Arguments have been advanced

tinued. at has been said that
women are too new in politics to
put over their ideas, and that the
men manipulate things to suit them
selves.
'This may be true in some few
instances, where the women serv-
ing on committees have had no
training in club life, where they
are placed in positions because they
are the relatives of men with inhu-
ence, rather than for the reason
that they are fitted for the role they
are to play. But it is hard to I'M

have been trained in club life or
brought up in suffrage circles, who

lealing with people, to thinking
out arguments to their logical con-
clusion, to fighting for ideals, will
DC hoodwinked by anybody.
Because l so thoroughly believe
in the cooperation OF the sexes in
politics | am continually urging
women to enroll in the parties and
tc work for them. Let women en-
ter the parties and work from with
in to reform them if they think
there is need of reform. Women,
like men, who do not stand aside
and idly criticise, but who roll up
their sleeves and work, are to-day
the most useful citizens and the
best patriots"

Chicago, according to members o.
the National League on Urban Con
dltlons Among Negroes, with head
quarters in this city.
THE Chicago colored woman, il,
her desire to obtain a decent place
to live, has doubtless contributed
lnnocently enough to the much adj
vertised Chicago race riots of the
last few weeks" said Mrs. Lillian
II. Turner last week. Mrs. Turner
is a colored woman, a graduate of
the University of Minnesota and
assistant to the executive secre-
tary of the Urban League.
ut is the colored woman, the
homemaker, who has sought bet
ter neighborhoods in which to live.
and who, obtaining these, has been
lnnocently and indirectly one of the
causes of the bomb throwing law
lessness which IN many eases pre-
coded the riots. 1t is my under
standing that these residents were
not part of the mob. Still, it is
true that the treatment and lack
of protection given them inflamed
those among them who felt the mob
spirit.
Housing conditions have been
particularly acute among negroes
because of their migration from
the South to the North and their
change from a domestic to an in
dustrial life.
"Particular efforts have been
made to meet the needs of the
colored woman worker, so new to
industry, for to her the change has
been most radical. The National
Urban League has devoted itself to
this problem, which it has met to a
degree through its various branches.
To protect themselves against the
results of overcrowding, the Urban
League volunteers in Chicago and
other cities, composed of groups OF
women, form block organizations,
with home visitors, who give aid
through talks on health, sanitation.

Peach Crop
An S. O. S. From Or.
chardists in Maryland
Is Answered
TIME Woman's Land Army of
America is at it's busiest an

swering calls for help in get
ting in the peach crop. A unit of
seventy-five Land Army girls was
sent to Maryland last week. The
rush of the peach harvest there is
difficult to meet every year, accord
ing to report. And last year the
shortage of men laborers made it
necessary for the farmers to bail
prisoners out of Jail to get in the
crop. Maryland prisoners are used
to work the roads of the state, and
the same system was applied to
their doing farm work that was
used for their employment on the
roads.
This year, however, with the
shortage of hired men and boys, the
Maryland farmers sent an S. O. S.
call to the Woman's Land Army
headquarters in New York for girls
to save the peach crop.
Another unit of twelve land girls
will be sent to a farm near New
port this week for general farm
and orchard work during the
month of August. Ten others will
leave soon for orchard work in
Englishtown, Penn.
A campaign for girls to help in
the September and October har-
vests is being started by the Land
Army. Corn-cutting time and
pumpkin-picking days are likely to
find the Land Army units dwindled
to only a few members, for most of
the land girls are also office girls
or schoolgirls and school or work
will call them back to town in Sep
TENDER just when they are needed
most.
Workers in thes Woman's Land
Army have done some of their
most important work in gathering
the fruit crops. That one line and
the way in which they handled it
was enough to convince the skepti-
cal farmer of their worth, accord
ing to headquarters accounts. This
year there have been great demands
for women to do orchard work. The
farmers say that the women work
ers are swifter and handle the fruit
with greater skill and less injury to
the crop than the men did. 1t has
been almost impossible to supply
the number of land girls wanted
for orchard work.
