F.. OVER WAR
900 Delegates Depart, Gloomy
In Certainty Far East Nears
Major Conflict

Six hundred delegates to the
eighth Conference on the Cause
and Cure of War, held in the
Washington Hotel the past week,
finished their discussions last
night and today are departing
for their homes-in this country
and abroad.
The delegates carried with
them the discouraging impres-
sion, left by several speakers, that
there is now brewing a bigger
conflict than the Warld War
a struggle that probably will start
in the Far East and end by en-
quilting half the world.
Russia Arming"
Russia is arming because she
is afraid that the European
nations are arming to. attack
her." Mrs. Israel Zangwill,
widow Of the English play
wright, told the delegates. "The
European nations are arming-
or, at least, are refusing to dis
arm-because they are afraid
that Russia is arming to attack
them. That is the vicious circle
of vicariOus belligerency."
DR.. Nathaniel Peffer, writer on
Far Eastern affairs, had pre-,
ivously told the delegates the
United States and Japan stood on
the abyss of war-that the PreSi-
dent-elect and the Secretary of
state having pledged themselves
to uphold the Stimson doctrine
for the next four years means
that America cannot condone the
Japanese position in Manchuria,
and that this means war.
Outside of all these diSquieting
reports, the conference was a
success. This was voiced in the
final and closing words of the
session by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait who encouraged the workers.
d. G. Women Thanked
In tribute to the Washington
women who helped make the
gathering an outstanding one, a
rising vote of thanks was given

L. Darby; vice chairmen, Mrs.
T. j. Howerton, Mrs. H. Wellen

hey, Mrs. T. E. Brown, Mrs. A. M
Ferry, Mrs. Karl Fenning, Mrs.
Basil Manly, Mrs. John Reynolds,
and Mrs. H. c. Briscoe.
Before departing from the
city, the delegates outlined five
objectives for 1888:
Immediate ratification Of
League Court proposals, embargo
against shipping arms to warning
nations, bolstering the Treaty of
Paris, support of the Geneva
disarmament conference and entry
of the United States into the
world disarmament conference.

 She interrupted herself to say swiftly, Look, Bill, you better let me drop you by the station. Stan's coming over tonight to talk about things. Maybe we'll get something settled"
 You've known that all after noon and you only just sprang 1t on me now" Bill accused/ black as thunder cloud. As Angie slowed the car he jumped out and stood before her, very tall and grim and angry, above her white beret and flying yellow curls.
 Sure I did but you had such grouch I didn't dare," she in- formed him with insouciance. She was pretty in a candy-box way, this girl with the starry eyes and preposterously plucked eyebrows. She had a gamin, elfin appeal in spite of the cheap gay ety of her outfit.
 "All right" Bill growled. eff that's the way you feel about it. Nobody's going to twotime me and get away with it."
 He lifted his hat. Without another word he strode away in the direction of the station. The afternoon train was just pulling in. As Angie watched he jumped casually aboard.
 "Oh, Bill," she walled under her breath. Why did you do that?"

buttons. The back of it has the cutest little hustle in the world, organ-pleated at the top and far ing just enough to show how slim the bride really is.
 The sleeves are long, tight to above the elbow where they make graduated puffs that arrive at their fullest just before being attached with a pin pleated ruching head ing. The same fine little pin pleat- ings make a ruching edge down the long, flaring panels of the train and edge the bottom of the skirt all the way around.
 The best touch, possibly, is the very chic little cap which holds the tulle veil, tiny cap which sits tucked ruching standing up about over the forehead, then sweeping down the back.
 The bridesmaids costume for this wedding party are quite as ar- resting and fascinating as the we'd ding gown itself.
 Fashioned of chartreuse net, they are made with molded lines, a flounced shoulder cape of the neat net all finely pleated, with head ing. Then there is a lovely cas- cade of the net pleating which starts wide at fhe hemline, then graduates to narrower pleats as it hears the waistline in the back where it turns up and then cas- cades down the other side. The back of the chartreuse net dress has a very cute little train.
 There is a diminutive brides maids hat, of matching crepe, with little veil that stands out all the way around.

Angie demanded, reaching over and taking the cigaret from his lax fingers. "Stingy!" Bill looked at her piquant pro- file. You're cute, do you know it?" he demanded. You're a lot better tempered than most of those girls in that country club gang, even though they" He pretended to cough. Angie laughed.
 Finish it. big boy. Say they think I'm dirt and something to wipe their feet on. It's no news to me-"
 "I didn't mean that" Bill said awkwardly.
 Angles laugh hadn't a trace of malice in it. "I know all about them," she said. When they come into the shop they don't know I'm there. It's all right with me. Pm not sensitive. wrap up their chocolate nougat and give them the ice just like they do me. Specially that Law renee girl. She sure thinks she's the cats!"
 "Why don't you like herr" Bill luqulTed lQly.
 Angie considered this. "I don't know-exactly," she said slowly. Guess maybe it's because she's just a fake. What mean. she buffers everybody up and makes the cats, too. Then she gets her claws going and oh, kitty, kitty, can she scratch!" She's been friends with Mon- nie for some time. Monnie likes her--I guess" Bill said.
 "She must have a reason then" Angie decided. "Friend of mine works at their house. Maybe I mentioned her"
 Bill winced. He was no snob but it was 8 little galling occa- sionally to realize that the girl he loved and whom he intended to marry consorted with the serv- ants of the people he'd once known as equals.
 Angie caught the expression in the tail of her eye and realized instantly what it meant.
 You don't like that she said shrewdly. You don't like hav- ing me know Hetty Link who's the Lawrence girls maid.'
 ''It's nothing to me-" Bill as- sured her grossly. It's none of my doggone business"
 "Well, she's a funny kid," An gie pursued. "She's got case on the Lawrences' chauffeur. Jim Hewitt = guess you know him. She goes to the movies a lot and tries a Garbo on Jim. Jim doesn't know she's on earth, hardly. Now she's got some nutty idea that the girl friend is trying to vamp Jim and she's all hot and bothered about it."
 You mean Sandra?" Bill asked incredulously.
 Angie nodded.
 Might not be far off" she said. "Jimmy's pretty swell looking in that trick suit with the brass buttons. Anyhow Hetty thinks he is and that makes it SO.

 My little debutante friend look ed very pretty with her eyes spark ling and her complexion glowing with the radiance of youth. Yes, we can begin right away" I agreed. But first, I want you to slip on this white linen smock to keep your pretty frock clean and be sure we are perfectly antiseptic. I'll put one on, too."
 Then I supplied Sally with rub Der gloves, and white cowl for her hair, and she declared it was just like a play! asked Sally what she wanted to see first, and she said "the makings". I ap- proved her choice, for certainly no cream or lotion can be finer than its ingredients.
 We went first, therefore, to the room where the ingredients are tested and sorted. Sally gave a It, tie whoop of surprise. "Those gor- geous water lilies!" she exclaimed. Such piles and piles of them I don't believe I've ever seen so many all together before. The scent reminds me of something"
 They were a beautiful sight. We went over to the long table on which they were heaped, the girls sorting them out and removing petals that were bruised. Sally looked at them so longingly that l gave her one. Perhaps the scent reminds you of water lily cleans ing cream" I suggested. "These lilies will be used for that cream and they give it a. delicate, lux urious fragrance. But more inn portant the vital youth-giving juices of the water lilies are incor- porated in the cream too. That's what keeps your skin so white and soft" explained.

A shimmering pond lily between two tall candles form a delightful centerpiece for the table and is not difficult to make. Cellophane in four thicknesses, put together with 4 parts water and one of mucilage, makes the petals, calyx and leaves. Cut the material in strips slightly wider than the length of the petal to be made and paste together. For the center, cut two strips of the material in gold color 21s inches wide by 10 inches long, paste together and, when nearly dry, clip into a fine fringe along one edge 11z inches deep.

EY YYOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton :
0lsss sy yNs1 ssazsS: Ixc:

The Challenge of the Sweatshops
 Certainly the poor need a friend. Most certainly the children Of the poor need one.
 What is this all about sweat shops? What about children earn ing five cents & day and being docked for mistakes or absences that leave them in debt to criminal proprietors at the end of the week? :?
 The newspapers and magazines have tried to open our eyes for a year.
 Yet it went on. Politicians went on smoking their black cigars and statesmen rolled to offices in limu- cuisines and all the time our child ren and adolescents were doing gal ley work in filthy houses and mills.
 Child service bureaus may have known about it, so also may schools and truant officers. Individuals cer- tainly knew it, explored and ex- posed. Yet what good did 1t do?
 Federal Law Lacking
 Child labor laws are up in in- dividual states. There is no federal law that covers child labor. The childrens' bureau of the depart ment of labor has done probably more than all the other bureaus or departments either state or na- tional put together. It collects fig ures, watches conditions in every part of the country and reports them by bulletins and letters to those who are in a position to do something about it.
 Yet politicians continue to smoke cigars and split hairs about the morals of beer and whether 1t is right to hit a golf ball or baseball on Sunday-as in Pennsylvania and the children work on. States men have fused over Europe, and our children worked on.
 Conditions Grow Worse
 Of course in the last year things have been getting worse. The sweatshops that sprang up in Con- necticut and New Jersey to be near New York and yet not in it, gained courage and boldly struck further west. Now they are thick in Penn sylvania and elsewhere.
 After it is investigated thor oughly and the fear of God and the law thrown into those slave driving proprietors-when the con- demned places have folded their machines and silently stolen away in the night, as they came-when children are restored to home and school and their families helped, everything will be lovely again until next time.
 Sweatshops follow bad times when people are bargain-minded and do not question the source of the clothes they wear, or the sup plies they use. Every few years we have this child-labor and sweat shop blow-up.
 Unified Action Needed
 But the whole unsavory business should be scotched by national law, even an amendment if neces- sary, fortified by state ratification and cooperation, so that the cheap and greedy opportunists who fatten on misery and child life will have to export themselves and their ma chimes to limbo, for once and for all.
 No one knows what damage has been done so far, but it is enough. Citizens are taxed to keep up hos pitals that try to save life and death for children. But round the corner, sweatshops are running life faster than we can save it. Why? Because we Americans don't push our politics. We are all in- volved when it comes to real fatcs. Each of us is guilty. It should never be allowed to happen again.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
9!9szsS NEA ssMSE !Ns;,

The first hot days should send you scurrying into adepartment or drug store to stock up on the sum- mer toilet articles that will make life easier.
 You'll need a fresh supply of deodorants, perhaps. Look at the new little gadget, like a lipstick, that you use under your arms for precipitation. Look at the creams for the same purpose. And don't forget that there are several kinds of liquid deodorants that must be used according to directions and prove a grand boon when so done.
 Bath powder is by now a neces- sity. But there are some new body powders that have a deodorant quality to them that should be on your shelf this summer. Also pow der for your feet!
 Cold showers mornings, after a salt rub, do a lot to down perspira- ton.
 Cologne is a grand last touch under the arms. More effective than powder. really, and much cooler in summer. Also, give your hands dash of nice lavender wa- ter or cologne and rub them to- gether a little bit and see if you don't feel like going out to greet the world.

Not only would such couple probably live in discord but there would be considerable prob- ability that the children would in- herit disharmonic, discordant na- tures-one child like the father another like the mother. and since the parents are naturally so unlike the prospect would be for a most unhappy, quarrelsome brood of children.
