WHAT DO WISCONSIN WOMEN
WANT IN THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
By Theodore w. Youmans, Member
National Republican Committee on
Policies and Platform.

Have Republican women of Wiscon-
sin any recommendation to offer for
the national Republican platform (?
If so. please send these recommend
atoms to me at once at 1404 First
National Bank Building, Milwaukee.
This committee on Policies and Plat
form was created some months age
by Will H. Hays, chairman OF the
National Republican Committee, IN
order that the members of the party
might have an opportunity to declare
their wishes concerning the platform,
that is the formal declaration of the
principles which will be adopted at
the national convention in June.
The national convention has two
important functions-frst, the nom
nation of candidates for president
and president on the Republican
ticket. and second, the adoption OF
the Republican platform, on which
the campaign will be made. The
platform is not called the platform
until after the convention. At the
convention it appears as the report
of the Resolutions Committee. This
Committee is appointed early IN the
Convention, and during the sessions,
works out certain line of policy con-
corning the great questions OF the
day. It's report, possibly modified or
changed, is adopted by the convention
and thus becomes the official declar-
alton of the party. 1t is in fact
promise by the party to enact certain
legislation and carry on the pubic
business in certain definite way.
A platform adopted in this way
will naturally reflect the opinions OF
the leaders of the party but may not
reflect the opinions of the rank and
file of the party. 1t is in an effort to
secure the opinions of the men and
women who make up the party that
Mr.. Hays appointed the committee on
Policies and Platform. 1t is, l be-
lieve, a genuine and sincere effort on
the part of the chairman to find out
what the rank and file of the party
really believes in and wants the party
to stand for.
Republican women of Wisconsin
are certainly interested in the great
questions of the day and have opin-
$50 obo,,+ +ban, The Committee on
Policies and Platform desires the
benefit of these opinions.
There are some women who assume
that it is better to remain non-parti-
san and choose among the parties
after the candidates are selected and
the platform adopted. Isn't is far
more effective to help formulate the
platform in the way you think it
should be? You have an opportunity
to do just that.

q "If the price of gasoline had not
tripled in the past few years | be-
lieve that it would have been the
death of me-" remarked an average
citizen in the course of a philosophic
discussion of the high cost Of living.
Like most other people, ! have nat
ural tendency to like the soft things
of life. As a consequence had got
into the way of letting a gas engine
do the work that my leg and other
muscles were made to do.
1T was much the same with my
teeth, stomach, and intestinal tract.
The best cuts of the highest priced
stall fed beef cattle were naturally
more appetizing than the meat that
had to be chewed for few moments
before it could be swallowed. Being
more appetizing, | ate far more of
such food than | needed and was
growing more sluggish physically
and mentally than should have been.
Because could not lower prices nor
increase my earnings to keep pace
with increases in costs, there was but
one thing left to do and that was to
consume less Injuries. began to
walk to save gasoline. With more ex-
ercise my appetite became more nat
ural and ordinary food came to taste
better and be more satisfactory than
the fancy dishes had been.
Insurance companies and health
officers have been publishing state
ments that diseases of the heart, ar
teries, and kidneys have been rapidly
increasing in America and that an
important factor in the cause has been
too much soft living. The high costs
of living may prove to be a blessing
in disguise because know that
thousands of. others have had a SIM
liar experience to mine. If we gain
years of life, l don't suppose we can
reckon the cost of the extra years as
being higher than they are WORTH

 Chicago, March 26.-Three veteran r. embers of the Chicago White Sox, last years American pennant winners, may be dropped from baseball this season if they fail to report, according to a statement issued today by Charles A. comiskey, president of the club.
 The three players named in the statement are George (Buck) Weaver, third baseman; Charles Risberg short. stop, and Chick Gandil first base man.
 Mir. Comiskey, who returned from the Pacific coast. declared he had not seen any of the trio while there and had no reason to see them. Weaver ard Risberg are under contract to play with his club this season, Gandil Mas rot signed his contract.
 The players have threatened to go into business if their demands for higher salaries are not granted, while President Comiskey is determined in his stand that the players live up to the contracts which were given g...-t...sl.r. them at their own request.

McCarney is charged with having started the mess out Toledo way, where Dempsey licked Willard. It IS said McCarney wanted to assist Kearns in handling Dempsey, and when his proposition was turned down he got busy McCarney for merly handled Luther McCarty, the white hope who was killed in a bout with Arthur Pelky. Billy also was confidential adviser and watchdog of the Dempsey camp in Toledo for sev- eral weeks before the big scrap last July.

Bronson was a Y. M. c. A.

 might be well also, to enter children

 they attain their teens. Revenue officers discovered two
 quarts of Hennessy Three-Star brandy concealed in the lingerie of large doll carried by woman

 been known to lay down before a pair of Jacks.
