MRS. PENNYBACKER
 TELLS HER STORY
Relates How She Entered C0un-
 oils of the Great

Atlantic City, June 1 lPl - How ubiquitous woman found her way, nnoficially, into the councils of the great, was revealed by Mrs. Percy V. Pennybackcr of Austin, Texas, spea king tonight before the gen. cral federation of women's clubs.
 Mrs Pennybacker. who is a for mer president Of tho federation. spoke on Geneva. 1925" Arrived at Geneva and faced with the i'm possibility Of entering the grass room" where the council CT the league of nations was sitting upon the question Of Great Britain and Turkeys dispute over the Mosul, Mrs. Pennybackor said she sat down and thought and thought, for half an hour without anything hap pening." Then she recalled a young American newspaper correspondent who had once promised ito do her a favor" From him she wheedled admittance.
 On the morning of the first ses- sion Mrs Pcnnybacker again made use of woman's wit, and her thinking cap" The press repre- sentative seatrd in front of her was lat least six feet two," she said, adding. imagine my consternation to think l had come SO far to see nothing but the back of a good looking foreign correspondent
 Did Mrs. Pennybacker Write It?
 She did not say quite how she dii it, but the next day the cor respondent was absent, and also the few days following. But hearing Mrs. Penny backer one felt that if the good-looking correspondents signed dispatches of that particular session had been closely examined, one might have seen some feminine touches similar to the "Shandy- isms' that, thanks to Maggie" were wont to creep into John S0a1d's sprrchrs in Barries What Every Woman Knows"

Joseph Henry Supervisor oi
 Army'S Wires

Boston. June 1 tPA-A little gray staampship with queer signal hanging from its masthead may be seen now and again in the great ports of Eastern and Southern Uui- ted States. Yet thousands of trave- lers who view ii never suspect that this vessel, the only one of it's class, is vitally concerned in the defense of the American coast.
 The ship is the [. s. S. Joseph Henry. Its work is the maintenance of a secret system of submarine tele- phone cables that enables the Coast Artillery 10 train it's big guns on tar gets out at sea. The Joseph Henry, anchored here CT there or busily steaming about it's business, is the only visible evidence of these un- derwater communication lines

 It might appropriately called "thc oculist of the Coast Artillery" The eyes that help find the range of dis tant targets are located far away from the harbor fort, sometimes on an island in the harbor. The cables are the nerves that carry the range finding observations 10 the brain" that fires the big batteries.
 The fact that these underwater cables exist is no secre' Their exact location, however, is a military SC cret. They are laid so that they are out of the way of shipping lanes and anchorages. Nevertheless, every so often, some vessel fouls one of the cables, or a new cable must be laid or a cable develops a leak.
 If this situation occurs anywhere from Portland, Maine. to Galveston, Texas, the Joseph Henry appears or the scene.

CARTOONS FEATURE
 STRIKING LOOKS
Public Able to Identify PTOmi-
 nent People by Pictures

Des Moines, Iowa. June 1 lPl - Spying in a cartoon two rows of shining teeth and a square jaw, the American newspaper reader learned to recognize Theodore Roosevelt.
 Harding was identified by his heavy almost shaggy eyebrows.
 Coolidge's symbol is the long New England nose and the austcre mouth, turned down at the corners.
 All of these characteristics have been imprinted so firmly in the American mind by cartoonists that the public now recognizes its public figures as quickly from cartoons as from actual photographs, says J. \. t"Ding') Darling, veteran cartoon ist.
 "All public men who are carica- tured a great deal believes Darling, "are better known by their cOnven- tional caricature than by their own birthright of facial characteristics. In the evolution Of a caricature the cartoonist begins with a fairly ac- curate portrait but finally he elim- mates all except the predominating characteristics and the result is q sort of conventional formula with little Of the portrait remaining. By the same process the letters of T. K. stood for years as 8 complete nomenclature of Theodore Roose- welt"
 Wilson was never correctly car tooned, Darling declares,
 He was man tremendously liked or violently disliked. Cartoon ists friendly to him pictured him as forceful and almost benign, while his foes caricatured him with haWk-like and forbidding mien. The result was that his cartoons were wholly unlike his photographs"
 Congress frequently is pictured as an individual with a fringe of whiskcrs under his chin. close cropped. This caricature is attri- butable, Darling suggests, to the fact that Joseph G. Cannon, long time speaker of the house, wore the stubby hirsute adornment The formula was arrived at easily be- cause when people thought of con. gross they thought of Cannon.
 A comparative newcomer to the gallery of cartooned characters is the reformer or the prohibition ad- yocate. Darling always a strong friend of prohibition, recalls that when the subject first injected itself into public life, he used a minis terial figure of benign countenance 10 epitomize the prohibition cause.
 50 far as I can remember" he says, "the figure originated from the desire to represent a very good man and one associates extreme good ness with sanctimony, ministers and early Puritans. I think the first time l ever drew figure Of prohibi- ton l had distinctly in mind the Pilgrim father with notifications 10 bring him up 10 date"
