Mrs Helen III. Gardener Name,
Literary in Origin, Goes to Senate
For Gui Seruice Commissioner

How the daughter of an old-fash-
ioned Virginia clergyman took
pen name when she feared her lib
eral views would clash with his
orthodox precepts, and how this
name later was legalized, eclipsing
the memory of her patronymic and
replacing that OF her marriage, was
recalled yesterday when President
Wilson sent the nomination of Mrs.
Helen Hamilton Gardener, as a
member of the Civil Service Com
mission, to the Senate. .....-....
Medical student. writer. sociolo-
gist and suffrsgist, Mrs. Gardener
Is the first woman ever to be named
for such a post. Another precedent
is the sending for confirmation OF a
nom de plume.
While still a girl. Mrs-\Gardener,
daughter of the Rev. Alfred Grihith,
of Lynchburg, became interested In
q number of subjects taboo in the
strict circle of her family. For one
thing, 1t Is related by friends, she
read Robert Ingersoll with enthu-
siasm, and at that time the silver
tonguer free-thinker was anathema
in every Christian homo in America.
Starting to write on her own ac-
count, the then Miss Griffith adopt

known to the outside world as Hell
en- Hamilton Gardener. she finally
went into court and had the name
legalized.
Mrs. Gardener, whose home is at
1888 Lamont street, Is well quail
fled for the post to which she will
probably be confirmed with little
opposition. She accepted the nomi-
nation in a letter to President Will
son, in which she. declared she had
not had the slightest. intimation she
was to be honored. The news was
impaired to her yesterday morning
at the White House.
For years Mrs. Gardener was a
member Of the executive board OF
the National American Woman Suf-
frsge Association and one of the
foremost proponents of the Susan b.
Anthony amendment. She Is a NOV
ing spirit at present in the Woman
Voters League, which superseded

What the Stars Say About Gouen7or Cox

ardent aspirations. ambition, energy
and courage. xix
Unless restrained by the inter-
position of one or more OF the con-

the emphasis given to Aries az the
birth of Gov. Cox would signify q
very pronounced disposition to be
"heady." or very impatient, fmpul-
sfye, dashing, restless and perhaps
at times reckless and rebellious.
Undoubtedly at the moment of
his birth, some one or moro Of the
restraining and purposeful factors
must have been emphasized. else II
Is scarcely possible that he would
have achieved the degree of emt-
nence and success for which he Is
SO rightly recognized.
This being the case, the dynamic
force and energy of Aries would be
wisely directed along constructive
and utilitarian lines.
The sign Aries. which in any
event exerts q dominating influence
upon the life and character Of Gov.
Cox, has chief rule over the head
and face. in consequence OF which
all the organs ceutered therein are
very much alive alert. active and
responsive.
On the day Of Gov, Cox's birth,

THE FLU SITUATION

During the last week the citizens OF
Trego county have been under the ban
issued by DIR. Herrick, county health
officer, which forbid holding sessions
of school or any other gatherings on
account of the prevalence of an epl-
demic of Spanish influenza At this
writing there are signs of relief in
sight and from present indications the
order will expire next Sunday night
A representative of The World
talked with Dr. Herrick last evening
regarding the situation and the clos
ing order DIR. Herrick said: I've are
very busy answering calls and while
there are a great many cases though
out the county we are finding no new
cases and the calls we are making are
to those who have previously been re
ported" He did not indicate that it
would be necessary to extend the or
der another week. We expected to get
more definite information from him
today but he was unexpectedly called
to Hays last night and did not get
home this afternoon. When the ban
was put on it extended until Monday,
February 16, and at the hour of going
to press there is no indication that it
will not expire at that time. IF no
afflicted will have passed the danger
stage by that time.
With the lifting of the ban people
should not forget that there is yet
danger from the disease and that an
other outbreak is not impossible.
Caution is the bette. part and they
should be slow about calling together
companies excepting in cases where
it is absolutely necessary. Those who
are i'll should stay at home. Those
who feel a cold illness coming on
them should do likewise. The warn
| ing which has been issued from time
| to time should be observed. While
| there have not been as many deaths
| IN this county this year from the
| effects of influenza as there were las;
| year, yet there has been as many OF
| more cases of it i'm the county anc
they have been very serious and the
victims have suffered intensely. For
tunately there has not been as much
| sickness within the city limits this
| year as there was last year, but ir
| the county district it has been very
| bad. Several instances have occurred
| where all of the family or all of then
| but one have been down at the same
| time. 1t will be well to be very eau
| tious for the next week or two a
| least.

MRS. CHAS. LOFSTEAD

Sad, indeed, is the death of the
mother of the family but doubly sad
was the death of Mrs. Chas. Lofstead
of Ogallah township, which occurred
Wednesday morning, February 4th-
While her loved ones mourn the loss
of a true friend, wife and mother, it
is extremely sad for the husband who
is left without a companion and for
the eight children who are left with
out the loving care of mother to
pilot them over the beginning of the
voyage over the sea of life.
Her maiden name was Bertha Alice
Jefers. She was born in Illinois and
had she lived four days longer she
would have been forty years old Her
mother died when she was a little
girl. She came to this county with
her father and other members of the
family when she was thirteen years
of age. She was married to Chas.
20, 1901. To them eight children
were born, six boys and two girls, who
with their father survive her. She is
also survived by one sister, Mrs.
George Musgrave- The oldest of her
children is a son who is seventeen
years old and the youngest is a
daughter nearly two years old The
cause of her death was pneumonia
following influenza.
The funeral services were held last
Friday and the body buried in the
Ogallah cemetery, the Rev Wade, OF
Wa-Keeney conducting the services
For many years Mrs Lofstead had
lived sincere, consistent christian
| life and was member of the Metho-
dist church at Ogallah- This true
christian living endeared her the
more deeply to the members of he1
family and while they greatly mis-.
her from the home they rejoice in th'
belief that she has gone to be witt
her Saviour in the blessed immortal
