CONGRESS D j {.

BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

ny WILLIAM ,. NEAL
A strong sentiment in Congress
for the use Of extraordinary mea.

!. in the introduction OF many bills to
this end In the present special ses-
sion.
Following closely upon the action
Of Congress last year in authoriz-

farms to be operated in connection
with the prison system for the re.
form OF dope" addicts, the mea.
sures are believed to presage legis-
lation in the regular session begin
ming in December. Among the
new measures are:
Strong Measures
Creation OF a joint congressional
committee to be known as Commit.
tee on Narcotic Traffic, introduced
by Senator Wheeler D.), of Mon
tana and LaGuardia R.), Of New
York, which would make the mar
cotics traffic one of the major sub
Jects with which Congress deals.
The committee would be charged
with the duty of making a sweeping
investigation of the situation, and
70 recommend legislation.
Resolution of Representative Pot
ter R.), of Pennsylvania, request
ing the President to make represen-
tations to the powers party to The
Hague opium convention, urging
full compliance with the provision
and aims of that convention.
Bill of Representative Porter In
creasing substantially the penalties
for violating the Harrison anti
narcotic act, raising the maxim um
to eight years and depriving any
persons convicted of selling dope"
Of the benefit of parole laws.
To Head Addicts.
Another bill by Representative
Porter to make the physician in
charge of the narcotics division in
the office of Surgeon of the Bureau
Of Public Health, an assistant sur.
geon general, thus raising the ques-
ton of narcotics to one of the most
important dealt with by the Public
Health Service.
Throughout the proposals there
is an indication of many members
Of Congress to treat drug addicts
as sick people rather than as crimi-
mails, and to make the offense of
manufacturing or selling drugs one
of the most grievous violations or
the nations criminal laws.

This cuff bracelet fashion was set
back as a Complementary detail to

There are also sets composed Of

a vanity case or a cigaret case to

So far as formal jewelry is con-

Slabs of damon studded plati-

pendants are also of the large size.
JeweIed pendant watches seem to
be taking the place of the wrist

AS women, after all, can obtain

it would seem that creators of
jewelry have exercised much of their

precious clasps for the handbag,
studded with real or semi-precious
stones.

The Future
Woman Is
Big Question
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

d. 4AhSs hAL4Eh rEhCDcON
Ed Howe says he would like to live
long enough to see what the future
relations Of men and women will be.
And who wouldn't?
One of the most fascinating stud
les in our world is woman. What is
she making Of her freedom. and
what will she do with her future?
Men r tame and timid creatures
beside US. They have had their lit
tie day Of dominance and power.
Their period of superiority is ended.
They no longer are lords and mas
tiers, but only simple and often fool
ish creatures, with a little too much
vanity. And because Of this defa-
ton in their value, they are much
nicer persons.
New. Woman Is Here
Beside them, in a strange new
world, walks the new woman. Like
newborn infants, both sexes have
many things to learn, and that
learning will not be an easy process
always.
What will become OF the home
when women have grasped their OPP
portunities to the full? Will it sur
vive or will it die? How will mar
riage stand the test of having two
providers instead of one, and how
will me react to the changed con-
ditions?
What will happen to the children
when they have become incidents
instead of careers to their mothers?
How will the economic situation
stand the strain Of having millions
Of women workers rushing into in
dustry? What will be the future
relation between husbands and
wives? Will there be husbands and
Wives2
Puzzling and fascinating questions
to muse upon. Like Ed Howe, would
we not all like to peep into the
future and see how everything is
going to turn out? Nobody knows.
No can predict.
Will Avoid Disasters
But the chances are that no dis
asters will occur. Probably every
thing will adjust itself and civiliza-
ton will flourish, We may be sure
that men and women will be i'm
proved in this new world which is
in the making. I for have no
patience with the howlers who in
sist that because change has come
everything will go to destruction.
If we could all come back 200
years hence, I feel sure that the
men and women who are walking
in these familiar places Of earth will
be so much finer than we ever have
been that we will go sneaking back
into our ghost homes, ashamed OF
our poor fears.
