UNITED WELFARE

Federation of Civic Clubs De-
sides Action at Present
Time JnWise.

Decision to defer vote until q
future date on the question of the cen
trallZatlOn of all welfare activities of
the District Of Columbia in one build.
ing was reached by the delegates to
tho Federation Of Civic Clubs at their
monthly luncheon in the City Club
yesterday.
That action was decided upon fol
lowing statements by several of the
delegates that they thought it would
be unWise to act at the present time.
The SorOptomist Club, said to he the
club most vitality Interested in the
question, was not represented at the
meeting.
Miss Elizabeth c. Harris, president
of the Zonta Club, had referred the
question to q committee for consida"a-
ton, but expressed her personal opin-
ion to the effect that the matter sis
too much of political issue to take
action on" later adding: 1T seems to
mo we are asked to adopt PROPOSE
ton that is somewhat experimental
and 1t would be rather premature Tor
US to do it."
j. G. Callahan of the Optimist Club
declared the Board of Trade, Chamber
of Commerce and Merchants and Man.
ufacturers' Association had been in
disagreement with the Citizens Ad-
Vlsory Council on matters. and that
he did not think it proper for repre-
Sntatives of civic clubs to take action
on such matter without knowing
just what would besbest.
Others expressed the opinion that
the question involved is not a matter
for civic club representatives to take
action on.
A proposal that the federation give
a dinner to national ard international
club presidents who are to meet here
next month, the exact date to be de-
cided later, was discussed briefly at
the meeting. Michael ID. Schaefer,
president of the federation, presided.

VIOLIN-PIANO RECITAL.

A. recital of violin and piano music
was presented last night at the Roose-
velt Hotel in an interesting fashion by
professional artists, who are familiar
especially for their associations with
musical activities in Baltimore, but
are not so generally well known here.

Hulsteyn plays with authority, clean

mating variations of the last number
were filled with gay color and charm
Ing delicacy. In this selection he
seemed to entirely forget the peda-
