i. Grab
Is Urged
By Mencken
Would Take Canada
PresSWOfnen Hear
Alec Templeton

The gradual collapse of American
democracy was predicted yesterday
by H. L. Mencken, columnist of the
Baltimore Sun, before members of
the Womens National Press Club at
luncheon at the Willard Hotel.
Answering questions with the
brevity and sarcasm which have
characterized his writings, Mr..
Menchen declared democracy, like
most things, had its good and its
bad points and that American de-
mocracy was losing its good points
f1rst..
The writer expressed his belief
that the government which would
succeed democracy would probably
be an improvement upon the present
form and that it did not necessarily
have to be a dictatorship. He also
declared the present system, which
gives a vote to millions not fit to
have voice in the government" an
obvious failure. He did not believe
he would be any worse off" under
totalitarian government than
under the present system, he added.
Mr.. Mencken also suggested that
the United States should observe
the convenient way others are cut
ting each others throats and grab
some of their goods on this side of
the ocean" Canada should be the
flrst to be annexed, as I'VE will have
to support it anyway" he said.
While admitting the American
press enjoys freedom unknown in
other countries, Mr.. Mencken denied
1t greatly affected public thought.
people don't read the papers any,
way" he said, except for the comic
strips" The radio, he added, had a
greater following than the press.
A happier note was introduced on
the program by Alec Templeton,
young Welsh pianist, who has won
fame through his radio impress
sions." Mr., Templeton presented
several. including his arrangement
of THE Mikado," and selections
from Mozart and Wagner. A piano
was placed in the small ballroom
for the purpose and it was evident
from the number of encores which
greeted the artists presentation
that it was one of the most popular
programs enjoyed at a Womans
Press Club luncheon.

presided and introduced the speak,

Women's Job Clinic
Opens at G. w. L.
With 90 Clients

The Womens Job Clinic, estab-
Hshed by the Women's Occupational
Council, opened last night In room
203, Building D, at George WASH
ington University, with an attend
anCe OF approximately 90 clients.
Both employed and unemployed, at
tended the meeting. the first of its
kind in Washington, designed to
assist women over IS to solve voca-
tlonal problems.
Mrs. William Shearon, council
chairman. offered three specific sug-
gestions for immediate action by
unemployed women over 35. These
were registration at the District OF
Columbia Employment Center. so
that consideration may be given
such registrants as the draft gets
under way; proposal that the un-
employed make a thorough, scien-
tiflc canvass Of all business concerns
for the purpose of finding out what
positions are open to, or can be de-
veloped for, qualified women over
IS, and a suggestion that mature
women entering the labor market for
the first time or after a long abb
sence, might band together and de-
velop services needed in their re-
spective communities.
Much interest was centered in two
women over so, who told of recent
experiences in securing employment
! by using the personal selling meth
ods" advocated at the clinic.
Dr. Mitchell Dreese, professor Of
educational psychology at George
Washington, outlined the objectives
Of the job clinic He also brought
greetings from President Cloyd Heck
Marvin who offered the facilities Of
the university for its use.

200 Complete Homes

Office of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration for approval, it was
announced today by H. 10y Ander-
son, district director of the F. H. A..
These applications, submitted by
seven local builders, represent the
first concerted attack in this area
on solving the low-cost housing
problem with private capital, Mr..
Anderson said. All of the homes, 1t
was said. are to be financed under
the revised regulations of Title
of the National Housing Act, under
which an equity of as little as per
cent is required by the purchaser.
The move in Washington to fill
the need for modern homes which
may be obtained with a nominal
down payment and small monthly
obligations, Mr.. Anderson declared,
reflects a course of action being
taken all over the country this year
by enlightened builders who now
realize that any great volume OF

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Modern architecture has shown
the possibilities of using more ef-
fectively the space in our houses.
When you rearrange your house this
spring it would be a good time to
make those alterations you have
wanted for so long, such as book
cases, work table or possibly the
desk, that extra cupboard or storage
area.
OF course, carpenter could do
the work, but much can be accom-
plished by members of the family in
their spare time. The unfinished
units can be bought and completed
according to your particular taste.
You could buy the necessary fur
nishings and with a few boards and
a little ingenuity completely change
the entire appearance of a room.
A suggested change is in that
small extra room found in many
houses built Is years or so ago for
more living room space. Sometimes
this space is in the form of an alcove
or reception room just off the hall.
This is an excellent place for work.

Many Varieties of Units.
Wood units of all description may
be purchased at any furniture or
department store. These may be
obtained in separate sections, groups,
In blocks or tiers of several parts.
Table tops, desk tops and cupboard
tops should be the same height so
that in combination you may have
continuous shelf area around the
room. This gives it that neat stream
lined appearance and long structural
lines. It also makes for convenience
in working, since everything is on
the same level. This Is an ideal ar
rangement for a modern library or
study.
Placing the desk in a room of this
design Is important because you want
to arrange your cupboards unit
around it in fashion so that you
may reach files, folios or records in
them without getting up. Space for

Building 21%
Over January
Washington Third
Among Cities in
Valuations

February building permit valua-
tions in larger cities of the country

retary Perkins announced today, fol-
lowing completion of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics monthly survey Of
the building industry.
All types Of building last month

except the New England and Noun
tam States shared in the gains. In
creases in the West North Central,
South Atlantic and the East South
Central States amounted to more
than so per cent, the survey revealed.
Expenditures for new residential
building were up 26 per cent. Per-
NIT valuations for new nonresident
tial building were 13 per cent higher
than In January, while valuation of
additions, alterations and repairs to
existing structures increased II per
cent.
Total building operations last
month were 6 per cent greater thar
IN February last year. Comparing
the two months, there was an in
crease of 16 per cent in residential
construction, gain of less than /
per cent in non-residential work and
IL per cent drop in money spent
for modernization.
Washington Is Third.
Washington holds third place
among the cities in valuation of
building operations for the first two
months of the year. All types of
building here, including projects of
the Federal and District govern
ments, as we'll as private activity, in
this period total S9,114,000, an in
crease of slightly less than 81 10000
