n Hope chests of far-away places
are filled with sapphire seas, rugged
coasts, sunny beaches, gambling Ca
sinos, Oriental sampans, lush wales
and lofty mountains. Some whims

Winter, Norway and its fjords In Sum-
mer; and yet other rocking-ch
travellers sail persistently in their day
dreams, around the world.
Drawn together by their common
love of travel, less than a dozen young
Washington women banded in May
1882, to do their dreaming together
They formed the Wanderlust Travel
Club. Hopes of travel dimmed by
the depression, they sought and found
expression for their pent-up desires
to become better acquainted with the
world.
MISS ANNA E. WIDMYER launched
the plan with a few friends
They started with a study of the
United States, and the first two years
of the life of the club were devoted
to exploring America. Club members
were assigned to read up on States
and tell the club of what they should
see and the diversions they would fine
when they got there. All went well
until the theoretical travellers tried tc
cross the Mississippi River. With few
exceptions, they found only meageI
information in dry ard dusty tones
Travel literature on the West was
practically non-existant. They re-
sorted to inviting speakers who knew
the distant States, and have con-
tinued this scheme for their scheduled
tours to other countries. Meeting once
a month, they have done" IL foreign
lands.
The club, with its membership nov
grown to about 80, retains much tn,
intimate character it had wher
formed. Friends invite friends, whit
become members. Moderate annua
dues are charged, and the fund goe!
toward paying transportation expense
of the speakers and :or making trip
to nearby points of interest.
Officers of the club are Mrs. Wayne
Bobst, president; Miss Eileen Robin
son, vice president: Miss Martha Bo
corselski, secretary, and Miss Emil,
Coyner, treasurer. Miss Widmyer il

Tower of Babel Rises.

GENEVA, November % R).-Twen-
tieth century version of the Tower
of Babel has now risen to its full
height above the shores of Lake
Geneva.
More than so nations, composing
the membership of the League of Ma
tions, have contributed to the building
of the new S10,000,o0O League Palace
in Ariana Park. The secretariat of
the League will be transferred to the
new headquarters in early December
from its present home in the old
Hotel National.
The main structure has its frontage
on central court Of horseshoe shape,
known as the court of honor, facing
the lake. Around this court are the
council chamber, the assembly hall
and the library. The assembly hall
will accommodate 1000 persons. The
central portion has room for 800 del
egates of the various member states,
with places also for 200 experts and
secretaries of delegations and 100
League officials. The galleries have
seats for 300 official guests and the
public.
The library and the council build
angs are symmetrically placed on the
sides Of the court of honor. The
library is designed for 100000
volumes and includes special reading
and study rooms for law, politics,
economics and social and health
questions.
The secretariat building contains 400
Offices. The total number of Offices
and other rooms in the new League
Palace exceeds 900. The glass sur
face of the buildings, exclusive of sky
lights, would cover more than two
acres of land.
Well-known artists and decorators
of several nations have been drafted
by the League to finish the interior.

Beauty Lies
Along Roads
Of Ireland
Coast Highway From
Belfast to Portrush
Offers Variety.

ELFAST, Ireland, November %.
- If all the linen produced In
| Belfast in year were made
D up into single piece of cloth,
It would cover an area of 10 square
miles. But even though the city
leads the world in linen making,
Irishmen will tell you that that cloth
belongs not to Belfast, but to all
Ulster, and that the city's real claim
to fame is its ship building.
The center of Belfast is made out
of a marsh, and river flows beneath
High street, one of its main streets.
Nearly every large building in 1t has
to have a foundation of piles.
The city has remained compact.
In half an hour one can leave 1t en-
tirely and wander in the grassy hills
that rise on every side, or walk across
brown moors, and in few minutes
one can motor out to one of the most
beautiful drives in Ireland, the coast
road to PortruSh.
BEFORE one takes the coast route,
however, there are two places to
visit. Lough Neagh with its legendary
power of petrifying things left in it,
and little Kilroot, where Dean Swift
lived for a short time. According to
an Irish tale, Lough Neagh fishermen
have petrif:ed legs, and when they
want to sharpen their razors, they
merely turn up their trousers and use
their shins as homes. No child visits
Ireland without firmly planting a
stick in Lough Neagh and vowing to
return in future years, when, like the
legs of the fishermen, it will have
turned to stone.
Only few miles out of Belfast Is
Kilroot, where Swift served for a
while as Episcopalian vicar. Since
the people of the region were Presby-
terians, his congregation was ex-
tremely small and one Sunday he
tried a ruse to get more to church
He spent part of the morning carry
Ing stones into the church, and peo-
pie, curious to see what he was doing
with them, followed him in. Then
Swift locked the doors and conducted
his service.
THE coast road from Belfast to
Portrush is but 86 miles long, yet
its variety of lovely scenery is amaz-
ing. 1t runs over hills and noun
tains, beside the sea, along lakes and
rivers, falls and glens, and passes now
through gay little seaside resorts, now
through Irish villages of only a
matched house or two.
At Waterfront is the opening of the
loveliest of County Antrims nine
glens, Glenariff. Wide, with high
sides running sharply up to the
mountains, it is noted for its water
falls and cascades. It's soil is some
of the richest in Ireland and its nat
ural beauty draws hundreds of visi-
tors each year.
Portrush, a resort with the sea on
three sides, is a small city, but ad-
mirably suited for visitors. Its golf
links are famous, its beaches fine, its
air bracing, and last but not least in
its neighborhood are many places
where one can enjoy solitude, thing
that travellers cannot always find.

TRENTON, Mo, March 4.-Arthur
M. Hyde, former Secretary of Agricul-
ture, asserted in q statement last
night the wisdom of the Hoover re-
lief policy is amply proven by con-
'trast with the results of the New
Deal"
Replying to an address made by
Federal Relief Administrator Harry
Hopkins in Chicago recently, Hyde
denied the administration of President
Hoover concealed the size Of relief
rolls.
THE Hoover administration con-
cealed nothing" he said. "Mr.
Hoover organized relief, in cooper
alton with the Governors Of the va
rious States, upon Q non-pohtical
basis. The Federal Govern
ment co-operated to add to local funds
in accordance with local needs.
The figures were and are still In the
possession Of State and local gov
ernments.
The former cabinet ofhcer said
Hopkins should add truthfulneSs to

There can be no question that the
mail man let Mr.. Roosevelt down in
the wage relief dispute. The Presi-
dents pals say 1t was because the
country did not understand the issue,
that he did not handle his publicity
the way he should have. They
thought it was q very bad slip when
Hyde Park sources announced del
uge Of approving letters one day
and had to modify the statement later
The hidden factor seems to have
been that Mr.. Roosevelt was fighting
organized labor minorities who could
promote mail, whereas he had to
rely on voluntary contributions which
he made no effort to stimulate.
Huge Pistol Guards Long.
One of Hueys friends vouches for
the fact that one of his bodyguards,
a State policeman, carries q unique
weapon, Q double barreled pistol
about 10 inches long. It Is really q
miniature sawed-od shotgun. Huey's
guard is said to wrap 1t in news
papers to conceal 1t on occasions,
leaving only the trigger outside for
use.
Whether this is true or not, It Is

These precautions are unusual, but
not entirely superfuous.
