GONG SOUNDS ON NEW ROUND OF GANN ROW Vice-President s Sister and Mrs. Longworth in Visit —Not of Peace. BY JOHN MORRIS Pre Staff ( orr^sp^nd^nt WASHINGTON. May 14.—Th? oiunteer referees officiating at the sclal “battle of the century' 1 today chalked up another round in the bout between Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Mrs. Dolly Curtis Gann to decide the question of which should go in first to dinner. Visiting the senate gallery Monday with Mrs. Gann and Judge Charles H. Magaw of Omaha. Mrs. Longworth remained only a few minutes in the vice-presidential row and departed while Mrs. Gann continued to listen to the debate on the floor. Gasps of Amazement all the rules of social and official etiquette, the highest ranking member of any social group must be the first to take her departure. Mrs. Longworth apparently considered it her prerogative to precede Mrs. Gann without hesitation or apology. The appearance in the gallery of Mrs. Gann, sister and official hostess of the Vice-President with Mrs. Longworth. wife of the Speaker of the house, brought audible gasps of amazement from the floor of the senate and from all in the galleries who recognized them. Mrs. Longworth's refusal to attend a dinner given recently by Mr and Mrs. Eugene Meyer, when she learned Mrs. Gann was to have the seat of honor, reopened with a vengeance the controversy over the latter's position in capital society. The spectacle they presented, chatting in the gallery and apparently on the best of terms, was sufficiently unexpected to distract attention generally from the speech Senator Smith W. Brookhart of lowa was delivering at the moment. Long Way From Peace Speaker Longworth himself, who believes the presiding officer of the house should rank next to the President of the United States, is understood to be in strong sympathy with his wife’s refusal to accept a status inferior to that accorded Mrs. Gann. That peace had not been concluded soon was revealed when Mrs. Longworth hurriedly explained to friends that the entire incident was the result of an accidental meeting with Mrs. Gann in an elevator, when both were on their way to the gallery. An invitation from Mrs. Gann to sit in the vice-presidential row was accepted by Mrs. Longworth. More than 80 per cent of the 100.000 annual cases of diphtheria in this country occur between the ages of 1 and 5 years.

OTHER CITIES HELP GOLDEN RULE DRIVE

Elwoorl, Columbus and Frankfort See Times Safety Film. Theaters, business houses, and schools of other Indiana cities are co-operating with The Indianapolis Times in sponsoring the Golden Rule Safety Club. More than eighty business houses on the main streets of Columbus have pledged themselves to display Golden Rule Safety placards and the Columbus Republican is informing its readers of the efforts of The Times to promote safety through the Golden Rule Safety Club. The two-reel feature safety film. “The Penalty,” that is not a mere preachment, but a lifelike story, well told, will open at Crump’s theater in Columbus Wednesday for a threeday run. It closes a three-day appearance tonight at the Princess theater. Frankfort. The safety film so appealed to school officials of Elwood that school was dismissed May 9 so that 2.000 students might see the film. The Elwood Call Leader, in commenting on the production, said: “It was very instructive and educational, being one of the finest films along safety lines shown in Elwood schools this year.” The thought of a Golden Rule Safety Club finds universal appeal.

the Carnegie imagination test, Ruger's puzzles, and O'Connor’s block assembly. Three hours should be set aside for the Thorndike test of abstract intelligence. Edison’s questionnaires, to judge from those which have been published, are not reliable enough. He seems never to have applied to them the rigorous scientific standard of verification which he imposes on his physical and chemical resetrches. The separate items in thi questionnaires need severe pruning and experimental validation. If an information test were to be included in the battery. I would use the Inglis vocabulary test, as revised by O'Connor. Strong's interest analysis test for revealing engineering aptitude would help. The physique of the candidates should also be compared by measuring their endurance and output of energy. Finally, their individual rankings in separate examinations should be weighed properly and combined in a convenient and statistically sound manner. If there is a mind like Edison’S among the candidates, this is the surest way to find it.

HINDENBURG TO RETIRE FROM PUBLIC POSTS Aged German Chief Will Refuse Second Term After 1932. BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent EERLIN, May 14.—President Paul Von Hindenburg, Germany’s soldierstatesman, will retire from public lite at the expiration of his present term of office in 1932 and spend the remainder of his days on his country estate, it was learned today. Called out of retirement in 1914 to command Germany’s armies in the eastern front and ultimately on all fronts, recalled again after the war to take the presidency of the republic, and thus, for the time being, settle internal political strife. Hindenburg, now 81. feels he would like to spend the remainder of his life in tranquility. The president already has communicated his intention to retire to his friends and political advisers. He has confided that under no condition would he accept a second term of the presidency. “As soon as I am relieved of the burden of office,” he told friends, "I shall retire to my country estate in Hanover and pass my last days there. I still hope to be able to sally forth for an occasional hunt after my retirement, “But once I have settled down in Hanover I never again shall cross the Vistula. I want to die there and be buried next to my wife.” Hindenburg was a national 'idol before he ran for the highest office in the republic. His enormous popularity and prestige have increased in office. But the nationalists have no more national idols on call.
