Lennister. the gunman, found that his
profession was looked upon with ex-
treme disfavor by the pretty daughter
of Cameron, head of the cattlemen's
association. There are two episodes
in the book, really two novelettes.
The first relates the story of Lennis-
ter's battle with the Bolt Blodgett
gang, and how Connie turned against
him because he shot one of the out
laws. The second tells of Comics
later troubles with rival COW outfit,
and how she appealed to Lennister to
bring badly needed assistance. If the

MANY WINDOWS
BY Helen Woodward.
(Harpers, $3.50.

From the standpoint of any student
of the feminist movement, this is an
important book. Important, because
Mrs. Woodward is in a position to dis
cuss mooted questions with no thought
of the effect upon her own career.
Frankness is a luxury not INDUCED
in by persons dependent on personal
favor for bread and butter. 1t is the
straightforward, unadorned story of
a woman who has seen the business
world inside and out; who has asked
for humble jobs, and who has looked
across a big desk at many applicants
for humble positions in her own bust
ness.
Women who have read Uncle Sam
Needs Wife" and 81 Am Woman
and a Jew" both fine contributions
to the business woman's bookshelf,
should by all means read this one.
Better written than either of the
books mentioned, it is also more valu-
able because it treats the whole prob
lem from the human angle rather than
as a sex question. That is very
healthy attitude strongly recommend
ed to those persons who are inclined
to make an issue of the woman's
place in the sun! There are certain
questions much debated nowadays
which Mrs. Woodward answers out of
a vast experience; do women like to
work for other women-if so, why;
if not, why not?-it there jealousy be-
tween men and women in the same
professions more than among those of
the same sex?-do women tend to
keep petty details of business too
much in their own hands ?-why, why,
why?

Henry Blackstone, writer and pub
fishers reader, had lived forty-fiye
years without discovering the capaci-
ty for feeling which burst suddenly
upon him when he met Anitra Thur
low. Faint STRINGS had warned him
that life was passing him by, that
some people knew more of the JOY
of living than had ever entered his
colorless existence. Henry's wife had
ceased to interest him years ago.
Five years his senior, she was one of
those dull conservatives whose reac-
tons to any given subject are as stan
dardiZed as the parts on a Ford car
and just as exciting to their intimates.
There were three children. Lionel,
the boy, had just burst bomb in the
more or less peaceful family life, by
becoming the father of an illegitimate
baby, and wanting to marry the
mother.
Henry went to see Phyllis. Sturdily
independent, she was not at all the
traditional type of woman wronged."
1t had been her fault just as much
as Lionel's, and she wasn't at all sure
THAT she anu the youh5 hah Souiu
make a go of life together. Her
philosophy of things in general was
different from anything Henry had
ever known. 1t upset his middle-aged
complacency terribly. And in the
midst of this mental turmoil, Anitra
came along.
Faced with the alternative of hurt
ing his wife, who loved him, or Anitra.
whom he loved, Henry went to the
depths of suffering, and there he
found a strange thing. Even suffering
was better than stagnation, and under
the spiritual storm his mind had re-
ceived some impulse from things be-
yond, which opened to him whole
new world of vision.

WILL HOLD CAMPAIGN
TO AID NEGRO HEALTH
Medical Group to Direct Activities
Week of April 3-10-Status
Here Termed Poor.

An educational campaign among
the colored people of Washington will
be conducted during the week OF April
3-1O. as this city'S observance or Ma
tional Negro Health week, move
merlt instituted in 1914 by Booker L.
Washington.
The activities in Washington will
be conducted under the direction OF
the National Negro Medical Assocla-
ton, the officers of the Medical School
of Howard University, and coioreo
civic organizations.
According to DIR. Algernon b. Jack
son, head of the Howard University
medical department, health conditions
among colored people in Washington
are poorer than in most large cities.
The death rate here among the people
of his race, he contends, is three or
four times higher than the white
death rate and even above the NOR
tality rate in other places. Lack OF
education as to means of acquiring
and maintaining health, he believes,
is partly responsible for the condition.
Too many colored people, he said. live
by the Oriental philosophy of fatallsm,
believing that if they are to have
disease - particularly tuberculosis -
there is no alternative.
The health education campaign
program as outlined follows: Sunday,
April 8, mobilization day; Monday,
home hygiene; Tuesday, community
sanitation; Wednesday, child health;
Thursday and Friday, special cam
.paign days; Saturday, general clean
up day, and Sunday, April 10, plans
will be made to carry on the work
inaugurated during the campaign
week.
DIR. Jackson said this morning that
Improvement of health conditions
among the colored race will consti-
tute an asset in the economic welfare
of the United States by lessening the
danger of disease spread and by pro-
viding this country with a better
equipped group of its citizens.

SENATE AND HOUSE
SPEED RUM BILLS
CIoture in Upper Branch as
Lower Passes Whisky
Measure, 200 to 151.

BY the Associated Press.
The House passed the ways and
means committees medicinal whisky
bill yesterday while the Senate,
operating under the cloture rule
which limits debate, drove toward a
vote on the administrations pro-
posal to create prohibition and GUS
toms bureaus in the Treasury De-
partment.
The medicinal whisky bill, which
now goes to the Senate, would per-
nit private manufacture of liquor
under the supervision of the Treas
ury and is intended to replenish
stocks which are approaching de-
pletion.
Assails Bruce and Edwards.
In the Senate, during debate on
the reorganization bill, Senator
Copeland Democrat, New York
charged Senators Bruce. Maryland
and Edwards. New Jersey, wet Dem
ocrats, with doing modification 'irre-
parable harm" by opposing the ad-
ministration's measure. After he
had been assailed by the New Jersey
and Maryland Senators for support
ing cloture, Copeland, who recently
turned to the wet cause, explained
tration's bill and believed in en-
forcement, although he considered
the prohibition law unavoidable.
The customary wet and dry lines
in the House were shattered on the
whisky bill vote. 1t was sent to
the Senate after several hours of
acrimonious debate, by vote OF 209
to 151.
Attacks Made on Mellon.
During the debate repeated at
lacks were made upon Secretary Mel
lon, Representative Howard, Demo
crat, Nebraska, going so far as to
offer an amendment to entitle the
bill IAN act for the relief Of Mellon
and associates" Other members
charged that 1t placed a monopoly
in the Treasury Secretary's hands.
The bill would give the Secretary
of the Treasury authority to permit
manufacture Of whisky "at a rea-
sonable price" in from two to six
distilleries, under regulations pre-
scribed by him.
While no restrictions as to amounts
are placed upon the Secretary, 1t is
contemplated between two and three
million gallons annually will be
necessary to keep an adequate supply
on hand.
Retailers would be required to sell
the whisky at profit not in excess
of 100 per cent and the profit to the
distilleries would be limited to 10
cents a gallon under amendments
offered by Representative w. e. Hull
Of Illinois, a former distiller.
