pWA FINANCES AfDS-WpA IS QUITE A DIFFERENT
 AGENCY
 Waterbury, Conn. Feb. go, le30.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 I note that occasional reference of the press tend to confuse the WPA program with the Public Works Administration. The Public Works AdmlnistrAtion's program consists of aiding and financing the construction of projects involving over 9SS,000, such as public builds ings, WaterWorks, SeWer systenas, and other projects Of Q permanent nA. ture. The Public Works Admlnis- tration does not, itself, construct these projects but makes grants to state and political subdivisions to the extent Of 4B per cent 0f the cost of the project, tho political subdivision itSelf supplying tho bal. anee of b6 per cent.
 These projects are eonstFuetod under private contracts in conform. ity with ell applicable laws and ordinances in each locality and awarded after public advertising to tho lowest responsible bidder and are carried out under the direction Of architects and engineers repre-. senting tho political subdivision, with inspection by the Public Works Administration to see that plans and specifications for the project are fulfilled. All labor on PWA projects is referred by the National Unemployment Service.
 The Works Progress Administra. ton operates in another manner and the general public is frequent. " confused by reference to the WpA on projects which are being financed and have been approved by the Public Works Adminlstra. ton. ! realise that the letters des- ignating these administrations are 90 similar that unless the newspa- peFs accurately report these initials the public will make little distine- ton in their program.
 ! would therefore, greatly appFe- eiate it # you could aid us with your newspaper in preserving these distinctions 90 that in reporting any projects of the Public Works Ad. ministFation the initials PWA will Do used throughout the story and ln It's headlines rather than tho initials WPA end assume the WpA would appreciate the same consideration with respect to their own projects.
 Thanking you to give this matter space in your paper, ! am
 Sincerely yours,
 W. !. FARLEY,
 state Director (R. I. c oenn.)

Restless Mandates

The whole question of mandates Is coming rapidly to the front The nations mandate arrangements have begun to speak out for revision. Enlightened Statesmen in England and elsewhere urge the need of revision. The mandated peoples themselves are growing restive and threaten to throw off foreign rule. The latest furry based on this Issue Is found in the syrian disorders which tho French government suppressed with troops, planes and tanks.

1T you would like to have . leok at c truly radical conception Of hu. man society," you would do well to read "out of the Night" by F. !, Muller.

 His weapon, continues PEosessog Muller, iB eugenlee. But pEesesseF Muller is not talking os eugenies n the rodlnaFy Benss-steFllisation Of idiots and criminals, possession Of q doetor's certificate hy prospective brides and bFidegFoonis, and 90 on Ills idea of sugenies compares with the current ideA as sulphuFie Aeid compares to vinegar.

He suggests pFopa' gatlon by artificial inseminatlon with our greatest men becoming the fathers es hundreds, even thous sands, Of children. Thus, he says tho race can co lest realise its ewE potentialisisa.

CHARTER DEMANDS
W0MEN'S RIGHTS
Joint Conference Group Asks
Unity for Removing Dis.
ordinations.
By the Associated Press,


A proposal for q women's charter,
demanding full political and civil
rights, was issued yesterday by the
Joint Conference Group OF Women IN
the United States
The charter. released from the ONCE
Of Elizabeth Christman, secretary,
called on women of this country to
"join together in removing discrim-
nations and in achieving full oppor-
tunity in education and in work"
"Women's organizations are expected
to work together for legislation max
ing the charter effective in their own
nations and to join in submitting 1t to
the League of Nations and the Inter-
national Labor Organization at their
1887 sessions" Miss Christman said.
The Joint Conference Group, COM
posed of "a representatives OF women's
civic and educational organizations.
asked that the charter be studied by
women's organizations for eventual ac-
tion at q national conference in the
Spring.
Rumors Of its provisions recently
brought opposition from Elsie M Hill,
National Woman's Party leader, who
criticized what she termed the char
ter's inequality in advocating differ
ent laws for men and women in a So
ciety where they live and work side
by side"
