T WISH you could have come
Il out last time, Jane" said
Nancy. as they drove to the home
of a Kitchen Club member. I'VE
worked out the most adorable col
or scheme for Mrs. Collins kitch-
IN. That's the place we are going
this afternoon, to see how she's
finished it up, and to get some
new recipes. There's an inside
story to her kitchen which will
explain some of the things you
see there.
"Mr. and Mrs. Collins have
Just recently married. He was a
widower with the worst little boy
you ever saw. Mrs. Collins is one
of those motherly souls who can't
let anything 60 hungry. Stray cat,
tramp or whatever it is. it gets
fed if it goes TO her. She hasn't
said anything about it. But we all
think that her real reason for fix
ing up her kitchen is to get hold
Of that boy. Her theory seems to
be that if she can make him COM
Portable and feed him properly,
he won't be such a problem"

and at 11:15 this morning and 8
o'clock this evening for WMAL.
The WRC engineers will also send
the evening exercises to New York
from whence distribution will be
made through the WIZ affiliations
throughout the continent.
The main feature Of this unani-
NOUS broadcasting of the D. A. z.
doings to regular Monday listeners
lies in the fact that the programs
of Roxy and Great Moments of

from the WRC evening perform

broadcast of the program after 9
o'clock will be sent to WRC-served

will probably get the Riverside pro-

$50 the regular General Motors
affair will be staged with the Hall
Johnson Jubilee Singers occupying
the center of the stage and pro-
viding program of negro
spirituaIs. The orchestra and brass
band will contribute to the program
also.
In the tire subsidized harmonies
that come to listeners at 1890, Andy
Sanella, who has made a reputa.
ton as a steel guitar picker, will
be the chief soloist and the Vol

 Early in 1927, Smith F. Reaves an American Associated Press re- porter in Paris, asked Aristide Bri- and, Foreign Minister of France, for a message to America to be pub lished April 6, the tenth anniversary of Americas entrance into the World War,
 Since Briand had already negoti- 9ted the Locarno pacts and received inc Nobel prize for work in behalf cf peace, Mr. Reaves suggested that the French minister speak of peace in his anniversary message.
 Briand approved the suggestion The reporter and the foreign minis ter had several talks, and Briand promised the desired message H. delivered it on the day set April 9th, 1927; and it was the breath-taking proposal that France and the United States make a treaty, each renounc- irg forever war against the other.
 Anyone who cares to turn back ,c the newspapers of that date will f,,d that Brian's proposal was re- ccived at our State Department with almost contemptuous indifference; ir. fact, with something close to hos tilIty.
 Secretary Kellog seemed to be sneering at the whole idea, and President Coolidge appeared quite satisfied with the attitude of the se- crotary of a. Then other forces tock hand
 The American people had cheer ed the Briand proposal from the frst The various women's socia- tics in particular, were enthusiastic- ally in favor of it; and the churches without regard to denomination ga,+e it warm indorsement.
 Still the State Department contin 'ped cold; until Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia came out with pronunciamento which shook things loose. In the express i've language of the street, MT. But Ter threw a ft.''
 He had demanded to know why n answer had been made to the French proposal, and whether all American declarations in favor of world war peace were just pious shams, and lot more embarrassing questions.
 The upshot was that our State De pertinent suddenly discovered that the Foreign Minister of France had said something which really requir ed attention. Negotiations follow eC and now the treaty, one mor4 barrier to war, is an accomplished fact.
 But the whole splendid work be- gan with Yankee reporter calling or French cabinet member to get a news story
 |, should be added that MT Reavis iy evidently an uncommonly good re p1rter, and that both he and M ! B, iand have wit to know what j good story really is.-LABOR. s..s.....e...s,&.
