Doherty Party Held
Extravagant Waste

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-tP-
The debut here last night OF Miss
Helen Lee Eames Doherty was con-
demned today by Senator Norris. OF
Nebraska. as "extravaEant and
wasteful. particularly In view OF the
fact that the people across the street
were hungry"
The Nebraskan referred to n
bread line which was served in the
same block in which the elaborate
marty was given by Henry L. Do
herty. president Of the Cities Ser
vice Corporation. for the daughter
of his wife by an earlier marri-
age.
II haven't a thing against Mr.. Do
herty," said Norris. land I am glad
the daughter had such a fine party
but / think she could have had Just
as much fun on less money. Money
was scattered away extravaRantly
and wastefully while the people
across the street were hungry. It Il
time for thinking men and women
to think what Is wrong with our
prosperity when such a situation
prevails"

WOMAN0WyS
432 PITCHERS
Mrs. Josefa Parks Of Ray
mondville Has Very Unique
Collection

tSpec1di 10 The Herald.)
RAYMONDVILLE. Dec. 27-what
Is probably n Of the most unique
collections in the Valley is a group
of 432 cream pitchers Of every con-
ceivable variety. material and de-
sign gathered over a period OF
years by Mrs. Josefa Parks of this
city.
Twenty-Five states and fifteen
countries r represented in the
collection. which Is housed in two
cases built for their display.
This old collection has drawn
hundreds of curious persons to the
Parks home and IL has been exhibit
ed at various times. always causing
a great deal of interest due to the
wide variety Of pitchers.
Some Just Ornamental
Strictly speaking they are Lvs
all cream pitchers, for some are too
large, some too small and some jusv
would not hold anything, particu-
larry the ones woven out OF straw
and other material
In the collection are So Oddities
and 80 souvenir pitchers. The o.
dities include pitchers in the forms
of many kinds of animals, flowers
and other objects and the souvenir
pitchers are from cities and resorts
from Vermont to California.
Some of the pitchers have been
inherited, some of them are the

were purchased outright. Every time
a new city is visited a pitcher Is
purchased as a memento. Mrs.
Parks friends likewise remember
her when they see odd pitchers and
she estimates that she has recelv-
ed gifts from 100 persons. In each
pitcher is a slip of paper giving the
name Of the donor, If it was a gift.
and other data.
Many Odd Pieces
Among the pieces which Mrs.
Parks values the most is a niloak
pitcher, and a Puya Indian pitcher.
other pitchers are made out Of or
ange wood, kelp, stone, madrone
wood, PruSsian ware, majo.ica, etc.
One Is woven out Of straw and still
another is crotcheted. One of them
has silver inlay. another gold mount
ing and another silver deposit.
Bavaria, Italy. China, France. and
Japan are among the countries re-
presented, one Of the japanese pie
ces being Of cloth-moulded clay.
Since coming TO the border Mrs.
Parks has added Mexican pottery
including a miniature set of seven
which may be placed on a coaster.
Mrs. Parks says the. she under
stands there is a pitcher collectors
club. but she has never been able
TO locate its headquarters. Since il
requires that members own only 400
pitchers or more. she feels that she
is eligible to membership. Mr.. Parks
Is very interested in his wife's coll
lection and has a parody collection.
