Bank clearings in the Capital were
also better than year ago, s23, 729, ,652,
comparing with S23,159,494. Building
permits in the District reached S815.-
900 and included $4,000 public

the $342,900 total of the previous week.
Trade in the rest of the fifth reserve

Opening of the schools was noted as
an important factor in the decided
business upturn. In wholesale markets

Death Valley Scotty is broke

Albert M. Johnson, declared in Los
Angeles, this week.

owns, and he owes a lot of money"
said Johnson.
''He's over in Kingman, Arizona,
leading a parade or something in a
Jubilee. I have been informed he
made a statement there that he ow-
ed me million and half dollars.
give loaned him a good deal OF
money over 30-year period"
Scotty sent this wire to the Asso-
ciated Press today from Kngman:
Sheriff Graham and I led jubilee
parade here this morning. There is
not much other news. GAS to my be-
ing married, half the state of Nevada
knew it. That's no news.
Gin regard to Johnson holding my
notes for two million, that's no news.
Same about being broke and having
no property.
''Will give you some real news
soon."
Death Valley Scotty has been
prominently headlined recently be-
cause of the 80 million-dollar house
and swimming pool he has been
building.

100 Million For
Relief Is w anted
Huge Sum Said to Be Needed to
Give Work to Millions of
People Until July l

Asserting that "the tendency to-
ward a longer work week has had an
extremely important effect on re-
employment" President Roosevelt,
in letter to Speak Bankhead read
to the House Monday, asked Con-
gress for a deficiency appropriation
of $790,000,000 to provide work be-
tween now and June 80 for at least
2,580,000 persons, a net reduction OF
more than 100000 since last March.
The president, in the letter, re-
iterated the expression of hope in
his budget message that employers
would take as many workers as
possible off relief by giving them
jobs in private industry.
"Great assistance can be given to
the government" the President said,
eff all private employees in every
part of the country will seek insofar
as they reasonably can to obtain ad-
ditional workers from the relief
rolls"
A House appropriations sub-com-
mittee Wednesday began considera-
ton of the $79O,O0O,O00 appropria-
ton to finance recovery and relief
for the next five months. Harry L..
Hopkins WPA administrator, appear
ed to explain the Presidents request.
Western and other congressional
blocs planned campaign to increase
the amount to billion dollars, while
others on Capitol Hill were seeking
to reduce it.

Hungarian Says
He Has Worlds
Finest Mustache

John Kontra, 81, came forth from
his home in Hungary last week to
claim the worlds mustache cham
pionship-with 28-inch entry.
Stitched, the adornment measures
IA inches on each side. AS the crow
flies, however, each wing is about
eight inches.
That is because of its curl, the re-
suit of hours of lavish care. A rams
horn is best for this purpose, Kontra
said, and he spends hours plastering
the mustache along the curves of
the horn, using oil to make it con-
form.
The practice almost brought dis
aster The special oil wasn't avail
able one night as Kontra was getting
himself and the muStache ready for
bed. So he had to take oil from a
burning lamp in his stable.
Then he lighted his pipe. Flames
burst forth. One eye was badly hurt
but the mustache was unframed.
Kontra was taken to a hospital for
treatment. His rams horn went with
dressed his ailing eye but helped
him care for the jet-black mustache,
which flourished as it never had be-
fore.
Feminine conquests also have been
his, thanks to the mustache.
"The girls have always loved me-"
he says, by no means modestly.
"These present-day young fellows,
humpf-I don't think much of them!"
He adds. with those little skin
mustaches, which you can hardly
see, they're not even men!"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My boy friend and I have
agreed to consult you. We are
thinking Of getting married.
but we are terribly different.
even belonging to different races
and all that, and we can't be per-
fectly sure it would be a success.
My boy friend says: Whats
the difference?" Times aren't
the same, he tells me, as they
were in our parents day, and if
we don't make go Of it we can
easily get divorced. Nobody ex-
poets two people to be wild over
each other for a whole lifetime.
he says. So he thinks we'd bet.
ter try it, anyway.
I can't help being a little
scary, and I'd like to know what
you think about it, Miss Fairfax,
because nobody could say you
are old-fashioned in your point
of view. BABE.
All I can say, dear Babe, is that
if I we're in your place I should
want the young man I thought
of marrying to put a little more
heart into his love making. 1t
is true that it is no longer con-
sidered a disgrace or even a
calamity to have a divorce. If
anything, we have now swung
too far in this direction, and we
may take the idea of divorce a
little more lightly than we
should.
But in any case, it's time
enough to talk about dissolving
