DROUGHT SPREADS; Ia FARNM PRIGES RISE Hot, Dry Weather Expected to Continue in West- ern States. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, June 24.—Farmerd in the arid areas of the West, watching farm commodity prices rise while crop prospects waned, today faced continua- tion of hot, dry weather. Deeply concerned over the spread of the drought, they received more bad news from meteorologists. Generally fair and warmer conditions were fore- cast. Showers were regarded as prob- able only in the Northern Great Plains section. Market authorities cited the prevail- ing heat and lack of rain as the major factor in the advance of agricultural products to points at or near seasonal price peaks. July wheat at Chicago passed the 95-cent mark yesterday. A year ago the quotation was approximately 79 cents; a week ago, 87 cents. Novem- ber butter was at the 31-cent level yesterday, compared to 29 a week ago and 23 & year back. The top on hogs yesterday was $10.50, up 25 cents in seven days and 75 cents in a year. No. 1 red wheat, a grade superior to the usual market variety and from a new Indiana crop shipment, sold for $1.04 here yesterday. The Federal Government stepped into the emergency. Senator Bulow of South Dakota said President Roose- velt and W. P. A. Administrator Harry Hopkins had approved a program of W. P. A. employment, live stock loans | end direct relief for farmers whose crops had failed in the Northwest. The cost was estimated between $50,- 000,000 and $100,000,000. - Dog Waits for Dining Cars.

After Learning Conditions. “Will you please give me the ad- dress of the A—— family mentioned in that swimming pool story Sunday,” sald a woman's voice over the tele- phone to The Star. “I want to help them.” The charitable caller was informed that the address would be furnished if she desired, but that her intended contribution would do more good if given to the fund for reopening the swimming pool at the 614 E street Y. W. C. A. After being told the cir- cumstances, she agreed and decided to help all the families in the neigh- borhood instead of just the one. A single family was mentioned, just as individual children have been men- tioned, to bring into bes-relief the plight of several thousand families in the region bounded by the Mall, Eleventh, O and North Capitol streets; the distressing housing conditions and the lack of recreation facilitles for children, but most of all the need Pool Regarded Essential.

The council has counted 693 room- ing houses in the central area, each with eight or nine rooms, one family to a room. In many cases—a ma- Jority of cases, perhaps—there is one bath room (if it can be called that) to each of these dwellings. Dank and dark basement “apartments” house families of 6 and 8 and 10. Omitting other considerations, it is obvious that bathing and sanitary facilities in such houses are grossly inadequate. On the 940 F Street N.W. New 1937 Your Neighbor will tell you that “WE SELL FOR LESS” Thursday Only MAJESTIC premises of the pool it is planned to reopen are at least nine showers, and free soap and towels are to be supplied. To call the children who would use the pool “underprivileged” is under- statement, for more than half the families in the area are on relief, which means the mother or father is unemployable, or the principal wage- earner is on W. P. A. rolls, which means a total income of perhaps $72 monthly. Juvenile Delinquency. In support of the pool sponsors’ statement that there is a high pro- portion of juvenile delinquency in the area which can be reduced if whole- some recreation facilities are provided is the figure showing 124 children of this section on probation. More alarming still is the fact that 22 per cent of all automobile acci- dents in which Washington children were injured last year happened in this comparatively small area. This indicates that trafic accidents are related directly to lack of proper recreation space. Children play in the MET. 7071 Int.
