you are people without country. Why don't you
buy a palace or a cottage somewhere, raise
chickens, and join the garden club. Live quietly
and let the world forget you until you have made

LUNCH FUND AID
VOTED BY union

A plea for funds for the school
children's lunch program last
night quoted dissension at a
meeting of the Central Labor
Union, 423 G st. N. w.
Members were discussing the
propriety of union members work
ing in establishments they are for
hidden to patronize. Complaints
were also made against union
bread and milk deliverymen carry
ing goods through picket lines.
After agreeing something should
be done about it, they disagreed
as to what to do. Interrupting
the discussion on a point of per-
sonal privilege, a woman arose
and appealed for funds for the
school children's lunch program.
After much applause, the union
voted to contribute $25.

PARENTS SEEK
FREE LUNCHES

Would Enroll New
Pupils for Food

Increased enrolment was the
result in one of Washington's pub
lie schools yesterday as parents
learned free lunches would be
served.
So eager were several parents to
feed their tiny children that they
sent them to school despite the
fact that they were too young to
be legally enrolled.
ALL TOO YOUNG
This unexpected situation de-
veloped at the S. j. Bowen School,
Thirteenth and K SITS. S. w., where
Miss Alys H. Ewers, principal, re-
ported several new children ap-
peared to be enrolled following the
announcement that free lunches
would be served.
Cali we're Of kindergarten or
first grade age, but were younger
than the legal minimum" Miss
Ewers explained. Their mothers
sent them to school just as soon
as the news came out that they
would be fed"
This situation is far from
unique Miss Ewers explained,
pointing out about one-third of the
schools pupils have filed requests
for free lunches. Although there
has not been time ito investigate
every individual case in this par.

mrs. EVaiyn Mclean dren, they know little OF the
excitement or thrills of the chase that make
their husbands jobs SO fascinating.
But they know long hours and days of des-
perate waiting, terribly aware every time the
clock ticks that at that very moment their
husbands may be the targets for blazing guns
Of hunted killers.
Agonizing Hours of Waiting
Yet they must never finch when after pre-
pairing for quiet weekend with their husbands,
the order comes for them to fly across the coun-
try to fight it out with band of gangsters.
The wife must turn away from the telephone
and, with gallant cheerfuness, send her husband

children who want to know when is daddy

Business Tax
Fight Plan
Studied

Fast in the wake of a denuncia-
ton by the District Commissioners
of the business privilege tax,
representatives of nearly two score
business, professional and trade
groups banded together last night
to fight for the death of the
unpopular levy.
A committee to formulate plans
for a permanent organization
was named by the group at meet
ing in the Hamilton Hotel.
METHODS UNDECIDED
The committee is composed of
A. Julian Brylawski, president,
Motion Picture Theater Owners
Association; Washington I. Cleve-
land, manager. District Motor
Club; Rufus S. Lusk. president,
Washington Taxpayers Protective
Association; Fairfax oyster, of
the Food Dealers Association, and
Dial Collins, of the Graphic Arts
Accociotion
The group discussed possible
means of fighting the tax-but
came to no definite conclusion
whether to carry their pleas direct
to Congress or to make attacks
before the Commissioners and the
Bureau of the Budget in the pre-
paration of the 1899 District
Budget.
NEXT MEETING NOV. 1
Another meeting of the group
was scheduled for November /,
when the committee on organiza-
ton will make it's report.
Sharp criticism of the business
privilege tax came from the
District Commissioners yesterday
as they discussed possible substi-
tute levies in the 1889 fiscal year
tax program.

'4O-HOUR LAW
HELD WAR DEBT
PAYMENT BAR
France Unable to
Settle, Claim

Enactment of 40-hour work week
laws in France have swept aside
any possibility of resumption Of
payments on the war debt to the
United States in the near future,
Maurice Duperrey, wealthy French
manufacturer and president of
Rotary international, declared
today.
II think France should have
resumed payments on her debt
to this country long ago, but
don't think she can do it now"
Duperrey asserted in an inter
view at the home of George B.
Harris, 3107 Woodland Drive.
MANUFACTURERS HIT
Reduction of working hours in
France was brought about too
quickly and as a result French
are finding it diff
cult to compete with rivals in sur
countries, Duperrey said.
Possibility of another World
War originating in Europe was
by Deperrey, who de-
clared Barking dogs never bite"
He pointed out that in 1914 there
was little talk of war until lit
broke like a thunderstorm"
Rotary International will be-
come a powerful influence toward
world peace as it continues to join
citizens of various nations with
q common band of understanding,
Duperrey said. He pointed to the
nonpartisan work being done by
Rotary to aid Spanish refugees
and added: ze-SE
when the war is over, Rotary
will have to take the lead in re-
uniting these fighting brothers"
VIEWS ON CHINA
Expressing his personal opinion
that "China is right and Japan is
wrong" Duperrey added that it is
for Rotary to take sides
in any conflict because it has clubs
in all natoins.
Leaving Paris in August, Du-
percy visited Rotary Clubs IN
nine South American countries.
He said:
ut was an endless round OF
banquets and confirmed my be-
lief that the greatest asset
Rotary president can have is
an iron stomach"
Duperrey's address before the
forum on 1.-THE Advancement OF
Understanding and Goodwill in
the Americas" at Memorial Cont
mental Hall today at 2:15 p. M,
was to be broadcast over nation
