Women Can Only Guess What Government Will Do About Education Move

Spring Housecleaning to Destroy Duplications I Senators Hesitate to Commit Selves to Any Definite Program .

BT CONSTANCE DROEL. WASHINGTON, May 6—Evidently the Senators and Representatives who are members of the Congressional Reorganisation Committee, which met with the President at the White House recently, have agreed to let the public guess a while longer as to what the reorganization scheme will do to Government departments. Women have been particularly Interested in the proposed establishment of a new Department of Education nnd Public Welfare and In the co-ordination of the War and Navy Departments into one Department of Defense. Moreover, spring is housecleaning'time the world over. The proposed plan Is intended to get rid of all the numerous duplications in Government departments, a bureau in one department doing exactly the same work as that in another. There are said to be about 350 duplications of that sort. Rut even Senator Harrison, the only Democrat among the three Senators of the committee, would vouchsafe practically nothing except this little fling: "Well, you can say the result of the Indiana election has apparently stirred the Republicans to action, and therefore the reorganization committee has had a meeting at last. ••We’ve had no meeting at all since April 6 a year ago, when we met with \lr Walter F. Brown, personal representative of the President on the commit* ?e, whom we named as chairman. -At last night’s meeting we discussed the plan for three hours, but nothing has been decided as yet. However, as I said before, the Indiana election has started things going, so there really is hope that the committee will make the necessary decisions very shortly."

What is expected Is when differences of opinion as to what department should hold on to this or let go of that have been settled in the committee, public hearings will be held and the plan will be Incorporated In a bill to be introduced in Congress. There has been a great deal of speculation as to whether President Ilardlng would speak at the dedication of the headquarters of the National Woman’s Party, which will take place on the afternoon of May 21. At last it is practically admitted that he won't. Republican women, many of them,.have been critical of him for accepting the Invitation at all, and the League of Women Voters members are somewhnt peeved because hp turned down their Invitation to come to Baltimore, notwithstanding the presence of the fascinating Lady Astor. But, though the President won’t com - mit himself to an address at the ceremony, It is said he has agreed to write out some greetings or n message of some sort, which he will place In the corner stone of the building before It Is closed up. Preparations for the exercises are engrossing the entire attention of Alice Paul and her energetic coterie of enthusiasts. What with the amplifier used at the last Inauguration and at Arlington on Armistice Day. and the Government radio faeilities, it is expected the music and speeches will reach vast numbers, not only on the plaza of the Capitol, where the house stands, hut In homes throughout the country.

Belmont is expected to arrive from France especially for the occasion—Copyright, 1922, by Public I.edger Company.

Men have done and are doing their part to solve public problems largely on the basis of their distinctive experience In the economic world Women by virtue of their distinctive ex perience in life, have n tendency to see affairs of government In such terms ns education, public health, public morals, the human development made possible by a pence loving and forward looking civilization. This is the point of view of social welfare, nnd it should be reckoned with quite as fully as should the point of view of business Interests. ’’Proper respect for business experience Is essential If we are to be a business nation, but we shall be a better and happier nation when equal respect U given to that half of the people who know best how to care for human life."

The ADVENTURES of & Raggedy Raggedy Ann and Andy j||p By JOHNNY GRUELLE

"Little Blilie Bumble Bee; He’s as i cross ns he can be. When he's busy, let j him be, little Billie Bumble Be*:” It j was a tiny voice singing tills in a mocking, teasing way and Raggedy Ann uud Raggedy Andy parted the grass to see who It might be. Down beneath the taugied biudes they saw ttie queerest little teeny weeny man Just about two Inches high. Ho was kicking up ills tiny heels—and dancing about a little stone which he had rolled over ’a small hole In the ground. From beneat h the stone came what sounded like angry 1 mumblings. And the louder the mumblings grew, the louder the queer littlo teeny weeny man sang his song and the more he kicked up his ln-els. ‘‘Ha! You can t get out: I’ve got you fastened In this time and you can stay there until the ants nibble your xvhis- j kers!’’ “Who have yon shut tip down In that hole, Mister?” Raggedy Ann asked. The queer little teeny weeny man had not known the two rag dolls bad heard him and were watching him, so lie was so taken by surprise at the sound of Raggedy Ann’s voice, he fell over back ward, and with much scrambling and kicking, rolled over and over until In l reached the tiny palh, then down this he ran. Raggedy Ann picked the little stone out of the hole in the ground and a dusty llttle honey bee came crawling up into j the sunshine. "Has he gone?” Henry Honeybee asked of no one in particular. “115 ran down tlio path,” Raggedy Andy replied, ns he pointed to where the queer little teeny weeny man biid uisappeared. “Who was he?” “Beeeeeeeeee I” “Henry He i?ybeo whistled, “Don’t you know who he Is? j “Why he Is Tikky Rlckky nnd ho Is the | greatest little tense in the whole great.

Billie Bumblebee, for I am sure be saw me crawl down to visit Annie Angleworm. j lie .fust thought It would be a good joke j If he rolled the stone over the hole and i left me their until Grarnpie Hoppytoad j or someone else came along to let me out!” "What did Annie Angleworm say when I Tikky Rlckky rolled the ston? over her i doorway?’’ Raggedy Ann asked. “Oh. j Annie Angleworm xvasn’t at home; 1; guess she must have gone fishing!” Henry Honeybee replied, “Well, I must be flying along and find something to eat! Thanks for rolling the stone away!” And with a cheery hum, Henry Honeybee flew up out of the grass and sailed away over the meadow. “Henry honey- i bee Is a lazy little fellow,” the two rag dolls beard a tiny voice say and there upon the little stono sat Tikky Rlckky tlie queer little teeny weeny man. He had a long beard and a pretty little red coat, little yellow knee breeches and white stockings, He sat with one tiny leg over the other and fanned himself with a little peaked hat as if he had been running very hard. Yes, sir!” he. said, “Henry Honeybee is very, very lazy and Instead of helping Ills sisters store up honey for the winter time, Henry Honeybee Juet gathers eno*ugb for his next meal, then he does nothing until ho gets hungry again. I’ll bet six caraway seeds that Henry Honeybee knew Annie Angleworm was not at home when he went Into her house. My won’t she wiggle if she comes and finds that Henry has eaten all her honey pancakes ?” “Why we thought that all Honeybees were great workers'” Raggedy Ann said. “All the lady Honey boos are,” Tikky ltikky replied, “They work all day long gathering honey and storing It in their hives, then when winter-time comes, they have enough to eat, but the men bees — my! They are lazy so when w inter time ! comes, they have nothing to eat and if the ! Fairies do not take care of them they j just crawl into a crack in a log some- ! where and go to sleep cold and hungry!” “There are a lot of folk just like them!” said Raggedy Ann, “Isn’t it too bad? It is so easy to work if we go at if in a happy way like the singing lady Iloney- j bees!” “I guess I’ll run down into Annie Angleworm's house and see what* Henry Honeybee did. He was down there a long time!” Tikky Rlckky wiggled and twisted until he finally disappeared down Annie Angleworm's long hallway.
