Trying Theories
On Themselves
DR.. Anna l.. Brown, chairman Of
the programme committee, made q
statement as to the spirit and pur-
pose Of the conference last week:
when America entered the
war and men and boys were en-
listing in the Mmy and navy the
women of America voluntarily
enlisted themselves for service
that should contribute to the
success Of the aims of the
Allies. One of these aims, frank
ly stated by the government, was
to keep the men fit to fight. To this
end instruction was given in social
hygiene to men in the camps.
The social morality committee
of the War Wort. Council of the
National Board, Young Women's
Christian Association, contributed
to this effort indirectly through its
/ programme Of lectures on social
~ + AS ~ NOiIiCii dlIQ 2lIlS.
g As /, proof Of the sincerity Of
their belief in health ideals these
women physicians have volunta-
rily subjected themselves to COM
plete physical examination and
have made an honest attempt to
demonstrate in their own persons
the vitality of their ideas.
1T Is the hope of the pro-
gramme committee that the out
come of the coming conference
may be the formulation Of a plan
which when adapted to the condi-
tions Of the respective countries
represented shall unity the work
of women physicians in this
sphere of service throughout the
world"
The preliminary work for the
conference is going forward in New
York, and women physicians in all
parts OF the country have made 8
splendid response to the work ahead
of them.

Mary Potter, of New York.
Claims Kenyon Bill Will
Transfer Power From
Packers to Politicians
Place for Women's Votes
Housekeepers Must Train to
Take Leading Parts in
Nationwide Price Fight

DECLARING that some of the ma
- tional legislation aimed at high
food prices leads the way to car
dom in government departments.
Miss Mary Potter, of New York, in
an interview last week, urged women
voters of America to interest them
selves in the whole problem of the
high cost of living-and to find a
practical solution.
Miss Potter, who has been prac-
tising attorney in New York for
twenty years, is one of the founders
Of the Women's City Club of New
York. High prices are one of the
greatest menaces this country faces
at the present time, Miss Potter
said.
Many women vote now-all of US
will vote soon," she said, "and every
one of us can attempt to regulate
this high cost of living problem
through the ballot: AS the first in
telligent step in this direction, l be-
lieve in studying the provisions of
the different bills now before Con-
gress, and then trying to form an
intelligent opinion as to the effect of
legislation on the consumer.
Creating a
Food Car
"Take the Kenyon bill now before
Congress as a type of legislation
which is aimed, supposedly, at low
ering the cost of food. This bill will
probably keep prices as high as they
are now, and may even force them
higher. Every woman, every house
keeper, should study the provisions
Of this bill, as it affects her directly
and the market basket which she
seeks every day to keep we'll filled
for her family
"The bill seeks to put the control
of the distribution of meats into the
hands of political appointees. l be-
lieve that the evils set forth in the
recent Federal Trade Commission's
report cannot be met effectively in
this way. Under this bill power
would merely be transferred from
the hands of the packers to the
Secretary Of Agriculture, who Writ

The National Women's Trade
Union League will pay the reception
and entertainment expense of the
accredited representatives to the
women's congress during their stay
IN Washington. Details for the con-
sress have not been completed. The
local members of the union may be
asked to entertain the foreign guests
IN their homes, or the league may

Mary Anderson, the secretary Of

Two Ways Of
Presenting Ideas

While the congress will have no
authority to enforce it's findings or
resolutions, it may present these to
the International Labor Conference
Or it may get the ideas of women
IN industry before the mems meeting
by means of technical advisers at
tached to the international confer
ence, Provision has been made that
at least two of these technical ad-
visers shall be women, to give coun-
sci on the matters concerning
women and children in industry
Whatever theories and ideals NAV
be formulated in a definite pro-
gramme by the women themselves
can be translated to the men dele
gates by these technical advisers.
Underlying the whole fabric of
this move to put labor women of
the world in touch with one another
IS the fact that the International
Labor Conference will have the
power to recommend legislative
and other programmes to the gov
ernments represented in it's assem-
bly,. The women are desirous that
whatever they deem progressive and
fine in labor legislation shall have a
place in these recommendations
Women of the countries sending
delegates to the international Labor
Conference are endeavoring to
have one Of the governmental ap-
pointees chosen from the ranks of
women Each government may
name two representatives, in addi-
ron to the one accredited to Capt.
tai and the one to Labor.

ON EVE OF REVOLUTION,
SAYS EVANGELIST HOLMAN.

lone of the. fercest and most far
reaching controversies that has arisen
between man and man in this world is
seer in the conflict that is now being
waged between capitalists and labor
ing classes. 1t is evident that we are
on the eve of a mighty revolution"
said Evenagelist Holman in his lee
ture on capital and labor at the tent
this week. The tent vas well filled.
He said in part:
THE trouble is caused by the on
c%entration of the country's wealth in
the hands of a few, and the oppres-
sion of the laboring men in order to
increase the fortunes of a few, while
the working men form unions TO pro-
tect themselves against this greed and
oppression. In the fifth chapter of
James, God has clearly described this
struggle and the reasons for it.
Men now living can remember
when there were only a few million
aires in the land; but now there are
about ten thousand of them. James
says hat this is a sign that the last
days are upon US.
1.-The rapid increase of great wealth
among so few, represents the wages
Of the laboring men, that have been
kept back by fraud In James 5, God
tells us to be patient therefore breth-
rem. unit the coming OF the Lord"

be: THE Rise and Work of the Pa
pacy."
