Overseas Service League - Convenes Here This Summer For 20th National Parley Washington Unit Will Be Hostess To Women Who Served Abroad During World War Period By FRANCES LIDE, Women’s Club Editor. ‘Women who served in Europe, Asia and Africa during the World ‘War, or immediately after, will gather in Washington this summer during the 20th national convention of the Women’s Overseas Service League. Having held its 10th convention in Paris, the league chose the Nation’s Capital as the most suitable spot for its 20th national parley. Word has gone around that the women are anticipating their Washington visit with unusual interest and that attendance® probably will exceed that of any . Pprevious convention. Approximately 300 women are expected for the ses- sions, set for June 30-July 3. The Washington Unit, which will be hostess, is one of the most rep- resentative groups of woman veterans of the World War to be found in the country, and always has been one of the largest and most active branches in the league. Miss McClelland’s Election Gives Record to Local Post. Miss Ruth McClelland is the third national president to be elected from the local unit—a record no other group equals. Its membership, which varies from 125 to 150, is composed of women who participated in practically every kind of military and civilian work engendered by the war. With the nursing services of the Army and Navy, as civilian clerks, or as volunteers with the American Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A, the Y. W. C. A, the National Catholic War Council, the Jewish Welfare Board and various other welfare organizations, gium and Italy during and after the war; in neutral Switzerland, Den- mark and the Netherlands; in Germany with the Army of Occupation, and in Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Albania, Serbia, Rumania, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Russia and Siberia. One member alone was a nurse in Germany in 1915 and 1916, with the A.E. F. in France, Russia and Siberia from 1917 to 1919, and with the American Red Cross in Albania from 1919 to 1920. She received the Ger- man Red Cross Medal in 1916. This is Miss Barbara Sandmaier. womens Among the prominent whose names are found on the unit’s roster are: Mrs. Herbert Hoover, honorary president; Mrs. Robert ‘Woods Bliss, Miss Mabel T. Board- man, Mrs. Edwin G. Bowman, Maj. Julia Flicke and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers. Former mem- bers, no longer residing in Washing- ton, include Mrs. Larz Anderson, Mary Roberts Reinhart, Ruth Bryan Rohde and Mrs. Theodore Roose- wvelt, jr. Five Living Abroad Keep Local Membership. Among the members who retain membership in the Washington group are two women now residing in Japan, one in Hawaii, one in Alaska and one in Cuba. The Alaskan member and one from Japan are expected here for the convention. The unit’s program, in line with MRS. JAMES EARLE MILLER. —Edmonston Photo. national objectives, calls for co- operation with other veterans’ groups in assisting disabled men or women veterans. -It also includes co-operation with patriotic organ- izations working for adequate na- tional detense, and with civie groups seeking to inculcate a sense of in- dividual obligation to the com- munity. Miss Hazel B. NielSon, president rof the Washington Unit, is chairman of the Convention Committee, which includes two past national presi- dents, Miss Lena Hitchcock and Miss Faustine Dennis; Mrs. Fred Franke, a past national vice president; Mrs. ‘W. Wallace Chiswell, who preceded Miss Nielson as local president, and Miss Sadie Caughey and Mrs. Her- bert Crean, first and second vice presidents. Miss Nielson, whe was sent over- seas from South Dakota by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, served with the Y. M. C. A. in England and in France. Miss Hitchcock, program chair- man, served as a reconstruction aide with the Army Medical Corps, dJoing occupational therapy in the hospitals in France. Miss Dennis, who was in the Red Cross canteen service, and later at Trier, Germany, is in charge of gll arrangements for the convention and the corps area, service day and reunion lunch- eons, Mrs. Franke Worked Overseas with Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Franke, chairman of enter- tainment, went overseas with the Y. M. C. A. and worked in its can- teens in France. While at Bor- deaux she transferred to the Y. W. C. A. to care for “war brides” who had been concentrated at Genicart awaiting transportation to the United States. Miss Chiswell, hospitality chairman, served with the Red Cross, first in the Motor Corps at Paris, and later, in the canteen at Lyon. Mrs. Crean, who will be in charge of registration, information-and such convention details, was with the American Fund for French Wounded, but in June, 1917, was loaned to the Y. M. C. A. and later to the Red Cross. She was attached to the Marines of the 2d Division and was . stationed also at the 80th Division dressing station at Glorieux, between Forts Vaux and Douaumont in front of Verdun. 5 Miss Caroline Hendricks, creden- tials chairman; Mrs. John Waters, transportations chairman, and Miss Katharine McKiever, publicity chair- man, all served with the Red Cross in France. Miss Hendricks was at Red Cross headquarters in Paris and also stationed for a time at a can- teen in the Argonne. Mrs. Waters. a nurse’s aide, was stationed at Bor- deaux and Paris. Miss McKiever was attached to the hospital cen- ters at Nantes and Savenay and, later was transferred to the Graves Registration Service. M Miss Caughey, who is handling convention finances, was probably one of the most widely known mem- bers of the A. E. F.

Planning for the national convention of the Women’s Overseas Service League, to meet here next summer, a few members of the Washington unit met recently. Left to right are Miss. Ruth McClelland, national president; Miss Sadie Cooking Curiosity Brings Added Travel Adventures Mrs. James Earle Miller Fim;ls Excellent Food in Desert and Disappointment in Recipe Request By GRETCHEN SMITH. If she hadn't been interested in cooking and new recipes, Mrs. James Earle Miller of Silver Spring would have missed many delightful side trips into bizzare markets‘and strange kitchens during extensive travels into nearly every country of Europe Always interested in the cplinary art, Mrs. Miller majored in home | and the Near East. economics at Mary Baldwin College and Penn State College and after graduation taught for three years in<- high school in her girlhood home, Middletown, Pa. Last winter she substituted in one of the Washing- ton schools as a teacher of domestic science. Although she believes that Amer- ican methods are best, Mrs. Miller admits that modern kitchens and the various “cooking -made - easy short-cuts” of today are by no means necessary in the preparation of a deliclous meal. Far out in the desert near Bag- dad, she said, she enjoyed a repast, prepared by native Bedouin women, as delectable as she ever enjoyed in the famous restaurants of Paris or Vienna, both of which she knew well before war days restricted their menus. “We were served a meal consist- ing of chicken, squash, rice and bread,” she recalled. “The food was | cooked in iron kettles over brush | fires, the chicken fried in deep, boiling olive oil. The squash was boiled, much as we prepare it here, chopped after cooking, with only salt for seasoning. The bread was made from unleavened dough and was baked in flat cakes inside hot earthen pots. Although they use no seasoning except salt, the food was excellent, thoroughly cooked and palatable. “Of course,” she added, “a good appetite and our novel surroundings helped us to enjoy the meal.” A Different Story At the Police Station. A good appetite was not sufficient, she admitted, to induce her and her companions to accept the hos- pitality offered by members of a police station on the road to Jerash in the Trans-Jordan country near the site of ancient Philadelphia. “We were quite hungry,” she re- lated, “when we reached the police station, where we were invited to join in the group enjoying a savory smelling lamb stew. The men were seated on the floor around the dish, dipping their fingers into the food with no thought of fork or nesday, 8 p.m. Hospitality Com- mittee sponsoring benefit moving picture program.

I'm afraid my appetite was not strong enough to permit me to accept their hospitality,” she said. “We did enjoy some tea, even though there were but two glasses for the entire company. As it was | steaming hot, I thought it would be germ proof. We could not refuse everything.” Mrs. Miller says she enjoyed the people and the places in the Holy Land and the Near East more than she did their foods, the majority of which are prepared in oil. One of her keenest regrets, she said, was her inability to secure the recipe of a chocolate cake en- joyed in the once-famous Sachers tearoom of Vienna. “It was the most delicious cake I have ever eaten,” she explained, “and I begged the proprietor to give me the recipe. It was refused and when I later tasted the cake in a shop in Czechoslovakia, I was again told it was against the policy of the shop to give their recipes. I often wondered,” she remarked, “if that cake recipe will be lost during this war.” her last visit abroad, Mrs. Miller visited Palestine and the Holy Land where she marveled at the accomplishments of the Jews in Tel- Aviv. Fashion Garden Spot Out of a Desert. “They have made a garden spot out of the desert,” she said, “and are growing delicious fruits and vegetables from arid lands which | the Arabs had abandoned.” In addition to her recipes, Mrs. Miller has brought back many sou- venirs from the countries she visited. She collected several interesting pieces of Oriental jewelry in Egypt and in Jerusalem, and one of her “show” pieces is a bead necklace which was found in an ancient Egyptian tomb in the Valley of the Queens, - declared by archeologists, she says, to date to the period 1400 B.C.
