BRUSSELS. Belgium, January 49,
Belgium rendered a rare tribute Of
esteem and gratitude to Herbert Hoover

word of greeting from the distin-
guished American, transmitted from
beyond the Atlantic by radio telephone.
Gathered in large hall of the Palace
of Academies were King Albert, Am
bassador Hugh Gibson, seven members
of the cabinet and a thousand promi-
nent representatives of all classes.
Premier Jaspar addressed them with
words of appreciation of the work of
Mr.. Hoover as director of Belgian relief.
Then the distinguished company dom
ned headphones and listened to Mr..
Hoover's response from Washington

A.A.A. INSISTS AWARD
TO OFFICER is RIGHT
Asks City Heads to Review Status
of Cycle Hero in Hit
and-Run Case.

A protest over the refusal Of the Dis
trict Commissioners to permit Motor
Cycle Policeman w. A. Shooter to accept
a reward from the American Automobile
Association for capturing "hit-and-
run" driver. reported with liquor in his
car, after the driver, in an, attempt to
escape, struck and killed a pedestrian,
was dispatched to Chairman Dougherty
of the board of Commissioners yesterday
by Ernest N. Smith, general manager
of the three. AS. ,
The association, 1t was said, fails to
understand why the officer should not
be permitted to accept the offered 500
reward, since local police are allowed
to accept rewards for the arrest of Army
and Navy deserters and to accept COM
pensation for returning stolen cars, Mr..
Smith declared. He asked that the
matter be reconsidered.
] The Commissioners last week directed
that Shotter be commended for his
feat, but withheld permission to &C
cept the reward, holding that police
men should not be subject to rewards
for doing work for which they are en-
ployed. The city heads acted on recon-
mendation of Maj. Edwin B. HeSse,
VA ROAANNs "AAO ANkOA w.
that Shotter himself felt he was only
doing his duty.
Mr.. Smith, however, informed Com
missioner Dougherty that the auto

MEMORIAL ROUTE
ACTION EXPECTED
Commission Meets Thurs
day to Consider Route of
Proposed Boulevard.

The route for the memorial boule-
ward linking the Capital with Mount
Vernon may be selected by the George
Washington Bi-centennial Commission
when it convenes Thursday.
The Bureau of Public Roads of the
Department. of Agriculture, which has
been working on plans for the high
way, is expected to file its recommended
ton with the executive committee OF
the commission tomorrow. A meeting
of the executive committee has been
called for tomorrow by Senator FesS,
Republican, of Ohio, vice chairman of
the commission, preliminary to the
gathering of the entire commission
three days later.
The last session of Congress appro-
priated $2,50o,000 toward the Mount
Vernon boulevard, so that as soon as
the exact route has been selected the
project can go forward. 1t is hoped to
complete the highway before 1882, when
the Nation will commemorate the 2OOth
anniversary of the birth of George
Washington.
River Route Suggested.
While final decision rests with the
commission, indications the last few
years have pointed to river route as
the one generally favored in preference
to a western route. Two years ago
while the boulevard bill was awaiting
action, officials of the Public Roads
Bureau told Congress a route along
the shores of the Potomac offered un-
usual possibilities, explaining that the
river route abounds in historic interest
and would carry the boulevard through
the city of Alexandria, which is close
ly associated with the memory OF
washington.
5 The executive committee of the BIZ
centennial Commission at its meeting
tomorrow is expected to go over ques-
tions to come before the commission
Thursday.
In addition to taking action for start
ing the boulevard, the commission is be-
lieved to be nearing consideration OF
suggestions as to the form of celebration
that should mark the observance OF
Washington'S birth.
State Celebration Suggested.
1t has been suggested to urge each
State and the counties within the
States to hold local events to COM
memorate the bicentennial, but thus far
nothing definite has been determined as
to the extent of the national celebra-
ton In the Capital
The boulevard to Mount Vernon
which will be permanent memorial
of the bicentennial, will start from the
Virginia end of the new Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge. The total sum author
lied by Congress for the boulevard is
$4,500,000.
President Coolidge is chairman of the
commission and the Thursday meeting
is to be held at the White House.

HOOVER ENDORSES.
COMMUNITY CHEST
Great Advantages of Plan
Cited by President in
Explaining Stand.

Full Endorsement of the Community
Chest idea for gathering funds and dis
tributing benevolences yesterday was
expressed by PreSident-elect Herbert
Hoover, himself an expert in large-Scalc
distribution of charity. Mr.. Hoover also
dealt with the results obtained through
the operation of Community Chests and
pronounced the plan as one Of distinct
value and importance.
In talk on the Community Chest
idea. the PreSident-elect said
The Community Chests have demon
etrated their value and Importance.
They represent probably our greatest
advances in the administration of
charity through their great purpose of
giving large vision of the obligation
of the whole city, OF the integrity of
charitable administration and of the
overcoming of prejudice-all of these
things have been brought into living
being by the Community Chest.
Systematically Spreads Givers.
"The Community Chest has system
etically spread the number of giverS
throughout our community. 1t has in
creased the interest of the communities
in public charities themselves. It has
eliminated the element of misguided
sentimentality 1t relieves the officers
OF charitable institutions of the time
and anxiety they must otherwise give to
the gathering of funds for the support
OF these institutions, and therefore re-
leases to the communities the fine en-
ergy that must be used to attain the
greatest good 1t has tended to de-
crease the overlap. 1t gives the organi-
cations more measured and sounder
nj fYAc
Misrepresentation. 1t establishes each
individuals responsibility to the COM
munity. These are great advantages.
The growth OF the Community
Chest has been the growth and outcome
of a desire for the efficient conduct of
community work, just as we have eff
Gent conduct of business. Our Com
munity Chests represent the sense of
charity in our people. Charity is the
practice of spiritual impulse. It is
the evidence of faith and of hope. 1t
is the restraint of selfiShness. 1t is the
expression of the conscience of man
kind. It is the obligation Of the strong
to the weak. Works Of charity are the
test Of the spiritual development Of men
and communities.
Necessity Overlooked at Times.
AT this time, when we give too much
Importance to material and economic
success, and men place great thought
and esteem upon creature comforts, pos
sessions and riches, we sometimes over
look the necessity for stimulated spirit
ual development that reaches to every
member of the Nation, and there is no
direction in which that stimulation can
be obtained so abundantly and so eff
fectively as through public charity. No
civilization can stand which disregards
the things of the spirit and the test of
real progress is in the spiritual things,
and these are the helpful things in the
world and the worthwhile things to the
community. The Community Chest
stands for this spiritual development 1t
occupies a position that must be built
stronger and stronger if we would build
the spiritual side of American life"
