WORK
AT GREENBELT

GREENBELT, Md, April 1.
Construction work on Greenbelt,
Federal Resettlement low-cost
housing project near Berwyn
Heights, Md, which came to a vir-
tual Standstill several weeks ago
because Of bad weather and a lack
of ready cash for the pay rolls, is
scheduled to start today.
Several months ago, the Govern
ment began periodic lay-offS of
laborers as the work progressed
until the original force of nearly
5000 men working during the fall
had been cut to about $500 in
January. After the heavy snow
two weeks ago, practically all out
side labor except trench digging
and grading was stopped. Tomor-
row, it is likely that less than
1000 workers will return to the
project.
The project, which is to consist
Of 1000 homes to house 1000
people, was originally scheduled to
be completed by July l, but Off
Gals yesterday indicated that only
one of the five sections of the
model town would be ready for
occupancy by that time.

Francis E. Roche and pretty Ber-
nice Kennedy, of the Interior Pur-
chasing Office. Encircled together
by the Lucky Rings" they will
see the initial conflict from ad-
joining seats in the lower grand

Fate's selection of Mr.. Roche,
who resides at II Bryant st. N. W.,
was quite appropriate inasmuch
as he is a "died.in.the-wool" base
ball fan and seldom misses q game
If he can help it, either of the
major league or sandlot variety.
Otherwise, however, he enjoys
golf and frequently plays on Wash.

Island Ave. N. w., Is a darkeyed
and attractive girl from Bucyrus,
Ohio, who attended business col.
lege in Columbus and then came
to Washington to seek her career.
Responsible for her ambition

the late Representative Charles
v. Truax, Representative-at-Large
from Ohio and a Democrat from
her home town, Bucyrus. Her first
position here was as an assistant
in the office of the Representative.
where she gained valuable ex-
perience in business routine.

den death in 1885, however, Miss
Kennedy was offered an appoint
ment as a Stenographer with the
Interior Purchasing Office, &C.
copied the post and has been en-
ployed there since, having an
excellent record for ability and
long list Of friends. She enjoys
all outdoor sports in leisure hours.

be out to take over the Robins

turn out to be the evenings best
