leader as the foremost companion
the friend who may have had
rather more experience, the friend
who believes in the dignity of
human nature and its undefeated
possibilities" In conclusion, Mr..
Jennings said:
And so my hope is that the
spirit of the Cosmopolitan Club will
encourage leaders to grow in this
city who will be friends-the fore
most companions-of those who are
younger than themselves and will
introduce them to the Joy, the fun,
the adventure of service, always
remembering that service is the

Coleman Jennings Is Given
Cosmopolitan Clubs '39 Medal
Chest President Gets Award As the Citizen
Performing Most Outstanding Service to City

Before a distinguished gather
ing, Coleman Jennings, president OF
the Washington Community Chest,
yesterday was presented the Co.'S
mopolitan Clubs Distinguished
Service Medal for 1889 "as the citi-
zen of Washington who performed
the most outstanding unselish serv-
ice for the city during the year
1882"
The presentation was made at a
luncheon of the club in the Carlton
Hotel. Mr.. Jennings work among
youth, which has attained interna-
tional scope, and his service as head
of the Community Chest, were con-
sidered in choosing him for the
award. A hand embossed certifi-
cate, citing his services, was pre-
sented with the medal.
DR.. j. Rozier Biggs, chairman of
the clubs Distinguished Service
Medal Committee, who made the
presentation, declared:
''The man we are to honor today
has given freely of his thought,
time. ability and finances to bring
relief to the underprivileged - to
help them to help themselves.
"As president of the Community
Chest he has done yeoman work
for which he receives no financial
compensation. He has founded
youth clubs in this city, throughout
the country. and even in England.
He has always been interested in
youth and its problems, which is
probably why he travels from 10000
to $4,000 miles annually, at his own
expense, to address youth groups
and to forward this movement" DR.,
Biggs likewise referred to Mr.. Jen-
nings' interest in the penal institu-
ton at OccoQuan and the National
Training School for Girls.
Award Is Presented.
Turning to Mr.. Jennings, DR..
Biggs then said:
"Mr. Jennings, because of the
numerous sacrifices of your thought,
time and finances; because of your
unselfish efforts to benefit the
people of Washington by founding
youth clubs; because of your eX-
cellent work as president of the
Community Chest, and because OF
your many anonymous charities, the
Cosmopolitan Club designates you
as the citizen of Washington who
performed the most outstanding un-
selfish service for the city during
the year 1899.
"T, therefore, deem it a pleasure
and an honor to present to you the
Cosmopolitan Clubs Distinguished
Service Medal and citation"
Acknowledging the tribute, Mr..
Jennings told the club that lit is a
most gracious act which you an
nually perform. "
II am deeply honored to be listed
with the distinguished Washing
tonians who previously have re-
ceived this medal I am profoundly
grateful this medal and citation are
going to be among my most
cherished possessions"

somewhat angered at the question,

Vice President Garner said mo
comment" when he was questioned
about the statement of Julius F.
Smietanka, Chicago attorney, that
he would enter the Texans name in
the Illinois Democratic presidential
primary.
Mr.. Gamers friends, however, in
dicated that he had known pre-
viously that his name would be put
up. They said Mr.. Garner felt he
should hold to his usual policy OF
entering his name in States which
did not have favorite son candi-

Springfield at 4 pm. to enter the
Texan in the contest. Accompany
ing him, he said, would be Col.
William M. Bannon, Chicago
businessman, and Emil Hurja of
Washington, publisher of the Path
finder.
Mr.. Smietanka said Mr.. Hurja
was formerly an analyst for the
Democratic National Committee,
who came very close to predicting
the Roosevelt vote in the 1886 elec-.
ton.
The attorney disclosed that Mr.
Hurja had made an analysis of Mr..
Garner's chances in presidential
campaign and that the study showed
they we're excellent"
In substance, the study indicated
that the trend was away from Presi-

trend is still in that direction"
