PETROLEUM KNOWN INCOLOMBUS DAY 0ld Volumes Collected Europe Also Picture Kindergarten Class. in BY THOMAS R. HENRY. ‘There is little new in the world. Before Columbus discovered America folks in Europe were interested in oil wells and kindergartens—both supposed- Iy strictly modern. But the present generation which pats {tself on back for its progress has 101 tten a great deal, thinks Dr. Otto P. P. Vollbehr, wealthy Berlin business ‘man and book collector, who is in Wash- ington negotiating for the sale of his collection of books of the Middle Ages to_the American Government. Dr. Vollbehr has spent 30 years roam- ing over Europe to find the first prod- f the printing press, his interests primarily those of a book collector Tather than scholar. He has had little opportunity to read the old volumes—, some of them are so difficult that only specialists can read them. Has Picture of Kindergarten. The other day he opened an old French encyclopedia, printed four or five years before Columbus sailed, and found a picture of the world's first kin- dergarten in operation fully 400 years before the idea was revived in Germany. Nobody had realized before that there were schools for pre-school children based on the principal of directed free- dom back in the Middle Ages, The text is in ancient French. The woodcut, however, tells its own_ story. There is the rocking horse, a primitive “kiddy-car” and a device to teach the children to count. There is even the “flapper” kindergarten teacher. It evi- dently was visiting day with a couple of stern elders deeply interested in the new-fangled idea. In another of his incunabula, the Hortus Moguntiae, a Latin book on natural history printed at Mainz, Ger- ] olcum perre ;mn’m?“m Tlocie furfare it afi cum pinguedotene s s actione mmnd-am':::au-“]: :;Tr'dm'u:ad\.tfilmmlf. many, in 1491, Dr. Vollbehr found what he believes to be the first picture of an oll well ever made. Even then petro- leum was a product of considerable im- rtance in industry, although it was jong before the days of automobiles and ofl heaters. Starting from this picture, Dr. Vollbehr pointed out, leaders of the German oil industry have gone far into the ancient history of petroleum. Under the picture is the Latin text which has been translated: “Petroleum 48 ofl from rocks. It is found in rifts, since it arises when oily earth and quantities of heat, generated by the action of water, combine to flery stuff. It is found both on rocks, being con- tained therein and exuding from them, and on the sea.” Petroleum Used As Medicine. ‘The text which follows divides petro- Jeum into two classes, white and black. ‘The black is recommended for external application in cases of rheumatism and | for drinking with warm water to relieve | stomach-ache. It is referred to as, Babylonian pitch, indicating an Asiatic ‘The “Hortus Moguntiae” was written by a medieval physician, Cassius Felix, and existed in manuscript long before | it was printed. The author dealt ex- tensively with plants, animals, rocks and various human occupations, illus- trating many of them with quaint wood cuts. ‘The old French encyclopedia is a much more - elaborate work , which claimed to present all existing know- ledge, especially of the social sciences. ‘The first part s about equally divided between descriptions of the angels and the races of men. The author consid- ered angels as much objects of natural history as anything else. He then com- piled all the knowledge available on animals and plants. Such books, written in difficult lan- and long known only to collectors, . Vollbehr says, have been a locked treasure house not only to students of wrasiaaval culture but because of the empirical information they contain. They were written before the days of true science, but men had learned much from actual experience which was lost ;‘.m of and some of which now is be- vered. Many of Dr. Vollbehr's books are worth practically their weight in gold, and he keeps only a few at his apart- ment in a local hotel. One extremely beautiful prayer book he shows to ts, with the caution to hold their th as much as possible and not to speak when the pages are exposed for fear the pages will be injured by mols- ture from the breath. He also has some of his choicest manuseript vol- umes, all sacred in character and pro- duced in the mediaeval monasteries by the best artists of the day, usudlly em- ployed by wealthy persons who had grown pious in old age. Values Books at $3,000,000. ‘When he started his collecting Dr. Wollbehr made a map of Europe, desig- nating the places where presses were located in the fifteenth century. Then he tried to get a perfect copy of some ‘work from each of these printers. The search led him into obscure villages ‘which once were centers of learning. ‘The collector values the books and manuscripts, including a Gutenberg Bible, conservatively at $3,000000. A bill now is before Congress to pur- chase it for $1,500,000, Dr. Vollbehr making & gift to the American Gov- ernment of the other half. His chief interest, he said, is to get it into safe hands, where it will be of value to stu- dents. He regards his books as too important for world scholarship to re- main any longer a private responsi- bility, while, at the same time, even a nominal price is too much to be ob- tained in Germany at present. RETURN OF WEIHAIWEI | Officials at Nanking Sign Agree- ment on British Leasehold in Shantung Province. By the Associated Press. NANKING, China, April 19.—Official announcement was made today of agreement for return of Weihaiwel, a British leasehold in Shantung, to China. The agreement was signed last night by Sir Miles Lampson, British Minister, and C. T. Wang, Chinese foreign min- ister. Weihaiwei was leased to Great Brit- ain by a convention with the Chinese government dated July 1, 1898. The ter- ritory leased comprises, besides the fort and the bay, all the islands in the hay, the Island Liu Kung and a belt of 10 English miles wide along the entire eoast line of the bay. ‘The territory had about 285 square miles and contained in 1021 154,416 in- Babitants. The native cn{ is a walled town of about 2,000 inhabitants. Nego- tiations have been under way for some time for its recapture by the Nationalist government.

May 1 will be Child Health day in the District ¢f Columbia’s public schools in accordance with the Board of Edu- cation’s decision to abide by President Hoover's recent proclamation for the observance of “May day” in schools throughout the country. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, yesterday sent a circular throughout the school system outlining the various projects which will establish the first day of the coming month as one set aside for the best interests of children. In his circular letter to teachers and officers, Dr. Ballou urged that, wheneyer possible, the President's May day proclamation be read to the pupils. He further requested teachers and officers to emphas child health activities during the May day season. Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad and Miss Anita Turner, school system officers, have been appointed heads of committees to organize health activities in the edu- cational fields under their jurisdiction, the superintendent ounced.

President Hoover now has before him a brief, filed by the Federal Bar Asso- ciation, in support of the contention that Saturday half holidays throughout the year are required by existing law to be observed throughout the Federal departments and independent establish- ments in the District of Columbia. Pointing out that legislation now on the statute books makes “every Satur- dlr. after 12 o'clock noon,” a public holiday for all purposes within the Dis- trict of Columbia, and within the mean- ing of the statutes regulating the num- ber of hours of labor which it is the duty of heads of the departments to require of all clerks and other employes of their departments,” the brief cited the stand on the subject of previous Attorneys General. Justice McReynolds, when acting head of the Department of Justice, and formen Attorney General Mitchell Palmer were represented as supporting this position. The brief asserted, “So far as we can ascertain, no Attorney General has dis- sented from these views.” The courts, too, bear out their stand, the associa- tion contends. The brief cited banking laws of va- rious States to back up its contention that the granting of a Saturday half Loliday is mandatory upon the execu- tive branches of the Government. ‘The brief has been submitted to the Chief ecutive by Willlam R. Val- lance, istant solicitor of the State Department and president of the Fed- eral Bar Association; Ralph G. Cornell, attorney in the General Accounting Of- fice .and the assoclation’s secretary: George A. Warren, Interior Department attorney and second vice president of the association, and Edward A.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, April 19.—A South- erner came to the aid of another Southerner in New York today, and tonight the outlook perhaps was not so gray for James Matthew Maxon, jr., Tennessee bishop's son, charged with having beaten to death a fellow lodger during a drunken brawl in a rooming house early Friday. When the 21-year-old man was ar- raigned today on an affidavit charg- ing homicide, at his shoulder stood Martin W. Littleton, himself a Ten- nesseean, former president of the Southern Society, and one of New York's leading lawyers. Reassuring and urbane, Mr. Little- ton took charge of his young client’s affairs. They made no plea today. The hearing was adjourned until next Wednesday. Meanwhile Maxon i held without bail. Maxon's story, as Littleton told it, is that when he went down to the landlady’s apartment to investigate a gas leak in his room, other lodgers thought he was a burglar, and in their effort to capture him started a gen- eral fight, in which David Paynter, 73, was accidentally killed—by whom, he does not know. Littleton said Maxon told him he had been drinking. But he said the others had been, too; that .a drinking bout had been in progress all evening in_the landlady’s room. The story of the other lodgers is that Maxon, tearing about the house in a drunken frenzy, broke into the landlady’s room, frightened her and killed Paynter when he came to her| assistance.
