MRS. ROOSEVELT
DELEGATES HOME
Will Be Used by Gonzales
cent Girls Unable to Pro-
vide for Themselves.

Another advance in the growing
order of social science was completed
yesterday when the Thompson-Mark
ward Memorial-the Young Wom-
ans Christian Home-to be used by
convalescent girls unable to care for
themselves following discharge from
hospitals, was formally dedicated by
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
What is a girl going to do who
has been incapacitated?" Mrs. Roose-
welt asked. She is faced with tre-
mendous problem. I do not know of
anything which could be of greater
benefit to the city of Washington than
home for convalescents.
II am great believer in dreams; if
you dream hard enough they often
come true-if they're just somewhat
practical"
80 Now in Home.
The home, located at 235 Second
street northeast, consists OF two wings,
one as living quarters now occupied
by about 80 girls, and a new wing
opened yesterday, which will house
girls recently discharged from hos
pitfalls and unable to care fer them
selves until able to return to their
work or to find work.
Starting as small project, the
home, under the guidance of Mrs
Flora B. Markward Thompson, grew to
its present stage of completion. Mrs.
ThompsonS active interest in girls was
based on her own life. From the time
she was 16 until her marriage to John
w. Thompson, president of the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank, when she
was IS, she had been an employed girl,
supporting a widowed mother
After her death, it was learned that
her will provided for the erection of
the home in its present form, and the
executors yesterday formally turned
over the keys of the building through
George w. White to Miss F. E. M.
Dumbell, president of the board of
trustees.
Expenses Vary.
The expenses of the residents of
the home are dependent on their
earning capacity, and girls who are
incapacitated due to illness or acci-
dent while living in the home will
be cared for with no fear for cost
while unable to work. 1t is believed
also that girls in hospitals, who are
discharged and unable to Immediately
either return to work or care for their
own needs, will be offered the sane
tuary of the home.
The Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, gave the bene-
diction sermon at the formal cut
ting Of the ribbons by Mrs. Roose.
welt, which opened the new wing.
DR.. Joseph R. Sizoo, pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, gave the invocation.
In reviewing the years of effort
since Mrs. Thompson first started her
project in Washington, Mr.. White,
representing her estate, said he was
deeply gratifled to have completed
what he termed trust" from the
philanthropic donor of the home.

Publishers Cite Convenience in Pur-
chasing Newspapers.

NEW YORK. April % (P).-Coinage
and distribution of Scent pieces was
urged on the Secretary of the Treas
ury by the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association yesterday
The need for an intermediate coin
between the 1-cent piece and the
nickel has been recognized by many
lines of business and now is becoming
increasingly urgent. the association
said
Millions of daily newspapers are
now sold at 3 cents, and a Scent
coin would simplify the purchase Of
newspapers and be convenience to
the buying public" resolution
adopted by the A. N. P. A. said.
The resolution pointed out that
postage stamps now are sold for 8
cents, and that many stores price
their goods at such intermediate fig
ures that a 3-cent coin would facin-
tate business operations.

JOHNSON'S OFFERS FULL LINE
~. y OF NEW STYLES FOR EASTER

''Oh, I could write a sonnet,
On your Easter bonnet are the
lines in that popular song hit 1.-The
Easter Parade" and if the writer
had only first seen the smart new
hats at johnson s he could indeed
have written a sonnet on their
spring charm.
Lovely big brimmed straw hats
with Just the right quirk and dip
in the bruins to make their wearer
irresistible, and in the lovelest of
spring colors. G"e obtainable for
that afternoon frock with which
they are perfect.
For tailored wear are those be-
coming and sn1 art off-the-face style
hats or. if one wants brims, brimS
one may have. in clever tailored or
sport models.
Hats were never gayer than this
season or more va ried, for the Eng
lish sailor. the Mexican sombrero.
the Merry Widow. the Chinese Cool
lie hat. pirates hats and the cart
wheel have inspired Partisan de-
signers.
The individual may select the
type best suited to her lnClVlduall-
ty and her gown and from the
smart assortment at johnson S VIII
find Just the easter bonnet she
needs to complement her spring out
fit
While the bonnet is symbol
ical of Easter, a new Easter gown
ADDS to one IS comfort as one joins
the Easter parade. Nothing IS
smarter than the new sheers and
certainly nothing more practical Tor
immediate use in the valley and for
summer use on ones vacation.
Recognizing the need for just such
q costume, johnson s has a special
stock of these Sheers which are eS-
pecially priced for Easter.
EXQUISITE Gowns Offered

of white. or those pere nnial favor
ties, brown with lingerie trimming,
or that always modiSh, black ana
white.
No costume is complete without
correct accessories and johnson s
has laid in a complete stock OF
gloves and handbags to suit the
various outfits. In fact, ia shlon
experts declare that smart acce ssor-
les will rejuvenate an old f.rock

than Rollins Runstop hose which

women are concerned, is lingerie
and johnson s has a particularly

suit seems dark and gloomy and
not Just right for the gay spring
weather, they too are apt to slip
out and make an addition to their

conservative enough so that they
avoid the difficulty Of being ex-
treme. are found at this store

known Hart, Schaffner and Marx
are found in this department.
Somehow a new tie adds zest to
one s suit and Johnson S are fea-
turing the very latest thing in ties
