SECRETARY CITES WATERWAY VALUE Inland Stream Development Boon to Middie West, Davis Declares. By the Aseociated Pre ST. LOUIS, Mo., February 12.—De-. velopment of inland waterways and what it means particularly to the Middle West in permanent farm reliet here tonight by Dwight retary of War, at the banquet of the Young ns of Missouri. Davis made here ahout before the Young Republ souri, and his return tonight was as a member in the cabinet of President Coolidge. In keeping with the occasion Mr. Davis said it was “our duty to pe) petuate in the conduct of our Govern- ment the human sympathy, the honesty of action and the fearless courage of Lincoln. We must adopt constructive, for-| ward looking, progressive policy,” he asserted, “rather than party platitudes and pefty personalities, to attract those whom we most need to interest, the young men and women of today. | Aiding Farm Problems. “I am in a position to know the con- structive assistance we are giving the farmer is solving one of the chief fac- tors of his problem—that of getting cheap and adequate transportation fa- | cilities. The farm is the backbone of & nation’s strength, and this country is no exception. It is a well estab- lished fact that water-borne freight goes cheaper than all other freight.” Davis related that the Govern- s spending about $65,000,000 for maintenance and development of waterways and for flood control and is determined to help the farmer and @lso the consumer, who will each henefit by cheap and accessible trans- Portation facilities. 5 Last year, Mr. Davis explained, the farmers, who shipped about 10,000,000 bushels of grain from St. Louis over the Federal barge line, added a profit of about 4 cents a bushel by virtue of the cheaper rates. “I could go on giving you specific instances of how the Coolidge admin- istration’s waterways policy has put millions of dollars into the pockets of the farmers in this and other States. 1 have been told by people who are in a position to know that the higher price levelse established by the ship- ment of these 10,000,000 bushels in- fluenced the price of the 270,000,000 bushels raised in this territory, so that the growers got from 1 to 3 cents more a bushel for their wheat than they would have otherwise received. “In other words, if this statement is true, the grain growers, as a group, pocketed about $7,000,000 more for their wheat than they would have had not the Federal barge line been in operation.” Relating to War Department activi- ties the Secretary brought attention to the “splendid work for national pre- paredness now being done in the Na- tional Guard and the Reserve Corps.” Cites Preparedness Work. While not a militaristic Nation maintenance of an army and navy sufficient to “defend ourselves against possible aggressors” is maintained and the Nation not breeding mili- ists, but is instructing them in mili- tary defense so they could answer should it be necessary, he added. The development of good citizens and loyal Americans is the primary purpose of military training, he as- serted, adding that the “policy of the Coolidge administration has been to prepare against war—not to prepare for war.” He described Lincoln as a trail blazer of humanity, and said there is an urgent need to broaden the trails he blazed into the highways of peace, progress and prosperity. This can be done, he asserted, by enlisting the en- thusiastic and pioneer spirit of youth. Clsa his first po. German Airways Growing. Germany claims to have more com- mercial airplanes than any other country, and others are being added. Every day in the busy season 23,750 miles are flown along 52 routes with regular services between 60 airports. ‘At Cologne airplanes bound for all parts of Europe leave every few min- utes. The town of Halle, which built its own airport and paid subsidies to + airplanes to stop there, is now visited by planes 28 times every day. SHAH OPTICAL CO.

One million permanent memibers, each of whom contributed an initial donation of $1 toward its support, have been enlisted by the’ new Cath- olic Near East Welfare Association in its program for extensive welfare and charitable activities in Turkey, Syria, Armenia, Greece, Palestine and | Russia, Prof. Edmund A. Walsh, vice | president of Georgetown University, announced last night. | Prof. Walsh pointed out that the an- nouncement covered results achieved | only in the initial stages of the na- tional appeal that is being made for support of the program. It will be continued here and throughout the country until the first million dollars have been multiplied enough times to meet the extreme conditions thou-| sands of human beings are facing in | the Near East and Russia, he added. “Catholics in the District have responded practically 100 per cent tc the call for a permanent membership sufficient to support the néw organiza- tion, which is a consolidation of all American Catholic charitable agencies serving the Near East and Russia,” Prof. Walsh continued. “Further contributions may be sent to 480 Lexington avenue, New York city, or to the churches in Washing- ton. This city’s splendid participa- tion is to be made part of the final report to Pope Pius XI.” Now that the organization plans have been perfected, Prof. Walsh said the second step will be undertaken im- mediately. This consists of bringing to America Russian youths who wish to have higher educations but cannot obtain them in their homeland. These youths will be educated in American Catholic universities in accordance with a student exchange plan. Massey Coming Next Week.

Parents Urged to Learn Reasons for Story-Telling. LONDON, February 12 (®).— Fib- bing children should not be despised, says Dr. Alice Hutchinson, because when a child tells a lie it has a reason for so doing. “Instead of turning away askance when a child fibs, let us rather find out what prompted the action, and then we can frequently lead the child to unburden itself as to why it has told a falsehood. Self-preservation is the commonest reason,” Dr. Hutchin- son said at Bedford College for Wom- en in an address. I} i - [T Harrisonburg—Valley T T ey 1 B g Leesburg—C. C. Saffer & Bro. CATHOLES SUNG OVERSCHOL FLND ‘| Bishop Hickey of Rhode Is- land Defendant With Vicar General of Diocese. | = By the Associated Press. | PROVIDENCE, R. I, | —A controversy between liam A. Hickey of the Providence dio- cese and French-American members of Catholic churches in Rhode Island over the use of funds from the church treasuries for the building of schools outside their parishes reached the State courts today | Ten suits in eq | counting_were filed Court. The petitioners, a number of French-American dents of the State, named as respondents Bishop Hickey, Mgr. Peter E. Blessing, vicar | of the diocese, and the corpo- jons of five churches in Woon- ‘ket, three in Pawtucket and one h in Central Falls and Manville. Bishop Wil- ty seeking an ac- the Superior Charge Misuse of Funds. The declarations charge that funds were unlawfully taken from the treas- uries of these churches and used for the building of schools outside the jshes in which the money was col- lected, as well as for the support of the Providence Visitor, weekly of- ficial organ of the Catholic Church in the State, and the National Catholic Welfare Board. The trouble started in 1923, when certain parishes of French-speaking people failed to raise their quota of an assessment made by Bishop Hickey to aid a million-dollar fund for the building of Catholic high schools throughout the diocese. Elphege Daignault, lawyer and editor of a French ne in_ Woonsocket, championed who protested against such use of church funds. Appeal Made to Rome. He appealed to the Holy Roman Rota, at Rome, which declined juris- diction, and then to the Sacred Con- gregational Council at Rome, which in December, 1925, denied the appeal. In effect what Daignault sought was protection from ex-communication in case he and his associates should be- gin legal action against Bishop Hickey. 3y Bishop Hickey and Mgr. Blessing declined to comment on the filing of the suits. P Because of the serious damage be- ing done by foxes to poultry in the Barmouth and Bontddu districts of Scotland, farmers there are hunting by moonlight.

PARIS THEATERS ARE HIT BY HIGH LIVING COST First Bad Season Since War Re- ! ported, Due to Taxes and High Salaries. By the Associated Press. = e e mrere———— PARIS, February 12.—Paris the- aters are having their first bad season since the war. High prices are the trouble. Managers complain of taxes, rents, salaries and the lack of hits. The public is not doing much com- plaining. it is staying at home. The “public,” for years, has had a large percentage of foreigners. Some of these left because of high prices and part of the remainder are econ- omizing, as are most of the French. The result is that the last hundred people that represent the theater's net profit is no longer paying from $2 up to see a show. Theater prices have almost ex- actly doubled in a year. That meant tremendous profits for a time, when bustmess was good, but business is no longer good. Carpentier, the fighter, is blamed for forcing up the salaries of stars. There are no good actors or actresses who do not feel they are worth as much as the fighter, so they want some increase. As a matter of fact, most of the stars get about an eighth of what Carpentier will be pald when he takes to the vaudeville stage in April. - 1,100 Grid Stars in Picture. Showing all the foot ball stars who have taken part in the finals for the American Association Cup since 1883, a composite photograph is being made by Guy Neville of London. Eleven hundred players on 86 teams, together with the directors and the officials of the association, are shown. The task was started four years ago.
