Tea at 2345 wyoming Ave.-and
q pleasant picture Of a Justice OF
the United States Supreme Court
in his own home Mr.. and Mrs.
Harlan Fiske Stone wee receiving
q few friends informally.
Before the door Of the large
brick house in the towns most
charming residential neighborhood
the family chauffeur waited to
open the doors of arriving cars.
Inside the door the family butler.
Just beyond in the broad hall, Mr..
Justice Stone himself, smiling
welcome to a stream Of guests.
A completely happy Justice, I
should say Not one bit
troubled about the explosions
booming over the Temple Of JUS

fortably dressed in not too slick
clothes. A hearty handshake and:
"WelI, well, come in. Here's
my wife,
Mrs. Stone, in an afternoon
chiffon gown, was moving easily
among her guests. Introducing a
few here and there. not too obvl-
ously and suggesting tea at table
set cozily in the drawing room.
A little general conversation
and Justice Stone wandered in.
wouldn't you like to see our
garden?"
It was a beautiful little garden
behind high, UNCOVERED brick
walls. The grass was perfect. Not
o weed or a bare spot.
"HOw do you do it, in Wash
ingtOn of all places?"
II make my garden in the
winter. In August when the
crab grass begins to come up It
IL carefully raked out. The soil
IA heavily. seeded, rolled, sprin"
killed. and forgotten. Nature does
the rest and we have grass all
winter. And in the spring 1t Is
green and plentiful. And there's
nothing to do with it until Au-
gust again"
Against the garden walls were
evergreens of the lockwood and
yew family. And against the
evergreens, fat tulips and IRIS.
A gay little bronze fountain
trickled into a small pool. On
the porch, the same level as the
garden, was a small dining tanie
where the Justice and his Wl1e
are now breakfaSting and dining
whenever they are at home.
"But you haven't been in my
workshop" said Justice Stone.
we followed him into a great
library with a studio-like ceiling.
with tiers and tiers Of books,
bright wall pieces, good lamps
and sunshine. A small stairway
led to an open gallery. Inc
Justice said;
"Up there is where do my
earnest thinking. When ! want
to get in heavy work. see, l
close this trick door"
He swung what seemed 10 pc q
bookcase to meet the end OF an
other bookcase. He explained:
'This shuts me in. can't
hear sound"
Next on this personally con-
Quoted tour of a contented man at
home, we stopped to admire an
exquisite sculpture of a girl. The
Justice said:
''My wife and got it in Italy.
IT'S made from an old piece of
marble dug up from a ruin. It's
a treasure If it was an extrava-
ganCe. But an extravaganza now
and then makes life worth the
trouble"
When the Supreme Court ad-
1ourns, Justice and Mrs. Stone will
take a long trip to Mexico.

ABATT0IR BILL
FIGHT PUSHED
AT HEARING
Seal to Be Witness at
Senate Committee
Session Today

Public hearings on the bill to
abolish abattoirs, slaughter houses,
stockyards and plants manufac-
turing gases, explosives and other
products termed as undesirable
will continue at 2:30 p. m. today
in the Senate District Committee
Room.
The measure under discussion
proposes to prohibit any such new
industry from moving into the city
and sets up a strict set of regula.
lions under which such plants al
ready operating can continue with
their work, if they prove they are
not creating nuisance.
Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal who declared at the opening
of the hearings yesterday that he
did not believe Adolph Gobel, Inc,
would be permitted to reopen their
plant in Northeast Washington
under the provisions of this bill,
will be the first witness today.
Many Attend Hearings
Under the program outlined by
Senator Pat McCarran CD, Ne
vada, chairman of the subcommit-
tee conducting the hearings, Mr..
Seal will be followed by other per.
sons favoring the bill and then
those who oppose the bill and
those who have amendments to
offer will be heard.
The hearings are the most
heavily attended Of any held by
the Senate Committee this ses-
sion. The District Committee
room was crowded with persons
anxious to testify and it is eSti-
mated that two more days will be
consumed in the hearings.
Toward the end Of yesterdays
hearings Mrs. Helen Fowler ere
ated a stir when she stood up
near the back Of the room and
delivered a scathing denuncia-
ton Of abattoirs in a deliberate
voice. Her outburst was greeted
with hearty applause from other
witnesses.
While the committee was inter.
rogating another witness she in.

living in the District so years.

According to Mrs. Hugh Butler,
wife of the former American Trade
Commissioner to London, the max
ing of impromptu and political
speeches, the presentation or &C
ceptance of a gift and the welcom-
ing of a prominent person is an
art that should be cultivated by
wives of men in public life.
The Little Woman, Mrs. Butler
says, more often that not can

On the other hand, Mrs. Butler
says, the wife who knows how to
accept gift graciously, who can
make an impromptu speech, ad-
dress Wonen's clubs, or entertain

tIents at a tea can do much to
further his career.

The bigger the woman the more
weight her words will bear, Mrs.
Butler said, and she wasn't being
facetiouS either.
Worried by Size
In Illustrating her point, Mrs.
Butler referred to a Bostonian
whose cultural background was
extraordinary. This lady, she said,
came daily to her public speaking
class, yet every time she rose to
talk red blotches appeared on her
face and neck.
Mrs. Butler, who feels that when
people quake over q speech there
is some psychological reason, de.
cided her pupil was painfully con-

Big Increase: In
edCars Handled
By Automobile Men

A surprising increase in volume
of used cars handled by automobile
dealers has taken place in the last
decade, Ira B. Groves, manager Of
the Long Beach Ford Motor CoTti-
pany branch, declared this week.
= !, Ten years ago for every two
new automobiles sold the dealer
handled one used car," said. Groves.
To-day for every two, new cars
sold, the dealer handles three or
four used cars. -. -: 49,
Ten years ago the average value
of used cars was $4,000 each; to-
day the average value is $4,000, al
increase Of forty percent"
These figures, complied by the
Ford Motor Company indicate, ac,
cording to Mr.. Groves, a much high-
er standard of value now available
to used car: buyers. Because i'm.
proved economic conditions have ir
creased the potential number of
used. car buyers, he declared, al.
Indications point to 1887 as one of
the outstanding sales years in used
car records.
1.-The average used car buyer is
operating close to his, personal &
1ancial budget continued Groves.
He demands aaseryiceable aiitomO-
bile. He insists, upon low original
cost, and low. maintenance an<t
operating costs. ~ He, cannot afford
constant repairs, low gasoline
mileage or high oil consumption
For such buyers the 1891. pros
oect is attractive. In the used. or
markets today they can find willie
variety of. used cars, priced within
heir budgets and conditioned, for
many thousands of miles. of eco
nomical operation. :,
Realizing the great number of
used car prospects, the Ford Motor
Company is supporting it's dealers
in a nationwide, r & G. used CIR
program.
"In cooperation with the factory,
Ford. dealers now. may offer the
buyer a used car which has beef
renewed and guaranteed. to meet
specifications fixed by the factory
This 'R & G. procedure develop
ed by Ford enables Ford dealers to
offer the used car buyer written,
money-back guarantee in which the
buyer is protected to lengths pro.
Viously unknown
Under the r & G. guarantee the
buyer is assured that car has been
inspected thoroughly, and, where
necessary, conditioned to meet fix
ed standards,-with such protection,
a buyer can select used car with
confidence; he knows that the ca"
will perform as expected, and that
he is fully protected.
Widespread acceptance of the
1897 Ford VS. has permitted Ford
dealers in our territory to stock d
complete line Of used; cars. The
Ford dealer can deliver almost any
kind of automobile the. used car
buyer desires-fn first class condi-
lion, under the r g G. guarantee. :"

of all great national industries affects the lives
of our people more closely than the electric light and
power business. 1t 260O0,0O0 customers has
millions of security holders, and represents the second
largest fixed investment of any industry" These words
