Three Methods Explained.
Keneipp had explained the three
methods OF making left turn now
being considered in Washington and
answered numerous questions on trafflc
problems. He said that, while the A. A.
A. is not taking poll, 400 of the 300
persons who had visited the local Office
recently had expressed themselves in
favor Of the Hoover turn.
A lengthy resolution, framed by the
school committee, expressing the asso-
cations desire to cooperate with the
public school authorities In the plan
to provide proper classroom facilities
for local seventh and eighth grades by
temporarily utilizing available space
IN the new Langdon School, which pro-
voked more than two hours discussion
at the May meeting and was finally
referred back to the committee, was
last night unanimously adopted with
out debate. The resolution also asks
that this arrangement be permanently
relieved by the early construction Of a
junior high school building on the site
recently acquired for that purpose.

Earl c. Wood. chairman of the COM
mittee. however, who was not in
sympathy with the views Of the ma jor-
ity Of its members urged that the center
Of the roadway be developed as park,
inasmuch as it would result in another
beautiful gateway to the National
Capital.
The majority of the citizens expressed
the opinion that it was desirable to
slow up rather than accelerate Bladens-
burg road traffic, and that II the
establishment of center parkway
would do this. 1t was desirable. The
opening of Maryland, New York. West

Appropriate Embodiment.
As the trophy for which the nine
young orators will contend In the in
ternational meet. the Sevres vase is
the embodiment of appropriateness from
its creation to its delivery here. The
Sevres porcelain works are operated
by the French government through its
ministry of public instruction, under
whose guidance the contest is admin
istered as part of the traditional. CON
courS general In France. The products
of the porcelain works are regarded as
objects of art rather than manufactury
and. since art is education. the repub-
lie has placed that industry under Its
department of education.
The donation Of the vase as the
trophy of the contest was authorized by
Pierre Marraud, the minister Of public
instruction. In sending the trophy here
aboard the s. s. De Grasse, another
gesture of fitness was executed, for the
ship is named for the French admiral,
De Grasse, who, in blockading the Brit
iSh fleet during the battle at York.
town in the American Revolutionary
War. endeared himself to American
patriots.

mark the first time in. the history of the
contest that the youthful championship
contenders have fought for q govern
ment-offered trophy. Prior to last year
the international finals silver cups we're
given by the contest organization it
self. Last year the contest adnninistra-
tors of Canada inaugurated the policy
of having the trophy hail from different
competing nations each year.
The policy instituted then further
decreed that the trophy should be in
some measure typical of the country
from which 1t comes and so the Cana
dian cup, designed especially for the
contest, bore the maple leaf Of the
Dominion.
When the champion is determined
in this years contest the Sevres vase
will be presented to him upon the stage
at Constitution Hall as soon as the
announcement of his victory Is made.
When the winner departs for his home
the vase will follow him through diplo-
matte channels to be delivered to him
again when he reaches his homeland.
There is q chance, however, that the
French embassy will be the last bit Of
foreign soil the vase will traverse, for
the United States has its own con-
tender for the championship in Ben
Swofford, and he halls from no further
cline than Kansas City, Mo.

Presented on Birthday.
The presentation of the check by
Harold Bauer, president of the Bee
thoven Association. to Dr. Herbert Put
nam, Librarian of Congress, took place
on october 6. the birthday of Mr.. Son.
neck, who died in New York, October
80, 1928, at the age of SIS.
Mr.. Sonneck was the first chief of
the music division; he was appointed in
1902 and served until 1917, when he re-
signed to become an executive in a
music publishing house. His labors
laid the foundations and assured the
methodical development of the re-
markable music collection in the Ma
tional Library, and his photographers
spread among scholars and musicians
here and abroad the renown Of his
achievement.
Continued Interest.
Mr.. Sonneck's interest in the growth
of the collection did not cease with his
separation from the library service, MOI
did his active help end with his death
In his will he bequeathed to the music
division $4,000 for the purchase of an
original manuscript by one of the great
masters of classical music
When detail concerning the applica-
ton of the "Sonneck Memorial Fund"
have been elaborated. they will be an
nounced by the library. Hope is ex-
pressed that this fund will prove a nu-
cleus around which an even larger re-
source may develop, as the terms of the
endowment permit additional contribu-
tons to it.
