muddle the special session.
For instead of considera ton OF
Ennis and Curran's suggestions for q
relief tax, the irate House of Dele
gates took time out to listen to Bit
ter attack on the trio.
White Leads Attack.
The castigation, lead by Delegate
John S. White of Prince Georges
County, denounced Bruce for inter-
fering" and Ennis and Curran for
proposing tax program"
Bruce left Annapolis shortly before
midnight, openly expressing his dis
gust at the reception accorded what
he termed an effort to be of assistance.
He was particularly incensed at the
attitude of White.
Today the Senate and House were
still cropping about for some means of
raising $l,000,000 to complete their
relief programs as the special session
swung into its second week
Income Taxes Again.
Members of the Senate believed
they might find the answer in tax on
incomes, which was revived late yes
terday after being voted down in
formally the day before, or in taxes on
pin ball machines and mechanical
music boxes.
The house had nothing before it re-

self into a committee of the whole at
Mulllkln's suggestion late yesterday
afternoon.
The latter step was the first indica-
ton that the House would attempt to
shape its own course in the matter of
raising relief revenues. Previously it
had been content to stand by until
the Senate showed its hand.
Political observers said today the
change in the policy of the House, as
surlng the presentation Of two diff
ferent programs, might necessitate the
organization Of conference commit
tee from the Senate and House, there
by throwing the relief question into
an even more complex state than be-
fore.
The Senate, reversing itself for the
second time within as many days, ac-
cepted the proposal Of Senate Presi-
dent Lansdale G. Sasscer of Prince
Georges County for one-half Of l

Interest About the School

Again, we have failed to get a
football team organized Instead
of moping over that defeat, we
have taken advantage Of our op-
portunity and have started basket
ball. This gives us four or five
weeks practice before other schools
start preparations.
Our first practice was held on
Monday with forty-five boys re
porting. This is by far the largest
and best turnout for basketball in
the history Of our school.
This year we are trying to ar
range a schedule Of eighteen games
for both Varsity and Junior Vars
ity teams. Prospective new op-
ponents are Milford, Newark, New
Castle.
Mr.. Records will coach the Var
sity team while the Junior Varsity
team will be under the direction of
Mr.. Gebhart.
Pocket-siZe schedules will be
printed and distributed this year to
all who are interested in our team.

When the Blue Meets the Gold


On Thursday, the twenty-frst,
the girls Blue and Gold teams
competed in a game of field hockey
during the intramural sorts period.
The teams were very well chosen,
with Margaret Crossley as the Blue
CAPTAIN and Harriet Hutchison as
the Captain of the Colds.
This was the first time a hockey
game has been played at Smyrna
School for several years and the
SPECTATORS displayed much interest
bv following the movements of the
game and by giving enthusiastic
wells and songs.
Each player gave his full sup
port to the team and several made
outstanding plays. At every OPP
portunity, Crossley would get in
the clear and carry the ball prac-
tically the length of the field, only
to be stopped by Hutchison's quick
plays. At times the players would
fall down or be hit on the shins, but
they would continue to play as be
fore. Only one injury was receiv-
ed, but it was not serious.
The teams were so well matched
that neither scored a goal. AS a
result each was awarded IL II
points, which now gives the Colds
a score of 100 and the Blues rs.

Immigration to the United States

The immigration to the United
States dates back to the time when
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
From that day on people from all
parts Of the world have been COM
ing to the United States to make
their homes. Cheap land, equal op-
portunities, the ease with which
any industrious man or woman can
make a living these were the
magnets which draw millions of
people across the Atlantic and Pa
cifc. There are other causes:
namely, the existence tof conditions
In Europe which encouraged the
people to leave.
Most of the immigrants settle in
the large cities with the idea that
work will be easier to find. In
stead Of settling in the district of
American people, they form sec
tlons of their own race and there
tney live with the same languages
and customs. 1t never occurs to
people to become American citi-
zens, even though they do live on
American soil.
Many difficult problems arose be-
lore our government for most of
the immigrants lived in unsanitary
conditions and worked for low
wages; this, in return, lowered the
american standard of living.
The United States has been
working to solve this problem for
many years, but they have not sue
ceeded, although they have limited
o one number of immigrants to 49,
ooo'OOO. This does not include the
Cnlnese and Japanese, as they are
forbidden to enter with the idea of
staying.
Inc immigration problem is diff
hcult' and will probably not be
solved for many years.

CHURCH FUND

An appeal for funds to replace
the small church building at
orchard and Poplar Streets, Ia
koma Park, Md, was issued today
by the Rev. Tillman R. Brady,
pastor of the Community Church
of that section.
The Rev. Tillman R. Brady ex:.
planned that the present made
ouate building could seat only 80
persons and that larger building
was badly needed. He also pointed
out that the present structure was
too hot in the summer to hold
comfortable services.
In making the appeal for funds,
the Rev. Brady explained that
contributions from outside OF the
immediate vicinity must be Sc
cured if the new modest building
is to be realized, since those sup
porting the church do not have
ample funds to contribute suttl-
GENTLY for a new building.
