BEVERLY, BURNED, TO
BE RESTORED, REPORTED

Historic old Beverly, three miles
south of Princess Anne, may be re-
built soon IL the walls were not too
seriously damaged in the fire that
skeletonized the large residence, No
vember 10.
The owner, William Perry, came
down from New York to view the
ruins last Sunday but did not discuss
plans for rebuilding at that time. The
thick walls of the old brick mansion,
including the brick partitions, are still
standing, but have not been investi-
gated to determine whether they were
seriously damaged by the heat.
Mr.. Cooper expressed the belief the
fire originated from one or two
sources: that it was started by an in
truder, or from a short circuit. To
his knowledge no one had been inside
the house since the previous Wednes-
day and access could be gained only
with difficulty. He added also that
the wiring was installed years ago
and they had experienced no trouble
with it.
The loss was only partially covered
by insurance, he said.

NANTICOKE INDIANS
PASS UP THANKSGIVING

The annual pow WOW usually held
about Thanksgiving by the descend
ants of the Nanticoke Indian tribe,
from which the Nanticoke river Of
Maryland's Eastern Shore derived its
name was abandoned this year in IA
vor of larger rally with other tribes
next summer.
The pow WOW for several years has
been an annual event at Riverqale,
in lower Sussex county, Delaware, the
home of their chieftian, Little Owl,
and his mother, the 80 year old dow
ager Princess Sog WOW.
Chief Little Owl left last Saturday
to take part in the harvest festival Of
the Chickahomneys near Richmond,
where arrangements were made for
the program in the summer of 1888,
expected to be the largest and most
interesting of the series.
Through the aid of DR.. Frank G..
Speck, University of Pennsylvania an
thropologist, the Nanticoke Indian AS
sociation was formed and ever since
remnants of the once powerful tribe
have gathered on the pine bordered
river banks to, perform the classic
dances and tribal ceremonies.
The Indians, garbed in the buck
skin and the feathered and beaded
headdress, handed down from genera
tion to generations, attract hundreds
of visitors including anthropologists
from the East and Middle West.
Two centuries ago the larger part
of the Nanticoke tribe migrated to the
Dominion of Canada where they join
ed the Six Nations.
Before being admitted into the AS
sociation members, who zealously pre-
serve their racial integrity, must pass
stringent rules.

There is room for much difference
of opinion-room enough to park
couple of zeppelins-about the
wisdom or otherwise of the pend
ing administration bill to set mini
mum-wage and maximum-hour
standards in American industry.
But one thing is quite certain.
The hearings which go with the bill
will be about as useful course in
elementary education as the Amcri-
can people could we'll ask for.
Before Congress can decide on
this bill. it must go into the whole
quetion of what our tabled Ameri-
can standard of living looks like to
the wage-earner in the lower brac-
ketS. If. as the President has said,
third of our population is ell
nourished, ill-clad and ill-housed,"
we ought to know about it. Then
whether the administration bill
passes or is defeated-we shall at
least know just where we stand.
In 1929. according to the Brook
ingS Institution. nearly 100000
American families-better than one
family in every five-had incomes

below $1,000 a year. Some l2.00O.000
American families had incomes be-
low $4,000 a year.
A Washington correspondent re-
Gently took these figures to DR.
ISador Lubin. US. commissioner of
labor statistics, and asked him just
what income of that size mean. How
does a family get by in modern
America on less than $500 a year?
The average family in that income
group, said DR.. Lubin, spends about
a third of its income on food. That
means around So week for fam
lily of four. If that sum has to be
shaded very much, the family cam
not afford enough green vegetables,
fresh fruit and milk.
That same family will be able to
spend about 81 month, per person,
for clothing The head of the family
must make suit of clothes last
two or three years. Once in four or,
five years he can buy an overcoat.'
His wife must wear dresses that
sell at S5, or thereaboutS.
Then there is housing The family
will spend about $40 a month on
rent-a flat half double house, or
four or five-room frame house.
Fuel. light, ETC. will take Sis
month. In many cases there will be
no running water. Steam heat will
be a rarity. Electric refrigerators
will be almost unheard-of.
These expenditures eat up most
of the income. For the UNDERSTOOD
a-year family they eat up all of it,
and then some. The luckier family.
up near the $500 mark, will have
little money left-for medical
care, house furnishings. recreation,
education and savings.
Now this is not picture of COM
plete destitution--but it is pic
ture of bleak poverty which ill
accordS with our boasted American
standard of living. If these WASH
ington hearings, by adding to the
details of this picture. force us to
realize that even prosperous Ameri-
ca could very well do with a much
greater measure of prosperity than
it has ever had before, they will
be doing us great service.

Weak Sisters and Political Hacks :.
The Administration on the Spot :.
TUO Commissioners Quit -.

WASHINGTON. - Vacancies on two of the
most important of the independent federal COM
missions are forcing the administration to decide
whether it wants to abandon the habit of filling
such vital posts with weak sisters and political
hacks.
Herbert j. Drane is quitting the federal COM
mission and Irwin Stewart, in open disgust, has
left the Federal Communications Commission.
The Federal Power Commission, although
charged with regulation of electric energy in
interstate commerce, and although 1t is now
actively lobbying for the huge task OF supervising
and co-ordinating the Roosevelt program of
separating the country into eight regional devel-
opments along the line of IVA, is notoriously
weak.
The Federal Communications Commission is
commonly regarded here the New Deals hot
test hotbed of scandal 1t has supervision over
radio telephones, telegraphy, and teeviSion!
Although there is plenty of violent argumnt as
to the relative performances of other government
agencies under the New Deal few insiders in
Washington will argue with much heat that
the FEC has not put on as disgraceful a per-
formance as any.
