' 17 EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D MONDAY, OCTOBER “NAVY HOLDS OPEN HOUSE FOR NATION Capital Leads Country in Observance of Day, With Extensive Program. (Continued From First Page) ~ by Capt. George F. Unmacht of the Army’s Chemical Warfare Service, president of Washington Chapter, No. 3, National Sojourners, and also com- mander of the D. C. Chapter of the Military Order of the World War. The ceremonies were under auspices of the National Sojourners, the Military Order of the World War and the American ‘War Mothers and were held at 11:30 o'clock. Army Chaplain Gives Invocation. The invocation was pronounced by Chaplain Alfred T. Oliver, U. 8. Army. In the course of his brief address, Capt. Unmacht asserted that “the purpose of Navy day is to pay a tribute to the great part the Navy has piayed in mak- ing and keeping us & nation and also to foster a better understanding on the part of the American public of the pres- ent day activities of the naval service. He recrlled that the day likewise marks the anfiversary of the birth of Theo- dore FKoosevelt, “who was a constant and effective advocate of the national defense 1n general and naval defense in particular.” Paying a tribute to John Paul Jones, Capt. Unmacht said: “He was the first man to receive a commission, the first to comraand a vessel, the first to raise the Continental flag over an American man-of-var. He drafted our first naval regulations, he was present when the first enemy ship struck her colors to our infant Navy.” Capt. C. A. Abele, U. S. Navy, in an- other tribute to John Paul Jones, as- serted: “He lald down the qualifica- tions of a naval officer, which are fun- damental: they obtain today as they did when forn:ulated for the naval com- mittee of Congress 150 years ago.” Rear Admiral T. J. Cowle, paymaster general, United States Navy, retirea, commander-in-chief of the Military Order of the World War, placed wreath on behalf of that order, while ‘Capt. Unmacht placed another or be- half of the National Sojourners, The ‘American War Mothers likewise placed a wreath and benediction was pro- nounced by Chaplain Arlingtor: A. Mc- Callum of the Military Order of the World War. High winds at Lakehurst, N. J., were blamed for keeping the Navy's big dirigible Los Angeles and the ZMC-2 in their hangars there. Both craft were scheduled to arrive in Washingtor: dur- mf the day as rlrt of the Navy day celebration, but ndications this morn- ing were that they would not be here. “This was announced ir. early dispatches " from the New Jersey Naval Air Sta- tion to the Navy Department. Aerial “Zero Hour” at 2:30. “Zero hour” for the Navy's aerial program was set for 2:30 p.m., at which time a Navy 02-U observation plane from the Anacostia Naval Air Station bombarded visitors at the Washington Navy Yard with small paper balls con- taining messages of greeting. At the .uun': ttmen- bltg trl‘momr‘;d Navy Ford transport plane, carrying mvyll parachute jumpers, took off for a multiple parachute jump over the alr station. ‘This jump wn?xpecnd to set a new record for jumps from a sin- gle airplane. ‘The jumpers included . six Navy and Marine Corps officers, and five enlisted men, among them Lieut. Apollo Soucek, holder of the world sea- plane altitude record. At 2:40 pm., a formation of five Navy 02-U planes took off under com- mand of Lieut. M. B. Gardner, oper- atlons officer at the local station, for a demonstration of military formation fiying. ‘Ten minutes later, there was to be a demonstration of aerial acrobatics by three Marine Corps pilots in fighting lanes from the FEast Coast expedi- zlonlry force at Quantico, Va. Williams Stunts. The, Marines were to be followed by Lieut. Alford J. Williams, famous Navy speed pilot, who was to put og a demon- stration of acrobatics in the special Navy fighting plane in which he set a world record for continuous inverted flight a few weeks ago during the na- . tional air races at Cleveland. The aerial demonstration will close with the laying of a smoke screen across the field by a Navy Curtiss fight~ ing plane, Howe Discusses Arms Cut. If the forthcoming London confer- ence on the limitation of naval arma- ments succeeds, an agreement will be reached in spite of the pacifists, Mr. Howe told his audience at the brief ceremony held shortly after noon at the Navy Building, Seventeenth and B streets. “There are some serious-minded citi- gens who proclaim loudly the gospel of peace, but, whether they know it or not, oppose the only sound and effective means of effecting the limit of navies —that is, by international agreement,” Mr. Howe asserted “For when cruisers have been needed to make real our Government’s policy such citizens have been found invariably in the opposi- tion. “When satisfactory agreement is made in London—as we all hope it will be made—the advocates of reasonable defense may feel they played a con- structive part in the achievement. And I believe the pacifists and incurable optimists will have to recognize, if they are logical, that the agreement was made, not because of their efforts, but in spite of them. “Now that there is ground for hope that the principle of limitation by agreement will be carried still further, 1 believe we may felicitate ourselves and our Government because of the better understanding of the naval question, promoted by the observance of Navy day,” Mr. Howe concluded. Eighth Navy Day Anniversary. Tracing the development of the Navy day celebration, fdstered by the Navy League, Mr, Howe recalled that today is the eighth anniversary of the event. This celebration, he said, gives oppor- tunity to the American people to share their regard for the Navy, and he de- clared that apathy toward the Navy is p‘;:)intinl out that the Navy and paval Himitation are questions of the day, Mr. Howe asserted that “we have urged the desirability of limiting navies further by international agreement on the basis set forth by the American delegation - @t the Washington conference of 1921-2. The Marine Band rendered selections during the brief ceremony and officers of the Navy Department changed from their customary civillan dress into blue uniforms as a further mark of the ob- servance of Navy day. Floral Tribute fo Dewey. A floral tribute was placed on the tomb of Admiral Dewey and a prayer service held at the tomb by the Naval and Military Order of the Spanish War in the Bethiehem Chapel of Washington Cathedral today at 10:30 o'clock. Prayers were recited by Rev. Dr. George F. Dudley, chaplain of the order, and by Rev. John W. Gummere of the Washington Cathedral staff. color guard from the United States . Marine Corps also took part in the ceremony. Col. Robert Lee Longstreet was chair- man of the committee in charge of arrangements for the exercises. s et MR Governor Raises Cotton. Gov.

DOCTORS OPEN MEDIGAL BUILDING Newest ldea; of Science Are Embodied in Eight-Story Development. Members of the medical profession who own and occupy the new Columbia Medical Building, million-dollar struc- ture on the northeast corner of Nine- teenth and I streets, which embodies the newest ideas on medical science equipment, were hosts yesterday eve- ning to several hundred persons at the formal opening of the eight-story devel- | opment. Officers of the Columbia Medical Building Co., Inc.,, who served as a re- ception committee, were Dr. Charles S. White, president* Dr. Edward L. Morri- son, vice president; Dr. Charles Hyde, treasurer, and Dr. Oscar B. Hunter, secretary. Physicians’ suites in the building, es- pecially designed to suit the needs of the tenant owners, were colorful with flowers and Autumn leaves. A feature of the new plant that brought forth much comment was the compactness of the offices. The light rooms, modern equipment and attractive furnishings also aroused complimentary comment. Diagnostic laboratories, surgical equipment, X-ray machines and other modern developments for treatment and medical service, were on display in the various suites of the physicians having space in the building. Members of the medical profession who make up personnel of the Colum- bia Medical Building Co. also are in- cluded in the organization, Washing- ton Medical Building Co., which oper- ates the similar building on the north- west corner of Eighteenth and I streets. The Columbia building contains a drug store on the main floor, a barber shop, lunch and soda fountain, tailor shop, towel and linen service quarters, and on the Toof is a tennis court. Club- rooms and business office quarters are located in the basement. Before an applicant was granted space in the building it was required that he obtain approval of the board of directors which inquired into his moral, professional and financial standing, it is explained. Three months before the new building was completed, it is said, all space in the structure had been taken. Parking space is provided at the rear of the building for doctors and patients. TESTON BDT'i'LE SEIZURE BEFORE SUPREME COURT A prohibition test case, to determine the right of the Government to seize barrels, jars and other containers which might be used in the illegal mAnu(nc-‘ ture of intoxicating liquor, has reached ; the Supreme Court. i It was brought by Ike Danovitz, as the surviving partner of th& Feitler Bottle Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., to recover from the prohibition enforcement agents 57 truck loads of empty bottles, empty barrels, cartons, cork and other articles seized at Pittsburgh. The barrels had been purchased by the firm from a dis- tillery, where they had been used to hold | whisky. The seizure was made under a search warrant, issued under that section of the prohibition law which authorized prohibition agents to take “property designed for the illegal manu- facture of liquor.” The case was held to present an at- tempt by the Government to obtain a! court decision which would be a prec- edent authorizing it to seize the prop- erty of all t;;elrsans engaging in the sale rticles.

Fitzgerald| Addresses 5,000 at Cele- bration at Shrine. ‘The superiority of the moral code of Christ over all philosophic and social codes of morality, was affirmed last night by Rev. Father Edward G. Fitz- gerald in an address before a throng of 5,000 at the devotional celebration of the feast of Christ, in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Stressing the need of mankind for a spiritual mode of personal conduct, Father Fitzgerald, in citing the doc- trines of Christ as an infallible precept for a complete manner of life, declared: “All proposed moral systems other than that of the religion of Christ can only result in immorality and disorder.” Eugenics Doctrine Denounced. In reconciling the social law of man to the moral law of Christ, Rev. Father Fitzgerald bitterly denounced the doc- trine of eugenics, which, he said, in- humanly sacrifices the moral rights of individual to the scientific welfare of the race. He said, “There can be no excuse for the violation of faculties which God has given us for a definite purpose.” Completely discarding the evolutionary and mechanistic theory of modern science, which deprives man of all moral choice, Father Fitzgerald, in concluding his address, said: “We, as members of the Catholic Church, propose to be loyal to the revelation of Christ the King and to the Church, which is His mouthpiece.” Solemn benediction, pronounced by the Right Rev. P. C. Gavan, spiritual director of the Sacred Heart Church, and of the Washington Holy Name So- ciety, brought the ceremonies to a close. Celebration Is Universal. ‘The services, which were under auspices of the Holy Name Society, were a local phase of the universal celebra- tion of the Feast of Christ the King, established by Pope Pius XI in 1925. A secondary devotional purpose of the services was expressed in the form of thanksgiving for the consummation of the Lateran treaty and the recent amicable settlement of religious diffi- culties in Mexico. Organizations which attended the ceremonies were the Knights of Colum- bus, Anclent Order of Hibernians, Catholic Daughters of America, Knights of St. John, Catholic Knights of America and the Curley Club, Father Fitzgerald is prior of the Domican House of Studies.
