IF OLD ORGAN COULD SPEAK!
instrument in National Museum Might Settle Interesting Question Con-
 corning Immortal George"

If church organs could talk, there is one at the National museum that could settle the question whether or not George Washington mapped through Sunday sermons in Christ church. The decision could be strictly relied on, for the reason that the organ was there at the time. Unfortunately for history, the tall and somewhat grandfather -elockish instrument Is dumb in every key of its five octaves, though to any mathematician able to put two and two together and make five of it. it's dim mahogany and tarnished gilt speaks for the prosperity of our ancestors two centuries back, who could afford to import luxuries until war came along and gave us liberty and home made melodeons.
 "The George Washington organ" was brought from England in 1700, but was not placed in the Alexandria edifice until it had served in the choir of a church in another part of Vir- ginia. After an uncertain stay in Christ church (so far as the label will divulge) its adventures took 1t to Shepardstown and later to Han- cock, Md, where it remained until the vestry donated it to the museum, where it now heads a collection of musical instruments which vary in size from a rattle to a grand piano and represent every world-period, from Pans pipes to jazz.

 Voices arose in eager demands fo more detailed information. Property and rents would go up! The town stores would quadruple their business ]! The rich golden harvest was coming at last
 But what about this horrible tast ing water?' queried Bross. with a wry face.

 And where Is that?"
 "Down In forgotten corner of that poor, neglected farm your boy lives on over in the ravine. Now, Neigh bor Bross, as all the town is happy over the grand general prosperity ahead of us, suppose you go down to the rayine farm and congratulate you son, Bradley, and his wife on their share in the general good luek?"
 And thus # was that tie name ot the popular Dawes became house hold word in Hopeville for all time to come.

WHITE SLAVE CASE RUSH.
Department Of Justice Has More to
Do Than Ever Before.

Investigations and prosecutions un-
der the Mann white slave" act are
giving the Department of Justice off,
Gals more to do at present than at
any time since the law became oper-
alive. and the indications are that the
convictions during the present fiscal
year will considerably exceed those Of
last year, when the number was 342.
The department. through the bureau
of investigation, concerns itself only
with cases in which vice is being
promoted through interstate traffic for
profit, and does not, as a rule. attempt
to exercise a police power against i'm
morality. Where case is particular
~ notorious. or where the victim is
under age, or has been grossly de-
ceived. prosecution is pushed in the
federal courts.
Increased work is being put on the
bureau also because of the statute
making it a federal offense to take a
stolen automobile from one state to

was called to the peculiar fact by
officials today that the law in Ques-
ton places automobiles in an entirely
different class from other articles Of
personal property, as it is not an Of
Tense against the federal statutes to

VOICE Community
CENTER NEED HERE
Board of Trade Urges Con-
gress to Restore $35,000
Appropriation.

Believing that the community serv-
ice feature of the public schools is
meeting the needs of the people for
self-expression. developing community
interests and fostering civic pride. the
hoard of directors of the Washington
Board of Trade, at a meeting yester-
day, adopted resolution urging Con-
greSS to restore the item of $4,000 for
the maintenance of community centers
in the public school buildings of the
District of Columbia.
The directors point out in the reso-
luton that a joint committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
and the Board of Trade made an ex-
tensive investigation of the commu-
nifty work in the schools and that the
findings of the committee were unani-
mously in favor of the work done by
the community centers. The investi-
cation took in every phase of commu-
nifty work, and the committee
found that the community centers of
fit to the people than the community
service incorporated. an outgrowth of
the war camp community service.
The directors are anxious that the
work done by the community centers
be continued. Such use of the public
schools, in the opinion of the board,
is economically right, on account of
the large investment in public schoo!
buildings. and because the money to
build and maintain these buildings is
supplied by the people through their
taxes, and because such community
use of the public school buildings has
the approval and support of Congress.
On receipt of a letter from the in
augural co0mittee calling the atten-
ton of the directors to previous in
augurations, when Unauthorized in
dividuals have printed certain valu-
able information and published their
own unauthorized programs and sold
them on the streets at much less fig
ure than the official program sold"
the directors voted to request all mer-
chants of the city to advertise only
in the official publication.
The following were elected members
Of the board: Samuel r. Baulsir. H.
McLin Bell, S. r. Bowen, Ernest w.
Brown. Maynard C. Burrell. Joseph
Burrows, jr.; w. H. Dunn, Hugh w.

BOUNDARY REPORT MADE,
Special Master Douglas Hears Geor.
gia VS.. South Carolina Shit.

Charles s. Douglas, special master,
appointed by the United States Su-
preme Court to take testimony in the
original boundary suit instituted by
Georgia against South Carolina, pre-
sented to the court today a formal re-
port on the hearings thus far held by
him.
The line in dispute between the two
states lies along the Savannah and
Tugaloo rivers. from the mouth Of
the Savannah north to the North
Carolina border. Georgia claims ju-
risdiction over the Savannah river
and its numerous islands on the
ground that all the territory in ques-
ton was specifically included in the
original royal grants.
The report submitted to the court
comprises documentary evidence from
royal charters and orders and ex-
cerpts from legislative proceedings
in colonial days intended to support
the contentious of both sides.

Another Plea for the Coach.

10 tne EQltOr OF Ine star:
1t seems that the sentiment con.
tanned in my suggestion that the
Washington family coach be used in
the inaugural parade as a presiden.
tial carriage has been lost sight OF
or has been subordinated to ease and
luxury in the choice Of modern
automobile. ! am sure that no single
feature of the parade would attract
as much attention or please the PEG
pie more. 1t would be remembered
when every other feature was forgot
ten. 1t would also add a new interest
to the historic vehicle all through
the coming years to say that it was
used 120 years after the death of the
first President to convey two of his
successors to and from the inaugura-
ton in 1921. The American people
would not consider it in the slightest
degree "reactionary" for the chief ex-
ecutive to ride in this coach, but
would applaud the action as an honor
to the father Of our country and a
greater honor to the man of the pres
ent hour. If we cannot have this,
how would it do to have George
Washington. Martha Washington and
Nellie Custiss unprecedented and use
the coach anyway?

$135, 900, 900 FOR CARS.
Railroads Also Plan to Spend $1O5
100000 for Locomotives.

The sum Of s349,5oo.ooo was spent
by railroads Of the United States for
new equipment during 1920, accord
ing to figures announced by Rob-
ert S. Binkerd of the Association
OF Railway Executives. The largest
item of expenditure was $135,000, 00o
for $4,000 freight cars, and the rail-
roads. Mr.. Binkerd said. now are try
ing to make financial arrangements
to secure an additional total Of
$4,000 cars. Purchase of $4,000 re-
frigerator cars, at a cost of $67,-
100000. and 1,500 new locomotives.
at cost Of $105.O00, 900. is planned.
and contracts already have been made
for 1000 passenger cars, to cost
$42.000,000.
In addition to equipment contract
ed for by the railroads, the Pullman
Company, Mr.. Binkerd said, is build
ing 500 new cars, none having been
built during federal control
Mr.. Bifikerd declared it would be
impossible for the railroads to make
large capital expenditures, even II
the new freight and passenger rates
bring the roads a Per cent return,
as they would be forced to go into
a 7,and 8 per cent money market to
secure needed funds.
