THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, i). DECEMBER 7. 1924 PART I. BV NATION SCORED Dr. Butler Says Change in Constitution Might Stop Real Progress. Bj- the Associated Press. ! PHILADELPHIA. IV . ember G —No American mother would favor the adoption of a constitutional amend- H mens which would empower Congress to invade the rights of parents and to shape family life to its liking. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, declared in a letter on the proposed child labor amendment read today before a mass meeting held here in connection with the second annual convention of the Sentinels of the Republic. The proposed Federal amendment ! now before the Slate legi latures. Dr. Butler asserted, might delay the day whin child latter, "which is now rapidly disappearing,” will have totally disappeared. Protest Amendment. Tlio mass meeting was called to protest against ratification of the amendment by the various legisla- ture Louis A. Coolidge of Boston, chairman of tht* Sentinels of Die Re- public. to whom Dr. Butler’s letter ¦was addressed, presided. The letter staled that those who | would keep intact the principles of 1 American life "are charged with an unwillingness to tear down the Con- . stitution. "A beginning was made when the eighteenth amendment wat* proposed and ratified," Dr. Butler wrote. "This amendment is objectionable and re- pugnant to Ameri.HU principles be- cause it violently inserts positive legislation into a document whose sole purpose it is to establish a framework of Government, to set out the limitations of that Government and to describe the functions of its several parts." h oiilrt Transfer Power, The proposed child labor amend- ment. Dr. Butler continued, "would relieve the 10. al and Slate govern- ments of their direct responsibility and transfer that responsibility to a 1 distant, costly and certainly inoom- competent bureaucracy operating from the National Capital." The letter called attention to the "lessons of the recent national elec- tion, which X>r. Butler maintained, showed that the 25.000.000 voters, ¦while differing as to policies, “are op- posed to experiment upon the founda- tion of our social and political sys- ! torn." I —— ASKS PROBE TO SHOW U.S. NAVY STRENGTH. House Member Would Investigate j Standing in 5-5-3 Treaty. Another proposal for an investigation of the Navy to determine whether the 5-5-3 ratio is being maintained was offered yesterday by Representative Boylan, Democrat, New York. A joint investigating committee of Congress would be created, and the strength of the first line and auxiliary raft of other signatories of the Wash- ington treaty would also be investigated. i YOUTH WINS $4,030.

This question lias been Im-ught to the I attention of the members of the organi- . zation in a statement just issued by I President Guy Clinton, who with tin- other newly elected officers is to be in- j stalled at this meeting. t litifon’s Statement. President Clinton, in his statement, says : | "At the last meeting a resolution was adopted instructing the incoming ad- ministration to appoint a committee on revision of constitution. I shall be ready to announce this commit!•* as ! soon as I have been installed. However, in view of the interest shown in quali- fications for membership, I think it highly desirable that the association should give this committee definite in- structions at the next meeting on this print. A number of the most active members from the Maryland side have agreed to refrain from voting on (his question, and I take this opportunity <*f requesting all members from the Mary- land side to refrain from voting on this one issue in order that the decision may be made entirely by members resident in the District of Columbia. "I am taking this step because I am convinced that the work of the associa- tion is of more vital interest to District residents than to Maryland residents. This is due primarily to the difference in rights of suffrage. The Maryland residents have other methods of ex- pressing preferences on matters of ((im- munity interest. Residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia are dependent almost wholly on this association. In the past there has been a helpful spirit of co- operation between the two sides, and this has no doubt made the association stronger in achievement. However, if it api>ears that the interests of the two sides have now become hopelessly divergent, the voice of the association should he the unhampered expression of the District residents. Two Beside in Mary land. “Only two of the newly elected ofiicers of the association arc residents of Maryland, and I am authorized to speak for both in saying that we are ready to give way to successors from the District of Columbia if the members on that side make known that it is their preference to control the affairs of the association. It is hoped that every member resident in the District of Columbia will be pres- ent at this meeting." The two officers referred to in the statement are President Guy Clinton and Chester C. Waters, first vice presi- dent, both of whom were elected at the November meeting of the association. The other officers elected at that time are all residents of the District. OLD HOTEL CLOSES.

Hines of the Pnited States Veterans’ Bureau. ¦ A general order has been issued by 1 Gen. Hines, in which employes are ¦ told in “border-line cases to give a ¦ little more, rather than a little less; - doubtful cases should be decided in t the claimant’s favor when sin-h ac- tion is not in contravention of law.” In explaining the new order, an of- I tidal statement from th( bureau says: i “if a claim is incomplete and the ' file contains the names of third par- ¦ j ties who may be able to substantiate ¦ j the claimant's contentions, employes i are directed to take th<- initiative in securing such testimony by com a municating directly with such third parties, in which case the claimant must be advised why action in his case is being withheld. “Director Hines in this order makes it very plain that the claimant is at ' ail times entitled t<> know exactly what action is being taken, and in some circumstances even what action is being - contemplated in connection with claim as evidenced by in- structions prescribing procedure by the claims and rating boards, which are to the effect that when a claim- ant is being examined the medical 1 examiner will advise such claimant what degree of disability is being recommended to the board, explaining that the degree given in the final rating is necessarily contingent upon the establishment of service connec- tion for each disability claimed.

Hy the AsMH-hited I’ih-k, BALTIMORE Md„ December k.— The Esch-Cuuimins railroad law has brought to the railroads a greater degree of success than they have en- joyed in a dozen years, John J. Corn- well, general counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, said to- night in an address before the South- eastern group of the investment bankers of America. Any change in the law. or further railroad legislation, he asserted, is liable to pul a blight on the present prosperity. Secs Mandate of People, The recent election, Mr. Cornwell, declared, was in part a mandate of the people to retain the Ksch-Cum- mins act. "Certainly the result of the last election," he said, “would indicate that an overwhelming majority of the American people registered their op- position not only to Senator La Fol- lette’s proposal of ultimate govern- ment ownership, hut likewise to his demand for immediate repeal of the transportation act. The verdict was against any more railroad legisla- lion at present "I’rider the Esch-Cummins a-t. the roads have been doing an unprece- dented volume of business in an un- precedented way.

Constitution Might Stop

Real Progress.

Bj- the Associated Press.! PHILADELPHIA. IV . ember G —No

American mother would favor theadoption of a constitutional amend-

H mens which would empower Congressto invade the rights of parents andto shape family life to its liking. Dr.Nicholas Murray Butler, president ofColumbia University, declared in aletter on the proposed child laboramendment read today before a massmeeting held here in connection withthe second annual convention of theSentinels of the Republic.

The proposed Federal amendment !now before the Slate legi latures. Dr.Butler asserted, might delay the daywhin child latter, "which is nowrapidly disappearing,” will havetotally disappeared.

Protest Amendment.

Tlio mass meeting was called toprotest against ratification of theamendment by the various legisla-ture Louis A. Coolidge of Boston,chairman of tht* Sentinels of Die Re-public. to whom Dr. Butler’s letter¦was addressed, presided.

The letter staled that those who |would keep intact the principles of 1American life "are charged with anunwillingness to tear down the Con-

. stitution."A beginning was made when the

eighteenth amendment wat* proposedand ratified," Dr. Butler wrote. "Thisamendment is objectionable and re-pugnant to Ameri.HU principles be-cause it violently inserts positivelegislation into a document whosesole purpose it is to establish aframework of Government, to set outthe limitations of that Governmentand to describe the functions of itsseveral parts."

hoiilrt Transfer Power,

The proposed child labor amend-ment. Dr. Butler continued, "wouldrelieve the 10. al and Slate govern-ments of their direct responsibilityand transfer that responsibility to a

1 distant, costly and certainly inoom-competent bureaucracy operatingfrom the National Capital."

The letter called attention to the"lessons of the recent national elec-tion, which X>r. Butler maintained,showed that the 25.000.000 voters,¦while differing as to policies, “are op-posed to experiment upon the founda-tion of our social and political sys- !torn."

tided at the next meeting **f' the asso-ciation. lo be licit.) tomorrow night at8 o'clock. in the Takoma I'ublie liibtary,Fifth and Cedar streets.

This question lias been Im-ught to the

I attention of the members of the organi-. zation in a statement just issued by

I President Guy Clinton, who with tin-other newly elected officers is to be in-

j stalled at this meeting.

t litifon’s Statement.President Clinton, in his statement,

says :

| "At the last meeting a resolution wasadopted instructing the incoming ad-ministration to appoint a committee onrevision of constitution. I shall beready to announce this commit!•* as

! soon as I have been installed. However,in view of the interest shown in quali-fications for membership, I think ithighly desirable that the associationshould give this committee definite in-structions at the next meeting on thisprint. A number of the most activemembers from the Maryland side haveagreed to refrain from voting on (his

question, and I take this opportunity <*frequesting all members from the Mary-land side to refrain from voting on thisone issue in order that the decision maybe made entirely by members residentin the District of Columbia.

"I am taking this step because I amconvinced that the work of the associa-tion is of more vital interest to Districtresidents than to Maryland residents.This is due primarily to the differencein rights of suffrage. The Maryland

residents have other methods of ex-pressing preferences on matters of ((im-

munity interest. Residents of the Dis-trict of Columbia are dependent almostwholly on this association. In the pastthere has been a helpful spirit of co-operation between the two sides, andthis has no doubt made the associationstronger in achievement. However, ifit api>ears that the interests of the twosides have now become hopelesslydivergent, the voice of the associationshould he the unhampered expression ofthe District residents.

Two Beside in Mary land.“Only two of the newly elected ofiicers

of the association arc residents ofMaryland, and I am authorized to speakfor both in saying that we are ready togive way to successors from the Districtof Columbia if the members on that sidemake known that it is their preferenceto control the affairs of the association.It is hoped that every member residentin the District of Columbia will be pres-ent at this meeting."

The two officers referred to in thestatement are President Guy Clintonand Chester C. Waters, first vice presi-dent, both of whom were elected at theNovember meeting of the association.The other officers elected at that timeare all residents of the District.

Veterans' Bureau Ordered to

; Meet Claimant More Than

Half Way.

tA now policy of “meeting the

> claimant mure than half way" in oon-¦ sideration of his case, has been laidt down by Director Frank T. Hines of

the Pnited States Veterans’ Bureau.¦ A general order has been issued by

1 Gen. Hines, in which employes are

¦ told in “border-line cases to give a¦ little more, rather than a little less;

- doubtful cases should be decided int the claimant’s favor when sin-h ac-

tion is not in contravention of law.”In explaining the new order, an of-

I tidal statement from th( bureau says:i “if a claim is incomplete and the' file contains the names of third par-¦ j ties who may be able to substantiate¦ j the claimant's contentions, employes

i are directed to take th<- initiative in’ securing such testimony by com a

municating directly with such thirdparties, in which case the claimantmust be advised why action in hiscase is being withheld.

“Director Hines in this order makesit very plain that the claimant is at

' ail times entitled t<> know exactlywhat action is being taken, and insome circumstances even what actionis being - contemplated in connectionwith claim as evidenced by in-structions prescribing procedure bythe claims and rating boards, whichare to the effect that when a claim-ant is being examined the medical

1 examiner will advise such claimantwhat degree of disability is beingrecommended to the board, explainingthat the degree given in the final

’ rating is necessarily contingent uponthe establishment of service connec-tion for each disability claimed.

Gain BeautyAnd keep it—as I did.By Edna Wallace Hopper

As a girl I multiplied my beauty ,; until it brought me world-wide fame. i j

! After 40 years in a stage career I 11 have kept that beauty. To the thou-

sands who see me daily I look like agirl of 19.

That is due to cultivation and toscientific care. Not to ordinarybeauty helps. I have spent yearsand fortunes to secure the utmostscience offers.

Now I have had those helps com- !bined so a dozen are applied at once. IAnd 1 am placing them at every 1woman’s call.

One is a super-cream. It is sup-plied by all druggists and toilet Icounters as Edna Wallace Hopper’s IYouth Cream.

It is far more than a cream. It II contains products of both lemon and

: strawberry. Also ail the best thati modern experts know how to foster,soften, feed and protect the skin. Allin one application. T cannot believe jthat there exists another beauty help jto compare.

My Y’outh Cream comes in two jtypes—cold cream and vanishing. 'They contain the same important in- 1gredients. I use the cold cream as ia night cream, the vanishing in the jday. Never is my face one hour with- iout it- The result is a complexion |for 4 0 years admired.

I wish 1 knew how to induce all |girls and women to adopt this super-cream. It means so much to them, jI will gladly send you some to try ifyou will mail this coupon. Please dothat if you wish to know how mucha cream can do.

COUNSEL OF B. & 0.UODS RAIL LAW

Tells Bankers Esch-CumminsAct Has Brought Roads

Success.

Hy the AsMH-hited I’ih-k,

BALTIMORE Md„ December k.—

The Esch-Cuuimins railroad law hasbrought to the railroads a greaterdegree of success than they have en-joyed in a dozen years, John J. Corn-well, general counsel of the Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad Company, said to-night in an address before the South-eastern group of the investmentbankers of America.

Any change in the law. or furtherrailroad legislation, he asserted, isliable to pul a blight on the presentprosperity.

Secs Mandate of People,

The recent election, Mr. Cornwell,declared, was in part a mandate ofthe people to retain the Ksch-Cum-mins act.

"Certainly the result of the lastelection," he said, “would indicatethat an overwhelming majority of theAmerican people registered their op-position not only to Senator La Fol-lette’s proposal of ultimate govern-ment ownership, hut likewise to hisdemand for immediate repeal of thetransportation act. The verdict wasagainst any more railroad legisla-lion at present

"I’rider the Esch-Cummins a-t. theroads have been doing an unprece-dented volume of business in an un-precedented way. They have brokentin- record of last oar. which was aleak year for car loadings and carir.ov < ments."
