Unable to get a job because. in order

due to the fact he returned to his
home city less than year ago after
an absence of several years, James
H. Woodburn and his family of three
are facing Christmas without enough
to eat or wear in their one-room
home at 1923 H street.

owing to a reduction in staff. Soon
forced to vacate his apartment in
New York. Woodburn brought his
family to Washington and began a
search for work.
He registered at all employment
agencies that did not require a cash
deposit. At each he was told that
although his record of ability in cler-
ical work and Office management was
above the average, he would have tc
wait because his recommendations fol
the past few years were from out oi
town.
Entirely out Of funds, he went tc
the Community Chest, but learned he
could not get relief because he had
been in Washington less than year
From the Travellers Aid Society he
received a little help, but this will not
last.
Woodburn then registered at the
Washington Employment Center,
which is under the Labor Department
There he learned they were placing

THREE PLAYS GIVEN.
Young People at Mount Pleasant
Church Entertain.
A generous amount Of talent was

A generous amount Of talent was
- seen last night, when the young
peoples groups of the Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church presented
three one-act plays in the church
auditorium, to the enthusiastic enjoy
ment Of a nearly full house.
"The Travelling Man." which was
the opening presentation, had in its
cast Phyllis Cogswell, Betsy Ross and
Lloyd Edwards, all Of whom gave
earnest and intelligent portrayals of
their characters, making the lesson
of the story impressive. John Strong
and Betty Jean Smalley capably
handled the principal parts in Booth
Tarkington's THE Ghost Story" With
fine support by Patty Craig, Doris
Little, Jane Howard. Wiley Marshall,
Donald Thorn, Jack Marzolf and Cliff
ton Gruver, the somewhat delayed
climax Of the story was finally reached
cleverly and effectively.
The final was a short comedy and
had a cast composed of more expert
enced members of the young peoples
groups-Margaret Trey, Hugh Wingard
and Mrs. William P. Kilgore. With
many scenes for domestic sQuabbling
in the plot, the cast acted realistically.
Throughout the evenings entertain
ment the acting was done in an easy
and natural manner-more so than
could be normally expected from a
young group Of the kind.
It must be mentioned that musical
entertainment was provided during the
intermiSsions by potential maestros Of
the ages between IA and II. The
orchestra also played melodies for an
impromptu dance, which was held
Immediately at the close Of the per-
formance, given in celebration Of the
occasion.
Credit must be given, too, to the
stage and property managers of the
separate plays, as they were remark
ably effective.

gested by Fire Chief Charles Schrom
after the Post Office Building fire

resolution adopted last night by the

quired for this field, and the resolu-
ton provided that in the event this
was undertaken by the local fire de-
partment, the Federal appropriation
would have to be increased to cover
the additional cost. Copies of the
resolution will be sent to the Com
misSioners and FIRE department ON
cials.

mended by the Commissioners.

The young man who works his way through col
lege Is apt to be a much better student than the one
whose parents pay his way. This is the conclusion
TO be drawn from a survey just completed at the
University Of Southern California by DR.. Frank G.
Touton. the university's vice president.
The survey compared the scholastic records OF stu
dents participating In the federal governments pro-
gram OF part-time jobs for college undergraduates
with those whose expenses we're being met by their
parents. and II found that the former group ranked
higher In classroom marks. displayed a greater earn
estness OF purpose and. in general. seemed to be get
ting more out Of college life.
This isn't hard to understand. The lad whose col
leee expenses are paid for him can easily fan into
the notion that college is just a pleasant and divert
ing lark. The one who is earning his way by the
sweat Of hts brow know what he Is in college for. and
does his best to make It worth the effort it is cost
ing him.
