says Washington's engineering
ability lias never been fully ap-f-reeialed.
Washington's methods were
surprisingly modern.
He reolitimed the Dismal
Swamp in Virginia, was advis
or and engineer on the Potomac
and .lames Hiver'canal and the
first to advise a combined high
way and waterway from the At
lantie coast to the Ohio river.

The President describes his
predecessor as "the most po

Ihe firmament of American in
tellect." (ieorge Washington was the
first, engineer to occupy the
White House. President Hoo

A war with England inter
fered with Washington's engi

A war with bootleggers in
terferes with Hoover's.

For a long time doctors have
known that red blond corpus

contain also a trace of copper.
This was long thought, to be
more or less accidental and un
important. Every plumber can

Washington reports that
Lincoln's birthday was cele
brated this year "more gener

are like great mountain peaks,
the farther away you are, the
more powerful they seem, little
men and mountains having van

history, Aristotle, Archmidcs,
Michael Angclo, Newton and
Shakespeare, are greater today
than ever before. Which name,
by the way, would you select

SOUTH HKNO, Ind., Teh. 18.
(A3) Alphonse Cupono, Ctitcnso's
Kuntiland chief, will bo deported
to Italy when public opinion In
aroused, it was predicted by Major
General Smedley I. Butler In an
address here last night.
"When public opposition is nrous
ed," Butler said, "Cupono will go
back to Italy hut I can't tall
about Italy."
The remark was one of a few
referring indirectly to the Mussolini-Butler
imbroglio made before
the Knife and Fork club, whose
members ho addressed on the sub
ject of the causes and cures of
crime.
"God help tho man who gets in
the way of an aroused public opin
ion." said the marine commander.
Had Experience
"I've had an experience of that
sort," he added
For the most part Butler con
fined his remarks to a description
of his administration of the Phila
delphia crime "cleanup" n few
years ago. He recommended the
constant shifting of policemen from
one heat to another as a means o
putting a stop to corruption.
The outspoken general, who said
ho had never posed for motion
pictures, engaged In a blustery ex
postulation at the start of IiIb
speech with nowsreel men whom
he finally permitted to set up their
cameras and incandescent lamps
before the speaker's table.
"I greet, you although 1 cannot
see you," he told his audience,
squinting into the blinding HghtB.
Halts Talk
After an attempt to begin .Ills
talk he suddenly halted.
I wish you'd get those things
out of here," he exploded, glower
ing, but with some good nature, at
the camera men. The machines
ground on and on as the general
stopped and fixed them with what
his subordinates used to call his
"gimlet eye."
Shouts of "Throw them out,"
"Down in front" and "Stop the
machines" came from the overflow
crowd of -100 diners. The machines
ceased turning but one hardy pho
tographer took two more leisurely
flashlight shots as the general fin
ally gave in and joked with his
"tormentor," then resumed his
speech.
Gives Crime Cure
"The most effective work In trac
ing criminals is through their wom
en. They always come back to
them.
"Police will carry on if you give
them hailf a break. They are hu
man like us and have families to
support."
"1 believe in prohibition nnd will
continue to until we get a better
plan.
"Any police chief will tell you he
can clean up n city in 24 hours
when the people demand it."

HINT VETS
LOAN VETO
BY HOOVER
President Says Measure
Will Nullify Benefits to'
Ex-Soldiers and Injure
Country Committee Re
ports Bill Favorably.
WASiriN-CTOX, Feb. 18 (ff
Tho senate agreed today to tako
up the veterans loan bill tomor
row. I AVASHtNOTON. Feb. 18 .
! The senate finance committee to-
day favorably re.portMl the vet
I erans loan bill without change and
1 despite tho opposition of President
' Hoover.
I The president, In a letter to
Chairman Kmoob, expressed fear
tho measure "will not only nullify
the benefits to tho veteran but in
flict injury to tho country ba 6
whole."
At the same time under Secre
tary Mills, and Veterans Adminis
trator Hlnes testified before the
committee the administration would
I accept a bill extending the loan
privileges to tnose veterans actual
ly In distress, which they estimat
ed at 200.000 to 300,000.
Moans a Veto
Replying to Senator Harrison,
i Democrat, Mississippi, Senator
Hinoot said he believed Mr. Hoov
er's letter meant a veto for the bill.
Spurred by the .Hoover opposi
tion, advocates in the senate re
newed their drive to get the bill
to the White House before Satur
day when the ten-day period pre
ceding an adjournment begins and
a pocket veto could be administer
ed.
President Hoover said he would
"not undertake to enumerate all
tho ground for objections to thbs
proposal."
"I have supported," he said, "and
the nation should maintain the im-
portant principle that when men.
have been called Into jeopardy of
their very lives in protection of the
nation, then the nation as a whole
Incurs a special obligation beyond
that to any other group of its cltl-
j fupporc inemseives,
He continued: "By far the larg
est part of the huge sum proposed
in this bill is to be available to
those who are not in distress.'
The president explained that be
cause of expansion of public con
struction tor assistance to tho un
employed and other relief meas
ures, the nation shows a deficit for
this year. He called attention, too,
to a billion dollars of early ma
turities of outstanding debts.
Means Ilond Sale
The money asked by the bill
could only be obtained, the presi
dent said, by sale of securities to
the public.
Mills testified he believed the
veteran "with gumption" would
tako advantage of the 4 Interest
i ralo to take tho loans and "make
om money."
'"Qh6 averngoi veteran without
gumption would take advantage of
R anyway," he added.
"You are going to make a diffi
cult situation for the treasury,1' he
said, "and possibly do harm to the
business recovery of the country."
