WOMEN TO LIVEN ~ SPECIAL SESSION More Are Members of Con- gress and Interest in Affairs Is Shown Keener. BY MARTHA DALRYMPLE, Associated Press Staff Writer. When the gavels fall next Monday and bring the Seventy-first Congress formally into being. there will be plen- ty of evidence that the interest of women in the things that go on in and <ound the Capitol has increased to the nighest pitch in history. There are more woman members of Congress than ever before, theré are more woman executives of organiza- tions that are interested in various legislative proposals and there are more women throughout the country who are taking a more or less private, but, nevertheless, cager interest in the con- gressional procedure. The special session, called for the purpose of revising the tariff law and enacting farm relief legislation,” has elicited more interest in feminine circles than the same problems would have aroused even five years ago. Opinions Formed From Study. ‘Through their local organizations, affiliated with national federations, the ‘women have learned about national af- fairs, they have studied the tariff and its effect upon all industries, and have formulated their own ideas about farm relief, based cn their association with farm women and with organizations devoted to the interest of agriculture. The General Federation of Women's Clubs, representing more than 3,000,- 000 women, who are members of local clubs. has not placed itself on record on either tariff or farm relief, bus it has been instrumental in organizing study groups. Through its rural com- mittee work it has also endeavored to interest farm women in its organiza- tion and sought to bring about concert- ed action by the rural women on their problem. The National League of Women Voters is planning to disseminate infor- mation on both sides of the two ques- tions, and its congressional workers pe to get action started on some legisiation that will continue the pro- visions of the Sheppard-Towner mater- nity act providing Federal aid in mater- nal and infant welfare efforts. Special Session Action Sought. ‘The National Woman's party, which as its objective the addition of an equal rights amendment to the Consti- tution, will seek action on it during the special session, basing its hope of suc- cess on the fact that the woman's suf- frage amendment was adopted during a special session 10 years ogo. Of the eight woman members of the Beventy-first Congress, the five who were members of the preceding Con- gress have taken the forthcoming ses- sion much more easily than have their new sisters. The old-timers have gone about the preparatory cleaning up of their offices much more calmly and they have not attempted to do every- thing that everybody has asked. The three new ones, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, Florida; Mrs. Ruth Hanna | McCormick, Illinols, and Mrs. Ruth Baker Pratt, New York, have felt it necessary, however, to put up just the proper pictures, and arrange the un- compromising four walls of their new offices in a more endurable fashion than they found them. They have not, how- ever, allowed this task to interfere with appointments and busy preparations to take over their legislative duties on and off the floor of the House. 2 URGES SEPAIORATE CORPS FOR ARMY PHARMACISTS Retail Druggists’ Association In- dorses Pending Bill to Create New Unit in Medical Service. The District of Columbia Retail Druggists’ Association at a meeting last night in the Raleigh Hotel voted to support the bill now pending in Congress for the formation of a sep- arate pharmacy corps in the medical branch of the Army. The bill, which is known as the Kelly-Copeland bill, is in the form of an amendment to the national defense act providing for a pharmacy corps incorporated in the Medical Corps. The association also pledged itself to raise $10,000 among local retail drug- gists for the equipment of a modern pharmaceutical laboratory in the school of pharmacy at George Washing- ton University. Paul Pearson was re-elected presi- dent of the association and the follow- ing other officers were chosen: Willlam P. Herbst, first vice president; Asa V. Burdine, second vice president, and A. C. Taylor, secretary-treasurer. " Plans Afromobile Tour to Gotham By the Associated Press.

ENGLISH QUEEN MAY RECEIVE HELEN WILLS Tennis Star's Possible Presentation at Court of St. James Is Guarded With Sevrecy. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 10.—If Miss Helen Wills is to be presented at court this year, as is quite possible, it is a state | Wi secret and by all the rules that govern the social and diplomatic importance of such events it will remain so for an- other month or two. ‘The lord chamberlain must put his mark of approval on the list of Ameri- ~can ladies who will this year be formal- ly presented at'the Court of St. James and the list, in keeping with custom, would be announced during court weeks, the first of which is early in May and the other in June. Society may gossip but neither the American embassy nor British officials can even drop a hint. If it comes to pass, Queen Mary will see the approach of a different Helen than the one she has watched in action on the tennis courts on several oc- casions. Gone will be the simple free- dom-giving sports garb and the famous eye shade, and in their place will ap- pear a court gown and three tall white plumes in her hair.
