Mrs. Moore Speaks
At Woman'S Club:

At tie regular meeting of the
Hardin's Woman's Club. Mrs. Jessie
Moore explained the working Of
the WPA as it applied to women.
Mrs. Moore IS n of five women
supervisors in the state, being in
charge of IT counties and about
$50 women. She formerly was in
charge of % counties and 800
women.
Mrs. Moore stated that to be eli
gible for a WPA Job, a woman must
be the head of a family and its
sole support. An unskilled laborer
makes about $4,000 a month. In
Big Horn County the hourly wage
Is 45c and the number of hours
a month is limited to 96.
The supervisor enrolls the
women after consulting the County
Commissioners. Women are asked
to furnish their own machines.
Each county is responsible for
rooms, and certain supplies such
rs scissors. Many of the women
had had no experience at all.
Special talents are recognized and
the work graded accordingly. Ar
ticles made are varied. including
such items as corduroy trousers,
girls coats, sheep-lined jackets,
mittens, ladies' and girls print
dresses, mems shirts and %overalls,
rugs, etc. The displayed products
are well made, and rival factory
garments in workmanship.
Mrs. Moore gave some very in
.teresting statistics. There has been
a total of 804,794 garments made in
Montana since the work began.
Last June 201 900 yards of cotton
cloth were purchased. There are
about 1862 women on WPA prof.
ects in Montana, and 10000 men.
Big Horn county has 43 families on
general relief, and 80 families on
WPA jobs: besides ITO receiving
old age assistance and Is receiving
aid as dependent children. The
payroll for the Big Horn county
sewing room project amounts to
1928 a month.
The Misses Ellingwood, KurtZ
and Westwood were hostesses to
the club. The table was beautiful
ly decorated, the center piece be-
ing al orchid which was sent from
California to Mrs. Russell.

81, 968s56 Was collected in fares, leaving
$qO9.64 charged to Government subs Idly.
Mr. Rabbit reported that he was nogoti-
ating with nearby banks in ON effort to
find one bank that would provide adequate
protection for Town funds. Since the Low
provides that bank deposits beyond SIS ZOO
in orly account may not be insured, it
would ordinarily be necessary for the Town
to spread its deposits about, in order to
provide tho complete protection cossary
for the public funds. For admins trativo
reasons this division Of funds is undc~
sirablo and it may be safely avoided if
the bank sots aside enough Of its assets :
security for tho uninsured part Of tho
Towns deposits. The council authorized
Rabbit to continue his negotiation with
the Wow Of placing Town funds in tho most
Conveniently situated bank thot Will
furnish adequate security.

race has achieved more notable progress
in half a dozen generations. The arti-
facts Of its experience certainly should
be preserved; its history merits careful
study: the museum and library which
DR.. Miller is attempting to organize
would serve to focus interest on a phase

Taxicab Population.

Imminence of operation of the new
District taxicab liability law undoubtedly
is factor in the lag of applications
for hackers licenses for the coming
twelve months
If so, it is an initial benefit of a law
from which the District expects material
Improvement in distressingly bad traf-
f1c condition, an over-abundance of pub
lie vehicles and lack Of responsibility
which heretofore has been costly to
many patrons.
Even with the liability law operative,
however. there still may be an excess of
taxicabs in Washington, flushed into the
streets by Jealous salesmanship on the
part of those benefiting from the sale
OF the actual vehicles Eventually. per-
haps, the answer will be the arbitrary
fixing Of quota of cabs for the District.
Strlctest possible adherence to the re-
quirements for issuance of licenses can
help in the meantime, plus the fact that
as a natural development in the pas
sage of time there will be those who will
drop from the field. It is on this normal
retirement" trend that the Public Utili-
ties Commission should depend prin-
cipally to bring the total of operators
down to level more commensurate with
the citys needs.

Virginia Auto.Railers,

A ruling by the Interstate Commerce

direct appeal to District authorities by
the Arlington l. Fairfax Auto Railroad
Company to run its auto-rail cars into
Washington from Virginia.
To the layman the amount Of legal
technicalities that must be cleared UP
before getting ruling on such simple
proposal is remarkable. SFor more than
two years the company and its predeces-
sor has been attempting to obtain per-
mission, to operate in the District.
The legal moves have included two
applications to the I. G. C.. and one to
the Public Utilities Commission of the
District of Columbia. Tie latter refused
to consider the auto-railer firms plea

Negro Museum.

The African Negro has been associated
with the European white in America
almost from the beginning of COLOMBIA
tion in the 18th century. Nicolas de
Ovando brought slaves to Haiti in 1902;
Bishop Bartolome de las Casas persuaded
Emperor Charles v to authorize the
transportation of four Thousand slaves
a year to the Caribbean settlements
after 1877; Dutch traders from the coast
Of Guinea visited Jamestown, in Vir-
ginia, to exchange a cargo of slaves for
cash and local produce in 1920; more
than two million human beings of the
black race. it has been conservatively
estimated, were imported into the British
territories alone between 1880 and 1875;
at least an equal number were sold as
chattels to the Spanish and Portuguese
during the same period; the trafIic con-
tinued until within the memory of liv-
ing individuals.
Such is the background against which
DR.. Kelly Miller has postulated his plan
for Negro museum and library at How
ard University. The proposal first was
suggested in a letter to The Star in 1916;
1t has been revived at the moment when
facilities for the accommodation of the
institution are becoming available in the
nearly finished university library build
ing, constructed with P. w. A. funds. A
