YOUTH SESSIONS
ATTENDED BY 1
Catholic Students Reiterate
Opposition to Atheism
and Communism.
Two hundred delegates from Catho
lic colleges and high schools of the
District participated yesterday in the
convention of the Catholic youth of
Washington, held at Georgetown Uni
versity.
The students reiterated their de
termination to resist communism and
atheism through radio programs and
parish group discussions and discussed
the Supreme Court reorganization
Issue, the child labor amendment,
sit-down strikes, co-operatives and
other topics.
The principal speakers were Rev.
Francis P. Le Buffe, S. J.. New York,
business manager of America and or
ganizer of the sodalites in the East
ern States, whose subject w'as “We
Do Not Always Act as Catholics,”
and Rev. George A. McDonald, S. J.,
St. Louis. Rev. Arthur J. O’Leary,
S. J., president of Georgetown Uni
versity. delivered the invocation.
Human Rights Defended.
Catholic youth, said Father Le
Bufle, both as Catholics and Amer
icans, is vitally interested in the
preservation of human rights under
the Constitution and should oppose
the child labor amendment on the
ground it would give the Federal Gov
ernment control in industry of all
Individuals under 18 years of age.
“All bills that make for centraliza
tion at Washington,” he said, “we
consider as un-American and they
should be opposed as such.
“We do not always act as Catholics :
because we do not have a Catholic
attitude. But first of all, what is an
attitude? It means the way a man
views things. It implies his judg
ments on life, on situations in life,
health, wealth, honor, on the moral
problems of life," Father Le Buffe
said.
Co-operative Advantages.
Father McDonald urged on the
group a study of the co-operative
movement and several factors he held
up as its advantages. He offered the
movement as the "Way Out of Our
Economic Ills,” the subject of his
address.
Since the National Sodality stu
dent convention in 1935, Father Mc
Donald said, "more than 35 uni
versities, colleges and high schools
have reported that there exist on the
__ campuses, study clubs, forums, sym
' posia, courses on co-operatives and
credit unions and in many instances
co-operative enterprises from co-op
erative buying clubs to co-operative
•tores, cafeterias and dormitories.”

MS TUESDAY
To Make Address at Rites
Marking 50th Anniversary
of Y. W. C. A. Home.
Mrs. Roosevelt is scheduled to make
a brief address at ceremonies honor
ing the founders and perpetuators
and celebrating the fiftieth anniver- j
sary of the founding of the Young
Women's Christian Home. 235 Second
street northeast, Tuesday afternoon.
Bishop James E. Freeman will deliver
the invocation.
A high light of the program, begin
ning at 4:30 o’clock, will be the un
veiling of three portraits, those of
Mrs. Mary G. Wilkinson, who founded
the home in 1887 and was its first
president; Miss Bessie R. Kibbey, who
in 1892 contributed her grandfather's
mansion at 311 C street as a new loca
tion for the home, and Mrs. Flora
M. Thompson, whose trust of $250.
000. left upon her death in 1931,
financed construction of the present
building.
A grandson, Edgar B. Laferty of
Los Angeles, who will attend the cere
monies at the invitation of the home's
Board of Trustees, will unveil the
portrait of Mrs. Wilkinson.
The home was founded when Mrs.
Wilkinson realized there was an
urgent need for an institution where
girls could live under protection and
care. The first Young Women’s
Christian Home was established when
Mrs. Wilkinson set aside two rooms
in her own home at 232 C street and
took in two girls following her daugh
ter’s death.
The two rooms were outgrown in
1890 and a house was rented at 404
Sixth street to make room for between
25 and 30 girls. Two years later Miss
Kibbey made her gift of the C street '
mansion. An addition was built in
1904 from a legacy left the home by
Mrs. Sophia Rhodes. Construction of
the present home was started in 1931.

“I am disposing of
$100,000 worth of Fine Furniture as
quickly as I possibly can ”
"Just ten days ago, when I came to Washington, I found
this situation at W. B. Moses & Co. Last Fall, the former
manager, in a panic at notices of manufacturers' price in
creases to take effect, bought thousands of dollars' worth
of furniture; in fact, overbought. Moses now have two
warehouses actually bulging with furniture. I'm turning
$100,000 worth of this furniture into cash as quickly as pos
sible. I do not claim that I have reduced it one-half. But
I do say that I've marked it at prices that should accom
plish the desired result. As you read the list below, remem
ber that this is some of the finest furniture made in America,
much of it from Grand Rapids, all of it MOSES' Furniture
. . . and that the name 'Moses' has stood for fine furniture
in Washington since 1861."
