till recently, women aviators are
being trained. In Spain, where
masculinity has run wild for many
centuries, women are now fighting
side by side with their Loyalist
husbands and brothers. In Scot

is suing to be made head of the
MCLEAN Clan nothing to do with

has such doings been heard of. 1t
looks as if the land of the kits is
in for some rude awakenings. 49,.
Freedom of Labor and Women are
closely connected. When Russia
freed her workers, women were
liberated. When Germany and Italy
destroyed the trade unions women
were automatically suppressed.
When Labor rose to power in
Mexico, women shook off their re-
straints. Not only does malearchy
suppress women and labor and
sterlize the arts but minorities
suffer to the death under it. 1t is
the rule of the white male in the
South which penalties the Negro.
It is the Southern club woman who
has frankly come out in opposi-
ton to lynching. In the 1S5Os, the
abolitionists and the adherents OF
woman suffrage were in the same
camp.
1t is the wholly male-ruled coun-
tries of Italy, Germany and Japan
which now menace the peace Of
the world, which repudiate the
Brotherhood of Man, sterilize,
literature, corrupt science, scorn
truth, distort religion, laugh at
honor, uphold bloodshed, foster
hatred, encourage large families,
curtail education, suppress free
speech, destroy labor and keep
women in their places"

Boulder Dam
Officials Warned
Against Jim Grow

Los Observation-Disclosures
Edgar E. Long has been fired and
Ranger w. E. Lukens and other
Boulder Dam officials have been
instructed by Interior Secretary
Harold c. Ickes to "avoid any par
TALLY or discourtesy toward any
visitors" as the result Of an in
vestigation into the incident a few
months ago in which William
Pickens and a party of friends
were Disseminated against and ar
rested at the site of the federal
project in Nevada.
This action was revealed in a
letter written by Mr.. Ickes receiv-
ed by Mr.. Pickens on his return
here from Hawaii. The cabinet Of
fetal stated he had received
complete report of the happening,
occasioned by the attempt OF
Boulder Dam officials to make the
Negro group wait for jim crow
elevator service, ana expressed MS
regrets over the affair.
In his reply to Ickes, the n. A. A.
C. p. director of branches said he
was glad of the orders abolishing
jim crow and added he was con-
cerned about what happened to
him personally but was very
much concerned as to whether col

this great government plant in the
future will have the privileges and
the treatment of humans and citi'
zens. The step which you have tax

that result, and 1 am sure that the

TREASURY TO SELL
STAMP REMAINDERS
Demonetized "Tax-Exempt" Po'
tato Tax Labels Offered to
Dealers at Highest Bid.

Taking its cue from certain foreign
governments, the United States Treas
ury today offered one of its de-
monetized revenue stamp issues for
sale to the highest bidder.
Dealers in stamps for collectors were
offered the entire issue of tax
exempt" potato revenue stamps in a
circular just made public. Bids are to
close August 10.
The stamps are those designed to be
used on sacks of potatoes that would
not have had to pay the taxes levied
by the erstwhile potato control law.
They never were issued.
A few of the potato tax stamps
the stamps used on taxed potatoes
were sold in Florida and later the
Treasury sold them to stamp collectors
at face value.
Governments Of some countries
principally European and South Amer
lean, for many years have sold IRE
mainders stamps-of de-
monetized postage issues at auction
The practice is generally frowned upon
in philately, for it throws the varieties
on the market, usually at much lower
price, after collectors have bought them
in good faith at face value. The Treas
ury offering. while it applies to revenue
stamps only, is the first time in history
the United States has sold any re-
n1ainders.

SAN FRANCISCO ENTERS
SECOND WEEK AT PALACE
And Film Seems Destined to Run
Many More Before Crowds
Begin to Dwindle.

'In 1906 San Francisco was splen-
did, sensuous, vulgar, and rather mag
niflcent."
These are the words that flash on
the Palace screen as an introduction
to the M-G-M picture which is play
ing there a second week. These, too.
are the words best describing San
Francisco" a film which definitely is
one of Hollywood's finest achieve
ments In direction, photography and
sound.
Roget's Thesaurus having been de-
pleted Of adjectives to describe this
celluloid spectacle, cinema -goers need
not have peeked into a crystal to find
out whether San Francisco" would
linger on F street.
Clark Gable plays "Blackie" better
than he ever played anything-includ-
ing his 'Mutiny on the Bounty" role
Spencer Tracy nearly steals the acting
laurels in this show, and Jeanette Nc
Donald sings as she never sang with
Chevalier.
But the earthquake scenes deserve
the laurels. The earth probably never
shook, groaned and split open so yio-
lently except on an April night n
1906. 1t is a thrilling. terrifying Sc
quence which could not possibly have
been so effective without the aid OF

DR.. Townsend denounees Smith for
denouncing Father Coughlin for de-

Robert Taylor Is Answer to
Women Cinema Followers
Parade Down T st.

That large portion of Washington s
feminine populace which attends the
cinema has migrated en- masse to the
1900 block of F street. There sub
debs, tomboys and matrons storm the
welcome citadels of the Columbia
Theater. There the playhouse Is con-
verted into a minor sort of paradise
There the interior echoes from one
gigantic sigh There, too, few tears
plop down upon the upholstery and
onto the floor.
The obvious answer to this mass
puzzle in psychology is Robert Taylor.
No coquelin, Taylor is a competent
actor who (according to authoritative
sources) looks even handsomer than
Adonis on his best days.
The film is called Private Num-
ber," and has Miss Loretta Young
as its heroine, a great deal Of hokum
as its plot, and the better part Of
