sion. This subject will be taken up
promptly at the first plenary session.
which will be presided over by Georges
Theunis, former premier Of Belgium
and president Of the international
chamber.
The program for the conference was
announced BY Silas II. Strawn Of Chi
cago, chairman Of the American COM
mittee Of the international chamber.
In discussing the existing conditions
he said:
THE conviction Is held in many
quarters abroad that the frst step
toward business recovery In Europe
is the resumption Of normal buying
in the United States. Until our peO-
pie. by the renewal Of purchases
abroad Of both raw materials and I'm
ished products, can reduce surplus
stocks and bring about a stable price
level In the more important countries,
European business leaders see no prob
ability Of substantial improvement IN
the world economic situation.
perhaps the most ominous cloud
that Oyerhangs the whole economic
world is the dumping on the world
markets Of large quantities of grain.
raw materials, and semI-fnished prod
ucts by Soviet Russia, at prices less
than the normal costs of production.
THE Washington conference will
endeavor to investigate carefully the
distinction between cause and effect
in the present situation. with view
to establishing to what extent RENE
dies can be sought and the first steps
FASTENED by co-ordinatlng sectional
endeavor."

world is deeply interested and Will.
follow the doings of the committee
closely.
The committee includes thirteen
foreign ministers and is presided over
by NJ. BRAND himself. Sir Eric Drum
mond. secretary general Of the league,
is in South America, so the chairman
is assisted by ]. L. NJ. c. Avenol, the
assistant secretary, who is a French
man.
There are numerous opponents of
the BRAND scheme, and they say moth
ing can come Of it. Great Britain es-
pecially cannot look on II with favor
because she is both European and
world power and such a union as Is
proposed would probably work TO the
injury OF her vast domlnions. The
.'reyiSionist" states, such as Germany,
Hungary and Italy. would scarcely
support the plan before their bound
ary lines were changed to suit them.
The permanent officials of the League
of Nations feel that the suggested TN.
ion would weaken the league and its
worldwide ideals. Even In France
there are many against the plan, for
Brands political adversaries are In
creasng in numbers. He himself ap.
parently doesn't hope for more at this
time than to keep the project alive.

butter, brown and graduated sugar,
two eggs. one teaspoonful each of salt
and soda, one cupful of nutmeats, one
teaspoonful each of almond and
vanilla extract and four and one
fourth cupfuls Of flour. Cream the
butter, add the sugar, eggs and other
ingredients. Roll into two rolls and
let stand on a cloth in a pan placed in
the ice box. The cloth keeps the
dough from llattening and sticking to
the pan and thus losing Its round
shape. Slice very thin, decorate with
half nut meat, raisin or cherry as
ones taste suggests.
Another food so much liked In all
our homes Is fresh rolls. 1t takes
time to prepare light and crisp roll.
Here is a recipe which will keep for
q week or longer in the Ice chest and
pan Of biscuits may be baked any
time one cares to serve them:
Ice Box Rolls.-Dissolve two COM
pressed yeast cakes In one-fourth Of
a cupful Of warm water, adding tive
teaspoonfuls OF sugar. Add two table
spoonfuls Of shortening. one teaspoon
full of salt. one-half cupful of sugar
to pint OF boiling water. Beat two
eggs and mix all together with four
cupfuls Of flour. Beat well, then add
three and one-half cupfuls more OF
flour. mix well with spoon but do
not knead Set away in the refriger-
ator until the next day at noon, when
1t will be ready to use. Handle the
rolls quickly, brush with melted lard
or sweet fat when they are placed in
the pan. Let stand until more than
double their bulk; keep covered while
rising In a warm place.
With these two mixtures In the Ice
box, one may be ready for the unex-
pected and need not worry.

"The problem has now developed

World Pays Tribute at
Shrine of Bobby Burns

Many places have been made" by
the genius of great writer. Scott has
done more for the tourist agencies
and the railways of England than any
Of his countrymen. because his range
was so wide. He discovered the Tros'
sachs and Loeb Katrine. and even
made the Peak Of Derbyshire world
famous. But there are no more hal
lowed spots than those which dot the
Burns country.
The country town Of Ayr lies in the
center of fine sandy coast. with Won
derful sea view across the great firth.
There is no house In the kingdom, no
palace or castle or great mansion, that
has half the attraction for the world
as the little matched biggin at AL
loway where Robert Burns was born.
In its visitors book are inscribed the
names of men and women famous in
literature, art and statecraft, the
names of peers and peasants and OF
kings, all come to worship at the
shrine of genius.
Close by is the Aud Brig O. Doom,
leaping in single gray and graceful
span the little stream whose name
has gone round the world. Close by.
too. is the haunted kirk. where Tam
o. Shanter saw witches and warlocks
holding revelry in its churchyard. In
the town itself can still be seen the
Aud Brig of Ayr, the theme of one
Of his finest poems, whilst the river
Ayr is forever associated with the ode.

Mans Better Half

The correct expression as used IN
the Bible to describe mans wife Is
helpmeet. In Genesis 2:18 is this ::
"And the Lord God said, 1t is not good
that the man shall be alone; will
make him help meet for him" Meet
is here used to mean fit or suitable
a helper suitable for him. The words
were combined as helpmeet to mean a
wife, and changed by popular misuse
to helpmate, and both words now are
recognized as proper.

Fosdick. an eminent New York law
yer who graduated from Princeton
with the class of 1905. He Is now one
of the trustees. Senator David A.
Reed of Pennsylvania, a member of

He. too. is on the board Of trustees.
Doctor Hibben was elected presi.

ONCE the destruction of private
- grain operators is held by the fed
eral farm board to be no part of its
function. Chairman Legge has virtual
ly warned them to be ready for the
July / settlements. He discloses that
the board not only holds huge contracts
for future delivery but also is fast
gaining control of the cash wheat sup
ply. Legge said the grain sterilization
corporation is holding about 10000
900 bushels of cash wheat. and about
65.OO000O bushels of futures contract
wheat which must be delivered be-
tween now and next July l.
He admitted that on July 1, when
the new crop begins coming in. he ex-
poets the board to be holding "yir-
tually all of the national carry-over."
Such position with any futures con-
trGets outstanding would place the
board In position to wipe out short
spectators who happened to be due
to deliver wheat to the board. A SIM
flar condition existed several months
ECO, and at that time the board spared
the short sellers by extending the de-
livery date.

JOB AGENTS TRIAL
FOR FRAUD is SET
Jury Will Hear Charges of Woman
Against Bureau 0c-
tober IA.

John D. Kendall, operator Of the
Washington Business Bureau, an en-
poyment agency in the Bond Building,
demanded a jury trial on charges of
false pretenses when arraigned in Po-
lice Court yesterday. His case will be
heard october IA He was liberated
under bond of $500. which was fixed
at the time of his arrest Saturday.
Kendall is charged by Fannie Lyle,
colored, with having taken So from the
woman on the promise of obtaining her
a job as a maid but failed to do so.
Appearing in the Office of Assistant
United States Attorney William A. GAL
lagher last week, the woman Swore out
q warrant charging false pretenses.
This method of prosecution was de-
cided upon by Mr.. Gallagher since the
employment agency act in the District
Code has been rendered unconstitu-
tional by an adverse ruling of the SUI
preme Court of the United States
The colored woman is one of group
who complained first to the Better
Business Bureau concerning the en-
ployment agency. She was selected by
the prosecutor as having the best case,
since her dealing had been directly
with Kendall, while the others had
dealt with clerks in the agency.

Asserts.

Modernism was condemned by Mrs

man of the Committee on Representa-

Council of Catholic Women in the May
flower Hotel.
THE cult of the primitive blinds
peace groups. as it does other modern
lists, to the benefits of Christian Gull
ture," Mrs. Gamble said.
Mrs. Gamble explained she had made
a study of the peace situation since the
outbreak of the World War She said
the preparedness movement preceding
the war was repelling. She said the
activities of pacifistS who seemed to
have been the instruments of pro-Ger-
man propaganda were equally dis
gushing.
To-day" she declared, 1.-THE con-
science of mankind demands that Its
statesmen solve the problem of inter-
national disputes by some other method
than warfare, if civilization itself is to
endure. American women everywhere
are eager to participate in the peace
movement if only they can be sure OF
not being misled"
