Everybody in Baden Baden, re- sidents and transients, seemed to have heard of the American tour isis perilous ride on the notorious runaway horse. and to show & frieadly interest in the Bostonians and me whenever we were on the streets or at the concedt park,

 was pretty well decorated with court-plaster and was rather un- steady on my legs, but in good spirits.
 The Bostonians and I were rouIidly cheered when we took our seats for the concert that after noon and during an intermission our friend, the leader of the orch estra and many of the musicians, came down to see Us. Friendli- ness and goodwill were expressed to us from all sides, and those who could not speak English, expressed their feelings with smiles and friendly gestures.
 That was the spirit of Europe toward Americans at that period.
 But no small part of the plea- Sant things that same to me on that tour, were the result of my being a travelling companion of Bostonians, and their happy fac- lilty of making friends wherever we went.
 The Bostonians and I had no end of fun over our occupation of the Khedive of Egypt's luxurious apartment. The Khedive's ad- vance agent had engaged an en- tire floor of the hotel and ordered special furnishings and decora- tions and was hourly expected to arrive and take possession.
 So we Americans were expect ing to be busted at any time.
 Twice we had false alarms. and were told to get ready to be moved.
 Quick moving was easy enough for me as had left my steamer trunk and heavy luggage in Lon- den mad carried only a large old fashioned sole-leather, valise, that I could pick up and carry my self. But the Bostonians had both steamer-trunk and a big Sara toga.trunk that took two stout men to carry.

Donald Coster-Musica, who committed suicide as federal agents placed him under arrest two years ago.
 The presidential pardon was asked when the supreme court re- fused review of an appeal taken by McGloon from his conviction.

With Compulsory Registration of Women U. s. May Have Giant Home Front Corps

Finally the President called a White House conference to which he invited two cabinet of- ficers, Mrs. Kerr, Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt, others who might have ideas to submit, or who would be reSpons- ible for the administration of such @ program.
 There probably will be 0 com. mission at the top to steer the program, but otherwise 1t will be decentralized. Field agents of far- flung government offlces like Farm Security Administration and Works Progress Administration, and private organizations like the Asso- ciation of University Women and the Red Cross will be asked to train and direct the defense efforts of women in each community.
 MAKING WOMEN
 DOUBLY USEFUL
 Mrs. Kerr made the suggestion lIlbU WIlCAA WOAAACAA 2CBAoSCA bNGSy should indicate what they are best able to do, and what they would like to be trained to do.
 If her suggestion is adopted, when Mrs. Jones, for example, turns up at the local registration center, she will say, q was nurse before my marriage, and l want you to put me down for that. But I like children and If you have a training course for rec reational directors, I'd like to take it."
 Another woman might tell the registrar, "I'm 8 good cook, and if l can help by putting up surplus peaches and string beans for car- ned stores, III gladly do that. But I've read about the plucky Bri- tish women who go out and douse fires after raid and if you're training women to do work of that kind, I'd like to take the course"
 This will not only make wo. men doubly useful to the com. munity in emergencies, but will avoid the difficulties encountered by private relief organizations which frequently find they have more volunteer knitters or seam- stresses or nurses than they can find work for.

 In our hotel in Baden Baden we saw the same frantic excite ment made over the expected arr rival of the Khedive of Egypt only he didn't come, and he never did come-and as a Sequal, we read in the newspapers months after we got back home that several European hotels were suing the Khedive for damages, for not keeping his appointments or pay ing his bills.
 So. apparently the Bostonians and I were the only beneficiaries of the 'Khedive's' queer behavior
 I recall the day we American tourists bade goodbye to charm ing Baden and journeyed on to Switzerland.
 We began that day with our farewell sunrise concert breakfast.
 We had come to have a real affection for the delightful plac, and the musicians.
 So while the sun just peeping over the hill-tops and the lawns and hedges of the park were sparkling their morning bath of dew the Bostonians and ate our breakfast of steaming-hot coffee and delicious rolls.
 I recall too, another item of our breakfast that morning. our very attentive table-waiter gave us a surprise by signaling a neatly costumed girl to lead a we'll groomed and perfectly well-man- nered thoroughbred COW.
 The COW. handsome crea ure, was led to our table and seemed much pleased with her distinc- tiun. The girl. who carried stool and animaculate pail, performed her part of the ceremony-and soon, the Bostonians and I were smacking our lips with satisfac- tion.
