Spiritual Life Mission
Hears Talk by Dr.. Jones

God is the most important fact in
persons life, DR.. E. Stanley Jones,
Methodist missionary to India here
for the Spiritual Life Mission
campaign, told an audience yester-
day at Memorial Continental Hall
Taking Voltaire's phrase "if there
is no God we would have to invent
one" DR.. Jones asserted life would
be meaningless and dead" otherwise.
The big question, he declared, is mot
that there is God, but what kind
OF God?" The missionary said God
has shown himself supremely and
finally in Christ" and that he is
good. He concluded by saying God
searches for man as well as man
searches for God and that we only
have to put ourselves in the way to
be found by Him.
The mass meetings will be held at
8 pm. at Memorial Continental Hall
each night through Friday A choir
from District area church will
sing preceding each meeting, the
Shiloh Baptist Church Choir, di-
rected by Bessie Patterson, being
scheduled for tonight's gathering.
The School of Prayer" another
feature of the mission, is being held
from 3 to 4 pm. each day through
Friday under the guidance of DR.
Glenn Clark, head of the creative
living department of Manchester
College, st. Paul. Mimi, at the New

Don't feel that ratproofing is the
other persons job. Don't neglect to

or ill-fitting doors. Don't feel that
much money need be sperrt-many
materials cost only few cents, such
as plaster, glass, brick, concrete and

often do to cover holes and prevent
the entrance of rats.
Mr. Bell listed instructions on
how to kill rats in the house. First,
try to find the holes rats use to
enter the house. Plug them up with
cement or cover them with metal
flashing. Set several traps at a
time with several different kinds of
bait as meat, fish or vegetables. The
traps should be set against a wall
where rats usually pass. Bait should
be made with red squill rat poison.
The poison can be obtained free at
the Polk School, Seventh and p

Belvedere Market Denied
Meat for 80 DAYS by 0PA

Suspension orders, effective June
IL, preventing Louis Deckelbaum,
proprietor of the Belvedere Market
1909 M street NV, from purchasing
rationed meat for 80 days, were is
sued yesterday after an OPA hear
ing on charges that the firm had
violated regulations.
The proprietor was charged with
having purchased 700 pounds of beet
from Ira Weill, New York dealer
without surrendering any ration
points. 1t was the same New York
wholesaler, mentioned here during
similar hearings in connection with
Club 400, Fan and Bills Restaurant
and the Club Del Rio.
John L. Laskey, District OPA en-
forcement attorney, yesterday
cleared up the mystery of Ira WE'LL
who during recent hearings also has
been mentioned as Ira Wild and
Eugene Wild. Instead of being one
person, whose name had been mis-
spelled as believed, Mr.. Laskey said
WE'LL and Wild were partners in the
New York business.

A Russian brown bear cub few
into Washington today from Te-
heran, Iran, the gift of the Red
Army to the American Army.
The wooly, roly-poly little symbol
of friendship and unity between
the two great fighting forces was
sped 1000 miles overseas in Com
mando transport, with the kind of
priority that many big-wig would
tear his hair for in vain.
"Maliutka," or Little One" in
Russian, was welcomed at the Zoo
by Director William M. Mann and
enough reporters and camera men
to have done honor to a visiting
Ambassador. Only months old, he
made the voyage on a diet of eyap-
GRATED milk and water which he
licked from his paws.
Maliutko was presented to Maj.
Gen. Donald H. Connolly, COM
mander of the Persian Gulf Com

Destroying the rats food supply,
hiding and breeding places is the
most effective way of getting rid of
rats living in areas surrounding
your places of business or homes, -
Mr.. Bell declared.
Here are things you can do to
build the rats out"
Keep the entire house free of
rubbish. Store wood and food, es-
pecially in cellars, on platforms at
least l8 inches off the floor. Check
all doors and windows to be certain
they fit tightly. Cover all openable
windows to be certain they fit
tightly. Cover all openable windows
and door openings at ground level

dirt and garbage, Mr.. Bell called on
the public to be more careful in
disposing of trash and garbage. This
is part of the "starve out the rats

Store garbage in covered metal
containers, store foods in covered
containers of glass or metal. Sweep
hoor and stairWays free of bits of
food. Store packaged foodstuffs on
shelves elevated at least 18 inches
from the floor. Keep streets. alleys
and backyards free of garbage and
refuse.
Mr.. Bell also has a don't list"
Don't throw refuse out of windows,
throw refuse and garbage into the
street, alley or yard, mix garbage
and refuse, store garbage in un-
covered paper bags or boxes, store
fresh fruits and vegetables In cell
lars, leave food for birds and pets
where rats can find it, and store
useful materials, such as discarded

With reference TO the welfare

School and the Kramer Junior High
School today told the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board they
thought" beer was sold at the Ana
costa field house when they visited
1t on May Is, prompting Chairman

one of the applicants, told The Star
there have been no bottles of beer

Mrs. o. H. Cookery, acting prin-
cipal of Anacostia, first told Mr..

Protests against renewal of the
license for the golf clubhouse have
been received from the Board of
Education, the Southeast Council of
Citizens Associations, the Fedora
ton OF Citizens Associations and
the principals and the Parent
Teacher Associations of both
schools.
During the hearing, Chairman
Lodge questioned DR.. George C.
Havenner, former president of the
Anacostia Citizens Association and
the federation, as to whether the
clubhouse was on property inde-
pendent Of any action or control
OF the District government.
w. j. Tucker, representing the
Anacostia Association, objected to
the license because the swimming
pool near the clubhouse is used by
pupils of the two schools and the
clubhouse itself is headquarters for
the Police Boys Club.
Clubhouse Out of Bounds.
Both principals said the club
house is out of bounds during school
hours.
Mrs. Corkery said schoolgirls

Soldiers Demonstrate
Nazi War Weapons
Al Ordnance Exhibit
Descriptions End With
Nozi Salute; Others Then
Show American Types

Eight American soldiers stood on
small platform, each carrying a
different type of weapon and
saluted: Hell, Hitler"
But it was only part of the
Ordnance Department exhibit at
the Weapons of War" show which
opened yesterday on the polo
grounds in West Potomac Park. The
soldiers were demonstrating cap
tured German small arms weapons,
each beginning and closing his de-
tailed description of the guns opera
ton with a Nazi salute.
They were followed by another
group, this time demonstrating COM
parable American small arms, the
carbine, machine gun, revolver and
rocket gun.
Two Full Shows Daily.
The exhibit, open from 2 to 10
pm. daily until Sunday. has two
full Shows" daily, beginning at 4::30
and 8 pm. While the displays may
be viewed at all times, demonstra-
tions and explanations are made
only on the scheduled runs. Only
one display Is demonstrated at a
time, so if any one misses a part of
the show, he must wait for the next
show.
The ordnance exhibit, the largest
in the show, stars two American war
heroes, the Congressional Medal Of
Honor winners, 1t. Ernest Childers
and Technical Sergt. Charles E.
Commando" Kelly.
1t. Childers, 26-year -old Creek
Indian, who was cited Tor knocking
out enemy machine-gun nests and
capturing an enemy mortar in
Italy, demonstrates some of the
small arms. He will appear again
tonight and tomorrow from 7:3O to
10 pm.
Sergt. Kelly, also on hand for the
small arms exhibit, will demonstrate
the weapons at the same hours on
Thursday and Friday nights.
The small arms demonstration of
enemy guns is even more startling,
for the American soldiers not only
carry enemy weapons, but wear cap
tured Japanese and German uni
forms.
BY way of contrast to the small
arms exhibit just .cross the way
stands the giant Long Tom" ar
tlllery gun of the American forces.
Too, not far away, is the new Army
'stratosphere" antiaircraft gun
which outranges all existing anti
aircraft guns.
Jeep and "Volkswag0n."
Included is the Army jeep, which
stands alongside the comparable
German "volkswagon.
Camoufaged as it was when cap
tured on the African deserts, the
volksWagon is tin-type model of
the Jeep and was originally designed
for public use. The motor Is in the
rear and the spare and the gas
tank decorate the front.
The most unusual feature of the
German "jeep" are the wheels,
Whlcn are MADE OF solid rubbr, linn
iting the speed of the vehicle to
about 20 miles an hour.
The German Tiger tank, largest
of the German armored units, is an
other of the exhibits features, and is
compared to the Army's Cotton Ms
tank. The japanese tank is poor
third in the comparison.
The exhibit is sponsored by the
Army Service Forces, to give the
public an opportunity to see the su-
periority of American weapons and
equipment
