Memorial Plans Are Broadcast by Henry Monsky Shrine, Tomh and University Department of Diplomacy Will Perpetuate Memory of President Harding. The perpetuation of the memory of AVarren G. Harding through the es tablishment of a department of dip lomacy In a university; making his former home % ehrlne, and to provide a fitting resting place for his body at Marion by the Harding Memorial association, was urged by Henry Monsky in a speech broadcast by WOAW radio station last night. •‘President Harding came to the office of chief executive when the country required the most efficient type of leadership,” Mr. Monsky said. All of the consequent ills and burdens of the great world war de manded the attention of the best minds and the most experienced lead ers of the nation. Post-war inac tion was manifested in a seething dissatisfaction and disse n s 1 o n throughout the land. The difficult task of readjustment to conditions of peace fell to the lot of our lender. He had promised his utmost effort toward a return to normalcy. He strove most industriously to redeem his promise and to discharge fully his- responsibility. That he did this well, js evidenced by the manifest appreciation snd esteem of the en t.re nrt!V. evinced at the time of his death. He did it however, at the cost of hie health snd his vitality. He gate the full measure of devo tion. "To accomplish these purpcs-'s, the Harding Memorial association" was incorporated by President OPoUdgc. members of the cabinet, and other mtn of prominence who are devoted to the ideal of public service. PreH dent Ksrfling's memory |g to be per petuated sr a treasured possesion of the people awl this is the aim of the 1,‘srdlpg Memorial association. Ac ->rdi,ig to its published announce nont. it proposes to do this: First, by providing «‘fitting resting place for his body tt Marion, O. Second, by making of tbe home whic h he so long loved and occupied, an enduring shrine for the preservation of his books, personal belonging and nw memos of affection bestowed upon him. Third, by establishing in some approved university. a department of instruction that shall fit men and wo men for Intelligent, efficient, busi ness and diplomatic government ser r ice. end fourth, by providing s fund sufficient to maintain these sever.il memorial* adequately and In perpe tuity. "It Is estimated that $1.000,000 will be suffleent to meet these require ments. This week has been set aside for public observance and It is hoped to secure these necessary funds Each contribution of f 1 or more will entitle the contributor to an associate mem bershlp ih the association aftd will Ve acknowledgment with a fitting, ap proprlate^and attractive certificate bearing slA engraved portrait of Presi dent Harding. Thus, will every cltl* xen be privileged in a concrete way to participate actively In this tribute of a great nation to one of its il lustrious sons, and at the same time, tp perform a constructive service for the future welfare and progress of the eouhtry.” Threat of New Bloc Won Delegate Fight <C*ftt>ee<l From Pee* One I to-ert th»*-> >!> de.fg-ite* to the south rr: s. ter. ) llftl.v Pnlitl.Bl llerlrion.

The farm bloc goe* sometime* one way and sometime* the Other. Various foreign Wore go sometimes one way and some times th# other. But the negro bloc ha* been continuously loyal. Tents Meeting. To a pereon who think* In terms of the past. It »e*m* grotesque for the republican leaders to bo inti mated by a threat that colored men will vote the democratic ticket. But some of the republican leader* *ay that event* have actually come to this pae*. and believe there wa* real danger that the northern negroes might next year vote democratic. They particularly feared thla If the democratic candidate ehould ire Me McAdoo. McAdoo has the kindly feel Ing of the colored people to a greater extent than any other democratic leader since the civil war. because, v hen he wee In control of the rail irsids, he directed that colored men be paid the same wagee aa white men for the eatne work. The scenea that attendad the ac tion in the committee meeting at time* approached ‘high excitement and occaaionally tended to caue* eti observer to reflect on some things that go to the heart of American life. The revereel today waa frankly In the Interest of the negro, but no ne pro apoka or took any direct part In the prpceedlni*. although everybody knew that private conference* hed taken place beforehand between In dividual colored leader* *nd Individ ual republican leader*. There wa* a marked sprinkling of colored inon end colored women In the meeting • •M along the alelee; ar.d at momenta when the controversy wps tense, It was easily evident that these colored men and women were under the strain of an emotion they found It hard to restrain. Their feeling for white champions were very apparent, and those champions themselves oc casionally showed strong feeling. A woman member of the committee from North Carolina was especially eloquent. She ended her speech by saying: "We have a chance for the first time to build up a real republican party In the south, and wc women are going to help. Remember what we face, and the worst thing in the world to face is prejudice. Don’t make it too hard for us.” Restored Overwhelmingly. The member front South Carolina, Joseph W. Talbert, made a highly emotional, almost passionate, plea that his state be restored front a basis of four delegates to one of 11 delegates. While Mr. Talbert was •peaking a woman rose to her Aft. and at the end of each of Mr. Al bert's emotional sentences, gave* a little rebel yell. The negro nten a^ women in the room also fell Into ths| •winging rhythm of canipnieeting fer vor. As another of the southern white men who fought for the change walk ed down the hall after his speech, the oolored men rushed up to him. patted him on the shoulder and whispered "God bless you.” The leader of those who wanted to keep the southern delegates cut down was Senator Robert Beecher Howell of Nebraska. About the only aid he had came from Senator Bursum of New Mexico. The principal speaker In favor of restoring the southern delegates was Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania. The vote in favor of restoring the southern delegations was overwhelming. Only a handful tried to stand by the committee’s earlier action. It was noticeable that there was no roll cell. and no record of how each mem ber voted. Tlie whole matter of southern dele sues cannot be stated in a column. There are many complexities to it. But the episode today made every thouchtful observer think of problems inherent in the composition of our American electorate, and likely lo make trouble In next year's elections; group action demanding and getting political results; the colored group, the foreign groups, the Ku Klux Klan and Hie resistance to the Ku Klux Klan: the suppression of negro vot ing in the south: the migration of ue gross to the north: the effect of the immigration that continues to come ill sp *e of the restriction law. Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” Dicky l« Told of the Decision. Dicky came into the room slowly, with a gloomy face and an elaborately fatigued air. But he brightened per ceptibly when he saw his sister, and I guessed that lie was as glad as I that her presence would avert, tem porarily, at least, a resumption of th« acrimonious discussion which had been halted by his departure from the apartment. "Hello. Harriet," he said cordially. “This is Indeed an unexpected pleas ure. I pictured you sitting by Ed win's liedslde. fanning him with pea cock feathers whllB he slept." His sister's face reddened, while I could have shaken Dicky for his un timely Jest. Harriet would lie Justi fied in thinking her brother the source of my knowledge concerning her too assidious devotion to her husband's comfort. "Iln not cjuite the ante-bellum p’ckaninny yet," she retorted, .-ifter « few seconds palpably spent in struggling for a composed mien. "And both you snd Edwin will huvo to engage other wlelders of peacock feathers. Margaret and l are going out to the farm tomorrow to stav until Mrs. Durkeg doesn't need Ed win's dally visits any longer." Dicky Is Dismayed. Dicky turned an astonished face upon me. md I noticed with secret satisfaction that there was as much dismay as amazement In the look "Going to the farm!" he repeated. "What's eating you both ail of a sudden? 1 thought you never-" lie turned to his sister, hut she did not permit him to finish the sen 1 tence "Deft Edwin to his own devices'.’" she finished, sardonically. "I never hnv hut I'm going to begin tomor row He'll probably pester you a ot. when he finds out Margaret is gone, too." "Old Edwin couldn't pester r.ie.' Ulckv leplled loyally. "But. olt boy, won't we do this town, though, while you girls are gone! Two little 1hj>s Horn School well be, two little boys from school.” He ►.-•or li* atroc ous parody flain boyaptly. with e sly Jflancs at me, which 1 pretended not to notice. ) am so familiar with the varying moods and tenses of my Peter Pan that I knew the prospect or my ah sence had mollified hla Irritability and that be was willing In childish par lanes to "kiss and make up.” But slower to anger than Dicky, I am sJso longer In regaining my good hu mor. and I had no inclination for a reconciliation, with the mysterlou accident and Dicky's sudden Interest In Mollle Fawcett's voice still unex plained. "That will tie very nice Harriet commented placidly, "and I think It will do Edwin a world of good." A Sample Party. "T don't know about that." her brother aaid mlachlevoualy, "but It will wake him up. I'll bet two cookie* with froatlng on 'em. I'll tell you what. We won't be atlngy. wa’ll give you girl* a trample party tonight. What time la Edwin going to get up?" "Five o'clock." Harriet returned la conically. "What'a the program then?" "Shower, cup of coffee, vialt to the hoapltal to aee Mr* Durkee, a walk dinner, another walk, reading and bed!" "Police! Alio the reserve*!" Dicky ejaculated. “What a program for a human be ing In thi* 20th century In little old New Tawk. We never can permit thl* In the world. I never could hold my head up on Broadway again.

She could not account for ' two low windows shadowed by esres t holding swallows- nests, a door in an unacctistom*d place, and a suite of ( Chippendale furniture which she did not remember. Then came a full awakening to an unfamiliar environ i ment. and, with it, that clarity of thought which is supposed to be a 1 perogative of the morning hours after a night of refreshing sleep. From five In the afternoon until midnight of the preceding day she had been using up nervous energy at a spendthrift rate. The call on her splendidly vital resources had cofhe, too. at a time when she had been compelled to endure a fortnight of that plarld martyrdom which so often seems to be woman's special lot in life. For one thing, she was not in love with Sir Arthur Pelham; for another, she wa» convinced that Sir Arthur Pelham was not In love with her. and a woman alone can de < Id* which of those negative states is the worse. She was bitterly aware that a well meaning and managing aunt had done everything possible to bring about the match, yet a much stranger side of the enigma lay in her pros pective husbands real or assumed indifference Every healthy-minded young woman give* heed to the pot slbillties of the wedded state, and It would. Indeed, be a grey old world if a girl's heart did not cherish the hope that love will prove the chief , tactor in matrimony. But Phyllis, who wa* puor. amt of independent spirit, could not help realising the manifest advantages of the marriage which had teen arranged In such a coldblooded way. Her baronet wa* young, good looking, well bred, even o-i hi» mothei * aide, and wealthy. He avoided the fast set In society, which is a canker In the nation* life. He ws* stud an* and reserved in manner To all appearance, he wa* eminently fitted to fill the va rious rank* In the magistracy, the county council and the quarter ses sions which make up the official round of the country gentleman * life. And he certainly might be described as an eltgibto bridegroom Such a man could have picked hi* bride In the high places Yet he had chosen Phyllis.

The dining room opened on to the lawn by two French windows, so sh' took that route, to find herself clasped in Pelham's arras the mo ment she had passed the door. Th' artful dog had waylaid her. “You darling!’’ he murmured, kiss ing her lips and eyes. “To think that we should actually be having break fast together!’’ n was not a highly poetic thought but—alas for the clear, well-defined plans of the waking hour:—they fled at the first touch of his hands, at the mere sound of his voice, "Yes, dear:" she sighed. '‘It Is nice.’” Another hug. a third may be, and they went to find the \Vooda. Pri deaux was on the phone juat aa they all entered the breakfast room, and he had given Somers a faithful record of what happened then. Nevertheless, Phyllis was genuine ly worried about her aunt, who. a! though only a relative by marriage being her father‘8 elater-ln law, the widow of a doctor in the North of England, was the girl’s sole domestV standby, still, there waa no gait! saying the fact that Mrs Linforth if made aware of Phyllis’ where about?, might upset the yard's oarefuliy laid plans, and it became more and more patent, with eaofc passing day, that the detectives had devoted themaelves unsparingly v me task or unravelling the web o! mystery which shrouded Cedar I,odg» arid its principal inmate* "You see," urged Pelham. “Mr Prideauv did not stipulate for a loot delay This evening, or tomorrow » the latest, he means to strike, and y. certainly should abide his time."
