WOmen's Press
Club Addressed
BY Mrs. Rathbone

Housekeeping in England is about
800 per cent more difficult than 1t
was before the war. but the English
housewife Is the "unsung heroine
of her country's war effort, accord
ing to an American-born member
of Parliament, Mrs. Beatrice Clough
Rathbone.
How to provide a nutritive, we'll
balanced diet from limited choice
of foods is but one of her duties,
Mrs Rathbone said yesterday. The
housewife often shares her home
with evacuees, and is usually en-
gagged in community war services,
she pointed out.
There are no medals for her, no
uniforms or brass bands, but she Is
keeping up the spirits Of her family
at a time when normality Is needed
as it never was before, the speaker
declared.
Mrs Rathbone. who addressed a
luncheon meeting of the Women's
National Press Club. also cited as a
remarkable achievement" the fact
that England has managed to have
more social reforms now than be-
fore the war.
while she is fighting with her
right hand, she is building with her
left" she declared.
More children receive milk now
than before the war, she declared,
and more have well-balanced mid
day meals at school. More attention
also is being given to the welfare
of women in factories and there are
more maternity centers and nurs-
cries, she said.
The death rate from disease also
was lowered last winter, she added.
Pointing to a spirit of unity now
prevailing in England, Mrs. Rath-
bone remarked that there's no
leveler like the ration book"
Youthful and slim, Mrs. Rath-
bone is the widow of a Royal Air
Force officer who was killed in &C
ton. She won her place in Parlia-
ment in an uncontested election in
the district which her husband for
merly represented.
Until her arrival in New York
last week, Mrs. Rathbone had not
seen her two children for two years.
She will spend the Christmas holi-
DAYS with them in Washington.
Among women members of Con-
eresS who attended the luncheon
was Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers. who

By CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

BY bAINbh1DOE ShlSI.
Metropolis View Citizens Asso-
citation now is headed by an author
ity on prehistoric man and ancient
cultures and a relative OF the man
who originally named the section.
DR.. George S. Duncan, newly
elected president of the group, is
professor of Egyptology and Assyri-
ology at the graduate school OF
American University, where he
teaches anthropology and archie
ology.
An ordained Presbyterian min
lister, Prof. Duncan was recently re-
elected for third term as president
of the Presbyterian Ministers Asso-
citation, which includes some 40
churches in Washington and vicin-
ity. He is also dean of the school
of religion of the Y. NJ C. A.
Wrote Several Books.
Prof. Duncan said in an interview
yesterday that he had made three
trips through Egypt, Palestine. Syria
and Greece, doing archaeological
work and study. He made his last
trip, he said, just before the present
World War broke out. Going into
the library of his home at 290O Sew
enth street NE. Prof. Duncan
pointed out various relics that he
had picked up during his travels.
Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, Prof.
Duncan studied at Williams College,

Phi. D. from Dickinson. In addition
to writing number of monographs
and articles on archaeology, he is
also the author of several books, in
Guiding Archaeology and the Bible, +"
prehistoric Man" and Outline In
PRODUCTION of the New Testament"
Prof. Duncan said that a relative,
William o. Denison, had originally
named the area, in which his house
is located, Metropolis View, because
of the broad panorama of the city
from nearby st. Pauls College.
Although the city has grown up
around his home and there is a row
OF houses across the street. his house
stands alone next to a vacant field,
and there is touch of country in his
backyard with its rose-covered side
fence, tall holly tree in one corner
and its large rosebushes near the
back porch, whose care are sort of
hobby with him. In the center of
his yard is a bird bath, where, he
said, even a few quail come once in
a while. And, adding to the rustic
touch, is barn in the corner of
the yard, under which a wild rabbit
finds refuge in a busy city.

Repair Shop
Status Under
Discussion

Board of Education members are
working on a plan to redeflne the
relationship of the District Repair
Shop to the school officials and ex-
pect to confer with the Commis-
sioners on it in the near future.
Under the present setup the re-
pair shop is under the Commission
ers. although very large percentage
of its work is on the school build
ings. School officials have COM
planned that many times they were
unable to get repairs requested from
the repair shop as emergency.
Civic groups, too. have COM
planned to school officials at the an
nual meetings prior to preparation
of the school budgets that neces-
sary repairs to schools in their
vicinities are not being taken care
of. Much of the problem, Supt.
Frank w. Ballou has frequently in
dicated. is due to inadequate ap-
propriaeions The Federation of
Citizens Associations. after an in
vesigation by its Education Com
mittee. refused to indorse a proposed
transfer of the repair shop control
from the Commissioners to the
Board of Education. but did ask
that school items be given priority
At the present time the repair
shop operates under Commission
ers' order of 1927 in which the pro-
cedure for asking repairs is estab-
lished. The schools submit repair
requests under the classiications
emergency" essential" and de
sirable." School officials contend
these classifications are far from
clear and are sometimes disregarded
by the repair shop. which is enabled
to establish its own priority list.
A sample of the complaints that
are repeatedly made to the school
officials is the demand for new
roof at Western High School.
