mission, it developed today.
Appointment Opposed
Consideration Of the, name OF
Miss Smith for the post made va
cant by the death OF Mrs. Helen
II. Gardener has progressed to the
point where In official circles her
appointment has been forecast, but
thu opposition today redoubled its
Efforts to block her choice by Pres;-
dent Coolidge.
1T was said at the White House
today that published reports that
Miss Smith had been tentatively
chosen for the Civil Service Com
miEeion. post were incorrect. 1t
was admitted that many profess
against her had. been received on
the score that she was La Fol-
lette supporter and a radical in her
political and economic activities.
Fought BY Democrats
Mrs. Virginia White Steel, presi-
dent OF the League of Republican
State Women. called at the White
House today to protest the appoint
ment of Miss Smith and to indorse
Miss Jessie Dell, Of Georgia, for
the post. Miss. Dell. who is
Democrat, and a present employee
of the Civil Service Commission, Is
supported by Senator Smoot. Gen
eral H. M. Lord, director of the
budget. Senator Mcclellan, and
others.
a number OF Democratic women,
however, are bitterly opposed to
her selection because of her activi-
ties with the National Women's
Party during the picketing OF the
White House in 1917. She is said
to have participated in exercises
in which President Wilson was
burned in effigy.

today.
Time and money, elements Of
vital interest to the employe, are
dealt with in detail IN the report,
which shows that street car fare

ordination of Effort Is Need

Coordination of effort among the
various social welfare agencies here
Is necessary if the work of these
groups Is to be successful. This was
the trend of thought as expressed by
representatives of Washington's news
papers at Il meeting of the Mon
day Evening Club in Grace Dodge
Hotel last night. The meeting had
tor its primary purpose the deviSing
of ways and means of increasing pub
lie understanding of social work.
Speakers were: j. +. Mcdonnell of the
Post, Louis \. Mcmahon of the Times
Herald. Willis Thornton Of the News
and Gideon a. Lyon of The Star.
Social welfare work is froWned upon
by large number of people, il
was pointed out, because of u lack
of knowledge of true conditions. To
counteract this opposition. Mr.. Nc
Donnell suggested that a central com
mittee be formed of the entire group
of agencies for the purpose of edu-
eating the public To the true worth
Of the movement. There are too many
organizations working for the same
end, resulting in overlapping and
duplication OF effort. it was said.
Mr.. Lyon declared there is no in
dividual atmosphere or point of view
here, where citizens are not only dis
franchized. but ''inVertehrate. lie

ing valuable factors in the community

ton would result in elimination of
petty jealousies and Implications. He
urged the need for welfare service
representation In the citizens asso-
Citations and the. Citizens Advisory
Council.
Newspapers should be taken into
confidence and regarded as friends
and neighbors, Mr.. Thornton said.
The press is not an impersonal
agency and should be relied on to
do the right thing, he declared, stat
ing that the papers are always willing
to aid worthy CAUSES. Establishment
