Miss Frances Perkins, Industrial

and that unless the workers are
assured Of . regular livelihood. no

Cooperation Required
Continuity of employment, Miss
Perkins declared, was a problem

She favored joint action in en-

CURTIS OIL JOB
REPORT ST|RS
POLITICIANS
Vice Presidents Selection
as Petroleum Gar Seen
as Solution of '32 Problem

A report that the American
oil industry plans to draft Vice
President Charles Curtis as its
CHAR provoked considerable dis.
cussion today in Republican
circles.
While Mr.. Curtis denied 'hav.
ing received any such Offer" his
friends believed American oil
producers have such plan in for
nation and it was said decision
would be reached at the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institutes annual
meeting in November.
2 Problems Offered
If Mr.. Curtis accepted such an
offer, it would remove two Ad-
ministration dilemmas. First, it
would permit President Hoover
to chose his own running-mate in
1882 without offending Mr.. Cur
it's friends. Second, it might re-
suit in the selection Of David A.
Mu1VaIle, Vi hdLASdS, do VIC ACAN
Republican national chairman.
With rumorS prevailing that MIR.
Curtis would seek a seat in the
Senate next year instead OF run
ming as Vice President on Mr..
Hoover's ticket there has been a
decided GOODNESS between the two
men.
West Wants Chairman
The President, however, would
be forced to accept Mr.. Curtis
as his running mate, if the latter
sought reelection. or else provoke
a direct split in his own party.
Mr.. Mulvane, mentioned for
the post of Republican national
chairman, has been handicapped
by the Hoover Curtis GOODNESS
The Presidents friends have op-
posed Mr.. Mulvane's selection.
With Mr.. Curtis out Of political
life, this opposition would be
eliminated,

One family uses hot water by the tub.
full all day long; another family uses less
and only at certain periods of the day.
II both have the same type Of water
heater. one of them is not getting the
ideal hot water service they need and
expect.
Having the right kind of water heater,
fitted to your special needs, is just as
important as having the right kind of
furnace or clothes or house. And now
it Is easy.
Just call your Gas Company or any
plumber who is a member of the Certified
Hot Water Association. A competent
operator will survey your house free of
charge and tell you what heater will give
your family the hot water you need, when
you need it, with lowest possible use
of gas.
If your present heater is an old one,
you'll be delighted at the convenience of
truly automatic water heating-and you'll
be surprised at its low cost. Investigate
today. Remember, you have 1S months
to pay, and you can be enjoying this
modern comfort all that time and for
years to come.

CHANGES
At LAST

Lady Luck has taken Elmer
Mattingly. of 1853 Tenth st. N.
W., back into her favor after MIR.
Mattingly was beginning to think
the fickle goddess had even for
gotten his address.
His bad luck began on the re-
cent Business Mems outing to
Chapel Point when he left the
dance floor during q waltz contest
before he discovered that the
judges we're considering him for
the first prize. The next day,
with Mrs. Mattingly, he Went cut
to the Chevy Chase swimming
pool for a dip and found, upon
returning to- his car, hat his
wife's pocketbook, with $40 and
various personal belongings, was
gone.
Later in the week he came out
Of his house late for his office,
to find a tire flat. Convinced
that MISFORTUNE was trailing him
fol good he lifted the front seat
in search of the Jack" only to
discover Mrs. Mattingly'S purse
with the cash intact.
Now he is waiting news that
the judges in the dance contest
have decided he was winner even
if he did leave the. floor too early
in the evening.

This will be the keynote of a

rious financial crisis in Great
Britain.

call upon them to participate in
the sacrifices necessary to safe

vent a threatened huge deficit.
This appeal to the people" will
constitute one Of the most impOr-

In order to reconcile the So

in governmental expenditures, it
was understood Premier Mac
Donald would recommend a flat
tax on all interest-bearing bonds,
including industrial debentures.
This move will hit the pockets
of the wealthy classes and act
as a sop to the militant Socialists
in the Labor party, who object
strenuously to any curtailment

The Tonic For Industry

It is natural that approval of the proposed mortgage redscount bank should come from real estate and construction men. who have direct business interest in the matter. Strong approval however, is voiced by many able bankers who realize the need of better credit facilities for real estate, and also the enormous public benefit that might result from such stimulation of the building industry It is pretty well agreed by this time that the worst obstacle to business re- vival is frozen real estate. If mortgages can be made more liquid it may loosen things up all along the line. Present mort gages will become better collateral, new mort gage loans may be obtained. taxes and bills will be paid, new building will start em- ployment will gain and there will be gen. eral revival of buying.
 According to Paul M. Mazur, prominent banker writing in. the New York Times, the formation af mortgage redseount bank with S2,500. 100000 at its command might result in $8,000,0000 of expenditure. Ensuing home construction on a big scale might prove to be the big thing needed to pull the country out of its dullness, just as other things have pulled it out in the past. Profitable stimulation would soon result, not only in the construction work. but in building materials of all kinds. in house furnishing and equipment, in road-buildng. in motor cars, in railroad transportation, and many other fields. It looks like a rare chance to kill two birds with one stone, cor recting obvious defect in the banking sys-, tenn and providing potent tonic for indus try at the psychological moment.

resentatve Sol Bloom of the 10th New York district is the man. He has made the success of the George Washington bicenten- nial celebration an assured success one year before it is to take place. The entire twelve months of l932 will be given over in every hamlet and metropolis of this nation to some observance in honor of George Wash ington who was born just two centuries ago. To Sol Bloom. Congress entrusted the gi- gantic task of making the nation George Washington conscious year or so back. And Sol Bloom has taken hold of his job in characteristic fashion. Maybe it was the mere fact that Sol supervised the construc- ton of the Midway Plaisanee at the Worlds Fair in Chicago, 1893 that. led his confreres to choose him. At any rate he is doing good job for a good cause. Here's more power to Sol.

Landing Fields Needed

Privately owned airplanes are increasing in number so rapidly in France that the problem of landing field space is becoming acute. Le Bourget and other we'll known flying fields are already crowded with mili- tary and transport planes. In some places hangar space is utterly inadequate. and planes are so close together that the fire hazard is greatly increased.
 French newspapers are pointing out that there is no airdrome near Paris with anything like the spaciousness and utility of Berlin's great Tempelhof Field. In the meantime airplanes fitted with every modern appliance can be had at about the cost of high class automobiles, and for less than the cost of a de luxe French car and much less than an imported American car.
 America is forewarned. We have lot of space here for landing fields, Some of it might as fell be reserved for that purpose without waiting for such plight as France is suffering. Gasoline filling stations. gar ages. and parking spaces for automobiles are needed today in numbers no one would have dreamed of 25 years ago. The airplane de- velopment may be just as swift and wide spread.
