 Perkins Greeting
 Madame Secretary Perkins, of Labor, has undertaken to spread good will and esprit de corps in her Department by suggesting all en- ployes greet each other with a friendly hello" or good morning" as they meet in various offices or along the miles of winding corri- dors.
 The idea has brought much spoof- ing among the employees but it re- mained for an elevator girl to put lit to real use. She left her elevator to take rest, ignored couple of buzzes from the floor below, and then took a friend "express"to an- other floor before answering the now insistent ring. What was her amaze ment to find she had kept Madame, the Secretary. waiting all this time Catching her breath quickly, the 1 girl said:
 Good morning, Miss Perkins"
 The Perkins frown fluttered, and died. Good morning." she respond ed, left the car at her floor, and nothing more was done about it. T could have tainted" the girl said, but didn't.
 TugwelIs Bill
 Rex Tugwell, who rose to prom thence early in the Roosevelt ad- ministration by having his name attached to the food and drug bill, has left the Government but the bill goes marching on. Senator Cope land, who won't have so much flood control business to occupy his Con- merce Committees time this ses- sion, plans to push hard to get the measure through. Last session he worried it through the Senate but it died in the House.
 Still in the bill, though in re- vised form, is the section most dis liked by publishers. It is the sec tion which puts upon the publisher part of the responsibility for any false or misleading statement in ad- vertisements about foods, medicines or cosmetics.
 How Senator Copeland came to introduce the bill is told in a story circulating in the Agriculture De- partment, where Tugwell used to be Undersecretary. He and Jerome Frank, then AAA chief counsel, drafted the bill in cooperation with the Food and Drugs Administration which had been seeking a revision of the food and drug act for a quar- ter century. They happened to be up on Capitol hill one day and in casual conversation with Copeland mentioned the measure. Let me introduce it." Copeland said. They gave it to him and he did. It has since provided him with three years of arduous committee work.
