Der Of Passengers 10 Europe.

New York, Feb. 1.-Five thousand
passengers sailed for Europe today
on three steamships, forming the
largest civilian exodus from New
York in one day since the United
States entered the war.
The French steamship Rocham-
beau. bound for Havre carried 1.50O
passengers, and the French steam
ship Chicago sailed for Bordeaux
with 1900 on board. The Italian
steamer Giuseppe Verdi left for Gc-
noa. Italy, with 1850 passengers.
Since the signing of the armistice
the State Department Passport Bu-

applications for permits to go over
seas. The steamship companies
have been unable to accommodate
the large number of persons clam
oring to go abroad.

Socially, Jackson allowed Dr.
Dumas to extract the bullet and
laughingly said that he would save
IT for a watch charm.
The explanation that Jackson gave
for his wound was that he had been
to a hop" in Georgetown the night
before and that everybody had been
drunk. In the melee that followed
Jackson alleged that he had been
shot.
DIR. Dumas said that this was not
usual occurrence so that at the
time he considered the story of his
patient a fabrication. but that he
did not connect him with the night
marauder, because the testimony of
the girls who had been attacked
proclaimed the assailant a white
man.
Jackson came back tho next daY,
limping in a decided manner. He
stated that Jackson did not return
for treatment after the second day.

been treating the man for q chronic
trouble for six weeks. Q
DR.. Dumas nurse affirms the fact
that Jackson has been in the neigh
borhood constantly. She stated that
she had met him at the corner of
Eighteenth and l. streets several
times and that he had tried to learn
where she lived.

Jackson as of depraVed character. He
said he had known the Jackson fam

She finally admitted that he was her
son, but stated that she had seen lit
tie of him for the last four years and
but once or twice since his return to
Washington from Fort Leavenworth
penitentiary six weeks ago.
He always was hard-hearted," Mrs.
Jackson said over and over again
"He was the youngest child. His
father died when he was a child and
his grandmother practically raised
him

never would take her; advice.
HE knew I didn't approve of his

Mrs. Jackson seemed deeply affected
about the crime and said she could

How Much Must We Eat =?

The latest study of the progress OF
people shows that the big question
is how much and in what variety
must we eat
The answer involves knowledge
of food value and balanced rations,
for one may eat to repletion and yet
be undernourished, if the proper
kinds of food in correct proportions
are not included in the diet.
If our appetite has never been per-
verted it would be a safe guide to
follow. But, unfortunately, this is
not the case; therefore, the food ex-
perts have given us the benefit of
their experiments and studies to en-
able us to plan balanced rations.
We must have enough protein to
build and repair tissue, and. about
four times as much of all the other
food elements taken together.
The amount of food needed depends
upon several factors: Age, sex, weight
and figure, the amount of work and
the climate.
Enough food of the proper kind
to give bodily heat, provide for
growth and repair of tissue, and to
furnish energy for the work to be
done is necessary. Too much food
is detrimental to the body, as well
as tasteful.
During the period of growth the
protein foods, or meats, milk, eggs
and fish must be supplied abundant
ly and since the balance must be
maintained it follows that the grow
ing person needs a plentiful supply
of food-the more rapid the growth
the more food he should have, other
things being equal
When we cease to grow we need
less food, only enough protein foods
to repair tissues and the others in
quantity to keep the proper balance.
Few adults follow this rule.
We form our habits before we are
%, and habits of eating are no ex-
ception. When we cease to grow
we should gradually reduce amount
of food taken If we followed this
plan we would be healthier, hap
pier and longer-lived race. 1t is a
reflection upon our intelligence that
so many of us overeat, storing UP
fatty tissue until is becomes burden
and we must take means to reduce"
The food which is wasted through
overeating would, if saved, feed
many children who are now under
nourished.

The Triumph of Woman Suffrag>

In neither branch of Congress was
the vote on the resolution proposing
an amendment to the Constitution to
confer suffrage on women sectional
or partisan. Representatives of both
parties in the House and the Senate
voter for, and members of both par
ties voted against, the resolution.
1t has been contended that the adj
vocates of votes for women had never
been able to win support from South
ern Democrats, but an analysis of the
Senate vote shows that Senators from
seven of the thirteen Southern States,
including Kentucky and Oklahoma,
were among those supporting the
resolution.
Both Senators from each of three
Southern States-Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and Texas-voted in the affirma-
tive. The Democratic South's record
on the resolution compares favorably
with that of Republican New Eng
land. The Republican leader in the
Senate, Lodge of Massachusetts,, OPP
posed the resolution. Tho Democrat
Senator from New England, Gerry of
voted aye. The other Democratic

Senator fro New England, Gerry of
Rhode Island, was paired for the
resolution. Both Maine Senators,
Republicans, voted for the resolution,
and in New Hampshire and Vermont,
the Republican Senators were fifty
fifty" Both Connecticut Senators,
Republicans, voted mo"
While the vote by which the reso-
luton was passed was neither sec
tional nor partisan, nevertheless it's
success at this time is attributed by
women to the leadership of President
Wilson, Democrat. Thinking men
women have known for forty years
that suffrage would eventually be
extended to women. But a/half-
dozen years ago the causes triumph
seemed yet long way off.
The fight now goes to the State Leg
islatures. At it's recent meeting in
Chicago, the Democratic National
Committee adopted a resolution urg-
ing that the State Legislatures be
called together in extra session to
act on the resolution that its ratifi-
cation may be accomplished in time
for women of all States to vote in
the 1920 Presidential election.
