MOTHERS OF HERO DEAD
WOULD VISIT FRANCE
President Asked to Help Make Ex-
penses of Trip as Low as
Possible.

President Harding today was asked
by committee representing the Gold
Star Association of America to use
it possible for the many mothers and
wives and other relatives Of American
soldiers buried in France to visit the
graves of the latter at as little per-
sonal expense as possible.
1t was suggested to the President
that it would be a noble and gracious
act on the part of the government" if
transportation could be Furnished to
the thousa ndS of women in this coun-
try who are eager to visit the graves
Of their loved ones" The committee
suggested also that it might be pos
sible for the government to tender the
use of some Of the larger battleships
or transports or one or more Of the
large ships of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation.
The committee was composed of
Mrs. A. B. Church. Mrs. Charles Neisel
and Mrs. Harmon A. Nedder, all of
New York. They told the President
those mothers and other relatives who
have been financially able to visit the
graves in France and pointed out that
there are thousands of others who
would like this opportunity, but who
cannot afford to make the trip.
The President told his callers that
he fully appreciated their interests
and all that their suggestion meant
and that he would take it under con-
sideration.

DEATH DODGER URGED
ORDER WOODEN LEG
so AS TO BE PREPARED

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, Novem-
Der % tSpeciaD.-After falling
out of an airplane at a height of
100 feet into the Potomac river
and being injured five times in an
equal number of automobile acci-
dents this year, Capt. Blanchard
Robey, pilot of a government mai(
boat here and former George
town University foot ball star,
received the greatest shock OF his
life today in letter from a firm
in Minneapolis, Mimi, urging him
to purchase a wooden leg. Despite
mis- numerous accidents. Capt.
Robey still is in perfect physical
condition. except that he limps
slightly from the effects of a leg
which was broken several months
ago, when an automobile in which
he was riding turned turtle at
King George Court House, Va.
The letter pointed out that If
Capt. Robey had no immediate use
for wooden leg, he probably
would need it soon, and that the
firm would be pleased to have his
measurements.

T0DELAY CHOOSING
NEW POLICE HEAD
Gessford's Successor Not
Likely to Be Appointed
for a Month.

Selection of successor to Maj. Cess
ford, who retired last week, as super
intendent of the District police de-
partment. may not be made by the
Commissioners for a month or more.
The Commissi oners are going to
take their time in filing the vacancy,
and it is not improbable Acting Chief
Sullivan will administer the affairs of
the police department during the bal
ance of the year.
Commissioner oyster, who exercises
special supervision over the depart
ment, will make the recommendation
to his colleagues as TO the filling OF
the vacancy. Much pressure is being
brought to bear upon the Commits
sioner by members of Congress and
others in favor of several persons who
have been mentioned for the position.
Indications at the District build
ing today were that politics will play
4 small part in the selection of new
police head. The Commissioners want
to get the best man available, and
are going to base their decision on
merit considerations. That is why
they are going to take plenty of time
in making a decision.

PLANNING OUTDOOR
GIRLS RIFLE MEET
Eastern High School En-
thusiasts Feel Hopeful of
Good Showing.

While athletic instructors in the
Washington high schools are dis
cussing proposal to stage an out
girls rifle teams next spring, the girls
at Eastern High School are being
given an intensive course in rifle
shooting. Some of'the girls on East
ern's team, neophytes with rifle and
ammunition in September, under the
guidance of competent instructors.
are rapidly developing into expert
marksmen. With less than two
months practice, the girls are max
ing remarkable scores. in some in
stances, as high as 49 out of pos
Sible so points.
Organized during the last scholastic
year by Miss Cecilia (Jack) Martin
who passed out of the school with the
last graduating class. the girls rife
team of Eastern has notable record
Of past performances despite its in
fancy. The team engaged in but two
competitive matches last year. ana
these were held with the girls rifle
team of Central High School. Eastern
defeated the Central team decisively
in one match. and lost the other by
narrow margin.
Forty Are Practicing.
If the plans for an interhigh school
match between the girls rifle teams
materialize. the Eastern girls feel
confident that they will make an en-
viable showing. There are approXi-
mately forty girls at Eastern, VINO
are practicing rifle shooting. and
from this material first-class team
is virtually assured.
Edna MazZullo. a comely Eastern
student, is captain of the girls rlne
team and is an expert in the art or
handling rifle. Other expert shots
on the team are Dorothy Pyle, Alta
Bodenhammer. Marguerite Lingrell.
Mary Tesh, Eleanor Metz and Louise
Smith.
Practice shooting is now held in the
basement room of the school,. whlch
is converted into a range when not
used for other purposes. The equip
ment and facilities for the team are
inadequate. but in spite of this ap-
parent handicap the girls are steadily
improving their scores.
Plan Modern Range.
Enthusiasm among the girls on the
rifle team has been increased with
The promise of school authorities to
provide in the new Eastern High
School. which is now under construc-
ton, one of the most modern rine
ranges in the United States. Accord
ing to present plans. the range in the
new school win be 1855 feet long and
so feet wide. 1t will have eleven tar
gets for full charge ammunition.
If the outdoor rifle match is held
between the girls teams in the va
rious high schools, it is likely that the
victorious team will be matched
against picked boys team. This
proposal is being given serious cons
sideration by school athletic advisers

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER.
Report Shows Australian Finances
on Upgrade.

show continued improvement. accord
ing to a report to the Department of
Commerce today from Trade Com
missioner Sanger at Melbourne. On
the whole, the situation is much bet
ter than it was a few weeks ago, Mr..
Sanger declared.
The improvement. the report as
serted, is evidenced by the advance in
exchange. and as the export figures
continue to increase and imports to
decline there are prospects, he added,
of still further Improvement. The wool
market remains generally firm. but

meat-packing industries

SERVICE MEN FIND .
LIVING COSTS HIGH
Little Reduction Seen Is
Testimony Before Joint
Congress Committee.

Little relief from the high cost Of
living in the District of Columbia has
yet been felt by service men. accord
ing to testimony given today before
the Joint congressional committee in
vestigating Army pay by Col f. j..
Munson of the general staff corps.
Officers detailed on duty in Wash
ington are not able to obtain quar-
ters within the allowance made for
tkem by the government, he pointed
out. While he expressed the belief
that tie Ball rent at had brought
some relief to the permanent resi-
dents of Washington, he told the COM
mittee it had not helped the service
men who are here and have to obtain
quarters quickly.
Tendency TO Higher Rents.
The tendency has been among local
landlords, he said, to increase the
rent of the property every time an
old tenant moves out. II service
man happens to be the next one m he
has to shoulder the increase. He said
that when officers are ordered here
they have to take the first quarters
availab BILE, regardless of cost.
Questionnaires were sent out tn
Army officers on duty in the city. he
said, and the replies indicated that
$3.50 a month for quarters, and then
were not obtaining the full number
of rooms allowed for their respective
grade. This appliedtsto about one
half of the officers, hk$aid.
He presented chaM to the COM
mittee which shod that house
rent in Washingtonsand elsewhere
had increased on an average df 81
per cent since 1914. He pointed out,
however. that the average had thkeu
the large cities where the rentsi had
materially increased, as well as the
small towns where there had been
little if any boost in the prices.
Charts Show Increase.
He introduced other charts to show
the increased cost of living. Col.
Munson spoke particularly of the in
crease in the price Of coal here. Since
1913, he said. furnace coal had in
creased ll5 per cent, stove coal ll0
per cent and nut coal 101 per cent

crease. to heat their quarters with
the allowance made by the governs
