QUIITIN6 MOTIF PATTERN NQ493

OF the many friendship quilts,
the Friendship Star should es-
pecially delight the quiltmaker,
since it offers the opportunity Of
using many scraps of material.
A truly choice pattern, each
patchwork block is made of
such a variety of scrap pieces
that even a large group of
friends could be represented in
one block. The quilt is equally
handsome if each block is made
of the same scrap materials or
if different ones are used in
each block. The small illustra-
ton above shows with what few

beautiful block is made.

BARTER Of WORK
URGED AS Job AID
Dr.. Mordecai Ezekiel Offers
Plan to Family Welfare
Committee.

A plan for local unemployment re-
lief by barter Of services for goods or
other services was suggested by DR..
Mordecai Ezekiel, economic adviser to the
E,cretary Of Agriculture, yesterday
;iternoon In an address before the
Family Welfare Committee of the
Council Of Social Agencies in the Young
Women's Christian Association Build
ing. Seventeenth and K streets.
Speaking on Economic Possibilities
Of the Unemployed Caring for Them
selves" DR.. Ezekiel made 1t plain that
whatever he said was uttered unof-
ficially and represented only his own
personal opinion and not necessarily
that OF the Agricultural Department.
Jobless Labor Wasted.
The greatest waste Of the depression,
he said, is the waste of labor which
might be done by the unemployed.
The unemployed have the ability to
work, but lack the materials and ma
chinery, and what the country lacks,
he declared, Is the organization which
would bring these three elements to-
gether. The whole plan of the admin
istration's economic recovery plan is
based ON this idea, he asserted
Pending national recovery, DR.. Ezekiel
said, the local problem is to devise
means whereby the unemployed can be
given q chance to work for themselves
This, he said, would be effected
through system of barter. He pointed
out the following specific cases as ex-
amples Of what could be done:
Wood could be cut in the suburbs to
supply homes which lack heat.
Empty houses could be turned over to
carpenters and painters in exchange
for the work necessary to put them in
proper condition.
Farmers IN Maryland and Virginia
could exchange food for clothing, there
by giving work to idle tailors.
Script Might Be Issued.
In order to facilitate such exchanges,
DR.. Ezekiel continued, script might be
issued through . barter exchange Is
has been done in other cities. He con-
cluied by saying the support of the
business leaders Of the city would be
essential for the success Of such a
plan.
DR.. Ezekiel has been active for some
months in helping local relief agencies
with advice
The Council of Social Agencies al
ready has recommended to the Dis
trict Commissioners the establishment
Of a barter exchange such as recon-
nended by the speaker.
Rev. Francis J. Haas, chairman of
the committee. presided and Miss M.
E. Coulson, secretary, read q report of
the councils activities.

THE N. r. A. CODES

1t does not imply ldisloyaity to the ma
tion..l administration or opposition to its
program to raise question or two respect
ing the practical significance of that pro-
gram. In fact, constructive criticism is
always helpful, and in our opinion a calm
discussion of some phases of the New Deal
is not out of place at this time
The one activity of the government
which is receiving most attention Just now
is the administration Of the National Re-
covery Act, whereby it is sought to bring
all business and industry under govern
ment control. That the act is sought to be
administered for the public welfare may
be freely conceded. But the methods be-
ing employed are undoubtedly open to
some criticism.
In the first place, General Johnson,
the administrator, seems to have adopted
an unnecessarily hard boiled attitude. He
is welding the big stick with vengeance,
threatening all who do not Immediately
comply with the Blue Eagle codes with
economic death, "a sock on the nose, z
boycotts and SO on.
Now, hundreds of thousands of small
business men, especially in the rural COM
munitles, are already laboring under bur-
den of debt and taxes which they are hard
ly able to bear. Many already have been
forced out of business and many more are

raise wages and employ more help when
they are barely getting by at present, and
with no new business in sight?

stitute the backbone of our business and i'm
dustrial structure. They operate under
such diverse local conditions that they can
not be blanketed under any general code
or rules without grave injustice to many.

should Lave no place in any program de-
signed to improve the condition Of a free
