From Ruddy Blond
To Pale Gray

MISS Adams seemed altogether
unconscious of the things that nave
been said condemning her lenient at
titude toward Germany since tbs
armistice. Her manner was serene
toward Germany as toward the
other countries where she found
work to do. That is the Jane
Adams of it. However, she told in
stances which were pointed to jus
tification of her policy toward suf-
ferers in Germany.

by the grayish palor which had

so characteristic of those blond

there that the people spoke with

'Probation officers Of the juvenile
court Of Berlin continued Miss
-Addams, told Is OF the increased
criminality among boys and girls.
Thefrs Of food. Justification about
bread cards and housebreaking were
common among the children"
The report brought back by Miss
Adams and her co-worker in Ger
many, Alice Hamilton. is simple and
horrifying in its details as to the
condition of German children. They
close it with a few generaitu@s
about the German people after the
armistice.
Many times we were ;nterrogated
about the war. We were asked in
perfect good faith: Why does the
whole world feel justified in hating
Us" And it was easy to repeat 10
them the we'll known charges, but to
them the invasion of Belgium had
been reported as military neces-
sity in q righteous war of self
defence"

not salarled woman. Her earnings
are in the form of fees for services
as lawyer, as communal adviser to
Felix Warburg, chairman of the
Federated Jewish Institutions. and
as certified public accountant. Miss
Lowenstcin was the first woman TO
hold the latter position. She is a
pianist and violinist of talent and
an expert cook as well, and does
not scorn washing Dishes"
With all her keen intellectual
abilities, and her extraordinary sue
cess in a mans world, Miss Lowen-
stein IS essentially woman. She
is efficient and powerful in her work,
but is essentially feminine. She has
a tireless mind that is calm and un-
aggressive in quality and human in
sympathy.
To Miss Lowenstein, who rises
every morning at 90, so that she
can plan her household work, do lit
tie cooking and market before

telligence on matters financial, social
and legal for eight or ten or twelve
hours following, there is no "won

What problem is there" she
asks. There is no reason in the
world why woman should not take
care of her household and engage in
outside work at the same time.
And as for professional prob

lacking entirely. Men have been
extraordinarily kind to NE, think
They have not been jealous of my
entry into a field which was theirs.

Miss Lowenstein, after gradua-

Fairgrounds Of New York. She
took a special examination and
was appointed supervisor Of play

was at the age of nineteen. Later,
she studied law at night and is now

~. C.. T. U. Supports
Sweet for Assembly
Prohibition Record Oui,ceighs
the Blocking Of Women's
Welfare Measure Bills

DR. ELLA A. BOOLE, presi-
~ dent of the New York State
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, probably the largest body Of
women in this state organized for
social and reform work, announced
yesterday that she supports the can
didacy Of Speaker Thaddeus c.
Sweet for reelection to the Assembly
even though his opponent is a
woman.
DR.. Boole bases her position or
the fact that the prohibition issue
in this state requires further legis-
lation.
Mr. Sweet worked hard to sup
port ratification last winter" DR..
Boole said yesterday. "He is III
favor of the strict enforcement Of
the Eighteenth Amendment. His op-
ponent, Miss Dickerman, is the can
didate of the Democratic party, and
as such will be supported by the
vets in Oswego County, who arc
determined to defeat Mr.. Sweet. the
Republican candidate, because Of his
attitude on prohibition.
Although am in general SYM
pathy with the welfare bills pro-
noted by the Women's Joint Legis-
lative Conference, which is opposing
Mr.. Sweets reelection because Of
his attitude on their bills, | insist
shat prohibition ranks first in i'm
portance, because it means protec-
ton to that large body of unor-
ganzed women in the home.
"The welfare bills will be passed
when a campaign of education makes
the demand strong enough.
1T took forty-five years of educa-
ton to win prohibition. Women
voters will bring protection to or
gained women in less time. The
prohibition movement needs men
who are leaders, and are not afraid
to be counted"
DR.. Boole takes this attitude of
supporting men who supported pro-
hibition in every county in the state,
because she believes that women
should stand by the Legislators who
stood by them.

Extension Of
Friends Work

Miss Adams returned to this
country only a few weeks ago from
Europe, where she was sent on in
vestigation and relief work by the
Society of Friends.
The Friends War Victims Relief
Committee had four English men,
bers and three Americans. For
three years the society has been
doing relief work in Europe, be-
ginning with the devastated regions
in France, and extending their min
istrations to Poland, and later to
Rumania and the countries of South
ern Europe after the arrnlstice was
signed. Finally the committee went
into Germany.
All the children of Europe
have suffered and many Of them are
still suffering from lack Of food"
said Miss Adams: the evils of
malnutritisn are perceptible among
them all. We realized that our part
was very small compared With what
the English Friends had been doing
IN Germany since the armistice.'

Taking the ''Woman''
Out of Woman Suffrage
City Club Retutes Anti
Prohibition Charge

ITO PREVENT misunder-
Il standing, the board Of di-
rectors Of the Women's City Club
has issued the following state
ment:
ga year and half ago, long
before prohibition was a national
law, a regulation was posted on
the bulletin board, which allowed
q member to have wine in lock-
er, to be served on special occa-
sions.
"The circulation Of an utterly
misleading story in a New York
newspaper made it appear that
the club was preparing to evade
the law.
"The club Is giving no storage
space for wine or other intoxicat-
ing beverages. No liquor is stored
on the premises, and the club has
observed, and intends to observe.
the wartime and national prohi-
bltion laws, even beyond the let
ter.
Among our membership of
more than 5000 women there
was diversity of opinion before
prohibition went into effect. but
there is now no conflict of opinion
as to where the Women's City
Club stands on the subject of the
enforcement of the prohibition
law"

California fruit comes in nearly

sents the last word in organization.

At the Pennsylvania piers a tall,
soldierly man stood alone in the
midst of an army of potato barrels.
He said he had stood there pretty
regularly for thirty years. He had
500 barrels Of sweet potatoes to sell
at two cents a pound. On COMPARE
son it was found that the women in
the party were paying from 5 to Is
cents pound for sweet potatoes,
