fixed bayonets. They used tear
gas to hold the crowds back and
on at least one accession broke uI
demonstrations by spraying the
mob with water sprinklers.
Armored cars patrolled around
the palace, and the capital streets
rumbled with their passing, ma
chine guns bristling from every
turret..
The former minister of popular
culture, M. Ghita, was arrested
for delivering an inflamatory
speech.
The Bucharest radio announced
the public had been allowed three
days in which to express its feel

this period now was over and

feeling was reported throughout
Rumania, with greatest outbreaks
here, at Brasov and at Cluj, where
the Italian consul was beaten.
The disorders began Sunday and
spread throughout the day and
night.
Peasants Aiming
In the affected northern section
of the province, peasants with
farm tools, shotguns and long
knives were reported taking up
t r e n C h positions abandoned by
some Rumanian military forces.
Widest riot scenes were enacted
here in the capital, at Cluj, an
Gent capital of Pennsylvania, and
at Sibiu, center of a German mi
nority.
Troops used bayonets, tear gas
and water %sprinklers to try to curb
the crowds.
AS the night wore on, the streets
of Bucharest reechoed to the con-
slant pound of hobnailed boots as
more and more gendarmes and
soldiers were pressed into service.
Will Not Move
Priests, army officers, govern
ment officials, students and rug
ged mountaineers rubbed should
ers in the milling througs. The
commander of the Rumanian army
division announced his men would
die to the last man rather than
abandon their present frontier.
CThe German radio carried re-
ports from Bucharest that rumors
were rife in Bucharest of cabinet
designations. However, there was
no immediate confirmation.)
The most serious outbreaks oc-
CURED in Cluj, which was cut off
from the outside world when COM
munications, including airplane
travel, were suspended.
In Bucharest itself simultaneous
protest meetings began a m i d

The crowds of men and women
were joined by armed police

Soldiers quickly appeared, whip
ped covers from machine guns
and with fixed bayonets tried to
disperse the throngs.
Screams of women who Joined
their menfolk in angrily shouted
protests could be heard above the
commands of the officers trying
to restore order.
For almost an hour the crowds
swarmed through B NC h a r e S I
streets and finally started a dash
toward King Carols palice. Every
street leading to the palace was
packed with massed soldiers who
charged into them and forced a
retreat.

Hears Director
Of Job Service

Professional and skilled workers
as we'll as domestic workers and
laborers are listed with the United
States Employment Service in the
District, Edwin Jones, the director,
stressed in a talk yesterday.
Mr.. Jones, who addressed the
local branch of the American As
ISOLATION of University Women at
its weekly tea, said few employers
have learned to come to the service
for professional people. He pointed
out, however, that whereas only IS
commercial and professional women
were placed monthly through the
center in 1886, approximately $50
such workers are placed monthly
now.
The Government also has called
on the service for many technical
and professional workers for posi-
tons in which no civil service ex-
animation was required, he added
Woman workers are still regarded
as temporary employees by many
employers, who want to know when
they plan to marry if they are
single, he said.
Miss nellie L. 1ngles, chairman OF
legal and economic status of women,
introduced the speaker. Mrs. A. K.
Balls was hostess at the tea.

RubyA.B
Club Speaker

One OF the most difficult problems
in writing book on the life of Mrs
Franklin D. Roosevelt was to keer
1t from becoming a eulogy, Ruby A
Black, author of Eleanor Roosevelt,
A Biography" told members of the
Woman's National Democratic Club
at luncheon yesterday.
Miss Black said that in looking
into the sources of criticisms d.
rected at the Presidents wife she
frequently discovered that "others
had made the mistakes and Mrs.
Roosevelt had covered up for them. -
THE more people I talked to, the
more I found that was good" she
declared.
The hardest job of all in writing
the book, she asserted, was ar
ranging words to tell the story Of
an amazing life-a life which is con-
sistent and yet contradictory. life
that is highly significant in the his
tory of our world. which is still de-
veloping and developing new as
pects."
Contrary to her expectations, she
added. the easiest part of her job
was finding material which had
never before ben printed. Miss
Black remarked she was particu-
larly surprised at this. as she has
covered" Mrs. Roosevelt since 1888.
The speaker admitted that writing
a book was the hardest job she has
ever done.
Miss Mary E Blackwell. second
vice president of the club, presided
at the luncheon.

go to war to make their hate even

in an apron and a short temper
because there were too many cooks
trying to spoil his broth. .Specifi-
cally, said "broth" consisted of
gatherings Qoathsome), spaghetti

HOW ONE LEADER CAN HURT
ANOTHER

ONE LEADER can hurt the
other especially in the eyes of
narrow minded individuals. We
have in our city a well learned
minister that has run completely
out in the eyes of every one ex-
cept the politicians and stands as
2 beggar before them. In my opir-
ion his first needs is a converted
heart. He has pastored several
churches in the city. During his
PASTORAL career, he borrowed from
one of his members a church guide
or a director, with no intention of
returning it. He has been asked
for the book several times. De-
clares that he did not have it. We
realize that lying and stealing goes
together We do regret very much
to have it come from our pulpit
But when you are in need Of a
converted heart it does not matter
who you are. you just need that.
And to show that this individual
is really in need, instead of at least
giving satisfaction as a Christian
would have, his reply was, GET
YOUR HAT AND GET OUT OF
MY HOUSE. If you were a man I
would stop you from asking me for
that book! The main thing is, if he
were not so evil-hearted he would
return the book. But for the lack
of a converted heart he cannot
make it.
