WORLD POWERS
GATHER TO WIPE
ARMS OFF SLATE
Limitation of Armaments Con.
ference Opened in Washing-
ton Peace Palace at Noon
Today
(By Associated press1


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Fraught
with untold possibilities, the arma-
ment conference assembled at noon
today in the Pan-American Peace
Palace.
Gathered about the table were the
chosen representatives of the five
great world powers-the United
States, Great Britain, Italy, France
and Japan.
Seated with them were representa-
tives of the nations which will parti-
cipate in the discussions of the Far
Eastern and Pacific questions
China, Belgium, Netherlands and
Portugal
In the background were the many
technical advisers who accompanied
each group-several hundred in all
representing the army and the navy
as we'll as the fiscal and economic
aspects.
In world Importance, the gathering
ranks with the peace conference of
Versailles. the conferences for dis
armament at the Hague, and going
farther back the congress of Vienna,
which thought it was working to pre-
serve the peace of Europe.
The work of the Washington con-
ference naturally divides into two
principal phases: the limitation of
armaments and the settlement of
questions in the Far East and the
Pacific, which statesmen fear may
have in them the makings of war.
Which will be considered first, the
conference alone can determine, but
there seems to be little disagreement
over statement that the two ques-
tions are indissolubly linked, and that
neither can be disposed of without
relation to the other.
In the viewpoint of the American
government, an agreement on the Pa
cific and Far Eastern questions will
point the way to solution of the
armament questions, because with
probable causes for war out of the
way, the need of heavy armaments
will disappear.
Japan, however, leans to the feel
ing that the armament question
should be first disposed of, and that
some of the subjects contained in the
program of discussion of Far East
ern and Pacific affairs should not
come before the conference but rath-
er should be disposed of in negotia-
tons between Japan and the countries
concerned. No one can forecast how
that part of the program will be
worked out. And upon how it is
worked out depends much of what
will come of the conference.
The American viewpoint, as it had
been expressed by those with author
ity to speak for the government, is
that the United States enters the
conference asking absolutely nothing
for itself and seeking only to relieve a
taX-burdened world, now making a
great economic waste in fear of war
The American government, it should
be said, denies no nation it's "place in
the sun" or its opportunity for expan.
sion; neither does it have any notion
of asking any nation to dispense with
the means by which it assures rs
reasonable safety.
1t seeks only, it may be said by the
same authority, to remove troubles
which, although now little, might il
the future grow great, and by doine
that make heavy preparations fo,
war unnecessary. Having done that
if it can be accomplished, Americ'
hopes to point the way to reduction
Of armaments which will be fair an,
lust to all.

SOCIETY GIRL
NOW MODESTO
Irene MacIver's Self-De-
signed Clothes Start Her
Toward Success
MANY WOMEN
USE HER IDEAS

NEW York; took less than
half a yard Of checked gingham to
start Miss Irene MacIver on the high
road to success. Now she has her
own shop. Is the head Of an incor-
porated firm and has TO work day
and night to keep up with her orders.
All this happened within the short
space Of three months. Miss Mac
Iver is 22. Her achievement is an
example Of what a girl can do II she
concentrates on her one best talent
and puts It into business harness.
First, that material had to be
metamorphosed into a nifty little
collar and cuff set. Some studied
slashes with the scissors, a few
curves instead OF corners, a lot Of
stitches, and the set was made. II
was a birthday gift for friend who
had been a schoolmate. Others saw
them and wanted similar sets. A
girl friend who needed to earn money
proposed to Miss MacIvor that she
he allowed to take some orders. She
knew a lot of girls who wore very
nice clothes and wanted distinctive
things.
Perhaps you might as well take
orders for blouses, too" suggested
Miss MacIver, who found herself
suddenly speculating on how very
exciting It would be TO plunge into
the alluring adventure OF business.
The orders came in so thick and fast
that Miss MaeIver had to move the
business out OF her home into a shop.
Ever since then she has been wearing
look Of wide-eyed wonder which
Is very becoming.
All the years she was a schoolgirl
AZ Ladycliffe-on-the- Hudson. and In
the last couple of years when she
has been playing about in society,
Irene MaoIver's creative impulse
found expression IN the smart and
original clothes she designed and
made for herself She never took
a lesson in design. never made any
special study OF art.
Last winter Miss MacIver rented
one very small room on a second
floor Her office equipment consists
Of a mirror. bureau, two chairs
and some hangers on hooks The
bureau drawers are filed with
blouses. dresses. collars and cuffs
and some handmade ribbon hats
A surfeit Of colors swings from the
hooks-Earments OF dotted swiss
gingham, handkerchief linen, batiste
chiffon and new materials.
At first the proprietress did al
the work Then the tyranny Of cir
oumstances made it necessary foi
her 20 hire some helpers. Will

could handle them and women want
ing her advice on what TO buy, other
women asking her to do their shop
ping in addition to designing and
making their clothes. Miss MacIver
decided that she ought to have an
Office assistant to stay there when
she had to go to the stores or on
trips Of inspection to a workroom
in the neighborhood.
What business experience have
you had2" she asked a young wo-
man who applied for the position Of
assistant
"None." was the truthful con-
fession.
"Well, 1 can't conscientiously hold
that against you" said the boss.
"You see, l have not had any busi-
ness experience, either. You'll have
to excuse me because I really do not
know how 20 hire anyone. never
did It before. But l do want some
one here who will treat all my pa
irons as if they were real human
beings and old friends whose wishes
must be respected in every detail"
They came to a business arrange
ment and now the assistant keeps
shop In the afternoon.
Perhaps. one reason why I am so
successful" speculated Miss Mac
liver, "ls because like 10 sew and
make pretty things more than any
thing else in the world. l do not
know anything more satisfactory
than making women look beautiful
and seeing them dressed in the
colors they ought to wear.
Sometimes a woman orders a
blouse or dress. changes her mind
and decides that what she really
wants is something entirely differ
ent. Women are like that, you
know. But 1 don't mind in the
least. l am so glad to have the
original garment back in stock, be-
cause my customers keep the shop
stripped most OF the time"
While she talked she sewed on a
one-piece dress Of batiste in alter
nate stripes OF white and cerlse, the
two oolors being joined with an in
sertion OF fancy stitches. There
are some things paid helpers can do
and some things they just can't, "
she regretted.

A WISE SELECTION.

From the Dover State News
Senator T. Coleman DUPONT made
a wise selection, and one that should
merit the approval OF all Deiawar-
cans regardless OF their politics,
when he named Jonathan Brown, of
Wilmington. to be his secretary at
Washington.
Senator dupont could not have
found a more competent and able
man in the State and the fact that
he named Mr.. Brown despite the
fact that the latter has always been
siaunch Democrat. indicates that
in his selection of a man for this
Office the Senator was actuated
solely by motives OF efficiency rather
than the rewarding of some political
worker.
Not only is Mr.. Brown a COM
petent man through his natural
ability, but his six years experience
at Washington, as secretary TO
former Senator Willard SALISBURY.

man in that position. Mr.. Brown
