terday afternoon at the closing fete
in their honor-a tea dance with the
Argentine Ambassador and Sonora de
Espil and the naval attache of the
Embassy and Sonora de Sueyro as
hosts. The visitors from the Argen-
tine have been extensively entertained
during their stay in this city and the
function yesterday was q delightful
climax to the festivities.
The hosts stood with Comdr. Louis
Malbera, commander OF the ship, to
greet the guests upon their arrival In
the pleasant air-conditioned ballroom
OF the Mayfiower Hotel The impos-
ing Argentine flag, with its two stripes
OF blue and one of white, the latter
centered with the gold sun symbol Of
the South American Republic, was
hung conspicuously with the stars and
stripes of the United States. The
floral center piece on the long table
laid near the center of the room fit
tingly carrying out the color scheme
OF the Argentine flag. In fact, blue
and gold were much in evidence for
as the guests arrived they were pre-
sented with hat band in these colors
with the name of the Argentine train
ing ship in gold letters in the center.
Some OF the guests tied the bands
around their arms while others ar
ranged them around their necks.

first honors with the midshipmen and
the bevy of pretty young girls who
defied the summers heat and danced

Silver Tray at Party.
The young people, however, did
leave their dancing for a brief time
to witness an impressive ceremony
which took place near the closing
hour of the fete. Capt. Washington
Perry de Almeida, who brought his
ship, the Almirante Saldanho, the
Brazilian training vessel, to Washing
ton for visit last month, came down
from New York for the party yester-
day to present to Comdr. Malerba,
the honor guest of the occasion, a
silver tray as a gift from the Almi-
rante Sandanho to the Presidente Sar-
mineto. He made a charming speech
when he presented the token from
his ship to the Argentine boat. Comdr.
Malbera responded in the words of
a famous President of his country,
Everything unites us, nothing sepa-
rates U.S."

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

People often call one period in
the earth's history "the Coal Age"
but that Is not in every way a good
name. At that time there wasn't
any coal anywhere!
The reason for the name is simply
this: The earth's soil was then
largely covered with plants which
died and later turned into coal. AS
We study the earth's rocks, we find
certain layers which contain vast
amounts Of coal In some cases
these layers are more than mile
deep.
In what we may call "the Age of
Coal-making Plants" there was a
more plentiful growth of plants
than at any time before or since.
Millions and millions of ferns and
fern-like trees might have been
found In an area of a few square
miles. Tree ferns grew to heights
of more than so feet.
There also were club MOSES of
gigantic kind, in fact, we might
call them moss trees" They had
trunks as much as five feet thick,
and grew to heights of rs to 100
feet. Hardly less strange to us are
certain rushes of that time. with
stems foot thick and with heights
of so to 80 feet.
In the midst of this vast mass of
plant life. insects hummed or buz-
zed about. There were crickets,
cockroaches, locusts, scorpions and
land snails. There also were fish,
like reptiles which spent their time
partly on land, partly in the water.
They were four or five feet long,

the dead plants were attacked by
microbes. and this seems to have
done something to turn it into ma
terial which would burn we'll.
The land rose and fell, sometimes
being under water, sometimes high
above water. Volcanoes burst forth
and covered much ground with lava
which hardened into stone. Layers
OF mud formed shale rock as the
ages passed.
Scientists tell us that millions of
years have gone by since the beds
of plant matter were la4 down.
The pressure of rock, and other
causes, have turned it into coal.
Today we have beds of coal on
every continent of the earth. North
America is the largest coal-produc-
ing continent of all. Coal exists in
every province of Canada, and the
United States leads all other nations
in the amount of coal mined each
year-about 600,00000O tons on the
average. Pennsylvania is the chief
coal mining State, and has the
greatest hard coal beds in the world.

Broin TwizzIers
By PROF. j. d. FLINT.

Alas and alack. it's a story of a
shattered love affair. She was
winsome miss in her teens, he a ro-
bust young fellow a few years older.
Sad fate had taken him to another
city, too far away to see her except
once in a great while, and time had
done too good job of erasing the
beautiful memory of her from his
mind. For along time he. had writ
ten her love letters that held their
dream together. but they had be-
come few and far between. Finally
the letters stopped altogether and
she. worried over his welfare. asked

the police if they could find him.
The police, seeking clues, asked for
every bit OF information about him
that she could give. She described
his height, weight. appearance, even
showed them the letters he had writ
ten. She loved the color combina-
ton of the red stamp and the blue
stationery. He always wrote on blue
stationery. She even told the police
how handsome he was and how we'll
he danced, etc, ETC., until they got
little tired of that and gave her the
sad news that they expected him of
being in town at the minute and
that he had been there for some
time. Did the police know some-
thing the girl didn't or is there a clue
in the story?

NEW YORK, March 5.-An appeal
for governmental cooperation with

address Of Lawrence B. Cummings,
former member Of the Mortgage Com
mission Of the State Of New York, de-
livered at the annual Spring Savings
Conference Of the American Bankers
Association at the Hotel Roosevelt here

quirements for a Mortgage Market in

Mr.. Cummings stated that there are
"curbs on the demand for mortgage
money that are not the result Of
planned regulation. Today, one Of the
most potent Of these Is the sudden in
crease in wages reflected both n the
production Of building material and
the cost of construction ITSELF" he said.

prices in industry" he remarked, but

disturbed. happy concept If it does

AIDS Of ARCHITECT
CITED IN LEAFLET
Institute Trying to Bring
Service Within Reach of
Small Home Owner.

The functions Of the architect are
explained In q leaflet issued by the
Committee on Public Information Of
the American Institute of Architects,
of which William Orr Ludlow Is chair
man. Cooperating with other groups
in the building industry to develop q
national program Of housing, the
institute is trying to bring architec-
tural service within the reach OF the
small home owner.
The committee lists the following
eight reasons for employing an archi-
tect rather than buying q ready-made
home or building without the services
Of an architect:
Most people know that the busi-
ness OF designing and constructing a
bridge needs an engineer; in illness
one needs a doctor; in legal matters,
lawyer. A building with its infinite
variety Of modern facilities for COM
fort and health and its claim for
beauty needs the architect.
THE architect has expert knowledge
Of building materials and construction
methods ana now best TO plan Tor
the installation Of plumbing. heating,
lighting and insulation.
"A building is better investment
If we'll planned and attractive in ap-
pearance Only the trained architect
can make 1t so.
1T needs no argument that the
owners interests are best served by
the architect who has devoted years
to special training for his work and
therefore must be more intelligently
qualified than the man with other In
terests. obligations and training

AIR.CONDITI0NING
FACTOR IN HEALTH
Purity of Air Is Pictured as New
Standard. Not as a
Luxury.

Air conditioning is largely matter
of comfort and happiness and is more
closely allied to health than to luxury,
despite public belief to the contrary.
DR.. c. P. Yaglou of the Harvard School
of Public Health declared in talk at
the General Electric Air Conditioning
Institute in New York. DR.. Yaglou
pointed out that air conditioning's aid
in combating fatigue and disease was
not so much a direct attack as it was
strengthening of natural physical
processes.
Among the important environ

ing the influence Of these factors, al
though the magnitude Of response
varies enormously from person to per-

THE importance Of air conditioning
varies considerably in different per-
sons and cannot be directly evaluated
in terms Of health, partly because we
have no satisfactory health criteria
and partly because there are many CO.
existing influences unrelated to air
conditioning that are difficult to con-
troll. At the present stage of our

merely avoiding discomfort, but we
demand the same standards of purity

Judge Asks Lawyers to Refrain From Calling
 Members to Testify

Commenting that the workers of the Waterbury Diocesan bureau are busy enough in their daily routine, without being called into court to offer testimony in litigations, Judge Frank P. McEvoy in superior court today asked that counsel refrain from this practice as much as pos Sible.
 The majority of cases in which Diocesan workers have been asked to testify involve marital and home difficulties, usually a hearing on a support matter Opposing counsel in such a case this morning informed Judge McEvoy that he might bring a Diocesan worker to court for the purpose of obtaining further tes- timony, but Judge McEvoy said it would not be necessary.

 Started In Cellar
 Starting in the cellar, the fire swept up through the side walls of the building. Bremen had to rip out large portions of the inside walls to get at the flames. After spreading through the cellar the fire climbed to the upper floors in several places.
 The fire was discovered by Mrs. Pape, after smoke had filtered through the house. An alarm was rung in from Box 86, and four com panies of firemen responded at l2:07 D. m. Chief Thomas Cava- naugh was in charge.
 RedecOrated
 Alterations on the house had been completed only short time ago. The interior of the dwelling had been redecorated, the task taking several months.
 Bremen removed much of the furniture from the house. Most Of the water damage was confined to the cellar, but there was much smoke damage.
