First Lady Will
Attend Benefit

NkkUuO OSUHSBuS
A novel benefit for Washing
tons Thrift Shop is being
sponsored by Mrs. John r. Will
liams, its chairman, at the Sui
grave Club Wednesday after
noon at 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Nicholas Townsend, of
New York, will stage a color
aura" show with IL of WASH
ington's prettiest debutantes
and young society matrons in
the picturesque roles Of the
Twelve Signs of the Zodiac.
For many years she has been
interested in occult sciences
and studied astrology under
the late Evangeline Adams,
later evolving what she terms
"color-aura."
In ancient times men and
women were able to use color
as a power and Mrs. Townsend
feels that it would be possible
to do the same thing today and
has given long attention to the
study of personal color vibra-
ton. All shades of tone and
color are in the aura and each
individual vibrateS in harmony
with some special one of these.
Her theory is that proper color
and dress will give anyone the
ability to have whatever she
wants in life. Through a
knowledge of astrology it is
possible to determine what
color should be worn under the
twelve signs of the Zodiac in
order to enhance the possi-
bilities contained in each indi-
vidual'S own particular aura.
In other wordS-look to the
astral world for color guidance
in ones clothes.
Distinguished PatrOnesses
In addition to the "color-
aura" show there will be an
exhibition of the famous Val
Kill furniture, two rooms being
arranged-a living room and a
bedroom - featuring charming
pieces of the sturdy, practical
furniture made at the factory.
Mrs. Roosevelt has consented
to open the show Wednesday
afternoon, and the list of dis
tinguished patronesses includes
Sonora de Espil, Nine. de La
boulaye, Nine. -SimopouloS, Mrs.
j. Hamilton Lewis, Mrs. Sum-

matrons who will take part in
the promenade of the Twelve
Signs of the Zodiac" will be
loaned by local speciality shops.
All proceeds from the show will
be turned over to the Thrift
Shop for division among it's
five member organizations, the
Children's Country Home, the
Children's Hospital, the Child

LEADERS FIGHT
NJ 'LEOD VOTE
Continued from Page -

CONTINUED from Page u
House by Representative Mcleod
to support his bill long enough to
get it to the floor for o vote.
There, he points out, it can be
amended if the House wishes, but
the most important step is to get
the bill out into the open.
Secret Threats Made
Behind closed doors and by in.
voking threats of embarrassing
penalties, Administration leaders
are attempting to prevent that
vote.
Already Mcleod forces have
secured one vote on the floor Of
the House, but it was not a clear
cut vote directly on the merits Of
the bill, as it involved the in
tegrity of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee and so was
doomed from the first.
The Mcleod bloc asks only that
the House agree. through signing
the Weideman petition, to vote on
the measure yea or nay before ad-
journment for the summer. Fear.
ing November elections, that vote
is exactly what opponents wish to
avoid.

Chinese Government Official
Gets "Tip" in Peiping, on
Attitude of U. S.

PEIP1NG, April 26 GN.S).-A
spokesman for the Chinese gov.
ernment declared today that Cor.
dell Hull, American Secretary Of
State, is about to dispatch a note
to Tokyo, calling Japan's atten-
ton to her obligations under the
nine-power treaty and also asking
an explanation of an interview
given out by the Japanese con-
sui general at Geneva with re-
gard to the Philippines.
The government spokesman
said he had received this infor-
nation from Washington, where
the recent Japanese statement on
Far Eastern policy, the spokes-
man said, was considered to have
created a very serious situation.

JA|LER FOUND
i GU|LTLESS j

Chief of Police j. j. Crowley
of Prince Georges county today alb
solved George Wiseman, jailer at
Hyattsville lookup, after an in
vestigation into an accident on
the steps of the Jail in which
George A. Wellard, 800 block
Ninth st. S. E., received a. broken
leg.
Friends of the injured man
complained that the jailer pushed
him down the stairs.
Chief Crowley, however, said
that investigation showed that
the man, charged with drunken
ness, started down the flight of
stairs alone and fell. When he
was able to walk into a cell, his
injury was not thought serious.
When he asked for a doctor, one
was called. Before the doctor
arrived, friends bailed him and
two companions, Monroe EIuth,
800 block Third st. N. w., and
Edward G. Purdy, 1900 block c
St., out of jail, the chief said.
It was said by the defendants
friends that a suit against the
county over the injury is con-
templated and that they will
attempt to prove that the jailer
pushed the man.
