SOON | THE EVENING |VOTELESS PLIGHT OF DISTRICT POEM FEATURED IN BROADCAST Walt Mason's poem on the voteless plight of the residents of Washington, which he wrote and syndicated in 1919 at the request of Joseph D. Kaufman, was broadcast by WMAL Wednesday night during the program by “Radio Joe and his Budget Boys,” which was dedicated to the citizens' joint com- mittee on national repres:ntation for the District. “Radio Joe"” read the poem, which follows: “In Washington men pay their taxes on motor cars and battle axes, on stately homes with all their splendors, on furniture and pink suspenders. The burden ever greater waxes; there's no variety of taxes that doesn’t hit the stricken city and make it look around for pity. And Washington would dig the money and wear a smile serene and sunny, and show a host of cheerful Rhyme Written by Walt Mason in 1919 Is Read in { Program Dedicated to Joint Committee. faces, if she could note like other places. But Uncle Sam, he says: ‘No, never. Let digging up be your endeave and do not knock, with busy mallet, because you cannot have the ballot. You should be glad to dig the boodle, and whoop around for Yankee Doodle, sound loy- alty to me denoting, without a bughouse wish for voting.’ “From Washington men go to battle, where mortars pop and sabers ratt they go, from shanty and from manor, and wave aloft our spangled banner, and offer all they have for freedom, and when they go we cry, ‘God speed ‘em!’ When they come back, their laurels toting, and ask to do their share of voting, we say: ‘Gee whiz! Such talk is treason! Now, boys, ask anything in reason, and you will not be rendered goatless—but Washington is always voteless.’ LECTURER O TEL OF LABRADDRFOLKS Sir Wilfred Grenfell to Talk Under Auspices of Geo- graphic Society. A vivid picture of the Labrador of the rugged fisher folk, who for over 150 years have wrested & living from the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, will be presented to a large and distinguished audience to- night in a lecture delivered at the Wash- ington Auditorium by Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell under the auspices of the Na- tional Geographic Society. Over 35 years ago Sir Wilfred, then Dr. Grenfell, set sail from England for the Labrador coast to investigate con- ditions among the fishermen there. From that day until this he has labored ceaselessly to better conditions among the people of that region. Hospitals, nursing stations, schools, orphanages and industrial work centers for the benefit of the fishermen and their fa ilies have been established by Sir Wi fred since the time when as a young doctor he first set foot on the Labrador coast. Sir Wilfred's greatest source of pride is the splendidly equipped hos- pital at St. Anthony, which boasts a staff of doctors and nurses unsurpassed in equipment and training by any hos- pital in the great “civilized” centers of Rty Grentell, who renfell, wi is_of Scotch- American descent, the daughter of Edmund MacClanahan of Chicago, companies Sir Wilfred on most of expeditions of mercy to the most iso- lated districts of the Labrador coast. Contrary to the prevalent idea of those unfamiliar with that part of the world, scarcely 900 imos remain in all of Labrador, and very few of Sir Wil- fred's patients and those coming under his care are the aborigines of the country. Lady Grenfell tells you that furs are never worn in Labrador, “except in the Summer time.” “We wear garments of a closely woven cotton cloth,” she said, in answer to the feminine question as to clothes. “Sir Wilfred worked for two years in -operation with experts in England to perfect this cloth, a far better pro- tection the cold than fur gar- ments.” Lady Grenfell is a great lover of dogs and horses and states that in her opinion, next. to horseback riding, the greatest sport in the world is RAISED GOLD INITIALS 708 7th Street N.W. ° driving a team of dogs over the frozen snows of Labrador. ‘The introduction of the radio has been a great boon to those living in this inaccessible country, where, Lady Grenfell tells you, it is necessary to | import all supplies from New York a | year in advance. “The wireless has brought much cheer.” she said, and the saying now is “that the band in Cuba sets the dogs in Labrador howling.” Eighty per cent of the income of the government-controlled radio stations in | Czechoslovakia is spent on broadcasting programs.

Located in the woods in Charles dorf, a huge illicit liquor still was seized yesterday by prohibition agents and blown to bits by dynamite. ‘The big liquor manufacturing plant was a picturesque establishment, set up to turn out a large quantity of rye whisky, and was believed to have been a source for some of the bootleg trade in the National Capital. It was well supplied with materials, which were seized and destroyed, all except a lone mule, which was released. Prohibition authorities have found that ‘animals seized in prohibition raids cost more to maintain than can be realized from their sale. No one was at or near the still when it was seized. ‘The prohibition agents, headed by Wwilliam R. Blandford, deputy prohibi- tion administrator for this section, in order to get to the still went by the house of the justice of the peace, past his barn, across two flelds and into a woods, which was not on the justice’s farm, but about 500 yards from his home. It was also learned that the still was not located on the property of a deputy sheriff, who lived in a house also about 500 yards from the still. The still was operated by an old saw mill boiler mounted on wheels. The Men like a little ife and color in their clothes, too.
