about all we are doing is speaking
of it, why / read with great inter.
est recently the celebrating of the
ninety some birthday of our genia
benefactor, Mr.. Rockefeller, Sr.
and it brought back many happy
thoughts of my meeting with him
every winter when would play my
little talk dates" at Daytona
Beach, Florida, he would always
come to the auditorium and bring
all the people from his winter
household, servants and all. The
three years I did that, he was right
there and he would not miss sin
gle Gag. He was as keen and as
alert as anyone in the audience,
and was always well versed on
Topics, as on Oil Gravity. He knew
as much about the disarmament
Conferences as he did what the
Clutch SHELF were doing. / always
had few local jokes about him,
and would go down off the "Ros-
trum" and shake hands with him
and he would quietly ask me to
come to his home on the following
morning and have breakfast with
him, at eight o'clock. In fact aft
er the first time, ] would not only
give him the chance to ask me, but
would encourage it. / would stand
by his seat til he had to do some
thing to get rid of me, so the
easiest thing would be to say to
"Come have breakfast with us 2"
Then after fine breakfast, when
he would give US all a dime each as
he come down in the morning, we
would go nearby to the golf course
and he would play eight holes.
The old fellow looks like he is
extremely happy and satisfied, and
I think he feels that he has been Of
some service to his Country as
well as to the passing motorist. He
has not only filled the Country's
tanks, but has filled many dis

Chairman Alexander H. Legge of the
Federal Farm Board, who HAS claShed
frequently and fiercely with President
Hoover's intimate friend and adviser,
julius Barnes, over the boards opera

service with that agency at midnight
on Saturday.
How long he would serve was an

first year at least"
Leaves Step to Hoover.
While the consensus here is that
Legge will serve another year, neither
the President nor the chairman himself
has given any official indication of what
may be expected. On that subject,
Legge is smilingly uncommunicative.
The big chief will give out that
news" he says and refuses to say more.
When the board launched it's wheat
sterilization operations, financed by
loans from the half-billion dollar re-
volving fund authorized by Congress, it
provoked vehement protest from grain
dealers, who wired President Hoover
that their business would be destroyed.
The board continued it's operations,
however, and now is preparing to as

relieve the cotton emergency.

The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States at its annual meeting in
April condemned the boards policy of
using public funds to participate in
business competition with established
agencies. Then, facing his fellow
members of the chamber, Legge dra-
denounced their attitude of
hostility to the board, declaring they
were for farm relief so long as it
didn't work"

Weldon was accused of possessing
IA pints, which had been confis-
Gated by County Ofncers Reese and
Brown, who arrested him. The
mans attorney Clarence Roberts,
questioned the amount of liquor,
however, and the court ordered 1t
measured before the bench. Thomas
r. Henault, clerk, who performed the
measurement, announced the con-
tents of the bottles offered in evil
dence amounted to only IFS pintS.
The Maryland law permits the own
ership of IL pints of home brew.
Judge Sheriff refused to accept
the explanation of Carlton Smith,
colored, of North Brentwood, that

AL|MONY APPEAL
is WON BY CLOTH
Supreme Court ReVerses RuI-
ing Requiring Him to Pay
Wife $50 Weekly.
Nv a stat, Correspondent Of The star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 1.-THE supreme
Court Of Appeals of Virginia today re-,
versed the decision Of the local Circuit
Court by which Commonwealth'S At
torney William G. Cloth was ordered.
several years ago, to pay his wife $50
o week In alimony. The full extent Of
the decision has not been received, the
telegram to Cloth announcing only that
the holding Of the lower court had been
reversed.
After paying the alimony for some
time Cloth stopped further remittance
to his wife after she shot him In
March of 1928. Hence there was a
sum of approximately $4,000 in back
payments due her, and it Is presumed
that now these back payments Will not
have to be made.
The appeal on the decision OF the
lower court was argued before the ST.
preme Court last January by Attorney
John S. Barbour of Fairfax.
The wife, Mrs Marjory Snyder Cloth,
was sentenced to jail for the shooting
Of her husband. but was pardoned by
the governor after less than years
incarceration.

OIL TANKS CALLED
THREAT TO BEAUTY
Commerce Chamber Official
Voices Opposition to Local
ton of Company's Plant.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, June 12.-As long
as oil companies are permitted to occupy
the most noticeable water front loca-
tons, both from the viewpoint of Airing
tonians and residents of the District OF
Columbia to say nothing of the Federal
bridges spanning the Potomac River,
Arlington County can never be the
Gateway to the South" as it has been
designated, 1t was stated today by Wal
ter u Varney, vice president and
chairman of the committee on laws and
legislation of the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce.
Varney's statement was made with
specific reference to the proposed erec-
ton just above the Key Bridge in Ross
lyn of large oil storage plant by the
Sun Oil Co. of Philadelphia.
Opposition Long Standing.
my opposition to oil companies has
been pronounced for years." Varney
said, for I believe them a menace to
the citizenry and to other business prop
erty, due principally to the fire haS-
ards"
Varney believes that the amounts
paid by the companies in taxes are in
significant as compared with the money
spent by the county in fire protection
and the upkeep of the roads over which
their tremendous trucks travel.
I'm my opinion" he declared, "there
is no place in Arlington county for large
oil storage tanks and that is particu-
larly true now that the Federal Gov
eminent Is preparing to spend millions
OF dollars on the waterfront from Mount
Vernon to Great Falls.
THE economic advantage to the re-
mainder of Arlington County by COM
pletion of the Governments plan of
parkways will be UNNECESSARILY greater
in increased values than If the water
front were lined with oil companies.
Perhaps the most picturesque part
OF Arlington County Is the palisades of
the Potomac, comparable to the pail
sades of the Hudson, and it seems a
great pity to have the natural beauty
of the county obliterated and the ter
rain mutilated by the installation of
row after row Of gasoline and oil stor-
age tanks.
Up to Citizens.
arlington County has been desig-
mated by the Civic Federation and the
Arlington County Chamber of Com
merce as The Gateway to the South,
and 1t behooves us Arlingtonians to do
all in our power and to exert every ef-
fort to maintain the gateway so that 1t
will be a true index of the culture and
refinement of the Southland"
The proposed plant, it was pointed
out by Varney, would lie directly in the
path of the George Washington Memo
rial Park and is so situated that II
would be impossible to go around It,
even If it were so desired by the Fed
eral Government
Even If the company granted the
right of way for the roadway itself, as
has been suggested, the entire contour
of the park itself would be obliterated
by the presence in its midst Of the
large tank farm, Varney thinks.

was equal to any possible effort; it was
a leading feature in his character"
After many experiments, requiring
much patience and perseverance, Able
de TEpee grated on his system of
methodized signs those impulsive geS-
lures which mutes seemed instinctively
to employ in order to express the wants
of their newly stimulated minds. He
observed that they fell into sort of
natural language of their own, which
was abundantly expressive in conveying
the meaning of one deaf mute to an
other deaf mute. He was himself a
learner, and as he learned so he taught,
laboriously, openly, benef1cently, con-
scientiously.
Served at Own Expense.
"The experimental education of the
two silent sisters of Troyes was sue
cessful beyond their masters most SAN
quine hopes. Thus encouraged, he re-
moved to Paris and there set up an
establishment for the deaf and dumb,
without aid, by his own individual ex-
ertion and at his own expense. He
possessed a private income OF 400
pounds a year, and three-quarters OF
this income he dedicated to the neces-
stiles Of his benevolent institution
But he soon found himself anticipating
his slender revenue in order to feed
and clothe his dependents.
THE sternest self-denial was needed
to keep the machinery of his establish
ment in action. as the able was soon
wearing very old clothes in order that
his beloved muteS might have new
ones, and allowing himself very bare
allowance for food that his children
might not hunger. Even when years
advanced heavily upon him and the
cold was strong, the brave old man
would sit and SILVER rather than in
| dulge himself in the luxury of a fire
las numbers increased, the able
was obliged to avail himself of the
| charitable assistance of the Due de
Penthievre and a few philanthropiC
characters but, with some small excep-
ton, it may be said in general terms
| that the Able de rEpees beneficent
establishment was his own, fed from
his own emptying purse and kept alive
with his own living zeal"
