CONTEST ON
IN M. P. CHURCH
Several Candidates in Field
for Election TO the
Presidency
REV. DR.. GRAHAM IS
In LEAD Fer PLACE

Interest is growing keener every
day in the selection of the President
of the Maryland Conference OF the
Methodist Protestant Church at the
annual meeting, April 10, at LAUREL
Del. Although the tenure. Of office
is only one year, it has become SO
well established as a custom TO re-
elect the same man four times that
election practically means a five-year
term.
The position is one OF dignity and
power. A residence for the president
is provided in Baltimore, at No. 1920
Linden avenue, and the salary and ex-
pense allowance are generous. The
president makes the appointments OF
all the pastors and deyotes his timo
to visits to the churches in the inter-
est of the general activities of the
church.
DIR. w. r.. Graham Mentioned.
One of the names prominently men-
toned in connection with the posi-
ton is the Rev. DR.. Walter r. Gra-
ham, who was well supported five
years ago, when the Rev. DR.. ]. NJ
Sheridan, the incumbent, was chosen.
Dr Graham has a number of earnest
supporters. who have voted for him
even at the by-elections when the re-
elections of the incumbent was re-
garded as a certainty and little in
terest was taken in the suggestion OF
anyone else for the place. Some oi
the friends of DR.. Graham believe
that his name has been used so much
as a candidate that the full strength
of his support has begun to wane.
The Rev. DR.. John S. Bowers. for
mer pastor of st. Johns Church, St
Paul and Twenty-seventh streets, and
now at Alnutt Memorial Church, il
Northeast Baltimore, is said to hav,
a strong backing among the Balti
more members of the Conference. Thi
main issue is said now to be between
him and Dr. Graham, although th'
Rev. George w. Haddaway of Starr
Church, Mont Alto. is the mosl
prominent of the others mentioned for
the place
Age is likely to enter prominently
into the contest, now that the FIVE
wear plan has gained so much force
j. is pointed out that DR.. Bowers and
DR.. Graham are among the older moi
OF the Conference. and that they
would not likely be brought up fol
election five years hence if defeated
now
Younger Men Can Wait.
The Rev. Mr. Haddaway and sew
oral others suggested are younger an
would naturally be brought up agar
five years hence if the man chose
now is reelected for four suecessiv
times. Many of the preachers who's
influence is likely to count a grea
deal are still undecided as to
choice. Within the next few week
81 is thought that a definite trend wi
be noticeable.
The Conference will precede tn
General Conference. and delegates {
that meeting at ST. Johns Church d
Baltimore will be chosen. There wi
be 50 delegates to the general bod!
and thus all of the prominent me
fre sure to go. while those Of les
conspicuous prominence have thei
hopes and fears of election.

THE GRAPHIC'S
 LONDON LETTER
(Ry Herbert Temple

Especial Cable to the Graphic Through
 the International News Seryice)
 London, Oct. 12.-Royalty is pretty close to Diety in England, a fact to very large extent due to it's gush- ing press, and among the higher classes it has always been considered the acme of all blessings on earth to be invited to spend a few days in the country as the personal guest of~-the King and Queen. But wonderful 10 say there has been a total lack of effort to get an invitation to Balmoral, where King George and Queen Mary have spent the latter part of the sum- Tier.
 ..I am as loyal to my king as any body I heard a prominent society man saying in a fashionable West End Club the other night, and l would gladly give my life on the battlefield, but draw the line on being bored to death, and a week end at Balmoral is most the limit of what human pa- tierce and endurance can stand. What this gentleman said expresses pretty correctly the general opinion of the unfortunate ones, whom Queen May las found unworthy of being in- yited to the royal residence in Scot lai.d What the cabinet ministers. wEo go there by turn as part of their government duties, think is not re- corded, but it is noticed that when- ever Lloyd George returns from Bal moral he swings his golf sticks with unusual fury and makes his balls fly
 much further than usual, as if he needed some outlet for his fiery Welsh temper.

THE GRAPHIC'S PARIS LETTER

without waste of words and leave us in peace
 ness clearly, when you have only come to look and have a chat, because the prices are way beyond your means? Fortunately, the manager is much nicer than his horrid "plac- ards and treats you in the most charming way, but your feelings are hurt and your pleasure spoiled be- cause you know what he really thinks of you Why couldn't they let you keep your illusions?
 But the charm of the place makes you forget, as one automobile after the other stops outside and the rooms are filled with the most chic and beautiful women in Paris. The man nequins pass i'll review before you showing ob every costume to it's full advantage, while you sit and look at them you begin to see the sense of the present fashions; to emphasize discretely all womanly charms in woman, to suggest without eXaggerat- ing. The modes of today demand soft, willoWy figures, slow and almost lazy movements: corsets are banished, nothing must predominate, neither bust nor hips, because every outstand- ing point breaks la ligne,' which is everything today.
 Generally women look awful, when wearing evening dress in day time, but here at Poiret, where the sun light from without is filtered first through the foliage outside and after wards through red silk curtains, it is softened down to a beautiful tone which flatters everything and lends a wonderful charm to all these young, slender forms, snow white arms and bosoms framed in soft materials, cost ly fur and priceless lace and en- broidery.
 To say just what is fashionable is impossible. Never has individual taste been given as much freedom as this year. What matters now is to under stand to choose, to have an open eye for what is becoming to your own personality among the hundreds of creations which are shown to you. If you wish you will avoid all exag gerations and eccentricities. because you realize that beauty and harmony are always inseparable and necessary to compose a perfect ensemble.
 One of the most admired gowns at Poiret lately was one made of white liberty satin. The soft Clinging ma terial draped the form of the manne- quin like a Roman toga and was gathered beneath the bosom by a broad silk ribbon in a bold shade of green, but few possess the queenly grace and form to wear gown like this.
 Race Suicide ill France.
 France, as you know, is rather trouled about her birth statistics. A little while ago there was some ques- tion of the institution of an Order of Maternity Merit, to he conferred on such ladies as had given repeated proof of a nenlightened and prolific patriotism. Unfortunately it came to nothing. Still, one does what one can, and the Councillor General of Mon targis has made notable precedent after the celebration of a marriage at the .Mairie.''

Paris, Oct. 12.-In all Paris there is probably no man who is more admired by women than M. Gauthier-Villars. better known under his non de plume
 Willy, and no one ought to be bet ter qualified to speak on the subject CT The Man Who Understands fWo- men, which Hughes le Roux submit- ted to the readers Of "I-e Matin,' and ever since the replies began to pour in we have all been expecting to hear from Willy.
 At last he has spoken in just the manner which we expected from his pen.
 Tn order to understand Women," he writes, you must first love them, and surely nothing could be nicer or more true than this, for no woman ever shows the best and truest part of herself except to the man who loves her, and to try to understand woman without loving them, would be very much like trying to read book without knowing the alphabet.
 But I must go On quoting Willy.
 Them he says, you must not ask of them too much logic, nor cold, common sense, nor even fidelity; in short none of the alleged masculine virtues. (You will notice Willy says alleged which is very appropriate on his part. for fidelity at least is not one of his chief virtues. well, given that one does not demand of them any of the austere virtues, one can then recognize that they have i'm finitely more generosity, active ten derness and indomitable courage than the best of us men,
 For Women Only.
 Now that all the horrid Americans, who are just loaded with money and can afford to buy anything they want in the way of furs and clothes and keep all our fashionable modistes too busy to think of us poor Parisiennes, have all gone back home, we have begun shopping in earnest and spend the best part of every day in Rue de la PaiX. Of course we do not always buy anything, but if you cant do that there is almost as much pleasure in looking at all the beautiful gowns; though I think it horrid that some of the incest establishments have adopted vulgar American posters on their walls, which tell you some very impclite things in plain words.
 Take Poiret's for instance, at 26. Avenue d'Antin, one of the most chic modistes in Paris. They have love ly, aristocratic looking little "hotel separated from the street by an artis- tic iron fence, through which you get a glimpse of the charming garden. The uniformed porter who opens the gate for you is very polite and the mannequins inside are perfect beau ties, but the first thing that strikes your eye when you enter the man agers sanctum are two posters. One reads: Nothing is more unbearable to one who works, than to have to waste his time on idlers' The other is not much better: No matter who you are, even if you are one of the most intimate friends of the house, please state your business clearly and

New York Sheriff
 To Appoint Some
 Women Deputies

New York, Jan ASheriff Julius Hamburger, who took office yesterday, said last night that it looked as though there would be a rush of wo- men to take advantage of an offer by him to appoint members of the sex special deputy sheriffs. Late yes CT day he received an inquiry from Mrs. John s. Crosby, president of the Wo- mems Democratic club, asking how many names of women as candidates for deputies she might submit.
 "As many as you Kke," the sheriff replied. T believe the innovation will be Q good policy, and I should like to appoint a large number of widows or other responsible women who are de- pendent upon themselves for a living, to act on my staff. There is great need of such deputies tn dance halls and other public places in the city where young women need protection '
 The Sheriff is permitted to appoint nearly 2,000 deputies if he desires. He said he would make the choice of hs first women deputies in few days.

SAVING THE BIRDS
The Annual Report of National Audu- bon Societies Shows Great
 Activity.

New York, Jan. 2-That a number of valuable North American birds have been saved from extinction is shown by the report of the National Associa- tion of Audubon Societies for the pro lection of wild birds and animals which was issued in this city to- day.
 The Association has employed war dens to guard many important breed ing colonies of ducks, geese, guils, terms, herohs, pehcans and other wa ter birds Virtually all the import ant nesting places of these species on the Atlantic and Gulf coast of the UnEted States, as well as on the lakes in the interior, are annually protected by the paid guards of the Association. In these colonies it is estimated D. OO0, GOO young birds were raised in 1911
 , The report shows that many lectur- CTS have been kept in the field, that a large number of State game protective laws advocated by the Association have. been enacted, and that in the educational field over 10000 additional school children received systematic in struction in bird study at the hands of. the local Audubon secretaries.
 In speaking of the growth of the movement, MT T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary, says: 'fWho would have dreamed, nine years ago thGs fall, when a little band of bird lovers. headed by MT. William Butcher, gathered in a room in Washington city and formed
