BOARD member, there are attend
ants who take care Of nothing else
but collecting, sterilizing and re-
placing brushes and combs. They
are placed in warm, soapy water,
then in sterilizing fluid and finally
tn q dry sterilizer. Then they def
nitely meet Health Department
stapdards.
There are scientific reasons why
women need hair brushes more than
men, this defender went on. In
women's long hair 1t is necessary to
brush 1t so that Oil from the scalp
may be moved out to the ends Of the
strand and not cake up on the scalp.
In mems shorter hair the oil can
move out to the ends without brush

the BARRIERS Board that violators
will wind up with their licenses re-
voked.
The ban on brushes was written
into the barber regulations last Sep
tember after csaferences between
the board and the Health Depart
ment.
Up to then the District code mere
ly said: Brushes must be washed
thoroughly at frequent intervals.
Nothing about sterilization. Why
didn't the regulation writers try
sterilization? Because BARRIERS had
been found too lax in following other

to the style change which has
lengthened the skirts of American
women by several inches in the past
few months, it was learned today.
A new uniform has been designed
for WAC and Nurse Corps members
which is a good three inches longer
than the knee-length, wartime model

Theater League Backs
Ban on Plays in D. {.
If Negroes Are Barred
Spseial Dispatch to The Stor

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-New York
producers and actors agreed yes
terday on a contract clause which
would permit actors to refuse to
appear in plays In Washington
where Negroes are excluded from
the audience.
Informed today of the vote of the
League of New York Theaters,
Marcus Heiman, president of the
E Street Theater Corp, which
operates the National Theater, said
IF the National Theater cannot
get plays on account Of actors, they
will eliminate playing legitimate
attractions"
Mr.. Heiman added that he would
not discuss "this thing with any
body unless the discussion is of the
overall picture in Washington in
relation to the rest of the country
Reiterates Stand.
He reiterated his stand that the
theater will change its policy only
If the general discriminatory policy
in Washington is changed by law or
if business and civic groups in the
Capital revoke racial restrictions.
After voting to 60 along with the
Equity's demand, the meeting of the
league yesterday unanimously adopt
ed resolution whereby the league,
Equity and the Dramatists' Guild
will try to convince Mr.. Heinan not
to shut down his playhouse or con-
vert it to movies.
Another resolution, adopted with
only Brock Pemberton dissenting,
called for every one in the theater
to work to improve racial conditions
In Washington so that problems of
this sort will not come up again"
The vote to accept the antisegre-
cation contract clause came at a
closed meeting attended by 46 of the
leagues 1875 members. Attendance of
AZ members constitutes quorum.
Vote Was 20 to Z.
According to reports, the vote to
accede to Equity's demand was ia
vored by 20 members at the meeting.
Seven voted against the clause and
10 abstained from voting.
The resolution to support Equity
was offered by Elmer Rice and Sec
oned by Oscar Hammerstein II.
During the discussion that followed,
Mr.. Pemberton, Arthur Hopkins and
Henry Adrian led the opposition,
and Mr.. Hammerstein, Max Gordon
and Lawrence Langner spoke for
the resolution.
James F. Reilly, executive director
of the league, said the disputed
clause will be in the next agreement
with Equity. The clause itself will
become effective August l, 1e48, at
which time the Capital will face a
virtual ban that will keep all actors
and stage attractions out of its
theaters unless the rule against
Negroes Is revoked.
The year Of grace In the clause
was included to give the theater time
to effect change of policy, Mr..
Reilly explained.
He said the committee negotiating
the new contract with Equity has
been instructed to accept the clause.
Other factors in the contract, includ-
ing wages and working conditions,
remain to be cleared up before the
agreement is accepted by both sides,
Mr.. Reilly added.

ducts a grocery store at 350S Center

the hearing until 10 am, August Is

The principal opposition came
from officers and members of the
Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist,
3505 Sixteenth street NV, which is
half block from the store. E. Ed
ward Stephens, attorney for the
church, told the board it would not
be in the public interest to grant
a license because of the high type
residential neighborhood and be-
cause the store also is close to two
other churches. st. Stephens and
the Incarnation Episcopal Church
is about a block away and Gunton-
Temple Presbyterian Church is also
nearby.
The Rev. DR.. John c. Palmer, fol
many years pastor of the Washing

and Charles L. Shone, vestryman
and Frank H. Dawson, registrar OF
st. Stephens. Church, also argued
against the granting of the license
Henry Miller, president of the
Christian Science Church, said the
selling of beer and wines would
interfere with church services and
would attract an undesirable class
of people.

'unearth Original Jefferson
PIoW Models in France

Thomas Jefferson's important
contributions to agriculture and his
lifelong belief in farming as "the
nrst and most precious of all the
arts" were given new emphasis by
the discovery in Paris, France, of
original wooden models of an i'm
proved plow invented bv the ma
tons third president at the end of
the 18th century, according to DR..
julian P. Boyd, Princeton univer
s1ty librarian and editor of the
detlnltlve 50-volume edition of JEFF
ferson's writings.
The models of the Jefferson plow.
described by historians as "the last
great fundamental development''
before the advent of efficient metal
plows about 1910, were discovered
by DR.. Howard c. Rice Jr., attached
to the American Embassy in Paris
and the representative of the JET
ferson Papers in France. The origi-
nal sets of plow models were sent
by Jefferson to French agricultural
authorities about the time of his
election to the presidency.
Jefferson, DR.. Boyd recalled, was
a farmer all his life and deeply
regretted that public service pre-
vented his keeping a closer eve
upon his farms. He imported new
seeds, plants and trees; helped to
introduce the merino sheep in this
country; was a pioneer in the use
OF power machinery; experimental
effectively with crop rotation in a
region largely devoted to soil-ex
haust1ng tobacco culture and was
at least century ahead of his time
in practicing contour plowing to
prevent erosion.

Conservation News
By L. B. Hairr

S. P. Marlowe of Greenwood says
that the covered ditch that he put in
the field in front of his home last
spring will be worth several dollars
more to this years crop, than the
ditch cost him to install. He states
that after ditching this field he could
prepare better seedbed, get a good
stand of corn, the crop grew off to-
gether, and the land is easier to cul-
tivate. Mr.. Marlowe was assisted by
the Soil Conservation District in sur
veying out grade lines for the ditch.
E. J. Burgin and his son Edward
of Marion Rt. 4 have made a good
start on their farm toward the i'm
provement of their land, and future
security through conservation. Per-
ennial grass stripes, planted last
year are yielding hay, preventing
erosion on the strips on which it
was seeded and, also, on other land
run in a rotation Of crops. They say.
the last named benifit is due to the
fact that they can turn under soil
areas which other wise would have
to be used for hay.

New CRANBERRY Jelly

A new jellied cranberry sauce of
unusually bright color and fresh fla
vor, without the familiar weeping"
Of juice, has been developed by the
western Regional laboratory at AL
bany, Calf For the new sauce, the
cranberries are steam-heated on
trays for just two minutes-and all
the rest of the processing and jelling
is done at room temperature. Be-
cause of the very brief heating peri
cd, the fresh quality of the fruit is
held, and the usual darkening of
color and cooked flavor is avoided.
The product also has less bitterness
because less tannin is taken out of
the berries by the understanding
than by boiling. The leakage of juice
that is characteristic Of jellied cram
berries, usually called weeping"
by the housewife, has been avoided
in the new product by adding a
small amount of quick-acting citrus
pectin to the mixture. Superior both
in color and flavor to cranberry
sauces, made by the usual method,
the new sauce also holds these quail
tiles setter during storage.

Raleigh, July 3-The council of
state today allocated $150,000 from

fund to go with an appropriation of
$3.50, 1000 for completion of a huge
colosseum at N. C. State college.
The ALLEGATION, the governor ex-
planned, was agreed upon late in

assembly when it was discovered
that insufficient funds had been
appropriated to complete the prof.
ect.
College officials said that bids
which were started before hte war
for completion of the structure
probably will be received within
the next few weeks.
The building will have a seating
of 1900. Its arena will
measure 180 by more than 800
feet, and will include refrigerated
section 80 by 200 feet on which
ice hockey and ice shows can be
shown.
