When they met yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the local branch of the Natlonal League of Commission Merchants, the wholesalers voted tu create a committee to ascertain how the commission houses would fit in 1o the plans of the advocates of each site.

It was this differ- ence of opinion that led to the pro posal for the appointment of a com- mittee.

Lives Simply Overlooking At- lantic, But Likes His Fast Automobile. By The Associated Press. JARD, LA VENDEE, France, Sep- tember 28 —Clemenceau, the most arresting personality and perhaps the greatest among contemporary French- men, is 85 today. He spent the as he did yester- day, in concentrated labor for some hours with an American {ranslator over the English text of his “Civiliza- tion,” in wandering through his gar- den and in contemplating the sea from his favorite bench near the sea wall, where the Atlantic waves come rolling in with such force that even on quiet days he Is reached by the flying scud. The village postman is not busy ging letters and telegrams to nce’s great minister because few persons in France are aware of the precise date of his birth. All the ref- erence books place his birth as in “September,” 1841, and he has.always heen reluctant, as a personal pecu- liarity, to give more exact information. He doesn’t want people bothering him with felicitations. An official person- age who has had occasion to see the records confided to the correspondent that the date is September 28. Suggests Ancient Virtues. Clemenceau at 85 lives austere] smple life suggesting ancient vi { Reading philosophical and scientific books, writing! gardening, receiving a friend now and then, make up his ordinary day. Occasionally he goes into Sables D'Olonne to do his house- marketing himself, using his sole H ry, a_foref automobile of great “I like the repose, the restfulness of rapid motion,” h principal street of Sables D’Olonne, broad promenade facing the ocean, is named on one side Ave- nue Georges Clemenceau and the other half {s Avenue Du President Wilson. Clemenceau's progress through the streets of Sables D'Olonne is one of continuous salutation. He talks 1o the citizen and the gnarled fishermen in the local patois and they repeat his shrewd and homely observations on everyday things and events. It'is quite a show to hear him bar- zaining with fisher woman for a better price on a sole or a lobster. He likes the quick retort and joins in the laugh on himself when the repartee has been too much for him. He has never lived a shut-in life. Loves Common People. Accessible to all comers, his love of meeting with common folk has given him that assure knowledge of what people think or feel politically. The spirit of his letter on the Franco- American debt question to President Coolidge last month, if not derived from his neighbors, was in accord their thoughts. “What I wrote,” sald Clemenceau a few days ago, “was what France feels. It had to be expressed.” The garden upon which Monsiéur Clemenceau has spent so much love and effort has no paths, no markings. There is not the least regularity. The first impression is that the phlox, roses, heliotrope, heartease, larkspur and migonette are growing haphazard, uncared for in the sand. Doesn’t Like Paths. “Oh, T don’t like path: said M. Clemenceau to the writer. “When you have gone a few times along the paths of a garden laid out trimly you have no fresh sensations, no surprises. You have the feeling of being confin- ed, even imprisoned by the rec- tangular outlines. I never feel that way here. I can walk anywhere if I watch my step, and you are not al- ways seeing the same flowers and CLEMENCEAU IS 85 TODAY: OBSERVES BIRTHDAY WORKING GEORGES CLEMENCEAU. plants the angles.” A certain wildness about the gar- den, its unlikeness to other gardens, the disregard of rule and form, por- tray strangely the man, deflant of convention, unexpected in decision and action, Remarkable things have, however. been done in the wind-blown sand, strewn with seawood, which makes the fertilizer. The little plantation of about three or four acres is irrigated by pumping machinery run by a small gasoline motor which’ M. Clemenceau keeps in order himself. The water supply is from a deep well. He is puzzled as to how it comes about. The level of the water in the well rises and falls with the tides, yet the water in the well is always fresh. Japanese Streamer There. A long streamer showing a gigantic carp in black and white billowed out by the breeze floats from the flagstaft in front of the house. “It is Japanese,” sald Clemenceau, he symbol of strength and virility. When a son is born in a Japanese house such a flag is raised.” Clemenceau does not care to be understood too well or even to be in- terpreted. “I have been reading Demosthenes,” remarked the correspondent, “because I have been told that in it I can find your political philosophy.” “You won't find it.” Perhaps, between the lines?” which he was silent. The brilliant 300-page sketch of the Demosthenes describes the futility of Greek statesmanship in the presence of the Macedonian danger, the dis- traction political controversies, the lassitude and smallness of view of those who brought the Greek democ- racies to ruin. Contempt for Politicians. Some Frenchmen see in Demos- thenes a picture of France today and the perils she may have to meet. Clemencau's opinion of most of the personalities in active political life in France is contempt. “You are a great Frenchman, M. Clemenceau,” said Lloyd George to. him on one occasion during the peace conference. but no Frenchman." M. Clemenceau’s reply is not re- corded, but his smile was most likely one of careless indifference. His Intimate friendships are not many, but they are strong and con- stant. Andre Tardieu is the nearest to him and usually sees him twice a week when M. Clemenceau {s in Paris. George Mandel, who was the chief of his private cabinet during the war, is still on affectionate terms with him. His son Michael, his daughter AMme. Jacquemaire and Mme. Young, and his brothers Paul and Albert see him frequently. from precisely same at “You love France.| RITCHIE TO SPEAK AT HYATTSVILLE Governor to Make Address at Democratic Rally October 6, Chamber Is Told.

Seek Industrial Development. E. A. Burslem was appointed tariff commissioner for Hyattsville and vi- clnjty. \6 question as to whether Hyatts- vnTeh Should be considered a residential or industrial section was discussed, and the opinion was expressed that Jocal' industrial enterprises would make for the steady progress of the town. The chamber went on record as favoring the location of industrial plants in the territory adjacent to Hyattsville, as surveys showed there is much undeveloped land along the Baltimore and Ohio Rallroad and the Washington-Baltimore boulevard. It was announced that the court in Baltimore has ordered the Maryland Public Service Commission to reopen the case of the Red and Blue bus line operating between Washington and Baltimore, affecting the company's right to take on and discharge pas- sengers between the District of Colum- bia line and Baltimore. Public Hearing Thursday. A public hearing on the matter will be held in Baltimore Thursday, and a bus will leave Hyattsville at 8:30 am., that day to take a delegation. The post office department, it was announced, has placed the town of ‘Hyattsville on a city delivery system. 1t has heretofore been operating on a village delivery plan. The change, which was made upon recommenda: tion of the chamber, raises salarles of carriers from $1,200 to $1,700 a year and upward. Charles Beyer and Jerome R. Cox were elected to membership.

ADOLPH KAHN President DELAYED WEDDINGS HELD ADVISABLE Rev. Dr. Clark, 50 Years Mar- ried, Says Protracted Be- {rothals Test Devotion. By The Associated Press. BOSTON, September 28.—A fairly long engagement to test devotion and then marriage without too much thought of the financial struggle is the formula for happiness given to the younger generation by the Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, president of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, on the occasion of his fiftleth wed- ding anniversary. Dr. and Mrs. Clark will have been married’ 50 years on October 3. The Christian Endeavor World of Sep- tember 30 will contain an article by Dr. Clark entitled “Fifty Years Mar- ried,” in which he reviews his hap- piness in the last half century and draws some general conclusions as to marriage. “Much Marrying” Discussed. “The cause of much married unhap- piness,” he writes, “is that calf love is mistaken for the genuine article— a passing fancy for an unchanging choice. A whim, the glance of a bright eye, a captivating smile, are very poor things on which alone to base one's future happiness. When I see the sketchy, casual way in which many young people take upon themselves the very serious vows of matrimony I am surprised not that so many but that so few seek the divorce court after a too brief honey- moon.” Yet when devotion ‘has been tested Dr. Clark counsels marriage without further delay. “Those early years of married life are too precious to put off until middle age stares one in the face,” he writes. “It is easier to fit one's selt into another’s life before habits and conventions stiffen into grooves or perhaps into ruts. If financial struggles and economies must be met face them together. They are a part of the precious discipline of life for the wife as well as for the husband.” Dr. and Mre. Clark already have received congratulatory letters from many leaders of church and state, in- cluding President Coolidge. They have only recently returned from a seven-month tour of Europe and the Holy Land. PEPCO ASKS RELIEF IN INJUNCTION CASE Requests Court to Lift Burden of Bond Given Under Order of 1917. ‘The Potomac Electric Power Co. to- day asked the District Supreme Court to relieve the company of the burden of continuing the injunction bond which it gave under court order in 1917 to indemnify the consumers of electricity in the event that the rates established by the Public Utilities Commission should be sustained by the court. Through Attorney R. S. Bowen, the company declares it has distributed to consumers, under the compromise ment approved by the court all but $402,000 of the ap- proximate amount of $3,000,000 which wa's to go to the consumers. The court 18 told there is no further need for the injunction bond. The company’s share of the im- pounded fund, which exceeded $3,- 000,000 under the compromise, was recently attacked by a consumer, who claims he is entitled to $39 more than he received in the dlstribution of the fund between the company and the consumers. The Federal Government has also intervened in this controversy and asserts a claim of $200,000. Both claimants attack the right of the court to approve the compromise. Hearing on these two controversies is scheduled for Oc- tober 8 before Justice Stafford, who approved the compromise. TYPHOON SWEEPS MACAO Portuguese Settlement Near Hong- kong Suffers Severely.
