Presidential Yearnin9

The hidden ambitions Of successful
men are interesting things, when We
can find out about them. Many an
industrial leader secretly wishes he
had become prospector Or Z must
clan; many . general would be q
locomotive engineer or IN Arctic ex-
plorer il he followed the dictates Of
his own heart.
But the most surprising Of Ill these
suppressed desires = the one recently
attributed to the late President Cool
idge.
Arthur Hopkins, theatrical pro-
ducer. says that Mr.. Coolidge always
wanted to b IN actor. Mr.. Hopkins
says that he and John Barrymore
learned this. some years ago, while
guests Of President Coolidge ct Z
White House luncheon.
The president he says, not only
wanted to b IN actor. but was con.
WINGED that he would have been 4
pretty good one.
Few men ever win more success
than Mr.. Coolidge found In his chosen
Held Of politics. It u strange indeed
to learn that beneath It al there
1urked . hidden yen for the elamou,
Of footlights and grease paint.

work were bringing her closer to the
time when she could marry him and
settle down 70 the real business Of

gloss that . hundred strokes Of the

Late today police located an
apartment in the 1000 block OF
Sixteenth st. N. w., which they
said Millen, his bride and Faber
rented February 10 and occupied
about week. 1t was rented under
the name of Merit Nelson. Several

Murton Millen, brothers, and
Abraham Faber. The Millen
brothers, with Murton'S bride of
last summer, Norma, were arrested
in New York Sunday on informa-
ton allegedly furnished by Faber,
who had been arrested previously
in Boston. They are wanted
particularly for the murder of
two policemen in the course OF

armored car, which is equipped
with short-wave radios and tear

PROBE Of LIFTS
! CALLED OFF

After severe criticism of mod
0rn devices in general that have
been installed in new Govern
ment buildings on Capitol Hill,
the House Rules Committee to-
day laid on the table a resolu-
ton calling for congressional in
vestigation of new House Office
Building elevators.
The resolution was one intro
duced by Representative Charles
Kramer CD of California, after
three near-accidents in lifts dur
ing the past few months.
Federal engineers have been un.
able to find any fault with the
elevators, DR.. James C, Lloyd, of
the Bureau of Standards, told
the committee. He expressed the
opinion the trouble has been
with their operation.
Other devices which were criti-
Cized included cratic electric
clocks, automatic flush bowls,
and 'new-fangled" composition
floors.

WIFE, CHILDREN
SAVED IN FIRE

Mrs. Marion Moran, 80, and her
two small sons, Melvin. jr., S, and
Francis, 8, today were rescued
after they were overcome by
smoke from a fire which broke
out in the cellar at their home
iH the 1000 block Rosedale st.
N. E.
Mrs. Moran and the children,
all unconscious, were carried out
of the house by Capt. Richard
Boss and Private Joseph T. Nc
Glynn, of No. 10 Fire Engine
Company. They were revived in
the cold air and needed no med
ical treatment.
Firemen confined the blaze to
the cellar and quickly overcame it.
It's cause was unknown.

Chickie's heart squeezed.
Suddenly without a note of
warning, Pippin forgot she was
Great Carlo, holding the world
Spellbound; or that she was
Trojan Helen, Turing men from
the ends of the earth with her
charm.
With a swing of her tennis
racket she left off daydreaming
and tumult to become the girl
scout again, frantically in
terested in swimming and bas-
ketball.
Then Chickle went about in a
singing lightness. Not even to
David would she admit how the
girl possessed her thoughts,
and that she dwelt continually,
with more fear than was right,
on Pippin's future.
"Steal more time to work in
the laboratory with her" she
urged. cts awfully important
right now to keep her scientific
interest keen"
David Grins at Chickie's Worry
He grinned down with an old
tenderness. It never failed to
stir her heart. why do you
worry, Lady, dear? Let her
have her growing pains in
peace"
David adored his daughter.
He loved her hungry mind, her
young starry eagerness. And he
wasn't dismayed when she flew
from one burning mood to an
other today, an actress;
tomorrow, a microbe hunter;
now a butterfly in love with her
own charms; now a young mar
tyr flinging away her life to
rescue a child from a blazing
building.
That was right-that was the
way a warm, vital, joyous spirit
grew up. He understood the
girl. They had grand times to-
gether in the little room behind
the garage which he had rugged
up for laboratory and where
he initiated Pippin and the lit
tie boys into the exciting mys-
teries of science.
Pippin liked that much better
than making layettes for babies.
From the time she was a little
girl, she went with Chickle to
the nursery Jake had endowed.
She and Kathie sewed and
sewed. They made hundreds
of nightgowns, crocheted thou
sands of little boots. They felt
old and wise and that they
raised these waits.
But it wasn't exciting like do
ing chemistry experiments with
David.
"A person can forget every
thing when they stare through
a microscope, can't they,
David?"

Making one of the most elo-
quent pleas of his career, Corpora
ton Counsel William w. Bride
today opposed any increase in the
District gasoline tax at a meet
ing of the House District Com
mittee.
In bursts of eloquent oratory,
Mr.. Bride told members of the
committee:
"The District of Columbia
stands absolutely helpless be-
fore Congress.
"YOu want to tax the District
to meet the fOllies of your own
States"
The meeting, attended by more
than so representatives of local
organizations, was stormy from
start to finish, and was marked
at one time by heated forensic
duel between Mr.. Bride and Rep
resentative Wright Patman CD
of Texas.
Neither took pains to- conceal
personal animosity, and bot h
hurled sarcastic remarks at each
other about walking on slippery
ground" and treading on thin ice"
Among arguments advanced
against passage of the Smith bill,
which would increase the local
gasoline tax from 2 to 4 cents
per gallon, was that the District
committee should 1egislate for
the sole benefit of washington;
that Maryland and Virginia would
meet any increase here by an
other increase of their own, and
that the increase would be con-
trary to principles of good gov
eminent.
At the request of Mr.. Bride
the bill was laid on the table
indefinitely, since he said the
District Commissioners are now
studying tax revision plan.
Mr., Bride paid sincere tribute
to Mr.. Prettyman and asked the
committee to table the proposed
legislation until Mr.. Prettyman
has an opportunity to study it.
He said:
81 know my successor to be
an excellent lawyer and an ex-
pert on all phases of taxation"

WIDER 10TH st.
GIVEN OKAY

Tentative approval Of plans to
widen and improve Fifteenth
Street between Constitution Ave-
nue. and the Tidal Basin Bridge
was given today by the District
CWA Work and Planning Com
mission. The proposal, approved
recently by the National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission,
had been referred to the District
body as a feasible local CWA
project.
Under the plan, several sharp
curves in the thoroughfare will be
eliminated along with the high
crest in the roadway and deep gut
tiers. The project is estimated to
require about $4,000 and will fur
nish about four weeks of employ
ment.

NEW RELIEF
PROGRAM
Reorganization of System
Here Planned to Care for
Growing Burden

Complete reorganization of the
local relief setup, with a program
designed to operate over a year, is
being worked out under the direc-
ton of Commissioner George e.
Allen, it was announced today at
the District Building.
Mr.. Allen yesterday conferred
at length with David Ruml, head
of the District Public Employment
Center; Leroy A. Halbert, director
OF Emergency Relief; Arch Man
del, field representative of the
Federal Emergency Relief, and
William C.. Cleary, secretary to
the work planning committee TO
the local CIVIL Works Administra-
ton.
New Offices Planned
AS an outgroWth of the confer.
ence, plans are being made today
to erect headquarters for relief
agencies to replace the present
quarters in an old church at John
Marshall Place and C Street North.
west. According to Mr.. Allen, the
church is inadequate for the Of
fices of the relief organizations.
The new headquarters, if the
plan is carried out, will be de.
signed to provide ample quarters
for the emergency relief unit, the
transient bureau, and other gov.
ernmental relief agencies.
Mr.. Allen estimated today that
there are $4,000 families in WASH
lngton which are either on direct
relief or so situated as to be DO
tential relief cases. OF these 10000
are on relief now, he said, this
number having jumped from 5000
since December /, 1888.
$4,000 Now on CWA
In addition, there are $4,000
persons on Civil Works projects,
many of whom will have to be put
on relief rolls as soon as they are
thrown out of employment by de.
mobilization of the CWA. It Is
estimated that 1000 of these per-
sons are on relief rolls, also, their
CWA earnings having been insult
ficient to care for them.
In addition to the local CWA
employees, there are some 5000 on
Federal CWA projects in the Dis
trict and these, too, are likely to
become relief charges within a
short time.
Passage Of the old-age pension
bill will take care of some of the
relief cases, Mr.. Allen anticipates,
and a number of young persons,
between the ages of Is and %, can
be placed in school as a part Of
the new relief plan.
The remainder, except for a
small number who are unable to
work, will, be taken care of on a
made-Work program until employ
ment can be found for them.
Mr.. Allen now is studying plans
for raising the money necessary
for this program, the cost Of
which is expected to be several
millions of dollars. He refused
to reveal what plans he has under
consideration, but it is probable
that the Federal Government
may be called upon for assistance.
Mr.. Allen estimated today that
by May /, when the CWA pro-
gram is expected to end, local
expenditures for relief will have
reached $11,0OO,0OO for the fiscal
year which began July l, 1888.
