Leuder Predicts
Women Must Learn
To Stand Together
10 Get Beyond Sew-
ing-Bee Stage.

BY MRS. o. III. p. BELMONT
Chairman, National Woman's Party.
A third party in politics in this
country is inevitable. 1t will not come
next year. or perhaps in the next five
years, but 1t WILL come eventually.
The third party will be a woman's
party. IT will be in no way %antagon-
istic to men, Its chief purpose will
be to consider better government.
1t is distressing to see women join
ing the old. parties and becoming par
tisan. Every time 1 hear Of women
getting entangled In old party machin-
cry, it almost makes me feel that the
work of the s~uffragists, perhaps, has
been IN vain.
Aim OF Wo1nan's Party.
My purpose in founding the wom-
ans party in San Francisco a few
years ago, was that 1t should be a per-
manent organization and that It's
first big achievement would be that of
securing full political power to the
women Of the United States.
This purpose accomplished, the
women then having the political pow
er were to use it to bring before the
nation measures which, in u belief,
had been neglected up to the present
~time-among others the interests OF
women and children, independent OF
mans interests.
War service beckoned many young
women who had previously given nj

Bob and I managed to restrain
Impotence to greet his father and sis
ter for the sake of the cause" Thus
we dignified Bob's half-formed scheme
to serve his country at the headquar-
ters of Its secret enemies, should the
need arise. We waited to be summon
ed by Augusta to meet the newly ar
rived Americans. We noticed that
they were being installed In suites ad-
joining our own. We heard Sister ex-
claim about the grandeur of the haci-
enda when she stepped out upon the
balcony for n few moments. We
smelied the familiar smoke of Daddy
Lorimer's favorite cigar. Bob walked
the floor in his excitement and / shed
a few t~oo-ready tears. Finally be-
came impatient OF the slow machinery
wait to meet Chrys according to the
program OF the ruling powers.
I realized hat Chrys must be warn
ed and that Daddy must know abou
Bob's pretended. subnorrnal mental
lily.
I walked out on my balcony hoping
the maid was not In Chrys' suite. l
pushed aside the heavy silk window
hanEings and stepped Into my sister
in-lsw's boudoir. From the bathroom
| came thevtrickle Of the shower. ]
| dropped into a chair opposite the
| bathroom door and waited.
At the turning of the door knob l
placed a finger on my lips and i'd
vanced to meet Chrys. The girl has
a good brain-she started backward,
then caught the meaning OF my ges-
ture and made no outcry of surprise.
She placed Il finger on her own dainty
lip as answer to my warning-and we
| advanced toward each other as ii eacf,
doubted the existence of the other.
/ reached out my arms toward my
husbands sister. All the gladness
felt at seeing her must have shown in
my face.
Suddenly Chrys' hand dropped to
her side, her chin went high, her smile
faded. She looked like a startled and
| indignant goddess in her fine whit
silk negligee.
you here!" she said coldly. why
-are-you-here? Tell me-if you
dare!" Her tone became insulting.
Her insolence told me what h was
thinking, and made me think quickly.
/ Chrys was the wife of Hamilton Ger
tets in name if not in fact. And she
knew that Certeis had loved me for
years. Driven by her jealousy, she
did not wait for me to answer her
question.
so this was why you were so des-
perately worried about Babs! Thi!
was why you sent the baby home witt

the Importance Of organization. With
out organization, q woman's efforts,
no matter how lofty of purpose, no
matter how we'll directed, can never
achieve my big or important result.
Men long ago saw the wisdom OF
standing together" So effectually have
they been able to do this for centuries
that woman was shut out of every
thing except housekeeping and
motherhood
Women must educate themselves
politically, not on the old ines of boss

The New Year is a good time to
stop and take stock of the kitchen
and determine where to save ana
where to spend, both in time anad
money.
AS to money, mere thinking twice
\ before spending is not enough now,
think three or four times. And from
the saving angle, be sure you're not
saving money at the cost OF heath and
happiness. There's such. a thing as
being penny wise inc pound foolish.
And time. The Old clock used to
carry the words. Time is money" SO
if o spend unnecessary time on un-
necessary duties. you're wasting both
! time and money. But there are places
where an expenditure of times means
a saving of money and when you dis
cover this the hardest housekeeping
problem is solved.

WILSON BACK
WITH CABINET
Presides at First Meeting Of
Advisors Since Last
September.

President Wilson yesterday morn
ing presided over the first meeting
of his Cabinet he has <held since
September 2, 1919. The meeting
lasted for more than one and one
half hours. The President stood
the ordeal. Cabinet members affirm
ed. in excellent fashion.
Discusses Railroad Crisis
The Cabinet was called to discuss
the railroad strike crisis.
No statement was issued as to the
nature of the deliberations. but At
torney General Palmer intimated
last night that the session had
largely been devoted to considering
the evidence in possession OF the
Department of Justice establishing
red radicalism as the root-cause OF
the railroad upheaval.
The President, 1t Is understood,
believes the immediate objective to
be sought is to convince the coun-
try of the menace of international
communism. Apparently the minds
of his Cabinet ministers "go will
ingly along with" his, in this re-
spect.
The President. too. expects the
newly Railway Labor
Board win function promptly and
effectively. Between its operations
and the efforts of the recognized
labor organizations to throttle the
strike. Mr.. Wilson and the Cabinet
hope the necessity for more direct
or forceful government Intervention
may be averted.

Would You Like
To Stop Smoking
For a While?

To think of giving up smoking
is unpleasant to most people-even
to those who know that too much
tobacco Injuries them-and to really
quit takes more determination than
many have. They fear the craving
will be greater than they can VOL
UNFAIRLY endure. You can make IL
easy to quit the habit by getting
Nicotol tablets and taking them as
directed. The habit really quits you
and it's departure is a pleasure
equal to your former indulgence.
If you want to know how much
easier it is to quit the habit with
the aid of Nicotol than without it,
go twenty-four hours without to-
bacco and note what an effort it
costs you. Then begin using tobac-
CO as usual and take Nicotot tab
lets. At the end of a week stop
smoking or chewing for a day and
it is probable you will have no de-
sire to resume. At least your de-
sire will be greatly diminished and
another week or two should make
it not only possible, but pleasure
to quit
Nicotol is sold by druggists gen.

is claimed. 1t is sold and guaran-
teed in this city by many good
druggists, especially by Peoples

For Navy but Senate Ex-

Objection Of Two RepubG-
cans to Increase Causes
Sharp Differences.
HOUSE FOR ECONOMY

Sharp differences between the
House and Senate conferces on the
naval pay bill have developed over.
the proposal Of the Senate to in
crense also the pay of the men In
the Army. Public Health Service,
and Coast and Geodetic Survey. The
conferees are practically agreed that
tho pay Of men In the navy from
captains down should be made
greater. but two Republican House
members are unwilling to make any
further Increases
Any increase other than that pro-
vided for In the Kelley bill. which
passed the House, would not be in
keeping with the Republican policy
OF economy, II Is said This bill
only passed the House when figures
were produced showing that deser-
tions from the navy were as high
as 1000 a month.
1t provides that the pay of en-
listed men and petty officers be in
creased about 80 per cent and is
designed to hold in the navy me-
chanics and other artisans who are
able to obtain much higher wages
in civilian life. This bill would in
crease the pay until 1921, costing
the government about $4,000, 900
annually, while the amendments
made in the Senate would increase
the pay indefinitely and cost as
much as $75.O00,000 with the pro-
visions for the army. Public Health
Service, and Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
One of the Republican conferees
has refused TO abide by the policy
of his party in the House and con-
tends in order to have the Ameri-
can navy properly manned. the gov
ernment must increase the pay of
naval officers as well as enlisted
men. He likewise sides with the
Democratic conferees of the House
and the conferees from the Senate,
in go favoring increases for other
branches of the service.

NAVAL RADIO BILL
WHIPPED INTO SHAPE

The House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries decided
yesterday that high power naval
radio stations should be utilized for
press and commercial dispatches
only where private companies were
not operating and at rates subject
to the revision and supervision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The bill as finally completed by
the committee permits the naval
radio stations to operate in this
manner for only two years.
The Secretary of Commerce, Ii
says, shall decide when private COM
panies are able to furnish the serv-
ice desired. At that time, the Navy
Department shall cease to carry
private dispatches.
The bill also gives naval stations
the right to send messages relating
to government business. compass re-
ports and messages involving safety
of a ship at sea.
