Because there are approx
mately 1000 Washington club
women who stand behind the
Florence Crittenton Home, 4759
Conduit Rd. N. W., the inmates
of the institution-unmarried
mothers and their babies-can
90 out into the world and start
life all over again and make
good.
And the wonderful part of it
is that more than 80 per cent of
these unfortunate girls do make
good.
To a great extent the credit
lies with these friends-mem-
bers of the 20-odd Crittenton
circles throughout the city,
without whose assistance Com
munity Chest funds would not
be enough to maintain the
home.
There are 40 outstanding local
women on the board Of the
home. These are the represent
atives of the circles.
Each circle in the District
pays $25 a year to the board.
This money goes to the home.
In addition each separate group
has its card parties, socials, and
other benefit affairs to raise
money to supply luxuries and
conveniences to the institution.
At the election of officers last
spring. Mrs. Thomas E. Robert
son, of Chevy Chase, was elected
by the board as it's president for
the seventeenth consecutive
year. Mrs. A. B. McManuS, OF
l4O5 Girard st. N. W.. the Sec
retary, also was elected to serve
in that capacity for her seven
teenth year.
Other officers of the board are
Mrs. John Boyle, jr.. first wee
president; Mrs. Frederick ~
Kerby, second vice president;
Mrs, George Price, recording sec
retary: Mrs. j. F. Macoughtry,
treasurer, and Mrs. Shannon
Butts, assistant treasurer.
Mothers entering the home
must promise to remain until
their children are six months
old. This is done principally to
protect the health of the chill
dren and because, generally, II
a mother remains with her child
for that period, she will not give
1t up after that.
AS the home does not favor
Adoptions, everything is done to
make it possible for a mother to
keep and support her child,
While the mothers remain in the
home they are given an oppor-
tunity to study. They can study
elementary school subjects, do
mestic science and sewing. After
they leave, the home tries to OBJ
tain positions for them.
Whenever it is possible, mar
rage is arranged, and. incident.
ally. there are frequent mar
riages. When this happens,
those connected with the home
assist the couple to set up a resi-.
dence, even to giving them
shower sometimes. However, #
the husband and father is unem-
ployed, the home allows the
mother and her child to remain
until they can be supported
properly.
Ordinarily there are between
20 and so mothers at the home.
Miss Jean S. Cole is superin-
tendent of the institution, while
Miss Gladys Phipps is it's head
nurse. Some of the city's most
prominent specialists are volun-
teering their services at tho
home and are on its advisory
board.
The two outstanding circles
in the city are the Wesley
Heights and the Florence cir
cles. Other circles are listed as
follows:

the frequent ringing of the bell, CALI
ing 1t dangerous inconvenience"
The bell was first rung July 6,
1776, to call the citizens together to
hear the reading Of the proclamation
Of the adoption of the Constitution.
The Liberty Bell was intimately as
ISOLATED with the continental army.
The bell was taken to Allentown for
safekeeping when the American
forces were about to evacuate Phil
adelphia in 1777.
The Liberty Bell announced the
surrender of CORVALLIS, welcomed
Washington, proclaimed victory and
peace, mourned Washington, well
coined Lafayette, and mourned Frank
lin, Adams, Jefferson, and then Lafay-
Iette. All the great actors in the
drama of independence had passed
from the stage when the great bell
rang for the last time.
July 8. 1885, SO years to the day
after the time of it's historical first
ringing, the Liberty Bell tolled for the
last time and cracked half way up
its side during the funeral Of John
Marshall, chief justice of the Supreme
court of the United States.
The bell was removed from Its
steeple in 1881.
Today 1t is enclosed in case in
Independence hall, hanging from a
heavy yoke supported by two bronze
uprights. The case is Of white oak,
with plate glass panes, and the whole
stands on a movable platform which
can be run out Of the building in case
of fire.
The Liberty Bell is IL feet in cir
conference around the lip and feet,
inches around the crown. It is s
inches thick in the part near the lip
and ~ inches thick in the thinnest
part toward the crown.
The clapper is feet, inches long,
and the entire weight is 2.0S0 pounds.
The bell is girdled by Is narrow
ridged rings, and the edge is mutt
lated by the hacking Of souvenir
hunters in the days before the bell
was put In the case. On its side is
the long crack which distinguishes It
from any other bell in the world.

a FTER several days of hectic work,
4 "A pushing through the last measures
labeled "must" by the administration
and a host of other bills demanded
by various members, the Seventy-third
congress closed its second session
The measures passed during this ses-
sion include some of the basic laws
of the New Deal and considerable
elaboration and modification OF laws
passed last year in addition to the
regular appropriation bills and a nor
NAL amount of necessary routine legls-
lation.
AS In the first session, President
Roosevelt was in full control, though
the legislators displayed more crit
ical attitude and tendency to give
proposed legislation closer scrutiny
before giving it their approval. Tnls
could not be attributed to a lessenlng
of the Presidents influence or OF the
confidence in him, but rather to the
fact that the members of congress
didn't wish longer to be labeled as
Eyes men," On the whole Mr.. Roose-
welt succeeded in getting what ne
asked and in preventing what ne did
not want.
Several measures that had the back
Ing of the administration failed OF
passage. These included the oil bill,
ardently desired by Secretary Ickes !;
the pure food and drug bill, which
never came to a vote; the ratification
of the st. Lawrence waterway treaty !;
and a series of amendments ampli-
flying and clarifying the powers OF
the AAA.
In its closing hours the congress
spent money like water, INDUCING in
what Congressman Britten of Chicago
called ian orgy of spending such as
never has been known in the history
of the world during peace times" The
last of the major bills disposed of
were:
The deficiency appropriation bill,
allotting the President more than two
billion three hundred million dollars
for relief and other emergency pur-
poses.
The one billion dollar housing bill
to promote the revival of the building
trades and of the durable goods in
dustries.
The Frazier bill for relief Of farm
mortgagors.
The bill amending banking legisla-
ton.
The railway labor bill.

The code was consented to, says the
memorandum, ION the express under
standing" that the minimum price
and other trade practice provisions
''were absolutely necessary If men,
bers of the trade were to comply with
other provisions of, the code, including
the limitations on maximum hours
and minimum wages of labor" The
suspension of the minimum price pro-
vision is pronounced "a deprivation
of the primary benefit of the code to
members of the trade, leaving them
only the burdens"
The memorandum states that 81
per cent of the 1000 plant owners
and 175,OO0 to 100000 retail shops are
able and willing to comply with the
price and other trade practice provi-
sions If there is reasonable co-opera-

IN A formal letter, accompanied by

notified the President that it has with

reason assigned for this action is that
Administrator johnson, acting by au-
thority of the President, suspended the
minimum price and other fair trade
practice provisions of the code while
leaving In effect all other provisions,
including those establishing minimum
wages and maximum hours of labor.
The cleaners and dyers say that
