who spoke, in addition to, Mrs. Gait.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, pleased everyone
by voicing her opinion that "the League
of Women Voters is the largest con-
tribution to home making that h3s ever
been undertaken" She also cohvulsed
her hearers by an account of her re-
cent trip to Belgium, where the papers
had translated the word greatest" as
Largest" and she was heralded every
where as one of the twelve largest
women in America. As a matter Of
fact, she is very slender.

democrat, all primarily concerned with
the common problems of government,
and discussing them gravely and dis.
passionately.
Perhaps you'd like to know some
thing of the southern women who were
on the program. There was first of
course our own Mrs. Jacobs, who pre-
sided at two sessions and whom Mrs.
Park called "the miracle of the national
board" because, every year she comes
up from the south, looking younger
than ever, while the other board mem
bres look 10 years older at each con-
vention." Mrs. Jacobs has earned the
respect and affection of the politically
minded women of the nation, and it was
a real grief to them that she would
not reconsider her decision to give up
her work as national officer.
Another loss to the board of a charm
ing southern woman was in Mrs. FL
lott Cheatham of Atlanta, director for
the third region, whose approaching
removal of residence to Illinois will
be great gain to that state. Mrs.
Cheatham's place as director for our
region was filled by Miss Adele Clark
of Richmond, who combines great abil-
ity as an artist with marked political
sagacity. She was appointed by the
governor of Virginia on the state COM
mission to revise governmental proce-
dure. She is a native of Alabama, .hav-
ing been born in Montgomery, and is
much interested therefore in this state.
Among other prominent southerners
present were Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cum

the idealism Of that wonderful con-
yention. But after all, lit was a work
aday body of practical politicians Of
the new order, keenly interested in pro-
grams and concrete methods of get
ting out the vote. However, it was
all on a singularly high plane. In the
Raymond Clapper and other correspond
ents Of international repute who were
present, there is manifested surprise
at the non-partisan; impersonal, -and
unselfish attitude of the delegates. As
one of them wrote Here was a po-
litical convention actually trying to do
something for somebody else And
this was in truth the prevailing tone.
1t was really remarkable to hear the
reports coming in from the AZ states
represented, of the efforts by every
conceivable means to arouse and edu-
cate the voters and increase their num-
Der; to make efficient the machinery
of government and get out the vote
to bring about world peace to pro-
mote the welfare and education of chill
dren; to reduce the cost Of living; to
foster sex hygiene; to standardize laws
concerning women, and to improve the
condition of women in industry.
The political party aspect was also
most interesting. Every shade Of po-
litical opinion was represented, with
the two major parties largely prepon-
derant. Here were the lion and the
lamb, the elephant and the donky. lying
down together, and black republican

INsuLIN PROVING EFFECTIVE
Death Rate From Diabetes For Last
Year Shows Decline

Death Rate From Diabetes For Last
Year Shows Decline
II is an encouraging fact that the rec.
ords OF so large an insurance company
as the Metropolitan Life of New York
already show a decrease in the death
rate from diabetes, says the Worlds
Work. The decrease is a slight one, it
Is true, "a per cent, but the significant
thing is that there should have been
any decrease at all. For the records
OF three preceding years disclose a con-
tinuous and alarming increase in this
deadly affliction. Moreover, the de-
crease is observable in all ranks of life
that is. among all classes of policy
holders, The Metropolitan does an enor-
nous business in industrial insurance
that is, insuring, for small amounts,
the lives of wage earnkFs and persons
of humble station. Among this class
the death rate from diabetes went up
rs per cent between 1919 and 1922 !;
the decrease of ga per cent noted above,
covers this type Of policy holders But
the records for the more prosperous
groups show a similar decrease. And
among this group the tendency, until
1923, was in the other direction.
There is, Of course, only one explana-
tion for these facts. In 1928 the use of
DIR. Banting's cure insulin, was intro
duced on liberal scale. That is the
only factor in the diabetes situation
that was not present in the, more dis
couraging years. Of.course, further ex-
perience is necessary, extending over
a larger number of years, before the
statemenN can definitely be made that
insulin has appreciably checked the raw
ages of this disease. At least not until
the year 1924 has passed viii any great
encouragement be warranted. At pres
ent the Metropolitan records for only
one hsnth Of E324, January, are avail
able. But here again the decrease con-
tinue. Thus for January, 1928, the
death rate from diabetes per 100, 1000
policy holders was 20.3, while for the
same month of 1924 it was IL. While
scientific caution is desirable, it is quite
apparent that some force is at work to
decrease the mortality in this terrible
and destructive disease.

LEARNS on o. s. LAWS
Some Recent State Statues Are Listed
Nv Tho Manchester Guardian


BY The Manchester Guardian
The laws enacted by the several
states of the United States have al
ways formed a curious miscellany, and
last years legislative output, as re-
Gently summarized by a committee of
the American Bar association, has con-
siderably added to the variety, says
The Manchester Guardian. One of the
principal novelties was law passed in
Utah which empowers judge to keep
a convicted man out of jail, but to
compel him to work for the support of
his wife, or family, or for the benefit
of the person injured by his offense.
The Pennsylvania legislature has
made it a crime to reproduce archaeo-
logical objects with intent to deceive.
In Connecticut it is now illegal to
display clock showing any other time
, except standard time.
Oregon forbids the use in schools of
any historical textbooks that do not
adequately stress the services render
ed by the fathers of the American gov
eminent.
North Carolina has made it a mis-
demeanor to operate a slot machine
: which does not give the same return in
market value each time coin is placed
there.
In Arkansas it is unlawful to waste
oil or gas in drilling, producing or dis
tributing operations.

Mr.. Huddleston declared that there

Labor is told" he said, "that the
high cost of food and clothing is due

worker. II is boldly stated to both

WATER FAMINE Is in
STORE FOR FLAGSTAFF

Water in the Flagstaff reservoir is
getting lower every day. Up around
the. springs vegetation is only about
half normal. Even without pro-
longing of the present drought, water
is going to be very scarce this next
winter and spring before the summer
flow from the sprngs begins. We
can hardly have rains heavy enough
between now and freeze-up time to
save the situation. Fear that the
mills may have to shut down is daily
growing stronger.
The shame of it is that in June
when the springs were running their
fullest, there were millions Of gallons
of water wasted down the mountain
side, both because our pipe lines were
not large enough to carry it to the
city reservoir and the reservoir was
not large enough to hold it. A big
auxiliary reservoir, full now, would
free us from this danger.

SOUTHERN POLITICAL NEWS

Mark Dunbar, editor of Dunbar's
Weekly and little son Jack of Phoenix,
were in Flagstaff few days this
week, coming up, by way of Payson
to Mormon Lake where they spent a
couple days fishing. Mark siren

should have a good road connecting
up at the rim with the Gila county
road SO southern visitors could come
all the way through from Phoenix to
Flagstaff in comfort and make reason
ably good time. In tottin' along south
ern news, Mark advised that there
was a big movement on for Sid

would win. Also that Maricopa
county according to his estimate
would go strong for Heard against
Maddox in the republican primaries.

miles along the Oak Creek read, then
down through the big pines, with an

view from the rim, which takes in
part of lower Oak Creek canyon and
valley and the stacks at the Clemen-

is one of The most magnificent in the

HUNT SYMPATHIZES WITH.
IMMORAL PRACTICES AT.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, SAYS

]. n Gruhl of Winslow, who recent
ly resigned as superintendent of the
state industrial school for boys and
girls at Fort Grant, was a Flagstaff
visitor on Wednesday.
MIR. Gruhl has relaxed not at all in
his denunciation of Governor Hunt,
whom he severely excoriated in his
letter of resignation few days ago,
directly and personally charging the
governor with keeping favorites
employed at the industrial school who
because of atheism and other serious
character defects, Mr.. Gruhl claimed
should be fired.
Mr.. Gruhl told a representative of
The Sun that though he is lifelong
democrat, he will oppose Hunt in the
event the latter is renominated.
Hunt knows, he said, that immoral
conditions exist. AS far as the in
dustrial school is concerned, favorite
employees of Hunts who actually en-
courage those practices tie the hands
of the superintendent and prevent re-
form.
Unspeakable practices common at
the school, when brought to Hunts
attention by Mr.. Gruhl, were waved
aside with the statement that mature
people must have their fun GruhI
says. He further asserts that Hunt
rose with doubled fists and was about
to strike a woman teacher at the
school who denounced him for his
callous attitude toward viciousness
prevalent in the institution, both
among the inmates and many of the
employees of the state.
Mr.. Gruhl is a clean-cut, refined
man, graduate of Wisconsin state
university. While not wealthy, he is
campaigning against Hunt at his own
expense, resolved to see the immoral
conditions in our state institutions
checked and firmly convinced that
they are likely to grow worse instead
of better as long as Hunt remains in
power.
Some of the stories of immortality
related by Mr.. Gruhl and involving
the birth of illegitimate children and
the way the children are disposed of
curdle ones blood If half Of what
Mr.. Gruhl says is true, there should
be a thorough cleaning out at the in
dustrial school. If, as he charges,
Hunt knows of and winks at condi-
tions, Hunt is not fit TO be governor.
