$1,000 DONATED TO AID
BOY SCOUTS PROJECT
Local Branch American Business
Club Adds to Fund for Camp
Recreation Building.

Tie local branch of the American
Business Club yesterday donated
81 900 to help pay for the recreation
building of the Boy Scouts at Camp
Roosevelt on Chesapeake Bay. The
donation was made to Arthur A.
Schuck assistant national field di-
rector the Boy Scouts of America,
the pre- ntation having been made in
behalf of the club by Thomas Chap
man, vice president, at a luncheon in
the Franklin Square Hotel The
money had been raised by the club
following an expression of desire on
the part of it's members to aid the
Boy Scouts.
Mr.. Schuck heartily thanked the
club for the donation, and told of the
objects and purposes of the Boy
Scouts Of America. The Scout move
ment, he said, develops in the boy
the principle of service or desire to
do something for others, and helps to
make them better citizens. 1.-THE
average American just stumbles into
citizenship without any special train
ing for it, while they are being
trained for citizenship" he continued.
He also told of the need of the right
kind of leadership among men. The
Boy Scouts, he said, are trained to
be leaders, and are given every op-
portunity to develop qualities of
leadership.

ASKSFORRECORD
ON WELFARE BILL
Commission Seeks List of Or.
qanizations That Indorse
D. c. Measure.

The commission on public welfare
legislation is anxious to get a COM
plete record Of all organizations that
have indorsed the bill for the estab-
lishment Of a board of public welfare
in the District government.
While addressing a conference at
the District building yesterday after
noon of representatives of various
societies and clubs, William Hodson,
expert consultant of the commission,
said he belieyed there were some or
ganizations that have Endorsed the
public welfare bill without notifying
the commission Of their action.
Mrs. Swormstedt's Address.
Mrs. Lyman B. Swormstedt. who pre-
sided in the absence of Justice Sid
dons. gave a brief outline of what the
commission has accomplished. Three
important bills have been drafted and
introduced In Congress, namely: To
create a board Of public welfare, to
provide aid for dependent children in
their own homes and a compulsory
school attendance law.
The aim of the public welfare bill is
to bring together in one place the furc i,
tions now performed by several city
agencies, including the Board of Chari-
ties and the Board Of Children's Guar
dians.
Speaks for Church Federation.
DIR. w. L. Darby stated at yester-
days conference that the Federation
OF Churches would give consideration
to the entire program of the commits
sion on public welfare legislation. at
an early meeting.
The commission will hold the public
hearing on the proposed new juvenile
court law in the board room Of the
District Building at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon.

evolve new PROCESS
. IN SUGAR INDUSTRY
Agriculture Experts Announce
Plan Whereby Refining and Grow
ing May Be Revolutionized.

A process that may revolutionize
the entire sugar growing and refin-
ing industry has been evolved from
recent experiments in extraction of
sugar from vegetables heretofore not
utilized for that purpose, according
to experts of the Department Of
Agriculture.
The new process, discovered in re-
searches by DR.. r. P. Jackson Of the
Bureau Of Standards, makes possible,
the Department experts say, the
capitalization Of sugar extracted
from such vegetables as the arti-
choke. Lack of a process for crys-
talizing sugar drawn from such
plants, it was said, has been the one
bar to their utilization for this
purpose.
The sugar derived by this process
from the artichoke, which was said
to promise the cheapest source for it's
production, is in the levilose form
and is one and one-half times as
sweet as the sugar taken from cane
and the sugar beet. Its production,
It was said, promises to be simpler
and cheaper than that from cane or
beat sugar.
Dr.~w.:J. Spillman, consulting. spe-
cIalist of the Department of Agri-
culture, said the artichocke, offered
the greatest advantages from the
standpoint both of cultivation and of
refining in utilizing the new process.
The fact that it's cultivation is ma
terially cheaper and the yield per
acre heavier than that of either the
sugar beets or cane is the first point
in its favor, he said.

M'CARL'S POWERS
DEFINED BY STONE
Controller General Held Linn
tied in Authority Over
Customs Service.

Attorney General Stone has issued
a ruling which denies the authority
of Controller General Mccarl to re
view payments on drawbacks and
lther refunds by the Customs Service
of the Treasury. McCarl, Stone holds,
has no jurisdiction over the Customs
Service administration, excepting the
matter of pay roll disbursements and
funds appropriated for specific use.
The opinion has not been made
public in detail. 1t was learned, how
ever, that it denies the right of the
controller to demand that customs
collectors furnish the general ac
counting office with original records
in disputed tariff cases, saying that
If this We're permitted the law Great
ing the Board of General Appraisers
would be defeated. That law requires
the collectors to retain original docu-
ments for presentations to the ap-
praisers in cases where protests are
filed by importers and the case Is
adjudicated by the general board.
Treasury officials indicate the be
lief that the ruling may have
effect on the handling
of drawback cases. Of which there are
thousands annually. The ruling, II
was believed, will mean more ex-
peditious handling of these cases and
to that extent should lessen com
plants of delay.

Vivid Interpretation of
Period Music.

One OF the most attractively staged
recitals seen in Washington this sea-
son was presented at the Masonic
auditorium last night before a large,
enthusiastic audience. when Eleanor
Shaw, American pianist. appeared in
four groups of delightful numbers.
Miss Shaw proved an unusually skill
full pianist. Her interpre tations were
colorful. technically excellent, and
played in the fashion of the four
periods Of music depicted by her pro-
gram. Beginning with the court
music of the early eighteenth cen
tury, and wearing a beautiful rose
colored gown and white wig, said to

Miss Shaw played Bach's Fantasia

tHocosso," and Beethoven's Country
Dances" ] and 3. Her method of
playing emphasized the tinkling
qualities of thes. compositions which
made them; exquisite when played on
the harpsichords of that day. A re-
production of Harold Bauer's play
ing Of Beethoven's Turkish March
completed the group.
In the second group, wearing a
lovely gown of near Civil War
times. Miss Shaw demonstrated the
next outstanding phase of the de-
velopment of music with Schuberts
''Valse Nobles,'' LISTS arrangement
of Chopins "Melodie Polonaise,
Liszt's lie Rosignol" and Chopin S
Polish Dance" Paderewski's inter-
probation of Schubert's ''Harh, Hark,
the Lark" was reproduced.
A unique group was presented as
the third Number. Dressed in IL de-
Iightfully quaint hustled gown OF 40
years ago, and playing with the style
of that period, when "The Maiden :
Prayer Woodland Waltzes" and

FISH CONSERVATION
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Federal Cooperation With
States and Between States
Urged by 0'MaIIey.

Federal cooperation with the
States and between the States to de-
velop a national fisheries program
and to conserve the national fish
cries is recommended by Henry
O'Malley, commissioner of fisheries, in
his annual report to Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover, made public today.
The report declares there is a
growing interest among the people
In the various fisheries problems and
points to legislation recently passed
by Congress for conservation of ma
tional fisheries as evidence that
progress is being made.
Supply Is Depleted.
Pollution, deforestation, reclama-
tion and irrigation projects, power
dams and other distractions to the
free movement of fish to the spawn
ing areas and other factors" the re-
port says. "have seriously depleted
the supply of aquatic, life, especially
in our interior and coastal waters,
and created conditions that make it
extremely difficult for the nah ational
supply to be properly maintained"
The report emphasizes the necessity
of properly safeguarding the remain
ing fisheries, especially as the devel-
opment of goods roads and the in
creasing use of the automobile has
increased the number of anglers. One
state alone. Mr.. O'Malley said, issued
nearly 100000 fishing licenses.
During the year exhaustive studies
of the fisheries on both sides of the
continent were made, with many in
vestigations on fish culture.
The fishing industry In 1928 recov-
cred to q large extent from the severe
depression that existed in 1920 and
1921. Landings Of fish by vessels at
the principal New. England ports sub
stantially exceeded those of imme-
diately previous years, while the
average price paid for fish was
higher than in 1922.
Among the Investigations under
taken by the bureau was one of the
shad and alewife industry of the Po-
tomac River. The result showed that
the fishery employed SSS fishermen in
1898. with an investment of $240,832,
against S32 fishermen in 1922, with an
investment of $190,532. in 1923 the
Potomac fishers produced 351,546
