MAN GETS 150 DAYS FOR TAXICAB THEFT Vaughn L. Tomlin Also Is Held for Action of Grand Jury. Vaughn L. Tomlin, 28, who was cap- tured last night by two policemen after being chased to Alexandria in a | taxicab, which he is accused of steal- ing, was sentenced to 150 days in jail | by Traffic Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt today and held for the action of the grand jury by Judge Ralph Given. Policemen 'W. J. King and W. M. Sanford of the Traffic Bureau noticed the cab being driven recklessly, they charged, down Ninth street, and when they attempted to stop the driver he increased his speed. The officers gave chase_through the Mall, across High- way Bridge to Alexandria. In the 100 block of North Harvard street, Alexandria, Tomlin jumped from the cab and attempted to escape through the railroad yards. He was arrested and turned over to Policeman L. E. Padgett of Alexandria, who took him back to Highway Bridge and there turned *him over to the local officers. Tomlin was sentenced to 120 days for operating without a permit, 30 days for reckless driving and held in default of $1,000 bond for the grand jury to answer a charge of joy-riding. ‘The cab, belonging to the Black and ‘Taxi C been stolen while She Had All i the “Symptdms”' The patent medicine advertisements held a depressing fascination for her. .Did one speak of “dizziness?” She had it!

NOVEMBER s N 22, 1928 NAES LANDGRANT COLLEES HEAD Association Chooses Dean Anson Marston of lowa as President. Dean Anson Marston of Towa, retir- ing vice president, was chosen today as president of the Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities by the executive body of the organization, and the forty-second annual convention, that has been in session for three days at the New Willard Hotel, moved to close. This action came after the essocia- tion, in general session, had listened dresses by Secretary Roy O. West of the Interior Department, Merle Thorpe, editor of the Nation’s Busi- ness, officlal organ of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and Dr. A. J. Klein' of the Bureau of Edu- cation. Other officers chosen were: Vice pres- ident, J. G. Lipman of New Jersey; sec- retary-treasurer, re-elected, Dean C. A. McCue of Delaware; assistant treas- urer, re-elected, Dean J. L. Hills of Vermont, who has just relinquished the post of president of the association, and Dean F. E. Turneaure of Wisconsin, to vacancy on the executive commit- tee vacated by Dean Lipman. Promising every possible assistance of the Department of the Interior, Sec- retary West, in a brief address, extolled the teaching profession. The close inter-relation of business and agriculture and the solicitude of business for agriculture were empha- sized by Mr. Thorpe. Prefacing his address with a tribute to Dr. John J. Tigert, until recently commissioner of education in the In- terior Department and now president of the University of Florida, a land grant college, Secretary West reviewed the growth of the land grant colleges in the last decade and pointed to the great interest of the people in these in- stitutions, as evidenced by increased appropriations, teachers and students. “It is all very heartening for the country,” said the cabinet officer. “This is evidence that the people are alive to the fact that the most patriotic service that can be rendered is edu- cation. The most inspiring avocation, the most helpful avocation, the most patriotic avocation, is the teaching of young men and young women along the lines of the colleges. “You have the chance to instill into those young people that presence, that reserve force that we call character. You have more to do with character building that anybody else. The De- partment of the Interior will render you every possible assistance.” Complimenting the association on coming to Washington with a view io getting together and solving problems and returning home to do the job itself, Mr. Thorpe told the educators that * have too many people coming to Was) ington to leave things on Washington's doorstep, asking Washington and the Federal Government to do things that could be better done at home.” Each person is donating one day's work a week to pay taxes, the editor informed his hearers. Close relation between various factors in business life today were stressed by Mr.. Thorpe. There is giant competi- tion among groups for a larger share of the consumer’s dollar, he pointed out, adding, “There are 40 food groups in this new competition.” Mr. Thorpe ridiculed the idea that business is _unsympathetic to the farmer, pointing to the work that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has done to assist in formu- lating. a program and the dependency of business on agriculture’s prosperity. The 1929 annual convention, it was indicated at the morning meeting, will be held in Chicago. Progress of the task of the Bureau of Education in compiling a survey of the land grant colleges was explained by Dr. A. J. Klein, chief of the division of higher education of the bureau. Dr. Klein expressed appreciation for the co- operation given by the college authori- ties and answered what he sald were some criticisms directed against the ?uesuonnnires sent out. Almost one- ourth of the total possible question- naires, he said, has been received, with 51 institutions and more than 200 ques- tionnaires already in. He explained that no time limit was set for com- pleting the survey and that the home economics group has returned the largest number of questionnaires so far, with Florida, Virginia and Utah leading by States. e ——————— sy ADAIR OFFICIALS PLAGED ON TRIAL Four Face Jury on Charge of Plot to Obtain $2,875,000 by Fraud.
