ut was July in Washington. I
would sit in my room with no
clothes on, and, even though the
windows and transom were open,
the perspiration would run off me
in streams"
Victor Heiser at the time was
just about to embark on his ca
reer in the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice. A most exciting mode Of liv-
ing. He had just finished his
school.
Before he went to school to be
a doctor he went to school to be
a number of other things. He
doesn't explain why. He just sets
things down in a matter-of-fact
way in his volume can American
Doctors Odyssey"
1t is. a book that looks like a
winner for popular acclaim.
1t starts out with DR.. Heiser
just a slim boy rescuing himself
every second or so while he was
being carried down on the breast
of the wave in the Johnstown
Flood. He lost his family in that
flood, also his home and a lot Of
money. But it started him on the
road to adventure quite young.
Before he had started to write
this book he had Travelled in As
countries as a doctor and santa
ton expert. He has had about
every kind of an experience that
could come to a man in ths civil.

TOO Late

Paula Kyle had Spanish an
cestry. It stood her in good stead
when her family fortune was
wiped away and she was faced
with failure and the necessity Of
taking care of her father, q help
less invalid.
Frank Bartlett attempts to run
her business affairs as well as her
personal affairs. She resents his
intrusion and falls for Alfredo

The story is a romance willed

as the fight to keep love alive.

cluded all the facts about these
young men that she could pick UP.
It is an interesting document. 1t
shows the results Of careful re-
search.
Perhaps another outstanding re-
suit Of this volume is that in set

washington and His Aides De
Camp" by Emily Stone Whiteley,
published by The Macmillan Co.
The Washington times., 1936-09-26

It Is an suspicious beginning
The Autographs are more than de-
lightful; they are clever, penetrat-
ing, biting in their satire.
Miss Dwight, with happy non
chalance, picks her subjects from
every walk Of life, and points an
accusing finger Of grim satire at
each one Of them.
81 Grim Satire
Perhaps the most interesting
and most pointed of her Satiric ap-
proaches is her Dance Macabre," "
a commentary on the state Of the
world, with the principal powers
Of the world as the dancers and
Death, wearing gas mask, as the
attentive audience.
The powers Of the world are
easily discernible. There is Herr
Adolf Hitler, ReichSfuehrer, in the
foreground, jauntily attired in a
beautiful suit Of armor; Benito
MuSSolino, II Duce, Saluting in his
best Fascist manner, with France,
China, Japan, joining in the
dance, and Uncle Sam and John
Bull looking on.
Miss Dwight takes another sue
cinct crack at mans heroics on the
international front.
She draws a group Of ultra-well-
to-do men, filing down the street
with their shoulders hunched and
trailing into files Of buzzards, who
look strangely like the men they
follow. They are led by a smiling
skeleton, in military array.
The title is Merchants OF
Death"
Humorous Sketches
There are others, humorous
sketches of types-the gawking
sightseerS at the Aquarium look
ing at the crocodileS; Ferry Boat, !"
three women from three different
walks Of life sitting on a ferry;
Brothers" a group of men and
behind them a cageful Of monkeys.
that would have made even Will
liam Jennings Bryan believer in
Darwin.
They are too numerous to men
tion, but every one Of them is in
itself worth visit to the gallery.
In addition to her Satiric
sketches. Miss Dwight has made a
few, lovely prints of the conVen-
tional type.
She has drawn a scene from
Nova Scotia, a beautiful picture in
the fields as the sun goes down.
She has made a fine self por-
trait. There are others of this
typo, but, of course, the sardonic
hurnor predominates.
Miss Dwight was born in Ohio,
but spent her childhood and youth
in New Orleans and California.
She studied art in California,
and then travelled extensively
throughout the world, principally
in France. Italy, India and Ceylon.
She has only recently become in
tereSted in ithography, but she is
already represented with her
prints in some of the best art gal
ierieS and museums in various
parts Of the world.

Indications Point
To Browns Win


Every indication points to the
election of William (Bill) Brown
as County Commissioner, was the
information given out from Brown
Headquarters this week, after it
had been learned that the Jeffer-
sonian Democrats are joining with
the Republicans to defeat the Pro-
duction-for-Use' plan and all its
candidates.
THE taxpayers of King County
cannot afford to elect any candi-
date who has the support of Pro
duction-for Use plan and who is
pledged to its principles, to the
important office of County Com
missioner" said William Brown in
a speech at Juanita last night.
1.-THE resources of King County
must not be used to further this
un-American plan. Its leaders
are pledged to dismiss present job
holders and fill those positions
with Production-for- Use advo-

this week from the National AS

that state administration of relief
would work untold hardships on

on eight million Negroes who live

Overcrowding
OF Children


ATLANTA, Ca. (C)-The At
lanta Daily World, in a ringing
editorial last Wednesday headed
THE Wanton Packing of School
Children on Street Cars" said:
Because Of the community mac
feasibility of the children to high
schools, they are compelled to ride
street cars to and from school.
Most of the children come from
the fourth ward to the west side
to Booker Washington School. It
necessitates the crowding of street
cars from end to end. In the ev-
ening at turn out" time 1t is a
pitiful sight to see children scram-
bling for entrance and seats in
the street cars. When the load
is ready they are everywhere ex-
cept on the bell cord and in addi-
tionto serious danger to accidents,
there we have a more serious prob
lem. This crowding is sugges-
ton of all sorts of evil with its
attendant immoral carrying on.
Ugly words are the order of the
occasion and not many parents
wish to see their children in such
company.
''To our sad regret it must be
said that many of the children are
unruly, boisterous and uncontrol-
liable at times. Many of them run
afoul of the conductor and hard
words are passed. If many of our
parents knew the terrible condi-
ton, they would do something to
change the undesirable situation.
Parents and teachers should give
this serious thought,
1T is travesty on our civiliza-
ton and nothing short of pen
atty on youth seekers to subject
children to this sort of condition.
Then, too, this is problem our
social workers, civic minded citi-
zens might consider. They should
give it a closer study and approach
it with some remedial suggestion.
The Power Company is doing its
part. It is up to those who know
the terrible conditions to stand up
and do theirs. Who, or what or
ganization will come first to the
rescue ?"

Outlining briefly the amazing

exploitation of the state and its
little known industries and acti-

the opportunity at this moment

His Majesty wishes the Ameri-

citation is very deep for the SYM
pathy they have had for him in
this dark hour of his country and
of his people. He sincerely hopes
that the American people may not
have the same lot that has befallen
his country. May God spare you
from the harbarous cruelty of mo-
dern warfare.
May I also take this moment
to thank all the organizations and
groups that have invited me to
bring to them the greetings OF

assure you that His Majesty and
the Ethiopian people are grateful
for the help that you are render

wish all liberty-loving people to
give us their help at this moment
For medicine that is administered
while the patient is still alive will
help that patient to recover, but
there is no use for medicine to be

Farley Gets Civil
Service Protest

NEW YORK-A sharp letter Of
protest against a jim crow run
around being given Negro eligib-
les on the civil service list of the
Mobile, Alabama, post office was
sent to Chairman James A Far
,ey today by the NatiorA 4ssocia-
lion for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
Farley was warned by the asso-
citation that there is a widespread
belief among colored people, es-
oecially in the South, that the Post
Office department is engaged in a
deliberate campaign to eliminate
them from employment.
The Mobile case arose out of
the civil service rule which per-
nlits a selection of an appointee
from the first three names on the
list. A few weeks ago colored
man was first on the list, a white
man second, and colored man
third. A vacancy occurred and
Postmaster William B. Taylor APP
pointed a white man. Colored
men then became one and two on
the list, but the third place was
occupied by a white man. The
N.A.A.C.P. has been informed that
a vacancy is about to occur and
that already information has come
from the postmaster's office that
he will appoint the white man,
number three on the list.

states, at is difficult to escape
the conclusion that the treatment
