ATTACK CHARGED
TO TWO SOLDIERS
Fort Myer Arrests Follow In
quiry Into Condition of Mrs.
Resale Gillette.
BY a stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY q 6Jan correspondent OF Inc star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, July
4.-Following o two-day investigation
by Arlington County authorities, the
military authorities at Fort Myer last
night took into custody "Al" Williams
and Shorty" Burns, both Of Troop F,
in connection with an alleged attack
late Monday night on Mrs. Rosalie
Gillette, ISL Tenth street southeast,
Washington. Mrs. Gillette is in q seri-
Gus condition in Casualty Hospital with
skull fracture and other injuries.
According to A. D. Langley, constable
Of Arlington district, and Policeman
William H. Thompson of the Arlington
County force, the soldiers said Mrs.
Gillette was attacked on the military
reservation.
Mrs Gillette was taken to the hos
ing from the apartment Of Mrs. Lillian
Fontaine, 424 East Capitol street,
Washington, and there told of the al
legged attack. and named Williams as
her assailant.
Following an investigation, Langley
located Mrs. Fontaine and from her
learned that the two women had been
with the soldiers Monday night, hav-
ing gotten in taxicab with them at
ECLlLloyiNdLnh AFcQuG 3IlQ Seventh
street, going from there to Arlington
County.
Williams and Burns were located last
night at the fort and were placed in
the guardhouse by the officer Of the day
to await the result Of q further inves-
tigation to determine whether the al
legged attack occurred on the Govern
ment reservation or in some other spot
In the county.
williams is said to have told the
police that he attacked Mrs. Gillette
after she took all Of his money. Fol-
lowing the attack, 1t Is said, the in
jured woman was placed In q taxicab
and taken to Mrs. Fontaine's apartment,
where she was kept until her condition
assumed such serious proportions that
1t was necessary to remove her to the
hospital. No report had been made of
the case until that time.

200-YEAR-OLD CLOCK
AT BRITISH MUSEUM
Minute Hand on Famous Timepiece
Requires Two Hours to
Traverse Dial.

An amazing clock Is now on exhi-
bition In the British Museum in Lon
don. It Is Thomas Tompions famous
clock, the minute hand of which re-
quires two hours to 60 round the dial
Its maker probably thought that min
utes did not count. He made this clock
so that 1t would go a year without
winding.
Thomas Tompion, who lived from
about 1899 to 17l3, Is known as the
father of English Matchmaking. At an
early age he was taught the farrier's
trade, and one day while regulating
the wheels of a roasting jack he began
his studies in the measurement Of time.
In 1864 he began an apprenticeship
with O London clockmaker and, ac-
cording to historians. soon became mas
ter of his art. He was 50 much ahead
Of his time and had such q thorough
knowledge Of clockmaking that when
the British Royal Observatory was
founded, soon afterward he was chosen
to make its clocks, on whose accuracy
important calculations depended.
Like many of the worlds treasures.
the clock now in the British Museum
was lost for q very long time. It Is
said to have been hidden under mass
of rubbish in an old cupboard for near
ly a century. A short time ago 1t was
bought by an American, who was gen.
erous enough to sell 1t to the British
Museum for the price paid for 1t.

DAUGHTERS SHUN
SPANISH SOCIETY
Children of Rivera, Famous
Dictator, EscheW Popu-
larity and Fame.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, Spain, July 4.-The two
daughters Of the Marquis de Estella,
head of the Spanish government, re-
main in its traditional seclusion that
has been the lot Of Spanish women for
centuries.
Carmen de Rivera, 20, and Maria
mand, but they seldom accept social
engagements. Almost the only time
they appear is upon social occasions de-
signed to aid charity.
Girls Are Modest.
The two girls remain modest and SIM
pie as in the old days when their father
was merely Primo de Rivera, an army
general on q comparatively small salary.
They neither smoke nor drive automo-
biles, as do many Of the modern Span
ish senoritaS.
Both girls were educated in Spanish
converts under their aunt's direction,
their mother having died when they
were quite small.
Old Costumes Stay.
AS o matter of fact, It is only in
Madrid that the so-called modern"
girl has made her appearance in any
noteworthy numbers. The old cos
TUNES of Spain are disappearing from
the streets of the capital, but In the
provinces they still retain their sway
over the feminine heart.
Feminism in Spain perhaps IL best
exemplified by the formation Of q
Woman's Lyceum Club, but there has
been some dif1culty in getting this or
ganization in full stride. Some ate
tempts have been made to divert the
organization from Its cultural aspects
and outlook Of feminism to a more re-
ligious point of view. Many Of the men,
bers object to this.

ECONOMIC EQUALITY
FOR FARMER URGED
Hyde Tells U. S. Educators
of Problems Confronting
AgriCuIturists.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, July 4.-Secretary
Hyde told the National Education As
ISOLATION today that "a place Of eco
nomic equality and opportunity for the
American farmer" must be found.
There are, happily, many thousands
Of prosperous farmers" he said, but
agriculture as a whole has had too
small a share of national prosperity
This Nation cannot afford to view with
complacency any inequality among its
own people.
: The answer to agricultural problems
Is not to be found lin any single scheme
of statecraft," he held but measures
such as the tariff, development Of in
land waterways and other cheap trans
portation, and research to find new
markets and new uses for farm prod
uctS will be generally beneficial. Fur
Their development of reclamation prof.
ectS, he declared, should await the
time when such action is economically
necessary"
The one general answer to farm prob
lens, he said, is organization Ito con-
troll marketing, to StandardiZe output,
to eliminate the waste and duplication
of marketing and distributing system,
which, generally speaking, absorbs 50
for every ST. it returns to the farmer.
Thus the farmer can approximate the
position Of industry or of other groups"
Outlining the purpose of the Federal
Farm Board to help the farmer to help
himself, he aid it cannot function Oh
its own account" but 1.-The initiative
lies with the farm cooperative associa-
tionS"
