She also explained that because of the large population in the Mount Pleasant district the society had to sub-divide its terri- | tory there Into_three divisions. “The City of Washington is at the bottom of the list of all other large cities in the ratio of visiting nurses to the population,” declared Mrs. Cross, who put the least number of nurses required in Washington at | 150 to 200. A campaign for a two- vear budget will be made next week. A resolution of indorsement and upport of the work of the Visiting urses was adopted by the associa- tion, which appropriated $50 toward the campaign. Besides the report of the various committees the school situation was considered. “The association deplored the general lack of funds for new buildings and equipment, particularly the out-of-date text books now in use.

At least three sites are being seriously considered, including this area. The second is in Tennessee and the third in North Carolina, both of which are handicapped by their inaccessability. In their report the commissioners will indicate which of the sites they | consider best adapted to the purposes of the proposed national park, and their splection probably will be ac- cepted by Congress as final. From| here the committeemen will go to the other two outstanding areas. It is not believed, however, that they will consider it necessary to view any other proposed sites, because they dd not possess all of the features necessary in a national park. _— A good Panama hat is never bleached after being woven.

This was the turn- ing point for Princeton, whose new bickfield had just swung into action. Slagle ran Gehrke's next kick-off 43 yards to midfield, from his own yard line, and the Tigers completed a 93-yard march for a touchdown when Slagle tossed a forward pass across the goal line to Legendre, on the fourth down, after Harvard thrice had thrown back the Tiger charges at the line. . McMillan Intercepts Pass. Soon after the opening of the third quarter, the first of three intercepted Harvard passes that helped Prince- ton’s later scoring drive, was picked out of the air by McMillan, Tiger center. Stopped short of the goal, Ewing was called in again to try his luck, but this time Capt. Greenough of Harvard blocked the effort, only to have Hills recover for Princeton. The Tiger then proceeded to smash its way over for another touchdown. Wil liams took the ball after a series of rushes on a 5-yard slant through tackle to go over the line. Another Tiger drive was launched toward the close of this quarter from the Princeton 4-yard line, where Har- Scores of Leading Foot Ball Games Yesterday.

They had the punch when it was needed, and the versatility as well, which was proved in the effectiveness of the Princeton aerial game at critical junctures.

RUM ROW DECLINES - OFFNEW ENGLAND Coast Guard Activities Drive Price of Ligquor Up in Boston. By the Associated Press BOSTON, November 8—The activi- ties of the prohibition enforeement navy of this port has caused a con- siderable falling off in the rum row between Cape Cod and Cape Ann, and driven the price of liquor, at the gangway, up $8 a Coast Guard officials hiere announced today. From | three steamers and 16 schooners two weeks ago the rum row has dwindled to one French steamer and six Brit- ish schooners, these officials said. The shrinking in the rum fleet and the enforced increase in the price of iquor delivered overside are attrib- uted by the Coast Guardsmen to the efforts of the fast motor vessels Juett and Cassin, which were trans- ferred to the Massachusetts area from Block Island some time ago With the reduction in the liquor fleet here the two vessels have been ordered back to Block Island, to which region, it is said, the rum ers, quitting these waterd, have ferred their activities.

It also is |rumored that Herbert Hoover may be transferred from the Department of Commerce to the Interior Department. Mr. Hoover, however, is not known to {have given any intimation that he remain in the cabinet, although close to the President feel cer- |tain that the President will urge him }to remain. | Status of Hoover. President Coolidge is known many times to have sought the counsel of Secretary Hoover regarding subjects other than those affecting his own | department. He always utilized Mr. Hoover's experience and knowledge of economic problems whenever they {arose. It was Mr. Hoover to whom ‘hn\ lonkfd mostly for advise during jthe agricultural perplexities of last Summer. Therefore the cabinet makers put Mr. Hoover down as a | certainty in the next cabinet. The only possible drawback is Mr. Hoover himself. Iie has frequently during | the past year or so intimated that | he had neglected his private affairs| to such an extent since his public| service that he must get out of office | and recuperate some of his private fortune. Secretary Mellon and Attorney | General Stone are classed as fixtures President Coolidge’s friends say that | he is very grateful for the services {rendered “the country by Scretary Mellon in_his administration of the Treasury Department, and by his tax reduction plan. It is understood that Mr. Mellon enjoys his work and is actually enthusiastic about continu- ing after March 4. At present President Coolidge is centering his attention on the vacant post of Secretary of Agriculture. Howard M. Gore, Assistant Secreta of Agriculture, has been acting | that capacity since Henry C. Wallace. Some believe he will be appointed to serve until March 4, when he' will become gov- ernor of West Virginia, to which of- fice he was elected last Tuesday. In the event Secretary Hughes will not remain (n the cabinet, it is thought by some that the President Il appoint, as his successor, Charles | B. Warren of Michigan, former am- bassador to Japan and to Mexico, and Who was a member of the commission that brought about treaty negotia- tions with Mexico. Others think the President may offer the State port- folio to Herbert Hoover. Slemp May Get Post. The name of C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, secretary to the President, | has been mentioned for a place in the | next cabiinet. Mr. Slemp has inti- mated that he is anxious to resign jas secretary and retire to private life. The President is known to hold | Mr. Slemp in the highest esteem and fully to appreciate the valuable serv- ice he has rendered. It would not be at all unlikely, according to friends of the President, if he kept Mr. Slemp with his administration by putting him in the cabinet. The Post Office Department has been suggested in this connection. Inasmuch as the Post Office port- folio has long been regarded as a po- sition for' Presidents’ campaign man- ager, it is' though not unlikely that the President may offer it to Wil- liam M. Butler of Massachusetts, who is chairman of the Republican national committee. Silas H. Strawn, a Chicago attor- ney, who is today one of the Presi- dent’s guests aboard the Mayflower, has been included among others as a possible appointee to the next cab- inet. Another of these is Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, who declined the nomination of the Cleveland convention for Vice Presi- dent. He is mentioned for the Agri- culture portfollo.

TWO OPEN REVOLTS PUT SPAIN IN PERIL| (Continued from First Page.) But more revolutionary northerp Spain apparently cannot wait (Copyright, 1924.) After a little over a year of su- preme power in Spain, Dictator Rivera has failed to accomplish any | of the important reforms which he promised when he seized that power in September, 1923 He has ruled the country with a harsh if not a firm hand ile, re- pression and censorship have been the tools he used most. But the sup- pression of liberalism and radicalism in Spain somehow failed to win bat- tles in Morocco. Before he seized power cabinet after cabinet fell, because they could not put down the rebellion in Africa. The dictatorship was to show poli- ticians how to do it. The dictator himself went to the battle field, but he has been as unsuccessful as the generals who preceded him. Meanwhile, his repressive measures have been bearing fruit in the shape of ever-increasing discontent. The Liberals began to speak, guardedly months ago. Those of them who had been exiled or had fled spoke openly. The dictator has not been enough of a statesman to govern the country without incurring the hatred of many powerful elements. So far, however, the throne and the army have remained loyal to him, but his inexperience in politics has been his undoing. He never tried it before. Until the revolution he was simply a soldier, a man of noble famil: had been honored with the position of captain general of Barcelona. There he engineered his military coup, which put him in power, power he has not known how to_us: first selected by the President as one of the Government counsel to prose- cute the suits for annulment of the naval oil leases, but the speculation about him, places him in no particu- lar spot in the cabinet.
