' IS MADE D0CT0E OF LAWS New York Executive Speaks Before University of Pennsylvania,- I,a4- . insjr Honest Service aa Pres ent Day Requirement. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2J.-Aa has been Its custom for nearly J00 years, the anni versary of the birth of Oeorge Washing ton was observed today iby the University of Pennsylvania as "University day," the feature of which was the announcement of a number of glfta to the Institution, the conferring of degrees and the address of Governor Hughes of New Tork. The exer cises were held In the Academy of Music Governor Hughes was honored with the degreo of doctor of laws. Provost Cha-les C. Harrison announced that the medical school had been given (100,000 by an unnamed alumnus to endow a chair, the occupant to be known as "the Benjamin Rush professor of physio logical chemistry." The provost also made known that In a few days the university Will oome Into 150,000 for the endowment of ten beds In the university hospital. Presenting Governor Hughes, Provost Harrison spoke of the governor's "courage and disinterestedness." ., "In all our minds, in all our hearts," 'the provost said, "a great light shlneo forth In the flrmanent of our country in the character and personality of ths gentleman who Is about to address us." Honest Servicer Present Problem. Governor Hughes said In part: "The problem of America today Is to se cure honest' and faithful performance of public obligation. Important questions con stantly claim our attention and It Is easy In the seal of political controversy and In the debates of policy, largely to lose sight of the simple requirements of fidelity In administration. But we cannot afford to forget that whatever the merit of legisla tive proposals, the final ttst must over be found In the character and purpose of public servants. Wo have been sickened with the corruption that rots public enter prise and with the spectacle of legislative halls and administrative offices turned Into market places, where the exercise of governmental powers Is made the subject of barter and sale, ."We have representative government; but how shall wo Improve the quality of repre sentation save by Infusing the young men of the country with the spirit of Washing ton and thus assuring constant and cordial response to the Imperatives of honorT how, save by developing that sense of obliga tion and that Invincible loyalty to trust which made Washington not sltiply a mili tary hero and a popular and trusted leader In a critical period of history, but beyond thai, the Incarnation of public virtue and the type forever, In , tbla nation . and all others of the true public servant the Ideal representative of the people? "The artlflcfes of political ' manipulators were to him contemptible. Alike hi defeat and In. victory, whether as milltar-general or as a chief magistrate, nothing could stduce or daunt or affright him of shako that adherence to the principles of fair dealing and honorable execution of duty which made him the embodiment of the cause of : liberty. Si an I flea at Featnre of Today. "The most significant featura of our present life Is not the widespread existence of evil, but the' organised efforts to check it; not the regrettable display; of avarice, but the determination to protect the public Interest against overreaching cupidity; not the waste of lives In luxurious Idleness, but the magnitude of fruitful endeavor; not the prevalence of vice and misery, but the extension of reformatory agencies and the organisation of .philanthropy; not dvlo Indifference, however lamentable may be :ts scope.' but the widening demands of public spirit and the more emphatlo as sertion of community rights; not political manipulation, but the Indignation of the people at Us abuses; not faithless legis lators and administrative 'officials,' but the resentment which they arouse and the. nar rowing range of their lllloit activities. "Wo shall not avoid mistakes, but in the main neither Inflammatory and demogog lual appeal nor the dishonest arguments of special privilege will control the final but come.. Of first Importance is that wo should respect the Institutions of our coun try and love the ways of calm .reason. This, despite 'the occasional effervescences' which Washington foresaw Is, after all, the American habit."

Motives of Railroads; ' A coal dealer at Re In beck complains to the State Railroad commission about fail ure to get cars of coal from West Liberty apd Cedar Rapids and. asks: "Are the railroads doing all they can to get this coal forward, as they sty they are, or are they holding It that they may confiscate It for their own use!" The railroad com mission declines to answer the. question di rectly, as It Is purely . psychological, and they are unable to say what la going on In the minds of the' railroad 'managers. Very many such complamts are received. ' loirs Bor Is Advanced.' State Superintendent Rlggs today received from Commissioner Brown' of the federal bureau of education, notice that Harlan Updegraff, formerly of Knoxvllle, has been made chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington and that he will soon visit Iowa .on tour of tho states.

Tobln, collector of Internal revenue for the northern district of Iowa, states that the heads of corporations have been very slow In sending In their, reports as re quired under the new federal law.

If the local authori ties do not act, to see whether :or not the county attorney of Henry county should bo removed under state law. Most positive statements have been made and published as to his delinquency in office, yso that he has been at times unable to transact the business of the office.

SITE IS IN OLD HOME TOWN Memorial Will Be Plaeed ia Center f Historic Hegtlon Where First Preeldeat Spent Great Part of Ills Life. ALEXANDRIA. Va.. Feb. M The move ment to erect a permanent Masonic me morlal to Oeorge Washington took Its flrs definite form today, when General J. M. . Dickinson, recretary of war, and the grand masters of the Masonlo grand lodges met hero with other distinguished men of the trairnlty to form a National Mnsonlc Memorial association. Perhaps no Masonic celebration ever held anywhere In America has been more elaborate. In this quaint old town of Ivy-covered walls and rambling giirdenn, upon a street laid out bjr the young surveyor, near the spot where In 17M Braddock's young colonel quartered his troops before the fateful march to the Ohio; near tho historical old lodge where he was a master and In the midst of a field rich In the events of his life and memory. It "will be tho purpose of this association to erect a temple to George Washington, a Mason. Set apart In tho structure will be a hall of fame. In which sface will be allotted to all the grand juris dictions In- tho country to place tablets to the memorlea of their distinguished sons. The memorial would stand on Washing ton street. Close by Is the old Christ church, where, In his mature years, Wash ington served as a vestryman. On a field not far off he held his lost military re view. Across a shaded green In the stately old court house he cast his last vote, and there his will. It filed. Kataral Site for Memorial. Alexandria, by undisputed consent, is the natural site for the memorial. Washington moved to Mount Vernon when he was 16. with his half-brother, Lawrence, and until the chill, raw day of his death It was his borne and Alexandria was his home town. He became a member of Its council, repre sented It in tho Kouse of Burgesses, en dowed Its schools, established its fire de partment and was master of Its lodge. Tho men who will form the association met today in tho same Alexandria-Washington lodge room, where Washington oc cupied tho master's chair. While no fixed plan, oould be announced prior to the as sembly of ail the grand masters, It Is In short tho purpose of the lodge to false 11.000.000 to build and endow the memorial. The Institution will be unique among the memorials of the wor!d and will permit every grand jurisdiction' to honor every Mason It esteems to be deserving with a leaf In Ita hall of fame, a photograph and a biography. Tho gathering of such men of prominence in tho old lodge was 'impressive. Alexandria-Washington lodge No. 22, made Wash ington Its worshipful grand master In 1788. At his request In 1791 It laid the oorner stono of ho District of Columbia, and two years later assisted In laying tho corner stone of the national capltol. In 1799 It performed the Masonic ceremonies at his funeral. ' Mementoes of Dead President. In its halls, crowded with precious me mentoes, his memorial was organised today. There hanga the old charter granted' by Edmund Randolph, grand .master of Ma sons In Virginia, . In OJS8.,. Close by, its pendulum cord cut and its hands pointing to twenty minutes after ten In the even ing the hour and the minute of his death stands the old bed chamber clock". No money could buy this silent old tale-bearer. Nearby In a case Is the little trowel he used at laying the capltol corner-stone.. In another are his wedding gloves, his pocket compasses, farm spurs, a piece of his tent used at Yorktown, his old-fashioned med icine scales and an eloquent token of his reverence for his mother a little knife she gave to him as a reward. for his obedience, and which he treasured for fifty-six years. The Williams picture, painted from life in 1791, hangs on another wall. It cannot escape the eye, for it Is much unlike the accepted likenesses of Washington. It shows the man in his oxtreme old age and Is tho only original life picture extant, In Masonic Tegalia. His Masonic apron, em broidered In gold with French and Amer ican flags entwined, presented to the lodge In 1812 by his nephew, Lawrence Lewis, hangs nearby. The only original painting of Lord Fairfax, Washington's early pa tron and friend, ia also there. New Site for National Memorial. The master's chair, occupied by General Washington In presiding over tho lodge, stands In a glass esse, from which it is removed only on extraordinary occasions. It Is 122 years old and was constant use for 117 years. Scores of other things of his day, the old chairs' and benches of the lodge still In use, the front door key of the Bast lie. presented In 1S2S by Lafayette, which have come from relatives and friends, are valued beyond estimate.' There had been a sentiment against choosing a new site for the' memorial, but for a great many reasons the one proposed on Washington street Is better fitted to the purposes of a national undertaking, and the necessities have outweighed the patriotic sentiment and have won a grace ful consent to the new site. Today's first meeting, held In tho lodge room, adjourned at noon and all went to Mount Vernon by a special train. Tho party of distinguished men walked along tho bluff that overlooks the majestic river and laid a wreath upon the tomb. They then returned to t.-.e lodge at Alexandria for conferring of degrees. Tonight, at the annual banquet of the old lodge Secretary of War Dickinson, James D. Richardson, sovereign grand commander Scottish Rite Masons; Representatives Charles C. Carllng and Champ Clark, and the Rev. John Wesley Hill, D. D., of New Tork will speak. WldERSllAM GIVES FACTS (Continued from First Page.)

Take Off the Fat I7hare.lt Shows Most women suffer much humiliation be cause of great quantities of fat, so located that, no matter how they dres, ev'ryb'iO'y sees that they are abnormal. This Is the day of the slender figure, and fat women are simply not tolerated either In business or social affairs. Women may not know It, but men when they see a fat woman pass (hem on the street mske all manner of sympathetic remarks about her.
