America for years and you can get them at almost any library or book store. Thursday. HEN President Hoover FROM A SENATOR'S DIARY Being the Day-by-Day Observations of a “Member- at-Large” Set Down for His Own Satisfaction. By the 97th Senator in many a day. First of ell, Wicker- sham let it be known that the com- mission would not go into the merits or demerits of prohibition as a na- tional policy. That wasn't good, but the wets were .still cheerful. Then Mr. Wickersham, under the ing of some of the extra-dry spokesmen in the Senate, sent to Congress a bag- ful of some of the most drastic en- forcement bills yet proposed. Some of his bills were so drastic, in fact, that even some of the drys like Borah and Norris couldn't stomach them. The wets grew perplexed. What was wrong with this Wicker- sham person? they asked. But the climax came when Mr. Wickersham went before the judi- clary committee, and without batting an eye announced there was evidence before his commission to show that the prohibition law was being better enforced than any other law on the statute books. Even Morris Sheppard, author (by proxy) of the eighteenth amendment, and Wes Jones, of “five and ten” fame, never have made any claim like that. Hereafter the wets are going to be extremely cautious about approving the appointment of chairmen of law-enforcement com- missions. Awsey back in 1908 a gentleman named Charles Francis Adams, of Bos- ton, wrote a letter calling high-tariff advocates “thieves” and “crooks.” The letter has just been published. Up to this moment it hasn't been defi- nitely established whether the letter was written by the Charles Francis Adams who died in 1915, or his son, Charlies Francis Adams, the present Secretary of the Navy, now in Lon- don, who at that time occupied the same law office. Just for the sake of historical accuracy I hope the mat- ter soon will be straightened out. Priday.

Just to show that I am almost as good a jour- nalist as I am a statesman, I repro- duce them with certain deletions in the interest of brevity: Senator McMaster, of South Dakota, leads off with an amendment to cut down duties on plate glass. The plate glass industry, he says, doesn’t need 80 much protection as provided by the Senate several days ago. The Senate agrees with him and his amendment is adopted.

ONE INMATE YELLS “ATTABOY, JUDGE” Instead of Rebuke, He Gets Thanks From Jurist and All Is Serene. By ATKINS HALL. During my service of 30 years as an attendant of St. Eligabeths, I often was detailed to accompany patients to the court house. These people had been temporarily admitted and were required to be taken to court so that it might be determined whether they should be committed to the institu- tion. We used to take from ten to twenty In the large, four-horse carryall, later there was a separate carriage for the women, and, of course, after automo- biles came into general use, we used motor cars. Sometimes it would take all day for the cases to be heard. It seemed to me that each case was dif- ferent from the others. While sitting there listening, I used to take notes and enter in « diary some of the in- teresting things that I heard. One day when we entered the court- room a trial in a criminal case was drawing to a close. Judge Gould was just commencing his charge to the jury. We filed in and took seats in the front row. «The judge talked for ten or fifteen minutes and then closed with the words, “Gentlemen, you may now take the case.” In- stantly a patient sitting next to me sang out, “Attaboy, judge!” Of course, every one laughed and natu- rally I was embarrassed, but I could have done nothing to prevent the sud- den outburst. Judge Thanks Court Disturber. The bailiff restored order and all hands waited to see what the judge was going to do about it. Looking at the patient, and with a pleasant smile, Joudge Gould said, “Thank you, my friend, for those kind words.” That particular patient was re- turned to the hospital, for quite clear- ly he was unbalanced. He had ex- pected to be discharged. I felt certain that we would have trouble in getting him back to the wagon. To my & , he offered no objection. This, it turned out, was due to whet the court said and the manner which the court adopted in speaking to him. The man stayed with us for about a year, and fre- quently when I would see him he would remind me that the judge was his friend. “You heard him,” he would say, “speak right from the bench and call me his friend.” Another men had an experience with another judge which produced quite a different effect. The witnesses had testified that this patient was dangerous and had made threats against two of his neighbors. The patient made a long rambling state- ment during which he asserted that he was very fond of all his neighbors. The j cut him short with the re- mark, “ ad words butter no pars- nips.” Patient Remembers Parsnips. For years that patient had a grouch. Hig animosity seemed to center in one whom he referred to as “That old farmer.” I asked him one day who the old farmer was. and he replied “That parsnip fellow who sent me over here.” Each judge had his own way of do- ing business just as other people. I used to watch them with a good deal of interest. Judge Barnard, who died @ number of years ago, and Chief Justice McCoy always turned a sym- pathetic ear to the men and women whose liberty was at stake. After a session before one of these judges we rarely had wild talking and attempted escapes on the ride back to the hos- pital. Sometimes the patients would be represented by lawyers, and occasion- ally the court would assign an at- torney to safeguard the interests of a patient who objected to commit- ment. One day there was called for hearing the case of an elderly lady who had been taken in custody be- cause of her actions in one of the local cemeteries. The evidence show- ed that she made daily trips to the erly. ground where she would stand fer an hour and carry on men- tal telepathy conversations, as she called them, with persons in Japan. All of this she freely admitted when called to take the witness chair. Woman Asks for Counsel. Tt looked like a very clear case, but. as she closed her testimony, she re- quested the judge's permission to have a lawyer address the jury in her behalf.

FUTURE UNDECIDED FOR MONTE GARLD Fate of Prince as Ruler of Gambling Resort to Be Decided in Election. THREE FIGHT FOR CROWN Monte Carlo, Monaco, March 29 (A. P.).—About 1,000 voters tomorrow will decide the dynastical and finan- cial future of this little principality, the only revenue of which comes from tourists who battle games of chance at the Casino. The campaign has been so hot that | 20 men have been added to the police force—or army—giving it a strength | of 100, and it is reported that French troops stationed at Mentone will in- tervene in case of disorder. Monaco is a protectorate of France. The elections are to choose both a | national] and a municipal council, but the main issues are whether Prince Pierre or his estranged wife, Princess Charlotte, shall succeed the reigning prince, Louls; and whether more revenue from the Casino shall go for public improvements. M. Marquet’s party, which has been In power some years is support- ing Prince Pierre. Its position has become rather anomalous, however, for under the recent decree which separated Pierre and Charlotte, Pierre no longer belongs to the dynasty.

Princess Boomed for Throne. The decree asked Princess Charlotte to return to the home of her father, Prince Louis, and resume her duties in line for succession to the throne.

The attorney told that jury that people of that name came from County Clare, he recited Mother Machree, and wound up by saying, very confidently, that he knew the jury wouldn’t for a moment think of sending a daughter of County to St. Elizabeths.

Paris, March 29 (A.P.) —Diplomatic circles here believe that the preten- tions of Prince Albrecht Von Urach to the throme of Monaco, as reported in the German press, are not likely to be realized.

TRADE BALANCE IS BAD Dublin, March 29 (A.P.).—After eight years of life as a separate do- minion in the British commonwealth of nations, the Irish Free State finds tiself facing three major problems. The first is the political situation. The cabinet which has been headed for eight years by President William T. Cosgrave has been forced to resign after being defeated on its opposition to old age pensions, and the Repub- lican extremists are stil] not pacified. |The secret and illegal Irish Republi- |} can army is still in existence. Cos- | grave may be chosen again by the | Dail Eireann, but has a strong oppo- /mnent in Eamon de Valera, Republican | leader. The next most serious problem is that of the alarming depopulation. | Since the Irish Pree State is primarily an agricultural country and must wait many years before it can even hope to enter the comity of manufac- turing nations, the seriousness to de- population becomes patent. Adverse Trade Balance. The third problem is that of the Pree State’s growing adverse trade balance. Latest trade figures show the external trade of the Irish Free State increased greatly during the last twelve months, but the imporc increased to a much greater degree. Trade and political blems can be worked out by patriots of whatever political persuasion, but the drain of Ireland’s sons and daughters to other —— is proving more difficult to stop. Statistics prepared by C. B. Mc- Kenna, auditor of the Trinity College Historical Society, founded by Ed- mund Burke, show that in the last 80 years some 6,000,000, Irish have scattered over various parts of the world—-most of them in large cities in the United #ates. Country Sparsely Settied. Excluding the southern part of Spain and Scandinavia, Ireland has become the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Irish nationals in foreign countries equal 43 per cent of the home population. Each year 40,- 000 more Irish emigrants depart for other lands. Since 1841 the rural dig- tricts of Ireland have lost two-thirds tended to strike a hard blow at Irish agriculture. The tendency of those who have have helped Ireland in one way When the Irish quota was reduced several months ago from 28,000 an- nually to 17,000 it turned the eye of would-be Irish immigrants to other lands.

NEW TO OFFICE-HOLDING Petionville, Haiti, March 29 (A-P.). In this pleasant village, perched on a cool spot on the mountainside overlooking the capital, Port sau Prince, Haiti's “man of the hour,” elderly, dignified and new to poli- tics, is working daily long into the night on plans for his country. He is Eugene Roy. 69 years old. who will be elected April 14 as tem- porary president under the govern- ment plan given the country by the Hoover investigating commission, and will take office May 15, the day the incumbent, Louls Borno, gives up the presidential palace. Interested throughout his life in foreign affairs and politics, but never a holder of any office of a political nature, M. Roy now finds himself swept into the spotlight as the man who, under the commission's plan, wil) have sole power of arranging for the popular elections later in the year, and who will be entrusted with the means for turning the government, to the people. Embarrassed by Spotlight. Somewhat embarrassed by the at- tention focused upon him, but fully conscious of what the temporary presidency means to his land, M. Roy has given his written and oral pledge to execute the plan faithfully. and has retired to the privacy of his home to map out his program. His years have been full of serv- lice, and to the Associated Press cor- respondent he said he hoped to‘give Haiti an efficient and unbiased ad- ministration in the will be tn office. “I accepted the designation as the nation’s candidate for temporary president knowing full well what it means, and I can but renew the pledge I gave personally to the mem- bers of the commission that I will execute the plan loyally and do my duty to my country,” M. Roy said. Won Renown in Business. When the commission evolved its plan, it asked the government and opposition groups to agree upon, and submit a list of five names of men of unquestioned integrity and high cali- ber who would, if selected, make good as temporary president. M. Roy's name headed that list, and he was later named unanimously. Not a dis- senting vote was cast against him when electors delegates from every ar- rondissement met here, weighed the selection, and approved it. ‘ M. Roy has won most of his fam through his business ability. A broker, he is known to financial men of the United States and Europe. But in Haiti he is more than a broker. Whenever there is a dispute between merchants or other business men in Port Au Prince, Roy is always called in as arbiter unless it is a matter which must go word is accepted as final, and it is said no participant in these disputes has even grumbled over the decision.

H. Rosseau, chief coordina- tor, and Dr. J. M. Doran, Commis- sioner of the Prohibition Bureau, the prohfbition law violator unwittingly is helping to educate Washington youth, aiding in the rehabilitation of disabled war veterans, providing transportation for agents, saving the Government extra appropriations in many departments, agencies and in- stitutions and besides is putting money in the Treasury. Every day in the District prohibi- tion agents and police seize liquor and automobiles used in the trans- portation of the contraband. And quite often they seize distilling plante and other apparatus, equipment and supplies designed for use in the manufacture of liquor. Nothing ls destroyed but “bad” liquor. . Every- thing else, including “good” aleohol, is salvaged. Eventually use is made of the sal- vaged materials. The automobiles are sold, or, if they are especially good, are claimed by the prohibition unit. Other stuff is kept at a ware- house under the supervision of Mr. Snyder until need for it arises in some of the Governmént branches. Then, the coordinator issues an order and it is immediately filled. The Government has been saved money, since an extra appropriation is not made necessary for ite purchase, and nobody is the loser, u the boot- legger, rum-runner or distiller, who might have originally owned it, considered.

WASHINGTON: SUN .DAY, MARCH 30, 1930. > ASSAULT TITLE USURPED BY HOCKEY By WESTBROOK PEGLER__ N' YORK, March 27.—The prize fighting industry has definitely yielded first place among the winter enterprises of the Garden Cor- poration in New York and becomes a sideline, second to hockey, which is now returning $2 of profit for every dotiar cleared on the fights. Hockey Was installed five years ago as a sort of stop-gap, or taxpayer, to draw some customers on the dates be- tween the weekly prize fights. Nowadays, with two teams based on the garden rink and playing three nights a week, the hockey customers outnumber the patrons of the weekly prize fights more than 2 to l. In Boston, Detroit and Chicago, the customers have been manifesting a similar turn of interest from he in- expert, conservative and reluctant performances of the prize fighters to the headlong recklesrness and fury of the Canadian young men who dash about the ice on a flashing blade not unlike the butcher’s meat axe, and, sometimes, in their temperish mo- ments, have at one another with steel and cudgel. This madness of the hockey players doubtless has an important bearing on the growth of the industry just as the cautious restraint of the pugilists has figured in the alienation of the prize fight customers. Hockey Players Give All to Game. Given a ballasted bludgeon in his hands, a pair of blades on his feet and a competitive spirit amounting to frenzy in his heart, the hockey Player gives himself to the game in ® manner that holds forth a stimu- lating lure of bloodshed. Just why they do Ahis, nobody scems to know for they aré only employes after al! and the employes in other lines of the sp-rt industry long since have learned to regard their opponents as fellow members of the employe class. But, although professional! hockey is not exactly an infant in- ' dustry, the rame was conducted on @ modest, neighborly scale in Canada and a few American cities until five years ago. The great development has taken place in the last five years and per- haps, after a few years more, the boys will fall to brooding over some matter of pay and decide that it is very silly, indeed, to take risks above ana pbe- yond the requirements of their con- tracts. But for the present they are very naive and far from having to stimulate them, their proprietors are much concerned about a code of fines and suspensions which have been proposed as a deterrent to the more atrocious forms of assault.

There are several hundred at Benning, 12 miles to the south, another 500 at Pimlico and smaller colonies at pri- vate training places in the neighbor- hood. Laurel and Havre de Grace also have 100 or more horses in their barns. It would hardly be correct to say that all are ready, but a big majority are and all are rapidiy coming to form.

Midwestern racing will begir at Lexington and Metro- politan sports at Jamaica, while the Havre de Grace meeting is still in progress. Bowie racing will have no competition close enough to matter and horsemen and horse folk from the North, East and South are crowd- ing into Washington and Baltimore for it. Prince George the horses in Park, newest of Maryland's great courses, is situated midway between Washington and Baltimore, on the interurban electric railroad. It is reached bv a system of the finest hard-surfaced highways to be found along the Atlantic sea- board. With a back-stretch extension that permits racing at 7 furlongs around one turn, the track is the best mile one in the East.

EPPERSON PARK RACE TRACK, New Orleans, March 29 (A-P.)-— The spring meeting of the Jeffer- son Parish Fair Association came to & close today after one of the most disastrous seasons in the history of the local track. The attendance and handle was very small during the 22 days of racing. The daily handle dropped some days to a low mark of $54,000, and the daily average handle was approximately $65,000. The racing, with a few exceptions, was fairly clean. The feature of the last day was the Finale, a gallop of a mile and 70 yards, and was won by the long shot, Little Gyp, which led from start to finish. Wood River was second and Lady Bienville third. There was @ delay of five minutes caused by the bad actions of Yam Toy, who fre- fused to go into the stall. He was finally placed on the outside, where he broke well. Little Gyp rushed right to the front and, leading by a length or so for,\the entire trip, won in a drive by half a length over Wood Riv- er, who in turn beat Lady Bienville a like distance for the place. Queen Towton Takes St. John’s Finale. St. John’s Race Track, Fla., March 29 (A.P.).—Equaling the track record of 1:08 for 5% furlongs, A. G. Dun- lap’s Queen Townton won the St. Johns County Handicap today as the thoroughbreds Florida track good-by. Two lengths back of the speeding 8-year-old mare trailed W. M Cain's Purple Robe, while in third place was J. C. Ellis’ Jack Howe, which get the track record on March 10. Purple Robe set all the pace, with Jack Howe in close pursuit, but Jockey Critch- field brought Queen Townton up fast in the last sixteenth, to win drawing away. The winner was the second choice in the wagering, paying $5.10 for a $2 certificate. Jack Howe was the favorite. AGUA CALIENTE RESULTS.

Ernest Taylor, its goalie, suf- fered a broken arm, the latest of a series of accidents that have crippled the English squad for more than a month. Then there wae a question as to whether Keep would be eligible to take part in the final and in Order to have the question settled to the satisfaction of all, Thomas W. Cahill, eecretary of the United States Foot- ball Association, controlling body of soccer, was queried by wire and he replied that Keep would be eligibie to play, givi - the Britishers the first lucky break in many weeks, Mariboro reports its eleven in top shape and ready for the battle of its life this afternoon. The only ailing member of the team, Binger, the goal r, reported that the sprained thumb he received in the Concord match has healed. This rangy young- ster will be the object of much atten- tion today and it is gratifyigg to his teammates to know that he will not be handicapped in handling his im- portant position today.

Skinker Eagles End ~ Court Season Today nich Tuesday as Lacrosse Returns to D. C. British Invade Oxford-Cambridge Team, Boasting 6 Amer- icans, Meets St. John’s of Annapolis at Central Field; Diplomats to Attend. ACROSSE returns to the Capital sport fan's backyard after an absence of two years, when the Oxford-Cambridge and St. John’s, of Annapolis, twelves clash Tuesday afternoon in Central Stadium in thie first game of the Englishmen’s 1930 invasion of the United States. Unlike the last occasion, which was in 1928 when Maryland, St. John’s, Army and Navy battled in Olympic elimination contests, Tuesday’s game wil] have an international flavor, and the Joc. diplomatic colony will swell the attendance. Badly Beaten in 1926° By Maryland. In 1926 an Oxford-Cambridge da- crosse team met Maryland University at Central Stadium, with the Old Line team scoring an overwhelming vic- tory. That contest was one of a series of 13 in which the Britons tried but failed to gain possession of the Flannery Cup, symbolic of American- English lacrosse supremacy. The cup is held by Syracuse University whose team successfully invaded England in 1923, a year after Oxford-Cam- bridge had lifted the trophy from the Crescent A. C., of Brooklyn. Advance reports state that the 1930 Oxford-Cambridge team is superior to that of 1926, and that St. John’s, which was wrecied by graduations last spring after it had won the Afmerican championship, is not at all Pleased with its chances of winning. Six Americans—Rhodes scholars— are members of the visiting uad. Three of them are regulars— A. MacIntyre, captain of the 1929 Yale Lacrosse Team, who plays point; Lar- kin Farinholt, former Johns Hopkins athlete, who holds forth at third at- tack, and A. C. Cornsweet, former captain and end of the- Brown Uni- versity Football Team, who occuples the first defense position. The other three are M. J. Grove, former Yale baseball star; L. P. Giddons, \formerly of Birmingham-Southern College, and J. J. McDonough, who played quarter back on the University of Chicago Eleven in 1927. Johnnies’ Offensive Il: Weakened. The losses St. John’s incurred by June graduations did not affect the Johnnies’ defensive strength, but the pores Bape of the Annapolis Team admittedly was reduced. Therefore hopes of an American victory in the forthcoming encounter seem to rest largely on the ability of the Johnnies to hold the invaders away f the net. Clifton Barber Nine To Seek League Title Manager Sam Bucolo has collected a likely looking squad of diamonders to aid the Clifton Barber Nine in quest of Capital City League unlimited or senior honors this season. The team has trimmed two foes in practice and meets the, Meridian Seniors today. The team roster includes infielders, J@e and Jim McNally, Frank Fera, Pete Aguilina, Joe Bucolo, Joe Blend- man, B.

Plays ; St. John’s Five. OUR crucial battles, comprising one of the best basket ball pro- grams ever offered here, are scheduled for temorrow night in the District A. A. U. basket ball cham- pionship tournament, being sponsored by The Washington Post on the Com- munity Center's court at the Tech High School gymnasium, fort heast. . and T streets Two unlimited semifinals, involving and the George Washington mém and the Potomac Boat Club in the lower bracket, occupy) the feature these contests, as promising appear may have to play second fiddle to the action that will take place in the two lighter-class battles booked for earlier in the evening. At 7 o'clock, the city’s two out- standing 100-pound quintets—the Jewish Community Center Spartans and the Boys Club Optimiste—will take the floor to decide which gains the A. A. U. championsiiip medals and team trophy. Flashes Face Test In St. John's. In the following game, the J. C. ©. Piashes, who have lost only two games in two years, meet the crack St. John’s five in the 130-pound semi- final. The records of the opposing teams make every game tomorrow night ap- pear a basket ball “natural.” Because the Woltz Photographers are defending their District honors gained in the South Atlantic tourna- ment last year, their clash. with the Montrose team ohably holds the most interest. ith the exception of one or two players, Woltz will. carry into this semifinal battle thé same line-up which carried it to the top last year. Jack Forney will be seen at center with Bucky Buscher and Peewee Walker at forwards and Bill Banta and Carl MacCartee in the guards. Both Teams Play ° Same Style. Montrose probably will start its Western High group of Bob Freeman, center: Jimmie Thompson and Scheele, forwards, and Herbie Thompson and Baer, guards. Both of these teams use the same style of play, each empleying slow. deliberate passing with the block plays and pot shots. The rivals are both well versed in the man-for-man defense, and many expect a smali score to decide. Montrose, which threw a bomb in the tournament dope by trouncing the J. C. C) “Big Five,” will draw the port of Western High students in this game. It will not be surprising if some organized cheering materi- alizes, despite the fact that the team ig not representing Western High of- ficially Many believe that.the outcome of the game depends on the play of the rival centers. It was Bob Freeman, Montrose’s long center, who was a de- ciding factor in the rout of the J. C CG. Five. ‘Porney, his» opponent, is bably more experienced and gen-~- erally considered a better shot. This should be a duel. Freshmen Not Yet Extended. The George Washington Freshmen, who are being picked to take the title by many tournament followers, will meet a severe test in the Poto- mac Boatmen. The Freshmen, under the leadership of Jack Connor and numbering in thelr line-up Forest Burgess, Lee Carlin and Billy Wells, have not been extended to date in the tournament. Man for man, this team is the fastest of the surviving unlimit- ed clubs. Whether or not the year- lings can function with their light- ming attack against as strong 4 de- fensive team as the Boat Club re- Mains to be seen. Potomac has displayed some high- flass basket ball in gaining the semi- Gnals and twice has fought uphill battles. Thése hard contests may Serve them in good stead tomorrow. Wiler, Adkins, Timmons, Lilly and &4man are likely to start. Many pelieve that the survivors o the J. C. C. Fiashes-St. John’s game will take the title im the 130-pound tlass. The winner of this contest meets the Westerners tomorrow night. Ben Jaffe, Upright & Co., represent- ing the Jewish Community Center as the Spartans, are seen as an even match for the Boys Club Optimists in the 100-pound finals. — Bridgewater Winner Over Drexel Nine, 6-4 Special to The Washington Post.

Contrary to the usual run of matches, the teams engaged in niné bouts with the dueling sword, as well as the foil, and four with the saber. The teams divided honors tn the saber contests, each winning two, but the Middies won the bracket of foils by 5 to 4, and the epee bouts by a like score. The bouts were desperately contested throughout and It looked ag though the teams would be locked in a tie at 11 all, but Haines, of Navy, managed to take his saber contest from G by the close soore of 5 to 4 to decide the issue. The outstanding feature of . the meet was the work of Fleer, of Phila- delphia, who defeated all three of his opponents with the foil.

ITH Maynard Summers, for the past few years one of the schoolboy track- men 6f the East, on the track team, Devitt Prep’s hopes fer another suc- cessful seasen in track hare taken on further impetus. Summers. a product of Frederick High School, of Predérick, Md... has been a consistent point winner for that school for the past four years. almost single-handedly being respon-— sible for the institution's high place in the limelight of the cin- der path. Besides being a crack man in the dashes, holding the South Atlantic A A. U. 44@-yard championship, Sum- mers has also ven a valuable per- former in the events, being espe- clally adept with the javelin and dis- cus. Coming to a track team, which is woefully weak in anything except the dash events, Summers should prove a godsend to the Upshur street institution. ‘ Starred in Maryland Meets. As a performer with the Maryland school for the past three years, Sum- mrers has achieved noteworthy suc- cess, being the high scorer in the Uni- versity of Maryland gcholastic meets in 1927-28 and the Maryland State scholastics in 1926-27. The lad has performed here on vari-4 ous occasions with the Frederick team, walking off with individual scoring honors in the South Atlantic meet last May at the Central Stadium and appearing again in the “C” Club meet.

The Middies were in brilliant form for so early in the season and their crack fielding featured an otherwise drab contest. ’ At the ouset the game had the appearance of a pitchers’ duel. The best Navy could get off Horst, Prank- lin and Marshall right-hander in the first four innings, was two single base blows. Schultz. of Navy. was ‘also going well, although Horst had tripled in the fourth to score Smoker. who had connected for his second double. In trying to stretch his blow into a circuit clout, Horst was out at the plate and the jaunt around the sacks also appeared to peter him out. In the fifth Horst was beset with a streak of wildness, which followed by con--~utive bingles by Jim™y O'Toole and Capt. Bill Gentner, re- sulted itn a trio of markers. In the sixth Navy drove nine tallies home to sew up the game. Stroh Clears Sacks With Triple. In this frame “Red Stroh” cleaned the sacks with a three-base drive to deep center. That frame marked the end of Horst, and Johnson, who suc- ceeded him, was touched for a home run by Byng in the seventh and the eighth Poor fielding, lack of judg- together with O’Toole’s two- sock and Byng's triple, netted the Middies seven more tallies and brought their total to twenty. Weston Byng, Washington youth, played a brilliant game in center field and led both teams with the willow, making good on every trip to the plate. His day's record was four hits and two walks. Two of his blows were for extra bases. one being. a circuit clout and the other a three- baser. The entire Tar Team fielded well. Pranklin and Marshall players, on the other hand, booted the ball ten times, and were credited with but eight assists against seventeen for the Tars.

Lioyd that he wanted some infermation on the sub- ject, having been) informed that bisks were taken according to the handicap figures on the score card. This, of course, is a mistake, for the figures refer. to. strokes, an entirely different matter. . What is a bisk? Curiously enough, the writer can not recall a single book on golf in which the word.is mentioned. Even Alexander H. Revell’s yoiume e¢n- titled “The Pro and-Con of Golf,” which is a es gp he paragraphs, ‘about game, AS nothing aboutgbisks. The dictionaries are more or less vague. in the Cen- tury Dictionary the word is spelled both “bisk” and “bisque.” but the former is emphasized, as “bisque” Te- lates to a certain kind of soup and toa Sag: of unglazed pottery. Ac- cording to authority, o bisk is “a stroke allo to a weaker player to equalize the parties.” Webster's Dic- tionary does not mention golf, but says that a bisk is “a stroke allowed to an inferior player or side in lawn tennis.” Must Claim Bisk Daving Round. In golf, a bisk is @ stroke or strokes allowed to:a weaker player and these bisks can be claimed anywhere throughout the round, providing that the player makes his claim at the finish of a hole and before the ball is driven from the next teé. In other words, no one cam | complete the round and then go ‘and take his bisks at the holes where they would have helped him to win his match. Even with this qualification, a bisk is a substantial handicap and is cer- tain to be much more serviceable than an allowance of strokes. Dave Thomson, jthe c:ub sional, who is a Scotehman, talked in- terestingly about bisks. “They are used much more frequently in Eng- land and Scotland,” he.said. “than in this country, Lyrae nl te in a do’ not w who in- Santed these nor how ae but they ere 4&4 form of handicap in G in.” “Here is a 4 ,” guid one play- er, “that I would like Dave to answer. Ifa player has been allowed five bisks and comes to the eighteenth tee with two of them unused, can he take ad- vantage of the two bisks on the one hole?” “He certainly can,” ania Thom- sén: “Of course, there are no rules governing bisks, for the: word is not found in the rule book, but their playing ig. governed by @ century of custom. I have frequently seen players. win their matches by saving their bisks until they came to the last two or three holes, and then they could clinch their victory. Hunter Agrees With Thomson. “Players who have been granted bisks are not restricted to the use of one bisk om each hole. They can take either all or none on any hole.” It might be added that J. Monro Hunter, professipnal, at the Indian Spring Club, who is also a Scotch- man, agrees with Thomson that all of the unused.bisks/can be utilized, tf desired, on the last hole. There are two players at the Washington Club, however, who are with bisks for the rest of ir golfing lives. One is Fred Paxton, chairmthan of the golf com- mittee, o some time ago played the best ball of two opponents, but allowed each of them five bisks. When he lost a hole, naturally noth- ing was, said about bisks, but when either one of his opponents secured a half, a bisk was claimed and Pax- ton lost the hole. Finally he was hopelessly defeated. The other player is Guy Church, who recalled a round which he played ony the course of the Country C:ub cf Virginia. “My opponent was a stranger to me,” he said, “and when he asked for some btsks, not yom Those bisks simply slaughtered me, and 1! have never played them since. I never want to meet them again.” But, as Dave Thomson remarked. bisks are rarely played in this coun- try. The usual custom here is to allow strokes where they come on ‘the card, and it frequently happens that these strokes are no assistance whatever. ‘Indian Spring Seeks New Members. ae George F. Foley, chairman © ae mgr oe 4 committee of the Indian g Club. is making a determined to add 65 new members to the club's gies and thus bring the total membership up to 400. As an inducement to secure members the board has‘reduced the initiation fee to $50. plus tax, effective immediately and until the roster is complete. With this opportunity to join the club at a remarkably low cost, the membership committee expects that in the near future’ the full quota will be ob- tained. It is most appropriate that Prank Hartig should be the golf professional at the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club. He has an outstand- ing World War record.

It is no wonder that a professional with this remarkable record is im- mensely popular with the officers of his club. Ray F. Garrity, chairman of tne golf committee of the Manor Club, has not yet completed the personnel of his committee for this season, g determined to have an eninu- Biastic and hard-working organiza- tion when all the selections’ have been made. “We have rolled our course and the ns,” he said last week, “ard everything is in fine condition. If possible, we will resume play. on our firat nine on Sunday, or if not on , ae then within the next few days.” A. L. Houghton, professional of tre Harper Country Club, has played sev- eral rounds recently with the new golf ball and likes it. “I find little. difference in_ driving,” he eaid last week. “when ape standard ball, ets up in the fairways and it holds the green with approach shots. Popularity for New Ball Predicted. “I believe it will prove popular with the average player. I am going ay the new ball throughout this nm, except in competitions where the standard ball is necessary, 80 as with it before it comes into use next January.” At the Bannockburn Club last Sua- day Houghton and Martin McIrneney were paired in «a four-ball) match against F. Bass ata Norman J. Hall. The latter were started 2 up and won on the eighteenth green, 1 up. Hugh Mackenzie, Prank 8S. Apple- man and J. W. Beller were standing on the first tee of the Columbia Citb last week, waiting for a fourth man who failed to appear. Miller B. Stev- inson, the District amateur cham- pion, was thereupon invited to join the party. He accepted and offered to play the best ball of the other three. The sequel Of the story is toat he the course in 69 and his three opponents soon faded out of the picture. . Stevinson started with a 2-foot putt for a birdie 3 om the first hole. He played the next four holes each in par figures, narrowly missing a birdie 4 on the fifth, but failing to be on the sixth green with his second shot, took 5, Ome over par. He compensated for this error by running down a 25-foot utt for a birdie 3 on the seventh, ut was acain ome over par on the eighth. He finished the first nine in 35, even par. Stevinson Scores Four Birdies. Coming home he had birdies on the tenth, eleventh, sixteenth and seven- teenth holes, missing a 4-foot- putt for another birdie on the twelfth.

Their objections were overcome, and the writer was the first reporter to re- port a baseball game, compile a box score and send it out over the Asso- ciated Press wires from Washington. He also was the first man to send out a telegraphic running story, from the grand stand, of the games played by the old New York Giante—the grounds then being located at North Capitol and G streets—to the New York Eve- ning Sun, which was the first news- paper to get out a sporting extra, with a complete account of the game, a few minutes after it was over. The appellation “Giants” came to the New York Club in this season. A number of the players, namely, Roger Connor, “Buck” Ewing, Dave Orr, Jim O'Rourke, Tim Keefe, “Dude” Esta- brook, Gillespie, John Ward and “Mickey” Welch, were physical giants. standing over 6 feet. The name has stuck to this day despite the fact that it is doubtful whether there are many players on the present team measuring 6 feet. _* During the past 25 years the writer has seen the press associations, espe- cially the Associated Press, establish baseball departments in their various bureaus and employ reporters who not only report the games, but others who make a specialty of it in “news” which they think will interest the army of baseball readers throughout the country. : Players Quit Team Without Notice. All the advertising in the world can mot make a ball club a success, from the financial point of view, unless it is a “winner,” and then it does not need advertising. In almost every other business, industrial as well as public entertainment, the managers of these enterprises are compelled to spend millions of dollars annually in the newspaper advertising their wares. Not so, however, in the baseball busi- mess, because the public demands Daseball “news” in their papers, and the enormous amount of free adver- tising which baseball owners get for tireir wares, costing the press associa- tions and newspapers millions of dol- lars annually, is the reason for the enormous attendance at certain series and the world series, plus a Babe Ruth, whom the public looks to for a thrill by a home run. In the late spring of 1904, to return to the Senators, none of the recai- citrant players, the Hillebrand broth- ers, Winters, Clark or Mason had re- ported, and Wilson, who pitched the opening game, unceremoniously quit the club and went back to his some in Philadelphia. To make condi- tions worse, Dunkle, who pitched in the series at Cleveland, was batted so hard that he became disgusted, dropped the ball in the pitcher's box, made his way to the clubhouse, where he dressed, left the city and was dever heard of after. Then, too, Orth. who had been regarded as a crack pitcher, Was injured in one of the early games of the season and returred to his home in the South, leaving the club with only three available pitch- ‘ers, Patten, Townsend and Jaco»sen, the latter two just having emerzged from the minor league. Team “Goes Broke” While in West. While in Chicago on the Western trip the writer visited Ban Johnson in his office in the Fisher Building, and the latter casually inquired whether players’ salaries for the two weeks just ended had been paid. The reply was in the negative, ‘but it Was explained that $5,000 to the credit of the Washingtor Club was on deposit. Inquiry. however, dae- veloped that ,the money had been taken up to pay two notes given in order to secure a release from tue grounds at Fifteenth and H streets, which were not due for two years. This so seriously embarrassed the Club in a financial way that -the writer became disgusted, taking his loss and turned back his stock to the The league had ay out the season or drop Wash- n from the circuit, and Seaneon — Jake Stahl in charge of the am for the remainder of the sca- son. Stahl had made some reputation as a football player and in his at- tempt to play first base, to which he had been assigned. “proved beyond doubt that he was a football player by the way he put his arms, rather than his hands, around the ball when he attempted to catch or field it. Walter Johnson Greatest Of All Time. Some prominent stars have devel- oped during the last 25 years, chief among them being Walter Johnson, in his prime the greatest pitoner, peo or present, and I doubt whether he future will equal him. Others are “Babe” Ruth, because of his ability to smash out home runs; “Ty” Cobb and “Hal” Chase. These players compare favorably with the stars of other years, but there were among the latter the greatest play- ers the game ever produced. Among them was Fred Dunlap. who played with the Albany club when the writer was a boy, 50 years ago, and the omer played on the grounds then ated at Sixteenth and S streets. Dunlap was a second baseman, and, having in mind Lajoie, Eddie Collins and ers who have played that bag since then, he still stands out in my mind as the “king” of them all. He had an eye like an eagle, was fleet of foot, unerring in his throw and cvv- ered more ground around second ‘ase than any player I have ever seen. On top of it he was a long-distance hit- ter and ran the bases like a streak. “Buck” Ewing, of the old New York “Giants,” was the best catcher who ever stood behind the home plaie, but he had a worthy rival in those days in “Tom” Daly, of the old Chi- cago White Sox. No catcher since their day ever compared with “hem. Ewing was dashing in his movements. pleasing to watch, with an arm like e rifle and it was almost sure death for a runner to try to steal a base on him, besides being a heavy nitter graceful catcher of them all, seldom making an unn movement. and could t the ball away from him with less t motion than any catcher I ever it down.

Future of Savidge Uncertain. There seems to be considerable doubt in.the Nats’ camp as to the future of Don Savidge: He has pitched in and out ball in practice. but st times has done exceptionally well. Before a decision is made re- garding him, the chances are that he will be used a couple of times in exhibition games, probably in the series with the Boston Braves. Herb Pyle is another flinger on whom no true line has been gotten as yet. Be- cause of infected teeth, he has been unable to do himself justice. As he is a drafted player and, under: base- ball rules, must be Kept until at least April 30, there is no particular hurry in his case. Chattanooga, from which club he was drafted, has not put in a claim for him in case he is not retained, which means that the Na- tionals can send him anywhere they want if it is decided he can not make the grade ir the majors this season. who was a heavier hitter than Denny. so that it would be difficult to make a choice. In the pick of players, go- ing. back more than 40 years, the choice would lie between these two. At shortstop Hans Wagner, of the Pittsburgh Club, stands out, before or since his day, as the greatest play- er in that position. His only com- petitor was Cassidy who was with the Senators in 1904, but his career was cut short by il! health. He could cover more ground than any player |! have ever seen and make the most difficult plays and, had he lived. would have been an acknowledged star. With Cobb and Ruth selected in the outfield, it only remains to put Mike Kelly, of the Chicago White Sox, in right field; but another famous player, Billy Sunday, who later be- came an evangelist, also a member of the White Sox, must be considered. Sunday could cover as much ground, if not more, than any other player. He Curtis Welch, of the old St. Louis Browns, when Charley Comiskey played first base for them. But while Sunday and Welch were phenomena! fielders, they were weak hitters.

About that time he discovered that one Tom Duggan, of New York, own- ed two inactive exclusive league fran- chises, one for New York, the other for Boston or Brooklyn, but when he tried to buy one of them for the Garden firm, Duggan refused to sell, although Hammond offered him 830,- 000 for the New York franchise alone, presentiy there was a compromise. Duggan was to organize a team of his own, to play on the Garden rink, and, in return for the privilege of playing ‘there, he was to waive his exclusive right to the territory, per- mitting Hammond to obtain a second New York franchise. Rangere and Americans Appear. Backed by Bill Dwyer, another bookmaker, Duggan bought the Ham- iiton Club and moved it into New York under the name of the New York Americans. The next season, Col. Hammond, a West Pofht and United States Army man, bought three players, recruited about a dozen others free from the amateurs of Canada and took the ice, in a man- ner of speaking, with a team called the Rangers. Duggan presently disap; eared. Dwyer took over the Americans. The game caught on in Chicago, but the old Coliseum was a forbidding arena and the customers responded siowly until this season when the Black Hawks moved into the new Chicago Stadium, in the meanwhile, huge arenas, suitable for prize fights, arose in Detroit and Boston. Minor leagues developed and the Canadian game be- came a profitable grind show for the promoters almost everywhere. Even in Pittsburgh where the arena seats only 2, customers, the franchise is now a document of great value, although the hockey team earns little, if any money. Benny Leonard is supposed to be the owner of this team, but I doubt that many people take his proprietorship seri- ously. The franchise t $15,000 a few years ago, and the present owners have refused an offer of $185,000 for it, although their plant can not hold profitable crowds and seldom plays to the limited capacity. Little Chance for Americans. The personnel of the major league ls almost 100 per cent Canadian and Col. Hammond doesn’t believe Ameri- can athletes ever will make the major league in any considerable proportion because there are so few opportuni- ties for skating south of the Canad- lan line.

BROWN AND THOMAS SHUT OUT MEMPHIS Continued From Page 17. the only one to get more than one safety. All of the fielding high lights were furnished by the minor lear ters, Daughtry, at third, turning in a great catch which started a double play, while Frank Waddey, former Georgia Tech gridman, made two exceptional catches of liners in left. When the starting pitchers were relieved after the fifth, the Nationals were enjoying a comfortable lead, be- ing on the front end of a 6-to-0 score. They had managed io score in three of tnese frames, breaking the ice in the second. In fact, Grif- fin was fortunate in pulling out at the cost of but two runs, for a single by Judge, a double by Bleuge, Cronin’s one baser, and Ruel’s walk were t contributions of the first four batters to face him. Barnes Robbed of Hit in Fourth. The little southpaw managed to put on the brakes, however, until the fourth, when three more Washir ~ton runs were scored. These were the result of Cronin’s single, Daughtry’s error, a walk to Brown, and singles by Loepp and Rice. It looked as though Barnes would drive at least One more over, but Daughtry made a great leaping, one-hand catch of the drive and turned it into a double play. Washington's tally in the fifth came from Myet's single and Judge's double down t left field foul line. Meanwhile, Brown had had things pretty much his own way. In the second a scra single and walk, both coming with ‘two down, gave the Chicks what proved to be a forlorn hope. Waddey tripled with one out in the fourth, but was left. BURROUGHS INSECTS WIN.

There is no denying the fact that the big outfielder will be missed. He also iad already proven that he is a slugger. That 1929 average was simply an off year for him at bat and more can be expected of him this season. However,. based on what chey have shown in the exhibition games to date, the Nationals’ outfield of Sam Rice, Sam West and Red Barnes « likely to be better than fair. This trio is slated to start, gith George Loepp the ranking utility man. Pres- ident Clark Griffith is carefully in the hope of picking up another to help out, but the only one he has had an opportunity to bid for was not wanted because was a southpaw hitter and not a particularly good one at that. Aithough the Washington club owner will not’admit it, it is under- stood that he made an effort to gev Ed Morgan from the Cleveland in- dians in exchange for Catcher Roy Spencer, but Manager Roger Peckin- paugh could not see this trade. Until another fiy chaser is obtained, it is more than likely that Alvin (Jake) Powell, the Takoma Bearcat who is slated for the minors, where he can get some needed experience, will be retained. Early Dope on Outfielders Being Blasted. i The early dope indicated that Rice, although a good hitter, would be slower on his feet than last season; that Barnes would prove to be a poor fielder, that West would continue be- ing bat shy, and that Loepp would not stack up as major league caliber, so far, based on what these players have shown in exhibition games, this dope has been all wrong, and, even with- out Goslin, Johnson believes that he has a good all around outfield, al- though not a star one. ) Rice, the old timer, in capering about like a 32-year-old colt and can get down to first base as fast as the next one; Barnes has come through with a number of brilliant catches, is getting around all over the field. and has yet to look bad on a fiy Dall; West is standing up at the tee anr swinging with the best of them and cracking out hits. Loepp gives every indication of be- ing a hard hitter, and roams around the outfield lfke a seasoned veteran who knows what it’s all about. Rice Shows Speed; Barnes Fields Well. Of course, all this has happened in exhibition games in which the op- posing pitchers are not yet ready, and against minor league hurling at that. But this condition has not affected Rice’s speed or Barnes’ improved field- ing, nor has it prevented Loepp from impressing as a fly chaser. That Rice can hit any kind of flinging is an accepted fact, and all of the experts ize Barnes’ power at the tee. Thus the only unanswered question appears to be whether West, after many trials and tribulations, will come through this year as a hit- ter. Should this be the case. and there is no question but what he gives every indication of having more con- fidence at the plate than at any pre- vious stage since he has been a Na- tion, Johnson will have one of the stars of the league in center, for there is no question as to Sam’s ability to field and peg as well as any fly chaser in the game. Johnson was quite enthusiastic to- night in discussing the manner in which his outfield is developing. “I'll admit now thatI was mighty worried about my outfield before we started training.” he said, “but the way the boys are shaping up has been a pleas- ant surprise, and we won't be so bad off after all.” RED SOX PLAY.

Moreover, many small farm- ers must make acreage reduction de- pendent on their getting part-time employment in some kind of indus- trial work. In some cases, as in the cotton belt. the choice is between putting more lan¢ into staples or quitting the tarme and moving % town. The crop estimating board's find- ings do not cover cotton. Price drops during a harvesting period, as oc- cured this season, generally are fol- lowed by cotton acreage reduction the next season. The Farm Board's campaign may thus seem to be more successful in the Cotton than in the grain belt. . Acreage Only One Factor, Acreage is only one of several fac- tors entering into the total of farm output. The h may be affected radically by climatic conditions. A summer of bad weather might have more effect on the harvest and prices received therefor than everything that can be done the Farm Board. There is no likelihood that Farm Board or all influences will relieve any important branches of farming of ex- portable surplus burdens this year. Whatever curtailment of production is achieved is apt to be offset by in- crease of production thus stimulated in other countries. Efforts to force up prices will be offset by countering measures in importing countries, such as Qre being taken and expanded as to wheat by western European coun- tries Prices of agricultural products, as a whole, are holding up better than those of nonagricultural commodities. In fact, recent price changes have probably added a bit to the buying power of the current farm dollar. If so, this also weighs against acreage reduction.

If all of them are considered ade- quately, as they should be, it is next to impossible to complete a tariff bill in leas than a year. Saturday. UDGE THOMAS D. THACHER, of J New York, can give some expert testimony now concerning the difficulties of running the Senate gantiet. When Hoover sent up his appointment as Solicitor General to succeed Charles Evans Hughes, jr. every one predicted he would be con- firmed promptly. Then the insur- gents discovered that he owned some utility stock. That was a pretty black mark against Judge Thacher, but he himself removed it by divesting him- self of his holdings. The way seemed clear for his confirmation. Then a group of lady patriots pumped Sena- tor Overman, of North Carolina, full of information to the effect that the judge was a “red” and blocked his confirmation again. They alleged that he had once refused to sanction the deportation of a suspected - munist. Now the insurgents afe all for him. I predict he'll make an ex-~- cellent Solicitor General. IT hate to pose as a seer, but I can’t help recalling that more than a year ago I said there would be a general tariff bill or none at all. Those who doubted me were reckoning without an adequate understanding of the re- sourcefulness of Uncle Joe Grundy. There “jest ain't no sich animal as a limited tariff.” (Copyright, 1930.) 43 Pu nc BAS gl Ae ae Amateur Theatricals 7a The annual circus and carnival given by the Men's Club of St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episco- 1 Church will be given in the parish ouse, Sixteenth and Newton streets northwest, on April 23, 24. 25 and 26, the proceeds to be applied to reduc- tion of the church debt. 8S.

The play will be presented by the Drama Guild in four parts, with ultra- modernistic settings suited to the symbolic theme of the piece. A cast _ of more than 50 players, under the di- rection of William F.

The answer is that the infor- matory double is just as im in Contract as in Auction, and there is no double that wou'd be informa- tory in Auction thst would not haye the same meaning in Contract. How- ever, there is not as much informa- tory doubling in Contract as in Auc- four Spades. A East did not jump and West played at two Spades; and at one other table East jumped and West did not re- jump. So the board was played vari- ously at four Hearts by North and South, and at two, three or four Spades by East and West. If the hand had been dealt in Auc- tion Bridge, South doubtless would jhave bid one Heart and West one or a of trumps left South with two small | | tion, probably for two reasons: Play- |ers dread the result of the combina- tion of an informatory double and a partner with a worthless hand; and in Contract there are so many high original bids that subsequent bidders usually lack the strength or the nerve for an informatory double. There is one diflerence—and I think an important one—between the doubling methods that should be em- ployed in the two games. In Auction if partner bid a suit, second hand overcall and that overcal! be followed because partner has bid; but in Con- tract, it being very important to show two-sulters when they are held, it is advisable to amend the Auction co - yention and to provide that any ddu- ble of a suit-bid of one or two is in- formatory regardless of whether part- ner has bid or not. This convention has worked exceptionaily well in Contract; those who have tried need not be urged to continue it, and to those who have not tried it. its use is earnestly recommended.

Route, No. 11, reconstruction is go- ing on near StrasPurg, near Mount Jackson and near darrisonburg, ,but the regular road is kept open and a trip can be made over this highway with very little inconvenience. Be- tween Staunton and Roanoke some work is going on just south of §taun- ton, and the road will be found a lit- tle rough for a short distance. This work is expected to be finished by the first of April. Solling work is being done on United States route 15 between Cul- peper and Orange, which makes the road very dusty if dry or muddy if wet, and through traffic is advised to use routes 28 and 16 by Madison Courthouse, which are hard-surfaced. United States route 50 from Wash- ington to Winchester and the West Vir- ginia line is paved and in very good condition.

Work was started several days ago on a bridg: just east of Farmville, but a temporary bridge is being erected beside the old one to take care of the traffic. Recon- struction on short sections of this route between Clifton Forge and Lex- ington is going on, but the regular road is being used and no incon- venience is caused. United States route 211, the Lee highway, from Washington through Warrenton and Sperryville to New Market, is rough from Buckland through Warrenton to near Washing- ton Courthouse, Va., as construction is under way on this entire section. From Washington, D. C., to points along the Valley pike the best way is over route 50 by Winchester while construction on United States route 211 is going on.

Richmond, Va., March 29 (A.P.).— The News Leader said today a re- vised petition for the formation of the proposed Chesapeake & Ohio, Nickel Plate Trunk System will be submitted to the Interstate Com- merce Commission in the next. three weeks. Substitution of the Wheeling & Lake Erie for the Virginian Railway, the paper continued, is said to be the highlight in the new revised Van Sweringen plan. . The Van Sweringen petition has been pending before the commission for more than’a year. Since it was presented the commission has an- nounced a tentative railroad unifica- tion scheme which divides the East into five trunk systems, with the Chesapeake & Ohio the nucleus for one. The Chesapeake & Ohio set-up is materially different from the system planned by the Van Sweringens, but with a few changes is believed acceptable to them, said the paper Danville Mayor Vetoes Fingerprint Measure Special to The Washington Post.

A Fisherman in the White House Sees to It That Uncle Sam Wields a Two-Edged Sword in Effort of angling, capped by the occu- pancy of the White House by «a man who finds his chief recreation with the rod ana reel, the spot- light is thrown upon a great American industry which, while it has grown consistently in im- portance, has not gained the pub- lic notice demanded and received by other endeavors. The fish problem of-the nation is one of such diversity that the Federal Government has been grappling with it for-almost 60 years, with alternate victories and defeats. At a cost of somewhat under $2,000,000 a year it main- tains the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Commerce, whose sole duties are fostering the welfare of an industry repre- senting a commercial value run- ning into nine fgures, while di- rectly affected also are the legion of amateur anglers, whose num- bers the bureau placed at 10,- “900,000. The estimate is based Upon the total of fishing licenses issued by the States annually. Any calculation of twenty years ago would show that not 1,000,- 000 people went fishing during those years, Herbert, Hoover, when Secretary of Commerce, to'd the Izaak Walton League, adding: “But I haVe no sympathy with attempts at disarmament of the gigantic army whith every year marches against the fish, nor any limitations on its equipment of automobiles, tackle or incanta- tions. I am for force, more force, and more fish!” In its role of helping make the American people ‘“fish-minded,”’ to use a popular tag, the Govern- ment discharges the somewhat anomalous functions of conserva- tionist and exploiter. With one hand it is perennially occupied with preventing such destruction of food fish as might jeopardize the supply of the future and at the same time increasing the ‘propagation of fish, while its other hand gestures a standing in- vitation to the people to make more and still more use of the harvest of the waters, whose food values it ever seeks to impress upon the country. : —an the Bureau of Fisheries, whose activities directed by Com- missioner Henry O'Malley, radiate ~ from an unimpressive structure of pre-Clyil War vintage situated on the Mall at Washington, D. C., the Federal Government has a na- tional fisherman who reverses the usual practice of his kind and puts more fish into the water than he takes out. Finned creatures of ~every variety native to American waters come under his charge as well as the other forms of marine life. This national fisherman not only enriches the rivers, iakes and surrounding oceap by planting many millions of new fish annual- ly but he also maintains fish ‘‘doc- tors” to gtudy them and advance their physical well-being. He then counsels American anglers of both the commercial and _ sporting groups as to the best methods of catching and utilizing the wealth of the waters. The oyster is one of the most prolifie of marine animals, a single female ‘giving millions of eggs fh a season, but the oyster is subject . to many perils at all.stages of its life. The bureau is conStantly, at’ work striving to feduce the enor-’ mous mortality.

Like their land inhabiting cous- ins, all aquatic animals are sub- ject to disease and both in a state of nature and in hatcheries are often visited by destructive epi- demics. The bureau has a patho- logist who studies these matters and finds remedies. As measured by economic stand- ards, possibly the most important of the bureau’s activities are those ~ Fish rescue work is an important activity of the United States Bureau of Pisheries. “ployes are here succoring fishes left helpless in pools created by receding flood waters of the Mississippi River. o directed to the propagation of sal- mon, which furnish the raw ma- terial for the gigantic fish can- ning industry on thé Pacific Coast and in Alaska. For years the bu- reau experts have been studying salmon by marking the young fish liberated from the hatcheries and tagging adults to determine from the recapture of these individuals jn the fisheries later the facts of the migrations, distribution, mor- tality, intensity of the fisheries and the practical resulis of. ffah cylture. As in the case of most commer- — cial fisheries, Pacific salmen arti- ficially propagated. are ‘usua'ly E m- planted in waters to which they are indigénous, but they have been successfully cransplanted to the waters of eastern Maine. Similar- ly, an experiment in acclimatiza- tion resulted in the introduction of Atlantic shad and striped bass on the Pacific Coast, where they are now so abund nt that carloads of shad are shipped east each year to supply the deficiency in the markets created by the depletion of the species in its native wate s. tame fish are distributed wide- ly by the bureau to individuals, clubs ahd Staté fisheries depart- ments for stocking interior wa- ters.

For this pur- pose it :.aintains a well-equipped laboratory in Washington and a small fiek. laboratory in San Pe- dro, Calif. At Fairport, Iowa, is the experimental station where mussel culture methods have been developed and where other experi- ments important to the fishing .n- terests of the Mississippi Valley are conducted. Marine biological laboratories also are maintained at Woods Hole, Mass.; Beaufort, N. C., and Key V'cst Fila. The statisti 11 work of the bu- reau is designed to serve both economic and biological ends, to inform th. industry .of its condi- tion an’ growth tendsacies, and to furnish a body of data for the de- tection of threatened depletion of the fish supply. Complete canvass of the fisheries, “details of the catch, investment and emp. y- ment are made at intervals of about five year’. Mcnthly and an- nual reports of the fish landed at important fishing ports such as Boston and Gloucester. Mass.; Portian. Me., and Seattle, Wash., are issued r°gularly, ag aré an- nual reports on eanned fishery products and by-products and monthly bulletins on cold storage holdings of fish. When establishing the Federal commission which is investigat- ing the whole subject of law en- forcement, Presidemt Hoover did not suggest fishing as an antidote for the admitted high prevalence of crime in the United States, but he is on record as asserting that more fishing would improve the moral state of the Nation. “There were lots of people who committed crimes during the last year,”’ the Presidemt -once said, “who would not have done so if they had been fishing, and I as- sure you that the increase in crime is due to a lack of those qualities of mind and character which impregnate the soul of every fisherman except those who get no bites.” Mr. Hoover's conviction that fishing is a recreation which all possible effort should be enrployed to foster has been demonstrated on innumerable occasions. Last summer he took no long vacation away from Washington, but rath- er obtained surcease from his Ita- bors through week-end fishing jaunts to his nearby Rapidan Camp. While he was Secretary of Commerce he went even further, for the Bureau of Fisheries, un- der his jurisdiction, came to be regarded as one of his “‘pets,”’ and he neglected no opportunity to advaace the interests of fishing. It was as a result of this that the last few years have witnesse the inauguration of a cooperative program between the Governmenr and sportsmen’s clubs which bids fair to bring about a marked re- duction in the “time between bites," which Mr. Hoover has whimsically deplored. The then Secretary found that half a century ago the game fish- ermen in certain localities began to complain bitterly to their rep- resentatives about the evident growing scarcity of their quarry. The Government decided to apply artificial means to the natural birth and disrtibution of fish. Forty game fish hatcheries were built by the Government and pri- yate enterprise constructed 60 more. In the passage of time, however, it became apparent that this stimulation was not keeping pace with the growth of fishing, which had meantime greatly ‘n- creased through the sudden uni- versality of the automobile mak- ing hitherto remote @shing holes readily accessible @@ tmereasin«< numbers of angiers. R became

MARCH. 30, 1930. apparent to Mr. Hoover that ‘he Government must either multiply the output of the hatcheries ‘by some fearful number’ or find some other way out. “I expressed to Commissioner O'Malley. when indu@ting him imto the headship of the Bureau of Fisheries, my complete skeptt- cism ovet the effectiveness of our synthetic incubation and its sta- tistical relation to the realistic life of a fish,”’ recounted Mr. Hoover later on. “My general thesis was that those infants did not have a dog's chance to gain that maturity which was required. He and his able assistant, Mr. Leach, thereupon started experi- ments to see if we could not ap- ply mass production in nursing infant trout, bass and other game fish to an age when they could survive traffic accidents or do bat- tle with cannibals or enter the cannibal ranks themselvés——and, in any event, hope to survive. was my aspiration that if these adolescent vouths could not win in open combat, at least some of them, reared to 3 inches long, might make a full meal for a can- nfbal instead of his requiring 200 fry fresh out of the eggs, and then we would save 199 or so. These experiments were seriously successful.” The Secretary next appealed to fish and game clubs threaypghout the country to cooperate in the establishment of -more experi- mental nurseries, the Department of Commerce to furnish free fin- gerlings, free breeding stock and free technical supervision. It was one of the conditions that public streams in each neighborhood should be stocked with yearlings s0 as to give the barefoot boy dnd his bent-pin line a chance also. The result is that today 86 of these cooperative undertakings are in operation, the output being divided equally between the sup- porting clubs and public water courses. The econom’™ aspects of the fishing industry are impressive. According to the most recent sata- tisties, the fisheries of the United States, including Alaska, provide a livelihood for approximately 119.000 commercial fishermen. while 4.300 persons are employed on transporting vessels directly connected with the fisheries. The annual landings of fisheries prod- ucts amount to about 2,500.060.- 000 pounds, valued at more than $1063.000,000 to the fishermen. The annual total of canned fish- eries’ products and by-products has a value of more than $90,000,000. The fisheries of Alaska already have produced wealth far in excess of the pur- chase price of that Territory. Great as is the yearly take of fish in American waters, it is not sufficient to appease the domestic appetite, for imports of fishery products reach a value of $55.- 000,000. while exporte aggregate some $18.000,000. Perhaps the most important re- cent development in the fish in- dustry has been the heavy in- crease in packaged fresh fish. To this the development of quick- freezing methods have contributed enormously for it now is possible to market at points far from the point of production fish which loses none of its appeal to the palate through long transporta- tion, as was the case when only slow refrigeration was available. In 1921 a Boston company be- gan shipping fillets of fish wrap- ped in parchment paper and pack- ed in wooden boxes holding about 20 pounds of fish. A year later another Boston firm began pack- ing these parchment-wiapped fil- lets in tin containers packed in large wooden shipping cases and surrounded with ice. Out of this departure from usual practices a great industry has grown. Today more than 75,000,000 pounds of fish annually finds its way to the comsumer through this channel. Packaged fish has the advantage that it meets the requirements of the retail store and public eating Places for a sanitary, cartened. unit package, wholly edible, easily merchandised and quickly pre- pared for the table. Packaging fish has reduced transportation costs to a minimum and concen- trated the waste at the point of production where it can be utilized economically. Preparing and pack- ing fresh.and frozen fishery prod- ucts at points of production, says Com missioner O'Malley, will make it possible to utilize edible. nu- tritious fish whose qualities here- tofore have not been known or fully appreciated. , Ultimately. he says, it should,te possible to mar- ket every edible fish taken in the commercial catch and it is be- lieved that much of the future of the trade rests in marke'ing these warieties. The development of American Wsheries is closely interwoven with ‘rank of all its industries. the history of the country. Abund- ance of fish was one of the new world’s attractions to early éx- plorers. Fish often constituted al- most the sole food supply of col- onists. Barly New England set- tlers sent back to their old homes enthusiastic tales of fish and fish- . ing and some authorities are-of the opinion that those highly col- ored yarns contributed to the dis- repute in which “fish stories’ are traditionally held. When war interfered with fish- ing, Yankee fishermen took to fighting, furnishing officers and men for the Navy fm all of the country’s times of stress. Ship- ments of dried codfish to the West Indies and Mediterranean coun- tries laid the cornerstone of New England's early prosperity. Alas- ka is associated in the public mind chiefly with furs, minerals and reindeer, but in terms of hard cash its fisheries are in the front Rec- ords of the early explorers on the Great Liker and the Pacifc Coast recount the abundance and desi- rability of the fish found. and these talis doubtless influenced many pionetrs to migrate. rest- ward. The oceans, streams and lakes which water the United States contain more than 250 kinds of food fish, not to speak of a wide variety of shell fish. Fishery products have a variety which is not characteristic of other high- protein foods. In a blindfold test no one would confuse sardines and shad. part'cularly in view of the astonishing needle-like interior framework of the latter. Many fish are like meat in bav- ing a relatively high fat content, while others are lean, with only a small percéntage of fat, and offer welcome means of sus’ “nce to those who ruc: watch their avoirdupois Besides being a leading food- producing industry, the fisheries of America furnish innumerable products used in the arts and sci- ences,in the household and in the manufacturing plant. The early Ind « far.lly budget probably showed its surpluses and deficits in wampum, a medium of ex- change consisting of beads made from seashells. Whale oil at one time was an important illuminant President Hoover's interest in important factor in keeping our for houses, streets and light- houses.

Oyster shells are ground for grit and lime. The fisheries alxo produce ambergris,. used in fine perfumes; agar, derived from sea- weed: fish isinglass, fish glue, sea salt, bath sponges and other im- portant commodities. There has recently taken place a marked development of. water farming or aquiculture in Ameri- ean waters. Acreage devoted to oyster culture is intreasing. Gold- farmers annually produce more than. 20,000,000 of these decoratiye aquarium dwellers, some of which rival the faacy imported varieties. The trout special served in dining cars of ~the West dre in all probability the product of a trout farm. In other days land covered by water was valuable only to un- scrupulous real estate promoters, who sold building lots by the gal- lon, and te mosquitoes as breed- ing places. It now is realized that many such areas can be made to yield a greater cash return through aquiculture than if listed as tillable land. One of the few financially pre- ductive businesses in which the United States Government § en- gages is the management, through the Bureau of Fisheries, of the seal and fox herds of the Pribilof Islands. These islands long a£o were unoccupied by human beings, but they now are inhab- ited by more than 300 Aleuts, whose ancestors were originally carried there by the Russians; «a score of white employes of the bureau and a small detachment which operates the naval radio station. Otherwise the islande are populated — by a herd ot valuable fur s Under Russian administration ' and the leasing system which the United States followed until 1916, aggravated by the uncontrolled killing of the animals at sea, the herd was reduced to some 132,- 000. Since the Government as- sumed full control in that year and instituted. more conservative management, and. with the abeli- tion of killing at sea under treaties with Great Britain, Japan and Russia, whose natiqnals were engaged in the»practice, the herd has increased to about 800,000 in- dividuals of all ages. 9 Thus the bureau has success- fully imtroduced an P lyre angie of aquatic farming the* nature of animal husbandry. Thirty thousand surplus bulls killed an- nually furnish about 80 per cent of the world supply of sealskins. The Great American Husband may not relish this governmental! ac- tivity, but the fact remains that what now is an 4mportant and profitable enterprise would have been another chronicle of vanish- ed wild life had it not been for Federal intervention, protection 7 and administration of the disap- ~ pearing seal family. $ The men of the fishing industry do not sow the harvest they reap. but toll is exacted for every pound of fish taken. Horny-fisted men who set trawis in wintér and sum- mer, often tm the diréct lanes of huge steamers and icebergs and in ali kinds of cruel weather, mast be hardy and courageous. Seldom do long periods of time go y without the reported lose of a trawier or fishing smack, some- times with all on board, while there is a never-ending succession of the loss of jmem bers of the fishing crews, dragged un- der the wave by “dat ole davil sea.”” The men who go down to the sea in ships to provide marine fare for our tables must be ready to face unknown terrors, for death and the sea are partnership and the wa- ters do not yield their treasures cheaply.

= a ~~ ‘\ \. ago, when you” might. have seen a tall, rather thin young priest in baseball uniform, pitch- ing a perfect game against the varsity teanf at the National Cath- olic University. In the parlance of that game, he stood the heavy hitters of the varsity on their heads. He had an assortment of curves that Rube Waddell might well have envied; he had a burst of speed that Walter Johnson praised, and he had a slow ball that even old man Clark Griffith in his prime could not have matched. This paragon of an athlete had never been to a regular schoal; he had at go time in his life played on the sahd lots: what he knew about baseball and the att of pitching he had picked up on the T HERE wasa day, not so long campus of the Catholic University ~ while practicing with the squad between the hours of saying his Greek and his philosophy and his biology at the Marist College just over the way. What he might have become in the way of a fa- mous bali tosser has grown into a tradition at the institution out Michigan avenue way. He never did take it seriéasly: that f&. so seriously that he would have fore- sworn ‘his habit and his monk’s cell for the diamond. But this priest is something "more than an athlete. He is re- puted to be a scholar of distinc- tion. Abready he has his master's degree from the Catholic Univer- sity; and is even now far on his way toward that degree in phi- losophy which education has, in recent years, sef up as the mini- mum standard even for those: who teach in éhe kindergartens. It matters not—and this we say by way of an aside—that Woodrow Wilson said, in an intimate jetter to his first wife, that the degree it self is worthless. “‘A man’s a man for'a’ that and a’ that.” Yet we must have it if we. would have the hallmark of educatioh on our wares. So often have I heard it said— by the uninformed, to be sure— that the hierarchy sets no great store on edueation, and that its schools are not tutored by schol- ‘ars. This is just one of those pleasant fictions like that of the “soulless woman” which make easy conversation, and end just there. In most of the Catholic episcopal dioceses—at least in those which this writer is weil acquainted——the-teaching orders, even in the parochial. schools, are being required to make the stand- ards we set for teachers in our common schools; and every higher- school of learning they maintain is crowded duritig the summer periods with these teachers going to summer schools. To meet the competition of other private and parochial schools and of the Amer- ican public schools is ne easy - task; but it is being met and sehol- ars are being made, probably in the same proportion that they are being turned out by other educa- tional systems. Our young priest has fitted ints this system like the glove on a well-clad woman’s hand. He would not be an athlete: he could not be what he wanted to be; and so he turned to scholarship to find a vent for his restless mental energy and his thirst for knowledge. We can understand why he would not ‘besmirch his habit by commercial- izing a mere gift of animal strength and cunning, but why could he not follow the bent of his own mind? In the Catholic Church there are certain orders, some of them very old and some of them still in the prime of lusty youth. When you enter one of them, you do so voluntarily and .you. surrender your will and your time and your actions to the powers that be. Il have often heard this system criti- cized, sharply so by some of my Protestant friends: and yet IL_re- caH that my dear old Methodist parson father did just that for 62. years.

By a preaching order. Its chief glory, however, is that it is a anissionary and ay evangelical order. “Just like Billy Sunday,’ ane of the Marist fathers earnestly said to me, in describing the evangelical nature of their preaching. »**What we aim to do is to save souls for Jesus Christ,”’ he said. That is the business, I take it, and the sole bisiness, of all those who wear the livery of heaven. If not, they have on the wrong harness. Some 75 years ago, in 1844, to be exact, the reigning Pope asked the Marists to undertake the Christianization of the Melanesian Islands in the South Pacific. It was done. But with terrible re- sults. ,The first bishop was mur- dered the moment he set foot on dry land. “ Some of his associates followed him to a bloody end, and the cannibals ate their flesh and drank their blood. The second bishop died of yellow fever. Ev- ery répeated effort to establish a mission on those far-off islands met with failure. When the sav- ages did not kill the priests, yel- low fever and marsh fever did. Fifty years went by before a plant- ing was made. During all that lohg period no priest visited the islands. Just at the time William Mc- Kinley, of Ohio, came to the throne in this country, in 1897, the Marists once more girded up their loins and set sail for the Sol- omon Islands, determined to plant the cross there and keep it set up where all men might see it. The day of the martyrs was gone, but the seed of harvest had come. First the priests went and then. the lay brothers and then the nuns, and as fast as they came they died with some of the terri- ble fevers peculiar to that worst of climates, or succumbed to the heat and the tropicai rains. I has been the unloveliest prospect that ever faced the Roman Church in its efforts to spread the gospel. Who would think that such a spot could beckon to an athlete and a fameus scholar? He surely weuld care to live where life can be lived and where books are to be had and where cultured society is to be. found But not this priest. From childhood his heart was set on going to the Solomon Islands. where he might live among the cannibals and the lep- ers and dare the fevers and the climate to do their worst with Wim.. Truly a remarkable man. Let us see who he is. No man in the fabulous old City of New Orleans is better known than Father Thomas J. Larkin, an A ‘The a Sisters’ Convent in its jun Irish priest, whose diocese is in a community across the river known as Algiers. Everybody has heard of Martin Behrman, who was may- of. New Orleans for so many years. .Althongh of Hebrew ‘ex- traction, he was a member of Fa- ther Larkin’s-parish, and they were inseparable chums of many years’ standing. But Mayor Belr- man s just“one of the many friends of this old Irish priest. If ever prelate could be sald to be an institution in a community, this can be said of Father Larkin. He is a’ Marist, one of the old- est living members of the order. Every few years he goes back to Ireland and gathers up a group of boys and brings them to America to be educated in Marist schools for service in the Marist order. In 1906 he brought to this country from his home in Belfast a lad named James MeConville, and placed him in the Marist apostolic school at Washington. There and at Marist College the boy studied for thirteen years; the first six in the school, thén the seventh in his novitiate known as the first novi- tiate, and then six years in college, where his tutors pounded Greek and Latin, philosophy and theol- ogy, biology and chemistry, and kindred subjects into his head. Just to show them how good he was, he took several courses at Catholic University, and that is how he got his great reputation as a baseball player. If he had remained within the gates of Mar- ist College his athletics would ‘have been confined to handball and tennis and the game the young clerics have evolved them- selves, known as pitching football. Those who view the modern fo0'- ball game with its forward passes think they see something: and they do. But they should hide in the bramble bushes that grow near Marist College and watch the young clerics in their habit fling a football. When young McConville made his first novitiate he expressed a desire to be sent to the Solomon Islands. It was denied him by the general superior of his order liv- ing in Rome. This high funetion- ary can assign a member of the order to any position within the bounds of the province where he lives, but not beyond it. Yet when one of them aSks for an assign- ment to the Solomon Islands, the generatalone has the right of veto. At his ordination, young Mc- Conville repeated his request; and a second time it was denied him. ™~ ng at Makégai, Solomon Islands. te DAVID RANKIN BARBEE. 4 Why, no one seems to know. Prob- ably it was thought best not to ruin a great scholar in the mak- ing by trying to make a missionary °o f him. Immediately upon béing ordain- ed Father McConville was sent, in 1917, t6 the Marist -College, St. Mary's, at Van Buren, Me., where = he taught until 1922, when he was sent to Mexico City, remaining on’ duty there for a year. Weturning to Washington in 1923, he has been teaching philosophy and theoldgy at'‘' Marist College until the past summer. In this order they have a system of self-examination, a sort of tak- ing stock of one’s spiritual values, which is called the second noviti- ate. It is ordered by the general. and usually comes the tenth year after ordination. Those who make this second novitiate live apart, in a small room, -where, on humble fare and without distraction, they meditate and pray and have ne other communion except with the master of the novitiate. an elderly priest. It is a beautiful custom, that first was initiated by Jesus Christ himself and for man¥ years was practiced in every welli-regu lated Christian household. Who of us now in middle life does not remember the elders of his family going apart in a room by them- selves with their Bible and sitting down or kneeling down to read it and pray and meditate. When that old custom began to fade out of. our religious life, relicion itself began to lose its tight hold on the race. The past summer, so I am told, Father McConville recéived in- structions to make his second novitiate. “I want to go to Solo- mon Islands,”’ was his reply, mak- ing ready to go into retreat and do as he was bid. A return cable came back from Rome, **Report to the Mother House at Lyons and there make your novitiate.”” it said. And taking another man's passage he went, and now he is through and is in Ireland bidding his family farewell. Pretty soon ‘he will be in Washington, where the most solemn service of the Roman Church will be performed as his brethren here, among whom he haa lived for s0 many years, say good-by forever. If this consecration or deaics- tion or farewell service were -o be held at one of the Marist Col- leges in Ireland or in France, his family would be presen: by cour- tesy, and at the altar they would w *® 2 Soe ee kiss him farewell, provision being made in the ritual for just that. It has always been good-by and farewell, for though theoretically the missionary is supposed to re- turn every fifteen years, few of them live that long in that terribly unhealthy climate. No man who goes out knows if he will escape leprosy or yellow fever or the wearing down that comes from living in a Turkish bath every day of his life. When Father McConville gets back to Marist College here next month the consecration service will take place ia the pres- solemn ence of no more than 5% persons, probably in the night time. Larkin will be there, if alive. Every person present will take part in the service, which will consist of chanting some of the great hymns of the Phuerch, the reading of the ritual and pro- nmouncing of certain questions to the candidate. If on thie occasion he decides not to go, he has but to say so, for that last chance will be afforded him. I am told that this particular catechism is one of the most awful—using the word ia ts primitive sense, majestic. impres- sive, emotional—in the Catholic ritual. Once it is over the good-by has been said and the missionary now goes forth without two pairs. of sandals or money in his purse. By his vows he must find the money to carry him to his. mission sta- tion. There are now in Ching and India and other mission stations 4 number of Protestant missionaries who went forth in a similar way, trusting to God to carry them over and to send His raven to feed them. This has not worked out very well with this class of mis- sionaries, for they have proved to be a burden on other mission sta- tions. How does it work with the Marists? The missionary goes from Cath- olic church to Catholic church, preaches a missionary sermon, talks about his work and then “*h’ists”’ a collection, as the old- time Methodists used to phrase it. He keeps on going until he has enough money to get him to his station and then he depends on the bishop in charge of the vicar- late to feed and clothe him and succer him. When he gets to the Solomon Islands the brilliant young mis- sionary will find himself under the British flag once more, for they are part of the British Empire. He will find Protestant and Cath- olic mission stations on all of the Melanesian Islands, “In the Sol- omons, as in the most part of the Pacific Islands, the Protestants have arrived before us,"’ says the present Catholic Bishop, the Right Rev. L. M. Raucaz, in his little book, “In the Savage South Solo- mons.” “The white ministers are usually courteous to us, helpful at times as between man and man.” Furthermore, be will find schools going, taught by nuns, and a printing press set up by the mis- sionaries and manned by the na- tives, from which have been issued in the Solomon tongue the cate- chism, hymns, prayers, a short life of our Lord, an abridgement of the Old Testament and a history of the primitive Church. [Im ad- dition to this, In 1911 the first number of Turupatu (News), a Catholic news sheet, began to make its appearance, containing “just enough elements, literary and scientific, to train our natives and gradually raise them from their state of ignorance.” How wonderful, how strange, that exactly the same method was being first used in America that same year of 1911 in the “‘moon- light schools"’ of Kentucky by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, to teach the illiterates of these mountains how to read and write! Father MeConville will find a race of cannibals. head hunters, among whom to labor, and a growing company of lepers, who are being gathered up and segre- gated in a leper colony, where he may often have to go to minister. . He will find his colleagues in the priesthood all wearing heavy, long beards. No priest in those islands ever uses a razor. Why, no One seems to know. **Burted alive,’’ this piece might well be titled, for that is/what- it amounts to. What a tremendous Father amount of heroism it takes to face.» such an outlook!

4 HEN Bronson Cutting, of W wealthy and aristocratic lineage, graduate of Gro- ton School and Harvard, now a rising young senator from the far- away State of New Mexico, led a temporarily winning fight on the floor of the Senate to strike from the tariff bill the section which empowers the Customs Service to exclude and destroy attempted importations of books and pic- turee and pamphlets ruled to be obscene, he had in his desk the Treasury Department's confiden- tial list of books which had fallen under the ban in the past. Cutting, whose tri- umph was short-lived, since the censorship section was restored, commented on the list. but re- frained from inserting it in the Congressional Record, on the ground that it might be impru- dent to give wide public circwla- tion to this itemized compendium of erotic literature of all nations and all ages. The Treasury Department has at all times closely guarded this information. Importers, book- sellers and lawyers have begged im vain to be furnished with a copy of the list of books. the importation of which has been officially prohibited. But Senator Cuttings col- leagues whose curiosity was whet- ted by his talk, exerted their eenatorial privileges to inform themselves as to the contents of the secret list, and so the list. though still surreptitious, is by way of being no longer secret. The list covers a dozen long pages of closely spaced double columned hames, comprising more than one thousand titles. Two- thirds at least are of books in French and Spanish and Italian. all of them as betrayed by their titles, dealing with the love theme fm varying degrees of intensity. and with the frankness for which the Latin races are noted. Some of these in a foreign language are of the so-called ‘‘classics’’ but comparatively few. Many of them are amorous novels of the current and transitory European literary crop. A large percentage, how- ever, are frankly and obviously pornographic of the kind secretly circulated all over the world in every language and theoretically Outlawed in almost every land. For the senators and for most other Americans the books on the list which are printed in English hold the most interest. These roughly divide themselves imto four categories. First of all are the so-called classics, Aristophanes and Pe- tronius; the “Decameron” and the “Heptameron,” Rabelais; Balzac'’s “Droll Stories.” “The Nights of Straparola,.” the Mad- rus transiation of the “Arabian Nights,”’ Casanova’s Memoirs (the work which Havelock Ellis asserts is one of the literary masterpieces of all ages). Bran- tone’s ‘“‘Lives of the Gallant La- dies"’ and similar works which are on the private shelves of every university library. One of the anomalies of customs book censorship is fact that the “Decameron” and “Heptameron,” “Rabelais” and the “Droll Stories,” the importa- tion of which, if the volumes contain the full and unabridged text, is strictly prohibited. are being published and _ sold by the thousands and the, tens of thousands within the United States today, with but little legal) interference. Except for Boston. these books are publicly dis- played and offered for sale in the book shops of most of the large cities of the country, even to paper-covered editions retail- ing at $1, which puts them within the reach of all. After long years of: experience with these classics, the customs censors are very expert in deter- mining almost at once whether a particular edition is unexpur- gated and is to be confiscated. or whether it has been edited and abridged to pass muster. Thus. in the case of the “Decameron” they turn to the tenth story of the third day. which is entitled “Alibech, Turning Hermit. Is Tanght by Rustico. a Monk. to Put the Devil Into Hell.” If the story is all there in English «he volume, figuratively speaking. is consigned to tiie furnace. But if the text is deleted or. as is fre- quently the case. the offending description and dialogue is print- ed in Latin. then they conclude that the volume it permissible. In the case of “The Golden Asi of Apuleius," a page or two in Senator this the a THE WASHINGTON: POST: SUNDAY, MARCH 30. 1930. In Eliminating and Then Restoring Censorship - ?

By RALPH C. MULLIGAN the middle of the (®nth chapter fs submitted to a similar” test. The second category of banned books in English are recent works by contemporary literary figures and which have provoked con- troversy and achieved consider- able fame or ill-fame. Typical of this group is “Ulysses,” “written and published in Paris, in English, by James Joyce, darling of the moderns. The stories Of the sup- pression and confiscation.of vari- ous editions of this work are too long and too numerows to recount here. The book itself is nearly 1,000«pages, and the story, like a modernistic painting, is so dif- ficult for the man in the streets ‘to understand or appreciate that “Ulysses” would never find wide popular sale. Hence this is the one book which has never been secretly reprinted in this coun- try. The large expense involved in setting such a prodigious quantity of type, and a market limited to Greenwich Village and other se- lect cultural groups, many of whom would not have the price anyhow, operated to prevent the pirating of “Ulysses.”’ In this ease the only copies circulated here have actually been smuggied through the customs. The author, Mr. Joyce, and the publisher, Sylvia Beach, an Amer- ican woman, who conducts a smal! bookshop itn the Latin quarter of Paris, are inordinately proud of the abortive efforts which have been made to suppress this opus. On the title page of the current edition of “Ulysses” appears the followtag chronudlagy: . “First printing (Shakespeare & Co., Paris) February, 1922, (1,- 000 numbered copies). “Second printing (Egoist Press, London) October, 1922, numbered copies of which 500 copies were burned by New York Postoffice authorities). “Third printing (Egoist Press, London) January, 1923, (500 numbered copies of which 499 seized by custems agthorities, Folkestone). “Fourth printing (Shakespeare & Co., Paris) January, 1924," and so on with varying history at varying intervals dbdbwn to the eighth printing in May, 1926, by which time the original plates bad entirely worn out and according to the announceMent the “type was entirely reset.” This is one of the very few books in the English language of any literary pretensions whatever which is banned by the TEnglish censor and barred from . His Majesty's mails. Other books in this category are Frank Harris’ biography which he has been writing and publishing volume by volume for the past ten years under the title, “My Life and’ Loves,” and “‘Lady Chatterly’s Lover,"’ by D. H. Law- rence, the well-known Wuglish novelist, the book which brought a jail sentence to a Cambridge, Mass., bookseller. Mr. Harris, now in his old age, § (2,000 ; who has lived a long and adven- turous life editing magazines in this céuntry and in England, and writing many books of criticism and comment which enjoy wide and unreprebsed circulation, got a lot of free publicity for his bio; graphy when he annomneed that he had been obliged to have it printed in Germany, because no print shop in London or In Parie was willing to set the type, so frank were Frank's disclosures about his love adventures. The first volume lived up to its advance notices, and copies which reached the United States from Germany fetched as much as $100 each, Subsequent volumes which maintained a less sustained pitch of erotic adventure, were pub- lished in Paris and freely sold there, and all the volumes have been reprinted by book bootleg> gers in New York and in Canada and sold by the thousands at from $10 upward per volume. “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” was printed privately by Mr. Law- rence in Florence, Ltaly, two years ago. He signed each copy of an edition of*750 copies and undertook literally to carry out his intention that they were for private circulation only. But few copies of this edition ever reached this country. The Customs De- partment actually confiscated. six copies of this book found in the mails, and few leaked through except in the baggage of return- ing travelers. But this book, Harris’ Life,” was like “Frank immediately ™ “500.numbered copies, of which 499 were seized by customs authorities” ~ al Those Naughty Senate-Banned Books and privately reprinted by book pirates ip this country without asking any leave of the author, and several thousands such cop- ies are reported to have been surreptitiously distributed. Most of the pirated reprints of Frank MHarris’ “Life and Loves” were manufactured in Brooklyn, though one. pirated edition of volume one-was print- ed in Canada and smuggled over the border. The reprints of “Lady Chatterly’s Loyer’’ origi- nated in Philadelphia, and a large supply of this book were seized in the hands of a Philadelphia bookseller by the local police there, in recent weeks.” The third category are books relating to sex and to birth con- trol. Thus “Psychopathia Sexu- alis,” by a noted German physi- - cfan; “Sexual Hygiene,” “Married Love,” .by Marie Stokes; “Medi- cal. Aspects of Contraception,” ‘Parenthood Design or Accident,” “Practical Birth Control,”’ are on the list. Most of these books are published in this country as well as if England, but the cus- toms authorities will not permit the importation of English edi- tions. : : In the fourth category are the books of clearly pornographic import. John Cleland’s famous “Eanny Hill,” written a century ago and suppressed so long, yet circulated so «widely that-its title is almost a by-word, is typical. Other lesser known books which have found their way into the clutches of the customs make “Fanny Hill” seem almost a Sua- day school book in comparison, “The School of Love,” “Flossie,” “Ernestine,” “The Vices of Wom- en,” “Silk Stockings,” “The Wed- ding Night,” .are titles reminis- cent of the paper-backed lieve stories on the news stands a dec- ade ago, but the “ contents of these customs-banned volumes go the limit and beyond. Neither Senator Cutting nor any of his colleagues criticize the ex- clusion and suppression of -por- nographic filth, but rather they have contended that the customs Censorship should not go outside that field. They contend that an unwise and illogical extension of the cus- toms censorship can mot be cor- rected except by eliminating it al- together. They are probably mind- ful of the fact that the customs ban a@s a practical matter is quite ineffectual fm accomplishing the suppression of pornographic mat- ter within the United States. Other books of consequenee on the banned list, not previously mentioned include the Ananga Ranga and the Kama Sutra, the famous and anctent treatises. from India, om the art of love, and the Perfumed Garden, of the same gender. “Aphrodite” and the “Songs of Bilitis,”’ by the modern French author, who writes of the days of ancient Greece and Rome, Pierre Louys: “The Wild. Party,” a narrative poem by an Ameritan, Joseph Moncure March, first pub- lished in Chicago and subsequent- ly copyrighted and issued ip.

(Louis Untermeyer, the American poet and Htterateur eulogizes Mr. March's work) and “My First Thirty Years,”” by Gertrude Beas- Jley, who recounts her early life in Texas and the Southwest. : The Beasley book was published in Paris and received widespread and flattéfing notices in the li- terary reviews there and here. It is a frank and unpleasant auto- biography, but no more frank and no more unpleasant than many counterparts published promiscu- ously inthis country to cater to the public appetite for realism and true stories and confessions. The Custom’s Book Censorship list is further notable for certain omissions, for example, “The Well “ of Loneliness” and “All Quiet on the Western Front,” both of which for one reason or another received immense publicity in this ceuntry with respect to cen- sorship. -Neither title is on the list. In the case of “The Well of Loneliness,”” by an English girl, and first published there, the English censors fired the first shot. They were aroused, so they said, not by any single passage or any single word, for the lan- guage throughout was most chaste, but they objected to the theme which ‘dealt- with sex abnormality in, the female..of the species.

- THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 1930. {/’Shout Ama “LayOn Mac W “tor dramati has gone in for dramatics. So many amateur dra- W organizations exist in Wash- ington today that even the news- paper men can not keep up with them. This, in the estimation of many, is a reversion to type, for there was a time, in the long, long ago, when Washington was the national incubator for the stage. In all branches of dramatics Washington has led the field. Any old-timer, in a’ moment of remin- iscence, will let lightly trip the names of a dozen or more stage stars: Eugenie Biair—all the old folks remember Eugenie Blair, of course. Eugenie, who was the rage of her day, away back in the nine- ties. Charles B. Hanford, the Shake- spearean actor, who in his later years retired and camé to live in his old Washington home, and who recited “The Star-Spangled Bafiner’’ whenever occasion war- ranted an unusual rendition. Helen Hayes (Brown)—little Helen Hayes; diminutive star of Broadway productions, whe came closer to wearing the mantle of Maude Adams than any other ac- tress of the present generation. Ruth Chatterten—Ruthie, the beautiful, who walked out of a Georgetown convent one day, passed tue old Columbia Theater, went back stage for a job, and there and then started a dramatic career that led her through three different spheres—straight dra- matic, musical comedy and now the films. Billie Burke—she of the flam- ing red hair, the perfect profile, and the dancing blue @6yes; Billie Burke, who never misses a chance to come back to the city of her birth, and who has such a hard time finding her way .around town, the city has changed so. Afterward Billie wurke married Florenz Ziegfeld. Ina Claire—who was Ina Fagan — a litHde gal who got her start in lifé over Swampoodle way, who came to be one of the most suc- cessful artists on the stage, be- cause she never played in a poor play, and who -taiter went movie and married the screen lover, John Gilbert. Al Jolson, the South Washing- ton boy who started life as a can- tor, gave up all thought of a re- ligious life and later became one of the highest-priced entertafftiers in the world. Nat Wills, poor old Nat, who met such an untimely death, car- bon ,monoxide gas from the ex- Aaust of his own car, the greatest " tramp comedian of ‘em all, with his medals strung across his breast; Nat Wills of the happy smile and the glib tongue: “The Son of Rest.”’ Emma and Johnnie Ray, who started here with their act and afterward toured the . country, proving one of the most popular teams ever on the stage. William Pruett—Bill Pruett, the barytone, who was with Fritzi Scheff in the Victor Herbert oper- etta, «““Mile. Modiste,”’ and sang the song that he helped make famous, “I Want What I Want When I Want It.”’ James» Mahony, brother of Felix Mahony, the artist—Jim Mahony, now gone to his reward, who was one of the best all-round actors that ever stepped on the stage. Samuel Keene, also amongst those who have gone hence, and a star of comic opera without a peer. Annie Lewis, the singer, who worked along the same lines as Maggie Mitchell and Lotta, and who grew to be a popular favorite in her own right. Robert L. Downing, who stp ~ ported Mary Anderson, Romeo to her Juliet. ward became an evangelist, ‘fell from grace,” as his old friend “Bill” Landyoight puts it, but is now back in harness—-playing re- cently in the Auditorium in re- vival of his old successes. Well, these are some of the old- timers—though perhaps exception should “be made in the cases of Ina Claire, Ruth Chatterton and Helen Hays. They are not old by any means, though they belong to the coterie that put Washing- ton on the theatrical map and whose works theatric have un- doubtedly inspired others to take up the burden of theatricals. — Evidently, the young folk in this city have decided that the time has come to -present the _stage with another galaxy of star Of course, since the days of ~ long ago, the days let us say of — “ Wilton | Lackaye, another Wash- playing Bob after-* Washington Prepares to Give the Stage Another Galaxy of Stars as a Result of Unprecedented Activity Among Amateur Theatrical Organiza- tions—I wo Hundred Said to Be Conservative Estimate of ‘Those in Operation—Many Fine Per- formances Given During Past Year—A Survey. ington product, many youngsters have gone forth from this town to the big leagues of the theater. To mention only a few, there is. Kate Srtith, now cavorting on a New York stage after having proved a sensation year before last in the musical comedy field. There is Ann Suter, who went into vaudeville and who has trouped ‘the wide world over, ‘playing, as the old German nar- rative has it, ‘‘before the crowned heads of Europe and other prom- inent people.”’ “Slim” Callam once set the world afire or, at least, that part of the world that used to gather round the tables at the first great cabaret in W Endres, at Eleventh street and New York avenue—and Slim afterward went out on the vaudeville cir- euit with his peculiarities and made good. Helen Ault, a pretty little girl who is now engaged in the musi- cal comedy field, is well known in amateur theatrical circles. Her latest offering here, however, was in the professional field, with the Charles Emerson Cook musical comedy company. Marjorie Joestyn, once winner of the title, ‘“‘Miss Washington,” in a beauty contest, went into the musical comedies of Broadway, later into the films, ‘With Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer. Then there is that youthful trio —Foster, Fagan and Cox, the Three Horsemen of the old St. Patrick Players—-who have won a niche for themselves in the wider field of entertainment, first on the vaudeville stage and later over the radio. They noW couple these two forces and make ‘em pay. The list might be extended a couple or more columns. There was Jack Devereaux, who married John Drew's daughter; though this is not the reason Jack made good on the stage. On the eon- trary, Jack Devereaux was a good actor even in the days when. he By JOHN J. DALY was a student at University, “You had to be a good actor in those days,” as Jack tells it. “Hither that, or a good athlete. And I always liked the stage.”’ The Iverson Twins, known pro- Georgetown Numerous amateur acting groups. are composed tic young people of whom these members of the St. ing. It is true that Washington, in its early days supported some of the finest dramatic clubs in this-country. The Lawrence Bar- rett Dramatic Club was perhaps the most famous.

Many of there Barrett Club players could Nave gone on the stage but decided ‘twas better to remain here on the peaceful banks of the Potomac. Two of those fellows are Matt Horn and George O'Connor, sometimes called the entertainers of Presi- dents. Ed Walsh was an actor then, and he has many contem- poraries in town who wore the buskin with him. These people, then, inspiration for the latter day thespians. The city now is filled with ambitious youngsters who Want to make names for them- selves on the stage. were the almost ScHOO!] in Washington-——save those in the lower ranks—has a dra- matic club. This is particularly true of the-girls’ schools in the city and in vicinities surrounding the city. The fashionable schools are equipped with every facility for the staging of plays. At a time when drama is being studied very intensively in the high schools of the Nation, Wash- ington leads the entire country in manifested interest in this parti- cular subject. Kenneth Mac- gowan, am authority on the*sub- ject, Is responsible for the state- ment that one-third of the 22,000 high schools in America are-prob- ably studying and applying pro- duction methods to a rather de- cent grade of plays. There is the sum and substance of the whole situation; The high schools of the land are vitally in- terested in drama. In Washing- ton, 75 per cent of the high chools report dramatic activities. Such activity as this brought about the play tournaments that have evinced so much interest in Washington these past four or five years. Now tue play tournaments are not, by any means, confined to the schools of the city; but the schools have given quite an impe- tus to the work. As a matter of fact, the tourna- ment was probably a natural ‘growth, and came about for the every .. Feason that so many different or- ganizations had gone in for ama- teur dramatics. Scan the pages of a newspaper in Washington, on any day of the year, and there will be found notice of amateur dra- matic activity. So active are the amateurs that The Washington Post recently had to give a complete and separate department to the activities of the clubs and churches, schools and other organizations fostering dra- matics. There is a drama section nected with the Federation of Women’s Clubs—and this one or- ganization probably controls 20 or 30 more. So, too, others. The Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation puts on splendid theatrical entertainment in Barker Hall. The League of American Pen Women, Washington Branch; do the same, sponsoring a playwrit- ing group. As an example of this activity, the playwright group of the Pen Women recently had William Lee Corbin talk to them on Barrie, the dramatist. Later, a cast from the Marjorie Webster School pre- sented a Barrie play, “Rosalind.” On top of that, an original play, “Bait,”’ by Mrs. Winifred Cullum, was given its premiere before the group. This is what Washington, con- takes place in night In. and night out. Some group is giving a play. Several groups are giving plays. The town, in a manner of speak- ing, is play crazy. The Arts Club, some years ago, started *gjving one-act plays in its little theater. 50 popular were these offerings that the club was foreed to build a large sized audi- torium. It was the Arts Club that really starfed the one-act play on its way to popularity in Washing- ton. First it began as a play- wrighting contest. Sometimes as many as 100 manuscripts were submitted. When these had heen culled down by a competent com- mittee, three of the prize winning plays were produced. So much in- terest was aroused in this method of having plays written and pre- sented that other groups in the city followed the lead of the Arts Club. Nowadays, a with a -play Nts dying man or a woman need have no fear of for lack of production; if it- has any merit, whatsoever. There are all sorts of organiza- tions in Washington looking for play material and for players to produce their dramatic works. The play producing activity of Washington amateurs runhs the gamut of dramaturgy. There is nothing, seeminglyY, too far re- moved from the pale of produe- tion. The highest and the lowest forms of dramatic art are given expression on the stages of aina- teur producing unlits in this city. Thus, the Shakespeare Society every now and then puts on a play from the workshop of the old master himself. The Shake- speare Society of Washington is one of the most active of its kind in the United States. It holds an annual banquet and during the year at various periods has lec- tures on @@me phase of Shake- spearean activity Dr. E. V. Wuileox, magazine writer, is the Shakespeare Society. Through his active influence, and the en- thusiasm he engenders, Shakespeare Society has great things: is still doing great things: It sponsors anywhere from ten to twelve lectures a year, each lecture augmented with some sort of scene from a Shake- spearean play. No phase of Shakespearean study is over- looked. On the first Monday of each month, in the Corcoran Gal- lery of Art, these meetings are held. The hour is the regular theater hour—8:15. There and then such events as these take place: “Recent ture,” Mr. H.

He was obliged to pro- vide his horse and clothing out of the $64 annual salary. But even with this small salary he managed to get immense re- turns out of life, far more than many people of today who make more in a day than-he did in.a year. He was on companionable terms with the great big outdoors. He knew trees, birds, animals and flowers. He saw the stars every night—something that city dwell- ers have almost forgotten were in existence. And, best of all; he knew humanity, and he took time to be human. He saw thousands of worth-while things that some of our hurry-up flivverers of today entirely overlook in their mad rush to go nowhere and angrily honk for everybody to leap out of their way.

The death of Washington is thus referred to in Asbury's jour- nal: “Slow moved the northern post on the eve of New Year's Day, and brought the heart-distressing intelligence the death of Washe ington Washington, the calm, intrepid disinterested friend, first father, and temporal savior wf his counts under divine protection and direction.

hls THE STORY SO FAR: Edward Bardolph, a multi- millionaire, creates a stir m society by the vastness wealth.

Together they plan to be present at an elaborate dinner Bardolph its giving the following Friday.

Cantlick and I, looking at the papers, found that Anglo-lberians still dropped There was what the city editors described as “a panicky feeling;’’ they suggested that a statement by Mr. Bardolph would possibly allay it We dismissed the sub- ject from our conversational list at my request, and went for a long tramp southward over the hills Friday morning brought the same story of decline, though it was not quite so marked Bar- dolph had deigned to take the advice of the city editors. tie had made a statement on the posi- tion of the concerns in Mexico and advised every holder of stock to have faith in it.

I suppose you wouldn’t care to come round?” “No—I want to work today. I’m off to Eastbourne this evening. By the way, Cantlick, are you staying overnight at Bardolphs?” “Not asked.” he replied. “No, I’m going to Town by the 9:50. I can just get home before midnight that way.” “And lunch?” “Wella! hardly‘ cared to suggest it: but might I bring Mellon back here?

Of course |! agreed. Thus at lunch I entertain- ed two of the guests at the famous dinner-party. Mellon hardly fulfilled my pre- conception of a secretary in the City. He was a man of parts—a tall, dark fellow of, say, 30. well- bred and well-educated. He did not once mention Bardo!ph or finance. He would talk books, or py or sport, or gardening. He ll in love with my little garden, so that, instead of going out for a second round, he and Cantlick sat there with me till tea-time. Then Mellon left for Woodbury Manor, where he had an appoirt- ment with Bardolph on business before dinner. I record these de- tails b-e-ause of what happened af- terward. A long day. For me it was a blank. My romantic soul concen- trated upon the hour of -nine .at night, when I was to be the means of r.scuing Miss Katherine from the dirty paws of the untonchable Bardolph and placing her in the arms of the ceeraney Edderley. WO thi WCU HURST AGENT The intervening hours repre- sented mere boredom. I dined at half-past seven, alone. I told Fenstock to have a good supper. He rais«c* his eyebrows higher than ever. Ata quarter to nine he had the car at the garden gate, closed, and my bag mounted on the running-board. I took my place beside him. “Drive to the corner first, stock.” I said. The car moved a hundred yards down the road and stopped. “Now,” said I, “drive to End. Go slowly and pull the white gate.”’ Fenstock moved on without a word. It was two miles to the place of assignation. We were there before nine o’elock. “Pull in on the grass under the trees and switch off the lights,’’ I ordered. Fenstock drew the car against the hed~e, switched all off, and sat like a monument. “Open the offside rear door,” said I. Fenstock leaned over and opened the door. “Fenstock,” said I, “we may have passengers this evening and we may not go to Eastbourne—at any rate at present. I don't know. But it’s all the same to you.” “Quite, sir.”’ “You are a very Fenstock,”’ I added. ‘*] wasn’t aware of it,” he an- ewered, “but, if you say so, sir, I am a very forgetful man.” “You fan never remember Fen- Wood up by forgetful man, '* whether we had any passengers Or not. You have no memory for faces or places. You just drive you are told and take no notice of anything but the wheel, the accelerator, and the brake.” “Exactly. sir.”’ said Fenstock. “Then that’s all right,”’ said I “Tits rather dark in the woods, but very pleasant, and I am fond of silence at this time of night.” I looked at Fenstock. He stared at the spokes of the wheel, and, admirable man, made no answer. Edderley and Miss Darley. com- ing from Woodbury Manor, had half a mile to walk across the park to a wicket in the fence and then a few hundred vards through the woods by a path that ended at the white gate.

We had not talked much on the jorthwich Fenstock had gone to a bhop- thie onl¥ one we saw open-——and bought biscuits, which we ate. Mrs. Edderley had dozed in her corner. Edderley had told me a little about the dinner- party. They were six at the table——Bardolph, Lord §Iscaster, Col. Darley, Cantlick, Mellon, the secretary, and Edderley, Miss Darley had been unable to dine: she suffered from a dreadful head- ache and had begged to be ex- cused. It had been understood that Lord Iscaster w°>"” make the an- nouncement of the engagement of his daughter to Bardolph, who would indicate the settlemenf he proposed to make upon her, and that this would be done soon after dinner. A little delay occurred. Mellon was called on the telephone just as the port was brought in. Bardolph, evidently on tenter- hooks about the nature of the message, sat impatiently awaiting his return. Edderley wished to avoid the conspicvrousness of ab- sence from the table at the same time, and sat till Melion came back. While Mellon and Bardolph, having prayed excuse, were talk- ing in undertones, he said some- thing about the he:t of the room, went to a dining-room. window. pulled back the curtain, and slipped through.

Then they had reached the car. I listened carefully to -Edder- ley’s story, and I felt sure, even then, that he was keeping some- thing back. But, whatever it was, his wife had no knowledge of it. Her brow was bright. Having taken and kept her resolution, she had the English girl’s clear mind on it, and no reservations. The rush to Liverpool was the result of an inspiration. They were bound for the last place in the world where anybody would dream of looking for a runaway couple, by the last route in the world that anybody would search.

He knew, as if by instinct, the way to avoid Manchester and the larger towns. He drove from the Mersey to the Humber in little more than two hours. My sister lived in a pleasant little house between Hull and Bev- erley. Her husband did something in Hull, I hardly knew what, but he made a lot of money at it. Something to do with trawlers. He was called William “on his birth certificate, but “‘Will’’ everywhere else——even on his own advertise- ments. dodged Hull, his name began to offend the land ctpe in many places: “Will Wili®y—-Patent Com- position.”’ No doubt this conveyed something to whom it concerned, but nothing to me. I knew him only slightly. He seemed a thor- - oughly sound fellow; I could only, hope his composition was as good. But, for the moment, I was chiefly- anxious to discovsr some way of circumventing his curiosity about an unannounced visit from me. If’ it had been any other day but Sat- urday, he would: not-have been- home to lunch... should probably just catch him. If I could get a word with my sister before I saw her husband, I could _ im your man. As we passed Goole and — As it was, . we y tu . and he never put in a word. When we pulled in at the gate- way of Wilby’s villa, his car stood at the door. The sound of our engine brought Wilby himself to the portico. “Why!’’ he exclaimed, as I got out, “‘Allison—good Lord, Mar- garet, where are you? Here's your brother.”’ So the improvisation had to begin at once. “How do, Wilby?” I said. “Sur- prised to see me blow in? But I hope you haven't finished lunch. How's Margaret?” “Splendid. No, haven't start- ed. You're just in time. What the mischief are you doing in the benighted North? Anyhow, glad fo see you, Allison. Go and wash. That your man?”’ “Yes—-Fenstock. Can you do anything for him?”’ “Rather. I'll ring for my own petrol waster, and he'll fit him up with something to eat. Now-—— come in. Where's Margaret? Never mind, come along and wash. I'm deuced hungry and I'm off to golf at 3.” My loquacious brother-in-law was giving me a little time for reflection: but I could see no way out of the muddle. Nor did a way open by chance. As luck had it, when I got to the dining room my sister was there with her hus- band and they had already been speculating together upon the purpose of my visit. * - > . CHAPTER IX. N the upshot, no elaborate im provisation proved necessary. I had no intimate acquaintance with Wilby. I knew him as the jolly and successful man who had rush- ed my sister off her feet and mar- ried her in a month. During that luncheon, I began to understand both why Wilby had made a for tune in his mysterious business and why my sister had been un- able to resist him. In the first place, Wilby’s blue eyes looked far beyond the topics with which his hurried tongue was dealing. In the next. he revealed himself a loyal and steadfast soul. I was hemming and hawing my way into some incomprehensible explanation of my presence when Wilby said: “You aren't flattering us much, Allison, are you? Get a poor opinion of the brains north of the Trent? I’ve noticed before that certain condescension in South- erners.”’ I protested. “Well, then,” said he, ‘‘out with it! You can’t think we don’t read the papers or that we can't add two and two. When did you leave Woodbury? Last night? And you've been driving all night to see your sister about an incoherent something or other? Poppycock, my dear Allison! Of course, you were started off by this business | of the shooting of Bardolph.. I suppose it’s no good to hope you shot him yourself and have come to us for sanctuary? If you have, I said when I read of the death of Bardolph, ‘Hurroo! _ Dam! good riddance.’ So out with . 3." s Wilby’s onslaught left me breathless. “Don’t be silly, Will,” my sister said. “Of course, Sam would have nothing to do with a person like that. Let him tell his tale his own way.” 2 — “He don’t seem to know a way, Wilby remarked. And Wilby was right. My im- provisation machinery seemed out of gear. I looked straight into Wilby’s eyes and determined that the best yarn to tell him would be the exact truth. So I an: “When left Woodbury last night I knew nothing about the death of Bardolph. But it is true that if I had not seen a~telegram in the paper three or four hours ago announcing his death I should not now be inflicting myself on you, Wilby.” -~And then I told them the whole story of the dinner party, the elopement, the departure of Ed- derley, and his wife from Liver- pool and the rush across Evyg- ‘ lahd to Hpll as soon as I learned what had’ happened at Woodbury Manor. |All the time I spoke Wilby’s blue.;eyes were fastened on me, I came to an end he said: “Have you got the paper you ~~ hen _ ee eee By R. A. J. WALLING the blurred paragraph in Stop Press space. passed it back. “What made you come to the conclusion that Bardolph ... No. I mean, why were you anxious to put up an alibi from Liverpool this morning, Allison?’’ I looked curiously at him be- fore answering. “I don’t think,”’ I said, slowly, “that I should be asked any ques- tions about that.”’ “You said.you didn’t know of Bardolph's death before you left Woodbury with your friend and lady. Assumption: that Bardolph was not then dead.”’ Ll had not included in my story anything about the long wait Fenstock and I had at Wood End or of the conversation between us, or of the thing that happened which, in the light of Bardolph's death, seemed so disquieting. “I don't know anything about that, and I can’t assume any- thing.”’’ said I. “But you've got a hypothesis,” said Wilby. “And it was that hypothesis which brought you racing across from Liverpool to Hull.”’ “Not a hypothesis, Wilby. Only the vague shadow of a possibility.” “Well,” said he, “‘put it at that. [I"ve got later news than you had the He read it and at Liverpool. Read this.”’ He passed me an early edition of an evening paper, and I read, in addition to the first ment: announce- “A later message states that Mr Bardolph was discovered seated at his dining table with a revolver in his hand. The news of the tragedy, coming immediately upon the steady slump in the Anglo- Iberian Corporation, of which Mr. Bardolph was the leading spirit, has had a sensational effect upon the stock of that company. The Stock Exchange is. of course closed today, but the rush away from Anglo-Iberians has become a panic The offices of the com- pany are not open, and no in formation can be obtained there.” “Good heavens!” | cried, “a suicide!’"’ “Looks like it,”’ said Wilby. I felt a happy revulsion from the strain of an idea which I had not ventured to formulate in words-——was, as I had told Wilby, hardly so much as a hypothesis Nevertheless, it had racked me. The thought that the happy eyes of Katherine Edderley might soon be darkened by a morta] sorrow had been unbearable. A “Anyhow,” said Wilby, break- ing the pause, “you have your alibi, my boy. Now, what's your program ?”’ “To get South again at once,” said I. “Cantlick will be wonder- ing. He was going back to Byfleei last night, but if this thing oc- curred while he was at Woodbury I expect he's been looking me up and wondering what has happened to me. By the way. could I tele- phone through to him?”’’ “Long-distance cal),”. said Wil- by; “but it’s Saturday afternoon. You might get through quickly.” I décided to. put the cali through to Byfleét first, and was lucky enough to be connected with Cant- lick’s house within 20 minutes. Mrs. Cantlick answered. I told her I was speaking from my sister’s place at Hull, aud wanted to explain to CNatlick that I had been called suddeniy to the North in case he should be looking for me at Eastbourne, She re- plied that Cantlick was not at home. He had returned by the train just after midnight, as he had arranged, but had wakened her to say that he was off first thing in the morning and might be away for a week or more. Where had he gone? I asked. He had gone to France on b+i- ness. I staggered a little. Cant- lick had said nothing to me of business in France. Indeed, he had talked about playing golf on the Saturday. Between the time when he left me and his return to Hyfleet—which was exac‘ly the time required te go to Har- dolph’s dinner party and return home-—this urgency of business in France had arisen. Mrs. Cantlick said something about the horrible discovery at Woodbury Manor, and then the line gat noisy.

I looked blankly at Wilby when I returned to the dining room. “What's up,” he asked. “Cantlick’s gone,” to France ing.” “That's two.”’ “Two what?’’ said I, “cone suddenly—this morn- sald Wilby. “Two of Bardolph’s dinmer kuests vamoosed.

[I exclaimed, wondering at the serious eyes and the straight face Wilby kept. “I'm not ragging, Allison. Something strange behind all this. See if I'm not right. I'll lay you 10 to 1 that if you ring up Col. Darley you'll find that there's something very strange indeed.” I could hardly believe Wilby was in earnest. But he left no doubt about it. “Where does Col. Darley ‘ive’ he asked. I told him the address in Jermyn street. He fished »sut a big telephone directory and found the exchange and number. “You'll get London in no time. Try.” Against my better judgement I let him put in the call. We waited no more than a few minutes. (Col. Darley’s man answered “Capt. Allison speaking.” I said. “Is Col. Darley at home?” “No, sir.”” was the anewer “Do you know’ where I can cet him?’"’ “No. sir Col. Darley left this morning and said he wold be away for a few days. I can take & message, but no letters are to be sent.”’ “Well,” said Wilby. as I rang off. “am I right?” This extraordinary collocation of facts dumfounded me [ col- lapsed into a chair between Wilby and my sister, asking feebly “What does it mean?” “It means that if I were a friend of Edderley and the colonel and Cantlick | should want to be on the spot and discover exactly what happened at Bardolph’s dinner party.”” he returned I said that was what I meant to do as seon as might be. but without Cantlick or Edderley what could I discover? And if 1 dis- covered anything, what could I[ do with it?” “You're a bit upset, Allison,” said Wilby. ‘‘Look here He checked himself and clanced at his wife. There seemed to be a kind of telepathic confidence be- tween them “Will,” said she, “Sam's in a puzzle. You're pretty good at puzzies. Why don't you go with him and hold his arms up for a day or two?" “Pearl among women!” he ex- claimed. “I was about to suggest it myself, but it’s a fairly coo) sug- gestion, all the same.”’ “Cool or not,” said I, eagerly, ‘will you come, Wilby?” “No, reason why not, Mrs, Wilby permitting, if you'll promise me the round of golf on Monday that I'm missing this.afternoon.” So it was that Fenstock had two passengers that afternoon. and that, reaching my cottage at mid- night. Wilby came straight isto the Bardolph affair. - . * > CHAPTER X. HAD sent from Goole, just after we started from Wilby's house, a telegram to my housekeeper tell- ing her that Fenstock and myself would be home late and that my brother-in-law would be with me. She was not to wait up, but to leave some sandwiches for us. To my surprise, Mrs. Batting “disobeyed the order. She had opened the door before I could get out my key. Something in her expression betrayed a special rea- son for disobedience. Therefore I said nothing. She led the way to the dining room, where a fire was burning and a supper was Jaid. Fenstock brought my bag and Wil- by’s into the passage. “Will you come for a moment, sir, to see that Mr. Wilby’s room is all right?" Mrs. Batting asked me. with significance. I told Wil- by to make himself comfortable in my long chair and followed her out: She went to my study, Continued on Page 15, Column 1.

There are many ob- stacles in the way, notably the mounting costs of education, the necessity for huge school plants, increasing enrollment and adequate teaching training.

Moreover, since life itself is gruel- Tenth Annual Conference Scheduled for ling and competitive, education should be made hard, No one disputes the above, nor the fact that nothing in this life can be attained except through hard work. The progressive schools, however, believe that much harder work is secured from pupils, once their interest in the things to be done is aroused, Pupils in such schools are allowed to develop their own interests, under capable guid- ance. Their motives and objectives are recognized; they are not di- rected to do their work merely be- cause some adult says it must be done. Comparisons of achieve- ments, ascertained by the official tests, demonstrate that children in such a regime work harder, with longer periods .of concentration, and with more satisfactory results than under the old system of hammer and tongs, whereby one is never sure that the thing to be dane, or learned.is: really done well _® really learned. Again, the proponents of «mass education assert that’ children should be disciplined according to adult-made standards. A _ great deal of that philosophy proceeds arning from those teachers and pare who look upon children as nece a nuisances, who wish to ha as little to do with understandir growing child nature as possible, and who would get through : the educational process with little trouble to themselves as pc sible. Again, no rea] progressive dis believes the theory of discipline, nor the necessity of making chil dren conform to those adult standards which have proved & be wise. But they believe that the highest form of discipline self-discipline, issuing from self respect, confidence in one’s Owt powers, and from a sane knowl edge of one’s place in the social order. Young people today wok askance at many of the criteria set by their adults when they see all about them evidences of greed, selfishness, temper, inefficiency and dissipation. The. so-called “freedom” al- lowed in the progressive schoois is not license to follow one’s im- pulses or pleasures. The freedom desired is nothing more than the same freedom every adult claims for himself to develop his powers} in an adaptable environment so| that he ean make his best ¢on-' tribution to society, and derive the | greatest satisfaction from his work. Another bugaboo of the public schools is the mad rush and ab- sorption to teach “skills.” They define skills in terms of manual training, bookkeeping, clerical work, mechanics—the whole busi- ness of vocational education. No one disputes the fact that chil- dren must find their job. But the progressive schools defines ‘‘skills’’ as a mental! adjustment, through the eye, and the hand, to all phases of one’s environment, Vocational adaptations come more readily when the mind and the senses are trained to see causes, understand logical processes, and visualize objectives. The main notion of the public school educator is that education must always be-conducted in a room and with a class; that set courses of study must be drafted, subjects taught piecemeah rec- ords kept, examinations held, and pupils advanced in groups. The new concept of education would define it in terms of actual, present experience, the subject matter drawn from life itself. 100d schools are results, not causes. Textbooks, apparatus, courses of study and teachers are mere tools, not ends in them- selves. The progressive principal and teacher will always be on the } alert to change, to adjust, to dis- : ecard, or to refashion all these tools whenever the best interests of the growing child demand it. Growing out of this conception of education and the school, such terms as “finishing the course,” ‘“achievements,”” “commence ment,”’ “promotion,” “schooling,” and “‘preparation for life,”” have come to be discarded, and modern educators now talk about est,”” “the learning process,” “creative growth,’’. “freedom in the environment,” “attitudes,” ‘present values,”’ “individual dchievements,”” “initiative,” cial-mindedness” and the like.

There was Only a light sea running the afternoon of our first.visit, but it provided us with plenty of thrills. For after Douglas and I had ridden in three or four times in the canoes we got up enough courage to attempt it with surf boards. It requires a lot of practice to ride a surf board like the natives at Waikiki Beach. It is not only a trick to keep one’s balance on the narrow plank as it rises on the top of the wave but to get into an upright position takes acrobatic ability. When a big sea is running only the most expert of surf riders attempt it. Fortunately the waves were not particularly high and, with Duke Kahanamoku as my instructor, I went out to the reef with a surf board. With his aid I managed to gain my feet on the little strip of planking, and I was so proud as I balanced myself on the crest of the wave that I shout- ed to Douglas, who was riding his board nearby, to watch me. But my triumph was short lived. The words were hardly out of my mouth when I fell off into the sea, and if it had not been for Duke Kahanamoku some one would have had to come to my rescue. A sec- ond and even a third attempt met with the same results, but at least I was able to stand up long enough to get the thrill of the sport.

To “correct” the dif- ference in time a full 24 hours is added when this point is crossed coming east—and the same num- ber of hours “dropped on west- ward voyages. So every one who crosses the Pacific either gains or loses a day. But it is quite’ rare for a big.liner to cross the 180th meridian on December 25, thus iving every one on board two hristmas Days in one week. It was a strange Christmas cele- bration our party sat down to in. one of the private dining rooms on the Asama Maru. To be sure, there was a Christmas tree which Edward Benson had thoughtfully put on board at Yokohama. And there was a Christmas menu with roast turkey and cranberry sauce and even pumpkin pie. But it was a Christmas without presents.

THE BOOKS | By ELISABETH E, POE. NE of the objects of the O (,eorge Washington bicen- tennial commission is to bring about the publication of a “definitive’’ edition of the writ- ings of the Father of His Country. No mention is made of the publica- tion of a truly authenticated life of Washington in connection with that auspicious event. Yet there is a man .sitting on the commis- sion, former President Coolidge, who has the ability if he would put everything else aside at least to direct the writing of such a book, even if he did not do all the actual work on it. For the writing of such an epoch-making life of Washington the time is in- deed short. As a matter of fact it should have been begun when the commission was first ap- pointed The first requirement for such @ historic volume or volumes would be to give us a flesh and blood Washington without the adornments of various fictions, which have persisted through the years. And, certainly. without the vicious interpretations given by gome of his self-appointed bio- graphers in recent years on mat- ters of which they can know noth- ing. The biographer the happy medium and depict the Mmran as he was will be assured of a large in the next few years. The lofty spirit of Washington, his unselfish devotion to his coun- try and his genius in using power for the good of others. never for himself placed him among the world’s great men. From that eminence his character has ac- Quired a status of half god, or mighty hero that. to the average person, makes him more than a Mortal! In this exaltation much of the humen side of the man has been sacrificed to portray his god- like estate The world awaits the Washington biography that will ree to the man and the who can strike Sa le have it is in such a spirit Philip Dutton Hurn and Wa- Lewis Root have written revelations, “The Truth About Wagener’ (Frederick A. Stokes & New York). The book is based on the Burrell col- lection of Wagnerian manuscripts recently brought to public notice after the death of Mrs. Burrell. The love affairs of Wagner are described in detail. Ht is shown that Wagner was not unhappy in his first marriage with Minna Pla- ner——to the extent that had been believed, at least. The impres- Sion had been previously that not until his union with Cosima von Bulow did the inspiration come for his great work. The story of how Mrs. Willoughby Burrell, an English woman, whose admiration for Wagner was overwhelming. secured the new Wagner material is in itself most romantic. For More than 30 years after her death the priceless collection was hidden in a deposit vault. Many of the musical relics in the Collection have great value as well. Among tBese are Wagner's first complete opera, “Die Feen.” and there are many literary manu- gcripts in the tion as well. It is certain that the book will arouse much controversy in the world of music about this idol of lovers of grand opera at its best. President Hoover has ri- val Nimrods in the who Will match him in a fishing yarn any day the tariff has been dis- posed of and the President is ina mood to discuss baits, and Pods rather than schedules and Fates. A senatorial pen has re- gently put his piscatorial reactions On paper in a book entitled “My Friend the Black Bass,” by Harry Hawes (Frederick A. Stokes, New York) Senator Hawes. the “Show Me” and has an enviable World War Fecord, tells his story with the ar- dor of a life-long fisherman. He has chosen the bass as the sub- ject of his book because the aver- age American is well acquainted with this wily representative of the finny kingdom. Senator Hawes writes in the unadorned language of a man who has’a story to tell and so need not draw upon his imagiua- tion for frills or ornamentation ot any sort whatever. Inci- dentally, his book is a very good ‘anual on fishing, and he disi- ‘ses the whole subject of black + with the thoroughness which distinguished his official His first chapter is de- » a description of the black detail.

A story of the anticlimax of the great war is vividly told in tke “Orphans of Mars,” by Joanna Cannan (The Bobbs-Merril Co.,, Indianapolis). There is a ring cf truth about tht» story which may apply to many a man who faced the war's aftermath. It is a graphic story of pride and heroic sacrifice and of the needy striv- ing against circumstances’ to make a living. It is a story of the educated civilian at the front who did his bit without questioning anything, fighting for his country. It is the story of the triumphal return to find that while he was away to defend his country, others hsd grown fat through the asking. The hero of this book is not a demigod, nor did he capture nests full 6f Germans. He lived and erred ahd conquered just as any other ordinary. vulnerable mortal capable of muddled suffer- ing, infinite miscalculation, trus* and lonely love would do. This hero was so heroic that his studies of Blaekstone could wait while he answered the necessity of the moment peddling vacuum cleaners. There is real drama in the treatment of the thread of ro- mance and disillusionment which runs through this book, the stery of a man*« wife and that man’s trusted friends. Miss Cannan has a convincing style of writing, a faculty of pay- ing attention to details without emphasizing them. High adventure’ and romance are teeming with excitement in the rushing story of Sir Heury Morgan, the famous English buc- caneer, in “With Morgan on the Main,”” by C. M. Bennett (BKB. P. Dutton & Co., Inc... New York) Mr. Bennett has justified the faith of his readers in presenting another book ringing with author- ity on pirates and buccaneers. Linked with exploits of the Sir Henry who sailed the Spanish Main and plundered the colonies of Spain and the West Indies is a story of buried treasure, of * course. This seafaring adventurer was courageous enough to win the ad- miration of his readers and when put to the test justified Ahe confi- dence placed in him.

With great simplicity this master writer and artist- naturalist has discussed the ways and habits of birds through the seasons, illustrating his text very fully with woodcuts. He points out that birds have attracted the notice and interest of mankind from the _ earliest times. Those .who are authori- ties on such subjects state that since Bewick died in 1828, there have been no woodeuts of birds produced which are fit. to com- pare for skill and faithfulness to the work of Mr. Daglish. _ He catches the elusive spirit of the living bird and portrays with subtle excellence the background which suceeeds in suggesting close _relation between the bird and its haunt and forming at the same time a perfect decorative setting. Those- of us who know our Washington may think that there may be more truth than ficrion in “Secret Envoy,” by Maude Parker (the Bobbs-Merril Co.). This inside novel of the lobbyimg situation in Washington which does not end in the Hall of Con- gress at all, but is carried on with dinners and luncheons and invitations and chatty conversa- tions as pawns on ¥ lobby chess board, may be a little overdrawn, Certainly some of the situations described strike a familiar chord in the minds of those wilo can see behind the scenes. There is something very life-like about the young girl who knows every one and is invited about, and enter- tains, and -yet worries about who is.to pay the bills. There is something truthful about the idea that Wall street keeps an eagle eye on every society event in Washington. Mere casual remarks dropped in what the speaker may think in- attentive ears, might. be later cabled or telephoned or wired and cause activity in the national and international market or political forums. Of course, there is romance and intrigue, and the secret envoy finds herself confronted with the problem of betraying her employ- ers or the State Department ~at- tache with whom. she is in love. Because she is really a fine girl and has lived m Washington all her life and has a real idea of eth- ics, no matter how far she might have strayed for a time, she adopts the honorable course with- out counting the cost.

But as there was no Pullman on the train he gave up the idea. It was not the discomfort of riding in a day coach that deterréd him. It was the fact that he could do no writing on the trip. -It was his custom when going to and fro between New York and Phila- delphia to reserve two Pullman chairs. On one he would spread his papers and books and, sitting on the other, would get through much work, But the most characteristic story about Mr. Wanamaker teld by Joseph H. Appel (in “The Businéss Biography of John Wana- maker’’), has to do with the opeén- ing of his first store in Philadel- phia in April, 1861. The new firm took in $24.67 on the opening day cuffs and neckties; Wanamaker put-67 cents in the cash drawer to make change the next day and took the $24 to the Public Ledger, where he paid for an advertisement for the new store! o:- 2 ra @ A near neighbor and friend of the former Empress Eugenie at Farnborough Hill—her Kentish estate in- England—was Ethel Smythe, noted composer, who of- ten dimed at the royal table. It was Miss Smythe’s custom to bi- cycle over from her cottage, take up a good strategic point behind some bushes when once in the grounds of Farnborough Hill and proceed to change inte evening clothes after which she would walk to the front door and ring the bell. This went on for some months, deciares the Duchess of Sermoneta (in her reminiscences “Things Past’), when the empress got to hear of it and was*rather upset, so in the future a carriage was sent for her guest. . > « . . “ Once Miss Smythe turned up rather late for dinner and the em- press was already in the drawing room. This was contrary to Farn- borough etiquette which demand- ed that all guests should be as- sembled in the drawing room be- fore the empress made her appear- ance. “Ethel her advanced toward _ hostess, running and curtesying at the same time, the result being a series of kangaroo leaps,” chuck- les the duchess. “‘A minute later my aunt (the empress) beckoned to me and whispered: “*Accompany Miss Smythe and help to arrange her dress a little.’ ”’ > > > > Whereupon the duchess obeyed and a certain amount of hitching up went on—outside the drawing room, “My dear,” explained the great still breathless and wriggling, “I'll tell you what's the matter.

She was merely inquiring whether he wished to take some “grub” with him. He did, and was given two large sandwiches wrapped for the pocket. ° o . That is a new ohe on me.

A lawyer owed a wealthy man $2.50 and, since he would not pay up, the angry creditor de- cided to sue for the amount.

Hn is an illustrious illustra- tion of a man of brains and character,“ running true to *- form from childhood till old age. With a good father and mother, carefully brought up in the best principles at home, he entered Yale from a high school in Cin- cinnati, and was graduated in 4878 second in. his college class. He studied law, and immediately entered politics, which never cor- rupted him because his integrity could not take corruption: From prosecating attorney he rose to be judge of-the , Sapersor Court in Ohio, Solicitor General of the U. S., United States circuit judge, combining his duties with those of dean of the law department of the ' University of Cincinnati. the first civil governor of the Philippines; ‘showing admirable tact in dealing with the nativés, and also with Pope Leo XIII in ~/ Rome in connection with the pur- chase of lands in the islands from religious orders. He twice de- -cline@ an appointment as asso- Clate justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S:—a position which he desired above all others —hbecause he felt that his duty lay in the islands. He was Secretary of War in the Cabinet of President Roosevelt, and adjusted a difficult matter in Cuba, and went on a mission to Panama. Peace and good wilf followed his efforts every where. From 1909 to 1913 he was 44K 7O heat?” Helen’s shivering dismay at the glacial radiator. “What d’you expéct in the coun- try?” a drowsy grow! from the bed: “Furnace won't come to life before noon.” “Dear, it’s almost we're to make that seven. if seven-fifty “Pitch me that robe,” Warren rolled out, grotesque iu his host's too-short pajamas. ‘Why in blazes didn’t we go home last night?’ “Why, I wanted to!” tremul- ously buckling her pumps. “But you “Now don’t start on that!"’ a guilt-shedding stretch. “Golly, it’s cold!

While Taft was present; and with a crowd of people in the room, he said emphatically, “Root is worth all the rest of my cabinet put to- gether!" and Mr. Taft added that it was a good choice. The Demo- crats could never use a campaign book against Roosevelt, said Mr. Taft, because he had made so many injudicious utterances they did not know where to begin: and if they quoted some particularly damaging remark, the people said delightedly, ‘“Ian’t that just like Teddy ?”’ I was standing directly beside Roosevelt and Taft when they met for the first time after they had quarreled. It was at the funeral of Prof. Thomas R. Louns- bury at New Haven. They were both honorary bearers. I was one of the active bearers. and [I was standing in the vestibule of the chapel, beside the coffin. Roose- velt came. up .an one side, and the other. The little gxroup present wondered what would happen, but I knew. Mr. Taft came straight forward, ex- tended his hand, and said, ““How do you do, Theodore?"" Roosevelt made no response, but shook hands mechanically. I ought to add that finally. a short time before Roosevelt died, Mr. Taft sent him an affectionate greeting in the hospital. This cheerful message broucht from Roosevelt an immediate and warm-hearted response. He again called Taft by his old familiar name “Will,”’ and expressed the highest afpreciation for ‘the spirit of his old friend. So it is pleas- ant to remember that at the last the two men were completely reconciled. Mr. Taft opposed the adoption of the eighteenth amendment, feeling it was contrary to the spirit of the Constitution: after it was adopted, he made many speeches in its support, believing it wae then part of the supreme law of the land; and, in the same way, he” opposed the ele‘tion of Wilson, but after his election gave him his loyal support as the Chief Magistrate of his country After his term as President was over, he came to Yale as professor of law in the college. I was pres- ent when he attended his first faculty meeting. Dean Jones wel- comed him as one comine from a young country to an old college. Then we found there was no chair in the room that would hold him. We all stood while a messenger went below and got the enormous chaig of Policeman Donnelly, a man who weighed nearly 2360 pounds. The back of this «pecial chair was adorned with horns that bore a striking resemblance to those of a bull moore, and no one enjoyed the joke more than Mr. Taft.

We would all like to have houses built so that the arrange- ment of the kitchen and its rela- tion to the rest of the house suited our particulax way of working and ideas of convenience. Many of us, however, must get along with houses designed without much re- gard:to step saving. In owned homes the position of some of the larger kitchen equipment, and even of plumbing and lighting fix- tures, can be changed: but in rented houses, very tittle, appar- ently, can be done to reduce the walking necessary+ in a badly planned kitchen. A medium-seized wheeled tray is a very practical aid in such cases. In homes where the din- ing room and kitchen do not con- nect directly or where the work centers are not arranged in the best order, it will save many steps. It can be used as a movable work table in the kitchen. Instead of carrying a few dishes and other articles at a time from one part of the kitchen to another, or from the kitchen to the dining room and back again, the wheeled tray can be loaded and pushed from one room to the other in one trip. It is especially helpful in a large family where many dishes must be handled. A simple type of wheeled tray can be made at home by any man or boy handy with tools. Such a tray might be stained and waxed, or finished with enamel] paint so it can be easily washed. Al wheeled trays are equipped with a shelf at axle height which doubles the -available surface. Noiseless swivel casters are gen- erally used so the tray will move in any direction easily. The di- mension of the tray should be such that it will pass readily through doorways and between various pieces of furniture in a room. A good size for the top-is 16 by 26 inches. The wheeled tray or “tea wagon” or “tea cart” as it is variously called, is also a great help in serving afternoon tea, Sun- day suppers in the living room, or party refreshments. The one shown in the illustration was photographed by the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture in a farm home in Massachusetts. It is in- tended to be brought into the hiv- ing room as well as to serve a strictly -utilitarian purpose © be- tween kitchen and dining room. It is made of wicker, with a mov- able glass tray for a top. Im the stores one often finds tea wagons or wheeled trays of finely finished wood, and with drop sides which can be raised to extend the serv- ing surface. If t wheeled tray is set near the hostess or homemaker at the dinner table it can be used in place of a serving table or buffet. Vegetable dishes, extra plates and silver, and other accessories to the meal can be put on it to make more room. on the dining table. A course can be changed without the homemaker's leaving the table, if the soiled dishes are stacked on the shelf of the tea wagon. P In the sick room, too, the wheeled tray has many uses as a , bedside table. . ~ Foods to Supply Vitamin (U. 8S. Department of Agriculture.)

If the homemaker wants to give her fam- ily a diet containing enough of all of the vitamins, she must know something about the function of each, and the foods likely to sup- ply it in sufficient amount. She can then sée that these foods are included in her menus. Vitamin A is essential for growth, well-being at all ages, and successful reproduction. A defi- ciency of this vitamin leads to the weakening of the bady tissues, and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection. If laboratory animals are given a diet lacking in vitamin A, they develop infec- ~ tions of the eye and other parts of the body. It is thought that similar inflammatory and infective processes ig the human body oc- cur when there is a deficiency of vitamin A. Fortunately the body. has the power of storing this vitamin to a considerable extent for future needs. An abundant supply of it in early life undoubtedly safe- guards the body against later in- fection as well as provides for present requirements. This does not mean, however, that the need for vitamin A is confined to the young. Nursing mothers, especi- ally, should have food containing vitamin A in abundance. Milk and datry products, eggs, liver and leafy vegetables are among the richest sources of vita- min A. Green or yellow vegetables are much richer in it than the cor- responding white varieties, Thus green lettuce is much richer than white, green asparagus than bleached, and yellow than white corn. The Bureau of. Home Ecop- omics gives these. foods as good sources of vitamin A: Avocados, bananas, string beans, butter, car- rots, cheese, codliver oil, .dried cowpeas, cream, dandelion and other greens, eggs, lentils, lettuce, liver, milk, peas, sweet potatoes, spinach, squash and tomatoes. - Some common and easily bidaluabie food ® > , ‘7 te #* is¢ sources of Vitamin “A.” the soda % teaspoonful powdered thyme. 1 tablespoen. milk. 1 teaspoonful salt. % teaspoonful pepper. 1-3 teaspoonful soda, 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls chopped onion.

With ‘the building of the new Shakespeareaa Library, the Congressional Library, a new interest will be aroused in the study of Shakespear. Indeed, that interest is even now being rea- lized.

From Shakespeare to min- strel@y is not such a long jump as many would believe, since there Was at least some sign of ministrelsy in certain Shakespear- ean plays. However, there is a great chasm between the two; but Washington presents all phases of dramatics in its amateur halle. Hence, ministrelsy has_a place on the program. The Jewish. Community Center; once in a while, gets out the burnt cork and puts on a raztle dase minstrel show. On the other end of the line, the Jewish Community Center produces what ig undoubt- edly one of the finest plays ever written, “The Dybbuk,”’ a play,in four acts by S. Ansky.

Just for the fun of 4t, a check- up was attempted on the dramatic groups; to ascertain, if possible, the number working in Washing- ton, There is, of course, no ac- curate maftiner of making this survey—and yet it is possible to single out 200 organizations here devoted to the study and presen‘a- tiof of plays. Rouben Mamioéulin, directot of the New York Theatre Guild, was _ apprised of this fact: “Two hundred amateur theatri- cal groups in Washington,” he gasped, “Is it, possible?’’ “Not only possible,” totd, “buf @ fact.’ “It is comparable only to the situation in New York,” he said. “There are 90 legitimate theaters in New York. Naturally. there are not enough good plays to keep these theaters going all the time.” If by, that Mr. Mamoulin meant there ‘are too many anrateur he was » groups in Waghington:. that.there might easily be » grouping of the groups, he has fn mind just what Guild hopés to accomplish during the As the sitpatfon stands, nearly every church in Washington has a dramatic group attached to the Some of these are splen- did organizations.

Verdict, suicide during temporary insanity. Here's the report. The coroner doesn’t seem and had got a ._ to have been specially inquisitive, Allison. I should have wanted. to know a lot more.” He gave me the paper. It was a curious feature of the Bardolph affair that the circum-, stances of, Bardolph's death seemed to interest people less— certainly it interested the news- papers less—-than the effect it produced in the stock markets. It might almost have been thought that Bardolph took his life specifi- eally to bring ruin upén the specu- lators in his financial concerns. The inquest had been held at Woodbury Manor without a jury. The eoroner had called Arnold Mellon to identify the body of his chief and te tell the story of tHe dinner party. He had called also the footman, one Evans, who found, Bardolph dead at the din- ing table with a revolver in his hand,-and the police officer who telephened for ty Mellon, and he had forthwith said that the facts were very clear and en- tered his yerdict. The narrative Mellon gave of the dinner. party was a bald alf- fair: No doubt it satisfied people of the sur- . wen, circumstances.

The scHools, from the sixth and sev- enth grades through the junior high and regular high schools, have dramatic societies. So, too, the universities—and there are at least ten or twelve of these uni- versity units that stand on a par with the best.amateur gr6ups in the Nation.. Not only are the students of the high schools and universities interested in the drama to the extent that they have their own acting organizations, but the graduates in many instances are ‘members of dramatic societies. Tihrus the graduates of most of the high schools, and of three or four of the universities bere, put: on plays from time to time. Aside from these there are vari- ous private organizations in the city, such as the Columbia Play- ers—the outfit that won the city- wide play contest this year in the Community Drama Guild tourna- ment. The play that won the laurels was called “When the Ship Goes Down,” a play manned by an entire male cast. It was written by Harry McGuire and directed by Aurora M. Poston. Those im the cast: Robert D. Chase, who also won honore as the best individual actor in the tournament; Robert M. Barnett, H. R. Baukhage, A. E. Dubber, jr., George Odell, Paul Alexander, Joe Bourne, FE. D. Reed and Rich- ard Kruezburg.

Melign himself asswered my ring, said he would te very glad to come and, indeed, arrived not long after I had finished break- fast. He seemed surprised and none too well pleased to find an- other visitor with me, but greet- ed Wilby with, grave courtesy when I introduced him as my brother-in-law. I explained ecircumstantially that I had been suddenly called to the North on Friday night by a message from my sister at Hull. and that Wilby had come back with me for @ week-end. and hoped to get a game on the Mon- day: I wondered whether Mellon would be able to oblige him. He shook his head. “Out of the question,”’ he said “Far too busy—and the funeral of Mr. Bardeoiph will be tomor- row afternoon.” Se we naturally settled down to the subject of Bardolph. “I waa telligg Wilby.” said I, “how the dinner party on Friday night was expected to be a rather ceremenial oceasion.

I di- rected the talk back to Bardolph and his dinner party. “I described what happened at — the inquest yesterday,” said Mel- jon, dryly. “There's a report in the Obsérver.

It tries to dispel the notion that education is bounded by four walls and a set period of time which we have galled “schooling.” It tries to effect a sane, practital reform of attitude toward children and life in all types of the learn- ine process, whether in the kin- dergarten or the college.

Well, spring arrived after ali, al- though it seemed as if she must have had winter as bef escort, So cold was . it on Fridag, March 21, when the fair Lady stepped through the gate of 1930 and made her bow to the world. en if there were snow flakes in her Bouquet, yet it contained Easter lilies, cherry blossoms and Mayflowers as wenll. On the White Hause lawns the other day I noticed some brave little crocuses pushing up their tiny heads through the greensward as if to shout “Spring is here! Spring is heret” I knew it was, too. when I saw them, although I shivered with the cold as I stood and watched them. For the flowers rarely make a mistake tn the season.

The men were pilan- ning to rob a very rich house that was on the isiand. Very stealthily the giris got up-and spread the alarm.

EDITOR, JUNIOR POST. The Treasury Department. The Treasury Department had the distinction of being the only Govern- ment department ready for occupancy in 1800. However, it was not de- clared a Government department un- til Alexander Hamilton became Secre- tary. At the resignation of Hamilton. the father of the United States Treasury, the position of Secretary was given to Oliver Wolcott, who moved the de- partment and 69 -mployes to the new building in the new Federal City in 1800. This bullding was planned by George Hadfield, and was located where the south front of the Treasury now stands. With the coming of the British the Treasury was burmed and many val- uable documents were lost.

One of the largest and most inter- esting mohuments ever to be erected by any nation of the world to com- memorate its founding and extension is that now proposed to be carved upon the face of Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills of South Dekota. This massive work is to be carved by the noted sculptor, Gutzon Borglum who did some of the work upon Stone Mountain memorial near Atlanta, Ga.. which is also a masterpiece of carving depicting the important scenes during the Civil War One of the outstanding features of the Mcunt Rushmore memorial will be that of the figures of four Presi- dents of the United States. namely George Washington. Thomas Jeffer- s0n, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, each of whom represented a distinct period or stage through which our country passed during its history The solid stone face of this moun’ tain is about 1,000 feet high and the figures of the four Presidents are tc be cut 230 feet deep, the heads alone to be 60 feet from chin to crown while the entire figures will reach a total height of 420 feet. As compared with some of the noted works of an- cient sculpture, the Sphinx of Egypt is only 60 feet high and the Collosos of Rhodes was 109 feet high Another very interesting feature of this huge monument is the fact that former President Coolidge is to write a brief 500-word history of the out- standing events of our history, which will be carved upon a tablet 80 feet wide and 120 feet long, deep enough that unless an eartliquake or other upheaval occurs it may be readable for a period of 1.000.000 years The huge undertaking is to be financed by State of South Dakota WHo am If “= and also by a $250,000 appropria- tion from the Federal Government, to be matched by an equal amount by private subscription, while the State government has agreed to build a fine stenic Mighway into the heart of the Black Hilis. It is estimated that the entire coast of the complet- ed project will be approximately $1.000.000 and it will require six years to complete the work. although it is hoped to have a portion of Mr Coolidge'’s history completed for dedi- cation en July 4, of this year. The site was chosen because it is near thé center of the North Ameri- can continent and also becatise the stone in the mountain lis very hard and firm and it is said by geologiste that it corrodes only about one inch in 100,000: years. The base of the mountain is so broad that it carries the heat of the earth close to the top and thus quickly melts the _ Snows. making it possible to see the huge figures for many miles away. When completed, this magnificent monument will undoubtedly rank among the leading wonders of the modern’ world, a permanent record of achievement to be read by untold hundreds of gererations yet unborn. and will become the mecca of mil- lions of visitors from all parts of the world TATE TALMAGE HACKNEY.

April has played a very curious part in American history for many important events have happened in that month. Nearly every war in whieh the country has been tnvolved has begun in this month—the. Revo- lutionary War, thé Mexican War, the War of Secession, the Spanish-Amer- ican War, and the War of the Na- tions. This last war did not begin in that month, but in April the United States entered it. To mame the events in order we must go back to April 4, 1609. when Henry Hudson started on his ‘third eventful voyage. On that voyage he came to North Amierica and sailed 100 miles up 4 river between Canada and the United States, died. The govérnor had a few of the nee iH lesex village and farm.” and so when the British made their attack, the patriots were ready and waiting and soon put the soldiers of England toe rout. After the war the Americans de- cided that as they were now free, they meeded a new government. Since George Wash had been such «a army, colonies said that, in their opinion made t..

Do you finish what you start? That is @ very important question, for good intentions which are never resolved into deeds have been the ruination of many potential great men and women. Do you plan to accomplish some- thing in the morning, start on it half- heartedly, them weary of it and put it away until, “tomorrow?” That prin- ciple of putting off until tomorrow the things which could as easliy be done today will not get you far. So the Junior Editor wants the pages of the Enighthood of Youth te write on their reminder cards this query, “Did I put off unti) tomorrow — that I could have finished In discussing that rule there is & story in point about a boy at one of the local high schools. This boy had developed the very bad habit of procrastination. I know that is a long word. It is derived from the Latin and means to “put of till another day or time, or from dag to day.” Well, this lad developed the idle habit of not writing out his his- tory notes. He just Kept putting them of from day to day and his note book on history was as Dilank as his ideas of the questions asked in the class each day. Because he was really a clever jad he managed to “cram” in time to pass the February tests. Then his teacher asked that the bistory note books be turned in. Why. what an excitement that caused among the boys and girls of the class who had not kept up their books. They knew failure awaited them if they could not turn In those books properly written up. The boy of whom we are writing went home and confeseed his dilemma to his mother. She was wise in her generation and insisted that he stay up until late to bring his book up to date. The boy protested. but his mother said, simply. “This is to cure you of the dreadful habit of putting of the things you should bave done today until tomorrow.” To make a long story short. he had to work many hours to finish the book. It 4 safe to predict that one boy will never neglect filling his note book with items each day. Out of that lesson the “boy learne ed the valuable truth to “put a what you undertake.” iI5 this develop power. fons est velopse Mmterest. concen- tration, perseverance and will power and it spells sticcess ‘in the long run, as well.

PAGE 6 /- THE JUNIOR POST SECTION _ MARCH 30, 1930, Poet Is Hailed As Knight for Fine Writings Alfred Lotd Si Laureate of England, Is Acelaimed. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, poet iau- reate of Great Britain, was in many ways as much of a Knight as those he loved so to write about in Dis “Idyis of the King.” While he did not go on quests on prancing white chargers he did seek beauty and truth and kept many a tryst with his art to make the world better, men and women happy and to lead th way to high ideals and thoughts In his private life aa well as Nis poetical one Tennyson was a knigatly person. During his jong life he put many stones in his castle of honor and fine work. Of course Tennyson found 74) dark knights In his way through the mystic forest. But he met them face to face and refused to allow them & pull his poetry and thoughts’ down from the high plame necessary for him to pess through the narrow gate to the golden castie of Heart's Dr- sire Tennyson was only a lad when he started his climb to the marvelous castie of perfect poetry It stands on the pinnacle of a high mountain only reached by those who can meet the dragons of disappointment ane false ideals and conquer them He learned much about books anc poetry and the beauty of expression from his father who was &@ man oO’ literary tastes He listened to th poems written by his elder brothe when he was a timy boy and sm began to try to write poems him poems written by Tennyson lad of sixteen. in a volume he lished with his prother Charles Poems of Two Brothers” are the object of many quests of the knichts of the literary world of to- day The quest for this golden treasure, one of these books. of which there are omly a few in the world. have taken modern knizhits of the beautiful throughout many lands to attempt to secure a copy of this book worth its wetght in rare coid When Tennysofi was only 18 years old. he went on a most successful quest and won the medal for a poem from Cambridce University thus opening the golden gate of success There was nothing boastful or fiambovant about this knight of the world of poetry. He worked hard and followed the straight and true path as he saw it and won the battle of fame in open. honorable battie. Ferly in his life. Tennyson slew the dragon of idleness which Ilav across his path as it does across the path of many of us In order to write his ooetry with the rine of truth and authority he had to know bis subject and he stucieda with all his micht.

Good cinnamon should be fine, thin, brittle and of a yellowish brown color, with a sweet aromatic taste. The finest qualities should not be thicker than brown paper. In its natural state, the tree grows to a height of from 20 to 30 feet, with a trunk varying from 12 to 18 inches in djameter, the external bark being thick, rough and ash color, while the inner bark is reddish. In cultivation, the trees are usually kept at heights, not exceeding 10 feet, as it is from the young wood and the fresh branches that the best quality comes. The bark is stripped off by running a knife along the branches on both sides, and then eradually loosening it. It is then placed in a cool place. and after undergoing a kind of fermentation, which allows the epidermis to be easily scraped off, it is laid out in the sun to get thoroughly dried, when it assumes the quill-like appearance. The proc- ~g Red petvestiog is carried on twice a ‘year, in e or July, again inh November of December," s .. == What Is Meant by “Pre” Before Words Explained “Pre,” in front of any word means “before.” Thus “prehistoric” means before written history records were kept. You have often heard the word “prewar;"” that means before the last war, which was the World War. Those two words, I think, are as mmon as any, but you could put the prefix “pre” before almost any word. You can even say, “preair- plane,” meaning before airplanes were invented, if you wished. Whiskers Keep Cat Out of Dire Trouble Do you know that a cat’s whiskers are one of the most important things of ite life? If a full grown cat should lose his whiskers he would be in serious trouble. The whiskers are used as feelers. When a eat starts through a hole, if the whiskers ob- ject he will turn back. When he has no whiskers, he will probably start into a hole too smal) for him and become stuck If he can not get out, he will starve unless found in time.

Snakes are usually pictured as ver) somber creatures, plotting from birth the destruction of the human race as did one long ago, but the observa- tions of Gertrude A. Heath, of Hay- den, Ariz., may go far to dispel the long existing stereotype. One day in fall she and her brother discovered a beautifully marked green, white and back striped snake basking on a board in the sun. Hardly had it been found than another of the same spe- cles appeared, and pounced on the first. The two rolled and tumbled around like a pair of puppies playing-— first one tried to tie knots about the other, then they would become an entwined ball, then they would cease the struggle and stretch out on the board in the sunlight. This inaction would disappear in a flash and, again- , the battle would be on until time for another rest.

Ow:s work during the time that the farmer sleeps Even when ae is up and dc- ing he can not Ke@p off these .un- « numbered enemies. God has provided ‘ny way’ and we must ‘not work against that way by Killing, because the birds teke a little of value at the same time that they take the other or be- cause we. do mot | understand thtts calls. Many insects and small animals depend upon the darkness for safety and come out only at night or twi- light. These would become so numer- ous that they could not be checked and would do untold damage if there were not certain birds that can se* im the dark, and being par ‘ly olindedc by light must wait until night tc fmd their food. ‘ : Many insects fly during the dusk of _ evening, and this is the reason swal- lows and swifts often fiy tate. Atver these have gone to rest the night hawk and whippoorwil!l come out and the bat fites and helps swarm of insects. This is the time for these owls. They eat many beeties and insects of latger size. even cut- worms that do thelr bad work at might. They also eat many mice, young rats, moles and other smal! . animals. We need not think that while we are sleeping at night all na- lessen tne . so little noise. The owls are true night birds. The light dazzles them, but they can see clearly in twilight and dusk and moonlight nights. Their hearing is?very sharp. Their wing feathers are very soft and they can move through the air without the noise that sO many day-flying birds make They can steal up to their prey and catch it without disturbing the quiet of the night. The wodcock is @ night feeder. too. but it.has not the soft wimg feathers. It does not need them.
