WHO WAS
WHO?
By Louise NJ. Comstock
BROTHER JONATHAN

DACK In Revolutionary days it
ID was Brother Jonathan, not
Uncle Sam, who stood for all the
faults and virtues Of this country.
Even George Washington, when con-
fronted by a knotty problem of
state, was wont to say I'VE will
have to see what Brother Jonathan
has to say about it."
Brother Jonathan was Jonathan
Trumbull, governor of Connecticut
at the time of the Revolution, one
of our first great patriots. He was
also ancestor of an illustrious line
of Trumbulls, including John, artist,
who in 1856 painted the huge his
torical pictures in the rotunda of
the Capitol, and the modern gov
ernor of Connecticut, John II. Trum-
bull.
OF all colonial governors in office
at the outbreak Of the Revolution,
Jonathan Trumbull alone was loyal
to the colonies. Throughout the du-
ration of the war his store at Eeb-
anon, Conn, was a sort of "war Of
fee" where supplies were collected
and shipped off to the armies, usu-
ally under his own supervision /;
and in his simple home he sheltered
Washington and Franklin, Jeffer-
son. Adams. LAFAYETTE. II was he
who financed Ethan Aliens success
full expedition against Fort Tic0n-
deroga. When courage Jagged he
made speeches whic.- stirred up pa
triotism and won volunteers, and
his state furnished more troops than
any other except Massachusetts.
Jonathan Trumbull died in 1855. at
the age of seventy-five.

perfection her beautiful face. She
carries Gala lilies, for they are ex-
tremely popular for bridal bouquets.
Her slippers are satin sandals.
For those whose fancy turns to
diaphanous effects rather than
stately satin an outstanding French
creator of modes advocates the al
lance of lace with dainty chiffon.
When the lace is a filmy cobwebby
sort, the effect is indescrlbably
lovely and youthful.
True to the high Importance of
cotton In the mode, fashion is array
ing the brides attendants in beguil-
ing organdies, especially the EN-.
broidered types, or If not organdie
then most likely in dotted or plain
net of exquisite quality. The very
latest move is TO top the brides
maids frocks with cunning little
jackets in bright shades, for white
with touches of high color in the ac-
cessories is very smart for the we'd
ding cortege.
Another item of interest is the I'M
portant wider-shoulder feeling which
is expressed in gowns for the brides
maids, either via capelets or epaulet
sllhouettes which cap fair shoulders.
The gown worn by the matron of
honor as shown in the picture fea-
lures these new Zines" the wee
capelet of crisp emboidered organ
die standing out wide-shouldered in
accordance with the latest mood of
the mode. The durene macrame
which fashions this charming frock
is in an enhancing shade of tur-
quoise blue. The embroidery forms
a pattern which glistens like deli
cate frOsting on its transparent or.
candle background. Her bouquet is
sweet peas in delicate pink.

No Snap for Members
of u. S. Marine Band

Anyone who thinks a member of
the United States Marine Band has
a soft snap of it should take a trip
to the Marine barracks and get a
glimpse Of the musicians at work.
There's no chance for temperament
in the daily routine of the Marine
Band which is heard in the National
All club program of the National
Farm and Home Hour on the first
Saturday in each month.
Rehearsals are serious occasions
when every man Is tuned up to con-
cert pitch, for every member of the
band understands the high eXpecta-
tions of the American public when
the United States Marine Band ap-
pears in radio broadcasts.
Captain Taylor Branson, renowned
leader of the band, wields the baton
for the organization, and his able
direction and intimate understand
ing of arrangements play a big part
in the splendid performances.
Besides the vigorous rehearsals,
there are numerous engagements to
be filled by the Marine Band which
is in constant demand for diplo-
matte functions, civic and patriotic
parades. White House concerts and
the various governmental and social
affairs that play part in the daily
life Of the Nations Capital.

BLUEBEARD

COMPARED to his prototypes in
~ real life the Bluebeard of our
fairy story books was mild and be-
nevOlent man. King Henry VIII
ran him a close second in the mat
ter of winning and disposing of
wives, forbidden doors and box lids
abound in literature, from the myth
Of Pandora down, and it is quite
probable thai the arch-villain Blue
beard is merely a compilation of
many bad men of legend and folk
tale all rolled into one.
If credit for inspiring this famous
character, however, is to be given
any one man, he was GILES de Raiz,
one of Joan of Arcs generals and
a marshal Of France during the Fif-
teenth century, whose villanies make
Bluebeard appear a meek and home
loving husband. Giles inherited a
large fortune and political promi-
nence; the first he squandered, the
second he disgraced. When bank
rupt he turned to alcehmy, sought
the favor, so they say, of the devil
through black magic, made human
sacrifice of innumerable little boys
and girls, and is said to have been
the one to betray Joan of Arc into
the hands of the English. The
church finally convicted him of sor-
Gerry and he was burned at the stake
for his atrocious cruelties in 144O.
The story-book version of Bluebeard
first appeared in the famous French
collection of Perrault in 1897.

FIGHT U. S.CONTROl
FOR MOTOR LINES
Opponents Of Interstate Reg
uIation Testify at
Hearing.

Opponents Of regulation for highway
motor carriers today attacked the pro-
posal to put interstate operation Of
buses and trucks under the jurisdic-
ton Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at the hearing conducted by
the commission on the report Of Attor-
ney Examiner Leo J. Flynn. This re-
port recommended control OF the rates
and services Of this form of transpor-
tation.
The argument was directed prtnci-
pally in behalf Of trucking interests, q
group OF witnesses saying 1t was i'm
practicable and not in public interest
to regulate the public carriers.
Fears Lack Of Sympathy.
H s. Shertz, on behalf of the Inter-
state Motor Carriers Association, OPP
posed any immediate regulation Of the
motor vehicles operating for hire on the
ground that neither the Interstate
Commerce Commission nor any other
body has had sufficient experience with
highway operations to administer such
regulations. He said, however, motor
operators would not be against any
bic plan were found after an intelligent
thetic body"
He said the railroads overemphasize
the extent to which motor carriers
have cut into their business.
John S. Burchmore Of the National
Industrial Traffic League declared the
public is entitled to the most economical
transportation it can obtain by all
means and agencies, and no legislation
should be attempted which would sttfie
any form Of legitimate transportation.
Control Principle Upheld.
The principle of regulation was up.
held yesterday by Stephen Robinson on
behalf Of the Iowa Board Of Railroad
Commissioners and by John E. Benton,
the National Association
of Railroad and Utilities Commis-
SionerS.
The former proposed that the regula-
ton should be effected by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in co-op-
Grafton with State commissions.
Mr.. Benton favored Joint State boards
whose rulings would be subject to final
action by the /. @. c. where necessary.
T. r. Dahl, representing the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, re-
iterated the opposition Of that organi-
zation to truck regulation, but said
there was no objection to controlling
bus transportation.
On the disputed question of whether
the highway carriers pay for the roads
in proportion to the use they make Of
them, Mr.. Dahl said he doubted that
maintenance cost was increased be-
cause Of the heavy vehicles, but If such
was shown to be the case he had no
doubt that the industry as whole was
willing to bear such increased cost.

CHECK ON OFFICIALS SOUGHT.
Arlington Body Asks Laws to Prevent
Chaos.

Special Dispatch to The Star
LYON PARK, Va, March New
laws. designed to prevent repetition OF
the economic chaos through which
Arlington County has passed since the
reported shortage In the office OF the
county treasurer, are proposed by the
Committee on Resources and Expend1-
lures of the Arlington County Civic
Federation, in a report adopted by that
body here last night.
First, the report proposes an act to
empower the county board to inquire
into the conduct and affairs OF all
county officers.
Another proposal would create an
act that would abolish the fee system
for all county officers. In this con-
nection the report cites that despite
the improvements made in the system
under legislation of 1926, it is not in
harmony with proper functioning OF the
budget system"
checking procedure for all county oft1-
cials is also asked in the report.
Would Make Report Mandatory.
The report further proposes ar act
to make all reports on activities OF
county officials mandatory, all reports
to become public property.
The final recommendation OF the
committee is for an act TO make 1t i'm
possible for any officer to set aside the
duties imposed upon him by law.
Copies of the report, which was sub
mitted for the committee by Frederick
E. Mann, chairman. we're ordered sent
to State Senator Rust, Delegate Reid
and Harry A. Fellows, chairman OF the
county board.
Lawrence Douglas, commemorative
attorney, the speaker of the evening,
commended Mr. Mann for his report
and stressed the necessity for a book
keeping system in the county compar-
able to systems employed by corpora
tions or municipalities the size of Ar
lington. Such system, he declared,
was contemplated before the county's
recent difficulty" and will be put into
effect in the near future.
Urges Citizens 10 Keep Cool
Douglas advised the meeting that he
was not in q position at the present
time to 60 into details as to the condi-
tions in the treasurer's Office and that
probably nothing definite will be known
until the audit is completed. Until
that time. he asserted, it is the duty
of all citizens to keep cool.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-Methods
OF prohibition agents whose raids led
to padlocking of seven Eagle Lodges in
Western Pennsylvania were denounced
by judges of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals yesterday in reversing
a paddock order imposed by the Federal
Court at Pittsburgh last June.
Two prohibition agents used lodge
membership cards bearing fictitious
names to gain entry to the lodge rooms,
where they allegedly bought beer and
liquor and later obtained search war
rants on which raids were conducted.
This subterfuge was denounced by
Judge Warren Davis, former Baptist
minister, and Judge Victor B. Cooley
Of Wilmington, Del, as "unethical and
Illegal" In dissenting opinion,
Judge Joseph Burlington, senior mem
Der of the court, held that while the
dry agents tactics might be considered
unethical, they were not illegal
The padlocked lodges are at Pitts
burgh, Johnstown, Altoona, New Ken

were ordered padlocked for year by
