may think that there are plenty III

according to officials of the BiolOgi-

Consideration will be given to the

tion's attitude was expressed at tina:
times as follows:
l. We affirm that at this time of un-
employment, no woman, married or
single, now employed, shall be required
TO give up her job to a man.
2. That women's opportunity for work
should not be limited BY dismissing them
from night work. The taking away of
women's work does not improve their
health
3. That for any one to arrogate 70
himself the right to limit women's work
implies the assumption Of the inferior
ity Of women to men; doctrine we
resent.
4. That any attempt to carry out a
plan of dismissal Of women, either
through legislation or by reguls ton, will
be opposed by the National Woman's
Party
8. That this present treatment OF
employed women necessitates the i'm
mediate passage of the equal rights
amendment, which declares that men
and women shall have equal rights

place subject TO its jurisdiction"

Many Things He Knows.
He knew about, the legislative author

Wagner Inquiry on Relief
Item Reveals Preparedness
for Action.
BY WILLIAM HARD.

Mr.. Reed Snnoot, a Senator of the
United States from the State of Utah
was at his best on the Senate floor last
week when an impaSSioned question was
asked by Robert r. Wagner. q Sem
ator of the United States from the
State OF New York. Mr.. Wagner was
inspired by profound distrust of the
generaliZations contained In the un-
employment relief bill. He exclaimed:
1T Is very easy to say that we will
attempt to spend this money at once in
order to relieve unemployment; but ]
think we ought to know, If the informa-
ton is available, on what particular
projects operations will begin so as 10
employ labor prior to six months from
now"
Mr.. Wagner is a thick oak-trunk OF
a man. He is also a rapidly rotating
steam-turbine of man. He has solid
1ty and he has power. He made his
exclamation extremely energetic.
Wesley L. Jones, a Senator of the
United States from the State of Wash
lngton, was quite -committal in his
reply to Mr.. Wagner. Mr.. Jones was
in charge of the bill. He has a long
line OF legislative accomplishments in
his record. He Is no mean LEGISLATOR
unless the Jones five-and-ten liquor
lambasting law was mean. Mr.. Jones
nevertheless, in spite of his legislative
aptitudes and experiences, stared at Mr..
Wagner perplexed. He began replying
with Il cannot tell" and finished with
intimating that he seemed to remember
that the projects for the deepening of
rivers and harbors had ben set forth on
the witness stand by the War Depart
ment's chief of engineers.
Facts on Fatted Calf.
Then Mr.. Smoot intervened. What
he said was characteristic of a thousand
1nterventions he has made in senatorial
debate. He said
Il have the projects listed before me
ana, II the Senator so desires, will men,
ton them
That's the way it always seems to
be. After the Senate has talked for
two or three days about whether or
not a fatted calf should be killed and
about whether it should be boiled or
orolled or roasted, somebody thinks of
inquring:
But where. after all, is the calf?"
Then Mr.. Smoot rises and says:
I know where the calf is, and he
now weighs 732 pounds"
quirer
Then Mr.. Smoot-not always-but
usually-says in effect:
We'll, he's tethered in my ONCE"
Thus. on the specific occasion here
narrated, Mr. Smoot was able to in
form the Senate, out of the careful
calculations kept close to his person,
that the proposed expenditure on the
Middle River and empire cut in Califor-
mia would be $4,000, while the expendi-
ture on the Ketchikan Greek in Alaska
