PRESENTS GOETHALS WITH GOLD MEDAL

President Wilson Lauds the Work of Engineer Who Supervised Construction of Panama Canal. LEAD TAKEN BY U. S. Executive at Banquet of Geographic Society B o a s ts That This Country Cut Highway for Ships. WASHINGTON, March 4. Washington paid tribute last night to Col. George Washington Goethala, builder of the Panama canal. The occasion was the annual banquet of the National Geographic society, with Col Goethals present as the guest of honor and to receive from the hand of President Wilson a special gold medal awarded him by the society in recognition of his wonderful achievement. Secretary Bryan of the state department, was toastmaster, and gathered about the banquet table with the distinguished scientists of the society were President Wilson and his cabinet, justices of the supreme court, members of the diplomatic corps, high officers of the army and navy, leaders in both houses of congress and other notable figures in the life of the national capital. During the evening Jules J. Jusserand. French ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, formally was notified of his election to honorary membership in the society. The banquet hall presented a striking scene. At one end, raised high above the table, the words "Atlantic Goethals Pacific," blazed in brilliant electric letters, as all other lights were extinguished. As though it had been prearranged, this brought a roar of applause from the assemblage. Ice cream was served the diners from miniature dredges, carried by waiters dressed in uniform of the United States engineer corps, and followed by sailors bearing a tiny battleship. Individual dishes of ice cream appeared molded in the shape of the Panama canal dump car. The medal awarded Colonel Goethala was of heavy Roman gold. It v as an expression of the appreciation of the society and the nation of the army engineer's distinguished achievement. Its presentation was the final act of President Wilson's first year ' chief executive of the United States. 1 1! scribed on the medal were these words: "This medal of the National Geographic society is awarded to George Washington Goethals, to whose ability and patriotism the world owes the construction of the Panama canal, March 3, 1914." Presenting the medal, President Wilson said: "I am here to do what I suppose is hii unusual thing for a society of. this crt. It generally confers its honors upon those who have disclosed geoMaphy rather than upon those who have altered it. It is a sort of adverser and custodian of the globe, but '!. is about to honor '., gentleman who !i::s hnd the audacity to change the ; iobe. "'The engineering profession is one rf the few creative profc'snions. Those of us who have attempted to be literary men conceive that we have created conceptions of the mind, but we never can produce them in Court. They are never visibly i:pc,:i exhibition. But the magic of the engineer is th::t he can i hange ihe fyet cf nature and show 'he work of his '.;;:u'.;-. and ih'it it is iu some dec p sen He creative in character. "The life of in;uikiiid on the globe i:; altered, for example, by the cutting and the use of th Panama Canal. "The United States has made the world very uncomfortable, but it has at least done so by the exercise of extraordinary dynamic uualities. It is not one of thw statistical nations of th" world. It is one of the nations which has distributed equilibrium which has cut now paths for the thought and action of mind. Name Is Praised "And now there is to hp elevated, and kept always on high. tbi new experience, a name which will not. lie blotted out until and on loss the whole civilization of the world should change, the name of Colonel Goethals.

"I take it for granted that we do not tonight forget that distinguished group of men who Ins been associated with Colonel Goethals--that gallant and devoted soldier who gave his very life to see that the great work was done at Culebra Cut; that, man who made so much of this work possible.

WILLIAM LORIMER STILL IN POLITICS

Vlr X " If

His friends were not surprised to hear that William Lorimer, who was expelled as a member of the United States Senate for employing bribery to secure his seat, had announced in New York on his return from Europe that he had no intention of keeping out of politics. Senator Lorimer declared that he had been in politics as long as he could remember and that he intended to stick in the game as long as he lived. locks and the machinery by which these great things are administered. But we are merely acknowledging the presiding character and genius which drew all the elements of this work together, which made it a work done by co-laborers, not by rivals work done as if it were the conception of a single mind, and work done In the spirit of service and self effacement which belongs to a great service of a great government. "Represents Great Things." "There is nothing selfish in the eminence of Colonel Goethals. It is representative of a great profession: it is representative of a great government; it is representative of a great spirit. "I am glad that this thing was not done by private enterprise and that there is not thought of private profit anywhere in it, but that a great government put itself at the service of the world and used a great man to do a great thing. That is the ideal of the modern world, that the services to mankind shall be commonly shared. "So I esteem it a real privilege, acting on behalf of this society, to present to you, Colonel Goethals, this very beautiful medal. It is made of mere gold, and gold is of no consequence in this connection, but it speaks in the most precious metal we know, the gratitude and the admiration of the world.

RELEASE FARMER ON BOND OF $300 Bond was given for George Hicks today by his uncle, Harris Hicks, of Milton and the Washington township farmer, accused of robbing a camp southeast of Milton on Greensfork stream, was released from jail. The amount of the bond was $300, being twice the value of the property reported missing from the hunting camp. No additional evidence has been found against Hicks and with only a pistol and a coon skin recovered, a charge of petit larceny was placed against the prisoner. Because of the delay of bringing Hicks to trial he has been trying to secure bond from a number of his relatives and friends. He was held pending the investigation of a report that more of the stolen goods could be traced to Connersville. Hicks sold the coon skin and pistol there, it is said, thus incriminating him in the robbery. GRANDFATHER AGAIN WASHINGTON, March 4.

They also stated that the pardon board did not act favorably upon Piper's petition for parole until it had been ascertained that his various victims, with the exception of the company for which he had worked for a number of years, were willing that he be given his freedom so that he could start life anew. Piper is well advanced in years, but former friends who have seen him on the streets since Sunday say he appears to be in good health. "High Life" Responsible. Acquirement of a taste for "high life" while on a western tour for the F. & N. company in the summer and early fall of 1909, are said to have been responsible for Piper's downfall. On his return to Richmond late in September that year, he was accused by the company of being short in his account about $300. He admitted this fact, promised to return to his former home in the east, live a model life and return the money he had taken from the company. Instead of going east, however. Piper went west, where he still represented himself as being a traveling salesman for the F. & N. company, and through his, widespread acquaintance, was able to cash his personal checks almost at will In every city he visited. He looated first at Portland, Ore., but operated at Seattle, Spokane, Wash., Oakland, Cal., Denver Col., Colorado Springs and various other cities throughout the west. The local concern soon became aware of the man's operations and immediately notified all of its customers to beware of Piper, as he was no longer connected with the F. & N., and his personal checks were of no value. However, even after this notice had been sent out, so much confidence did the customers have in the man, and so sincere was his line of talk, that he was able to secure money in spite of the warnings, and continued his fraudulent, work. Taste of High Life. Piper traveled extensively, even going to Honolulu and Japan. He reached Japan on December 17, according to his own statement and sailed for America again on January 8. While on board the steamer upon his return trip, he wrote Mr. Lontz a letter in which he stated that he realized the error of his way, but that his taste for high life while on his last trip for the F. and N. was the beginning of a sad end, which would eventually result in his downfall and disgrace. He returned to San Francisco and thence to Portland, Ore., where he cashed two checks, using the Second National bank drafts of this city. The checks were for $300 and $500. He then went to Helena, Mont., where he was successful in cashing a check for $200, through his acquaintance with a Mr. Saunders, an attorney of Helena, who had been a student in Exeter academy and knew Piper's sister. After cashing checks in Colorado Springs and Denver, always using the certificates on the Second Xn'loiml bank of this city, Piper went to Boston, Mass., where he had a Mr. Shote cash a check for $200. Mr. Shote is a relative of Piper. All of the cheeks were received by the bank in this city, but were returned, all being protested. From Boston Piper went to Hartford where he was arrested and returned to Richmond by Chief of Police Gormon and Mr. Lontz. His arrival here was dramatic, a number of the employes of the F. and N. company hooting and hissing hlra as he stepped off the train and was escorted to the patrol wagon.

Doctor Gets Training in Balkans Treating Wounded on War Front

Dr. W. B. Boyle, of Patriot, lud., who served as a surgeon in the Servian army for several months during the recent war of the Balkan allies against Turkey, was in the city yesterday and today, the guest of Dr. George Hunt, with whom he roomed when they were students at a medical college. Dr. Boyle is a young man, and in conversation with a few friends spoke most entertainingly on his experiences in the Balkan war, an experience very few American had. Dr. Boyle said that at the outbreak of the war he was taking a postgraduate course at a medical school in Berlin, Germany. When the Seri vian government sent a cail to Berlin for surgeons, he and seven other American medical students responded. Arriving at Belgrade, the capital of Servia, they were divided into squads of four. Dr. Boyle and three companions were sent to a large military base at Krugawach, in southern Servia, near the scene of the Servian army's operation. Each man was placed in charge of a military hospital. The other four Americans were sent to anotehr military base, but re turned to Berlin after one day's experience with the horrors of war.

IDLE COAST ARMY LEAVES FOR CAPITAL

Rival Factions Depart From San Francisco on Long Hike to Washington. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 4. In rival factious totaling about 1,500 men the unemployed "army" of San Francisco this afternoon crossed the bay by the Southern Pacific creek route on the first leg, the leaders assert cf the transcontinental march to Washington. Following a long period of dissension between W. A. Thorn, recognized leader of the Industrial Workers of the orld element of the "army," and! "Gen." Charles T. Kelley, commander-in-chief of the entire body, and the man responsible for the semi-military organization of the workless, Thorn this afternoon assembled about ;:00 men who had seceded from the main army and marched down Market street to the ferry. Collections were tar n up on the way and pt the ferry. Heading the line o. march were Mrs. Irene Ad lor cf the I. w. W. and Dorothy Rymer, who had just arrived in the city at the head of the "Hungry Hundred" from Portland, Ore. "Wo haven't arranged for transportation bej'ond Oakland, for camping across the bay, or for feeding on our way to Washington," said Thorn. "I guess we will get through somehow." An attenuated commissariat and camp pedlmenta bore witness that he spoke the truth, for two or three hand drawn wagons piled with wretched looking bundles of bedding comprised the baggage train of the I. W. W. column. According to "Gen" Kelley, his "army" is much more fortunately situated than the rebel clan. "We have transportation to Ogden already arranged for and we expect to camp at Emeryville near Oakland for three or four days," Kelley said. "After that we will go on our way to Washington. As for food along the way, we trust the people of the communities through which we pass will help us out." FIVE EHTERC0 NTEST Economy Persons to Compete in W. C. T. U. Contest j Five boys and girls are enlisted as contestants in the Gold Medal speaking contest at Economy tonight. The speaking contest is being held in connection with the W. C. T. U. conveni tion in that place today and tomorrow. The names of the contestants have been withheld until after the contest so that the judges will have no klowledge of who will speak. This method of secrecy is taken so that no charges of favoritism may be brought against the judges. The speakers are residents of Economy. It was expected that more would have entere dthe contest had it not been for the continued inclement weather which made it impossible for i many to reach the seat of the conveni tion. I The convention sessions will be held , in the Methodist Episcopal church. A number of Richmond W. C. T. U. workers are planning to attend the meetings which will continue until Thursday evening. CORY TO BE SEEN IN F. C. UNIFORM The American Seeding-Machine company five meets the Fountain City Independents tonight at the "Y" in a game that bids fair to be a battle from the initial whistle to the last shot. The Seeders are going at a hot pace and are confident of lowering the colors of the up-county boys tonight. The men are in good condition for the go, and expect to give the visitors a walloping. The Fountain City outfit will rely on the efforts of one Cory, an old I. U. man, who is fast and good at the baskets. Cory has played against the "Y" outfit several times and is, in the opinion of that crew, one of the best in the game. The teams will line-up as follows: Fountain City. A. S.-M. C.

China proper, has less than0.4 miles of open railway to every one hundred square milesof territory, and estimating the population at 327.000,000, theue are 0.8 miles of line to ev?ry ten thousand inhabitants. Each day, Dr. Boyle said, hundreds of sick and wounded Servians were brought into Kruawach from the firing line, and all four hospitals were always fille dto overflowing. He waa assisted in his work by an intern and an interpreter, who spoke Servian and German. "Of course I had a great amount of surgical work, but most of my soldier patients suffered from rheumatism, pneumonia, typhus, smallpox and blood diseases," Dr. Boyle said. "The Servians are a brave and sturdy race, but very ignorant. They bore their sufferings with great fortitude, and were very grateful for the atteni tions given them. Of course the hos pitals were crude affairs, but we were plentifully supplied with medicine and were furnished with very good operating instruments. I never realized the true significance of war until the first time I laid eyes upon those poor maimed fellows in my hospital, many wounded horribly by schrapnel, highpower bullets and by bayonets. Some times the place was like a shamble. I was quartered in a school house and slept in a bunk and had very few conveniences, but tne experience I had well repaid the nardships 1 endured."

the children and their families; then the surplus should be marketed to the best advantage. Through the help of the teacher this can be done in a co operative way. Ten or fifteen cents worth of vegetables each day from the gardens of each of 200 children would amount to $20 or $30. In the summer and fall when the surplus Is large and can not be marketed to advantage, the teacher should direct and help the children in canning and preserving for winter use or for sale. The canning and tomato clubs of the Southern States have already shown what can be done in this way. "It is difficult to estimate the results of this plan when it shall be In full operation throughout the country.

She needs no protection but the dark hat with Its long veil, the long blue coat, with the white letters on its sleeve. For twenty years the uniform of the visiting nurse has stood for friendliness and service in the streets of Chicago and there is no recorded instance in which it has failed to receive respect and protection. People who believe that In Individual rather than institutional work lies the greatest promise of permanent good, see in the tremendous growth of the Visiting Nurse association and the similar activities it has inspired-' one of the most hopeful signs of real progress. In 1890. when the Chicago association was founded, by Mrs. Charles Stedman Hanks of Boston, her home city and Philadelphia were alone among American cities in enjoying the services of the visiting nurse. For two years she supported at her sole expense the two nurses who began the Chicago work. For a long time the growth of the association was comparatively slow. In 19 on it had only nineteen nurses In the field. But since that time the importance of the work done, not only in relieving distress and curing the sick but in spreading a knowledge of hygiene and healthful methods of living, has been deeply impressed on the public mind. In 1913 the 'field force of the Visiting Nurse association had increased to sixty-nine significant the municipal government has taken up the work and had eighty-six public school nurses and thirty-seven tuberculosis sanitarium nurses at work. Add to them the thirteen nurses of the Infant Welfare society, the four specially trained experts of the Mental Hygiene society, and the fourteen visitors of the social service departments maintained by five of the leading hospitals of the city and the total is astonishing. Today there are 223 nurses engaged in the various branches of the same great work. The Visiting Nurse association, the parent of them all, covers the whole city. With its central office at 104 Michigan avenue it maintains eight substations scattered about the city, at each of which a nurse is on duty during the noon hour daily. Last year 16,000 calls for nursing service

In the city as a whole, the sixtynine regular nurses made 185,000 calls during 1913, an average of about five calls to each patient. Fees paid by the patients during the year amounted to about $2,400, enough to support two nurses for the entire period. But, important as that feature Is, the work of the visiting nurses did not stop with simply gdvlnj; attention to the sick. In a large percentage of the more than 20,000 Chicago families visited during the year . they were called on to act as advisers in the improvement of living conditions. In many cases they have been able to secure Improvement by reporting plain violations of the law to the city health department.

Here's an Old-time Recipe That Anybody Can Apply. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known downtown druggist says Its darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. It becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.
