16 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, ‘THURSDAY, MAY 2 1929, CAPITAL PICTURED NATION'S SYMBOL Lack of Representation Is Flouted Before Association of Oldest Inhabitants. Praising Pr nt Hoover's declar: tion that the National Capital should be a “symbol” of America, Henry H. Gla sie, Assistant Attorney General of the ington who felt this city should be sat- | bership Joseph Pearson Stephenson, isfled with money, boulevards, buildings | John Christian Rau and Byron A. and parks.. Graham. “I say they don’t understand what Dr. Summy Improving. President Hoover said,” retorted Mr. Glassie, “when he declared this city | should be more than a Capital City.” ‘Washington should be to America, the speaker declared, what Athens was said to have been to Greece, “the eye of the nation from which the soul | beamed out.” | Rejoicing in the great building pro- | gram in which he has a part as Assist- ant Attorney General in charge of con- demnation of property, Mr. Glassie de- | clared: “Don’t let these people lose their souls in brick and mortar.” While it is “great to have architec- ture and monuments,” the speaker em- | phasized thet it was important to know what the monuments stand for. | " 'The Egyptian pyramids, he explained, | stood for “‘superstition and slavery,” g eat monuments symbolizing the “un- requitted toil of hundreds of thousands United States, last night told the Asso- ciation of Oldest Inhabitants that it | should be a true symbol of “political, e i religious freedom.” . referring to political freedom, ie raised the question, “What | greatest principle is flouted and denied in the very place intended | for a symbol?" | he City of Washin, Mr. Glassie | tended, was not merely a reservation nd a collection of buildings, but a col- | Jection of living men and women with | Vital interests in American ideals. | Congratulating Theodore W. Noyes, | president of the Association of Oldest | Inhabitants, presiding officer of the eve- | ning, for the “wonderful work” he had done toward national representation for Washington, the speaker expressed the opinion that perhaps the most im- portant point in Mr. Noyes’ work for the | District had not been ly getting | B 1 recognition’ the prin- | on, .

President Hoover's message recently to the Chamber of Commerce of the | United States, in which he had charac- | terized this city as a symbol of America, | Mr. Glassie declared, had proved thrill- | ing to every American who heard the | President’s words. Should Represent Ideals. But what, he asked, was Washington | to symbolize? This city, he went on, | should stand for “all the greatest ideals | for which America stands.” This, he | declared, should not stop at a repre- | sentation of the wealth, the power, the resources, the material side of America. | ‘Washington, he claimed, should stand more for what America means in the realm of ideas, those ideas which had changed the world. | “The first of these principles” de- | clared Mr. Glassie, with emphasis, for | which he drew cheers of his audience, | *“is that free men must have representa- | tion in the government of the country | of which they are a part. That is the greatest of all things.” Pointing to an American flag on the wall, the speaker asked what a flag symbolized. To the Communist he sur- mised it might mean only a rag, stained speaker 1 | | can he declared it would symbolize what? Power? Wealth? Glory? Much | more than that. The flag symbolized | 1o the American, he said, political free- | dom, equality of economic oppormmby,l red, white and blue.

This is normally about 40 calories an hour per square meter of body surface, but with persons whose thyroid glands are disordered it may vary from 40 per cent below normal to 100 per cent above. Exces- sive thyroid activity, Dr. Yater ex- plained, produces various types of goiters, some of which can be treated | successfully with iodine. In some com- | plex way, the ijodine atom forms part | of the thyroxoid molecule. In such conditions as exothalmic goiter, where the eyeballs protrude and there sometimes is delirlum and mania, he explained, the nervous condition is |not due to the iodine deficiency alone, | but to some toxin produced in the body. | Such patients have greatly excessive | metabolism and find heat intolerable. Tells of Procedure. | The operative procedure in such | cases was explained by Dr. Moran and ‘th(‘ treatment after opertaion by Dr. | Sager. Several successful operations, in | which it was necessary to remove part |of the gland, have been performed at | Emergency. Seven of these patients | were called to the platform and their | condition demonstrated. | A successful surgical procedure has | been worked out for draining the peri- cardium, or sac which surrounds and protects the heart, said Dr. Arthur M. Yater, Robert E. Moran and Warren | Shipley of Baltimore. This requires ex- tremely delicate surgery because of the danger of plercing the heart, he ex- plained.

NEW YORK, May 2 (#).—A Brooklyn restaurant proprietor was arrested last night by detectives who said he was a convicted burglar and had escaped from State prisons in Arizona and Louisiana.
