sister up in Georgia. She had
contractor figuring on tearing
down building, salvaging the
slate on the roof and then relay
ing the slate on the roof of her
home. He offered to do it so she
let him.
So now he wants to claim this
as seh-employment. I asked him
whether he had qualified as a
contractor or builder, IL he had a
license, a place of business, did
he hold himself out to the public
as being in the contracting bust
ness? Did he advertise, have
sign out in front of his home, was
he listed in the city or telephone
directories, and was he generally
known to be in that sort of BUSH
ness? drew blanks all the way.
So again I told him-No! I ex-
planned that the Social Security
Act was designed to cover those
persons who were actually and
actively engaged in a trade or
business. I explained that an oc-
casional job could hardly be used
as basis to qualify him as being
"in business" Then, too, he had
done only two jobs, both of which
were for relatives and had made
no effort to obtain other jobs or
to become known as a contractor.
After two years of experience
with self-emplovment we find
that there is still a lot of con-
fusion in the minds of the public.
II you are at all in doubt as to
whether you are self-employed or
not, I'd suggest that you visit our
office. Maybe we can help you.

Prostitution Charues
Disputed in Georgia
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

ATHENS. Ca, June 49,
Mayor Jack r. Wells yesterday
charged that houses of i'll fame
are "in full swing" here with
"heavy traffic" from University
Of Georgia students, but he was
promptly disputed.
Calling for outside help to
close them down, the mayor
said:
1T is my understanding that
these houses have been in opera
tion and smearing the good
name of Athens for more than
so years. I have tried to close
them for five years since being in
Office but to no avail"
But police authorities, with
whom the mayor has been en-
gagged in dispute over jurisdic-
tional powers, declared the
houses, allegedly located on Bar
rett street. were ordered closed
on April 3 and closed on April 4.
Police Chief Clarence Roberts
would not say directly whether
the houses may have re-opened.
Mayor Wells, relating that Su-
perior Court Judge Henry H.
West had ruled that he had no
authority over the police, ap-
pealed to Solicitor General D.
Marshall Pollock of Monroe by
letter to clamp down on the
houses of prostitution.
He enclosed a confidential re-
port by the American Social Hy-
giene Association which. he said,
confirmed the operation of sew
eral houses and said they had a
heavy traffic" of university stu
dents and Servicemen.

Jury Weighs Fate
Of AirTnan in Traffic
Death Of Two Girls

The case of Air Force Sergt.
Howard e. Lowe, ST.. 26. being
tried for manslaughter in the
traffic deaths Of two young girls
April "a went to q Federal Court
jury shortly after noon today.
Earlier, efforts by Sergt. Lowe
to have his case go to a jury
on a lesser count of negligent
homicide failed.
Trial Moves Slowly.
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut
Of the q. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia, took
under advisement late yesterday
q defense motion seeking to have
the manSlaughter counts thrown
out. Judge Schweinhaut today,
however. denied the motion. Tes-
timony was completed yesterday.
The trial. which had been
expected to end sooner, moved
slowly yesterday. The jury was
excused while Defense Attorney
George H. Windsor argued that
negligence SUFFICIENT to consti-
tute manslaughter had not been
proved.
Mr.. Windsor urged the court
to grant Judgment of acquittal
or to let the case go to the jury
only on the lesser charges of
negligent homicide.
Sergt. Lowe, who is colored,
took the stand yesterday to
testify in his own defense. He
said he saw the girls as they
started to cross in front Of his
automobile on Suitland parkway
Sc. and that at that instant
the automobile struck them.
The children were Patricia
Dodge, 8, and Inez Richie, 9.
Under cross-examination by
Assistant United States Attorney
Frederick q. SmithSon, Sergt.
Lowe accounted for having told
the police shortly after the acci-
dent that his automobile had
struck one of the children while
another automobile had struck
the other one.
Doubts Excessive Speed.
Sergt. Lowe declared that just
after the accident he could not
admit even to himself that he
had killed two persons. II have
two children of my own," he said.
Sergt. Lowe expressed the belief
that he was not driving at an
excessive speed.
Much of the testimony yester-
day dwelt on physical evidence as
to the probable speed of the au-
tomobile at the time it struck the
girls, the condition of it's brakes
and other factors. Earlier in the
trial, which began on Monday,
several witnesses testified Sergt.
Lowe was going at a speed of over
so miles an hour.
Maximum possible penalty up
on conviction of manSlaughter is

Careful Planning of Farm
Operations Urged

It's still not too late to do some
last minute planning for this
years farming operations, says w.
T. McAllister, extension marketing
specialist with the University of
Delaware. Take advantage of
every opportunity by careful plan
ming of this years work.
Here are some planning hints
suggested by McAllister. Plan
your farm. Build your crop pro-
gram around your dairy or poultry
enterprise. Put extra land in cash
crops such as corn or truck crops.
Lower production costs by pro-
ducing more per acre, per animal,
and per worker. Sell all low pro-
ducing animals. Remember, a dol
lar spent on fertilizer will return
two or three dollars worth of in
creased yields. More and better
roughage plus good feeding prac-
tees will cut dairy costs. Plan a
long season pasture program by
using supplemental pasture.
McAllister advises all farmers to
get on good financial standing.
Credit will be harder to obtain this
year, so use your money carefully.
Watch overhead costs. Make sure
that new machinery will pay for it.

Allister. 'Trey'n help you improve

work"

Pennsylvania State College
Specialist To Speak at Annual
ABC MEETING

Joe S. Taylor, dairy specialist at
Pennsylvania State College, will
give an illustrated talk on new de-
velopments in artificial breeding at
the annual Delaware Artificial
Breeders Cooperative meeting,
Tuesday, March 10.
Taylor has had much expert
ence with artificial breeding of cat
tile. Before coming to Pennsyl-
vania, he was dairy specialist at
Cornell University, in charge of de-
veloping the artificial breeding
program in New York State. He
has also been a fieldman for the
American Jersey Cattle Club. ,Tay-
lor received his masters degree in
animal nutrition and physiology
from Cornell.
According to Delmar ]. Young,
Delaware extension dairyman, the
directors of the state cooperative
have planned an outstanding pro-
gram. At 1890 a. M, breeders
will meet at the Stroud Farm barn
on the Experimental Farm in New
ark to see the bull parade. The
bulls will be on the rotary bull ex-
erciser, so that each one can be in
spected and discussed.
The luncheon meeting will be
held in Harmony Grange Hall,
Limestone Road near Newark at
12:45. Tickets may be reserved by
writing or calling the Dairy Exten-
sion Office, Agricultural Hall, Uni
versity of Delaware, Newark.
Young stressed that this is an
excellent opportunity for dairymen
to see the bulls used in the Della
ware artificial breeding program,
and to learn the newest breeding
developments. Young urges all in
terested dairymen to attend this
meeting.
