Lady Doria was discovered behind

Mrs. Frederick Brooke, wealthy so
cfety woman, her adventure over.
Tired OF Social Life
Two months ago Lady Doria ar.
rived from England, accompanied by
Miss Leonora Highet, her chum, and
went to the Frederick Brooke's sum
mer home at Buzzard Bay. She
tired OF the endless round Of social
affairs after a few weeks, and, to-
gether with Miss Highet, determined
TO see New York from the Inside, !"
she said.
The two girls rented SOS a month
apartment in Greenwich Village, and
then started a search for jobs just
like countless less favored girls do
when they find themselves alone in
New York. Lady Doria, of a radiant
personality, had little trouble getting
a SIS week saIesgirl position. while
Miss Highet was given a position as
interior decorator at $40 a week.
With a combined income of SIS
week the two girls managed to
live fairly comfortably. BY pre-
pairing their own meals, they were
able to witness an occasional Broad
way show and buy sweets and other
dainties so dear to the heart of
every girl, titled or untitled.
Then Comes the End
But 1t all came to an end yes.
terday. Some person, whose ident.
ity is unknown, tripped up to the
counter of the store, behind which
Lady Doria was standing, and after
few expressions of amazement ex.
claimed, why how do you do Lady
Doria?"
The Jig was up. Lady Doria had
no other alternative but to resign
her position, much to the con.
sternation of the stores employment
manager. She fled to Washington.
Lady Dorla's father. who was
formerly Lord Francis Hope, be.

organization Of the Democratic party
with view to capturing the presi.
.dency In 1882 ii the purpose Of con-
ference of party leaders to Be called
BY John y. Raskob, national chair
man. shortly after the Christmas
holidays.
Liquidation Of the S1,500,0Oo
debt incurred in the attempt to elect
Governor Alfred u. Smith and the
question of whether Raskob should
remain as the titnlar head Of the
party will also come up for discus.
sion at the Forthcoming conference.
Prominent Democrats from all over
the country, including Governor
Smith, are expected to attend.
IT can see no reason why, with
proper organization work, under
taken without unnecessary delay,
we should not in the next four
years build up an aggressive party
organization that can make itself
felt in the 1889 Presidential cleo
ton" said Mr.. Raskob.
Raskob believes the Republican
victory lii November, was due to
the fact that the Democrats did not
get going early enough. He said
he had not personally examined the
figures, but he has been informed
that change of not more than 5
per cent would have given our
national candidates this year q
majority of the popular vote" He
sees no danger OK the Democratic
party sinking into oblivion.
Indications are that no insur.
mountabIe difficulties viii be met
in the business OF liquidating the
Democratic debt. More men OF
means showed an interest, finan-
cially and otherwise, in the 1928
campaign OF the Democrats than in
previous campaigns Since election
day contributions have been pour
ing in from individuals all over the
country. In all 32,307 individual
contributions, aggregating $495.000,
have been received since Novem-
Der s.
If he remains as chairman, Fas-
kob will demand support of a plan
to Immediately start building up
the party through an effective orr
ganization and campaign of edu-
cation of voters that he believes
will put the partyNin much better
fighting shape than 1t was for the
1928 election.

that the best possible material be
used in her restoration. 1t happened
that in Commodore's pond, Pensacola,
Fla, many tons of live oak had heen
submerged for use in building wood
en- frigates for the navy. The war
that freed the slaves who gathered
this wood saw the passing of the
wooden fighting ship. So for p
years this supply of live oak has
been stored in Commodore's pond
In the rehabilitation of Old Ironsides
use has been found for it. To date
some 1905 large pieces, aggregating
approximately 1850 tons, have been
received at the navy yard from PEN
sacola. This timber is being used to
replace the cupboard timbers Of the
ship. It is Just the thing needed and
it is anticipated that many more tons
win be required before the work is
completed.
n Appeals are being sent throughout
the country and acquisitions are being
placed for materials suitable to make
up the hull OF fittings Of @Old Iron
sides" In addition to the live oak
received from the navy's store at Com
smodore's pond. the following materials
hav been ordered for the work |:
White oak from West Virginia for the
keel, keelson, ceilings and outside
planking; white oak knees. IL" shape
timbers cut from the roots and bases
of trees in the. forests located in the
vicinity Of Georgetown. Md; Douglas
fir for deck beams and planking re-
ceived from the West coast by navy
transport: copper rods from Massa-
chusetts and New York composition
clinch rings and tobin bronze spikes
from Boston; locust treenails, galvan-
lied iron spikes, malleable iron cliEch
rings from Maine, wrought iron for
fastenings above the waterline from
Pennsylvania white pine for the bulk
heads and general Joiner work from
the forests of New England; mahog-
any for furniture and fittings from
Honduras; lignum vitae for dead-eyes.
sheaves for blocks from Cuba and the
West Indies; hemp for manufacturing
rigging from Kentucky; oakum for
caulking from New Jersey; canvas for
the sails from Georgia; preservative
oil from Boston; paints. both inside
and out from Pennsylvania and New
England AS at the time of her orig
inal building, so now the resources Of
the country are being called upon to
furnish materials to render the old
hulk seaworthy.
Old Ironsides was one of the first
three naval vessels built by the United
States. She was launched'tn Hartt's

to sea once more, this time on a tour

sage to the ports Of our country.
Then the thousands of Americans who
have contributed to her building may
see rejuvenated Constitution, and
feel closer interest in this ship be-
cause they have helped save her once
more.
Over two and a half years were
spent. In looking up data on the ship
before the actual task of rebuilding
her was commenced. The archives
of the Navy department were
searched for original plans designed
by Joshua Humphreys; every known
bit of information concerning her
was checked and recorded; old pa
pers and documents. were dug up.
from the records of the bureau OF
construction and repair in Washing
ton, and plans and specifications OF
former reconditionings were studied
In order that the best methods and
materials might be used in restoring
this famous ship. AS the work
progresses new plans must be formu-
lated to replace lost or unreliable In.
formation, in order that the rebuilt
Old Ironsides may be an exact dupli-
cate Of the original.
The task of assembling materials
for the work has been no small one.
Just as the best materials obtainable
were placed in Old Tronsides by her
