Hoover formerly was president of the

he was deeply interested in ThOrleif

Norway the boy was winner of sew

Spurious Relics.
A New York Swede, name not given,
has been apprehended on the charge
of having sold a large number of
alleged mementoes of the Inflated An
dree north pole balloon expedition.
1t is said that the transactions have
netted him upward of 100000.
Said to be Oldest.
Oscar Albin Palm, Clever Spring,
Mimi, is said to be oldest living
1t sounds plausible enough, for the
venerable gentleman last week cele-
brated his 18th birthday anniversary;
he is described as comparatively hale
and hearty" President Hoover sent
Mr. Palm a telegram in which he
spoke of "the strength of Swedish

r. Andersen Monument.
A committee is at work soliciting
funds for the erection of a monu-
ment on the grave of Rev. R. Ander-
sen, Brooklyn, N. Y, who died about
a year ago. Mr. Andersen was for
46 years pastor of Our Savior's DAN
ish Lutheran church in Brooklyn, and
in his capacity of immigrant pastor
found the opportunity of advising and
guiding probably larger number of
Danish immigrants than any other
individual. Mr.. Andersen was the
author of several books, mostly of a
biographical and historical nature.
Subsidy Necessary.
Some time this month a delegation
of fourteen business and Industrial
leaders will arrive from Norway to
take part in the international mer-
chants congress in Washington, D..
C. While here the Norwegians will
be invited to discuss the problem of
reviving the wegian-American
Chamber of Commerce in New York
which was abolished a few years ago.
There is general feeling that Nor
wegian state subsidy will be required
if the chamber is to resume it's az
tivities for the purpose of increasing
trade between the United States and
Norway.
Belated Honor.
A good many years ago the late
DaniSh-American editor and poet, Ivar
Kirkegaard, suggested that monu-
ment be erected somewhere in honor
of Vitus Boring, the discOverer of the
Boring Strait separating Asia and the
nouncement is made that such mon
ument will be unveiled in Horsens,
Denmark-the native city of the eX-
plorer-some time this year in COM
memoration of his birth which took
place $50 years ago. Although Vitus
Bering was a Dane, he conducted his
famous expedition under the flag of
Russia, having obtained financial aid
from the imperial government of that
country.
"Hildy" Dead.
Hiding Johnson, Chicago reporter,
died last week; he was born in Sweden
40 years ago and attained journalistic
prominence as crime reporter on
the staff of the Chicago Herald-Ex-
aminer. A somewhat peculiar fame
came to him since his name and per-
sonality were used in the sensational
drama, ''The Front Page" now being
shown in the larger cities of this
country. Mr.. Johnson was popularity
and affectionately known as "Hildy."

LONDON BYWAY FAMED
FOR LITERARY NAMES
Brick Court, in Middle Temple, Re
called as Place Where Oliver
Goldsmith Lived.

LONDON (NANA).-Among the
lesser known byways of Fleet street Is
Brick Court, in the Middle Temple, a
tiny backwater which has literally as
sociations of worldwide interest.
The court was so named because in
Queen Elizabeth's reign the first brick
buildings In the temple were erected
there. A century afterward they were
badly damaged by a fire, which the
resident lawyers strove to extinguish by
drenching 1t with beer from the temple
tutteries. This was not, however, be-
cause they favored prohibition, but be-
cause the Thames was frozen over and
they could not get any water.
Oliver Goldsmith lived at No. 2 Brick
Court and wrote some of his most ia.
nous works there. Among his visitors
were DR.. johnson. Reynolds and other
notable figures Of his time, including
Jessamy Bride, the young girl whose
friendship and whose family gave Gold
smith many happy hours in his later
years.
It was here, on the day of his funeral.
that the stairways were crowded with
the outcastS he had befriended.

COMMANDER TELLS
OF old |RONS|DES
Speaking on Radio, He Likens
Old Frigate to Liberty Bell
as Sacred Symbol.

Old ronsides, the United States
frisate Of the War Of 1912, which now
lies in Potomac waters, a restored and
recommissioned relic of another CEN
fury, was likened to PHILADELPHIA s
Liberty Bell and to the stars and
Stripes as q sacred symbol to be
cherished and revered by the people OF
this Nation last night by Lieut.. Comdr
Louis j. CULVER, its commander.
In radio talk broadcast by Station
WMAL, Lieut.. Comdr. CULVER, speaking
as guest Of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, reviewed the history Of the
famous old Constitution, touching upon
the significance Of its present tour,
made possible by the generosity Of the
school children Of the country.
First Call Here In 119 Years.
The Constitution, which is at the
washington Navy Yard for an extended
visit for the first time since the vessel
sailed the Potomac lie years ago. has
called at 40 ports since she was recon-
missioned by the Navy July /. the COM
mander said, and more than $50. 500
people have viewed Old Ironsides on
these visits.
1.-The success of the task Of restoring
the Constitution" Lieut.. Comdr. Guilt
yer told his radio listeners, depended
largely upon the procurement Of suit
able woods. In the 130-odd years since
the vessel was constructed the forests
have been stripped almost bare OF the
kinds of trees that furnished the tim
beers, knees, planking and spars that
went into the Constitution at the time

A quantity of live oak, absolutely
necessary If the frigate was to be re-
stored to her original condition, was
found by extreme good luck immersed

according to CULVER.
THE Constitution" the commander
pointed out, is almost as old as this
Nation of ours, symboliZing by its 1874
years Of continuous existence the naval
history of the United states. No ship
that sails the seas is as old as this. and
none, old or new, has so glorious a his
tory. The percentage OF the original
craft that still remains Is OF no i'm

has there been q time when she was
