URGED BY BUCK

Protesting deletion of the Dis

executive secretary of the Federal

local liquor law in a communi-

grounds the label clause might
result in a conflict with a pro-
posed code for rectifiers.
In reply DR.. Buck said the
rectifying code had conformed to
the law and not the law to the
code.

RED TAPE KEEPS
FOOD FROM
CHILDREN
Several Thousand Dollars
Worth Unused as Students
Get Poor Lunches

While District authorities were
laying plans today to improve
the quality of free lunches served
to about 4,300 school children,
following a protest from Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, it was
learned several thousand dollars
worth of wholesome food in
tended for the children has lain
unused because of official red
tape.
This situation came to light
when officials of the" local Emer-
gency Relief, which has been pro-
viding about $3.50 a day to pay
a private contractor for supply
ing the lunches, charged that
"legal technicalities" had pre-
vented them from utilizing many
thousands of pounds Of food
obtained from the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration.
A development in the situation
was a two-hour conference be-
tween District Commissioner
George E. Allen and Superinten-
dent of Schools Frank w. Ballou,
which concerned plans for max
ing the lunches more attractive.
Red Tape Hats Plans
The stored food includes 1900
dozen eggs, $3.50 pounds of beans,
3,120 pounds Of butter, and COM
parable amounts of salt pork,
bacon and other commodities.
Plans of the Emergency Relief
for turning this food over to the
private contractor, thereby saving
much expense and providing ex-
ira quantities of nutritious food
for the children, were halted, they
said, when District authorities
ruled that such Government
owned material could be used only
by governmental or relief agen-
cies.
This ruling prevented plans
for installing Civil Works Ser
vice workers in each school, to
prepare and serve the stored
food.
To Name Supervisor
Meanwhile, complaints from
Mrs. Roosevelt, % presidents Of
parent-teachers associations, and
others, led District authorities
to announce they will dismiss
the contractor and handle the
procedure through a supervisor
to be appointed shortly.
DietiticianS of the Bureau OF
Home Economics demonstrated to
school and Emergency Relief Of
ficials yesterday that nutritious
and well-balanced lunches, n
cluding half pint of milk, can
be served for S cents apiece. The
contractor is supplying meals
without milk or fruit for 6 cents
apiece.
On previous-and announced
visit to the schools, Mrs. Roose-
velt found milk and fruit were be-
ing served. The Board of Educa-
ton said special lunches were
served that day so she might "see
what was to be typical days
lunch under the program agreed
upon" The board admitted the
lunch served on that occasion was
not the usual one.

A Celebrated Case

The last romantic scandal I
can think of was that of
Nine. Steinheil, accused of the
murder of her husband and
her mother, but never convict
ed. Around her was an aura
of mystery: Russian crown
jewels (yearS before crown
jewels were a five-and-ten prop
erty in romance) and secrets of
state and the confidence of a
president of France and all
sorts of incredible details in
the course of the trial itself.
(Her account of it, under the
simple title of my Life" is a
better murder mystery than
nine out of TO-, and the tenth
had better be by Dashiell Ham
NETT to make the grade)
I do not want to blame every
thing on the poor old war,
so I offer as an alternative
the explanation that woman's
suffrage has closed down on
good, elaborate scandal. ct
is a poor alternative at BEST
because women in France do
not vote, yet they have fallen
down as completely as the
women of England and Amer
ica.) The era which created
E. Phillips Oppenheim, or the
era created by him, seems to
have gone, leaving nothing be-
hind but a few memories, and
now when people think of
scandal it is all personal. But
personal scandal rapidly be.
comes custom and habit. and
the shock of yesterday is the
what-of-it of today. What this
country needs is a good five
billion-dollar scandal, with a
glorious, glamorous, Sinking
woman at the center of it.
