:ns. Gann Accorded Place of | iden onor at Former Ambas- sador Anderson’s Dinner. 1 “Some light last night was thrown on | “precedence tangle” agitating the State Department and soclety in gen- eral, over the rank to:be accorded Mrs. ‘Edward Everett Gann, sister and official- hostess of Vice President Curtis, when Mr, Curtis was the dinner guest of the former Ambassador to Japan and Mrs. Anderson, but in the absence there any members of the diplomatic corps, l e egflncip;l question at issue was not The party, however, was given added cial significance from the fact that: the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Adams' and Senator and Mrs. Sackett Were guests. As at the White House dinner the evening before, no question was raised as to the ranking place of Mrs. Gann. Just as President Hoover took Mrs. Gann in to dinner and seated her at his right, so Mr. Anderson fol- lowed suit, Mrs. Anderson- having the Vice President on her right. Mrs. Gann therefore ranked above the other guests. Hostesses Use Tact. It has been the custom of the most successful hostesses of Washington not to ask Ambassadors and the Vice Presi- dent to the same dinner parties, nor yet to ask on the same occasion Ambassa- dors and the Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court, nor again, foreign Min- isters and justices of the Supreme Court. Where the State Department has for, years left the question of preci- dence unsettled, they simply steer clear of the pitfall by giving additional din- ners, dividing the guests in a manner to raise no question. Mrs. Richard H. Townsend, who in more than 30 years of entertaining members of Washington society, both official .and. unofficial, is said to never have committed a faux pas,-and this is her solution of the problem: ‘When there is a question, give another dinner party and do not subject your guests to | embarrassment. Precedence Long Ignored. For several years there has been a| particular disregard of the subject of precedence in Washington society, and | the real cause of the Vice President’s appeal to the Secretary of Stafe to res- cind the ruling of former, Secretary Kellogg is said to have arisen at bru.k fast, where the Vice President and his Tomorr oW In The Hecht Co, | |ar ailments, is said to have had exten- brother-] B cepting ‘the State Department’s L to have ac- mllfll.mhutsmm o md nbu at the one T e, “HEALTH INSTITUTE" OPERATOR CONVICTED|: Barnett Rubin Found Guilty of Practicing Medicine Without a License, Convicted by a Police Court jury of practicing medicine without a Barnett Rubin, formerly of the 1400 | block of Irving street and operator of Rubin’s Health Institute, was commit- ted to jail today to await sentence. The “health institute,” for the treat- ment of rheumatism, arthritis and simi- sive patronage. According to Assistant United States. Attorney Joseph C.| Bruce, many wealthy residents of Washington have been treated there. Rubin’s speciality was said to be what he termed a “72-hour cure.” The cure consisted of applications of an ¢ “fment; witnesses testified, and said tha: “ubin | informed one witness the healing po- tion was transported to Weshington by airplane. Another declared the healer informed her it was a herb sent from Altiwugh arrested several times be- fore, Rubin has never been convicted.
