WILLARD F. HOBBS
ENDS j. S. SERVICE
Father of Free Text Book Law
Honored After d. Years in
Labor Department.

Willard F. Hobbs of 1923 Ontario
place, who is credited with having had
the major role in the fight that put free
text books in the public schools of the
District, was retired from the Govern
ment service yesterday after continuous
employment in the Labor Department
since November, 1886.
The third oldest emplioye of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, Hobbs met with
fellow workers in the Department of
Labor Building, at 1712 G street and, to
his surprise, was the central figure in
an intimate ceremony, during which his
chief took the opportunity to pay high
tribute to the work Of his career.
Elaborate Radio Set as Gift.
His associates presented an elaborate
radio set to him.
Ethelbert Stewart. commissioner Of
labor statistics, under whom Hobbs
worked as an examiner. asserted that
the poorer people of the District of
Columbia are enjoying benefits today to
the extent of thousands Of dollars an
nually which they owe to the untiring
energies of Mr. Hobbs.
No man did as much to put free text
books In the public schools of the Dis
trict as Willard F. Hobbs" he said.
The fact of the business is that Hobbs,
in connection with Paul Bowen, organ
lied the free text book movement and
put 1t across, if not single-handed and
alone, at least giving to 1t that energy
and devotion without which 1t never
would have been passed"
Mr.. Stewart also pointed out that
Hobbs wrote the draft for the bill, which
was enacted into law, making the first
Monday In September legal holiday.

FEDERATION WORK
PRAISED ON RADIO
Mrs. Fred T. Dubois Says
Body Speaks for Officially
SiIenced People.

The Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions was described as the voice of an
officially silenced people by Mrs. Fred
r. Dubois in a radio address over Sta
ton WMAL late yesterday afternoon.
Explaining that the work of the fed
Grafton Is guided chiefly by DR.. George
G. Havenner, president, and an advisory
council of eight members. Mrs. Dubois
outlined the objects and jurisdiction of
the federation.
THE object of this federation" she
said, "iS to obtain the expression of
the general public sentiment upon mat
tiers of special interest to all citizens of
the District and to secure and make
effective their united action. The juris-
diction of the federation extends only
to matters of special interest to the
entire District and which require con-
certed action. An association by join
ing the federation in no way limits its
liberty Of action on any subject"
The federation's value has been rec
ognized, Mrs. Dubois pointed out, by
the District Commissioners, who have
sought its advice in framing the bud
get and in framing proposed legisla-
ton. In its activities, Mrs. Dubois de-
clared, the federation has one goal,
Faithful citizenship, through worthy
home membership, and a concerted
movement to safeguard the health Of
the city; putting forth an earnest effort
for the best in education, so that the
youth may be guided into vocational
effectiveness and a wise use of the
leisure time that is the outcome of
greater mass production through en-
larged mechanical inventions"
