Farm Women Won't Eat
At White House Party

In view of the fact that $500
guests are a lot of guests to en-
terrain at one time, the Rural
Countrywomen of the World need
not expect anything to eat when
they come to Mrs. Roosevelt's gar
den party at the White House this
afternoon.
Mrs. Roosevelt said today that
she will serve drinks-lemonade
and the like. The White House
won't even try, she said, to serve
anything more than that because
of the large number of guests.
All of the delegates to the con-
clave, women from all over the
world, will attend the garden party,
where the President will greet
them from the south portico.
Mrs. Roosevelt has arranged for
a group Of women from Iowa to
be near the south portico, where

and the means to thedesired end
should be characteristic Of our
traditional democratic processes.
First Lady Speaks
Mrs. Roosevelt warned that
there must be a necessary adjust
ment for closer cooperation as
against the necessary individual
ism which marked the farm home
of the pioneer period in America.
There also exists the necessity Of
learning how to live In the ma
chine age, Mrs. Roosevelt con-
tinued, adding:
II look forward to . better
world and I realize it will not
arrive without the same kind
of effort which we have put
into our past"
After Mrs. Roosevelt's address
today, Mrs. Watt is to reply to
both Government officials and
the wife of the Chief Executive,
in words tinged with anxiety for
the welfare Of agriculture and
commerce.
After greeting its honorary
president, Marchioness Of Aber.
deem and Tamair Of Scotland,
the women will go in a group to
the White House to the largest
garden party ever staged there.
Preparing tea and cakes for so
many women will be only a
minor task compared with the
duty Of the First Lady to shake
the hands Of 5000 women.
Rooms ut Premium
Mrs. Watt explained the con.
vention would not be confined
to business. After tours through
the city, the women will meet
at 8 p. m. in Constitution Hall
to hear music by the United
States Navy Band and reports
from their delegates from Aus
tralia, Canada, Ceylon, Germany,
Latvia, New Zealand, Palestine,
South Africa, Sweden, Southern
Rhodesia, India, Switzerland and
other countries.
The immediate problem facing
the women today was the queS-
ton Of housing. Women were
filling farm houses in nearby
Maryland and Virginia, tourists
camps, hotels, rooming houses. It
appeared adequate quarters were
at a premium.
Asked how long the convention
would last, Mrs. Watt replied:
"UntiI our business Is over.
We don't know how long that
will take. We have q lot to do"

POSTAL CLERK
EFFICIENCY
RISES
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Efficiency of employees Of the
Post Office Department has risen
more than 1876 per cent in the past
% years, according to figures
lifted from special surveys Of the
Department Of Labor by the Ma
tional Federation Of Post Office
Clerks.
The statistics showing the in
creased output of postal workers
were actually based on q survey
from 1908 to 1880 which has been
entered into the Congressional
Record by interested folk on the
Hill. And, according to Gilbert
Hyatt, legislative representative OF
the N. F. P. o. c., employees are
failing to receive more than q
small return Of the heightened ef-
ficiency in the form Of improved
working conditions.
According to the survey, the
postal leader states, If the man
hour" output Of the Post Office
had continued at the rate Of 1908,
it would now be necessary to hire
nearly twice as many employees as
Postmaster General Farley now
finds necessary. In 1880 there
were 270,012 on the rolls, and he
points out that but for efficiency
more than $4,000 would have
been needed. This, it is indicated,
would have risen to above the
6O0, 900 mark by this time.
Stating that the increase Of
mechanization within the Post OF.
flee Department, particularly the
use Of automobiles and airplaneS,
has added tremendously to the
average burden carried by the av.
erage worker, because Of the
greater demand placed on the
postal service, Mr.. Hyatt adds:
""This splendid showing was
made during q period in which
the hours Of postal employees
were slowly following the trend
toward shorter hours Of labor In
private industry. It reveals the
tremendous contribution made
by the employees to the efficiency
and economy Of the biggest
business in the wOrld..-
"But the cold figures also re-
veal that only q small portion
Of the results Of this devotion to
service have been returned to
the employees in improved con-
ditiOnS. For example, in the
procession Of this pyramiding
efficiency, they have absorbed
the eight-hOur day, the 44-h0ur
week and now the five-day week.
They still work longer hours
than other callings Of compar-
able skill, training and high
morale"
According to the quoted stats
tics, postal output in 1908 was
more than IL billion units, while
in 1880 it had risen to more than
80 billion.

PRESBYTERIANS
 HAVE SECEDED

Philadelphia, June 15-(UP)- Several hundred members of congre- cations of three Presbyterian churches followed their ministers yesterday in a secession from the mother church to Q newly -organ- ized denomination. Two ministers occupied their pulpits in defiance of suspension by the presbytery, but later with drew and held services elsewhere. At the Central North Broad Street Presbyterian church, it was said that all but 65 perSons left the church with the pastor, Rev. Merrill T. Macpherson.
 A similar condition was reported ct Mcdowell Memorial church. After standing in the pulpit for nearly an hour, the Rev. Theodore J. Jamsma left the church with a majority of the congregation following him. Ser vices were held in an Elks lodge home directly across the street from the church. The controversy is cen- tered around the fight between fun- sIamentalists and modernists in the Presbyterian church. Last week, 8 ministers seeded from the church and formed new denomination, the Presbyterian church of America.
