LECAL|zING OF BEER TO BRING
 METCALF'FORT HI
One of Least Known Sen
 ators May Soon Be in Spotlight
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 13.- There will be lot written and heard about one of the probably least known Senators this winter when a certain committee gets down to consideration of the pro- posal to legalize per cent beer.
 His name is Jesse Houghton Met calf of Rhode Island, appointed Chairman of the sub committee on manufactures to study this par ticular bill of the group of prohi- bition bills introduced by Bingham of Connecticut.
 Metcalf, just past his Fist birth day, is known to Senate observers as the man who sits on next to the last row on the Republican side of the chamber between the tall, White-haired and stately Bingham on his right and the robust, bald Frazier of North Dakota on his left.
 They know further that he rarely makes speech, seldom engages in debate. is quiet and unassuming in everything, presides with dignity over the Committee on Education and Labor.
 Philanthropist
 The swank of social Washington know him as the Senator who often arrives in Washington aboard his palatial yacht, Felicia" drops anchor in the Tidal Basin and en- tertains select groups on short cruises down the Potomac.
 None but his closest friends per- haps know of his expensive private philanthropies which have endear- ed him to the hearts of people both here and abroad.
 By chance we heard of one of his unknown" projects the other day It concerns a French village and the days before he became United States Senator. Our informant says that not 100 persons in the country know anything about it.
 During the war, Metcalf virtually supported hospital in France After the Armistice he and Mrs Metcalf went abroad to visit the war scene. During their travels they visited village where many of the residents had been patients at Metcalf's hospital.
 Rehabilitates Village
 Immediately the village wanted to give him a banquet. Metcalf, ob- serving the ruins, said no-that he wanted to banquet the village.
 He did more. At his expense en- gineers were brought from Paris and put to work repairing the viii lage's water system. He practically rehabilitated the place.
 Before leaving he gave a consid- erable sum of money to the village authorities with instructions that they build a fountain in memory of inhabitants who died in the war Some time after he heard iron

 He came here credited with . wide knowledge of both Spanish and American law. His post makes him ex-officio Secretary of Public Instruction.

 Our civilization has been de- tended here and there by the genius of some men, the spirit of sacrifice of some peoples, but the hour has come for united, collective effort to set the world permanently to rights"
 This solidarity, he feels, found it's first big expression in the Hoo yer moratorium and the years armament truce which he induced the League of Nations to adopt Also in those two measures Grandi has found evidence that Italy and
