SUFFRAGEF0RD.C.
0NLEACUE AGENDA
Woman Voters List It as One
of Aims in Proposed Pro-
gram for Convention.

National representation for the Dis
program of work for the National
League of Women Voters, Miss Mar
guerite Wells, president of the organ
ization. announced today in listing the
objectives of the league as prepara-
ton for the biennial convention in ST.
Louis, to be held April 25 to 29
Federal suffrage for the District has
been on the program of the national
group for a number of years. Local
members of the league, with whom
national representation is a major
issue. will be backed by the national
group when the proposed legislation
for the measure comes up for hearing
in Congress.
The league again proposes to strive
for qualified personnel in Government
service and opposes discrimination in
public employment based on sex or
marital status.
Although the proposed program
stresses opposition to the equal rights
amendment now pending in Congress-
and similar blanket types of legisla-
tion," an objective of the league to
be discussed at the convention will
be legislation improving conditions of
work. wages and hours for woman
workers; removal of remaining legal
and administrative determinations
which prevent women from having an
effective equality with men; and jury
service for women.

CEALED letter reading has been used

SEALED letter reading has been used
by mediums for many years. When
the face Of an envelope is rubbed with
3 sponge soaked In alcohol the paper
becomes transparent, and the medium
can read the question inside. "
There is another form Of sealed
letter reading in which the medium
holds up an envelope containing q
genuine question but answers a cues
ton written by confederate. Then
he tears open the genuine envelopes,
reads of the confederate's question
aloud and at the same time glances
at the real question which he holds
In his hand. Thus he learns some
body's question.
He holds up another envelope and
reads aloud the question which he has
just learned, at the same time glancing
at the new question. As he finishes
reading each question aloud he holds
the slip Of paper so his audience can
see it. and calmly says: There is
your question, is 1t not?" The person
who wrote the question is seated too
far away to observe that the medium
Is showing him question written BY
some one else, and takes the mediums
statement in good faith.

As Gwendolyn likes to write and is

favorite bit of her writing published
Her second thrill came when she

the diary appeared to Albert Payson
Terhune, dog lover and writer. Mr..
Terhune, who had previously written
to Gwendolyn after she had visited
his Sunnybank Collie Kennels in New
Jersey, acknowledged receipt Of the
diary and gave her suggestions to
improve her writing. He also sent her
an autographed copy of one Of his
books.

ing Of school.
In addition he has received orders
for as many more, II he can NIL them.
Thomas has been doing wood work
OF one sort or another as long IS he
can remember. he said. but he never
thought much about selling any Of his
handiwork.
Then this summer, while attending
the woodshop at Eliot Community
Center. he happened to make q
checker board table for his own use.
When completed, the table, which
has very graceful lines, could be used
as an occasional table as well as for
games. 1t has . tilt top and the
checkerboard effect was made by set
ting in small squares Of walnut and
fir in alternate spaces.
Thomas took the table home and it
made an instantaneous hit" with the
neighbors who saw 1t. Before the
week was up, folks were sending in
orders for tables like it and Thomas
has his vacation outlined for the rest
Of the summer.
Though the first table required
about three weeks to make, mass pro-
duction methods will enable him to
complete the others in half the time
per table, he estimates.
He attributes some Of his good for
tune In receiving % many orders to
the fact that he lives in a new devel-
opment where many people have not
yet completely furnished their homes.
His address Is $40 Eighteenth street
NE
The craftsmanship which Is re-
quired to make one of these table
however. was not developed in a
single summer.
Thomas has had home workshop
for . long time. he said, and has
made a number of useful articles.
His work this summer has included
a large settee for the garden, made
from crate lumber Mounted on roll
lers at one end and equipped with
handles on the other, the piece can
be easily moved from one spot in
the yard to another.
The framework for the settee was
completed within three days, Thomas
said.
A large mattress and cushions
covered with oil canvas did not take
long to make. and the settee has been
a boon to the family during the hot
weather
Thomas hobby is making gas model
airplanes. After he graduates from
Eastern High School, where he will
be a senior next year, he plans either
to 60 to Wilson Teachers College or
to study aeronautical engineering.
