A large attendance Is urged as bußl-l nees of Importance will be trans-1 acted. "FAMOUS STREETS" IS TITLE OF CLUB PAPER Mrs, Leonard Saylors was hostess mid leader for the Research chib Monday afternoon. Her subject, "Famous Streets of the World", was presented in an interesting way. “Streets are the veins and arteries of cities," Mrs. Saylors said. "Streets of every great city possess their secrets and romance in their very names, one of the oldest of which is the Via Applu. stretched from Rome to Brundlslum, a distance of miles. “Visitors to Berlin are first shown the street ‘t'nter den Lln-| den.’ The street is ornamented by four rows of trees. In Madrid, the great rendezvous of fashionable life is the 'Prado', a promenade two and one half nliles long. . "The unrivaled nucleus df Paris is the 'Place de la Concorde and the most imposing ‘les Champs Elysees’, is a great wide street, flanked by trees and sidewalks, 20 feet wide. The streets of Paris are admirably paved. "London possesses many famous streets with very odd name. Trafalgar Square is the natural center of London for the sightseer. "No. 10 Downing street is the English cousin of Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington. D. C., which is till- home of the President of the United States. No. 10 Downing street in London is the home of the Prime Minister. “Canal street in New Orleans claims the title 'the widest thoroughfare in the world.’ It is 171 feet across. Market street in San Francisco has been called the ’paradte of merchants.” Michigan Boulevard in Chicago is flanked on one side by a panorama of buildings and on the other by parks and Lake Michigan. “Wall Street is the ‘pocket book of the world'. Nearly all nations have borrowed money or sold their bonds through this financial center. Fifth Avenue. New York, is the most famous street in America. This street had its own centennial in 1924. Fifth Avenue not only belongs to New York City or New York state but to all nations. From its sidewalks, people saw DFwey home from Manilla and Roosevelt home from Africa. Here they celebrated the centennial of Washington’s inaugural, the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America and the Victory parade in 1918." Sub topics were given by Mrs. H. B. Heller and Mrs. P. A. Kuhn of famous streets of Edinburg and famous streets of London.

STORE STRIKE MAY INCREASE Nation-Wide Strike Is Threatened Against Woolworth Co. Detroit. Mar. 2 —(U.R) The union representing sales girls on sit-down strikes in two five and ten cent stores threatened a nation-wide strike against the F. W Woolworth company today. The company operates 1.78 S stores in the United States, and has hundreds more throughout the world. It was reported that the union would spread the strike to others of the 40 stores the company operates in Detroit at once. Approximately 100 girls have held ths company's main store since Saturday. From 11 to 40 girls struck in a second Detroit Woolworth store yesterday and 10 occupied it. Louis Koenig, business manager of the waiters and waitresses association, an American federation of labor affiliate, announced that unless the company settled by Saturday he would ask the union’s executive council to call a nation wide sit-down strike against Woolworth. He said he had received telegrams from every section pledging the support of department store and ten cent store workers. The possibility that the Detroit board of commerce would be asked to mediate the strike developed, while the 100 girls in the downtown store danced and made merry behind the locked doors, between the counters laden with glittering, miscellaneous merchandise. The Countess Barbara Von Haugwltz-Reventlow, the former Princess Barbara Mdivani, whose marital experiences and whose millions have made her the beet known member of the Woolworth family, was satirized in songs the girls sang. One was: Barbara Hutton has the dough, parlez vous, Where she gets it, sure we know,

parlez vous. We slave at Woolworth's five | and dime. The pay we get sure is a crime. Hinkey dinkey parlez vous. i This was their chief song. They sang it over and over while curious passers-by pressed their faces i against the locked plate-glass doors. They also sang "Dimes From Heaven." to the melody of a i current popular song, and “We'll Hang Old Woolworth 'io A Sour ; Apple Tree.” to the melody of I John Brown's body. E. C. Mauchly, vice-president of the Woolworth company, tele- ! graphed from New York that the I strike was a local incident and I would have to be handled through , the district headquarters at | Cleveland. The girls ask alO cent I an hour increase in pay over their ! present average of 29 cents an | hour, a general 48 hour week, and ’ union recognition. I o ‘ England Will Seek “New Locarno Pact” I London, Mar. 2. —(U.R> — Anthony 1 Eden, foreign secretary, intimated ;in commons today that Britain would take the lead in seeking a ' “new Locarno pact" to maintain peace in western Europe.
