The monthly conference of the Dis- trict of Columbia Congress of Parents and Teachers, held at the Wilson Teachers’ College, Tuesday afternoon, took the form of a celebration of the thirty-third birthday of the national organization. The program for this Founders' day celebration was in cha of Mrs. T. A. Young, chairman of Child Welfare day for the District of Colum- bia Congress of Parents and Teachers. The meeting was opened with music by the Singing Mothers, led by Mrs, E. L. Norris. Mrs. F. Morris presented MS¥' Norris with a check for $25, the proceeds of the card party given by the executive board for the purchase of music and other supplies for the Singing Mothers. It was announced that in response to resolutions passed by the congress asking that a_teacher be placed in the Children’s Recelving Home, a letter had been received from Dr. F. W. Balloy, stating that at present there is no teacher available for that work and the request was therefore denied. The regular order of business was suspended and several pageants in honor of Founders' day were given by groups from different schools. The first showed a large birthday cake lighted with 33 candles. When Mrs. Rafter cut the cake, eight little girls dressed in white, crowned with candles came from the cake and sang an original song of the founding of the Parent-Teacher Association and gave a graceful inter- pretative dance. These children were from the John Burroughs School and were trained by Miss Florence B. Law- son, a teacher, who also wrote the words of the song. Children from the Joseph R. Keene School entertained with several play- lets culminating in & “Cheerio birthday greeting,” the presentation of a birth- day cake and wound up with the Keene School yell given with a will by the following children, Elmer Hooper, Mary Wyche, Bernard Joy, Betty Cheeney, Dan Morris, Peggy Finnell, Bernice Taylor, Magdalen Hopkins, Dorothy Miller, Ruth Taylor, Stephen Miller, Marjon Miller, Edna Dickens, Ethel Ahearn and Mildred Mills. Mrs. George Grove, a teacher, sang “The Mother Hymn” and “The Tree of the P.T.A." with Mrs. Arthur Clime at the piano. Mrs. Finis D. Morris arranged this en- tertainment and took the part of the teacher in the playlet. ‘The Park View Platoon School furnished a six-foot copy of Child Wel- fare Magazine, from the pages of which ice | appeared the following members of the Tenley-Janney Association: Mesdames H. Drury, E. R. Duehring, G. Gerst, C. 8. Corg, R. Hurdle, F. Ehrhardt, Fayette Smart, Pat Loughran, S. S. Kirby. These ladies dressed in the costumes of 33 years ago and represent- ing the first executive board of the organization, sang the mothers’ hymn. ‘The roll of organizations in the District of Columbia was then called and the presidents, or some one representing them, responded by bringing an offer- ing. Mrs. David O. Mears, National Founders’ day chairman, spoke feelingly of the early efforts of Mrs. A. A. Birney and Mrs. P. R. Hearst in forming the Congress of Mothers. A parent-teacher pageant, “The Oracle Speaks,” was given by a group of junior high school presidents, led by Mrs. Franklin Jones. Presidents are requested to enroll at once in the 1930 Summer round-up campaign. S.el\ltnflnn blanks are in the State office and will be furnished upon request. During March there will be a meeting of the local chairmen. At this meeting full instructions for carrying on the campaign will be given.

BY ROSE PATTERSON, Staft_Correspondent of The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. LONDON, February 22.—A bright and | up-to-date daily newspaper, which will | compete with London’s best and appeal | to both sexes, all parties and all creeds, | and will be owned and controlled by a| million women, is the latest project in British journalism. ‘The originator of the idea, Miss Annie | Colles, chairman of the company, is brimming with enthusiasm. “So far women have had no control- ling interest in the dally press,” she be- gan, when I called on her in her Lon- don home. “In consequence war and many other preventable social evils are accepted almost as a matter of course. This is to our shame, and we women must now arise and right this condition. | “It will not be a woman's paper in the restricted sense. The staff will be composed of men as well as women— the best people we can possibly get. The idea is to have an editorial and administrative staff comprising an equal number of men and women who will work together in perfect harmony and co-operation. “But the controlling interest will be | held by women. We want to get a million $5 shareholders. We don't want large shareholders, and nobody, a matter of fact, will be allowed to invest more than $1,000. There will be one vote only for each shareholder, no matter what her holding. Women Best Managers. “You see, women are the best man- agers. They are more spiritual and far-seelng than men, too, and we who are working to establish the Call feel that women need the chance, the sort of representation that can be had only in a national newspaper. “Not that our stunts will be feminine stunts or our leading articles feminist articles. Not a bit of it. Anything in the nature of sex antagonism is abhor- | rent to me and to all of us. Men and | women were made to be comrades, and we women want to show the world that we can be comrades.” “I see,” I said, perhaps doubtfully. “You want to achieve this perfect com- radeship, but you want the control of the whole thing to be held by women only.” “Why, yes,” acknowledged Miss Colles. “That is only fair when men have con- trolled such things for so long. We can do it as well, and we want to show Men have a habit of controlling, and it is only because of this age-long habit that they are so often allowed to control. “Do you know of any man who could make a career for himself and run a| home at the same time? -Do you know | of any man who could manage a home | as a full-time job with the efficiency | of a woman? I don't. Yet countless| women are running homes as well as| careers very successfully. “But we shall have clever men as well as celever women on the Call, and we shall pay our clever women as much | as our clever men. There will be no| distinction between the sexes. We in- tend to show them how they should treat us women.” “There will be no bar to married| women on your staff?” “No, indeed. I see no reason for that. I ran my hame and brought up my children and pursued a full journalistic career for many years, and neither my husband nor my children, I am sure, felt that I neglected them in any way.” “‘Are your shareholders English women so far?” I inquired. Interest Is World Wide, “Not only English. We have excited interest in the venture nearly all over the world already. We have share- holders on the Continent, in the colo- nies and in the United States, in Japan, India, Cuba and Brazil. We have members who hold posts in the Reich- stag. “Of course, we want lots more, too. We want to draw Sogether women of all nations to help us to work, above all things, for peace. Timt is the one plank in our platform fram which we shall never depart. We must unite the women of the world to this end. They can| help so much in this great cause, espe- | cially the women of Britain and America. “The Call will alm at improving con- | posed ditions for women the world over, to give them the chance they have never yet had. We do not want to exalt them above men: we merely want to give them equal opportunities with men. We are out to prove that there is no sex antagonism fundamentally, and that marriage should not and need not be a failure. We belleve men and| women can be comrades in every de- partment of life, and we are going to work to prove it. “We shall begin with our million readers and keep them and attract others because of the excellent quality of our paper. They will be attracted by seeing every one get a fair show, in the first place. We shall, for instance, when any important matter is under discussion in Parliament, print in full the speeches of all parties, for and against, and re- frain from adding our own persuasion in either direction. We want to make people think for themselves, rather than fall into line with the views expressed in leading articles. “Our paper will offer attractions com- ting with those of other dailles. We ave already new ideas for accident and other insurance schemes, and we are assured plenty of advertising. Foreign Editions Likely. “When we have got going we shall hope to have foreign editions of the Call, and we shall no doubt be able to finance some excellent things. One of our ideas would be, when we had raised | further capital, to’start a model thea- ter and a model concert party. Miss Colles. “There is no reason at all why we should not get our million as soon as we issue our tus, and then we shall go forward with premises, plant and staff. “Several leading business men are already interested in our venture, and among our shareholders are several women of title, professional women of every grade, including eminent doctors, lawyers and teachers, social reformers, and many broad-minded but humble wage earners. “We on the board give our services gratis, though later, of course, our di- rectors will be paid. The Call, Ltd., is| a legally constituted company, and the liability of each shareholder is strictly limited to her holding. “Do not forget that our great aim is peace. When we have got rid of war and the spirit that makes for war we shall be able to deal so much more effectively with other evils. And get- ting rid of war is very largely up to us women. Our new daily, which, mind you, is a good and sound commercial proposition as well, is a call to all the women of the world for this purpose. It is, in fact, the Call.” (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alilance.) OVERPRODUCTION IS HELD FARM PROBLEM Hyde Says Agriculturist Supplying Nation’s Food Faces Vital Issue. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 22.—Over- production is ome of the most vital problems faced by the farmer, Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, said last night in an address before the New York Traffic Club. The American farmer, the most ef- ficient in the world, he said, has kept pace with the progress of industry and has in the last 10 years increased his production by 20 per cent. “In the face of a declining farm pop- ulation and an increased urban popula- tion,” he said, “the farmer has kept successfully supplied the Nation's need and produced a surplus in many crops in addition. And in this surplus lies one of his most serious problems. “‘Quite apart from the will of the farmer, agriculture has been over ex- panded.” ELABORATE AUTO TAGS UNDER OFFICIAL VETO Kentucky Legislature Passes Bill Barring All But Serial Number and Name of State. By the Associated Press. FRANKFORT, Ky., February 22.— “Kentucky for Progress” on automobile license tags was doomed Thursday by the State House of resentatives, which passed by a vote of 72 to 14 a bill already approved by the Senate provid- ing that only a serial number, “Ken- tucky” and the name of the county may appear on future tags. The bill now goes to Gov. Plurd D. Sampson, who has defended the s but its opponents have announced y will pass it over his veto in the event of such action. ‘The 1930 license plates will not be affected. They bear the slogan on the rear plate only, the name of the county being on the front tag. CHARGE AIR MONOPOLY. LISBON, Portugal, February 22 (#).
