B—12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. THURSDAY, SEPTE) DR, J.F. JAMESON RITES SET TODAY Services to Be in All Souls’ Church—Burial to Be in 0ak Hill Cemetery. Funeral services for Dr. John Frank- lin Jameson, 78, chief of the division ot manuscripts, Library of Congress, were arranged at 2 p.m. today in All Souls' Memorial Episcopal Church, with Rev. H. H. D. Sterrett, rector, officiating. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery tomorrow morning. Headed by Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian, the list of honorary pall bearers includes others connected with the Library of Congress and the Carnegie Institution. Dr. Jameson, who died Tuesday at his home, 2231 Q street, was a dis- tinguished historian and writer, He had been chief of the division of manuscripts since 1928. For 23 years prior to that he was director of the department of historical research of Carnegie Institution. Founded Two Groups. One of the founders, in 1884, of the American Historical Association, which he afterward served as president, Dr. Jameson created its Historical Manu- scripts Commission, which, like its Pprototype the Royal Historical Manu- scripts Commission of Great Britain, gave a tremendous impetus to preser- vation and calendaring of the im- portant sources of American history. He also created the Advisory Com- mission on Documentary Historical Publications of the United States, which is now permanently established | as & part of the National Archives. When he came to Carnegie Institu- tion he drew up and directed the exe- cution of & program which has had the most far-reaching results. It included a series of documentary publications of fundamental importance, a long series of guides to materials for Ameri- can history in foreign archives and lioraries, an historical atlas of the| United States, and other important compendia. Dr. Jameson also organ- ized and for a quarter of a centurr conducted the campaign for the con-! struction of the National Archives | Building. Started Biographical Work. A delegate of the American Histori- cal Association in the American Coun- cil of Learned Societies, he proposed that that body should undertake an| enterprise that he long had in mind, the cimpilation of a dictionary of | American biography, comparable in scope and scientific standards to the | famous British Dictionary of National Biography. Backed by the council, he planned the proposed dictionary, inter- ested the late Adolph Ochs of the New York Times in it, and received the necessary financial support, and as chairman of the Committee of Man- agement, oversaw the dictionary to its successful completion in 20 volumes. ‘What is considered one of his great- est services to the cause of history in the United States was as editor of the American Historical Review, a position which, except for a short interval from 1901 to 1905, he held from 1895, when | the review was founded, until 1928. _— BREAD-AND-BEAN DIET SEEN KEY TO LONG LIFE Ctudy of Longevity of Peasants in Balkan District Impresses Doctor. BELGRADE (#).—Bread, beans and cheese may be the road to longevity. Pavel Biskup, a young Czech doctor who has spent two years studying the reasons for the long lives of peasants and shepherds of a Balkan district, came to the preliminary conclusion it, had to do with uniform diets that for generations seem to have been especially suited to the people. In most cgses bread and beans were the most important foods. Little meat was eaten, and then only in Winter. Cheese was found to be an impor- tant item, but little milk was con- sumed, and that mostly sour. Vege- | tables, especially peppers, tomatoes | and onions, are eaten raw. Fruits and fats are avoided. Eighty per cent of the cases studied used alcohol, but in moderation. SURVEY SHOWS WOMEN SMARTER THAN MEN Women are smarter than men, as they have always contended, but not by much. According to computations by Fred E. Nessell, registrar at George Wash- ington University, the scholastic av- erage of the co-eds is better than that of all the lads by .334 of a point. However, the stronger sex can take consolation in the fact that the highest average of a single fraternity is 071 of a point better than that of the highest sorority. As usual, the average of the non- fraternity students was higher than that of the fraternity and sorority members. — GO BACK TO ROBES INDIANAPOLIS (#).—Indiana’s Su- preme Court justices, after wearing business suits on the bench half a century, have put on black robes again for dignity’s sake. They quit wearing robes because they became too hot in an office building where they held court during building of the present State house. They donned them again in Septem- tember for the ceremony admitting more than 100 new lawyers to the bar. ADVERTISEMENT.
