Pedro MOntaneZ, the Puerto Rican

blame Bronson for protecting the
old meal ticket.
DUCKY HARRIS, manager of the
ID Washington Americans, has a
new name. He is called Buck Har-

infeld recruit. Roberto is having a
tough time picking up English. He

of the team. The Cuban's first visit
in the United States was late last

which they suggested the Federal
payment should be $8,317,500.
These recommendations were revised
by the Budget Bureau before the
House began work on the bill. Al
though the House reduced some of the
maintenance items recommended by
the budget and cut the Federal pay
ment drastically, it raised the total
OF the bill above the budget total
by adding several new improvement
projects.
Meanwhile, as the Senate subcom-
mittee began work, the Budget Bureau
this afternoon was granting hearing
10 those who have been making an
earnest plea for more adequate public
health appropriations for the coming
year.
A delegation of medical men was
prepared to make the special appeal
TO the Budget Bureau for restoration of
funds taken from the health depart
ment in the pending bill.
Explanation Called for.
Or. Sterling Ruffin, chairman OF the
Health Committee set up more than
a month ago, had called on the budget
director for an explanation when the
District Commissioners failed, after
nearly three weeks, TO obtain a re-
view of items cut from the appropria-
tions bill by the House Appropriations
Subcommittee.
1t was expected, unless the Senate
hearings interferred, that Commis-
sioner Melvin c. HaZen would accom-
pany DIR. Rufin and his committee.
The Budget Bureau had given the
group an appointment for 2:30 pm.
The Budget Bureau originally cut
approximately $4,000 from the sum
requested for health and hospital pur-
poses by the Commissioners. The
House subcommittee slashed this by
another $4,000.

Four thousand refugees were given
food and shelter by the Red Cross.
Another 1000, it was estimated, were
the charges of other organizations or
were receiving succor from relatives

A civic committee, advised by State
officials and commanders of the
militia, toiled "a hours day over
plans for further relief and for dig
ging out the community.
The entire w. P. A. force was placed
at the disposal of the committee.
TWENTY-FIVE hundred w. P. A. workers
were being inoculated against typhoid
fever.

The details will have to be worked
out, of course. and will run into quite

The athletic banquet was a huge
success, with the boys and their
company enjoying a splendid eve
ming of entertainment. DR.. w. D.
Brown, in the main address of the
evening, gave the boys much en-
couragement and explained in a
very fine manner the important
part athletics play in the mould
ing of good character. The boys
were complimented on their re-
markable achievement and their
splendid craftsmanship. Rev. D.
P. Young, acting as POSTMASTER,
introduced the various players, and
each made a few brief remarks.
In a beautiful Mothers Day
service, Rev. Young brought very
touching and inspiring message to
a large, appreciative crowd of
members and visiting friends.
Seats were at premium Sunday
afternoon at the Fellowship Of
Youth tea and program. Young
people and their mothers from all
over the city were present to en-
joy the candle lighting service and
pantomime honoring motherhood.
Many mothers came out to hear
their boys and girls participate in
the very fine program, in which
every church was represented. The
success of the tea is indeed a trib-
ute to the Border Epworth League,
guided by Mrs Mildred Strader,
who arranged the program. More
programs of this type should be
held in order for youth to enjoy the
fellowship of their sister churches.
