To thousands of veterans of the
Spanish American and the World
Wars Mrs. William S. Spencer, for
AZ years a volunteer worker in the
American Red Cross, is affection
ately known as Mother" Spencer.
Identified with every branch of
the activities of the American Red
Cross except its Braille work for
the blind she has never received a
penny for her services.
First affiliated with Red Cross ac-
tivities under Clara Barton she is
now undertaking new labor OF
love for it as chairman of the Can
teen Corps Of the District of Co.
lumbia Chapter. In this capacity
she is directing the new cafeteria
in the basement of the District
chapter so that hundreds of volun-
tiers in its workrooms may obtain
a light lunch and thus have more
time for their tasks.
With the present war making in
creasingly heavy demands upon the
Districts quota Of garments and
surgical dressings and necessitating
longer hours of work upon the part
of the volunteers this cafeteria serves
over 1900 lunches week.
Does All the Marketing.
Mother Spencer has charge of
all marketing and plans the menus
and supervises other details.
Mrs Spencer insists credit for the
success of this new venture upon the
part of the Red Cross, belongs to
her vice chairman, Miss Alice Clapp,
the good angel" back of the ven-
ture, whose personal generosity has
made possible the fitting up of the
present canteen headquarters and
the purchase of dishes and kitchen
equipment.
The canteen corps. Mrs. Spencer
said, was started during the World
War, with Mrs. Larz Anderson as
chairman of the District chapter. A
section of it worked in the train
sheds at the Union Station, provid-
ing refreshments to the expedition
ary forces of our Army passing
through Washington.
Among those whom Mrs. Spencer
remembers as untiring members Of
this canteen corps group are Mrs.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. then
the wife of the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy; Mrs. Horatio Alger,
wife of the Secretary of War, and
Mrs. James M. Helm, now the social
secretary at the White House.
In the event of our involvement
in war" Mrs. Spencer says, "the
canteen corps would Immediately be
ready for similar emergency serv-
ice"
Her own first service with troops
began during the Spanish -Ameri-
can War, when the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union was the first
organization to open recreational
rooms for enlisted men at 918 F
street, and invited other agencies to
aid it in this cause.
Won Medals for Deeds.
For her good Offices in saving the
life of an enlisted man at the
Washington Barracks during this
period, she is the recipient of a
gold medal, as she is of a service
medal from the American Red
Cross for her 2,400 hours of can
teen duty at the Union Station dur
ing the World War.

when membership is under consider

Founded on December 5, l776, at
the College of William and Mary
in Williamsburg, Va, it was the
first "Greek-letter" society. How
ever, in 1881, when there was much
popular agitation against all secret
societies, secrecy was relinquished.
Another change was from the So
cial to purely honor society.
$4,000 Living Members.
At the centennial of the Harvard
Chapter in 1881, there were only 20
active chapters. Two years later
the first Council Of the United
Chapters was held and in the past
so years the number of chapters
has reached 1872. At the present
time there are approximately $4,000
living members.

Jinx at Lost
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON,
Consolidated News Features.


NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Today no
doubt will be the first reallv happy
birthday that william S. Hart, turn
ing 70, has had in many years.
The cowboy Aim star pulls
through a long stretch Of desper-
ately hard luck into p serene eighth
decade. The Los Angeles courts
have completely exonerated him in
the scandal manufactured by
Boston school teacher in 1919--a
scandal which bhghted his movie
career, but never stopped his fan
mail, which still comes in.
Last May, the New York Court Of
Appeals gave him a judgment for
s288,000 in suit against the United
Artists Corp. involving the distri-
button OF his last film, Tumble
weed" This litigation had been in
the courts IA years.
At his San Francisquita ranch in
the Tehachipi Mountains in Cali
fornia, years and hard work have
repaired the damage done by the
great flood of 1928, which all but
ruined his land and live stock. So
at last the long lane has a turning
and Mr.. Harts multitude of friends
fervently hope that he has roped
and hog-tied his last jinx.
First Role Was Romeo.
The f1int-eyed, dead-pan two-gun
man of the movies played Romeo as
one Of his first roles. That's an
oddity, and more so is the fact that
he rode a chariot before he ever
rode horse Oldtimers with long
memories remember him as Messala,
IN Ben Hur, away back near the
start of his career.
He grew up in Newburgh, N. Y, on
the Hudson River, a placid town,
with never a bad man in sight.
There he rode boats, but never
horses. He was 10 when he arrived
in New York, to make a drive for
the theater after a few amateur
workouts. His earlier successes were
Shakespearean roles.
He was a transplanted Westerner
several years before he entered
the silent movies in 1914, as the star

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-R-The
highest wheat prices in about two
months were posted on board of
trade blackboards around noon to-
day at the crest of an advance of
almost two cents a bushel.
Wheat traders, following the
trend of securities and s~tiffenins
prices in other commodities attrib-
uted to the national defense pro-
gram increased purchases. Bro
kers said recent progress of the
war and the Churchill speech ac-
counted for some encouragement
and they attributed most of the
buying to milling and elevator in
terests as well as deaers covering
previous short sales or charging
speculative accounts.
Profit taking attracted by the 10
cents advance since mid-August
when the years lows were estab-
llshed pared the gains but closing
prices were SO to l IA cents high

Lifting of hedges by elevators
selling cash wheat to the federal
crop insurance agency, which Vas
investing premium payments in ac-
cordance with law, added to the
buying. While this buying was not
on a large scale it came, at a time
when cash wheat premiums were
strengthened by consumptive de-
mand in the face of heavy storing
OF grain under the loan program.
Traders said the operations of the
insurance agency will add Just that
much to the amount of grain held
off the commercial market. Prices
are still several cents below loan
rates at Chicago and this is true
at most terminals.

Will be made on September con-

When a partnership is dissolved
