It may come as a surprise to
most members of the House
and Senate, who regard the
pace Of their Washington life
as pretty hectic, but Ohio's
Representative Frances P. Boil
ton is looking forward to this
session of Congress as a rest
full interlude, comparatively
speaking.
While most of the Nations
lawmakers were home in their
districts last fall, tending their
political fences, Mrs. Bolton
was spending "just about the
three busiest months of my
life" in New York City as a
member Of the United States
delegation to the United Ma.
tionS.
Her congressional duties will
seem a breeze, by comparison,
the veteran legislator believes.
It is the social life which
goes along with being a U. N.
delegate that makes it such a
fierce 18-hour-a-day, six-day-
a-week grind. she declared.
The Congresswoman is a
staunch believer in this kind of
socializing. however. Those of
her colleagues who periodically
denounce the Washington
cocktail party as an iniquitous
time-waster, will not find her
in their corner.
Not all cocktail parties
serve Q useful purpose, of

Children

A compact little book, de-
signed to be a helpful guide
to visitors and native Wash
ingtonians alike, will roll off
the presses about February
Is. and will be available in
leading hotels and shops in
the city.
This will be the third year
that the Board of Lady Man
ayers Of the Children's Con-
valescent Home has compiled
Your Handbag Directory"
the proceeds from which go
to benefit the children in the
home.
The Children's Gonzales
cent Home was originally
known as the, Country Home.
and property for it was given
to the board in 1883 by the
late Mr.. Charles Carroll Glow
er. Now Mrs. Charles C. Glow
er III, is president of the
Board Of Lady Managers.
During the 20S. one of the
most brilliant affairs Of the
holiday season was the an
nual ball given by the Home
Board on Christmas night.
This was looked forward to
by both debutanteS and dow
ayers. and was preceded by
many formal dinners.
And. like the little "Your
Handbag Directory" it con-
tributed to the happiness and
comfort of youngsters in need
Of love and care.

treated Ambassador Clare
Luce, the Attorney General
and Mrs. Brownell and the
Legal Adviser to the State De-
partment and Mrs. Herman
Phleger to Gen. Smiths brand
of chow mein.
Clare, incidentally. had been
in the Carlton-Sheraton Hotel
that morning when a small
blaze sent the fire alarm clang-
ing at daybreak. She grabbed
a box of jewelry, she told them,
a book to read in case it was
a boring fire and threw a
fur coat over her trailing
filmy nightgown. The place
was sWarming with reporters
and photographers but not
one recognized her. Imagine
what a field day they would
have had about me in that get

The wives of all Republican

Mrs. Brownell, Our mental

producer, st. Joseph Lead Co..
says he believes supply will just
about equal demand.
Mr.. Ince estimates United
States lead consumption in 1854
at IL million tons, q decline Of
10 per cent from estimated 1858
use Of IL million tons. He looks
for supply consisting Of 475. 900
tons Of lead recovered from scrap
metal, United States mine pro-
duction of about 100000 tons,
and imports Of about 325. 900
tons to make up the balance.
Large imports partially crippled
the zinc business. On January q.
1858. zinc was quoted at 13 cents
a pound. East ST.. Louis. 1t had
drifted down to 10 cents by Sep
tember. and there it stayed. AS
a result. some mines closed
down, others curtailed their work
weeks and some smelters slashed
output by as much as one third.
A renewed cry went up for a
sliding scale tariff on both lead
and zinc, but the industry itself
was divided on the question.
Business continued to boom

Liquor Consumption
Up 9 Pet. for Year
By the Associated Prsss

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Ameri-
cans drank about 10 per cent
more whisky in 1853 than in the
year before. while bottled-in-
bond and straight whiskies cap
tured larger share Of the mar
ket.
Those were the highlights Of
the year for the distilling indus
try. Men in the trade say they
look for a further small increase
In consumption in 1854.
Industry estimates are that
1858 consumption of American
whisky approximated $50 million
gallons. Consumption of all dis
titled spirits-domestic and i'm
ported whisky, gin, rum, brandy
and cordials-came to around
200 million gallons, a 9 per cent.
increase over 1852.
The battle Of blends vs..
straights favored the latter n
1858. There were sharp gains in
the sale of gin, brandy and vodka
during the year. Also higher, by
about II per cent, were imports
of scotch whisky.
Stocks of whisky in United
States warehouses stand at about
a six-year supply, the lowest
since 1947 and not far above pre-
war levels. Heavy promotion Of
bonds and straights helped to
lower stocks, according to the in
dustry.

markably steady copper prices. q

The big surprise of the year
to many metals experts was that

metal began the year at the
ceiling price of 241a cents a
