Mothers Assistance.

A bill to create a board Of mothers
assistance in the District of Columbia
has been introduced in the Senate by
Senator James w. Wadsworth, jr., of
New York. This desirable legislation
is sponsored by President Coolidge,
who, in his message to Congress. rec
commended that studious attention be
given to the subject.
With an aim to provide for desti-
tute children in the home rather than
institutions, enactment of the law
will establish a board Of five mem
bers, to whom all appeals for aid of
this character will be addressed.
Members of the board will receive
no compensation for their work ex'

A mothers assistance law is now in
successful operation in many of the
States. AS President Coolidge point
ed out, 1t now remains for Congress
to enact similar legislation here, and
little opposition to the measure is ex-
pected when it comes up H. the House
and Senate.

graceful lines, their exquisite work
manship. These qualities give them
permanent worth as works Of art, and
the fact that such should have been
produced spontaneously by the early
craftsmen of America and priced in
stinctively and whole-heartedly by
those who used them goes to show
that, after all. America was not set
tied by those who lacked refinement,
but rather by those who combined re-
finement with strength Of character
the pioneer spirit, the courage of con-

Americas best-known vehicle
was the Shenandoah. Hundreds OF
thousands have seen some Of the
country's crack" trains and giant
ocean liners; literally millions have
watched the silvery Shenandoah
steal silently across the sky, said
a bulletin today from the National
Geographic Society.

las the airship floated mystic

magnified cigar, wrapped in tinfoil,
with six tiny baskets suspended
from it.
INSIDE the covering was twenty
great gas bags, with total gas ca
pacity equal to the cubic contents
of a train Of 700 freight cars.
"These were interpreted with
from forty to seventy-eight gasoline
tanks and complement OF one-ton
water tanks.
This equipment was supported
by a metal framework, which was
a veritable maze of Orders, struts
and beams; there were 1900 struts
alone in the intricate design.
Alloy WonderOusIy Strong
"It is for this metal framework
that duralumin was used-an alloy
so light and strong that a girder
sixteen feet long could be balanced
on ones little finger, yet if the
tips were placed on blocks it would
bear the load of eight men sitting
upon 1t.
1.-THE engine could drive the craft
for more than two days and nights

OLD.FASHIONED BALL
GIVEN BY MRS. McLENNAN

An old-time country costume ball
was given by Mrs. John Stewart
McLennan, of Washington, at
Ashintully in birmingham, Mass,
last night for her daughter, Miss
Mildred NJ. Tytus. Two hundred
of the young set in Lenox and
Stockbridge danced the lance"s,
money musk, Virginia reel and
other figures to the music of the
Tyringhamllt Village Band. 1a The
birmingham Drum Corps led the
grand march.
The music room and library of
the great marble palace built by
Mrs. McLennan's first husband, the
late Robert Peyser Tytus, were
used for dancing. The winding
drives and the grounds were IL
lupinated with Chinese lanterns
and a thousand candles lighted the
villa.
Mrs. McLennan was dressed as
a visiting district nurse, Miss Mil
dred Tytus appeared as a farmers
wife and Miss Victoria S, Tytus as
a Rumanian peasant. There were
milk maids, David Harums, country
squires, village storekeepers, hay

the superheated steam condensed

Great Saving Results
This manufactured water com.

Formerly, as fuel was burned
the ship grew lighter and tended
to rise.
"Thereupon, the gas expanded,

enough helium to equalize the lift
Of the gas to the weight OF the
ship.
Even though helium cost has
been brought from a radium-like
luxury price to $S1 for 1000 cubic

had to valve on long trips was an
expensive operating item.

G.. Reiniger, sometime U. s. A,
has been temporarily assigned to
the State Department, but Outward
Grinstead' is to go to Dresden as
vice consul and Allan Dawson TO
Rio de Janeiro.
IT is now the policy of the State
Department to assign all incoming
recruits to the consular branch OF
the foreign service-on the theory,
nrobably, that a better opportunity
is offered there for valuable ground
work training. But since the pas
sage of the Rogers bill reorganiz-
inc the service, the two branches
are interchangeable, the plums OF
the 5inlomatic service being WITHIN
reoch of those who first draw the
undesirable places in the consular
seryice-and vice versa.
In sending young Allan Dawson
IN Rio. a singularly happy selec-
zion would seem to nave Deeh

Soyez and her daughter, MISS
Liiita. Dawson have for some time
been planning to spend the coming
year in Brazil, leaving mere IN the
