state. Mr.. Bryan's grandfather was Governor OF
the next door neIghbor state of LOUISIANA Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were born and reared IN TINS
Southern community and it was fortunate Tor
me, for Mrs Bryan eucidated on many things
that otherwise would have remained inexplicable
and took me to typical Mexican haunts that other
wise would have remained unexplored.
The key note or theme of the Biennial was
"The Fine Art of Living; Making the Federation
Function in Daily Life Each state presi-
dent had been asked to give two-mlnute talk
state presidents night on "How the Club Move
ment has Enriched Daily Living in My State.
Knowing that it would be impossible to even
touch upon the many things that might be IN
cuded in such talk l concentrated upon one
phase of it, taking for my theme, the benefit
derived by the children of our state Every day.
in every way do club mothers help their own
children and children of others, both directly ana
indirectly.
Among the many impressions received four
are outstanding: first, similarity OF plans; second,
simplicity of dress; third, universal spirit OF
friendliness and fourth, unity of purpose
Evidently each had the same plan IN
mind She thought that she would arrive and
register early so as to avoid the rush. Cohse
ouenty it was an immense crowd that stormed
the credential tables at one o'clock Tuesday
afternoon May %. 1t warm and it seemed
as if one might faint. but with the thought came
the assurance that it mattered little for one
could not fall being so closely supported on all
four sides.
Another outstanding feature impressing
person attending the Biennial for the first time
was the simplicity of dress With few notice
able exceptions the women were dressed IN most
pleasing but conservative styles of the day.
One ultra -modish woman caused bit of STIR
and suppressed whispers of surprise when she
appeared with carefully shaved and powdered
legs minus stockings. Personally l wondered II

few who were imposing the modes OF the future
upon us were a small number who still adhered
to the STYLES of the nineties. Of these perhaps
the most outstanding Mrs. Philip North
Moore of ST. Louis, who has been described as
''The best beloved woman in the General RED
aration' During the day sessions she usually
wore white or grey in the evening white lace
and light blue satin. Without variation the
dresses were made with high neck long sleeves,

waist line full skirts which reached within one

Mrs WestmOre who attended her last meeting
General Federation Director, has wonderful
message for you in her report, but l shall not
be ntruding upon her part of the program II L
say little more about the Biennial and tell
you of some of my personal impressions. Be-
cause few of the Department Charmen were
present made an effort to attend the different
conferences of the departments as far as posi-
BILE that l might bring direct messages to them.
After adopting Universal Memberships last
year had secret hope that Washington might
have unusually large representation at San
Antonio, and began early to remind clubs that
they were entitled to direct representation.
tried to induce members of means to attend at
at their own expense after being endorsed as
delegates of their respective clubs lnasmuch
as entitled to between 800 and 4Oo
delegates | had visions of a special train, made
up at some central gateway in our state, speed
ing directly to San Antonio. Despairing of that
| still had hopes of a special car, which needed
only delegates to insure 1t, gong clear through
without change. Even that hope vanished and
our delegation dwindled down to six members
l still am firm believer in the philosophy OF
Emerson and Browning, however, and shall cling
to the hope that some time the delegation from
the State of Washington will go to the Biennial
not in special but in special train, all its
Of the six delegates, two were General Fed
Grafton officers Mrs. B. f. Westmore of Spokane,
General Federation Director and Mrs. j. G.
Gawler of Yakima, Chairman of the Home Eco
Monies Teaching under the Department OF the
American Home. The other members were Dr.
Roberta Winner Ford, Seattle, Mrs }. w. Bryan,

the rest of us were housed at the Plaza Hotel.
The Plaza is a beautiful hotel with every
modern convenience and eXcellant service. 1t
was several blocks farther from the Municipal
Auditorium, where the meetings were held, but
this seeming drawback overcome by the
fact that any yellow cab would take us from
one to the other for ten cents.
Because the hotel was filled to capacity it
was necessary to share the rooms. Mrs. Bryan

very happy arrangement speaking from my own
standpoint Mrs Bryans great grand1ather

BILE, To see her was to love her. She talked
little and listened much but when she did speak
one felt her words were not of conjecture, of
doubtful ambitions of misguided enthusiasm,
but words fretighted with rich value earned
through long, broad and varied experiences. Her
messages sank deep within the minds and hearts
of those of us who of the next younger
generation and we hungered for more.
The spirit of friendlines universal in
every sense of the word. Whether the street,
in hotel Hobbies, in taxicabs, in curio stores in
haunts of typical Mexican restaurants less
than in the convention hall itself, badges, indica-
tive of delegate membership, were open sesames
to friendly conversation. The delegates personal
name was often never known, the badge serving
to chrlsten the wearer temporarily as Mrs. Mis-
souri,, Mrs. Wisconsin, Mrs. Connecticut the
especially alliterative Mrs. Mississippi To many
the greatest inspiration of the convention came
through these chance conversations. One might
mention a successful operation of school for
rural people in remote mountainous district,
an experience with trials of adult education or
of community musical education, of practical
plans for AUGMENTATION where that need was
predominant, or what not. From such chance
conversations developed many times extempor-
aneous round tables Questions piled back
and forth and across, offers of assistance given,
real names and addresses exchanged and
promises of detailed information to be mailed
later. To me such opportunity for exchange
of ideas and experiences, the personal giving or
getting help from those of different communities
is of the greatest functions of any club meet
ing, whether it be national, state or district
meeting Ample time should be arranged that
this spirit of friendness which is innate in
every true club woman may not be hampered or
curtaled.
Perhaps that which appealed to me more
than anything else however, the unity of
purpose of the thousands of women gathered
together from the four quarters of these great
United States No appropriate motto
could be evolved than that which was blazoned
forth in flood of electrical light, as part of the
circle, the entrance of meeting place
Unity and Diversity" Not few women here
and there, but each and every woman present
was mbued with one common aim, desire to
do her bit toward lettering her own immediate
community and making the world at large better
for the next generation. Methods and plans
might differ but ideals were without variance.
May the women of the State of Washington
not fail in their obligation to this common ideal!

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most of the newspapers of Alaska. The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people, particularly in Alaska, change their address es so often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet the situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- ton for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay mcnt in advance.
 So, beginning May 1, sub scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.

REVISION OF DAWES PLAN
 IS POSSIBLE
Discussion Taking Place in France on Germany's s
 Indebtedness

PARIS, ADril 17.--Speeulation as to possible revision of the Dawes plan including the com mercialization of the railway and industrial bonds is rife when it was learned that Seymour Par ker Gilbert, Jr., Agent General for Preparations, had conferred with Premier Poincare and the heads of the Bank of France.
 Coming after the Premier's re- cent speech in which he recog- nized the possibility of 'commer- cialization, the Gilbert conversa- tions assumed an added import ance when it was recalled that in one of his last reports the Ameri- can raised the question of fixing the amount of Germany's indebt- edness
 It was understood that limita- tion of annual payments under the Dawes plan was discussed by the conferees. Le Matin said Gilbert left with the conviction that the French Government was not opposed to limitation as long as a settlement of war debts was effected at the same time.
 Gilbert is now on his way to confer with Count Volpi, Italian Minister of Finance.
