RED GROSS GIVEN BACKING OF LABOR President of A. F. of L. Tells of Need of Generous Sup- port by All. A pledge of continued support and co-operation on the part of organized labor was given to the American Red Cross today by William Green, presi- dent of the A, F. of L. Speaking over a wide radio hook-up at the eighth annual iuncheon of the Red Cross convention on the same pro- gram with Archbiship Michael M. Cur- ley of Baltimore, the labor leader prais- ed the Red Cross as “a great human or- ganization” in behalf of whose efforts to relieve the distress of mankind the world over he appealed to all groups to respond in a generous way. “I plead today for &n extension of our Red Cross membership until we can call a roll of every adult American,” | declared Archbishop Curley, who is a member of the board of incorporators. “I would like also to see the children | listed in the organization by their par- ents. This plea I make not altogether bacause of the consequent added power and working efficacy of the enlarged organization. I plead for it because of | the spiritual reaction I visualize in our millions of contributing members. “This great Nation, great in its wealth, its economic power, its” universal in- fluence, must retain its own soul, its spiritual life, its other world ideals on a high plane in order to save itself from the brutalizing force of pyramiding money and mordant materialism that tend to blight a nation’s spirit,” Arch- bishop Curiey concluded. Attended by approximately 830 dele- gates and guests, including some of the foremost men and women in Red Cross work, the luncheon at the Willard trought to a coaclusion the morning's activities of the convention devoted to varicus phases of volunteer work with- in the organization. ‘The radio appeals of the. speakers were carried over station WRC and affi- liated stations in New York, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Davenport, Towa: Omaha; Nash- ville and Salt Lake City. Frank A, Arnold, director of develop= ment of the National Broadeasting Co., said that the American Red Cross is the only organization that shares with the President of the United States he priv- ilege of having his command “right of way servic er the radio network of the country. With the convention scattered into group meetings this morning workers devoted their time to conferences held under the chairmanship of James T. Nicholson, assistant manager of the Eastern area, and J. Arthur Jeffers, manager of the Pacific area. Mean- while the 150 delegates to the Junior Red Cross held their own conference in the auditorium of the Corcoran Art Gallery, under their director, Harry Bruce Wilson. Work in Foreign Lands. Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary of the national organization, presided at last night's meeting which was ad- dressed by prominent speakers who dealt with the work of the Red Cross in foreign lands and interpreted its Epirit of scrvice as typically American. Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, one of the principal speakers, told the con- vention that the Red Cross is the mbol of the human heart and has “furnished the most satisfactory mfblhdl of uniting the human family” through its rehabilitation and disaster preven- tion efforts as well as its relief work. “Pecple of the world are seeking methods of understanding each other and need to develop those bonds of friendship so vital to human associa- tion,”. he said. “Whole peoples and nations now must deal with each other in sympathetic manner. The Red Cross, up to date, has furnished the most satisfactory method of uniting the human family. It enters individual and national life in the most telling manner. The Red Cross and the Red Cross nurse has become the symbol of this great human quality. Disaster in the face of nature makes us all kin.” Notable Speakers Heard. Emilio del Toro, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Porto Rico. and Col. Paul Draudt, vice chairman of the board of governors of the League of Red Cross Societies, were the other speakers. “If we keep on organizing as real social forces all that is good and noble in our nature and dedicate to the work strong men of vision, science. Joyalty and action, these forces will become the armies of the future,” said Chief Justice Toro. “With these forces— order and love—working from day to day more in harmony and efficiency, America will conquer the heart of the world and triumph in the universal conscience.” Col. Draudt made a plea for peace in praising the work of the Red Cross. He lauded the Kellogg pe‘nce pact :;g: .declared that America, as in every g0 Snovement. has taken the lead to bring about_peace. "Wit‘l"’:ihe lesson of the tragic World ‘War behind us,” said Col. Draudt. “is it not, evident that the nations must join efforts with the sole aim of building up an edifice of peace, consecrated to common activities and designed to make peace time something more than 2 mere interval between wars?” District Wins Honor. The District of Columbia won the honors of having the highest percentage of school children enrolled in the Junior Red Cross, 61 per cent of the school children here being enrolled. For this record, an honor banner was awarded to Dean Sowie, 1336 Massachusetts ave- nue, and the banner is to be held by the Columbia Junior High School be- cause it is the oldest junior high in the District. The award was made by Harry Bruce Wilson, director of the American Junior Red Cross, the flag having been presented as a gift by L. ©O: Crosby of Picayune, Miss. New Hampshire won the banner ewarded to the State enrolling the largest percentage of Red Cross mem- bers in proportion to its population. Mrs. Allen Hollis of Concord received the banner from Miss Boardman. RECEIPT OF GERMAN ARMS 1S CLAIMED BY JUAREZ REBELS THE EVENING STA MRS. STIMSON WELL EQUIPPED - SOCIAL POSITION FOR HIGH Exacting Duties Fall on Wife of New Secretary of State. Previous Experience in Offi- cial Washington’s Life Serves Her Well. BY MARGARET HART. Officially and socially the wife of the Secretary of State holds a position of importance second only to that of the wife of the President. Mrs. Henry Lewis Stimson, wife of the new Secretary of State, is exceptionally fitted for this place. Not only has she served before as a cabinet hostess, when her husband was Secretary of War in the Taft cabinet, but as wife of the Governor General of the Philippines she had further experi- >nce in official life. It is the custom for ladies of the cabinet to consult with the wife of the Secretary of State in arranging days at, home and other social functions. Next to Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Stimson is the presiding officer of the women of the cabinet, just as the wife of the Vice President, when the Vice President is married, is the presiding officer of the ladies of the Senate. Prominent in Red Cross Work. It has been 16 years since the present Secretary of State left Washington, at the close of the Taft administration, although the Stimsons have often visited the city since then. They passed many weeks in Washington ‘during the war, when Mr. Stimson was assistant judge advocate of the Army. Later he was a lieutenant colonel in the 306th Regi- ment, serving in France. Mrs., Stimson, an active person, was prominent in the Red Cross during the war, and often visited Washington to attend its conferences. Mrs. Stimson was one of the chief supporters of Mrs. William Howard Taft in her undertaking to make driv- ing mbout the Speedway popular, and in having certain features added to the drives and banks and paths along the ‘water. The then Secretary of War and Mrs, Stimson used to be among those in the long line of horse-drawn vehicles whieh circled the Speedway on pleasant MRS. HENRY L. STIMSON. afternoons. They led in indorsing the suggestion of Mrs. Taft that Japanese cherry trees be planted along the drive, On later visits to Washington, both the Secrctary and Mrs. Stimson be- wailed the passing of the horse from the official fold. And now, returning, they are delighted with the vogue for equestrian pleasures in the parks. Both are graceful riders, It is said that when he was Secrefary of War Mr. Stimson protested to President and Mrs. Taft because they used motor cars instead of horses. In keeping with the times, however, the new Secretary and his wife use motor cars themselves during their present Washington residence. Speaks Several hnnahfl. Mrs. Stimson speaks several lan- guages and has traveled much. Before her marriage, in 1890, she was Miss Mabel Wellington White. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. ‘White, New Haven, Conn. ‘The Stimsons have a home in New York City, and a country place in ‘Westchester County, where they keep a string of horses and enjoy all the de- lights of country life. Mrs. Stimson is attractive, and dresses modishly but with conservatism. She has a low, soft voice, and an ar- resting manner of speaking. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

Lee Phillips, directors of the Willard Social Bureau; Horace G. Knowles, former United States Minister to Rumania; Mrs. Edna M. Colman, past president of the League of American Pen Women, and others.” Mr. Woodhouse expressed surprise when asked today regarding the an- nouncement that Mrs, Dimock had sev- ered her connections with the series of memorials. “There must be some misunderstand- ing,” he said. “I have not heard any such thing from Mrs. Dimock. You speak of her attorneys. I didn’t know she had any. I do not know of any letter from any attorneys, but there is a pile of about a hundred letters on my desk which I haven't examined. “In any event I must hear directly frem Mrs. Dimock before I can believe that she has withdrawn. Why, she gave her approval to these memorials, providing she would not be called on to do any work. I promised her she would have absolutely nothing to do except receive the proceeds from the lectures and other events. “You see, Mrs. Dimock may have thought the memorials would call for some exertion on her part, but this is not so. We have sent out 100,000 tickets for the memorials, and every cent of the proceeds from the sale of these, at $1 each, is to go to the George Washington Memorial Associa- tion. I am sure when it is explained | to Mrs. Dimock that she will have no | work to do or any expenses of any kind to pay she will stay with us, if it is true she wants to withdraw.” Doesn't Think She Has Quit. “But I don’t think Mrs. Dimock has quit altogether. She just doesn’t want to enter into active participation in the program, and she won't have to. Unless I receive some definite word from her to the contrary, the events will go for- ward for the sole benefit of the George ‘Washington Memorial, in which we are all interested.” According to the circular sent to prospect ticket purchasers, the memo- rials are “in response to the appeals made by Vice President Curtis, Chief Justice Taft and Charles E. Hughes for contributions to complete the George ‘Washington Memaorial Building and to secure a section in the building for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Alr Corps to commemorate the fact that George Washington was the first head of the United States Army and Navy and the first to express belief that aerial navigation would become useful to mankind.” The events, beginnnig with today's lecture, will continue weekly, it is de- clared, “until Thursday, June 20, the last day of Spring and the birthday of Betty Washington. when a huge open-air memorial will be held at the George Washington Air Junction.” Airport Is Cited. The circular is illustrated with a re- ?rlnh of a cotemporary drawing show- ing the first balloon ascension in Amer- ica, at which George Washington was present. This ascension will be “repro- duced” at the junction each week in May, it is asserted. The circuluar adds: “At the request of the District of Columbia committee of the House of Representatives, 600 acres of the vast level fields on thé air junction have been pledged to and re- served to be the principal airport of the city that bears the name of its founder —Washington. The land is to be sup- plied at cost, or less than $100,000 for 800 acres, thereby saving the taxpayers over $3,000,000.” Attentlon is called in the folder to a statement by Representative Roy O. | I | | | | | R A (Continued From First Page.)

American accept- ance of the idea of transferring an agreed amount of tonnage from one category of warships to another to meet the particular requirements of that country was considered as applying especially to those two countries.

Fixing of the exact figures of total tonnage of fieets and the tonnage in each category of warships would, it was generally thought here, be entirely out- side the province of the preparatory commission, and would have to be agreed upon at such a future interna- tional conference. This future conference might be held either in Geneva, as the port of the disarmament activities of the League of Nations, & place designated by one of the naval powers inviting other na- tions to participate in a naval parley, or might be merged with the second Wash- ington conference. fixed by the Wash- ington treaty itself for 1931. As seen here the proposals of Mr. Gibson represented something in the nature of a compromise between the extremes of British and American viewpoints at Geneva in 1927, DAMAGE IN ST.

(Continued From First Page.) continue his operations despite low ! prices of his products. Industry, on the other hand, is as a rule more able to reduce its output to meet a decline in the price of its products. This com- parative difficulty of agriculture in ad- Justing its operations to declining prices is an important element of weakness |in the farmer's present position. *'(4) Dependence on the Foreign Mar- kets.—Those branches of American agriculture—cotton, pork, wheat, etc.— which produce in excess of domestic -equirements and which must, therefore, depend upon the vicissitudes of foreign markets, are at a disadvantage as com- pared with those parts of agriculture and those industries which do not pro- duce in excess of domestic require- ments and which, by reason of an effec~ tive tariff, are able to enjoy a depend- able buying power of our home market. While it is true that no tariff sched- ule guarantees to any producer, whether farmer or manufacturer, & price equal to the world price plus the tariff, it is also true that the tariff affords little protection to an industry that is highly competitive and which regularly produces substantial quanti- ties in excess of domestic requirements. This condition prevails with respect to some of the important farm products. The fact that the tariff serves to ex- clude foreign products from entering the domestic market, or at least pre- vents their importation in substantial quantities, affords little real protection unless the tariff also protects the price in that market, “(5) Fluctuations in Price Due to Variations in Yield.—Climatic and other natural conditions cause wide fluctua- tions in total yleld and, consequently, in the price of the product. These fluctuations in yleld largely beyond the farmer’s control and often subject him to violent fluctuations in the price. “The total value of a crop is as a rule more stable than the price per unit. Nevertheless, price fiuctuations, as well as the hazard of partial or total crop fallure on the individual farms, are an element of weakness in the farmer's position. “The recent hearings of the commit- tee, as well as its earlier hearings and deliberallons, have made it increasingly evident that no shugle measure will suf- fice in dealing with all of those aspects of the agriculture problem that may be dealt with by natural legislation. It is clear, however, that much could be done to strengthen the econoinic position of agriculture by the enactment of a measure designed to minimize price fluctuations in the marketing of agri- culture commoaities, especially those fluctuations which (1) are due to sea- sonal or year's total surpluses of farm products and surpluses in excess of domestic requirements, or (2) are due to the lack of effective associations under the producers’ own ®control through which they may develop that unity of purpose and action which modern economic life demands. Machinery Is Varied. “The machinery afforded by the bill for minimizing price fluctuations through controlling surpluses and en- couraging effective organization of pro- ducers s varted, For controlling of sur- pluses, the bill provides such preventive measures as advice to producers in mat- ters connected with the adjustment of production and aid in the formation of clearing-house associations. As reme- dies for minimizing the effects of sur- pluses, the bill provides for co-operation in expanding domestic and foreign m: kets and .developing by-products and new uses for agricultural commodities; loans to stabllization corporations for the buylng and storing of seasonal or year's total surpluses in excess of the requirements of orderly marketing or beyond domestic requirements; insur ance against price decline; and, final ly, the issuance of export debentures at the option of the board. “For the effective organization of pro- ducers, the bill provides for the encour- agement of the organization and de- velopment of effective co-operative asso- ciations of producers and for the form- ation of s[flgillmuon corporations which will, in part, serve as central merchan- dising agencles for handling the com- modity. The bill also stimulates effec- tive organization of producers through loans to co-operative associations and stabilization corporations for the acqui- sition of facilities and equipment for preparing, handling, storing, processing and sale of agricultural commodities in | order to develop continuity of co-opera- tive services from the point of produc- tion to and including the point of termi- nal marketing services. Again there are loans to co-operative associations for working capital and for the co-opera- tive purchasing of supplies and equip- ment for use in production. Finally, in order to strengthen co-operative asso- clations, loans are provided for the pur- pose of enabling the associations to ad- vance to their members a great share of the market price of the commodity de- livered to the associations that is prac- ticable under existing credit facilities. These organizations aids will establish a farm marketing system producer-owned and producer-controlled from point of production to the terminal markets, and one which, being affirmatively author- ized, is exempt from the restrictions of the antitrust laws so long as it conforms to the requirements of the bill and pro- motes ‘the best interests of the country as a whole.’” Farm Board Described. The Federal Farm Board, which is to be the heart of the machinery set up for farm aid, is described in the report | as follows: “Section 2 provides for a Federal farm board to consist of 12 appointed members, representing the various Fed- | eral land bank districts and the Secre- tary of Agriculture ex officio. It is especially desirable that the Secretary should be a member of this board in order to give to that body the benefits of his authoritative position and broad experience_and to insure eflective co- | operation between the board and the Department of Agriculture in order to prevent duplication of effort and un- necessary expenditures, The President is granted broad latitude in selecting members for the board, subject to the usual confirmation by the Senate. It is provided ‘that each appointee ‘shall have demonstrated his capacity and fitness by a record of success in agri- cultural activities of such nature as to give him special qualifications for his duties as & member of the board.’ It is important that the members of the board should be not only in sympathy with the aims of this act but also men of fundamental training and experience and of demonstrated capacity and fit- ness, as on them rests the responsibility for successtul administration of the act. The terms of office of the appointed members .are six years and are stag- gered. The salary of each appointed member is fixed at $12,000 per annum, except the chairman, whose salary is to be fixed by the President.” On the Debenture Plan. With regard to the debenture plan, the report said: “Section 10 provides a mechanism of export debentures which the board may use at its discretion in meetin, fal situations which the board may find it impossible to meet adequately under the loan, stabilization corporation or other provisions of the act. If, for example, there should be ANy year an excep- tienal surplus of a.commodity and it the marketing conditions should be such that the ;\lxml\;dmmg‘m be Adequately ler other the board would have the. 1 1 Hans Richter, German glider pilot, will attempt to fly across the Enflilh Channel this Summer in his motorless plane, the Astoria Bremen.

The bounty is payable in a form df currency denominated ex- port debentures. The amount of the bounty so payable upon the export of an agricultural commodity is one-half the amount of the import duty on such a commodity. In the case of exports of food products the bounty payable is proportionate to the amount of raw commodity consumed in the manufac- ture of the product. Debentures are legally tenderable at their face amount in payment of import duties. The cost to the Government is the amount dis- bursed as the export bounty through the issuance of export debentures. Ex- cept in so far as exporters of deben- turable commodities are also importers, the negotiable debenture certificates necessarily would be sold sufficiently below par to induce importers to use them in preference to cash in the pay- ment of import duties. For this reason the domestic market for the commodity would be inflienced by somewhat less than the full amount of the- debenture. “The effect upon production of any increase in the price of the commodity would depend on the policy which the board might choose to adopt in invok- ing this optional provision.” .

This impertant element of our population is still waiting to be served by radio in a new way, never before possible. “The best minds from out State uni- ersities and colleges and the depart- | ments at Washington must be added | to the teaching staff of our high schools through the development and perfect- ing of chain broadcasting as a national educational function.

Although the sun is 90,000,000 miles away, it has been possible to subject it to a chemical analysis. ‘Working with the spectroscope, 58 of the 90 elements known on earth have been identified there, according to Dr. Charles E. St. John of the Mount Wil- son Observatory, Pasadena, Calif. Of these 23 have not previously been rec- ognized. Among them are carbon and oxygen in the atomic state. It is probable that there are other elements in the sun which cannot be detected by the spectroscope, Dr. St. John said. The distinguishing spec- trum lines of such elements as flourine. chlorine, iodine, phosphorus neon, argon and krypton are in the ultra-violet and cannot come through because of the layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere about 50 miles above the earth. Other elements among the heavy metals and rare earths have not been identified, he said, because of the imperfect knowl-, edge of their spectra and the technical difficulties in interpreting them. ‘The probability, he indicated, is that | the sun is made of about the same kinds | different condition because of the enor- | mous temperatures and pressures.

Magnetic storms on earth and the aurora borealis of the northern heavens probably are due to great blasts of ultra- violet light shot out from the sun and striking the earth's atmosphere, ac-; cording to E. O. Hulbert of the Naval, Research Laboratory, who has checked this theory by studying the behavior of comets. Such ultra-violet light blasts, he said, would cause comets to change shape, throw out new talls, or even to break up. They have been observed to do all these things. A comparison of comet | observations and magnetic storms dur-| ing the past 50 years shows that the most striking changes in the forms of these celestial visitors have come al- most simultaneously with the magnetic disturbances. The great comet of 1882, the largest ever observed, came at the same time as the greatest magnetic storm ever recorded. It split into four parts'and was lost to view. ‘The unusual blasts of ultra-violet light, it was explained, are shot forth at times of great disturbance on the surface of the sun. Measures Energy Speeira. Working with a new instrument of such delicacy that if it were set up on the Pacific Coast it would be affected by a candle burning on the Atlantic Coast, providing that the earth were flat and there was no atmosphere, Dr. C. G. Abbot of the Smithsonian Institution has been able to measure the energy spectra of the fainter stars. A ray of light from the star being measured is directed against wings of house flies, of which 6,000,000 would be requiréd to make a pound and which | i | DOGWOOD IS URGED ASFLOWERFORU.S, Newton Darden Suggests Tree’s Bloom Should Be National Blossom. The flowering dogwood should be adopted as the national flower for the United States, according to Newton J. Darden of 922 Grant place northwest, who has written to the managers of the dogwood-preservation campaign ap- proving the protection policy. _“The United States has no distinc- tive flower to represent the Nation as a whole,” he wrote. “Many States al- ready have adopted some flower pecu- liar to the locality, but while the Gov- ernment possesses a coat of arms and a flag, no floral emblem has been desig- nated, and the dogwood is peculiarly adapted to that purpose. It is indigenous to a large area of the United States, its flowers possess a rare and pleasing beauty that enshrine them in natural sentiment and this magnificent flower should be designated as a symbol of purity for all time to come. It is a most fitting emblem of American ideals. Would Eclipse Cherry Trees. . “Dogwood (Coinus Florida) is found in wooded areas throughout all Eastern North America, the central valleys of the interior and to some extent the far West. and aside from its pristine beauty the tree is a fine hardwood utilized in many industries. The dog- wood flower, sometimes tinged with purple and red, attains its greatest per- fection in the lower Mississippi Valley region, and woodlands with many dog- wood trees in bloom at this season of the year, present a matchless scene of beauty incomparable to any other forest scene. “If Washington had a dogwood for- est equal in extent to the Japanese cherry trees in Potomac Park, when the dogwoods come into bloom, their massive beauty would eclipse the cherry blossoms now so much ad- mired by all. I have seen small areas of woodland interspersed with many dogwood trees in bloom that in many | respects transcended our panorama of cherry blossoms around the tidal basin, Adapted to Purpose. “America now requires a national | flower for decorative purposes, one that lends itself to many forms of floral util- ity; & flower beautiful in itself and dis- tinctively representative of the Nation's ideals of purity and stability, the dog- wood is pre-eminently adapted to il these most exacting requirements of a national floral emblem. Its flower may be carved readily or otherwise repro- duced in wood or stone. and is unmis- takable when once known; it is sus- ceptible of artistic treatment when painted and engraved. and may easily be wrought into heraldic devices, as a of every character.” acuminate with outstanding veins, and in Autumn take on rich hues of red and in number, ripen in late Summer and form shapely clusters of orange-red on a stem, which, contrasted against the dark green leaves of the tree, form a pleasing picture of floral beauty, and the tree itself, though not large, is stately; its branches and sprigs are sym- metrical; all of which especially fit the dogwood to become the national floral emblem of the United States.” Y RAIDERS ARREST THREE ON GAMBLING CHARGES Police Locate What They Describe as Elaborate Establishment Near Interior Department Building. ‘What was described by police as an elaborate gambling establishment directly across the street from the De- partment of Interfor Building was raid- ed late yesterday afternoon by Sergt. Oscar J. Letterman’s vice squad, and three men arrested on charges of set- ting up a gaming table. Those arrested in the raid which was on an apartment in the 70 block of Eighteenth street, gave their names as Fritz Alfred Melton, 41 years old: George Johnson, 49 years old, and Abe Goldberg, 25 years old. Sergt. Letterman said he found 10 men in the place, but that he was re- lably informed a much greater crowd afternoon. The raiding officers in- cluded Dctr('tic\'es Richard J.

Observations are read from 20 feet away. Working with this extremely delicate instrument last Summer, Dr. Abbot was able to secure measurements of 18 stars and the planets Mars and Jupiter. From the results, he said, it will be pos- sible to measure the diameters of the observed stars. The instrument, Dr. Abbot explained, was a development from the idea used in a radiometer commonly sold by opticians as a sort of mechanical toy. The stars are moving in two enormous celestrial streams running in opposite directions to and from a point in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, at a velocity of approximately 19 kilometers a second relative .to each other, said Jan Schilt of the Yale University ob- servatory, who based his calculations on the observed proper motions of about 30,000 heavenly & P There is an old controversy in astron- omy, Schilt said, as to whether the stars are moving in two streams, passing through each other like two swarms of an elliptold through space. *The latter has won more favor because it is easier to put into a mathematical formula. h square, which are used as vanes | The newer observ fum the existence ations, however, cone of the star streams.. coat-of-arms and for floral decoratlnnsi “Its leaves are dark green, ovate- | vellow; its seeds, usually five to seven | frequented the place earlier in the | Lid: DALGHTERS U DD TOHONEFUND $3,500 Donation #rém Chap- ters in New York Announced at Council Session. A donation of approximately 3500 to the building fund for tne new home for the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 fro mchapters of th sociely in New York was announced at the meeting of Thirty-seventh Associate Council of the association this morn- ing at the Willard Hotel. 'The site of the new home is 1461 Rhode Island avenue. ‘The national treasurer's report re- vealed donations from practically all of the chapters of the society toward the completion of the Navy and Marine Memorial to be exected in Potomac Park and also toward the preservation of Friendship Hall, home of Albert Galla- tin, and other activities in which the association is interested. Mrs. Baughman Presents Banner. Reports were then made other committees and national officers. Mrs. J. Harris Baughman of Kentucky pre- ted the national society with a ban- ner. The afternoon program included re- ports of the chairmen of standing com- mittees, including Real Daughters in- signia, Miss Alma Winston Wilson of In- diana’ grave markers, Miss Eloise Rand Butler, New York; patriotic education, Mrs. Allen Haines Vance, California; certificate of membership, Mrs. Samuel W. Earle, Illinois; correct use of flag, Mrs. Reuben Ross Hollow: Maryland; Resolution and recommendation, Mrs. Henry James Carr, Pennsylvania. A banquet will be held this evening at 7:30 at the Willard, at which the guests of honor and speakers will be Secretar: of Labor Davis and Senator Reed of Pennsylvania. Fries and Lynch Speak. The benefits accruing to youth from participation in activities of the civilian military training camps and the Re- serve Officers’ Training Corps were de- scribed to the society yesterday after- noon by Brig. Gen. Amos Fries, U. S, A., and Lieut. Col. G. A. Lynch of the Army War College. In the nature of “exhibit A” to sup- port Gen. Fries’ assertion that the Summer camps make better citizens was the appearance of Cadet Major Fred D. Vechery of the Washington Cen- tral High School Corps, who deseribed daily life at the cam based on his attendance at two. Support given to the R. O. T. C. by 226 colleges and universities has re- sulted in 34,000 young men qualifying as second lieutenants in the United States Army Reserves, Col. Lynch told the society. The two officers were in- troduced by Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, chairman of the organization's com- mittee on national defense, who re- ported briefly on the society’s work in the last year. “Internationalism and Nationalism” was the subject of an addres: Helen K. Stewart of Wisconsin, recently visited European capitals. “Be a nationalist first and internationalism will help itself,” she asserted. Her ob- servations of sessions of the League of Nations Council at Geneva did not cause her to change her opinion that the United States should not enter the League, she said. She urged the so- clety to make defense and the Con tution subjects for study at meetings. | “Be sure to have the right kind of speaker on the subject,” she said. Patriotic Exercises Held. Patriotic exercises marked the pro- gram last evening. Colors were pre- sented to the society by Maj. Gen. Eli A. Helmick. U. S. A, retired, and the invocation was pronounced by William Tyler Page, clerk of the Houss of Ren- resentatives, who later recited “The American’s Creed.” of which he is the author. Delegates were welcomed by Mrs. Charles F. Rice, second national viee president. ‘The Missouri Society chapter was awarded a pennant for having brought in the largest membership in the vear, and the Maryland chapter received an honor pennant for having accomplished the most in the recent campaign for money to preserve Old Ironsides. A copy of the flag flown from Fort McHenry in the War of 1812 was pre- sented to the society by the Illinois chapter. Following the program. members were entertained at a reception in the hotel. Among those receiving were Mrs. Frank D. Callan, Mrs. Charles F. Rice. Miss Florence J. Judik and Mrs. Harris Baughmar, national vice presidents, . NEGOTIATING * TREATY.
