The resolution proposes that the

committee for the department of

The Curtis Reed education BILL

vides for separate department Of

Miss Williams. has been heartily
indorsed by the General Federation
or Women's Clubs, the first great ma
tional organization to give 1t un.
qualified support.
"The removal of the Federal aid
clause from the present billra fea-
ture which was Objectionable to
many in former bills, automatically
removes the greatest opposition to
the issue.
mo single supporter or group of
supporters of this bill desires that
the Federal Government shall control
education in States or local COM
munities," said Miss Williams In con-
cluding.
Legislative Work Reviewed.

the fact that the joint congressional

stronger each year has proved that

EBELL JUNIORS FROM Los ANGELES PRESENT
SPLENDID PROGRAM AT WONANS CLUB MEET
AFTER SUCCESSFUL ARTSCRAFTS LUNCHEON

I work, but declined to give an en-
core. Miss Wustum has charming
stage presence and an artist of de
cided ability.
Clever Work by Cast
Much clever work was done in the
presentation of THE Conflict, a
one act play in which the eternal
conflict between generations fur
nishes the central theme. The plot
develops around the desire of the
children of a family to live their
own lives, and the belief of cap
able but strongminded mother that
she is best able to judge how her
children should live.
The "confltcI of the play devel-
ops about the oldest daughter, Ami
lee, who has decided ability as an
illustrator. and is planning to re-
turn to an eastern metropolis to con-
tinue her career. following her
fathers death. This course her
mother bitterly opposes.
- Amilee, portrayed by Miss
Carol Bottsford, is the leading role
of the play, and requires much emo
tienal skill. Miss Bottsford handled
the part successfully, and was at
her best in the strong scene where
she pleads for her mother 5 under
standing before leaving home.
Gives Fil.e Portrayal
Mrs. Milton F. Hammond gave a
decidedly satisfying Interpretation
of the role of the mother whose
children viii always be children to
her. and who can never quite trust
their Judgment.
The Juvenile parts of the play,
that of the younger sister and broth
er, were taken by Miss Mildred
Sexsmith, as .'Bess" and Mrs. Ir-
win Camp, as Bobby As the
little sister, Miss Sexsmith was most
charming and presented her role
with childish realism such as is not
often seen on the stage.
As Bobby Mrs. Camp furnish
ed the necessary comedy contrast,
and admirably interpreted the diff
fieult part of the dirty faced. bare

stands
