Errors Are Made
In Two Important
Public Statements
Hoover Letter Addressed
to Wrong Man-Dr. >
Butler in Mix-up.

Oflcial Washington found amusement
Yesterday in the errors clerical or other
wise. which crept into the two important
public statements on Government issues
which were given out Sunday and
printed on the front page OF all morn
ing newspapers.
President Hoover. who utilized a let
ter to the American Society of Civil
Engineers to state his thorough disa-
greement with proposals to finance a
public works program by Federal bonds.
addressed his letter to Richard S. Par
ker as president Of the society He should
have written to Herbert S. Crocker, who
really is the president. Besieged by COM
plants that Mr.. Parker" could not be
located. the White House admitted the
error and attributed it to stenographic
mistake. The letter was presumably
mailed to Mr.. Parker" and possibly
it is still unopened.
DR.. Butler Makes Error.
In writing to the leaders of Congress
in an appeal for balanced budget and
an end Of partisanship. committee
which included DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler, head of one of the greatest
universities and an authority on pub
lie affairs. made the error of addressing
Representative Charles R. Crisp as the
Ma jority Leader, House Of Representa-
tives"
Although the signers Of the appeal
included Alfred E. Smith, titular leader
of the Democratic party. and several
Democratic Governors. they did not
correct the letter by sending it to Rep
resentative Henry T. Rainey, who actu-
ally is the Democratic floor leader of
the House Mr.. Crisp Is acting chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Considerable Chatting in Senate.
President Hoover's enormously ad-
dressed letter was the subject of con-
ing out that the President had more
secretaries than former occupants of
the White House. Senator Pat Harri-
son, Democrat, of Mississippi, observed
! that lit is strange there is not more
efficiency there"
1T would seem that the President,
heing great engineer. ought to keep
better tab on who is the president OF
an organization like the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers" he added.
DR.. Butler said last night in New
York that the addressing OF the letter
to Representative Charles r. Crisp in
stead of to Henry T. Rainey was a
mistake that wasn't noticed until the
letter was gone" and that then nothing
could be done about it.
1T didn't make much difference
anyway" Dr. Butler said, because Mr..
Crisp is chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee"
Joseph w. Byrns of Tennessee, is
chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, of which Charles r. Crisp
is not a member.

about searching the japanese homes
Williams said:
That's rather far-fetched"
But I'm considering this from a
military standpoint" Britten replied
The Panama Canal once was con-

outpost. I now think the Hawaiian

A STEP TOWARD PROSPERITY

In q recent address, John. Hays
Hammond urged the rehabilita
ton of silver as a step toward
the restoration of prosperity.
He pointed out that one of the
major causes of world depression
has been the appreciation of
gold ia gold standard countries,
and depreciation of silver in
silver standard countries. The
drop Of silver from 60 to go cents
an ounce has reduced by half the
wealth and purchasing power of
millions of people. Silver has
long been the poor mans gold -
and ia what Mr.. Hammond calls
the backward" countries, silver
alone is accepted as a medium of
exchange.
There is not gold enough to
keep the commerce of the world
ia motion. 10 addition, the sup
ply Of gold from the Rand, which
has supplied half the worlds
needs for three decades, is ex
pected to decline materially.
No potentially important gold
fields are known to exist. A
practical solution is rehabilita
ton of silver so that it may take
it's old place in the machinery OF
finance and commerce.

THE DANGEROUS DRIVING AGE

A serious responsibility rests
on parents whose sons and dau.
Rhters, under the age of 90,
drive automobiles. II is their
duty to impress upon budding
men and women the vital neces
sity for care. courtesy and ODE
dience to ira fic rules at all times.
The most dangerous age for
drivers is under 20, according to
|sE. E Robinson, secretary of the
National Bureau of Casualty &
Surity Underwriters. Out of
every thousand drivers under
the age of 20 last year, 80 we're
involved in accidents. From 20
to 20, SO drivers out of one thou
sand had mishaps; there were 81
in the ages of 80 to 80; twenty in
the ages of 40 to 49 and 18 out of
one thousand ia the ages of so
and over.
Automobile public libility and
property damage insurance rates
are wholly under the control of
their policyho!ders. Stock casu
ality companies have established
by statistics that the record for
drivers under 20 last year was
SO per cent worse than the aver
age; from 20 to 20 it was 20 per
cent worse; from 80 to 80, 3 6
per cent better than the average;
from 40 to 49 it was 20 per cent
better and in The ages of 50 and
over, 36 per cent better than the
average. In the ages under 80,
accident experience was 64 Z per
cent worse than among drivers
beyond that age.
There we're 26,4lO drivers un
der the age of 18 involved in &C

was for $198, ,487. 1t is the big
gest check for taxes annually
