THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTONX, D _C, MAY 26. 1929—PART o D Pen Women Enthusiastic Over Clubhouse Project—Mrs. Wil- son Honored by Democratic Women — Henry Minor Speaks—Voters’ Service Closes— Notes. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. NTHUSIASM for the clubhouse they will build in tne near future on the shores of the Po- tomac, :n Gecrgetown, ‘s rapidly mounting in the many branches of the National league of American Pen Women, accoraung tc announce- ment by Miss Flocenc2 E. Ward. chair- man of the national clukicuse com- mittee for the league. Miss Ward is highly gratified at ti> 1esponses re- ceived from the que: ¢ she re- cently sent out o all s. both in the large proporticn ¢! answers and in the fact that most of the letters ex- pressed great int:-est ia the undertak- ing. Among the que tions pu’ befcre the branches was o> askinz “Your atti- tude as to the vajue of ihe ciubhouse undertaking 1or the promotion of the league work This wes No. 1, on the questionnaire, and arouscd much in- terest. Question No. 2 asked, “To what extent the clubho campaign has been presented and discussed i your| branch?” and replies received indicate that this subi:ct has been on the tongues and in the thoughts of the pen women at the ment of the branches, ! The questions, have been made for the clubhouse?” and *“ branch plan to do ¢ vear as a_mea funds?" shoted that cperation in 3 clubhouse muvement many of th> ‘uictic coming yvear and also that in tke club year just closed a large nawrber of events has been given with the na- tional clubhouss fund a recipient of or sharer in the money raised The Diistrict branch of the league, as most closely located in relation to the site of the clubhouse, and as the foun- | der branch of the organization, has been most generous in the financial aid | it has given to the fund being raised during the months that have followed since the actual purchase of the South- worth property last Summer. It wx through the efforts of this branch i lier administrations that a nest egg | was accumulated which made possibie the initial payment on the property. It is an interesting fact that a few years ago, the Miami, Fla., branch, of which Mrs. Clarence M. Busch was | president prior to her election to the national presidency of the league last | year, gave & Very generous sum, amount- ing to several hundred dollars, to the fund that was being amassed. Last Summer Mrs. Busch had the satisfac- tion of seeing that gift used, with other money raised by the District, and with contributions from other branches of smaller amounts, for the first payment on the property purchased in the early months of her administration as na- tional president. The interest of Miami continues in the project, as shown by a letter from Mrs. Frank M. Terry, president of the branch, who writes that “The Miami branch is in favor of the national club- house purchase,” and who tells of the celebrity tea given last Winter and of the series of book reviews under the auspices of this branch, in which the national clubhouse fund has shared and will share. Mrs. Vira K. B. Humphreys, presi- dent of the Jacksonville branch, lieves that the step taken by the na- tional “is vital in promoting the work and influence of the N. L. A. P. W. and Mrs. Walter J. Wallace, president of the Knoxville, Tenn., branch, says: “We are enthusiastic over the value of the clubhouse undertaking for the pro- motion of the league.” Mrs. Mary Cornelius White, president of the St. Louis, Mo., branch, states that “the attitude of the St. Louis branch is strong for the clubhouse,” and says also that “there has been evidence of increased interest and activity on the part of some members.” Sentiment expressed by branches that are very far away from the national headquarters in Washington is as favor- able as that of those located nearer by. Mrs. O. F. Lamson, president of the branch in Seattle, Washington State, thinks that “a clubhouse in Washing- ton gives a certain amount of dignity to the league,” and “gives the members a focus when they come to Washing- ton.” Mrs. Grace Sanderson Michie, | president of the Golden Gate branch | in California, members of which are very largely. active newspaper women, says the branch “thinks it would be a splendid thing in every way. Mrs. Ida K. Lane, past president of the Dallas, Tex., branch of which she was | president until the recent election in | the branch, states: “Our local league is in favor of a clubhouse.” | Mrs. Caroline L. Dier, president of | the Denver, Colo., branch, writes in-| terestingly knew the old Southworth | home so well, and my little mother used 10 go there to tea when she was a little girl.” Mrs. Dier refers to Washington as her old home, and tells of the plans | of the Colorado branch to raise money for the clubhouse fund in 1929, in ad- dition to the gift of a very handsome and unusual table, which was sent to national headquarters in the Willard | Hotel this Spring, for ultimate placing in the clubhouse. The table was made | to order from one which descended to | Marie McFerson of the Colorado | branch, from her grandmother, and hand-painted with a floral medallion in | the center and a floral border about the | edge of the table. Thirty-seven va- | rieties of Colorado wild flowers are pic- | tured in the decorations, Mrs. McFerson being the artist. Mrs. Flora Dingle Jesseph, formerly of this city, now president of the Chicago branch, writes: “I am fond of | the traditions connected with the | Southworth home and think the honor | we are paying * * * is just and fitting. | You may always count upon my heart- | fest co-operation.” | “Unqualified indorsement and ap- | probation.” are the sentiments of the | Huron, S. Dak., branch, as expressed | by the president, Margarette Ball Dick- son, and Mrs. John H. Jepson, pres) dent of the Minnesota branch. says: | “We believe a clubhouse is & Teal need for the promotion of the league work ar: ng far ds for sing el bhouse a spirit of co- G put cver the was mativating to be Leld the 1 Democratic Club. featured activities of | fiet, fnt 108 SUCIASC, St cqual Florence E.

Mrs, J.

Dell, United States Civil| Service Commissioner. | i | Henry D. Minor of Mississippi. former | Democratic national _committeeman from his State, also former State Sena- tor and author of “The Story of The | Democratic Party,” spoke before the | ‘Women's National Democratic Club last Monday at the weekly forum luncheon, stressing the importance of having a written record of the history of the party which would be full in detail and accurate as to facts. “Such a history, which has been sadly lacking in the past, would have made the party a power in national politics today,” he declared. Mr. Minor reviewed the history of the influence of the Democratic party on the life of the country from its first organization by Thomas Jefferson. ex- plaining the tariff issue in party politics and touching on the attitude of the party on present farm relief problems. In concluding, he proposed that the Democrats outline a definite program embodying a solution to the farm and | tariff problems which would be ex- pressed in a form that leaves no doubt in any voter's mind as to what to ex- pect from a Democratic majority within | the next four years. “Let us have a platform free from in- definiteness or complicated issues. and | let us put it before the voters in terms that cannot be misunderstood or mis- 0. of the National Education Association present- ed Mr. Minor.

Woman's Party has sent representatives to Europe to attend a meeting in Berlin on June 14, for the purposing of forming an inter- national organization of women to work for industrial equality between men and women. The call to this meeting was sent out by the Open-Door Council of Great Britain to women of all coun- tries who believe that industrial legis- lation should be based upon the nature of the work and not upon the sex of the worker. Practically every country has answer- ed_the call. Miss Alma Lutz and Miss Marguerite Smith of Boston will represent the National Woman's Party. They will join the British feminists in London, | and will proceed with them to Berlin, where the conference will be held just before the meeting of the International Suffrage Alliance. The National Council of the National Womean's Party met in Washington last ¢ Wednesday to lay plans for the ob- servance of the tenth anniversary of the passage of the woman’s suffrage amendment by Congress. Women in every State, it was announced. will hold fitting celebrations, stressing the fact that the suffrage amendment Was rights amendment and complete equal- ity in law between men and women. A garden party will be given at the Woman's Party headquarters at 5 o'clock, June 4. Senator Watson of Indiana, chairman of the judiciary committee at the time the suffrage amendment was passed, will be the chief speaker of the afternoon. Mabel Vernon, of Wilmington, Del., national executive secretary of the Woman's Party, and Mrs. Florence Hilles, also of Delaware, will speak. Both are well known throughout the country for their work in winning suffrage. Woman's Party speakers will be heard over the radio in all sections of the country on June 4. Mary Moss Wellborn of Mississippi, organizer of the National Woman's Party, has just returned to the head- quarters on Capitol Hill after two months' work in Connecticut, where a state branch of the Woman's Party was organized. This branch will work for local equal-rights measures in Con- necticut and will join with the national organization in the work for legal equality by national action. Mabel Vernon of Wilmington, Del., national executive secretary of the Woman's Party, is touring Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois, speaking before the local Zonta Clubs on the equal rights amendment and its effect upon indus- trial legislation for women. Many branches of Zonta have adopted resolu- tions in favor of industrial equality be- | tween men and women. A similar res- olution is now before the national or- ganization of Zonta, to be voted on this summer. * K ok % 'HE EARLY 1929 and second serlcsl of the “Voters’ Service,” a political educational weekly radio feature spon- sored jointly by the National League of | ‘Woman Voters and the National Broad- casting Co., is to terminate on Tuesday night, June 4.
