The spirit of war days was reflected
in the ceremonies attending the laying
of the corner stone for the Red Cross
house at Walter Reed Hospital yes
terday afternoon.
Three hundred persons, including
Red Cross officials. service men and
officers, Walter Reed Hospital and
Red Cross nurses in uniform and the
guests Of each group supplied the pre-
armistice atmosphere in the crowd
that witnessed the ceremonies.
The actual stone laying was per
formed by Mrs, Henry Robinson Rae,
first field director of the Red Cross at
Walter Reed, and Maj. Gen. Merritt
w. Ireland, surgeon general of the
United States Army. When the stone
was lowered in place Mrs. Rae de
posted a copper box in the niche

spread the sealing mortar from the
bucket held by Gen. Ireland, who also
welded the silver trowel in assisting
Mrs. Rae. The trowel used was pre-
scented by Miss Margaret Hayt Lower,
present field director of the Red Cross
at Walter Reed and formerly assistant
to Mrs. Rae, and after it's service yes
terday will be presented TO the mu-
I
tiers. there to take its place with other

The speakers who addressed the
audience briefly before the stone was
placed included James l.. Fieser, vice
chairman of the American National
Red Cross, and Gen. Ireland.
Mr.. F1ieser declared that the devel
opments of the past IS years have
given the world a better understand
ing of the Red Cross than it had be
fore. Its work of service, he said
will be carried on in the new building
that is being constructed now, and OF
that house he said:
NOInInS gives LHlS OISdIlEdtloi
/ greater pleasure in it's relations with
the Army than the presentation tc
Walter Reed Hospital of this building
as an example of the good will and
friendliness between the Army and
the Red Cross and as testimony of the
Red Cross desire for continued
service"
Gen. Ireland reviewed briefly the
work that the Red Cross had carried
on at Walter Reed Hospital since the
establishment of it's old house, which
is to be superseded by the new build
ing, nine years ago. The Red Cross
gift of the new house. he said, was
for the purpose of continuing that
work with the Army men at the hos
pital. Gen. Ireland introduced Mrs
Rae, recalling the work she did at the
hospital during 1918 and 1919.
Paying tribute to the Army in ap
probation for the tribute the Rec
Cross and it's personnel received from
Gen. Ireland, Mrs. Rae declared that

Mr.. Dougherty. THE Optimist Club
can do great deal to help build
Washington into the 'cleanest and
finest city in America. We have new
problems facing us. growing out of
the $50,000.000 building program of
the Federal Government. One of
these problems is how to expand the
District Government in the present

Commissioner Dougherty concluded
by saying, I'VE must all cooperate
to make Washington the most beau
tiful capital in the world"

ton, in the Park View school, last
night
Mr.. Kelly declared that Park View

As he has been instrumental in help

do the work miss one of the greatest
things in life-the opportunity to work
shoulder to shoulder with their neigh
bors for the benefit of the community,
he said. He said he favored granting
the vote to citizens of the Nation $
Capital.

The association adopted resolutions
opposing a bond issue Of any kind.
Some of the discussion indicated that
no strenuous effort would he made
to oppose a bond issue for emergency
purposes for an unusual need or for
the taking over of car lines or other
public utilities. Apprehension was felt
lest Congress may curtail Federal ap-
preparations to the District if the is
suance of bonds is permitted.
President Coolidge will he urged
to consider the reappointment of Col.
]. Franklin Bell as Engineer Com
missioner. according to resolutions
unanimously adopted. Col. Bell was

 ENTERS THE CAMPAIGN
Evans Woollen Put Forward to Oppose Lowden As Choice
 of Farmers.

Indianapolis. Ind. May R-The candidacy of Evans Woollen. Indian apolis banker. for tho democratic nomination dor the presidency in 1928 was formally launched by Thomas Taggart and hundred other party leaders at luncheon here yesterday. It was made clear that the Hoos- fer would enter the race for the White House place only. and that he would not accept the second place on the ticket-the presidency. Woollen was defeated for the short term United States senatorship by Senator Arthur R. Robinson at the last election.
 Representatives of farmers organ izations told the gathering that Woollen was held in as much esteem as Governor Lowden of Illinois. who has been mentioned as Q candidate for the republican nQmination. They said the farmers felt the Indiana democrat would do everything in his power to give them relief.
 The attention of democratic lead- CTS all over the country already is directed at Woollen. according to Dan V. Sims of Lafayette. who re- gently returned from California. Cal ifornia at present Is divided over William G. McAdoo of that state, and Governor Al Smith of New York. he declared.

 The law, a reciprocity measure adopted by the session. Of the legis- lature just adjourned, also disposes of the troublesome 15-mile limit registrations, so far as people are concerned who come from states al- lowing reciprocal privileges to Con- necticut automobilists.
 The provisions of the new law are not restricted to summer visitors, by any means. but apply to all visitors in the state who are over the mini mum Connecticut age requirement Of 16 years. Its principal applica- tion. however. happens to be to va cationists in the state.
 It contains provision that the operators license and registration of the motor vehicle he or she operates in Connecticut must have been is- sued by the same Jurisdiction.
 Non-residents who want to oper- ate public service motor vehicles in Connecticut must first obtain a pub- lie service or jitney operators n- cense and registration from this state and they must conform to the load capacity designated by the mo- tor vehicle department for similar Connecticut vehicles. They are also required to show registration marker from this state as we'll as from the state in which the car was originally registered, and to conform to all Connecticut laws affecting equipment. marking and control of motor vehicles.
