Political Exigencies

The people Of Puerto Rico
are well aware that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Gore is en-
tirely political-in the nature
of a reward for political Serv-
ice rendered. They know that
this appointment was not rec
commended by those who had
at heart the welfare OF Puerto
Rico. This is the reason why
protests against the appoint
ment are still made in spite OF
the fact that the Roosevelt
Administration is striving to
pour oil on the troubled waters
by offering Puerto Rico assist
ance toward economic relief
and recovery.
If Puerto Rico were a State
of the Union, her Senators and
Representatives in Congress
would have something to say
about the selection of her Fed
eral officials.
But Puerto Rico is dependent
upon the President for the kind
of Governor she gets. And in
the case Of Mr.. Gore, his ap-
pointment appears to have been
dictated by the exigencieS OF
Democratic politics rather than
by the needs of Puerto Rico.
The result is that the people
of Puerto Rico resent the use
of their chief office for political
purposes, and the Administra-
ton loses much more in prestige

A word to middle-aged women:
Gray hair and wrinkles do
not provide a very good back
ground for extremes in dress
and coiffure, face coloring and
a too modern hat.
The markings of age and the
years that have passed make
your present life a tragedy, and
you want to fight the inroadS
Of nature.
You are willing to adopt any
means that promises to make
you look younger and prettier.
But very often you find the
much advertised beauty measure
makes you appear ridiculous
rather than younger.
Persons who might not other
wise think of or remark about
your age and your wrinkles al
lude pretty generally to your
inappropriate costumes and
general get-up.
OF course it is well to keep
young in spirit, and this will do
much to retain your popularity,
unless it's carried too far.
Trying to make a girliSh fig
ure out of a middle-aged form
only emphasizes the facts you
wish to hide.

Plan Effort to Secure Entire
Johnson Building for
Schools Use.

Efforts to secure the entire johnson
elementary School Building as an an

ISOLATION.
At present two class rooms in the
johnson School are being used to ac-
commodate kindergarten and first-grade
children while the remaining rooms
have been allocated to the use of the
junior high school. It originally was
planned to transfer the entire Johnson
building to the junior high school. but
vigorous protest by parents OF smaller
children resulted in the institution OF
a compromise by the School Board.
which ordered two rooms held Tor the
younger children.
Parents Protest CrOwding.
The Powell Junior High School Par
ent-Teacher Association, however, now
protests that the pupils In that schol
are so crowded that some OF them have
to sit on makeshift benches while an
abundance of room exists in the new
addition to the Bancroft School. which
was designed to accommodate the chill
dren from the johnson Building when
that school was turned over to the
Powell. The association contends that
the Powell Junior High School has i'm
mediate need Of the two rooms in the
Johnson School now used by the small
classes of young children. They argue
further that the sanitary facilities in
the johnson Building are in need OF ex-
tensive repairs and that the structure.
an old building. is generally Ill adapted
to use by very young pupils.
Facilities Are Modern.
The Bancroft's facilities, on the other
hand, are OF the most modern type in
every department and the transfer OF
the children now at johnson to that
building would work to their own ad-
vantage
Plans for the portest to the school
authorities will be completed this week.
School authorities meanwhile are

VENEZUELA DENIES
WEIGH CONTROVERSY

There has never been any diplomatic
controversy between the United States
and Venezuela regarding the 5-year-
old Irma Welch, who arrived in Wash
1ngton yesterday with her father after
q four-year separation, according to a
statement issued by the Venezuelan
legation here.
The legation statement takes issue
with one issued by the State Depart
ment here, which said, in announcing
that the little girl anu her father,
James E. WEIGH of Shreveport. La, had
been brought together through the ef-
forts of American Government officials,
and saying "the Welch case has been
before the department several years"
The Venezuelan statement, issued by
pr. Pedro NJ. Arcaya, Minister to the
United States, read:
There is not and never has been any
diplomatic controversy between the
government of Venezuela and that Of
the United States regarding Irma, the
daughter Of James E. WEIGH. She was
born out of wedlock and there have
been In the courts Of the State of Boil
var Of Venezuela several criminal and
civil suits between Welch and the
mother of his daughter on the question
OF the custody Of his child, which end
ed more than four years ago.
"The maternal grandfather Of Irma
agreed that she should be given to
WEIGH, but as he was absent from
Venezuela she was placed in the care
Of a friend OF his. who was appointed
by the court. WEIGH requested that she
be taken to Trinidad. where he received
her. 1t was his private affair, with
which the Venezuelan government had
nothing to do.
Regarding the alleged pecuniary
claim Of WEIGH for the few days he
was in jail during the course Of the
judicial proceedings above referred to,
no such claim has ever been presented
to the Venezuelan government

The answer Of District school au-
thorities to q petition filed by H. H
Entz to compel the admission Of his
children to the public schools despite
q dispute as to whether they have been
properly vaccinated was filed yesterday
In District Supreme Court.
The case had been set for hearing
this morning but was postponed until
the answer could be filed. The school
officials contend the children. Barbara
and David Entz, have not been duly
vaccinated. They admit the children
underwent the vaccipation last June,
but assert that inspection by school
physicians showed the vaccination was
unsuccessful.
Entz, who lives in Falls Church, Va,
contended in his petition that a bona
flde attempt at vaccination, even
though it is unsuccessful, complies with
the vaccination laws.
He is represented by Attorneys Daniel
8. Ring and James T. Crouch and
Walter NJ Bastian. The answer Of the
school officials was filed through Cor
poration Counsel William w. Bride and
his assistant. Francis H. Stephens. Entz
brought similar proceedings against
school officials last year. but his petition
was dismissed when it was shown he
had swabbed his children's arms with
iodine q few moments after the vaccine

WHILE WORLD PREoccUPIED JAPAN MOVES

While the world is engrossed with the abandon
of the gold standard by the United States and
the conference between President Roosevelt, Pre-
mier Macdonald and Herriot of France, the Japa-
nese are greeting the approaching spring with a
renewed offensive against the Chinese with the
great cities of Peiping and Tientsn as self-eviden

1t is is hard to realize in the swift rush of events
that so short while ago the Sino-Japanese diff
crlties the withdrawal of Japan from the League
of Nations should have been leading stories in tic
newspapers. But as Jap forces move on ineXorabIy
into China proper, erecting still another puppet
state, these new operations are as distant from the
Occidental mind they are geographically remote"
1t is impossible for the world at large even to
guess at the limit of Japanese ambition in China
It probably includes all the north portion of the
ancient empire For with the strategic occupation
of Manchuria even the Soviet Union is eliminated
as threat Japan barring real pressure from the
League Of Nations and the United States, seems
likely to obtain the definite ovcrlOrdship of the

Such pressure as may be exerted will, however,
necessarily be economic, or even simply moral
As to the latter the Japs entirely too practical
minded to be concerned in the least And with the
whole of the Far East to be exploited, economics

that conquest would be economically sclf-cOn-

The quality of the Japanese defiance of the
world in pursuit of their ends is either historic
audacity accompanied by rare luck, a calculated
taking advantage of the great nations now trying
desperately to save themselves and having no time
to save anyone else.
