Ordinari- ly the week for the local CWA workers ended yesterday, but they were forced home during the day because of the snow and efforts were made today to give them 8 chance to catch up on their lost hours.
 Policemen were on the job in all sections of the city today warning property owners to clear and sand their walks.

SEE WHAT YOU
 ARE COMING TO

London, Feb 2.-(UP)-Dr Desi- derius Papp, noted German scien- list presented to the world to-day an unlove1y picture of mankind 5O0,O00 years from now.
 In his book on the future of the race--and there may be no future at all, since the doctor says humans will lose the battle against bugs -Dr Papp gave the following de- scription of the average citizen:
 He will be 10 feet tall and have X-ray eyes. His head will be high and massive, but bald as a por- celain bath-tub. His brain will be able to receive and transmit electromagnetic waves, and his eyes will see through things they weren't intended to see. But he will have long since lost the fight to giant mosquitoes and such, 50 what's the use anyway!

SEVEN PLANES
 WERE BURNED

 Islip, N. r., Feb 2. (UP)-Fire, which started while a mechanic was fueling plane, destroyed seven planes, the. hangar and machine shops to-day at Islip air. port.
 Officials said the blaze was dis covered during the fueling of a Li-con Airways ship preparing to take off on its scheduled morning flight to New Haven, oCnn.
 Three of the planes destroyed were owned by Athasca Airways, operators of the airport. Two others owned by Carl Pausewaung, of Sal- vile, were in the hangar at the time.
 William G. Buffers, traffic man. ager of Lo-con, said service would be maintained with the one ship now in Connecticut.

feet and states and. cities from $175,000, ,OO0 to s200, 100000.
 The $950, 000,000 bill emanating from the administration should provide sufficient funds to carry on federal relief work until next Jan uary "possibly two or threc months longer" Hopkins said.
 Hopkins indicated that if neces- sary the CWA would be continued flew weks longer" than May l., if there was delay in seasonal Lickup and PWA work. He also said that it was possible that the recent hour reductions in CWA work, might be adjusted.
 TT think 8 hours week is too small" he said, adding however that it was planned gradually to cut the number of men on the pay rolls until the CWA is terminated
 Hopkins estimated that federal aid to relatives of CWA workers who have died or been injured would cost $14,000,000. The tenta- tive draft of the bill provides that sCWA workers hereafter will not be entitled to such compensation.
 Discussing graft" and favoritism reports. he said that political in- terferencc has been difficulty, but ,I would not say 1t has been serious.
 Tt has nothing to do with any ore party" he testified, "I have had a lot of experience in New York. Upstate the democrats charge that the republicans are playing politics and the republicans in the cities say that the democrats are playing politics"
 Hopkins said that "far worse" than politics Is the fact that "a number of people are bounding our people to death trying to horn in on making q little money"

 Registrar Dillane also took the stand that he would not be justl- fled in showing the 1882 and 1855 voting lists to MT Pape until his co-worker. Democratic Registrar Henry OConnor is present, MT OConnor was absent at the time of Mir Pape's call.
 It was generally felt that the publisher had his two employees with him so as to use them as wit nesses when his demand for affl- davits or permission to peruse tho official records is finally granted. Tn the registrars office he asked for the list of new voters made in 1883 and was informed that the records were on file in the town clerks office.
 Pape and Stan Arrive
 Visiting the latter office, MT Pape, with his two assistants, asked Miss Egan for permission to see the 1883 list of "to be made" electors and he was readily &C., commodated. He stated that he merely wanted to know if he could see the record and was informed by Miss Egan that as the book is a matter of public record he could do so. He and his assistants did not go over the book but left, plan ming, it Is understood, to return later.
 Further demand on the regis trars for permission to peruse the 1882 and 1888 voting lists is to be made. it is expected. The Demo- crat some time ago exposed the fact that Mr Pape visited States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis, seek ing bench wnrI lnts for the regis trars. It. is understood that fur ther evidence was demanded by Attorney Lewis.
 Mir Pape has been especially in. terested In the 1882 election fin which Congressman E. w. Goss, republican, defeated Attorney Mar tin Gormley of Naugatuek in the congressional election. Attorney 0ormIey was the democratic nomi- neo.

WOMEN TO STUDY
LIQUOR SITUATION
Survey Looks Toward Ultimate
Revision of Laws in
District.

Looking toward ultimate revision
Of the liquor laws here, the Women's
Organization for District Of Columbia
Liquor Control will make study Of
the situation this Summer, it has
been announced by Mrs Henry Leon
ard, chairman. The study will seek
ways to promote temperance.
Convinced District citizens want
the bootlegger eliminated, lower liquor
taxes levied and a just liquor control
system carried out" Mrs. Leonard
said, "our organization has given
hearty support to existing laws,
but believes that continued study may
reveal ways to improve the act it
self. Our members are prepared to
do their part, particularly toward
making Washington a city Of tenn
perate drinking habits"
Legislative and research committees
have been appointed to conduct the
studies. Each group will make its
own analysis of the situation and re-
port next Fall.
The Legislative Committee will be
headed by Miss Elizabeth Harris, as
sisted by Mrs. Milton King and Mrs.
Greed Cox. Mrs. James F. Mitchell
is chairman of the research group,

BY ALINE IMAGINATION.

Then there was the nurse in "Life
Begins" the deserted wife in Silver
Dollar" or the poor frustrated fur
dealer in Fur Coats" Superflcially,
perhaps, any one of these three wom-
en- might be said to be "unsympa-
thetic." Nothing could be further
from the fact. If they are played
with any sort Of truth and with SIM
plicity, they are the sort of parts
which can take a firm hold upon the
sympathies of an audience. What one
needs to exercise that hold is feel
ing for the heart within the charac-
ter-a realization that, unattractive
or not in all externals, each Of those
women feels that she has just as much
capacity for happiness as the most
beautiful and desirable of her sisters.
1t is what happens to that capacity,
its fulflllment or the reverse, that
makes drama-drama that every one
can understand.
The young reporter the other day
seemed to feel that I had been un-
lucky in the roles assigned to me.
At least, that was the implication that
underlay his hesitancy.
Unlucky? Just the contrary I hon.
estly believe that in the wide variety
of characters intrusted to me I've
been one of the luckiest players in all
Hollywood.
In many screen characters it Is
hard to find heart. In spite of all
their defenses, each one Of the women
so far assigned to me has had one.
Without heart to reach somewhere
within the character, there is no hope
of building a real Characterization.
Very well. Have I been lucky or
haven't I?

AS matter of fact, people always
seem a little taken aback when tell
them I adore the parts play. "What?"
I can hear them saying to themselves.
"A grizzled grandmother? A forlorn,
unloved secretary? A woman past her
first youth, whose husband leaves her
for another woman, because the latter
is younger and more attractive?" The
last is my latest role.
But why the surprise? Apparently
they can't understand that the salts
faction of playing a character not
created in the ordinary mold far out
weighs any consideration of appear
ance. That is one thing that has
been wrong with the American screen
and the stage-for too long a time
people of talent have been told that
they must not fail to "look pretty"
Too many of them have believed it.
Roles that make real demand on
the creative talents of player. man
or woman, are usually not the pretty"
nor the "dress-up" roles. The un-
happy, the unwanted, the unappre-
ciated souls-they are the ones who
have real interest for the artist who
does not wish to fritter away career
in portraying self-satisfled, common
place or routine figures.
Take, for instance, the secretary I
played in THE Mouthpiece" year
or so ago. That girls devotion may
not have been recognized by the man
she loved, her employer. He may
have turned from her to an ingenue
face. But an audience sees through
such a woman's poor little pretenses
and defenses-sees through to her
great heart. That is, they do if the
actress is so lucky as to catch the
pulse of the character.

AGE NO HANDICAP
TO FAIR WORKERS
Survey Reveals Experience
Is Rewarded in PAY
Checks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Working women need have no great
fear of age, it appears from a report
on 2O,168 employed women just made
by the National Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Clubs.
Age and experience do gain their
rewards in the pay check, the report
shows, for business and professional
women.
Further, 1t shows the old chatter
about "women's fickle mind" must be
just masculine pleasantly, at least
in so far as the job is concerned.
More than one-fourth OF the 1850
women reporting on job histories had
held only one job. and more than
one-fifth had changed jobs only once.
Age is not such matter for worry
as it has seemed In recent years.
Earnings increase with the years in
this group of trained and semi
trained women.
Older Women Best Paid.
Only one out of IS women who
were under 80 years old were earn
ing between $4,000 and $2,500. But
one in every five Of the women more
than 40 were earning between the
two amounts.
Comparing the women under 40
and those over so, the figures show
that salaries keep on jumping with
the years up to about SIS.
Even the less successful women be-
tween so and SIS years old were earn
ing more than their counterparts in
the twenties, fact which seems to
show that experience is a more valu-
able possession for the worker than
youth, other factors being equal.
There have been some difficulties
over age, however. OF 1885 women,
per cent said they had suffered
some discrimination because of their
age. The greatest numbers OF these
we're employed in clerical work, teach
ing or selling.
Various occupations seem to employ
different age groups. The older the
age group becomes, the larger becomes
the proportion of women engaged in
some professions. The younger women
are in the majority in transportation
and communication and in clerical
work.
Evening star., 1934-05-24

such workers being between 40 and
so years old.
Independence gives the greatest
monetary rewards, too. None Of the
salaried workers reporting were earn
ing $1,000 or more, but large group
of the independent ones were.
AS the women earn more they show
a greater tendency to establish their
own homes. More than so per cent
of the women earning $4,000 or more
have their own homes. But, in all
the salary groups. the largest proper
ton are living with parents or rela-
tives and sharing the expenses of the
home. The number of women living
at home without any expenses is no
ticeably small in all groups.
College education seems to pay in
a comfortably practical manner. The
average earning of the women with
only grade school education was
