Miss Perkins
Story Teller
TWO COLORS
By HELEN ESsARY

Miss Frances Perkins. Sec
tetary Of Labor, has a sense OF
humor and tells q neat story.
At the luncheon Of the Won
ems Division Of the WPA at the
Mayflower yesterday when Admin
istrator Harry Hopkins turned
ladies' man and sat surrounded
by several hundred admiring
women from all parts Of the coun-
try, Miss Perkins remembered
in her speech the experience Of .
British world traveller.
This gentleman went about the
hemiSpheres with a spy glass. His
speciality was observation OF
"Food Habits and Native Dishes"
In Boston he sampled baked
beans. Found them delectable.
Being a good Britisher, he needed
a sweet" to finish the SubStan'
tial meal.
He selected Washington Pie
as q dish that promised a bit Of
patriotic folklore for his records.
"A delightful diSh," he wrote
in his diary. "A sponge cake,
split in two and sprinkled with
fine white sugar"
The world travellers next lunch
con stop was at Philadelphia
hotel. After struggling through
the native scrapple, he chose from
the menu the now familiar Wash
ington Pie"
This order, however, agitated
the waiter, the major domo, and
apparently the hotel kitchen.
Only after many minutes Of wait.
ing, did the dish appear.
"Your washington Pie" said the
waiter, with a flourish, and pro
duced q chocolate cake, decorated
with grated chocolate.
"An extraordinary error" ex.
claimed thee World Traveller.
Washington Pie-I had it yes
terday-it is pale yellow and II
sprinkled with white sugar"
"NO error at all, sir" said the
waiter, in q whisper. 81 can tell
by your accent, sir, that you are
o foreigner.
Naturally, you don't under
stand the United States. So III
explain. There are two kinds Of
Washington here, sir-GeOrge :
and Booker T."
As I read about the first ma
tional convention Of the Veterans
of Future Wars planned for July
In Washington, remember how
provoked Peace Crusaders have
been at my suggestion that the
cause Of peace suffered from dull
ness.
No reform, said, that had only
noble thoughts for ammunition
could cope with waving banners
and drum beats.
The joy with which the v. F. w.
has been received-within one
month $4,000 members and
chapter in every State in the
Union-proves my theory.
When peace appeals to the i'm
agination, when it ridicules the
"heroiSn1 of war;" it then becomes
Q vigorous cause and arouses the
cheers Of the multitude.

CHURCH
TO BE TOPIC
:. OF FARLEY

80 MBUS. Ohio, Oct. IA
QN.SO. The position Of the
Church in Germany under Adolph
Hitler probably will be called to
the attention Of the biennial con-
svention of the United Lutheran
Church in America, opening here
tonight, the Rev. l.. w. Rupp, New
York, revealed today.
The question will be brought up
by Representatives of the World
Lutheran Conference, Rupp said.
Germany may not be named Spe.
officially, he added, but the world
conference, at a recent meeting
in New York, passed resolutions
declaring the church must 90
ready to assist minority groups
suffering political or ecclesiaStl'
cal interference from majority
groups.
The question of the merging
the three great Lutheran bodies
in America, the U. L. C. A, the
American Lutheran Conference,
and the Synodical Conference,
will be discussed at the conVen'
ton, but actual merging probably
cannot be effected before 1888,
DR.. w. H. Greever, New York, sec.
rotary of the converting body, said
DR.. Greever explained that most
LutheranS in this country desire
the merger, but that there were
too many obstacles to be removed
before it could be contaminated
to make final action possible this
year.
Another controversial question
to be debated is the designation
of executive heads of the "a
synods in the conference as
bishops. The proposal will be
introduced by the Texas synod.

HENDAYE, France, August 18-
Salvos of 6-inch shells from the rebel
cruiser Almirante Cervera today
silenced the guns of the government
fortress of Guadalupe.
However, the forts armament was
still regarded as a menace 10 any rebel
attack by land.
In retaliation for the vicious she'll
ing, two government bombing planes
from San Sebastian blasted rebel troop
positions in the hills northeast Of
Enderlaza.
Poison Gas Charged.
Spain's rebel junta announced to-
night it intended to notify foreign
governments and Red Cross headquar-
tiers in Geneva that Spanish govern
ment forces have been using poison
gas.
The rebels. who also announced
they now hold more than two-thirds
of the country, contended the gov
ernment air force had been using gas
bombs at least two dayso
paris dispatches quoted govern
ment authorities as saying tear gas
bombs had been used for defensive
purposes only)
United States Ambassador Claude
G. Bowers established a temporary
embassy in a hotel at Hendaye Beach
after completing an evacuation cruise
Of Northern Spain aboard the cutter
Cayuga.
Denies Cayuga Incident.
The Ambassador took occasion to
personally deny reports he had been
ordered of the Cayuga after dis
pute with naval officers over move
ments of the vessel in Spanish wa
tiers. CThe State Department at
Washington also denied the report,
which was carried by the Army and
Navy Journal)
In q land attack on San Sebastian
and Irun, the rebels tried a new ad-
vance over the hills from the direc-
tion of Enderlaza in the face of
heavy machine gun fire and air at
tack.
Reports that rebel troops from
Oyarzun had cut of communications
between Irun and San Sebastian were
discredited by government forces.
At the same time, insurgents Oper-
ating out of Tolosa atttmpted a west
ward advance toward Azpeita, Is miles
southwest of San Sebastian and the
birthplace of Ignatius Loyola, founder
of the Jesuit order.
A strong detachment of government
troops was concentrated at Azpeita.
Some slight progress by the rebels
along the Tolosa-San Sebastian road
was reported.
A column moving eastward from
Tolosa was still seeking to contact
rebel troops under Col. Beorlegius at
Oyarzun.
Shell Kills Man on Hospital.
A radio report from San Sebastian
said civilian on the roof of ma
ternity hospital had been killed by a
shell from the rebel cruiser Espana.
However, expectation Of new sup
plies of ammunition and the appar-
ent failure of rebels in a combined
sea and land attack aroused new hope
in the besieged government territory.
Arrival of a field train at Irun
prompted rumors that new ammuni-
ton for Government guns was en-

MADRID, August 18.-The Socialist
Spanish government, fighting to crush
the Fascist revolt, called today for new
volunteers and urged women to take up
manufacture of ammunition and VIM
ter clothing-tacitly admitting the 81
day-old civil war might last many
months.
The new militia was being formed
at Madrid and Barcelona into a bat
talon of Red Lions''-Communist and
Anarchist peasants and laborers.
With 80 per cent of its standing
army of 235,000 troops authoritatively
reported to be fighting for the rebels
who want a Fascist dictatorship, the
socialist government sought volun-
teers to bolster its desperate drive to
stop the march toward Madrid.
Many workers already have joined
Loyalist government troops. Peasant

Women shouldered rifles and marched

to dashing soldiers, went with them

HYDE PARK. August 49,
Critical conditions in war-torn
Spain and Europe we're disclosed
authoritatively today to have
prompted President Roosevelt to
put a check on any plans that
would call for his being far from
Washington for any extended
period.
This fact became known only
five days after Mr.. Roosevelt, in
address at Chautauqua, N. Y,
had asserted he was more gravely
concerned over international ten
dencies than domestic problems.
During a press conference to-
day, however, the President said
he had had no new reports on
the Spanish civil war, other than
duplication of information in the
press.
Nevertheless, any thought of a
lengthy trip is out of the picture
because the Chief Executive feels
he should not be too far away
from his Washington base for very
long at a time; but that thought
does not apply to his forthcoming
trip through drought States start
