MELLON ST. S. E.:
Don't take my word for this,
drive out and see them yourself.
They are new group of duplex
apartments that are most attrac-
tive and appealing. Each building
contains four units with individual
heating plants and yards. To give
you an idea of what is offered, I am
going to describe a Second-floor
unit that rents for $46. On enter
ing you find yourself in huge
foyer, which can be used for a
breakfast nook. Turning to the
right is a living room with two ex-
posures, then there is a delightful
bedroom and sleeping porch, an
ultra-modern bath with built-in
tub, shower, medicine cabinets and
all the necessary requirements.
The kitchen contains a range, KEEL
vinator refrigerator and kitchen
cabinets. I counted four deep
closets and a linen closet, and I
might have missed one or two.
While you call these apartments
two-room, kitchen and bath units,
I am sure you will agree with me
that they are the most spacious
ones you have ever seen. If you
contact my office, I will tell you
how to reach them. Rentals are
$40 and $40.
1900 BLOCK NEW
HAMPSHIRE AVE (cor. apt.):
Another modern builders prof.
ect-that's what the builder calls
this group of apartments being
erected on New Hampshire Avenue.
I simply marvel at the cleverneSS
displayed in these buildings. Built
in one of the lovelieSt sections of
town, on a high elevation, they are
the latest word. This particular
unit I inspected the other after
noon has two bedrooms, a living
room, kitchen and bath, with lit
tie service porch. Individuality
marks the entire apartment; little
unique and unusual touches give it
an air of beauty and originality.
In the living room, which is eSpe-
cially well planned, a little built-in
bookcase adds charm to an already
delightful room. If you are con-
sidering changing your address, I
would advise you to inspect this
unit before making a final decision.
Rentals are quite reasonable.

When the Kansas legislature re-
convenes proposed amendment to
the state constitution will be intro
duced, giving the state broad power
to provide far-reaching legislation
for social welfare and to cooperate
with the federal government. Gov
ernor Landon was quoted as de-
scribing the proposed amendment
as Satisfactory"

the basis for similar action in other
states, reads:
Nothing contained in this con-

the power of the legislature TO enact
laws providing for financial assist
ance to aid infirm or dependent per-
sons; for the public health; unem-
ployment compensation and general

Severe Drouth Damage
Brings Federal Action

MYTH thousands of acres of
w spring wheat destroyed through
drouth and with vast corn-growing
regions threatened, the federal gov
eminent undertook a comprehen-
sive campaign to alleviate human
distress and property loss, and
stricken areas were placed in the
hands of a special drouth commit
tee by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, with instructions to pro-
coed Immediately with a plan Of
coordination.
Secretary Wallace named Jess w.
Tapp, assistant agricultural adjust
ment administrator, as chairman
of the committee. Four others ap-
pointed were: c. w. Warburton, di-
rector of the Agricultural Extension
Service: Hugh H. Bennett, chief of
the Soil Conservation Service; A.
G. Black, chief of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics; and w. F:
Calender, assistant agricultural adj
Justment administrator. Joseph L.
Bailey, assistant resettlement adj
ministrator, will also serve with the
committee.
The committees attention was
turned Immediately to drouth con-
ditions and relief need in North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Minnesota,
Montana and Wyoming, but officials
were watching anxiously the in
creasing drouth damage in South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and
parts of Kentucky, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas.
The work of six government agen-
cies will be supervised and co-ordi-
mated by the committee in it's work
on drouth relief. These are: the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton, the Public Works Administra.
ton, the Federal Surplus Commod-
tiles corporation, the Rural Reset
Element Administration, the Relief
Administration, and Rural Reha-
Utilization and Soil Conservation
Service.

Railway Pension Acts
Declared Unconstitutional

DECISIONS for railway workers
= received a setback when the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme court
ruled unconstitutional two acts
passed by congress last year.
The court held that the govern
ment had no right to levy or collect
taxes to finance the rail pensions
and invalidated as 'mseparable" a
companion tax measure providing
for payment of the pensions.
Both acts were passed last year
under the sponsorship of the adj
ministration and with the support
of railway labor leaders after the
United States Supreme court had
held unconstitutional the 1884 rail-
way retirement act. They were de-
signed to meet the high courts OBJ
jections.
One of the measures involved
levies upon railroads and an excise
tax of three and one-ha1f per cent
-'of the compensation not in excess
of $500 per month paid to its en-
ployees." Workers would have paid
a three and one-haf per cent in
come tax upon their wages not in

Max Failed to Press
18th Round Advantage

He also was ahead in the fourth,
having handed out some tidy two
handed punishment during the in
fighting, when disaster overlook
him. Schmeling, who says that he
became confident of victory during
the third round, missed with a
right. Louis came close. Schmeling
slashed with a right.
The Bomber went down. While
the audience was gasping, scarcely
daring to believe, he was up. But
from then on, even though the me-
thOdical Max was too shrewd or
cautious to follow up as would a
Dempsy, Louis was a beaten man.
Even though he fought back de-
terminedly, even desperately at
times, it is more than probable that
Louis has little coherent memory of
what happened while he was losing
the rest of the rounds. Six times,
once Immediately after having been
warned by the referee, he landed
with his right below Schmeling's
belt. He backed away, reeled at
times. At other times, he was all
too eager to collapse into clinch.
Coming out of his corner for the
tenth his m0uthpiece was awry. He
fumbled at it, did not seem to know
what to do.
AS it was, what by now seemed
inevitable did not occur until two
minutes had elapsed in the twelfth.
They had been in a clinch. Schmel-
ing Strengthened up the Bomber
with a left to the chin. Then the
German, whose left eye had been
closing tighter and tighter since it
collided with a jab in the third
round, shifted for better view.
Having trained his sights, he land
ed with a right and then a success
sion of lefts and rights. Louis
backed up, was forced against the
ropes. The bombardment of rights
continued. Louis staggered. An
other right. He reeled into the
ropes, got tangled in them much as
Pauline Uzcudun did at the Garden
last December.
Schmeling stood there, his right
hand poised for another shot. It
was not needed.

top faster than any heavyweight of
modern times, fought a good fight.
1t merely happened that in his
first real test against man who
could take it and hit back he did
not have quite enough. Since such
a possibility had been family hint
ed at by sports reporters, unwill-
ing to further offend the better
judgment of their editorial depart
ment comrades, his downfall need
not be considered a catastrophe.
Joe, undoubtedly, was in the best
of shape when he shuffled out for
the first round. As usual, when not
facing a Levinsky or a Retzlaff, he
was somewhat slow i'm opening up
his opponent. But, even though he
is strictly a counter puncher and
was thus handicapped when Schmel-
ing made him lead far more than
usual, he scored repeatedly with
left jabs. So he won the first three
rounds, even though they were close
and far from thrilling.

the administration record in the
past three years and present a
united front in the coming cam
paign characterized the convention.
The abolition of the two-thirds
rule for the nomination of candi-
dates was one of the significant
achievements. This rule, which
has been in use for more than 100
years, was superseded by the adop-
ton of the rules committees report
recommending that at future con-
ventions only a bare majority be
required for nomination. While
some southern and the eastern and
western states opposed abrogation,
they were reconciled to it by the
committees recommendation that
changes be made in the apportion-
ment of delegates.
The platform pledged continu-
ance of soil conservation, benefit
payments to farmers, a sound cur
rency, a balanced budget and a
constitutional amendment if neces-
sary, to achieve the party's broad
social program. It praised the ac-
complishments of the New Deal in
a preamble, declaring that it
planned to continue them in the in
terest of the nation. The platforms
keynote was that the Roosevelt adj
ministration has put and will keep
the nation con the road to recovery
and prosperity"
+ Regarding the Constitution, the
platform declared that while the Re-
publican platform proposes to meet
national problems by action of the
separate states, the Democratic
party recognizes that minimum
wages, maximum hours, child Ia
Dor, monopolistic and unfair bust
ness practices, dust storms, drouth
and floods could not be handled by
states. It stated:
eff these problems cannot be
effectively solved by legislation
within the Constitution, we shall
seek such clarifying amendments
as will assume to the legislatures
of the several states and to the
congress of the United States each
within it proper jurisdiction, the
power to enact those laws which
the state and federal legislatures
within their respective spheres
shall find necessary, in order ade-
quately to regulate commerce, pro-
tect public health and safety and
safeguard economic security. Thus
we propose to maintain the letter
and spirit Of the Constitution.
In addition to soil conservation
and benefit payments, the farm
plank pledged the Democrats to
financing share-croppers and ten
ants in buying lands; favored COM
modify loans on farm SURPRISES
and retirement of ten million acres
of submarginal land from produc-
ton and rural rehabilitation.

The Truth About Golf

There has been so much mys-
terry, bunk and high pressure
craftsmanship surrounding golf
that many a would-be golfer has
hesitated to take it up, and many.
who have taken lessons have soon
struck snags which have hindered
their pleasure in the game. 1t
is true that golf is a game you
cannot learn by yourself, because
there is no such thing as a "born"
or natural golf swing. But
there is so much health and pure
enjoyment to be had out of fair
ly well-played golf that it is worth
while making the few sacrifices
the game demands.
There are some things the hui
man being does naturally, such
as walking, running, striking with
the right hand, throwing or catch
ing a ball. Other things, like the
golf swing, are unnatural; there
fore the muscles must be trained
and set in those unnatural chan
nels. Golf players call it "groov-
ing, a swing. And there are
simply no short cuts to it. Only
one thing will "groove" a muscle
so that it performs an unnatural
action naturally, and lat is prac-
tice, practice and more practice.
The whole hubbub about golf
revolves around the fact that hui
man beings are lazy They don't
want to work for their fun, and
practice is work. They are for
ever looking for short cuts, or
easy ways to learn. Paul
Calico .in Cosmopolitan.

Strikes in Provinces
Continue French Unrest

DERSISTENCE of strikes in the
provinces kept France in a state
of unrest. A gain of 225, 200 new
members was reported by the gen.
eral confederation of labor, organ
lied labor's official body.
Altogether it was estimated that
100000 workers were still absent
from their jobs, in spite of reports
of strike settlements in scattered
sections throughout the country.
The French Riviera witnessed a
general exodus of foreign tourists
from $50 hotels and resorts follow
ing lockout by the proprietors.
The hotels were closed indefinitely
after the employers declared they
could not meet workers demands for
more pay and shorter hours. This
retaliation by the owners against
the threat of a workers strike up
set the summer tourist season, one
of the most profitable to the French.

international Conference
Seeks Mediterranean Peace

MEETING in Montreaux, Swift
A'A erland, an international con-
ference sought settlement of mill
tary and naval problems in the
Mediterranean. The conference had
been called by the powers as a re-
suit of Turkeys request to fortify
the Dardanelles, which were demil-
itarized under the Lausanne treaty
of 1928.
The possible threat of Russia's
growing naval strength caused an
alignment of the British and Jap
anese. Japan announced it was
willing to accept any limitation on
Japanese warships authorized to
enter the Black sea, providing SINH
lar restrictions were placed on Rus
sian warships leaving it. Britain
was believed to be supporting ia
pans position.
Russia demanded free westward
passage of warships and subma-
rines out of the Black sea through
the Dardanelles, adding she was
unable to see why other powers not
bordering on this body of water de-
sired unlimited passage to it.

production control, rental and bene-
fit payments was 81, 1865, 1000, 900 in
1882, the year before the AAA be-
came operative. For 1885 it was
81, 593, 1000, 900.
The report pointed out that cash
farm income from all other prod
ucts increased in the same period
from $3,012, 100000 to $4,307, 900, 900.
Mr.. Davis, who was recently ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt to
the Federal Reserve board, de-
clared that cash available for living
expenses, taxes and interest from
farm cash income was the highest
in 1885 since 1929, and two and one
half times greater than it was in
1882.
Under the AAA, the report sets
forth, rental and benefit payments
accounted for one-fourth of the in
crease in all cash farm income
from 4,377 100000 in 1882 to &c.
100000 in 1885.
