A $1,000 subscription to the John
S. Bennett Memorial Building fund
by the Evening Auxiliary of the
Women's Guild of Central Union

as the climax of the busiest winter

raised from proceeds of entertain
ments given by "Susie's Kitchen
Band"
Formed several months ago under
the leadership of Mrs. Mervyn Lam
ham, the band has proved to be a
popular entertainment feature for
numerous church groups in the city.
The players use kitchen utensils
for instruments and. though a nut
meg crater and broom maSquerad-
ing as violincello may not produce
sweet strains Of music, they have
provided hilarious moments of fun
for many local audience.

in song tunes is given by the band
in connection with its entertain
ment. Miss Sarah Lynch and Miss
Daisy Ramsaur play the leading
roles, while the band of approxi-
mately 80 members provides a STIR
ring accompaniment. Little Anita
Robinson is mascot for the or
chestra.
Members of the band wear uni
forms of red and white broadcloth,
cut along military lines, and small
tin spoons for decorations. The
hats are tin tunnels with dishmops
sticking from the ends in a gay
tassel effect.

Marian Allen, Miss Esther Balser,
Miss Gertrude Barber, Miss Louise
Bishop, Mrs. Joseph Booth, Miss
Helen Boss, Miss Mary Chisholm,
Miss Sallie Dean, Mrs. Samuel

national scene makes it impossible
and undesirable to predict what spe-
cific legislation will be before the
country in the next two years, or
even what legislative measure
would be desirable" it was ex-
planned in recommendations made
by the Committee on International
Relations with the approval of the
Legislative Program Committee and
other chairmen.
A statement drafted for A. A. U.
w. action declares for support of
the development of an immediate
and long-range policy for the United
States based on international CO.
operation and directed toward de-
velopment of international cultural
relations and intellectual cooper

ternational trade. cultivation of the
good neighbor policy in the Western

On Tentative Program.
On social security, the tentative
program declares for extension of
health services along lines recon-
mended by the Interdepartmental
Committee to Coordinate Health
and Welfare Activities. Items in
clude expansion of public health
and maternal and child health serv-
ices, expansion of hospital and
clinical services through Federal
grants, medical care for those of
limited resources, sickness insurance
and Nationwide Improvement of
medical services. Increased aid to
the aged and to dependent children
also is on the proposed program.
Advocating extension of social Sc
curlty to groups not covered in the
present act, a recommendation to
be considered comments that the
association is widely interested in
standards for domestic servants and
T"ould support the extension of
social security benefits to this group"
A consumer agency in the Fed
eral Government which would act
as clearing house of consumer in
formation is also advocated on the
proposed program, which also calls
Tor extension and improvement of
the merit system in government and
protection of civil rights.
On the equal rights amendment,
the policy statement reads: The
association supports the principle of
equality for women, but opposes the
proposed equal rights amendment
to the Constitution as a method of
obtaining equality"

Head of Federation Finds
Pleasure in Home Work
Mrs. Daniel Remodeled and Redecorated
Large N.Year.Old Home With
Untiring Energy and Patience

nome eight years ago in the sum-
mer. The first months were spent
making a spacious porch on the
second floor comfortable and trans
forming adjoining rooms into liv.
able accommodations. Winters we're
not spent at the Rock Creek home
until recently, when the modern
heating system was installed and
one of the former dormitories on
the second floor was transformed
into a great, tastefully furnished
living room, with fireplace and
book-lined walls promising cozy
gatherings on long winter evenings.
On the first floor, reached by a
low flight of steps from the out
door patio, is the spacious, high
ceilinged dining room in which
built-in and corner cupboards dis
| play quantities of fine old china,
another hobby of Mrs. Daniel.
She opened the doors of one cup
board and revealed a rare dinner
set of blue and white Spode. The
color scheme for the dining room
Will be built around the Spode
china" she explained.
The mahogany dining table in
| the center of the room was OBJ
tanned from an old family in
Lexington, Va, after it had been
IN storage for 40 years. Its owner
was over 80 years old and said
the table had been in her family
| as long as she could remember.
| Scarcely a piece of furniture in
Mrs. Daniels home but has some
interesting bit of history connected
with it.
Apartments for Children.
Although landscaping and the care
of the trees and shrubs on her place
have demanded certain attention
| from Mrs. Daniel, she has not vet
attempted renovation of the out
side of the house, concentrating
her energies and efforts on the rooms
inside. When they are completed
she will enjoy the privilege-rare in
these days of limited living space
and modern apartment houses-of
offering a complete apartment to
/ each of her children, a son and
married daughter.
In the years ahead, throughout
the winter evenings particularly,
Mrs. Daniels hopes to enjoy what
I she terms her first hobby" hun
dreds and hundreds of newspaper
clippings gathered and compiled
over period of 40 years. Dozens of
large envelopes contain these clip
pings dealing with interesting items
of national and international news
of bygone years. No apartment could
have provided the space to accom-
modate Mrs. Daniels clippings,
which she states she has kept for
sentiments sake
In an apartment" she added,
there is place for everybody and
everything but sentiment"
/ Asked if she had ever gotten dis
| couraged at the work she has UNDER
taken, Mrs. Daniel replied, Il hav-
en't fretted because l knew it would
/ eventually be finished and it has
been pleasure to see it grow grad
ually.'

mer. however, MOQQay teas, on q
smaller scale than in the winter
months, will be held weekly, and
the bridge dinners of the junior
group. held the third Thursday of
each month, will continue as usual
After July, those who use the
reading rooms will find better facili-
ties, according to Miss Margaret
Lunn, club manager, as considerable
remodeling will be done in these
quarters.
Improved lighting is being
planned. the rooms are to be redeco-
Erated and it is expected that maga-
zine racks will be added to the pres
ent furnishings.
Major repair work on the elevator,
which is to be provided with metal
doors and frames, will eliminate it's
use for the period of the alterations,
and, because the ceiling over the
stairway leading to the dining room
is to be taken down, the dining
room vii not operate for three
weeks.
Miss Lunn also said it is prob
able that new electric iCeboX will
be installed in the kitchen and
that other equipment there is to be
rearranged so that only a portion
Of these quarters will be necessary

Plans Being Perfected
For Biennial Convention.
In the meantime the A. A. U. w.
Is working toward its biennial con-
vention to be held June 1928 in
Denver. Colo. Education, which
has been the primary concern Of
the association since its inception
in 1882, is listed as the first con-
siderauon for the convention.
The present policy, which favors
Federal aid for free Unsupported
public education, including libra
ries, is one of the items to be sub
mitted for new action at the con-
vention.
Let it be understood that it is
only aid to State systems that has
b been proposed, explained DR.. Har-
riett w. Elliott, chairman of the
Committee on Legislative Program
"It is not a Federal system of edu-
cation that is advocated. State
control is to be retained. even if
, supplements to the State and local
funds are accepted from the ma
tional Government.
A proposed change in the asso-
cations approach to international
relations-a shift from support of
individual legislative items to a
declaration of general pohcy-is the
chief difference in this years pend
