WOMEN'S CITY CLUB
LAUNCHES DRIVE TO
DOUBLE ITS ROSTER
diplomatic Teas" to
BE Feature of
Program.

THE Women's City Club is
launching a drive to double
it's membership and the campaign
will begin timorrow.
Sounds like large order, does
mt it? But just wait until III"
members, under the leadership Of
the president, Mrs. Lyman i
Swormstedt, get TO work. Teams
OF ten each are being organized,
with a member OF one nf the
standing committees at the mead,
and they are starting out TO
canvass the town.
When the Womens City Club
was organized, its membership
was as large as could be digested.
But this was in war time and.
as war work came to an end and
war workers left for their homes,
the membership naturally scaled
down until it was decided 10
start a membership campaign.
Since it's birth. the Women's
City Club has been a power for
good in the community and it
offers many advantages TO its
members. The civic section is par
ticularly active and compre-
henslve and ambitious program
is being laid down for the win
ter's work. A new music section
is being formed and a dramatic
section, so that members may
look forward to a variety Of en-
tertainment.
There's a dining room, ds you
doubtless know, and a delight
full grill, where members may en-.
tertain guests. The forum lunch
cons, which were so interesting
feature of last years calendar.
will be resumed, being held fort.
nightly. and first rate speakers
are being lined up.
Then, by way OF something
new, there will be a series of
diplomatic teas, with the wives
of various members OF the diplo-
matte corps as the special guests
upon special occasions. The first
of these teas is TO be held this
month. I believe.

dents presence in Washington
when Congress is not sitting: and
just now there seems to be a good
deal that requires his presence
elsewhere. He seems to have been
drafted for very active part in
the campaign-and has dates to
speak in many States during the
next month. But even without
Mrs. Coolidge. It seems likely that
there will be some very important
official womcn-including as many
of the Cabinet women as are in
town-in the receiving group OF
that reception.
A ND before I get quite away
from the conference.-the is
worth while noting that Sir Claude
Hill, secretary general OF the Inter.
national Red Cross League, is just
about due here. He sailed on the
Aquitania last Saturday-and from
all accounts they have run into
terrible hurricanes in mid-ocean so
It Is not unreasonable to suppose
he may be a bit delayed-and Is
headed for Washington "in con.
nection with his Red Cross duties"
presumably to attend the forthcom-
ing conference.
Sir Claude is a very distinguished
Britisher--a veteran of the Indian
civil service in which he spent
forty OF the best years of his life.
Two years ago he was selected
from large number OF candidates
for the post Of general secretary
and executive officer Of the Inter.
national Red Cross, and as such
makes his permanent home in
Geneva nowadays. There will OF
course be a lot OF entertaining for
him, both official and unofficial
when he gets here.

Mr.. Burton very appropriately calls
attention to the fact that the pro-
portionate increase since 1914 of debt,
and taxation in the United States has
been greater than that Of our princi-
pal associates who were engaged in
the war. There has been a general
tendency to accept the theory that
Europe alone is groaning under a
burden of debt and taxation. Under
our complicated system Of federal,
state, county and municipal taxes, it
is practically impossible to make def
mite comparisons, but it may reason
ably be doubted whether the people
of any of our associates in the war
are now paying more heavily into
public treasures than are the people
of the United States
Debt cancellation propaganda should
be earnestly resisted by every Amer
lean taxpayer and by every owner OF
United States bonds.

The test performance of a new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy SER
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
at Detroit, in which a new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
first pursuit ship of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
a departure from precedent. 1t uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. 1t is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance In the art Of cooling a motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance Of the air almost to zero.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, Is said to pos
seas, also, q new feature, IN that the
entire machine can be stored for a

ship SUBSIDY HAS
SUPPORT RANSDELL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 81
How government operation of ship
ping had strikingly failed, was the
main theme of a comprehensive ad-
dress in favor of the ship subsidy
bill, made by Joseph E. Ransdell,
Democrat, Louisiana, in the Senate
etoday. IHe told how the experiment
had worked in Canada and Australia,
as well as in the United States, and
called the attention of the Senate TO
figures from the last annual report
,@f the SPanama Railroad Steamship
Company, a government owned line,
which shows deficits for the last two
years.
Senator Ransdell, who is also presi-
dent of the National Merchant Marien
Association, discussed many import
ant sections of the shipping bill which
had been ignored heretofore in the
Senate debate. He laid especial
stress on the value of the 1925, 000,-
900 construction loan fund, the car
rying of half of the immigration in
American ships the carriage of gov
eminent stores in private vessels and
the interrelations of rail and water
traffic.
"The creation and maintenance of
an American merchant marine is a
business question:" said Senator
Ransdell. politics should not enter
