Four Points to Remember

As colds cause more loss of
time and money than any other
disease, every one should learn
what modern medical science
teaches as to their proper treat
ment. Your doctor has the fol-
lowing objectives:
First-To relieve the conges-
ton in the nose and throat, thus
aborting, or tightening the attack
and relieving the symptoms
caused by the congestion.-Calo-
tabs, the improved calomel COM
pound tablets, accomplish this by
attracting the excess blood to the
bowels.
Second-To help. the kidneys
wash out of the blood the cold
poisons which cause the chilly
sensation, feverishness. aches, and
mean feeling.-Calotabs are diu-

them in Kidding the blood of the
poisons. "

No Central Bank
To Be Formed, Is
Fletcher S View

WARRINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP)-
There will be no serious attempt
in the 74th congress to establish
a central bank in the United
States, replacing the federal re-
serve system, Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher, chairman of the senate
banking and currency committee,
predicted yesterday.
Returning to Washington to
prepare for the opening of con-
gress in January, Fletcher said
he did not anticipate any drastic
bank reform measures. There
may be several amendments, how
ever. clarifying present laws.
"We've passed all the laws that
seem to be Immediately neces-
sary," he said. "This is no time
to consider fundamental changes
in the nations banking structure.
We must wait until we can study
thoroughly the success of admin
istration of laws which we passed
at the last session."
He doubted that there would
be any movement to "do away
with private banking or give the
government jurisdiction and con-
troll over all banking methods"
Any such reforms proposed, he
said, would need considerable study
before any definite plan is adopt
ed.
The securities and exchange
act will not be changed material
.ly, he said, but the deposit insur-
ance laws may be amended to
meet the protest of bankers who
are alarmed over the fact that
there is no limit to the assessment
that may. be made against a sound
bank to provide aid for one which
might fail.
Some favor devoting the income
from the tax on bank checks, es-
timated at approximately $40,-

FIRST WOMAN
HIRED BY NRA
IS HOLDOVER
She's Not administrative
Assistant" But Has "Rob-
bie's" Old Desk
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. Z. CUP
A slender, brown-haired girl -
the first woman hired by NRA-
sits at the desk where Robbie"
used to sit in the days when Gen.
Hugh S. Johnosn was the hard
est man in Washington to see.
Mrs. Helen Elliott doesn't boast
of any title such as "administra-
tive assistant" and that is only
one of the changes that have Ia
ken place in the lair of the Blue
Eagle. Things are quieter now,
but Mrs. Elliott doesn't claim the
credit for that.
Her job is secretary to S. Clay
Williams, chairman of the NRA
governing board. 1t corresponds
as closely as any job down there
does to the one formerly held by
Miss Frances Robinson, who came
into power when Johnson did and
quit when he did.
The most striking difference
between Mrs. Elliott and Robbie
is that the former sticks to her
job of being a secretary whereas
the latter put finger into many
NRA pies. A twist of fate is all
that kept the two girls from hav-
ing their positions reversed.
In the hectic days when john
son was organizing NRA, Mrs. Ell
lott was the first girl hired. John
son Immediately called her in and
started giving dictation in voice
that roared and Embossed a Mag
ara Falls of words.
81 was scared to DEATH" Mrs.
Elliott said, "but 1 got used to
him."
She had been transferred to
the NRA from the bureau of do
nestle and foreign commerce, so
she knew her way around Wash
ington. 1t soon developed there
were to be two big men in NRA |
johnson and Donald Richberg,
general counsel. Hundreds of girls +,
went after the job of being Rich |
berg's secretary, but in the first |
general switch of personnel Mrs. |
Elliott got it. Robbie went to |
work for Johnson.
Their technique was entirely
Robbie believed the
way to keep unimportant people |
from taking up all of Johnson's
time was to say mo" loudly and J
firmly. Mrs. Elliott banked on
tact and diplomacy. In the last !
NRA shake-up Richberg recon-
her to Williams, and, as
a result, she now holds what is
probably the best secretarial job
in Washington.
She has a private office and
decides who shall and shall not
see Williams. And gone are the
days when captains of industry
used to cool their heels outside
the office of the NRA chieftain
for hours and then stomp away,
some choice remarks
about the Blue Eagle and all of
its kin-folk.
Williams is former head of the
that manufactures Cam
Ell cigarettes. Mrs. Elliott smokes
but she denies she chang
ed her brand when she got her
new job. 1t was just a coincidence
she says-a happy coincidence.

SISTER MARY'S MENU
BY MARY e. DAGUE
NEA Service Stan Writer

A FOOD chemist in one OF the
"a state universities has been
experimenting with dates and he
declares that six medium-sized
dates furnish as much working
energy as large baked potato or
three half-inch slices from a bak-
er's loaf Of bread.
Well, dates are rich in iron and
other mine ais, too, so they
are q worthwhile addition to the
diet Of growing children.
Three dates add approximately
100 ealories to dish Of cereal and
many children whose diets are
adequate In the matter Of vita
minis and minerals need extra cal
cries.
Sandwiches FOR the school lunch
may be made with dates and the
children adore them. Make a NIL
ing OF chopped dates and nuts,
moisten with cream and put be-
tween thin buttered slices Of gra.
ham or whole wheat bread.
For q change try dates in place
Of raisins in your rice pudding
favor delicately with cinnamon
and vanilla.
Several salads use dates effec
lively. Chopped apple, nut ant
date salad with French dressing
made with l,mon juice is fine Of
crisp, finely shredded cabbage
Large dates stuffed with a mixtur
OF cream cheese and finely choppe'
salted nuts make hearty bridg

TRAFFIC TO MOVE
BESIDE NEW SPAN
Contract for Calvert Bridge
Expected to Be Award.
ed Soon.
Street car and vehicular trafic will

Street car and vehicular trafiic will
not be halted while the new Calvert
Street Bridge over Rock Creek is
being constructed to replace the pres
ent old span, District officials said
yesterday in discussing the expected
early award of the contract for the
work
Decision as to how this Is to be
accomplished will be left to the con-
tractor, it was indicated, but District
engineers believe there are two meth
ods most likely to be considered.
Under one plan, a wooden trestle
or bridge would be erected alongside
the new bridge. to be used for traff1c.
while the old bridge is replaced.
Under an alternative suggestion the
old bridge itself would be moved to a
nearby position to permit erection OF
the new span in its present position.
This could be accomplished. engineers
say. by placing "skids" under the old
bridge and by neat bit Of engineer
ing skill slide the old structure to a
new position.
Engineers say that because OF the
nature of the three-arch masonry type
Of bridge to be erected they did not
believe it would be possible to build
the new span one side at time. while
traffic used the other half, as was
done in the case of the new Kllngle
Valley Bridge. Such system could
be employed If it were not that the
cost would be greatly increased, engi-
neers say.
Whatever provision is made. the cost
Of the bypass system must come out
of the contractors price.
Bids were opened Thursday and un-
less there Is some hitch, it is expected
the contract will be awarded in the
near future. The contractor is to be
given a period of 18 months in which
to complete construction Of the bridge
The John W. Cowper Co.. with
Offices in the National Press Building
submitted an offer to erect the bridge
for $928,724. District officials say this
is apparently the low bid. This bid
was well below the limit of cost OF
$3.50. 900, set by Congress for the
structure.

terday indorsing the bill, in which
they pointed out that at present per-
sons may hold themselves as skilled
in the law and qualified to advise
clients in such matters as preparing
wills or drawing up contracts. Amend
ments in phraseology were suggested
by the Commissioners. Special pro-
vision Is made in the bill for lawyers

WOULD REMOVE EYESORES.

future architectural treatment OF he
new structures proposed for construc-
ton in keeping with the best build
ings in that vicinity.
The district engineer has estimated
that the annual revenues from the
proposed structures would amount to
about S36.50O. which would be less
than the annual charges. He ex-
pressed the belief. however. that the
Intangible benefits warrant the eX-
penditures."
Spread over a period Of eight years.
the project would cost about 100000
a year, it was pointed out.
The plan of improvement presented
by the district engineer includes COM
mercial development on the pier and
slip system without rail connections
with an area for expansion reserved
In the downstream half Of the water
'front.' OF the existing structures in
this area only four are proposed to
be retained. These are the munich
pal fish wharf. the Capital Yacht
Club building, the harbor police wharf
and. until its replacement becomes
necessary, the wooden lighthouse
Wharf.
Concrete Deck Piers.
Concrete deck piers on wooden pile
foundations were selected for the
steamer wharves and creosoted tim
ber construction for the yachting de-
velopment. Commercial slips would
provide a 24-foot depth. while in the
yachting basins q depth of 10 to IL
feet is proposed An approach chan
mel 400 feet wide and "a feet deep
is part Of the plan.
The cost of the four yachting
basins is set at $751;, 900: of the three
commercial piers At $585 900; Of two
piers for District Of Columbia activi-
ties, $3.50 900. and Of United States
activities, including seawall construc-
ton and provision of temporary ac-
commodations pending completion OF
the construction program, $4,000.
The plan provides for removal of
the District Morgue and the armory
to locations away from the water
front. The Treasury occupies a small
frontage which Is not related to water
front purposes and which would be
relinquished when necessary. it was
reported. Commercial activities now
located on the water front and not
connected with water transportation
would be required to move elsewhere
The district engineer" Maj. Ar
thur said, 'is Of the opinion that the
construction work should be per-
formed under the direction Of the
Secretary Of War and that, upon the
completion Of that work. the admin
istration of the water front properties
should be vested in a Harbor Board
consisting OF the United States dis
trict engineer and one representative
from the District of Columbia and
one from the ONCE OF National Cap
ital Parks.
"The Harbor Board would promul-
gate regulations, negotiate leases. fix
rentals, etc. Except for the municipal
fish wharf and market. which was
constructed with District Of Columbia
funds, all rentals received would be
covered into the United States Treas
ury. and funds for maintenance and
operation would be provided by an
nual appropriations.
