Countless American "pilgrims"
have made their way to Washing
tons Franciscan Monastery-a place
Of shrines. For it contains repro
ductions Of the original shrines as
they appear today in the Holy Land,
constructed around the spots upon
which milestones in the life Of
Christ occurred. and to which mil
lions of real pilgrims have jour-
neyed. Fortunate, indeed, are Wash
ingtonians to have 1t located in the
city, for it is the only one of its
kind in the world. For older chill
dren, the Monastery tells the story
of the life of Christ. and the early
Christians, quite graphically. 1t
brings to their modern world the
century-shadowe era in which
Christ and the early Christians
moved.
The Monastery itself, set on
Mount ST. Sepulchre, is architecture
ally combination of the Ro-
manescue and the Byzantine. 1t is
designed in the shape of the five
fold cross of the Crusaders en-
blem, with the cross motif repeated
in the Venetian mosaic of the floor,
Below the ground level, as the
originals now stand, are reproduce
tions of the Grotto of Nazareth, and
the Grotto of Bethlehem. The
former Is patterned from the Shrine
of the Annunciation, as it stands
today on the site Of Mary's home in
Nazareth. In the Grotto of Bethle-
hem. as in the original, the spot
where the Christ Child came into
the world, and the place upon
which the manger stood, are
marked
In the main portion of the church,
a reproduction of the Sepulchre, as
it is seen in the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre in Palestine, is located.

NV. They are open to the COM
munity.
Our Washington hospitals are
urging women to volunteer a few
hours of their time each week. The
trained nurses Just can't give their
patients all the care they need
These Red Cross courses teach many
things which would make you a
better helper
The blood donors center needs
more women trained In first aid as
volunteer helpers.
But even more important than
these calls for volunteer service is
that every woman should know how
to take care of illness and accidents
which occur in the home.
When you phone for the doctor
he may not be able to come for
two hours. If he should tell you to
put a poultice on baby's chest, or
give him an inhalation. could you
do it? Do you know how to take
a person temperature or give him
bath and change the bed linen
while he is in bed? Do you know what
to do if some one should take poison
by mistake or become i'll with heat
prOStration?
To know these and many other
things to do until the doctor comes
might make the difference between
happiness and sadness in your own
home.

DR.. BETHUNE JOINS FIGHT
TO Save NEGRO WAC
FROM PRISON Sentence

WASHINGTON, Apr. 2 (ANP)
The recent sentence of a year at
hard labor to four Negro WACs at
Ft. Devens, Mass, has stirred the
nation and now along with three
New York representatives, DR..
Mary McLeed Bethune is putting
in her word against the sentence.
The White House itself has be-
come interested in the case since
the fate of four WACs not only is
involved but the situation places a
smear on the contributions of the
nations entire 1000 Negro WACs
in general.
Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune, presi-
dent of the National Council of Ne
gro Women and lone member of
the national advisory committee of
the WACs, began work to have the
sentence suspended.
In court, the girls charged Col.
Crandall, commandant of the hos
pital, with saying he didn't want
"black WACs as medical techni-
clans or in the motor pool" and
that they chad to mop walls, scrub
floors and do all the dirty work"

that the girls violated definite

col. Mann PRESIDENT OF
COURT MARTIAL IN FRANCE

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,
Apr. 2 (ANP) - 1t. Col. Theo-
philus Mann, well known Chicago
and Washington attorney, is get
ting to be fixture in courts mar
tial in France. He has been in four
base sections of the army in this
country and in three has served in
general courts martial where race
was not matter of consideration
Recently he served as senior Of
ficer and president of the court.
One Of the reasons for his seniority
is the rather slow promotion for
Negro officers above the grade of
major. 1t. Col. Mann has been "half
a colonel" since July, 1912, when
he was commanding officer of "a
combat unit in Texas, an anti-tank
unit which excelled in its work and
from which great things were ex-
pected. Unfortunately it was brok-
en- up, the men scattered to various
types of outfits. The colonel is now
serving in a quartermaster outfit
which has mixed officers.

Airport Crash Witness

April 81 with the loss of six lives

of the runway and burned, accord
ing to testimony before Civil
Aeronautics Board hearing today.
C. B. Stark, airport traffic con-
troll officer, who cleared the twin
engine Lockheed aircraft for take
off at 12:46 pm, said the plane
seemed to be in difficulty when it
had reached an altitude of about
100 to 100 feet and he noticed inter-
mittent spurts of flame coming from
the exhaust of the left motor.
The plane stopped climbing, he
told William R. Andrews, chief of
the investigation section of the CAB
Safety Bureau, conducting the
hearing in the departmental audi
forum and then settled rapidly to
the ground, as though the pilot
intended to attempt an emergency
landing.
Estimating there was insufficient
room for a 'landing, Mr.. Stark said
ne sounded the alarm for the fire
trucks. He said the plane struck
the ground about 600 feet from the
ditch between the end of the run
way and Mount Vernon Memorial
highway, rolled over the edge and
