Industry to. ‘Smooth’ Out Troubled - Political Waters. -. Associated Press. Emerging from a yeat marked by gevolt and coups d’etat, several Latin- American nations probably will seek @ way to settle their economic dif- ficulties at: the — polls in 17931. » Some observers — they will be gided in this by an upward econorhic trend, creating in this country, a) stimulation of industry which. would give Latin America an’ increased mar- ket for its. raw materials and com- modities. | The more optimistic officials cite American economic history to show no crisis .nas lasted more than 18 months. ' Face. Same Conditions. . Méanwhile, Commerce Department statistics show the new governments in seven Latin-American states which revolted in 1930 face virtually. the. game economic conditions which dis- turbed their; predecéssors, plus the costs. of revolution. Spain—the mother country. of the Tatin Americas, and rated ad eco- nomically above the a country—also faces a Ebi ea Ny eco- nomic depresston, plus the costs of stamping out revolution.

Gen. Mariuel Orellana, elected by the assembly after a coup d'etat, holds office as presidential designate until President Lazaro Chacon, who retired with a cerebral hemorrhage, is able to resume his duties or be- comes definitely incapacitated. In the latter case the Guatemalan constitution provides for election of another designate who would call im- mediately for presidential elections. / Recognition Is Withheld. | Meanwhile,-the five central Ameri- ean countries. and the United States are bound by the treaty of peace and amity of 1926 to withhold recogni- tion from any Central American gov- ernment installed by revolution - or coup d'etat, The State Department proposes a thorough study of Orel- jlana’s installation. In the other two Latin American countries which saw revolt during the year, the smoke of battle cleared away early and constitutional elections placed two new presidents in power. They are President Stenio Vincent, of Haiti, and President Rafael Trujillo, of the Domimican~republic. Both have pledged their administrations to cooperation with the other Americas in the general uphill climb to eco- nomic readjustment. _ Cuba, Chile, Ecuador and Venezuela experienced evolutionary tremors. President Machado, of Cuba, quelled sporadic outburst by the opposition Nacionalista group and student riots during the last half of the year, Con- stitutional guarantees have been sus- pended for the time being in Cuba to permit the president to deal vigor- ously with an unruly situation. ‘Ibanet Misses Assassination.

I didn't see him raise the gun, or hear him say anything when the explosion came. Through the smoke, I saw Hall fall forward. Mullen was on his knees trying to raise him and sob- bing: “My God!

OLIVE BRANCH OFFER REJECTED BY HOWELL G. 0. P. Leader Says He Has! No Quarrel With Borah or Any Other Senator. By CARLISLE BARGERON. In keeping with the season's spirit, the warring Republicans yesterday held their statement activities down to what might be termed desultory firing. Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national commit- tee, who ostensibly is making a one- man fight on Senator Norris, issued one statement, tendering’ the olive branch to the other Progressives or rather saying he had no quarrel with any of them save Mr. Norris, which was in a sense rejected in a later statement from Senator Howell, of Nebraska. Then Mr. Lucas issued another statement in the way of saying “and another thing,” and that was that President Hoover had nothing to do with the controversy; that he, Mr. Lucas, was an employe of the Re- publican national committee. Then, realizing that he had left out Senator Borah in his earlier statement, he said he had no quarrel with him either. Miles Away at Time. It is perhaps one of the phenomena. of politics that, all the time these statements were coming from Mr. Lucas’ mimeograph, he was either en route to or in Louisville. According to the Associated Press, he arrived there at 1:45 o’clock in the afternoon and was greeted by an admiring 300 or sO who were very proud of the Kentucky boy who went tothe city and made good. Witha], it was what an official communique would call a quiet may on the Republican front. Both of Mr. Lucas’ stdtements, or rather thosecredited to him, might be called significant. In his frst one he laid down his rule of Repub- licanism that the party’s presidential candidate must be supported in the election. This, Senator Norris did not do. “I have, of course, noted the criti- cism directed at me by Senators Cut- ting, Howell and Nye, because of the support I gave the anti-Norris Re- publicans of Nebraska in the recent campaign,” he said No. Quarrel, He Asserts. “I wish to say I have no quarrel with either of these senators, nor with any other senator who affiliates himself with the Republican party. With the exception of Senator Norris, they all supported the Republican party and its nominees in 1928. “Senator Norris, on the other hand, is in a class by himself.

He gained that evérlasting title not by the use of any material force but by demonstrating the moral and spiritual power of mankind. Christmas represents love and mercy. It was ushered in by the star of hope and remains forever consecrated by the sacrifice of the cross. Christmas holds its place in the hearts of men because they know that love is the greatest thing in the world.

Senate Republican independents, and some Democrats, are demanding reconsideration of ‘the votes by which three commissioners were confirmed as a result of the commission's dis- missal of Solicitor Charles A. Russell, Chief Engineer William V. King and FP. E. Eonner, executive secretary. Administration senators are plan- ning to oppose this movement by arguing the new commissioners should be let alone and given full responsibility. Meanwhile it was reported the commissioners were planning to re- instate King and Russell. Some of those advocating reconsideration of the confirmations indicated, however, this would not change their plans, be- cause they contend the members of the commission showed “the wrong mental attitude” in dismissing the two employes. Chairman Smith and Commissioner Garsaud, two of those under criticism from the independent senators, called yesterday on Chairman Couzens, of the interstate commerce committee, but Couzens declined to say what was iscussed. Smith said he had told the senator that Bonner, Russell and King had been ousted on the same basis.

Patrolman G. H. Chrisman of No. 7 Police Precinct, attached to. the Reserve Squad at the No. 3 Pre- cinct, made the rescue, after having been informed that Mr. Lud- low was in his apartment and un- able to get out. Mr. Ludlow was given first aid treatment and allowed to remain at home. He has been confined to his room sometime on account of illness. The fire, said to have been start- ed by an overheated furnace, de- stroyed the interior of a four-story prick building at 2022 G_ street northwest. It was discovered about 3 o’clock when a passerby noticed smoke pour- ing from the windows of the build- ing and turned in an alarm. Firemen upon arriving and seeing the smoke-screened building, sent in additional alarms as a precautionary measure. The bullding, used for classrooms of George Washington University and also by the Phi Beta Phi and Phi Sigma. Sigma sororities, was unoc- cupied at the time. A crowd of sev- eral hundred persons were attracted to the scene. Apparatus on their way to the fire were slowed down by heavy traffic which was clogging the downtown streets, due to the late Christmas shoppers. Patrolman Chrisman was the hero of a fire several months ago when he entered a burning apartment house on Chapin street, near Fourteenth street northwest, and secured a num- ber of personal possessions of a woman who occupied a sixth-floor apartment. The damage was estimated at more than $1,000. Sounds of Exceeding Joy Ring Again in City of David Tradition And Rites of First Christmas live Once More in Bethlehem at Exact Spot Where Christ Child Was Born. Bethlehem, Palestine, Christmas Morn (AP.)-—This little city of David, which is called Bethlehem, rang again today with sounds of ex- ceeding joy of adoration of the new- born King. In the Church of the Nativity. which, according to tradition, stands on the site Sf Christ's humble birthplace, midnight mass was cele- brated with ritualistic pomp and splendor. Hundreds filled the great edifice which replaces the little shed where Mary and Joseph sought shel- ter after they had been turned away from the inn. Others overflowed in the surrounding fields where shep- the king, when Joseph and Mary came out of Galilee to pay the tax that Caesar Augustus levied on all the world. As the service continued the choir from the Cathedral in nearby Jeru- salem sang carols in the field of the shepherds outside.

WILL DISCUSS MARRIAGE Vatican City, Dec. 24 (A.P.).—A plea for better relations among the Classes as a remedy for the world problem of unemployment was made by Pope Pius in his Christmas Eve message today. “Better social and international ad- justment, inspired by greater justice and Christian charity” will relieve the unemployment crisis which is taking “labor and bread from so many fami- lies,” the pontiff told the assembled college of cardinals. This, he said, could be accomplished without overturning the order estab- lished by Providence, and would make possible among all peoples a fraternal collaboration, instead of “strife and competition, harmful and sooner or later disastrous.” It would be difficult, however, the Popé warned, for internal peace of “intelligence and hearts” to reign and endure “if the strong motives of contrast are made to arise and continue among citizens and social classes from the unequal distribu- tion and proportion of advantages |. and burdens.” Urges World Peace. The pontiff declared this coopera- tive harmony must be made the basis of relations between nations also. It would be difficult, if not im- possible, for peace to reign, he warned, “tf in place of a legue of genuine love of country there reigned an egoistic and inflexible nationalism —that is to say, hate and envy in place of mutual desire of good; dif- fidence and suspicion instead of con- cord and cooperation; ambitions of hegemony and domination instead of respect for, and the safeguarding of, all rights, especially those of the small and weak.” While the whole world still feels the consequences of the great war, the Pope said he could not believe any state could be so homicidal and even: suicidal as to wish to start a new war. He pronounced his wishes for “that peace which angels at Christmas an- nounced to the earth in Christ's name. It should be the real peace of Christ and not a confused and indis- tinct sentiment of pacifism, because the only real peace is that which comes from God, the only one cap- able of giving this precious and en- during fruit.” To Discuss Marriage. The pontiff again expressed his ob- jection to Protestant missionary ac- tivity in Italy, especially in Rome, | where he said propaganda was being | circulated in violation of Lateran | treaties, which expressly safeguarded “Rome's sacred character.” The pontiff said he was pained and grieved to see “even more intense and ‘vast and impudent Protestant propaganda, sometimes open and rea- | soned, sometimes subtle and deceit- ful.” This, he said, was in spite of a law which, while it gave non-Cath- olics the faculty of professing their religion, did not‘allow their prose- lytizing, particularly against the, Catholic Church, which is the sole religion ‘of the Italian state. He had profound faith, he said, that it would cease in the interests of Italy herself. The Pope announced he would soon have ready an encyclical deal- ing with matrimony. He mentioned the recent marriage of King Boris of Bulgaria to the former Princess Gio- vanna, saying there were some small of belief in connection with the ceremony, for example, the er- roneous thought that the marriage had been reenacted at Sofia, when it had already taken place at. Assisi. Man Sues for $25,000 In Taxi-Truck Smash Claiming he had been injured in an accident while a passenger in a taxicab, Elmer E.

Hoovers Hosts To Children At White House Yule Party President and First Lady Give Unique Presents to At- taches While Youngsters Are Recipients of Santa Claus’ Bounty at Tree Celebration. — To use a favorite word of President Hoover, the yuletide spirit was ram- pant at the White House yesterday and last night. For one thing, the President and the First Lady gave the White House employes novel Christmas presents, to which were attached a bit of free verse. Who wrote the verse, whether it was the President op Mrs. Hoover, or maybe somebody else, was not made known, The presents were cigarette boxes and other mementoes, all carved from the ancient pine wood that was taken from the White House when the roof was repaired during the Coolidge re- gime. The verse, which tells the history of the wood, follows: “A pine tree on the hills of Maryland, through many summers’ heats and winters’ snows, Felled, carted, quartered, sawn, metamorphosis within a week. then a century buried deep within the White House walls— unseen, unsung, but one of myriads of myriads holding firm together the storied structure. And “Unbtil—a new age came and replaced steel for wood. Then months upon the dump. The dump cart actually arrived for one last ride— And then a rescue. Now here I rest upon your desk for a short space; until—the waste basket and the fire. Then once again I’ll go—free smoke before free wind—to touch again the hills of Maryland.” Little children held sway at the White House last night. The central figures were the three grandchildren of the President and Mrs. Hoover— Peggy Ann Hoover, 4%; Herbert Hoover 3d, not quite three, and Joan Hoover, the baby. These three, whose father, Herbert Hoover, jr., is convalescent at Ashe- ville, N. C., had as their guests the children of the President’s secretaries and aids and those of one Cabinet couple—Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley. The party was held in the state | George Akerson and Walter Newton, dining room, which had been bril- liantly decorated for the occasion. The First Lady herself had directed the setting up and the decorating of the tree, which gleamed with lights and tinseled presents. The Christmas party, which Mrs. Hoover had planned, consisted of a turkey feast, a “Parade of the Tin Soldiers,” the exchange of presents and the usual romping and tooting of horns that attends Christmas par- ties throughout the land. In the ‘“‘Parade of the Tin Soldiers,” the President, holding a candle, took the lead, and the children fell in be- hind him. Then followed a parade through the mansion, the object of which was to locate Santa Claus. That he was found goes without say- ing. The grown-up guests were there as the guests of their children. Thus, the President’s secretaries, were there simply because they had been invited by their eldest sons—George Aker- son, jr.. and Marshall Newton. Other children present were Pred and Charlie Akerson, French Stro- ther, jr., son of French Strother, the President's literary secretary; Suzanne Boone, daughter of Capt. Joel T. Boone, and Patricia, Ruth and Wil- son Hufley, children of Secretary and Mrs. Hurley. Two of the Hurley children, Pa- tricia, 10, and Wilson, 6, were in somewhat of a quandary earlier in the day. Patricia was cynical. She had heard from a school chum that Santa Claus was a myth, and she so told her parents. The parents, however, en- tered into some sort of a bargain with her, and the result was that she agreed to keep her thoughts to her- selk. The Hurley boys, on the other hand, was plagued by another puzzle. “Didn’t you say there was only one Santa Claus?” he asked his parents. “Yes,” was the reply. “Well, how was it,” he asked, “that I saw three of them on the street today?” This threw the parents, but it didn’t. interfere with the youngster's having a good time last night.

Y., Dec. 24 (A.P.).— Four prisoners, ‘all short term men, escaped early tonight from the East- view Penitentiary ne@r here. Those who escaped were: Peter Reynolds, 30, Yonkers; Ames Clark, 30, Newark; William Rapp, 36, Linden, N. J., and Charies Strico, 26, New York. The 225 prisoners at Eastview, which adjoins the Rockefeller Estate, are not locked in their cells ordinarily until 8 p. m, Tonight they had the freedom of the corridors as usual. The four men made their way to the prison doctor’s office, where they sawed their way through the only bars that stood between them and freedom. The prison doctor's office is on the ground floor adjoining the lower cell block. The men watched their op- portunity and slipped into the office, which was unoccupied tonight. They had been provided with saws, Officials stated, and presently had severed the bars that stood between them and the spreading lawns of the institution. It was a simple matter to step into the yard and dash to liberty. The quartet left a clear trail through three or four inches of new snow, however, over which posses of guards took up the hunt as soon as the break was discovered. The footprints led away to the northward along the western fringe of the Pocantico Hills estate of John D. Rockefeller. Eastview is the only property in the whole neighborhood which the Standard Oil millionaire has not acquired for his estate. Christmas Eve jollity in the prison was rudely shattered when the break was discovered. The prisoners were ordered to their cells and a search of the place for weapons and other articles which might aid in an escape was undertaken. 9,883 Jews Reported As Palestine Arrivals London, Dec, 24 (A.P.).—The Jew- ish Telegraphic Agency learns that a total of 5,883 Jews entered Palestine during the Jewish year 5690 (October 1, 18929 to September 30, 1930).

PRESIDENT OUT OF PARTY ROW, STATEMENT BY LUCAS INSISTS ‘Continued from Page le his —— views, who remained in hy and supported its nominee in 1928, and consequently I am not disposed to reply to the criticisms made of me by them.” This tement caught the Progres- sives with only one-sentinel on duty, Senator Howell. He replied that the opposition to Norris was not limited to Nebraska Republicans, but that “the power interests and their as- sociates sought to put him on the spot, to get him from ambush, through. political assassination, if necessary.” Asserting that Lucas would not “openly father” the literature he sent into Nebraska, Howell said “he ordered it expressed anonymously.” “He warned the printer,” Howell continued, “that his name should not be divulged, and that there might be no tracer in the form of a check he paid for the literature in cash.” Huston’s Case Recalled, “How little,” he said, the transac- tion differs from that which proved former Chairman Claudius Huston’s undoi “Propriety, ethics, common sense, the good of the Republican party demand that Mr. Lucas step down and out. But he\ defiantly says ‘I won't,”, and apparently they don’t dare to put him out. What is the they sitting on a lid?” uent statement, Lu- [ees -stught. to keep: the President out of the fracas by again. insisting that “neither the President nor anyone in the ‘White House ever Had any knowledge, or were even consulted about, my action in tonnection with “Senator Norris.’’ Seeking to deal with published re- ports that the President was stand- ing by him now that the fracas has ———— he said: Technicality Pointed Out... “I was appointed by and am solely responsible to the Republican Na- tional committee.” This is, of course, technically true, but as Senator Wat- son pointed out, in effect, the Presi- dent controls the nationa* committee. Lucas’ second statement read: “In view of Senator Norris’ mali- cious statement attempting to em- barrass the President by fastening upon him the responsibility for my action, I wish to say again that neither the President nor anyone in the White House ever had any knowl- edge, or were even consulted about, my action in connection with Senator Norris. What I did was solely and emphatically upon my own responsi- bility, and I was appointed by and am solely responsible to the Repub- lican national committee. “I also notice Senator Borah’s statement this morning. There is the greatest distinction in the world be- tween Senator Borah and Senator Norris. Senator Borah has ably and consistently, supported Republican nominees for President; Senator Nor- ris has opposed them. And this is exactly the basis of my opposition t Senator Norris. I have no quaerrel with any member of the Republican party, progressives or otherwise, who supports Presidential candidates.” May Win Converts, It is possible, but not probable, that Lucas may wean away one or two of the progressives ‘with these tactics. The outlook for the immediate fu- ture, however, is that neither side will accomplish anything. If Mr. Hoover continues to ‘stand his ground, that Mr. Lucas is a matter for the national committee to déal with, which is unmistakably true,- insofar as the mechanics of the thing is concerned, the progressives can do nothing but shout after Mr. Lucas’ scalp, because the national committee will not make a move un- less. convinced Mr. Hoover wants them to. On the other hand, Mr. Lucas’ de- mand that Senator Norris be read out of the party will fall on deaf ears among the Senate regulars. Thé situation could go on forever this way were it not for the fact that the progressives have it in their pow- er to create so much chaos in the Senate that something. will simply have to be done. ? . Yet there are indications that they intend doing this anyway, and there is no reason to believe the removal of Mr. Lucas would pacify them. BETHLEHEM LIVES CHRISTMAS STORY Continued from Page 1.

SANTA LIBERAL TO POOR ARLINGTON COUNTY. BUREAU OF THE POST. Tei. Clar. 509. Clarendon, Va. The flashing of hundreds of many- hued electric lights on the huge Christmas tree in the circle on Wilson boulevard at Washington and Claren- don avenues, Clarendon, placed there by Arlington Post, No. 139, American carols b of Cherrydale, ushered yuletide season in Arlingten County last night. Stainer’s Communion Service was sung at midnight services conducted by the Rev. Henry J. Miller at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Homes of the poor of Arlington County were brightened with the ar- rival of Santa Claus armed with gifts for the little ones and large baskets filled with provisions for Christmas dinner. The baskets and other gifts were made possible through cooperation of the county churches, business men and fraternal organizations. The bas- kets were delivered in a truck and two automobiles, under supervision of Mrs. Mae E. Jacobs, superintendent of the public welfare board. Members of the Ballston Elan, No. 6, met on their field in Ballston at Wilson boulevard and Clements ave- nue and under the blaze of a huge illuminated cross toured the county, visiting more than 75 homes, and leaving large baskets filled with toys, clothing and food for Christmas. Completing their work, the Klans- men met in various sections of the county and at a late hour ushered in the yuletide by setting up more than 25 huge firey crosses. G. Prank Allwine, of the Jefferson District Fire Department, was elected president of the Arlington, Fairfax Volunteer Firemen’s Association at its annual meeting last night in the Ballston firemen’s hall. Other of- ficers elected were: John A. Dawkins, Arlington fire department, secretary- treasurer; Edwin B. Chapman, Cher- rydale fire department, treasurer of the relief fund; Albert C, Scheffel. Arlington fire department, county fire marshal. The association went on record as opposed to the appointment of a county fire chief by the board of supervisors-at this time. Strong in- dorsement was given the plan to in- stall a general fire-alarm switchboard. A check for $500 was received from the association auxiliary as its gift to the firemen’s relief fund from the recent carnival. A rising vote of thanks was given women. Edwin B. Chapman, chairman in charge of the arrangements for the annual memorial services for fire- men, announced the services would be conducted Sunday afternoon, Jan- uary 4, at the Cherrydale Methodist Protestant urch, by the Rev. John A. Trador. Harold M. Brown will di- rect the music. With the closing of the county schools, Deputy Sheriff Archie Rich- ards, who, this year, has directed traffic in front of the Woodrow Wil- son School at Bort.

Thursday, December 25, 1930. me - THE ONLY HONEST MAN. — if Sertain senators who wish to retain a Couple of subordinates in the Federal Power Commission are up in arms be- cause the new commission has dismissed hese agents. It is now proposed to re- tonsider the vote by which the commis- ioners were confirmed, in order to un- seat them. * Evidently the new commission wishes carry on its work solely in the public nterest, unhampered by squabbling and riction among subordinates. This licy does not suit senators who wish fe control the commission, dictate its flecisions, and prevent it from reaching ependent conclusions and decisions. Here is an opportunity for Mr. Hoo- er to assert his authority as President ff the Unifed States. :| It may be that a combination of sen- ators can be formed to nullify the con- irmation of the new commissioners. uch a combination was successful last tear in bringing about the rejection of iominees. It was unsuccessful in at- ing Charles E. Hughes, nominated be Chief Justice of the United States, ——— exports Sor” ‘the year. will surpass the five-year average in volume. The decline in total value of exports may be accounted for largely by the decrease in iithough eleven renegade SR apublidans joined many Democrats in the attempt. Among those who voted to reject Mr. | ughes was that sole repository of pub- iieehonesty, Mr. Norris, of Nebraska. He could not trust Mr. Hughes. Whe law creating the new Federal ower Commission gives the commis- loners some authority, but the senators no now find that they can not use the mmission for their own purposes are satisfied with the arrangement. They m not change the law, but they hope ¥retain a hold upon the commission by preventing the appointment of any com- Issioner who is not subservient to feir will. : ‘The Senate would present a sorry ppectacle to the country, indeed, if it should now unseat commissioners whose only crime is that they refuse to take orders from a coterie of senators. 4J ‘The virtuous Senator. Norris an- pounces that the commissioners would ot have been confirmed if it had been nown that they would dismiss the sub- inates in. question. What the sen- tor from Nebraska desires, evidently, s'a Federal Power Commission. which will take orders from the only honest man in the United States. Mr. Norris as strongly hinted that President Hoo- Wer is a tool of the “power trust.” So r. Hoover can not be trusted, and, of ourse, his nominations to public office are presumptively corrupt. Didn’t he hame Charles E. Hughes to be Chief ustice of the United States and actu- get away with it? A few renegades and Democrats will gsist Senator Norris in the attempt to revent the creation of an independent federal Power Commission. So long as they cooperate with him they will be djudged honest by him—tolerably hon- it, sufficiently so to associate with im. But if they should fall victims t6 the hallucination that there is any onor in the President of the United tates, and be disposed to support the resident’s nominees, they will become uspects also, and the country will then eive that, after all, there is only one imon-pure honest man in the country. : his great truth will come out, in spite if all detraction. It will be announced by none other than the honest man him- elf. ; + FOREIGN COMMERCE GROWING. Smprovement of the foreign trade situation nay be noted from several. quarters. Ameri- exports of manufactured goods, accord- to an analysis by the United States Cham- of Commerce, were only 4 per cent be- the five-year average during the third -@ularter of 1930. These figures are based on JF alue. Since prices have declined radically | the last year it is — that man- ose sa — Se Sek price and smaller purchases of raw materials and luxuries. ‘This total is only 17 per cent lower than the five-year average, however, and commodity prices have declined nearly that much. The Chamber of Commerce notes a decided improvement of international trade during the last months of the third quarter, A recent statement by Senator Smoot, chairman of the finance ¢ommittee, showed that imports ‘have been making steady gains ever since the tariff law was enacted. Im- ports make a better showing than exports, apparently because the purchasing power of America has been maintained better than that of any other country. Foreign commerce will regain its lost mo- mentum as soon as the normal purchasing power of the world has been restored. The fact that commerce is now gaining in volume contributes to the hope that the worst of the depression is over. Since the position of American industry has been strengthened in its home market and the country is making an effort to build up a strong merchant marine, the United States has excellent prospects of extending its ‘ foreign-commerce. Before the effects of the depression have disappeared the volume of exports and imports may exceed that for the record year of 1929. THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORSHIP. The “revelations” emanating from Wash- ington which have resulted in flaring head- lines announcing that “Davis Campaign Cost $640,000," and intimating that as much as $1,000,000 may have been expended in the primary and election campaign of Senator Davis, of Pennsylvania, are so palpably ab- surd that they call for correction or denial by the Nye committee. No political opponent of Senator Davis has been guilty of making statements of this gross and libelous character. The funds contributed to the campaigns in Pennsylvania were applied to the entire ticket, except when contributors directed otherwise. The ticket carried candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, 36 members of Congress, 28 State senators,-250 members of the State House of Representatives, and more than 8,000 committeemen. Some of the contributions were made on the proviso that “none of this donation shall be used spe- cifically to aid the candidacy of James J. Davis.” The Nye committee hearings show that contributions by Secretary Mellon and others were earmarked exclusively for pro- motion of the candidacy of Francis Shunk Brown for governor, It was common knowledge both in and out of Pennsylvania that Senator Davis’ election was a foregone conclusion. There was no necessity for the expenditure of large sums, of money in advertising his candidacy. The struggle did not center about the senatorship. Some of the most intense battles, in which considerable money was expended, involved local committee places. What is the purpose of misleading reports | in connection with the Pennsylvania senator- ship? MUSCLE ,SHOALS QUACKERY. Efforts to bring about a compromise on Muscle Shoals apparently have failed. Since Congress reassembled the House conferees have been energetic in trying to promote an agreement that would.be acceptable to both branches of Congress and to President Hoover. But the Senate delegation remains adamant. So the issue remains at a dead- lock as hopeless as ever before, The Norris resolution passed by the Senate would create a corporation to put the Gov- ernment in the power business. It would authorize this corporation to construct trans- mission lines and engage in competition with private interests in the power business. Pro- duction of materials for national defense and fertilizer, for which the huge plants at Muscle Shoals were built, would be sacrificed to the Government’s power operations. The plain intent of this bill is not to make economical use of the nitrate plants, but to launch a so— cialistic project with a view to Government operation of the power industry. On the other hand, the House bill provides for lease of the plants, and sale of only such power as is not needed in operation of the nitrate plants. This bill is an attempt to make use of the Muscle Shoals project in a legitimate way without putting the Govern- ment into business. It would insure the manufacture of nitrate’ for the benefit of agriculture and for national defense, as was originally intended by Congress. In its effort to dispose of the issue the House conferees offered the Senate a liberal compromise. They drew up a substitute bill, providing that the Government operate the dam and power generating facilities; that the Government lease the nitrate plants, mak- ing liberal provisions for the manufacture of fertilizer, &c.; that the Government sell power at the switchboard, giving preference to States, counties and municipalities; and that the Government build Cove Creek stor- age dam. The House conferees have con- ceded almost everything, except the right of the Government to build power transmission lines in competition with private enterprise. This proposed compromise concedes most of the demands of the Senate. Nevertheless, the Senate refuses to yield. Senator Norris, author of the Senate’s pro- posed venture in socialism, has brought forth a ridiculous “compromise” of his own. Without changing any essential feature of his bill, he would allow the Government a six-months’ period in which to lease the nk trate plants, providing that they be subject to ‘ean not be found. dent. quackery in an effort to dispose of the issue. by.

If the Republican party in the House violates the pledge it made to the American people in its last national plat- form it will be made ridiculous before the whole country, and the President will have another opportunity to score a popular vic- tory over Congress. ti EEE CHEAP BOOKS. A few months ago a group of publishing firms announced plans to reduce the price of books, - Their project. attracted widespread interest. Educators were enthusiastic over the prospect of getting a better class of lit- erature before the public at very moderate cost. In some quarters a revolution in the publishing business was forecast. After a brief trial it appears that the cheap. book scheme is not a success. The public has not responded as was expected. Some- how there is still-a preference for books that cost $2.50 or more, on the assumption that they are worth something. Apparently the $1 books are suspected of inferiority, If this attitude on the part of the public persists it will probably mean the failure of the cheap book distribution scheme. It is obvious that one group of publishing houses can not sell books of high quality at less than half the price that is received by the majority of publishers for a similar quality of litera- ture. The cheap book venture depends upon mass production and distribution for its suc- cess. If the public shows no marked prefer- ence for the $1: books their fate seems to be sealed. It is possible, however, that the public has not been sufficiently acquainted with the $1 book plan. It has been in operation for only a few months. That is hardly enough time to allow for people to change their habits in buying books. It is safe to assume that many millions of Americans who are interested in the purchase of books know nothing of the plan. Regardless of what sales have been to date, the venture can hardly be called a failure until a complete test breaks it down. The experiment is particularly interest- ing because of what it reveals as to choice of literature in America. Do people judge the value of a book by what it costs? Do the name of the author and the title of the’ book mean less than the price? Does a per- son get more enjoyment out of reading a $5 book than a $1 book? The literary man* may throw up his hands ig horror at these sug- gestions, but the business man can not ig- nore them. The ultimate success of the cheap book venture seems to hinge on how the public answers these queries. By FLETCHER PRATT, in Naval Institute Proceedings, “These admirals of mine,’”’ said Napoleon Nin a moment of not unjustifiable irritation over the rat-chased-by-a-cat strategy of Linois and Missiessy, ‘These admirals of mine have discovered something new. They have found out that war can be made without running risks.’”’ This diseovery is one of the hardy peren- nials of maval warfare. Among the French admirals it took the unusual form of a new brand of strategy; but it mote often appears as a new and fearful warship, which shall sweep the navies of the world into the scrap heap at a blow. Needless to say, it is gen- erally a landsman who makes the discovery, Most of these great ideas have died im the paper stage (if you believe the inventors, be- cause of the machinations of rivals), but every so often one gets itself worked up into an actual, visible warship, another of those astonishing monstrosities which, per- haps more than anything else, demonstrate the vagaries of which the human intelligence is capable. Right at the beginning it is worth while admitting that freak warships sometimes succeed. The monitor was a freak; Holland No. 9 was a freak; so was the Dreadnought and (to go back) the Constant Warwick, first of frigates. The answer is that in this study, mecessarily brief, we shall draw a wholly invidious distinction between freak ships that have succeeded and those that have failed, and confine our attention to the latter. The ,successes have left obvious marks on naval construction of today; it is only when we say that the failures also have interest and importance that we get into a region where proof is required. Ptolemy Philopator of Egypt, with one of the finest navies of the ancient world, built the first freak—or rather his ministers built it, since he was too fond of the wine cup and the harem to give serious attention to any- thing else. A naval architect named Pyrgo- teles seems to have been behind it. The ordinary battleship of the age was the quin- quireme, with five banks of oars. Demetrius the Besieger had built an eleven-bank mon- ster (which was. duly captured in its first engagement) and in Rhodes and” Phoenicia ships nearly as large had.been produced. Pyrgoteles’ idea was to outdo all other navies at one fell swoop by constructing a ship with 30 banks of oars, one above the other, which should be immune to attack from her very size, and should crush all opposition by her very weight. His ship was, we'are told, 480 feet in length, had a beam of 57 feet, and towered 72 feet up from the water’s edge. It took 4,000 rowers to move the vessel, those in the upper banks handling counterbalanced oars nearly 90 feet in length. Like other ships in ancient times, she was built on land. Now it was a job to get the ordinary quinquireme to water, even with un- limited slave labor, and for this giant it ap- peared a flat impossibility. “By an exercise of ingenuity worthy of admiration even in ‘ FREAK WARSHIPS accomplished it. He dug under the huge ship a trench, making a small section at a time, and carrying the weight of the ship on crossbeams supported by piles. As the trench became deep enough the piles were replaced with stone pillars. The end of the trench was provided with a lock gate; when it was complete a channel was dug to the ocean and the big ship warped out. Naturak ly, she could not be hauled up on shore at the end of a cruise, like*other ancient war vessels, so she was brought back to the place of her construction, floated in, the lock gate closed and the water pumped out—thus leav- ing her in the first dry dock on record. this mechanical age, an unnamed Phoenician —* mn . 3 : a? * Wg “THOU) Bin, Oca iy dh ok ce. aia Bie Mit AP Seyi —— i> pollens —J— — es [true issue—that. of the Government going citizens—would be accentuated, With the ad- {| * Tey a : “8 ; *** al 4 4 * SHAY. >. % _> — * 8 < — —Cincinnati Enquirer. — SHORT CIRCUITS.

It is difficult to sey what part of the machine Mr. Broun should obtain first—a muffler or a rear bumper. TRACING THE BULLET TO THE GUN. Testimony and evidence offered in a current trial in Brooklyn, the Sum- ner murder case, bring the reminder of the possibility of identifying bul- lets fired from a certain pistol as means for the conviction of a crim- inal. In connection with the efforts made to obtain and to prevent the pardon- ing of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massa- chusetts several bullet experts the Brooklyn Eagle. One expert found that the murder bullet in that case had been fired from e-gun in the possession of one of the defend- ants. To what extent that finding influenced the disposal of the case one can not easily determine, but in any event the effect was upon the proceedings subsequent to the trial itself. Disputed handwriting, the telltale fingerprints so prominent in fiction and all like means of identification requiring the estimation of experts have much in common. The atti- tude of the public toward their as- serted power for conviction is in gradual process of formation. And as the public feels about such things, will juries f so in great measure also.

The senator been mak- ing chargeé to this and pro- eel | fessing to be greatly shocked at such conduct on the part of the regular organization. But, why ould the senator object? As a mat of fact, what right has he to be running-in a Republican primary, anyway? The: only time he makes any pretense of being a Republican is when he wants to get on the Republican ballot in an election. Between times, he boasts of his independence, and practices it with a vengeance. He stumped Penn- sylvania against the Republican can- didate for senator. He bolted Hoover and supported Smith in 1928. He has opposed Hoover on almost every pol- icy, as he has opposed policies of for- mer Republican Presidents. Just why a chronic insurgent, a man wiio knifes his party at every opportunity, should feel hurt when he fails to reeaive regular support in his cam- paign for reelection, isn’t quite clear.

Cutting across the interests and the loyalties of all three of these factions, still further complicating the out- look for the Republican party in 1932, is the dominant and disturbing issue of prohibition. “Jobs” in Sight. Indianapolis News. That $700,000,000 of Federal money to be spent on public works next year will give many a fellow a job, and (Copyright, 1930.) probably not a few fellows a “job,” | —* Ss ee YY Mr. Legge Goes Heflin. New York,Herald Tribune. In filing his first accounting of the expenditures of the Federal Farm Board, on Thursday, Alexander Legge, chairman of that organization, took occasion to urge upon Congress the need for “strict governmental regula- tion of all exchanges dealing in agri- cultural commodities.” “At present,” Mr, Legge declares, “exchange rules and regulations are built D by the traders ‘themselves. They } not in the intereste/ of the producers or the consumers.” How far from sound ¢oncepts Mr. Legge’s wanderings over the last year and a half in the maze of “farm re- Heft” have carried him is eloquently revealed in the above observation. His threat to impose Government reg-| ulation on commodity exchanges is nothing less than a manifestation of bureaucratic irritation over the fail- ure of his program thus far. Bureau- cracy, is following its traditional course. When milder measures fail because of fundamental unsoundness, the next step is the imposition of more vigorous methods. Unable to bring about commodity stabilization through the support of the United States Treasury, Mr. Legge now pro- poses to invoke governmentel despot- ism in his mad cause. Charging Of Of Bad Debts. _ Philadelphia Public Ledger.. There is a widespread feeling among Republicans that this threatened open split in the party had to come some time. Every business man reaches the point where he has to charge off bad debts. The insurgents ate party lia- bilities, net sane, E ‘ Republican for for Offies Sake. New York Times. remembefed as a statistical fact that in normal times America generally counts 500,000 workers among the un- * employed, but they are not out of }-.. .. |employment from necessity. gx ra The “slump” is a condition that must right itself by the natural law of consumption and production. Quot- in ——— overproduction existed before the business depression began and agriculture’s difficulties are at- tributable to conditions outside agri- cultural industry.” from Secretary Hyde's report, One may speak specifically, because in some States there has been an in- creased valuation of property which has hit the farm owners disastrously with Wn increase of taxes. Officials have increased their own salaries to meet “living costs.” In some States new penalties for nonpayment of taxes have been put upon the statute books, For example, in the State of Pennsylvania the first tex penalty goes on a few months after the first tax notice is sent gut, then two a second penalty is assessed and after six months the property may be sold for taxes. e sheriffs’ sales of prop- erty make a longer list in the present pusiness slump than ever before. It is a mighty gesture to give many millions for drought relief. It is most commendable spirit of generous ‘and emotional charity, but there is something else to consider, and that is the dispensing and distribution of this wonderful sum of money. Will there be an.accounting of who are the beneficiaries? Will each State, each district, each county and town- ship be’ tabulated and reported when + benefits in the distribution? These are natural questions from the public, because it is taxpayers’ money that is to be given out. It is the opinion of many economists that the farmer can pull through without a dole and if he will stick to his old program and his forefather’s program of industry and thrift and turn his back on meddling politicians hé will come out ahead of every other industry. PENNSYLVANIA FARMER. Gorgeous Dream n of Unemployment Banished by Busy Nation Meking Beer. To the Editor of The Post—Sir: If the Voistead law were to be amended, permitting the sale and use of beer, it would mean the employing of 100,- 000 carpenters, bricklayers and labor- ers to buiki and refit breweries. Also 50,000 brewery truck drivers, helpers, vatmen aud coppersmiths would have to be hired. Spray equip- ment manufacturers w immedir ately hire 20,000 men to make bar- rel painting machines and” 100,000 printers would be put to work print- ing beer labels. It would also be necessary for bottle, works and barrel makers to engage thousands more, bee sides the great number of bookkeep- men who would find ready work. Instead of the farmers remaining in the city seeking employment, ‘they would return to their farms to- till the soll and raise hops and barley, which would be in great demand. The price of grain and produce would take a leap, which would give the farmer the first real break that he fas had in years.

To the Editor of The Post—Sir: It is well-nigh impossible to estimate the number of years cut from the =jlives of our most illustrious exect- ‘tives by the presidential work. In re-. cent years the toll has been appalling. Wilson and Harding are notable ex- amples, typical of the ever-increasing strain placed on the shoulders of the President. Every one knows, or should know, what happened to them, and every one should know that Pres- ident Hoover is going through a pe- riod of greater internal unrest and discontent than the Nation has ever jencountered. Hoover is pacing the White House floors at night, just as did Lincoln, in an effort to discover a eee oe oe ee, trouble. Therefore, duty to our country, our -homes, our fellow men, demands that we give our Government support, our utmost support, in its efforts to solve the mighty problems that face it to- for just such a time the one man trained to cope with the conditions.

Your Name WHAT DOES IT MEAN? By HARRY A. DEFERRARI, Ph. D. HE family name “Barnum” is of 1 English origin, being a variation of the earlier “Barnham.” e “corrupt” or modernized spelling “Barnum” is almost wholly confined to the United States and Canada. “Barnham” has come down to us from two sources. In most cases it stands for the old English “bern- hamm,” which may be translated “the estate or land near the barn.” Some- times it means “he who lives at the estate of Boerna.” “Boerna” was an old English personal name meaning “the warrior.” Many families which bear this name have received it be- cause of a former residence in one of the several English villages named Barnham. A certain Willelmus Bar- nom is mentioned in an English doc- ument of the year 1379. The Hun- dred Rolls (1273) mentions a certain Simon de Bernham and a Walter de Bernham. The family name “Ringling” (also spelled “Ringeling’”) is one of the several modern forms of the Ger- manic “Hringilo.” ‘“Hringilo” was an old Germanic personal name meaning “The little ring.” It may refer to the small rings used in con- structing ancient coats or mail, or, in some cases, it may suggest the rings or circles which were marked out on a battlefield as the scene of a special combat. In “Ringling,” as is the case generally in. Germanic names, the ending “ing” means “the descendant of.” Thus, the full significance of “Ringling” is “the descendant of the little ring.” The family name “Tardieu” is a southern French form of the northern “Tardif.” These names mean “late” and “tardy,” and were first given as nicknames.

(Bureau of Standards.) ‘To increase the amount of heat open drafts which let the air into the ash pit and with soft coal and wood when fresh fuel has been added admit some air by draft immediately over the fire to help burn the combustible gases coming from the fresh fuel. For all fires without flame keep this draft closed. To decrease the amount of heat close all drafts tight (being sure that _the ash-pit door and drafts particu- ‘larly are tight and that the ash pit _itself is free from air leaks), and if | this is not sufficient open a draft check draft in the smoke pipe (never the one in the firedoor, or the door itself, as this. practice is wasteful of fuel.) To insure economy of fuel see that all flues and surfaces which the hot @ases pass on their way to the chim- ney are cleaned every two or three weeks. Be very careful in the use of the damper which closes off the smoke pipe, as such damper is dangerous if closed too tightly and can be left wide open or taken out entirely pro- vided the ash pit is tight and the above directions are followed. Keep the direct draft in a cooking stove or range closed except in hot weather, or when starting a fire. tii: st mal FINESSING TO OBTAIN AN ENTRY. his the white-whiskered saint; but when he saw his dummy, that pleasant il- lusion might be dispelled.

This would require too long an ex- planation for this column. The an- swer to your question involves 4 knowledge of structural botany. For this, read Grey’s Botany, the first few chapters of which treat on this sub- ject. The male fern is an example of a plant, and in the case of the begonia we find on certain varieties a male and female flower on the same plant. Why do apparently good dahlia plants fail to bloom? A SUBURBAN GARDENER. This is generally caused by climatic or cultural conditions, which cause the flower buds to blast in the form- ing, or damaged by insects. How can I lighten soil? I feel sure some of my failures are due to too heavy a soil. JOHN K. P. Plow or work in stable manure in the fall or use sifted coal ashes, sand or granulated peat moss. Please tell me how to enrich sea- shore sand. I live near the ocean in the summer and try, or rather am trying to establish a garden. H. G. Get good loam, sod or top soil, add manure and fertilizer. Sow with rye in the fall, dig under in April and sow in oats, spade that under in May. Some people feel that it is not neces- sary to use the oats, but if you have time to devote to gardening, I think it pays. * Is the hugonis rose hardy in this locality? ALICE R. T.

EAR FRANCES M’DONALD:- For D over two years I° have been reading your answers and been fascinated at the soundness of your counsel, but it never occurred to me that some day I would suddenly have need of your advice. But that day has come. I have been married 26 years. Un- til last summer my husband was de- yotion itself: ‘Then he became infat- uated with a very young girl in his employ. Her parents can neither read nor write and she has neither am- bition nor mentality. I had tried to interest her in school and study, to no avail. She is, however, pretty in an,unintelligent way. Whatever pos- sessed a man of standing and fre- spected by all who knew him to act as he has, is beyond me to under- stand. But he has been this girl out riding every night and on long day trips, starting in the early morning and returning after 10 at night. I have remonstrated with him and so has our son. He has countered with charges of un-Christian suspi- cions on our part, That silenced me. But it has not silenced the Commu- nity in which we live and in which we play an outstanding part—as his position is one of prominence. 1 have now heard rumors that his be- havior has reached certain quarters where it may mean his position. What can I do? I am a Christian woman. I have been his wife forse26 years. I am not foul-minded, but I know that he can hardly wait to|' finish dinner in his rush to get out in the car with her. He has often denied being with her, but has been seen by friends who mentioned it. You are experienced. Do yot believe it possible for a man to be constant- ly alone with a girl who permits Wives of Tomorrow FRANCES M’DONALD liberties, and be justified in telling others they are suspicious when they suggest the impropriety of his con- duct? And under the circumstances, should I tell him that I have heard that he is to be watched and possibly dismissed? This would be real trag- edy for all of us. Yet he must know that he is taking this risk, as. all the employes are discussing his behavior among themselves—even the chil- dren, Here is the terrible part. The girl is only 15 years old, but when she sees me she tosses her head and acts very bold. Have you ever known of such a case? Are we all crazy? Or is he? And what of the girl? Tell a -distracted woman what to think and what to do. Is he innocent? Is he to losa_position, respect at his age on mere appearance of evil or is he de- serving of it all? I have witnessed with my own eyes the improper be- havior of which I spoke. What do you make of it? PAIR-MINDED. Your husband is impairing the morals of a minor and not only should he be removed from his posi- tion but should be turned over to the authorities. Far from being deceived by his comments upon your un- your ground and tell him plainly exactly where he would stand in the eyes of the law. Regardless of what you may believe concerning his im- peccable past, it is our humble opin- ion that he is merely more open in his activities and that he is and al- Ways has been a menace to any de- cent community or business. Issue an ultimatum and stand by it. Tell him if he ever is alone with the girl again you will take the steps his conduct justifies. You can not be too severe or too emphatic. He is an unscrupulous reprobate and will end his days in a prison cell if the law takes a hand in his affairs. SHOW GIRL And All’s Well! By J. P. McEvoy and J. H.

Hollywood—Bianca Costejon’s green éyes and blonde hair and desire to be an actress were inherited from her grandmother. And with her arrival from Spain to appear in Hollywood- made movies she has taken her grandm other's name and become Blanca Loti... Although only 21, Bianca was on the stage for four years »in Madrid. She ar- rived in New York two months 4 tis ago to be fea- . tured in a play, BLANCA. LOT! but an iliness soon after her ar- rival prevented her taking the role. Disappointed over her bad start, she packed her trunks for her return voyage. It never occurred Ao the little Spanish girl who had’ been in America such a short time that Hollywood is ever seeking new talent, and now especially, Spanish-speaking players. With only a little hope, Blanca asked the producer in whose play she was to have taken part if there was any last-minute opportunity to keep her in this country.: ‘There was one. It was a screen and voice test. ws Gets a Contract. The company that had heard about Blanca wanted her for a part in the Spanish version of “Resurrection,” and assumed that she, like most other —— — mas. + foreign language players, spoke only her own language. To make a short story shorter, Blanca’s name now is on a contract that says she will be in English as well as Spanish pictures. She has only a slight accent. Blanca learned English from a nursemaid who cared for her when her parents visited America. By the time she was 10 she was quite pro- ficient in the language. She’s American Citizen, Her grandmother was the fifst in the family to express a wish to go on the stage. But her aristocratic family kept her from it, because it wasn’t the thing for young girls in Spain to do in those days. An unusual incident made Blanca an American citizen. When she was 12 she lived with her father for a year in Porto Rico and while they were there the Jones bill Was passed in the United States Sen- ate making residents of that island American citizens, unless they denied such citizenship. Many refused to give up their al- legiance to Spain, including Bldnca’s father, but she was overlooked be- cause she was so small. Now she is glad because she has one thing less to worry about.

The increasing complications of modern family life, and the new and ever-changing demands of the educa- tional system, especially in large cities, make it necessary to consider thoughtfully the whole routine of the child's life. The child’s routine no longer can be left to the chance influences with- out real danger that his development will suffer because he enjoys too little of some things and too much of others. Mothers of city children must, for instance, weigh in their own minds the relative importance of outdoor play, of hours spent in the classroom, or in parental companionship. The plan for each child must be made in the light of his physical needs, his special aptitudes and weak- casual. There is always a burning spirit beneath your neat, unruffied exterior and air of quiet self-posses- sion. Allied with your receptive and acute intelligence is a tireless energy and the gift to get things done. Your horoscope is the picture of that of a happy and busy being.

DECEMBER 25, 1930. ‘ wane , a, a Sg et EW YORK, Dec. 24.—Advices from Florida tndicate that the eltizens and office holders of the Miami region have been unable to renew their fine old com with bling busf- ! counter es during the winter. If the gambling business is repressed su accordingly, as the money won at the crap tables, roulette wheels and faro banks is easy money and is spent more freely than any other kind of money. | seized or destroyed by raiding parties. 4 There were some unfortunate inci- dents of this kind last year and Miami got a very bad name with the profes- : sion, The bo CONSCIENCE FUND Is LARGE claimed that they had contributed to the. political conscience fund in the summer of "1929, and when they went South they naturally ex- pected that all the influential con- sciences had been taken care of. Some of these consciences were extremely sensitive, and a large amount of was required to appéase them, but the boys were willing to do this, gs they are very honorable themselves and they do not like to think that any office holder is being troubled by his b, conscience. But they were greatly surprised when they began operations in Miami @nd Miami Beach to discover that some few consciences were still active. Several regrettable incidents occurred end the boys were packing their fur- niture on the trucks, preparing to move to another county, when mod- erate influences effected an adjust- ment. . The refreshment business is not likely to be molested in any way, as drinking is a key industry on the Florida East Coast and, although the district is politically dry, it is well recognized that interference with the industry would drive the customers to the British off-shore islands and to the bars of 5 Sloppy Joe and the four O’Brien brothers in Havana. The O’Brien brothers are four enter- oni young men from New York tate who have made good in a MERCHANTS AT MIAMI | PEEVED |. foreign country, but it is hard to unders tand why they went away to | “Make good when they mi¢ht have gone into business’ in Miami thus | keeping that much more aimerican capital ani business at Home. e drinking industry is a favored @nd protected industry in Floride, particularly on the East Coast, and any interference with the supply by the United States Coast Guard or molestation of the dealers or cus- - tomers ashore by land agents would be certain to draw sharp representa- tions from the leading citizens who ‘are dry in principle and politics. I have been reading that the mer- chants of Miami are just as indignant about the meddling policy of the office holders toward the bling business as the gambling firms are themselves. The merchants have been held up in their buying and other arrangements for the winter season, afraid to buy lest the un- reasonable opposition.to the gambling business should divert the most liberal customers to other places and ‘afraid to buy too little lest the prob- lem should be decided the other way. I. should think some merchants’ luncheon club or bigger and better Dusiness committee would hire counsel and obtain an injunction to restrain the office holders from in- terfering with business. Between them the merchants and the boys of the gambling industry could do some- uite handsome for the judge who would issue the writ, and he tion to pro- tect business by citing for contempt ‘of court any policeman or sheriff who ‘ghould act in restraint of trade. I do not believe the rest of the country has any appreciation of the bearing of the gambling business on life in the happier coastal cities of ‘Florida.

Special Tutor. By FRANK H. YOUNG. ACK from a “Seeing America” tour in connection with his toy baseball game which he intro- duced, Walter Johnson yesterday cau- tioned Washington fans not to over- jook Cliff Bolton as a catching pros- pect im a discussion precipitated by the sale of “Muddy” Ruel to the Red Sox. At that time it was pointed ys | out that Roy Spencer, Ed Kenna and “Pinky” Hargrave were to bear the catching burden for the Nats. The hit is the thing in baseball and scouts and experts who have seen Bolton swing his bat are agreed that he is a natural hitter. As a matter of fact, Bolton’s batting has attracted attention in every league in which he has competed in his short dia- mond career. ; Bolton is not yet 23 years of age and has been playing professionally only since 1928, when he graduated from the High Point (N. C.) High School and joined his home town’s entry in the Piedmont League, lead- ing’ the pill-pounders of that circuit with an average of 403. Reports Late at Tampa, Is Sent to New Haven. Washington bought him at the end of the season and t have kept him, but he failed to report on time, and, when he finally showed up at the Tampa training camp, he was be- hind in training and within a week was sent to New Haven on option. With the Eastern Leaguers soon struck his stride and he was leading the league when he broke his throwing arm late in the season, Last year Bolton showed his wares with Chattanooga and he. topped the stick-wielders in this good circuit, hitting around .400, until near the end, when he: dropped slightly but managed to rate second. His average was 377 for 97 games, 93 hits in 247 times at bat, and hid among his safeties were 18 doubles, 6 triples and. 4 homers, Despite his hitting ability, how- ever, Bolton has one big handicap, probably being-as poor a workman behind the plate as one can imagine, according to reports from these same scouts who have raved over his hit- ting ability. Managers Suffer As He Catches. While at both New Haven and Chattanooga last season, his man- agers suffered acutely while watch- ing him try to catch and finally. gave up, using him in right field so as to give their teams the benefit of his batting punch. It is said that Bol- ton looked so badly chasing fouls that his bosses worried for fear he would be hit on the head while try- ing to make the catch. “T’'ve heard all about Bolton's shortcomings as a catcher,” said Johnson last night, “but I think that Cliff can be taught to catch fairly well, at least—-and that’s going to be Coach Pat Gharrity’s main job when we get to Biloxi next spring. You can teach a fellow to field, but you can’t teach him to hit, and a natural hitter like Bolton is worth taking a little pains with. “Take Mickey Cockrane, of the A’s, for instance,” Johnson continued. “He was terrible on foul balls when Ae first broke in, but now look at Goose him. Goslin was just about as bad a fielder ag I ever saw when he first broke in and he can field with the best of them now. He’s still awkward chasing balls, but he manages to snare ‘em.”’ Gharrity’s Coaching Holds Out Hope. And so Bolton will have a special tutor at Biloxi next spring. Gharrity so that his pupil is not maimed or killed during the first few lessons, but, if Bolton escapes injury in these he has a chance, for the veteran coach is sure to make the youngster a passable fielder anyway. — The rookie could, of course, be car- exclusively for pinch-hitting purposes, but his batting eye prob- ably would get dim if used only oc- casionally. As an outfielder, Bolton was even worse than as a catcher, hence Gharrity’s ability as,a catch- ing coach means much to the Wash- ington Club.

EW YORK, Dec. 24.—‘When I! go home,” said Mr. Swede Wiberg, of Sedan, Nebr., “the kids will ask me: ‘What, did you play against that guy?’ “T’ll say: ‘Yes, and I threw him right on his neck.’ Because he was just like 90 per cent of those news- paper All-Americans, a false alarm.” Mr. Happy Moran of Boone, Iowa, nodded assent. Recently there was 4 football game at the Polo Grounds in which both took part as members of the New York Giants, a profession- al football team. A collection of highly publicized young men who got used to seeing their own picturés in the paper, while members of the Notre Dame Football Team, furnished the opposition. And 50,000 New Yorkers saw the professionals, obscure as individuals, flatten the former All- American. players, 22 to 0. : Neither Mr. Moran nor Mr. Wiberg was an All-American half back while in college. Mr. Moran attended Grin- nell University at Grinnell, Iowa. Mr. Wiberg was a student at Nebraska Wesleyan. He omitted to mention where that is. They were in the of- fice of Dr. Harry.A. March, president of the Giants, discussing the mighty events at the Polo Grounds. * Newspapers Make All-Americans. “All-American players are made by the newspapers, mister,” said the leading citizen of Sedan, Nebr., which has a telegraph office as its only Dixie’s Pleas to Santa Claus Range Wide in Sports Field By DILLON GRAHAM, - TLANTA, Ga., Dec. 24 (A.P.).— Santa Claus will find plenty of empty stockings among Dixie’s $84,232 Boxing Show Nets Charity $3,720 Chicago, Dec. 24 (A.P.).—Gross receipts of the Young Stribling- Tuffy Griffith Charity Boxing Show, December 12, at the Chica- go Stadium, totaled $84,232.41 of which charity received but $3,720.- 58, the final check-up revealed to- day. 4 The contestants on the boxing eard, including Griffith and Strib- ling who shared most of the money, received a total of $44,903.- 93. The charity total was turned over to Gov. Louls L. Emmerson’s unemployment and relief fund. other distinction. The pride of Boone, Iowa, was in entire accord. “When all-American players come up to the professional leagues,” said Dr. March, “they have to prove their case on the playing field, and very few of them show the training and stamina of the boys from the small colleges.” “Where we went,” Mr. Wiberg ex- plained, “there were no substitutes to rush in for you every time you bumped your elbow. Along toward Thanksgiving everybody who figured he had no chance to make a letter would leave the squad, and you would go into the big game of the season with about fifteen fellows. You would have to play 60 minutes. And nobody would give you much publicity, so you couldn't get a swelled head.” Mr. Moran Has Hie Say. ; Here Mr. Moron broke in. “If a fellow on the Yale varsity rums ten yards against the freshmen,” he observed, “he gets more headlines than if a fellow out home broke loose and ran clear into Minnesota. Naturally you read the Associated Press reports in the papers and you get scared., Why, I thought there was something wonderful about all- American players until I came into ““The all-American player is apt to be a prima donna,” . March said. “Of course he receives a great deal of publicity during his undergraduate Pro Football Players From Hinterlands De-Bunk AllAmericans on Playing Field — Tough Pro Game Reveals Frailties of College . Stars. “One of the fellows on my team out home,” said Wiberg, “used to play football just so he could get free meals on the out of town trips. But we had so few men we had to play him regularly.” , The educational standing of Her- vard, Yale and rinceton took an awful sock when both Giants agreed that they had never known a grad- uate of those three institutions to be a first class football pleyer. Their attitude toward most of the Notre Dame stars who had opposed them the day before was patronizing. Can- non, All-American guard in 1929, had the makings of a good football player, they thought, and Hunk Anderson, who is both an old Notre Damer and an old professional, is good, of course. The rest were just nice boys. Red Grange “Flopped” As Pro at First. Red Grange, the most advertised football playér who ever lived, 16, strangely enough, one of the very few who has survived his press agents. Grange came into professional foot- ball as a ball carrier, pure and simple. preceded by an enormous blast of publicity. He was a flop in the pro- game, but he didn’t quit. Now he has learned to block and tackle, to take his full share of the work and submerged himself in the general team play, and even the graduates of Oklahoma City University have to recognize his worth. Moran, Wiberg and the rest of the football Giants aren't conceited. They don’t think they are the greatest pro- fessional football players in the world, but they feel sure that profes- sional football is more “efficient” than the big college kind. The success of the boys from the hinterland is a vindication of the small town against the city, too. These young men from the farms, who attend tiny normal schools or sectarian colleges, come to the city infected with a little of that infer- the league and played against a few.” tori there is one thing about which Wade Drives Alabama Squad Stages Morning and Afternoon Drills at Pasadena. Practice. Rudiments; Washington State Hard at Work. Pines Calif., Dec. 24 (A.P.). Alabama's football team may reign favorites to defeat Wash- ington State in the New Year's Day game here, but it received no favor- itism from its coach, Wallace Wade, today. The Crimson Tide mentor put his men through two hours of funda- mentals this morning at Tournament Park. Not satisfied, he collected them together again this afternoon and meted out two more hours of prac- tice at Patterson Field. The morning workout was even more surprising than the one insti- tuted last night a few minutes after the Southerners left their train. Freddie Sington, giant lineman; John “Flash” Suther, half back, and John “Hurry” Cain, full back, were the sources of greatest interest to those who watched the afternoon drill. The surprising speed of Sington led to opinions by onlookers that if the rest of the line can function as they expect this tackle-guard to, the Cougars will be in for a long after- noon. Coach Orin “Babe” Hollingbery was taking cafe of that problem. at Tournament Park this afternoon, when he settled down to a serious session with his line while assistants took care of the backs. Christmas will be only another day to both teams. Regular workouts are booked for the afternoon. Each ag- gregation will have its festivities with lighted trees, gifts, special din- ner and probably a show afterward. 3 U.S. Track Stars Invade New Zealand San Francisco, Calif., Dec. 24 (A.P.)

The genial Irishman at once made a big hit. Indeed, Vir- ginia’s supremacy in track athletics dates from the arrival of Lannigan. In his first few years he developed a number of the best known track stars in this country, among them James A. Rector, the Arkansas flash, and Forrest Stanton, the California phenom. Rector, it will) be recalled, defeated every man he faced in this country, and in the 100-meter race at the Olympic games in London lost by 6 inéhes to Reginald Walker, the South African, after seven false starts had been made. Rector tied the 100-meter record seven, times in preliminary heats. Turned Down Many Good Offers. Trainer Lannigan’s ability was ac- knowledged throughout the Hast and South, and his services were eagerly sought by leading institutions of both sections. All of these offers were turned down, however, and he remained in harness at Virginia until forced to retire two years ago on ac- count of ill health. For many years Lannigan acted as trainer for all of the athletic teams at V ia. He coached basket ball, track and wrestling and assisted in coaching the baseball and football squads.

Unofficial Watches Show Colt’s Time at 1:35 4.5. By J. B. SNODGRASS. T is regretted there is denied a clear title for Jack High in the matter of lowering the mile record during the present year, for his mile ‘at Belmont Park was a sparkling per- formance. Officially, the George D. Widener colt ran the distance in 1:35 flat, but much was made of the dif- ference in which the race, run May 25 in the Manhattan Handicap, was caught, all the private watches agree- img that the true time was 1:35 4-5. and that the timing clerk merely for- got to hang up the fraction. “This oversight would have made no difference in an ordinary race, but where the American record was at Satake there is too much chance for an injustice. The entire record of Jack High, which is not entered in the stakes for next year, leans to con- firmation of the battery of private watches. Private Watches Caught Time as 1:35 2-5. They caught his record two-fifths of a second slower than the record held for the distance by Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Cherry Pie, mace at Bel- mont Park cn September 3, 1923. This was 1:35 2-5.

A professional football player does not come into his full powers until the third year after his graduation, they explain. The first year with a pro team he just. sits on the bench, © plays a few minutes in cinched g games and learns. The second year he is a substitute and the third year, if he’ has the stuff, he can bear a man’s share of the work. How long he lasts after that depends on the physique and the care he takes uf himself. Professional football is democratic, if any game is.. Jim Thorpe was con- sidered an unstabilizing influence on his eleven, not because he was an Ind’ n, but because he. was a wild Indian. Joe Buyon, his old Carlisle teammate, on the other hand, because of his adherence to training -rules, was valued by coaches as an example of his fellow pros. And a Hotchkiss School and Newport background is no asset at all among the sage brush stars. One reason Cagle,is popular, according to his teammates, is that. —2* all know his folks. haven't & me.” Back Country 1# Full * Of Good Flayers. —?

Box 245, Pairfax. Va. Phone Clarendon 2324-W-2. The authorities of the Town of Falis Church yesterday posted notices for a special election to be held on January 13 on a $125,000 bond issue for a municipal water system. Only freehold property owners, actually re- siding in the corporate limits of the town, are to participate in this elec- tion. Five notices were posted in Public places in Fairfax County and five in Arlington County section of the town. Attached to each notice is a list of the resident freeholders of the town, as compiled from hte tax records by Town Clerk J. C, Parrott.

Jackson, at Groveton, on the Washington-Richmond highway, about three miles south of Alexan- dria, was burned to the ground yes- terday.

McCall Frazier, State motor vehicle commissioner, said today that he ex- pected the revenue to the State this year from the gasoline tax to amount to approximately $11,250,-. 000, or between $900,000 and $1,000,- 000 more than fn 1929. ° : The total collected during the eleven months of 1930 ended No- vember 30 was $10,517,994.51. The total for the entire year, twelve months, in 1929 was $%10,379,274.64. The gas tax collected by the motor vehicle division during the month of November, 1930, was $915,581.51, rep- resenting an increase of -$31,970/76 over the same month in 1929. The tax is assessed on the gasoline sold by 117 companies operating in the State.

In this connection, the motor vehicle commissioner said the con- sideration of applications for tax re- funds was One of thé greatest tasks confronting the commission. More than 600,000 applidations have been made for tax refunds from persons who declare they have used the gasoline in machines exempt from the motor fuel tax. Each application is passed on separately.- Every employe of the division has been worked to the limit during the past week supplying the public with the 1931 automobile license plates. .
