OVERHEAD

Expenses in getting the idea
under way, raising the working
fund and maintaining headquarters,
will amount to about per cent of
the total collected. Rudolph Jose,
treasurer of the Washington Com.
munity Chest, will report today at
the annual meeting and election
of officers and trustees, to be held
at 4 o'clock in the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
A total of $1,5O1 ,56O.57. exclusive
of the profits of the Inaugural
Charity Ball, which have not yet
been received, was raised in the
recent campaign. The campaign
expenses were $41 ,69S.23, to which
is added $6,1S5.46, borrowed before
January to cover the cost of pre-
l!minary organization. The cost of
preliminary organization and the
campaign amount TO 81 per cent of
the amount subscribed. 1t is esti.
mated that the cost of maintaining
the organization on a year-round
basis will be 30 per cent.
Under the old system 1t Is be.
lived it would have cost any of

Duke Ernst is known as the
high stopper" among the former
German rulers, and has been a
well-known figure in the night life
of Berlin, Paris and other European
cities.
His wife, formerly Princess
Adelheid of Schaumburg.I. .I.ippe, di.
voiced him in 1920, but, according
to the ThurinGian government. he
Is unable to pay her the alimony OF
100, 900 marks annually, so that the
, duchess is dependent upon the sup
port of her friends.
Settled With State
After his Abdication, Duke Ernst
reached an agreement with the
State of ThurinGia, into which his
former principaiity had been incof'
porated. according to which. he re-.
ceived 5,2O0,O0 marks in settlement
of all claim against the state
which had Confiscated his property.
In 1924 he attacked this settle
ment and the state raised the sum
to lO,0O0,00O marks, In addition,
he had retained from his private
property some coco 900 marks which
the state had not found.
Today he declares that he is not
only penniless, but that he has
debts amounting to $2jO,O00. For
that reason he is again attacking
the settlement and demands an an
nual payment sufficient to keep him
in the style to which he has been
accustomed
New Agreement Likely
The Thuringian minister Of IL
nance is inclined to try for a new
agreement. decalrihg that a former
ruling prince cam pt very we'll be
| come the object of public charity.
The dukes claim. however, faces
a serious obstacle in bill already
| adopted in the HeichstraZ, according
| to which the valOriZation of annui
ties derived from the surrender OF
former sovereignty rights must
range not higher than between
! and 25 per cent. while annuities de
| rived from rights which today would
be considered Immoral" must cease
altogether
This bill does not affect Duke
Ernst directly, but the principle OF
| Stricter treatment of the former
rulers which the bill incorporates
does. 1t may become n powerful
/ argument against any state conces
| SiOnS to the duke.

Advertising Standards
Of Value Are Cited

The profession of advertising is
Invaluable to America because it
sets standards of value. price and
quality for everyday commodities.
Representative NJ. CLYDE Kelly. of
Pennsylvania. told the Advertising
Club at it's weekly luncheon meet
ing in the National Press Club
Auditorium. yesterday.
The trademark is one of the
greatest inventions ever introduced
into the world of business. rep
resentative Kelly said. particularly
the trademark which bears the
name of the maker. That stamps
an article at its standard worth, so
that the person purchasing the ar
ticle may classify it accordingly.
The entertainment for the meet
ing was furnished by Marion
Magee. acrobatic dancer. accom-
panied on the piano by Sam HoI-
land. The act. was staged through
the courtesy of Jack Mullane.

MYST|F|ED
BY SUIT FOR
S250,000

NEW YORK. March 81 U.S)-
Madame Julia Claussen, Metropoli.
tan Opera star, is mystified over the
$3.50, 900 action for damages in which
she has been served with a summons
by Madame Lydia Lindgren, accord.
ing to the statement yesterday of her
attorney, John s. Keith. Robert
Dempsey, attorney for Madame
Lindgren. refused to shed light on
the matter.
The two Swedish singers have
been acquainted with each other for
about 12 years, according to Keith,
and during that time have met on
three occasions. Keith said:
Lawyer Awaits Details
Beyond the statement that the
action is for Islander and defamation
of character we have no knowledge
as to why the suit is being brought.
We are awaiting the details.
Madame Claussen met Madame
Lindgren in Chicago in 1915 for the
first time and had a casual acquaint-
ance with her. Two years later,
when Madame Claussen was leaving
for Sweden. Madame Lindgren asked
her to convey a package for her to
a relative in that country, which
Madame Claussen did.
"In 1917, she saw her for few
minutes in hotel in New York. She
has not seen her since that time"
Keith said that Madame Claussen
would not undertake to answer alle-
cations in connection with the suit,
or make any statements, until Mad
anne Lindgren's declaration has been
filed and he is more fully informed
as to the causes of the action.
Tells Of ISLANDERS"
Dempsey asserted that he Is not
ready to reveal the facts upon which
the action against Madame Claussen
IS based, but said that in general
way it relates to alleged persecution
over a period of years. He added:
Madame Lindgren has been the
victim of insidious gossip touching
her professional ability and social
standing over a period Of five or six
years. Effects of these innuendoes
have extended even back to her home
in Sweden, where they have come to
the ears of her relatives and child
hood friends. We shall go into the
matter in detail in our declaration"

D, c. works FOR
AIR MEET

Washington, as the center of the
Federal Government and also the
seat of foreign representatives in
the United States, is the logical
place to hold the annual convention
of the National Aeronautic Associa.
ton in 1882, providing the city has
modern, thoroughly equipped
landing field upon which to handle
the hundreds of airplanes which
would come here. officials of the
Washington Board of Trade, which
Is fighting to get the convention
here, declared last night.
Coupled with the convention are
the air races, the outstanding fea-
ture of the annual conclave. In
1882, the bicentennial of George
Washington's birth, Washington will
be the mecca of thousands of tour
lists and the aviation meet would
naturally be focal point for the
visitors, Lawrence +. Williams,
chairman of the aviation committee
of the Board Of Trade, said last
night.
Everything seems to hinge on the
availability of an airport.

With the special permission of
King Albert. the Symphonic Band
of the Royal Belgian Guards was
presented in concert at Polls
Theater yesterday afternoon under
the local management of Mrs. VIII
son-Greene.
The opening number, Bach's "Pre-
lude and Fugue in A Minor" i'm.
mediately displayed the excellent
training and musicia nship of the
men, under The leadership OF Capt.
Arthur Provost.
The organization. more than a
century old. displayed its perfec-
ton in every number. Subtle ex-
pressions and tonal shading blended
warmly with the artistry of tech
nique. Each player is a finished
musician and their individual and
cooperative response to the direc.
tions of their energetic conductor
was military in its punctuality and
perfect execution.
THE Offertory for the Midnight
Mass by Franck was their most
stupendous symphonic endesVor.
The display of tOnal control rang
ing from full blasts, ikened to an
organ,- to singing effects resem-
bling the most delicate stringing of
harp, We're rewarded by prolonged
applause from the thrilled auditors.
The Bartered Bride by Smetana
was perhaps the most appreciated
number of the very well appointed
program. 1t was thoroughly pic
torial in its musical arrangement
and under the guiding baton of
Captain Provost, every trick of
orchestral magicry was employed
to express the appealing tale.
The band played for President
and Mrs. Hoover, at the White
House. before the public concert.
Prince de Ligne. the Belgian am
bassador to the United States, and
Hugh Gibson, our ambassador to
Belgium, attended the recital.
