5000 JOBLESS
UNFIT To WORK

What is to be done with the
more than 5000 men and women
on local relief rolls who are unable
to work?
This question was uppermost in
the minds of District officials to-
day following charges made last
night that while steps have been
taken to care for some $4,000 able
bodied men and women on the re-
lief rolls no program for the un-
employableS has been outlined.
The charges were made, by Fred
erick w. McReynolds. chairman
of the Board of Public Welfare,
before the newly organized Pub
lie Welfare Association of the Dis
trict meeting in the Red Cross
auditorium.
Relief needs for the District,
Mr.. McReynolds charged, cannot
be met unless the Federal Govern
ment appropriates more funds for
local unemployables.
Mr.. McReynolds estimated that
the number of unemployables here
aggregates 5000 men and women.
Miss Alice M. Hill, another
speaker at the meeting, declared
talk of chiseling on the part of
persons on relief lis very much
overestimated." Miss Hill is d.
rector of the Public Assistance
Bureau of the District.

REPEAL SOBERS
VIRGINIA j.
STUDENTS
Motion Picture Theater Head
and Police Say Drinking
Woes Are Few Now

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, June
28.-Students at the University Of
Virginia are drinking less these
days-or else legal liquor has lost
the potency of the Gavin" and
bathtub gin of prohibition days.
At least that is the opinion OF
Frederick w. Twyman, former
mayor of Charlottesville and man.
ager of two motion picture the
aters widely patronized by stu
dents.
In the dry days. said Mr.. ivy
nan, the problem of student
patrons who had been hitting
the bottle" was serious. But since
repeal and the establishment OF
the State liquor stores rowdyism
and drunkenness has practically
disappeared.
Old Woes Recalled
Commenting on the new orderli-
ness, he said:
"In prohibition days we had
quite a bit of trouble with the
students. They never seemed
to have any trouble finding
liquor. And then they would
take a few drinks and decide to
come to the theater.
"Once there they would dis
turb the rest of the audience,
singing, stamping their feet,
making catcalls if the picture
did not strike their fancy.
"Ushers would ask them to
remain quiet or leave, and that
often precipitated fights. At
times things were so bad that
we had to call the police to re.
store order, and we did not like
to do this.
1--WE realized the boys were
young. and full of Spirits-prOb-
ably the wrong kind Of spirits,
and if the police we're called
there was danger they might be
expelled from college.
what has brought about the
change? That is hard to say.
Perhaps it is the fact that since
repeal liquor is harder for the
students to obtain, for the State
liquor stores will not sell to any
one under Fl. OF course they
can send some one to get them
the liquor if they are under
age.
"Then, too, the legal liquor
seems not to effect them as the
mOonshine did. We used to have
trouble with students every week
or so. But in the past year in
our theaters we have had none
at ALL"
A survey of police records shows
that in the past four months only
two cases of rowdyism in local
theaters had been called to the
attention of the authorities.

SUIT WILL TEST.
RENO DIVORCE
VALIDITY
Takoma Park Man Ready to
Fight Case in Montgomery
County in Few Weeks

ROCKVILLE, June 28.-The
Validity of a Reno New divorce,
as far as the Maryland courts are
concerned. will be tested in Mont
gomery county circuit court here

limited divorce in Montgomery
county circuit court charging de-
sertion and asking custody of their
daughter, Geraldine r. Matson,
age 8 years.
Pleas Failed
In the bill of complaint that &C.
companied the divorce suit papers,
Matson states that he and Mrs.
Mat6on we're married on June Is,
1925, and that on March /, 1885,
without just cause the defendant
deserted and abandoned the
plaintiff at Takoma Park. Md,
and went to Reno, New, and there
in the court of the State of Ne
vada brought suit for divorce.
He states that he followed her
to Reno, and tried to persuade
her to abandon the divorce pro-
ceedings and return to Takoma
Park.
Question Of Child
Clifford H. Robinson, counsel
for Mrs. Matson, said the Reno
divorce was obtained ~ grounds
of cruelty. AS the daughter was
outside the jurisdiction of the
courts of Nevada. she did not OBJ
tain custody of the child.
In the event the Reno divorce
is held invalid by the Montgom-
cry county court, Mrs. Matson
