Representative Dingell was
elected to the Seventy-third Con.
gress when Detroit's Fifteenth
district was created. A Democrat
of unusual popularity, he was re-
turned with the advent of the
Seventy-fourth Congress and now

term on Capitol Hill. He likewise
has two children, John David, jr.,
and James Victor, and at present
is serving on the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Miss Ford is from Royal Oak,

service. After graduation from
high school and business college

Washington as secretary to Sena-

packed the ballroom. and other
hundreds clamOred for admission
outside the doors. 1t was neces-
sary for the founders to seek
larger quarters in a Baptist
church nearby before the meet
ing could begin.
II don't remember ever at
tending a more thrilling, in
spring meeting. From the be-
ginning it was evident that a
real, urgent need had been met
by Mrs. Hearst and Mrs. Birney.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland sent us
an invitation to tea at the
White House when she heard
we we're in session, and we were
all received in the Blue Room.
"It was late in the afternoon
before the meeting adjourned"
FORMER OFFICERS SPEAK
Speakers at the ceremonies last
night included Mrs. L. B. Castell
and Mrs. Joseph H. Saunders,
both past presidents of the Dis
trict body; Mrs. T. H. Young,
chairman Of the program for
Founders Day; Mrs. Walter B.
Fry, current president Of the local
group. and Robert w. Eaves,
principal of the Thomson School.
Elsewhere in the nation today
individual communities will ar
range their own methods of honor
ing the two founders.
In most places, candle-lighting
rites will be held. Trees will be
planted in several communities.
OldSters in the movement today
recalled that Mrs. Hearst, mother
Of William Randolph Hearst, the
publisher, financed the early
growth Of the National Parent
Teacher Congress. She died in
1929. Mrs. Birney was president
of the organization from its in
ception to 1902. She died in 1907.

gency Council. Complaints to
this desk from some feminine as
pirants are to the effect that the
rough draft" section Of the test
was one of those "catch ques-
tions." One girl, always in de-
mand because of her stenographic
ability, smashed out a general av-
erage Of above SO, making 100 in
stenography, 95 in clerical ques-
tions and IS at straight tipping.
She was denied a senior steno-
graphic status, however, because
she made but II on the rough
draft copying.
One of the catches, it seems Is
that competitors were not specifi-
cally told to indent for para
graphs in the rough draft, but
were expected to do so and charged
for errors, according to complaints.
The crying need for establish
ment of some sort of law to aid
Federal workers out of financial
difficulties-by forcible mandate if
necessary-has been demonstrated
at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
A feminine worker, with two de-
pendent children, borrowed from
the bureaus credit union more
than a year ago. Shortly after
ward she became seriously i'll, lost
much time from work and conse-
quently much of her compensation.
Her payments lapSed. OverWrought
and nervous, unable to shed a
growing financial burden created
by conditions, her failure to cur
tail her debt has forced officials
to prefer charges prior to a posi-
BILE discharge declaring that her
promises to meet her contact have
been repeatedly ignored. They also
charge inefficiency.
Were there a law providing that
recognized debts could be deducted
in reasonable amounts from semi
monthly pay checks by disbursing
officers, this employees dire plight
might have been avoided. But
such a statute will probably never
exist.

here tomorrow evening when the
seventy-sixth annual banquet OF
the Michigan state Society will be
held. The entire Michigan dele
cation from Capitol Hill will be
there in time for a reception at
$50 p. m.
-Four outstanding members Of
the society, including Representa-
tive John Dingell of Michigan's
Fifteenth Congressional district,
have taken prominent parts in
arranging for the annual affair,
and are confident of its success.
Mr.. Dingell, a Detroit man who
addressed the convention of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees in his home city
last September, will head the re-
ception committee with Fred
Crawford, a fellow member of
Congress. Alvin r. Meissner,
Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing, heads the finance committee,
and Lucy A. Ford, secretary to
Representative George A. Don.
dero, president of the society, is
director Of the membership COM
.mittee.
LuxfOrd Chairman
Donald L. Luxford, former
Congressional secretary now en-
gagged in the real estate business,
is general chairman of the ban
quet's special committees and
will have the final responsibility.
Mr.. LLxford, who resides at
1926 Nevada Ave. N. w., is a
native of Manistee, Mich, and
came to Washington two decades
ago after graduation from high
school and Alexander Hamilton
Institute. For Is years he was
private secretary to Representa-
tive j. C. Mclaughlin, after which
he entered private business in
1927.
He is a member of the Masonic
order, likewise belongs to the
Shrine, and terms swimming and
photography his chief spare time
pleasures.
Mr.. Meissner, of 35O7 Center St.
N. w., is Detroiter whose resi-
dence in Washington has extended
over 32-year period. After finish
ing his schooling in his home city
he accepted his first Government
position within the Geological Sur
vey of the Interior Department,
but transferred in 1925 to the en-
craving division of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, where he
is now a bank note designer.
Meissner Likes Art
Partially because of his design
ing talent, MeiSsner makes a hobby
of art of all types, and would have
followed such a career had he not

sins Census Bureau, and made a
surprising discovery.
Mr.. Austin classes horse.drawn
vehicles with wheelbarrows!
Reverting to horse and buggy
days was not an unpleasant
thought. Clipping along behind
spanking pair of bays was an
eXhllerating experience, and is a
lovely memory.
But this introduction Of the
wheelbarrow motif into life for
any purpose, except the payment
OF election bets, troubles me.
Particularly since MIR. Austin
says there has been "a pro.
nounced increase" in horse-draWn
vehicles and wheelbarrows in 1885
over preceding years. And strange.
ly enough the production of horse
shoes has dropped notably"
Query: Is the WPA using the
wheelbarrws to ride its workmen
about? Or do the modern horses
pulling the increased number of
vehicles go barefoot?
