TUGWE[L BLAMED
BY CONTRACTORS
Protest Against Use Of Day
Labor at BeltsviIIe Is
Disclosed.

Blame for the failure Of construc-
ton work on the Governments ex-
perimental farm ct Beltsville, Nd,
was charged today to DR.. Rexford
Guy TugweI, Undersecretary of Agri-
culture, by the Associated General
Contractors Of America.
While Secretary Ickes was investi-
eating the spending Of 1921 80 in
p. w. A. funds in building the animal
husbandry section Of the farm the
contractors made public O. protest
filed with Department of Agriculture
omcials on May 8 last against the
use Of the day-labor method In the
construction Of buildings ut Belts
vile. The contractors warned that
the method would result in failure
and that the buildings could be con-
structed more cheaply and efnciently
by private contractors.
To this protest DR.. Tugwell. who
was Acting Secretary Of Agriculture
at the time, insisted that the Gov
ernment itself was well able to erect
certain Of the buildings.
Work Suspended.
Secretary lckes has refused to ad-
vance further funds for the COM
pletion Of buildings ct Beltsville
pending an investigation into the
way the money was spent. Work,
meanwhile, has been suspended ON
two large laboratory buildings and .
number Of barns and other animal
houses for lacks Of funds. It was said
that about $500. 900 additional Is need
ed to complete the work.
The contractors, 1t was learned to-
day, are preparing to release series
Of letters to and from Agriculture De-
partment oficials in connection with
their protests. These letters, it was
said, win have an important bearing
ON the report which Ickes' investiga-
tors soon are to make to the special
Public Works Board.
Edward J. Harding, managing d.
rector of the contractors, sent letters
to Secretary Henry A. Wallace and
to Undersecretary Tugweu early in

cieS.
Miss MCGUIRE, an experienced social
worker recently appointed to a post in
the Juvenile Court, charged that in
the end it will cost the taxpayer two
or three times as much if private or
public relief agencies do not realize
and meet now the needs Of families
having children Of school age. She
pointed out that under the present
set-up many mothers are going to
work to "Scrape up few pennies" to
add to the inadequate incomes of the
fathers, while the children are running
the streets and ending up in the
Juvenile Court, finally being placed in
institutions. She said it wound cost
much less now to take care of the
needs of such families and allow the
mothers to remain at home and take
care of the children than to permit
the youngsters to run wild and even
tually end up in court.
Savin asked the support Of the
foundation behind the program Of the
Council of Social Agencies and held
out hope that with the appointment
of a new health officer for the District
the physical condition Of the under
privileged children probably would be
bettered greatly.

A committee Of five was ready To-Day
N start working out a system whereby
the needs Of underprivlleged cnlloren
I'm the public schools can be determined
end met either by private or puoNc
relief agencies.
The committee was appointed late
Yesterday at a meeting sponsored by
the Phoebe Hearst Parent Teacher
Foundation and held at the nome OF
Mrs Eleanor Patterson, one OF the
trustees of the foundation.
The group is composed Of Mrs. JOS
eph Saunders, chairman OF the poaro
of trustees of the foundation; MRS.
Louis Castell, secretary; William h.
Savin of the Family Service Associa-
ton formerly the Associated Charl-
ties); Miss Selma Borchardt and MISS
Louise MCGUIRE of the Juvenile Court.
Motion by Miss Borchardt.
APPOINTMENT of the committee was
on motion of Miss Borchardt, VINO
said it was necessary that some group
be formed to:
/, Coordinate the activities Of all
the various relief and social service
agencies in the interest OF better care
OF children of needy families.
2. Explore the agencies which are
not affiliated with the Community
Chest, but which do certain types OF
social welfare work, to determine how
they fit in the picture and what aid
may be expected of them in so far as
needy school children are concerned.
3. Get behind the health and fol-
low-up program" TO insure better med
ical and dental care for needy children.
4. Work out plans for establishment
Of confidential files on children in need
in each school so an adequate record
may be available and a complete list
kept of al the children who do need
assistance Of one kind or another.
5. See to 1t that if private agencies
cannot handle certain cases. that
they be referred to the emergency
relief for prompt attention.
Immediate Relief Needed.
Mrs. Saunders, who acted as chair
man during the conference Of social
agency representatives, told the
gathering the great need is for more
immediate reIle1 1Or the neeQy cNll-
dren attending the public schools. "
She recalled that since the foundation
began aiding these children last
March. 90 pupils have been fully
, clothed, have been tutored to enable
them to catch up with their school
work. have been supplied with very
much needed eyeglasses, 4 have been
furnished carfare to get to school and
l32 have been given dental care.
We now want to know just what
the other organizations are doing so
that all work can be co-ordinated, "
she said. I'VE want to make the
foundation a sort of clearing house,
through which the needs of the chill
dren can be met"
Children of so-called 'borderline'
families-families who are not on the
relief rolls, but whose incomes actually
are insufficient to enable them prop
erly to care for their offspring-were
the center of attention of the confer
ence Many of these families, it was
pointed out, are too proud to solicit
relief funds. yet it is imperative that
some assistance be rendered in order
that their children may be brought up
properly.

Confidence Held Important.

Miss Borchardt and Miss MCGUIRE
stressed the Importance Of the abso-
lutte confidence in which the plight Of
children of this type Of family should
be held by the teachers. They agreed
that if the confidence of such children
were violated, the pupils would think
they were being turned around" by
their own teachers and it would dwarf
their whole outlook on life.
Shoes, overshoes, clothing and den-
tai and medical care were listed as
the most important needs of hundreds
of children throughout the entire pub
lie school system. These needs must
be met Immediately, the conferees
agreed, and the only way to do it is

The four of spades has been called Ned

"Old Frizzle" was the derisive name applied
to the ace of spades by early English card
players. 1t was the duty tax card of the
deck; so you see that the present tax Of 10
cents per deck, which Uncle Sam collects, an
tedates our various modern amusement and
nuisance taxes.
For more than 800 years card players have.
most of the time, been paying some form of
excise.
Both France and England collected taxes on
the manufacture, sale or importation of cards.
In w. Gurney Benham's interesting history On
playing cards he tells of court records of forg-
ing and counterfeiting, with several examples
Of punishment
We read of q case where Firmin ST. Paul.
a master cardmaker of Paris. who had become
bankrupt in It'll, some years later de-
tected as having established q secret factory.
He was put in the pillory branded with a red
hot iron on the right shoulder with the letters
G and L, and chained in the galleys.
The last execution for forgery in England
was in 1929. Son afterward the law SUBJ
stituted penal servitude for a term of years, or
even 1OF lie. Otncr IOrmS OF punishment 1Or

During the time of Oliver Cromwell, coffee
houses and playing cards were more plentiful
than newspapers. and so the royalists hit upon
the happy plan of poking fun at the roundheads
by caricaturing their activities on a pack Of
cards. A few Of these have been preserved in
museums and are known as Rump Parliament
cards.
BY leaving them at tavern or coffee house,
to be used instead of the usual pack their fame
was spread by all sorts and conditions of play
ers. They were the cartons and funnies Of
the seventeenth century, and an excellent
means Of passing on political propaganda.

There were games of SKILL such as tarot
and games of chance like Lansquenet, which
took its name from Landsknecht or foot soldier.
Trapola. originally Venetian game was a
favorite said to be played by the Saracen SOL
diers, fighting as mercenaries of the Pope at
the siege Of Viterbo in 1879.
BY this time cards well established
Brother Johannes. writing in the monastery at
Brefeld in 1877, describes pack Of So cards
of four suits with three court cards and 10
numerals each, and tells how men played with
them in one way and another. He says that
this game IS Of advantage to noblemen and to
others. If they play it courteously and without
money, and ends by saying "In this game the
state of the world and our own times and
modern ways are described and symbOlized
perfectly"
The possibilities of cards as a means of men,
tai training probably first occurred to Thomas
Murner harassed monk. teaching logic in
the University of Cracow as long ago as 1907.
The textbook used at the time was written
by Spanish friar and the classes of the good
brother did not make the desired progress And
SO he devised q pack Of cards, whereby the
German youths learned their lessons with such
dispatch and exactness that the master was &C
cused of witchcraft and brought before the
tribunal. 1t was not until he had shown the
curious cards and explained his plan that he
exonerated.
Much of the tradition with cards Is of French
origin, not only the old symbolism Of the suits,
but many of the pretty stories that have come
down to us associating characters of history
with individual cards; such as the four kings
of the deck representing David. Alexander.
Caesar and Charles the Great, the monarchies
of the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans and the
Franks under Charlemagne. The four queens
represented Argine, Esther, Judith and Pallas.
which were the types of good birth. piety, forti-
tude and wisdom. Also the knaves had one
more sobriquets.
AVER 30 of the cards of the deck have
names. one of the best known and most
interesting of which is the Curse of Scotland"
Some old whist players have explained that
Queen Elizabeth of England was playing cards
when she determined upon the execution of
Mary. Queen of Scots, and wrote the death
warrant of Queen Mary on the nine of dia-
monds and ever since then these nine red pips
have been known the Course Of Scotland"
