AMANA COLONIES | OFFERED AS MODEL Inhabitants Believe Their Plan Best in U. S. Re- covery Drive. By the Associated Press. AMANA, Iows, July 29.—Contented and prosperous, the 1500 inhabitants of Amana which for 90 years plodded through a secluded communistic exist- ence, belleve their new co-operative capitalism offers a model for the Na- tion’s recovery drive. Forced from Communism by press of the fast-moving twentieth century, the seven tranquil villages owning 30,000 acres of rich prairie land abol- ished unemployment with a $1,500,000 industrial corporation. Starting their second year as a cor- poration, this month they went outside the colonies to employ more workers. Divided Work Praised. “What President Roosevelt is trying to do for the Nation under the national industrial recovery act, the Amana colonies have already accomplished,” Arthur Barlow, business manage, said today. “Work in the fields, shops and | mills has been divided so that every one has employment.” ‘The corporation will co-operate in the industrial recovery program, however, Barlow said, and a committee has been appointed to study its application to the colonies. The woolen mills, which conduct a nation-wide business, ran on one shift during the communistic regime. Now there are two 10 -hour shifts, which may be shortened under the recovery program, and a 50 per cent increase in production is reported. Scientific methods have been intro- duced in tilling the soil, and modern - dairy methods have brought an increase in that industry. A 100 per cent in- crease has been effected in the sale of baked goods. Machine and mill wright shops have expanded to serve outsiders. Receive Cash to Spend. ‘With each colonist a member of the < on, he now receives cash.to| spend as he desires. ! Only on Sunday is the old order preme. Then, in the traditional calico and black suits, the colonists become ¥brothers and sisters 2l1l.” ‘Mrs. Bertha M. Shambaugh, a stu- @dent of the colonies, recently said that in “solving her own problems” of com- bining commercial and capitalistic 4deals Amana “may turn pilot for an industrial world in search of saf¥: lanes to the shores of a better land of eco- momic and social justice.” SHENANDOAH HOTEL i IS SOLD AT AUCTION Martinsburg Hostelry Brings $60,- 000 for Investment of $600,000.

By the Associated Press. TANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif., July 20.—A tall woman with a crown of gray hair, alert blue seyes and easy carriage may be en these Summer mornings walking upon the sloping lawn which surrounds her campus hilltop home. She pauses for a talk with the garden- er, surveys the flowers, stoops to pat & handsome police dog. Perhaps there is a roomy knitting bag on her arm. Later she may take from it an unfinished sweater for a grandchild, and make the needles click busily as she chats with & visitor on the roof veranda, overlook- ing the placid waters of San Francisco Bay. To the casual observer, this middle- aged grandmother presents a picture of domestic tranquillity to set off a train of musings. What a change these re- cent peaceful months must be to Mrs. Herbert Hoover, after her career of ad- venture in many lands, peeping beneath the velvet surface of international in- trigue, moving in the brilliant circles of court and state functions, observing war and famine and history in the making from a ringside seat. Contrast Is Inaccurate. A pleasant picture of contrast, but, it happens, not an entirely true one. The fact which becomes promptly evi- dent in even a brief visit to the Hoover home is that life for the former Presi- dent’s wife goes on very much as before. For him, true, the new life is very different, and there is time now for recreation together. Often a picnic lunch is hastily stowed into their car and they are off to some scenic spot on | tary the skyline boulevard which threads its way among the pines overlooking the broad Pacific, or down the coast to the wooded ranch of the former President’s brother, Theodore Hoover, dean of the Stanford School of Engineering. Occa- sionally there is a camping trip, and whenever it is not strictly a men's party, Mrs. Hoover is her husband’s com- panion, scrambling about the rocks and taking pictures with her movie cam- era, while the casts for mountain trout. She is freed now of the vicarious strain of his tremendous respensibility. But in her desariment of activities in the rartnershin. which has been called “a Marrizge cf Exzecutives,” duties have not changed very much. Breakfast is at 8 in the Hoover house- hold, and its mistress is up long before that. Small breakfast parties are a Hoover custom on the Stanford campus, just as they were in Washington. T wards come arrangements for guests. the eternal house 's question of “what to have for dinner,” consultation with the small staff of servants, house- hold accounts, which Mrs. Hoover makes no secret of watching with particular care these days. supervising flowers for | the house, and the dozen and one other | things always lying in wait for a home | maker's moments. The mail is next, always a burden | to the famous. Hundreds of personal | begging letters come, and she shares| with a secretary the task of finding| laces to send them for help. The evitable avalanche of autograph re- quests follows, and worthy causes, seek- ing prestige of a name, press for at- tention. She is genuinely interested in many, 85 she is in the Girl Scouts. She en- tertained 200 Episcopalians recently and arranged for them to see slide pictures of the new National Cathe- dral at Washington. The Stanford Mothers’ Club gives its annual scholar- ship tea in the Hoover home and large public attendance never fails. Has Lighter Moments. | Sincerely serious in her support of | | social _welfare and cultural projects, | | Mrs. Hoover 1s sometimes far from | | serious herself. Friends say she can | switch to a joking vein with a twinkle in her eye, but a hardly perceptible change in her tone of voice. On one [luch occasion a young woman secre- was slow to detect the fun. “I'm afraid you'll think I have no lenss of humor,” she apologized aff ward. “Well, I though perhaps it was a little tired,” was the smlfll'll Teply. So_life moves on for the wife of the Nation's former Chief Executive. With her two sons and three grand- children, now living in SoutHern California, her many friends and ac- tivities, reading (biography and his- ’tnry interest her most), attending a | lecture or concert, making a home— | making changes in the hill-top house and belngl ready at & moment’s notice to drop her own plans for those of | her husband. it is busy and full as | always. And a look in her face says !she enjoys it, and is contented there. LAUREL BAND TO PLAY AT FIREMEN’S CARNIVAL Hyattsville Volunteers Will Open Fetes Tomorrow on How- ard Property.

C, JULY 30, 1933—PART O d Cafeteria Owner Finds Some Patrons Are “Finicky” Prank Bond, 3127 Newark street, shown standing beside the bird bath ia his bird sanctuary. The blue jay is “finicky” about his food; the nuthatch is a hoarder; the song sparrow is unreasonable and pug- nacious; the grackle doesn't like his bread crumbs dry, 50 he soaks them in water before he eats them—— - Sounds like the gossip columnist of | Birdville getting in a few cracks about his neighbors, but it's only a few of the things a mere mortal has learned about feathered folk in his 28 years of oper- ating a “bird cafeteria” on his “jungle lot” at Newark street and old Reno road in Cleveland Park. Frank Bond, chief of the United States Board, established the bird sanctuary 23 years ago." One of the fruits of his experiment is a little book of bird anecdotes, “My Bird Boarders,” and besides those published, the fancier can tell a lot more. The cafeteria is in operation all the year 'round. To motorists or pedes- triane, passing by, it may not appear an exceptionally formal establishment. Mr. Bond has endeavored to preserve its na- tural aspect. He has not cluttered the land with furniture. On the contrary, the feeding afrangements consist of only a few rings of stones laid out on the ground, a sianted table and a made- to-order drinking and bathing pool equipped with a kerosene lamp for use lt:-‘ Winter to prevent the water from eexing. As to menu, Mr. Bond says “most of the bird patrons, fortunately, appear to be satisfied with what is always available, and while these offe! are not in uncommon variety, the certainty of a palatable supply of each is most attractive. Broadly speaking, the pat- ronage is confined to two large groups strong conical bills, like the cardinal and the song sparrow, and the insect r Staff Photo. and the woodpeckers. In addition to | these larger groups, a number of species whose natural food includes almost everything edible found in the forest or on the meadows, regularly visit the cafeteria. These include the jays, nut- hatches, titmice and chickadees. But experience shows that the great ma- jority of the species which come to the "flN:dm learn to eat of everything offer . shrubs which annually contribute seeds |and fruits. Several species nest in the inclosure. Mr. Bond keeps the gate shut, so that the tenants may be un- disturbed. His home is B8CToss the street, and from that point of vantage he can keep watch over the welfare of his feathered friends. Mrs. | Bond is his assistant.
