Women Excel in Raising
Political Campaign Funds

Another evidence of woman's growing
financial power used to further big organ
Zation interests illustrated in the last
national political campaign. More than half a
million dollars was raised by committees o.
Republican women throughout the country
FOR campaign purposes. If ii is true tina;
money talks there is no better proof that
women had a good deal to say in the man
agement Of Republican party affairs in last
years campaign work.
Particularly did New York women excel
in this work of raising campaign funds IT
is estimated that about one-fourth of this
total amount was credited to the women Of
New York State Finding that they could
do things on large scale they undertook
the opening of a national headquarters In
New York. These quarters, in West Thirty
ninth street, are most attractlvely furnished
and the big lecture hall Is well adapted to
the series Of evening lectures given there
by men well known i'm craftsmanship.
This club Is looked upon as a step to
larger enterprise, which 1t is hoped to un-
dertake later and which will on completion
represent ambitious and handsome i
clubhouse as any group Of Republican men
can show In the country.

VIZ OLLEGE Girls Gain Higher Marks
Than Boys" an article puA-
~ lished IN the SUNDAY Magazine
of THE New YORK HERALD OF May 4 was one
that attracted instant attention from ali sec
been received concerning it, conclusions
some agreeing with these and others pre-
senting ideas in favor OF different result.
1t was the object. OF course. ~ THE
HERALD to simply give the compilers Of sta
tistics and deductions TO be drawn from
them the opportunity to present their views
in full and this done. The symposium
thus offered naturally contained diverse
views the subject. which greatly en-
hanced the interest of the article. The
deans and registrars of the leading institu~
tions of learning in the country where both
sexes go for education willingly sent along
the marks which showed accurately how
women stand students in the various
classes and lectures and also at examination
periods and how the men do.
The questions asked by THE HERALD were
as follows:
I'm what subjects do women students
excel men students?
Are women better average students
than men7
3-Do women give daily more time 70
school work than men?
As there a biological reason for
women to excel men at study, since this
Is sedentary?
SIS the usual college course better
adapted to the education OF men than
of women?
FIN the records OF your institution for
the past Ave years have women shown
themselves to be intellectually superior
to men: that is, have they won better
daily marks and passed examinations
more successfully?
Several reports have come in since the
publishing of the article which add weight
to the conclusions drawn from the reports
preceding and hence merit publication an
addendum
This letter came from Registrar Edith d.

tiplying
AT the present time" said Dr. Fisk III
response to inquiries on the subject OF
shoes. the American women are following
a variety of foot sin which Is about the
same the binding habits OF the women
OF China. Americans have long believed
that the abuses which were visited upon the
feet or Oriental women were the sign OF a
non progressive and of almost barbarons
age, and yet il will be found that serious
ailments resulting from the bad treat
ment which the foot or the average Amer
lean woman is receiving.
We cannot escape the fact that a bad
condition in one part of the body affects the
whole organism. Often pains in remote
muscles may be due 10 certain defective
teeth In the same way the injury due to
the crowding and cramping OF the human
toes may be transmitted along the great
nerve trunks through the entire human
organism. The pressure on the toes due To
the pin pointed shoes worn by SO many
women may cause a pain which In time the
sufferer learns 10 tolerate. That pressure
however may be communicated to the sciatic
nerve and cause distress in the region OF
the hip or it may be transmitted to the
back. and the victim will complain bitterly
that she has lumbago or rheumatism. Ma
ture is merely crying out against the sins
of the shoe
"The high heel serves as kind of fulcrom
from which the foot Is precipftated into the
jaws of the pin pointed shoe. The strained
the wearer of the shoe balances herself
causes faults of posture which causes
of many ailments. The foot strain causes
wrenches through the body. Foot stress and
faulty postures may lead to poor circulation

Higher Rate of Foot Defects

classes Of population. the Surgeon-General
states later that the rural rate for Hat foot
was 9s.1 and the urban 12S.
Combining fat foot and pronated foot"
continues the report eve find a rural rate
Of i04.8 and an urban rate OF 1854 The
ratio Of rural to urban is II per cent. Con
stdcrinr the four large cities together we
have an approximate rate OF 144 to the

highest rate III: Chicago comes next With

Thousands of Lives Saved
BY American Women's Hospitals

Isn't 1t a strange inconsistency that
women assume the greatest responsibility
in ife that OF bringing human souls into the
world. and yet balk at suggestion that
they take the treasurership of woman's
organiZation?" remarked a well known So
cety woman interested I'm a variety of pub
H. work. Nevertheless. this is true. and in
most instances 1t Is difficult To induce a
woman to serve i'm this capacity. for women
are most timd about accepting the response
bility of handling other peoples money.
However II may be said 20 the credit Of DR.

Women Set Fine Example
In Economy of Administration

True this is not close corporation of
women. for a few men figure in its list of
officers beginning with Myron T. Herrick
the former and the newly reappointed Am
bassador TO France, as president and Andre
Tardieu. honorary president. Nevertheless
the committee is popularity associated in the
public mind with Miss Anne Morgan, chair
man of the executive committee and the
dynamic factor in its vast achievement of
work and her women associates. many of
whom were active with her in the work of
the American Fund for French Wounded
throughout the first years of the war.
IL would be difficult TO find group of
women who have applied themselves more
assiduously to the task of organization work
in raising big sums for the last six years
than Miss Morgans associates numbering
among others Mrs. Gilbert Montague Miss
Elizabeth Scarborough Miss Maude Wet
more Miss Margaret Parsons Miss Mary
Lincoln Aldrich, Miss Miriam +. Bagden
assistant treasurer; Miss May Taylor Moul-
ton and Mrs. Elihu Chauncey.
This big organization work, which has ma
terially aided thousands of French refugees
representing a large part of the population
~ two hundred villages in the devastated
section, to get a new start in their broken
lives, is under the direction there of Mrs.
A. M. Dixie commissioner in France. Prob
war is more favorably known than the
work of this committee. which stands
model in one thing in particular-economy
in the execution of its work and distribu-
ton of the fund. big corps of volunteer
workers. both here and in France, reduces
the operating expenses of the organization
to a minimum
ii may be said 10 the credit of women
interested i'm big organization work that the
practice OF economy in carrying work
would serve as a splendid object lesson to
men intrusted with the handling of public
funds. This also well illustrated in the
overseas work which was done during the
war and is still being carried on by the
American Women's Hospitals, an organiza-
ton which represents the reconstruction
committee of the Medical Women's National
Association and has handled since the be-
ginning Of its work in 1917 in the neehbor-
hood Of 81 900 900.
