ABOUT THE
LOBBLES

Not "If Were King" but IF 1
Were Governor" is the phrase that
seems to find place behind the La
Follette-like pompadour of Lieuten-
ant Governor f. Harold Van Orman.
This thought was uppermost in his
mind as he signed the House appro-
priation bill in the Senate Friday.
The bill gives the pay-raise to legis-
lators and himself, and he told the
Senators that he was so excited
about it that he almost signed on
the line marked Governor. %
Senator j. Monroe Fitch, Mum
Gle, disapproves Of making all
Legislation emergency measures"
He warned his fellow Senators i'm
a speech Friday.
Apparently the Senators think
they are laboring long and hard
enough. When Senator B. r. Inman,
Danville, introduced a resolution
condemning unnecessary recesses,
delays and postponements he was
the only AYE voter on the measure.
Both President Pro Tenn. James j.
Nejdl, Whiting, and Democrat Jo-
seph NJ. Cravens, Madison, talked
against IT.

LISBON. Portugal, October Go
Ruth Elder. American aviatrlX. is suf'
fering from .;nienZa and has taken to
bed She is in need of complete rest
and her departure from Lisbon for
Madrid, en- route to Paris, has been
postponed indefinitely.
Ruth danced her way into the
hearts of the Portuguese last night
when she appeared at Il ball with a
Portuguese sash wound around her. In
moving about the deck of the Lima,
which brought her here from Horta,
Azores. she sprained her ankle. She
moved with no noticeable limp, how
ever. and in the excitement Of her ar
rival and reception here forgot the in
jury.
Impetuous Welcome.
Her welcome here was impetuous.
A police Gordon had been thrown
about the streets through which she
would pass to receive the welcome Of
the President. Cndaunted by uni.
forms, however, a group of students
broke through the police lines. and.
spreading their cloaks upon the
ground. paved way for the pretty
little heroine. She was rescued from
speeded to meet President Carmona.
The incident moved Miss Elder
deeply and the welcoming crowds, by
their cheers. voiced their approval Of
the students gesture.
Ruth when she landed was still
dressed in her knickers and sport
sweater. On her head was the sea-
going cap of Capt Coos of the Dutch
tanker Barendrecht, which snatched
her from the seas several hundred
miles from the Azores. SO dressed,
she and Haldeman went before the
President. who praised their gallantry
and expressed delight over their
rescue and their visit TO this country.
Hakleman Is Reserved.
Throughout the welcome, which be-
gan when the Lima was escorted up
the harbor by aircraft, including the
Heinkel hydro-airplane DIEGO, Halde-
man remained modestly in the back
ground, talking to other aviatOrs who
were anxious to learn the details of
the flight.
Discussing the prospect of future
flight across the Atlantic, both Miss
Elder and Haldeman said it would be
impossible this year. They both
thought the start of their recent
flight had been made too late.
1t was stated that the American
girl, who arrived here only yester.
day from Horta, where she had been
taken after the forced descent of her
plane. the American Girl. in the sea,
had passed bad night and complain.

INSPECTORS HUNT
MYSTERY STENCIL
Storm of Protests Follows
Recurrence of Terrible
Georgetown 0dors.

Aroused by a storm of protests that
the nauseating stencil that has spo
radically charged the atmosphere in
GEORGETOWN and it's environs. DIR. Will
liam c.. Fowler. District health officer
today detailed a group of health in.
spectors at various locations in the
offensive zone to maintain constant
vigil until the source is discovered.
The odors which permeated the at,
mosphere last night, according to in,
formation given DIR. Fowler, travelled
much farther than on any previous
occasion. Complaints came from
guests in downtown hotels in the vi
cinity of the White House, as we'll as
from persons in sections as far north
as Observatory Circle and from motor
lists who were on the speedway.
Inspectors on Patrol.
Ever since the last outburst of the
mysterious stencil, several weeks ago,
DIR. Fowler has kept several inspectors
patrolling the streets of Georgetown
and vinicity. constantly shifting the at
mosphere for ttace of the offensive
odors. But yesterday DIR. Fowler de-
cided that in view of the lack of de-
not recur in the near future, and re.
called the inspectors. BY strange
coincidence. however, the inspectors
had not been away from their posts
many hours. when the stencil made
it's presence known.
Judging from the complaints the
most pungent orders, DR.. Fowler said
seemed to be outside of the George
town section. One Health Department
inspector, who happened to be motor
ing around the Speedway, reported
that the stencil apparently was com.
ing from across the Potomac, which
leads DR.. Fowler to believe that the
source may possibly be in Arlington
County. Va. There are several
plants in nearby Virginia, including
Il tannery, two animal crematories
and dump, where the odors could
possibly have originated.
Smells Like Flesh.
On the other hand, DIR. Fowler said
the odors could have come from an
incinerator in an apartment house,
although the stencil last night. ac-
cording to some of DIR. FoWler's in
formants. had a decided smell of burn
ing flesh. In order to check up on
the incinerators. an investigation was
ordered to ascertain what apartment
houses have such utilities and san
itary inspectors will be assigned to
make close observations of their activ-
tiles.
The origin Of these odors has COM
pletely baffied the Health Department"
declared DIR. Fowler. I'VE have done
everything possible to detect the
source without any result, but our
Investigations will be continued"

Ethics in Address to Ses-

merce yesterday urged members of

struction, in fifth annual session here

the medium of phonograph records
which were run off on a machine
equipped with amplifiers to carry his
message to the assembled indus
trialists.

Your enlargement of vision and
evident desire to be of service to the
ultimate consumer are outstanding
developments Of the postwar era of
American business Secretary Hoover
said.
"It makes for greater stability in
business and a greater public under
standing of the purpose of business
as part of our whole cooperative
Nation"

mentlnS IL upon Its program since or
ganization in 1921, to continue its
work in advancing through establishing
standard codes of practice and ethics
and to take advantage of scientific and
engineering research. in line with the
advancing vision of our great industries

to the consumer and thus to the
public.
Praises Research Program.
IT was glad indeed to see your in
terest in welding as newer method
of assembling steel structures. Your
welding research program may yield
some very remarkable results and
might even revolutionize steel con-
struction methods.
In any event your effort Is a real
practical step based on sound scien-
tific research. Its success would
promise economy in structures sur
passing those already achieved by
your work in simplifying and stand
ardizing design"
