An effort to reconcile needs Of the
high school curriculum, with demands
Of fire safety as set forth in the Fire
Departments rules will be made by the
District school authorities and the fire
marshal. seeking to curb expenditures
and promote the aesthetic beauty Of
the senior high school buildings, it was
revealed yesterday following a lengthy
conference between the District Com
mlSSlOners and school O1lCers.
The conference grew out Of q protest
last month by the Fine Arts Commits
sion against erection of scenery lofts"
at senior high school auditoriums on
the ground that these altitudinous box
like structures mar the architectural
beauty Of the buildings design and
cost more than the amount and kind
Of school dramatics warrant.
New Design Costly.
In an effort to overcome the Fine
Arts Commissions objections to the
scenery lofts, and, at the same time.
to provide the one-piece steel fireproof
curtain insisted upon by the fire mar
shall, Albert L. Harris, municipal archi-
the proposed Woodrow Wilson High
School in the Reno section Of Chevy
Chase without the Objectionable loft
The heights within the auditorium
wing are so arranged that the steel
curtain can be accommodated under
the main roof without having to extend
q housing for the curtain above the
roof ridge. While practical from a
structural and architectural point of
view, however, the cost Of the new de-
sign would be very high, it was learned
today. At yesterdays conference, the
high cost of the design was placed be-
fore the school authorities, including
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
and DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first as
sistant superintendent.
Reconciliation Sought.
Both school officers advised the
Commissioners that they were willing
to restrict to a reasonable degree" the
fhgn school dramatic program and ad-
wise the Commissioners that so far as
the scenery used In school productions
is concerned, it is all light material
that remains on the stage level and
which does not have TO be hoisted out
Of sight above the proscenium arch
The school men made it plain that If
1t were not for the fire marshal's in
sistance that the school auditoriums be
equipped with steel fire curtains, there
would be no need Of loft
Although no decision was reached at
the conference, those in attendance
left with the understanding that a
reconciliation" between the Fire De-
partment and the school authorities
would be sought to eliminate entirely, if
possible. the necessity for the costly
steel curtain.

Veterans Beaten By Police
as they Demonstrate
In Washington

Nine veterans were arrested on
July 25 in Washington after they
had started to picket the White
House. The veterans who started
to picket the White House were
attacked by police who beat the
marmed ex-soldiers with clubs.
Among those who were arrested
were John Pace of Detroit, and
Walter Flicker of Washington, D,

charged with "inciting 10 riot" an
obviously framed charge.

and Albert Geroshowitz, New

With the aid ofthe traitor Wat
ers, the police are going ahead
with their attempt to force then
to leave the city. Waters is agreed
that the veterans should leave the
city but is trying to maintain hi:
Influence over them. For that rea
son he has told them that they
should offer passive resistance II
the police if they evict them from
their temporary shelter in the gov
Iernment buildings.
In order to conceal the fighting

FARMERS RALLY
FOR AID IN Nd.
500 Farmers Demand Relief
From Government for
Harvesting Crops

Belden, N. OAK, July 2O-The
farmers meeting held at Stanley
courthouse yesterday afternoon,
July 10, was called at a very short
notice with only a small frnot page
notice in the Stanley Sun, the local
newspaper. The United Farmers
League of Nountrail County called
upon all farmers to be present to
discuss ways and means to get the
Irvine and other repairs TO har-
vest our crop which is ripening
very fast. AS the conditions of the
farmers of MountraiE county ara
no different than of the surround
ing territories, this question is o.
vital interest to all, practically 80
per cent of the farmers having the
seed loans from the Federal Gov
eminent and no money with which
to harvest this crop and further
more no security to borrow money
to buy the necessary things.
At this meeting there were APP
proximately 500 farmers, a few u.
F. L. members, some Farmers
Union members and quite few
who belonged to neither group, not
members of any organization. But
nevertheless all had the same pro-
blem, and were there for the pur-
pose of getting some action.
The meeting was called 10 order
by Arvo Husa, county secretary OF
the U. F. L., who briefly outlined
the purpose of it and opened the
nominations for chairman Of the
meeting. Harry Hardy of Ross,

EXPOSE GRAFT
In SOUP Line
Ex-Bootlegger Is Cook to
Hand Out Bread, Coffee
at Two Bits Per
(By TOMMY FREEMAN)

Missoula, Mont, July 19-The
city of Deer Lodge, Montana, had
a soup line that they were proud
of once but not any more. Two
militant workers who were on
their way to Missoula arrived in
Deer Lodge via side door pullman
and naturally being unemployed
they were broke and hungry.
They started looking for some
thing to eat, asking the only ones
that had anything, namely the
business men. They were told 30
go to the soup kitchen. This soup
kitchen proved to be similar to the
other nests of graft turnout the
country. An ex-bootlegger was
the "cook" as if a cook were need
ed to put up two slices of bread
and a cup of black coffee.
On being told that there was
nothing more than the above men
toned bread and coffee we formed
an investigation committee 30 see
why we were not getting the beans
and fruit we had been promised
We found that the dirty grafters
were getting 25 cents to hand out
two slices of bread and coffee. We
don't think the same cliques vii
be in charge of the outfit any
longer as we got results, we are
sure.

During the past week the Japa-

tack of the Japanese invaders In
Jehol brings them close to Soviet
Mongolia, which is friendly to the

While this invasion is being car
ried on by the japanese imperial

withdrew his huge army from
Manchuria, leaving the Japanese q
