C., May 1.—It's been “Woman's week” in Washington, mere man being in a deplorably small minor- ity both as to prestige and numbers. Not only did the thousands of women attending the conventlon of the League of Women Voters in Baltimore, come here but thelr number was augmented by other societies and organizations of women who selected this time and piace for meetings or excursions. As a re- sult the congress of the United States took on the air of a woman's congress. Looking down from the press gallery Friday noon over the assembled genate one saw a scattering of senators on the floor and & sprinkling of men in the gal- leries but the predominent tone was wo- man. Dressed in the gayest of spring togs, wearing hats that suggested the old son, “She Wore g Little Bonnet. With a Flower Garden On It women of all ages and representing all sections of the country filled the galleries to over- flowing, without seeming to lessen the crowds of womer who swarmed the cor- ridors of the capitol, visiting their sen- ators and representatives and present- ing to them the views of the league on many measures now before congress. “We want you to supgort” was more oft- ener heard than any other five words, and the senators and represemtatives bowed politely, listened attentively and then took the fair visitors to luncheon down in the big Testaurants in the ca- itol. The Commecticut delegation to the League convention was entertained by several of the delegation from that state, cither at dinner or lunch. And in the afternoon the committee room of Senator McLean was the scene of a gathering of all the congressional delegation and the women visitors from the Nutmeg state. The ladies urged the delegation to vote for the Curtis-Rogers citizenship bill which regulates the citizenship of American women who marry foreigners and of foreign women who marry United States citizens. They sald it was unfair to American women to make them lose citizenship if they married a foreigner and it was not fair to let foreign women who marry Americans become voters in this country without the same restrictions and con- ditions unmarried women coming to the United States must conform to. The committee room of Senator McLean was selected for the informal reception be- cause of its great sige. Mr. McLean is chairman of the banking and currency committee, which occupies one of the largest suites in the semate office build- ing, and which is very attractively dec- orated and adequately equipped for such occasions. Senators Brandegee and Mc- Lean together with the representatives from Connecticut received the visiting ladies, provided them with seats in the galleries of the senate and house and extended many other courtesies. The conferees of senate and house have agreed on two matters of great interest to the New Hngland states, which were introduced as amendments in the semate to the house agricultural appropriation bill. They are for the appropriation of $450,000 for continua- tion of the terms of the Weeks forestry act, for which the house bill made no provision, ad $200,000 for fighting the ‘white pine blinster rust. Both these amendments were fathered by the New England delegation. Senate and house leaders predict con- gress wil adjourn some time in the month of June. The house has prac- its work and will take a series of three day recesses beginning early in May, on a gentleman's agree- ment that no business which has oppo- sition will be presented to the house dur- ing that period. The senate expects to hurry up the tariff bill so it Is said, and get that through by eatly June, although there are still whisperings to the effect that if the passage of the tariff bill is unduly delayed it will go over on ex- tension of the emergency tariff act, till the December session rather than clut- ter up the country with a mass of new legislation on the eve of an election, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Daylight Saving. Mr. Editor: As I have been a reader of The Bulletin over sixty years, I would like to say a word in regard to day- light saving. Now we will say you put your time ahead one hour. My clack is stopped. Don't I have just as much day- light as you do? Now if tke present congress don't take action on the mat- ter and bury it so deep that it will never be heard from agaln we will see what a_democratic congress will do. The Bible says in the beginning, God said, “Let there be light and there was light.” Nothing to do with the present daylight, I think. JAMES C. JENNINGS. West Willington, Conn., May 1, 1922. IN THE PUBLIC EYE Dr. William Bowie, who heads the delegation of American sclentists attend- ing the meeting of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics and the International Research Council, which assembles today in Rome, is Chief of the Division of Geodesy of the Unit- ed States Coast and Geodetic Survey, Dr. Bowie has an international train- ing at Trinity college, Hartford, Conn., and at Lehigh university, and after com- pleting his studies, in 1895, entered the service of the United States Coast Geo- detic Survey as an’ assistant. For many years he was engaged in field work, mak- ing coast or geodetic surveys in many states, and in Porto Rico, the Philip- pines and Alaska. On several previous occasions he has been sent abroad by the government to attend international conferences dealing with the branches of science of which he has made a spe- cial study. FAMOUS MEN. HENRIK IBSEN, Henrik Ibsen, the Shakespeare of Nor- way, was 52 years of age before his real caveer as a dramatist began. He ‘wrote his first play when he was twenty- one and after drifting into the profes- sion of medicine and back into that of a playwright he obtained the manage- ment of the state theater at Christiana. This proved an unsuccessful venture, however. Ibsen then again turned his attention in other directions, and for ten years voluntarily exiled himself from his na- tive country. He returned to Christiania in 1874 and again took fo the drama, and it was thereafter that his greatest successes were produced. “The, Doll's House,” in 1879 when he was 60 years of age; “Ghosts” in 1881; “The Wild Duck,” in -1884; “Hedda Gabler,” in 1890 ;" “The Masterbullder,” in 1392; “Little E in 1894; “John Gabriel in 1896 and “When We Dead in 1899, The last written Awaken,” when he was 71 years of age. He died in 1906, In the spring of 1898, on his seventieth birthday Thsen was presented by his English-speaking adherents with a large silver’ goblet, which was piaced by the dramatist in a place of honor In his house. At this time he entertained se- riously the idea of writing an account of the circumstances of his life and the state of thought and feeling out of which each of his plays was born, in order to “Mother, I do wish you wouldn't pleic up after Wiliiam,” sald young Mrs. Lar- kin, “I haven't accustomed him to it, ever, and T don't want to egin.” “Yes, dear,” sald Mrs. Larkin, “You do, mother, every time you visit us or we vigit you. It's no use trying to hide that pipe you've just brought in from the side ‘door step, dear, or that mecktle you've collected from the pergola hammoek— where it had lain for several days. I can seg both of them plainly, I saw them where they were, if you must kndw, but I simply wouldn't bring them in!” “A good wife,” began her mother re- provingly, “should—-" “She should see that her good hus- band’s clothing, personal effects and gen- eral belongings are in as good order as possible,” interrupted Mrs, Larkin, “but she should not make a baby and a bad citizen of a man just because she loves him. That's what so many wives do in the beginning, and I'm sure it causes a lot of trouble later. I love William quite as much as you've ever loved daddy, but I love him in a different manner. ' And I'm not going to spoil him simply be- cause he’s the dearest man alive!” “I don't believe in spoiling men either, Marcia,” Mrs, Larkin's mother made dig-| nified answer, “I never did believe in wives spoiling their husbands. I have never spoiled your father and I have no slightest desire to spoil William, fond as I am of him. As I say, I have never be- lieved in wives spoiiing their husbands. But when a man has toiled all dav in such a nerve-racking place as downtown Chicago he needs a little peace and com- fort at home.” “He does,” Mrs Larkin made ready admission, “He needs it sorely. That's why I'm training him to help keep his home peaceful and comfortable. ‘One keep neat is better than twenty make neats,” as you used to tell me when I was an untidy little girl. “I'm just as good and devoted a wife as you are, mother,” she continued. “I see to it that all William’s clothes are put in good order when they come from the Jaundry; I see that the things that need to be cleaned and pressed are duly attended to; I put his bureau drawers in order again and again. I'm willing to make every reasonable allowance for the fact that he's a busy and often a hurried Fa M Nery well, my dear” sald Mrs. Lar- kin's mother. “Of course it's your busi- ness, Willam s your husband, not mine,” her mother made still more digni- fied answer. “I should be sorry to cause any trouble. Il put these things back just exactly where I found them, if you feel that way.” 3 Mrs, Larkin felt rather unhappy. but she stood to her guns as she assured her- Self that her mother had kept her word in the matter of the pipe and the neck-| tle. She really wanted her dear William to have the discipline of hunting for them a little, % ‘Wheretore she was a little disappoint- ed, as the days went by, to hear no hue and cry about the missing articles. Not- ing that they were no longer where they had lain ghe decided that William had begun to see the light. g ust before the conclusion of her moth- visit ghe noticed that William was wearing the secretly salvaged nmecktie, A Nttle later the rescued pipe was in evi- dence. Nothinz was said at the moment, but next morning Mrs. Larkin could not forezo erowing a little. “Yoy see, mother, dear,” she remarked casually, when the talk, as usual, had turned upon William, “you see that my policy. s the right one. If T once began to pick up after William I'd have my life ocoupation cut out for me, and T'd be harming him. into the bargain. As it is T'm helping to make him a good husband and properly independent. Tt ruins a man's moral fiber mot to allow him to wait upon himself. “I know they ‘say So nowadays” Te- joined her mother, meekly, “and T'm quite ready to admit that William is a Rood citizen and a good husband. But T still believe in taking care of a good husband a little, petting him, too, it you like to put it that way. And as to in- eisting that @ man wait on himself, T be- lieve that American husbands do quite enough of that, anyway. They're entl- tled to a little attention from their wives. even in these strange present days. And T've never notlced that William is spoil- ed by any little kindness or assistance. In fact, he's one of the most grateful and appreciative men T ever knew.” “Mother!” onied Mrs. Larkin. a great light breaking in upon her. “Mother, T verily believe you put away William's pipe and necktie for him! That's Why Fve heard mothing about them and why you've bee ngoing around looking like a Det pussy fed on cream.” “Well, Mareia,” twinkled Mrs. Lar- Kin's mother, her face aglow with quiet satisfaction, “since you've found me_out 1 suppose I may as well admit it. Wil- liam came home so tired one night that I was very sorry for him. I went out and got the pipe and necktie and handed them to him. He was so delighted. He told me.” with a flush of pleased recollec- tion, “that I was almost as nice as you Iare, e said,” the flush deepening. “that I was a darned good old scout!”—Chica- go News. - display the steady and consistent de-] handtes and cover the handles with other velopment of his ideas. This was not a new idea with him, Dbut fortunately as before, he set aside the intention and turned to brooding up- on a new drama. He spent this year brooding over the scheme of his new play, but tpe Christmas of 1898 came and went with no drama from his hand. The old lion was failing. The hand and will were becoming enfeebled ; the clock- like habits runming down. It was the last Christmas of the nineteenth cen- tury before he gave his next play to the world, and it bore the ominous ti- tle, “When We Dead Awaken.” In this same year on the first night of September, Ibsen and Bjorsen sat side Dby side, honored by the whole nation, at the opening of the National Theatre— the creators of g drama that had gome forth across the face™ of the Whole world. In his seventy-fourth year Ibsen col- lected his “Works.” Soon afterwards he was forbidden any brain work. In his seventy-sixth year appeared his “Cor- respondence ;” but when it was ‘brought out he was uneonscious of the pleasure it afforded for he suffered an apopleptic selzure, He slowly recovered only to be stricken a second time. Seizure after seizure wore him down, but he continued to write a couple of hours a day, until at last his pen fell from his hand. When he dled on May 23, 1906, he was buried in state by the nation.

Child Training at Home May Baskets By Martina Gardner Owen Fred’s aunt, who was a kindergarten teacher, had given him a pair of round- pointed scissors for his fourth birthday. She had also prevented possible trouble by explaining that the scissors must never never cut anything unless mother had first told him that they might. Now Fred was demanding: “What may I cut, mother?” For a moment mother was puzzled. He hadn’t mastered the use of scissors sufficlently to cut out pictures. He could just make straight slashes. “How would you like to make May baskets?” mother asked at last. “Oh, goody! May 1?” he returned, clapoing his hands. “Yes, indesd,” mother as- sured him. as she dived into the drawer that held her haphazard collection of odds and ends. “See, here are some small boxes, all empty. Raisin boxes, cereal boxes and cookles xes. And here is some pretty paper. The pink is nicest. It was left over when I (put fresh papers on the pantry shelf. Il cut stri>s to go around the boses.

While you are cutting think about the playmates to whom you wish to give them. while they are being finished.” Mother returned to her baking with a clear conscience. Son was learning the Joy of the Job Well Done. He was gain- ing control of the muscles of his chubby little hands. And soon there would a talk which wounld stimulate the habit of Taking Thought for Others. Certain- Iy that was sufficient interest for the in- vestment of ten morning minutes. Stories That Recall Others She Had the “What Goes With.” A friend in the country, has prom- ised to send her little son a lamb. The Problem of what to do With the famous playmate of Mary when it arrived puz- zled the entire family. One afternoon a friend—one of those talented Women who is an adept at solving puzzles quickly— was approached on the subject. “A friend of ours has proposed to send little Billy a lamb,” Billy's mother went on to explain. “As you know, we live in an apartment, and—well, what . in the world shall we put it in?” “In the oven, my dear,” the talented triend Teplied instantly. “In the oven, of course. We have the mint.” Buying Hais. Nell had bought a particularly fetch- ing hat and when she showed it to her two friends they both decided if Nells perfect milliner had such chapeaux for sale they might do worse than buy one for themselves. Arriving at the milliner's, they ex- pressed a wish to see some hats, and she brought out a stunning creation. -The potential buyers went into ecstacies. Did madame have another something like it, so0 they might both be satisfied? No, madame, did mot. So, graciously, they both passed up the hat, each resolved that she would not take it, since the oth- er wished it. Then another hat came forth. It was a beauty! They both liked it better than the first. So, When each saw the second hat there was no longer any interest in the first. Another hat came forth. It was @ dream! Ah, with such a hat unattached elther of the two friends would be mightily well satisfied to have it. But they both thought the same, and neith- er would be forward enough to take what her friend wished. In vain the milliner and friend Nell argued that since only one could have the hat, at least one of them should We'll talk it over digestion —and cleans a coated tongue ‘Thousands of men and women have found relief from various digestive disturbances by eating Fleischmann’s Yeast.
