MRS. WOODROW WILSON
AIDING BIG MOVEMENT
Wife Of President at Meeting Today
at Which Secretary Redfeld
and Others Speak.

Characterizing Washington as the most
beautiful city In the world. but never
theless "whited sepulcher'' SO far as it's
alleys are concerned Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins. who presided at meeting of
the woman's department of the National
Civic Federation held at Rauscher's to-
day, made stirring appeal for moral
support and financial aid in the work
the woman's department is doing to an
audience composed Of many of the best
known women in Washington.
Included among these We're Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, the wife Of the President,
who occupied a seat on the platform
from which Mrs. Hopkins spoke. and who
was present, it was announced, in fulfill
ment of a promise to take an interest in
the alley and other house problems of the
capital, following a trip she made with
Mrs. Hopkins a few days ago in connec-
ton with the welfare work of the wom-
ans department

The need Of closer afffliation between
women's organizations. not only nation
ally but internationally. If the women are
to succeed i'm their aims, was pointed out
at the twentieth annual executive of the
National Council of Women, which con-
vened here today for three day session.
Organization was effected this morning.
and the reports OF the officers and com
mittees were read and adopted.
The council is composed of about
twenty-five women's organizations, To-
Gated in various parts of the country
Each affiliated organization sent its pres
ident and another member as delegates
to this meeting. The council viii divide
its sessions between Washington aud
Alexandria. Va.
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett. NJ. D., OF
Alexandria. Va. the president OF the
national council, in her report pointed
out that it was the duty of the present
meeting to clear the atmosphere of q
good deal of misunderstanding between
the affiliated organizations.
Refers to Minimum Wage.
Mrs. Barrett declared that she felt that
the movement to have laws enacted pro-
yiding a minimum wage scale for children
would cause the employers to demand
tndlf tHty Dc SiScii No'uN hoi s'N'A --'O->~ss
which would in turn lead to the estab-
lishment of vocational schools in order
that children might be trained before they
were compelled to take up various lines
of work. - =
She also expressed the hope that the
delegates would use their efforts, when
they arrived home after the convention.
in getting committees appointed IN
their towns for the regulation OF the
amusement of the young people.
Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead OF Boston
suggested that as the report of the
president was to go to the International
Council of Women at The Hague IT
should have contained a paragraph on
international peace and arbitration. AZ
that was one of the objects to be pro-
NOTED by the national council.
She declared there was an erroneous
impression abroad that the American
people themselves defeated the arbitra-
ton treaty between the United States ann
Great Britain, when, a matter or
fact, they were defeated by the votes or
only two senator's She. felt that the
people of Europe should be informed that
America was i'm the vanguard for interna-
tionaI peace and arbitration.
She asserted that by correspondence
with the children's bureau and the Navy
Department she had ascertained that the
annual amount expended by this country
for the protection of its children was
equal only to the amount spent In re-
pairing two little torpedo boats for
year.

capital, following a trip she made with
Mrs. Hopkins a few days ago in connec-
ton with the welfare work of the wom-
ans department
Redfeld and Others Speak.
In addition to Mrs. Hopkins speech. ad-
dresses were made by william c. Red
field. Secretary of Commerce; John 1hlder,
field secretary Of the National Housing
Association. New York. and Mrs. Ernest
p. Bicknell, member of the central COM
mittee OH housing of the organization.
The hall at Rauscher's. I'm which the
meeting was held, was crowded to its
limit. Lord Eustace Percy of the British
legation and Arthur Willert acting as
ushers. Members of the Consumers
League and the Jewish Alliance took
part in the meeting, which was open tc
the public.
One Of the most important announce
ments made was by Mrs. Bicknell, to
whose indefatigable work and energy
Mrs. Hopkins said, in introducing her, is
due an idea being carried out by the
housing committee similar to that known
in London and Philadelphia as the Oc-
tavia Hill plan Of retaining alleys and
their inhabitants.
Will Control 214 Houses.
Mrs Bicknell said that the Sanitary
Improvement Company has turned over
to the housing committee ia alley houses
in Washington as basis for an expert
ment to be made. which will consist of
the housing committee collecting the
rents and caring for the houses physi-
cally.
TT is cheaper for Washington to take
care of these houses, Mrs. Bickn@l said.
than it is to take care Of those who are
turned out of them as criminals. We
want to improve the houses and the fam
lilies at the same time" Mrs. Bicknell
said that she had been encouraged by re-
ports from similar experiments made in
Philadelphia, where alley problems are
greater than in Washington, there being
in the capital 175 alleys. with $4,000 peo-
pie in them. against much larger figures
in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Hopkins. before introducing the
speakers, reviewed the work of the wom-
ans department of the National Civic
Federation during the year. telling of
some of the things that had been accom-
plished by the organization with the aid
of the Monday Evening Club. the Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis, the
Diet Kitchen. the Instructive Visiting
Nurses Society. the Associated Charities,
and other organizations.

In the big tent nesting by the Glide rink this
week Tacoma is holding her first Chautaqua. APP
parently the people have not yet realized the inn
portance of the movement.
Last week probably $4,000 strangers came to this
city for the auto races and the Montamara ceebra-
ton in the Stadium. A proper development of the
Chautauqua idea should bring equal number this
week For the attractions presented in the chautau-
qua are giving the people really better entertain
ment than the Mantamara sFesto itself
OF course the entertainment is different and the
Chautauqua appeals to the optimism, the enlighten-
ment the intellectually and the good humor OF the
community especially. But the programs include
the best talent in the country in music literature
and oratory with enough specialties introduced to
entertain the most critical.
The Chautauqua idea has made Chautaqua, n. Y,
a household word 1t is making Winona, lnd and
many eastern cities headquarters for the culture and
wholesome entertainment for hundreds OF miles
around Tacoma should not lose the opportunity OF
making the Chautauqua here permanent feature
for it means much thefe of the people and to the
development of the city in the future.
Presenting the best attractions in music and ora
tory at minimum of cost, the Chautauqua has be-
come great factor in the world Tacoma should
manifest full appreciation of its possibilities and
make this the Chautaqua city Of the Northwest to
draw the culture of the whole section to this city
of homes churches and universities

Probably few persons in the
Princess theater audience yester-
day realized the distinct success
that was met by the first presen-
tation of "The Common Law" in
which Miss Warda Howard and
her company opened a weeks run.
The successful launching of the
play was a small triumph for the
popular stock company. The rea-
son for the success is the fact
that the play they produced was
from one of the newest popular
novels-a novel that startled che
country by its daring reality.
1t must be explained that thea
trical managers are chary of pro-
ducing a play dramatized from a
popular novel within any i'm
mediate proximity of the date of
production of the story. The aud
fence is presumed to have read
the book and to have formed its
own mental picture of characters,
their dispositions and actions.
Therefore, an audience Is often
disappointed upon seeing the play.
AS Valerie West, the beautiful
model who falls desperately in
love with Louis Nevill, the artist,
Miss Warda Howard portrays
difficult character with all the in
stitution of the born actress. John
Lorenz, as Nevill, is seen at his
best. Miss Dorcas Mathews, as
Rita Tevis, the artists model and
intimate Of Valerie, has made
new mark this week, and George

Our big midsummer clearance,
inaugurated Friday, is already
causing widespread interest, and
why not? There are hundreds of
families in Tacoma and vicinity
who really need a piano, but who,
up to this time, have felt that
their means would not permit of
their owning a really good, new
one. A cheap or poorly-construct-
ed instrument, as is frequently
offered, they would not care to
own.
We put you in a position now
to purchase a really fine, slightly
used, high-grade piano of we'll
known make and unquestioned
quality, at price far below that
which you might expect to pay
much lower, in fact, than has ever
been offered before.

Most strange to say there was day
When ants could see quite well,
And were not forced, as they are now,
To find their way by smell.
But even so their eyes, you know,
Were rather weak and bad;
In fact very brilliant light
Would nearly drive them mad.
Now the king of bugs put on great Jugs
And hired the ants to work,
AS ants, of course, have never been
The sort of folks to shirk.
They served him well, so legends tell,
Except one fateful night,
And since that night they all have
dwelt
Beneath a fearsome blight.

Upon his birthday night,
And ordered out his glow worm band
To flood the scene with light.
Now glow worm light is full of might
And difficult to bear,

Inside their servants lair.
But when the crowd cheered long and

At such glorious sight
The ants ran out and disobeyed

Stage Gossip

All the critics praised ga Mans
Friends" a play of graft and poll
tics, by Ernest Poole, which open
ed a couple of weeks ago at the
Aston theater. They praised it
like this: ITS a good play. Too
bad it's about graft and politics
old stuff. Still, it's a good
play"
Next week "Quo Vadis' will be
seen in moving pictures at the
Aston. There is no such utter
damnation of faint praise.
