Sciences. Miss Jeanne McIvor So

Cooper, vice president. After COM

1t is believed that this fight
against discrimination will help
the fight against Jim Crowism
in the major baseball leagues.
Leaders of the ABC in recent
years in order to justify the I'M
American clause in their constit-
ution claimed that the major
leagues practice the same discrim-
ination and therefore see nothing
wrong in their action.

HEART THROBS
Make not mn FATHERS ho,.se

"Mdke not my Fathers house
house of Merchandise"
o Lord. l come to Thee in prayer
once more;
But pardon, if I do not kneel be-
fore
Thy gracious presence, for my
knees are sore
With so much walking. In my
chair instead
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my
head.
I've labored in Thy vineyard. Thou
dost know;
I've sold ten tickets to the min
strel show;
I've called on fifteen strangers in
our town,
Their contributions to our church
put down;
I've baked a pot of beans for Sat-
urday's spree,
An old-time supper it is going to
be;
I've dressed three dolls, too, for
our annual fair,
And made a cake which we must
rattle there.
Now, with Thy boundless wisdom,
so sublime,
Thou knowest that these duties all
take time;
have no time to fight my spirits
foes;
have no time to mend my hus-
bands clothes;
My children roam the street from
morn till night,
/ have no time to teach them to
do right.
But. Thou, o Lord, considering all
my cares,
Will count them righteous, also
heed my prayers,
Bless the bean supper and the
minstrel show,
And put it In the hearts of all to
go;
Induce the visitors to patronize,
The men who in our program ad-
vertise;
Because I've chased those merch-
ants till they hid,
Whene'er they saw me coming;
yes, they did.
Increase the contributions to our
fair,
And bless the people who assemble
there.
Bless Thou the grab-bag and the
gypsy tent,
The flower table and the cake
that's sent;
May our whist club be to our ser
vice blest,
The dancing party gayer than the
rest;
And when Thou has bestowed
these blessings, then,
We pray that Thou will bless our
souls. Amen.

as radio singer; Robert BoSt-

ing are a source of enjoyment
for lovers of organ music; Luis

pa and Angelo Guida, of Ybor
City, who, dressed in Spanish

INTERIOR OF BOTH APART
MENTS WRECKED: OWNERS
ABSENT; ENGINES CALLED
TOO LATE

The apartment house on Laird
street, near White street, owned
by Ross c. Sawyer, was the scene
of a fire Saturday afternoon
which practically destroyed the
entire interior. The apartment
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. George
S. Johns. Apartment B, was
where the fire started, it is be-
lieved. Mrs. c. N. Dickey Occu-
pied Apartment A, which was
also destroyed by the blaze.
The alarm was turned in at
$40 o'clock and when the fire
departments apparati arrived
at the scene the interior was
found to be a blazing furnace,
which led to the belief that the
blaze had been burning some
time before the alarm was sent
in. Mr.. and Mrs. Johns and Mrs.
Dickey had left the apartment
house about two hours before the
fire was discovered and were
fishing from the highway, it was
learned.
There has been nothing discov-
cred which would throw any
light on the cause that led to the
fire 1t was learned at the office
of the rental agents this morning
that the opinion was advanced
that a short circuit in the radio
may have been the cause.
AS far as can be learned the
loss is partly covered by inSur-
ance.

PHILADELPHIA. June a.
Republicans from all over the
nation gathered here today amid
what many declared the bright
est prospects for a presidential
drive" since 1923 when Calvin
Coolidge stated that he did not
choose TO run.
Many loose ends. however. re-
manned to be gathered together
before the convention could get
down to the business of selecting
a candidate from the list of thir-
teen main and dark horse entries
now recorded. National Chair
man John d. NJ. Hamilton called
the first session to order at 11:43
o'clock this morning.

ballot that event will take place
Thomas E. Dewey, New York
City prosecutor, is ranking man

pre-convention preferential votes

Harold StasSen, 33-year-old
governor of Minnesota, will de-
liver the keynote speech tonight
Platform of the party has been
presented in final draft and the
delegates will receive it at to-
morrow's session Foreign rela-
tons is the main bone of conten-
tion-and it is reported that the
COPS will present a ''no-war.

question.
Various delegates were sup
porting a Stop Willkie drive"
declaring that the party should
nominate man who has consis-
tently supported the party over
a long period of years. They

AQuCduCt Commission
Included In Water Bill
Navy Project Amendment
Accepted By Congress
Saturday; Importance
Of Speed Stressed

LEGAL agencies were looking
forward today to an early starr
on the aqueduct from the main
land TO Key West as a result of
action ccnsumated Saturday in
Washington. D. c.. when the
House of Representatives ap-
proved the navy bill calling for
a s2.ooo.oo0 expenditure on the
line.
The bill had been previously
approved by the House, but in
the Senate an amendment had
been added which brought the
Florida Keys Aqueduct Commits
sion into the picture with its ST.
100000 project made up of mil
liOn-dollar loan from the RFC
and a WPA labor project of S44O.-
300. .
Some opposition to the amend
ment, both in the Senate and
House, by Senator Andrews and
Representative Patton, was voic-
ed Both questioned whether the
amendment made cooperation
by the state agency clearly per-
missive. Floor discussion and
conferences, however. brought
out that the proviso phrase clear
ly permitted the navy to work
alone or with the Aqueduct Com
mission, as it may choose. With
that understanding. the bill re-
celved unanimous support.
Following passage, the navy in
dictated that it would consider a
cooperation proposal from the
commission through Attorney s.
P Robineau- It was acknow-
lodged that the commission prof.
ect would facilitate acquisition
of state-owned Tights-of-way.
The navy department stressed
the importance of speed in con-
structing the line. Local authori-
ties were of the opinion that .
definite start on the project would
come in a short time.
