Under special arrangements being | made by the mission, 350 baskets of | food, each containing a wholesome din- ner for five persons, will be distributed | early in the day. Care has been taken | in going over the mission's list of fami- | lies to select those believed to be in| greatest need. | Spread for Homeless. In addition, the mission will serve Thanksgiving dinner at 1 o'clock to| approximately 450 homeless men. Roast pork will supplant turkey on the menu, but there will be pie and plenty of ex- tras. Men will be fed as long as the | supply of food lasts | Members of the Women's Guild of | the mission, headed by Mrs. Willlam | H. Ramsey, will serve the dinner and | take care of the Thanksgiving dinner | for inmates of the Children’s Emer- gency Home.

G. G. | Kundahl, who has conducted these | services at the Central Union Mission | for many vears. There also will be spe- | cial music. Dependent wholly upon its friends | n the churches and others who have | become interested in its work, the mis- | slon has appealed for funds with which | to conduct its Thanksgiving and Christmas relief work. This appeal has met with generous response, but the | demands upon the mission ‘this year are far in excess of those during nor- mal times. Despite the prevailing warm weather, clothing still constitutes one of the greatest needs for the 300 or more men who apply nightly for aid Few, if any, are adequately equipped against the approaching cold. HEAD OF BUS LINE SUED $35000 Asked of R. L. May by | Edna Hamilton for Injuries. | Robert Les May, trading as the Alex- andria, Barcroft, Washington Rapid | Transit Co., was sued yesterday in Dis- | trict Supreme Court for $35.000 dam- ages by Edna Hamilton, 1627 E street southeast, who alleged personal injur- les while a passenger on a bus of the defendant on January 16, 1929. While attempting to alight at Alex- andria, she said, the bus started when she had one foot on the ground, caus- ing her to be thrown violently and to suffer serious injury to her spine. She is represented by Attorney Wil- Mam Wendell. 18 in. heats 4 to Completely installed for 20 in. heats 5 to 6 rooms. Completely installed for sortment of appreciative citizens. In ‘“‘Local Boy Makes Good” at the Earle ‘Theater, he is & college sprinter who unexpect- edly makes a record. He has been terrified by the threats of his chief op- ponent from & rival college, and nearly misses the road to fame, but through the ef- forts of two young women he is driven to action in time to win needed points for alma mater. One of the young women, & beauty contest winner, is acciden- tally idealized, but the other drives him to action and later wins the favor of the great athlete. Among the casual props of the motion picture are an athletic field with events under way, college atmosphere, a book storein which the young triangle develops, and sev- eral kinds of sports equipment. They are not really needed, but Mr. Brown is able to exercise his vigorous talents most eccentrically when he has plenty of material at hand. He is ably assisted by Dorothy Lee and Ruth Hall, two distinct types, who employ the full range of qualities involved when students apply the Jearning of the class room to situa- tions far removed from the original purpose—psychology, for instance. Other experienced players who are in the cast include Edward Woods, Wade Boteler, William _Burress, Edward J. Nugent and John Har- rington. It is all good material for Joe Brown, who is not dependent on the famous laugh for his effects, and it is excellent college drama. The laughs are uninterrupted as the story unfolds. The stage program for the week at the Earle gives that impression of continuous action, which, along with Fred Clark’s orchestra, is as- sociated with effective vaudeville. The numbers are headed by the of- fering of “Little Jack Little,” radio star, who talks into a microphone on the stage registering at the foot of the proscenium, and is permitted to respond to numerous encores. Jane and Katherine Lee retain their popularity with the usual variety in their offerings. Sylvia and Clemence with Andrini Brothers display out- standing talent in music and danc- ing, and wind up with most attrac- tive steps to the music of “The Joe E. Brown.

New “Sherlock Holmes” At the Metropolitan. HEY'VE got & new Sherlock Holmes this week at the Metro- politan. He's a true Britisher— smokes & pipe, wears an odd felt hat (not the usual Holmes hat), talks slowly and distinctively, and is a comfortable, phlegmatic sleuth. He's not like William Gillette, nor_like Clive Brook. He's very much him- self—which is Arthur Wontner, a British actor of note—who turns in a highly creditable performance, Mr. Wontner's ambling personal- ity and languid expressionism fit in well with the pace of the film—which one can never say is at all hurried. In fact, at the beginning you wonder if they are ever going to bite into the plot—there is so much about bridge, and butlers, and what hap- pened to the ace of spades. After & time, however, things begin to hap- pen — and although they never amount to very much—beyond & murder, a robbery and a few faked bank notes—there is enough to carry along nicely until the final curtain. Some” of the scenes are unneces- sarily curtailed—and some of the lighting and photography not up to standard of our own films (this was done in England). Yet, on the whole, one cannot complain—since much’ of it is very pleasant and a whole army of small boys Who first greeted it yesterday (submerged in Sherlock Holmes hats and pipes which the management had given them—perhaps unfortunately — one can make peculiar noises with a pipe), scemed to enjoy it immensely. The solution of the problem is reached through the customary Holmes method of being, as he says, “elementary.” Aided by the genial Watson, who never yet has solved anything, Holmes exposes a flerce Professor Moriarty who pretends one of his arms has been digested by a tiger. and who has been exceedingly unfriendly all his life by shooting ex- traneous people. 1In this case he shoots a man who plays crooked bridge (which s perhaps justifiable). ‘The cast, other than the capable Mr. Wontner, is uninteresting.

Chamber Directors Hear Report Urging Liberal Policy for Employes. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y., November 21— After months of exhaustive study, the Committee on Employes’ Retirement to- night submitted what it considers one of the most liberal programs ever of- fered by & body of the kind to the di- rectors of the United States Chamber of Commerce at the final session of their annual meeting. The program will come up for decisive action at the annual meeting of the chamber in California next May. The committee points out that re- gard for the personal interests of em- ployes, for the welfare of soclety in general and for efficlent administration of their own enterprises should prompt employers to develop some method in aiding or providing for the financial security of their superannuated em- ployes. Advantages Revealed. “The retirement of superannuated employes of long service on annuities s an aid to the profitable and efficient administration of business enterprises to employers, em- ublic,” it is set forth. “The annuity plan should provide for reasonable minimum payments.” Careful consideration is the question whether the entire ex- pense of the retirement’ annuity plan should be borne by the employer, or whether the plan should contain pro- vision for participation by the em- ployes in the cost of the plan. » Funds which either employes o employers have paid into a contrib- utory plan should be fully safeguarded either through insurance or trust funds, it is recommended. Another article in the report recom- mends a progressive step toward as- suring the benfits of employes’ retire- ment annuities to the large numbers of employes who do not remain with the same employer until reaching the retirement age. It suggests that em- ployers having annuity plans rmit employes whose connection with the company is terminated after a reason- able period of service to retain their annuity credits, properly safeguarded, to help provide for their old age.
