Evanston, H., March 14.-Increas- ing public recognition of the long, range objectives of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union has brought a surprising wave of general support" and the unions goal of 5000 new members during 1889 is in sight, Mrs. Anna Marden DeYo, national secretary, revealed today.
 Pointing out that 34,000 new members were added and 934 new units were organized last night, Mrs. DeYo explained that the member ship campaign, part of the five year Francis E. Willard Centenary program will reach its climax at the national convention in Rochester, N. Y, September 26 to October 3, inclusive.

CABLES FRANCO
 GETS QUICK REPLY

Amherst, Mass, March 14--Up) Just for a joke, Beta Theta Fl at Amherst college cabled Generals sino Francisco Franco that the Spanish Nationalist Government would be permitted to be on friend- ly terms with the fraternity.
 Yesterday the chapter received this reply from Franco's state de- partment:
 'sThe government of Spain wishes to thank your party for its mes sage.
 It is hoped that your sympathies and action will soon be shared and duplicated by the President of your great country"

membership has gained steadily each year since repeal, the astounding increase of 34,000 in 1888 and the universal response to our program to add still another 50,000 this year is indicative of the publcs inter- est in the unions battle against dope, disease and drink.
 Convinced that the public temper is at the boiling point in regard to social diseases, marijuana and drinking drivers and favorable to the unions national program of education in the scientific aspects of these problems, the Willard Gen. tenary program is being centered on them during 1889.
 "As a part of the unions pro- gram, a million dollar subscription fund is being rapidly completed. This is knowh as the Scientific Tenn perance Education Fund and every cent is being used to broadcast through all educational channels the scientific effects of alcohol and other narcotics on the human body and on social conditions"
 Mrs. DeYo pointed out that since January of 1884, the Willard Gen. tenary program has been pointed directly at youths relation to nar- cotics and disease. The alcohol edu- cation program, she said, has been placed on an absolutely scientific basis and the unions fight on mari- juana and social disease has helped to bring much new state and fed- eral control legislation.
 Leaflets Distributed
 "The w. c. T. U. was the first l. recognize these problems, Mrs. DeYo asserted. Our first leaflets on social disease were distributed 39 years ago.
 "Our education program is based solely upon facts gathered and in- terpreted by disinterested scientists. These facts are' caught entirley de- void of emotional angles"
 Mrs. DeYo declares that post-re- peal developments have given im- petus to still wider acceptance of the unions objectives.
 Two unfortunate national effects of liquor have been responsible, l" she said. "These are the drink ing driver and the uncontrolled tavern"
 More than 10000 individual units of the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union are scattered throughout the United States and officials at national headquarters declare that the paid-up membership is now more than half 8 million women. This means, they assert, that there are not less than one million asso- ciates when men, children and ac- tive but not paid-up members are included.

National Defense Urqed
By House Member

Declaring war cannot be prevented
by application of theories. Repre-
sentative Bertrand w. Gearhart of
California said yesterday that failure
to support the Government in its
national defense program today
would be folly" indeed. He spoke
on the radio program of the Dis
trict Daughters of the American
Revolution broadcast over Station
WJSV.
The speaker, however, declared
that the way to peace lis not to
be found in meddling in the affairs
of nations far beyond the seas that
separate us from the turmoil of
their politics"
Representative Gearhart also
pointed out that the word "ade-
quate" in its relation to national
defense is a relative term. adding.
"The adequacy of our defense is to
be determined by the dangers with
which we are beset."
He praised the Daughters for their
vigilance and steadfastness when
the freedom of the people is threat
ened.

Lutheran Church of the Incarna-

Row House Lawn
Fertilizer Costs
Owner $50

The owner of one row house in
Washington with its customary
small ground space in front expects
to have a lawn to behold before the
end of the summer.
He reported to the Better Business
Bureau yesterday that several nights
ago a New Jersey truck pulled up
before his home and two men aboard
offered to spread fertilizer on his
front lawn for 81 a bucket. The
householder thought it was a good
idea and told them to go ahead. A
half hour later he was startled when
they reported so buckets, $50. Stih
dazed, he wrote check.
When morning dawned he made
an inspection. 1t didn't look like
$50, in fact 1t didn't even look like
$40. He called the bank at am.
to stop payment on the check. Alas,
the truck operators had been wait.

my real ambition" she con-
fessed, "is to take slow boat around
the world"
It's undoubtedly the Latin stu
dent in Mrs Douglas that turns her
interest to the Mediterranean. Born
Mildred Riddle, in Oregon, and edu-
Gated at the State university, she
entered the Yakima High School
to teach Latin in the early 2Os.
Fate had it that there should be on
the faculty an English teacher by
the name of William o. Douglas.
She taught for a year after their
meeting. while he worked his way
across the continent to study law
in New York. He went back for her
in 1923, and thus began the part
nership that helped to bring him
to the Supreme Court at 40.
Mrs. Douglas admits she never
quite had hunch that her husband
would some day be occupying a place
in the -pillared building on
Capitol HILL but she does offer this
bit of prophecy:
MY father said after he met
my husband for the first time, That
boys going to be judge some day.
I don't know how many times he
repeated that to my mother"
There are two Douglas children,
Mildred, 9, who at the moment has
high hopes of being an artist, and
William, T. who VOWS he's going to
be farmer. Mrs. Douglas admits
she would simply be delighted if
my son would become lawyer"
Minimizes Her Past.
AS for her role in furthering the
career of her husband, Mrs. Douglas
modestly minimizes her part with
the observation that she has tried
to make everything very simple
at the house by taking on routine
so as to save him in everything
possible"
There was one final question to be
put to Mrs. Douglas. All things being
equal, would she rather be the wife
of Supreme Court justice or of
President?
I'D much rather be married to
justice" she said Immediately and
seriously. You see, my husbands
whole career has been in the law
and this is the climax of every
thing"

DR.. Ellison reported that the Ma

BY PAULINE FREDERICK,

There was one other high point
in the career of the newly appointed
justice of the Supreme Court that
stirred Mrs. William O. Douglas al
most as much as hearing that her
husband had been appointed to the
highest tribunal. 1t was the time
he was appointed to the full profess
sorship of law at Yale.
On the eve of taking Mr.. Douglas
off for short holiday on the golf
links and tennis courts farther
South before he settles down seri-
ously to his court duties, pretty Mrs
Douglas took a little time out to
recall her reactions to some of his
achievements.
Out West, we had all heard so
much about Yale, Columbia and
Harvard that it seemed to be a peak
of his career when Dean Hutchins
selected him for the professorship,
she explained.
But, of course, that was before
William Orville Douglas was ap-
pointed to the high judicial bench
to fill the vacancy left by Louis D.
Brandeis. What that moment meant
to Mrs. Douglas could be seen in the
elation in her young face and dane
ing blue eyes.
Will "Sit In" at Court.
incidentally, Mrs. Douglas plans
to be sitting in the Supreme Court
quite often from now on to watch
the proceedings, because Mr.. Doug
las has changed one of the ideas he
had when he was teaching at Yale
In those days, even though custom
had been amenable, Prof. Douglas
was not willing that his wife 'sit in"
on any of his lectures.
There are at least two ambitions
Mrs. Douglas hopes to realize, now
that the career of the head of the
house has been directed into judi
cial channels.
Maybe I can get to some plant
ing of flowers and shrubs, since we
are going to be here permanently, ~
she said gaily, standing in the door
way of her brick, Colonial home, out
Silver Spring way, and pointing to
the green slope that falls away
from the house toward the road
And 1 have been hoping that
with longer vacations we might
travel abroad" she said wistfully
turning back to the comfortable hv-
ing room, with its flowers and
Mildred's dolls propped along the
wide window seat. Il would like
fpst to go to England and Scotland.
