MRS. JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
 Another prominent leader
In circle above
 MARGARET HILL McCARTER The writer, who has been selected help national
 headquarters

She insisted strenuously that she was having no functions, because she distinctly disapproved of functions when the nation was at war. Even when she and her husband gave a dinner for Lord and Lady Reading very soon after their arrival, it must not for moment be regarded as a function. They simply had the Read lngS-people whom they had met in London, and really liked whole lot in to dinner. Which gave rise to the question how one was to entertain an exalted functionary without making a function of the entertainment, or When is a function not a function?" Answer: When it's at the AcCor, mcks'
 Now the war is over and there may be functions" a the house down un Jackson Place, where they are living this season, about opposite the old Cameron house, which was the Wash ington home of Ruth Hanna's girl hood; though her present home was one of which she knew every nook and corner, and where she danced away many d happy evening of her girlhood, having been at that time the residence of Mrs. Richard Townsend, Mrs. Peter Gerry's mother, and as notable as the scene of brilliant enter. taining as Mrs. Townsend's present Massachusetts avenue mansion is now. There will not, however, be the delightful Sunday night suppers. Mrs Mccormick decided to give tl,ose up when, in difference to the request of the authorities that men be dispensed with as household servants, she or ganized her household with only wor-- en servants, all of whom, incidenta'y, she brought with her from her Illi.,oi home.
 MT. Mccormick has been consplcl,- ously identified with the class of young college men who have entered into the political life of the country zealously. and concerned themselves intimately with the public welfare He is not old

The Honest Doughboy

TN A BIG Y. NJ. c. A. navy hut on the shores of a seaport town in western France you will see a huge sign over the cashiers window. It reads: Send Your Money Home. We Are Here to Serve"
 Through that tiny little caged win dow in just that one hut alone, the boys send home about $2O.0o0 d month. Some months it runs much higher. It costs the boys nothing not even their time. They turn the money in at the window and get a receipt for it. The money is sent the same day by New York draft direct to the wife or mother. Under sep arate cover goes a letter to her telling how it was sent, who sent it and when it was mailed.
 Of course, the service of this win dow is much more far-reaching than that The men behind it cash all post checks for the boys in the uniforms of the United States, both army and navy. They cash them without ask. ing for Identification. They cash all money orders from home without question. And they cash all personal checks if the boys happen to have a bank account in France. And it is interesting to note that they have never had check of any kind, sort or description come back to them. They have lent money to men who have been broke, with no security whatever, but it has always been paid back without exception,

Runs Her Own House

No home in Washington runs on more smoothly oiled machinery than that rather complicated home of the young Senator-elect from Illinois. Yet it is one of the few important off ciaI residences where no housekeeper IS on duty. On the contrary, Mrs. Mccormick has always insisted on running the house herself. And it is certainly an indication of rather un- usual executive ability that, although she gives up several hours daily to her desk at Republican Women's head quarters, she retains personal direc- ton of her home, and of every small est detail that affects her two chl- dren, Katrina, aged six, and Medill, generally known to intimates of the family as johnnie" aged two, goin' on three''
 Last winter the McCormicks had delightful home out on New Hamp- shire avenue, where, while they did 10 entertaining that she considered worthy of the name-certainly no for mai entertaining-they achieved reputation as about the most delight tul hosts in town. They had Sunday night suppers which everybody was quite crazy about informal perhaps, but most en5oyable, where one was sure to meet the most interesting people that ever came to Washington, not as lions particularly but simply as human beings
New Britain herald., 1919-02-03

Kepuolcan center that will serve IS a clearing house for the Republican women of the country. An important feature will be a bureau of infornoa- ton, to which women may refer party questions. She wants also to make it sort of club for Republican women or the congressional deIegations plac- Ing the headquarters rooms at their olSposal as a meeting place with 1rlehds. But her cardinal principle is that there shall be no division in the ranks of Republican men and women. No separate Women's organization is contemplated, but an orga nization which shall encourage the women and assure them that they are to be vel comcd to work side by side with the men and to have their part in direct ing the party destinies. She regards the conference of leading Republican women from all over the country, which she proposes to hold here in February, as epOchal in the party's cf- fairs. Time will be given for the women to thoroughly thresh out the reconstruction problems affecting the status of women, it being the first time that women have met together to con. sider ways and means of advancing the party's interests.
 She Opens Headquarters
 Mrs. Mccormick opened her head quarters about the middle of December with "tea and talk" There was nothing dry or official about the program. In q pleasant, berugged room, with the sunshine streaming in upon the ferns and growing things in the bay window of what had been the draWing-room of one of the most fashionable and hospitable residences of Washington a generation ago. a couple of hundred women gathered to meet Mrs McCor- mick and her friends-Mrs. Arthur Ky ersOn, just back from six months overseas service with the American Fund for French Wounded, and Mrs. Raymond Robins. They didn't, either of them, talk partisan politics. Mrs Robins was full of the difficulties of re4diustment of women who had thrown themselves into the breach when the nations industries needed them and seemed now likely to be thrown out without ceremony and with scant regard to right or justice. Mrs. Ryerson was full of the things she had seen in Franco.
 There were rows of little red.cush- toned gilt chairs, as for any parlor gathering. There was nothing partic- ularly political in the atmosphere be- yond Mrs. McCormick's little prelirni.

enough or radical enough to be call ed an inonoclast. But he has always done his own thinking. Mrs. Me Cormick is his feminine prototype. Not even her husband does her think ing. Nor does he want to. She is not at all a "pretty-pretty" type. She is dark-skinned, dark-eyed, with heavy dark hair, straight and slender, not very robust, but tremendously ener- getic. rather of the George Eliot type, interesting" but of no set style of beauty.
 Of course, she and MT. Mccormick have wealth-a good deal of it-but they are young and sincere and gen uine, and their wealth does not scream or stare at the passerby. It fits in with natural grace and is quite over looked in the realization that their purpose in life is the real thing, and their ideals are honest and fine.
 Manages a Farm
 Mrs. Mccormick is an accomplished horsewoman, probably the best in the official crowd in Washington. All her lie she naS naQ horses ana loved them; in fact, as 3 girl she was 90 devoted to them that her father useo to display mock terror lest when she grew up and came to choosing a career she would insist on being q jockey. Which is perhaps why, when she began to look around for little diversion from the serious affairs of life" she chose for her plaything Rock River Farm. the estate on the Rock River which these two energetic young people now call home. Her chief interest in the way of relaxa- tion is the management of those 1500 acres, where she is developing a won, derful dairy, not as a commercial proposition, but for the sake of the sick babies of Chicago, thousands of whom have been nursed back to health on the pure certified milk produced there. There is no finer herd of pure bred HoIsteins in the country than

(Abovc) MRS. MEDILL MCCORMICK Designated by Chairman Hays as leader of the Republican Womens Executive Committee

Illuminating experience, count for any thing, certainly Ruth Hanna McCor- mick ought to know how to play the political game.
 Moreover, she is a splendid refuta- tiOn of the bromide that q woman cannot take an intelligent interest," even a voting interest-in public affairs without necessarily neglecting her household and her children Every one who knows her a t all knows that her two children are the biggest fact on earth to her, and the biggest fac tor in her life, With both AIr and Mrs. Mccormick the children are a passion. The moment he hits the front door in the evening, MT. Me Cormick makes a beeine for the nursery, and there is one high old time with the youngsters. And neither politics nor parties, neither sociology nor society, in both of which, being q woman of catholic tastes, Mrs Mccormick takes an intelligent inter est, is allowed to interfere with the hours set aside for the kiddies. While the kiddies, should occasion arise, interfere with any engagement their mother may have.

merce, in figures compiled for July
last, shows that the foreign trade Of
that port has fallen from SAC. 0.164 900
for July, 1918, to SS5. .056, 900 for July,
1919. Imports showed a gain from
s22 1926 900 to s2s,44s,0OO, while ex-
ports showed loss from SIT 1885, 900
to s6,6O7 900. On the whole this means
a loss by displacement Of domestic
goods and decreased sales of about
s17, 100000 for the month. The in
crease in imports from China end Jap
an for July, 1919, compared with July,
1918, is somewhat startling, those from
the former jumping from $S68,OO0 to
s4,S34 900, and those from the latter
from s1,075 900 to S10.156, 900; while
exports show a falling off to the form

latter from S2,119, 900 to s524 900. Now

STATE LEVIES
Democratic Press Vainly Trying to
Make an Issue out Of Nothing.

The dearth Of material that the
democratic papers can find to attack
the Shoup administration is evident
from the prominence they give to the
great raise as they call it of frac-
ton of mill in state taxes. The main
item of this raise is the levy for state
highways Of S75O,OOO, and this had to
be made or the state would lose 81 ,500,-
900 of the funds apportioned to Colo
RADIO for state highways provided the
state and counties would put up an
equal amount. The balance of the
raise is to meet the expense OF the
blind benefit act voted b. the peo-
pie of the state under the initiative
and referendum, and the debts Great
ed by Governor Gunter's war board.
The needs of the state roads are too
great to lose any part of the funds
voted by Congress and the state tax
board could do nothing but raise the
levy So as to secu;s funds to meet
the states proportion.
