 Senator George T. Culhane, mem. ber of tho cities and boroughs coni- mittee. emphatically denied apthor- ship of the measure today. He said that he would vote against any -''ripper" bill.
 Like disciaiming of authorship came from Representatives Daniel J. Mahaney and Hugo dustafefri. Senator Edward ?.

Francis Smith might be aware of the source Of the measure.
 Epson Passes It Up
 This theory gained substance when Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson added his denial to being author of the bill. Chair man Upson is known to have pre- pared tho resolution brought by the Republican aldermen some months ago and calling for suspension of city officials named in grand jury charges pending disposition of tho accusations now pending iii the sus pcrior court trial.
 The Republican aldermen passed the resolution by their one-yote plurality on the board, 6 to 2, but the measure was vetoed by Mayor

 The JAWS internal dissension had been breaking out at intervals for a year, since Martin first suspended -four executives for alleged radicai- ism. The executive board backed him at the time and the four were expelled.
 Martin was trying to steer the union on a more conservative path. That trouble was tentatively settled last fall when, with CIO executives as mediators, conferences were held and the four were reinstated.
 Breaks Out Again
 Soon after the first of the year it broke out again, when several exc ecutive board members charged that Martin had been conducting secret negotiations with Harry Bennett, personnel director of the Ford Motor company, the only major automo- bile firm that had not granted con- tracts to the JAW. The directors charged that Martin was without authority to deal with Bennett. and that his negotiations were detrimen- tai to the union.
 The Detroit Free Press said to- day that prior to last weeks split, Bennett had given Martin an oppor- tunity to organize Ford workers. The newspaper quoted Bennett as fol- lows:
 q offered to give Martin c list of all employees of the Ford company and told him to go ahead and or- ganize them if he could. I told him I didn't think he could make 1t but he was welcome to try. q.

women organized the Women's Sin

club later affiliated with the Ma
tlonal Federation of Women's Clubs
and has continued actively to advo-
cate the principle on which it was
founded-that of taking publicly

Members of the Womens Single

"Al labor and industry depend

Yellow roses have been generously
used for decorative purposes since
Mrs. Roosevelt became the official
hostess, which might give the i'm
preston that the yellow rose is her
favorlte flower, but Mrs. Roosevelt
says the pansy is her favorite, al
though she likes all kinds. For day-
time she seldom wears flowers. She
finds them in her way. However. tor
state functions and other special
occasions she frequently wears or
chlds. Mrs. Roosevelt leaves all
questions OF decorating entirely up
to Mr.. Reeves. And in keeping with
recent amusing suggestion made to
her regarding the personal comfort
of the King and Queen during their
visit at the White House, advising
her to be sure to have enough vases
on hand, because the Queen would be
given flowers wherever she went,
Mr.. Reeves will see to it there are
enough containers on hand to keep
the flowers from fading.
President Roosevelt is very fond
OF roses and carnations and likes
them on his desk, and even the
grandchildren of the President come
in for their share of the flowers, for
during their visits baskets of fresh
posies are placed in their bedrooms.
Flowers at the Presidents house
are selected to harmonize with the
draperleS and furnishings as far
as is possible. For example. red,
pink, salmon-pink and white bios
SONS are used in the east room to
blend with the Italian red draperies;
pink and white blossoms make an
effective contrast in the green room;
In the blue parlor, where the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt receive at
state receptions, the mantel is al
ways banked with white flowers and
usually there are yellow roses or
other blossoms of the same shade
arranged on tables or before the
large window; the red room usually
boasts red flowers, and in the long
red corridor on the console table
before the portrait of President Will
liam Mckinley there is always a
vase of red flowers, usually carna-
tions or roses.
Another rule followed by White
House florists is to balance the
larger or bolder blossoms with the
smaller or more delicate ones, and
to place flowers as high as possible
to keep them from being bruised.
Some of the choice combinations
include snapdragons. roses and
stevia mixed with maidenhair fern;
roses and carnations either with
stock, stevia or freesia; orchids with
lilies Of the valley, or orchids with
glorioso fern.

operation of the ancient stone
Pierce Mill as an educational and

grain for farmers from nearby COM
munities on commission basis.

years old, is located in Rock Greek

Among the corn products made at
Pierce Mill is unbleached white

cloth.
Born In War Time.
The Welfare and Recreation As
sociation was a war baby, born in
1918 as the Joint Welfare Service.
The War and Navy Departments
had concentrated thousands of new
employees in the so-called temporary
buildings which still serve these de-
partments on Vle Mall. There were
no facilities nearby for lunches of
any kind and pressure of work left
the employees little time to travel
the long distance to dinner or a
sandwich.
Officials got together before mall
nutrition attacked war workers and
donated money required to place
food on sale in the buildings. From
this start fund was built up so
that the service could expand its
activities. Col. C. o. Sheriff., Col.
U. S. Grant, Sd, and Capt. Frank
w. Hoover, now secretary and gen.
eral manager of the association,
were three of the leading spirits.
The Governments only contribu-
ton was space in the buildings.
On December %, 1926, the service
was reorganiZed into what is now
known as the Welfare and Recrea-
tional Association. The corporation
was established as a private, benev-
olent membership corporation with
no capital stock, to operate activi-
ties the director of public buildings
might designate, one-half of the
profits to 60 to the United States
Government. the other half to be
used for welfare and expansion of

history. 1t was used by Fulton to
test parts of the steamboat Cler-
mont.
The mill had its beginning when
the Federal Government moved to
Washington from Philadelphia al
though, of course. in 1901 the site
of Pierce's mill was separated from
the tiny Capital by miles of dense
forests. To this, the earliest mill in
the vicinity of the White House,
Mrs. Adams, wife of the first Presi-
dent to occupy the White House,
drove for her flour and meal.
Business flourished at Pierce Mill

horses, canoes, "pedal-boats," BIZ
cycles and a golf course.
During the spring and summer
seasons the period of stay in the
camp is limited to two weeks, since
the main purpose of the place is to
accommodate transients. Large
groups, such as conventions of fra
ternal organizations, educational
tours and religious meetings stop
there all the year round.
Inspected regularly by the United
States Health Service, the District
Health Department and the med
lcal officers of the association and
protected by United States Park
Police, this camp is rated as one of
the best tourist camps in America.
