Religion In A
nutshell
By REV. HENRY K. PASMA
Phi. D.
TRIPLES

You wouldn't think that you coulc
ever get Jesus Christ interested ii
ttrifes. We are accustomed to think Of
for everything that looms big ant
important in spiritual way. Yet il
His teaching of the disciples and the
multitude of the parable of the tai.
ents He becomes very emphatic with
regard to our taking care of the small
things.
This teaching of Jesus is not apt tt
make very strong appeal to men anG
women of our day. Depression days
and their effect to the contrary, we
are still very much of the opinion
that we can build our world big only
with big things. Who today would &c
back to the day of small things? To
our forefathers' thrift which your
high pressure salesman derides as
penuriousness if not plain miserliness
to their national budgets which oui
billions-minded rulers call ridiculous
for their trifiing smallness; to the
painstaking methods of the apprentice
system; to the smell of the midnight
oil, the sacrifcial grind exacted from
students before, in former days, they
could hope to become great profes.
sionally; to the contentment of folks
if they were gaining only little more
than livelihood; to their dream that
plain living made for high thinking
to all the numerous things which fill.
ed the age of the fathers which now
we have come to call naive, bucolic
Victorian?
Yet Jesus emphasizes the import.
ance Of the little things, and the faith.
full administration of these. The two
talents entrusted to the one servant
by themselves were not much. Very
little indeed, if with two talents only
you aim to gain a million dollars, OF
boss Wall Street, or corner the grair
market. But in His parable of the
talents Jesus does not show us the
Master sending out his servants tc
trade with the talents in order that
they may become corporation heads OF
millionaires. At the day of accounting
we hear nothing Of that. The Masters
commentator is not in terms Of fin
ancial power or public prestige, but in
terms Of character. The ten-talented
man is commended for his goodness
and faithfulness. But so is the two
talented servant. And so the one
talented servant would have been bid
den welcome, had he not misconstrued
the aims of his Master.
It would seem that God builds His
world not with things but with men
who embody the moral qualities Of
goodness and faithfulness. It is quite
certain God is going to succeed. The
out-of-the-way corners Of the earth
are desolate with the ruins Of en-
pires that were founded upon things.
But the realms Of goodness and faith
fulness continue to endure.

Progress is being made in the rural
rehabilitation phase of the rurai re-
settlement program in Maryland, and
farm families in all sections of the
state are being considered as clients
for aid under this program, according
to E. I. Oswald, director of this state.
Mr.. Oswald and other administrative
officials for the state are located at
College Park, and district offices have
been established at Frederick, La
Plata and Salisbury. The program in
Maryland is planned for close coop
Grafton with the Extension Service of
the University.
It is emphasized by Mr.. Oswald
that rehabilitation is only one of sew
eral phases of the resettlement pro-
gram, but that it is an important
phase in Maryland. The purpose, he
explains, is to assist destitute and
economically stranded farm families
who have a reasonable chance to be-
come sef-supporting. Contrary to the
erroneous impression in the minds of
some people, he said, it is not the pur-
pose to settle on farms persons who
have not had previous farm exper-
fence.
In reply to query as to what the
program has to offer needy farm
families, Mr.. Oswald states that it
will make loans to those who are I'M
able to obtain necessary financial
assistance from Federal Land Banks,
Crop Production Loan Associations or
other lending agencies. Funds obtain
ed in such loans may be used, he said,
for purchase of livestock, machinery

Slave Holdara In 1860

The United States census Of 1850,
shows there were at that time 1888, 742
slaves. One Of<the striking and little
appreciated facts shown by this CEN
sus Is that less than per cent Of the
southern whites were slave holders, the
total number Of owners being 3S4,SS4.
In the decade 1S50-1s6O. large slave
holders had increased more rapidly
than the smaller ones. At that time
1O,657 owners held 80 or more slaves
apiece, 1892 held 100 or more; 312
owned 200 or more; IA 500 or more /;
ana one over 1000. The number Of
owners holding one slave apiece was
1888.

as civic organizations, was passed by
the Senate February IL. officials of
the Washington Real Estate Board,
who for 10 years had been trying to
get through Congress a license law,
were optimistic, as this was earlier in
the session than the bill had passed
either the Senate or the House IN any
Of the other attempts at enactment.
Three days after its passage by the
Senate, the bill was referred to the
House District Committee, and later
sent to the House District Supcom-
mittee on Judiciary, of which Rep
resentative Palmisano, Democrat, of
Maryland, is chairman. The bill has
not been heard from since. The date
for the subcommittee hearing mas not
been set, and realty board heads have
been told the bill is buried beneath
pile OF District regulations. However,
its sponsors are still confident of the
bills approval during this session.
The code for the real estate brok-
erage industry was largely the child
OF the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. 1t was drafted by the
association and went into effect in
April last year. In the months that
followed, 1t was kicked about in N. r. A.
procession of nearly a half
dozen code administrators followed one
another and with each change 1t be-
came clearer it would never reach its
full effectiveness
The administration and the indus
try never agreed on the means of "po-
licing" for enforcement OF the code
provisions. Another controversial
matter which was not settled was the
budget for enforcement. However,
there were number OF prosecutions
as result of the code, and the fact
that code of fair competition was in
existence had the effect of keeping
the industry cleaner throughout the
country.
Although the license law which
would affect all branches of the real
estate business contains many of the
essential provisions of the brokerage
code it is more far reaching. Real
estate men believe it would be much
easier TO enforce than the code, and
a more strict governor could be kept
on the business, as it is a purely local
measure, while the code was written
from national viewpoint.
License laws similar TO the one pro-
vided for in the present bill have been
passed in rs States. including nearby
Virginia. In each instance the regu-
lations have brought large amount
Of protection TO the public and have
improved the quality and reputation
of the business.

AirConditioning
Two More Capital Stores TO
Install Air Conditioning.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

! Washington shoppers Will Welcome
the decision made by two more of the
citys department stores to air-con-
dition large areas of their buildings
within the next few months.
Kann's store. located at Eighth and
the Market space, is proceeding with
the installation of a giant air-con-
ditioning system, which will supply
cool, conditioned air to the entire
basement, first. second and third
floors.
The refrigerating machinery used
to cool this tremendous area will re-
cuire 500 horsepower and will be con-
nected to 80 large air-conditioning
units located on the various floors.
These units will circulate cooled,
filtered air through an elaborate syS-
TEN of ducts to the different depart
ments, where people may browse
around in perfect comfort on even the
hottest days.
Three Firms COllaborate.
Two air conditioning manufacturers
and one contractor are collaborating
in the installation of the equipment.
One organization will install the re-
frigeration compreSsors. another will
install the air conditioning units. and
the third will do all the necessary
piping and sheet metal duct work.
This installation promises to be one
of the outstanding air conditioning
systems in the country, and will do
much to maintain the fine reputation
enjoyed by the store.
LanSburghs Department Store at
Eighth and E streets will soon provide
air conditioned comfort to the patrons
of the beauty parlor on the fourth
floor, the fitting rooms on the second
floor, and will complete the air con-
ditioning of the entire first floor.
Suspended Unit Type.
Air conditioners of the suspended
unit type will be placed in the con-
ditioned areas on the first and second
floors. They will be connected to
large refrigeration machines placed in
the basement, although the equipment
for the beauty parlor will be operated
from a separate plant on the fourth
floor.
Women that have nearly melted
during the heat wave while having
their hair waved or dried under
electrical appliances will find they
have nothing more to worry about
this summer. A constant temperature

Of 80 degrees will be maintained

and the humidity will be lowered so
that that damp, uncomfortable feel
ing will be eliminated.
The owners of department stores
and dress shops have found that the
Spoilage of cloth goods from perspira-
ton during the Summer months is
tremendous and naturally results in
a great loss. In fact, the savings
from the elimination of this evil are
so considerable. the installation of
air conditioning in fitting rooms alone
will almost warrant the expense of
the system.
Value Quickly Realized.
The department stores have been
quick to realize the value of enabling
their customers to shop in comfort
and the announcement of these con-
templated systems adds to an impress
sive array of installations. Garfinkle's.

it was constructed six years ago.

fiected in increased profits. and even

CAROL IN FIGHT
ONHAPSBURGS
By
T. E. Powers

BUCHAREST, July II GN.S0.
Extreme military measures" to
forestall a Hapsburg restoration
in Austria were reported discussed
today by King Carol, of Rumania,
and Prince Paul, of Yugoslavia,
in a secret conference.
Aroused by action of the Aus
trian parliament in resembling the
Hapsburg Punishment laws, both
governments feel restoration is
fraught with dangers, including
possible revival of Balkan terri
torial quarrels.
To avoid a possible terrorist
coup, Prince Paul's arrival was
shrouded in secrecy. The only
other person present at the con-
ference was Foreign Minister
Nicholas Titulesou.
During his recent visit to Lon
don, it was understood Titulescu
impressed the British with the
argument the best check on Mus
solini's East African expansion
would be to prevent the reStora-
ton, thus keeping Italian hands
tied in Austria.
According to informed circles,
King Carol and Prince Paul
eventually will approach Germany
for cooperation in attempting to
prevent a Hapsburg restoration.

VIRGIN ISLANDS
PROBE SPURS
CLEAN Up
Pearson and Wilson, Leaders
of Factions, Both Expected
to Quit Posts Soon
BY GEORGE DURNO

A general housekeeping Of
both factions in the Virgin
Islands administration appeared
today to be the only logical So
luton of the embarrassing po-
litical problem dumped on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's doorstep by Sec
rotary of Interior Harold L. Ickes.
If, as predicted widely in Sena-
torial quarters, the President de-
clares a new deal for our West
Indian possession, it will be in.
terpreted as another setback for
the outspoken Cabinet officer
whose career has been somewhat
stormy during the past six
months.
Pearson and Wilson to Quit
Capitol Hill expected the resig.
nations of both Governor Paul M.
Pearson and Judge l. Weber Will
son, chief figures in the Senate
inquiry, within a week-but the
report persisted that Judge Will
son, who is backed by Senator Pat
Harrison of Mississippi, would
turn up later elsewhere in a good
job.
Meanwhile, the Senate Insular
Affairs Committed investigation
into the Pearson regime, endorsed
vehemently by Ickes, stood ad-
journed pending call of its chair
man, Senator Tydings CD of
Maryland. Mr.. Tydings intimated
it might be resumed in week
but most observers thought the
breathing spell had been taken in
order that Secretary 1ckeS might
pevail upon Governor Pearson to
resign.
Someone to Be Hurt
What started out originally to
be rather routine INQUIRY into
administration Of the Virgin
Islands has developed into first
class New Deal family brawl in
volving three members of the
cabinet and the Democratic lead
ership of the Senate.
Someone's feelings, it would ap-
pear. are bound to be injured and
Secretary IckeS looked to be the
ikeliest nominee - although any
action taken probably will be in
gentlest fashion possible.
The determined Mr.. 1ckes has
been making a personal issue of
Governor Pearson's retention for
some time, but he aroused Senate
leaders to a fighting pitch when
he wrote Senator Tydings a
pointed letter criticizing conduct
of the investigation. This caused
the President to summon Mr..
Ickes to the White House, and in
formed circles gathered the i'm
preston the Cabinet officer had
been instructed to pull in his
horns.
Governor Parsons position ap'
peared to be untenable, regard
less of the merit or lack OF merit
of the charges of incompetent adj
ministration leveled against him.
Ickes, in championing the gov
ernor, demanded the resignation
of Judge Wilson. chief anti-Pearson
official in the st. Thomas Setup.
