Immediately after the short
discussion Glassford again
fought his way through the
police lines, jumped into a
fast automobile, and headed
for the Treasury Department,
apparently to ask for help
from the Federal Government.
Tension has been acute since
10 a. M, when Waters told his
men at Camp Glassford they
must leave one of the buildings
in the Pennsylvania Avenue
area.
The District Commissioners re-
ceived a visit from General Glass
ford shortly after the trouble
started. They refused to affirm
or deny a report that General
Glassford had asked them to call
for military aid.
General Glassford said that he
thought the police he had on hand

of sending them against that

Police and Treasury officials
had little difficulty in evicting
the 200 veterans who streamed
back into the building after

Only three arrests were made
during the protest of eviction, po

Mile. Mistinguett, perennial
darling of the Paris music

the marriage of NJ rice
Chevalier and Yvonne Vallee

She pleaded with Mile. Vallee
to consent to a reconciliation
and thus bring Chevalier's divorce
proceedings to an end. She
urged continuation of their
happy marriage in preference to
the new romance that Mile. Val

and Chevalier have been divorced.
No Need for Jealousy
Using all the persuasion at her
command, Mile. Mistinguett, to
whom no single item of Partisan
theatrical life is secret, tabulated
all the women with whose names
Chevalier'S has been linked and
insisted that in each case there
are no grounds for jealousy.
She told Mile. Vallee she has
confidential information that Jean
nette Macdonald, Chevalier's
leading lady, is the secret bride of
Bob Ritchie. her manager.
Marlene Dietrich, whom many
insist Chevalier plans to marry,
was nothing more than a close

Allotment Plan Attacked by
President Hunter of Pack

cy the associated Press.
Frank A. Hunter, president OF the
Hunter Packing Co. of East St. Louis,

mittee today that the producer would
bear the cost of applying the domestic
allotment farm relief plan to hogs.
ANY processing charge will be re-

Hunter testified. He will bear the cost
of this law which will interrupt the
orderly marketing of hogs without ben

Hunter was the first spokesman for

relief plan presented by organized farm
groups Already. representatives of the

posed the plan, which would pay a

1.-THE theory that these processing
charges can be pissed on to the con-
stiner is economically unsound
Under the present state Of the pub

lower prices on live hogs or take the

TEACHING AGAINST

crime teacher" for every grade school,
to impress upon growing children the
futility of lawlessness and dishonesty.
is urged by Circuit Attorney Franklin
Miller Of St. Louis.
Some such plan is made imperative.
in his opinion, by the increasing part
played by youth in criminal activities.
He cited three-year records Of his office,
showing that 64 per cent of those con-
victed of felonies were between the ages
Of II and 27 while 80 per cent were
under 81.
Violence Grimes Lead
Miller also pointed out that
crimes Of violence now predominant,
whereas Is years ago a majority of
those brought into court were charged
with furtive crimes, such as forgery or
larceny.
While Miller suggested that the best
place to begin "dnti-crime" education
is in the home. he expressed the opin-
ion that "looSening OF home ties" had
contributed much to the present prob
lem Of youth and crime
Every adolescent schoolboy under
Miller's plan. would be told 'in plain
English" as part of his formal class
room study, just what constitutes such
crimes as robbery and murder, and
what the consequences are

disgrace would be stressed. along with
the oft-repeated maxim that "crims

We have fine buildings, teachers
and textbooks Miller said, but we do
not teach our children what a criminal
is, and what it means to be a criminal.

that one of the most important phases

FARM GOODS SOLD .
TO HELP CHURCHES.
Southern Congregations Turn
Back Religious Finance
to Days of Abraham.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. R.-Alabama
Baptists have turned back to the days
Of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for ways
and means of supporting their churches.
The old idea OF paying farm products
into the church treasury has been
adopted as an outgrowth Of economic
conditions, but a modern twist has been
given the plan to be executed here.
Ministers. church executives and their
families will not be expected to eat the
vegetables. chickens and eggs that will
be contributed.
Market Day Established.
A Baptist curb market has been
designated and all products will be
placed on display and offered for sale.
Church members contributing will be
given credit for the amount Of money
received for their products.
The sale will be held Wednesday.
Already rural members Of the Mont
gomery Baptist Association are bring
ing their gifts to the market place
The first products to arrive were two
bales Of cotton, grown by the congre-
CATION of Bethel Church in Dallas
County, for church purposes.
Word has gone out that any farm
products will be received as donations
for the curb market sale. In addition
to cotton, canned fruits, chickens, eggs.
calves and pigs. home-ground corn meal
and garden products have been re-
ceived.
The plan originated with farmers,
who sent delegation to inquire of the
association if they could pay their
pledges in farm products. These farm
ers said they found 1t hard to pay
their dues in cash and, unless the
produce we're accepted, probably would
not be able to contribute at all to needs
of the church.
State Agent Aids.
Besides church officials, Helen john
son, State home demonstration agent,
has co-operated in arranging for the
sale, giving advice on arrangement of
the products to best advantage for at
tracing buyers.
Several similar projects have been
undertaken by Southern churches,
working as unit, or by individual
members. but usually the grower sold
his own product and turned the pro-
ceeds over to the church.
In Georgia Baptists have acclaimed
the success OF a plan known as Gods
acres" under which farmer members
of the church agreed to grow an acre
of some farm commodity exclusively for
church purposes
Presbyterians at Anderson, S. c..
sponsored a MY Church Acre" plan
this year. from which resulted many
contributions of farm products which
were auctioned by the pastor. Clemson
College officials and the county farm
agent co-operated.
