ADAMS, Fhnmee, [ A THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, UANUAfiY 23, 1923. AMERICAN IMPRESSIONS “What do you think of American women?” is a question frequently put to me, among a host of others, by my new friends over here, whose interest in me and my work deviates with often startling celerity to my opin- ions on seemingly irrelevant sub- Jects. Now, I am not going to an- swer that question just yet. The unchallenged queen of every realm of ‘American activity demands long- er study than I have yet been able to give her. I merely pause here, in my breathless rush through the States, to do her homage, reminded as I am of her omnipresence by the predominance of the feminine ele- ment at most of my lectures. This preponderance’ is especially noticeable at Washington, where I am writing these notes, and I am wondering’ why it should be so. It is true that two out of three lectures have been given in the afternoon, at hours when most men are at work, but I have observed the same dis- proportion at evening sittings. 1 think the reason may well be that women are more studious than men !lin America, more active intellectual- 1y, without taking into account their greater inquisitiveness, which is a natural attribute of Eve the world over! Finds Audlences Attentive. However, in one respect at least | American men and women are al that is in their invariable attentive: iness. American audiences are ideal from this point of view. Not once, 8o r. have I had the slightest difficulty \ capturing the attention of every cne at the beginning of a lecture, cither at New York, Philadelphia or Washington, {or in holding it right to the end. I hope T am intelligent enough to that th not because of any superi qualities of my own. On the contrary it s an undoubted fact that my hesi tating English. pronounced wita a for- { eign accent, although it may be under- { stood_quite sufficiently, ought to have a soporific effect on an audience, and | put an abnormal strain on its powers lof concentration. 1 understand now why so many European lecturcrs prefer to address the American publiz. They |are sure of getting an attentivs, com prehending and appreciative audien, | And none but public speax=s can really understand the thrill of pleasure ¢ perienced when one feels the fluid of every soul in the hall vibrating in uni- on ‘with one's own though or | something “out of tune, audience's attention wandering. Personally, 1 shall never forget the delight of watching my Amerfcan listeners’ eyes riveted on me in a | manifest desire to lose nothing of {my lecture. | “American audiences have two other | characteristics which 1 have rarely {encountered in Europe; they smile nd that the end than at the beginning.

Tucker, at a méet- ing of that council in the Knights of Columbus hall last night. The request for co-operation origi- nated several weeks ago. Harry Standiford, executive secretary of the Shrine committee, in writing to vari- ous vrganizations for co-operation in jbehalf of the convention, addressed ‘a letter to the Grand Knight of Po- tomac Council. Decides to Hear Speaker. The matter was taken up at a council meeting. After discussion, a resolution was adopted to, the effect that the Shrine convention here probably would assume such pro- portions as to necessitate broadmind- edness in the handling of the dele- gates, and instructions were given to Grand Knight Tucker to inform the Shrine committee of the avail- ability of the council to hear a speaker .on.the. Shrine project at an opportune time. Accordingly, Grand Knight Tucker wrote a letter to Mr. Standiford, stat- +ing: “Please- permit me to say that Potomac Council, K. of Cj, stands ready and anxious to render any service that' will help to make this great convention a success, as well as aiding to maintain the city’s reputa- {tion for hospitality. If at a future meeting you, could arrange for your representative to visit us, I will be pleased to welcome him." Reply of Publicity Chairman. Chairman W. W. Jermane of the publicity committee replied as fol- {lows: “I shall be happy to assign & speaker to come to one of your meet- ings whenever it will be convenient for you.” The net result of the interchange will be that at.a meeting in the near future the council doors of the Knights of Columbus will be opened for-a Shriner to explain the ofvic as- pects of the 1923 cofpention. The meeting of Potomac Council last night made plans for a speclal series of dances under the auspices of the sick rellef fund committee. to be given every Saturday night until Lent in the K. of C. hail. Plans also were discussed for the placement of a base ball team on the fleld during the coming season. —_— ‘Tuning Up the Auto.

The second characteristic is shown by the vigorous volleys of questions Which are fired at_me directly I fin- Ish my lecture, That is somewhat rare in France. And the questions put are almost always intelligent, and Prove that; not only have the ques- tioners fully grasped what I have said, but are eager for me to develop certain aspects of the subject or to explore side issues the possibilities and importance of which they have been quidk to seize upon. In this respect—and this is, perhaps, a third characteristic—Americans do not seem to suffer from that kind of nervous- ness which is better described as self-consciousness or bashfulness: | have only encountered one bashful person at my lectures over here—and he was a mere man! As a rule, I find Americans put their questions Wwith directness and concision, in a voice audible all over the hall, with no discernible trace of timidity. I have been struck also with the order and discipline they so readily show. Whenever a number of questions hap- pen to be put simultaneously, jumble and confusion are avoided by a quasi- autpmatic perception of the most in- teresting one, and to the author of it the floor is immediately abandoned by the others tacit consent. Little detalls, perhaps, but they denote char- acter. In general. T find that T was not mistaken in believing, even before I alled from France, that the Ameri- can temperament is peculiarly re- sponsive to the creed of autosugs tion.

Serenity of Audiences. Perhaps this same sensitiveness is responsible for, the serenity of Amer- ican audiences. I can think of no better word to convey my meaning. It is not merely idle tranquillity There is a sort of self-watchfulnes: self-control and conscious considera- tion for others which surprises me and compels my admiration at each of lectures There is an amaz- ing_absence of that buzz of conver- ation, of laughter or (worse) gig- which are the annosing features of most pub- | lic meetings in Europe.

END, SAYS FOMLER Only 19 New Cases, Making | 159 Sinoé January 1, With | Disease-in Mild Form. | i i Although 159 cases of influenza have been reported to the health department since January 1, Health Officer Fowler is firm in the belief that the disease is occurring this’ year in a very mild form. The guardian of the city's health | said he was confident that most of the sickness being heard of through- out the city is grip or regular winter colds. “There are more than the usual number of deaths from pneumonia,” said Dr. Fowler, “but this is the regu- lar pneumonia month and some of the added fatalities are undoubtedly resulting from colds.” Dr. Fowler declared he saw no be- casion for alarm in the present situa- tion and believes the wave of sick- ness will reach its peak i v days and subside. K oy Since January 1 there have been reported - ninety-one deaths -from pneumonia, as compared with sixty- seven for the same period of last year. The health office is not advised as to the number of persons suffering from pneumonia, since that disease is not repertable. Nineteen New Canes. This morning's mail brought nine- teen new influenza reports, making a total of 159 since January 1, Asked for suggestions to’ avoid catching cold or contracting grip, Dr. Fowler called attention to a bul. letin he prepared some time ago, [¥hich contained the following heal( nts: “Do not let any person cough, laugh or sneeze into your face. “Keep your mouth closed and avoid, as far as possible, places where peo- ple congregate. “Avoid all exposure, fatigue. “Eat regularly and get sufficient sleep. “Keep in the fresh air as much as possible. Do not use common towels or drinking glasses.” 215 Teachers Off. Absences on account of grip among the teaching personnel of the Dis- triot public schools were swelled to- day to 215 cases, when Garnet C. Wil- kinson, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools, reported that forty-seven of the teachers in the schools under his direction are on the sick Iist. One hundred and six- ty-eight, or about 10 per cent of the teachers in the white schools, are out with the grip. Since the announcement that school officials were unable to fill many of the teacherless classes with substi- tutes, voluntary substitutes have del- uged them with offers to work in the schools. Among them were ‘men and women holding college degrees who proffered their services during the present emergency. Eighty-one policemen were on sick leave today, according to figures sc- cured from the police department, most of them from colds, grip and al- lied causes. There are approximately 900 members in the local metropolitan orce. ’ FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER' CHARLES, CITY, Iowa, January 23. —Frank Kneeskern was found gulity today of the murder of Irene Vi Brocklin.

T0 ASK WRIT OF ERROR IN ZONE LAW RULING Police Judge's Decision Held Not to Require Closing of Connecti- cut Avenue Store. To clear up any misunderstanding of the effect of the decision of Judge Robert Hardison rendered Saturday in Police Court in the “Million Dollar grocery store case” under the zoning laws, in which Theodore Marcopulos is defendant, it was stated today that | the decision does not mean that the defendant must close his store, which is located at 2606 Connecticut avenue. On the ‘contrary, the store is in op- eration, as it has been since August, 1921, when established by the defend- ant. The fine of $10 imposed by Judge Hardison was nominal, the court stating that if the fine was made too small counsel for defendant might not be able to get the case to the Dis- trict of Columbia Court of Appeals. Pending _the final adjudication of the case, Bell, Marshall & Rice, torneys for defendant, have announced they will make application to the District of Columbia Court of Ap- peals for a writ of error. The status of the case is virtually what it was at the beginning of the litigation, which involves the right of the storekeeper to possess the permit necessary for operating his place of business. The zoning commission has refused this permit on the ground that the store is located in a residential section. BOARD OF TRADE PLANS TODISCUSS EDUCATION Will Consider U. S. Chamber of Commerce Referendum on Federal Participation. A special meeting of the Washing- ton Board of Trade will be held at the City Club February 8 to consider the referendum of the United States Chamber of Commerce dealing with federal participation in education, if the suggestion of the executlve com- mittee for a meeting is acted on by President Edward F. Colladay. The committee at a meeting yes- terday decided that the referendum should have the consideration of gvery member of the board, and that a special meeting, where it would be the sole topic of discussion, was the best method. The referendum asks the following question. “Do you favor the establishment of a federal department of education, with an officer in the President's cabi- net? Do you favor the enlarging of the present federal bureau of educa- tion? Do you favor government aid of education throughout the country on the basis of the states appropriat- ing sums equal to those appropriated by the federal government?” The following were elected to mem- bership: L.
