ROBERTS WARNS
Of CAB FARES

A warning that several Wash
ington taxicab operators plan to
make a killing" during the Shrine
convention was made today in a
public statement by Peoples Coun.
sci William A. Roberts.
Mr.. Roberts warned citizens and
visiting Shriners to observe care
fully the rates posted on each cab
before engaging the driver. He
said:
Numerous indications have
reached my office that certain
taxicab operators plan to make
a killing on the Shrine cOnven-
ton. Visitors and residents
should know that Washington
taxi rates are lot fixed by pub
lice authority but by the drivers.
However, the law specifically
provides that the cabs must
charge the rates on file with
the Public Utilities Commission.
These rates cannot be changed
except after 10 days notice to
the Commission.
LESS than 100 cabs are re-
ported by those who have ap-
piled for increased rates which
could be effective during the
convention. That means that
almost 1000 cabs will be Operat-
ing at the usual rate. "***"

Fails to Give Details

NEW YORK, June G.NS0
With 5-year-old Jackie Raul still
missing from his home after al,
most 48 hours hunt by authori,
ties, an effort was made today to
determine whether a telephone
call to the distracted mother last
night was hoax or from the kid
naper of the child.
Mrs. Anna Raul, who lives with
her husband, John F. Raul, sales
man, near the wealthy Sutton
Place section, said the telephone
rang at 10 p. m, and voice asked
els that Mrs. Kaul?"

''YOur baby is safe"
Then the line was disconnected.
Crank Suspected
Police were inclined to the
theory that the telephone call
was from a "crank" who Sympa-
thized with the parents of the
missing child.
Detectives were working on the
following suggestions to account
for the disappearance of the
child:
l. He had met with an acct
dent.
2. He was kidnapped, at ran
dom, by a mob who estimated
his parents must be wealthy, or
by a gang who mistook him for
another child of wealthy par
ents.
3. His disappearance marked
the first "middle-class kidnap-
ing"
4. A woman with a maternal
complex was attracted to the
good looks of the boy and alb
Quoted him.
Woman With Boy
Harry Lepou, a taxi driver, told
detectives he was parked on SUIT
ton Place on Thursday when he OBJ
served a woman and child walking
toward his cab. The boy was cry
ing and saying he wanted to re-
main at nearby playground.
At that point. Lepou said, fare
hailed his cab and he saw no
more of the woman and child.
The boy, he insisted, answered in
every detail the description Of

on advisers of the President and
others in the Administration. He
declared he felt it the duty of

The late Julius Caesar, the man
who made Europe, found that the
Arverni. a tough tribe inhabiting
the rocky central plateau of Gaul,

strong limbed legionnaires ever
battled.
Today a descendant of those
truculent tribesmen, an Auvergnat
named Pierre Laval, stands at the
head of all Gaul. Ready to COM
bat her enemies at home or abroad.
Laval combines the premiership
with his previous post of Foreign
Minister. Together with his deli
cate task of upbuilding the COM
plicated system of defensive
frontier alliances, he has the no
less intricate problem of making
his country's heterogeneous politi-
cal elements sink their differences
and bend all energies to defend
the national currency, and present
united front to the Stalwart
blond neighbors to the North and
East.
Like Vermonters
An Auvergnat is the French
equivalent of a Vermonter-Sharp
at horse trading, "sot" in his ways,
suspicious of "furriners," not
given to talking, and gifted with
patience enough to white until
he has made up his mind.
Minister of Justice
Leon Berard, erudite, polished
member of the French Academy
an "immortal"-as minister of
justice should strengthen the
Frenchman's faith in the applica-
ton of the law, and speed up the
trial of those still awaiting judg'
ment for their alleged completely

Col. Jean Fabry, wartime dare"
devil, captain of the crack Alpine
Chasseurs. should convince the
six million veterans that their
interests will not be neglected.
General Denain remains at the
air ministry. thus assuring con"
tinuity in the pursuance of the
speeded-up building and training
program. Louis Rollin, expert on
colonial affairs, returns to that
ministry, charged with linking
up the forces of the so million
black, brown, yellow and white
Frenchmen overseas for the pro-
vision and defense of the 40
million in the homeland.
Francois Pietri, who failed in an
effort to form cabinet, returns

Charters, of Columbus, Ohio, was
paid by District school officials as
a conSultant on character educa
ton resulted in the House amend
ment to the District supply bill
prohibiting the use of District
school funds for salaries to
teachers advocating Communism
This disclosure was made today
to Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, re.
tired, president Of the District
School Association, who is credited
with insertion of the proviso. 1t

House subcommittee everal
months ago that DR.. Charters
should be discharged from the en-
ploy of the local Board of Educa-
ton.
DR.. Charters was formerly at
filiated with the Summer School
of the University of Moscow
There would have been no need
for the clause, General Fries said,
had it not been for DR.. Charters

mer school.
He is now on the faculty of
Ohio University.
School officials here indicated
they did not intend to withdraw
DR.. Charters, who is paid $50 a
day for his services. until the pro-
ViSo becomes operative.

ing Communism does not go into

NJ. E. ACADEMY
Conference Votes To Reopen
Wesleyan Collegiate
Institute
SET SEPTEMBER, 1873

The Wilmington M. E. Confer
ence at its 9th annual meeting at
Seaford voted unanimously to re-
open the Wesley Collegiate Insti-
tute at Dover in September, 1886.
1t has been closed for two years.
Following this action upon the res
olution offered by the Rev. w. E.
Gunby, president of the Institutes
board of trustees, the conference
pledged itself to raise $4,000 year
ly for the school for three success
sive years, the totals to be appor-
toned by district superintendent
among their charges. The belief
was expressed by the Rev. George
w. Dawson later that the school
should aim at a fund of between
$5S00,0O and 100000 to insure its
future He hailed the action of
the conference as showing that the
conference and the churches are
behind the movement which, he
said, will give the trustees the nee
essary support to approach inter
ested individuals. The ministers
agreed to set aside a Sunday each
year, most likely the third Sunday
in May, as Save the Institute
Day." on which this money will be
raised throughout the conference.
Bishop Hughes, the presiding offic-
er of the conference, in an address
advoted the Institutes reopening.

Good Work
MEETING HELD IN DOVER

The director of Girl Scouting in
Wilmington, Miss Marguerite Gum
called a meeting of the Kent Coun-
ty District Committe of the Girl
Scouts on March 28th. The meet
ing was held at the home of Mrs.
James Hughes. The Committee at
present consists of Mrs Hughes,
Chairman of District Camp Com
mittee; Mrs. Frank H. Shakes
peare, Chairman OF District Pub
licity Committee; Mrs. Leland
Harmonson, representative from
Smyrna and Mrs George Walls,
representative from Georgetown.
OF the four Girl Scout Troops, be-
longing to this district south of
Wilmington, two of the troops
were represented at this meeting
by their leaders. Miss Cornelia
Taylor Captain and Miss Elmira
Lilley Lieutenant OF the Dover
Troop; Miss Louise Spruance, Cap
tain and Miss Dorothy Hughes,
Lieutenant of the FELTON, Troop.
The purpose of this Kent County
District Committee is to promote
the welfare of Girl Scouting in all
its phases; to provide adequate
leadership for Girl Scout troops;
and to organize troop committees
to assist with the activities of in
dividual troops. Plans were dis
cussed at this meeting for out
standing activities to be undertake
en- by our four troops, including
plans for a Day Camp to be start
ed in June. Of all the activities of
Scouting, particularly at this sea
son of the year, that has perhaps
the most appeal. 1t is not just
that the girls will have good times
that count, it is the inspiration be-
hind their adventures that. really is
of value. That inspiration should
be present in all Scouting activ-
tiles. Girl Scouts learn how to
make the best use of leisure time
They discover special interests
that perhaps they never knew they
had, and through development of
that interest, may find their voca-
ton in life. Girl Scout adven-
lures, like the adventures of COW
ered-wagon days, develop skill, re-
sourcefulness, backbone, good fell
lowship, self-reliant sturdy char
acter qualities which will be
needed in a changing tomorrow for
which no blue-prints exist"

Is Made of Wood of the Original
Barratt's Chapel

Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, pre-

annual session of the Wilmington
M. E. Conference at Seaford, last
week, is exhibiting an ivory hand
led cane carved from the timber
used in the original construction of
Barratt's Chapel, the cradle of
Methodism on the Peninsula. BiSh-
op Hughes said the cane had been
found recently among the posses
sions of the late Bishop Simpson,
and presented to him as senior
bishop of the conference by Miss
Sarah Elizabeth Simpson, of Phil
adelphia, only surviving daughter
of Bishop Simpson. Conference
members expressed the belief the
cane had originally been presented
to Bishop Simpson by the Rev.
Robert w. Todd, former member of
the conference, at the Cambridge,

The European Situation

That the European Nations are
in a chaotic condition is evident.
Ironically enough, this situation
was brought about by treaty in
augurated by a group of nations to
bring about world peace.
1t seems that Germany is not
satisfied with her present military
status. The fact that she sudden
ly decided that her military rank
was insufficient for her self protec-
ton, and is running her munition
factories both day and night, is in
itself a preparation for war
Being student in high school
and an ardent follower of world
news, it seems to me that if every
country could hold and respect the
confidence of her sister country
there would be no more need for
the wanton slaughter of wars.

'9Thank You"

Since 1t Is impossible for us To
see all of the people who so grac-
iously aided in the recent card and
bingo party, may we take this
means of expressing our apprecia-
tion for all favors extended at that
time. The school lunch fund for
free lunches was greatly aided by
your cooperation. The Chairman
Mrs. Harrington, deserves com
mendation along with her commit
tees she chose.
The School has appreciated the
cooperation given all through the
year by you. Two hundred ana
twenty-six members in our P. T. a.
prove your loyal support. A pack
ed house at the play Aaron Slick
showed how well you appreciated
our literary talents. Over sixty
five dollars from the recent party
plus over thirty dollars in gifts
from the Red Cross, the Century
Club, the Girls Charity Club. ana
many individuals, show your ap-
probation of a worthy cause. We
are sure that you will cooperate in
our last two charge affairs as well
as you have in the past. The op-
eretta Bits of Blarrey" will be
given the latter part of April and
the Eighth Grade Pie Day comes
around the first of May. May we
ask which school doesn't appreci-
ate such support Why shouldn't
we be proud of your loyalty?
Again we say thank you"

How To Do Lessons in Three Easy
steps. Price, S1.OO a Step.


When something very hard is as
signed the following steps should
be followed:
Step 1. Look at the lesson and
see if you can do it at first glance
Never try too hard because this
causes gray hair.
Step 2. If lesson proves too hard
pick out bright friend and visit
him that night. Tell him his les
son is wrong and he will probably
argue why it is right. This teach
es you without all the worry and
touble of doing it yourself. At the
end of the discussion always give
in and say, "Oh, l see now. Sure,
you're right
Step 8. When called on in class
always try to answer. If you
think you know the answer never
tell the teacher what you think
Take stab at the answer by
guessing. Your guess is always
better than you think providing
you don't think too hard.
Conclusion: 1 conclude from my
observations that if the above steps
are followed your report will be
decorated with DIS. These of
course mean Dandy.
