IUO Women Haze Places on National
Democratic Committee Just Appointed
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross,
Former Governor of
Wyoming; Mrs. Flor.
ence Farley, Of Kansas

The naming of the new
Democratic National Com
mittee shows a departure
from precedent in the long
list Of vice-chairnen lined
up in aid of the party.
Mrs. Nellie Tayloel Ross,
former Governor Of Wyom-
ING, leads off and the list
ends with the name of Mrs.
Florence FarIey y, national
committeeman from Kan
sas. In between are three
men of political prominence.
This makes a committee
Of a half-dozen good and true
Democrats while heretofore
there have been only two

mana man and a woman.
We Wonder
This causes the conjecture as
to the length Of service Of the
committee. Is it to be perma-
nent-that is, until another
Democratic presidential stand
ard bearer is chosen. Or is it
only for the duration of the
campaign?
In case of the latter, with
Mrs. Ross having precedence
IN the listing Of the vice chair
men, it would seem that she
might be retained as "per-
manentp vice chairman, should-
she wish this honor. Since
women made their entrance into
the political arena they have
been rewarded" by both the
major parties with the vice

came a part OF the Federal Com

the Democratic men were quick

by naming one Of them Tor a

CHICAGO, July 10.-CR)-There
are smiles that make you happy.
There are smiles that make sou
blue;
There are smiles like Jacob
Werching,
Which have power to cut five
days to two
There are smiles
But the thing Of il was, that
Werching had been sentenced TO
five days in Jail because the front
wheels Of his automobile SHIN
mied. Werching insisted the vierd
motion was a mechanical imperfec-
tion; Judge Curran decided it was
alcoholic.
The court granted Werching a
45-hour stay Of sentence to nc-mit
his attention to business affairs
pending Incarceration. Werching
came back into court ready for the
five days involuntary detention.
This time. however. ne was not
argumentative. He smiled as he
talked with the court. and was
pleasantly affirmative to every re-
mark the court made.
Judge Curran pondered.
"The city needs the man with a
SMILE" he said. Because you
know how to smile. / herewith re-
duce your sentence to two days"
Thus was driven home the great
truth that the poets Of Tin Pan
alley SO long ago have glorified.
