ish fire by Dolly Madison who cut
it from the frame with her scissors,
when you see the clock and candle
sticks which were personal gift
from Lafayette to George Wash
ington and the rug given by the
king of France, the dishes of each
in their own cup
board, the old fire-places just as
they were in Washington's time,
you hope that the White House
will remain the home Of .he Pres
idents of the United States for
many years to come.
"The first dinner in the old Will
lard with a group Of Minnesota
friends was a fitting finish to the
day. The snatches Of conversation
mark it as a cosmopolitan centre.
At one table two men were discuss
ing the coffee crop in Brazil and
Java. At the next an aviator was
telling of some weather he struck
that morning crossing the noun
tains. At another, some members
of House committee were discuss
ing politics.
"Registration came Wednesday
with such a gathering Of delegates
as probably surprised the Presi-
dent. It was the most cheerful gath
ering of the entire conference with
laughter, chattering greetings for
old friends, the making Of new
ones, much fine talk and two hours
of standing in line. 1t was felt
that the registration was handled
in a very inefficient manner. 1t
was at this meeting that I met
Mrs. Fannie French Morse who was
attending the conference with DIR.
Montague of psychiatry for the
Juvenile Court of Nav York City.
Mrs. Morse has her own car and
chauffuer furnished by the State.
She took me to her hotel where a
most enjoyable visit ensued. Mrs.
Morse's institution is about to be
made a clearing house for girls
committed to the State. OF New
York. They will remain with Mrs.
Morse under observation for some
time and will be transferred to 9th
er institutions according to CLASH
fication later. Mrs. Morse looked
unusually well and happy in Ter
work. She sent greetings to many
friends in Minnesota. ...-
"wednesday evening President
Hoover gave his opening address
in Constitution Hall. Many people
said it was the best address Mr..
Hoover ever gave. With 1900 dele
gates and fully 1000 notables and
invited guests the hall was packed.
Music by the Marine Band made it
especially festive. In the party OF
which I was a member were q
number of residents Of Washing
ton who delighted in pointing out
notables and telling interesting bits
of gossip. ~,
"Within a few feet of us sat
Charles Lindburgh and his wife. He
sat we'll at the back of the box
apparently unconscious of the in
terest he was arousing. It was said
that the President invited him be-
cause of the new baby. Everyone
was surprised when he accepted. He
and his wife attended every session
on the Pre-school child. Mrs. Lind
burgh is far more attractive than
her pictures indicate. She is small,
modest with a quick shy smile and
devoted to her husband.
She wore a fluffy pink chiffon dress
which matched the pretty color in
her cheeks. She sat sidewiseg and
much of her time and attention was
devoted to her husband. &..~
"The following morning there
was much confusion in finding the
section as there appeared to be no
person who knew anything except
his own particular line. The crowds
were so unorganized, everyone
wanting to take in as much of all
the sessions as possible that it was
not possible to keep together with
friends for any length of time.
During the three days conference
all of the outstanding men and wo-
men in the United States were
heard.
"The outstanding experience of
ny visit in Washington was a
unch with Senator Shipstead in
he private dining room for Senat-
ors in the National Capitol.
'It is interesting to note the de-
ference which is shown to Mr..
at this time. He is in a
Key position and he is a man who
will not abuse his opportunity.
Minnesota has every reason to be
proud of Senator Shipstead who
began as an unknown and ridi-
,uled champion of despised third
party, and who has risen to the
position of respect and authority
which he now occupies at the Ma
;ional Capitol.
Senator Shipstead has grown
immensely in vision and under
standing since he entered public
ife. He knows what he wants
Ind he very clearly defined his po-
'ition in his radio speech over the
rational network on Nov. Z. IIe
,ood-naturedly twitted the Demo
cratic party for offering to Coop
crate" with the party which suf
'ered such a overwhelming vote of
