Major CahiII Speaks Here IN
der Auspices of Hahn
Stores.

How health and comfort of the
average American is dependent upon
the shoes he wears was explained by
Maj. Charles T. Cahill of Boston at
the City Club last night, before 500
members of the local chapter of the
Shoemen's Institute and their
friends.
Treating the romance of the
shoe" from the first reference to the
shoe in the Bible to the present
time, Major Cahill, an official of the
United Shoe Company of Beverly,
Mass, declared that shoes are an all
important factor in American life
and generally underestimated by
citizens.
Major Cahill spoke at the request
Of Harry w. Hahn and Company
stores here. He showed, with the
assistance of stereOpticon slides, the
evolution of the sandal, moccasin,
boot and shoe. Some OF the pictures
dealt with the pioneer manufacture
ers of shoes and the "ten.foot" fac.
tories in which they worked.
According to Major Cahill, ia
processes of the 2l0 necessary In
the making Of one shoe are taken
care of by 1874 different machines,
all invented within the past century.
A moving picture of the Goodyear

Georges Court.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April
1S.-Ira Templeton, colored, con-
victed Of first-degree murder by a
jury here last week, yesterday was
sentenced to life Imprisonment by

the butt end of a shotgun. The
homicide occurred last October on a
farm In Oxen Hill district, Prince
Georges county, Md.
: The woman's body was found in
the attic of a shanty the morning
after the killing by Deputy Sheriff
Everett E. Humphrey.
James Grayson, colored, convicted
of second-degree murder, was SEN

Grayson was charged with having

"Get a Visiting Nurse. She'll
fix 'em up"
This attitude on the part Of the
Washington public, when a mem
Der of the family falls i'll, is the
reason why the Instructive visit
ing Nurse Society is asking. the
people of the District for 500, 600.
The campaign was heartily en-
dorsed today by DR.. William y.
Tewksbury, former superintendent
of Columbia Tuberculosis Hospital
sit is through the visiting
nurses" he said, land their con-
tact with families under their care
that many cases of tuberculosis
are discovered and checked.
The present annual. budget or
the society is $50 1000, with no ade.
ouate allowance for expansion.
Ten additional nurses are needed
at once.
The society will be pleased to re-
ceiye donations of automobiles, in
lieu OF checks, as onethird more
territory can be covered by a nurse
in an automobile than afoot or on
n street car. In 1929, $4,000 was
spent for car fare alone.
Earnings from the paying pa
fients at 80 cents q visit cover
81 per cent of the society's ex-,
penses, The other SO per cent
represents nursing care given with.
out charge. to dependent sick in the
District.
In January, with diphtheria
epidemic impending twenty-six,
nurses made 5000 calls to homes
of the Ill.
A check for 500 from The
Washington Times was recently re-
ceived to aid in the society's work.,

HOUSE
Commission Decides $3.50 Is
Too Much for House Occu- i.
pied by Kappa Sigma.

Rent of the Kappa Sigma frater'
nifty house at 1853 n street north
west has been reduced from $3.50 to
$500 a month, by order of the Dis
trict Rent Commission, following I'LL
ing of a complaint by the fraternity.
The commission fixed the value
of the property at $22 $500, which is
$10,0 900 les than the new owner, Mar
garet CARRIER, said was the purchase
price.
While the. owner threw no verbal
bricks as to the care of the house by
the frat" members, she stated, in a
letter to the commission:
"As the occupants Of the house
number about twenty-five young and
healthy men, and there never has
been any one there who knew how
to take proper care Of the property,
I will be under an expense of at
least $1,000 to place 1t in the condi-
ton 1t was in when they took it
over"
The owner stated that $3.50 was
less than fair rental for the house,
considering the circumstances.

IN RACE To
HEAD DISTRICT
COMM TTEE
Lampert and Reed Both Are
Considered Good Friends of
National Capital.

Although the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress will not convene until next
December, local interest is being
manifested in the fight between
CONGRESSMAN Florian Lampert, OF
Wisconsin, and Stuart Reed. or
West Virginia, for the chairman
ship of the House District Com
mittee.
Both have served three terms in
Congress, and while neither has
personally announced his candidacy,
their friends are beginning to cam
paign for them.
Reed is regular party man
and will doubtless have the sup
port of the organization lined up
for Congressman Longworth Tor
floor leader. Lampert, while num-
bered in the Republican ranks, is
said to be a member of the bloc
in the House which is following the
La Toilette leadership.
In the slast Congress there were
fourteen Republicans and seven
Democrats on the House District
Committee. In view of the gains
made by the Democrats at the polls
last OECcIIlOCIp II ID CSl tain IAAcA@
the number of Democrats on the
committee will be increased.
Lampert has been a staunch sup
porter of the District in it's fight
for important legislation. Reed was
i'll much of the time during the end
of the last session of Congress but
also has shown a disposition to
favor the District.
Congressman Fred N Zihlmah. of
Maryland, who probably has sup
ported District measures as con-
scientiously as any member of the
District Committee, is out of the
running because of the fact he
already is chairman of the Com
mittee on Labor.
The Craftsmanship of the District
Committee is vacant. as a result of
the defeat Of Congressman Ben
Focht, of Pennsylvania.

RENT
Commission Unimpressed by
Landlords Advice as Friend
and Brother" ~

Landlords who advise a tenant
''as a friend and brother" are rare
in the records of the District Rent
Commission. The Rev. William
Walker, owner of the house at 1904
7 street northwest yesterday showed
himself as such a rarity.
Richard Warren. tenant of the
house, has succeeded in having his
rent reduced from 500 to SIS a
month.
According to the Rev. Mr.. Walker,
Warren understood when he took
the house that 500 was to be charged
as rent.
''E4e said that he was able to pay
the rent and was perfectly satisfied
with the house as it was" the min
lister told the commission. He was
a butler for a very rich man by the
name of Glover. who is president of
the Riggs Bank and who paid him
good wages. "A Z
:? IT would advise Mr.. Warren as
a friend and brother to learn the
lesson of economy. He should rent
a smaller house for three people anu
pay less money

the tale of the tenant.

the folding doors so that they

No Buns on Bowery
To Fill Plenty Of
Good Jobs
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The
acute labor shortage is being
reflected in the Bowery, famous
harbor of the unemployed.
The Bowery is practically de.
serted. Jobs are going a-beg-
ging. Employment agencies ara
in a quandry, investigation by
International News Service re-
vealed today. 1t is as Judge
Ebert Fl. Gary, the steel mag
nate says: Labor is scarce, de-
cidedly so.
Ordinarily enticing offers Of
$25 to $50 a week, eight-hour
day, and good living conditions
confront the passerby from
huge signs, but there are few
to pay attention to them.
The down-and-outers, from
whose ranks unskilled labor
used to be recruited, are hardly
seen. Some agencies have been
hit so hard by the non-appear-
ance of unemployed that they
have closed offices.
