WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 3. (Spe
cial.) Normalcy not quite, but al
most la coming at last to society at
the capital. Some of the foreign
notables have departed and the of
ficial entertaining for some of the
others la about completed For In
stance, the women of the cabinet.
who have been very busy with func
tions for the delegates, are now
getting down to their regular social
duties, such as their days "at home."
The cabinet hostesses will receive.
next week for the first time this sea
son, a custom they usually Inaugurate
In November, but have put off until
December this year "because of the
conference" (everything is based
upon that, you know). The women
of the diplomatic corps, that Is, most
of them, received Friday, with the
-exception of Lady Geddes, wife of the
British ambassador. None of them
has received this season, though as
a rule they have their days at home
In November.
Several of the cabinet entertained
this week Just because they wlshed
to give a party and not because they
hould. The secretary of the interior
and Mrs. Albert Fall had guests din
ing with them, the first party I can
recall they have given since becom
ing "cablneters." The secretary left
the middle of the week for the west
and will be joined for Christmas In
their New Mexico home by his family.
Clubs Getting Into Routine.
The clubs, too, are getting down to
their usul programmes of enterta'n
lng. The Congressional club, made
up of the wives and daughters of thi?
members of both houses of congress,
will have Its first large party next
Friday, when It will give an after
noon reception In compliment to the
wives of v'vltlng delegates. Mrs.
Calvin Coolfdge, wife of the vice
president, and Mrs. Frederick Gillette,
wife of the speaker of the house, will
preside at the tea table and the of
ficers of the club will be assisted In
receiving by the wives of the mem
bers of the foreign relations com
mittee of both houses of congress
President and Mrs. Harding have
appointed January 16 as the date on
which they will accept the hospitality
of the club. The vice-president and
Mrs. Coolldge, the speaker of the
house and Mrs. QUIett, the diplomatic
corps and others are especially
honored some time during the winter
In a similar way by the club which
Is quite famous for Its brilliant enter
tainments. Two Ds Compete.
The two Ds debutantes and dele
gates competed for first place In
the lnteresrof society this week and
I should say it was a "nip" an-d "tuck"
race. From Thanksgiving to New
Year's debutantes are usually In the
foreground but with the city filled
with distinguished visitors of almost
every nation on the globe, the best
the budB have hoped for was a share
of the limelight. Soveral debutantes
managed to get launched on the social
aeas this week and a number of
luncheon and bridge parties solely
for them were very brilliant affairs
of the last few days. Parties by and
for the various delegates to the con
ference, however, also crowded every
day even though most of the visitors
frankly admit they are very tired of
being feted and even complain that,
between working and parties, they
have not really seen our beautiful
olty.
Washlngtqn Is "viewing with alarm"
the departure of Hon after Hon.
Several of the leading delegates have
gone home, notably Brland of France,
who enjoyed our movies so much,
and Admiral Beatty. with his faclnat
lng amile and cocked cap. They were
both called away by pressing duties.
Delegates Are Leaving.
Rene Vivian!, who succeeded
Brland, will sail December 14 and
Lord Riddle has booked passage for
December 13. Quite a few of the
delegates are engaging passage home
for about the middle of the month
and the others are contemplating It.
Soveral of the prominent official con
ference on-lookers like Lord and
Lady Sandwich and Lord Harcourt,
for example, have gone home. But
why they should want to eat dinner
any place, even on Christmas, is a
wonder to me. for here they have
'done little but eat, poor things.
Among the parties of the week
when some of the delegates were
guests at the dinner which the head
of the Italian delegation, Senor Carlos
Schanzer, who looks like a German
professor, gave In compliment to the
secretary of state and Mrs. Hughes,
and the dinner which the Italian am
bassador. Senator Roland Iriccl, gave
for all of the members of the Ameri
can and Italian delegations. Mr.
EverwIJn, minister of the Nether
lands, gave the newspaper men here
for the conference a reception when
they met the delegation to the con
ference from native lands.
Num.- nn Anomaly.
Dr. EverwIJn (they say he pro
nounces his name "Everwlne" but
that In this country he should change
It to "neverwlne") has not been in
Washington long but already has
made a host of friends. In fact Wash
ington has been very much Impressed
by the charm of all of the Dutch who
have come over for the conference.
The French ambassador, J. Jusse
rand, entertained at a reception for
the newspaper correspondents, a
group that has been as extensively
feted, perhaps, as the heads of the
delegations. The military and naval
advisers of the various missions have
also been specially honored at a num
ber of functions, the largest of which
was given last week by the members
of the army and navy club, a very
brilliant affair, but too crowded for
comfort, as most of these large
parties usually are.
While the statesmen of the allied
nations are being lavishly enter
tained. Baron Edmund Von Thermann
of Germany came almost unnoticed
Into the city to re-establish diplo
matic relations between his coun
try and this. He comes as charge
d'affaires. How great the contrast
when one remembers the German
embassy as It used to be and sees It
as It Is; thinks back to the days when
servants and clerks and secretaries
swarmed, to say nothing of the spin
ning lights of Washington society
with whom the von Bernstorffs were
in high favor, and sees the envoy
setting about the legation with two
clerks, a butler, a cook and ba,ndy
man.

DAIRY LEAGUE BOOSTED
STATE FARM BUREAU URGES
CONTINUANCE OF WORK.
Officials Offer to Furnish Experts
to Help in Marketing Prod
uct for Milkmen.
Resolutions urging the continu
ance of the Oregon Dairymen's Co
operative league or some similar co
operative marketing organization
were adopted at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Oregon
state farm bureau at ttie bureau
headquarters In the Piatt building
yesterday. The bureau officials of
fered to obtain all the expert advice
and assistance needed from the dairy
marketing department of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation to save
the league If league members desired
them to do so.
"Be It resolved by the executive
committee of the Oregon state farm
bureau that we go on record as urg
ing each individual dairyman of the
state to use at this time every In
fluence that he possesses toward the
continuance of the dairymen's league
or some similar co-operative organi
zation." declared the resolution.
"We believe that It would be a dis
astrous backward step for the dairy
men of the state at this time to vote
to dUrtmnd. The dairymen of other
states are making a success of co
operative organizations which result
in larger returns to the dairymen and
lowered prices to the public.
"This la an age of co-operation.
Business interests are organized, la
boring Interests are organized, and
the farmers must continue to support
and strengthen their own organiza
tions." The resolution was signed by
George A. Mansfield. Medford, presi
dent; V. H. Smith, Wasco, vice-president;
E. C. Brown, Oregon City, and
Frank McKennon, Alicel.
Mr. MansfleJd also issued a com
munication In which he'declared that
If the Dairymen's league should vote
to discontinue their enemies would
triumph and would buy In their plants
and business for a song.
"Other states are making a great
success of similar organizations and
we can do so," he declared. 'The
American Farm Bureau federation
has a dairy marketing department. If
requested, we will obtain all the ex
pert advice and assistance they can
render."
Colonel William A. Aird. formerly
organization manager of the state
farm bureau, was chosen permanent
secretary-treasurer. The committee
chose Randall R. Howard. Oregon
magazine and newspaper writer, of
Oregon City, as editor of the Oregon
State Farm Bureau News, the new
publication of the bureau which will
consolidate the various farm bureau
county publications.
The resignation of A. E. Westcott,
rnember of the executive committee,
was accepted and J. C. Leedy of
Washington county was chosen to fill
the vacancy.

Open Evenings.
BY GEORGE N. BARNES.
British Parliament Leader.
(Copyright, 1921. by The Oregonlan.)
i LONDON. Dec. S. (SDeclal by wire
less.) Lloyd George has been strain
ing every nerve to get to the Wash
ington conference, for he realizes that
the English people exject much of
this gathering. He has finally an
nounced that he will sail for Wash
ington December 12.
Furthermore, public opinion la be
coming reconciled to the possible fail
ure of the Irish negotiations, while
at the same time hope is held for an
indefinite prolongation of the truce.
The British view of the Washing
ton conference has grown in Interest
because our Industrial troubles are
forcing themselves upon us with In
creasing Insistence. In the month
whloh has elapsed since the, situation
was dealt with in a special session of
parliament, the number of unem
ployed has Increased to nearly 2,000.
000 and It looks as If the Isolated
efforts of the past have been but
feefole voices crying unavalllngly to
the spirits of the vast deep.
Twenty-five million pounds ster
ling were pledged for credits to stim
ulate trade, but so far there has been
no stimulation and the only crumtos
of comfort for our workless In the
winter months Is an Increased dole.
War Expenditures Blamed.
Yet trade Is to us of supreme im
potance, for we ha.ve built our econ
omic life upon it. And trade has col
laipsed. It has collepsed because the
world has spent, and continues to
spend, too much of its substance on
the manufacture of war weapons.
Trade and employment will come
only by the release of labor forces
to the production of exchangeable
commodities.
Hence the Importance of the Wash
ington and Irish conferences and the
growing- Impatience here with those
who expound policies which Involve a
large amount of expenditure for the
perpetuation of national or sectional
animosities.
As to the Washington conference
there Is no douht that British public
sentiment would welcome a decision
by It to deal more exhaustively with
the question of land armaments than
seems Immediately possible. This
move would be welcomed even If it
involved an adjournment and a reas
sembly on a wider basis of represen
tation. For It Is felt to be of ex
treme Importance that France should
come Into line.
Irish Row Air Cleared.
The meeting of the Ulster parlia
ment has to some extent cleared the
air respecting Ireland and public
opinion is considering Its attitude to
ward the rival Irish factions and
what Is to be done if the negotiations
should break down completely. One
thing emerges with increasing clear
ness and that Is a feeling of Irrita
tion with Irish stubbornness. Eng
lishmen fully realize Ulster's great
service In the war and her Intense
andi perhaps, well-grounded dislike
of Sinn Fein. But she might have
made better response to the king's
appeal than the mere assertion of her
technical rights. Safe from coercion
and sure of last year's acts, she has
simply wrapped herself In a robe of
sellf-righteousness.
So, after all Is said and done, there
Is really little change. Ulster blocks
the way to Irish unity and Sinn Fein
lacks the faith to wait for it under
consideration's of larger liberties of
fered. The unfortunate "predomin
ant partner" can but hope and wait.
Under the circumstances, we should
welcome an Indefinite prolongation
of the truce until all concerned may
realize the grim humor of the situa
tion. Warfare Not to Be Renewed.
One thing is certain. There will be
no renewal of war from here unless
It be forced by the recrudescence of
lawlessness and a reaffirmation of
right of separation. And even It might
take the form of blockade and Isola
tion after legislation confers dominion
status on the 26 Sinn Fein counties.
Sinn Fein in the last resort may have
the opportunity of living for "them
selves alone."
But, to return to the industrial as
pect, it can be said that It Is bound
up with Ireland as well as 'with
Washington. No nation or race can
live for Itself alone without injury
to the structure of society, upon the
maintenance of which all that is
worth while depends.
The employment of the working
man is worth more than armaments,
and Interdependence is better than
selfish racial or sectional posturing.
If these things, however, are forgot
ten or overlaid, the forces of anarchy
and disintegration will be Immensely
strengthened

DEATH PROBE IS ORDERED
HLAMK FOR INSANE PATIENT'S
DEMISE TO BE FIXED.
State Board of Control to Decide
Whether Attendant, Held In
Jally, Is at Fault.
SATvEM, Or., Dec. 3. (Special.)
Dr. W. D. McNary. superintendent of
the Eastern Oregon fate hospital, to
day was instructed by the state board
of control to make a thorough Inves
tigation of the circumstances con
nected with the death of Louis To
pich, a patient, who died recently
while being transported from Port
land to the Pendleton Institution for
medical treatment.
Testimony given at the coroner's
inquest at Hood River Indicated that
Toplch's death was caused by vio
lence. Charles Burnett, the accom
panying attendant, was held under
10OO boll to face the grand jury next
March. In default of ball Mr. Burnett
was committed to jail.
Dr. McNary appeared before the
board of control today and asked for
advice as to what course to pursue.
He said Mr. Burnett had twice been
employed as an attendant, and that
his services had been satisfactory.
Testimony indicated that Toplch
was a foreigner, and was Intoxicated
when arrested on an Insanity charge
In Portland. While In Jail in Port
land It was alleged thta he wrecked
his cell, and that he continued the
disturbance when placed aboard a
train for Pendleton.
On orders of the train crew, who,
according to statements made to the
boad of control, refused to aid the
attendant, Toplch was ordered from
the day coach Into the baggage car.
There the patient was securely bound
and placed on the floor. In a subse
quent struggle Toplch died and his
body was taken from the train at
Hood River. Two trainmen gave the
most damaging evidence against Mr.
Burnett at the coroner's Inquest.
Mr. Burnett In a letter to com
panions at Pendleton denied that he
nractlced any violence on the pa
tient, and indicated that Toplch died
from self-inflicted injuries.
Dr. McNay left tonight for Port
land where he will confer with Mult
nomah county officials on the conduct
of the patient while In jail there. Dr.
McNary then will go to Hood River
where he will Interview a number of
witnesses.
Any action taken by the state to
prosecute or defend Mr. Burnett will
depend on the nature of the report
submitted by Dr. McNary at the next
meeting of the board of control.
JOBLESS WILL BE AIDED
