Schwob Is Paid Tribute
By St. Francis CoIIeqe

LORETTO, Pa, Sept. 10 (P.-
Little st. Francis College lowered
its flag to half staff today because
of the death of Charles M Schwab,
its most prominent alumnus and
donor of its hall of science.
Mr.. Schwabs gift of the hall to
his alma mater was one of many
in this and other Western Penn
sylvania communities associated
with his youth and his rise to
power in the steel industry.
Others included the Gothic struc-
ure here known as the Carmelite
Monastery, but formally dedicated
as the Carmel Cor garden place.
of St. Therese of Lisieux. The
other, to which Mr.. Schwab's sister
belongs, came from France in 1926
at the invitation of Bishop John
Joseph McCort.
He also erected a new building
for st. Michae's Catholic Church
founded by the Russian prince,
Father Gallitzin-in Loretto; the
st. Thomas Church to Braddock
to honor Father Hickey, who offlci-
ated at his wedding; boys indus

Schwob, Steel Titan, Is Dead
After AIger-Like Career
End Comes at II:
Health Declined
Since Wife's Death
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Death at
II has ended the fabulous career Of
Charles M. Schwab, the 81 a day
stake driver who became one Of
Americas steel titans.
The white-haired one-t time strong
man of Steel" first president of the
billion dollar United States Steel
Corp, and founder of the Bethle-
hem Steel Co., died peacefully in his
Park avenue apartment last night OF
coronary thrombosis.
At his beside we're his brother Ed
ward and the latter's wife.
HE just slipped away" said the
brother.
Declined After Wife Died.
Mr.. Schwab, who returned from
Europe August 81. had been in poor
health since the death last January
of his wife, whose inspiration he
often said brought him more happi-
ness than his power or his millions.
Funeral services, his brother said,
probably will be held Thursday at
ST. Patricks Cathedral.
Mr.. Schwab's other survivors are
two sisters, Mrs. David Barry and
Sister Cecilia. a nun in the Car
melite Monastery, Loretto, Pa,
which Mr.. Schwab built for the Or

come from? Well, the sponsor
usually gets 1t through cooper
ating agency. 1t is likely to be the
Federal Surplus Commodities Corp.
Or parent-teacher association may
chip in.
Some of it comes from w. p. A.
gardens. The school board and
interested individuals will donate
garden plots, tools, seed and fertili-
er. w. P. A. workers do the rest.
The produce is canned and placed
in school-lunch kitchens.
This kind of business is one of the
most heart-warming activities that
I know about. The value of these
lunch projects to the kids con-
cerned can hardly be exaggerated.
In many cases, the lunch they re-
ceive is the only adequate meal of
the day. Teachers report that there
are gains in weight and general
health, greater interest and progress
nm school work, more regular at
| tendance.
At the end of the last school year,
w. P. A. lunch projects were operat-
fng IN AZ States and the District of
| Columbia. Half a million children
were being served by 145O0 w. P.
A. workers in $500 schools. But
America is a big country and this
is only a drop in the bucket. At
least four times as many needy chill
dren should be receiving these
lunches.
Purpose Is Coordination.
1t should be borne in mind that
the purpose of the w. P. A. pro-
gram is to provide work for needy
able-bodied workers on projects
which are socially useful to their
communities. 1t should be remem-
bered also that the w. P. A. works
on hundreds Of different kinds of
projects-from building city streets
to work on malaria control.
We have had quick look at the
functions of the five agencies that
have been consolidated under the
F. w. A. The activities of these
agencies touch each other. For this
reason, they could be consolidated
easily with resulting efficiency and
economy. 1t is not intended to do
away with any of these functions.
The sole purpose of the Federal
Works Agency is coordination.
The consolidation of these
agencies is intended, as the Presi-
dent said in his message to Con-
gress, ito improve the administra-
tive management of the Republic"
1t is one move among many whose
purpose is to make sure that this
democratic Government is able to
do its job promptly and efficiently,
without waste or lost motion. Our
main aim is to give to the people
OF the United States the best pos
sible results for the money spent.

done by the w. P. A., that on air
ports should be mentioned. w. P. A.
workers have constructed or i'm
proved 639 airport sites, at cost in
Federal funds of S134 ,000,00 These
airports are not only of great COM
mercial importance, but are also a
prime necessity in national defense.
1t should be emphasized that not
all P. w. A. projects involve con-
struction. From 18 to 20 per cent
of total employment has been pro-
vided in other fields. The purpose
of these non-construction activities
is to give employment to profess
sional and white-collar people and
to women who are heads of families.
Women are employed in sewing
rooms, in canning food for relief
distribution, in preparing and serv-
ing school lunches and on house
keeping-aid projects. Professional
and white-collar projects involve
research, clerical, library and
museum work; medical, dental and
nursing services, ana various cul-
tural projects.
Suppose we talk about school
lunch projects. They provide free
hot lunches for children in public
schools who don't get enough to eat.
The sponsor is usually the county
commissioners or the local school
board. For such a project to be
approved, the sponsor must show
that the school has children from
needy families who are under
nourished. And suitable workers
must be available from local relief
rolls-cooks, servers, etc.

he could be squeezed in diamonds and spades. Declarer cashed the spade ace and diamond king, estab- fishing two suits against himself. Now he proceeded to play the clubs. but East simply clung tU a high spade and high diamond, West held three hearts, and the thirteenth trick was lost to the heart queen.
 The normal and correct play, after winning the first diamond, is to run off the clubs, discarding two small hearts and 8 diamond from dummy. Then lead heart to dum- my, and return with the spade ace. At this point, South is left with one heart, and the ace-six of diamonds North holds the spade ten and heart king-ten. East has to save two dia- monds. If his other card is a heart, then West will be squeezed when the king of diamonds is cashed. If East's third card is a spade, then he is void of hearts, and dummys hearts are major tenace over West.
 Today's bridge quiz: If you hold four trumps and a singleton. and have the opening lead, should you lead the singleton?
 Answer: Rarely, if ever, does 1t pay to open a singleton when hold ing four trumps. You should open your long suit and try to force the declarer to ruff, so that you may gain control of the trump situation.

3 McKENNEY'S
 BRIDGE QUIZ

Here is the sixth misplayed hand I have watched recently. I would like to give a little advice to the average player today. Unless you play your cards well, don't stretch your bidding to grand slams. Be content with small slam. If you think you have chance to make small slam, it might be better to be content with a game bid. There :s 8 lot of fun in bidding and making slams, but losing them through mis- play is very costly.
 The grand slam bid on 5oday's hand can be made. North and South were using the Blackwood Convention. The diamond opening was won by declarer with the king. South could count 12 top tricks. Ob- viously East alone could stop the diamond suit. If he also held the queen-jack of hearts, he could be squeezed in the red suits. If he held the king -queen- jack of spades,

BY FRANK BUCK WORLD OF YESTERDAY
 Frank Bucks Jungleland Worlds Fair, New York

Dear Walter:-
 Not having Girl Friday-or even one named Saturday-but only a Number One Boy named All who cannot write or speak English-1 am writing this letter myself.
 Here in my exhibit at the World of Tomorrow your Broadway seems very far away, even though can ,dimly see the bright lights you love reflected in the sky to the west. For your Broadway with its celebrities, persons and personalities, is the world of today. While I, here at the Fair, am living among my wild animals in an electric and dynamic world of tomorrow, although the animals insist 1t is yesterday!
 It is easy to see here that the world of man is changing and has vastly changed. But in 25 years of bring ing lem back alive I can't help but feel that the world of animals, birds and reptiles has changed not at all since man shed his neural fur overcoat and bent his elbow over dry martinis instead of behind an ironwood bow and tipped arrow in the jungles of India.
 I very often wonder what the one thousand simians now living on my Monkey mountain think when they look up and see the white tip of Grover Whalen's trylon, or receive, tossed across the water-moat, the , end of a today-and-future hotdog which is good enough for Sadie Jones of Brooklyn, the Roosevelt's of Hyde Park, and the royal fam- fly of Britain. I still think my mon- keys would rather have the conser- vative food of their yesterdays-a nice ripe banana.
 Man has changed. Walter. He is living in world of today and tomorrow. But have the beasts of the field and the birds of the air changed? I think not.
 The animals, Walter, have re- mained unchanged and unchang- ing. equally savage, equally clever, with the same habits and instincts they had thousands of years ago. For instance:
 The Malayan tapir, with its long proboscis-lik snout, short tail, and thick skin scantily covered with hair is the oldest creature on earth and has remained practically un- changed in form and habit since prehistoric times. It is still mild and inoffensive, still eats the tender herbs and grasses of the jungle river banks, and with its ancient heri- tage still regards man a bit curious ly and pittingly.
 Now take the tiger. He still seur- passes all other animals in strength and ferocity. The female of the species still has from two to four cubs at time, still kills with fang and claw, cuts up meat for her babies without the aid of the medi- cal profession, teaches them to hunt
