Northwest Council
Backs Convention
Delegate Bill
Reiterotes Opposition
To High School
Froternities, Sororities

Support of the Capper bill, which
would permit the District to elect
delegates to the national political
conventions, was voted by the North
west Citizens Council, which met
last night in the home of H. l..
Colman, 1924 Brandywine street
NV.
Calling the bill a step toward
national representation, Culbert
Chamberlain, in introducing the mo-
tipn, declared that the measure
paved the way for constructive work
toward suffrage in the District.
Association members commended
President Roosevelt upon his selec-
ton of John Russell Young, who
was sworn in yesterday as District
Commissioner, although expressing
the opinion that a chance to vote
on the selection by the citizens
associations would have been appre-
ciated.
The council Endorsed the House
bill granting District citizens the
right to elect the two civilian Com
missioners.
Opposes Fraternities.
The council reiterated its opposi-
ton to high school fraternities and
sororities, whether they were au-
thorized or unauthorized, stating
that such organizations were opposed
to democratic government. On the
suggestion of Mrs. Leslie B. Wright,
the action was directed to the atten-
ton of the Home and School Asso-
citation of Woodrow Wilson High
School.
The bill which would allow teach
ers in the District schools a one
year sabbatical leave for advanced
study was approved, as was a bill
which charges the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic with the duty
Of recording auto liens.
The proposed athletic stadium for
the District was approved, with the
provisos that the plant must seat
100000 persons and that the money
should not be taken from District
residents by additional taxes.
In Tilt With Ballou.
A letter from DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of public schools,
denying the councils claim of pre-
meditated failure" to state definite
stand on the rezoning of property
near Janney School, was read. The
council had accused DR.. Ballou of
failure to state his position until
after the property had been re-
zoned, and last night voted to answer
his letter with specific proof of his
foreknowledge of the rezoning action.
Bills calling for the regulation of
dentists, BARRIERS, embalmers and
chiropodists were approved.
Completion of a rifle range for
Woodrow Wilson High School was
requested.

There is a generous portion of comedy in the story, comedy which Rooney does to perfection because it is genuine boyhood comedy. And the story has it's drama, it's tears. it's thrills and, above all, it's triumphs the sort that brings an exultant lump into your throat.

BR0MFIELD NOVEL NOW PLAYING AT
 10TH CENTURY
The Rains Came" Stars Myrnd LoY, Tyrone Pow
 CT and George Brent

Daryl F. Zanuck's production of The Rains Came the sensa- tionally successful best-seller by Louis Bromfield, was presented at the, 20th Century Theatre yester- day by 20th Century Fox, with Myr- ma Loy, Tyrone Power and George Brent in the stellar roles, and the occasion was one of which the producer may well be proud.
 For truly great motion picture has been made of Bromfield s thrilling story of a handful of humans cut off from the world in the colorful mythical city of Ranchipur, India-their emotions at the breaking point their lives at the climax, and all restraint swept away as the untamed forces of nature ravage the earth All the fascinating characters come magi- cally to life and. the earthquake, fire and flood scenes are repro duced with a breath-taking realism unequalled in the memory of this reviewer.
 Mylna Loy deserts the perfect wife role to play the amorous Lady Esketh and proved more en- trancing than ever as this lady of many loves. Tyrone Power has his most romantic and best role as Major Rama Safti. the handsome, high-caste Hindu, with whom Lady Esketh finds the only real love of her life And George Brent is splendid as the world weary Tom Ransome, a ghost out Of Lady Esketh's past
 Featured in the perfect support ing cast are Brenda Joyce, zan- uck's latest discovery, who tri- umphs in her film debut as Fern Simon

WISDOM
of the

The Accepted
Worship

do not seek for the City of
God on earth, for it is not built
of wood or stone; but seek it in
the soul of the man who is at
peace with himself and is a lover
of true wisdom.
IF man practices additions of
the body, but defiles his mind; if
he offers hetacombs, POUNDS a tenn
pie, adorns a shrine, and does moth
ing for making his soul beautiful,
let him not be called religious. He
has wandered far from real relig-
ion, mistaking ritual for holiness;
attempting, as it were, to bribe
the incorruptible I'd to flatter
Him whom none can flatter. God
welcomes the genuine service of a
soul, the sacrifice of truth, but
from display of wealth He turns
away.
"Will any man with impure soul
and with no intention to repent
dare to approach the most High
God? The grateful soul of the wise
man is the true altar of Cod
PhilO Judaeus.
According to Judaeus the City of
God is not on earth. It is not a
great, imposing city of material
power or strength. It is not evil
dent in outside sources. The City
of God is in the soul of man who
is at peace with himself and is a
lover of true wisdom.
The City of God is in the soul
of man. Each man can find it in
his own soul if he, himself, is at
peace with himself. 1t is easily OBJ
tainable; it does not depend on
wealth or possessions or ability OF
talent. The City of God is present
in mans own soul. All he has ia
do is to be calm and tranquil to
reach it and live in it.
Only he is truly religious, &C.
cording to Philo Judaeus, who pos.
sesses beautiful soul. Not he who
does things for pride or ostenta.
ton; not he who follows ritual
without understanding the beauty
and the significance which the rit-
ual is meant to portray. "God," he
says, "can neither be bribed MOI
flattered."

D,,cb has been said, and will con-
mo 70 be said, about Schechter
y man. the scholar, the hasid,
~ the founder in this country of
Conservative Judaism. Yet in none
! these roles does his true dis
notion lie. AS a man. Schechter
al his human failings. AS a schO-
n he had his peers. AS a hasid,
! was too modern to be true to
me AS founder in America of
konservative Judaism, he may be
lid to have organized a move
bent which is still in too amor
hons a state to do him much
.Vorv. But what Schechter will
'lways be gratefully remembered
br is the fact that more than any
cher Jew in this country, either
ative or foreign born, he set in
notion the inner forces in Jewish
fe that will, in all likelihood, ulti-
hateIy check the disintegratiOn
nth which it is threatened.
