effect tomorrow night. and viii select
successor to Bert Haney. who is

Recommendation Made.
The former has recommended Mar

recommended Phillip s. Keller. Re
publican, Of San Francisco.
Senator Jones of Washington also
has laid claim TO at least part of this
patronage and has furnished the
President with the names of one
Democrat and one Republican to be
taken into consideration in making
selection.
The opinion is that President Cool
idge would without any hesitation
select Mr.. Dana to succeed Mr.. Haney
on the board, but he has received
protest from the Democratic leader
ship in that State, and unless the
latter finally agrees to Mr.. Dana. he
will name Republican from that
State.
Thereupon he may select the Demo
cratic member of the board from Cali
fornia. Although Senator Shortridge
is known to be pleased at any such
prospect. he has furnishd the Presi-
dent with the name of H. L. Brandon
stein, a Democrat, of San Francisco,
in the event the President decides
to name a Republican from Oregon
and a Democrat from California.

The. Susan r. Anthony Foundation
strongly approved the fight being
wa ged by Mrs. John Is. Henderson to
ban cigarette smoking among women
in a resolution unanimously adopted
at meeting in the gold room of the
Shoreham Hotel last night.
This action followed an address by
DR.. Daniel H. kress of the Washing.
ton Sanitarium, in which he declared
that tobacco is doing much more
harm to the heart, kidneys and liver
than formerly an occa siona1 drink
did" adding high blood pressure is
one of the results of smoking"
DIR. kress illustrated his address
with stereoptfcon slides, with which
he pictured the most simple foods and
those which he said should be com
monty used. Simple food does not
create a desire for narcotics he said.
The foundation also adopted a reso-
luton to request the Board of Educa-
ton of the District of Columbia to
name the next new school after Miss
Susan r. Anthony, pioneer suffragist.
Included in the latter resolution also
was clause which asked that other
