A. “HOSTEL” TO TEACH YOUNG WOMEN HOW TO RUN HOTELS The Grace Dodge Hostel, North Capi- tol and E streets, one of the latest creations of the national board of the Young Woman's Christian Association, is intended to fulflll the double function | of a convenient ‘and inexpensive place for women .to live and a “hotel labora- | tory,” where important experiments may be tried, according to Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, jr., chairman of the hous- ing committee of the association, under whose supervision it was erected. “It is_hoped that the students may ! be sent here from the home economics departments of colleges to -receive practical training and, on leaving, be able to accept positions as managers or heads of dcpartments in the smaller | hotels of the country.” said Mrs. Rockefeller, who has just been here as one of the guests of honor at the| world-service luncheon given by Mrs. | Lansing. president. and the ~other | directors of the local association. “The hotel is designed. first of all, Treaty for Extraditing Will- ful Family Deserters From } Canada Commended. | i Ratification by the United~ States | y between this country Britain m « minor tradit ‘ana Lit-year fight, a William H.

Mr. Baldwin as-| serted that the war has_increas. | family desertion not only in Canac but in th country, due apparently restlessness caused by the temporary severing of home ties by so many oldiers. and also to unsettled condi- tions followinz the armistice. Negotiation Dates Back to 1913, The negotiation for the treaty was begun by Secretary Knox on Febru- | ary 13, 1913, and after con: time spent by the British government in obtaining the approval of all the ! provinces of Canada, Se 3 | | this consent had been treaty would concluded, serted. 1t was signed in London on January 15, . and submitted by President Wilson' to the Senate for its approval on January 31, 1911. Objection was made by a member of the Senate committec on foreign ions on the ground that, as it drawn, the treaty applied f this objection, but cspecial atter was not urged upon the ate until Congress met in De. last, Mr. Baldwin said. When Sen- ator Lodge brought the matter up at a meeting called on December 5, 1920, for the purpose of acting on the treaty, the committee on foreign re- lations voted inst ratification. On February 2, 1 the committee on foreign relations voted to recommend the ratification of the treaty with an amendment limiting it to children. The treaty was reported to the Sen- ate on March 7, 1921, and was ratified on “April 27, 1 Desertions imerous in Canada. When the British government ac-| cepts the amendment striking out wife desertion and the treaty is pro- claimed, it will mark a decided step forward in this fleld, said Mr. Bald- win. “Rev. Peter Bryce of Toronto, chair- man of the mothers' allowance com- mittee of Ontario, and Rev. Gilbert Agar, general secretary of the social service council there, who were here a week ago to consult with me and George S. Wilson of the board of charities in regard to family deser- tion matters,” said Mr. Baldwin,| “stated that desertion is increasing in Canada and that most of the de- serters from their vicinity come to the United States because they are safe here. Many deserters from the | United States, especially from places along the border, find refuge in Can- | ada in the same way. A man deserted his family in Youngstown, Ohio, four years ago and went to Canada, leav- ing his children and a wife. The wife earned what she could by sewing, but, the children have been charity charges ever since. Although the location of the father in Canada was known all the time, he could not be touched. ‘Several months since, however, it was found he had gone to Los Ange- les, Calif., and extradition proceed- ings were immediately begun. He would have been brought back to Ohio had it mot been for an over- zealous charity worker, who wired the Los Angeles police asking for his arrest, not realizing that he would not be arrested without a! requisition from the Governor of Ohio. “This incident shows how improba- ble it i that injustice would be done under the treaty, because requisi- tiona will not be granted unless the tate Department as well as the gov- ernor of the state in which the pro- cedings originate is satisficd by mple evidence that the man has to care for the business and pro- fessional women employed by the government and for transients,” she continued. “Many women g0 to Washington on business, while thou- sands go as tourists. It is these whom the hotel sceks to serve. More time and thought have been glven to the operating equipment than to anything else. The health and con- venience of the employes have been | specially considered.” The Grace Dodze THostel was the result of a request for aid from_ the war work council of the Y. W. C.
