Mount Vernon arc nt hnlf-masttodn.
OhleC Justice White, 'chairman of
tin Aflrlsory Committee' of tho Ladles'
Association, lies dead In Washington.
It was hi assurance to, tho nssocla
tlon that their title to George Wash
ington's mansion and estate was Incon
testable that gave the women such con
fidence in their position.
There ,ls, . T And, another 'unique

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. The effort has been not only
