Spring Ball
On April IS

Sub-debs, debs and post
debs are all Of a tWitter for
there is to be a spring ball on
Thursday, April 25, at which
the girls who are to be pre-
sented next year will be the
honor guests.
This delightful a f a ir,
which will start with a din
ner at $50 o'clock and last
until the magic hour Of mid
night, will be held at the
Congressional Country Club
under the direction Of Mrs.
Meta King.
Many novel features will
mark the occasion and a
group Of next seasons de-
butantes are coming over
from Baltimore especially
for the occasion.
Mrs. James A. Moffett,
wife of the Federal Housing
Administrator, about whom
only superlatives are used,
is back in town again after
a stay of several weeks
in Palm Beach and Miami,
during which she acquired
one of the deepest tans I
have ever seen. Appar-
emily so that all may see
how richly brown she is, she
is wearing a new hat which
might more properly be
called a bonnet for it sets far
back on her head and has the
general appearance of the
model we have long associ-
ated with the Salvation
Army.
This Menu York matrom
aUhose aUedding to Mr.. Moi
felt took place only a fen
short months ago has, /
am told, the most lavish
collection of furs of any
no M an IN Washington,
ranging from chinchillo to
sable, and valued, If my IN
formant is correct, at
$25O,0O0, and her hats and
gO1Ons are so numerous
she cannot remember ho1U
many she has. Such lur-
ury as this is almost un-
heard of these days and
Just another indication
that "AU's uUeU 4Uith the
world, and prosperity is
Just around the corner"

daughter of Mrs. Albert G. Simms, to
Mr.. CORTLAND D. Barnes, jr., son of
the senior CORTLAND D. Barneses Of
New York city.
Distinguished Ancestry
Miss Mccormick, who is descended
from a long line of statesmen and
publishers, which accounts no doubt
for her preference for courses in po-
litical economy and occasional report
ing to "pink" teas and bridge par
ties, is the daughter Of the late
United States Senator Medill McCor-
mick, who was publisher of the Chi
cago Tribune before he entered poll

the end when he alighted and
after gallantly assisting her

Mrs. William Jeffries
Chewing, jr., seemed in a
great hurry when I encoun-
tered her hopping out of her
car in DeSales Street the
other day, so much so she
mistook me for Mrs. Polio.
Never have I seen her look
smarter than in the black
wool tailyored suit she was
wearing.
Her small black hat
"screamed" of Paris (apolo-
gies to Mrs. Blair), and her
shoulder cape formed of
three beautifully matched
silver fox skins was all that
was needed to complete the
effect.
Until tomorrow!

Has Georgetown Home
Her mother. Mrs. Ruth
Hanna Mccormick Simms, car
ried the G. o. P. banner as
Representative-at-large from ILL
nois during President Hoover'S
administration. Since her re-
tirement from political life, and
marriage to Mr.. Simms. she has
spent little time in Washington,
where she has a most attractive
house in Georgetown which is
always kept open for the use Of
any members of the family that
may be here, or close friends.
She prefers life on her husbands
ranch in Albuquerque, N. NJ.
where she shares Mr.. Simms'
enthusiasm for farming, gar
dening and the like.
The young bride-to-be, who
has a farm of her own down in
Middleburg, Va, is devoted to
horses and hunting, an out
growth no doubt of the early
training she received at the
Fermatta School where the stu
dents are said to learn their
three RS on the saddle Of a
horse.
The grand part about all this
is that Miss Mccormick and
Mr.. Barnes, who is a very pop
ular bachelor in New York and
a partner in the brokerage firm
of which his father is the head,
will be married here in June.
That it will be a wedding at
tended by notables from far and
near goes without saying, for
the bride is a great favorite
with everyone.

1880 to 50. 7es 600 in 1893.

1880 to S., 766, 900 in 1888.
Concerning school money he
stated that there is in sight for edu-
cation in this state In 1885, $12,-
soc, 900, whereas sac, 250, 900 had been
requested, leaving $14,000,00O to be
made up. Unless new revenue Is
secured to complete the fund needed
the schools can operate only ia
days, he declared, or only 81 days
on the basis of expenses in 193O-31.
The legal school term is 100 days.
Comparing the cost of education
in the state with the amounts peo-
pie of the state pay for luxuries and
non-necesSitieS, Mr.. Campbell said
that the 1933-N cost of education
$25 ,00O, 900 compared with $4,000
900 paid for hard liquor, and $24,-
100000 paid for beer and wines, a
total of $50, 100000 which does not
include the money spent for boot
leg liquor. The national liquor bill,
he said, was $4,000, 0CO 900, exclusive
of illegally sold liquor.
In the state $40, 600 900 was spent
for tobacco, 100000 for race track
entertainment, an item greater than
the cost of higher education. Am
uSementS took 5000, 900 and auto
mobiles, $50, 000, 900.
He revealed that prssure is being
brought on the legislature by the
U. s. Chamber of Commerce and the
U. s. Junior Chamber Of Com
MERGE to reduce school aid, but
showed that crime in the U. s. costs
$12 ,OOO, 900, 900 annually, and that
racketeering runs up the bill to $24.-
600 ,0OO, 900, while public schools in
the nation cost $1,000, 000,0 900.
Mr.. Canpben asserted that only
so per cent OF the eligible young
people of high school age are in
school, and that from four to six
million young men and womet
from 16 to Is years Of age are Meth
er employed or In school. He said
that this indicated that the ne.d
now is not for less education, but
more.

Hill, and the first billion dollars
necessary to carry this out has al
ready been authorized by congress.
But this work relief plan, which Is
to be submitted for direct cash
doles, will take many months to get
into operation, two or three years,
perhaps, to get into full swing.
Meantime, Uncle Sam will continue
to dish out money for direct pay
ments to the unemployed.
Labor, Population, Banking
Signs are multiplying that the
power of organized labor in the adj
ministrajion is declining. The split
off of the building trades from the
A. F. of L. will, 1t is predicted here,
result in four major labor organiza-
tions instead Of three, and may re-
suit in new and youngsr leaders
gaining control of the Federation.
Meantime, it is reported, the ad-
miniStration is considering Offering
legislation to prohibit any sort of q
strike for any cause on any public
works project.
The administrators housing pro-
jects are all tangled up, and new
measures consolidating all the bu-
reaus concerned into one, with q
broader and more workable pro-
gram, are looked for.
Those on the inside Of things
take very seriously the presidents
announced desire to redistribute
population, taking millions OF peo-
pie out of the big cities and putting
them back on the land.
New banking legislation, Is in pre-
paration, intended to give federal
reserve board greater power, and to
force banks to more liberal lending.
Power Companies Aim
Administration insiders say that
all Of the hullabaloo about power
companies isn't aimed at operating
companies, the ones that actually
make and sell the "juice," but at
ew-only a few-holding compan-
les. The presidents announced in
tention to make electric current
available on every farm is now be-
ing taken to mean that government
will aid private companies to extend
their lines and to sell their currens,
except for "yardstick' projects like
that In the Tennessee valley.
Don't look for balancing Of fed
eral budget before 1897, II then. In
come can't exceed outgo unless new
taxes are imposed, and inclination |
now Is 10 let the tax question alone. |
The presidents budget" message,
calling for billions for work relief, |
puts an end to many rosy dreams.

w. e. A. President
Stands By Schools
Education Less Than Quarter Of
States Expense, He Explains
In Detailed Talk

I Drawing for his listeners a clear
picture of the financial condition
which education today is in, e. w.
Campbell, Renton, president OF the
Washington Educational associa-
ton, delivered an interesting and
informative discussion of education
al financing to visitors who met at
the banquet session of the Four
County Council Wednesday evening
at Brewster.
Using charts to illustrate his
points, Mr.. Campbell showed his au-
dience that there exists q surpris-
ing Lack of accurate information
among the public on school financ-
ing, and that most people have been
led to believe that schools receive
larger portion of the states in
come than they actually do.
Explaining the variance in Stavn
aid for schools he pointed out thar
the ratio of state support in 1907
was 70 per cent, decreasing to 26
per cent in 1888, and increasing to
SO per cent last year. Variance IL,
the per pupil valuation of school
districts also was shown, Mr.. Camp
bell explaining that the richest high
school district in the state had a
valuation OF $124,6O0 per pupil, and
the poorest district a valuation OF
$606 per pupil, ratio Of 2G5 to l.
Grade school districts differed In
per pupil valuation from $44,693 for
the richest, to 5000 for the poorest
difference of 76 to /. The aver
age valuation for the state is &c.
SAT per pupil.
Percentage Low
Comparing the ratio of cost OF
government of Washington, he ex-
planned that in 1930-31 total govern
ment expense was Sal ,000, 900, witt,
$35 100000 going to education, OF
24.7 per cent. In 1933-34 the total
amount had decreased to $117,O0N. :
COO, of which $25 100000 was spent
for education, or 21.4 per cent.
Mr.. Campbell also showed that
property taxes provide the greatest
portion of school money. Opera
ton of common schools in the state
cost $28, coo, 900 in 193O-31, he said
cut sharpely SIS, 100000 in 1933-34
Economy was effected by reducing
teaching staffs, postponing pur-
chase of books and supplies, and
not keeping buildings in condition
Teachers salaries have been cut
until in 1933-34 the average was
500 a month for the 1000 teachers
employed. However, 2,342 were
working for SIS or less month
1,275 for $57 or less, 543 for $50 OF
less. and % for $25 or less mont.1
Explaining the sharp reduction in
warrant Indebtedness marked up by
schools last year, Mr.. Campbell ex-
planned that the heavy tax pay
ment, induced by the cancellation of
interest on delinquent taxes, had
turned back to the schools money
they had for years been unable to
secure. The slow tax payments are
reflected he said, in the fact that
warrant indebt edness for the
schools jumped from $4,000, 900 in
