Gently, at the opening of the Interna-

in Vatican City, it is said that with
perfect ease he addressed the session
Of Catholic journalists from all parts
of the world for an hour in seven diff

well as his fiuency. On his trip to

he was not familiar, he took q tutor

glass, copper and textile industries,
many of which come from "the

BY ROBERT CRAWFORD.

T A dinner the other night at
~ which he was not present, it
~ was decided that Mr.. Robert
4 4 Lincoln O'Brien, chairman Of
the United States Tariff Commission,
was tops in Washington as an after
dinner speaker. Tall, bit angular,
straight forward in address, he has
delicious sense Of dry humor and q
way of directing a pointed shaft so
tempered with good humor and keen
wit as not to give ofiense, and still
carry his point. With malice toward
none Mr.. O'Brien tells some homely
truths which are quite revealing.
His career as a correspondent, edi-
tor and publisher put him in close
contact with public men Of affairs
throughout the world. His first real
contact with politics was perhaps
when quite a young man just fresh
secretary to the late President Grover
Cleveland, from his nomination until
1895. He saw the rugged President
in many moods and under both try
ing and brilliant circumstances, and
to the last maintained great admira-
ton and respect for him. A Presi.
dent Is not always Q hero to his
personal secretary.
Possessing the rare gift Of friend
ship, Mr.. O'Brien seems never hap
pier than when gathering around
him at small dinner q few old
friends, where the wine Of remi-
niscence flows and sparkles. And. by
the way, he was not named for
Abraham Lincoln-among his attrib-
utes Of distinction that is not one
but one of his most popular talks
is about the martyred President. Gen.
Robert E. Lee is one of his chosen
heroes; his understanding of Mars
Robert" as man and soldier is
somewhat unusual for one reared in
another atmosphere. As a Yankee and
Republican, Mr.. O'Brien Is a sort of
adopted brother down in the State
of Presidents, for he is q Phi Beta
Kappa honorary-of old William and
Mary College at Williamsburg, the
association or fraternity of which
Thomas Jefferson was one of the
founders.
The First Visit From
Vatican Secretary of State.
For the first time in the history
Of the Vatican its papal secretary of
state Is a visitor to the United States
and has already charmed those who
have met him. His eminence, Cardinal
Eugenio Pacelli, has visited South
America, but did not come to the
States. When elected to the Sacred
College of Cardinals, in 1918, he was
one of its youngest members, and
as present head of that college 1t is
his duty to verify the death Of the
Pope. to direct preparations for the
conclave to take charge of it. He is
one Of Europe's most distinguished
diplomats, his career having extended
over period of IS years and on many
occasions has been highly honored by
King Victor Emmanuel Italyis be-
loved King.

the old Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park
on November 7. A special act OF Con-
gress was required for the authorize
ton for this memorial, as 1t was the
first to the diplomatic representative Of
a foreign government to be located in
Washington on Federal Government
owned land. Mr.. William r. CASTOR
was largely instrumental in the sue

mortal Is described as terrace of

being designed with squares Of heavy

classes Of Americans. Some one has
said of M. Jusserand, Whichever

Former Ambassadors Daughter
Is q Golf Fan.
Elizabeth Houghton. who became a
golf fan while living in England, when
her father was American Ambassador
to the Court of St. James, has been
putting up a wonderful front at the
old royal game in the recent matches.
She is a thoroughgoing sport and is
a most familiar figure on the Chevy
Chase course. Miss Houghton, who is
most cosmopolitan and takes life at
its best, does not seem particularly
fond of general society-though she
did enjoy London.
The Houghton house out on Massa-
chusetts avenue is beautiful example
Of the Georgian period. 1t was planned
by Mr.. Houghton while in London.
He was so anxious that every detail
should be harmonious that thousands
Of brick were collected from demol-
ished old houses that the walls might
have the soft, pink tones which age
alone can bring. The house is con-
sidered one of the purest type OF
Georgian architecture in the Capital
not Georgian front and middle Vic
torian back. Even the gardens blend
in with the picture: fir, magnolia and
holly trees; old-fashioned flowers such
as rosemary, sweet marjoram. peri
Wrinkle and other perennials, that were

century.

ADVOCATES NEW SYSTEM
The speaker expressed himself
as dissatisfied with the system Of
state control in effect in France
and other European countries, but
indicated that some similar pro-
gram might well be inaugurated
here. He declared:
IF you appeal to the mass
in most mercenary, hard-b0iled.
economic words, these words
have the curious opposing effect
of stirring up mass hatred Of
misery and suffering.
1T is our conviction that this
economic, materialistic argument

9Th, Pope suffers greatly.
His left leg is not only afflicted
with varicosiS, but also with a
very painful attack of neutritis,
which strikes particularly at
night.
"He suffers greatly at night,
going at times completely with.
out sleep, and is in a state of
high agitation.
Notwithstanding all this, the
Holy Father continues to attend
daily to his work with all the
assiduOusness the state of his
health permits"
Vitality Is Low
The varicose veins in his legs
which collapsed yeterday and
caued a hemorrhage, have showed
no signs of healing thus far. This
condition indicated that
the Pope's vitality is extremely
low, and increased fears that
gangrene might set in.
He heard mass as usual from
his bedroom today, however.
There are at present IS cardi

One or two additional cardinals
have already been named, it is be-
lieved, In Pectore"-their names
known only to the Pope.
Two More Expected
If he holds two, according to the
Papal prerogative, locked in his
heart" then only two more pre-,
lates will have to be elevated to
the purple.
Unless he shows a substantial
improvement Immediately, how.
ever, the Pope may never carry
out his wish, authoritative Vatican
sources admitted.

ians, one is a Spaniard, and the
other is the youngest of the cardi

to be favorite of the Pope.
Meanwhile. life in the papal
court has virtually ceased. AT
fairs of the church have been in
definitely suspended for the first
time in the IS years of Plus ks
pontificate, and the first time in
SO years of church history.
Those close to the Pope, watch
ing his heart slowly weaken under
the septic influences of his blood,
foresaw that if the Pope does not
rally substantially within the next
few days, he may go into a rapid
decline.

Employees Also Seek
Better Workinq
Conditions

The opening wedge in a fight
to be waged in Congress this ses-
sion for better working conditions
and higher pay for Government
employees was driven in today by
a letter to Representative Mary T.
Norton 3D., New Jersey, chair
man Of the House District Com
mittee from the D. C. Jail Lodge
No. ia of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees.
In this letter the executive COM
mittee Of the lodge calls attention
to the working conditions of the
Jail guards and matrons which
caused some small comment at
the past session.
The letter accompanied by reso-
buttons passed by the lodge and
comparison of working hours and
wage scales declares these men
and women are subjected to Eek
cessive working hours per week
oA4A AA4oA4 AACAC41U SNdAC Va ""6N0'
Schedule Noted
Attention is called to the fact
that it is necessary that this per-
sonnet keep up a schedule extend
ing seven days a week, 365 days
year. In comparison it is pointed
out that the average Government
workers hours is limited to five
and a half days a week.
With private industry turning to
a five day week and proportionate
increases in salaries, it is expected
that representations from differ
ent sections of District and Fed
eral Government workers, such as
the Jail lodge, will focus attention
of the national legislation toward
righting these inequalities and
providing higher salary scales and
better working hours.
Platform Offered
The platform suggested to Mrs.
Norton by the lodge includes: Suf-
ficient appropriation to put the
workers on a five and half day
week; improved conditions to aid
in health and efficiency; new
scale of adequate and fair sal
aries: regulated grades for promo
tions; the right to transfer from
this work to other Government de-
partments and the purchase of the
uniforms by the District govern
ment.
Several leaders in Congress have
already expressed the view that
Civil Service reform will be one of
the biggest subjects to be tackled
by the Seventy-fifth Congress. Be
sides pay raises and better working
conditions; overtime and the ex-
tension of the Civil Service CLASH
fication will be major problems.
