WASHINGTON SOCIETY FAST - RETURNING TO NORMALCY Every Day M itnesses Arrival From Many Quarters of People TromU v nent in Social Life of Capital. 8 FOREIGN CAPITALS AND OTHER CITIES CONTRIBUTE GOSSIP BY " R T. 6. (Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonian.) w rASHINGTON, t. C, Sept. 23. Washington is just beginning to wake up to the fact that lit already well organized move ment in behalf of a change in .the foreign policy of the United States i nnffpr wav in mis counirj movement which does not disguise tha fact that it is pointed toward co-operation with the league of na tions or membership in an asso ciation of nations reorganized from the existing league. The odd part of the new propa ; ganda is that it seems all to come from republican rather than demo cratic sources. The remark has more than once been facetiously made In Washing ton during the last two or three days that if the hesitant democrats do not look out the republicans eventually will take the league of nationsi issue away from them and win the next presidential election wltn it. , - I With the exception- of Governor " - Cox himself, most of the democratic leaders are hoping the league won't be mentioned in the congressional campaigns now on. They have not recovered from the heavy blows of 1920 and are afraid to stir the tempest anew. But republicans, at home and abroad, are not hesitating to discuss the international situation and to say that the United States must take a more prominent part in world affairs if stable conditions ever are to be attained. " . It is notable that during the pres ent month three prominent repub lican leaders have visited Geneva and attended meetings of the assembly of the league of nations. They have talked with the leaders of the league and all of them, it seems, have agreed that a study of. the. situa tion shows many ways in which the United States could help with out in any way involving 1 itself in "entangling alliances." Republicans who have attended the league ses sions are Senator McKinley of Illi nois and Spencer of Missouri and Theodore Burton, representative 'from Ohio. Mr. McKinley frankly has said that he believes - certain changes in the league, including a change of name, might Induce the United States to enter. That is a bold statement for a distinctly ad ministration senator to make. One of the latest organizations to take up the new propaganda is called "the committee of American business men," with George Henry Payne as executive director and headquarters hi New York. This committee declares: "No more important questions are before the American public than the attitude it must take (1) as to the treatment of debts; (2) representa tion on the reparations 'commission and (3) our attitude toward the league of nations, if so amended and functioning as to remove the prin cipal objections to American affilia tion with such an organization." In all this recrudescenie of the league, it must be remembered that President Harding himself has ap proved the Idea of an association of nations'. i " Veterans of the world war and ELEPHANT THROWS 2-TON - RAIL AT WOMAN IN PARK Khartoum, Crabbed Captive in New York Zoo, Gets Jealous Because Supply of Peanuts Goes to Rivals. BY JESSIES HENDERSON. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) NEW YORK, Sept. 23. (Special.) Existence grows more pre carious every hour hereabouts. To be bumped by a taxi i3 nothing unusual, and to have an electric sign or a bit of scaffolding dropped on your neck is all a part of the day's fun. But to have two-ton rails " tossed at you by a peevish elephant is one of the dangers o( life in a great city with which the average pedestrian does not reckon. They knew Khartoum was a crabbed youth. Up at the Bronx zoo they kept him in a specially constructed cage, and because the outer, rim of the cage had been made of two-ton steel railroad rails they thought all was well. Khartoum, however, thought dif ferently. He thought it the other afternoon while a good third of all the mothers and children in town were standing in front of his cage feeding peanuts to another of the elephants. If Khartoum has a weakness, it's for peanuts. Combined with the fact that an airplane had been buzzing overhead all afternoon, It was an aggravation no longer to be endured without protest. Khartoum reached the conclusion just as Mrs. Josephine Giegerich and her two small children reached the elephant cage. Once Khartoum flapped his ears and once he trum peted. Then, whooshl Through the air came one of the two-ton steel rails of the inclosure. To gather up a pair of panicky children and at the same moment dodge a two ton rail is no mean achievement. Mrs. Giegerich came so near ac complishing this feat that only the end of the rail struck her. It was plenty, of course., but not fatal. Except, perhaps, toy Khartoum, who may have to be killed if his temper doesn't mend. " , - Among the inspiring1 sights of the week was the woman's Activities exhibit at the Hotel Commodore. Without this first annual show you would not have any Idea how active women really are. It seems that they manage restaurants, run fur shops, manufacture stained glass windows, and altogether contrive to display a vast deal of efficiency in directions most unexpected. More than 50 vocations were rep resented, and it was announced that the 500 New York women memjbers of the league have an earning ah, and a spending power of $1,500,000 a year. But the. high spot- of the exhibit was the fashion show, which demonstrated the sort of things a snappy business woman ought to wear and doesn't. The trim tailored blouse instead of the sloppy lace and georgette affair you know, and set among the other etyles like a pearl of great price among garments, was a demonstra tion of how the stout business woman should dress if she wants to look less so. And while the business women were demonstrating what brains, combined with tact, can accomplish, the ' athletic women of this town were holding the first women s track and field meet, demonstrat-1 ing that brains combined with ten- others inclined to grumble over the veto of the -bonus bill by President Harding and to rail at the ingrati tude of republics in general may be interested in the story of a briga dier-general of the British army, now on the reserve list of officers, who has been tramping London for I the past nine months looking for ai " ' " ' worK. . . 1 a 1. l.V. .a .,.. a mlT LUG UKHL VI HCditii, HU nam a unit tary record extending over 30 years.

Seven times mentioned In dis patches. Also made a commander of the. Order of Michael and George, awarded the croix -de guerre and other medals. The London Express tells the story in an issue received In Wash ington late Friday and concludes: "He now lives In two rooms in northwest , London, and undismayed by nine months' futile search, is still, bravely seeking work. His only son Ms at an English public school and his great desire is to ,earn enough money to allow his boy to complete his education and enter the. army."- The officer served under Lord Cavan, r who commanded the 14th British 'corps and under whom th Prince of Wales also served as ft staff captain. Thd British, by the way, never permit war correspondents to write anything about the prince and hi work in the army. This, was such a contrast to the manner in which the Germans were exploiting th work of the crown prince and all his brothers that the writer, at tached to the British forces in the field prior to the entry of th United States in the war, repeatedly sought permission to write some thing of the prince's military career for the American people. I urged on the good old ground of "very fine propaganda," but badly, as th British admitted themselves to be in need of the proper sort of props ganda, they would not permit this Invasion of the sacred domain of royalty. Nevertheless it was nothing to visit Lord Cavan s headquarters and see the little prince "snap, into It when the general spoke. One cold and rainy day in late November of 1916, we were all' standing about when something screeched noisily overhead. It sounded something like the rush of a. heavy freight train and it landed a couple of hundred yards away with a great commotion It was just a stray German shell a "Jack Johnson.". "Wonder where that blooming thing came from," I inquired some what foolishly of Lieutenant-Col onel John Champion Fauntherpe. "Oh, I suppose the bally boche are showing some' visitors about the front and they wanted to see a gun go off," he replied without a trace of interest. One or those -same mysterious stray shells a few days later killed a brigadier-general as he was walk ing alone in a wood's where no shell had ever fallen before. dons can accomplish a good deal likewise. 4 Camelia Sabie tied her world's record, made at the Olympic games in Paris last summer, by taking lour hurdles and 60 yards in 9 sec onds flat.

There's a good deal to be said, however, for the old - fashioned woman. And .most of it was said the othter day at the birthday oarty of Mrs. Maschi Urdang. Mrs. Urdang was 112 years old, and didn't care who knew -it. Everyone in the Daughters of Israel -Home, where Mrs. Urdang lives, knew it, because Mrs. Urdang invited to the party seven other1 women, each aged more than 100. One was 108, another 107 and two .105, which ils quite a few years to have spent n this whirl ing planet. v "I have no rules for long life, Mrs. Urdang said. "Incidentally, that a why I'm 112." Drinking Bill of England Falls Off 18 Per Cent. Credit for Astonishing Decrease In Consumption of Liquor Is Claimed by Prohibitionists. T ONDON, Sept. 23. (By the As -Li sociated Press.) The astonish ing decrease of 1J per cent is shown In England's bills for alcoholic drinks for the first half of this year as compared with, thjj same period in 1921. The experts are unable to account for this drop, which is a record except for theperiod of the war, but it is generally thought to be due to the unemployment situa tion and h4gh prices. The falling off in drinking has caused great satisfaction among the prohibitionists. who claim the credit. The decrease amounts to 25,000.000 from the 1921 figure 'of 195.000,000. .--. - .-, ;; The largest falling off is shown in the consumption of beer and hard spirits, while wines and ciders show a substantial increase, probably due to their low costs. The export of spirits from Great Britain reached its highest mark during this period since America went dry,' increasing: 15 per cent.'- The largest increase was exports to Canada. ,' , " Before the .war London s was an evening dress town, with a true English regard for custom and pro priety in sartorial embellishments, such as white waistcoats, starched Shirt fronts and' dangling" coattails. not to mention silk toppers, which after dark Sotted the streets of the theater district and clubland like chimney pots dot London's roofs.

BY NORMAN H. MATSON. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) LONDON, Sept. 23. The storm of refutation and denunciation ex pected .from leaders of the church because at the universal con gress of the British association, of scientists" man was denied a soul," has not materialized. Theologians are not railing at sci ence, nor scientists at theology. Ten years ago the suggestion made by Sir Charles She.rrlng'ton that man may be a soulless machine would certainly have prdvoked partisan wrath tn English public and private controversy. Now the leaders of the church answer with a defense of science, adding a mild suggestion as to the limits of the province of set ence, and the efforts of the more excitable press to start a popular controversy failed to arouse old subscribers of Vox Populi to write a single letter to the editor. One is forced to conclude that for the-moment the human soul as fact or myth can't make page one.' There is so general interest in the subject. If W. J. Bryan wanted to argue about Darwin over , here he would have to talk to himselr mostly. ' ' Soul la Argued Away. ' Without once mentioning the soul. Sir Charles Sherrington argued it out of existeifce. He suggested that instead of man consisting of ARMY TO HAVE SPECTACULAR GUN TESTS - , ' - two parts body and soul he is to be considered as' much a singl entity as a motor car. To his own two questions "Is the living organ ism a machine?" and "Is life the running of a mechanism?" he in dicated in a long affirmative speech affirmative answers. He did not, of course, make any final statements. "Knowledge of muscle contraction has advanced re cently more than in any decades heretofore," he said. "The engineer would find it difficult' to make a motive machine out of the white of an egg, some dissolved salts and thin membranes. Yet this is prac tically what nature has done in muscle, and obtained a machine of high mechanical efficiency. One feature in the device is alternative development and rempval of acidity. The cycle of contraction and relaxa tion is traced to the production Of lactid acid and from glycogen and its neutralization chiefly, by alkra- iiutj proteins; anu t u v .imm 1 1 J lu adsalrabiy direct transition from cnemicai 10 mecnanicai ?riecc Creature Eaaenllal I nit. .- And after briefly "stating what man has learneij of psychology he concludes: "It may well be possible to un derstand the mechanism whicl; we have not the.-means or skill our selves to construct.

' Instead of rebuking this great scientist who announces In effect that the hunt for the-soul has been quite in vain, the archbishop of York says that the new tolerance of religion for science, wliich has been substituted for .noisy and fruitless conflict., la the result of a deepening conviction that truth is many-sided and theology and science alike are Us servants, each in its own sphere trying to understand and Interpret the meaning of experience as it confronts them, both in what is called external nature and in the mind and spiTlt of man. - Two Questions Remain. Dean Inge contented himself with saying that "natural science is the principal vehicle of revelation to us in the 20th century," and pointed out that the sciences deal almost entirely with objects which can be weighed or counted. Their stand ards are almost entirely quanlitive. i nese metnoas are enougn to ascer tain the .truth of certain aspects ot reality, but they do-not attempt to explain reality as a whole, or. If they do, the attempt is a failure.

Kaiser's Wedding Enough to Make Dead Uneasy. Stnld Old Heada of House of Reus IV ould Be Surprised. B EUL1N, Sept. 23. (By' the As sociated Press.) Families of the German nobility are pointing out that the staid old heads of the elder line " of the house of Reuss probably would rest uneasily In their graves could they hear the currsnt announcement that a mem ber of their house was about to marry into the Prussian Imperial nobiltty.- ... It is not three-score years ago that the-ancestorg .of Prfhcess Her- mine were at odds with the Hohen zolleYn whose ranks she is expected to join shortly, liaaomlng the second wife of former "Emperor William. It took, the -war of 1870 and its re sult to remove the long-standing antipathy born by the Princedom of Reuss toward the Potsdam court. The former was then established in court at Greiz, which is the princess' birthplace. It was a tiny prince dom of only 31 square-kilometers and 72,000 inhabitants. Under William II. the house of Reuss ranked as the equal in no bility with that of Hohenzollern, which is not true of the Schoenalch Carolaths, to which Princess Her mlne." first husband belonged. The latter family, however, enjoyed the favor of the ex-kaiser. A, climax to the kaiser's esteem for both the Reuss and Schoenalch Car.V.ath families comes in his en gagement to Princess Hermine. Were the monarchy, still in existence she -would be not only the German empress but queen of the Prussia her forebears so disliked. It has been arranged that the princess will bring with her to Doom castle her three youngest children. The two eldest sons will attend school at Greiz. Re igious circles throughout Ger many are calling attention to the fact that the coming Sunday is the 400th anniversary of the appearance of Murtin Luther's Bible. Luther first devoted himself to . the new testament, writing the last sentence of it in. March, 1522. After reading the proofs with a companion re former he sent it to the printer and on September 21, 1522, some 5000 copies were Issued from the press at wittenoorg. This became the famed "September Bible." Luther then turned to the .old testament, completing the entire Bible in 1534. Oil Hunt Ordered. ANCHORAGE, Alaska.

Every day brings back many o social prominence from all corners of the'eountry and globe. Congress has adjourned and the vice-president and Mrs. ' Coolidge have decided to spend the autumn In Massachusetts now that the vlce preaident is not needed by the sen ate. "Though many members of the house only returned to town In the last week or so, the majority left when congress disbanded on Friday. Most of them have important polit ical matters to look after.

They've got It all over the Europeans like a summer sky. Ever notice It, walking around Paris you never see any youngsters girls or boys either between 1 and 19? They must exist, but where are they? You see plenty of kids and you see men and women who look younger than their clothes, but you don't see any that look the age of these youngsters here." There is much truth in the ob servation.
