ing of Such Things as Caien-
dars or Clocks.

Calendars and clocks are luXuries in
Albania. The untutored peasantry
know only three periods of time
morning, noon and night, and two sea-
sons of the year, winter and summer.
Days and dates are Sansiirit to them.
Nor have they any conception of dis
tances. When a traveller asks an Al
bantam the distance of one point from
another he never answers in miles or
kilometers. but 1t is half day, it is
two days, il is a week" When an AL
bantam makes an appointment, he Is
considered to have kept it if he comes
within two or three hours of the time
set.
With the absence of calendars, the
people naturally do not know their
correct ages, especially those in the
country districts. In this respect the
women of Albania enjoy an advantage
over their sisters In foreign countries
who guard so jealousy the secret oi
their years. Often the age OF an Al
hanian woman Is unknown even Il

Printing The News

Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is a good deal like preaching.
The gospel truth must be presented
in the form of generalism, or some
fellow will get hit and howl, says a
recent writer. Few persons like the
truth, even in homeopathic doses, if
Il hits them. But while preachers
and editors are criticised for what
they do say, no one thinks of giving
them credit for what they do not say.
Yet what they keep to themselves
constitutes the major portion of what
they know about people. Very many
people harbor the belief that news
papers are eager to publish deTog ga
tory things. Its a mistake. There
isn't a newspaper that could not
spring a Sensat on in the community
II any time by merely telling what
II knows. There is not a Newspaper
that does not keep under the lock of
secrecy scores of derogatory things
which never meet the public eye or
reach the public ear. Deciding what
not to print is the most troublesome
part Of newspaper work. How many
good stories are suppressed for inno-
cent relatives and for the public good
nobody outside a newspaper office
has any idea Of In sOnn instance.

of whether a country should be free
Is whether it can maintain stable

When they hold an election In
many South American countries, the
defeated party gets out with guns

this will happen in that island. But

Wen Be Writing Home

Marshalltown Times-Republican: A
farmer in northern Iowa went back
to Germany. Things did not suit him
here. Also the American money he
had accumulated would buy a great
deal more in Germany than here. He
was dissatisfied and went back.
Now he is sending tear stained
letters wishing he had the farm
again and wondering how soon he
can get "home" to America.
In an eastern city a group of Rus
sian laborers who had saved money
and bought homes concluded to be
free. This country was altogether too
subversive of personal liberty" In
Russia the people ruled. They sold
out, drew their savings and went to
Russia.
More letters. They're broke.
Somebody took it away from. them.
Some of them have been in Jail. One
of them disappeared and hasn't
shown up yet. They aren't enjoying
the Russian liberty as they had an
ticipated. They's aren't working in
the mills, but on the street. That's
the work assigned them. Instead of
meat three times day they manage
to get a little flesh now and then
for SOUP.
We are a great deal like that in
politics. Given a depression created
by causes as natural as those which
make the sun rise and set, we inn
aga.ne that all that is needed to
create universal prosperity is legisla-
ton. We listen to political Lenines
and Trotskys and with them kick
over the beans. Later on when we
are out of beans we try to scrape
up that which we spilled. We 90 tc

Business Knows II Power

advertising as an essential factor
in business is better understood and
more thoroughly appreciated today
than ever before. Business knows its
power, and the consuming public un-
dersfands as never before its econom-
ic value. We have come a long way
since the time when we thought it
necessary to apologize for advertis-
ing. Today advertising has been ell
animated Of fraud and uncleanliness.
1t rests on the creation of confidence
and anything that tends to under
mine the confidence of the public in
advertising is not only doomed TO
failure itself, but what is more i'm
portant is certain to act delecterious-
ly upon all advertising. We are
laying a broad and deep and solid
merchandising foundation in this
country, and we are laying it thru
advertising"

NO WOMEN NAMED
FOR LEGISLATURE
General Assembly Will Avoid De-
Gliding Delicate Question. No
Opposition to Women to
Act as Lawmakers.
WOMEN WILL WORK FOR
AMENDED CONSTITUTION
Statute Probably Will BE Changed
in Due Course of Time-Can
Not be Made Effective
Before 1929.

It appears on the face of the cleo
ton returns that the members of the
next general assembly have beer
saved the embarrassment OF voting
on the question , of whether or not
women elected to the legislature are
entitled TO seats therein.
The two women who were seeking
nomination in the republican pri-
maries for places in the Legislature
were defeated. Mrs. Bessie Farms
worth, of Muscatine county, out for
the senate, and Bessie Ross, of Au-
dubon, out for the house, failed of
nomination.
Up in. Dickinson county Jennie R.
IB. Herbster, Of Arnold's Park, was
nominated by the democrats for the
legislature, having no opposition in
her own party. This is a strong re-
publican county, however, and the
chances of her winning the election
are considered remote.
Officers of the Iowa League of
Women Voters stated that county
officers of their organization will now
work among legislative candidates
for support of the two measures in
which they are most deeply interest
ed, an amendment to the constitution
permitting women to be members of
the legislature, and the Sheppard
Towner maternity bill.
In fact before the primary the
league secured promises and pledges
Of supper, of these two measures
from many Of the candidates. There
appears to be little doub. but that
the constitutional amendment will go
thru, but this must be passed again
in 1925, voted by the people in 1926,
thus making it 1923 before women
could run for the legislature, and
1929 before they could be members,
unless a special election following
the 1925 Legislature should give them
this privilege.
Officers of the league have not yet
determined how much they will push
the maximum hour law for women
now being agitated, which was de-
feated two years ago. This law,
known as make and Minnie" maxi
mum hours and minimum wage, is
not favored by many women work
ers, who claim it will prevent their
putting in necessary overtime, which
is often required, and limit their
earning powers.
