AS winner from Benton county of
the c. M. st. p. & P. Educational
Trip to the 18th Annual National All
Club Congress at Chicago" I want to
tell all the other All girls and boys
of this most interesting trip from
which have just returned. Each year
it is offered to one outstanding All
girl or boy of this county.
Friday morning, November 20, I
boarded the train at Lind, Wash. At
Spokane the chaperons, 20 Washing
ton delegates and some of the Oregon
and Idaho Alters entrained to begin
this marvellous trip. We were on the
train two days and two nights. ALI of
us had many new things to learn on
the train for some of us had never
ridden in sleeper before, therefore
we had to learn to dress in a berth,
also read our menu and eat our meals
between bumps and jars. We arrived
in Chicago Sunday morning, where we
went directly to the Harrison hotel. AS
there were no rooms to be had there,
we were taken to the Congress hotel.
After luncheon we went to the Audi
forum hotel to register and there re-
ceived our meals tickets, All caps and
tags with our names and the name of
our state on them. That afternoon we
went to the Art Museum and in the
evening all of us went to our rooms
early.
Monday we began our week by all
the delegates from the various states

HEADLINES

AS THE YEAR 1885 approached its
end, reports from all points indicated
steady increase in material pros-
perity with stores all over the nation
reporting sales from 10 to 20 per cent
greater than last year, and in many
cases the best since 1923 and 1929. Pos
tai receipts during the year also showed
decided increase in business during
the year.

plan for peace became known, brought
the small nations of Europe to pro-
test the manner in which England and
France were attempting to halt Mus
solini at the expense of Ethiopia. The
dispute at Geneva reverberated in Lon
don, nearly causing the downfall Of
the newly elected National government.
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary,
and sponsor of the plan was forced to
resign his post, thus saving the gov
eminent In France, the plan nearly
caused revolt against Laval's gov
eminent, but was STAYED off by clever
maneuvering.
Far from proving acceptable to either
Mussolini or Halle Selassie, the plan
apparently brought peace no closer,
and served only to strengthen Musso-
lini's position against the world and
make it possible for him to continue
his conflict with decreased opposition.
Economic sanctions, instead of being
speedily clamped down, were still be-

to prepare for any emergency.
AS A RESULT of Hoare's resigna-
ton, Captain Anthony Eden was pro-
NOTED to the post of foreign secretary
in England. This move was viewed as
very favorable by those who approve
the economic isolation of Italy, as
Eden was opposed to the peace plan,
and throughout the Leagues dealings
with the conflict has been one of the
leaders in the move to apply sanctions.
AMERICANS, smugly disappearing
conditions in Europe, received stiff
blow this week when it was learned
that Charles A. Lindbergh, the ma
TONS hero, and his wife and son had
left this country to seek sanctuary in
England.
Since the kidnapping of their first son
three and a half years ago the Lind
berghs have been pestered by publicity
and recent alleged threats to kidnap

NEW HIGHWAY
ISPLANNED TO
GETTYSBURG

ROCKVILLE, Md, Sept. 3.
Plans for a memorial highway
linking Washington and historic
Gettysburg are being pushed by
a recently-formed civic organiza-
ton composed of residents along
the proposed new route, it was
disclosed today by j. w. Jones,
president of the organization.
An early survey is to be made
of the proposed highway, Mr..
Jones said. and approval of Fed
eral. Maryland and Pennsylvania
authorities will be sought imme-
diately.
Short Line Planned
Mr.. Jones, president of the
Montgomery county farm bureau
and an official of several other
county and State agricultural or
ganizations, said present plans of
his organization call for the con-
struction of a 20O-foot boulevard
along as near a direct line be-
tween the two points as possible.
During the past several years,
two or three prospective routes
have been selected by various Or
CARNATIONS furthering the con-
Struction of such highway, but
they have always followed one of
the main State highways leading
from Washington to the famous
battlefield. and would call for an
entrance into Washington by one
of the present congested streets.
Entry Through Park
The present organization pro-
poses a road leaving and entering
the Nations Capital through
Rock Creek Park, where highways
lead off at close intervals to any
part of the city, avoiding much of
the local street traffic.
From the District line the high
way would follow Rock Creek Park
to a point near Kensington, Md,
and then follow nearly a direct
line through Maryland and Penn
sylvania to the spot made famous
in American history by a deciding
battle of the Civil War and the
memorial address of President
Abraham Lincoln.

BOARD RULES

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 3.-The
long-draWn-out litigation in the
case of Robert Kent, who was sen
fenced to 13 years in the Virginia
State penitentiary here on convic,
ton of kidnapping Mrs. Mary Jane
Hastings, resort hotel operator,
was given a new twist when the
State board of mental hygiene
held Kent the victim of temporary
but recurring insanity, and recon-.
mended that he be committed to
State hospital.
Edward T. Haynes, of Rich.
mond, counsel for the convicted
man. took prompt exception to
the boards report, saying that
"the State is now trying to prove
Kent to be insane. whereas it de.
MED his insanity at the time of
his trial"
Kent was tried in the circuit
court of Botetourt county after
the body of Mrs. Hastings was
found beside a road near Strouds.
burg. Pa. 1t was admitted that

SEC WAR n )
TEACHERS0N
INVESTING
International News Service

School teachers are among the
biggest suckers" in America, the
SEC agreed today when it issued
a stop order against the National
Educators Mutual Association, of
Nashville, Tenn. The stop order
prohibits the company from SELL
ing it's $1,000 bonds outside the
Volunteer State.
Although the Association"
agreed at the recent hearing to
issuance of the stop order, the
SEC announced it felt duty bound
to publish the details because OF
the nature of the case, "in essence,
an enterprise dealing in an ire
Sponsible fashion with the small
savings of city and county school
teachers, so that the untruthful-
ness and the unfairness OF the
registrant's officers should be a
matter of public record"
The commission declared the
associations" prospectus to con-
tain untrue statements of mate
rial facts and that the state
ments contained on the actual
bond were misleading.
Instead of being a bona fide
bond for $1,000, the commission
pointed out, the company agreed
''to pay the investor at the end
of 10 years $3.50 in cash and five
shares of stock as previously is
sued, which stock has a stated
value of $50 per share" The SEC
pointed out:
"The fact is that the prin-
cipal amount of the bond II
it can even be called a bond,
is but $780,"
The remainder of the $1,000,
the commission declared. was to
be paid through the issuance of
five shares supposed to be worth
$50 each, but actually worth SO
cents. Promoters bought the
stock for 10 cents share. The
SEC continued:
The disastrous financial his
tory Of the regiStrant (aSSOcia-
tiOn) is concealed by the form
in which its balance sheet and
profit and loss statements were
submitted"
In order to show profits" the
commission said in this connec-
tion, the company executive vice
president and sales manager.
Charles G.. Pfab donated" $5,542
to make up the amount the COM
pany actually lost since it's or
ganiZation.

; QUESTIONS UP
F0RSCHOOL BOARD
Character Education One OF
Problems Scheduled at
Meeting Tomorrow.

Three matters of foremost import
lnce to the District public schools
character education, medical examina-
ton of pupils and the appointment
of a director of the new Department
Of Health and Physical Education
are expected to be discussed at
special meeting of the Board OF Edu-
cation tomorrow afternoon.
The meeting was scheduled to af-
ford Superintendent of Schools Frank
w. Ballou an opportunity to report to
the board on the progress of the
character education experiment in the
public schools. This statement was
requested some time ago by Mrs.
Philip Sidney Smith, board member.
Her request followed assertions be-
fore a Senate subcommittee that the
principal fault with the character ed
ucation course lay in lack Of publicity
and public support.
Mrs. Smith suggested that DR.. Bal
Iou,s report be followed by similar ac-
countings to the board at frequent
intervals to keep members Informed.
Tests Recommended.
The question of medical examina-
tions for all public school pupils was
brought before the board Wednesday
by DR.. Ballou, who recommended COM
plete tests of all children not less
than four times from kindergarten to
graduation from high schools. Action
was deferred because of the absence
of Mrs Henry Grattan Doyle, board
wee president, who is much inter-
ested in the subject.
Board members. however. mani
tested sympathy with the physical ex-
animation program, indicating DR..
Eallou's plan, or an even more COM
prehensive scheme, probably will be
urged if any way OF putting it into
effect is found.
Mrs. Doyle, who is chairman of the
Personnel Committee, said she ex
poets DR.. Ballou to make his recon-
mendation regarding appointment Of
a health and physical education d.
rector tomorrow.
Candidates Considered.
For some weeks DR.. Ballou and
members of the board have been in
terviewing candidates. The identity
of the persons selected still is being
held secret. but Birch E. Bayh, direc-
tor of physical education and health
in the Terre Haute, Ind, schools, is
known to be receiving prominent con-
sideration for the job.
Others who are said to have met
favor with the board include Golden
Romney of New York University and
Paul Thomas Of the Harrisburg, Pa.
schools.
Creation of the post is an aftermath
of the student fight during an inter-
high school foot ball game in Central
High School Stadium last Fall 1t
was recommended by a committee
headed by Henry I. Quinn of the
board.
The man chosen for the job will fall
heir to the task of revamping the
entire physical education system here
He will have the three fold RESPONSE
bility of all athletics, physical and
health development of each child and
instruction in health and hygiene.
