old and embittered whose life is not
full enough Of service for other
people,"
Mrs. Evans is not a preacher. She
Is demonstrator Of what a woman
can do with life: Not one who has
permitted life ito do" with her. The
open, inquiring mind" which she
advocates, has been hers since earli-
est childhood, when as the first
white child born on Ross Forks
Fort Hall Indian Reservation in
Idaho she started interviewing"
her only playmates, Indian children,
IN the Shoshone and Bannock dia-
lects, which she spoke before she
did English. A few years later, her
mind was stimulated by extensive
travels in the Far West, where her
father was connected with the Union
Pacific Railroad.
When she was 13 her father died
and she then came to Washington
with her mother, attending Eastern
High School and Wilson Teachers
College. After her graduation from
that college she taught history, SUBJ
sequent to her marriage to Joshua
Evans, jr., now vice president of the
Hamilton National Bank.
That was the beginning of what
she declares is the greatest career
in a woman's life, wifehood and
motherhood. Modesty is one of Mrs.
Evans many attributes and although
her personal successes have been
many, she emphatically states her
husband is the one to whom she
owes her guidance in all things.
my husband is the original
thinker In our family" she said.
His vision, knowledge of human
relationships and balanced view of
social and economic problems in
their relation to daily life and living
have been my matrimonial graduate
course and my most effective factor
IN connection with civic affairs"
Be that as it may, with all due
credit to her husband, Mrs. Evans
cannot escape standing on her own
laurels. Her interest in history con-
tinued during her early married life,
when she did extensive research
into the history of Washington,
writing many articles on the SUBJ
Ject. Two sons and daughter kept
her life filled with interest and when
her older son, Joshau, Sd, was stricken
with infantile paralysis at the age
OF Is, she took up the burden with
a cheerfulness and courage which
never failed her. For five years, day
In and day out, she carried on a
routine, which eventually restored
her son to complete health.
Not long after her sons remark
able recovery, the most bitter
tragedy which could enter into a
woman's life fell swiftly and merci-
lessly upon her. Her son, who was
to have graduated within a few
weeks from George Washington Uni
versity, where he stood highest in
his class, was killed in an automo-
bile accident.

outlook on the social and civic

Mrs. Evans has the distinction of
being the first woman trustee of

The years during which she had
nursed her son back to health had
been an incentive for Mrs. Evans
to assist others in need of hos
pitalization. She became one Of
the incorporators and the first
woman on the directorate of Group
disqualification, Inc, which assures
disqualification at a nominal fee
to employees of industrial or other
groups. After her sons death, she
became extremely active in the
Woman's Safety Committee of the
American Automobile Association,
hoping thereby to add her bit to
safeguarding the sons and daugh-
ters OF other mothers from the trag-
edy which had come into her life.
Mrs. Evans Is member of the

MEET HARRY HOPKINS

Now that President Roosevelts appointment OF
Harry L. Hopkins as Secretary Of Commerce has been
confirmed by the Senate and now that Delegate An
thony j. Dimond has recommended to Secretary Hop
kins the name of Senator Norman r. Walker for APP
pointment to the office Of u S Commissioner of Fish
cries it might be interesting to Aaskans to IND out
Just what kind of fellow Harry Hopkins is.
His appointment as Secretary OF Commerce caught
the business community of the nation well as John
Citizen by surprise. Business wanted to know why
the President named this famous spender OF relief
billions to post requiring actual business experience
qualification Harry Hopkins does not claim, SO far
as anybody knows.
Then John Citizen wanted to know why, after
the appointment was announced, everybody went into
such stew?
There are good and sufficient reasons from the
Roosevelt point OF view for the appointment, and,
likewise there are reasons from the point of view
of the opposition, for the subsequent stew

Reasons why the capitol went into stew over the
Hopkins appontment-in other words, the arguments
against his appointment whether not they based
on fact:
l. The originator of WPA is not business man,
and his spending program has been the antithess OF
budgeted expense limitations upon business men.

post may signify the Presidents intention to carry
on his supposed fight with bic business

Certain anti-New Deal spokesman are getting all
warmed up to make political capital out of the report
of a Special Committee Returns, appointed by
President Roosevelt.
The report shows that the Government sends out
35,5OO000 QUESTIONABLE forms year that some
businesses must report their pay rolls IL times that
different Government agencies send out different
missionaries seeking the same information etc.
There undoubtedly is such waste and duplication,
and it undoubtedly is 4 nuisance and an expense 10

But this QUESTIONABLE situation is merely one of
many such arising out of the maze of conflicting and
overlapping Government bureaus.

Safety Valve
Cincinnati Enquirer


In some instances public hearings of Senate COM
mitees presidential appointments for the pur
pose of eiciting information about the appointees
other cases the hearings operate safety valves
through which private individuals suffering from hal
ucnatons, growing pains and ingrown social preju-
dces can get some temporary relief In this con-
nection it should be remembered that for some in
dvdual there is agony quite so intense harbor-
ing a long-cherished hatred and finding nobody to
listen to expression of it.
The hearings Professor Frankfurter's appoint
ment to the Supreme Bench appear to be definitely
in the latter category. The chief witnesses were
persons with little knowledge of the appointee,
but with acuely historical notions about Jews foreign
born persons and defenders of civil liberties. Most
of them betrayed their real purpose publicity-by
launching into diatribeS against the President and
members of his family and official family.
Their testimony cannot be taken seriously by the
Senate committee. 1t is unfortunate that ap-
pointee to the nations highest court, a singuary
able appointee, should be subjected to this type of
character assassination at the hands of sefappointed
critics But it doubt is better to conduct brief
hearings to oresall any charge of railroading con-
rmation, though the hearing attracts only few
publicity seekers who happen to be in Washington at
the time.
