Hello Everybody:


Hello Everybody:
You are all probably engaged in
Thanksgiving festivities so won't
be expecting a long epistle from
Sal this week. In fact, the femmes
are busy running down mince pie
recipes while the men are busy
ducking creditors.
Notes from the Minnesota Iowa
Juniors, the latest and most prom
Using club of the Twin Cities: This
club has some of the best educa-
tional and social features of any
club we know. The members ?
Well, they have some of the most
popular young folks in town. If
you promise not to tell a soul, I'll
let you peep into the clubs last
meeting. Saw popular DICK
MANN (who, by the way, is the
president) welcoming new men,
bers into the club. H. A. w. was
around somewhere in the room
watching her love light. (You
don't know who her 81. l." is? Just
come to the clubs next meeting
Nov. 18th and you'll see for your
self.) And you should have heard
the plans for the Christmas holi-
days. Just let us see some more
of you popular and non-popular
folks out Nov. 10th. The Mime
sota-Iowa Juniors guarantee you a
good time.
What Minneapolis gal is crazy
about a rawther handsome boy who
rooms at ALICE SHORTS home?
NORM Light would like US
to check the rumor that is going
around that he's planning to take a
trip to the altar with a certain st.
Paul gal. Norm says he doesn't
intend being sour old bachelor all
his life by any means, but, at the
present time, marriage is sorta out
Of the question.
Did you know: JUNE HAW-
KINS, our popular young singer, is
going to have her tonsils taken out
soon? .. What Minneapolis gal
says she is keeping her B. F. on
the string until after Christmas
cause she wants that Bulova? d.
What st. Paul gal about town says
she is afraid she will soon be tried
for homicide for every time she
sets eyes on a certain young man
she is afraid she will hug him to
death?
Highlights on the College Wom-
ems Tea last Sunday at the Ster-
ling Club: The tea was really de-
ightful. 1t wasn't one of those
boring affairs. Everyone seemed
to be enjoying himself, whether it
was slipping tea, talking with
friends, or listening to music. Saw
MIL BOHANON who looked so
well that I had to look at her twice.
Say, Mildred, I want to see your
young son one of these days. I
know he's a dear. { can hear Leo
sayin' now, "a dear? Of course he
is. He's the spittin' image of his
old many -. The happy
ADOLPH THOMAS came in just
as / was leavin'. The PAUL
CURRYS seem to be quite happy
these days. Did you notice? {.
RACHEL JAMES looked very
sweet in a blue outfit. -. Charming
FRANCES BROWN was sorta the
official greeter at the door. &.
Saw STERLING DOVER giving
the guests the once over. I can't
imagine whom he was looking for,
can you? BENETA Ed
WARDS rendered swell piano
solo. THERESA JAMES looked
sophisticated in her swanky fur
coat. LOUISE CARMICHAEL
looked stunning in brown velvet.
. Smiling ANN HoRRIS was at
tractive in black velvet trimmed
in white lace. EDWARD
STALLINGS, the young man with
that too mellow voice, sang two
songs for the guests. =. Saw
LORD BYRON DOTY making a
rather hurried entrance. (How

rather cold outside.) I.
MYRTLE GARDEN and RUTH
BROWN were some of the promi-
nents present.
Well, this is a good one. Just
read of a boarding house in the
Twin Cities that has put up sign
charging extra to all boarders

tend to build up artificial appetites.
So, be careful, folks.

OVERS RENEW
FUND PLEA

Striking members Of Local No.
1877, Laundry Workers, Cleaners
and Dyers Union, were to take
their plea for a special emergency
relief fund bestowal before the
District Commissioners today fol
lowing refusal Of the Public Wei
fare Board yesterday to entertain
their request for regular relief
money grants to families Of the
men, now in their third week of
unemployment.
Board Chairman Elwood Street
pointed out to union representa-
tives that the funds he controlled
were to be administered to "un.
employables" only and that he
did not consider strikers in that
class.
Meanwhile, cheered by the pros
poets of strike fund contributions
from 80 Washington inter.trade
unions which voted to support the
strike, union officials declared
they would not capitulate to plant
owners offers Of an adjusted scale,
but instead would insist on signed
contracts meeting their demands
for a 40-hour week and a minimum
wage of $18 a week with time and
a half for overtime.
Alleged police interference with
strikers at the Aristo, Vogue, and
Rubenstein plants was charged in
a telegram sent by union support
ers to a meeting called last night
by the Retail TailorS Association
in Pythian Temple.
The group talked Of opening
their own wholesale cleaning plant
if their committee fails to per.
suade owners to accede to union
demands soon. The retailers have
been withholding work ordinarily
sent to affected plants out of sym.
pathy for the strikers, and that
work has piled up to the point
where speedy disposal is impera.
tive, the group was told.

rather than surrender custody
Of her two small children to
their father, returned to her
home in West Haven, Conn, to-
day, victorious in a divorce suit
that gives her permanent custody

Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
in United States District Court
yesterday awarded Mrs. Murray
a limited divorce decree against
her taxicab-driver husband, Ray
C. Murray, Of the 1900 block
Kenyon st. N. w., after two days
Of hearing testimony.
The young mother was cited
for contempt last February
when she refused to comply with
an order of Justice F.. D. Let's
directing her to return the chill
dren to the District Of Columbia.
She said she feared her husband
would hide them from her if
they were returned here and the
jurist then signed an order
committing her to jail.
She left the city before the
order was executed, and re-
turned Monday for hearing Of
the divorce suit. Disposition of
