BALL GAME
Cooler After
Record Heat Wave,
Is Promise

Washington today continued en-
tertaining most of the more than
200, 1000 visitors who streamed into
the Capital over the week end.
Three major attractions &C.
counted for the stay-over: the
opening baseball game Of the
Washington Griffmen with the
Philadelphia Athletics, the open
ing Of the annual convention Of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution, and the Japanese
Cherry blossoms, which may be
destroyed this year to make way
for the jefferson Memorial.
Rail Records Broken
Railroad travel records were set
as Is excursions and scores Of
regularly scheduled trains poured
thousands of visitors into the city
to greet a heat record of SO de-
grees, at p. m. yesterday, which
matched the 41-year-old high
mark.
Featuring the midsummer
weather was the rapidity Of the
thermometers rise. At 6 a. m.
the mercury stood at 48 degrees,
and 1012 hours later it read SO
degrees, a jump OF IS.
Nearly 100000 visitors viewed
the cherry blossoms, according to
police, who estimated that more
than $4,000 automobiles circled
the Tidal Basin and put Pc
deStrians at more than $4,000.
Both of these figures were slight
ly less than recorded Sunday a
week ago when some 100000 visi-
tors braved cold winds to see the
blossoms.
Fifteen excursion trains from
Philadelphia ana New York ac-
counted for more than 10000
visitors, while all highways lead.
ing here were jammed with auto
mobiles.
Crowds Visit Zoo
A near.record was also estab-
lished at the Zoo, where an eSti-
mated $4,000 persons strolled to
see the animals and enjoy the
open spaces of the huge park.
Only one prostration was re-
ported-a 9-year-old boy at the
Zoo. He was quickly revived and
left the Lion House, where he was
treated, without giving his name.
All leaves and dayS-off in the
Park and Metropolitan Police De-
partments were cancelled and po-
licemen were pressed into service
throughout the city to handle the
crowd and the traffic.
Among the most congested
points was BladenSburg Road at
Fifteenth and H Streets Northeast
and at Hyattsville, Md, where
traffic officers were kept busy
throughout the day.
Tourists filled East Potomac
Park, and the waterfront was de-
Scribed by police as a beehive"
most of the day.
Among the crowds were many
students who came in groups of
100 or more in specially chartered
buses, one of which brought q
high Schol students from Blakely,
Ga.
Relief from the heat wave was
promised by Weather Bureau of.
ficials who predicted cloudy and
cooler weather and showers today.

of the United States Government
henceforth shall receive any deco
rations or honors Of any kind from
any foreign government.
This is President Roosevelt's
newest step to prevent entangling
alliances between this and foreign
governments.
It comes soon upon the heels Of
that other Executive order prohih-
iting ambassadors, ministers, con-
suls, and all attaches Of the United
States foreign service from marry
ing other than American women.
Until this last Executive order
of March 1S, published in the Fed
eral Register and overlooked by
the rest Of the press and myself
until today, officers of the Army
and Navy and State Department
officials were permitted to receive
honors and decorations from for
eign governments, but they were
not permitted to wear their marks
of international favor.
The Constitution said as far
back as 1888 that no one in the
service Of this Government should
wear any honor from other govern
ments.
But WEARING did not mean &C.
cepting. So ever since this Gov
ernment was founded and our
representatives began to travel
abroad foreign honors have been
offered and received by them
but not worn.
They have been deposited &C.
cording to law in a great vault
In the protocol room Of the State
Department. AS the person to
whom the decoration belonged has
left the service of the United States
Government, he has been per-
mitted to take his decoration from
the State Departments safe keep
ing. And wear it whenever he
wanted to.
More than a thousand such rib
bonS, crosses and buttons are now
stored in the State Department
awaiting the time when their own
ers shall become private citizens.
These pretty haubles will be the
last Of their family to cross the
national threshold. This order Of
President Roosevelt makes them
relics Of the days when this Gov
ernment Strove to please other
nations and was afraid Of wound
ing some sensitive national heart
by. declining its fayors.
The reason behind this no.more-
decoration order is this:
Honors Of the sort are generally
given with q purpose. The govern
ment beStowing them wishes to
curry some particular favor from
the man across whose proud chest
it pins the ribbon or the jeWelled
cross.
If the favor of the man is thus
adroitly won through his vanity,
he, is likely to use his influence
with his government at Washing
ton to arrange special considera-
ton for the donor of the ornament.
AS far as possible, President
Roosevelt means to make the men
in his service proof against the
snares of international present
giving. Just as he planned a few
months ago to safeguard them
against the wiles Of international
romance.

Mr.. Schenken's opening bid was, Of
course, an olt-and-out psychic. How
ever, when Mr.. Jacoby responded with
one heart and West doubled, Mr..
Schenken decided to try to shut the
opponents out some more by bidding
two hearts. While Vests double might
normally have warned Mr.. Jacoby that
there was something peculiar about
Mr.. Schenken's bid, unfortunately
West has . habit Of making psychic
and semi-psychic doubles. As q re-
suit, Mr. Jacoby not only showed both
his club and spade aces, but finally

the ace Of clubs, discarding . spade

Now Mr.. Jacoby counted up the
hand carefully, ana decided that
East's failure to trump meant that he
was trying to protect three trumps to
an honor and that his original dis
tribution had been four spades, three
hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.
Accordingly. Mr.. Jacoby laid down the
