RELIEF CH|SELERS
DUE TO FEEL AK
Hopkins Says Rolls of Ma.
tion to Be Purged Be-
fore Winter.

A drive to rid the Nations relief
rolls Of "chiselers" before the advent
of Winter. has been started by the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
tion, Relief Administrator Hopkins
revealed yesterday at press con-
ference.
Definite instructions have gone to
field representatives throughout the
country, Hopkins said. to cut down
the relief rolls to the families actually
In need.
I'VE are going to tighten the relief
machinery to go into the Winter" he
declared.
Sporadic reports of "chiseling" on
relief have trickled into the Relief Ad-
ministration throughout the Summer
from all sections of the United States,
and Hopkins indicated his determine
ton to put an end to this practice.
Case Workers to Check.
Elimination of the "chiselers" will
rest almost entirely on the case work.
ers-the investigators who check the
applicants for relief. In many in
stances they will be required, 1t was
said, TO 60 back over the field and
make a more careful investigation Of
the relief clients to determine whether
they are actually in need of Govern
ment dole.
Hopkins said the first definite fig-
ures he has received showed $3.50, 900
persons got some form of relief in
July, the total being slightly under
the 100000 estimate previously
announced. In that month the relief
cost the Government $l32,000, 900.
The 3,830,000 total represented, In
addition to families on relief, 525, 900
single persons and zoo, 900 transients.
The average cost per family, it was
said, amounts to about $23 month.
Living Costs Cited.
Hopkins, however, pointed out that
the rising cost Of living, especially
foodstuffs, is destined to increase the
relief allotments. Relief officials, how
ever, believe that elimination Of the
"chiselers" may Offset the increased
expense due to the rise in living costs
Hopkins cautiously lodged all ques-
tions relating to Upton Sinclair,
Democratic nominee for Governor OF
California, and his famous Epic"
plan for ending poverty in that State,
and devoted the major portion Of
the conference to a discussion Of the
relief administrations program for
killing and canning cattle in the
drought-stricken areas.
Due to the feed situation, Hopkins
carrying out the program. Every COM
mercial cannery in the United States,
he said, would be given an opportunity
to participate in the huge canning
project on q contract basis He ex-
planned the Government would at
tempt to purchase all cattle in the
country that cannot be fed with the
available feed. t,..

But the proof of my thesis is this:
The brides uncle is j. Hamilton
Lewis, Democratic whip of the SEN
ate; the bridegroom's father is Con-
necticuts erstwhile Senator and all
time Republican. Wonder what they'll
talk about when the family gets
together for Christmas dinner.
Merit to loue, the most torcetul
factors in forgetting party politics
are, in the order of their tmpor-
tdnce: poker, bourbon, and, right
notD, the Liberty League. The most
permanent factor, of course, is just
plain horse sense.
The wise Washingtonian, surveying
the current scene at any given mo-
ment, reflects that the political pag-
cant is a procession always on the 60.
And decides: "I'll choose my friends,
and keep them, please God, no matter
who is in residence at 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue"
Among these wise men-and wom-
en-are Mesdames Cummings and
Britten. Mrs Cummings husband is
the Attorney General Democratic) i.
Mrs. Britten's spouse is Chicago's
Representatives Fred Britten CRepub-
lican). But they like each other, so
what's the difference?

SCALING OF ALPS
TOLD BY WOMAN
Mrs. Underhill Relates How She
Mastered Grepon and
Hatterhorn.

Miriam O'Brien Underhill. a native
OF Washington and conqueror of the
boldest mountain peaks of Europe
and America, returned to this city last
night to describe some of her ad-
ventures of the past two decades.
Mrs. Underhill is the daughter of
Robert Lincoln O'Brien, chairman of
the Federal Tariff Commission.
Speaking before a meeting of mem
bers Of the National Geographic So
ciety, Mrs. Underhill recounted her
step-by-step march up the sheer sides
OF such peaks as Grepon and the
Matterhorn. The former, she said, is
one Of the most difficult peaks In the
Alps, while the latter Is Europe's high
,St mountain. She was the first wom-
an to reach the SUBMITS of these
mountains without the aid Of q guide
or man companions. Mrs. Underhill
illustrated her lecture with motion
pictures and lantern slides.
The woman climbers expeditions
have not been confined to the Alps.
She and her companions have scaled
sea cliffs along the New England
coast and the difficult heights in
eastern and western mountain ranges
of this country.
Born in Washington while her
father was here as correspondent for
the Boston Transcript, Mrs. Underhill
was taken to. New England to live
when she was years old. It was in
the Great Mountains Of Vermont that
she started climbing at the age of Z,
and when she was Is her mother in
troduced her to some real peak scaling
in Switzerland.
Mrs. Underhill is now q resident Of

COPELAND bLAMES
CITY FOR DEATHS
High tuberculosis Mortality
Rate Laid to Lack of
Hospitals.

Washington's rising tuberculosis
death rate, now the fourth highest in
the country, "is the direct and ines
capable result Of the city's failure to
provide adequate hospital facilities, -
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York, said today in a statement issued
through the District tuberculosis
Association, Of which he Is a director.
The former New York City health
officer praised the association, how
ever, for its long and successful fight
to obtain the Children's tuberculosis
Sanatorium at Glenn Dale and the
new adult hospital, to be built out of
public works funds.
ut was inevitable that so long as
this city could not provide modern
hospital care for its active cases Of
to prevent the rise Of the tuberculosis
death rate would be relatively tneffec-
tive" Copeland said. 1T has been
well known to physicians and to other
large cities from experience that for
every active case of this disease, there
are numerous contacts and that for
each death from this cause there are
at least nine existing cases of tuber-
culosiS.
Hence the utter absurdity Of hop
ing to combat the rising tuberculosis
death rate successfully without ade-
quate hospital facilities and the means
of having the active cases hospital
lied. The wonder is that the death
rate has not gone far higher than it is.
''i want to see the tuberculosis
Association given a big vote of con-
fidence in this community for what
it has done toward getting the needed
health and hospital facilities for Wash
ington, now at last near at hand"
