Rooms still Sought.

In the meantime the housing COM
mittee of the local Council OF De-
Tense, under William H. Baldwin, will
continue to struggle to find rooms in
Washington for incoming clerks.
Every home in the city will soon be
canvassed for rooms, the housing COM
mittee having made appeals to the
citizens association to survey the
outlook in their respective communi.
ties and give aid.
There are many rooms in splendid
homes I'm outlying portions OF the city
and suburbs still available. but owing
to the poor car service. new clerks
are afraid to accept these opportuni-
ties. They will be compelled to accept
them or go homeless, IL is stated to-
day, and Government officials will
have to make allowance for delays
in reporting for work.
The prospects for Government relief
in the near future by barracks con-
struction, became better today
through the decision TO have all hous-
ing matters headed in" through Mr..
Wilson. Heretofore various agencies
have been at work on the question,
but none of them got anywhere.

erything must go through his de-
partment. In consultation with him
will be the advisory council OF the
Department OF Labor, headed by eN-
Gov. John Lind, OF Minnesota, and
DR.. Marshall. OF Chicago. This ad-
visory council now has before 1t plans
prepared by Major Starrett, or the
National Council Of Defense, for the
erection of dormitories in Washing
ton 20 care for the incoming thous-
ands OF Government clerks.
Major Starrett is one of the most
noted contractors and builders in the
country, and his plans call for tenn
porary dormitories for clerks and
army and navy officers who are I'M
able to find private accommodations
in Washington.
Secretary Wilson said today that
while he understood the seriousness
OF the local housing situation, IL was
the opinion OF those present that
where it Is possible for communities
to take care OF workers and clerks, it
is desirable they should do so to the
limit.
The advisory council, under Mr..
Wilson, will shortly present the facts
as to Washington conditions to Mr..
Wilson so that he may be able TO
lay these facts before Congress.

CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS
FOR ENTRANCE INTO S.A.T.C

The war department has issued in
structions defining its policy in re-
gard to the change in educational
requirements for admission to the
collegiate section of Students Army
Training Corps. An effort is being
made to keep these units UP to au-
thorized strength. Due to the press
ing need for officers in all branches
Of the service, men are continually
being transferred to officers training
camps, A new system of recruiting
these sections is being worked out,
and pending its completion, the war
department directs that institutions
where the present number of indicted
men is less than its authorized quota
may certify for induction such stu
dents who do not have the prescribed
number of units, but whom the head
Of the institution and the command
ing officer of the unit, jointly, be-
lieve to be competent to pursue one
of the programs prescribed. Due con-
sideration will be given to such high
school training as applicants have
had, also to vocational and business
experience, to previous military train
ing, and to such personal oualifica-
tions as are relevant to the making
of an officer. The purpose Of the
foregoing arrangement is not to abol-
ish educational standards, but to per-
nit such relaxation as is necessary
to bring the strength Of the corps
to its total authorization.
u An applicant for admission to the
students army training corns should
apply by mail Immediately to the ed
ucational institution Of his choice for
ta+ailed information.

GYPSY SMITH DELIVERS
ADDRESSES IN MEMPHIS

Gypsy Smith, the great evangelist
Of England, delivered two addresses
in Memphis on Tuesday of this week
in the interest of the United War
Work campaign. He spoke at the
Central Baptist Church at noon to
a crowded house, and about 500 peo-
ple were turned away. At 8 o'clock
that night he spoke to $500 people
in the First Methodist Church, and
at least 1900 were turned -away for
lack of room.
Mr.. Smith has served the boys on
the battlefields of France and Bel
gium through the Y. M. G. A. for
three wears, and brings first-hand
message as to the benefits Of that
and other welfare organizations to
our bows who have given up all to
serve for us and for civilization.
Gvpsv Smith says that an Amer
ican citizen who win not give his
money to keep these organizations
with the boys till they come home
ought to move to Germany. He says,
TOO. that when the fighting ceases
and the excitement of the battle is
over, the boys viii get homesick
and tired of the camp; they will
need the entertainment, comfort and
help of the 7. NJ. C. A. and all the
other organizations more than they
have ever needed them He estimates
that it viii be at least two years
before rehabilitation win take place.

WILL INVITE SOLDIERS TO
SPEND SUNDAY HERE

Quite number Of people are invit-
ing soldier boy friends from Park
Field to spend next Sunday with
them, and quite a number of people
who do not have special friends
among the soldiers are volunteering
to invite boys to dinner with them.
1t is desired to have so or rs sol
diers at the rally Sunday afternoon,
so if you would be glad to have a
soldier take dinner with you Sunday,
let that fact be known to Rev. r. A.
Clark or Mrs. 7. C. Howard, no later
than Friday night or Saturday morn
ing, and that special soldier will
worship at your church Sunday morn
ing and then go home with you from
church.
It is important to know how many
of the khaki lads to invite, SO the
shove parties must know who want
hem for dinner before they are in
vited.
Don't try to fix up big spread,
BUT just good, wholesome dinner,
and the good old southern hospitality
what they will appreciate.

ably more, the attention Of the coun-
try tonight was centered on contests
in three staets Michigan, Idaho and
New Mexico which will decide
whether the Democrats shall lose
control of the senate as well.
At midnight returns from five con-
gressional districts We're missing
in Montana, New Mexico and South
Dakota.
Without them, however, the Repub-
Leans have won 234 seats in the
House-16 more than the 2l8 votes
necessary for a majority.
The Democrats on the face of those
returns had 1876 seats, and if the five
missing districts were to be conceded
to them they still would lack Is votes
of the number necessary to control
he House.
Tonight's returns show plainly that
Speaker Clark, instead of being de-
feated as was reported as being like
ly last night, has been reelected by
substantial majority.
The contests which will decide the
political complexion of the Senate
were very close AS the Senate
stands without a decision in these
contests. there are 46 Democrats and
II Republicans
In Michigan the race between Hen
ry Ford and Truman H. Newberry
was so close that it was said an Of
ficial count might be required to de-
eide the winner Both parties were
claiming the seat.
In New Mexico, where Republi-
cans are claiming the election Of Sen
ator Fall by majority of 1000 at
least, not a single county has re-
ported complete returns.

GIVE Us OUR BALLOTS

We understand that all ballots
and records of the last general
election, which were sent by the
several counties by order of the
court to be counted and examined
again IN the governorship con-
test case, are to be destroyed.
We believe that if Graham
county has not yet sent in a re-
quest for the return of all ballots,
registers, tally lists, etc., sent to
Judge Stanford's court, the
county officials should lose no
time in demanding their return
here.
1t is bad enough for US to be
continually reminded that the
ballots show that dear old Gra-
ham gave a majority for a re-
publican candidate for governor,
without being kept under the
suspense that they might not be
destroyed in Phoenix as surely
and effectually as we will do it
here.
We don't want no ballot from
Graham county to escape and
wander around as evidence of
our crime to democracy. We
want those ballots so we can
make a good job of their total
destruction and remove to some
extent the blot on our proud ban
ner, which has always proclaimed
a democratic majority.
