MOTHERS DAY
IS OBSERVED AT
GOSPEL SERVICE

Last evening Mothers Day was
remembered in the Gospel Service at
the corner of Ninth and d Streets,
with special singing and an address
by H. Gibson on three mothers of
the Bible.
The evangelist opened his address
by stating that mothers play big
part in the building Of men, homes,
states and nations. There should
be in the hearts of all deep regard
for mothers who are mothers indeed.
He who does not honor motherhood
dishonors himself and betrays the
race to which he belongs" said the
evangelist.
The three mothers referred to were
Hannah, the mother of Samuel,
Jachebed, mother of Moses, and
Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Hannah as true mother, put
something into Samuel that was diff
ferent from others. and later when
the lamp of God was about to go
out in the temple, Samuel could say
Speak, Lord, thy servant heareth.'
He was used to God in changing
conditions around him and at death
all Israel mourned his passing. His
effective life came largely through

WASHINGTON, May 15.-In the
latest Administration move for soil
darity in the Americas, the Wal
Department completed arrange
ments to send the Army's prospec-
tive Chief of Staff to Brazil aboard
the cruiser Nashville.
Administration sources said Brig
Gen. George c. Marshall, who is
slated to assume the top ranking
army post in September, would sail
from New York for Rio de Janeirc
at once.
He will be the official guest OF
Gen. Aurelio De Goes Monteiro
Brazilian Chief of Staff, for about
a week The Brazilian commander
is expected to return with him for
a visit to the United States.
MarshalPs trip, Administration
sources indicated, was arranged al
least partly to offset a move by
Nazi Germany to WOO Brazil. Gen
Ieral Marshall was invited after Ger

to receive honors in the Reich.
In another move to cement rela-

The plane, a two-motor Lockheed

The craft is of the same general

be carried but not actual military
equipment, such as bomb racks.

the influence of his mother" said
the evangelist.
THE mother of Moses protected
her child and in the short time she
could care for him she implanted in
his life that which enabled him to
make wise choice later. He became
one of the worlds greatest leaders
of men from slavery to liberty and
had his start from the influence of
Cody mother.
Mary the mother of Jesus found
favor with God. She set her own
interests aside and magnified the
Lord in her life. She followed her
boy during the years of His ministry
and conflict with religious darkness,
even to the cross with faith in Him
to the end. AS He hung upon the
cross we have a picture of true
mother love and true love manifested
by son."

Tips If You

To N. Y. Fair
CoIumnisf Gives Sugges
fiOns 10 Visitors TO
Exposition
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, May If you are
coming from some Instant point
to visit the New York Fair may I
recommend few things you
should do while here?
| They are experiences 1 have had
and the memory of them remains
very pleasant and I imagine you
would enjoy them too, especially
if you live at any great distance
and get to New York only infre-
quently.
I think you ought to have dinner
at least once in a Swedish restau-
rant while you are in New York.
The genuine Swedish restaurants
are an adventure you can i'll afford
to miss, and 1 say this because, of
all the things this department has
recommended from time to time 10
visitors and friends from other
sections Of the country, this seems
to have made the most lasting i'm
preston They write me letters
emphasizing over and over how
delighted they were and what a
gratifying experience the dinner
was. AS for the choice of res
taurant, that is up to you. My ia
vorite happens to be the Stock
holm, but there are others prob
ably just as good, and if you make
your way into any Swedish res
tourant you aren't likely to go
wrong
Then l would, on another eve
ming, give myself the pleasures of
a Shore dinner That is what they
are called-Shore dinners-and they
are to be found in any number of
small but fine restaurants in the
thirties and forties between Sixth
Avenue and Broadway.
A real Shore dinner may only
be described by fourmets n d
poets, for they are a succession of
sea-food courses, each compliment
tary to the other, of steamed CLANS,
oysters, lobster, crab meat, various
sea fishes, and fried breast Of
chicken, all aswim in mouth-water-
ing sauces, and dripping with melt
led butter

Wants Judges Who Will
Be Friendly to Netu Deal

The other phase of the differences
is less clear. ! can report it only
as the belief of quite a few sena-
tors. Some of them believe it, def
nitely. I give it here simply as
subject for thought.
BY insisting upon his own choice
of nominees for judgeships in the
federal courts, Mr.. Roosevelt is at
tempting to place men in the ju-
dietary who will be friendly to all
of the New Deal laws, or so some
members Of the senate and the
house firmly believe. That is to say,
the belief is held that Mr.. Roosevelt
is seeking to do by use Of the APP
pointive power that which the con-
gress refused him the power to do
when it killed off his scheme to
pack the Supreme court of the Unit
ed States with six new justices. BY
filling the judiciary-the federal dis
trict courts and the circuit courts Of
appeal-with men known to be IA
vcxable to new deal laws, in
surance against adverse decisions is
provided for years to come, or so
some of the senators and representa-
tives will tell you.
It would be only incidental, If the
above analysis is correct, that Mr..
Roosevelt would build a fresh politi-
cal machine completely subservient
to him. 1t would be only Incidental,
but it would be fact.

SAFETY TALKS
Most Hazardous Occupation

MOST farmers probably would
~ scorn the use of industry's
steel-toed safety shoes, hard hats
to protect their heads from falling
objects, and goggles with unbreak-
able lenses to ward off sparks
from the grindstone and splinters
from the wood -cutting power saw.
If this be true, it may possibly
account for agriculture ranking
first as the most hazardous Of
occupationa1 enterprises.
The National Safety council re-
ports that of 1880 fatalities in
occupational accidents during
1887, agriculture, or farm acct
dents, contributed 4,500. Trade
and service industries were re-
sponsible for another 1880 acct
dental deaths. All other industries
experienced fewer accident fatali-
ties during that year, the council
said.

Old Line Democrats Seek
To Regain Party Control

Nor are the senators, not just
Glass and Byrd alone, but all of
them, blameless, if one desires to
turn purist. The senators have their
political machines. They seek al
ways to keep those machines well
oiled, smooth running. Upon the
functiohing Of the machines depends
whether the senators can be re-
elected time after time; upon that
machine depends the retention or
the loss Of the power which every
politician loves. imagine they can
not be blamed for that, any more
than the President can be blamed
for wanting to keep his hand on the
throttle. That is politics.
Selection of the men to judicial
jobs, or to any other political post
in the nature of plum, is vital to
maintenance of machines. Politi-
clans continue as leaders only so
long as they can dominate the scene
and get for their followers the things
their followers want.
But in the current battle there is
somewhat deeper disagreement be-
tween the senate and the President.
It is too well known to warrant more
than mere reference here that old
line Democrats are determined to
regain control of the Democratic
party label. They have had more
than enough impractical direction
from the regiment of college pro-
fessors, crack-pots and long haired
dreamers without political training.
Many of them will tell you unhesi-
tatingly that continuation Of Demo-
cratic party control in the hands of
such men will be destruction of the
party and its conversion into a We
hicle guided by socialists, commu-
nists and a complete rainbow Of
colors. Naturally, they want to adj
here to Democratic doctrines and
Democratic principles. And that is
the line Of cleavage.
The result? / doubt that Mr..
Roosevelt can win over the senate.
