Be good dancers and well

Successful Development

Increase in Value

In the past three or four years 1
have put over" several suburban
properties, notably Virginia High
lands, George Washington Park, ETC.,
and each che has been a phenomenal
success, property values having more
than doubled. What was formerly a
barren waste of ground has now been
built up into communities of salts
fled and happy home-owners. And
every lot buyer has seen his invest
ment double and treble in value.
The dominant idea that has made
for success in all of the properties l
III have handled and the one that is ex-
emplified in SUMMIT PARK is that
the interest of the buyer is para
mount. l have exercised discrimi-
mating care that the properties han
died by me must measure up to the
following requirements: They must
be in the wake of development in
order that the increase in value will
be certain and rapid; they must be
in desirable neighborhood; must be
reached by paved streets; must be
high and cool; and, most important
of all, they must be had at a figure
that will enable me to sell them at
a price that will at once insure the
purchaser secure investment as
well as home site.

Princess Mary's Ring
 POpularizes Emeralds

London, Dec. 19,-Sapphirey and eraeralds have become the most popular jewels, apart from the ever fashionable diamonds and nearls. among English women, according 10 West End jewellers, while for some unaccountable reason there is little call for rubies, and amber and fade have lost much Of their popularity Of few years ago. Flexible plati- mum bracelets, studded with dia- monds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, are fashions latest jewelry fad.
 Princess Mary is said to have been responsible for the sudden popular fly Of emeralds, Her engagement ring was a particularly beautiful emerald. and created an immediate and pressing demand for the stones. Then it was discovered that sap phires combined strikingly with the green jewels, and they also jumped into favor.
 One feature Of the new tads, ac- cording to jewellers, Is the passing of the choker necklace Of pearls or large metal or colored beads. Ropes Of pearls however are as popular as ever.

HARVARD FRESHMEN FAIL
Study ot Students shows That Public School Graduates Arc More Efficient Than Private.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. la.-A study Of the class o' I2c7 in i's freshman year a, Harvard reveal s that students who prepared for col
 ege in public schools had distinct lv better record than graduates Of private schools CT students prepared by tutors, according 10 an article by Dean C, \. Greenough appearing today in the Harvard Alumni Bulle- tin. Dean Greenough urged a change in conditions early in the freshman year arfording students greater opportunity to adjust them selves to the different methods of instruction which they meet upon entering college. The end of school course, he suggested, could be made more similar to college teaching methods with advantage.
 Freshmen have been too little re- stricted while upper classmen have suffered from too much supervision, Dean Greenough said.
 In the 1927 class, the first to meet the increased freshman scholastic standard, 9.s per cent Of the public school men had unsatisfactory marks; 14.6 per cent Of those from private schools had unsatisfactory records, while 47,6 per cent of those prepared by tutors failed to meet the minimum of the required stan- dards.

STILL HUNT FOR

Old Indian Legends Have Allur.
 nNDt for Gold Seekers

Buenos Aires Dec, 1a.-pescend- ants of the Incas along the Andes still search to this day for the hid den gold which legend says their ancestors gathered to ransom their emperor Atahualpa from the hands of the Spanish conqueror pizarro Tour centuries ago. and which they never delivered because Pizarro be- irayod and murdered him. The gold promised by Atahualpa was enough 10 All the room where he was imprisoned as high as his neck, and is supposed 10 have been buried and sealed with bouldcrs some. where in the Andes.
 Every summer, when the noun tain SHOWS have melted. groups Of Indians from southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina pursue their quest, armed with picks and some of them carrying explosives 10 blow away the bouldors which are supposed 10 cover the treasure, Last summer a number Of them who had climbed Cerro Colorado in Argentine territory came across a mound Of stones evidently piled by human hands. The stones were soidly fixed in a sort Of concrete and resisted their picks. Then with dynamite they blew the mound open. The golden treasure they had hoped to see was not there, but in- stead the unchanged and well pre- served mummy of an Inca chief. A few silver trinkets and a huge strange disc Of copper had been en- tombed with him, but no gold.
 The Indians carried their late ancestor to the town of salta and lrreverently sold him a few weeks ago to Justo DuCasse, an archeo- logical collector of Buenos Aires, who has brought him here and tells the story of the discovery. The mummy wears a crown Of parrots feathers as fresh as If they had just been plucked, and a curious blanket of black and white check with an embroHered red fringe. The long hair Is plaited A bone tag attached to the crown denotes he was Of high rank.

OPPOSED TO BONUS
Granted Permission to Make Pub
lie Resolution Condemning Fight
for Reward
CALLS POLICY ""PERIL0US''
Department Commander Says Sen.
timent Not General.

Permission to make public a resolu-
tion adopted by the Augustus p.
Gardner Post of the American Le-
gion, opposing the soldiers bonus.
was given today by the executive
committee of the District Of Colum-
bia department of the legion. 1t was
pointed out by the district COM
mander, Paul ]. McGahan, however,
that while the executive committee in
no way approved of the contents of
the resolution. the committee felt that
in all due fairness to the post its
opinion should be given public utter
ance 1t was further pointed out that
the Gardner Post, with membership
of more than 200, represents only 8
per cent of the legionnaires of the
city
The resolution was adopted by the
Gardner pose. which is headed by
Walter Bruce Howe. the commander
January 8. and showed only four of
the members who voted to be in favor
of the bonus. Voting opportunity
was extended to the entire member
ship by means of the mail.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution. in part. follows:
The country will in the future need
the unswerving, sober, uncompromis-
ing patriotism shown by the Amer
lean Legion in the recent years of re-
adjustment. The disabled veterans
will need the legion as their stalwart
champion to speak and watch and do
for them in the future as 1t has in the
past. The Gardner Post fears that
these great possibilities are threat
ened by the legion's bonus policy. 1t
declares its loyalty to the legion and
is convinced that loyalty requires it
TO inform the legion OF its funda
mental dissent from the bonus policy
and that its duty to the country re-
Quires Il publicly and promptly to
dtsavow the bonus.
by soldiers bonus 1t means a
gratuity in any form from the United
States TO the veterans who have suf-
fered no physical injury or disability
as the result of their military service.
This post is opposed to the policy
of the legion which advocates the en-
actment Of a bonus bill as a contra
diction of the legton's unselfsh prin-
ciples and a danger to its existence
