B-14 WONEN' LEGION " FLEETS OFIERS Mrs. Acheson F. Hassan Is Named President of Na- tional Organization. Mrs. Acheson F. Hassan was elected president of the National American ‘Women's Legion of the World War at the final session of the eleventh annual convention of the organization in the Red Cross Building yesterday afternoon. She succeeds Mrs. Edward Campbell Shields. Mrs. John Denby .Hird was elected first vice president. Other offi- cers elected were: Mrs. Frank S. Long, second vice presi- dent; Mrs, Orlando Troxel, third vice president; Mrs. Edwin S. Bettelheim, secretary, re-elected, and Mrs. Peter Hazges, treasurer. . ‘The organization adopted a resolution urging Red Cross nurses be given mili- tary status. A resolution to admjt as- | soclate members to the organization was defeated. Fred E. Marven, secretary of the American Coalition, in an address yes- | terday touched on the “Red” situation in this country, but doubted that the | radicals have sufficient strength to do much harm. The American Women's Legion, a national organization, has about G00 members, Aproximately 70 delegates were W attendance yesterday. Addresses by Maj. Gen. William G. Everson, chief of the Militia Bureau, United States Army, who made light of the “Red" scare, and Rear Admiral Frederick C. Billard, commandant of | the United States Coast Guard, fea- tured the opening session of the con- vention yesterday. Gen. Everson, in his address, urged the people “not to get panicky” over waving of red flags or the actions of 8 few anti-patriots, declaring, ineffect, that the vast majority of the millions of people in this country are as patriotic as ever, Praising the Women's Legion, Admiral Billard urged the patriotic persons of this country to stand behind the men in military service in times of peace as well as in time of war. Admiral Billard also developed the thought that self-control and respect for law and order and those in au- thority is much needed. The Pawnbroker's Sign. ‘The three golden balls which now in- dicate the pawnbroker's establishment have a very honorable origin. They were originally part of the crest of the wealthy Medici family who in remote times conducted a banking business in Italy. The three golden spheres were a very prominent and striking feature of the family coat of arms and were se- lected to take a place on the business gnpflr of the banking concern. This usiness spread all over Europe, and as the business of the company was largely of lending money the three balls were, in the course of time, adopted by other money lenders as the insignia of their business. Soon they were made use of by the pawnbrokers, whose exclusive property they now are. —_— e When you offer your right hand in greeting you are unconsciously following the lead of the medieval knight when held out his unarmed hand as an indi- cation that his sword was sheathed and he had no intention of using it. Wilkins May Go Under Arctic Ice In Old U. S. Sub Explorer and Simon Lake Confer With Navy Of- ficial on Purchase. By the Associated Press. Capt. Hubert Wilkins, explorer of the top and bottom of the world, may undertake his proposed trip beneath the Arctic ice in an obsolete United States submarine, converted into a “submersible boat.” ‘The bearded explorer, together with Simon Lake, submarine inventor and builder, called upon Assistant Secretary | Jahncke of the Navy late yesterday to | try to purchase such a boat. Whether | the Navy will sell has yet to be decided. | Reticent on Conference. Both Wilkins and Lake were loath to discuss their conference. The explorer acknowledged that the “possibility of using a submersible boat for geophysical work in the Arctic” had been discussed. He added, however, that, being a Brit- ish subject, he himself could not pos- sibly purchase such a craft from the Government. It was Assistant Secretary Jahncke who told the details of the visit. He sald the explorer and the inventor had been advised to enclose the details of their proposed purchase in a letter to be submitted to Secretary Adams. Jahncke added that undoubtedly the request would eventually be sent to the Department of State. A elause in the London naval treaty, which has yet to come before the Senate, makes specific mention of experimental submarines. he explained, and thus the proposed sale would involve an international angle, “Sometime Next Year.” Wilkins, whose explorations have car- ried him through the air, said he planned to make his subice voyage into the North “sometime next year,” prob- ably about a year from this month, It would be made, he reiterated, in & “submersible boat,” rather than a submarine in the generally acknowl- edged sense of the word. His explana- tion of the major differences between the two was that the submarine was almost entirely an instrument of war. In the craft he hopes to use, the ex- plorer said, scientific apparatus would replace all fighting equipment, and the boat would be made over generally for the specific end of cruising into the North, submerging under the ice when necessary and cutting its way up again. Talkie War Looms in Bombay. Enthusiasm over the talkies in Bom- bay, India, threatens to precipitate a talkie war. Following the success of oral pictures at the Bombay Theater, other houses installed sound films. This did not satisfy the fans, and three other theaters are being wired for talkies. As theaters in Bombay must charge $1.26 for admission to talkie performances it is feared that not enough peopie can afford that price -ndl‘ war between the theaters will Tesult. “The nl--r: l v-][ :S Over 23.000 diamo ght in the past 20 years qualifies m expert in selecting technically fine ston KER_AND APPRAISER i ALVIN HOFFA %57 SPECIAL: 18-K 1 1!
