Stewardship
Elsie Norm

Stewardship in its larger aspects
S the all-inclusive principle of the
whole life. 1t is not a theory of life,
nor a philosophy. but a working
program. 1t is not merely a matter
Of mental assent, but it is an act of
the will and a definite decisive tran
action, touching the whole perimeter
If life. Stewardship shows the true
relationship between a man and his
money; likewise we are stewards Of
all that passes through our hands. To
become a steward means to accept
responsibility and when we accept
responsibility our characters are
strengthened. A steward is a person
who is entrusted with the manage
men of affairs or possessions not
his own. He is not the owner but the
guardian of another's goods, and he
is never to forget it but is to do &C.
cording to the desires Of the owner.
He keeps watch and guard. His are
delegated possessions. He is a trustee
with specific privileges and respon-
sibilities.
The above principles apply directly
to everyday life in the home, in the
church, in the community, and above
all in the school. We enroll in a school
and many things are entrusted to
our care. We are stewards of our
time, our will power, initiative as
well as property. A good steward
budgets his time and abilities. He
feels the necessity of respecting
others. He can be trusted by his
teachers any time and everywhere.
There is no difference between the
misrepresentation Of funds by a bank
cashier and the pupil who steals
time and energy from his fellow
students. 1t is a crime to misuse
school property as well as community
property.
In school life is the proper time
to form habits regarding steward
ship. If the school house could be-
come to us a workshop with teachers
and pupils working together for the
common advancement of everyone
there would be none Of the trifling
dissentions that we sometimes find.
The rewards Of faithful steward
ship cannot be estimated. The most
successful business man in IN COM
munity is the one who is most trust
worthy and dependable, and these
habits must be formed in school life
# they are to be thoroughly ground
into n by the time he takes his
place in the life of his community.

RoCh Pinard Is Declared
Champion, With German
Contender Second.
.ENTRANT FROM MEXICO
TAKES THIRD HONORS
Ambassador Claudel Makes Presen-
tation of French Government
Trophy to Winner.

Roch Pinard, Canada's 18syear old
French-speaking representative, was
proclaimed the world champion high
school orator last night in the Fourth
International Oratorical Contest finals
in Constitution Hall.
The board of judges which picked
Pinard as the best of the nine repre-
sentatives Of 81 nations, proclaimed
Herbert Schaumann, 19, Of Instergurg,
Germany, winner Of second honors in
the contest and Roberto Ortiz Girls. 1S,
of Oaxaco, Mexico, winner Of third
place.
The three winners of the contest
finals were so closely scaled by the
Judges that consultation by the six
multilinguists was required before the
final verdict was reached. The f!rst
ballot, taken from the Judges before
they had discussed the speakers gave
Pinard a low-point total victory, and
placed Schaumann and Girls in the same
order which was given them n the
official decision.
Wins Frances Trophy.
Pinard won not only the world cham
pionship in secondary school oratory,
but he received the handsome SeVres
porcelain vase which the French gov
ernment gave as the trophy in his
years international. Paul Claudel,
French kmbas sador to the United
States. presented the trophy following
the announcement of Pinard's victory
by John Hays Hammond, internation-
ally known engineer and honorary
president of the Constitution Club, an
organization of contestants.
In presenting the vase to Pinard
Ambassador Claudel said that while
only one of you has won the prize,
you all deserved it," Congratulating
the Canadian, another Frenchman,"
on his victory. Mr. Claudel promised
him. and his associates his best wishes
for success in their future endeavors.
Besides the three winners, the con-
testants were Ben Swofford Of Kansas

MCPHERSON SUICIDE
THEORY|SLEFT0 OPEN
Federal Agents Report to
Contain No Opinion as to
Manner of Death.

Despite persistent claims that murder
has been proven and that the SLAYER is
known, The Star has learned that the
Department of Justice has not closed
It's mind to the theory of a coroner's S
jury that Virginia Mcpherson COM
mitted suicide.
There is reason to believe that evi-
dence has been obtained strongly sub
stantiating the contention that the wife
of Robert A. Mcpherson, jr., ended her
life by tying a pajama belt around her
neck and strangling herself to death.
The report of the Government agents
investigating the mysterious Park Lane
tragedy it is understood. will contain
statements of fact indicative of suicide,
not discovered until the trained Federal
investigators were brought into the case.
No Opinion to BE Expressed.
The report itself will contain no ex-
preston of opinion regarding either the
murder or suicide theories, but will con-
stitute an uncolored recounting of facts
established during the course of the
Governments extraordinary inquiry.
A number of loose ends" of the case
remain to be collected during the COM
ing week. The Anal presentation OF
facts to the Federal prosecutor is ex-
pected toward the end of this week or
early In the next.
Conclusions in the probe will be left
to John e. Laskey, special assistant to
the Attorney General, appointed to
prosecute Mcpherson on a first degree
murder charge preferred by a grand
jury. It is possible Laskey will attempt
to form no opinion from the report. but
will present the evidence to the court
for such action as 1t may wish to take
Evidence Is Held Lacking.
The Star has been able to obtain
no official foundation for the reports
that murder has been proven. On the
contrary, it is indicated that careful
consideration of all the conflicting
and confusing statements of more than
800 witnesses has left the Government
without sufficient evidence to convict
any person of the alleged murder.

OHIO TRIP MAY Be
LAST FOR HOOVER
President Plans No More
Extended Speaking Tours
While in Office.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Herbert Hoover probably has made
his last extended speaking trip while
President.
His four-day expedition last week
into the Midwest is known to have
cured him. His experiences on that
nearly 2,000-mile trip, during which
time he made four set speeches and
an impromptu one, has caused him to
decide never again to repeat that sort
Of thing.
What is generally conceded to have
been the Indifferent manner in which
he personally. and his waterways speech
were received in Louisville, KY, last
Wednesday is known to have been a
contributing factor in the Presidents
decision to make no more so-called
swings" around the country for the
purpose of making speeches here and
there and participating in celebrations
of one character or another.
Felt Incident Keenly.
Naturally enough Mr.. Hoover keen!y
felt the lack of interest shown in his
and Mrs Hoovers brief visit to Louis
vile. But the President accepted the
incident in the Kentucky city in
philosophical manner. After calmly re-
viewing the occasion he is satisfied
that no slight was intended by the
Louisville people and what appeared to
be frost was due. not 70 unfriendli-
ness, but to a variety of circumstances
of which the eleventh-hour change in
his plans and the bad weather were
the principal causes.
The fact that Mr.. Hoover has had
enough of these So-called extended
trips does not mean that he will not go
out of Washington occasionally to make
a speech or to take part in some cele-
bration or other worthy occasion. 1t
means that in the future. when he &C
cepts an invitation to speak or visit in
some city, he is not going to be pre-
vailed upon by influential citizens in

YOUTHFUL BANDITS
GET LOOT OF S1O)
Rob Cash Drawer While Hold
ing Store Clerks and Gus
toners at Bay.

Two youthful bandits walked into a
drug store at 1916 New Hampshire
avenue last night and with trembling
hands looted the cash register of $100
while a customer came in, made a pur-
chase and left without realizing that
the store was being robbed.
There we're two clerks and two Gus
toners already in the store when the
bandits entered. They received but
scant attention from the gunner.
One OF the men was armed with an
automatic pistol and the other with a
weapon which one clerk said was a
short rife and the other clerk believed
to be a long revolver. The man with
the automatic pistol went back to hunt
for the cash register while the other
stood guard at the door, warning the
clerks and customers to turn around
and keep quiet"
Couldn't Find Register.
The man who had gone to hunt for
the cash register couldn't find 1t. He
asked Phillip Goldberg, 19-year-old
clerk, where 1t was. Goldberg replied
that 1t was behind the counter. Still
the bandit couldn't find 1t, and finally
his companion left his post at the door
walked back Of the counter and pointed
1t out to the other. Goldberg said the
first bandit was so excited he failed to
see the register although he was stand
ing beside 1t.
While the door was unguarded a
colored man entered. He walked 10
the rear of the store and stopped at
the medicine counter. The bandit mo-
toned Douglas Davis. II, soda clerk,
to wait on him. The colored man
bought a box of headache tablets and
walked out. apparently ignorant Of the
robbery and unaware that the man who
opened the door for him was conceal
ing a rife in the folds of his overcoat.

shire avenue, son of Meyer Goldman

TURN LOBBY PROBE
INTO ATTACK ON
TARIFF MEASURE
Opponents of Bill Plan to Use
Revelations as "Hot
Shot" in Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate lobby investigation has
been turned into a vehicle of attack
upon the pending tariff bill by DEM
ocratic and Progressive Senators.
The opponents Of the bill as it came
from. the Senate finance committee
propose to use the revelations before
the lobby committee as hot shot" to
be hurled at the bill during the Senate
debate. The first broadside was fired
yesterday when Senator Caraway, of
Arkansas, chairman OF the inveSti-
eating committee, submitted a report
on the employment Of G. L. EyanSon,
assistant to the president OF the Con-
necticut Manufacturers Association, by
Senator Bingham, member of the
finance committee. to aid him in his
work on the tariff bill. The report was
followed by speeches by Chairman
Caraway, Senators Walsh of Montana
and George of Georgia. all Democrats,
and brief statements by Senators Borah
of Idaho and Blaine of Wisconsin, of
the Progressive Republican group.
Discuss Grundy Testimony.
Not only was the Eyanson employ
ment by Senator Bingham discussed at
length, but also the testimony given by
Joseph r. Grundy, president of the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers Associa-
ton, showing that he had raised hum
dreds of thousands of dollars for the
Republican campaign last year, and
that he was now working in Washing
ton to see that the tariff views of many
of the contributors to the campaign
fund were carried out.
This method OF attack upon the tariff
bill, in an effort to discredit it before
the country, will be used constantly by
the oils opponents, it was said last
night. Another attack on Senator
Bingham, Grundy and Eyanson Is
