"Career Men" Suggested
For Vacant Ambassa-
dorial Post
By JEAN ELIOT.

xExT to Cabinet making,
M prophesy as to diplomatic
IN appointments is Washing
toms favorite sport. And as Presi-
dent Coolidge has pledged himself
to the naming of an ambassador
to Japan, to succeed the late Edgar
A. Bancroft, as soon as he is conf
.fortably settled at home, discussion
is now rife.
If a career man" is chosen
and that's a policy to which the
president is favorably Inclined
bets are being made that it will be
Joseph C. Grew, Undersecretary OF
State; Hugh Gibson, minister to
Switzerland, Irwin B. Laughlin,
minister OF Greece. or Henry P.
FLETCHER, ambassador to Italy, who
was formerly ambassador to Bel
gium and who may aspire to make
81 swing around the ambassadorial
fcircle.
Irwin Laughlin, by the way. is in
BLISS, who completed the remodel
ing of his home, The Oaks, just
as he was leaving for a foreign
post-Sweden-and has never lived
in it. The Laughlin house, which
has a commanding site next Henry
Whites residence in Crescent place
and overlooks Sixteenth street, is
eone OF the show places of Wash
lington, q thing Of perfection in
architecture, planting and furnish
lings. But it was years in the
building and was not finished until
the Laughlins were on the eve OF
leaving for Athens and consequent
sly has never been occupied. Mr..
sLAughlin. who is one of the Pitts
sburgh Laughlins, is married to
Miss Therese Iselin. like the
sBlisses. the Laughlins have a large
fortune.

FORMER EMBASSY
ATTACHE COMING
FOR CONFERENCE

The question as to just who is
coming over for the Institute OF
Politics Is becoming somewhat con-
1usad. Announcements of the dele
cations OF one country or another
are made, then apparently for
gotten and new names are given
out. However, among the Britishers
already In this country, who are
definitely committed to the Insti-
tute and who will be given a warm
welcome in Washington, are Rob.
Art Spear Hudson, M. P, and his
charming American wife. It was
while he was serving with the
american embassy in Washington
that Mr.. Hudson was married to
Miss Hannah Randolph, daughter
OF Philip S. P. Randolph, of Phila-
delphia; and since then their visits
to America have been all too in
frequent. This time, however, they
came over early in order that they
might have time to visit various
friends and relatives and recently
they have been guests Of Mr. Ran
dolph at his summer home at
Narragansett pier.
Mrs. Hudson's sister, Mrs Dor.
othy Randolph Fell, was married
something over a year ago to
Congressman Ogden Livingston
Mills: and the couple have been
established for the summer in the
Mills villa on the picturesque Cliff
Walk at Newport. 1 read Just the
other day that they were return
Ing to New York for the autumn
season, but it would not surprise
me IL they opened their house here
for the period OF the InterparIia-
mentary Union meeting and il the
Hudsons were their guests. Shortly
after his marriage Mr.. Mills leased
q big house at 1927 Massachusetts
avenue, with view to introducing
his handsome bride to official So
ciety In Washington in a becoming
setting. But Mrs. Mills was SER
iously m all during the early part
OF last winter-typhoid. wasn't it.?

Tor several months to recuperate.

gave an eloquent portrayal of the
ideals of Kiwanism before the mem.
bers of the Augusta Kiwanis CIut
yesterday noon at the Augusta Com
munity Club. -5e
With the skill of a vivisectionist
attesting to his knowledge of human
nature, 1t. Commander Hayes laid
bare the human characteristics
found in all of us in an endeavor
to show the way to smoother
healthier life as a Kiwanian.
The dinner, which also formed a
part of the regular meeting of the
Augusta Kiwanis Club, was given in
honor of 1t. Commander Hayes
who Is a staunch Kiwanian; and
President Blaine Owen in introduc-
ing the latter emphasized the
broadness of Kiwanis by alluding to
the transfer of Lit. Commander
Hayes from California to the District
of Maine.
IF there is anything we are
cursed with in America" said 1t
Commander Hayes, 1T is provincial
ism and sectionalism. 1t is Eiwanis
duty to broaden the viewpoint. A
man unduly optimistic is as much in
danger as the man unduly pessimist-
ic."
In bringing out this point the
speaker alluded to the st. Paul con-
vent1on of Kiwanis International,
where all men got together, finding
out what each would say and be-
lieve; forgetting differences in reli-
gion, education, business and frater-
nal; whole galaxy of personalities
bound by the tie of service.,
People belong to so many organi-
cations and orders" the sneaker
SAID that in gathering together
thelr anlllations are scattered:
pound to be. But not Kiwanis. There
are loO,OOO men in Canada, and the
united States under the banner of
klwanis and bonded together under
the word fellowship" and the will
to give service.
"kiwanis picks out its men, not
because they may be leaders in their
particular kind of business, but be-
cause they are capable of giving SER
wee In that line of business.
The men who can get together
and agree to disagree are the farth-
est apart" 1t. Commander Hayes
stated, land because of this human
trait Wen never have a war with
Japan. Why? Because Japan and
the United States are Numerically
opposite in views.

men-have the same goal in view,
