"HERMES" MAY BE SENT
HERE, MORGANTHOU SAYS
Discounts Report Stating Greek
Government Refuses to Loan
Praxiteles Statue.
Br the Associated Press.

LONDON, May Reports received
here from Athens that the Greek
government had denied the intention
of loaning the Praxiteles statue
Hermes to America as an inspiration
for art study were discounted today
by Henry Morganthau, here on his way
from Greece to the United States, who
recently announced the assent OF the
Greek authorities to the project In
which he is so deeply interested.
Mr.. Morgenthau said Premier
Panama stasion, before offering to loan
the famous art work, consulted
President Papoulis of the Greek
Archaeological Society and also the
American Psychologists in Greece, all
of whom agreed that the only risk in
sending the Hermes to the United
States would be the possibility that the
ship carrying it might go down. And
that, remarked Mr.. Morganthau, was
about one chance in a hundred
thousand.
"This is by no means the first time
Furopean art treasures have been
loaned to America" Mr.. Morganthau u
recalled. almost priceless paintings
were sent to Philadelphia in 1875 and
again to the ST. Louis exposition in
1903, and there is much more risk of
damage in transporting canvaSeS than
sculpture Anyway, Hermes has had
plenty of hard knocks in his time and
suffered broken legs and arms, not all
of which have been fully recovered.
Nevertheless the exquisite beauty of
the head and body of the ancient god,
with the infant Dionysus on his left
arm. remains one of the finest things
to be seen, even in Greece"

The National Guard of the District

efficiency that compares favorably with

BERLIN, May THE lockout de-
clared against the miners in the Ruhr
Valley yesterday, which is estimated
to have thrown 100000 men out of

Railroads Contend Automatic

HARAHAN CITES HUGE COST
Hearings Here Probably VIII Con-

TENS.
The hearings probably Will con-
tinue for several days. with the rail-

pensive

fective in 1920. 1t acted first in 1922,
ordering forty-nine roads to install
the devices on parts of their lines
by January /, 1926. The carriers
protested and were given a hearing,
but the order remained unchanged.
The commission, last January, ex-
tended its order to another group ol
short line railroads, and 1t was on
their protest that the present near

since the first train control order
was issued, stated that system OF

would have reduced the loss OF Ale

Most of the railroads represented
have expressed favor of the principle
of automatic train control, but con-
tend that devices have not yet been
sufficiently perfected to warrant IN

W. J. Harahan. president Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Hock,
ing Valley railway companies, told
the commission that automatic train
control is still in the experimental
stage, and that to install it now
would cause the railroads to spend
money which would not bring about
as much safety in operation
as if they were allowed to spend the
money in other directions.

by the owners of the drummer collee=

In addition to being among the
smallest books in the world, most of

of the queen of England's dolls
house are otherwise unique in char
acter.
They have been specially written
for the queen, and poems and es-
says which they contain are in the
authors own handwriting.
There are about 10 books in~the
library, 100 of which are entirely
original, and the queen is in the un-
precedented position of being the
holder of the copyright of each.
There is a piece of exquisite whimsi-
cality in the form of tiny autobio-
graphy by Sir James carrie. Then

Your Problems
M&f94zgm

Dear Miss Allen: / think the fol
lowing poem can express my thoughts
better, az my heart feels just as it is
written. Don't notice mistakes in
writing, but just what is in it. We
both still care for each other.
A boy friend that I once knew.
And for his equal there are few;
With him I went for three long years.
And for him have shed many tear.
The time came when we spoke no
more
And other boy friends came to my
door,
But with them I had no desire to go,
For it was still love l want you to
Back of our troubles a quire stood
Those that think love can be destroyed
like wood.
Their lectures. their curses on me
fell,
And the heart asks its cause they
knew quite well.
The quire excused theirself by saying,
"She soon forget" and trouble we are
saving.
They may be right, but nevertheless,
They are leaving my heart in terri
Bile mess.
Some day they'll wish this they had
not done.
From my young life they have robbed
much fun.
I am 10 and a few months old
Now give your advice on the lone
story I've told.
Would you give him up or not?
w. n. r.
You ask me whether you should
give up this boy you think so much
Of, but give me no reason for doing
so. Just because your friends do not
care for a boy Is no reason you
should not care for him. l judge
from this feeling poem you have writ
ten that you are very much in love.
1t is nothing to be ashamed of. Love
Is beautiful thing. You have tested
your feelings by going with other
boys. This is very wise thing for
you to have done and | would sug-
gest you to continue to see other
friends. Your age alone is a little
against you, for at your age there are
many more boy friends you can make
and possibly learn to care for as
much as you care for this one.
II the .'quire'' you refer to is your
parents, then / say do as your par
ents wish you to do, for II they do not
want you to 20 with this boy they
must have good reasons. Your moth
er and father are surely your best
friends after all. My only advice is
to keep on having good, lovely. times
with others and make as many friends
as possible. If he cares for you sin
cerely, he will wait for you.
