suggestion Of Mrs. Taft that Japanese
cherry trees be planted along the drive.
On later visits to Washington, both
the Secretary and Mrs Stimson be-
walled the passing Of the horse from
the official fold. And now, returning,
they are delighted with the vogue for
equestrian pleasures In the parks. Both
are graceful riders.
It Is said that when he was Secretary
of War Mr.. Stimson protested to
President and Mrs. Taft because they
used motor cars instead of horses. In
keeping with the times, however, the
new Secretary and his wife use motor
cars themselves during their present
Washington residence.
Speaks Several Languages.
Mrs. Stimson speaks several Ian
glages and has travelled much Before
her marriage, i'll 1890. she was Miss
Mabel Wellington White. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A.
White, New Haven, Conn.
The StimSonS have a home in New
York City, and a country place in
Westminster County, where they keep
string of horses and enjoy all the de-
lights of country life.
Mrs. Stimson is attractive, and
dresses modiShly but with conservatism.
She has a low, soft voice, and an ar
resting manner of speaking.

Working with this extremely delicate
instrument last Summer, DR.. Abbot was
able to secure measurements of Is stars
and the planets Mars and Jupiter.
From the results, he said, it will be pos
Sible to measure the diameters of the
observed stars. The instrument, DR..
Abbot explained, was a development
from the idea used in a radiometer
commonly sold by opticians as sort of
mechanical toy.
The stars are moving in two enormous
CELESTIAL streams running in opposite
directions to and from point in the
constellation Cygnus, the Swan, at a
velocity Of approximately 10 kilometers
second relative to each other, said
Jan Schilt of the Yale University OBJ
servatory, who based his calculations
on the observed proper motions of about
10000 heavenly bodies, >.
There is an old controversy in astron-
omy, Schilt said, as to whether the stars
are moving in two streams, passing
through each other like two swarms of
bees, or In one stream which flows in
an elliptoid through space. The latter
has won more favor because it Is easier
to put into q mathematical formula.
The newer observations, however, con-
firm the existence Of, the star streams.

HAVRE DE GRACE RACE TRACK,
Md, April 23.--Racing conditions re-
turned to normal today and one of the
largest weekday crowds Of the meet
turned out for the sport.
The track. which was muddy yester-
day, had dried out and the going was
practically fast.
The Pathfinder, race of mile and
70 yards for the 3-year -olds and up

program. 1t attracted a field Of eight.

The secondary feature of the days

the card was made up of rather ordi-
nary horses, but the fields were well
filled out.

Wacket, warm paddock tip, ran off
with the first race OF the program. a

MRS. STIMSON WELL EQUIPPED
FOR HIGH SOCIAL POSITION
Exacting Duties Fall on Wife
of New Secretary
of State.
Previous Experience in Off
ciaI Washington's Life
Serves Her Well.
BY MARGARET HART.

Officially and socially the wife of the
Secretary of State holds position OF
importance second only to that of the
wife of the President. Mrs. Henry Lewis
Stimson, wife of the new Secretary of
State, is exceptionally fitted for this
place.
Not only has she served before as a
cabinet hostess. when her husband was
Secretary of War in the Taft cabinet,
but as wife of the Governor General of
the Philippines she had further expert
ence in official life.
It is the custom for ladies Of the
cabinet to consult with the wife of the
Secretary of State in arranging days at
home and other social functions. Next
to Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. StimSon is the
presiding officer of the women Of the
cabinet, Just as the wife of the Vice
President, when the Vice President is
married, is the presiding officer of the
ladies of the Senate.
Prominent in Red Cross Work.
1t has been 16 years since the present
Secretary of State left Washington, at
the close of the Taft administration,
although the Stimsons have often visited
the city since then. They passed many
weeks in Washington during the war,
when Mr.. Stimson was assistant judge
advocate of the Army. Later he was a
lieutenant colonel in the 306th Regi-
ment, serving in France.
Mrs Stimson, an active person. was
prominent in the Red Cross during the
war, and often visited Washington to
attend its conferences.
Mrs. StimSon was one of the chief
supporters of Mrs. william Howard
Taft in her undertaking to make driv-
ing about the Speedway popular, and
in having certain features added to the
drives and banks and paths along the
water. The then Secretary of War and
Mrs. Stimson used to be among those
in the long line of horSe-drawn vehicles
which circled the Speedway on pleasant

smaller way as those of England and

especially to those two countries.

Information here is that Ambassador
Gibson'S speech Is receiving the closest

Status OF Delegation.
The American delegations status was
reiterated that is. that Ambassador
Gibson has no instructions authorizing
opening of individual negotiations with
any of the naval powers at Geneva.
1t was his belief. and the belief of
those working with him. that If the pre-
paratory disarmament commission
would accept the American principles
as to methods of reduction. the cause
of disarmament would have made a
considerable leap forward, since it would
provide basis of work for future in
ternational conference.
Fixing of the exact figures Of total
tonnage Of fleets and the tonnage In
each category OF warships would. 1t was
generally thought here, be entirely out
side the province Of the preparatory
commission. and would have to be
agreed upon at such future interna-
tional conference.
This future conference might be held
either IN Geneva, as the port of the
disarmament activities of the League
of Nations, place designated by one of
the naval powers inviting other ma
lions to participate in a naval parley, or
might be merged with the second Wash
ington conference. fixed by the Wash
tngton treaty itself for 1881.
AS seen here the proposals OF Mr..
Gibson represented something in the
nature Of compromise between the
extremes of British and American
viewpoints at Geneva in 1927.

Newton Darden Suggests
Trees Bloom Should Be
National Blossom.

The Towering dogwood should be
adopted as the national flower for the
United States, according to Newton j.
Darden OF 922 Grant place northwest,
VINO has written to the managers of
the dogWood-preservation campaign ap-
proving the protection policy.
The United States has no distinc-
tive flower to represent the Nation as
whole" he wrote. MANY States all
ready have adopted some flower pecu-
liar to the locality, but while the Gov
eminent possesses coat of arms and a
flag, no floral emblem has been desig-
mated, and the dogwood is peculiarly
adapted to that purpose. 1t is indigenous
to a large area of the United States, its
flowers possess rare and pleasing
beauty that enshrine them in natural
sentiment and this magnificent flower
should be designated as symbol of
purity FOR all time to come. It is a
most fitting emblem of American ideals.
Would Eclipse Cherry Trees.
"Dogwood CColnus Florida) Is found
in wooded areas throughout all Eastern
North America, the central valleys of
the interior and to some extent in the
far West. and aside from its pristine
beauty the tree is a fine hardwood
utilized in many industries. The dog
wood flower. sometimes tinged with
purple and red, attains its greatest per-
lection in the lower Mississippi Valley
region, and woodlands with many dog
wood trees in bloom at this season Of
the year. present a matchless scene
OF beauty Incompatible to any other
forest scene.
If Washington had a dogwood for
est equal in extent to the japanese
cherry trees in Potomac Park. when
the dogwoods come into bloom. their
massive beauty would eclipse the
cherry blossoms now so much ad-
mlred by all. I have seen small areas
OF woodland interspersed with many
dogwood trees in bloom that in many
respects transcribed our panorama of
cherry blossoms around the tidal basin.
Adapted to Purpose.
America now requires a national
flower for decorative purposes, one that
lends itself to many forms of floral util-
ity; flower beautiful in itself and dis
tlnctively representative of the Nations
ideals Of purity and stability, the dog
wood is pre-eminently adapted to fill
these most exacting requirements of
national floral emblem. It's flower may
De carved readily or otherwise repro
duced in wood or stone. and is unmis-
taxable when once known: it is sus-
ceptible Of artistic treatment when
painted and engraved. and may easily

Its leaves are dark green. ovate-
acuminate with outstanding veins. and

yellow; its seeds, usually five to seven
In number. ripen in late Summer and
form shapely clusters of orange-red on
stem. which, contrasted against the
dark green leaves of the tree, form a
pleasing picture of floral beauty. and
the tree itself, though not large, is
stately: its branches and sprigs are SYM
metrical; all of which especially fit the
dogwood to become the national floral
emblem Of the United States"

authority to invoke the export deben-
ture plan.
Under the export debenture plan a
bounty may be granted upon exports
of raw agricultural commodities or their
food products. The bounty Is payable
in form Of currency denominated ex-
port debentures The amount of the
bounty so payable upon the export of
an agricultural commodity is one-half
the amount of the import duty on such
q commodity. In the case of exports
of food products the bounty payable is
proportionate to the amount of raw
commodity consumed in the manufac-
ture of the product. Debentures are
legally tenderable at their face amount
in payment of import duties. The cost
to the Government Is the amount dis
bursed as the export bounty through
the issuance of export debentures. Ex-
cept in so far as exporters of deben-
turable commodities are also importers,
the negotiable debenture certificates
necessarily would be sold sufficiently
below par to induce importers to use
them in preference to cash in the pay
ment of import duties. For this reason
the domestic market for the commodity
would be influenced by somewhat less
than the full amount of the debenture
THE effect upon production of any
increase in the price of the commodity
would depend on the policy which the
board might choose to adopt In invok-
ing this optional provision"

ST. LOUIS, April 23-Gasoline, oil
and merchandise estimated to have
been worth 100000 were destroyed in
a spectacular fire accompanied by a
series of explosions after an inbound
Frisco freight train was derailed in
South Kirkwood, st. Louis suburb, early

The wreck and fire completely tied
up Frisco train service on the main

1t would be restored until late today.
More than 100000 gallons of gasoline
and oil, IL railroad cars, storage
tank and two motor trucks were burned.
Fire companies from st. Louis and
several suburbs prevented q heavier

The series of heavy explosions as the
lire spread to the gasoline tank cars
aroused residents for miles around and
some citizens said they were shaken

Law in initiating the clash-in which
Gen. Gales hopes to repeat his devas-

Pulpito Pass into Sonora, and would
shortly be in a position to attack the

Gen. Gales tactics involved inflict-
