Here is a bit of "Spot news"
the Colum bia BroadcaSting
Company might send out over
the air if it feels so disposed.
It's about the engagement of
pretty Eleanor Bellows, of
Minneapolis, daughter of the
Vice President of the Company
to Philip Pillsbury, also of
Minneapolis.
Philip is closely related to
the flour which made Mime
sofa famous.
Miss Bellows, who has re-
Gently been visiting her
fiance's family at their old
home near Charlottesville, Va,
has spent much time in Wash
ington. She was here most of
last winter and has dozens of
friends about the place.
Mrs. Walter C. White, of
Cleveland. came into Wash
ington on Saturday on her
way South with five children,
one governeSS, two nurses and
IT. trunks and a corsage of
orchids. At the same time Miss
Elise Packard drove over from
Baltimore to meet Mrs. White.
Together they went shopping
for furniture for their cabin
at Stratford Hall, Virginia.
The cabins at Stratford Gin
case there is anything you don't
still know about the birthplace
of Robert E. Lee) are being
built by the Directors of the
Lee Memorial Foundation. They
pleasantly resemble slave quar-
ters and make delightful oc-
casional retreats for the Strait
ford enthusiasts.
Mrs. White is the Director
from South Carolina for the
Foundation. Miss Packard has
the Maryland responsibility.
Mrs. White, whose late husband
was President of the White Au-
tomobile Trust Company, and
Miss Packard who also has the
name of a successful car, share
Stratford Cabin which they have
named the Automobile Club.
About the middle of April,
Mrs. White will open her South
ern home, Borough House in
South Carolina, a marvellous
Revolutionary survival, for the
Benefit of Stratford.
Didn't a romantic poet write
something about being in Eng
land "now that April's here?"
Frau Anna Schultze-Fysh of
Berlin, President of the German
Welcome Association, is in
Washington this week talking
about the felicity of spring in
Germany, particularly for young
men and women. AS if the young
had to have spring emphasized!
Frau Schultze's enthusiasm for
spring in Germany has an edu-
cational flavor. She is travelling
about the United States encour-
aging the colleges to send ex-
change students to German Uni

} versities. There are now 55
Americans studying in Germany.
Now that spring is here (edi-
tors note - What! Spring
again?) the students have such
marvellous outdoor times in
Germany" says Frau Schultze.
Almost every Friday they start
off for a three-day holiday.
Bicycling, or walking with their
knapSackS on their backs, they
tramp the hills and the valleys.
They camp beside the lakes.
They swim and fish and have
the sort of vacation that sends
them back to their books, re-
freshed and eager for study"
Frau Schultz was entertained
at a recent luncheon by Frau
Lertner, wife of the Counselor
of the German Embassy.
Representative Hamilton Fish,
of New York, the gentleman
who goes into frenzy over the
activities of the Reds and the
Communists, was applauding
the Russian Dancers at the Ma
tional Theatre on Sunday with
handclappings that were prac-
tlcally cheers! Well! What's
happened?
A Farmers Wife, unprotected
In the rural menage of her hus-
band, is likely these days to be
pounced upon by some shopping
investigator from the A. A, A.
and asked such intimate ques-
tionS as these:
DO you wish you had used
the money your kitchen sink
cost in treatments at a mail or
der beauty parlor?"
Would you rather have q new

or a jolly new washing.ma
chine?"
Does a new trough for the
hog pen do more for your soul
than a butter churn with a
pale blue facing?"
Would you rather have an
electric fan to blow your hair
while you are stirring straw
berry jam over the kitchen
range in July or a trip to the
home of your cousin who mar
ried Well?"
You can see by this synopsis
that the New Deal wants to
know how the Farm Woman is
getting along in Rooseveltian
America. The Bureau.of Home
Economics is helping the A.A.A.
in it's sympathetic investiga-
tionS.
If the modern convenience"
in the farm kitchen are not as
good as those in the stable, the
Farmers Wife had better speak
up right now. She won't have
another such opportunity to get
her perennial grievances cut
of her system for a long, long
time.
Maybe you don't know that.

to you for letters from two diff

First: We appeal to the cleo

publicize the candidates running
for election on the working class
tickets. This week we have stor-

of Aberdeen and Anacortes. Next

Second: We daily receive let
ters from agents stating they
are leaving for the hop fields or
fruit orchards. Comrades, let us
have letters from you from these
fields.
As yet we have received no let

Support Anti>War Meet!

Plans are under way in Seattleand should
be in other Nol Invest cities-to send delega-
iton to the Second National Congress Against
War and Fascism in Chicago.
In a speech to veterans last week, Secretary
Of War Dem predicts armed conflict soon. No
intelligent observer denies the immediate dan
ger of either an attack on the Soviet Union or
collision between two imperialist powers.
Comparison of the next war with the last
in destruction of life and property is almost
meaningless. Advanced technique makes pos
sible unimagned horrors.
Yet the following paragraph from the jingo-
list Nicholas Murray Butler, at that is worth
printing:
'The world war, all told, cost-apart from
100000 lives--400 billion dollars. With that
money we could have built $500 house, fur
nished it with $1,000 worth of furniture placed it
on five acres of land worth $40 an acre. and given
the home to each and every family in the United
States. Canada Australia, England, Wales. Ire

Book Review
LENIN, by Joseph Stain, 10 cents.

This booklet includes three
speeches about Lenin and his
work, one delivered during his
life time and two after his death:
'Lenin as organizer and leader of
the Communist Party" ''The Len
in Heritage" and "The Mountain
Eagle" At the end there is a
page by Lenin, giving facts abouS
his life and work.
The main facts that stand out
from these speeches are the hui
man-ness of Lenin and his great
powers and energy as a thinker
and a leader. He was rare among
men in the combination of mental
genius and executive ability that
he possessed. Most great mental
geniuses are not good when it
comes to action, and the other
way around. Lenin combined the
man of action and the man of
brains to a most unusual degree.
Another unusual quality that he
combined with these was that of
leader. Few men of great mental
genius are also great leaders of
men.
1t was a unique combination
of these rare qualities-rare even
by themselves-that raised Lenin
to the place where his death was
mOurned for longer and by more
people in more different coun-
tries than any other great leader
of modern times.

Tobless Relief

VASHON ISLAND, Aug. 30
A militant organization of unem-

brought relief to the island last
year. But the members became
lax and allowed their organiza-
tiOn to fall to pieces. This last
spring the relief station was clos
ed, and the families told to live
on berries. Boosters made state
mentS that there were no unem-
ployed on the Island.
Forty men were sent to
Vashon Island from Seattle by
the FERA last week to work
for so cents an hour. The Wash
on high school bus was used to
transfer them to and from their
work. And this in the face of
hundreds of unemployed work.
ers and destitute farmers on
the Island who are being con-
stantly threatened because
they can't pay their taxes.
An organized protest brought
some results and all but seven Of
the Seattle men have been re-
placed with local help. Other 10
cal residents are being investi
gated before replacement.
This example should make
it clear to the workers and
farmers that they must band
together in a strong militant
organization.
