WOlnen'S Club Hears Plea at
 Atlantic City Convention

Atlantic City, May 26 P-Im- provement of the American home so that "our people might be turned from their mad flight after irrcspon- sible pleasures to the lasting satis- faction found In ideal family life," was the objective outlined by Mrs John D. Sherman at the opening ses- sion of the general federation Of women's clubs convention here this morning. The report of the presi- dent, stating her recommendations and policies. was the high spot of this mornings program. The con- vention opened last night, with about 5000 women in attendance.
 This American home study has resulted in deeper consecration to law observance, said Mrs. Sherman. Problems of public health, of edu- cation and the need for elimination of illiteracy, and of better citizen ship were considered in their bear ing on the home. No other move ment coud ever have reached the heart Of women as this has done"
 President Coolidge has been asked by her to take action on the federa- tion's request that he appoint a citizenship committee to formulate plan for Americ8nization Of immi- grants. Mrs. Sherman said.
 The presidents stated recommen- dations are: 1-The establishment of a fund, the general federation foundation" for special work; . Creation of permanent federation board of trustees"; 3--An organized study of law observance and law administration for all departments; 4-Further federal extension; 5-- Study of the federation organization; 6--Payment of expenses Of biennaI chairman: 7--Support Of legisa- ton in principle rather than in the letter of the bill; S--The ap- pointment of more club historians.

 SHIPPING PROBLEM
Conference at Boston Planning
 for SeapOrtS

Boston, May 26 tPl--A vigorous arraignment of New Engand'f for ctgn merchandising and sales meth eds was made today by Victor M. Cutter, president Of the United Fruit company. In an address be- for the New England Foreign Trade conference, which is meeting here to discuss export development Mr. Cutter said.
 Our prosperity in the past has been so firmly established that it has led 10 satisfaction, lack of uggrrssil encss, and 10 q provincial ism which has blinded lis to the sig niicauce of the development Of manufacturing and industry in other parts of the country and 10 the need for dr%eloping new markets for our products.
 T believe our. manufacturing and producing is amply cared for also believe our merchandising and sales methods are rotten, and that our knowledge Of markets for nul products both domestic and foreign is infnilesimal
 "The remedy for the situation lies in a realization Of these facts and in aggressive action in merchaniis- ing, which includes advertising and publicity, proper packing and hand ling of our products, and the build ing up of sales forces 10 balance our splendid manufacturing and produc- tion.'
 A. s. Hilyer chief Of the com morcial intelligence division of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tie commerce. declared this coun- try's exporters could meet foreign price competition if they could in duce the buyer to consider quality service and adaptability as well as price.
 There seems 10 he no difficulty in our exporters holding their own provided that when occasion re- ouires they extend reasonable credit terms to buyers who are justly en- titled to credit accommodation"
 The two-day session was opened hy the election of Mir. Cutter as president Of the New England EN- port club.

Wants to Unify Entire Code Of
 Polish Law

 took into his own hands the rule of affairs of state purposes to wipe out what he terms the bureaucracy which has hampered the nations undevelopment by unifying the en- tire code Of Polish law.
 In an interview with newspaper men Marshal Pilsudski declared as for the country's foreign policy and the general principles of domestic Administration there would be no change. When asked to state what would be his attitude should the na- tonal assembly refuse to elect a Ipresident satisfactory to him. the marshal laconically replied: I've shall see what We shall do when We come to that"
 Pilsudski was extremely reticent during his talk with the journalists, and at one time remarked that they could not get him to talk by throw ing compliments at him. After he had closed the interview, one of his aides said: When Pilsudski is pres ident he will give another interview"
 Reports from the provinces show that there have been some clashes between members of the right and left parties during political meet Iings preparatory to the gathering Of the national assembly next week to elect a president. Some additional blood has been shed in factional fighting. A score of persons were injured in street fighting in Lem berg growing out of meetings of so- cialists and national democrats. The police had to intervene and so do- ing used their clubs vigorously to restore order.
 The fact that civilians are still In possession of some 5000 rifles given them at the time of the revolution, is causing some anxiety to the pro visional government.

Judge Says Supreme
 Court Must Decide

Chicago. Nov. IS GP-Radio sta- tion VICES was directed yesterday by Circu, Judge Francis Wilson to broadcast on wave lengths which will not materially interfere with the broadcasting of WGN, pending a supreme court decision on radio air rights.
 WGN, the station of the Chicago Tribune, sought to enjoin VICES from broadcasting on wave length within 40 meters of its own. claiming interference with it's programs and asserting its priority in use of that air zone.
 The court held that the supreme court must pass on the case before 1t finally could be established whether 40 meters is too small q divergence between broadcasting stations in the same locality to en- able the clear reception of both.
 Judge Wilson expressed the be- lief in his opinion that there should be a difference of at least fifty kilo- cycles between broadcasting stations in the same vicinity.

Sterling, Writer, Dies Without

 For reasons wholly unknown 10 his friends, the writer, whose pc turcsoue ways had caused him to sbrink from fame, took poison as he Iav i'll in his quarters at the laSh- ionable Bohemian club here yester- day turned his face to the wall and died.
 Before sending himself into the invisible, he attempted to destroy letters and fragments of his writings which might have been taken by hls friends as a word of farewell or as exclamation for his act. But one clue remained-one line of a poem sal vaged from the ashes:
 "Deeper into the darkness can I peer than most, yet find the dark ness still beyond"

IRELAND SMARTING
 UNDER BETTING TAX
But Reports From Racing Centcrs Show There Has Been Very Little
 Dimunition In Wagering.

Dublin, Nov. IS tP-There is no bookmakers' boycott on the Irish race courses as was the case in Eng land when the betting tax was in laugurated.
 Though the new betting tax Is keenly resented it has been decided to make '''c best of the inevitable. Some diminution of betting is notice- able. but there has been a large de- mand for licenses to get and more than 400 of these have been granted. The government when imposing the tax in the last budget took care to include in the act of parliament pro- visions enabling the starting of to- talizers under government leases, and this has made a general revolt by the hookmakers practicable.
 The extent of betting in the Free State is not known. But betting has extended to the most remote villages and all the newspapers devote large space 10 racing both in Ireland and England. The finance minister cal culates that the tax will yield him in excess of s1.250,0O0 indicating that he believes at least S25,000,000 are wagcred annually.
