Finery And Fast Living
Held AS Curse To.
Women

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Finery
and fast living are undermining
the nerves of many young
women, said William Gaul, COM
missioner of charities in Yon-
kers, in announcing plans for
the establishing OF q mental
clinic in that city. He said:
Young people marry, see
their neighbors with automobiles
and fine homes, and try to imi-
tate them on small incomes.
They buy motor cars and furni-
,ture on the installment plan,
and then something happens.
"The income is cut off. The
woman suffers more than the
man. The strain of the finan-
cial setback quickly affects her
mind, and mental treatment is
necessary"
Gaul said the three underlying
causes of poverty were impr0v-
idence, sickness and unemploy.

KEEP COOL-From now until election of course
the political pot will seethe We shall hear of plots
and counter plots, of charges and counter-charges.
We shall experience efforts to frighten us into
one line of action or cajole us into another.
Now is the time for us to get out our thinking
caps, dust the moths from the warp and wool, seek
a clarity of vision and a calm analysis of those is
presented that may affect the business Of the
nation so that we may not be led down blind al
leys because brilliant orator draws a red her
ring the trail for after all the nations
growth and the happiness OF the people always is
in proportion to the material prosperity of the
nation.
There is no necessity to allow national cleo
ton to upset business if the people retain their
poise. True the average is a partisan, but he
has grown out of being led to sacrificing welfare
solely for party victory He is partisan nova
days because he believes his party will best serve
his country He knows while one set of party prin-
pies may be better than another that the advence-
ment Of America does not depend on any party
but upon the honesty and industry of the people
and because the American people are in the main
honest and are in the main thrifty and ingenious
The man who bets against America under any
party rule is foolish and bound to lose. So let us
believe what we will and vote as we want, but
stand as a unit for America
