Over-the-Air Tuesday, September 13th,— 9:45 p.m. Auspices Barristers Club Speaker—Robert R. Troyer --- Racing railroad trains to highway crossings may be great sport to some motorists, but it is a crime in the eyes of Nebraska state laws, and punishable in some cases by heavy fine or penitentiary sentence. Robert R. Troyer, Douglas County Public Defender, discussed this and other forms of crime in automobile driving when he spoke Tuesday night over radio station KOIL at Council! Bluffs. The talk was sponsored by the Barristers Club of Omaha, and was one of a series on various phas es of law. “Criminal law entered into almost every one of the more than a million serious automobile accidents whSch occurred in the I nited States during the last year,” Mr. Traynor declared. Drivers who would not knowingly commit other forms of crime some times so forget themselves in auto mobile accidents that they make themselves liable to heavy fines or penitentiary terms.” Mr. Traynor discussed various other phases of criminal law as ap plied to automobile driving, including statutes relating to reckless driving, racing railroad trains to highway crossings, driving while intoxicated, and passing other cars on the crest of a hill. 0---o FIFTY NEWSBOYS TO DELIVER The OMAHA GUIDE TO YOUR DOOR Another Victory (or The Omaha Guide 0-0 3 Receive Appointments O-o MISS MATTIE CHILDS MRS.

I American Women Ban Foreign Plan w Qf Washing All Clothes Together r 1 — | *//v Buugaas.1^' It Is difficult to believe, but through out the world, excepting in America towns use rivers, ponds and even canals as community "washtubs." Jn Italy, for instance, it is not at all unusual to see fifty to one hundreo housewives gathered at a river’s edge, or at a public pool, soaping garment* and rinsing the possessions of the vari ous families together. The gathering* take on a festive nature as the women chatter over doing the week’s laundry In the common water supply whicn nature has furnished. The practice 1* repeated in France, and In various other sections of the globe. The canals of Holland, picturesque though they may be. also are put to practical use by housewives who think nothing of swishing the family linens and garments elbow-to-elbow with their neighbors. Even the semi-savage natives of Africa, In cases where they have adopted the civilized practice of clothes-washlng, make It an occasion for sociability by Joining their fellow villagers at the water’s edge. "Undoubtedly pioneer American women resorted to the same practice, but only until the men could evolve 'Dutch WhsHtub" rough tubs for the Individual fam ilies,” said Joseph R. Bohnen, secre tary of the American Washing Machine manufacturers’ association. "Washing machines were evolved sufficiently tar back In the past to make washday Increasingly easy for the housewife. They continue to give her full oppor tunity to serve her fastidious tastes by utterly avoiding any such practices as these which persist in the rest of the world." NEARLY THREE MILLION NEGRO FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES Washington—(CNS)—'The Bureau of the Census has just announced the total number of families in the United States as 29,904,663 of which 2,803,756 are classified as Negro families. The tenure of homes was also included in the announcement. The term “fam ily” as used in the tabulation is lim ited in the main to what might be called private families and in census usage is defined as a group of pet sons, who live together as one house hold, usually sharing the same table. The classification of families by color and nativity is determined by the color and nativity of the head of the family. In April, 1930, 89.3 per cent of the j families in the United States were white. 9.4 percent, Negro; and 1.3 percent of other races. The distribu tion of families in the United States by color and nativity of head, togeth er with the total population similarly classified is shown in the following table: Since a home is defined as the liv ing quarters ccupied by a family, the number of homes is always the same as the number of families. In classi fication by tenure, a home is counted as owned if it is owned wholly or in part by any related member of the family. A home owned by a lodger, however, is counted as rented. Of all homes returned in the 1930 census, 14,002.074 or 46.8 percent were owned and 15,319,817, or 51.2 percent were rented, while for 1.9 percent the ten ure was not reported. Of Negro homes, 669,645, or 23.9 percent were owned; and 2,050,217 or 73.1 percent were rented, while for 83,894 or approximately 3.0 percent tenure was not reported. For the white families 49.5 percent owned their homes, 48.7 percent were ten ants and tenure was not reported on 1.8 percent of these homes.
