Emnphasis was laid upon the inter- national relations, community service and public welfare programs of the General Federation of Women's Clubs at the Midwinter meeting of the board of directors which closed yesterday at national headquarters in Washington. President Hoover, himself, stressed | the importance of the work of the de partment of international relations when he told Mrs. Sippel, president of the { organization, upon the occasion of his | reception to the entire board, that the | time_will come when he will call upon | the “battalion of the general federation | for ascistance in the Work of establish- ing or stabilizing world peace.” This conversation resulted in the passage of a special resolution by the board pledg- | ing the support of the federation to the | President in his international program. Mrs. Sippel, in her address, further { emphasized the general federation’s in- ternational relations program when she sald: “We seek through our interna- tional relations department, better un- derstanding of our neighbor nations and of all the nations in the world. We should use all available means to that {end and guard jealously against ham- { pering the growth of this understanding | by accrediting to one method or to one | agency of bringing it about. the devo- | tion we owe only to the ideal itself. As i you all know, I have been deeply inter- ested in promoting among the clubs. the study of the life, literature and cuiture of nations on the Western Hemisphere. Underlying the promotion is the convic. | tion that more knowledge of the normal ways of life of other peoples on this half of the globe is essential to the un- derstanding which is in turn the only ecure base of continued peace.” | Mrs. Ben Hooper, chairman of the | department of international relations, | summarized the present objective of her epartment and its work of the past | year briefly: “Last year our work was {for the ratification of the multilateral treaty. This year. the council meeting | at Swampscott voted that the duties of | this department would be to work for | the strengthening of the machinery of | Government. through which we may be able to cbviate future wars. Therelore, | our definite piece of work at present is {to secure our entrance into the World Court.” Her department also has done much to forward Mrs. Sippel’s project of gain- ing & better understanding of the West- ern nations through a most successful Pan-American program. | Prediction of an imminent study of prison _problems by all governors and State Legislatures, with consequent re- | organization of prison methods in man: States, within the next legislative pe- riod, and the announcement of an un- vide adequate care for delinquent women and girls in that teritory made by Miss Julia K. Jaffray, chairman of the divi- sion of correction, was a salient feature of the reports from the department of public welfare, of which Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar is chairman. Mrs. Dunbar her- self made no report, but called upon her fvision chairmen to outline the work of this comprehensive department, one of the largest in the federation. Mrs. Daniel Coonan of Minneapolis, Minn., chairman of the division of pub. lic health, reported that her division is concentrating upon two things—the upport of the program of Mrs, Dunbar, chairman of public welfare, in her work as general federation representative on the White House conference on child | health and_protection. and the com- campalgn. which | munity health study has t"’vo objectives, acquainting local clubs with existing health conditions and furnishing a basis for securing and sup‘)flrtln‘| a health service under a qualified health officer. Mrs. W. E. Minier, Oakland, Nebr., chairman of the division of community rated program of community planning, {ramed since Mrs. Sippel sounded “com munity service” as the keynote of her | inistration. ‘Because ‘community service' is the keynote of Mrs .Sippel’s administration our program has grown Nation-wide in Scope,” said Mrs. Minier. “Several States that up until now have not had such a division of work have created their own State divisions of community service and we have framed a program devoted to & brand-new subject for clubwomen —community planning. Along with it we have sent out two | pamphlets, one on city planning and | the other on zoning. Both have had a | good reception.” | The necessity of increased appropria- tions for the Indian Service was stressed by Mrs. Joseph Lindan Smith, Dublin. N. H. in her report on the division of Indian welfare, department of public welfare, who declared that of next importance to the work done by ber division in this direction was that of assisting State and Government offi- cials whose duty it is to care for the Indians in the complex situation re- garding education and health. She urged all of the clubwomen residing in the vicinity of reservations to mak~ personal contacts with the Indians and iry through this means to assist in health and educational projects.

Field and Smith in prepar- ation for the annual inspection by a tatutory board from the Navy Depart- ment. Its purpose is to have the out- fit looked over by these regular officers | to ascertain whether or not the organ- | ization presents any defects.

Mrs. Stephen Pell of New York, speak- ing this past week over a Natfon-wide radio hook-up under the auspices of the National Woman's Party, declared that women have swept away the soclal, po- litical and economic barriers they for- merly encountered because of their sex and are rapidly gaining equality with men. Particularly stressing economic advance, Mrs. Pell said there are now in this country over 3,000 woman lawyers, 6,000 woman bankers, brokers, building ang loan officers an insurance company officers, over 13,000 woman managers and manufacturing officers, 5 woman bank presidents, and nearly 200,000 women who cwn and manage their own farms. Mrs. Pell, who is a member of the national council of the Woman's Party, spoke on the program broadcast over & coast-to-coast network every week by the National Woman's Party, dealing with the activities of women. Senator Key Pittman of Nevada will speak next Wednesday on the Women's roadcast, on “Women as| such a detriment to those who are at- tached to divisions mobilizing on tend- ers, mine layers or other auxiliaries. The mobilization plans do not contemplate that such officers will go to destroyers with their divisions, but, rather, that they will be assigned to larger auxil- 1aries or to shore billets. Age, in such billets, the bureau officials say, is not necessarily a handicap—in fact, it is easy to contemplate many shore billets, such as recruiting, training, etc., in which an older man might have a dis- antage. There seems to be & gene! impression that the elimination of older officers of the rank of com- mander and above by some age limit scheme would offer promotion to younger officers. The naval officials say that there is no sentiment so radical as to suggest that the older officers be discharged upon reaching the proposed age ilmit. The expectalion was that they would be transferred to the volun- teer Reserve. ‘The department adds that officers of the Naval Reserve of the rank of commander and above are provided by law for the specific purposes of recruit- ing, organization, administration, train- ing, inspection and mobilization. Age, within reasonable limits, the bureau continues, should not be a detriment to the performance of such duties. The | Naval Reserve regulations provide that | officers who are unable to comply with the requirements for the fleet Reserve may, in the discretion of the Bureau of Navigation, be transferred to the Volunteer Naval Reserve. SEA BATTLES BRITTANY. Population Shaken by Windless Phenomenon Following Tremblor.

The phenomenon shook the morale of the population, inured though the people are to freaks of the ocean. What disturbed them Thursday was that there was no wind to account for the waves. RESORTS.

Selections re. main to be made for the naval con- struction course by a board that will convene this month. An effort is being made to permit officers of the Navy who have held the rank of admiral or vice admiral on the active list to retain such rank while on_the retired list. To that end Senator Hale, chairman of the Senate naval committee, has introduced a bill. In the event this bill is enacted into law prior to the conclusion of the London Naval Conference it would change the precedence of several of the officers who are attending in the capacity of nayal advisers. For ex- ample, Admiral William V. Pratt, com- mander-in-chief of the United States fleet, is the -senior naval officer going to London, but the above legisiation would confer on Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, U. S. N, retired, the rank of admiral, with a date of precedence from the date he was appointed com- mander-in-chief of the United States fleet, several years ago, and conse- quently he would become the senior naval officer attending the conference. Army. The War Department is opposed to the proposal to equalize retired pay of Army officers who were over 45 years of age when originally appointed. The changes that would be brought about in existing law by this proposal would per- mit all officers originally appointed at an age greater than 45 years, when Te- tired for age at 64, to receive 75 per cent of their active pay at the time of retirement instead of the retired pay now authorized for them at the rate of 4 per cent of active pay for each com- plete year of commissioned service in the military establishment. officers retired for age is based on length of service to the Government and the rank attained while rendering such service. It was pointed out in the War Department that to authorize the maximum per centum of active pay (75 per cent) to this group of officers, who will not have earned it by actual serv- ice, would appear to discriminate against other officers who by their long service earn the authorized maximum. It is estimated that the initial cost of this proposal would be approximatel $16.400 to cover the increased pay of such officers now on the retired list.
