BILL URGES NATIONAL
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Senator Capper Would Provide
$4,000, 900 to Pay Instructors
in Public Schools.

Physical education on national
scale is proposed in a bill introduced
in the Senate by Senator Capper of
Kansas. The bill provides for an ap-
preparation of s1O.O0o.ooO tospay the
salaries of physical instructors in the
public schools.
II am opposed to compulsory mill
tary training, but believe that uni
versal physical education in the
schools will give the youth Of the
country most of the practical benefits
the insidious. undesirable effects of
compulsory military training; further
more, physical education in the
country" said Mr.. Capper.
physical education means more
than exercise. 1t includes adequate
supervision of the health and physical
condition of the children and practical
instruction in the principles of health
full living. Great pains have been
taken in the preparation of the bill to
make sure that state autonomy is
abundantly safeguarded. Certain
minimum requirements must be met
by the state before federal assistance
can be given. States must appropriate
sums equal to the amount received
from the federal government and
each state must establish physical
education on a statewide basis. 1t is
reported that both England and
France, In spite of their straitened
financial circumstances, have taken
definite steps toward the establish
ment Of universal physical education"

UNIVERSAL TRAINING
IN PARTISAN PLEA
Supporters of Movement Address
Letters to Heads of Both Ma.
tioual Committees.

A plea for non-pa artisan support OF
the Senate universal military train
ing bill and that this subject be kept
out of politics is contained in identi-
cal letters addressed to Chairman
Hays Of the republican national COM
mittee and Chairman Cummings OF the
democratic national committee by the
military affairs committee of the Mil
itary Training Camps Association and
made public here today.
Argument Presented.
"As the President. a democrat. has
formally announced that he regards
universal training as necessary for
national defense and desirable
from the point OF view of Amer
icanization and physical develop
ment," the letter said, "and az the
republican party has majority in
Congress- the conditions are such that
it would be possible to keep this vital
national question out of party poll
tics"
The letter took issue with the slo-
gan, Let the veterans do it; they
know how"
.Ouxht to Pass 1t Now"
'Jf the veterans are to be drafted
to fight our future wars" it said. las
has l.. en- proposed in Congress, then
we ought to pass the necessary draft
law now because we have all learned
the folly of waiting to prepare until
war is declared. But would any mem
Der of Congress have the temerity to
introduce, or any political party to
back, such a bill. and would it have
any chance of passing?
.'If not, opposition to universal mill
tary training on the ground that the
veterans are trained, is simply a sham
to lull the people into false security"

PLANS PERMANENT
W0MAN'S BUREAU
Mr.. Campbell of Kansas
Would Continue Labor De-
partment Organization.

Representative Philip P. Campbell OF
Kansas has introduced in Congress a
bill to establish a woman's bureau in
the Department of Labor. with n
woman director. which would serve to
make permanent the existing woman's
bureau established as a wartime
activity.
Establishment of the wo,nan's hu-
reau on Il permanent basis will meet
a widespread demand from women's s
organizations. it is declared. AS far
back as 1919 the National Womens
Trade Union League began urging the
creation of such bureau.
Measure Backed by League.
The Campbell bill has the backing of
the Women'S Trade Union League, has
been referred to the House committee
on labor. and it is expected that hear
fngS will be held at an early date. The
bill provides that lit shall be the duty
of the bureau to formulate standards
and policies which shall promote the
welfare of wase-earning women, i'm
prove their working conditions. in
crease their efficiency and advance
their opportunities for profitable en-
ployment"
Few people realize that nearly one
third of the wage earners of the coun-
try now are women" said Representa-
tive Campbell today. During the war
we recognized that it was necessary to
give some special attention to the
problems of the woman worker, and, in
my judgment, it is equally. If not still
more, important to continue to do this
in time of peace.
What we want is to give equal at
tention to women and men i'll industrial
pursuits.

office without fear or favor, and to

feel that in the death Of Raymond
Pullman the community has sustained
serious loss and the police depart
ment more serious loss
"As a police official his services to
the community were equally valuable
as II he had sacrificed his life on
the battlefield"
Judge Mcmahon in ordering the ad-
Journment of the court said: Il agree
with the assistant district attorney in
all that he has said. Maj. Pullman
was a capable official and q true
friend. He rendered to the city a
service that will brighten tho pages
Of the history of the police depart.
ment l feel that he gave up his life
in the incessant discharge Of his duty
as he saw it"
