Ry International News Service
An appeal to President Coolidge
and President-elect Hoover to sum-
mon the nations of the world here
for new disarmament conference.
along with postponement OF action
on the Administration big navy
bill for one year, was made today
by Senator william H. King CD of
Utah.
king called the Administrations
attention to the activities of the
preparatory commission of the
League of Nations, which is me-
gotiating for new disarmament
conference, and to the pending rati-
ncation OF the Kellogg multilateral
antiwar treaty. With these peace
moves under way, King declared
the United States should postpone
all war-provoking moves until the
Government can determine whether
further world disarmament is pos
gible.
Asks Years Delay
at appeal to President Coolidge
and to President-elect Hoover to
withhold action on the cruiser bill
until next December" said King.
I'm the meantime. they can initiate
q move for a new disarmament
conference either independent of or
In cooperation with the preparatory
commission OF the League of Ma.
tions.
IF these efforts for disarmament
fail and there is a disposition on
the part OF other nations to
strengthen their armaments, then I
would not oppose a cruiser BILL"
King urged the Administration to
wait one year before strengthening
Americas armaments. He asserted
the United States is put in a
"hypocriticaI" position by sponsor
ing a pact to outlaw war while
at the same time. expanding its
fighting Navy.
Cruisers Being Built
King warned the Administration
that the passage of the new cruiser
bill would slow down the construc-
-tion of the eight great cruisers
already authorized by Congress.
"Our Navy yards would be inun-
dated with work and if attempts
were made to Law new keels, the
whole cruiser program would be
delayed" he said.
Besides. our naval experts should
study the question of ornaments
anew. In my opinion, it is more
important from A naval and mill
tary standpoint to have submarines
and aircraft rather than cruisers"

action of DR.. Hugh K. Walker, mod

Presbyterian Church. in stating it was
''the plain duty of all Presbyterian

DR.. Walkers message was published
in the Presbyterian Magazine. Mr..
Long said he had read with amaze
ment and profound regret" the mod
orators attempt to lead the Presby-
terrain Church as such into the realm
of politics"
The former Assistant Secretary, in
telegram to DR.. Walker made public
here by the Democratic national COM

She said yesterday that one reason she
was able to begin sewing SO soon after
entering the workroom was the instruc-
ton she had received from the Sisters
of Notre Dame at the Notre Dame
Academy, when that institution was
located in the old barracks on First
street between I and K streets.
But changes Well, she remembers
when it took about IL yards of material
for dress, and anybody can see now
that three yards will make any sort of
dress and yard-and-a-half if the
goods runs 81 inches wide. Then there's
the style differences. During the last
so years women have worn f1OunceS.
ruffles, bustles, hoods, full sleeves and
laces and ribbons, and all those things
took time to put together in finished
dress. Take today, though: the little
things they wear are SO simple and
plain that it doesn't take any time to
make them. Miss O'Brien knows.
Through all that so years of service

SEAMSTRESS RECALLS 50 YEARS

Simple Dresses of To-

Half a century is a. long time as the

Half century is a. long time as the
calendar goes, but it's cons upon cons
in the realm of women's dress.
Miss Annie Elizabeth O'Brien, a
seamstress at Lansburgh e. Bro. de-
partment store, laid aside her needle
long enough yesterday to look back just
that many years to the day when she.
then a little girl of 16. walked bravely
into her first days work at the noted
old merchandise house. And she was
COMPOUNDED, was Miss O'Brien: so many
changes have taken place since Septem-
Der %, 1878, that she hardly knew how
to list them.
Women's clothes? Well now when
Annie O'Brien started out as helper in
the tailoring rooms of the store, a
Woman's dress had material in it, ma
terial that had to be fitted and seWed
just right to make it drape properly.
Why it took anywhere from 10 to IL
yards and sometimes Is yards to get
out a dress then. And coats-coatS
were put together in those days. Miss
Anniell tell you. because she has made
them. When she first went to work in
the sewing room, Charles W. Leonardo
was the tailor. He had 85 girls work.
ing on garments then. because at that
time all of Lansburgh's ''read-made"
clothes were sewed in that shop and
it was some years later that dresses,
coats and the rest were bought from
manufacturers. Miss Annie remembers
the change.
Was Rapidly Advanced.
Anyway, when Mr. Leonardo saw Miss
O'Brien handle needle, he said right
off that she would become a good coat
maker and in little or no time she was
advanced from helper to seamstreSs.
