in the five fields: Religion. art
and letters, education. science and
politics.
For the afternoon session all ma
tional sections are urged to select
a topic which will best show the
most solid contribution of women
of their country to Q movement
Of vital concern to their nation.
This topic should have some spe-
cial significance, however, to the
opportunity afforded for the de-
velopment of a better pan-Amer-
lean understanding. After papers
are read by three of the most
prominent women in each Of the
countries, opportunity will be
given for open discussion. Each
national section is urged in the
notice of the meeting to adopt
some resolution with recommen-
dations for carrying forward in
the most effective manner the
work to which the topic for dis
sion refers.
The evening session will be
given over to. ''The Call of the
Future to Pan-American Women;
how they can: best organize their
efforts to contribute their part to-
ward the purpose of the pan
American ideal.
Men interested in international
relations will be invited to this
session and as the government Of
Peru will be host for the next pan
American scientific congress. the
Peruvian representative in each
country will receive a special in
vitation.. The minister of foreign
relations in each country also will
be invited to speak, and addresses
will be delivered by women repre-
senting national organizations in
terested In work of an interna-
tional character and by the women
representative Of some interna-
tional organization whose scope is
not confined to pan-America.
It will be recalled that when the
first pan-American conference OF
women was held in Washington In
connection with the second pam
American scientific congress (De-
cember %. 1s15-January z. 1870
a committee of American women,
designated as the women's aux
iliary committee of the United
states Of the second pan-Amerfcan
scientific congress. was formed for
the purpose Of perpetuating the
international organisation Of pan
American women. Under its di-'
rection. national sections Of the in
ternational organisation have been
formed in the American republics.
This auxiliary committee is super

ences, but the arrangements are
being left to the various sections

that the conference Of the United

BY rather strange coincidence
the meetings Of the national sec
tions Of the pan-American inter-
national committee Of women are
arranged on a plan similar to that
followed recently by the inter-,
American high commission in CALI

in the South American capitals for
discussion of economic problems.

As to the appearance Of the

people. has been a problem with
which Albert Bacon Fall. Secretary
Of the Interior. has wrestled for
the last eleven months. In order.
to have first-hand information
Secretary Fall has spent weeks
and months travelling through the
public land states Of the west
visiting reclamation projects. ma
tional parks. Indian reservations
and the other domain under control
of the department.
The Secretary is. no new hand
in the west. Although he Is a
Kentuckian by birth. he has spent
many years in New Mexico and
other western states. He has
worked as farmer, rancher and
miner. He has been interested In
mines. lumber lands and railroads.
So he has wide knowledge Of
conditions in the west to start
with. '- ~
The Interior Department. or.
home department" as it was called
in the act Of 1s49 establishing the
then new executive department,
comes in close contact with
greater number of American
citizens than any other Its primary
object Is to aid in the develop
ment Of the country and its re-
sources. And this Secretary Fall
bears constantly in mind.
At this point it may be as we'll
to refer briefly to the activities Of
the department and the vast prop
critics over which it has control.
The public land area Of the United
States is approximately 1926. 900
acres. exclusive of those areas un-
appropriated and unreserved in
Alaska. Quite a bit Of room. it
appears. for Americans to move
about in even now. The area un-
reserved and unappropriated Is
set down as 200.s20. 900 acres, while
reservations and Withdrawals have
an area Of about 232.944,000 acres.
The latter are divided among ma
tional forests, national parks. ma
tional monuments, Indian reserva-
tions and Carey act Withdrawals.
The Interior Department has juris-
diction in the case Of lands in the
national forests only when thrown
open and has jurisdiction over
mines and mineral claims and
agricultural entries upon such
reserves.

Secretary Fall has had prepared
a partial estimate Of the national
estate" The total value of this
estate the estimate shows to be
about $150,0o0, 100000. The govern
ment. however. is estimated to re-
ceive from this estate some $12,-

receipts will largely be in royals
ties from coal mining, oil and
phosphate developments, etc. But
II tho entire estate were devel-
oped there would be an addition
of about $15ooOO.O0O.O to the
wealth of the United States. The
royalties will come to the United
States under the so-called Goa. |.
and oil lands leasing act, which
is still in its infancy. Land values
In the public domain are set down
by Secretary Fall somewhat as
follows: Present value of vacant
lands subject to entry. 100000
900; value OF national forest lands.
$1,000, 100000, and value Of Indian
reservation minerals. $5.S00,000,0 900.
or a total of $7.110.000,000

be practically incomprehensible.e

TOR the first time since its
H organization, Ave years ago,
the Pan-American Interna-
tional Committee Of Wom-
en-, created by the women's aux
iliary committee of the United
States of the Second Pan-Ameri-
can Scientific Congress. will hold
simultaneous meetings of its ma
tional sections in the various capi-
tails of North and South America.
The date has been set as October
~, 1922. and the suggested pro-
gram is embodied in the call for
the conferences now being sent
out from Washington by the wom-
ems auxiliary committee, of.whfch
Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes is
chairman. s,..
In many ways this series OF
meetings promises to become
unique in the history of pan-Amer-
can relations. 1t will be the first
time women of the American re-
publics ever assembled in their
respective capitals on a given d9ee
for the discussion of what women
have done, are doing and may do
to bring about better understand
ing between their countries. It
will provide one of the best oppor-
tunities ever presented for obtain
ing the views of women of the
Americas on subjects in which
they are mutually interested. It
will pave the way for the perfect
ed organization Of an International
body of representative women Of
North and South America.
The statements of Mrs. Hughes
and Of Mrs. Robert Lansing, chair
man Of the women's auxiliary COM
mittee and of the United States
section Of the Pan-American In
ternational Committee Of Women,
show the interesting aspects Of
the forthcoming conferences.
Mrs. Hughes says: There was
never u lAIhO "ASA
friendliness was of greater impor-
tance than now, and I feel. deeply,
that these sectional conferences
will further more friendly rela-
tions and harmonious cooperation
among the women of the Americas.
They cannot fail to create q bet
ter understanding and a larger
sympathy-thus placing their in
ternational interests upon q more
enduring basis"
Mrs. Lansing, In her statement,
said: '"rhe pan-American interna-
tional conference Of women was
formed in the belief that the or
ganized women Of the three Amer
icas can greatly aid in furthering
inter-American good will. This be-
lief has been justified in many
ways since the organization Of the
committee.

MAKING RESOURCES OF NATION
MORE VALUABLE TO THE PEOPLE

through the bureau of education.
Since the new administration
came in March 4. 1921, and secre-
tary Fall took charge within a
day or two following the change,
1t has been his object. first, to
learn where the service could be
improved, and, second. to improve
it. Due, perhaps. to conditions
growing out of the war and the
adjustment period Immediately
thereafter, the work in some OF
the bureaus of the department was
considerably behind hand. Secre-
tary Fall found that the admins
tration of the general land once
had not been as satisfactory u
many settlers as it should nave
been, He gained an impression
that entirely too much red tape
has been used and too many teen
nlcalities placed in the way Oh
settlers seeking final patents 10
homestead entries. He discoverea'
for instance, that some ls'ou"
cases were pending before the
General land Office, in which pat
ants had not been issued. although
enal proof had been made ana
final certificates issued by the ioca'
Offices.
y +
Tn this connection it may be SAID
that in the last ninety days about
$4,000 of these cases nave Deeh
finally handled and patents nave
,ssued to the homestead entrymen.
This means that each OF these
homesteaders has added to his re-
sources an average Of $500. They
have taken title to their homes,
are able to raise money on them II
need be or sell them. This means
in turn, that some s27.ooo.ooo has
been added to the available weaith
Of the people.
Another instance where the new
administration Of the home oe-
partment" has speeded up with
good results for the people Is
found In the pension office. ltwas
discovered that ss.1oo claims for
pensions were pending when Sec
rotary Fall took hold. It. was
found, too. that very little progress
was being made except for the al
lowance Of current claims. 1t De-
gan to look as though many thou
sands Of these prospective PEN
sioners would die before their end
ing claims could be reached in the
ordinary course of business in the
bureau.
Secretary Fall in this case. fol-
lowed a plan which he has adopted
Of concentrating forces particu-
larly upon those bureaus and dtvi-
sions Of the department which are
behind or need attention. In con-
sequence, in a period Of eight
months there were handled In tho
pension Office some $4,000 claims,
as compared to about $4,000 in
