WOODROW WILSON Hit Failure at Paris; Spuming Adversaries By William Allen White Here is the ninth installment of William Allan White's fasci noting story of Woodrow Wil son. After reading this, you will count impatiently the long moments until next Monday, when the tenth installment will be presented exclusively ,n 1 Washington Times. Before Wilson went to Eu rope, while he was making up his list of advisers, the devil, who had sneered at the Wilsonian righteousness, .grinned again as he saw Wilson’s mind at work up that Peace Commission. The President was cut to the quick by the rejection of his party atthe polls. Being crossed, as he felt unjustly, even maliciously, his imperi ous will would have none of his adversaries. His friends, Colonel House, former Attorney-General Gregory, and others, urged upon him the wisdom of taking with him to Paris certain leading Republicans; men who had opposed his cause, but whose support was necessary in America if his cause should win. It was the fundamental and fatal weakness of Woodrow Wilson that, constituted as he was, he trusted his own powers, his first-class mind.” He did not see that he must convince his adver saries. He had dreamed of a world too noble for its inhabitants; so naturally he set upon a task too high for his own mental achieve ment. His Peace Commission carried no political weight with it either in America or Europe.' It was not that Wilson was greedy for credit. He was never that. But he was balefully dis trustful of those who bitter ly opposed him. Lodge, Taft, Root, Roosevelt, Re publican leaders who would have followed him in Paris and in America, who would have strengthened him, he could not work with and re fused to consider. Discredited at Home He was discredited politically at home, by the election, and he emphasized that discredit by puerilely refusing to recognize those who had defeated him. An odd galleon was that which landed at Brest in early December, 1918, when the George Washington anchored. Down the gangplank walked this Yankee knight errant, fol lowed >by a desperate crew of college professors in horn rimmed glasses, carrying text books, encyclopaedias, maps, charts, graphs, statistics, and all sorts of literary crowbars with which to pry up the boun daries of Europe and move them around in the interests of jus tice. as seen through the four teen points. Os course, these invaders were trying to implant an ideal. At bottom the ideal was an at tempt to institutionalize the Golden Rule—a big job. Pre cious little khaki and brass but tons were seen on the horde of invaders that poured down the gangplank, and no sabers rattled to terrify Europe when these conquerors came. Yet it was the “Avenger of the South Seas” this Wilson ship —a dream realized. Army of Experts. The President sent most of his army of experts and advisers to Paris. He began touring Europe. He had come without explaining his missioii. It was his reticent way to let the mission explain it self. Yet. if he had said to the American people, “This war was fought to end war through the establishment of a council of na tions, and that I may be sure that the covenant of the council is wisely drawn, I am going to Europe,” American opinion would have been undivided. But he said Bo such thing. Perhaps to have explained all that he intended would have seemed to him like heroizing him self, and that he would never do. The tour of Europe lasted until nearly mld-January. He spoke in the larger cities of France, Eng and, Belgium, and Italy. His speeches were brilliant, dynamic, convincing. He was at his best form. But he was in Europe and de did not know the European idiom, did not know his way around in European politics. The thing we commonly know as Europe is a geographical loca tion. Europe is vastly more than a place on the map. It is a plane of thought, a spiritual at titude, a civilization. Thousand of years of tradition are woven into the consciousness of the European mind. ‘‘We are ruled by our Bead,” gibed Clemenceau. The Eu ropean begins his mental process with almost a different premise from our premise. Our American Sassion for posterity is like the European respect for ancestry! Bitter Experience Long, bitter experience has taught Europe to face the rear, to look back for motives, to sus pect all things, to fear all things, (Continued on Page 22, Colymn 1.)

MAN IS KILLED BY BELT ■sir Girl Denies Five in Family Died of Poison BOUIC TAKES GARRETT’S POST WILL PUSH PENDING CASES Police Chief Aud and Sheriff Plummer Deny 111 Feeling in Prosecutor’s Arrest Albert M. Bouic, prominent lawyer of Rockville, Md., and former State’s attorney, was ap pointed special prosecutor today, by Judge Robert Peter, of Circuit Court, to take the place of John A. Garrett, present State’s at torney, who was arrested Satur day, charged with the embezzle ment of $14,500 from clients in the private practice of law. Bouic will represent the State in the prosecution of the balance of the cases on the calendar of the present term of court, the most important of which is that of Elizabeth M. King, charged with the murder of her two infants. Suspension Is Unlikely Formal suspension of Garrett as State’s attorney is not likely, in view of the fget that he requested yesterday to be relieved of his duties until definite disposition of the charges had been made, either being dtemisued or corroborated by a grand jury. Indications were today that Judge Peter would call together a special session of the grand <ury within a few days to hear the evidence in the case, which has divided not only Rockville, but the entire county Into two bitter political factions. Rockville today presented a scene of intense excitement. Little groups of men and sometimes women are seen in front of the courthouse, on street corners, and in front of stores discussing the case. Feeling is bitter on both sides. Blame on 11l Feeling. The arrest of Garrett is regarded by himself and his many friends as a result of the ill feeling be tween himself and Chief of Police William L. Aud and Sheriff Clay Plummer. The alleged ill feeling had Its inception in the action of Aud and Plummer in bringing charges that Littleton S. Poole, a prisoner at the Rockville jail last September, had been beaten up by orders of Gar rett. They also say that the recent criticism by the grand jury of Aud and Plummer in the prosecution of prohibition cases tended to in crease the bitter personal animosity that already existed. Since that time Garrett and Aud and Plummer have not “been on speaking terms, except during the conduct of official business. Aud and Plummer deny that Gar rett’s arrest is the result of ill feeling on their part. The police chief declares that he brought about the State’s attorney’s arrest as a result of ‘‘known facts, matters of more or less common knowledge in Rockville and through out the county, and not because of any political or personal feeling against Garrett Judgment Notes Entered. Since Garrett’s arrest Saturday the sum of 118,500 in confessed judgment notes has been entered on the books of the clerk of the court at Rockville. They are: Mrs. Ida J Rabbitt, $0,000; C. Herman Rab bitt, $6,500; Mrs. Ella Holland, $2,625. Each of the loans, it is alleged, were made by Garrett through the method known as the confessed judgment note. A confessed judg ment note, it was explained, is sim ilar to a promissory note except that it runs but one or two days from the date of making to its ma turity. At maturity the lender enters tha note on the docket of the clerk of the court subject to collection just as a promissory note is entered where there is a default. The borrower then appears and (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.) WASHIMraMES NO. 13,213 WORKER IS KILLED BY BELT Albert W. Tohms Torn to Pieces in Paper Manufac turing Plant Caught in the belt of a machine at the District of Colum bia Paper Manufacturing Com pany’S plant at 3255 K street northwest, where he was em ployed as a night boss, Albert W. Tohms, forty-six years old, of 1713 Lamont street north west, was killed instantly today. The body was horribly mangled. Tohms had a, young daughter killed in the collapse of the Knickerbocker Theater roof three years ago. He reported at the plant early today and complained of illness, but refused treatment at the plant’s hospital and dispensary. When the machinery was started shortly after 7 o’clock, Tohms, according to fellow employes, noticed a belt slipping on one of the larger machines. Tried To Remedy Defect. In violation of the regulations of the plant, which required that he report the belt trouble to the re pair department and shut down the machine, workers said, he went down into the belt pit to sprinkle resin on the belt. There were no witnesses of the accident, but it is thought that while leaning over the guard rail to scatter the powdered resin, he became dizzy and fell over the rail onto the belt below. The body was carried into a great flywheel and torn to pieces. The largest fragment of the body left intact was a foot and shoe. Portions of the body. were carried by the belt to the floor above. The belt was broken, the heavy flywheel shaft bent, and several feet of ths guard rail torn away. Employes Discover Body. Employes, hearing the crash as Tohms’ body struck the flywheel, shut off the machinery, discovered the accident and notified the coroner. Tohms had been employed for twelve years as a papermaker, joining the staff of the local plant April 11, 1918. His position as night boss was one of responsibility, as he had a number of employes under him.

SWEETHEURTS ENO LIVES IN AUTO Love Frustrated by Gossip ing Tongues, Man and Girl Teacher Die CUMBERLAND, Md., April 13. Their love affair blighted by gos siping tongues, pretty twenty-year old Erma L. Frank, a school teach er, of Elkins, W. Va., and James L. Maughy, thirty, of Parsons, W. Va., made a suicide pact which they carried out yesterday, it was 1 revealed today when their bodies, 1 with bullets through the hearts, were found in Maughy’s automobile J beside the highway four miles out of Elkins. A note written by Maughy was found on the seat of the car. It read: "Erma and I can’t live 1 apart and we will go where people 1 won’t talk,” and was signed ‘‘J. L. and E. (L..)" Maughy is thought to have been a married man, though the authori ties have no*, yet succeeded in locat ing his wofe, who is said to live in Parsons. The two had been friends for some time. The girl was a school teaher at Harmon, W. Va., and had returned to her home at Elkins for tjie Easter holidays. Saturday night, authorities have learned, Maughy called at the girl’s home with his car and they disappeared. The suicide pact evidently was carried out early yesterday morning, as they evident ly had been dead for nearly twenty feur hours when found this morn ing. The discovery was made by a passing motorist, who notified the police at Cumberland. Miss Frank had been shot twice through the heart by her lover, the investigation showed. Maughty then turned the weapon on him self and ended his life. The authorities probably will make no further investigation and the coroner is expected today to reach a verdict of murder and suicide. WASHINGTON, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1925 Thousands Roll Eggs at White House When Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, casting aside her official role, became for the time a Girl Scout, the Easter egg rolling at the White House gave Washington a real thrill today. Mrs. Coolidge was hostess to the thousands of youngsters upon the grounds. She mingled with the shoals of boys and girls who were engaged in the strange pustime of rolling brilliantly colored Easter eggs on thg grassy slopes of the south lawn. With Mrs. Coolidge were faithful pets, the airedale Paul Pry and the white collie Rob Roy, and tjie youngsters crowded around them with such enthusiasm when the First Lady descended from the portico that she was obliged to beat a hasty retreat. Frolics With Children. I Later she reappeared, when the egg rolling was at its height, and skylarked with the youngsters. It was a new form of hospitality for the occasion, and the younsters I showed their appreciation by cheers. Taking advantage of the bright •spring day the little ones appeared ’early on the scene and prepared to I make a day of it. Most of them I brought large baskets, laden with eggs and the necessary ingredients for a noonday lunch which inter rupted the festivities. Although the parents got in they and other adults were slighted for a subordinate part in the proceed ings, but they were very much in evidence and took as much interest in the events as many of the younger guard.

With none of the counterpoints of grief, with only the practical ity of the unemotional, she sat in a leather rocker in the low-ceil inged parlor of the house on Buchanan street and cited chapter and verse of the experiences of the Cunningham family, which would perhaps dispel the doubt surrounding the death of five of its members. Blames Relatives. "Relatives,” she begins, "auro to blame for starting suspicion and for the "present condition of my mother.. "I was too little to know just exactly what was the matter with my father when he died. We were living on the farm then, and mother and father cared a great deal for each other. They didn't visit around at the neighbors a lot, be cause when they had a little time they'd go to Valparaiso. “Here, then, began the first stories that my parents were queer, in the country, if one doesn't visit one is 'queer*. When father died we moved to Gary—that was six years ago. Two years later my sister, Isabel, twenty, died after an Illness of about three weeks. She and Walter, ten, who died last, and David, who is now sick at the Columbus Hospital, suffered from the same disease. Disease Hereditary. "They had some kind of a bone disease which the doctor treated by injections in the spine. The attend ing physician. Dr. Watts, who had been the family doctor for four years, said that the disease was hereditary and that it came from my father's side. "My father's sister, Mrs. Robert Arnold, resented this, and she al ways talked about it. She knows what was the matter with Isabel and Walter and what's the matter with David.. She knows that my mother isn’t to blame. But she has always made things hard for us. After every death, when mother was in mourning, she’d come and wonder if they couldn't have been saved if more had been done for them. "It used to drive my mother half crazy. Right after Isabel’s death mother began having spells, due to lan upset system. She became a little odd, and when she had spells she didn’t know any one but me. But whoever says that she was dangerous lies. Tells of Many Lies. "People have been telling so many lies. They say that mother didn’t want David to go to the hospital. As a matter of fact, she insisted for a whole week that he do so, but he’s so bashful that he objected until the pain became too severe. "Others have accused mother of not calling a doctor. Why, we never had so much as a sick headache without mother calling in the doc tor. “Mother poison her children? That’s foolish. When she was sick I was with her every minute. “And when she was well she wouldn’t have done a thing like that. I know—she’s my mother. “I might as well be accused of murder.” she continued her tale in that flat monotone of hopelessness.

Mother sent me down to get something for the rats and the druggist, Mr. {fall, wouldn’t sell me arsenic, but gave me something else.

I helped mother dissolve it in water and then placed it in the basement. “Mother has been much better the last month, but there was little that she did without me. I did most of the shopping and helped get sup per when I came home from work. So if mother had bought arsenic I would have known it, I think.” Exhuming Body. All lines of investigation into the deaths today rested on the disin terment of the body of Walter Cunningham, aged ten, the last of the five victims. Grave diggers are to exhume the body from the cemetery near Wheeler, Ind., and with Coroner Oscar Wolff, of Chicago; Coroner A. O.

The White House grounds now are in full spring attire and have never appeared .more attractive. Tbs ffowers are nearly all in bloom, and the turf, although hard and lumpy in spots, is in excellent shape. Among Mrs. Coolidge’s guests on the portico were the children of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. T. Douglas Robinson, the children of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McLean, of Mts. Marcellus B. Thompson, and Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. C. O. Sherrill. The youngsters not only stormed the White House gates in unpre cedented numbers today, but brought with them an unprecedent ed number of eggs, according to the official statisticians. These statisticians were quite firm in the belief they had never seen so many hard-boiled eggs disporting them selves on the White House grounds at a given time. They thought it was the greatest Easter Monday tn egg-rolling history. The egg-rolling is one of the most democratic of all Washington social events —children from the poorer sections of the city mingle freely with the sons and daughters of diplomats. Cabinet officers, and members of Congress This year’s event stands somewhat apart from those of other days in that the President and Mrs. Coolidge have turned it into something of a me morial to their son, Calvin, jr„ who would have been seventeen years-old today. Games Are Played. The boys and girls played “Lon don Bridge Is Falling Down,’’ “Drop the Handkerchief,” “Farmer In the Dell,” “All Around the Mulberry Bush.” and "Follow the Leader” as a part of their sport. There was many a small boy with an eye for business who came to the egg-rolling without either parent or guardian, but who offered himself as an “escort” to inquisitive tourists and sightseers who, having no children of their own with them, were glad to thke this method of obtaining entrance to the White House grtofsds. The local organizations of Girl Scouts were in charge of the policing of the event. The egg-rolling con tinues until 3:30 o’clock, when a Marine Band concert will begin and continue until 5 o'clock. This musi cal event is for the benefit chiefly of the thousands of tourists who are spending their Easter in Washing ton, and is a welcome addition to the White House Egg-rolling fes tivities.

With the arrival today of advance news on the big show, there can be not the slightest \estige of a doubt that spring is doing a rushing busi ness. The press agent asks us all to mark in red the date of May 11, when the Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Combined Shows will arrive in Washington. Readers will be inclined to view with perplexity the fact that this year the circus is breaking a cus tom of many years’ standing by ar riving on a Thursday. Oldest in habitants today may be seen in the interesting procedure of racking their brains to remember tbe time when the circus paid its annual visit on any other day than Monday- This is 1925, however, and the show has grown to such massive proportions that such things as bookings must be considered. Then, too, the circus men hope to catch the big Saturday afternoon and night crowds in the Capital. The formal advance statement is full of such well-remembered phrases as “sumptuous splendor and gigan tic prodigality” and the yearly promise that “the miracle has been wrought again and the circus this year “far outstrips all its past achievements.” et cetera, et ?etera. There is, however, a new line in the announcement of the first ap pearance in Washington of ‘‘The Fete of the Garlands,” tn an equine ballet, in which “150 gallant steeds, handsome youths and comely maidens participate.” The show is now in New York, where it is attracting, in the mod est phraseology of the press agent, “Relighted multitudes.” Quake East of Manila MANILA, April 13— Saturday's Psclfic earthquake recorded on seis mographs generally throughout the United States was declared by l T ni vtrsity of the Philippines Sciences to have occurred 2,000 miles east of here. •rHMATMNAL «W 8 MRS.

INCREASED POSTAL RATES TO BECOME EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY CHANGE I 5 EXPLAINED BYNEW Postmaster General Gives De tails of Levy to Meet Ex pense of Pay Raise To meet the increase in salaries of postal employes throughout the country—approximately $68,- 000,000 a year—recently author ized by Congress to become retro active January I—additional post age rates on certain classes of mail matter will be imposed by the Government, beginning Wednesday. In order that the public may be thoroughly informed of the changes in the rates and to avoid any possible confusion of misun derstanding, a statement showing the difference in rates from those now prevailing was authorized by Postmaster General New. Explained By New. "SOjfar as the rates on first class mall are concerned,” said New, there are no changes whatever except in the case of private mailing cards, including souvenir post cards, on which the rate is increased from 1 to 2 cents. Postal cards issued by the Government, however, will continue to be sent for 1 cent each. “The rates on second, third, and fourth class mail have been in creased in certain contingencies, but this increase is slight and will not work any hardships on the public. The excess revenue to be derived from such sources will enable the Postoffice Department to meet its obligations and at the same time provide increased compensation for its army of faithful employes.’* Other Changes Made. Other changes effective in the postal rates Wednesday are as follows: Second class mail—Newspapers, magazines and other periodicals con taining notice of second class entry. The rate for the public is 2 cents for each two ounces up to eight ounces and the fourth class zone rate plus a 2-cent service charge on each parcel over eight ounces. This does not include certain in creeses in rates for publishers and news agents. Third-class mail —Circulars and other miscellaneous printed matter as well as merchandise. The rate la IMi cents for each two ounces up to eight ounces. But the rate on books, including catalogs, of twenty-four pages or more, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants Is 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof up to eight ounces. Fourth-class (parcel post) mail The same matter, weighing more than eight ounces, as handled in third-class mail. Limit of weight seventy pounds in first, second and third zones, and fifty pounds in all other zones. The present pound rates in the various zones have not been changed. Charges for Stamping. A service charge of 2 cents in ■tamps, to be affixed to packages in addition to the postage, has hern Imposed for each parcel, except those collected on rural delivery routes. The act of February 28, 1925, of fers a new and speedier service for parcel post which mailers may pur chase at their own option. This new service is designated a “spe cial handling” service. Practically speaking, this service means that parcel post is to be handled, not as parcel post is customarily handled, but is handled as first-class mail. Its particular advantage applies mainly to its handling en route on railroads and other transportation facilities be tween the postoffice of dispatch and the postoffice of destination. It must be carefully distinguished fronw the “special delivery” service, where the chief advantage applies after the arrival of mall at the postoffice of its destination. For this special handling of mail a charge of 25 cents will be im posed, in addition to the regular postage and 2-cent service charge. Mailers of perishables, such as meats, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., will .have, under the new law, the privilege of purchasing “special handling” service, together with “special delivery” service, in case the mailers themselves consider that the commodity which they are mailing justifies the expenditure. If the mailer decides not to pur chase the special handling and spe cial delivery stamps, his consign ment will be handled as ordinary parcel post is customarily handled. Domestic Money Orders. New rates for domestic money orders effective April 15 are as follows: Not exceeding 82.50, fee 5 cents, formerly 3 cents; exceeding" 82.50 •nd not exceeding 85. 7 cents, for merly 5 cents; exceeding 85 and not exceeding 810, fee 10 cents, former ly 8 cents: exceeding $lO and not exceeding S2O, fee 12 cents, former ly 10 cents; exceeding S2O and not exceeding S4O, fee 15 cents, former ly S2O to S3O, 12 cents, S3O to S4O, 15 cents; exceeding S4O and not ex ceeding S6O, fee 18 cents, formerly S4O to 50, 18 cents, SSO to S6O, 20 •ants; exceeding S6O and not ex ceeding SBO, fee 20 cents, formerly S6O to $75. 25 cents, $75 to SBO, 30 cents; exceeding SBO and not ex ceeding SIOO, fee 22 cents formerly 30 cents.

ON TAX PUBLICin Senator Reed, Missouri, and Newton D. Baker Stressed Invalidity of Law Replies to the Government’s com plaints against newspapers for pub lishing individual income tax pay ments were filed today with the Supreme Court by Senator Reed of Misouri, for the Kansas City Jour nal-Post, and by former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker for the Baltimore Daily Post. These two newspapers had been selected by the Government for its test cases to determine the right of many newspapers in publishing income tax payments. Both Sen ator Reed and Baker stressed the invalidity of the law as violating the Federal Constitution. Senator Reed insisted that the Govern ment's argument against publicity by newspapers of these payments was an abridgement of the freedom of the press. If the Government’s contention is sustained, Reed ar gued, the country is thrown back to July 4, 1776 and the Revolution, the Bill of Rights and the Fedenu Constitution would be without avail. Baker argued that the Govern ment is trying to make a distinc tion between the freedom of the press and freedom of speech, whlCu he held, is impossible to sustain. The court will hear oral argu ments in these cases during the next week, THE WASHINGTON TIMES Services at St. Patrick’s and the First Congregational Church ended at about the same time yesterday morning, accounting for this crowd on Tenth street, wending its way to that grand old parade-ground, F street.

It was a great day for Vanity Fair’s annual spring w&kdn 1 n The President and Mrs. Coolidge attended morning services at the First Congregational Church, hear ing the Reverend Jason Noble Pierce preach upon “The Spirt of Peace." Two morning services were held at this church, and the crush was so great that hundreds of visitors to the city, anxious io participate in a service with the President, were turned away.

Body Found in Lake By International N«wi Service. CHICAGO, April 13.—Finis was written to the sensational life and death story of Robert Preston, twenty-one-year-old Northwestern University student, today when a coroner’s jury brought in a ver dict holding that, despite the ab sence of powder marks on the youth’s head, he had come to his death in the waters of Lake Michi gan by his own hand. A factor in the jury’s decision was the boy’s diaries, found in a briefcase which he had filled with weights and strapped to his body, evidently with the Intention of holding it down. These told of a life of carousing—a last wild fling in the shadow of death —while he contemplated the length of time which it would take diabetes, the disease from which he suffered to “end it all” for him as a result of his failure to comply with the regulations which the dipease de manded. Food orgies, gay parties with girls, particularly usherq at movie theatres, overdoses of in sulin —all were recorded in the diaries through which at all time ran the strain of certain, impending death. “How long can I last? Not more than a year anyway. So I’m going to have a good time.” This was the creed of fatalism which the boy adopted, his diary revealed. At another place, after a drunken party he asks: “Where and how will it all end?” This he answered Saturday night, with a pistol held to his head, as he teetered on the brink of the lake, into which his body toppled.

HAGERSTOWN, Md., April It.— Scores of men, residents of towns and mountaineers, by back-firing and other methods today checked two big forest fires that had been burning on the eastern slope of South mountain, near Smithburg, since yesterday. The fires were on Little moun tain, a spur of the South mountain range, and swept through heavy timber, driven by a strong wind. Lack of rain of consequence for some time made the timber and undergrowth quick fuel for the flames. The heaviest damage was done on lands owned by Lancelot Jac ques, sr., and his son, Lancelot Jacques, jr. Dwellings in the path of the fires were saved. The second fire was on Catoctin mountain. Wild flower hunters are believed to have started the fires. Forest wardens are establishing communication in the fire area, as the telephones in that section went down when some of the poles burned.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF HAPPENINGS IN SOCIETY BRIDE’S STORY READS LIKE DIMENOVEL Countess Gizycka and El mer Schlesinger Mar riage Revives Tale A PENCHANT for surprises seems to run in the Gizycka family. Scarcely has the talk anent Felicia Gizycka’s marriage to young Drew Pearson died down, yet now comes that her moth er, Countess Eleanor Gizycka, is married to Elmer Schlesinger, for merly general counsel of the United States Shipping Board, and that the two have sailed for Europe on their honeymoon. The wedding was on Saturday Jn New York and in spite of the prominence of the bride and bride groom, they managed to keep Secret the fact that it was contem plated until the ceremony was over and their ship had sailed. I con fess that the news came as a surprise to me, for I had not even heard that a romance was brew ing, although from time to tim® Mr. Schlesinger’s name appeared as among the guests at Countess Gizycka’s parties. The simple ceremony in the chapel of the license bureau of the Municipal Building was in striking contrast to the pomp which marked the marriage of Eleanor Patterson to Count Josef Gizycki, a Polish nobleman, in Washington back in 1904. It is to be hoped, too, that her present voyage upon the matri monial seas will be a contrast to the sormy passage which preceded it. The story, hashed and rehashed in the newspapers of fifteen years or so ago, reads like a dime novel. All the ingredients of a penny thriller are in it —the beautiful American heiress, the dashing Pol ish nobleman, the ••magnificent feudal castle,” which turns out to be a tumble-down building served by unpaid servants Instead of by liveried flunkeys, and the incessant demands for money. A new chap ter starts with the birth of Count ess Felicia, the only child of the couple. Instead of drawing the two together, as was hoped, the child’s presence widens the breach, she is carried off to London by her mother, kidnapped by her father and is the center of an affair which creates an interna tional stir. The Czar of all the RusSias is finally persuaded to in tervene. the child is restored, a di vorce is granted and -little Felicia takes up her life in her mother’s country. The courtship had begun, with all the glamor and romance, when Eleanor Patterson, the daughter of Mrs. Robert W. Patterson and a granddaugter of Joseph Medlll, pi oneer newspaper publisher of Chi cago, had gone a’visiting to her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert McCormick, when the former was American ambassador at Vi enna. In spite of some family op position. _ Mrs. McCormick an nounced the engagement, eventually Mrs. Patterson’s consent wag won and the wedding ..took place in Washington with much pomp and ceremony to mark it.

Felicia Gizycka Born to Romance; Ran Away From Home. The romantic strain bred in-pretty Felicia Gizycka has already broken out. A slim, lovely child with honey-colored hair, si.e found her self at eighteen with everything her heart could desire—except a job. Plans were being made for her coming out ball, but the prospect held no charms for her and, when her mother wouldn’t consent to her going to work, she ran away from the Gizycka ranch, in the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming, rode thirty miles to the nearest railroad station, sold her horse to pay her railroad fare and set out for San Diego, as the one place where she had no friends or connections, determined to make h,er own. She started out as a waitress in a railroad hash house, worked for a time in a publishing company, went back to waiting again and it was in a sort of Y. W. C. A. cafe teria that Drew Pearson found her when he finally brought to a suc cessful close the wooing which had begun months before when he was visiting Countess Gizycka *on the Wyoming ranch. The young couple were married without previous an nouncement of an engagement, but both families were delighted. The marriage of Countess Eleanor Gizycka and Mr. Schlesinger also seems to have met with the general approval of her friends and his. A Harvard graduate, he is a mem ber of. the law firm of Chadbourne, Stanchfield and Levy. He was for merly vice president of the Emer gency Fleet Corporation. The new Mrs. Schlesinger is a daughter of the late Robert W. Patterson, a sis ter of Joseph M. Patterson, pub lisher of the Chicago Tribune; a niece of Robert Sanderson McCor mick, former ambassador to France, Austria-Hungary and Russia, and a cousin of the late Senator Medill McCormick. Her home in Wash ington is at T 5 Dupont circle. Mr. Schlesinger was divorced three years ago.

There Is evdry Indication that a partial if not a complete reconcilia tion has been effected between Ms. and Mqb. Milton J. Budlong, whose marital differences were aired in (he superior court here two months ago in the trial of Mrs. Budlong’s petition for divorce.

HUSTON, InternaOeaal H*r» B*rvie«. TOKYO, Aprfl 13.—Establishment of an air ministry to have complete control of Japanese military anil naval aviation is believed to be fore shadowed by the creation of an in dependent aviation corps as a ree ognized arm of the Japanese army. It is believed that a similar will soon be taken by the navy anp that eventually the military air forces will be merged. The new aviation corps of ths army came into existence on. April 1, and, with its establishment, the army now has six branches, the others being infantry, cavalry, ar tillery, engflfeerlng and transport The Japanese army now has ten aerial battalions, four new ones having been added by recent legis lation. The addition of these four battalions raises the army air force from 500 machines and 3,000 men to more than 800 machines and 5,000 men. New planes for the corps are be ing manufactured In the rm Y fcr senals, all .modeled upon the latest designs of European planes. Several new types of planes, it is understood, recently have been pur chased in Europe. The predomi nating types to be used by the Aviation Corps are the Nieuport, Bleriot, Samson and Dornier- planes. It is expected that, many of the 40,000 men that are to be dis charged from the Japanese army under the retrenchment policy de terrrrined upon by the Kato Cabinet will be re-enlisted in the. Aviation Corps. Hitherto instructors tn the mili tary air force of Japan have been chiefly former French air officers; but, under the new regime, it Is an ticipated that Japanese aviators Will be sent to England, the United States and. other countries for in struction in aeronautics. 5

Besides, the chorus is of Washington, as is the fine professional orchestra under Jacques Samoussoud. Again we have the fine stage direction of Enrica Clay Dillon, who has been the unseen power, for several seasons, of the productions of the Washington Opera Com pany, of which Edouard Albion is director. Brisbane on Heifetz. Last winter there appeared in the New York American one of the finest expressions of apprecia tion of Jascha Heifetz and his play ing that has appeared anywhere. It was written by the highest paid journalist in the world, Arthur Bris bane. and filled his “Today” column, in which he discusses all the import ant topics of the hour. Mr. Brisbane said: “In Russia, about twenty years ago, a precocious child played tha violin. His father watched and corrected little Jascha, proud that the boy, still in his babyhood, knew almost all that the father knew of playing. "Neighbors said “It’s a shame. That Heifetz spends his whole day listening to his little boy practicing, and correcting him, when he ought to be working for his family.” But the father played his violin at night in the theater orchestra and kept his family that way. “Yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall in New York, little Jascha, grown to be a tall young man, played a better violin, with every seat in the great hall filled, every ticket for standing room sold. His <ather from Russia sat close in front still listening to his little boy playing. “Sometimes it pays to concen trate on making money and some times it pays to concentrate on your little boy with talent. “Far more important than money making, that boy, with his violin, made it possible yesterday for thousands to begin the new year in an atmosphere of beauty and In spiration—the music by’ Bach and Grieg, played as the writers meant to have it played, lighting in each mind, according to Its power, hope and inspiration. “You _ saw thousands of Inspired faces a£ the concert yesterday; old men and women, the years lifted from them by the power of music; earnest young students, grateful for a chance to stand through the afternoon, unconscious of fatigue.” Jascha Heifetz will play here on Bunday evening, April 19, at 8:30, at the Washington Auditorium. Tickets are for sale at the Peggy Albion Concert Bureau, in the Jor dan Piano Company, Thirteenth and G streets northwest. Polish Pianht, Friday. Mieczyslaw MW, the Polish pianist, will be h£ard in recital Hext Friday evening, at 8:30 o’clock, at the Central High School audi torium, under the auspices of the community center department of the public schools. This will be the last concert in the “Students’ Course.” This young artist in his recent tour of the West has played to capacity houses, as was also the case during his tour in Australia last summer. He has recently ap peared as soloist with the famous Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Koussevitzky. As this will be his first appearance in Washington no student of music should fail to hear his exceptional program. It will be recalled that Munz sub stituted for Leginska in the New York recital scheduled to be given by her. His program will include the fol lowing numbers: Organ Toccata, Adagio and Fuge, C major (Bach- Busoni); Moonlight Sonata, Opus 27, Jfo, 2, (Beethoven): “Menuet,” (Ram eau-Godowsky); “Moment Musical” (Schubert-Godowsky); "Tango” (Al beniz-Godowsky); "Prelude,” G major (Rachmaninoff); "Etude Tableaux” B minor and E flat major (Rachmaninoff); and a Chopin group “Nocturne,” “Mazurka,” “Valse” and “Polonaise” opus 53.

He has had the distinction of appearing with orchestra and in many recitals in America with marked success. Welcome To Schwartz Lad In Violin Recital Great things are predicted for Milton Schwartz, fifteen-year old Washington violinist, who returns to this city next Sun day after five years of study in New York. The lad will appear in recital at the Na tional Theater next Sunday at 3:80 o’clock. “He is the successor of the great Kubelik!” This was the spontaneous tribute paid young Schwartz by Walter Damrosch, the famous conductor, after he had heard him in a recital in New York. Time alone will settle the ac curacy of that prophecy, but it is interesting to observe the striking parallel in the two careers. Kubelik was just eight years old when his musicianship and real gift for the violin first became manifest. Milton Schwartz’ genius became ap parent when he was the same age. Milton, whose parents live in this city, was nine years old when he made his first appear ance in a recital here. At that time he was a pupil of Josef Kaspar. His artistry caused something of a sensation. “Where such a child sum mons that rare thing, ’personal ity,’ from is always a mys tery,” was one critic’s com ment. That was six years ago. It is a new, a more mature Mil ton Schwartz who will be heard here next Sunday at the Na tional. Five years’ study un der David Mannes in New York has so improved the lad that it has brought' about many encomiums from the musical world and the public. He will play the Beethoven Sonata, No. 1; the Bruch Con certo in D minor; “Melodic” (Gluck Kreisler); Spanish Dance, No. 1 (Sarasate); “Ca price Viennois” (Kreisler); “Air on G String” (Bach), and “Ziguenerweisen” Sarasate Tickets are on sale at the Na tional Theater box office. CARYL BENZEL TO SING AT MAYFLOWER CONCERT Equipped both with a mallow, appealing voice and with charm of personality, Caryl Bensel, who Is to be heard in Washington Mon day evening, April 20, wins her audiences immediately. The occa sion of her appearance Is the fourth promenade concert in the all-American series being held at the Mayflower Hotel, •when a pro gram featuring opera numbers will be given. Miss Bensel is well known in the East and South for the beauty of her voice and the ease and mu sicianship with which she handles it. According to the Musical Courier, Miss Bensel “imbues her songs with atmosphere” and her recitals are “an artistic treat from several standpoints.” Musical Americans say of her that she has “a voice of fine qual ity, well produced, sings with' poise and charm and with clear diction. Tickets for this concert are on sale at the Mayflower Hotel and at the Homer L. Kitt music store, 1330 G street. CHILDREN PLAYERS IN “MOTHER GOOSE’’ MATINEE All childhood _ begins with the Mother Goose nursery rhymes. All childhood music begins with the little songs that have been set to these verses that—like Peter Pan— never grow old. So it is interesting to know that the Children Players of Wash ington, under the direction of Lenore Marie de Grange, are to give a children’s Easter matinee at Emerson Hall, All Souls’ Uni tarian Church, next Wednesday at 2. presenting "Mother Gooses Birthday,” written by Ada Louise Townsend. It Is called for children and grown-ups. The Children Players have presented this fantasy of Mis tress Mary. Jack and Jill, Little Miss Muffet and Gallant Bobby Shafto and their friends at the Washington Club and at Wardman Park. THE WASHINGTON TIMES H SOLOISTS 110 HIM DUES

Conductor and Soloists. Doctor J. Fred Wolle, conductor of these Bach festivals, stands to day as the greatest exponent of Bach in the United States, some authorities say, in the world. His work has been a life dedication. To Doctor Wolle and to the solo quartet, a special place must be reserved. Nicholas Douty, tenor, brings with him as great a tradition as Doctor Wolle, having sung in every Bach festival. He is the most ex perienced Bach singer living, it is said. His solo, "Benedictus,” is particularly beautiful, as is a duet with soprano. Mildred Fass, soprano, of Phila delphia, has been engaged for nine Bach festivals. There is no solo for soprano In the mass, but sev eral most effective duets. w Mabel Addison, contralto, has sung two or three times at Bethle hem, and her solo, “Agnus Del,” is the solo gem of thia mass, near the end of the work. Charles Trowbridge Tittmann, our own bass soloist, has been engaged for ten Bach festivals, and next to Mr. Douty probably sings more Bach than any other Amerlcah sing er. Mr. Tittmann has sung this mass twice with the Chicago Apollo Club, at Cincinnati in the May fes tival there, and is to sing it this May at Ann Arbor and at Bethle hem. J The bass solos are most difficult, “Quoniam tu Solus Sanctus,” with rench horn and oboes, sound cu rious to modern ears and lies low even for a bass voice, while the "Et in Spiritum” is unusually high. The coming of forty players of the Philadelphia Orchestra insures a great accompaniment. To the first violin many solo passages are given that become of rare solo im portance in the mass and'which de mand a player of the highest qual ity. END OF APRIL BRINGS COMPOSERS’ FESTIVAL Many local singers and musicians will be given opportunities to par ticipate in the first annual Women Composers’s Music Festival of the American Women Composers’ Unit of the League of American Pen Women, on the three programs given during the week of April 27- May 1, when eighteen women com posers will direct the presentation of their own compositions, and will, in many eases, be active soloists or accompanists.

Bach and Rossini for Festivals of Music Here This Week By JESSIE MacBRIDE. This week is important in the National Capital. This week—by the coming of the great Bach Choir and its 250 singers—Washington becomes a Festival City, hearing for the first time the Bach “Mass” in B minor. Tonight, the Washington Opera Company closes its season with a presentation of that delightful classic of grand opera, in comic guise, Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” Bach and Rossini were born a century apart. The former in 1685, the latter in 1792. With the appearance of Johann' I Sebastian Bach and of Handel, Germany took her place in the first rank of the musical nations of Europe. Rossini, after a life of great pro ductivity in works for the theater, remains today noted chiefly, as he himself predicted, for the third act of his opera “Otello,” the sec ond of his opera “William Tell” and i for the entire “Barber of Seville.” Gem of Italian Melody. This last score, so youthful, so alive and vital, written —so It is said—in thirteen days, is Rossini's masterpiece and that of the Italian "buffa opera.” It is, too, a gem of Italian melody. How different the story of the works of Bach! He “was a sort of monster,” writes Paul Landormy, the French critic, in his admirable book, “The History of Music,” printed in 1923, in an English translation by Fred erick H. Martens. “Aside from his secular cantatas, Bach wrote some 250 religious can tatas. He unites within himself the opposing tendencies of several centuries, of which he is a resume or a herald. “He derives from the Middle Ages through his polyphony and his love for descriptions; is allied to the eighteenth century by his dramatic recitatives and his arias, and to the French seventeenth cen tury by his elegance and his cul tivation of ornament. At the same time, he prepares the way for the grave and somewhat ponderous, yet profound and puissant art of the coming Beethoven or Richard Wag ner.” Bach Masses and Cantatas Bach wrote four short masses, and especially the “Mass In B flat minor,” which Is one of his master pieces. It was intended for the choir of the elector of Saxony, to Whom he dedicated his great “Kyrle” and his *’Credo,” so memorable in their im pressive choral grandeur. Continu ing to quote Landormy: Bach’s cantatas are composed of the following elements: As a base there is the chorale; It often begins and ends the cantata; it supplies the themes which are developed in the large choruses; its spirit ani mates the entire work. Recitatives, at times in dialogue or in chorus, expose either' the re ligious narrative or the pious thought of the work. Arias, duos and trios then supply the lyric or sentimental commentary. It is in his chorales, his choruses and his recitatives that Johann Sebas tian Bach Is the most grand, more profound, and also most equal to himself. Bach was deeply religious. It was not merely as a professional com poser that he wrote his church cantatas. He enveloped his reli gious faith and his cult of music in a united development of. thought.

Such co-operation will do more toward bringing it about than any other influence. Mr. King's letter explains the project. He write®: 728 Seventeenth St. N. W., April 6, 1925. Miss Jessie Macßride, The Washington Times, .Washington, D. C. My Dear Mias Macßride: I have read with much interest your article in The Washington Times proposing that the United States Marine Band Orchestra or one of the other military orchestras should give a series of orchestral concerts in the auditorium at a nominal price. I have no knowl edge of the other orchestras to which you refer, but I regard the work of the Marine Band Orchestra as highly and think that concerts by it upon the plan sug gested by you would be a very valuable contribution to the musical development of Washington. The orchestra has the good for tune to be conducted by a very competent musician* who hgs not only the ability as a leader to con trol his men and produce the effects desired, but is also very widely ac quainted with orchestral music and extremely skillful In making pro grams of good music which is at the same time readily heard, ab sorbed and enjoyed by the popular audience, without great critical knowledge of music which con certs under these conditions would I have had the pleasure of attend ing only one of the regular con certs of this orchestra. The pro gram contained the classic and lovely "Jupiter” symphony of Mo zart and the' Mendelssohn violin concerto. The former was inter preted with fine regard to the com poser's spirit and meaning; the latter was played In a charmingly romantic manner by one of the musicians of the orchestra, Mr. Hoffman. I believe that Captain Santelmann could present many programs equal to this. I shall feel greatly interested in your effort to forward your pro posed plan. J Your# very truly, (Signed) WM. BRUCE KING. “GOLD STAR” CONCERT AT EPIPHANY ON WEDNESDAY A concert will be given at Epiph any Parish Hall, Wednesday eve ning at 8, under the auspices of the Gold Star department of the D. C.

Mrs. Underwood concluded the prpgram with “The Maids of Cadiz” (Delibes) and “Down In the Forest” (Ronald). Miss Clara Stack read an inter esting summary of the life of Schu mann. The accompanist of the eve ning was Miss Pauline Knoeller. NEWTONE-POEM Os MARINE BAND Siegfried Scharbau, Member of U. S. Band, Honored as Composer Friday The United States Marine Band Orchestra, at its symphony concert next Friday evening at S:ls, in the Marine Barracks auditorium, will present for the first time a composi tion by a mem* ber of the band, Siegfried Schar bau. It is a tone poem en- titled “Indians IPF of America." Mr. Scharbau came to America BL jf. from the Con servatory of Mu sic of Hamburg, B where he had the inestimable privilege of studying har- position under’. sBBBMI Max Fiedler and MNBMMI also under Hans S SwARBAN Bart. He has been a member of the United States Marine Band for eighteen years, playing first bassoon In the band and 'cello when this two-instrument organization becomes an orchestra during the winter concerts. This new work Is In symphonic form, in three parts, but Is played without pause. The first part is a "moderate marziale ad libitum,’’ with Frsach horn and muted tympani, giving the first primitive sounds of the ancient redmen. A sort of pastoral is the second "poco lento," with its im pressions of a scene by a brook. In which the solo English horn is repeated in Imitations by the bas soons, the composer's own instru ment. We’ve recently had the import ance of these deep inner-voice In struments brought to mind through the fact that Koussevitsky waa at one time a virtuoso solo player oi the bass viol. Mr. Scharbau, in his finale, has written a coda that re calls th< first two movements and has introduced a new “happy hunt ing ground’’ theme that should offer a fascinating rhythmic back ground, with a twelve-eight time against a four-four. He usee fre quent intervals of the fifth and the fourth. At the close, he takes the native Americans to their In- t dian Walhalla, with chimes and a strong melodious cadence in C major. Captain Santelmann is honoring this new work and his own orches- 1 tra by giving it the place on the program. The symphony for Friday is the Dvorak’s Fifth, "From the New World,’’ making the rivalry very keen, for the Bohemian composer received one of his most vital in spirations from the folklore of our land, including both the Indian and the negro. Principal Musician Robert E. Clark, as solosit, will play Verdi’s "Celeste Aida” for trombone. The overture to Berlioz’s "Roman Car nival” will be given and Captain Santelmann’s own delightful waltz suite, "The Debutante.”

Ernest Rhodes, eighteen-year-old valet for a motion picture actor, was a mute figure in West End police court to day when arraigned for the murder of Grace Diana Blackaller. sixteen year-old dancing girl. The boy was shabbily dressed in a, gray suit. He looked pale and worn from his week-end in jail and hung his head as the testimony of a single witness was taken. Chief Inspector Savage, of Scot land Yard, testified that Rhodes gave himself up and said he wanted to make a statement regarding the Blackaller case. •’I only wish to speak the truth and make the best of a bad job,” the inspector quoted the boy as saying. He then read a long state ment signed by Rhodes. Rhodes, in the statement, said that after he and Grace became sweethearts, he met her in the park, where they sat “loving and killing and acting the fool.” Then ne told of a lovers’ spat when they were arranging an Eastertide tryst. He asked her If she was going out with other boys. ••Would you care?” she teased. ••Yes, I would. I love you,” the boy replied. The girl laughed. "Don't laugh. You’re playing with me,” he accused her. “You poor fool,” she replied. "Then I laughed, too,” the boy’s •aterr.ent read. “My head whirled. •nd I didn’t know what I was doing. As we were kissing good-by I pulled a razor from my pocket and pulled it across her throat." 1 Killed After Buying Hat CLEVELAND, April 12.—Anna Miller, nlnet*en-year-old high school 'udent, bought a hat and two min utes later was killed by an autoino- Wla in front of the hat store.

8 REPORTS BY THE PLAY REVIEWERS PRESIDENT— “White Cargo” Possibly it was the reflected halo of its long run—still going on—in New York. Perhaps it was due to curiosity bom of nu merous slams-that are-boosts de claring the play "indecent.” Whatever the reason an Easter bibbed crowd turned out for White Cargo last night, so large that the “sold-out” sign was hung up at the President Theater half an hour before the curtain went up. and which finally necessitated calling out the police reserves of Number One Precinct, fortunately hard by. It seems that those toward the rear of the line, extending nearly a block beyond the lobby, decided to march on the box office in ex tended order. For a few minutes there was much action, but no one was hurt. Just a few Easter bonnets crushed and a few satin shoes ungently stepped on. Those who got inside got their money’s worth. The original com pany, of course, still is on Broad way, but the cast Harry Cort and Barney Klawans have brought to Washington is solidly good. In the parlance of the tribe, the members all know their stuff. Especially Cornelius Roddy, as Witzel, hard boiled pessimist and misanthrope who usually turns out to be right. Also there was Marshall Vincent, as the doctor, philosophical failure with a bril liant future behind him, washed up on the coast of Africa on a sea of Scotch whiskey. In case you aren’t familiar "with the plot,” it details a cou ple of years in the lives of a group of men on an African rub ber farm, a place consisting chief ly of heat and dry rot, homesick ness and native women. These last two work together into a sort of natural fusion. Langford, incidentally well por trayed by Bernard Thornton, a "clean limbed young English man,” is sent to the jcinean post, and you watch him slowly de teriorate under the “I-told-you-so" jibes of Witzel (the aforementioned Cornelius Roddy), an old-timer, who has become "acclimated.” Witgel, from the beginning tells Langford it is only a question of time before he will "mammy pa laver”—which is African idiom for living with a native woman. Langford fools him by legally marrying one instead. And then, when she finds out her romance is a life sentence, she tries to poison him. Her plan is discov ered, and Langford is sent home in time. And then the curtain goes down with the probabilities being that the woman in the case will, in the future, "make tiffin” for Witzel. Bert C. Wood, as the mission ary, and Lawrence Keating, as Ashley, a weakling' whom Africa licked, did some mighty fine work. So also did Willard Da shieE, as the barefooted drunken •kipper of a tramp river steamer, and Mickey Wells, as the engi neer on the same boat. Then there was Jim Fish, a native, who didn’t have much to do, but who looked picturesque. That role is portrayed by a full blood ed, long haired Indian, Chief White Eagle. Naturally he looks the part. There is only one woman in the east, Tqndleye, the half cast, less than half clad, siren, whose mor als are no better than they should be. Helen Stransay is cast as Tondleye, and she's so good, both to look at and listen to, you re sort of giad there aren’t any others. Makes it less distracting. Altogether, a rattling good •how—but decidedly not for chil dren,^-V. O. POLFS— “Baby Blue” No less an authority than Mon sieur Leo Leavitt himself as sures us that Mr. Jack Connors is the dancing master who is re sponsible‘for the present era of glorified dancing chorus girls. To delve .further into history, the record has it that a musical comedy called "Flossie” with danc ing numbers staged by Mr. Con nors, was the first to bring the merry villagers front aqd center end give each nimble hoofer a few seconds of prominence and the spotlight. The idea of mak ing the chorus something more than decorative trimming has spread and lo and behold each new entry for musical comedy sweepstakes offers a prancing en semble. sound of wind and limb, and competing with principals for applause. “Baby Blue” has one of these choruses —a group of pretty girls, •very one capable of arresting at tention through dancing talent, end all possessing the vigor, vital ity and vim to enhance numbers. This new production with a book by Roland Oliver and Charles Dickson as unfolded for the first time at Poll’s last night will run smoother and better when it has had a few more laughs judici ously inserted into the action- Such prestige as now accrues must be g'ven to Harold Christy who is programmed as responsible for the music and lyrics and who Fas done a commendable job. Such tunes as "I-tttle Boy Blue,” "Maybe Because." "Sands of Kandoray” and "I’m in Love With You” will soothe the ear that likes —-’odv and there are at least two topical songs distinctly worth while. A fleeting fame and much ap plause went to a scantily clad and limber contortionistlc dancer who was unnrocrammed. Irene Dunne who has been coming along nicely has her most pre tentious role as "Baby Blue.” She sings adequately and is both graceful and alluring when she elects to dance. Ray Raymond, Esther Muir. James E. Sullivan, Arthur Aylesworth, Rose Kessner. Walter Lawrence, Helen Wehrle, Helen LaVonne and Paul Porter are the others among the cast of principals who strive and attain goal during the evening. The piece has been handsomely mounted and the costumes, fresh and and colorful, are worthy of the new production.—A- R. K. NATIONAL— *The Poor Nut” In “The Poor Nut” Eliiott Nugent has brought to the Na tional Theater this week a spark- Bng comedy of college life as thoroughly saturated with -laugh ter the earlier Nugent collate ►'oration, "Kempy,” which delight ed'" Washington not so many months back. With this latest offering on display, the evidence appears conclusive that the younger Nugent is more than a chip off the old block; rather an other Nugent. as worthy a comedian as the Dad who brought him up and helps him to write P1 "The Poor Nut” (which at any other college might be the label applied to a "weir,” "grind, or “flat tire”) is the interesting story of a collegiate mipfit who achieves Phi Beta Kappa, but scorns it; who would sell his birthright to knowledge for the lesser but more glorified items of campus-wide popularity and vic tories of the field. Those who refuse to believe plays of college life can be either interesting or convincing are, pleasantly fooled with “The I°° r Nut.” In it have been realistical ]y woven the traditions and spirit of fraternity life as cur rently lived at our best colleges. The humor, the excitement, the tragedy of trivial affaires which loom so large at that glorious age, are all packed into “The Poor Nut.” The winning of a track meet becomes so important an event by the close of the second act that the audience it self throws off the years and lets its heart scamper with the scan dalously high throb of youth. Florence Shirley and Norma Lee, co-eds of no mean attrac tion, are the means of psycho analyzing Nugent, the "Nut,” into the more accepted standard of "regularity.” Others of the cast are especially well cast for the respective specimens of col legiate types. For a one-evening course in the present day method of turn ing a much ridiculed, self-effacing student into the self-assertive youth so universally recognized as the wholesome product of our colleges, "The Poor Nut” is a delight. Perhaps it is not too strictly fresh to say that last night, at least, Elliott' Nugent knew his eggs. C. L. M. Benny Leonard A good time was had by all at Keith’s yesterday, which marked the inauguration of the annual N. V. A. week. The audience was given a pleas ant surprise difilng the course of Jim McWilliams’ act when this “planutist” called Brooke Johns to the stage, Mr. Johns having journeyed down from New York to be with the audience last night. It was a great reunion- Mr. McWilliams proved to be the unqualified comedy hit of the evening on the regular bill. He liossesses a wonderful stage per sonality. His act consists mostly of Starting to sing or play and then changing his mind, but the few brief snatches he does man- age to get on the piano makes one wish that he would really play ~>ore. _ A novelty for American audiences, is furnished by The Royal Sia mese Entertainers, a troupe im ported from Siam. They present native dances ip the accompani ment of a native Siamese or chestra. Princess Mon Luang Sud Chitra is the feature dancer. I am barred from any comment on the dancing by the fact that I wouldn’t know good Siamese danc if I saw it. It is utterly dif ferent but probably more beauti ful than some of our ball-room postures. An exhibition of Takraw, the national game of Siam, is given, which shows high skill on the part of the players. It is enough to make an American juggler turn ifreen with envy- Irene Ricardo proved a hit with her skit, “Whoa Pagliaccl.” She responded to a number of encores, always managing to leave the audience laughing. Benny Leonard, the lightweight boxing champion of America, is presented in a sketch with George Mayo and Charlie Marsh. Mr. Leonard does ve—- well and his methods for “retaining that girl ish figure’' will doubtless hold the interest of every woman who goes to Keith’s this week. Ted and Kathryn Andrews offer a colorful and artistic dance revus. Frederick Cromweed does quite a good job at the piano. A woman wire walker who uses neither ’'rella nor pole is Michua, the “Brazilian wonder.” This lady is the best wire walker we have seen so far in our num ber of days. Jack Hewitt and Fred Hall are heard in a number of songs, modern and otherwise The Med leys conclude the bill with a series of acrobatic stunts, cleverly staged The usual film features are shown.—J. W. B. EARLE— Vaudeville With the Dolly Davis Revue in the lead and everything else on the program pushing strong for second place, the vaudeville bill at the Earle proves to be one of The best the new’ theater has presented. The Camille Trio opened the program with a wild act in which they all but wrecked _the entire layout of bars on which They later pei formed in a manner quite un usual. They w’ere followed by Rose and Bunny Brill, who had an act that had one outstanding fault. It was too short If left to the-audience, the two girls would have stayed indefinitely. Gladys Ruckridge and Wily Casey contributed to the cause with a nice number that em braced some very good singing and dancing that was no less pleasing. Athol Tier, with his grotesque dancing and clever comedv wptk, nut the "Oddities of ’25” over with a bang. Nn less pleasing was Janet of France in a nfquant mus’ml plavlet entitled "A Little Touch of Par’s!” The audience liked ’em. The Dollv Davis Revue embraced everything the old time minstrel show ever bad. and then added a little more. Ven’ n'cely staged and ”ful!a nen The screen offering brings F’or nnce V’dor tn the fore in "The Mirage.” It Is the old. old story of a small town g’rl who goes on the stage ard is almost lost in the mad whirl of metropolitan life. THE WASHINGTON TIMES t( White Cargo’ 'WHi L 1 Wbw L 1 W W I Bv I SKHt V S B|F RV J** wig W I Sfl ■r JOL SB MB ■Mr--’A W i B H- A scene between two of the m«ny interesting types found in the stirring drama of the tropics which opened at the President The ater last night and played ta a capacity house that taxed even standing room. QUALITY films across THE SCREENS RIALTO— “The Last Laugh” There are some great things which beggar appraisal by the average mind. Any critic oCbio tioir pictures (not to say that they all have average. minds) must feel this. after seeing “The Last Laugh,” Germany’s greatest con tribution to screen, which makes sorpe of our own machine-made films look appallingly cheap. This wonderful picture is show ing at the Rialto Theater this w’eek, under the auspices of Carl Laemmle. You have heard so much in ad vance of “The Last Laugh" that it is scarcely worth while to give a detailed account of the plot. The plot is this: An aging hotel carriage-starter is deposed from his job and sent to work in the lavatory. His splendid coat is taken aw’ay from him. His neighbors scorn him.. But where is the love interest, you ask? Isn't there any hero ine? No jazz? There isn’t any. But there is a happy ending; thrust upon the picture in such an ingratiating way that It is both welcome and enjoyable. There are quiet thrills, suspense and comedy. More than all else, there is r humanity. Emil Jannlngs towers above the others in the cast like a giant among pygmies. In ’’The Last Laugh,” he gives one of the greatest characters to the silent drama. There are other good ac tors hi the picture, but their names would mean nothing to you. The photography has seldom, if ever been equalled- There are no subtitles, and most of the ac tion is not carried on by words, but by pantomime. It is seldom, indeed, that we see any .important bit in "The Last Laugh” wherein the lips are moving in speech. F. W. Murnau, the director, is being brought to Hollywood, Hollywood needs him. The other features of the bill are excellent. The program opens with Mischa Guterson’s excellent Dazzled and bewildered by flat tery and adulation, and groping vainly for happiness in the strange world, she learns that contentment and happiness can only be found with the old friends in her home town. JThe usual comedy and news reel and the organ solo by Arthur Flagel finish out the bill. —J. S. STRAND— Lopez Orchestra Co-headed by Pee Wee Myers and Ford Hanford and the V incent Lopez Club Orchestra, making its premier stage appearance, the Strand vaudeville program of five acts this week is a bargain in mirth and music.

Battery and Radio Service Romping Around the Radio Dial Li.— By Listener-In The recent decision of the Public Utilities Commission regarding the valuation of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company may have far-reaching effects on the local broadcasting situation. The commission refused to in clude the value of the broadcasting station in its valuation of the com pany. making it necessary for the telephone company to operate the broadcasting business separately. Four courses of action are open: !To continue to operate on a pay basis as at present: to move the station to Baltimore: to operate here on the same basis as WRC. or to discontinue broadcasting al together. If WCAP continues to operate on a paying basis as it is now —that is charging to broadcast its enter tainment —we will probably con tinue to have poor entertainment, at least through the summer. If they move to Baltimore they may receive more co-operation from the city government. Recently they gained a favorable court decision on rates in which indi cates that they might enjoy more freedom over there. And if WCAP decides to reverse its past policy and begin free broadcasting, it will mean a com petitive war for features between the two local stations. This would probably mean that WCAP would improve its entertainment and that both stations would find themselves short of good local entertainment and would draw more on their New York stations. The situation at present is illog ical and unsoundly based, with one station on a free policy and the other charging. For instance, one of Washington’s hotel orchestras is paying WCAP to broadcast their music here in Washington, while another orchestra is getting its music broadcast through WRC, WJZ. New York; WGY, Schenec tady, and WBZ. Springfield, the last-named two being among the most powerful in the country, free of charge. V Because of this inconsistency, WCAP is finding it harder and harder to get money for its broad casting. Recently it lost La Java from the paying lists and a little longer ago the Black and White Taxi Orchestra dropped out of the game. Nelson Bell, announcer for Cran dall’s Saturday Nighters, gave us a welcome announcement Saturday night when he said that the Cran dall Entertainers have been given permission to broadcast songs copy righted by tbe Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers. Probably many\ listeners didn’; realize Saturday that they were hearing several numbers that they had never heard from WRC's microphone before. Ever since it was established the Park road sta tion has been handicapped because of the fact that it could not broad cast the copyrighted pieces. The Crandall action may now open the way for other regular entertainers on WRC’s programs to obtain permission, to use the society’s stuff. Already at least one of the weekly WRC orchestras has started a move in this j direction. The first, of a series of college re-unions over the radio will be broadcast by WGN, Chicago, April 22, with a Notre Dame Night. Alumni of the famous Indiana school will assemble in sixty-eight cities throughout the country to listen to the program. Other college re-uni‘ n c will follow the Notre Dame night. RADIO AUTOS USED BY SCOTLAND YARD MEN The detectives of Scotland Yard, the world-famous headquarters of London’s police, are now using mys tery automobiles which are pro vided with radio receiving and seni i ing sets. Thus, the automobile can be rushed almost immediately to the scene of a crime and mucn more rapid work can be done in run ning down the criminals. So successful have radios proved is this work that it is believed that the entire system of crime de tection throughout the British 1.,1es may soon be placed upon a radio basis.

The National Daily HOUSEHOLD HINTS WoaAing Rag Ruga Electrically By SALLY E. DAVIDSON During recent years the attractive old-fashioned rag rug has again come into popular use. Personally I think there is nothing quite so charming find colorful for bedrooms, bathrooms and halls, and surely nothing so sanitary, as the wash able rag rug. Many people seem to be of the opinion that rag rugs are only adaptable for use in country houses, but it is perfectly good taste to use them in the bed chambers, halls and bathrooms of suburban homes and city apartments and many people who go in for colonial or wicker furnishings also use them in their living rooms. Such rugs tire quite inexpensive and durable. Personally, I have had some rag I ruge for as long as ten years and 1 they are still in fairly good con i d:tion though they have been fre j quently washed. Washing Rag Rugs. A great deal, of course, depends j upon the way one washes and dries rugs of this kind I have known instances where rag rugs after be ing washed once could never again be used because they had absolutely lost their shape. This Is not at all necessary if certain definite directions for wash ing and drying are followed. In a sense there is an analogy be tween washing wool sweaters and rag rugs. One person will waAh and dry a wool sweater and it will look as good as new, while another will shrink or stretch it until it is shape less. So it is with rag rugs. I have found after much ex perience in washing rag rugs that the safest way is to wash them one at a time in the electric washer. This for two reasons. Firstly, bfing quite dirty, one is able to extract more dirt from them when washed one at a time, and secondly, they will not discolor one another. This is really very Important, for a friend of mine absolutely ruined her two rugs when she Washed one of an old-rose color and another in shades of blue at the same time. The rose ran into the white of the blue rug and the blue over the rose. The water need not be very warm, in fact, I have been most successful when I washed rag rugs in luke-warm water to which I added two large tablespoonsfuls of ammonia and a cupful of washing powder. s Usually it is better if the electric washer is run about double the time it takes for an ordinary washerful of clothes. Then the rugs should be rinse-3 twice, once in lukewarm water and the next time in cold water. If a rug is rectangular or square it may be folded and put through the wringer of the electrio- washer the long or short way. But when such a rug is round or oval more care should be given to its folding before putting it through the wringer. First one should fold the outside edges inward, then refold in half and then put through the wringer A Plan for Square Deal Husbands First—Determine to give your wife a Sunnysuds Washing Machine.

When one lives out in the country or in the city where there* is a backyard with a little patch of grass, the drying of a rag rug is simplified, for all that one need do is to lay the rug out on the grass and let it dry. However, discretion should be used about letting it dry in the strong sun. I always put my rugs out after sundown and leave them out all night, that is, provided there is no possibility of rain. A square or oblong rug may also be dried upon a clothes line, but it should be hung double and never by the edge. WTth round or oval rugs it is almost Impossible to dry them In this manner and yet have them retain their shape. So the best one may do is to place them on a thick layer of paper in some out-of-the way corner and let them take their own time drying.

W. Main 73«0 the drying may 'be considerably speeded up by using it. Coloring Faded Rugs. When, after several washings, a rag rug begins to lose its color and to have a faded look you can easily color it. The rug must be washed first. Then dilute one or two packages of cotton material cooking dye and add to it the amount of water you think will be necessary for the rug. If it is a "three bv six” rug about a quart of water will be needed. Add one cup of salt and one-half cup' of vifiegar and boil for fifteen minutee. Remove it from the electric range, strain and cool. Then ‘spread your rug over a padding, of newspapers, take a medium-sised paint brush and apply the color as though you were paint* ing a wall or floor. Don’t try for evenness because you will not get it and that is precisely what is interesting when the rug dries. The unevenness of the color gives the rug a really interesting texture which it rarely possesses "when new. If after the first application of dye the color is not deep or definite enough apply another coat.' To facilitate the drying of dyed rugs so the dye will not percolate through The rug to the papers use your electric fan. Thus the* dye will do the rug the most good and not be wasted upon the When recoloring a rag rug I always have the rug laid out flat and properly stretched 100 PITTSBURGH DINERS GET PTOMAINE POISONING PITTSBURGH, April 13.—More than 100 residents of the South Hills section who attended a ban quet of the Adah Chapter, No. 54.
