was. But this was very different

his threat good or openly admit that
he was afraid Of Prickly Porky.
So Buster was In about as bad a

To the Editor:
have read with a great deal of interest your

it should certainly be answered.
The editorial begins by giving credit to the
Governor for assisting in the Launching OF the
Greenbelt School. AS matter Of fact, the Cover

set up. It is very doubtful if he knows that

becoming too large. No school in the county

learn that the number Of pupils per teacher
placed in the statute books in the l8OOs. While
reco gnizing the menace has anyone done anything to
change this legislation?
one wonders where t he writer of this edi torial
got his information. Accurate information could
easily have been obtained at the school. No child

JobIess Girl Who Sent
Gold 10 Roosevelt
Gets Embassy Job
Mailed Keepsokes Six
Years Ago to Help Keep
U. S. Currency Sound

In March, six years ago, a small
package, wrapped in brown paper,
was delivered at the White House
by a postman. 1t was addressed to
President Roosevelt and marked
personal. In it was S. gold piece,
q small gold chain and letter from
an unidentified girl, postmarked
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The gold piece and the chain rep
resented the last items of material
value owned by the girl who was
unemployed at the time. They were
treasured keepsakes, the gifts of
friends, and dear to her heart, yet
she sent them to the President as
her small contribution to help this
country keep the currency sound
with an adequate gold supply.
She said, in her letter. that she
did it because of her love for this
country and its President and hoped
that it might set an example for
other women of the Nation to fol-
low. 1t was. she added, Just like
drop in the bucket" but the most
she could do under the circum-
stances.
No Name or Address.
Those were hard days, the days
OF 1888 Especially hard for an I'M
employed Italian immigrant girl
walking the streets of New York IN
search of a job. That much of her
identity she told in her letter, but
only that. No name or address was
given. 1t was signed: IAN 1talo-
American"
Today, Maria Volpi has job She
Is a secretary at the Italian Embassy
in Washington. She was born IN
village near Rome, and is the one
time unemployed girl who wrote the
letter and gave her treasured trinkets
to President Roosevelt to help keep
the currency sound and to express
her love for the Chief Executive.
Despite the fact that she is an
italian subject and on the pay roll
of a foreign country, Maria Volpi's
love for the President is still bright.
She said that although he has never
experienced poverty himself, he sin
CeIely anu VI W liSAp
Americas poor classes" That, in
her mind is the greatest gift of the
Chief Executive and the reason for
her high admiration.
Miss Volpi lives at Henderson
Castle, 1900 Sixteenth street NV,
and is popular among the tenants
who reside there. She has black
hair, an engaging smile, speaks with
a pleasing accent and possesses a
marked sense of humor
Though gay and enthusiastic most
of the time. she has a seriousness
forced on her personality by the un-
happy years of unemployment and
uncertainty she experienced in the
not-too- distant past. Although she
does not disapprove of the customs,
she does not dance, drink or smoke.
It's just that she hasn't. in her
lifetime in Italy or America, had
time or money to spend in such pur-
suits, she said. And furthermore,
she can say an emphatic mo- in
three languages, which generally gets
the idea across.

In other cases prices are not high,
The Citizen understands that a

TAMPA, Oct. 20 (FNS).-Wars

the search of mankind for buried
treasure is a perennial thing, and
SO far as the State Department at

European war and the Caribbean

are both important.

who, with Capt r. A. Phraner of
the motorship Albee, is planning
an expedition to South Florida
waters, Nathaniel P. Davis, chief
of the Division of Foreign Service
Administration of the State De-

that British and French regula-
tons for their Caribbean terrific
rial waters be studied, and that
passports be obtained in case II
becomes necessary to run into
foreign ports.
