Broun, Heywood | March 19, 1930 issue

The government, even of a great nation, must have concern for little things. In a cosmic scheme which has arranged that the fall of sparrows shall be noted it is not amiss for the House or Senate to give heed to the tribulations of the individual, however humble. It is not understood what public purpose was served by dragging Mrs. Ruth G. K. Strawbridge from her pleasant Philadelphia home to tell some kindly Congressmen of what she gives her guests for supper. To be sure, there was no indication of unwillingness upon the part of Mrs. Strawbridge. She faced the limelight bravely and without flinching.
