the staff can be selected from those
who have been on relief.

all facts that there are another 5000

month program would be trained
health and social case workers and
clerks. In cooperation with medical
authorities, skin and X-ray tests would
be given to persons throughout the
District, among both white and COL
ored, young and older groups.
Civic bodies would be asked to aid
by populariZing the tests, and thou
sands of individuals would be asked
to submit voluntarily to examination
and diagnosed as having the disease
would be advised to take treatment.
Free care would be given those not
having funds for medical expense.
Three new cases of tuberculosis
were reported yesterday. Since Janu-
ary l, there have been reported a total
Of $50. There have been 38l deaths.

''Colonel'' Hastings, %, Dies
Peacefully in Lonely Rooms

Death descended gently Friday
night on Charles w. Hastings
Colonel Hastings to acquaintance
of the neighborhood where the old
soldier had lived alone for 20 of his
80 years.
When they found him yesterday
morning. his fine old features were
composed in serenity and peace. APP
parently the end came without pain as
he was crossing the living room Of the
apartment at TOT First street, which
he had not left for two years.
Little was known of him. Deafness
had cut him of from most human
communication, and even to the other
tenants Of the apartment house where
he lived, he was familiar stranger" !"
No one could tell whether one arm.
which was gone, was lost in q martial
encounter.

The neighbors believe the burdens
Of age and his infirmities must have
rested heavily on his bowed shoulders.
His dim eyes long since had made
reading difficult and so he would sit
all day long at his window gazing at
the street where people passed. A
Government pension supplied his ma
terial needs.
His death was discovered yesterday
by 17-year- Sebastian Genua, who
lives nearby and every day brought in
food to the old man from delicates-
sen. A Casualty Hospital doctor at

From his papers, police learned his

Lack of public interest on the part
of washingtonians in crime preven-

him around the neck and rob him.

4 iHe to Speak

WHhT were these homespun virtues of the little
" Vermonter who came accidentally to occupy the
White House? 1t was said Of Coolidge that he was
blessed with the reticence Of New England and that
he could remain tight-lipped in situations where
foolish men would babble
There is a time for silence and there is a time
to speak out. Mr. Coolidge most certainly did not
avail himself Of one of the most pressing opportu-
mites ever conferred upon any President to become
artculate. Perhaps it might be little unfair to
hold too much against him the fact that he was
mum when Harding and the Ohio gang paged the
country. No one pays great deal Of attention to
what a Vice President may say.
After he had been sworn in by lamp light in his
fathers house 1t became his bounden duty to expose
and extrpate the remaining of the ring which
had grown up around Harding. Mr.. Coolidge did
nothing of the sort
And once in another matter Calvin Coolidge
broke down his rcticenCe and thrust himself into
print at the worst possible time. I am referring to
his famous statement that brokers loans were not
overeXtended The braveSt thing to do, of course
would have been statement calling the attention
OF the country to the vast initiation which was 60
ing on and the gambling mania that had seized the
country. That would have required courage.

IN everything, during the long history of their
family in America. The newest record of their null
tifarous activities has been turned up by Dr. S. C.
Gildllan, and is recorded in his newly launched
book, "Inventing the Ship" (Follett)
To one Nicholas j. Roosevelt, described by Dr.
Gifillan "a relative of ilustrious President
and other distinguished bearers of the name, and
whose greatgrand-nephew was the great, grand
Theodore" he gives credit for having probably been
responsible for the adoption of paddle wheels as
the means of propulsion on Robert Fulton's
cessful steamboat, the Clermont, which made the
famous voyage from New York to Albany in 1907.
This Roosevelt obtained a patent on paddle
wheel in 1914, but he had had the idea long before
that, and had urged its use upon other steamboat
projectors besides Fulton
Nicholas Roosevelt persisted in his pioneering.
Continues DR.. Gilfllan: "In 1911 he built for the
FuIton-Livngston Co. the New Orleans, first steam
boat aioat the Mississippi, married daughter
of John L. Latrobe, architect of the Capitol, and
their first child was born on the first voyage"

Fulton universally credited by American school his

fact used ideas from a of sources and, to

fame as an inventor
In DR.. Gilfillans opinion, Fultons success was
based least of all his mechanical and inventive

he borrowed, he made them worse instead and the
original Clermont was pretty much of mess, from
a marine engineering point of view.
Fulton's real genius. DR.. Gilfillan maintains lay
in his combination of a modcum of mechanical in
terest with real shrewdness in business. He got
patent the Hudson Rivera legislative grant
from the State of New York of monopoly rights in
steam navigation for 30 years, which enabled him
to chase of all rival steamboat builders With boats
that would run at ALL an ideal river for steam navi

the cause for this condition and to find remedy for
It, The suggestion was made about 100 years ago that
infection of the teeth might have something to do
with rheumatic conditions, and this idea has been
mentioned repeatedly since.
Yet there still are some persons suffering from
rheumatic disease who have not been relieved of
trouble when their teeth cleared of all infection
AS result many specialists convinced that
infection is not the leading cause of rheumatism.
MANY specialists think that faulty nutrition and
1N1 wrong diet are the most significant factors
Many just responsible authorities believe that diet
is not important and that correction will not pre-
vent chronic disorders.
Most physicians who make a speciality of rheu-
matte conditions apt to try wide variety of
treatments to keep it under control.
Yet all these treatments, While they relieve

trolling this disease.
Perhaps several factors may be involved in bring
ing about the rheumatic attack, that the only GER

factors responsible in each and application of

THE existence of powerful connection between
il the sense of smell and the memory is pointed
out by Dr. Donald A. Laird. director of the Colgate
University Psychological laboratory on the basis of
a study of 254 people.
DR.. Laird believes that it is a great mistake to
believe that the of smell has diminished in
and no longer plays an important role in his
behavior.
The sense of smell determines much more of our
behavior than we like to admit or than we con-
ciously realize" Dr. Laird says. Take the simple
matter, for instance, of unexpected notions rec
objections popping into our thoughts,
"NTHAT stimulates these recalls? Even a good
w introspecter is unable to trace some of them
to the stimulus that preciptated the rush of long
dormant scenes and actions

OUCH is the effect of sin or sinners that nova
~ days there be statesmen and students in Baton
Rouge and Columbus both who will offer solemn
arguments to Justify the carrying of the varsity foot
pail team on the state pay rolls, though the
duties of their positions be strictly theoretical
1t is being discovered that college students in
state capitol towns are very precocous in politics
and acquire jobs quickly, of them in all proba-
blity, never to be pred loose from the public pay
rolls as long as they live 1t seems a deporable
waste Of money and education to squirt knowledge
over student for four long, expensive years only
to prepare him for a career a sergeant -at-arms
or justice of the state supreme court.
1t has been suggested before and should be urged
more diligently now, in view of Gov. Daveys dis
closures that the laws relating to the maintenance
of certain establishments in proximity to univers-
ties should be enlarged. At present it is provided
by law in all states that no saloon, gambling hell
or brothel shall be permitted to exist within five
miles of university. The reason for this provision
is obvious and wise. Such places tend to impair
the morals of the students
But the early legislators, in their wisdom, forgot
to include state capitols among the forbidden ins
tutionS.
