WOMEN PROTEST
SITE SELECTED FOR
ACCOUNTING OFFICE
National Party Declares 1t
Was Assured Headquarters
Would Not Be Taken.
ARCHITECT OF CAPITOL
WILL STUDY PROBLEM
Block East of Present House Office
Building Suggested as Al.
tentative Location.

Members of the National Woman's
Party were present in large numbers
today at the hearing before the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds on the Elliott bill, authorizing
acquisition of the site east of the Senate
Office Building, between First and Sec
ond, B and c streets northeast, for q
General Accounting ONCE Building.
The National Woman's Party spokes-
men vigorously opposed the Govern
ment'S taking over this site because it
includes their own national headquar-
tiers, at B and Second streets northeast.
They reminded the committee that
this was one of the Oldest buildings on
a historic site and for which they had
paid approximately $4,000.
Other Sites Turned Down.
1t is the only place in Washington,
where. during the War of 1912, there
was armed resistance to the British.
They suggested several other sites,
which Chairman Elliott, sponsoring the
bill, said were not available.
Miss Maude Younger reviewed the
history of the Women'S Party being
forced to give up its headquarters in
the old brick Capitol to make way for
the Supreme Court Building and said
that at that time they had been advised
by the Commission of Fine Arts, that
they would not be disturbed in the new
location, at Second and B streets.
Other real estate owners in the same
square also appeared in objecting to
being forced to surrender their homes
to the Government.
McCarI Emphasizes Need.
Controller General McCarl empha-
sized that it was necessary to establish
a new home for the general accounting
Office and that this should be done as
soon as possible.
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant, Sd, in charge
of public buildings and public parks,
testified that the assessed valuation on
the proposed site for the general &C.
counting Office is 1908, 900.
AS result of the protest made at
the hearing, David Lynn, architect Of
the Capitol, was instructed to make a
survey of proposed substitute site east
of the present House ONCE Building,
between First and Second, B and c
streets southeast The assessed value
of this proposed substitute site Is $780,
978.
No date was set for another meeting
to consider the site for the General
Accounting Once, but Chairman Elliott
intends to call a meeting as soon as
Lynn has prepared his report.

URGES NAME FOR B STREET.

Representative Henry Allen Cooper,
Republican, of Wisconsin, veteran legis-
latOr who came to Congress SO years
ago, urged In the House today that B
street from the Capitol to Lincoln Me-
mortal, which is being widened and
Strengthened, should be renamed Con-
stitution avenue.
Miss e. S. Kite, director Of the In
stitute France, of Washington, an au-
thor of "LEnfants Washington" OPP
posed Mr.. Cooper's suggestion and
recommended instead that B street be
named Memorial avenue.
Evan H. Tucker president Of the
Northeast Washington Citizens ASSo-
citation, also opposed the name Con-
stitution avenue and favored Memorial
avenue. No action was taken.

WHITE SWANS REACH
CANADIAN SANCTUARY

Kingsville, Ont, April II.
(UP)-Two thousand white
whistling swans, one of the
rarest wild bird species in
North America have arrived
at the Jack Miner Bird-sanc-
tuary here.
The great white birds have
been soaring in from the
south and settling on the lake
shore beach at the bird sane
tuary.
In 1916 the white swan
was practically extinct in
North America, and only the
efforts of Miner, aided by the
Canadian government saved
them from determination.
Jack Miner, the bird phi
losopher," his three sons and
provincial" and dominion
game-wardens patroled the
beach to prevent any moles-
tation of the swans.

CHILD HEALTH

Child health is to be given
special attention as a result
of the proclamation of Presi-
dent Hoover setting aside
May Day as national Child
health day.
Hoover, in summing up the
situation in his proclamation,
said:
Whereas, the responsible
ty for the we'll being Of child
.ren is a community response
bility as we'll as an individual
duty.
"Now, therefore, l, Her
bert Hoover, President of the
United States of America, do
call upon the governors of
states to declare to their
people that May Day should
be used wherever possible as
Chlld Health Day, Tor the
consideration of all public
and private measures by
which the health of our
children may be conserved
and advanced :"
The future of the nation
depends largely upon the
sturdiness of our children.
They will carry on the work
where the present generation
leaves off. They should not
be hampered by ill-health
which will so limit their
capacity for constructive
lives.

view Of tn spring lettuce sea
son was prepared the first OF
the week.
"This was the shortest sea-
son on record" the summary
states. Total Arizona ship
ments did not reach 100 cars
a dav until March 20, when
.116 cars were shipped. The
daily loadings advanced rap
idly to 266 cars on March 25;
fell to 147 on March %, then
increased to 1876 on the last
day of the month. Shipm "nts
had dropped to IT cars by
April 8 and 18 cars on Aprll

Arizona shipments were as
follows: Salt River valley.
3,116 cars; Buckeye, 142

TEACHING PERSONALITY

1t has been fun OF late
years to watch new and cur
ious courses crop out in the
curricula of our progressive
schools of higher learning.
The latest and one of the
most interesting to smite the
public attention is a course
on personality develop
ment" offered by a New
York University.
Now there is something
worth going to school for In
stressing the Importance of
the course the catalogue says
that success is due 85 per
cent Ito those human quail
ties which have to do with
successfully dealing with
people" "-and it is true. Per
sonality may be one of the
finest, most valuable assets
a man can have-but can it
be taught
Our most authoritative de-
finer of words give this de-
finition of personality: "That
which constitutes distinction
of person; distinctive per
sonal character; individual
/ ity."
All members of a college
class are usually given the
same instruction, so it must
follow, paradoxically. that
all the students in this course
will acquire the same "dis-
tinction of person, the same
Individuality" Is there any
thing our colleges cannot
teach?
Luck is a desirable factor
in life. Why not a course ir

WARNING IS GIVEN
ON FLYING KITES

A coincidence, says w. W.
Boettcher, Manager, of the
Wisconsin Valley Electric
company's MinocQua Divi-
sion, is the issuance of the
annual warning bulletin
pointing out the dangers of
spring kite flying, and the
breaking of a story in the
newspapers that same day
about the Rhinelander boy,
who flew the kite with a tin
sci cord putting out many
Rhinelander lights and en-
dangering his life.
Harold l. Geisse vice pres
ident and general manager
of Wisconsin Vally Electric
company, says in his bulle-
tin: 'It is not our desire to
unduly alarm children nor
their parents over the dan
gers of kite flying. How
ever, it is our civic duty and
our desire to cooperate al
ways in every possible man
ner to assist in the preven-
ton of accidents. 1t is for
this reason that we respect
fully call to the attention of
parents that it is dangerous
for kites to be flown near
electric or telephone lines
and especially so when metal
wire or strips are used in
building kites and when any
kind of wire is used for kite
string or tails of kites. 1t is
also dangerous for kites to
be flown in a thunder storm
for a wet cord or wire may
act as a conductor for the
electric generated by such a
storm. 1t is very dangerous
for children to attempt re-
moval Of a kite tangled in
electric transmission lines
and particularly for them to
climb poles after their kites
"It is the policy of our or
ganization to guard against
accidents of all kinds. How
ever, it is necessary that we
ask the cooperation of par
ents and teachers in inform
ing children of the hazards
incurred through careless
ness or lack of information
so far as the dangers of kite
flying are concerned. .

why LEAVES CHANGE COLOR

It is popularity supposed
that frost causes the leaves
to turn in theautumn That
such is not the case is proved
by the fact that some of the
most brilliant red and yellow
tints precede the first frost.
Chemical processes in the
tree are responsible for the
change in color. During the
spring and summer number
less tiny cells in the leaves
serve as factories for the
manufacture of plant food.
The chief agent in this pro-
cess is chlOrophyll, which
gives the leaves their green
color. Sunlight promotes the
production of chlorophyll,
and therefore the leaves on
trees in the open are usually
darker green in color than
those on less exposed trees
in a forest. Plant food is
MANUFACTURED by combining
carbon from the carbonic
acid gas taken from the air
by the leaves with hydrogen,
oxygen and various minerals
taken from the water alb
sorbed by the roots.-The

HER POEM OFTEN
REJECTED PRINTED
FIRST IN NEWSPAPER

San Diego, Calf. The
tolling of curfew bells rang
out over air lanes of the ma
ton as a small woman of
nearly eighty-one years sat
by the radio here recently
and listened to the story of
"Curfew Must Not Ring To-
Night" broadcast from New
York. She is Rose Hartwick
Thorpe, who wrote the i'm
mortal poem nearly sixty
four years ago.
1t is not the fact that her
own sweetheart was in dan
ger that caused Rose to write
the poem when she was Just
seventeen years old, as many
persons believe today. She
was too busy with her stud
les to think of love at that
age.
She read the story in a
magazine published two
years before. 1t was the
fact that at the ringing of the
curfew Basil Underwood
must die" that impressed the
then Rose Hartwick. So she
sat down with her slate in
her lap and penned the poem
that has been the test of elo-
cution in schools for forty
years.
For three years the poem
lay in Roses dresser drawer.
At the time she was writing
verse for the Detroit Adver-
tiser. One day when she was
ill and unable to contribute
her regular stint she sent
"Curfew" to the editors.
After publication it was seiz-
ed upon by editors through
out the country and reprint
ed.
Rose did not receive a cent
for the reprinting, but later
she obtained money through
publication of her complete
works.-Publishers Auxili-

before officers began check
ing on Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben
Magel, brother-in-law and
sister of Earl Nelson. Arous-
ed by actions of the couple,
officers began trailing them
from Mesa to Phoenix and
from Phoenix to Mesa and
were soon convinced that
their men were being secret

capture came after officers
had intercepted a messenger
