The fifteenth biennial convention of the general convention of the Federation of Women's Clubs is in session now at Des Moines, la. Many hundred delegates representing 2,500.000 clubwomen are present, and they will stay in session discussing important civic issues for a week. No partisan alignment on divisive issues will be permitted; but free discussion of the most vital of our domestic probftrms will be encouraged. Leading national pnd State officials, social service experts, and able women within and without the club circle will share in the process of education. Adjournment Will find a considerable number of voters in the coming elections better prepared to vote intelligently than when they left home. They not on y *>rin vote as conscientiously but also as intelligently as their husbands, 'brothers and sons. The International Woman's Suffrage Alliance recently has been in Session in Geneva, Switzerland, dealing with the most vital issues facing women who, to loyalty to the political welfare of their sex. add a profound interest in a better world-order in a law-governed world. The alliance has not allowed the passions and enmities following the war to narrow its tests of membership or to becloud its moral ideals. Though women suffer most from war horrors and post-war poverty and disease they have shown by their conduct at this conference that they more quickly than men rise again to the altitude of goodwill, and sooner than the male fighters begin to think with an "international mind." These two conferences are symbols of new facts in contemporary politics that begin to be reflected in the platforms of the historic parties Jmd especially so in the programs or platforms of the newer and inchoate parties that are looming up on the horizon. The Republican party's platform adopted last week at Chicago bears, visible signs of the pressure upon the leaders and platform makers of the National League of Women Voter s demands in their'woman s platform so carefully framed and so finely balanced in its groupings of facts and arguments. The league is not wholly pleased with the d^eeto which it was obeled; but it certainly got more than ever was conceded before. Later conventions of other parties may concede more. Upon the final » «he last partv to assemble and a comparative study of all the platforms many women will determine their votes. They are bent on protecting promen and children. For that end they will dedicate their votes. The State of the Payrolls. The wholesale resignations from the government service scheduled to reach their peak on July I. are essential in order to make payrolls $t appropriations and in the evolution from a war-time to a peacetime basis. ,. Since the signing oi the armistice there have been .21,5.23 dismissals from the service, and when the figures up to July 1 arc finally computed the number dropped is expected to reach closc to 40.000. [Washington on April 30 of the present year had cxactly 96.337 rcdera1 employes, and with the payrolls once more on a normal basis Jhe figures are expected to be well below 75.000. Before the war there were 3^77 Federal employes, so that in round numbers the civilian force has been practically doubled by the agencies created by the war which must continue until the period of complete adjustment has been reached. \ tendency to dwell upon inflated payrolls and to call for a return to pre-war figures of employment by some misguided students of economy fails to consider that there are certain government functions left as a war sequel which must be continued, and they involve the services of thousands of employes. I The War Risk Insurance Bureau and the Federal Vocational Branch are but two of a number of such services which must continue indefinitely. It is possible to conceive the wave of protest which would sweep the nation over any neglect of the wounded soldiers or inattention and delays which wholesale discharge would involve. There was no Eighteenth amendment or Volstead law before the war, nor the collection of income taxes such a stupendous task. The enforcement of the law and the collection of these vast sums require a vast armv of employes not necessary in 1917- These all come under the Treasury Department, and partly account for the increase from 8,285 of pre-war days to the personnel of 3'>^ *' present. The Liberty Bond Bureau is another necessary service which accounts for hundreds of employes, and the taking and tabulating of the 19.20 census swells the rolls of the Commerce Department by thousands. It can thus be seen by a very simple analysis that the pre-war figures, which many set as a goal for the government to once more attain, do not allow for the normal growth of Federal activities and seemingly disregard the after-war services which must be continued and which involve the employment of thousands. The worst handicap the McAdoo campaign has yet encountered is the fact that the Wall Street gamblers favor him in the betting. Only a week ago they favored Wood and Johnson. Over in Europe they're beginning to say that the league of nations won't amount to much if America isn't in it. Over here both pros and cons have known it for a long time. Women as a rule don't like to play second fiddle, and yet they'd be very happy with the Vice Presidency if the Democrats really want to get rid of it. Boston, as she lands in seventh place by the census figures, will probably retort that while figures don't lie those that make them frequently do. So Mr. McAdoo won't accept the Democratic nomination. Better iy)t bet your last two pounds of sugar on this statement if you're short of sugar. . . M * ' , if a certain well-known brand of soap should jump in price, now or in the immediate future, what a merry time confronts one unsuccessful campaign manager. Reading President Wilson's latest interview the belief prevails he'» following Gen. Grant's advice to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer. ^There's no disputing that all the Democrats' comfortably bound for San Francisco favored at least one kind of reservations.

The old clothing placard "Take me home for 1122.60" has been dusted off ana hangs out front on the suit that was selling for $7S a few weeks ago. And those sprightly young men of .the Rlalto who are connected with the best families.by telephone .find that they can dress In all their pre-war glamour, for the PullMe-In shops near 4he Pennsylvania depot on Seventh avenue are disposing of nifty made-over seconohand clothes for »7 each. And so the young blades may have a suit for every day In the week. It was rough picking for them when even a hand-me-down second hand suit sold for )35 for It was their "front" that permitted them to pose as young swells around the hotel lobbies and cabarets cadging drinks and making small flying touches. Now they may strut and affoct the English drawl with the same old abandon. Several of the big cafes have ctiv down prices slightly but hardly enough to notice. The best news com-» from »h< Bowery where Beefsteak John has restored the 15-eent dinner.steak, potatoes, coffee and a vegetable. When the Kaiser went loco he had to charge 25 cents and It was a serious blow to the human driftwood that looked forward to at least one good meal a week at his sawdust carpeted culinary palace. A new retail candy store just oTT Fifth avenue opened with a bang several days ago and announced old before-the-war prices. It put quite a crimp In the Fifth avenue shops that are charging 11.75 a pound for almost every kind of candy. Silk shirts in many of the best shops are marked down to $4.50 and the tailor-made shirts are now being sold for $15. whereas they formerly sold as high as $32.50. Most all of us will sympathixe with Ed. Wynn, the comedian, who complains that the laundries do not clean his collars anymore "They sharpen them." he says Gradually all of the New York hotels are lifting the ban on dogs. It used to be that all of them permitted dogs, if not in the rooms in kennels in the basement. Then an English concern came along and built an exclusive hotel and they literally retailed exclustveness One thing they refused to permit was a clog. Several other hotels have scientific kennels and those who haven't kennels are permitting dogs of all kinds. But they are making a charge of $1 a day. And What is that to a man who loves his dog? Some way or other the bobbed hair prejudice Is disappearing It is true that the big department stores will not employ girls who bob their hair and this in spite of the fact they employ floor walkers with balfl heads and Van Dyke beards.but It seems bobbed hair has come to stay. Greenwich Village put a stigma on the fashion at first. At one of the last nights of grand opera a music critic counted ten women in private boxes who had bobbed hair. At the race*, smart cafes and theater they are frequently seen. Many of them are married women who have found it is the only way they can keep their hair and still others find it the most becoming way for them. One of the society journals tells of a matron past 60 who recently appeared at a social function with her silver hair bobbed. That Is perhaps going too far. WEATHER VERDICTS. The weather man dispenses bunk. his daily prophesies are punk: there is no merit in his song, for he predicts the weather wrong. This morn he gave the verdict "Clear." and claimed no cloudy days were near. 1 took this verdict as my guide and came home soaked unto the hide. "No rain today." so runs his line."Tomorrow clear and full of shine".but let me trust his weatherbill.and down the rain begins to spill. Or If his verdicts call for floods. 1 doll me up in storm-proof duds and e'er I'm fairly on my way there breaks a hot and shining day. I cannot trust the weather man. he fails me every time he can; In weather bad or weather mild, his prophesies are always wild. ' N. A. Lt'FBURROW. (Copyrl^tt. 1020. by The McClore Syndicate.) ~ ' Shrinking Gowns Bring Symphony Of Protest Here Catholic women of Washington endorse the stand taken by Father Antoine. of St. Louis Cathedral, in New Orleans, who recently ordered a bride away from the altar to put on a gown more in accordance with his ideas of modesty. Although leaders of Catholic women's organizations in tWs city claim they have had little trouble with girls under their direct charge in the matter of immodest dress, they have been shocked by feminine attire seen on Washington streets. "I certainly am In accord with the action taken by Father Antoine." said Miss L». C. Flavin, director of the Calvert Club. "While our own girls have been very modest in their dress something should be done about tome of the extreme styles we jee elsewhere. 1 believe business men who employ such girls are as much to blame as the girls themselves. "If they insisted that girls dress modestly there would be less trouble." Miss Cox. director of the Maura Club. 2408 K street, said: "Some jf the extreme styles seen on the streets shock other modest jlrls." The I^adies of the Sacred Heart, national sponsors of the Children of Mary.' the sodality al girls and young women in all parishes of the country, have issued a stringent rule regulating both the length of the skirt and the height of the bodice in girls' dresses.

Senator Henry K. Ashurst, of Arizona, has left the hospital following a minor operation and hopes within a short time to leave Washington for a summer of'recuperation.

We believe that such an international association must be based upon international justice. and must provide methods which shall maintain the rule of public right by development of law and the decision of Impartial courts. and which shall secure instant and General international conference whenever peace shall be threatened by political action, so that the nations pledged to do and insist upon what is just and fair may exercise their influence and power for the prevention of war. We believe that all this can be done without the compromise of national independence, without depriving the people of tne United States in advance of the right to determine for themselves what Is Just and fair, when the occasion arises, and without Involving them as participants and not as peacemakers in a multitude or quarrels, the merits of which they are unable to judge. "The covenant, signed by the President at Paris failed signally to accomplish this purpose, and contained stipulations not only Intolerable for an Independent peop e. but certain to produce the injustice, hostility and controversy among nations which it proposed to prevent. "That covenant repudiated to a degree wholly unnecessary and unjustifiable, the time-honored policy in favor of peace declared by Virginia Democratic F Indors "The Democratic party ot Virginia favors a league of nations as the surest. If not only, practicable means of maintaining the permanent peace of the world and terminating the insufferable burden of great military and naval establishments. It was for this that Atnerica broke away from traditional Isolation and spent her blood and treasure to crush a colossal .scheme of conquest. We not only congratulate the President on the vision manifested and the vigor exhibited In the prosecution of the war, but we felicitate him and his associates on the exceptional achievement at Paris Involved In the adoption of a league and treaty so near akin to American Ideals, and so intimately related to the aspirations of civilised peoples everywhere.

Mr. 8cobey is at present In Washington, and with R. B. Creager is a guest at the home of the Republican candidate. Mr. Scobey and Mr. Harding have been close friends for many years. The former Is spending a good part of Ids time while in Washington at the office of Mr. Harding. The two are frequently seen together after Mr. Harding has brought his day's work In the Capitol to an end. I F. W. W.

That does not provide for recognition of the Irish republic, but for sympathy with the "aspirations of Irish people" as expressed at their elections. The same rose under a sweeter smelling name.

"The unfortunate lnrlstence of the President upon having his own way without any change, and without any regard to the opinion of the majority of the Senate which shares with him in the treaty making power, and ttv> President's demand that the treaty should be ratified without any modification, created a situation In which Senators were required to vote upon their consciences and their oaths according to their judgment upon the treaty as it was presented, or submit to thf commands of a dictator in a matter where the authority under the Constitution was theirs and not his. "The Senators retformed their duty faithfully.

In conference with this group. Mr. mltteeman from that State. Mr. William* went to the convention as one of the supporter* of Senator Hiram W. Johnson, of California. Mr. Hamon supported Mr. Ix»wden at the convention, after falling out with the campaign for Gen. Leonard Wood. Mr. Hillls was one of the active supporters of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. Harding probably will choose the executive committee co-operate with Mr. Hays In the administration of the campaign. Mr. Hording conferred at length yesterday morning with George H. Clark, chairman of the Republican State advisory committee, relative to political matters In Ohio. Mr. Clark was afterward questioned as to what ^attitude would be taken toward Hud K. Hynicka. chairman of the Hamilton County advisory committee, for his failure to support his Instructions to support Mr. Harding at the Chicago convention. "I think that those two votes at Chicago were a political debt-paying proposition." Mr. Clark said, explaining Mr. Hynickas votes for Gen. Wood. "Col. Procter had saved Mr Hynicka the position as chairman of the Hamilton County advisory committee several years. He was asking Mr. Hynicka for something in return Mr. Hynicka never forgets a friend." Hrandegee A gala Caller. Senator Frank B. Brandegee. of Connecticut, was again among Mr. Harding's callers yesterday, but the nature of their conference was not divulged. Representative Addison T.

"The Republican nominee." de- clared John Barrett, director gen- eral of the Pan American Union, fol- lowing a conference with Mr. Hard- ing. "stands for practical Pan Amer- j icanlsm. Senator Harding's idea of Pan Americanism is of the sort that will be of benefit to every l.atinAmerican country and individual Just as much as the United States." Franklin MacVeagh. former Secretary of the Treasury, sent the following message to Mr. Harding yesterday: "Please accept the hearty and loyal good wishes of a beaten Wood man. My acquaintance with you. that I regret is not greater, and the things 1 know about you give me a personal Interest in your success which added to a keen sense of the importance of a Republican victory makes me very anxious for your election. Predicts Harding Success. "My guess is that inur attitude in the campaign.from the beginning. will show that progressives of the Wood stripe are easily included in >our political sympathies; and that as a candidate.and subsequently as President.you will stand as a pro- gressivc conservative, which is as near as need be to the resultant of the opposing tendencies of the party. And with that impression made upon the public mind, and aided by your fortunate personal advantages, you will surely succeed." John C. Price, attorney general of Ohio, expressed confidence in Mr. Harding's election in a letter to him, and pledged his support. Helen Varick Boswell, chairman of the women's division. Republican County committee of New York, sent the j following message to Mr. Harding; "The women of New York con- ! gratulate the party and congratu- late you on your nomination for the Presidency. As one of the two worn- en delegates from the State of New York 1 had the satisfaction of actually voting for you. and in doing this, know that I was representing many thousands of women who are delighted that Ohio is again to give a President to the United States.

Alexander yesterday formally approved the plan of the Summer School of Foreign and Pan American Commerce to conduct a "Plattsburg" for business men in Washington from July IS to August 21. "The U. S.

Town planning is forging ahead in this country faster than most persons realize who have not kept run of events. Moreover, it is un- der way in sections of the country! where its ardent advocates in the general population are few in number. Thus In Dawson, Colo., on the broad bottom lands and surrounding bluffs of the fertile Yampa Hiver Valley a model citj^ is to arise 200 miles from Denver. Farming; and coal mining, fruit raising and stock ranching are the main sources of income of the people. Impulse for this future "planned town" comes from men who have invested in the mines and who do not want a typical "industrial community" such as is found in the Kast or in England to arise. The town is to be zoned from the beginning into residential, business, industrial and agricultural areas. Streets are to be laid out with all the topograph- ickl variations of the site in mind. Paiks. of course, are a natural feature of the progressive plan. The miners' and other residents' homes are to be standardized. The expert who is co-operating with these new type of industrial town builders is John Nolen, whose work is scat- tered from the Atlantic to the Pa- < iflc and from Massachusetts to North Carolina. His books on town planning are sold widely. Bishop Charles D. Williams, of Michigan, who is prominent in the counsels of the "Coram ttee of j Forty-Eight" that is planning to put a third party ticket in the field.! is the leader of the progressive "social Christianity" element of the Protestant Episcopal Church and a man of large calibre and much -in favor as a preacher to university audiences. He is not as radical as Rev. Percy Grant of the Church of' the Ascension, New York City, but he is out on the "firing line" of j ecclesiastical, political and social reform. Mr. Frederick Morgan Klrby. of Wilkesbarre, Pa., has given $100,<000 to Lafayette College. Easton. Pa., to found a chair of civil rights. The instruction must be on "absolute rights." The fallacies of socialism and kindred theories. I abhorrent to the donor, must be refuted so as to aid in conserving1 "individual energy and thrift." The college has accepted the gift. Now the selection of the man to fill the chair falls upon the trustees. "Absolutists" are not as common nowadays as pragmatists. Ellery Sedgwick, the esteemed editor of our esteemed contemporary. the Atlantic Monthly, having been taken to task by some of his readers for publishing articles by Russian and German authors dealing with contemporary events in a way quite different from the editorials of the Boston Transcript, lets these complainants know that he is not running a chauvinistic American monthly, but an interna- ' tionally-minded review. This is not the first shock that Mr. Sedg-* wick has given the conservative readers of the Atlantic. He personally has praised Bryan and Wilson; he has admitted Giovanitti's poetry; and he has a keen scent for auto- biographical material showing how the plain folks of the nation live, residents of the ghettos, school teachers in Western mountain regions, and day laborers in shipyards and stockyards. Wallace W. Atwood. who succeeds G. Stanley Hall as president of Clark University. Worcester, is well known in Washington scientific circles owing to his twenty years' connection with the United States Geologic Survey, which brought him to the survey's headquarters for longer or shorter stays.

SATURDAY, JUNE 19. 1920.

Women and the State.The fifteenth biennial convention of the general convention of the

Federation of Women's Clubs is in session now at Des Moines, la. Manyhundred delegates representing 2,500.000 clubwomen are present, and theywill stay in session discussing important civic issues for a week. No partisanalignment on divisive issues will be permitted; but free discussion of themost vital of our domestic probftrms will be encouraged. Leading nationalpnd State officials, social service experts, and able women within and withoutthe club circle will share in the process of education. AdjournmentWill find a considerable number of voters in the coming elections betterprepared to vote intelligently than when they left home. They not on y*>rin vote as conscientiously but also as intelligently as their husbands,'brothers and sons.

The International Woman's Suffrage Alliance recently has been in

Session in Geneva, Switzerland, dealing with the most vital issues facingwomen who, to loyalty to the political welfare of their sex. add a profoundinterest in a better world-order in a law-governed world. The alliancehas not allowed the passions and enmities following the war to narrow

its tests of membership or to becloud its moral ideals. Though women

suffer most from war horrors and post-war poverty and disease they haveshown by their conduct at this conference that they more quickly than men

rise again to the altitude of goodwill, and sooner than the male fightersbegin to think with an "international mind."

These two conferences are symbols of new facts in contemporarypolitics that begin to be reflected in the platforms of the historic partiesJmd especially so in the programs or platforms of the newer and inchoateparties that are looming up on the horizon.

The Republican party's platform adopted last week at Chicago bears,visible signs of the pressure upon the leaders and platform makers of theNational League of Women Voter s demands in their'woman s platformso carefully framed and so finely balanced in its groupings of facts and

arguments. The league is not wholly pleased with the d^eeto which it

was obeled; but it certainly got more than ever was conceded before. Laterconventions of other parties may concede more. Upon the final »

«he last partv to assemble and a comparative study of all the platformsmany women will determine their votes. They are bent on protectingpromen and children. For that end they will dedicate their votes.

The State of the Payrolls.The wholesale resignations from the government service scheduled

to reach their peak on July I. are essential in order to make payrolls$t appropriations and in the evolution from a war-time to a peacetimebasis.

,.

Since the signing oi the armistice there have been .21,5.23 dismissalsfrom the service, and when the figures up to July 1 arc finallycomputed the number dropped is expected to reach closc to 40.000.[Washington on April 30 of the present year had cxactly 96.337 rcdera1employes, and with the payrolls once more on a normal basisJhe figures are expected to be well below 75.000.

Before the war there were 3^77 Federal employes, so that in

round numbers the civilian force has been practically doubled by theagencies created by the war which must continue until the period ofcomplete adjustment has been reached.

\ tendency to dwell upon inflated payrolls and to call for a

return to pre-war figures of employment by some misguided studentsof economy fails to consider that there are certain government functionsleft as a war sequel which must be continued, and they involvethe services of thousands of employes. I

The War Risk Insurance Bureau and the Federal VocationalBranch are but two of a number of such services which must continueindefinitely. It is possible to conceive the wave of protestwhich would sweep the nation over any neglect of the woundedsoldiers or inattention and delays which wholesale discharge wouldinvolve.

There was no Eighteenth amendment or Volstead law before thewar, nor the collection of income taxes such a stupendous task. Theenforcement of the law and the collection of these vast sums requirea vast armv of employes not necessary in 1917- These all come underthe Treasury Department, and partly account for the increase from8,285 of pre-war days to the personnel of 3'>^ *' present. TheLiberty Bond Bureau is another necessary service which accounts forhundreds of employes, and the taking and tabulating of the 19.20census swells the rolls of the Commerce Department by thousands.

It can thus be seen by a very simple analysis that the pre-warfigures, which many set as a goal for the government to once more

attain, do not allow for the normal growth of Federal activities andseemingly disregard the after-war services which must be continuedand which involve the employment of thousands.

The worst handicap the McAdoo campaign has yet encountered is thefact that the Wall Street gamblers favor him in the betting. Only a weekago they favored Wood and Johnson.

Over in Europe they're beginning to say that the league of nationswon't amount to much if America isn't in it. Over here both prosand cons have known it for a long time.

Women as a rule don't like to play second fiddle, and yet they'dbe very happy with the Vice Presidency if the Democrats really wantto get rid of it.

Boston, as she lands in seventh place by the census figures, willprobably retort that while figures don't lie those that make themfrequently do.

So Mr. McAdoo won't accept the Democratic nomination. Betteriy)t bet your last two pounds of sugar on this statement if you'reshort of sugar.

, if a certain well-known brand of soap should jump in price, now orin the immediate future, what a merry time confronts one unsuccessfulcampaign manager.

Reading President Wilson's latest interview the belief prevailshe'» following Gen. Grant's advice to fight it out on this line if it takesall summer.

^There's no disputing that all the Democrats' comfortably bound forSan Francisco favored at least one kind of reservations.

their pre-war glamour, for the PullMe-Inshops near 4he Pennsylvaniadepot on Seventh avenue are disposingof nifty made-over seconohandclothes for »7 each. And so

the young blades may have a suitfor every day In the week.

It was rough picking for themwhen even a hand-me-down secondhand suit sold for )35 for It was

their "front" that permitted themto pose as young swells around thehotel lobbies and cabarets cadgingdrinks and making small flyingtouches. Now they may strut andaffoct the English drawl with thesame old abandon.Several of the big cafes have ctiv

Fifth avenue opened with a bangseveral days ago and announced oldbefore-the-war prices. It put quitea crimp In the Fifth avenue shopsthat are charging 11.75 a pound foralmost every kind of candy. Silkshirts in many of the best shopsare marked down to $4.50 and thetailor-made shirts are now beingsold for $15. whereas they formerlysold as high as $32.50.Most all of us will sympathixe

Gradually all of the New Yorkhotels are lifting the ban on dogs.It used to be that all of them permitteddogs, if not in the rooms inkennels in the basement. Then an

English concern came along andbuilt an exclusive hotel and theyliterally retailed exclustvenessOne thing they refused to permitwas a clog. Several other hotelshave scientific kennels and thosewho haven't kennels are permittingdogs of all kinds. But theyare making a charge of $1 a day.And What is that to a man wholoves his dog?Some way or other the bobbed

hair prejudice Is disappearing Itis true that the big departmentstores will not employ girls whobob their hair and this in spite ofthe fact they employ floor walkerswith balfl heads and Van Dykebeards.but It seems bobbed hairhas come to stay. Greenwich Villageput a stigma on the fashionat first. At one of the last nightsof grand opera a music critic countedten women in private boxes whohad bobbed hair. At the race*,smart cafes and theater they are

frequently seen. Many of themare married women who havefound it is the only way they can

keep their hair and still others findit the most becoming way forthem. One of the society journalstells of a matron past 60 who recentlyappeared at a social functionwith her silver hair bobbed.That Is perhaps going too far.

WEATHER VERDICTS.The weather man dispenses bunk.his daily prophesies are

punk: there is no merit in hissong, for he predicts theweather wrong.

This morn he gave the verdict"Clear." and claimed no cloudydays were near. 1 took thisverdict as my guide andcame home soaked unto the hide.

"No rain today." so runs hisline."Tomorrow clear and fullof shine".but let me trust hisweatherbill.and down the rain beginsto spill.

Or If his verdicts call for floods.1 doll me up in storm-proof dudsand e'er I'm fairly on my way therebreaks a hot and shining day.

I cannot trust the weather man.he fails me every time he can; Inweather bad or weather mild, hisprophesies are always wild.

Shrinking GownsBring Symphony

Of Protest HereCatholic women of Washington

endorse the stand taken byFather Antoine. of St. LouisCathedral, in New Orleans, whorecently ordered a bride awayfrom the altar to put on a gownmore in accordance with his ideasof modesty.Although leaders of Catholic

women's organizations in tWscity claim they have had littletrouble with girls under theirdirect charge in the matter ofimmodest dress, they have beenshocked by feminine attire seenon Washington streets.

"I certainly am In accord withthe action taken by Father Antoine."said Miss L». C. Flavin,director of the Calvert Club."While our own girls have beenvery modest in their dresssomething should be done abouttome of the extreme styles wejee elsewhere. 1 believe businessmen who employ such girls areas much to blame as the girlsthemselves.

"If they insisted that girlsdress modestly there would beless trouble."Miss Cox. director of the Maura

Club. 2408 K street, said: "Somejf the extreme styles seen onthe streets shock other modestjlrls."The I^adies of the Sacred

Heart, national sponsors of theChildren of Mary.' the sodalityal girls and young women in allparishes of the country, have issueda stringent rule regulatingboth the length of the skirt andthe height of the bodice ingirls' dresses.

TOMAP WORKCONTINUED FROM PAG* ON*.

In conference with this group. Mr.mltteeman from that State.

Mr. William* went to the conventionas one of the supporter*of Senator Hiram W. Johnson, ofCalifornia.

Mr. Hamon supported Mr. Ix»wdenat the convention, after fallingout with the campaign for Gen.Leonard Wood.Mr. Hillls was one of the active

supporters of Dr. Nicholas MurrayButler.Harding probably will choose theexecutive committee 4° co-operatewith Mr. Hays In the administrationof the campaign.

Mr. Hording conferred at lengthyesterday morning with George H.Clark, chairman of the RepublicanState advisory committee, relativeto political matters In Ohio. Mr.Clark was afterward questioned asto what ^attitude would be takentoward Hud K. Hynicka. chairmanof the Hamilton County advisorycommittee, for his failure to supporthis Instructions to support Mr.Harding at the Chicago convention.

"I think that those two votes atChicago were a political debt-payingproposition." Mr. Clark said, explainingMr. Hynickas votes forGen. Wood. "Col. Procter had savedMr Hynicka the position as chairmanof the Hamilton County advisorycommittee several years. Hewas asking Mr. Hynicka for somethingin return Mr. Hynicka neverforgets a friend."

Hrandegee A gala Caller.Senator Frank B. Brandegee. of

Connecticut, was again among Mr.Harding's callers yesterday, but thenature of their conference was notdivulged. Representative AddisonT. Smith, of Utah, called on Mr.Harding relative to the reclamationprogram of the West.

"The Republican nominee." de-clared John Barrett, director gen-eral of the Pan American Union, fol-lowing a conference with Mr. Hard-ing. "stands for practical Pan Amer- jicanlsm. Senator Harding's idea ofPan Americanism is of the sort thatwill be of benefit to every l.atinAmericancountry and individualJust as much as the United States."

Franklin MacVeagh. former Secretaryof the Treasury, sent the followingmessage to Mr. Harding yesterday:"Please accept the hearty and

loyal good wishes of a beaten Woodman. My acquaintance with you.that I regret is not greater, and thethings 1 know about you give mea personal Interest in your successwhich added to a keen sense of theimportance of a Republican victorymakes me very anxious for yourelection.

Predicts Harding Success."My guess is that inur attitude in

the campaign.from the beginning.will show that progressives of theWood stripe are easily included in>our political sympathies; and thatas a candidate.and subsequently asPresident.you will stand as a pro-gressivc conservative, which is asnear as need be to the resultant ofthe opposing tendencies of the party.And with that impression madeupon the public mind, and aided byyour fortunate personal advantages,you will surely succeed."John C. Price, attorney general of

Ohio, expressed confidence in Mr.Harding's election in a letter to him,and pledged his support. HelenVarick Boswell, chairman of thewomen's division. Republican Countycommittee of New York, sent the jfollowing message to Mr. Harding;"The women of New York con- !

gratulate the party and congratu-late you on your nomination for thePresidency. As one of the two worn-en delegates from the State of NewYork 1 had the satisfaction of actuallyvoting for you. and in doingthis, know that I was representingmany thousands of women who aredelighted that Ohio is again to givea President to the United States.

Women to Give Service."The women of New York County I

are content to give their service for !the party working under the guid- jance of the men who have for longbeen leaders and know what shouldbe done. We shall start our cam- jpaign for you right now and shall |keep it up with earnest enthusiasmuntil the day on which you areelected."

In the Limelight»X George Perry Morris.

Amherst College hu taken ratherlonger than ahe should have In makingAlexander D. Noyes the receiverof an honorary degree. Hehas had few. If any, peers fer someyeara In the responsible Held of "financialJournalism." serving tweconstituencies regularly, the NewYork Evening Pest and 8crlbner'sMagazine, and many others Irregularly.Tou may not have thechance for brilliant writing In thisdepartment of Journalism that is tobe foun* In other domains of thecraft, but It Is one of the most responsibleposts, calling for much intellectualability, a knowledge ofthe history of business and banking,and flawless honor. Noyes has It Inhim to be ironically brilliant andpowerful In polemics, and when 11knew him as a lad In high schoolwe all thought he was the coming»Tom Nast. We would have saidthat he would come to be editor ofTuck instead of what he haa become.The twig certainly was in-clined jestward. but the tree is aregular Old Hickory of sobriety andreliability.Town planning is forging ahead

in this country faster than mostpersons realize who have not keptrun of events. Moreover, it is un-der way in sections of the country!where its ardent advocates in thegeneral population are few in number.Thus In Dawson, Colo., on thebroad bottom lands and surroundingbluffs of the fertile YampaHiver Valley a model citj^ is to arise200 miles from Denver. Farming;and coal mining, fruit raising andstock ranching are the main sourcesof income of the people. Impulsefor this future "planned town"comes from men who have investedin the mines and who do not wanta typical "industrial community"such as is found in the Kast or inEngland to arise. The town is tobe zoned from the beginning intoresidential, business, industrial andagricultural areas. Streets are tobe laid out with all the topograph-ickl variations of the site in mind.Paiks. of course, are a natural featureof the progressive plan. Theminers' and other residents' homesare to be standardized. The expertwho is co-operating with these newtype of industrial town builders isJohn Nolen, whose work is scat-tered from the Atlantic to the Pa-< iflc and from Massachusetts toNorth Carolina. His books on townplanning are sold widely.

Bishop Charles D. Williams, ofMichigan, who is prominent in thecounsels of the "Coram ttee of jForty-Eight" that is planning toput a third party ticket in the field.!is the leader of the progressive"social Christianity" element of theProtestant Episcopal Church and aman of large calibre and much -infavor as a preacher to universityaudiences. He is not as radical asRev. Percy Grant of the Church of'the Ascension, New York City, buthe is out on the "firing line" of jecclesiastical, political and socialreform.

Mr. Frederick Morgan Klrby. ofWilkesbarre, Pa., has given $100,<000to Lafayette College. Easton.Pa., to found a chair of civil rights.The instruction must be on "absoluterights." The fallacies ofsocialism and kindred theories. Iabhorrent to the donor, must berefuted so as to aid in conserving1"individual energy and thrift." Thecollege has accepted the gift. Nowthe selection of the man to fill thechair falls upon the trustees. "Absolutists"are not as common nowadaysas pragmatists.

Ellery Sedgwick, the esteemededitor of our esteemed contemporary.the Atlantic Monthly, havingbeen taken to task by some of hisreaders for publishing articles byRussian and German authors dealingwith contemporary events in away quite different from the editorialsof the Boston Transcript,lets these complainants know thathe is not running a chauvinisticAmerican monthly, but an interna- '

tionally-minded review. This isnot the first shock that Mr. Sedg-*wick has given the conservativereaders of the Atlantic. He personallyhas praised Bryan and Wilson;he has admitted Giovanitti's poetry;and he has a keen scent for auto-biographical material showing howthe plain folks of the nation live,residents of the ghettos, schoolteachers in Western mountain regions,and day laborers in shipyardsand stockyards.

Wallace W. Atwood. who succeedsG. Stanley Hall as president of ClarkUniversity. Worcester, is well knownin Washington scientific circlesowing to his twenty years' connectionwith the United States GeologicSurvey, which brought him tothe survey's headquarters for longeror shorter stays. Chicago is hisnative city and he grew up in thatsection of the country and In timebecame a professor in the local uni-versitv. having academic connec-tions there for fourteen years. In1918 he went to Harvard* as professorof physiography.
