It is important that q player take
q careful look at the roll In the green
before he hits his putt. BY this I
mean that he should 60 to the edge
Of the green, or near the edge. and
look over the line his putt must fol-
low on its way to the cup and TO de-
ltermine how much allowance he
needs for the rise and fab Of the
green.
While many players r careless
| about this. you seldom see q good
performer overlook this item, whether
it's Just q friendly match or q tour
nannent.
Frequently. little rolls in the green
escape the eye unless . side view Is

that differentiate between q Is and q

The object Of this care In lining up
the putt Is to see an imaginary line
from the ball to the cup. II you ate
In doubt about the amount OF "bor-
row" to take because OF the roll OF

than a bit less. It will leave you
closer to the cup than u you hadn't

WOLL PROBING ITALY.
Head of Wage Farmers Conference In
vestigates Italian Use of Convict LabO

Head of Wage Farmers Conference In
NEW YORK, July 80 (P)-Matthew
Vol, president of the American Wage
Farmers Conference which protested to
the Government against the importation
of products from Soviet Russia on the
grounds that they are produced by con-
Wet labor, yesterday said his organiza-
ton was investigating reports that con-
vict made goods were being imported
from Italy.
I'VE have not as yet investigated the
situation as regards imports from
Fascist Italy," Mr. Woll said, but we
have no hesitation in saying that our
attitude on imports of convict labor
origin from Italy or any other country
will be no less hostile than is our stand
on similar imports from Soviet Russia.
American labor has no more SYM
pathy for italian Fascism than it has
for Russian Communism. In both
countries labor Is enslaved and our
sympathy goes out to the workers OF
both"
Mr.. woll said, however his organiza-
ton had no information tending to
show that Italian FaScism was attempt
ing to impose its system, its philosophy
and its social and economic systems
upon other countries "aS the Russian
Soviet government is doing"
A statement issued today by the Com
munist party, United States of America
(majority group. said the organization
had asked the National Broadcasting
Co. for time on the air to defeat the
drive led by Matthew VOL against the
Soviet Union and the left wing forces
in the American labor movement"
The statement said no answer to Its
request had been received.

LOWMAN TO TELL
OF BORDER GUARD
Assistant Treasury Secre-
tary to Be Speaker in Radio
Forum Tomorrow.

Seymour Lowman, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, will tell the public
How America Guards Her Borders" in
an address in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Washington
Star, and broadcast over the coaSt-to-
coast network of the Columbia Broad
casting System, tomorrow night at $50.
Mr.. LoWman in his Treasury post is
in charge of the United States Coast
Guard and the Bureau of Customs, with
its far-f1ung organization around the
border, and if the new border patrol
bill becomes law he would become adj
ministrator of this combined new Serv-
ice. The bill has passed the House and
Is now pending in the Senate.
The problems of guarding America S
borders are far more extensive than the
single problem of prevention of snug
Cling of liquor as Mr.. Lowman well
knows, and he is equipped to give a
picturesque and interesting word picture
to the American people of the activities
around the long border line of the
United States, both land and water.
Under the new border-patrol legisla-
ton the Government would combine
the activities of several Government
organizations represented on the border
for more effective, complete and uni
fled operation of Federal functions.
Mr.. Lowman, who has been Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, succeeding
Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews several years
ago, was former lieutenant governor OF
the State of New York.

CARPENTER SHOT
BY WIFE EXPIRES
Mrs. Myrtle Williams Held
on Murder Charge When
Wounds Prove Fatal.

Claude c. Williams, 55-year-old car
penter, of 3541 Tenth street. who was
shot by his wife July 81 during a quar-
rel, died at Emergency Hospital last
night. Death was directly attributed
to meningitis, which set in as result
of the wound caused by the entry Of q
bullet through the right temple, emerg-
ing through the right eye
The wife, Mrs. Myrtle Leona Will
liams, who was released on $500 bond
on a charge of assault with deadly
weapon following the shooting, was
arrested today on murder charge by
Headquarters Detectives Carlton Talley
and James Collins. Mrs. Williams had
been staying with friends IN Lyon VII
lage, Va.
The quarrel which preceded the
shooting is said to have been caused by
the husbands refusal to adequately pro-
vide for his wife. At the time of the
ARRAY the wife told police that Will
liams had given only about 81 day
toward her support. She said his
explanation was that he had been work.
ing only at odd jobs.
She said they returned from Florida
about the first of July after Williams
had lost his position with a railroad
there. They had resided in Washing
ton previously.
Mrs. Williams was quoted at the time
as saying that she married Williams
here about IL years ago. Both had
been married before.
Since their return to Washington. the
couple had roomed at the Tenth street
address.
A coroner's inquest into the death has
been called by DR.. j. Ramsey hewitt,
District coroner. for 1850 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

ton of blanks began that an attempt
was made to crash the gate"
Out of the 5000 or more women who
sought jobs, only the first 1000 were
given the coveted blanks to fill out.
The forms for distribution were limited
to that number. The first woman to
receive blank had waited in line since
against possible thundershowers by q
rain coat and carried folding camp
stool upon which she had dosed all
night.
The distribution of application blanks
was done under the supervision of the
application division of the Civil Service
Commission. Three desks had been
placed outside the front entrances of the
buildings, and over these Herbert E.
Morgan, James Barr, jr., and Edward
l.. Bennett presided. Twenty-Five min
utes later, at 8;55 o'clock, the last form
had been distributed.
The work of the police was not done
then, however, for hundreds of women
still beseiged the Offices until nearly 10
o'clock Groups of colored women
fingered outside on doorstepS and on
the curbstone filling out the blank
forms. At $50 o'clock about so had
been returned and the line was forming
to the right
Some of the women were bitter in
their disappointment, and others philo-
sophical. Owing to the monthly wage
of $50 the positions are eagerly sought.
A great many of those in line undoubt-
eddy were among the unemployed, but
Civil Service officials said that the great
ma ority were job holders who we're
eager for the higher wage.
Many Washington housewives, antici-
pating that the supply would far ex-
coed the demand, fastened to the scene
and secured cooks and maids of all
work. A number of~such women were
seen interviewing applicants who had
been turned away and many a dis
mayed face was wreathed In smiles as
a result.
The position Of charwoman calls fol
physical examination only. The staff
| of physicians attached to the examin-
ing board was kept busy during the
day examining applicants who had
| succeeded in obtaining the forms. Aside
| from the physical fitness the only Other
| qualification is that the applicants must
have reached their eighteenth but moi
| their fortieth birthday on July 80, 1880
Ordinarily there are only about Isl

building program and the anticipated
early opening of the Department o.

number would be about 200 this year.

at the Northwest Branch Reservoir
the elevation gaining or losing two or
three inches per day. In anticipation
of a continuation Of the present con-
ditions. the commission yesterday be-
gan another connection with the Dis
trict system at Georgia avenue. The
water at this point is what Is known as
the Districts third high service, and it
will be possible by shutting down IL to
IS valves to cut OF Takoma Park en-
tirely from the commissions supply
and furnish it water through the
Georgia avenue connection.
The water consumers throughout
the area have shown splendid spirit OF
cooperation. which the commission APP
preciates. This is evidenced by the
fact that for the four days before and
after July Ia, the date on which the
prohibition against sprinkling became
effective and general warnings were
sent out, the consumption was reduced
throughout the district from over six
million to slightly less than four mil
lion and this latter quantity is the
maximum that the commission is likely
to be able to furnish unless there Is
a favorable break in weather condi-
tions."
