From time to time much has been
written denouncing youth for lack
of respect to elders. One wonders if
those writer's realize that there are
few elders to respect.
Maturity everywhere today is at
such discredit that youth must be
careful whom it respects, for fear of
offending the respected. The mature
parent Of today seems to be highly
complimented by the words, why!
one never would take you to be

have not been able to become a
good speaker. There are many rea-
sons. I'm too jittery. I have nei-

In the last year or so it has come

causes seem singularly kind in suf-

But I was up in Harlem the other
night to speak on the Scottsboro
case at the Abyssinia Baptist church

wanted to say and I said it, and
what I said I meant.
The audience sounded responsive.

The story is that of a young
Englishman engaged to a German

that her family belongs to a

She takes him to her home and,
still unable to tell him about it,
leaves him to see for himself. He

that he was a nudiSt, and the tea
is in his honor.

Virus of Sleeping Sickness
Found by Woman Doctor

ST. LOUIS, Sept. IL G.N.S0
The infinitesimal virus which had
defied detection by the army of
medical experts waging a scien-
tific battle against the epidemic
of sleeping sickness has surren.
dered before the laboratory often
sive of a woman physician, it de-
veloped today.
DR.. Margaret G. Smith, assist
ant professor of pathology at
Washington University Medical
School, has discovered evidence
pointing distinctly to the presence
of a virus, or germ, in the bodies
Of encephalitis victims. it was an
nounced at a symposium Of medl-
cal experts here.
Character in Doubt
A virus was defined as "an ele-
ment which is an agent for COM
municating infection of infectious
disease" 1t may be germ, prod
uct of a germ, or of unknown
character.
The experiment. DR.. McCordock
revealed, was made two days ago.
Further experiments of the same
nature have given the same re-
suits, the physician said. He
stated that DR.. Smith has fur
nished the first scientific proof of
the presence of the virus, which
has long been suspected as being
responsible for the unusual en-
cephalitis malady.
The Washington times., 1933-09-02

The cause of sleeping sickness
is not isolated by discovery Of the
virus, DR.. McCordock explained,
but the search has been mar
rowed.
Elders Hardest Hit
Among the revelations regard
ing the encephalitis epidemic
here, made by experts engaged in
study of the disease, were that
the malady usually attacks per-
sons of more advanced years and
is more fatal to patients of this
class.
DR.. Joseph Bredeck, st. Louis
health commissioner, advised the
stunning of mosquitoes. which he
said are still being studied as pos
Sible carriers of the disease. The
health commissioner pointed out
that in only three or four in
stances in the more than 400
cases reported in st. Louis and
st. Louis county has more than
one person in the same family
contracted the disease. He added:
"This leads us to the cOnclu-
sions that the disease is not
contagious and that it is SIM
liar epidemiOlOgically to infan-
tile paralysis"
Three more deaths from the
malady were reported today,
bringing the fatality list from
the disease to SO.

YOUTHS To HEAR
ROOSEVELT SON

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 2
G.N.SO.-With the strife which
marked the first two days of the
first national convention of Young
Democratic Clubs of America here
apparently forgotten, young Dem
ocracy today was to hear James
Roosevelt, son of the President
and treasurer Of the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived
in Kansas City last night and
were given a vociferous welcome
when taken to convention hall.
The revolt of the youthful dele
gates, which yesterday resulted in
a revision of the set program to
permit greater activities by the
delegates, apparently reached its
peak late yesterday when John M.
Holzworth, one of the leaders in
the rebellion, was expelled from
the convention on the ground that
he ran for U. S. Representative
from New York three years ago
on the Republican ticket.
Holzworth, who entered the
convention as a delegate from
Alaska, declared his chief inter
est in politics was to promote the
conservation of wild life in Alaska,
where he has spent many years
in the interest of geological So

Most Embarrassing
They have on no clothes. The
young Englishman is much en-
barrassed. He pleads with them
to leave quickly before some one
comes in and sees them. They,
having been told by their sister
that he is "one of them" are
unable to understand his nervous
ness.

cap and little apron, nothing else.
The Englishman can't believe his
eyes. The brothers hurry off to

for tea and the unhappy English
youth is further distressed by
the spectacle Of his fiancee gone
"starko."

He is convinced momentarily
that he himself has gone stark
mad. The girl tells him that

Wholesale prices already are

Consumer protection clauses

carefully the code-making process.
The boards authority, Keezer
said, does not extend to policing
It can only determine and report
upon fair prices, but some method
of enforcement will be considered
when the group meets next
Wednesday.
Efforts to fix prices apparently
are being made by so-called COM

pendent firms submitted identical
bids, all of which were we'll above
the prices the firms were asking
before the code became effective.

REP, BECK SAYS
CONSTITUTION
IS DOOMED
Being Torn Apart and People
Don't Care, Pennsylvania
Tells Maryland Bar

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 2
GN.SO.-The Constitution Of the
United States is being torn apart
at growing speed and Americans
do not care, James M. Beck, Of
Philadelphia, told the Maryland
Bar Association here today.
The Pennsylvania Representa-
tive said that at the present rate
Of destruction, another so years
may see "cureless ruin" Of the
whole structure. He declared:
"It is as bad for a nation as
for an individual to lead a
double life. Our nation is now
leading such a life. 1t is guilty
Of the hypocritical pretenSion
of adhearing to the COnstitu-
tion as a sacred and binding
compact, and simultaneously ig-
noring in practice its basic
theories.
PLEADS FOR HONESTY
"Whatever our future form
of government may be, at
least let us be honest with our
selves"
Beck explained that while he
had intended to discuss constitu.
tional aspects of the Federal
emergency measures, he found
that subject too delicate. He
said:
"I should not wish to have It
felt that / spoke in spirit Of
narrow partisanship. L speak
not as a Republican Congress
man, but as lawyer to lawyers.
"The theory held by the
largest group of lawyers in Con-
greSs in adopting the emergency
measures amounted, in effect,
to saying that the only way to
save the Constitution was to de-
strOy it. To them it was
doomed to destruction unless
temporary measures could be
adopted without reference to
the constitutional powers Of
Congress.
Gan overwhelming majority
of the American people do not
really care whether the COnStl'
tuition has been violated"
Criticizes Farm Act
Representative Beck pointed
out that the Boston tea party
start Of the Revolutionary War;
was a revolt against taxation with
oft representation. He added:
To-day we find that the Sec
retary of Agriculture can even
impose tariff duty upon i'm
ports whenever he thinks it nee
eSsary to protect the professors,
whose cost of production is
raised by the processing tax.
"Thus the head of depart
ment can impose tax or refuse
to impose it, and determine the
amount. He can select the vic
tins of the levy. Having col
lected from one class, he can
turn it over as he thinks best, to
growers of wheat and cotton,
under the conditions that he
prescribes."

SCHOOL CHANGE.
PROTESTED

A delegation of aroused mothers
protested bitterly to Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph yesterday
after they learned that the ele-
mentary grades at the johnson
School, Hyatt Place and Lamont
Street, would be abolished and
moved to distant schools.
The mothers claimed that it
would be too dangerous for their
children to cross heavy traffic
lanes of Mt. Pleasant to attend
their classes.
A petition, signed by los moth
erS, denounced the action of the
school board as unwarranted and
arbitrary, and protested against
any change in the set-up at the
johnson School.
Representative Randolph stated
that the mothers had presented
a reasonable case against the
proposed change, and he sum
moned DR.. Hayden johnson, head
of the school board for an ex-
PLANTATION of the proposed
change.
The reason for the abolishment
of the elementary grades at the
johnson School was for the pur-
pose of making an annex to the
Powell Junior High School, di-
rectly adjoining it. Elementary
students would then have to at
tend Bancroft, Raymond, Hub
bard and Cook Schools.
