PROTEST MUSIC TAX.

Members of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs are indignant over a
proposed measure in Congress TO levy
a discriminative tax on all musical in-
struments. This tax if passed would
legally place music in the luxury class
and would be a serious menace to the
development and progress of music in
America, musicians say.
Mrs. Marx Oberndorfer, chairman Of
the Division OF Music in the General
Federation, has written to all clubs,
urging the members to write Immediately
to their Senators and Representatives in
Congress, protesting against the passing
of such bill
The National Federation OF Women =
Clubs is probably the most powerful and
influential organization OF women In the
United States 1t hopes that its influ-
ence will have weight with Congress in
preventing the passage of the proposed
bill.

Armament Conference
Meeting.

Washington, Sept. 81 President
Harding will issue a proclamation soon
calling all citizens to join ON Novem-
Der IL, Armistice Day, in doing honor TO
the memory of the unknown soldier
whose body will be buried in Arlington
cemetery, and also 10 commemorate the
assembling of the conference on the
limitation of armaments, which will
meet in Washington
1t is the hope of the Administration
that national holiday may be observed.
so that all persons may give thought to
the import of the occasion Churches
which have suggested that Sunday,
November 6, be observed as tDisarma-
ment Sunday" will be asked to hold
services instead of November IL. Or
carnations which have planned to hold
meetings to awaken the nation to the
solemnitv of the hour will be encouraged
In their programs.
The present plan, as contemplated by
President Harding and his advisers, is
that no conference business shall be
transacted on the opening day. Instead,
it is hoped TO have the American and
foreign delegations merely assemble in

Americas unknown dead in the World

In this way representatives of all OF

This plan is favored by President
Harding. 1t is said, and there seem:
every probability that il will be putintC

mated rs the day of the opening Of tn,
conference. it had been decided to hav,
the body of an unknown soldier, killed II
the World War, buried in Arlington
cemetery on that day.
President Harding has received letter
from many church and womens organi

so appealed to the President that il wa
intimated yesterday that he would in
clude in his proclamation a request to tn
American people TO hold special meet
ings on that day in commemoration o
the country's dead and also to expires
hope for the successful outcome OF tn

All the letters and messages receive
by the President and relating to th

The Society for the Prevention Of /
Cruelty to Children has been working
In Delaware for many years. but for
the general public lts light has been
largely hidden under a bush el Few
persons outside Of those directly COM
nected with the organization know
much of the scope and value of It's
work throughout the state.
Miss Merle y. MscMahon, secretary
OF the society, has a variety Of calls
each day. ranging from the guidance
Of incorrigible girls to The profession
of abused chIldrcn. Her work is handi-
capped by the fact that she has no
assistants in lower Delaware who
could investigate cases and care for
the work there.
The record Of a typical day for Miss
Mac Mahou would be sonething like
the following.
The day began as usual In
the Municipal Court. where the sec

support for herself and her baby.
When found by the society the baby
was sick. cold. end almost starving.

cided, on evidence produced by the
society. that the mother and child
should be provided for.
Back in the Office in the Public
Building, Miss MacMahon was met by
a woman OF foreign birth with -four
tiny children. AS the mother could
not speak English her little son
