R. F. c. LOAN BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL
Senate Committee Refuses
to Head Ickes Plea for
P. W. A. Cooperation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Banking Committee to-
day approved bill by Senator Glass
Democrat. of Virginia widening the
scope of r. F. c. loans to business
and reviving the power of that Gov
ernment agency to make loans to
States and municipalities.
Despite a plea by Secretary 1ckes,
Public Works Administrator, for "co-
operation" between r. F.. c. and P.
w. A.. the committee made no change
in the bill. Mr.. 1ckes wished for ar
amendment empowering P. w. A. to
resume loans and grants to States
and municipalities.
Chairman Wagner said the effect Of
the bill would be to permit r. F. c.
to make long time loans to business
enterprises The legislation lifts the
present time limit of 1945 on re-
payment.
$1,5O0,0OO 1000 Available.
Chairman Jesse H. Jones told the
committee the r. F. c. had approxi-
mately 5oo;Ooo,ooo in unused
funds" available for all types of loans.
Questioned by members Of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Jones said there was an
impression" there is demand for
business loans that can't be met by
commercial banks. He said, however,
he did not think there was any large
demand"
He said the bill by Senator Glass
would permit the r. F. c. to lend to
business enterprises on a long term
basis
Such loans, he added, would be
made not to pay existing debts, "but
to provide money to hire men and
buy materials"
He noted also that a provision of
the bill would permit self-liquidating
loans to States and subdivisions, thus
authorizing R. F. c. to revive about
1000 applications which were closed
when the P. w. A. stopped such ac-
tivity last fall.
Suggests p. w. A. IS Agent.
In that connection, Secretary Ickes.
who testified following Mr.. Jones, sug-
gested that P. w. A. act as agent Of
the R. F. G. In passing on the loans.
"The r. F. G. then could provide
the money and would get the securi-
ties posted by the borrower" Mr..
1ckes said. He predicted this would
Save expense"
During Mr.. Jones testimony Senator
Townsend. Republican, of Delaware
said 1t was his understanding that the
banks were full of money they want
to loan. but can't"
Mr.. Jones agreed this was true, but
added there were loans which the
banks should not make but which the
Government might.
The Government, in the present
circumstances, can afford to take q
chance that the banks cannot" the
Government financial expert testified

What the r. F. c. wants to do under

NETS have decided that all this fool

be made safe for gastronomy Hence
the organization known as Les Amis
d'Escoffier." which means in plain
English The Friends of Escofier.'
Andre Fiot, as the personal repre-
sentative of the French Ambassad dor,
and. indeed, the French government,
offered eulogy to the great French
chef, Escoffier, who accomplished for
France some so years ago what the
Friends Of Escoff1er hope to do for
America In this day and generation
get the Nation back on a sound food
basis. In well-prepared address, the
only one of the night, M. Fiot recorded
the triumphs Of Escofier and told how
that gentleman of the saucepans ac-
tually saved a nation from disgrace
when all seemed lost.
As evidence Of what Escoffier would
do, were he in Washington today,
Chef Farrin Of the Raleigh, prepared
a six-course menu that was, in the
language Of the American gourmet,
"a honey" It consisted of that double
consomme, a rare fish, served with an
Alsatian wine, breast OF guinea hen
that had been soaked 48 hours In
champagne and an ancient cut of beef
such as delighted the palate of Rich
ard the Lion-Hearted. Each course
had its peculiar beverage. Not a drop
OF water was served, nor was there the
sign of pipe, cigar, or cigarette-until
the coffee-when all hands went at
their smokes like old-fashioned sailor
men.
Fougner Master of Ceremonies.
G. Selmer Fougner, who really got
the national organization started two
and a half years ago in New York,
and who writes for the magazines
about the art of living and dining
acted as master of ceremonies. He in
troduced all the celebrities in the Gu

president Of the Waldorf-Astoria Ho-
tel, where the first "Escofier" banquet
was held; Lazaro Bianco, for many
years chef of the National Press Club
and now with Napoleon. who was also
there; c. Mottaz Of the Savarin, Union
Station; Arthur Deute, the world
champion amateur chef Of Baltimore
Md, and the chefs Of all the leading
local hotels
Bravo, bravo!" these epicureans
shouted as each course was served.
So successful was the party that
another one will be staged in the fall
at the Shoreham Hotel, with Gardner
Moore, manager, as host; Jacques
Haeringer as the chef and Phelps
Adams, Washington correspondent for
the New York Sun, as master Of cere-
monies.

they must pay their own trans

The women who go out to

Sent For
Mild Cases
The aides are forbidden to
give medicine or in any way
to perform nursing service. And
they are not sent on cases Of
chronic or contagious illness.
In obStetric cases, after the
babies have been delivered by
the doctor, the aides perform
the services that formerly the
underprivileged depended on
kindly neighbors to do for them.
They know how to make the
mother comfortable, the
change and sterilize bottles and
nipples for the new baby. In
addition to this, their job Is to
clean up living quarters and
keep them clean. They cook
and even do home laundry work
when necessary.
They work seven hours a day,
and each aide carries a khaki
kit to match her uniform. This
is equipped with a scrub brush,
laundry soap, a box of cleanser,
a bottle of disinfectant, q
bottle of iodine, her own per-
Sonal soap and towel, and q
green and white checked dress
which she wears when she re-
moves her uniform, and a white
butchers apron.
White women are sent to
white homes, and colored women
to colored homes, and a mini
mum age of 80 years is required.
They are carefully chosen for
their ability to take the shoR<.
intensive training, which IS
given them before they are ap-
pointed. And native intelli-
gence is a requisite.

For the month of August you
have two birthstones - SAR-
DoNYx and PERIDOT. Sar-
donyx is the most popular one.
The colors of the superposed
layers of the agate have been
utilized by lapidaries skilled in
the cutting of canoes to give
shading and contrast to their
work. A favorite contrast in
color among such canoes is fur
nished by a white layer super
posed upon a black one, the
combination taking the name
"onyx" from the deep black
background color. Where a
white layer contrasted with one
of carnelian or sard is used, the
combination is known as "sar-
donyx."

Beds Becoming
Sophisticated

Looking around the local
stores, one thing which strikes
me practically pink, is the things
being done to the beds we sleep
on. They are getting so sophis-
ticated and smart and soignee,
that no Self-respecting girl
would longer lay her head on
the garden variety studio couch,
or for that matter any regula-
ton sort of bed.
Upholstered head-boardS and
no foot-boards are among the
newest luxuries in ideas. Twin
beds can be showed together
lengthwise during the day, and
made to look like one, under an
enormous coverlet Of some ex-
otic material.

a light, friendly feeling. That

Beauty Counsel By Donna Grace
By DONNA GRACE

ONE OF the most commendable
" things about youth, with its
restless inquiSitiveneSS and the
desire for change, they love to
try new things. They hardly ever
need urging to try a new hair
style or a change of makeup. AS
a matter of fact, they keep the
designers on the "qui vive" to
create new designs for their
benefit.
It might be smart for some
of the elders to emulate them
in their changes, especially in
hair styles and makeup. There
are so many mature women who
are too "set" in their way of
clinging to old fashions. They,
too, have tried a number of
styles and when they find one
that suits they feel they must
stick to it. We believe in this
theory but only as it conforms
with the modes of today.
One friend we have IN mind
had worn a center part a Ia
Duchess of Windsor for years
lust because it seemed to be the
thing when she was in her
teens, but it was really about
the most unflattering mode she
could have adopted.

Blankets
Softly ColOred

When you begin to talk about
coverlets you're getting into
something you can't break away
from easily. The present crop
Of coverletS is too luscious for
anything but eating. Such
colors, such deep velvety chen
lilies, such chaste silks with gi-
gantic monograms, there's no
end to the beautiful designs.
Blankets, too, will soon have
their share of attention, what
with the autumn tang just
around the corner. CYes, you'll

Pedestrian Deaths

Connecticut Registers Decrease-RespOnsibilit of
 Careless Walker Should Be Emphasized

"Just as long as safety campaigns continue to place the stigma of blame for automobile accidents upon the driver ana entirely ignore the responsibility of the pedestrian, our annual quota of deaths from automobile accidents will continue at an alarming level" said William A. Thibodeau, General Manager of the A. L. A., in statement today.
 Slight Decrease
 Other facts brought out by MT. Thibodeau in his statement in- cluded the following: Although there was a slight decrease in the number of automobiles fatalities in the New England States for 1887 as compared with 1886, the propor- tion of pedestrian deaths increased. In 1886 the pedestrians killed in automibile accidents equalled 51 per cent of the total, while in 1887 this proportion increased to nearly 54 per cent. There was an increase in the number of pedestrians killed in each state except Massachusetts and Connecticut. The most start ling increase was in Maine where the total jumped from 62 pedes- trians killed in 1886 to 30 killed ill 1937-an increase of g per cent.

CHARLES WRIGHT
 EXPELLED TODAY
Two Brokers Also Sus= pended By Securities,
 Exchange Commission

Washington, Feb. 28-(UP)-The Securities and Exchange Commis- sion today expelled Charles G. Wright, New York broker, from the five national securities exchanges on the ground that he allegedly manip- ulated prices of Kinner Aircraft stock on the Los Angeles market.
 At the same time the commission suspended Norman Stern and Her bert King, both of New York. for F months from membership on the New York curb and stock exchanges in connection with the same case.
 Wright is member of the firm if Wright & Sexton. King and Stern were members of the firm of Arnold & Go. which was dissolved last Sep tember after investigation by the New oYrk Stock and Curb exchanges and the SEC. The SEC found no vi- olations by the two firms.
 In announcing conclusion of the case, the SEC said that there was clearly substantial difference in the degree of culpability" between Wright and King and Stern.
 Tt is our conviction that the pub lie needs protection against such ac- tivities and those guilty of them, the commission said. Therefore we deem it necessary and appropriate for the proetction of investors that each of the respondents, Norman Stern and Herbert King, be sus- pended for 12 months from mem bership upon all the national secur- ity exchanges of which they are members respectively.
