MRS. PICKETT RITES
HELD HERE TODAY
Bishop Mcdowell Comes
From Delaware to Con-
duct Services.

The funeral Of Mrs. La Sale Corbell
Pickett, widow of Gen. George E.
Pickett, whose charge at Gettysburg
represents high light of Confederate
heroism, was to be held at Gawler's
chapel, 1854 Pennsylvania avenue, this
afternoon at 4:45 o'clock.
In accordance with request made of
him by Mrs. Pickett some time before
her death, Bishop william F. Mcdowell
of the Methodist Episcopal Church was
to oh1ciate at the services. He was
hurrying here from Delaware this morn
ing and was expected to arrive some
time before the time of the funeral
Mrs. Pickett'S body is to be cremated
it was made known today. It had not
been decided where the ashes are to be
finally placed at some later date.
1t was explained that due to the fact
that nearly all of those whom Mrs.
Pickett had requested to act as pail
bearers preceded her in death no list
of honorary pallbearers was prepared.
The various Confederate Veterans or
CARNATIONS in the District were to be
represented at the funeral.
Mrs. Pickett, who was SO years old,
died in private hospital at Rockville,
Md, Sunday. Both she and her famous
husband we're natives of Virginia and
were beloved throughout the Southland.
She had written many books, number
of which are among the best known
"reminiscences of the South.
She had been active in many organi-
cations, was honorary president of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy;
was former president of the League Of
In he
Women's National Press Association
and was a founder of the Arts Club of
Washington, in which city she resided
for half q century.

MELONS HONORED
FOR AID TO SCIENCE
Vision of Two Noted Brothers
Reflected Throughout Indus
try and in Every Home.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClhbed EIeSS.
NEW YORK, March 24.-Science
honored Andrew w. Melons seventy
sixth birthday anniversary today with
a chemistry medal which reveals a
scarcely known side Of his life
The award, jointly to him and his
even more-silent brother, Richard B.
Mellon, was announced last night by
the American Institute of Chemists.
Richard B. was 70 last Thursday.
Neither of them scientists, the Mel
Ions are honored as pioneer patrons of
science credited with gifts of many
millions Of dollars given so quietly that
even now the totals are a secret. It all
began about 20 years ago.
Results In Every Household.
The practical results appear today
in every American household in articles
of daily use, quite literally created with
aid of the Mellon gifts They have
sponsored health research with an al
most ironclad condition that their
identity as hackers be withheld from
publication.
Mainly these researches have been
done at Mellon Institute of Industrial
Research, which they established at
the University of Pittsburgh In 1913.
Of science are furnished a place to
make discoveries. The MELONS do not
usually pay for these researches, nor
receive any credit for them, although
they furnish an important part of the
scientific machinery.
West Point Of Industry"
''The Mellon Institute" says DR.. Fred
erick z. Breithut, president of the tnsti-
tute OF chemists, "ts the West Point OF
our industrial system, assisting the
United States to attain and hold its
foremost position among the industrial
nations of the world. Its activities have
assisted in bringing to the United States
the largest chemical industry in the
world
In converting scientific knowledge
into possession Of industry and Of the
Nation, men Of large means and grand
vision are needed to bridge the gap be-
tween monumental scientific specula-
ton and commercial reality.
Andrew w. Mellon and Richard B.
Mellon have proved themselves to be
this sturdy bridge.
What they have done has become
more or less part of our industrial
fabric and chronological organization,
but it required great vision and courage
to see this 20 years ago when research
was still merely an unwelcome step
child in most Of our industries"
What the Pittsburgh institution has
done for industry, DR.. Breithut said, will
now be done for public health by the
National Institute of Health at Wash
ington to which Andrew w. Mellon is
devoting his interest.

CREPE ON CATAFAL QUE
SHIPPED FOR SOUVENIR
Burial Carriage of Presidents Is
Robbed of Piece of Cloth
in Capital Crypt

Discovery today that piece of cloth
had been cut or torn from the black
crepe covering the historic catafalque
kept In the basement of the Capitol for
funerals Of distinguished Americans, led
officials at the Capitol to believe it may
have been clipped of by souvenir
hunters.
The catafalque has been used in the
State funerals for Presidents, and also
was used for the burial of the Unknown
Soldier. It also was used during the
funeral Of the late Chief Justice Taft.
1t is kept in a crypt under the center
of the Capitol Building, which was
originally intended to be used as tomb
for George Washington, but the will of
the first President contained a request
that his remains be buried at Mount
Vernon.
David Lynn, architect Of the Cant
toll, said that q new covering Is p.Ack-a
on the catafalque each time it is used.

as alternate to race Epinard and others
of equally famous breed.
On the Rokeby estate is a large
stone country house and ample stables
The house, formerly in a decayed state
has been rernodeled and a number of
rooms added to it. 1t is one of the old
country estates in Fauquier County,
having survived the Civil War, and was
at one time owned by the Loughborough
family, prominently known in Virginia
and Maryland.
House Is Famous.
Admiral Grayson has not occupied
the house, as it has heretofore been in
tact with the former Oxnard estate. It
has been famous through the Virginia
region as an assembly place for hunters
during the season, as well as for the
breed of its horses.
The place was purchased by Secre-
tary Mellon as a country estate for his
son Paul. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce, the
latter formerly Miss Ailsa Mellon, are
expected to be frequent visitors there
during the various seasons. Their
mother Mrs Mellon, who formerly was
Mrs. Nora Mary Lee and was the wife
of Secretary Mellon prior to 1912, is
now a resident of HertfordShire, Eng
land. Recently she reaSsumed Mr..
Melons name. She, also, VIII spend
much Of her time at Rokeby.
The deed to the property had not
been recorded at Warrenton, the county
seat, early today, and the consideration
for the property was not made known.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.
CCOMPANTED bY Z

A CCOMPANIED by six young So
~ ciety women of Copenhagen,
"A pupils in her school in the Dan
4 4 ish capital, Nine Agnete 'Ber-
tram has arrived in Washing
ington where she has demonstrated at
the 7. w. c. A. and at George Wash
ington University new ideas in gym
nastic training for women, which have
gained for her reputation as one OF
the foremost women in gymnastic train
ing in Denmark.
Nine. Bertram brought about radical
changes in gymnastics for women,
when she completely eliminated from
her classes the militaristic system of
training which had been popular in
the Scandinavian countries for approx
mately 200 years.
Different Training for Women.
my theory is that women should
have entirely different gyInnaStic train
ing from men," said Nine. Bertram.
THE training should reflect the mind
and temperament Of women, and it
must take account of the great ana
tonic differences between men and
women. The movement should be less
rigid than those in gymnastics for men.
The movements are also continual and
are given not only to create strength
but to create coordination of the move
ments of the body to make it more mt
for the ordinary course Of daily living"
Nine. Bertram's pupils have demon
strated their teachers theories in sew
eral groups of exercises, in many Of
which they are kept in constant motion
for a period Of over 80 minutes, without
once breaking the rhythmical flow Of
movement with the dead pauses. which
characterize the ordinary exercises Of
gymnastic classes.
Nine. Bertram agrees with many lead
ing physicians that swimming is by far
the best physical sport for women.
Among the women Of Denmark swim
ming and tennis are the two most popu-
lar sports, she said.
Training Compulsory in Schools.
IT find that you have more sports
and games for women and girls than we
have in Denmark" she continued. "On
the other hand, we have more gymnas-
tic training than you do. GymnaStic
training Is compulsory in all Danish
schools"
Nine. Bertram's school in Copenhagen
numbers over 1000 feminine students
ranging in ages of from years to mid
die age. Though radically different
from the methods taught in her country
until a decade ago, Nine. Bertran's
theories have been enthusiastically
adopted by many Of the leading gym
nastic leaders Of Europe, particularly In
her own country and in England, where
she has lectured and given exhibitions.
Invited to the United States by the
American Physical Education Associa-
ton to attend its annual convention in
Detroit April l. Nine. Bertram has been
asked to lecture and demonstrate her
theories before a number Of the univer-
stiles and Y. w. G. AS of the country.
Her visit to Washington was made
through an invitation Of the Y w. c. A.,
where her pupils demonstrated a group
of exercises before a large audience
Saturday evening.

o'clock this morning in an at
~ tempt to establish junior sped
record between the National
Capital and New York, Bob" Buck
17-year old holder of the junior trans
continental record, announced that he
is having built for future record at
tempts a special plane which is ex-
pected to have a top sped in excess Of
800 miles per hour.
In his new plane he hopes, before
his eighteenth birthday, to smash all
transcontinental sped records. includ-
ing the recent record Of IL hours and IS
minutes established by Capt. Frank NJ.
Hawks.
VIII Be Ready in May.
Buck said that the plane will be COM
pleted before the end of May, but that
flight testing and the working out
bugs" during the tests probably would
require most of the Summer He does
not expect to have it ready for record
attempts before next August. He ex-
poets to compete for tie new Anderson
trophy for Junior pilots next October,
in addition to ttsmpting to shatter all
speed records, senior or junior, between
the coasts.
The plane will be powered with an
inverted fluid-cooled engine, delivering
a maximum of about TOO horsepower
with a supercharger, he said. It viii
be built in accordance with racing plane
designs and will be 1ow-wing mono
plane with conventional landing gear
and controls. He said he was pledged
not to give out the names Of the build
ers or place of construction.
Seeks Record Today.
On his New York flight today young
Buck expected to climb to about 10000
feet to take advantage of 40-mile-an-
hour tail wind reported at that altitude
His present plane has a cruising speed
of 100 miles per hour. The present
junior record between New York and
which Buck now holds, is
103 minutes. He hoped to lower this
time materially.
Buck was II years old last January.
He has been flying for the past two
years. In addition TO the junior trans
continental record he also holds the
Junior record between New York and
Havana.

Secretary Of Treasury Avoids Amy Kind
of Celebration.

of Celebration.
BY the Associated Press. .-
Secretary Mellon passed the seventy
sixth anniversary of his birth today at
the desk where he has worked for the
past 10 years.
Avoiding anything akin to celebra-
ton, the Secretary came to his office
before 10 o'clock to spend the day at
his usual tasks. The only indications Of
the anniversary were the expressions
from friends and Treasury employees
who came in contact with him. These
paid due respect to his known desire to
