IN A recent article I outlined

In this connection there's one addi-
tional bit of advice that / want to
give you: Never bank your fire
aoith anything but fresh coal.
The old fashioned practice of
banking the fire with ashes will not
only result in unsatisfactory heat
but it will cause you no end of
trouble. You can see yourself that

The Hol l. lsh
for q
School Day Lunch
by Dorothy Greig

WHEN the youngsters swoop
w down on you at noon from
school, that's the time to set before
them big steaming bowls Of soup.
Soup is hot-and they should
have a hot dish. It's nourishing,
easily digested. And children never
lose their zest for good soup.
From your standpoint. it's just
about the perfect hot luncheon dish
for it is quick and easy to prepare
and good. Just open the can, add
water or milk as the case may be,
and heat.

To See Senator'S, Barred

Several hundred members of the
American Peace Mobilization from
Eastern Seaboard States, arriving
on an early morning train to pro-
test the British-aid bill, threatened
today to remain on the doorsteps of
the Senate Office Building until
I'VE see our representatives" ..
The peace marchers were barred
from mass entrance into the build
ing, where they planned particularly
to protest to members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
The advance on the Office build
ing was made after the group had
been addressed on the steps of the
Capitol by Representative Mar
cantonio, American Labor party
member from New York.
Met at the door and informed by
1t. r. w. James, manager of the
building. that only delegations Of
three persons would be permitted to
enter at a time, the throng pressed
in a packed mob against the main
entrance.
Their spokesman, DR.. Walter
Scott Nef of New York City,
threatened at first to "stay here
today urtil we are heard" and
later told the peace lobby marchers
I'VE want TO stand on our Con-
Stitutional rights, but We want to
do it in an American, an orderly
way"
With this encouragement from
their leader the throng continued
throughout the midle Of the day
to mill around the terrace of the
building.

Training Plan Would Not
Affect Draft, Legion Says

Advocating legislation which would
register for military training all
youths between 18 and 81 years of
age, the National Legislative Com
mittee of the American Legion
contended here yesterday that this
plan would not interfere with the
present selective service law.
Committee Chairman Irving A.
Jennings of Arizona issued the fol-
lowing statement after three days
of sessions at Legion headquarters:
THE Legion will make every
effort to secure the enactment of
legislation requiring training and
service of every able bodied Ameri-
can youth as he becomes of mill
tary age. In advocating this as a
long-range plan we believe
it is more feasible to train men
of this age bracket and that it
may be done with less economic
disturbance than at any other age.
The Legion is not advocating that
men now registered . be re-
lieved from training"
The Child Welfare Committee of
the Legion met today at the Wash
ington Hotel, hearing Miss Kath-
arine Lenroot describe the work
of the United States Children's
Bureau. Bruce Stubblefeld, ma
tional field secretary of the Legion.
discussed benefits due veterans and
their dependents, and State Legion

Gen. Edgerfou 10 Seek
Canal Zone Housing Funds
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated ETeSS.
NEW YORK, Feb. brig. Gen.
Glen E. Edgerton, governor of the
Panama Canal Zone, said today
that inadequate housing for families
of American workers was "one Of our
difficulties" in the zone
He arrived in the United States
aboard the liner Panama, en- route
to Washington, where he will testify
before Senate and House Appropri-
alton Committees on proposed allo-
cation of $5O,000,000 for the zone.
The amount would include s35, ,000, 900
for construction of a third set Of
locks, on which work was started
several months ago.
Gen. Edgerton said he would make
a special plea for housing funds, ex-
planning, construction of
adequate housing for the families
has not kept pace with the
large increase in employment on
defense projects
He added that there was no
shortage of skilled labor at this
time but that acceleration of de-
fense work might create a shortage.
Of labor unrest in the zone. he
said everybody is at work. Perhaps
there have been some minor COM
plants about compensation, but 1t
doesn't amount to much"

To Help Preserve
British Records
Photographic Project
Explained at Meeting

The American Council of Learned
Societies today extended to the
British Academy its profound and
sympathetic admiration" for its in
spiration to scholars everywhere,

Woman Describes
11o,0oO-MiIe Trip

Mrs. Singer Says in
Geographic Lecture

Impressions gained during the
three years she drove her car about
remote regions of Africa were re-
lated TO National Geographic So
ciety audience last night by Mrs. A.
Hamilton Singer, the only woman
ever to make such extensive explo-
rations Of the Dark Continent"
alone.
Mrs. Singer wore out three auto
mobiles, Travelled about 10000
miles, and exposed 10000 feet Of
film. She travelled often across
tractless veldt and desert or bumped
along camel trails never intended
for q motor car.
Time and again white men in
the outposts of civilization were
surprised TO see battered American
sedan come In from the wilds, and
amazed to see a woman climb from
behind the drivers wheel. Some
times, Mrs. Singer admitted, her
arrival surprised even herself.
Guides Refused to Go Along.
She gave an unusual description
of the eruption of Mount Nyamla-
gira in the Belgian Congo. Super
stitious native guides refused to ac-
company her on her five-day climb
to the crater.
When she finally reached the
boiling waters of Lake Kiva, she
filmed the seething lava as it flowed
from the crater In a stream 80 feet
wide.
The woman explorer found the
natives friendly and great music
lovers with many kinds of musical
instruments. She never heard them
sing, however, although they some
times hummed.
The platter-hpped Ubangi women,
Mrs. Singer said, developed this
strange custom years ago to destroy
their worth in the eyes of slavers.
The custom later became a fashion
and beauty aid.
Native Dances Shown.
Mrs. Singer showed many native
dances in strange customes. She
obtained a great number of film
records of life in the interior of
the continent.
On one occasion. Mrs. Singer said,
rhinoceros charged her car. She
escaped with the loss of a rear
fender. Later she was obliged to
outrun a lion to her car. and
baffled the big cat by climbing inside
and shutting the doors.

ing countries. Those which have
indicated their intention of partici-
pating are Brazil, Mexico, Domin-
lean Republic, Colombia, Nicaragua,
Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay.

ing, the bank would have broad

ton in close collaboration with the

ization from Congress last year for
assisting other American republics
as an economic defense measure.
OF this amount. only about one
fifth has been used thus far because,

Mr.. Loeber said. They knew II
they hooked an antenna on these
control sets, they could broadcast

"The 13-year-old boy was running
a regular broadcast station. He
picked up network programs from
a Rochester station on a receiving
set, rebroadcast them on his bootleg
transnitter. He cut out the chain
and commercial announcements and
substituted his own. His broadcasts
covered a radius of about six blocks
and seriously interfered with recep-
ton of regular broadcast stations
IN the area"
The 13-year-old was released in

Mr.. Loeber said, officials are having
difficulty deciding what action to
