the Berlin circus at an age when
most women refuse to do anything

the famous equestrienne had lost

dead. and her temperance has
brought forth many "reminiscences of
her career from old time circus per-

During the war Frau REM had
not one, but two elephants on her
hands, and she had hard struggle
to feed her pets, which she exhibited
throughout Germany and countries
which opened the door to German
performers during the period of hos
tilities. BY force of circumstances
she had deserted riding for animal
training. Her husbands death left
Frau REM responsible for the affairs
of her son, who was an animal train
er. She bought the son two elephants
in America just before the war broke
out The son died suddenly and
Frau REM was forced to undertake
the work of training the animals,
and they had such intense appetit"S
that often she was compelled to go
hungry in order to feed them But
the elephants developed Well under
her care, and she worked them sue
cessfully throughout the European

Sherman Will Journey
to Colorado.

Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of
tho General Federation of Women S
Clubs, will journey from Washington
10 Estes Park, Colo, to vote in the
coming election.
Since a citizen of Colorado cannot
vote by mail if outside the State,
she said, II feel it my duty to make
he long trip in order to exercise the
right of citizenship. In other words,
I intend to answer the slogan, Vote

On leaving Washington Mrs. Sher-
man will go TO New York City to at

ments committee for the conference
IN the cure and cause of war. This

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Mrs.
sherman has planned the annual
foard meeting of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs SO that
club women from every State on the
board will be able to attend the con-
ference.
Hard to Find Cure for War.
You will have to dig deep to find
a cure for war, in my opinion" said
Mrs. sherman before leaving Wash
iucton. Il believe we will have to
get into the mind of the alien family
to see what is the matter The think
ing operation of the alien family
should certainly give us Il clue as to
what the people in Europe are think
ing about. Education week comes
on November II, and the American
people certainly need education along
these lines.
Something is wrong. not only with
the alien, but the native family, when
only about 30 per cent of the voters
20 to the polls in this country. That
is why I have placed before PreSi-
dent Coolidge the suggestion for a
committee to inquire into American
family conditions.
The American people should know
about the unpublished facts in the
last census-unpublishe because of
the lack of funds. These facts would
answer such questions as: What is
the immigrant doing? Are his chill
drcn wage-earuerS? Does he own
his own home? Does he plan to be-
come a citizen? Does the immigrant
aim to attain our standards of liv-
ing?
Suggestion to President.
Il have suggested to President
Coolidge an unsala ried committee of
citizens to get t the proposition of
the best way of absorbing our alien
population into tho ranks OF Ameri
can citizenship. In my opinion, an
uRhampered committee of men and
women who realize the Importance
Of this question is best fitted to get
results. The executive committee of
tho general federation ccn"iders this
ono of the biggest jobs before the
country today.
On her way to vote Mrs. Sherman
will stop at Kansas City October %
to attend the meeting of the Missouri
Federation of Women'S Clubs. After
voting A Estes Park she will go to
Amarillo, Ten, for the Texas fedora
ton meeting November II. There
also will be stops at Dallas and Fort
Worth. She then goes to Louisiana
for the State federation meeting No
vember Il, which inaugurates Edu-
cation week. The annual board meet
ing in January will be one of the most
important in the history of the fed
