Women's Clubs to Give
'Prince of Peace'
Ten local women’s clubs will pre
sent the play, "Prince of Peace,” on
Thursday at 7:45 pm. in the Roose
velt High School Auditorium.
Hie play was written by a Wash
ington playwright, Mrs. Minnie Frost
Rands, 1430 Floral street N «V., as a
protest, against religious intolerance.
It is based on a study by Mrs. Rands
of political, economic and social con
ditions at the time of the birth of
Christ.
The drama covers a period of 90
years of Jewish history, covering the
early life of Jesus and his ancestry
on Mary’s side.
The following clubs are sponsoring
and producing the 10 episodes of the
story; District Federation of wom
en’s Clubs, Women’s City Club,
Washington Chapter of Hadassah,
Council of Jewish Women. Junior
Women’s Guild of Takoma Park,
Women’s Guild of Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church. Washington
branch of the National Sabbath Alli
ance, Takoma Park Women’s Club,
the W. C. T. U. and the Women’s
l Council of the Federation of
Churches.
Proceeds of the production will go
to the Community Center Depart
ment. An exhibit featuring the
Madame Mountford collection of
costumes from the Holy Land which
will be used in the play is now on
display in a show window of the
Palais Royal.

Tobacco growers of Japan num
bering 100,000 are being urged by
the Tokio government to raise be
tween the rows of their tobacco
plants other crops which may be used
to distill alcohol to be mixed with
gasoline.
Navajos Too Fond of Horses,
Livestock Industry Suffers
By the hnoclstedrms, i
The social eminence of the "horsey
set” among Navajo Indians is
troubling the Government.
Until the Indians get rid of some
40.000 horses, officials said, there is
little hope or improving range con
ditions and establishing the Navajos
In a productive livestock industry.
Tradition—the whole social struc
ture of the Navajos—Is against the
Indian Bureau.
II a Navajo hopes to "keep up
with the Joneses," he must acquire
—not a new automobile—but more
horses. Where white men count
wealth in silver, gold and Jewels,
the Nava joe measure theirs In
horses.
It matters not that the horses are
most Ill-kempt beasts who loaf away
their lives eating up grass that
might fatten mutton for market, of
ficials declared.
If an Indian has been blessed by
the horse god "Ba-Oo-Ohld-I" and
his range Is well stocked with horses,
he may distinguish himself with a
“horse” name. Roanhorte, Redhoras,
Whitehorse, Blackhorse and Pinto
are blueblood names in Navajoland.
Complicating the problem of clear
ing the range of idle horses is the
young bloods’ desire to have a good
stock of animals around while court
ing. A gifth of 10 or 12 horses often
makes it much easier for a mother
to part wttn her daughter. Some
brides, officials said, were won with
fancy gifts—40 horses or more.
Opposition to the bureau’s drive
to remove the horns also comes
from another source—the Indian’s
fondness for hone meat, which
they eat when short of mutton.
But Indian Commissioner John
Collier said he was "banking on the
younger generation” of Navajos.
"The younger, educated Navajos
are beginning to realise that a
worthless horse 1s not an asset, but
rather a liability threatening the
tribe’s economic security," he said.
Mr. Collier estimated the horses
now roaming the Navajo reservation
were eating enough grass to support
200,000 sheep.
At present, the average Navajo’s
income irom livestock is about W
annually. Fanning, rug making and
miscellaneous occupations bring his
total earnings for the year up to <
about $143. This income could be
raised by substituting productive
livestock for the horses and con
trolling grazing to allow the range
to re-establish itself. Commissioner
collier said.
Hitler Refuses Advice
Willie Hitler, bom in Liverpool,
England, now working in a brewery
In Berlin, asked his uncle, the Ger
man dictator. Adolph Hitler, for ad
vice and was told to stand on his
own feet and not to seek support or
influence anywhere.
