FEDERATION WORK PRAISED ON RADID ., Mrs. Fred T. Dubois Says Body Speaks for Officially Silenced People. The Federation of Citizens’ Associa- tions was described as the voice of an officially silenced people by Mrs, Fred 'T. Dubois in a radio address over Sta- tion WMAL late yesterday afternoon. Explaining that the work of the fed- eration is guided chiefly by Dr. George C. Havenner, president, and an advisory council of eight members, Mrs. Dubois outlined the objects and jurisdiction of ‘he federation. Th! object of this federation,” she said, “is to obtain the expression of the general public sentiment upon mat- ters of special interest to all citizens of the District and to secure and make effective their united action. The juris- diction of the federation extends only to matters of special interest to the entire District and which require con- certed action. An association by join- ing the federation in no way llmlh its liberty of action on any subject.” The federation’s value has been rec- ognized, Mrs. Dubois pointed out, by the District Commissioners, who have sought its advice in framing the bud- get and in framing proposed legisla- tion. In its activities, Mrs. Dubois de- clared, the federation has one goal, *Faithful citizenship, through a worthy home membership, and a concerted movement to safeguard the health of the city; putting forth an earnest effort for the best in education, so that the youth may be guided into vocational effectiveness and a wise use of the leisure time that is the outcome of ater mass production t.hrough en- find mechanical inventions.” German Contracts Aid 125,000.

HOBBS ENDS U.S. SERVICE Father of Free Text Book Law Honored After 44 Years in Labor Department. Millard F. Hobbs of 1823 Ontario place, who is credited with having had the major role in the fight that put free text books in the public schools of the District, was retired from the Govern- ment service yesterday after continuous employment in the Labor Department since November, 1886. ‘The third oldest emplioye of the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics, Hobbs met with fellow workers in the Department of ! Labor Building, at 1712 G street and, to his surprise, was the central figure in an intimate ceremony, during which his chief took the opportunity to pay high tribute to the work of his career. Elaborate Radio Set as Gift. His associates presented an elaborate radio set to him. Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics, under whom Hobbs wurked as an examiner, asserted that “the poorer people of the District of Columbia are enjoying benefits today to the extent of thousands of dollars an- nually which they owe to the untiring energies of Mr. Hobbs, “No man did as much to put free text books in the public schools of the Dis- tflct as Millard F. Hobbs,” he said. “The fact of the business is that Hobbs, in connection with Paul Bowen, organ- ized the free text book movement and put it across, if not single-handed and alone, at least giving to it that energy and devotion without WUch it never would have been passed.” Mr. Stewart also pointed out that Hobbs wrote the draft Kor the bill, which was enacted into law, making the first Monday in September a lE'll holldly STAR, WASHINGTON, “This is not only probably the most l{gr!dl&ed holldly we have,” he said, t technically it is the only legal gen- eral holiday in the United States.” Hobbs began work on November 10, 1886, at $4 per day. Stewart described him as “a great trade unionist in the days when trade unionism was even less popular than it is now.” At the time of his appointment Hobbs was president of the Building Trades Council of the Dh!trlct of Columbia. “Perhaps his most significant accom- plishment has been through the division of union wage rates. His MVICP to the bureau has been genuine,” Mr. Stewart declared. LOOT WORTH $140 TAKEN Burglars Enter Home of Daniel| Cokinos and 16th St. Apartment. Burglars obtained loot valued at $140, including a watch, clothing, in a recent visit to the home of Daniel Cokinos, at 213 'H street northeast, Cokinos reported to police yesterday.
