NyEws Of the resignation Of Mrs.
~ Irvine l.. Lenroot as president Of
the Congressional Club came as a
shock to her friends in Washington.
Mrs. Lenroot has been such an ex-
ceedingly capable chief OF the club
and its activities and interests have
advanced with such rapidity since
she took II In hand that her resig-
nation seems an irreparable loss.
Her successor. however, Mrs.
Joseph Frelinghuysen. though not
SO well known In Washington. has
ALREADY, in her connection with the
club proven her ability to carry on
Mrs. Lenroot's good work. She has
been first vice president during
Mrs. Lenroot's term of ONCE and Is
thoroughly in sympathy with the
latter's plans and hopes for the
organization.

Next to the White House, the

to the Speaker of the House and
his wife and a particularly brilliant
reception in honor of the diplo-

Dances, card parties and many
private entertainments. with a
weekly tea and program OF ente-
tainment each Friday, add to the
interest of the club, while as a
place for Congressional women TO
entertain privately it Is unexcelled.
Only at the urgent request of
members of the club has Mrs. Len

elected. during the past season. and

city the captains took their ships out
of Odessa harbor and sold them TO

flag. The Soviet contends the sale
was illegal, not only because the prop

chant ship can be sold in war time
without consent of the state whose

made up, and that the breeehes
began to be stopped. then they
were very wroth.
And conspired all Of them to-

against Jerusalem, and to hinder
It.
Nevertheless we made our
prayer unto our God, and set a
watch against them day ana
night. because of them
And Judah said: The strength
of the bearers of burdens is de-
cayed, and there Is much rub
bish; SO that we are not able to
build the wall.
And our adversaries said: They
shall not know. neither see. till
we come in the midst among
them. and slay them. and cause
the work to cease.
And IL came to pass that when
the Jews which dwelt by them
came. they said unto us ten
times, From all places whence ye
shall return unto us they will be
upon you.
Therefore set 1 in the lower
places behind the wall, and on
the higher places. / even set the
y people after their families with
their swords, their spears. and
their bows.
And / looked. and rose up. and
said unto the mobiles, and to the
rulers. and to the rest of the
people. Be not ye afraid OF them:
remember the Lord. which is
great and terrible, and fight for
your brethren your sons, and
your daughters. your wives and
your houses.
And II came to pass. when our
enemies heard that it was known
unto us. and God had brought
their counsel to nought. that we
returned all of us to the waii,
every one unto his work.
And " came to pass from that
time forth. that the half of my

and the other half of them held
