serve the community In useful
capacity and also be charming
hostess. A glance at the list of
founders of some of Washington's
most worthy institutions, however,
reveals the names of many socially
prominent hostesses whose time and
energy have been given without stint.
! One of these Is Mrs. Henry l..
Leonard, whose activities have been
many and whose interest has never
tagged. She is stately and gracious,
and the charm that radiates from
a warm friendliness has made her
leader of distinction in exclusive
resident society. Her home has been
the scene Of countless smart social
events, and it also has witnessed the
foundation-laying of more than one
commendable project.
/ Enumeration of more than
couple of Mrs. Leonard's welfare ac-
tivities would be cumbersome. Hos
pital boards, churches, orphanages,
recreational organizations and other
groups have benefited from her
services One of her achievements
Of which she can be justly proud is
the founding, practically single
handed, Of the Child Welfare Socie-
4ty at a time when only few people
recognized the necessity for such a
service. 1t now is perhaps the oldest
unit in the overall welfare system
OF operation.
Another outstanding venture was
the founding, with Mrs. Fairfax
Harrison, Of the Potomac School.
Glasses opened in a little green
house on Dupont Circle, and upon
outgrowing its small quarters the
school u10ped to the former home OF
Col. walker at Eighteenth and NJ
stFeets. From there it was trans
feffed to its present location on
California Street and now is so over
crowded that a move to the country
is being considered
st. Johns Orphanage also is close
to Mrs. Leonard, who gives to it the
same interest and support that in
former years was contributed by her
father and mother.
Then, there's the Flower Mart, to
mention just one more. The sue
cess of last weeks affair on the Pill
grim Steps at the National Cathe-
dral Of st. Peter and st. Paul was
another annual in procession OF
marts for which Mrs. Leonard and
other ladies Of All Hallows' Guild
laid the groundwork.
An afternoon visit with Mrs.
Leonard is like a short. restful va
cation. The beautiful home in
Georgetown which she and her hus-
band, the late Mai. Leonard, pur-
chased after the Great War, reflects

Capital society is making its sum-
mer plans despite the present cold
weather. Mrs. Edward Everett
Gam usually goes to New England
in the late summer and remains

more of the very hot summer Her
plans for this year will follow those
of the past.
Mrs. Gam will have a visit from
her niece, Mrs. Charles P. George,
early in June Mrs. George, widow
of Brig. Gen. George, U. S. A, makes
her home in San Antonio and has
frequent visits from her son, Capt.
Curtis George, U. S. A, now an in
structor at Fort Sill. She is visit
ing her son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Humphries,
and their small daughter, Ann Cur
tbs Humphries, in their home in
Memphis on her way to Washington.
Little Ann was named not only for
her own mother, but for her great
grandmother, the late Mrs. Charles
Curtis, whose husband served not
only in both houses of Congress but
was Vice President with President
Herbert Hoover.
Mrs. Webster Knight II, sister of
Mrs. George, who makes her home
in Providence. moved to her sum-
mer home at Warwick Neck last
week with Mr.. Knight and their
family. Mrs. knight formerly was
Miss Leona Curtis and Mrs. George
was Miss Pamela Curtis. popular
daughters of the late Mr.. Curtis,
for so many years in official life of
the Capital.
Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont,
wife of the former Secretary of
Commerce during the Hoover ad-
ministration, will remain in her at
tractive country place, the Beech
Tree, In nearby Virginia. Ever since
she sold the Lamont house on
Kalorarna road to Mrs. Gilbert M.
Hitchcock, she has lived in Virginia.
Up to the time of the gasoline short
age she had a charming farm near
Purcellville, but when she had no
one to drive the car and no gaso-
line she sold the farm and moved
into smaller place at Falls Church.
A year or more ago she settled her
self at the Beech Tree on the Old
Dominion road, easily accessible to
the Nations Capital.
Mrs. william N. Doak, widow of
the Secretary of Labor, also in the
Hoover administration, stays close
to Notre Mid, their home on the
cliff above Chain Bridge. She will
have with her there toward the end
of the month Miss Mildred Rupert,

Fear was expressed that the
boundaries of the National Park
would include part of Key Largo,
and the waters in which Monroe
fishermen now get a large
amount of their commercial fish
and sponges.
Maps of the proposed bopn-
diaries were displayed at the
commission meeting. On one of
them the boundary was shown
to include half of Key Largo,
and all of the lower keys down
to Tavernier. It was shown to
include all of the northern and
western edges Of Monroe.
Letters sent in protest to The
Citizen and J. Frank Roberts,
county assistant tax assessor,
were read before the commission.
In the letters War Axelson, Coral
Gables economist, pointed out
that many keys and 100000 acres
in northern Monroe county were
included in the bill now before
Congress.
Commissioner w. A. Parrish,

Robert Koch

Before considering modern means
of dealing with tuberculosis, it is
well to consider the life of the sci
enlist who discovered the germ
causing tuberculosis, thus making
possible our fight to conquer it.
Robert Koch was one of the
great scientific doctors of the
world and a great benefactor to
mankind He was born December
II, 1843 in Germany. AS lad he
had desire to explore the secrets
of nature. Toward the end of his
college course at the University of
Gottingen, Koch won first prize in
a contest based on the original in
vestigation of a scientific subject.
After graduation in January, 1866,
he secured a post in a hospital in
Hamburg. Later he moved to
Rakwitz. During the Franko-Prus-
sian War he was an army surgeon.
After the war he was appointed
district physician. Koch, upon re-
ceiving a microscope, worked to
find if tiny living being were the
cause of communicable diseases.
He discovered the process of de-
velopment of the anthrax bacillus
after long, careful study. In 1880
Koch was appointed a member of
the Imperial Health Bureau in Ber-
lin. He now had more time to
study. Koch hit on a method to
grow pure cultures. 1t practically
revolutionized the study of bacter-
iology. Koch was always a hard
worker, but he never worked so
hard as in the years in, which he
hunted for the tubercle bacillus. In
1882, after long and difficult study
he announced his discovery of the
bacillus which causes tuberculosis

MIXED MARRIAGES
FR0WNED UPON
Ministers Who Visited
Troops In Germany
Make Report

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-tN-
The small clubs operated by
American soldiers in occupied
Germany were condemned by
two touring clergymen today as
"breeding spots of immortality"
and "rotten dives"
The first description came
from the Rev. August M. Hintz
of the First Baptist church in
Sioux Falls, S. D.; the second
was supplied by DR.. Stewart
Robinson, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church of Eliza
beth, N. j., and vice chairman
of the General Commission on
chaplains.
The comments were contained
in their reports to the Army on
a 35-day tour of the occupied
zones by a group of IA Ameri-
can clergymen. Five other
members of the group had re-
ported previously.
DR.. Robinson said the clubs
"should either have close super
vision or be closed" He noted
that these small company unit
clubs have nothing to do with
the "excellently rum canteens
operated by the army special
services and the Red Cross.
"They (the small unit clubs)
are undoubtedly fruitful sources
for the spread of disease and
represent a curious revenge on
the part of the vanguished over
the victors," DR. Robinson de-
clared. "What the soldiers of
Germany could not do, the
women may succeed in doing"
Mr.. Hintz said careful study
should be made of the problem
of CT marriages with German
girls, commenting tn a t cit
seems to me that the chaplains
ought to have complete and
final authority on these
matters.
"Also," he wrote, II feel that
very special investigation ought
to be made of the cases where
the girls wish to marry Ameri-
can negroes. Although I believe
| that the Negro troopS Shmlld
have the same liberties as white
troops, l am sure that many
very difficult problems are like
ly to arise if the Negro comes
to America with German
bride, problems that will make
it very difficult for them ever
to have a peaceful, happy home
here.
