CONDEMNS GOSSIP
ABOUT WOMEN
DEM TIC POLITICAL
LEADER DEGREES Cos
SIPING WOMEN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar. /
ems. -Gossiping women were
condemned and cotton hose were
approved by the members of the
Wolnen's Division of the Com
mittee for the Second Congress
sional District meeting here.
Gossiping and lukewarm wom-
en- Democrats were belabored by
Mrs. Louise McGregor, vice-chair-
man of the State Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee, who said they
have no place in the Democratic
party unless they change their
attitude. She said all women
seeking political office, regard
less of their positions or social
standings, should be protected
from gossiperS.
They are ladies or they
wouldn't be running, she stated,
therefore they should be given
your support and gossiping and
petty jealousy should be eliminat-
ed from the party.
Cotton hose came into the pic
ture when Mrs. Stephen H. FL
field delivered an imprisoned
plea asking the women to go on
record endorsing the wearing of
cotton hose instead of silk hose.
A resolution favoring this plan
was adopted.

GENERALS MEET
CONCHS TONIGHT
MARINES BATTLE NAVY IN
OPENING GAME AT
7:30 O'CLOCK
By BERKY
Basketball Sports Writer


Tonight in the High School
Gymnasium, at $50 o'clock, the
strong Andrew jackson Generals
of Miami match goals with the
Key West High School Conchs in
their return game of the season.
In the initial fracas, the Conchs
suffered defeat by the score of
SO to %. In that contest, the
Key Westers played their usual
style of fast first-half and then
slackening in the last two periods.
The Generals, having put a
strong defensive team on the
floor for the past season, are ex-
pected to bring down Major, their
star forward. If SO, the fans will
see some real action.
Tonight's battle is of great i'm
portance to the Conchs, due to
the fact that it is their last High
School League game of the sea-
son and also their playing tonight
will decide whether they go to
the District Tournament or stay
home.
This writer believes that the lat
ter will be the outcome but hopes
he is mistaken. The boys did
not show up very we'll in the last
game and they Will have to inn
prove a great deal if they wish to
either win tonight or to enter
the district finals.
Marines Play Navy
The opening game will witness
the u. S. Marines playing the
strong U. S. Navy five.
Sailors practiced long and hard
last night and hope to be in Al
condition for the fracas tonight.
Both clubs are fighting for
place among the big Three"
in the league standings, so the
game should prove to be very
fast and exciting.

SUNDAY DINNER
-5uqgeehossS-

NEW cabbage and new potatoes make
In an excellent vegetable combination
especially when served with smoked
ham, tongue or icorned beef, says Miss
Cora Anthony of the APP kitchen. II
you happen, however, to prefer spinach
to cabbage, you will find it of good quail
ity and reasonable in price.
Smoked hams and bacon are unusually
low in price. Fresh pork Joins are some-
what higher but still low along with
other pork cuts. Most poultry continues
to be reasonable. Lamb at the moment
is high.
Apples, grapefruit and both Florida
Valencia and California navel oranges
constitute the best fruit values as iba-
nanas are rather scarce and high. Straw
berries are more plentiful but still far
from cheap. Lemons are a good value.
Three Sunday dinner menus for diff
ferent budgets follow:
Low Cost Dinner
Roast Stuffed Breast of Veal Gravy
Sweet Potatoes Dreamed Carrots
Bread and Butter
Steamed Cherry Pudding with
Cherry Sauce
Tea or Coffee Milk
Moderate Cost Dinner

earth, work on the sinful spots Oh MS
robe until they vanish, if he is to JON
that great throng that John saw. WITH
the knowledge that God has ordained
a plan so that his robe can again be
spotless he must be discOntented with
a spotted robe and keep from the SINS
that stain with scarlet, that mar with
dirt. that soil with quagmire, that
blemish and streak Gods background
of purity: Thus he transforms IN his
life the theory of salvation to the re
atty of God. AS the mother must go
down to the stream with the child, so
those strong in spirit must lead those
that are weak in spirit. Those that
can see the way must lead the blind on
and on to that crimson stream and
wash and wash their robes until they
become white as snow.
God ordained a spotless robe for
man and can only accept a spOtless
robe from man, so he that is cursed
by the leprosy of sin must seek cure
at the appearance of the very first
spot of sin before it undermines and
destroys his whole system, and awakes
him to his senses when it is too late.
He must step out from sin and have
desire to abide forever in righteous
ness and seek that fountain Of blood
that can wash away every stain, that
can erase every spot, that can vanish
every blemish, that can curb every
weakness; he must with a contrite
heart, convinced of guilt, cry like jere-
miah in forseeing the tragic end of
sin. Cry, for the wrong he has will
fully done; cry, for the weaknesses he
did not try to overcome; cry, for the
sin by which he is now enslaved for he
knows not the time, the day, nor the
hour that he will be called to present
his robe.
Only the clean of mind and pure of
heart, only the spotless robes, only the
righteous, the redeemed who have
washed their robes in the cleansing
stream and made them white as snow
can follow in line with this great host
marching up that narrow path to that
great kingdom where spots, stains and
blcmlshes are seen no more.
