Progress Is Revealed.
When Wilson first entered District
service as secretary to the Board Of
Public Charities. there was a deter
mined movement for development Of
modern welfare agencies, resulting
from widespread dissatisfaction with
inadequate public facilities. At that
time there were but three District in
stitutions in this class as they now
are known. The problem then ap-
peared as staggering to officials of
those days as does the emergency re-
lief situation to present officials.
Beginning in 1900. records of the
District welfare agencies reveal the
progress that was made during the
past "a years. In successive years
steps were taken for the development
of the tuberculosis Hospital, Four
teenth and Upshur streets: the Home
for Aged and Infirm, at Blue Plains;
the Industrial Home for Colored Chill
dren. the District Work House, at Oc-
coquan, and the District Reformatory.
at Lorton, Va: Gallinger Municipal
Hospital. National Training School for
Girls. at Muirkirk, Md; the District
Training School. in Anne Arundel
County, Nd, and the more recent
development of Emergency Hospital.

atorium, enlargement of the District
Jail, and other modern institutions of
the District.

RETURN Of JOB
] To DONOVAN

Two delegations of NRA workers,
representing both union and non
union members, called on the
Labor Advisory Board today to
protest against the discharge Of
John Donovan, president Of the
MIRA union.
To each delegation William

Federation of Labor and acting
chairman Of the advisory board,
pointed out that that body was
powerless to reinstate the custer
worker.
Boyd Heads Delegation
The non-union delegation was
headed by Matthew F. Boyd, code
advisor, and represented the tech
nical employees, who feel that Mr..
Donovan should be reinstated, he
told the advisory board.
II Mr.. Donovan was discharged
for his union activities, as has
been charged, Mr.. Boyd pointed
out. the NRA is guilty of violat-
ing the National Recovery Act.
Mr.. Green stated that while he
does not know Mr.. Donovan, he
had received reports that he did
good work. Mr.. Donovan was dis
missed for inefficiency and in
Subordination.
Has No Jurisdiction
Mr.. Green pointed out to the
delegation that the advisory board
has no jurisdiction over the Dono-
van case, as it was named to act
solely on code matters.
The second delegation repre-
Sented the union employees and
consisted of Henry Rhine, chair
man, JeSsica Buck and Harry
Weiss.
They stated they had been sent
to ask just one question, if the ad-
viSory board had the power to re-
inState Mr.. Donovan. Mr.. Green
again replied that it did not, and
the delegation left.

Ball Game

Old-time baseball is back.
That's the kind of baseball
where a one-base hit means a
drink of beer to the hitter, a two
base hit is a schooner, a three
base hit is a drink Of whisky,
and a home run is a party.
A number Of liquor dealers in
nearby Prince Georges county
yesterday held their first picnic
on a baseball diamond in Mount
Rainier. No one knows how the
game ended, but they insist the
score was a tie when Prince
Georges county police made a
circuit of the bases in automo-
biles and cleared the field.
AS a result, Joe Moran, presi-
dent Of the Prince Georges

for a team he promises to pitch

FOrty-SeUen Families
SUPPLIED With COlDs.

Through the facilities of the st. Louis
county poor commission, AZ milk
COWS have been distributed to families
in the northern half of the county who
are either on relief or bordering on
relief, it was learned from Walter
Either, relief director.
The dairy cattle being loaned to the
farmers have been secured in the
drouth areas of Minnesota and are
selected and made available by the sub
sistence cattle division of the state
emergency relief administration.
According to Mr.. Either the aim and
purpose of the subsistence cattle pro-
gram is TO make it possible for families
to have their own milk supply rather
than depend upon outside sources.
Care is taken in the selection to secure
animals that already are producing
milk or else are due to freshen this
fall or early winter. Application fol
subsistence cows should be made
through the poor commission office al

of leadership in the restoration OF en-
ployment and prosperity to the range
by first and Immediately making sur
vey of the resources of the territory,
and then acting on the results of that
survey.
1--WE know there are millions of tons
of low grade ores in this territory that
have a real value, if properly used. 1t
is and ought to be the business of
governmental agencies to develop their
use and to point the way to their
profitable production and marketing.
at is not impossible, and I propose
to use every effort to convince the de-
partments having these matters in
charge of the necessity of making use
of the scientific and other means at
their command to bring about these
results. The ores in question probably
have a hundred uses-it remains to
find what they are. That, I am sure,
can be done-and should be-
He is of the opinion that criticism of
the use of labor-saving machinery by
the mining companies, while a natural
reaction INDUCED in by most of us,
nevertheless avails little and con-
tributes nothing to the solution of the
problems We live in machine age,
and the use of machinery is not
necessarily an evil in itself, though the
failure to properly distribute the bene-
fits resulting therefrom might be so
characterized, he said.
1.-The cooperation of the mining COM
panies," said the congressman, would
be of estimable value in working ou5
methods of handling and converting
these ores into merchantable products.
I hardly believe the companies are un-
interested in the difficulties of the people
of the range. On the contrary, I
assume that they would contribute
whatever they may to the rescue of
their former employees from the con-
ditions of poverty in which they now
find themselves.
"The wood conversion plant at Clo-
quet has proved success, and points
the way to an expansion of that
business, and an increase of gainful
employment. In view of the fact that
there still remains large amount of
timber adjacent to the range territory,
there is no reason why numbers of
similar plants could not be created
with decidedly beneficial results to the
whole territory.
"a great deal of experimenting by
governmental agencies and private in
terests has ben done in connection with
the practical use of peat, Congressman
Hoidale continued, land some interest
ing facts regarding the value of these
deposits have been developed. The
range country possesses millions of tons
of peat, and there is potential de-
mand for all of it as fuel and for
other purposes right here in Minnesota.
To put it on the market-to convert
the labor employed in its production
into money-it will be necessary to en-
list the governments aid, and that I
propose to initiate by interesting the
proper departments in collating the
facts and results of the experimental
tions which have been carried on for
some time"

Snow Preserves Berries

Much of the food supply of the bird
inhabitants of the forest areas In the
heart Of the Ural mountains in north
eastern Europe consists of berries of
the previous seasons crop. The snow
comes so quickly after the berries have
ripened In the short summer season
that much of the fruit is covered with
snow, either on the bushes or where
1t has fallen on the ground, before 1t
can be harvested or has time to decay.
The snow serves as preservative and
when 1t begins to melt away in the
early spring the berries are just as fit
for consumption by the birds as when
they were first covered.
