TO START CAMPAIGN
FOR MEMORIAL HALL
Delegates From All City's
Organizations Will Meet
March p.

A mass meeting Of delegates from all
organizations in the city in the interest
of the fund for the proposed George
Washington Memorial Convention Hall.
is to be held at the rooms of the Cham
Der OF Commerce on Wednesday even
ing, March p.
A call for the meeting was sent out
today by John DOlph, chairman of the
mass meeting subcommittee of the Con-
ventions Committee, to all citizens, fra
ternaI, professional and business asso-
Citations, to all clubs and patriotic So
cieties. The letter requests each Organi-
cation TO send three delegates TO the
mass meeting.
The letter asserts that the Chamber of
Commerce is a business organization
and that it is putting up to the people
of the city fine business proposition. y
The Chamber has already subscribed
81, 900 TO the fund.
THE project TO erect the George
Washington Memorial Building" says
MIR. Dolph, represents the highest type
of American patriotism. II should, and
we believe ii does, appeal to every man,
woman and child in the country. The
convention committee is not making
its appeal, however, to your association
and to the people OF Washington gener-
ally on sentimental grounds"
The list of organizations to which the
invitation to name delegates Is being
sent numbers about lbs distinct bodies.

City Police Court
Ignored By Asylum

What right have the authorities OF
the Government Hospital for the Insane
TO release a man who has been adjudg-
ed insane by jury without eversnoti-
flying the court that this action is 60
ing to be taken?
This was the question raised in the
United States branch of the Police
Court this morning in the case of Will
lam Alexander, better known as Buck"
Alexander, one of Washington's most
noted police fighters, who was arraign-
cd for an assault on Policeman Joseph
Thompson. alleged to have been COM
mttted about two weeks ago.
Alexander was brought before a jury
for trial on a similar charge early in
January, and a verdict Of mot guilty
on account OF insanity" resulted.
Accordingly. the prisoner was sent to
ST. Elizabeth's to receive treatment
there. The next thing the court heard
of Alexander was when he was arrest
ed recently charged with assault on
Policeman Thompson. Then the ques-
ton arose-how did he get out of the
Government Hospital for the Insane?
Inquiry developed the fact that the
authorities there, after six weeks
examination, reached the conclusion
that Alexander was sane, and they dis
charged him, neylecting TO notify Judge
Mullowny or any OF the court officials
Of their action.

Gives $22,500 for
Road to LeeSburg

The movement 10 Improve the old
road from Washington to Leesburg to-
day seems assured of success. John G.
Hopkins. who owns a large farm near
LeesburC has promised a subscription OF
So, 500; Robert y. Harper has subscribed
81 O00, and farmers along the route have
expressed themselves as willing to put
up a good share of the balance neces-
sary, either in cash or its equivalent.
team work upon construction of the
road.
At a meeting OF residents in Boudoun
and Fairfax counties / nthe Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday afternoon, at
which Mr.. Harper presided, and A. Left
wich Sinclair was secretary. all agreed
that the river route, the "old George
town pike" should be the one to be
improved, rather than the one via
Vienna.
As the Improvement Of the road from
Chain Bridge to Langley Is already
assured by the Fairfax county and
Alexandria county road improvement
plans. the money which will have to be
raised for the Leesburg road must be
only enough to cover the distance from
Langley to Leesburg.
Possibly the Government may be ask
ed to assist, for ii was declared at .the
meeting yesterday that ii was the
Government which was responsible for
putting the road in the poor condition
It has been since reconstruction days.
II was alleged that the road was a good
one before the war, but that the con-
stant passage of heavy artillery and
wagons over 1t wore II out, and the
Government has never repaired the
damage.

Did you ever stop to think" said
scientific man the other day. that
millions of people now use an antiseptic
mouth wash daily It's a praiseworthy
habit and II I had my way it would
me made compulsory. There is no ques-
tion but it prevents a great deal of dis
case"
But how about the microbes that go
further than the mouth; the ones that
are breathed into the tubes and air
cells of the lungs?' asked the friend
of the scientific man, why cannot we
destroy them daily and prevent ches.
and lung disease?"
Perhaps you don't know" replied
the scientific man, that thousands Of
people are doing that same thing every
day. They are breathing deep into
the lungs a preparation made of Aus.
tr&lian eucalyptus and Lsterian anti
septics which is known the world over
as HYOMEI."
by breathing HYOMEI even once a
day, just the SAME sort of habit as
washing the mouth with Llsterine, any
person can destroy microbes even If
they are located i'll the most remote air

do you mean to say" said the
friend, that people are breathing
HYOMEI to kill microbes in the lungs
and prevent disease?"
Thousands Of them," said the scien-

Warns Socialism Is
Nations Big Menace

President Timothy Healy, OF tho In
ternational Brotherhood of Stationary
F'iremen, told Mrs. John Hays Ham
mond, Mrs. Medill Mccormick, Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins. and other members
Of the woman's welfare department of
the National Civic Federation that so
cialism is the worst thing that threatens
the United States today.
UNLESS employers cooperate with
employees" he said, at the banquet Of
the department at Rauscher's last
night socialism will surely triumph. II
would mean the downfall of the repub-
lie. Once socialism controls the cOun-
try the red flag of anarchy will take the
place of the Stars and Stripes. But
with capitalists and WOrkingmen work
ing together poverty can be driven
away"
All the speakers said socialism could
he checked by cooperation. The ban
uuet, which was quite sumptuOus, was
declared by Senator Lodge to he a
milestone on the road of human prog
reSs.
Mrs. Mccormick discussed the estab-
lishment of lunch-roOms, rest-rooms
and gymnasiums in the factories by the
Woman's Welfare Department. Mrs.
Hammond spoke upon the endeavorS OF
the department to bring employers to a
sympathetic realization of the Condi-
lions under which their employees work.
The working people need cleaner work
rooms, better homes, she said, and
those comforts could be provided with
out loss to employers.
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, chairman Of
the Washington Section of the Depart
ment, outlined the plans for the estah-
llshment of homes for working girls
in Washington. One home, a lodging
house whose residents will form a club
to manage their household. will be
opened within the next month.

DR.. GRAY'S FAMILY
CERTAIN He IS DEAD
Brother-in-Law Requests the
Police to Seek for
Body.

Hope that DR.. William A. Gray, the
retired druggist, who has been mys-
teTiously missing since a week ago
today, Is still alive has been abandoned
by his relatives. and this morning, at
the request of the aged mans brother
in-law, George B. Chew, the police be-
gan dragging Rock creek in the vicinity
of Dumbarton avenue.
The police say that If DR.. Gray were
still alive and in the District of Colum-
bia 1t Is almost certain that some trace
or MIN would have been found by this
TIME.
Police Think Him Dead.
The police have been inclined for the
last two days to the theory that DR..
Gray was drowned in Rock Creek The
reason for flris is the fact that a man
answering Or. Gray's description was
seen wandering in Dumbarton avenue
last Thursday evening, the police say.
The avenue runs directly into Rock
Creek, which is ten or twelve feet deep
at this point. Suffering lapse of mem-
oiy. and perhaps temporarily deranged,
as his relatives believe, it is thought DIR.
Gray might have wandered to the edge
Of the creek and fallen in.
William II. II. Hoover, an inspector
in the Health Department and an inti-
mate friend Of DR. Gray, says that he
met him at Fifteenth and II streets
northwest last Thursday afternoon and
cCnverscd with him for several min
utes.
Retired Twenty Years Ago.
DR.. Gray retired from business about
twenty years ago. He has an unusually
large circle Of friends, and such a wide
acquaintance among persons in all parts
OF the District that the police say it
would be almost impossible for him 10
walk any distance on the street with
out being recognized. The publicity
given the case has put his friends on
tie lookout for him, while the police
have visited every hospital and other
retreat time and again without getting
any Clew to his whereabouts.
DR.. Gray is seventy-five years old. He
is feet inches tall, and has gray
hair and a long gray beard. He Is very
feeble. He wore a long dark brown
overcoat, a soft brown hat, brown
suit of clothes, and black shoes. He
disappeared from the waiting room at
the Georgetown University Hospital.
