LNCOLN HONERE INHS HOME TOWN Gov. Pinchot Says Nation To- day Needs War President’s Honesty and Wisdom. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, February 12—If Abraham Lincoln were a candidate for President this year on his platform of human rights, said Gov. Gifford Pin- chot of Pennsylvania last night, he wouldn't “get to first base with the controlling powers of the Republican convention in Chicago. Addressing_the Mid-Day Club's ob- servance of the 123d anniversary of the Civil War President's birth, the Penn- sylvania Governor frequently mentioned Lnktk;e news as a presidential aspirant, asked: May Be Empty Tribute. “How many of our national leaders can declare with Lincoln, ‘I have never had a feeling, political or otherwise, that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Inde- pendence.’ Can Mellon? Can Hoover?” Today's celebration of Lincoln's birth was characterized by Gov. Pinchot as an “empty tribute, a useless gesture, if we lose sought of all he worked for and fought for and gave his life to.” Last night's observance in the mam- moth State Arsenal, touched off the an- nual memorial in this city that knew Lincoln best. Two miles across the city from the arsenal and nearby State Capitol, lay the rail-splitter's remodeled tomb, rededicated last Summer by President Hoover. Declaring this Nation needed now, as 4t has not needed since the Civil War the “honest strength of Lincoln, his homely wisdom and the sound and simple principles by which he lived,” Pinchot called upon “the men and women who honor Lincoln to use their strength, the strength the Constitution gives them, the strength that is in their votes once each four years. This Nation can never be free while its President is a servant of the concen- trated wealth.” Ambassador Pays Tribute. Tribute to Lincoln was paid by Am- bassador Casauranc of Mexico, who also spoke of such North and South American _heroes as Washington, Bolivar and Hidalgo. Describing Lincoln as a genius, the Ambassador said: “Perhaps the almost universal lack of social and political leaders of the strength and power of Lincoln is due to the fact that they do not live today as Lincoln did, close to all, seeking in the thought of the community the solu- tion of its problems, feeling himself, though conscious of superiority, only a fragment of mankind, only a piece of muscle and brain and heart of his people.” A 100 DRESSES STOLEN Connecticut Avenue Shop Stripped of All Gowns but One. A hundred dresses, valued at approx- imately $2,500, were stolen last night from the Mildred Lee Gown Shop, 1621 Connecticut avenue, it was reported to police today. Entrjnce was gained by forcing a side door. The thieves took every dress in shop, except one, a red crepe gown, but they ignored a quan- { women's hats. hop is owned by Mrs. Leonilla 726 New Hampshire avenue, and | Mrs. Mildred Malone, Kew Garden Apartments.

By the Associated Press. GRINNELL, Iowa, February 12— American productive scholarship was characterized yesterday by Dr. John Scholte Nollen as a “relatively thin and unfruitful growth.” Making his iraugural address as the fith president of Grinnell College, Dr. Nollen held that the American home and the American school were jointly responsible; the first because of its “softness and laxity of nurture” and the second because of “a lazy tempo of intellectual efforts” and early specialization. He looked to American liberal arts colleges for & solution, urging that these institutions stimulate “the growth of the idea that we should first get a broad, human, social education and then specialize.” Dr. Nollen, for 11 years a dean and professor at Grinnell, was elected president to succeed the late John Hanson Thomas Main. WAR-NAVY MERGER SUPPORT SOUGHT House Democratic Leaders Reported Assured of Early Report of Measure. By the Associated Press. House Democratic leaders have sent word down the line that they expect support for the legislation to merge the War and Navy Departments. The Expenditures Committee is about | to complete hearings, and reports are that the party leaders have lined up enough committee pledges to assure an early favorable report to the House. Opposition by the Army and Navy has been bitter. Both say the new set- up, with a secretary for national de- fense and three assistant secretaries army, navy and aviation, very likely would cost more than the present organizations. Chairman Byrns of the Appropria- |k tion Committee, however, insists the move would save $100,000,000 in the first year or shortly thereafter, and (@ would be very likely to increase effi- ciency. He also holds faulty the ar- gument that it would be difficult to find a man big enough to be secretary of national defense and replace two cabinet members. Tragedy Follows Wedding. It was a happy wedding party that started out in two sleighs to race across the frozen lake of Krance in Poland. ‘When half-way across the ice broke and the sleighs, carrying seven passen- gers, were flung into the icy water. Villagers rescued five persons, but the bride and bridegroom were drowned. Makes You Forget | You Have | FALSE TEETH No longer does any wearer of false teeth need to be annoyed or feel fll at ease.
