SOCIAL EVENTS

THE GRADATIM CLUB MET IN
regular session on the afternoon of
March third, the program being in
charge of Mrs. A. V. Sutton, who had
for her topic-"Moussolini and the
Fascist Movement"
Mrs. A. w. Bartheld spoke on
"Tke Colonial Problems of Italy," af-
ter which Mrs. l.. A. Walker took up
the subject, Industrial Problems and
the War with Tripoli."
A goodly number were in attend
ance.
Early in the year 1923 the club
decided to make a gift to the Library
in the form of a picture to be hung
above the fire place. Not having suf-
ficient funds at the time to purchase
one in keeping with the beauty and
significance of the Library it was
agreed to place the available funds
on interest, adding there to. each
year until worthwhile purchase
could be made. Mrs. C. E. Bohall
was president during this period.
Much credit is due Miss Esther
Sprague and Miss Eva Davis for
their painstaking efforts in bringing
before the club at : various times
prints of pictures, prices, etc., for it's
consideration. A beautiful scene en-
titled "a Woodland Lake" by Bonsiel
was finally decided upon, being repre-
sentative of the Ten Thousand Lakes
of Minnesota. The picture has been
hung and at a recent executive board
meeting of the club Miss Eva Davis
was appointed to formally present
the same to the Library board at it's
next meeting.

Flour Patent Owned By St.
49,, Johns u at Colegeville
Crude Mill Built in 1868 Is Replaced
by New Structure-Old Form
ula Is Retained

st. Johns University, Collegeville,
the oldest private educational institu-
ton in Minnesota, has it's own private
patent of flour for school use which
is only six years younger than the
school itself.
Back in 1862, when the university
was established in the then Indian
infested wilderness, it was not easy
for inland towns to get flour and
other necessities. Realizing this
handicap, Bishop Seidenbush, the
university's first president had a dam
constructed on Watab creek, half a
mile north of the college grounds.
Here, in 1868, crude flour mill was
built and operated until 1878, when
it burned down.
The following year a new flour and
sawmill were erected on a site farth-
er down the creek. A water wheel
stood between the two units, while a
turn of the lever transferred the
power to the mills. For years the
sawmill handled the oak and maple
timber logged on the college proper
ty, which was used in the construc-
ton of the older college buildings,
while the flour mill functioned for
the benefit of the college bakery I'M
til Dec. 16, 1882, when fire destroyed
the two structures.
When in 1916 college authorities
decided to install new brick mill
near the central power plant, the
same old formula was adopted for the
modern rs barrel capacity plant. Now
under the supervision of Brother
Gregory the mill is operated two or
three times a week and the output
consists of five tons of wheat and one
ton of rye flour month.

factor Of accessibility from all sides.
Traffic considerations are important.
The market center should be freely
approachahle. 1t should be so situ-
ated, furthermore. as to have a chance
to expand without undue encroach,
ment upon the street spaces. Wash
ington will grow, and Its market cen
ter will therefore need to be larger
twenty years or fifty years from now
than today.
One final consideration is to be
borne In mind. A market center is
not an altogether desirable neighbor-
hood factor. 1t Is likely to become
or nuisance, even with the
best administration. 1t should be
located. therefore, with particular
thought to the effect upon adjacent
and interests.

Q. What is meant by labor LOSE?
w. K. NJ.
A. Labor loss IL defined as a term
that refers to the loss in productivity
and the cost due to the inef1cient
application of labor in industry,
whether such losses arise from fail
ure to recognize proper man!rower
requirements or from inefficiency In
man power itself. The term FIRST
appeared in a bulletin of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation in 1918.

weather, either dry or rainy, would
prevail on any given date throughout
a belt of latitude extending entirely

no such uniformity of weather in rela-

The Market Center Problem.

Three propositions have been ad-
Of locating the general market center
In replacement of that which is now
situated just north of the Mall between
Sixth and Twelfth streets. One of
the Patterson tract in the northeast
section. Another is to put it on the
water front, and a third has Just been
made to center it around the present
general convenience of access, the
last named of these plans is most
striking. The center of population
lies only little to the west and south
the water front or the northeast loca-
ton would be far removed from the
population center.
In support of the northeastern loca-
ton it is urged that railway communi-
cation would be available for the
transport of goods. 1t has already
been pointed out, however, that this
is a questionable factor, in view of the
peculiar situation, with the proposed
market site cut off from the freight
tracks by the passenger express lines
to the north and west. The river
front site woald provide both rail and
water transportation. The midcity
site would have no possible means of
direct transport, save by truck.
All these considerations are to be
weighed most carefully by those who
are now studying the question with
the view to. recommendation of site.
It Is desirable to choose a location
that will for all time meet the com
munity's needs. It is improbable that
there will ever again be a shift, for the
city planning lines are now well laid
down, and it is inconceivable that a
selection Of site will be made that can
possibly interfere with the future de-
velopments.
Public convenience sis a primary
consideration apart from interference
with city planning. The factor Of dis.
lance is important. Likewise the

The New District Commissioner.

President Coolidge's selection of a
District Commissioner to succeed Col.
Fenning commends itself to Washing
ton. Proctor l.. Dougherty is a cit
izen of estimable qualities, who has
been a member of this community for
many years and has identified himself
with it's activities in wide range,
His business connection has brought
him into contact with many people.
He has participated in citizenship
movements of merit looking to the
advancement of the welfare of the
Capital. He is thoroughly acquainted
with District matters and as a mem
Der of the Citizens Advisory Council
has participated in affairs at the Dis
+ trict Building in a way to equip him
exceptionally for the administrative
work which he will now be called
upon to discharge.
In his search for a Commissioner
the President has reviewed many
people, summoning to his aid those
well acquainted with the District per-
sonnet. Some of those who have been
considered most favorably have proved
ineligible under the law which re-
quires residence here for three years
prior to appointment, with claim of
residence nowhere else meanwhile.
Some of those thus barred from Sc
lection by this provision of the organic
act would have been most suitable Sc
lections as District executives. Some
others whom the President has ia
verably considered have been disin.
clined to accept appointment for finan-
cial or other reasons. The choice has
finally fallen upon Mr.. Dougherty,
who fortunately is qualified under the
law, having made this his definite
residence for twenty-seven years and
being in a position to surrender his
private employment to render this
service to Washington.
The selection of Mr.. Dougherty is
calculated to allay friction that has
arisen during the past few months at
the Capitol. His appointment closes
an incident which has aroused deep
feeling and has given rise to much
unpleasantness. The happenings of
this late period, however, do not
handicap the new Commissioner on
his work at the District Building. He
will take Office with the full confidence
Of the community and his personal
character and his repute as con-
scientious citizen devoted to the wei
fare of Washington will be to his ad-
vantage in future relations with Con-
gress. the Districts legislature. Wash
ington's best wishes are extended to
him for a successful administration
and Washington's thanks are extend
ed to the President for the careful Sc
lection of so excellent a Commits
sioner.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES e. TRACEWELL.

| AS far az that goes. II 10 not only
the out,and-out dub" who sends his
serve into the net
| Have you ever witnessed the
poppy" tennis player who bounds
onto the court az IL on springs? All,
now we are going to see something!
He rears hack, shoots his racket
into the air, snaps up the ball from a
| flexible left wrist, catches the sphere
on the very tip of his egg'beater and
slams 1t forward.
| Surely his opponent can't get 1t!
You are right. The opponent can
not. It goes into the net.
! There comes again that spectacular
leap into the air, as II he were trying
Monument or something equally tall,
say, the ears of q giraffe. Whizz!
! What! No whizz?
| No, not a sign of a whizz.
' This spectacular fellow, when he
1 ,ails to put the first one Sver, goes
through the preliminary motions, but
slows down at the crux and hits one
| over in SO gentle a curve that any
maiden could gather it in.
At the other extreme there Is the
| ira jectory expert who seems to be fir-
ing tennis balls out of a mortar. The
! higher longer curve he can get, the
| better he is satisfied, for his object is
| not to astonish but 10 put the ball
| over so that his opponent can hit 1t
back to him.
| After all, is not that the big idea Of
| tennis? We never did feel that the
| powerful server was playing the game
| fairly! Once the ball 10 in play, 1t is
h all right to smash 1t, but the other
chap ought to be given chance at
| least.
We speak, of course, of ordinary,
| garden variety of tennis, such as you
see played en- most Of the courts. We
except Helen, Suzanne. Bill, Wallace
and a few others Of the big league"
+ ~
The really good tennis player, OF
course, has no particular trouble re-
turning the smashed serve that just
clears the top of the net: He-or
she-chops the ball. merely putting
the racquet I'm the way, allowing the
ball to return itself, which 1t generally
does very promptly, and almost al
ways lin"
Among the rank and file of tennis
amateurs, however--at least or the
| kind we see---the cannon ball serve,
as il is sometimes called, is knock
out. for the fellow on the other side
attempts to smash it back. and so
either sends 1t into the net or far out
| of bounds.
Tennis is a "tit -fortat" game, how
ever. What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander. too. II your
opponent makes you feel silly with a
terrific serve, your opportunity short
| ly comes to make him feel equally
foolish.
There is a certain proficiency which
one must attain to enjoy tennis. Com
pared with such dub" tennis player
as ourself, this irreducible minimum
| seems large. Compared with the
really expert play, 1t Is not so much,
but is always satisfactory TO the
player
Tennis has a long and honorable
history, and is one of the few sports
that the great noyelists have men
toned regularly in their works. In
Dumas, for instance, the reader will
find an account OF how certain
prince of the royal house of France
won his freedom from prison by send
ing notes over the walls in tennis balls

Another Channel Failure.

Her pilot boat off course on account
of fog, Miss Clarabelle Barrett of New
York has failed in her effort to swim
the English Channel. Her perform
ance was such as to indicate that but
for the factor of fog, which caused
her to swim a much greater distance
than the span between the two coasts,
she would have reached the French
shore. AS it was, she was compelled
to desist when only two miles from
land. So her failure was. in fact, a
triumph, even though she did not gain
the goal for which many swimmers
have striven. and which thus far no
woman has attained.
A woman will eventually swim the
Channel OF that there can be little
doubt. 1t took a long time for man
to make the passage. With every try
there came new knowledge of the
conditions and some new gain toward
the long sought mark. But the
vagaries of the Channel are infinite.
The conditions of today are rarely
those of tomorrow. Now there Is a
heavy sweep of tides with eccentric
twists, again a gentler current with
few reflections. Now the water is
bitterly cold, again it is warmer. But
never Is 1t the same in temperature
or in current for the entire stretch
between France and England. The
distance is such that any swimmer
must spend so long q time in the
water that tidal and other conditions
altogether change between the start
and finish. Miss Barrett was FL hours
and 80 minutes in the water.
A factor of particular interest in the
failure of this American girl il that
lack Of funds compelled her to select
the British rather than the French
side for her start, although that is the
least favorable point of beginning for
a cross.channel swim. She was obliged
to hasten her preparations because
she could not longer maintain herself.
Had she been as we'll financed as are
the other American aspirants who are
even now waiting in France for favor
able conditions she might have made
