HILE some business houses have | seen expenses mount and in- come dwindle during the years of the great depression, there is one | group in Washington that has thrown away its red ink and is experiencing | a boom. ‘This is the quasi-public corporation known as the Welfare and Recreation Association of Public Buildings and Grounds, Inc., which operates news stands and cafeterias in Government buildings, as well as some 53 of the| 89 tennis courts, four large swimming pools, an 18-hole golf course, a tea house, located at Hains Point, in East Potomac Park, the Tourist Camp and a boating center, on the shores of the | Tidal Basin. The influx of thousands of Govern- ment workers under the New Deal has sent business skyrocketing for the association. ‘The purposes of the association, organized in World War days, as set forth in its articles of incorporation, include: To operate cafeterias and newsstands in Federal buildings for Federal employes; to render first aid in case of sicki and accident; to | assist Government employes in cases | | of emergency or distress along rec- | | ognized lines of welfare work; to con- | | | Before long contest-entering prob- ably will go on the vocational gui ance list and there may even be cor-| respondence schools on how to be successful contest enterer. * k% % REVERSE ENGLISH.

PITTSBURGH, May 21.—Gen. Ball- ington Booth, commander of the Vol- unteers of America, yesterday told the organization’s Grand Field Council that the growing number of “unem- ployed white-collar workers” is a new depression-born problem for charity workers. He urged special efforts to relieve the distress of middle~class workers “whose needs are kept obscure by their own pride.” Four new trustees were elected at the opening of the four-day session. ‘They are Col. J. H. Berry of Jackson- ville, Fla.; Col. Willam M. Hughes of Los An'elei James W. Merrell of New York and Col. Alexander Wright of San Francisco. i New directors are Col. Walter Dun- can of Boston and Col. J. T. Foulkes of Omaha.

Union between the congregations of the East and West Churches, Stirling, Scotland, which for over 300 years have worshiped under the same roof, but separated by a wall, was consum- mated in the West Church recently. Rev. J. Pitt Watson, Alloa, moderator of the Stirling and Dunhlane Presby- tery, presided and declared the union completed. Over 300 years ago, follow- ing a religious quarrel, Stiring town council divided the church by erect- ing a middle wall, and since then, there have been two congregations with_ministers of their own. 2 ROYAL ElectricVacuum Cleaners Both For 3950 REGULARLY $51.50 HousewAres, Firre FLOOR.
