Binding firmer the ties of friend- ship between the nations of North and South America through the rec- ognition of the ideals and secrifices of the various nations was the pre- dominant theme touched upon by, the various speakars at a reception in honor of Gabriela Mistral, the famous Chilean educator and poetess, at the Pan-American bullding last night. The affair aws attended by several hundred people and many members of the diplomatic corps. = The poetress, whose rcal name is Lucila_Godoy, was introduced by Bel- tran. Mathieu, ambassador of Chile, who, with Mme. Mathieu, gave the . The ambassador stressed his address that “her educational ‘work is going bey the boundaries of her own country,” he declared that it had been extended to Mexico and was gaining the applause of other eountries. Dr. Rowe Oficiated. ., Dr. L S. Rowe, director of the Pan- ‘American Union, welcomed the guest and declared “We have all marveled at the untiring activities of Gabriela Mistral not only because of her out- standing contributions to literature, but because of her earnest and un- swerving devotion to the social wel- fare and progress of her people. The beauty of her verse and the inspira- tion of her prose can only be matched . by the splendid effort which she has made for the welfare of the children ©f her country.” ] g1 her reply Gabriela Mistral said n part “The friendship of different peoples Sought by the Pan-American Union would be easily attained if we were all imbued, to the furthest depths of consclousness, with the concept of disstmilarity = without _inferiority. T'nion will be posgible if those of the north, penetrating the unpleasing ex- térior to the fundamental nobility beneath, perceive that, like a clear Tunning stream, a deep, though con- fused, aspiration for justice flows through all our sufferings, through the painful economic conditions af- fiicting our Chile, a country heroical- ¢ ly poor, rich only in honor; through the long Mexican revolution, holy in its aspirations, and through the lack ®©f accord in Central America. Mrs. Coleman Responds. Mrs_ H. A. Coleman, president of the National League of American Pen Women, of which organization the poetess is a member, declared: “Proud, indeed, are we to greet a Bister American, a native of our own continent, an American pen woman, who has dedicated her life and her talents to the uplift of humanity through its most powerful and re- @eptive agency—that of its children.” The United States Army Band Blue Books— Maps— Don't start yoor Motor Trip without taking a Bioe Book along.

WORKERS' BUDDY BARES DISCOVERY When Whiting Williams, five years ago, was vice president of 2 steel company in Cleveland he did something which hundreds of other managers have always wanted to do. He said good-by to his desk, to his friends and his family, put on a suit of old clothes, and disappeared for months. Then he turned up in New York City with one of the most extraordinary ' : diaries ever written. He had not been loafing or tramping. He had been working as a common laborer in rail- road yards, steel mills and coal mines His capital, when he began this amaz- ing adventure, was §. He lived on his carnings, slept on park benches when out of a job, and gained a first hand in- sight into the worker’s life. Whiting Williams meant to go back to his desk in Cleveland, and resume the life of a “white collar man.” But he has not gone back. Magazine editors and book publishers have kept him busy writing; far-sighted presidents of great railroads and industries have enlisted his services as adviser. A few days ago he wrote a letter to P. F. Collier & Son Company which reveals a_hidden source of his unique power. He says: “T am an owner and a regular user of DR. ELIOT’S FIVE-FOOT SHELF OF BOOKS “I am thankiul that somebody has taken the best of the world’s literature and made it so compact that I can have it always handy at my elbow.
