Blow 10 FEPC Is Seen
As Hot Election Issue
by the Asseeicted Press

The new Southern victory in the
Senate fight over the Fair En-
ployment Practices Commission
legislation is expected by the bills
proponents to provide political
issue for the congressional elec-
tions.
Administration Democrats and
Republicans are both set to blame
each other for the Dixie triumph
yesterday which killed OF all
chances for the controversial civil
rights measure at this session..
Truman Democrats contend
that q Republican-sponsored rule
passed last year stymied the bill.
Republicans say, the Democratic
Party is so badly split it can't
deliver on its civil rights prom
ises.
The end for FEPC came when
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
sought unsuccessfully for the Sec
ond time this year to win ap-
proval for debate curbs to bring
FEPc before the Senate for ac-
ton.
Fifty-fiye Senators voted for the
motion, nine fewer than the "a
required by the rule for debate
limitation. Thirty-three Senators
voted against it.

classified la In the draft?
A. Yes, if they are within the
1925 age group. AS a practical
matter, however, if such a man

more years.
@. VIII members of organized
Reserve units be the first called up

/ of general mobilization, and
would draw first from various
pools" of officers and men, q

pends on the particular needs of
the service.
@. How much, time will o re-
servist be given to put his per-
sonal affairs in order before he

A. AS much as practicable
Many reservists, of course. already
have mobilization assignments
and know how soon they mus
report after notification.
@. Do members of the Reserve
who return to active duty have
Unemployment rights?
A. Yes, under the Selectivs
Service Act as extended. But tt

Gull Pullets For
Laying House Says
County Farm Agent

Good management in raising pull
let's, plus culling out the weak, un-
developed birds during the growing
season, should give poultrymen
fOcks of good laying birds, accord
ing to VIM. c. Sloan, Assistant
County Agricultural Agent.
"Pullets should be selected for
vigor and early maturity" he says.
Remove weak, deformed, and un-
dersiZed birds. The head should be
well balanced with a bright, prom
inent eye; short, well-curved beak; /;
and a clean cut face. 1t is import
ant that pullets possess good body
size, have a wide back, deep body,
and be of standard weight.
While early sexual development
is desired" he continued, discard
the birds which come into produc-
tiOn before reaching the proper
size and weight. The bird which
has developed normally is we'll
feathered, and of a good size and
weight. It's the best bird for the
laying house. Good pigmentatiOr
and bright yellow shanks and beak
are also important"
Mr. Sloan points out that If you
have a large flock of pullets, it is
we'll to divide them into three
grOups-early maturing, average
and late maturing. House each
group in separate pen.

Bathing Suits Need
Baths, Too, They Say

Bathing suits last longer and
look better if you wash them care
fully, says Miss Ruth Pearce. eX-
tension clothing specialist at the
the University of Delaware. This is
especially true after you have been
swimming in chlorinated water or
water treated with other en- Meals
Salt water is hard on bathing suits
too.
Most bathing suits have a label
or tag attached giving washing
directions. Follow these for best re-
suits, but if you happened to pull
the tag off, or have lost it, here are
some suggestions.
wool bathing suits must be
handled carefully to revent
shrinking" Miss Pearce warns.
Wash them in iukewarm water
and use a very mild soap. Rinse
several times in mere clear, luke
warm wuter to remove every bit Of
the soap. If soap is left in the flo
ers become stifACnd hard. Hang Jha
suit in the shade to dry. Strong
soaps, or changes from hot to cold
water will makp the suit shrink.
"RayOn suits should be handler
gently. The fibers are weak when
wet. Hard twisting or wringing will
] break or tear the threads. Again
use lukewarm water and mild
soaps. You can follow the same
method for nylon or combination
nylon and rayon suits. Cotton bath
ing suits can be washed like any
other cotton garment"
If suit isn't worn very often il
is best to wash it after each wear
ing, and then put it away where
moths or mildew won't damage it

Babe Not Particular ;
Hit Almost Everybody
AP Newsfeatures

Af NeWSteature2
NEW YORK-Babe Ruth's home
run total of 60 in 1927 was unusual
in many respects. No one pitcher
was his favOrite pigeon.
The Babe garnered his total at
the expense of 80 different hurlers.
Rube Walberg Of the Athletics and
Milton Castor of the Browns both
served him four home run pitches.
Seven pitchers saw Ruth hit their
tosses for homers on three Occa-
sions. They were Hollis ThurstOn,
Tom Zachary, Joe Shaute, w. B.
Harriss, Al Thomas, Ken Holloway
and Tony Welzer.
The Boston Red Sox pitchers led
the gopher ball league as far as
Ruth was concerned. He blasted II
balls out of the park against five
Boston pitchers. Though the Ath-
letics finished second to the Yam
KEGS, four AS hurlers were the
victims of nine Ruthian wallops.

Grain supplies are due to be very
high according to United State De-
partment of Agriculture figures.
Meat will be about the same as
last year with more pork and large
supplies of chicken plus a near re-
cord crop of turkeys will help off
set shorter stocks Of other kinds of
meat.
From these figures it appears
that the market basket will be fill

Safety Council Notes

You can't shrug off traffic

he said, that every traffic sign and
signal you pass on the highway has
a definite reason for being where
it is. The hospitals and cemeteries
are full if ex-dTivers who shrugged
off some sign on the mistaken no
tion that whoever put it there did
not know what he was doing"
A great many intersections hav-
ing stop" signs are deceptively
safe looking, according to the Nat
ional Safety Council, but have a
bloody history behind them that
necessitated the original installa-
tion of these controls, the Delaware
Safety Council reports.
In the same way, each speed
limit and warning sign is a silent
testimonial to days and weeks of
investigation and testing by traffic
experts in their efforts to deter
mine at what speed, and under
what conditions, the road may be
safety travelled principles of inertia
and other seldom occur to the av-
erage driver.

Flower Arranging and Art

one no longer cares to follow the
practice of making flower arrange
ments, there is no loss.
There is or there can be, a
fuller and richer awareness of
beauty in every manifestation
possible-light, color, form tex
ture. structure, movement as
shown in growth. movement as
shown in unfolding and in disso-
luton. And if one becomes truly
aware in any special field, he
may. if he chooses, turn that
awareness into any conceivable
channel. even if it means a period
of further disciplines should he
wish to come to other channels of
communication.
The Importance of this as in
all art, is the growth of the artist
himself. He must come into his
full stature and when after years
of development he realizes the
changes in himself, he may re-
call part of that sage advice of
st. Paul's g. now that I am
become a man, I have put away
childish things and will realize
that in flower arrangement
there can be full expression that
one does not find too often in

The Potomac Rose Society
which has pryamided from a few
hundred to almost 1000 members
in the last few years-is looking
forward to entertaining the
American Rose Society as we'll as
to sponsoring the public rose
show. Both. events are to be
held in October. The American
Rose Society has 10000 amateur
members.
The PRS has added to an i'm
posing list of activities a demon
stration project with $50 bushes,
according to President Charles
Montgomery. This may be the
beginning of a more extensive
planting to be used as a display
garden for we'll known roses, and
as test garden for newer
varieties.
The October meeting of AIRS,
which will bring delegates here
from over the United States, will
be convened at the Shoreham
Hotel. The program will include
speakers prominent in agriculture
and horticulture, and tour
through the Agriculture Depart
ment Experiment Station at Belts
vile.
Any rosarian is welcome to join
PRS, Mr.. Montgomery said. The
group was started 20 years ago
when DR.. Whitman Cross was &C
lively engaged in his hobby of
hybridizing and propagating roses
in his famous Chevy Chase gar
dens. He saw the need for So
ciety to select roses suited to soils
and climate of the middle
Potomac area. The PRS was Or
ganized in 1881 and afiliation was
effected with AIRS in 1882.
Related activities of the Society
include the monthly News Letter,
research staff on fungicides and
insecticides. lending library,
demonstrations on pruning, spring
and fall tours to famous gardens
within a days journey, and the
annual show. Members enjoy
special purchasing privileges and
are given printed information
about techniques. Meetings are
