the iced beverages and ice cream con-

Great was fond of drinks so iced and
insisted on being supplied with them

Champion Putter-Offer
 Bdckstops for Sen. Borah
By SIGRtD ARNE CAP Feature Service Writer)

WASHINGTON April 12. = It is Cora Rubins slate-blue eyes and faint smile that people meet when they dash into the office of Sena- tor William E. Borah of Idaho with a brandnew plan to save the world.
 Ten-to-one they tell Miss Rubin instead, and she passes the plan on to the Senator in a condensed form because he cant see all the peo- ple,. read all the letters or take all the phone calls that have come his way since he became the Senate's outstanding man on foreign rela- tions. She's a champion butter offer"
 29 Years On Job
 Miss Rubin got a job and kept it" g years ago. Borah had just come to Congress. She was fresh faced, efficient young woman with a business-college diploma who had been hired as stenographer. Since 1908 she has swung between Wash ington and Boise.
 In late years her mother comes with her
 Once Miss Rubin became so cur ious about events in Russia that she took trip over for look see. But that's about the only time she has left the job in three decades.
 She is the dean of senatorial sec retaries. She was one of the few women jn Senatorial offices when she came here, and she still is one of the few serving as office man. agers for Senators. She has a staff of five, two of them men,
 Doesn't Smoke
 Her first job each day is to go over the mail She sorts it into six boxes; one for farmers and ranch CTS back home, one for veterans troubles, one for the League of Ma tions ana so on. All day long her staff phones or calls personally on governmental departments to an- sWer that mail.
 No lunch for Miss Rubin. No cigarettes No minutes out for gos- sip with other secretaries. No re- laxing sport on Sunday. She's all most as much lone wolf" as her employer.
 She smiles down at her 150 pounds, five feet six, and asks. Well do I look undernourished, even if I do have no luncheS?'
 Dresses ConservativeIy
 When the Senator is active in a Senate fight, she listens from the gallery so she can run the office without asking too many questions. The fight over the League of Ma tions was the high-point in Wash ilgton life for her.
 Her pink-and white triangular face is soft and feminine. She usu- ally is dressed in something dark and conservative A dressmaker fixes her up, and shorts at Miss Rubin with needle in her hand You're pitiful trying to sew says the dressmaker, and Miss Rubin concurs meekly, because she thinks a working woman, like a working man, should do her job well and not worry too much about other things y
 That's about as far as she goes cn the men-women question.
 Women are people" she says. If they work well, they hold jobs. Same way with men,
