Welfare Board Asked
For Definite Report
On Home for Aged
Recommendations Are
Sought After Porley
With Commissioners

The Commissioners today called
on the Board of Public Welfare for
written recommendations within the
next few weeks covering plans for a
new Home for the Aged.
Commissioner Guy Mason also
disclosed that on receipt of the
boards report, the city heads will
seek a SITS, 200 deficiency appropria-
ton to improve equipment, person.
mel and food rations at the present
Blue Plains institution until new
arrangements for the care OF in
mates are made.
Problem Discussed.
Welfare Board members and the
Commissioners discussed at length
the pros and cons of building a new
institution or, as an alternative,
boarding out" inmates.
Commissioner Mason said the con-
ference was generally agreed on a
combination plan which will involve
a new institution of smaller propor-
tions than the present Blue Plains
establishment. Incurables might be
provided for at Gallinger Hospital,
he indicated. possibly through the
provision of a new wing there. and
a few might be boarded out" to
foster homes.
Commissioner Mason said the We'll
fare Board has not yet acted off,
cially on the Blue Plains problem,
but indicated the entire conference
was opposed to conditions at the
institution as revealed by personal
inspection by the Commissioners
and other ofncials a month or 50
ago.
Favor Glenn Dale Site.
The boards recommendations will
specify the size Of the proposed new
institution.
Preliminary plans and sketches al
ready have been drawn for a cot
tage-type institution of 400 beds to
be built either on section of the
present tract or on District-owned
land at Glenn Dale, Md.
The institution as Sketched would
cost an estimated s1,000,000, and
would be about two thirds the size
Of the present home. The Com
missioners. while they have not made
an oficial choice, are known to
favor the Glenn Dale location.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Action 10 Eliminate
Terrific Rents
Hopes Scale Can Be Fixed
At Figure Taken From
Normal Period

Commenting that rents here are
terrific" Mrs. Roosevelt told her
press conference today that some
thing has to be done about rents not
only in Washington, but all over the
country.
She said she nao heard a great
deal about the situation here from
friends who are having trouble with
rising rents She expressed hope
that rents could be fixed at figure
taken from a normal period.
She also told her press conference
that she planned to inquire about
the renting arrangement for the
proposed hotel for women workers
at Sixteenth and Euclid streets NV,
to see if the rents were low enough
to meet the salaries OF some Of the
defense workers. When reporter
said she understood that the mini
mum was $50 month. Mrs. Roose-
welt commented that worker
couldn't get much lower rent than
that anywhere in town.
Asked about the discussed curtail-
ment OF the Civilian Conservation
Corps and the National Youth Ad-
ministration. Mrs. Roosevelt said it
was unwise in whatever plans were
made now not to have in mind
keeping open channels and keeping
intact personnel which might be
needed again in the future.
The two youth groups could be
curtailed in some places. she said
but not where young people needed
training for defense jobs or where
the condition that brought such
groups into being still existed.
Mrs Roosevelt told her press con-
ference she thought Washington
should have a welfare center to re-
place outmoded institutions instead
Of trying to patch up the old ones
and that she was toying with the
idea of re-learning how to ride q
bicycle.

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Carolina chose for her State bird
the Carolina wren also known as
the mocking wren, bird about 5l2
inches long, with upper parts of
rusty-brown and underparts buf1y-
white. The bill is shorter than the
head and has a decided downward
curve to it. The short wings are
rounded and the tail feathers are
broadly rounded at the tip.
Darius Green once said 1.-The little
chatterin'. sassy wren. no bigger'n
my thumb" but ne surely die not
realize that this is sizable wren
and is even referred to as the Great
Carolina wren.
What does it matter as to size
when we know it is a wren, and also
know it is an eXcitable. nervous,
| talkative creature, that is rarely still
and full to the brim with curl
osity?
| 1t is joyous creature. singing
all the year round, and it has a
voice like thai of its wren cousins
This means a voice that is clear,
| loud. strong and sweet. It does not,
| however. seem as joyous in its sing
ing as the house wren. neither does
it pour out such soulful songs as
its cousin, winter wren, does. But
it likes to make itself heard. and
when not singing will call tea
kettle. tea-kettle. tea-kettle." and
by the time the third note has been
broadcast your favorable atten-
ton has been secured and you may
be rewarded by beautiful solo.
The Carolina wren is not so do
meStic as the house wren and pre-

rather than come too close to pri-

though it knows where excellent
hideouts may be sought in old
stumps, under logs or in low grow

question as to the state of health
of this wren, if you are to Judge
by its abundant energy which is
expressed in no uncertain ways by
both the voice and the ever
Wagging tail. This expressive men,
