Gibson, the Ambassador to Belgium; Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and | Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar- | kansas. i the assistance of Admiral William V. | Pratt, commander-in-chief of the United States fleet, and of Rear Ad- : miral Hilary P. Jones, retired, as tech- Inical advisers on the requirements of the American Navy. Morrow Appointment Surprise, President Hoover announced the com- pletion of his carefully approached task of selecting delegates late yesterday, disclosing the appointment of Adams, Morrow and Gibson. The selection of the four others had previously been made public, Morrow's appointment occasioned some surprise in official Washington. Speculation as to the personnel of the delegation had not included his name, but it was pointed out that his ability to handle delicate international negoti- ations had been demonstrated by his career at Mexico City, that he is a close student of world problems and that in all ways he was a logical choice for membership on the delegation. Secretary Adams is expected to head and co-ordinate the work of the com- mission’s advisory committee on tech- nical problems, a function filled by Theodore Roosevelt, jr., then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, at the Washing- ton Arms Conference of 1921. Gibson ‘Headed 1927 Group. Ambassador Gibson has been in close touch with naval developments for a number of years. He was at the head of the American delegation to the un- successful tri-partite conference at Geneva in 1927 and was the delegate of the United States to the session of | the League of Nations' preparatory commission on disarmament at Geneva last Spring. At that time he advanced for the first time the now famous Hoover “yard- stick” approach to the naval problem, which furnished a basis for the more recent _successful negotiations with Great Britain. While these were in ! progress Gibson was in intimate asso- ciation with the conversations and made numerous trips to London to consult with Ambassador Dawes. Admiral Pratt is the only member of the commission as thus far announced who participated in the Washington conference, holding then a place on the technical advisory committee. Admiral Jones was a member of the commission which represented the United States at the Geneva conference. Mr. Hoover's announcement of his appointment dis- posed of recent reports that he would not accept a place on the commission | to thesLondon parley. |SMALL HATS RUIN OSTRICH INDUSTRY | Demand for Feathers Declined as| War Started and Many Birds | ‘Were Slaughtered. Ostrich feather farmers are among the most pessimestic people in Africa. They have been in this undesirable frame of mind for nearly 20 years, writes the Johennesburg correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle; in fact, ever since the occurrence of the change in women's fashions that af- fected this important industry. Paris, New York and London dress and hat designers are responsible for this tragedy to one of South Africa's out- standing activities. In 1913, the last prosperous year for the ostrich feather farmers, more than three-quarter million birds were .in As soon as war started in 1914, the luxury merchants of the world closed their accounts and the slaughter of the now useless African birds commenced. Nowadays one often sees wagonloads of ostrich carcasses being transported over the rural high- ways surrounding Oudtshoorn, Cape Province, the former headquarters of the industry. PFrom 1880 till 1913 ostrich farming was_admittedly the most prosperous branch of agriculture in all Africa. A single pedigree bird was worth from $5,000 to $7,000, and the land on which the creatures thrived sold at $1,000 an acre. Almost every ostrich farmer lived in a mansion and in view of the fact that notjceable competition never arose in any other country the settlers showed the certainty of continued wealth. Strict government embargos prevented the export of live birds or eggs to states where competition was possible. Apart from that the Calif- fornian, Australian, Argentine and Al- gerian experimenters were handicapped by climatic disadvantages. Africa’s prosperous growers did not, however, reckon on one thing. While they continued to give out money on mortgages, to buy costly automobiles, and to send their sons to college, fashion veered around in favor of small hats for women. Nobody bought the picture models of 1912 any more and even for trimmings and fans the in- quiries were few. While the guns in France crashed, the homesteads in Oudtshoorn district, South Africa, became silent. - Nobody wanted frills and furbelows from 1914 to 1918. The breeding paddocks in which the birds had once been kept were now used for tobacco and other ordinary crops. The great American and French dealers who formerly main- tained branches in this country closed their offices and the huge Feather Market Hall at Port Elizabeth, the I'harbor through which all the procduce was once shipped, was devoted to every- day purposes. Since then the farmers have again tried to popularize the once- remunerative product. Marriage Licenses. d W. Beechner. 29, and Elsle M. Rev. T. A. 22, Plymouth, Pa.; ROTY. . 29.°and Alice R.

But the sports suits of her trousseau are made with short jackets and short pleated skirts. Simple jump- ers complete them, and the suits are | mostly in beige, white or cream. The | princess has collected some 20 berets to | wear with them. Divorces 25 Cents Now. MOSCOW.—You have to pay from 25 | cents to $2 for a divorce in Russia now, | though it used to be free.

Whitmore, formerly chancel- | lor of the University of Arizona, was on trial in Federal District Court today on charges of conspiracy to violate Fed- eral narcotic laws. Co-defendant with | him Is Tito Flores, proprietor of a Tuc- | son drug store. A Federal narcotic agent, the State's | first witness, testified that during an | eight-month period from June, 1928, to March, 1929, Dr. Whitmore issued ap- | oroximately 2400 narcotic prescriptions o 50 persons, which were filled by | Flores.

Following the lead of the Capital Traction Co. the Washington Railway & Electric Co. decided yesterday after- noon to appeal to the courts for the iong-sought higher fare denied last weck by the Public Utllities Commis- sion. The company's action was taken at| a meeting of the executive committee, at which the commission's voluminous formal order refusing to increase car fares was discussed. At its conclusion, William F. Ham, president of the com- pany, issued a prepared statment tak- ing direct issue with the declaration of the commission that the companies Washington's traction lines, with their expensive underground system, cannot | continue to give the class of service de- red by the public at the present rates of fare. Bowen to Prepare Appeal. | The appeal to the courts from the commission’s decision will be prepared | by S. R. Bowen, vice president and head | of fthe company’s legal staff. Mr. Bowen said today he had not yet de- cided what form the appeal would take, | nor would he®predict when it would | Dbe ready to be filed. It is likely, how- | ever, that it will take a week or 10| days . Thomas Dunlop, vice president and | counsel -for the Capital Traction Co., is now at work on the appeal of that company and indications are that it |M will be filed in the District Supreme | Court next week. Although Mr. Dun- | lop has not revealed the nature of the appeal he has indicated it will be ac- | companied by a request that the court issue a temporary order fixing fares at 10 cents cash, with four tokens for | 30 cents, pending final settlement of | the case, Ham's Statement. | The statement issued by President | Ham at the close of the meeting of the exceutive committee follows: “At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Washington Railway & | Electric Co., held today, the officers of | the company were directed to proceed | with an appeal to the court from the | recent order of the Public Utilities Commission denying the application of Capital Traction Co. for increased rates | of fare, to_which application this com- pany has been made & party by order of the commission. | “Although the commission In its order | concluded that the companies had not fully met the burden of proof and left | the way open for them to submit fur- ther evidence, our company confidently | rests its case on the evidence already to the community and to itself of the matters involved require that they should be presented promptly to the | court for review. | “We confidently believe that with an adjudication by the court of certain matters of ‘fact and of principle, con- cerning which there is now a difference | of opinion, there will come a realization | on the part of all concerned that the | street railways in Washington, with their expensive underground conduit system, cannot continue to render lhr‘i class of service desired by the public at the present rates of fare.” | PUBLICITY MAN Experienced. well known. capable, wants _connection with responsible organization. time Address Box 232 fiice We Guarantee —the quality of DUPONT TON- TINE — without hesitancy we say “WASH IT ONCE OR A HUNDRED TIMES” _|830 13th st.
