THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTON D c, JUNE ?:

THOUSANDS of freshmen In local high
schools have dreamed of GROWING tina
senior year by becoming colonel Of the WASH
ington High School Cadet Corps. The corps
Is the second oldest of its kind in the United
States To be its commander one must sur
pass not only the pick Of his own school, but OF
all five high schools, in three-year test OF
scholarship, drill field performances and char
acter.

monds Signifying the colonelcy. He also Is

book
Col Lyon has had what most boys want--a
father who gives him all the money he needs.
But apparently this did not slow up his mind,
body and character in the race for the colonelcy
and other public school honoorS
Before Richard could read his nurse read
The Book of Knowledge to him, as well as
other books, which, in simple language de-
Scribed animals and plants and gave" little
glhnpses into history and geography" the
father, Simon Lyon. recalled. Perhaps this
planted q desire for more knowledge. AT any
rate, he always has enjoyed doing his school
work wei.
II encouraged him to enlist In the Cadet
Corps having admired it ever since my own
school days. Summer camp and outdoor drills
have provided good exercise.
"Cadet training has taught him to consider
the other fellow. He may be the colonel, but
after drill ne has taken rear-raAk privates. to
their home in his automobile AS comma ndeF
OF the corps he has been called upon to speak
at all high schools, before both students and
parents. This has developed poise and ability
to express himself"
Two Summers ago the elder Lyon remarked
that his law Office contained work which his
son could do during the few weeks between
cadet camp and the entire family's vacation on
Mackinac Island Richard seized the chance.
Last Summer the opportunity arose again-and
once more Richard helped his father first win
law cases in Washington and later win golf
matches at Mackinac ls5s -. -.,,r
Now the colonel plans TO become a lawyer
to follow once more his fathers example
-EDARENTS of these six sons probably would be
the last to assert that their testimony am
swers Mr.. Barton's question completely In
fact they differ on some points
One thinks athletics contributed most to the
sons progress another gives a harmonious
home this credit; another. Christian teachings;
still another, early selection of life work, and
SO on.
But on two points all agree. These are:
1. Give the boy all that is possible in the
way OF good example education encourage
ment opportunities to exercise physical, mental
and spiritual muscles" comradeship and ad~
vice, and then-after giving him all this !
g. Let him use these gifts as he wishes Les
him live his own life.

His hero was dorado Taft of Chicago a

years are nationally famed. The 9-year-oId boy
was taken to Taft by lady who noted his skill
in working clay at school. Carl was thrilled by
the masters studio and longed to learn how

It all came about through the increasing use
of artificial silk and other synthetic fabrics.
Americas cotton industry was threatened. The
only answer declared the textile experts In the
various Government departments. was to
create new cotton fabrics and styles, and to
find additional uses for American cotton In
American homes.
The first step was the organization of
committee of cotton fiber experts from the
Department of Commerce, the Department OF
Agriculture and the Cotton Textile Institute.
The members of this committee made scien-
tific analysis of the various physical and chemi-
cal properties Of cotton, from the helds Oh
Georgia and other States in the cotton belt TO
the mills of Massachusetts, They investigated
the tensile strength and twist of the individual
fibers and the various weaves in the finished
cloth They explored the whole field OF style
creation.
The result, as every woman knows, Us the
presence of many new cotton fabrics in the
department stores, and cotton prints this Spring
are the vogue.
The results to date have encouraged the
Federal experts TO continue their researches
with cotton in an effort to stimulate further
increased consumption Of the American staple
not only in clothing, but in household fabrics
generally and in the use OF cotton bags and
other containers for food products.
The protection Of different types Of cloth
ing against heat cold wind and rain is being
studied in an effort to improve existing types
of fabrics from health" standpoint
Frequent complaint Is made to the Govern
ment authorities that clothing and household
goods do not seem to wear as well nowadays
as did the fabrics made prior to the World
War.
The Government experts, who are inveStigat-
ing this phase of the clothing problem at the
Bureau Of Standards, declare that nowadays
consumer demand is largely for lightweight
and loosely woven goods, and that naturally
these fabrics do not wear IS well as the
heavier and more closely woven goods. They
have greater llygienic value. however, by per-
hitting better air circulation around the body
THE best basis for the establishment of any
