THE e —— " SEETARFF CURB 10 SPEGULATON Couzens Proposes Amend- ment to Bill Authorizing New Short-Term Securities. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. . B U, TILLS TURNED INTO CANDLE! By the Associated Press The tariff bill apparently is to be made the vehicle for the efforts long threatened in the Senate to curb the | use of credit in stock market specula- tion. | | That conclusion was drawn today | from the outburst against “the orgy of | speculation,” which developed in the | Senate late yesterday prior to passage | of the administration bill to authorize | issuance of a new form of Treasury | short-term securities, which will bear | %0 interest, but will be sold at a dis- count. The bill already has been passed by the House, but will require further | consideration because of an amendment adopted by the Senate eliminating a provision exempting holders from the Capital gains tax | “That amendment was proposed by | Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, | who assailed the Federal Reserve Board | because the rediscount rate had not | been raised, a_measure which he con- | tended would have checked the use of | credit in speculation. Taking what was Tegarded as a fling at Secretary Mellon, | he declared Governmental officials who | have asked that income surtax rates be lowered to liberate money for in- dustry should now move for the taking of money out of the “gambling pool” for the same purpose. His ideas about_the rediscount rate | were opposed by Senator Glass, Dem- | ocrat, Virginia, one of the framers of | the Federal Reserve act and a former Secretary of the Treasury, who con- gratulated the board on its resistance 10 the “pounding” of the New York Re- serve Bank for raise in the rediscount | ate. Such a raise, he held, would have | been a penalty rather than a help to business. At the same time the Virginia Sena- | tor announced his intention to propose | & 5 per cent tax on transactions in | stocks held less than 60 days as an | amendment to the tariff bill when it | comes before the chamber. He also | declared he would favor repeal of the | eral Reserve act provision allowing | 13-day loans on Unitd States bonds. | President Hoover and former Presi- dent Coolidge also came in for criticism during the discussion. Senator Glass | | charged that the President had “liter- ally jumped into the stock pit” recently with'a statement that “there was nothe | ing to be apprehended from this riot of six billions of dollars of credit in | stock gambling.” Senator King, Demo- | crat, Utah, who has proposed a Senate | investigation, said Calvin Coolidge while President had ‘“expressed ap- proval, certainly not disapproval, of the large amount then used, nearly four bil- lions dollars, for stock gambling pur- ) “Calm_consideration” was urged by | Senator Edge, Republican, of New Jer- sey, who argued that the credit problem was ‘“one of the most delicate with which we have to deal.” Senator Wat- son of Indiana, the Republican leader, taking a similar view, observed that there was “quite a difference of opinion | as to what the board should do,” and cited the large number of individuals and_corporations who have sought to | profit by the high interest rates by put- ting money into the call loan market. | e TROPHY WINNER NAMED IN SAFETY COMPETITION | W.

What becomes of the moonshiner’s still after the prohibition agent confis- cates it? It goes to Walter Reed Hospital, where the copper pipes are cut up and remolded into artistic candlesticks and the sheet metal is cut, hammered and polished into ash tr finger bowls and flower vases by disabled veterans in the occuptional therapy division. Thus the instrument of the breaker serves a good purpose in the | | 1 law- and fingers from ue degenerating | monotony of hospital life and_provides | a source of revenue by which the | wounded men can secure spending | money or help support their families. | Confiscated stills, wrecked carefully so that the metal is damaged as little as | vossible, are the chief source of the hospital's copper supply. It costs the patients mothing, and some of them have become expert_coppersmiths, able to earn a living at this trade after dis- charge. Casket to Become Trinkets. | The other day the hospital received | a monster still—approximately 7 feet | long, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It| probably was made originally as a casket, then converted into an ap‘wa- ratus for making liquoy, and now the material will find its way in the form of trinkets into many Washington homes. | Occupational therapy is one of the | chief adjuncts of medical and surgical | treatment at Walter Reed. t serves | four purposes, say hospital officials. The shop work keeps the minds of the | patients off their troubles, it gives them a temporary means of earning a living, n many cases it provides them with a trade or a hobby for after-life, and, in special cases, it is sugar-coated exercise | skillfully arranged to call certain | musicles into play so that the patient | is treated without realizing it. The work in copper is only one of a score | of activities. In the hospital shops | Regular Army colonels work side by side | with World War buck privates making | metal trinkets, weaving rag mats, fashg | joning baskets or molding and glazing | artistic pottery. Sometimes articles of | considerable value and artistic merit are | produced. | Makes Silver Service Set. One Regular Army colonel, without | previous experience in metal work, turned out a silver service set which could hardly be distinguished from the | work of a professional silversmith as a Christmas present for his family. Work ing in silver is one of the favorite oc- cupations of the patients because, while they must purchase the metal, there is always a ready market for the articles. There are tasks for all sorts and de- grees of disability. “It keeps a fellow from going ‘psycho,’” as it was stated by one patient in the hospital 28| months who had undergone a serious operation and for months had lain in a body cast, unable to move anything | but the tips of his fingers, Occupa- tional therapy aides had rigged up on his bed a special stand, by means 01‘ which he was able to work on leather | pocket books, and after a few weeks actually to earn money in this helpless | condition. He became an expert leather worker. Now he is convinced that, whatever happens to him in the future. | he always will be able to take care of | himself.” He is out of the cast and able to walk around the hospital. “Even when I was flat on my back unable to move any part of my body and unable to sleep,” he said, “the time | seemed to fly after I found that there | was something I actually could do. Be- | | fore that I was pretty far gone with | | the idea that the world was giving me | a raw deal. I don't suppose I'll do any | of this work after I get out. I'm a| Regular Army soldier. But at least I've | got a hobby for my old age. And I know now that a fellow has to be at least dead, if not buried, before he reaches the stage where there is nothing he can do.” Special Technique Developed. Occupational therapy originally was used almost entirely with mental cases, where a_special technique was de- veloped. The types that come to Walter | Reed are temporary, but following | nervous _breakdowns-or_psychoses due | to emotional stresses, their minds are extremely confused. They work to-| gether, mostly on mats with simple de- | signs. ‘The way in which the design is | worked out gives a good index of the progress of the patient. Even the usually makes a tegrible botch of the simplest pattern, but he is kept at it. When he shows improvement a more difficult pattern, requiring him to carry more details in his head, is substituted. ‘Thus the confused brain is retrained. It is taught to think all over again.: So long as it is carrying the details of | a pattern it is not degenerating further into the bottomless morass of the psychosis. As soon as the patients show marked improvement they are trans- ferred to the shops with the other patients. Mat making is one of the most popular pastimes, not only be- cause it is comparatively easy but be- cause there generally is a ready market. The colors and designs also appeal to the imagination. It is probably the easiest work from a mechanical stand- point and can be started when the patient is still bedridden. Basket mak- ng is another occupation which proves popular with most of the patients, and is of particular value for those partially bedridden or those nearly blind, since it can be done by the sense of touch alone once the technique is mastered.

J. who has made careful observation of the value of different task: Few of the patients have any mechanical skiil waen they first come to the shops and they are put to work at simple tasks until they develop the technique. The articles made in the occupational therapy shops find their way into hun- dreds of Washington homes. Not only has an excellent trade grown up for trinkets, rugs, articles which can be used as bridge rizes, but there has been a constant flow of discarded material for the use of the veterans. Some of the articles manufactured are seldom sold. This is the case es- pecially with toys. In the woodworking and clay modeling shops great ingenu- ity has been shown in creating toys, but' the time required is so great that it seidom is profitable and the patients keep their creations for their own families. MUSIC INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL ART CONCERT. A closing event of the season for the Institute of Musical Art, which was organized about & year ago by & group of leading musicians of Washington, was the concert presented by students at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church last night. The program was distinguished by the admirable ensemble work of the studen orchestra, which opened and closed th program and gave a couple of other se. lections as well. Directed by Dr. C. E. Christiana, president of the school and | head of the violin department, the or- chestra provided a demonstration of what can be done by regular, frequent rehearsals, intelligently appiled with even young student groups. The violin section was very good indeed and the piano and wind instruments were well blended into the ensemble. Particularly attractive was the interpretation given the allegro movement of Haydn's “Sec- ond Symphony.” Of the solo violinists, young Stanley Smith showed marked progress and talent. With a little more confidence in himself and authority in giving the spirit of the compositions he plays, he would gain considerably. He has nice, rounded tone quality and a feeling for the meaning of the music he plays, vet he did not meet half way the in- viting 1ilt of Mozart's “Minuet in G.” Mildred Fleenor O'Bear showed good technique and played her selection well. Samuel Gantz also played well. The two pianists who gave solo selec- | itons both won especially enthusiastic applause from the audience. Little Glenn Carow, a gifted child, has in- dividuality in his tone color and dis- crimination in interpretation. He be- came lost for a second in the intricacies of the Schubert-Liszt “Hark, Hark the Lark,” but he showed poise in the way he handled the situation. Martin A. Dowd, an older pianist, showed author- ity in’ his rendition of ‘the Grieg “Con- cérto in A Minor,” with orchestra ac- companiment, and & remarkable facility in the many arpeggio passages. The pianists were presented by B. Frank Gebest. Due to fillness, Claire Phil- omene Sgueo did not appear in her solos. There were two singers in solo num- bers. Adelaide Watson, a coloratura with a remarkable trill 'and_ability at florid_cadenzas, sang “The Wren,” by Benedict. Young Mortimer Davenport gave a group of art songs with much style and also sang the famous duet from “La Forza del Destino” with John Russell Mason in the baritone part. Mr. Mason showed excellently placed tone for rich volume, well controlled. Otto Torney Simon, who presented the sing. ers, accompanied the soloists sympathe. tically in their groups of songs; Mr. ldJov."d was an able accompanist for the uet. A clarinet solo, not announced on the program, was given by Lucille Gouge, accompanied on the piano by Katherine Wells. H. F. VON UNSCHULD COMMENCEMENT. The Von Unschuld Univesity of Music held its twenty-fifth anniversary com- : mencement in the ballroom of the New Willard last evening before an audlence which filled the hall to its capacity and applauded enthusiastically the artistic periwrmances of the students. Admira- ble training was apparent in each number. The graduate was Maxim Snavely in the group of the normal course for public school, receiving a teacher’s cer- tificate. Thomas Littlepage delivered the ad- dress. He congratulated Mme. Von Unschuld on her aim to give solid train- ing by disregarding the general trend of speeding an education, which only can be obtained by a gradual, carefully guided development. Recalling his ob- servation of similar institutions in Eu- rope, he approved this institution which has built on the same principies in the | Capital of the United States. The soloists and ensemble musicians on the program were: Frances Brunt, Frederick Roop, Virginia Coffman, Ell- wood Backenstoss, Ralph Bucca, Marga- ret Alexander, Ann Moffat, Everett Ste- vens, Edwin Harkins, Ludwig Manoly, Arno Petrenka, Evelyn Foster, D. Bow- ersax and Amelia Bates. Mme. Von Unschuld, who, in addition to playing the second piano for two concertos, gave a paraphrase on “Die Fledermaus,” Strauss-Schuett, which was received with particularly warm applause. —_— King Zog Replaces Zogu.

A resolution was adopted at last night's meeting authorizing appoint- ment of a committee of five to mn- | vestigate and report at the next meeting in October. The committee is composed of Frederick J. Rice, chairman; H. H. McKee, larley V. ‘Speelman, W. B. Todd and Charles T. Clayton. |~ The resolution was adopted after a motion requesting the Federation of Citizens' Associations to reconsider its | vote in recognizing the new association | had been tabled. Mr. Hiatt was recently | succeeded as president by William W. | Adams. Protests Paving Assessments. | A resolution was adopted at the meet- ing asking a repeal of the law requiring special assessments from property own- ers for widening, extending and paving arterial highways bordering on their | property. | The association adopted another reso- | lution urging an appropriation be made | available for additions to the Central | Public Library, as recommended by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. The resolution is to be for- | warded to the president of the Board of District Commissioners, the chairman of the board of trustees of the library, the public librarian, Dr. George F. Bower- man; the Bureau of the Budget and the chairmen of the Senate and House Dis- trict committee. As a means of widely advertising the celebration here in 1932 of the two- hundredth aniversary of the birth of George Washington, the association urged in a resolution that all business and professional persons have the legend “Washington Bicentennial, 1932" on their stationery. ———— Adaditional Subjects Considered. Other resolutions adopted were as follows: A resolution requesting that Harvard street, between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets, be designated a one-way street for east bound traffic only; a resolution that all automobile route signs In the city, for the benefit of tourists, be made to conform with sim- ilar signs in Maryland, with white back- grounds and black letters, instead of on a black background with gilt letters; a resolution urging that the District authorities have the curb set back on Fifteenth street in front of the Chapin street entrance to Meridian Park, and a resolution asking the District author- itles to place metal discs instead of painted white lines to mark the cross- ! walks at several street intersections in Columbia Heights.
