WOMEN FIRST.
IN CNA JOBS

Women desiring jobs under civil
works projects in the District
scored a victory yesterday when
it was announced that officials
had acted favorably on a request
from Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
that women should be given pref
erence in filling white-collar jobs
At the same time, the women
received a setback when Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal relief admin
istrator, announced that nurses,
teachers and women in vocational
professions cannot get work along
these lines, but must accept posi-
tions in other occupations.
In the white collar tasks, women
are to be given preference in all
suitable jobs up to two-thirds Of
the total, it was decided by Off
cials. Union wages will not be
paid, however, since it was de-
termined to continue the present
rate of As cents an hour for tn
skilled and $1.10 an hour for
skilled workers, rates which are
below those established by unions.

sERvIcE-NoT BRASS BANDS

The railroad industry IS not spectacu-
lar. It doesn't go in for brass bands and
Haunted banners. And that may be a
reason why the public, as a whole, has

done in recent years to build up the rail
road system of this country to where it Of.
fers the traveller and shipper unexcelled
and perhaps uneqaaIed service.
Since 1928 the roads have spent ST
000. 100000 for improvements and addi-
tions. Before any actual purchases were
made, millions were spent in elaborate and
extensive tests to probe the solndness or
fallacy of proposed plans. Recently, for
example, an appropriation Of $2,OOO,000'
was made for study of a'rbreaking sys-
TENS with view to possible Improvement.
Plans are now on foot for developing weld
ed, instead of rivited, tank cars, faster and
more comfortable passenger coaches, and
so on.
The general public-which, in spite
of all that is said to the contrary, still looks
on the railroads as the preeminent trans
porter of persons and merchandise -bene-
fits from all this. The railroads have new

The American people can be proud of

THE NEW ERA IN HOME BUILDING

From the standpoint of today's home
builder, the depression has produced one
good result
According to news item from Seattle,
building has acquired new status in the
last three years Architects and contrac-
tors agree that it will never 60 back to the
old basis. The principal change has been
in the degree Of discrimination developed
by the prospective builder and buyer. He
may be buying very Inexpensive place
but he had learned to demand beauty and
artistry and good workmanship and ma
terials. It is doubtful, as the news item
observes, if the old jack-knife carpenter
and the contractor who threw up number
of jerry-built homes as speculation, will
have place in the new order.
What is true in Washington is true, to
"a greater or lesser degree, elsewhere.
There has never been better time for
building a new home or rebuilding the old

much, both in materials and in expert, as
at present. The buyers market still exists

AN OLD QUESTION ANSWERED
Tampa Tribune)

Florida's overwhelming vote against
prohibition effectually disposes of the claim
made in 1923 and since that the defeat of
the Democratic national ticket in this state
lin that year was due to the fact that the
Democratic nominee for president was
pronounced wet.
We asserted at the time, and have
maintained whenever the question has aris-
en- since, that Florida went republican in
1928 mainly because of religious prejudice
and not prohibition sentiment.
Florida was wet in 1928 and would
have voted Or repeal IN 1928, If the ques-
ttion had been submitted then-not by as
pronounced a majority as was recorded
last week. but by an emphatic one. 1t is
uncomfortable that the view of the Florida
electorate should have changed so CON-
pletely in less than five years as to convert
4 prohibition majority into i four-to-one
vote for repeal. It didn't change-it only
became stronger. 1t has been against pro-
hibitiun NIL along.
Florida's majority went against AL
Smith in 1928, not because Of his anti-pro-
hihition stand. hut because Of his religious
faith--and voting that way for that reason
was far more discreditable TO Florida than
II II had voted that way for the other rea-
son.
