of Negro womanhood was there,
as was the cream of all womanhood.
All but four of the sixteen wom-
en- named by the Council to its 1914
roll of honor were gathered under
one roof. It was truly historical.
At the head of the list was Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, named Woman
of the Year-gracious and cosmo-
politan as ever.
In the receiving line with her were
Anna Arnold Hedgeman, executive
secretary of the National Council
for a Permanent FEPC; Lillian
Smith, editor of South Today and
author of "Strange Fruit; Mary
S. Ingraham, president of the Ma
tional Board, Young Women's
Christian Association of the United
States; Mabel K. Staupers, execu-
tive secretary of the National Asso-
citation of Colored Graduate Nurses;
Alice T. Mclean, founder-p resi-
dent of the American Women's Vol
untary Services; Daisy Lampkin,
field secretary of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People; Katherine Shryver,
executive secretary of the National
Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax;
Lovonia H. Brown, founder and lieu
tenant general of the Women's
Army for National Defense; Dor
othy J. Bellanca, international vice
president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America;
Thomasina W. Johnson, legislative
representative, National Non-Parti-
san Council on Public Affairs of the
AKA Sorority, and Jeanette WEIGH
Brown, executive secretary of the
National Council of Negro Women.
Missing were Dorothy Thompson,
columnist; Lena Horne, singer and
actress; Bettye' Murphy Phillips,
first Negro woman war correspon-
dent, and Pauline Coggs, executive
secretary of the Washington Urban
League. They all had submitted
justifiable excuses for their absence.
Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas,
newly elected Democratic Congress-
woman from California, was among
the guests, as were two Chinese
women from the Chinese embassy.
Numerous women, many of whom
might easily have rated place on
the honor roll, were in attendance
as guests.
It was a woman's affair-and
never did a group of women look so
beautiful. They all were dressed in
their finest-but how can a mere
man describe them? I got in only
because I am a reporter lucky
meD.
Minks, sables, squirrels and Per-
sian lambs were in abundance, re-
vealing beneath them the latest Gre
atoms of the modistes' art and
topped by the eccentricities of the
milliners. (The hats were pretty,
thought.
You'll probably get to see some
of it. All-American News was there
taking pictures, though principally
of the honored guests. They missed
a bet by not shooting" the entire
gathering.
Mrs. Bethune was her usual gra-
cious self. And she was justly
proud Of the sculptured bust of her
self on exhibition for the first time.
It was done by the up-and-coming
sculptress, Selma Burke-who is
working also on one of President
Roosevelt.
You have to see such an affair
to really appreciate it'll.

Most Stock Leaders
| Turn Downward in
Late Selling
BY BERNARD s. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Mar. 7.-Stocks tried
for new gains today, but on In
creased selling In the late proceed
ings most leaders retreated to levels
under the previous closings.
Losses In the key divisions near
the finish ranged from fractions to
around point. At the morning
highs the pivotals were up fraction
ally with some specialties ahead a
point or more. A few of the latter
maintained a fair part of their
gains. Volume was approximately
! 100000 shares.
Inability of the steels to hold their
early advance worked against the
market although offerings were not
heavy at any time. Nevertheless
profit takers were not reluctant to
act in view of the markets further

since early September, 1887.

Capital Banks Report
Heavy Volume Of
Income Tax Loans
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington banks are making a
large number of income tax loans
for the Internal Revenue payments
due March Is, it was learned in the
financial district today, although
the number is much smaller than
before the payroll deduction plan
was adopted.
Many bank patrons are finding to
their surprise that the deductions
have not been sufficient to meet the
coming tax demands and are obliged
to call for help. Money is also being
borrowed for payments on back
taxes on which payments had been
deferred by the Government.
The loans vary greatly in size,
officials said today. While many
loans are for only 500 or 5000, a
great majority are for much larger
amounts, one officer who has been
particularly active in granting the
loans, said today.
South Enjoys Trade Boom.
The Federal Reserve Board has
Just made report on department
store sales in 1914 which shows that
the South enjoyed the largest trade
gains of any section of the country.
Sales in the Atlanta district aver
aged % per cent ahead of l943.
Knoxville had a 40 per cent gain;
Nashville, 20; Chattanooga. 81;
Jackson, Miss, 10, and New Orleans
La, 18. Some particularly good
trade gains were also registered in
the Dallas, st. Louis and Kansas
City districts.
Huntington, w. Va, led the Rich
mond district with "a per cent up
turn in 1914, with the average for
the whole area up II per cent.
Women Large Stockholders.
The annual report OF the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Co
distributed here shows 668,013 stock
holders at the end of 1914 against
651,7l1 a year earlier, the average
holdings being % shares. OF the to-
tai shares, 43.1 per cent were held
by women, 26.7 by men; IT in joint
accounts; 2l1 by trustees, insurance
companies, private firms, etc. and
IA per cent in the names of brokers.
No stockholder held as much as
one-half of one per cent of the stock
outstanding.
Transit Bonds Hold Film.
The new Capital Transit first and
refunding per cent bonds again
sold at 10412 on the Washington
Stock Exchange yesterday, un-
changed The market closed with
l0414 bid and the asked price moved
up to l05.
The bull market" in other issues
on the exchange is taking in large
number of issues, nearly all of
which are at their highs for the
year. Recently Hecht common and
Capital Transit have been the most
active stocks on the board.
Loans Exceed 1914 Mark.
Consumer installment loans at
commercial banks, small loan COM
panies, industrial banks and credit
unions declined l per cent in jan
uary, the Federal Reserve Board
reported today. The amount out
standing, however, was 8 per cent
ahead of January, 1914.
A large attendance of Washing
ton bankers is anticipated at the
special meeting this evening at the
Mayf1ower Hotel when the program
will be devoted wholly to CT loans.
There were 189 new highs on the

day, with trading in 976 issues.

Moss Point Has
Service Meeting

Basing their talks on the SUBJ
ject, Community Service" E. G..
Wood and K. w. Burnham adj
dressed members of the Moss
Point Rotary Club at their regu-
lar meeting Thursday.
Mr. Wood, mayor of Moss Point,
outlined the various problems
facing the city and how they are
being met. He stated that one of
the greatest problems of the city
was the great increase in popula-
ton since 1899.
The mayor discussed how the
city had met its problems of in
creased population and school
attendance with little increase in
tax assessment. He explained
that "of the 30 mill tax rate, IL
mills went into the bond redemp-
ton fund, IL into the school fund
and s into the general fund for
the entire maintenance and oper-
alton of the city"
In outlining the plans for the
postwar era in Moss Point, May
or Wood pointed out that the car
rying out of the plans will de-
pend mainly on good business
and revenue. Some of the prof.
ects planned for the postwar Pc
Rod as AIMED by Mr.. Wood in
clude construction of a swimming
pool, extension of the water and
gas systems, installation of storm
and sanitary sewers and c~onstruc-
ton of a new city hall.
K. w. Burnham, president OF
the Jackson County Board of Su-
pervisors, pointed out that the
leadership of the community
must be assumed by civic-mind-
ed persons and that everyone
must carry a part in the planning
and development of the commu-

But during the years that have
followed the Board of Health has
chalked up an increasingly inn
portant record of service in the
county with its ministrations

figures at the department show
that during the month of Novem-
