President Hoover, fulfilling his cam- paign pledge to the farmers of the gountry, has called an extra session of Congress for the purpose of passing legisiation necessary to bring agriculture | up to par with the other industries. “Personally, I have no doubt that he | will put the strength of his administra- tion back of that other important task | oi relieving the distress in the coal | mines and adjusting equitably all con- ditions of transportation, labor and production. Both the agricultural and the coal production problems involve the handling of surpluses, and they are most difficuit because of the intricate economics related to them. How much vernment enterprise is justified in ping to solve them presents a deli- *cate_question. “What we need most today in Amer- fca is a change of attitude of the aver- age citizen's mind toward the important tative-elect Ruth Hanna Represent Ruth Bryan Owen, as they spoke over WMAL last night.

Thus, we are learn- g that it is functioning most efficlent- y for our benefit. The more we learn sbout it the more respect we will have for it and the greater will be our desire to be a part of it by serving it. Government Is Explained. “We all agree that we have the great- st country in the world and we have ,some conception of the vast and com- licated machinery of government that required to make the great corpora- tion function. We have learned in #chool that there are three branches of {he Government: the executive, the ju- |icial and the legisiative. We know ®lso that there are 10 departments of the Federal Government, the heads of (which form the President’s cabinet. ‘The average American citizen, however, knows little of the multitude of bureaus ‘which go to make up each of these de- partments, and he knows less of the work which is being carried on within these small bureau units which directly affects the everyday life of every Ame ican citizen. These bureaus and com- missions are constantly. searching at| home and abroad for facts which will enable the people of the country to en- Joy more comfort, more security and, in | superintendent of documents, he printer is the most prolific publisher in | the world. He directs an output of | more than 100,000,000 copies of publica- | tions each- year. In the office of the' oper- ates the greatest bookstore in the world, and the only known bookstore where everything is sold at cost. ‘The Govern- ment employs thousands of scientists who are engaged continuously in mak. ing researches in all branches of house- hold economy, agriculture, in geology, in electricity, in chemistry, in astrono- my, in engineering, in aviation, in pre- | ventive medicine, in forestry, in' irriga- | tion, in shipping and railroad problems, in trade and manufactures. Experts Are Five Cents Away. “We, as a people, are slow to realize that so great a number of experts on such @ variety of subjects are only, s0 to speak, 5 cents away. Recently the demands on the superintendent of docu- ments have Increased tremendously, which not only shows that more of us are becoming aware of this service, but | that more of us are seeking expert ad. vice our daily life. It also show: that more of us are becoming conscious of our Government, and that, as a peo- ple, we are using it as our forefathers intended we should when they founded | the Government. Last year this bureau distributed 63,601,277 coples of Govern- ment publications, which were either | furnished free to the public by direc- | tion of the respective departments, or sold at a nominal price. During the the end, more prosperity. “We sometimes have a feeling of re- sentment toward our Government, par- ticularly at the time of the year when ‘we pay our Federal taxes, although it is not the Federal taxes which we feel, but the State taxes, which are now be- burdensome. At such times we ;are thinking only of our Gowernment as the power that levies the taxes, pro- |vides for the common defense, super- vises transportation and commerce, i makes laws, some of which we approve or disapprove, and provides for their enforcement. We also realize that this finally, does big business in a big way. “In trying to visualize the immensity 1of our Government business, we are liable to overlook the innumerable lit- /tle services that Uncle Sam stands ready to perform for us as individusls. We ' have seen our Government send 2,000,- | 000 men across seas to fight a war, but 1 wonder how many of us realize that a Government that is capable of such tremendous undertakings is also ready, and at the same time efficiently equip- ped, eager, and willing to tell young mothers how to bathe and feed the baby; or tell the country merchant how to keep his books; or to show anybody ‘who sends 5 cents to Washington how to make a first-class rat trap. ‘Work Is All-Embracing. “The Government has authorized the ‘construction of 15 new cruisers for the Navy. Those warships will be laid down as the finest battle crafts that can be produced by expert skill and the ex- gendllure of many millions of dollars. et the same Government that is build- ing a better Navy, undertaking the con- struction of Boulder Dam, fighting floods in the South, planning a great system of inland waterways and na- tional highways, and faithfully under- taking other economic national problems, still has time to tell the head of any American family how keep his basement dry. 1 wish I had the time and you had | ithe patience to listen to the achieve- | ments that are yearly being accom- plished in the various bureaus. This is impossible, so I shall confine myself to putting you in tpuch with but one bu- reau, which, after all, forms the direc- tory of information for those asking ad- il tatistics, or information fi the ARE _YOU MOVING?

But the figures are 50 large that they begin to lose significance after only & brief re- view. I would like to take you with me for a look at the biggest card index system I ever saw, in which we find perfectly classified the title, location on the shelves, and the price of 500,- 000 coples of publications. “I would like to show you the cafe- teria which is operated by an associa- tion of the empl more than 4.000 of them. They have & self-supporting restaurant whose income last year was $221,766.22. If the cooks in their kitchen read and follow the in- structions of the Department of Agri- culture on how to buy, prepare, cook and serve good things to eat, it is un- doubtedly the last word in excellence of taste and in the degree of nourish- ment. “At any rate, there is an admirable morale about the great plant and the visitor receives as prompt and courteous attention when he makes a personal call as does his letter asking for the best way to make cottage cheese or when to transplant his tomato plants. Outlines Books Available. “I am going to take the time to enumerate, just a few out of the thou- sands of publications that are available to us. Each week the public printer publishes a price list of his books and pamphlets that are about to be issued, indicating their character and listing them under their proper classifications, so that no time need be wasted. If you are interested in some specific subject, you find exactly how to make the re- quest of the department. I will run through a few of the lists, selecting items at random, and for clarity’s sake I will name only those for which the cost to you is 5 cents. In the farm management list I see a pamphlet for sale to those who would like to know how to build chimneys and fireplaces in the old farm house. In the Children’s Bureau leafiet there is listed a publi- cation on how to make rompers and another on how to arrange games for children in organized play, which would be useful not only to mothers living in suburbs, but in all small com- munities where sometimes we find diffi- chief. Here is a pamphlet on school lunches. What a joy to the mother in the rural communities who prepares her children’s lunches to be taken to the school house. Another on how to clothe, bathe and feed the baby. “As each year rolls by, we are learn- ing more and more the vital importance to child development in the sclentific |Concrete Ready Mixed Delivered to your work fin Transit Mixer Truck saves you Time, Worry, your work. | Try Our Concrete Delivery Service Maloney Paving Company, Inc.

Oysters get considerable attention here and for 5 cents you may discover how to propagate the oyster artificially. Another pamphlet tells how to ship them, and still another one gives detailed information on “Oysters, an Important Health Food.” This is of particular interest in the Middle West, where we need more iodine in our food ration. This pamphlet also includes 98 recipes showing that the Government knows more than we do bout how many ways there are to; serve and eat an oyster. Advice for Home Builders. “In ‘Suburbanites and Home Builders’ | I find & work on home baking, includ- ing recipes for bread, cake, rolls, etc. There_are others on ‘First Al ‘Duck Raising.’ “Dressmaking,’ ‘Drainage.’ ‘How to Make a Fireless Cooker,’ ‘Fire Pre- vention,’ ‘How to Improve the Hot Air Purnace.’ ‘How to Own Your Own Home' and one on how to select and care for shoes. Under forestry the public printer offers a pamphlet on ‘Tree Surgery’ and another on ‘Planting and Care pf. Street Trees.' There is nothing more heart- breaking than to watch the decay of | our favorite tree in the front.yard which is dying before our eyes for the lack of a little, and sometimes a: very little, intelligent surgery, which, after we are told how to do it, can be done so easlly and thus preserve the beauty and shade which it gives us during the Summer months. 3 “‘The Planting and Care of Street ‘Trees' is a pamphlet which will prove of great value to the civic organiza- tions in all our suburban cities inter- ested in the preserving of the trees on the streets which add so much to the attractiveness of the citles and which will year by year become less beautiful because we do not understand that the; require a different treatment from those trees more protected in our yards and woods. Under ‘Birds and Wiid Ani. mals’ we find that for 5 cents wé can learn how to make and operate & beaver trap, how to bulld birdhouses, how to operate a blue fox farm, what the farmer ought to know about hawks and owls. Also a booklet on squab raising and one on how to tan hides at home. As we make use of this department we open up new vistas in home indus- tries which will add pocket money to ! the housewife in rural communities and rrovlde endless ctive and de- ightful occupations to the thousands! of boys and girls who are seeking an | outlet for their energy and time during vacations. quitoes. Motorist Is Given: Help. “Under ‘Animal Industry’ the printer, our printer, offers to tell the farmer how to slaughter, cure and cut his own beef, how to make cheese and market it by parcel post, how to improve dairy | herds, and the most modern and scien- tific methods of feeding pigs and chickens. Under ‘Transportation’ the motorist s offered information on how | to adjust his headlights to eliminate glare and in another pamphlet he can find a -solution of his brake lining troubles. On ‘Food and Cooking’ the Government experts have a variety of subjects, from ‘Dresses for Little Girl’ to ‘Housecleaning Made Easler.’ There is an entire leaflet on ‘Lamb as You Like It and another on ‘Stmple Plumb- ing Repairs in the Home.’ The pam- phlet on the ‘Preservation of Vegetables by the Use of Salt’ is particularly val- uable now that we are learning that in order to remain healthy it is im- portant for us to eat more vegetables | L AL LLL L LI T7 77 727077012 g The Somerset 1801 16th St. N.W. 3 rooms and bath to 6 rooms and 2 baths Frigidaire Resident Manager, North 5§76 Wardman Management /\ 22T, | N Exerciser and Reducer GARAGES METAL 38 PORCHES REMODELED :: REPAIRED BUILT :: ENCLOSED 20 MONTHS TO PAY | REASONABLE PRICES WE REBUILD-REMODEL-REPAR ton, th.

Mrs. Owen alluded to her campaign experiences in pointing out that woman's place is not necessarily in a | home that is limited to the house she and her family occupy. “During the course uf my congres- | sional campaign there was a phrase| speeches of the opposition. This phrase was, ‘A woman's place is in the home.” agree that woman's place is in the | belleve we have come to set a different | limit to the home and have widened | those boundaries considerably during | the last few years. “There was a time when if a woman | kept the inside of her home clean and | sanitary she had done her duty by her family, but I believe that my home is the place where my family and my children live, and I find that my chil- | dren can move about in & space as big | as an automobile can travel In every | direction from the house I live in, and I believe that it is useless for me to | try to keep the inside of one house safe | and sanitary, if the town that I live in | ts‘ lnot a safe place for my boy or my | girl “I remember the first time that I| had a glimpse of this wider home.

We maintain a permanent organization of mechanics thoroughly qualified and experienced in every class of work, and we are ready at a moment’s notice to completely re- condition your home from cellar to roof, attending to every detail within our own organization, thus saving you the time, annoyance, as well as the added expense of individual contractors. OUR EASY PAYMENT OR FINANCE PLAN Tt is always cheaper (yet frequently not convenient) to have all necessary work done at one time. \When placing your order with us no ready cash is required. You simply request us to inspect the property and submit an estimate showing the complete cost for putting your property in per- fect condition. When this is done you authorize us to pro- ceed with such items as you feel should be given immediate attention. Terms of payment will be arranged to suit your convenience. The price is exactly the same whether you pay cash or distribute the cost over a period of months (the only differ- ence being a carrying charge of 6% per annum on the de- ferred payments). We do not sell your account to a financial corporation, but hold it here, and all payments are made direct to us, thus relieving you of every embarrassment, as well as the added cost so frequently required in the way of finance fees, etc. We have been serving the property owners of Washing- ton for eighty years, and if we are not personally known to you we take pleasure in referring you to any bank, trust company or building association in the city, as to our reliability and financial responsibility.
