Fair Threatened
When Baby Prizes
Are Less Than Pigs
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special plepabcU 10 Inc Sb@I
WINCHESTER, Va, September
Peace prevailed as the fifty
sixth annual fair opened here
today, after a two-week controversy
over the merits of pigs and babies,
which started when someone dis
covered that the Shenandoah Valley
Agricultural Society, which pro-
notes the fair, had appropriated
more prize money for pigs, than
had been offered for the baby
show.
The situation was saved when
champions of the babies made up
additional purses.
The Society is anticipating one
of the most successful fairs in
history.

British Columbia is interested in
a discussion whether creatures

kie Ewing says he is preparing to
go forth and give battle to the
monsters. Armed with a rifle, it is
his intention to shoot one of the
creatures and tow it ashore as
proof of his assertion.
Mr.. Babcock's theory is that
large sturgeon and not sea serpents
are causing all the discussion. His

The searchlight of public interest
was turned once more today upon the
income tax reports of the Nation as
internal revenue collectors throughout
the country opened their lists to un-
restricted scrutiny. barring the admit
ted wealth of the great and the small
without prejudice.
When the office of Galen l.. TAFT.
collector for the district including
Washington, was opened in Baltimore
a long line of newspaper men was
waiting to pore through the books
and inform the public in detail just
who paid income taxes in 1924, free
from any threats of prosecution for
publishing the contents of the lists.
Surprises Are Found.
There were many surprises to be
found in the first few pages of Wash
ington taxpayers. Bewilderingly thick
volumes, filled with dazzling figures,
were to be gone through before the
inspection would be completed. But
among the first two or three thousand
returns were a number of outstanding
interest.

DISPLEASED WITH FIGHTS
WITHIN SHIPPING BOARD
Failure of Some Members to Back
Up Administration Policy
Has Been Distasteful.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.
staff Correspondent Of The Star.

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE, SMAWP-
SCOTT, Mass, September Without
revealing what his next step will be
as a result of the refusal of Bert E.
Haney to resign by his request as
member of the United States Shipping
Board, President Coolidge told callers
today that when Mr.. Haney thinks it
over he will see the improperly of
trying to remain on the board when
he is not willing to carry out the law.
There was not the slightest sign
that the President was perturbed.
With his usual calm he indicated that
so far as he is concerned his telegram
to Mr.. Haney, requesting him to re-
sign because of the latter's alleged ef-
forts to remove Admiral Palmer as
head of the Fleet Corporation. ends
the whole matter.
Disappointed With Board.
The President made it very plain
however, that he has been greatly
disappointed and displeased at the ac-
tions of the Shipping Board during
the past year, especially so since the
members gave him the understanding
that they would go ahead and try out
the administration plan for operat-
ing the merchant fleet.
He made it plain that the continual
wrangling among the members of the
Shipping Board and their failure prop
erly to cooperate with Admiral Palmer
and to support the administration S
policies has been one of the sore spots
in administration during the past
year at least in the eyes of the Presi-
dent. The President has been dis
pleased with the controversy that has
been almost continual since the new
merchant marine act went into effect
in 1928. The President let Ii be known
that he would like to see the trouble
corrected and the Shipping Board
made harmonious.
The Presidents main aim in con
nection with the board and the feet
Is to maintain a merchant feet for the
United States. First of all, he has
tried to supply a merchant marine for
commerce; secondly, he has tried to
have a merchant marine for national
defense.
FavCrs Private Ownership.
The President was represented as
having always favored private owner
ship, and therefore has always sup
ported a policy of selling ships to
of a merchant marine might be car
ried out by private ownership and at
a great saving of money to the Gov
ernment.
The President Is not unmindful of
the fact that there has been criticism
of the operation of the feet and that
probably some of 1t has been justi.
fable, but the President considers
the operation of feet difficult prob.
lem and that there Is always room
for criticism.
The President is also of the opinion
that persons associated with a losing
enterprise sooner or later start quar-.
reling among themselves and start
blaming each other for the lack of
success.
other than to say that he believes
Mr.. Haney will send in his resigna-
ton when given more time to reflect
the President would not discuss this
incident further.

Automotive retail associations have
within the past few years made i'm

The automobile has called for the
services of 67,82S service stations and
repair shops, employing thousands of
men of all ages, who are rapidly
becoming more skillful and more pro-
ficient. Had the automobile been
simple mechanism the public would
not have found it necessary to en-

Touches Wide Field.
To consider all the allied industries
which cooperate in the creation, the

would be to touch upon practically
every phase of Industrial activity.
The automobile has reached out into

today many industries are beginning
to revolve about it.
Where the automobile achieves this
great distinction Is in Offering

same time most convenient form of
transportation. And transportation,
the world now recognizes, is the cor
ner stone OF progress.
Here the public comes in for mo-

an endless chain of progress. More

The automobile will make 1925 a
different year better year than 1924
1t will help to surround you with
greater comforts, additional blessings
more happiness. And these blessings
will be tangible. They will not be
confined to your joy and satisfaction
L seeing a brand-new. smart sedan
parked in front of your home. You
Will discover these blessings in the
conduct of your business, in your liv-
ing conditions, in your civic develop
lnent and in your social life.
Ii is doubtful whether any one sin
gle article of utility has ever dug
deeper into the fundamentals of a ma
ton or offered 1t greater promise Of
general betterment. The explanation
is simple. There was never a more
interesting and practical commodity.
That it never fails to interest the
general public is proved by the popu-
larity of the annual automobile shows
which have become an event and an
opportunity in every progressive
American city. That it is overwhelm-
ingly practical is demonstrated daily
by the things it is doing for the en-
tire nation.
When you speak of the benefits OF
the automobile you do not have to sit
down and think of what it has done
You simply look about you and see It's
influence on every hand. You see your
own city going to work in the auto
mobile. You see wide, well-paved
streets and roads that have been
built because of the automobile. You
see a shut-in population getting out
and about stimulating business and
stimulating health.
Benefits Endless.
1t Is endless. You see people build
~, fo, 70 in nj
of the way places where the city
toiler has always yearned to spend
his leisure hours, and you know that
the automobile is the development
that makes possible his daily trans
portation facilities.
You see the most ignorant people
learning complicated traffic regula-
tions, reading warning signs and be-
coming skillful in the care and oper-
alton Of complicated piece OF
machinery. And You realize that the
automobile is raising the level of in
telligence among all classes.
Stepping into the bank you watch
John Jones deposit days profits
you see John Blank arrange for q
loan that he may extend his business
you see John Brown meeting his OBJ
legations promptly, and you know
that the automobile is developing in
idly becoming an important factor in
its business life.
More than all this, the automobile
is the spirit of America. 1t is alive
alert, practical. 1t promises lot, but
makes certain to fulfill these prom
Uses. 1t is restless, but always with
a definite objective in view. 1t ever
offers little jazz just for good meas
ure.
Stimulates Optimism.
1t will be a sad day for the Ameri-
can people when they can no longer
flock to the automobile show anC
have reborn that spirit of optimism
and progress which the automobi
has never failed to instill. Not thai
any one anticipates such a day, mol
considers it possible. 1t is mentioned
as a warning to those folk who fee
coca sionally that the saturation point
in automobile utility has been reached
and who sometimes allow themselves
to imagine that the automobile i:
going to settle down to a dull reality
such as modssa plumbing.

FIRE THREATENS DANCE

Fire threatened the dancers at the

if not seriously at least enough to
cause considerable excitement All
the fuss occurred because some prac-
tical jokers put rubbish into the fur
mace in the basement of the build
ing. When it caught on fire the
flames burned through the registers
into the hall for few moments and
then died down but not before foul
smelling smoke filled the hall. For
tunately it was only a few moments
before the dance would have broken
up for the night and caused no SER
ious loss to the Orchestral club, which
was giving the affair.
A large crowd, generously sprink-
led with college students home for
the holidays, other holiday visitors
and a number of couples from out
of town attended.
