plete kitchen and laundry and sew
ing rooms. The main thing for
woman war workers to realize is
that these USO clubs are THEIR
clubs in exactly the same way that
regular women's clubs are for the
use of their paid membership. The
only difference is that the USO
clubs are free.
Some of the girls, Miss Conlon
said, are studying different Ian
guages, others are taking public
speaking, and others are investi-
eating the various careers opening
up for women. Still others are un-
covering latent talents and are
making really beautiful things in
handicraft and art work. Some
girls made their own Christmas
cards and gifts at the clubs and
the girls on North Capitol street
cooked their own turkey on Christ
mas Day, the turkey being provided
by the club.
To inquiries about the registra-
ton of woman war workers, Miss
Feiker and Miss Conlon replied that
it is required due to the fact that
there has to be some means of
knowing whether or not women
coming to the clubs are the per-

1t is for just such young women

five USO Clubs expressly designed
to serve women as we'll as service

the NCCS Women's Division Clubs
at 1914 N street NV. and 1912
North Capitol street; the JWB

According to Miss Gertrude Fei-

the USO desires to meet the needs

Miss Feiker: IF the public could

The curtain is about to drop on
a holiday season crowded with fes-
tivities for members of the younger
set and in a few days the young
people will be back at more serious
things. Some will return to college,
others to their military posts and a
number to civilian war work The
majority of the functions for the
youngsters have been small and
marked by informality. Only a few
of the events have been large, and
even these in most instances have
been simply arranged. The enter
talnmentS for the debutanteS and
subdebutantes were vitally i'm
portant, as many wise parents real
lied. Not only did they afford the
young people the opportunity of see
ing as many friends as possible in
a short span of time, but foremost
of all they gave the young men
serving their country bit of relax
alton from their arduous duties.
The debutante-the subdebutante
looked her prettiest, the young
servicemen handsome in uniform,
the music light and gay but with
1t all there has been a cloud over
the merriest of affairs Listening
and watching the young people,
even as they laughed and danced,
you could feel that the unhappi-
ness of the world was close to their
hearts. They talked of friends in
battle areas, Of V letters received.
of wounds, of decorations and cita-
tions awarded. of how grateful they
were to have their favorite brother
home, even for only a brief fur
Tough. In fact the conversation in
variably turned to something in
some way associated with the war.
Simplicity in keeping with the
times prevailed at the dinner dance
given last evening at the 1925 F
Street Club by Mr.. and Mrs. John
M. Gross in honor of Miss Leila
Gordon Dickey. debutante daughter
of Mrs. Newbold Noyes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gross stood with
Mrs. Noyes and the attractive bud
near the entrance of the drawing
room to receive. About 48 guests
arrived early for the dinner and
later they were joined by about 100
guests for dancing. Mrs. Gross con-
fined her party to young people with
only a few of her contemporaries
and few of the debutante's
mother included.
The club was gaily decorated with
Christmas flowers and evergreens
with several trees adorned with
colorful trimmings placed about the
club. The dinner guests were seated
at tables for II with handsome silver
bowls filled with silver leaves form
ing the centerpieces.
Seated with Mr.. and Mrs. Gross,
the latter in becoming black vel
vet gown, and Mrs. Noyes in
striking soft gray blue dress with
a draped neckline and tiny cap
sleeves, were Mr.. and Mrs. Leland
Harrison, Mrs. John Wheelwright,
Mrs. Wallace Merriam. Mrs. Emmons
Smith. Maj. ], Frederick Roy. Mr.
William L. Jenkins, Mr.. Grant
Smith and Mr.. Walter Prendergast.
The debutante wore the beautiful
gown of ivory satin which is hand
embroidered in a.delicate pink, and
in which she made her bow to

also of this city, son of Mr.. and Mrs
A. G. Sweezy of Big Cabin, Okla,
took place last evening in the Chevy
Chase Baptist Church.
The arrangements for the wedding
were charming in detail. 1t was a
candlelight service, with candelabra
and pew candles along the center
aisle. The other decorations were in
keeping with the season, with bas-
kets of holly and long-leaf pine
being used in the church.

Declaring creation of additional
Government agencies to handle
labor matters has created confusion
the Standing Committee said:
ANY publisher, and any union
member, knows that if he adopts an
arbitration agreement he should
have some voice in the naming of
the personnel of the arbitration
board. In some measure he can in
fluence the procedure in order to in
sure thorough and efficient treat
ment OF all of his most important
arguments.
"The War Labor Board procedure,
on the other hand, has been over
burdened with both frivolous and
meritorious cases. Consequently, the
findings of the Government boards
are indiscriminate and frequently
unjust.
Newspaper Commission Praised.
I'm essence, newspaper arbitration
processes provide for the adjust
ment OF management and union re-
lations directly by those who are
charged with certain agreed respon-
sibilities in the handling of their
own business. But Government pro-
cedures are dominated by outsiders
who are necessarily unacquainted
with important considerations that
frequently cannot be covered ade-
|quately within the confines of briefs
or oral presentation.
"a justifiable indictment of the
faults of the United States Concil-
iation Service and the War Labor
Board procedures does not in every
situation extend to the daily news
paper commission of the War Labor
Board"
The report said the newspaper
commission probably had done "a
more equitble job in the handling
of dispute cases" than any other Ia
Dor agency of the Government.
