BROWNING LIKED HER, SHE SIHS Sylvia Mullen, 12, Asserts Millionaire Promised to Adopt Her, Too By I»tfraition»l News Service NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—“ Sylvia Mullen is a very charming little girl, but I certainly have no in tention of adopting her. She is just one of the 12,000 to me.” Edward W. Browning, the tall, debonair, fifty-year-old millionaire real estate operator, whose adop tion of pretty Mary Louise Spas has drawn a swirl of public criti cism about his head, made this statement today. It was his reply to the story told by dainty, golden-haired Sylvia twelve years old, whose dis appearance from her home caused a city-wide pdlice search. While the authorities were looking for her she returned home with a story that Browning was going to adopt her. Story Causes Furore. Her announcement, coming at a time when the district attorney was about to institute an official inves vgation of the unusual circum stances of the adoption as Mary Louise, caused a furofe. Sylvia was one of the 12,000 girls who applied to Browning when he announced he wanted to adopt a poor girl who would be a companion to his adopted daughter, Dorothy Sunshine. Mary Louise Spas was selected by Browning. Sylvia was said to be a “close runner-up” in the “contest” —his second choice, in fact. “I am not going to adopt Sylvia, or anyone else,” Browning said to day. “I hardly know her. “Sylvia came to my office yes terday afternoon, as did many other girls who wanted to be adopt ed by me. aad she congratulated Mary Louise. “We had lunch together—a group of us—but that’s all there was to it.” Browning Suggests Party Sylvia’s story was that she went to Browning’s office to see Mary’s pretty new clothes and jewels, and Max said to think what she missed. While there, she said Browning suggested a party and she, Mary and the millionaire went to his palatial apartment at the Kew Gardens Inn where they had a “glorious time.” Sylvia neglected to tell her mother when she was going. Dark ness came on. Her mother became alarmed and notified the police. “Mr. Browning said that in just two weeks he’s going to adopt me,’ said Sylvia. “Think of it —fm going to be a Cinderella too!” Mary Louise, meanwhile, having read the furore of criticlsnj from public officials, was on the verge of tears. “Isn’t it terrible t she said. “I (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.)

MacMillan Airplanes Are Giving Him Trouble Considerable difficulty is being encountered by Lieutenant Com mander R. E. Byrd with the air planes taken north with the MacMillan arctic expedition, ac cording to a dispatch to the Navy Department today. Both planes, the NA-2 and NA-3, could not take off from the water when fully loaded, Byrd radioed, and it is neces sary to move some of the gas equipment forward in the hull. Today both planes were sched uled to hop off at Etah for Ellsmere Land on a reconais sance trip to select a suitable place for locating the first base. Byrd paid tribute to the naval mechanics. “The men with me are tire less in coping with adverse op erating conditions,” he reports.

Rob bins; of 1238 Monroe street north east, will be released from cus tody today because Robbins does not wish to prosecute. “They just didn’t realize what they were doing,” said Robbins today when he came to Washing ton police headquarters where news of the arrest was received. She Kept on Going It was at the Plaza Hotel at First and D streets northeast last night that one of the girls decided she wanted to try out Robbins* new car. He gave her permission to drive around the block—but some how or other —she kept on going. It dawned on Robbins later that his nice new machine was in strange hands, possibly incompetent hands, eo he asked the police to help him locate his erstwhile companidns- He guessed that they might make for hpme —Baltimore, so he called up that city too. In view of the fact that Robbins does not wish to prosecute, he will be given hie automobile today when he goes to Baltimore and the police there will receive instructions to re lease the young women. Story Told By Girls Lucille Rain, of 2123 Dillon street. Baltimore and Virginia Deerehue, of 2307 Eutaw Place, Baltimore, both twenty-one years old, were arrested at 2 o’clock this morning by Balti more police. The machine in which the girls were riding, and which Lucille was driving, was stolen in Washington last night, it was charged. Clarence A. Robbins, of 1238 Mon roe street northwest, Washington, told the local police last night his car had been stolen, and he thought it was taken to Baltimore. The dou ble arrest followed. The girls say they were out on a party with Robbins and another man, and stopped at his house for several drinks. Later the girls sug gested going out for sandwiches, and then decided to go to Balti more. Sudden Service! rjrzASHINGTON baseball fans were given rr unprecedented service by The Times yesterday. Exactly ll J 2 minutes after the end of the first game, the Green Edition, containing a play-by-play report and complete box score, was distributed in the grandstands and bleachers at the ball park.

Mr. Holtzman had been called as a witness for the Government in the case of Zenns E. Thorpe, charged with driving an automo bile while under the influence of liquor. Had Just Taken Stand Mr. Holtzman had just taken the witness stand and had barely finished giving his name and oc cupation to the cTerk, after being sworn, when he collapsed in his chair. He was removed to an adjoin ing witness room and first aid treatment given him by court at taches until an ambulance from Emergency Hospital arrived, about ten minutes later. "When the am bulance arrived the attending physician pronouced him dead. Here Forty Years Mr. Holtzman was one of the oldest and most prominent real estate men in Washington. He was born In Rappahannock coun ty, Va., and came to Washington about forty years ago, when he engaged in the real estate business and also practiced law. Mr. Holzman was a bachelor.

EDITiON AERIAL PARADE TO START BIG CIRCUS Will Circle Capitol and Wind Up With Altitude Flight Over Hearst Building Things will be “looking up” for Washingtonians tomorrow, starting at noon, when The Times’ free three-day air circus begins. The big show will start with an aerial parade by Gates Flying Circus over the National Capital, around the Washington Monument and Capitol and winding up at the Hearst Building, 1321 H street northwest. Two interesting events will take place over the Hearst Building at 12:30 o’clock. First there will be a series of spectacular and hair raising stunts by the “Rough Riders of the Air” and then will follow an altitude flight ..which ought to command more than ordi nary attention because it will mean free airplane flights to five Wash ingtonians. Details of Flight Here are the details of the alti tude flight: One of the aviators in the Gates Flying Circus troupe will start aloft after the others have de parted tor the donated avia tion field where the three-day circus will be put on. When he has at tained a certain altitude he will drop several explosive bombs to at tract and then remain at that same altitude for five minutes. The first five persons who come nearest to estimating the actual alti tude attained at the time the bomb explodes, will receive from The Times free tickets for airplane flights at College Park, Md., Mon day afternoon. All estimates of the altitude must be in the hands of the Air Circus Editor of The Times by noon Sunday. The winners will be notified by telephone or mes senger.

Seized Dy Folice’While Distribut- ing Circulars Thomas L. Avaunt, head of the Protestant Knights of America, avowed enemy of the Ku Klux Klan, was released from the cus tody of the police shortly before noon today,, following his arrest earlier this morning for distribut ing anti-klan circulars on Penn sylvania avenue. Avaunt was arrested with an associate at Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue by Traffic Policeman Joseph Sincavitz, on complaint of Traffic Inspector Brown, and was held at the First precinct station, with no charge against his name, for investiga tion. Wanted to Go to Court An effort was made, after Avaunt’s arrest, to have him held on a charge of attempting to in cite a riot. The accused man pro tested that he was supposed to go before Justice Siddons in the Dis trict Supreme Court during the morning, but he was unheeded. He said other litigation was pend ing there. In the meantime, legal" minds were working over the suggested charge against the foe of the K. K. K. The handbills distributed by Avaunt were examined by District Corporation Counsel Frank Steph ens. He told the police that the charge of attempt to Incite rioting must be brought on a grand jury indictment. Avaunt Then Released Shortly after this decision was handed down, Avaunt was released. It is possible he may yet Invoke an old local law to stop the Klan parade, contending it is to" be an assembly of more than 500 people, and likely to cause trouble. The circulars he was distributing last night were headed: “Washing tonians, Arise and Stop This Farce With a Legal War.” Today the handbills were en titled, “Stop the Ku Klux Klan Parade!” and read: Text of Circular “All Christian men and women bow their heads In shame when they know the streets of their city may soon be bathed in blood. Those of us who are Christians and be lieve In law and order cannot forget the scores of cities where similar parades of the K. K. K. have been the cause of murder and bloodshed and without a minute’s notice men and women have been shot down. Hiram W.

2 FIERY CROSS TO BE LIGHTED AT ARLINGTON PARK ON SUNDAY WILLNIARK [NO OF FETE (Continued from First Page.) Massachusetts avenue northwest and who spends a few hours week' ly in his office, 309 Southern build ing, cares little for any fatal re sults of this or any other parade, so long as his dream of gold taint ed with blood flows into his cof fers. “The local representative of the klan, L. A. Mueller, alias Miller, who maintains an office in 404 In ternational building and who is planning the Klan parade, should be placed in jail.’* Avaunt May Act The bills were supposed generally to refer to the proposed injunction proceedings, under an old District law, to prevent assembly of more than 500 persons, if disorder is im minent. It is likely that Avaunt himself may take steps at the eleventh hour to ask the District Supreme Court for a temporary injunction against the parade on these grounds. So far, however, he has not indicated that he will make such a move. Klan Planning End of 2-Day Celebration With Big Fiery Cross The fiery cross of the Ku Klux Kian will light Virginia skies Sun day night, when one of the largest national “naturalisation” ceremonies is to be held by the assembled hosts of the K. K. K. This event, to ’e held at the Na tional Capital Horse Show grounds, at Arlington Park, _Va., will be the climax of the two-day demonstration in the District. Washington klansnien, working day and night, have set the stage for the parade up Pennsylvania avenue tomorrow, when between 50.000 and 100.000 men and women members of the organization are expected to march. General headquarters was opened today for both the men’s and wom en’s branches in the New Willard Hotel. Here Grand Kleagle L. A. Mueller mV the throngs of visitors and his assistants directed them to lodging places. Kleagle Mueller today declared that his refusal to furnish figures on the number of prospective paraders was based on the‘"jockey ing back and forth” of railroad pas senger associations. He nefterated that he did not know how many would march. "I never said, when I asked for the permit to parade, that there would be 150,000 persons in the parade, as has been attributed to me,” said Kleagle Mueller. "I stated that about 150,000 people would be in the city "Now I don’t know how many are going to be in the parade, or how long it ill take, or how many people are going to be in the city. “What I can say is that the re sponse of klansmen and women to invitations to take part in a local demonstration—because this is all the work of ti e local klan —has far exceeded my expectations, and is very gratifying. "I can’t tell how manv ahe going to march on account of the jockey ing back and forth of railroad pas senger associations, in regard to rates to Washington." Kleagle Mueller stated that the ceremonies at the Sylvan Theater on the Wessington Monument grounds, after the parade, will con clude the activities tomorrow. He said a demonstration was planned for Sunday, at thee horse show grounds, but could say little about ft. until the committee in charge of the feature reported back to him. According to -«reports from Ar lington county, Va., considerable activity is evident among the kians men, tyomen and boys—the juve nile branch having been organized recently. The county is expected to con tribute more than 1,000 marchers to the parade, and an even larger representation at the Sunday night ceremonies. In the Sunday night "naturaliza tion” class, it was said, will exceed 1,000. •At least 250 United States Marines, under the command of Colonel George W. will patrol the Washington Monument grounds tomorrow' afternoon, while the klan services are in progress. Roped aisles will be cut through the crowd, with numerous spur lines, to prevent overcrowding or confusion before and after the ceremonies. According to the terms of the permit granted to the klan, -the af fair on the Monument grounds must be conducted without regalia, and no political agitation in. s he speeches will be allowed. The I ceremony must restrict itself to a purely reiigious and fraternal nature.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES Leopold Wins His Bet 4 Would Not Hang By International News Service CHICAGO, Aug. 7,—Nathan Leopold today had won his grim “Parlay” wager with death. His bet that four slayers would not hang went over/ More than a year ago, while a nation’s attention was focused on “Babe” and his companion in his “crime for a thrill”— the slaying of little Bobby Franks —while the two dapper college youths stood in the shadow of the gallows, Leopold proposed his bet to newspapermen who were gathered for their daily interview. e "Let's bet on whether or not I" hang.” he urged newspapermen. "Tell you what I’ll do, I’ll make a parlay bet with you. We’ll enter Bernard Grant. Russell Scotl. Loeb and I—none of us to hang.” That was a *y9ar ago. and at that time, the hempen noose dangled close to all three' A short time later, Judge John R. Caverly read his decision which sent Babe and Dicky Loeo to the State penitentiry at Joliet "for life and ninety-nine years.” Time went on and while attorneys were fighting for a reprieve for Bernard Grant, convicted on par ticipation in a tea store robbery tn which Patrolman Ralph Souder was slain, the boys whose hair had turned gray as he waited in prison walls for execution, was attacked and alain in the jail audience room by his alleged companion in the crime. And yesterday, a jurj’ brought in a verdict that Scott, condemned slayer of Joseph Maurer, loop drug store clerk, was “insane.” Babe's last "horse’' had "gone over.” ASYimiEADY TO RECEIVE SCOTT Convicted Slayer, Saved From Death Four Times, to Die If Mind Is Restored By International Mows Service CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Russell Scott was to be taken to the Chester Asylum for the criminal insane today, supposedly to pass the remainder of his life as a murderous lunatic. Thus ends the slaver’s long battle to escape the gallows to which he had been sen tenced and from which he had been three times reprieved. A jury, impaneled to determine Scott’s mental condition, returned an insanity verdict after three hours and forty-five minutes’ de liberation. Four ballots were taken. Complying with the law, Judgle Joseph David entered an order committing the convicted slayer of Joseph Maurer to Ches ter. i To Hang If He Recovers If ever, in the judgment of the doctors at Chester, Scott should re- cover his sanity, he will be return- ed to Cook county for the hanging which he has thrice escaped by last- minute stays. There was no demonstration in the court-room when the verdict was announced, read and recorded. Judge David had threatened jail sentences for any who should seek to make a display of feeling. With the reading of the jury’s findings, “We the jury find that Russell T. Scott became a lunatic or insane since the 14th day of Feb ruary, 1925.” there was a turning of heads to observe the effect of the words on Scott’s wife and on his mother, who were seated in the first row behind the railing. The two, with bowed heads, were weep- |ng. If it was a victory, it seemed an empty one. Army Orders Coast Artillery—Captain Carl L.

TAe National Daily MOVIE CONTEST IS AROUSING INTEREST Large Number of Letters At tests to Popularity of Screen Judging by the number of letters received, there arc quite a number of Washingtonians who know ex actly what the motion picture means to them and their commu nity and all of them 'have a clever way of expressing their thoughts in brief epistles. Each day bring*! a large number of letters for the Greater Movie Sea son Contest which The Times is offering its readers, along with the leading newspapers in one hundred other American cities.

Today the Times publishes a sample of a letter on "What the Motion Picture Means to Me,” publication of which does not nec essarily mean that it will be among 1 the prize winners. By FRANK O. KLAPP' 1133 Euclid Street Northwest “I like to. think of the motion picture as a nuclus around which a community builds its friendships. It is pleasant to hear the neigh borly invitation of ‘come along to the movies with us.’ I get a lot of pleasure from the front row laughter of the children and the grown ups’ sly winks as the comedy is shown. ‘What,’ I asked an old frieneft ‘do you think of the Sunday motion picture shows?’ ‘Well, I’ll tell you there aren’t many places where you can .throw i a rope around one or two thou sand persons and find them in less devilment than at a picture ’show,’ he replied. “That is probably true. One doesn’t see many children running the streets at night. They have all gone to see Charlie. The young men who seem to enjoy tne appearance of being loafers get restless about 9 o’clock and soon the gang goes to the nearby 'movie show.’ Even mother and dad forget the trials of the day just closed and enjoy the make believe world of the screen. "During the recent war, the motion picture theatre proved its existence for other than cial purposes. The various ‘drives* found best expression in the neigh borhood theatres. The great amount subscribed proved hew easily the heart of the American people was reached through mo tion pictures. “A few weeks ago a church burned in a little Western town. The following Sunday's services were held in the auditorium of the ‘movie’ theatre. The ease with which various community clubs ob tain the use of the theatre in the afternoon has brought the fact before the people tnat not only are motion pictures an asset to the exhibitors, but that, through them,' the community is being served and strengthened in manv ways.” You will not find it difficult in write a 300-word letter on the movies. Everybody has thoughts about them and your thoughts to day may mean a wonderful trip for you, so send in a flock of letters. fEgWySafc Milk Y For Infants, Invalids, the Aged, Nursing Mothers, Children, etc. 3vzfyunaina Chi&fiien Contains the valuable muscle and bone building elements found in the grain and whole milk.

Wows Servlet ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug. 7.—Peace talk today overshadowed strike threats in the menacing Operators-Miners wage contro versy. Hope of averting'a strike of 158,000 anthracite miners on September, 1, was revived by a conciliatory move on the part of Samuel D. Warriner, chairman of the Anthracite Operators* confer ence. Replying to a letter from John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, which precipitated the break-up of the conferences, Warriner said: Miners Are Anxious "In spite of the terms of your letter and the breaking off of ne gotiations, I am hopeful that means will be found to compose the dif ference between us, and avoid a suspension of production. Every consideration demands that this be done." Lewis was understood this morning to be drafting a reply to Warriner. It Was said on good authority that Lewis’ reply will also be concilia tory. A few hours before Wgrriner wrote to Lewis ilast night, Lewis, in an interview with International Nevpg Service, expressed his regrec that negotiations had been broken off and asserted that the miners as a body were anxious to avoid -a strike. It is now expected that there will be an exchange of communications between miners and operators, and that negotiations will be resumed in a final .effort to prevent a sus pension of mining, when the miners’ contract expires at mid night. August 31. Denies Motives Warriner’s letter was the out come of a prolonged conference of the operators in Philadelphia last night. Warriner told Lewis he had "taken the grave responsibility of abruptly terminating the negotia tions." He said Lewis was mistak en in his statement that the operat ors desired to reduce wages In order to increase profit margins. He denied the operators vetoed "every constructive suggestion" the miners made in the conferences. Lewis said he would not discuss Warriner’s communication with newspaper men. His only remark was that “Mr. Warriner’s change of pdsitlon upon relatively unim portant points is interesting." In view of the indicated peace moves, representatives of both operators and miners, who were preparing to depart from Atlantic City, decided to remain a few days longer. SEC.

DR. CRANE, NOTED INSPIRATIONAL WRITER, STARTED AT $l A DAY MDTIVEIS TO HTTP MEN Refuses SI,OOO a Page to Write Ads—Giving Life to Editorial Work By R. G. PATTERSON NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—As I sat opposite Doctor Frank Crane at a broad flat-topped desk in his com modious study, I was impressed by the great breadth and depth of his human sympathy, his anxiety to serve his fellow men. Os course I knew that originally the church had been his calling and that as a young man he had dedicated his life to such a service. But I had felt that possibly it was either a latent literary talent asserting it selfj>r a desire to preach through the press rather than from the pulpit that switched his course and converted him into one of the world’s foremost newspaper fea ture writers. It was surprising to learn it was wholly another motive changed his career— a sincere sympathy for human foibles and a deep-seated yearn ing to serve mankind. Long Sermons Unpopular “Early in my life as a preacher,” he told me when I asked how it came about, “I learned that people didn’t want to hear long sermons. So I made mine short. They never ran over twenty-five minutes. In that space I generally tried to de velop five outstanding points. Grad ually I discovered even this was too much. In overhearing com ments 'about them after their de livery it became apparent to me that most people carried away only one point, never more than two. The other three were wasted.” Doctor Crane opened a volume of his editorials lying on the desk to i show me the brevity of his articles. One Point at Time x “This set me to thinking,” he proceeded. “If people only seemed to grasp one point at a time, why not give it to them just that way? “But I found that the clear and concise development of one point was not enough even for a short twenty-five minute sermon. I also learned that some let their atten tion wander when sitting through any sermon, no matter how long or short. “There always would be a few who would lose something essential. I felt if they could see this one point briefly stated right before their eyes in print it would im press it on their minds as no speaker could possibly do.” So Doctor Crane resigned his pas torate in Worcester, Mass., and came to New York to try out his idea. It was a told step. But he w’as willing to risk it as he was convinced he had something ser viceable for the world. Although prior to that timp he had written considerably for church periodicals he practically was unknown. He tramped the beaten paths to edi torial offices, finding it difficult to get a hearing. Finally a syndicate editor thought he would take a chance on “this Crane stuff.” He wasn’t at all sure it would go—rather doubted it, in sact —and offered Doctor Crane $1 a day to write six editorials a week. This wasn’t even a clergyman’s sal ary. But it was all he could get, so Doctor Crane accepted it, so great was his faith in his idea and his desire to serve people by help ing them solve their daily diffi culties. That was less than fifteen years ago. Today his editorial probably is the biggest syndicated feature 1n the world. -J First Offer Rejected When his reputation had grown so that his editorials began com manding some attention Doctor Crane offered his services exclusive ly to a prominent metropolitan pub lisher and editor' for $7,500 a year and was willing to sign a contract tor that amount annually for life. But the editor did not feel Doctor Crane’s fame or ability warranted such a salary and rejected the of fer. This saiAe editor now is pay ing many times >7,500 a year for merely certain territory rights in Doctor Crane’s daily editorials. Doctor Crane’s idea took a deep hold on the public. He was per suaded to sign a long-time con tract with a syndicate which issued a blanket service consisting of a number of features, all of which had to be ordered to get any one of them. Naturally this had its limitations tor Doctor Crane, con siderably narrowing the newspaper audienceZhe wished to reach.

His life motive is to help man kind. reputation grew tremendously everywhere and he had many imi tators. Not only did he become widely known from one end of the United States to the other, quoted from pulpit and platform, but his editorials found vast newspaper audiences in many other countries. Soon after signing his contract two years ago with the McClure News paper Syndicate, his editorial feature was placed in over two hundred leading American newspapers—in cluding Porto Rico, Honolulu, and Manila —and in England, Canada, France, Scandinavia, Denmark, Austria, South Africa, India, Aus tralia, Japan, Mexico and Cuba. At the time magsysines were ex ploiting him. One featured his photograph in colors on its front cover. He contributed to the Cen tury, Atlantic Monthly, American, Collier’s, Life, Liberty, Printer’s Ink, Physical Culture, Short Stor ies, Smart Set, True Romance, As sociation Men, Red Cross,, and many others. Becomes Magazine Editor In 1917 he became editor of Democracy, a magazine largely de voting itself to the republication of his newspaper editorials which now had become famous. Democ racy in 1920 was merged with Cur rent Opinion, of which Doctor Crane became co-editor with the late Edward J. Wheeler, oi whose death in 1922 he became sole editor-1 in-ch'ief. Publishers, noting his rapid rise as a literary figure with such a gift for striking the popular vein, vied with each other in bringing out his books. Many thousands of sets ot his well-known “Four Minute Essays” in ,ten volumes and an equally impressive number of the ten volumes of his more profound works have been sold in this coun- try and abroad. His newest book,! “Why I Am a Christian,” will soon appear in America, following its I introduction in England, where It i first was brought out. Offered SI,OOO An Ad The demands for Btoctor Crane’sl writings not onty have been from i newspapers, magazines and pub-1 lishing houses. Many business con-1 cerns have importuned him to write their advertising, offering him as J much as SI,OOO for copy for a page advertisement. “But I have quit all this special writing for magazines and busi ness house advertising nov.*," he told me. He resigned his editorial chair on Current Opinion some time ago. "I have cut out ev/ry side issue, even my occasional platform ap pearances, unless it is for some- thing local for which I do not need to take time to make any special preparation. “Now,” he stated, “I am devoting myself solely to my daily editorials. My audience is bigger than ever, so it means even greater concentra tion on my real work. Every mo ment of thought and ounce of energy L can give are going into my daily feature for the press. I want to give my best and all I have to the many millions who read my editor ials rind who have grown to de pend on them.” Quits AU Special Writings I could not help being Impressed by the sincerity of this man who, realizing he had achieved an im portant place and had a big job, would refuse the numerous tempt ing outside offers that certainly mean additional income ib oig amounts, in order to do that job well. He knows there are over 20,000,- 000 readers waiting daily for what he has to say, who appreciate he has something to say, and never fails to say something.

E. Hull, of Peoria, 111., the only Congressman on the delegation. The construction of more and better roads in the southern coun tries to increase internal and -inter country business, will also be urged with North America cited as an example, Hull declared. The Road Congress was called following a visit here two years ago of delegates from nineteen South American countries. These became so impressed with the good roadp prevailing in the United States, and their direct influence upon tradd, prosperity, education and happiness, that they decided to ask advice and information from their northern neighbor. The North American delegates will sail from New York September 3, via the Panama Canal, stopping at Lima, Peru, and Valparaiso en route. WOMEN BOOKBINDERS GOING ON EXCURSION Women bookbinders will make merry tomorrow at Chesapeake Beach when Local No. 42 of the Women’s Bindery Union, Interna tional Brotherhood of Bookbinders, holds its annual excursion.

The committee in charge of hr rarigements is composed of the offi cers of the union—Nannie T- Daniel, president; Ida Dodge, vice president; Mrytle McAboy, recording secretary; i Minnie Flaherty, financial secretary, I and Kate V. Smoot, treasurer. I his editorials are going to the heart of the world From the voluminous personal correspondence he receives from these readers everywhere which required the services of two secretaries to answer—he knows his editorials, expressing his clear, com mon sense and sympathetic under standing, are helping thousands of struggling souls with their prob lems. A Studies His Readers "My i°b is to study people, to write for and to people,” he re sumed. “I know them enough to know they don’t want to be preached at, nor to hear me moral ize about them. They are after knowledge about themselves. That’s what they want to know—them selves. And they don’t want to be told in fancy language, but in clear, simple words they under stand on sight. They don’t want to be talked down to, nor up to, but- on a level with them, just like neighbors.” With such a conception of his job as this I realized how it was that the college professor, the high-school girl, the bishop, the actor, the grocer, the clerk, the shop girl, the club woman, the scrub woman, the business man, the financier all read Doctor Crane's editorials with such consecutive in terest. He* made it clear that IL was his chief hope to make him self considered the sincere friend of the saint and the criminal, the poor man and the rich man, the learned and the ignorant alike. Claimed By All Sects And, with it all, his main effort is to keep clear of all sectarian arguments and have the confidence of the adherents of all sects. He does this so successfully that many think he is a Roman Catholic, many think he is a Christian Sci entist, while almost every sect of Protestantism has claimed him. And some of his most enthusiastic admirers are Jews. “To tell people about themselves in dear-cut language with a punch that drives the point over every time —one point at a time—so that they will be encouraged and become self-reliant,” he concluded, “I con sider is one of the most vital ser vices‘any man can render.” DAREDEVILS TO FLY IN CIRCUS AW y—i “13 If St I \1 S X I T f A jzsaa HMMIMIIWi.

4 JEAN ELIOT’S GOSSIP OF INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATED BY BOLIVIA Bolivian Minister Here Gives Beautiful Recep tion at Pan-American mHE centennial of Bolivian inde- JL pendence was beautifully cele brated here last evening by the re ception and dance at the Pan- American Union with the Bolivian minister and Mme. Jaimes Freyre as hosts. .It served to bring together prac tically all of the officials, diplomats and other representatives of society in town. And there were many more of all sets than one would have believed except for the seeing. The reception began promptly at 10 o’clock, with the receiving party standing as usual at the entrance to the Hall of the Amer icas on the upper floor. At the head of the line was the Minister, who Introduced the guests to Mrs. Kellogg, who, in turn, passed them on to the Secretary of State, and he to Mme. Jaimes Freyre and so on down the line until Ramon Pando, Bolivian Consul General in New York, Senorita Yolanda Jaimes Freyre and Victor Jkimes Freyre, daughter and son of the hosts, and Captain Rivera, former ly military attache of the legation here, had been greeted. Mrs. Kellogg was very lovely in a cool gown of bluish gray chiffon, made on straight lines and elabo rately embroidered in crystal beads. She carried a large fan of ccque feathers, which she used frequently while standing in the receiving line. Mme. Freyre was handsome in a gown of black lace made over a purplish georgette slip. A laven dar-tinted flower at the waist-line completed the costume. The slender little daughter of the hosts was a vivacious sprite in white chiffon embroidered tn crystals and caught at the left shoulder with a white flower. Her frock was made very simply and was becom ingly short. She and her attrac tive young brother seemed to be very much»“en rapport.” At 11 o’clock an orchestra played •The Star-Spangled Banner” after which Bolivia’s national anthem was played, which marked the conclu sion of the formal reception. Then the dancing began to syncopation furnished by two colored orchestras stationed at the south end of the hall, which played alternately. Having a colored orchestra was *an innovation in Pan-American parties. Some dancers were enthu siastic about the snap and jazz of the orchestras and others were not so sure. -However, the floor was filled with dancers until well Into this morning. A buffet supper was served throughout the evening in the sec tion, usually reserved for distin guished guests, at the north end of the hall. The service table was adorned with a huge basket of hol lyhocks in the center.

Practically every one of them has a sort of Fourth of July to cele brate. which usually means one of those fascinating functions at the Pan-American. The Spanish ambassador, Senor Riano. just missed being at the re ception by having left Washington a- few hours earlier for Biltmore, N. C.. where he will visit Mrs. George Vanderbilt. Tt did not seem inapprop date *hat Ambassador Riano was absent, for while he is a nice, likable man, and while there can be little national bitterness at this date between the two countries —still little Bolivia, as well as the other South American countries, have their celebrations to a large extent, because Spain was generally objectionable. Some Among those Present The Argentine Ambassador and Mme. Pueyrredon and their three charming older daughters were there. The Pueyrredons and the Freyres are the best of friends. The tatter have spent much time in Argentina where they k:iew the Pueyrredon family long before com ing to Washington. Then there appeared for the first time at an official function in Washington the new Minister of Egypt and Mme. Samy. The most brilliant spot of color in the as semblage was the red fez on the Egyptian minister’s head. He and bis lovely wife spent much of tne evening in conversation with the Charge d’Affaires of Persia and Mme. Kazemi —the latter looking really beautiful. Another outstanding guest win the former minister of the Dominican republic, Francisco Peynado, who is in town for a tew days, having come down from New York. He, so it is reported, has the distinction of being the first defeated candidate for the presidency in his country, who congratulated his successful opponent on winning the office. This happened recently. So. it seems the "good sport” idea has gone far. Doctor Marinovltch. of the lega tion of the Serbs, Croats, and Slo venes, was there, too. He is always an outstanding figure at any func tion. It was good to see him dancing last evening.

Due to loss of bipod, Mrs. Will has been slow in recovering from the shock of the .45 caliber army automatic bullet deflected by Miss Mary Wohlford, who pushed Will’s gun down as it exploded. With the arrival of police. Will was taken to the first precinct and later to Police Court where it was decided to continue his preliminary hearing until next Thursday. He declared that the shooting was an evident and that he merely in tended to transfer the pistol to the bureau from his pocket where it was getting “heavy." Interviewed from her bed at the hospital Mrs. Will reluctantly con curred in the story of her husband that the shooting was accidental. She said that as far as she could see the pistol was pointed directly at her before it was discharged in the scuffle between Will and Miss ■Wohlford. Miss Wohlford is non committal. Out of consideration for their four chilrden now at St. Vincent’s Orphanage, the efforts toward a reconciliation between Will and hie wife, practically culminated the night before the shooting, will be continued, they said.

Though it may be a rendezvous of\ highbinders and seducers of the poor working girl, the scene of a motley variety of criminal endeavors, and the first stopping place of every British lecturer, New York is not wholly without its advantages. It offers inner-shrined favors to the alleged literati, diversions to the Don Juans from Keokuk, excellent press notices to Fred Stone and flattering homage to George Gershwin. the late Victor Herbert it accorded little; nothing to Amy Lowell; less to Nicholas Vachell Lindsay, and what Henry Hadley and Gutzon Borglum have wheedled from it is not worth setting in print. Novelty—extravagant, erotic or purely fantastic—it loves, takes to its bulbous heart and croons of to the factory-folk of Pittsburgh or the chanty-yodlers of Duluth. Mr. George Gershwin, alluded to in the second paragraph, is an instance in proof of this contention. A fatuous, fastidious case intriguing to probe. “Gershwinsomeness” threatens to expand into k definite cult with its leader heroically posed upon the shoulders of critics who once spprned the clteyer and capricious Jerome Kern. And George Gersh win, though a man of decided youth—as well as musical ado lescence—has now reached the photograph era—the softfocus photograph era. Such an omen Is dangerous— even effeminate! Adjust the magnifying glass a moment. What has New York done for this fellow who persisted in a refusal to see his "Scan dal Walk” in an early revue of Mr. White’s is. strikingly like the opening bars of Claude De bussy’s “L’Apres midi Jun Faune?” And whose tunes have been glorified by de Pax:kh or chestratiops? Come, now, let us be frank! New York, jubilant in a vain pretension that it “is America,” has chasoned Gershwin by a fanfare of orchestrated verbiage eclipsing in exotic brilliance and whimsical dissonance the Stravin sky harmonies with which he him self enthralls Max Dreyfuss, his publisher and sponsor. \The Vanity Fair clique has teamed with Paul Whiteman in placing at Gershwin’s disposal an ex ploitation machine unlike any ever known in the annals of American music. The next logical move —now that George has signed a Vanity Fair article which restates a Gilbert Seldes credo —is- a serial auto biography in the Saturday Eve ning Post, illustrated by mezzo tints of this estimable gentleman takeh when his first production “La La Lucille” was staged back in the dim dull days of 1919. After which, of course, -we of the masses may expect the charming George to forego em broidering the “Scandals” with the best music he has ever turned out. (The new "Scandals are by Ray Henderson, by. the way.) But this next logical move has not been completely made and one can well stop to inquire while awaiting it just why and what is George Gershwin? Is he the great American com poser? Hardly! Is he over-rated? Copiously! Is he a genuine or street-fair creator of tunes? Qqite decidedly the bally-hoo variety! Carl Van Vechten to the contrary and otherwise. Gershwin, lacking the melodic grace and witchery of Jerome D. Kern, whom he set out to de throne by maliciously mocking, quickly tumbled into the clutches of charlatanic methods.

And as he crowded closer to the theater, he also acquired great fame, as a sophisticate, orig inal and clever. His star was kept polished and" suspended by critical sycophants. George him self didn’t mind; despite the fact that he edged more perilously to ward the grotesque in each en suing production. Take one look at the scores to “Lady Be Good” and “Tell Me More” and it can be seen he has set out to devise little else but “tempos” with which to intrigue the versifying abilities of his Ivrlcists—-in this instance his brother and the prolific George De Sylva. That syncopation is George s patron saint goes without raying; that lack of melody is the bug aboo pursuing him need not be noted. He is as far from the musical simplicity moods of the late Victor Herbert or the present Rudolf Friml as Clarence Darrow is from fundamentalism.

I have heard one, real melody from the creative workshop of this Hebrew boy and that, “Night Time in Araby,” took on new enchantment by virtue of an almost-classic orchestral netting by, I have been told, M. De Packh. (My informant was a friend of De Packh’s.)

Gershwin, saturated with De bussy, is striving to utilize the same methods as Debussy to an entirely different end; Claude Achille, it will be remembered, sought only to construct a Maeter linckian mood, spiritualizing the lyric—if one existed —or the emo tion selected for treatment. This young New Yorker, with a cramped thought-machinery and an unsen sltive personality, seeks to pile up harmonies with marked rhyth mical stress, a scheme which de feats its purpose, since any trace of mood is instantly erased when heavy tempo is superimposed on it. This "exhibitionistic” gesture of Gerhswln’s is disconcerting. Praise and flattery added. It has rrown to malignnn!. size.

lord SLUSHING BUDGETTD cut™ Millions to Be Taken Off Esti mates Sent In—Coolidge’s Economy Policy Followed By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH Plunging into a “battle for the taxpayers,” General H. M. Lord, director of the budget, started to day the job of preparation of estimates calling for Government expenditures of approximately $3,100,000,000 for the year end ing June 30, 1927. Preliminary budget estimates will be about $290,000,000 under expenditures to be made during the present year. Under Presi dent Coolidge’s plans Government costs for 1927 will be lowest for any year since the war. Larger Cut Probable Although the present estimate of General Lord fixes the 1926 surplus at >290.000,000. tax returns, heavier than were anticipated, are expected to place the Treasury in a position to recommend a tax reduction of from >350,000,000 to >400,000,000 when Congress meets in December. If the Administration succeeds in reducing expenses in 1927, it is pos sible that the Seventieth Congress may be asked to cut taxes again, according* to Treasury officials. Preliminary estimates of the pro posed expenditures of the various Government departments for 1927 already are in the hands of the budget director. It was understood that estimates exceed the >3,100,000,000 limitation set on expenditures by several mil lion dollars, necessitating the liberal use of Lord’s pruning knife to hew them down.

More than $2,000,000,000 for home building is the figure esti mated for 1925 by the Indiana Limestone Quarrymen’s Associa tion. “A continued housing shortage remains acute in cities of over 250,000 population and in the smaller communities of 10,000 and less,” the association says. “Although more than half the population of the United States is still confined in major cities, the exodus of city dwellers to the suburbs is dotting the land scape with new homes of beauty and distinction. “That home building on a broad scale has been gaining impetus is indicated by the fact that almost 50 per cent of the 26,000,000 families in America are at the present time home owners.” mitted to 'Congress President Cool idge set aside >549,000,000 for na tional defense, to be expended by the War and Navy departments. This figure was >29,000,000 under that for 1924. At Peace with World Officials said that another reduc tion in the National defense item might be anticipated for 1927. It was stated that nothing has occurred in the international pic ture to change the President’s view that “this Nation is at peace with the world,” and that “we can have adequate national defense with a more modest outlay of the taxpay ers’ money.” The pleas of the War and Navy Departments for additional funds will go unheeded in the budget bureau’s allocation of funds. General running expenses of the Government in 1927 will be slightly higher than those of 1926, according to budget officials. who pointed out i that even consistent economy can- I not overcome the cost of the Gov ernment’s rapidly growing business. Business conditions in the next twelve months will have an im portant bearing on tax reductions in the 1927 Congress. The revenue from the corporation tax, which last year at >900,000,000 was the biggest single item of re ceipts. will climb considerably over that .figure with greater prosperity. Individual income taxes are affected by business conditions only to a slightly smaller extent. TWO BOYS DROWN AS MOTHER’S RESCUE FAILS PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.

Underwriters Plan to Take County Out of Fourth Class Rate ARLINGTON COUNTY, Aug. 7. Plans looking to a reduction in the fire insurance rates for Arlington county now are being formulated, according to C. Eugen Doyle, presi dent of the Arlington County Under writers Association. A special committee, headed by Mr. Doyle as chairman, and includ ing M. E. Church, of Falls Church, and M. N. Stone, of Clarendon, will appear before the rating bureau of Virginia the latter part of the month, at which time the entire situation will be laid before the bureau. The association, said Mr. Doyle, after a careful survey of the county, is of the opinion the county has outgrown the fourth-class rate that now prevails. With the establishment of cis terns for fire purposes and with a fire department not equalled by any suburban section gnd which in cludes four combination pumpers and chemical engines, the county in well protected against fire. Commissioners of Election John R. Harding, Smith Rucker and Bryan Gordon, canvassing the vote of Arlington county as registered in the Democratic primary Tuesday certified to the clerk of the circuit court, yesterday that Harry F. Byrd carried the county by twenty one votes. The condition of Mrs. Joseph L. Dugan, of Lawton avenue, Claren don, who underwent a serious operation at the Georgetown Hos pital yesterday, was reported as greatly improved today. The establishment of a cistern for fire purposes was discussed at a special meeting of the Ashton Heights Citizens Association held in the club house last night, with Allen J. Rogers, president, presid ing. After discussion, the association decided to have erected at the corner of Marion and Park avenues a cistern with a capacity of 20,000 gallons. This tank will not tdke care of the entire section of Ashton Heights, but will provide water for a part of Lyon Park. Subscriptions total ing >l2O were given. Captain John T. Talman. sanitary engineer of Arlington county, dis cussing the situation confronting the Clarendon Community Sewerage Corporation, of which Harry C. Saffell is president, and which pro poses to extend its lines to take care of the residents along Rocky Run. said last night that it is his purpose to insist that working plans be submitted and arrange ments made to give sufficient bond to irtsure the work being completed.

DONALD LOWRIE’S STORY a** New and Amazing Serial Describes in Detail One Man s Long But Losing Battle for Freedom, As Told By Himself. I did not lock up the whisky I kept in my room because Os borne, struck by the former dis trust-jrOC the convict housemen, as evidenced by locks everywhere when -he took charge of the place, had collected all the keys and left every bureau and closet and chest wide open. “Sampling’’ Whiskey Personally. I had even more reason to know that the best way to get honesty from a prisoner is to trust him, so I could do no dif ferent than follow suit, so far as i locks were concerned. I knew some of the housemen were im bibing from my whiskey bottles and it worried me, I knew, if they were caught with the smell of liquor on their breaths or should one of them take too much and become tipsy, it would result in disgrace and punishment, not to mention possible material for the already turntailing press. Some papers were already show ing- teeth antagonistic to the i»w prison policies and on the lookout for “proofs” that the prison ad ministration was open to adverse criticism. Sing Sing wardens had afforded scandal copy for the newspapers, usually for graft or other flagrant malfeasance in of fice. Some of them had been in dicted; others had been forced to resign. Here was one whom the politicians knew could not be “got” for any such reasons, but wnom they were determined to oust. Any kind of irregularity or laxity would do for an excuse. I already knew that, and I knew that the use of alcohol by myseif under such circumstances, espe cially in such away that prison ers might get some of it, consti tuted a grave menace to Osborne and to his hopes for prison better ment. Yet I was enslaved to the point of selfishness where I couldn't sacrifice the appetite, and* was willing to go on taking chances of helping bring disaster upon my fiiend and to the men in gray. The very fact that I stopped oc casionally to reason about the sit nation seemed ©ply to djrive me p more drink. Part ot Long March Inexplicable? Yes; and all a part of the long, long march, with the muffled drum beating time, that brought me back to the por tals of a prison as a iaw breaker and convict again. I spent New Year’s in Auburn with Osborne, visiting the prison there and learning how the new system was progressing. We returned to Sing Sing on Janu ary 2, and found an innovation had been instituted. The men, as a "New Year’s present” to Osborne, had asked Johnson, the deputy -warden, that the guards be removed from the iness hall during meal times and from the prison yard during the recreation hour. This matter had been discussed during the latter litany Pounds come to Lipton experts but few are chosen! Only the finest tea reaches your taste! hy LARGEST SALE Rr IN THE WORLD part of December, but no deci- sion had been reached. John son. as acting warden during borne’s absence, had acceded to the request of the brotherhcod, and when returned we found the men assembled for a meal with no sign of a guard anywhere* and when they passed from the mess hall to the yard the guards were also conspicuous by their absence. This was, indeed, a radi cal departure from long estab lished prison custom, but it proved efficacious. The days went by and there were no fights, no disturbances. During the rest of Osborne’s administration there was never a guard in the mess hall nor in the yard during rec reation time. It was a concrete justification of the self-govern ment plan. I have mentioned Johnson- Charles H. Johnson —the deputy warden. .This man had been head of an orphan asylum before com ing to Sing Sing as deputy war den. Ha had been recommended to Osborne by O. F. Lewis of the New York Prison Association —an organization whose purpose and functions I don’t believe anyone has ever, succeeded in establish ing. Johnson, despite this recom mendation and the fact that he had for years been an eleemosyn ary institutional officer of *he old school, apparently entered into Osborne’s plans and policies with enthusiasm. He had a quiet mannerism and a soft, persua sive voice; but to my mind he agreed too readily to everything Foxy Grandpa’s Story WHY THE BEAR WASN'T INTERESTED I NOTICED the Bunny had his nose very close to the ground and that every once in a while he would stop, sit up on his hind legs and appear to be m deep thought. It was in the north woods of Canada that this happened, and, although it turned out to be most interesting, I must admit that it frightened us all very much for a few minutes. Bunny kept this sniffing the ground and sitting up on his ifind legs until I finally asked: "Bunny, what on earth is the matter with you?” “I’ve seen something, and I don’t know whether we ought to keep on this trail.” “What have you seen?” I asked. “There!” pointed Bunny. “See for yourself.” I looked on the ground where Bunny pointed and replied cas ually: "I don’t see anything but foot prints.” "But what kind of footprints, Foxy Grandpa?” "Canadian,” I chuckled. "But what kind of Canadian?” persisted Bunny. "Might be a Canadian Indian.” "Canadian bear,” whispered Bunny. "Bear” I exclaimed. “I thought they were the footprints of a man.’’ "Most people would,” said Bunny. “They look so much alike. But I have examined them carefully. They are bear foot prints and there is no use in going into unnecessary danger.” "I quite agree with you, Bun ny,” 1 said.” We’ll go no fur ther.” But it was too late. Because at that very moment I saw Bun ny tremble and then he gave one flying leap and landed right in my pocket. “lx>ok,” he gasped, as he set- Health Warning Eat the Right Breakfast Hot Days Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to 5 minutes Supplies the energy you need SOME people make a practice of passing vigor foods in summer.

That mv first impression as the man was correct was fnally established, though it took me a long time to place real •credence in Tom’s first intimation to me, made within a few weeks after taking office, that he wasn t “sure of Johnson s loyalty, CHAPTER XLII I have mentioned "Canada Blackie” and his transfer from 'Auburn prison to Sing Sing on account of his health, and be cause Osborne felt the need of his influence to promote the best interests of the Sing Sing pris oners. Soon after Blackie’s arrival, In January, his tubercular condition became much worse, compelling him to Clinton prison, in the was some talk, of transferring him ot Clinton prison, in the Adirondack region, but Blackie balked at the plan, pleading to remain near his "friend, Tom,” meaning Osborne. Some time previous. while Blackie was still at Auburn, I think it was. on learning of the man's grave Illness. Governor Whitman had voluntarily de clared that he would not let Blackie die in prison; that, in view of his wonderful come-back for good and his excellent in fluence at Auburn following his release from “solitary,” he, the governor, would pardon him, pro vided he was assured there was no hope of the prisoner’s re covery. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) tied down under my pocket-flap, “there’s the Canadian.” I glanced up and there right over to our right and almost hid den by a bush was a great big black bear! Bobby huddled up close to nte and I tried to do some fast thinking. Kill the bearT Not if I could possibly help it. Os course, if he made for us I would be forced to do it. There was no other way out. The next question was, "Waa he coming for us?” For the brief moment when I was turning these things over 1n my mind, the bear didn’t appear to see us, so I started to taike steps away from that bear as if I were walking on eggs, with Bobby following close behind me. The bear evidently hadn't seen us or even smelt us. In fact he was busy doing something. It looked to me as if he were digging in the ground. But what would a bear be doing digging in the ground? We tip-toed out of that part of the wood and several times Bunny put his head out of my pocket and whispered: “No need to hurry now:, Foxy Grandpa. He won’t come after us.” But it was some time until I decided that the bear was not following us and then I stopped for a moment and asked Bunny: "Bunny, what made you change your mind about that bear and tell me there was no use in hur rying?” "‘Because I realized what he was doing,” replied Bunny. "What was he doing?” I in quired. "Digging up some meat he had hidden in the ground,” replied Bunny. "So you see we were all right.

He does all the band concerts and nearly all the dance programs, leaving the less import ant work to his able associates. Doctor E. A’. Hooten, professor of anthropology at Harvard Univer sity, will devote a full hour over WBZ, Springfield, tonight t? an ex planation of the theory of evolution, which has been talked about so much of late. His address will be gin at 8 o’clock. Outside of Presidential addresses, it is a very rare thing to see a radio station give over a whole hour to one talk. With only three more weeks to go, Graham Mclfamee the telephone company’s star announcer, is lead ing the Radio Digest contest for most popular tnnouncer by a mar gin of 18.000 votes. His nearest competitor, as before, is George Hay, “the solemn old judge” of WLS, Chicago. A concert by the Wardman Park trio, Moe Baer conducting, an or gan recital by H. H.

Famous French Recipes CHIFFONADE DE LAITUE PARIS. —Chiffonade de laitue, chiffonade of lettuce, is an ex cellent dish for utilizing*the out side leaves of lettuce, which are often thrown away. Cut into a fine Julienne the leaves of the lettuce. Put into a casserole anct heat with a good spoonful of butter. Season with salt and cook slowly, with the cover removed. This chiffonade makes a de licious garniture for eggs, fish and meat, or for adding to thick and clear soups. BEEF IN FRICADELLES “Beef in fricadelles” is the specialty at Albert’s, the elegant little restaurant just off the Champs Elysees, where many a lovely bachelor eats. Chop into very fine pieces, one pound of cooked beef. Put into a bowl and add two-fifths pound of. puree of potatoes and two large spoonfuls of chopped onion, cooked in butter, and one half spoonful of chopped parsley. Bind this with a whole egg, season with salt and spices and mix well. Divide into small portions and form into palettes, rolling in flour afterward. Brown the fricadelles in butter and then bake in the oven. Serve with a puree of vegetables and a piquant sauce. GIRLS OF FOURTEEN Mothers Who Permit Daughters Pro miscuous Pleasures Impose Unfair Temptations By Dr. Chas. A. L. Reed, Former President of the American Medical Association A LARGE number of the let ters that I receive from my readers relate to girls about the age of fourteen. One’ anxious mother, a widow with an qnly daughter, who is the apple of her eye, writes to ask my advice. The girl was brought up in the country. The mother has moved to the county seat to give her *tha benefit, of the high school. She la brilliant as a pupil, very spirited, gets her Tessons easily, plays vigorously, but has become thoroughly wrapped up in her com panions and their sports. She insists upon going to parties, dances, and has come in as late as 2 o’clock in the morning. She has always been an affec tionate and obedient child, but has latterly shown the disposi tion to be rebellious when her mother admonishes her against parties And late hours. This Is a type of many cases that are occurring all over the country and that probably, above all others, are sources of anxiety to parents. It is to be remembered that a girl of fourteen is at her most dangerous period, the period of storm and stress, the period when womanhood with all of its possi bilities for good and evil is as serting Itself. It is likewise the period when girl-nature, no less than boy nature, demands lots of pleasure. It is the period of fun. It is the period when all social impulses and aptitudes are being devel oped and adjusted. It is the period when the troublesome sex problem must be solved consist ently in order to retain the purity and subsequent happiness of the girl. It is for this very reason that the conventions of the past have been developed to assist and pro tect a budding girl in her transi tion from childhood to woman hood. The severity of those conven tions in the past and, in some countries even today, is a severe commentary on the immorality of manhood. Those conventions WHEN DID IT HAPPEN? 1. When did Lincoln make his first call for volunteers? 2. When did Mai*. Twain write “The Jumping Frog?” 3. When di< the Genoese block ade Venice 4. When did Thomas Aquinas, great scholastic philosopher, die* ade Venicd? 5. When was the Edict of Nantes revoked? ANSWERS To Y'esterday’s Queries 1. The Players, a New York dramatic club was founded in 1888.. 2. The name Great Britain was given to England, Wales and Scotland in 1604. 3. Hadrian was Emperor of Rome from 117 to 138 A. D. 4. The Mahdi revolt in the Sudan, Egypt, began in 1881. 5. The Neanderthal prehistoric man was discovered in 1857. jenuing AspiriN SAY “BAYER ASPIRIN” and INSIST 1 Unless you see the “Bayer Cross” on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for 25 years.

There is no possible doubt 1 tit that human nature is the same today as it was then, and there equally no possible doubt that the protective influence of those conventions has been largely withdrawn under the newly de veloped conditions of modern life. The mother who permits her daughter to go riding alone with a young man in an automobile falls to protect her daughter by subjecting both ner and her es cort to unfair temptation. The encouragetnent of exotic dances instead of the thoroughly wholesome ones; the habit of run ning parties late into the night, all without chaperonage, is un fair to both sexes. All of these questions enter deeply into the problem of moral health and physical welfare of society. The solution can come only by definite, social leadership supported by a broad consensus of respectable mothers re sulting in a well-defined and ir resistible set of taboos., Flowered Frocks Latest Craze By Alice Langelier laternatlonal New* Service Staff Correspondent PARIS. FLOWERED frocks are cutting important figures in madame’s wardrobe this summer. Both the vogue and the weather invite them to take plenty of exercise. Garden parties and the Grande Semaine brought them out In great profusion, and now they are being packed off to all the smart summer resorts. There Is nothing fiore refreshing on one of these hot days than the mousseline frock spattered with flowers, whether they be copies of real bo tanical specimens or the fancy of ons of the larg* French fabric makers. Some are small-patterned silks; others with gorgeous spread ing floral varieties, and still oth ers with geometric and eccentric designs. At a recent charity garden fete the Baronne de Rothschild wore a flowered mousseline de sole over mauve, with ostrich feathers of the same shade. Awother printed chiffon bore the stamp of Patou and had a design of huge red pop* pies on white. The frock wak fluffy in its general effect, with a circular skirt and the sleeves fin ished with full circular and gath ered flounces. Callot is showing a chaining figured frock with a design of t»ny spring flowers of all colors on a blue background, broken pleated flounces, with solid blue borders, trim the skirt, and the neck has a pleated frill. Blanche Lebouvier is making a charming dinner dress in royal blue, with designs shading to pink. She is also veil ing many of her flowered chiffon dresses with an outer layer of plain chiffon, thua getting a charming, hazy effect. Here and There At fourteen years of age. George Washington gave up a midship man’s warrant and stayed at home at his mother’s behest.

For fifty years genuine “Phillips Milk of Magnesia’* has been pre scribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much acid in the stomach as a saturate*! solution of bicarbonate of soda, leaving the stomach sweet and free from all gases. It neutralizes acid fermentations in the bowels and gently urges the souring waste from the system without purging. Besides, it is more pleasant to take than soda. Insist upon "Phillips.

Firemen’s Sessions PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md., Aug. 7. —Citizens of Riverdale will assemble in the fire house to further study the situation g£ow ing out of the recently increased water main and sewer benefit charges of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission tomorrow at 8 p. m. At the last mass meeting the pub licity committee of the Riverdale Citizens’ Improvement Association was directed to say that “when paying bills, under the new rate, to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission write plainly upon the face of the bill, ‘Paid Under Pro test.' At the session of the Brentwood mayor and council Monday night, at the new meeting place, Wells ave nue and Campbell street, a pet.tion will, it is understood, be presented by residents of Charles street re garding alleged excessive drainage, which, it is claimed, is allowed to flow from Moifnt Rainier and upper Brentwood into the gutters in Charles street. This condition causes, it is stated, muddy water as the result of heavy showers to overflow the side walks and front yards of Charles street homes, making it necessary at times to use boots to get in and out of fheir houses. The petition will request diversion of this water into drainage ways formerly used but now closed. Volunteer firemen of Prince George’s county will assemble in Cottage City for the annual con vention of the county firemen’s association tomorrow afternoon. The Cottage City company will be host.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES STRONG FREED BT POLICE HOARD Witnesses Fail to Identify Officer Charged With Striking Girl The police trial board yesterday dismised its long standing case 1 against Policeman Harry E. Strong, 'of the Third precinct, who was charged with conduct unbecoming an officer as the result of an alleged attack upon the pretty Japanese girl, Lillian Wada, the night of June 16. The decision came when Strong’s counsel moved for dismissal after i all of the prosecuting witnesses had failed to Identify Strong as the policeman seen with the girl on the night of the alleged attack. 1 None of tjie witnesses etstifled to seeing the policeman strike the girl. The charges were preferred aginst Strong after several com plaints were made to police that an officer had been seen beating a woman at Sixteenth and M streets northwest on the night of June 16. Later that night Policeman Strong took a girl who gave her name as Lillian Wada to Emerg ency Hospital for treatment. He testified he had found her after an automobile accident at Sixtenth and M streets. The girl told conflicting stories of the cause of her injuries. How- 1 ever she failed to appear at the hearing yesterday, and is believed to have left town. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH SERVICES AT THEATER The services of the Shiloh Bap tist Church .will be held again Sun- day in the Howard \Theater.

More than $2,000 has already been re- 1 /eived. Letters r>f sympathy and checks for the fund have been forthcoming from church workers in all dif ferent denominations. The Rev erend J. Milton Waldron, pastor of the church, will preach two ser- mons in the theater Sunday and the choir is expected to turn out in its full membership. Professors T. H. Ward and E. M.

ARE YOU KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES?! MASS. AVE. TO HAVE NEW TRAFFIC LIGHTS X.. I Bus Terminal-Armory Home Urged MILITARY MEN FOR PLAN Combination Structure Deem ed of importance in Emergency Cases Construction of a great com bined bus terminal and District National Guard armory is being studied today by the Public Utili ties Commission, at the suggestion of Major General Anton Stephan, commanding the guard. The armory would occupy the entire second floor of the terminal, which would cover an area of at least a half block and probably a far larger space, according to the plan. Combination Favored Such combination of the armory and the bus terminal, it was pointed out by military men. Would be of tremendous strategic importance in event of any great emergency. Suf ficient motor vehicles would be im mediately at hand to move the entire District guard, with arms and equipment, it was pointed out. This use of motor biases for emergency purposes saved Paris when it was first threatened by the Germans, the French army moving to the battlefield in taxi cabs and busses. The District militia is now located in an old building at Fifth tnd L streets northwest, next to the Convention Hall. The guard has been using the old hall fox- drill purposes. Owing to remodeling of the building, however, it will be de prived of such use for this purpose in the future. J* haa been suggested to the utilities commission that when the proposed bus terminal is laid out, it would be a simple matter to de sign the second floor as an armory at small additional cost. It has been pointed out to the commission that the gathering of National Guard members several times a week would materially in crease the value of the concessions to be located in the bus terminal. The need of the District for an adequate armory has long been considered by military authorities, District officials, members of Con- Kress. New Armory Planned The public buildings commission now has before it plans for the construction of a great monu- mental guard armory, to be con structed in the area facing Penn sylvania avenue between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets northwest and extending back to the Mall. I Architects plans for such a building have been prepared and approved by the Fine Arts Com mission. The structure would be of granite and would form one of the most imposing buildings in 1 the city, according to the plans. Construction of the proposed com- I hined bus terminal and armory, however, would force the selec- tion of a new site in the business section of the city, as the area south of Pennsylvania avenue, under the governmental building I plan now pending, is to be reserved exclusively for Government struc- tures of a monumental character. I Hit on Head With Brick Robert Jasper, colored, twenty-six. of 250 J M street, northwest, was treated at Georgetown Hospital last I night for injuries sustained when he was struck on the head with a brick during an ...tercation near Twentv-sixth and P streets north west.

HUMANITY’S LATEST SCOURGE. --“To* numlufWo xtii_ l' THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES. Here’s a situation that should cause men agitation. When we consider what the future to us may bring. In this great and glorious nation, we find a close relation. When statisticians point out a quite important thing. While our population of millions can loan other nations billions, We hardly give a thought to what the censub shows. Though "jaxz” has replaced cotillions and we never will bo minions. We should be prepared for sudden and unexpected blowa The census takers say we have three million women more today Than men. two million more widows, than widowers in the land. And the men will soon be prey, if the women gain that way. So it’s well to consider Just exactly where we stand. The danger seems to lurk In making men do all the work; For men have so many sisters, cousins and aunts. Men will have to do housework with a boss like the ‘Terrible Turk,” And men will wear the skirts and the women wear the pants. So the men will have to get together end prepare for stormy weather.

A bill for this purpose failed dur ing the closing hours of the last session of Congress. Mrs. Van Winkle will redraft the bill and sub mit it to the District Commissioners for approval. The bill would double the size of the bureau, allowing forty-five policewomen, in place of the present force of twefity-three, and would increase the rank of the chief of the bureau from lieutenant to in spector.

BOGUS COP LEWES FINE Collects $8 From Motorist for Crossing Stop Sign, Then Disappears Taking the responsibility of enforcing the traffic regulations into his own hands, an unidenti fied colored man yesterday after noon stopped Leonard Cammack, of Silver Spring, Md., as the latter drove his automobile across a "stop sign at Seventh and Mt. Vernon place northwest, and ex> tracted $8 from Cammack as a fine. Posed as Officer Representing himself as a traffic officer the colored man mounted Cammack's running board and in structed him to drive to the crimi nal Court Building, where the amount of the fine would be desig nated. Commack, a stranger in the city, didn’t know any better, so he obeyed the "officer” when, upon their ar rival at the courthouse, he was in structed to wait in the hall while the "officer” found out how much the fine would be. Cammack claims now that it was adding insult to injury when the "officer, remounted his automobile and ordered him to go to the Traf fic Bureau. "Rubbed It In” It was rubbing it in, according to the victim, when the color man vanished into the Traffic Bureau and emerged with a copy of the traffic regulations, admonishing Cammack to read them carefully. Cammack reported his loss of SB, the "fine” imposed, to Precln-.-t De tective Christiensen, of the Second Precinct,' and police today are look ing for the bogus policeman.

Eldridge, as the second boulevard upon which the traffic light system will be installed. Original Plan Changed The Commissioners approved the early erection of traffic lights from Twelfth to Eighteenth streets in clusive on Massachusetts avenue. Installation of lights on H street and Pennsylvania avenue at Lafay ette Square which had originally been planned will be abandoned for the present and the lights ordered for these points transferred to Mass achusetts avenue. The original plan called for traffic lights on H street at Madison place. Sixteenth street and Jackson place and on Pennsylvania avenue at Mad ison and Jackson places. Approved By Director "We will do better not to install the lights on H street and Penn sylvania avenue until we can carry out the plan throughout the entire congested area on these boulevards,” Director Eldridge reported to tne Comnjissioners. Car Companies Will Fight Traffic Rulings At Public Hearings Washington street railway offi cials will 'make a public fight against the action of the Public Utilities Commission in ordering street cars to comply with the boulevard stop signals arid to paint safety zones at street car stops.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1925 r SB® FAVORA’S TOWIN FLAG New York Wagering Cents Like Connie’s Crew and Giants for Victory W L Pct. ■m hmm Wash winsM 30 .647 Wash loses 63 3" .637 ■4 Phil wins two. 67 34 .663 Phil breaks even 66 35 .653 Phil loses two.. 65 36 .644 By LOUIS A. DOUGHER Sports Editor, The Times Connie Mack’s pace-setting Ath letics are favorites to win the American League pennant this year, according to advices from New York where blokes do wager more or less on anything and everything. In the National League scramble the Giants con tinue favorites over the Pitts burgh Pirates. At the opening of the big league season the world champion Griff men were generally favored to re peat. Indeed, the chances .'.gainst the Mackmen’were generally fixed at 10 to 1. Nobody foresaw what Connie Mack’s gang would do and, if any money was put up on the Athletics, some fancy profits will be in order m the event of a Phil adelphia pennant triumph. Last April it was generally thought that Washington. New York and Detroit would make the fight for the American League flag. New York never got away from the mark. Detroit did little better. To the surprise of the baseball world, it was Connie Mack’s team which proceeded to hit a fast pace and force the going against the cham pions. When the Griffs fought their, way to the top of the ladder with! the coming of July, most fans believed the end had come. The sad slump of the champions then set in and the Mackmen hastened to take ad vantage of it, regaining the lead while making their second Western tour. August finds the Mackmen perched on top in the favor of the betting man. The refusal of the A’s to break down under the terrific strain is the reason. Therefore, today the Mackmen are favored to win the pennant by those metropolitan gents who like to have something up on a flag race. However, being the underdog is no new thing for the Griffmen. The Yankees were big favorites a year ago at this time and few be lieved the Griffs would ever stag ger over the line in first place. Yet they did. They hung on and saw Detroit and New York drop back long enough to let them win. Going-into the world series, the Griffs again were on the short end. After losing two of the three games to the Giants in New York, the Griffs were generally considered out of the fight for the big crown. Everybody knows what happened, how the Griffs won those last two games here, upsetting everything in the history of baseball. So, being on the short end now will hardly keep the champions awake nights. Though the Pirates are leading in the National League, betting men pin their faith largely upon- John McGraw’s known brains and aggressiveness. Furthermore, recent baseball history show's that the Pirates have a habit of crumbling just when they should be strongest. Today is Ladies’ Day at the Clark Griffith Stadium and a single game will be played, with Stanley Coveleskie likely to climb tiie hill and start a new winning streak. George Sister has two probable pitchers in Joe Giard (that’s right, Glard, not Girard) and Milton Gas ton. Giard is a- southpaw who, with Joe Bush and Milton Gaston, fig urged in the Urban Shocker trade. He easily defeated the champions the last time they were in St. Louis and may get the call today. When the Cleveland victory was posted on the scoreboard at the ball orchard yesterday the fans went wild and much of the enthusiasm was wafted to the Washington bench. Throughout the afternoon, whenever a player turned in a good play, his mates surrounded him and slapped him on the back. It was the old rah-rah stuff with a vengeance and it went big with those fans able to see into the Champions’ dugout. Hornsby Fools ’Em Always known as a baseball player of the most tranquil type. Rogers Hornsby, has shown during his two months as a manager, that he is one of the most colorful players extant. Ladies’ Day TODAY BASE BALL p. M AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK WASHINGTON vs. ST.

Houghton is an accountant in the Federal Reserve Branch of the Treasury Department and was at one time caddy for President Wilson. GRIFFS HAVE BIG BULGE ON JINX BROWNIES By LOUIS A. DOUGHER Sports Editor, The Times For the first time in many a Icng day the Washington club has a 9-to-5 edge over the St. Louis Browns in August. Usually it has been the other way. Winning a pennant in 1924, the Griffmen were unable to shake oft that St. Louis jinx, the Browns winning thirteen of the twentyrtwo games played with the coming champions of the world. Dutch Ruether and Walter Johnson, ably backed by the whole darned gang at bat and in the field, grabbed both ends of a double header from George Sisler’s troupe and so today the champions have won nine out of fourteen from the Mound City entry. It really must be a bit discouraging for George Sisler, who was confident of taking at least one victory. Instead, he dropped the first, 5 to 4, and the second, 10 to 3. The Twin attraction drew some 15,000 fans, who got plenty for their jack. Both games were dotted with fancy stuff. Sam Rice went out against the right-field barrier and hauled down Red Hargrave’s liner with his gloved hand. That was perhaps the day’s greatest fielding achievement, but Earl McNeely romped around the garden like a leaping gazelle, snaring everything with the grace of a Russian dancer. Greatly to the joy of the big at tendance, Joe Judge hopped into the limelight with some solid clouts In the second game. He got a double and two singles, scoring two runs and driving in three others. Joe is a popular bird around here, and his slump has worried his friends. Therefore, they rose in a mighty chorus of salutation when he came to life against Davis and Danforth. Bullet Joe Bush lasted four innings In the first game. The Champions got all their tallies off his stuff—yes, and all their hits, too—for Ernie Wingard held them helpless during the last four frames. The second game witnessed the downfall and utter rout of Dixie Davis and Dave Danforth. They have been effective against the Champions in the past, and so re venge was sweet. Dutch Ruether gave the Broyvns eight hits and four runs in the opening skirmish. He was a trifle wild, not enough to hurt, but enough to cause Bucky Harris to Insert that marvelous relief flinger, Fred Marberry, with one out and tw’o on and one run to tie in the ninth. Marberry forced LaMotte and Sisler to hoist flies and Ruether’s victory W’ent into the books. Walter Johnson, not as impressive as on Sunday and yet effective withal, had a soft time of it in the second game after the sixth. In that session the Griffs fell upon Dixie Davis for two singles and two doubles and three runs. Davis was yanked in the seventh after hitting McNeely and passing Har ris, leaving the field amid a chorus of shrieks and jeers. Dandy Dave Danforth came bi and ran right into a storm. A pass, two singles and a double, with Sisler’s wild heave as a chaser, allowed five runs to cross the pan and stifle all hope of a St. Louis triumph. Two walks and two hits wve the Browns two runs in the sec ond frame against Ruether, but the Griffs were tapping Bush hard and had five runs checked up when Wingard came along in the fifth. ’Tis well, for the left hander was a stingy bloke. Not a hit or a run came off his stuff. Williams’ double and Jacobson's Ladies Day to Attract Many Rooters For Griffs Today Today is ladies’ day at the Clark Griffith Stadium, all the girls being admitted free, whether escorted or not. Any way, what’s an escort these days, except to buy potato chips, ice cream and soda pop? The Washington club has made fans of every girl in the Capital through its regular ladies’ days. They come out in droves and as for pulling for Bucky Harris and his gang, they never quit. sihgle gave the Browns a run tn the sixth and in the seventh a pass to Evans became a run on a sacrifice, an infield out and La- Motte’s single. Gerber singled, opening the ninth, and Bennett sacrificed. Harry Rice walked, bringing Mar berry to the slab. LaMotte lined to McNeely and Sisler put up a short fly to the same lad, ending the game with t«»e Griffs on the long end. Singles by Williams and Jacob son gave the Biowns a one-run lead in the second frame of the second game, though they were tied up in th third. The champions went ahead in the sixth and were never caught, adding to their margin in the big seventh. Chester Falk, younger brother of the White So* fielder, was on the hill in the eighth and yielded a run on McNeely’s single and steal, followed by Rice’s double to left. Where They Stood Year Ago Today August 7, 1924- The Griffmen lost, their fourth straight game to the Brownies, 6 to 5, although the Washington batters outhit the St. Louis sluggers, 11 bingles to 9. Mogridge and Win gard pitched. As Detroit defeated New York, 5 to 2, the Tiger rally looked more dangerous than ever.

L. Houghton, of Washington, and Dick Walsh, of New York engaged .in one of those well-known star attractions, affairs in the fourth annual public links tournament advanced into the final stages today. WAlsh is figured to beat Houghton, though he will have to shoot par or better to do it, Judging from the way the Washing ton star was putting them in the cup in his first two matches. Walsh is a lings champion. Eddie Frost X and Bill McGuire failed to last through their first round matches. Frost lost his game entirely and was lucky not to be beaten by a more dclsive- score than 5 and 4. He was out in 46, and back in the same. McGuire shot exact par, but his man was unruly and came back in three under par. Houghton had three birdies in each round. He semed to recall that noble 70 which he shot the firsf time around the course, and he played well up to that standard. There will be two rounds of match play today, with the 36-hole finals scheduled for tomorrow. GARDEN CITY, N. Y„ Aug. 7. Greeted by the first favorable weather in the last three days, the depleted field of eight went into the third round of the national public links championship at the Salisbury Country Club this morn ing, with the semi-finals scheduled for later Jn the day. The favorable conditions forecast a continuance of the sensational play that has featured the tourney, medal scores of 72 and 73 being mere incidents. Those remaining in the cham pionship at the start of the round were Dick Walsh, New York, 1923 champion; Raymond McAuliffe, Buf falo, who made an amateur course record of 7ft on Tuesday; John J. Wall, Spokane, winner over the medalist, Nelson Davies; William Serrick, New York; A. L. Houghton, Washington; E. B. Lloyd, Chicago; William Courtney, Detroit, and Carl Kaufmann, Pittsburgh. One of the best matches of the round brought together McAuliffe and Kaufmann, the latter having made an excellent score in the qualifying round. The remaining matches were: Walsh vs. Hoiigh ton, Wall vs. Serrick, and Lloyd vs. Courtney. FORE! —AND AFTER —By ROSS CONKLIN— Many interesting items are be ing recalled about Al Houghton, Washington’s lone representative in the latter stages of the public links tournament at Garden City. Among thejp is the fact that Al was formerly a caddie for Presi dent Wilson at Bannockburn. Al still claims to have the first dime tip that the War President gave him. Houghton, contrary to general opinion, is a thoroughly experienced polfer. He has worked at making clubs, and he has taught golf. He knows the game inside and out, and when he is right he will come close to beating any one he plays. His record here in the invita tion tournaments is impressive. In the two tournaments lie has played in he qualified in one, at Columbia, he won his flight. lu the latter tournament, he struck a snag in qualifying and his score placed him in the third flight. He went through classy opposition with full sails. The year before he had also won the third flight at Columbia. The District boys who went to Garden City are taking great care of their last man. Bill McGuire, loyal and determined, has taken Al in tow. A telegram from Hough ton said that the boys were forcing him to stay in his hotel. They gave him a rubdown after his matches, and they formed an unfail ing gallery to cheer him up in his matches. Eddie Frost, McGuire, Cox and Shorey have determined that they will leave nothing un done that might insure Houghton’s victory. Listen to Houghton if you would know how he was going in his matches. "I eliminated two men, but I had to shoot two 73’s to do it; Three birdies in the morning, and three more in the afternoon helped me put them down. Play ing steady golf and have no fear’s for the future. The boys are cheer ing me up, and they are taking care of me like I was a long lost child." In McGuire’s match with Serrick, the Washington Irishman, now sales manager for an automobile con cern, shot just one over par and he lost. 4 and 3. That means that his opponent was shooting four strokes beneath par and tnat kind of golf will win almost any old title. But It can’t be kept up. Houghton played Rock Creek just a day before he left for Garden City George. Diffenbaugh, assist uni professional, played with him, and George found Al slicing. He gave him a tip .on how to stop it, ami Al’s game since has shown that he took seriously the advice.

"Kearns’ contract with me is not valid and I have been so informed by high legal authority,” declared Dempsey. “Kearns knows this and we have reached an understanding. He will receive his cut on this fight next year and no boxing commission or no authority what soever will require me to get Kearns’ signature before I fight Wills or anyone.” Dempsey said he did not plan to meet Greb, Tunney or anyone be-' fore the Wills bout.

ALL MICHIGANDERS MAY SEEK FOOTBALL TICKETS ANN ARBOR, Aug. 7.—More than 60,000 application blanks for Uni versity of Michigan football games this fall have been mailed out to alumni and former students, the athletic association announced today. While the demand on the part of alumni is expected to be as keen as last year’s the general public of the State has the same right to buy tickets as alumni, Director Yost stated. “Perhaps it is not generally known,’ he said, "that citizens of Michigan may purchase tickets to our football games and receive the very same consideration as alumni. No formal application blanks are necessary—a letter and remittance are enough. The general public, however, is subject to the same limitations placed upon alumni.

"Bucky Harris is one of the wonders of baseball," was John son’s tribute to the youthful Wash ington leader. "He is one of the best managers In “the game, a good player and a fine fellow, personally.” The nearest estimate he would make of the league race was to say that, generally, a team of vet erans should be steadier in a long, gruelling race. He also was of the opinion that Eddie Collins might bring his White Sox up in time to make a triple dash down the home stretch.
