United Press Staff Correspondent

WASH NGTON. Oct. -. - Th"
onward sweep Of Queen Marie $
American popularity tour hit two
snags today.
Officials were busy trying to hush
up criticism Of the queen s violation
Of diplomatic etiquette in holding a
state dinner here last might without
first making Il courtesy call on Pres
idcnt and Mrs. Coolidge.
Although her majcSty's banquet
was dcscrib"d by the Roumaniau lc-
CATION ~ IA family dinner invita-
tions were srut to the ministers Of
Poland, CHccho- -SlOvakia, Jugo Sla-
via, the charge Il affairs of Great
Britain and France ana other offic.
cials.
Meanwhile Washington society
matrons were aggricvcd by Marie s
last minute decision not to let
Prince Nicholas out Of her sight Tn
der the official plan Of the Rulnan-
ian legation, Young Nicholas was to
be biIetcd in the royal suite Of Il
local hotel some distance from the
queens temporary palace at the lc-
HulIDH. DHi u'I ma Jt0'1 h' ''''''
Nicholas must sleep in room next
to hers and stay in at night. THIS
Of course eliminated informal enter
tainment arranged for thc prince.
Critics Of the queens diplomatic
dinner said her imprOprictY srould
have been avoided had she called at
the white house Immediately after
her arrival in Washington, the origi'
nal plans announced by the state de
partmcnt.
With these worries on its hands,
the department was undecided today
what reply if any should be made to
protests of newspaper publishers
against alleged exploitation by the
queen for commercial purposes OF
this government s hospitality.
The department is investigating
alleged obscene references to hci
majesty which appeared in the edi'
torial of a Chicago radical news
paper.

If you have an unexpected caller,
resort to your store Of canned goods
and have some good hot cream of
tomato soup with possibly potato
salad, bread, butter, jelly, some kind
of canned fruit as peaches or pine
apple and cake or cookies, tea or
coffee.

In family where there are scV-
eral members. whore something sub

ENGLISH WOMEN
ASSEMBLE TODAY
FOR CONFERENCE
by United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Oct. 10. - ''Twclve
points for the protection of the
home, embodied in as many resolu-
tions, will be debated for the next
three days by 500 delegates from the
National Council of Women of Great
Britain, assembled in their annual
conference which opened here today.
The conference represents affil
lated organizations totaling l,50O,-
600 women and is the British
equivalent of the American Fedora
tiOn of Women $ clubs. The main
difference between the two is that
instead of being broken up into diff
fercnt ''sections as in the Amcri-
can organization, the British women
meet Ill a common conference.
Among the AS organizations repre-
sented are those of such varied in.
tcrests as the actresses. the girl
guides, the overseas settlement of
British women, the clubs devoted to
the Improvement of rural housing
sanitation, the teachers of domestic
science. Purely scIf-cultural clubs
are conspicuous by their absence.
This afternoon S session started
off with Il breezy discussion of
Women Under English Law by u
woman solicitor. Other papers dealt
with 1.-THE Work of Married Wo-
men, "Thc Housing Problcm' and
THE Causes and Prevention of
Maternal Mortality.'

revive the national councils annual
row with a paper on the more or less
dormant bill for local option known
as the "Oxford Liquor popular

ing members of the council are more
or less "wct' in svmputhics, to the
ANYTHING leading up to prohibition,
this paper is expected to provoke the
