Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of phys- teal anthropology of the National Museum, returned to Washington yes- terday after a Summer spent in Alaska In an effort to trace the migra- tions of the earliest inhabitants of North America. In the course of his explorations Dr. Hrdlicka went as far north as Point Barrow on the Arctle coast of Alaska and the farthest north settle- ment under the American flug. e has brought back to Washing- ton one of the largest additions ever made to the anthropological and eth- nological collections of the museum. These Include numerous articles that shed much light on the earlier days of the human race on this continent. Alaska Key to Problem. Dr. Hrdlicka visited Alaska as the key to a problem that has caused con- siderable controversy at times—how man got to North America. In com- mon with most anthropologists who have studied the problem he has held that the North American Indians were of Asiatic origin and that the most probable course of thelr migra- tion was across Bering Strait, where the headlands of the two continents are almost in sight of each other on a clear day. The theory has been that it would not have been beyond the ability of a primitive people, seeking new hunt- ing grounds, to have pushed their boats from island to island until they arrived on the North American ‘coast. From that time on, with successive partles following In the steps of the first, the peopling of a continent was simply a matter of expanding south- ward. Dr. Hrdlicka sought also this Sum- mer to trace the courses of this mi- gration Into the interior and south- ward. He succeeded in gathering an im. mense amount of new data this Sum- mer, much of which he will bring out at a meeting of the Bmithsonian Institution staff in a few days and which will constitute a permanent and valuable contribution to the sci- ence of anthropology. Dr. Hrdlicka said today his observa. tlons this thoroughly of the truth of the Bering Strait theory of the origin of man on this continent, but he was not pre- pared to go further into the subject. The explorations this Summer en- tailed a great deal of exceptionally hard work and some time will be re- quired to classify the collections. SITE OF COMMERCE BULDING PROBLEN Mellon, Hoover, Dewey, Dun- lap and Fine Arts Head at Discussion. Location of the Department of Commerce Building was under discus- sion most of the time at a_meeting vesterday of the Public Buildings Commission, attended also by Secre- - of the Treasury Melion, Assistant etury of the Treasury Dewey, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, As- sistant Secre of Agriculture Dun- lup, and Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Commission. No deci- sion was reached. The principal question now the buildings commission, according to Acting Chairman Maj. U Grant, 4rd, is “whether the commission can find a site suitable for the whole de- purtment, or what can be done,” For the present, Maj. Grant sald, the comamission will continue with a study of the location between Four- suth and Fifteenth streets, Pennsy vania avenue and B streets. Tentativ plans will be drawn by the Supervising Architect's office for study of the commission, he said, but no final de- cision may be reached on this $10, 000,000 question for some time. Senator Smoot, Senator Swanson and Representative Eiliot were absent from yesterday's meeting.

Another clash between represent- atives of civic organizations and op- erative builders over the amendment to the zoning regulations designed to keep all types of houses except de- tached out of restricted residential sections, featured a lengthy session of the Zoning Commission today in the boardroom of the District Bullding. The arguments today centered on a_proposal to rezone a large area in North Washington from residential | A and B to residential A restricted, | where only detached houses would be allowed. The territory involved is bounded on the west by Third street, on the south by Concord avenue, on the east by New Hampshire avenue, Riggs road and the District line, on the north by e line of A restricted area, approximately 100 feet south of Quackenbos street. west of North Capitol street and by Rittenhouse street east of North Capitol street, except the commercial property within this territory. Opposition ‘Ts Recorded. The proposal was indorsed by Thomas Joy of the Chillum Castle Helghts Cltizens -~ Association and Ernest H. Pullman of the Manor Park Citizens' Association, whi commu- nities would be affected by the cha Opposition, however, came from ward F. Colladay, representing C'. Galliher, owner of a large tract in- volved. Mr. Colladay offered no ab- jection to the change except in the specific tract owned by his client. The commission heard an echo trom a similar battle at its hearing last month when Mr. Pullman requested that the remarks of Harry Wardman be expunged from the record. At this hearing Mr. Wardman described Mr. Pullman as & “nuisance.” Her- bert Wilson another representative of the Manor Park Association who also was branded similarly by Mr. Ward- man, told the commission that he aid not consider himself damaged by the remark and would not ask that it be stricken from the record. Plan for Union Station Plaza. No ohjection ‘was offered to the commission's plan to adopt a uni- form height area of 90 feet in the commercial zone around the Union Station Plaza. gineer Commis- sioner J. Franklin Bell, chairman of the commission, explained that the proposal had the indorsement of the Commission of Fine Arts. The prop- erty affected by the proposed change abutts the east side of Second street northeast _ between Massachusetts avenue and F street, the south side of D street northeast, between First street and Massachusetts avenue, and the south side of Massachusetts ave- nue hetween D and Third streets northeast. ‘The petition of the Acacia Mutual Life Assoclation for a rezoning of property bounded by Indiana avenue, ew Jersey avenue, D and Second streets, so as to allow a 80-foot height, also met with no opposition.

By the A ted Press. GARDEN CITY, N. Y. September 22 —Walter Hagen finished the first half of his second-round match against Dick Grout of Oklahoma City in the Professional Golf Assoclation cham- pionship today with a lead of three holes. Grout hung closely to the defending champlon until the sixteenth, where his game collapsed after he had cut Hagen’s margin from 3 up to a single hole. He missed a big opportunity to square the match at the short, par 3 sixteenth, where agen tossed his ball into a trap. Grout also became trapped, however, and then expended three strokes rescuing the huried ball. He finally holed out in 6 to Hagen's 4. At the seventeenth, Grout was in the rough all the way for another 6 to Hagan's 5.

Farrell's putter responded to his touch with excellent results today against the Californian, as it had yes- terday against Watrous. After they had halved the first four holes the Eastern professional began to sink the ball from all corners of the green, to take the fifth, sixth, seventh and elghth. They then played on even terms during the remainder of the morning round. Mike Brady of Mamaroneck, N.

Cutting ¢ with an eagle 3 at the very first hole, the New Jersey player took an early lead over Sara- | zen which the former title holder was never able to overcome, although he played the 18 holes in 74, only two trokes over par, to Golden's 72 olden’s plays on the g ens stood out as the feature of a well rounded | game, which threatened to bring about | the biggest upset of the second round.

Entirely separate in churucter and proceeding along differing lines, the two investigations of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, now under way by agents of the Controller General's Office and a group of five eminent hospital su- perintendents and psychologists, will go into every phase of the hospital's medical and financial administration. Another inquiry into the practices of the big Government hospital, will get under way the latter part of this week, when u subcommittee of the House District committee begins a probe into many phases of adminis- tration of District affairs, among them $t. Elizabeth's Hospital. The inquiry instituted by agents of the controller general's office under the terms of a juint resolution passed late in the past session of Congrees has been under way for six weeks and is concerned with the financial and business administration of the hospital. The inquiry now being con ducted by a committee of prominent psychologists Is undertaken with the w of ascertaining whether the med- ical practices at the hospital are mod- ern and up-to-ds Will Report in December. The inquiry by agents of the con troller general's office under the terms of the resolution must be com- pleted in time for a report to the opening session of Congress early in December, The second inquiry ha had no time limit set for its com- pletion, but will very likely be con- cluded in three or four weeks. Com- plete records of the financial and busi- ness administration of the hospital are being investigated by the con troller general's office under the di rection of H. A. A. Smith. Dr. H. W. Mitchell, superintendent of the State Hospital at Watren, Pa. Dr. Owen Copp. consultant at the Pennsylvanin Hospital at Philadel phia, and Dr. Arthur H. R superintendent of Butler Hosp pProvidence, R. I, the three members of the committee appointed by Sec vetary Work to undertake the in vestigation of the medical and cientific administration of the hos pital, have begun their inquiry by splitting the work up into three phases, and have already gone through many of the hospital wards and n many of the 4,167 patients. Dr. S. E. Smith, provost of Indtana Univ and Dr. George M. Kline, commissioner of the Massachusetts department of mental diseases, the other members of the Work _com- mittee, are expected to arrive in Wash ington e next week and begin their duties immediately. Members Are Experts. Dr. W. A. White, superintendent, explained today that all the members of the Work committee are so familiar with hospital procedure and practice that they can visit any section or ward of the hospital and within a few moments ascertain whether or not it is being operated vroperly The inquiry to be undertaken by the House District subcommittee, Dr. White said, will have to do more with the commitment of patients to the in- stitution than with either the medical or financial aspects of its operation. Representative Gibson of Vermont, who served as chairman of one of the House subcommittees investigating dministration of former Com- ner Frederic A. Fenning at the st session of Congress. is expected to be named chairman of the subcom- mittee. ' The of the Controller ¢ eral are proceeding with their finan- cial inquiry with copies of the entire proceedings of the Fenning inquiry before them. it They would not discuss today the progress made so far in the investigation except to say they were going far back into the hospital rec- ords. S e SEIZED FOR UNPAID TAX. Collector Holds Truck Alleged as Property of W. C. Bergmann. A campaign of sefzures of personal property for non-payment of taxes was started today by Chatham Tow- | ers, callector of taxes of the District. The first seizure was a motc said to be the property of William C. Bergmann, which was taken from in front of a laundry at 623 G street by Deputy Collector William D. €lark, jr.

My father had quali- ties that were greater than any I possess. He was a man of untiring industry and great tenacity of purpose. His long experience in local office gave him a very broad and, I found, a very accurate knowledge of law. He always stuck to the truth. It always seemed possible for him to form an unerring judgment of men and things. | cannot recall that 1 ever knew of his doing a wrong thing. He would be classed as decidedly a man of character. | have no doubt he is representative of a great mass of Americans who are known only to their local neighbors; nevertheless, they are really great. It would be difficult to say that he had a happy life. He never seemed to be seeking happiness. He was a firm believer in hard work. Death visited the family often. But I have no doubt he took a satisfactien in accomplishment and always stood ready to meet any duty that came to him. He did not fear the end of life, but looked for- ward to it as a reunion with all he had loved and lost. “When I was 12 years old my own mother was taken away. She was a sweet and gentle influence. I always recall her having my sister and me brought to her bedside to receive her blessing in her very last hours. She had been an invalid for as long as I could remember. | can see now that she was a woman of taste and discretion and had a fine sense of discrimination. She loved poetry. It was seven years before my father married again. Meantime I stayed a great deal with my Grand- nother Coolidge, who was a strong, resolute woman of deep religious convictions and a true daughter of the Puritans. My stepmother was all that a mother could be who was not your very own. She was a tal- ented woman, fond of books and of a scholarly disposition. I thus had the great good fortune to come under the influence of three good women, a most important element in guiding the career of any man.” | WANTED TO BE STOREKEEPER. | “Did you have the usual boy’s ambition to be a policeman or a railroad engineer?” 1 asked. . . “Living in the country, I did not have much knowledge of railroad engineers or policemen,” he answered. “As I now recall it, I had always rather hoped that I might keep store when I grew up.” “Did it ever occur to you that you might be President when you grew up?” “That never occurred to me. 1 the question had been proposed to me. I should have been quite certain that | would never be qualified to serve my fellow countrymen in that position. I do not recall that any one in whose judgment | would place much reliance cver told me in my Vounger days that 1 should be President. 1f my mother had any such notion she kept it to herself, and the, remarks of my father rather indi- cated that he thought if I did not change my ways 1 would come on the town. He kept up admonitions of that character until T had :meflcd public life. I think his forecast impressed me as being very important. | asked whether he thinks there is as much opportunity for boys now as when he was a boy. 1 think there is a better chance for boys to succeed now than there ever was before” he replied. “Some desire one avenue of success and some another. 1 a young man wants education and that mental dis- ipline which comes from contact with books and lcarned men, I am sure the opportunity was never so good as it is now. If he wishes to earn money and go into business with the idea of. accumulating a com- petence, there are more avenues open for that purpose than at any pre- vious time. If he is_desirous of ser‘urmf; what I should think is a true Cuecess, by performing a real service for his fellow men, from which the reaction will undoubtedly bring him a place in the estimation of his neighbors and a competence which will represent payment for his effort, 1 should say again that there are more opportunities than at any other time in history. TRAINING FOR A PUBLIC CAREER. “What about the girls?” I asked. “They can vote and hold office now, and some of them are beginning to look on politics as a possible career. “If a girl wishes to fit herself for a political career, I think the best thing she can do is to get married and bring up a family. I can conceive of no experience better adapted to give either a woman or a man that knowledge which is most likely to be of value in the discharge of public office than that which comes from the family life. I am aware that there have been many oxcellent executives, both men and women, who have lived a single life. But I think they may have worked under a great handi- cap, which perhaps entitles them to a greater credit. A successful politi- cal career consists of being able to provide the people with what they need in their relationship. with each other. I think that the family life is the corner stone of our social life, and so of our political life. We do not in this country have opportunities which can be referred to as affording a strictly political career. There are many avenues of public life, each of which requires for its best execution a special preparation. The National Government has 10 departments under cabinet officers, each one requiring a special knowledge for its administration. Even our municipal govern- ments have also many departments. The only preparation that is worth anything is a course of study which will make one an expert in the de- partment in which it is proposed to serve. I doubt if it is possible for a young man to choose politics as a career He may go into the diplomatic service as it is now constituted in this country, or into the civil service somewhere as the result of passing an examination, but for the young man to expect to gain a livelihood by hold- ing political office would seem to me to be very undesirable. I should say that he ought to have some business on which he could depend for a liv- ing, and as he has an aptitude for'it take such part in politics as he finds he can do without losing his means of livelihood. Otherwise he loses his independence. ALUE OF COLLEGE EDUCATION. | “My own opinion is that as many boys and girls as possible ought to have a college education, whether they intend to follow a professional career or not. Ithink one of the mistakes lies in thinking that because a boy or girl has a fessional career. sion especially is overmanned, so that many young men are don | small practice and are receiving a very small compensation. education ought to fit a man or woman to be content in any occupation, becanse it entarges the capacity for the enjoyment of the intellectual and spiritual side of life. It seems to me that a man with a college education and an artisan’s income would be almost in an ideal position.” “You made one statement, Mr. President, which I noted particularly,” 1 remarked. “You said that those men and women who have attained dis- tinguished success without being,married have worked under a great hand- icap. I take it to mean that there is no doubt in your mind that marriage is a great contribution to a man’s success?” “How can there be any doubt about it?” he replied. “A man who has the companionship of a lovely and gracious woman enjoys the supreme blessing that life can give. And no citizen of the United States knows the truth of that statement better than I. i It is my observation that in large cities the legal profes- ng a very A college Maj. L B. Chambers Transferred.
