one period, we know than every
goose is a swan and every maid
a queen. 1t is merely woman"
Whatever the age of married
couple, however, DR.. Coates be-
lieves that no woman should ever
neglect the home and natural du-
ties Of a wife and mother. despite
her calling or profession. Says
she:
81 don't feed my husband del
icatessen meals. 1 see to it
that he has plenty Of socks to
wear and that his buttons are
always properly sewed."
Mental Comrades
The seer said that the compan-
ionship with her husband was
largely mental and added:
"We always find conversa-
ton attractive. In fact, few
women in Washington can boast
that after three years of mar
riage, their husbands have never
evinced any desire to leave
home in the evenings"
But, Of course, says DR.. Coates
(and her young husband agrees)
what applies to one couple doesn't t
necessarily apply to another.
Young DeLoe, since their mar
riage, has been ordained in DR..
Coates faith and is now in
charge of the orders choir.

IN TAVERN
PROJECT
Court Holds Promoter of Plan
as Officials Complain
of Business Methods

Because the president and a
vice president of a tavern project
have jointly signed notes for
$500 and have had nothing to
say in it since, Norton Levin, Of
Hyattsville, named as the pro-
moter, yesterday was placed on
$4,000 bond pending a hearing
August 81 before Judge j. Chew
Sheriff in Prince Georges Police
Court.
The complaint, declaring a sus-
picion of fraud. was made out be-
fore Constable Campbell by
Claude M. Norton, of Capitol
Heights, president of the COM
pany. Harry w. Blunden, of Ber-
wyn, also signed the complaint.
The tavern is being built near
Hyattsville, Justice of the Peace

THREE SEEKING
PARTYPOST

The fight for craftsmanship of
the Democratic executive com
mittee in Arlington county, will
be a three -cornered affair, it ap-
peared today. The committee
will hold it's organization meeting
in Arlington Courthouse Monday
night.
William L. Bragg, secretary to
Representative P. H. Drury, Of
Virginia, present chairman, who
has held the post for the past 10
years, is a candidate for re-
election.
Opposing him are two other
members, Charles FenWick Of
Falls Church and Emory Hosmer
of Arlington.
Followers of Fenwick claim he
is a live wire and that under his
control the committee would re-
gain it's power, now relegated,
they claim, to various county Off
cials.
Hosmer, an attorney, has been
long active on the committee and
is said to have considerable
strength.

HOLDERS
EASING up
SAYSJONES
Mortgages Now Volunteer to
Hold Up Foreclosures on
Homes in District

Mortgage holders are volun-
tarily holding up foreclosure pro-
ceedingS on oWner-occupied homes
and much of the worry has been
eliminated from administration Of
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton work in the District, Charles
A. Jones, branch manager, said
today.
Instead of the local office call
ing mortgage holders asking that
proceedings be held up until the
corporation can decide what ac-
ton it will be able to take, the
mortgages now are notifying the
home owner direct that nothing
will be done until the corporation
makes known its decision on an
application for a loan.
But the one fly in the oint-
ment is the lack of information
concerning the Treasury's atti-
tude toward the corporations
bonds and what percentage Of
them can be accepted by build
ing and loan associations.

INVESTIGATORS
To BE ADDED

Employment of additional De-
partment of Justice agents to aid
in the nations gigantic drive
against racketeering and other
forms of crime was intimated
today by department officials.
Although no definite informa-
ton was obtainable, it was limited
that the department probably
would need a number of agents
to augment the present staff.
In a recent radio address, JOS
eph B. keenan,, special assistant
to the Attorney General in charge
cf racketeering, declared that
such additional operatives would
be named.
Other officials said they had
heard of such plans but that
everything depends on Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings, who
is expected to return to Washing
ton next week.
The division Of investigation in
the department has taken on ad-
ditional investigatory duties since
the Prohibition Bureau was placed
under it's Jurisdiction.
With these added functions and
with the concentrated drive on
racketeering, it is expected that
the additional operatives will be
placed in the investigation divi-
sion.

of Sunday movies if the mayor

plan to petition the municipal
bodies of the other metropolitan
towns in Prince Georges county

shows gained impetus recently
when the attorney general for
Maryland decided that the ques-

should be held on the first day
of the week was entirely up to
the individual towns.
Other points where movie
owners desire to run their per-
formances on Sunday are Mt.

Most of the opposition to the
shows, it was said, comes from
the churchmen of the three
towns.

&orney for the showmen, will pre-
sent the petition to the council.

T. Meredith, of Boonton, N. j,
DR.. Wetmore said:
81 was very much amused
when Captain Meredith told me
he was an aviator and inter-
ested in falcOnry. But, perhaps
that is natural, being interested
in things that fly through the
air.
But, 1 was further amused
when Captain Meredith told me
that he had flown all the way
to Canada to get a certain kind
of hawk to train. He returned
with two small birds he had
taken from a nest. They were
pigeon hawks. He had read a
story I wrote in a magazine
about hawks so that's why he
made the trip here to see me-"
DR.. Wetmore said he explained
to Captain Meredith that the
hawks must be treated almost like
human beings insofar as associ-
alton is concerned. Whereupon
the aviator reached in a small bas-
ket and producing the baby
hawks, said:

Beer, Prosperity and Bunk

The beer talk always intrigues me.
Il once would have said interests
me-" but that is old stuff. It means
the same, but "intrigues" has it over
Interests" "like tent.") And here
is something 1 thought about when
l saw all the European bankruptcy
and beer, running neck and neck, and
yet heard the clamor in America for
beer as a panacea:
Why is Germany in trouble?
She has beer.
Why has England got it double?
She has beer.
Why is Belgium in distress?
Italy in such mess?
Why grow pesos less and less,
Where there's beer?
One would think there'd be no sor-
row
Where there's beer;
The millennium come tomorrow
Were there beer.
Yet the countries that have brought
US
To the brink where now you spot US
Raising bogies that have got us
All have beer!
I'd espouse that panacea,
Foamy beer;
I'd believe there would be heaven
here
Were there beer
But the grieving is the deepest
Where the stuff has been the cheap
est;
Road to solvency seems steepest
Where there's beer.
Were that brew the magic token
Potent beer;
Then that word should soon be
spoken
Over here.
But those frantic demonstrations
Of a lack of clothes and rations
In those beer-befuddled nations
Whoops, my dear!
