MOTOR ROUTES OUT OF
STATE REPORTED GOOD

Motor routes out of Washington
north, south and east, generally
are in good condition and travel
ers will encounter few obstruc.
tons, according to the touring de-
partment of the Automobile Club
of Washington. The Pacific High
way north is excellent, although
a short detour is provided at
Mount Vernon due to culvert con
struction, and traffic is being
routed, at another point, by way
of Ferndale.
South, the Pacific Highway is
good, except in northern Califor-
MIA, just south of Dunsmuir, where
the road is closed to travel from
8 p. IN. to Z a. IN. and tourists
should plan to traverse this stretch
during the day time.
Routes east generally are good
except for short stretches over
Snoqualmie Pass and a little con
struction i'll the Blue Mountains,
east of Pendleton. This latter
work. however, is practically com
pleted. Some loose gravel will be
encountered in Idaho but the maj
GRITTY of this has been oiled and is
good.
To Spokane roads are good ex-
cept for the Snoqualmie stretches
and the detour at Davenport
which is reported quite dusty
These conditions will change
rapidly due to the approach
of the winter season, TIL e
touring department points cut and
urges travellers to secure last-min-
ute information before starting a
lengthy trip.

milk the cows, separate the cream
grind and mix the feed, bale and
dry the hay, clip and curry the
animals, light the farm buildings,
operate machinery in the repair
shop, and perform many other jobs
by electricity that formerly took
time and hard work. Already
many up-to-date farmers get along
without a hired man because OF
these modern conveniences.
Uses of electricity in the farm
home seem to have no limit. Vacu-
UNI cleaners, sewing machines, and
many other devices, simplify what
formerly were laborious tasks for
the fam woman. Lighting, ventil-
ating and cooking systems, as well
as water supplies, can all be
hooked on to the magic power
from the button ON the wall. "
Electricity is doing for the
farm what it has done for the fac
tory and the modern home-per-
forming better work at less cost,
with Unreasonable efficieocy, and
without the back-bIeaking labor
of the past.

THE CURTIS SPEECH
The albany Kuicker-
booker Press

There is an essential quality in
the speech Of Charles Quits ac-
cepting the Republican party nom
nation for the Vice Presidency,
quite aside from its merits of
frank statement and logical argli-
ment, which will appeal agreeably
to the American mind. That is the
easily discerned likelihood of forth
Brightness unadorned. Reading it,
one gets the unmistakable impress
sion Of power in viii and ability
behind that veil of modesty woven
in simplicity by the unpretentious
sentences. Indeed, the speech sup
plies portrait Of the man who
with clear vision eomprehends the
task, mdaumed spirit matches
his strength against the extreme
of the demand, and with perfect
faith applies his strength to the Ia
Dor at hand.
II is good TO know American
public life has this character of
men. And it is good to have this
additional evidence Of the sort OF
n man who is Herbert Hoover s
yoke-fellow in this campaign.

For more than two years, Mrs.
Il. McCloud has sent appeals to
police of her own State and of
others, asking them to assist her
In locating her daughter.
In letter to the woman's bureau
Of the Police Department, Mrs.
McCloud suggested that the bureau
take up the matter with the Bureau
Of Missing Persons of The Wash
ington Times. All that she asks
is news Of her daughter.
The Woman's bureau has been
seeking Margaret for almost the
entire period of her absence, follow
ing the original appeal from her
mother.
Someone has taken this girl
away" the mother writes, +as she
had no money. Her father is dead,
and / have no one to help me
locate her"
Margaret is of fair complexion,
with blue eyes, dark hair, fine fea-
lures and slender build.
Mrs. McCloud believes that her
daughter may have visited friends
in Washington, or in Baltimore.
She asks only that Margaret or any
of her friends write to her at
3O815 Princeton Ave-, BIuefield, w.
Va, or to the Bureau of Missing
Persons, The Washington Times.

j. s. AIDS FIGHT
ON LEPROSY

After a, world search and long
experimentation, scientists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture have brought under cultiva-
ton in Porto Rico plant which
promises unlimited quantities Of the
ingredients of chaulmoogra OIL
most valuable agency in the treat
ment Of leprosy-it was disclosed to-
day.
The gorli plant was discovered in
a remote spot in western Africa
and transplanted to the American
experiment station. After only
three years growth it has produced
seeds which yield the almost price
less oil.
The experiment is hailed by scien.
lists as q great forward step in
the worldwide fight on the dread
disease.
The value Of chaulmoogra oil Is
well known to leprosy specialists
but 1t is scarce and expensive. To
domestictate plants producing the
oil-bearing seeds in great quantities
has been q scientific goal for years.
Thus far medical men have had
to rely upon natives in remote spots
OF India and Africa to hunt out the
priced weeds. Now "chauImoogra
orchards" are a possibility, it is
declared.

Citizens Opposed to
Transfer of Clinic

Removal of the District clinic for
social diseases from Gallinger Hos
ipital to 1927 T. st. N. w. as con.
templated by the District Commits
sioners, was protested In q. resolu-
ton adopted by the Iowa.Thonnas
Circle Citizens Association at their
meeting last night.
DIR. Frank T. Evans, vice presi-
dent OF the association, stated that
the main objections were offered be-
cause of the fact that the removal
would bring an undesirable class
OF people into the neighborhood Of
the Salvation Army Evangeline
Hotel for young women, the Knights
OF Columbus School and the Hamil-
ton and Portland hotels and would
thereby create q. menace.
The Wilson traction merger. in
its present form. was rejected, and
the bill pending in Congress which
would more clearly define physi-
clans, osteopaths, cnfropractors and
naturopaths was Endorsed.

HESSE PRAISES
DETECTIVES

In speech before the Detective
Bureau on the occasion of the
retirement Of Detective Sergeant
John r.. Jackson. one of the two
colored headquarters detectives.
Maj. Edwin b. Hesse, superintend-
ant of police, today praised the
work of the detective force and
scored the "prejudiced" critics of
the department.
After first praising the record Of
Jackson, who is credited with hav.
ing captured more murderers than
any other policeman in the city,
Major Hesse beamed upon the
"city's finest and told them to
disregard attacks made upon them
in the newspapers and various
associations and carry on"
The record of the local detective
bureau is unsurpassed by that Of
any other in the country. he said,
and referred with pride to the
recent arrest OF the purse snatcher
and said he understood that all
but three of the safe burglaries
have now been cleared up.
The presentation of the watch
to jackson was made by Detective
Eugene Davis, of the automobile
squad, and Jackson attempted to
make q speech of acceptance but
was overcome by emotion" and
finally gave it up as a bad job.

WIFE LOSES HER
NATIONALITY.

DANVJLLE, ILL.,, Feb. 80. - Born
and reared in Illinois and never, be
yond the boundaries of the United
States, Mrs. Gladys lone Weber,
wife of the Rev. Frederick Webber,
a prominnt Illinois Baptist minister.
was shocked today over the dis
covery that she is not an American
citizen, but a subject of King
George OF England.
That she was not an American
citizen was never suspected by Mrs.
Weber until she and her husband
recently applied for passports TO
tour Europe.
The strange situation arises from
a twist in the law governing inter
marriage OF foreign men and Ameri-
can women which makes the
woman subject Of whatever coun-
try her husband is a national.
Her husband received his final
naturalization papers in 1924, bur
that did not change the status of
his wife, who automatically be-
came a British subject when she
married the minister. The State
Department has notified her that
she will have to take out second and
final papers il she wishes to become
an American citizen.

WRECKERS
DESTROY ART
BY International News Service

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Federal
dry agents who hewed their way
into Chez Morgan, exclusive night
club, letting the chips fall where
they might, appeared today to have
set Uncle Sam back some $500, 900
by their action in using axes on
work of art, mahogany panelling,
carved decorations and furniture.
The fact that Maj. Maurice Camp
bell, New York dry chief, and his
AK men, were overenthusiastic
when they demolished Helen Nor
gan's clab on, December 80. appeared
to be definitely established in black
and white by the action of Assistant
United States Attorney General
Robert B. Watts.
He cleared Helen Morgan and
Arthur Gordoni OF all charges in
connection with the strong-arm raid
Both had been placed under arrest.
He decided that everything smashed
or carted away must be returned,
with the exception of the barroom
fittings. The cost is estimated at
100000.
Watts decided that seven walters
charged with possessing liquor at
the club would have TO stand trial.
