Miss Boardman accepts Post
In Red Cross Roll Call Here
Will Head Committee
for 22nd Year in
Fall Drive.

Miss Mabel T. Boardman, vice chair
man Of the District Chapter and ma
tional chairman of the Volunteer
Service, American Red Cross, will
head the annual Roll Call Committee
of Booths and Special Memberships
this fall for the twenty-second consec-
utive year, Edgar Morris, general roll
call chairman for Washington, an
nounced yesterday. President Wilson
made her a District Commissioner.
She is the only woman who ever held
the post.
Miss Boardman has been associated
with the work of the American Red
Cross since 1900. She was an out
standing leader in the reorganization
Of the society in 1905. When William
Howard Taft was President he said: :
1--WE cannot think of the Red Cross
without thinking of Miss Boardman,
and we cannot think of Miss Board
man without thinking of the Red
Cross"
1t was due to Miss Boardman that
the Red Cross has its handsome head
quarters buildings in Washington. She
was largely responsible, too, for the
Evening star., 1938-07-17

ferences Of the League Of Red Cross
Societies in Paris.
For her Red Cross work the French
government made her a Chevalier Of
the Legion Of Honor, and she has
been decorated as well by the govern
ments of Belgium. Japan, Portugal,
Italy, Serbia and Sweden. She holds
honorary degrees from Yale, George
Washington and Western Reserve Uni
versities and from Converse College.
Under Miss Boardman's leadership
the District chapter of the Red Cross
has developed one of the foremost
Volunteer Service organizations in the
country. 1t is her particular pride
that the District chapter has always
been the number one chapter in men,
berships obtained during the roll call.

Is nothing definite worked out yet on

II 1T is decided to apply the written
test to second-class offices, it will mean
a great deal Of additional work for the

sand OF these, which are in those cities

from $4,000 to $4,000 annually. It
had previously been predicted that the

It's postmastership requirements.
Bothersome Question.
The question of age limits is prov
Ing bothersone. Where classified en-
ployes are promoted to postmaster
ships, they are subject to the retire.
ment law, which drops them from office
at the age Of 10 unless the time is
extended by the President. Civilians
appointed as postmasters, however. are
specifically excluded from the Retire.
ment Act. and that will allow them
to hold on, irrespective of age. It is
because Of this that there Is a feeling
that while the present maximum of
66 was all right where terms were
limited generally to four or eight
years, it is not advisable on a life
tenure basis.
Another development on the civil
service front yesterday was the pro-
mitigation of an executive order re-
voking the privilege of the Bureau of
Motor Carriers to make certain nom
civil service appointments. When the
bureau was set up in the Interstate
Commerce Commission three years
ago, a number Of key positions were
allowed to be filled outside of civil
service to speed organization. The
bureau did not even take advantage
OF all these exceptions, going for the
most part to the commission for its
supervisory officials, and it was said
yesterday that there was no reason
for making further exempt appoint
nents.

ONCE UPON JAN. Goth


If Robert Morris were alive today,
he would be regularly denounced as
IAN economic royalist," "a Fascist"
"a monopolist," and "a prince of pri-
vilege." For Morris, who was born
2Ct years ago today, was the greatest
y, ivate landowner in American his
-. At one time he was the propri-
eal Of the western half of New York
STATE a million acres in South Caro-
lima, and two million acres in Georgia.
In Morris time he was considered
a patriot. He voluntarily supplied or
raised more money to finance the
American Revolution than any other
man. Though it was contrary to his
business interests he signed the non
importation agreement that melted
Britains use of armed force against
the Colonies; and though it meant a
rope if caught, he signed the Declare
ten of independence. He gave the
government, which had none, full
benefit of his credit. Historians of
the Revolution say that without Nor
ris help the crucial campaigns of 1880
would have been impossible. He
provided the money that enabled
Washington to beseige and capture
Yorktown.
Washington, Morris and John Car
roll perhaps the three richest men of
the time, backed the Revolution with
every resource at their command, al
though more than third of the popu-
lation of the Colonies opposed it, and
large numbers left the country with
their wealth.
Morris, like Washington, received
nc monetary reward. The war over,
Morris put the remnants of his for
tune to work developing foreign trade
for the infant Republic. He pioneer
ed in building UP markets in China,
upon which the country's greatness in
industry and commerce was founded.
He overspeculated however, became
bankrupt, and spent several years in
debtors prison.
Efforts Were made to induce Con-
gress to do something for him, but it
was too busy with legislation to con-
troll wealth.
At the time when Morris was strug-
Cling to bring order out of the chaos
in which the end of the Revolution
1OOl4O tl1O 1NCPUOl 11I1dIlCCS, "
have dealings with the French minis
ter of finance Charles Alexandra de
Calonne, who was born on the same
day as Morris, Jan. 20, 1874.
Alexandra Dumas immortali ed De
Calonne with a passage in 1.-The
Queens Necklace" describing a con-
versation between the finance minist-
err and Queen Marie Antoinette. He
explained to her some of the ways
governments could raise money for
the extravagan of it's rulers by mani
pulating currency and devaluing gold.
The story continues with De Calonne
Speaking
My greatest happiness is to
please your majesty, and beg you
will never allow yourself to be embar-
rassed for want of money! He arose
