BRITISH PUREFOOD
BILL RAISES ISSUES
Ban on Pfeservatives Caus-

Refrigerators.

LONDON. December 2S.-Neville
Chamberlain, the minister Of health,
has his hands full of new problems
which will confront the government
on January 1, when regulations pro-
hibiting or restricting the use of pre-
servatives in food become effective.
The fight against preservatives has
been waged here for years, the dis
pute centering around the use Of boric
acid instead of benzoate Of soda, as
was the case in the United States
when the pure food bill was up for
discussion in Congress.
In consequence Of the new regula-
tions there has been boom ins re-
frigerators. AS compared to their u.s.
age in the United States, these con-
trivances are almost q novelty here.
except in the homes of the wealthier
class.
After January 1 the use Of pre-
servatives will be prohibited or regu-
lated in sausages and sausage meat,
fruit and fruit pulp, dried fruit, nom
alcoholic wines, cordials and fruit
juices, jams, sugar, beer and cider,
alcoholic wines, mineral waters and
ginger beers, coffee extracts, pickles
and sauces.
July next preservatives will be
totally prohibited in bacon, ham, and
egg yolk, and in 1928 no preservatives
will be allowed in butter and cream.
Dealers havp bitterly fought the
regulations on the ground that they
will lead to an enormous waste OF
.perishable foodstuffs, and consequent
ly to higher prices.

NEW YORK. December 2s.--Alan.
son B. Houghton, Ambassador to Eng.
land, who is home on holiday leave
has the role of defendant in mysteri.
GUS litigation. The plaintiff in a $50, ,000
suit for false arrest is a woman whom
he denies knowing.
Dorothy A. Mason has obtained per.
mission from Supreme Court Justice
Cavegan to serve papers on Mr..
Houghton by mail because she has
found it impossible to serve them on
him in person.

Mrs. Mason claims that a deputy

ton landed "sur1'eptitiously under the
protection Of police and secret agent +"
the saummors could not be served.

END Of FEMINIST
CRUSADER IS SEEN
Women Advised to Drop Sex
conscious Ideas and Get
Down to Work.
By the Associated Prosf.


NEW YORK. December 27.-A plea
that women who desire to make
themselves felt in politics next year
take New Year resolution to drop
feministic and sex-conscious ideas
and get down to work" was voiced to-
day by Sarah Schuyler Butler.
Miss Butler, daughter Of Nicholas
Murray Butler, president Of Columbia
University, is vice president Of the
Republican Woman's State Com
mittee.
"The day Of the feminist crusader
in the United States is definitely
over" she said, land the only way
now for women to function fully in
the political field is for them to start
at the bottom and learn the game
from the ward canvassing stage on
up.
Getting Into Conferences.
There are only two ways for a
woman to get invited to important
political conferences. One Is for her
to be so influential that she is neces-
sary, which is unlikely, and the other
fidence in her political judgment.
Women need practical experience in
the chores of ward and district work.
and they should be judged only by re-
suits, as men are"
Miss Butler said there is a great
need for women in politics, and they
are taking more interest every year.
They do detail work painstakingly,
and she has observed they are capable
Of great loyalty. Frequently, she
added, they are likely to consider
politics the main interest of life and
not as only one of the necessary ele-
ments of being a good citizen.
ITO devote the whole Of ones life
to politics." she said, "is to warp ones
point of view. Yet we find that If we
don't keep our women workers busy
between campaigns we lose them to
other organizations, other drives, cam
paigns and movements, which will
make use of their surplus enthusiasm.
Party Loyalty Stressed.
"One of the greatest lessons which
women should learn Is party loyalty.
Women should realize that the two
party system, with all it's faults. is
the best instrument to date for demo
cratic government. Unless the people
have parties, which it can hold re-
sponsible, as 1t would an individual,
the result is something like Mexican
chaos, or Kaleidoscope ministries. as
in France.
And, in working for a party, a
woman binds herself to abide by the
will of the majority in the organiza-
ton.
"Non-partisan organizations COM
posed only Of women are as out of
date as the suffrage movement"
