 Such loans represent smaller amounts, and overhead" mounts up as loaning operations are repeated. There can be less taking on faith, and expense again increases if each applicant is looked up. Collateral is less liquir. Loaning periods are usually longer, and they carry a haz- ard of indefiniteness in the chance that many have to be renewed

LONDON, Apr. Miss Olga Ne thersole, who came into prominence in New York in 1900 as Fanny Le- grand in "Sapho" announced re- gently that in the spring she would establish in England national boarding school for delicate children which is to be conducted as a model institution.
 Miss Nethersole plans to take 100 sickly children at a time from the slums of London and to bring them back to normal health by providing proper food and plenty of outdoor exercise. Her aim is to interest the government health officials who, she hopes, in time may build similar institutions on a large scale for the benefit of the population at large
 'I hope we shall prove to the state authorities within four or five years,' said Miss Nethersole recent ly, that our national boarding school scheme is not only a humane and common sense project, but also ar economic one"

90 Girls Sacrifice Presses
 To Japanese Superstition

TOXIC, Apr Miss Tsune Kara sumoto, a maiden Of Kuchikimura, recently offered herself as sacri. flee to be buried alive in the fOun- dations of the new temple to be built near the imperial tombs in Momoyama. Tradition says that some 300 years ago girl of TokiO was at her own request inferred in the central pillar of Asakusa Tenn pie, and the popular belief is that her sacrifice saved the edifice in the earthquake disaster of Septem- Der, 1923
 Times have changed in Japan, how ever, and Miss Tsune's offer was re- fused, so she and 89 other maidens of the town offered their tresses in stead, and these will lie under the cornerstone.

TEPIC, Nayarit, Mexico, Apr. IT. This city, capital of Nayarit state, is enjoying, or rather enduring, two sets of presidents" or mayors with their allied officials and assistants.
 The recent election was contested by the "ins" on the ground of irreg- ularity. and they refused to turn over the keys of the treasury to the other faction, which claimed victory in the balloting The result has been administrative chaos, and business men are hoping that one side or the other soon will be busted, so the city can settle down and enjoy it's usual calm.
 Since the advent of the dual ad- minstration, two sets of lean and hungry tax collectors have been be- sieging the stores and business hous- es, presenting their respective de- mands At first, thru a practice evolved of wisdom during the revolu- ton, both sides were placated by donations.

 The borrowing is perforLe resnict- ed, this banker says, to larger inter- ests whose high credit rating saves the usual time and expense of in vestigation. Placing the money in bulk accordingly costs the bank no more than arranging $100O for a pri- vate borrower, and becomes an ob- .vious saving over placing the amount in 100 separate retail transactions. Furthermore, these large loans are for definite and limited periods, and are protected by giltedged security which could be converted, if need be,

The Service of Citizenship.

The honors paid yesterday to the
late Commissioner James +. Oyster
were in no sense perfunctory. They
were sincere tributes to a man who
gave himself unstintedly to his com.
munity. sacrificing his strength and
even his business fortunes for the
sake Of Washington's advancement. A
native son OF the District, he loved II
devotedly, and was ever eager and
ready to serve It. In the hour Of his
death this spirit Of devotion to the
community which he displayed for
many decades was recognized and ap
preciated by those for and with whom
he labored. : ea
Devotion to the public service 10 not
a rare characteristics. but opportuni
ties to manifest it come to but few in
any community. James +. Oyster was
ever ready for duty. In the days OF his
full vigor and health he was depend
able for any duty. He worked willing
ly on civic committees. in volunteer
organizations Of the District residents
seeking betterment Of conditions. in
societies and associations that aimed
at the development Of the Capital. He
gained the confidence Of his associates
by his strict integrity and his single
purpose Of getting results for the wei
fare Of the community.
An example Of such service to Wash
ington is an inspiration to the younger
generation Of citizens. The rewards OF
public duty Of this character are
small In pecuniary terms, when there
are any rewards at all. The chie1
compensation comes in a consciousness
Of services well rendered and Of the ap
probation Of fellow citizens. Yester
day clima1ed the expression Of tha,
appreciation in the case Of this man
who gave himself without reserve and
without thought Of personal advantage
to the cause of the Washington Of the
citizens highest ideal.

A Border Pact.

An important conference Is being
held in FL Paso between representa-
tives OF the Mexican government and
our own for the purpose of working
out a border pact which will be mutu-
ally satisfactory. The hope is that
efficient agreements for cooperative
handling of the problem of smuggling
may be arrived at, and 1t Is obviously
to the best interests of both nations
that such should be the case. The
tide of Illicit articles back and forth
across the Mexican border has been
growing in size and Importance, es-
pecially since this land put into effect
restrictive regulations regarding i'm
migration. There are other matters,
too, which could be handled with more
speed and ease than has been the case
hitherto.
Though 1t Is apparently difficult to
be certain, there is every reason to
believe that the enforcement of our
anti-narcotic laws has been and is be-
ing made tremendously difficult be-
cause of a flood of drugs which pours
into this country from Mexico. The
extent of the border in miles and the
Wildness of the country through which
1t runs have alike contributed to make
1t a paradise for drug smugglers, but
the task Of the officers would be great.

a natural death, but its passing should
have had commemoration in manner
that marks the passing OF another
pioneer organization-tlat organized
nearly IS years ago by Mrs. Susan B,
Anthony and q few kindred spirits in
promotion OF the cause of woman
suffrage. The women have been
nearly three-quarters of a century in
securing the ballot. and they have
secured this privilege now mainly be-
cause Of the fact that the original
Susan b. Anthony organization was
not ridiculed to death. 1t was the
brunt of the satirists of the day. One
may yet remember the Mast cartoons
in Harper's Weekly, Mast made a
speciality in ridiculing the national
woman's suffrage movement, and Mrs,
Anthony shared the honors with Boss
Tweed.

New York few days ago. at which
the final rites were read. Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait had become president
Of the organization and her hands
laid the wreath. The old National
Woman's Suffrage Association had
battled its way through many storms,
and now that all the great things for
which 1t fought have come TO the

stands that so few of them are ex.

The Proposed Official Flower
To the Editor Of The Star;


Official flowers have been adopted
by the people Of nearly every State
in the Union. All of them are out
of-door flowers. and the majority are
native wild flowers The District of
Columbia has many beautiful wild
flowers. and it would be very appro-
pirate TO adopt one of them as the
official floral emblem.
1t is quite possible that the recent
proposal to adopt q hothouse variety
as the official flower was in part the
result OF fear that the selection of a
native flower would lead to Its ex-
termination. The movement to pre-
serve our wild flowers is most praise
worthy and deserves our undivided
support. However, in this case there
appears to be no occasion for appre-
hension. I am firmly convinced that
the choice of a native flower as our
emblem would lead the people of the
District to protect ii, especially if
the people are permitted to have q
part in the selection.
If those who proposed a hothouse
flower did so with the deliberate in
tention Of selecting a flower that
would not be disturbed. they should
be commended for accomplishing their
purpose most successfully. Surely

Beauty rose. 1t is not an American

Even the florists, who have reaped
profits from 1t in the past, are discard
ing it for more satisfactory varieties.
Those who have tried to grow it know
from experience that it does not do

OF course. If we desire to give out
the impression that we are different
from all other people and that the
District of Columbia is purely formal,
artificial. dead. then 1t would be ap-
propriate to adopt a dollhouse flower.
On the other hand, If we want to
make known the truth that we are
real people, we should select a flower
that will represent us truly: a flower
that belongs here because it chooses
to grow here naturally or because it
flourishes in the hearts and gardens
of the people.

quaint idea to name the booths after
the horses which used to inhabit them,
provided Gen. Miles remembered. what
they were called. Years had elapsed,
