Corcoron Cadet Corps Marks
63d Anniversary Tomorrow

The Corcoran Cadet Corps-a bit
older but as proud as ever-will
go marching back through the cor
ridors of time tomorrow night for
its SD anniversary conclave.
So many years have passed since
the gaily attired cadets of pre-Span-
ish-American War days paraded,
that most of the los survivors would
rather not count them. But the
yarns they'll spin at the knights
of Columbus Hall will be as fresh
as they were in the gay nineties
and in some respects, more imagi-
native.
Organized in 1883.
The Corcoran Cadets were only
one of the score or so drill COM
panies which sprang up in the
latter decades of the 18th century
Dressed in dazzling uniforms, they
strutted skillfully in competition
with all who would choose them.
They were organized February
26, 1883, by Capt. C. Eugene Ed
wards, but it was not long before
w. w. Corcoran, the builder and
philanthropist, took the cadets
under his wing and helped finance
their enterprises.
What started as purely competi-
tive drill organization became a
vital cog in the National Guard
when it was organized in 1887.
Known as Company A of the 1st
Battalion, many of the cadets were
to serve not many years later in
the Spanish-American War.
One of the high spots of the
cadets earlier days came when
President Cleveland contrived to
equip them with rifles.
Six Charter Members to Attend.
Among those who will join in the
buffet supper and gabfest tomorrow
night are six surviving charter
members, Maj. Charles A. Never
present commander; Foster A. Luce
w. H. Groverman, w. H. Davis, j
B. Corridor and George A. Howe.
The tales they will tell will be
many and varied-of battlefield feats
and parades down Pennsylvania
avenue. When the latter are told
some one is certain to recall how

Health Inspections
In Parks Resumed

Continual surveillance of sani-
tary conditions in Washington
parks by United States Public
Health Service officials has been
resumed, Harry Thompson, assist
ant superintendent of National
Capital Parks, said yesterday.
During the war, Mr.. Thompson
said, it became necessary for the
t.talth service to divert its man.
power into other channels and to
forego inspections of park condi-
tions which might threaten public
health.
During the war, he said, park
employees continued to keep the
parks clean and to trap and gas
rats, but there was no professional
personnel to determine where
health danger spots were develop
ing.
From now on, he said, drinking
fountains, toilets, washrooms, eat
ing facilities on lease to conces-
SionaireS, hitching rails for horses,
picnic areas, shelter houses and
water courses will be under con-
slant scrutiny.
Inspections will be made at fixeS
intervals The fact that an eat
ing concession is visited this week
won't mean that it won't be visited
next week, Mr.. Thompson said.

did. He uttered more epigrams
and sententious sentences than
any other man who ever spoke
or wrote.
Public men have always
striven to say things in a catchy,
easy-to-remember, epigrammatic
way, but all the politicians who
have practiced since Plato pre-
pared his handbook on politics
have not succeeded in making
as many wise and memorable ut
! terances as did Christ in the three
short years of His ministry on
earth. A reading of Christ's par
ables, recorded in Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, the Ser
mon on the Plains, and the Ser
mon on the Mount, will show
that He said more sense in a
few words than any other per-
son who ever lived.
Christ drew larger crowds
than any other speaker who ever
spoke, until sound simplifying
systems came into use in recent
years. He spoke to a crowd OF
F"about five thousand men" in a
desert place" mark 6:32, 4D.
Great multitudes followed him.

lowed him great multitudes OF
people from Galilee, and from
Decapolis, and from Jerusalem,
! and from Judea, and from be-
yond Jordan" Matthew 4:25).
No other person, ancient or
| modern, has ever held such a
spell over his hearers. Christ had
a genius for speech that has not
been equaled by any other per-
son. He was the supreme Orator
of all ages.
In thirty-three years of life on
earth, in the guise and likeness
of mortal man, subject to all i'm
| firmities of the flesh, armed only
with kindness and love, and ar
unrivaled gift of speech, Christ
did more lasting good than al
the warriors and statesmen who
have saddened and gladdeneo
the world since time began.
We reverently celebrated the
anniversary of His birth not only
because He was divine but also
because He was the greatest ano
best Man who ever lived.

Very Truly Yours
BY SENATOR CLAUDE PEPPER

Dear Friends:
Recently / attended the Gaines
vile Kiwanis Club for lunch and
then addressed the student body
at University of Florida in the
evening. We had good attend
ance of at least 1000. After my
address we had an. interesting
question period when I invited
the audience to ask questions.
After the meeting the American
Veterans Committee, which ear
lier in the evening had given a
very delightful banquet in our
honor and arranged the whole
program at the University, also
gave very enjoyable reception
at the Student Union building,
which was also well attended by
students and members of the
faculty.
We next went to Miami Beach
and attended the Southern Gov
ernors' conference as guest of
Governor and Mrs. Caldwell, who
| were hosts to the conference.
Governors Warren of California,
Martin of Pennsylvania, Dewey of
New York were among governors
from out of the South who at
tended. The two governors who
attracted the greatest interest
were Governor Dewey and 6 feet
8 inch tall Governor-elect jim
Folsom of Alabama. Miami
Beach, Miami, the beautiful
Roney Plaza and sea isle hotels
and Governor and Mrs. Caldwell
won the hearts of all and also in
valuable Goodwill for Florida by
the perfect hospitality which they
extended. Of great interest to
Florida and the South was the
determination of the southern
governors to carry on the fight
which they and the southern de-
legation in he congress have beer
waging and which is nearing vic
tory for fair freight rates for the
South.

their families totaling nearly a
thousand. The Harvey Seeds Post
also provides cafeteria where
meals are served at cost, a post
office, nursery, recreation hall
and other facilities. The legion
has accomplished marvels with

It is pathetic, however, to see

the Congress reconvenes l am 60

CATION of the whole Veterans
Housing program and do my best

afford to all veterans decent
homes at prices within their abil-

nation which could achieve the
greatest production record in his

not or will not provide homes
for the men and women who won
that war and survived it.
We had a most interest

Melbourne at the annual Brevard
County Fair. This year the fair
was put on by American Legion
Post No. 81 and they did a great
job in exhibiting the rich and
varied resources and products of

outstanding and the poultry ex-
hibit was the best ! have ever
seen anywhere.

 Attorneys Walter Torrance a-d Henry Campbell, who repfesent the Waterbury Trust Company. executor of the will, were reported in confer ence al morning, and could not be reached for comment on their plans in the case. They have 24 hours from then time of the verdict to file a motion to have it set aside.
 With the will overruled, Miss Helen Stoddard and Mrs. Helen Crichton stand to gain nothing from the estate. Miss Stoddard. q former Sunday school pupil of Mrs. Clark, and Mrs. Cricllton, her housekeep- CT, were the chief beneficiaries.
