FATHER

Father, long unsung in poem story,
Humbly content that motherhood should wear
The crown of every virtue, every glory
That by all right should have been yours to share
Toiling in all the rush and hurt of living,
out on life's roughways and the busy mart
Day after day, unsefsh, accomplishing,
You guard the loved ones of your home and heart
No task too hard no burden found too heavy
That brings protection to the shrine you keep,
Too busy seeking ways for another's visions
To think of fame or homage you might reap.
Take at last. your rightful place with Mother,
She shall be douby honored, when to you
Her chosen mate the father of her children
We rise to give the place of honor due.

The perfecting of a national and international
federation of Soroptimist clubs was the chief ac-
compshment of the second convention of Sorop-
timists of the world at the MaynOwer Hotel, Wash
ington, ID. c., June 4th to 9th.
The International Association is the new name
for the International Federation of Soroptmist
Clubs, by which the organization known when
the convention opened last Monday. Under the
constitution the organization will be compos
ed of national declarations in each country which
will have their constitutions.
Following adoption of the International consti-
tuition the American federation met and drew up its
its constitution.
"'rhe Best for Women" was chosen as the slo-
gan today after lively debate. The English de-
legation seemed to favor "Women's Veal" but the
Americans objected.
Instead of elecing new International presi-
dent today the different declarations elected nation

We of course were thrilled at the Presidential
Reception and to have our official Convention pic
ture taken with President Coolidge. Isn't 1t
funny thing that people have habit of looking
like their pictures? President Coolidge is no ex-
ception; he is just slight and just silent as
everyone says. Washingtonians are still talking
of drafting him.
One event of especial interest was the inspec-
ton of the Presidential yacht, .rhe Mayflower."

too. The Civilian Club gave theatre party at the

Lakehurst. N. J.. Oct. 26 R - The cruise of the Graf Zeppelin over the middle west has been postponed again with the possibility that the trip may be abandoned.
 Continued unfavorable weather reports and an 1S-mile cross-hangar wind at the field caused Dr. Hugo Eckener, the ships commander. to postpone the proposed start last night.
