not far west of the White
House. The walls are SCARED.
u The furniture is old and un-
matched. Maps cover the walls. Tele-
phones ring. Letters pile up to be
signed by the auburn-hai woman at
the desk.
She starts her day at am. She
nibbles belated lunch at 8. She stops
to tell a secretary she will see tex
tile manufacturer at 8 pm.
She has the responsibility on her
shoulders of the $4,000 women who
are on work-relief. Her name is Ellen
Woodward and she comes from Mis-
sissippi. She makes two small con-
cessions TO femininity; she has huge
bouquet of flowers on her desk, and
she likes smart clothes. Her small,
alert figure looks well in that orchid
and white suit.
Holds Fate Of Sisters.
Her voice is gentle and her blue
eyes kind and calm. Perhaps no other
woman in the world today has the fate
of so many of her sisters in the palm
of her hand.
Right now she is engaged in setting
up a huge sewing room which will
employ a great number of these
women. They will turn 150,000,000
yards of cotton in the next six months
into clothes for unemployables on re-
lief rolls. They will work in cities
and towns all over the country where
relief committees have arranged rooms

rolls to works-progress rolls.
Now they can work. instead of ac-

HAZEN ACTS TO END
POLICING CONFUSION
Conference Slated to Work Out
Problem of Jurisdiction
Over Small Parks,

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
moved today to sweep away confusion
between jurisdiction over hundreds Of
small Government reservations and
District roads through Federal hold
ings here, in proposal for exchange
of powers in many cases between
metropolitan and park police.
The subject was discussed at today's
meeting of the Board of Commission
ers and Commissioner Hazen plans to
lay the suggestion before the Office of
National Capital Parks. He suggests
designation of representatives of the
parks office and the District govern
ment to work out details
For this study, he nominates Edward
A. Dent, District surveyor, and John
Nolen, jr., city planner of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion. Others could be added, he said
When Hazen first assumed Office as
District Commissioner he voiced hopes
of eventual consolidation of the
metropolitan and park police, believing
economies and better administration
could be effected. Federal officials in
the past have opposed the proposed
merger, explaining that the work of
park police is different from that of
metropolitan police.

adoX, Williams attributed 1t primarily
to increased efficiency. which permits
employers to produce more goods than
before with fewer men.
Sharing Held Necessary.
UNLESS industry is willing to adopt
deliberately a policy of sharing in
creased business with workers." he
said, there is not much hope of the
workers getting anything out of a
business pickup"
Williams said there had been a drop
in the number of persons on relief,
but he attributed this largely to a
''hard-boiled" policy under which the
rolls were ''combed' of ineligibles.
"As fast as they go from relief to
jobs, We get as many new ones on
relief who have exhausted their saw
ings." he asserted.
I'VE have become pretty hard boiled
on relief" he said. We've reduced
expenditures almost 100 per cent since
June"
He said the problem of unemploy-
ment today is just as serious as it ever
was" despite favorable business indices.
Employment Decrease.
Even the National Industrial Con-
ference Board says there is more un-
employment now than a year ago." he
said Business absorbs new business
without increasing employment. They
get a dividend out of it, but no new
jobs are given. We are not feeling
any benefit as far as most of our clients
are concerned"
Latest figures show total persons on
all forms of relief dropped from a
peak of 20,655,5 ,512. or II per cent of
the total population of the United
States, to 16,128,l63 in July, or 13 per
cent of population. The decline has
been gradual since March, which
showed a little gain over February.
While stressing again that most of
this decline was due to a Government
wedding of relief rolls. williams did
say that gain in employment in the
lumber trade and higher farm prices
had helped take sizeable number of

Mrs. Post Hutton, recently divorced
from Edward F. Hutton, uncle of Bar
bara, the Countess Won Reventlow,
today voiced vehement: lone might
be allowed to stay single!"
She was denying rumor she would
wed Joseph E. Davies, whose wife got
o Reno divorce last week.
'Mr. Davies" she said, "is handling
q tax case for me, and that's ALL"
Wedding rumors had started to fly
again when it was discovered that
Mrs. Hutton was in Washington, reg
istered at the same hotel where
Dayies makes his home.
Mrs. Hutton. when asked if a pub
lished rumor she would marry was
true, sarcastically asked: (which of
four or five published rumors?"
When the matter was narrowed
down to Davies, she claimed him as
an attorney. but not as fiance, and
expressed impatience at the whole
world of rumors.

she felt so proud over the perfection of
their craftsmanship she scooped up an
armful of overalls and went to see a
manufacturer she knew. He ended by
hiring all those women right of the
relief rolls
Perhaps, for her own comfort, Mrs.
Woodward can see too far into the
homes of those without money or jobs.
She feels that each plan, If it involves
only one of the $4,000. may be the
turning point in hitherto unfortu-
nate life. So no letter leaves her Office
she has not seen.

her father, William Sullivan, was Sem

injuries.
According to witnesses the boy
ran across the pavement Of high
way 10 in the center of the town
into the path Of an automobile
driven by Mrs. R. J. White, who
lives on a farm three miles east
of Morton. Mrs. White, who was
driving at moderate speed, the
witnesses said, swerved in an At
tempt to avoid the boy, but he
darted so quickly in front of the
machine that the car struck him
knocking him down, the right
front wheel passing over his
chest.
A passing motorist, Irwin Blume
of Morton, rushed the unconscious
boy to the hospital where he died.
With Mrs. White in the car at the
time of the accident were her six
children and their playmate, Mary
Jane Farrell.
Besides his parents, Harley, .

Although sufficient funds prob

being initiated thereafter by the
Minnesota SERA (State Emergen-
cy Relief ADMINISTRATOR unless
communities benefiting assume
responsibility for their completion
in the event that the work relief
program should be abandoned.
This policy has been announced
by L. P. Zimmerman, acting relief
administrator, in order to safe
guard the investment of SERA
funds in local improvements and
to insure against cessation of ac-
tivities on projects before original
plans have been carried out.
"It would not be logical for the
administration to start any major
work in locality and risk the loss
of thousands of dollars through
happenings that can not now be
anticipated" Mr.. Zimmerman
stated.
New work projects will be ap-
proved only on condition that the

Faithful Old Press Used Over ~ Years
in Publication of Gazette to be Replaced by
Larger, Faster Modern Machine This Week
Millions of Sheets of Paper
Fed Through Press by
Score of Men

For the third time in the 66
years since it was founded, The
Redwood Gazette this week is in
stalling a new press, a Meihle,
which will be used for the first
time in the publication of next
weeks paper.
C. I. johnson Manufacturing
company from whom the press
was purchased recently, will make
the installation starting today
when the old Babcock press, in
use here since 1892, turns its last
turn on this weeks edition.
The new press will be larger
and approximately twice as fast
as the present press and will
handle the new seven column size
of The Gazette with far greater
efficiency. It will be possible
when conditions warrant to furth-
er enlarge the paper to eight
columns, the size of practically
all dailies and some modern
weeklies.
The old press will undoubtedly
be rebuilt completely and sold to
some smaller paper, probably one
which now prints but two pages
at time.
Since the Gazette Increased its
press run past the 5000 mark
last fall, the old press has been
doing more than 5000 turns or
impressions per week since the
Gazette averages more than IL
pages per week and one complete
run is required for each four
pages. At this rate, a years
work on the paper alone is about
100000 impressions while other
work, such as store bills, further
swells the total required of a
press here.
While the circulation has never
before been as large as at pres
ent, 1t Is apparent many millions
of sheets Of paper have been fed
through this machine by probably
score of pressmen in its period
of service.
AS it rumbled through its week
ly task it set down for thousands
of readers, the story of Redwood
Falls greatest period Of growth,
growth for which the ads it
printed were largely responsible

has been completely rebuilt. II

the Brown-Blodgett plant in st.
