THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. e, MAY 26, 1929—PART 3. Tales of Well In Social an Commerce Jahncke, Assistant Navy Secretary, Noted for His Inte of Aquat, By MARGARET B. DOWNING Commodore Ernest Lee Jahncke's houseboat, Aunt Dinah, is famous in the bayous of his native state, Louis- fana, -and much interest exists as to whether the assistant of the Secretary of the Navy as Commodore Jahncke will bring that celebrated craft to Potomac waters. The Jancke home is at Covington, an easy sail from New Orleans, where the naval official is pres- ident of a dry dock and ship build- ing company, and on the banks of the picturesque river Chefunctee. It is a noted Creole mansion set among cen- tury-old oaks and grovessof the swamp magnolia. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy is commodore of the yacht club of the Crescent City and the sail- ing ships under his command dot the blue waters of Lake Ponchartrain and Lake Borfle. He has won his laurels on several fields of sport, and in the last was one of the tl delegates representing the United States on the international committee of the Olympic games. He will again join this com- mittee in June when it meets in Egypt to make some advisory measures re- garding the next meet. Mrs. Jahncke is one of New Orleans’ fairest daugh- ters Gras pageant and ball in her debut year. She spent all of last Summer at The Hague where her husband was lured by the great sporting classic and they had a villa near the North Sea, where they entertained scores of friends attending the games and like- wise many of the champions, * kX % Former President Coolidge was re- cently at lelsure to attend the meet- ing of the board of trustees of Amherst College for the first time in five year: His interest in his alma mater has always befn consuming, but public affairs recently prevented his giving it the attention of former years. The retired Chief Magistrate has been & member of this board since 1910. It is noteworthy that he was supremely | interested on all that concerned the development, of the sporting side of col- legiate life and that he led the move- ment to reorganize this pastime on the most advanced lines. The attend- ing physician of the institution has been named head of the department of physical education and an innovation is that at least from Amherst will pass the familiar term of coach and in its place will be the dignified title of pro- fessor of physical eduction: for base ball, for foot ball and for any other di- | This was Mr. Cool- | vision of athletics. idge's first visit to Amherst since he laid down the reins of government and hg was received b{x the city and of the college with be- fitting ceremonial. Having spent the day in the picturesque college. town, he took advantage of proximity to Hol- zoke to accept a dinner invitation from his former Secretary of Comerce and | Mrs. Willlam Fairfield Whiting. * ok ok % Prince Eugene de Beauharnals, a stepson of Napoleon, and created by him Duke of Leuchtenberg and vice roy or acting King of Italy, was one of the great eollectors of his era and the fact that his library, purchased in completeness by a professional collec- tor of Berlin, is soon to be sold at auc- tion has sent bibliophyles from all parts of the world scurrying to the German capital. Not. only. are the volumes of rarity and literary value, | but during his residence in Italy | Prince Eugene employed the most skill- ful bookbinders to cover his treasures, 50 that not alone for the contents but for coverings will the volumes mount in value. A copy of Homer, very ancient but reprinted in 1808 by the famous French printer Bodoni, will be coveted by at lcast three crowned heads of Europe, by the Vatican Library and by about a half dozen other famous libraries of this country and of Europe. Another cherished possession of Prince Eugene is a copy of Livy, embossed on the finest porchment in the Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino in 1449, and recovered in Florence in the early 1800's. Of the vast library of something like 25,000 volumes many were the property of Napoleon in his student days and are annoted in his hand. The majority are in French, containing rare editions of the encyclopediasts and of the illu. strious Gallic writers of Napoleon’s era, Voltaire, Mme. de Stael, and all the ro- manticists and poets of the time. In fact for a period of about thirty years of French of importance is missing. EEEE Mr. Walter B.

Shurtleff, eminent landscape | architect who has created marvelous il- | lusions of French, Italian and Spanish | | gardens in Florida and on Long Island. has surpassed himself in obiaining a | wonderful effect at the rear of the gar- dent, where, using dwarfed trees in the foreground and gradually increasing the | height of these as they descend the hill. he has achieved a level of dense green forest. and in a carefully pre- | pared vista is rising the smoke of the | distant village. for all the world like | the soft gray fumes of Fujl, the sacred mountain so familiar in all pict | Japanese gardens—whether on canvas, | screens or fans. When the village | smoke is not performing it is easy to duplicate the effect by odorless chem- | icals used in a stone-lined pit.

He had the pleasure of announcing not long ago many im- portant converts to his crusade of sav- ing the forests, among these the presi- ! dents of the universities of Yale, of | Pennsylvania. of Michigan, Wisconsin, | Towa, Oregon and_ Washington and of Syracuse.

More than 12 years ago, at the instance of the President | Mr. Hoover, Leland Standford, created a chair of forestry and this example was soon followed by the University of California, at Berkeley.

Mr. Pack was the creator of those excellent gardens on Potomac Point during the World War, an cxperiment which not only pro- vided fresh, wholesome food during a | time when all vegetables were scarce, | but also instilled the love of gardening | into city hearts.

Mr. Bragg, who has designed the edifice, in part follows the scheme of the original house described by Hawthorne in that each gable is | in a way a separate entity, containing rooms absolutely divided from the other gables and provided with every need for a transient guest. Since Mr. Bragg has intended this unique refuge entirely for visiting yachtsmen, the idea is classed as an’inspiration.
