Captain Rodgers
With Fairfax

The Fairfax Hunt was organized
five years ago at Sunset Hills,
the home of A. Smith Bow
man. Mr.. Bowman, a Kentuckian
in every sense of the word, has
the qualities of heart and mind
that place him among those who
enjoy the sport of riding to the
hounds.
From a small beginning this
hunt has grown into one that
numbers among its members real
lovers of the chase. The masters
are Capt. c. r. P. Rodgers and
John Finerty, and they have
announced the opening hunt for
october IA, with the Meet on the
green of the historic court house
at Fairfax.
This hunt is unique in having
it's own clubhouse, to which the
field and their invited guests go
for breakfast following the hunts.
Tuesdays and Saturdays are the
regular days for hunting from
October until March

President of the Fairt1r Hunt

PreS1dent OF the FGtrtGT Hunt
Much has been said and written
for years Of fox hunting in gen.
eral, but as far as know, nothing
has been said of the little red fox
as a salesman.
We have near at home a shin
ing example of this. Chevy Chase
started as a hunt club with only
a few subscribers, but the pink
coats, thoroughbred horses, horn
of the huntsman and cry of the
hounds soon attracted the atten-
ton of residents of Washington
and today that particular section
is one of the most valuable resi-
dental sections nearby.
The history of Chevy Chase Is
but a history of many other sub
urban localities.

By WILLIAM A. MUELLER
limited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

MILWAUKEE, June 80. = A re-
sounding appeal for new political
party that refuses to yield to the
liquor interests was voiced today
by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, Brooklyn,
N. Y, president of the Women's
Christian temperance Union.
At the 59th annual convention of
the temperance organization, Mrs.
Boole attacked both the Democratic
and the Republican parties for "be-
traying their constituencies" in
passing the prohibition repeal reso-
luton.
I'VE need a party that will re-
Boole declared, "a party of moral
ideals, party that stands for the
policy of prohibition and its admin
istration by its friends.
I'VE need a party that will re-
spect the constitution; and a con-
gress that will accept its RESPONSE
bilities.
"The drys will not give up in any
state without a fight. We reiterate
our conviction that prohibition is
the best method of dealing with the
liquor traffic"
Mis- Boole complained that open
violations of law have been con-
doned in the public press and by
reputable people.
Marked benefits have resulted
from prohibition, she said.
Benefits listed included the clos
ing of the open saloon and the ex-
pressed determination by the vets
as we'll as the drys, that it shall not
come back; elimination of liquor ad-
vertisements from the public press;
increase in savings bank accounts;
decrease in "drink-caused poverty
and crime" a decrease in women's
suffering from ill-treatment from
drunken husbands; a decrease in
drunkenness; an increa..a in home
owning and greater safets on the
; road.
There is fighting chance" that
voters in 20 states will fail to ratify
Mrs. Boole declared.
Mrs. Boole also voiced her or
ganization's protest against the le-
galization of beer.
Mrs. Boole praised the 81 repre-
sentatiyes and % senator's who re-
fused to vote for submission of the
repeal amendment.

sustaining empire if the world eco

Guard Daladier announced in the
chamber of deputies today
If the conference is unsuccessful

MANY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
SCHEDULED TO LOSE POSITIONS

WASHINGTON, June 80. UP
Thousands of government employ
ees today lost jobs which they had
figured were secure for life.
Tens of thousands more faced
salary cuts as every department
reduced its payroll to keep within
the drastically curtailed budget al
lotments for the new fiscal year be-
ginning tomorrow.
Official figures on the total num-
Der laid off were lacking because
many bureaus withheld personnel
adjustments until the last moment
It was estimated, however, that
5000 would be dismissed in Wash
ington today or In near future and
perhaps as many as 10000 in the
field services which extend through
out the land and into foreign coun-
tries.
With new jobs hard to find, it
was a day of stark tragedy for
many discharged workers. Several
have ended their lives after receiv-
ing notices of dismissal.
The administration, while deter
mined to do anything necessary to
reduce running expenses nearly
81 900 100000 in the new year. has
attempted to deal with its employ
ees as humanely as possible.
First to be laid off were married
persons whose husbands or wives
also work for the government.
Those who had been in the service
30 years were retired on part pay.

LONDON, June 30. U.P) - The
gold standard countries of Europe,
with the United States and Great
Britain, agreed tonight on a joint
statement announcing coordination
of their central banks to prevent
speculative fluctuations in the in
ternational monetary exchange.
The agreement is subject to Pres

reached after a private conference
attended by Prof. Raymond Moley,
representing President Roosevelt,
and leading statesmen and finan-
cial experts of Britain, France,
Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Bel
gium and Poland.
LONDON, June 80. = France,

gold standard, submitted to the
world economic conference today a
warning against initiation that
could be interpreted as threatening
retaliatory measures if America
refused to agree to currency stabil-

While delegates awaited the out

Roosevelt to agree to some meas

of curriencies, France submitted a
memorandum to the conference
subcommittee in subsidies, saying:
1.-The restoration of monetary
stability is an essential condition
precedent to any practical reduc-
ton of bounties and subsidies to
trade.
Devaluation of currency is the
most serious and most obvious of
all possible bounties.
Stultifying normal conditions
of competition, it is likely to pro-
voke measures of retaliation -
It was the United States refus-
al to agree to currency stabilization
that brought the conference to a
Fituation SO grave that delegates
talked Of going home. Hence there
was in the French memorandum
the threat that the United States,
by refusing to agree to stabiliza-

or special customs taxes or regula-
tions against American goods.
