Shafts from Security
Farm

The Resettlement Administra-
ton ceased to exist some time ago,
and as a department of government
was superseded by the Farm Sc
curity Administration But the
great Cooperative farm east of
Coolidge is often and enormously
referred to as the "Resettlement
Farm" This Is a misnomer, and
the correct appellation is the Sc,
curity Farm.
And the name Security" is, as
far as the farm is concerned, alt
inclusive, and means all that the
name Security implies. 1t means
that those who are laboring on the
Security falm, are Experiencing
security in its fullest measure, and
are earning their security by the
willing bend of their backs to the
burden.
Those who are toiling there for
security. which is primarily the
desire of all mankind, are the. pick
of the farm workers from a leng-
thy list. He who enters there has
a background of hard work, lnte-
gritty an experience. And not only
is "he" a good guy, but the wives
and families measure up to hlgh
standard Of domestic and family
life, and are good people to know.
The women of the Security farm
met Tuesday with Mrs. Harris, the
county home demonstration agent,
and organized the Tract Home
Maker Club" and elected officers
and appointed committees to plan
the various club activities for the
coming months. Meetings of the
club will be held on the second

Meter Tampering
Admitted by Two
In Police Court
Promise to Pay Power
Company for Current;
Seals Broken

The fact that meter men" are the
only persons permitted to delve into
the intricacies Of meters registering
electric consumption was impressed
upon two men In the United States
branch Of Police Court yesterday.
Appearing before Judge Edward
M. Curran, Benjamin Tender, 80, Of
912 Gallatin street NV, and Julian
Sisco, 81. of 1893 Columbia road
NV, pleaded guilty to a charge Of
violating a section of the District Of
Columbia code concerning unlawful
tampering with an electric meter.
On the mems promise to make resti-
tuition to the Potomac Electric Power
Co. for unpaid consumption of elec-
trio current, and because it was their
first offense, Judge Curran referred
the case to the probation officer.
Karl Kindelberger, assistant dis
trict attorney, said that testimony
offered at hearing before him yes
terday by the power company's en-
gineers revealed sharp drop in the
consumption of electricity at the
Lido Theater, in the 1900 block Of
M street NV, last February.
Engineers investigating the meter
at the theater found that a piece
Of wood had been placed between
the meters rotating disc and the
magnet, thus preventing the regis
tering of the electric current con-
sumed. The seal on the meter had
been broken, the engineers said.
Another check a short time later
found the seal still broken, but the
meter registering. The engineers
said it appeared that the meter had
been allowed to operate correctly in
order to show some consumption.
After this check the meter was
again sealed.
Still another check by the COM
pany revealed this time that the seal
on the meter again had been broken
and the movement of the disc
stopped by the insertion of slip OF
paper between the disc and the
magnet. The company rugged up
an auxiliary meter outside the build
ing and discovered that the actual
consumption Of electric current was
far In excess of the amount reg
istered
Mr.. Kindleberger said the two men
admitted they had fixed" the meter
at the hearing yesterday. Engineers
for the power company said the
mysterious consumption of current
had gone on for 10 months.

Change the course OF events laid down
at Berchtesgaden.
Among the Sudeten Germans the
whole district was sullen, bitter and
silent. Martial law has continued in
force, also curfew and a p-ohibi-
tion against any public assembly un-
der pain Of death
Women and children of the German
Social Democratic and other nom
NaZi parties-one-thir of the Ger
man population-have been ordered to
evacuate frontier areas. Shops and
cafes were closed and ordinary busi-
ness was suspended.
The authorities have made some
curious and interesting discoveries at
Eyer. The most significant of these is
a rough system of underground COM
munications between the buildings in
the block around Henlein's head
quarters.
At Chodau. near Carlsbad, We vis-
tied some German Social Democratic
refugees from Graslitz There were $50
OF these. of whom l02 were women
and 80 children.
They were all German workers in
the factories of Graslitz, which make
musical instruments, toys and textiles.
Last week. when Henlein issued his
siX-hour ultimatum to the Czech gov
ernment to lift martial law, these anti
Nazi Germans realized that a Nazi
coup would catch them at any mo-
ment. They fled at once with what
they could carry. No transport was
available and they escaped across hill
and vale as best they could. avoiding
roads because the NaI Young Men
were holding them.
Many of these people are sick and all
are suffering, and yet they salute with
the clenched fist The German Social
Democrats and the Trade Unionist Co
operative party seem to have adopted
this sign, like the Liberals and Re-
publlcans of Spain. as a symbol OF
their anti-Fascist spirit, regardless of
the fact that it was once thought to be
a solely Communist gesture.

Due to Superstition

Why do so many people look upon
green as an unlucky color? After all,
it is the principal color in nature.
And because of that, it has &C.
quired its evil repute. In the early
days Of mankind, man saw evil
spirits all round him. Almost every
natural object was given supernat-
ural powers. There were tree-gods
and earth-gods. Green was the col
or of tree and grass and so was
sacred" to the gods that dwelt in
them. If man dared to wear this
color, he was risking the anger Of
the gods. And out of that grew the
legend that green was an unlucky
color.

Claims Oldest Book

What is believed to be the oldest
book in the world, the scroll of the
Pentateuch, is in a remarkable
state of preservation in Nablus, near
Beirut, Palestine. 1t comprises the
first five books of Moses, and is
believed to have been written FIVE
years after the Israelites entered
Palestine. Once the capital Of
Samaria, Nablus is known as the
city of the Good Samaritans. A
strict sect, rarely intermarrying,
the Samaritans have a tribal short
age Of women, and a male who de-
sires a wife must put his name on
a long waiting list. He sometimes
attains ripe age before a teen-age
bride falls to him by lot.

Faith

If man has in all ages had enough
to encounter, there has, in most civ
ilized ages, been an inward force
Vouchsafed him, whereby the pres
sure Of things outward might be
withstood. Obstruction abounded;
but faith also was not wanting. II
is by faith that man removes noun
tains; while he had faith his limbs
might be wearied with toiling, his
back CALLED with bearing; but the
heart within him was peaceable and
resolved Faith gave him an in
ward willingness; a world of
strength wherewith to confront a
world Of difficulty. The true wretch
edness is here; that the difficulty
remains and the strength be lost;
that we have the labor and want
the willingness.-Carlyle.

The other was the Hotel Metro

mitted its prisoners to live at home,
merely asking that they or a repre-
sentative drop in each morning and
evening to answer the roll call.
