~ " TRIBUTE RENDERED | - WSS MARY GWYNN Plaque in Memory of Pioneer Child Welfare Worker Unveiled at Center. | With simple and impressive oere- | miony, & marble plaque mounted in | bronze was unveiled yesterday at the , Mary Gwynn Center of the Child Wel- fare Society at Children's Hospital, in memory of Miss Mary Gwynn, founder | of child welfare work in the National Capital. The ceremony celebrated com- pletion of a foundation of $100,000, ralsed by the society for support of the center. Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, honorary presi- dent of the society. unvelled the tablet, and paid tribute to Miss Gwynn, the workers who had helped to raise the funds and to the “generous co-operation of the Childre: Hospital.” The plaque was accepted on behll!! of the hospital by Cuno H. Rudolph, | president of the hospital board of di- Tectors. Tribute was paid Miss Gwyn by Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke, president of the board of lady visitors of the hospital, and a member of the Child ‘Welfare Society board. Scripture reading and prayers were offered by Rev. Dr. Edward Slater Dunlop, canon of the National Cathedral. Reviews Growth of Mevement, Mrs. Noyes in her address said: | “Through the generosity of many | friends. who believe that our slogen, “keep the well child well’ is the foun- dation for health in the coming gen- eration, it is possible to unveil today this memorial to one who had the vision to establish the first Child Welfare Cen- ter in the Nation's Capital. Little by little the importance of the work was impressed upon the public and upon Congress and small appropriations were granted. Combined with voluntary-sub- geriptions. inspired by the zeal and un- tiring devotion of the leader and a board of able women, the work grew. *Following her death. after serious deliberation and_consultation with a director of the Russell Sage Founda- tion, it was determined to sever the Federal appropriations and establish with it various centers throughout the city under the District Health Office and with our private funds to develop an ideal center’ with a foundation to earry on the work. “Through the generous co-operation of the Children’s Hospitgl, this has been at least partly accomplished. To- day we have over 11,000 children reg- istered in this one center. ““Through careful examination and Advice, health is often restored without medicine or surgery. In case of phys- ical defects requiring such aid, we are ideally situated to discover and turn “them over to the proper medical care, thus preventing in every possible way the tiny stream of disease becoming a turgid river of ill health. I believe this hospital for children can and should be the finest in America and the people, Tot only of Washington but throughout the country, should look to it as an ideal. In spite of our ever-increasing expense we have carried on our special branch of service without aid from the hespital funds—so greatly needed else- ‘where. I believe they are proudof us @8 allies and we know how much we owe to them. “This foundation of $100,000 gener- ously given during the past years is now completed and as we draw the veil from the tablet I hope the eyes of F, ds of little children may look it with love and gratitude and . somehow Mary Gwynn knows and ‘understands.” Mrs. Noyes' address was for her by Mrs. _Anson , Phelps es. Rudolph Accepts Plague as Tribute, - | Mr. Rudolph accepted the plaque onl behalf of the board of directors, Seelll’- ing it was a fitting tribute to the “won- «derful work done by this wonderful woman.” He praised officials of the hospital-and child welfare center as he Antroduced them to the gathering: Miss Mattie M. Gibson. superintendent of the hospital; Dr. E. B. Brooks, di- Téctor of the center: Miss Caroline Sweeney, supervisor of the center; Dr. Robert Bler, visiting physician to the center; Dr. P. A. McClendon, director of outpatient activities, who could not beé present. Paying personal tribute to Miss Gwynn, Mrs. Brooke said: “As & long- time member of Miss Gwynn's commit- tee, I have been accorded the privilege of reminiscing for & moment about the days when her wonderful work was i ‘the making, and when the round table' discussions which took place every fort- night in her home were the beginning '0f the work for children which has now grown into such an fmportant District Pprogram. “From the moment one was wel- comed at her door by her kindly maid, one sensed the unselfish thought and devotion being given by her to the child ‘welfare work, and as new idea after npw idea was developed, I often had the Zeeling that these plans and projects of her heart and brain were alive as Af they had taken the form rl‘dedic&wfl human lives. “Remember that all this work was Recomplished in the dear old-fashioned ‘way, when no one was chosen for effi- clency and when the board meetings ‘were gatherings of friends, and yet as @ result of this planning, there are to- day 13 health centers in the District of Columbia and over 1.000 bables pass through this welfare station in & month. Remembers Miss Gwynn as Saint. “Does this not prove to us that if we loyally hope and plan for a good pur- pose miracles can still happen, and that uncrowned saints can still exist? For 4n our loving memories, I think we have the right to remember Miss Mary Gwynn as the children's saint of ‘Washington.” The plaque itself ‘is the memorial Airst set up at the Mary Gwynn Center which originated at Twentieth and G streets. It was replaced with appro- Ppriate ceremonies on the south wall of the Child Welfare Center yesterday at hoon. An inscription on the stone, and lined with colors of gold, reads: “This memorial is given to perpetuate the life | work and undying influence of Mary Gwynn, the founder of child welfare in Washington.” Following the formal occssion, Mrs. Noyes, as a member of the board of di- | Yectors of the hospital, stated she felt that the time would come eventuall when all indigent cases should be cared for at Gallinger Hospital, which is not Jet adequately equipped to care for them. and that Children’s Hospital then would have an increase in both full Pay and part pay patients to help sup- port it. The budget allowance for care of indigents at Children’s Hospital, £he explained, is never sufficient to uul for the indigent case load, and at the end of the year a deficit must always be _met Tize ceremonies yesterday took place on what is known as “Innocents’ day. ‘The $100,000 foundation for the child welfare center provides $6.000 a Jear for support of the work. The re- mainder of the funds ne for the Jyear's operation, about $4,000 year, fomes from the Community Chest. —_— Dublin to Have Reserves, ‘Recruiting for the 1st Dublin Bat- falion of the Irish Pree State Volunteer rve has been started and the authorities report that the number and t: of reeruits are highly encouraging.

By the Associated Press. Hurrying to completion the $30,000,000 corporation for co-operative marketing of cotton, the wers’ subcommittee on charter and by-laws was ready last night to turn its final draft over to legal authorities, Counsel for the growers and the Fed- eral Farm Board will determine wheth- er the draft is at variance with any point of law and send it back to the subcommittee before it is presented to the board. If approved all around, the draft will be submitted to the national organization committee at Memphis, Tenn., and it will proceed with the in- corporation if satisfied. Difference Is Explained. Carl Willlams, cotton’s representative on the Farm Board, interpreted the draft last night as differing from the grain corporation in that loeak co- operatives will not be allowed to buy outright from their members. In the lan. of the $1,000,000 North Pacific rain Growers’ Co-operative Associa- tion, farmers can sell on a cash basis to their local co-operative, taking the day’s price prevailing at the time of delivery. “State laws,” Williams said, “prohibit such practice on the part of cotton co-, operatives. However, the ~individual farmer can sell on a spot market by de- livering his cotton to the central or- ganisation. “If he sells directly through his local co-operative, which turns the cotton over to the corporation for marketing, he has one of two choices. Either he accepts a certain per cent of the current cash value and allows his cotton to go into a seasonal pool to be sold at the discretion of the corporation, or he sells on an optional basis, taking a stipu- lated per cent of the value with the understanding that the remainder is to be paid, less storage charges, at whatever date he orders the cotton sold. Average Pool Price, “If he elects to use the seasonal pool he will receive, when the pool is closed, the average pool price for the cotton delivered, less a fixed local handling charge, plus other marketing expenses.” ‘Willlams indicated that the corpora- tion would prefer the farmer to sell on the pool basis, giving it a larger quan- tity with which to develop a bargaining power at terminal markets. Advances to the producer on pooled cotton, he said, might run as high as 90 per cent of the current cash value, whereas ad- vafices on optional cotton probably would average around 80 per cent. The generous advances, he said, would make cash sales the less desir- able of all, inasmuch as deferred sales, 1o be directed entirely by the corpora- tion, hold promise of higher prices through accumulated bargaining power, As outlined by Williams, the farmer, his local co-operative and the gentral sales agency would be the chief units of the national set-up. Regional and State co-operatives, which now are market- ing bodies and which already have been authorized by the farm board to borrow a total of $22,710,000 in supple- mental commodity loans and $750,000 in facility loans, would be relegated to the background, with a function little more than educational and advisory. ‘They are now distributing their loans to member organizations as requests are made and’ security advanced. After the. corporation has been established, all doans would be made through it with money borrowed from the Farm Board. Describing the fertile field {he cor- poration will have for development, ‘Williams said that of the some 2,000,000 farmers producing cotton, little more than 81,000 are now members of & co- operati; HOICE PIANDS FOR_ EN FREE TUNING UNDER RENTAL CONTRACT started at Portobello Barracks.

By the Associated Press. GILLETTE, Wyo., December 28.—A horse that stood three days beside the body of its dead master led to the dis- covery of a tragedy of the plains enact- ed Christmas eve, when Guy Burr, 28- year-old rancher, helj from an in- Jjury and far from aid, ended his life. Burr shot himself to death after his ankle had been crushed by the horse. A farewell message he had written in l}';)e dim light of his lantern told the ry: “My horse slipped and fell on my left ankle. I can't stand the pain. any longer. Good-by. Guy.” After penning the note Burr took his revolver from his holster, placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the er. Another rancher riding yesterday near the Burr home, 4 miles north of Rozet, saw the horse. He investigated and found the rancher dead. In one hand was his revolver and in the other the note—addressed to his mother, Mrs, W. H. Burr, Hastings, Nebr.
