delivered before his medical colleagues
in Vienna just a century and a quar-

but settled in Vienna in 1871 and began
the practice of medicine in the Aus

had been interested in studying the
craniums of his companions, and many
observations and much study convinced
him that the talents and dispositions of

theory he elaborated in many lectures.

many adherents in the scientific world.

Miss Rankin is a very feminine
woman" one Young woman who had
known her here and who is now re-

said. "She dances well and makes her
own hats, and sews, and has won genu-
inc fame among her friends with the
wonderful lemon meringue pie that she
makes when she hasn't enough other
things to do to keep her busy.
"She is the sort of girl who won't
stop until she has got the results she
is after, and it will be lots of fun to
see her in her first fight in congress.
Among the things which Miss Ran
kin has announced that she will fight
for in congress is extension Of the
child labor laws-she intends to rep
resent children as well as women in
congress-nationa woman suffrage,
mothers pensions, universal compul-

Missoula, NIont.-Jeanette Rankin
the first congresswoman, is thirty-hVe
years of age and makes her own hats'
She is more interested in children
than in anything else in the world
with the possible exception Of votes
for women.
She is about five feet four inches
in height, slender with light brown
hair-not red, her friends insist-and
has an unusual store of energy. She
is the daughter Of one OF the pest
known of the Montana pioneers who
went west when the state was so
sparsely settled that it resembled
wilderness, and she and her three SIS
ters have learned to trough IT IN the
big western state. She was graduated
at the University of Montana, became
an ardent suffragist while girl ana
went to Seattle to study voice culture
and then came to New York city to
take a course at the School OF Phllan-
thropy in that city.
Ardent Suffrage Worker.
Miss Rankin was among the early
and most ardent workers for suffrage
in the West before any states had
granted women the vote, it was said
and fought actively for amendments
in Washington and California. In
these campaigns, it is said, she went
into mines and to farms to argue per-
sonally with men and women to in
duce them to fight for suffrage. she
obtained a place as a field secretary
of the National American Woman Sut-
frage association after leaving New
York city and went to Florida to es-
tablish suffrage organizations there.
She is credited with having done
more, perhaps, than any other woman
in the state to obtain suffrage for the
women of Montana. Then after
hard fight she was nominated for con-
gress by an overwhelming vote in the
primaries, and election day, it Is re-
ported, she had TO fight some OF the
Old Guard Republican leaders in her
own state as well as the Democrats.
