BLIND RELIEF

Protests against a proposal to
have the Board of Public welfare
administer the Ellenbogen bill
for relief Of INDECENT blind in

the welfare Of blind persons
appeared before the subcommittee
of which Representative Virginia

man to advocate elimination of
provisions which would authorize
the Welfare Board to use $75, 900

India Boasts It's
Own Starlings

Bird lovers who have been
eagerly awaiting the arrival of
rare species promised several
weeks ago by DIR. William M.
Mann will find, on a visit to the
bird house at the Zoo, that the
good doctor has royalty fulfilled
his promise.
Seven different species cap.
tured in India, Java, Australia
and South America arrived late
yesterday from New York city
with n'er a casualty save the
loss of a tail feather.
TOucanette Largest
The South American toucan-
cite is the largest. Then comes
the East Indian cuckoo and the
startling. From now on father
can stay home nights happy in
the knowledge that citizens Of
East India have starlings the
size and color of a crow. Just
to picture the District Building
populated by East Indian star
lingS is enough to give one the
creeps. It all goes to show that
things can always be worse.
An interesting and useful bird Is
the spider eater from India. His
thick curved beak makes life for
spiders a nightmare.
The Indian titmouse is a tiny

creature which trillS instead Of
sings. DR.. Mann has already de-
cided which is the boy and which
is the girl. Asked how he reached
this important conclusion, he said
the girl took a bath the minute
she was released in the cage. In
bird life, the Doctor says, the fe.
male of the species is cleaner than
the male.
Jays Quite Small
The oriental jays are quite small,
with brilliant coloring. They have
not yet demonstrated their vocal
abilitieS-if any.
The little barbet, beautifully
clothed in orange and black, is
another Indian bird.
From Java comes the "gross
beak," so named because of its
thick bill. This bird eats only rice
and is very common in Java. It
Is similar to our American spar.
row and because Of it's forays on
the rice fields Is destroyed by the
thousands.
DR.. Mann says birds are gener.
ally catalogued in two classes, the
hard and soft beaked variety. The
former live mostly on seed, but
the latter will eat worms, bananas,
oranges, and hard-boiled eggs.

NEW DEAL JOBS
SECURITY SEEN

Administration support for a
law extending the civil service to
the employees of emergency organ
izations appeared assured today,
following a visit to the White
House yesterday by Representa-
tive Robert Ramspeck CD of
Georgia, chairman of the House
Civil Service Committee.
Representative Ramspeck had a
long talk with President Roose-
welt, and left the White House
feeling that the Chief Executive
was strongly in favor of extend.
ing civil service control where 1t
does not exist in Government
establishments.
Representative RamSpeck said
he intended to draw UP a bill
which would give to the President
the power to cover emergency eS-
adjustments into the Civil Ser.
vice wherever this seems to be de-
Sirable.
Under this plan, employees would
be required to take non-competitive
examinations to assure the Civil
Service Commission as to the fit
ness of the employees to hold their
present jobs.
Representative RamSpeck ex-
planned that it is not practicable to
spread the Civil Service stimuli
taneously over the entire field of
alphabetical organizations because
some of them may be extremely
temporary while others may have
some temporary features and
other permanent features.
Representative Ramspeck made
it quite clear that the Civil Ser.
vice Committee of the House has
not endorsed the bill of Represen-
tative William I. Sirovich (D.) of
New York who has been very
active in proposing Civil Service
reform.

when we turn over the fresh new page of the
year, and write very neatly and carefully our
first days record, has certain charm in all
its - let's not call them superstitions - but
rather treasured traditions that have come
down to us for countless years.
Therefore, we do like to put on something
new, not only in the redulous hope that good
fortune shall bring us new things now and
again throughout the year, but because by
decking ourselves, or our homes, in some
thing as new as the year - something we have
perhaps saved on purpose to wear, or to use
on our table eve make an offering of well
come to the New Year.
And this same New Year spirit of welcome
is shown everywhere in the hospitality for
which this day is noted. Not so very long
ago the first of January was everywhere set
apart as the one day in the year when gentle
men went paying afternoon visits in twos or
threes together. The inhospitable ladies hung
basket over the bell in which their would-be
visitors were expected to leave their cards and
silently depart. The hospitable hostesses, on
the other hand, made great preparations -
each specializing in particular bread or cake,
her own blend of China tea, her own receipt
for eggnog.
This general visiting by men and staying at
home by hostesses, assisted by their prettiest
young relatives, may still, for all know, be
present day New Year custom in many tradi-
tion-loving communities. But in New York
and in the majority of other cities and towns,
people go to New Year receptions" only

of good health into the eyes,"
The young dancer, Grace Hartman, has
a definite ritual for foot care. Her beauty
resolutions take half hour of her time.
She first puts her feet in warm bath
scented with pine crystals. Then she
thoroughly dries them and applies warm
olive oil, rubbing it in gently until the feet
feel entirely relaxed. Of course, her feet
must be fastidiously groomed.
During the winter months the attractive
young gsongstress, Alice Hathaway Burrage,
has devised her own set of exercises to take
the place of outdoor reGeations. She has
a fiat top table which she adjusts to diff
ferent angles and levels. She lies on her
back on the table and exercises her legs in
the bicycle routine. Forty to fifty times is
checked on her New Years schedule.

The idea back of these simple preparations
is that even should you wait until early New

time to telephone for milk and eggs, plenty
of time to bake cake if the holiday supply is

- and there is your party for the afternoon.

graceful silhouette this way rather than by

this last summer a certain hostess gave what
might be called haphazard party. Without
any regard as to who liked or disliked whom,
she asked merely those who happened to meet
in the village post office while the mail was
being sorted. The result was one of those
nightmare evenings where the quarreling
neighbors and the one divorced couple found
themselves seated together, and the ardent
New Dealers next to the violent Ants, the
highbrows next to morons, the snobs next to
those who most despised them.
Fifteen minutes after their arrival every
one was occupied with the problem of how to
leave without being rude, when suddenly an
irrepreSsible young man we'll call him
Jonesy - exclaimed: Lets all play Going to
Jerusalem" Everybody, looking glum, NUT
tered: "Oh. nor But whether they said it
out loud or to themselves mattered nothing
to Jonesy, who ordered: "Stand up. please"
and took all the chairs of those who stood
and put them down the middle of the room,
commanded concert player to "strum a
march" on the piano, and to Jerusalem half of
those present went.
The next turn included every one and in
less than fifteen minutes stiff, dull and
utterly unmxable party had become almost
a childrens romp. Going to Jerusalem was
followed by Charades and all those who had
been contemplating going home at nine were
still, at two in the morning, guessing or illus
trating syllables.

to encourage the frame of mind that exclaims:
"Oh, yes, lets!" - whether we happen to
have lived fifteen years or fifty. In short,

"Oh-h-h, no-o-oi" lies the wholeroad of life.

HUEY EXPLAINS
PROPOSED BILLS
TO HIS PUPPETS
Only KingfiSh and Allen
Know Contents of 80
Measures.

By United Press
BATON ROUGE, La, Feb. 81
Senator Huey p. Long held another
Of his intimate" sessions with the
House Ways and Means Committee
today, to explain" 80 bills intro
duced at a special session of his
thoroughly dominated Legislature
last night.
No one besides Long and his
Governor, o. K. Allen, knew the
contents Of the bills beyond that
one repealed tax on crude oil that
almost forced the Standard Oil Co.
Of Louisiana to move out Of the
state. Several were believed to pro-
vide for the removal of several
elected state officials unfriendly to
the Long political machine.
Last nights converting of the
Senate and the House was in the
same burlesque atmosphere that
characterized previous meetings.
State troops that have maintained
martial law here Tor more than a
month, guarded the capitol.
The 80 bills were introduced IL
the House en- rnaSse and quickly re-
ferred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee. No one in the House had the
least idea what they were about.
The anti-Long minority objected to
the seating Of four new members
appointed by Gov. Allen, but was
overruled by the chair and voted
down by the majority. The Consti-
tuition does not give the Governor
authority to appoint legislators.
Three appointed Senators also
were seated.
The House adopted a new rule,
giving members OF Congress" the
privilege of the floor. This was to
enable Long to take a more active
part in the body's deliberations
without the minority objecting to
his presence.
