ers for truckin' off with first prize
in the Settlement House Drama
Festival. The play they presented
was "Find the Girl" a one-act
piece about the colored boy-white
girl situation. Louise Bohanon
must be doubly congratulated for
her nerve in daring to offer a pub
lie presentation of the problem. I
heard a few unfavorable comments
from white members of the au-
dience while the play was in prog
ress, but that was to be expected.
Three-fourths of the white citizens
of Minneapolis and st. Paul are
unaware that there is any such
mingling and mixing, and it's just
as well if you ask me. And all of
this unholy mess in the newspapers
hasn't helped things any. Thurs
days headlines in the Minneapolis
Star screech out: "Link Prisoner
to White Slave Ring" That is
followed by as sordid a story as
you'd ever want to read. A Negro
man accused of transporting white
girls across the state line to work
in vice resorts. Whether or not
it's true, it makes pretty bad read
ing. One of these days, Minnesota
or not, somebody might remember
that telephone poles aren't too high
to string lynch rope up on. And
that would be just TOO ducky,
wouldn't it?
Now, let's get on to something
more pleasant. Well, boys, I'm go
ing to give you a break and tell
you something about the out-of-
town gals I ran across down there
at University of Illinois. I usually
rave about the men, but I'll tell
about the gels first and then I'll
swing around to the men as per
usual.
A survey would read somethin'
like this: Helen Payne, lovely to

The House District Committee
today voted an investigation into
the local traffic situation to de-
termine why such inadequate
facilities" are provided.
The action was taken under
sponsorship of Representative
Merlin Hull, Progressive, of Wis
consin, who on several occasions
has bitterly attacked what he
claims is extremely poor service
and poor facilities" provided by
the local transit companies.
The probe will be conducted by
a subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Wright Patman CD of
Texas and probably will not be
completed until the next session
Of Congress.
It is planned to gather informa-
tion on the subject during the re-
cess Of Congress and to return in
January to study the data and
submit its report with recon-
mendations for correcting the situ-
alton.
Mr.. Patman, declaring that he
is firmly convinced that some
thing will have to be done to pro-
vide better transportation here for
Government employees, said:

ORDERED TO
HOUSE
Scheme Would Call
For Cooperation of
Local Employers

In a surprise move today, the
House District Committee ap
proved and ordered favorably re
ported to the House the GreenwaJ
resolution for relieving unemploy
ment in the District through 6
scrip plan.
The committees action was
taken shortly after it met today
and without any hearings having
been held on the resolution.
Representative Wright Patmar
CD of Texas led the advocates Of
the bill in gaining the rapid
action.
Patman Backs Plan
Representative Isabella Green
way CD of Arizona, author Of
the measure, had not reached the
committee room when Mr.. Pat
man urged it be approved. He
pointed out:
"The plan is merely per-
miSSive, and would not become
effective unless sufficient CO.
operation from the employers
of the city can be obtained. We
may as well give the plan a
chance here and if sufficient
cooperation is obtained, I think
it will do a good deal to relieve
unemployment in Washington.
eff it does work well in the
District, then other cOmmuni-
ties can follow along and use
this plan to relieve unemplOy-
ment.
IF sufficient cooperation is
not developed after the enact
ment of this resolution, then
the idea can be dropped, but
anyway we can't hurt anything
by enacting this proposal"
The committee then approved
the resolution. Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New
Jersey, chairman of the com
mittee. said she plans to report
the bill to the House as soon as
possible and expressed the belief
that it could be approved by the
House under unanimous consent,
How Plan Works
Briefly, the plan contemplates
that substantial number of EN-.
ployers in the city will volunteer
to enter the plan. They would be
permitted to take on additional
employees, now unemployed, and
pay them certificates to be issued
by the District Government.
Each one-dollar certificate would
have space for SO two-cent stamps,
and the holder of each certificate
each Wednesday would be re-
quired to place a two-cent stamp
on the certificate, thus Great
ing a $1.O6 trust fund at the end
of each year for each certificate
that had been in circulation for SO
weeks.
The certificates would be re-
deemable, when SO two-cent stamps
had been placed upon them, at 81
at the District Treasury, where the
money for the stamps would be
collected to form the redemption
fund.

FARM WOMEN
STUDY YRURAL
EDUCATION
u. S. System Is Urged
For Whole World at
Meeting Here

Farm women from all four cor.
ners of the world today were
urged to adopt a system Of rural
education practiced in this coun-
try, under which the Government
provides funds for the education
of it's women on the farms.
The suggestion was made by
Mrs. S. c. Chapel, of Columbia,
S, c., a member of the South
Carolina Council of Farm Women,
in speech before the rural ed
ucation section meeting of the
third triennial conference of the
Associated Country Women Of
the World in the Department Of
Labor Auditorium.
System Praised
The conference, which has at
tracted 1900 delegates from all
over the world, heard Mrs. Chap
pei laud the American system of
home demonstration agents, which
has been in effect in this country
since 1925.
Mrs. Chapel, explaining that
under this system trained home
demonstration agents are sent
into the field by the Department
of Agriculture's Extension Service,
urged the women to seek such a
service when they go back to their
home countries.
Mrs. C. M. Scott, of East Sus-
sex, England, explained to the
women methods now in use in her
country to absorb urban people
who come to live in the country.
She said greater understanding
of "city folks by the rural popu.
lation is necessary before such an
absorption can be effected prop
erly.
Norway Plan Told
The Norwegian system Of pre-
pairing the youth of the country
for the farms was explained by
F'ru Marie Michelet, of Oslo, Nor
way, who said that all girls and
boys are given the opportunity of
studying agriculture for a period
of one year before they enter
college. College education in Nor
way, she said, is free for every
body.
Unlike the portion Of the con-
ference which has passed into his.
tory, since the convention started,
today's program found the
1900 farm and country women
in attendance at meetings being
held in seven widely separated
meeting places.
The Corcoran Art Gallery was
the scene of the round table dis
cusSion of the value of art in
rural life. Mrs. Howard w. Lewis,
president of the Women's National
Farm and Garden Clubs, was
hostess chairman for this discus
sion which was conducted by Mrs.
Emmett SluSher, of Missouri, with
DR.. Allan Eaton, of the Russell
Sage Foundation as technical ad-
wiser and Miss Caroline Huston
Thompson, of Washington as Sec
retary.
FN-~ discussions were held in
the United States Chamber of
Commerce Building-radio, health
service in rural areas, motion pic
lures and drama. For the radio
discussions, Mrs. j. B. Colt, presi-
dent Of the Kansas Home Demon

of radio service, U. S. D. A., acted
