much OF 1t has been driven from

United Front Scottsboro Defense
Conference, which was held here on
Sunday, were elected. Mrs. Ball was
one of those elected as delegates.
Upon her return home she was
brutally attacked and terribly beaten
up by her husband, Reuben Ball, who,
under the influence of the lurid and
vicious lies spread by the local N. A.
A. G. P. leaders and preachers, be-
came furious because she had allied
herself with the mass movement to
save the nine boys. Mrs Ball was
saved from possible murder by the
intervention of Oscar Mcdowell, who
lives next door. She was taken into
the home of the McDowells and
nursed by Oscar McDowells mother.
Next day, Balls daughter had him
arrested. When the case came up
in court yesterday Ball told the judge
that his wife was a Red. whereupon
Judge Fleming congratulated the
wife-beater and gave him the infa-
nous advice to use shotgun on the
Reds. The judge, moreover, offered
police aid the next time Ball wanted
to beat his wife or attack workers
supporting the defense of the Scots
boro boys.
In their desperation, in face of the
growing unity of the white and Ne
gro workers in the fight TO save the
nine boys, the bosses and their court
further followed UP the action of
Judge Fleming with a police raid on
the home of Oscar Mcdowell. Police
today broke into their home and ar
rested Mcdowell, his mother and
Mrs. Ball on a trumped-up charge
of disorderly conduct for attending

A child Az years old, born in

mother and an American father,

ton of the principle of dual ma,

The case is that of James E.

tody the father has been fight
ing more than a year through the
State Department.
Says Child Legitimized
WEIGH asserts he Iegitimized the
child in Louisiana, thereby max
ing her an American citizen on
the traditional principle that the
citizenship follows the father.
Assistant Secretary of State

Cleansing Ways.

Gasoline is, Of course, an excellent
cleanser for various sorts Of silk and
wooden fabrics that will not stand the
usual water and soap bath. But it is
very, very foolish to attempt to use
gasoline in small quarters and gaso-
line is a dangerous substance to have
about. A great many sorts of wooden
material can be washed with water. AL
water, avoiding cold and hot water both
in washing and rinsing. A soap bark
solution should always be used in place
of soap when washing dark woolens
which might become streaked IL soap
were used. 1t Is an excellent plan to
have some soap bark always on hand
for this purpose. If there are children
in the family you will find 1t very use
full in washing navy blue trousers,
skirts and frocks.
Corduroy trousers, such as most young
boys have for hard wear in cool weather
to take the place of the khaki which
they wear in Summer-may be washed
satisfactorily. This corduroy Is a sort
Of cotton velvet-it should not be rubbed
or squeezed, however. Here again "soz-
zling' in iukewarm water is the best
plan. Rinse it in frequent baths of
lukewarm water to remove dirt. It
should not be wrung out to dry. How
ever, 1t may be run through an electric
wringer without harm If 1t is kept per-
fectly straight and fiat. Better still,
hang it up wet In the wind. After it
Is perfectly dry 1t should be brushed
into condition-never ironed.
