ROOSEVELT HALS WORK OF SHRINE Cummings Relays Praise From President for Aid to Crippled Children. Cheered by a presidential message commending their work for crippled children and keyed to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the color and music of the opening parade, members of the Imperial Coincil of the Shrine this afternoon lsunched at the National ‘Theater the first of & series of sessions arranged for its memorable sixty-first annual conclave. President Roosevelt, himself a noble of Cyprus Temple, Albany, N. Y., con- commendation Shrine, called attention to the Gov< ernment’s own efforts in behalf of children in the realm of kidnaping | round-ups and crime prevention. Referring to the Weyerhaeuser kid- naping at Tacoma, which, he said, “4s moving rapidly toward e complete aad satisfactory solution,” Cummings declased that kidnaping, “terrible as it is,” is but one of a series of crimes with which the Federal Government ||} is seeking to deal. Asks Support of Shrine. Expanding on plans of the Depart- ment of Justice for a new crime pre- vention bureau, the Attorney General | said he hopes to integrate this bu- reau with the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation and the Bureau of Pris- ons “into a well-rounded structure to deal with the problem of crime in all | its principal aspects—first, cause and prevention; second, detection and ep- prehension; third, punishment and | rehabilitation.” | Cummings asked for the support of the Shrine in furthering this pro- gram, for he pointed out it deals to a large extent with stamping out| crime before it has had opportunity to take root in the younger genera. tion. He said that the interest of the Shrine end the Department of | E#¢ Justice in children is mutual, al- though directed along differing lines. ‘The chief business of the council | will be transagted tomorrow with the election of a new imperial potentate, Leonard P.

Considering its primary part in perpetuating the race it is the world’s most important nourishment. It is essential to the well being of the young child, indis- pensable to the invalid, of demonstrable value to every adult. Happily, it is one of the cheap- est foods in point of nutri- ment value. Take thought of the major food items in the family budget, and the price of milk is among the lowest. Milk earns its place in the American hoize—not by in- genious allurements which might gain it entrance and temporary welcome—but by a solid worth proved every day, over and over again. Good as milk may be of itself, it is of no use until it is in the hands of the consumer. " 1t is the facilities of the cor- fi:fi ‘milkman that give what the economist calls the utility of time and place. That it is economical to use is an extra dividend of the milkman’s service, oy UT FARMS- HASE DAIRY CHEST N CHEVY C S MEN!.. last year the /Jast word was 7 PALMBEACH and we're this year . repeating . . adding TAN...anda new low (Last year, 318500 7, Single and Double Briasted Suits for Men 'GROSNER L e 1305 E Street
