LAUGHTER OF CHILD
SCARCE IN POLAND

"In all the time I was in Poland, /
scarcely once saw a child laugh"
declared DR. Harry Plotz, dlscoverer of
the typhus bacillus, In a report to
the European Relief Council on med
ical conditions among the Jewish popu-
Iation of Poland, based on his recent
Investigations there for the Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee.
1.-THE most depIorable sight Of all
the miseries in Poland Is the condi-
ton of the children" DR.. Plotz said.
Infant mortality is exceedingly high
because of under-nourishment and the
high percentage Of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
/ saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to go, begging for bread"
tuberculosis has become prevalent
among the Jewish children, largely
due to the overcrowded conditions in
which they are forced to live, their
lack of nourishing food and warm
clothing, according to DR.. Plotz.
Typhus, which killed thousands Of
Jews last winter In the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen will reeur again,
he said, as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
"Favus, contagious skin disease.
is now rapidly spreading from child
to child" he continued. "In Wilma
there are 1000 cases among the Jew
ish children alone. Smallpox, too, Is
prevalent throughout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature,
have been seen running about the
streets. There are thousands Of cases
every year, which vaccination would
prevent, but there Is no vaccine
DR.. Plotz told how In Lithuanian
villages he found children, six and
seven years old, unable to walk or
talk, the result of malnutrition. In
regions where whole towns had been
destroyed during the war, he found
families crowded in miserable dug
outs.

As a Woman Thinks
BY EDITH E. MoRlARTY.


There seem to be two classes of suf-
fragists nowadays, those who long for
the power and the glory and those who
merely want results. The former would
flaunt the suffrage victory even before
it is won by seeking to hold any and
every political office that was ever
held by man. The latter hold the be-
lief that there are certain things whlcn
women can do better than men ana
that suffrage will merely give. women
the right and opportunity to do those
things They believe that women have
certain very definite place to fill and
very definite work to do and that work
is not merely holding offices.
Those women who go after empty Of
fees are falling in their duty and are
missing the whole significance of the
privilege which is about to be granted
them. The woman who is going to take
her Acknowledgement seriously Will not
seek an office merely because 1t Is an
office, but she will never refuse to run
for an office where a woman Is needed.
Two things which women have always
been concerned over are wages and
children. Now they will be given a
chance to do something about the laws
concerning both of these things which
are so closely connected with the home.
Therefore women will have broad
field in which TO work If they merely
try to obtain minimum wage laws,
workable child labor laws, laws for the
protection of motherhood and adequate
educational facilities throughout the
country. Unless women concentrate on
some Such features as these they wis
not do any more for the good of the
country than the men have done.
The mere giving of the vote to women
Ia not going to reform the world. but II
the women use it properly it will help
reform those things which affect women
and children and that, it seems, is the
one big thing the women can do. And
so it seems to be a very wise and pru-
dent thing which the Republican wom-
en- are asking. namely, that there be
created a federal department of edu-
cation with woman as secretary OF
education. That means that there
would be woman member of the cab
met The Republican women do not
seek to put a woman in the White
House. nor do they claim that ''wom@
en- ought to be represented in the cab
met" and therefore it would be a
good thing to appoint a woman secree
tary of labor. or state, or agriculture.
They think that education, one of the
most important factors o. modern civ
ilization, should have a place on the
cabinet and that since woman has al
ways been the teacher in this RountVy
Il is only natural that woman should
be made secretary Of that department
They are not seeking to put o womae
in office merely for the sake of exer-
cising their new power, but because
they think there Is an actual need which
women alone can fill.

HELEN KELLER, VAUDE STAR,
WINS FRIENDS BY PERSONALITY

NEW YORK, March i9.--For exempn-
Ncauou al tnr power of the human mind
over material obstacles the incidents
cited and theories expressed by Sir
Oliver Lodge and other scientists and
psyChics seemd TO be mere piquant farce
compared with Miss Helen Keller on
the vaudeville stage.
Nuy Of these lecturers have audi
enecs that go to a lecture 10 hear their
own theories encouraged That makes
il easy for the lecturer.
A the Palace vaudeville theater re-
Gently, after clever act Of what Is
termed sidewalk patter.' was finished
and apptauded, the electric program an
nuunced Miss Helen Keller
Probably everyone In the audience
had heard some time or other of Helen
Keller, blind deaf and dumb from the
age Of - months. who after battling
with the impossible for years has
learned TO speak. But it was only
dim. fan off story read In magazines or
newspapers years ago. When Helen
Keller was eight the fact that she was
learning To read and study through the
sense Of touch much was written about.
Certainly no one had the fantest idea
Of what "a blind, deaf and dumb woman,
who had ben taught to speak with as
much mechanical difficulty almost rs
would be experienced IN producing
speech from a statue, would be doing in
vaudeville, where the swiftest, trick
lest sort Of entertainment-'stu stuff with
a punch provided for audiences
whose critical anticipation of enter
tainment is set TO a hair trigger,
The curtain went up, the stage set
as a drawing room. After preliminary
announcement, a TALL rather handsome
woman appeared in the opening at the
rear of the stage. She advanced a few
steps, then tottered a little, as one
VINO has some difficulty in balancing.
She brushed against a piano and ad
vanced to the tootlights, where another
woman had been awaiting her.
The huge audience realized with
trace Of uneasness that this woman
v0s b'Ud, although she has large
bright blue eyes which have the de-
Cupure appearance Of being unusually
strong and clear. It was Helen Keller,
a vigorous, healthy looking woman. Her
companion. Mrs Anne Sullivan Macy
who has been her friend and teacher
Since Miss Helen keller's childhood, eX-
planned the difficulty of teaching her
to speak and the patience, cleverness
and will power and faith displayed by
MISS Keller which really seems almost
Superhuman.
Unable to hear the voices of Others
Miss Keller learned to talk by feeling
of the throats and lips of others, and
after years of effort mastered by this
mechanical toll what others have as a
divine gift, easy as breathing.
Such intensity of interest has rarely
been seen in the theater as shown by
those audiences last week in the big
vaudeville theater. The difficulties
conquered and the intense human striv-
ing of this woman seem to strike the
audiences in great wave Of sympathy.
For few moments they were perplexed
by her strange, carefully articulated

One day Uncle Wiggily Longears. the
bunny rabbit gentleman, saw Bllhe
Bushytail, the squirrel boy taking a
walk behind the hollow stump school
The lady mouse teacher had dismissed
al! she classes because school was out.
Where are you going, Billie asked
Uncle Wiggtly,
"Oh, over to a slippery slide we fel-
lows made, Billie answered. Don
you want 10 come

so, after taking a look toward the hol-
low stump school. to make sure the lady
mouse would not see him at his child
ish sports the bunny uncle went on
with Billie.
II was showing Just a little. making
the icy places Of the fields and woods
that much more slippery than usual,
Billie led the way to a little Hill behind
the hollow stump school. There was as
fine a slide as heart could Wish,

I'D rather see you try it, said the
old rabbit gentleman. II am a little

So Billie took long breath. then he

which had Ice underneath and snow

We'll. | might as well eat pork as
beans, suppose" said Uncle Wigglly,
enigmat.cal like and mysterious,
Then he took a snort breath and
long run and down the slide he went,
lust as Billie had done.
How do you like IT, asked the
squirrel boy as they started over again,

Uncle wiggily. and his pink nose

SO the two OF them slid and slid
again, Uncle Wiggily having as much

LARK ENDED.

Lectured for lying abed late. the
farmers boy promised that in future he
would be up with the lark" The next
morning the old farmer came in from
his milking and found his son sitting on
the stile and singing as blithely as
though there was no such a thing as
work.
exasperated sire. this is worse than
sleeping. What do you mean by loaf
ing on that stile and singing at the top
of your voice."
The lad grinned.
why, dad, you told me to be like the
lark, and that's all he does when he
gets up early"
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-03-19

because we know It's there, But the
fox didn't"
NO I see he didn't" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. IT'S a good thing you made
the bump. Billie"
Then the rabbit gentleman and the
squirrel boy slid down the slide and
when they came to the icy bump they
just bounded up little way and came
down again. And, really. it made the
slide ever so much more fun.
So this teaches us that what is good
for a bunny and squirrel Is not always
good for a bad fox. And If the lead
pencil doesn't make the foot rule stand
on its hands and turn a somersault
over the ink bottle, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Johnnies
