WASHINGTON SOCIAL
CALENDAR 15 FULL
Many Functions Are Held Be
fore Arrival of Lent.
HARDINGS HAVE AFFAIRS
Dinners and Receptions Are Nu
merous, but Illness Prevents
Even More of Them.
BY BETTY BAXTER.
(Copyright, 1922. by The Oreironian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 18.
(Special.) Lent begins a week from
next Wednesday. Hence the crowded
social calendar.
Not that all entertaining will cease
with Ash Wednesday. Such a state
of affairs as that is in the past.
Much, very much, however, was' ac
complished this week.
(Let's see, now. President and Mrs.
Harding, for one thing, gave the last
of their series of state dinners Thurs
day, the speaker of the house and
Mrs. Gillett being the honor guests.
Next Thursday the Hardings will en
tertain at the last of the state re
ceptions. Officers of the army and
navy and marine corps and their
wives will be present.
Last Wednesday president and Mrs.
Harding entertained at dinner for
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs.
Denby.
Disaster Postpones Dinner.
It does not look as though the en
tire cabinet will entertain for the
president before Lent is inaugurated.
Attorney-General Daugherty post
poned the dinner he had planned be
cause of the Knickerbocker theater
disaster.
Mrs. Will Hays, wife of the postmaster-general,
isn't well, and has
not been in Washington since early
last summer. Mrs. James Davis, wife
of the secretary of labor, isn't well,
either, so they and their husbands
may not undertake those formal din
ners, if at all, before late spring.
The secretary of agriculture and
Mrs. Wallace will give their dinner
on March 8.
The Gilletts were honored by a re
ception given by the Congressional
club last Monday evening, one of the
club's series of formal evening re
ceptions with our high officials as
honor guests.
Mrs. Lenroot Receives.
It was very much like the other
functions, Mrs. Irvine Lenroot, wife
of Senator Lenroot and president of
the club, receiving the guests. Pre
siding at the supper table a cunning
illuminated decoration banked with
pink roses filled the center of the
table were Mrs. Calvin W. Coolidge,
Mrs. Edwin Denby and Mrs. Ernest
ltoberts, an ex-president of the club.
The wives of the senators and rep
resentatives the Gilletts hail from
Massachusetts assisted in the dining
room. Only members of the- club and
their out-of-town guests are asked
to these functions which are truly
delightful.
A charming fancy dress party was
given by Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Mann
Monday evening for their daughter.
Miss Alice Mann, at their Sixteenth
street home. When Miss Mann made
her debut last Thanksgiving, 99
Quarts of the finest champagne were
served during the : afternoon. The
guests are still talking about what
a good time they had.
Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of
the chief Justice, gave a luncheon
party Tuesday. The Tafts have not
done much entertaining since coming
nere last October.
Minister's Wife Entertains.
Mme. Panatoroff, wife of the min
ister, of Bulgaria, gave another of
her series of luncheon parties last
Tuesday.
Mme. Sze, wife of China's minister,
was the honor guest at a luncheon
given Tuesday by Mrs. Harry C.
Woodyard, wifa of one of West Vir
ginia's representatives. Miss Gladys
Kairaog gave a luncheon party Tues
day for some of the young girls in
society these were all valentine par.
ties, of course. Mrs. James Patton
gave a luncheon, as did Mrs. John
Temple Graves and a number of
others.
Tuesday the secretary of the treas.
ury, A. S. Mellon, had an interesting
company dining with him. Dr. and
Mrs. Carey Longhorne did, too, and
so did Mrs. John Reyburn but there
were alrasot too many to tell you
about.
Mrs. Henry P. Lyster and Mrs.
William P. Hamilton, both of Detroit,
came on for t h nanhv h ; , ,
u,i.(cx, aim
were entertained at a luncheon party!
weuuesaay Dy Mrs. Truman H. New
berry, wife of the senator.
Mrs. James A. Reed was a luncheon
hostess Thursday, the same day that
Mrs. Thomas B. Dunn had about 70
women for luncheon to meet Mrs.
Coolidge, who was honor guest at
Mrs. Vandervanter's Friday luncheon.
Friday there was another Junior
league dance and its usual numerous
dinner parties. Also that day Mr. and
Mrs. Coolidge dined as honor guests
with the Spanish ambassador and
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Denby
were given a dinner by the assistant
to the attorney-general and Mrs. Guy
Goff.
lation of the contract and that the
government compensate Contractor
Adams for the work done. Under the
agreement between the government
and Mr. Adams, the latter la to have j
the use of the land for 25 years to
compensate him for his work, which
will cost approximately J35.000.
The secretary of the interior held
that it would not be fair to cancel
the Adams contract, but suggested
that when the work is completed con
gress may be asked for an appro
priation to pay the contractor for ac
tual work performed upon his agree
ment to vacate his 25-year ltase.
The contract with Mr. Adams was
made by an ex-secretary of the Inte
rior, who at the time had three such I
proposes leases under consideration.
Twc o the leases were vithUpld be
cause of the American Logion pro
tn. Lut Adams was permitted to go
ahei'd under the other contract be
cause he already had done consid
erable work on the assumption that
mere would be no difficulty in con
cluding the negotiations with the
government.

SANDS FAILS TO ANSWER
OFFER OF IMMUNITY TO SEC
RETARY OF TAYLOR IGNORED.
Mabel Normand Goes Into Retire
ment to Escape Questions as
to Murder Case.
LOS' ANGELES, CaL, Feb. IS. The
failure of Edward F. Sands, missing
secretary of William D. Taylor, slain
film director, to respond to an offer
of immunity from District Attorney
Woolwine, left the investigation
where it was whfin it first started, the
district attorney said late today. Mr.
Woolwine last night, in response to
a letter purporting to have been dic
tated by Sands, issued a letter to the
press stating Sands would not be
prosecuted on an old charge of em
bezzlement if he would surrender and
tell what he knew of the Taylor slay
ing. The district attorney said he had
no reason to believe the supposed
Sands letter was genuine, but de
clared his offer of immunity stood,
irrespective of this consideration.
Police investigators and the district
attorney have insisted from the start
they believed Sands could furnish the
key to the mystery. -
Mabel Normand, film actress, one
of the last persons who saw Taylor
before he was shot to death, moved
from her residence in the Los Ange
les Wil8hire district to an unnamed
address today. Friends of the actress
said she was seeking seclusion to get
some rest, made necessary by the
stress of repeated interviews concern
ing the case. Official Investigators
said Miss Normand had given satis
factory responses to all questions put
to her, and expressed no interest con
cerning her moving today.

GROWERS URGED TO UNITE
Affiliation With Potato Associa
tion Is Invited.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) Gordon G. Brown and Leroy
Chllfls, in charge of the Hood River
experiment station, are urging potato
growers of the upper valley to affil
iate with the Pacific Northwest Potato
Growers association. Mr. Brown says
that growers of this section have lost
money annually in not being organ
ized. He cites that they have no
stndardization of grades and plant
their acreage without, regard to stand
ardizing varieties. 5
Aims of the association are cited
as follows in a- letter to Mr. Childs
from M. G. Coe. vice-president, of
Bend: .
. "The Pacific Northwest Potato
Growers' association, comprising the
states of Montana, Idaho. Washington
and Oregon, is an organization of
value to every grower within the
four states. It is endeavoring to stand
ardize grades and shipping rules. It
seems probable that federal inspec
tion will be established at shipping
points with regional headquarters of
BY ANDRE TARDIEU,
Former French High Commissioner to
America.
(Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonian.)
PARIS. Feb. 18. (Special.) The
great Anglo-French 'debate over the
date of the Genoa conference seems
to be quieting down. Before taking
a leap which would have placed us
all face to face with Lenine, soviet
dictator, it was quite excusable that
we should look twice.
The question of European relations
with the soviet has arisen, however,
and cannot be dodged. Those French
men who sympathize with Moscow's
ideas the communist party, which
exists - for nothing else, and certain
bourgeoise ' who pride themselves on
their progressivism allege that such
rapprochement would not be perilous.
They assert that the golden age will
return to Europe when the Russian
market is opened up. This is all very
alluring, but it remains to be proved.
Russian Market Doubtful.
Economically, the reopening- of the
Russian market is not so simple.
What can Russia buy? She has no
money.
What can Russia sell? She has no
factories, no crops, no railroads.
Where are Russia's horses, and cat
tle, and tools? After the devastating
famine, where is her labor and in
what condition?
Tremendous reconstruction is need
ed in Russia. It will cost billions.
Where are the billions?
Germany alleges her inability to
pay reparations. Great Britain de
clares she will not remit a penny to
her European debtors unless the
United States first remits Great Brit
ain's debt.
United States Will Collect.
The United States has voted a law
for the collection of every dollar
owed her. France has a debt of
336,000,000,000 francs, with a budget
of 25,000,000 francs, plus a dozen
billion francs for reconstruction and
pensions. Therefore, I fear the money
for Russia will be hard to find.
The old proverb says "A scalded cat
fears cold water." French thrift
dropped 20,000,000,000 in czarist Russia.
The situation as to Russia is hardly
reassuring when tomorrow's would-
be borrowers openly announce that no
promise made to a bourgeoise gov
ernment is binding. The Muscovites
are prodigal these days with news
paper interviews, but in the flood ol
words one finds neither precise prom
ises nor positive engagements.
Bolahevists JVnne Revolution.
Furthermore, we know that while
they are coming to Genoa to borrow
our money the so-called people's com
missaries will not renounce a pur
pose to another revolution among us.
Last week we published here bol
shevism's plan for action among the
land and sea forces of France and
Great Britain, in which nothing was
to be left undone in a great work
of disorganization. Every month
subventions comes from Moscow to the
communist papers of various coun
tries. Last year Krassin solemnly prom
ised t,loyd George that the soviet
would attempt no further propaganda
in British Asiatic possessions, but
this propaganda never has ceased for
one moment.
Make no mistake. The soviet will
take our money if we let it, and

ROAD SURVEY ORDERED
Koute From Battle Ground to Heis-
son to Be Established.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Feb. 18.
The county commissioners today
ordered a preliminary survey of the
proposed paving of the road from
Battle Ground to Heisson, on the
route toward Amboy and Yacolt. A
public hearing to establish the road
will be held here March 4 at 10 A. M.
The road is now paved from Vancou
ver to Battle Ground, 16 miles, and
it is proposed to pave it by the Dono
hue act. for five miles to the Lewis
river.
The 'route from the Lewis river
l-ridge to Yacolt, through the -Fargher
lake country, is thought by many to
be the most feasible to extend a
hard surface pavement to the north
ern part of the county for the reason
it is .shorter and goes through a part
of the county that is largely agricul
tural, while the route up Lewis river
is through a' canyon for most of the
distance.

HUNGRY RATS KILL CALVES
Apparently Incredible lleport Veri
fied by Biological Survey.
PENDLETON, Or.. Feb. J18. (Spe
cial.) A month ago jackrabbits were
so hungry they were reported to have
gnawed the telephone poles in two
near Pasco and in the north end of
Umatilla county. This seemed in-,
credible, but today R. T. Jackson of
the United States biological survey
verified a report of rats killing calves
in this county, which was not believed
until the actual evidence was seen.
Several days ago County Agent
Fred Bennion received a complaint
from R. C. Rasmussen of Stanfield
that wharf rats had killed-four of his
calves. Upon investigation the assist
ance of the biological survey was re
quested. Jackson found that the rats worked
in bands, chasing the calves until
they were exhausted and then gnaw
ing the flesh above the hoofs, letting
the young animals bleed to death.
The rats- were exterminated by a
special poisoning process.

four corners of the earth.
American Distrust Impressive.
French opinion has been greatly
impressed by the American govern
ment's persistent refusal to recognize
the soviet. The Americans are re
garded as a common-sense people,
whose attitude on this question is
worthy of consideration.
America shows an extreme distrust
of Russia, which we share. One
opinion confirms the other. In short,
the irreat majority of Frenchmen be
lieve that nothing good will come
from contact with the soviet.
The future will say whether we
are mistaken.

Women and Girls March Through
Residential District Over Snowy
Streets With Enthusiasm.
PAWTUCKET, R. I.. Feb. 18. (By
the Associated Press.) Hearty cheers
for the police from the thousands of
textile strikers and sympathizers who
had tramped oi'er the snowy streets
gave a novel turn to the brief open
air meeting that followed the so
called "silent parade" today. "I want
to thank the Pawtucket police," said
John T. Burns of the Carmen's union,
marshal of the parade. "We got our
permit without difficulty. They man
aged the traffic arrangements effi
ciently." The parade, if not precisely silent,
was unusual. It formed in front of
the, hall used as strike headquarters
for the Blackstone valley. There
were no bands, no uniforms, no dec
orations, no placards, although a few
of the men wore yellow tags on
which was scribbled "Don't be yel
low." The.marshal rode ahead bear
ing a large American flag. Directly
behind him marched several hundred
women ana girls. Some of these car
ried small flags which they waved
with enthusiasm. There was no pre
cision in the step, but all did their

Across the Blackstone river and up
into the fashionable residential dis
trict the marchers went. Then they
