COLLEGES FACE
MONEY CRISIS

The abyss over which educa-
tional enterprise hangs because of
lack of funds was the theme to-
day as prominent educators from
all parts of the country gathered
for the fifteenth annual meeting
of the American Council on Edu-
cation at the Brookings Institu-
ton.
Decrease in funds, both public
and private, for education is tend
ing in many instances to destroy
and cripple vital educational en-
terpriSes," according to Samuel P.
Capen, chancellor of the Univer-
Sity of Buffalo.

BY MARGARET LANE
NEW YORK, May QNSO.
Since the Times Square burlesque
houses have been getting into
such trouble with Cardinal Hayes,
Jane Cowl, and some others, New
Workers who have time to be
curious have been paying unac-
customed visits to these so-called
ribald shows to see whether they
are as shocking as people say.
= Spending yesterday afternoon
between the two burlesqueS IN
question certainly gave me some
new experiences, but I think my
soul came out unScathed.
Men Main Patrons
The chief surprise I had was
seeing two theaters well filled by
2 D. M, and almost exclusively
by men. 1 thought only women
had time to go to matineeS.
Here, however, were a few hun
dreds Of quiet, solid, well-behaved
middle-claSS men-moSt of them.

found only one thing in these
shows to offend me. That was the
presence on the stage, in company
with the scantily draped young
women, of little, ribald, obscene
man with whitened lips. He some
how embodied all that could ever
be called vile in this type of show.
The girls themselves, frankly
and rather naively pornographic,
could never upset anybody.
Forced FurOre
Miss Jane Cowl's objection to
the burlesque is that the nasty
minded crowds who stop to gaze
with prurient eyes at the photo
graphs displayed outside these
theaters make it impossible for
her to walk along Forty-second
Street. Well =!
It is really much less incon-
venient than a crowd of shop
gazing women, and although I
sometimes stop and look at the
pictures myself, I never manage
to feel particularly guilty about
it.

DemoAshing and Constructing

Demolition of insantary and dangerous old houses
seems to be most useful method Of adding to the
available employment in the District"
The Housing Committee of the Washington Council of

mittee has made study of the situation under experts
The Housing Committee also that such old houses
the beauty the city and reduce the value of the
property in the neighborhood where such houses
located.
Demoshing such unsightly houses will furnish employ.
ment to in need of jobs In all likelihood where the
tumbedoWn houses stand would be erected
and that naturally, jobs and better business,
well nicer neighborhoodS.
The DID, unSighty house is not productive to its
house the land is profitable.
Why not demosh the old and construct something new?
IT CAN BE DONE MOST REASONABLY NOW

Keep Close Watch
 on POcketbOOk
See That Children and Old Folk Are Guarded
 During Parade

The police, the Boy Scouts and members of the local Legion will be active during the parade to-day In seeing that no accidents occur, but aside from these, private individu- als should do something in that direction. Children and old people should be kept under controls, and owners of cars should keep them off the streets traversed by the marchers and nearby streets where spectators will congregate. It will be the largest parade ever held in Waterbury. and on all such occa- sions there is always the risk of accidents to people on foot, espe- cially children and elderly people.
 On all public demonstrations there are smart people who are on the lookout for a. Attle money, and people who have rolls in their pockets should see that 1t is not missing when they look for it.

OUTDOOR LIGHTS
 FOR HOMES GROW
Exterior Examinations for Both UtiIitarian and
 Decorative Purposes
ELI LOODLIGHTING GAINS

Exterior lighting of the home, used but a few years ago only for decorative purposes at Christmas time. has grown considerably with in the past several months. accord ing to lighting engineers of Con. necticut's electric public utilities. and is now being made to serve utilitarian, general decorative and protective purposes, the size of the installations being directly propor- donate to the size of the home.
 Exterior lighting started as a means of house Identification, the illumination of the street number of the house by one means or an- other. A variety of satisfactory this purpose. some Illuminating the number at the door, others on the lawn or fence posts and still others being set into steps leading from the walk to the entrance.
 The fastest practice is to illum- mate the entire entrance as well as the number. Changing architecture in the past decade has been an in- fiuence in this. absence of a front porch having encouraged the popu- larity of bracket lights and electric lanterns. Built-in entrance lighting Is now coming into use, so that the lighting architecturally becomes part of the doorway. Some homes also have several lights installed under the caves of the d1ouse, so that, when desirable, not only the entrance but the entire stoop or en- tire facide may be illuminated. Floodlighting to illuminate all sides of the house, the garage en- trance, the garden, etc, is also de- veloping, particularly with respect to larger homes, the first named in addition to utilitarian and decora- tive purposes serving as a means of protection should burglars or tres- passers enter the grounds. The ex. terior lights are also an aid in pro- tecting visitors from stumbling and lnjpring themselves where stairs or winding walks exist.

SIX SCIENTISTS
 SEEK LOST CITY
 OF MAYAN TRIBE

Los Angeles, (UP)-Lured by a hope of locating a mysterious city of the extinct Mayan empire, par ty of six scientists soon will leave New York on a 1200-mile trek through the jungles of Yucatan and Central America.
 Lawrence T. K. Griswold, for mer Harvard archaeology student, who. at 31, already has spent ten years in research among the mountain fastnesses of Peru and Bolivia, and the massed terrain of Central America, heads the eX- petition.
 The expedition also will seek to Nrecord the life and dialects of five vanishing tribes, the descendants of the Maya's subjects thousands of years ago.
 Griswold is one of the few men who can read the mystic picture writing of the Mayas. He clings to a theory that the Mayas were of Aryan, not Indian, origin; that they were tall, blue-eyed and per. haps bearded people, who crossed the Atlantic centuries ago. He be. lieves that, with the labor supplied by million enslaved native sub- jects, they erected the most elab- orate' civilization the new world had known until the coming of the
