Although members of Congress are as | uninformed as the general public about | the men who will sit in the next cab- | inet, it is significant that an expectation prevails about the appointment of per- | gons of outstanding ability. ! Briefly, Congress is not expecting a | cabinet of politicians but rather of suc- | cessful business men. The experiment which President Harding tried in call- ing Andrew Mellon to the public service has_been accepted as prouf that a wealthy man is frequently an inde-! pendent-minded and useful public servant. Too many men have come to the cabinet without sufficient means to be free in mind as they wrestled with Government_problems. ~ And the marn who doesn’t have to worry about a busi- ness connection in later life when he leaves the public service is often most zealous in protecting the Government's interest. The consensus now is that the Hoover | cabinet will recognize three elements— the political world, the business com- munity and the religious issue of the last campaign. Geographical considera- tions will play a part, but not a con- | trolling one. $37,000 to clear the church debt. books, altar cloths and vessels. An active unit of the parish which now is in the midst of a drive for dson, Mrs. Charles W. Allen, d, Mrs. Samuel A. Kimberly, Mrs. J. The group has charge of arranging the hym- Left to right: Alternately—Mrs. J. , Miss E. Semple Pettis, Miss Eleanor C. Flournoy, Mrs. William Baird, Miss E. Bertha Chinn and Miss Angela B. Armat. On the political side recognition is ex- pected to be given to former Repre- sentative James W. Good of Iowa, who managed the pre-convention campaign. He was formerly chairman of the House appropriations committee and is an out- standing and capable individual who would deserve consideration even if he had not been in the Hoover campaign. Donovan Elevation Seen. Col. William Donovan, Assistant At- torney General, was one of the earliest of the Hoover campaigners. He has Deen in active charge of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Sargent. His appointment is considered a foregone concusion because Mr. Sargent has no desire to remain and because Mr. Donovan's selection would be an answer to the cries of intolerance raised in the last campaign. ‘The appointment of a Catholic to the cabinet has been foreshadowed for some time, and while in no sense of the word is Mr. Donovan’s selection based upon religious discussion, it is neverthe- less a coincidence that the man who started out as one of the early Hoover workers happens aiso to be familiar with the working of a big department of the Government and to have had a large part in shaping its policles under the Coolidge administration. Every President feels privileged to ap- point some of his personal friends. He | | panied Miss Love, was slightly burned, does not select them because they are his friends and can trust them, but be- wuse he knows the personal equation. hus Mr. Coolidge picked Attorney Gen- | eral Sargent, and before him Harlan | Stone and lately Secretary Whiting of the Commerce Department. It happens that Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, one of the most prominent business men in America, the head of the successful mail-order house, Sears, Roebuck & Co., has been one of the strongest supporters Herbert in war-time Washington, and the friendship has been a close one ever since. Mr. Rosenwald’s faith in Mr. Hoover has been such that he entered into the last campaign actively in his behalf. y Secretaries of the Interior have come from Illinois and the Middle West, hence the discussion has pointed foward the possible selection of Mr. Rosenwald for that post, though he would fit, of course, into the Commerce Department er any other portfolio, Rosenwald Beloved. ‘There is the fact that Mr. Rosenwald is perhaps one of the most beloved among the Jews of the Natlon, his philanthropies having been very ex- tensive all his life. But it would not be merely as a compliment to the Jews that Mr. Hoover, however anxious to | erase any feeling of intolerance, would | consider Mr. Rosenwald. It is the | fact that the Chicago philanthropist is | well known to the farmers of the coun- | try as a sincere and capable man, and | the President-elect is desirous as much | as possible of convineing the farmers that his cabinet will have men who will be sympathetic with the farmer's problems. Another man of exceptional ability being considered by Charles Evans Hughes. for secretary of state. The latter left the portfollo because he wanted . to rovide for his future income. He has n remarkably successful, and 1t is believed he would like some day to go back to the Supreme Court of the United States, especially if Mr. Taft should retire, Mr. Hughes is probably disinclined to go back to the cabinet, as he has | lately been made a justice of the World | Court, but it remains to be seen whether Herbert Hoover can persuade him to take hold again of the Department of State. ‘There is & question whether Mr. Hoover can prevail on these men to accept. It is not certain that Mr. Rosenwald would care to sever his tles in Chicago and come to Washington Pay Your Bills Start the Christmas Holidays with a (lean Slate Easy to Pay Monthly Deposit For 12 Months $10.00 $15.00 $20.00 $25.00 $360 §30.00 $540 $45.00 $1,200 $100.00 $6,000 $500.00 Loan $120 $180 $240 $300 It is not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to Borrow.

She was treated at Sibley Hospital, where her condi- tion was said to be not serious. ‘The money was being taken to the Treasury Department for redemption when the crash occurred. All but $6 was recovered. William Bowie, assist- ant cashier of the bank, who accom- but refused treatment.

Sol Herzog ISHOP FREEHAN S CHURCH DRV }Speaks at Opening Dinner| for Workers in St. Thomas’ Episcopal Fund Campaign. ‘The most popular thing in the world is 1eligion and there was never more religion than today, p James E. Freeman declared last night at the opening dinner for workers in the cam- paign of the parish of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church for funds to liquidate a building debt and rebuild the organ. “Crusades of this kind register the enthusiasm and the new interest in the church Life,” the bishop said, ruging the workers to put their best efforts into the drive, which seeks $37,000. The _dinner was held in the parish | hall. Maj. Ennalls Waggaman, heading the drive, was toast master, and Dr. William S. Bishop pronounced the in- vocation. Other speakers were Senator Walter E. Edge, represen the vestry, and Rev. M. W. Riker, tant rector, The meeting was closed with a short talk by Dr. C. Hrnest Smith, rector of the church, who has served at St.| ‘Thomas’ for 27 years. Arrangements were made by a committee headed by Mrs. H. E. Copenhaver. 56 ARRESTS LISTED | BY TRAFFIC OFFICER, | Tendency of Motorists to “Speed Up” Because of Cold Weather Assigned as Cause. A tendency on the part of motorists to ‘“speed up” because of the cold weather was given today as the reason for the 56 names that appeared on his arrest book by Traffic Bureau Police- man R. V. Sinclair when he appeared in Police Court. Sinclair worked only six hours yes- terday—from 5:30 until 11:30—which means he made an average of one ar- | rest ever seven minutes. Thirty-five of the arrests were for speeding. Fifty- five of the persons arrested pleaded guilty and were fined by Judge John P. McMahon in Traffic Court this morn- ing. The other case was continued. Included in the list of Sinclair's “victims” were seven truck drivers, and these came in for particular attention from Judge McMahon, who remarked that those who failed to pay attention to his warnings against truck speeding would get no sympathy from the court. Each was fined $25. G by PROTEST NEW CALENDAR. ATHENS, December 7.—The ad- herents of the old Greek calendar adopted in 1752, which was changed in 1923, are complaining that they have been prevented from celebrating festi- vals in accordance with the old calendar. Premier Venizelos today re- quested the Archbishop of Athens to settle the question by permitting such celebrations in special churches. The movement resembles that which ac- curred in England after the adoption of the Gregorian calenda: Home of the Budget —we can’t help but impress that these are Regular $40 and $45 wo-Pants Suits that we’re offering at $29.50 —and we don’t want you to pairs of pants. —not a sale—but a feature value, these Blue confuse them with ““sale’’ suits We didn’t go to some strange producer of Sales Type Clothes for these suits—BUT WE GOT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM FROM OUR REGULAR MANUFACTURER— and they are all of the finest all-wool worsteds (BLUE SERGES, TOO) in exactly the patterns, models and work- manship that are sold at $40 and $45.

BAPTISTS ACT TO BAR BIBLE STUDY IN SCHOOLS South Carolina Legislature Asked to Forbid Teaching Scriptures in State-Supported Institutions. By the Associated Press. COLUMBIA, S. C., December 7. Baptists of the State at the closing s slon of their convention here yesterday, adopted a resolution to memoralize the legislature of South Carolina to forbid the teaching of the Bible as a text book in any school or institution in South Carolina supported by taxation as a whole or in part, The committee on the complete sep- aration of church and State offered the resolution, declaring that in the view of the committee the State’s business is to protect and not to promote reli- gious matters. The various versions of the Bible, in the opinion of the com- mittee, make it difficult for a State- supported institution to pick any one for use as a text book. Religious train- ing of the children of the State, it was felt, should come through the homes, in the churches, and in denominational OPERA SINGER WEDS.
