Col. Lee Condemns
Attack Made On
Advisory Group
"UncOnstructive Political
Atmosphere" Results From
Such Misleading Charges

The following statement was
issued on March 16 by E. Brooke
Lee, Chairman of the Montgomery
County Advisory Committee, in
answer to published attack on
the committee and its recommend
atoms.
Yesterday II new members of
the continuing Board of Directors
Of the Montgomery County Charter
Committee were announced and a
lengthy attack on the personnel
and aims of the Advisory Post
War and General Planning Com
mittee of the County and the stand
ing Committee on the County
Government and the pending
County legislative program that
the committees have approved,
was issued in their name.
Half of this political blast of
lne Charter nigh command is de-
voted 70 an attack upon the per-
sonnet of our Committee. The per-
sonnet Of both of these committees
has been printed and generally cir
culated in Montgomery County.
The Advisory Planning Committee
has q membership of 700 represen-
tative County residents, of whom
about 200 are active Democrats or
County officials, or were associat-
ed with the Committee to defeat
the Charter.
1t IS my considered opinion that
the failure to respond TO these mis-
leading and inaccurate charges,
which are of such a pronounced
political nature, from Charter,
Cigics: or leaders of other activi-
ties here in the county, has cont
riauted ito a large extent to the

Montgomery leads the suburban
counties in the Washington area
of the Red Cross War Fund drive
and is second to Arlington in PEI
centages collected at the halfway
mark, Col. A. H. Hobley, USA,
retired, chairman of the county
war fund committee, announced.
Montgomery has subscribed
more than $4,000, or 80 per
cent of the $4,000 goal. Nine of
it's 10 areas have exceeded their
quotas, although collections are
not complete, Colonel Hobley said.
They are the Annie M. Wilson
Branch at Kensington, Damascus,
Jamestown, Seneca, Germantown,
Laytonsville, Poolesville, Potomac,
Rockville and Washington Grove.
Outstanding last week was Da-
mascus, where teams captained by
Mrs. B. M. Woodfeld, had col
lected 248 per cent of it's quota,
or $1811.
Highest in percentage among the
larger groups are Chevy Chase,
with $16,220 Or "a per cent; Sill
yer Spring, with $4,000 or 78 per
cent, and Bethesda, with $16,500,
or IS per cent of its quota.
Colonel Hobley pointed out that
while this years quota is an all
time high, representing an in
crease over 1914 of $4,000, the
campaign is much further adj
vanced than at this time last year.
Sunday was observed "Red Cross
Sabbath" in many county churches,
when appeals were made for the
remaining contributions. The day
ended gayly as the county Joined
the Nation and listened to the
"Quiz Kids" and the Senators.
Letters are coming daily in en-
thusiastic support of the Red Cross
from the men who have benefited
by its services overseas. One Of
these comes from 1t. Charles r.
Weaver, of Garrett Park, who

initiative in the choosing of a new
profession for women in a day when
such "strong-mindedness" was not
only daring but an unconventional
procedure.
When she was teaching a country
school near her home at the age of
16, she heard about something called
stenography, which had to do with
certain symbols and pothooks that
stood for the abbreviation of words.
These words could be transcribed
too, on strange contraption known
as typewriter.
BY the painstaking saving of $3.50
a week from her tiny teacher's S
salary of $50 per month, she accu-
mulated enough for her tuition and
board for the prescribed course OF
lessons at the Chaffee School OF
Shorthand and Typewriting in Os-

First Pay So a Week.
Her first position was with the
st. Lawrence County Fire Machinery
Co. Of New York, where she re-
ceived the princely salary of So per
week. When a member of the
patent firm Of Doubleday & Bliss
Of this city offered her $50 a month
II she would come to Washington
and work for them, with the promise
OF raise to $65, and then to $75
within the year, if she made good,
she felt that wealth beyond her
dreams of advance was already with
in her grasp. She came to Wash
ington in 1880.
Presently, an opportunity came to
do some extra work for a member
of Congress, William Springer of
Illinois, after her own days work
was done with Doubleday & Bliss.
She went for two weeks and wound
up by securing fun-time employ
ment for two years.
Then, came proposition that she
become a public stenographer at
the Capitol, with her own little desk
just outside one of the cloakroom
doors to the House. John G.. Carlisle,
then Speaker, was the first to give
her employment in connection with
legislation then before the House.

During one of the vacations of
Congress, she was offered an op-
portunity to become the first public
stenographer at the Willard Hotel,
a post which she regularly filled for
many years
The most interesting piece of work
she undertook was the transcription
OF little diary kept by President
Johnson's secretary, Col. Moore,
whose notes were in such microscopic
shorthand that she could seldom
work out more than a page an hour.
This transcription of Miss Fox's was
subsequently used as the basis of

biographical portrayal of that period
which enveloped the Nation when
President johnson took over after
the assassination of President

With the expanding volume of
work Miss Fox established herself
