Tales of Well Known Folk " In Social and Official Life Secre(ary St;mson nnd Alsociatel 0{ Pan-Amer;- can Union Indor!e Dominican Rep“blic‘! Clfll'm Relating to “Great Discoverer.” BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. ‘The Secretary of State, Mr. Henry L. Stimson, chairman of the governing board of the Pan-American Union— the vice chairman being the-Mexican Ambassador, the dean of the corps— and the associate members have to all | intents and purposes officially endorsed ' the claim of the Dominican Republic that the bones of the great discoverer rest under the high altar in the Ca- thedral of Santo Domingo. For this reason_and because this ancient city was the first founded in the New World and_the seat of authority dele- gated to Columbus by Ferdinand and Isabella, the mammoth light house, which is to be .the memorial erected Yy pan-America to his memory, was Placed in its harbor. This mighty pharos, which is to be the most mag- nificent, most powerful and significant in all the world, has reached the stage | that the 10 architects chosen by the in- | ternational jury which sat in Madrid | Inst Summer will be associated in all 'the final awards. These will be an- nounced this Summer from Rio de | Janeiro. The inception of this ambi-| tlous tribute from the republics of North and South America was noted at the Pan-American Congress held in Santiago de Chile in 1923. When bids were invited in the international compe tition, 455 architects sent plans and 46| countries were represented. The jury in Madrid selected 10 worthy designs and these contributions will be selected for| their several parts this coming July, after the prize winners are announced. ‘The winner of the best plan will re- cefve $10,000, while the second, third and fourth drawings will command $7,500, 5,000 and $2,500, respectively, | while the other six will receive $1,000 each. Spanish historians have not acknowledged this claim of Santo Do- mingo about the discoverer's body never having been removed, but impartial Judges have been impressed by the evi- dence submitted by the Dominican suthorities. In Seville Cathedral, under & splendid canopy upheld by Knights of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarro, visitors are shown what is claimed is the last resting place of Columbus. * K ok ok Kathryna Hoffman Ray, the 5-year- old cousin of Mrs. S8axham F. Drury, who was Mabel Gerry of New York City, sister of the former Senator from Rhode Island, Peter Goelet Gerry, is the happiest small girl in Gotham. Mrs. Drury has sent her as a combined birthday gift and Easter greeting a| charming doll house, an exact minia- ture of her famous mansion in Berkeley uare. It is announced on a silver tablet as “Kathryna's House in Drury Lane, London,” the family of Rev. BSaxham Drury having given that name to the famous theatrical thoroughfare. ‘The doll house, exquisitely fashioned, is of Georgian architecture with 2,000 pleces of furniture of the same period and in this is included a dainty set of royal Worcester china and tiny table silver with the usual hall-mark giving distinction. Mrs. Drury received her inspiration for this beautiful gift from | Queen Mary's doll house exhibited-in this country and she secured the same genius to perform the delicate work. Mrs. Tellez is the way in which the wife of the new dean of the diplomatic corps has her visiting cards engraved, and in this manner she is issuing invitations to the at homes which she is giving to the foreign contingent and to official and residential socler: Ambassador has on and, like other diplomats, when he visits or writes in the official sense, he is the Am- bassador from Mexico and minus any other designation. It is obvious that the State Department would welcome a greater uniformity of address in the exalted foreign circle, but quite punc- tiliously the designations preferred by the owners of the names is followed in get- | ting up the “diplomatic list” and in dispatching invitations to official func. In other capitals the usual form of address is used as in Rome, where all | are signors, signoras or signorinas, | unless some 'title of nobility embellishes the name of the diplomatist. In Paris, all are monsieur, madame or made moiselle, and so through the list of seats of government when foreign en- voys are resident. Turkish, Egyptian and Persian diplomats use mister by | preference, since bey and pasha are so | often incorrectly placed, while the | Japanese and Chinese prefer that no prefix whatever should be placed before their names. It always amused the genlal Wu Ting Fang when he was called “mister,” and his son, now serv- ing as envoy from his country has bridged the gulf by using the academic title of “doctor.” Havana, where more English is now heard than the tongue of the hidalgos, has adopted mister and mistrees entirely in its corps, and the Cubsn diplomats in Washington are i the same way. * x x % The late Ool. James Glennon, who | for_eight years in command at | 't Reed Hospital, will be remem- bered for a long time hence by the fine | plantings he made all through the | grounds in behalf of the invalld veter- ans. Always an ardent lover of flowers, Col. Glennon interested many horti- | ltural societies in making donations the grounds so that each of those invalids who were able to dig might have a patch of his own in which to cultivate what most appealed. Col. Glennon entertained the American Rose Society during its quadrennial meetings in Washington and the lovely sunken rose garden is the evidence of | how its members appreciated having | the opportunity to restore the injured overseas men to hezlth and a hopeful turn of mind. In addition to the Japa- nese rry trees which bloomed pro- y 5 season, the grounds of Walter Reed have been beautiful for weeks with the borders of vari-colored Japanese, and 1 around art are of a chern waxy, deep green leaves.

Having selected diplomacy a3 | a career, he has been plugging away at the law and economics in the celebrated | University of Utrecht and at special schools in Paris, Utrecht is one of the famous seats of learning in the world and its treaty signed by all the great powers of Europe in 1713 and_ which settled in the Spanish War of Succes- sion, is considered the opening chapter of diplomacy as a profession with lines as definitely fixed as law or medicine The new attache with his brother Rob- ert Dudley von Royen have been fre- quent visitors to his mother's native land since their childhood and they have spent nearly all academic vaca- tions in Washington, including Christmas, since their father became envoy from Queen Wilhelmina’s realm. The younger von Roven still is in college but soon will take up the higher studies at Ut- echt, though whether for a legal or diplomatic career is not yet determined. 'he young student soon will join his family in Washington and will make visits to his Winthrop and Taylor rela- | tives in Newport and along the North Shore. Mme. von Royen’s mother was Miss Kate Taylor, who as a belle and later as a social leader attained such fame some 30 years ago. * K ok % Hon. Patrick Ramsey, who recently was named British Minister in Athens, was at one time well known in San Fran- cisco, where his aunt and adopted mother, the former Miss Estelle Garri- son, had made her home and where she has many relatives. With his brothers, two of whom, twins, were killed in the first month of the World War, the diplomat was reared in the home of his paternal uncle, Charles Ramsay, his parents, the Earl and Countess of Tankerville having been lost in an ocean tragedy when all were in their 'teens. One of the brothers, Hon. Capt. Alexander Ramsay, R. N., mar- ried the beloved Princess Pat of Con- naught. She has laid aside the trap- pings of royalty and lives in Paris very simply in the rank of wife of the naval attache of the British embassy. Her brother is now royal governor of South Africa. Mrs. Charles Ramsay is one of the most revered of the many American women married into exalted circles in the United Kingdom. Her devotion to her husband’s orphaned nephews was proverbial. The present Earl of Tank- erville is the young son of Hon. Victor Ramsay who died in Flanders and he remains under the care of his uncle and aunt at the chief seat of the family in Sussex. The Garrison family originally from Massachusetts with the first mi- gration in New York is now strongly entrenched in California and especially about San Francisco. R The Japanese Ambassador, M. De- buchi, with his family paid their cus- tomary homage to the cheery blossoms during the recent riot of color along the tidal basin and on Potomac point. But they are all just as entranced over the flowering dogwood and seek out the isolated specimens which may be found on lawns in private grounds and in wild state in Rock Creek Park.

Spring, in every known variety, have been grouped in & grove and they ex- cite almost as much sdmiration from the flower-loving people of the Japanese capital as do the historic cherry blos- soms. Dogwood trees, bearing white, deep pink and red blooms, were first sent to Tokyo from a contingent of admirers at Harvard University. The Arnold arboretum, where the largest collection of these trees is on display, added appreciably to the gift and the dogwood tree is becoming enthustasti- cally admired all through the Island Empire. Why no grove has been planted about Washington and especially in Potomac Park has never been explained. Along the point leading to Hains terminal, that deep hardy border edg: ing the water now shaded by willows and nondescript shade trees, it would be ideal. ‘The dogwood has only a moderate growth and unfortunately is not long-lived and its blooms would add color to the border when the flow- ering occupants of the narrow space are rather meager. The impetus now apparent to plant dogwood on private estates should lead to its more fre- quent establishment in the parks of the Capital. it Mrs, Walter E. Edge dominates the portrait section of the Spring salon in Parls, and the picture done by Freder- ick Orr, the most promising pupil of Sargent’ and William Chase, has re- ceived one of the highest awards. The youthful and attractive wife of the Am- bessador to Paris is painted in the il- lusive ethereal fashion so much iden- tifled with Chase canvases and with a tulle scarf half veiling her shoulders, in the manner of Sargent. Gen. Dawes in portraiture has been in many exhibits in the past two years and his sartorial mood as thus displayed comes in_for much comment. In th vas by John Lander, s popular British artist living in the Isle of Jersey, the former Vice President clings to stripes, a whole sult of a rather wide sort, and his polka-dot necktie s loosely knotted and innocent of stick pin.

C, MAY lr)fllnlll who founded Great Britain's classis racing event—the Derby—who arrived on these shores within the past two weeks, has in mind a careful com- parison between the American event staged in Louisville, Ky, and that in England, or, in local terms, Churchill Downs versus Epsom Downs. The earl is a genial, rotund person, laughing easily and as approachable as plain Mr. Smith. He has not set foot on Ameri- can sofl for 40 yea He was in the train of the Toyal viceroy, the Marquis of Lorne, in Ottawa, and he journeyed to New York and the principal cities on the Atlantic seaboard and saw many exciting races at Saratoga. After re- turning from Canada, he entered the public service and has been one of the busiest politicians of his era as well as one of its renowned sportsmen. Al- though he is so keen on horses and all the sports in which this companion of chivalry is associated with his human friends, he is, like King George, totally opposéd to betting and has never ven- tured a shilling on the outcome of races. He is the first of his family to win ‘the Derby and that was in 1924 when his horse Sansovino came through before all competitors. Stanley is the family name of the Earls of Derby, famous in Scott's ballad of Marmion, “On, Stanley, On.” and he is the seven- teenth holder of the title, The Countess of Derby is the sister of the senior the aunt of the present duke who mar- ried Miss Helena Zimmerman of Cin- cinnatl.

Peru is the fourth of the members of the Pan- American Union to make such a signal contribution to the library in the cen- tral headquarters, the others being Chile, Guatemala and Panama. It is the plan of Dr. Rowe, director of the Union, and the librarian, Dr. Babcock, to place these official publications 'in the archives so that it will be possible to consult governmental sources in Washington when a visit to the repub- lics where they have originated is not possible. Besides all official documents and copies of venerable archives, the works of leading authors in the Latin countries will be placed for consulta- tion. Already Uruguay, although the government archives have not yet been contributed, has given nearly a hundred rare volumes of history, literature and folk lore. The library of the Pan- American Union, now in the course of erection, will be one of the most m- portant collections of books in the world, and for the student of Latin af- fairs in the Western World it will make Washington the mecca. It also will be of inestimable value to the candidates for entrance into the foreign service as well as for researchers into trade secrets and commercial opportunities. .

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 17.—Anton J. Cer- mak, chairman of the Cook County Democratic central committee, yester- day injected into the November elec- tion a movement for a Statewide refer- endum on prohibition. Cermak, Who is president of the board of county commissioners, said petitions would be circulated next week to obtain the 350,000 signatures necessary before the referendum can be placed on the ballot. While the exact wording has not been determined, Cermak said the proposition would be based upon the following questions: 1. Shall Con{reu pass a resolution for repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment? 2. Shall Congress repeal the Volstead act 3. Shall the Tllinois General Assembly repeal the State search and seizure act? Although both Republican and Demo- cratic leaders in Cook County were to have discussed recently the advisabil- ity of sponsoring the referendum, Cer- mak declared “the Democratic party is the wet party and as long as I am chairman of the county central commit- tee, there will be no pussyfooting on the et-dry question.” A FASHION INSTITUTION Paris Washington NewYork Start Summer W ardrobes Printed chiffon—not only one With of summer’s charms, but a leading fashion and one that’s par- ticularly flattering to women.
