THE American girl IL pretty and

smoke In cafes, In hotels and even

This IL a brief estimate of the girls

Mrs. c. r. J. Glover. of Adelaide.
South Australia. wife of one OF the
seven lord mayors of the British
Empire. who has been In Washing
ton with her husband on q trip
around the world. Four of the lord
mayors are in the British Isles, while
three are in Australia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glover are making
the trip to study good roads and Ma
sonic styles of architecture, being
especially interested in the home OF
the Scottish Rite. on Sixteenth street.
The vast population, the conditions
OF the country roads and the parking
systems of the city from San Fran
cisco eastward are the things that
impressed the lord mayor mostly.
"Your huge population impressed
me most. for you must remember that
the whole of Australia contains less
people than your great city Of New
York, and not only in numbers. but in
courtesy Americans set a high mark.
and one OF the most attractive at
tributes is the willingness to answer
questions and even go out of the way
to aid a stranger In the city.
Il have never. seen anything more
beautiful than the parks. We rode

greater attractiveness for beauty
than some of the other places where
the suburban reservations are SO
wonderful.

CONDITIONS TERRIBLE.
Contrary to recent erroneous reports
of improved and fairly satisfactory
conditions" the committee stated, 'au-
thentic word by letter and cable which
has just arrived from missionary lead
ers and others in the five famine
stricken provinces of northern China
indicates situation of hunger. dis
ease and death involving millions of
people who have not yet been reached.
I'm addition to all that America
has already done, several million
dollars must go to China in quickly
following instruments during the
next few weeks. Otherwise much
that has been done VIII, after all,
be lost. Unless our help, in largely
increased measure, can be continued,
these wretched people in their ex-
IRENE desperation will eat the grow
ing crops and thereby project into
another year the famine condition.
ITO keep these millions alive dur
irg the next few weeks is the un-
finished portion of our task"
