The home makers and economics
sections met at the Bureau of Home
Economics Thursday, at which time
Wells A. Sherman, specialist in the
division of fruits and vegetables OF
the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics. talked on dealing direct with
the producer. The points which he
stressed were. that it cost the pro-
Queer as much to bring his goods TO
the retail market as it costs any one
else, that 1t takes more OF his tune
per dollars worth of goods than 1t
takes of the time of the storekeeper
and his clerks who handle wider
ranges of goods, and that the pro-
Queer who retails his goods usually
produces less than he would II ne
sold at wholesale. For all these rea-
sons the nearby producer cannot reg
ularly undersell the best organized
retail markets. However, the farm
ers' retail, markets should be main
tanned as check on city retail
prices.
The Wheel of Progress met at the
New Willard Hotel Wednesday eve
ming, at which the axle, Mrs. Mallie
Roberts Nichols, presided. After
prayer by the chaplain, Mrs. George
w. Kernodle, and the salute to the

garet Hopkins Worrell, introduced the
speaker of the evening, Charles !.
Stengle, former Representative from
New York, whom she eulogized for
his untiring work in behalf of Federal
employees while a member OF the
House, and his efforts in behalf of the
District which are even now bringing
forth good fruit
Mr.. Stengle's address was based on
the word equity" He began bY
showing that equity was nothing more
nor less than the golden rule, do
unto others as We would that they
should do unto YOU; that equity
meant Justice" giving to the other
fellow his part and taking the part
that was rightfully your own even
though the taking was by the mailed
fist of justice; that equity did not al
ways mean quieseense, 1T sometimes
meant a real fight. He concluded has
remarks by saying that the wheel OF
progress should be the vehicle 10
States, because the wheel upheld the
Constitution and upheld the flag which
is the symbol of equity and which
meant liberty and justice for all. Mrs.
Stengle was the guest of honor.
National Memorial Foundation
The monthly meeting of the board OF
directors was held in the headquar-
tiers, 1915 g street, on February z,
with Mrs. James Burbank. national
president, presiding. There was a
large attendance and the reports
showed a steady growth and constant
increase in attention from all sources
and financial support, each gift being
dedicated to some individual who has
served his country, or any one closely
associated with him, the money to
be used for the benefit of some living
service man, or his dependents, when
in hardship or in want.
Mrs. II. G. Barnes, chairman of
relief, told of the various cases which
have received assistance and the
quickness in which aid has been rem
dered. as that is the objective Of the
foundation, to relieve temporary
distress Immediately, without wait
ing for committee meetings to be
called before the case can be handled.
The president said sections had
been formed to commemorate the
memory of Mrs. Josephine Stanley
Holbrook, wife of Maj. Gen. Willard
Holbrook; Mrs. Evelyn Paddock Kerr,
wife of Gen. j. ID. Kerr, and Maj.
Gen. Theodore Schwan, all of whom
were workers for the foundation.
Remembering their keen interest in
forwarding the movement, and all
they had done on it's behalf individ-
ual groups Of friends have formed
three sections, honoring them as an
mperishable memorial, feeling that
work of this kind which will live
is far better to give than the fading
glory Of a flower.
