Blue or Green To Be
Easter Color for
Mrs. Hoover

Soft French blue or an equally
delicate shade of green will pre-
dominate in Mrs. Hoover's Easter
ensemble. the inquiring reporter
discovered today. A printed dress
and solid color coat will, in all
probability, feature the new First
Lady's attire for the big prom
enade day of the year.
An exact description of Mrs.
Hoover's Easter finery could not
be obtained because, as it was
explained. 'it all depends on the
weather" Blues and greens,
however, are catching her eye
and she is said to be especially
partial to them.
She is shopping for her Easter
clothes in just the same way that
thousands of other women are.

High School Physical
Director Adds Golf
to Courses

Because baseball, football, tennis
and basketball are laid aside by
men when they quit school, and
occupy so few players in any
game, DR.. e. B. Henderson, di-
rector of physical education in
the high schools of the tenth to
the thirteenth divisions, has in.
troduced golf into the course.
Having secured the assistance
of Cyrus ". Shippen, one Of the
teachers Of the Dunbar High
School, and a former golf profes.

list the boys who have been
caddies. as professionals who may
be of assistance to the players
who employ them, and other boys
who may need the exercise in
after school days when the more
active games are forbidden.
DR.. Henderson says Golf is the
ideal exercise, lending itself to
the free time of the player"

Almost on the eve of his passing
from office, Major Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent of police, has issued
an order-perhaps the most drastic
since he has headed the police force
directing his precinct commanders
to file detailed reports with the
district attorney of every place in
their territories where liquor is
sold Or stored.
The District Attorneys office will
take these reports, Major Hesse
said, and use them as the basis for
paddock injunction proceedings.
BOotieggers Remember
The power of the paddock is still
fresh in the minds of bootleggers
who watched revenue agents go
into court last fall and have LIE
Paradis, one of Washington's most
popular dancing and dining places,
closed for year because walters
served cracked ice and ginger ale
to patrons.
Although Major Hesse worded his
order so carefully that precinct
commanders will not be able to
escape reporting speakeasies with
the excuse that their existence was
not noted on precinct records, the
task of seeing that the order is
complied with probably will fall
on the shoulders of Major Hesse 8
successor.
Major Hesse has asked that he be
retired at the end II this month.

BE. BASIS
OF NEW
BILL

Senator Brookhart of Iowa,
is making a personal investiga-
tion of the excessive raises in
pay which high-paid employees
of the Government are al
legged to have received from
the Welch salary act.
Brookhart, ranking member of
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, revealed today that he had
requested each department of the
Government to give him detailed
information about the raises given
to its higher paid employees under
the Welch law. the number that
received the raises, their names,
and the amount they received.
He wants the information, he said,
as a basis for working out per-
sonnel legislation.
Recalls Gut Aim
In the last session the House at.
tempted to enact legislation reduc-
ing the salaries of employees in the
upper grades. In case another
attempt is made in this direction.
Brookhart wants to know exactly
what the situation is. ~
II have heard SO much about
the excessive raises that were given
these employees that want to know
just exactly what raises were
given them Brookhart said today.
Ever since the Welch act went
into effect it has been charged
both in and out of Congress that
the. lower paid employees of the
Government got little good out of
it, while. the higher paid employees
received substantial increases.
Amendment Follows
The situation came to a head
near the close of the last session
when the House attached an amend
ment to the second deficiency ap-
preparation bill directing that the
salaries OF employees in the upper
grade be reduced.
The E, Senate, attempting to i'm
prove the situation in another way,
cut out the House amendment and
inserted an amendment providing
for further increases in the lower
grades.
The two counteracted each other
and neither was included in the
final draft, leaving the situation
just as it was.

More Boy Babies Die
For Lack of Sunlight

The Children's Bureau of the
Labor Department revealed yester-
day that more boy babies than girl
babies are born every year, but
that more boy babies die.
There is no explanation for this
peculiar phenomenon. For one
thing boy babies need more sun
light than girl babies. Certain it
is that the boys are more prone to
ricketts,, due to insufficient sun
light the statement said.
The bureau reports show that
for every 100 girl babies who die in
the first year, 130 boys die
Artificial sunlight for the boys is
one remedy now being urged.

EXECJT TIVE
MAY FISH
THERE

President Hoover will not
carry out the Coolidge plan
of establishing a summer
White House at NJ ou n t
Weather, Va, it became known
today.
Instead, the new President is
looking around for his own sum-
mer recreational spots, and has al
ready centered upon two of them
in nearby Virginia and Maryland
A Presidential fishing ground is
to be established in Madison coun-
ty, Va, at the headwaters Of the
Rapidan river which lie within the
confines of the new Shenandoah
National Park.
Buys 1850 Acres
A deal has about been consum-
mated also for the purchase by
Lawrence Richey one of Mr..
Hoover's secretaries of what Is
known as the Catoctin Furnace
Tract near Hagerstown Md. 1t
comprises some 1900 acres.
Richey Is purchasing the prop
erty for himself and not for Mr..
Hoover although 1t is expected the
place will be fitted up for Presi-
Dental occupancy on occasion.
President Hoover's decision to
abandon the Coolidge plan of spend
ing $4S,000 to make the old Govern
ment observatory at Mt. Weather
habitable as a summer White House
is said to be final. Congress had
already authorized the appropria-
ton, but it will not be used. 1t
marks another Coolidge policy
ditched by the new President.
Hunted For Weeks
Since his return to Washington
from South America, President
Hoover has spent considerable time,
and Richey has spent more. ira
versing about Maryland and Vir-
ginia looking for desirable sum-
mer retreats.
The Catoctin tract, near Hagers-
town, appealed to Richey and he
decided to buy it for himself, with
his chiefs fishing and outing pro-
clivities in mind. }
Plans to establish a fishing camp
in the Shenandoah Park are now
being worked out by officials OF
the National Park Service and Vir'
ginia State officials.
One of the improvements to be
made is construction of a new
$4,000 road, from Madison Court
House. through Criglersville, to the
mountain.
A fishing lodge is to be con-
structed, too, with all modern con-
veniences such as electric lights and
telephones, but with none OF the
snowy appurtenances Of summer
mansion. It will be fishing lodge
and not a show place.

Senators Wag Moral
Finger at Bingham,
Who Hired Lobbyist

WASHINGTON, Nov. Hiram
Bingham, Connecticut senator who
employed a lobbyist as his tariff
secretary, was solemnly censured
today by his fellow-senators who
are more careful in covering up
their own "indiscretions."
At the same time the lobby inves-
tigating committee was preparing to
go into the charge that democratic
Senator William King, of Utah, has
employed in his office representa-
tive of the German chemical and
dye industry. King, Of course, in
dignantly denied the charge today.
Nothing much will happen to
King if the charges are formally
proved. He is expected to face the
same resolution passed on the other
lobbyist-that the action is "con-
trary to good morals and senatorial
ethics and tends to bring the senate
into dishonor and disrepute."
