Northern Virginia Mourns Passing Of c. Earl
Tiffany, Prominent Banker-Rain Proves
Codsend to Farmers

The whole Of northern Vir.
ginia was shocked and grieved
yesterday to hear of the death
Of Mr.. C. Earl Tiffany, of War
renton, Virginia, who died in the
Fauquier County Hospital, after
an operation. One of Virgiaia's
most prominent business men,
Mr.. Tiffany was admired by all
who knew him.
He was a native of Loudoun
county, near Middleburg, Va,
but had lived in Warrenton for
more than 80 years. Since the
starting of the Fauquier Ma
tional Bank of which he was
made president, the bank has
grown steadily until it is now
one Of the largest in the State.
This country has lost a true
and loyal friend. Mr.. Tiffany
was never too busy to stop for
q kind word of advice and a
helping hand to the many who
called upon him. There will
never be another to take the
place Of this great man whom
all loved.
The rains of the last two
days have been a godsend to
the farmers, who believe it is
not too late to save the corn
crop.
The rain stopped III time Sat-
urday afternoon for the tourna-
ment at the Upperville Horse
Show grounds to be held. With
20 knights riding, this event
was a great success. A large
and enthusiastic crowd of on
lockers cheered the knights to
victory.
The match game between the
HagerStown polo team and the
Fauquier-Loudoun polo team, at
Marshall Field, was very much
enjoyed on Saturday afternoon.
Fauquier-Loudoun beat their op-
ponents, 8 to 3. The lineup for
Hagerstown was Mr.. Byron, No.
/; John Jamison, No. 2; Rich
ard Jamison, No. 3; Captain
Mallonee, back, and Edward
Mason, substitute. Fauquier.
Loudoun lineup-Philip Triplett,
No. /; John Rawlings, No. 2;
Rodney woodward, No. 3, and
John Walker, back.
The Hagerstown team has
been playing polo for three
years and has improved Won
derfully since playing here two
years ago.
After the game on Saturday
the visiting team and a num-
Der of guests were entertained
at supper by Mr.. John Raw
lings. The Fauquier-Loudoun
team will play return game
with the same team at Hagers-
town on next Saturday.
Quite a crowd of VirginianS
are planning to go to Maryland
to see this game.
The dance given by Mr.. and
Mrs. James B. Skinner on
Thursday night in honor Of
their guest, Miss Betty Hardie,
of New orleans, was a huge sue
cess. A platform was built out
of doors on the lawn, with bales
of straw around the edges as
seats. japanese lanterns were
hung all over the grounds, with
chairs and benches beneath
them. This, with the many
pretty girls and bright dresses,
made a lovely scene, and dane
ing lasted long into the night.
Tables with kegs of beer and
many other refreshments which
were served all during the eve
ming, added to the pleasure of
everyone. Among those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Frost,
DR.. and Mrs. Thomas Neill,
Mr.. and Mrs. Holland Potter,
Mr.. and Mrs Stacy Lloyd, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Young, Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Llewellyn, Mr..

American business men who have

Foulois Case Inspires Attack J.
On Congress- Inquiry Methods

Refusal Of Secretary Of War Dern
to comply with demand Of . House
subcommittee that Maj. Gen. Ben
jamin D. Foulois be dismissed Is
chief of the Army Air Corps has
stirred up discussion of congressional
methods Of inquiry and of the right
of the Army to control its own per-
sonnel. Much support Is given to
the contention of the War Depart
ment that the Foulois hearing was
conducted without giving the air ofii-
Ger proper opportunities for defense.
"As between . small group Of Con-
gressmen, plainly bent on vindic-
tive mission, and q man who, Is years
ago, was the whole Army air force, /"
says the Indianapolis News, "the
people win not hesitate to choose.
They may not be satisfied that all Is
well In the Army air force, but they
will never lose faith In Foulois until
an honest hearing, in which he is
fairly treated as q. citizen and ON
them to change their minds on Q
basis of reason"
Patent justice and fair play, rs
well as due regard for Q pioneer, long
and efficient service record are the
considerations which commend Sec
retary of War Dern's REFUSAL" de-
clares the San Antonio Express,
pointing out that the charge was
that Gen. Foulois "had violated the
law by approving the purchase Of
planes through negotiated contracts
instead Of the low-bid system usually
followed" The Express concludes:
"A soldier like Gen. Foulois, who has
So years steadfast service to his
credit, should not be made the tar
get for attacks In such manner. In
deed, Secretary Dern reminds the
subcommittee that it was privileged
to lay formal charges against Gen.
Foulois before the War Department.
Had it done 50, the charges could
have been referred to military tri-
bunal for q decision"

1t Is Worth Living.

There are occasions, doubtless, when
life does not seem worth while. Illness.
financial difficulties, family troubles
ANY of these may appear to render
the ordeal Of existence insupportable.
But. on the other hand, only a mind
unbalanced by distress can contem-
plate deliberate surrender. Normal
people, however tortured or burdened,
have courage enough to wish to keep
on to q natural end.
Psychologists have wrestled with
the problem for centuries. The in
stinct to survive they agree. Is one
of the most compelling of human
motives. And q disaster like the
burning Of the MORO Castle drama
tizes the power which relatively weak
and helpless individuals find within
themselves to meet the challenge Of
death. Men and women who were
not professional athletes swan from
the blistering hulk to shore. or main
tanned themselves in the water for
hours until rescued. Passengers
seemingly exhausted by seasickness
rallied to fight their way to the
vantage point Of the deck and then
bravely plunged overheard to risk
drowning rather than stay within
peril of the flames, Thought for
others, likewise, prompted heroism
worthy Of remembrance. One man
swan toward safety with strange
child in his arms, striving In vain.
as it happened, to preserve q little
boy committed to his care by acci-
dental chance. Sisters, jumping from
the rail together, were separated by
the waves. yet managed to find each
other In the darkness and cling to-
gether until hauled into 3 lifeboat,
And perhaps those who failed to
survive made just as great an effort,
were just ~ brave - their more
fortunate companions In the horrible
catastrophe. Their fortitude. surely,
may be presumed.

Pains in the Neck.

Harry Hopkins, the Federal relief
administrator. is afiicted with his
most recent pain In the neck" as
tho result Of statements that an un-
determined number Of persons on the
relief rolls In the District own or
come after their Government checks
In automobiles. His pain in the neck
Is not caused SO much by the fact
that persons do come for their relief
checks in automobiles as by the i'm
piled criticism Of q system under
which relief payments are made to
persons who own automobiles.
1t. Is entirely possible. as Mr.. Hop
kirs and others have argued, for
persons who own automobiles to be
ut the same time, eligible to Govern
ment relief. Mr.. Hopkins also admit.
with characteristic candor that from
five to ten per cent of the relief
benenciaries are chiselers who have
no right to the money.
But there should be some reason
able way to prevent pains in the neck
to the taxpayers, as well as pains In
the neck to relief authorities, by q
systematic drive on the chiselers. All
the chiselers may not ride in automo-
biies, But In the District the relief
rolls have been increasing steadily
and the only prosecutions against
chiselers have been for the fraudulen,
use Of Government checks. involving
forgery and other crimes. It Is to b

himself more fortunte than many pri-

"It il hard to believe" comments

mately bound up with that of the
Army Air Service would at this late
day betray his trust. and In so doing

It is agreed by the Roanoke World
News that Congress has the last
word" while the New York Sun voices
the hope that efficiency of the Air
Corps will not be subordinated to

Conceding that "Congressmen do
not have power to dismiss Gen. Foulois
themselves" the South Bend Tribune
comments: Congress, however, does
have power to discipline any govern
mental department head. by withhold
ing appropriations or trimming them
In painful proportions" The Los
Angeles Times states: Secretary
Dern points out that Gen. Foulois was
given no opportunity to make de-
fense against charges that he bought
aircraft without competitive bidding.
This is doubtless true, but Farley did
not give the airmail contractors the

The Troubled League.

ITOuDie anu olSCOfo OOk tklc League
Of Nations with relentless persistence.
The current annual Assembly ut
Geneva Is no exception to the rule.
On hardly any subject on its elabo-
rate agenda Is there semblance Of
unity or prospect of agreement. Sell
fish nationalist interests. as Of yore,
predominate, to the prejudice of that
idealistic international solidarity which
the League purports to personify.
At the moment, controversy revolves
around the admission of the Soviet,
coincident with granting her perma-
nent place on the League Council.
The three Western powers which boss
the Geneva show-Great Britain,
France and Italy-had arranged
through private negotiation for the
Soviet,s entry, and the ways were
supposedly creased for accomplishing
It as a mere formality. On Wednesday
these plans were suddenly disrupted
by the temperamental president OF
the the Irish Free State, canon de
Valera. In q fiery address before the
Assembly. he assailed the "back-stairs
method" Of planning the Soviet's en-
try and called for q free and open
debate In the Assembly instead OF
having SO portentous matter dis
posed Of in ''hotel rooms" by q select
group of League potentates.
Mr.. de Valera favors the admis-
sion of the Soviet, but insists on
untrammeled discussion of all ques-
tions Herewith associated. Speaking
for q country which had suffered
much for religious freedom, the Irish
chieftain expressed the hope that the
Soviet would be induced to make uni
versal the rights of religious liberty
granted to American nationals as .
condition for recognition by the
United States. A number Of smaller
members of the League, which have
never recognized Moscow, oppose the
Soyiets entry. Mr.. de Valera holds
they should have public opportunity
to state their objections. He pleads
that the League, as well as Mr.. Lit
vinoff's government, has its dignity"
to preserve, and he Is opposed to
subjecting the organization to the
possible humiliation Of having the
Soviet reject an Invitation" to join.
Doubtless between Mr.. Ltvinoff's IS
diplomacy and the finesse Of League
strategists points Of difference will
be ironed out. but those now to the
front reveal the international or
ganization as . house sorely divided
against itself-an organic difnculty
which has SO often paralyzed its
will and power for good. Among the
other reasons for desiring the soviet's
membership Is Geneva's hope that
1t might pave the way to the return
Of Japan and Germany. s
The current Assembly, besides
Soviet membership, is dealing with
the Austrian question, with the war
in the Gran Chaco, with the fast
approaching problem of the saar
plebiscite and with the eternal issue
of disarmament. Arthur Henderson,
president Of the Disarmament Con-
ference. announces that further pro-
ceedings have been deferred until
November. Geneva. Is under the Inn
preston that Britain's new air pro-
gram has made the prospect for dis
armament bleaker than ever.
