An exchange headlines an editorial as follows:
Industrial Era Has Some Dark Pockets" Repre-
s~entatives from southern textile mills journeyed from
industrial centers to the city Of Washington where
they presented their grievances to a group Of Ameri-
can senators. For instance. among them was one
Jennie Green. an underfed little girl who looked about
eight years but who said she was IA. Jennie is q wage
earner-a spinner in the textile mills. She works go
hours q week and is paid precisely Sass a week. Then
there was a grown man. Robert Litolff. who has work.
ed In the southern mills for 80 years. The high mark
Of his career came when he got a weekly wage of
$3.50. Lately he has been working part time and
drawing $40 a week. Then there was Myrtle Stroud.
who was 20 and who works so hours a week for pay
that averages between So and Sill. and there was a
Mrs. Bertha Crawford. who supports three children
by working 81 hours @ week for $16.62.
There were others who interviewed the group OF
American senators. AL unfolded the same schedule
very long hours OF work and very low remuneration
Tor their labor.
"Our biggest job is to tackle those dark pockets and
make them as light as the other places Of our factory

Health and Right Living

You read in the paper every daJ
about the need Of fresh mir and ex-
ercise. You are told they must Ne
had Ii you would enjoy perfect
health.
These are both essential 10 be
sure. But they are not I'm them
selves sufficient.
Let me explain: Fresh air with
out proper breathing Is CT little val
ue. So it is with exercise. 1t must
be the right kind OF exercise, taken
under appropriate conditions. Other
wise. 4t viii fail TO accomplish It's
purpose. Today ! want 70 talk
about breathing-what IL does for
the body. No matter how much you
eat. you cannot be well nourislhed
unless you breathe correctly.
Do you believe tina the breathing
capacity bears any important rela-
tionShip to goodness Of character7
This surely is surprising, IL srue.
My friend. DR.. Frederick Il. Huff-
man. statistician Of the Prudential
Life Insurance company. studied a.
600 chest measurements 70 show the
connection between breathing and
delinquency In women. Or. Hoff-
man Is a conservative man and
would be the last to make q positive
conclusion in a matter Of this sort.
What he found Is very interesting.
The Investigations show that the
breathing capacity Of delinquents Is
distinctly less than in normal wom-
en-. In women over 80 years OF
age. the delinquents have "a chest
expansion Of three inches. as against
four inches for normal women. Un-
der 80 the normal ONE have ar
expansion Of four and a half inches,
at least a half inch more than the
delinquents possess.
Il am all the time preaching 20
you the importance OF deep breath
ing. I have done this because Of
what 1t means to your physical well
being. I have not thought OF its
relationship to morals.
Tt Is easy to see, however. there
NAV be a lot in DR.. Hoffman's idea
Unless the brain Is well irrigated
with pure blood 1t cannot operate
as It should.
The nourishment OF the body and
the proper functIoning or all the
vital organs are dependent on the
purity of the blood supply. The
blood cannot be rich and capable
unless the lungs give it an album
dance OF oxygen.
r. IS reasonable 70 believe. then.
that delinquency which depends on
wrong operations or the mind or on
wrong impulses due to perverted
stimulation OF certain organs. might
well come from shallow breathing.
To have the quantities Of oxygen
essential TO normal blood supply and
proper flow of nerve energy there
must be the fullest use or the
breathing machinery.
The chest expansion Il an index
OF the degree of lung development.
If there Is not free expansion thee
Is no likelihood or obtaining the
necessary oxygen. A healthy mind
and q clear brain depend On an
abundance OF fresh air. You must
take into your lungs an abundance
Of oxygen with every breath.
You will find your general health
improved II you follow these s.lg-
gestions. Restful sleep. good diges-
ton and a happy disposition VIII
result.
Begin today 10 breathe properly.

Washimgtom Letter

WASHINGTON. May 25.-There are thousands of
women in the United States who would give half they
own to be in Pearl Peden Oldfield's place.
And Pearl Peden Oldfield would gladly give more
than half Of her possessions If she could walk out of
her office back into the normal life OF a woman who
was greatly interested in her home and husband and
find the complete satisfaction and perfect content
ment she once knew.
Mrs. Oldfield Is a member Of congress. She rem
resents the second district Of Arkansas in the house.
She succeeded her husband, the late William Allan
Oldfield, democratic whip.
AT a special election she was chosen by the people
in her district to fill the unexpired term Of her hus-
band IN the SEVENTEEN congress. and also was elected
on the same day to the seventy-first session.
DOESN'T LIKE HI
Mrs. Oldfield found herself thrust into politics al
most without warning. She frankly admits that she
doesn't like it.
Only her sense Of duty sent her to the seat In con-
gress vacated by her distinguished husband.
she was nominated without opposition by the mem
ners OF her party. Republicans In the district met
and decided that they would offer no opposition. She
only had one opponent, a man running on the indie
pendent ticket. Without even SO much as issuing q
statement In support Of her candidacy she was elected.
1t was a bewildered and rather frightened woman
who stood before the speakers stand last January on
the floor of the house and swore that she would faith
iuly discharge her duties as a national legislator.
Neither club work nor social affairs had played
much Of a part in Mrs. Oldfield's life. To use her
own words, there had been perhaps nothing con-
nected with my life, from a public viewpoint. particu-
larry ~colorful."
She had kept herself informed concerning public
affairs. Her husband had always discussed his legis-
lative problems with her. Especially was this true the
three years preceding Mr.. Oldfields death.
The interest I have In the public welfare Is due
to hin. During those last three years we were con-
lstantly together.
whether we we're motoring, on the golf links or
at home, we usually found time to discuss the things
nearest my husbands heart-the doings of congress.
My greeting to him at the close OF each day when
congress was In session was We'll. what happened to-
Iday?' And together We would discuss the days events.
7 always was his first audience when he was to
make a speech. He would read his manuscript to me
carefully and together We would talk about 1t and i'm
prove it In any way we could.
"You can readily see that this experience is inval-
liable TO me now"
