New York to Act


New York, Dec. 27.-John II. Sum
ner, Anthony Comstock' S successor as
the vice consul Of New York City to-
day has the medical society's word for
it and is expected soon TO brand birth
control as vice upon which relentless
war shall be declared.
Not until he read today's report Of
the medical society's stormy meeting
at which the final vote stood q for
and 2l0 against birth CONTROL was
Sumner ready to decide whether the
practice is vice or virtue.
Only two of the nine men who have
been investigating the question for six
months reported in favor of state
law permitting doctors to advise mar
ried patients on birth control methods
Chairman Dr. Abraham Jacobs, watch
ed the battle from the chair but de-
clined to vote.
DR.. Ira r. Vile, who, with DR.. S
A. Tannenbaum, submitted the minor
ity favorable report, jumped TO his
feet and yelled:
"This society contains members who
perform Illegal operations which il
far worse than giving advice on brit
regulation and yet they retain theii
membership.
A storm of Kisses greeted this out
burst hut Dr. Vile pushed his fis
in the air and stood his ground.

New York, Dec. 27.-Woodrow Viii
son will be president for four years
more by virtue of popular plurality
over Charles Evans Hughes of 51s,l47
votes out Of total of 18,110,777 cast
ON November for the two major politi-
cal parties. This total does not include
votes for the socialist, prohibition or
socialist labor candidates.
The figures, as assembled today by
the United Press, are based in ma
iority of cases on the official counts of
the states as certified to by the eleetor-
al college.
They show that Wilson received g.
3l4, ,462 votes, against S,796,3l5 for
Hughes
-Four years ago the democratic candi-
date (Wilson) polled 6,293,Ol9 votes.
The democratic candidates total this
wear was an increase of 48 per cent
over these figures.
Similarly. the republican nominee
(Taft) in 1912 polled 3,4S4,956 votes.
Hughes total in 1916 was an increase
of about 152 per cent. The total vote
east for the two major parties was f.
2l2.295 more than that cast in 1912
for the then three major political par
ties. In other words, there was an in
crease in 1916 of more than 30 per cent
in the total vote east.
There is no way, on the basis Of the
Figures themselves, to ascertain wna'
became of the 4,l99,50 progressive
votes registered for Roosevelt fom
years ago.
Figures for the-nation wide on the SO
eialist and prohibition tickets are as yei
incomplete, but il is estimated that Al
Ian Benson, Socialist, received aboui
75i, OOO-nearly 100000 less than th'
socialist ticket polled in 1912; and TN tn
prohibitionist candidate Hanly, 225, 200
or about 1899 more than the sam'
ticket received four years ago.

Great Increase OUer 1912

the Wilson Hughes total being 143
per cent in excess of that she gave Will
son, Roosevelt and Taft four years ago.
Illinois jumped her total 101 per cent
due to this year being the first time the
women of the Sucker state have voted.
The western states, without exception,
showed an increase in vote. Oregon
jumped 106 per cent; Utah "a per cent ;
Kansas, IS per cent.
California which lost the election for
Hughes was another western state
showing a startling increase in the to-
tai vote. Four years ago the state
went to Roosevelt and the total vote for
the three candidates was 570,960. This
year Wilson and Hughes together polled
92S,s05 yotes-an increase of 81 pei
cent.
North Dakota was another state
which increased its voting population il
the four years past by 81 per cent.
New York had the biggest vote in hel
history-an per cent increase ovel
1912.
Ohio 5 turn to Wilson was accomplish
ed in vote 20 per cent greater than ii

q The Business Woman :
RY REATRICE FAIRFAx.


nHE business world is a brand
new place for a woman and
- she has not quite adjusted her
self to it yet She is an alien crea-
ture in the world Of men and she has
to steer a careful course between the
cliff Of being Over-masculine and the
pi ecipice Of being over-feminine!
The two biggest "don'ts" for the
business women are rather contra
dictory affairs But they can easily
be reconciled by steering a neat and
efficient middle course. First let us
define our don'ts and then we can
easily enough figure out that middle
course.
Don't, is you value your own wom-
anhoOd, permit yourself to become a
hard, aggressive. pushing person who
carries business methods into social
life. You don't have to be any of these
-hlngs in business in order to succeed
Hard aGgressiveness is alien to all
the normal characteristics Of a real
woman s nature. Woman in business
is still woman. She thinks and acts
and works with the attributes of a ma
lure that is not male or masculine in
any OF its normal qualities.
me cleverest and most successful
business woman I know Is the very
successful mother of three wonderful
children. on Sundays and half holidays
she finds her greatest JOY in sewing
on frilly feminine things and in con-
cOcting dainty feminine dishes.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash Il with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkalL This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is
very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoauut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply molsten your hair with water
and rub IL in. One or TWO teaspOonfuls
Will make an abundance OF rich,
creamy iather. and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive OIL The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and II leaves IT fine and
silky. bright fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces Is enough TO
last everyone In the family for months.

In other words, you have to think

YOU do not have to force on men the
consciousness that you are sex crea-
