Sonora Godoy is atypical of the gently
born Latin American woman. She is an
excellent musician, and during the fleet
ing stays at various posts when she could
not place her children at school with any
certainty of keeping them there she
taught them music and the languages and
prepared them for college. Sonora Godoy
studied in a convent in San Francisco and
then was sent by her parents TO an ex-
cellent school near Toulouse in France.
Sonora Godoys sister is married to the
Mexican consul in Philadelphia, Senor
Jorge L. CanaliZo. and at present her
mother, Sonora Perrin, now widowed IS
living at the canalizo home. Sonora
Codoy hopes, during the winter to have
a visit both from her mother, Sonora
Perrin, and her sister. Though entirely
conservative, Sonora Godoy is broad
minded and well informed. She is well
apace of the world OF affairs and is
constant reader of good literature.

the minister from Bolivia is her chum,
and they may be seen together frequently
on the Washington boulevarus. Nearly
all the Godoy children have been educated
in Washington, and the second girl. Adela.
and her small brother were born here
Miss Adela is attending the Visitation
Convent. and the younger boys are in
the public school of Chevy Chase. The

later to the George Washington scientific
school. is in Peru, connected with a

the master of ceremonies will be given a
regular fund of $4,000 a year, of which
will be allowed $1,000 for the White
House greenhouses, $4,000 for fuel used
in the mansion and greenhouses and $50.

the White House. 1t is out of this latter
sum that Mrs. Wilson can have pur-
chased for her any new furniture. car

will be one to say her nay, unless it
be her husband
Upon assuming her residence in the
house March 4 she will find the
present master of ceremonies, Col. Spen-
Ger Cosby, with comfortable sum to
be spent by her until the fiscal year ex-
pres on June 80. Although such of
this years fund has been needed for
repainting and redecorating the building
was expended, as heretofore while the
presidential family was absent on it's va
cation, the balance saved for furniture,
tableware. etc, has been expended month h
by month by Mrs. Taft. Since the usual
expenditure for painting the entire ex-
terror OF the mansion was saved this
year because Mr. Taft did not think that
new paint was needed and because he
sent for the fire department to wash
down the building instead, there is prob
ably more than the usual amount of
money left this winter for movables in
side the house. And it is not at all i'm

would like some of the remainder of the
fund expended.
In addition to the regular appropria-
tions for the items mentioned Mrs. Will

Congress to allow her any special ap-
preparations she may deem necessary for
extraordinary purchases or renovations

Cuban Troubles Affect
Christian Work Enterprises.

The newly developed race war in Cuba
and the military operations started be-
cause OF It are affecting adversely the
Christian work OF the island. especially
that part projected and maintained by
Americans The chief Protestant bodies
OF this country having missions in Cuba
are the Baptist North and South, the
Episcopal. and the Methodist South. The
earliest there. even before the political
freedom OF the Island were the Baptist
South and the Episcopal. The growth
OF Protestant work in the island. among
both white and black, has been steady
and along educational lines large.
Baptist North work was early project
cd in Santiago and the extreme east.
and supported by Americans through
Baptist churches here are q large Bap-
list Church in Santiago itself and sew
eral smaller churches in Oriente Prov
ince. Attached to the churches are
schools. and these schools have been
attended by children OF both races,
usually heretofore without prejudice to
either. Reports received by the Baptist
Home Mission Society show that Chapels
at La Maya and at Jorahucca have
been burned, not by military forces, but
by marauders and malcontents. Bap-
lists in Eastern Cuba alone have fifty-
four churches. The Episcopal Church
has Work in nearly all parts OF the
island, with a cathedral at Havana, and
a considerable educational system that
has headquarters in Guantanamo.

National Assembly Of
Workers with BOYS Projected.

Y. NJ. c. A. workers among boys have
taken initial steps toward holding next
year the first assembly on work for
boys 1t will be confined to AssOCia-
ton workers, but will include all work
ers in North America The place has
not yet been decided upon, but It will
be some city in the Central West. The
date VIII be one year hence. This time
is selected in part because the triennial
gathering Of the Worlds Student Chris
tian Federation occurs then, and will
bring here from Europe many noted
workers among students and boys.
The very rapid growth OF Association
work among boys demands, II is said,
the coming together of experienced lead
ers from many sections, and experts
who have studied boy life. It is held
that the Men and Religion campaign will
soon have spent its initial force, and
that workers among boys must now
take steps to conserve that interest. A
unique plan for expense Of delegates has
been put forth. It is that all delegates
pay $25 whether they come long or short
distances. The amount is pooled. and
all fare the same. To reduce this sum
g!vers, and whatever is secured is di-
vided pro rata.
The Association has 5000 boys in its
of whom 1900 are using
the gymnasiums. About 5000 boys reg
ularly attend Association Bible classes,
and 1000 the educational classes. The
latter is for the most part industrial
and has for its aim the training Of
young men and boys unable for finan-
cial reasons to remain in regular
schools.

BINDERS GROWING
In POPULARITY
BOOklOvsrs See Advantage Of Keep
ing Answers to Ruzzles in Com
pact and Neat Form.

The binders for use in The Washing
ton Herald Booklovers' Contest are
growing In favor as the climax Of the
competition draws nearer. The conven-
ience Of the binder. making 1t easy for
the contestant to assemble his answers
to the sixty-hve problems, is the basis
OF the popularity Of the innovation. The
binder is also economical, and that ad-
vantage has not escaped the attention
of the contestants; but facility in hand
ling answers to the pictures is the chief
appeal.
Nearly every contestant. It is believed,
viii submit more than one answer TO
each picture, and for that reason It is
expected that most OF the participants
In the competition will use binders.
It may be borne in mind, however, that
it Is not necessary to use binders TO be
eligible in the contest. They are merely
for convenience.
The advantage Of submitting more than
one answer to each problem is apparent,
for more than one answer to a picture
may seem to the contestant to be ap-
propriate and logical. Where the con-
testant is in doubt which answer TO sub
nit he would do well to submit both.
Five answers for each picture are al
lowed, and II is anticipated some con-
testants will make use of all five an
swers for each Of the sixty-five prob
lens.
The first prize offered contestants is a
fine building lot IN Randle Highlands,
valued at $1,000
The second prize is a Kingsbury inner
player piano valued at $50 The instru-
ment, one Of standard make. is on exhi-
bition at the store OF the Percy S. Fos-
ter Piano Company, 1880 G Street North
west
The third prize is a $500 library of
books from Brentano's, Twelfth and
Streets Northwest. The winner Of this
prize will be entitled to the privilege of
making changes In the selection of books
recommended by the Brentano manager.
For consolation prizes cash awards ag-
gregating $3.50 are offered in the form OF
credits at the Citizens Savings Bank,

zoo WOLVES GET
LESSONS IN MUSIC
By Means of PhOnograph the Ami
mails Howls Are Made
Harmonious.

New York, June 2O.-The long-drawn
howl Of a timber wolf shattered the soli-
tude which comes at nightfall in the
Geological Park in the Bronx. There
came a chorus of howls and then silence.
After an interval came another howl,
this so low that heard 'at distance It
this last sound was more meIodious than
the first-a sort Of ideal wolf call to the
night; slightly soprano and rising musi-
cally, note upon note.
This last call was not the cry Of a wolf
It came from a phonograph hidden near
the wolf cages, and was a demonstration
OF an experiment that is being conducted
by a student of animals 70 prove that
the calls OF wild animals can be made
more musical. in other words, that voice
culture is possible among animals.
Raymond L. Ditmars, the curator Of the
zoo, is enthusiastic over this experiment,
as he is over the oddities in the zoo
which, from time to time. find their way
into print Mr.. Ditmars is OF the opinion
that already the wolves can howl more
in harmony and in key than they could
before the phOnOgraph, and the scientist
began to teach them the way to reach
high c gracefully. To the unframed ear,
however. the hOwls remain as unmusical
as they were in the nights before the
experiment began.
Mr.. Ditmars did not give the name OF
the scientist who is demonstrating his
theory, and he offered no information
regarding the identity Of the person or
animal who gave forth the melOdious
wolf, all OF which is now recorded on
the phOnOgraph and let on "a intervals

He admitted II was not a record OF
CarusOs voice. The new wolf call is
bad enough, but it is certainly an i'm
prOvement upon the call given out by
the unframed wolf voice.

St. Margaret,s Daughters, Congress.

Last Saturday and Sunday, June Is
and 16 the twenty-third annual conven-
ton of the Catholic society known as
St. Margaret's Daughters was held in
New Orleans. The sessions were pre-
sided over by Archbishop BIenk OF
New Orleans, its honorary spiritual di-
rector. The members rounded out their
years work by endeavoring to arouse a
more general interest in their society,
which they believe to be the ideal Cath
olic laywoman's organization Of the
world.
Pope Leo XIII granted It, June "a,
1894, the same indulgences as were con-
ferred on the Society Of st. Vincent de
Paul, the greatest OF all Cotholic lay
organizations, and in this respect St.
Margaret's Daughters stands alone
among women's societies. These indul-
gences were approved and additional
privileges were granted the members by
Pope Plus x on May %, 1909.
The general objects Of the society are
the planning, undertaking, financing,
and executing OF good works, whether
charitable, eleemosynary, educational,
benevolent. or others Of a like character
which anywhere are performed under
the guidance OF the Catholic Church in
behalf Of humanity, as well as those
which the betterment OF social, civic,
and religious conditions may demand.
The members have Done a vast deal Of
good I'm providing homes for those tenn
porarily stranded, procuring clothing
for the poor, visiting those in need Of
spiritual or material comfort, working
in hospitals and other public institu-
tons, forming branches OF the society
to work in connection with Juvenile
courts. travellers air associations, and
kindred organizations, and engaging I'm
various other good works
There are three grades Of member
ship-active members, passive members,
who take no part in the work but con-
tribute funds, and auxiliary members,
consisting OF men who aid by contribu-
tions and who are known as St. Marga-
ret's Sons. The society is made UP Of
circles, and these are Of two kinds
those doing parish work and those per-
forming labors OF a general character.

A Jewish Contributor of Catholic
Scholarships.

An interesting gift, or rather the first
of five interesting gifts which will total
$4,000. has just been made TO the Roman
Catholic University at Washington, by
DR.. Max Pam, a Jewish lawyer. of Chi
cagO, with a reputation for philanthro-
pic interests. He has Just forwarded to
Cardinal Gibbons the sum Of 5000 to es-
tablish the first Of five scholarships, the
others to be given annually during the
next four years. The awards are to be
made to students making a special in
yestigation Of present social and eco
nomic problems. In his communication
which accompanied the gift, DR.. Pam de-
clared his conviction that our modern
crisis centers around mans relation 10
man, mans relation to the government,
and mans relation to property" He
voices his hopes that these scholarships
may help to raise up a leadership really
qualified to discover ways out. I'VE
hear advanced, from time to time"
says DR.. Pam, new and strange the
ortes Of government. There are some
who claim, even at the present hour,
that the Constitution has outlived its
usefulness. The people at bottom are
right but they need wise and honest
leadership. To avert this latter danger
We must have men who are qualified by
training and integrity"
To a representative of the Congrega-
tiOnalist DIR. Pam declared that his main
was simply the welfare Of the
human family. Replying to a query
with regard to socialism and the evil
dent bias against II with which a Cath
olic investigator would probably start,
he said his own desire in the studies
would be for findings made without bias
or prejudice. The term socialism, he
feels, covers as yet so vague an eco
nomic sphere that the situation can
well be considered without its eompli-
cations.
