WORK FOR CCC
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - t n e cislaan
conservation corps, in its annual
report to the president, said today
there was enough public work 10
be done to justify the corps ex-
istence until 1890.
The report was prepared by
Robert Fechner, director OF the
corps, who died early this month.
II was transmitted to the presi-
dent by James J. McEntee, acting
director.
"A state survey conducted dur
ing the year indicated McEntee
said in his letter of transmittal'
that work projects already sug-
gested by federal and state depart
ments would keep a CCC OF LOU
camps busy for from 80 to %
years"
The report said nothing Of the
recent bills introduced in congress
to provide military training In the
CCC. 1t did say:
"While the CCC does not
teach military training, 1t does
strengthen national defense by
teaching discipline, by improv-
ing the physical training OF
young men, by training them
In slxills which would be use
full in an emergency and by
teaching them to live together,
work together and exert their
energies as a team"
The report estimated continual
ton of the corps on its present
basis would cost the taxpayers
$500, 900 900 annually.

CALLS DEMOS OFFICE;
OPERATOR SAYS
"DARKY HEADQUARTERS
(by S. r. Anderson)

Does the Negro vote of Ka-
nawha county and the state of
West Virginia, mean no more
to the Kanawha county white
Democratic personnel than to
think of it's county Negro adj
junct as "The Darky Head
quarters. -.
Last week, it is alleged,
call was made over the telephone
to the County Democratic Head
quarters, and asked the privi-
lege to speak with Mr.. Eddie
James, the head of the Negro
Department in that set-up. The
white lady who answered the
telephone call did not seem to
know any Mr.. Eddie James corr
necte with the headquarters, 50
it is alleged. 49,.
When she was told that it was
the man who headed up the
colored department, she is re-
ported to have said, ooh, the
darky headquarters here.
If this is true, and it is re-
ported on reliable authority, it
manifests little respect and TO
consideration of the value Of
Negro vote. 81.
There is no expression Of con-
tempt which the Negro feels
more keenly, and resents with
more bitterness than the often
sive term "Darky."

Wives Seem To Fear
Blondes More Than Bombs
BY RUTH

1t seems that women are patri-
otic-up to a point. That point is
where another woman steps into
the picture.
There has been a little misun-
Outstanding between Uncle S a m
and the wives of some of the Ohio
men at Camp Shelby in MISSISSIPPI
pi.
1t seems that one of Uncle Sans
official nieces-a hostess at Camp
Shelby-obligingly offered to get
dates for any married soldiers who
wanted them. At least that is the
story the wives heard. And so the
wives went up in arms.
But the hostess proposal was
coun,ermanded by a Major-Gen-
eral-just in time to keep III e
wives from going to war with I'm
Gle Sam.
One woman living near the
camp, where She could keep an
eye on her husband, expressed the
sentiments of all the wives of SOL
diers at Camp Shelby. Nobody
had better get a date with my
husband" she said.
So the Ohio women who are liv-
ing in the vicinity of the camp
while their husbands are in train
ing have decided to take this
military matter" into their own
hands.

A Three Days
Cough is Your
Danger Signal

Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat Of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inf1amed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial processw with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
hitting rest and sleep, or you are tc
nave your money back. (Adv.)
