were Virginia Dare. Virginia Boy. and
Virginia Girl-all of them blue ribbon

- COMMISSIONER MELVIN c.
HAzEN admits he has two
WeakneSSeS-an innate love for
~ fine horses and fox hunting
His love for horses began
back in the early 70s, when he was
old enough to toddle around in sta
bles at the Hazen homestead at Nokes-
vile, Va. Fox hunting was a natural
and inevitable accompaniment.
Throughout the passing years Com
missioner Hazen never lost his love for
horses and fox hunting. Golf. fishing
foot ball and the myriad of other sports
that interest men have little appeal to
him. He does like a base ball game,
and gets mildly excited over foot ball.
But no sport can replace his interest in
horses.
Hazen's father was a prominent
stock raiser and taught him all the fine
points of the business which, in later
years, enabled him to produce some of
the best known horses in the country
Today he has a stable of IS colts and
brood mares in addition to an imported
stallion from the leading sire of Eng
land.
Stallion Grayson's Gift.
The stallion was presented to him by
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson. one of
Commissioner HaZen's most intimate
friends. He named it Longworth in
honor of the late Nicholas Longworth,
Speaker of the House.

fox hunting developed in his boyhood

Cooper Victory Would Mean Re
opening With $50 Paid De-
positors at Present Time.

Fate Of the United States Savings
Bank soon will be decided, after argu-
ments of the case scheduled to take

Court before Justice Jennings Bailey.
Col Wade H. Cooper, president of the
bank, is attempting to force the Treas
ury Department to reopen his bank &C
cording to terms of the Cooper plan,
which has been rejected by the Treas
ury.
Should Cooper win, he would reopen
the bank under a plan to allow the de
positors 60 per cent Of their deposits in
cash while waving the other IS per
cent, which would be paid later.
Should Cooper loose, it is believed
some action would be taken soon to set
tie the future of this bank, which was
refused a license on March IA, at the
end of the Presidents banking holiday.

that in case the Government wins the
court battle, the United States Savings
Bank might join the merger of the
Washington Mechanics Savings Bank,
Mount Vernon Savings Bank, and the
Franklin National Bank.
