LEWES SEWING CLUB

The Lewes Sewing Club met at
the home of Louise Vaughn. Satur-
day afternoon with fifteen members
present. The meeting was called
to order by the newly elected presi-
dent. Julia Bryan, and the minutes
read by the secretary. Thelma Lank.
A demonstration in framing pictures
was given. and a number of girls
framed pictures for their bedrooms.
The use of paspartout enables one
to frame pictures at almost no ex-
pense. and many lovely print of a
fine picture can be protected i'm this
way. Many picture could be more
appropriately framed in paspartout
than in gaudy. conspicuous frames.
The frame should be the least con-
spicuous thing about the picture.
The members of the club decided to
hold the next meeting the second
Friday in June. 1t is thought that
by that time all rooms can be COM
pleted, and the club pins awarded.
After the meeting. it is planned to
have a picnic supper at RehObOth.

pleased to welcome Clara and Eliz-
abeth Graves back
The club members all over Sus-
sex County will be interested to
hear that Jake" Moore with the
11th Signal Co.. of Hawaii. is now
Corporal Moore. Pretty quick work.
II looks as IL Jake's army record
would equal his club record.

DR.. Ezekiel
Sees Food
ApRnH

Fears that there would be a
severe shortage of food products
during the coming winter as a
result of the drought were allayed
today by DR.. Mordecai Ezekiel,
economic advisor to the Secretary
of Agriculture, in an address
opening the seventeenth annual
meeting of the American Dietetic
Association at the Mayflower
Hotel.
DR.. Ezekiel told the 400 dele
gates to the convention that
there will be mo alarming short
age" in vegetables, although the
meat supp Y will be curtailed.
The shortage in meats, he said,
will probably send the prices up
during next spring and winter.
Miss Marjorie Heseltine, nutri.
tionistS for the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration, out
lined to the convention the
spheres in which dietitians and
nutritionists may help in the
administration of relief in rural
Mobilization programs.
The convention, which will be
addressed by outstanding dietary
experts from all over the coun.
try. will be concluded Thursday
night.

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN
BONES"
The football season is on
again, and from the way those
boys are tackIing each other it
looks like they're determined
to get their letter. either on
their sweaters or their tomb
stones.
After seeing them pile on the
fellow with the ball, it appears
as though they were trying to
make a mountain out of mole
skin.
The only trouble with foot
ball is, that you're very apt to
get athletes foot" in the neck.
so REMEMBER
Sing a song of football
Drink a pint of rye
They try to knock your teeth
out
And sock you in the eye
So cheer for Alma Malta
And sip a toast Of wine
Be sorry for the good old team
All they get iS-IOdine.

BUS PURCHASE
HOLDS P. j. c.
ATTENTION
Peoples Counsel Attacks Deal
Defended by Pres. Hanna
As Benefit to Capital

Peoples Counsel w. A. Roberts
attacked and President John H.
Hanna defended the proposed
purchase of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company by the Capital
Transit Company for $847 900 at
the opening of the public hearing
staged today by the Public Utll1-
ties Commission.
Mr.. Roberts repeated his for
mer statement that the price Is
too high and recommended that
the commission look into the re-
lationship between the two COM
panies, their owners and inter
locking directorships, if any. be-
fore going forward with the hear
ing.
Scents Harley Profit
He charged that Harley P. Will
son, owner of the washington
Transit Company stock, is a dl-
rector of the North American
Company which owns the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany, which in turn owns the Pc,
tomac Electric Company, ana
asked that the commission de-
termine whether or not the pro-
posed sale is to reimburse Mr..
Harley or someone else for eX'
penses incurred prior to or dur
ing the preliminaries leading 10
the recent street car merger.
Mr.. Hanna's opening statement
Immediately following was in the
nature of a practical transporta-
ton answer to criticism against
the unification of the two sys,
TENS. He defended the proposed
financial deals by stating that a
unified system would give so
much better service as to I'M
prove. rather than hurt, the H.
nancial situation of the Capital
Transit Company.
will Answer Critics
He also dec AIRED that he would
answer critics of the deal later
by introducing an analysis OF the
Washington Transit Company by
Prof. Albert Richey, widely known
financial and economic authority
of Worcester Polytechnic 1nsti-
tute, Worcester, Mass.
He said the unification would
do away with competing lines
downtown and aid in untangling
the traffic snarl. He favored a
universal interchange of trans
fers between the two system,
after the proposed purchase had
become effective.

HADASSAH FUND
To AID SCHOOL
CHILDREN
Convention Delegates Provide
for Palestine Lunches;
Convention Meets Here

More than $1,000 was raised
today for the Hadassah school
luncheons fund by delegates at
the twentieth annual convention
of Hadassah, the women's Zion
list organization, of America, now
holding it's three-day convention
at the Wardman Park Hotel. The
delegates attended a typical Pales-
tinian luncheon, a duplicate OF
one of the meals served by the
Palestine school children.
One hundred mattresses, all
members of the local chapter of
Hadassah, wearing uniforms sim
liar to those the Hadassah
nurses wear in Palestine, served
the meal.
For $4,000 Children
The luncheon cost each dele
gate SO cents. Ninety cents from
each delegate will go to the
school luncheon fund and the
other 9 cents is being used to
defray the cost of the luncheon.
The food for the meal was con-
tributed by the Washington
Hadassah chapter.
Mrs. Herman Shulman, of New
York city, chairman of the PaleS
tine school luncheons, who spoke
at the affair, told the delegates
about the school luncheon project
in Palestine. The lunches are
planned, cooked, and served by
the Palestine school children,
through the Hadassah school
luncheon fund. Mrs. Shulman
said educators and other promi-
nent persons in Palestine want
the Hadassah school luncheon
work to include all the children
in Palestine, who number about
$4,000. At present the funds pro-
vide for only $500.
Pupils Learn Nutrition
Stressing the educational value
of these school luncheons, Mrs.
Shulman said:
"The Importance of this
luncheon project lies not alone
in providing food for mall
nOurished children but in be-
ing q tremendous vehicle for
the spread of nutritiOnal edu-
cation in a country where primi-
tive living still abounds.
"The children are the best
means for spreading a knOwl-
edge of diet and food values
among their parents. The
school luncheOnS also provide
a means of migrating the TO-
900 recently arrived German
children into the life of the
country"
She appealed for support of
the expansion program, which
she said would be put into effect
as soon as additional funds are
collected.
At this afternoons session the
chairmen of the various national
committees made their annual
reports. The speakers included
Mrs. Shulman, chairman of the
Palestine school luncheons; Mrs
Jacob Grossman, chairman OF
the infant welfare committee
Mrs. A. H. Fromenson, chairman
of the Palestine supplies commit.
tee; Miss Eudice Elkind, chairman
of the Jewish national fund com,
