Senator Walls:
Who's Got
Nv Hat%

Who has the cleaning silk
topper of Senator Smith Of
South Carolina?
For several days now he has
been attempting to solve that
question, without success. So
today he appealed to The
Washington Times to aid him.
Tuesday the Senator went to
a dinner at the White House.
When he left his hat was
gone. True, some unidentified
guest had left another in its
place. But the Senator's hat
is size ~; that left in its
place is 73s, and sits too high
on the senatorial brow.

5. Irwin, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, today de-
clared President Roosevelt sis
making a splendid and courageous
effort to bring about industrial
recovery"
Speaking at the annual conven-
ton of the iron, steel and allied
industries of California here, Irwin
said:
"The provisions and CONNER
cial features of the steel code
provide that everyone selling,
materiIl under the code must
post prices at which they are
selling material in the offices
Of the American Iron and Steel
Institute at least 10 days before
sales are made under such
posted prices.
"ThiS does not mean that
producers get together and fix
prices, but that everyone knows
1T what prices others in the in
dustry are selling their COM
mOditieS. Naturally, unless one
has a superior product, it would
be impossible to get a higher
price from a customer than the
price already posted by a COM
petitOr.
"The present method simply
brings prices out in the open,
50 that the buyer knows exactly
what his competitors are paying
for the same character of steel
In which he is dealing. This
feature Is embodied in order
that the smaller enterprises may
be protected"

HINDU SHOT
IN QUARREL

Santa Singh, a Hindu rancher
living 10 miles west and north of
Imperial, is in the county hospital
suffering from gunshot wounds re-
ceived following a quarrel with
Tacker Singh at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. according to report
filed at the sheriff's office.
The two men, it is reported, had
quarrel at the canal headgate
near the ranch. Santa started for
his home with Tacker following.
Suddenly the latter shot at Santa
with a shotgun inflicting serious
wounds. The wounded man was
taken to hospital in Calexico
where it was found he had a bad
flesh wound on the left breast over
his heart. A large piece of flesh
was torn from his left forearm and
numerous shot holes were found in
his right arm, leg and back.
Tacker Singh was arrested in
Calexico by Guy Echols, Calexico
police chief and brought to the
county Jail where he is charged
with assault with intent to commit
murder. Further action will depend
upon the outcome of Santas in
juries, it was said at the jail this
morning.

NEGLECT OF
HOUSE WILL
COST MONEY

While property ownership is a
very stable and attractive invest
ment, two serious items must be
kept in mind, according to G. j.
DeGelleke, director of the Central
States Division of the American
Institute of Architects. They are:
l. Depreciation, due to the wear
ing out of the buildings, which re-
duces their values.
2. ObsoleScence, due to build
ings not meeting the requirements
OF the times and therefore not pro-
ducing reasonable income.
fNeglecting repairs results in an
accumulation of expense which is
great deal larger than the cost
of repairs as required from time
to time, - DeGelleke says. "In
some cases 1t necessitates recon
structing parts of the buildings.
people are affected by the con-
dition of the buildings they occupy
fully as much as they are by the
clothes they wear, their associates
and their manner of life."

GILMORE MODERNIZES GASOLINE
STATION AS SALES EXPERIMENT

carries the name Gilmore on three
sides, and is surmounted by leap
ing lion, illuminated by means of
flood lights. The tower is con-
structed Of steel and glass, and is
Illuminated tIcm within by means
of incaadescent lamps set in spa
cial reflecors.
The sales bdilding has been cor
siderably heightened, with a high
parapet, formed by lumir,ous ele-
ments comprised of steel, glass and
light. The design is strictly mod
ern in character and while lighting
has been full stressed, the day
time appearance of the station
has in no way been neglected. BY
day the station will present a strik-
ing appearance, it being so design
ed to take full advantage of its ad-
vertising display possibilities.
In a recent speech, delivered be-
fore oil men, J. c. Chatfield, ma
tionally known authority on mat
ters pertaining to the petroleum in
dustry, the statement was made
"oil companies don't want and
don't need much more additional
equipment, but they do need more
business. Modern equipmer-not
necessarily more equlpment-will
help oil companies increase their
business"
Just how close Mr.. Chatfield hit
the mark should be decided by this
Gilmore experiment, and for that
reason the entire oil industry is in
tereSted.

engineers. working in conjunction
with Luminous Structures, Incor-

an entirely new and outstanding
type of modern illuminated struc-

that light attracts business. they
have taken advantage Of this fact
and are remodeling the station in
accordance with the modern trend
in architecture plus the intelligent
use of light. Light is an essential
architectural element in the new
building design.
In doing this, Gilmore and Lumi-
nous Structures engineers have
taken a leaf from the book of Gu-
ropean architects, as well as taking
advantage of some Of the newest
developments in modem lighting as
exemplified by the spectacular in
stallations at the Century Of Prog

Vanderbilt Is Happy

a land lubber can see from a
motor boat bobbing around them.
But my reason for saying it is
definite and clearly defined.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt was a
small boy his sand pile was the
waters of this remarkable boat
and yachting country off the
Rhode Island coast. Probably no
skipper or sea faring man, pro-
feSSional or otherwise. knows
these waters and the winds that
play above them better than he.
Thus it would look to the un-
initiated as though Mr.. Sopwith
is meeting him on his home
diamond.
Nor does Mr.. Vanderbilt look
to be the type that would look
with any too much amiability.
He impresses me as a gentleman
who would 90 on beating you as
long as he held the trumpS to
turn the trick.

esy now, or was last evening,
so the natural assumption is
that he secretly feels that he
is holding a grand slam hand.
These illusions to cards and
bridge are not accidental. Next
to yachts and the blue waters
off Newport, Vanderbilt knows
bridge best.
Founder of the vanderbilt
convention" and first sponsor
of contract bridge in the
United States, it is generally
admitted that he could, and
can, hold his own with any
bridge player in the world.
Well, I am no bridge addict;
on the contrary, it strikes me
as remarkably futile way in
which to waste time. You can't
even learn anything playing it,
because the rules won't permit
somebody who might have
something interesting to say to
say it.
But I am quite willing to
admit that it takes a keen
mind to play top-flight bridge,
which bears out the impression
that Vanderbilt is a keen one
in competition of any kind.

For SATURDAYS Race

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. IA.
The most fashionable ladies Of
Newport, Miss Lotta Bucks
Rainbow and Miss Rule Brit
tania Endeavour, stepped down
from Bristol, r. l., to Brenton
Cove yesterday afternoon with
their party dresses whipping in
Q lively summer breeze.
Miss Endeavour. trying out
this sail and that for the bene-
fit of the movie cameras aboard,
in her run down from the
Herreshoff ship yards, had at
one time her Mae West" or
Genoa Jib spread. The Genoa
Jib is called Mae West" be-
cause it billows somewhat in
front, if you old sea dogs are
following me. I also believe
there is sail aboard Miss En-
deavour which. is called the
"Greta Garbo." This on &C.
count Of it having an unusual
amount Of footage.
In any event. the two most
popular ladies of Newport are
now all dressed and painted
and dolled up and waiting to
step out tomorrow morning in
their first 30-mile bruSh-15
miles to windward and IS to
windward off the Brenton Reef
Lightship just outside Newport
Harbor-for that historic bit OF
silver known as the Americas
Cup.
The Americas Cup is the old
est trophy in the realm Of inter
national sport. It was brought
to the United States in 1851
from the Isle of Wight by that
gallant and sturdy grand old
dame Of the seattle Yacht
America-which lived to become
q blockade runner in the Civil
War and it has rested here
more or less undisturbed
throughout the ensuing 80
years.
On View This Week
And, incidentally, if you care
to see it, it is on view this week
in Tiffanys.
Mr.. T. o. M. Sopwith, of the
Royal Yacht Club squadron, of
which his majesty King George
v, is admiral. thinks SO years is
long enough for the mug to stay
in this country and that it must
be getting homesick for Eng
land. Mr.. Sopwith owns and
pilots the dainty and dashing
Miss Endeavour. Indeed Mr..
Sopwith probably feels that to
keen the cup longer than 83
years would mark us Americans
as selfish and greedy.
But Mr.. Harold Stirling Van
derbilt, who pilots the stylish
and racy looking Miss Rainbow
for the seventeen millionaires OF
the New. York Yacht Club, no
doubt feels that it would be
foolish to haul the old trophy
all the way back across the
ocean at it's time of life. Mr..
Vanderbilt and Miss Rainbow
are going to endeavour CNo pun
intended) to keep it over here
O while longer, and all loose talk
to the contrary probably will
succeed.
