Washington, Sept. 24.—With Presi
dent and Mrs. Harding back at the
w hite House and the latter holding long
conferences with her social secretary,
Miss Laura Harlan, who has just re
turned from a vacation in Canada; with
congressional members drifting back to
the city after a recess that ended last
Tuesday; with the opening of the su
preme court only a week off—well,
Washington is almost like its old self
again after its summer lethargy. Both
President and Mrs. Harding got right
down to work immediately, the former
finding his desk piled high with impor
tant matters and the latter finding it
necessary to consider her winter so
cials, which will probably not only in
clude the functions that are usually giv
en at the White House, but other state
affairs for notables attending the con
ference for the limitation of arma
ments. It promises to be a strenuous
winter for Mrs. Harding—but then
when are'nt her duties strenuous?
President and Mrs. Harding are plan
ning at least one more jaunt on the
Mayflower, to my knowledge. I had
thought, perhaps, the one they just re
turned from would be the last, but not
so. Of course this one won't be all
play, for they will go to Yorktown, Vir
ginia, and from there to Williamsburg,
where the president will be the princi
al speaker, when Dr. J. A. Chandler
will be formally installed as president
of the College of William and Mary on
Oetober 19.
Conference Is Main Topic.
The conference is the main topic of
conversation, no matter where one
goes. It is discussed not only at the
dinner, luncheon and tea tables, but in
the real estate offices and the shops
and at the hotels and every place else.
The whole town seems to be thinking
nothing else and Baltimore seems to
have caught the fever, too.
And the different staffs of the corps
are running around trying to get every
thing settled to make the delegations
from various countries comfortable
when they come. The are said, too,
to be planning to give entertainments
for their own countrymen attending
the conference. It has been said by
several, who ought to know, that the
conference contrary to all expectations
will not be marked by much entertain
ing, but I think they only refer to of
ficial entertainments, not considering
the entertainment that the diplomats
are likely to give and that various pri
vate individuals are sure to give.
It has been said that Secretary of
State and Mrs. Hughes will give just
one big party. But I think it is safe
to say that the White House will en
VOTE ONE WAY AND DRINK ANOTHER!
It is impossible to study the effects
of prohibition over a large area and
escape the conviction that never before
has there been enacted a law which has
bred such widespread corruption, offi
cial and unofficial, says Samuel Hop
kins Adams in Collier's Weekly. To
hold the law itself responsible is, of
course, the shallowest casuistry. The
blame must be imputed first to our na
tional spirit of insubordination which
bids us refuse allegiance to the will of
the majority unless our own private
conscience jumps with it; second, to
the attitude, supine or worse, of those
who, having promulgated the law, now
cripple their own enactment by negli
gence of the means to enforce it, as if
a man should build and launch a ship
and then leave it, masterless, to the
disposal of wind and wave.
Prohibition enforced would be at
least an honest and worthy experiment.
Prohibition half enforced or unenforced
is merely an incitement to trickery,
lawlessness, blackmail and extortion.
It has hatched a precious brood of
lawbreakers ministering to the un
ashamed demand for stimulants of a
public which would blush at the thought
of a tacit conspiracy to nullify any
other law; many of these enterprises
being adjuncts to otherwise reputable
trades.
Then there are the minor financiers
FUN IN DOLLARS AND CENTS
One cent wise and dollar foolish are
we all when it comes to money. It is
our great medium of exchange. Me
dium is "right," when applied to our
supply. It is always someone else
who has plenty of coin and paper of the
realm. With us our medium portion
seems toos mall. Especially is this
true at the first of the month when a
flock of bills "fly" in by way of Uncle
Sam's mail system. Even the nickel
has become "buffaloed" and the dime
is only good for phone calls. The quar
ter does not measure strong liquor
any more and the buying power of the
half dollar is cut in two. Single dol
lars are very lonesome nowadays and
they have to work in groups of "fives"
and "tens" to make material purchases.
Under most conditions money is no
joke. But it serves as a foundation
for jokesmiths' fun. You always get
full value if laughs for your money
when you visit a theater showing "Top
ics of the Day" films. Saved! No
money is required for the privilege of
enjoying this column of money merri

Working Women Urged
to Keep Maiden Name
by Margaret Wilson
Discussing the question "Should
Married Woman Use Her Maiden
Name?" in the October lsvu« of Me
Call 's magazine. Miss Margaret Wilson,
the talented daughter of ex-President
Wilson, who is herself a professional
singer, says that although it is a ques
tion of individual opinion whether mar
ried women should always use their
maiden names, a professional woman
should use the name she began her
career with.
;**A professional woman," writes Miss
Wilson, "because she must maintain
her established identity beyond the
circle in which she is known person
ally, does the wise thing, and really the
necessary one, when she keeps, for pro
fessional purposes, the name she car
ried when she began her work.
"Women doctors, milliners, dress
makers, and so forth, cannot afford to
put new names in their windows or in
the telephone books after they are
married, for evident reasons. It is
plainly a practical necessity for pro- <
tertain for conference members at
least once and then there will be many,
many smaller entertainments and the
city is sure to be gayer than ever in
its history and it will "get gay" earlier.
Any way you put it, it is sure to be a
winner. Mrs. Harding is sure to an
nounce her plans early next month.
Social Season Starts Earlier.
The conference coming here in No
vember means that the entertaining at
the White House will begin earlier than
usual, but I have been informed that
traditional state receptions will be giv
en in January and February, the state
dinners a little earlier, and all be over
before Lent.
Already a number of charity balls
have been announced as planned for
the early days of the conference and
more are -being planned.
Last winter Washington broke all
records for charity balls. Many weeks
there were two and three within seven
days, and one of those days was Sun
day.
The board of governors of the Na
tional Women's Federation have an
nounced that they will give a ball and
pageant featuring the different nations
represented at the armament confer
ence on the evening of November 16.
Of course the delegates to the confer
ence and other distinguished visitors
will all be especially invited and will
be grest drawing cards.
The .Robert E. Lee chapter, United
Daughters of Confederacy, have an
nounced a ball on November 21. You
see the conference is responsible for all
entertainments starting much earlier
this year than usual.
How About the Wilsons?
Washington is wondering if former
President Wilson and his wife will take
part in the social features of the con
ference. You see this winter will find
two ex-presidents living In the national
capital, a condition that never existed
heretofore. Former President Taft,
now chief justice of the supreme court,
will be sure to take part in the social
life, not only as former president, but
as chief justice. Mr. Wilson is just a
private citizen, not of the same politi
cal faith as the powers-that-be, so
some are wondering if the foreign dele
gates to the conference, most of whom
are personally acquainted already with
Mr. Wilson, may with propriety call
upon that gentleman. European poli
ticians are extremely formal about that
sort of thing and probably will make
certain of the situation before leaving
their cards at 2340 S. street.
It was thought that when Rene Viyl
ani was here recently on a special
mission, he would visit Mr. Wilson, but
he did not and it is said, perhaps, the
French minister might have been more
tactful than to refrain from doing so.

Hughes' Keenness and Affability
Needed at Pacific Conference
Charles Evans Hughes has a special
talent for specific cases. He will need
it at the Pacific conference in Wash
ington.
The test of the tone of Great Bri
tain and of Japan will be what they
are willing to do in specific cases. But
the tendency of diplomacy is toward
vagueness.
The entente between Great Britain
and France was so vague that Ger
many was left in doubt as to Great
Britain's intentions during moments
productive of Germany's decisions.
The agreement between Secretary
Lansing and Viscount Ishii, in 1917,
says that, the United States admits
that Japan has "special interests" in
China. What "special interests?"
The agreement does not say.
The British are coming to Washing
ton from a country in which there is
a widely prevalent opinion that some
how at Washington during the coming
conference there will be a weaving of
diplomatic threadsi nto a psychological
fabric of "understanding" between the
English-speaking nations. The Seven
Seas are strewn with the wrecks of
fleets that have fought to adjust the
situations growing out of such vague
nesses.
We may have occasion now to be
deeply grateful to the specifying, de
tailing, exacting quality of Mr. Hughes'
mind. A few years âgo people were
sometimes inclined to think that he
was aloff and aloft and seeking refuge
from his fellow man behind his big
black beard. Now this beard is whiter
and more benign and his teeth—if one
may mention teeth as having a bearing
on the fate of the Far East—seem
somehow very much less like the mills
of the gods preparing to grind every
body exceedingly small. Now they
seem simply appropriate parts of smil
ing. It is a smiling Mr. Hughes, it
is a chatting and amusing Mr. Hughes,
it is a Mr. Hughes who seems to be
enjoying living, who "will welcome Eu
rope and Asia to Washington.
The last world war \v;is preceded
by the forming of two groups of na
tions. Mr. Harding and Mr. Ilughcv
have invited to this conference all of
the nations (except Russia) that are
importantly involved in the affairs of
the area which threatens to produce
the next world war. If now Mr.
Hughes, with all his old edge of mind
and with all his new happiness of man
ner, can succeed in preventing those
nations from falling into groups and
can succeed in bringing them at Wash
ington to an agreement on just a few
actually definite definitions of the rules
of conduct which they will faithfully
follow in a fair, friendly development of
the resources of the Far East, he
will have done more to prevent the
next world war than any European
statesman ever did to prevent the last
one. —From "God and Chess at the
Washington Conference," by William
Hard, in Asia Magazine for October.
RESEMBLES LUMBERJACK CAMP.
Larry Semon's location for his new
Vitagraph comedy, "The Sawmill,"
looks like a cross between an army
commissary department and a lumber
jack's cainj». It is in the mountains of
upper California. While the woincu
members of the company have hotel ac
commodations, rough cabins were built
to house the male contingent. A camp
kitchen commands considerable reipect
as the outdoor life has boosted-the ap

Larry is always looking for novelties

"The Sawmill."
