Senator Walsh Addresses Woman's National Democratic Club. League of Women Voters Outlines Legislative Program. Pen Women Plan Carnival Ball BY CORINNE FRAZIER. ‘WO things—the Kellogg-Briand treaty and the election of Evans Hughes as 1 member of the World Court— will tend toward an elimination of the opposition manifested in this country to our official ent: e into the court, in the opinion of Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who addressed the Woman'’s National Democratic Club on “The World Court end Its Relation to.the Kellogg-Briand Treaty” at a Juncheon held last Monday at the club- house on New Hempshire avenue. “Mr. Hughes is the outstanding figure | of the Republican party toda i Senator Walsh, and therefore, active connection, there will come an increased confidenice in the World Court in the ranks. of his party, where the gmx ~y test opposition in the past has been el “The Kellogg-Briand treaty is ex- pected to operate toward the same end,” he continued. “If ths nations of the world do agree to adhere| to ghis pact and outlaw war as a national policy, submitting their dif-| ferences to a high tribunal of justice, they must have a definite body to sub- mit them to, and the World Court is | that body. It scarcely seems logical, | therefore, that the United States could adhere to the Kellogg-Briand treaty and refuse ultimately to adopt the protocol of the World Court. The question facing the United States for, the future is not ‘Shall we jo.n?' but ‘On what terms?’ “Already we have submitted to the foreign powers five reservations upon which we would become official mem- bers of the court, four of which, formu- lated by Mr. Hughes, met with unani- mous approval, while the fifth, pro- | posed by the Congress of the United | States, was frowned upon—by certain | powers for reasons best known to them- sclves; by our own counirymen largely because they did not understand the significance of the issue. “In that fifth reservation the United States was asking, not the arrogant | jal. privileges' thought by many to demanded, but simply rights and | leges equal to those granted the | other - signatory powers under the League of Nations, of which we are not ® member.” Following up this thought, Senator ‘Walsh explained in detall the nature of the rights asked by our Government in the much disputed fifth reservation, pointing out their necessity in view of the provisions of the League of Nations and the plan on which the Kellogg- Briand treaty would operate. ‘The program luncheon at which he made bis address was the first of a series which will continue into January with officials listed as the speakers on subjects of vital political interest to the country at present. Senator King and Admiral Magruder are scted to talk on “Disarmament and the Navy | Mrs. Bill” in the near future.

The league was one of the early supporters of the World Court move- ment, and looks forward to the day when the United States will participate in that international body. “In supporting the Newton Bill, which creates a child welfare extension serv- ice in the United States Childrens Bu- reau, the league is once more main- taining its belief that the Federal Gov- ernment has a re?onsibflny for public welfare in a sclentific and educational gmnm for the promotion of the th of mothers and infant children.” * ¥ x ¥ MBS. ‘W.

Mrs. Todd, who is the wife o | the noted astronomer, in her childhood | days was a resident of Georgetown, and |Mrs. E. D. E. N: Southworth, whom she calls “a distinguished figure, with stores { quent visitor at the home of Mrs. Todd's parents. Says Mrs. Todd, speaking of Mrs. Southworth: | “Shortly after this time she was about |to leave Georgetown for Yonkers, but |bafore departure she gave a costume | ball in Prospect’ Cottage, which will al- | ways stand to me as one 6f the most | perfect entertainments of its kind. “The thing which stands out most prominently in my recollection of this affair is the impersonation by - Mrs. Southworth of the immortal Mrs. Partington, " with her son, Dr. South- worth, in the character of Mrs. Parting- | ton’s 'son, ‘Tke. - The running fire of brilliant conversation between these two illumines the intervening dusky years. “I am only sorry I cannot remember the identical sallles of wit which ker The "Sportsman” In polished Zeeronite $10.00 In heavy silver overlay $20.00 “The " Aristocrat” Inlifetimesilver overlay $35.00 of fun just out of sight,” was a fre- B! fashed between the two for hours that evening, but Mrs. Partingion was out- Partingtoned.” Mrs. Todd recalls that. as one of the novelist's “favortte child friends.” she was “invited to Prospeet Cot most hospitably,” but was warned néver to interfere with Mrs. Southworth's work- ing mornings, always spent at her desk. ‘The Washington that Mrs. Todd knew as a_child was the Washington that Mrs. Southworth knew, and it is most interesting to read from Mrs. Todd’s letter the description of that Washington. She says: “Washington, at that timz (the early 70s) was a terribly ‘unfinished place. The original plan had hardly been lived up to except in the location of the Government, buildings, and many of my grandmother’s friends, Senators and one or two cabinet officers, lived about in the most informal manner, entertaining in thefr hotel rooms and driving about for their calls with great difficulty over the rough sireets. We selected our home in 'the beautiful, highly finished, old Southern town, Georgetown, across Rock Creek about 5 miles from the Capital. Here I spent one of the happiest periods of my life.” The clubhouse to beé erected -by the National League will preserve within its walls the library in which Mrs. South« worth spent those faithful and pro- ductive hours, at her desk. as Mrs. ‘Todd says. This room will be the nucleus about which the new building will rise. It will be at the left of the main entrance and will contain me- morials, not only of Mrs. Southworth, but of many other American women of genius. The building to be placed on this beautiful site on the Potomac by the combined efforts of the Pen Women of the Nation and their friends, will be the first erected ih America to honor the achievements of women in the crealive arts in this country. 3 LADY MARY HEATH, English avi- ator, will be the guest of honor at a, reception given by tha National Wom- an’s Party at its headquarters on Capi< tol Hill Tuesday evening fromr 9 to 1] o'clock.

Shaw, secretary of the Merchanis and Manu- facturers’ Association, said- last- night. “The science of modern.mechanics, the power of mammoth factories, the outputs’ of singing sawmills, the ma- terials from mines and the ocean floor have been devoted to the homely art of making toys for the kiddies. A great industry has thus been erected, am in- dustry that does an aggregate business of many millions of dollars, in order that Washington youngsters may play with new toys on the 25th of Decem- ber,” he said. i “Time was when the major part of the American toy supply came from Germany.
