SOCIETY FULF|LLS
MONUMENT RITE
Annual Custom Observed by
Group That Raised Funds
for Shaft.

In accordance with annual custom,
the Washington National Monument
Society today placed wreath at the
Monument in connection with its reg
ular Washington's birthday anniver-
sary meeting.
The society, originator Of a popular
subscription movement that resulted
in erection of the great stone shaft on
the Mall, met for its l04th session this
afternoon at the Metropolitan Club.
According to William r. Harr, sec
retary of the organization, business of
a routine nature will be considered,
including the election Of one new
member. The meeting will be execu-
tive.
BY act Of Congress the society serves
in an advisory capacity in the custody
and preservation OF the monument.
Organized by group of patriotic citi-
zens here in 1888. the society was
chartered by Congress In 1859.
The society's efforts aroused ma
tional support for the monument
project. More than 100000 was
raised by popular subscription before
Congress took over the financing of
the remainder of the enterprise.
The corner stone was laid July 4,
184S, during ceremonies sponsored by
the society. The capStone was placed
December 6, 1884, and the monument
was dedicated February 81, 1885.
The Civil War interrupted construc-
ton, but persistent campaigning by
the society led to completion Of the
shaft at final cost of $1,187,71o.

accompanied her when she was rushed
to the hospital in naval ambulance.
DR.. Ross T. McIntire, the Presi-
dents personal physician, who was
present during the operation, quoted
Comdr. Willcutts as saying he ex-
pected no complications, although the
attack was acute. He added the oper-
alton was performed in time to pre-
clude unfavorable results.
First signs that Miss du Pont was
suffering from appendicitis were evil
denced Saturday afternoon.
She had arrived at the White House
Friday night with the Presidents son.
They had been vacationing in Florida,
where Franklin, jr., was recuperating
from a sinus infection. A few weeks
ago Miss du Pont and Mrs. Roosevelt
hurried to a Boston hospital to be
with Franklin after he was oper-
ated on.
Miss du Points mother, Mrs, Eugene
du Pont, and a friend, Mrs. c. r.
Wainwright of Philadelphia, arrived
here today from North Carolina
resort, where they have been spending
the Winter. They have been invited
to stay at the White House.
While his fiancee was being oper-
ated on, young Franklin paced the
corridors of the hospital, attendants
said. He remained at the institution
several hours after the operation,
spending most of the time at the
bedside Of the girl he plans to marry
in June.

Another Ice Age

Says CeOlOgist.

b the Associated Press.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, February o.
Runaway" Black Rapids Glacier
prompted q geologist today to predict
a "few more Winters like this one"
might start the advance Of many
Alaska glaciers.
Ernest N. Patty, geologist and
former dean of the School of Mines
at the University of Alaska, said any
change in the weather balance"
doubtless would affect glacial move
ment in . short time.
"It could cause glaciers to wipe
out bridges, railroads and highways
and block some rivers, changing their
courses or damming them into lakes, I"
Patty said.
Unusually deep SHOWS. like those
Of this Winter, at the sources Of the
glaciers, probably would result in the
glaciers advancing beyond their pres
ent terminals.
But, such q geological revolution
Is unlikely to occur within the life Of
any person now alive
BLACK Rapids Glacier does furnish
. good example, however, Of how easy
it would be for nature to turn back
ward and bring another ice age"
Patty said the advance Of Black
Rapids Glacier toward the Richard
son highway and roadhouse in the
big Delta River Valley probably would
stop when Spring came. The warmth
then, he thought, would melt the
lower end OF the glacier faster than
pressure above foEcsd the ice into the
valley

there was no assurance the contend
ing parties would recede from their
positions.
President Robert ]. Aitchison of the
corporation remained steadfast in his
refusal to arbitrate with what he
called outside organizers" including
Meyer Adelman, organizer for the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.
Previously he said evacuation Of the
plants by strikers must precede initial
negotiations.
"If they can sit in there, We can
sit up here" he said.
The strikers telegraphed Gov. Henry
Homer they could never agree to
negotiate without Adelman as their
representative.
One conciliator said the stalemate
may drag on for weeks"
Several hundred sympathizers
pledged support of the strike at a
mass meeting last night. Adelman
told them recognition Of the c. I. O..
as the bargaining agency was the sole
objective of the strike.
President Aitchison described the
situation as "tense," although two
shifts of 100 special deputies each made
no further attempts to oust the
strikers in accordance with q court
Injunction. Rioting broke out when
they stormed the plants last week In
q futile effort TO dislodse the man.

Jacob NJ Mandelbaum, attorney for
the Downtown Dry Goods Jobbers'
Association, to which the 80 dealers
belong, explained that the strike
against workers was called because the
union refused to renew an agreement
with the association. but insisted on
bargaining with individual employers.
THE union told us they wanted to
sign individual contracts with employ
ers," he said. They also insist we
cannot have the right to dismiss
workers. So we decided to strike
against our employees until they see

Michelin Taylor, said that she was
not denying the marriage at Salem,
but contended she was only 1914 years

expected to show that such a mar
riage was illegal in Virginia.
Rubinoff contends there was no
promise to break and that anyway
Miss Garcia. nee Taylor, was a mar
ried woman at the time he knew her
and thus in no position to be accept
ing proposals as to matrimony, even
if any were made.
Sander and his striking client spent

counsel, and had not decided whether
