The retirement of Senor Jaen
Guardia is very much regretted
in Washington, but he has con-
templated returning to his home
for some time because of i'll
health.
Another change in the head of
a diplomatic mission will take
effect tomorrow when the re-
tiring Costa Rican Minister, DR..
Don Luis Fernandez and Sonora
de Fernandez will leave to return
to Costa Rica. DR.. Fernandez,
like Senor Jaen Guardia, has
given up his diplomatic work be-
cause Of i'll health and in his
place will come an ambassador.
Although they will start south
ward tomorrow it will be several
weeks before DR.. and Sonora de
Fernandez reach Costa Rica, for
they viii visit in Cuba and
Panama en- route. DR.. Fernandez
had planned to retire before the
legation, was raised to an en-
bassy, and the new representa-
tive of that country, Senor Car
los Manuel Escalante, will come
with ambassadorial credentials.
The newly appointed Ambas-

years the members of the service

with great effort, but steadily and
progressively, that it not only is
possible but entirely feasible for
every American to receive the
best that medicine has to offer.
The life of Mrs. Breckenridge has
been fascinating one. Her IA

the United States Ambassador to
Russia at the time of Alexander

in Russia, then went to school In
Switzerland and visited in Eng
land for several summers. She
became trained nurse in time to
do war nursing in World War No.

England. After the war she joined
Miss Anne Morgan's unit in
France, returning to this country
in 1921.

members of the Frontier service.
They are young women between
the ages of l8 and 25, drawn from

Minister at this Capital during

Czechoslovak Legation to the au-
thority Of the German Embassy
here and maintained that his
orders would come from his own
government and no other. And
he and Nine. Hurban, American
born, are still there.
The party last evening was de-
lightfully informal and a surprise
to the honor guest. His colleagues
at the Legation presented him
with an excellent small radio re-
ceiving set, well equipped with
short wave reception. which will
be particularly useful to him as
he listens to the propaganda
broadcast from Europe through
the early morning hours, though
it is far into the night in WASH

affectionately inscribed and en-
graved with the signatures of
each of the members of the staff

DR.. Hurban is the son of the
prominent Czechoslovak writer,
Svetozar Hurban Vajansky,
whose novels and poetry were
helpful in sustaining the national
consciousness of the Slovak peo-
pie during Hungarian domination
through the second half of the
10Th century. The Minister'S
grandfather, Josef Miloslav Hur-
ban, was one of the Slovak leaders
who with Czech volunteers or
ganized an uprising against the

intellectual environment of his
fathers home he became a writer.
He contributed articles to his
local newspaper which at that
time was the first and best Slovak
paper. He also wrote short

Independents File Sanitation Beef

Sharply dissatisfied with con- ditions and failure of the Company to keep it's promise about correct ing them, the Independent Union has made a formal complaint to the State Department of Labor about sanitation conditions at the plant and has demanded immediate action by the department.
 For six or seven months the Special Sanitation Committee un- der the leadership of c. Roland Bishop and Harold Cruise, have attempted to obtain improvements. The Company did very little and the Committee is especially dis pleased with the absence of any facilities on the Wet Dock where hundreds of men have to go to the already greatly over taxed big machine shop. Tn addition the Company has not eliminated all outside urinals and the sewage dis posal is exceptionally poor
 The Union looks for action by the State Department of Labor without further delay.

Honor Outstanding FEB Submarine Man Edwin B. Wheeler

Employees of the shipyard of- ficeS and mold lofts of the Nelse- co Plant honored an outstanding submarine man when they elected Edwin B. Wheeler, shipbuilding manager, to name the sponsor for the submarine "DARTER" which will be launched soon. The exact date of the launching cannot be announced until later, under Navy regulations.
 MT. Wheeler, who became an em- ployee of the company in 1902. selected his wife, Mrs. Anna Louise Wheeler, to be the sponsor.
 With the company since that time except for a period fl om 1909 to 1912 when he was with other ship yards, MT. Wheeler has had a prom inent part in the advancement of submarines. He was leader in advancing the use of welding in submarine construction.
 The election was the second in series of 19 under special privileges granted by the Navy Department. Drawings of other departments for sponsorship privileges will be held soon.

Admiral Christie's
 Mother Present At COrvina Launching

It was a particularly thrilling moment for Mrs. w. M. Christie of White Plains, N. Y, when the sub marine "CORVINA" slid into the waters of the Thames River in a North Yard launching. Mrs. Christie is the mother of Rear Ad- miral Ralph w. Christie, U. s. N., commander of submarines in the Southwest Pacific.
 She saw her daughter-in-law the wife of the Rear Admiral break a bottle of champagne across the "CORVINA'S" bow as the sub marine started down the ways.
 Mrs. Christie is of advanced age, but she is active and is particularly interested in the submarine service, in which her son has spent most of his Navy career.
 It was the first launching she had witnessed, and the maiden dip of the "CORVINA" was to her par ticularly inspiring sight. She saw in this and other Electric Boat Company submarines increasing strength for the United States sub marine fleet which is carrying the war to the enemy.
 Arthur D. Barnes, personnel manager, was host at the launching. There were no special ceremonies, but the Electric Boat Band pre- sented a concert. Employees and members of their families were in attendance.

 rectly responsible for this. When the raise went into effect last June the Union distinctly pointed out that these general increases were not to displace or interfere with any merited individual increases. As result thousands of individual increases went into effect during the last six month of 1922. The exact number was 7,740 and repre- scented practically 80% of the en- tire working force.
 Proven Facts and Figures
 These are facts and figures which can be proven. Moreover, under the provisions of the contract of the Independent Union every ap- proved change in rate must reach the pay envelope within four weeks after it has been initiated by the foreman and made retroac- tive to within two weeks after it was started. The various repre- sentatives of the Union handle the rate changes with the foremen and If they are not satisfactorily strengthened out then the Execu- tive Committee takes over.
 The facts and figures show that the Independent Union is strongly behind all those who are behind it.
