l6 story by Hal Cochran

The farmer eyed wee Duncy's fish and then he said, 'I only wish we had a little place right here where we could cook this treat.
 "To hike back home, 'twould take much time, and there are sev- eral hills to climb. Already I've an appetite that makes me want to eat"
 Well, say. why not?" snapped Scouty. Gee, just leave the cook ing task to me. We'll gather sticks and build a fire, then stretch pole across.
 well hang the fish upon the pole. It won't take long to cook it whole. Come on, all of you Tiny mites, get busy. I'm the boss!"
 
 The whole bunch scurried all around and soon a lot of sticks were found. '1 have a match" the farmer said. Just yell, when we're all set.'
 And so it, 1t wasn't very long un- til q blaze was burning strong. Said GoIdy, That fine fish will taste just wonderful, I'll bet"

At last the fish was cooked up brown and Coppy quickly took it down. It didn't take the bunch long to eat every single bite. "Oh, that was good" said Dotty. T am stuffed, and now I'm going to try to hook great big fish, my self. 'Twould fill me with delight" :"
 She rushed back to the dock and then the whole bunch grew excited when she shouted, i've q nibble! My hooks disappeare from view"
 And then she added. with q grin, Look out, I'm going to pull 1t in." Her pole flew into air and then they all saw something new.
 She'd hooked a. monstrous fish. all right. but 1t was quite q funny sight. Why, look at that" yelled Windy. Its freak" another said.
 Tt has a mans face. Mercy me! That is as strange as it can be. It looks just like an ordinary fish, ex- cept the head"

CHARITY WORKS
BIND DOCTORS

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 3.Mont'
somery county physicians have
cared for the charity patients
during the past two years at
no expense to the board or the
patients, DR.. Claude w. Mitchell,
head of the medical department,
declared in his report to the an
nual meeting of the welfare board
here last night.
DR.. Mitchell said the number
of charity patients has increased
to the point where many ply
sicians throughout Maryland de-
vote so much time to this type
of work that they have little left
for private practice.
Miss Lavinia Engle, chairman
of the board, Miss Dorothy Ever
son, executive secretary; Stephen
c. Cromwell, head of the works
division and other officials and
departmental heads spoke.
The board in operation about
10 months will be replaced soon
by the new State welfare system,
to be set up under the Works
Progress Administration.

In an effort to clarity the juris-
diction of his work-relief aides,
President Roosevelt today issued
statement defining the type of
projects which shall fall under
Works Progress Administrator
Hopkins and Public Works Ad.
ministrator Ickes.
Where the applicant cost of
any construction projects is more
than $4,000 it shall be within
the jurisdiction of PWA, while
construction projects costing less
than that sum and all non-con-
Struction projects will be under
the supervision of the works prog
ress administrator, it was an
nounced.
All applications involving loans
for construction Of public works
projects shall be submitted to
PWA.
Applications for loans and
grants for public works projects
coming under the Jurisdiction of
PWA should be filed at the office
of the PWA State director.
Stun clearance and low rent
housing will be carried on by
the housing division of PWA.
No "boon doggling' is in the
long array of projects which
President Roosevelt expects to
OK today for the States of Ala
bama, New York, Indiana and
the District of Columbia, as the
first work-relief programs which
will take employables off the dole
and start them on jobs averaging
$1,143 per year per worker.
President Roosevelt had a de-
tail of all the jobs, except the
district of Columbia, on his desk
and he took the opportunity to
answer what he said were a lot
of newspaper stories that had
not told the whole truth about
the new type work relief jobs.
At the same time he made it
clear that if there was anyone
on relief who did not like the
jobs they we're offered, they need
not go to workout the implica-
ton was that after that the
Federal Government dropped all
responsibility as to their welfare.
In other words, the poicy is
work or don't eat"
The projects approved so far
as explained by the President,
and on which men will go to
work as soon as possible, include
jobs that range all the way from
a two-room school addition in the
rural sections of Georgia to large
additions to the public library in
New York city.
The President said he was will
ing to read all the 881 projects
so far approved in Georgia, if
that was necessary, to prove that
the work was more than leaf
raking and boon doggling. How
ever, after he had read 10 of
these. someone in the back row
of the press conference called
out:

HERE and
THERE
By w. M. Smith

The recurrence of the annual
meeting of the Minnesota Asso-
citation Of Colored Women, held
Feb. 8 at the Phyllis Wheatley
House, arises the ghosts Of many
past years and brings to mind the
memory of many fine women
whose energy and genius began
the work and continued it through
many arduous years.
Now they are gone, all but one
of the original number have passed
into the beyond or have ceased
to affiliate with the association.
It was called the Minnesota
Federation of Colored Women's
Clubs and included in it's earlier
years many vigorously functioning
groups of women to whom it's
motto, Lifting AS We Climb, -
was as the breath of life.
In the opinion of many, Mime
sofa has not produced the intel
lectual equal of its first president,
the late lone E. Gibbs. Rarely
gifted, Mrs. Gibbs added to a well
informed mind the charm of a
glowing personality. Equally at
home on the platform or in the
conduct of a business meeting of
her organization, she was ever a
dominating force among organized
wOmanhOOd and though at times
unduly determined and unbending,
was yet always the gracious lady
under whom the federation grew
and prOspered.
Among those who succeeded her
in that high office there have been
number of women of high caliber
and outstanding ability, though
none, in my opinion, who have
developed the farsighted vision of
it's first president.
Among these women I recall the
names of Mrs. Elizabeth Van Hook,
still numbered among its active
membership; Nellie Frances, then
of st. Paul, now living in the
south, and Ethel Maxwell Williams,
active in st. Paul civic affairs but
no longer Joined to the association.
Other women prominent in fed
Grafton activities in the early years
but now finished with life are Mrs.
Jennie Watson, formerly of Ohio,
Mrs. Jennie Kemp, a forceful fig

ure in Minneapolis history, whose
life was comparably short, Mrs.
Ida Sellers, a very unique per-
sonality, and one time president.
The Minnesota Federation Of
Colored Women has had some
glorious days-days when the an
nual meeting was the gathering
Of all the brilliant and earnest
women of the Twin Cities and
Duluth. Days when the reports
submitted by its officials touched
the vital spots of racial veal.
Days when the most prominent
and best qualified men of the COM
munity were honored by an invi-
tation to speak before it's annual
gathering. Days when nationally
known women were among it's
guests and when the socially
prominent of this community
crowded to the doors any edifce
in which it's meeting was held.
And as they all return through
memory's vision, I breathe a sigh
for the glories of the past.
