IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our wife ano
mother who passed away two years
ago today, November 6:
Before our eyes she faded.
Growing weaker every day;
Doing all we could to save her,
Until God took her away.
The moon and stars are shining,
Upon a lonely grave,
Where sleeps our wife and mother,
We loved but could not save
Sadly missed by husband, children
and grandchildren.

gin with. Nobody believes they were
ballyhooed out of nothing. They
must have had something to begir
with-at least everybody thought
they had and everybody can't be en-
tirely wrong.
Wild guessers weren't the only ones
who gave them preseason ratings
near the top-even the coaches who
had to play them and who knew
everything there was to know about
their personnel felt certain they would
be top-knotch teams.
Even their own coaches were op-
timistic. Jimmy Phelan felt there
might be two teams on the Pacific
Coast little stronger than his husk-
les. Bo McMillin was'so hopeful OF
his HooSiers that he believes his sea-
son was made if he got by his opener
with Ohio State.
Nobody knew better than Mime
sofa that Nebraska was highly op-
timistic, and in Texas it was gen.
orally admitted that Rice was the
best or no worse than second best
Yet Washington hasn't won game
and was tied by setup. Indiana and
Nebraska have consistent record OF
defeats save in the game in which
they played each other and neither
side could score, and Rice has a
scratchy victory over Texas, whom
every other opponent has slaughtered.
How do you explain it?
Well, l doubt that anybody knows
the full explanation, but a part of il
may be that teams get too highly
keyed for the tough opening games
on modern schedules and, after losing
the openers, get out of step and stay
out. A football squad is a mighty
delicate machine. 1t may have lot
of parts of the best quality but, like
an expensive watch, may stop dead
if one little part is defective or if
there is the slightest disturbance of
the delicate gearing.

When boys don kitchen aprons and
girls surround themselves with fuses
and electric wires it looks like a
musical comedy farce-but it's seri-
Gus business with the students at
Sherwood High School in Sandy
Spring. Md.
The machine shop once a place
where the boy students could get
away from it all, is now overrun by
girls. Behind dainty dimity curtains
in the cooking room the boys labor
with rolling pins and flour sifters.
This latest contribution to the edu-
cational system came from the minds
of the manual training instructor,
Sydney T. Lawler, and the domestic
science teacher, Mrs. Margaret Null
link.
why shouldn't We teach girls how
to fix things when their husbands
are away and boys how to cook and
serve and set the table when their
wives are away?" the two teachers
asked.
Glasses Are Switched.
Anu 81 ~ CdLIlt Dc. IlC ClooSSc
were switched for few weeks just
to see how the experiment would
work out. So far the students have
liked the topsy-turvy situation. and
the courses bid fair to be included
in the regular curriculum next year.
When the girls machine shop class
was visited yesterday the feminine
mechanics were involved in splicing
wires and connecting lamp sockets.
One girl handled screw driver as
if she had been born with it In her
hand. Another girl was busy split
ting a wire and discussing insulation
with Mr.. Lawler.
There were a few absent among
the girls, but not so with the boys.
The attendance has been spectacular
since the cooking class began, and
a few other boys have sought special
permission to join the embryonic
chefs.
The boys eat what they make-and
like it. At least none Of them has
suffered indigestion so far. They are
allowed to choose their subjects. which
has resulted in a predominance OF
pies, cakes, biscuits and candy. Mrs
Mullinix succeeded in persuading them
to spend one class period learning
how to make creamed eggs on toast,
but otherwise it's been one dessert
after another.
Hangs on to Cookbook.
IF can hang on to this cook
book I'll be all right" one Of the boys
said as he shipped the edges from the
pie-crust dough. But then" he
added philosophically, Il guess most
women ere like that, too."
The boys are very determined about
their studies At first the girls used
to peep around corners giggling at
them, but they continued doggedly.
The boys were making pie crust
yesterday and wrestling with the
dough that refused to get thin enough.
One boy stolidly rolled and rolled and
rolled, but the dough just wrapped
itself around the rolling pin and
wouldn't let go.
After wrestling with the pie dough
for two-thirds of the class period the
exhausted cooks put the little pans
in the oven and watched grimly for
the first signs of golden brown, crisp
crust.
Nov I know how bride feels
about her first batch of biscuits"
boy who looked more like a football
hero than a cook said.
"Never mind, boys" soothed Mrs.
Mullinix, IF you had just as much
opportunity to learn cooking as girls
have you'd be just as good"
At which point the boys smiled
gratefully and ate their handiwork.

The Voteless District League OF
Women Voters today Endorsed a Sen
ate District subcommittee's recon-
mendation for continued operation OF
the Receiving Home for Children and
the National Training School for Girls
pending formulation Of modern child
care program in the District.
A statement outlining the leagues
position was circulated among men,
bers of the Deficiency Appropriations
Committees considering new Budget
Bureau recommendations, which the
league criticized as aimed at patch
ing up a series of unsatisfactory re-
quests rather than building a new
plan"
Congress must take some action to
solve the problem created by legisla-
ton requiring abandonment of the
present training school on July l and
of the present Receiving Home on De-
cember 81, without provision for fur
ther care Of the inmates.
The league said it welcomed the pro-
posal of a special subcommittee head
ed by Senator Copeland of New York,
that an expert in the care Of delin-
quent children be engaged by the
Board of Public Welfare to study pres
ent conditions and recommend def
mite child-care program for the future
here. This study would be made with
$4,000 available under social security
funds.
1t also approved the subcommittee
recommendation that funds be pro-
vided to continue the present receiving
home and training school for the 1899
fiscal year. I'VE regret the necessity
for continuing the unsatisfactory in
stitutional set-up for another year,
the league statement said, but be-
lieve it is in the interests Of economy
and good planning to do So" It said
q deficiency appropriation Of $78,5o0
would be necessary to continue the two

FREDERICK, Md, May 24.-Legis-
lation to provide minimum wage law
for Maryland and to revise the State
unemployment compensation law bore
the approval today of the Maryland
District of Columbia Federation Of
Labor.
Resolutions embodying these points
were adopted yesterday at briskly
conducted opening session of the Fed
eration's three-day thirty-third annual
convention.
More than 200 delegates attending
the meeting went on record as ap-
proving a standard minimum wage law
similar to that in other States.
They also approved a legislative
fight" to amend the State unemploy-
ment compensation law to cover oc-
cupational diseases and to obtain en-
actment of proper" barber licensing
laws.
Broader Program.
A broader legislative program was
enviSioned by Federation President
Joseph p. McCurdy of Baltimore,
whose convention address sounded a
demand for recodiflcation of the child
labor laws.
Mr.. McCurdy also asserted the COM
pensatiop act should be broadened to
apply to employees working for an
employer of one or more persons
rather than four, as is now provided" :"
and to include agricultural workers,
domestics and seamen.
The two greatest dangers" to the
compensation system, said William
Mines Maloy. chairman of the State
Unemployment Compensation Board,
were that changes might be made be-
fore sufficient experience" had been
obtained and that administration
might prove 80 technical as to i'm
pair the usefulness of the system"

Other resolutions adopted by the fed
Grafton opposed further increases in
the State tax on alcoholic beverages
on the grounds such increases might
work hardship on distillery employees.
approved extension of civil service to
cover all Government employees in
Washington and opposed is per cent

The federation endorsed its vice
president, John Locher, president of
the Washington Central Labor Union,
as a candidate for presidential ap-
pointment as Commissioner of the
District of Columbia. Commissioner
George E. Allen will resign in Sep

CO-ED'SATTACKER
OBJECT OF HUNT
Assai|ant of A. U. Girl Is
Thought Perpetrator of
Other Assaults.

A young man who was scratched
and bitten in a furious struggle with
pretty 16-year- American Uni
versity student on lonely road in
nearby Maryland last night was
sought by police today as a suspect
in numerous recent attacks on women
in the American University area.
Jean Forbes, who reported she was
kidnapped by the man while waiting
for a bus in front of the university
last night, told police she scratched
and bit him and hit him on the head
with her school books in fighting off
his advances after he had driven her
out River road to Goldsboro road,
near the Kenwood Country Club, and
stopped his car in the mud.
During the struggle, the girl used
her books-including two volumes on
religion-to break the front window
on the right side of the car. She then
managed to open the door and ran
into woods beside the dirt road.
+. She lay in hiding, while rain beat
down and lightning flashed during a
heavy storm, for nearly two hours be-
fore she set out to seek help at the
nearby telephone of DR.. Harry Neale,
a veterinarian, on River road. Mrs
Neale said the wet and bedraggled
girl nervously told of lying in the
woods in fear that her assailant would
find her again at any moment. She
said he jumped out of his car as she
ran away from him, and she could
hear him searching for her for some
time. She did not emerge from her
hiding place until she felt sure he
had left.
Miss Forbes was secluded in her
home at 1877 New Hampshire avenue
NV. today. She had told police she
stayed late at the university yester-
day to study in the library and left
to catch a bus for home about dusk.
Her abductor stopped his car beside
her, she said, and hit her on the head,
stunning her momentarily, to drag her
into his machine. Then he drove at
such high speed out into Maryland,
she added, that she had no oppor-
tunity to get away from him until he
stopped the car.
Mrs. Neale said the girl did not
appear to have been hurt seriously by
the blow on the head and was suffer-
ing only from nervousness and ex-
posure when she appeared at the
Neale home about 10 o'clock.
Describes Assailant.
Miss Forbes, who had entered Amer
ican University this spring after grad
uating from Western High School in
February, was able to supply police
with complete description Of her as
sailant. Washington police were in
clined to doubt that he was the same
man involved in other attacks in that
neighborhood recently, but Montgom-
cry County police expressed convic-
ton he was the same. In any event,
it was the first time that victims Of
attempted assault had been able to
describe the attacker.

.PARLEY DEBATES
BEAUTY SHOP PAY
Proposals for Separate
and Lower Wage for
C0Iored DiSavoWed.

Proposals for q separate" and
lower basic wage for colored beauty
shop workers were disavowed today
by both employer and employe men,
bers Of the beauty culture conference
of the District Minimum Wage Board
Some spokesmen for colored oper-
ators and colored workers surprised
the board yesterday by submitting
cost of living budgets that ranged
fro $3.50 to s170 week below those
offered officially by the employer and
employe conference groups. After
these had been repudiated today by
Claude H. Woodward, employer
spokesman on the board, and Arthur
L. Schoenthal. labor member, the
documents were allowed to remain in
the record as evidences of claims of
Washington members of the National
Beauty Culturists' League, but not
as budgets"
DR.. Philip Marshall Brown. chair
man of the conference. made clear
several times during debate on the
point that the unexpected cost of liv-
ing estimates could not be considered
as budgets"
MIR. Schoenthal's group had put in
a claim of budget totaling s22.30,
and Mr.. Woodward's group an en-
ployers' claim of maximum OF SIT
q week. From the colored league came
an employers claim for budget of no
more than $14.47 and an employer
members agreement to accept maxi
mum of $12.77.
Mrs. Beatrice S. Woodland and Mrs.
Bessie Mercer, speaking today for the
league, both told the conference they
did not mean to suggest there should
be q separate" minimum wage for
colored workers, but argued that COL
ored shops could not survive under q
wage as high as SIT week.
They told the board their customers
were relatively poor people and could
not pay prices that would support such
q minimum wage for the beauty work.
ers and the board was advised also
that the colored shops suffer from
unfair competition by many unlicensed
operators who do beauty work at cheap
prices at their homes, not having to
nav business shop rent and avoiding
District license taxes.
The problems of the conference were
not lessened when witnesses began
to detail methods Of operation, It
developed that many Of the workers
are paid on a commission basis and
that some of them rent booths under
. concession agreement from the shop
operators.
