The aid of Senator Watson, Indiana.
IN behalf of the plan, was enlisted last
September by Director L. w. McKen-

in charge Of the bureau dispensary
and was seeking reinstatement.
After calling at the senator's office |
and leaving with his secretary the de- |

wrote Senator Watson under date Of |
September 21, explaining that the re-
quest "was not an unselfish one," Mr..
Hill having expressed a desire for
my service in the event of his ap-
pointment."
"You undoubtedly are aware" he
wrote, that the Bureau of Engraving

may be floating panels, side sklrt-drapes

perhaps roses of self fabric, hand
