Plans for a social service headquar-
ters have been carefully considered for
some time, according to Chest off,
cials, both to get the several agencies
In closer touch with each other, and
for the purposes of economy. The
venture has been in charge of a Gen.
tral Officing Committee of Clarence
Phelps Dodge, chairman: Mrs. Charles
A. Goldsmith, Mrs. Whitman Cross,
DR.. Harold G. Moulton, Hugh A
Thrift, Walter S. Pratt, jr., and Maj.
Ennals Waggaman.
The first step consisted in obtain
tHg the premises at 1913 Vermont ave-
nue., which was given, rent free, by
the Lansburgh estate, through the
efforts of Mrs. Goldsmith, a member
of the Lansburgh family. The appli-
cation bureau has been located in that
building, with the District of Column

group disqualification Offices. With
the application bureau moving to M

Street Voices Gratitude.
I'VE are glad to have so many of
our organizations located in the one
building" Elwood Street, director of
the Chest, said yesterday so many
people regard the Chest as the proper
place to send applicants for aid and
now that We have the application
bureau under the same roof with the
general headquarters, it will be sim
pie matter to handle applicants.
I'VE hope by this means to effect
further economies which will, in turn,
reduce the amount spent for raising
and administering funds, and will also
save several of our organizations a
considerable part of the money hith-
erto spent for rent Our immediate
savings will amount to several thou

INSANE MANS DEATH
CAUSED BY BEATING
Iowa Governor Orders Probe Into
Charges of Mistreatment
of Patients.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, March %
Shortly after a coroners jury found
the death of a patient was due to a
beating. Gov. Clyde L. Herring an
nounced yesterday he would order an
investigation into charges of mistreat-
ment of inmates of the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Clarinda.
Smith Lysinger, 26, the patient, died
yesterday at his home in Lamont The
jury convened yesterday heard testi-
mony of his parents and two ply
sicians and named Earl Hughes, an
attendant, in connection with the
mistreatment charges. It's findings
were communicated at once to the
Governor
j. w. Lysinger. father of the dead
man. testified his son just before he
died told him trough treatment and
beatings were administered by attend
ants and fellow inmates serving as
guards"
The dead man was a great-grand-
son Of Joseph Smith, founder of the
reorganized Church of Jesus Christ
Of Latter Day Saints, and a nephew
OF Fred M. Smith. Independence, Mo,
present head of the church. He was
committed to the institution in 1882

over Florida. Another expedition
went to Russian Turkestan to find
wilt resistant alfalfa strings.
Now that legislation has been
started toward transferring the
Botanic Garden to the Department
Of Agriculture, the botanical experts
are developing ideas in case the shift
should be made
Both Mr. Ryerson and Mr.. Nor
rison agreed that the new green house
recently completed by Congress would
be excellent for show purposes but
unsuitable for growing. 1t was built
with top ventilation only which causes
the air to Stagnate, making it diffl-
cult for plants to grow. They believe
the land the Government owns near
the Arboretum is the best place for
growing and the green house at the
foot of the Capitol Hill the best for
exhibition.
Mr.. MoriSon'S idea Is to have a
permanent arrangement of ordinary
plants such as tea, coffee and
bananas with drug plants and medi-
cinal herbs besides the more unusual
flowers and shrubs. He thinks the
average person should have oppor-
tunity to get an idea of the whole
plant kingdom, running the scale
from the exquisite to the frightening,
the carnivorous and the deadly herbs.
This he would supplement with lovely
incidental exhibitions such as the
present amaryllis show and the Fall
chrySanthemums.

adjoins the original Perrine grant.
The third garden is in Chico. Calf.
This is the largest in area and i'm
portant because of its collection OF
dessiduous fruits, such as peaches,
nectarines, apricots and oranges, as
well as walnuts, pistachio nuts and
grapes. It also has a rare collection
of cactus, ornamental shrubs. drug
and medicinal plants and trees from
the Orient.
The fourth garden, called the Bar
bour Lathrop Introduction Garden. Is
in Savannah, Ga. 1t concentrates
primarily on bamboo trees.
The history of the department goes
back nearly 100 years, and from the
first it was tied up with the impor-
tation of plants and seeds. Though
it was not until 1862 that the De-
partment of Agriculture was estab-

GAME FISH AWAIT
ROOSEVELT HOOK
Bureau of Fisheries Experts
Predict Success for
Florida Trip.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
If anything like traditional "Roose-
welt luck" accompanies the President
on his cruise in the Gulf Stream, the
angling phase of the trip should be
highly successful, according to ex-
perts at the Bureau of Fisheries, who
say few fishing grounds are more
tempting or rewarding than those in
Florida waters.
The President may even have the
thrill of participating in or watching
a battle with a tarpon, silver mon
arch of all game fish. Failing to catch
either a tarpon or a sailtish, the two
choice prizes of Gulf Stream fishing
bureau specialists say he would find
a battle with a red snapper an
ideal antidote for mental fatigue or
worry over Government problems.
Red Snapper a Fighter.
When a red snapper is on hook,
he ordinarily does not make a fight
at first, but comes up deadWeight
until near the surface. Then getting
sight of the boat and fishermen, he
becomes panicky and darts wildly to
the right and left The battle is on,
and If the snapper is large, assistance
may have to be summoned to finish
the fight.
The sailfish, larger and more pow
erful than the snapper, has a similar
style of fighting, making prodigious
leaps and plunges after rising to the
surface with the hook in its mouth.
Small boat angling for spearfish, a
species of Sailfsh. often is dangerous
for sometimes the spearfish rushes
upon the boat, capsizing it and drown
ing the fisherman or woundng him
severely with its spear.
Four years ago President Hoover,
on his first day of deep-sea fishing
off the Florida Keys, caught sail
fish feet long. But in the days fol-
lowing he was the victim of old-time
"fisherman'S bad luck, failing to hook
any more of the big fellows. Mrs.
Hoover helped maintain White House
prestige, however, by hauling in a
38-pound sailfish.
SchoOlmaster Is COlOrful.

cures the most delicious of all food
fish, the silvery- scaled tarpon, tropi-
cal denizenS of the sea in brilliant
colors, fantastic shapes and queer
names abound in Southern waters Of
the Gulf Stream.
One of the most colorful is the
schoolmaster, a species of snapper.
His back is reddish brown with yell
low tints, his belly is purplsh rosy,
top of the head dark rose and fins
greenish yellow. From back to lower
part of the side are about nine broad,
greeniSh white vertical bars
A few of the tropical specimens are
translucent while others look like
bats, snakes and other animals. Some
with odd names are the sea-cucumber,
the puppy fish, the grunt banana fish,
cockeye pilot and the old wife. The
latter is one of the most attractive
in appearance, being blush above and
golden below with four narrow verti-
cal bars on its sides.
The bone fish, a number of which
were caught by the Hoover party, is
one OF the most highly respected fish
off the coast of Florida, being very
beautiful and active. 1t has bril-
liant silver color on the sides and
olive tints on the back. Like the tar
pom, it is of little food value, while
the red snapper is highly edible.

Public Might Be Misled'

The scene is after luncheon in private room
of hotel. A dozen men are gathered. The
one that made that remark is not member
of the public. He next says, Il think we
all ought to stop the practice"
He is merchant of Washington. He, to-
gether with other representative merchants,
is a member of the Advisory Committee of
the Better Business Bureau; and the meet
ing is one of the regular meetings of that
group. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss advertising and adopt standards.
Accuracy and Truth in Advertising are the
ideals for which these men are striving.
These meetings are practical illustrations of
self-government in business; cooperative
leaders in industry legislating against them
selves for the protection of the public; and
of course, with the hope of building public
confidence.
Public confidence is good will, and good will
is an asset of extreme value to an intelligent
merchant. That is why leaders give time and
money to the Better Business Bureau, SO
that they and you may be protected.
