HE BELIEVES CWA
OFFICIALS WERE FAIR
By a Times Reader

BY Times Reader
There was a letter by a CWA
worker in which the writer seems to
be trying to impress upon the minds
of Times readers that persons in
authority at School II, az 1873 South
West street, were more considerate
of the needs of Negro children than
they are Of white.
I have an idea that if this matter
were investigated it would be found
that the school officials can and will
show just and legal cause for their
actions. In this case it seems that
the good old Message Center is be-
ing slowly murdered by biased
minds.
The CWA has been accused of
showing favoritism to citizens or
natives of another state. 1t is use
less for such accusations to be made
for believe that the majority of
Times readers are aware that such
accusations and write-upS as were
sent into the Message Center by
CWA worker is the work of some
one who paid price to be taught
by leaders of an organization of
prejudice.

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABELLt

THE proletarian ''hot dog" has made it's for
i NAL debut into Washington diplomatic So
ciety, under the high-sounding title of Hot dog
a la MuSSOlini.
This humble delicacy, transformed into a
new and smart dish, was the piece de resistance
at an elaborate bal nasque given by three ro-
mantle bachelors of the royal Italian embassy
Signore Tomassi Ferrero and Migone.
The three bachelors determined to inject
novel features at their party Five hundred
guests gaped at the figure of hot dog vendor
who appeared on the floor of the grand ball
room, peddling his wares-politely termed Hot

Baron Paul Shell of the Hungarian legation

expression of polite boredom.
The Italian bachelors themselves wore peas

PROTESTS END OF
SERIAL STORIES

By Mrs. J. z. ].
We have been readers of your pa
per for more years than I can
think Of at present. It has had
three different names since our
family first began taking it, and
we still like it and think it gets
better each succeeding year.
What has happened to the con-
tinued stories? We liked them very
much. We always began at the
front and read straight through,
saving the comic page until last,
then read that and laughed away
our worries for the day.

not get the job? 1t is about time
the laboring men or the great
American Federation of Labor did
something.
Is there a United States law
against contract labor? # so, why
isn't it enforced? I am going to
make one suggestion. Make an en-
ployer tell you what he is going to
pay or let him have sign in his
place stating what he is paying and
how often he pays.
If a person goes across the pond
and hires laborers he is violating
United States laws, but the man
who hires you today doesn't have
to pay you if he doesn't want to.
I merely am asking for some in
formation that will benefit me and
also a great many other poor devils.

NOMINATION
PLESS LOOMS
Appears Certain To Be
Slated to Succeed Self
After Appointed Term

J. Will Pless. Jr.. of Marion,
former solicitor of the 18th judi
cial district, and last week named
to fill the unexpired term of
Judge Michael Schenck as SUI
perior court judge of the district,
is practically certain to be nomi-
mated as the Democratic candi-
date, in the opinion of observers
here.
The district judicial committee,
composed of six members, one
from each county in the district,
will be called upon to name a
Democratic candidate since the
elevation of Judge Schenck leaves
the Democratic party without a
candidate. 1t is anticipated that
this committee will not meet unit!
after the Democratic primary on
Saturday.
R. L. Whitmire, Henderson
county's representative on the
committee, and a candidate for
the Democratic nomination foI
solicitor, when asked last night
what his position was in regard
to Pless, declared that he would
support Mr. Pless for the noml-
nation.
Mr.. Whitmire declared that he
believed the judgeship should oa
as far as possible removed from
politics, and that regardless OF
the outcome of the sollcltorlal
race he would support Mr.. Pless
for the nomination.

DR.. Fulton Vesper
Service Speaker
Sunday Evening
Is Heard in Annual Event
at Fassifern School
Auditorium

The Rev. Darby Fulton, D. D.,
of Nashville, Tenn, was the
speaker at the z o'clock vesper
service last night in Fassifern au-
ditorium, an event which always
marks the commencement week
program there.
This program, given under the
auspices of the Sunday evening
club at the school was presented
with Miss Maxine Dunlap, presid-
ing, and Miss Nancy Lee Rich
ardson giving the scripture read
ing.
The invocation was by the Rev.
Henry H. Sweets, n. D., Louis
vile, Ky. A number of visitors
from the city and relatives of
those in the graduating class were
present.
DIR. Fulton said that the words
of his text were especially good
| for those who are graduates at
this season and that they should
keep them in mind and not be
satisfied with past accomplish
ments, but that they should &C
cept the challenge to do greater
things. eff we could write these
words over the door of our soul
with the help of our Lord, they
would make US all great" he de-
clared.
Every life, he stated, may be
summed up in one word. For
| some, this word is pleasure; TO,
others, money, or fame. With Al
exander, the key life-word was
conquest; with Napoleon it was
France; with Edison, it was sci
ence: with Paul, it was Christ.
The speaker declared that any
one knowing Paul and knowing
the teachings of Christ could pre-
dict what Paul would do in any
given situation. His strength was
in Christ. He suffered for Christ's
sake. Jesus was the summary OF
his life, the seaker said, quoting
the words, "For me to live is
Christ"
Paul's life had not always been
so, it was recalled, giving vivid
portrayal of the man Paul,
nursed, nourished and trained in
the spirit of the Hebrew people.
He was also of the sect which
zealously had prosecuted the
Christians. Then came the light
on the road to Damascus, and,
said the speaker, "there tran
spired in the heart of the man a
miracle of divine grace" This
great change in the life of Paul
was termed a spiritual cata-
clysm." Old things passed away,
ali things had become new. 1t was
after this that the great change
had come over the life of Paul.
Declaring that three principles
had afterward guided the life of
Paul, DR.. Fulton said that he be-
lieved these three principles "re-
NAMED valid for us today"
The first of these was his say
