Was in New Hampshire.

As to the tnsinuatton that he had MADE
a special trip to Senator Gallinger's home
in New Hampshire to consult him about
Ingham's appointment, Commissioner Ru-
dolph explained that while he was In
New Hampshire on a thirty days vaca-
ton, a letter from Senator Gallinger
asking that Ingham's name be considered
was forwarded to him. He replied under
the New Hampshire date line that he
would be glad TO consider the name. In
reply learning that he was only twenty
five miles away from his summer home,
Senator GalIinger asked him to stop in
and call one one Of his motoring ex-
cursions.
Some time after Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph
and friends motored over to Senator Gal
lingers farm for a social call. In the
course OF the visit Mr.. Rudolph told
Senator GalIinger that. upon the slight
acquaintance he then had with Ingham,
he did not believe he measured up to the
Job. but that he would consider the
name carefully when he returned TO
Washington. Subsequently, after he had
procured the Endorsement of 30 per cent
Of the insurance companies doing busi-
ness in the District. Ingham was ap-
pointed, all three OF the Commissioners
voting for him.
Asked II he was satisfied with Ing
hams work. Mr.. Rudolph replied:
He has been a courageous and effi-
cient officer. OF course, he may have
committed errors OF Judgment. but /
have been entirely satisfied with his ad-
ministration. Had / not been, would
have stepped in and made some
changes"

Less Than SIS, 900.

This resolution was passed eleven
days after the date of the report Of
the superintendent OF insurance, which
showed that IL the surplus OF the COM
pany had not been augmented by $226.-
rs through the revaluation of the
Southern Building. purchased three
days before the dating of the report,
the company. after subtracting Its liza
bilities, would have had a surplus of
less than $4,000 standing between the
company and insolvency.
Mr.. Redheld, speaking through Com
missioner Judson. the witness, arrived
at the large loss, which he attributes
to the ten months in question, by the
following line Of figuring:
DeducinE from the total disburse-
ments of the company for the year
$33O.756.5S. all items which might not
be charged up TO underwriting eX
penses, he reaches Sss,96S.Tl as the un-
derwriting expenses for the ten months.
Adding to this the $145,O9O.57 paid out
to pOlicyholders for fire losses, he ar
rives at a total of 324t,O59.2S to be set
down as operating expenses for the
business for the ten months, that is,
expenses which might be expected TO
be incurred in the course of any ten
months.

Plans Police Protection.

Every chief OF ponce OIL Ne" "S4S''
will come to Washington for the lnau-
guration upon Mr.. Wilson's invitation.
Mai Sylvester, chairman of the pubic
order committee. will invite the chiefs
of about 100 other cities, selecting them
from among the members OF the Inter
national Police Chiefs Association, OF
which he is president. 1t will be hard
for a criminal to pass along the Avenue
during inaugural week without meeting
some one who knew him somewhere.
Mai Sylvester plans to have 100 de-
tectives from other cities. He will get
the best men he can from the metropoll-
tan buearus of the big cities and these
will be chosen because of their large
acquaintance among the professional
crooks The effete of the underworld
are expected to attend the inauguration
and it is the majors intention to have
as competent a committee as the 'coun-
try can assemble for their reception.
Until Congress makes the necessary
appropriation no definite arrangements
will be made for police protection for
inauguration. Upon action by Congress
the personnel of the public order COM
mIttee will be selected and other ar
rangements completed. Several hun
dred, who have the veal Of the common
wealth at heart. have made applications
TOT upon AhOoS
who are accepted will be sworn in as
special policemen" They will have to
wear a big red badge, a pretty tin star,
and probably. even get their names in
the papers, but, notwithstanding, many
have been found who will bear all this
for the sake of helping TO preserve pub
lie order on occasion of the Inaugural

of the District would have an opportu-

was a member. will follow the college
presidents in the parade, and that the
class of Chairman McCombs will come
next.

cally completed the list of citizens who
will serve. The announcement of the
general committee, with that of the
finance committee, Is expected to put the
plans for the inaugural ceremonies on a
working basis. and the subcommittees
are being formed one by one. and their

his Office assistants, got matters into

Interest in the women's organizations
expected to participate in the inaugural
parade is growing. Mrs. Belva A. LOCK-

of several organizations had asked her TO
march in the parade.

marcher I should be-" Mrs. lockwood
stated, but 1 think 1t is a good idea
for the women to be in the parade, and

hugs and Texas Tommies will be allowed
at the inaugural ball is yet unanswered.

the most dangerous. AZ we'll as one
of the most pathethic circumstances
that can well be imagined.
Nor is this condition purely To-
cal one. Leading educators through
out the country are agitating the
question at the present time. In n
recent address before the National
Educational Association, given in St
Louis, Superintendent Christensen Of
the Salt Lake public schools made
the matter the burden of his discour-
sc.
The power of mental suggestion is
most potent one bearing with It
the shaping of the life Of the individ.
ual affected for veal or woe. Then
too, modern scientists inform us that
the human mind is so constructed as
to absorb certain studies with avid
ity while toward others it may fail
to manifest any response. SO then
these children who have been forced
to undergo the humiliation and em.
barrassment Of being held back be-
cause of failure to grasp a particular
branch of study may be after all AS
NORMAL AS THE AVERAGE
ADULT. What injustice then, what
cruelty, to continue to aflict them
further with our own blind ignor-
ance!
Furthermore, viewed from a strict
ly business standpoint the PROPOSE
ton as advocated by Superintendent
Molyneaux will pay. AS he points
out the arrangement calls for but two
rooms, and two additional teachers.

$500, the cost of maintenance, or a
net saving over the present expense

mendations, the GREAT SAVING,
