put them in the little black

Indoor gardening"
Not since the Cardiff Giant
has anything been so mis-
leading as the color photo
graphs which invariably &C
company the article. Nobody,
not even Mr.. Burbank him
self, could ever have so many
plants in riotous bloom at
one time-camelliaS, azaleaS,
yellow callas, hyacinths, be-
goniaS, anthuriums, and At
rican violetS.
Besides, if you could afford
these dollhouse products,
you'd be in Palm Beach any
way.
Still, when winter comes,
and thin sunlight and the
Sirocco from the radiator
cannot coax a single bloom
from your house plants, what
can you do about your indoor
Eden?
The answer: Come on,
cheat a little with artificial
flowers.
Artificial flowers were once
fighting words to anyone
with taste, but the term then
meant crepe paper, sweet
peas and wax roses next to a
ketchup bottle, and gilded
cat-tails on an upright piano.
Now, these posieS, made of

are artistic triumphS.

Bill Would Allow
Capitol Employees
Auto Exemption

Everybody who works at the
Capitol could be excused from
carrying District drivers Ii
censes and auto registrations,
under a bill with bipartisan
backing in the House.
Capitol employees would have
to show that they are legal
residents of a State and en-
titled to register their cars at
home.
Representative Edmondson,
Democrat of Oklahoma, told a
House subcommittee this morn
ing that some 5000 admins
trative" employees of Congress
now were exempt from hcens-
ing in the District. He saw no
reason why secretaries, for ex-
ample, with less money to
spend than administrators, I"
should not be allowed the same
privilege.
Administrative officers Of
the Senate and House have
been able to drive in the Dis
trict with home-State licenses
since 1925.
Spokesman for the District
protested the exemptions, and
said the number of persons ex-
empted might total 10000.

40 Plus Assists Men
Over 40 to Get Jobs

Similar Forty Plus groups
have been organized in IL 9TH

organized in Boston in 1898.
Carefully Screened
Men who apply for member

fore they come into the organ

requisites is that a man must
have been earning at least
$1,000 a year before he can
apply.

bulletins go out.
A knowledge of more than
one language is a great asset,
also, Mr.. Ertz said.
For example, in March, there
were 19 members who could
speak a total of IA different
languages. Six of them were
multilingual.

There's an office here with
a staff of 10 whose chief can
make an amazing boast:
Everybody here gets his salary
tripled every three days"
Simmer down, Congressman!
It's not a new Government
agency. It's a private group
called Forty Plus. and the rea-
son its president, Charles C.
Ertz, can make that statement
and prove it is simple: the
whole staff works for nothing.
Forty Plus Of Washington is
a cooperative. non-profit or
ganization composed of execu-
dves and professional men who
banded together eight years
ago to help qualified people
over 40 to get jobs. 1t occupies
a small, two-room office at 80
Eighteenth street, NV.
80 per cent Placed
According to its records,
Forty Plus has been successful
in placing 80 per cent of the
675 men who have belonged to
the organization since 1854.
No placement fee is charged
either the member or the en-
ployer. However, a SIS in
itiation fee is charged and
monthly dues for active men,
bers are SIS. When a member
has been placed in a job, he
no longer needs to pay the
dues.
Each active member puts in
2 days a week, manning the
office phone, tipping letters,
keeping records, or doing any
one of a number of office
duties.
The firm also has associate
memberships. These are men
who cannot work at the office
but still want their talents
marketed. They pay So a
month dues.
The money is used to pay
for rent, supplies. and the
printing and mailing of
monthly bulletins to the 430
private business and Govern
ment offices who have re-
quested them.
