Virginia, Mimi, July G. When
Minnesota Lcgionaires gather in
Virginia this coming August, oppor-

all the wonders of the Iron Range
Country.
A tour of some Of the Range
towns by auto and huge barbecue
at one Of the nearby lakes is already
settled feature of the entertain
ment committees program.
A visit to the largest iron min
ing and lumber milling operations

tcresting to those viewing them for
the first time.
The Convention Committee al

SC nor labor in their preliminary

Cloquet, July c. THE drive
against the direct, primary system

Anna Dickie Oleson, first woman to
be nominated for the United States
senate, said today.
owe have government by the
people and cali it a democratic form
of government" she said. eve
need to become more democratic.
The convention system is autograph
ic because it does not give all Of
the people an opportunity to express
their desires. 1t was not the primary
system that defeated New in Ind
ana and Senator McCumber in
North Dakota, it was their records
in Washington including their vote
on the Newberry case. The New
berry case was not the fault of the
primary system. l do not see how
any one can say that the primary
system is not moral system. We
are never forced to do illegal things.
l believe the statement of Senator
New implies that there was corrup-
ton in the Michigan primaries, but
he voted to seat Senator Newberry.
"There was reactionary voting in
the senate that defeated those sem
ators-their own records-and they
are trying to blame it on the prim-
airy system. The people demand pro-
gressive policies in Washington, and
it was their means of expressing
that desire when they voted as they
did in the primaries.

DESCRIBES GIRLS OF
r HUNDRED YEARS AGO

Philadelphia, July 6 Omitted
Press -Pantellettes Neeping from

dangling demurely over the ears
were just as shocking to the matrons
Of 1922 as the prevailing mode of
bobbed hair and knickers are to
conservatives of this day and gen.
Grafton, according to Mrs. Mary
Montague, of this city, who has
just celebrated her Tooth birthday.
Mrs. Montague has lived here
ninety-three years, having come
here at the age of seven from Dub
lin, Ireland, where she was born.
With rosy cheeks and blue eyes
sparkling beneath a halo Of snowy
heair, sshe Icontrasted Philadelphia
Of :yesteryear with the present.
Pantalettes and curls were as
much censored by my parents and
older persons as are the bobed hair
and knickered flappers," she said.
"Girls of today are more capable
than they were in those days. Any
career excepting marriage and estab-
fishing home was out of the ques-
ton. I remember of a girl who went
to a clothing factory to sew pants
"a girl friend and / decided we
would like to do it, too, so we ran
away and went to see if we could.
I hadn't been there more than two
minutes whe nthe manager wanted
to know what girl with fluffy
golden curls could do. l had thirty
five or more on each side of my
head. So you see a business venture
in those days was attended with the
same encouragement encountered
by many bobbed heads in business
today.
"It is wrong to say girls are light
and frivolous because of this. In
reality it is an indication Of progress
sism. Little is accomplished by the
|,ever-conservative spirit that clings
too long to things passed.
81 should like to see girls wear
pantalettes as they did when I was
girl, and, of course, Knockers are
preferable to the extremely short
skirts they wear now
. Many beautiful gifts and congra-
tulatory messages have been receiv-
ed by Mrs. Montague. Among them
was cable from Pope Plus XII. -
