The aim of the school is purely scientific, namely, to extend Ameritsn knowledge of the geog- raphy Fistory, archeology and lan- guages &' Biblical lands, and, accord- ing to spportunities, to carry out ex- loratiohs and excavations. Dr. W. ". Albsight of Johns Hopkins Univer- aity, permanent director, will spend the yrar in this country. while Dr. utir executes his office in Jerusalem.

Dr. Butin is the first Cath- clic_priest ever to hold such an office as the one conferred upon him. 10,037 Volumes Donated. Dufing the past year, the main li- brary of the Catholic iversity has been increased by 10,037 volumes on various subjects, making a total of 260,188 volumes. The largest single collection of the year came through the generosity of Dr. Roderick A. MacEachen, professor of apologetics. The collection is at once unique and valuable, containing as it does a copy of the catechism of Christian doctrine in use in each diocese in practically every country in the world. The col- { lection is the work of great labor and ' of many years and contains more than 2,900 volumes. Another large collec- tion is that bequeathed by the late Rev. Dr. Charles F. Alken, formerly dean of the School of Sacred Sciences and contains many rare volumes on the religions of the Orient. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward A. Pace, vice rector, is the donor of 940 volumes on philos- ophy. The second annual exhibition of the Architectural Soclety of the Cath- olic University was held during the past week in the working rooms of the department of architecture in the gymnasium. Many artistic designs featured the display, and drew to the well filled rooms a continuous stream of visitors. The exhibition set a pre- cedent for excellence, and has been highly praisd. *“A Municipal Caprillon Tower,” the work of John Miller of Cleveland, was the center of attrac- tion. For this work Mr. Miller was awarded second prize in ‘the recent Fontainbleau prize competition and a scholarship in the Fountainbleau School of Fine Arts in Paris. Medal-Winning Works Shown. Among the hangings at the exhibi- tlon are three medal-winning pleces by Thomas Locraft of Washington end two by Mr. Miller. Other medal- winning pleces shown are those of Edward Pairo of Washington, ‘wl:‘()‘ has two: James Hogan, Ha Conn., Robert Tuect, Trenton, N. J., | George E. Chappelear of Washington and Joseph Biberstein, Philadelph! In addition there are a large numbes of works, which received honorabl mention in several competitions hel during the academic year. The deco- ration in the exhibition halls were the work of the students of architec- ture. The blending of colors and the arrangement of the lighting effects helped immeasurably to lend the artis- tic atmosphere necessary for the occa- sion. The 1926 students’ annual, the Car- dinal, made its appearance on the campus last Monday. It contains many original features, together with a history of the senior class. collec- tively and individually, a recapitula- tion of campus events during the past four years, and a humor and snap- shot section unsurpassed by previous annuals. The book has a continuous theme runn throughout, and is dedicated to ‘‘Our Mothers.” No other motor tout just like 15308 27 For a week-end motoring trip, nothing could be more likean ever- changing kaleidoscope of different kinds of interest than Del-Mar Va, the great Peninsula between Caesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Historic Eastern Shore THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 30, 1926—PART 1. "Current News Events Summary of Importa and Local Affairs Specially Arranged for the Convenience ‘of Students. President Coolidge last week gave out the text of an executive order which allows State, county and munic- ipal officers to be placed on the Fed- eral pay roll fur purposes of enforcing the Volstead law. The order at once aroused a storm of criticism, especial- 1y from “wet” Members of Congress who insist that it is an encroachment upon State’s rights. The order was ex- plained at the Treasury Department, however, as applying only to the States which wish to make use of it, and, ror the time being at least, to California ornly. It is voluntary to the States to accept or decline the privileges contained in the order, and there Is nothing obligatory about it, it was stated. ‘The United States is heartily in sympathy with any movement toward disarmament, but disarmament ques- tions which have to do directly with the League of Nations must be set- tled without the help of the United States. This was the sense of an explanation given by Hugh Gibson, American delegate to the preparatory commission” on disarmament now meeting at Geneva, to the commission last week. He said the United States naturally was unable to take part in discussions involving the League of Nations, as this country is not a member of that body, but that this country will not stand in the way of such discussions. Germany came in for a prominent part of the spotlight last week when she dramatically set forth, through her delegate, Count von Bernstorff, that her own neighbors are not yet disarmed, and the conference must take into consideration the fact that no one nation should possess greater armament than those possessed by the countries which would be at the | disposal of the League of Nations in case of an emergency. Five Americans were in the hands of outlaw bands in various parts of Mexico the latter part of last week and Mexican federal troops were dis- patched against the bandits to rescue them. John J. Shanklin of Canyon, Tex., was to be killed by the bandits on Thursday, if ransom was not sent for him. The four other Americans also were threatened with death. One of the Americans, C. C. Braden, an engineer, was tortured by being hung up by his thumbs, according to one report. While the Government in ‘Washington has shown some anxiety, it is not believed here that ‘the kid- nappings are part of a plot to embar- rass the present government of Mex. ico, the outrages bei - Gotod. rages ing widely scat- The United States Supreme Court last week declined to dgclde the ‘:n~‘ teresting question which has come be- fore it from the lower courts in the District of Golumbia concerning the ;-'llfix!s‘ :t .:;eogertyt o;v.l;:s to enter men ng colored residents from certain sections. The court held it lacked jurisdiction but this had the effect' of continuing in- Junctions granted by the lower courts to restrict a white woman from selling her home to a negro. The question was held interesting not .only because of the race question involved but be-. cduse it concerned the right of prop- erty owners to sign an agreement to exclude ‘from their neighborhood per- sons they considered undesirable. The case was watched throughout the United States, because of the many controversies which have arisen in va- rious cities over the same situation. Addressing the pan-American Red Cross conference now meeting fn Washington, President Coolidge last week declared that the Red Cross so- cieties are taking a definite part in the building of a new order, and he ex- pressed the hope that “this conference will mark a new advance in the cor- dial and helpful relations among the peoples of the Western Hemisphere in their relations to each other and in thelr relation to the Old World.” At- tending the conference, which is the second of its kind, are delegates from all Latin _American _countries, from This Country Home 5 Minutes From Sta.

The representatives of Swedish royalty were given a heafty welcome wherever they went, and were entertained by the President at a dinner given at the White House. Interest surrounds the Crown Prince as, in addition to being the successor to the Swedish throne, he is a re- nowned scientist and has done muc! for archeology. d The corner stone of a great memo- rial temple to Waren Harding, late P’resident of the United States, was laid last week in Marion, Ohlo. The. memorial tomb, in which his body will lie, will be erected at a cost of $800,000 raised through public subscription. Mount Tokachl, a long-slumbering volcano in the Island of Hokkaido, Ja- pan, came to life Monday with an eruption which cost the lives of 200 people of the island, property damage of nearly a million dollars and de- stroyed the homes of 3,000. Abd-el-Krim, Riffian chief, long the foe of the French and Spanish forces, who fought against the combined strength successfully, surrendered himself to the French last week short- ly after his forces had capitulated. With the capture of the noted tribes- man, the French are now in possess- ion of about half the RIff country, the other half being inhabited by tribes whose attitude toward the invading French is not definitelx known. While they refused to come to the aid of Krim before he surrendered, the French are of the opinion that they may offer opposition on their own account. Charles Edward Russell, Socialist candidate for Governor of New York in 1910-12, and author of numerous works on Socialism, was barred from entering Englans last week by British immigration authorities, who declined to cite the reason for their refusal to let him land. He was about to leave the steamer at Plymouth. Mr. Russell attributed the attitude of the British | authorities to a speech he delivered on St. Patrick’s day in this country, in which he stated that England’s foreign policy was a menace, and in which he attacked England’s treatment of Ire- land. American officlals, it is stated, will make no protest, and Senator Borah, one of those interviewed on the mattet in this country, stated that the United States had no room for pro- test, and American immigration au- thoritles had set up a foolish standard through which they had prevented the entry of British subjects. President Coolidge last week signed the public building bill, which will authorize the construction of $50,000,- 000 worth of buildings in the District of Columbia in the next 10 years. ' Immediately after the bill became law the United States Public Buildings Commission, which will decide the or- der of construction of the buildings, met and announced that the first building to be considered was the long- needed archives building, in which will be housed the valuable records of the Government. Such records are now stored in buildings which are not fireproof. The archives building will be erected at a cost of about $2,000,000, it was announced. Economic.

With this country dependent upon other countries tor raw materials and with billions of dollars being lent abroad, thé United States can ne longer avoid international relation ships, commercially or politically, it is pointed out in & report by the foreign credit department of the National Association of Credit Men. “‘We are inevitably committeed to in- tensive activity beyond the seas,” states the report, after citing statis- tics to show the increase in trade be- tween the United States and foreign countries’ and the dependence upon those countries for our raw materials. The wealth of the nation in 1922 was placed at $353,000,000,000 and the national income for that year at .$70,000,000, the Federal Trade Commis- sion reported to the Senate last week, in answer to a resolution. The in- crease in wealth between 1912 and 1922 was 1% per cent, allowing for the change in the purchasing power of the dollar, the report said. The cloud that hovered over: Eng- land during the general strike of a few weeks ago has passed -as sud- denly as it came, and various writers, discussing the situation from abroad, seem to feel that Englahd has bene- fited, rather than suffered, through the strike. The benefit comes from the fact that the “general strike” has been a long-talked-of weapon, which, when tried, failed to be as successful as its backers had claimed. The be- llef is general, it is said, that the lesson has been learned that there will be no more general strikes in England. Encouragement of scientific effort rather th:re\ political regulation of production was suggested as the best oil conservation policy for the govern- ment to adopt, in a speech dellvered by Charles E. Hughes, former Secre- tary of State and now representing the American Petroleum Institute. Overproduction and uneconomic con- sumption were cited by Mr. Hughes as the principal factors working against ofl conservation today. The population of Washington, Capital of the Nation, is on the up- grade. Last week the Census Bureau gave out its estimate for citles of the United States for July 1 of the present year, which glves Washing- ton's official population at that time as 528,000. -The Capital becomes the thirteenth largest city in the United States. Politics. : The New York Times last week stated that it had polled members of the Democratic national commifitee and found that the majority of them favor abolition of the famous “two- thirds” rule, which requires a two- third vote to nominate a candidate for President in a national convention. The results of this rule has long been a feature of Democratic conventions, and its abolition would be significant, if actually brought about. The Times states that of 28 members of the com- mittee answering its query, 20 fa- vored the change, 7 opposed it and 1 was non-committal. ““Ma’” Ferguson, woman governor of Texas, has offered to resign if her opponent, Attorney General Dan Moody, also a candidate for governor- ship, leads her by one vote in the| primaries soon to be held. Mr. Moody has accepted the challenge and of- fered to resign if Mrs. Ferguson gets more votes than he does. The strange wager has stirted a lot of discussion, and some of the political enemies of both Mrs. Ferguson and Mr. Moody are characterizing it as a plain bet that puts the highest office in Texas on the plane of a stake in a “crap game."” ‘The primaries for the nomx.nallon of ple because it has no inheritance law, plans to test the constitutionality of a Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Iowa, begin June Light Oak Dark Oak Walnut Mahogany ‘Dark Mahogany Che}ry Rosewood Clear 1 Fall pint, regular price. . . 1Y3-inch brush, regular price.

Brookhart, recently thrown out of the Senate on a recoynt of the votes that sent him there, and United States Senator Al- bert B. Cummins. The main issue involved is the regular’ Republican party and Mr. Coolidge. Senator Cummins is the Coolidge standard bearer, while Mr. Brookhart has fought the administration from the start. Both of the candidates proclaim they are frierlds of the farmer. ‘The Democrats are planning a bat- tle in Pennsylvania, where they have nominated Willlam B. Wilson, former Secretary of Labor, for the Senate. ‘They intend to contentrate their fight against Representative Vare, choice of the Republicans, on the ground that the “gang” or ‘“machine,” long famous in Pennsylvania politics, should be broken up. Frederick Steiwer won the Republi- can nomination for the United States Senate in Oregon by a margin of 10,741 votes over Senator R. N. Stan- fleld, the-incumbent, on the face of complete official returns from the primary of Friday, a week ago. Religion. The Northern Baptists, meeting in convention here last’ week, discussed their differences arising between the so-called fundamentalists and the modernists, very amicably, despite the wide predictions made beforehand that the convention would result in a wide split between these two factions. The question at i{ssue was, simply, what constitutes a Baptist, and whether baptism by immersion is a prerequisite for membership in that church. A resolution, which, if adopted, would have banned from the church such congregatlons as do not practice bap- and in its place a resolution framed by “middle of the roaders” was passed. This resolution states that delegates to the convention must be should be so baptized. It left the various congregations free to de- cide for themselves this question, however. . Another religious conference at which the differences between the m and the fundamentalists are expected to be aired convened last week in Baltimore, and started their proceedings by electing as moderator of the 138th General Assembly of the Presbyterian_Church in the United States Rev. W. O. Thompson, former president of the Ohlo State University. Dr. Thompson is known as a funda- mentalist, but he was elected by the C ongress. Tentative dates for the ment of Congress, set some months ago, centered around May 15. Now two weeks have gone by, without a sign of adjournment, with the House getting restles and the Senate bogged down in such a morass of legislation that its leaders are I about for some way to turn. The Republican steering committee of the Senate has {rb“ynmnv{ during the last week to some program for the disposal of legislation which would allow an early adjournment, but so Among the.important easuree oo e im, measures still pending before the Senate are: Farm relief, expansion of the Air Service, ratification of the French debt, better enforcement of prohibition; the radio bill to give the Government complete control over radio, and legislation de- signed to deal with emergencles with the coal industry. 3 %uul‘ll. tism by immersion, was voted down, vote of the modernists.
