Secretary of Labor Davis was on the
platform beside President Harding and
Secretary Hoover, but was not called on
, to give the conference the benefit of his
opinions.
AT the conclusion of his address Sec
rotary Hoover suggested that a motion
be made providing for the appointment
of a committee organization and pro-
gram. Charles P. Neill of Washington,
manager of the Southeastern Railways
! Association, made the motion and it was
adopted. Mr.. Hoover then named COM
mittee of ten members, with Charles S.
Robinson of Los Angeles, former mem
Der of the United States Shipping Board,
as chairman. One labor man, Matthew
Woll, vice president of the American
Federation of Labor, was named on this
committee.
The conference then adjourned without
single delegate having been given op-
view upon the subject of unemployment.
The session had opened at 1890 and
closed at 1880
The conference met again at P M.
in the council room on the seventh floor
of the Department of Commerce build
ing Chairman Robinson of the COM
mittee on organization and program read
report creating ten committees to orr
ginate, study and recommend practical
measures for meeting the unemployment
situation.
These committees are: Unemployment
statistics, unemployment agencies and
registration, emergency State and NUM-
cipal measures and public works, emer-
gency measures by manufacturers, emer-
gency measures in transportation, emer-
gency measures in construction, e1ner-
gency measures in mining, emergency
measures in shipping, and public hear
ings.
This report was adopted without a
word of debate and the conference ad-
journed to meet again on Wednesday,
October 5, to hear reports from such
committees as are then ready to submit
recommendations. The afternoon session
lasted exactly IS minutes and the total
time consumed by the two sessions, morn

its appeal will afford you a heart throb
such as comes only when you touch the
finger tip to your own pulse.
In the story of "The Blot" Lois Weber
has illustrated a situation dealing with
al: underpaid teacher She depicts the
wife and daughter, how the wife, des-
perate and in need of food and clothes
for their sick daughter, is on the verge
of becoming thief. The picture in it's
plot and story reveals message that is
vital!
THE Blot stands foremost among
such great productions by Lois Weber
as "Where Are My Children" Shoes"
Borrowed Clothes" "The Price of a
Good Time" and other pictures that have
made this producers name a household
word.
Included in the setting cast of sThe
Blot are the names of such we'll known
players as Claire, Windsor, Louis Cal
horn, Marie Walcamp, Philip Hubbard
and Margaret McWade, while a host of
other capable actors and actresses ap-
pear IN the many minor roles
nrasr rtrou s attrastive is the special
Sunday evening. As is we'll known Pal
ace attractions for Sunday evening are
booked especially for that program and
are shown at other time The fact
that two hrst-run productions are shown
combination with films of shorter length.
which include brand new news weeklies
and bright, amusing comedies, are fea-
lures that playgoers are not overlooking
when selecting the place for their Sun
day evening entertainment. In addition
to the finest pictures obtainab1e the Pal
ace also presents a wonderful musical
program, featuring its famous orchestra
and its fine organ.
The two big features for Sunday eve
ing are Frank Mayo in "The Shark
Master. and Eileen Sedgwicl and Joe
Moore in False Brands-'' The first of
TINS double feature attraction is drama
III winch the most wonderful and Strik-
ing of marine scenes are filmed. THE
Shark Master" is a tale of the South
Seas and it affords opportunity for an
audience to fairly reve1 in the excitement
and thrills for which stories surrounded
by this atmosphere are noted. A tropic
hurricane at sea, burning ship in mid
ocean and the sinking of a huge liner are
among the thrilling scenes in this COM
pell1ng screen drama.
In the second feature of the program
Palace audiences will find "False Brands"
with scenes many and varied as the plot
of the fine picture sweeps from the cam
pus of middle western college to the
widest regions of Wyoming. From the
atmosphere of college life it is only a
step on the screen to the excitement and
thrills of a cattle ranch. The thrills in
particular come a plenty when the youth
from college takes matters in hand to
clean UP band of cattle rustlers. Toe
Moore is a younger member of that
screen famous family of Moores, and
has all the ability that has made them
a family of stars.
One thing that the Palace vaudeville
bill will offer for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday is fun for the simple reason
that the program is gathering of some
of the best known makers of jollity in
the ranks of variety. Bobby O'Neil and
Company are leaders in comedy max

playing, and if they bumped into her
by mistake she would say:
"tDear me, are you running races,
or are you thinking I'm the goal?'
"Often she would take children out
for walks, and it would have been
hard for any one to decide whether
the children or Katharine Byrd had
! the better time.
They always loved to go anywhere
with her. What fun she was! How
they loved to talk to her.
Boys and girls-all loved her! She
was always such fun, so ready to en-
ter into anything like a picnic or a
walk or a storytelling time.
And to take hold of Katharine
Byrd's hand and walk with her was
just the beginning of something mighty
nice-everyone knew that.
"She had many, many friends, and
how they loved her!
"She lived alone in a city apart
ment. but she often used to go out of
the apartment, as I've told you, for
walks and picnics into the country
and often, too, she would walk
into the city park and join In with a
group Of children in feeding peanuts
to the ever-hungry squirrels.
"Next to children Kathryn Byrd
loved birds. Now her name was
spelled differently from the way that
a birds name is spelled who flies in
the air.
But there seemed to have been
a. wonderful, understanding between
Katharine Byrd and real birds.
"She had had a canary for years
and years who had grown very, very
old, so old that after a time his little
birds days were over with.

bird so much. She missed his bright,
good morning and she thought the
