MRS, HOOVERHOLD RECEPTION TO DAR. First Lady Wears Her Fa- mous Cotton Gown to Re- ceive at White House. Mrs. Hoover yesterday received in the | blue room of the White House delegates to the Forty-first Annual Continental | Society, | Congress - of the National Daughters of the American Revolution. ‘The customary pomp and ceremony of 8 formal evening reception at the Exec- utive Mansion prevailed. Spring flow- ers in abundance were used throughout the State rooms and the Marine Band Orchestra played as the long line of ‘women representative of every State in the Union and chapters in foreign countries passed to be greeted by the Pirst Lady. Wears Cotton Gown. Mrs. Hoover wore her famous cotton gown, fashioned of sprigged dimity, after a design taken from a portrait of her mother. The gown, which the First | Lady first wore at a State reception this Winter in honor of the chiefs of various divisions of the Federal bu- Teaus, is made with a fitted bodice with & deep fischu and a skirt of many ruf- fles. Carrying out the period of the gown, Mrs. Hoover had a black velvet bow caught,in her hair. Mrs. Hoover has led the movement to bring back popularity to gowns made of cotton. In the souvenir program of the break- fast given by the Congressional Club in honor of the First Lady, there was | a picture of Mrs. Hoover in ! gown | she wore at yesterday's recepiin Mrs. Hoover first received tiie Na- tional officers. Following her custom of other years, the First Lady ed the | pages of the congress to assist at yes- | terday’s party. The White House aides in full dress regalia also aided. Portraits of Interest. Of particular interest to the daugh- ters were the portraits of George and Martha Washington, which have re- cently been returned to the east room of the mansion. The portraits were originally hung there, but in a previous administration the pictures were moved to another room. The present mistress of the White House has taken a great interest in the arrangement and fur- nishings of the President’s House in early administrations and it is her aim to have the White House, as near as possible. look as it did in those early days. { After Mrs. Hoover received the last daughters, aides.and White House at- taches escorted the guests to the gmunds, that they might see the many looming shrubs and flowers planted by other mistresces of the White House. | Te MRl on o S CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

Mills Addressed Congress. With Secretary of the Treasury Mills as the principal speaker last night, Con- stitution Hall was filled to more than its usual evening attendance. To the organization which has been exceedingly | active for stronger national defense and a bigger fleet, Secretary Mills pointed anced budget in principle” there is a | strong opposition to each individual | economy proposed. For this reason he | urged the necessity of a unified and | consistent program. He made no men- | tion of specific items. | Secretary Mills asserted that of all problems contronting the country today, that of having the Government's finan- cial house put in order was the most vital, for if the Government's credit were brought into question, he said, recovery would be delayed indefinitely. He pronounced it absolutely imperative that both parties work together, shar- ing jointly “the responsibility and what- ever measure of unpopularity may come” with imposition of new tax burdens and reduction of governmental costs. “It is not too much to say that if each part of either the economy or the revenue program is considered separately and independently of the | programs as a whole, it is faced with th;d serious danger of defeat,” Mills said. Asks for Co-ordination. He expressed himself as confident of the enactment of a “reasonably sound and adequate tax measure” but said | that in the effort to reduce cost of Government there is at present “a vast degree of confusion, due in a large measure to a division of responsibility and of jurisdiction.” “To do away with the present cha- otic situation and to insure the attain- ment of prompt and definite results, it is essential that the various proposais | looking to economy should be combined | and co-ordinated,” he said. For this he prescribed the same recipe | that he maintained should have been, | and would eventually be, the course for the tax bill: “For the Treasury De- | partment and members of the commit- tees in charge of the drafting and prep- aration of the revenue bill to sit around the table in a spirit of complete non- partisanship ami willing co-operation with a view to producing the best pos- sible bill that can be written under most difficult and trying conditions.” Declaring the real problem today “the restoration of confidence,” Mills said, “the very forefront of the pro- gram is the Government’s undertaking to put its own financial house in order.” “If the Government’s credit can ever be brought into question, such a blow will have been dealt to confidence and‘ hope that this depression, with all that it spells in terms of human misery and suffering, must be indefinitely pro- longed.” he said. Mrs. Rigdon Submits Report. ‘The liberty loan fund. a permanent fund amounting to $100,000 raised dur- ing the period of the World War, is invested in notes, secured by Consti- tution Hall, Mrs. Harriet Vaughn Rig- don, chairman, re orted to the congress. She said: “On_April 1, 1931, there was a balance of $4.646.45 in the accrued interest. to which had been added $4.250, making a total of $8,896.45. “From this amount pensions amount- | ing to $4,720 have been paid to seven Real Daughters and 10 Spanish-Ameri- can War nurses. Three huncred dol- lars was contributed to the tubercular sufferers in Fort Bayard, N. Mex., and $400 transferred to the Caroline E. Holt scholarship fund, leaving a balance in the accrued interest of $3,476.45. Mrs. John Triggs Moss, chairman of the national committee on ‘“National Old Trails.” stressed the success of the work of this group and pointed out it was the inspiration of this committee organized in 1911 that awakened in- terest in locating, exploiting and adver- tising old historic roads, and the com- mittee has become of national im- portance. Today this “National Oid Trails Road,” conceived by George ‘Washington and following civilization westward under various acts of Con- | gress, and sponsored as a national memorial for the last 21 years by tho D. A.

Tke group also objected to circulation of misinformaticn that the climate of Washington is uncomfortably hot, pointing out that the all round climatic conditions of the Capital are above the average. These reports, the fed- eration asserted, are being put forth with the object of preventing local resi- dents from visiting the District and spending their money here. Dr. Charles A. Hart, professor of philosophy at Catholic University, was the guest speaker at the meeting of the federation ~yesterday. He discussed “Faith and Business.” Will Rogers Says: HOLLYWOOD, Calif. —Did you read that Senate Wall Street inves- tigation? The Senate sent out and got a fellow named Gray.
