"EvIE" is STAR
At TRANSLATION
IN RADIO DEBUT

In the art of lightning fast
translationS, Mrs. Lawrence Wood
Robert, jr., wife of the treasurer
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, showed form a State De-
partment aide could envy today.
"Evie" was making her radio
debut, introducing Major Edu-
ardo Yanez and Capt. Armando
Villareal, of the Chilean and Mex
ican equestrian teams, respec-
lively. They're here for the In
ter-American Horse Show.
Major Yanez," said "Evie,"
what do you think of our
American oats-for your horses,
of course?"
The pure Castillian Spanish
rolled out for about two minutes.
HE says fine" interpolated
"Evie."
And Captain Villareal -
which is your favorite horse and
why?" in Mrs. Roberts nasal
drawl which has little of that
come hither" Tilt, similar to
Mae Vests dulcet tones.
"Donaji-and he doesn't know
why" summarized "Evie."
Then Mrs. Robert ran up
against the phenomenon familiar
to all radio beginners - she had
run out of questions and she was
still on the air. So:
What are your impressions
of the hospitality of America
and how has your treatment
been since coming to Washing
ton?" (That should be good for
a couple of minutes.)
What the Major and the Cap
tain thought went on at some
length.
They say the food at Fort
Myer is very good" said EVie.
That painful pause which fol
lowed was EWES" signalling to
the control engineer to take over
the broadcast.

FOR TEACHERS
CITY Officials Meet to
Discuss Project

Washington may begin to make
amends for its years of neglect Of
its crippled children early next
week if Deputy Works Progress

successful in securing funds to

the project, Robert L. Haycock,
first assistant superintendent Of
schools, and DR.. Daniel L. Seek
niger, assistant health officer, con-
ferred yesterday to determine the
number of Shut-in children now
denied an education.
DR.. Seckinger said efforts will
be made to send teachers to the
homes of all children who are
unable to attend regular school
classes. 1t is hoped that the prof.
ect will not be confined solely
to children suffering from Grip
pied limbs, but will take in young
sters kept home by heart disease
and other ailments, he said.
PERMANENT PROGRAM
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
president of the Board of Educa-
ton, said she is hopeful the WPA
project will point the way toward
establishment of a permanent pro-
gram for education of unfortunate
shut-inS.
She pointed out that New York

struct its crippled children. The
Board of Education for the past
three years has appealed unsuc'

Mothers Backed:
DEATH CORNER
LIGHT FAVORED

An appeal by mothers of South
west Washington for action on
the part of District traffic au
thorities to install lights at a
death crossing" met with sym
pathy today from Traffic Direc'
tor William A. Van Duzer.
Van Duzer, informed by the
Washington Times that about
1000 petitioners are seeking the
in st all a tion of stoplights at
Fourth and M and Sixth and M
SITS. S. w., promised to do every
thing in his power to remedy the
difficulty,
Although Van Duzer said he
had not yet received the petition
of the residents, which Mrs
Thelma Morgan, Gil I st. S. W..
president of the Bowen -Greenlea1
Parent Teacher Association, is
circulating, he said he was ready
to make a survey of the intersec'
ton and recommend installation
of the lights.
Pointing out that his depart
ment has recommended the in
stallation of traffic lights at 100
intersections throughout the city
Van Duzer said that it is en-,
tirely possible that the M Street
crossing will receive light under
the appropriation of July /.
If the installation is not al
ready contemplated, Van DuZer
said, he will recomend a light
for the intersection.

The working girl could look her
boss in the eye today and say:
Don't think this is my idea."
For, according to statistics of ex-
perts on the subject. employed
women of America work only be-
cause they have to.
Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, admin
istrator of women's and profeS-
sional projects of the WPA, stated
that "all women certified for work
in the WPA are there because they
are the economic heads of their
families"
And Miss Katherine Lenroot,
director of the Children's Bureau
of the Labor Department and an
authority on women in employ
ment, says flatly that nine out Of
ten women would quit their jobs
Immediately if their husbands
could support them on his pay
alone.
Mrs. Woodward's defense Of the
working girl is in answer to the
question why 1887 census figures
showed 2,740,0O0 more women
holding jobs than in 1880.
Of 1000 women WPA workers
