RELIEF
NOW PLANNED
FOR WOMEN
State Leaders to Be Named
To Help Find Jobs for
Destitute Workers
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Plans for providing work relief
for women on the nations relief
rolls, to be administered by
women throughout the country,
were announced today by Mrs.
Ellen S. Woodward, new director
of women's work in the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
This is the first attempt by the
administration to provide specific
relief for the thousands of women
who have been driven to seek
work from emergency organiZa-
tions.
Mrs. Woodward revealed COM
prehensive program which will
seek to provide work projects for
destitute women.
To Name State Heads
One plan calls for appoint
ment of one woman in each
State, who will be charged with
supervising work relief for women
in her State.
Mrs. Woodward already has
communicated with the emer-
gency relief administrator in
every State, calling on each to
name a candidate for the jobs.
She has heard from half a
dozen States and will confer
shortly with Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministrator, on the appointments.
She said:
1--WE have recognized the
need for the development of
useful work projects for the
thousands of men who, through
no fault of their own, have
been forced to seek subsistence
from the Federal Government.
"Our purpose is to place in
authority properly qualified
women in all the States who
will work with me toward
the end of gi : work 70.
destitute women. We want to
help them regain the self
respect and to make them
more employable when the
regular channels of business
open opportunities to them in
the future"
Women to Confer
Conventions of women's organ
izations in each State will be
called to map out projects for
giving work to these women, Mrs.
Woodward added.
It is hoped that opportunities
will be given not only to factory
women but also those in the So
called white collar" class. Nurses,
librarians, teachers and many
other classes will be given work
under the program.
Mrs. woodward was the second
woman in Mississippi to be elected
to the State legislature. She is
now executive secretary of the
Mississippi State board of de-
velopment, executive secretary of
the Mississippi State research
commission and a member of the
executive committee on the State
board of public welfare.

Sum $500,000 Less Than Last
Years Because U. S. Is
Giving Some Relief

Washington's Community Chest
campaign goal will be $1,945,'
1858 this year, approximately
$5OO,O00 less than last years goal.
The total collections this year
will be smaller because the ov-
ernment is contributing largely to
unemployment relief, it was ex-
planned several weeks ago by Ell
wood Street, chest director.
Emergency Only
Only the emergency phase Of
the relief situation has been
taken over by the Federal Gov.
ernment, he added. The care OF
the sick, aged, injured and or
phans remains a chest problem.
Two new agencies will be ad-
mitted this year-the Washington
Heart Association and Georgetown
Boys Club.
Allotments Given
Allottments to the various
groups out of the Chest funds, as
set forth by the budget committee
are:
Case work for dependent
families and individuals, $685.
10000.
Institutional care for dependent
children and adults. $317 400 90.
Hospitals, $685., ,634.19.
Health organizations, $685.

Character building agencies,

Totalling $1,768, 8,396.3O, and with
a Shrinkage of 10 per cent, or

needed is $1,945, ,235.93.
Collections this year are be-
hind those for last year, thus far,

Street Notes Rise
In Relief Seekers

Washington is one of the few
cities in which the number of
persons seeking relief is increas-
ing, members of the group solici-
tation unit of the Community
Chest were told yesterday by FL
wood Street, chest director.
Street attributed the increase
to the Federal pay cut and to
the fact that 80 per cent of those
seeking relief are Negroes who
were domestic servants or un-
skilled laborers whose jobs were
affected by the inability of Gov
eminent workers to employ them.

NEW INK KEEPS
PAPER SOFT

Ink makes papers brittle, and
the Bureau of Standards has
been trying to correct that diff.
Guilty.
Now. apparently, success has
been attained, for a modified type
of ink has been developed which,
it is thought, will have no de-
teriorating effect on paper.
linking paper means that it
wears out from folding about
twice as fast as it would other
wise, but now an ink has been
manufactured in which ammonia
is used in place of acid, and it
stands heat tests and folding
without making the paper brittle.

H|GHPR|CE SEEN
FOR BOOTLEG
LOCALIZED
"Speakeasy" Quality to Mark
Whisky in First Days Of Re.
peal; Supply Short

When Mr.. American Citizen
places his foot upon the rail the
morning of December Z and cele-
brates the return of the good old
days." he'll be clearing up his
hangover with the same whisky he
drank in the speakeasy the night
before.
For, according to Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol officials, the only
way to appease the vast public
thirst will be to rectify the meager
stock on hand. or, in good old
bootlegging parlance, by cutting"
This condition will be brougst
about, it is said, by the embargo
imposed by President Roosevelt,
which prohibits the entry into
this country of liquor from other
countries.
Higher Prices Due
It is also said that the en-
barge, which has been the re-
suit of several weeks intensive
lobbying here by the distillery
trust, will raise the price Of
liquor beyond the bootleg prices
which are being charged now for
the same quality of whisky.
A whisky trust is working
hard, it is declared, to keep the
lid clamped down on the i'm
portation of properly aged
whisky, and will offer the Amer
ican public a whisky that is no
better than the present bootleg
stuff-and make them like it.
The cold facts are that the
present supply of whisky of all
ages in this country totals Duv
100000 gallons. That sounds
like enough to throw lot Of
parties, but figures for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1919-theS
last pre-prohibition year the
number of gallons of whisky
consumed reached 62,0O0,000. In
1918 it was 100000.
Rectification Only Way
OF the 100000 gallons on
hand, only 100000 were made
prior to the Volstead era. A
total of 100000 manufactured
during the prohibition period is
four years old. In other words,
only 4,5OO.OOO gallons can be
legally bottled and bonded.
So, as Government officials see
it, the only solution is by recti-
fication. Whisky IS or l6 years
old, with a heavy body" can
be cut with new whisky or alco-
hol-or both-10 times, and the
consumer can still smack his lips
since he will be losing neither
flavor nor strength,
AS a matter of fact, officials at
the bureau pointed out, there was
plenty of rectified whisky in cir
culation before the Eighteenth
Amendment became part Of the
Constitution.
The situation is likely to be
similar to the return of 80 beer,
it is said, with the supply not
able to match the demand and
consequently an inferior product
in circulation.
Little Rum or Gin
But still it was beer. And this
still will be whisky. the officials
optimistically emphasized. There
is very little rum or gin in stor-
age-practically no gin that Is
four years old-but there is some
brandy, possibly 1000 900 gallons.
