MISS bRANDE|S
FULLY SUITED
F0R:NEW tasks
Daughter Of Supreme Court
Justice Had Apprenticeship
In Wage Board.

Miss Elizabeth Brandeis, daughter
Of Justice Louis b. Brandeis, likes to
be doing something" She won't fritz
ter her time away at teas and social
functions. And because you can't
keep a good "man" down, and be-
cause she seemed the most likely cam
didate for the position she has Just
been appointed secretary to the Dis
trict Minimum Wage Board. This DO
sition carries asalary of $500 a
year.
The question Immediately arose in
some minds as to why society girl
was appointed to a position involving
the settlement Of the manifold prob
lens relating to the working girl.
What did society girl know about
such matters?
VOL Suited 10 Task.
A short interview with Miss Bran
deis revealed that she knows in ono
second ten times more than the av-
erage intellectual" which is prob
ably little CONGRATULATIONS the
problems of the working girl and her
duties of her new office.
In the first place she never went
in" strong for society, although her
position as daughter of a Justice OF
the United States Supreme Court,
fully entitled her to take her place
in the social whirl. And then. be-
sides, she Is a college girl and a stu
dent Of economies. And then, IL a
everybody only knew II, she has been
a clerk for the very same Minimum
Wage Board for the past two years.
and as such is not only fully quail
fled to assume her new duties, but
is already thoroughly familiar with
them.
Miss Brandeis is a graduate OF Rad.
cliffe college, the sister college to
Harvard. There she specialized OH
economics, a subject which she says
has always been of absorbing interes
to her. She says that the problems
arising from the Minimum Was
Board are of an economic nature an
in this her training has served as
background for her work. She alsc
worked on the War Labor Policies
Board during the war.
''I like to be doing something" sal

Of CIVILIZATION
Britain's Boast of Far-FIung
Possessions Dimmed by For
eign Service Students.

Great Britain's boast that the ''sun
never sets on English soil' has moth.
ing on the claims OF the Georgetown
University School of Foreign Service.
Within two years since its estab.
lishment the foreign service school
has sent forth students and graduates
to every civilized corner Of the globe.
From the coral strands of India to
siberia's ice floes; from the land of
the Incas to distant China and
Japan, the Hilltop authorities are
rightly claiming that, indeed. the sun
never sets on Georgetown soil.
Four More to Start.
Four additional students are pre-
pairing this week to plant George
towns flag in distant lands. When
Colonel Haskell. appointed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover to take
charge of the feeding OF Russia's
starved thousands. he will take with
him as private secretary one Of the
youngest students of the foreign
service school.
. George Townsend. twenty-five years
old, OF Baltimore, is the lucky
youngster. He studied Russian at the
GEORGETOWN school, and Is thoroughly
posted on Russian affairs, so that his
selection came as no surprise to the
school authorities. Incidentally, Mr..
Townsend had Just left Georgetown to
enter the consular service, resigning
therefrom to take the position with
Colonel Haskell on the selief commits
sion.
Another Georgetown student leaves
soon for Bombay, India, as an assist
ant trade commissioner for the De-
partment OF Commerce. Several other
Georgetown boys already are in India
for private commercial concerns.
Paul Steintorf. OF Chase City. Va, is
the latest to go from the school. He
was sent by Georgetown with other
students last summer to make an in
vestigation Of economic conditions in
Cuba.
Emil Kekich, whose home is In
Alton, ILL.,, another student Of the for
eign service school. is about to depart
for Vladivostok, for the Department
of Commerce.
Goes to Germany.
Now that the German government
has signed the peace treaty with the
United States, 1t Is expected trade
channels will be kept constantly open,
and for this reason the Department
of Commerce has sent Charles Il.
Herring to Berlin as American trade
commissioner. Mr.. Herring took with
him as his assistant Il, j. Eichel-
berger, a Georgetown Foreign Service
School student. He halls from Wor-
cester, Mass.
1t is announced that several George.
town students have been with the
American embassy In Japan since last
year. and that commercial concerns
have sent others to Russia, China,
and other sections OF the old Continent.
Only last week I. G. Semeniouk. one
of the students, left for Russia to
enter the Soviet government foreign
service school in Moscow.

FRANCE AND ITALY
IN BITTER RIVALRY
BY CONDO
BY j. w. T. MASON

NEW YORK. Dec. Italian and
French naval discord is coming into
prominence at the disarmament con-
ference to a disturbing degree.
France and Italy are now engaged in
a struggle as to which shall become
dominant Latin power in Europe.
All the bitterness between the two,
which is increasingly emphasized at
Washington, is due to this rivalry.
Both powers have thriving colonies
on the north African coast and as
a result of the war both have &C
quired rival mandates in Asia Minor.
France is engaging in diplomatic ad-
ventures in southeastern Europe, de-
signed to subordinate Italian inf1u'
ence in that part of the world which
the Italians believe is their own
sphere of influence.
Italy insists that her geographical
position makes her entitled to SUI
preme naval strength in the Mediter'
ranean. France is resisting this
argument because the Mediterranean
is the pathway to the French colo
MES.
The French army leaders have
spoken disparagingly Of Italy's mill
tary ability on various occasions
since the ending of the war. Ital
ian resentment against what Italy
calls French conceit has been fairly
boiling over.

plete satisfaction with the work of

Walter L. Brown, the European di-
rector who has arrived here on his
way to Riga.
"I came to Moscow" he said, "to

pressions are excellent. We are
feeding 100000 persons and in JAN
uary we shall feed 100000. We

food than in Austria or Poland.

feed a child. Our feeding program
until the next harvest will call for
$12,O00,O00. If we could feed about
100000 children in the famine area
no children that can be reached
would die. Whether we shall be
able to feed that many depends upon
the support from home. The feed
ing of adults and the supplying OF
seed are serious problems. We have
not discussed them with the Soviet
officials, because it is not within
our province. Much help can be
given by sending food drafts which
add to the food supply in Russia
at cheaper prices. A man receiving
a draft told us that the food obtain
ed in this way would have cost 5O
per cent more in, the Moscow mar
ket. We shall recommend the ex'
pansion of the relief work in Rus

way we can help in the economic re
construction of the entire world"
