President Taft and the Jews.

The Jews need no defense" The
President, in his address to the Jews of
this city at the Eighth Street Temple,
as usual, has uttered the right express
sion in the right place. And when he
added that .'it was Jew who financed
the American Revolution, who did as
much in establishing the credit of the
new nation as did Washington on the
field of battle for the freedom of the
people," he stated a historical fact
which it would be wise for those
to remember who, according to the
President, ARE so snlall-headed that
when occasionally getting into the
directorate of club they manifest their
greatness by using a black ball and
shutting out men OF importance to the
community"
The occasion was the effort on the
part of the Jews of this city to erect
a memorial to Chain Solomon, that
patriotic Jew who advanced to the lead
ers Of the Revolution and to the first
administration of this country the sum
of S65o.ooo, not one cent of which has
ever been demanded of or paid back
by the United States. The President
did that which every fair-minded man
in his exalted position would do. He
pointed out the merit of the Jew as a
citizen and the lesson of how he is
often treated and how he should be
treated and more acknowledged and ap-
preciated. He uttered simple fact
when he said that the Jew is valued
member of our communities.
The Jews of Washington are acting
wisely when they propose to honor the

OUT OF CUPID'S BRLANE
Pauline Chase and Claude Graham,
White Not Engaged.

"hlte MOI Engaged.
From the New York American.
London, May 16.-The romance Of dainty
Pauline Chase, actress. and Claude Gra-

ingly on an airship in America, has
crashed to earth in England.
If Miss Chase is certain Of her facts,
no hearts were broken in the mishap.
The wings of Loves biplane simply re-
fused to fly any farther.
Some say that the real reason for the
unsuccessful flight was that Cupid, air
man, was caught between conflicting cur
rents-the aeronautic and the artistic tenn
peraments. Claude Grahame- White said,
right after the engagement was announc-
ed in New York last October, that
the betrothal would not interfere with
his flights. And Miss Chase said to-
night:
"Yes; It is true. There is no un-
pleasantness. Mr.. Grahame-W White real
lied, as we'll as I, that the engagement
was a mistake. After knowing him well.
I concluded that he could not compensate
me for retirement from the stage, Please
don't say that am engaged to any one
else"

MIXED DOUBLES
AT CHEVY CHASE
McClung and Miss Greble
Win at Tennis.

Play was continued in the Chevy Chase
Clubs annual closed tennis tournament
yesterday afternoon. but one match be-
ing decided. This was a good one. and
the large sized gallery did not regret the
trip. Miss NJ. Greble and Lee McClung.
the present club champion. met and de-
feated Miss Lawson and Wilcox in the
second round of the mixed doubles, 6-S
and Sl
This match was unusually interesting,
and the score does not show the relative
strength of the two couples. Although
victorious, the Wilcox pair did
not come out Of the fray altogether with
out honor as they pushed the winners
to the limit before they were able to
win.
The losers showed good teamwork, as
we'll as individual play, making several
spectacular shots and returns during the
match. Wilcox played an unusually
strong game. covering lots of ground and
being very effective with a swift cross
court drive, which he used as often as he
could. McCiung played to his best form,
using splendid Judgment, outguessing Miss
Lawson and Wilcox on many occasions.
His service was working we'll, and he
was exceptionally accurate and severe
overhead
The first set was the better of the
two. Miss Greble and McClung having
the hardest kind of a time to win out.
With the score two-all, they finally man.
aged 20 take four out of the next five
games, which were unusually fast ones,
by the way. thereby winning the set.
The winners are scheduled to meet Miss
Helen Taft and Mr.. Spencer in the semi
final round Of this class this afternoon,
and a good battle should result. The
summaries:
Mixed doubles; handicap-Sscond round: Miss NJ

Speaker Clark on Good Roads.

From a Recent Letter.
am delighted to know that the
Southern people are taking such an inter-
est in the matter Of good roads. Rock
and gravel roads are being built in near
ly every county In my district, and the
dirt roads are being improved very much
Pike County. Mo-. in which 1 live, has
225 miles Of the finest gravel roads in the
world. and they are being gradually ex-
tended.
The man who will invent or discover
some cheap material for making good
wagon roads will be one OF the greatest
public benefactors. Good roads increase
the value of land very much and increase
the pleasure of living. 1 think every rea-
sonable inducement ought to be held out
to people to build good roads.

the Algiers Cornice & Plumbing
Works assembled in the offices of the
firm and requested an interview with
the president. Mr.. julius Bodenger.
The deputation of employees was

sion to make use of it, he will take
pleasure and pride in the knowledge
that the gift came spontaneously from
