500 ATTEND OUTING
OF VISITING NURSES
Tired Mothers and Children
Take River Trip Through
Cooperation OF Star.

Leaving the heat and humidity of
the city behind them, 900 mothers
and children-many babes in arm
boarded the steamer Charles Macal-
ester as guests Of the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society and The Star
and journeyed down the Potomac last
night for three hours of cool breezes
and freedom.
A pleasant surprise for the party
was afforded by Frederick Mertens,
Jr, one Of the operators of the Charles
Manchester, who, after a visit through
the ship shortly before she slipped
from her dock at the Seventh Street
wharf, ordered that the steamer make
an additional hours run below Mar.

on the outing were patients or former

Unlike The Star outing of last Fri

were too small TO display much ap-
probation of the Potomac. But there
were smiles aplenty and real content
ment demonstrated in the perYading
good nature of the crowd.
Inc youngsters peered with open
mouths Into the engine room of the
SS.year.old steamer. watching with
amazement the gyrations of the great
driving shaft of the side-wheel ma
chinery. Others curled up on canvas
stools or the leather-cushioned seats
of the aft cabin and some were soon
lulled to sleep by the river breeze and
motion of the boat.
"A heavy shower threatened as the
ship neared Marshall Hall, but no
rain fell, and the storm, which was
perhaps remnant of the hurricane
that swept the lower Atlantic coast
line. conspired merely TO make the
outing cooler.
And Then the Ice Cream.
At Marshall Hall the few regular
passengers aboard went ashore and
then six kegs Of ice cream for the
children were opened. There was
enough TO satisfy the last member
of the party and the crew besides.
The Charles Manchester locked at
the wharf here at II o'clock. all pas
sengers safe and happy, though many
of them were sound asleep.
The nurses making the outing were
Misses Agnes +. Davis. Grace John
SON Helen A. Jordan, Mary r. Stone,
Florence Lentz, Rebecca Sweeney and
Margaret McAlpine. The outing was
planned by Miss Gertrude Bowling,
supervising officer of the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society, in cooperation

PAUL SMITHS. n. Y, July 81
ITO be beaten by Brokhart!" this was
the recurrent phrase which the late
Senator Albert B. Cummins carried
to his death as the unforgivable re-
proach bestowed on him by the people
of Iowa after % years of public sery-
ice.
It represented no personal feeling
toward Col. Brookhart, but deep
disappointment that as between
meritorious public service along liher-
al-conservative and experimental
lines, the voters of the State should
suddenly reject experience and
choose a newcomer of radical
thoughts.
Few men can understand political
defeat if they have been faithful and
loyal servants of their constituencies.
They do not see the turn of the tide
In opposite directions MIR. Cummins
was warned that his State was grow
ing radical on the subject of farm
relief He veered to the economics
of the corn belt organizers slowly,
but too late, and there were some who
questioned even his eleventh-hour
switch to the McNary- Haugen bill.
Saw Wider Revolt Coming.
1t was a sincere effort, however, to
understand his constituency and
there is little doubt that the more
he studied the subject the more con-
WINGED he became that the primary
election which sent him to his defeat
was symptomatic of even more ex.
tensive political revolt against East
ern Republicanism.
Senator Cumnins had no inkling OF
death, nor did he have any of going
into complete retirement. Only
few days ago this correspondent re-
ceiyed a letter from him discussing
his plans to write a biography. Under

"You cannot legislate prosperity

Government has done much for

cember Ordinarily. the new Senator
from Iowa, whether he is Col Brook
hart, the Republican nominee, or
Claude Porter, the Democratic candi-
date, would not take office until the
regular session of December, 1927.
Now both men probably will seek to
have their names placed on the bal

term of Senator Cummins, so that
whoever is elected in November next
will take his seat in December of this
year.
Loss to Conservatives.
Col. Brookhart-s detection from the
ranks of the regulars Is well known
and, of course, If the Republican
voters of Iowa should support Mr..
Porter as they did Daniel Steck, the
present Democratic Senator, the loss
to the Republicans in the Senate
would be inevitable. Either way,
President Coolidge loses a stanch
supporter and the margin of safety
for the conservative Republicans is
reduced.
In a short session of Congress this
may not be as important as in long
one, because a minimum of legislation
probably will be sought by the admin
simultaneously appropriation bills
and matters on which non-parttsan ac-
ton can be assured.
