Anton | Stephan, chairman of the general com- address broadcast from station WMAL He particularly emphasized its simi- larity to the yearly festivals held in Japan. The most pretentious one there, he declared, is in Kyoto, in the southern portion of the main Japanese island. For a whole month, from late March to late April, there are parades, theatrical performances, dances and other tributes to the trees. ‘Washington’s festival is to last three days. Incidents in it are to include motor boat races, a itta of rowing shells, exhibition fiying by planes of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, a glider demonstration and laying of smoke screens by the service planes. ‘There is also to be horsemanship dis- plays by army riders, military drills by cavalry and artillery units, a polo match and folk dances. All societies, clubs, schools and civic and business organizations were invited by the speaker to enter floats typifying their aims or ideals, or by protraying historical, educational or industrial events. Smaller organizations were urged to combine and enter a single float, representing the group. Maj. Stephan made it clear, however, that nothing of a commercial nature will be permitted in the ant.

LONDON, February 15.—A British government department has just be- come the legally constituted protector of a beautiful captive maiden lying en- | chanted in a crystal tomb. ‘The official notice of the transaction | does not put it quite that way, for it merely states that the ruins of Dun- stanborough Castle, which stand on an eminence close to the sea on the wild Northumberland coast, have been classified as an “historical monument” and, as such, now come under the con- trol of his majesty's office of works. But tradition is quite definite on the subject of the maiden. It has it that she is bound by 2 spell of the wizard Merlin and that her tomb is placed in a vast subterranean hall underneath the ruins. Boldness of Sir Guy, ‘The local worthies, too—and who should know better than they?—are perfectly acquainted with Sir Guy, the seeker, who once penetrated into the great vault and gazed on the rosy lips of the enchanted damsel. The sight, however—for some reason that hardly seems clear—impelled him to blow a loud blast on his horn; | whereat the vault was plunged in dark- | ness and a poisonous vapor rose from | the ground which plunged the good knight into a swoon—from which he awoke next morning to find himself, stiff with cold, in the castle porch. Entrance Disappears. year after year he never again su ceeded in reaching the crystal tomb. Now that the knight is dead,’ his spirit continues the search, and the old folk of Embleton nearby have often heard its dismal groans as it wanders through the ruins. Or so they say, but now that Du stanborough is “hisf ment” it may be that these old wives' tales will die for lack of official sanc- tion, or Sir Guy may disappear alto- gether in case he becomes liable to | Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Vir- ginia. income ta: The third annual session of the | Columbia. regional conference of credit bureau executives of the District of Columbia and seven States will open tomorrow in the Hotel Mayflower and will continue for two days.

The verdict was announced in the case of the Internatiomal Pocketbook Makers' Union versus the firms of Or- love & Schwartz and M. J. Fox & Co., | pocketbook manufacturing firms of this city, whose employes recently were en- Joined from picketing during a strike which terminated several weeks ago. Under an earlier decision by Judge Bond, the strikers were enjoined from picketing because it was held an un- lawful strike. The decision pointed_out that the strike followed efforts of New York labor leaders to organize workers in Baltimore for the benefit of New York manufacturers who were under contract to the union. In the verdict submitted by the court, it was held the union was a lawful or- ganization, regardless of the fact it originated out of the State. It was held that employes had a lawful right to reasonable picketing and otherwise pro~ testing, in a combined agency such as that offered by the union. It was des cided that picketers should not be en Joined from peaceful protest of employ= ers’ stands.
