STREET MAKES PLEA
FOR COOPERATION
Team Work Is Vital to Success,
Speaker Tells Boys
Club.

The importance of team work" or
proper cooperation between individuals.
to make life and things a success was
stressed by Elwood Street, director OF
the Washington Community Chest, In
an address at the annual athletic ban
quet at the Boys Club. 230 G street.
last night. The Boys Club is one Of
the member agencies of the chest.
StreSsing the point that team work
is essential in any endeavor, Mr.. Street
said:
The late President Roosevelt once
gave the sound advice under somewhat
similar circumstances that to play the
game of life one should not finch and
should hit the line hard This is still
good advice. To play the game of life
effectively-for all life is more or less
of a game-the player must, indeed. be
courageous, hardy. loyal. willing to take
without complaint the chances of that
game as they come.
In addition to these individual
virtues it is now demanded that he who
plays the game of life must be good
team worker. In basket ball it Is not
enough that the player be good basket
shooter or strong guard. In addition
to that he must obey the signals and
be one OF an effective unit of five
players. each working for the good OF
the team rather than individual play
ers The same thing Is true of every
other game, such as foot ball or base
ball Team work is essential TO sue
cess and the individual prospers as
through team work his team prospers."

on full pension. The recommendation
may go before the Commissioners to.
day or at the boards next meeting Tues.
day.
Although the decision of the board
has not been formally announced, Its
contents were learned on good authority
1t had been almost foregone conclu-
sion ever since Mai. Hesse made his re-
quest for retirement March II that the
board would grant it. The pension rec
commended Is $4,000 per annum. which
is half Of the majors pay as an active
officer.
Hesse Appears.
Mai Hesse appeared before the re-
tirement board yesterday afternoon and
testified that he had broken down physi-
cally and was unable to perform the
important duties of his office as he
thought they should be done
Two members of the Board of Police
Surgeons, DR.. James j. Kilroy and F. Y.
Williamson. supported Mai. Hesse's
statement with medical evidence. They
said that Mai. HeSse had been over
worked. having had only 10 days of. in
GLIDING sick and annual leave, since his
appointment as ma or and superintend-
ent in October. 1925.
The arduous nature of the duties he
is called upon to perform and the fact
that he is subject to call "a hours a
day made it imperative for the best in
terests of Maj. Hesse's health and the
best interests of the Police Department
that he be retired, the physicians as
serted.
Naming Successor Is Problem.
The problem of selecting Maj Hesse's
successor may receive some attention
at the regular meeting Of the Commits
sioners today. but there is large
docket of routine business before the
city heads. and any extended discussion
probably will be reserved for Tuesdays
meeting. No new candidates for the job
appeared today, 20 being already in the
field, OF these 10 are in the ranks of
the Police Department and 10 out
siders.
Inspectors Henry 6. Pratt and Will
liam S. Shelby and Walter G. Ferguson
of the Secret Service now are considered
the favorite candidates in the order
named. T..
