Directors Meeting

Directors of the Washington park basketball league will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the Community house to consider recommendations from the eight team managers.
 The managers recommend that the directors reconsider the protest which the directors granted in favor of the St. Ann's protest against the Reymond Hillies. It is claimed that the protest and order for replay of the game were issued without proper consideration of the merits of the claim.
 It also has been recommened to the directors that they disband, and that a new governing set up be for mulated for the league.

Germany the Rhine and Russia the
Volga, but few of these rivers have
ever gripped the popular imagina-
tion as has the Mississippi of the
United States.
The most colorful and romantic
chapter in the rivers history was
undoubtedly that of the steamboat,
but steamboat life was believed to be
dying even in the days of Mark
Twain, whose Life on the Missis-
sippi" is the most fascinating book
ever written about the river. The
traditions of that life, however, were
kept alive by showboats, which took
their place on the broad river waters
Steamer to Follow Route.
Today the showboats are fewer,
but steamship companies still main
tain the role of the Mississippi in
American life. AS another effort in
that direction, the Greene Line will
send steamer down the waters of

New Orleans, following the river
route OF old.

Alarm clocks could hardly be called
best sellers in this Caribbean va

the visitor jumps out of bed all

There Is the papaW, or native
melon, usually eaten with a dash
Of lime Juice; the star apple. a
reddish-purple soft fruit with a

apple, and superb oranges, pealed
and served on the end of fork.
Bananas and bacon provide a
real West Indian breakfast dish. A
slice Of bacon is fried with each
strip of banana. There's no end to
your choice of fresh fruit Juices.
Many start breakfast with a huge
beaker of green coconut water or a

Ickes, 65 Today, Looks Back
lon Year of BLESSINGS
P.W. A. Chief Spent
Billion and Half on
Many Projects
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes was
IS years old today and more at peace
with the world than he has been in
months.
Whatever the next year may
bring, the last one has been pretty
good to him. He got married, trav-
eled thousands of miles, had lots of
fights, coined few words and spent
a billion and a half dollars as P. w.
A. administrator.
This money has gone into school,
houses, dams, electric plants, public
buildings, hospitals, bridges and a
wide variety Of projects. Some
members of Congress who are crit
ical of other New Deal agencies
speak highly of what has been done
by the P. w. A.
Nevertheless, Secretary Ickes is
not popular in all quarters on Capitol
Hill. He puts it this way:
IF man worked hard at it, he
couldn't get bigger list of enemies
than l."
Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska said it little differently q
few weeks ago:
"Ickes is the sort of person who
can say Merry Christmas to you
In a way that makes you want to
fight him."
Senator Burke's observation was
made at time when the Secretary
was receiving stinging adjectives
from Germany.

nouncing Jewish prosecutions evoked

He called Senator Glass, Democrat
Of Virginia a political hypocrite"
who fought administration economic
policies and yet often asked for p.
w. A. grants. The Senator replied
that this was wanton falsehood
and that Secretary Ickes had be-
come confirmed blackguard."
Mr.. Ickes had arguments with
Mayors Rossi of San Francisco and
Tobin of Boston about P. w. A..
grants. He was challenged by Gov,
James of Pennsylvania to a debate
during Mr.. James election CAM
paign. He criticized Henry Ford and
Charles A. Lindbergh for accepting
medals from Germany. He called
Gen. Hugh johnson a "one-man
circus" and said the general was
jealous.
To Eugene Talmadge, former
Governor of Georgia, with whom he
previously had had arguments, Sec
retary Ickes applied the homemade
adjective, "enciable," which Mr..
Ickes said meant "in a constant
fever" Quimby Melton, Georgia
editor, dug into the dictionary for
"sansculotte," which he fired back
at the Secretary. 1t means one
without breeches.

ones. In the German case, Secre-

The company contends the union
was responsible for the strike. Coun-

could not be held responsible "for

who acted without authorization or

The suit was brought under an
amendment to the Sherman Anti

largest manufacturers of hosiery in
the world.
Description of rioting in May,

women took over the plant for a

patrick cut short witnesses who
testified about personal assaults
during the rioting, telling them the
suit involved property damage only.
He interrupted examination of F.
Elwood Struve by the unions at
torney on the company's attitude
toward the union.
"The only question this union and
to decide is whether this union and
its individual members are respon-
sible for the damage that was done
and how much that damage is," said
Judge Kirkpatrick.
