| Better Relations
By Educational
Attaches Urged

The suggestion that the
United States have educational
attaches at each of its foreign
Embassies and that foreign
countries also have similar at
taches at their Embassies In
Washington, to promote a bet
ter understanding between this
country and other nations, has
been made by President William
Mathew Lewis Of Lafayette
College.
These attaches, DR.. Lewis
said, would lecture at various
universities and colleges on the
customs and situations in their
respective countries. He ex-
pressed the belief that such a
practice would have a great in
tiuence on the better under
standing among students OF
foreign countries.

eral In "Old Hickory's" second ad-
ministration and continuing to serve
in this office until May, 1910. when
he resigned, he published from l341
to 1874 a biWeekly paper called
Kendall's Expositor, which he says
did not yield enough income one
half sufficient for the support of his
family.
Indeed, when Mr. Kendall left the
cabinet, he was forced through pow
erty to sell an old carriage and horses
because he was not able to buy
feed for the horses, and was even
forced to move into frame house

Mcclure, in speaking of him at the
time of his death, said:
He had some views in regard to
matters connected with the duty and
responsibility of official position
which might now be regarded as
old-fashioned. When he was Post
master General 1 happened to be
with him on one occasion when Mr..
Reeside was present. Mr.. Reeside
said to him, Mr.. Kendall, whenever
you desire to travel, my stage
coaches are always at your service.
You can have the use of an entire

Housewives at Greenbelt had

The regulation that can event

deals with the hanging of clothes
on Washday, and the rule regard
ing this clothes-hanging business
says that clothes should be taken
in before 4 o'clock if a housewife
wants to stay within the law.

But the Farm Security Admins

insists that drying clothes mar
the beauty of Greenbelt at sun
down, and housewives are out of
luck if their wash isn't dry. Per-
haps the radiator will finish what
the sun and wind couldn't do.

It's editorial talent at great length in effort to

Perhaps friends of the "fourth estaten in

of Pittsburgh. Perhaps they gulible enough to
believe that washing machines in Greenbelt not
