Cast of 500 to Present High
Lights of Growth to World
Organization.
The history of the Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union since its in
ception in 1894 will be portrayed by
a cast of 500 men, women and chil
dren in Constitution Hall at 8 o'clock
tonight as the finale of the Sixteenth
Triennial Convention of the World
Union, which opened here last Thurs
day.
Beginning with a prologue by the
character of Frances Willard, who
in 1893 envisioned a world union of
the forces against liquor, the pageant
will move through 10 scenes depicting
the growth of the movement in the
United States and its spread to other
countries, as exemplUed in the world
conventions.
About 80 children and young men
and women will take part in the pro
duction. Other parts will be played
by members of the District W. C.
T. U. and officers, delegates and visi
tors to the convention, several of
whom will appear in roles which they
themselves played in episodes of the
organization's history.
The native costumes of 37 visiting
countries will be presented in the
course of the pageant as delegates and
visitors offer sketches or songs of
their native lands, or as they take
part in the parade of colors at, the
conclusion of the program.
Throughout the program organ
music, solos and choir selections will
be interpolated in keeping with the
phase of the pageant being presented.
Katharine Wilfley, daughter of Mrs.
Earle Wilfley, general chairman of
convention arrangements of the
Washington W. C. T. U„ will take the
part of Frances Willard. Mrs. Ella
A. Boole, president of the World
Union; Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, first
vice president, and Miss Agnes Slack
of England will play the roles they
enacted at the world convention in
Stockholm, Sweden, in 1934.
Period costumes will be used in
several of the early American scenes.

made an appeal “to the governments
ooncerned to protect the native races
from the temptation of intoxicating
liquor." Convention officials did not
interpret this resolution as directed at
United States rum distilleries in the
Virgin Islands, a subject of attack in
several convention addresses.
A plan for universal peace also
was included in the resolutions
brought in by the committee which
based its program on addresses by
President Roosevelt, members of Con
gress, the delegates themselves repre
senting 37 countries and religious and
educational leaders.
Speeches and a forum discussion on
“International Phases of the Alcohol
Problem” also were on the day’s pro
gram, while tonight, at the conclusion
of the five-day meeting at Constitu
tion Hall, there will be a pageant—
“Souls Courageous.”
Brewster Denies Problem Solved.
Last night, Representative Brew
ster, Republican, of Maine, told the
convention that because last year
liquor taxes contributed "only *500,
! 000,000 instead of the *1,000,000.000
that was promised,” and that "from
one-quarter to one-half of the liquor
consumed is still manufactured and
sold outside the law • * * the problem
of control of the liquor traffic was not
ended by repeal.”
"Recovery is now here, according to
those in authority,” Brewster said,

"but one-third of our Nation Is still

rather Is more rampant. Commitments
to Federal prisons this last year
reached#an all-time high.
"Even bootlegging has far from
ceased. Two years after repeal the
Federal Government established a
record of seizing 16,60 illegal stills
and getting 18,521 convictions for
violation of the liquor iaws. The best
estimates of the authorities indicate
that from one-quarter to one-half of
the liquor consumed is still manufac
tured and sold outside the law. Many
patriotic citiaens sinoerely believed
there was a better way to control the
liquor traffic than by prohibition. They
are now having their day In court and
are entitled to the loyal co-operation
of all thoughtful Americans In the
endeavor to make some other system

nil Faith tn Education.
“Meanwhile, all will agree that
education la the one flnal answer
to the age-old problem that we face.
As each Individual comes to the con
clusion that there is more Joy in living
without alcohol, the problem for him
will be no more."
In the election of officers held yes
terday, Mrs. Ella A. Boole of Evanston,
111., president of the World Union, was
re-elected for her third consecutive
three-year term.
With the exception of Mrs. Milda
Kempels of Latvia, chosen for the
office of third vice president in place
of Miss Dagmer Prior of Denmark, all
officers were re-elected for t’ e three
year term. They are:
Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, Evanston,
111., president of the National W. C.
T. U., first vice president; Mrs. Evelyn
Strang, Australia, second vice presi
dent; honorary secretaries, Miss Agnes
E. Slack, England, and Mrs. W. T. G.
Brown, Canada, with Mrs. Margaret
C. Munns, Evanston, as honorary
treasurer. The officers receive no
salary.
Mrs. Anna Klara Fischer, president
of the German W. C. T. U„ told the
convention last night of her organi
zation's successful efforts to popularize
non-alcoholic fruit beverages and to
put in operation a number of res
taurants where no liquor is served.
Booklet Gives Recipes.
"Recipes for the non-alooholic
drinks have been placed in a little
booklet called ‘What Shall We
Drink?”* Mrs. Fischer said, adding
that thousands of copies of the book
let have been distributed throughout
Germany and other German-speaking
countries.
Describing the “dry” restaurants
which her organization has started
in many of the larger cities of Ger
many, Mrs. Fischer said their suc
cessful operation was undoubtedly one
of the reasons why Hitler appointed
last year “our group of women as host
esses for more than 400 women Olym
pic. competitors from 26 different
countries.”
Convention officials recalled last
night that when Mrs. Fischer told
Hitler of her intention of coming to
this country for the convention he
suggested the “expense is too much
Just to go over there for a meeting.”
Apparently with this counsel in mind,
Mrs. Fischer declined an invitation to
go motoring with the German Am
bassador one afternoon recently, stat
ing she was "too busy, and came over
here for work, not for sightseeing."
Tells of Argentina Work.
Senora Isabel Gonzales Rodriguez of
Buenos Aires, Introduced last night as
"probably the most able woman
speaker in South America,” made good
her reputation, as, speaking in Span
ish, her strong delivery and manner
isms brought applause from the
audience many times before the in
terpreter translated her remarks.
Senora Rodriguez was in charge
of organizing the women's activities
in her country for the Pan-American
Peace Conference in Buenos Aires.
She described efforts to better the
lot of natives in her country through
temperance teaching. Mrs. Emily
Moffat Clow of Ireland also spoke.
Visitors and delegates to the conven
tion went on a sightseeing trip to
Mount Vernon yesterday afternoon.
Several officers and committees are
to remain in Washington tomorrow to
discuss future plans for the organiza
tion's alcohol education campaign
and possibly to select the city for the
1940 convention.

Centuries of Human Service
Save Girl-Slaying St. Bernards
By the Associated Press.
HOSPICE OF THE GREAT 8T.
BERNARD, Switzerland, June 8.—The
great dogs of the monastery of St.
Bernard were saved from extermina
tion today because of their 1,000-year
record of service to lost wayfarers in
the Alpine, snows.
The sudden brutality which recently
caused one of the St. Bernards to
attack and kill a 10-year-old French
girl could not be held sufficient to
Justify extermination of the entire
breed, the commandant of the Swiss
gendarmes ruled.
The commandant said he found
the dogs were of general good nature
and were not a public danger. Three
of the dogs, he said, were sent over
the frontier to an Italian dog farm
when it was found they might prove
dangerous.
“It must be recognized,” the com
mandant said, “that the dogs rendered
a great service to humanity through
out the ages.”
Dr. Jean Bremond, whose little
daughter was killed by one of the St.
Bernards while she was skiing May
