Those fortunate beings who are
planning now for Palm Beach, Aiken,
Bermuda. Hot Springts and other
charmed places where the chill blasts
Of winter are unknown, have every
reason TO be glad that the dainty sum

their seasonable time. The rest Of us
feel @ bit Tushed-in our schedule Of
winter plans-by the parasols and
white sport toys, the bathing suits and
tennis sweaters 80 temptingly dis

TransmigratiOn

Do we return according to our rating
Over ife's highway in another guise-
Go limping, overburdened, brokenhearted,
Gayly to pass again with love-Et eyes,
Or faring onward, coldly seIf-important,
Giving no aid and deaf to each appeal,
Come back to find a world Of feet about US,
And cringe obedient at a masters heel?
What was once-a vagrant without
shelter?
Surely knew life under an open sky!
Gray memories come and go, dim and un-
certain,
OF prowing nights with others such as l.;
Of streets in the pale dawn, blank-eyed or
suffered.
Down which plodded on my aimless
way;
Of bare bleak countrysides with scanty
hedges.
Where crouched shuddering to wait
the day.
Poor ltti~ mortals, laughing, fighting
weeping,
Over ifes highway to the Styx we go;
Deep shadows all behind us, and before us
Perchance another pilgrimage of Joy or

Chicago wishes he knew. The psy-
chology of woman delegate is Just
about as elusive as that of a man

AS to what they will wear, that

American women politicians are

The Big Question
Women will take their hats off in
the convention hall, but there is one
big unsettled and sore question that
crops out wherever women politi-
clans gather, and it is how to get
equal representation on the National
Committee. "Fifty-fifty' this issue
has become known for short. And this
is the real issue on the minds of the
women today. Some of them are for
one candidate and some for another
but all of them want that. They can
not get it this year. "But I am sure"
said Mrs. Raymond Robins, a mem
Der of the Woman's National Exec
utive Committee which finished its
work and retired yesterday, "that the
rules committee will change the rules
so that women will have equal repre-
sentation on the Republican National
Executive Committee at the end of
this convention, and if so believe
we may hope for a further change
that will give us the representation
we want on the National Committee
at the next one"

Shifts High Price Blame.
"The rise of prices, the high cost
of living which reach daily into every
home, is the most pressing, as it is
the most difficult and most essential
problem which confronts US. Some
of the sources of this trouble can
be reached by legislation, although
not all, but everything that can be af-
fected by law should be done at once.
"Profteering, the charging of ex-
tortionate and unjustiied prices,
which is stupid as well as unlawful,
are subject now to ample punitive
laws. Those laws should be enforc-
ed, others if necessary added, and
the offenders both great and small
should be pursued and punished.
