ButtOn-HOlerS!

New York, Oct. 3O-In the ca
pacity of "button-holers" women will
help elect the next presideh; of the
United States.
That doesn't mean that t,ey will
sit at home and sew buttons on the
pearl gray vests in which their hus-
bands will make stump speeches or
march in parades.
Not at all.
Mrs. ,harles ID. Hirst, executive
secretary of the School of Democ-
racy of New York City explains it
thus:
when Mrs. Jones meets Mrs.
Smith. she will get an affectionate
but firm hold on the latter's new
Chinese beads and, drawing close,
will remark confidentially, My dear,
just what'do you think of The tariff
issue:'
The chances are that Mrs. Smith
hasn't thought at all. Whereupon.
Mrs. Jones explains just how her
party and her candidate will bring
about quite the incest tariff the ma
ton ever has had"
1t is as button-hOlders" or IN per
sonal heart-to-heart talks that women
can do their most effective work in
politics. Mrs. Hirst thinks. Women
ambitious ter political activity should
get into training for such political
saesmanship, she points out.
Not all women can mount a soap
box effectively. and hold =. crowd
spellbouid," says Mrs. Hirst. But
everyone can learn over the back
fence and say to her neighbor.
Won't sou vote for So-and-So?
That's much better than saying. Did
you hear how late Mrs. So-and-So's
husband got in last night?'
This is the work that the men
ward workers have performed so
effectively in elections. They have
been the real factors IN winning po-
litical contests. Women will have to
organize and train for this kind of
work if they expect to get anywhere
politically"
There are two essentials for a
good political "button-holer," says
Mrs. Hirst.
First, knowledge of the subject

Curb Divorce? Change
Human Nature First

Boulder, Colo, Oct. 3O-Divorce?
Well always have it, so long as nu-
man nature remains as it is.
Thus sadly summarizes Justice
Linda Lee after her five years expe-
rience with estranged and quarreling
couples.
Gray hairs and wrinkled face re-
veal the almost completed life of
this woman who still refuses to sue
cumb to age. Every day she climbs
up the steps to her office on the see
cud floor of the temporary city nall
here, where she hears charges by po-
lice and plaintiffs and the pleas Of
prisoners in petty violations tina;
come within the jurisdiction of her
police court.
Since June. 1918, sitter her husband
had been stricken with paralysis.
and even after lis death, Justice
Lee has listened to the tiffs an!
troun es of husbands and wives. She
has married many, on.y to find some
appeal to her later for settlement of
their difficulties. So she concludes:
Laws No Help
Laws will help little in curb;ng
the increasing percentage of di
vorces. Only a change in human n;i-
turt will help"
And there's little chance for that.
she admits.
Most divorces are blamable to
basty marriages." she goes on, "but
/ can see little advantage in laws
which require notice of a week or
more before a marriage license eau
lie obtained. The divorce evil isn't
due so much to marriages on the
spur of the moment. 1t is due mainly
TO marriages of young people. infat-
uated with each other. but who have
not reached sthe stage where they
are ready TO assume the response
b;liiies of marriage. To such as
these waiting week or so before OBJ
tanning a marriage lisence would. if
anything, only add to their fervor and
determination.
"Many young wives tell me their
husbands refuse to take them to

their wives care nothing for their

"The Mill of the Half-gods'' is the fantastic name of one of the most unique settings ever staged-a Pari- sian cafe, which serves as the back ground for one of the scenes of the Paramount picture, White and Un- married" starring Thomas Meighan, which will be shown at the Empress Theater for two nights, beginning to- night
 The setting is quite grotesque and faithful in construction and investi- tude and is said to be faithful re- production of one of the notorious dance hall cafes in the other half of Paris. The decorative scheme is snake and skulls. The chandeliers are weirdly lighted groups of skulls. Over three hundred French types of all classes, tourists and sightseers, dancers, musicians, flower and ciga- rette girls, people the setting.
 JacqueIine Logan, ex-Follies girl who plays the leading feminine role appears as the principal dancer of the cafe.
 "So Long Letty," Oliver Morosco's popular stage success, is the big at traction at the Empress Saturday.
 Whether "So Long Lefty" made Charlotte Greenwood famous, or whether Charlotte made the play fam ous, is a question for conjecture-fn either case both the star and play gained a greater reputation than any other combination ever offered the pleasure-seeking public.
 The screen version of "So Long Lefty" is everything that could be said for it. In passing we can only say it is "some" show-to miss it is to miss a treat.

TENEMENT BOARDER
 CHASED AS AN EVIL

BOSTON, Feb. 15.-The keeping of boarders should be subject to license or permit; it is so much a menace to family life that law restricting the pratice might be ad- visable, in the opinion of Professor George La Piana, of Harvard Uni versity. In the light of his obser- vations in the crowded tenements of the North End district of the city, he said in an address to workers of the Family Welfare Society, the boarder in certain types of homes must be regarded as an influence for evil
 In such cases, under conditions of license or restriction Dr. La Piana said boarders would be compelled to leave houses in which their pres ence constituted a moral or hygienic danger. The small amount of money lost each week by the family as a result could well be made up by the Welfare Society, he added.
 "The greater number of families who keep boarders do not do it as a business" he said, "but merely to help toward paying the rent. The homes are very small, having three or four rooms, one set aside for boarders. As many boarders are kept as beds can be squeezed into that room. The kitchen is usually living room, dining room and kitchen combined, shared by family and boarders alike. The boarders, when they are not working, sit in the kitchen playing cards, while the chil- dren play and the women work around them"
