Women In Official Life
Interesting Interviews With Prominent
Hostesses in Washington
MRS. WILLIAM n. DOAK.

estimated the materials. and then Sc
lected a contractor to do the work
Rumor has it that the contractor
was amazed at the accuracy with which
this lady of the cabinet had computed
the number OF cement blocks needed
and all the other material needed; Tor
neither were there too many blocks
nor too few, but Just the rlght number.
Every woman should know how to
build a home" Mrs. Doak continued,
THAT is very important, for she should
be able to figure out whether the lay
out is the most advantageous TO give
attractiveness. and also comfort. Some
times rooms in a home are built small
in an attempt to economic. This Is
an unsound practice, for only or 8
feet added to a room add very little
expense and make big improvement
in the comfort
II think if I were young and had a
girl friend who would go with me" Mrs.
Doak reflected, Il should buy plot of
ground out in the country and build a
place to live which I could gradually
improve as time went on. One can do
much in growing shrubbery II she
utiliZeS time. for it does take few
years to grow attractive plants and
flowers from small slips and tiny seeds.
What people need very much is to get
away from the city and get out into
the great open spaces OF the country" :"
X
Turning to her biggest hobby-that
of being a wife-Mrs. Doak revealed
once more her propensities as a builder
this time-a builder of a home.
It think the best way I can help my
husband to do his work well is to give
him a home which Will contribute most
to his well-being," she said. Il believe
that it should be quiet place where
he can come from the cares of his work
and the hustle of the city and find
comfort and relaxation"
There is another field in which a
wife's supervision is important. Mrs
Doak believes. That has TO do with
food. Every dav among the numerous
trips made to Washington, is tucked in
a stop at the market where she per-
sonally selects the food for her table
Evening star., 1932-04-17

As for the preparation of it, she
declares
we always have very simple meals,
for We feel th9t they are most health
full. We rarely have dessert, and when
we do. it is usually made from some
type of fruit. Apples are the mainstay
of our fruit diet"
Although Mrs Doak has a cook who
prepares the meals. there are certain
dishes, of which the Secretary is es-
pecially fond such as apple sauce,
plain stewed chicken, biscuits, yeast
made buckwheat cakes and a dessert
of old fashioned blackberry jam cake.
which she prepares herself.
To be able to scrutiniZe a piece of
work and evaluate it properly calls for
an intimate knowledge of the work.
This, Mrs. Doak has acquired with re-
gard to the Department of Labor, for
there has been 10 closer follower OF
the policies of the present Secretary OF
that department of the Government
than she.
One usually thinks of this depart
ment as representing especially the
laboring class and its interests" she
avoWed. IF this Is true, then GER
talnly its work is very, very important.
Il think one of the valuable pieces
OF work the department Is attempting
now has to do with the stamping out
OF illegal immigration to this country.
There are persons and organizations
who specialize in smuggling foreigners
into this country who have not been
able to enter lawfully under their own
national quota. Everything from pass
ports to naturalization papers is counter
felted by the smuggling organic, tions.
This is crime, and the Depart
ment of Labor is trying to expose and
punish the criminals who are perpe-
trating it. The department is trying to
make foreign people realize that this
policy is protecting them from the
racketeers in immigration"
She went on to speak of other phases
OF work OF the Department of Labor
the supervision over naturalization as
we'll as immigration, the directing OF
child welfare and health activities. And
In her discussion of this subject, as we'll
as III all of the other subjects she had
toucned, Mrs. Doak revealed a philoSo-
ply which she expressed at the con-
clusion of the interview.
You can make a success of anything
If you are enthusiastic about it., she
said.
No doubt 1t is the practicing of such
a philosophy that has gained her sue
cess in her planning and building, be
1t house or home, meal or flower
bed.

Daniel Burton, of Georgetown,

Of his sickness was reached a day

veloped and death came just after
midnight Thursday morning. Mr.
Burton had made his home with
his nephew since the death of the
formers only daughter several
years ago in Wilmington. He spent

a large tract from the Indians in
