GOVERNOR TO COMPLIMENT
MOTHERS.

Governor Craig is greatly inter
ested in North Carolina babies and
u extending the>fulI privileges OF the
new Vital Statistics law to every
baby born in the State. 10 this enc
he has just announced that, IN
special recognition of every BABY
" hose birth is recorded under this
new law, he will write the mother a
letter and not only compliment her
on her motherhood, but express his
personal appreciation of her having
avaiIei herself of the privilege OF the
new law. Babies whose parents DO
not think enough of them to have
their birth recorded will OF course
not hear from the Governor.
Along with the Governors letter
the State Board of Health has ask"
ed to be allowed to send some OF its
best literature on the care and teec-
ing of infants and in this way en-
deavor to reduce our tremendous H.
tant mortality.
The Governor fully appreciates
the great privilege the State affords
its citizens in making complete Off .
cials records of their births and
deaths. There is a provision in the
new law whereby births and deaths
that occurred before the law became
effective last fall may be registered,
and it is interesting to note that our
own Governor was the first citizen
of the State to avail himself of this
pri;' ilege and to file his birth certltl-
cate. Since that date many other
births have been similarly recorded.

JUST 4 LITTLE ADVICE
BY GRACE ScHWEss.

1--WE been intending to come and see
you ever since you got back from your
wedding trip" began the caller, who
was considerably older than the bride
and whose cards were labeled Miss. "
How nice!" murmured the bride in
a slightly vague tone. She was still
in the throes of horror that rack a
pretty girl who has been discovered In
a busting apron and cap and who has
the profound conviction that there
must be smudges on her face. I'VE got
back so recently-we hardly expected

home for a month yet, according to
your cards, but I knew you wouldn't
mind me, even if you weren't settled.
I'd love to help you! People think /
have pretty good judgment about
hanging things and all that! Are you
going to have that picture there? My
dear, don't you see the green's in 1t

planned the bride. 1.-THE paperhang-

"Oh!" cried the caller in little Gre
scendo wall as she peered into the
room in question. She shook her head
gently and sadly. TITS too bad" she
mourned, that somebody didn't warn
you before you picked out that brown
paper! It went out last spring and
you should have used the putty tones.
It's really a crime when you want
everything right up to date. You
should phone them right away to
change it,
But all our things look better

putty shade! And Jack"

a finger archly at her, Il know Jack
I knew him years and years before he
even knew you were on earth. and
don't you begin by letting him decide
things! Jack is quite dear boy, but
he is apt to be tyrannical! Why, that
was the very reason we-I-that is,
there's no use bringing up past history,
is there, dear? Oh, / remember when
Jack bought that plaster head over
there! He rushed right to me with it,
he was so delighted! He said the pro-
file was exactly the same as mine! He
has such a way of imagining things!
Only I do think it is like my nose

NO. said the bride, trifle stifiy, II
can't say that ever did! I didn't
know you were such close friend Of
Jack's!"'
"Naughty!" murmured the caller, q
bit consciously. II should have sup
posed a man would have told his wife
everything! Why, Jack was at our
house morning, noon and night in
those days! Oh, isn't it a shame you
got SO many lamps for wedding pres
ents! They are expensive, of course,
but they don't match-the lamp shades
should tone in, shouldn't they? How
awful to have to live in a room with
rose and yellow and a blue and a
brown electric light! 1t positively sets

Washington, d. C.-Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo was the principal
guest at luncheon at the White
House, in which he greeted the mem
bers of his fiancee's family Saturday
The luncheon took place at / O'Clock
and the only other guests besides Miss
Margaret Wilson and Miss Eleanor
Wilson was Miss Ruth Hail and Miss
Mona McAdoo, daughter of the four
teenth White House bridegroom-elect
One of the handsomest engagement
rings ever seen in Washington ap-
peared on the finger of Miss Eleanor
Wilson. 1t is huge white diamond
solitaire in an old-fashioned claw set
ting with very little engraving on
the back.
One of the first fruits of the engage
ment announcement was the blossom
ing forth in Washington shop windows
Of the pretty Nell rose" shades in
dresses, stationery and trinkets. This
color was made for the bride-elect and
it is said by friends that the color will
predominant in the decorative scheme
of her wedding.
When Secretary McAdoo arrived at
his office Saturday morning he found
the reception-room of his private Office
filed with visitors waiting to con-
graduate him.
He shook hands all round with a
smile, but had little to say.
He wore light gray clothes, "a la
President Wilson," a fawn-colored
necktie and pink carnation in his
lapel.
His desk was piled with congratu-
latory letters and kilograms and the
food continued all day.
The White House bridegroom-elect
did not take day off, however, to
celebrate the announcement of his en-
engagement. He was treated to a
good deal of good-natured ralliery.
Several senators, including Senator
Ollie James and Senator Hoke Smith
called and greeted him with how is
the happy bridegroom" and 81 should
think you would take day off to cele-
brate your good luck"
Only Family Wedding.
The wedding will be purely family
affair.
Secretary McAdoo and Miss Wilson
are not even taking their intimate
friends into their confidence as to the
date, but society agreed the nuptials
would take place early in June
They held that Mr. McAdoo would
be so busy with his job as Secretary
of the Treasury during the next two
months, organizing the federal re-
serve system and putting into effect
the new currency law, that he wouldn't
have time to get married.

American Ambassador to Great BRIT

in a resolution adopted by the Sa1.
ate calling upon the Secretary NJ
State to investigate alleged public as.
sertions by the Ambassador relative
to the Monroe Doctrine and the Pan.
ANA Canal.
Senator Chamberlain, aroused over
reports of speech by Ambassador
Page in London before the Associated
Chambers of Commerce, introduced
the resolution of inquiry and his re-.
quest for immediate consideration re.
suited in its adoption without debate
The resolution requests the Secre.
tary of State to procure a copy for
the use of the Senate of Ambassador
Pages address, and to call upon the
Ambassador for evidence upon which
ne based the alleged statement that
lit added greatly to the pleasure Of
the Panama Canal TO know that the
British would profit most by its use"
Particular request is made in the
resolution for a verbatim report of
that portion of the Ambassadors ad.
dress in which he is reported to have
defined the Monroe Doctrine as mean
ing merely that the United States
would prefer that no European Gov
ernments would gain more land in
the New World"
Not Reported Verbatim.
After the resolution had been
adopted Senators heard of dispatches
from London saying the Ambassador
speech was delivered extemporane-
ously late in the evening and not re-
ported verbatim. and quoting Mr.
Page as explaining that his reference
to British use of the Panama Canal
was in light vein. 1t was taken for
granted at the Capitol. however that
in response to the State Departments
request the Ambassador would furnish
his recollection of just what he had
said, with the desired explanation.
No attempt to oppose the resolution
was made when Senator Chamberlain
offered it. the usual custom being 10
pass such measures as matter Of
courtesy.
Later in the day similar resolu-
ton was introduced in the House by
Representative Murray, of Oklahoma.
Democrat, but it did not get before
the body for discussion or action.

TO UNITE SECTS
IN TRUCE OF GOD
Thirty-Sever Branches of Chris

FOR A GREAT CONFERENCE.
European Nations Are Asked To Join
In the First General Council
OF Church Since the
Reformation.

New York.-The greatest effort in
the history of Christianity to unite all
the sects of the world which held the
Christian faith was proclaimed by a
committee representing 81 branches OF
Christianity in the United States.
This committee has no authority to
declare Christendom united, but it rep
resents the attempt of the majority OF
the worlds religions to meet if pos
sible, within the next five years, to
combine in Truce of God"
In 1910 the House of Bishops Of the
Episcopal Church, convened in Gin.
cinnati, appointed commission to be-
gin the movement for universal reli-
gious peace. This commission re-
ceived its first endowment from the
late J. P. Morgan, and at once ap
preached the official bodies of all sects
with an invitation to join in prepare.
ton for the worldwide amalgamation
of Christian churches.
During the last four years repre-
sentatives of 81 sects have reported TO
the Episcopal commission that they
believe in the one people of God
throughout the world. and have con
stituted themselves an advisory COM
mittee, endowed with power to invite
all the creeds of all nations TO confer.
Apart Since Reformation.
A general council of all Christen-
dom has not. been held since the period
known as the Reformation. in the
Sixteenth Century, because since that
time the various branches Of Chris
tianity have done little except to
emphasize the theological and liturgi-
cal differences by reason Of which
they had become estranged.
The coming general conference, or
Ecumenical Council, as such a gath
ering was called in the early centuries
of Christianity, will meet not to talk
of these differences, but to agree on
their common beliefs AS a solid col
lege of judges authoritatively consti-
tuted for united decisive action the CO.
operative verdict Of the assembly will
definitely establish the unity of Just
that part Of CAristendom which il rep
resents.
