STILL NO PEEK AT
DIvINE'S WEALTH

New York (C)-For the 'steenth
time, Father Divine successfully
eluded the searchers after his
worldly goods in Supreme Court
Tuesday. Divine answered ques-
tons about his money from coun-
sci for ex-Angel Verinda Brown,
seeking return of $4,000 allegedly
given the cult leader, as follows:
"The heavenly treasure, the way !
observe it, is an impersonal, i'm
material treasure Of the storehouse
of wisdom. In short, it's a store
house of principle" Divine left
court in Dusenberg.

Wages And Hours
Bill Unfair To
Negro Worker
Study Reveals Cost of Living
Higher Than In Parts
OF North

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE ar
gument that the cost of living in
the South is so low that lower
wages can be scheduled in the
pending wages and hours bill is not
based upon facts, according to the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of CoIored People, which
cited Department of Labor statistics
to prove that it costs almost as
much to live in the South as it does
in the North.
In fact, the statistics by the MA.
A.C.P. indicate that in some south
ern cities it costs more to live than
it does in Chicago.
The Associations objection to
the favorite argument of those who
want a wage differential inserted in
the pending bill was contained in q
letter to the New York Herald
Tribune December 6.
Issued by the Organization
There is a widespread notion"
the letter declares, shat a benefi-
cent climate and other natural adj
vantages permit southerners, both
white and colored, to live an idyl-
lie life at considerably less cost
than persons living in other Sec
tons of the country.
"This myth is completely explod-
ed by a recent study by the De-
partment of Labor. This study re-
veals that the cost of rent, fuel and
light is lower in the South but that
clothing, house furnishing goods
and other necessities are more ex-
pensive. =.
"For example, the index of the
cost of goods purchased by wage
earners and lower-salaried work
ers, as of September Is, shows that
the average for all items in Chicago
is S1.3, but in Atlanta the average
is $40; in Baltimore, 1872; in Jack
sonviIle, 82.4; in Norfolk, 86.9; in
Savannah, 1873; in Memphis, 82.9;
in Mobile, S5.1; in New Orleans,
S5.2.
"The cost of living in these va
rious southern cities differs very
little from that of New York
where the average is S6.7 and of
Washington where the figure is
1877, widely known as two of the
highest priced cities in the United
States"
The letter states that there is
opinion in the South, con-
trary to the views of the politicians,
that the South must have the bene-
fit Of differentials in order to exist.
The letter asserts that differentials
in favor of the South will mean not
a difference in cost of living 'fbut
in lower standards of living which
in turn mean higher morbidity,
mortality and illiteracy rates, low
er moral standards and other con-
ditions detrimental to the South
and to the country as a whole"

Monday morning" And yet even the
sentimental know very well that the
test of a house-party hostess is far
greater than that of one who merely
invites company to lunches or dinners
or other transient parties.
1t is not only proper. but necessary.
that a hostess be definite about the
length of time she expects her guests
to stay. "Will you come Friday the
tenth and stay until Monday" This
means from Friday afternoon until
Monday morning) Or "Will you
come on Friday the tenth for ten
days?" means until the second Mon
day. Sometimes hostess says to an
intimate friend: Come and stay as
long as you will" Such an invitation
has to be interpreted according to the
guests knowledge of the hostess.
There is an occasional root-taking
visitor who not only stays on how
ever long the spare room is empty,
but who. instead of departing when
Aunt Amanda and Uncle Jonathan
are coming on Monday. cheerfully
suggests doubling up with Auntie and
letting Uncle sleep on the porch. Or
else she volunteers to occupy the sun
porch, or the hosts study or the play
room So to you who are naturally
amiable. let me say that it is best for
your own protection to say firmly:
mo. couldn't let any one do that"
But let us consider the qualifica-
tions that the hostess. whom the
cynic would crown with more than
gold. is fairly certain to possess. Prob
ably her visitors come in their own
cars. But if they come by train or
boat, they must be met at station or
wharf by herself. if the visitor is a
woman. or by the host if the visitor

in the mail bag hanging on the rear
hall door will go out at certain hours
A shortcoming in many houses is
the lack of newspaper. 1t is curious
how often an otherwise thoughtful
hostess forgets to provide extra morn
ing papers for each guests place at
table, or each breakfast tray.
Very few American men are willing
to eat breakfast in bed. But when
women alone are visitors, the advan-
tage of having them breakfast up
stairs is that, no matter how long they
sleep. their breakfast does not inter-
fere with the housekeeping routine.
In my own house. at all events, the
setting of large breakfast table
would seem much more of luxury
than setting tray for one, and leav-
ing the visitor alone with breakfast
and the newspaper.
Apart from her attention to her
guests physical comfort, the perfect
hostess must give equal thought to
their occupation and diversion -
which of course differs completely
with different guests. If she invites
the Gaylings, she can hardly fill the
hours of each day too full, nor can she
fuss over the Cotton Wools too much.
But, on the other hand. she will wear
herself out to no purpose if she drags
Mary Molusk to party after party or
fuses over the Letmealones!
If we stop to think why we love to
stay with certain people. we will find
that at their house we are given a
great deal of freedom to do what we
choose. The best rule know of for a
successful hostess is to make the best
preparations she can for her visitors
pleasure, and having done that, let
her thoroughly take pleasure in their
visit and RELAX.

is man. The only reason why a
hostess might not 60 herself is that. if
other visitors are coming, it is impor-
tant for her to be at home when every
guest arrives at the house. Even an
intimate friend who has come often
before is apt to feel dispirited upon
entering an empty house.
On the other hand, it is very impor-
tant that he Tor she) be given an
empty room! Guests should NEVER
be asked to share a room unless told
about it beforehand, and even these
are limited to two girls, two boys, or
husband and wife.
There is only one exception. On an
occasion such as wedding, dance or
an intercollegiate athletic event,
young people don't mind, for one
night, how many are doubled, and
that house room is limited merely to
cot or sofa space.
The really thoughtful hostess makes
sure. by occupying the guest room her
self for at least one night, that the bed
is comfortable. that the sheets are long

WASHINGTON FEELS
COURT S|DESTEPPED
"a
Didn't Pass At All On Issue
At Stake in Challenges
by Citizens
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Oct. 16.-The United
States Supreme Court is generally con
sidered in Washington to have side
stepped the issue of Hugo L. Black s
constitutional right to seat on its
,sench.
New Dealers are glad that the court
did so. Many of them, however, con-
fidentially admit that the high tri-
bunal did dodge.
Two questions were raised:
/. Black voted,- as SENATOR, to per-
nit aged supreme justices to retire
on full pay, which they had not pre-
viously been permitted to do. Wasn't
this equivalent to voting for an i'm
crease in their emoluments? If so, It
is agreed that he was debarred from
accepting a position the emoluments
OF which he had voted to increase
2 When Justice Willis. Van Devan-
ter retired did his retirement create
an actual Supreme Court vacancy?
Legal critics draw a distinction be-
tween a retirement and resignation.
Resignation implies that the quitting
incumbent permanently is out. But
retirement, according to numerous au-
thorities, leaves him still subject to
recall, as an army officer remains sub
ject to recall, in emergency, from the
reserves.
Questions Unanswered.
The Supreme Court answered Meth
er Of these questions.
They were asked by two different
individuals:
Albert Levitt, former assistant at
torney general, and Patrick Henry
Kelly, a Boston lawyer.
The Supreme Court held that Meth
er Kelly nor Levitt had sufficient in
terest in the matter to entitle him to
be answered, or even to be listened
to argumentatively.
Where Matter Stands.
The Supreme Courts position, as
legalists interpret it, is that only one
person is entitled to answers to the
questions asked by Kelly and Levitt
