Procurement Division declared
itself serious candidate for the
national amateur baseball finals
in Pittsburgh next month when it
defeated Fort Belvoir, 4 to 2, in
the first game of the city-wide
finals played on the South Ellipse
yesterday.
Walter johnson, former big
Train" of the American League,
threw out the first ball to give the
playoff an auSpicious start. The
tournament is expected to occupy
most of two weeks before local
representative for Pittsburgh can
be established.
TAKES LEAD
Procurement got away to a two
run lead in the third inning when
Jones home run scored Benner
ahead of him.
Fort Belvoir, meanwhile. backed
up Charlie RAINS superb pitch
ing with 8 hits, but failed to drive
across necessary runs. Charlie
struck out 13 batterS. In the
second, third and fourth innings,
Belvoir filled the bags but couldn't t
drive runs across.
It was the seventh lining before
Belvoir could compile a run, and
that only after Procurement had
added its score in the sixth. The
first tally for the losers came as a
result of SCOTS single, scoring
Smith.
FUTILE EFFORT
For Procurement, Lynch scored
in the sixth on a wild throw by
Second Baseman Baker. Firms
single in the eighth accounted for
the final Procurement run.
The soldiers made a futile eff
fort to catch up with Procurement
in the eighth, but were only able
to score one run. That came when
]. Smith crossed the plate on Bill
Lynch's tumble of Rhan's drive.

The youth, arrested on an in

of the Board of Pharmacy de-
clared, produce an intoxicating
effect even if mixed with coffee.

"How are things going, Bill?"
"A great injustice has come upon me-" was the
answer. They've taken me off the dole. Me, who
has lived an honest life looking after the children
while the old woman worked at her charrin'. Me
who has just passed the time away, smokin' me

kindly Of one and all. And now the government
has stopped my payments! Turned me loose like
a beggar on the streets"

your life to the cold-hearted villains!"

Mrs. Frank Simonds has personal anecdote
Of chocolate sundae that went on her new velvet
dress instead of the dessert plate. She promptly
wiped off the splotches well as she could. That
night she hung the dress in her closet, planning
to send it in the morning to the cleaners But
busy little mouse, a stranger to the household
saw the trail Of the dessert before the cleaner did,
When Mrs. SimondS looked at her gown the next

One shining example of the value OF such a
policy is Mccormick and Company OF Baltimore.
When Charles P. Mccormick succeeded the
founder in 1882, his first step was to impress
upon the directors, all middle aged or old, that
he proposed to set up junior board Of directors,

Committee Told to
Stay on Subject
Rx JULIA A. BONWIT

Declaring the House District
Committee is wandering far afield
in its investigation of the numbers
racket, Representative Jack Mich
OILS CD Of Oklahoma today recon-
mended that the committee "stick
to its knitting" in attempting to
smash numbers running here.
The committee, which has ad-
journed the hearing until Tuesday
morning, became involved during
it's two-day session this week in
far.flung discussions of all crime
in the District and Of the judicial
handling of criminal cases.
POINTS OUT ERROR
Mr.. Nichols also pointed out
that the committee was in error
in suggesting the possibility Of
calling the Judges of the United
States District Court for the Dis
trict to appear.
"This committee" he said,
"does not have the authority to
do that. If the judges are to be
summoned, the call must come
from the Judiciary Committee"
During yesterdays hearing, after
Mr.. Nichols himself had criticised
the court, Representatives Will
liam T. Schultz CD of Indiana
and George J. Bates (RO of Michi-
gan asked that the judges be 'in-
vestigated."
CALL REFUSED
Representative Vincent L. Pal
misano CD of Maryland, chair
man of the committee, said he
would not call the judges to the
hearing.
The committee has under con-
sideration a Senate bill, passed
more than a year ago, to curb the
numbers racket. District officials,
including District Attorney David
A. Pine and Major Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent Of police,
already have appeared before the
committee in support of the meas
ure, with an amendment giving
local police wider authority to ap-
prehend "big shots" in the game.

HUNGER STALKS
MANY FAMILIES.
WORKERS FIND
Aid Denied by d. c.
Lack of Funds

Cold, hunger, evictions, over
crowding and sickness Of pre-
viously self-respecting Washington
families was disclosed in a report
issued today by the Family Serv-
ice Association at their monthly
meeting.
The association, oldest and larg-
est of the city's private welfare
agencies found appalling condi-
tions, the report states.
40 FAMILIES VISITED
Trained investigators visiting 40
out of 399 families who had ap-
piled for aid-and been refused
for lack of funds-found many
cases of Semi-Starvation. OF the
40 families visited, not one had
sufficient food even to approx
mate a minimum subsistence diet.
Four families had already been
split up because Of the financial
crisis.
Gross overcrowding, unhealthy
sanitary conditions, and made
quate heat were found in prac-
tically every situation.
Families of Sx were living in
one dark room. In 80 families
there were not enough beds to go
around. In more than one-third
children are being kept out Of
school because of lack of clothing.
Nearly half have definitely low
cred their standards of housing
within the past few months.
MANY LESS THAN II
The 40 families total 233 people,
ranging from 5 to II persons per
family. Out of the 233 there were
152 children, all but five being
under II years.
It was found, the report shows,
that only 16 of these 40 families
have previously received relief. OF
these, only four had received re-
lief for as much as five months
during their lives; "a had never
been on relief.
"The opinion is frequently ex.
pressed that persons in need are
largely those who have drifted
into Washington in search of
relief or jobs and who have
never entirely maintained them
selves financially while here"
