trouble if he continues TO pull
stunts like this" The detective
beckoned to q waiter. Bring a
phone over to this table" he said.
The waiter went off.
Whats the big ideaf" Mabel
asked.
Great invention being able TO
phone from your table without

might call Ace back and hurry him
up a bit. In case you've forgotten
the number, have it right here"
He fished in his pocket and pulled
out slip of paper. "It's Columbus

Mabel smiled In admiration. "For
a dick" she declared, "you amt SO
dumb"
Coming from you. my dear, !
consider that a great compliment"
Argus drained his cocktail. The
waiter returned with the phone and
plugged it into a wall-socket on a
nearby pillar. Argus handed the
instrument to Mabel. She looked at
him curiously and dialled the num-
Der.
The detective ordered another
round of cocktails, dinner and a
bottle Of champagne. He smoked
as Mabel talked over the phone.
TIl call you back" she said
finally and hung up. "Acs can't
reach Dancer just now" she told
Argus. But he's supposed to call
Ace in half an hour"
"Good! Well keep the phone
right here" Argus set it to one side.

another phone call. She was begin

Ace says Dancer says okay,"
she told Argus. Hell tell the boys
TO let her 60 but she won't be home
for a couple Of hours. He says i

his watch. "Thatll be IL: 49,"
Mabel was not a brilliant CONVEX

the time was to drink. They had

"I'u bet you have!" beamed Ar

Ellen's home but she had not re-

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Nov. 3
(ANP)-The story of how colored
ministers helped the war effort by
helping Brig. Gen. A. M. Prentiss,
commanding general Of the Pine
Bluff arsenal, stop absenteeism
was revealed recently. The local ar
senal has not missed a production
schedule in Is months and ranks
first among the nations war pro-
duction plants.
Brig. Gen. Prentiss, who is said
to be "true southern gentleman"
had real labor problem on his
hands when colored workers, COM
prising 50 per cent of the total
number of employees at the arsenal,
began laying off in large numbers.
One day members of the Negro
Ministerial alliance called on him
and asked if they could do anything
to assist him, which indicated their
loyal and patriotic spirit.

Gen. Prentiss got his higher pro-
duction. Absenteeism dropped off
to an almost record low at the ar
senal. The ministers preached from
their pulpits and called on their
disciples to work for democracy
and God.
They responded and the Pine
Bluff arsenal has not missed a pro-
duction schedule in more than Is
months, record which has placed
the arsenal first among those of
the nation in completing demands

Lecture Officers
On Handling Of
Negro Troops
By Ernest E.. Johnson

DY E1UOS II. OVUSOU
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (ANP)
"A series of lectures dealing with
the handling of Negro soldiers will
begin shortly among commissioned
O. officers of the Army Service
forces, the AMP has learned ex-
clusively.
Authorized by 1t. Gen. Brehen
Somervell, commanding general of
the ASF, the courses will permit
for the enlargement on various of
the points introduced only briefly
in the war department pamphlet
titled Command of Negro Troops"
issued in February.
Lecture material for the courses
is expected to come off the presses
sometime this week, and the classes
will be instituted soon. The sue
cess or failure of them will deter
mine whether or not they will be
extended to other branches of the
army.
While it is true that the PAM
phlet was a restricted" document,
it did nevertheless receive dis
tribution far beyond that originally
intended. The opinion expressed by
many of these who have read it
has been highly commendatory in
that the publication represented
probably the first acknowledge
ment by the war department that
a responsibility existed which could
not be discharged lightly.
No one in the department would
disclose whether an evaluation has
been made of the good that has
been achieved by this important
pamphlet. One informed source,
however, did make the observation
to this reporter that it has made a
dent in the thinking of many in the
department as differing from the
army itself. The thought was that
it is going to take a good deal Of
time to adjust the thinking Of
"army brasshats."

Randolph Requests
ID. {. Heads Views on
|ChiIdren's Museum

Chairman Randolph Of the House
District Committee yesterday called
on the District Commissioners and
members Of the Board Of Education
for their views on whether the mu.
nicipal government should provide
q permanent home for the Chill
dren's Museum.
Referred to the issue Of whether
the city should be authorized by
Congress to condemn the villa Rosa
property, now home Of the Chill
dren's Museum which faces eviction
since the property has been sold.
Reporting he had received many
letters urging preservation of vina
Rosa for the Children's Museum,
Mr.. Randolph said In q letter: :
"Since committees of Congress
may be asked to pass on enabling
legislation authorizing the, District
to regain possession Of this prop
erty, I think 1t would be helpful to
Congress to have an expression Of
views on the general subject Of
whether the city government and
the community as q whole are con-
vinced a children's museum should
be established and maintained by
the municipality. %.
aside from the question Of locar
ton, or the property to be ac-,
quired, does Washington need ana
want an institution of this kind as
. phase Of its municipal educational
system? or
"It would seem that II such an
institution is Of great value to the
community the city could well a..
ford to meet the cost and make the
service generally available. This,
Of course, involves the question Of
whether such an educational pro.
gram Is properly one to be operated
by the municipality or whether It
should be left to- private endeavor."
