The police homicide squad and the eoroner's office today were investigat- ing the death of Miss Billy Hopkins, 22-year-old stenographer, who was picked up on the street ‘more than a week ago suffering from the effects of poison. The girl, who roomed at 1210 Six- teenth street, was taken to Emergency Hospital where she died early today. Police who first took over the case expressed the opinion the poison was self-administered. A note, found in her pocketbook, indicated she was dis- appointed in a love affair. Roomers who knew the girl said she had gone to dinner with a man on the night of September 18 several hours before she was found in a park. The note read: “Irving dear: I gee where we won't be happy again— | together. I don't want to live with- out you, but what can I do? I did you wrong. I'm sorry that you won't forgive me, but always remember I love you.” An employe of an investment firm, | Miss Hopkins came to Washington | from Huntington, W. Va, a few months ago. She had lived at the rooming house only a few weeks. & (Continued From First Page.) Regatta three classes are battling this after- noon in a 5-mile free-for-all. In each of the four events the first three to finish are receiving trophies awarded by The Evening Star, to spur interest in this phase of water sport which this year made its first ap- pearance on a regatta program here. Sweep for D. C. Sailors. The comet and canoe races were a clean sweep for Washington sailors, but the moth class was Baltimore all the way. Trailing Skipper Smythe in the comet class were the Serena, whose owner, Clyde Cruit, had as his aid E. Covert. In third place was the Freya, with D. H. Fowler, the owner, and R. S. Doyle serving as crews. In the canoe race, the runners-up were Jack Hazzard, father of the co- victor, whose assistant was his son John, and Jim Hood, sailing alone. The canoes carried numbers only as their designation. The President’s Cup regatta got under way toaay as a fleet of trim sail ing boats raced for trophies donated by The Evening Star.

As the sailing races are winding up at 4 o'clock, the marine novelty events start in Georgetown Channel, oppo- site the grandstand. The Coast Guard has arranged a breeches buoy demonstration, the Red Cross is giving a water safety pro- gram and there are aquaplane stunts. Tonight at 8 the brilliant water pageant will get under way and at its | conclusion Miss Evelyn Standley, the | queen, will be crowned at the Corin- thian Yacht Club, which is hoiding open house. The pageant is attracting a large | number of entries from yacht clubs here and in Baltimore and the Poto- mac River Sailing Association is putting 13 sailboats in the spectacle, equipping them with auxiliary motors for this occasion. Admiral H. G. Hamlet, commandant of the Coast Guard, will act as commodore. The pageant will be preceded by a band concert on Hains Point, starting at 6:30. Races Tomorrow. ‘The first of the power boat races will be run at 11 am. tomorrow and from then until 5:30 the speedy craft will be getting away in the various events on—generally—20-minute in- tervals. The first of three 15-mile heats | which will determine the winner of | | the President’s Cup will go at 2:40.| The last two heats will be Sunday. Right after the President’s Cup race will come the All-Washington Sweepstakes, a 10-mile test for Wash- ington owned and driven boats. The day on the water will be con- cluded at 4 o'clock with a series of | canoe races for both men and women, sanctioned by the American Canoe | | Association. On Sunday there also | | will be canoe and rowing races. the latter having the sanction of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oars- men. Annual Regatta Dinner. Trailing the Jaycce in the moth class were two entries of the Msry- land Yacht Club, the “60" and * whose pilots were not ldennfied on the committee boat. A disqualifica- | tion marked the running of the comet | class, Maj. H. H. Jacobs, in the “Litl” beirg ruled out after finishing third, | for fouling of another contestant in turning a buoy. Mrs. Jacobs was sailing with hee husband. Twenty- three sailing vessels, with various rig, participated in the three races, the moths drawing the smallest field— | five. 1 A slight mishap caused a flurry ori excitement as the sailing canoes broke past a committee boat to launch the three-day regatta card. The Jaycee | turned over as Johnson was cruis- | ing around the outer fringe of | the contestants. A patrol boat went | to his assistance, nowever, and his craft was readily righted. The start of the canoe race saw the 717, with Joseph J. O'Meara handling | the sails, breaking first over the line, closely followed by the trim craft | of Van Kemmen and C. F. Mac- Mullen. The rest of the field was | strung out behind and as they rounded the Hains point marker, O'Meara still held his advantage. When the comets crossed the line a few minutes after the last canoe had cleared, the Sassy showed in front, | and when the moths got under way | the Jaycee, expertly handled by John- son, was off by herself, leaving the others trailing. As the water was filled with the | gleaming canvas of more than a scor2 of the bobbing boats the spectators, | who had begun to line the shores lorg | before the first race started, were kepi in touch with everything that was ing on by means of a public addre system operated from the Coast Guard cutter Apache. “Radio Joe” Kaufman was master of ceremonies, and he had the as- sistance of John A. Remon, general chairman of the Regatta Committee; Jack Marsh, chairman of the sailing | races, and Prentice E. Edrington, wao gave a running account of each race. Each of the three classes this morn- ing was allowed two hours to finish. This afternoon they all get together in the free-for-all, which will be just that Charles O.

Should only one of them refuse to abide by the decisions of the League it will be difficult for the others not to follow suit. And, under such circumstances, the fat will be in the fire. An international conflagration is much more around the corner than prosperity ever was during the last few years. * % ko x Judging by his past actions, it seems improbable that Mussoiini, who has educated the Italian people to the thought that Italy’s interests must be placed ahead of any other interests, will be scared into submission to the League's edicts. Il Duce is out-napoleoning Na- poleon in the brevity of his speeches. When he was asked last week to address some 20,000 Fas- cists, his speech consisted of er- actly three words—Noi tireremo diritto” (“We go ahead”). That laconic phrase was caught up with enthusiasm as the watchword of a whole nation.

Answering Some Pertinent Questions About VENETIAN BLINDS Are they expensive? Good Venetian Blinds are a real economy. They cost roughly the same for each window as a new window shade and awning together would cost. With Venetian Blinds, of course, you need neither shades nor awnings. Are there different kinds? ‘There are several different makes on the market, but really only two kinds—good ones, which you will want to have, and the cheap ones, which you don't want. Beware of the Venetian Blind the chief selling point of which is LOW PRICE. Do they last a long time? A good, modern Venetian Blind should have no trouble lasting a lifetime. Carefree comfort and charm in the home comes with the installation of GOOD Venetian Blinds. Are they easily operated? Yes, practically trouble-proof, too. In their manufacture, we employ only the finest imported tape and selected hardwood slats in glowing colors. To adjust, there’s a simple automatic lifting cord and a tilting device provides for the correct angle for privacy, sunlight or breezes.
