los manufacturers han pagado
cada sabado pOr la tarde pOr ell

blecida en- la industrial del taba-

a los manufacturers como a los

Siempre ha ,sido necesario que

que ell trabajador sc aprovechara
de los precios especiales en- vigor

fngs in Pacific hall that Erwin
brought greetings from their Jap

still another he is alleged to have
given pass words and signs TO
those present for Identification to
the invading Japanese.
Butler and Erwin are also ac-
cused of directing members to e.
wade requirements of the selective
service law by filling out a blank
form and paying a small fee which
entitled them to certificates as
ministers without regard to their
qualifications.
This charge is the basis Of a sec

the draft act. Maximum penalty
upon conviction would be two
years in prison an da fine of s10,-

Erwin was arrested in his home
here and confined to city jail to
await arraignment before the Uni

serted that he had been Frecently
reelected to the presidency of the
Pacific movment but had not yet
been indicted into office. The
prisoner was vehement in his de-
NAL that he had Japanese allianc-
es or had engaged in subversIve
activities.
Police took Butler into custody
at his home in East st. Louis and
he likewise categorically denied
the governments charges. He
said he had resigned from the pres

other members, and emphasized
that he had no love for the Jap

Work In Handicrafts
To Be Exhibited
AT Atlanta University

ATLANTA, Ca, July Z"Speclai
"A number of fine handicrafts
| by students in the Arts and Crafts
| Workshop at the Atlanta Univer-
| sity summer school, will be on
view Thursday afternoon, July 8,
from 2:30 until five o'clock in
the Exhibition Room of the At
lanta University Library. The Arts
and Crafts Workshop, unlike 9TH
er divisions of the session, has
not felt the impact of the war in
enrolment, although there have
been fewer metals for the work
in crafts and scarcity of metal
tools. In previous years, the en-
rollment was limited to twenty
five, but this year there are thirty
taking wor kin crafts and thirteen
in the painting classes. Many of
the enrollees are teachers in ele-
mentary and high schools and one
teacher rural schools. There is al
so a small group whose main in
terest is in the pursuit of a hobby.
Students working in crafts are
taught design, metal work, weav-
ing, pottery work and ceramics.
leather tooling, and modelling in
clay, plaster paris, and papier
mache. A small fee entities stu
dent to free use of all materials
and tools.
Much of the metal work has
been confined to copper, and out
of this medium are emerging
handsome trays, bookends, plates,
will plaques and other decorative
pieces. Mop yarn has been used
for weaving attractive cotton rugs,
mats, and pocketbooks on looms
that have been made from old
picture frames.
In the modelling classes, the red
Georgia clay is a great favorite
with rural teachers as their chief
interests is in materials which are
native and easy to secure. Vases of
different types and colors, animal
heads, figurines, bookends, and
candlesticks tre usually wrought in
this medium. This year a kiln for
drying was built by members of
the class from discarded metals.
instruction, however, is given In
plaster-paris, as a substitute for
for clay where a kiln is not avail
able.
Because leather is expensive to
work on, modelling paper is sub
stituted as it can be treated in
exactly the same way. From this
medium the students are taught to
make book covers, portfolios, util
ity boxes, waste paper containers,
and packetbooks.
Work in design can be seen in
colorful wooden salad bowls.
In the group of paintings, there
are oils and water colors. The sub
jects include landscapes and still
life designs.
Glasses at the summer work
shop meet during the mornings Of
the session from eight until one
o'clock. The students are privi-
legged to work afternoons in the
studio until six o'clock.
The crafts are taught by Mrs
Mary Tobias Dean, graduate Of
Teachers, College, Columbia Uni
versity, and former teacher at
Paine College and Bennett Col
lege. The painting classes are
taught by Hale Woodruff, inter-
nationally famous painter, who is
also director Of the workshop.
