MRS. MITCHELL MAKES MOST
81 OF LIFE BY CFEERFULNESS
Wife of attorney General
Performs Duties With
Smiling Energy.
0evotes Time 10 Play as Well
as Work, and Radi-
ates Joy.
BY MARGARET HART.

The Joy of living, the pleasures of
society. study, sport and being real
companion to her husband and her two
sons are perhaps accountable for the
engaging personality of Mrs. William
De Witt Mitchell.
The wife of the new Attorney Gen.
eral goes about her daily tasks with a
smiling energy which conveys the
happy impression that she enjoys being
a cabinet hostess.
She finds it is possible to carry on
philanthropies and social activities, to
keep her attractive home In perfect
running order and to make it real
home, to play a bit and to help others
get some of the delight out of life that
she gets herself.
Radiates Cheer and Good win.
Mrs. Mitchell radiates cheer and good
will She has always been one of the
most sought after of the official set,
and, with her husband, one of the most
desired diners-out. Mr. and Mrs,
Mitchell like home life, however, and
limit the number of their dinner invi-
tations or of the 1uncheons. Mrs.
Mitchell attends.
Since she arrived in Washington with
her husband when he was appointed
Solicitor General, in 1925, Mrs. Mitchell
has taken a personal interest in many
District charities, and she is regular
worker and visitor of the Y. w. C. A.
She expressed delight over her hus-
bands appointment to the cabinet.
The Mitchells have become such a part
of Washington'S ofiicial life and their
home is regarded as such a center of
hositalpity and good cheer, that people
in and out Of officialdom would have
missed them badly had they left.
The Mitchell residence is one of the
most imposing of the official centers.
It overlooks Rock Creek Park. The
vista from the windows is beautiful
and the house is surrounded by trees
and shrubbery. Because of lack of
space Mrs. Mitchell has been unable
in Washington to show her skill as a
flower grower. as she has In her Sum-
mer home, at White Bear Lake, near
ST. Paul. She Is especially proud of
her peonies there.
The entire Mitchell family can be
seen hiking through Rock Greek Park,
stopping to examine trees, to watch the
birds or to inspect plants, for they
are versed in tree, plant and bird lore.

the audience had come under the mis-

for the speaker was Shaw and His

sire OF his listeners, DR.. Henderson pro-
ceded to give q number Of typical
Shav1an anecdotes growing out of the
lecturers acquaintance with the English
playwright through a period Of Is years.
Shaw Is not primarily or essentially
q jester, as the public so often fancies
him, the speaker said, but was, on the
contrary, serious and autere man.
He Is not at bottom a playwright. q
critic, or novelist, but a socialist. a
philosopher and prophet Beginning
his career as an economist, Shaw
studied socialism, art, music and liter
allure; today he does not parry the
charge that he is a great man, but
admits 1t freely In characteristic man
ner, DR.. Henderson declared.
The essence of Shaw Is best repre-
sented in one Of his perorations, the
speaker declared, which was that II

GERMANS RESENT
VIEW OF BANK RATE
French Sources Accused of
Interpreting Raise in Un-
justifiabIe Sense.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 26-The Wolf Blu
reau German press association. has is
sued denial of reports Of French origin
dealing with the condition of the
Reichsbank and the raising of its dis
count rate yesterday from Ga to Ia
per cent.
The statement charges conclusions"
reported to 1t by French sources repre-.
sented an intentional undermining CT
German credit abroad 1t denied there
had been extensive foreign withdrawal
Of deposits from Germany.
The statement follows:
According to reports by a French
news agency, Wednesdays session OF
the Dawes plan transfer committee has
given rise to conclusions which cannot
be explained otherwise than as an In
territorial undermining Of German
credit abroad.
Withdrawals Are Denied.
"It was said. for instance, that GER
tain foreign banks considered it wise TO
withdraw their deposits from Germany.
Up to the present such Withdrawals
have not been noticeable. If such
sudden hint should lead to Withdrawals
it will be evident from what quarter the
signal has been given and to whom
must be ascribed the blame for the
transfer difficulties arising from them.
Apparently the members of the
transfer committee recognized the ire
sponsibility of the reports and the
danger of creating through the press
such sentiment tending to induce with
drawals, and gave out statement to
the effect they had not suggested
raise in the discount rate Of the ReichS-
bank.
"As a matter of fact, the Reichsbank
watched recent exchange and gold ex-
port developments with increasing ap-
prehension and had decided to increase
the discount rate already, before the
session of the transfer committee: The
Reichsbank merely waited for the
weekly statement of April % to have
complete survey of the total status
Of the bank In order to be able to Judge
the amount Of the necessary discount
rate increase. AS soon as it was SUBJ
mitted the Reichsbank drew the neces-
sary deductions from its weekly state
ment."
Gilbert Wins Praise.
The German press today lauded the
action Of 8. Parker Gilbert, agent gen.
eral for reparations, yesterday In deny
ing that he or the transfer committee
had suggested to the Reichsbank IT,
raise its discount rate.
1t was said such an action would not
have been suitable to his position and
would have been contrary to the spirit
of the Dawes plan.
Deutsche TaRblatt said Gilbert acted
frankly and in self-defense. as his per-
sonal reputation as an international
and financial genius was at stake"

"If we use income tax payments as a.

Of 80 States In the Union and more
than was paid by the people living in
