DC. W0MAN'S WORK
CONTROL DISPUTED
"Surprising Shifts of Author
, ity" Charged by Claim
ant to Position.

A dispute over the central authority
on planning work for women under the
civil works program in the District, last
night drew from Miss Mary E. Stocking,
one of the claimants to the position,
a statement of her side of the matter.
Miss Stocking did not, however, name
the person or persons responsible for
what she termed surprising shifts of
authority which have tied her hands"
The announcement in the local pa
pers of December of my appointment
as director of women's civil works
projects in the District of Columbia, has
nut me in touch with innumerable
agencies who desire to cooperate in
placing women in suitable Jobs" she
said.
The time of several people has been
used to care for this, but. though I was
appointed by the Commissioners and
approved by Allan Johnstone, field
representative to Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal emergency relief administrator,
certain surprising shifts OF authority
have tied my hands. Until the appoint
ment is honored by Capt. Clarke, chair
man Of the Work Planning Committee
of the c. w. A., have only the name
and not the power to help.
Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, Federal di-
rector of womens work. has honored
nv appointment and all releases to
State administrators bearing upon
won1en's work are sent to me. from
headquarters.
For the past two months have vol
,Inteered in organization and vocational
work among the women who have been
sewing under the direction of Mrs
Maud Bradbury and Mrs. Jessie Hover
when 1 took the oath of Office un-
derstood it was as director of women's
work under the c. w. A. as did the
public and headquarters. Not until
met with the Work Planning Commit
tee did I find that that committee
wanted to restrict me to the sewing
project.
without cooperation of the Work
Planning Committee I can do no good
to the women Of Washington and this
cooperation has been withheld since
my appointment
"I am a native of Washington and
have the good of the women at heart
as those of them who have been thrown
with me will youch for. I feel that as
the committee has a woman already in
their ONCE whom they wish to have
this position, they Will give more CO.
operation to the new appointee and
therefore I await the Commissioners
decision as what is the most harmonious
thing to do in the circumstances"

The Rivals
Advertised for Sale.
But the theater did not prosper. and
in 1911 it was advertised for sale at
auction. No purchaser was willing to
assume the risk of buying, so the next
season saw a series of Shakespeare's
plays, and similar offerings were sub
mitted to public judgment in the years
that followed until 1920.
The Capitals second play house was
located at louisiana avenue between
Four -and-a-half and Sixth streets, and
its patrons included John Quincy
Adams, John c. Calhoun and other
noted citizens. During the 1924 sea-
son Lafayette visited Washington and
attended this theater.
BY 1881 it was considered necessary
to enlarge the building. and the reopen
ing was the occasion of Joe Jefferson's
assumption of the management. The
lamp did not work, and the audience
was dismissed on the opening night.
In 1888 third theater was erected
on E street near Thirteenth. and was
called the National. The present plav
house of that name occupies the same
site.

The motion picture industry was
practically at standstill today.
Not a camera turned in the ma
jod studios while workers gathered
to discuss financial and labor pro-

between 25 and so per cent.
Twenty-four labor unions, in
Guiding the carheramen, projection
lists, studio carpenters and allied
crafts, have refused to accept the
producers proposal to reduce wa
ges.
While writer's, directors, players,
executives and technicians accept
ed the plan to work eight weeks at
half pay, with some qualifications,
they were to meet again today to
reconsider their decision in view OF
the refusal of the organized trades
to accept the cut.
Should the creative artists num-
bered among the five branches of
the industry continue in their de-
,cision to carry on, the union wage
difficulties will be referred to a
board of arbitration, under which
a decision might be reached with

Republican, has weathered every
political vicissitude for 40 years.
Rodgers, who still retains his

Of sergeant-at-arms of the house
and retained the post until the in
flux of Democrats in 1881. Though
they gave Rodgers job to q Demo-

retained in the employ of the

of representatives has seen during
the past 40 years, whether Demo-

SYRACUSE, N Y, March 10. U.R)
"Jig-saw puzzles are popular be-

Prof. Harry w Hepner, Syracuse,
university psychologist, declared
here recently. perhaps if a high
degree of mentality were required,
their popularity would not be SO
great"
Professor Hepner believes the
current jig-saw puzzle craze is like
the yo-yo fad of few years ago
in that both grew up because of a
desire for some activity to aid in
forgetting momentarily ones per-
sonal difficulties and problems.
"Putting jig-saw puzzles together
is just like scratching the head
as temporary relief from a diff
Guilty, only lasts longer" he de-
clared. 1T is not play, for there
is no play motive present. 1t is
merely an escape from reality, and
furnishes the satisfaction that
would be realized from the solution

WidoWs Of Man

Two courts have pronounced two
different women the widow of Irv-

medal for bravery here May 8, 1881,
when he died in the rescue of men
from a gas filled ditch at the
Shenandoah Rayon corporation
plant.
A posthumouS award of a bronze
medal and $50 monthly was to be
made to the widow in consideration
of Merrill's bravery.
A recent decision made in COM
pensation court pronounced Mrs.
Mabel Merrill Davidson, Philadel-
phia, the widow but the case was
reopened at the request of attor-
neys appearing for Mrs. Margaret
Regan Merrill.
In the first decision in FEBRUARY,
1882, the court held Mrs. Mabel
Merrill Davidson was the legal wi
dow on the date of Merrills death.
The case was reopened but the Sec
ond decision bore out the first.
Another phase of the case was
tried in surrogateS court some time
ago. That court declared Mrs.
Margaret Regan Merrill the widow
and from that decision Mrs. Mabel
Merrill Davidson is appealing to
the appellate division in Rochester.
