Myers parted with $1,500, is charged in an indictment for false pretenses | reported against Solomon I Gurney by the grand jury today. Gurney, it is alleged, represented to Myers that the stock of the Metal Cap and Seal Company was selling for $10 per share and that the company had paid a dividend. Assistant United States At- torney Bilbrey, who investigated the case, stated that the president of the company declared that the stock on { the market was bringing only $§1.25 { per share, { This is one of the transactions which caused Eugene E. Thompson, foreman of the grand jury, to invite a num- ber of the leading business men of ! Washington to a conrerence with the {grand ury recently, at which was dis- | cussed nieans for putting an end to {the scliing of wildcat securities.

Four Last of Fleet Named After Civil War Generals to Go. Five old Army transports, the Sherman, Logan, Sheridan, Buford and Crook, will be sold at auction. Their sale marks the passing of the famous fleet named for civil war generals which has done great serv- ice for the Army during the past forty years. These vessels carried virtually all the troops sent to Cuba and Porto Rico during the Spanish war and those afterward sent to the Philip- pines, Hawall and the Panama Canal Zone, and also assisted in the tran, portation of troops and supplies to France during the world war. TO JOIN GENERAL STAFF. Lieut. Col. Frederic P. Schoonmaker, Infantry Officers’ Reserve Corps, has been detailed as & member of the War taft, Department general s “Hooverized”; Plan for U. S.l der the auspices of the American Child Hygiene Association, of which Mr. Hoover is president. Belglan children, Armenian children, bolshevist children must feel just a tiny bit jealous at this announcement. Their noses will be put slightly out of joint.- You know how {t is when a new baby appears in a family. But those children overseas, whose little empty stomachs have been filled under Hoover's direction, are far too grate- ful ever to harbor any really vin- dictive emotions of this sort. Hoover and babies are apparently natural affinities. Eight years ago he had the responsibility of directing the organization and administration in special support required by some two million Infants and children. Through four long years of war, fam- ine and since the armistice he min- istered to a horde of 6,000.000 chil- dren in central and eastern Europe. During the hard Russian winter of last_year the children of the soviet received attention at his hands. “I have been brought close to the great tragedies of child life in a great laboratory of mass action,” he admits. Child Benefactor. Herbert Hoover has, indeed, had the opportunity of becoming the great child benefactor of the world. There is something in his very physical ap- pearance that whimsically suggests a great big baby. His broad, high forehead, his pink, pudgy cheeks and his blue eyes are a combination that almost is cherubic. And sometimes a baby has the same .wise, all-knowing look as this man, upon whom a world pins its confidence. “If we could grapple with the whole child situation for one generation, our public health, our economic effl- ciency, the moral character and stabil- ity of our geople would advance three generations in one,” is the Hoover creed upon which his plan for Ameri- can children is based. 40 Per Cent Below Standsrd. In a broad survey he has made of children in America Mr.Hoover con- cludes that 60 per cent of them are from homes of high intelligence and education. The high character of the parents of the 60 per cent with faci- lities furnished by the state in the i public school system need give but l‘ntla anxiety as to this great major- ty. “It is upon the reduction of the remaining 40 per cent that our solic- "‘.‘S‘ must concentrate itself,” he said. The very famous Dr. L. Emmet Holt, author of the manual on child care which is the stand-by of the majority of young mothers of this country, Dr. Josephine S. Baker, poular writer on child subjects, and Dr. John Foote, child specialists, also will be on the program with Mr. Hoover, while Sir Aukland Geddes, the British ambassador, will tell what is being done for the children of Great Britain, (Copyright, 1922.)

UNVEILING OF BURKE STATUE TO BE NOTABLE Former London Mayor to Make Presentation Speech—Weeks May Deliver Response. Although plans are not complete in every detail for the ceremonies to mark the unveiling of the Edmund Burke statue in the reservation at 11th street and Massachusetts avenue October 12, it is the object of Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, to make the occasion an auspicious one. Besides the presence of a number of prominent citizens of England and officials of the British embassy here. there will be on hand many persons of national prominence to participate in the exercises. The address of do- nation will be made by Sir Charles Cheers Wakefleld, former mayor of London, who is president of the Sul- grave Institution, under whose aus- pices the statue is being presented to this country. It is likely that Secretary of War Weeks will offi- cially receive the gift on behalf of this government. Besides several other brief ad- dresses there will be music, which will include a concert by the United States Marine Band and choral sing- ing by community singers and chil- dren of the Thomson public school. Residences and other bulldings facing the reservation in which the hand- some statue is to be placed will be decorated with the American and British colors. A. J. Driscoll, president of the Mid- City Citizens’ Assoclation, conferred with Col. Sherrill today regarding the participation of the community in the exercises. The complete plans will be made public within the next few dayi To the Trade Repairs for All Heating & Cooking Apparatus Grates, linings and vari- ous repairs, including all firing tools necessary.
