The medical term that describes
this condition OF turning or whirl-
ing is vertigo, which means in simple
language ito turn" There are two
kinds Of dizziness--one where the OBJ
Jects about us seem to be turning
round and round. and the other where
the person who is dizzy seems to HIM
self to be turning round and round.
One cause of this is due to the
fact that, when you are dizzy the
eyes are not in complete control OF
the brain, and the eyes moving In
dependently of each other look In
different directions and produce this
turning effect on the brain. since each
eye then sends a different impression
to the brain instantly
The principle cause Of the sense
of dizziness is, however. the little or

March of the Women,
Sung at Washington

Washington, ID. c., May 9.-The
words of the song, March of the
Women" which was sung by the suf-
frage paraders at Washington today,
and which had been heard in this coun-
try only once before, are:
Shout. shout, up with your song.
Cry with the wind, for the dawn is
breaking;
March. march. swing you along,
Wide blows our banner, and hope is
waking.
Song with its story, dreams with their
glory.
10. they call. and glad is their word,
Louder and louder IL swells,
Thunder and freedom, the voice of
the Lord.
Long. long-we in the past
Covered in dread from the light of
heaven,
Strong, strong-stand we at last,
Fearless in faith and with sight new
given
Strength with its beauty, life with its
duty.
(Hear the voice, oh hear and obey
These. these-beckon us on;
Open your eyes to the blaze of day
"Comrades-ye who have dared
First in the battle to strive and sor-
row,
Scorned. spurned-naught have ye
cared,
Raising your eyes to wider NOR
row.
Ways that are weary. days that are
dreary,
Toll and pain by faith ye have
borne;
Hail, hail-victors ye stand.
Wearing the wreath that the brave
have worn.
Life, strife-these two are one.
Naught can ye win but by faith and
daring,
On. on-that ye have done
But for the work of today prepar-
ing.
Firm in reliance, laugh a defiance,
CLaugh in hope. for sure is the end)
March, march-many as one.
Shoulder to shoulder and friend to
friend"
