Ii ' "Mount Vernon Ladles' Association" V la the charter name. It, Is everywhere mpoaslzed. ho pUDllcanonn of the association even emphasise the "ladles' " Idea. The new ngp with Its emphasis on the word "woman" Instead of "ladies" has perhaps, every thing to do with this. At any rate it is not essential to the question and does not rise above tho dignify of a ouibblo. , v $200,000 Reserve Fund "The ladles have done n memorable thing' In preserving Washington's home. Thsy have paid in full the purchase price and have a reserve fund of 200,OW. Attempts to wrest tho ownership and management of Mount Vernon from the hands of tho association have been midt In the past, but not with tho de termination of the present effort. For years there was an nttorney regularly retained by certain interests In 'Washinuton to ,bring this question before Congress at each session. Among tho complaints wero that the number of paid officials was out of pro- Sortion to the work required. A resl ent superintendent, Vcsident assistant superintendent and a resident engineer it large salaries for a mansion and farm af 230 acres. . If some of the salaried employes were dispensed with the estate could be made free to the peoplo of the nation, and with an appropriation from the Gov ernment, these surplus employes could be dispensed with. ' Charter Authorizes Charge These arguments, however, do not bear scrutiny. The association Is a private corporation. It can employ as anv nald officials an it may deem de sirable.
