What Women Are 70 Do

The past six weeks have given us
q clearer vision of the extent and
character of woman'e influence up
on the affairs of our nation in the
future.
All, of the most powerful wo-
mems organizations have represen-
tatives at Washington actively
working for certain legislation.
These women workers have Joined
4ogether in most of their efforts, as
the particular laws which they de-
sire to see passed are in many cases
the same. United in this manner,
they are exerting very great in
Auence upon Congress, especially
because of the facts that they rep
resent more than ten million wo-
men throughout the country and
that they are exceedingly active
and determined in their efforts to
secure the enactment of the laws
which they are advocating.
AS to the character of the meas
ares for which they are working,
they seem to fall under two classes.
They are putting forth their
strongest efforts in behalf of GER
tain measures for the protection of
human life; and after this their
next great aim seems to be the i'm
Provement Of social conditions,
with particular emphasis just now

A Surprise

A Chicago man was arrested for
having whisky in his possession
illegally. He believed that he had
public sentiment with him so he
demanded jury trial, confident
that they would give the anti-so-
loon league a black eye. This is
where he met his surprise. The
jury which heard the evidence
found him guilty without leaving
the box, not even bothering to rec
ommend him to the mercy Of the
court. Can it be possible after all
shat public sentiment was what
made prohibition possible?

How Other Women Can Help

There are many women in our
country who are not members of
any organization, but who would
like to help in the movement now
being pushed so energetically by
their organized sisters.
The truth seems to be that any
such woman can do her full part
by writing a personal letter to the
representative in Congress from
her district, asking him to sup
port the Sheppard Towner Bill;
to put his influence on the side of q
reduction, rather than an increase.
in ornaments. and to support
the Smith Towner Bill, which is to
create department of education,
whose head will be member Of
the presidents cabinet.
Letters Of this kind receive every
consideration from our lawmakers,
who really welcome such express
sions of opinion from their con-
stituents. In fact, most such
officials endeavor to conform to re-
quests of this kind that come in
considerable numbers unless they
know that they, themselves, pos
sess information relating to the
matters at issue which the writers
do not have. incidentally, if such
letters are signed by both husband
and wife, they naturally bear
greater weight than if they bear
the signature Of either one alone.

millions are dying from starvation
and the business of the world is
half paralyzed."
The Lovers of Darkness

Many of our most thoughtful
people are beginning to ask anx-
iously just what is the meaning of
this recent proposal to make our
country over into one of the great
est military nations of the earth,
for the program which Congress is
considering can mean nothing less
than this. In fact, the appropria-
ton which it carries for building
up our army and navy is so great
that the necessary taxes would a.
mount to approximately seventy
dollars per family per year merely
for this one purpose alone, while
other expenses of the government
bring the amount to be collected
from US in taxes up to a staggering
total.
The first guess of many people is
that this appropriation actually
foreshadows q war with Japan
since there is no other nation any
where in the world that has the
slightest cause for a quarrel with
US. Neither does Japan have any
grievance against US that should
lead to war. Yet it cannot be de-
MED that for many years, there
seems to have been q persistent,
systematic effort carried on by
some invisible interests or agencies
to arouse in America a hatred
for Japan, while precisely the same
sort of propaganda has been carried
on in Japan to arouse hatred for
America. Lately, the feeling has
grown more ugly, and one or two
outbreaks which might easily lead
up to war have occurred. That
someone is fomenting and "engi-
neering" this spirit of ill-will and
snmity between the two nations is
quite clear; but just who it is, or
what the motive may be has not
yet been revealed.
If the women of our country can
put a stop to the military program
which can lead only to another
great war, or better yet, if chey
can drag out into the light the
evll-doers who are attempting to
commit this dastardly outrage
against civilization, they will have
made secure forever their claim to
q place in the councils OF the ma
ton.

The Problems Of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Mothers Responsibility

Have you ever thought of the
amount Of knowledge child picks
up in the first two years of his life?
He enters the world utterly de
void of knowledge Of any kind,
even light and sound being un-
known, but from the beginning he
absorbs his environment and from
observation comes knowledge.

/ am sure not many mothers
realize the full measure of their re-
sponsibility for the good or i'll
which takes place among us. The
office of the mother, that of direct
ing and educating souls is momen-
tous and the results of her service
will live through all eternity.
The child knows nothing but to
do as he sees others do, and his
ability to understand and initiate
them determines his educational
achievement.
The mother is the ,hild's model
and he reproduces that which he
observes in her. If she is irritable
he receives impressions which will
have bearing upon his whole flu
ture. Freddy does not inherit that
irritable disposition as Is supposed,
it is due to his early environment.
Early impressions are lasting and
if the mother is not always truth
full, or if she repeats scandal or is
sometimes unkind and overbearing
how can she convince Freddy that
these things are wrong7 Her acts
may be forgotten but the impress
sions made will last indefinitely and
influence his viewpoint on moral
character, and his conduct through
life.
1t is a mistaken idea some have
that young children do not notice
what is taking place around them.
If this were so how can we account
for the rapidity with which they
learn to distinguish objects, to walk
and to talk q hitherto unknown
language? Almost all children
learn to talk quite readily before
they are two years old. Who of
us could master an unknown LAM
guage in less time? They get their
knowledge, too, almost solely from
observation while we have assist
ance from books and masters.
Who can say a child does not OBJ
serve?
1t is noticeable that almost with
out exception our really great men
have had good mothers, mothers
who have held their duties to FAM
lily and home of first Importance
and have cons ientiously perform
ed them.

Likewise the Fathers

However, the women of the land
are not content to limit their eff
forts to any single measure, no
matter how good it may be. They
see another chance to safeguard
human life by bringing the force Of
organized pressure to bear for the
prevention of future wars. In par
ticular, they are standing against
the present proposal to increase
enormously the American army
and navy.
Regarding this proposal, which
is just now being very seriously
considered by Congress, General
Pershing recently said:
AS we review the effects of the
war, every thinking man and wo-
man must realize the reasons why
steps should be taken to prevent
another such calamity. One step
in that direction is to reduce the
expense of armament. The safety
of humanity in the future depends
upon our early consideration Of the
question of limiting armament
That the women of America look
upon great ornaments merely at
a first step toward another war
Just as does General Pershing, and
that they propose to put stop tc
the present program in its early
stages, is indicated by the ener-
getlc protest issued few days ago
by the National Council of Wo-
men, representing something more
than seven million of the women
voters of the country, against "the
dangerous reactionary tendencies,
which are making our country
block the halt in ornaments, which
was urged at the Geneva meeting
of the Assembly of the League of
Nations. Our danger from ag-
gression was never less; but para
doxically, Congress is be ng asked
for an increase of appropriations
from 855 millions of dollars to ff-
teen hundred millions for war prep
arations. This at a time when

,upon the securing of better edu-
cational advantages for the young
people of the land.
Saving Mothers and Babes

In attempting to secure greater
protection for human life, the wo-
men of the nation have singled out
one particular measure as worthy
of united support; and they are
exerting their utmost influence and
power to bring about its passage.
1t is the Sheppard Towner Bill for
the protection of maternity and
infancy.
The truth il that the United
States is tagging behind other CIV
ilized countries of tue world in the
attention it gives to its mothers
and little children. There are &C.
tually more than twenty foreign
nations which forbid by law the
gainful employment Of expectant
mothers for certain specified pc
Rod before and after childbirth.
Further, nearly all of these coun-
tries provide, at public expense,
for medical care and nursing SER
vice during this PERIOD; and more
than half OF them actually provide
a cash benefit in addition to the
above to make more certain the
proper care of the mother and child
during this critical period.
In the United States, we have
no national law of this kind. In
stead, more than three-fourths Of
our mothers have neither medical
advice nor q rest period at this
time; and the number who die as
the result of childbirth is approx
imately $4,000 per year, while the
number of infants who perish is
nearly ten times as great. Since a
very large proportion of these lives
can be saved, it is apparent that if
the women of the nation succeed in
securing the enactment of the
Sheppard Towner Bill, which is
similar in its provisions to the laws
OF other civilized countries referred
to above, they will have achieved
something very much worth Will.
in their effort to secure greater pro
lection for human life.

1t has been officially announced that
Colonel VIM. J. Simmons, Imperial
Wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan, has
been elected head of "The Knights of

ton composed of former United States
army officers belonging to the Air
Service. Second to him is Major Reed

chosen vice commander.

said that this organization had no con-
nection with the Ku Klux Klan, but
that Colonel Simmons was chosen for
his excellent ability as an organizer"
Major Lands is the son of Judge K.
NJ. Lands of the Federal Court.
Major Lands further said that no
one had need to fear that the organiza-
ton would be used as a medium of Ku

The selection of man of Simmons
stripe, however, is incomprehensible to
those who expect best results from
such an organization.

ALL GOOD SEATS
in HALF EMPTY
HOUSE "SOLD"
Famous Comedians Own Race
Segregated In One Corner
Of Balcony.

Charges of fragrant and unabashed
discrimination and segregation are be-
ing made against the management of
the Studebaker Theatre, now playing
Bert Williams in Broadway Brew
tiles"
This N spite of the fact that a di-
rect bid is made through newspaper
advertising for the patronage of the
victims of this segregation.
Special Section Set Aside
From the clever way in which tick-
cts are issued to theatre goers with
section has been set aside in the first
balcony for such patrons. At the
performance Sunday night, which was
but poorly attended, practically all
of the famous comedians own race
were huddled together in one section
of the first balcony.
Attempt To Evade Law
Evidently feeble attempt was
being made to evade the spirit of the
law and remain within the letter, when
ii was seen that few ticket holders
of dark complexion were sprinkied
elsewhere in the. house. It was ex-
planned that a few ''presentable" ap-
plicants were given seats in other
parts of the house as sort of an
"alibi."
Empty House "Scid Out"
The determination of the manage
ment to circumvent free selection of
seats was apparent. however, when
prominent physician was denied a pre-
ferred seat on the grounds that none
were left" To the contrary, however,
nearly half the seats in the theatre
were vacant, and remained SO through
out the performance.
Bert The Life of the Party"
The fact that Bert Williams, who
is the life of the show, should tolerate
such a situation, has aroused endless
comment and criticism. 1t is also
rumored that he is part owner in the
company in which he is starring.
Without him the show would last one
night, according to the critics. One
prominent theatrical critic has said
that the name of the production
should be changed to "The Black
Mans Burden" as Bert carries the
weight of the entire show on his own
shoulders.

WRECKERS OF
HOMES YET TO
Be CAUGHT 7
Slight Attention Paid To South
Side Phase of kerr's
Confession.

Chicago vibrated with expectancy
late last week when. with a loud ex-
plosion, it was announced that the
secrets of the Bomb Trust had been
exposed.
One slight reference was made by
Andrew Kerr (white), confessed mas
ter bomber, to the bombing OF eX-
Alderman Oscar De Priests home.
Kerr said that he knew that the
Bomb Trust was in on it, other
than that he had no direct informa-
tion to give. At the same time he was
in possession OF detailed information.
including names, dates and prices paid
for the bombing OF numerous bus
mess houses.
IL was expected that the bombing OF
South Side homes, cndangering the
lives of women and children would
command the immediate attention OF
the inyt stigating authorities. How
ever. nothing more than passing in
terest was given this phase of Kerr s
confession.
Nine men were arrested as a result
of Kerr's remarkable confession. in
voiying several labor leaders, slug
gers and professional gunner. inrind.
ing Cornelius Com Shea. president
OF the theatrical janitors' union,
Kerr's confession was corroborated
by subsequent confessions on the
part OF Harry Bartlett, and James
Sweeny. both white. also known as
professional sluggers
IS yet no direct relief from the
bombing situation has come out OF
TIC exposure.
