[WO AMERICANS lahend annual j LEAGUE MEETING lelegates From Nations I Gather for Momentous I Session at Geneva. I By HENRY WOOD, I United pres* Staff Correspondent ■ GENEVA, Sept. I.—The assembly ■f the League of Nations met in its Begular annual session today, with Baui Hymans of Belgium presld- ■ The Americans present were Sr■tor McKinley and Representative lurton. Hymans delivered the opening adress, reviewing the work of the ,eague during 1924. including the pening of the court of international listice at The Hague and the sesions of the league conncil on the* uestions of limitations of armalents, |he opium-traffic, the trade in rhits slvaes. The league has settled half a ozen dangerous European disputes, e pointed out, and its commission n intellectual cooperation has tarted work with the Argentine reublic participating. From the tribune of the assembly n the famous Reformation Hall, aiilt to commemorate the 400th and versa ry of Calvin, three prime liinisters of England, France and taly have announced their intention if declaring publicly the newer and nore important role which the eague will play in maintenance of nternational peace. Premier MacDonald of Britain exacts to start here Tuesday, accordng to word from London. Delegations were present from >ver fifty of the fifty-four States imposing the league, while un>fficial delegates were present from rtrtually every State that is not a nember. notably the United States, r;rmany and Russia. Argentine May Return The Argentine seats which have jeen vacant ever since the Argentine delegation withdrew from the first assembly, continued to stare the president “vacantly” in the face, but assurances were received that before the next Assembly Argentine will in all probability be represented >y a full delegation such as she already sent this year to the Inte--national Labor Bureau, which makes up part of the league. In honor of the three allied prime ministers, who constitute the highest heads of governments that have ever come to a league assembly, except for the presence last year of President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State, Geneva was a fairyland of banner and flags of virtually every nation in the world. Although the United States is not a member of the league, the American flag rivaled those of other nations. The Assembly delegations for the first time in going to the Secretariat also passed along the new “Qua! du President ■Wilson,” which Geneva inaugurated Ithe’past year, with its tablet walled Into the Secretariat terrace announcing that the name of the quai had been in honor of President Wilson, “Founder of the Leauge of Nations." Epoch-Making Gathering That the present assembly will mark definitely the turning point in the League is the declaration of every delegation present. MacDonald's declaration, that the whole future foreign policy of England will be basal upon the League: with France openly declaring that she ■will endeavor to settle her greatest question—namely, that of national security—through the League, and with Italy seeking also anew field of international importance through the League, Leaguers declare that the present assembly will be epochmaking in the history of the world. In addition, the present assembly Is also scheduled to perfect the arrangements whereby the League will take over fronr'the allies the military control of Germany. Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, which alone, it Is declared, places the whole future I peace of Europe largely in the hands of the League, and Increases immensely the prestige and international Importance of the latter.

The actual cooking Is done within insulated walls of the oven of the range in a manner similar to •he fire less cooker. Even vegetables are cooked, rather steamed than boiled, inside the walled oven. Especially attractive is this demonstration to summer housewives who are not so lucky as to be off having meals cooked by hotel chefs.
