BOYSBUSY MAKING MOTHERS GIFTS Powell Center Woodwork Class Hums With Indus- try of Youth, Mother's going to receive a Christ- mas present from her son this year made by his own hands—and what's more, it's going to be within his budget, because it didn’t cost him a cent besides his boys’ club dues, 20 cents a semester. X Every Friday night, the Boys’ Club of Powell Community Center meets in the wood shop of Powell Junior High School to do wood work under the supervision of John H. Williams, who handles the regular daytime wood- work of the school. From 20 to 30 boys, faces intent on their work, ply hammer, chisel, saw and lathe to turn out stools, lamps, book ends, magazine racks, candle- sticks and other things, simple to make but effective. f Little Experience at Start. “Most of these boys never had a toel in their hands before they joined the class,” Williams explained when asked whether they had received previous training. “Of course, some of them at- tend the school woodwork classes.” Lately the youngsters have been playing Santa Claus, making their own Christmas presents. Charles O'Connell is making a stand for his mother so she can place her magazines on it, right by her chair. He couldn’t afford to buy her one at a store. John Lacovaro is making a lamp with a base shaped like a pump, By pulling the pump handle, the light is turned on. Wallace Riley and Walter Johnson are making combina- tion book and flower stands. Eddie Crandall's mother needs a new bedside lamp, and Eddie has one almost ready to stand under the tree Friday morning. Father Almost Forgotten. Carroll Jenkins has made two 20- inch sailing boats. “Mother can’t use sailboats, so I guess I'll keep those for myself,” he said. Hard-working father didn't seem to enter into the calculations of many of the boys. Almost invariably the question, “Who's going to get that present?,” was answered by, “Mother.” The answer to, “What's father going | was, “Oh, I guess dad'll use — LOAN UNITS TO PAY $1,312,164 DIVIDENDS 16 Washington Associations Here to Make Semi-Annual Pay- ments This Month.

POLICE SEIZE FV INOPIUM DENRAID Treasury Men Aid Arrests and Confiscation of Narcotics. An elaborately-furnished opium den in the 1600 block of Twelfth street, understood to have been frequented by a “high-class” clientele as well as colored persons, yielded five prisoners and a quantity of narcotics last night in a raid by Treasury agents and Metropolitan police. The establishment was located in the same building in which Gorman Wright, colored, was shot to death and Victor Juliano wounded last Monday night in a fight with Harry James, colored, over a bet. Patrons Fashionably Dressed. Attracted by a variety of drugs, soft music ar. i service by colored hostesses, fashionably dressed men and women were seen entering the house while it was under surveillance, police said. ‘Those arrested, however, are all col- ored.

District Court had decided the case in favor of the mediation board. Before an election in 1935 to de- termine whether the Order of Railway Conductors or the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen should represent the conductors, the board ruled that only regular conductors and regular substitute conductors may vote. The Order of Railway Conductors was elected as bargaining representative and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen appealed to District Court, claiming emergency conducters usually | o I'\II"A (STORES CO | AwINL NV Christmas employed as workmen should have been allowed to vote. . Without determining this question, the Court of Appeals said that the board had not obtained sufficient evi- dence on which to base its decision, and that a further and more com- plete hearing should be held.
