Parker Gilbert, Financial Cen
ius, Takes Place In Repara-
tons Administration
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Octob-
Ter, 1924 is destined 10 be a big
month in the life of S. Parker Gil
bert Jr., youthful financial genius,
who while in ms twenties, as under
secretary of the United States Treas
urv. won from the government
fiscal workers the title of "Ihe
Brains of the Treasury"
On Oct. 8 Gilbert will be mar
ried to Miss Louise TODD of Louis
vile, Ky.
Three days later, Oct. II, he will
sail with his bride to take up MS
labors as agent genera. in the ad-
ministration of German repara-
tiofs under the Dawes plan,
The Gilbert-Todd nuptials in
cidentally, will cause quite an cXo-
dus of official and social notables
from Washington to Louisville. Gill
bert. as a most eligible" young man
during the days Of his service as un-
der-secretary, was socially as well
as officially popular.
His bride-to-be, who mas spent
two winters in Washington, wnere
she was active in amateur society
theatricals, is regarded as viz
tually Washingtonian.
Announcement of the Gilbert
Todd engagement, however, was
something of a surprise to then
friends here. Gilbert had been en-
gagged, by rumor, at various times
to various Washington buds, and
at one time it was whispered he
was to become the son-in-law OF
his then boss, Secretary Mellon
All these rumors, however,

proved bageless, and Gflbert's
friends at last decided he was
welded to finance; that he was an
unromantic individual after all,
with a heart as impereHable as
the chilled-steel vaults in the treas
ury sub-basement.

But the Preparations job re-
vealed the romance. Il hadn't been
expected to announce the engage
ment for a couple Of months yc5,
and the wedding wasn't to have been
until January.
But could even the most able
financial wizard keep his mind on
reparations, in Europe, while his
sweetheart was back in Louisville,
KY, u. s. "a?
Gilbert and Miss Todd decided
that he couldn't. At least that he
shouldn't have to try.
A sweetheart in Louisville, It
was agreed, would be a bigger
handicap than a bride in Berlin.
So the date of the wedding was
advanced four months, the hurried
invitations sent out and Gilbert
reserved the bridal suite on a liner
for France.
Much mystery has been main
tanned as to the reasons, if any,

The fact that Mccormick is L

ROMERO STOPPED BY FLOYD

Friday night at Madison Square Gar

and twice foored Chilean opponent
in the early stages of the battle. Ro-
nero fought back desperately, however
and once sent Johnson to his knees
with a we'll directed blow. 1t was evil
dent from the first that Johnson was
too clever for the South American and
he had lit lie difficulty in landing heavy
swings at distance boxing and in the
clinches he held his more powerful riv
al comparatively helpless.
Romero gradually weakened under
punishment and In the seventh round
a hard right swing to the jaw sent him
down for the count.

Before the formation of the preser
Negro National League, according to
Clarke, Hendricks was interested in
the formation of a colored league in
the West, and tried hard to put this
project over.
Among the men whom he helped to
develop are: Del Clarke, VINO has past
timed in every big city in the West, be
ing at one time recognized as the peer

cage of the great snake. Curator Dit
mars stood near him. Dass, his MINI
BILE fingers flying over the strings,
drew weird melodies and strange har'
monies from the STAR gradually in
creasing the volume and raising the
key until the reptile house seemed
filled with millions of tiny humming
insects.
As the notes mounted higher and
higher the cobra slowly rose from the
centre of his coil. AS Dass sustained
his tones the snake appeared to re-
spond; first shivering slightly and
then shaking through more than half
the length. Then as the music follow
ing the lower notes Of the melody be-
came subdued the snake appeared to
collapse, falling to the pebbled floor OF
the cage. Again the student increased
his pace on the star and again the CO.
bra slowly rose six feet or more from
the centre Of its coil and as the music
died away the snake shivered convul-
siveIy and fell again.
Mr.. Ditmars, who had been skeptical
decided to take part in the trial. He
sent Keeper Fred Taggart for his pho.
nograph and some records. Taggart
brought the instrument and records, In
Guiding the latest jazz and grand
opera, and set 1t up in front Of the
cage.
"At first" Mr.. Ditmars said yester
day, 1--WE obtained about the same re-
suits that Dass with his sitar had, but
finally the. snake began to appear
more excited, rising and sustaining its
perpendicular position, shaking itself

and shivering and finally collapsing,
only to rise again. We. tried various
records. The piano appeared to have
no effect at all; neither did the human
voice, male or female, but orchestra
music appeared to obtain results. Jazz
records where the notes walled and
sustained themselves for long periods
much longer than the tones Of the
stringed instruments, had the great
est effect. Finally 1 put on a grand
opera record, something with lots Of
brass; Wagnerian, or something like
it, and the result for the purposes OF
Dass,s thesis were the best we had
succeeded in getting. The response on
the cobra's part might be called al.
most appreciative. The snake remalnea
extended to a height of seven feet for
the longest period 80 far in any Of the
experiments and swayed and writhed
as the full tones Of the heavy brass in
struments came from the photograph
The curator told Dass that after this
last demonstration he felt that the stu
dent was justified in recording the ex-
pertinent as successful in his thesis.
This week Mr.. Ditmars will string
an aerial over the reptile house and
bring down his own powerful receiv.
ing set and amplifier and set 1t up be
fore the cobra's cage. In his home he
has noticed that the strings of musical
instruments vibrate to tones from his
radio in a remarkable manner and he
is wondering II radio music and the
vibrations set up by the amplifier in
the reptile house will or will not pro-
duce further evidence for the thesis
of Arjun Govind Thaker Dass.

NEW YORK.-The great king cobra

tacular office, made a direct appeal
to the president of the United States
to intervene.
Other presidents might have ignor-
ed the petition by standing quite
within their own rights and saying it
was not fair to seek their influence
and participation in local row. A
president might even have interfered
in something that was not his con-
Germ.
But Mr.. Coolidge saw the. situation
in different light. He had before
him charges against the conduct in
office of Federal prohibition agents
in Philadelphia, lodged by the sup
porters of General Butler. These
charges the President has ordered in
vestigated by the Attorney General
of the United States. That was the
course of common sense and in this
the President kept within his rights
and duties.
If it is disclosed by a Federal in
vestigation that the charges of mis-
feasance and misconduct are true
the Butler partisans will be handed
a valuable weapon. If they are not
true then Mayor Kendrick will have
the advantage. In the whole matter
Mr.. Coolidge has conducted himself
