Impresses Mothers
By Katheryn M. Wood

The mothers of the kindergar-
ten class of Greenbelt Elementary
School were the guests of Miss
York and Miss Hitchcock in the
kindergarten rooms December 8
at an afternoon tea.
Setting a fine precedent of vol
unteering cooperation for future
classes, grade mothers were chosen
from volunteers instead of by
election. Those volunteering to
serve as grade mothers for the
morning session were Mesdames
Evelyn Lung, Robert E. Gray,
and Lawrence W. Schulz. For
the afternoon group those who
volunteered were Mesdames Ed
ward F. erase, Ralph johnson,
and Frederick Pfeiffer.
In short talk on the work
and plans of the kindergarten
group Miss York explained that
their present classes include work
on Christmas decorations, of which
the rooms showed concrete evil
dence, each child having made his
own chain according to individual
preference in the arrangement of
red and green links on the Christ
mas tree chains. This involved
simple number work in following
the alternate numbers Of colored
links, and a preparation for read
ing work in recognizing his own
name printed at the end of each
chain.
The teachers also explained that
the children are planning and
making christmas surprises" to
10 add to the Noel spirit at home.
After Christmas the children will
construct playhouse and have
experience in housekeeping as they
play with their new toys. AS a
logical sequence this will be fol-
lowed by building a project store
where they will experience buying
for the needs of the playhouse.

Our Maryland Schools

Crowded conditions in local school for the coming
months make this opportune time to consider the
position of Maryland schools in terms of what they and
what they should be.
At recent meeting of the Education Study Group of
Prince Georges County Dr. Arnold loyal pointed out that
from the standpoint Of taxable wealth Maryland is 25 per
cent better able than other states to for its educational
program Nevertheless the state continues to offer only
elementary schooling while neighbor states offer
the standard eight The states schools notorousy
overcrowded and teachers especially in Prince Georges
County, are badly underpaid
Greenbet wants better schools for the state of Mary
land We pay state and county taxes in Maryland We vote
in Maryland. We live here in Maryland. And we want
the best possible educational facilities for children

Scalpel

That is what We<
believe. Continual
made of the large sa +
this year over any 9th
record. Consumers are
more dollars over the
than ever before. Manufac@
wholesalers and retailers pro
the fact that their profits
larger than ever. However, Cd
sumers aren't responsible for thu
increased volume of business. The
dollar with which the housewife
formerly purchased five pounds Of
sugar, a loaf Of bread, a pound of
meat, vegetableS and a, stick Of
butter, now buys only the sugar,
butter bread and vegetables. If
she wants meat, she has to spend
more money. AS her income has
not been increasing in ratio to
prices, it is hard to buy as much
as she formerly did, and impossible
to buy more.
In most places, the rent has
been raised considerably, not to
mention clothes, leaving a smaller
amount for groceries.
Since this leaves the consumer
out, what is the source of this
boom? Of course, a lot of raw
materials and other supplies are
going to England. However, this
isn't the whole story. In view of
the so-called Shortage" why do
so many manufacturers have ON
hand an inventory nearly per cent
above that of a year ago Jan in
ventory of raw materials and un-
sold goods which they have never
placed on the market? What is
being done about food spectators
who are buying huge quantitie
of food and holding them for th
inevitable sky-high prices to COM
inevitable, because their shorta
is raising them?

1t is an odd fact that most OF

Africa and Australia. 1t also is
true of North America and South
America, in regard to the second
part of the name Europe is the
only continent without that initial.
The reason for Africa name is
not clear. One theory is that 1t
came from the name of certain

That tribe is made up of so-called

tribes of the Sahara Desert.
The Tuaregs live mainly in the
western and central parts of the

The skins Of Tuaregs are white,
or almost white, but they usually
are fairly we'll tanned by the desert

for the cloth may be to guard
against the sand, of which there is
plenty on the desert! 1t is supposed
however, that the custom started
when young Tuaregs wanted to dis
guise themselves while on raiding
parties. These tribesmen have done
a great deal of slave hunting.
The old slave-trading days are
almost gone. Tuaregs now make
their living mainly by raising sheep
and camels in green parts of the
desert. They also work with leather,
and are experts in this field, as well
as in weaving cloth and making

OF tickets matching those Lopez

said. Each ticket on the rolls could
be cashed for 60 cents. In some

day night by Delos l.. James, nan
ager of the agricultural department
of the United States Chamber OF
Commerce, at a meeting of El
Centro Lions and rancherS of I'm
perial Valley.
He said the 10-year peak of agri-
cultural and national income oc-
CURED in 1929 and the 1O-year low
for both incomes occurred in 1882.
National and agricultural in
comes closely parallel each other
in their reflection of good and bad
economic conditions James said.
When agricultural income de-
clined, down went national income.
Down swept business, down went
confidence, and up bobbed those
unpleasant twins-fear and uncer-
tainty. When agricultural income
went upward, everything improved
and the whole morale of the coun-
try improved, too
He pointed out the good agri-
cultural and national incomes
meant less discomfort with demo-
cratic form of government and less
strife. Labor troubles, he continued,
were lessened when labor's income
was on par with that of industry
