WIDE INTERESTS
Hears a Journey in Diplomacy
and of Important Matters
Throughout This City

Harrisburg Civic Club was held In the
clubhouse yesterday afternoon, the
president, Mrs. William Henderson,
presiding. Following routine business
and reports from the various commit
tees, Mrs. Evelyn Blnz, of the State
Agricultural Bureau, gave a short talk
upon the need of organization and co
operation among the women in the
country districts. She urged the di
rect purchase of food products from
the farmer, delivery'by parcel post,
thus materially reducing the high cost
of living. Mrs. Binz's description of
the point of view of some rural women
toward a woman public speaker was
both humorous and pitiful.
Cyrus E. Woods, Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, gave
a most Interesting account of his re
ception into the diplomatic life of
Portugal, as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of the United
States. Although a republic, the little
country still retained much of the
extreme form and ceremony due to
royalty and the mystery and intrigue
so characteristic of the Portugese
nature was the cause of much amuse
ment to the outspoken American.
Mr. Woods paid especial tribute to
the bravery and strength of character
of King Alphonso of Spain, whose
country he frequently visited during
his stay in Portugal.
Mrs. James I. Chamberlin called at
tention to the proposed exhibit of
