PORTRAIT OF WORK
HUNG AT DEPARTMENT
Former Secretary's Picture Takes
Place With Those of Predeces-
sors in Corridor.

A portarait of Dr. Hubert Work was
hung yesterday in the front corridor of
the Interior Department Building to
take its place with the likenesses of
other former Secretaries of the Inte-
rior and honor the man who served
as head of the department from March
5, 1923, to July "a of this year.
DR.. Work, who is now chairman of
the Republican national committee and
is actively engaged in directing Herbert

was Postmaster General before coming
to the Interior Department
To make room for the Work portrait,
that of Albert B. Fall was moved

MEETS RAIN OVER FRANCE.
Graf Zeppelin, However, Will Find
Weather Over Ocean Better.

Graf Zeppelin, However, Will Find
Weather Over Ocean Better.
PARIS, October IL CP.-Sailing
majestically over Southern France on
her voyage from Friedrichshafen to the
United States, the Graf Zeppelin first
German dirigible to cross the French
frontier since the armistice 10 years
ago, was heading for the Atlantic coast
this afternoon.
At 25 minutes past noon the giant
air liner, which is carrying 20 passen-
gers, including Americans, was over
Bron aviation field, near Lyons, having
covered a distance of approximately
265 miles from Friedrichshafen, at an
average speed of SIS miles an hour.
Weather Is UnfavorabIe.
Weather conditions in Southern
France were unfavorable, with rain and
contrary winds reported all along the
line from Lyons to Bordeaux.
Out at sea, however, in the direction
of the Azores, better conditions pre-
vail, and it was believed that DR.. Hugo
Eckener, the dirigible's commander,
would head southwark from MarSeille
along the coast of Africa and would
then point the nose of his ship for the
which the dirigible was maintaining, it
was expected that she would reach Mar
seille about S pm. (about IL noon,
eastern standard time).
All France was eagerly watching the
progress of this new transatlantic air
voyage and the newspapers gave re-
ports of the start at Friedrichshafen
prominent firSt-page space. In every
| town along the possible route, the pop
ulation had been waiting for days ano
| nowhere did there appear any signs oi
animosity over the new raid"
/ Visibility Is Poor.
The state of the weather, however
made it extremely improbable that many
would see the German flyer, for the
clouds hung low and rain made visibil.
ity extremely poor. The passage over
| Lyon was the only appearance sig
nailed to Paris by o'clock this after
noon, but this was perhaps due to re-
cent tsorms, which have slowed com.
munications in the region south OF
| Lyons.
Radio stations in Paris were not ir
communication with the dirigible, al.
though reports from Berlin had stated
/ that the FriedrichShafen Zeppelin
station had lost radio contact and tina
it was thought French stations hao
taken up communication.
The Zeppeline held pretty well to he
schedule, passing over Constance, Base
and Belfort at the expected times. A
Constance all the church bell rang
out a greeting and crowds cheered th'
ship.

riage between close relatives is fol- lowed by a decrease in the birth rate. an increase in death rate, or by physical and mental degenera- ton in the offspring.
 There seems to be nothing con- nected with close relationships which makes a marriage between relatives prejudicial to the children. Serious conditions are not created in the offspring of cousin marriages if the parents are Of good stock.
 Tendency to Disease
 If. however, there is any tenden- cy to certain disease which are known to be hereditary in the fam fly. then the risk of the disease ap- bearing in the children is greatly accentu1ted by a marriage between blood relatives, even if neither of the persons marrying is afflicted.
 If there is any particular desir- able characteristic in the family, such as great musical or mathcmat- teal ability or any other mental or physical talent. then g cousin mar riage tends to perpetuate and fix that characteristic in the children.

said:
 T do not agree with the sugges- tion. Being old-fashioned, think husband and wife ~should spend their holidays together. They ought to enjoy them that way. If they are not happy together when at home I do not see that it will help them merely to take their holidays apart"
 Miss May Edginton, also a ncvel- isl, declared: Its very good suggestion, so long as the wife has her holiday alone too"
 The Rev. Prebendary Cough sad:
 Most of the husbands l know arc such busy people that the annual holiday is the only time they have a chance of enjoying their Wiver company. They are busy all day and tired at night, having no leisure time to spend with their wives. And then what is 10 happen to the faH- lily? Some married people with an unnecessary amount of leisure may get tired of each others company. and I suppose for them the sug- gestion would provide relief, but it is not wanted by the average man and woman"

Vacation Idea
 For Married
Separate Trips to Offset
 Marital Friction.

London. Aug. A R-A man grows weary of devoted shadow, and he needs the sunshine of a lit tie change.
 With this sentence, which means in prosaic language that the hus- band and the wife should take their vacations separately. the Rev. j.. Shepherd of London. has stirred up widespread discussion.
 Noted men and women have come out with statements. most of them supporting Mir. Shepherd s contention that a married couple have moments of absence from each other.
 George Bernard Shaw declared:
 II think MT. Shepherd is quite right if he means people in the ear- Her stages of married life In fact, I think married people should get away from each other whenever they feel inclined. It saves friction.
 Married people, however, get out Of the stage when they see too much of each other. After time the partners do not feel the need for 8 separation. When people have lived long enough together they do not want to take their holidays apart"
 Mrs. Belloc Lowndes, novelist,
