CATHEDRAL GIVEN
SIX STATE FLAGS
Bishop Freeman breaches
on Character of First
President.

Six State flags were presented tt
Washington Cathedral at the even
song service yesterday. The banners
will hang with those of 81 other COM
monwealths in the great choir of the
church.
Right Rev. James T.. Freeman
Bishop of Washington. was the
preached at the dedication ceremony,
and a feature of the occasion was the
reading of a prayer written by George
Washington.
The Christian and patriotic char
acter of the first President was the
bishops theme. He stressed the i'm
portance of Washington's faith as the
source of his power to influence ma
tional events, Piled for closer ties of
union between the States and argued
for continued domestic development
as opposed to foreign entanglements. y
The peace, prosperity and security of
the Nation, he said, rest upon loyal
obedience to the ideals of Christi
anity.
The bishop received the State flags
at the chancel steps. Boys from ST.
Adams School were the bearers. Mrs.
c. C. Williams gave the symbol of
Massachusetts, in memory of her par
ents, the late Senator and Mrs. Henry
Cabot Lodge; former Representative
and Mrs. Frank c. Monden that of
Wyoming. in honor of Rev Dr. John
Roberts. missionary to the Indians,
and Robert C. Aston that of Georgia,
IN memory of Adjt. Gen. Robert A,
Aston. ....
Miss Bertha Noyes represented Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur B. Lisle of Provi-
denCe, who gave the flag of Rhode
Island in memory of their children,
Whiting and Hope Lisle, and Mrs. Guy
D. Goff presented the banner Of West
Virginia, in memory of her husband,
late Senator from that State.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce was represented by Miss Vella
Winner in offering the flag of Oregon
Eugene Black, governor. Federal
Reserve Beard, was the sponsor of
the Georgia flag for Mr. Aston.
Canon Raymond L. Wolven had
charge Of the arrangements for the
service, and Canon Anson Phelps
Stokes read the lesson.

AS for the ideal frock, 1t should be
short, have an inverted box pleat be-
tween the shoulders SO as to allow
full play of the arms or should be
backless for hot weather with tailor
ed band over the shoulders. Abso-
lute freedom of movement is the i'm
portant essential. Chic comes second.
But the wise woman will combine the
two.
Tennis shorts, when La Colbert
wears them. are made of fine white
pique and have tiny pleats in them.
beach shorts does not permit sufficient
leg play for the courts.
Bravado is the word for the Sum-
mel style. You must appear like a
lady Captain Kidd. a she-desperado
ready and daring. Bette Davis wears
desperate looking hat of black crepe
heavily stitched in a design which
flows from the crown center to the
very outside of the brim; the brim
is sharply curved back in front re-
vealing the face fully. The hat itself
begins half way back on the head so
that the brow and front of the coif-
fure is completely exposed.
With hat of this type, the dark
dress, severe in cut but with its sever
ity broken by frilly rufi1es. is the ideal
thing. Navy crepe or heavy black
crepe are favorites for this purpose.
A belt of leather is especially good
with this type frock for afternoons
or for luncheon. When the dress is
intended for tea wear stitched belt
of the same material with a crystal
buckle.
The new beach suits will not have
any skirts of any type whatsoever, ac-
cording to local fashion experts. The
maillot-a trunk of abbreviated pro-
portions woven IN one with a scany,
backless top-will be the ideal.
White maillots will continue In
favor, since the tan fad will prevail
again this Summer. Sally Eilers

snakes which do not always be-
have normally.
Prof. H. j. Deuel., jr., Univer-
sity of Southern California, re-
vealed that the human female sex
suffers more from nausea and
weakness than the male after a
week of fasting because females
are less able to oxidize fat during
starvation.
Stable Price Held Needed
This is probably because the
female sex glands stimulate the
production of a hormone by the
pituitary gland at the base of the
brain and this hormone tends to
inhibit the oxidation of fat.
Robert Schurman, hydraulic
engineer, declared the freedom Of
individuals to enter industry de-
spite their ignorance of condi-
tionS has led to an over capitaliza-
ton and destructive competition.
DR.. Frank A. Waring, econo-
mist, said the most pressing need
in American economic affairs is
a stabilized price level, and the
best way Of achieving it is not
through q controlled currency but
through credit control.

Negotiations aimed at peaceful
settlement of labor troubles in
the steel industry were taken over
by Secretary of Labor Perkins to.
day as steel union leaders jour-
neyed back to the tri-State steel
area to report progress in their
conferences with President Roose-
welt, Miss Perkins. and national
officers Of the A. F. Of L.
Donald Richberg, chief counsel
to the NRA, arrived in Washing
ton today after a series Of con.
ferences with members Of the
American Steel and Iron Institute
in New York yesterday, as noted
exclusively by International News
Service.
Two Plans POndered
1t was believed that Mr.. Rich
berg bore him the Institutes reac-
tions to both the three-man media
ton board proposal of the steel
union and the plan for similar
board which will be set up under
the compromise labor-diSputes bill
signed by the President yesterday.
Mr.. Richberg declined to d.
vulge either the subject or results
of his discussions with the steel
masters.
Secretary Perkins today received
a telephone report from Mr.. Rich
berg on the results Of his trip and
was scheduled to confer person
ally with him later today on the
situation. She maintained a re-
ticent attitude regarding progress
of the current negotiations, de-
clining to say whether she had
been in contact with Steel Insti-
tute leaders after departure Of
the union chieftain.
Secretary Perkins in Key Post
She answered all queries with
the terse statement that she "had
nothing to add" to the Presi-
dents statement issued last eve
ming when he placed the negotia-
tions in her hands, empowering
her to represent him in confer
ences designed to avert finally
the threatened steel strike.
The Presidents statement. fol-
lowing a joint meeting with Miss
Perkins and the union leaders,
expressed the hope that a settle
ment could be effected without
either labor or management for
saking the principles for which
they are contesting.
