Relief Society will observe i its centennial, cen-tennial, marking. one hundred years since this great women's organiza- ' tion was founded. The Relief Society came into being on March ,17, ' 1842 in Nauvoo, 111 when it was organized under the personal direction of, Joseph Smith, the Prophet. During the one hundred hun-dred years which have elapsed, the Relief Society has stayed closely to the original purpose for, which it was founded: "Looking to the wants of the poor, searching after objects of charity, and . in administering to iheir wants; to assist by correcting the morals and strengthening the Virtues -of the community." Today, the Relief-' Society has grown to a membership of '1 13,000 ' and is known as one of the largest and most compactly organized of all women's organizations. . ..... t ' . Among the many activities oi tne Relief Society, one in particular came into the national spotlight during dur-ing the World War I the collecting . 0 . and storing oi wheat, a practice ' which had grown out of the pioneer .era in Utah. At the time of the war the Relief Society women had 100,-:000 100,-:000 bushel of wheat in .storage, all 4 of which was sold to the government govern-ment food administration to fill an urgent need at that particular time. The price was $412,000. This money was wisely placed in: trust at that 'time, and-the -interest therefrom is distributed to all the ward and The IIIIIIHIi HIMMIHHWMHIWIIIIIHIW .... ............... ......... Washington Me r r y rV Daily Picture of What's Going On In National WASHINGTON Several smart Democratic leaders, whose business- it is to know the political pulse of the . country., have returned to Washington from quiet look-see trips with a very gloomy , report on the party's ,'prospects in the coming- crucial congressional elections. Naturally they are not broadcasting- this, but privately they are bluntly warning- White House masterminds that unless they get busy, the ' President stands a good chance of waking- up the morning- after election next November to find himself in the same unhappy predicament of Woodrow Wilson in 1918 with the Republicans Repub-licans in control of Congress. Iii fact, one of the surveyors expresses the opinion that if the election were heKl this spring- the GOP would be certain to win the House. A number of factors were reported as responsible re-sponsible for the widespread undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the Administration. rceit One was the appointment of Mrs. Roosevelt's dancer-nroteere to a S4.60O Civil Defense iob. This is said to have cut very was the sensational disclosures of, enormous profits on war contracts. A third Jesse Jones' failure to take adequate measures to prevent a rubber shortage. Still another the apparent bungling: of the Southwest Pacific battle. But the chief causes were laid directly on the President's own doorsteps: (1) His failure ' to compel a complete halt of labor stoppages ; in war production, promised by both the JTFL, and CIO and not fulfilled (2) His stubborn refusal to replace the "Four Old Men and Secretary Perkins in his cabinet with young, able and vigorous executives. .The inquiring- - Democratic leade r s reported re-ported that everywhere they found people angry and mystified over the President's reluctance re-luctance to take a firm stand on labor stoppages stop-pages and to clean out the deadwood in his cabinet. ISOLATED The mystery is just as great to inner Ad-minis Ad-minis trationites, because privately he has evinced much concern over the continuance of labor disturbances and a definitely critical attitude toward some of his cabinet. The President's failure to act on these, and many other domestic problems crying- for attention, at-tention, is attributed by some Admmistration-itea Admmistration-itea to his . deep absroptlon in the purely mil-itary mil-itary phases of the war. As perhaps no other President in the history " of the country, Roosevelt is. directly and per-, sonally bossing the strategy and operations of the Army and Navy. He takes very literally the language in the Constitution that the President Presi-dent . is. the commander-in-Chief . of the armed forces. The result of this absorption in military matters mat-ters has been largely, to isolate the President from -civilian contacts and a sound grasp of the real temper -of the country. Once , he! used to pride himself on his keen knowledge, of public sentiment. He , traveled v about the country , frequently and widely, saw every. week a wkle Variety of persona from different dif-ferent sections, and made it a point to keep in close contact' with members of Congress.

AHaa House for a chat and a non-military or non-war non-war visitor is a rare exception. And it has been more than a year since the President has gone anywhere except to Hyde Park or Warm Springs. . - Further, the administrative assistants that he has around him are utterly useless in keeping keep-ing him informed, of what's going on. They have neither the caliber nor capacity to do that. Acutely aware of this situation, Democratic leaders feel very strongly . that the t President should get out into the country. They believe it would do him a lot of good and be a real lift to the people. , Presidential traveling In time of war undoubtedly un-doubtedly presents security problems, but it is believed these can be 'overcome. It is contended con-tended that it would not be difficult for the President to visit some military camps for a personal contact with the men and indirectly through them with their home folks. The President Presi-dent has not visited a military establishment since 1940. Democratic chiefs think it is time that he' did so as soon as the weatler permits. MEIXETTS BUGHOUSE The ways of bureaucrats are wondrous to t-ehold! The Office of Price Administration is one of the key war agencies. Located In temporary buildings directly opposite the War Production Board, OP A needs additional space to handle the steadily growing problems of the rationing administration. So what do the bureaucrats propose? To move OP A to a remote place on the outskirts of Washington. This despite the fact that OPA's ready - accessibility ac-cessibility is of the utmost Importance to the smooth functioning of the war machinery. Also despite the fact that a block of park area in the heart of . the Capital on historic Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania Avenue between 14th and 15th Streets-has Streets-has been grabbed by Laowell Mellett, White House administrative assistant, .to build his clipping clip-ping bureau agency, the OffTce of Government Reports, an office building plus an . amazing so-called "Information Center."

Glass bottles will take their place and they wont be any fancy bottles, bot-tles, either. Think of all the women who have been cooking with can openers for .years and will have to learn all over again with bottle openers. Tennis balls and baseball cores will be made of reclaimed rubber instead of crude rubber or latex. The substitutes won't be as lively, but they'll wear as well. The golf ball crisis hasn't been solved yet. ' Buyers of hot water bottles, ice bags and all other rubber products still on the shelves have been requested re-quested to go on strike and report re-port the dealers if the prices seem too high. The same suggestion goes for 11 canned fruits and 15 canned vegetables, on which price ceilings have been slapped at the canner's and wholesalers' level. Silk and nylon being reserved for parachutes, surgical thread and bags for powder the shooting shoot-ing kind rayon is to be supplied the hosiery mills instead and you'll year rayon hose and like them.

Parris laid his hand over hers, and she seized it with both of hers. "I saw what was left on a table!" Louis bit her lips hard. . "You must find out. There was a man who - helped my father.
