BETH BLAINE

All last winter Mrs. John Jepp-

Nurses recruiting program and
now her Red Cross work is with
public relations. How she man
ages to give as much time as
she does to volunteer war work
and still run her charming little
Georgetown house SO efficiently
is a marvel to her friends-who
say she is one of the worlds best
housekeepers.
The Jeppsons came to Wash
ington from their home in Wor-
cester, Mass, about two years
ago. Mr.. Jeppson was then with
OPN. Now he is in the Navy.
a lieutenant q. g. and serves as
a liaison officer between the
WPB and the Navy-assigned by
the Navy to the Office Of procure
ment and materials. After four
months of searching. the Jepp-
sons found a little red brick
house in Georgetown, with a
garden and five open fireplaces,
but very much in need of repairs.
They got the owner to do it over
and in they moved. Mrs. Jeppson
was allowed to select the color
schemes and the wall papers and
she brought her own lovely an
tiques down from Worcester and
now it is one of the sweetest and
most comfortable little houses
imaginable.
AS soon as the Jeppsons were
settled and the house running
smoothly Mrs. Jeppson took the
Junior League provisional course.
Then she went back to Worces-
ter and had her second baby,
a darling little girl now a year
and half old. (The first born
is boy two-and-a-half) Then
she came back to Washington
and began her war work in
earnest. She gave three full
days a week to the nurses re-
cruiting program, checking and
classifying the application forms.
She took the Red Cross staff
assistance course, so is qualified
for the clerical work she now
is doing with public relations.
Mrs. Jeppson is young, blond
and pretty. She was graduated
from Smith College in 1899,
married her husband when he
was still at Harvard-the busi-
ness school-and went to
Cambridge with him until he
finished the course. She loves
Washington and finds that
living here in wartime is almost
like a school reunion, so many
OF her old friends are living
here, too.

Judge Hits Leniency
In Liquor Law Cases

The practice of letting off vio-

troll Act with small fines was sharp
ly criticized in Municipal Court yes
terday by Judge Almond Scott.
Judge Scott refused to accept the
recommendation Of the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office that a small
fine be levied against Amanda Rich
ardson, colored, first block of Myrtle
street NE, whom the judge said was
a previous violator of the ABC Act.
Her attorney had asked that she be
permitted to withdraw a not-guilty
plea and enter a guilty plea, with
the understanding that the Cor
poration Counsel's Office would rec
ommend small fine.
Its a mockery of the law to do
that in cases of repeated offenders, y

| Accidents on
Hurry, Fatigue

Every home needs Mrs. Fixit,"
DR.. Irma G. Nevins said yesterday
before gathering of women's club
representatives at the Washington
Junior Board of Commerce Dutch
treat luncheon in the Chinese Room
of the Hotel Maynower.
DR.. Nevins, assistant national di-
rector of accident prevention for
the American Red Cross, spoke to
the group in connection with the
Home Safety Day sponsored yes
terday by the Washington Junior
Board Of Commerce as a part OF
its "Smash-the-Seventh- Column
Week"
Accidents are caused and not
bound to occur" DR.. Nevins said.
Within 10 years, 10000 people have
been killed in home accidents, and
that number is increasing today,
she said.
People don't know how to pro-
tect themselves from accidents and
there Is no one to tell them what
to do as in industry and the various
branches of the service" she point
ed out. with the increase of
women in employment. they are
obliged to carry double duty, that
of their home and that of their
job"
To insure Home Safe Home"
and to make citizens more safety
conscious, the American Red Cross
Is holding an accident prevention
course dealing exclusively with
home and farm accidents to aid
men. women and children to work
efficiently.
DR.. Nevins blamed accidents on
needless hurrying, fatigue and
change from inactivity to activity.
| Elimination of home accidents can
be accomplished, she said, in four
ways: First, being sure that all
home construction, such as weak
step, Is mended; second. by cover
ing all mechanical installation, such
as hot-water pipes; third, by avoid
ing carelessness and fourth, by re-
fusing to allow emotional disturb
ances to disturb common sense.
With the mother employed or
busy with canning and other house
hold duties, DR.. Nevins stressed the
Importance Of supervised places for
children to play now that trans
portation has made 1t impossible
for children to enjoy activities away
from home. Children need the
freedom to move about, but with
direction" she said.
DR.. Nevins was introduced by Miss
Ann DeWar, master of ceremonies
and conductor of the 'Dreamhouse
Reporter" program over WMAL.
Others at the speakers table in
cluded Mrs. Paul v. McNutt, Mrs.
James Doolittle, Fred Nauheim,
