American Women Need to Be

kclared women spent s7OO.OOo.oO Of a family pay
on worthless securities last year. He did not
lame the womeni that is. he did not place all the

7lsbands and sons and brothers and fathers who do
BIT take time to teach their women sound finance.
k did not venture to suggest how much the women
lrned, but he did say they spent IS per cent Of the
ktdonal pay envelope and. in 1929. they siphoned
100000 from the savings deposits accumulated in

the fact that Fred Stones newest
musical show has Topped. II was
one Of those things which Broad
way did not believe could happen.
He appeared with all his family a
few weeks back TO be given such a
rousing ovation as seldom meets
the most popular performer. The
roof was literally lifted off by the
huzzahs Of the crowd.
And yet, his show did not click.
Just around the corner, another
music show is packing them in and
around another corner there is a
similar demonstration. IN both IF
these shows the comedy often falls
into the super risque caliber which,
nevertheless, rocks the audiences
with laughter each night.
Stone has insisted that no IN
clean line and no unclean sitya-
ton shall ever emanate from any
production in which he figures.
And so, looking over the city's
journals, one reads that Stone has
become passe, old-fashioned and
all that: that the theater has
changed and he hasn't; and he Is
q stranger TO the Broadway he help
ed to build.
The gasps come fast and furious
as IT Is mentioned that Stone has
long been looked upon as some
thing Of q national institution
Dillingham;, the producer, gasps
most OF all since he tossed q quarter
Of q million into a production which
must already take the road. He
recalls when q Stone show could
run for two years.
Well-to drag out the trite old
commentary: That's Broadway
for yor':....To the stars today and
fight for yourself tomorrow.
To all OF which Stone merely
shakes his head He can't make il

with another bow to Samuel Hoffenstein)
A little time In which to spin
And hop and skip and do some CROWN;
A little while to laugh and grin
And keep the red corpuscles flown
Then quiet. and the peace of years,
And no more washing Of our ears.
A few more days In which to bring
A lot Of fun before we're sunk;
A bit more room to have our fling
And get a little more than drunk
Then overcome by that deep wave.
Thank goodness, we don't have to shave.

BUSINESS EASING
ECONOMIC STRIFE:
Experts Discuss Views Be-
fore Conference on Cause
and Cure of War.

International business organizations
are slowly easing the strains on inter
national relations occasioned by eco.
nomic differences between countries, bu
there still remains considerable progress,
to be made along these lines. Prof
Ernest M. Patterson of the University
of Pennsylvania told delegates at tn,
fifth annual Conference on the Cause
and Cure of War at the Hotel Wash
ington this morning.
DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary
of Commerce, the other speaker on
this mornings program, told the con-
ference that he sees better feeling
growing UP between the business men
of the great powers through co-opera-
ton. He said that international trade
expansion should not be an obstacle
of peace If the expansion is conducted
along orderly and economic lines and
with the proper application Of business
ethics.
Prof. Patterson saw danger to peace
In the fact that the many economic
rivalrieS are at present organized On
national lines. He said
Fully as important as the public
peace machinery, Such as the WOrlc
Court and the League of Nations. are
the private kinds of peace machinery
This latter type of peace machinery Is
made up OF the International Chamber
of Commerce, the private business
agreements and the more widely known
international cartels. These are devel-
oping slowly, but I think surely, bust
ness codes even in the international
field.
This afternoon the more than 500
delegates to the conference, represent
ing IL outstanding national women's
organizations, is engaged in another of
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Cats Interrupt
tive discussions" Of the questions: How
far Is the peace question woman'S re-
sponsibility? How may women be an
effective force in the general move
ment?"
The round table is an international
one, with Mrs. e. H. Silverthorn, chair
man Of the International Friendship
Women's Boards of Foreign Missions,
acting the role of 1.-The challenging pub
lie" and the subjects under discussion
by Nine. Marie-Louise Puech of France,

Miss Kathleen D. Courtney of England,

tions committee and will hold general

LUMP SUM SUPPORT
MEASURE OPPOSED
Citizens Advisory Council
Favors Present Grant
of 40 Per Cent.

The Citizens Advisory Council last
night adopted report disappearing the
Cramton bill to establish the $4,000, 900
lump-sum contribution from the Fed
eral Government as the substantive law
governing the fiscal relations between
the Federal Government and the Dis
trict of Columbia. This bill has been
introduced at each Congress for several
years, but the District committee has
never reported on 1t.
Law Calls for 40 Per Cent
The present substantive law calls for
a contribution from the Federal Gov
eminent of 40 per cent of the appro-
priations for the District of Columbia.
For several years, however, by a legiS-
lative rider to the appropriation act
the Federal Government has contributed
$4,000, 900 instead of the 40 per cent.
Fiscal relations of the United States
Government and the District of Column
bia are so unsettled" the council re-
solved, that it would not be wise at
this time for Congress to fix any definite
amount of contribution toward defray-
ing the expenses of the District other
than that already existing in the sub
stantive law" The report was written
by Charles I. Stengel
The council approved q bill estab-
fishing the Womans Bureau of the
Police Department by law, increasing
the number Of police women to 81 and
making the officer In charge amenable
tendent of police.
A bill for the appointment Of the re-
corder of deeds by the Commissioners
instead Of by the President was disap-
proved, as was a bill providing for
$4,000 for a monument to Robert Mills,
designer of the Treasury Building and
Washington Monument.
Chain Bridge Plan Hit.
A bill to provide for q new bridge to
take the place Of the Chain bridge was
disapproved, the council holding that
the cost OF the bridge should not be
borne entirely by the District but
should be shared by Virginia and the
Federal Government.
Approval was given to a bill to amend
the smoke law by including steamboats,,
locomotives, steam shovels, tractors and
stationary engines within It's scope.
The council, however, recommended
that two smoke inspectors instead of
Ave, as carried in the bill, would be
sufficient.
The council also approved a bill au-
thorizing the Commissioners to close
certain streets whenever 1t was neceS-
sary. due to the opening of new streets
or Strengthening or widening of others,
but the council held that the bill should
provide for damages to property owners
affected.
The council found that bill pro-
hibiting operations for experiments on
living dogs was loosely written and held
that it should not be enacted in its
present form.

Firemen Take Part
In Vain Attempt to
Find Stray Panther
EffortBe ingM adetoLearn
Truth or Falsity of Re-
ports About Animal.

Determined to establish the truth or
falsity of reports that a panther is at
large in the woods near Kenilworth,
members of the Bladensburg Fire De-
partment are joining District residents
in searching parties.
Led by Chief Andrew r. Gasch, 10
members of the department secured
the territory yesterday and q few of
these expected to continue the hunt
this afternoon.
According to Chief Gasch, "Panky'
Lewis, an amateur athlete, living on
Eastern avenue, reported the beast fol-
lowed him across a field about s o'clock
yesterday morning.
Lewis told Gasch. the animal was
about half again as large as a collie
dog" The man said the supposed
panther did not attack him. but leaped
to one side after trailing him for sew
eral PAGES.
Lewis also is said to have reported
the incident to Washington police and
to a railroad crossing Waterman.
Among the many rumors reaching
the fremen was one that the animal
had attacked horse several days ago.
The flremen also were told by colored
residents of Deanwood that panther
had been roaming the streets Of their
community for some time. The flremen
so far have found no trail Of the animal.
