Armed Bandits Rob
Grocer Of Days Receipts

The days receipts of a grocery
store at 1897 Nineteenth street NV.
was stolen last night by two hold
up men.
William Waldman, 81, owner of
the store, told police that one of
two colored customers" threatened
him with a revolver after asking
for a pack of cigarettes. His COM
panion then emptied the cash reg
lister of approximately $50, while
Mr.. Waldman was backed against
a wall with hands up.
The storekeeper's wife, Molly,
viewed the theft from living quar-
ters in the rear of the store, but
was unable to get out and call for
help, she said.
Left without cash, Mr.. Waldman
said he could not phone police until
a few minutes after the bandits
escape, when customer came in
with a nickel.

issue Friday, Senator Reynolds said
he would hate to live IN a COM

January 13 he plans to begin a

In the reorganization of COM
mittees, it was learned yesterday,
the Democrats probably will re-
1inquish one place on the District

changing the ratio in this Congress
to 10 Democrats and 5 Republicans.
Two of the eleven Democrats on
the committee last year were de-
teated-SenatOrS King of Utah and

Republicans one new place to fill.

John Williams Is a versatile

John Williams Is a versatile
craftsman. Last year at Tech he
made an atwood clock, including
the gears. The clock runs, believe
it or not, and for some time it was
on exhibition in an Office window
on downtown Fourteenth street.
John made a recreation room in
the basement of his own home and
did such a fine job of it that his
friends and neighbors wanted rec
reation rooms, too. Therefore, John
became something of a recreation
room contractor and carried on
quite a business until his gradua-
ton, when he went to work for the
telephone company.
Neither John nor Herman, who
is now busy on Guarnerius model
violin, can play the stringed in
strument. Johns fiddle has been
exhibited and demonstrated recent
ly by Manuel Herde, 18, of 2408
Third street NE, concertmaster of
Tech symphony orchestra. He is a
sophomore.
''It has a very nice tone," COM
mented Manuel as he played a
classical waltz for the benefit of a
group of visitors In The woodshop
Personally, I think John did very
good job" Manuel has been a vio-
linist for eight years and played in
the Langley Junior High School Or
chestra before he went to Tech.
What are you going to do with
your violin when it is fnshed?"
Herman was asked.
Keep it or sell it. I guess" he
replied. Herman is almost ready to
assemble his violin after having de-
voted his full shop time to it since
the new term began.
Mr.. Williams students have aug
mented the violin tools by making a
frame for Guarnerius model and
specially designed clamps. Other
students are expected to take up
the art from time to time, although
Herman is the only one pursuing it
at this time.

been brought to her home. She soon
became an advanced student and
with an older student was chosen
to play in a concert at the Rialto
Theater.
Recently Marjorie and her par
ents moved from their former home
in Virginia to their present resi-
dence, and Marjorie continued her
piano studies. She entered Alice
Deal Junior High School and soon
was selected to play in the 50-piece
school orchestra.
The orchestra recently presented
a concert at the Dodge Hotel in
which Marjorie played. She has
appeared in numerous other con-
certs and is well on the way to
becoming quite an accomplished
pianist for her age. Marjorie is a
verse tile girl, and in school she
likes mathematics and English as
well as music.

made in each group to win letter.

Each Day Offers
Opportunity to
Do Kind Act
BY MAE ANGUS, 10,

Each day we have an opportunity,
to do some act, however small, that
will bring happiness to some one. If
we fail to take advantage of that
when it is at hand we
cannot recall it at some future date.
I was walking down the school
corridor one day last fall and saw a
girl about IL years old crying as if
her little heart would break. 1 put
my arms around her shoulders and
asked if I might help her. She told
me that her girl friend had prom
ised to lend her IS cents to buy a
ticket to the Anacostia- Eastern
football game and had refused to
do it at a last moment. I told her
to stop crying, that I would lend
her Is cents.
Her face lighted up like a candle,
and big smile burst forth as I
handed her the money. I went on
my way, and the rest of the day
was brighter because that Is cents,
which meant so little to me In my
pocketbook, meant so much to that
little girl.
One day I was riding on a bus,
and little. old woman got on in
Anacostia. There we're many young
and older men seated, but none
offered to let her sit down. A little
boy about years old remembered
what his mother had told him about
courtesy. He Immediately jumped
from his place and let the woman
sit there. 1t made me feel good
inside to see all the sweetness of
that dear old lady beam from her
face. The men stared at the little
boy and looked away in shame.
Yes, that little boy has learned early
in life the happiness in doing little
things for other people.
1t is my belief that all great
deeds are brought about by the little
things that are done from day to
day. AS pennies add up TO dollars,
so the little things add up to bigger
and greater things.

A Wise Umpire

A major league fan who never
missed a ball game was visiting in
a small town and went to see the
initial game of a series between two
local teams. At first he was unable
to locate the umpire, but finally
discovered him sitting in the grand
stand among the spectators. Turn
ing to native of the town, he said,
What in the world is the umpire
doing in the grandstand?"
"Oh," the fellow explained, "the
spectators used to jump on him for
his decisions so much that he
figured If the folks in the grand
stand could see every play so we'll,
he'd better 90 up there and do his
umpiring."

shop students could learn the art.
John and his teacher were the first
to begin violin project. They Sc
lected fine spruce wood for the neck
and belly of the violin and maple
for the ribs and the back. The tools
with which John worked included a
body frame, calipers to measure the
depth of the back and the belly
which are curved by following them
out with planes. fine carving knives,
miniature planes and purfing
knife.
Purf1ing. for the benefit of those
who don't know, is a synonym for
border ornamentation, and in the
case of a violin it is the fine strip
of inlay on the border. The knife
is used to cut out Well-deflned
and narrow strip along the border.
The space is then inlaid with a
very thin strip of black-and-white
wood, made particularly for violin
borders, and this gives the finished
instrument the appearance Of pro-
| fessional product.
The neck of the violin, including
the keys, is carved out most care
fully by hand. The wood used to
make violin is of such fine quality
that it acquires a smooth, glossy
finish after it has been sandpapered,
rubbed and vanished.

The "Inkspot." school supply
store owned and operated by Leland
Junior High School students as a
mathematics project, is now doing a
prosperous business. The name for
the store was selected recently by
unanimous vote of the students of
two eighth grade sections who are
managing the store.
Bookkeeping, business terms and
mathematics in general are used by
the students in running the store
and this broadens their education
by actual experience.
The first step in organizing the
store was to pass bylaws. This
was done by the two sections, after
which a board OF directors was ap-
pointed. Preferred and common
stock totaling between $50 and $50
was sold to the participating STU
dents, so that they are the owners
of the enterprise.
1t was decided there would be a
general manager for the store. a
oeiANC AAAo11oSC4, d0NC1 Illd1ldScI ,
purchasing agent and clerks. The
directors made up test for each
candidate for the official positions.
Those making the highest grades
were given the jobs for which they
applied.
The store Is located on the base
ment floor and is open before and
after school and at lunch time. At
the end of the school year, it will
pay dividends on its stock. After
that, the school will buy up the
stock from the students and sell it
again next year to the participating
mathematics classes.
Let us hope that next year the
students will get as much JOY out
of the business as we are this year.
