the present one is a man after their 4.
own hearts. Well born, well bred
and in their eyes gallant and fearless
leader.
Who Will Carve the Turkey
At Warm Springs?
Doubtless every one wished the
President a heartier bon voyage than
the little infantile paralysis patients
at Warm Springs, Ga, as they knew
1t meant that they would not have
their big brother friend with them
on Thanksgiving day to carve the
turkey and make fun for them. From
one Thanksgiving to another they
look forward and count on having the
President with them, and for days
before there is excitement and Won
dering who will be nearest to him at
table. Word comes from down that
way that now they are wondering and
hoping that Mrs. Roosevelt will pinch
hit" for him, for she, too, is q great
favorite and provides those delicious
little surprises in the way Of sweets
and odd little dinner favors.
Mrs. Roosevelt Writes Christmas
Messages for Salvation Army.
In the midst of her crowded days
and speaking engagements in the
West, Mrs Roosevelt took time to
write a Christmas message for the
Southern War Cry, the Salvation
Army Magazine, in which she said:
81 wish that every family throughout
this land of ours who can afford 1t
would make sure that on Christmas
day they and their children plan for
some family or individual in the
community and make some one happy
who has not the wherewithal to cele-
brate the day themselves This
is the day for gifts. If you have
nothing material, at least remember
to give gratitude for anything which
has come to you during the year that
has passed"
Miss Ellen Wilkinson, Socialist MEM
Der of the British Parliament from
Jarrow, who rose in the House of Com
mons the other day to ask why pages
were torn from perfectly reputable
American magazines sold in London,
Is the woman M. P, who walked much
of the 260 miles from Jarrow-on-Tyne,
IN the extreme northeast part Of Eng
land, last month with the 200 unem-
ployed men in search Of work. The
marchers called themselves not the
forgotten men," but the "forsaken
men," The Shipbuilding yards and
steel shops up there are closed and the
men claimed that SO per cent Of the
population was out of work. The
marchers were thinly clad, some Of
them ragged and Miss Wilkinson,
known in the Commons as Perky the
Red-head" sang IT'S a Long, Long
Trail" to cheer them on the march.
American Congresswoman Will
Fly to South America.
The small band of Jarrow men led
Ay Miss Wilkinson, carried q petition.
which they hoped to present to the
House of Commons: Now over here
our lady Representatives in Congress
do it differently. When Representa-
tive at large from New York, Mrs.
Caroline O'Day, is ready to present the
petitions against war and preparations
for war, of Peace Mandate Committee,
to the Inter-American Conference for
the Maintenance Of Peace, meeting at
Buenos Aires, on the first, she, with 10
other women, including Mrs. Carrie
Gait and DR.. Mary Woolley, will fly
to South America. The petitions,
which, by the way, have more than
q million signatures, had to be sent
by boat. They made quite some
bundle.
Mr.. Fenwick's
Chesterfieldean Manners.
Mrs. Gay Fenwick, considered one
Of Baltimore's cleverest and wittiest
women, told very amusing story
about her son, Mr.. Charles Gay Fen
wick, chairman of the Neutrality SUBJ
committee of Secretary Hull's delega-
tion to the Buenos Aires Conference.
Mr.. Fenwick, one Of Americas most
distinguished authorities on interna-
tional law and professor of political
science at Bryn Mawr College, is noted
for his courteous and gallant manners
on all occasions and to all men. When
visiting his mother he was awakened
in the early hours of the morning by
hearing footsteps on the second floor;
Fastening down stairs he met in the
hall an elderly colored man, who was
evidently there for the purpose Of rob-
berry. Mr.. Fenwick asked what he
meant by entering his mothers house
at that time of day, and receiving no
