STARTS VISITING

Miriam Battista, Here at Co.
Iumbia, Visits Hospital and
Bathing Beach.

This was another busy day for
pretty Miriam Battista, diminutive
movie star, who is appearing in per-
son at the Columbia Theater and
spreading good cheer in Washing
ton.
Shortly after noon she went to
the Children's Hospital, where she
not only frolicked and played with
the youngsters there, but enter
tanned them with number of in.
teresting and amusing stories, jokes
and recitations. Later the little
movie star enjoyed luncheon at the
Occidental Hotel, and still later went
to the bathing beach to cool Off be-
fore going on" at the Columbia
Theater.
Miss Battista was most enthusias.

ed her by President Harding yes

tive appeared quite smitten with
her beauty and precocity and chat.
ted affably with her for a much long.
er time than he usually does with
his guests.
The little movie star and "Laddie
Boy" were introduced by President
Harding and they Immediately be-
came the best OF friends. They
romped and played around the
White House grounds for a lons
time, and-as you might guess
all the while a motion picture
camera man was on the job grinding
out q film which Miss Battista says
she will always treasure.
Before she departs from Washing

other hospitals and orphanages and

setary Of the Treasury.
This admission was made on auth.
ority Of Secretary Mellon.
The resignation. submitted to
President Harding some days ago,
was effective Saturday, July Is.
While it had been known for a
week that the resignation had gone
TO the White House. today was the
first time any interested official had
confirmed the fact.
Dover was at his office in the
Treasury yesterday, but announced
that he was leaving last night for
New York on private business. Ask.
ed concerning his resignation. he
replied:
II have nothing to say. Any state
ment on that subject must come

Blair had not resigned and would
not.
No consideration has been given as
yet to Dover's successor. 1t was
stated at the Treasury, and none will
be until formal announcement of the
resignation comes from the Presi-
dent.
The Dover-Blair controversy that
has ragged for months and kept the
Treasury in a state Of turmoil now
appears to be a closed chapter.

himself: "Yo no, for no devil, say l.
The old rascal likes music. | sing to
keep him contented so he won't snatch
at me. Bolt shot! Chain fast!
Here's window up--just asking
careless l wonder they button them
selves"
o the steps Of the church comes
Twist, deformed beggar-an unfor-
tunate fellow who because of his real
infirmities is an outcast with the other
beggars of town: Whimp, who pro-
fesses blindness; Blat, who Stimulates
deafness, and Squeak, who would be
dumb. The three, between their
whines for aims, drive Twist to the
gutter where no villagers pass. A
Ballad Monger offers his songs for
penny or two. A student passes,
swelled with pride at the thought that
he has read through great tome on
humility.
The great Doctor Bombastes is COM
ing to town; he will be awarded de-
gree by the university as soon as he
has performed a miracle. A local doc
tor, plotting the great mans discom-,
future, suggests that he cure a leper
or raise from her helplessness bed
ridden woman. Twist comes to the
visitors assistance; why not "cure"
the three other beggars Of their all
ments? Bombastes agrees. For beer,
and fiommery cake, and kisses of the
maidens who most certainly will con-
gratulate them, they will severallyl
toss aside their affectations. The Syn
die, politician that he is, arranges
program; Bombastes is introduced, eff
fects his miracles, receives hugh
medal
But week later the "cured" beggars
regret their haste-and Twist, lonely
in his alms-asking, plans their rein
statement. Bomhastes, he assures
them, was certainly witch; as re-
suit they may be hanged for witches.
The Syndic, knowing his villagers,
plans general hanging that will in
clude Twist and the Ballad Monger-
who misrepresents his wares--as we'll
as the healed beggars. But happy
plot saves them all.
Here Is something to be read. The
sinner is redeemed. Forget the silly
"Wappin' Wharf" and the brumma-
gem whimsy of its introduction--fo
when his material is of the right sort
Mr. Brooks is capable of delightful
fantasy.
