Yong and impressive is the list of notables
of both sexes who have been entertained
- at the woman-co controlled success, the
Ierba Buena Club at the Golden Gate Inter-
national Exposition, on San Franciscos
Treasure Island. 1t is there that the officials of
the Exposition have dined Crown Prince
Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid of Den
mark and Iceland, tempting them expertly
with menu which began with crab legs
served on tomato, included main dish of
chicken cooked Hawaiian fashion and served
on pineapple. and ended with strawberry
mousse for dessert.
There, too, the Exposition invited the
President of the Republic of Nicaragua and
his wife, Madame Somoza, giving them typical
South American dishes. And there the Board
of Directors of the Yerba Buena itself enter
tanned the beautiful Eve Curie, author of the
biography of her wonderful mother Nine.
Curie For Eve Curie also there were crab
legs, as we'll as cream of tomato soup served
with Melba toast, that had been busted with
Parmesan cheese and placed under the broiler
fame for an instant, and main course of
breast of chicken saute, with French sauce.
From the beginning the Yerba Buena Club
has been place where you wanted to eat at
least once when you visited the Golden Gate
Exposition. The cuisine is as fine as any
the country has to offer, and the surroundings
are both extremely modern and extremely
beautiful But you must, of course, wangle an
invitation or get woman member to sponsor
you. This is womens clubhouse - and the
IL - M ~, ho &c
accompanied by woman member or can
present an honorary visiting card.
The idea of the Yerba Buena Club origin
ated in subcommittee of the women board
of the Exposition And ideas are not lost when
they enter the heads of San Francisco women.
They were undaunted by the difficulty of the
first step, which was to enroll 1900 women as
founder members, each contributing one hun
dred dollars That accomplished, they went on
to round up 5000 contributing members, each
paying ten dollars. All this is not an easy
project to put over, as innumerable women's
organizations have previously discovered.
The wonderful part of Yerba Buena, how
ever, is the continued strong support the
women have given and the success of their
undertaking. 1t is big business venture
handled brilliantly by the women. 1t does not
depend on music or floor shows to attract
patrons to its dining room. 1t relies on lovely
surroundings and the best possible food -
with food easily the most important element.
The women have put man in charge of the
food j Mr.. Van der Steen, who goes under
the title of catering manager When we asked
Mr.. Van der Steen for recipes that our readers
would like, he chose especially those that are
not too elaborate to be made easily at home.
Nothing, for example, could be more simple
than the connoisseur's salad, which we illus

Regrouping Of Agencies
Due on Ju|y1

The regrouping of many Govern
ment agencies under President
Roosevelts two approved reorganiza-
ton plans will take place simultane-
ously on July l, if Congress passes
a joint resolution introduced late
yesterday by Senator Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina.
If no further action should be
taken by Congress, plan No. would
take effect automatically on June
Is and plan No. 2, automatically, on
July 8, assuming Congress remains
in session until the latter date.
Senator Byrnes, who steered re-
organization through the Senate
pointed out it would simplify book
keeping and administration to have
all of the changes take effect on
the first day of the new fiscal year
The only effect of his resolution
therefore, is to shorten the normal
6o-day waiting period on plan No.
by one week.
Although each of the two plans
actually was approved by action
Of only one branch-since the law
requires disapproval by both houses
to stop an order-this new joint
resolution will have to pass both the
Senate and House and be signed by
the President. In effect, it amends
the reorganization act. as to these
two plans.

Extra Clerk Voted
By House Members

Passed by the House following a
hilarious debate yesterday afternoon
a bill providing a new clerk for each
of the 435 members of the House
now goes to the Senate.
The measure raises from two to
three the number of clerks each
member may have, and increases
the total clerk hire" per member
from IS 900 to s6500. Enactment of
the bill would cost the Government
maximum of 500, with extra
clerks included for the Alaskan and
Hawaiian delegates and the Puerto
Rican and Philippines resident COM
missioners.
Efforts to obtain roll call on the
bill failed. On standing vote
Speaker Bankhead announced the
measure had passed, 237 to 95.
Several members declared they
voted for the bill because they did
not think their constituents wanted
them to hire clerks "out of their
own pockets"
At one point in the debate Chair
man Warren of the Accounts Com
mittee admonished the House to use
minimum of demagoguery."

ID. c. Mother Hopes Her Son
Is Safe on Halliburton Junk

A Washington mother Is hoping
that the gaudy-painted Chinese junk

Because II the junk is still afloat
Dick and Paul are ingenious

through" the mother says.
Dick" is Richard Halliburton.
Paul is the son of Mrs. James L.

days later, Mackay Radio picked up
a faint message from the Sea ORA
gon-the boat was laundering and
storms were fast ahead.
That was the last word heard from
the junk and her crew of IA.
1900 Miles From Midway.
"The time element is the thing
Mrs. Mooney contends. II can't
believe the boat has sunk. But they
had food and water to last only a
month" When the last message
was received the Sea Dragon was
1900 miles of Midway Island, the
next scheduled stop.
