Washington Celebration Open to World
WASHINGTON. —An intention to invite the nations of the world to join the United
w
States in observance of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington in 1932 Is announced by President Coolidge on behalf of the commission recently appointed to arrange for the celebration of the event. Setting forth the purposes for which the commission was created the Presidem in his statement said that “for the present it la impossible more specifically to suggest the purposes and character of the commemoration which It Is proposed to arrange. “The two hundredth anniversary of General Washington's birth will be an occasion of such significance not only to out-own country, but to the entire world that it Is manifestly fining that the American nation should appropriately observe it “But beyond this it is telt that as the life, the career and the achievements of Washington belong, not to a single nation, but to all humanity, it is proper the nation founded under his

Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U. S, N., retired, told the Navy and Marine Memorial association that tiie proposed memorial must be built to “let the seamnn know that the day of his unrequited service has gone by and that lie is coming into the honor' which he merits.” “Build a memorial in Washington that shall stand before the nations," Admiral Fiske said, “not only as a belated recognition of his work through all the dim and distant past, but also as an assurance of a near and brilliant future.”

House Too Busy to Honor Washington
HE failure to have George Washington’s farewell address read stirred up a row in the house of representatives.
T
The message was read in the senate, according to custom, but an impassioned plea by Representative Rankin {Dem.. Miss.) not to let the day pay without the reading of the farewell address, went unheeded at the other end of the CapitolMr. Rankin made two futile attempts to have the address read. When the first bill to be considered had been reported to the house he made a point of order that Washington’s farewell address had not been read. Speaker Gillett overruled the point, pointing out that the house had made' no order tor Ito reading. Mr Rankin protested vigorously ■gainst failure to have the address ryd. He said that to adjourn without the reading of the address which -has been a great inspiration to the American people tor more than * 100 years” would establish a bad prece-
leadership should invite all other nations and peoples tq join it in the observance of this anniversary. • The character, the efforts and the achievements of Washington have made an impression on the whole world, so profound as, to have affected the very course of history and to have touched the lives of all who today live in this world. “Every consideration of national pride in him as an American of gratitude for the distinctions which he brought to us as a people, and of satisfaction in the universal recognition which has been freely rendered to his name and memory, dictates that this nation should take the lead in such a proper acknowledgment as will make the approaching bicentennial ar occasion of universal inspiration. “As it was the fortune of America to give sueh a character to the world, so it is the obligation -of America to insure that all men shall be invited and encouraged to consider his noble example, and benefit increasingly through a better understanding of the ideals which animated his life."
Several hundred navy and marine officers attended the dinner, at which the progress of the association in raising funds for the proposed memorial was reviewed. Telegrams wishing success to the movement were read from nearly a score of persona prominent in national life, including several governors of states The memorial. to cost approximately $500.000, will stand on a point in the Potomac, surrounded by water on ttiree sides near the site of the Arlington memorial bridge. have already been prepared by *Begnl del Piatta, sculptor, and Harvey Wiley Corbett, an architect of New York. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur la chairman of the honorary national committee, which also includes Theodore Roosevelt, former, assistant secretary of the navy; Admiral Edward W. Eberle. Admiral Robert E. Coontx. Admiral Leigh Palmer, Maj. Gen. John A- Lejeune, commandant of the marine corps; Rear Admiral F. C. Blllard, chairman T. V. O’Connor of the shipping board and Rear Admiral William S. Benson. Many men and women prominent In public life are on the national committee.
Madden, the chairman of the committee. “We have our own regulations and laws which we must comply with before we can spend the mopey,” Mr. Carr replied. “They have their own regulations and laws which they must comply with before the workmen will work and the contractors will bid. so it is a question of getting a happy adjustment of the two.” “I’ve been told that nobody wants to live in the bouse,” Mr. Madden commented. “That’s not true,” Mr. Carr answered. “ They are perfectly willing to live in the bouse if we can get it in order." “Everybody says it i» a white elephant ; that Is. everybody 1 have seen who has talked about It.” countered Mr. Madden. Later be stated: “We had better give the again and let somebody else undertake to do the job." On the assurance of Mr. Carr that the contracts would be signed about July 1 the committee agreed to allow the $150,000 appropriation to be continued in the deficiency bill reported to the house.

The decision said that maintenance of a reasonable reserve for depreciation or losses of reserve* required by state statutes, reasonable surplus to provide for erection of buildings or purchase of other facilities, or to retire Indebtedness incurred to meet Improvements. doe* not destroy exemption. In case stock is owned in co-opera-tive associations by persons other than producers, satisfactory explanation must he made in the application for exemption. The restriction is not placed on stock Issued temporarily for the sole purpose of providing working capital or acquiring property, providing such stock Is not entitled to participate In profits of the control of the association. Under the same restrictions, co-op-erative associations acting as purchasing agents for farmer* are exempt from federal taxation.
Representative dtamton of Michigan said he understood since the point had been raised the speaker had arranged to have a member read the address. Mr. Rankin insisted, however, that the house, which was then sitting as a committee of the whole considering the District traffic bill, temporarily lay the bill aside and listen to a reading of the message. To accomplish this he made a motion that the committee rise. Representative Blanton of Texas, one of the most clever parliamentarians In the house, asked for a teller vote. Rankin and eleven others voted In favor of arising. Ninety-three members voted against the mation. And although the vote came on whether or not the committee should arise, the- house voted in effect. 93 to 13, Abat it preferred to continue consideration of the traffic bill rather than bear Washington’s farewell address.

EARLY STRAW HAIS IN FABRIC EFFECT
Aigrette Popular Trimming for Paris Headgear—Red Is Favored Color. The persistence of the bobbed coiffure has resulted in the general prevalence of the small hat, despite the most determined efforts to end its domination, declares a Paris fashion correspondent in the New York Her-ald-Tribune. The Parisienne at Monte Carlo seems unwilling to accept anything odd In millinery—she is too devoted to the small, becoming, youthful hat of past seasons. She continues to bob her hair and that imP os ® B . tf’-l tndicap upon the modiste. On the Riviera, where most of the spring novelties have their first tryout, only the most discreet models are being shown, and all the taste continues to be for the small, simply trimmed felt or velours. The first straws of the season are simulations of fabric effects. Talbot Is using angora straws ■U, her early hats and also what is known as paille de sole. This latter is a straw braid foundation covered with artificial silk put over the straw like a wrapping so as to leave none of it visible. This novelty is used la noth narrow am wide effects, and Is sometimes fully two inches wide. It Is «ewn together to make the entire shape and Is of an unusual brilliancy. Talbot Is making quite a feature of pale reseda green silk straw. She has an attractive new high crown model developed of this material in a lovely shade of green. The crown is pinched in at just the proper point to give lhe shape a line and Is trimmed with silk and ribbon flowers that take the form of carnations. The glossy silk braid which forms the entire shape is faced on the under brim with a dull plcot straw. The dowers

Six Styles of Heels Used on Women’s Shoes
Whether it is due to vanity or not. there is no one thing that women shopper* are more concerned about when buying a pair of shoes than the heel. This perfectly feminine trait is not altogether to be scoffed at. Aside from the «yle and the curve that a neatly turned heel can give to a trim foot, it has a lot to do with the comfort and poise of the body and. whether you are aware of it or not. observe* a writer in the Kansas City Star, with the service you are going to get out of the shoe. Heels either are cut out of wood and covered with material to match tbe rest of the shoe, or they are made out of leather substitutes, or of all leather. Leather heels are the mow expensive, but when the one is made out of all leather, you may know that it will be absolutely satisfactory under all conditions. Sometimes leather substitute* or wood are used for half the heel, and the last three or four lift* are made of leather. There are six style* which are seen
Dainty Perfume Bottles Among Novelties Used

Lewis, who has c popular hat shop In Monte Carlo, is using a straw cloth which is woven to look like a corded silk. Interesting small shapes are fully covered with this straw cloth and are discreetly trimmed with strange looking flowers, such as a single rose made of a mossy silk and foliage that Is shaggy with silk strands resembling hair. This ornament la perched high on the crown. In another model two tiny rifflebirds are resting across the top of a high crown with their bills pointed to the skies. The aigrette is still very fashionable in France and many of the smarteW hats are adorned with glistening pompons of this most delicate and airy feather. There Is a great fancy for these little tassel-like ornaments in several colors, either perched on the crown t# give height or else saucily turned down over one ear. The uk red hut retains a rurprising popularity. It is seen in felt, in straw cloth, in grosgrain silk and in straw, notably in dyed bangkok and picot.
