]. s. PROVIDING
RELIEF FOR
100000

Expenditure of Federal funds
for relief Of the unemployed should
be handled by official public
bodies instead Of by private well
fare agencies. Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal relief administrator, de-
clared today before meeting Of
state relief executives.
Eighteen million persons are
now on the relief rolls, he said.
The public bodies-State. county
and municipal-should dispense
the funds under the same respon-
. sibility that obtains in disburse-
ment of Federal funds by States
for other purposes, Hopkins said.
he added:
Hundreds of private agencies
scattered throughout the land
have freely and generously Of
fered their services in the ad-
mninistration of public funds. 1t
would be a serious handicap to
relief work if the abilities and
interests Of these individuals
are lost"
Relief will go strictly for unem-
ployment, Hopkins said.
Unemployed heads of families
are the intended beneficiaries OF
the $500,000,00O relief fund pro-
yided by Congress.
There is a huge problem in
Celief to transients, Hopkins
pointed out. This will be met by
special appropriations to the
States. This relief will be food,
clothing, shelter and medical
attention.

Chiefs Wife Belittles
'Woman's Place in Home Adage
Mrs. Vidal Believes
All Wives Need
Other Interests

Every wife should have Ca
reer or some outside interest.
Otherwise she will eventually be-
come one of those "nagging
women that we read and hear so
much about"
So says Mrs. Nina Vidal, wife
Of Eugene L. Vidal, new director
of aeronautics in the Department
Of Commerce. woman who has
tried her hand at many things.
Mrs. Vidal, daughter of Sena-
tor Thomas P. Gore, of Okla
homa, has been interested in avia-
ton, newspaper work, politics and
now hopes to go back to her first
love-writing.
Scores "Naggers"
To be a successful wife, Mrs.
Vidal contends, a woman must
have an outside interest. She
says:
"A wife should be interesting
to her husband at all times, and
il she stays at home all the
time with nothing to occupy her
mind, she will eventually be-
come one of those nagging
wives we read and hear SO
much about"
Mrs. Vidal pointed to Amelia
Earhart and her publisher hus-
band, George Putnam, as an
excellent example. That mar
ried couple, she said, both have
their own careers and both have
"a grand job of marriage"
At one time during her mar
ried life, Mrs. Vidal went to New
York for a season on Broadway.
She has studied aviation with
an idea of some day doing a
"solo'' and was at one time
actively engaged in journalism.
"Mother's Place"
It has been said, she asserted,
that woman should make a
career of their children, but
Mrs. Vidal, who has an eight
year-old son, believes that
mothers "outlive their usefulness
to their children" She said:
"Children grow up, and then
what?"
Right now, Mrs. Vidal hopes
to buckle down to a bit of
"honest-to-goodnesS writing"

Appointment of Miss Fay L.

It was revealed that there is
considerable influence behind

HOTELWORKERS
PROTEST CODE

Objection to the proposed hotel
code was voiced today by Charles
E. Sands, of the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees Alliance, as
public hearings on the code
opened today.
Sands claimed that under the
terms of the code the workers
would suffer a 20 per cent pay
cut. He also expressed opposi-
ton to the maximum working
hourh set by the code, 48 for
women and 81 for men.
The code sets as a minimum
wage 81 cents an hour in cities
up to 250,OO0 and % cents above
that size.
Lucius M. Boomer of New York,
chairman of the hotel code COM
mittee, said the financial condi-
ton of hotels is so grave that
many operators say they cannot
meet the terms of the code. He
urged a liberal code with due re-
spect for this condition.
He insisted the merit clause"
be retained. This reserves the
right to hotel men to hire and
discharge employees without re-
spect to membership in labor
unions.
The code called for a maximum
of 48 hours a week for women and
81 for men, with hotels in cities
of less than $4,000 persons ex-
cepted. Minimum wages would
range from % cents an hour in
towns under 1900 to % cents in
towns over 100000.

1888 Auto Tqg
May Be Good
Till March

The probability that 1888 Dis
trict automobile tags may, be
good until March, 1884, ap-
peared today.
Capt. M. M. Barnard, super
intendent of District penal in
stitutions, said two carloads of
the steel with which the tags
were to be made have been
condemned and that this will
delay distribution of the mark
ers until March Of next year.
District tags are made at the
Lorton Reformatory, and Bar
nard pointed out that five car
loads of steel were ordered for
delivery last June /. The ship
ment did not begin to arrive
until August. he said, and then
it was found two carloads had
to be condemned. The other
three haven't arrived yet.

OWN PLAN BEST,
BANKER TELLS
TREASURY
Says Depositors Would Get
IS Per Cent Immediately
Under His Proposal

Col. Wade H. Cooper, president
and majority stockholder Of the
closed United States Savings
Bank, announced today that to-
morrow he will institute legal ac-
tion to compel the Treasury to re.
license his bank under his
original plan which was disap-
proved Saturday by Deputy
Comptroller Gibbs Lyons.
John w. S. Taggers and w.
Bissell Thomas, attorneys for the
banker, today mailed a vigorous
reply to the Lyons letter of re-
lection which also suggested an
alternative plan.
Plan Unacceptable
The letter in part follows:
eve cannot acceptNy6ur sug-
gested change for the following
reasons:
TN the plan which we pro-
posed, the depOsit0rs would re-
ceive Immediately upon the re-
opening of the bank, IS per
cent, and the balance would be
guaranteed to them by trustee
ing certain assets and adding
to the trust fund all dividends
declared on the stock of the
bank. and by making the en-
tire present outstanding capital
stock of the bank also liable for
such additional amounts as may
be necessary to pay the de-
p0sitOrs in full.
position UNTENABLE"
"The plan proposed by
Colonel Cooper is SO much
fairer to the depositOrs than
the Hamilton National Bank
merger plan, which the Comp
trOller not only approved but
enforced, that your present pO-
sitiOn is untenable and incOm.
prehensible.' =.
Under the alternative plan all
stock in the bank would be sur.
rendered and cancelled. It would
then be resold at an amount suf-
ficient to restore the capital struc-
ture and an adequate surplus
after elimination of Objectionable
assets and utilization of sufficient
waivers to bring this to proper
proportion.

the fact that Mrs. Bloomer did not IN

the costume she invented would have
become a mere historical curiosity if
it had not been for another inven-
tion-the work, I believe, of man or
several men, / mean the bicycle.
The bloomer was a quaint and ugly
garment; it was remarkable that when
women wanted to be emancipated
they chose for a symbol a dress based
on the slaves of the Turkish harem-
they had trousers complex. Sensible
women emancipated themselves from
that kind Of ugliness very rapidly,
