GOVERNOR GREETS,
/ BUSINESS WOMEN
Delegates to Federation SEES.
| sions. in Des Moines Con-
/ slider Offer for Survey.
DIV the Assoclated Press.

BY the AeS0ciat0n Press.
\ DIES MONIES, July 13.--Women
/ may be leaders in business and pro.
fessional life, but delegates to the
Professional Women's Clubs have
shown that that does not detract from
an interest in modish gowns and
stylish chapeaux.
The more than 1000 delegates here
forgot business cares last night to
enjoy the first social event Of the
program, the official reception at the
State capitok
With the disappearance Of the pro-
fessional air, the modern Portals and
woman executives of big business
were wholly feminine. stylishly CARRIED
for the occasion. Nearly three hours
were required for all the delegations
TO file by Gov. John Hamill, who
/. headed the receiving line. 1t was a
strictly social assemblage, made color
full by the brilliant evening gowns OF
delegates.
One of the first proposals to be laid
before the four-day convention of the
organization is the offer of the Uni
I versity of Michigan to conduct a
survey Of the status of the business
and professional woman in. 1926 to
ascertain how far she had attained a.
parity with man.
This survey would compile average
incomes of women, the progress made
by college-trained women, data on how
they attained their positions and on
marriage, divorce and homes of
woman workers and comparative
statistics disclosing their status With
respect to men in similar work.
Mrs. Olive Joy Wright Of Cleveland,
national president, selected by the
executive committee to submit the
proposal to the convention, predicted
authorization OF the survey.

ADJUSTMENTS

NATIONAI-'aThe Family Upstairs =
AS the title implies, the Offering OF
the National Players this week is an
other one of those family affairs that
turn out to be superlatively successful
for the audience.

tation of being one of the most sue

steve Cochran's Theater last night
III is going to suffer no loss of repu-
tation in Washington. Harry Deli,
who slugged it "a comedy of American
life," and turned it lose for the
world to see, deals with a family that
has a marriageable daughter and a
mother who has decided that matches
may be made in Heaven, but 1t
doesn't pay to take a chance.

pealingly sweet, young thing, brings

lasts only until the luckleSS girl and

relatives in their proper places and
let Heaven complete the job It be-
gan.
IT'S entirely too difficult to pick the
perforner who stood out over all
others last night, but Mrs. Hibbard in
the role Of the aggressive mother
comes very forcefully to mind When
one considers the question. The role
is rich in comedy and Mrs. HibDard
played it Just broadly enough to bring
out it's nice values.
Charles Hampden is the father with
the rough exterior and the kind heart,
who tries to help the daughter, but
manages to pull a few blunders that

the match is finally allowed to reach

an Enjoyable Affair

TTfr WAS ! the towns idea.s OF
course you may say how absurd
5that3statenient is, that town can;
not have an idea because town is
not person.
But when many people in a town
all have the same pubIic-spirited
feelings and interest in others, you
can almost say that the town itself
is different from other towns
more generous, more thoughtful
just as you will speak of a person..
So the town lined its streets with
Christmas trees and lighted them
with twinkling lights.
And the town invited all the par-.
ents and all the children from the
surrounding countryside to come
togthe town any night during the
week from Christmas to New.

CHRISTMAS TREES

THE only kind of trees
IL that interest us at TINS
time of year are Christmas
trees.
l wonder if you know that
a Christmas tree may be a
hemlock or a spruce, a hr,
pine, cedar or perhaps some
other evergreen, as an arpor
vitae. But the ones named
are the most popular. Can
you tell the difference?
A spruce Christmas tree
has stiff needles, sharp as
pins, that stand out all ways.
A hemlOck Christmas tree
has fiat needles that lie on
the twigs as il they were
parted, just as hair is parted.
These hemlock needles are
whitish underneath.
The fir Christmas tree has
needles that are parted very
= much like the henilock, only s
each separate needle seems
to be parted onits under,
side, too. Very likely your Z
tree will be one of. these
three.
The pine is too we'll known
for much description. 1t has
two forms of leaves-the pri-
mary, small and scale-like,
and the secondary-long and
in clusters of various num-
bers. There are many spe-
cies, from few feet high to
over q hundred.
The cedar is an old fam
lily. 1t is the welI-known
; Cedar of Lebanon. 1t is of
slow growth, very hard wood,
and much used in manufac-
. turing lead pencils. All are
fragrant, and. very popular
for Christmas trees.-Frank
