FAMOUS HYG|EN|ST. 95, IN CITY, SAYS NJ
 IDEALS IN AMERICA

Chrging Americans with being long on Commercoialism and short on edu- cation, Dr. Charlotte de Golliere Da- venport, world famous hygienist, de- clares Americans entirely lacking in ideals.
 Ninety-five years old and yet re- markedly active, Dr. Davenport in her apartments in a downtown hotel yes terday discussed Americas sins.
 All the faults can be traced to the fundamental wrong-the lack of edu- cation-and the pitiful part of it is that Americans will not take the time to be educated, according to Dr. Davenport, graduate of the University of Vienna. Despite the fact that she is the moth CT of men," having had eighteen sons, pr. Davenport has continued the edu- cation which began when she was a girl in Russia, close to a century ago.
 America has no ideals, and the ideals she claims are merely pretend ed," she said "Take, for example, the generosity shown Europe. In my opin- ion that was merely Americas way Of attempting to impress the foreign na- tions with her vast interests" The love of the mediocre is another of Americas shortcomings, and her 1 peoples prejudice, too, came in for criticism of Dr. Davenport, who found l this prejudice marked in Californias attitude toward the Japanese.
 '.As long as there is prejudice in the soul against race, religion or individ- uals there is no education. This is em- phasized in California with the yellow race And why? Commercialism. Ii the Americans worked as hard as the Japanese they would have the results get the businesss in word. Sur vival of the fittest, l say"
 "The whole trouble lies with the fact that the Americars will not concen- trate. They demand big things in the 1 beginning, and if immediate success is not certain they drop what they art 1 attempting and take up something else
 "They lack character; most people do," said Dr. Davenport, who finds thi: true, too, in the stick-to-it-ness' nee essary in the matter of physical train ing in which American women ar' lacking.
 "There is no physical culture il America, only physical training" sh'
Arizona republican., 1920-11-24

asserted, and she can speak from an experience of forty years in New York where she conducted a school of hy- l giene, with leaders of Americas smart set as her followers.
 One of the first families a quarter of century ago married the hygienist who was then the widow of Marquis de Golliere of France. Mir. Davenport is almost thirty five years the junior of his wife, and yet, she says, they "aodre each other.'
 ''I did not marry for sex; l married for companionship," said the wife of young Davenport of Virginia. AL though her husband is many years younger than her sons, she considers the match ideal and speaks of the wonderful hours they have together.
 Women make men The way to hold their affections is to be firm al ways and treat them as you would treat a child. Above all things, teach a husband happiness"
 Another one of Dr. Davenport's rules is to be always kind and polite and continue the little courtesies always.
 Apply yourself every minute. l have no time for other peoples busi- ness because have so much to make out of my own life. Thought, act, habit, character. destiny, and you have life
 The vigorously the somewhat prev alent notion that gray hair makes age. For with all her nfnety-five years spent in globe trotting, and in work, Dr. Da- venport is still young.
 The fountain of youth is right liv- ing, and Dr. Davenport declares she never has taken a pill in her life. AL though she holds a degree and has been a practicing physician. she prescribes hygene rather than medicine. She was offered the position of physical direc- tor of the University of California, but i this she declined, as she wishes to be | free to carry on as she chooses. 1 She is up in the morning at o'clock and takes her walk and her exercises. | She has charm and health. and they have come to her through her own eff forts. She fences regularly each day, at one time having a school for fencing ] in Paris.
 t'The French never say a woman is beautiful if she does not know how to walk I have seen many pretty faces in America, many handsome frocks, but grace-it is lacking here"
 Dr. Davenport made a brief talk at
 the Woman's club yesterday after noon, and this evening she will give a free lecture at the school administra- ton building on Mental and Physical
 Training"

 Police were also working on clues yesterday which might lead to the cap ture of two holdup men who robbed w. A. McCloughlin, Photnix hotel, of s165 and a watch last Monday night. Ac- cording to the report given the police the robbers were masked and staged their holdun in the dark shadow of the trees on Adams street at Sixth avenue so that the victim was unable to de- termine whether his assailants were white, Mexicans or negroes.

With this in view she planned to take special work in California. Dur ing the war she was one of the most active workers in the Red Cross and was prominent in all the war drives. | Mir. Hampton, who is rated as one of the wealthiest men in the state, has been in the public eye for many years. He formerly lived in Greenlea county | which he represented in the state legis- lature for a number of terms. He has been mentioned numerous times as a candidate for governor, but has given up political life to devote his entire time to his extensive law practice. | "a .

program.
It is one of the most comprehensive
programs ever brought forward in the
state and includes activity along twelve
different lines.

leadership in the production of live
stock Of every kind" declares Walter

of the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association. eff we are to continue to

out-of- the-state buyers" declares w. L.
Baird of Waukesha county and a lead
er in the dairy cattle industry. "We
must realize as never before that
satisfied customer is our greatest asset
as business farmers. We must forge
ahead in 1920"
Here is the program which has been
submitted for statewide adoption:
Discard Back Numbers.
"That Wisconsin community breed
ers' associations appeal to the breed
ers of their respective counties to dis
card from their herds all animals I'M
desirable from the standpoint of type,
health or production, and fill their
places with animals of known superior
breeding and individuality.
"That the county associations be
strengthened both In number of mem
bers and in finances with which to
carry on needed work. IC is highly
important that these organizations be
made as strong as possible in order
that they may have the geatest inf1u-
ence for live stock improvement.
Meet High Cost of Production.
"That members study most carefully

years has been carried on by the
state board Of immigration, the college
Of agriculture and the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders association in calling
to the attention Of prospective settlers
the opportunities which this state Of
fers in live stock production. We
would be lax in our duty if we did not
call to the attention Of the members
of breeders associations the Oppor-
tunity for developing a local market
for stock among these new settlers
and if we did not point out the neces-
sfty for square dealing with these po-
tential stockmen. These settlers are
destined to become substantial citizens
of our state.
"That community breeders associa-
lions continue to give all the support
possible to the better sire campaign
along discriminating and constructive
lines. We urge the use of only good
purebred sires and the immediate re-
lection of such males as will lower the
production of our herds and which in
