SUFFRAGE SEEN
FOR D. c. IN YEAR
Wilbur S. Finch Predicts
Some Measure Soon
at Civic Meetinu.

Wilbur S. Finch, chairman OF the
District Suffrage Association, last
night foresaw some measure OF suf-
frage" for District residents within
another year.
Speaking before the Barry Farms
Citizens Association at the Barry
Farms Playground in the $500 block
Of Nichols avenue Sc. Mr.. Finch ex-
pressed the belief that both the peo-
pie and Congress have become suffi-
GENTLY awakened to the realization
that something ought to be done.
We must remember. however" he
warned, that it is not a question Of
what We want but what the members
Of Congress believe we should get"
Full enfranchisement, he added.
may not meet with the approval of
Congress. but definite progress is sure.
Arthur Bernstein. chairman of the
Civic Affairs Committee of the United
Federal Workers of America, also ad-
dressed the 200 persons present. de-
claring it significant that the suffrage
meeting was held on Labor Day
Labor has always tried to extend
suffrage to all elements of the popu-
lation," he asserted
Mr.. Finch also pointed out that the
fall meeting of the District of Co.
lumbia Suffrage Association will be

To keep abreast Of new ideas. a

day institute sponsored by the Amer
ican Red Cross.
Some of the ideas are almost stag
gering in their simplicity, yet thev
serve remarkably we'll. Here are few,
not necessarily new, but no doubt
overlooked by some nurses:
What to do for a crib for a family
with new baby? Tie two square-back
kitchen chairs together, facing with
the backs out; slip a one-piece cover
of cretonne or any other material with
pockets over the back of each chair;
sew on or otherwise fasten sides to it,
and for mattress place pillow across
the chairs. II this is too complicated.
Just place pillow or a softly folded
blanket stuffed in a pillow slip in an
empty bureau drawer.
For substitute for water bags:
A bag of salt or sand or even stones or
bricks can be heated in an oven and
wrapped with a cloth. For Ice bags: A

a rubber glove and even a bathing cap.
Contraptions to keep the weight of
blankets from sensitive part of the
body OF bedridden home patient can
be easily fashioned from barrel hoops,
!aths and a bit of adhesive tape.
Where an adjustable bed, that can
be elevated from either end, is not
available. stool, box or-if it need be
higher-a chair can be placed under
the end Of the bed.
A picture taken from the wall can
serve as bed tray; a piece of board,
with doorstops screwed in the corners,
makes good footstool
Slings for persons with broken arms
sometime hurt the neck when the cast
Is heavy. Why not cut off the upper
part of a kitchen apron, with shoulder
straps, stitch the bib" part into a
roomy sleeve and carry the arm that
way?
Modern home remedies for various
illnesses also are advanced at these
meetings. Some of the things the
nurses run up against in way of reme-
dies practiced by rural families are
astonishing.
For instance, some still believe q
tarred rope placed around the neck Of
q person with mumps will prevent the
ailment from spreading to lower part
Of the body. Others think smoke from
a corncob pipe will cure an earache If
blown into the ear The nurses, of
course, discourage these superstitions
and teach more practical methods.

c. I. o. Aide, in Radio Address,
Says 1T Is Absurd That We
Have to Make Plea

Thousands Of Labor Day celebrants
were back at work today after final
outings OF the summer season at beach
and mountain resorts. The weather
was generally favorable throughout
the holiday week end.
The observance OF Labor Day here
was almost wholly informal and fol-
lowed no program. Throughout the
day city parks were thronged. with
the Zoo drawing an attendance of
$4,000. Perfect September weather
drew additional thousands to picnic
groves within 50-mile radius Of
Washington.
Main highways were jammed, morn
ing and night, with almost continuous
streams OF pleasure vehicles and heavy
passenger traffic was reported by bus
lines, the railroads and air lines.
In Labor Day address here yester-
day over Station WJSV Sidney r.
Katz, secretary treasurer of the Mary.
land and District Industrial Union
Council, c. l. o. affiliate, urged.
among other things, the establish
ment IN Washington OF a form OF
democratic local self-government in
which those who are governed have a
voice in how they are governed"
The speaker added: 1T Is absurd
that in this day and age we in a demo-
cratic country should have TO make
this kind Of plea"
The new Congress will also have
to act on thoroughly good tax pro-
gram for the District" Mr.. Katz said.
adding that organized labor will op-
pose with all its strength any attempt
to impose any kind of consumer sales
tax here" He advocated corporate
and personal income taxes based upon
ability to pay.

Head of Parole Board Cites
Dangers Of Freeing Men
With "a Few Dollars
REVOLVING FUND
FOR LOANS ASKED
$40 Each, He Says, Would Help
and Often Save Man From
Falling Back to Crime.

The dangers to the community and
the injustice TO prisoners released
from Lorton with only a few dollar,
in their pockets and usually without
q job" were cited in a letter to Sem
ator King Of the Senate District
Committee. made public today by
Wilbur Le Roe, jr.
Mr.. Ia Roe is chairman of the
Parole Board and head of the Com
mittee on Civic Affairs of the Wash
ington Federation OF Churches, made
up Of . group Of 129 churches which
have joined together to launch a de-
termined drive to improve the condi-
tions Of prisoners while they are held
In prison and after they have been
released.
Pointing out that men automatically
refeased at the end OF their SEN
tences are given only five or six dol
lars and told to go their way" Mr.
La Roe proposed the creation of q re-
volving fund Of q few thousand dol
lars, possibly to be administered by
the Board OF Parole, which would
furnish released prisoners with a lit
tie more money and a better chance
TO successfully rehabilitate themselves
Invitation to Crime"
Mr.. La Roe emphasized. however
that his suggestions did not apply to
paroled prisoners. pointing out that
the Board Of Parole ordinarily does
not release men until jobs are avail
able for them" He referred, rather
to the men who are denied parole, in
cidentally "the more dangerous Grim
inals. who come out on the street au-
tomatically at the end of their SEN
tences. They need help more than
any other group"
Mr.. La Roe said he was convinced
that at least some of the money would
be paid back. 1T would be in the
nature of a loan" he declared. "Ar
average of even $40 per man woulc
help greatly and in many cases would
mean the difference between a new
start and falling back into crime"
Mr. La Roe praised the administra.
ton of Lorton. which he described
as modern prison where the mer
are treated like human beings, where
they are classified, taught trades
and every effort made to give them
better outlook on life" He warned
however, that in releasing men with
only a few dollars to start over, I'VE
are almost inviting these men to COM
init new crimes"
without Friends or Homes.
Citing the fact that more than 4Ot
men are released annually without
parole. Mr.. La Roe declared that many
of them are without friends or homes
and that the little money they have
disappears within few days. He
pointed out that it Is hard enough tc
get employment with a clean record
and that the released prisoners labol
under terrible handicap.
Mr. La Roe said today his letter
was just part of the program of the
Federation of Churches to improve
the situation as whole The churches
plan an active interest in the conditions
in the prisons and in the prisoners
themselves when they are released
furnishing every possible aid in gain
ing employment and obtaining another
start.
