A N informal dinner last Spring
~ at which Hans Kinder, leader
a of the National Symphony
4 \ Orchestra, was honor guest, de-
veloped significant proportions
for two young ladies from Tennessee,
Mr.. Kinder was invited to dine at
the King-Smith School last Spring
and after the dinner two of the
students Miss Penelope and Miss Re-
becca Tarwater were asked to sing
Negro spirituals for the guests.
Born in Rockwoo!, a small town In
the mountains of East Tennessee,
Penelope and Becky" the two fair
haired little daughters of lockwood S
big manufacturer" were rocked in
their cradles to their mammys Groom
ing of Little David" Use Got Shoes, -
and other now famous spirituals.
Attended "Foot-Washings."
As they grew into childhood and
young womanhood, one of the greatest
pleasures of the two sisters was to at
tend the 'foot-washings" at Negro re-
vivals, where the beautiful old songs
were sung by the simple colored people
In rich, mellow voices.
"Some of the spirituals which they
sing explained Miss Penelope, "are
SO rich in harmony that it lis impossible
for two voices to carry them properly "
THE oot-washings," she explained
ARE held in the Spring. It is a religious
ceremony, in which the minister starts
by washing the feet of some one In
the congregation. That man then
turns to the one next him, and re-
peats the performance, and SO 1t goes
throughout the assemblage. All the
time these ablutions are being carried
on the congregation sings the spirit
uals, sometimes singing unbrokenly for
hours at time"
Sing Mountain Senxs.
In addition to the spirituals, Miss
Penelope and her sister have a rich

FRISCO FANNY


 William Levitt, late of the Queens Bays and present gatekeeper to Dr. Charters, wheeled Sister Vel don's bicycle out from the gate house and produced his keys.
 "Thank you, Sergeant" smiled Sister Weldon, as she set forth on her seven-mile ride to Herepath, of which village, her brother, the Rev crend Laurence Weldon, was Vicar. z At the sound of the opening of his garden-gate, the Reverend Lau- renee weldon, with beaming smile of welcome, rose up from his chair under the huge chestnut tree that shaded the Vicarage lawn.
 Dear old Angela!" he thought to himself as he advanced to meet his sister.
 The enduring love that existed between this brother and sister was based upon sympathetic under standing, each knowing the we'll concealed philanthropy and prac- tical goodness of the other. He, Of how his sister devoted her income to helping the poor, and her abili- ties to nursing the sick. She, Of how he devoted his life to the lit- eral cure of souls.
 Well, Angela! How nice Of you to devote you afternoon off to visiting your brother, instead of to walking out with pr. Studley or with some other nice young man. Or are there no other nice young men, just now, at The Monastery?'' "Oh, a lovely one, my dear, laughed his sister, kissing him warmly.
 Let me take your bicycle, and you come and sit down. We'll have tea out here.
 And who's the lovely young man?" asked Laurence Weldon
 He came while I was away fol my holiday. Apparently pr. Char ters thought he could do something for him, but it's hopeless. And the annoying part is that Sir Bernaro Matthieson doesn't agree and won'f certify him. And pr. Studley SUD- ports Sir Bernard.
 For when Sir Bernard came, oul lunatic was as sane as you are, ane it appears that when he visited Sil Bernard in Harley Etreet he only complained of being generally neu. rotic. pr. Charters can't very wei call in any other doctor, innmedi- ately, in order to get the man cer. tified. Not just after Sir Der nard has declared him perfectly sane, and Dr. Studley has support. ed him. It's rather hard on pr Charters, especially when he onll took him in from motives of thu purest kindness"
 ''Is the chap troublesome?"
 troublesome! He's dangerous"
 "Oh! That's bad in place lik' The Monastery. Didn't they tel Sir Bernardo"
 "Yes. It was rather peculiar pr. Charters sent for me, and ther' were Sir Bernard and Dr. Studle. and Dr. MacAdoo talking to thl MT. Wave, the lunatic, and you'' have thought he was absolutely a sane as they were. And py tn time the consultation was over, myself felt there was nothing fo it but to declare he was san enough then-whatever he had beel before"
 How had he shown his madnes before?"
 .How hadn't he shown it? Ther was my own experience and MI James's, which was really rathe terrible. And, oh, dozen othe people had seen him and heard hir do and say most eccentric and in credible things.

HOOVER TO GET
PLEA FOR MINE
WAGE FARLEY
President TO Be Asked to
Call Operators in
Pay Session.

On the eve Of his departure for
indianapolis. President Herbert
Hoover is expected to receive a
resolution adopted by the executive
board of the United Mine Workers
OF America asking him to call a
joint conference of coal operators
and miners to find a solution to
their present economic difficulties.
Declaring that the conference
should be called for the purpose Of
mutually discussing the problems
Of the industry and finding a COM
mon understanding" it also points
out that unrestrained competition
has degraded thousands Of blum
inous coal miners to levels approx
mating serf labor"
Hoover well Equipped"
1t reminds President Hoover that
your knowledge and experience as
a mining engineer especially eouips
you to recognize the necessity of the
bituminous coal industry adopting
a program stabilizing labor costs as
the first fundamental step to a COR
rection Of present day Ills"
Pointing out that affairs have
grown steadily worse since the
senate committee three years ago
reported chaotic conditions in the
bituminous. coal industry" the reso-
luton declares:
"UnreStrained competition has
degraded thousands of bituminous
coal miners to levels approximating
serf labor. Capital assets and
human energy, with their resultant
economic sufferingS to entire COM
munities, are being bartered in the
guise of coal sales by the majority
Of the companies operating blum
nous mines.
Below Animal Standards
1.-THE fare of the workers and
their dependents actually is below
domestic animal standards.
"Calicoes, overalls and rags con-
stitute the clothing Of the mining
families, while the food consists OF
mu~h, beans and nnolasses.
This condition is most acute in
the great coal-producing states Of
Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, where the intensity
Of the struggle has reduced wages
and sales prices to levels insufficient
to maintain bare human subsistence.
Lose Meager Earnings
Even the meager earnings of oc-
casional employment are being
mulcted from the workers by an in.
dustrial piracy that has re-estab--
lished pluck me- stores as a means
of bolstering and continuing vicious
competition"
The resolution, which is signed by
John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent, calls upon the President to
personally sponsor the conference. :
AS an organization, we pledge you
our every assistance in making such
a conference an effective agency in
meeting the exigencies that demand
such action. We feel that the crisis
is one of such vital Importance, the
degradations in the coal industry so
preaching, that the conference,
when called, should not be delegated
as a department matter, but should
be sponsored and aided to the full
est extent possible by your office"

FUTURE TRADES
HOLD FIRM ON
WEATHER NEWS
Strong Liverpool Cables
Lend Support to
BuIIiSh Trend.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 12.-Evidences
that the Canadian weather was
clearing up and strong cables gave
wheat a firm tone as the Board OF
Trade opened today, but price
changes were insignificant at the
start.
Liverpool was steady on the Ca
madam weather development and
indicated a much better demand for
winter wheat. Most Canadian points
went dry last night and only a scat
tering Of light showers were re-
ported. Winnipeg was firm. Corn
was steady with wheat. Oats held
with the major cereals.
Wheat Easily OyersoId
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to 4 cent higher, corr
was unchanged to u cent lower and
oats were x cent up. Provisions
were steady.
Liverpool was higher then ex-
pected, but lost some of it's advance
by mid-afternoon, showing un-
changed to u cent higher. Wheat
does not respond much to bullish
news and also becomes easily over
sold; leadership is missing or
either side.
Canada apparently has had fairly
good rains except in some sections
of southern Saskatchewan, where
precipitation still is urgently need
ed. The American southwest is
getting too much rain, and a dry
spell will be necessary if there is
not be a wet harvest.
Severe Storm Reported
There was a severe storm in sew
eral sections of the west last night
principally in Oklahoma and South
Dakota.
September and December corn
sold at new lows for the year Thurs
day, although not much of a decline
was necessary to establish new marks
Trade is running light and is largely
local. The market continues to take
its cue from wheat.
Crop comments on oats are very
favorable and the market can not
disregard them. December set a
new low late THURSDAY. The cash
demand is taking care of most ar
rivals of old oats.
