Other great work which the Fraternal order of Eagles is doing, such as the securing of Old Age Pension laws, etc., was mentioned. Nothing was overlooked Apparently, by Rev.

with them, he emphasized the need of accumulating the reserve oil'' of further preparation, whether in college or the sc chool of hard knocks. "It is noteworthy" he said, that in America, with three times the population of England, we have 100 times as many colleges; that many more facilities for making the young people prepared"
 The reserve oil' of good health was mentioned by Rev. Bauer as an extremely essential division of the necessary preparedness on the part of the graduates. One cannot en- joy life if physically unfit" he said, "and without some reserve oil there, they will be unable to stand up under some of the extra heavy loads that may be thrust upon them. Cleanliness and purity must be cultivated and one must not sin against the body" '
 "The ability to think is of great importance, continued Rev. Bauer. Only by deep thought can some of the great problems of today be solved. Then there is the reserve oil of social mindedness. We must learn how to get along with people, how to fit in. And last, the reserve oil of religious character must be developed. Education is not com plete without character. Spiritual ideas are necessary to balance the practical things of life"
 Rev. Bauer closed with the ad- monition: Love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and mind. Love thy neighbor and thyself.p

 This information staggered us. Grainger's hatred of Parados had been stressed less than anyones else.
 let me get this straight" Sam uels muttered. We find the petal. It involves Annersley. Then you find the second rose-that lets him out. Now you tell me that Grain- ger dropped the rose into the bas- ket just after we found the petal That makes it look as if Grain- ger knew Annersley did not kill Parados, and wanted to do him a good turn, or that he knew An nersley did kill Parados and was trying to switch us off his trail. And that leaves Annersley about where he was!"

CROSBY

The first protest against the
naming of Mai. Gen. Herbert B.
Crosby, chief of cavalry, U. S. A..
was sent to the President today
by E. j. Murphy, president OF
the Board of Trade.
This organization most respect
fully urges that the custom OF
appointing two civilians who are
bona fide citizens to the office
of Commissioner be adhered to-"
he wrote the President.
Murphy, speaking in behalf Of
the biggest trade organization
in the city, said that the $4,000
voteleSS citizens Of the District OF
Columbia. who raise approx
mately $30,000,000 a year in
taxes, should be granted the
privilege of providing men to fill
the civilian commissionerships.
The protest of Murphy, on be-
half of the Board of Trade. was
one of the many protests which
are in the making. It is Under
stood that several citizens asso-
Citations, fearing to lose the last
vestige of local government, are
planning to take action asking
the President to appoint local
men to the places to be vacated
by Proctor l.. Dougherty and Sid
ney s. Taliaferro.
Herbert D. Brown, chief of the
Bureau of Efficiency, is slated to
be the other Commissioner. Both
General Crosby and Mr.. Browne,
is is understood at the White
House, have been offered the
places and have accepted. They
will not be named, however, for
about a month at least, as the
President desires to have the
present incumbents finish with
the estimates before Congress.
In the event that General
Crosby is named it will mean that
the Board of Commissioners will
be comprised of two Army Off.
GERS and one civilian. In view Of
the fact that all decisions of the
board are made on a majority
vote. civic leaders believe that the
