By RODNEY

Washington, June 23.-(NEA)-
Between her fifth and her ninth
year, little Ruth Bryan used to come
onto the floor of the house with her
famous father. There are congress
men and capitol employees who re-
member it.
Just the other day, cight-year-old
Helen Rudd Owen, the granddaugh-
ter Of William Jennings Bryan and
daughter of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen,
made her own first visit to the floor
beside her mother who is now form
ally referred to by other members
as 1.-THE gentlewoman from Florida"
Bryan stepped from the floor of
the house into the Democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency in 1896.
When he came to Congress from
Nebraska no n expected that he
was going to do that. But Mrs.
Owen has only been here three
months and there are a great many
persons, especially in Florida where
it counts, who expect that she will at
least some day step from the house
to the senate.
Making . Good Record
Mrs. Owen is giving a perfectly
swell demonstration of how to be a
good congressman. Instead of max
ing the mistake Of plunging into ma
tional issues and grabbing limelight,
she has been plugging away to get
everything the constituents in her
district, which covers Miami and the
rest of the Florida east coast, want
and ought to have.
She has introduced two innova-
tions, to-wit:
/. She maintains an office at
Vero Beach, midway between the
districts north and south extremi-
ties, where Walter Buckingham
serves as resident secretary and
liaison officer between Mrs. Owen
and the constituents. When consti-
tuents want to talk things over and
can't get to Washington they go to
Walter.
2. She is about to keep her cam
paign promise to make reports in
each county Of her stewardship. It's
going to be warm this summer, but
Mrs. Owen plans nearly . hundred
speeches in fulfillment of the
promise.
She can talk lengthily, one finds,
of what she already has been able
to do for Florida's agricultural in
t~erests.
Within three weeks after the Med.
iterranean fruit fly was discovered
back home, Mrs. Owen and Congress
man Drane had arranged for an ap-
preparation of $4,500,00 0 to fight it.

the matter.
With the advent Of hot weather,

Aided Florida Farmers

Farmers stricken in the Florida
storm area, facing seed and fcrti-
lizer costs of $25 and more per acre,
were only to be loaned up to So an
acre from government funds until
Mrs. Owen got busy. Now they're
going to get $25 an ere.
Until now there hasn't been any
real census showing Florida's ac-
tual productivity, because agricul-
tural census forms have applied to
temperate zon products and not
sub-tropical products. But Mrs.
Owen has helped that, too. There
will be separate forms after this.
At the next session Mrs. Owen
has a campaign mapped out for flood
control around Lake Okecchobee,
where storms have caused tremend-
Gus life and property damage. The
water in this huge lake has been
kept at a high level by tributary
streams and, says Mrs. Owen, some
thing must be done.
