WOULD EXPAND
BASIN DISTRICT

A group headed by James O'Sulli,
van presented before Grant county
commissioners petition asking that
they take steps to organize an irriga-
ton district in lands Of general area
which it is believed will lie under the
proposed west canal Of the Columbia
basin project. The commissioners set
Novemer 8 as the date for public
hearing. There were about 220 sigma
lures on the petition, all of landown-
ers in the area deserted, which inclnd-
es about 775.0O0 acres, all in Grant
county.
In general the west boundary is the
Columbia river; south boundary, Crab
creek and the Milwaukee railroad;
east oundary, Crab and Willow creeks;
north boundary, approximately the
line of the Great Northern railroad
but extended to take in territory
around Soap Lake, Grant Orchards,
Stratford and Coulee City, including
the gravel flats east of Coulee City.
I'VE are taking in all land in those
areas because the commissioners can
exclude any lands, but can not include
any land except on the petition of the
owners, said O'Sullivan. ut il "a
pected that all land not clearly sus.
ceptible to irrigation will be excluded
at the November hearing"
In presenting the petition O'Sulli
van stressed that this district could
Q formed and be eligible to receive
funds within q year. 1t is highly i'm
portant to ask for funds during the
present period Of lending and spending
he said.

NEW NATIONAL PUBLISHING
CONCERN LAUNCHED IN
NEW YORK

New York Co - The cultural
life of the Negro was given a
new opportunity for deeper de-
VelopmeiIt t,nu more extensive
cultivation and expression last
week when the formation of Wen
dell Malliet and Company, Pub
fishers, was Announced.
The new company, organized by
A NJ. Wendell Malliett at 2O9
West 125th street, will seek to un-
cover creative talent in the Negro
group for the publication of works
of fiction, poetry, biography, trav-
ell, essays and Negro history.
Now in his youthful prime, Mr..
Malliett, with several years of eX-
perience gained as a member of
the staff of the oxford UniverS-
ity Press, New York, Inc, and at
present a staff writer of the New
Amsterdam News, has long felt
that New York should be the
center of the book publishing bus
mess, especially for Negroes. Mr..
Malliet has given the last five
years to planning the business and
editorial developments of his ven
ture. He is thoroughly acquainted
with American publishing meth
DDS and the discriminatory policies
and practices which bar the Negro
from the field of authorship.
He is convinced that much tai
ent in the Negro group still re-
mains hidden because of the lack
of facilities for literary express
ion.
The plan of the new concern
is to provide editorial and critical
service and assistance, as well as
the means of publishing and mar
keting books. Manuscripts, which
the firm solicits, will be read and
revised. Prospective authors will
be advised on untimelineSS of at
tempting certain types of writing;
and most important on the pro-
duction end, distribution facilities
of the book publishing industry
will be at the command of the
organization, thus assuring Ne
gro authors a chance to have
their works presented for sale
wherever books are sold, in Am
erica or abroad.
Coming to New York from ia
maica, British West Indies, 20
years ago, Mr.. Malliet has lived
in Brooklyn and Manhattan, spend
ing most of his time in Harlem,
where he has been a keen student
Of the sociological aspects of Ne
gro life. He has had wide eX-
perience in writing and editing,
having written several series of
articles on intra-racial affairs for
the leading national newspapers
and having edited local cultural
organs of the folk life of various
Harlem groups. He is also the
author of THE Destiny of the
West Indies, a pamphlet, pub
lshed in 1928. In his private IL
brary are more than 5000 vol
umes, including periodicals, PAM
phlets, and tracts.
Experience with cultural groups
in Harlem has inspired Mr.. NAL
liett and his associates to plan
several projects which will afford
Negro authors in different sec
tions of the country an appor-
tunity to publish treaties or bro
chures on regional or group cul-
tIre. The company will encourage
Aho4 svtfr-isaiaiT,-f-of-- rp5tnT5nfets of
A15,000 words or less, ana books of
100000 words or less on important
prob'oms affecting the Negro in
America and abroad. Mr.. Malliet
will be responsive to suggestions
for the promotion of works that
will express the scholarship of the
Negro and preserve the best ira
ditions of the group.

was announced today. Benes and the SuGeten leaders talked for four hours yesterday. while Konrad Henleip, supreme party leader, was conferring with Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden in Bavaria. Hitler approved the coun- ter-proposals.
 It was learned that the counter proposal was made on the basis of original Sudeten German demand but at the same time incorporated those parts O the government plan which were n agreement with the Sudeten plaviorm.
 The governments own proposal, 1t was understood, met more than half of the original demands. On remaining points, it was learned, the Sudetens wrote their counter proposals as nearly as possible so that they coincided with the gov- ernment plan.
 It was possible, in the light of the latest developments, to explain what had been one of the most con- fusing of diplomatic situations and at the same time has provided the entire background for the exciting events of the last week. The se- quence of developments was as follows:
 Developments to Date
 1-Negotiations between the gov ernment and the Sudetens reached a deadlock.
 2-There was a series of "feeler" conferences at which Viscount Run- ciman, British adviser, conferred separately with the government and the Sudeten party while government delegates conferred with Sudeten delegates.
 S-Frank T. A. Ashton Gwatkin, chief of the economics section of the British foreign office and aide to Lord Runciman, went to London to discuss international political and economic questions linked with the minority problem.

 A feature of the party was a chal- lenge game of softball between the Thespians and the Stagehands. Still smarting from their defeat at vol ley-ball, the Stagehands had offered to show the Thespians a thing o: two about softball. Today they have changed their minds for they were again set back. The game was close and hard-fought throughout. It was not until the final inning, the fourth, when Arthur Lorent- zon came to bat with the bases loaded and slammed out a hard roller to the pitcher which became lost in the high grass, that the Thespians were able to nose out their opponents, 26 to 25.

P|OUS SISTERS FORSAKE BAND
 TO TAKE VOWS
Four Quit Night Club Jobs to Enter Catholic
 Convent
BY ROBERT H. PARHAM

United Press Staff Correspondent
 San Antonio, Texas, Sept. B. (UP)--1t once was the night life, now 1t is the exemplary one; once they wore evening gowns and the uniforms of dance orcehstra mem- berg, but now they wear the white habit of the Roman Catholic nov ice.
 For the Jones sisters - Hazel, Gladys, Dorothy and Evelyn for- mer members of the Texas Ranger cites orchestra, are preparing to become nuns.
 The Jones sisters, whose ages ranye from Evelyn's g years to Ha1sl's %, played with the Ram geretets for eight years. They had engagements at leading night clubs in major American cities, in Mex ico and in Hawaii. They lived with a carefree world, but not in 1t.
 Mother Accompanies Girls
 On Jan. l, they played their last engagement with the band. They made no public announcement of their plans, but went quietly to the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament Convent where they werO admitted on January 6. Mrs. Mary Jones, their widowed mother. accompanied them.
 The mother and daughters passed the six months in the Pos- tulate preparing for their Canon- ical year. They Studeid music and other classical and commercial subjects. . .f.
 Recently, with the end of their Postulate, they were invested with the white habit of the Sisters of the Congregation. For the next year they will be in the Noyitiate for profound study of the Rules of the Congregation. And at the end of that time, they may take their religious VOWS. In three more years they will become nuns.
 What, besides devotion to the church, influenced the girls and their mother to enter the convent is not known. Jerry McRae, who managed the Rangerettes and who knew the girls well, has no ex- plantation.
 Unaffected by Night Life
 "They saw Q great deal of night life in the eight years they spent with the band," Miss McRae said. "They enjoyed seeing it, but they never cared to take part in 1t. I suppose the only answer is that they loved the church more than the life they'd seen"
 Miss McIsae said the girls never drank or smoked. 4
 T never knew one of the girls to be more than casually inter- ested in 6 man," she added "All four are attractive girls, and I do know that certain men have been in love with them--even proposed marriage to them"
 The girls all are accomplished musicians. playing more than ono instrument. Each played three instruments with the Rangerettes.
 When the last of their VOWS are taken, the sisters probably will be sent out to Catholic schools to teach music to children.
