her life her desire was for precise knowledge;

CHRISTMAS BAGS
MADE FOR NEEDY

The task Of sewing together
1000 fancy bags to be filled with
Christmas presents and distributed
to needy children was launched
yesterday at the Central Union
Mission by nearly 100 members Of
the Women's Guild.
Filled with clothing, toys, candy,
books and fruit, the bags are dis
tributed by the guild annually,
and this year will be presented
by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt the
day before Christmas.
Before the presents are given, a
short entertainment will be pre-
sented for the children, who each
year apply to the mission for the
bags. Edward Degrout, chairman
o. the board, will explain the work
Of the mission, and its aims and
propectS. Mrs. William H. Ram
sey, president Of the guild, is
heading the work of sewing the
bags every Thursday at the mis-

is first it is based on the principle of public de-
ception and, second its psychology is aimed to
massage the public conscience into belief Ameri-
cans must get ready to sell their lives once more
on Asiatic or European soil.
The mobilization division Of the general staff
gives no hint as to whether these half-milhon
citizens would be sent across the oceans or kept
at home; it simply talks glibly Of "the field"
Where is this field? What's the mystery? Why
the effort to cheat the public again as it was
cheated 20 years ago?
Has Touch of Hun1Or
The scheme put forth does have its sardonic
hunor The idea calls for formation Of semi
military or civilian recruiting committees in Stra-
tegic sections of every State.
In other words, all the highest pressure propa-
ganda methods would be utilized to kid the
public into an offensive war. The old baloney
about making the world "safe for democracy"
would be dished out by our leading local high
mucka-mucks backed up by the cooper centers
who screech their rabblerousing incantations
from the housetops but always make good and
sure they're never the ones to find themselves on
the firestep in frontline trench with a rifle in
their hands.
The mobilization section of the general staff
would like to sell the United States people an
other bill for goods to get them to repeat that
godforsaken wholly unnecessary, nationruin-
ing, Misunderstanding mountaineering per
formance that marked the last war.
If these shores or this hemisphere are invaded
the general staff won't need any such plan.
If it is for war Of invasion in some other hemi-
sphere, then the public should be told-now.

heaven compared with the anxious European and
Asiatic capitals. Nevertheless, they do have to

Realizing fully that if he withheld the news
he would expose himself to blame for the affairs
of State that might go wrong, Admiral Grayson
decided the wisest course was not to alarm the
public 1t was brave, but hard decision to make
saw Cary Grayson often during his troubled
time and the man aged years in a few weeks
He would walk up and down the room saying:
Il am sure I'm doing right, but what horrible
responsibility for one man to carry"
Terrible Burden
Surely he must have been tempted at times to
throw that terrible burden off his own shoulders,
but his courage never faltered. He was certain he
was ready to take any blame which might fall
upon him, if his judgment proved to be wrong.
Admiral Grayson never spares himself when
duty calls him. He was just recuperating from a
serious operation last winter when the terrible
flood disaster occurred. Yet he unhesitatingly
plunged into his work as head of the Red Cross
and drove himself night and day. Through it all
he kept his innate sweetness and patience, which
made their jobs easier for everyone with whom he
came in contact.
The American Red Cross is fortunate to have
Cary Grayson as its chairman, because feel con-
fident there is no man better fitted to hold that
high office than he is.

BOWIE TO FILE
COURT APPEAL
FOR STUDENTS
Md. Group Pushes
Traffic Case

tOlloWlng q conference at upper
Marlboro, Md, today with more
than a score of University of Mary
land students, States Attorney
Alan Bowie announced he would
note an appeal from the decision
of Police Judge George B. Merrick
in the case of Lloyd L. Marcus,
Hagerstown (Md0 salesman, who
was acquitted Monday Of a charge
of assault and battery on Herbert
Baker, a senior at the university.
In the course of an hours dis
cussion the students, led by Ralph
Williams, assistant dean of men,
requested Bowie to authorize an
appeal Of the case on the grounds
that Judge Merrick refused to
grant a continuance that only
three of approximately nine wit.
nesses were permitted to testify,
and that the States attorneys
office was not represented at the
trial.
DOUBTS ACCEPTANCE
Bowie declared that there was
some question as to whether the
appeal would be accepted since it
might be interpreted as placing
a defendant in double jeopardy.
In event the case is lOeopened it
will be tried at the April term of
the Prince Georges county circuit
court.
CAMPUS TRAFFIC SCENE
The incident took place at a
campus intersection following the
Maryland-Fl football game
Saturday, where Herbert Baker,
a senior student and lieutenant
in the r. o. T. C. corps, had been
detailed to direct traffic.
According to testimony in the
case, which was heard before Po-
lice Judge George B. Merrick on
Tuesday, Marcus became impa-
tient at being detained by the stu
dent at the intersection and drove
his car into the intersection.
Baker jumped on the running
board and grasped Marcus by the
shoulder, it was said.
Witnesses testified that Marcus
stopped his car and, following
Baker to the intersection, struck
him with his fist, knocking him
unconscious to the pavement.
DULIN IS WITNESS
In letter written to Judge Mer.
rick by James c. Dulin. jr., treas
urer of the American Security and
Trust Company, of Washington,
Dulin stated he was an eye.wit-
ness to the incident and was the
first person to reach Marcus car
and prevent him from entering it
and leaving the scene"
Dulin's letter branded the de.
cision "a mockery to American
justice" He announced that he
was sending copies to Governor
Nice, DR.. H. T. Willis, mayor Of
Hyattsville, and DR.. H. C. Byrd,
president of Maryland University,
lin the hope that they may find
way to raise the caliber of the
person holding your position so
that citizens may feel that reason
able justice can be expected from
your court"

Chichester. Eng. (U.P) - One
of the most extraordinary houses
in England has Just been COM

The house is in a secluded cor
ner Of Chichester, and the builder
is Charles Tippen. a 72ycar-old
eX-sailor. lie has built the house
as a hobby
The eyaeriOr is a moss of mo-
sale work in which broken plates,
old bottles. tumblerS and such
things saved from dumps and in
ciney2tOrS are arranged. Some of
the 10 rooms have fireplaceS also
lavishly decorated with rubbish.
Every square inch is carefully
worked out. ColOrs are blended
harmoniouSly. From a distance the
rubbish gives the impression OF
rich marble.
Tippen draws out his designs or
a board. places the material in
and other junk. 1t does not matter
and then cemcnts them together
into a block. Hundreds Of these
blocks are stored away in readi-
ness for another house, because he
says the present one is only an
experiment.
Tippen gets up each morning at
5 o'clock and visits the dumps
and rubbish heaps in the district,
