WOMEN Of NATION

Only Six Women Nominated For

Bv cHARLEs P. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. = The
National Woman's Party is not at
all satisfied with what the political
groups generally have given to wo-
men in the way Of candidates Of
their own sex for the coming cam
paign.
The National League of Women
Voters is non-partisan, but it de-
precates the idea of any party
alignment in the country accord
ing to sex. The women's organi-
cations of both the Republican
and Democratic camps are working
to bring women to the support of
their respective tickets. Among
the Frogressives men and women
are acting more completely in part
nership than at Republican or
Democratic headquarters. Pro
gressive women also, however, like
the others, are opposed to sex
groups
But the National Woman's Party
leaders have taken the position all
along that women must "get to-
gether" if they want to accomplish
much.
The recent primaries, they say,
have proved this conclusively.
Miss Alice Paul, the party's vice
president, points out that, through
out the whole country, COMPRESSION
al nominations have gone to only
six women and these only in three
states,
"The Democrats" she says
''have given no woman nomina,

He was not a bad boy with vicious
habits. He had simply wasted his time
foolishly, thoughtlessly, with silly girls
and purposefess, lazy boys. He had
meant to work, to do the job assigned
to him, to change his methods. There
was still plenty of time, he was sure,
in which to fix it all up; and then he
awakened suddenly to the fact that he
was badly in debt, that his work had
not been done; temptation came, and
he was not quite honest, not quite
square; he had stolen to make good
his obligations.

"your penalty falls more heavily

a father wrote only this week, than
upon him" This doesn't seem fair,
but It's true and it is the way of the

alore."
1t Is a fallacy of youth, also, to de-
ceive himself into believing that one
can eTade paying the price of loafing,
and iaziness, and Neglect of obliga-

ton. One always pays heavily. If
there is delay in the rendering OF the

he ultimately will be, generous inter-
est will be added. There is no es-

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL.
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
90, 1924 Western Newspaper Union.)
FRESH AIR DOESN'T COST
ANYTHING

GENERAL years ago the superin-
~ tendent of a large, new hospital
invited me to visit his institution.
The building had been erected with
out regard to expense and contained
every improvement that ingenuity
could suggest and that money could
buy.
We went over the building from top
to bottom. He showed me the large,
sunny wards, the beautiful private
rooms, the wonderfully equipped and
Immediately clean operating rooms.
the sterilizing rooms, the kitchens,
the pantries, the storerooms, the
heating plant, and all the other Won
derful devices which the building con-
tanned Last of all, he took me to
the basement to see the ventilating
plant. An elaborate and expensive
system had been installed. by which
the outside air was drawn in by re-
volving fans, purified, washed and
cooled, and then distributed through
out the building by a system of ven
tilating pipes.
He said, with this equipment, we
can pump pure air into every room
and provide plenty of pure, fresh air
for every occupant
| said. That's wonderful system.
Is it going to work?" He replied, "Of
course, it will work. The company
which installed it guarantees it."
Two years later. visited the same
hospital. Going into the first room, /
noticed that the window was wide
open. l said to the superintendent,
"What have you got that window open
for?" ITO let in fresh air." he re-
piled. / said, whats the matter with
your ventilating system?" He said,
"Oh, we gave that up long ago. When
we want fresh air, we open win
dow"
This experience has been confirmed
by the New York commission of ven
tilation, which made a careful study
of ventilating systems in school
buildings, hospitals, assembly halls
and public buildings, and found that
the best way to ventilate room is
the old-fashioned way of opening
window. The report says. while
well-devised and controlled systems of
fan ventilation with closed windows
were found capable Of producing ex.
cellent results, certain characteris-
ties inherent in this method made
them definitely inferior to window
ventilation"
Ventilation was not difficult prob
lem in the early days. The log
cabins and primitive frame houses
had abundant cracks in the walls, the
floors, and around the doors and win
dows, through which fresh air could
come The large, open fireplace with
a roaring log fire created draft.
The fresh air came in at the cracks
and the foul air was swept up the
chimney.
But the best form of ventilation is
still the open window. A screen or
a glass defector in front of the win
dow prevents direct drafts without ex-
Guiding the air.

Trust Fund to Care for
Legionnaires When Old

Against the day of forgetfulness,
the American Legion of Minneapolis
is making preparation.
Against the time when the Legion
naires are old and few and interven-
ing years and events have crowded
out of the public mind the service Of
1878, the Hennepin county central
committee is proposing to set up a
100000 trust fund For the aged
Legionnaires of the future who may
have suffered "the sings and arrows
Of outrageous fortune" and must turn
to a new Minneapolis that does not
know them, the young Legionnaires
of today propose to make their $751;
coo Poppy day trust fund, nucleus
Of a much greater foundation.
E. G. Nicholson, commander of the
Hennepin county central committee,
stated recently that a first campaign
for the additional fund may be waged
this fall. Only the interest from the
Poppy day fund Is now disable, and
the new fund likewise would be held
in trust with only the interest avail
able except in most unusual cases,
and then only on virtually unani-
nous vote of the Legion.
In the end, when the last Legion
naire had died, the trust fund would
go to the Minneapolis foundation.

LONDON'S IDEA OF
LEGION BASEBALL

A recent baseball game played by
members of the London post of the
American Legion brought forth the fol
lowing comment In the London Daily
Herald:
"That the American Legion should
have chosen the Chelsea football
ground for their baseball rendezvous
reflects their sense Of propriety. The
game should be called 'glorified round
ers.' One ceases to wonder why the
adjectives fierce and husky are so
popular In the American vocabulary
after witnessing ball game
"To the uninitiated the most unfor-
tunate man on the field seems to be
the club-swinger. He goes in carry
ing club not unlike pick handle.
No sooner has he taken up his position
than the catcher behind him, feeling
comparatively safe in mask and
breast-protector, tells him what a
bloody, decomposed player he is, and
the pitcher who delivers the ball, be-
ing well out of reach of the club, keeps
up a continual stream of unkind re-
marks, at the same time executing a
kind of war dance, and ends by slug
ging the ball at the club-swinger as
hard as he can throw 1t.
"Then the spectators join in. Should
the club-swinger slug the ball out OF
the grounds and run round the three
bases, all his sins are forgiven and he
is sure o-getter,' but should he miss
the ball altogether he is a 'wall-eyed
mutt and advised to borrow a door or
get pair of 'horn-rims.' This unfor-
tunate club-swlnger has many ways of
escape He can be thrown out, run
out, caught stealing or talked out.
Many times the pitcher tries to knock
him out by hitting him with the ball
1.-The 'top-notch' club-swingers in
America are reported to draw salaries
equaling those Of English cabinet min
listers. This may be due to the cost of
life insurance premiums"

WHOOPING COUGH is
NO JOKE

WHooPING COUGH is generally
regarded as one of the mildest
and least important of children's dis
eases. 1t is often regarded almost as
joke Sometimes mothers, ignorant
of the danger, deliberately expose
their children to it so they can get it
and have it over with"
But whooping cough is no joke, as
most mothers and all doctors know.
Any disease which kills one-half of all
the babies under one year which take
it is rather a grim joke. During the
second year 81 per cent die. Between
the second and fifth years Is per cent
die. Over 80 per cent of all cases and
about 81 per cent of all deaths from
whooping cough are in children under
five years old.
The great danger is not in the dis
ease itself but in the pneumonia that
often follows it.
Whooping cough is caused by germ
which grows in the lungs and throat.
When the sick child coughs. it throws
out drops of moisture which contain
quantities of these germs. The well
child breathes them in and in from
seven to ten days develops the dis
ease. 1t can also be carried from the
sick to the well child by slate pencils,
lead pencils. apples, candy, especially
all-day suckers, gum or anything else
which is passed from one child to an
other.
The symptoms are those of an or
binary cold with slight cough and
fever. Soon the cough changes to
the peculiar ''whoop" from which the
disease gets it's name. This is due
to the choking up of the throat with
mucus. There may be half dozen
or as many as forty or fifty of these
spasms in twenty-four hours. The
disease usually lasts for about six
weeks but may last for four months.
The danger is in the pneumonia which
may develop in the weakened child
and cause speedy death.
Whooping cough is dangerous dis
ease. Don't take any chances. Keep
your child away from children who
may have it. Don't let it play with
infected children If your child does
get 1t. protect it from cold and ex-
posture until the disease has run its
course.
