F0RJ0MES1S Success of First Venture by District W. P. A. Leads to Expansion Program.

The District Works Progress Ad- ministration's first venture into the field of training unemployed women for domestic service has turned out to be such a success that Mrs. Mary Steele, director of woman's W. P. A. projects, is pushing plans to Inaugu- rate three more "schools.”

Since the W. P. A. can furnish only the labor costs, more materials must be contributed by interested organi- zations—things like luncheon cloths, tablecloths, napkins, butter spread- ers, spoons, salt and pepper shakers, pitchers, carving knives and forks, service plates, chop plates, finger bowls, fruit knives, salad forks, card trays, ash trays, gravy ladles, brooms, mops, dusting cloths and other ar- ticles.

Organizations Help. Mrs. Steele and Margaret Selvig,

project supervisor, already have dis- cussed the new "schools” now under consideration with representatives of a number of women’s organizations, who are giving not only moral sup- port, but needed materials as well. The group met Tuesday at the only "school for household workers" now

going—at 1114 O street. W. P. A. officials and the organiza-

tion representatives plan to work with a Committee on Standards, organized by the Young Women's Christian Association, to attempt to set up standards of wages and hours for household workers. Since domestics are not included in the District's Min- imum Wage Act, it is hoped that some sort of code of ethics can be drawn up, based on the "voluntary agreement” developed by the National Committee on Household Employ- ment, which generally agree that "total working hours shall not exceed 60 a week, with two half days or one whole day off duty.”

One for South Washington. One new school would be located in

South Washington and one in North- east Washington. The location of the third new one has not been announced as yet.

Among those present at the Tuesday meeting were Mrs. Daniel C. Roper, wife of the Secretary of Commerce; Mrs. Jean Brown, Women’s Bureau, Department of Labor; Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, Mrs. Loren B. T. John- son, chairman. House Committee, Women's Democratic Club; Mrs. Rod- ney Bean, chairman, Industrial Com- mittee, Y. W. C. A.; Miss Myrtle Cohen, director, Juanita K. Nye Set- tlement House; Mrs. Ruth Snodgrass, District of Columbia Federation of Women’s Clubs; Mrs. Charles Hershey, Southwest Citizens’ Association; Mrs. David Cushman Coyle, secretary, Washington Self-Help Exchange; Mrs. John Ihlder, wife of the chairman of the Alley Dwelling Authority; Miss Ruth Sheldon, Home Economics De- partment, Washington Gas Co.; Mrs. P.

j ran TO f _E_ADANIS 65-Year-Old Actress Once

Again Delights Audience in “Chantecler.”

By the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. Insistent cheers called 65-year-old Maude Adams back to the stage here last night after another successful per- formance of Rostand’s ‘‘Chantecler.”

As thrilled as when nearly three decades ago she had her own first night as the star of the French play, Miss Adams told her audience:

"My work with this play has given me something I will cherish the rest of my life. You have made me very happy.”

A capacity crowd of nearly 1,000 lavished applause as a cast of 150

Stephens College girls revived, under the famous actress’ directorship, the play which gave Miss Adams one of her two favorite roles. /

Miss Adams, who recently ended

several years’ retirement at Stephens College, showed the strain of her two months’ preparation. Leaning on a

companion, she said: "In these days when every one is

telling us we must watch the clock and warning us we must not do too much, it is good to have some one like Rostand tell us that is all wrong."

Miss Adams herself has not been watching the clock. She has risen at 5 a.m. and retired at 10 p.m., devoting most of her 17-hour day to work on

"Chantecler," which provided her one of her two favorite roles. The other was "Peter Pan." ✓

Rostand points out that man must do the work assigned him, even though it does not seem great or wonderful.
