Baby's Vegetables
Canned in Glass, zoe
Now when vegetables are
given baby as early as six
months, it is a great comfort
to be able to. get them strained
and ready to serve except for
diluting and heating. They are
packed in glass containers so
there is no chance of chemical
contamination. and it is not
necessary to throw away what
is not used in a feeding. If
you are planning a trip this
will be wonderful help to you.
Four-ounce size jars of spinach,
carrots, beets, prunes, ETC., may
be bought for 20 cents.
Cleaning Mitts
Save Hands, 15c to SOC
No matter how you pick up
a duster, you are likely to get
the cracks of your hands filled
with CRIME. These nice chemi-
cally treated mitts have a thick
surface of clippings" like the
yarns in floor mops. and afford
the maximum of protection as
we'll as the minimum of effort
in cleaning and polishing. They
come in dark Colors, which in
sures against leaving white lint
on the surface busted. A
spring special sale" enables
you to get them as low as is
cents.
A Longer
Garter Belt, So
Most women want more than
a garter belt in this season of
tight hiplines, yet demand
something cooler than a girdle
for the hot months. We've
found a happy medium, a little
girdle-belt that is only long
enough in front to hold the
tummy flat, but is longer in
the back, giving q smooth line
for tight frocks. It is of satin
and elastic or swamee and
elastic, very light weight, and
boned only slightly in the
front, with four suspenders.
A Motto on
Your Handkerchief, Soc
Mary Nowitzky, the famous
Paris designer, originated the
idea of printing motto on
your chiffon handkerchief-for
instance, Hello" or Come
Closer" or IT Love You," so that
the mere flaunt of a handker-
chief is sufficient. These smart
novelties have been copied by
a Washington shop. and are
available in combinations of
sports colors. They are a fash
ionable size to trail from your
pocket as they come in large
squares.

The Secretary of the In
terror, Ray Lyman Wilbur,
will be the principal speaker
at the dedication tomorrow
of the million-dollar West,
chester county IN. W Rec
reation Center at White
Plains, N. Y.
Washington has a special
interest in the center as Mrs.
Eugene Meyer, of Washing
ton and Mount Kisco, N. Y,
has been chairman of the
commission sponsoring the
project.
Popular Here
Mrs. Meyer is one OF the
Capitals most popular and
charming hostesses. For sew
eral years her husband was
chairman of the War Finance
Corporation and from time. to
time his name has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection
with various diplomatic posts.
Fortunately for Washington,
however, the Meyers have pre-
ferred remaining in this coun-
try and have consistently de
clined such offers.
They have magnificent
country estate at Mount Kisco
and for years made their home
in Washington in the beautiful
residence at the city side of
the Connecticut Avenue Bridge.
Several years ago, however.
they sold the site which is now
occupied by a large apartment
house and since then have
made their home at 1924 Cres-
cent Pl. N. w.
They have a group OF young
sters, the eldest, Florence, made
her debut in 1923 and is at
present student at Bryn
Mawr. The second daughter,
Elizabeth, is at Vassar and so
far has not announced her
debut plans. There are three
others, Eugene, Sd, and Rather
inc and Ruth. All five are
ardent horse lovers and seldom
miss a horse show in or near
Washington.
Music Festival
The recreation center at
White Plains is a project in
which Mrs. Meyer has been
enthusiastically interested. The
first public affair in the build
ing was a little theater per-
formance on May IL. The main
auditorium to be used for the
ceremonies tomorrow, seats five
thousand and can accommo
date $500 more on the stage.
Mrs. Meyer is, also, taking an
active part in the sixth annual
Westchester County Music Fes-
tival, which is being given in
the auditorium on the new rec
reation center this week. She
is chairman of the board of
governors of the Westchester
Choral Society.

Mrs. Lawrence Townsend,
who is travelling through Eu.
rope to study the work of new
artists who may possibly be
presented to Washington audi
ences in her series of morning
musicales next winter, had op,
portunity to be present at a
music event, which was recog-
nized as important on both
sides of the Atlantic.
She attended the debut of the
New York Philharmonic SYM.
phony Orchestra, with Arturo
Toscanini conducting. And now
she is in London in time to
hear Rosa Ponselle in her de-
but in Traviata at Covent Gar
den.
Besides Paris and Londcn,
Mrs. Townsend has visited such
music centers as Vienna, Buda-

the young artists who are re.
garded as exceptionally brilliant
IN their own countries. And
from this stimulating material
she will select a group to ap.

trast to the attitude of the Italian
Chamber of Labor and the various
liberal organizations. The Cham
Der of Labor appeals to Representa-
tive La Guardia on the grounds
that the immigration inspector,
Piaggio, should have waited until
Borghi got off the stage before ar
resting him, and thus "precipitating
trouble" In this it agrees with
Police Commissioner Whalen, whose
bosses have recently scolded him
about too much grand stand play
while beating up or arresting the
workers.
The Civil Liberties Union writes
Secretary of Labor Davis, demand
ing that Piaggio be disciplined for
"precipitating riot" also asking
right of political asylum for Borghi.
II Nuovo Mundo, the Italian So
cialist paper says it will "file suit
for precipitating a riot"
The "riot" was when italian

Rapid Industrial Development.
In the first four months of the

1853 per cent. In the first four
months of 1928-29 the correspond
ing figure was 20.9 per cent, and in
the first four months of 1929
only 1872 per cent. The develop
ment of heavy industry was particu-
larly rapid and totalled 1922 per
cent.
Not only has the production in
creased but the costs of production
have fallen by as per cent, whilst
the productivity of labor rose by

In connection with the review of
the situation in Chicago, the Plen-
UNI had to complete the liquidation
of the remnants of opportunist fac

The discussion on the work in the
South constituted the first compre-
hensive consideration given by the
Party to this subject, Analysing the

Plenum emphasized that the organ
ization of the Negro workers must
be always at the very center of
our work in the South, on the basis
of the fight for social, political and
economic equality and agitation for
the slogan of self-determination.
The resolution on Work in the
South, presented to the Plenum,
which was the joint work of south
ern organizers and the national of
flee, was approved unanimously,
with emphasis upon the necessity of
increasing our forces in the South
and training new cadres for the
work.
The Plenum was unanimous in
all its decisions, and demonstrated
in the discussions as we'll the de-
velopment of the highest degree of
political unification. 1t was a
working gathering of the most ac-
tive leaders from all over the coun-

great movements of the past

of common political line, and
theoretically combating all enc

the most relentless self-criticism it
searched out all weaknesses and

measures to remedy them.
In few days will be published
