LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Praises Doughtoh

DEAR MADAM:-On November
3, 1886, the citizens of the Ninth
Congressional District will again
have the opportunity to vote for that
distinguished statesman and leader
of democracy, the Honorable Robert
L. Doughton. I feel sure that every
voter of our district will welcome
this opportunity to show his love
and appreciation for Farmer Bob"
and his able representation.
During his long period of service
in the House of Representative Mr..
Doughton has won the respect and
admiration of all who know him. His
extensive knowledge of national af-
fairs and his unexcelled abilities
have led to his being recognized as
one of the most outstanding and i'm
portant men in Congress. He has
been, and is, trusted adviser of
our great President, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and he has fully earned
this confidence and trust by his en-
ergetic leadership and constant sup
port of the Presidents plans for
overcoming the economic and social
problems which have confronted
this country AS chairman of the
powerful Ways and Means Commit

tee it has been his arduous respon-
sibility to steer such measures

son who reads this letter appoint

his precinct casts his vote on Mo-
vember 8 for President Franklin D..
Roosevelt and Farmer Bob" Dough-
ton. Let's show our esteem and faith

The Honorable Clyde r. Hoey,
Democratic candidate for Governor
of North Carolina, was the house
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. George B.
Doggett the first of last week when
he filled a speaking engagement at
the courthouse in Jefferson. Mr..
Hoey, a resident of Shelby, is a
friend of long standing of the Dog
gett family who were originally
from Shelby.
DR.. B. E. Reeves, county campaign
manager for Mr.. Hoey in the recent
primary, was invited to a dinner
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Doggett in
honor of their distinguished guest

people had was a few buttons and
that when he became President he
sewed some shirts on them. Now he
infers that the public is mad be-
cause he didn't do the washing.
Twenty million more to register

II there will have to be some cradle
snatching as well as grave-robbing
Roosevelt should be able to Gar
ner some votes while Landon Knox

Suspended judgment: You shall
hang by the neck until you are dead.
There are no ghosts, but the
trouble is we don't find it out until
the ghosts are through with us.
When you feel like you don't rank
with other people it may be because
you are ranker.
I think the Indian tribes will be as

That is what keeps the country in a

STRICT STANDARDS
HELP HOME BUYER.
Adherence to Restrictions
on Building Termed Add
ed Protection.

Strict adherence to property stand
ards in the construction Of new
dwellings provides added protection
for the home buyer today, in the
opinion of Miles L. Colean, technical
director and head Of the large scale
housing division Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. IA
It does not mean, he explained, that
houses are made more costly or that
home building Is discouraged as q
result of the Federal Housing Admin
istration's insistence on minimum
property standards in homes financed
under the provisions Of the insured
single mortgage system.
Property standards are simply an
effective weapon in the treatment Of
the problem Of jerry building" he
said. There is nothing in our
standards that any reputable builder
would not employ Of his own volition.
They were carefully designed with
the small house in view and 1t may
be confidently said that houses meet
ing these standards can be produced
in nearly any part Of the country for
81 500 or less. This certainly does
not prevent the small wage Garner
from enjoying the benefits of home
owning
These requirements are extremely
modest, but, SO far as they go, they
do offer to this home investment
some assurance that a family's life
savings will not be destroyed by
thoughtless or unscrupulous devel-
opers. We seek to avoid the type of
exploitation which has resulted in
selling homes removed from schools
and market centers, stranded an to

FAIRFAX BUILDING
PERMITS ADVANCE
Jump of More Than 800 Per
Cent Over February Shown
by March Figures.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


FAIRFAX, Va, April 1l.-Sky-
rocketing to a new high, building
permit values in Fairfax County dur
ing the month of March showed
Jump of more than 800 per cent over
the month of February, figures just
released from the Office of County
Commissioner of the Revenue James
U. Kincheloe reveal.
From total of S16,750 in building
permits issued in February, the
amount climbed to $72100 in March.
Likewise, the March figure is more
than twice as great as for both the
months of January and February to-
gether, the total for the former month
being Sl4,600. Permits aggregating
SlO3,45O were issued during the first
quarter of the year.
In the same connection recordations
for the first quarter OF 1885 are 2O4
ahead of the same period in 1885, the
March report of County Clerk John
M. Whalen shows. For the first three
months of 1885, there was a total OF
573 deeds and trusts recorded, against
TIT for the similar period this year.
Starting with 275 recordations in
January, the figure dropped to 2l3 In
February, but for the month just
ended climbed to 289. exactly 40 over
March, 1885, when the number was
24O
Considerable interest in real estate
circles in the county also has been
evinced recently to a proposal made
by representatives of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commls-
sion to the Board of Supervisors that
if the county can cancel certain de-
linquent taxes owed by the Joseph
Letter estate, the estate will in turn
give to the Park and Planning Com
mission approximately 100 acres over
looking the Potomac River near Lang
ley for another link in the proposed
George Washington Parkway, extend
ing on the Virginia side from Mount
Vernon to Great Falls.
The tract is about three-quarters OF
a mile from the Chain Bridge Fairfax
road, a section of which was originally
constructed by the late Joseph Letter
While favorable to the proposed
proposition, board members will take
no action until the legal status of the
question is entirely cleared up.

Fruit stains on favorite linen can
easily throw whole household into

If prompt and correct measures are
taken, according to Miss Helen Shelby,
colthing specialist for the University
of Maryland Extension Service. The
important thing Is to remove the
stains while they are fresh and, in
many instances, this may be accom-
plished by simply pouring boiling
water through the stain from a
height of to feet. Soap should
never be applied, as it has a tend

General John J. Pershing, now Is
years old, has had perhaps the most re-
markable career of any American soldier
of his generation, and although retired
from the Army since 1924 is still active as
chairman of the American battle monu-
ments commission.
Born in Linn County, Missouri, he was
graduated from West Point in 1886, gain
ing his first actual battle experience the
same year in the Apache Indian campaign
He served in the Sioux war of 1890-91; in
the Santiago campaign of 1898, and dis
tinguished himself in successful campaigns
against the Moros in the Philippines, for
which he was promoted from captain to
brigadier-gene
He commanded the expedition sent
into Mexico in pursuit of Villa in 1916,
and at the outbreak of the World War was
placed in command of the American Elk
peditiOnary Forces in France. For his dis
tingushed services in the war he was made
General of the Armies of the United States
rank created for him by Congress in
1919. He also received the highest mill
tary decorations from all the Allied ma
tons.
General Pershing's life has been
marked by many hardships and at least
one:great sorrow. His wife and three chill
dren were burned to death in a fire at the
PreSidlo of San Francisco on August 27,
1916 while he was absent from the post
on duty. Mrs. Pershing was the daughter
of Senator Warren of Wyoming.
During his long career General PERISH
ing has served his country with extra
ordinary distinction, and his fellow citi-
zens will wish for him many more years in
which to enjoy the well-earned honors
which have been bestowed upon him.
