C, POLITICAL PARLEY 1S DUE TOMORROW People’s Legislative Service Sponsors Series of Con- * ferences at Capitol. Plans have been completed for the series of conferences here tomorrow and Saturday under auspices of the Peoples’ Leglislative Service. The ob- ject of the conference is to secure combined action in Congress on a pro- sram of progressive legislation by democrats and republicans. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, republican, and Representative Hud- dleston of Alabama, democrat, leaders of the movement, announced that the plans contemplated a meeting behind closed doors tomorrow in the room of the Senate committee on agricul- ture. The statement sald: “In order that there may’be full and free discussion ‘upon’ the impor- tant subjects of legislation “which will be taken up for consideration, the conference will meet behind closed doors. Any statements which sena- tors or representatives may care to make to the press will be given out after the deliberations of the confer- ence are concluded.” Lint of Conferees. Saturday’s meeting will be open and will be attended by others than the congressional group who are in sym- pathy with the movement for a pro- gressive bloc in Congress. The list of conferees, as given out by Senator La Follette, follows: The senators and senators-elect are: Henry F. Ashurst, Arizona; William E. Borah, ldaho; Smith W. Brookhart, Iowa; Arthur Capper, Kansas; Joseph! 1. France, Maryland; Lynn J. Frazler, North Dakota; Edwin F. Ladd, North Dakota; Robert La Follette, Wis- consin; George W. Morris, Nebraska: Robert L.

' Originally the list included the name of Senator Walsh of Massachu- setts, democrat, but last night Sen- ator Walsh announced that he would not attend and issued a statement giving his reason, that while in sym- pathy with some of the progressive legislation proposed, he would mnot| join a bloc movement in Congress. The statement said: “My altention has been called to the fact that my name is included in the of those who are to attend the meeting called by Senator La Fol- lette. There is no reason whatsoever why Senator La Follette should put my name in the list. Mr. La Follette did show me the progressive pro- gram, and 1 was in_sympathy with many of the proposed measures, The fact that I am not to attend this meeting, and 1 never proposed to at- tend it, does- not mean that I am not sympathetic with progressive meas- ures. But I will have nothing what- soever to do with any bloc organiza- tion, and this appeals to be a bloc movement.” Tha!Saturday meeting will be fol- lowed by a dinner that night at the City Club, at which the principal speaker will be Samuel J. Untermeyer of New York. Former Representative Keating of Colorado will act as toast- master. Former Senator Bristow of Kansas will talk on “A Word From the Old Progressives.” Senator La Follette will report upon what has been accomplished by the Peoples Legislative Service in the two years in which it has been organized. Basil M. Manly, director of the Peoples Legislative Service, author- izes the following statement: “The conference of progressives, called under the auspices of the Peoples Legislative Service, to meet in Washington December 1 and 2, will be concluded by a dinner given in honor of the new progressive sena- tors, representatives and Eovernors. The dinner will be at the Men's City Club, 1320 G street, on Saturday even- ing at 7:30. Arrangements for accom- modating 800 people have been made, and several hundred reservations from nearby cities have been received. A large number from western cities have also signified their intention of being present. This will be the sec- ond congressional dinner of the People’s Legislative Service, the first having been held two years ago, at the beginning of the present Con- gress. “The progressive senators, repre- sentatives and governors who were successful at the recent elections will respond to congratulations upon their victorles. The newly elected senators who will be present are: Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa, Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota, Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota and Burton K. Wheeler of Montana."” —_— Although some birds have a well developed olfactory apparatus, sci- entists doubt that they have any sense of smell.

Christmas morning usually finds Dad the owner of a new pearl-handled carving set, or six linen table- cloths, or a sitting room rug. Something useful for the home—sent by Mother and the Girls (to appear later on his January bills). And Dad is always grateiul and vows that it is ex- actly what he wants. He gets his pleasure watching Mother and the Girls unravel some of the wonderful surprises he has collected for them. Perhaps too iew of us realize how much Dad would appreciate something really personal—selected just for his needs. A good-looking lounging robe, or smoking jacket, or slippers, or something of that sort that he would never bother to get for himself. Then when he comes home after a busy day, too tired to do anything but read the papers and nap, your gifts will be waiting to give to him a bit of the comfort and pleasure that he spends his life planning to give to you. 22 Holiday Gifts for a Man Belts, fitted with sterling silver buckles.
