The Cadets fought valiantly, but
they were outclaSsed completely. The
game was so one-sided the $4,000

quarter and began moving homeward.
The first Tulane team toyed with
the Cadets, and If the second and
third Tulane teams had not been
thrown in the score would have been
larger.
The game produced for public in

The Cadets were literally crushed
by Tulane's first and second teams,

L a than-usual battle cruiser that
demonstrated ability to punch hard
and toss aerial bombs, torpedoed VIII
liam and Mary here today under q
30-to-0 score before $4,000 fans.
By their decisive victory over a club
that gave them some trouble a year
ago, the sailors sounded warning to
Army's cadets that their plans already
are under way to repeat their Frank
lin Field triumph of last year when
the two service elevens meet again in
late November.
Using two separate units with equal
effectiveness, after the Indians de-
tense and stubborn fight held them
off in the opening period, the sailors
revealed not only strong running
game, but also a group of talented
pass tossers as we'll as receivers
These were able to offer an aerial
counter charge to the Virginians'
bombing barrage that had the tars
puzzled for a while.

WELFARE UNIT.

FUNDS
Care Of 1900 Child Wards
Seriously Deficient, Says
Head of Board

Methods of treatment of the
1900 children under the care Of
the Board of Public Welfare are
neither modern nor progressive"
Frederick w. McReynoldS, chair
man of the board, stated today.
The welfare official said the
board is planning to obtain for
Washington every possible benefit
from the social security legisla-
ton proposed by President Roose-
welt. He said:
1--WE are vitality interested in
all three sections of the law.
While we have no great indus
tries here our unemployed on
work relief exceed by about five
to one those on direct relief,
which shows the need of unem-
plOyment insurance.
1--WE have long sought an
Old-age pension law, and that
need now should soon be filled"
Mr.. McReynolds revealed that
the board is hampered in its work
of providing proper care to chill
dren by the lack of adequate
staff and equipment. He said:
eve have an excellent staff,
but it is far too few in num-
bers and is greatly OverwOrked.
Our white industrial school,
housed in the old Georgetown
AlmshOuse; our cOlOred boys
industrial school, with almost
no vocational training; our
utter lack of a vocational
school for cOlOred girls, and
our totally inadequate receiving
home for children under deten-
ton, all call for thorough and
immediate, improvement.
SIT is our earnest hope that
when the Federal act becomes
a law, Congress will give serious
consideration to these matters
long urged upon them by our
board"

B|GCROWDS DUE
FOR BLOSSOMS

Indications that the 1885 crop
of Washington'S famed cherry
blossoms will attract the greatest
tourist trade in history appeared
today in a report of the National
Capital Parks office, stating that
the requests for advance informa-
ton of the date of blooming far
exceed those of past years.
The majority of requests are
from railroads, bus companies
and tourist information bureaus.
Last year these agencies reported
the largest vanguard of tourists
ever recorded, but are preparing
for an even greater trade this
spring.
Albert Clyde-Burton, assistant
parks superintendent, said the
date of blooming is still in doubt,
but it is expected the blooms
will appear at about the same
time as last year-April IS.
The record breaking crowd
last year was credited to the
First Annual Cherry Blossom
Festival, staged by the Greater
National Capital Committee.
Plans for the fete this year are
still undecided.

Soon Due

Juvenile Court Justice Fay Bent

would rule Thursday in the case
of Mrs. Dorothy H. Dorsey, con.
cert bureau manager, alleged to
have violated the child labor stat.
ute because she sponsored a con-

commercial venture. Mrs. Dorsey

MYSTERY Wells
MELLON ART
COLLECTION
Location of Masterpieces and
Details of Plan for GAL
Iery in Doubt
A veil of mystery still cloaks the
famous Mellon art collection.

A veil of mystery still cloaks the
famous Mellon art collection.
Although some light was cast
on it several days ago with the adj
mission that former Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon
plans to construct an art gallery
in the National Capital, only part
of the mystery that has yelled his
almost priceless collection has
been lifted.
And today, c. Powell Minnige-
rode, director of the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, admitted there was
nothing he could do to clear up
the mystery.
Famed Paintings Hidden
It has been admitted by those
close to the Pittsburgh multimil-
lionaire that some of his famous
paintings are now in a vault in the
Corcoran Gallery, but what paint
ings are there, how many. and
just where in the gallery, are ques-
tons that Mr.. Mellon alone can
answer. Said Mr.. Minnigerode:
"Any and all information
about the pictures here must
come from headquarterS-from
Mr.. Mellon himself"
The director of the local gal.
lery stated that several years ago
the paintings were placed in his
trust by the former Cabinet Off.
cet and that they have since been
stored for safekeeping in a vault
in the gallery.
Two Keys Required
That small room, the location
of which Mr.. Minnigerode refused
to reveal. has a double lock. One
key is held by the venerable owner
of the paintings and the other by
the director of the gallery, and
neither can enter without the
other.
It has been Indicated that the
five valuable paintings which Mr..
Mellon purchased from the
famous Hermitage Museum of
Russia are stored in the little
room in the Corcoran, but no con-
firmation of this fact could be OBJ
tanned here.
The five Hermitage pictures are
Raphaels "The Madonna of the
House of Alba" 1.-THE Annuncia-
ton" by Van Eyck, Titian's
Venus with Mirror" Botticelli's
Alteration of Magi" and Perugi-
nos 1.-THE Crucifixion, with st.
John, the Magdalen, and st.
Jerome"
Washington is awaiting further
developments of Mr.. Melons an
nomcement that he plans to
bring his 19-million-dollar collec-
ton of famous old masters to this
city, to be placed in a gallery on
the Nall, which it is expected will
cost in the neighborhood of so
million dollars.
Collection a Mystery
The mystery of Mr.. Melons
collection has prevailed ever since
Mr.. Mellon, as a. young man, be-
gan buying the best works of art
that have come down through the
centuries. He has never made
known what paintings he has in
his possession and has persistent
ly denied rumors that he would
construct a gallery here.
In the meantime, r. P. Tolman,
acting director of the National
Gallery of Art, has admitted it
will be great help to his over
crowded gallery if Mr.. Mellon con-
structs the new art center. He
has pointed out that famous
paintings are now crowded into
storage rooms and on movable
screens because of the lack Of
space to hang them properly for
exhibition.

MORE ECONOMY,
EFFICIENCY
POSSIBLE
Ickes, Commissioners, Board
of Education Informed of
Exhaustive Survey

President Roosevelt is of the
opinion that Washington's park
and recreation areas can be more
economically and efficiently
operated under a single admins
trative unit, it was learned today.
The Chief Executive expressed
his views in letter to Secretary
of Interior Harold L. Ickes, copies
of which have been sent to the
District Commissioners and the
Board of Education. All three
agencies are now involved in the
administration of local park facil-
tiles and no little disagreement
has resulted over their individual
efforts.
Wrote to Ickes
First indication that the Pres
ident had taken hand in the
dispute came two weeks ago when
it was revealed that he had
written Secretary Ickes in regard
to the matter. The letter, re-
vealed today, states:
my attention has been
Gale dto the fact that the
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has re-
Gently made a rather exhaust
tive survey of the possibility
of cooperation among the
three agencies concerned with
recreation activities in the Dis
trcit of Columbia.
II am informed the survey
states that under a proper
unificatiOn, the same properties
and te hSame size staff could
secure One-third greater results.
Surely this is an achievement
worthy of our earnest efforts.
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
II consider this movement of
great importance to the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Fed
eral Government and the Dis
trict government have been
spending millions of dollars i'm
the acquisition and develop
ment of park and recreation
properties. 1t is highly desir-
able that a method of admin
iStratiOn be evolved that would
provide maximum human use
of these properties, thus max
ing a greater contribution to
the health and happiness of
our citizens"
AS a result of the Presidents
action, committee of three has
been appointed to seek a CO.
ordination of agencies, and con-
vened for their first meeting
shortly after noon today at the
office of Frederic A. Delano,
chairman of the planning com.
mission.
Those on the committee are
Commissioner George E. Allen,
Henry I. Quinn, member of the
Board of Education, and c. Mar
shall Finnan, superintendent Of
National Capital Parks.
Mr.. Delano will hear the argu.
ments of the three committee
members. He is expected to make
recommendations to President
Roosevelt within few weeks.

 Stumbo crouclied in the jewelry store doorway. He darted weasel like glances up and down the street. He was aggrieved that fl wasn't empty. At o'clock in the morning a fellow expects the streets to have no more hazards than a cop or a drunk or two.
 As Stumbo waited he regretted that it was so often necessary to steal. Not that he was squeamish about the ethics of 1t. but it was inconvenient. And when 1t was done on the spur of the moment, as this evening, he usually had an at- tack of the jitters. It was after impromphu jobs like this that he'd been sent up each of the three times he had been convicted. A fourth conviction meant life i'm prisonment under the habltual criminal act. And life is a long stretch when one is 23.

It is were a matter of speed he could thumb his nose at the cop and be safely away. But cops would overrun the neighbor- hood, and police cars would cruise through it, and any one on the streets would be stopped and ques- tioned-and searched.
 He must find cover. Stumbo dashed around the first corner into a crowded street of mean little houses. The neighborhood was un- known to him. He cursed the i'm pulse that had brought him there.
