Sp ertlowing World by Air, Journalist's Topic At Ladyship Luncheon

Event Is High Point on Kiwanis Women’s Program Here; Entertainment Includes Musical N umbers; Fashion Shows Tomorrow.

Conditions in foreigmr countries and vivid impressions of their leaders

were recounted by Miss Paula LeCler,

widely | known journalist, at

the Kiwanis International ladyship luncheon today at the Scottish Rite

Cathedral.

This event marked the high point in the women’ s program of the 21st Kiwanis International convention which opened here Sunday and is to

continue through Thursday.

More than 2000 guests attended «

the luncheon. Mrs. A. Copeland Callen, Champaign, Ill, the international president's wife, presided. Mrs. Fred C. W. Parker, Chicago, wife of the international secretary, introduced the speaker. The Orloff trio provided music during luncheon. In her speech, entitled “I Interviewed the Worid by Air,” Miss LeCler described a 70-day. flight, starting from New York in the ill-fated Hindenburg and ending in Seattle.

Food Crisis Described

+ In commenting on the German

situation Miss LeCler said: “The amount of progressive belttightening I found existing with the Germans of the Third Reich would be disastrous to the existing political system of any other modern nation. Foodstuffs are more scarce and prices higher than ever. Individual initiative is crushed with increasing ruthlessness. Yet Herr Hitler carries on, apparently stronger than he ever did.” ; The speaker related her observations on watching the endless goosestepping of unit upon unit of Nazi Legionnaires, most of them in their teens and early twenties. “It was like a great, gorgeous ballet with banners and streamers, orations and martial singing,” Miss LeCler said. “And at the climactic moment Herr Hitler and his handsomely uniformed escort, flying in on the expectant scene in a great while plane, like a bird of hope. No high-pressure supersalesman has ever worked his territory more intensively than this embattled dictator.”

Women’s Duty Stressed Miss LeCler interviewed the woman whose official duty it is to get women out of the better class positions in business and the professions. “Apparently German women

have not yet begun to quarrel with Hitler's plans for them which I once heard him express in a speech at Nuremburg,” she said. “His statement was ‘The Nazi program for women has but one point, that is & child’.” Miss LeCler interviewed Haile Selassie and found that he has no

plans beyond continuing what little

he can do toward the “almost vain Dpssibility that Italy may sometime in some way be driven out of Ethiopia.”

Wealth Legend Disputed

She brands as fantastic the tales of the former emperor's great wealth, supposedly borne with him from Ethiopia. It is her opinion that he ‘has barely enough to see him through a lifetime of exile— and for the livelihood of dozens who fled with him. Miss LeCler spent 3 day with Mahatma Ghandi in his hut and lunched with him on sour goat's milk, fresh mango pulp and “a mess that looked like cooked green beans, served in brass bowls on old packing cases,” she recalled. In China she had tea with Mme. Chiang Kai-shek and in Japan she interviewed Hachira Arita, foreign minister, who told her that “Japan wants peace and will do what she can to achieve it.” Mrs. Clyde Titus was luncheon chairman.’ Assisting her were Mesdames Ralph W. Wright, Charles J. Gaunt, Frank J. Horuff, E. E. Voyles, Russell J. Spivey and O. E. Morrell.

Miss Wishard Is Organist

Miss Frances Wishard played organ music as the guests assembled. ‘Miss Irene Heppner and Miss Lenore Ivey Frederickson sang numbers from “Madame Butterfly.” The Pittsburgh Kiwanis Club was represented by the Choralists, a vocal ensemble from KDKA radio station, Miss Faye Jones, pianist, represented nine Texas Kiwanis clubs with a group of numbers. The Champaign-Urbana, Ill, club was represented by Miss Nellie Stewart, vocalist, accompanied by Miss La-

‘Dubs’ and ‘Par’

Take on New

Meanings at City Tourney

Blistered noses are “dubs” at the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Tournament on the Hillerest course this week. “par” is the smooth golden complexion that well-groomed women golfers have achieved despite daily exposure to rain, wind and sun.

Walking in the rain, an old Eng- & lish recipe for complexion beauty, is simple for Mrs. J. S. Shortle, who delights to golf in the rain. Preferring to carry her own umbrella, Mrs. Shortle smiles “it gives me an excuse for my game.” In sunny weather she always substitutes a wet towel around the neck, which she believes is an aid to comfort while on the course. Battle Begins in March “We're so tough we don’t get sunburned,” Mrs. Frank E. Davis, Hillcrest contestant, says. “Most club women started their battle for a peautiful skin in March when they played their first golf of the year. In April, when the sun got warm, they substituted sunburn lotion for creams, and the result is the deep shade of tan nearly every jWoman golfer possesses. A rabbit's foot evidently Front luck to Mrs. R. A. Staudt, who advanced to the championship flight today. A firm believer in the potency of the charm, Mrs. Staudt also furnished rabbits’ paws to several of her friends. Wears French Beret Miss Mary Gorham always wears a smart beret, French style, on her head when golfiing or at the club. “It doesn’t do a bit of good,” she says. “And at the end of the season I am a marked woman. One

side of my forehead is tanned and the other side is pale.” Mrs. Davis never plays golf unless she is wearing something red, and Mrs. Jake Delker usually wears a clever gadget for carrying tees that she bought last year in New York. Clipped on the front of the blouse with a silver pin, a small leather case of multicolored tees adds a bright note to her costume.

Scarfs Popular Headyear

Gay bandannas or scarfs are the most popular headwear this year because they keep the hair smooth and give the proper note of color to any outfit. Culottes generally have been worn because they give more freedom than dresses, are less cumbersome than slacks and more con‘servative than shorts. A colorful figure on the green is Miss Lois Bond, who wears blue jersey culottes, a red knitted shirt with a blue tricornered scarf and scarlet ankle socks.

Linen Is Popular

Mrs. George O. Stewart wears white accessories with a tailored green linen sports dress fashioned with a split back. Mrs. William M. Morris, president of the city women's golf association, wears a mannish blue shirt, a white flannel skirt and a red scarf tied about her head. Mrs. Charles L. Smith, vice president of the association, wears a spring linen sunback dress with white accessories, and Mrs. J. L. Mueller, secretary-treasurer, is at-
