BY MARGARET b. DOWNING.

hlr- Dwight Whitney Morrow. who
IS chairman of the Air Service. is
frequently in Washington in per-
iornance of his duty and is becoming
familiar figure about the White
ffouSe. For like Mr.. StearnS. he is
now one of the Presidents S trusted
counSelors and was besides a classmate
ana tried and true buddy in the
amherst days. Although both Sen
ator ButleC and Mr. Stearns are alter.
nately assigned the role of being
fresldent Coolidge's most intimate
friend. those who have a chance to
see thlngS closely say that Mr.. Nor
roE Is the Executives all-around COM
nanlon and has been since both
eminent gentlemen entered their
majority. Mr.. Morrow is a native of
huntington, w. Va, and his intimacy
with the Chief Executive resulted
from the accident of their being
thrown together when they entered
amherst and later became roonmateS.
After taking the \. B. degree from
that ancient Massachusetts seat of
learning, Mr.. Morrow studied law in
Columbia and began his brilliant legal
career in New York City in a modest
capacity in law firm. He is now
one of the powerful members of the
j. Pierpont Morgan firm and direc-
tor of the Bankers Trust.
Mrs. Morrow, who sometimes ac
companies her husband to Washing
ton. was Miss Elizabeth Reeve Cutter
OF Cleveland Ohio. and their marriage
took place III 1903, two years before
the President and Mrs. Coolidge took
the step. Mr.. Morrow is genial and
adaptable and has filed many trying
posts with ease and success. He
prizes very highly an honor which
came as the result of his war activi-
lies in the military shipping and allied
board of supplies. This was the dis
tingulShed service medal awarded him
and presented by Gen. Pershing in 1919.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow have a beauti-
ful home at EnGlewood, y. j., and it
was their privilege to entertain Mr..
and Mrs. Coolidge very often in the
days before they reached their present
eminenCe.
The Congressional Club will open its
offlclal season after the SiXty-ninth
Congress convenes by a reception to
the three CongreSswomen who will
have then been seated in that body. OF
these Mrs. Julius Kahn is a charter
member and she will receive conspicu.
Gus honor from this club, which has
reached such heights in national i'm.
portance. Mrs. Kahn with II others
answered the first call TO form the
congressional Club and has been ac-
tive in its councils during the past
IL years. She represented the Pacific
Coast on the national board for five
years and has held other Offices Mrs
John Jacob Rogers of Massachusetts,
mas been member since she came to
Washington Il years ago, but she
has been always more partial to phil
anthroplC work than to social pleasure
and she is more identified with the
Red Cross service in Walter Reed
Hospital The Congresswoman from
New Jersey, Mrs. Mary E Norton.
VIII be invited into the club by a Spe-
cial ruling. Being neither wife,
mother. sister nor other member of a
legislators family, she would not be

into Congress.
: Prince Otto Won Bismarck, who has
returned to Washington for a few
days visit to his cousin, Baron Leo.
Dold Plessen, will soon be due in Rer-
in TO assume his legislative duties
as member for the district in which
the famous estate of the Iron Chan
cellor, Friedrichsruhe, is situated. He
is the chief heir of the splendid Bis
marck fortune, his father Prince Her
bert Bismarck, having died several
wears ago. and quite logically he be-
longs to the Monarchist party and is
one of the leaders of that wing OF
German politics. But through his
mother, daughter of Robert White
mead, the inventor of the torpedo he
has strong strain of English blood
and likewise a general sympathy with
the English-speaking races. He will
also inherit fortune from his moth
er from the Whitehead estate, the
principal and income of which has
been safely invested in London for
he three daughters of the inventor.
all OF whom had married Germans
before his death. The Whitehead tor
Dedo came into fame during the
RusSo-JapaneSe war, when the jap
anese, having purchased from their
British ally this terrible instrument
OF destruction, annihilated the entire
Russian fleet at Port Arthur. Baron
Leopold PleSsen (for he has dropped
The won" from his name) is the first
cousin of Prince Otto Won Bismarck
= and the son of the late Baron Leo
pold Won Plessen. who was for 10
years Immediately preceding the
World War the Kaiser's minister to
Athens. Baron Plessen has been
member of the German embassy staff
since shortly after diplomatic rela-
tons were resumed in 1922.
The Hon. Raoul Dandurand of Mon
treal, who has recently been elected
president of the League of Nations,
IS, like all prominent Canadians, we'll
known in Washington and in other
parts of this Republic. He is a ma
!, tive of the empire city of the Do
ninion and has resided there prac-
tically all his life. After the A. 3.
course at McCiill he studied in oxford,
Cambridge and on the Continent,
taking up law as a career. He is
one of the ornaments of the Canadian
bar and has been several times the
president of its legal association. In
this capacity he welcomed the Chief
Justice when that distinguished jurist
paid a courtesy visit to Montreal, and
Charles Evans Hughes, then Secre-
tary of State. when the Canadian bar
invited the American association to
he its guest. The president of the
League of Nations has been a Senator
from Montreal for some years and
he has since the inception of the
league been one Of it's most eloquent
champions and an ardent supporter
of it's principles. Canada, apart from
political differences, has always been
friendly to President Wilson's cher
, ished project, and there was much
rejoicing that the Dominion has been
honored in selection of the supreme
officer of that tribunal.
Washington theatergoers who are
s numerous and enthusiastic as any
in the country, will soon be called
TO Join the reform movement about
simplifying the program. Gothams
1nodish leaders have declared against
the existing page after page pro-
