CHICAGO, May 4-Wives of the midwest's two new United States senators have one thing in com mona love for the social affairs of their alma mater
 The interests of Mrs. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Grand Rapids, Mich, wife of the senator-desig- nate from Michigan, lie chiefly in University of Michigan. She is regarded as one of the most ac- tive alumni of the institution and it was largely through her inter est and efforts that the women 5 building on the campus at Ann Arbor became reality.
 Mrs. Cyrus Locher of Cleveland, whose husband has been named Ohio's junior senator by Gov. Vic Donahey, is president of Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumnae Associa- tion, and unusually active in all Cleveland social and women s civic affairs.
 l She is a member of the Cleve- land Women's Civic league, of the Pan-Hellenic council, active in the Colonial Study Cihcle, and is a member of the board of trustees of the Cleveland Maternity Hos pital. ! Mir. yandenberg is publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald and his wife, too, at one time was a news paper woman. After her gradua- tion from the University of Michi- gan, she worked for time in the advertising department of the Chicago Tribune.
 Born in Bloomington, H., Mrs. Locher is a graduate of the llli- nois Wesleyan university, and it was there that she met MT Loch- CT, who came west with debat- ing team from Ohio Wesleyan university.
 MT Locher was one of two of the Ohio boys who remained over night in the home of his wife's parents. That was in 1903. and five years later, the girl he had met by chance was his wife.

Editor Times-Why should reli-

They do not belong together. as
one is question concerning the
moral life of the individual, while
the other is a matter of government

correct living needed to be empha-
sized more than now, and If
churches devote their time and ef-
forts TO the promotion of this prin-
ciple, and OF tolerance one toward
another, thus setting an example to
governments, they will have accom-
plished the work for which they
we're brought into existence.
The Constitution of our country
provides for religious liberty to all,

The Solution

THIS problem embodies the
4 squeeze play. An addition, it
is rather novel, because the only
way of solving it lies in trumping
with what appears to be an I'M
necessary high card and then per-
hitting the opponents to win a
trump trick with lower card.
South leads the four of spades,
North trumping with the jack and
East discarding diamond. North
then leads the nine of trumps, which
West wins with the ten.
West is now forced to lead a
spade to South, South Immediately
winning two tricks in that suit. On
these two spade tricks, East must
discard either two diamonds or one
diamond and the ace of hearts.
In the former case, South leads
the deuce of diamonds and North
wins the last two tricks with the
queen and seven. If East discards
the ace of hearts and only one dia-
mond, South wins the next trick
with the king of hearts and North
the last trick with the queen Of dia-
monds.
If you solved this problem cor
rectly, you are something of a
Bridge player. If you din't, 1t was
far from being disgrace.

OUR statesmen should get to-

In his New York speech Hoover
said the only way to escape the
horrors of state socialism was to
elect him, but Charles E. Hughes
comes along and says there's so
little difference between the parties,
the only thing that counts is the
difference between the candidates.
Then on the other side, Smith
shouts for high tariff to assuage the
goose-flesh of the capitalistic east,
while Joe Robinson whoops 1t up for
low tariff in the west.
An Alabama congressman pauses
amid the cares of distributing
garden seed to warn his people that
Hoover should be defeated because
he believes in the theory Of evolu-
ton.
If this campaign lasted until July
we would be burning witches from
Maine to California.

Business Elastic

1t is commonly supposed that
business depends on routine produc-
ton. That is one reason why peo-
pie hold the idea that politics is
bound to interfere with it. Because
politics Represents something Of an
innovation in their own lives, inter-
ruptS their ordinary train of
thought and distracts their atten-
ton, they assume that il. must have
the same effect on business.
To begin with, business, especially
in this day and generation. depends
less on routine production than ever
before. 1t has benefited just as
much by inventions and improve
ments as the rest of us. Every time
a new device is discovered, new
machines have to be constructed to
turn it out, new corporations have
to be formed to exploit it and new
statesmen have to be put on the road
to sell It,
Within the last twenty-five years
the automobile industry has grown
from a few small scattered factories
10 one Of the largest enterprises.
Fifty years ago people regarded
electric power as little better than a
doubtful experiment, but today it
has attained predominating posi-
ton.
A hundred and one things which
we have come to feel we can not
get along without we're unobtain-
able only few years back Invent
ing them, making them and selling
them is what has expanded business.

Same Old Tricks

That the Leslie campaign is in the hands of the

as the desperate methods to elect him coming to
light.
Out in the state Leslie tells the honest voters that
he has nothing with the evil indianapolis bosses
chance, he is elected
In this city he rides in the sheris car, the sheriff
being the understudy for Coffin and noted chiefly for
his failure to arrest Stephenson.
Were that not enough the attack which he made
on Daley using Judge Anderson authority is to be
renewed despite the fact that Anderson very promptly
declared that the Leslie charge untrue in every
way and added adjectives in describing the Daley
record that were more than praise.
Not that Leslie has courage to repeat his libels,
but the state committee announces that it will broad
cast them next week the radio, putting forward
one of the undercover men to act as sponsor.
There can be little question to whom the peo-
pie will believe 1t is not question between Daley
and Leslie It is the word of Leslie against Judge A.
B. Anderson and Indiana will have little difficulty in
selecting its witness ever doubted the yeracity
of the federal judge.

tion and the way to do it is to clean out the State

The train dispatchers have be-
gun to think that their cases have

ditions and their effects on health.

No Effect on Business

General Motors reports a profit
of more than $240 100000 during the
last nine months, and a bigger sale
of cars than it has made IN any
previous year.
This profit. which will exceed
$500, 100000 for the year If present
rates of earning are maintained, Is
the largest, with one exception, ever
reported by an American industry.
In 1915 United States Steel and
several other corporations in this
country, had reached a point where
they not only took in more revenue,
but made more money than is re-
quired to run some Of our largest
states.
Pennsylvania, for instance, has an
annual budget of about SIPS, 000,0 900,
Texas one of about SOS, 100000 and
Ohio one Of about $4,000, 900.
Pooled wealth, mass production,
sound financial management, and,
above all else. a ll-designed bank
ing system have made business i'm
mune to the effect Of political cam
paignS.

PaSteur found that the silk worms were being at
tackled by some disease which caused little black SPOT
to appear all over them. Inside the sick worms he
found, with the aid of the microscope, tiny little
globules.
The Silkworm starts in life an egg which matches
into the worm. In time the worm spins cocoon from
which it energies a moth, the moth lays the eggs
which start the cycle again.
Pasteur soon thought he had solved the problem
He advised the farmers to dssect the moth which had
laid the eggs and examine its belly under the micro
scope. If the microscope showed the little globules
which were evidence of the disease they were to de-
stroy the eggs.
If no evidence of disease present they were to
allow the eggs to hatch

. Same Old Farms

The weakest spot in America is
the spot where there has been the
least change-the farm. Agriculture
has not profited as it should through
our increased knowledge of finance,
organization, systematic distribution,
credit extension and mass produc-
ton.
There is not a trade or profession
in this country that remains any
where nearly so similar to what it
used to be as farming People of
seventy-five years ago would feel
lost if they were to come back and
try their hands at plumbing. steel
erecting or electric wiring. but they
could do a pretty good job in the
potato patch. Also, they could do a
pretty good job in acting as loan
sharks, middlemen and brokers for
Farmer John.

that their physical health is a mat
ter of interest to the public gener-

Certainly they, as we'll as all other
railroad employees should be given a

sidious onset of disease may not re-

the individual concerned, but per-
