DOLE ROW REVIVED BY BRITISH CABINET Lloyd George's “New Deal” Pro- posal of Huge Public Works Program Considered. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 16.—An old con- troversy—dole vs. public works—was reopened today as the British cabinet began consideration of David Lloyd | George's “new deal.” A letter Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald sent to the little “Welsh wizard” acknowledged receipt of Lloyd George's voluminous exposition of his plan, and said: “The memorandum will have imme- diate and careful consideration, and before coming to any final conclusion on your plans, the government will certainly invite you to meet the com- mittee entrusted with their examina- tica.” Lloyd George proposes to eliminate much of the existing unemployment through huge public works and “back- to-the-land” movements, thus remov- ing the dole from major use and ac- tive national discussion. A number of fiery speeches contain- ing bitter attacks on the government had their effect. Lloyd George’s new deal for Eng- Jand was announced when the furore over the government's new nationali- zation plan for unemploymeat assist- ance was at its height. FASTEST CAR REQUEST TO BE MADE TO FORD Bon of Motor Magnate Due to Meet Daytona Beach Mayor Today. By the Associated Press. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, 16—Mayor E. H. Armstrong plans to ask Edsel Ford to build an automobile capable of bringing the world’s land speed record back to America.

Ford talked shop with the racing driver for 45 minutes, in- spected his racer, the Bluebird, and became one of the privileged few to sit in Bluebird’s cockpit. An appointment was made to see the mayor tomorrow when the plan for an American-built car to seek a new record over Daytona sands will be dis- cussed. Campbell has held the record since 1931. Woman A.ssailing Women Applauded By Women’s Club “They’re Acting Like Mugwumps,” Says Eti- quette Authority. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich, March 16— ‘Women applauded loudly today when a woman told them how little she thinks of women. The speaker was Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson, etiquette authority. The audience was the Women’s Advertising Club. “Women are getting uglier every day,” Mrs. Richardson said. “They diet until they look haggard and then they wear low-backed dresses which show the little chain of bones down their backs. I wonder how any of them ever got a man.” The speaker said that knitting was the principal occupation of women in the Middle West, with bridge second and book reviewing for women who haven't time to read, third. “I'm fed up with this cigarette smoking, toc,” she added. “It isn't the smoking I object to—but women are so darned rude about it. I'd like to go into the washroom on a Pullman just once and not find ashes all over the washbowl.” She paid her respects to Women's clubs with the observation that their principal worry is where to seat the past_presidents. “The trouble is-that all the mem- bers want to be president and after they’'ve been president they want to be honored as founders or what nots. “They act,” she concluded, “like a ot of umpty-up mugwumps.” < | career.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 16.—You may smile at “Absaroka,” bui it's possible your own State just escaped a monicker more droll. “Absaroka” is the designation ad- vanced for the latest candidate for the forty-ninth State. It would be pleced together from portions of South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. As early as 1784, American deep thinkers were bringing out a classical collection of cognomens for possible with cannibals. Four military and two commercial planes were ordered to keep up the hunt in the hope that the party may have landed in some clearing and still be alive. A native of Holland, Mme.

She married Renard in Paris VOCtuber 10, 1933, with Police Perfect | Jean Chiappe as witness.

Thomas Jefferson thought there should be nine States in the territory from which Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois were jigsawed.

But Chersonesus and the rest died a-borning and that was the fate of a host of other statehood proposals down to the present day.
