WOMEN IN OFFICE

Woman with her vote has done
little to secure representation by her
sex in Congress. Altogether six
states have sent women to Washing
ton, though at present there are but
three members of the House.
AS for state Offices there are two
Governors, who came to the position
by way of their husbands and one of
whom contributes little to those who
look for advantages from women in
politics, she being no more in reality
than the private secretary of her hus-
band. Only two states in the past six
years have failed to have a woman in
the legislature, though the number of
these has been inconsiderable. Six
women have been secretaries of state,
and in Ohio woman is a supreme
court justice.
On the other hand iH local Offices
women have figured to noticeable
degree. In several Of the western
states large proportion Of the su-
perintendents OF education are women
and there is expectation Of benefit
from this change. In offices of record,
where once they really were the head,
they now are in fact; county record
ers. clerks Of court, auditors and in
several instances county treasurers.
Following the natural order Of
things it seems rational to expect
that women, becoming we'll grounded
in local politics and cultivating ca
liabilities in that direction, will in
process Of time-andonot a long time
come to the higher office in in
creasing numbers.

GUNS AND DOPE

There always have been and
presumably for a long time viii be
numbers Of those who may be term
ed irresponsible, even when they are
IN their usual mental condition.
Under the right kind Of training and
experience they may be strengthen
ed mentally. Alcohol interferes with
such development and narcotics
demonize the weakling.
The victim of the drug habit, IN
fools paradise when supplied with
the drug. becomes maniac when
deprived, maniac Of the most
dangerous variety, against whom
society today has little or no pro-
lection. This maniac is driven by
the all absorbing purpose to get
money with which to buy drugs. In
that state of mind the life OF
human being means no more to him
than the life Of fly.
Nerved by the drug weak-willed
morons become killers. as the daily
news reports testify. Facilities for
killing, especially the gun, are dis
tributed in our mails, are accessible
to all with the price. which is not
considerable. May nothing be done
about this? Law would encourage
bootlegging In weapons; the Grim
inal would get the gun in some way
while the law-abiding would be
deferred from such measure of pro-
lection.
On the other hand the record
shows that law-abiding citizens
rarely are able to defend them
selves with the guns they possess
and ways might be provided whereby
the law-abiding need not be denied.
Out Of 1t all some good should
come. Manufacturers of arms could
be restricted, embargo on importa-
ton would also be in some degree
effective The gunman might be
compelled to reveal himself in his
endeavor to secure the weapons and
such restraint over a period of time
should prove effective to consider
able degree.
The National Crime Commission is
undertaking to outline legislation
regulating possession of pistols,
suitable for all States. and invites
cooperation from the War Depart
ment and from manufacturers of
small arms. Something may yet
come of all this.

"Troubadour immunity" probably
saved Arnaut de Mareuil from figur-
ing in a juicy divorce case some eight
centuries ago. Amorous Arnaut
loudly sang the praises of Adelaide,
wife of Roger II, Viscount of Beziers.
Luckily for de Mareuil, troubadors
were exempt from the censor and
punishment usually accorded a cores
pondent and even his love letters went
unpublished in the 18th century.
But if his period saved him from
print, ours does not. Arnaut intro
duced the love letter into Provencal
literature and for this rash invention
he is now remembered. His first ard
ent message to Adelaide is interesting
for the description of feminine beauty
which it contains:
"Your brow winter than the lily,
your gay, laughing eyes, your
straight, well-formed nose, your fresh
complexion whittier and redder than
any flower, your little mounth, your
fair teeth, winter than pure silver"
In short, it would seem that by
flourishing too soon, Adelaide deprived
the movies of potential star.

Perhaps one of the commonest caus-
es is overeating. Since the organism
has a limited capacity for digesting
and assimilating food, exceeding this
limit leaves certain amount of toxic
residue. These toxins are highly ir-
ritating in addition to placing an extra
load on the heaart, liver and kidneys.
1t follows that reduction in the amount
of food eaten is the proper remedy in
such cases.
Alcoholic drinks stimulate the heart
and load the blood with toxins not only
of the alcohol itself but of food toxins
which are a result of the repression
of the digestive process. 1t should be
cut out.
Nicotin and caffein tobacco and
coffee) are the most common of large
list of drugs whose constant use rails
es the blood pressure through stimu-
lation Of the vaso-motor center and
contraction of the terminal arteries.
Overwork is real cause of high
blood pressure. Mental or physical
work causes increased secretion of
adrenalin (the product of two little
glands located on top the kidneys)
and this elevtes the blood pressure.
Some nervous disorders, even pure
ly functional ones, lead to an increase
of bloc pressure.
Lead poisoning, diabetes, and syph.
ills all are marked by more or less n.y.
pertension. During the menopause
("change of life") when the internal
secretions are unbalanced, cases of
high blood pressure are not at all in
frequent.
Tie systolic pressure reaches it's
highest levels, however, in disease of
the kidneys accompanied by hardening
Of the arteries. The vessels should
have a certain amount of expansile
power, so they will expand and con-
tract in proportion to the volume Of
blood they contain. When they are
hardened they quite naturally lose this
capacity for accommodating themselv-
es to the amount of blood forced into
them. Should large amount of blood
