WALTZSALARY
HIT BYM' CARL

The Department of Labor was
notified today in a ruling by
Comptroller Gen. j. r. McCarl
that it will not be credited for
payments of salary to Henry w.
Waltz, assistant social economist
of the Children's Bureau, because
he was appointed permanently on
July 16, 1882, without presiden-
tial approval.
The contention of the bureau
is that he was appointed under
existing law, and assumed his
duties on May 2, 1882. The
bureau wanted someone on that
job, and the Civil Service Com
mission had no eligibles on Janu-
ary 9, 1882, when the request was
made.
Consequently a nonassembled
examination was given on April
18 of that year, and the follow
ing day the bureau notified the
commission that it wanted Waltz
appointed.
The Comptroller General holds
that the appointment was not
permanent until July 16, on which
date the economy act was in
effect, and that under this act
all appointments must be ap-
proved by the President,

WOMAN
FACES TRIAL
WITH MAN
Two and Missing "PoIiCeman"
Due for Indictment BY
U. S. Grand Jury

Unable to raise $4,000 bail the
Countess Grace de Benque Ian
guished in District Jail today.
Also held in the same alleged
blackmail plot which caused her
arrest is George A. Gormley, said
by police to have been involved
in the blackmail litigation with
Edward D. Dean, ST., wealthy real
estate operator.
! The two were arrested yester-
day on complaint of Miss Louise
Maret, who, with her sister, op-
crates the exclusive Maret School
for Girls.
Held to Grand Jury
The two were held to the
Grand Jury under $4,000 bonds
each after a hearing before
United States Commissioner
Needham C. Turnage.
Later the bond Of the countess
was reduced but she was unable
to raise the lower amount and
was remanded to the Jail, storm
ing and protesting.
According to the story told by
Miss Maret, the countess intro
duced her to Gormley, and he re-
Gently asked her on an automo-
bile ride. When he began to
shower affection on her she in
sisted on being taken home.
The following night he met her
and took her out beyond Chevy
Chase Circle and stopped the
car, she said.
Man With a Badge
At that moment a man with
badge and flashlight came up,
according to her story, and told
them they were under arrest and
demanded her registration and
which she gave him.
Gormley than drove her to the
home of the countess, who stated
that the policeman" must be
bribed to avert scandal, Miss
Maret saiH
Miss Maret gave $4,000 of the
$4,000 demanded, she said.
Gormley denied any knowledge
of a blackmail plot, asserting Miss
Maret had loaned him $4,000 for
which he had given her receipt.
Police are running down a num-
ber of other reported blackmail
cases which have been rumored
here to determine if Gormley or
the countess had any part in
them.

Samuel Pepys.

Samuel Pepys, the prince of diarists,
was born three hundred years ago to-
day in Salisbury Court, in London. 1t
would have been an annoyance to him
to have first seen light of day any
where else, and being born In the right
place was but the beginning of the good
fortune which attended him all through
his life.
Educated at Huntingdon, st. Paul's
and Cambridge, he was indebted to his
father, a tailor, and to his kinsman,
Edward Montagu, later Earl Of Sand
wich, for an excellent start in the crown
service. BY 1850 he was important
enough to be included in the company
which went to bring Charles II back
from exile. Clerk of the acts in the

The Archives Building.

President Hoover on Monday laid the
corner stone Of the National Archives
Building, and thus a formal start was
made toward the creation of a Federal
hall of records which, when completed,
should be one of the most generally
useful structures in the Capital.
Such e depository of state papers has
been needed for generations. The sub
ject has been discussed again and again,
but one delay followed another until
many had ceased to hope that proper
provision ever would be made for the
documentary treasures of the Govern
ment. Then. as part Of the new
Federal building program, the edifice
now begun was conceived. 1t will solve
the problem.
The President expressed the purpose
Of the structure in these words:
The building which is rising here will
house the name and record of every
patriot who bore arms for our country
in the Revolutionary War as we'll as
those of all later wars. Further, there
will be aggregated here the most sacred
documents of cur history, the originals
of the Declaration of independence and
Of the Constitution Of the United
States. Here will be preserved all the
other records that bind State to State
and the hearts Of all our people in ar

Tea, to some, Is like tobacco, at once
intriguing and disappointing.
No matter how much one searches
for the perfect blend, one never finds it.
Yet the mind keeps insisting, 1T
must exist"
Somewhere, in somebody's teapot,
there lies an exquisite flavor
It is the taste of the perfect tea.
Perhaps the Governments official
"tea tasters" are acquainted with this
flavor.
These are expert gentlemen who are
supposed to be SO good at tea taSt-
ing" that they can tell just where a
given leaf was grown.
Personally we have always regarded
these candio gentlemen with suspicion.
How any one can be as expert as
all that passes the comprehension OF
one tea consumer.
It is said that these men violently
take a mouthful of tea, allow it to
touch the taste buds at the rear of the
mouth and then spit it out.
If they drank all they take in they
would be water-logged, or tea logged,
in no time at all.
The reason we look with wonder on
the abilities of these gentlemen is be-
cause we feel that the taste of tea
drinker is in.
Perhaps no other drink responds so
to the frame of mind" one is in.
Sometimes a cup of tea tastes good,
sometimes like so much dtshwater, Tor
no apparent reason at all.
Both cups are made the same way
and are served the same way.
What else can the difference be, ex-
cept mood?
Of course, there is nothing strange
about the mixing of teas and moods.
Since it was introduced to Europeans
tea has been regarded as having con-
nection with intelligence.
The Orientals recognized this CEN
turies earlier.
The drinking of tea, with them, was
and is sort of ceremonial proceeding
not mere drinking.
The interest of intellectual peoples IN
this brew has been a fact recognized
widely.
The latest instance is the charming
book of essays, ITO Think of Tea" by
Miss Agnes Repplier.
The mood one Is in, one may think,
has great deal to do with the way tea
tastes.
No doubt the determined person, who
searches for the perfect blend (even II
he never finds it,, recognizes the neces-
sity for receiving his fine cups with
gratitude whenever and wherever he
finds them.
There was that perfect cup at the
hotel table at the seashore. Remem-
ber?
Many years have passed, but they
have not dimmed the taste of that COM
bination of young Hyson and English
breakfast.
Mixtures tried at home, upon occa-
sion, have failed to give like result.
What was it-just the right propor-
tions-just the right strength-just the
precise amount of sugar and cream?
Right here the tea world splits wide.
What! Put cream in tea?"
1t is a howl of protest, from certain
good souls who have read somewhere
that the Chinese and japanese never
do it.
Well, what is that to us?
If we like cream In tea, we like cream
in tea.

Educational Idealisms.
n the Charlotte Observer.

From the Charlotte observer.
In a recent report, DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University, gave expression to some OF
his notions on educational methods
that have obtained, his chief conten-
ton being that liberal education in
this country is suffering from over
emphasis on vocational training. He
holds that little can be done to put
education in the university on proper
basis until the elementary and sec
ondary schools "bestir themselves really
to educate the great mass of the popu-
lation and to leave off their dabbling
in the muddy waters of the anti
PHILOSOPHERS and the pseudo-psycholo-
gies." The true task Of these schools
sis not to fuss with experimental psy-
chologies at the cost of childhoods
training and future usefulness, but to
bring to bear all the resources of his
toric and well-tested civilization in
simple and understandable form, to
offer that body of information, that
guidance and that kindly discipline
which will really prepare youth for an
independent, a controlled and a
well-underStood life"
To the Observers mind, however,
DR.. Buffers strong point revolves
around the question OF manners" He
submits as one of the deplorable re-
suits of bad methods, the constant
graduation from colleges, and often
from professional schools, of youth of
most uncertain character and of shock
ing manners who receive academic ad-
vancement on the sole basis Of having,
in more or less mechanical fashion,
complied with certain examination
tests. The fact of the matter is that
capacity to pass these intellectual tests
should rank third in estimating the
educational progress Of a student. Evil
dences Of his character building should
come first, and evidences of his good
manners and respect and concern for
others should come second; and, these
lacking, no amount of intellectual per-
formance Of any kind should win him
advancement or graduation.

Tangier, member Of the corporation Of
the Royal Fishery, member of Parlia-
ment, and secretary of the admiralty,
he was an indefatigable worker, pos
sessed Of special genius for mastering
detail and for replying to criticism-the
latter no Insignificant talent on occa-
sions when the House Of Commons
found fault with the management of
naval affairs. From 1853 to 1888 he did
his part to strengthen the doomed re-
gime of the last of the Stuarts. In the
end they fell, and he, naturally enough,
fell with them. But his last years were
peaceful and happy under the liberation
of William and Mary. He spent them
in correspondence with his friends, in
cluding Dryden and Evelyn, and enjoy
ing his well chosen library.
His own time owed much to Pepys.
He was both courageous and generous
in his way. He remained at his post
of duty during the plague and the great
fire, when others fled. He aided

a younger, then an elder brother and
finally a master; the Royal Society, OF
which he was president; various other
institutions in which he was interested,
and many individuals. He had culti-
waited appreciation Of architecture,
painting, sculpture, music, letters,
science, exploration and discovery. His
Diary runs from 1850 to 1869, and is the
richest source extan. for sidelights on
one of the most interesting periods in
modern history. When he died he left
his books to his college, the celebrated
Magdalene, Cambridge. There they re-
main, his monument, an unfailing reser-
voir of knowledge such as he loved.
The translation of the Diary from
the authors original shorthand was not
accomplished until 1925, and the COM
plete text was not generally available
until 1899. An authentic and intimate
portrait of himself, it is no less a re-
vealing depletion of his contemporaries,
great and humble. Through the pages
the reader looks into the heart Of Pepys
the man, finding there reflections of his
friends and his foes, human-delight-
fully and whimsically human-in their
virtues as in their faults and failings
A universal book, it constitutes Vanity
Fair which might have been staged in
any other age aud yet is fundamentally
faithful to the era IN which, in fact, it
was prepared.
Did the diarist intend the publication
of his record? The subject has been
debated again and again. Possibly he
did; possibly he did not. 1t does not
matter. He bequeathed the manuscript
to his school, probably with the thought
that the officers of the corporation
might decide. Fortunately, they were
liberal in their attitude. Otherwise no
one particularly would care about that
curious fellow" as Scott called him,
whose passage through this plane of ex-
istence began three long centuries ago
