I was particularly 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 that if that raised its head in the conference we must remember those submerged millions who had suffered and were still suffering from war. and who would hold this conference to account if it failed them." Of the four women appointed by President Harding on the limitation of armament conference advisory committee of 21, only one, Mrs. Win ter, heads a great organization. "So you see," says Mrs. Winter, in com menting to the general federation upon her appointment, ' the compli ment Is to the federation and not to me." But the nearly 2,000.000 who compose the 'greatest woman's or ganlzation on earth" know and are saying through the press in first one state and another, that if their chief "had not been the woman she is, the organization she represents probably would not have received the great honor It has received at the hands of the president of the United States." The other three women serving on the committee with such men as Her bert Hoover, General Pershing, Colo nel Roosevelt. Governor Parker and others of equal note and outstanding ability, are Mrs. Katharine Kdson of California, Mrs. Charles Summer Bird of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan. world trav eler. Mrs. Edson is the outstanding woman of the Pacific coast in matter per taining to women in industry and is a member of the Republican national committee. Mrs. Bird has done notable work In suffrage and for all causes relating to the betterment of women and was one of the very early workers in the general federation. Mrs. Egan is a writer of note on Far Eastern questions and has had much contact with" diplomatic mat ters involved. Committee Attends Main Sessions The advisory committee attends the main sessions of the conference and is seated immediately behind the American plenipotentiaries. Its work is divided under various sub-committees: Reduction of naval forces; re duction of land forces; new agencies !n warfare; the Far Kast and Pacific questions; general information, which means trying to keep informed as to the sentiment of the country and probably correlating such lnforma tion for the use' of the man commis sioners. Only Four Women en Floor The four women, of whom the pres ident of the General Federation of Women's Clubs is one, are seated im mediately behind the American pleni potentiaries at the armament confer ence and are the only women on the floor. When President Harding received the armament advisory committee he said he was "proud to be the first president to recognize women by placing 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 and Mrs. Hughes tendered them a reception at the Pan-American building. Both events were bril liant occasions, "when blazing uni forms from all over the world out shone the women's dresses, and the faces of men famous In their respec tive countries and familiar through their pictures were seen on all sides." Washington is planning many otn- er attentions to the representatives of the conference, with special cour tesies to the four women committee members. Mrs. Winter, In commenting upon the work of the committee of which she is a member, says:' "The greatest influence to strength en belief in government will be the success of this conference. It needs the faith of all America and all the world not passive faith but active faith. It needs that we all should realize the complications, the tragic financial condition of the world, the terrible economic problems of every country, the left-over hatreds and an tagonism of war time, and yet be yond all the moving power which Victor Huga describes when he says. "There is no force on earth so great as that of an idea whose hour has come." "This is Just a personal note of appreciation to you, my dear federa tion friends, for all of the faith and hope that made you ask the president of the United States to place me on the advisory committee of the arma ment conference. American woman today than to have a share, however small, in helping to bring the world one step nearer to brotherhood and peace."

THE DOCTOR SELDOM COMES P-i-JTT A WHERE THE LAUNDRY WAGON CALLS REGULARLY In figuring up washday expense there is an item rightly chargeable which many wo men overlook. That item is doctor bills of all causes that bring complications to women at this season of the year there are none so potent as washday in the home. Think it over for a moment first, the heavy work; then the moist air, damp floors and wet feet; finally the running in and out from a warm, steamy house, to a cool outdoors. Is it a wise risk to take; a fair price to pay? The beauty of this service of ours is that we take out of the home everything that pertains to washday. You simply call us, and in no time at all your washing is back as sweetly clean and finely finished as if you had laundered it yourself. As for the cost,you will find it truly moderate.
