How ice plays a triple role “To make a glass of drinking water really eold,” a psychologist confided to us, “you need two things, ice— and physchology Why not just ice we asked. “That's simple,” he re- plied. “You can chill water by simply running it through refrigera- ted coils. But the psychology comes in knowing—and you'll observe that smart restaurants and gifted host- esses have learned it—that to have srarklmg chipped ice tinkling and clinking about in the glass is what really does the trick. Why? Be- cause the chilled water speaks; in a lack-lustre way, to the palate alone, whereas the ‘water with cracked ice m it has a cheery message of cool- ness for three of our senses—our sight and our hearing as well as our taste.

C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1931 ADAMS GETS NAVY | CURTAILMENT PLAN Admiral Pratt’s Proposal to Meet Hoover Demand Leaves Basic Policy. A plan involving curtailed naval operation has been laid before Secre- tary Adams by Admiral Willlam V. Pratt, chief of naval operations, as a possible method of meeting President Hoover’s demands for 1933 Navy budget cuts, Basic naval policy would remain un- affected under the plan. Officers ac- quainted with it refused to discuss de- talls, but indicated it would be sub- mitted to Congress. Immediately upon his return from a trip to the West Coast, the admiral turned his attention to President Hoo- ver's request to Secretary Adams that the naval budget estimates for 1933 be cut sharply from their original figure of $401,000,000. $340,000,000 as Goal. ‘The figure of $340,000,000 has been mentioned as the goal to which the President would like to see the Navy cut its estimates. ! The number of destroyers to be built under congressional authorization al- ready has been reduced from 11 to 5. ‘Among the suggestions which have been made to the Secretary was one! that the inactive Charleston, W. Va.!| ordnance plant be turned over to the city, with the condition that it be avail- | able for the Navy in an emergency. Another suggestion was for the clos- ing of the Alexandria, Va., torpedo base. Savings from these two sugges- tions are roughly estimated at $350,000 annually. Doubt was expressed, how- ever, that the suggestions would be car- ried out. Asked to Reconsider Estimates. Like his colleagues of the cabinet, the Naval Secretary has been asked by President Hoover to reconsider budgetary estimates submitted for the year. On highest authority it has been made known that the Chief Executive wishes the Navy to cut its $401,000,000 estimates. He does not desire that the decreases be made, however, at the ex- pense of the current construction pro- gram, which might be slightly in- creased. Meanwhile, the Secretary announced yesterday an immediate slash in ex- penditures. The projected 11 destroyer program, authorized by Congress, was cut to 5 ships after approval for the others was withheld by the White House. Other Bureau Cuts. Since President Hoover hopes to slash the 1933 naval expenditures to $340,- 000,000, as compared with 1932 appro- priations, while increasing the con- struction fund from $50,000,000 to $65,- 000,000, any curtailment must come from other bureaus. General expenditures ll’: expected to bear the. $35,000,000 cut. Secretary Adams himself has indi- cated he does not know yet himself where the blue pencil will be applied, other than through reduced living' costs. Officers today s2t what they| described as a liberal est:mate of $10,- 000,000 curtailment on this item. Once before when the Navy was asked | to make sha reductions in its ex- penditures, it turned first to the naval establishments. Former Secretary Wilbur made the survey at the behest of President Cool- idge, and it proceeded to the point of recommendations for the abandonment or curtailment of the Great Lakes Na- val Station, the Philadelphia Navy Yard and decreased at some other mm. ‘The plan aroused a storm of 1 protest in affected points and was shelved. Possible Personnel Reduction. Another possible source of savings was said by officers to be a reduction in Marine or naval officer and enlisted | Am, personnel. It lm:ed certain today that Secre- tary Ac would not submit any plan to the President for further new ship construction d that under con- tract and the four additional destroy- ers. This in itself, officers said, could permit curtailment of personnel re- quirements. GEN. BUTLER GIVES HIS LAST COMMAND “You May Haul Down My Flag, §ir,” He Orders at Quantico Upon Retirement. By the Assoclated Press. QUANTICO, Va. September 30.— Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler gave his last command to the Marine Corps to- day and was placed on the retired, list. “You may haul down my flag, sir,” the general's last command, was given to Lieut. L. C. Whitaker, his aide. ‘The general's retirement orders, ap- proved by President Hoover September 1, two weeks after the general re- uested retirement, were read at a full lormation in front of Marine head- quarters, Butler received his major general’s flag with its red fleld and two white stars as a memento of his last com- of age was marked “Smedley D. Butler, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania,” for which place he left this merning by automobile. Although he retains the honorary title of major general in retirement, it has not been placed on his new stationery. The last honor accorded the general was a salute of 13 guns.

S. Racketeers Buy Birth Records of Dead, After Duping Clergy, and Send Girls Abroad to Wed Foreigners Seeking to Become Americans. I BY THOMAS R. HENRY. ‘The nuptials of the dead, the trick of the vanishing bride, the resurrec- tion stunt and the difficult accom- plishment of being born in two places at the same time are among the con- trivances in the magic kit of the im- migration specialist for getting unde- sirable aliens illegally but safely into the United States, according to As- sistant Secretary of Labor Garsson. After all; the safest way to get into this country and stay here is to be born here. " If the spectalist can pro- vide evidence that his client first saw the light of day on these shores all his difficulties are over—for America al- ways welcomes with open arms her own, however far they may have wan- dered. Only in comparatively recent years has there been much attention paid to birth certificates. In the days when the country was open to every- body there was little need for them, and even when returns were required | by law physiclans were notably lax.| Names were misspelled, dates were omitted and even sex was not speci- fled. The confusion of the old days left a fleld of fruitful harvest for the alien smuggler. Substitutes Accepted. Many Americans—probably the ma-| Jority of those more than 30 years old—are unable to find their births recorded in the public records. The | Government recognizes this. It will| accept varlous substitutes. A common substitute is an entry in a parich record of those churches which prac- tice infant baptism. For that matter, mostchurches keep some record of the births in their parishes—however far they may fall sgon. of unofficial records. This situation, Mr. Garsson finds, has led to an unholy alliance between the immigration racketeers and various clergymen, parish clerks and village and county officials. Some of the lat- ter may have been innocent victims. Others, he is convinced, are deliberate accomplices, well paid for their work. “I cannot say,” Mr. Garsson said, “that we intend to prosecute any of these clergymen, or for that matter any of the supposedly ethical lawyers who are mixed up in this business. But it makes one sad to find into what {“fl; quarters the trail of the racketeers eads.” Hunts for Birth Records. The racketeer, Garsson says, is hired to get a specified alien into this coun- try. He hunts around for the birth rec- ord of somebody of similar name and of approximately the same age born in the United States. It is not necessary that either name or age be absolutely the same, since the Government must make allowance for the notorious carelessness of parish clerks and village clerks. Be- sides, it is necessary to take a man's word for his exact age. Some men of 40 don’t look a day over 30. Once the proper double has been found the birth certificate or record is purchased from the clergyman or local official who has it in_ charge. Often, Garsson ays, $150 to $200 is paid for | an attested copy of such a record. The racketeer can afford it because his own | fee is at least $1,000. Then the copy is | sent to the prospective immigrant with | proper instructions. He presents it to the American consul and demands a passport. If the papers are in good order he cannot be refused. He is an Ameri- can citizen by virtue of birth. He at- tests that he was born in the United States, ‘was taken back to the old coun- try by his parents or came on a visit and now wishes to return. The “vanishing bride” trick and the nuptials of the dead are closely allied. The name of some dead American woman, preferably of the same race as the prospective immigrant, is secured from her tombstone in some obscure cemetery. Then another woman, a hireling of the racketeer. obtains a pass- port in the dead woman's name and goes abroad. She marries the client in the old country and he is admitted on a non-quota basis as the husband of an erican citizen. But once in the United States he need not bother with an unwanted wife. His wife is dead. Perhaps, if he is an unusually senti- mental man, he may-put flowers on her neglected grave. But there she sleeps, ;n(}r he is safe in the country of his esire. Marriage to Stranger Revealed. About six years ago a female alien was smyggled into the United States being found out was ever with her. So she entered Into a contract with a lawyer, now under arrest, to accomplish | a legalization of her stay in the country by marrying & man she never had seen until she met him at the license bu- reau. With four letters of introduction from a prominent Washington attorney who never had seen bride or bridegroom, the couple proceeded to Canada for a | honeymoon. | consul produced a perfectly good ncn- quota immigration visa by which the bride whs able legally to return to the United States as the wife of an Ameri- jcan citizen. The hired bridegroom got | 845 and an automobile for the job—but | the racketeers forced him to use the car |to smuggle in two other allens. But, | Secrelary Doak has learned, the un- ’Iortun-be fellow has since fallen des- perately in love with another girl but can’t marry her until he obtains a re- lease from his previous marriage for hire. He is seeking an annulment. It is such mix-ups that make the dead woman, or man, preferable in such affairs. It apparently is not difficult to secure girls willing to go to Europe and con- tract such marriages, Mr. Garsson says. Some are regular hirelings of e racketeers. Some are girls willing to 80 to any lengths for a Summer va- cation in Europe. It makes no differ- ence to such a girl whom she marries, for she never will see him again. The simplest way to get into the United States is by shipping as a sailor and deserting at some American port. Ship captains, Garrson says, often are willing to accommodate and carry very large crews with the understanding that they never will see some of them again once they touch the United States. The disadvantage is that the deserter has no documentary evidence of his right to be here and may be picked up at any time. A more comfortable method of evad- ing the law is to enter the United States on a visitor's permit, stay the allotted time, and then duly leave on some small ship which will touch at some other American port before start- ing across the Atlantic. At the first stop the visitor simply goes ashore and stays. The record shows he is on his way back to the old country. A trick frequently worked by certain nationalities of southeastern Europe, Garsson says, is that of the big family. A couple come to the United States and are duly naturalized. Then, as Amer- ican citizens, they returr: to the home- land and come sailing back in a few months with two or three children. These are held up, but the couple pro- test that these are their own children, born in the United States and sent back to the old country for grandma to rear until the parents could get themselves established in the new country. Now they want their children with them. The couple cannot display any birth to prove their case. No attendance when these UNITED X STATES . lf the thought of moving moves you to tears, don’t despair!

The mother was attended onli by a midwife. It is the custom of t] people. Are they to blame because this woman was so ignorant of the law that she made no return? 'Are they to Icse their beloved little ones because of the midwife’s carelessness? There is no denying that the story might be true. Many children still ac- tually are being born in the United States under just such conditions. Im- migration officers are inclined to waive the strict letter of the law and admit the children rather than bre: the hearts of this poor but honest ccuple. Unfortunately, says Mr. Garsson, there are some enormcus families brought into the United States in this way. One Syrian couple have brought 20 children into the world in the United Stats, neg- lected in every case to have the birth recorded, sent them all back to the old country, and tben brought them back again. It looks as if they were bringing in a whole village of children whose parents are anxious that they shall en- Joy the opportunities of the new world. FILMING TO BEGIN FOR BICENTENNIAL Talkie to Be More Elaborate Than at First Planned, Com- mittee Reports. ‘The actual task of filming the Bi- centennial Talking Picture, to be pro- duced by Warner Bros., will begin within the next few weeks, the Bi- centennial Committee of the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce an- nounced yesterday following a meeting in the Homer Building. The committee heard a report from A. Julien Brylawski, who recently re- turned from New York, where he con- ferred with officials of the motion pic- ture producing company concerning the film. He said plans under way call for an even larger film than was orig- inally contemplated. The meeting of the committee yes- terday was addressed by Arnold Kruck- man, director of the District of Co- lumbia George Washington Bicenten- nial Commission. Mr, Kruckman spoke of the plans of his committee for the National Capital’s observance of the 1932 celebration. The committee voted, at the suggestion of Mr. Kruck- man, to aid in advertising in Wash- ington and elsewhere the events sched- uled to take place here. Proper observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the ‘Washington Chamber of Commerce will be undertaken during the Bicentennial year also, it was agreed at the meeting.

STOKES This Model LINDBERGH PLANE LANDS AT HANKOW Yangtze Flood Survey From Nanking Included Stop® at Wuhu. By the Associated Press. HANKOW, China, September 30 —Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh and Dr, Borcic, health expert of the League of Nations, arrived here at 3:10 p.m. (2:10 a.m. Eastern standard time) to- day, completing a flight from Wuhu, down the Yangtze River from Nanking. Leaving Nanking yesterday on another volunteer flood survey-flight, the Lind- berghs and Dr. Boreic landed at Wuhu, where they spent the night. The fail- ure of Nanking authorities to receive cirect word of their landing there caused come anxiety this morning, but this was dispelled when & Chinese mili- tary plane sighted the Lindbergh craft | on the water at Wuhu. The party left the latter city at 11:30 a. m. (10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Eastern standard time) and arrived here after 3 hours and 40 minutes of flying. The plane descended on the Yangtze Rivar near the British aircraft carrier Hermes, opposite the British bund. Work to Continue. In flying from Nanking to Hankow the Lindberghs and Dr. Borcic actually troveled only 375 miles as the crow files, but since they were surveying the damage wrought by the Yangtze River they probably flew much fartther than that in following its winding cursso. The Lindberghs will devote their stay in the Hankow region tc mapping and survey work in the flooded area similar to that which they did in Northern Kiangsu Province. Dr. Borele, an expert on epidemics, will assist in the curbing of diseases which became widespread after the flood. His help is badly needed here owing to the presence of cholera among the refugees. It was definitely decided that the Lindbergh plane, which is a civilian craft, would not come within the scope of objections of local militarists against the use of foreign military planes in the survey. British Surveys Prevented. ‘The ufument of militarists prevented British planes from the aircraft carrier Hermes from making aerial surveys over Chinese territory after the Flood Relief Commission had arranged such flights.
