COOLIDGE CHOICE
OF WOMEN VOTERS
Mrs. A. T. Hert Praises
Child Labor Policy.

what the future holds for the
wage Garner and the wage earners
family. is of vital interest to the
women of this country" Mrs. Alvin
T. Hert, vice chairman of the RepuD-
ucan National committee, stated in u
recent interview. Therefore, the
PROMISES of the political parties on
the subject of labor are Of the great
est Importance. When we reflect that
there are eight and one-half million
women wage earners including two
million married women wage earners
who are directly affected by labor
legislation, as well as the wives of tie
laboring men who are interested in
the protection afforded labor, the I'M
portance of the question can be plain,
ly seen.
EVERY woman in America is in
terested in the question of child labor
and wants to see the children of this
country safeguarded during tie most
important years of their lives.
"a fair deal to labor was assured
by the Republican party in its plat
form accepted by the national con
vention in Cleveland. The platform
pledges continued progressive reduc
ton of taxes, rigid economy in govern
ment and promises protection against
undue exactlons.

ITO the Republican party goes the
credit of being the leader in the cam
paign for national legislation to pro-
that enacted the first federal child
labor law" Mrs Hert said. THE Re-
publican platform commended con-
gress for its prompt adoption Of the
recommendation of President Coolidge
authorizing congress to pass protective
child labor legislation. 1t also urged
the prompt consideration Of the amend
ment by the legislatures of the vari-
Gus states.
This law, when ratified, will afford
nationwide protection for child work
erS.
1.-The average woman of today Is
worker She either works to support
herself and those dependent upon her
or she works to make the family in
come buy as many comforts for her
family as possible.
"The last federal census showed
that out of 572 occupations, only 35
did not have women workers. Women
have entered the realm of industry
and they must be carefully protected.
The action Of the Republican platform
in favoring high standards of wage,
working and living conditions among
women has received widespread COM
mendation.
1.-THE election of President Coolidge
and Mr.. Dawes, supported by Repub-
lican congress. will mean continued
prosperity for the average home"

WOMEN OUT TO

Women are getting down to
the business of voting
Statistics show that approx
mately % per cent of the women
eligible to vote, actually voted
In 1920. This means only about
one out Of every four.
In 1920 one state had 3,462, 1873
voting citizens, her total vote
was 2,090,468. What about the
1,372,411 who did not vote?
The women's bureau of the
Republican National committee,
with headquarters in Chicago,
has just issued an appeal to the
women asking them to see that
every eligible voter in their
families goes to the polls on
registration day.
Women are out to round up
the "civic slackers." and this
means men as well as women.

countries and islands, including even
the tropics. But no small number OF
the skins used in the less expensive
pieces, and especially for trimmings,
come from none of these sources, but
straight from our city alleys, furnished
by the lowly and unfortunate little
alley cat.
The majority of our summer furs,
however, are supplied by the foxes,
the Russian sable, the mink, the mar
ten and the squirrel, the smaller pieces
being mainly Of domestic yield.
A great many lightweight and sum-
mer wraps are being fashioned like
wise of fur and require no small guam
tity of skins in their making. These
consist almost exclusively of the for
eign product, such as ermine, Mongo-
liam lambskins, China kidskins and the
humble rabbit.
AS for the furs and the fur coats

Equal Rights for Women

Poor woman! She's gained the right

corridor when he desires to smoke.

she have it? The rule denies her the

It is a natural failing for man.
or a woman, either, to look at the
whole world through the eyes of his
profession. But this leads to narrow
mindedness, for even the best profess
Rions only encompass a narrow sector
o. the worlds interests. If you were
always to associate with persons of
your own profession or members OF
their families this might be all right.
But since you must meet and talk with
others Of other callings it is wise to
stretch your outlook a little or you
will make yourself unpopular.
The army man or the wife OF the
army man regards army officers and
their families as constituting the aris-
tocracy Of the country. Then you meet
a man in the navy or the wife of a navy
officer and she shrugs her shoulders at
the army people. The navy is rather
more exclusive, she remarks College
professors and their families are apt
to regard themselves as more intellec-
tual than other people. They look at
the man in business as possessing In
ferior brains because he has devoted
