A. 3 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1020. Battling Pulton Street Fire MANY RESCUED IN31A1FI Russia Puts Henry Ford In Dictionary Pending Opening of Plant There Two Soviet Officials Here Now to Invite American Auto Manufacturers to Start Factories Development of Siberia Expected With Advent of Flivver. By E. K.

TITl'S. Flivverization of Soviet Russia seems near. Ford wants to start a factory there, he said the other day. And two Soviet officials are In this country now to invito him, General Motors and other American manufacturers to establish plants. it plan of those he has established In Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Cars will be sent there in complete knock-down. That is they will go out from tho Brooklyn or Statcn waterfronts, five or six motors In one box, a dbzon McADOO UPHOLDS BUSHEL IN JAILING OFFENSIVE LAWYER Chief Magistrate Says Disorderly Conduct Charge Should Have Been Pressed. Chief Magistrate McAdoo yester day upheld the action of Magistrate Hyman Bushel in ordering Isaiah, Lrebove, lawyer, of 11 w. 42d Manhattan, locked up in the detention pen of Tombs Court on Friday, when hi his opinion the attorney objected too strenuously to what he considered an infringement on the rights of his client, "Dappei' Tin" Collins. As a result of the incident, Lee-bove sent telegrams to Magistrate McAdoo and Mayor Walker, demanding Bushel's removal on the ground that ho was unfit for his duties.

Making it clear that he could not take the ex-parto statements of these concerned and had no right to pass on the Incident until he had a stenographic transcript of the minutes, Magistrate McAdoo said: "Tho whole question, it seems to me, is whether Magistrate Bushel should not have followed up the removal or arrest of this lawyer by formal complaint for disorderly conduct instead of releasing bun unconditionally. I may add that Magistrate Bushel, if he wishes, can still make a formal complaliH against the lawyer for disorderly conduct and the matter can then be tried In court. May Notify Bar Rulers. "Ho also can present the facts as shown by the minutes to the Bar Association for investigation and such action as the organization may deem proper." Pointing out that magistrates cannot bring contempt of court charges, Mr. McAdoo asserted that the proper mode of procedure for a magistrate is to bring charges of disorderly conduct when a lawyer creates a disturbance in his court.

Ho cited two cases where lawyers were punished for similar offenses. "A lawyer, when he transcends his privileges in a magistrate's court, or any other court, has no more rights than any other citizen," Mr. McAdoo said. "A lawyer is not privileged because he is a lawyer to create a disturbance any mote than an intoxicated man or an insane person. Being an officer of the court, he is to be held to a stricter accountability than any one else." Firemen fighting the three st.

Movies that will give every one In the theater a different point of view on the subject of the pictures were described yesterday at the meeting of the Optical Society of America at Columbia University by Herbert E. Ives of the Bell Telephone PLANS WIDER WAY TO FIX WALL AT COMMERCIAL HIGH Ross Says Danger of Bulge Was Known Year Ago by Board of Education.

The maintenance department of the Board of Education knew a year ago of the bulging, cracked condition of the retaining wall at the rear of Girls' Commercial High School, facing the Brighton Beach cut of the B. M. T. line. Alexander W.

Ross, deputy superintendent of school buildings, said yesterday. This was not made public until fear for the safety of her students and for persons frequenting the B. M. T. platform below, led Mrs.

Evelyn W. Allen, principal, to reveal the condition to The Eagle last week. Why that condition, described by Mrs. Allen as unsafe, remained, was not exDlalned. Stm trill ton at once, however, to remedy it, Ross ueuarea.

-nans are unaer way now," he said. Remedy Due "Very Soon." Asked when actual work would begin, he said "Very soon." Arrangement have been made with the T. officials to carry out these plans, Ross revealed. The T. has granted school authorities permission to use its land, adjacent to the retaining wall, during the bracing work, he said.

This wall, marking the northerly terminus of the school grounds. Is 15 feet high, of stone construction, and will of necessity have to be braced with supports imbedded in the ground. The exact nature of the plans to brace the wall have not been made known, Ross declined to give his opinion as to the cause of the bulging and cracking. Ross Sounded Warning. "Remember," was his terse comment, "the building was erected during the last administration" the John F.

Hylan administration and the regime of William H. Gom-pert, $25,000 superintendent of school buildings, whose resignation followed an investigation into leaky and faultily constructed school buildings. "That was when they took the power away from the deputy commissioners and put it in a central office." Ross said. It was Ross, who, two years before the school buildings investigation, warned that schools constructed with a "skeleton-type" wall would leak in a year or two.

but there are a few pock marks to mar it, and to give him that name of "Scarface" which he doesn't like. Friend of Dempsey. He has a strong, well-molded chin. He is six feet tall, says Mr. Goldstein, and he must weigh nearly 200 a second edition of Jack Dempsey, who, by the way, is his friend and who dines frequently at the guarded house on Palm Island.

Capone is powerful, moves quickly and silently and appears to take in at a glance every detail of everything that happens. And he would not sit with his back to the door. He wore a checkered coat, white flannel trousers, sport shoes and a light-gray fedora hat that was spotless. His stubby fingers were well manicured. His hands were white ajid soft, although they seemed muscular as well.

Bodyguards Alert. The two men who rode In the car with him were his bodyguards and they, as well as Capone, were well dressed. They were large men with quick, active eyes, and every move they made as one waited near the machine and the other waited at the elevator in the court house was BRile and quick. They were alert and watchful. Nothing escaped them.

Mr. Goldstein doesn't know that they are gangsters, but he was Impressed by their appearance of energetic efficiency. It was the same out at the mansion on the island. At the gate were several polite men. They were very watchful.

They allowed their politeness to go just so far. One got the impression; said Mr. Goldstein, that beyond the mark they set their politeness would change to hard, vicious commands and after that Well, no one but those Invited enter the Capone home. Southern Hospitality. From what he learned, Mr.

Goldstein believed that those invited are treated to real hospitality. Only the best of everything is offered. There is a private swimming pool, a private tennis and handball court. Capone and his guests can enjoy anything they want to enjoy without going off the Capone, however, does go off, and goes frequently. He attends the races dally.

He is going to the big ngnt. He makes friends with sporting men. He is planning to build a golf course which shall be open to everyone. He has become a substantial citizen, and he expects to continue to be a substantial citizen. A year ago, said Mr.

Goldstein, when Capone bought his home, tho solid citizenry banded together to drive him out. The Chamber of Commerce, the business men's clubs, all wanted him to leave town. Capone remained, but he minded his own bsulness. Becomes Good Citizen. He has never been in trouble -in Florida.

Not a word, not a whisper has ever been said against him. He has lived with his wife, his child and his friends, entertaining flcfW and then. But, as far as Florida is con- sets of springs In another and 15 doors in a tnirfl.

One man will put on a door, another will tighten up two bolts, and so on till the complete car runs- oil ready for delivery.

Must Train Workers. Human problems confront all American motorcar plants abroad. The people of the nation must be trained to do the work, as a motorcar manufacturer can afford to send out only 20 or 30 or 80 men from this country to supervise the work of getting the-plant started. An auto manufacturing school will thus bo an absolutely essential part of tho Ford plant in Russia. He will need also a school for dealers and agents in outlying sections, where they can learn how to attach new parts.

As in other parts of the world, ho may find eventually that he can assemblo the cars more cheaply than he could in Detroit, Labor will cost him far less. Jobs Held Desirable. American motorcar plants are popular places to work for the inhabitants of every land where they have been established. All the way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Japan, ambitious young men put themselves on waiting lists to get a chance to learn American mechanical methods by working for Ford or General Motors. Though the wages po'd b.v thMe assembly plants sound low In comparison with American wages, they are high when compared with those of other Industries in those conn-tries.

For $25- a week or less, in Russia, Ford will doubtless be able to get workers whom he can satisfactorily train. 5 ill IK I for In lies solid fair Wc SENATE VOTES ONE U. S. JUDGE HERE, 3 TO MANHATTAN Measure Referred Back to House Which Authorized Two for Brooklyn. Eagle norran, Colorado BoHding.

Washington, Feb. 23 One new Judge for the Federal Court in Brooklyn is authorized in a measure passed here today by the Senate and referred back to the House, where the Brooklyn district had been voted two new Federal Judges. At the same time the Dassed and sent to the President a bill authorizing the atraointment, of three additional judges for the Federal Court In Manhattan. Wagner Urged Two Judges. Senator Robert F.

Wagner, Democrat, had joined with Republican Congressmen of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Federal Grand Jurors As- soclatlon in a general agitation lor two additional judges for the Brook lyn district, declaring two more to be urgently needed. The calendars of all parts of the Brooklyn Federal Court have beea behind for years. An expedient con tinuously employed the past two or three years to prevent the accumu lated congestion of delayed cases becoming entirely unmanageable has been the importation of judges from other districts on temporary assignments, judge Frederick Bry ant of Malone. N. is in Brooklyn now, presiding over the criminal term on such a temporary assign ment.

Bacon Holds Hope for Two. "I am gratified to learn Brooklyn will get at least one Judge," scaled Representative Robert L. Bacon of New York, whose bill Is under con sideration. "However, I hope to see the bill come out of conference as originally passed by the House. "With the crowded conditions of the Federal courts in Brooklyn, it is sometimes necessary to wait as loni; as three years after a case has been placed on the calendar before it can be tried.

This works a great rmrd ship on the prisoners, lawyers and Judges. "The congestion in this district has continued to grow, and although efforts have been made to relieve the situation by the assignment of Judges from other districts they have not been of sufficient assistance to give hope of catching up with the docket." SEEKS JURY PROBE OF QUEENS GRAFT Brieger Will Ask Newcombe to Impanel Special Body. After an hour's conference with Commissioner of Accounts Higgins in Queens Boro Hall yesterday, Su perintendent of Street Cleaning Brieger announced that the investigation of frauds in his bureau had produced sufficient evidence to warrant asking for a special Grand Jury to continue the Inquiry. Brieger, who is to lay the facts he has uncovered belore District Attorney Richard S. Ntwcombe tomorrow, said he would make the request at that time.

He be accompanied by Boro President Harvey when he calls on Newcombe. Higgins and Brlcgor questioned one witness, a city employee, who, Brieger said, admitted diverting 76 gallons of city gasoline to a private garage. This man and 30 others are to be called in the inquiry. Higgins said that he would continue on a general assignment to aid the boro administration of Queens in cleaning up graft, and probably will spend most of next week there. Brieger declared that he will request the special Grand Jury, if impaneled, to Investigate also alleged grait in tne ooro department of Highways, cerned, Al Capone has never been anything but a quiet citizen.

He has given generously to every charity. He has supported every municipal undertaking. He has been polite. The Florida which sniffed at him when he arrived has learned to like him. Perhaps all the liklag isn't tempered with love.

Perhaps there Isn't an entire.trust. Mr. Goldstein says that the amazing thing about Capone is that he is so de cently affable. But his worst enemies in cnicaTO never could and never did say that he wasn't a fine person to know as long as one didn't cross him. The man who put Chicago on the map wants to let it stay there, but he doesn't want to help keep it there.

That's the story behind "Scarfare Al" Capone now. Constantly in Danger That is all very well. He says he wants to remain apart and possibly he can. The nest of dynamite is still there, however. For out of the past there is quite likely to come at any time a revengeful gangster or out of the present may come some member of Capone's own entourage, tired of the honest life, tired of watching the wheels go round but having no part in the machinery which makes them go.

Either is a constant menace to the security of "Scarface Al" Capone. sportsman. No one realizes that more than Mr. Goldstein after his visit to Florida, except perhaps Al himself and Al's closest followers. "There are two big dangers facing this man," said Mr.

Goldstein. "Some old gang war may be reopened or somebody may turn traitor. Capone while he lives can never live in absolute safety. He is always taking a chance." Raymond Street Jail, handcuffed to George Rose, 74, also a vagrant in the "Black Maria." Kuske told Rose of the visions he had of a warm cot and three square meals a day at the Jail. Ha was happy.

Suddenly Rose felt a tug at his arm and saw Kuske slide off the seat to the floor of the van. Michael Kuske. who had Joked a few minutes before and had talked of a good break, had died of heart failure superinduced by weakness from hunger. Old man Rose said slowly, shaking his head, "This is a new experience for me handcuffed to a dead man." Are Delayed on way Home as rul-ton St. Tieup Results.

three-alarm fire, which broke out Just when crowds of workers and shoppers were hurrying out of thee downtown business section of Brooklyn, tied up traffic on the frinee of the district for more than an -flour yesterday, and gave police and llremen a hard fight. It started in an antique furniture shop. Above the shop, however, lived nine families, all of whom were driven out, and several of whom were in serious danger. Three policemen and a citizen saved several, by escorting them to fire-escapes and down through the thick smoke in the halls, while one woman was carried kicking and fighting front the, building which she had said she wouldn't leave. The fire -ras in the five-story trick building which runs from 690 to 694 Fulton just at S.

Portland ave. It started in the cellar, probably from an overheated furnace, and was fed by a large quantity of antique furniture owned by Arnold Warmolts, who operates the store. Blaze Spreads Rapidly. Then it spread rapidly, and in almost no time had gutted the store and the two apartments above. Before firemen could get it under control all five floors were practically destroyed.

it was just a little before 1:30 when Patrolman Charles McCul-lough of the Bergen st. station discovered the flames. From that time until nearly 3 o'clock no rush-hour traffic moved. The result was that thousands hurrying home for nn afternoon of freedom were delayed. The Gates, Fulton and Putnam car lines were held up, as was the Fulton st.

elevated. After discovernig the Are, Patrolman McCullough called Patrolmen Barbla and Schwerdtfeger of the Classon ave. station and the three with William Roth, 769 Fulton rushed into the building. As others helped many down stairways, Sar-bia got three out over a fire escape. Save Mother and Baby.

When it appeared that all were but, McCullough learned Mrs. Dor-othey Fales and her 2-months-old baby were still on the fourth floor and that Mrs. Mary Morley, 73, was on the third floor. McCullough and Barbia went In and got Mrs. Fales end the baby out, although both were slightly overcome by smoke.

8chwerdtfeger went Into Mrs. Morley's apartment and found her quietly and happily rocking away there. He told her to come out, and she refused. So he carried her, and the went, kicking and flgthlng Bgalnst him. Meanwhile Deputy Chief Langdon had sent in three alarms.

Some of the firemen fought the blaze from the elevated structure. Firemen Dan O'Reardon of Rescue Company 2 and Theodore Herman, Langdon's chauffeur, were both badly cut by falling glass. Warmolts told police his damage would amount to between $50,000 and $75,000. HOOVER REFORM OF PRESIDENTIAL PATRONAGE SEEN Continued from Page 1. dry3 before inauguration are: Secretary of State: Henry L.

Stim-eon of New York. Secretary of the Treasury: Andrew W. Mslion of Pennsylvania, for perhaps a year. Secretary of the Navy: Charles Fiancis Adams of Massachusetts. Postmaster General: -Walter F.

Brown of Ohio. Fecretary of the Interior: Ray Lyman Wilbur of California. To this list might possibly be rdded the names of Mr. Davis for Secretary of Labor and of William J. Dcnbvan.

now assistant to the Attorney General, for Secretary of War. Labor Fights Doak. If Davis is retained, Mr. Hoover in this particular will be following the line of least resistance. Up to a few days ago it was felt that William N.

Doak of Virginia, editor of The Trainmen's Journal, would have the Labdr post. A strong backfire against the Doak selection has developed In American Federation of Labor circles. The trainmen's organizations are' the arislpcracy of union labor, and have never come into the Federation. They have been strong enough to go It alone in their controversies with the carriers, with only such commuS nlty1 of Interest between themselves and the Federation as would be occasioned by the mere fact of representing workers for corporations. Davis Unopposed.

No such opposition has developed to Davis, and it is understod that if he were reappointed, it would be without stirring up any sizable animosities in labor circles. Mr. Davis, though a labor man who has come up from the ranks, is well-to-do. He is an executive of the Loyal Order of Moose and lives in a palatial residence in fashionable Massachusetts ave. He would be credited to Indiana.

What place Mr. Good would have In the Cabinet is open to question. He comes from the farm belt. He is engaged in the practice of law in Chicago, but hU official residence is Iowa. He might succeed Secretary Jardine as Secretary of Agriculture, iut doubtless would be more eager take the Attorney Generalship, if offered to him.

Hoover Luces Good. When Mr. Good was In Congress he was at one time chairman of the Important Appropriations committee of the House, and while there he made an enviable record. In the Hoover campaign he did a high quality of executive work in corralling the vote of the Western State. from his Chicago headquarters, and it is known that Mr.

Hoover regards him highly. One man who has been mentioned for high Cabinet position can have it but will not be persuaded to accept- That is Henry M. Robinson, California banker and close friend of Mr. Hoover. There is a possibility, however, that when Secretary Mellon retires from the Cabinet a year hence.

Mr. Robinson- will be able lo dispose of his business affairs as to take the Treasury portfolio. noun 7 i ft alarm blaze at 690-4 Fulton neglected chemistry and physics during the past two generations and they are now feeling the retarding effect of the barrier which has grown up between them. Physicists have developed a number of agencies which have valuable curative properties, but the medical men do not understand the theory or technique of their operation and are largely dependent upon the instructions from hlgh-presmire salesmen whose instructions frequently consist of a mixture of technical terms and pure nonsense, Professor Williams pointed out. Attention was called by Professor Williams to the danger of the promiscuous U3e by laymen of ultraviolet light apparatus which is being advertised by the manufacturers as producers of artificial sunshine.

"We are due," he said, "to hear of people who will bask in the ultraviolet rays for an hour expecting to receive every benefit under the sun and then take a year to recover from the effects." Doctor Nearly Dead. He told of the case of two doctors, one of them purchased an ultraviolet light apparatus and expected to learn something of their theory and operation. A medical friend suffering from a lame shoulder came to him and asked to be given an ultra-violet treatment. The lamp was -turned on the lame shoulder for about 10 minutes. "The next day the medical man who had his lame shoulder treated was removed to the hospital.

He could not pass a single drop of urine. By induced sweating and other measures he was finally brought out of his condition safely but his escape was a narrow one." Conroy Slill Behind By 37 Ballots The recount figures in the antlcli-mactic election fight between State Senator Stephen F. Burkhard and Joseph M. Conroy, his Republican opponent, in last fall's election, in the Richmond Hill Police Headquarters, disclosed yesterday that Conroy Was trailing the Senator by 37 protested ballots. One hundred and sixty-two questionable ballots out of oi election districts counted were chalked up against the defeated Republican candidate as a result of yesterday's counting, while Senator Burkhard received 125.

Three hundred and twenty-seven election districts have yet to be tabulated. Fooled Redbreast DEVOE noticed those streaked white markings on the throat. I noticed everything about this robin in the Vale of Cashmere. He was a silent. Inactive robin, perched a bit lumpishly In a bush, but under the circumstances he impressed me as perfectly delightful.

What matter if he did not sing? Planestlcus migrator lus, for such is the dignified title of the redbreast, is one of Brooklyn'a most sociable birds. If you set out a bird bath you may count on a patron in the robin, and he has a penchant for nesting near human homes, behind loose shutters, under the eaves, in garden trees, everwhere, in short, that he can have contact with man. A friendly, attractive and useful chap, more than atoning for his inroads on fruit by his destruction of insect life, a robin is known and liked wherever he goes. Best of all is he liked when he comes back after long absence, like the one in Prospect Now, as a sober ornithologist. I am forced to admit that this robin has probably spent all winter iri or near Brooklyn.

It Is very unlikely that a spring bird would be here yet. But now and then one likes to forget about migration dates and fontei that robin's proper name is planestlcus mlgratorius. Enough that robin builds a mud-plastered nest and lays pale blue eggs in it, and has one of the loveliest evening carols in all blrddom; enough that robin, our old and perennial friend, is in Brooklyn and with him a promise of spring. t1lO're buying buying With Ford, a substantial American conservative, announcing himself as an "internationalist" and willing to place confidence In Russia, and Thomas D. Campbell, possible appointee to the post of Secretary of Agriculture, Just back with glowing accounts of conditions, speculation is growing as to President-elect Hoover's probable attitude toward Russia when he takes office.

Russians of today probably admire no one more than Ford. Their papers are full of him. And Ford, on his part, already advertises in publications for distribution throughout the Soviet Union, the advertisements containing pictures of his new car, with text in Russian, Ford In Dictionary, A couple of new words, a vcrh and an adjective, now in the dictionary of the Russian language, are derived irom oras name. One means "Fordlzc," or something of the sort, ana me otner "Fordhke." From Russia in Europe it will be oniy a snort step for Ford to pene trate Siberia with his cars. In fact, he has Asia very much in mind at present, as Is shown bv his accent ance of the post of honorary adviser to the Nationalist Government of China.

More than any other mechanical development, Asia and Russia need motorcars. The writer saw only one motorcar in Blberia on a trip across it two years ago. Yet much of the territory appeared ideal for motor transportation. Cars could drive right across the 6tepos or plains without construction roads, Just as they do today in unfenced sections of the Western prairies. Riven Block Growth.

Central Asia is in its present undeveloped state largely bccav.se the rivers flow north to the Arctic Ocean. Nobody wants to go out to the rest of tho world in that way. And the one line of -the Trans-Siberian Railway is practically the only effective transportation route. American motorcars running everywhere vould open up Central Asian communities 500 or 600 miles from the nearest railway, which now have no connection except by camel or horse with outside civilization. Ford at his plant in Russia will build tractors and assemble automobiles, he He has not announced the location he has chosen.

Offices Opened Here. Valerian 1. Mezhlauk and Aaron L. Schclnmann, the two highest Soviet officials ever to come to this country, are now here with offices at the Amtorg Trading Corporation, 165 Broadway, Manhattan, discussing with American manufacturers the possibility of motorizing Russia, and taking up the question of other improvements as well. Regarding roads, Mr, Mezhlauk said: "As in the United States, autos will stimulate the building of roads and thus help to solve that problem.

we believe it is better to do it this way than to let roads solve the problem of motorcars. Highways in Russia are constructed by the local au thorities, and they are Interesting themselves in the matter to a very-great extent. we now have from 40,000 to 60,000 miles of railways. We shall build more trunk railroad lines and rely on motor trucks as feeders for these lines." Ford's assembly plant in Russia will doubtless follow the general SENATE PASSES NAVY BILL MINUS NICARAGUA RIDER Continued from Tage pnohibit use of any of the Navy Department funds for maintenance or tne marines Nicaragua was adopted yesterday, 38 to 30. It was ottered by senator Dill, Democrat, Washington.

Sponsors of the Navy Department supply bill then carried the measure to an immediate vote and It was adopted without a roll call, thus killing fears of a filibuster against the provision of 112.370,000 for starting the newly authorized cruiser construction program. The addition of the cruiser funds by the Senate must be approved by the House. The navy bill now will be returned to that body and a conference for adjustment of other differences between the two houses is expected to be ordered Monday. The bill makes $200,000 available Immediately for starting the first five of the 15 cruisers. The remainder would be used during the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, for starting the second complement of five cruisers and the airplane carrier and for continuing work on the first five.

The navy bill carried a total ap propriation of $360,900,000 as passed by the Senate, an increase of about $13,000,000 over the amount voted by the House. Most of this Increase was accounted for by cruiser funds. Little time is expected to be required for adoption of an agreement with the House.

When the Ives discovery Is utilized and a close-up of a face is shown, those who are sitting at the extreme right and left positions in the theater will get a profile view of one side of the face, while those in front will get the full front view of the face. As the picture will have full perspective objects shown will appear to stand out In space.

The projection apparatus will be located behind the screen lastead of in front, as at and a slmi- transparent, a translucent, screen will be used Instead of the present opaque one. Great Difficulty Involved. The greatest difficulty involved in producing such pictures is in pho tographing the original scene. Four- een cameras, located at as many different points of view around the suoject, are used and these are all operated in synchronism. The pictures obtained are combined and they are shown through a single projection device, such as is now used.

They have the advantage, how ever, that the persons viewing the pictures need no device of any kind in order to get the effect of per spective and of the solid appearance oi me suDject. Mr. Ives described a method by which the task of photographing the originals might be simplified and the projection of them adapted to the simpler system by showing a much larger number of pictures in rapid succession. The key to Mr. Ives' method Is the use of a grating of opaque and transparent strips behind the screen and tnese correspond to similar strips of the various viewpoint pic tures taxen oy tne 14 cameras.

The system in a general way is somewhat similar to that used in the ad vertising device seen frequently in show windows and in which the picture changes as it is viewed from different angles. Prof. H. B. Williams of the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, at a Joint meeting of the American Optical So ciety ana tne American rnysicai so ciety, delivered an interesting paper in wnicn he pointed out tne need lor the development of a liaison group who, can act between the fields of chemistry, physics and medicine.

Medical men, he pointed out, have Warm Zephyrs By ALAN THE ROBIN. Spring has come! Now, of course, as a matter of fact, spring has not done anything of the sort; it is merely my reaction to seeing a robin in Prospect Park. There he was, right enough, his arrival perhaps precipitated by the warm days early this week. Spring came, for me -at least, in the Vale of Cashmere. There was ice still on the little pool and bits of ice still on the wilks, but beside me, on the banks and terraces, the earth had relaxed Into pleasant mod.

In a sense it is always spring la the Vale of Cashmere. There the trees seem less gaunt than elsewhere, more ready to start budding at the first hint of warm and there the foliage seem? never wholly to die. Evergreens capture the summer while it is still in Brooklyn, and retain something of it during all the winter. The dull g.cen clumps of rhododendron will not be made wintry by the heaviest snows. And there, to bring the spring picture to its completion, was my robin.

I do not mean to seem proprietary, but the first robin of spring is always a personal maUcr. In summer we look at so many robins that we do not see them, but now, having made our eyes sharper as well as our hearts fonder by absence, they claim our attention and our admiration. A robin is really stiiklngly handsome. Could you describe one accurately?
