COLLEGE PARK, Md, Sept.
24.-Three sisters attending the
same college at the same time is
somewhat of a rarity, but the
University of Maryland boasts
two sets of them and all are in
the same sorority.
They are the Quirk sisters,
Anna Marie, Betty and Eleanor,
of 1905 Delafield Pl. N. w., and
the Miller sisters of Berwyn, Md,
Betty, Jean and Eunice.
The Quirks are all brunettes
and the Millers are all blondes.
During the past three years the
Quirk sisters have just about
cornered the market on student
government offices. Between the
three they hold memberships in
nearly every organization on the
campus, and list among their
more important elective offices
the presidency of Alpha Omicron
Sorority, vice presidency of the
Women's League, women's editor
ship of the yearbook, women'S
class representative to executive
council, freshman commission
and secretaryship Of the sorority.

REVIVED BY
MRS. DOYLE
New Board President
To Be at franklin
Building Desk

With Washington schools well
under way for their fall term,
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, first
woman president of the Board Of
Education in local history, an.
nounced today that beginning at
once she will keep regular office
hours at the Franklin School
Building.
The practice of keeping regular
office hSurs at the Franklin
School Building has not been sub
scribed to by presidents Of the
board since DR.. Abram Simon was
president in 1922.
Mrs. Doyle's hours will be from
II a. m. to ! p. m. on Wednes-
days and from 3 to 5 p. m. on
Fridays.
Women Outnumber Men
Figures revealed by DR.. s. E.
Kramer, first assistant superin.
tendent Of schools, showed that
women teachers in Washington
public schools outnumber the
men seven to one.
However, DR.. Kramer said, sex
is no determinant in selecting
teachers. Teachers are appointed
according to rank from an elig-
ible list established as the re-
suit of competitive examinations,
he said, adding:
eff a woman wants to coach
a high school football team, and
really knows how, then she may.
And If a man wants to teach
cooking, he may, too, provided
he is eligible"
DR.. Kramer said, too, that one
of the best printing teachers he
has ever known was woman. He
admitted, however, that teachers
are "staying in their places"-po-
sitions more or less suited to their
sex.
For instance, there are no local
women teaching painting, metal
work, electrical work, carpentry,
plumbing, or auto shop-all reg
ular subjects offered in vocational
schools and some in the regular
high schools-and there are no
men occupying positions teach
ing beauty culture, cafe and tea
room training, or sewing.
All teachers are appointed &C.
cording to rank from an eligible
list established as the result of
competitive examinations.
An increase of 1924 pupils in
the District colored schools was

White House Kitchen
Delays Social Season

A social season waits while a
kitchen acquires electrical ap-
pliances.
It's not only "a" social season
that waits; it's "the" social sea-
son. In fact, it's the White House
social season.
Mrs. Roosevelt, in Washington
before going West with the Presi-
dent, has announced that the
formal social program this year
will be delayed until some time
in early December because of the
modernization of the White House
kitchen.
To Take Some Time
Declaring that zone has to get
accustomed to electrical arrange
ments," she said it probably will
take some time until everything
in the White House runs as it
should.
In the meantime, with the
kitchen department. Of the White
House disarranged, the Presi-
dents meals are being prepared
in a tiny kitchen on the third
floor. This third-floor kitchen is
used only in case of illness or
in such emergencies as now exist.
Where do the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt eat these days?
Well, says Mrs. Roosevelt, any
place. The other night, they
dined alone, she says, in her own
private sitting room. The sitting
room was selected, she says, be-
cause the President expressed a
desire for a change of scenery.
Story Is Wrong
The story published the other
day that on the Presidents re-
turn from Hyde Park there wasn't
anything to eat in the White
House was all wrong, Mrs. Roose-

Deputy Administrator, is skeptical
as to its practically.
DR.. Rutland explained that
while his plan is a new one it
has been tried with success in a
number of cities. AS he explains
it, practical housekeepers and
nurses will be registered. Then
when the need arises, when a
husband finds himself in diff
culties and is unable to pay for
help, he calls on the District
Government and is furnished a
housekeeper to bring order out of
chaos, and without cost to him.
Just what the wives will say
to this has not yet been revealed.
A jealous wife coming home un-
expectedly might find a beautiful
blonde in the house with the ex,
planation from friend husband: {:

reduction in the taxes levied is
the main plank in the G. o. P.

 Father Coughlin was the chief speaker at the rally. He promised to organize Michigan automotive workers and he attacked the Roosevelt administration.
 We are not organized to- com pete with the old parties," he said. But we must organize to remove the reactionaries, conservatives and hypocrites who disgrace congress. :"
