Small Loan Firms
Checked on Records

A check is being made on all the
small loan companies in Washing
ton, C. T. Nottingham, superin-
tendent of licenses, announced to-
day, and so far five firms are be-
lieved to be violating the law.
The check was begun after an
examination Of the Auto Loan Serv-
ice. Inc. 638 Pennsylvania avenue
Sc, showed the company was not
keeping complete records. Charges
were made against the company,
and a hearing was held by the
license board last week, and a deci-
sion is expected in the next few
days.
Since the Auto Loan Service case
was brought to light Mr.. Noting
ham said he has received about 20
complaints against similar firms
and decided to check all the small
loan companies in the city.
His investigation so far has re-
vealed that many of the complaints
he received have foundation. In
one case, he said, q boarding house
keeper complained she had bor-
rowed $500, with her furniture as
security She paid the loan back
in three months and paid an addi-
tional $120 in interest. Mr.. Not
tingham said he questioned the
company on the transaction and
they agreed to pay back most OF
the interest.
Another complaint he received
was from a man who said the loan

Craig Residents Rally To Need

KETCHIKAN, (P)-Once again the 22l residents of Craig, Alaska, have opened their hearts to a neighbor.
 This is the story told today by Ken Bowman, American fedora ton of labor organization, on his return from the tiny fishing vil- lage on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island.
 Public health service x-rayS showed a Craig resident might have tuberculosis, should be sent to Ketchikan for further examina- ton and possibly to Seattle for treatment.
 The entire town rallied to the cause. At pm. one evening, ev- cry business establishment in town closed it's doors except the local inn and bar. They donated all re- ceipts between 2 pm. and closing time. A dinner and dance were held. Mrs. Joe Demmert auctioned 30 artificial roses for $50. One res ident sold his tie for $17.
 At the evenings end, the fund totaled $907.
 It was the fifth such community benefit held by Craig this year de- spite a poor fishing season which left the residents none too we'll off financially.

the brush skip into every pot
before she slithered it across
the paper And finally, when
Jane got curious and peeked, she
was amazed at how much the
picture did look like the river,
and it was grey-but it was
brown, too, ad yellow and blue
and green! And all at once,
into that patch of river came
a little boat, bright red. Draw
it quick-before it's gone
We'll catch the next tugboat,"
Margaret promised, you draw
it too" And Jane flew down
stairs for her box of crayons.
After that they painted from
the roof every nice day posi-
BILE; and once Jane turned her
back on the river, it was wash
day with clotheslines strung on
all the roofs and the clothes
swinging like crazy. And the
colors! Jane made a wonderful
picture that day, and she wasn't
at all surprised when Margaret
Rugged her for it and showed
the picture proudly to her
friend. Here's Spanish Har-
lem-Jane's caught the very
spirit of it!'' Then Margaret had
to explain, because Jane thought
they lived in New York, that
they lived in Harlem first and
New York second, and that Har-
lem was the most important be-
cause it was their very own
neighborhood. Jane liked the
sound of the words, Spanish
Harlem" and asked Margaret
how to spell it, and then printed
it across the sky of her picture
in big wavy white letters-like
aTplane writing. :.
NEW YORK had lots of air
IN planes. Sometimes, i G h t
here in school, there'd be a great
noise and they'd all look up I'M
til the plane went looming by
the window. But not this time
OF day.
Five minutes after three. If
Miss David didn't hurry up
there wouldn't be time for even
a little story
AS if she heard what Jane
said, Miss David got up and
came around to the front of her
desk. But she didn't have
book to read from.
Instead of our story today"
Miss David said, II want to

Jane pretends then that the smile
wasn't for her a-tall, she was
really smiling at the window. So
she didn't turn all the Wy back.
She stayed twisted in her seat.
She wouldn't ask that girl to
her party! E. But even as she
said it to herself, Jane knew it
wouldn't be fair. They'd all
acted like that, and some lot
worse. NASTY rude bad-brought-
up children!' she'd cried to Mar
garet, after the first week of
school. "They make me want
to spit!' Margaret told her to
go ahead and spit, and Jane
did-three times. Then her
mother said, You'll like them
all right, once they start to like
you. But you can't rush it, Jane.
Give them a while longer. Re-
member how you hated New
York at first-and how long it
took before you even began to
like it,"
THE whole of August. That,
hot horrid August, Jane cried
because she couldn't breathe,
and then couldn't breathe be-
cause she'd cried so much!
Margaret went to the roof for
air but Jane hated the roof.
What kind of airing is that,
among dirty old smoky CHM
neys? You need grass and trees
for air, and remembering the
green backwards of Wisconsin
she cried and cried.
Then a friend of Margaret's
took them for a drive, and they
looked up from deep streets and
down from tall bridge. Mar
garet's eyes were shining but
Jane made a face. Grey! It's
all dirty grey!"
And the next day was Sun
day. Margaret got ouA her
water colors and dragged Jane
to the roof, that corner of it
where you could see a piece of
river. Margaret spread clean
newspapers out to sit on, and
set the little pots of paint in a
row and then she tried to get
Jane to play a game with her.
"I'll make a sketch but you
tell me what paints to use-look
hard at the water and call out
the colors you see"
"Grey!' 4-
"Jane dear-don't make a
face. When you squint your face
up tight, you squint your feel
ings too-and then you can't see
color in anything . Come on,
Jane. I'll dip the brush where
you say"
QUT Jane wanted no part of
y it. "Use any you like. Use
'em all" Margaret laughed,
just as if Jane was playing the
game. ANY of 'em, all Of 'em,"
Margaret chanted and she let

talk about our part in the Christ
mas program" She stopped a
moment, and Jane leaned for
ward eagerly. Christmas time
was her time, and the more nice
things in it the better! IF you
like the idea, this class will do
a play-"She stopped again,
because they all made so much
noise, they did like the idea all
right. The boys carried the
whistling and stamping too far,
as they always did, and Jane
joined the girls in a breathy
hush to quiet them.
Fine" Miss David said, "but
from now on let's just see hands.
How many would like to do
Snow White?'"
THERE were so many hands
l Jane couldn't count them all,
and Miss David laughed and said
she was glad she'd picked a
favorite. We'll cast the play
next week. But in the few
minutes that are left before the
bell rings, suppose we sit quietly
and think about the casting.
Who should be Snow White?
Who'd make the best Prince?
Who could act wicked enough
fo- the Queen"
"Carlotta DIAL" a boy yelled.
Miss David's voice rode down
the filters. 81 said quietly .
Give your imaginations a chance.
Think about all the characters,
what part you would like to
play"
The Prince! Jane whispered.
The Prince was her favorite.
But she couldn't be it, of course,
because it was a boys part.
Huberto! He was the one, he'd
make lovely Prince. In flash
Jane saw Huberto climbing up
the stairs, coming to her party
still wearing the gorgeous cos
tune of the Prince Why
they could all come in costume,
all those who were in the play
they'd be glad to put their
costumes on again for James
party. And she would wear,
well, she'd have to wear a cos
tume-for how would it look
for her not to-the very one
who was giving the party? She
must have a part! 1t didn't
matter what part. Probably
they wouldn't give her a very
good one. They might not want
to give her any-but they
should, they would if she told
them she learned lines very
well, she was in lots of plays
in Wisconsin. And then-Jane
though of something simply
wonderful something t h
made part hers, especially
hers! And if she told them why
it had to be hers, they'd have
to give it to her-whether they
wanted to or not.

for it and finally the minute
hand made it's jerky jump.
There! exactly a quarter to
three. Jane kept watching for
the next jump, which would
make it one minute past
quarter to three, when Miss
David happened to look up at
the clock too, and her eyes
bumped into James.
Jane smiled quickly.
Miss David smiled back. But
not in any special way, Jane
noted. The smile could have
been for any of the children.
Jane sighed. She didn't have
a real hard crush on Miss
David, like she used to have on
Miss Philips in third grade. In
Wisconsin. But when you move
to a new place and go to new
school, and in the whole neigh
borhood and in the whole school
the teacher is the only one who
likes you!
Jane kicked the iron stand
that held her desk to the floor.
Her foot hit it where a toe was
already sore, and her eyes
feared. There was an awful mo-
ment when she wasn't sure if
she could keep the tears back
but she sat up stiff and straight
and held them all right. Miss
David did like her-she just
didn't notice this time that the
smile came from Jane.
n ESIDES, Jane reminded her
p self, today was Friday, and
this was the week that used up
the very last of November. On
Monday December began, and
then in no time at all it would be
Christmas-week and the Party.
Her party. A get-acquainted
party, where you don't have to
know the children you ask,
they'll come all the same, be-
cause that's the way they get
to know you. One time, after
they moved, Margaret didn't
even have to give a party her
self, because a neighbo- wanted
to. That's all right too, you let
anyone who wants to give it for
you. Then, of course, you give
a return one, later on But
here it must be different; not
only no parties for her, but if
she gave one-there was an aw-
full terrible chance = no one
would come! Because they
needed time to like her, Mar
garet said.
This isn't like moving to
another town in Wisconsin,"
Margaret said, just as if Jane
didn't know it couldn't be diff
ferenter than Wisconsin! land
in a strange place it sometimes
takes longer to make friends.
But once you know them you'll
like them every bit as much as
the children back home"
Il want to know them-but
they won't let me-"
They're not ready to know
you yet, but-in time-I tell
you what, Jane, let's give them
a party in Christmas week.
What's a better time for friend
ship than Christmas? And we'll
make it big party, for all the
neighbors-and we'll invite your
classmates toor'
mot the whole class-there
isn't room for more than,
than. -. :"
0UT Margaret said yes, there'd
p be room, she'd make room,
even if she had to hang the stove
from the chandelier, and set the
sink on the fire escape. Jane
had giggled when Margaret said
that about the sink; the faucet
always dripped and Jane could
just see the drops falling down
down down smack!-on the
heads of the people in the
street. Thinking about it now
gave her the giggles again and

Jane stood up. She faced Miss
David but she spoke to the
class. "Tkey can all stop think

shrill voice. Pm the only one
who can be Snow White-be-

Margaret saw her watching and
spanked her--just in fun-and

around her own head until they
hid her pale wispy hair

to their angry eyes, then said to

I am.
CHE faced them again. But
y the dark eyes were turning
away. The looks were being
switched eff Jane crumbled
into her seat.
No one looked at her. No
one Jane kept her head
down for while, till a drawer
opening, closing, made her
bring her head up again high
where Miss David millt be
looking-but the teachers own
head was down, bent over some
thing on her desk.
This was worse than it had
ever been. This not looking.
Worse than any meanness. It
made her feel queer, as if Jane
wasn't really there. at all-they
didn't want her there so hard,
she wasn't. Or-she was there,
but they weren't, they'd gone off
and left her alone. Suddenly
she was sure they had gone off,,
for real-but there was the boy
in front of her, so close she
could touch him. She raised her
hand to poke him-but she
couldn't! 1t was too big to reach
across, this space around her.
And it kept growing. She hud-
died into herself When she
heard footsteps coming towards
her, she began to tremble
1T was Miss David, walking

at her. But the smile held no
comfort for Jane = it was too

saying. Maybe you are white.
