AGAINST DOUBLE STANDARD.
Candidate for Congress Says He Wants
National Equality Law.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 25.-Bonus,
tariff and the farm bloc will not alb
serb all of Sheriff Winifred e.
Robb's time If he is elected to con-
gresS from Iowa.
Des Moines' preacher sheriff, and
former fighting chaplain of the 16sth
Infantry, Rainbow division, declares
he will work to have the laws which
support the double standard" OF
morality amended so that the man as
well as the woman will be held equally
responsible.
Some of Sheriff Robbs' statements
on the question follow:
A lewd man is worse than lewd
woman.
why are women sent to prison and
men fined for the same crime?
There should be no double STAN
dard; laws should be made to pre-
vent 1t.
Recognition of tn. guilt OF both the
man and the woman should be made a
national law.
One incident showing the present
method in dealing with the situation,
related by Robb was that of a taxi
a girl, who received a fine while the
girl was sent to prison.
Sheriff Robb sprang into national
prominence last winter when he re-
signed the pastorate of his church
here because he was expected to spring
the trap on two condemned murder
ers. He declared that a man could
not take the life of another and re-
main in the ministry. A stay of exc
acting as executioner.
He was nominated to the lower
house of congress from the Seventh
Iowa district on the Democratic ticket.

A White Christmas

Every youngster who has written
to Old Santa fot sled is praying
to wake Christmas morning to
find a snow-covered World. And
grown-ups whose hearts are still
young get a thrill as Mother
Carey picks her chickens and
sends the snowy feathers to drop
softly on the old earth, covering
drab streets and ugly corners and
turning everything into fairy
land of sparkling diamond dust.
Christmas is for remembrance
the time when to the old the past
is entwined in the fragrance of
Christmas greens-the time for
the remembrance of those to
whom Christmas belongs-Chil-
dren-rich and poor, the well, the
sick, the crippled. And it's the
time for covering all heartaches
gently as the snow covers the
earth and magically hides its
scars Under mantle of white.
The Knickerbocker Ice Company
where hundreds of great blocks OF
sparkling Ice make it always A
White Christmas, hopes that the
youngsters will get their blanket
of snow. and wishes everybody. big

DOUBTS SHAMOKIN TALE

William II. Wood.n, State Fuel Adj
ninistrator, predicted yesterday that
within three weeks buckwheat coal
will be SO hard to get that house
holders, whether they like 1t or not,
will have to burn soft coal.
The fuel chief was commenting upon
a news dispatch from Shamokin, Pa,
printed in an afternoon newspaper. It
represented that certain anthracite
operators were about to unload upon
the market at handsome profit to
themselves 10000 tons of buckwheat
fuel dug out of the cul1n- banks or
mine dumps and that they were with
holding labor from the mines in order
to load and ship this stuff from the
old dumps.
"If anybody has 10000 tons OF
buckwheat, dug from the dumps or
from anywhere else" commented Mr.
Woodin, II hope they'll sent it along.
1t is not great quantity, but 1t Will
be useful
Doubts Mine sI<impinE.
1T do not believe 1t is true that the
output from the mines Is being skimped
to enable more men to load cars from
these culm banks In order to meet the
increasing demand for buckwheat coal.
Statistics do not support such a suppo-
sition, for anthracite Is now being mined
In larger volume than ever before and
its rail movement from the mines also
is more rapid than last year or any other
year in the history of the industry. Fur
thermore. I think the anthracite culm
bank resources were pretty well cleaned
up several years ago. notably during the
war.
within two or three weeks buckwheat
is going to be hard to get. IL not impos-
sible. Your next best available substi-
tute then will be soft coal and coke. We
all will have to burn some soft coal be-
fore we're through this crisis. and for
the householder that is difficult propo-
sition. The wise thing to do, then, as
it seems to me, IS to buy some soft coal
and begin using II now while the weather
is comparatively mild, saving your an
thracite for the pisch when we get down
to zero tempere lures
The Pennsylvania Railroad lent to its
subsidiary. the Long Island Railroad ten
locomotives yesterday In the hope of
clearing away the freight blockade. In

cars, that has been congesting It's tracks.
Sixty cars remain on a siding along the
Neck road and several hundred cars.
many of them coal laden. were reported
tied up either at Sands Point or Port
Washington. Scarcity or available loco
motives was named as the excuse. Ralph
Peters, president of the Long Island
Railroad said full forces would be
worked to-day and tomorrow. and that
with the help OF the ten locomotives he
hoped TO clear up the situation by SUM-
day night. Sixty cars were moved yes
