First Lady as
Little Woman
ON EUROPE
BY HELEN ESSARY

Now that the election is over II
like to print this little tale.
Mrs. Marie Manning Gasch, a
highly reliable writer and racon.
teur if ever there was one, told it
to me.
Mrs. Gasch, who lives in Fairfax
county was riding to Washington
on the bus a day or so after the
election. Two simple sons of the
Virginia soil we're talking in the
seat behind her.
Eve ought to praise the Lord
for a man like Franklin D.
Rusefelt," said one between
chaws Of terbaccy. 81 tell you
I'm plain dumbfOunded when /
think of all the good work he
has done for this world"
"WeH," said his friend, don't
ferget-his little woman amt
been idle neither"
Mrs. Gasch sent this anecdote
10 MIS-. FCOOSSNG4G. Nnlo. 1NOOoC-
velt's secretary, Mrs. Malvina
Schneider, reports that since then
everyone in the White House has
spoken to and of Mrs. Roosevelt
as:
"The Little Woman"
AS a speech maker, Mrs. Roose-
velt has been noticeably idle for
the past few months. She's prob
ably been bored with her own in
activity.
For when she announced at her
press conference that she was go
ing on a lecture tour, her cheeks
flushed pink, her eyes Sparkled,
and her expression grew suddenly
radiant.

Much Damage By Sleet Storm
Brief Mild Period

The weather man still continues to
give us plenty of winter, with snow,
sleet, hail and rain all mixed up
Thursday morning last more snow
came, turning to rain and sleet in
the afternoon and night. Everything
was given heavy coating Of ice,
great damage being done to wire
service of all sorts throughout this
section. The telephone companies
and electric company have had more
than their share of trouble and work
repairing broken poles and tangled
wires, dragged down by the heavy
weight of ice, and have worked long
hours and valiantly IN their efforts
10 restore and maintain service.
The traveller by foot, auto or other-
wise found the going slippery and
dangerous, and numerous accidents
have been reported as a result of icy
conditions.
Friday morning was slippery and
when Old Sol broke through the
clouds in the afternoon he made it
sloppy.
Milder weather prevailed Satur-
day and Sunday making deep slush,
but Old Man Winter was not a bit
discouraged, as more snow came
along Tuesday morning to take the
place of that dissipated by the two
or three days of milder weather.
The mercury, too, began to go
back down in the tube at a rapid
rate. Tuesday night was bitterly
cold, thermometers again recording
the zero mark by Wednesday morn
ing.

Daniel w. Davis, Supervisor of the

pointed to present the Census forms
to business houses and help them fill
out the necessary information. They

Mr.. Davis stressed the fact that
information given enumerators Will
be held in strict confidence. All
enumerators and other persons con-
nected with the Census work Under
drastic Census oath not to disclose
or discuss any information submitted
for Census purposes. He stated that
under the Census law it is a crim-nai
offense to violate this confidence;
that no access to individual report
is permitted, not even to other Gov
ernmental state or local agencies,
and no information will be disclosed
VIII .ch would reveal any of the facts
or figures in the returns. The Cen
sus is the oldest bureau of the Gov
eminent, established nearly $50
wears ago, and never has it been con-
victed of a violation of confidence.

cooperate with the enumerators who
call upon them for business census
data.
Describing the value of the Census,
Mr.. Davis said that from the results,
banks and financial agencies are en-
abled to extend commercial credit
more freely because of more accurate
knowledge of what constitutes sound
operating expenses and stock ratios;
newspapers are enabled ito establish
the consumer market in their circu-
lation fields; wholesalers are able to
make a better appraisal of their I'M
mediate and potential trade terri
expense; advertising agencies can
determine comprehensive and &C
curate markets for various products,

data on their competitive situation,
not only in Their particular field but
also regarding the extent OF other
kinds Of competitive business. Real
estate values, proper rentals and the
basis for percentage leases are fire.
quently determined from business
census data, which have great weight
because they are strictly tactudl
statements without prejudice.
AS fast as reports are received they
are sent to Philadelphia by register
ed mail, where they are carefully
guarded. Five to eight tabulating
cards are punched to record the in
formation on each report, and no
names CT addresses appear on these
cards. The cards are tabulated with
other cards to produce the figures
which are published and become the
recognized basic statistics of bust
ness.
