Woman Re uentatlv Tires of " Public hfe, Longs to Have Home Mrs, Pearl Peden Oldfield Grieves for Husband— Believes Her -Sex Still Motherly. Washington, May 29 UP—Mrs. Pearl Peden Oldfield, representative from Arkansas, and the widow of Willism A. Oldfield, the former dem- ocratie whip, today declared that “ynder no circumstances” would she peturn to congress after her present term expires. Still Grieves For Husband 8he has found active public. life no anodyne for her grief over ihe loss of her husband, she said, and although she will carry on for the remainder of her two year term, which follows her election to fill the unexpired term of her late husband, she will do so simply in the spirit of “taking care of things” for her husband. Then she will gladly re- tire to the sphere in Which ahe be- lieves woman belongs—her home. “I came back to the office to look after things before anyone was here to keep things going,” she said, re- ferring to her election to fill out her husband's term, “and 1 accepted the nomination believing I should serve only a few weeks. Before the spe- clal election I announced my old- fashioned belief about women ani the home, and that belief I atill hold.” Then Mrs. Oldfield observed that in fact she has no home to which to retire. For 21 years she lived in Washington with her husband, re- turning to their home in Batesville, Arkansas, for occasional visits until 12 years ago, when her elderly mother came to live with them. Bince then she has not been willing to leave her mother alone—and a few years ago the home in Batesville was destroyed by fire, Plans to Buy Home Probably, she said, she will es- tablish a home for herself and her mother In Kansas City, when she re- tires, and there they wi' he near her brother and his suu and daugh- ter. These children, she said, are one of the few vital personal interests she poasesses. She pointed to a pho- tograph of a battleship hanging in her office—the cruiser to which her nephew was attached last June when he graduated at Annapolls. He will be at home in Kansas City during leaves, she said, and the niece will be with them during col- lege vacations. Byt despite her personal distaste for public life, Mrs, Oldfield has es- tablished a record for. faithfulness on the job. She has never been ab- sent from a session of the house. Blight of figure, grey-eyed, her hair tinged slightly with gray and in- variably dressed in black with a string of pearls at her throat, she is always to be found in her office @uring the morning. 'L suppose I take everything seri- oualy,” she explained. Attends Every Conferenve 8he has attended every conference ot her state delegation and she has given up all duties in the apartment she shares with her mother—though formerly she found trying out new recipes ‘“entirely delightful.” ‘When she was new in the capital, she said, she found the social life interesting, but later she spent most of her evenings at home. Since she has been a member of the house, she has given many evenings to studying the Congressional Record, Which she reads from cover to cover. “But when the house recessed, before the special session,” she add- ed, “I took another kind of recess =TI went to a newsstand and stock- ed with every woman's magazine 1 could find. I'm looking forward to reading them again when the ses- slon iw» over.” Before her husband's death, she sald, she considered adopting a ¢hild, but she has given up this plan and will devote herself after niece GARAGE BOARD SECRETARY MAY GET $100 INCREASE Chairman Kenney Tells Salary Com- mittee Bell Has Shown Keen Interest in Duties Chairman Walter J. Kenney of the municipal garage commission appeared before the common council committee on salaries last night in support of a recommendation that the salary of Secretary Walter L. Bell of the commission be increased from $250 to $350 per year, and the committee voted unanimously to recommend that the increase be granted. Chairman Kenney said the records kept by Becretary Bell were very complete and detailed, enabling the various city departments to learn at any time the exact cost per mile of running their vehicles. The secre- tary is very painstaking about his work and is intensely interested in the affairs of the garage, having been on the commission for several years, Chairman Kenney said. Asked why the recommendation was not made last December, when numerous petitions for salary ad- justments were acted upon, Chair- man Kenney said the commission was unable to learn whether it was necessary to go to the common council for the increase, or whether the commission had the power to make the increase. To show the in. crease in the duties of the secre- taryship, Chairman Kenney pointed out that there were formerly 18 automobiles, and two motorcycles at the garage, in charge of one me- chanic, but now there are 39 auto- mobiles, four motorcycles and two mechanics. Alderman P. J. Pajewski presided at the meeting and other members present were Councilmen W. F. Huber, C. O. Holt, Samuel Sablotsky, W. O. Willametz. It was the first meeting of the new salary com- mittee. 666 is & Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue.

New York, May 29 (P—Georges Carpentier, once idol of French boxing fans, is back in this country ~——perhaps to fight, perhaps to do some mnvlnl picture work. “Gorgeous Georges’ doesn't say that he will enter the ring. He con- tents himself with declaring that if there is any easy money in sight along that line he will be glad to take advantage of any offers that may come his way Although admit- ting that he is no longer as good as he once was eight years ago when he was knocked out by Jack Demp- sey, Carpentier named over the cur- rent candidates for the heavyweight crown and couldn't see why he wouldn't have a chance with any of them. The Frenchman, however, has no desire to meet Dommy again. He revealed as much when informed that there were rumers that Jack might try another come- back campaign. It he fails to do anything in the fighting line, Carpentier hopes to be able to sign a movie contract.
