On a hot day, when the tempera-
ture outside is almost un~bearable,
when you go inside a building and
find a fan running, you say to your
self, "Oh, my That feels good. It's
nice and cool in here"
But after you hove been in there a
few moments, you find it is not as
cool as you thought. There is sort of
a closeness about the air that makes
it sitting and oppressive. If you are
active at all. you feel the perspiration
coming forth. After a while in the
building, it is a relief to get back out
into the open air, where your pores
at least have a chance to breathe, hot
as it may be in temperature.
Where there is a fan, il one gets in
the direct blast of it., he is chilled
with a blast that in time goes to his
head, leaving him dizzy and sick.
Too often, working where there is
n fan, unless one can be in more or
less the direct draft of it, he gets
none of the benefits of it. And if his
work takes him alternately in and out
of the draft, he feels all the warmer
when AWAY from it for having been
in the chilling blast.

There arc pleasures 9nd amuse-
ments that the people Of The world
have accepted as more or less nee
sary-at least permissible part Oh
living that, fine as they feel in Ger!
tain times and ways, are still as arti-
fetal and unsatisfactory as man-madc
breczes.
There is no happiness like the hap
piness of living simply, naturally. 1t
is to sophistication as a cooling
breeze on a hilltop is to trying to
create that breeze with a fan.

Miss RandIe Valves
Mails CHARGE Defense

Rosalyn Randle, personality build
er, diet expert and philosopher, en-
tered a plea Of nolo contendere in
District Court today, before Justice
Jesse G. Atkins, to an indictment
charging her with using the mails
to defraud.
Justice Adkins referred the case
to the probation officer and SEN
fencing will come later.
Justice Adkins explained to Mrs,
Randle, after her attorney, Robert
H. Mcneil, had stated her wishes,
that the plea Of nolo contendere was
equivalent to guilty. The jurist
questioned her closely, saying from
the bench that he did not want her
later to say she did not realize the
effect Of the plea.
The Government was represented
by Assistant United States Attorney
Arthur B. Caldwell, who successfully
prosecuted q case before q District
Court jury recently, charging Mrs.
Randle with false pretenses. She
has not been sentenced on this case

money.

D. T.. Quota Of Cadets
May Come Up Again
MeNory to Remove His
Objection If West Point
Quote Is in Proportion

Although the Senate postponed
action yesterday on the bill to in
crease the Districts quota of cadets
at West Point from five to nine,
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee expressed belief
there would be further opportunity
to consider the measure during the
present session.
Minority Leader McNary of Ore
gon, who objected to passage Of
the measure, said he would have no
objection If it provided fair repre-

with the States. He took the view
yesterday, however, that it would
give the District a quota out of pro-
portion to the number permitted
to the States.
Senator King and Senator Hill,

Little Left Of Only $500
Provided by House for Hearings

Admitting that the Districts
present milk regulations are quite
good" in comparison with many
other cities. Mr.. Frank suggested
that the uniform code of the Public
Health Service might advantageously
be substituted. This uniform code,
he explained, is now in effect in
more than $1,000 communities in 80
States.

Services uniform code had a num-
ber Of advantages. Among them he
listed:
l. 1t gives the health officer the
benefit Of the experience of other
health officers.
2. It minimizes the misunderstand-
ing between health departments and
the milk industry.
8. It serves to reduce court cases
aud makes them more likely to be
decided IN favor Of the Health De-
partment.
4. It leads to greater stability in
milk control.
Mr.. Frank was particularly criti-
cal Of the score card used by the
Health Department in rating both
producers and distributors. He said
the score card was started as an
educational DEVICE" that 1t is COM
plicated and represents fictitious
accuracy"

Modern Education
Trend al St. John S,
Goucher Cited
Council on Education
Hears V. T. Thoyer as
Convention Opens

st. Johns College at Annapolis
and Goucher College at Baltimore
were cited today as seats of modern
educational trends as the American
Council on Education opened its 22d
annual meeting at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.
Vivian T. Thayer, chairman of the
Commission on Secondary School
Curriculum of the Progressive Edu-
cation Association, referred to the
st. Johns curriculum as one of the
modern trends, whose spokesman is
Robert M. Hutchins, president of
the University of Chicago. The
four-year course at the Annapolis
institution is based on study of the
100 greatest books Of all time. Mr..
Thayer classed this as a "bookish"
method OF obtaining general educa-
ton.
He mentioned Goucher as an in
stitution where educational obiec-
tives are "functional"-a curriculum
based on the needs of a Goucher
student in life.
Junior College Trend Cited.
Mr.. Thayer also pointed out to the
educators a trend in some public
school systems toward establishing
public junior colleges for pupils
within the age group of 16 to 20
years. This tendency, he said, is re-
lated to the unemployment problem.
More and more educators, he said,
are concerned with developing an
adequate curriculum based on the
study of certain groups of individ-
uals and analysis Of their needs.
Ben Cherrington, chief of the Di-
vision of Cultural Relations of the
State Department, spoke briefly on
the opportunities of improving cul-
tural relations with the Latin Amer
lean republics. There is a genuine
willingness on the part of these re-
publics, he said, for such cultural
exchange, provided it is done with
out Interior motive and because of
the intrinsic merit of the exchange.
George F. Zook, president of the
council, presented an annual report
in which he outlined the work of
the council in the fields of youth,
educational finance, feature educa-
ton and educational motion pic
lures.
Suggests Survey Service.
He suggested the expansion in the
future in the form of survey serv-
ice, a legislative service to report
on educational projects coming be-
fore Congress and a test advisory
service.
THE day is past when educational
policies can be formed by some
body's opinion, no matter how digni-
fed he said. The policies, he in
dicated, should be formed on the
basis Of large scale research and
study.
During the afternoon, the session
broke up into five separate sections
at which reports by the American
Youth Commission, the financial
advisory service, the motion picture
project, teacher education and a
cooperative study of secondary
school standards were presented.
The session will close tomorrow
afternoon after a general discussion
Of education in the United States.
Sir Wilmott Lewis, Washington
correspondent of the London Times,
will be the speaker at banquet
tonight at 7 O'Clock.

MANY RESPONSES
 TO BLOOD PLEA
Hospital Reports Two of Donors Had Desired
 Type

The Waterbury hospital today praised the immediate response of the public to an appeal yesterday for blood donors for a patient who was in critical need of transfusions.
 Attaches said that shortly after the appeal was made telephone calls began to come in such num- bers that helpers were needed to take them all. About 90 persons responded to the plea, the attaches said.
 The response was successful not only in the number of volunteers to offer their blood, but in the more important fact that two of them were compatible, authorities said, adcing that the patient received two transfusions today, showed irn- provement, but would probably need additional transfusions.
