 The membership committee, of which Mrs. Hunter Armstrong is chairman, announces the following new members: :: Mrs. R. H. Mcintosh, Mrs. Ross Smith, Mrs. Clara Barnet+ and Mrs. w. B. Phillips.
 Mrs. Karl Landgrebe, the chairman of the finance committee, asked that all club members send to her, either at her home at Ensley or at the Axis club, any rummage that they have. She thinks that just now she can hold sale at Ensley with good results.
 Mrs. Nesbitt announced that the next meeting of the club will be in the new building. and that later in the season a series of tea dances will be given, as well as other informal holiday parties.
 The club membership is terribly dis appointed that that, on account of the condition of the building, Mrs. John Jemison was unable to conduct her class in current topics. This delightful work will have to be postponed until after the new building is completed, as so many of the club have expressed de- sire to avail them of this splendid course.
 The next meeting will be held on Dec. 29, and Mrs. Erie Pettus of the auditorium committee will be the leader, assisted by Mrs. B. L. HammOn of the house committee and Mrs. J. H. Ray, chairman of the hospitality committee. More than usual interest will be cen tered in the event, as this will be the first gathering in the new home.

k ep Promises fYou Would
 Succeed
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

"There is no use depending on him. He just wont keep promise or an appointment. And this is the last time I will ever make one with him."
 These were the words of a promi- nent business man in speaking of an associate who doesn't know how to keep faith with his friends, heard another man say the same thing about it.
 Before long, this careless person will find that no one will make any en- pagement with him. He will wake up some day wondering what on earth is the matter. He will find himself very much alone in the world. He will think he is very much abused and that every one is wrong and he is right.
 The trouble with this man is that he is the kind of fellow who makes promises but dosen't make good on them. He means at the time to keep them, but he breaks them as lightly as they are made.
 A remedy for this was we'll pre- sented by Abraham Lincoln when he said:
 Before I resolve to do one thing or the other I must gain my confidence in my own ability to keep resolves when they are made
 And when Lincoln made a resolve it was certain to be kept.
 When all is said and done, it is a matter of habit. He who would promise everything and perform nothing soon wears himself out; ; but he who thinks considerably before he agrees te any thing, even though he has to refuse many times, is certain to keep his word. l know men in whom such confidence is placed that their word is as good as their bond. Many time thes meen are forced to go to the bank to bor- row money or otherwise to secure ex- tension of credit. When it is known that they will pay when they say they will, they are rarely refused

BAN ON JAZZ IN JAPAN

Patriotic Societies Take steps Te
 stamp Out American Music
 Speaking of Japan it is interesting to know that there is in Tokyo a general ban on dancing as practiced by Ameri- cans and Europeans. Jazz orchestras have been doing their worst, it appears to lure kimono-clad maidens to dance with foreigners. h&
 At Kamakra, the, summer resort called "Japan'sf Us6pville," there has been a gay season that has aroused the indignation of the strong-arm pa- triotic societies. These vigilantes have stopped the dancing, just as they pre- vented it earlier in the year at the Imperial hotel in Tokyo. The Black Dragons and other orders were aroused by the elopement of Q Japanese girl of distinguished family with a young American and they have taken the mat ter of the dancing mania into their own hands.
 By issuing orders to hotels patronized by foreigners they expect to stamp out custom that, is causing much anx- iety, for many Japanese girls have de- veloped a fondness for all the flapper ways that have been imported by visit ars and by the movies.--Argonaut.

HOME NURSING

<<T WON'T have my child vac b6 cinsted." said the mother who did
 not understand, facing the school nurse defisntly and maintaining ex- sctly that she, and no other, should de eide for her child.
 "Its a filthy business" she de clared. E The nurse looked as helpless as she felt.
 What was there to say?
 The mother said she would not have her child vaccinated, in spite or tns aact that the little town was m tne 'nross of smallpox scare ana aoc.ors "e'e advising wholesale vaccinauon.
 The child sickened and for days ms life hung in the balance.
 It was after his mother, with the memory of agonizing days of uncer, tainty when the Angel of Death had hovered all too near, was recoverlns from a nervous breakdown, that she changed her opinion regarding vaccfna. tion and began to understand to some ertent the importance of vaccination m relation to disease. 4.
 Perhaps she was not altogether to blame because previously she had been more or less ignorant of what vac cina ton actually means.

 Through reading the mother learned that m to the end of the eighteenth century small pox was most prevaien, and widespread disease. Thousanaf died from 1t every year. The mortahtS among children was very great. Today smallpox is comparat'veiy rare.
 This is due entirely to the fact that vaccination has become matter Of re course.

 When a man builds on his stability uf character, he builds strong and this asset stands him in good stear at the most crucial moments. He is the kind of man who never breaks his word with a little child; who keeps all his promises, even in the smallest matters. He is accustomed to doing that which he says he will do, and making 1t an every day affair; it is not difficult for him to perform whatever he has agreed tq do.

 There will be swelling, redness and pain, and in some cases illness and nausea. A sensation of "aching all over" and acute misery may be anti cipated for several days. Glands under the arm or fin the groin may be in- solved and become painful.
 A doctor should see the vaccinated eerson every day and observe the wound, dressing it carefully, covering the wound with sterile gauze and tak- ing all precautions to avoid having the scab knocked off or the vaccinated area injured in any way.
 The vaccinated arm that is kept dry heals more quickly than one that is frequently wet. in bath or other wise.
 Vaccination is safeguard against the inroads of disease and a protection, rather than menace, to health.

FOOD WORKERS
SEND DELEGATE
TO SAINT PAUL
Will Hold Mass Meeting
Tomorrow Eve.

The Chicago branch Of the Amalga-
mated Food Workers Of America de-
cided to send its secretary. Albert E.
Stewart, as delegate to the great
Farmer-Labor convention, which will
be held in st. Paul on June 18th.
In statement to the DAILY
WORKER, Stewart declared that his
organization looks to the st. Paul
convention to set new landmark IN
the march of the American workers
and exploited farmers toward the
emancipation of labor from the
slavery Of capitalism.
One Of the issues that will be
brought to the attention Of the con-
yention by the representative Of the
Amalgamated Food Workers is the I'M
junction which has been used here in
Chicago against the workers with
greater frequency than in any other
city in the United States. The st.
Paul convention will be asked to take
a definite stand against the injunction
and the best method, declared Com
rade Stewart, is to organize the work
ers politically into class party and
dump the capitalist judges who issue
injunctions, and the capitalist govern
ment that backs them with bayonets.
The Amalgamated Food Workers is
now carrying on vigorous organic
ing campaign. 1t is fighting the seven
day week and has for its goal organ
izing the food workers 100 per cent.
A mass meeting will be held at
union headquarters, 214 North State
Street, next Wednesday evening,
p. m. Among the speakers will be
Karl Reeve and T. ]. O'Flaherty OF
the editorial staff Of the DAILY
WORKER.

STRIKE LOOMS OVER C. o. P. CIRCUS

The Republican convention may yet
be exciting.
Great Guns Get Into Action.
Yesterday and today the great guns
of Republicanism came to town by the
score. Famous visitors are here
Nicholas Murray Butler, of perpetual
political ambition; John d. Spreckels
the California millionaire of sugar
descent, sporting a gaudy badge OF
yellow ribbon and gold bear-these
are samples.
Hardly whisper of political rumor
is heard. The only talk is of Coo.
lidge's dictatorship over everything
and everybody. Coolidge is the only
god Of this cold-blooded convention
which is to say, 1t is a goddess con
vention. Nobody else is counted
out loud. Nobody else's picture is
prominent, except the dead or the
good-as-dead past presidents from Ohio
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison,
Mckinley, Taft and Harding. All OF
them dead or-Taft.

the necessary step in the process of
reconstructing society on a Commu-
mist basis.
Comrade Bentall issued the follow
ing statement for circulation among
the workers and farmers in his dis
trict:
"WHY | FILED FOR CONGRESS-"
1. Because the progressive farmers
and workers in the Eighth congress

2. Because | am a worker and a
farmer who understands the condi-

8. Because l want to help get rid of
the wrongs that Cypress us and bring
relief to the people.
4. Because l have had experience
in public life and can present the
problems of the workers in a definite
and effective manner to congress if
given the opportunity.
Next Congress Will Be Important.
There is no doubt but that the next
congress will be the most important
in the history of this country. 1t

MINNESOTA GUTTER REGULATED

executive committee OF the Workers
party, and that before we took action
in making endorsements, you had ex-
pressed your willingness to accept our
support.
Why, DR.. Schaper, this sudden
change, when our endorsement has
been made publicly for over two
weeks?
Has your estimate Of the elements
who compose the Workers party I'M
dergone a change overnight, or were
you insincere in the sentiments which
you expressed to our representatives
when they talked with you on this
subject?
Mass Interests Come First.
In any event, your statement has
demonstrated that your conception of
the St. Paul convention was, that it
was called for the purpose Of promot-
ing the political fortunes of an indi-
vidual, rather than in the interests of
the workers and farmers. You have
also established by your bid for ere
speciality" not only that you are un-
willing to serve the true interests of
the producing classes, but you have
also shown an utter lack Of vision in
promoting your own political fortunes,
insofar as by regulating the conven-
tion Of the exploited masses, you have
isolated yourself'from your staunchest
political support, as June, the 18th,
will prove.
An Organization Of Workers.
How can you charge that the en-
dorsement of the Workers party was
sponsored by your political enemies,
knowing as you do, that our organiza-
ton is composed of workers who have
given the greater part of their lives
to study of social problems, and who
have consciously joined an organiza-
ton which aims to bring into being
a new society where all people will be
compelled to perform some useful
work, where social and economic evils
will be unknown and happy people
inhabit not only these United States
but the whole world, and that the
Workers Party of America is not an
instrument devised to sponsor or dis
credit any individual political candi-
date.
w. p. Withdraws Endorsement.
We categorically deny your spuri-
GUS charge of insincerity and affirm
that our endorsement was given in
good faith, believing as we then did,
that you would continue your support
of the st. Paul convention and of a
class organization of the workers.
Insofar as you are now ON record
against these two proposals we here
by withdraw our endorsement of your
candidacy for governor, and recon-
mend the voters OF Minnesota to vote
for the candidate who in their estima-
tion will support the st. Paul conven-
ton and the immediate formation of
an independent political organization
of farmers and workers on a class
basis.
