CALLS PROBLEM FOR
WOMEN OF CABINET

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Women in
official society circles met here yes
terday and discussed the national cap
ita's complex calling system with a
view to evolving a simpler and more
satisfactory method of exchange OF
the formal call. The meeting was
held at the Congressional Club in re-
sponse to call by Mrs. Duncan U.
Fletcher, its president. Former Am
bassador Henry White, who served on
diplomatic missions to London, Paris,
Rome and other Europeant capitals
told OF social obligations as he had
observed them abroad.
Among those in attendance were Mrs.
Marshall. wife of the Nice-President;
MRS. Bryan. wife of the Secretary OF
State: Mrs. White, wife of the Chief
Justice OF the supreme Court; wives OF
Cabinet officers and others.
Mrs. Fletcher voiced tine sentiment Of
those present by declaring that the ne
cessity for a simpler calling system was
imperative. Everybody, she said. wants
TO return every call that is made upon
her. but there is limit OF hours m the
day and days in the week.
"On her first afternoon at home,
said Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Marshall
had 1000 calls and has averaged be-
tween 300 and 500 each Wednesday
since. Her sincere effort to return
every call has been the comment and
admiration OF all Washington society,
but how can anybody return in person
several thousand calls in one season
"Mrs. Marshairs experience is in
greater or less degree duplicated by
every official hostess in Washing
ton"
The question OF simplifying formal
calling in Washington has been grow
ing more acute during the last IL
years. and today's was the first at
tempt at simplification.

LEGISLATION
DISCUSSED
HOuSe Members Tell Wilson
TheyAr Opposed to Change
in Canal Bill
MAY NOT FINISH
WORK BY JUNE Is

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The gen.
eral congressional legislative program
came in for discussion at the White
House today. Majority Leader Oscar
Underwood and his chief assistant
Representative Claude Kitchen, Of
North Carolina, both went over the
ground with the Under
wood in the morning and kitchen this
afternoon. They explained at some
length the possible obstacles TO an
adjournment on June IS, the tentative
date agreed on between the President
and the Congressional leaders.
The Panama Canal tolls problem
came in for much attention Leader
Underwood told the President that he
had fought hard to have American
coast-wise shipping exempted from
the tolls provision; that he did 30
because il would encourage American
shipping and help in the re-estab-
lishment of an American merchant
marine. The Alabama representative
said that he had seen no good reason
to change his mind on tho subject
and expressed the belief that a ma
jority OF the members of the house felt
as he did.
President Wilson is understood TO have
explained TO his two visitors that his ad-
ivisors. including John Bassett Moore,
counsellor Of the State Department, and
an authority on international law,
agreed that the exemption violated the
spirit and also the letter OF the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
The President is understood to have
said that he believed the Senate would
take the initiative in repeating the ques-
toned section. and that if it did so the
House could follow suit, and in revers.
ing itself il would be simply bowling tc
the will of the upper body, which, under
the constitution, Is alone responsive foI
the settlement Of questions of an inter
national character.
