Dr. Synek is Editor in Chief of the Telegrdf Ceskeslovo one of the most important political daily organs of his country. Besides being a journalist, whose political integrity goes unquestioned, the Doctor has written no less than five novels and 14 plays. While in America he is deeply interested in our many new governmental reforms; sit-down strikes, and last but not least the American woman!! For the last year the “Telegraf Ceskeslovo” has edited a woman’s page, an innovation in Europe. He is a great admirer of our press, “which has such general knowledge to offer, as well as courage enough to put Mary Pickford’s marriage on the front page!” The study of our women is not without compensation, as he feels at ease to admire more freely the lovely women so smartly dressed, that throng our streets. The question that lurks in the Doctor’s mind is “Where do these women find the time to keep themselves and their house in order, and still have time for sports and pleasure? Of course, they can’t all afford servants!!” The answer to this great problem, is one which the average American husband could answer with the suggestion that the Doctor pay a visit to an American grocery store and pause to glance over the rows and rows of canned Joods! There he will learn that from the crisp fried shoe- stnngémtato. the pride of the French chef, to the deliciously roasted chicken, are put up by our great American canneries! * K ok x ONDAY evening the Chinese Ambassador, Dr. Chengting T. Wang, entertained in the gold ball room of the Shoreham in honor of the Minister of Finance and Vice President of the execu- tive Yuam of the Republic of China, Dr. H. H. Kung. Of course, the occasion called for all the formality and dress, which during the warmer Washington weather causes the masculine element no end of discomfort. Yesterday we heard a story of an important official of the State De: artment, who after burrowing in camphor and moth balls for his “tails,” hailed a taxi and headed for his excellency’s dinner. Greatly bothered by the scent that hung around him in the humid night air, he stepped into the cab in a state of semi-swelter and tried to fan away the persistent camphor odor. As they started the cab driver gave him a backward lance and our official friend remarked about the ertreme eat. “Ya,” said the driver in a most sympathetic tone. “I'm sure glad I don’t have to wait on no tables. Ye must simply boin up in them suits!” And because there just didn’t seem to be any suitable come- back our passenger, usually quite the master of those “embar- rassing moments,” sat in complete silence for the rest of the ride! . leent § Chlnese Ambassador sentatives Sol Bloom, the chairman Gives Garden Party | Federal Reserve System, Mr. Marriner . | S.
