"f Senator Borah will be
good enough to furnish me a

what he characterizes as the
shameless doing out of funds
/ promise him quick action"
Certain persons contend that
IT Mr.. BorGh is correct, it
should not be necessary for
him to point out to Hopkins
the conditions in Mr.. Hopkins
oUn organization.
They say that Mr.. Hopkins
should be keeping account of
the FERA expenditures and
that Senator Bordh and others
should not be expected to fur
niSh proof.
There is little doubt, observers
say, that there have been rather
peculiar expenditures of money
in most emergency Organiza-
tiOns that handle the vast sums
appropriated by Congress in de-
preston times.
Throughout the country, field
employees in some towns have
been discovered practicing du-
bious systems in handling the
funds. In instances where graft
has been discovered, the en-
ployes have been removed from
their offices, although few GRIM
inal charges have been pre-.
ferred.

orderly, and there's a secret
craving in you to see something
that ISN'T safe and comfort
able. something that's reck-
less, unexpected, dangerous, de"
fiant.
Does that mean that we really
like wickedness?
No, it merely means that we
instinctively dislike this thing
we call goodness.
We can't put our feeling into
words. We're even ashamed to
admit it, but we feel there's
something lacking in good"
lives-in good" people.
And there is!
GUMPTION is lacking.
Nine times out of ten this
thing we call goodness" isn't
goodness at all.
Goodness should be the most
positive force on earth-and the
fightingest, because it has end
less savagery and stupidity to
battle.
Goodness should be a rip-roar-
ing, red-blooded adventure-an
everlasting risk-a challenge to
all corners.
But instead, it's usually A
PARLO OR GAME! PLAYING safe,

CRUSADE NEEDED
But healthy life doesn't want
to play safe, sit pretty.
Healthy life grows through

It is Americas farewell to
Evangeline Booth and Evange-
line Booths farewell to America
on the eve of her sailing for
London to become general of
the Salvation Army.
A wistful memory must have
come to her on that platform,
a movie cutback, as it were,
of another platform 30-odd
years ago, when she made her
first appearance in America.
And the scene was not the
old Madison Square Garden
which Stanford White designed.
No; it was a hall in the slums,
packed with a jeering antagon-
istic mob, and to get into it,
the young Englishwoman had
to climb up a fire escape.
SHARP CONTRAST
They threw eggs, and she
smiled. How could they fright
en- with eggs one who had been
pelted many times with stones
by the roughs of London's
Limehouse? Such experiences
had sharpened her wits, and,
foreigner though she was, she
graSped the one method of
stopping the hoodlums, and
that was by Selling the Amer

Salvationists' banner in the

tinue their throwing and their
abuse.
This Christmas Day the
army, while it is succoring hun
dreds of thousands of the poor
of 80 countries, will also be
celebrating the sixty-ninth
birthday of its general. Evan
geline was the fourth daughter
and the sixth child born to
William and Catherine Booth,
and in the London of Dickens
she came into the world on
December Is, 1865.
Her father, a Methodist
preacher and zealot, had broken
away from the discretion of his
church to do evangelical work
in the London slums. When
Evangeline was IL, William
Booth hit upon the name, the
Salvation Army, and the child
became one of the band.
She was marked for leader
ship and oratory. She was as
staunch and as perSevering in
the face of persecution as Viii.

recognized this, and the daugh-

ant in the years when his long
beard was turning Snow-white
and abuse was turning to hon

friends of society girls who
have been going into the mod
cling game, not for need of
money, but to assuage bore
dom.
Five or six years ago, there
were nearly 1000 girls getting
their living in New York city,
posing. The number lessened
in the depression years, but the
demand is still good. Most of
them are New York girls, many
of them homebodies, serious
minded, hard-working young
women who live at chaperoned
clubs.
Distinguished artists sponsor
their guild and in the past
have helped them to fend off
racketeers who offered to
"organize" their business. The
girl models pose for artists as
well as commercial photog-
rapherS.
The Junior League did not
deliberately start out to COM
pete with the professionals. In
fact, it appears that the league
has been nice about the whole
business. Washington hasn't had
to intervene. But it is true that
many girls who are used to liv-
ing like duchesses are caShlng
in on their ability to wear
clothes.
Some employers of models
not all of them-have succumbed
to the idea that only the debs
can parade gowns with that
sang-froid, or Savoir faire, or
whatever it takes that makes
the customer feel that she would
look like her favorite movie
star if she just had that par
ticular dress.
INTERESTING
The mannikins have to have
reasonably good features, Slim
ness and good height. From
then on it's specialization. The
types vary. There's the languor-
Gus, the rollicking, the spirited,
the alluring, the naughty, the
michievous, the de luxe SUB
urban, the Peacock Lane, the
Dare Devil.
Height and slimness are no
drawback. There is one model
named Marie, from the wind
swept prairies of North Da-
kota. She is 6 feet l inch
tall, but always in demand.
But where the genuine, inst111c'
tive flair for clothes is con-
cerned, run-of-the-mill girls
have about as much stuff on
the ball as society buds. You'll
find Park Avenue and Hester
Street neck and neck often
enough when it comes to the
knack of wearing clothes.
What about men models?
Well, college boys are going in
for it in a big way. Nils How

dinavian, is one of the most
successful. All in all it's a
good attention-getter for per-
sonable young people.
Sometimes posing is a step
ping7stone to Hollywood. The
late Florenz Ziegfeld used to
watch the magazine covers and
advertisements closely, scouting
beauty for his Follies.
Among his happy selections
were Justine Johnson, Dorothy
Knapp, Olive Thomas, Naomi
Johnson, Beryl HALEY and
Madeline Worthing. 1nciden-
tally, Greta Carlo, who was
once a factory girl and BARRIERS
assistant, got her real start as
a hat model.

BANK GROUP PLANS
HUGE SOVIET CREDITS
Ambassador Troyanovsky Guest al
New York Luncheon, When
Trade Is Discussed.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 25.-Extensive
credits, the initial amount running
probably above s200.000.000. are being
arranged for Russia by American bank
ers, according to reliable sources in
banking circles.
Alexander A. Troyanovsky. Russian
Ambassador to the United States, was
a guest at luncheon yesterday with
Reeve Schley, vice president of Chase
National Bank; Owen D. Young,
Thomas Lamont of j. P. Morgan Co.,
and other financiers and industrialists
at which trade and credits we're dis
cussed. The luncheon session was
closed.
Troyanovsky, it was understood.
stressed the point that Russian pur-
chases of American goods would be pro-
portionate with United States imports
from the Soviet Union and that an ex-
tension Of credit must precede the plac-
ing of heavy orders here.
The luncheon was given by the d.
rectors Of the American Russian Cham
ber of Commerce, of which Schley was
later elected president. The Chase
Bank has been fiscal agent of the So
Wet Union for several years.
