By WILLIAM ULLMAN. _ Washington’s rotary left turn has been formally voted out. Ite doom now becomes merely a matter of routine action on the part of the District Commissioners. It came to light yesterday that, despite rumblings of bitter disagree- ment among its members, the sub- committee on operating regulations committee on traffic will recommend reversion to of the Commissioners’ the standard left turn. It is virtually a foregone conclu- sion that. the subcommittee vote of 4 to 1 against the rotary turn, with M. O.

Not to be outdone by mere tree- sitters and the likes, Washington's temperature has established a new all- time thermometer-climbing endurance record, and at a late hour. last night the mercury showéd no disposition to slide down. from its perch at the top of the tube. For the first time in the history of the Capital there have been six days within a single year when the temper- ature touched or passed 100 degrees, and four of the six were consecu- tive, all being within the past eight days. The previous record was in 1874, according. to Weather Forecaster Charles L. Mitchell, when the mercury touched 100 on two days in August and one in June, and hit 102 on a fourth day, also in June. _This-year six-of-the past eight days have seen temperatures of at least heat was at least 102 and on one oc- casion 106, when it established a new all-time altitude record last Sunday. 100. degrees and on four of them the The epidemic of high temperatures | began last Saturday, with a peak of 102, following through Sunday with its record 106,.to Monday when the apex was 103. On Tuesday the mercury just barely passed the 100- mark. Wednesday and Thursday were too cool to be counted in the en- durance contest, but on Friday the reading again was 100, while yester- day’s official temperature was 103. While Mr. Mitchell admitted the possibility of a thundershower which might chill the atmosphere slighty today, he held out only slight hope that it would rain at all and added that even if it does it will bring only temporary relief until the precipita- tion ev@porates. After soaring to 103 degrees at the Weather Bureau and 106 degrees on the thermograph in the Pennsylvania avenue kiosk, the temperature went into a tail spim at 4:15 o’clock yester- day afternoon and had slid back to 87 early in the evening.

Other Goods Studied. The United States recently estab- lished an embargo against Russian pulpwood, and Seymour Lowman, As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury in Charge of Customs, announced today that the department was studying the situation in regard to other Russian products, such as anthracite and Government action to excl:ide im- port of Russian pulpwood is based on a section of the tariff law which for- bids entrance of goods produced all or in part by. convict labor. A state- ment issued through the Amtorg Trading Corporation today asserted that there. was absolutely no convict or forced labor in the Russian man- ganese mines, that the workers were hired at wages regulated by agree- ments with trade unions, and that they were free to quit their jobs at any time. Charge of Dumping. The Association of American Pro- ducers of Manganese wrote Ghairman Hamilton Fish, jr., of the congres- sional committee yesterday charging that the Soviet was dumping Russian manganese here at such low prices that the home industry was being wrecked and that thousands of Amer- icans had already been thrown out ie Based on Safety. One obstacle, of course, to the pos- sibility of Mr. Eldridge making such a battle is Mr... Harland’s being on record as willing to take the recom- mendations of the Commissioners’ committee. If, however, Mr.- Eldridge carries his fight over the heads of other members of the subcommittee, anticipated that his argument will be based upon the relative safety of the two turns, since he has been a vigorous method on that ground since it was it Is defender of the rotary adopted here. Over a period of several years, the Traffic Office has stood flatly on the argument that nonuniformity with eafety was to be preférred to uni- formity with danger.

WIRE OPENING BRINGS FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS Message From North and South America Sent by Relatives of Victims. Naples, Italy, July 26 (A.P.).—King Victor Emmanuel concluded one of the most: sorrowful pilgrimages of his 30 years’ reign tonight. Across a zone of desolation reeking with the stench of the unburied, and scene of at least 2,143 deaths of Ital- ian subjects, the soldier-monarch journeyed, everywhere speaking words of comfort and hope to the awed survivors of the catastrophe. No pomp and circumstance attached to this royal visit, and but few flags were flown from the ruined buildings that on other occasions of royal visits were festively decorated. .The accustomed cheers for the _ king, though hearty and sincere, were mingled with tears of sorrow and suffering. Victims Sent From Zone. Patiently and intently the sovereign assembled first-hand data on the ex- tent of the disaster and. on the or- ganization of relief measures. ‘Me received the eres of the prefect, doctors, and sanitary direc- tors of how the huge problem of ex- tracting bodies from the debris and burying them was being met, and what measures were being taken to prevent epidemics and take care of the survivors.

Valuation Requested by Keech Move Before Public Utilities Commission Taken to Establish New Basis for Fixing Rates; Figures Obsolete, He Says. Revaluation of street car companies based on a physical inventory of their used and useful property was asked of the Public Utilities Commission yesterday by Richmond B. means people’s counsel. Revaluation was asked to estab- lish a new basis for fixing rates, in an effort to bring about a reduction in the 10 cent cash fare, with four tokens for 30 cents, recently granted by Justice Jennings Bailey, of the District Supreme Court. Radical changes have taken place in prices and equipment since the first and last physical inventory of the.car companies in 1914, Mr. Keech said in his petition to the commis- sion. Methods of operation and mainte- nance have changed, tracks and equip- ment have been abandoned, styles and types of cars and tracks and other equipment have been altered, and much equipment contained in the valuation figures of the companies have become obsolete, Mr. Keech said. Property carried in the valuation total of the companies includes “trackage, car barns, plants and equipment (street cars and buses), that have long since passed the dura- tion of their estimated lives” at the time they were put in service the people’s counsel charged. Deprecia- tion was computed on a basis which tically it has been wiped out through charges made for depreciation in past years. Allowance made in the past for “going concern” value and other in- tangible factors entering valuation must be. considered anew, Mr. Keech contended, because of the radical change which has occurred in the position of the car lines as monopo- lists of public transportation, The enormous increase in the num- ber of privately owned automobiles, the competition of motor busses and the increasingly potent competition of the 35-cent and cheaper taxicabs all affect the actual value of the com- panies, Mr. Keech said. The people’s counsel quoted Will- iam F. Ham, president of the Wash- ington Railway & Electric Co., the commission itself, and Justice Bailey in suppert of his contention that 4 valuation is necessary and would be justified and helpful. Although the commission took no formal action on the petition yester- day because of the absence of Maj. John C. Gotwals, engineer commis- sioner and member of the Utilities Commission, who was a guest at Pres- ident Hoover's camp on the Rapidan River, it is expected to act favorably in the next day or so. This will mean that the revalua- tion of the street car companies will get under way soon with the prelim- ' Contizived on Page 4, Column .3.. eee CAPITAL REALTY MAN WILL BE GRILLED TO TEST CAMPBELL ALIBI />. 4 Mrs. Ferguson Takes Texas Primary Lead Sterling Trails by 7,262 Votes for Governor; Sheppard Ahead. Dallas, Tex., July 25 (A.P.).—Texas Democrats today marched to the polls and cast what is probably a record primary vote, early gubernatorial re- turns, the race of most interest, in- dicating that the Hoover faction had forsaken their 1928 leader and that Mrs. Miriam A. “Ma” Ferguson, former governor, was much in the running. Returns from 174 of the State's 253 counties, including four complete, gave the following total vote for governor: Mrs. Ferguson, 44,779; Ross 8. Sterl- ing, 87,517; Clint C.

POLICE LAUNCH QUIZ IN DEATH OF NURSE Believe Girl Died as Result of infection After an Ille- “gal Operation. AUTOPSY WILL BE HELD Acting Coroner Joseph D. Rogers last night ordered a police investiga- tion into circumstances surrounding the death. in Georgetown University Hospital of Miss Catherine Davey, 23- year-old graduate nurse, of 63 Rhode Island avenue northwest. noon following a 48-hour stay in the hospital. Police believe she died as the result of infection following an alleged criminal operation. Detective Sergts. Howard Ogle and Oscar Mansfield were assigned to the case, and they began questioning friends of the dead girl. None was able to throw any light on the case. Dr. F. 8. Avery, of Massachusetts avenue near Sixteenth street north- west, advised police of the death of the. girl. He said that she was be- ing treated for blood poisoning when he took her to the hospital. An au- topsy will probably be held tomor- row at the morgue, though, because of the absence from the city of the acting coroner this could not be veri- fied. Miss Annie McClintock, roommate of the dead nurse, told police that Miss Davey graduated from Sibley Hospital two years ago. She also said that Miss Davey had given her the impression that she was to be oper- ated upon for appendicitis. Miss Mc- Clintock expressed great surprise when informed of Miss Davey’s death. Another acquaintance of the dead nurse, interviewed by police was Miss Kathryn Angerman, of New Hamp- shire avenue near T street northwest. She declared she knew nothing of any illegal operation, but recalled that Miss Davey had requested her not to visit the hospital during the latter’s stay there Miss Angerman said she attached no particular sig- nificance to this request at the time. It is understood that the mother of Miss Davey, who lives in Pennsyl- vania, is im ill health and police last night had refrained from informing her of her daughter's death. were endeavoring to reach friends and Other relatives of the nurse.

American partisans were hopeful and doubtful in the same breath, but a good majority of the French tennis followers began their celebration to- night. Another squeezing, good-natured crowd of 10,000 packed the Roland Garros Stadium to see a match that in most of the French minds had been virtually conceded to the American pair. As the French superiority be- came more and more apparent. the spirits of the crowd rose and from the end of the third set on the ap- plause and paisa was almost con- stant. President Doumergue of France /honored the stadium with his pres- ence and in the reserved seat boxes were almost all the fashionabie women of Paris, disappointed perhaps, because of the hint of rain they had worn their old gowns and there was no rain. American won some consolation and a great deal of applause in the second match of the day, an exhibi- tion affair between Berkley Bell and Gregory Mangin and the French pair, Rene Debuzelet and Christian Bous- sus.

Information has reached Inspector Shelby that on April 10 the real estate salesman and Camp- bell entered a drug store and called a friend. Campbell and the other real estate man asked for the use of the friend’s apartment, police say.

The motive.of the police is to at- tempt to establish an ship between the suspect and the slain girl. When the Washington real estate man is located he will be ques- tioned as to his knowledge of Arling- ton County realty men's circles of women friends. Authorities also have located am- other witness. who claims that he can prove Mary Baker knew Campbell. Commonwealth's Attorney William C. Gloth will not make this man’s name known until he is certain of the man’s story. Investigators would say only that the witness knew the slain girl and on two occasions she méef- tioned the name of Campbell to him.

Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintend- ent of police, after a conference yes- terday with Inspector Wiliiam 8.

Pratt is will- ing to accept Dr. Souder’s findings as factual and considers any identifica- tion by him as authoritative. Campbell turned the gun over to the police and told & fantastic story of the actions of a “man with a wart on his nose" whose inquiries regard- ing Campbell's possession of a death gun aroused his curiosity, prompted & “search” for the gun, and resulted in its “recovery.” Campbell has since admitted that the story is a lie and that the weapon was never out of his possession. Campbell still insists that some mistake has been made in the iden- tity of the gun. Mr. Gloth has not indicated whether he will have the gun sent to Maj. Goddard for ex- amination. Examination of Gloves. Lieut. Fowler also uncovered more circumstantial evidence which Mr. Gloth considers damaging to the sus- pect. Before the gloves found in the trap sewer with the murdered girl’s clothing were shown to Campbell, he told authorities that in addition to grease stains, the fingers of the right- Rand glove would probably be scarred. Oampbell explained that he had used the gloves while tightening bolts on his automobile. Lieut. Fowler showed Mr. Gloth the scratches on the texture of the glove. Campbell accused Hermann H. Bar- rere of taking the gloves as well as the gun from his home in Virginia Highlands. In addition to this, Lieut. Fowler | pointed out the grease stains on the | first | gloves. When the pair was shown to Campbell he identified them as his; now he says they are not his. Arkansans Are Found. Hairs of a dog which Campbell said | would be on the gloves were also found. Campbell owns a dog. Mr. and Mrs. Roy K. Smith, with whom Campbell says he spent the time between 8 o'clock and 9:30. o’clock on the night of the murder have been located by authorities at Piggott, Clay County, Arkansas. Depo- sition of these witnesses will be taken by Arkansas police. Campbell says he visited this couple on that night in a house on Hamilton street near Sixth street northwest. This was on April 11, he said, the night on which the Navy Department clerk’s body was thrown in a culvert near Arlington Cemetery after being riddled with three shots and assaulted. Tomorrow Mr. Gloth and Lieut. Kelly will continue a further check of the alibi of the suspect and his wife.

OPERATING 186 VESSELS ’ (Associated Press). The $3 000,000,000 government agency which spent one-third of that sum in a single year, plans to ask for only $4,000,000 for its maintenance next year. Altogether %3,683,569,000 has been appropriated for the Shipping Board and the Merchant Fleet Corporation, the board’s operating agency. Of that sum, $1,067,183,000 was spent in a single year—1918, when the United States was at war and ordered the board to buy and build ships regard- less of cost. Since that year the appropriations have decreased steadily. They were $110,915,000 in 1922, $30,000,000 in 1925 and $6,666,666 for this year. To allow the decrease in funds, the board has sold hundreds of ships, built or contracted for during the war, and reduced its staff correspond- ingly. It is slowly going out of the shipping business, concentrating now on stimulation of the domestic mer- chant marine. For this latter pur- pose, President J. R. Gordon, of the Merchant Fleet Corporation, esti- mates $4,000,000 will be enough next ear. : The board now has in active opera- tion only 186 of the more than 2,000 ships built during the war period. These are to be sold as soon as prac- about | Phone National | ticable. Forecasting further de- 'ereases in activities as far as actual |operation of steamship lines, the | board plans to cut its budget to $6,- 000,000. less than for last year. In 1920 the board's pay roll was about $23,000,000, but fewer employes now draw only $3,288,513 annually. |This latter figure will be further de- creased for the next fiscal year as ad- ditional steamship lines and other properties are sold and existing g0Ov- ernment-operated lines are consoli- dated.

Paris Court Informs Kin Princess, 73, May Marry ‘Plea of “I Want to Have Few Happy Years Before I Die” With Don Luis Fernando, King Alfonso’s Cousin, Touches Jurists. Paris, July 26 (N.Y.W.N.S.).—The 73-year-old Princess de Broglie may marry, if she wishes, and whom she wishes, according te a decision of the courts today, despite the opposition of the children of her nephews and nieces. She seems to have set her heart on wedding Infante Don Luis Fer- mando, cousin of the King of Spain. The marriage ig likely to be celebrated goon. It is believed that the wistful Plea of ihe Princess, ‘J want to haved a few happy years before I die,’ swayed the court in its decision. The Paris court decided against the Duc de Brissac, who represented the family and asked for an injunction restraning the mature fiancee from marrying. The court declared that nephews and nieces cannot interfere with their aunts’ or uncles’ matri- monial projects, even when, as in the present’ instance, an aunt is accused of squandering reckless'y a pamaly fortune. of scientists to the contrary, ] ment, mission to vary from the existi U- | o oe oe — 'which will embrace the largest and | schools “BAMBERGER BABY" TO BE GHIROTENED Watkins and His Attorney Consider Injunction in Baby Mix-Up. MASS MEETING CALLED Chicago, July 26 (A.P.).—The Wat- kins-Bamberger baby mix-up threat- ened tonight to become even more of a tangle tomorrow, when the baby in the Bamberger home is scheduled to be formally bestowed with the name of Bamberger at a baptismal service in St. Raphael’s Oatholic Church. Mr. and Mrs. Charlies Bamberger announced plans for the baptism to- night, following a conference with their attorney, and reiterated their conviction that, despite the decision they have their own baby. Mr. and Mrs. | William Watkins and their attorney, ‘notified of the plan, said they were considering an injunction to prevent the baptismal ceremony. A group of Chicago mothers met |today and planned a crusade against recurrences of such mixups. Mass Meeting Called. Mrs. Grace Dibbrell, prominent civic worker, who headed the move- issued a call to all Chicago mothers, for a mass meeting next week when it is planned to launch an intensive investigation of the maternity wards of all hospitals of the district. Meanwhile the two mothers fought for strength to nurse the infants that may or may not be theirs. As a re- sult of the worry and the strain of the numerous scientific tests they have undergone with the babies this past week, they were reported to be in a highly nervous condition. Former Governor in Case. Barrett O’Hara, former lieutenant governor of Illinois, today was retained by Mr. Watkins to take care of the latter’s interests in the case. Watkins, who said he was convinced the child given his wife was the one born to Mrs. Bamberger, had not decided ona definite line of action. The other father, Charles Bamber- ger, continued adamant that the baby given the Bambergers by hospital at- taches is his own. The baby now called Watkins sleeps peacefully most of the time, too young to have its feelings hurt because, for the time béing, it is the baby neither family wants. Feel “Hostile Affection.” The Watkins look at him with a sort of hostile affection. “He's not ours,” they said, isn’t he cute?” “I’m sure I’ve got the Bamberger baby and he has my son. But then when some folks say they think baby looks a little like me or my wife—all I'm certain of is that we have got to know for sure, some way, some how.” Every little while he bends over the crib—not having a job to take him away from home—to study, the baby’s tiny features searching for a likeness of himself. Over at thé Bamberger household Bamberger continued to assert that he and his wife have their right baby and they inténd to keep him.

Armed of volunteer firemen and citizens were hastily gathered to assist the county police in the search for the mén, two of whom are frony Washington. The men were awaiting action of the grand jury on charges Of petit larceny. They were locked in the same cell on the second fioor of the county jail, which is a brick structure in the rear of the courthouse. The mén forced a staple on thé cell door about 8 o'clock last night and escaped through a trapdoor to the roof, where they tore off several pieces of slate and reached the outside. They then Jumped to the ground and disap- peared in nearby bushes. Their escape was discovered about fifteen minutes later by Jailer Joseph Motley, who broadcasted an alarm to County Policeman Lloyd Whipp, who was_on station duty at Rockville Po- lice Headquarters. Whipp called out the volunteer fire department and all available policemen, as well as & num- ber of citizens, who searched the sur- rounding country all last night for a trace of the escaped prisoners.

WOMAN HUNTS MIAN TO GRAVE OF WIFE Manchester’s Former Mayor Three Years Fugitive, Taken at Burial. ACCUSED AS EMBEZZLER Matichester, N. H., July 26 (N.Y. W.N.B.).—A three-year search for for- mer Mayor Harry W. Spaulding of this city, ended today at the grave of his wife. Through years of affiu- ence as assistant postmaster, as Mayor of Manchester, and then through his years as a fugitive from justice, his wife remained loyal. She died a few days ago, and to- day—for love Qf hér—Spaulding was in custody here after a thrée-year search throughout the East. He was arrested when he brought the body of his wife from New York and police shadowed him through the funeral services to the grave. They made no move until he had turned away from the new mound in Pine Grove Cemetery, where Mrs. Spaulding had asked to be buried. Then they moan him under arrest for the alleged embezzlement of $2,900 in 1927 from a Sandow wom- an’s estate of which he was executor. Mrs. Alfred F. Langley, of Sandow, widow of a physician, was the victim of Spaulding’s alleged’ embezzlement, according to Stewart E. Rowe, Rock- ingham County solicitor, who di- rected the search for the former pub- lic official. tip resulting in Spaulding’s arrest was furnished to County. Soli- citor Stewart E. Rowe, of Rocking- ham County, by the woman com- plainant. Mrs. Langley learned from a rela- tive that Mrs. Spaulding had died in New York. She told Mr. Rowe and suggested that the woman's body Might be brought back to Man- chester for burial. ‘ Manchester officials communicated with Sheriff Spinney at Portsmouth, who held the Warrant for Spaulding’s arrest and it was forwarded here. Police displayed compassion, for al- though the former mayor was under surveillance from the moment hé ar- rived here, he was not aware of it until his duty to his wife had been discharged. Spaulding is 56. His wife was a Manchéster girl of ex- cellent family. Arlington Youth Asphyxiates Self Body Is'Found by Mother; Ill Health Held Cause of Act.

With the Maryland Yacht Club cruiser race and twenty other races on the card, every boat — owner in this territory has.an oppor- tunity to test the speed'’\of his boat, something that every amateur would like to do, but hesitates entering any race because of the fear of competing with professionals. Special trophies are offered for amateurs and cash will be given professionals who win. Admiral Robison, of the United States Naval Academy, has accepted the invitation of the association to act as chairman of the race commit- tee and has offered the facilities of the navy yard at Annapolis to those who wish to have heavy boats placed in the water. It is also understood that the admiral will try to arrange an exhibition shell rdce between the midshipmen at this regatta. Secretary Zimmerman states that more and better trophies are being received than at an? former regatta, the latest one to be sent in coming from the Studebaker people, througs the courtesy of Lee Butler. Ed Baltz, chairman of the racing committee, is highly pleased with the way entries have been coming in. Never before, he claims, in his entire racing experience have entries come in so rapidly and from such a wide territory: Jerry Spillman, of Miami, has entered his Honey, a specially built boat. Entries from Pennsyl- vania were received late yesterday aft- ernoon, Altogethe¥, over -70 entries have been made to date.

FOR SECRET POLICE Misquoted, He Tells Fish;) Did Not Oppose Group.to Trail Communists. NO TROUBLES AT PLANT Detroit, July 26 (A.P.).—Charles E. Sorenson, personal representative of Henry Ford, told the congressionai committee investigating Communism in the United States today that he was “very much in favor” of a secret police force to check Communist acti- vities in the United States. Sorenson, who appeared without a subpoena before the committee to tell what he: knew of alleged Communist activities in the Ford organization, said, however, that the Ford Motor Co. never had experienced any trouble from Communists in the Ford plant, and said that the company’s business relations with the Soviet government always had been satisfactory. “We are not ashamed of the con- tracts we have made with Russia.” he said. Thinks Ford Misrepresented. Questioned regarding an interview with newspapermen in New York iast week upon his return from Russia, Mr. Sorenson denied he had been cor- rectly quoted when he was reported to have criticised the idea of a scret police force of the government to keep a check on Communist activtiles. Under questioning by Representa- tive Hamilton Fish, jr., of New York. Mr. Sorenson said that Henry Ford “probably had been misrepresented” when newspapers printed a statement, said to have been made by Mr. Ford that he needed 30,000 workers at once. Asked if it were true that more than , 80,000 workers flocked to Detroit to get jobs, that there were no jobs and that the fire hose was turned on the crowds at the Ford plant in order to disperse them, Mr. -Sorenson replied, “I think so, yes. We have had to do that. before.” ‘Sorenson denied that he had said in the newspaper interview that for eight months some 50 skilled Russian Communists had been employed in the Ford plant with the knowledge of the management and that the morale of the organization had proved impervious to their efforts. “I said Russian workmen, not Russian communists,” Sorenson said. “Do you believe it likely that Communists would be sent to your plant to cause trouble when your money is going to aid the Soviet gov- ernment in its enterprises?” Repre- sentative Fish asked. “Don’t you think that makes you somewhat im- mune from troubles that might come to other companies?” “TIT hadn’t thought of it way,” Sorenson replied. Would Stop Propaganda. Sorenson said he was familiar with the Ford Worker, an allegedly Com- munist paper circulated at the Ford plant, and with other propaganda. He said he thought it was “harmful and dangerous, and would stop it to- morrow” if he could. He denied, however, that he had experienced any trouble with Communists at the Ford Plant. He said no Ford employe ever had been dismissed for communistic activities. Representative Fish declined to uestion Sorenson about the activi- ies Of the Ford organization in Rus- gia, saying the committee was “not in that concerned” with activities outside of the United States. Sorenson said all the contracts made by the Ford Com- any would be executed through Am- rg. United States Soviet represent- ative. The appearance of Sorenson today marked the second timé that the Ford organization has been intro- duced into the committee testimony. The first occasion was yesterday, when the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin accused the motor magnate of unwit- tingly contributing to the spread of Communism, and criticized his $13,- orlaee. ,000 COMEEREY with Soviet enter- pr DIED Bowte—On Saturday, July 26, 1930, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. .

SHAFFER Mad prices Sete Set i hl _THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY. The ‘Listening 1] Post. i By CARLISLE’ BARGERON— NE is surprised at the ténder- ness of the heart that -beats within the rugged. frame of Senator Hatfield, of West Virginia. In the first place one is not in- clined to associate tenderness with West Virginia and the name of Hat- field is one that for generations and generations has identified a pioneer and sturdy stock. Neither would the physique of the senator himself suggest a sensitive- ness. One gets impression that it would be capable of withstanding most any onslaught. Yet about the easiest thing in the world is to get under the senator’s skin, and there almost the slightest touch leaves a bruise. ° . ° . NE hears somewhat vaguely now O of a clash of the senator. with ‘a West Virginia editor who criti- cized him and his considering seeking quite strong redress. The criticism, was not necessarily bitter, either, just the usual brand of editorial criticism. One time Senator Blaine had Hat- field’s colleague, Senator Goff, under fire. He’ kept referring to the testi- all over. mony of a tariff league official before the Senate lobby committee that he had written a speech that Goff had made a few days befote. It so happéned that Hatfield had made a quite lengthy speech a few minutes before Bla'ne had got up. ° . . . N his attack on Goff, Blaine kept referring mistakenly to the “junior senator from West Vir- ginia,” which is Senator Hatfield. Finally, Hatfield corrected him. “I beg your pardon,” Blaine said. “Of course, I mean the senior sena- tor from West Virginia. I dc not know who wrote the speech of the junior senator from West Virginia.” Hatfield was instantly on his feet, his big frame pulsating in anger. “Tl have the senator know,” he shouted, “that I am entirely capable of writing my own speeches.” He Was so mad that he was shaking fiis face was a deep purple. So worked up did he become, in fact, that he had hastily to leave the chamber. The man is very touchy about his art, you might say. U.S. MAY INCREASE EMBARGO LIST AGAINST SOVIET GOODS Continued from Page 1. quality, there was no competition with the American output. The smuggling charge entered the situation when two men brought into Federal custody today for smuggling watch movements into the country hamed Amtorg as owner of $15,000 worth of the movements. The men arrested were Jacob Kreitz, Freeman, alias Albert, and Abraham Schafran. Wolode Asturov was also named in the complaint, but he was said to be in Russia. Federal Attor- ney Charles Tuttle said that Schaf- ran told him Asturov was comptrol- ler of the Amtorg Trading Corpora- tion and police said he was also American head of the O. G.’P. U., | Soviet secret political police. Black‘ Book Captured. Asturov was one of the witnesses desired by the congressional commit- tee when it was meeting here, but it was learned that he had gone back to Russia shortly before the inquiry sessions started. When Kreitz was arrested last night police said they found a cer- tificate in his possession identifying him as a “trustworthy servant” of the Soviet who could be entrusted with any secrets. He also had a black book containing names which police said indicated 25 soviet agents in this country and others in China and Japan. Soviet purchases in this country, which Litvinoff indicated might be curtailed or altogether halted if further embargoes were placed on imports from Russia, amounted to slightly more than %107,000,000 last year and under the Soviet five-year rogram are scheduled to be greatly increased. Before the congressional commit- tee Peter A. Bogdanov, Amtorg presi- dent, testified that he did not believe that American industry would be harmed by Russia dumping into American markets low priced com- modities, production of which is being made possible by purchase of ma- chinery here. Wider Order Expected. The action of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman in placing an embargo On imports of pulpwood from Soviet Russia on the ground that it is being produced by convict labor is expected to be followed by orders forbidding cargoes of lumber shipped from the Archangel district. Only recently Mr. Lowman ruled that evidence in possession of the Treasury Department was not suffi- cient to show conclusively that certain lumber cargoes, two of which were then Mf. Portland, Me., others at sea en route to Providence, R. IL. and Poughkeepsie, N.Y. had been pro- duced in whole or in part by convict labor. The National Lumber Manufactur- ers Association filed a vigorous brief calling attention to official reports in the Treasury showing that prison labor is being largely used in logging and sawmill operations. A _ strong brief, likewise, was filed by the Amer- ican Wage Earners Protective Associa- tion, of which Matthew Woll, of the American Federation of Labor, is the head, and by other organizations. Lumber Drive Renewed. Now it is being contended that the same labor that produced the pulpwoodg imported by the Amtorg Trading Co. for the International Paper Co. likewise produced. the logs from which was manufactured the lumber imported by the A. C. Dutton Co. of Providence and Poughkeepsie. In this connec- tion it is asserted that the branches and trimmings from the logs that went into the imported lumber were shipped as pulpwood. In view of this situation, lumber interests are renewing their drive for an embargo on all lumber shipments to the United States fromthe White Sea region. In addition to the National Asso- ciation, the West Coast Association has filed a strong protest basing it partly on the ground that 40,000 lumber workers in the States of Ore- gon and Washington are now unem- ployed by reason of the slack demand for lumber. | Greeley Adds to Charges. Col. Willlam B. Greeley, formerly chief of the forest service and now secretary and manager of the West Coast Association, also insisted that “the Russian government is under- taking forest operations in a way to menace the entire lumber-producing industry of the United States.” Col. Greeley quoted the Soviet Year Book as saying that by 1933 the produc- tion of lumber in Russia will have reached 12,270,000,000 feet, compared — 3,570,000,000 feet in 1927, add- ng: “A large portion of the odies cut is intended for distribution within the United States and in the prin- cipal foreign markets where West Coast woods are now sold.” The demand for an embargo on Manganese ore imported from Russia 7 vals ground that it has caused the up credits here, was yesterday receiv- ing serious consideration. Section 307 of the tariff act of 1930 prohibits the entry into this of articles mined, prod OPEN ‘A CHARGE ACCOUNT FINE MEN’S WEAR EISEMAN’S, 7th & F alias | factured wholly or in part by prison or convict labor. _It also includes inhibitions against goods produced by “forced” or “inden- tured” labor. As to the latter two classifications, however, the section ddédes not become effective until Janu- ary 1, 1932. Forced and indentured labor are alleged to be used in getting out Russian manganese ore. Section 337, dealing with unfair practices ‘in the import trade, empow- efs the President under certain con- ditions to deny entry to goods from foreign countries when their sales or distribution in this country has the effect or tendency to “destroy or sub- stantially injure an industry, effi- ciently and economically operated in the United States, or to prevent the establishment of such an industry, or to restrain or monopolize trade and commerce in the United States.” The American manganese produc- ers, the anthracite coal producers and other industries may resort to this provision of the tariff act in their ef- for to stop Russian imports into this country, but they must establish the fact that the Soviet government is de- liberately underselling them in order i? actitate them out of their home mar- et. 100 Hunt for Woman In Carolina Mountain Bakersville, N. C., July 26 (A.P.) — A party of 100 men today was search- ing for Mrs. Margaret Buchanan, 35, who became ‘ost on Bald Mountain, near -here, yesterday afternoon. Mem- bers of the party, which began the search last night fear Mrs. Buchanan fell from a cliff. She left home yesterday afternoon, telling members of her family she was going to .ollow a turkey hen in the hope of finding the bird’s nest. They saw her follow the turkey to the mountain. LOW RAKISH LINES SPORT TREATMENT THROUGHOUT ‘COMMITTEE VOTES LEFT-TURN CHANGE Action Believed to Seal Fate of Much-Discussed Traffic Issue. ELDRIDGE IS OPPOSED Continued from Page 1. most successful ever taken, and which showed a preponderance of senti- ment in favor of the rotary method. Mr. Eldridge has in his files the results of a survey he made of 151 cities of various .sizes throughout the United States. These are expected also to figure in any fight he may make to save the present turn. The argument of opponents of the turn, that the National Capital was block- ing the path to uniform traffic regu- lations, led Mr. Eldridge to make the survey in question. The study showed that many other cities had taken the position that uniformity was not so desirable as safety. Actual figures compiled show that while 54 of the 151 cities do use the center or standard turn, 23 use a turn made to the left of the center point of the intersection. This method is known as the “four-button sys- tem.” In 64 cities, the four-button turn is used in conjunction with the inside or standard turn. In ten cities left turns are pro- hibited altogether at controlled in- tersections and in nearly all left turns are prohibited at the more important intersections. This, Mr. Eldridge has always contended, shows the advan- tage of the rotary turn, inasmuch as it permits Washington to retain left turns in the congested district. Proponents of the rotary turn have insisted that this survey shows such a degree of nonuniformity already existing that the National Capital's possible change to the standard turn will have little-effect on the subject nationally. Another point that is certain to be made in a last defense of the turn now in use here is that it is the only one which gives the pedestrian a rea- sonable chance. With the inside turn in effect, in addition to competing with right-turning vehicles, as at present, his path is crossed by the left-turning stream as well, Mr. El- dridge surely will point out. In spite of one more possible last ditch defense of the present turn, little hope is held for its retention. Baldwin Predicts Government's Fall Says Labor Will Be Out of Office.

London, July 26 (A.P.).—With the adjournment of the British Parlia- ment at hand, former Premier Stanley Baldwin, Conservative party leader, predicted at a political rally in York- shire today that the Labor govern- ment would be out of office within six months.

OEARGH FOR FLIER PHUVES FRUITLESS Entry in Air Derby Has Not Reported His Position Since Tuesday. ——— ST aS eg ae eee THOUGHT LOST IN HILLS Stroudsburg, Pa., July 26 (A.P.).— Growing apprehensions for the safety of Edgar Todd, of Pueblo, Colo., one of the entries in the All-American Air Derby, were felt late today when a wide search for some trace of him was fruitless. .Todd had been reported in- trouble several times since he left Cincinnati Tuesday morning at the start of the derby. He was seen last fiying in the direction of Scranton with his ship going in wide circles as though he were lost. From Detroit came word that Todd had not reported to derby officials since late Tuesday, when he was forced down at Port Jervis, N. Y., and was waiting for clear weather to take to the air again. Todd, officials said, was fiying a low-wing monoplane of his own con- struction and carried no compass. They added that they feared he had been forced to land in the moun- tainous Pennsylvania country known to airmen as the worst terrain over which the air-mail routes go. Searchers in this vicinity reported late tonight that men on foot, in au- tomobiles and airplanes Ref combed the territory from here through Po- cono Township as far as Big Pocono, 28 miles to the northwest, in vain.

LOSES ARIZONA HOP Gehibach Fourth From San Angelo, Tex., as Hamer Arrives First. HAS TWO-HOUR MARGIN Douglas, Ariz.. July 26 (A.P.).— Lieut. Lee Gehlbach, Little Rock, Ark., entrant in the all-American air derby,. kept his elapsed time advan- tage of nearly two hours safely be- | yond reach of twelve other filers to- | day, but three of his competitors | beat him into Douglas from San An- | gelo, Tex., to take all the day’s prize | money. Mr. Gehibach made the 535-mile hop from the Texas control point in’ 4 hours 22 minutes 31 seconds, bring- ing his elapsed time to 22:00.38. Ahead today in the race over rug- ged Texas, New Mexico and Arizona were Herman Hamer, Chicago, San Angelo to Douglas in 4:15.52; J. R. Weddell, New Orleans, 4:18.30, and Stub Quinby, Moline, Ill., 4:22.10. Mr. Hamer, reported officially out of the running after he experienced several hours’ delay before reaching Houston, Tex., was announced to- night as reinstated. Lee Schoenhair, race manager accompanying the der- byists, said he had misinterpreted a telegram from Detroit after he had wired headquarters there concerning Mr. Hamer’s delay. Flying Time List. Revised computations of today's flying times and total elapsed times were announced by race officials as follows, the figures for the four lead- ers having official status, the others being released as unofficial pending check and eonfirmation in Detroit: Herman Hamer, Chicago, 4:15:52 (no elapsed time available).

BLAMES ACT ON POLICE Detroit, July 26 (A.P.).—While a cross-section of Detroit citizenry, 10,- 000 strong, followed Jerry Buckley to his grave today, a bootlegger, who can not read English, swore that he was the man who accused the slain radio orator of racketeering, and that he did it unwittingly. Two affidavits signed by the ad- Mitted liquor seller—Frank Chock— were before the public tonight. One was that obtained by Police Com- missioner Thomas C. Wileox after Buckley was shot to death early Wednesday. It accused the dead man of having induced him to set up a liquor business and having then “Shaken him down” for $4,000. Threat Is Implied. The second sworn statement, made wee today by Thomas F. Kennedy, muckley’s law partner, declared that Chock signed the Wilcox affidavit without a knowledge of its contents and under an implied threat of being placed in jail. In this affidavit Chock said that Buckley was his friend and had helped him get customers be- cause he was sending money to needy relatives in France. Coincident with this development, police were forced to release the man they had announced as an impor- tant suspect. He was Jack Klein, motion picture operator, who was sitting beside Buc2ley in the LaSalle Hotel when three gunmen killed him @ short time after he had announced the result of the election to regal) Mayor Charles Bowles. Klein was released on a writ of habeas corpus after admission by the prosecutor’s office that there was no evidence to justify holding him. So far as the public knew this left the police in much the same position they occupied at the start of the investi- gation. Crowd at Funeral. Many persons in the crowd at the funeral at §t. Gregory’s Catholic Church today and at the burial in Mount Olivet Cemetery had been helped by the campaign in behalf of unemployed, which Buckley con- ducted last winter over Station WMBC where, as political commentator, he flayed the underworld and criticized the Bowles administration. Others were millionaires, judges, former police executives, but mostly they were members of Buckley's “radio family,” who knew him: only as a voice on the air championing their causes and ideals. WOMAN, SON SEIZED IN NARCOTICS RAID Continued from Page 1. and that his mother did not have anything to do with it. She was lodged in the House of Detention. Samuel H. Lampkin, 30 years old, of Irving street northwest, near Twelfth street, came into the apartment dur- ing the raid, and was arrested for investigation. Police said he probably would be released today. A colored woman also came to the apartment, and was arrested. She carried laundry with her, and the police believe her story that she was merely delivering the laundry to the apartment. She likewise was arrested for investigation. Two opium pipes were found in the apartment and were taken for evidence. In addition to the narcotic charges, Callahan was charged with possession and transportation of 8 quarts of liquor. He was bringing the stuff into the apartment when he was nabbed with it, police said. Janney created a furore when he was placed under arrest. He at- tempted to battle the police to de- stroy a smal] packet he had in his watch pocket. After a short struggle he was overpowered, and a search brought to light a small quantity of alleged heroin in the pocket. Dr. J. B. Greeson, one of the chief enforcemént officers in the narcotic service; Agent C. D. Fortner and De- tectives R. A. Saunders and D. H. Jones conducted the raid.

They drove up to the country home in two automobiles, overpowered the servants with and once inside brought their artillery down on Mr. and Mrs. Cutten. “I wouldn’t have cared so much,” commented Mr. Cutten later, “if they had treated me and my wife with any sort of consideration. They tied us up and locked us in basement vaults which no air could enter. “It was then I determined that no matter how long a timé or how much money was required, I would run them down and send thém to prison.” For eight years Mr. Cutten never for a moment during the exciting Periods of stock market opérations or grain manipulations, forgot his oath of vengeance. This success he looks upon as dwarfing his most successful operation in the realms of specula- tions and investment.

Forecaster Charlés L. Mitchell, of the | Weather Bureau, reported last night that the Capital was due for at least 36 hours ‘nore of abnormal tempera- tures. Whether the temperature will reach the all-time record of 106 established for the District last week, however, is now debatable; it is expected that the mercury will hover close under that point, but that it may reach or pass it is held unlikely. Summerall in Hospital. After working through the peak of the temperature wave for the past ¢ight days, Maj. Gen. Charles P.

Griswold, now in charge of the staff office, posted a bulletin yesterday stating that Gen, Sum- merall’s condition was not serious. (Associated Press.) The Midwest and East were faced with another uncomfortable week- end with reports yesterday of 100 degree temperatures scattered along a new heat belt extending from Kansas and the Dakotas eastward to the Atlantic Seaboard. Showers were predicted to bring relief to some localities, but for the most part there was a general exodus to the wide open spaces, starting last ae in the sweltering cities. mperatures above the century mark were reported in southern Ili- nois, Nebraska, Ohio and western Maryland, with others ranging from 95 to 98 in parts of South Dakota, Iowa and Pennsylvania. . Showers Help Midwest. Showers and winds kept the mer- cury down to normal averages along the Great Lakes in the Midwest, but the belt expanded in the East to stretch into upper New York and eastern Lake Erie points. High temperatures were reported in Philadelphia and Baltimore in the East, but the thermometer reached only 88 in New York City. Following are some of the tempera- tures recorded through the Middle West, where some points sweltered as others enjoyed coolness: Mexico, Mo., 107. Lincoln, Nebr., 104. Amenia, N. Dak., 104.

Later valuation specialists will be called in by the commission and the street car companies will have to foot the bill for their services. Whether the valuation will be pushed to its conclusion is regarded as problematical by persons connected with the Utilities Commission. Com- mission officials do not believe that the merger of the car lines is a dead question. They expect the new in- creased fare to cause an acceleration of the decline in the number of rev- (enue passengers carried. They do not expect the companies to make as much money under the new rates as the companies estimated they would make. The result will be an increasing pressure, for purely business reasons, on the compahies to merge and save themselves thousands of dollars an- nually, it is reasoned. The Utilities Commission has been trying to induce a merger for some time but without success. Economic forces will come increasingly to aid in this effort, it is believed, and when the companies do renew the merger proposal the commission will insist | that they go back to the former fare as provided in the merger legislation, which failed of enactment by Con- gress. Whether or not his forecast proves accurate, the commission plans to go ahead with a new valuation of the car companies’ properties as urged by Mr. Keech and William McK. Clayton, chairman of the public utilities com- mittee of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations. Launching of a new valuation will mark the first time in 11 years that the Utilities Commission has under- taken to find a new basis for street car fares. The companies were valued as of 1914, with figures brought up to date in 1919, and subsequent changes have been made by the courts in the valuation of the Capital Traction Co., although the court fight of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. over the valuation never has been pushed.

Henry and 5,155 for C. A. Mitchner. First returns in the congressional races showed Representative John C. Box, of Jacksonville having trouble with Martin Dies, Jr. Orange, son of a former con an. Partial re- turms from six counties geve Dies | 8,208 and Box 3,417. The other Democratic incumbents |} were leading. although Guinn Will- lams, of Decatur, did not have a majority in his district. The vote was as follows: Williams, 1,107; B. D. Sartin, of Wichita Palls, Hoover Democratic leader, 800; State Senator W. D. McFarlane, 366, and John Lee Smith, 136. In the one district in which a rep- resentative 'was not seeking renomi- nation, Mayor R. E. Thomason, of El Paso, had »*. slight lead over E. &. (Pat) Murphy, of San Angelo. The vote in nine counties, including one complete, gave Thomason 1,258; Mu y 1,146 and Marvin L. Birk- head, of El Paso, a wet, 159. Representative John N. Garner, of Uvalde, minority leader in the House, had no opposition in the Democratic primary. For the Republican nomination for governor first returns gave Dr. George C. Butte, of Austin, 41; H. E. Exum, of Amarillo, 14; John F. Grant, of Houston, 6, and John. Pollard Gaines, of Wichita Palls none. Ideal summer weather brought out a tremendous vote, estimates from reliable quarters plaeing the total at far more than the 737,901 votes cast two years ago. Total registration was 1,263,897 and the votes allotted on candidates ranging from constable to United States senator. The large number of entrants in the Governor's race made it seem cer- taim a run-off primary would be necessary. A run-off will be held in each race in which no candidate re- ceives ® majority, the two highest being participants. Voting was reported ‘ight in the Republican primary. Tre Republicans held their second primary in the State’s history as a result of the G. ©. P, candidate for governor polling more than 100,000 votes in 1928. Four candidates contested for the Repub- lican gubernatorial nomination, and the Republicans also had complete aa and national tickets in the eld.

Coats will be made of less bulky materials, and they are cut with many of the details of dresses. . There is a new way with seams, cut the same as on dresses, to give a slightly fitted effect to the waistline. Vionnet uses the seaming not only for fitted lines but to trim the coat. Coats will have more crushed or draped collars than other seasons. Belts and buttons are being used to keep the coat fastened. There will be contrasting colors, but well blended and not sharply con- trasting. There will be long-haired furs and short-haired furs. Of course, the long-haired furs are best on dress coats with the shawl col- lar that will be so popular, =o ooereeee,e =~. ~~ PR PPP PB PBB PPP PD PDP PPP DD DD OOO OS Sere ae eee er aa wt OPP PPP PPP PPD PDD DD DDD DDD DD DD DPD DD PDD DD DEO EE VO Se eeeeeeeeeeeereeeer_erreerrereraerraerr”,”,rvrevrr PALAIS ROYAL—Third Floor. The proper. length for most coats is middle calf and they must cover the dress. Sports coats may be a trifle shorter, and the dress may show just a bit beneath the fur coat. The formal or dress coats will be made of crepey weave woolens and suede finish materials. Sports coats are of the more informal materials, tweeds and homespuns. And they are belted or buttoned or both, and just as smart as can be. The colors that will be most worn are: Black, at the top of the list. Then brown, in dark and its varying shades. There is a growing interest, too, in the brighter colors. Blue will be good for early Fall. Green is one of the popular colors, too. The brown-beige shades are best in sports coats. Tweeds have two or more shades of the same color which contrast mildly. You see, they all follow the Fashion rule of blended, rather than sharply contrasted colors. os ee ee ee a a a Ss SS eS SS Se eee eel eee eee ee a ss i i i i i i, i, i i i i i i POPP POPPI PP PP PPP PPD PP PPD PD DPD DD DD DP AOS OO eee aera ; PO PPP GPPPPPOP PPP EP PEPPER DP PPD DD DD DP DD OP RD OD DD DO The dresses will rteed a whole column by them- selves, so I won't try to tell you about them here.

Chesapeake Bay is saltier on its eastern shore than on the side nearer Washington, it has been discovered by experts of the Department of the Interior. Research also has shown that Ches- apeake Bay is salty in spots, that ‘bathers getting a mouthful of aqua beach may find its taste much more saline than at another point a little farther along the shore. Not only that, says the Interior De- partment, but salinity of the bay in- creases with depth; as the denser water from the ocean flows inward, the lighter water from the rivets flows out over the top. The explanations given are that the water is saltier on the east shore be- cause of the force of the earth’s rota- tion which tosses the salt water in that direction—that and the fact that rivers emptying into the bay come from the western shore. The reason for the mottled effect through which simultaneous tests in close proximity to a single radial point show different degrees of salin- ity, it ls explained, is that the proc- ess under way in the bay is one of mixing salt water with fresh, and where the salt has not yet merged thoroughly with the fresh, the salt content naturally is greater. It is pointed out that these phe- nomena are important not only to the “temporary summer bather,” but from the standpoints as well of navi- gation, engineering, sanitation, sedi- mentation, and the fish and oyster industries. G.0.P. in Oregon Names Metschan for Governor Portland, Ore., July 26 (A.P.).— Phil Meischan, Portland hotel man, today was nominged for governor at the Republican State central commit- tee convention to succeed the late Senator George W. Joseph. Mr. Met- schan’s nomination came on the four- teenth ballot after he and Tom B. Kay, State treasurer, had battled on even terms for nine ballots. Withdrawal of Julius L. Meler, Portland,. unexpectedly swung his supporters over to Metschan. Senator Joseph died after he had been nom- inated in the Republican primary. This left selection of the candidate to the central committee. The Weather TODAY’S SUN AND TIDE TABLE AM P.M.

RUM GINGER FOUND TO CONTAIN PHENO Poisonous Plant Resembling | Ginger. Rootstock May Have Been Used. SOURCE. NOT LOCATED United States Public Health Serv- ice chemists assigned to ascertain the cause of paralysis in ginger jake, have discovered adulterants containing phenol, which the dictionaries de- scribe as carbolic acid. The substance that has caused so much sickness in Mississippi and other Southern States is said to be phosphoric acid ester of tricresol, which is not a well defined chemical entity. Ginger jake, a beverage with a bad bite, causes paralysis. The legs be- come sore, then the toes, and hands, and finally the person inflicted loses control of his limbs. The disease, the Public Health people say, is not due to ginger as such, but adu/terants put in it. Manufacturers of the concoction that has disabled thousands of per- sons in the South take a tincture ol ginger and adulterate it with the powerful phosphoric acid-like stuff, and sell it as a beverage. The first results of the poisonous drink were noted last February, and, as the period of development is about three | weeks, government agents believe that the first lots of the stuff were put on the market in January. Poison Plant May Be Cause. Rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs and other animals were used to test out the beverage, and every one paralyzed was found to have taken the phenolic compound, which strongly resembles phosphoric acid ester of one or more creosols. The Government chemists pointed out that a poisonous plant, which looks very much like the ginger root stock, may have been mistaken for it and sent to this country. But they believe that to the poison was added a ginger tincture in the form of an adulterant. Prohibition agents have not discovered how the manufac- turers of jake obtained a fluid con- taining phenol or carbolic acid. Used as “Filler.” Dr. J. M. Doran, chief of the Bu- reau of Industrial Alcohol, formerly prohibition commissioner, when told Service representatives, said that it would be easy for illicit beverage makers to get phenols or carbdlic acid, which ,they could use as a “filler,” to give bite and substance to their beverage. He declared that none of the Jamaica ginger samples analyzed by the health service showed any trace of Government. denatur- ants. He never used carbolic acid as a denaturant, he said. A number of arrests have been made in Ohio, New York and other States with a view to punishing the makers of ginger jake. The Govern- ment will prosecute for violation of the Volstead act. Many persons are hopelessly ill from drinking the doc- tored ginger, but no fatalities have been reported. er ecnt of possible sunshine, DEPARTURES FROM NORMAL.

Tom Heflin and Cole Blease, for ex- ample, are past masters in this’ sort of straight-shooting, unvarnished truth-telling. If they ever lose their jobs as senators, which in Tom’s case is not altogether unlikely, they ought to set up a school for the education of business. men aspiring to public careers, They could#turn out states- ing trade between Canada and the empire. This was in marked contrast to fhe Canadian editions of the same paper, which upheld the Conservative doctrine’ of protection for Canadian industry. Not only was the budget upkeld in the London edition but Canada was displayed as an inviting market for.British traders to exploit, All of which proved excellent material for the Liberal prime minister in his dramatic appeal to voters across Canada in his latest effort at round- ing up public opinion to his support. Irony of Attitude. The irony of the party attitude toward the empire in the campaign is in this, that while, heretofore, the Liberals have stood for freer trade with the United States, and have stressed the advantages of that mar- ket, they are now extolling the mar- kets of the empire and are exponents of a trade policy designed to realize on that ideal. This is the logical re- action to the 1930 tariff act passed at Washington. On the other hand, the Conservatives who have been advo- cates of imperial connection and suc- cessors of those men and women who saved Canada for the empire, are special advocates of Canadian indus- and the protection needed to tain that industry. Herein is a most attractive situation, the out- come of which is awaited. ing that this ironical situation will militate against his own party y = Alex the Hard-Boiled decided to go West and tell the wheat growers how to solve their farm problem. As head of the International Harvester Co. for many’ years and as chairman of the Farm Board for the last year, he had formed certain conclusions which he considered valuable and which he thought the-farmers ought to hear. In order to get more for their crops, he said, they ought to quit raising a surplus and in order to avoid piling up urplus, he said, they should plant less wheat. It seemed perfectly simple to him. He thought the farmers would like to hear a bit of plain talking from a business man like himself. He figured they were just about fed up on the alluring promises of professional farm-reliev- ing politicians who never made good a after election day. He never made a worse mistake in his life. He discovered, somewhat to his surprise, that they still like to be bunked as much as they ever did, maybe more.

If the November election turns out to be as close. as some people predict, it may be the decisive factor. Although it is inten wf Repeeitens normally in presidential years.) New Jersey a few months back was listed as a doubtful State. The Republicans were bedeviled by the liquor issue, with a dry sentiment among them apparently strong enough to force a straddle. The Democrats, on the other hand, were dripping wet. Any one they would nominate for the Senate would be in a perfect position, it seemed then, to take advantage of the Republican split and cash in on the powerful wet strength in the State. With Alex Simpson, the agile- minded little prosecutor in the Hall- Mills case, virtually unopposed for the Democratic nomination, the out- look for November had a pronounced Democratic tinge. Then along came Dwight Morrow. He took the liquor issue boldly by the horns, déclared himself in favor of repeal of the Vol- stead act and the eighteenth amend- ment, and then proceeded to trim his two opponents by a majority of 250,000, thereby changing the whole aspect of the Jersey situation. In- stead of privately conceding them- selves a* fighting chance te win, the Republicans now believe the odds are on their side in New Jersey. Montana, though carried by Hoover in 1928, was not listed among the promising prospects in the Repub- lican catalogue for 1930. There, the redoubtable Tom V/alsh, of Teapot Dome fame, is seeking a fourth term in the Senate. Nearly every one fig- ured him to win easily, notwithstand- ing his record of bone-dryness in the face of his State’s repeated repudia- tion of prohibition. The Republicans. after much hesitation, decided to take a gamble on the liquor issue. They put up Justice Albert J. Galen, a wet, and nominated him by a 2-to-1 majority over ©. H. P. Shelley, a dry Now the issue between Walsh and Galen is clear-cut “wet-or-dry” in a wet State and the Republicans think they have a real chance to beat Walsh, despite his acknowlédged na- tional prestige. I fast read another rather novel dry explanation of why Dwight Morrow can never reach the White House. It seems, according to this latest theory. Lindbergh got Morrow half his votes for the New Jersey Republican sena- torial nomination, and Anne got him the other half; Morrow personally getting none. Of course, this is arrant nonsense. But accepting it as accurate, does it occur to these profound ex- plainers that perhaps the vote-getting power of Lindy and Anne is not con- fined to New Jersey?

BUREAU OFFICIALS TO ofA] MOVING DURING Thilo WEEK ‘Capital Department Aids to Transfer to Municipal Center Location. DIRECTOR OF TRAFFIC TO BE FIRST CHANGING Police to House Machines and Motorcycles in New Garage. Transfer of various municipal de- partments to buildings which have been bought for the development of the Municipal Center is expected to begin this week. The first to move into the Walker Building at 458 Louisiana avenue northwest will be the Traffic Bureau and the director of traffic. They are expected to move from their quar- ters on the south side of Pennsyl- yania avenue west of Fourteenth street this week. Detective Bureau, Identification offices of the Police Department, including those of Maj. Henry G. Pratt, super- intendent of police, and Harry M. Luckett, chief and property clerk of the department, will follow in a week or two. The building, often called the “old”’ District Building, because it housed municipal activities before construc- tion of the present District Building, has six floors and a basement. Five floors will be used by the Police De- partment. Other Likely Transfers. The Refuse Department, Play- grounds Department and the Insur- ance Department are expected to be housed in the remaining space, al- though plans have not been made definite. The Juvenile Court is another municipal activity for which a home is to be found in the Municipal Cen- ter area. The court is now housed in the Arthur School, which is to be torn down in connection with the Federal building development. A new order of things is in prospect for motorcycle policemen.

Employment Bureau Change. Another activity which is to go into the Municipal Center is the Employ- ment Bureau. That is to be housed in the old First Presbyterian Church which was recently purchased by the District. | The space which will be vacated by the departments moved out of the District Building will be utilized by others now in the building but which have not sufficient room to function efficiently. The Fire Department will take over the space now used by the Bureau of Identification of the Police Department, the municipal architect probably will move to the second floor in the offices now occupied by the police executive offices and the Jn- surance Department, the Highway De- partment will take over the offices now used by the architect. Thomas M. Baldwin, superintendent of insurance, doesn’t want to move out of the District Building, con- tending that his office has frequent business with the tax collector and it may be that the Insurance Depart- ment will be moved to the basement floor to the offices now used by the detective bureau. Richey Fish Preserve Saved in Forest Fire Frederick, Md., July 26 (A. P.). Fire which broke out yesterday in the Fishing Creek watershed, one of Fred- erick’s sources of water supply, was under control today after approxi- mately 150 acres had been burned over. This watershed, twelve miles north- west of here, containing in the neigh- borhood of 7,500 acres of restricted land, borders the fishing camp land of Lawrence Richey, one of President Hoover's secretaries and there was some apprehension that. the blaze would extend to the Richey preserve. Senator Borah Will Take Rest Doctors Say Idahoan Now in Weakened Condition; To Go to Maine. (Associated Press.) Under doctor’s orders to take a two months’ rest, Senator Borah, of Idaho, will leave here early next week to spend at least a month in Maine. The Idaho senator, who has been undergoing examinations at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, re- ceived a final report from his physi- clans yesterday showing that while no organic trouble existed he was in a weakened condition. Senator Borah has not been absent from Washiugton more than a day “ft two since the Hoover administra- tion began He is anxious to get back to Idaho as soon as possible. Besides conducting his own cam- paign for reelection, he plans to speak in the West in behalf of the Repub- lican Independent farm relief pro- gram.

Tholds that earthquakés are not “Visi- > sal” Sha al *. oe Historical Tremors Are Compared and Causes Discussed. 7a By DAVID RANKIN BARBEE. With every visitation of an earth- quake, no matter in what part of the globe it may occur, the feelings of mankind are harried up with a kind of terror that. is indescribable, Those of us who have felt the tremor of the earth when it is in an angry mood at least can appreciate the fears and agonies of mind and soul that are to- day tormenting the poor Italians liv- ing around the Bay of Naples, which disturbances. No one of those Italians is won- dering what caused their earthquake at the side of smoking Vesuvius. Nor is he calling attention to former visi- tations of this sort.. His thoughts are on the most high God, and he is wondering what he and his neigh- bors have done to bring such a judg- ment on them. This is a purely unscientific defini- tion of this state_of mind; 4. I ‘am well aware of, for science” y tations” at all, but that somewhere and somehow the earth has slipped and got off the track, and in doing so has jarred things. Science yesterday was more reverent and spiritual. It even cataloged among the ‘great earthquakes those mentioned in the Bible, and said that all of them were “mysteries.” Today, in the latest works on seismography and in the latest histories of earthquakes, you find no mention of “mysteries” and no reference to the fact that God used the earthquake as His greatest weapon. as The older I grow the more I find myself inclined, as did the great Disraeli, to side with the angels in all of these matters. They seem to have the logic on their side, and the. facts, and they do rot attempt to explain away the facts. Why should Naples be so often vis- ited by earthquakes and why should some of them be so devastating? This, too, is. one of the “mysteries.” The earthquake of the past week is little more than the rattling of a baby’s nursery drum by the side of some of the greatest earthquakes, and Naples has known several in the past two millenniums that were far more de- structive to life and property than this one. There was the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79; the quake of December 5, 1456, which took a toll of 40,000 lives; that of July 30, 1626, which destroyed 30 towns and caused 70,000 deaths, and numerous Others with a casualty list as large or larger than the present one. Italy and Sicily have been a fa- vorite spot for the earth to shake and tear down mountains. As a matter of fact, the whole Mediterranean ba- sin has been the scene of many of the world’s worst tremors; but not more so than China and Japan, the Indian Ocean, South America and the islands of the Pacific. It is prob- able: that the worst earthquakes known to history. occurred in Pales- tine, where at Jerusalem, in‘1927, oc- curred one of the latest, with a life loss of 670. Numerous Quakes in U. &. The United States has had nu- merous quakes and still has them, but three stand out with particular emphasis in our history—that of 1811 in the Mississippi Valley; that of 1886, which a large Charleston, 8. C., and that of San Francisco in 1906, over which people still quarreling as to whether it was an e uake or a fire. The tremor killed 452 people and the fire destroyed property valued at $350,- 000,000. When you can value a hu- man life, you can estimate the dam- age to society of the San Francisco earthquake, and not till then. In our thinking We always point to the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 as be- ing one of the worst in recorded his- tory; and it was the classic instance. It destroyed that fair city; it took a toll of 50,000 human lives there, and God alone knows how many more in the Spanish Peninsula. In Morocco 12,000 Arabs are known to have lost their lives, the earth actually opening and swallowing one large town, and then closing in over it. But Lisbon had another earthquake, in 1531, which destroyed 1,500 houses and killed 30,000 persons. We have no in- timate details of that tremor, no first- hand account by a witness to it, so we can not tell if it was as destruc- tive as the second one, or not. The chances are that it was more s£0. Lightning, we aré told, never strikes twice in the same place, but earth- quakes do, and this is one of the re- markable features of these unnatural ——_ Kansu, in China, in 1920, up and swallowed 200,000 Chinese, and at the same spot, in 1927, it opened again.a up 100,000 Chinese.

Lucas, internal revenue YOUNG TREE-STTE HG 98 YENRS 1060 Capital Youth Far Behind Record Set Long Ago by St. Simeon. FEAT IS AUTHENTICATED “Somebody's always taking the joy out. of life,” according to Frank Kil- martin,.Capital aspirant for tree-sit- ting henors, after some unkindly soul dug up the record of St. Simeon Sty- lites, the elder, who sat atop a pillar for thirty-six years in northern Syria. St. Simeon was the first and prob- ably the most famous of the long succession of Stylitae, according to the Catholic encyclopedia, “who dur- ing more than six centuries acquired by their strange form of asceticism a great reputation for holiness through- out Eastern Christendom.” “If it were not that our informa- tion in the case of the first Simeon, is based upon very reliable first hand evidence,” says the Encyclopedia, “we should be disposed to relegate much of what history records to the domain of fable, but mo modern critic now ventures to dispute the reality of the feats of endurance attributed to these ascetics. , Began Life as Shepherd “After beginning life as a shepherd, he entered a monastery before the age of sixteen and from the first gave himself up to the practice of an yausterity so extreme and to all ap- pearance s0 extravagant, that his brethren judged him to be unsuited to any form of commurfity life. “Being forced to quit them, he shut himself for three years in a hut at Tell-Nesshin, where for the first time he passed the whole of Lent without eating or drinking. This afterward became his regular practice and he combined it with the modification of standing continually upright so long as his limbs would sustain him. “In his latter days, he was able to stand thus on his column without support for the whole period of the fast. After three years in his hut, Simeon sought a rocky eminence in the desert and‘ compelled himself to remain a prisoner within a narrow space less than 20 yards in diameter. But crowds of pilgrims invaded the desert to seek him out asking his counsel or his prayers and leaving him insufficient time for his own de- votions. New Pian Adopted. “This at last determined him to adopt a new way of life. Simeon had a pillar erected with a small platform at the top and upon this he de- termined to take up his abode until death released him. At first the pil- lar was little more than nine feet high, but it was subsequently replaced by others, the last in the series ap- of parently over 50 feet from the ground. “Around the tiny platform which surmounted the capital of the pillar there was probably something in the nature of the balustrade. But the whole was exposed to the open air and Simeon seems never to-have permitted himself any sort of cabin or shelter” ‘During his earlier years upon the col- umn there was on the summit a stake to which he bound himself in order to maintain the ‘upright position throughout Lent. But this was an al- leviation with which he afterward dispensed. 4 “After spending 36 years on his pillar Simeon died on Friday, Sep-— tember 2, 459.” 32,522 Miles of State Roads Improved in ’29 (Associated Press.) A. total of 32,522 miles of State highways were reported by the De- partment of Agriculture yesterday to haye been improved during 1929 at an expenditure of $910,485,291 to in- crease the te of State high- ways to 315,136 miles. Highway improvements last year reflected an increase of 3,270 miles over the 1928 total. Of the total, there were 25,071 miles of new sur- facing and 7,451 miles of graded and drained earth roads. Some of the work was of reconstruction nature. Harbor Yields Two Dead.

To lave of Courage Johnson’s Team Now Lacks Former Fight- ing Qualities. Manager Also Fears Pitching Staff Is Overrated. By FRANK H. YOUNG (Staf€ Correspondent of The Post). HICAGO, July 26.—Manager Wal- ter dJohnson’s Nationals have proven the surprise team of the present season—but in two ways. Their fine start, which saw them im- mediately jump close to the top of the heap and stay in that vicinity, confounded the so-called experts and made them look like amateurs, while the sorry showings of this same team on the-previous Western invasion and on the current jaunt have players and fans throughout the baseball world puzzled. So far, Johnson's team has proven. to be a complete contradiction. It has an edge in victories over its clos- est rivals, the Athletics and Yankees, baving won nine of eleven starts against the latter, yet has bowed consistently to the weaker second division clubs on both of its jaunts through the West. Fighting Qualities Disappear. No one knows the answer, but every one has the right to his guess. No one can question but.what the Na- tionals, to a man, are trying and they showed in their long winning streaks, when» they came from behind almost daily to overcome alien leads and win out, that they are fighters. On this present trip through the “wild and woolly” sector, the Johnsons seem to have’ lost this latter quality, however, as-in no less than nine of their los- ing games they have been‘in front at some stage of the contest only to falter as soon as the enemy has caught up to them, In the writer’s Opinion, Johnson has téo many players {n hist liné-up who can hit when every one else on the team is . pitting and too few players of the type who can keep their heads up while the’ team is slumping and take the leadership in showing the way out, In this latter class may be men- tioned Heinie Manush—and he has been out with injuries since July 9 until the present series opened—Sam Rice and Joe Judge. This trio has been through the fire and generally may be depended upon to keep. on plugging and ret somewhere even in the face of adversity, but the others, while trying, de not seem to be able to give their hest in the pinches. Gradually Finding Own Level. After watching the team day in and day out, one gets the impression that the Nationals previously have been playing “better than they know. how” and that, ‘ike water, they are grad- ually finding their own level. When they left Wasiington in first place early this month, it was the general prediction among the players that the Athletics would crack, the Mackmen’s “guts” being seriously questioned But the champions have been playing COCO DWORrHON OY > (none out in first);- like champs, while i. is the Nationals | who appear to havc lost everything. At this writing, the Johnsons are (only seYen zames back of the Ath- letics, which means that they are still very much in the pennant race, which does not. ends ‘or two more months. There is still time for them to get back into winning ways and cop, but they can not expect to do so playing Continued on Page 143, Column 1. Runs for the Week AMERICAN LEAGUE, M. T. W. Th, F.

He got in Bill Cissell’s eyes and let Sam’s ordinary pop fly drop safe for a two-base blow. Caraway walked Judge and Cronin on four successive balls ¢ach in the first, this pass to the latter filling the bases with only one down. Then Harris hit into a double play. Judge tore over toward the bag to make a fine one-handed grab of Jolley’s hot grasser ending the alien first, Jones hustling over to the base to take the toss. Bluege dug down in the dirt to make a nice stop of Cissell’s grass cutter in the second. Manager Johnson stopped the game in the Nats’ third to protest to Um- pire Hildebrand that Caraway was Continued on Page 13, Cotumn 6. | Hf arris: IC | Error Paves Way for 2 Chicago*: Runs in Sixth. Jones Loser in Duet | With Sox Southpaw}: Hits Scratchy. By FRANK H. YOUNG, (Staff Correspondent of The Post). OMISKEY PARK, Chicago, July 26.—Cecil Patrick Caraway helt the eegge ngs to four scattered and scratchy hits here this afternoon: ‘to send them down to their third” | straight defeat at the hands of the | White Sox, 4 to 1. /won again, | seven ‘their marker. As the Mackmen® the Johnsons are now games behind the league leaders, ue for a double celebration, as today marked the thirty-eighth anniversary of his birth and the fourteenth of hig marriage, but all he drew from the afternoon was a lot of grief. He granted but five scattered hits in, seven frames and performed well enough to win the average game, “Sad Sam” Jones had made plans. However, his mates not only failed to’ give him any support from the te, but an error by Dave Harris was re- sponsible for two of the Chicago runs The veteran went out via the pinch* hitter route, with Adolph Liska faeing the Sox their last turn at the plate. Caraway in Control ae Of Situation. ' Caraway literally had the Nationals eating out of his left hand. Of the four hits charged against him, Rice® double was a pop lost in the sun #y, Cissell; Harris’ triple was a high fiy,. on which Barnes managed to get both’ hands; Ruel'’s safety was on a bunt, * while Bluege’s. blow bounded off af. Ryan's glove. Naturally, the Wats. could not hope to win with m9. stronger an attack than was this, Car: way started off a little wobbly, filling the bases by granting two passes in the opener*after Rice had. hit, but thereafter he had practical¥- no troubles, an error by Cissell saifig” the Nats from being whitewashed. The Sox scored in the opener and the game was a heated one until 1.70 hits and Harris’ “boot” gave the na- tives three more runs in round seven, after which there was no doubt but what the Nats were in for theif’ twelfth licking of this Western trip, For five and one-half innings, Jones and Caraway staged an ‘old- fashioned pitching duel, during which the Nationals had been cred- ited with but one scratch hit and the Chisox with two. There had been three threats, but the only one which had materialized was that by the natives, which netted a run in the opening round. While Sox Score In First. After the Johnsons had “blown” ® golden opportunity in the first when Rice was given credit for a double on his tap which Cissell lost in the sun and two walks filled the bases with only one dead, the Sox molded’ It resulted from Wat-. opening double, Mulleavy# Continued’ on Page 13, Column &. | Wood's tems.

These rivals will clash on the South Ellipse at 1 o'clock a game which should rival last Sun- day's Olmsted Grill-Curtin game for crowd and intérest. - Johnny Wiles will probably be the choice of the O’Briens for mound duty, although Carter, who turned back the Senatofs last Sunday may get the assignment. The hopes of the Nolans to throw a wrench in the title plans of the O’Briens will prob- ably be placed in MclIlwee. He pitched six-hit ball in winning over the Metropolitans last week. Comforters to Meet Senators. The Holy Comforters and the Sena- tors, who are battling it out for second place, will clash on the South Ellipse at 3 o’clock. The Senators go into the battle with a half-game lead over their rivals. The Comforters are planning to use Turner on the mound with the Sena- tors countering with either Davis or Kramer. In the other section A game the Anacostia and Metropolitan Clubs meéeet:.on the East Ellipse at 1 o'clock. With the Olmsted Grill Nine rest- ing on its laurels in section B, the Majestics and the Lionels will meet in. the only clash in this division. The game is booked on diamond No. 4 at 3 o’clock. | Although neither team can better its position in the standing, the game is likely to Dring out baseball of the championship class. Manager Wyche is anxious that the Majestics finish with a record of six victories in ten starts.

Victory... ; ee é ee T": 1930 District rict American Le gion championship team may be crowned today when the Sergt. Jasper and Spengler Post nines clash on West Ellipse diamond at 1} o’clock in the first of three series games scheduled for that diamond. These two teams are tied at present for the second series lead and the winner stands almost assured of the second round honors. Sergt. Jasper’s young stalwarts can virtually bag the season's title and the right té carry on into the regional rounds, having previously annexted the first series title. A win over Spengler would practically assure Coach Suter and his charges of entry into the No. 10 regional tour- | nament to be held at Hagerstown | next month. Victory Team Still Has Chance. Spengler’s championship hopes hang almost entirely upon the ®ut- come of today’s struggle. Last Sun- day’s victory over the Victory Post Nine virtually established the Speng- ler Nine as the principal challenger, although Victory may still forge into the second round chempionship fight by winning over George Washington today and defeating Sergt. Jasper in the final contest next week. Sergt. Jasper Post's representatives romped through the first series un- defeated, easily defeating the Speng- ler Nine on the occasion of their first reverse the decision today remains to be seen. Should Sergt. Jasper win today, it has only to defeat Victory next week to lay undisputed claim to the District title and the right to carry On into the sectional cham- pionships. ' Pitchers to Carry Battle Brunt. Everett Russell and Francis Miller will both be available to do the pitching for the Sergt. Jasper Team today. Manager Hare will no doubt call his strike out artist, Meiklejohn, to the mound to carry Spengler’s title hopes. Both teams have been playing gilt edge ball in the second reund and coaches of both teams are expecting the brunt of the battle to fall upon the shoulders of their re- spective mound choices. In order to remain in the race, Vic- tory must defeat Gearge Washington, a weakened but dangerous foe. Lin- coln and Nash, both out of the*title race, will clash in the other contest carded today.

? THE WASHINGTON raid & ‘POST: : SUNDAY, .JULY 27, 1930: - ConsidineOut At Hands of Yeomans Victor in Upset to Play Mitchell for Title Today. DOUBLES CHAMPIONS AND SINGLES FINALISTS _ | es 2 Teams With Markey to Capture Crown in Doubles. HE upsetting of favorttes in the current Washington public parks championship tennis tourna- ment reached the climax when the defending champions both singles and doubles were elimi- nated. yesterday | in | In-the most sensational of all the | Surprises that have distinguished this tourmament from _ its Bob Considine. the singles champion, | and acknowledged to be the best ten- | nis player in the District, lost to Eddie Yeomans, University of North Carolina player, in a semifinal match, &—6. 8—6. In another upset the de- fending doubles champions, Maurice O'Neill and George Shoemaker, yield- ed their title to Yeomans and Bud Markey in the final, 6—3, 6—0, 6—1. Dooly Mitchell, winner of the sin- gies title in 1926 and 1927, won his semifinal match from Markey. 7—5, 3—6, 6—3. Today Mitchell and Yeo- mans wil] clash for the singles cham- pionship, the match ‘being listed to start at 3:30 p. m., on the Reservoir courts, Sixteenth and Kennedy streets. : Preceding the start singles final, the women’s singles fimal will start with Mrs. Ruth Mar- tinez opposing Miss Dorothy Kings- bury. This, like the men’s affair, should be evenly contested. Mitchell is seeded second and Markey sixth, but in view of the latter’s recent fine showing, critics are hesitant at pre- dicting the outcome. Young Yeomans, a Washington na- tive, who learned his tennis at Cen- tral High — showed the gallery of between 500 dnd 600 persons that he is fast coming to the front in local competition. Although it must be said that Considine did not per- form vp to his usual standard, Yeo- mans clearly earned the decision. Yeomans’ doubles triumph with Markey was a veritable rout, and O’Nelll and Shoemaker’ confessed afterward that their opposition was “too good” for them. Markey is a former Notre Dame star, having cap- tained the Irish tennis team in 1929 and reached the final of the Western intercollegiate tournament. Markey extended Mitchell, even for a short time giving the impression that he was the superior of the two, but Mitchell outlasted him. Plays to Considine’s Forehand. Against Considine, his head as well as his racquet.

He forced Bob to run miles and miles from corner to corner. ' Considine lacked his usual ‘stroke efficiency. He was guilty of many nets and outs that ordinarily escape | his record. But with such pace on) the ball as Yeomans gave it, he had. a reasonable excuse. The first set was deadlocked at 2—2 when Considine broke. through | to take the leaa.

Considine Rallies In Second Set. Greatly encouraged by his success, Yeomans hit a terrific pace second set which carried him out front by 4—1l1 in games. At this stage Con- sidine grew thoroughly sroused and opened a rally that pulled him level | at 4—4. The sudden turn in the tide went against Yeomans’ nerves, and he ap- peared to be blowing up. This was especially noticeable in the tenth game when he advanced to match point only to see Considine fighting back furiously to take the game and | tie the set at 5—~5. ; Considine broke Yeomans’ service In the eleventh to gain the lead, thus placing himself in a better position than he had yet enjoyed. But he fell down sadly in the twelfth game on his own service, and Yeomans, now fully composed, ran out the set and match. The doubles match was almost no contest. Yeomans and Markey com- piled the remarkable string of 12- game*victories starting with the last of the first set and ending with the sixth of the third set. An idea of how decisive the winners’ margin was may be gained from the totals in the stroke analysis. Yeomans and Mar- key made 29 placements to their rivals’ 6, 1 ace to none, 30 nets to 31, 20 outs to 24 and 2 double faults to eight. Shoemaker’s service was erratic throughout, this factor standing out boldly. He committed seven double faults. On the other hand, each of the winning duo had. splendid con- trol of his delivemy, putting pace with accuracy to keep the defending cham- pions continually at a disadvantage. Yeomans’ Drives Handcuff Foes. Yeomans used his burning fore- hand drive with the same effect as in the singles. O’Neill and Shoemaker were oftem handcuffed. Markey was best at the net, where many clever angle shots and smashes. He faltered on his service in the sixth game of the third set, ' ever, but by that time he may well have been weary of the monotony of the proceedings. Mitchell was given plenty of trouble by Markey in the singles. The former ‘Notre Dame star’s fine change of pace hat him puzzled.

Cochet fas carried his inscruti- ble court manner.to his private life and has offered a loquacious tennis world little to munch on, save his position as leading netman. With LaCoste, Tilden, and Borotra this matter of familiarity is different.

A shrug, a raised eye- brow seem to be sufficient expression for any emotion which generates and threatens to overboil during a heated match. He takes out any wrath he has on the ball. And, to wax some- what modern, how. It so happens that both he and LaCoste began playing in the same manner, used the same road to world honors; the practice wat Cochet's was the side of a house, when he was 7 years old. To it he attributes his amazing quickness at the net.

WEST’S TITLE IS WON BY LEHMAN Beats Couch, Fellow Chicagoan, 4 and 2, in Final Round. By PAUL MICKELSON. , EVERLY COUNTRY CLUB, Chi- cago, July 26 (A.P.). — Johnny Lehman, the erstwhile Hoosier farmer boy whose big war clubs have been impotent in championship play since he won the Big Ten title for Old’ Purdue three years ago, today crowned himself Western amateur golf champion. He captured the title by turning back the challenge of Ira Couch, the youthful Chicago star, 4 and 2, in the final. match after 64 holes over the stubborn Beverly Country Club. The triumph was a “natural” for Lehman, now one of Chicago’s hus- tling bond salesmen. Out of a field of 215 starters, he played the most consistently brilliant golf. He tied with Charles (Chick’ Evans, jr., of Chicago, for the medal with a 147 for the 36-hole qualifying test; captured his first match with par golf; toppled the defending champion, Don Moe, of Portiand, Oreg., and crushed T. Phil- lip Perkins the last of two British threats in the semifinal. He ended his march by shooting perfect golf on the final seven holes with Couch today to break a tie and triumph. Meets Evans Today In Play-Off Lehman will try to make a grand sweep tomorrow when he meets Evans |in an eighteen-hole play-off for the medal © . Couch, 3 down at the end of the morning eighteen holes, made a vali- ant fight in the first nine holes of the afternoon round to square the match on the twenty-fourth green and hold it even past the twenty- seventh green. On those nine holes he refused to give Lehman a chance with almost .par golf-while the new champion hooked and pitched his lead away. But the 3-putt ailment seized Couch on the short twenty-eighth and left him 1 down, a handicap that grew when he repeated his putting mistake on the thirtieth. After that Lehman breezed to victory with per- fect golf, adding finishing flourishes by winning the _ thirty-third and thirty-fourth. Texans Annex Honors In West Va. Tourney White Sulphur Springs, W. Vsa., July 26 (A.P.).—Texans . carried ‘over the honors in the annual West Vir- ginia open tennis tourney today when Jake Hess, fort Worth, won the men’s singles title and the team of Hess and Earl Taylor, Austin, won the men's doubles championship. Hess defeated P. L. Goldsborough, jr., Bal- timore, 7—5, 6—2, 7—5, to take the singles, and Hess and Taylor won from Sam Cohn and A. O. Smith, both of Beckley, W. Va., 4—6, 12—10, 7—5, to annex the doubles. ARMOUR TIES DIEGEL FOR TITLE Shoots Record 64 in Canada; Play-Off on Wednesday. P.)}.—A spectacular) 44, one of the lowest rounds in the history of competitive golf, today enabled Tommy Armour, Veteran Detroit pro, to tle Leo Diegel, of Agua Caliente, in the 72-hole Canadian open cham- pionship and to force a play-off for the title Diegel now holds. Five strokes behind the leader, Tony Manero, at the end of 54 holes of play, Armour burned up the course on the last round, taking 32 strokes on the first nine and 32 coming home, to turn in a grand total of 277. Diegel, who set a rec- ord of 274 in winning the title a year ago at Montreal, wound up his regular play with a brilliant 67 that gave him a tie with Armour for the lead. A. stroke back of this pair. was Johnny Farrell, of Mamaroneck N. Y., with 278, while Manero tied with Macdonald Smith, of New York, for fourth place with 279.. Sixth place was filled by another American, Wal- ter Hagen, of Detroit, whose. 70 on the fourth round gave him a total of 280. Thompeon Leads Canadians. The first Canadians in. the list were Nicol Thompson, sr., of Hamil- ton, and Lex Robson, of Toronto, who tied at 283 for seventh place: A stroke back of these were three more players from*the United States, Charles Lacey, of Philadelphia; Ed Dudley, of Wilmington, and. George von Elm, Detroit amateur. ‘The playoff for the title, the first in recent years in Canadian open golf history; will be held at 36 holes Wed- nesday over the course of the Hamil- ton Country Club. Until Armour and Diegel posted their scores late in the day, Farrell looked to be a certain winner. Only two strokes back of the leader after the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday, the former American open A tooass Ontario, July 26 (A. champion added a 70 to his total } on the third round this morning and then turned in a 69 this afternoon. This served to give him; the lead by a stroke over Manero and MacSmith. Word of Armour’s Rush Heard. A little later, however, word came that Armour was burning up the course and was in a spot where he could take the lead. The veteran Scot, after taking only 32 strokes on the . outgoing nine, started home 3—4—_4—_ 3_3—_ 33. at the seventeenth, but got. down in four at. the home hole for his 64. His card: Armour,. out.... Armour, in 344 333 354—32—64 Armour’s amazing performance clipped two strokes off the course record of 66 Arst established by J. Douglas Edgar, of Atlanta, when he won' the title here in 1919. Edgar’s figure has been equaled three times in the current tournament by Nicol Thompson, sf., Farrell and Lex Robson. : Diegel has won the Canadian open four. times in 1924-25-28-29.

Never Champion, But Often Runner-Up, Is' Mac Smith _TEW YORK, July 26 (A.P.).— Macdonald Smith, one of the brightest golfing stars Carnous- tie has sent to the United States, is like the girl in the advertisements— often a bridesmaid but never a bride. The great Scottish golfer has won scores of minor championships and has been runner-up in most of the big events for which he is. eligible, but never has won a major cham- pionship. At 40 years of*age, when golfers who play day in and day.out are sup- posed to have passed their prime, Mac Smith is able to finish second to Bobby Jones in the British and Amer- ican Open championship. One secret of Smith’s continued brilliance ts that he has taken great care of his physical welfare for many years. Although tall he is not robust, and hig almost frail physique forces him to conserve his strength. This causes him to take his tourna- ment golf in moderation and he is one of the few pros to play only when the golf spirit: moves him. ; Twenty years ago Mac Smith, then @ mere stripling from Scotland, who golfing ~ brothers in’ the United States, tied with his brother, the late Alex Smith, whose advice “Miss ‘em quick” has been quoted to putters around the world, and J. J. McDermott. Young Smith finished third in the play-off which was won by Alex and since then he has threatened many times. In 1913, when the great triple tie resulted between Francis Ouimet, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, Macdon- ald Smith was tied for fourth and he tied for fourth again in 1924. In 1928 he was in a tie for sixth. He had his great chance to win the British Open in 1925 when he started 7 76 and then was smothered by the gallery in the fourth round and limped in with a blighting 82, to finish .in fourth place three strokes behind Long Jim es, . the winner. He was third in the British classic in 1923, although he started with a score of 80. He followed, however, with 73—69—75. He tied for third the next year: — This year he was two strokes be- o~ and there was the same difference in the American Open, a ites s: ‘ am ; hind Bobby Jones in the British Open ssitie ge 5.

N important decision affecting a play in the invitation tourna- ment of the Columbia Country Club about a month ago was rendered yesterday by William C. Fownes, of the rules of golf c-mmittee of the United States Golf Association. The question involved has been the sub- ject of discussion ever since the tour- nament was held. In a match-play round between two of the .contestants in the first six- teen, W.-Cariton Evans, a member of the club, and A. H. Urban, an unat- tached player, who had been invited to participate in the event, both play-"|’ ers landed their second shots on the tenth green. Urban walked up to a ball and putted it tovard the hole. It was then discovered that he had played Evans’ ball.. As neither player knew what penalty, if any, was in- curred by the error, they decided to continue the match. If Urban, who had replaced the wrong ball,and then putted with his own ball, had halved the hole, the result of the match was his victory on the sixteenth green, 3 and 2. If he had lost the hole, then the match was all square on the eighteenth tee and Evans won the nineteenth hole. Many Opinions Expressed. Naturally, the incident occasioned considerable conversation with al- most as many opinions expressed as there were players who participated in the aiscussion. Everything de- pended upon the interpretation of rule 20, which deserves’ to be quoted in full, as follows: Rule 20-—Playing opponent’s ball. the aermasa's ball ess replaced. In the exhaustive investigation made by the golf tournament com- mittee it was found that the facts were not disputed. It was conceded that there had been no “wrong in- formation.” On the contrary, it was shown that Evans, before Urban played, had asked if Urban was play- ing the right ball. However, as the mistake: had been discovered before Evans played, it was argued that Urban had a right to rectify his mis- take by placing Evans’ ball as near as possible to the place from which he had putted it toward the cup. The whole question depended upon whether the words “the mistake’ in the second part of clause “b” of the rule-referred to “the mistake” men- tioned in the first clause of the rule as due to wrong information. McLeod Decided Urban Had Lost Hole. Fred McLeod, the professional at the club. who knows the rules as well as you know the alphabet, de- cided that Urban had lost the hole— a decision which Urban had already made for himself when the incident occurred on the tenth green—and the golf coOmmittee rendered a similar verdict, after hearing a quadrupled repetition of the facts as related by the principals in the case. This ac- tion, however, was not accepted by many members of the club, who claimed to be experts on the inter- pretation of the rules, and it was finally decided to submit the whole matter, with a full statement, to the United States Golf Association. The decision df the national body sustains the golf committee of the club. ‘The committee's ruling,” says the official decision, “was correct. The player is relieved of the penalty only in case wrong information was given by the opponent of his caddie, The words of section (b) ‘if the mis- take be discovered,’ are intended only to define a procedure when wrong information has been given.” Evans Glad Incident Ie Settled. “I am very glad that the question has been officially settled,” said Ev- ans yesterday. “I did not want to, take the match when there was any question about it, but the golf com- mittee told me that I had won the hole and evénually the match, and to go ahead with my afternoon contest. It seems to me, however, that the rule ought to be changed so as to remove any possibility of doubt as to its interpretation. As it stands now, there is certainly ground for an honest difference of opinion, but as the question will undoubtedly arise in other tournaments, I am glad that we have secured a definite ruling to guide future action.” Wesley Netmen Bow To Capital-Lakeview Capital-Lakeview defeated Wesley Heights, 5-2, yesterday in a Suburban League tennis match.

While nothing definite has yet been determined, the Bannockburn com- mittee believes that there would be substantial interest among Washing- ton golfers, espectally as it has been some time since an event of. this character has been staged in this section and also because no admis- sion would be charged. The problem is, of course, a financial one as a purse of not less than $300 should be provided for the winner, with ad- ditional prize money for the four or five leaders. While no hope is entertained of securing golfing stars like Horton Smith, Macdonald Smith, Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour, é&c., promises of par- ticipation have already been received from a number of professionais in this section and if these promises are realized, there will be real comrett- tion between players like Ed Dudley, of Wilmington; Charles Lacey, Will- iam Leach and others in the Philadet- phia section, and with a large at- tendance of: professionals in the Mid- dle Atlantic district. Many years have passed since there has been an open tournament in this section, the outstanding event, of course, being the national Open at Columbia in 1921. In the following year there was a professional invi- tation tournament at Columbia which was won by Jock Hutchison, with Johnny Farrell as runner-up. Two Middle Atlantic open championships have been held, the first at Burning Tree sOMe years ago and more re- cently, in 1927, at Indian Springs, when Fred McLeod and Leo Diegel tied for first place, Diegel winning the play-off. Sandy Armour Predicts Future for Virginia Williams. “Sandy” Armour, professional at the Congressional Country Club, has a promising young ‘woman pupil . in the person of Miss Virginia Williams, daughter of A. C. Williams. Although she has only recently taken up the game, she négotiated’ the course. last week in a most creditable 88—43 out and 45 in—with several pars and a birdie 2 on the ninth hole. In her next round she scored 89. Armour predicts that ere long Miss Williams will be a factor in women’s golf com- petitions in the District. E. M. Talcott has won the Morven Thompson Memorial Cup in _ the Seniors Golf Association tournament at the Chevy Chase Club. He de- feated Admiral Taylor en the seveh- teenth green, 3 and 1. The members of this active association are now Peompeting in match play for a cup donated by Maj. H. A. Gillis. John Thacker, one of the: younger members of the Bannockburn Club, playing with Middleton Beaman, last week scored 69 on the Banfiotkburn course, 34 out and 35 in, His card: 354443483 4—34 63544353 3—35—69 Beaver Dam Club Pioneer in Honoring Ladies. the Beaver Dam Club last week was unique in the fact that the club be- came the pioneer in paying homage to its women golfers. There was,every reason for the tribute because the guests of honor were Mrs. Betty Meckley, District woman champion; Mrs. Alma von Steinner, winner of the Phylis Keeler Miller Memorial; Mrs. Marion Shipley, winner of the General Himes Cup, and Mrs. Ora Emge, runner-up in.the Evening Star Cup event. : President Brashears, who acted as master of ceremonies, stated that the women of Beaver Dam had brought more prestige to the club than had been given to any other club in this section by. capturing every impor- tant event so far scheduled this year for women in this territory. M. H. Maier, chairman of the golf com- mittee, added qa cordial word of praise for the accomplishments of the wo- men and said that he expected the men players soon to begin winning trophies. Other speakers were Vice President Wright, Secretary Davis and Treastrer White. The guests of honor fittingly responded. The occasion was a great success in every way and the club spirit mani- fested indicates a brilliant future for Beaver Dam. In this connection it should be added that in the recent women’s gaif championship of the Mohawk Country Club, Schenectady, N. Y., where Mrs. Meckley is a member, she Was the medalist and reached the semi-final round when she was de- feated although she hada score of 87. Mrs. Meckley was a previous win- ner “of the Mokawk womems’ champ- ionship and last year finished as runner-up. Word was received last week that George J. Voigt, who has climbed to heights of golfing fame since he left Washington, will be in town in the near future for a brief visit. It is expected that some _ exhibition matches will be arranged during his stay here. Natural “Birdie” Found in Cup. | Jack Burgess, of the Indian Spring Club, playing last week with C. D. Duffies, holed out on the first green. At the bottom of the cup was a fledgling killidee which, having wandered from its nearby nest, had dropped into the cup and was un- able to get out. The «ind-hearted golfers carried the little bird to the neighboring rough and hoped that it would eventually find its nest.

He glee- fully announced that he had played the incoming nine in 34 strokes, one under par, for a total of 79 for the . eighteen holes, and with three. 3s and three 4s on his card for the last six holes. | A glance at the handicap - board showed that he has a comparatively high handicap. In order to avoid complications with the handicap committee, his name is generously suppressed. If he wants to make con- fession to the committee, all will be forgiven. Arthur B. Thorn, profesisional at the Woodmont Gish” ented last week that although he failed to qualify at Interlachen, he would not have missed the event for anything in the world. “If I had played as well on the first day as I did on the second,” he remarked, “I would ‘have qualified, I had 77 on the second day, but my €2 in my initial:round was ‘fatal. It was due to the“fact that I -had “to Play several shots out of the rough and I was handicapped’ by dack of familiarity with the tricky ns.

The early season “‘ringér” tourna- ment for women at the Bannockburn Club has been won by Mrs,. J.. O. Rhyne with a best-ball of 71, eight strokes under the women’s par. Mrs, Middleton Beaman and Mrs. R. CG. Dunbar tied for second place with 73, William Asher, of the Columbia Club, son of Clyde B. Asher, scored an eagle 2 on the Columbia course last week.

Did you ever see a “chipper?” It ig certainly a remarkable looking club, with a convoluted neck like one of the Goofus animals. It is a deadly instrument in Hudson’s hands. Houghton and Aulbach Veterans in National Play. A.

Lauriano Carlo de Villanueva, high official of the Paris branch of the Na- tional City Bank of New York, it was revealed by two friends who had sought him’ out, joined the Spanish Foreign Legion in the Riff, Morocco, after he fiéd this city July 7 with alleged shortage of between $250,000 and $500,000 funds of his South American acquaintances against him. Villanueva’s brother-in-law, M. Bo- cunten, called at the palace of jus- tice today and told the magistrate appointed to search into Villanueva’s case that the missing banker had en- listed under the name of Alexander Avial and had been found at a mountain post in the Riff. Had Been Thought Dead. Villanueva had been thought dead. “The police had reported finding ot . Clothing’ supposed to be his on the beach of a seaside resort, but two of his intimates, in a manner not di- vulged, traced him to Africa, where it bécamie verified the young bank exec- utive fled in an effort to lose himself to the world. His friends, Henri Couturier and M. de Montbrison, went to Morocco, pleaded with him to return and face the charges against him and if pos- sible clear ,his name. Villanueva, former commercial at- .» tache of the Venezuelan legation at _.Paris and son of a’ former charge @’affaires, cansented. He agreed that tf the Spanish government would can- cel the enlistment he would go back to Paris.. The friends, returning to France today set in motion the ma- ohinery to bring that about. The -French minister of war was asked to intervene with the Spanish govern- ment in Villanueva’s. behalf. The brother-in-law, accompanied by at- torneys, appealed to the examining magistrate and informed him their frierid was ready to stand trial. Bank Denies Shortage. A-Madame Goméz, wealthy Vene- ‘puelan, preferred the particular charge upon which the Department of Jus- tice had been hunting the vanished banker. “She alleged that Villanueva had illegally taken funds she en- trusted to him for investment. _ Others had stated the view that the * French government should bring back the missing man wherever found, prosecute criminally, and, if conviction was unobtainable, give them opportunity to proceed against Sim in the civil courts for recovery of their money. . National .City .Bank officials made the statement that there was no - ghortage in the bank’s funds. If any money had been misappropriated the transaction was personal between Vil- lanueya and his acquaintances. The losers declared the bank liable becausé. they believed themselves dealing with an authorized representa- tive of the institution. | Villanueva was one of the few executives invest- ed with power of attorney to sign documents for the bank.

I do not purpose, in this narrative, to retell that story, but to point out some of the interest- ing phases of some of the greatest earthquakes, tak my facts from sacred and from prefane history. Theory of Scientists, Not all the scientists discard the earthqu the Bible.- One of the foremost living geologists, Prof. George McCready Price, an American who is now teaching in an English university, holds tenaciously to them, and in his books on geology he proves, to many Open minds, that & reat tremor accom led the Noahic ood of 2,500 B. C. He has found evidences of this all over the world, and it is the only way, he says, by which he can understand how the rocks of the oldest geologic age are to be found on top and the rocks of the youngest geologic age on the bottom of many formations. If the earth, says he, were built up as Lyell and most geologists claim it was, by a sort of onion coat process, layer on top of layer, the oldest rocks should be at the bottom and the youngest on top, and the fossils found on top should be the youngest and those on the bottom the oldest. How the earth came to be turned topsy turvy is only to be explained by an earthquake, this eminent scientist concludes. To a layman this sounds sensible. Many scientists, I know, discount the Price theory, and call him 4 “quack;” but somehow they have not disproved his theory. Moses received the Ten Command- ments on Mount Sinai in a scene that for sheer description is unequaled in literature: “And Mount Sinai was al- together on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” It was amid such a scene of terror as this that God. gave the wandering tribes of Israel the great moral law. Rebellion of Korah One of the celebrated events in the history of this migration was the re- bellion of Korah and Dathan and Abiram. It Was a rebellion against God’s authority. Moses was com- manded to separate the children of Israel from Kor: g and his household, and though he pleaded for Korah’s following it was to no avail. And this is how Korah was punished: “And it came to pass as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: and the earth opened up her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained. unto Korah, and all their goods.” This was in the year 1471 B. C. If Mosés did not write the Pentateuch, as some s0-Called scholars aver, who- ever did certainly knew his. earth- quakes, There are & number of references to earthquakes in the Bible, both in the Old and in the New Testament, and in every instance the event recorded is miraculous—that is, “mysterious.” God uséd the earthquake, according to Holy Writ, to enforce his power among men. It was thus He appeared to Elijah on Mount Horeb; it was thus He appeared at the Crucifixion; and it was thus He appeared at the Resurrection, The prophet Amos be- gins his little book by dating it first by the reigns of earthly kings—Uzzian and Jeroboam—and then by a mighty event that must have been historic among the Jews: “two~-years before the earthquake.” This was in 1787 B. C. It must have been a terrible event, for Zechariah, in 487 B. C., re- -calls..to-the errant .Jews how their fathers “fled from before the earth- quake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah)” Characteristics Described. None of the modern writers has improved upon the description of these writhings of nature as they are to be found in the oldest book we have. They all describe the same characteristics, and because of the smoke and the steam and the dust that have accompanied so many of them it was long believed that they were of volcanic origin. There must be a kinship between the two, but just what it is has not yet been fully discovered by men offscience. There was no volcano at Lisbon nor at San Francisco, though the latter is near a dormant burning moun- tain, Mount Lassen, and yet both had the same ‘ visitation—first the tre- mor, then the gaping earth, then ‘the buildings thrown down, then the fire and then the tidal waves. Naples, of course, lies under Vesuvius, and it is easy to connect thé memorable quakes there with the activities of that volcano, which, in the days be- fore Christ, was not a volcano at yall, but a peaceful old mountain. Mount Aetna has been “the most destructive volcano in history, and it and the quakes in its vicinity have devastated Sicily and Galabria time without numbers. We have a fairly accurate record dating from 1137, A. D., and no century since than has been unmarked with its violence, or Sicily been free from an earthly tremor. You can not explain the Charleston earthquake nor that in the Missis- sippi valley in 1811 by volcanic ac- tion, but each one had character- istics similar to all others, and that of the Mississippi valley is very much like the worst one recorded jm the Bible, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other cities of the Plain. For a long time people did not believe that there had been such Places as Sodom and Gomorrah; -the story of the destruction of these cities wag said to be Jewish folk lore; but only yesterday archeologists un- coyered the ruins of Sodom and Go- morrah and found pottery and clay tablets and implements showing that the history in the Bible is true and that thé people who dwelt in those rer had a highly developed civiliza- In this instance the earthquake cha the whole aspect of nature. It leveled hills and upreared the plains, and where a great hill long stood there appeared suddenly the Dead Sea, which is dead to this day, 4,000 years later. Mississippi Valley Quake. In the great earthquake of 1811 the whole Mississippi Valley, from Cairo to Natchez, was changed; hills were thrown down And in their place came a chain of lakés, Reelfoot Lake in west Tenriessée being the most notable One. The town of New Madrid in Missouri was lifted up and when the ¢arth Opened the church and the grave yard sank into thé chasm and the chasm cldsed over them. This is no fairy story. People actually caw it when it happened. . One of the most interesting ac- counts we have of eyewitness of the tremor of 1811 has come down to us in some letters written by Mrs. Nicholas Roosevelt, of New York. who was, I believe, the grandmother of the President. Her husband built the first’ steamboat that ever ran on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and she accompanied him, over the protest o! her friends; on the initial trip from Pittsburgh to. Natchez. When the boat raeched the falls above Louis- ville they heard the first detonations of the quake and then for 1,000 miles and for 40 days théy rode down the Ohio to Cairo and thence down Big Muddy to Natchez amid such terrors as eye of man has seldom seen. “ Mrs. Roosevelt described the up- as they went on heavals of nature ~— ascended as the | and ashes and the volcanic eruptions, QUAKE HELD BLOW OF GOD List of Greatest Quakes Of All Time and Their Toll B.C. 2448—Noahic deluge.

The muddy stream itsel! seemed to be alive with the strange energy that was shaking the earth, for it rose and fell and hissed and roared as if alive with sea serpents. How the little steamer rode it out no one knows, but she finally reached Natchez, where Andrew Jackson met his dear Rachel for their second mar- Triage, and there the Roosevelts had a strange and unbelieveable tale to tell. This earthquake had one marking that has been a part of probably all of them. Accompanying the tremor was a darkness of the sun. This, it will be remembered, was character- istic of the earthquake that accom- panied the crucifixion. ‘Abraham, the next day after the destruction of the cities of the plain, saw that “the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.” In many ac- counts of tremors that have come down to us the darkening of the sun, and as the days went by the chang- ing of its color to indescribable hues of lovéliness, are noted. This is to be explained on natural grounds by pthe presence of ash and dust particles in the air following the explosion of the tremor, : Earthquake at Lisbon. An English merchant, Mr. Davy, was in Lisbon during the period of the great earthquake of 1755, and history and science, too, have relied on his vivid narrative for a descrip- tion of that event. One of the first. things that attracted his notice, after being aroused by the initial tremor, was the appearance of the heavens: “The sky in a moment became so gloomy that 1 could now distinguish no particular object; it was an Egyp- tian darkness, indeed, such as might be felt.” You have heard of pitch dark. Here it was. The San Francisco earthquake had a comparatively small life 1 §2— and in these great earthquakes it is not always the tremor that kills the largest number of people. Mr. Davy’s narrative is a good guide to illuminate this point. After racing through the city and seeing the dead and dying on all sides of him—the largest num- ber of them were caught in .their churches, to which they ran when the first tremor was felt—the Eng- lishman found himself on top of the highest hill in the city, where were gathered many thousands of Lisbon- 8. more than 60,000; and though the damage in other respects can not be computed, yet you may form some idea of it, when I assure. you that this extensive and opulent city is now nothing but a vast heap of ruins; that the rich and poor are at present upon a level, some thou- sands of families, which but the day before had been in easy circum-- stances,. being now scattered about in the fields, wanting every convenience of life, and finding none able to re- lieve them.” Estimate of Humboldt. Humboldt, the great geographer, estimated that the portion of the earth’s surface cofnvulsed by this earthquake was four times greater than the whole extent of Europe shocks were felt in Scotland and in Africa and at the Madeira Islands and in Canada and the West Indiés But it was a mere child by the side of what Prof. W J McGee, of the Smithsonian Institution said was “the most violent earthquake in his- tory,” that at Kratakoa in the Sunda Straits in 1883. Did you ever hear of Kratakoa and this quake? If the record were not authentic— if scientists had not checked it at the time and many times since—it would be almost unbelievable. Thirty-seven thousand persons were drowned. That is believable. The tidal wave that started with that tremor moved with amazing rapidity and kept moving until it was felt at Harve, 11,000 miles away as it travel- ed. That is unbelievable; but it was proven to be so, The dust that fol- lowed the great explosion shot 17 miles in the air-—a German sea cap- tain measured it—it was caught up by a hurricane, traveling “at double the speed of an express train’—that is 120 miles an hour, which is prob- ably the record for a hurricane—and carried across the Indian ocean across Africa, over the Atlantic the Madeira Islands, across to Brazil, over the Andes to the Pacific, where it lost itself. Wherever it went it changed the face and the color of the heavens and the sun—one place the sun was seen a vivid green, another a ruddy red and so on through the prism of colors. in all parts of the werld immediately after the Kratakoa earthquake were of extraordinary beauty.” I believe that just as I believe Sodom and Go- morrah. Kratakoa was one of a group of beautiful islands, all standing high above’ the sea. For 200 years on the “The consternation now became so main universal,” says he, “that the shrieks and cries of the frightened people could be distinctly heard from the top of St. Catherines Hill, a consider- able distance off, whither a vast num- ber of the populace had likewise re- treated. At the same time we could hear the fall of the parish church there, whereby many persons were killed on the spot, and others mor- tally wounded. On a sudden I heard & general outcry: ‘The sea is com- ing in we.are lost!’ Turning my eyes toward the river, which at this place is nearly 4 miles broad, I could per- ceive it heaving and swelling in a| “At St. Lucia Bay, Borneo, 1,116 most unaccountable manner, as no milee distant, some natives heard the wind was stirring.

The rumble that went on for several days sounded like a great artillery battle. It was so loud at Batavia, 100 miles away, that people there could not sleep.

London, July 26 (A.P.).—Mrs. Clare Shéridan, Engiand’s foremost woman sculptor, is off to Algeria to live on the edge of the Sahara desert. An Arab stone mason has been building a home for her at Biskra for three years and now she is going there to try it out. She is a cousin of Winston Churchill and has lived in Biskra much of the time since her husband was killed in the war. Frankly she is looking for adven- ture and stimulation for her work. She is philosophical about it, too. “One may hunt far afield for it and not. find it.” she said. “One may find it at home without looking for it.

Announcement of the awarding of four special scholarships to foreign students was made yesterday at the School of Foreign Service of George- town University in accordance with its established policy of promoting Intellectual relationships with other countries. The recipients of the scholarships are: Baron Dreyhausen-Ehrenreich of Vienna, Austria; Galo Plaza, son of-a former President of Ecuador: Count Hans von Hardenberg, of Ber- lin; and Jiri Kalousek, of Czecho- siovakia. With the exception of Senor Plaza, who is already in Wash- ington as-an attache of his country’s legation, the foreign students will come here in time to enter the school in October. They intend to follow careers in the foreign service. Nevils Inaugurated Policy. Scholarships for students of vari- ous foreign countries, particularly in South America, were established at the school some years ago when Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., president of Georgetown, was regent of the foreign service department. During the past year students from 21 foreign countries were enrolled at the school. A nunfber of these were holders of special scholarships. Baron Dreyhausen-Ehrenreich, who comes of an old Austrian family, was recommended for the scholarship by the Austrian minister in Washington, the Austro-American Institute of Ed- ucation in Vienna, the Institute of International Education in New York and others. -At present he is a student in the well-known Consular Academy of Vienna and intends to enter the foreign service of his coun- try after completion of work at Georgetown. The holder of the German scholar- ehip, Count von Hardenberg, has becn ursuing courses at the University of ausanne and the University of Mu- nich. He was recommended by the German Students’ Exchange of Berlin and the Institute of Internationa: Education. To Pursue Graduate Studies. Mr. Kalousek, of Czechoslovakia, is one of the best equipped of the for- eign students entering Georgetown in recent years. He has had one year in the law school of the University of Brno: two years at the Hochschule fur Politik in Berlin; and two years at the famous Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques of Paris. From each of the latter schools he has re- ceived a diploma. At Georgetown he will pursue graduate studies. The last holder of a scholarship from Ecuador at Georgetown was Carlos Mantilla, who, like Senor Plaza, is an attache of the legation in Washington. A number of South American countries are represented by scholarship men. They include Rafael Gomes, of Colombia, who was recommended by the recently elected President of Colombia, Dr. Enrique Olaya, former minister at Washing- tion, and Raul Diaz de Medina, son of the Bolivian minister and an at- tache of the legation.

FIGHTS LIQUOR PLEA BY GLAGoIMAN Demurrer Filed to Action by Defendant, Based on Checks Evidence. ARGUMENTS ON TUESDAY The Government, through United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and As- sistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw, yesterday filed a de- murrer to the plea in bar to trial filed Friday in District of Columbia §Su- preme Court on behalf of Herbert Glassman, who with twelve other men, is under indictment on a charge of conspiracy to violate the national pro- hibdtion act. Glassman in his plea alleged that the action of the Government in pre- senting his canceled checks, sub- penaed from a local bank was tanta- mount to making him testify against himself without immunity which he would have been granted if he, him- self, had been forced to testify, and raised the question as to whether canceled checks held at a bank are the property of the institution or of the person who draws them. The Government’s demurrer attacks the plea on the grounds that the mat- ters and things set forth are not properly pleadable in bar; that they infringe no constitutional rights of the defendant, and that provisions of section 30 of the national prohibition act have application only to natural persons. Section 30 of the act guarantees immunity to persons testifying as to violation of the prohibition act, but does not cover documentary evidence, according to Mr. Burkinshaw. More than 20 pleas in abatement to the indictment were filed on behalf of Glassman, but. the court recently decided in favor of the Government, sustaining the latter’s demurrers and replications to the respective pleas Attorney Alvin L. Newmyer was no- tified yesterday that argument on his newest plea and the demurrers has been calendared for Tuesday. 25-Year Term Meted To Craps Game Slayer Isaiah Potter, Negro, convicted by a District of Columbia Supreme Cour. jury last month on a chargevof second degree murder in connection with the slaying of Stanley T.

WARINING TO FILE TAX RETURNS BROADCAST With Four Days Left, Only 17,000 of Expected 60,000 Blanks Are Filled. DODGERS FACE PENALTY Declaring that persons who {fail to file personal tax returns with the District this month are shirking their duty to support the National Capi- tal, Charles A. Russell, assistant tax assessor, in an addresg broadcast by Station WMAL at 6:45 o’clock last night warned that “every means in its power” will be employed by the District to uncover and punish tax dddgers. Filing of personal tax returns in July was made mandatory this year and persons residing in Washington for three months or more prior to July 1 are considered residents within the scope of the personal tax law, Mr. Russell warned. Persons failing to file returns are subject to a penalty of a 20 per cent. increase in the assessment of their tangible ~and intangible personal property as well as the penalty for failing to pay the tax and “all the costs of the proceedings,” Mr. Rus- sell said. Believing that many persons are holding back from filing personal tax returns because they fear they will be called to account for failing to file returns in past years, Mr. Rus- sell declared that the tax assessor had adopted a policy of dealing only with returns due this year. Persons who file returns, he said, will not be questioned about what-they did last year or other years and no effort will be made to punish for failure to file in the past. Only 17,000 personal returns have been filed so far and only four more days remain within which returns must be filed to comply with the ‘law. The assessor’s office will open at 8:30 o’clock each morning and remain open until 5 o’clock in the afternoon to receive Se gs and a corps of ex- perts will be hand at the office to assist persons to fill out returns. Questions about which persons are doubtful will be answered at the office or over the telephone for those who make inquiry, Mr. Russell said. A minimum of 60,000 returns was ex- pected this year.

The demoralized condition of the na- tional Democratic party has given its leaders, or would-be leaders, great con- cern ever since the election of 1928. The debacle of that year, the worst in his- tory, left the party without either leader or policy. It was literally cut in two, and now, like the*serpent of’ folk- lore, it is trying to unite head and tail. | But its efforts are impeded by warring elements in its own body. Northern and Southern Democrats are apparently not only unable but unwilling to join hands, The national chairman seems to have faded from the picture entirely, and yet he is fastened to the party in spite of the opposition of the entire Southern end. The question now is whether the head shall wag the tail, or the tail wag the head. Democrats in Congress appear to have concluded that. the. best. plan to pursue in the circumstances is to divert. attention from Democratic demoraliza- tion by, emphasizing the embarrass- ments a the Republican o Zar ization The Republican party is bidditig“adr to Chairman Huston, whose usefulness is plainly at an end. Democrats make much of this, and their jibes: are very keen, very apropos and very embarrass- ing: But, after all, the Republican party is- moving: toward solid unity and ag; gressive action in the next campaign. The impartial observer would probably say to the Democratic party, “Go thou and do likewise.” Political campaigns have proved over and over again that a party can not hope to succeed by pursuing a negative and destructive policy. Mere attacks upon the opposition, however keen and however embarrassing, do not convince voters: that the critics possess a con- structive program. Senator Watson instantly accepted the challenge of Senator Harrison and other Democrats who proposed to make the tariff the chief issue between the parties in the next campaign. If the campaign should hinge upon the tariff the Republicans will have the better of the argument. They have at least attempted to protect American industry, labor and agricul- ture. As compared with nothing at all, this is constructive. The voter will ask What would the Democrats have done, if they had been in power? Would they have denied protectiog to industry, labor and agriculture? To the extent of their ability they obstructed passage of the tariff act. There was nothing helpful to the country in that action. What the country would like to see is a militant and well organized Demo- cratic party, with capable leaders and a.set of conStructive policies. Then, if the Republican party. should fail to make good, it could be turned out with- out danger to the country. As matters now stand the people are compelled to keep the Republican party in power. There is no other organization prepared to administer the Government. ——— POSTOFFICE RENTS, Postmaster General Brown’s hope that the Government will soon provide buildings of its own for the Postal Serv- ice is shared by the public. The rental of 6,500 buildings at an annual cost of approximately $17,000,000 is a waste of public funds. As a matter of econ- omy — business—to use the rown—the Government tear yh. most, if not all, of these buildings. This situation does not in any way reflect upon the ae. of the ape a a administration. During the World War the Government suspended its normal building program as a matter of course. At the same time there was an enor- mous increase in parcel post and other mail. It became necessary to lease buildings to secure additional space. In some cases the Government contracted to lease buildings to be subsequently erected especially for postal services. Under these conditions the depart- ment was at a disadvantage and had to take the best bargains it could get. Rents at that time were high, building ‘46; Was expensive and capital commanded apyremium. Building owners made and are making good profit. In some in- stances a year’s rent amounts to 10 per cent of the full Value of the property. It will take many years for the Gov- ernment to catch up on its postoffice construction, but in view of the econo- 5 mies involved it is worth while to make an extra effort. To this extent Mr. :|Brown’s campaign to reduce the postal deficit will not lack support. When- ever better business methods can _ be adopted to cut down contributions from the Treasury an actual economy is ef- fected. But when postage rates are increased an additional tax is levied upon the people without any compen- sating economy. A profit is already made from letter mail, and funds used by the department for other than postal purposes do not justify a higher rate. When every economy has been effected there will be no objection to the re- maining deficit. RELATIONS WITH CUBA. President Machado of Cuba has full warrant for the hope that commercial relations between Cuba and the United States will be improved, notwithstand- ing the increased duty upon sugar. In- asmuch as the old tariff rate was equiv- alent to a duty of 100 per cent ad valorem, the increase is a severe blow to Cuba. But President Machado be- lieves that the sugar producers can take counsel together and work out their salvation. Perhaps economies can be effected in the manufacture or mar- keting of sugar, and in spite of the in- creased. duty the demand for Cuban Sigar remains. The added duty is not sufficient: to stimulate beet sugar pro- duction to.any great extent, notwith- the éxaggerated statements made by beet sugar lobbyists during terests could obtain lower freight rates they might have some hope of, captur- ing the Eastern market, but they can not successfully compete with Cuba as matters. stand.. The confident expressions by Presi- dent Machado touching the funda- mental relations of Cuba and the United States are reciprocated by the majority.of Americans, in spite of the vote in Congress for an increased duty on sugar. This vote was not inspired by animosity toward Cuba. It was largely made up of coalition elements that ran amuck not only with regard to sugar, but with other commodities, all in the name of “farm relief.” Farmers as a whole are consumers and not pro- ducers of sugar, and if their sentiments could have been obtained the increased duty would not have been levied. The sugar duty is the least defensible of all the items in the Smoot-Hawley act. The United States and Cuba are linked together by nature and political history in such fashion as to~- make ‘leconomic cooperation a necessity. They can not live apart, ignoring each other’s existence. The United States has assumed responsibility before the world for the independence of Cuba— and Cuba’s independence and its wel- fare are inseparable. If the United States should deprive Cuba of its eco- nomic welfare the folly of the act would to Cuba the political independence it would have lost. If anything has been made certain by solemn pledge and formal act, it is the determination of the United States that Cuba shall be free and independent. Therefore, eco- nomic policies that foster Cuba’s free- dom and independence are the essence of American statesmanship in dealing with Cuba. President Machado per- ceives this fact more clearly than it was perceived by the majority in Con- ess. His confidence is based upon nowledge of the true character of Cuban-American relations. and Cuba can be increased by the more liberal parcel post arrangements have just been made. Tariff rates will not be affected by the new post convention, but trade will greatly stimulated by the removal of handicaps = have worked to the disadvantage of both Americans and Cubans. The United States long ago adopted the policy of tariff reciprocity with the tariff debates. If the beet sugar in-_ Commerce between the United States. Cuba, and will not abandon that policy. The reciprocity treaty benefits’ the United States, and will benefit it more, This reciprocity is identical with the “imperial preference” arrangement be- tween Great Britain and Canada. The United States makes no complaint when the British mother and Canadian daughter maintain especially close eco- nomic ties, and no nation has a right to object when the United States, as a means of inspiring Cuba’s independ- ence, makes special trade arrangements with that republic. Before the next session of Congress it is expected that President Hoover will visit Cuba. An improvement in trade relations should be the outcome of his visit. The prosperity of Cuba is so inseparable from its independence that President Hoover can not fail to be im- pressed by the desirability of working out plans for closer commercial ties be- tween the two countries. =—_—_=_ THE GOVERNMENT’S SHARE. If the special committee of the House charged with making an inquiry into fiscal conditions in the District of Co- lumbia is really anxious to ascertain how much the Federal Government should contribute toward the upkeep of the municipality it should set down an estimate of what it would cost the Gov- ernment to maintain its plant here if there were no municipality. The Government must have all. the conveniences necessary for its proper functioning. It must have an abun- dance of water, good lights, spacious streets, ample seweragé connections, police surveillance, courts of justice, traffic control, and suitable facilities for construction and repair. It should also have an elastic market from which to draw labor as needed. Its great cleri- cal force should be adequately housed and supplied with school, market, amusement and church facilities. The Federal Government has been ob- taining all these advantages ai an ex- penditure of $9,000,000 a year. No other first-rate government in the world obtains such advantages at such a price. The cost of these advantages is obvi- ously many times greater than the fig- ure named. Who makes up the bal- ance? ee : After making full allowance for such utilities and conveniences as pay their own way, it is still apparent that the United States*is profiteering at the ex- pense of the taxpayers of the District of Columbia. These taxpayers are pay- ing a large part of the cost of water, sewers, streets, lights, traffic control, police protection, schools, churches, markets, and other facilities enjoyed by the Government. The total annual cost of government here is about $45,- 000,000. While it is not possible to fig- ure down to the dollar what the Govern- ment should pay for its facilities, and what thé taxpayers should contribute, the committee can at least make an approach to the problem by estimating what. the Government would be com- pelled to pay if there se no munici- pality here. That proportion of benefits from municipal facilities which the Govern- ment enjoys is properly chargeable to the taxpayers of the United States; that is, the burden should be borne by the Treasury as the necessary expendi- ture for maintaining the seat of gov- ernment. The taxpayers of the District should not be required to pay more than is paid by other taxpayers for the cost of the seat of government. Many years ago an impartial study convinced Congress that an equal divi- sion of the burden was a fair bargain for the Government and the people of the District. Congress thereupon ap- propriated annually a sum equal to that have to be atoned for later by restoring {contributed by District taxpayers. This arrangement was elastic, and made al- lowance for increased budgets as the municipality expanded and the Govern- ment’s needs increased. Ever since Congress abandoned that arrangement there has been confusion and dissen- sion. The growth of the District has been impeded, its schools have become dilapidated and inadequate, its streets are not properly repaired and extended, and many of the municipal departments are starved. The people contribute more in taxes than ever before, but be- cause the Government fails to pay its fair share of the cost of local govern- ‘ment the facilities at the disposal of the Government are not adequate or satis- factory. CAUSES -OF EARTHQUAKES. Damage and loss of life caused by earthquakes are usually an indirect re- on The most frequent sequel to a now that parcel post trade is facilitated. | ft \ Mi m\ , Looks Like the Same Old Line-up. —Chicago Daily News, severe temblor is fire, which nearly al- ways proves disastrous because water mains are usually broken. Tidal waves and violent storms which often accom- pany earthquakes : are costly of life and property. Falling buildings always cause heavy losses, and panic, which invariably follows a major catastrophe, adds to the total casualties. In the Italian earthquake losses were great because buildings in the stricken area were not. constructed to resist earth tremors. The meteorological bu- reau in Rome believes. the casualties might have been only one-third as great as they were if the houses had been earthquake-proof. Most of them were built. of stone, but were poorly con- structed and shattered easily. Science is just’ awakening to the challenge of the earthguake. Until very recent years there has been a disposi- tion to accept seismic disturbances as one of the necessarily destructive phe- nomena of the earth. But science is now busy studying the causes and the possible means of forecasting serious earth shocks. Because of its suscepti- bility to earthquakes, Japan is leading in this study, but it is also being given serious attention in the United States and other countries. Americans can not be disinterested in this movement, for earthquakes have been known in nearly every State, and in the Pacific Coast, New England and Mississippi regions they occur frequently. In general, earthquakes are due to the process of mountain building. Ero- sion and silting change the stress on the great blocks that form the earth’s crust and cause slippage. But there have been many quakes for which no cause could be found, notably the New Madrid temblor, which shook the central part of the United States in 1811 and de- pressed a great area below its previous level. It is quite obvious that greater knowledge as to the cause and nature of earthquakes will tend to diminish their destructiveness. But existing knowledge of these phe- nomena makes many precautions possi- ble. The American Society of Civil Engineers has a committee at work gathering information as to what types of building offer the greatest resistance to earth tremors. Building codes are being revised in some localities as a re- sult. It is well known that Los Angeles has swallowed its ambition to rival the New York and Chicago skylines because of the instability of the terra firma in that region. In areas that ate known to be under- going seismic adjustment precautions against complete disruption of water systems can be taken. The National Board of Fire Underwriters is giving attention to earthquake insurance. It is feasible also to instruct people in such regions as to the best course to take in event of a temblor. Much of the loss would be reduced if the element of panic could be eliminated. Extra precaution is wise in times of severe storms, hurricanes, tidal waves, &c., as science has learned that these disturb- ances often act as the “trigger force” that starts the earth blocks to shifting. New impetus will be given the study of seismology and its practical applica- tion by the Italian disaster. Man is helpless to control such events, and will doubtless remain so, but by taking ad- vantage of natural law he may mitigate their destruction. DISTRICT CHANGES. Only a few realize and appreciate the effect of the great physiéal changes which have been, are now being, or soon will be, wrought in the downtown area of Washington. There are some who can remember the old power plant that stood on the site of the District Build- ing. To the majority of even the older residents of the city, however, recol- lection of any feature of that structure is impossible today. Gazing at the Dis- trict Building, at present one of Wash- ington’s most beautiful structures, and which is known more or less intimately to all, it seems incredible that a few years hence it will be difficult to round up a hundred persons who will be able to recall any of its beauty. Within per- haps five. years’ time that building will be razed. There are persons to whom the old Southern Railway Building, at Thir- teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, whose competitive clock often violently disagreed with the one in the postoffice tower, should be easily recalled, it hav- ing been destroyed by flames as recently as April 23, 1916. At that time there were foolish whisperings of the “time- liness’” of the fire as the addition then newly completed was _ speedily supplemented by its architectural twin brother. At about the time the District Building is being effaced from physical view, if not before, these twins will like- wise be knocked down. Memory of tham will shortly become as hazy as is. recol- lection now of the first Southern Rail- way Building. Center Market, which is about as old as the city itself, is scheduled for de- struction. Notices will soon be given to all merchants to vacate the place and adjacent buildings, whereupon gangs of workmen, with picks and shovels and‘ crowbars, will begin to clear the site for new buildings. Picturesque “Chinatown” will dis- appear, and everybody will soon. be moving out of the Mades’ Hotel area. Already furniture crowds the sidewalks to the right and left of that old hostelry, near which are numerous other build- ings sentenced to destruction. All the buildings along Pennsylvania avenue, from First to Fifteenth streets, on the south side, and frem Third to Sixth on the north, are doomed to early destruc- tion under the Federal and municipal building programs. Also to go are old Capitol Prison, the early homes and churches in the City Hall area, the last of the Government hotels, all the temporary buildings constructed during the Government’s war activities, the “Pepco” Building and others. Eyen the Munitions-Navy Building is sched- ° uled to be wrecked under the beautifi- cation program for the National Capi- tal. Only the State-War-Navy Building will be remodeled to suit present-day styles. Let the old buildings go. They have — served their purpose. No one wants - these aged, dilapidated, unsightly +e- mainders and reminders of the Washe " ington of another day. Down with Made’s and the old Howard Housed Down with the St. James and the old National hotels! Down with the market and Harveys! Down with the old Bijou, and Cosmos, and Kernan’s, and Poli’s! Away with the Post Office Department Building!

JULY. 27, 1930. ub Members; Art and Women Glad At Choice of -{# Miss Harvey Geweular Post Won by Buffalo Girl Hailed |) ~ by Her Friends. By VYLLA POE WILSON. AGHINGTON women leaders W are rejoicing over the indirect : recognition of Washington women in the appointment of Miss Constance R. Harvey as vice Consul +o Ottawt, Canada, under the foreign service of the United States. Miss Harvey lives in Washington although she is appointed as resident of Buffa- lo, "N. Y. The addition of Miss Harvey to the list of women vice consuls makes four now actively on duty in various parts. of the world and ten appointed to this position since the recognition of women as real factors in the body politic of this Nation. — Of .course the examingtions for this post are most rigid and many an am- bitious woman as well as man has failed to make the proper marks since the new order of things under the foreign service of the State Depart- ment. Miss Harvey was particularly pre- pared for this examination and the work she will do for she has made a special study of the problems affect- ing the governments of the United States and Canada. That women are well established in the vice consular service is demon- strated by the fact thab Miss Frances E. Willis, of California, is now well on in her third year as vice consul of Valparaiso, Chile; Miss Margaret War- ner, of Boston, who justified her ap- pointment by her splendid year’s work in Geneva, is now serving in Warsaw, and has been in the foreign service nearly three years. Miss Nellie B. Stogsdall, of Indiana, holds a most important post as vice consul in Beirut, Syria. Colonial descent has always been a high point in the thoughts of the members of the national society of the Daughters of the American Revyo- lution, but Mrs. James H. Dorsey, of | the Maryland D. A. R., has extended this idea of line of descent further and has secured “grandchildren” of the famous George Washington elm at Cambridge, Mass., to be planted with the cooperation of the American Tree Association of Washington dur- ing the George Washington bicenten- nial celebration in 1932. Already a “grandchild” has been | Planted in the grounds of the head- | quarters of the Sons of the American | Revolution in Washington. Two of the “grandchildren” are to have places of honor on the new boulevard from Washington to Mount Vernon. The American Tree Association, which is working in close cooperation with all the organizations for the . tree-planting feature of the bicenten- nial celebration of the birth of Wash- ington, estimate that more than 10,000,000 trees will be planted in this country in celebration of the event. The far-flung chapters of the D. A. R., lLttle groups of American women and women of American Revo- lutionary descent, in many corners of the world are also planting trees to honor the 200th birthday of George Washington and it is expected that, some of them will be able to secure one of the precious “grandchildren” of the Washington elm to place as a sign on foreign soil of.the ideals of liberty and justice for all the world for which the elm stands. Washington’s array of distinguished women lawyers will have their part in the entertainment of the members of thé American Bar Association and the women members and wives of lawyers who will attend the meeting in August. Writers League Tee Writters League of Washington will meet at the Mount Pleasant Public Library Friday evening at 8 o’clock. All interested in writing are invited. The program includes short stories by Miss Margaret Bailey, Mrs. T. Li’ Jones and Miss Evelyn Crane; verse-by Miss Anna M. Priestley. Mr. Fred McLaughlin recently sold an air story to the Dell Publishing Co., and Miss Evelyn Crane a story, “The SOng of the Gondola,” to Moth- ers’ Home Life, dramatic rights of “The Wedding Present” and third prize for a letter of criticism from Ghost Stories. Mr. William Jackson read a story, “For the Calf’s Sake,’ which was fol- lowed with interest and brought out a lengthy discussion. Mrs. Thomas Jones read the first part of a story, “Rest Awhile,” which will be continued at the next meet- ing. The following group of verse was given by Miss Marie Dallas: “The Thought of You,” “If We Seek” and “Just Loafing.” Catholic Daughters Plans are being made for a picnic to Chapel Point Sunday, August 17. At the meeting of Tuesday, August 5, final arrangements will be made by the committee—chairman, Miss Nell Calnan, assisted by Miss Agnes Quinn, Miss Katherine Cullinane, Miss Mary O’Connor and Miss Helen Honan. Miss Frances Funk, chairman of the Home League Debating Club, is ar- ranging a debate for an early date, the subject to be “The East vs. the West.” Miss Pearl Faeth, of Fort Madison, Iowa, has joined the permanent guests of thé C.

Members interested in contract bridge are invited to attend the in- struction and practice playing class, meeting each Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, with Mrs. T. H. Dawson Mrs. the Curley Club The Rev. Francis X. Cavanagh, of St. Martin’s Church, was unanimously elected spiritual director of the Curley Club for the ensuing year at an exec- utive meeting of the organization Thursday night at the residence of Mr. John Donnelly, president, 1127 E street northeast. Father Cavanagh will serve his fifth term as spiritual director, the constitution of the club having been amended several years ago to permit him to serve more than | two consecutive years. At the executive Gretchen Baden, treasurer of the| club, in the absence of Mr. Silvio} Poli, chairman of the lawn fete com- | mittee, read the report of the returns | of the various tables, which indicated | that the affair was one of the most | successful ever conducted under the | auspices of the organization. liminary arrangements were pleted for an extended membership | campaign, under the auspices of the chairman of the membership commit- tee, Mr. Hugh McGarvey, which will continue during the early fall months. Mr. Donnelly, at the meeting, an- nounced the appointment of the fol- lowing committees: Miss Angela Luns- ford, reception; Mr. Hugh McGarvey, membership; Mr. Silvio Poll, audit, and Mr. William Boyd, publicity. About 30 members of the Curley Club enjoyed a delightful sail on the Potomac River Friday evening. A meeting, Miss | mumber of week-end parties have been arranged by the athletic com- mittee for the month of August. Sodality Union The Sodality Union of Washington continues its activity even in the Summer. This time it announces a grand social family excursion to his- toric Chapel Point. The palatial Steamer, the City of Washington, is due to leave the N Street Wharf at 9 a. m. on the date of Saturday, Au- gust 2, arriving at the resort at 12:30. Arrangements have been made for the Sodalists who desire dinner to be served promptly at the hotel. Those who wish to indulge in the fine bath- ing may of course have their lunch- eon on board the steamer. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there is to be Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, given in the his- toric St. Ignatius Church. This will be a most fitting close for the day’s activity in this cradle of American Catholicity where perpetual adoration was observed over a century ago. The Rev. J. P. Carney, S. J., is the pastor of the church. The Sodalists will return to Wash- ington in the cool of the evening, ar- riving about 7:30. The chairmen in charge of arrangements for the occa- sion are: Misses Mary Mattingly, Eliza- beth Milovich, Catherine McMahon and Mrs. Anna Donnelly. All the S-- dalists will wear identification badges sO as to make social contacts more general. It is planned to make this a real family affair to which not only the members of the union but their relatives and friends are invited. i We hn & Miss Minnie Sandberg, former exec- utive of the education departmetn of the Young Women’s Christian Asso- ciation, now the foreign secretary of the Womens American Baptist For- eign Mission Society, was a visitor at the association on Wednesday en route to her home in Kansas City. She will sail from Vancouver on the Empress of Canada August 7 to visit mission stations in Japan, China, Philippines and India. Miss Sandberg will return to America in May for the Northern Baptist convention. Mrs, Neil Locke, chairman. of the Girl Reserve committee of the Young Women’s Christian Association in Honolulu, visited the association dur- ing the past week. 614 E Street, Mrs. George Howard, of Buenos Aires, South America, with Miss How- ard and Miss Ada Delvinge, were re- cent guests at the downtown center. Mrs. Howard recently had been in conference with Miss Stella Orr, the representative of the Washington As- sociation in Montevideo, Uruguay. Girl Reserves. The girls in the Camp-Stay-at- Home group are spending most of their time this week in rehearsing for “Moon Shadows,” a play to be given at the Sylvan Theater August 1. Miss R. Cook, Girl Reserve executive, is directing the play, assisted by Miss Bess Davis Schreiner. Vacation Lodge. Among the permanent guests re- ceived this week are Miss Grace the Western | Hodges, Miss Esther Colvin, Miss Em- fliers coming from Los Angeles to | ily E, Clark, Mrs. Lewis, Miss Robin- | son and Miss Brenner, of the German Embassy. Miss Lily W. Bullock spent | the week-end at the lodge. |. The guests gave a family party on | Saturday night to raise money for | new hammocks. Camp Kahlert. Gayly robed and dangerous-looking pirates dominated the scene at Camp Kahlert the past week. The girls who 'came to camp for the first time on |Monday were solemnly initiated as | brothers of the blood. The older _campers formed the members of Capt. Kid’s party. Just at sunset a rig with multi- colored sails hove in view. In it was a band of pirates, singing and cheer- ing. They landed at Kahlert and alter a desperate struggle managed to take the camp. After sufficiently intimidating the campers, the pirates explained their own history and cus- toms. Then they initiated every one. For the remainder of the week no camper is to be* known as Jane or Caroline, far as possible all the details are his- torically authentic. Quite a bit of research was done to ascertain the various customs of the different tribes. The pirates theme is to be carried out through all activities dur- ing this week and next. The organization of the interest groups last week was based on the test reactions of the campers. This Tesulted in the formation of a posi- tion health group instead of a first aid interest. The drama group is catering to those interested in story telling and poetry as well as those whose chief interest is acting. Make-up methods and directing are included in the | study. : A great deal of interest has been manifested in an outdoor theater, which will be the creation of the campers. During the next two weeks the clearing and improving of a site already chosen by a camp specialist will be the work of the group. The advanced camping group is Pre- | continuing work on it’s own private com- | site. They have woven a table top from the rushes which grow all round camp; they have made other furni- ture from logs and wood about the place. The “explorers” have grown from three to twelve and they are forming an important part of Capt. Kidd’s crew as they scout around these next two weeks. The worship committee is using “adventure” for it’s theme the next week and the services will be built around this topic. The crowning treasure of the pirate period is the earnest and joyful .way in which the whole camp has entered into the ambitious plans of the music and drama group. At the end of the week the campers will présent the musical comedy “Pirates of Penzance.” The journalism group is keeping the “Ship's Log” for the next two weeks and each day's happenings will be recorded. Music. Miss Pearl Waugh, who has given the piano lessons during July, left for Tipton, Ind., where she will spend her vacation. Miss Helen Farrington will give the piano lessons in August. General Education. An interesting article has been published regarding Miss Alice Hutch- ins Drake, who has for many years been one of the most enjoyed of the teachers in the general education di- vision. Miss Drake also speaks weekly over the radio, and the article referred to states that “this wonderful woman’s friends claim that she has broadcast more information worth listening to entirely without pay than any living person, being the unquestioned pio- neer and champion on subjects of art over the rado.” Miss Drake began her broadcasting in 1924, giving a weekly lecture on art in Washington, and this was frequently supplemented by weekly book reviews, which she made over the National Broadcasting chain. In July, 1928, she began broadcasting a new series of radio talks, “Famous Paintings of Many Lands.” In addition to teaching at the Y. W. C. A., Miss Drake has, for the last seventeen years, conducted the Book- lover hour, which meeting twice a month, has proved a great inspiration. Health . Education. New swimming classes for children are starting daily. They all meget three times a week for six lessons. The series run either Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Boys and girls of all ages are accepted. |. The E street pool schedule shows a crawl class starting July 30 and meet- ing om Monday and Wednesday at 5:30 p. m. A number of new first and second grade classes in the evening are start- ing this week at the K street pool. Beginning Monday, patrons of the K street pool may use the roof for sun baths. They may be taken in bathing suits before or after using the pool, A number of new tennis classes are starting soon. The schedule runs as follows: Monday and Wednesday, 6:45 &. m., starting August 6; Monday and Wednesday, 7:45 a. m., starting Au- gust 4; Monday and Wednesday, 4:45 p. m., starting August 6; Monday and Wednesday, 5:45 p. m., starting Au- gust 6; Tuesday and Thursday, 7:45 |&.m., starting August 5; Tuesday and | Thursday, 9:45 a. m..

As | gust. Summer Seen As Ideal ‘Fime For Art Work Beulah Weaver Among Those Remaining in City to Paint. — eee By ADA RAINEY. OT all the artists have left Washington. In fact, these quiet days free from the de- manding social requirements of the rest of the year are ideal for paint- ing. When most of one’s ffiends have left town there are long daya of in which to take in a new point of view. When the mad rush is over which some way manages to intrude into the quasi quiet of the studio the mind can renew itself and then it is that the creative spirit of the artist is at its best.° Beulah Weaver is one of the artists who has decided to stay at home this summer and paint. In her studio on Wisconsin avenue she has a number of tremendously interesting canvases which line the wall and give a glimpse into a rare and intensive creative ability. She has completed several paintings that are really ex- tracidinary. They are in a kindred spirit to the work that Edgar Nye is doing, although not really similar in the least. No artist who ig really creative is doing work similar to that of any other artist, although they show influeces of other minds and ways of paintings. This is un- avoidable. Indeed it is one of the ee things to trace in paint- ng. Mrs. Weaver had the conventional artistic training. She painted in the academic way. She was an excellent draftsman and painted very ac- ceptably. Then she suddenly became “fed up” on the old way of painting and sought another way and new ideas. She studied with Peppino Mangravite, who gave her the princi- ples of composing in planes~and of being free from the use of shadows which are such an important part of the old way of painting. But. mostly she has forged her way unaided as most individual artists do and she has evolved an unusual and trench- antly impressive way of painting. Her paintings Have evoked favor- able comment from Forbes Watson, that caustic and: difficult to please critic. Mrs. Weaver exhibited in the recent “Saions of New. York” and her painting,#’Townsend’s Corner,” which is a snow scene as different from the conventional snow scene as can well be imagined. It produces a strange impression on the beholder. One is stimulated and keyed to different way of thinking. The deep snow over the street, house and fence, the whole maintains a certain organic integrity that is incontestable. It gives in no uncertain way the impression of this scene produced on the beholder. This is the keynote of Mrs. Weaver's work. She is ever seeking to transcribe the mental impression that the scene has made upon her mind. This mental reaction is the individual thing, for no two people react to the same thing in the same way, which, of course, makes the thrill of art. To get this invisible something, this intangible element is the great adventure. It is always a mental thing even more than an emotional reaction. The new art, if} I can use the term, is mostly in terms of mentality rather than purely ento- tional, although, of course, there is always emotion in all art. But there is no use in hair-splitting descrip- tions. Either one sees and under- stands or one does not. But one can always prepare the mind to under- stand. The most important painting so far accomplished by this talented artist is a canvas which is superbly organ- ized. It is of a town in the valley in which the lines converge to a cen- ter, making again a strong organic whole. The freshness and the spontaniety of this painting recalls the vividness of the early Italian primitives. There are no shadows here, each house, object, street and even the stones in the street, are definitely composed and related to every other object and yet so satis- factory is the whole that one is con- cerned with the freshness and beauty of the ensemble, with its charm and its originality. It is really a remark- able painting. There is a delightful “Storm in the Country.” It is very efective, and a painting showing the strong search- lights, playing over the basin in front of the Lincoln Memorial, is distin- guished by original handling and a unique scene. Mrs, Weaver excells in her still life paintings, especially of flowers, and her decorative screens and paintings have evoked much fav- orable comment. A painting shown last autumn in the Moses decorative arts exhibition was strongly com- posed. This was a staircase winding down to a lower floor, but composed with entirely new ideas of perspective. A canvas shown in the Chicago Art Institute was commented on with a trenchant criticism by Mr. Buliet, who wrote “Apples and Madonnas.” Almost any notice taken of a paint- ing by this critic in so important a/ show as that at the Chicago Art Insti- tute is a high compliment. Mrs. Weaver’s work was especially noticed. Her interest is decidedly in the pro- gressive movement in art and her ef- forts brought about the last inde- pendent show at the Draper Building which brought out a large number of paintings from New York as well as from artists in the city who have not had an opportunity of exhibiting elsewhere in Washington. Mrs. Weaver really carried through that exhibition most successfully. The portraits of young girls and un- usual types of women are another phase of this artist’s work that are surprising and vital. In a life-sized portrait the eyes of a girl are made the focal point of the portrait and of the composition as well, and diverg- ing lines from the eyes forming a radiating center, makes a portrait of real importance. In portraiture the artist is experimenting with models and obtaining results that are re- markable. In the rather humble medium of block prints some attractive designs have been carried out with a fine sense of design. Some of these de- signs are used for Christmas and greeting cards and are done in black and white and are as different from the conventional Christmas card as can be imagined. Mrs. Weaver has used her imagination most effectively in the making of these block prints. It is not always that the artist is a successful teacher in her chosen field of expression. But Mrs. Weaver arrangements for moving parapher- nalia from Logan Hall to the club. The excursion to be given Saturday in conjunction with Lincoln Camp, No. 2, Sons of Veterans, was discussed and plans for Col. Oldroyd’s birthday anniversary, July 31, fully arranged. This will be held in Logan Hall, 1502 Fourteenth street northwest. Comrade J. W. Lyons was present and told in detail of the trip to G. A. R. encampment at Cincinnati, in Au- * Mrs. Isabel Bontz was unanimously elected council member to fill @ va- cancy for the remainder of the term. : *, , . foe hy x ‘ * . ” ‘ , hy Y PY Efe “aie? ies eBay ih CPR Pastas 3 WEL Toe © gee | x va Sy pa “Bombardment Fort McHenry in 1814,” mural decoration by Oskar Hauenstein.

Hugo Inden at Arts Club. Hugo Inden has taken a studio at the Arts Club in the new building members. The upper story in the new wing has been turned into stu- dios, which are at the disposal of the men members of the club. Mr. Inden has used his decorative ideas in his own studio most attrac- tively and has gained a simplicity of impression with few accessories that is admirable. He has been doing some interest- ing caricatures in chalk and water color that are original and amusing. He has designed some excellent book plates and decorative wrapping paper for gift shops that are unique and attractive. Especially interesting are some silhouettes cut out of a piece rof black paper with the technique of wood block prints. This means that the silhouette must be a whole’ and ‘must be cut from One piece of paper which has been reserved for men’ which contains within itself the de- sign, without piecing or cutting the outside edge, a difficult feat of ac- complishment: He hag avoided the realistic element in these designs and has obtained something of real merit.

This is festival time in the world of music and in many cities of this country as well as in Europe out- standing programs are being present- ed. Many Washingtonians went to Ithaca, N. Y., to attend the historic Talbott music festival there when 3,000 singers took part in a memor- able program of church and choral music. The conductor of the festival was Dr. John Finley Williamson, founder and conductor of the West- minster Choir and Westminster Choir ‘School, The 1930 festival weeks in Berlin, Germany, were signalized by the presence of the New York Philhar- monic Orchestra with Arturo Tos- canini. The audiences at this festi- val included, in addition to throngs of music lovers, thousands of profes- sional musicians of Berlin and its vicinity, anxious to hear the Ameri- can organization with its European leader. The two concerts of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra were socially gay as well as the 400 of the German city and the Diplomatic Corps attached to that world capital who turned out en masse. A prize of $1,000 has been offered by the Edward Garrett McCollin Me- morial Committee of the Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia for a composition for solo string quartet and orchestra. The contest is open to persons of either sex a of any na- tionality. It will close on December 31, 1931, by which time all composi- tions must be in the custody of the society.

Show -: Much History : . Of Maryland Oskar Hauenstein Paints Scenes of State’s Old Glories. scenes of the “Glories of Maryland” in tempera on walls specially prepared to receive the pigment. It is rather an ambitious piece of work, for the Georgian dining room is large and the scenes tell of the story of the found- ing of Maryland from the very first when Leonard Calvert, brother of the Tamous Lord Baltimore, who founded Baltimore, landed in 1634. .The story tells of the first religious service held in the new land by the little band of Catholics, and then leads on to the culmination when the first locom0- tive steamed its way on the Balti- more &, Ohio Railroad, It is a brave story of the early pioneers, their struggles in wrestling their living from the land, their achievements and their days of play when the land had begun to yield its richness to them. _ Painting in ra is not an easy art and the artist who is essaying this task has done interesting things in the past. Mr. Hauenstein has within. the year . completed the decorations for the night club on the 58. S. Leviathan. The former palm room on the huge steamer has been remodeled and made gay to suit the temper of ocean~ going travelers. This work in the Maryland Inn follows the old English prints and is really in harmony with the Georgian times when these happenings took place. Indeed, it is an excellent les- son in the history of our neighbors, about which I for one must plead dense ignorance, until I refreshed my mem the other day when I saw the work of the painter, who by the way is a delightful person not new to Washington. He has painted por- traits of Mrs. Stevens Robinson and of the children of Mr. Thomes R. Tay- lor, but he is now living in New York. Before he undertook to paint the glories of Maryland, Mr. Hauenstein studied deeply the history of the State to know the details which he has embodied so effectively in this Georgian room. “The Bombardment of Fort Henry,” in 1814, is a particu- larly impressive scene. It shows ‘® scene on the river with the fully rigged ships seen against the back- ground of the sky and there is the flag, the sight of which inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star- Spangled Banner.” And here comes an incident in which the artist scores above a specialist. One of the stati- cians from the Treasury saw the painting and counted the stripes in the flag. He found fifteen stripes instead of thirteen and corrected the artist. But the artist knew his his- tory and quoted the old records which declare that at this time the flag had fifteen stripes and not until later was the change made to signify the original colonies. Then there is the “Battle of Fred- erick” and the “City of Baltimore” in 1781 looking for all the world like an Old World print of the New World settlement. “The Burning of the Peggy Stewart” is one of the most dramatic of the scenes, and “Wash- ington Being Escorted by Dragoons” has a real human interest. Certain it ig when they are all finished it will be a gay procession of the men who have written their achievements large on the of jhistory. The culmination will be a fox hunt with the scarlet jackets of the riders fly- ing across the green fields, and the cock fight and horse racing which the men of Maryland love to view. . The ‘artist has caught the spirit of the ee and recreated the scenes viv- idly. » ADVERTISEMENT.

Ee EE A Newlyweds Enjoy Honeymoon in City As Hoover Guests Army Transfers Are Tea Table Topics; Gay Parties at Shore Resorts; Mellon Group Cruis- ing Off Newport. ONEYMOONING in the White House— H whether a real or temporary White House, has become the fashion. had the President and Mrs. farewell Scarcely Hoover waved to Senator Smoot and his bride, guests at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue since their wedding about three weeks ago in Salt Lake, than they opened the portals of the “little White House” op the banks of the Rapidan to welcome Senator David Baird, jr,, and his bride, who interrupted a honeymoon in Europe to scurry home that the senator might elect to vote or not to vote for the naval treaty. That, with his bride, he is the guest of President and Mrs. Hoover today adds materially to the gayety of a distin- guished group invited for the week-end to the cool retreat of the Virginia forests. With the treaty well out of the way and the ma- chinery of Congress silent for awhile, the President is taking a little leisure at his favorite resort and again playing host to newlyweds. Who’s next—is the vexing question. The Senate’s supply of eligibles is, not only in- teresting, but apparently endless. With the White House at the end of the rainbow, per- haps the chase will: go merrily on. It might éven lead to another temporary White House in some cool glen in the shadow of eternal snows, for anything can happen in the vast areas of the West, where the President and Mrs. Hoover are going in a few days. * + * * OPICS over the tea cups al fresco these midsummer days form a triangle which is almost a draw between the United State's foreign service, the diplomatic contingent in Washington and the possible change in per- sonnel in several blue-ribbon posts of the Army. With a few interesting appointments to attractive posts‘abroad aready recorded, including those of Mr. William M. Jardine to Egypt and Mr. William Dawson to Ecua- dor, with the Ambassador of Cuba named by his country as Minister to Japan and the Minister of Austria and Mme. Prochnik leav- ing soon for Mexico City, where the former will present his credentials as Austrian envoy to that country, and the establishment at his post here of Senor Manuel de Freyre as Am- bassador of, Brazil, the roster of personali- ties is pretty well filled before one gets to the Army, which, after all, furnishes rather lively tidbits in the way of speculative tea conversation. Topping them all, perhaps, in the inter- ests of society, is the transfer of Maj. Charles P. George, son-in-law of the Vice President, from Fort Sill, Okla., to Fort Myer, Va., which will be in effect September 1. The major was in town several days last week, ostensibly to make a short visit with the Vice President and with Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Everett Gann in their apartment at the Mayflower, but the wags had it that something more interesting than a mere pause between Oklahoma and the George’s summer home at Siaconsett, Mass., was in the wind for the popular officer. And so *tis true that Maj. George will relieve Lieut. Col. Courtland Parker as commander of the Second Battalion, which is now at Coby- hanna, Pa., for the training of civilian re- serves. Lieut. Col. Parker will go to New Jersey to organize reserves. Maj. and Mrs. George are not strangers at Fort Myer, where the major has been stationed before. As for Washington, it has welcomed them on frequent visits that have kept them in touch with friends here and kept intact the bond of regard that wide distances can not dim. Everybody is wondering about Gen. Sum- merall’'s reappointment, or who will be his successor, or just what situation will arise in November, when the general is due for retirement from his post as chief of staff. There is Maj. Gen. Hanson B. Ely, Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler and Maj. Gen. Preston Brown, the last ordered to the command of the Panama Canal department in October. There also is Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur and three or four others who might be named as chief of staff should Gen. Sum- merall be retired. And who, ask friends of the Army, will be named to fill the post of Maj. Gen. Henry D. Todd, commandant at the Coast Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Va., ordered to his home to await statutory retirement-for age on August 29? Gen. Todd was.awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and two silver star citations for gallantry in action during the World War and, to the last full measure, is a soldier, tried and true. _ Another Army plum is the post filled by Maj. Gen. Jenner Y, Chisum, Air Corps, at- tached to the office of the Air Corps, Muni- tions Building, Washington. Maj. Gen. Chisum will await retirement at his home in Tennessee. He also was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Medal. The recent transfer of Maj. Gen. Fox Con- nor from Hawaii to the post of commandant of the First Corps Area will bring the gallant officer and Mrs. Connor and their daughter, Miss Florence Connor, to Boston. They are now en route East from the Hawaiian Islands and will take the scenic trip through the Canadian Rockies. ‘The transfer brings par- ticular interest to friends here, who regretted their departure from Washington, where Maj. Gen. Connor was commandant of the Army War College a few years ago. } From the Naval War College at Newport comes a trio of officers for duty at the Army . War College, including Col. John Celt. Reau- mont, U. S. M. C.; Lieent. Col. Gerald Majell Kincade and Lieut. Benjamin Scofield Berry. Iiurst to resume his post after a three-month visit In the United States. He is well known as a writer of fiction and-travel articles and also has contributed commercial articles to periodicals. s * * . cae Paris to the North Shore—up Massachusetts way—is but a these days of rapid travel, ahd stray news, iinked to the great and near great of Wash- ington, also travels rapidly. Mr. John Have Hammond, former Ambassador to Spain, and Mrs. Hammond have opened their summer place at Gloucester and have with them Mr. Hammond's sister, Miss Betty Hamaeiond. The son of the former ambassador, who is one of America’s leading ‘young engineers and inventors, has fitted his ‘wireless house” with many Intriguing novelties that may baffle yet fascinate guests of an inquisitive turn of mind. The most coveted of all ‘Jack”’ Bammond’s possessions—and inventions—it seems, ts his cruiser, of intricate mechanical operation, which, may be steered entirely from the shore and represents the last word in boat design. Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, who = occa- slonally pass the winters in their Massachu- step in setts avenue house, have been at Weld, Brookline, Mass., which they opened later than usual this season, although they have entertained at several smart garden. parties. They are at Alberta for the next few weeks. Mr. Anderson is working on a new book, which soon will be published. Mrs. Anderson’s cousin, Mrs. Sumner Pingree, is taking a party of friends in a privat car to the Saratoga races this week. The Pingree estate, Flying Fox Farm, at Hamilton, boasts a private race track. Mrs. Pingree is a splendid horsewoman, friding constantly to the hounds in the Mayopia Hunt Club. ' During their recent trip to Ire- land, Mr. and Mrs, Pingree brought back a donkey, which Is the pet of the North Shore and has been loaned from time to time for the smart charity fetes on the Shore, The haughty Little beast from the ‘“‘auld sod’ was the center of attraction at the fete given at Hamilton the other day by Mrs. George von L. Meyer, widow of the late Secretary of the Navy. The donkey, reports declare, did his part in augmenting the sum accrued at Mrs. Von Meyer’s house, Maplewood Farm, near Hamilton, loaned for the day to further the Children’s Island Santtarium off Marblehead Neck. : A EER ne ES me ET 8 RR EE EE La ES SES etn oe EE ema me Re mous Rendezvoud Many.

Hurst Voices Praise of Diplomatic Profession as Ca- reer for Young Men; Gives Re- cent Interview in Paris. ETTING back to the foreign service, G there's a new angle to the recent ap- pointment of Mr. Hanford MacNider as Minis- ter to Canada. Because Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, electing to follow his usual inexpli- cable course of dissent over anytNing that’s handy to fuss about, objected to Mr. Mac- Nider’s appointment on personal grounds, the former Assistant Secretary of War found his hame pretty much in the news every morning for a while, until the Senate, with but one dissenting vote, finally got around to con- firming the President’s appointment. Mr. MacNider was duly named to the post at Ottawa. Now comes another snag in the pool ®f po- litical waters, delaying the departure of the new minister for.the present, for politics in Ottawa just now are as hot as any served up in Indiana at the height of a presidential campaign. With Mr. William L. King wishing to succeed himself as Premier of Canada and Mr. R. B. Bennett, boss of the Dominion conservatives, wanting to replace him, the capital of the Dominion is regarded by Washington as a Wit warm for a minister new in the service. Although the Canadian éleetions are taboo as a topic of conversation around the State Department, they are none the less important, point out those who know their statecraft, The present premier is a liberal- and the liberals have been friendly with the United States Government, lending support to the final adoption of regulations forbidding customs authorities to give clear- ance papers to cargoes of intoxicating liquors bound for the United States. Following diplomatic custom, Mr. Mac- Nider would be obliged to-submit to the present premier his creedentials and follow the ceremony by some sort of speech. In view of the situation, the new American Minister to Ottawa is marking time and will wait sev- eral more weeks before he takes charge of the legation, although he was appointed. sey- eral months ago. Washington society was delighted with the lIowan’s appointment, which may mean another young man permanently allied with the State Department. * * * - DELIGHTFUL profession is statecraft, ac- A Carl- ton B. Hurst, United States consul general in Budapest, in an interview at the Hotel Conti- nental in Paris the other day. Mr. Hurst, for one thing, is the oldest consul in point of time served, having entered the consular service July 22, 1892, a period long enough to offer experiences interesting and varied. He de- clares. the latest innovation in the service, which provides by appropriation for a fund cording to the expressions of Mr. _ to partially pay for consular homes in strange lands, to be one of the greatest inducements for the enlistment of young men into the service. ‘“‘When consular appointments ceased to be political,” Mr. Hurst pointed out, “‘made possible by the passing of the Rogers bill ten years ago, a better type of men began ap- plying for the service. So attractive have con- sular posts become, that many women are today applying for these offices and several successful applicants are now serving as vice consuls.”’ Mr. Hurst, whose son is a vice-consul in Paris, has arrived in Budapest with Mrs. Mackenzie- (Upper left) John Floyd Waggaman 2d, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ennalls Waggaman.

BELL SILHOUETTE: Chanel uses tucks and sunburst pleats to create a bell-like ovwtline. id By Lucy Park THE FASHION COORDINATOR: AVE you ever wished H that in soffe miracu- lous way you might be whisked to Paris with full en- tree to all the openings staged by the famous dressmakers at the beginning of each sea- son? Think what an orgy you would have as you journeyed from Patou’s opening to Chanel’s, to Vdonnet’s, Le- * long’s, Lanvip’s and all the rest of that illustrious group! Woulée you make all your se- lections at one house, follow- ing one designer’s silhouette, or would you make your pur- chases here and there? Miss Lucy Park, the Fash- ion Coordinator, presents to you on this page fourteen dresses which she selected from the mid-season openings in Paris because they were representative of the silhou- ettes and style tendencies sponsored by the couturiers for the coming season. Three types of costumes are shown—tailored, after- noon, and evening. It is in- teresting to note that while the silhouette is subdued and modified, the waistline re- mains at the normal line, skirts are of moderate length and even hemline save for an occasional formal gown with a train. Emphasis continues upon the cape theme, the bolero, lingerie touches, and slightly ©eOO9 © flared skirts. The long tunic has reappeared—as shown in figures 12 and 138. Evening skirts continue long—just clearing the floor, even all around, or slightly shorter in front. An occa- sional train is noted. Consid- erable interest centers in varied skirt treatments—as shown in figures 7 and 11. ADVANCE INFORMATION * Ff OL : Wl Yy LU Wy td. tf yy ee v LZ “8, MODY: Vt, “KZ Wt) Ze 4, NS CH VISE ABP 4 34 8.

SUMMER has her own) sartorial mood and will not) be beguiled far from it even | by the most charming glimpses of with a bow of blue velvet drawn around the brim.. Miss Betty Hinsdale, who has also been a guest at the White House, wore a lovely dress of flowered net at Irae. ‘ ee > ane fall foibles and fashions displayed temptingly in Washington shops far the many important women who are lingering in the Capital City for one Teason or another. The temperature of the last few days has contributed its share toward keeping the thoughts of femininity in @ summer mood, for certainly none but summer filmsiness of attire has been acceptable in the torrid days of a Washington at its July worst. The fact that this“is a cotton sea- Son has added a great deal to the comfort of the mode. After all, cotton is cool. It has been tested for gener- ations in the South for this very quality and never has been found | wanting in this regard. One cotton development of the season, net, can be counted on to produce that feeling of crisp coolness which is the greatest gift a summer dress can make to its wearer. Cross-barred dimity, a favorite with other generations, is also another ma- | terial which can be worn with com- | fort on the warmest day. Any one May wear it well and it is adapted for the larger woman, too, if made so the waist line is inconspicuous and a long surpliced line is maintained in & pretty scalloped collar. Of course, it should not be forgot- ten that silk has its place also in the | beautiful | the | Summer wardrobe. This material contributes some of loveliest costumes to the array of milady’s warm weather outfits. Par- ticularly suited to informal summer wearing is the practical shantung, a silk that might serve for many of our simple models just as will a gay print or a soft flat crepe be delightful when made up along the lines sug- gested by the more formal design. Style Battle Is Fought. The idea of comfort in clothes is the result of an epic battle fought in the last years of the nineteenth century between adherents of the dressing for appearance cult and those who felt one might produce chic effects and yet be comfortable. Femininity can no longer conceive as beaytiful any artificial or con- strained gestures that result from cumbersome clothing. “We owe this new attitude of mind,” said a keen observer of dress the other day, “to the new bidding of fashion. As charmingly whimsical as ever, it has in addition given proof of great wisdom of late by bestow- ing upon women a freedom of motion in keeping with the ways of modern lifeg Clothing of a new type makes t possible for a woman to move, act nd generally live as nature intended that a human being should. Artists and lovers of beauty rejoice at this latest decree of the mode, that natura] forms are preferable to the succes- sion of fanciful ones that women have asSumed in the past.” In all this summer thought of clothes it is inevitable that the pa- jama should have a new place in the sun. Formerly we have considered pajama a garment certainly not in- tended for daytime wear, but that archaic notion has been dispelled by its universal use as a beach costume, its adoption for tea time by many leaders of fashion and its general @daptability as a playtime costume and for informal gatherings. The most attractive form of the pajama, if such it may be called, is the lounging. Chinese costume which has a distinction all of its own and was designed many centuries ago to give the acme of comfort to its wear- er. That it has been successful in this design thousands in this country as well as the Chinese can attest to the curious. Flowered Materials Favored. Mary Quite Contrary has circulated real propaganda for flowers all in a row among the official women. In spite of the published edicts of the fashion authorities for plain mate- rials, practically every official woman, from Mrs. Hoover down, at the White House garden party for veterans wore some variety of flowered material for her dress. And in direct contradiction of the advocates of the elegance of hand- some plain material some of the early fall wool dresses have intricate but only daintly defined designs woven into the most severely tailored of these dresses. The prediction of the vogue of bro- cades and ‘“‘two-toned” satins and metal cloths for evening gowns gives evidence that those who have de- signs in their minds for the fashions are not beaten by any means by those who like the plain, unembellished material. Few women would take such liber- ties with their pocketbooks or with handsome pelts as to embrace the mew mode which is sure to remain exclusive of clipping design on the soft, short-haired furs. It may be in- triguing to have a high roll collar of squirrel or fitch or ermine with the initials of the wearers or the family ‘ crests carefully clipped out at one side, but when this passing fancy passes a handsome piece of fur will have been impaired without any hope of remedy. Those who wish to indulge this style will, of course, if they are eco- nomically minded, secure one of the soft rabbit or other such light fur which is not expensive and does not wear very long any way. Of course, with fur pocketbooks to match the collar and cuffs on hand- gome coats the idea of clipping in initials in the fur is not so extrava- gant, as it would be possible to carry a bag with initials secured in this manner for many years without look- ing out of style. First Lady's Tastes Cited. Mrs. Hoover has a decided penchant | for black and white this summer and cotton | slightly curved and the heel quite | suit. Im shape they are smaller in| the front and swoop to almost para- | sol-like proportions that quite cover the shoulders in the back. And the front is made in such a way that it can turn up off the face so that the hat looks in silhouette for all the world like an Indian chief’s head- dress! There is another type of beach hat which is a turban, really, but instead of hugging the face closely the rolled edge part of the turban comes out around the face to give a little shade. This is not a sand hat, of course, but one design to be worn on the board- walk and inside the Casino, since the azure waves do such things to one’s coiffure that elegance and discretion suggest covering it up until one is safely in the hands of the hair- dresser. On Her Little Feet. What a world of words can be said for beach shoes! Nor are “beach shoes” for a moment to be confused with bathing slippers. They have | straw of wooden soles, as a rule, and if it is straw, then the sole is flat— whereas if it is wooden, the sole is high. But wooden or straw, the rest of the shoe is usually made in & ma- terial to match the costume, and ties to the foot, and is attached to the ankle with ribbons as one would expect a well brought up sandal to be! in sandal effects, but I would hesi- tate to do any strenuous swimming in these. . And Then Jewelry. Such delightful nonsense, this jew- elry idea for bathing suits, that we don’t wonder it was hailed with instant delight. At that, there is absolutely no reason why certain costume jewelry that is not hurt by sun or water should not have long since been worn with bathing suits and beach costumes, There is, for instance, the rubber jewelry, made of colored rubber and startlingly bar- baric but decorative effect, which is seen in the form of necklaces, brace- lets, anklets, belts, and even earrings. And this is, of course, by far the /most popular medium for beach jew- |elry. Jewelry made entirely of wood, _ however, is a good second best, but it must show no speck of metal to rust (or tarnish. And then there are delightful ef- fects made of crystal, of cabochon and of nacre. It is this nacre that lends itself to sun and salt water- proof bathing suits covered with pail- lettes that glisten and shine like huge h scales. Suits, hats, sandals, jewelry, all contribute their bit to lending to the modern woman the air of a lovely Lorelei for whom any bold mariner would gladly land upon rocks and consider his life well spent! Au Revoir! she wears a medium brimmed crino- line hat with a black velvet band on it. The waistline ig outlined by a black velvet tie belt. Mrs. Ernest L.

With this she wore a wide brimmed leghorn hat Vocal Organ Make-Up Held Reason Why Women Gossip ‘Strong, Silent Man” Termed Myth to Camouflage Sluggishness of Male Species, Berlin Experts Aver After Long Study. The female of the species chatters faster and more often than the male because of physiological differences in her vocal mechanism, not because of inherent empty-headedness, as male jokesters have contended through the ages. v This bombshell against male com- placency was launched last week by Prof. Friedenthal and Dr. Cohen-Gu- ben, Berlin scientists, and is indorsed as scientific fact by the New York throat specialist, Dr. Paul Winslow, of No. 45 Park avenue. Not content with lifting the stigma of senselessness from women’s chat- ter, the doctors also agree that, ac- cording to the same physiological facts, “the strong, silent man” is only a myth which has served to camou- flage sluggish male muscles since time immemorial. The female vocal mechanism, being more delicate than the male, can work more easily, they said. “Oddly enough, the feminists have never tried to defend the chattering proclivities of their sex,” said Dr. Winslow, explaining why this phase of physiology has escaped publicity. “They- merely insisted that - they didn’t talk more than men. All one has to do to disprove that is to listen outside the doors of a woman's club and then do some eavesdropping at a gathering of men. Listen to any argument between a man and his wife. The woman prob- ably says 50 words to the man’s 1. But he makes up for this by shout- ing and sometimes, I regret to say, has worn several becoming costumes | the use of obscene language. Women of chiffon in this smart combination. | certainly do talk faster and more At th egarden party Mrs. Hoover's gown | often, was much more white than black. with the background white and the bold flowered designs in black. With thfs she wore one of the new wide black crinoline hats, with a band of velvet ribbon about the brim and tied 4n a bow in the back. For a luncheon Mrs. Hoover wore a chiffon dresg with a trailing design of white and with facings of white. Her hat was a black one with a white grosgrained ribbon tied about the crown. For a morn- ing event at the White House Mrs. Hoover wore a dress of white shan- tung with a short wide shantung jacket and a small white felt hat. Mrs. Henry L. Stimson. wife of the Secretary of State, is also wearing black and white flowered costumes. She has a chiffon with. black ground . anc 2» white conventional design in it. | but there’s nothing to be ashamed of in that. If they talk about worthwhile things it’s an abil- ity to be proud of. It is time that it receives its proper due.” “The male is more muscular than the female, Dr. Winslow pointed out, substantiating the theory of the Ger- man doctors. He has a louder voice, an entirely different kind of tone. Most people conclude that since his muscles are stronger, he can talk, if anything, more easily than the fe- male. Those familiar with music, however, could not make this mis- take. It is well. known that the female voice is far more flexible than that of the male. Even young girls with undeveloped voices are able to handle coloratura passes that the most highly traincd mzn singer c2n never This is made with a tunic skirt | achieve. The male voice is harder to and white chiffon vestee. With this, manipulate. When he talks, it takes, more effort for him to get started. He can not talk nearly as fast as his wife. “That probably accounts for the woman being credited with having the last word,” suggested *Dr. Win- slow. “Her delicate mechanism for vocal expression gets in motion more easily than a man’s to begin with. The vocal cords, being shorter, vibrate more facilely. Then her nervous sys- tem gives her an added impetus be- cause, generally speaking, a woman is more highly strung, more emo- tional. This aids her in accelerating her rate of speech.” In public speaking, however, the doctors found that the superior mus- cular development of the male assures him superiority. When it comes to speaking hours and hours with little or no interruption in a convention hall, the woman’s voice becomes hoarse or dries up entirely. Because she speaks more rapidly and with more emotional stress, her vocal me- chanism demands periods of rest when she is attempting to combine large volume with a continuous flow of sound. This offers no comfort to the hus- bands of scolding wives, however, be- cause the ladies, when speaking in the home, where moderate volume suffices, are pretty sure to get in the last word. “Protracted silence means locking the spirit in the bottom of the throat,” declared Dr. Winslow, who sees mo reason to deprecate the fe- male’s chattering ability. “Talking clarifies ideas and is a spur to mental activity. Men would do well to make more effort and to attempt to over- come the sluggishness of their mus- cles. “The mechanism which produces the voice is the most sensitive, the most highly organized and most per- fect of all musical instruments. It corresponds most nearly to the violin, as it is a stringed instrument. In the violin, a bow is drawn across the taut strings, causing them to vibrate, pro- ducing tones that are reinforced by the hollow, wooden body which acts as its resonating chamber. “In like manner the vocal cords of the larynx are set in vibration by a column of air sent up from. the lungs. The tones thus produced are rein- forced by the resonating chambers of the. head and chest. The correct use of this wonderful instrument is very beautiful and should be encouraged. As @ gereral rule. I find that women speak more beautifully than men. so I am glad they find it easier to talk.” ¢ ‘Assistant Secretary of War, ore of the dinners. This was made with a quaint high fitted bodice with a bertha collar and with a round full ankle length skirt. Miss Hinsdale also wore a bright American beauty crepe dress with an inset yoke of cream lace. With this she wore 4 cream hat with a row of cream roses across the back. Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers. Representative Edith Nourse Rogers whom everyone has become used to as the Lady in Black is now wearing most becoming costumes of black and white and all white. At the White House garden party Mrs. Rogers wore a dress of white chiffon flowered in small designs of black with a deeply plaited white chiffon jabot in front matching an uneven flounce down the side of the skirt. With this Mrs. Rogers wore a white felt hat with a row of tiny roses across the back. At a dinner party Representative Rogers also wore a black and white flowered chiffon dress made with an ankle length flounced skirt and a hanging cape in the back. Mrs. Frederick Payne, wife of the chose for one of the summer out of door events a dress of beige chiffon flower- ed in blue and green with which she wore a brown straw hat to match the narrow sash of brown velvet. Miss Helen Green, who is one of the latest additions to the White House social secretary staff, had on at a luncheon a dress of white chif- fon flowered in green in two tones and bound in pale green chiffon. With this she wore a medium brim- med green straw hat. On another occasion Miss Green wore a dress of white shantung with a small blue flower in it. Miss Mildred Hall, Mrs. Hoover’s social secretary, also is wearing a dress of white chiffon flowered in red and green. With this Miss Hall wears red kid strap slippers and a small turned down red hat. Mrs. George T. Marye had on at a dinner at Newport a dress of blonde lace made with a slight train and with a deeply draped U neckline. For an out of door event Mrs. Marye wore a suit of cream chiffon cloth with a wide-brimmed hat of cream. Representative Ruth Hanna Mc- Cormicky who came by airplane from Chicago last week for a brief stay at her home in Georgetown, made the trip in a smart suit of a light tan silk Wives of Tomorrow What Does It Mean? EAR MISS M’DONALD: Why D does a man waste time on a girl who has no matrimonial. intentions? There is a man coming |. regularly to see me and I can not see why he comes as I have contin- uously told him that I would never marry any one and that I have no feeling whatever for him. I tell him to forget me. When I tell him that he just smiles. What does he mean by that? When I do not see him for a while wonder what he is doing. What does that mean? Am I in love with him? I do not want to marry any- body at all. What does that mean? Is he in love with me? He has told me that he loves me. But it does not affect me in the least to hear it. What does that mean? If you will answer my questions you will be doing me a great service, as I do not seem to be able to figure all this out at all. IN DOUBT. What does it all mean? Why, just that you are having a wonderful time being young! When we are young, everything has for us a hidden mean- ing. Everything that happens seems a prophecy of something yet to come —as indeed it is. Every smile has a twofold significance. Every silence is fraught with greater weight than words. Lacking experience we are all imagination—when we are young! We do not want to marry—no, sir— no man, ever! When we are young! We do not want even love—no, sir —no matter how thrilling, we want to go our way, when we are young. But ever, just below the surface, stirs that something that makes wus wonder, makes us want with all our hearts to know—when we are young! a'll tell you about this smiling lover, Alice-in-Wonderland. He may be the patient kind who will just wait until you know a little more about love and what it means. He may be the kind who has “no matrimonial intentions” himself. There are just loads and loads of these (and it takes loads of them to make one man). He may be the sort who likes to find a girl who is “different” and “in- different,” who really wants to marry, and wants to léve but is not falling on the neck of the first man who offers his neck as a falling: place, He may be the kind who is won- dering about life and love himself and is glad to meet a girl who is wondering, too, and willing to find out a little about these things before rushing into marriage. Or he may suspect that when you do not see him for a while you “won- der what he is doing.” Some lovers are like that, Alice-in-Wonderland. They sit back and just smile at us when we say, “Go away, and forget me. I do not want to be loved.” They just smile because they know. How do they know? J@it the uncanny something tucked away in the heart that tells them. Perhaps,.the same thing that tells us when a man says, “Very well, I am through.” He says it very thoroughly, and grasps his hat and stick very firmly and stalks out ver” proudly, and is gone. But we know. And the voice on the phone does not surprise us at all. Because we knew he would come back. And so your lover smiles when you tell wn Ogg forget, and you ask what it means. It just means that it is great to be young and great to be loved, and great to be able to say, “Go away.” and know that they will come back! Have your youth, Alice-in-Wonder- land. Have all its glory of wonder and doubt, and all its pride of know- ing! For you do Know, Alice, and you will always know, while lovers smile and lovers frown—you will know. This column is for you!

A SILVER JUBILEE TO MARK A QUARTER-CENTURY OF EFFORT By NELSON B. BELL T is conceivable that as the Warner Brothers prepare to launch the Silver Jubilee celebration of their entrance into the hazardous business of the celluloids, to which the month of August is to be dedicated throughout the land, a retrospective survey of their film adventures during the quarter-century of their activity might give rise to some faint symptoms of pride in the remarkable resili- ency and recuperative power they, as a firm, have shown. The Warners—originally a foursome, but now reduced by the untimely death of Sam to a trio, composed of Harry M., Jack L. and Maj. Albert Warner, familiarly known to. the trade-as ‘‘Abe’’—have bounded back oftener and bounced higher than any other firm it is possible to bring to mind. In the early days of their productional enterprises, the bank roll, prime requisite of survival in an industry that still retains much of the instability of a game of chance, was not by any means so plethoric as it has become of later years. They had it one day and They were salvaged more than once in these bewilderingly chaotic days by the redeeming quality of fortitude that never permitted them to recognize defeat. Despite the fact that they struck bottom with persistent regularity, they always man- aged by some miracle of dogged determination to come back, and frequently could be found for brief intervals perched upon the heights, where today they at last seem to be established with something more than a fair promise of permanency. It is one of the recurrent legends of Broadway and Hollywood that the Warners, in the recent years of their greatest opulence, have arranged for annuities of such substantial proportions that were all of their corporate assets to be swept away, each of the boys still would have an income of $1,000 per day. For this golden tale I can not pérsonally vouch, although I do not particularly doubt it. Since‘they have finally reached the higher ground, treasure has poured in upon them in such volume that the stream could not have been stemmed, even had they so desired. : Perhaps, after all, there is something in the law of compensation, or at least of averages. it was gone the next. + * *. WENTY-FIVE years is a long time for a group of comparatively young men to have been in business together. It marks an ample span to encompass a considerable number of minor successes, a few triumphs and an ominous list of abysmal failures. All this it has done for the Warners. But it has done more than that. A quarter of a century of uninterrupted effort has permitted the brothers to demonstrate the possession of a pioneer spirit that has not only defied the pinch of dire financial straits, but has revealed a zeal in blazing new trails that stands almost without a parallel in the history of the cinema. The Warner Brothers, in short, have done as much for pictures as pictures have done for the Warner Brothers. This is not so exaggerated a statement as it might appear upon the face of the extended interval that was required for Harry and Jack and Abe to gain a position of leadership among the powerful producing groups. As the ultimate goal was slowly approached, with many setbacks along the way, it was apparent from time to time that they were not holding always to the well worn path and traveled road but were venturing upon new and untrod trails. For example, they were among the first to perfect the film ex- change as a necessary and efficient intermediary between the pro- ducer of pictures and their exhibitors. The same perspicacity was demonstrated locally at about the same time by Tom Moore, owner of the Rialto Theater property, under lease to Universal. The Warners then were merely sales agents. It was not long, however, until they launched courageously into the complex problem of deter- mining the trend of public amusement taste and then attempting to satisfy it by the production of marketable films. These films, after the manner of their early day, were no more than two or three reels in length. The four enterprising young Warners were by no means the last to perceive the approach of the feature picture of five or six reel footage. In fact, they were among the first to do anything about it. And then is when their real bap- tism of fire actually began. It was from the Warner offices, as I recall it now, that the first broadside heralding a series of screen specials adapted exclusively from novels in the best seller class emanated. But that was not a drop in the bucket to what was to follow a few years later. | the world by the successful application of sound to the screen by means of Vitaphone. Nothing more completely revolutionary could have been conceived. The ensuing readjustment has not even yet run its full course, nor will it soon. Having proved the value of sound as an accentuating element of ghadow drama, the development of the 100 per cent dialogue picture was undertaken and brought to a surprisingly successful culmination in ‘“‘Lights of New York,” the first all-talking picture ever offered for public consumption. Compared with the perfected product of the present, ‘“‘Lights of New York’’ was pretty terrible, but it has always been my firm conviction, and still is, that as a ‘“‘first one’’ it was more nearly a satisfactory commodity than the first telephone, the first automobile or the first silent picture. Not content with the colossal achievement of rendering the screen articulate, the Warners went ahead and by sagacious contracts with Technicolor blazed the way for a wider use of color on the silver sheet. To repeat one more of my reiterated beliefs, ‘‘Gold Diggers of Broadway” was and is one of the best all-Technicolor productions ever released—a Warner Brothers picture. While they have been ominously quiet upon the topic of the wide- angle photography and projection, the Warner boys have been ex- perimenting unostentatiously and are understood to be about ready with an enlarged product that will take immediate rank with Fox Grandeur Film or Paramount’s Magnafilm when the opportune-time to spring it arrives. In the light of past performance, it would be Continued on Page 3, Cglumn L _ - o +.

CLEVER FARCE | FINE VEHICLE FOR FUNSTER Edward Everett Horton, in “Once a Gentleman,” a James Cruze produc- tion of a clever comedy-drama, blended with hundreds of hilarious predicaments, now playing at R-K-O Keith’s, furnishes the popular star | with one of his best roles. He 1s | * supported-by Lois Wilson, Francis X.; ¢ iF Bushman, King Baggot and many; 2@ other screen personalities. |@ The story of “Once a Gentleman” ; a concerns a valet whose faithful ser-' vice to his employer, a Mr. Van War- | ner, is rewarded by being given a | month’s vacation, $1,000 in cash, a | complete wardrobe and an admoni-, tion to enjoy himself as a gentleman. He is taken to the station with great style and as Oliver is about to board the train Mr. Van Warner tells him to look up an old friend, Col. Breen, at the Gotham Club in New York. At the club he finds that Col. Breen is in Bermuda, and other mem- bers of the club mistake him for a personal friend of Col. Breen. Oliver is almost recognized by a former guest of his employer and this causes him great uneasiness. The former guest, however, is unable to place him in his mind, much to the relicf of Oliver. He is then invited to the home of.a Mr. Bannister, a member of the exclusive club, and here he falls in love with the pretty house- keeper. Things begin to happen then. One predicament after another follows, but the ending is a sufpris- ing and a happy one, An interesting travel talk, current news reel and Freddy Clark and his R-K-Olians round out the bill. Since it was discovered that Ed- ward Everett Horton has one of the finest recording voices in Hollywood, he has been busier than the pro- verbial bee. Horton is at present, or it sched- uled to play, in several feature pic- tures. With a successful stage ca- reer to his credit, Horton, unlike many of his screen contemporaries, required no coaching in voice or Stage technique. Instead he began ta capitalize his training and ability as soon as the sound pictures became the vogue. He found short talking comedies an excellent stepping stone to stardom and was soon featured in several successful features. MUCH-PRAISED PLAY REACHES. METROPOLITAN A talking picture to satisfy the most exacting critics of the screen is “Hol- iday,” the smart and sumptuous comedy-drama now being presented at Warner Bros.’ Metropolitan The- ater. “Holiday” comes to Washington with the highest critical praise. The most discerning students of the new cinema have been unable to find any flaw in cast, story or direction. The cast was carefully selected. Each character is made real and com- plete, so that each individual per- former possesses merit far above the average. The principals of the pro- duction are Ann Harding, Mary Astor, Robert Ames, Edward Everett Horton, Hedda Hopper, Creighton Hale, Hal- lam Cooley and William Holden. “Holiday” is a careful and intelli+ gent adaptation of Philip Barry’s successful stage play of the same title. It concerns two girls and a man— two girls of considerable wealth, beauty and social prestige who fall in love with a young man who, an idealist, has little regard for money as such, but is determined to enjoy life while young and leave to more avaricious souls the task of accumu- lating great wealth. Unfortunately—or fortunately, as the story may, disclose—the girl who is the object of the man’s affections The sister whose affections idealist steps into prominence in an Directed by Edward H. Griffith and supervised by E. B. Derr, the produc- tion leaves nothing to be desired in action, dialogue, settings or photogra- phy. The Metropolitan also offers new Vitaphone Varieties and the Uni- versal newsreel, with Graham Mc- Namee newacasting. One of the most difficult things in casting a picture is the selection of players who are supposed to be mem- bers of the same family in the story, declares Edward H. Griffith. A cer- tain resemblance is necessary if the illusion of blood relationship is to be carried out. Since most actors or actresses attain fame because of their individuality, this is rather difficult to achieve. Director Griffith was faced with this task when he began work on “Holiday.” Ann Harding fills the featured lead in the picture, and it was necessary to find players who could A at poruray her sister and brother. ” After a thoreugh survey, Mr. Grif- fith finally settled upon Mary Astor for the sister cnd a New York stage actor, Monroe Owsley, for the brother. Joan and John. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is rapidly as- sembling the supporting cast of “Great Day.’ Joan Crawford’s new in the chief masculine role, starring vehicle.

Jack Oakie in “The Sap From Syracuse” —Palace, SCRIBES FIND PROPS SOURCE OF GREAT JOY There is a “human interest” set in one of the sequences of Jack Oakie’s newest picture, “The Sap from Syracuse” which is being shown all this week at Loew’s Palace. The “human interest” qualification was bestowed upon this set by a group of newspaper men who visited the Paramount New York studios while the picture was in the making. Since journalists are considered to be authorities on the humanities, the qualification in this case clings. Neither pretentious nor novel, the set attracted widespread interest at the studio, and during their visit, the newsmen made four trips to this particular scene. Each.time their in- terest grew, and after regarding it in rapt silence for several minutes, they chorused a deep sigh, a phil- osophical “Oh well!” and walked away. When Dan Doran, property man at the studio, received the order for the requirements of the set it read: “The Old Brass Rail:” Scotches: Haig and Haig, John Dewar, John Jameson, White Horse, Peter Dawson, Perfection, Black and White, King George. Ryes: Old Dur- ham, Three Feathers, Old Overholt, Old ‘Crow, Wilson, Mount Vernon, Hunter. Gin: Steinhager, Piccadilly, Geneva, Gilbery Dry, Gordon Dry. Bitters: Angostora, Mulligan, Boone- kamp.

On the stage, Teddy Joyce, the Prince of Pep, and Evelyn Wilson, from George White’s “Scandals,” Miss Per- sonality in person, appear in the Capitol Theater, New York, revue, “Cheer Up.” Paul Sydell and Spotty, George Dormonde, The Four Flash Devils and Emily Adreon complete the cast. Dick Leibert makes his final bow at the organ this week offering an- other unique and original console creation. “Dad's Day,” an M-G-M comedy, the Hearst Metrotone News and the Palace Orchestra, under the direction ‘of Harry Borjes, complete program. STAGE HIT ON SCREEN MAKES FOR LAUGHTER Roars of wholehearted laughter are the constant accompaniment of “Top Speed,” the Warner Bros. and Vita- phone comedy success, starring Joe E. Brown and Bernice Claire at Warner Bros.’ Earle Theater, this week. The inimitable Brown is surrounded by a large and Capable cast in this clever adaptation of one of Broad- way’s biggest musical comedy hits of the past season. The picture retains all the best features of the stage pro- duction, and adds many laughs and thrills. “Top Speed” reproduces in hilarious detail the adventures and misad- ventures of two bank clerks on their vacation at a fashionable summer re- sort, where they pretend to be mil- lionaires. ‘ They win the affections of “two wealthy girls on the eve of the big speedboat races, the climax of the social season at the resort. The father of one of the girls discharges his speedboat pilot for suspected crooked- ness, and recruits one of the clerks. The substitute pilot is approached by a villainous competitor with a propo- sition to “throw” the face. The speedboat races are thrillingly filmed, and the issue is constantly in doubt. “Top Speed” is equipped with a laughable happy ending which is a surprise to its audiences. In the cast are Jack Whiting, Frank McHugh, Laura Lee, Rita Flynn, Wade Boteler, Edmund Breese and many others. Additional film attractions include new Vitaphone Varieties and the Pathe and Paramount newsreels. For the first time in the history of sound pictures an entire cast of fea- tured players and a director have been collected exclusively of graduates from the legitimate stage. In “Top Speed” lies an experiment that is be- ing closely observed by every produc- tion head in Hollywood. On the suc- cess or failure of this production hinges the future of many stage stars now in Hol®ywood and many film stars on their way to obscurity. For, should a picture composed en- tirely of actors and a directof drafted from the ranks of the legitimate theater be a success, it proves the value of stage training to actors of sound pictures. The question of whether or not a stage training is of any worth in the talkies has been argued between es- tablished film stars and established} stage stars since Vitaphone first. rear- ed a young but determined head, and Joyce Compton '—F oz, OLD FAVORITE BACK TO LIFE IN THE FILMS Ronald Colman is now appearing at Loew’s Columbia as that famous char- acter of mystery fiction, “Raffies,” in a United Artists production, Kay Francis, David Torrence and Frederic Kerr appear in the supporting cast. The story of Raffles’ advehitures have been told and retold for past 20 years on stage, screen and in fic- tion. The story, briefly, is that of a society burglar, gentleman born and bread, who robs for adventure, not for profit. Having found the girl of his heart, he commits one last robbery, and then. swears to follow an upright, honest life. Grave complications fol- low when his best friend becomes in- volved in a bad check charge. One last robbery is the only solution Raf- fles is able to devise to help his friend and make the check good. At the home Lady Melrose, under the very eyes of Scotland Yard mén, he manages to secure her famous jew- els. However, Inspector McKe suspects him and has him followed to his apartment. There Lady Gwen, his betrothed, follows Raffies to warn him and pledge her love-in spite of what she suspects. The inspector arrives upon the scene and finally Raffles claims a thousand pounds reward for his friend to meet the check and then produces the jewels. As the police go to arrest him he disappears from the room with the understanding that he will ‘|meet Lady Gwen in Paris to start life anew. Laurel and*Hardy appear in an M.-G.-M. comedy, “Bacon Snatchers;” an M.-G.-M, Colortone Revue, “Man- hattan Serenade;” the Hearst Metro- tone News and the Columbia Orcheés- tra, umder the direction of Claude Burrows, complete the program. ONCE AGAIN A LONG LIST OF VARIED UNITS From pulling basting threads in & tailor shop to featured roles in all- talking pictures is the story, in brief, of Frank Albertson’s colorful and in- teresting career. Albertson, as & boy, in order to pay his way through Hollywood High School, worked at odd jobs, and one of them was assisting the tailors in one of Hollywood's fashionable shops, the same shop, by the way, that turned out the immaculate dress suit and other modish garments he wears in “Wild Company,” Fox movietone emotional drama, in which he is co- featured with H. B. Warner. In “Wild Company,” which is nowat the Fox Theater, Albertson portrays the character of Larry Grayson, reck- less son of the principal business man of the town in which the plot unfolds, and H. B. Warner enacts the role of the father. The boy, left to his own devices and furnished with more money than is good for him, falls into bad com- pany as the result of a flirtation with a night club singer and, eventually, becomes involved in a robbery and murder though he was not an ‘actual participant in the crime. He is tried but escapes a prison sentence prin- cipally through the efforts of his father who, in court, takes the blame for; his boy’s shortcomings, Sharon Lynn enacts the role of the cabaret singer who leads the youth astray, and others poeenene in the cast are Joyce Compton, Kenneth Thompson, Richard Keene, Frances McCoy, Mildred Van Dorn and Claire McDowell. The picture was directed by Leo McCarey. On the stage is Fanchon and Mar- co’s “Manila Bound,” another of the stage creations coming from Holly- wood. Featured is George Givot, late of Earl Carroll's “Sketch Book.” Others are Lloyd and Brice, Romero Family, Stella Royal, Samuel Podraza and, of course, another bevy of Sun- kist Beauties. The week marks the final seven days of 8am Jack Kaufman as master of ceremonies, he leaving to spend four weeks in Brooklyn and a like number of weeks in each of the Fox de luxe theaters. After this tour he will return, to Washington for a brief stay. Ron and Don, imported from the West, introduce something new in the way of organ music to Washing- ton, offering a distinct novelty, while Leon Brusiloff and the Fox Grand Or- chestra play an unusual overture. As an added feature Fox Movietone News offers an exclusive showing of the three famous service bands, Army, Navy and Marine, a special subject taken on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

TWO NICE BOYS FROM JUNGLE _ THINK HOLLYWOOD A BIT MAD OST people who live in this fantastic, capital of the mov- ies think it is a swell place, and miost of those who don’t live here probably picture it as a sort of Arabian Nights city come” true. But to Mutia and Riano Hollywood is simply “kufanu”—and that, if you are not up on your Swahili, means weird, ¢razy, cookoo, impossible! Mutia and Riano are the”two Swa- hili tribesmen brought from their African jungle home six months ago to this, one of the most hectic of civilized spots, to give the authentic finishing touches to a picture of African life which was begun in their forests and completed here. Big, black, panther-like in action, unfettered by convention, primitive as their own jungle growths, the two have reached some original and in- teresting opinions about America generally and. Hollywood particularly which, with the aid of the British interpreter who accompanied them and their native 200-word yocabulary, they express in the current sesiped oi Magazine. Not only: is Hollywood cookoo to Mutia and Riano, but— Americans wear too many clothes; they are imimodestly over- dressed. Greta Garbo may be the foremost thrill of the American male’ movie fan, but to them she ig just & white woman and her stomach’s too thin. ther fair stars of the screen are the e, if not worse. Mutia and Riano like bulk, not chic. The sooner they get back to Africa, where life is sane and reasonable, the happier they will be. .° Lawrence Tibbett, the opera atar, is the finest screen actor, according to them, because “he makes fine, big noise.” American women are “too much boss over men.” They do things dif- ferently in Africa. The pair, says the Photoplay arti- cle, has ceased to be amazed at. such things as pictures that talk, automo- biles, machines that fly through the air and other incredible devices of this Western world, but they still - punch the walls carefully and 100k | for the ceiling whenever they go into a new house to determine whether they are really in a room or only on ‘another movie set. . And they’ve decided’ to say nothing of what they. have seen when they return to Africa. “Our friends won’t believe us,” they explein, “They will think we are kufanu, too” AN EIGHT-POUND MITE MAKES OVER A TEMPERAMENTAL STAR ‘ERE is a popular theory con- cerning the spots of a leopard and their immutability... And like all fondly cherished miyths, this one is susceptible to puhcture..” For scientists on Warner Brothers’ Holly- wood lot, where “Moby Dftk” is bein ng filmed, have. discovered. a léopa whose spots have undérgone consid-" erable change. And th? leopagd’s name (a& curse on unhappy images) is John Barrymore, Scion of the world’s most renowned theatrical family, the dashing John has been the subject of a thousand fantastic word pictures, each one de-+ picting him in the guisc of a fiery un- bridled genius who bowed only to the god. of mnonconformity. These widely exhibited canvases, painted many years ago when‘he was the idol | of a continent of theatergoers, have gathered dj since he entered the ranks of Warner Brothers’ stars and made hig first talking picture. In their place a whole gallery of new portraits has arisen, purporting to show the talented John in a -new getting, which merely sewed to em- phasize his aincontrollable tempera- ment. Whether or not these biographies in oil even approach accuracy, one can not say. It is sufficient that they excited comment and preserved that old illusion which prescribed that a genius eschew the conventions. Now, however, there is»a vast stir among Barrymore enthusiasts, for ‘something ‘has bdvpened to. distur their foseate conception of the hero. - About two motiths ago the change was first detected.

One of the Hollywood surgeons ¢é- timates in the Photoplay article that the majority of women over 30 now prominent in pictures have resorted to an operation at one time or an- other to renew or enhance their beauty, And the players are right, argues the writer, for beauty is the chief item of their stock in trade and the screen is a demanding critic of the slightest flaw. Although the opera- tions sometimes result unfortunately, most of the players feel the chance is worth while. The situation, however, has a lu- dicrous-pathetic side. Many screen as- pirants who have believed that only a fiaw in their features kept them from success have resorted to plastic strgery and gone through the ex- pense and in of the operations only to,find that not their appear- ance but simply lack of native abill- ity stood in their way.

It may have been a quiet season for the production and sales depart- ments of some automobile factories, but the engineering departments have been unusually busy. As a matter of fact, that always is the case. Just let things ease off a bit for the first mentioned parts of the establishment and the latter has to get busy to see what can be done about it. All of which contributes to the safety of the prophecy that quite a few changes will be wrought in auto- mobiles this summer and fall, in ad- dition to those already known to the public. More sixes will become eights, one front-drive car which has been lin- gering on the outskirts of actual production will actually get into it, a prominent eight is very likely to become a twelve this fa': ana an- other twelve is expected by next show time, there are likely to be numerous price changes up and down as new lines replace old ones, body design is destined to venture along new paths leading eventually to something radically different, the transmission situation is bound to be more agitated, brakes are going to be improved, and some few may break away from increased power as a way to better performance and try to achieve it by lightening their cars without making them any less com- fortable. ' That is all side. On the other, there may some mortality statistic additions. One former best seller which has been having a fairly difficult time this year would surprise very few on the inside if it actually disappeared. Another, less popular and not very old, is definitely slated to be with- drawn, In the general shift in vari- ous lines, with which the average enthusiast may not be able to keep pace, one well known series may dis- appear without the distinction of obituary notices. Efforts are going to be made to readjust the body type. situation with the likelihood that there will be considerably more _ convertible five-passenger models, the return of the Victoria type to several lines, and the submergence in some cases of coach or two-door sedan types which have diminished in popularity in the last two years. Genérailly speaking, changes that are taking place and will take place within the next few months are go- ing to be more numerous than radi- cal. Those qualified to speak declare that no year can be so dull that the automobile industry as at present constituted will step out and igfiore the basis of its past successes, a ba- sis that has been conservative. Cars that already have made their way to the market place in new garb intimate the trend in body design. Ever since engine powers began to in- crease to yield better performance, there have been engineers who indi- cated in no uncertain terms that an- other way to help performance was to redesign bodies to offer less re- sistance. The emphasis laid upon refinement of exterior detail in air- plane design with better performance in view has had its inevitable re- percussion in the motor car sphere. Distinctiveness is another desirable quality which is being reflected in the industry’s thinking with regard to different appearance. So, instead of presenting a broad, fairly flat surface to the airstream, the automobile is taking on an ap- pearance that splits the wind. A car introduced last year showed that ra- diators could be narrow and deep and yet need not be flat. Instead, it offered a pyramid-shaped center that sliced into the wind instead of striking ‘it broadside. Surprisingly to some, the car attracted a lot of attention for its beauty, especially from the frontal view. The design had achieved both beauty and util- ity at one stroke. It was bound to be adapted by others. Two of the newer models of another line already have it. It is a certainty that others are going to follow suit. Hoods and body super- structures also are going to be more effectively streamlined; the design deferring to the probable gains in performance. The chief changes in cars two years ago at this time affected the body or appearance. Last year emphasis was laid upon the chassis and its refine- ment. This year it would seem that both are coming in for an equal amount of attention. The chassis item that is first on nearly every one’s list for improve- ment is the transmission or gear set. In addition to the Arguments over three and four speed gear sets, the development of silent second and third speed transmissions, and a ven- ture or two into overdrive, the trans- mission picture now has a newcomer in the form of. free-wheeling. There are many reasons behind the transmission agitation. Chiefly, how- ever, two ends are being sought. One is greater ease and silence in gear shifting; the other# comparable road performance without excessive engine speed. The former is being sought through the silent second speed or the free-wheel device; the latter through the four-speed transmission in many cases. Many are curious to know just what free-wheeling means. About as simple an explanation as can be giver. is that free-wheel is the application of the bicycle coaster brake principle to an automobile. A coaster brake, if one is hazy on the subject, is a device that permits the transmission of power in only one di- rection. In the case of the automobile which offers such device it means that while’ the power of the engine can be transmitted to the rear wheels in the usual fashion, the momentum of the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine—unless the driver chooses and renders the free-wheel in- operative. The instant the accelerator is re- leased, the connection between the engine and the rear wheels is broken. It means that gears may be shifted without use of the clutch for the eimple reason that there is virtually no movement of gears in the trans- mission. Silent and positive shifting are the result. As always, some are looking with envious eyes upon the simple, sturdy three-speed transmissions used in the two fastest selling cars. In each case, these simple gearsets are usable be- cause the engines are fairlWilow speed types, yet provide an excellént power to weight ratio. And neither has a transmission problem. The injection of free-wheeling into the transmission situation has been interesting. The sponsor of the device, which has been used in various forms for two years in Europe, has been one of the severest critics of the four- e transmission, pointing to its LN OE YTS not only from a mechanical but from a driving view- point. ; In two of the most expensive cars, one of which is a subsidiary of the maker just referred to,. four-speed transmissions are used which are strikingly simple: It would. not sur- prise some observers to see versions of these gear sets appear in less ex- nsive cars before 1931 deposits the of ite new models. on the a) constructive | be | It has been clear for some time that the clever solution of quiet gear shifting offered last year by an- other maker of fine cars would be in- troduced on still other products of the same corportion as it now has been. This design solved the prob- lem effectively without adding greatly to the transmission complication nor to the expense of its production. The products on which this feature first appeared, incidentally, are not trou- bled with reduction of engine speeds at high road speeds. Neither engine is emphatically of the high-speed type. The thought of improving the power-weight ratio of cars by reduc- ing the weight is one that many ex- pect manufacturers to dwell upon during the next few months and probably years. Gasoline economy is not what it formerly was, and, while the car buyer is not protesting, better fuel performance would give one a talking point in sales. © The next set of models, whether they are using hydraulic or mechani- cal brakes, are likely to have more efficient brakes. Car performance always must be matched by brake performance, and the former is in- creasing at a rate that has many convinced that the servo action of brakes must be improved. In other | words, that the brakes must be made | to do more work an@ the driver less | in bringing the car to a stop. Shoe rigidity and sturdiness are two other points about brakes that will be improved. Some observers think that brakes which operate themselves, perhaps by electricity or some other method, with only a simple, easy start by the driver are much nearer than is generally realized. Valves, and it must not be for- gotten that the exhaust valve is the weakest link in the poppet-valve en- gine, will reflect refinement in the newer cars. So will the carburetion and ignition systems, though the changes will not be especially dras- tic aud probably not so far-reaching aS Many could have hoped. The endless attack on wheel wob- ble and the elimination of vibration of other kinds will show up in minor changes of various kinds in the new cars. The practice of using a shock- absorbing member at the rear of the left front spring is destined to find several new converts on the basis its success in the wheel-wobble attack. On the whole, with the weather eye to the danger of too rapidly obsolet- ing cars previously sold, the designer is going to offer numerous new de- partures, although the chances are in favor of few of them deserving the designation “radical.” + * + “Bargains” as applied to automo- biles usually is reserved for used cars The current summer, however, has seen more new-car bargain sales than ever before. The cars disposed of in such sales have been models about to be super- seded by still later models. They have been absolutely new in so far as service is concerned, acquiring their age only through the fact that some- thing still newer was in the offing. In the opinion of many authorities, at the original prices these cars rep- resented bargain. They stood as the very best that a remarkably alert en- gineering department could produce at a specified price. And then out of a clear sky that price has been re- duced in several notable instances. There is no reason why the bargain sale on such cars should not -be a success, both from the dealer’s and buyer's standpoints. The dealer does not make a profit, of course, save by the indirect method of being pre- pared to stock the new model. the buyer gets a chance to buy a car that was worth every cent originally asked for it at a price far below that figure. There will be a later model out almost as soon as he makes his buy, but dollar for dollar he has ob- tained a remarkable value. The automotive industry generally has come to look upon the frank clean-up of obsoleted cars at reduced price as the most intelligent solution of the problems involved. The pub- lic is learning quite as rapidly that of all the bargains it is offered, regard- less of what the commodity happens to be, these are among the truest and best. It strikes many that the solution is destined for a long and popular life. ‘ Qualifying for a driver’s permit is not the easy task it used to be. Some States are becoming quite strict in their requirements, and, in the lan- guage of the law, the applicant must “show cause” why he should be given the privilege of driving before it is granted. Benjamin G. Eynon, commissioner of motor vehicles of Pennsylvania, states that 25 per cent of the appli- cants fail on the first examinafion and 3 per cent ultimately fail alto- gether in qualifying. “what a tragedy it would be to let those 3 per cent loose on the high- ways!” declares Mr. Eynon. os = - 7 company executive according to a state- to him, when the an airplane and an automobile both of which will be driven by the same engine. When he wants to fly, the head of the family merely will remove the engine from the motor car chassis and mount it in the plane. - Perhaps the prophecy is correct. Yet, one can not help realizing that many motorists today are too lazy even to ask that air be put in the car’s tires. As for changing engines, they probably would prefer trying to use the plane as a glider. 7 * a > A motor car foresees the day, ment attributed family will have It is worth remembering when breaking in a new car that the speed in second gear never should be al- lowed to exceed half of that prescrib- ed for high gear driving. In other words, if the manufacturer sets 30 miles an hour as the proper high gear speed for the first 1,000 miles, one should not exceed 15 m., p. h. in second. It is a matter of keeping the engine from getting above a cer- tain revolutions per minute.

GROUND EFFECT CITED Wind resistance becomes a more im- portant factor in automobile speed as improvement of»highways dimin- ishes the road and rolling resistance, and at 40 miles per hour begins to overshadow the latter factor. Prof. Felix W. Pawlowski, Guggen- heim professor of aeronautics, Uni- versity of Michigan, speaking before the Society of Automotive Engineers recently, described the manner in which automobile models had been tested in aeronautic wind tunnels. AS a result of his investigation, he states that (a) “ground effect” has an appreciable effect upon the “drag” or resistance to motion of an auto- mobile. The wind tunnel tests of a single model do not permit the pre- diction of Wind resistance of an actual car even for comparative pur- poses, since the error might be from —3.to +21 per cent at 60 miles per hour, or from —5'% to +15 per cent at 90 miles per hour; (b) the zero- lift condition with ground effect would eliminate the induced-drag item from the total wind resistance, a condition that might not always be fully realizable; (c) the so-called per- fect streamlining is not very well pos- sible, as it would lead to longer bodies that would render the parking situa- tion still more acute; (d) partial streamlining, rounding of edges and corners, beveling of flanks, streamlin- ing of wheels and similar modifica- tions promise a considerable reduc- tion in wind resistance. Professor Pawlowski further points out that wind tunnel tests of auto- mobile bodies are somewhat errone- ous, due to the absence of a cross- wind force which tends to push the body toward the ground. One investigation made in the Aerodynamic Laboratory at the Uni- versity of Michigan which was con- ducted with models of phaeton, a coupe and a sedan at wind ve'ocity of 60, 70, 80 and 90 miles per hour, showed -he effect increased the air re- sistance for phaetons and coupes, but decreased it for sedans. These tests showed that in the case of the sedan the cross-wind force takes the form of a positive lift of approximately the same value as the downward force of the ground effect and hence re- sults in a decrease of air resistance.

HEINL : ORLD-WIDE confidence in the enduring success of American W economic undertakings as evidenced by the heavy foreign investments in our enterprises will be discussed this evening by Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce (WMAL, 6:45 p. m.). Recurring comment on our position as a creditor nation has fairly well obscured the astonishing fact that the American people today owe more money to foreigners than do any other people on earth. The meaning and implications of this indebtedness in relation to our business’ stability. will be outlined by Dr. Klein. Pp by the preaching, the revival singing and the frequent ‘‘Amens’’ from the congregation into the broadcasting of the services of the Gospel Spreading Association, of 2030 Georgia avenue, every Sunday evening at 6 o’clock, over WJSV. ‘‘You’re not listening to Amos ’n’ Andy,’’ Elder Michaux informed the invisible audience last week. ‘‘Amos ‘’n’ Andy are getting stale. We dre getting fresher and fresher every Sunday.”’ é This despite the fact that the thermometer at that moment was hovering around 106; the hottest day the Capital had ever known. ‘Tt’s hot here, too,’’ the elder continued, “but we’re not complain- ing. Some say it’s too hot. Some say it’s too cold, but we say what the good Lord sends to us is just right. We thank’the Lord for this hot day! “You'll be on. the job tomorrow sweating for the dollar. ought to be on the job today sweating for the Lord.” ‘Praise the Lord,’’ brothers and sisters were heard to exclaim. Following old-time singing by the Female Quartet and members of the congregation, Elder Michaux came on with some red-hot sugges- LENTY of the old-time colored camp meeting spirit is injected You tions for a Satanic war. ‘‘Hallelujah,” he shouted. ‘‘We’re here fighting the devil!” As the elder warmed up to the subject, the response from an enthusiastic congregation became more and more frequent. Altogether it was an unusual radio presentation, and one which Elder Michaux declares is bringing in telegrams and letters every Sunday from many parts of the country. NCOMMONLY good programs have been coming over from U Station WBAL, at Baltimore, Sunday mornings. The WBAL string quartet will be heard at 9 a. m., an artist recital at 9:30, fol- lowed by an hour’s program by the Concert Orchestra at 10 o'clock. In order to increase its service to the public, WBAL has applied to the Federal Radio Commission to increase its power from 10,000 to 15,000 watts. | ° Frederick R. Huber, director of WBAL, and Baltimore’s municipal music director, sails next week for South America, where he will at- tend performances of the Metropolitan Opera Company in Buenos Aires. Mr. Huber spends his summers scouting around foreign countries for ideas, which doubtless accounts for the musical pre-eminence of WBAL. UDGING by the letdown in the so-called “good music” programs 4 and some of the poor offerings at this season, broadcasters must think those who desire to hear the best in music are nonexistent during the summer. Evidently this same situation obtains in Eng- land, for “‘Auribus,”’ writes in the Musical Times, of London: “We do not suddenly change our musical tastes when the ‘r’ drops out of month. The thing we will not do in summer is to spend an evening in a stuffy concert hall and for that reason it has been found impossible to carry on the concert business when the hot weather arrives. . “And so. the musical world has come to regard the ‘end of the | musical season’ as a definite entry on the calendar, all because it is unpleasant to be one:of a warm and inclosed crowd. ‘This end of the season shadow seems to have fallen on the British Broadcasting Corporation, in spite of the obvious fact that broadcasting has noth- ing to do with inclosed crowds. “It may be argued that summer evenings tempt people away from their receiving sets. True, in some cases, put believe*me, by far the most popular summer evening recreation is to sit Near an open window, without a collar, and to avoid any form of exercise beyond an occasional flexion of the right elbow. And that is the time and state in which the average keen musician is, most, not least, ready to listen to the radio.” | RADIO PROGRAMS _| 8 p. m.—Maijestic Theater of the Air— National High School Orchestra and Red- ferne Hollingshead, tenor. 9 p. m.—Mayhew Lake and his band. “i . d the Samovar.

ADVISED ON HEADLIGHT USE Old Need of Turning Them On During Daytime No Longer Exists. ~ BATTERIES IMPROVED It is not advisable to turty.the car’s headlights on in the daytime. In the early days batteries and gen- erators were ‘not in their present state of high development. Batteries were undersized and would charge fully with a few hours’ driving. In order to avoid injuring batteries jt was often suggested to turn the lights ‘on on long drives in summer as a means to reduce the charging rate. Today this practice is not needed. If a motorist is in the habit of taking unusually long and steady trips he can have the generator charging rate reduced which automatically takes care of the situation. There is only one way that a driver can tell if the battery ig being over- charged and that is if it néeds to be refilled with water more than once a week. Another good bit of information for motorists to know about concerns spark-plug gaps. If the car at any time operates with a jerky or uneven motion, have the spark plug gaps ex- amined as the electrodes probably are worn too far apart. A Jazz Argument Compares Jazz Music to_ Prohibition. To the Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: Whenever I hear Vincent Lopez come on the air with his conceited self-introduction, “Lopez speaking,” I always feel like answering him with, “You don't tell me, Lopez; I thought maybe you were dancing or standing on your head.” In fact, I might think of him doing almost anything else but making music. When are the network executives who make up the programs going to wake up to the fact that the public is fed up with Lopez and his jazz ilk? This jazz wave is to the musical world what prohibition is to the country. The radio audience will re- volt, the tide will turn, and then may- be we will have some decent music to listen to the latter part of the night. ENRY WOODRUM. Urges Jazz Recognition. To thé Radio Editor of The Post— Sir: A few weeks ago I wrote to this column, saying “Because there is an abundance of cheap, incapable or- chestras, the really talented ones must bear the criticism of and indif- er to jazz of indiscriminate peo- p e,”’ Seriously, I wish people would write in, giving their views on jazz. It is” a pity that such orchestras as Paul Whiteman’s, Nathaniel Shilkret’s, Guy Lombardo’s and Leo Reisman’s should be heard with appreciation, annoyance or indifference, and yet not be commented on through such a wide-reaching medium as this col- umn.

LAUDED With their entrance into the twenty-eighth year of automobile manufacture, the Buick Motor Co. yesterday announced four new series cars in twenty different models, all powered with a straight-eight, valve- in-head motor, In the new Hine all those distinct Buick fundamentals,. such as unit power plant, torque tube drive, con- trolled servo-internal ~ brakes, sealed chassis and double-acting shock ab- as well as the. general out- ward appearance of the car, have heen retained. ~ Among the entirely new features are, in addition to the eight-cylinder motor, an engine oll temperAture reg- wlator, a syncro-mesh transmission, dual carburetion and torsional trank- shaft balancer. . The new series are divided as fol- lows: Six models in the 8-50 series, powered with an eight-in-line, valve- in-head motor, having a bore and stroke of 2%, x4%. This motor pro- duces 76% horsepower and gives the car a speed of 75 miles per hour. . Five models make up the 80 series on an 118-inch wheelbase. The motor in this series has.a bore and stroke of 3 1/16x4%, developing 90 horse- power and speed of 80 miles.per hour. In the two models of the 8-80 series and thé seven*models of the 8-90. se- ries, the motor has a bore and stroke of 3 5/16x5 Yfnches which gives the cars in these two series 104 horse- power and a speed of 80 miles per hour. The syncro-mesh transmission, it is claimed,-solves the problem of gear shifting and acceleration; the gears can be quickly and quietly shifted through’ all speeds. In this type transmission the second speed gears are in constant mesh and the shift- ng of secOnd and direct is con- trolled by a synchronizing mechanism which consists of a sliding gear clutch and engaging friction cones-> When making the shift the cones are engaged, bringing the speed of the gears and clutch in step. This per- mits the shift to be made without a clash. The engine oil temperature regu- lator is another of the important engineering features. Its construc- tion is the same as that used in the radiator. All the oil going to the bearings is passed through a water jacketed core, the temperature of which is controlled by the regular cooling . system. This system also benefits the engine in cold weather operation as the water in the cooling system warms very quickly to a nor- mal operating temperature, and pe aon raises the temperature of the oil so that it will flow freely and give an imple supply of oil to all working parts in a very short time. The dual -carburetor as developed ives the maximum in engize r- ormance, It is really a carburetor within a carburetor and each one feeds four cylinders thereby prevent- ing any possibility of either over- loading or starving any one cylinder at any time. All crankshafts have five large main bearings which are stepped up in size, front and rear making an extremely rigid and well proportioned crankshe@ft. They are fully counter- weighted and a new type torsional balancer ts used. This balancer is a unit ‘with the crankshaft. It is en- closed in the crankcase running in oil and fully protected against dirt and abrasives. Outstanding Improvements. w One of the outstanding improve- ments in the new 1931 line is the improved design and construction of the Fisher bodies. The bodies and chassis have been developed as a unit to produce the maximum in strength, rigidity and elimination of squeaks, rattles and breakage. Contributing factors in this in- creased body strength include a re- vision of the roof construction and the use of metal brackets in place of glued joints; stronger brackets at the windshield posts and rear corners; One-piece shroud and windshield panels and one-piece back and side quarter panels, ’ The toe board supports provide sub- Stantial bracing“ between sills and dash and also help to make a very tight front: compartmef#it, keeping out the heat in summer and cold in win+ ter. All front nts are thoroughly insulated at the dash, floor, and toe boards. The dash in- sulation is made of felt and celotex. The floor and toe-board insulation is a combination of heavy felt and rubber mat. This construction elim- inates sound, cold “and heat and adds greatly. to the quietness and smoothness of the new car. ' Wheel balance is very important on high speed cars and“ the wheels of the new Buick eight are balanced and extra provisions have been made so that, when tire.changes are neces- sary the wheels can easily be placed in proper balance. Special wheel equipment can be furnished for all models and provisions have been made to carry spare wheels on the fenders and-at the rear of car,’ The instrument boards and panels are entirely new. The instruments are all grouped in one, artistic panel; the control buttons and levers are all uniform in design and harmonize with the instruments.’ Two-way lighting ofthe instrument panel is furnished, giving ‘indirect lighting when driving and direct -lighting ‘when desired. An unusually wide range of fash- lonable modish colors have been created for the new Buick eight and a harmonious theme of trim and finish has been carried throughout the line. Other Featutes Mentioned. The following features are found on all closed bodies: Fisher VV ventilat- ing nonglare windshields, distinctive visors, screened ventilators in each side of cowl, adjustable front seats, all dome and side Corner light switches on door post, lower front seats and deeper cushions, new type rear viston mirror with ed ends, mahogany- finish garnish moldings around win- dows, button style trimming on all. cushions ‘and backs, and insulated SMITH AUTO LAUNDRY STREET.N.E.

Principal among engineering ime provements is “the new carburetor si- lencer with which the new President and Commander £ights are equipped. In effect, this feature is a small muffler attached to the air intake of the carburetor and practically elimi- nates carburetor noise. An important change which adds not only to greater engine efficiency, but to smarter appearance as well, has been made in the radiator de« sign of the new President and Come mander eights. The new radiators have a more efficient core, which the use of high turbulence air deflectors in the grid provide for better air cir- culation. | A thermostat in the cylinder jacket A new, improved fan, more silent in opera- tion as well as more efficient, come- pletes the improvement in the cool- ‘ing system. This method of cooling and thermostatic control has been found to be the most accurate means of maintaining cylinder water jacket temperatures and insuring warming-up conditions. The new radiator design creates a new vogue for smartness and in- creases the apparent size of the car when viewed from the front, as ‘well as making it appear lower and m massive, A new Ovaloid headlam has been developed which is in keep- ing with the new radiator treatment.

Czar Nicholas of Russia and Kaiser Withelm ef Germany, whose ruling houses were wiped out by the war. apparently has renounced its monarchical concepts almost com- pletely, for the royalist feel‘ng there at the present time is not important. . William II, last kingly scion of the House of Hohenzollern, which Bismarck raised from the ruling house of Prussia to imperial sta- tus, now is exiled at Doorn, a little town in Holland. He is embittered, naturally, but clings to the hope that eventually -he will be vindicated of the many charges laid against him. The crewn prince, whom fate cheated of am emperor’s throne, goes and comes quietly. It is not about ¢he crown prince, but about his fon, that what royalist sentiment is left seems to center most strongly. The Hohenzollern family was not so long accustomed to impe- rial greatness as was the Haps- burg house, but the German rul- ers traced their line back many centuries to the days of feudal baronies. When it was pushed aside by the war to make room for republican institutions, the passing of another distinct sign post of the past was marked. One can not take leave of Ger- waany without a few words about he man who from 1914 to 1918 as one of the strongest. props | the House of Hohenzollern, ne of its most loyal servants, ut who today, with a steadfast- ess and oneness of hich have won him world ac- plaim, is perhaps the greatest qupport of the present govern- ment. {| That man is Paul von Hinden- furg, President of the German Republic. Von Hindenburge’s story now is Fecognized as one of the great gpics of the war and post-war pe- ried. Before the outbreak of hos- tilities in 1914 Yon Hindenburg had retired from the army an old muan.® He was recalled to the col- ors, won a series of brilliant vic- ‘tories in the East—the study of the terrain ot which had been a jifelong obsession “with him—-and then was-sent to the wesfern front to a-sume.supreme command.

Immediately the cry went up that Von Hindenburg, whose ad- herence to the monarchy was un- questioned always, would simply pave the way for the return of the old system. The monarchists re- joiced; Europe and the rest of the world saw Germany once more headed to Junkerism. But Von Hindenburg not only has stamchly upheld the republic, but he has resisted all monarchi- cal movements and has become a symbol of loyalty to the repub- lic. By his actions he was won for himeelf a place in history far different from that which would have been accorded him had his eareer closed im 1918, and through his devotion te the cause of the republic he has won for Germany the good will of many who sat op- posite her at the council tables of Versailles. The House of Hohenzollern lost an empire through the war, but the House of Romanoff of Russia lost that and its existence as well, for all, or almost all, members of the royal family were put to death, several grand dukes since have died and most of those who were close to the czar and the ezarina have been scattered to the four winds. The House of Romanof, which ruled Russia up to 1917, was in- stalled in the year 1613, when the Czar Mihail Feodorovich ascended the throne. This house ruled tn- til 1762, when the dynasty be- came that of Romanof-Oldenbure. That was the line of which the late czar belonged. It has become reasonably well established that the czar and the ezarina and their family were executed by the Bolshevists. The execution took place at Ekaterin- burg. Lately, however, there has come a most interesting development. A young woman has claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of the royal couple, and her statements have received the endorsement of persons who might be expected to know something about the whole matter. Among those who have seen and spoken with this woman is a man who had considerable contact with the royal family and he has asserted that she is surprisingly versed in matters which only a “member of that family or persons close to it could know about. At any rate, whether the Grand Duchess Anastasia is or is not alive, the royal family in the mafn POST: SUNDAY.

The Soviet gov- érnment, which has succeeded the House of Romanof in the Musco- vite saddle, is an extremely strong agency, and following more than a decade of power gives no sign of cracking. After a millennium of imperialism, Russia’s palaces no longer are occupied by princes. | Another unforeseen develop- ment of that fateful day just six- teen years ago! Of all the royal houses of Eu- rope, that of Great Britain seems the most popular and the most permanent. The House of Wind- sor not only wears the crown and. holds. the scepter in 1930 as it did in 1914, but it unquestionably is quite as popular today as it was sixteen years ago when European monarchies were the rule rather than the exception. There is not a member of the royal family who does not have the respect of the British public; and observers in all seriousness have made -the statement that if the empire should decide to become a republic they probably would name Edward Prince of Wales, as first presi- dent! Moving eastward again, we find that the war has wrought no changes in the governments of either France or Belgium. France continues to be a republic, and some of the same men who were at the head of affairs in 1914 still are directing the ship of state in 1980. In Belgium, valiant King Albert holds a high place in the affections of his people. Belgium never will forget the manner in which the sovereign performed his grave duties during the years from 1914 to 1918, and the colors of his house whip firmly in the Flanders breezes.

It is not aceurate to say that the political situation in Italy today bles that of 1914, for one can never forget in speaking of Italy that one. Benito Mussolini is dictator. Mussolini has made Italy one of the most interesting of all the countries in the world, politically, and perhaps he has still more surprises up his amazingly capacious sleeve. . | While the sultans of Turkey: had been holding sway over constantly diminishing dominions during the last century, the Ottoman Empire was one of the world’s oldest in- stitutions. Today there are no sul- tans and Turkey is a republic. The metamorphosis of ‘this land from imperial. to republican status is one of the clearest indicators of the vast political influence of the World War. However, a country so accus- tomed to autocratic rules as Tur- key, finds -it difficult to become democratic overnight. Thus, we find that in the new capital, An- gora, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, an- other “strong man,” holds dicta- torial sway. Under Kemal’s re- gime, Turkey is progressing eco- nomically, and in many instances this “‘western-minded” dictator has uprooted old customs bodily and set Turkey on new pathways of thought and action. Nowhere in Europe is the change from 1914 to 1936 more apparent than in Turkey. While over in that portion of Europe, mention should be made of the Republic of Greece, which was a kingdom.

THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JULY 27. 1930. thracites Unlettered Statesmu WEEK ago, when the authra- A cite miners and the opera- tors signed a new scale and a new working agreement, to run for five and: one-half years, they announced, in a joint statement, that their act was ‘‘a remarkable contribution to ‘the stability of our American industry and American prosperity.” The remarkable . thing ‘about this_agreement was the ease with which it was reached, and the celerity with which both sides came to the same point. There Was no backing and filling, no crimination and recrimination, no hasty tempers and hot words. Both sides approached the mat- ter as sane and sensible business men, who knew what they wanted and how to get it, and who were willing to profit by the bitter ex- periences of the past. There was no increase in wages or salaries, and no decreases. That much was a gain to the miners, for. in the present busi- ness situation, where some in- dustries have cut wages, the miners showed that they have a statesmanlike grasp of the proba- bilities of the future of their in- dustry. They know that prosper- ity is just around the corner and that they too have a duty to per- form in making a contribution to its coming. They relinquish their just right to a share in that pros- perity to ho‘. the status quo. This front page story, and that very fact added emphasis to the im- portance of the act itself. Time and again the wage contracts of the anthracite: miners, fron. 1900 to 1922, were big and often heart- rending first page stories; and the way the news was handled, it seems to me, looking back on the history of collective bargaining in this country, has played no minor: part in developing a friend- ly relation _between mine owner and mine worker. How different this relation was in the gaunt, gray days of the past, this simple. writing in part shall tell. In 30 years there have been six strikes in the anthracite region, the first two of them and the last one having major importance even to the extent of threatening the life of industry in this coun- try. Two ofthese great strikes, that of 1902 and that of 1922, had to be settled by the President of the United States, and the last one wads gently laid in the lap of Congress for solution. These two events had tremendous importance wage contract-was not a_ The Calm, the Patience and the Thoughtful Sagacity of John Mitchell, the Untutored Miner of Mattoon, Ill., Paved the Way Twenty-Eight Years Ago for the Friendly Relations of Miners and Operators That Resulted in a Five-and-a- Half Year Agreement Last Week, Without Quib- ble—A Precarious Situation Rights Itself.

If the disembodied spirits of men come back to this earth, there must have been an interesting group of them hovering around the council board in:New York at which the latest agreement was signed.

How different it all was in the days when they grap- pled with that same problem. If the pious Mr. Baer, of the Read- ing Railroad, was there—and we dare say that he was not in, that group—no smile lit up his envious countenance, jaundiced with hate of the toilers who filled his bank box with bonds, and of the poli- ticians house. There was one clear head, one man of calm mind and _ silent tongue, one gentleman in all situ- ations in the negotiations that set- tled the most important and the most wasteful of all the anthra- cite strikes—that of 1902. Roose- velt bore testimdny to that when he said, speaking of the mem- orable conference at the White House attended by the operators and by John Mitchell and the dis- trict leaders of the miners: “There was only one man in that confer- ence that behaved like a gentle- man, and that man was not I.’ It “ was John Mitchell, the unlettered miner. We are still too near to John Mitchell’s interesting life to do justice to his character, but as the years go by he seems to rise in stature, as, say, Oliver Cromwell tises; and as he rises he seems to President Roosevelt, whose participation in the ye ja that - attended the coal strike of 1902 had much to do with-the termi- nation of the industrial crisis of- that- — ~ ~~ a who broke up his play : of this by himself. obscure all the other labor leaders of this country. I would not do injustice"to the memory of Sam- uel Gompers, a very wise man, or of any of the able leaders organ- ized labor has developed in this country, but in attempting to de- lineate the character of John ‘Mitchell one does get the idea that he was more of a statesman than Gompers, or any of the others. One has but to consider the appeal Gompers made to or- ganized labor for help for the striking miners in 1902, which ended with the suggestion that the whole controversy be left up to J. P. Morgan to be settled, “which is all that any self-respect- ing union man can do,” a sugges- tion that Mitchell promptly de- leted, to note how clearly the one man saw to the end of the contro- versy and how the other was act- ing impulsively and without thinking the matter through. The way of the laboring man in this country has been made easier and his dealings with his employ- er placed on a higher plane be- eause John Mitchell fought and won the historic—one might well call them epochal—battles for the anthracite miners. He was one of them, born and bred among them, inured to their hardships, acquainted with their privations, their sorrows, their hopes and their aspirations. As they lived so had he lived, and what they suffered so had he _ suffered. Through suffering, through medi- tating on the condition of the miners, his mind was opened anid he schooled it to think, and out of his thoughts came the program that ultimately brought about a change in the anthracite region. In his own day and by his own people he was resisted, often bit- terly, by the radical group, led by Tom Lewis, of Illinois. But in every contest he let his enemies have their say, choked off no de- bate, listened patiently to every word that was spoken, and then quietly replied, laying before the miners a-.program that would bring. victory, a victory’ that would last; and showing where violence always led to. The man’s patience, his ability to take pun- ishment for the cause he had dedi- cated his life to, and the tenacity with which he held before the miners the main questions in their quarrels with the operators, are most unusual attributes in an un- tutored leader. He seldom made a mistake; and none serious. Now it should not-for one mo- ment be thought that he did all He came ata fortunate time in the history of labor controversy, and this contro- versy drew to his side some of the brightest intellects in the coun- try—lawyers, publicists and jour- nalists. . Henry. Demarest Lloyd, the millionaire lawyer, who de- voted his fortune and his intellect and its wealth of knowledge to making mankind happier, was his staunch friend and adviser, and stood with hinf in the bitter con- troversy of 1902. Lloyd’s famous book on Standard Oil, “Wealth vs. Commonwealth,”’ is without a peer in the realm of such literature. It was Lloyd who advised Miitch- ell to employ Clarence Darrow as chief counsel for the miners in the 1903 arbitration; and he it was who advised Mitchell to send Darrow to Boston to consult with Louis D. Brandeis on the issue of | prosecuting the operators under ~ th e Sherman anti-trust law, a matter that for a moment dazzled Roosevelt and “was submitted to DAVID RANKIN BARBEE and Taft and Knox. But when the case was actually being tried, it was the calm clear head of John Mitchell that restrained Darrow and kept him from turning the hearing into an assault on capital, and-it was his hand that deleted from Darrow’s able summing up speech everything that would prejudice the case against labor. Walter Weyl and some other journalists were constantly at his side advising him on the matter of publicity, and their advice probably changed Mitchell’s ideas as to the value of public opinio2. He won his case very largely be- cause he built up a body of favor- able public opinion that not even J. P. Morgan dared withstand. In the preparation of his case for the Roosevelt board of arbitration he established a line of evidence that was so dramatic and so appealing that the operators’ own chief at- torney, Wayne MacVeagh, who was to hold a position in President Taft’s Cabinet, wanted to stop the investigation and make terms with the miners, but Brother Baer said he wanted his ‘‘vindication,’’ too; and he got it, for the case went on and when the board of arbitration was overcome and wept and asked Mitchell to end his testimony, it was seen that Mitchell had won labor’s greatest victory. No one has tried to take from Mitchell the credit for this accom- plishment, and whether he was advised how to do it, or did it of his own accord, the fact remains that he was the chief in the doing of it and made it a most effective job. Washington did not write his Farewell Message; James Mon- roe did not write the Monroe Doc- trine; Andrew Johnson did not write a single one of his incom- parable veto messages; the sub- limest thoughts in Abraham Lin- coln’s speeches and messages he found in the sermons and 7 speeches of Theodore Parker, oF Henry Clay and Daniel Webster and in the Declaration of Inde- pendence, which instrument was his political biblé. No one with- holds from these great men their just credit for their messages and state papers, and so it is with John Mitchell, Let us now look at how he worked to accomplish so much. He first came to public noticg when he called the great strike of 1900. Of course, he did not order the strike—the minerg themselves did this in convention; and there is no surer sign of Mitchell’s greatness than his will+ ingness to trust to the judgment of the miners. “Take the com- mon people into your confidencd and trust them,” said Andrew Johnson. to the young legislator; Benton McMillin, “I have never known them to fail any man who did.”” Even when he had author- ity to sign the agreement for arbitration of the strike issues of 1902, Mitchell was unwilling té do so. He took the matter back to the miners and let himself be abused for two days, and then won a vote of confidence and ap- proval. Bryan and McKinley were hav- ing their second great battle for the Presidency when the strike of 1900 began on September 17. Im- mediately the politicians in the G. O. P. began to attack Mitchell. William V. Webber, of the Ger- man-American McKinley-Roose- velt League, gave out a statement in which he charged that “the strike had been planned by Mr. Johnson of the Democratic na- tional committee, the mayor of Indianapolis, and John: Mitchell.” If this had been true, it would have injured the strikers, in pub- lic opinion at least. It was a queer combination. Tom L. John- son, the single tax mayor of Cleveland; Tom Taggart, who was the owner of French Lick Spa and identified with the gold bug fac- tion of the party, and John Mit- chell, a Republican. - Mitchell met this attack by commenting that ‘he was reluc- tant to believe Mr. Webber made the charge, and stated positively that the story was untrue; that he did not know Mr. Johnson and had never held a conversation with Mr. Taggart in his life, * * * that any man who would inaugu- rate a strike in the interest of any political organization would be deserving of the severest pun- ishment which could be meted out to him, and that any persons who made political capital out of the suffering and misery of the men, women and children of the an- thracite region would be wun- Continued on Page 15, Column 3 | Preaidaar Harding, faced with much the same problem in 1922 - a8 had harassed Roosevelt twenty years earlier, handed his dibs ~~ <<" ‘hig able cabinet; in which sat Root - ~~ vn =nm<tembties to Congress for final solution, PRP oto Ohad. ahs . , .

This past week, at Cherbourg, the good ship Roosevelt, of the United States Lines, landed the 1930 detachment—but for pleas- ure purposes only, The war is over. Now the Rainbow Division is a pretty saucy outfit. It was one pf the famous fighting units in the World War, and proud of it. Other divisions, made up of troops Zrom one State or another, have held their reunions with divisions other than theirs; but these Rain- pow men, the Lord bless ’em and keep ’em, usually stage their own parties, without benefit of out- Biders. This probably is because men from 26 States in the Union, and the District of Columbia, made up that happy fraternity. They came from here, there and yon. As the original idea had it, the Rainbow Division was named be- cause a rainbow, stretched across these grand old United States, would have showered its kaleido- scopic colors on all the States rep- resented in the division; from Maine to New York. After a six days’ trip across the briny, the boys landed on the old sod, the beloved soil of France, last Thursday—and bow! Today is when they really get their real] start—seeing France from the sidelines; instead of the trenches. Where formerly they he" ly a worm’s eye view of the terrain, this time they are £g0- ing over the top as guests of that grand old commander, Gen. Henri J. E. Gouraud. It was just about this time last year that Gen. Gouraud was in Washington—stopping off here at the French Embassy on his way to Baltir-ore where the Rain- bow Division held its eleventh annual r-union. A grand galaxy of American Army officers met the French general and took him over to the Monumental City. Amongst these men were Gen, Mat Tinley, now in command of al] the militiamen in lowa, and several surrounding States; Gen. Reilly, editor of the Army and Navy Journal, and enough colenels, majors and captains to fill a regiment; but there was nobody in the party lower in rank than a captain. + Gen. Gouraud had come all the Way from France as guest of the rnin bg Division. Further to ower honors on him, the men tr this division had elected him honorary president of the Rain- ow Division Society, a social or- ganization that stages al] these eunions. So it occurred to the ld general, on the way to Balti- More, that he might do a little inviting on his own behalf; and he forthwith stepped to the plat- Jorm, at a banquet in his honor, “nd invited the men of the Rain- bow Division to g0 overseas @gain; not in full fighting regalia, Bui as private citizens bent on a Oliday. They accepted the invitation, and today they are in France en- foying all the hospitalities, There are some who believe That generals never get into the thick of a fight, but Gen. Gau- aud did. He lost an arm and ad his hip shattered by a shell that blew him almost 300 feet from the spot where he was étanding, about 100 yards back ®f the trenches—and that is one reason why this outstanding sol- @ier of France is beloved by the ‘Americans, and especially the men who served with the Rainbow Di- vision. The Rainbow Division, inci- dentally, is the outfit that helped turm the tide of battle twelve years ago this month, when it looked as if’ the Germans were on their way across country—to demolish France and all its allied Jightimg. forces; to make the world safe for the Hohenzollerns and . the: BMapsburga,: + RG Hoo a 4008 eee *WeremQe German push. “We understand the French,” say the Rainbow fellows. ‘And they understand ug.” - Why shouldn’t they? Didn’t they all eat mud together? - So the reunion of the Rainbow Division on French soil, the first time the boys have been back in a. unit since they left there, in a unit, is going to be some event. It comes at a time that will bring back great memories, until August 22d. During that time the troops—-and their com- panions—will be feted and dined as only the French can fete and dine ’em; as they were feted and dined, sometimes, when they had leave of absence, or went A. W. O. L. in Paris. Here is what they are going to do: Take a special train from Paris to Chalons sur Marne. An old Washington newspaper man inci- dentally igs head of the consular office at Chalons sur Marne. He is the celebrated Billy Corcoran— and although he didn’t establish the art gallery here, he did have lots of friends among the art colo- ny—and he is all prepared to — meet the Washington contingent, of whom there are many notables. Of that, however later. One whole day will be spent at Chalons sur Marne. That is for the purpose of shaking off the old sea legs to get accustomed to the I:nd, Then, the boys and the girls, go by motor through the Cham- pagne sector—and what a sector. It’s the place where they make the celebrated drink forbidden in this country—sparkling ~cham- pagne, or champagney water, as some callit. Enuf of that. In the Champagne sector the Rainbow Division will see the splendid war memorial, at Navarin Farm, that the French people erected, with the name of the Rainbow Division engraved upon its granite side. There will be many happy memories recalled—— happy? pine, Maison Neuve, Tilloy, St. Remy, Suippes, Somme Suippes, Perthes les Hurlus, Hurles and Sonain.: * Bwas" @ ‘tong tims ‘ago~that - It will last . Certainméent!—of Le- . Meslin les ~ these old troopers traveled across the battlefields of Champagne— and many of their former com- rades fell there, where the German horde met American résistance. Naturally, what these veterans want to see most of all will be the battlefield, where they fought and bled—to make the world safe for democracy. Well, the be ‘there even on this da uly 27th—which has been selected as the Sunday, a peaceful Sunday, when they shall review their old prowess, and the place where their mettle was test- ed. Instead of walking, or march- ing, or trudging; or plowing, or whatever it was they did, they'll ride, this time, in motor lorries, across the battlefield of Cham- pagne.. They are going by way of St. Menehould and Clarmont en argonne to Verdun. - Verdun, What a magic word. There is the magnificent new me- morial chapel, and there will be vesper services, this time, with the celebrated. Father Duffy, of the old Fightin’ 69th—the pride of New York—as celebrant. -Father Duffy is the official chaplain of this outfit, the Rainbow, or Forty- second Division. On the next day, which is to- morrow, the troops will go, by motor, through the Argonne se¢- tor, by way of Bras, Consenvoye, Montfarcon, Cierges and Cumel. How many of the stay-at-homes recall these names? And what memories do they recall! There are boys out at Walter Reed, and at Mount Alto, who were over there with their buddies, and who can not go now—because-—— It’s just to bad; for the Rainbow Division, if it had its way, would have everybody with it on this party—everybody, that is, who saw se + Bday Basanca ne ogyrtemct ri one 0 grea war organ tions ever got together. It’s a strange thing how that name, Rainbow, means so much in war annals; how such a great spirit of camaraderie has been kept alive all these years; how men of other divisions do not fail to envy the boys of the Rainbow —and it’s probably because of this: The Rainbow Division came nearer ebeing+ an ¢zpression of ¢ How? meceiies © ‘ a - os, 6 oe America, drawn as it was from -natives of half the States in the - out, Union.

This Rainbow Division was the place for strangers, of all States—~ and now, after the years, they are strangers.no longer; but brothers under the skin. Certainly the Rainbow Division has the right idea, keeping te themselves, celebrating their own reunions as Rainbow men. All other divisions meet in the annual encampment, and so does the Rainbow with them; but when. it comes to a grand party each year, the Rainbow Division, like one great family, goes on its own pic- nic. And why not? The glorous thing about it all is that other veterans do not think the Rainbow men are acting in what some term “the high hat manner.”” It’s their party, and they're going to stick to it. There is a great American ceme- tery at Romagne. There are buried many men who wore that little segment of color, the color of the rainbow, on their left shoulders. -So their remalning comrades are going out there on Tuesday to pay the respect a fighting man always pays to & brother who fell on the field of battle. After the visit to the cemetery the Rainbow men -go on Cote de Chatillon through Sommerance, St. Juvin, St. Georges, Landres, Bantheville, Remonville, Bayon- ville and so down to: Consenvoye and back to Verdun. ; Of course, there'll be singing on the way—all the old songs and the new: “Do you remember Tvonis and her estaminet across the hill?” And, “Mademoiselle from Armen- tiers, Parley-Vous” And, “There’s a Long, Long Trail, a-Winding,”’ “It’s not the pack that you - carry on your back, Or the Springfield on your shoulder; It’s not the crust of 4-ineh khaki-dust That makes you feel that you are gtowing older; And it’s not the hike on the old turnpike That drives away your smile; Nor the sox of sister, That raise the blooming blis- ~~ ter——. It’s that last, long mile.’”’ And, Then there was that old song, “Dear Old Pal of Mine,” and just for the luck of it the gang will surely sing, “‘Keep Your Head “Down, Aleman.”’ Just so that the journey will be complete, the Rainbow Divi-. sion is going to the Rhineland. After they leave Nancy—the town, not the girl—they’re going to board a train ‘that will take | ‘em up the beautiful Moselle Val- ley, through Metz and Trier to Neuenahr, in the Valley of the Rhineland... There they will see such familiar places as.- old Bridgehead. Metz is a garrison city recently occupied by broth- ers-in-arm of the Rainbow Divi- sion men, the French Forty-sec- ond Division, one of the famous units of the French army that bore the same nuYherals as that of the American armed forces. It’s. going to be a grand and glorious party, no doubt; and the esthetic side has not been left for the Rainbow - Division will visit the cathedral at Rheims after they come back from the northern part of Champagne. Then they go to the Chateau Thierry sector by way of Jon- chery, Fismes, Chery, with a pause at the American cemetery at Seringes, where many” former: comrades are buried, - After that, with the battle- flelds and other sacred places all left behind, the troops go’ to Paris by motor. There are seven men. As the old song had it, “How'r you gon-a keep ’em down on t+ farm after they’ve seen Par-eét” LeSeans wen.

What interesting men just to fook at as they gathered toward théir new home. Those were transition days, and the whole ecene showed for it. Now and then a coach-and-four issued im- posingly from the roadway through the park and drew up at the door—some _ distinguished senators of the old school. Not surprising to see them step forth in knee breeches and buckled shoes, hair in queue and pow- dered. But, arriving in “hacks’’ or-afoot, came men of other ap- pearance; many in trousers and boots, their hair short after the manner of the new day. You could pretty well tell the members’ politics by their dress. Taken by and large, the queued ones in Knee-breeches were Fed- eralists; the short-haired ones in trousers were Republicans. And there you had about the only dif- ference between the parties. The old contention as to whether Na- tion or State should have the big letter had got lost as the flames of the burning Capitol fused the States into the Nation, the two parties.into a muddle. The Re- publicans were in the saddle—rid- ing like Federalists. Follow now those distinguished and confused lawgivers into their little makeshift home. Entering through the arched doorway, we come to the Senate chamber on the first floor. This is 45 feet long and 25 feet wide, with a height of 15 feet. Here we may not be held long. Atmosphere a trifle fu- nereal; and besides, no outstand- ing figures here such as we are expecting to find above. So up the broad staircase we go, into the chamber of the Represen- tatives. This is 77 feet long and 45 feet wide, with height of 20 feet. A large gallery runs along éne side.

There are desks for about 175 members; many without the members. Under easy-going infor- mality the missing ones are some- where about; gathered sociably over in the “coffee-corner” per- haps, or out in the gardens. Some of the men at the desks are still clinging to the old custom of keep- ing their hats on; though that is going. Now we send quick glances about for certain figures. Henry Clay, leader of the Republicans, is up there in the Speaker’s chair. Odd place for a man preeminent- ly an orator. Yet he has already, still in his thirties, taken first rank as a presiding officer. He looks the part pretty well—will better when he fills out. The long, spare figure is lithe and graceful; the countenance high- browed, big-mouthed and _ win- ningly homely. The most popu- lar member, this young man from Kentucky. Our eyes, roving over this up- per room, now rest upon a dif- ferent sort of person—just as long, about as thin, but more ro- mantic. Handsome John C, Cal- houn, of South Carolina, not yet 35, is here setting out to make a stir in the world. And he is doing it with about as tense a face and as deep-set eyes and as intractable hair as are to mark his later years. But now the hair shows something of attempt- ed parting, and the eyes have a fairly startling brilliance’ that they will not quite keep. Repub- lican of Republicans, future high priest of State’s rights, this strange genius is here the fore- most champion of Federal power. No danger of our overlooking that dark young man sitting there in an absorbed, brooding way—he of the great head and the big black eyes — Daniel Webster. About 35 years old, just becom- ing famous, he already is getting the “‘god-like’’ look. Those eyes, one day to recede beneath over- whelming forehead, now open 80 wondrously wide that brows seem fairly lifting to make room {for Buil ding. - them. However, probably he is not here called ‘“‘all-éyes,’’ as he was at college. We notice little side whiskers—don’t seem Web- sterian. This overaweing young son of New Hampshire is a Fed- eralist; whatever that means by now. No, that is not a boy sitting at the desk nearby. It is a man over 40 years old. If he should sud- denly rise, he would carry that small head, so almost child-like in countenance, 6 feet and 4 inches above the floor. We are seeing the famous Virginia orator, John Randolph, of Roanoke. A strange, lone figure here; a strange, lone figure to remain on through the long days of hig pub- lic life. Great and little, brilliant and puerile, sometimes almost in- spired, always probably more or less mad. Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Ran- dolph! A rather imposing galaxy gracing this temporary Capitol. The first three must be taken together. They do not know it yet, but they are starting in here to become that immortal trinity of geniuses, the Great Triumvi- rate. Virtually for the first time these young giants, Clay, Cal- houn, Webster, are now meeting ands measuring one another. Sometimes shoulder to shoulder, oftener divided this way or -that, they are largely to shape the destinies of the country almost [to the opening gun roar of the Civil War. One day came interesting vis- itors. A representative, called down to the street door, found a carriage waiting containing two wumen wishing to be shown about. And so, that afternoon, this little hall of Congress had the -honor to entertain (never mind matrimonial names) Martha and Nelly Custis, “granddaugh- _ ters” to George Washington. The Brick-Capitol early started in to stage momentous scenes, To begin with, nothing less than the first congressional “salary grab.” From the outset of the Govern- ment the mational lawgivers had worked for $6 a day, actual serv- ice. But now, everything had gone up. Why not lawmakine? A bill was introduced in the House giving congressmen $1,500 a year. There was not much debate. Enough though to let us glimpse in action John Randolph, of Roa- noke. Not that the man _ said much. Never did, even when he talked for two or three days. Not matter, but manner, held you spellbound to the end. Now he arose as a child on stilts, and said, *“‘Mr. Speaker!’’—said it as no other man could. The words rang. There had been no gun fired, but somehow it seemed as though there had. Then, in a high voice magically flexible, came keen rele- vant thought, hobnobbing with far-fetched but charming vagaries. Exactly what he said, we never shall know. Reporters could not cope with the swift, devious utter- ance. But in general we know; and this man’s speech——on and off the subject—-was the best one made for the salary bill. Whirled through, upstairs and downstairs, that bill soon was a law. Then the country went into a furor—that is to say, into “ebullient indignation.” No act of Congress from the beginning of the Government had so incensed the people; gnd many members were to pay dearly for that first congressional “salary grab.” There was a marked tendency in the Brick Capitol for members to play to the gallery. And it was worth playing to. Crowded and enthusiastic, it was also colorful and attractive from the presence of many ladies. Little Washing- ton had few places of amusement, and as such the roomy galleries of the new home of Congress came to be regarded. Two memorable events of this session were the debates in the House upon the tariff and upon - th Bank of the United States. Thé echoes of those famous debates come down tou yet. But we al- ways think of them as ringing from the lofty halls of the great ey eRs Capitol, not from an upstairs room on First street. Now that trinity of geniuses came into action, Clay and Calhoun were for the tariff and the bank; Opposed to both stood Webster. Young Calhoun already had set- tiled to the style of debate that was to make and to mar him as an orator. The tall, graceful figure stiffened to overintensity. The voice, loud and harsh, rang down the room in short, sharp sentences like quick hammer blows. Was there any attempt at oratory here? Some said Calhoun was above re- sort to the “devices of eloquence;”’ others that he thought himself quite in the manner of the great Athenian. Now, as always, was that air of tremendous earnest- ness. Orator or not, a young member to be reckoned with. But how impossible to foresee the reckoning! Here in the Brick Capi- tol, this man of fire championing the central Government; and be- fore. long, over in the restored Capitol across the way, to thunder nullification! Then, Henry Clay upon the floor. Likely the House went into committee of the whole just for this. He must hare sen with misgivings. He was about to utter a speech that he knew would be used against him—-that has been unfairly so used down . to the present day. He who just before the war had declared such @ measure unconstitutional, was about to give to the national bank hie eloquent support. Of course, if any man could thus reverse himself to the complete satisfac- tion 6f everybody, it would be this fascinating man of the _ golden voice. Among moderns has there been any other voice to compare with it? Somebody has-answered —yes, one, that of the elder Pitt. High among the honors of the little temporary Capitol, to have known the voice of Henry Clay in the days of its perfection. Young Daniel. Webster arose. Just doing that was an impres- sive thing then, as it was to be always. He spoke at some length as to the bank. And he was in long trousers (even if he was a Federalist), and a buff waist- coat, and a blue coat with brass... buttons. Likely some members failed to catch his opening words. His habit then was to begin in a low tone. And though they had hung still more curtains in that upper room, yet words kept on getting lost in it. ,With young Webster on the floor, another kind of oratory. While his voice was good, and on emotional oc- casions could soar. majestically, the brick Capitol never heard it do so. There he was more in- tent upon the oratory of language than of utterance. Already he dressed logie as no one else could do. He made few gestures, per- haps because of his short fore- arms. What the man said in op- position to the bank was probably unanswerable—unfortunately for him. Continued on Pege 9, Column 3.

The belief that this was the more ancient building has been so general -that nobody in _ recent years had questioned it. Its re- cent owners, the Woman’s Party, evidently believed in its ancient and historic associations. + Those associations were a matter of great pride with them and for a long \ time the building carried a marker ‘ which indicated the distinctions of its past. In fixing a value on it when the Government sought to take it over as a site for the pro- posed great judicial structure they, by in fact, held that its historic asso- ciations gave to it a uliar "value and asked that they recompens- ed accordingly. It was just this which led to the discovery of the absence of a valid claim to antiquity. The amounts to be paid for various of these plots were determined by condem- _ nation proceedings carried out un- der the authority of the District Supreme Court. The method was through the appointment of a commission to value these plots. The commission that valued this property was composed of Sewell A. Reeves, Charles A. Fiske and William A. Hettingér, all well- known citizens of Washington. It wanted to know if a “historic value” should be attaehed to it. It asked the Treasury Department, which was in charge of the execu- tion of the project, if a historic value should be allowed to the ’ owners. The asury Depart- — attempted to ascertain the acts H. H. Morgan, of the Architect’s office, had charge of the investi- gation. To be old building, everybody told him. Its history was familiar to every- body. It had been hastily erected after the British so inconsiderately i . burned the Capitol in 1814, that it might serve as the temporary Capitol. Congress had met there for three or four years. It had become a fashionable boarding house back in the eighteen thirties. Tten John C. Calhoun had lived there _and died there.

She escaped being hanged, however, and her importance may be gauged by the fact that she was exchanged for a captive Union general and lived to marry a Union Naval officer and to be buried in Wisconsin by the Grand Army of the Republic. But Mr. Morgan was an archi- tect and the present building, he thought, had many earmarks that were peculiar to periods more modern than 1815. Could it be proven that this was the same building that was put up so hasti- ly after the visit of the British? Only assertions of confidence in its antiquity were at hand. For that matter there was nobody who gave any proof to the contrary. What were the facts? In checking the physical his- tory of Washington many a stu- dent has in recent years gone back to the famous Brady col- lection of photographs of the Civil War period, which, some years ago, was bought by the Government and -has found a place in'the War Department.

' deat were marching by. In another, by a bit of a_ stretch of the imagination, Belle Boyd could be seen standing by her barred win- dow. At this point the Treasury De- partment introduced into the situation one of its most unusual and interesting .officials. Bert C. Farrar rates as the “examiner of questioned documents’’ for the Treasury, In this post he is primarily the Government’s hand- writing expert. Every warrant that is issued by the Government, amounting to thousands a day, comes back through the trea- surer’s office for final payment. There is:a huge and expert staff which handles these warrants. Out of the mass of them there are some twenty a day that may ap- pear to have been tampered with or on which the signature .is questioned. Mr, Farrar passes on these. The Government may be en- gaged in a suit over millions with a corporation that claims huge re- funds on its income tax. The crux of the case may be the deter- mination of the genuineness of a typewritten sheet from a loose leaf ledger. A watermark in the ener may rt that it was manu- ctured o in $26 while the ledger ated. 1922. Mr. Farrar’s reputation grown to such an extent that he » may receive a call to the State of Washington, as he recently did, to determine the genuineness of a signature on a hotel register upon which the innocence of guilt of a accused of crime rested. Or he may go to Louisiana, as he recently did, to give evidence that determines the disposition of an estate. This alleged historic building was not exactly a questioned document but the determination of its genuineness meant some hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Treasury, the fands of which it was his business to guard. Se the architect’s office asked the Treasury specialist whether or not it was the same building M teres of the building that were taken during the Civil War. To be sure they did not look much alike. The present buliding was a Note the dissimilarity to present structure. story taller than the old one, but that might have been added. The windows and the chimneys were not in the same places but they might have been changed. In the old building there were Roman arches over the doors while in the new those orifices were rec- tangular. Yet in the face of all these facts it was argued that the walis of the present building might have been those of the old building and so, fundamentally, this was the same building. Whether or not these were the original walls became the vital question for determination. Mr. Farrar proceeded to find out. It seems that there are patterns in walls, just as there may be in calico or the laying of tile on a bathroom floor. Were the wall patterns of these two buildings the same? Mr. Farrar took the best of the Brady pictures to the Bureau of Standards. Would that agency be so good as to make enlarge- ments of the details of the pic- ture that showed the brick pat- terns to best advantage. It would and did. To be sure, the photo- graphs of this Civil War period ie #4 not so ‘good. Even in the niargements the brick pattern ain. There are two distinct meth- 7 — 5 ods of laying the brick in a wall that came into this problem. There is the so-called ‘Flemish bond” and the “common bond.” In the Flemish bond, which is aa ancient type, the brick is laid in such a way that the long side of a brick shows, and next to it & brick fs laid crosswise of the wall so its end shows. Thus they al- ternate in all the rows of the outside will, showing first a long and then a short brick. In the common bond, which is modern, all the bricks present their long sides for four or five rows and then there appears a whole row im which all the bricks are laid crosswise and only their ends show. Mr. Farrar took his enlarged photographs to his ‘penman’s table,’”’ that aid to the countere- feiter or forger which hag a glass top and a strong light under- neath. The forger puts a paper containing a signature he wants to reproduce over this light, thé document that is to be forged over this signature, and traces thé latter. Mr. Farrar placed a sheet of paper over the enlarged photo- graph on the penman’s table. He went over it meticulously as is the way of his kind and put a dash wherever he could make out the long side of a brick. Then, that he might not be affected by the positions of these bricks whose position Be had already determined, he took a new sheet and on it recorded with a dot the positions of all the short bricks he could make out. These two bits of information were then as- sembled and it was found that the walls of the original buildings were Flemish bond in pattern. The walls of the present build- ing were common bond, showing the long sides of five layers of brick and then a layer of butts. Thus it became impossible that even the walis of the present building could be those of the “old brick Capitol,” which was the “fold Capitol Prison.”’ I went with Mr. Morgan for an examination of the building on the eve of the beginning of the work of demolition. We went into its basement. There, in cer- tain ~portions of it, were to be found foundation walls of rough stone that came irregularly to the ground level. They had the ap- pearance of being the foundation walis of the old building. Im- mediately on top of them a new type of construction began. It was of brick, laid in common bond, of the type of construction of the present building. Trea- sury Department authorities are convinced that these foundation walls, below the ground level, are all that is left of the original and historic building. There are word-of-mouth as- sertions that the old building was torn down in the late sixties and that the present structure was built then. No record has been found to substantiate that theory and no individual has been found who remembers the destruction of the one building and the erec 7 Se ee ee ee ee tr more moderu LOE BP LALO LOE ARLES «LI IE SOE RE AB A OPN TO LOC ST AAR es AO ell AA cl RAE A Sa GP 7 iy amet ee M8 snithuen-cgge r

TTT HALLER MURTHA CHAPTER 28. - Penrod Is Brought Forth. T was unfortunate for Penrod that °Verman’ felt this renewal of interest in the whereabouts and conduct of the official ex-crimina] of the dismembered agency. Pen- rod had emerged to the surface, necessarily, as soon as Deda stop- ped looking over the top of the sawdust box: under cover of dark- ness -he had abandoned _ that refuge, and, for the past hour, seated’ upon the ground beneath one of the living-room windows, he had listened anxiously to the conversation within. Verman, with idle time upon his hands, for the first time in many evenings, had gone forth for a stroll, and, glancing over the fence, had hap- pened ‘to espy the dark figure under the window. Then, having nothing better to do, he climbed upon the fence and sat. there. Amused, and not being aware that the agency was now wholly oabso- lete, he had been so ill-inspired as to put the inquiry that had startled the company indoors, his intended words being simply: “Old Mr. Dade in there? What he do now, Penrod?”’ Penrod made imperative ges- tures for him to withdraw, then sprang up and, alarmed by some- thing he heard from within the living room, would himself have withdrawn; but he was too late. Mr. Schofield, easily recognizing the signifieance of the voeative, “Pemwob,” had dashed out through the front door, turned the corner of the house, and the fugi- tive was almost instantly seized in a powerful and irritated grasp. One minute later, when, in custody, he was haled into the presence of the conclave, his mother uttered a shrill cry of lamentation. In spite of all his woody immersions, fragments. of the attic cobwebs still remained upon hjm, and he shed a trail of sawdust across the living room floor, as he was sternly urged for- ward. What he expected to hap- pen to him ‘at. this juncture fs un- known; whatéver that. the substitution of him as the’ center ‘of interest brought grateful relief “to both of the brothers Williams. , » “Never mind’ his looks!" Mr. Schofield said Schofield. to’ ldter—and so can a few other things!’’ he’ addéd. * “Later when I take him upstairs——”’ But Mr. Paoli Jones, as he had already proved, was a man of hiamane impulses, and he could Not look at Penrod without having those impulses stirred. ‘‘No, no,” he said; protesting. “I> really didn’t mean to get either Sam Williams. or Penrod into any trouble; I only wanted to satisfy my own mind a little about what’s been happéning, and FI think that has become rather clear. it seems to me that what Robert said about it’s all having been merely a harmless game was espe- cially significant.”” Here Mr. Jones laughed and looked genial- ly, not at Robert, but at Margaret Schofield, upon which she straightened and seemed a little indignant. ‘It appears to be fair- Mr. Jones went on, *“‘that Penrod and Sam and the two colored boys playing at ‘shadowing,’ and that they felt they had -to pick out fomeone to be ‘shadowed,’ and of course this person had to be sup- posed tobe in the habit of com- mitting crimés.’ ¥ think I see now that this explanation covers every- ‘thing Penrod told Marjorie, and that he was only carrying on the game and never dreamed _ she would repeat what he said as seri- ous information.

What made you pick: out Mr. Dade?”’ “Yes, Penrod,”’ urged, rising to go. you?” Penrod breathed deeply; he had not an idea in his head. “Well——””_ he said at _ iast, desperately. ‘‘Well—he acted so in love of my sister Margaret, I thought there must be sumpthing wrong with him.” Mr. Jones. stared. at him strangely, seeming unwilling to trust himself to speak; . there was a sound like the sputter of laughter, half-choked and a little hysterical, from the corner to which Robert Wiliams had mod- estly retired; then Margaret, after glance in that direction, rose and went haughtily out to the veran- dah. “T think we must say go0od- night,”’ Mr. Jones’ said in a tremulous voice, during this progress. ‘“‘Come, Marjorie.’’ His face had grown red, and, in pass- ing Mr. Schofield, who likewise had become flushed, he paused to say in a low tone, with a glance toward Penrod, “I won’t . But it was Mrs. Schofield who replied’ to ‘this merciful plea. She too, displayed a heightened color; and she spoke indistinctly through his father Mr. Jones “Why did a handkerchief held to her month.” “No,” she said, shaking her head, ‘the won't.”” ~ Then, as the departing guests moved.on. toward the outer, door; - Mr. and Mrs. ‘Schofield hospitably. accompanying. them; the little group was passed by Robert Will- iams on his way to the verandah, and Penfod and Sam ‘were left. alone together in the living-room.

They said nothing whatever. CHAPTER 29. ‘New Stars Arise.

Parker Gilbert, Jr., Financial Wizard. sus that has dwarfed person- nel into pygmyfied ornaments and midgetized props, faces the unique dilemma of finding a job big enough for a certain man, a very certain man. . The man is S. Parker Gilbert, jr., 37 years old, “uncrowned Kaiser’’ of Germany as agent gen- eral of reparations for the past six years. Having completed his work as American financial co- ordinator-dictator for most of Eu- rope, he is jobless. He could be- come a partner of J. P. Morgan & Co. or join the million-dollar sal- ary class elsewhere at his bidding. The United States Government’s two greatest financial posts are within his reach—Secretary of the Treasury and Governor of th®¥ Federal Reserve Board. But he wants to rest for a few months apd think it all over. For one thing, he has been so busy since his marriage six years ago that he has not had time for a honeymoon. Always shunning publicity, consistently declining to make a ‘“‘movie’’ out of himself or his prodigious work, he has gone West with his wife for their first vacation. While fishing in soli- tude he expects to decide among the successes that are being thrust upon him for his choice. Arriving in New York recently after completing his unique task successfully against such predic- tions as “‘impossible’’ and “‘stu- pendous,” out of work for the first time since he started at gram- mar school, Mr. Gilbert retired to a suite in a Park avenue hotel. The greatest figure in interna- tional finance of the past decade declined to discuss the rehabilita- tion of Europe, which has been largely at his initiative and under his direction. He was solemn, shy, forbidding at mention of his own future, except to announce with a sigh ‘of pride and the sheepishness of a lingering boyish manner that he was going to start on his honeymoon. He married Miss Louise Ross Todd, of Louis- ville, Ky., on October 8, 1924; sailed for Europe three days later and ever since has been busy re- making world finance. Literally and figuratively New York can’t place him. He fits into no standards of recent or ancient history. At home he has been called the greatest figure in Amer- ican finance since Alexander Ham- ilton—Mr. Gilbert was acting as Secretary of the Treasury before he was 30. Abroad there are no attempts at comparison. His salary for the past six years has been in German gold marks. His highest salary in this country was $10,000. At 32 he accepted the pioneering job of agent gen- etal of reparations, replacing Owen D. Young, the temporary appointee, with no discussion of salary. He started working twelve hours a day in Paris. Querulous American expatriates finally could stand it no longer and asked him about what salary he would re- ceive. -**That’s a mere detail,”” he re- plied with his customary finality. The Reparations Commission later set it at (190,000 gold. marks, slightly less than $50,000. Money talks. In times of de- pression it has shouted. But to Mr. Gilbert it appears to be a mere whisper, and New York doesn’t know whether this can be over- ceme by voice culture. If the agent general received but a mod- est commission on the supersales- manship that he has directed, his wealth would exceed that of Messrs. Rockefeller, Ford and Mellon combined. But New York doesn’t know what Mr. Gilbert wants. Neither does official Wash- ington. In fact, Mr. Gilbert him- self is not sure. After all, Mr. Gilbert’s relation to his world, or the world’s rela- tion to its Mr. Gilbert, is rather sudden. His task is done. He has made his last report and turned over his books and the machinery he built up to the large group of international bankers that he created to succeed him- self. That is that, but no one ws what is appropriate or com- t to come next, Fr sus that 1 America, the colos- THE WASHINGTON oe — ee POST: ae hs JULY . 27, 1930. — BRR WE TT ET foe PI NR REI Sa a et oe ah - © ~ While on vacation, he will have to decide among scores of gilt-edge offers that are being thrust upon him. Financial New York believes that the young man who brought up the hysterical, ruined Germany of 1924 to an orderly, prosperous nation could do anything; some go so far as to say everything. But they searcely know how to approach the man _ who lifted Europe from the devastation of a World War, when all that. they have to offer as a challenge to such ability is a mere widespread domestic depression starting with the market crash of last fall. It is easy to offer millions, but dif- ficult to clinch the bargain with the offer of a sufficiently provoca- tive task. Thus overtures are cautious. It may be necessary to- effect more mergers, or to com- bine the offices of president and chairman of the board. And by that time Mr. Gilbert may be in the Cabinet or head of the Fed- eral Reserve Board. Mr. Gilbert’s side of the matter is equally perplexing. He hasn’t had the time to realize that he is entitled to a private life. He has been scarcely conscious that such a thing as a private life exists. His youth was lost in the rush of getting ahead, but he found it again in the chuckle with. which he announced his honeymoon plans. There is no ‘if’ to his future. When asked about what he wauld do, he re- plied to me: ‘T haven’t made up my mind.” That leaves it to the world at large to do the worrying. ” + — - E was born in Bloomfield, N. J., October 13, 1892. At the age of 11 he was graduated from grammar school at the head of his class. Four years later he was at the head of his high school graduating class. He maintained this class distinction when grad- uated from Rutgers at 19, and three years later took his law degree from Harvard with high- est honors. He started at once to practice law in New York with the firm of Cravath & Henderson. In 1917 he was rejected by the army for physical disability—— he admits that poor health was the turning | point toward his successful march. .. The followimg year he joined the Treasury Department's war ioan ' staff. In July, 1920, President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of fiscal affairs. He was so efficient that Secretary Mellon retained him over the violent protests of Re- publican patronage leaders. Mr. Gilbert had been too busy to broadcast a political party affilia- tion, and Republicans were suspi- cious. They said he was a Demo- crat and had been secretly active in behalf of James Cox, Demo- cratic candidate for the Presi- dency in 1920. Mr. Gilbert was roused to one of his infrequent public statements, denying this charge. Thenceforth his Repub- licanism has been unchallenged, although he admitted laughingly to this writer that he was “not a very active one.’’ He served under four Secre- taries of the Treasury—McAdoo, Glass, Houston and Mellon, His salary as Assistant Secretary was $5,000. Secretary Mellon set a precedent for New York’s present attitude by creating a new post to fit Mr. Gilbert’s capabilities, that of Undersecretary of the Treasury, with a salary of $10,000. In Mr. Mellon’s absence Mr. Gilbert atted in full charge as Secretary of the Treasury while stil! in his late twenties. In addition to working out a mass of technical detail earlier in regard to floating Lib- erty loans and directing this coun- try’s $7,000,000,000 refunding program, Mr. Gilbert supervised the following agencies: Commissioner of Public Debts, Register of the Treasury; Division of Debt, Accounts and Audits and Savings Division; Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits; the Comptroller of Currency, the Bu- reau of the Budget, the Mint Bu- reau, the Federal Farm Loan Bu- reau, the Secret Service Bureau and the Government Actuary. He resigned in 1923 to rejoin his law firm. A few weeks later, at 32, he was appointed to suc- ceed Owen D. Young as agent gen- eral of reparations in charge of executing the Dawes plan. He went to Paris and started quietly to work, keeping at his job twelve to fifteen hours a day. He tackled the problem of. German suspicion and allied requirements and made them fit. He acted as collection agent for the allies, sales agent for Germany and super-contractor in international construction. He prevented the German Reichstag from increasing the salaries of civil service and other officials. He told Germany where and how to save and.to spend. He criticized German budgets, in- sisted that Germany could pay,” saw that Germany did pay punc- tually and in full, turned the en- emy nation of France into a good buyer in taking three-fourths of its payments in commodities, per- sonally “sold’”’ his plans for Bu- ropean financial rehabilitation to the active heads of that Conti- nent’s leading nations, placated warring factions, turned his own effigies into idol-worship, created a complicated international mech- S.

Believing the burden of 132,- 000,000,000 gold marks placed on Germany by the London confer- ence of 1921 to be an “incon- ceivable”’ one, he personally fought for a reduction to a fixed annual figure that Germany would - voluntarily agree to pay. He won. Germany did agree, and Germany — has paid. It is curious how many leaders of European governments found themselves in agreement with Mr. Gilbert and not he with them. On July 23, 1928, a Paris news- -paper dispatch reported that Pre- mier Poincare “found himself in complete agreement with Mr. Gil- bert’s outlook on the future.” Two years earlier Sir Arthur Sal- ter, head of the League of Nations financial section and director of the rehabilitation of Austria and Hungary, had found himself in similar alignment with Mr. Gil- bert. He went to London and brought Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, around .to his views on changing the Dawes plan. Speaking as a private citi- zen on January 17, 1928, he told Foreign Minister Briand, of France, that it was futile at that time for France to hope for re- vision of the Mellon-Berenger post-war debt agreement—it was not a discussion but merely a terse announcement. On April 11, 1928, he made a courtesy call’ on Count Volpi, Italian finance minister in Rome, and in a twenty-minute private conference later in the day quietly told Mussolini what was what. He fought Germany domestic- ally and fought for Germany in- ternationally, and won both battles. - He stood alone as an individual against all of Europe, handica d by the isolation of his native try from the League of Nations, asserting on April 9, 1928, that “the reparation question is an en- tirely independent problem, con- cerning only European nations, .and has no relation ‘to the debts’ ' Po the ‘various’ céuntries to’ the ' Pree PE tates!’ Herwen.

He main= tained offices in Paris and Berlin, with a combined staff of only 129 persons, including clerks and stenographers, representing six nationalities. Only fifteen of his staff were Americans. Incidental to his active role in Germany he was also ex officio chairman of the coordinating board, of the transfer committee and of the trustees of the German external loan of 1924. Criticized at first as a bailiff, he won ac- claim later as an assessor of post- war Germany. The house of Morgan is his to romp in as he pleases. It was at Mr. Gilbert’s imsistence that a banker was chosen as one of the two United States commissioners that drew up the Young plan to ‘replace the Dawes plan, and that the banker chosen was J. P. Mor- gan. Mr. Morgan chose his junior partner, Thomas W. Lamont, as his alternate. Mr. Morgan has ent Mr. remained closely in touch with Mr. Gilbert abroad and in this country. Mr. Gilbert’s first impor- tant Treasury Department promo- tion was to succeed R. C. Leffing— well when the latter resigned to become a Morgan partner. Dwight W. Morrow, who bounded directly from a Morgan partnership to the embassy at Mexico City in Sep- tember, 1927, and started the modernized version of dollar * diplomacy, has frequently enter- tained Mr. Gilbert and escorted him to the White House from New York on his last trip to this coun- try. The opening of. a. Morgan partnership is taken for granted— Mr, Gilbert may take it if nothing more inviting or unusual turns up. Thin, pale, spare, lanky, Mr. Gilbert has scholarly eyes and nose. If he takes any exercise other than fishing, no one knows of it and he has not admitted it. A fast walker, he stoops more from shyness than from weight of responsibilities, giving the im- pression of pushing his legs out behind him, Thirty years ago in Bloomfield the kids he played with attached to him his only authorized biog- raphy.

He had the run of the prison..and remembers very clearly many of the prisoners, in- cluding Belle Boyd, who were in- carcerated there.

It did not place itself on rec- ord to this effect, but its conclu- sions found expression in the fact that the price allowed for the property contained no.sum which extended recognition to such a claim. The payment which the Treasury made for the property was based on real estate and not historical value. Its officials. state positively that this is not the original building. Yet despite all. of this, a visit was recently made to the build- ing, the stucco with which its ex- terior is covered, was chipped off 4 feet above the ground <at its southwest corner, and ancient brick, laid in the Flemish pattern, was revealed. It seemed that this was undoubtedly a part of the original wall. Just how much of this wall will be shown to have survived will not be known until the building & finally demolished.

Missouri! Well, per- haps the brave little Capitol that had saved Washington, sensing somehow that this was the last session of Congress it should ever know, was crowding the stage for a spectacular finale. The Jackson matter came first —chiefly upstairs. -A spirited ar- raignment of the general. Every- body was there. No such proceed- ing—-not even the trial of Aaron Burr—had ever so aroused the people. Public interest centered upon one man in the debate. Henry Clay—-when would he speak? Now the day was come. Trying to get upstairs would tell you that» Thronged with the members on the upper floor were senators, Cabinet officials, foreign minis- ters, distinguished strangers. The gallery was “‘crowded to suffoca- tion.”” Lobby and cast little better. The tall, slender young Henry Clay arose. All knew it was in opposition to Jackson. The idol of the people against the hero of the people—but the hero’s star in the ascendant. One of the great- est, one of the most unfortunate mements of Henry Clay's life. Rarely was he to speak more bril- liantly—-never words he would more wish to recall. Deubtless, as usual, he began with a bit of almost unconscious aeting—a straightening of the tall form, a parve Ry attitude for an im- ressive moment. Then upon “per- silence” fell the rich tones of matchless voice. For some . word-melody. speech, Gen. reason, perhaps the tenseness of the occasion, the man was speak- ing louder than was usual with him. He observed this after a while—too late. Now; unsparing condemnation of Jackson. All had been wrong —illegal, unjust, perilously high- handed. What an opportunity for this artist’s. word-wizardtfy and As always when the dramatic called, that whole lithe, swaying figure was eloquent. No matter that logic at times went astray, so long as it did it in tones orchestral. If we, catching what we may of this speech from cold type, think it “remarkable,” a “brilliant effort,” what must have been thought by those who caught it upon the appealing, thrilling, thundering diapason of that marvelous voice! When Mr. Clay had spoken about three hours, he found that his voice, keyed to unusual ten- sion, was failing, and he rather abruptly turned to his peroration. The long-awaited speech at an end, so virtually was that day’s session of Congress. Mr. Clay passed into the lobby, where he was surrounded by admirers of both sexes. But feminine admira- tion was always the more accept- able, and he soon was “lounging gracefully” at the feet of a pretty woman on the stairway. Chose follewing young Clay's Andrew Jackson (sensing battle from afar), came storming into Washington. Here, even without the storming, was the most striking American of hie time.

Today I never do. For beauty contests are not the way to success on the screen. You see, it it all a matter of attitude. The peacock says to himself, “How beautiful I am!’’ and he lets it go at that. He thinks bodily beauty is ali-sufficient. He is ill-tempered and prone to fight with other birds. Sufficient to himself, he thinks it unmecessary te cultivate graces that would make him liked by others. Your teo-beautiful girl is just like that. She fails when tested, largely because of this inherent selfishness. This type has been led since birth by parents and ds.

Andrew Jackson stalkéd Wash- ington. He did not at first go to the little hall of Congress, but he kept in effective touch with proceedings there. At last one of the most drama- tic debates ever held in the House came to an end—Jackson exoner- ated by a vote of more than two to one. He soon appeared in that upstairs room, but -~without at- tempt at demonstration, and did not remain long. What he him- self thought of his Washington campaign is shown by his words to a friend: “It is fortunate I have come on, had I not, things would not have been ag they are.”’ Now he set forth upon a triumphal tour of Eastern cities,. The Brick Capitol next turned to Missouri. The House took up a preliminary bill for its admis- sion to statehood. That was on a Saturday afternoon bound to be remembered. The matter was no’ more than fairly up, before Mr. Tallmadge, of New York, was. When he sat down, the fat was in the fire. He had introduced the inevitable amendment to prohibit slavery in the new State. So here in the Brick Capitol was opened the historic battle between slave section and free to set seal upon the great West, and to grasp dominanee in the Nation. Through most of this sectional debate ragged tempers were fair- ly held; but they slipped the leash now and then. One day, feeling to slavery running high, a dra- matic incident occurred. Some members of the House so situated as to command a view of the street, beheld a little procession passing—a silave-driver’s proces- sion of Afiteen Negroes It has nea a — a of arousing definite emotions of liking in others. And as I leok’ over the Holly- wood beauties who have failed, those who are on the way back to their old home town or working in some commercial employment around Los Angeles, I have found it very interesting to observe that virtually without ception their beauty stops because of their feet and voices. Girls who have a chance to succeed in Hollywood are those who analyze themselves in this manner: “I am reasonably good looking. What can I do with that beauty to make others like me? What type of dramatic character best suits me? Where and how can I study the dramatic technique by which experienced actresses ‘put across: their personalities to the audiefices for whom they per- form?”’ , & girl of this sort, provided she is not actually homely or pos- sessed of some disfiguring deform- ity, cam and will go a long way. For she is no peacock, content to parade an imperfect beauty for her own admiration. a ea ee ee SSE chained together, westward. A scene as though set in a play. As legislative eyes fol- lowed the somber line drawing across the snow into Capitol Park —well, perhaps the little scene played its part. The Northern forces won here anyway, and the Missouri bill, with an antislavery provision, was passed and sent to the Senate. Now excited interest ran hur- riedly downstairs. There was enough to hold it there. The South made better showing among the senators, who quickly passed the Missouri bil] with the anti- slavery feature cut out. Just being driven ~ now, too, this floor received report from a committee it had appointed upon Florida matters — dead against Gen. Jackson, So stood House and Senate, at odds over both Missouri and Jack- son, when but a week remained of the session. If the brick build- ing on the corner rather lost its head that last week of its exist- ence as Capitol of the United States, there was reason enough. Things moved so fast—especially Jackson. The general was sitting at a banquet in his honor at Balti- more when he learned of the Sen- ate committee’s report against him. He 4eft the table and at daybreak next mornifig was dash- ing into Washington. He came charged with oathful threats to cut off senatorial ears. More than one member of the Senate commit- tee now went constantly armed. The story is that a carriage drew up at that congressiona] corner, and the irate general, intent upon chastising somebody; had got as far as the Senate door when he was met by Commodore Decatur, who succeeded in dissuading him from his purpose. Just as well, for it seems that Jacksonian merit, or Jacksonian command of lan- guage, had already so impressed the Senate that the derogatory report was tabled and never heard of again. Meanwhile, the Miscouri bill She calmly surveys her own case, notes her deviations from so- called perfect beauty types and studies how to do those things which, on screen or stage, will create an illusion of pulchritude. It is an old example which I have used before, but while Sarah Bernhardt had many imperfec- tions of face and form, it would be impossible to convince those who have seen the ‘‘divine Sarah’”’ that this is so. She created an il- lusion of physical and mental su- premacy which is an immortal thing. Perhaps the greatest test is whether an actress can make you “like” her and believe her desir- able while playing with her face masked. There are many instances of this type of part through stage history, but as an example closer to hand I offer the performance of Kay Johnson as Madam Satan- The situation of a wife, masked, making love to her own husband is one which requires an excep- tional actress. Not only must she assume a separate personality, but she must convince her audience that in this new guise she has been sufficiently alluring to at- tract him. Miss Johnson solves this prob- lem by extremely clever tricks of technique. Her voice, of course, assumes much of the burden. The qualities she puts into it stir your imagination. You paint in your mind a picture of how she must look. And although you can not see her eyes, when she turns her head the action is so smoothly done that you have the perfect il- lusion of coquetry. All of this inclines me to one thought: I wonder if perhaps we haven’t been wrong all these cen- turies in our judgment of beauty. Personally, it is my opinion that only she who is beautiful in motion and in emotion deserves the award of Paris. Did you ever see one of these Dresden-doll beauties cry? Then did you ever see a highly trained and capable actress portray the same emotion? I’m sure you will what I mean. Remember the peacock! (Copyright. 1930.)

The little temporary Capitol had started what it could not finish—a sec- tional struggle that was to go on and on io the great compromise; _ and on and on again to Appomat- tox! So it was that on March 3, 1819, in a burst of ‘“‘tremendous excitement” but not much doing, Congress adjourned and the brick building on the corner went out of business as the Capitol of the United States. However. there was yet to be one strange harking back to those proud days. The year 1850 came, and early April. A group of prominent senators issued from Capitol Park and entered that that old-time home of Congress, then a_ fashionable boarding house. They went to an upper room, and when they came out and passed down the stairway they were tenderly bearing all that remained of one of their emi- nent colleagues. And that meant that this storied building, which had seen the beginning of the Great Triumvirate, was witness- ing also its end. For one of those pallbearers was Henry Clay, another Daniel Webster, and. the still form between them that of John C. Calhoun. That was the last reflection of those greater days when the old building on the corner was young—the Capitol of the United States. Now, after playing other im- portant parts in the passing of its hundred years, the last one as headquarters of the National Woman’s Party, tités historic structure has come to its end. Efforts to save it failed. Con- demned and empty, it stands to- day upon its tree-grown terrace — the wrecking outfit already coming round the corner.

— ee HE Woman’s Bureau of the Department of Labor re- cently celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding. In that ‘time it has done much, -°ac- cording to reports and statistics, to promote the cause of the Amer- ican homemaker, particularly of that great group which is wage earning as’ well as homemaking. Like other agencies through which Uncle Sam is now helping American homes, the Woman's Bureau and the Department of Labor arose out of a temporary War agency known as as. the Women in Industry and Service. With the coming of peace it was in danger of being abolished un- til it was placed on a permunent basis. Contrary to general impression, the Woman’s Bureau is not an employment agency finding jobs for women nor a service furnish- ing advice to the lovelorn, or to the corpulent trying to reduce or to housewives seeking balanced menus, new recipes and the latest fashion news. Instead of that, it is an organization of women, headed by a woman, Miss Mary Anderson, as_ director, which works in the interest of all wage- earning women. The woman wage earner, and there were 8,500,000 of them enumerated in the last census, is also potentially a homemaker. In nine-cases out of ten, if she is not the actual homemaker yet she contributes materially from a financial point of view to some home. At the last census. every earnef.. one out of five women ‘was a wage It is thought that the es See ee ee — we eS ==: | UN CLE SAM [ and a ———————— - ae percentage will be found to be . even higher in the present census Theréfore, the Woman’s . taking.

Labor makes a. close study of the opportunities afforded women to earn their own livelihood under which will permit also of home- making in their leisure time. For instance, a suryey was made when 360,000 girl gradu- | ates from the high schools and other educational institutions were introduced to the life after commencement. About 127,000 of these girl graduates were to seek work, according’ to the sur- vey. The 1920 census showed that 3,500,000 girls under 25 years of age were at work: The Woman’s Bureau is: not olily interested in what a girl gets from her job but also what she gives to it. Its advice to these young workers is purpose, real service, full sense of responsibility, and determina- tion to do the job the best they can, irrespective of what it is, are the corner stones of success. and steps on the ladder of occu- pational progress.

The eggplant pulp is cooked and mixed with the other ingredients. 1 large eggplant. 4 tablespoons melted butter or other fat. 144 cups dry bread crumbs. 1 small onion, finely chopped. 1 cup cooked string beans, peas or other left-over vegetable. 1 teaspoon salt. Pepper. Wash and cut the eggplant in halves lengthwise. Remove a3 much of the white portion.as pos- sible without breaking the shell, cut the pulp into small pieces, cook in a small quantity of hot water for ten minutes, or until tender, and drain. To the melted fat add the bread crumbs, stir un- til well mixed and reserve half of the crumbs for the top. To the remaining crumbs add the other ingredients and the eggplant pulp, mix thoroughly, pile lightly into the eggplant shells, sprinkle the top with the crumbs, place in a shallow baking dish, pour a few tablespoons of hot water around the shells to keep them from stick- ing, and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Serve in the bak- ing dish. Strawberry Sauce. Strawberry sauce for puddings or boiled rice, which is usually made by mixing butter, sugar and mashed berries, is a good means of securing the strawberry flavor at times when berries are too high- priced to be used in large quanti- ties. The substitution of honey for sugar has proved to be practi- cable. In fact, it obviates one of the chief difficulties in making this sauce—the tendency to cur- dle. 2 tablespoons butter. 2-3 cup mashed strawberries. % cup honey. Beat together the honey and butter.

Thus advertisements are interesting because they must be specimens of good writing. In England and on the Conti- nent the carriages on through trains are lined with advertise- ments above the windows. If we fill our trolley cars and subways with advertisements, why not our pullman cars and day coaches as well? Why don’t we? I suppose the reason is that our railways wish to make their limited trains appear as much as possible like a luxurious hotel, or even like a comfortable home. But it is sin- gular that while Americans are squeamish about such matters, . we should have no scruples about placing huge monuments of ugli- ness on the shores of lovely lakes, on the sides of noble mountains, and on the fairest of green mead- ows.

POE. HE Elder’ Brothers of Litera- i ture are disappearing over the horizon of Time. With the death of Sir Cénan Doyle within the last fortnight and the passing of Robert Bridges earlier in the spring, and Thomas Hardy before that, and James Barrie celebrating his seventieth birth- day and George Bernard Shaw in the heyday of 73 years of excit- ing living, a new day in English literature will not be. long in dawning. The big question is: Assume the Who will mantle of these Bturdy Sons of the Pen when. they join the literary colony in Valhalla? The prospects among the younger generation are not overreassuring. The trouble is that apprenticeship to the craft is no longer regarded as a requi- site for literary achievement, Our authors are anxious to blossom forth overnight in full blown flowers of thought and want to find the easy road to fame. Sir Conan Doyle, if he can Spare time from his many en- BZagements at earthly seances, must take a certain satisfaction from regarding that immortal creation of his brain, “Sherlock Holmes.” ‘All agree that Sir Conan Doyle has had few equals, and only one Or two masters in the art of mys- tery writing.

By \ John Langdon-Davies. (Harper j}..& Bros., New York.) ' After all, what can be a more fascinating theme for mankind than ‘‘Man and His Universe?” All Other questions sink to insignifi- @ance by the side of the eternal Fiddle of being. The ancients knew this problem, and out of its consideration grew the theories of religion and philosophy which were as a great white light across the darkness of primeval days. Mr. Langdon-Davies approaches this weighty question as both a scholar and a thinker, which are not always synonymous. There is not a dull momgnt in his book, heavily endowed as it is with the abiding truths of biology. and science. It is a thrilling narra- tive he tells, and its hero is man. It tells with scientific accuracy, and yet in what seems to be a popular vein, man’s upward march from his beginnings in the dawn of human history to the complex organism of the present. Best of all, the author proves his case hine times out of ten through liv- ing examples of the various stages of mankind’s struggle to- ward his present high plane. He- calls in as witnesses primitive peoples who have preserved the traits, the inhibitions and the cus- toms of much earlier days in the world’s history.

There is no reason to believe that Gen. Von Seeckt does not know that the German empire passed into the discard along wit!» other relics of monarchy as a re- Bult of the World War. His title ‘might be regarded, therefore, as expressing a fond hope that lingers among the royalists of Germany of a restoration of the monaréhy. It is the German -republic that winning the admiration of the ‘tor the sturdy wey in which the unanimity of opinion it has accepted defeat, attacked the payment of its war debts and through hard labor and saving is making its way slowly but surely back to a respected place in the family of nations. Gen, Von Seeckt’s book is im- portant because it tells in a read- able form just what are the aspira- tions and hopes of those who de- sire the restoration of the German empire. However, he frequently uses empire in its broader state not meaning the domain of a monarch but the wide miles of a proud people. He has written of the present. situation in Germany in a way that commands the attention of all fortunate enough to secure this book. With a stern impartiality he chides as freely as he is re- strained in praise. ‘The author has named three foundation stones as the ground- works of the future German em- pire republic, if such it might be called, agriculture, industry and trade. Strict attention to this trilogy might well bring economic prosperity to any country and the German people are building on solid rock when they fix their in- terests: on this development in- stead of the minutiae of political government. SCANDINAVIAN LITERATURE. By H. G. Topsoe-Jensen, (The American-Scandinavian Foun- dation. W. W. Norton & Co., Inc., New York.) This is one of the books select- ed and edited for publication by the American-Scandinavian Foun- dation. The object is to enrich American intellectual life by add- ing what is of permanent value in Northern civilization. The books on which the foun- dation have placed its imprint have been found very useful in schools and colleges. This book, which has been translated by Isaac Anderson from the Danish, deals with Scan- dimayian literature beginning with that of Brandes,. who -in 1871 made his epoch-making lec- * tures which inaugurated modern literature in Scandinavia. There is a presentation of the present-day literature through the work of Sigrid Undset. This book is a real survey of the most active literary years of Norway, Many of us know Brandes, Ja- cobsen, Ibsen, Bjornson, Strind- berg, Lagerl of Hansun and Und- set, but only as/isolated entities and not as partd of an integrated literature. This\book gives us their. backgrounds, lives and en- vironments and the forces, social and literary, which have enabled them to take the place they have in Scandinavian literature. OUR CHANGING CIVILIZATION, .By John Herman Randall, jr., Ph. D. (Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York.) In ‘this book a stimulating and provocative inquiry into the per- plexing causes that have so radi- cally changed our modern life, by the assistant professor of philoso- phy of Columbia University. We are told how science and the maehine are reconstructing modern life, Prof. Randall analyzes the pres- ent conflicts in our major institu- tions with the idea that Western civilization must be viewed as a complex whole. He -includes science, religion, art, social and moral life in the light of previous effects which science and the busi- ness spirit have produced. Problems of drastic social re- adaptation have been faced again and again by civilization, the au- thor of this book points out. While the present remaking is the most thorough-going ever undertaken, it does not differ from those suc- cessfully accomplished in the past. LIFE ISN’T SO BAD. By May Edington.

Kelly thinks that life is not so bad after all, and they live happily forever afterward, just as true lovers should. AN AUDIT OF AMERICA. By Ed- ward Eyre Hunt. (McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., New York.) This book is a summary only. The sources of information of the report are in the recent economic changes in the United States, pub- lished in two volumes containing the results of a national survey of post-war developments in economic life, particularly since the recovery from the depression of 1920-1921. This survey was made by a committee of the Presi- dent’s conference on. unemploy- ment and was financed by grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. This volume gives in round fig- ures, however, the Américan audit, with some suggestion as to the di- rection and the magnitude of recent trends. It deals with the new discovery of America from an economic point a view and with the his- torical parallels of that discovery. The consumer and his standards of living are clearly outlined with due regard to income, economic conditions and health, food, manu- factured goods, housing and the farmer’s living standard. The ever-changing conditions ef industry is outlined in the old and new industries production, re- search, emt dg ton of waste, pow- er, scale of oduction mergers, cost of production, volume and size, stability and regional changes.

Ries (in her fascinat- ing book “Mother Wit”) to recall the ingenuity of the traveling salesman who, as the dinner guest at a buyer’s home, was asked to say grace. Being unaccustomed to the practice of tHis ceremony, he could but do his best. “Dear Lord,” he began, “we are in receipt of your kind favors: of recent date and beg to thank you. We hope | to merit your. continued courtesy.” * e * * Which reminds me of a grace story the Rev. Dr. John Watson (“Ian Maclaren”) used to love to tell. A cleric who had a weakness for the good things of the table, including a bottle of wine, when asked to return thanks, would cast an sypemnne eye along the board, and if the repast was simple and homely, washed down by only cider, beer or. mineral waters, he murmured resignedly: “For -the least of these thy mercies, Lord, grant us thankful hearts.” * * € * But when the spread was gen- erous, and a bottle of wine flanked the board, he rolled out an ampler and more lordly grace, by -saying gratefully: “Bountiful Giver of all good things we thank Thee with all our hearts for the abundance of Thy blessings, which give us grace truly to enjoy.” ~ * * * Then there is an old story about a dog running away with a fowl while a long grace was being said during which all eyes were rever- ently shut. “You should watch as well as pry,” said a wicked wag who was present. =z: * * Talking of eating, would it sur- prise you to know that in olden times the most sumptuous repasts were served without cutlery? Later the spoon made its appear- ance—the fork came still later. But no hostess felt obliged to sup- ply a spoon to her guest. _ You brought your own, and the kind you brought was largely instru- mental in deciding your place at table. A silver spoon, says Estelle H. Ries (in “‘Mother Wit’’), was the equivalent of an admission ticket to the aristocratic end of the table. Most spoons were of bone, shell and other materials, so we can see that the expression ‘‘to be born with a silver spoon in the mouth,” really meant something. * 7” * * The first forks were made with only two prongs, like the carving fork of today. No wonder that our ancestors had to eat peas with a knife. Forks were not taken up by the masses at first because t‘ ey were regarded as effeminate. Even the pulpit declared against them, stating their use was insult- ing to God, inasmuch as they sub- stituted mechanical means for the heaven given boon of fingers. oe + +. * Think, tog, how the element of luck entered into the boiling of an egg before the clock wag in- : vented! - Miss Ries declares ‘hat the nearest success she ever ] }rd of. without a clock, was th<« old colored mammy who for a _soft- boiled egg would sing one verse of ‘Rock of Ageés»’’ and for a hard- boiled egg two verses. After a while the family a€quired an in- flexible taste for omelets. 2 * *s- * _* The reopening of St. Paul’s Cathedral after extensive repairs recalls that at the time Sir Joshua Reynolds, founder of the Royal Academy, Was painting the mas- terpieces that adorn the ceiling of the great dome, he worked on an immense scaffolding built up in the interior of the dome. One day, stepping backward the better to view his work, he absent-mindedly reached the edge of the planking. One more step back and he would have fallen to-his death hundreds- of feet below. = ~ a © os An assistant, perceiving his master’s imminent danger, hurled a large wet paintbrush at the ceil- ing.~ Sir Joshua, in acute distress, rushed forward instinctively, to save his work and—his life.

Eventually it laid an egg. a * aa . The duke and duchess were away from home, so a telegram was sent to the latter by the agent tafapprise her of the event. It ran: “Emu has laid an egg: in ab- sence of your grace have put goose to sit upon it.”’ . - e . Rosetti once showed Whistler a sketch and asked his opinion of - its merits. “It has its good points, Rossetti,” said Jimmy, “eo ahead with it by all means.” Later, Whistler inquired how it was getting along. “All right, 8 said Rossetti, cheer- fully, ve ordered a stunning frame for it.” In due time the canvas appeared at Rossetti’s house in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, beautifully framed. “You've done nothing to it since I saw it, have you?” said Whis- ler. “No-o!” replied the poet-painter, “but I’ve written a sonnet about - ee subject, if you’d like to hear "He recited some lines of par-. ticular tenderness. “Rossetti,” said Whisfler as the recitation ended, “take out the pic- tu-- and fruene ye sonnet.” +. 2 + By the eG Sir James Crichton Browne observes that Rossetti’ s women all have long necks, “and a number of them suffer more or less - from enlargement of the thyroid gland.” In the Roman woman, a slight degree of goitre was thought to enhance beauty, says Sir James; with Rossetti it seems to have been almost essential to his conception of it. oF kegel At a recent meeting of librarians a speaker said that he was not surprised to find that in a class of 30 boys 29-had never heard of H.

I was sutning myself when I no- ticed a slight disturbance beneath the sand at my side. A second jJater the earth opened and a fe- male clam. young and rather comely, appeared, shook off the sand that clung to her and sur- veyed the beach. She saw me and in less time than it takes to say “Chowder!” she had disappeared: But I knew it was she. All clams look alike except Elsie. She has distinction. There is no mistak- ing her. “Elsie!” I cried. The sand parted and she reap- peared. “Oh, so it’s you.”’ “I’m glad to see you. Do you mind if I sit up here on your stomach where I can keep a look- out? You gave me a fright. I thought you were a clam digger. My, you’ve improved your stom- ach since I last saw you, haven’t you?” “0, 2 ante. curtly, “And why should you take me for a clam ~digger?’’ “I didn‘t stop to look close,’’ she replied, ‘I’m taking no chances.

Why was I born? What future is there in being a clam?’”’ “Why, Elsie, you mustn’t look at ites in that way.”’ ‘“‘How éise shall I look at them? What have I got to look forward to? . Chowder?

You need—love.” “I need love?” BEjsie laughed sardonically. “Isn't there some good, steady young clam along the beach that could make you happy?” “They've all tried to make me happy,” said Elsie, moodily. ‘I find them very boring.”’ “But I’m sure, Elsie, that if you would only settle down, if you would only give marriage a chance... .” “Marriage?” donic laugh. ’“But just.picture a comfortable little menage, with a lot of little clams running about .. .” “T’ve gota lot of little clams running about, ” said Elsie.

Elsie regarded me with aston- ishment which seemed not. un- mixed with respect. “Can you lay eggs?” she asked. “Certainly not,’’ I said, sum- moning as much dignity as any- one can who is supine on a beach, with an inquisitive clam sitting on his diaphragm. “Oh, I only asked,” she said. “TI never know what you humans will be up to next. I wouldn’t be-a bit surprised if you took to laying eggs.’ “That boy was simply being im- pertinent,” I said. “Oh, well, I feel better.” “Do you. really, Elsie?

Much as we oldsters hate to admit it. the women of those cotton-wool days were not alto- gether free from annoyances that the modern girl has overcome simply by ignoring them. In our town, the one hotel, the Hardy House, was situated on a prominent corner at the end of Main street, but we girls were instructed to avoid passing it un- less accompanied by an older per- son. That because of the row of wooden armchairs that in sum- mer stood on the sidewalk against the building, and in winter inside behind the big windows. These chairs were occupied by “drum- mers,” as traveling men were RUNNING THE GANTLET. then designated, and each occu- - pant was supposed to have con- cealed about his person a com- plete set of horns and hoofs, sym- bols of his dangerous character. Lurid tales concerning these strangers sifted through to paren- tal ears by way of two or three local old bachelors who lived at the hotel, confirming our natural guardians in the belief that girls must be watched in order to pro- tect them from the avid eye of worldly mankind. Today, thanks to the enlighten- ment of parents and the common- sense of their female children, a 16-year-old maiden, intent on her own business, is as safe from the undesired notice of the occupants of club windows or loiterers in hotel lobbies as we were behind our front gates or en route to the church social.

Mark Hanna, who had had his fling with organized labor in Ohio &nd had long years before this year learned how best to bar- gain with his*men, had no stomach for a strike in a presidential year, and he began ta move to settle this one. When he found the operators would not listen to him, he went over their heads to their boss, J. P. Morgan, and ay- ranged for a personal interview for Mitchell with the banker. What was said in that room in New York (/has never become known. Even the meeting place is a secret. Two masterful men, one representing Capital and the other Labor, met and when they had talked out the mattér in con- troversy, Morgan the banker €all- ed off the strike, by granting the miners a wage increases a reduc- tion in the price of powder, the abolition of the sliding scale and recognition of grievance. commit- tees. The miners met in convention and ratified the agreement and it lasted for one year. In annomnec- ing the end of the strike, Mitchel! said that it “stands out in. bold relief as the most remarkable con- test between labor and capital in the industrial history of our Na- tion.”” Commemorating the event, the miners voted October 29th.as a holiday and called it Mitchell Day. Their leader had become a great power in the republic. President Baer, of the Reading , ahd the other raijroad. presidents . je. mines recognized his power and they fixed on a plan of destroying his influence by refus- ing to have any dealings with him. They were quick to note the jeal- ousy and enmity of Tom Lewis and anthracite other labor leaders, and it evi- dently was in their plans to play to this group and bring confusion and disorder in the ranks of the miners. In the latter part of 1901, when the agreement of 1900 was expir- ing, Mitchell sought to have a con- ference with the operators to ne- gotiate a new wage and working agreement, Mark Hanna again interfered and arranged a confer- ence in New York, which came to naught. Mitchell hoped “that the union would be ultimately recog- nized.’” The agreement expired and 1902 came and with it the threat of a general strike. Mitchell played patiently for time and was silent under rebuffs from George F. Baer and Thomas, of the Erie, and other operators. Finally, the miners met at Sha- mokin, on March 18-24, and pressed Mitchel] for a strike. He prevailed on the convention to ap- peal to the National Civic Federa- tion to meditie». The miners agreed that pending this they would work three’ days a week and would not call out the engineers and pump men. The operators refused all overtures. When Mitchell proposed that Archibishop freland and Bishop Potter and a third man, to be named by them, be selected to arbitrate the con- troversy, Baer replied that “an- thracite mining is a business and not a religizgious, sentimental or academic proposition.” Then Mitchell replied, “We have spoken our. last word and the time for action, hes arriaed.” ee GD, Step by step he had jockeyed the operators into an untenable position and had won for the miners that body of public opinion — which was never to desert bim and without which he could not have gone on to victory. The cli- max of stupidity came when John W. Gates ‘‘bet-you-a-million,”’ after a conference with J. P. Mor- gan, offered to bet 100 to 1 that the strike would fail. The coal barons were playing golf when they got Mitchell’s telegram. Mark Hanna once more went — over the operators’ heads and cabled direct to Mr. Morgan and tried to organize the stockholders of the rail lines against their presidents, but his part in this game was by now about played out. New and younger leaders were to take the reins and drive —Theodore Roosevelt and John Mitchell. A general strike of the bita- minous miners east of the Mis- sissippi had been called in sym- pathy with the anthracite strike, and Mitchell had but $100,000 in the treasury. It was a desperate situation. But he had the cour- age to face it. He held the strike eall in his pocket one month be- fore issuing it. Such patience was exasperating. Roosevelt now took a hand, He sent Carroll D. Wright into the hard coal fields to investigate and report on the’ situation, and Baer ran him off, telling him he had had enough of political interfer- ence and threats in 1900. Hanna got Morgan az Mitchell together xalie and they agreed on a com- promise’to avert the strike, and Baer turned it down cold. Then the mighty T. R. summoned both sides to his office for a “epnier- ence. ty Pace Continned mF a8¢ agg AB, Column. ae)

You still have to look twice at some of them to determine whether they inadvertently left part of their bathing suits in the bathhouse when they stepped out, but as a general thing they are no more immodest than for the past several years.

Hippodrome Underwater Ballet or just a good girl gone wrong. - “The average bathing girl of the bygone era considered that she had about gone the limit when she waded in to her knees and gave a mean look to the play-boy with the black mustache who showed signs of wanting to splash her,’’ went on the senator. ‘“‘Her main fear was that she would get wet all over.” ‘‘Remember the horror of the old-time bathing girl when she ac- cidentally wet her bair?’’ laughed Dummer.

Then, his fighting blood thoroughly aroused, he _ deter- mined, if possible, te prosecute under the Sherman act. *And that failing, his next plan was to send the whole United States Army into the coal fields: and take charge of the mines.

But Roosevelt was pot Cleveland, and his Cabinet would never bave in- dorsed such an act. For months the strike dragged . along, men being killed, families evicted from company homes, mines ruined, a reign of terror growing up. Then Secretary Root asked to be allowed to mediate the matter. He and old J. P.

When she went to the beach it was with a feeling that it was a pretty hazardous undertaking.”’ ‘“‘The great sport of the days of yore from the male standpoint was to teach her how to swim,’’ mused Dummer; ‘The boy friend didn’t know any too much about it himself, but there was quite a-kick in the kpowledge that some frail crea- ture trusted him enough to let him put one arm about her belt- line and murmur. ‘That’s the way, while she made hysterical motions with arms and legs and seemed about to expire of fright any moment.” “The diving girl of deol days was an unknown quantity,’’ re- marked Dummer. ‘She never got wet all over un- less somebody threw her out of a canoe,’’ went on the senator. “It just wasn’t ladylike. About the worst news you could bring home to the old-fashioned mother was that the apple of her eye had not only learned to swim but had ac- tually gone out over her head without a maidenly amount of hesitation. If the tidings were sup- plemented by the news the girl ‘had swum from the float back to the shore without once girsins white and crying, ‘Save ute or I a ee perish’ the folks shook their heads and voiced a fear that she would run away with a burlesque show if not watched.’”’ « * +o . Fireside Attitude Changed. (s7TNHE way swimming has come in in this country is amaz- ing,’’ admitted Dummer. “If a woman can’t swim today it dates her as a daughter of the Mc- Kinley administration,”’ said Sena- tor Dumm. “Find me any young woman who can’t swim like a seal and I’ll show you a young woman who has a wooden leg and a couple of artificial arms. The fireside at- titude toward swimming has changed completely. In the old days the water was associated with disasters at sea. It was not con- sidered necessary for a boy to learn to swim unless he-was going to be a sailor, or for a girl to know how to swim unless she planned a. voyage across the At- lantic in an open boat. Today the modern parent takes little Win- gate, aged 3, down to the beach and tosses him into the water with the carefree spirit of a person put- ting a goldfish back into the bowl. If the kid isn’t a fairly good swim- merc by the age of 56 he is consid- ered bacKward, physically and mentally. If he doesn’t win a half dozen swimming cups by the age of $8 he is put down as just plain dumb.’’ ”? eee House and when they emerged the President announced the strike would be arbitrated. It had been in existence five months and one week, and had cost men and masters several hundred mil- lion dollars. A new era for organized labor dates from this strike and “the ar- bitration and a new poliey in handling labor controversies. There have been four strikes in the anthracite region since 1902 but only one had any consequence. That in 1906 began Apri] 1, and ended May 7, with -161,039 men out; that of 1912 began April 1,~ and, ended May 20, with 151,958 men out; tmat of 1920 began September 2 and ended September 19, with 96,840 men out; and the last one, that of 1922, began April 1, and lasted until Septem- ber 11, with 142,442 men out. This last strike worried Presi- dent Harding no end and he graci- ously turned it over to Congress with a message recommending the creation of a commission to inves- tigate and recommend a solution. Thus.the U..S. Coal Commission, a eee, ‘ee ee a fo esenes tS Sd e : ee NS are es SS headed by John Hays Hammond, came into existence. It was a dis- tinguished commission, composed, besides Hammond, of Thomas R. Marshall, the former Vite Presi- dent; Clark Howell, the Georgia editor; George Otis Smith, the Government. geologist; Edward T. Devine and Charles P. Neill. It employed a large staff of experts and. investigated hard and~ soft coal mines and their labor troubles. After eleven months of labor it expired by limitation and made its report. The miners and the operators learned their lessons from Gov- ernment investigations. In Wil- son’s time, in 1920, there was an investigation by a presidential commission that brought in a divided report, and gave no re- lief. The miners struck for two weeks as a protest against the majority report. The Hammond investigation settled nothing ex- cept that it gave both sides some unpleasant notoriety. In the gen- eral findings it reported: “We find that the agreement* between . the operators’ and the eS aS SS SES eS eee — —————— i HE girls of today are better swimmers than the boys,” insisted Dummer. “I'll say they are,” admitted the senator. ‘Parents start teaching the female child the Australian crawl stroke as soon as she fin- ishes teething.

That is the prayer of the farmers and all who have the welfare of the country at heart. For the drought of the first part of the summer is hurting the crops and all the coun- tryside is suffering for the want of cooling and healing rains. Did you ever stop to think how much good the rain does? In the first place, it relieves. the thirsty earth, supplies water for the creatures ef the fields, woods and air, keeps Mother Nature’s face nicely washed and clean and adds to the general happiness of the world. Do not waste water these days! In some places there is fear that the supply of drinking water and water for other household purposes will be exhausted if rains do not come before long. In many of the towns around Washington the supply of water is very low. Of course, I do hot mean that you can not use all the water you need for baths, drinking purposes and other normal uses. But I am warning you against the waste of water in a dry season like the one prevailing now. August will be here in a few days. That is the month in which you should get the very best out of your vacation. For September is marching Tight behind August, bearing a ban- ner on which is printed the words “Bchool days, Schoo] days, dear old Golden Rule days.” So make the most of your August days so you can give your full attention to school when it opens once more. On August Ist the contest for the best Knighthood of Youth shield»will close.

Do not forget that you can use colors on your shield, if you wish. Be sure that the shield tells a story of Knighthood in some way. This can be told with a very few figures and a few words if one is skillful in their use. We want a code for the new club we are about to announce for our boy and girl readers over twelve years of age. A code is the law by which one lives. Now, a boy or girl can have laws -by which he or she lives. The law of kindness, the law of obedience, the law of cheerfulness and the law of honesty. In that way the code will guide our young members in liv- ing up to the simple but necessary laws of the club. We want our boys and girls to suggest this code so that it will speak of their point of view on life. For the best code sent in by Aug- ust 15, we will give a special prize of $2. Do not make your code more than 500 words long. Sign it with your name, age, school and full address. Write only on one side of the paper, in ink. We still want vacation letters, pic- tures and poems. Summer time is full of inspiration for our artists, poets and writers. Perhaps you notice that we are using all the summer material we can. .That is because the Junior Post believes in keeping step with the march of the months. Editor Junior Post. Liege IVACATION © Days TYpraa Keamee (2) Awarded $1 Cartoon Prize. Dawn on the Hudson River. I have visited large cities many times, and I have seen a great many tall and appalling structures “wich filled me with awe. I have listened to and seen mighty cataracts of 4ds- tounding height and power. I have seen many things which caused me to wonder at them, but only once have I seen such a beautiful scene as the dawning of a new day on the Hudson River. I wish that I were an artist, so that I might express with more than mere words the exquisite beauty and the quiet grandeur of such a scene. We were riding on a train toward the City of New York and first all was rather dreary in the cold, gray light. of morning. The majestic Catskills stood back silent and ominous, form- ing a rather grim background forthe Hudson River, which crawled drearily on its way. Everything had the ef- fect of gloominess. But gradually the curtain of gloom rose from the scene and it was astonishing to see what a change came over everything. The sun had risen and was smiling from between peaks of mountains no longer ominous, but bright. and cheery and even beautiful in the sunlight. And the river was trans- formed into a sparkling, shimmering, silvery ribbon, winding its way to the sea. The light, too, seemed to reach every nook and corner, for now the scene was no longer dreary, but vivid and lifelike. And doesn't it all make you wonder and marvel at the fact that it all came from just dawn? HELEN TRAPANI. 692 Seventh street, Buffalo, N. Y. ee cone Aids I. ELDRioge: 47.792 My Life. I am a little fox terrier of one and one-half years old, my name is Ralph. I am spotted with brown and white all over. I will describe myself so, if you see me you will know I am Ralph the fox terrier. One ear is brown and the other white, my nose and my two front paws are white, my hind legs and half of my tail is brown, my body is spotted with half brown and half white. I have heard my mistress say I had the exact picture of South America on my back. Isn't it funny? I could be used for a geography. Ahem! I am beginning to be big. I used the word geography. Isn't that a long word. Oh dear. I almost forgot to tell you my pride. I. have a white vest. I keep it very clean and white when my friends (or my mistress’ friends) come. I hold up my head so everybody can see it. My mistress laughs and call it foolish pride. Huh, I feel hurt. By mistake somebody left a piece of paper, pen and ink in the desk, They won't find it, for it will be with my friend, the Junior Post, and I also hope they will be in the paper. . I was born on a large farm in Mary- land, on August 20. I was born_in a box in the house in the kitchen. I was frightened at first at a little girl named Ethel (who is now my mils- tress), who picked me up and kissed me. but now I am very fond of her, When I was about four months old Ethel pu‘ a collar on me. I bit, pulled and scratched until I was tired. Finally I got so used to it J didn't even notice it. It seems that I was a great pet, for I heard the name pet several times.

Bobby and Betty were playing in the yard when their mother came out and said they might have a tea rty. The children were very happy about this. When they had finished, Bobby said: “‘Let‘s explore.” Betty said she would. So they went. They walked about a mile. Bobby said: “Let’s go in this house.” They went into the house. Bobby said: “Are you afraid, Betty. * Betty said, “No, I am not afraid.” Bobby said: “Let’s go home.” 650 they went home. They told their mother about their adventure. The next day they went on another adventure. They saw an old boat with two oars. Betty said: “Let’s get in it.” So they got in it and rowed out to the river, then the boat turned over. Bobby could swim, but Betty could not swim. Bobby got hold of Betty and took her ashore. Then they went home. They told their mother about their adventure. Then they went upstairs and went to bed. JANE DUCEY (age 10.) Navy Yard, D.C. A Faithful Dog. Jack was a police dog. One day he was left at home with an old grand- mother while the family went to town. Jack was in the grandmother’s room upstairs when a spark leaped from the fire. Before long the house was on fire and was burning quickly. When the firemen came, Jack jumped out of the window and, see- ing no one ascend the ladder, went to the firemen and went around them twice, putting his paws on the first rung of the ladder. Finally the chief said, “Jim, that dog is trying to tell you something.” So the firemen went the room where the grandmother was. She was too old to scream for help. When she was brought out of the house Jack barked and wagged his tail for joy. Jack was a brave dog. BARBARA KIKER. 1748 W street southeast. The Conqueror.

Some people go on excursions to seaside resorts, where the cool air in- vigorates and refreshes them. Others go to visit ancient historical places, where the ruins of castles and round towers are still to be seen. Here they view grand old scenes of long past days, where royal castles and towers once stood in magnificent glory and splendor. But it is the most de- lightful and best of holidays to go out to the sweet and peaceful coun- try, where the people feel happiest and are loath to leave even for one day their sweet and happy homes, Nothing is so sweet in summer as the country. The fields are carpeted with long green grass, spotted all over with wild flowers of various col- ors. The trees are heavily laden with their mantle of green leaves, and up in those trees are to be seen nests, where early in spring eggs of every variety lay, watched by a loving moth- er bird. Now a change has taken place. These tiny eggs are hatched and the little birds are able to fly and hop from bough to bough, pour- ing forth their music in sweet har- mony. The hedges are of a bright green color and look more lovely than ever, showing off more grandly the works of God. The sky overhead is a beautiful blue, to and fro little frail clouds roll over one another like little waves. In the orchard green apples have begun to blush, green nuts to brown and It is delightful to| walk slowly down & grassy meadow\| and inhale the fragrance of the \new mown hay, wafted toward us oh the breeze., Far away in the distancé can be seen the cornfield and drowsy\poppies nodding their heads. In one little valley\there is a cot- tage with roses twined round the door, and it is surroun on all sides by fields. In’ one Gos this the side of which grow dainty flow- ers, a little maiden of about 0 sum- mers brings tea to the men, and her can is sparkling like a jewel in the sun. It ig delightful to see how thankfully the men sit down under a shady oak tree to take their tea and have a pleasant chat. Nearby, in a large field, are to be. seen the cows, lazily lying in the - shade of the tall trees. On the hill- side one can see the young lambs skipping in the sunshine. In the farm yard the fluffy little goslings, with bodies like balls of yellow wool, seek refuge under their mothers’ wing. The bees fly from flower to flower seeking honey, while the larks soar high in the air singing sweet songs, and the tiny, fragile butterflies are seen flitting through the air. Coming on to evening you can hear the peculiar sound of the mowing machine and the shouting of the men to the horses. The dogs bark as they run beside their master. Then the milkmaid singing joyfully with her pail of milk on her head. Perhaps when. you are sitting quietly and you can hear. nothing but the ripple of some nearby stream or the rustling of leaves among the trees, the corn- cake will call out his name and the funny noise of the grasshopper is heard. . All is beauty! But the long sum- mer day is drawing to a close, and sunset is soon to come. The birds have ceased to. sing. They are wearied and have gone to _ sleep among the branches, their heads tucked beneath. their wings. The gentle breezes no longer play on leat and flower; there is not even the slightest stir—the day is slipping away without a single sigh. The sun sinks down into its bed in the West, lighting the whole sky till it seems like the cup of a vast inverted golden flower, and then slowly the flower fades in the dusky hand of night.

The most interesting journey that you can ever imagine has been planned just for you. . It is a Journey such as all knights, old and new, have taken. King Arthur, Sir Gala- had, Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, Florence Nightingale, Thomas A. Edi- son and many others have traveled along the course. It is a journey which if rightly taken will lead to the Castile of Knighthood. As members of the Knighthood of Youth you want to be worthy to live in a castle and you want -to know just what road te travel in or- der to reach it. Now is your chance to find out all about it. The road- way which you should travel on this interesting journey is beautifully pic- tured in bright colors. As you fol- low its course and long straight stretches, you will think of many in- terestng adventures. You will see such places as Failure Woods, Slump Valley and Quick Temper Rapids. No doubt you will say to yourself, “Sure- ly those places do not lead to a Castle of Knighthood.” No. indeed, but your pictured journey tells you just how you can avoid these places so you can reach your Castle of Knight- Right here I want to'tell you about ® game “two brothers, Ralph and Frank, play while they are taking this same journey. Each drew a map of the journey just like the one he received when he joined as a page. They want to travel the knightly highroad, so each day they try to do all the things they should which will keep them on it. If they stray into od of the sidepaths they fail: that y Each night they study their pic- _ tured journey and the one who has succeeded in staying on the proper road colors an inch of the knightly highread with his crayons. Ralph uses 2 green One and Frank a red one. Some days only the one suc- ceeds and on other days both are successful. They are their own judges and so they are very honest. They haven't yet completed their journey, but are still traveling upward to their Castle of Knighthood. When you receive your surprise you may wish to play the same game. It doesn't matter whether’ you are be- ginning as a page or as an esquire you. age play it just the same. But the journey and the game asren’t-all of the surprise. No, indeed nett There is the framework of a beautiful large castle, and you learn how to build this castle by earning castle stones; Each stone you add to your castle will stand for something “yeu have done because you really wanted to do it. These stones may be colored and you may plan your own color scheme. When it ts all completed how proud you will be. Now you are wondering just how you are to get the stones with which to build your castle, aren’t you? That is a part of the surprise. It is all explained in a beautiful new four- page adventure folder which you are to receive and which contains the in- teresting journey and the beautiful castle. But that isn’t ali! There is a new reminder card right on the back of the folder. Mr. Card felt sure we were going to leave him out and not send him to any page or esquires be- cause sO Jnmany of you young knights forget to use him. But Mr. Card knew he is really very valuable be all of you so he actually begged to be made a part of this new folder. This is exactly what he said, “Now how is Page Peter to. remember four weeks from now whether or not he has cleaned his teeth every day in trying to become a strong knight? You tell me how he can remember .that long.. He can’t, can he?” ~ had to admit that it would ‘be a d job. “Well,” continued Mr. Card, “if I am on the back of the new adventure “folder then he can mark every night whether or not he has cleanéd his teeth and at the end of the four weeks all he will need to do is look at me and I will tell him whether or not he has improved enough in his efforts to add a stone to his castle. “Then, too.” he added, “you know I am chang ed. I havé all blank spaces now with my questions written at the bottom so that each page or age Seo may choose what he wants to write on me.” We decided Mr. Card really was portant, so he now occupies the back of the new folder.

Junior Post editor is happy to inform members of the Knighthood of Youth that, judging from the entries, some splen- did new shields will result from the Shield Contest sap will close on August 1. The junior artists have put good work on their shields and have shown by their drawings that they under- stand the spirit of the game of Knighthood which 3,000 boys and girls are playing under the guidance of The Washington Post and its Junior Post published every Sunday. The contest for the prize story and prize poem on Knighthood needs more entrants. What’s the matter, pages and esquires? Can’t you write about your experiences, in the Knighthood? I know you are en- thusiastic for you to come into the Junior Post editor’s office.on Satur- days and tell how much fun and good you have had playing the game. Yet when it comes to writing about Citizenship Study Urged on Knights As Character Aid Future Voters Advised to Prepare Themeelves for Their Duties. Are you a good citizen? A good citizen obeys the laws of his country, knows its history, tries to serve in any way possible and always stands up for it when it is attacked éither in word or deed. During the summer vacation is a time to check up on what kind “of citizens members of the Knight- hood of Youth are, anyway. For a boy or girl being a citizen means firat of all that you are a worth-while member of your home. That is that you do some- thing for the home more than get- ting food, shelter, clothing and care from it. The appearance of your home is a matter with which you as well “ag your parents should be concerned. people will think that those. who live within that house are not-nice, clean or careful citizens. Keep aad steps and sidewalks neat and “policed,” as they say in the Army. In any Army camp every scrap of paper and other item of rubbish is picked up and placed in-cans to bé carted away. Take a look around your house, yard and sidewalk this morning. Can it pass inspection? If not, get out and ciean it up. No page or esquire of the Knighthood of Youth is too small for this task. Write on your reminder card the question, “Have I been a good citizen today?” When you mark it at night first consider how you have behaved in the home. Then think about the way you have acted in the commu- nity, the street on which you live and your own immediate neighborhood. Have you been orderly in your play? Or have you yelled and annoyed ill persons and neighbors by unneces- sary shouting? Now, I know it is hard to live in a-city and be deprived of the privilege of shouting when you feel like it. But that is a part of good citizenship, to consider others who live so near to you that they will be troubled by your screams and shouts. Wait until you get out in the country where: you can call from one hill to another: before you prac- tice Just how loud: you can shout. Study the history of your city and your country this summer by visiting all the historic spots in and near your home. You will be surprised how many interesting places are near you. Ask older people about their histories. Make notes of what you find out and when you return to school in the fall it will be good material for themes and compositions. Boys and girls who have the great privilege of living in the City of Washington, did you ever think about the Capitol Building? Do you know what is done there? When was it built? Who laid the corner stone? There are many questions to be an- swered about it and the knowledge of its history will make you a_ better citizen. For every citizen should un-. derstand his national, State and city governments. a will have mailed to you an adventure folder without additional cost. You do not even need to write. . Just watch the mail and some morning _ £00n Mr. Mailman will leave you one telling that he is ready to ad- | in rank y ough with ad A work faithfully that you may re- eeive your pew folder. ~~ it, you are rather slow, although we get plenty of material, stories and poems from boys and girls for the other parts of the Junior Post. From letters we receive we know that our Enighthood members are scattered throughout the country just now. Some of them have gone to visit relatives in other cities, some are at the sea shore and others are enjoying life on the farm or in the mountains. Wherever you may be, I hope you are not forgetting to mark your Knighthood reminder cards faithfully. Do not take a vacation from that good turn each day. Because, who knows, you may be the first Knight of all in The Washington Post Knighthood of Youth group. What is your hobby this summer? Tf. you haven’t one, you are missing a lot of fun. There are flower collections you can make which will help you to earn good marks next winter in your na- ture study classes. There are several ways to make this collection. You can draw each flower in a book, you can carefully pick and press™ speci- mens of flowers and leaves or you can preserve them by dipping them in wax. No matter which way you choose to keep your flowers, write the name under each specimen, where and when you saw it, and any interesting notes about it which come into your mind. If birds are your hobby, draw as many kinds as you see, name them, and write brief descriptions of them. It is a good plan to color your draw- ings. Also take snapshots of birds whenever possible. In your birdbook keep, also, the poems that appear from time to time in the newspapers and the magazines. You might want to write a bird poem or two yourself, Members Can Write in to Tell of Events During Vacation Trips. and this will add interest to your book. If you belong to that big group of boys and girls who like to take pic- tures, make this a big season by tak- ing more pictures than ever before— and better ones. Learn to develop and print them yourself. Make blue print copies of films. Then, too, the Knighthood of Youth itself leads to a hobby, and a very fine one, a study of knighthood. In this study you will find many master- pieces in art and letters dealing with knighthood. Knighthood held the center of the world’s stage for more than 800 years. So, to our members to whom the nmames of Arthur, Lancelot, Richard the Lion Hearted, Joan of Arc and St. have only been names, comes the realization that these names are of men and women who were once human beings, fighting a good fight so that men remember them for their deeds. Their own fight for clean lives and good character becomes more im- portant and more thrilling when they remember that they have as brothers in arm, Sir Pelleas, the gentle knight, and Sir Galahad, the pure, and others of the noble army of knights. Then, as the knighthood club grows and grows, more chances will come to those who know the rules of the game, who have earned stones of character for their castles and have conquered self in building good habits into their lives instead of bad ones.

Have you ever thought how won- derful it would be to be such a great knight that a handsome statue in a@ great city would be erected im your honor? As the boys and girls of the Knighthood of Youth walk through beautiful Farragut Square in Washington and see the imposing statue of the great sea king, Davis | Glasgow Farragut, admiral of the United States Navy, we hope that they stop to think that the square had its name and the statue erected there because the man thus honored was unafraid and had noble thoughts and ideals. When Farragut was a little boy his mother told him how necessary it was for a real knight to be brave and to serve his country and t© al- ways fight hard and stand for thé right. David never forgot his mother and her teachings, although she died when he was but 7 years of age. His father was a great knight, who had fought and saved women and chil- dren from the Indians. But he could not fight the dragon of sorrow at thé death of young Farragut’s mother and he died, too. So this little lad, wh@ was to place his name high among the knights of the great nation, was left alone. Another great knight, Capt. David Porter, of the United States Navy, took him and cared fof him and brought him up in thé splendid traditions of the United States Navy. Capt. Porter became Ade miral*® Porter and the young boy, then a man who owed him so much, wanted to be an admiral, too. Capt. Porter took young David to sea with him when he was only 9 years of age, for boys learned to do their duty early in those days. In the War of 1812 young Davia Farragut was orily 11 years old. But he saw and helped to slay the dra< gons which beset a true naval knight and was in the thick of the fight on the Essex. When he was only this youthful knight who early took @ man’s place in the defense of his country was on The Washington in the Mediterraean. In 1822 David Parragut was one of the gallant defenders on the Carib- bean mosquito fleet, a group of smal? boats fighting against pirates who in- fested the waters and the people who - wished to sail them. This was hard duty for the young knight and the pirates were more terrible than the ones the brave knights met in thé enchanted forests. For two years Fare, ragut never knew when he would able to go to hed at night. All th time young Farragut was polishin his shining armor so that it woul be bright and strong when he w made a naval officer. The chief wa he took to keep this armor polishe was to study and get an educatiod so he would be able to be a leadef of men which an ignorant or una learhed man never can be. He was made Flag Ensign Farragut and then his promotion went on fog years and years because he gave trug@ and ready service to the Navy: He won many victories in the Civil War, which you can read about your histories and was made the = miral of the Navy, the highest awar in the gift of the people of the Unite States to the heroes of the Navy an which has only been held by gut’s foster father, Admiral Porter, and Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay in the Spanish-Amer«< ican War. The Ball of Yarn... ! ' Betty Kent was spending Christmas with her grandmother; who owned a small farm in Kentucky. Betty did not like to knit at all. She said she did not see why she must do any- thing she disliked so much in Christ- mas vacation. “If you don’t do any knitting.” her grandmother said, “Santa Claus will not bring you any presents.” So Bet- ty knitted a little rug for ber doll house. When Christmas morning dawned Betty ran downstairs to see what she had gotten. Now, Betty had long wished for a watch, and when it was net among her Christmas gifts she was very disappointed. She liked all her presents except a big ball of yarn. But after her grandmother told her that there was a surprise in it she de- cided it was sort of a nice present, after all. She decided to knit a Sweater for her aunt’s new baby, her little cousin. At last the sweater was finished, and at last the ball was, too. She unwound the last strand of wool from the surprise with trembling fin- gers. When she opened the package she found a little — watch. “T am glad I disliked knitti said, “and I am also giad that finished the sweater for cousin.” JULIETTE H. COOPER (age 11).

To play it, take the aces, deuces, treys, fours, fives and sixes from a deck of cards and arrange them as shown in the illustration. The game is played by two opponents, who alternately turn one card face down and add its spots to the points already scored by both players. The ace counts one point and the others according to number. The object of the game is to score exactly 31 points combined, or to come 80 close to it that the other player can not turn down any card without overrunning 31 points. For instance, one player turns down a deuce and counts two; the other turns down a five, and adding this to the score counts seven; the first player turns down an ace and counts eight, and the play proceeds until one player reaches 31 or forces the other to go beyond that number, and wins. No card that has once been turned down may be used again, & The Old Gray Mare In the original version of the game an unlimited number of pebbles was used and to win a player merely had to score 3, 10, 17 and 24, after which, no matter what number from 1 to 6 the other player used, the first player was sure to seore 91. In this form, however, only four of each number are available, and the game becomes more complicated. . For example, knowing the winning series you play a 3; your opponent plays a @-and counts 7; you play 3 and make the 10; the other plays 3 and counts 13; you play.4 and count 17; the other plays 4 and counts 21; you play 3 and make your 24. But-your opponent fiow plays the last 4 and scores 28. There are tio more threes for you to score 31, so that you are forced to play an ace or deuce-and ciloge. Nevertheless, the first player can ys win if he makes the correct Arst move. Assume that both players are awa tthe secret of the pebble game is to score $, 10, 17 and 24, and see if you can tell ‘initial move will assure a victory.

The Valiant Lady said that she would take Little Lillian with her, _. as her father could not leave. Then Jenny and her brother Bill got per- mi mn from their parents to come along and Lenore’s father said they ~ could be in his party. Next Lenore’s governess wanted to go. Alice and Ruth, who had been such naughty little girls, but said they would be good and joined the George Wash- ington circle, wanted to go, also, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown said they would The VaHant. Lady said that the little Ital- ian mother must not be left out, that she thought Mr. Mercury could bear such a tiny additional burden. So at last the Valiant Lady’s trek became the journey of the George Washington circle to see the world. “Answer that telephone, will you dear,” the Valiant Lady requested “of Anne. Already she was busily dressing and packing and getting ready for an . early start and Sam was out putting some last things in the care of Mr. Mercury. A Serial Story for The Knighthood of Youth “Little Lillian is all re: ‘y, shall she come over?” Anne asked as she turned from the -telephone. “Her father wants to bring her on the way to his fire engine house.” “Of course, we want all our parts here as soon as possible,” answered the Valiant Lady. “Tell them to have some sweaters—and a rain coat. O, you have outgrown young Anne, 80 they will not have to bring one.” “You think of everything, mother,” said Anne affectionately as she hung up the telephone.” Lillian’s father was so pleased. He had not thought about sweaters—I do not think.” : _“I am glad you love your mother, dear,’ the Valiant Lady declared as she stooped down to kiss her little daughter. “Love you mother, why, I am the most fortunate little girl. For no one ever had a mother like you,” Anne said with emphasis. . “Well, my dear, I try to be a good mother—mother and father, too.” The Valiant Lady turned her head away as she said this is so that her little daughter would not see the gush of rs Of her eyes at the thought of the father who had given his life for his country. “Sam, Sam, Sam, you stop thatt” Anne cried, as she made a rush to the kitchen. “Mother, Sam opened one Of the boxes and took out a sand- - wich after we sealed the boxes up 50 nicely, too.” “Why Sam,” the Valiant Lady said in a surprised voice. “Well, you just get one sandwich less when we stop to eat—and I hope you will be very hungry.” . “Isn’t he a greedy thinr, mother?” Anne asked. “Well, no—not more than most boys, I guess,” the Valiant Lady re- plied. “Most boys seem hallow in- side. Did you not get enough break- fast, son?” she asked. “Oh yes,” ‘Said Sam, who seemed ~ ashamed as he said this. “Gienty mother but—I just wanted to sample - the sandwiches to see if they would make little girls sick,” this with a grimace at his sister. “Or little boys,” laughed the Valiant Lady: “Here is Little Lillian How sweet you look, dear!” the Vali- ant Lady said as she smiled down on the little girl for she knew just how much Little Lillian liked clothes. She was one of the kind of mothers who liked to. encourage the dere to look nice in little girls. “Do I, dear Valiant Lady,” said Little Lillian. “Father wanted me to wear a pink dress but ‘I thought perhaps you would have on a blue one.” “What real flattery!” exclaimed the Valiant Lady,” well, you look dear in your blue dress—and I have a blue dress on too.” “Yes,” Little Lilliain said seriously. “Lenore’s father says you should al- ways wear blue to match your eyes.” “Isn’t he an observing man,” Anne said, “just to think a man who read all those books on science looking at the color Of eyes.

It was very warm on the ground but when we rose high in the air over Washington it got cooler and cooler. As we looked down on the city we saw more than a thousand children having a gay time at Glen Echo. It was the annual outing of the Washington Elks for the orphans of the city and there they were— 1,200 strong, blowing horns, riding .on the amusement. machines and when they were ready for lunch 400 gallons of lemonade, 150 gallons of ice cream and piles of sandwiches awaited their attack. ' Just as we left the’ Potomac River region we saw the Sea Scout Ship Potomac-coming up the river with a group of Sea Scouts on her deck. ‘“Boys have a fine time these days,” remarked the pilot, and your editor agreed with him. ~ As we flew along the air route to New York suddenly the pilot pointed to another airship flying quite near to us. “Look atNthat baby. Wonder if.it is Lindy, jr.” We looked closer. and it was not this world famous baby but tiny Burt Mabry, 7 weeks old, flying with his father from North Beach, Long Island, to Albany, N. Y. Burt had stolen a march on_ Charles Augustus, jr., and holds the record of being the youngest baby ever to fly. Of course, if Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh take their Young son into the air within the next two weeks Baby Burt will lose his championship. Babies seem to be taking to the air nowadays, for later in our ride when we stopped at Chicago to refuel we were shown a letter Marilyn Jean Swan wrote to Lindy, jr., challenging him to an air race. Marilyn Jéan is only two weeks old, so she can not write and signed her letter with her footprint. Im-her letter she said: “I’m an aviator baby, too.” Forty boys were practicing in Van Cortlandt Park, New York, while we were flying over it on the trip for the big glider race to be held in Sep- tember. The boys made the gliders as part of-their school courses at the Haaren High School. “We'll be there, too,” exclaimed the pilot. And so we will. During our New York stay the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia sailed on the liner Paris. When she comes back she is going to become an Amer- ican citizen. She is a cousin of the late czar. She has learned to design dresses and earns her own living like other good Americans, so we must welcome her to citizenship and hope she will be happy in this land of the free and the home of the brave. “There are some good fliers at Cor- nell,” suggested the pilot. When we got there your Current Events Editor realized the joke. They were a col- lection of 22,000 moths and butter- flies, but their pretty wings were no longer of any use too them.

What a time Santa Claus would have had if he had been in our plane with us picking out some new reindeer for next Christmas. But he loves the old team very much and they have given him good serv- ice for many years. Over Denver, Colo., on our way to Jim, a meadow lark, who is in the radio business, sing into the microphone from a telephone pole outside the windows of KOA station in that city. Happy Jim is beloved by all the boys and girls who tune in to hear him each morning. He flew around our plane, inspecting it, but did not at- tempt to enter it. “How about Europe?” asked the Pilot when we reached New York again. “All right,” said the Current Events Editor. Riding over Ports- mouth, England, in the harbor below us was the Shamrock V just starting on her trip to America, where she is trying to capture the America’s Cup. Her brave master, Sir Thomas Lipton, is too ill to go with his ship this year, which is a matter of regret to all. It was fun to see the great collec- tion of marionettes assembled in Paris to honor the hundredth anni- versary of Lemercier, who created this toy for the amusement of countless children. The talking dolle were beautifully made, and we would have liked to stay longer watching the dolls doing their stunts. But time pressed, and on we flew until we reached Forfar, Scotland, where a pretty 4-year-old girl was seen in a book shop buying a book. It was Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of York, who may some day sit on the throne of England. The baby princess khew what book she wanted, and when she found it she asked “How much is it?” and paid for it out of a tiny purse. Passing over England on the re- turn trip to Washington our plane flew down near Quebec House, the historie home of Gen. Wolfe, con- queror of Canada, which has been bought for a museum. The home is at Wrexham, England, and all the Wolfe relics will be, placed in it. Reaching Washington once more we landed safely at Bolling Field only té6, find that it was much, much warmer on the ground than it had been high in the air in The Junior Post airship.

The first player can always win if he leads with a five. If the other plays another five, the first one plays a two and scores twelve. Then as often as the second player turns down a five the first one plays a two. Eventu- ally the second player will be forced to drop out of the winning series of 3; 10, 17, 24 and “31, and the first player will be able to step in and win.

Quiet comes over the patient a few hours before death, a period of serenity which does not announce re- covery but, on the contrary, shows surrender to the insidious powér of the attacking germs. The husband. dies, the child dies, ere long the wife and the mother die. The Black Death knows no class There are vacant chairs among the high and mighty as well as among the poor. Nobles are ‘seized, knights are seized. Priests die, bishops die, monks die. The Arch of Can- terbury is among the fated sufferers. The year 1348 turns into 1349. The most dreary Christmas ever known—a Christmas when many forgot to pray . and none rejoiced—has passed by.
