ITH the open house for all Democrats who happened to be in the city held at the Women's National cratic Club headquarters Thursday night, Fall activities were well launched by the clubwomen on the last lap of the presidential cam- paign. Officials of the club are return- ing from warm-weather sojourning at| resorts or in forelgn lands, many with | interesting accounts of their work dur- | ing the Summer, and from now until | November € the New Hampshire ave- | nue clubhouse will be a busy campalgn} center. ¥ i In harmony with the spirit of the open house Thursday the privileges of the club have been extended to every Democrat up to and including election day. Luncheons will be served daily from 12:30 to 2 o'clock, and open house, with a light supper, will be kept every Thursday night by the governors of the club, at 8:30 o'clock. Tea will be served every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 until after election, beginning this week. Some one from one of the regions will report oh the | work of his section at each of these “r_cional teas.” Mrs. Borden Harriman and Mrs. Alvin Dodd are expected to| feature the first program. Mrs. Harriman presided as hostess at the open house Thursday night, also. | and talked informally on campaign | workers with whom she had come in| contact during the Summer at Sara-| toga Springs. Bar Harbor and other| resorts. One of the features of the| evening was the cutting of the giant | watermelon (weighing 112 pounds) which had been sent to the club from Texas. Mrs. A. J. McClintock, 8 Re-| publican who has joined the Smith ranks, cut the meion, which served nearly 200 people. Weekly forum luncheons will be re- sumed at the clubhouse on October 1. with a speech by Dr. Edward Devine, dean of the Graduate School of the American University, who has declared for Gov. Smith as President. Two special campaign numbers of the Bulletin, the official publication of the club, are being prepared now, con- taining party news and many interest- ing cuts of the candidates and woman aides. These are expected to be off the press in the near future. No more interesting story can be told within their pages than that of Mrs. Charles Hamlin, a member of the Woman's Club, who is working dili- ities including an unusual ‘“house-to- house” vote canvass, initiated and car- ried out by herself along the Massa- chusetts coast. Mrs. Hamlin also is making speeches before club groups and other organizations in behalf of Gov. Smith. High officials and members of the governors’ board of the club who have not yet returned to the city are ex- pected_soon. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson still is in Europe, but probably will be back next month. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, president, is on a briel visit to her home in Joplin, Mo., while Mrs. Ed- ward B. Meigs, first vice president, is expected in New York today, return- ing from Europe. She will come direct to Washington and is expected to report at headquarters early this week. Mrs. Huston Thompson already has returned from her travels, and Mrs. Carter Glass, honorary vice president, now in Virginia, is expected to pay a visit to Washington in the near future. Mrs. Charles Warren, treasurer, and Mrs. Rose Yates Forrester, secretary. are two of the club officiais who will | continue their work, begun some time ago, in the field. Mrs. Warren is in Cali- | fornia, as in lining up the| women's vote of the West, while Mrs. | Forrester is at headquarters of the | Democratic national committee in New York, assisting Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- velt. A general assembly of the governors of the club is expected to be called in the near future to discuss details of the Fall campaign. Mrs. J. Harry Cov- ington, Mrs. George Eckels, Mrs. An- | drieus A. Jones, widow of Senator Jones; Mrs. Frank H. Snell and Mrs. J. Bor- den Harriman are among the members of the governing board who have re- turned to the city. * ¥ % X MISS BELLE SHERWIN, president of the League of Women Voters, ac- companied by Miss Gladys Harrison, executive secretary, went to Lyme, Conn., Tuesday to attend the first Fall session of the executive committee of her or- ganization, held there Wednesday, Miss Katharine Ludington, first vice president. In addition to routine business the committee outlined a general program for Fall and Winter activities.

Louise Griflith, New York, assistant treasurer, and Miss Harrison, Washing- ton, D. C., executive secretary. “What the Candidates Say on Labo:” is the subject which will be discussed over the radio Tuesday evening in the weekly voters' service program, spon- sored by the woman voters. Maj. George L. Berry, recently ap- pointed chairman of the division of labor for New York State, will represent the Democratic point of view. The Re- publican viewpoint will be offered by Mrs. Raymond Robins, prominent club- woman of Washington. The program will be broadcast from New York City this week and will go on lihe air at 7:30 Eastern daylight-saving time. Winter Park, Fla, retiring chair- man of the department of education of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, is writing a biographical and his- torical account of the Florida women who have played a prominent or not- able part in the history of the State, according to a recent report. Mrs. Blackman's undertaking, it is said, is in accordance with a policy of the federation, which at present is encouraging the development of similar historical reference works everywhere in the country. * k% % FEMINISTS, both here and abroad, are rejoicing in the news received last week from Paris 'stating that the first commission of the League of Na- tions has voted in favor of providing for woman plenipotentiaries to the World Conference on the Codification of Inter- national Law at The Hague in 1929. Members of the Inter-American Com- Thursday and Friday, at the home >f mission of Women are particularly in- | RS. WILLIAM F. BLACKMAN of | terested, as it is their task at present to prepare a report on the international laws affecting women, and their in- clusion as active participants in The Hague Conference is looked forward to as another step toward gaining an ad- Jjustment of these laws, they belicve. ‘The resolution calling for the in- clusion of woman plenipotentiaries was introduced by Dr. Orestes Ferrara, Cuban member of the Assembly of the League of Nations, at the request of the Inter-American Commission of Women, and was_adopted by unani- mous vote of the First Commission, to which the assembly referred the ques- -tion. % e 'LUBWOMEN of America, who have come so far along the road of “wo- man’s emancipation” in regard to edu- cational, legal and political opportun- ities, will follow with interest the strug- gle of the women of China against an order abolishing co-education, being made through their Amalgamated Com- mittee for the Upholding of Women's Rights. ‘The women of China have been back- ing a general movement to retain their educational opportunities since last May, according to a dispatch over the Associated Press wires. “The purpose of the introduction of co-education in China is to afford bet- ter educational facilities for women and to place their standard of educa- tion on a higher basis,” declares the statement of the amalgamated commit- tee. “The system has been in vogue for several years., and young men and women have livéd on terms of equality where co-education has been allowed At a meeting of the National Educa- tional Conference, a resolution was passed (last May) opposing co-educa- tion in colleges and middle schools, and recommending the stoppage of the co- educational movement in China, in all institutions in which the system had been introduced. “Although it has been difficult to avoid certain evils under the system, the results obtained have been most satisfactory on the whole. The system therefore should not be ended now.” Telegrams have been sent throughout the country, it is understood, appealing for sympathy for this movement of “fighting for the common principle,” as the committee has expressed it. “Indisposed” ., Sometimes it’s the “nerves.” Other times, systemic.
