JESSIE FREDERICK STEINER

JESSIE FREDERICK STEINER (Authcr and Professor of Scciol-
 cgy, University of Wachingtcn.)
 SEATTLE, Aug. 26 America must teach her workers to play if the national recovery admins tration is to succeed perfectly.
 Under the MIRA, the people are receiving the gift of more leisure time than they have ever had or enjoyed before. It depends upon the federal government whether or not this time will be used wisely. Unless there is direction from above-unless the United States can be organized for recreation as army camps were during the world war--the people, trained during the 1920's to play in an expensive way but now forced to employ leisure in simpler fashion, may do the government and them selves harm.
 Costly Pastimes Developed
 During prosperity, Americans bought automobiles and developed costly pastimes at high speed Now they must retrench even in their play, and unless they are taught how, many will stand on the street corners and worry about low wages, depression, radicalism and the same old communistic theories that they ignored before the depression.
 I would advocate that the MIRA draft the services of experts in methods of play and teach the people to enjoy themselves in wholesome, convenient, economical ways.
 Staggered Hours Problem
 Difficulties arise as soon as a whole nation is given leisure time Unless recreational hours are stag gered so that they do not come all at once during waek-ends, the playgrounds and amusement facil- 
 ities of the country will become choked.
 On the other hand, if leisure time is staggered. as in Russia, the religious habits of the nation are disrupted. That is only one of many similar problems.
 Possible repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment coupled with leisure, might bring America the European form of cafe recreation, if this country could become used to its slow tempo. In Paris, one sips a glass of beer all afternoon, while engaged in meditation and social intercourse. This country has be- come habituated to drinking for the effect, and people fear to sit

 Georgie's heart missed a beat; she knew what was coming.

 "Um." Nelly nodded. He's on his way home. Didn't you know?"
 Georgie shook her head; she could find no words.
 T heard her telling one of her young men," Nelly said with dis dain. Said it was nuisance, and that she didn't want him hanging round her"

 Hobby Development Uurged
 Developments of hobbies such as gardening. mechanical work, danc- ing and the many artistic and scientific avenues for creative en- deavor should be encouraged, as they give the American profit as well as pleasure.
 In other words, the American must be taught to abandon the motorboat for the cheaper canoe, to become player instead of an on- locker, and to use his leisure so that his body and mind will be strengthened and refreshed, rather than for the costly and more or less stultifying time killers with which he has diverted himself in the past.

REBELS Of CUBA
HOPEFOR j. s.
NEW DEAL
NEW YORK. April ~ N.N.SJ.
"A new deal for Cuba"


That's the specific aim of the
conclave of Cuba's revolutionary
leaders now in progress in New
York city, according to their
spokesman, DR.. Carlos de la
Tore, former president of Ha-
vana University and former
mayor of Havana.
DR.. De la Tore Is presiding
over the junta meetings of six
Cuban political parties which are
now acting in concert in a move
ment to bring about an end to
the regime of President Gerardo
Machado.
Program Indefinite
No definite plan Of action has
as yet been formulated, DR.. De la
Tore said today.
But, he indicated, the revolu-
tionary leaders are switching their
policy somewhat in the Cuban
crisis in the belief that the United
States Government may soon
bring about the new deal in
Cuba"
Talk of violence is being soft
pedaled. Instead of advocating
the overthrow of Machado by
force of arms, the revolutionary
leaders are talking of peaceful
means of effecting his removal.
Revolution does not neceS-
Sarily mean revolution by force"
DR.. de Ia Tore thus expressed
himself.
The revolutionary leaders are
paying strict attention to the
attitude Of the Roosevelt Admin
istration toward Cuba, believing a
change in American policy is
imminent.
De la Tore said the revolu
tionary leaders have not and do
not intend to make any advances
to Sumner Welles, the newly ap-
pointed Ambassador to Cuba, who
will leave for Havana shortly.
They are watching Welles' policies
with the keenest interest, how.
ever. It would be "indiscreet" to
deal with Welles, according to
OS Id 4OI1e.
u. s. Bankers Hit
The revolutionary leaders ex-
press deep resentment toward Ger.
tain American bankers whom they
charge with having been helping
to maintain Machado in power.
De la Tore said:
Nothing can be done to help
Cuba economically or politically
until Machado is Ousted. He is
responsible for the reign Of ter.
rOr and blOOdshed and the ecO-
nOmic disaster which have be-
fallen our country"
De la Tore said that a certain
New York bank loaned Sc, 900
to Machado last year-$2, SOC, 900
in June and $3,50O,O0O in Decem.
Der. He charged that Machado
has used this money to maintain
q military dictatorship over the
Cuban people.

the Rev. Abraham Wigfall and John
B. Nutter, both Negroes, of Nanti-
coke, Md, was sentenced to serve ten
years in the Sussex county Jail. Car
ter on Thursday was tried for the
death of Nutter. Deputy Attorney
General Robert G. Houston entered

Edniel Johnson, Negro, living here,
pleaded guilty in court yesterday to
charge of carrying concealed a
pistol on February 25th, this year,
and was sentenced to seven years in
the Sussex county Jail.
Johnson was also charged with
numbering his wife, Lawrence, on
February 25. by shooting her in the
head. whlo at dance in the colored
school here. She died two days af-
ter being shot. Johnson was tried
for first degree murder at the April
term OF court, this year, but the jury
disagreed. He offered as his defense,
that the shooting was an accident,
that when he went to
the school after his wife to get her
to so home with him, some one ran
into him, causing him to fall. He
only has one leg, having been so
severely injured in a cunning acci-
dent few years ago that it had to
be amputated. Johnson claimed that
he had his hand in his pocket at the
time and that the pistol was dis
charged when his crutch was knock
ed from under him and he fell. John
son already has served about eight
months in prison, so the court gave
him the maximum sentence of seven
years for carrying concealed the pis-
tol and the murder charge against
him was dropped.

When comp'ny comes to our home

Us children are so well behaved
We don't talk back nor call
Each other names, but always say,
"Yes, ma'am," and THANK you,
sir"
And ma seems like stranger, most
-pa's so polite to her.
Ma fixes all the rocking chairs with
tides spick and span,
And makes the knives and forks and
things as shiny as she can.
We all put on our Sunday clothes
and look so nice and prim,
And pa, he shaves so clean and
smooth you'd hardly know twas
him!
Before we go to dinner ma she looks
around to see
If everything is all fixed up the way
it ought to be.
She calls pa to the kitchen, where
she shows him all the stuff
And says how much to give each one
SOS there will be enough.
And then we take our places and we
sit up nice and straight,
And none of us can touch a thing
but just keep still and wait
For pa to give us something good,
and say, oh, Jimmy!

lGOMfHHed from FHSt FdytA
can be made. $50 far, however, Mr..
dupont has made no official ruling
in the matter, Mr., Taylor said.
At present, Delaware has prac-
tically no supply of acceptable liquor
that would be legally available for
sale under the Liquor Control Act.
Most of the genuine bonded whiskey
in stock here is held by druggists
who would not be able to release it
except as prescribed by physicians,
even after repeal.
Thus, if no arrangement is made
for providing a supply to meet the
demand upon the advent to repeal,
it is inevitable there will be delay
in starting regular sales of liquor,
just as there was delay in starting
the sale of beer.
With increasing inquiries as to the
probable price of liquor, the price
situation is still somewhat unclari-
fed. However, it was stated by one
official at the office of the State
Liquor Commission yesterday, that
the best grade of bonded liquor was
quoted at $64.30 a case, including
both State and Federal taxes.
At this rate, the price for the
highest grade of American bonded
whiskey would be about So pint,
when the prices on other grades
scaled down to about $1.50 a pint.
The latter price is currently being
quoted on the grade of liquor which
before prohibition was referred to
as "skats."
This is mixture of about an
ounce Of bonded rye whiskey to a
pint of alcohol, prune juice, sherry
wine and water. 1t is a grade of
liquor not considered unpalatable by
veteran drinkers and which, it is
generally agreed, is much better
than the average whiskey customar-
lily dispensed by bootleggers at much
higher prices.
Rye
Good grades of Canadian rye,
which traditionally is less expensive
and of less quality than the Amer
ican variety, are expected to retail
at around 50 a pint.
One of the chief difficulties with
which the State Liquor Commission
will have to contend, it was pointed
put, will be efforts of bootleggers to
purchase legally the best grades of
rye, cut them and undersell legiti-
mate dispensers. a7.-i------ -----'-'=-----
Drastic action by Mr.. dupont
against these bootleggers, however,
is expected to keep their number |
iown.
