Women Keep in Close Touch With World Affairs General Federation and PanAmerican Conference Avenues of Communication, By JULIA c. HENDERSON. International relationship, International understandings sad international friendship seem to be the cry of the hour. The need of all these human relationships being emphasized has been brought about, largely, through conditions found during the World War and which have been made more Impressive through the efforts of the Versailles treaty, and more recently through the armament conference held In Washington. That the men of the nations hate come to know each other and to have a different viewpoint of each other's affairs, through enlightening conferences, cannot be denied. It was also the happy privilege of four women to listen In on the Washington affair, from which they gained much which will be of value to their Eex. But e _ en so, the women who were not so privileged have not been quietly waiting for orders to advance, but have been thinking out for themselves the beet course to pursue In bringing about International friendship and understanding between the women of the nations, that they may Join hands for the promotion of peace and International good will. To this end, two special avenues of endeavor are being opened up at this time, viz: a newly created International relationships committee of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the Pan-American Conference of Women, which Is to be held In Baltimore, April 20 to 29, under the auspices of the National League of Women Voters, Mrs, Maude Wood Park, chairman. Mr„ Charles Evans Hughes recently Aas accepted the honorary chairmanship of the International .relationships committee, with Mrs. Horace Mann Towner of Washington as the active chairman. The task of tie new committee, as outlined by Mrs. Towner, U in part: “To further In every way possible a closer acqua'ntance and more sympathetic understanding between the women of the various countries. Only through such acquaintance and understanding can women hope to hasten the time when ‘mental dlsarament’ will make possible permanent peace. “The committee will try to help In creating among the w _.en of this and other countries an e:...ghtened public opinion which will strengthen the demand for councils of c neiliation, for boards of arbitration, for an International court, and for other means of settling International disputes by peaceful means. Study pro- , gram# concerning phases of International ; rela ions will be prepared. “To work toward this and to make strorger the bonds of friendship and fel- ' lowsalp between the women of America and those of other countries will be the task of the new committee.” “The Woman Movement In all Countries” will be one of the topics In the study program to be put out. The women of other countries are showing themselves more than eager to come together in conference with the women of America and extensive plans are being made for the Pan-American conference—lnvitations to which are be- : ing Issued to the government* of Soith and Central America to Eend delegates to i this body. Canada and Mexico, of course, j will be Included In this list. The league Is having the cooperation j of Secretary of State Hcghes. Secretary ( of Commerce Hoover, and the director of the Pan-American Futon, Hr. L. S. Rowe, j in arranging for the conference. The lines of .ommunleatlon between the women of the various eonrtrlei have been , open for sotra time and have been rec- ; ognixed by the governments. Not so Te~y I long ago the Mexican government In- ! sited the General Federation of Worn- j en’s Clnba to send five women as guests t of honor for the celebration of one hundred years of freedom In Mexico. The ' Invitation was accepted and the American ! women were entertained for sixteen days j by the Mexican govern nent. They were taken on trips of laspec- j tion, had Interviews w'th government of- t ficials. were shown through public instt- I tntions and were given every opportunity j to find out conditions in Mexico today. Before they left they were urged to j teach the Mexican how to organize clubs and how to affiliate them with groups of women from other countries working along the same lines. The Canadian and American women already have exchanged communications looking toward close fellowship, and the Canadian women have been invited to 1 send delegates to the biennial meeting of the Genera'. Federation of Clubs to be held at Chautauqua In June. The world is moving and women are keeping step with the tildes.

Legion Notes

The assembly of the State of New York In legislative session has passed a resolution indorsing tho American Legion's five-foil adjusted compensation measure and utgltig Us passag'd. Copies of tho resolution were sent to New York’s members of Congress. It took a small Jewish girl and a little maid from Italy to win first and second prizes for the best essays on “Our Greatest American.” Tho contest was held by the American Legion at Auburn, N. Y'. Napoleon was right! Fifty cakes forty cases of soft drinks, two bushels of peanuts, twenty gallons of Ice cream, four thousand sandwiches and a crate of oranges were consumed by nine hundred former soldiers (and friends) at an American l egion house-warming at Bing hampton, N. Y. "There Is only ono God, and that god Is Allah," yelled a young man at midnight from tho top of a lonely hill In Nashville, Tenn. Tho police were not placated until American Legion comrades explained he was being initiated into n Greek letter fraternity. Galloping from hangars on winged mounts, former fliers of the American Legion staged an aerial polo game in a recent carnival nt Miami, Fla. Toy balloons were used In place of polo bulls.

Editor’s Note—Richard Herbert Gladney, young portrait painter, accepts the invitation of his wealthy cousin, Henry .Jarndyce, to Join a mining expedition about to he sent to Mexico to open up an abandoned gold mine, which Its New York own*.- believed still contained a goodly store of the precious metal. The mine in question was claimed by Senora Trabajar, who alleged tiie | property had been wrongfully taken from her father beiore his death. She accompanies the expedition to Mexico. A prize fighter, two gamblers, the company engineer, with helpers, comprise tile group on the voyage headed for the mine. Read each installment. CHAPTER /. “Ninteenth floor." I stepped from the cage into a narrow hall where a weary looking young man of 17 pushed a pad toward’ me without looking up. I wrote, "Mr. Jarndyce, appointment,” and, laying my card upon the pad, waited while a fat youngster of 12 disapjieared inside a high doorway, j The fat youngster returned presently, saying, "Mr. Gladney will come in and I wait; Mr. jarndyce Is busy Just at the moment." In the luxurious lounging room I had plenty of time for reflection. \ “And this man who now has offices j covering an entire floor of a Wall street 1 skyscraper is my cousin,” I thought. “The | same young man who used to visit us j when I was a kid and who could play a mouth organ like an angel, and who used !to go to a country dance and dance all , night. Well, he was a trader even in those days, a trader and an organizer." I remembered bis buying an old heaving horse for $7 and driving back to his lioiqe county three weeka later with a fine team and buggy, the result of about j six trades. The door opened, and a tiny little man With dark skin and crisp black hair walked in. He was the daintiest, dandiest ' little man imaginable and made me think ! of Tom Thumb. I “Mr. Gladney?” he said with a curious rising accent, “Mr. Ja-arndyce Is waiting j your pleasure. Will you please walk In?” I went into the inner office at the heels 1 of the tiny little man, and there sl'ting about a great mahogany table were my cousin, Henry Jarndyce, and three other men. “Hello, Dick," greeted Jarndyce, risinn to shake hands. “Dick, this is Mr. Protbro: this Is Mr. Barnette; this Is Son or Aguaros, and this vest-pocket edition of n man Is Senor Mora, (tenth-men, Mr Richard Gladney, my cousin from out West. Dick is an artist, or thinks ha is, and 1 have decided to let him aocorot nny our expedition to Mexico in order to pick up what we can In way of seenury and jonoritaa. Mr. ISarnette, as you aro in of the personnel of this party, you will look after iny cousin. See that ho has necessary expense money, but keep a strict record of every dollar you lot him have. Mr. Mora, you will show him about all you can find time to and Introduce him to as many types of beauty as you can. "Dick, I mu art tel! yon before yon start that this la a serious business, involving some possible dangers, and that most of the members of the party will be pretty busy men and are not to be annoyed with having to look out for your safety. I'm telling you this, old man. because I happen *o know your penchant for hairbreadth escapndos. There'll be hardships to be encountered, but I know you are not exactly a tenderfoot; so 1 guqe* * you won't mind that. The outfit sails to- ; morrow and all arrangements for your passage have been made. Got your passport ?" "Yes, sir." “Here's * request to the Mexican consulate bore to have it vised. Mr. Mora j will go with you to the consulate. Good i luck. I may see you before you sail to- j morrow. Sorry I can’t have you out to ; dinner tonight, but Mrs. Jarndyce Is dragging me out to Mamarorierk to dine with the Van Loan*." Mv cousin once more gave me his band and then turned and begun to discus* some technical mat- j ter or other with I’rothro. As I stepped into the elevator with little Mora 1 felt more than ever impressed with my cousin's power as a man among men. In that Interview he bad been perfectly cordial with me and yet had not wasted a single word or a second of time, it was a sultry July afternoon and while I had been waiting for nn interview a storm bad approached rapidly. I could see tho bay far below me riffled Into sheets of silver and ridges of shadow and tho tiny, toyllko boats scurrying in all directions. As we reached the street below the rain broke in a silver shower. The gang that had been trading on the curbs In Broad street below Exchange place were scurrying like ants to cover. Somewhere high tip on the sides of that humanly built canyon the wind caught a hundred yards of ticker tape and trailed It from the window We two hurried up Wall street and into the doorway of Trinity Church to avoid the ralu. “Great place, this lower New York,’ said my guide. “It Is—how do you say the heart of America. It is tho great , throbbing heart of All-America. It Is the nerve center for all markets.” “Yes," I said." dollars are the corpuscles of the American lifeblood aud Mall street Is tlie blood pump.” “But there is a certain romance In It oil?" said Mora in that rising inflection of his ns if ho were asking me if I agreed. “Wall street drew me from behind the Beyond In central Mexico. It drew Senor Aguaros from still farther In the wilds. Wall street sends us back tc r<-opon a mine that is 400 years old, maybe, older? Your cousin, he is the ! true Caliph. He is a sort of king. His ■ mandates are sight drafts on the Chase j National Bank; the seal of Ills check i protector is a greater seal than that of j many nn Eastern emperor. In Wall j street tho man who can write the greatest number of little circles after a figure Is the overlord of them all, aud your cousin writes a good many.” CHAPTER 11. The next evening our ship, one of the United States Fruit. Company's liners, went slipping down tha bay, convoyed by

brilliantly lighted pleasure boats for Coney Island and Rockaway Beach. Lights flashed, whistles sounded, and bands sent up to us snatches of popular strains as more than one small, crowded boat bobbed past us. Then gradually the lights receded into the distance and the darkness and silence of a natural and not a man-made world surrounded us. Some fellow at the rail near me was "feeding the fishes.” “Seasick before we get out of the bay," commented .Mora. “That is a bad sign Senor Gladney. It is the big blond fellow who was so insolent to the waiter at dinner tonight. Watch what I say, that fellow Is going to make trouble on this voyage.” -“Who is he and what’s his business?” I asked. "I haven't seen the passenger list yet,” replied the little Mexican. “I imagine he's a German hardware salesman for Vera Cruz and Mexico City; though be could be Just anything in the troublemaking line, 1 imagine. Maybe he's an International gambler. It Is many on the paeqebots now.” Mora had a wa/ at times of missing English, French and Spanish In a way that was rather hard to follow. I had an opportunity that night to observe the "international gambler," if such be was, because his cabin was directly opposite mine; and also I observed him at the first-class bar. My opinion, based on observation that first night, was that he could better be described as an international drunkard. He drank some of each drink procurable at the bar and came to his cabin at 2 In the morning more seasick than when 1 first observed him. The next night at 10 o’clock I went to the smoking room to wateh the game of poker that I understood was in progress there. Three of our party, Prothro, Barnette and little Mora, were there, with our “international gambler” and a darkmustached individual who looked rather like an International cutthroat. It was amusing to watch the manner of each man's playing. Mora, with his handsome little doll's face, squinted into a grimace, made comical remarks to the cards constantly, but never by any chance addressed a player. Prothro, who, by the way, was our chief engineer, also made humorous remarks from time to time, but his humor was of the dry, philosophical sort. His Llg clean-shaven, lanternjawed face was In sharp contrast with the baby fare of the fat little Castilian. Barnette, who had the face of a roue and the eye of an eagle, played in silence and like a professional. The "International gambler," whose name I now learned was Sifert, grumbled and swore at his luck with nearly every breath. His blond face was flushed with drink and his hair In the wildest confusion from his pushing his nervous right hand through it. As for the fifth man, Serlno bia name was, he was silent as Barnette and the most alert player of the company. All had glasses before them except Barnette. He never drank when he played or played when he was drinking. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. 1 "If you're not more careful. I'll spout water over your boat and sink it," cried the whale, growing tired of Tom Thumb's fruitless endeavors lo get the fishhook out. “My nose is bleeding now and the hook Is still In it." “Let me give the string a yank," said Tom 'JBumib. "Didn't you ever have a tooth out that way? It won't hurt much." "Well, go ahead," said the whale closing his eyes and shutting his teeth tight. And then out came the hook and over went Tom into the bottom of the boat. "Ouch lo uoh!" said the wbnle, while little Tom Thumb picked himself up and said to Puss Junior, “Don't you ever ask me to fish again in the ocean. I'd lather fish like Simple Simon." Simple Simon went a fishing For to catch a whale; All the water he had got Was In his mother's pail. "What are yen grumbling abont ?” asked the whale, peering over the side of the boat. “One would think you had been caught wirii a book." And saying this disagreeable thing, he dived down into the sea. “No more fishing for me," laughed Tom Thumb. And Just then they came close to a lighthouse on a big rock. So they ran the boat up on the little stretch of sand. “I don't know what we’re landing for," said Captain Puss Junior, only I've never been in a lighthouse and here's a good chance." "Haven't yon?" asked a sweet voice, and a young girl appeared on the stone steps leading down to the beach. “Come, my gallant tars, and I'll show you my lighthouse, and after that you can tell me some of your adventures, for 'tis e lonely life I lend here alone on tho rock until my Bobby Slmfto returns." nasten, Bobby, home to me.” Bobby Sbafto's gone to sea In his schooner Mary Lee, Ilard-n-port, or hard-a-lee, So Puss picked up Tom Thumb and followed the girl into the lighthouse and up the stairs to the very top where the great lamp sent out Its rajs of light to guide the ships at night; or the great bell clanged In foggy weather to warn the weary sailor from the cruel rocks. And next time you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.) THE USUAL SHORTNESS.

MONDAY. “I believe we can have a little vegetable garden iq that back yard. Henry,” said Mrs. Hooper as the family began their desert course at dinner. “I was looking at it today again, and I'm sure we can have quite a plot of vegetables If we all get to work at it right away.” “Oh, mother,” chorused Roger and Helen in dismay. “The idea of having a vegetable garden in a city block like this.” "Why. every one around here must have had vegetable gardens during the war," protested Mrs. Hooper. “People would have been ashamed to waste that much good ground then. Why. they planted things in the tiniest patches.” "Oh, well, that was in war time That i was different,” said Roger, “we wouldn't have any such excuse now for planting vegetables in a little back yard in the city.” “As If any one needed an excuse for raising his own vegetables at any time,” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper indignantly. “If we only had room for a bed of lettuce and radishes and a little parsley I should certainly plant them, but here there Is a space the width of the lot which is nearly | fifty feet and at least fifteen or twenty ; feet deep which makes several beds of vegetables possible." Helen and Roger were abont to voice more objections when Henry said: "I don't believe It will pay, Mary, | There will be a great deal,of labor and some expense to put that back j-ard in | condition to raise anything, and I un- ! derstand that vegetables in season are cheap enough in Indianapolis. "I’m perfectly willing to figure It out with you to the .last cent what It will cost to put that back yard In shape so that we can have r few fresh vegetables," said Mrs. Hooper, relutcantly realizing that perhaps Henry knew what he was talking about when it came to expense, “but I can't see how it Is possible for It to cost more than we will get out of ! it.” “I’m not counting the cost of any labor.” Henry went on. "because Roger and I could easily do all the spading and cultivating, but unless I am very much mistaken the soil would need a great deal of fertilizing and your water would probably cost more if you used it for irrigation. That with the price of seed and the garden tools we’d have to buy all must be added to the cost of your vegetables.” “That is all very well," Insisted Mrs. Hooper, "but I can't possibly get along without a little garden of some kind and if you and Roger spend a little whilo every day and Saturday afternoon cultivating It your health will be very much better." “But I intend to get a Job for Saturday afternoons that will pay me money,” annonneed Roger. "It seems to roe that will be a great deal more profitable than digging around In an old vegetable garden." "That will depend entirely on what kind of a job you get. If It is something that will keep you working Indoors all the afternoon I shall not consent to It," announced Mrs. Hooper positively. "Well I’ll take a good look at thta back yard tomorrow," announced nenry. “I haven't had time to pay much attention to it. I've been so busy unpacking and doing carpenter work since we came in here. I'll be able to tell then whether It will be really worth while to plant a garden.” “Just remember, however." concluded Mrs. Hooper as she prepared to lesve the table, "that if the decision Is against having a real garden that I shall Insist on a bed that I can take care of myself, and in which I can plant the few green things that I always need for my cooking.” The menus for the three meals on Tuesday are: BREAKFAST Grape Juice Creal Fish Cukes with Bacon Toast Coffee LUNCHEON Cream of Celery Soup Toasted Crackers Cheese Dreams Gingerbread Cocoa DINNER Boiled Corned Beef Boiled Potatoes Pickled Beets Boiled Turnips and Carrots Raisin Rice Pudding THIN WHITE SAUCE.
