The last appearance of Pendleton

today at the assembly period in the
presentation Of another clever farce

tire action taking place in front of the
curtain.
Caroline Schneiter, as "the would
he actorine'' made a distinct hit with
her cleverely overdrawn depletion of
stage struck girl. Ruth Keen, who
had matrimonial Intentions" also re-

Blue Sky Man Falls to Earth

The career of a man who, ac-
cordlng to report, has established a
double claim to the dubious title of
"blue sky artist was brought to a
thrilling climax just across the
Canadian border from Minnesota a
few days ago.
He is Joseph H. Gadbury, who
is alleged to have been taking
money from innocent investors on
a "blue sky" scheme at Britt
Iowa, during the past few weeks.
When the game became uncom-
Portable and began to look dam
gerous, he stepped into his private
aeroplane and sailed away through
upper space for Canada. Hardly
had he crossed the line, however,
when he had the ill-luck to meet
some of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, who were out
looking for him, mounted not upon
horses as Is their wont, but upon
an aeroplane, instead. Worse, yet,
when he refused to land, they
turned a machine gun upon his
plane and quickly brought it hut-
tering down to earth where he was
made prisoner. He is being held
at Winnipeg and it is said will soon
be returned to Iowa for trial.
The pity is that we have TO eff
fective laws to prevent the sale of
"blue sky Stocks as worthless Sc
curities in general are called. Other
states, too, are in the same help
less condition when it comes to
dealing with fake promoters. Blue
sky legislation is probably receiv-
ing more thought just now than
ever before in our history; and be-
fore long we shall begin to hear the
solutions, worked out by the law
makers of the various states. They
will be worth watching since the
protection of savings is matter of
the first Importance in civilized
society.

the second, that he will give no

it may do to their own particular

the last point that he is stressing
most; and he is setting an example
that can leave little doubt as to
what he really means and is asking
of others. 1t should be noted and
written large to his credit not only
that he is spending his time con-
ferring with the nations sanest
leaders and best thinkers, but that

Women Have Poor Luck

The six measures, which the
combined women's organizations
Of America are urging congress to
enact into law, do not seem to be
faring very we'll at the hands of
august body.
Two of them have been already
taken up. One, the Sheppard
Towner bill for the protection of
maternity and childhood and for
the establishment of a bureau of
social welfare, has already been so
altered that what is left seems
hardly worth saving. The reason
assigned is that rigid economy
must be practiced by the United
States government hereafter and
that this bill would cost some
money.
The other is the Kenyon-Ken-
drick bill for regulating the big
meat packers so that they shall no

A Faithful Public Servant

An Iowa man, whose name is be-
coming more or less familiar to the
people of the entire nation, is Hor-
ace M. Towner. Just now we are
hearing it in connection with the
Sheppard-Towner bill for the pro-
lection of maternity and infancy
and also with the Smith-Towner
bill, which would appropriate a
large amount for public education
and re-organize the United States
Bureau of Education so that it's
head would be a member of the
presidents cabinet.
Mr.. Towner is the rep sentative
in congress from the eighth con-
gressional district Of Iowa, which
consists in general of the two
southern tiers of counties west OF
the middle of the state. He is a
native of Illinois where he studied
law He removed to Iowa while
still young man, locating at
Corning where he took up the prac-
tice of his chosen profession. He
was married there in 1887; and
three years later he became Judge
OF the district court, which position
he filled with honor for twenty
years. Then he was elected to
congress. He has served here for
five successive terms and has just
been reelected for the sixth. At
the age of siXty-five, he is easily
one of the most influential men in
the national house of representa-
tives.
In his name, we might read his
character truthfully. For he is a
namesake of Horace Mann, OF
Massachusetts, the greatest edu-
cational leader that America has
yet produced, and the man who in
the late fifties devised, at the re-
quest Of the governor of Iowa. the
system of public schools which was
subsequently established for our
state, and which is still in opera
ton without any essential modifi-
cation.

longer be able to keep prices down
to the producer while at the same
time they are keeping them up to
the consumer. In connection with
this bill, scene t hat may be put
down as almost shameful was wit
messed in the United States Senate
a few days ago. Senator Kenyon,
of Iowa, who is the leading advo
cate of the bill, was slated to speak
upon it; and the galleries filled
with people who were interested in
it as a measure of genuine impor-
tance to producers and consumers
alike. Yet of the ninety-slx mem
bers of the senate, the number ac-
tually present ranged from fifteen
down to Just nine; and what is
still worse, these few were 80 dis
orderly that Senator Kenyon could
be heard only by those who hap
pened to be nearest to HIM. 1t
seems to mean that the senate is
not in sympathy with the effort to
control the packers in the interests
of the public and intends to let
them have their own way in the
future. If this inference is cor
rect, it means of course that the
producers of meat will continue to
receive less for it than they should
while consumers will continue to
pay more for it than they should.
Perhaps we should not Judge the
senate so hastily, for it may turn
out that they have some other
plan in mind. However, it does
not look we'll to find lawmakers re-
fusing to listen to both sides of
every measure devised 10 curb pri-
waite greed and to promote the
common good.

College Girls Rear Babies

With the young women in our
college homemaking classes under
taking the actual care of babies,
we shall probably have to quit say
ing before long that college courses
are not practical. This is actually
being done by the girl. who are
studying home economics at the
University Of Minnesota.
The babies are taken from the
various children's homes and as a
rule are in delicate health when
placed in the care of the college
girls. The strange thing is that
the young women seem able to re.
store these little ones to health in
an incredibly short time. This, Of
course, is something that very
many mothers are never able to
do; for there are literally millions
of people, both young and old,
whose physical development has
been arrested in their early year.
by improper diet or care, notwith-
standing the mothers have done
the very best they knew. The
college girls evidently have a bet
ter knowledge OF diet and nutrition.
1t is to be hoped that this know
ledge may before long come into
the possession of mothers every.
where.

II IN u lOINI FNtNO ~ y v
Since 1902 there has been steady
increase of women entering the
educational profession.
Mime. Chaponniere Chalk of
Switzerland has been elected presl-
dent of the International Cour Gil of
Women.
Several women are enrolled in the
engineering and architectural de-
partments of the University OF
Minnesota. In the architectural
college, nine women Of a class OF
more han hundred are register
ed according to the dean of archi-
lecture.
DR.. katherine M. Herring of Wa
terloo, Ia, has assumed her position
as head of the newly created wom-
ans section in the bureau of immi-
grafton of the interior department.
The department has named sew
eral assistant immigration inspec
tors to work under her direction at
Ellis Island and Boston.
A letter requesting President-elect
Harding to refrain from the use of
cigarettes has been sent to Mr. Har-
ding by Miss Lucy Page CASTOR, of
Chicago, superintendent of the In
ternatlonal Anti-Cigarette league.
The letter concludes:
"The United States has had no
smoking president since Mckinley.
Roosevelt and Taft and Wilson all
have clear records. Is not this a
question of grave Importance"
The question of whether women
will continue in more lucrative
trades into which they were forced
as result of the World war, and
form an industrial problem of some
moment, is now agitating students
of industrial affairs. Statistics show
that women in the ratio of about
one to every nine are now employ
ed in the industries formerly en-
ploying men exclusively.
About 10000 women are employ
ed by l, 324 big firms in the iron,
steel and other industries, and in
activities that before the war were
regarded as the exclusive work OF
males. There are 35 per cent more
women in these industries now than
there were before the war, and their
position, due to proved efficiency
seems to be a permanent one.
