Politics also interested Mrs. Brown
at an early age. She realized how
closely political activities are inter-
woven with all city, State and Ma
tional legislation, she said.
"As girl I was interested In my
fathers efforts toward improving
conditions for the workingman and
securing for him better wages and
housing" she explained.
That's what makes me such an
ardent New Dealer" she continued.
Il feel that the poor people are
getting a chance in a working de-
mocracy."
Mrs. Brown also believes that Mr..
Roosevelt'S administration has
brought broader national thinking
on the part of Americans.
Even our young people are inter-
ested in the Government" she de-
clared. "They discuss all phases of
1t and consider it as much their
problem as that of older people.
When we were children, we didn't
even know what was around the
corner"
Mrs. Brown has Travelled extern
sively and frequently accompanied
her husband on inspection trips to
Central America. She lived some
time in Panama and three years ago
spent the winter with relatives in
Rome.
Sees Job for Women
In Improving Cities.
Civic management Of cities and
towns in other countries, as well as
at home, has long been of interest
to her.
Il believed in municipal franchise
before I did the general franchise"
she remarked. Il think women
should have a leading part in the
Identification and educational pro-
grams of their cities"
Deploring the slums and unsiehtlv
spots of many of the Nations lead
ing cities, Mrs. Brown said, II am al
ways depressed by Americans travel
ing abroad and speaking of the pitt
ful slums in the old countries. We
have many worse in our own cities"
Although she declares she is not
Joiner" Mrs. Brown believes in
club work for women.
Il believe in joining one club" she
concluded, land working intensively
for its objectives."
Mrs. Brown practices what she
breaches. In spite of personal sor-
row shortly after her Inauguration
as president of the Democratic Club.
she has fulfilled her duties with efi-
cheney and fidelity, while there has
been a steadily increasing member
ship at the meetings and functions
