A Dandy Door Weight

There's stiff demand from wis., itors here for the Washington guide book prepared by the WPA federal writers project. Many orders come by mail from those who want to get information on what to see and do here. Usually the purchasers are pleased with the information and dismayed to find their three dollars have bought 1,2OO-page, six-pound volume which can hardly be toucked into vest pocket. The federal writers are glad to point out, how ever, that the book makes a dandy door weight with which td keep hotel room doors open on hot nights.

BOSSING THE BAR
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

In days of old when drinks were sold Ladies never stood at the bar; This privilege was used for gents alone When drinking gin fizz or side-car. Why should ladies stand at bar And join the masculine line? A nice cozy table for liquid repast Seems to us pretty fine. But ladies like to venture far Like the bigger craft at sea; Want to put hoof on the brass rail- Makes them feel devilish and free In days of old when drinks were sold, Ladies slipped theirs at the table; Now they line up along with the men At the bar as long as they're able

Just Like a Hotel
No Room Left for Norris

The Nebraska legislature in 1883, during the closing days of Gov. Charles w. Bryan's administration, resolved to present a couple of statues to the Capitol's statuary hall, commonly known as the hall of fame.
 The Nebraskans to be honored were William Jennings Bryan and J. Sterling Morton, who was sec- retary of the interior in the Cleve- land administration.
 Friends of Senator George w. Norris, convinced he is about the finest citizen their state has pro- duced, have been grOusing almost ever since because no room was left for the statue of their idol. They say it wasn't understood that a states representation in the hall was limited to two statues.
 But Norris recently took a prominent part in the ceremonies dedicating the statues, and it was he who introduced in congress the resolution to thank Nebraska for the gift.

Roosevelt Points Finger of ScOrn at Lawyers, and They Continually Jump on Him Despite Fact Re- cent Legislation Has Pro- vided Rich Pickings for Le- gal Fingers.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-10

Washington, June 10.-Mr. Roose- welt tends to segregate people into two groups which. for purposes of simplification, might be called the goodies and the paddles.
 Lately it has been obvious that most lawyers to MT. Roosevelt's mind are paddles, just like bank CTS and public utilities magnates.
 It was especially obvious that
 tho lawyers had been promoted
 to this group when the president recently told the correspondents
 about the tax dodgers, who are also paddles. He was more scOrn- full about the lawyers who found --or, as he put it, created-tax law Ioopholes for their wealthy
 clients than he was about the clients themselves.
 Nevertheless, it is a curious thing that the lawyers almost from the beginning have been jumping on the presidents neck in spite of the fact that his legislation created a harvest of lawsuit fees beyond their widest dreams, and it is at least equally curious that New Deal legis- lation keeps right on promising pots of gold to the profession.
 No one knows how many thou sands of lawsuits have been brought against New Deal laws or their enforcement, or it's an even wilder guess as to how many ten millions of dollars the lawyers have collected from their oppor- tunities.
 And now in the face of the in- dubitablc fact that Roosevelt, himself a lawyer, considers the lawyers a bunch of paddles, and that the lawyers consider Roose- welt public paddy number one, the lawyers are being handed two more trays of plums in tho new wage and hour, and agriculture control bills.
 Any person aggrieved by an order of the board under this act, |" says the wage and hour bill, may obtain review of the orders legal validity before circuit court of appeals. The court could also order additional evidence to be taken by the board fin such manner as and upon such terms and conditions as to the court may seem proper" Since the bill is designed to cover the b,,ll, of AY,,oyicoYo n ofoolovnrc ond er1 = ployes, the lawyers may well lick their chops.
 The new AAA bill also provides for final appeal to the courts by any farmer who is dissatisfied with the determination of his soil depicting base acreage, normal yield and marketing quota. It also provides for inspection of books and records of food industries, commodity buyers, farmers and others interested in agricultural products another probable source of much litigation.

 A reporter inquired of mem- Der of the staff as to whether Mrs. Roosevelts pr0tegc, Miss Roberta Jonay, a dancer appear ing at hotel ballroom here, was staying at the mansion. The aide denied knowledge.
 After all, you know came the explanation, this place is very like a hotel"

Advantages and disadvantages Of the

the recent hearings on the 1888 Dis

committee on Appropriations.

Beverage Control Board, was on the
witness stand when Chairman Collins
questioned him about the number Of

RECEIVING HOME
ABOLITION URGED

dren Cited by D. c. Sub
committee Head.

Abolition of the present Receiving
Home for Children-because OF 1t
inadequate faciIities-Was proposed by
Chairman Collins of the House sub
committee in charge OF the District
appropriation bill during hearings or
the 1888 budget. The proposal was
written into the bill.
During testimony by Elwood Street
director of public welfare, Chairman
Collins declared: "To be frank with
you, think it should be abolished"
Il do not know where we would
put the children We are holding for
court action" Street replied.
II do not know either" said Col
lins, but I think it would be better
to put them on the streets than to
have them huddled there together,
with little tots years old aSsoclating
with children with venereal diseases
and with criminals.
They say that they use different
toilets, but the toilets are available
to all of them, and the ones they would
use are the ones the children afflicted
with social diseases would use. The
one I would go to if 1 were incar-
cerated there would be the one used by
people with social diseases because
it is the closest one to the daily &C
tivities of the Receiving Home. That
Is the most convenient one"
Agree to Inadeguacy.
Street: I'VE certainly agree that
the home is entirely inadequate, but
we must have a place for those chill
dren whom we are holding for court
action"
Collins: Il think I am a pretty
good citizen, but frankly it is perfectly
terrible to my mind to take some
little tot years old and let him be
associated all day long with some GRIM
inals or with somebody who is suffer-
ing with social disease
Inspect Without Notice.
Street: Il agree with you"
Collins: From the social stand
point or from the standpoint of the
benefits to society, I think it would
be infinitely better to let those chill
dren be turned loose on the streets
than to be incarcerated in that home !"
Street: Il am glad that you say
that, because We all agree that 1t is
unsuitable for the purpose
Collins: II had been told that it
was perfectly terrible place and that
is the reason we went there, without
any advance notice
Street: "Of course that is true
and we are glad to have you visit any
of the institutions at any time with
out advance notice. We know that
this is an inadequate institution and
represents far less than We should
have for the purpose, but it is all We
have"

NO" Cans answered. I'VE did
not want to come back to tbs old-time
system, where they would stand up
TOR drink and treat one another. II q
person orders drink and sits down to
a table and eats something with his
glass of beer, when he gets through
he goes away. They used to stand
up to the bar and would stay there
and you could not get them away"
"You think If fellow is sitting he
can get in q moving position easier
than he can standing up?" asked
Collins.
