had its heavy winter draperies and
dark upholstered chairs removed In
favor Of sheer yellow curtains and
crisp looking yellow slip covers over
apple green chairs.

the orchestra dais spiashes a re-
freshing tune. Ferns and blooming
plants grow about the pool, sur
rounded by stone walk and grass.
Grill work around the walls has
been stored away, and vines and
ivy trails from baskets hanging on
the wall from wrought iron baskets.

ment. Dinner is to be served from

For those staying over until

portunity to meet the race partici-
pants.
Most race spectators carry along
their own lunch baskets. Those
who have parking lots and boxes
take thermos jugs of cool drinks
and appetizing lunches, satisfying
but dainty. The club is arranging
to pack such lunch boxes for men,
bers and guests.

Ban
for Employed
Brings Attack
Voters L e a que Study
Declares Attitude
Fascist.

Americas attitude toward women
and employment, which the Ma
tional League of Women Voters
considers characteristic of that
philosophy OF government which we
know as Fascism" is dangerous
enough to present a real problem
to women, the league believes.
Under direction of Mrs. Edith
Valet Cook. New Haven, Conn. Yale
law school graduate, the league has
prepared a special study, which is
% be brought before Indiana
leagues by Mrs. Paul Ford. Ko-
komo. Mrs. Ford is the new gov
eminent and legal status of women
committee chairman of the Indiana
league. appointed at the recent
state convention at Culver. Ind.
The report warns that employed
married women are facing a serious
crisis, threatening the social and
economic position of the women
themselves, the integrity of govern
ment service. and the preservation
of efficient conduct of private bust
ness.
Efficiency Is Threatened
1--WE, in this country, are not
immune, in spite of our democratic
nom Fascist institutions, the analy-
sis says. In many cities through
out the country, school boards have
adopted a definite policy against
the employment of married women
teachers, and similar attitude has
been taken by state and municipal
officials in some sections toward
the employment of married women
in any government positions"
such a policy not only is a
grave injustice to the women con-
cerned, but a serious threat to the
efficiency of the government service,
because in the conduct of that
huge enterprise the widest possible
latitude of choice is needed to find
the best qualified persons. To
eliminate a large group of the pop
ulation, such as married women,
from the field of choice is a seri-
Gus blow to sound personnel
methods.
Following reviews of the hardships
invoked by the present discrimina-
tory section of the Economy Act.
the analysis states, Society is con-
cerned because the Federal gov
eminent gives an example to the
states of type of discrimination
which serves to break down the
whole merit system principle"
Blow to Marriage
Opposition to married women in
employment is a step in the di-
rection of depriving all women of
their hard-won social and economic
progress, the league believes.
BY such discrimination, it's an
alysis claims, the Federal govern
ment not only is taking away from
many of it's citizens their right to
work, but sis actually helping to
break down the institution of mar
riage"

that married women. work for the
same reasons that married men do.

report"
The President had intimated at his
last press conference that he would
ask for a s500.00o.00o appropriation

States Conference of Mayors had
asked for $750,000,o00 1t had been

The Vice President made the sug-

The President said he accepted the
proposition with alacrity because of
his congested social calendar and the
knowledge that the Vice President
hates to stay up late. The White
House is giving 10 formal dinners

caused by the fact that the Presidents

LABOR CLASS AID

Expropriating Large Landed

MEXICO CITY, December "a
President Lazaro Cardenas Of Mexico
in an interview reaffirmed his govern.
ment's determination to help Mexicos
working classes better their standard
Of living.
He defended his policy of expro-
priating and dividing great landed
estates because of its benefits to the
people," but assured foreign investors
they need not fear lack of guarantees
in Mexico.
It was the first formal interview the
Mexican executive had granted any

President Cardenas spoke freely and
fully OF the agrarian program, the
new. sweeping appropriation Law,
Mexico's attitude toward foreign cap
ital, the religious question, public
works and government finance.

this feeling had disappeared now that
the law was actually on the books,
and added:
The law tends to let the Govern.

Mentions Daniels Interview.
In conversation recently with
United States Ambassador Josephus
Daniels, the President recalled. he

1T is firing to travel under these

from our hotel this morning. I need
rest. Plenty of rest"
Like dozens Of other statements,
this one was attributed by . press
service to Mrs. Simpson on her trip
through France from Dieppe to
Cannes.
No doubt she was tired. No doubt
she needed rest. But I can say on
direct information that Mrs. Simp-
son made absolutely no statement on
that journey. Knowing her dislike
to be quoted, view with grave sus-
picion any Of the sensational state
ments she supposedly made to the
press since she went to France, ex-
cept for the one released by Lord
Brownlow in which she disclosed her
willingness to give up the King If
necessary.
Scores of other inaccurate state
ments are being made from day to day.
To refute few of them, definitely and
decisively, I sent this cablegram to
Wallis last Sunday:
Greatly appreciate cable immedi-
ately brief answers TO following

preposterous, but need specific corrob-
grafton in order to kill. Give answers

mas.
IS. Was forced prior leaving Eng
land to return large quantity jewels
claimed as crown property.
81. Divorce being pushed forward

IS. Can you give idea how long re-

Her answer should put some of these
rumors to rest and may establish
others.

think she will. you'll know the

new APARTMENT
PLANS APPROVED
Three-Story Structure for
81 CoIored Families in
Alley Drive.

The Alley Dwelling Authority, which
recently dedicated the newly COM
pleted Hopkins place project, an
nounced today its approval OF plans
to construct three-story apartment
house for 81 colored families on a
site extending from Blands alley to w
street. between Second and Fourth
streets.
A low bid for this building was $l12,-
425, submitted by Beauchamp & King.
This is saving of $3l.2l2 on the low
bid submitted September Is, when the
problem was ordered restudied. The
principal change in the bidding was
from concrete to brick outer walls.
The authority said 1t decided on an
apartment house on this site because
1t better suits q local need, and also
because it wished to learn through a
practical test the difference in cost be-
tween the apartment and the row Of
one-family type of dwelling.
Its objective in this development
Is to provide dwellings for an income
group of approximately 1900 a year.

range from $25 for two rooms and
bath to $35 for four rooms and bath.
There will be $25 apartments, 10
$50 apartments and $35 apartments.
Each apartment will be steam
heated. with kitchen and laundry
equipment, gas stove and gas re-
frigeration.
Even without central heat, me-
chanical refrigeration and janitor
service, which an apartment house
necessitates, the average rent per room
per month in BANDS court would be
$685., as compared with the one
family houses in Hopkins place.
Adding apartment house services
brings the BANDS court rentals to an
average of 1885 per room. This is
much below prevailing rents in the
neighborhood. 1t includes operating
costs, amortization. taxes. insurance
and interest on all the investment.
