Mrs. Peter B. Olesen.

Well, years ago l saw, as my hus-
band did, that there were many I'M
fortunate and dangerous conditions
surrounding our young girls, many
things which were alarming from
the viewpoint Of a mother, and I
made up my mind to stir up public
sentiment against the existence Of
conditions perilous to young woman
hood. That ambition led me into
womens club work and naturally
into politics after suffrage came.
found that politics interested me in
tensely and found too that it was
easy to talk to people, to interest
them and even to influence them
righteously when you had something
vital to say.
THE reason that American audi

unsound policy, wrong economically
and politically.

American history.

with this material I built my
speeches, talking to good sized
crowds everywhere. Thanks to the
hospitality I received everywhere,
and thanks to the good ladies Of
Minneapolis who gave me MY little

"Of course / do" she replied
briskly. His own record will beat
him. He voted to seat Newberry.

she returned. Minnesota is not
hidebound. The many causes that
made for a Harding sweep in 1920
are not operating in this campaign,
or, rather, the opposite of them are
operating. Moreover. Minnesota is
no longer hidebound in politics.

Is about the busiest little person in
the whole of America.
Still, her work is cut out for her.
Minnesota has had a Democratic
Senator only three times in its his
tory, and she has scarcely an even
chance. The Democratic National
Committee, seeing vast advertising
possibilities, and not without hope of
success, is preparing to aid her
financially and with choice crew
OF speakers. That promise was
made to her by Cordell Hull, chair
man OF the Democratic National
Committee, and by the end of sum-
mer Minnesota may become one Of
the most interesting battle grounds
in the politics Of the nation, with
big guns decorating ever SO often.

Apropos Of the disappointment is

NEW YORK, saturday.
~ EVOLUTIONARY changes in
TX scenic equipment Of the the
alter, as presaged by the ex-
traordinary experiments of Darrell
FYtzkee in Chicago and Nine. Ivan
Boutzovsky in Paris, bring in their
wake hope to the producing manager
of being able to send on tour his the
atrical organizations without seeing
all his profits dwindle in railroad
charges for hauling the scenery nee
essary for modern productions.
The prevailing high cost of trans
portation has prevented many worthy
New York successes from making
tours with a reasonable surety Of
profit to the producers, but now with
the promise of being able to reduce
cost Of transporting scenery by more
than one-half there is a possibility Of
seeing a perceptible increase in the
number of travelling companies next
season.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

The more general use of electricity
is making accidents due 90 1T more
common year by year. The third rail
and tn live wire are responsible for
many injuries and deaths. The ordi-
nary trolley wire carries a current OF
about 500 volts and iEcandescent and
arc light currents run from about
2500 10 5000 volts. The passage o.
these powerful currents through the
body causes dangerous shock or even
death, though prompt action may save
many lives. The person who reScuSeS
another person from contact with an
electric wire must be very careful al
ways that the current IS not trans
ferred into his body There
fore ne must not touch the body of
person touching q live wire or third
rail unless his own body is thoroughly
insulated.
Moreover he must act promptly for

Tipped off with a dry board,-or stick.
In removing the live wire from the
person or the person from the wire, it
should be done with one motion, as
rocking a person to and fro on the
wire will increase the shock and the
burns.
A live wire may safely be cut with
an axe or hatchet with a dry, wooden
handle, or the electric current may
be short circuited by dropping a crow

In regard to the traction bill. Mr.

when the Legislature passed the meas

endeavored to have it amended. "The Sc

Pleased With Commissioners
The Citizens Union was gratifed
by the choice of commissioners made
however he continued. "and is now
more ready to support the Transit
Comm lsslon as it becomes clearer that
inc city administration has no transit
plan except obstinate obstruction."
Inc Citizens Union is opposed to the
Hylan port plan and in favor of the
Port Authority's scheme, he said. and
II may become necessary to take legal
steps to prevent the cty's wasting tax
payers money on a project that has
no connection with existing systems
Of transportation.
Other achievements Of 1921, said Mr.
Schleffelin, were the successful suit
brought by the union to prevent Com

with Chief Inspectors pension and
the nipping in the bud of a scheme
to perpetrate a 'local printing graft
