WONAN CLSTONS " COLLECTORS HER Four. Only Members of Sex T to Hold Such Positions, Attend Conference. BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. Four women, the firt and only mem- bers of their sex to hold the positions of collectors of customs, are attending the collectors of customs’ conference, which held its opening sessions at the | Willard Hotel yesterday morning. This is the first conference held by the col- lectors of customs in 14 years and the first ever attended by women, as it was not until the first term of President Coolidge, in 1922, that a woman was appointed collector of customs. The first woman appointed by Presi- dent Coolidge was Mrs. Jennie Patton Musser, who at present is collectcr of customs of district 48, which embraces | the customs territories of Utah and Ne- | vada, with headquarters at Salt Lake | City. Previous to her entrance into the | customs service Mrs. Musser had | worked for four years in the Hawailan Islands, where she taught school and assisted in public health work. She is a native of Salt Lake City. Has Four Subposts in District. Mrs. Eddie McCall Priest is collector of customs of the Tennessee and Ar- | kansas districts, with headquarters at Memphis. Mrs. Priest was appointed in 1925 and has four subposts in her dis- trict, which it is her duty to visit for inspection purposes. Although Mrs. possesses no seaport, it was pointed out that an equal number of imports enter the inland territories with those re- ceived in the seaports of the country. One of the most interesting articles entering Mrs. Priest's territory recently was a brace of pistols {.;' one nmvB:up‘ dly the property of Napoleon Bona- p"::e Thp"ps;""m were admitted duty free, having been established as an- tiques. qAnmher inland customs district, of which a woman, Mrs. Nellie Gregg Tom- linson, is the collector, is the State of Jowa, with headquarters at Des Moines. Mrs. Tomlinson has four daughters and her husband is an attorney at law practicing in Des Moines. One of the most interesting imports to come under Mrs. Tomlinson's juris- diction recently were 26 bells, part of a carillon installed in a campanile on the Iowa State University campus. These bells, which were imported from England, brought several thousand dol- lars as duty to the Government. Smuggling Provides Problem. Few attending the conference have come from a greater distance than Mrs, Jeannette Hyde, who was appointed in 1925 to be collector of customs of the port of Honolulu and the Hawafian Islands, a district whose customs serv- ice comprises over 100 officials. Mrs. Hyde has three sons and two daughters, whom she will visit in this country be- fore returning to Honolulu. “The greatest problem which con- fronts the port of Honolulu,” said Mrs. Hyde, “is the smuggling of opium and narcotics from the Orient. A few months ago customs officials of Hono- lulu seized a ton of opium in drygoods boxes from Hongkong.” ‘The four women customs collectors agreed during a brief interview that Americans traveling abroad would save themselves a lot of trouble if they would Priest’s district also| — SECRET OF MAKING GIANT BRICK TR EVENING DIRECT CUSTOMS FORCES IN 4 AREAS STAR, WASHINGZON, EAST WASHINGTON PROJECT PICTURED Beautification of Section Held Certain by Speaker to Association. Beautification and development of ‘East Washington from the Capitol to the Anacostia River and beyond was pictured as a certainty before many years at a meeting of the Lincoln Park Citizens’ Association in the Bryan School last night. This and approval by several speakers of the survey of the public school buildings of Washington recently conducted by The Star were the feattres of a largely attended meet- ing, which considered many questions | of ‘lnkrest to the residents of Capitol Hill. Harold E.

BY STEEL-LIKE PROCESS IS BARED Huge Blocks That Can Be Made of Inferior Clays May Be Reinforced With Metal While White Hot, Scientist Says. By the Associated Press. TORONTO, Ontario, February 18— The secret of making 20-foot bricks and molded sides of small houses was laid before the American Ceramic So- ciety here today. It is a new process, in which bricks are made much like steel, of molten raw material. While the clay is white- hot, at about 2,000 degrees Farenheit, it is shaped and pressed, and it is claimed that bricks thus can be made enor- mously larger than anything hitherto practicable. Always heretofore bricks have been shaped before baking, and the old process limits size. Prof. Joseph B. Shaw, head of the department of ceramics of Pennsylvania State College, inventor of the method, sajd that the new bricks can be rolled like steel. They can be made rein- forced . with steel laid in the molten clay. The process dips into another of the practical building arts by making brick weneer. One brick can be,im- pressed upon another to form a single sfructure. ‘They are annealed like metal. So for as he has been able to dis- ‘cover, Shaw said, clay products never study the American tariff laws before leaving the country, at the same time tering in the port of their de- parture all clothing. jewels or other dutiable articles, which might be as- as from abroad the traveler's ited States. ARCHITECTS INSPECT NEW U. S. BUILDING ‘Those Who Help Prepare Drawings Make Pilgrimage to Agricul- ture Structure. ‘Twenty-four members of the office force of the supervising architect who had assisted in the preparation of the working drawings for the new central | portion of the Department of Agricul- ture Buiiding, yesterday made a pil- grimage to this nearly completed struc- ture to view the results of their work. ‘The manager of the Hyman Construc- tion Co., contractors for the bullding, showed the visitors about. The spacious closed court, larger than that of the Pan-American Building: the famous elliptical stair, the sumptuous Secre- tary’s suite, finished in American wal- nuf, and the preparation for special lighting efTect filled the architects with enthusiasm. After the visit the party followed architectural traditions by repairing for dinner to a restaurant, soon to give way to the Pennsylvania avenue archi- tectural development, and after dinner to see the film “Wide Open.” taken from @ novel written by an architect.

ATTACK ON FEDERAL DRY AGENTS PROBED Fifty Men Declared to Have Beaten Pair During Liquor Seizure. By the Associated Press SCRANTON, Pa., February 18 —Fed- eral authorities today were investigating an attack by 50 men on two prohibition agents engaged in confiscating intoxi- cants at Throop, near here.

He told of plans for a stadium east of the Eastern High Schocl large enough to hold the Olympic garies, and the erec- tion of a monument near the Anacostia respond with the Washington Monu- ment west of the Capitol. day provide for a great boulevard from {the Potomac River near the Lincoln Memorial, past the Capitol to the Ana- costia River.

Clayton, representing the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, today filed with the Public Utilities Commission a petition that street car tokens be sold on all cars at the rate of three for 20 cents. This would not Clayton contended, would make them more readily avatlable to those who have only 20 instead of 40 cents in their pockets. Some time ago, before the present commissioners took office, the companies were ordered to sell the tokens at that rate, but the order specified only that they should be sold at the car barns and at the offices of the company. This order, Mr. Clayton contended, had been abortive. ~ He said that the only way of making use effectively of the three for 20 cents rate was to order tickets sold at that rate everywhere where they | are sold at the six for 40 cents rate. | VAUGHN VCLASS TO DINE. | Members to Observe Washington's Birthday With Program. ‘The thirty-ninth annual dinner of the aughn class of Calvary Baptist Sunday school will be held Friday night in the school house.

CHICAGO, February 18.—Patent méd- icines are being backed off the stage by patent foods, advertised to make the human race thin, fat, beautiful or full | of “it,” Dr. W. McKim Marriott of St. Louls, noted dietitian, declared before the 300 medical men assembled yester- day in the annual congress of the Medi- cal Education Council of the Americdan Medical Association. Dr. Marriott, who spoke on “The Uses of Proprietary and Medicinal | Foods in the Hospital,” is professor of pediatrics and dean of the School of Medicine in Washington University in addition to being physician-in-chief of the St. Louls Children’s Hospital. Careful scientific investigation today s serving to define the function of va- rious food constituents, he said. “But as in all scientific endeavor there ex- |1sts a border fringe of pseudo-science, | the food fakir follows closely behind | the nutritional investigator,” he said. “Newspapers, magazines, medical jour- nals are filled with food advertisements, |some of which rival the patent medi- | cine in its heyday of glory. All this | | handicaps the legitimate food manufac- turers, who are supplying clean, pure, | tasty foods in convenient forms for use and are marketing them for what they are worth.” Dr. Marriott called attention to the commission of foods, which the Amer- ican Medical Assoclation has establish- ed to investigate the constituents of proprietary foods offered to the medical profession. Results of these investiga- tions will be published, he said. DR. GRAHAM TO SPEAK ON “YOUTH AND RIGHTS” Dean of Graduate School of Ober- lin College Appears Under Auspices of Y. M. C. A.
