No one department of the federation has ever before had such an oppor- tunity to promulgate its full program of work in so complete a manner as the American home departmefit of the federation will have in this gathering, and members of the orga tions are bending every effort toward making 1t & signal success. It will touch every phase of the ideal home, from its physical construction to its spiritual possibilities. It has been reported that the last word In building con- struction, interfor decoration, utilita an equipment and lighting, both for beauty and for health, will be ex- hibited and discussed. The central theme of the program to be emphasized in addresses and exhibits will be the conservation of time and energy in homemaking, cor- related with teamwork in houschold labor: proper food. sanitation and ven- tilation; child training, rest, recrea- tion, library facilities; music and similar subjects, all of ch are deemed factors mecessars the proper functioning of ideal home, by clubwomen who have made a careful study of the subject.

It was felt at Reserve head .uarters that this subject could not e given an entire conference, but +hat practical work In the prepara <fon of combat orders should and wwould be injected into each confer ence where the subject matter adapted i2self to this procedure. The technique of preparing written combat orders and particularly facllity in the fssu- ence of verbal combat orders, s of vital fimportance and necessitates practice, and in order that the In fantry fleld officers may acquire this technique of preparing combat orders two such problems are to be solved during this home study. Since no preparation for the In- atructional conferences November 23 and February 8 Is necessitated, these problems will take the place of such! preparatory work. The hope has been | Axpressed that the Reserve officers | concerned will avail themselves of the | .pportunity afforded them by devot-| ng & small part of their spare time the eolution of these problems. Solutions will be returned personally or by mail to the headquarters of the | Washington Reserve units on or! Lefore November 23, in the case of Washington Reserve units on or befors February 8. 1927, in the case | of the second problem issued. Solu-| “ions will be examined, constructive | comments thereon will be made. and | they will be returned to the officers | concerned with a copy of an approved | solution for comparison with their | own solution.

In her capacity as oresident of the league she attended ihe book fair given by the Connecti- cut League of American Pen Women in the Y. M. C. A. Building, at Green- wich, Conn., Saturday, November 6. Among others attending the fair was young Master David Binney Put- nam, boy author, and on Saturday afternoon an interesting scene took place. Standing on the platform with an audlence of boys filling the hall, :round whose walls were grouped the booths of the fair, Mrs. Seton, world- wide traveler, author and lecturer, carried on a dialogue with the lad who 1is standing on the threshold of his career as a writer and feels the thirst to go a-voyaging and to tell of what he has seen and heard. To a question from Mrs, Seton as to what had been his greatest thrill, David answered that it was the mo- ment when he first looked from the deck of the ship upon which he was sailing and saw a great white polar bear the mate pointed out to him, dimly outlined against the back- ground of Arctic Ice and snow. Mrs. Seton confessed that her greatest thrill had come from seeing an anaconda, the great serpent of the tropics, *which she had seen in Paraguay this Summer. Then, while the boy audience listened spell- hound, there followed an Interesting exchahge of adventures between the woman who has traveled the world over and the youth whose love of adventure has just started him on his travels. “I only hope sald Mrs. Seton, in discussing the dialogue, “that it aroused in the boya who heard it a greater desire to know more of the world in which we live, to see Nature at work in the great primeval wilds that still exist and to a realization that the knowledge of bird lore and animal lore brings its own peculiar fascination which s the trouble and effort taken to acquire it.” I MRS. MAUD WOOD PARK, former president of the National League of Woman Voters and now its ~ounselor on legislation, returned to Washington Thursday after passing the season at her Summer home on the Maine coast. Mrs. Park is making plans for im- mediate work in behalf the league's legislative program, but interest cen- n the bill which would extend the operation of the Sheppard-Towner maternity and infaney act, and which is now pending on the Senate calen- dar. Of the several visitors to national league headquarters last week, Miss Josephine Schain of New York City, Wwho has just returned from a three- month foreign trip, brought the most interesting reports. Miss Schain, who is director of the league's department of international co-operation to pre- vent war, passed six weeks in Geneva, 5. The program of the S Reserve officers will be conducted by Capt. George W. Gering, S. C., and will include a continuation )t discussion and exercises dealing with the subject of wire communica- tion within the Infantry division. Reservists of the 428th Infantry will meet at the local Reserte headquarters Tuesday evening. The 313th Field Artillery Regiment meet Wednes- day evening under the supervision of Col. Leroy W. Herron, who com- mands that regiment. The conference will be conducted by Maj. W. R. Woodward, F. A., on duty at headquarters, on the subject of “Concealment and Protection of Ar- tilter: Due to the continually in- creasing efficiency of aerial photog- raphy and to the great value of sus- tained and unmolested artillery fire, this subject is of prime_importance {0 artillery commanders ‘of all grades.

BULLDOG A PEACEFUL ANIMAL A. P. Terhune In the Amertcan Legion. The bulldog is perhaps the least understood of all dogs. Like the bloodhound, 1t does not merit Its doubtful reputation. The bulldog 1s the gentlest and friendliest of chums, to its accredited master and to its master's family, enduring torments from the children of the house and of the neighborhood, placidly keep- ing its temper and its philosophy when dogs of a lesser'breed would be in hysterics of excitement or fury. True, it will fight when fight 1t must. And, once forced into warlike | action, it will not give up while life lasts. But it is no swaggering bully. Give the bulldog rights or even a semblance of its rights and it is the most peaceful of dogs. It will guard the home, and that home's occupants and valuables, sometimes with more zeal than under- standing, but that Is its creed. Leave the bulldog and its fcw prejudices and ideas of duty alone and you have Apple Crop Double Last Year's. Georgia’s apple_crop for 1926 will total Dbetween 250,000 and 000 boxes, according to J. L. Roper, man- ager of the Consolidated Apple Grow- ers’ Exchange, this being an increase of approximately 100 cent over production last year, when the crop was cut by drought. and then went on to Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Jugoslavia, Belgium, Tur- key, Greece, Italy, Hungary and Aus- tria to study the work being done by women, Another visitor was Mrs. Robert L. De Normandie of Boston, president of the Massachusetts League of Woman Voters and a former director of the national league. A finance conference at headquar- ters last Monday was attended by Miss Belle Sherwin, president; Miss Kath- arine Ludington of New York City, chairman of the finance committe Mrs. Frank P. Hixon of Lake City, Fla., the league's new treasurer, and 2lllsx M. Louise Griffith of New York City. Miss Julla Lathrop of Rockford, Ill., who Is the league’s counselor on pul lic welfare in government, particl- pated in several conferences during her two-day stay in Washington. * ok xR RS. F. C.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 138 Four Masked Men Take Money at () _Negotiations for the purchase Door of Bank in West Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 18.— Four masked men last night held up and robbed two messengers of the Belmont Trust Co. in west Philadel- phia of approximately $35,000 as they were about to enter the door of the bank. - Police belleve the robbers, who es- caped in an automobile, were the same band that held up and robbed a mem- ber of a textile firm and his sister of pay rolls amounting to more than $3,500 a few hours earlier. The messengers, Raymond Kelly and Townsend Bongardt, were trans- ferring the money in satchels from a branch of the trust company, five blocks away. As they started to en- ter the door of the trust company they were confronted by four men wearing handkerchiefs as masks and armed with automatic pistols. The robbers, ordered the messengers to hand over the satchels and the mes- sengers complied. A number of pedestrians were on the street at the time and a traffic policeman was on the opposite corner, but the holdup attracted no attention, e e Tea Manners in Japan. From the Tea and Coffee Journal. In Tokio not long ago a single tea cup that belonged to the late Mar- quis Inouye was sold for 1,000 pounds. It was painted by a famous artist, Gosho Haru. Drinking tea is one way the Japan- ese have of embroidering the stuff of nature and making life interesting. The Japanese even have a “Holy Scripture of Tea,” which directs ex- actly how tea shall be made so that “each leaf should told like a mist ris- ing out of a ravine and be wet and soft like fine earth newly swep! by rain.” Centuries ago a Japanese named Rikyu founded the tea cult and wrote an elaborate code of tea etiquette that is unchanged to this day.
