Advisory Board of
Arms Conference
' . ' . -1 :-'
It is a tery wonderful experi
ence.' writes Mrs. Thomas G.
Winter, president of the General
federation of Women's Club, now
sitting as an adrisory committee
member of the Limitations of
Arms Conference, "to see these
great men gathered from coun
tries far away, to hear Briand.
Balfour and others, and through
it all to feel the pulse of Ameri
ca the firm and spiritual pur
pose ; of the president and the
straight, honorable diplomacy of
Secretary Hushes which la its im
mediate statement of principles
and remedies, is a wonderful ex
ample of American idealism, the
kind . of idealism that has its feet
on- earth and its head high up in
Ood'a sunshine. I was n&rticul&r-
ly struck by a few sentences that
came from the representative of
Portugal, who said In effect that
the only hindrance We could meet
lay in national egotism, and it
mat raised its head in the confer
ence we must remember the sub
merged millions .who had BUf-
ierea and -were still suffering
frftm; war, and, who, .would hold
ims conference to- account if it
failed them.'; .

Committee Attrada
The advisor' commitee, attends
the main sessions of the confer

behind the American plenipoten
tiaries. Its work is divided under
various sub-committees: Reduc
tion of naval forces; reduction of
land forces; new agencies in war
fare; the Far East and Pacific
questlens; general information,
which means trying to keen in
formed as to the sentiment of the
country and probably correlating
sucht information for the use of
the main commissioners.

,The four women, of whom the
president of the G. F. W. C. Is
one. are seated immediately he-
hind the American plenipotentiar

when President Harding re
ceived the armament advisory
committee he said he was "proud
to be the first president to rec
ognize women by nlaclng them on
such a committee.
The evening of the opening of
the conference, a reception was
given to the delegates at the
White House, and on the evening
of the 14th, Secretary Hughes
tendered them a reception at the
Parf-American building. Both
events were brilliant occasions,'
"when blazing uniforms from all
over the world outshone the wom
en's dresses, pnd the faces of men
famous In their respective coun
tries and familiar through their
pictures were seen on all sides."

what you lik.e. and having found
out remembered
Books are sot only of intrinsic
value but Jlhey .have a!so. associa
tion values and those who make
a book part of their own life and
thought by marginal notes andi
markings. nave a record of the de
velopment of their own personal
ity. Those who 'do this can to
back now and see what things Im
pressed them most in years' past
and find, how farseeing they were
or in turn how tlkeir ideas have
changed in the interval.
Those who have books written
by men and wotnen of wide ex
perience and training may make
those experiences" and that train
ing their own and so live a bigger
life even though far fram library,
museum and college. Those who
ave with books l live with the
great, they livej and travel the
wide world 'round and find life
one wonderful round of learning
and" seeing -new things. '
These are the souls we meet.
And with them joy aud aspire,
As we it at their sacred feet.
By the quiet evening fire.
So. friend, of the steadfast heart,
Friends of the loving, look,
When you, would give me a gift.
Always give we a book.
('Quotations from Helen Ekln
Starrett's "The Best Gift." Trom
"Crocus and Wintergreen.")
Because a man calls hi wife
"dear" in public is no sign they
have a happy home life- maybe
she is, at any price.
The number of wrist watches in
this country has' not reduced the
number of people who are always
asking what time of day it is.
