I put this question bluntly to a bloc of senators today and they all answered yes" What else could the poor things answer7
 Senators have progressed far from that small boy lack of control when they would have handed out black looks and even jeers to the leggy. pigtailed little girl creature who would have dared to invade their pi rates cave.
 Nevertheless, under the veneer they have acquired since the day of the pirate caves. some remnant of that feeling, call 1t sex antagonism If you will, remains. It sticks out even in those senators who are loudest In lauding the efforts of women who are trying this year to fight their way to the Senate.
 Thus far the two leading feminine aspirants for togas are Mrs. Peter Oleson. of Minnesota, and Miss Belle Kearney, of Mississippi. but there are half a score of others dippin' their timid toes in the political pond to see just how cold the water Is.
 Would Be Polite
 Should any ladies be elected to the Senate during my term of office, I shah try to be polite to 'em." blurted out Senator Moses of New dicative of the general attitude of the Senate.
 As a matter of fact, senators are looking forward to participation of women in the affairs of the Senate without about the same happy an- ticipation that most men look for- ward to '1adies night" at the club, if you get what I mean.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona, begin ming alphabetically, fails to see where the dignity of the most august body" in the world would be lowered by the entrance of woman.
 ''The world has seen some capable queens, Elizabeth and Victoria, of England and Wilhelmina of Holland. Why not woman senator?" he questions. not without some degree of reason?
 Lack of training in public life and even a profound knowledge of public affairs Is not necessary to the suc- cess of woman in the Senate ayers the senator from Arizona. Woman's intuition will balance what she lacks in other ways.
 Senate Changed
 ''The Senate has changed greatly from the Senate of fifty years ago." said Mir. Ashurst. Today, 1t Is crisp. cold and business-like with no time for the poetry and gentleness of life. A women would add touch of life. a flavor of romance to the Senate. Furthermore, she would help to make the senator behave"
 Senator Shortridse. of California, pooh -pooed the idea that women's in- tuition would have anything to do with her success in the Senate.
 Ut takes knowledge to be efficient in the Senate. Work on committees requires a trained mind and impartia. judgment" says he.
 But the senator Is quite sure that there is no sex in the intellectual world and that there are plenty of women with keen minds who would be eminently qualified for the Sem ate.
 It was rather surprising to find Senator Ladd of North Dakota. who has always been a stanch friend of

Wllmington's Seaside Resorts Open With Flourish, lndi-
 eating Gay Season

Wilmington, N. c. June s.-fSpec,ai) The formal summer season atWiiminE- toms premier seaside resort opened with flourish this evening. At Wrightsville beach, east of the city. hundreds of persons enjoyed dancing at Lumina, the splendid dancing pa- vilion. owned by the Tidewater Power company. At Carolina. Mainland and Fort Fisher beaches. a few miles south of the city merriment reigned supreme. Hundreds of automobiles from Wilmington and other points carried light-hearted crowds to these superb mainland beaches, over New Hanover countys asphalt roadway At each of the beaches music was furnished by orchestras and the scv- eral pavilions were crowded with hundreds of couples.
 Never before In the history of Wilmington's noted seaside resorts has there been more suspicious opening. The crowds in attendance the first evening certainly indicated that the southern people, after sev- eral years cessation. due to the war | and to resultant period of business depression. have determined to enjoy themselves this summer. At the four beaches mentioned on this, the open ing evening, there were seen visitors from every southern state. and many | northern and western states.
 Elaborate plans have been mapped out this season to care for thousands | of visitors. At Wrightsviile beach practically 50 new cottages have been built. The New Ssashore hotel. erect ed on the site of the famous old hostelry which was burned during the summer of 1919. Is now ready to receive guests. This hotel has about s5 rooms. Work was started May l and in exactly 90 working days the i three-story building was erected a..- gotten ready for occupancy even tt the most minute detail. A. E. Fitkir and company of New York city. whe have recently bought the Tidewatel Power company. have already ex- pended considerable sum of none,

lI. the women, warning them against running for the Senate.
 They will injure their cause by going too fast" he dissuades. There should be now for women a period of training. It Is better for them now to seek municipal offices, like places on school boards. etc.
 He makes exceptions. however, for the women of his own state, because they have voted for years and have had that training.
 Should He Hardened
 Women should become hardened to political life before they try for such high places as the Senate" he remarked with finality,
 Senator France of Maryland thought that inasmuch as women had to make a start some time, they might as well start now trying to get In the Senate. They are needed there, he declared. Senator King of Utah comedies the right of women to run for offices. particularly the Sem ate. but deplores the tendency. "We need women now in the home more than we ever needed here before. It is lack of homes that is the matter with the world today There are too many apartment houses. too many boarding houses and not enough homes.' The senator does not insist tlat woman's place Is wholly in ths home. but he thinks "back-to-the- home" movement on the part of women would be decidedly beneficial to the race
 "A man will not fight for his boarding house" he says. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts emphasized the point that "a woman has just as much right as a man to run for the Senate, that she was apt to be just as capable as man. and that she should be considered exactly as a man in the Senate"
 Senator DuPont of Delaware de- clared for equal rights, but not pref erential rights"
 l really should have asked Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul to cellaborate on the statement which Senator LaFollette was willing ta have made for him in respect to women running for the Senate. He was anxious to get back on the floor of the Senate to vote on some ques- ton and so he gave me carte blanche to make statement in favor of the proposition 'as strong as you have a mind to, young lady" he said Senator Spencer of Missouri was willing to state that a woman might be greater acquisition in some in- stances to the Senate than a man. Senator Capper of Kansas dis agreed with Spencer on that point He does not believe that a woman can be of more use in drawing cer- tain kinds of legislation than a man But If there is woman within the state who has outstanding ability For public service, she should be elected

CONSOLIDATION OF
 SCHOOLS ADVOCATED

Jackson. Miss. June s.-(Special,l Tn answer to an Inquiry from super intendent of the state of Wisconsin as to the consolidation of public schools In Mississippi, W. F. Bond. state superintendent. says:
 Generalization of schools has been going on steadily in Mississippi for the last 12 years. The first consoii- dation was in 1912, and today there are 6SS consolidated schools. One hundred and eighty-one of those schools have built homes for the teacher. and which are furnished free provided the teacher remains in the community, as a citizen, for the entire 12 months of the year.
 Tn some instances there has been great deal of opposition to consol- idation of schools We have had two or three murders and some houses burned on account of the fiercensss and unreasonableness of this opposi- tion. In most eases, after the schooi is in operation. however this opposi- tion disappears. Of course. all this is dependent mainly on tho kind of teachers you get. or. rather, on the kind of principal you get for the new school.
 Fifty of these consolidated schools next year will have vocational work and agriculture. We have @ agri- cultural high schools that are sup- ported jointly by the state and county"

AMERICAN DAISY
 NOT RELATED ID
 ENGL|SHFLOWER
Emblem of Legion Is Native. Poppy of Flanders Re- jected as Possible Pest
 to Farmers
Ry Associated Press

Indianapolis, June s.-The litte white daisy of the American Legion Is not even a thirty second cousin of the English daisy of poetic tradition writes Walter Pritchard Eaton. author in an article for the Legion, announced by national Headquarters of the organization.
 The American daisy was adopted by the legion as It's official flower after three years of discussion.
 The poppy of Flanders, household word throughout America, was the first choice. They say these poppies grow in fields where blood is shed. They flourish in the English wheat fields about Hastings. whore Will liam the Conqueror beat Harold or England 900 years ago In the last conquest of England. They cover the countryside in Flanders, where the English suffered their severest losses during the World war There was no more than the merest scat tering of poppies in the Argonne and about St. Mihiel. where the Ameri- can doughboys beat back the Ger mans.
 Not Native
 Moreover this poppy Is not native of America After its adoption by the legion it was brought Into the country in considerable quantity, and then some experts put out the infor- nation that 1t was likely to spread so fast as to become pest. The harrassed American farmer came for ward with a protest at once, an nouneing to all the world that he al ready had troubles aplenty with rais- ing wheat for falling market, let alone peoples.
 Therefore the legion in its third national convention last fall chose the American daisy for Its emblem. The choice has met wide approvah It Is a perennial and thrives under almost any conditions. Children ana top sergeants love it. In quantity 1t affords a glorious mass Of lively beauty that cheers the heart.
 Meanwhile the poppy of more scmbre memories has by no means been forgotten. It has been adopted by the American Legion Auxiliary as the memorial flower of the Worio war. The crimson of sacrifice that stains It's petals will serve as lons reminder of the struggle ana the victory.

TIE IRISH SITUATION CONCERNS ENGLAND MOST, SAYS BARNES
British Government, Having Gone Limit to Meet Wishes, Awaits Word From Ire-
 land and Irish People
By GEORGE \. BARNES British Parliament Leader Special Wireless Dispatch to The Ae


 Copyright, 1922. by The Age -Herald) London, June 3.-Ireland remains our main pre-occupation at the mo- ment I am sorry to say that this unfortunate country is making little headway toward settled conditions. One must work and hope for the best but there is no disgusting ugly developments and it is a melancholy fact that there is no peace. and it also Is to be admitted that unpun- ished crimes still are an outstanding feature of Irish life. The fighting in Dublin and Ulster continues un- checked.
 Aimed At Peace
 The agreement between Collins and DeValera was aimed at peace and in the first exuberance of feel ing the claim was made that hos tilities would end in week. But we have not had even a temporary ces- sation of the state war. There has been no improvement in the south and there has been further embit- tered feeling between the north and the south.
 Terms of Agreement
 The agreement provided for elec- tions in Ulster as well as in the south of Ireland. That provision Is sharply at variance with the London agreement and is, in my opinion, a challenge to. Ulster as well as a de- fiance to Great Britain.
 Moreover 1t predicates a reproduc- tion of the Sim Fein assembly in stead of an Irish parliament freely elected. Even if the vote were con- fined to the south it would be con- trary to the London treaty because the new government would consist nearly half of republicans who have openly declared that they will not subscribe to an oath of allegiance such as Is provided for in that docu- ment.
 Ministers Consult
 These things have formed the sub ject of long and anxious consuita- tions between the British ministers and those from Dublin during the week. The results were communi- oated, as you know. to Parliament

Faris, June S-Ine FolncaIe Inlu- istry has entered upon its decline. The only question now Is whether the premier will prefer to drag along through The Hague confer ence or yield his power before the reaction against him sets in In earnest.
 Germany Accepts
 This weeks events caught the gov ernment In a dilemma. Germany's acceptance" of the separations com missions demands officially Is &C., knowledged to be entirely unsatis- factory and yet 1t has been swal- lowed by the quai d'orsay. It simply means Germany will pay if she can borrow the wherewithal. otherwise not. Poincare's acceptance of this proposition amounts to an acknowl- edgment that he believes Germany cannot pay with her own resources and this Is virtual indorsement of Keynes thesis lately adopted by Lloyd George
 Hope Has Gone
 This Poincare, the hope of the strongest group, has gone the way of his predecessors, Mllerand, Leygues and Briand. and Is forced to admit that money cannot be wrung from Germany by anything short of military force. From all in- dications, the majority of the Cham Der has reached the same melancholy conclusion. This signifies that PoinA care. and what he supposedly stands for have become useless and so logic demands that new government be established.
 Five Tnglorious Months
 Poincare has been in office five months and can have two or three additional inglorious months should he so desire, but he probably won't. Present conditions point to Barthou as his successor. He Is man much on the Poincare type, but decidedly more flexible and has the advantage of long association with the liberals of the left" It will be recalled that he torpedoed tho Briand cabinet when Briand was at Cannes by calling the cabinet together and drafting a strong remonstrance against the pro- gram the then Premier and Lloyd George were working out. For this he and certain of his colleagues ob tained posts in the Poincare cabinet. Barthou is not noted for his fidelity and 1t was commonly said that Poin- care sent him to Genoa to prevent him doing mischief at home. At any

rate, Poincare never gave him plen- ary powers but reserved a veto over him and exercised 1t almost daily.
 Genoa Disappointing
 Thus he prevented Barthou-whom brilliant political writer calls "the man with the habit of treachery"- from compromising the ministry and from becoming an outstanding figure at the conference. But there is little satisfaction here with Frances part at Genoa and Poincare Is blamed more than Barthou who followed or ders given from hour to hour over the private wire which linked the French delegation with the quai dorsay.
 Favor Liberalism
 French politics are in state of uncertainty due to the drift toward liberal and paciflctst views indicated in the recent local elections. The present chamber was elected In a pe- riod of patriotic hysteria immediately after the war but in view of the un- mistakabie reconciliation of radical opposition members are beginning to trim their sails and prepare for the 1924 elections.
