an THE DAYS NEWS"

Albert B. Cummins, who is a candi-
date for denomination in today's Re-
publican primaries in Iowa, is COM
pleting his third term in the United
States Senate. Senator Cummins has
been looked upon as a leader in the
progressive element of his party and
has taken a prominent part in national
legislative affairs. particularly in the
matter of the government regulation
of railroads, on which subject he is
regarded as high authority. At times
he had considerable backing for the
Republican presidential nomination
but it never developed into any formid-
able push for the place. Senator Cum
Minis is Pennsylvania, who was ed
ucated at All academy, studies survey
ing, joined the STAG of a railway in the
interior. and later studied law and set
tied in Chicago. Moving to Des Moines
he wont a place in his profession and
in politics that, a decade later, landed
him in the legislature, and later won
him the governorship and ultimately a
seat in the senate.

AUSTRIA IS MAKING
HEROIC EFFORT TO
SAVE ITS CHILDREN
Austrian Government Is EndeayOrlng
To Save Its Young, According
To Data Published.

That the Austrian Government is
putting forth great efforts to save the
youngest is shown in report on the
activities of the Children's Bureau of
Lower Austria, Just received by the
Childrens Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor. In 1919, 10000
children in the seven provinces COM
prising Lower Austria were under the
protectiono ( the bureau. 1t had 81
public guardians for children born out
of wedlock, 20 women welfare work
ers, As assistant welfare workers, and
$500 volunteers caring for orphans. 1t
supported 100 infant welfare centers
under medical supervision in 1919, and
is organizing 80 new ones.
The work of the Austrian Children's
Bureau is not confined to infants. 1t
has under supervision all children
born out of wedlock within the last 4
years, and is planning to extend per-
manent supervision over all children
in need of it, and to provide health
centers for older children as we'll as
for babies. The Bureau works in close
cooperation with private agencies, and
even assists in the formation of new
private organizations for child well
faer work.
In Viennt the Children's Bureau is
especially well organized. 1t consists
of six divisions, concerned with legal
work care of mothers and children,
welfare work with school children. vo-
cational guidance, physical training.
and assistance in kind. The division of
care of mothers and children is con-
Quoted by a physician and a staff
trained in welfare work. 1t supervises
all welfare stations in the city, has
charge of the up-bringing of children
in institutions, and is responsible for
providing homes for children in need
of immediate care.
This comprehensive work in. Austria
is phase of the worldwide movement
to extend public protection to matern-
ity and childhood. Governmental re-
sponsibility is being aroused, nation
by nation, to the necessity of providing
instruction in hygiene and adequate
medical and nursing care for all the
mothers and babies if a healthy gen

HUMOROUS BATTLE SCENES.

ITO be sure, not all the scenes
aboard the Lawrence even under those
stern conditions, were of so serious
kind" says an article by George b.
BRYAN on Alexander Perry, Real Sea-
scout" describing the experiences OF
this twelve year old boy at the Battle
of Lake Erie THE Commodore had a
pet dog which, when the firing had
commenced, had scurried below and
hid in closet where was stored the
crockery belonging to the officers
mess A cannon-ball came hurting
through the vessels side, smashed In
the closet door, and broke most of the
crockery to bits. The dog, though un-
harmed, seemed to feel that no spot
was safe from intrusion and set up g
protest of bowls and banks. Lieuten-
ant Yarnell had suffered a scalpwound
to which DR.. Parsons had hastily ap'
piled lint, tying down the dressing
with a big bandanna. Stored on deck
as we have noted, were the sailors
haInmocks. These had been suited
for want of something better, with the
downy material gathered from cat
tail tops. Ere long the hammocks were
shot to pieces, and the cat-tail down
fioated in the air like the flakes of a
miniature snow storm. A mass of ii
adhered to Lieutenant Yarnall's bloody
head and face; and, as if this were not
enough, the lieutenant's nose was
bruised by a splinter and swelled to
vast proportions. When Yarnall pre-
scented himself in the cockpit for fur
Their attention, he looked, DR.. Parsons
said, for all the world like huge owl;
and even in those surroundings
wounded men set up a laugh at his
bizarre appearance, and called out
that the Devil had come for them.
These and other things of comic re-
lief, Alexander saw as he passed about
the Inflated Lawrence. 1t was his last
battle, and vigorous one; but he was
busy all the time; and he had implicit
confidence in the courage and ability
of brother Oliver"

paratus measures the exact amount of

than on the Sahara Desert. Still an
other apparatus measures the degree

OCTIONS OF PlCKETS

Irish Freedom Organization Says the
Washington Women Pickets DO
Not Work on Their Authority.

The following statement regarding
the acts of small group of women
who are frequently referred to as

IT. o'Connell, Director of the Friends
of Irish Freedom national bureau OF
information:
The apparent determination OF the
women "pickets" to engage at WASH
ington and elsewhere in actions when
cause the public to believe, perhaps,
that they act with the approval oil
those giving their best efforts to ad-
yancing the cause of freedom and in
dependence for the people of Ireland

dition to what has previously been
said officially, that these women act
only as individuals and have no sane
ton whatever from any of the large
bodies of American men and women
of Irish blood who act by and through
the direction of the Friends of irish
Freedom and affiliated organizations.
Though these women are very gen.
orally referred to in published news
paper reports as Friends of Ireland
and by reason of that reference may be
regarded as speaking and acting for
the body officially known as the
Friends of Irish Freedom, it must be
clearly understood that they do not in
any sense speak for or act on behalf
of the Friends of Irish Freedom, as an
organized body, or the 2O,OOO,0OO

GAS CRISIS SEEN
IN OIL SCARCITY
Basic Ingredient of Product
Going Into Gasoline.

WASHINGTON, May PA national
crisis in the supply of oil for the manu-
facture of Illuminating gas is arising
through the extraordinary demand for
gasoline throughout the country, it was
declared at the bureau of mines today.
Through the Burton Cracking" pro-
cess, enormous quantities of gas oil are
Icing refined into gasoline, it was stated,
and resulting in a shortened supply ev-
erywhere for the manufacture of gas
for lighting and heating purposes.
Gas companies in attempting to obtain
sufficient quantities of oil are competing
with the gasoline refners, and sending
prices to new heights.
Gas oil is selling at IL and IL cents
a gallon as result of the shortage"
said J. o. Lewis, oil expert of the bureau
of mines.
about four gallons of oil are required
in making 1000 cubic feet of gas. The
total fuel oil supply in 1919 was eleven
billion gallons.
The gas oil supply, included in the
volume of fuel oil, was 600,OO0OOO gal
Ions.
About 40. per cent of the gas oil sup
ply last year was converted into gaso-
line
statistics show that 100000 gallons
Of the available supply of fuel oil, in
Guiding the gas oil was refined into
gasoline"
Officials of the bureau Of mines believe
that heavier oils will have to be used in
the making of gas in the future.
