ELDERIS
ILL AT LISBON
Suffering From In

Ankle Dancing

LISBON. Portugal, Oct. 26.-tP)-
Ruth Elder. American aviatrix, is
suffering from influenza and has TAX
en- to bed. She is in need of COM
plete rest and her departure from
Lisbon for Madrid, enroute to Paris,
has been postponed indefinitely.
A plane for her and George Halde-
man, her co-pilot, was made avail
able by the Royal Spanish Aero Club.
Several Portuguese military aviators,
headed by Major Sarmento Beires.
who made a flight over the South
Atlantic this year, decided to accom-
pany the Americans in the 800 mile
flight from the Alverca airdrome.
Ruth danced her way into the
hearts of the Portuguese on her ar
rival when She appeared at a ball
with Portuguese sash wound
around her. In moving about the
deck OF the Lima which brought her
here from Horta, Azores, she sprsin-
ed her ankle. She moved with no
noticeable limp, however. and in the
excitement Of her arrival and recep-
tion forgot her injury.
Police had been thrown about the
pass and receive the welcome greet
ing of the president. A group of stu
dents broke through the police lines
and spreading their cloaks upon the
ground. paved a way for the pretty
little heroine. She was rescued FROM
her admirers with difficulty and
speeded 10 meet President Carmona.
The incident moved Miss Elder
deeply and the welcoming crowds,
by their cheers, voiced their approval
Of the students gesture.
Ruth when she landed was still
dressed in her knickers ard short
sweater. On her head was the sea-
going cap of Captain Coos of the
Dutch tanker Barendrecht, which
snatched her from the seas several
hundred miles from the Azores. So
dressed. she and Haldeman went be-
fore the president who praised their
gallantry and expressed delight over
their rescue and their visit to this
country.

Critic of Navy Meth
DDS Is Relieved
OF Command

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.-CR
The future status Of Rear Ad-
miral Thomas P. Magruder, critic Of
navy methods and professed advocate
of widespread economies in naval ex-
penditures, remained in doubt today
following notification from Secretary
Wilbur that he had been removed
from command Of the fourth naval
district.
Surprise was rife among navy men
here, especially in view Of that fact
that the affair created by the ad
miraI's recent magazine article had
been declared a closed incident by
the secretary himself. The opinion
was advanced, however, that Magru-
der's subsequent actions had aroused
the ire Of the department head and
that his detachment was an act OF
discipline.
Meanwhile. Admiral Magruder
awaited at Philadelphia the arrival Of
his successor, asserting that ne would
expect a thorough explanation and
preparing for a trip to Washington
in response to summons from Secre-
tary Wilbur.
He said the secretary's notification
which reached him last night came
~ a distinct shock" that he was
much attached TO his present post
and had hopes to remain for his full
tour Of duty.
II don't know why / have been de-
tached," he declared, "and l shall
insist upon thorough investigation
His magazine article, which aroused
considerable comment, was followed
by assertions from the admiral that
his purpose had been constructive
and that he had not intended TO en-
parrass the navy department in any
way. Secretary Wilbur called upon
him TO submit any reorganization
plan he had in mind, but Magruder
replied that he had none and that Il
would be impossible 10 prepare such
a program without much time and
clerical assistance. Meanwhile, news
paper interviewers had pictured Ma
gruder rs belligerent in his atti-
tude. The admiral said he had been
misquoted.
Speaking later in Philadelphia, Ad-
midal MagrCder declared the depart
ment was imposing upon him by re-
curing that he back up statements
made in his magazine article with
concrete information.
He disclosed that Secretary Wilbur
had sent him a set of ten questions
| to be answered and that when his re
plies we're late in reaching Washing
ton he had received an order to hur-
ry them up.
After his answers had been submit
ted, he said, requests for further in
formation were made. Secretary Will
bur planned to make this CORES
pondence public today.

Man Taking
Interest in
WG:S Work
-Woman's Editorial
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
1t is not only complimentary but
pleasant to us to find that so many
of the men are concerned about our
working too hard.
A great hul1abaloo is being made
because the mother of the race is
out in the great world competing
with the lordly male. 1t has been
decided by authorities that our
nervous and physical and mental
beings cannot bear the hardships to
Which they are subjected in the
marts Of trade. 1t is with a COM
mandatory and chivalrous anxiety
rtberetCre, that the men view Aour
lakorS outside the home.
Men Disapprove
This thing of having a woman 60
out at nine to a luXuriously ap-
pointed Office and take dictation
for hours at time appears pitt
full state of affairs to the stalwart
males, They can't bear to observe
us selling insurance, or writing ad-
Vertisements, or clerking in stores
or appearing as counsel in courts of
law Their arguments, of course
are fine and worthy. Being women
and potential mothers, we have
not the strength to keep up with
these activities. We are so con-
constructed that our energy is not
able to cope with the colossal labors
at which they have been engaged
for so long a time, and for which
they have been endowed with spe-
Cial resistance.
This would all sound a great deal
better, however, if it had been start
cd sooner. So far as we have been
able to find out, few walls arise in
the cotton belt when the women
must drag heavy sacks down the
fields in the autumn and keep up
their houseWork and look after the
children besides. Long factory
hours added to family cares of the
poorer housewives has not, as yet
melted such pity in the heart OF
the manufacturer that he is willing
to pay his men employees enough to
keep their women and children at
home.
Farmers Wife Tolls
Nobody howls because the farm
ers wife has to get up at dawn and
toll until long after dark at back
breaking labor. There is no grave
concern felt in the cities because
some women of the tenements who
. slave at home all day must go out
when evening falls and do janito1
work half the night while the mer
sleep peacefully in their beds. Nc
great excitement is felt for the
woman who is overworked at home
1t is because we are taking ur
their attractive jobs that the rut
comes in. Hundreds of thousands OF
women have died in this country
from collaborating and domestic
work, but that was considered as
being in their line of duty.
Falling in our tracks is all right
1t is only when we fall in theirs
that the men protest.
