2 Here's a piece of news that
may have great significance.
| have just received word that
Max May, at one time vice pres
idept of the Guaranty Trust
Company, of New York, and
recognized as the largest han
dler Of foreign exchange oper-
ations in America. has just been
appointed director of the Rus
sian Commercial Bank at Mos
COW.
Mr.. May was vice president
Of the National Bank of the Re-
public, Chicago, when he re-
Gently left for Europe.
The Russian Commercial
Bank, / understand, has been
formed jointly by the Soviet
government and important for
eign interests, notably Swedish.
In a communication just re-
ceived, Mr.. May says: 81 am
highly pleased with my new
position"
Does this suggest that it is
ut last becoming possible to
conduct real banking operations
IN a businesslike way in Rus
sia?
Did you catch the Significance
Of the fact that John d. Rookie.
Teller, ST., no longer owns a sim
gle share of his original oil COM
cern. the Standard Oil Com
pany Of New Jersey-the big
gest of them all?
President Teagle on the witness
stand at WASHINGTON this week
revealed that it is John D.. jr.,
who now owns the Rockefeller
share, amounting to ia per
cent of the total. As the total
common stock capitalization Of
the company is $625. ono 900,
this means that young Rookie
feller's holdings represent
market value of about S140,-
600, 900.
WY tnis trdnSleT.
BY adopt'-g this course, no
Inheritance ,.-x will have to be
paid bv the estate of the elder
Rockefeller-at least no in
heritance tax on this chunk of
his fortune.
If the whole truth were
known, it probably would be
found that the great bulk of
the Rockefeller fortune has al
ready been handed over to
John D., jr. His father has
implicit confidence in the judg-
ment, the integrity and the
soundness of purpose of his
only son. Mr.. Rockefeller, ST.,
once told me that it was one
of the deepest joys of his life
that his sen had become so
earnestly interested in fur
thering the meanwhile .hings
of life.
The control of the Rockefel-
Ter millions will be in safe,
sober. well-intentioned hands.
The foremost business man
in the northern half of the Pa
cific coast, E. A. Stuart. presi-
dent of the Carnation Milk
Products Company, with head
quarters in Seattle, sends me
this friendly letter:
II have been reading your
articles on finance and am very
interested in what you say
about the probability of rise
in prices and your warnings
against unnecessary price boost
ing. | think you have the sit
uation about as well analyzed
as it is possible for a human
being to do at this time. Sure
ly the situation is such that it
is difficult for a business man
TO predict with any degree Of
certainty what the future has
In store.
Personally | regret to see
advances in prices at this time,
for | feel sure that later they
will decline, and under those
conditions the most of the
people naturally become un-
settled-not knowing what turn
business will take. Nothing
upsets business more than to

Early Rising.

My rude forefathers used to say,
III you expect to grow and thrive,
at 9 o'clock you'll hit the hay, and
you'll get up at half past S. In day
light hours you'll strive and strain,
and in the night you'll calmly
snooze; the early bird" they would
explain, "rakes in the worm that
sluggards lose" Through all the
younger years of mine the course
prescribed was fairly run, and I was
sound asleep by 9, and up a-coming
with the sun. And now that l am
growing old, my sorrel whiskers
streaked with gray, the ingrown
habit keeps its hold. and I am up
at break O day. And when the
clocks are striking 9, and darkness
wells the windswept lea, I say,
That downy couch of mine. up near
the roof, looks good to mel" When
consult the village vet, who doc
tors me when l am i'll, he says,
You're good for long years yet
you do not need the leech's skill.
It's wonderful how blithe you skip
beneath the burden of your years !;
while other graybeards lose their
grip, you're husky as yoke of
steers!" The wise old maxims of
our dads in modern days don't al
ways thrive; but still some bright,
precocieus lads retire at 9 and
rise at S.

PIONEER CITIZENS
TOPEN MEMORIES
Plan Of Washington Topham
Adopted by Oldest Inhab-
itantS' Association.

The headquarters of the Association
of Oldest Inhabitants of the District
of Columbia is destined to become
a gold mine of information concern
ing Washington and it's early his
tory.
Each one of the several hundred
pioneer citizens who make up the
organization last night was deputized
to write his memories of old Wash
inSton. read them to his fellow men,
bers and have them filed in the ar
chives.
Washington Topham suggested the
plan after listening to an interesting
paper of "reminiscences written thirty
years ago by the late Benjamin C.
wright, a former vice president of
| the association. The document was
read by his son. j Eliot Wright, now
secretary of the oldest inhabitants.
who said he found it only few days
ago among some Of his fathers ef-
fects.
Mr.. Topham, after moving that Mr..
Wright's memoirs of old Washing
ton be placed in the archives. said
he felt confident that every man now
in the organization has stored away
IN his memory many enlighteninG
facts about the city of fifty years ago.
He made formal motion. which was
adopted. calling upon all members to
record their recollections.
Endorsed by President.
Theodore W. Noyes, president of the
association, indorsed the proposal Of
Mr.. Topham and urged his associates
to prepare their chronicles in the
near future.
were written in September. 1898, and
told of the Washington of 1910. He
was born in Alexandria when that
city was part of the District of Co
lumbia, and he pictured it as thriv-
ing and busy seaport. it's docks lined
wharves loaded with products from
the West Indies and South America.
Keen rivalry existed between the
boys of different neighborhOOds in
Washington in those early days, and
Mr.. Wright told of the strategy he
had to employ to avoid trouble with
the various juvenile clans when he
journeyed from Alexandria to this
city on business for his father.
Halted by Boys.
Being a stranger to the youth of
Washington, he invariably would be
halted and asked whether. he was a
friend of the Capitol Hill. the navy
yard or the city boys. Mr. Wright.
according to his memoirs. always
avoided trouble by declaring alleg-
lance to the group that halted him.
The association also listened to an
eloquent eulogy of Amibile Samuels.
popular member of the association.
who died a few weeks ago. The trib-
ute was written by Rev. John T. Hud-
dleston and read by Secretary Wright.
Mr. Samuels was born on the Island
Of Malta, and when a young man en-
listed in the British navy. When Ad-
miral Farragut stopped at Malta on
his cruise around the world, Samuels
resigned from the service of Great
Britain and became an American
sailor. He spent the greater part
of his life as a musician in the Ma
rine Band,
Where Old Station Was Located.
John B. Mccarthy started a brief
discussion when he asked his asso-
ciates if they recalled whether the
old Baltimore and Ohio passenger
station was on the northwest or the
northeast corner of I'd street and
Pennsylvania avenue The concensus
Evening star., 1922-10-05

was that the structure occupied the
northwest corner.
Washington Topham. chairman of
the entertainment committee, was
authorized to proceed with plans for
the anniversary celebration Of the as
soclation on December I. and report
at the November meeting. Capt.
George w. Evans announced that he
is preparing a sketch on the life Of
Gov. Alexander Shepherd, and would
read 1t at the next meeting.
The following were elected mem
bers: Henry f. Williams. Joseph A.
Dempf, Augustus Lepreux, jr., and
Albert F. Watson.

Should Knit Scarf
to Match Sweater

The industrious knittcr is already
busy with preparations for summer
days. and when buying yarn for her
sweater the wise woman this year will
get a little more than is required for
the sweater and knit herself a match
ing scarf
The sweater and matching scarf are
particularly smart when the former is
of the sleeveless type. As a matter of
fact, q band or other ornament for the
hat, matching sweater and scarf, is not
q bad idea.
The all-white sweater will be popular
this season because of the vogue for
very bright colored sports skirts, and
naturally q bright hued sweater with
white skirt is tremendously good look
Ing
Knit wear manufacturers are offer
ing very smart outfits, consisting of
sleeveless, guimpe dresses with capes
to match. but making one Of these by
hand would be rather an appalling task,
even for the most Industrious and am
bilious knitter.
In the lineup Of sports apparel, the
striking plaid jacket or hip length coat
is again approved, and there is prac-
tical1y no limit to the capes shown.
Bold Tartan plaids are effectively de-
veloped into sports capes and cape

DOG STILL FAITHFUL.
Canine Remains True to Boxer Who
 Dies Following Bout.

South Orange, July 2s.--While the body of Leslie w. Crawford, feather weight boxer who died on Sunday from a hemorrhage of the brain fol- lowing a boxing bout with Thomas Gerard, was being carried out of the Crawford home here yesterday after noon for burial. Rover, the dead box CTS faithful companion, was locked in the Crawford gymnasium. The animal had been continually pining and running wildly about the com munty ever since the boxers death. The dog had accompanied Crawford on his daily training jaunts in the Orange Mountains and yesterday a policeman found Rover running about and yelping mournfully in the South Mountain Park reservation, where he had been in the habit of strolling with the boxer every morning during the last 8 months.
 To prevent the dog from interrupt ing the funeral services J. Frederick Crawford. father of the dead boxer, locked the animal in the gymnasium. He said he believed the animal will soon die of grief for his dead master. Crawford was buried in Hollywood |HemterX Unionville.
