FLANNER HOUSE, in its 45th year of “helping people to help themselves,” will dedicate its new one-story brick building at 16th uss Missouri sts. on Memorial Ve The services, startingatila.m,
will feature Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald fund of Chicago, as speaker, and Lt. Gov. Charles M. Dawson and
Mayor Tyndall as participants. Thomas D. Sheerin will -be chairman.
The site of the new building was purchased by the city and deeded to the community service organization for 99 years. Volun-~ teers, led by the Friends Work camp cleaned and scraped the bricks which formed the old encaustic tile plant on the site.
The new Flanner House, 16th and Missouri sts, was designed by the Negro architect, Hillyard Robinson of Washington. The first public byilding in the state without radiators or hot air vents, its steam pipes are imbedded in the concrete floors and thermostatically controlled.
Workmen ‘then used the bricks to follow the construction design of Hillyard Robinson, Negro architect of Washington. Flanner House extends services in nursery work, health, gardening, employment, vocational training and related fields. :
It was built from the old bricks of the encaustic tile plant which one was

by concrete or cinder paths. The one next door is about the fanciest. Its name is Piccadilly Palace, and it has a pretty sign over the door saying so. this hut the boys have built a real brick fireplace, with a mantel and everything, and it looks like a hunting lodge inside, In here is where the biggest poker game is usually going. A sign on the front of the hut says, “Poker Seats by Reservation Only.” On the other side of the door is another sign saying, “Robin Hood Slept Here” They put that up when they first came because somebody told them this station was in Sherwood Forest. They found out later they were a long way from Sherwood Forest but they left the sign up anyhow. That in general is how the boys live. They are warm, they are dry, they are clean, they are well fed. Their life is dangerous and not very romantic to them, and between missions they get homesick and sometimes bored. But even so they have a pretty good time with their live young spirits and they are grateful that they can live as well and have as much pleasure as they do have. For they know that anything good you get in wartime is just that much velvet.
How the Officers Live
FIRST T'LL try to tell you how the officers live. 1 stayed in the hut of my friends Lts, Lindsey Greene and Jack Arnold. There is usually a spare cot in any hut, for there is almost always one man away on leave, : This barracks is a curved steel Nissen hut, with doors and windows at each end but none along the § sides. The floor is bare concrete. Eight men live in # the hut. Three are pilots, the others bombardiers § and navigators. One is a captain, the others are lieutenants, The boys sleep on black steel cots with cheap mattresses. They have rough white sheets and army blankets. They are all wearing summer underwear now, and they sleep in it. When the last one goes } to bed he turns out the light and opens one door for { ventilation. Of course until the lights are out the i} hut has to be blacked out. 1 Each cot has a bed lamp rigged over it, with a shade made from an empty fruit-juice can. The boys have a few bureaus and tables they

WASHINGTON, May 20 —The house of represen= tatives’' lobbies and cloakrooms are somewhat gloomy with what might be termed “Democratic pre-election blues.” They are inspired by two fears. “ One, presumably common to » Democrats of all shades outside the solid South, is that President Roosevelt may not run again, This anxiety would not seem to be wellgrounded from all the prepara- ¥ tions that are going on to “draft” Mr. Roosevelt, but the ordinary rules don't apply to politicians who are a timorous lot.
