STATUS OF PWA
EXPLAINED HERE
Commissioner Wade Quotes
Explanation By Admin
istrator Carmody

The present status Of Public
Works Administration projects in
Wilmington was explained by John
M. Carmody, administrator of the
Federal Works Agency, Washing
ton, D. c., in the following letter
received yesterday by James Z. L.
Wade, commissioner Of public
works:
IT find that public officials are
having difficulty to explain to peo'
pie in their communities who are in
terested in public works projects
that programs such as PWA depend
wholly on whether or not they are
authorized by the congress and ap-
preparations made for carrying
them IN.
"PWA has been a magnificent
program. 1t has accomplished a
great deal of good throughout the
United States, but last summer
when congress was asked to make
provision for financing the program
throughout another year, it was de-
cided not to do it. That left us no
alternative except to close out the
projects that had been started under
the old act.
This accounts for the fact that
it is not possible to start new prof.
ects or to add to old ones even
when citizens find that it would be
desirable to do so.
"Inasmuch as the congress is a
wholly independent body that makes
it's own determinations in due time,
1 would not be bold enough to say
what it might do with respect to a
similar program another year, but
until that determination is made it
is impossible to comply with your
request for additional assistance
with your program.
II am sorry, because Wilmington
has made good use of its funds.
Please give my kindest regards to
Mayor Cooper, and please accept
for yourself and extend to him my
best wishes for a Happy New Year"

OUR DOPE INFECTED LIVES
 By Otis H Sneer


 Today in the midst of all our frenzied activity of preparation. it seems quite evident that we have all unnoticeably overlooked one of the most important factors in prep aration for any war that may or may not come.
 Perhaps this brings out the very old maxim, that no matter how smart a man may be-he invariably retains some weak points.
 Today it seems as though even our most learned sages have and are overlooking the most fundamen- tai principles of life-that of build ing up stately manhood
 Of what avail shall be all the most modern machines of war. without men who have cool and stable nerves to man those same ma chimes.
 An old sage anee advised that we look ourselves over as other people see us.
 Apparently, we Is a peace loving nation. have become literally ab- sorbed in our almost endless search for pleasure and worldly gains, un- til we have become as weak-kneed individuals who must necessarily bolster up our nerves by indulging in various kinds of dope
 In submitting the fo1lowing--we are well aware that We may be stirring up a nest of hornets. How ever, there are times when we rath- CT enjoy a little fight for a good cause.
 There happens to be a vast differ ence between pure and unadulterated nerve and that which is bolstered up by various kinds of stimulations.
 Quite a number of years ago, I happened to be a witness to a test of nerves-pure and unadulterated nerve against that which has been built up by poison stimulation.
 One was a rather small man of 40 lbs who neither smoke or drinks while the other was directly the opposite, being a man-and an i'm ense bully, who stood six feet three and weighed 210 lbs, a man with quite reputation of having beaten up several lesser men.
 Personally, saw this little man walk out into the middle of the road and dare this big bully to come out and fight.
 Apparently, this little man had no chance whatsoever, as this big bully seemed to be fully able to break this little man over his knee. And yet this big one refused to come out and fight, and why? All because he had lost his stimulant and likewise he had lost his nerve.
 The same that applies to an in- diYidual-likewise ma yoften apply to a nation. Because a nation is prone to follow a leader-and no matter how great a leader may be yet he is only a man.
 Whenever, we get right down to brass Jacks and look the truth square in the fact it is rather amaz- ing just what we are going to find.
 Perhaps, we might be quite safe to venture a wager that scarcely more than ten percent of the male population of this great land of ours are free from some form of poisonous stimulant.
 And it is astounding just how

 ON BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

To be known as a good bridge player is a reputation in itself. even if you are only good enough to beat the neighboring champs; but to be- come a world champion overnight must have brought a thrill to the four men who won the masters team of -four championship this year. Their team was made up at the last moment. Alvin R. Roth and Oscar J. Brotman of Washing ton, D. C., had no teammates. Ber- tran Lebhar, Jr., of New Rochelle, N. Y, and Samuel Katz of Newark, N. J., were in the same position, so they formed team and won the championship. Lebhar demonstrat- ed in today's hand that fine bridge, not luck, brought them the title.
 IL looked natural for the de- clarer to trump the opening club lead, but Lebhar (West) took time out to count his tricks and decided to discard small diamond from dummy. South continued with the ace 1s clubs and again Lebhar re- fused to trump In dummy, discard ing the five of diamonds.

PATTERN 239
SMART SCHOOLGIRL BOLERO-DRESS

Every youngSter who knows her fashion p's and as insists upon a bolero ensemble for school time wear. Claire Tilden has designed Pattern 239 both for jaunty style and for easy making. The smart frock has a f1aring skirt that's cut in just two sections, and Wlde front-curved waistline that gives that smooth and trim look through the middle. Notice that the bodice is tull-cut to soften adoleScent lines with darts at the shoulders and gathers above the waist to hold in the fullness. The sleeves may be either long or short, and you might use a small colorful ribbon bow just below the rounded collar. You'll like the well-cut lines of the bolero which also may have long or short sleeves. A nice suggestion is to make the bodice of the frock ill crisp contrast to the skirt, girdle and be- lero, giving a three-piece illusion. Be sure to use the Sewing Guide that accompanies the pattern to fininsh this spirited style with the greatest of speed and efficiency.
 Pattern 239 is cut in girls sizes G. 8, 10 and 12. Size 12, bolero, girdle and skirt, requires 2 S-4 yards 39 inch fabric; bodice, 3-4 yard con- traSt.

 The old reliable calamine lotion is most satisfactory when itching is more intense. It is made by mixing a dram (teaspoonful of powdered calamine, two drams of powdered zinc oxide ,one-half ounce (table- sponfuD of glycerin, four ounces of lime water and enough plain water or rose water to make 8 ounces (one- half pint) of lotion. This is to be shaken up well and sopped on the itching skin with fingers, as often as needed, allowed to dry without rubbing. In cases where itching is extreme, use one ounce of per cent carbolic acid solution q to 20 phenoD in place of one ounce of water or rose water in the formula.
