 SURVEILLANCE OF TROOPS

BERLIN, Aug, 16, The outcome of President Paul von Hindenburg's action in rejecting demands of A. Hitler for the chancellorship is still awaited with considerable concern.
 The possibility of grave develop ments is forecast. Pres. linden burg has been anxious to incorpor- ate the fascist into a non-party cabinet, but Hitler's refusal to ac- cept less than the chancellorship, which the President firmly refused, has made it almost certain that the fascist party cannot come in full control of the government.
 The President is quoted as say ing he would use the troops ruth lesSly against the Hitlerites should they act legally.

PARIS, Aug. 17.-"Fill-in Frocks' -forecasting Fall fashions and de- signed to stop the gaps in sag ging summer wardrobes-have made their debut in the style world.
 They are designed for the wo- man who wants a fresh frock for August which can be worn throughout the Fall and utility is tkeir watchword. . Their bright lines predict a gayer fashion color card this Fall, while their slightly longer skirts, accented sleeves and draped bod ices hint at silhouette changes yet to be confirmed by Fall style shows
 A dull silk crepe, pebbly weave or plain, made in a dark color, and trimmed with bright touch is the most practical model shown, since 1t may be worn both morn ing end afternoon.
 A t-ock of chocolate brown mar ocain, designed with bell sleeves and rather high round collar, has touch of brilliant orange crepe in the lining of both collar and sleeves.
 A black satin with a sun-ray tucked bodice, has wide sleeves faced with cinnamon rose satin, and a high necked purple crepe is finished with scarf of lapis lazuI, blue.

beneath the feet Of an enemy. Mr.. Buckley

the older he Ii, and the Older the clip

reading. for there You are likely to find
what T. H. Bayiy longed for when he
wrote that beautiful song "Lmg Long Ago.
which went like this:
Tell me the tales that 10 me were 50 dear.
Long, long seo long asDs
sing me the songs delighted to hear,
Long long sgo, long ago;
Now. you are come, all my grief is removed.
Let me forget that 80 long you have roved.
Let me believe THAT you love you loved,
Long long ago, long ago"
The other evening the writer heard two
ladies sing "Grandfather,s Clock" and YOU
cannot imagine how 1t took him back half .
century to the time when this old song was
popular. and when even the little tots In the
street were singing
"Ninety years, without slumberinG
Tick, took tick, took,
His life's seconds numbering,
Tick, tock tick, took;
It stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died"
AS the old songs appeal to us now so do the

OF course, you must know-for this informa-

But what the writer was really looking for in
this scrapbeok, and in the record books of the
association, was account of the first ban

it recorded in the minutes Of the association,
with a write-up, too, in the press of what
transpired.

POLICE SEEKING
PYROMAN|AC

Discovery of gasoline-Soaked
coffee bags yesterday by Sergt.
Guy L. Jones, of the Silver Spring
substation of the Montgomery
county police, in the ruins of the
fire which on Saturday night
caused $4,000 damage to the
building of the Diplomat Coffee
Company, on Georgia Avenue,
just past the District line, has
spurred the county police into a
hunt for persons whom they be-
lieve maliciously set fire to the
structure.
Other evidence that the fire
was of incendiary origin was
found by Sergeant Jones, who
discovered a five-gallon can,
which evidently had been used
to carry the gasoline into the
building. The fire was checked
before it reached the second floor
storeroom, where the gasoline
saturated bags were found.
The interior of the building,
which is used for the roasting of
coffee and the storage of food
products. was almost entirely de-
Stroyed by fire.
