CHILD NEEDS GOOD TASTE
P.T.A. President Says
Surroundings Are
Very Important

Just as a child is given gooc
food for the body, so must II
also be given surroundings bene
ficial to the mind, declared Mrs
Joseph H. Saunders, president OF
the District Parent-Teachers AS
sociation, today. She said:
"a child we'll fed. both bod
lily and mentally, will not go
outside the home for inferior
SuStenance. There must be
plenty of good books, good pic
lures, and furniture selected in
good taste"
For an example, Mrs. Saun
ders cited a friend who had al.
lowed her children to select the
color scheme for their own rooms
when they came of school age.
They chose with good taste
even at an early age, because
their early environment had been
good, she said. She also stressed
the value of furniture and pic.
lures with historic significance.
The lectures to be given next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day at 2::3O p. m. under auspices
of The Washington Times through
the Home Furnishings Institute
at the washington Auditorium,
will be a splendid opportunity
for mothers of limited means to
learn about home decorating,
Mrs. Saunders said.

"My boy friend is a musician.
He plays in the swelIeSt Orches-

self, but am not sure he loves
me. He don't go out with other
girls. When 1 asked him to re-
form from smoking and swear
ing he did it. When he first
met me he smoked and SwOre
all the time. Now he don't do
it."
"He only makes love to me
when my girl friend is around.
And when he tells me he loves
me, he looks in her eyes. She
knows that, too, ard has told
me. She has much prettier eyes
than / have"
AS she left the car she invited
me to meet her sometime at the
dance hall. I am afraid she'll
be disappointed.

MILLION URGED
FOR BUILDINGS
At ANNAPOLIS
Board of Visitors Recommends
New Apartments in
Report to Hoover

ANNAPOLIS, May Com
struction Of buildings at the
Naval Academy to cost almost
100000 has been recon-
mended to President Hoover
in the annual report of the
Board of Visitors, made pub
lie by Lieut.. Comdr. L. D. Nc
Cormick; aide to the superin-
tendent.
The principal item in the pro-
gram would be an apartment
house with accommodations for
so families, to cost $4,000. AL
lowanceS now paid yearly to so
officers for quarters, it is esti-
mated, amount to per cent of
the buildings estimated cost.
Other buildings recommended
include a brick shed for supplies
costing $4,000, and a new heat
ing plant costing $4,000, replac-
ing present ones.
Inc b0ard also recommended
that the present number of mid
shipmen be maintained, as the
saving to the Navy by cutting
down on the number would be
small per capita.
Twenty-eight young officers of
the Spanish navy are returning a
visit made by United States mid
shipmen to Cadiz while on a
cruise two years ago.
Arriving yesterday afternoon
they inspected the buildings and
grounds and spent the night here.
They will join their ship in New

FLORIDA MAKES
 QUICK MOVE TO
 HEAD OFF STORM
4,0OO People Are Being Rushed From Its Path to Places of Safety Storm on the Way

Miami, Fla, Sept6-(UP)-The state of Florida raced a tropical storm swirling inland from the Bahamas to-day, to move 4,000 persons living in tn direct path of the hurricane to safety before the storm struck.
 This city expected for hours that it would feel the full force of the storm for which warnings were posted early yesterday. It prepared for the worst. Then the hurricane changed it's course.
 To-day it was scheduled to hit about 140 miles northeast of here in the Lake Okeechobee region soon after noon.
 Governor Doyle E. Carlton or dered two special trains into the area to carry residents out. Miami made ready to extend any needed help. Highway department trucks in the region were ordered to help move the people.
 The first of the two special trains was ordered to pick up residents of Clewiston, Moorehaven, Canal Point and other towns on the east shore of the lake. These passen- gers were to be taken to West Palm Beach.
 About half hour later, the second special train was to pick up residents of Pahokee, Okeecho- bee and Bellglade on the west shore and carry them to Sebring.~
 State officials said the 4,000 or more would be evacuated within a four hour period, in plenty of time to escape the force of the storm.
 The governor assured all refu- gees that they would be furnished free transportation back home af- ter the storm.
 The Bahamas reported that the Hurricane was believed to have passed north of Nassau to-day. There was a 40-mile wind at Gov ernor's Harbor Sunday night, and 65-mile wind at Abaco Monday morning. The 30-mile wind at Grand Bahama Monday afternoon was reported increasing.
 The s. s. Munargo, sailing for New York at D. m. Monday, can- celled a scheduled call at Nassau because of the storm.

THIEVES GET $500 AT REEVES HOME
MAJOR JIMMY
 DOOLITTLE IS
 THE SPEED KING
Daredevil of the Air Raced Away at Cleveland to Win Leg on the Cup in 100 Mile Race

Cleveland, Sept 6.-(UP)-"Jim- my" Doolittle, rollicking daredevil of the air, wore the mantle of speed king today, his name inscrib- ed on the prized golden Thompson trophy.
 The former army flyer roared over the 100-mile course in the Thompson trophy race yesterday at an average speed of 252.686 miles an hour, fast enough to lap all but one contestant. Doolittle's time was 16.447 miles an hour faster than that of the winner of last years race.
 With his heels digging into the rudder bar, with the "gun" wide open, Jimmy" streaked his flying power plant around the pylons in a determined effort to get one leg on the speed trophy. And the man who has quit racing several times will be back next year and the next trying to get three legs on the trophy to win it permanently, friends predicted today.
 Jimmy" the swaggering demon for speed, lives from day to day to fly and stunt, his pilot comrades say. Airmen still talk of his dar- ing, his nonchalant attitude toward danger. Doolittle is a second de- gree member of the mythical Cater pillar club. He is credited with being the first person to make an outside loop. He made perfect take-off and landing at Mitchell Field with hood over his eyes in the Guggenheim "blind flying tests.
 His most recent, he calls it his greatest, was at St Louis last sum- mer. Doolittle was testing a mono plane when it started breaking up in the air. Jimmy" always re- sourceful, pulled his rip cord. The parachute jerked him from the cockpit at an altitude of 100 feet, far too low to have used the para chute in the conventional way.
 Doolittle flew the Wasp-powered Gee Bee yesterday, the same plane in whcih he set an unofficial world speed record on Thursday. He 44.69 seconds, including the slow start from the ground. Once in the air his speed leaped LO lHTee, lOuT, HFc anu oH ooAic straightaways, six miles a minute. He flew as he always does, throt- tie full out, taking the turns tight, his plane never deviating to the right or left unless to pass an op- ponent.
 Doolittle's motor burned gaso- lin eatt he rate of more than a gallon a minute, leaving a line of smoke in it's wake. At the finish Jimmy" dived his plane across the line, then zoomed up from 30 feet to thousand to. watch the others finish.
 Prize money in the race was dis tributed as follows:
 Doolittle, first, $4,500; James Wedell, second, $2,500; Roscoe Turner, third, $1,5O0; James Haiz. lip, fourth. $1.0oo; Lee Gehlbach fifth, $500.
 Yesterday morning Mrs Mae Haizlip, of St Louis broke the world land speed record for wo- men with mark of 255.513 miles an hour.

Tax Conference To
 Be Held In Worcestert
Bay State Division of New England Council Backs
 Movement to Study Problems '

Worcester, Mass.-In it's vigor- ous statewide campaign for con- trol of public expenditures and tax relief for business, agriculture and the home-owner, the Massachu- setts division of the New England council will hold a statewide con- ference of representatives of local taxpayers associations and tax committees at the Bancroft hotel in Worcester on Friday, September 23, it was announced to-day by John F. Tinsley of this city, chair man and Massachusetts member of the councils committee on com munity development. The confer ence will be held under the chair manship of MT Tinsley.
 While the meeting will be pri- marily a gathering of Massachu- setts business men working through local organizations for tax control, representatives of local taxpayers associations and tax committees in other New England states will be welcome.
 Since it's campaign got under way the Massachusetts division of the council has been instrumental in the creation of 31 local taxpay- ers' associations in the Bay state. These and other similar organiza- tions are now exerting strong influence in the tax situation throughout the state. The cam paign is being pressed vigorously as major project of the council, both in Massachusetts and in other New England states.
 The conference on September 23 is expected to be helpful to local communities in their attack upon the tax problem through the op- portunity it will afford for mutual discussion of common problems and procedures. Each taxpayers association or tax committee is in vited to send two or more repre- sentatives.

KAYE DON WILL BE BACK AGAIN
 TO SEEK TITLE
Defeated By Gar Wood Yesterday When His Engines Went Wrong as He Was Leading the American

Detroit, Sept 6.-UP)-Kaye Don, England's determined speed boat challenger, laughed at the jinx which foiled his Harmsworth trophy attempts for two successive years and began planning today for a third shot att he coveted plaque next September.
 The first move the blond British CT said, was to find out exactly what happened to the engines of his record-shattering Miss England III, causing them to stop in yes terday's crucial heat of the Harms worth classic on Lake St Clare per hitting Gar Wood in his Miss America x to eliminate him with out fight.
 After Don had taken momen- tary lead at the start of yesterday S second heat, his starboard engine stopped. While the craft limped along on one engine. the mechanic, Dick Garner, tried frantically to get it started. Nearly two laps had been covered when the port engine stopped and Miss England came to a standstill. Meanwhile Woods boat continued Zooming around the seven laps of the 35 mile course.
 Don's white-hulled craft which set a worlds record of 119.81 miles an hour in Scotland, has been hoisted out of the water at his boatwell and several mechanics are taking down the motors carefully, in hopes of finding out why they failed.
 Meanwhile the slim Englishman assured questioners that he would try again next year. He said he was disappointed at yesterdays mishap, but he emphasized with a cheery smile that he was not the least discouraged.
