buzzing with gossip about 1t.
Mrs. C. c. Calhoun, its organizer and
first president. has resigned, and Mrs.
James Carroll Frazer has been elected

foundation will be mapped out by the
executive board Oh January J.
1t is understood that Mrs. Calhoun
handed in her resignation at the request
OF the executive committee. Mrs. J..
Borden Hartman Is said TO Fave been
the leader of the Opposition which took
exception to the manner in which some
of the business of the organization was
handled.
The first move of the Women's Ma
tional Foundation, under Mrs. Calhoun's
leadership, was to buy the Dean estate
crowning the Connecticut avenue hill
for temple Of womanhood," and to
become the headquarters of numerous
women's clubs, woman's hotel, a
municipal theater r opera house and
other handsome buildings. Already the
foundation mas representatives III n
thousand different towns. One of the
rumors Is to the effect that the new
officers purpose TO make 1t political
organization with Democratic leanings,
a rumor growing probably out of the
fact that Mrs. Hartman, who is men,
Der of the executive committee. Is one
of the organizers of tho Wilson Founda-
ton.
Some OF the members frankly express
the opinion that Mrs. Calhoun was rail-
roaded' out of her position. and con-

Most of the merchants, hotel men and

take the idea seriously. They were used
to attacks by fanatics and blue law
advocates, they said, and having man
aged to survive thus far, they hoped to
continue.
An official of one of the companies
doing the majority of outdoor adver-
tising in the city said he doubted
whether any such restriction could ever
be brought to pass. and recalled the un-
popularity of the dimming of Broadway
during a short period in the war, when
business people, theatcrSoers and others
pressingly urged a return to norma
conditions.
THE dimming of Broadway" he said
would mean the death knell of busines:
