and she returned with n constructive
idea to give to her home city. She IL
today consider one of the best In
formed in the country on the sub
feet of garbage. She is of the
opinion that moderation is the best
method for the dispose. of garbage.
In her talk Miss Mcdowell impressed
upon her hearers the Importance OF
looking after all parts OF the city. of
the necessity of cultivating Zeal beauty
in every thing that can be shared by
all alike, for ugliness breeds brutal
ity. There are two laws from which
to choose: the law OF the garden.
which is constructive. which means
growth, beauty, culture, love; and the
law of the jungle, which means des-
truction, fighting, bitterness, ugliness.
A culture should be cultivated that is
big enough to embrace all people. I'VE
have such a queer idea of culture"
she sair, when we have money,
pictures, books, have had a little trip
abroad, we call that culture when all
around us is misery, vice, suffering,
poverty which is our power to allie
viate. Culture that overlooks these
opportunities is nothing but selfish
ness"
The power of the ballot, she said,
has given to the women of Illinois a
tremendous chance. 1t is the big key
to open all doors; it gives the women
chance il they but take it, to get
out of their pettiness into things OF
quality. 1t is the place of women to
insist that municipal affairs be d.
vorced once and for all from politics.
1t is their duty to clean up their city,
their duty not to be afraid, not to be
rash or impulsive or imprudent. They
must not try to have a woman's party
but must consult with the men and
get their opinion and viewpoint and
then do what they believe is right.
Miss Mcdowell is an easy, attractive
speaker with a straightforwardness
that impresses one with her great ear
nestness. She is wholesouled, alive to
her theme and thoroughly familiar
with every phase of the work in which
she is engaged. She has a most at
tractive way of putting things and all
combine to make her address most

SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF
FOOD VALUES Is NECESSARY
|, eat for efficiency

1t is impossible to. decide intelli-
gently how the money available for
food should be spent and distributed
among different food materials with
out understanding something of the
composition of these materials and
what particular function they have in
our bodies.
Experience has taught us many
things but the accommodating of ex-
perience is only worth while when in
terpreted by definite knowledge. 1t
counts for nothing of it means the
same over and over again. We GER
tainly grow by mistakes and expert
ence but not by the same kind re-
peatedly.
Until lately we thought house
keeper could not even be told the
exact scientific use of a teaspoonful
of baking soda in relation to pint
of sour milk. But not so now. Much
progress has been made in the last
few years with clear, definite infor-
nation about food and food values
for the housekeeper, but I am sorry
to say she has often been a little
slow in availing herself of the knowl-
edge she needs.
Much has to be overcome in the
feeling. that mothers and grand
mothers did this or that and it is
good enough for US; again much of
the necessary information for them is
still locked up in technical terms and
the ordinary housekeeper. even though
she be well educated in all else she
does in her home has not the time to
devote to the study of it and get the

BRIDE IN FLIGHT
To ESCAPE FATE
Girl for Whom Billy Rugh Died
Obsessed With Fear of
Pursuit of Hoodoo.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 19.-Ethel Smith,
the girl for whom Billy Rugh. crippled
newsboy gave up his life is fleeing
westward from Chicago.
Time. place, reason-an are I'M
counted and unconsidered. In the
mind OF the girl there is but one
thought, an obsession that wipes out
everything else.
To break with the past. TO start life
anew with new associations and new
friends is the girls one dream. And
behind the dream-in fact, the cause
of it's an idea
To escape her "hoodoo" is the mo-
tive behind the girls strange flight
With her on her journey across the
continent is her husband of one week,
Leon Cline. With the news of her
marriage TO Mr.. Cline in Chicago a
week ago the first premonition of her
new resolution came to her friends.
At first they were shocked. Then
they understood. Why had Ethel
Smith failed to marry the sutton
whose name had circled the world
with hers-Roy Roberts. the man with
whom she was riding on a motorcycle
when the first tragedy crept into her
life. two years ago?
Roberts was Miss Smiths compan-
ion on a motorcycle jaunt which was
brought to a tragic termination when
the gasoline tank exploded, frightfully
burning the girl. For a week she lay
in a hospital at Gary close to death.
Surgeons announced that but one
thing could save her life-the graft
ing of 100 square inches of skin.
Then il was that Rugh made the sac
rifice for which he will never be for
gotten a crippled newsboy in the
streets of Gary. he volunteered to fur
nish the skin necessary for the girls
recovery. The operation was per-
formed. The skin taken from his
twisted leg necessitateI the amputa-
ton OF the limb.
The story that followed is known
around the world. Rugh died. Thou
sands of persons attended the funeral.
For one day Gary paused to pay trib-
ute TO his heroism. Funds were start
ed for the erection of a memorial. But
the world that had opened its heart
refused it's pocketbook. The project
for a memorial failed.
The girls improvement was slow.
More skin was necessary and more
appeared TO supply it. The
girl was reported improved and was
later removed to her home. Then
pneumonia set in and she was taken
back to the hospital. A few days
afterward another cot was placed be-
side that of the girl. On it was placed
her brother. He had lost an arm in /
a hunting accident
Through IL all, Roy Roberts her
fingered by the sick bed OF |
the girl.
That is why Miss Smiths friends |
wondered why she had not become |
Mrs. Roberts. Then they remembered |
the chain of tragedy which had linked /
Itself about the life OF the girl. They
heard Miss Smith express her fer OF /
he "hoodoo." Then they understood.
