BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT.

Ash Wednesday, February 20, will
fail to bring a surcease of activity in
Washington society this Winter, and
in fact by far the most thrilling part
of its program, that connected with
the Bicentennial, will come late in the
month. Mrs. Hoover, who has a decided
taste for things historic, is interested
in each of the Bicentennial balls and
other parties, and though she will be
privileged to attend but few if any
of them, she is said to hear of them
and read of them with avidity.
The Speaker and Mrs. Garner will
be chief guests at the White House
dinner Tuesday evening, an event ar
ranged especially in compliment to
Mr.. Gamers high Office, and just as
they did last week, the President and
Mrs. Hoover will have both dinner
and reception wiped off their program.
Thursday night they will hold a re-
ception for the officials of the Treasury,
Post Office, Interior, Agriculture and
Commerce and Labor Departments.
Just as at each of the other receptions, |
the cabinet members will assist the
Chief Executive and the First Lady
~, ba ar+o q inn of thpir Cy1IpCtC
and after the stately march to the
Blue Room, Thursday night will circu-
late through the other drawing rooms, |
each cabinet member and his lady |
meeting the personnel of his own de-
partment.
One heSitateS to mention the con-
f1icting social events Of Monday night |
of next week, for it takes a terrible |
tumbling of dice to see which one to |
attend. and some very strenuous persons
are trying 20 make them all. The |
White House reception in honor of the |.
Army and Navy will start at o'clock, |
and while it will last much longer |
than did the House reception last week, !
it will certainly be over by IL o'clock. |
This will leave the guests free to join .
the revelers at the Bal Boheme at the /
Willard-the rollicking Arts Cub ball
and one may even have time to 90
home and don a costume appropriate
to the Seven Seas and walk or swim
among the fantastic beauties Of the
deep which help to transform the ball
room into veritable glimpse of under
sea fairyland
The third and last Bachelors Cotillion
was to take place on the night Of Febru-
airy 8, but it has been advanced to
Tuesday night, February g. and only
the Georgetown assembly and a few
other important local things are left
to clash with the Bal Boheme. Dinner
parties, which in an earlier period Of
Washington life would have been con-
sireder in doubtful taste in Lent, now
go on quite as though the season were
not at close and many important
dinners in honor of the Secretary of
State and Mrs. Stimson, with Ambas-
sadors and Ministers as hosts, are yet on
the calendar.

NAVY YARD WORK
WILL Be ROTATED
Men Now on PayIesS Leave
to Get Employment
Under Program.

Starting December /. jobs at the
Washington Navy Yard will be rotated,
so that men now on furlough without
pay will be given employment, under
a program in which all will share in
work.
This became known today with the
dispatch of an order by Secretary
Adams to the commandants of all
naval districts and commanding off,
GERS of shore stations, designed to
spread jobs around
Trade Is Unit Basis.
Local officials said today that the
new program will apply within a trade,
as the unit basis. as obviously a ma
chinist cannot do boilermaker's work
and vice versa. Specialists within a
group will share the work with their
own craftsmen, so that none may be
kept loafing without any income, under
the new plan, as officials outlined it.
The innovation will affect the 3.846
civilian workers at the Washington
Navy Yard. Under the direction of
Rear Admiral Henry " Butler, the
commandant, letters are being mailed
out today recalling the men from in
definite furlough and placing them on
the rotating leave of absence without
pay. This means, as the officials ex-
planned it, that instead of having to
wait indefinitely for a vacancy to turn
up at the local yard. those not now
working will have chance shortly to
be employed, soSle of the other men
who have been working being placed on
a payless status temporarily.
Fifty-six on Furlough.
At present 56 men in various trades
are now on the indefinite furlough
status, and these will be given early
opportunity for employment.
The new rule applies also to men
with wives also working in the Gov
ernment service who were slated to lose
their jobs altogether and be discharged
outright Under the policy OF the econ
omy act, officials asserted. The new
method wipes out an admitted injustice,
the officials conceded, and Quiets for
the time b2ing storm of protest which
has been raised over this provision Of
the economy act.
