Well, Be
j. DiMinger;s
Really Dead
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Dillinger is dead. He must
be dead. The Bureau of In
vestigation of: the Department
of Justice says so. But two
months ago Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings said in
Atlanta he was certain Dillinger
was dead.
It was then considered a
strange coincidence that Melvin
H. Purvis, No. / Federal investi-
gator in Chicago, should an
nounce the next day that he
also was certain Dillinger was
dead. Mr.. Purvis even went
searching for the bad mans
grave in Indiana.
j. Edgar Hoover, director of
investigation, Department of
Justice, is even surer, now, that
Dillinger actually is dead.

the mischief in which the three

tails of their pranks. If anything
Mildred, by right of her Is min
utes' seniority, is the leader.
Fool Their Friends
They are proud of the fact that
they look so much alike and take
a naughty delight in confusing
their friends. A friend of their
mother once asked Edith to ac
company her on a trip. Edith
who had other plans, persuaded
Elena to take her place and the
family friend never knew the diff
ference.
They are devoted to each other
and hope that their "close cooper
alton of three" never will be
broken. Their plan is to go into
motion pictures together in a
triple" act. Their parents are
willing if they continue to hold
the same ambition and if the tai
ent they already show for the

To Study Relief Problem

have plenty to say about some
of the methods Of handling relief
and particularly of the way some
of the hard-boiled eggs in the
relief stations and the employ"
ment bureaus handle the men
who stand in line for jobs.
He left here Saturday, July IA,
by Capitol Limited to Chicago;
and thence by bus to Milwaukee,
80 miles north. That's where he
found out for the first time in
years what it means to ask for
a job and not get it; that's where
he was told by sympathetic
youngster. who was in the job
hunting business himself, that if
George Allen would shave off
that three-day beard he might
have a chance at getting a job
say as doorman or possibly in
a hotel.
Couldn't Land Job
The idea of getting a job in
hotel appealed to him. Having
been manager of Wardman Park
Hotel, and having been an execu-
tive in some of the worlds best
known hotels in the West; this
adventuring commissioner of ours
tried his best to get a job in a
Milwaukee hotel as a bell boy
but he couldn't quite make the
grade.
Then he went to Detroit. He
slept in cheap rooms. He rode
on buses instead Of trains. He
tried for a job everywhere and
failed. All told, he said today, he
tried out Is places where he
thought he might land some work,
and failed in every case. He said
today:
81 come back with the idea
that the radicals, the Reds, the
Communists are in small
minority.
"In these groups where men
are talking about OverthrOwing
the Government are people lis
tening, but if you offer them
jobs they'll leave the bunch and
forget what they heard"

EDITH
By EARL GOODWIN

All last week when Comnnls-
sioner George E. Aliens friends
thought he was playing golf at
White Sulphur, he was bumming
his way through the midwest
looking for a job.
He was clad in old and shiny
clothes; his beard was of the
three-day kind. The ordinarily
Immaculate George Allen, beau
ideal of the golf course, was in
the bread line, the job line, and
the relief stations. He was stand
ing up for hours with fellows who
were desperate for work and were
not getting it. And, to make it
short, neither did George Allen.
Demands More Relief
But he came back to Washing
ton with definite idea, and it
is this:
"The relief people have got to
give more relief and less run
around"
Summing it all up today, he
said:
"We must give better treat
ment to men who want jobs.
They really want to work. I
would divide the relief army
into divisions, the emplOyables
and the unemplOyables. To
the unemplOyables I would
give a regular sum call it
q dole if you like.
"But I would move heaven
and earth to get jobs for those
who want them, and I would
take that part of the job with
the most seriousness. From
now on the case workers must
realize the job problem is the
big one"
Secret Leaks Out
Mr.. Allen came back from his
experience expecting to keep it
secret until he had written it
out for the FERA, but the thing
leaked out and he was unable to
hide it longer than this morn
ing.
He still intends to reduce his

Salt For Heat:

Sceptical

Although several industrial
plants in Baltimore are reported
to be giving ordinary table
salt tablets to workers to stave
off the results of excessive heat,
DR.. William C. Fowler, District
Health Officer, said today be
had never heard that salt would
help prevent heat Strokes or
collapse.
DR.. Fowler said:
II know nothing of any ex-
perience with salt in hot
weather. / know of reasons why
some people should not be given
salt. My best advice for hot
weather is to drink lots of
water, lay off the alcoholic
drinks, eat light, don't exercise
too much and keep calm.'

BURGLAR FAILS
ONCE MORE

Although lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, Herbert
Spence, IS, colored, employed in
the 1900 block Sixteenth St.
N. w., does, according to police.
For the second time in a year
he was brought into Police Court
on a charge of breaking into the
apartment of Miss Margaret
Davis, a niece of District Com
missioner Melvin c. Hazen. He
entered a plea of not guilty and
demanded a jury trial. Upon the
recommendation of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney David A. Hart,
Judge John P. Mcmahon set bond
at $1,000.
Spence is said to have entered
the apartment with duplicate
key, only to become frightened
by Miss Davis maid, who recog-
nized him.
On August 9, he was placed on
probation after being convicted of
O similar offense.

Alike in everything but their
dispositions are the Capitals most
famous triplets, the three daugh-
ters of DR.. and Mrs. Jorge E.
Boyd, grandnieces of Mrs. Wood
row Wilson.
The girls, Mildred, Elena, and
Edith, are almost 13 years old
and are natives of Panama, where
their father is honorary counsel
for the Bolivian government. In
the winter, however, they attend
Washington school and stay
with their grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rolfe Boiling, at Wardman
Park.
The youngsters are a living
refutation of the theory that
twins and triplets are less gifted
mentally and otherwise than chill
dren born in a single birth.
Lead in Lessons
At their school here the three
are recognized leaders both in the
classroom and on the playground.
They speak Spanish and French,
show marked musical and dra-
matte ability, and are superb
swimmers and horSewomen.
In appearance they resemble
each other so closely that only
their mother and grandmother
are ever sure which is which.
Their tastes, serious and frivolous,
are identical. They like the same
food, same clothes, and same
people.
They share the same ambition,
to 90 into the movies. That, of
course, is an ambition shared with
millions of other American girls

while liquor shares and low-priced
issues were strong. United States
Steel was down a point at one
time, as was Chrysler, but the
lightness of the trading robbed
price movements of significance.
Strength in the liquors, which
was touched off by a bulliSh DEM
onstration in Schenley, was due
to rumors of large current earn
ings.
Steels were hit by the drop in
the industry's operations this
week. Rails were quiet and slug
gish despite the forecast of a
sharp rise in loadings this quar-
ter, the wage deadlock to hold
the group down.
Oils improved further with
considerable activity in low
priced issues. Aviation stocks
ignored the news from WASH
ington that the probe of the
break in these issues would be
abandoned.
Wheat was again weak on the
better prospects for the new
crop. Cotton was sluggish and
silver down.
Mining shares were dull and
lower on dribble of profit-taking.
Farm stocks were neglected.
