KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 27.—The | Tennessee Valley Authority, buoyed by an United States Circui* Court of Appeals decision holding its power program constitutional, swings into its third year withymuch accomplished and greater plans ahead. The agency, created at the sugges- tion of President Roosevelt to plan for the “proper use, conservation and development of the natural resources of the Tennessee River drainage basin for the social and economic welfare of the Nation,” started from scratch in June, 1933.

DID YOU KNOW THAT—? If you stop your automobile out- side a church where religious serv- ices are in progress and blow your horn persistently and unnecessarily and so disturb the congregation it is lawful for any one of the deacons, elders or other authority of the church to drag you from your car by the nape of the neck and drag you to the nearest police station, “to be there held for trial?” The District code gives the power of arrest to church authorities in such cases and prescribes a fine of not to exceed $100 for the offense of molesting or disturbing “any congregation engaged in any re- ligious exercises or proceedings in any church or place of worship in the District of Columbia.” * ok % % MEMORY AIDS.

One of the Congress- men was called upon to reply to Mr. Saito's speech. “Gentlemen,” -he started. “I am flattered to be called upon to reply | to the kind words of the Chinese Am- | bassador.” Guests looked at each other and winked, but no one said anything.

WOMEN'S CAMPS 10 BE RESUMED Educational Welfare Work for Unemployed Cared for 1,800 Last Year. Educational camps ‘or unemployed young women, another of Mrs. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt's ideas of welfure re- lief, will be re-established this Sum-.| mer and Fall in connection with the new work-relief program. Some 1,800 women were given food, sheiter and educational opportunities at 28 of these camps last year in 26 States and the District. On the strength of this record, Aubrey W. Williams, acting F. E. R. A, admin- istrator, has authorized a resumption of the program for a period of six weeks to two mohths. ‘The camps will be established ac- cording to individual programs to be adopted by each State. In the Dis- trict of Columbia, for instance, Com- missioner George E. Allen, works progress administrator, will co-oper- ate with officials of the Board of Public Welfare and local educational and labor organizations, Two camps, one for white and the other for col- ored, were inaugurated here last year with encouraging success.

The youthful com- poser, slight of build, blue-eyed and studious, is the head of his lyceum class in Innsbruck, Austrian Tyrol, ‘where he is at school. His first composition was a virile and tuneful march, “Youth,” which has already achieved popularity over the air. A song, “I'm Just a Little Foot Trouper,” with a catchy tango | rhythm, has been played by the lead- ing orchestra in Austria.
