administering material relief to those who have been visited by sickness, disaster and poverty, and bringing the word of God to the unfortunates who have stray- ed from the paths of righteous ness.
 Your bicgrapher asked Mrs. Win. cent to relate one of her most inc teresting experiences in their long and varied career. Tn Q simple, homely fashion she told a tale of a young mother whose new born twins had for their only home Q mat of straw in Q deserted barn. When the Salvation Army heard of her plight they went to her aid immediately. A well to do woman in Hoboken, where this incident took place, provided Q simple ten. eEnent and some furniture for the mother and her babies and Mrs. Vincent after considerable effort was able to locate the father in New York state and return him to his family. Today, the twins are grown up young men splendid examples of American manhood, and living tribute to the work of the Salvation Army.
 While Major Vincent was telling your biographer of his travels and his service in fifteen different posts, I interrupted him to ask why he was transferred SO much, why he wasn't allowed to remain with one particular corps to carry on the good work. The Major ex- plained that he and his wife were erninently successful in building up various posts and branches of the army. When district head- quarters found Q post which need- cd support, Major Vincent and his wife were immediately assigned to that post and after things were running smoothly they were sent to another corps which needed bolstering.
 Your biographer thoroughly en- joyed his visit with these two simple people Their tastes in life are easy to satisfy Simple food is ell they ask, their reading is chosen from religious literature with an occasional news magazine finding it's way into their library in their home at 6 Alma street.
 They have two children Their daughter Nellie May after having served As @ nurse for seven years Is now Mrs. Frank Mackenzie of Boston Their son, Alfred, Jr., is now at the training college for Salvation Army workers in New York e. On June 20th of this year, he will receive his commission as lieu- tenant, after which he will study for three more years before enter ing field work.
 So friends, we come to the end
 of Q biographey of two of our neighbors "a simple story of q great work which is presented to you daily A story of two people who are true benefactors of humanity Major Alfred Vim cent who finds his chief interest in visiting the unfortunate who need what material aid he can give and his wife who rounds out Q perfect team because her chief interest in the evangelistic side of Salvation Army work.
 When the major looks after the need for food, clothing and shel- ter for our unfortunate fellow citizens, Mrs. Vincent carries the word of God to those who need His spiritual help.
 May their indomitable spirit carry them through many more years of service.

APPEAL Renewed
FOR OVERCOATS
Central Union Mission Head Calls
Public Attention to
Needy Men.

With wintry blasts sending the
mercury downward, John S. Bennett,
superintendent Of the Central Union
Mission, late yesterday renewed his
appeal to the public for overcoats for
needy men.
Early last night men began fiocking
into the mission building at 613 c
street. Many Of them were thinly
clad. All except one Of some 200
cvercoats given the mission have been
given away to the needy. At least
1.100 more are needed, in addition to
suits, sweaters and warm underwear.
Any one with clothing to give may
have the articles called for by tele-
phoning the mission at National 4349.
More than $50 men were given free
meals ut the mission last night, and
early indication was that the sleep
ing quarters for . total of 376 men,
Including 28s beds at the missions
annex in the 300 block Of Indiana
avenue. would be filled early due to
khe cold.
This caused Mr.. Bennett to issue
orders to men helping at the mission
not TO turn any one away, but to keep
up the fires and let those for whom
there were no beds sit in the mis-
SION chapel This will not provide
them with the utmost in comfort
during the night" Mr.. Bennett said,
but 1t beats sitting out in the cold"

new HIGH SCHOOL
PLANS. TAKEN UP
18th Street Highlands Citizens
Hear Address by W. C.
Mapathan.

The question of getting new senior
high school for the area east and north
of Rock Creek Park was considered
by the Sixteenth Street Highlands
Citizens Association at its meeting
last night at Brightwood School.
w. c. Magathan, president Of the
Takoma, D. c., Citizens Association,
addressed the group, urging their
backing to obtain a school at Fifth
and Sheridan streets, where land was
acquired in 1880 and has since been
leveled under w. P. A. work. The
School Board, he said, Is heartily
back Of the plan, and it is one of the
first projects under the proposed five-
year educational program.
The high schools which serve the
area at present, Central and Roose-
welt High Schools, are far too con-
gested and need the relief which this
school would afford, he asserted.
A motion was passed indorsing the
project.
The following were named chair
men Of committees by President Ar
thur E. Cook: P. F. Snyder, law and
legislation: G. E. Duncan, education;
Alfred Klakring, zoning; Eaviland
Hobbs, public utilities; G. NJ Gooch,
membership; w. z. Stoutamyer, po-
lice and fire: Dr. Charles w. Butler,
streets and alleys, and j. D. Rhodes,

Don't Forget That Household Ma
chinery Needs Oil Occasionally
A very little oil applied when it is
needed, keeps household equipment
working longer and is always ready for
work. 1t does wonders for the squeaky
bedroom door, the sewing machine, the
vacuum cleaner, the washer, and any
other appliances that need occasional
fabrication, he says, although there
are right and wrong ways to lubricate
and too much as we'll as too little oil
may be used.
According to Mr.. Ray w. Carpenter,
Extension Agricultural Engineering
Specialist, the best guide to follow in
oiling any household machine is the

perb the spirit of its people, would
probably astound us all. A little side
investigation showing up the methods
by which we got that way, would also
be in order right now.
We are all inclined to forget that a
very small bug can cast heck Of a big
shadow if it wriggles itself into the
spotlight at just the right angle. The
right sort of an investigation would
prove without the necessity of two
ton printed report, that nine-tenths Of
our fears and disturbances about our
future are due to the above mentioned
bugs. We have so forgotten about the
big, broad landscape beyond them, that
we really need sensational investi-
cation to bring it back to our atten-
ton.
Come on now, tell the truth.
Wouldn't you get big kick out Of
headlines which announced that Public
Investigation No. 1S09421-A had just
unearthed the fact that nine-tenths Of
the entire population were not Red?
Aw, g'wan, you fibber! You wouldn't
even read the story!
And If we had big expose to the
effect that we are a healthy-minded
race with home-loving tastes and sane,
conservative business methods, you'd
rush around discussing the revelation
with your friends, wouldn't you?
Well, neither would /. But just the
same I'd like to see truths like that
brought out at fair ratio-say one
such truth to every three half-truths
about Reds, frauds and graft.
The other day Uncle Sam paid off
over six hundred million bucks worth
Of debts and not a radical discussed
the matter. They all put cotton in
their ears and went on yelling about
revolution.
By the way, swell Investigation
might be started to find out why Reds
wear cotton in their ears. We already
know it's not to clean 'em. Must be
so they can't hear what they are say
ing. Or do they take it out when they
talk to each other?
OF course there are many minor SUBJ
jects which could be investigated with
fair amount of profit and excitement,
such as why women wear straw hats
in February and felt hats in August.
Why mothers-in-law come to visit, and
why even Lloyds will not issue insur-
ance against gossip. Also why hang
over is no more of warning than is
capital punishment, and if mice could
increase their popularity by growing
squirrel-like tails. Hey, no, I guess
you're going crazy, too, by this time
And probably the thought has occurred
to you as we'll as to me, that these last
are questions which not even a wom-
ans club member could answer.
Pollyanna was a popular figure until
somebody ruined the gals reputation
by calling her fake. But, believe
me, what the country needs is some
investigation to prove she is less Of a
fake than her traducers, and I'd back
such an investigation with all my
heart, even If they went at it with all
the reticence and dignity of a modern
murder trial!

one given by. the manufacturer, who
naturally recommends what suits his
appliance best. He knows where his
machine should be oiled, how often it
should be oiled, and the best kind of
oil to use. For this reason, a good
grade of oil is important. A poor quail
ity of oil will sooner or later become
dry and sticky and gum up the ma
shine.
Electric motors must be kept dry
and clean covering and storing care
fully when not in use will aid in keep
ing them so. This also applies to sew
ing machines and electric fans, which
should always be oiled and covered
when put away.
Mr.. Carpenter points out that the
sewing machine should be fabricated
with light oil at the places prescribed
by the manufacturer. After the ma
chine is oiled, it should be wiped off
thoroughly and run rapidly several
times before the needle is threaded,
wiping around the needle bar each
time carefully to remove any surplus
oil. An excellent precaution is to
stitch first on piece of blotting paper
or absorbent cleth before trying a
newly oiled machine on anything val
liable, as one small drop Of oil can
make bad spot on new dress. Sew
ing machine oil will not do for electric
motors, as it will not stand up under
the steady heat.
The chances of favoring food with
machine oil may be obviated if cooking
or salad oil is used to lubricate small
cooking equipment like egg heaters or
meat choppers.

Effect of a Parole

A parole is not an exoneration of /.
crime but is a form of serving out
sentence. A prisoner is not turned alb.

pervision of a parole board which
keeps in close touch with the paroled
man. This board usually has the power
to return him to prison for any good
reason. The parole is merely a tighten

Between the dark and the day

a pause in the days occupations
that was known as the children's
hour. All that, of course, was
back in the days when people not

ture was held responsible for a
large number of headaches con-
tracted by the children them
selves who were being forced to
learn it word for word in the ma
tion's school rooms and outraged
parents succeeded in having it
relegated to the list Of electives.
Soon, no child in the land could
recite more than the first four
lines and Mr.. Longfellow's effort
to glorify the children's hour
gradually slipped into the limbo
Of forgotten things.
But such is the force Of habit,
the parents went right on pausing,
and nowadays the hour formerly
spent in entertaining the child
rem is used up in deciding at
which night club the family is
going to spend the rest of the
evening. Which is something of
Sacrilege, because THE Chill

favorite poems.
