THE MONSTER PARADE

One of the largest pageants of march
ing citizens ever staged in the writer's
experience here. was put over Sunday
afternoon by the Roosevelt Garner Club.
in commemoration of its first Anniver-
sary. The parade was the first one
that did not require a Gordon of police
to keep it in order. and the marchers
were made up of the maiu body of our
substantial citizens in all walks Of life.
Rank after rank of workmen from the
different trades. nurses, first aid relief
corps, women 10 the whitest of white
dresses, men in their full regalias of the
different orders. and all with banners.
American flags and the usual enthusiasm
of a serious band of determined Demo-
Gratis. The banners lauded all the lead
ers of the National parry from the Presi-
dent to our able District Judge, and
were entirely free from the slightest
show of any but the fairest of fair play.
1t was a won ierful. wholesome out
pouring, and the man who tried to
thwart such body of citizens Friday
night. reckoned without his host. Long
live the spirit of the Roosevelt Garner
Club and its worthy members.

HOUSE MEMBERS
T0PUSH OWN BILLS
With Many Facing Re'elec'
ton in Fall, Home Folks
Are Remembered.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some of the more than 400 House
members-all of whom face re-elec-
ton next Fall-are becoming pretty
insistent that consideration be given
their private little bills.
Although this is the second session
of the Seventy-third Congress, the
private calendar has not been reached
since the Seventy-second Congress.
In the meantime, the always rather
formidable looking list of individual
bills has grown steadily until there
are Is pages of them awaiting con-
Sideration-268 to be exact.
Most of them read simply, "A bill
for the relief of (John Doe)," perhaps
to pay his hospital expenses in con-
nection with being hit by Govern
ment vehicle or something.
One, for instance, reads: "A bill
to reimburse Sarl v. Larkin for in
juries sustained by the accidental dis
charge of a pistol in the hands OF q
soldier in the United States Army"
But these little bills. while not de-
signed to weigh heavily on the policies
of the Nation, are of considerable i'm
portance to the individual members
who have gone to bat for their con-
stituents.
With the session slipping rapidly
away the pressure has become so
great that the leaders have promised
to take up the private calendar this
week-provided, of course, that some
major measure doesn't get in the way.

Behind the success Of many q new
Government official, believes Miss
Frances Robinson, you will find in his
office some unassuming woman who
knows what It's all about and carries
on"
The youthful feminine assistant to
Hugh S. johnson, N. r. A. admins
traitor, whose salary Is almost as big
as that Of her boss, gave this view
last night in a nationally broadcast
radio address.
Speaking particularly to and about
women, Miss Robinson declared that
when the present emergency is over
"there will be a sudden realization
that it was the women who imple-
mented and enforced the economic
and social revolution of the new
deal"
Credit Given Women.
After suggesting to women that
they carry on by refusing to do bus1-
ness with people who do not do busi-
ness with the Blue Eagle" she as
serted that, after all, 1t was the

Eagle and then kept him aloft"

could be found in his office-she
added a line about women exerting
their new freedom and asked:

"You will find in practically every
branch Of our own Government, she
said. "an able, conscientious woman
who really runs the particular office.
She rarely has the title. But she is
there just the same, patiently. ably,
self-effacingly performing the service
for which somebody else gets the SAL
ary and honor.
Perhaps some of you have Won
dered how politicians, lifted sud-
denly from obscurity can carry on the
intricate affairs of highly techni-
cal Government job. There is no mys-
tery. These translated gentlemen
have not, by magic, become genii OF
finance or craftsmanship, but they
have found in their new Offices some
unassuming woman who knows what
its all about and carries on"
After reviewing the activities of
various women connected with the
Government. including Secretary
Frances Perkins and Mrs. Nellie Tay-
loe Ross, director of the mint, she
concluded:
In spite of the present tinid ten
