Woman Who Selected 10
for Z. S. Head SHES
at Problem.

Naming 10 women who possess
talents necessary for a President of
the United States is far less a prob
lem than selecting three women to
direct women'S club work, Miss Lena
Madesin Phillips intimated today.
Miss Phillips, who recently went
out on limb" to name 10 women
she said could serve adequately as
President, today refused even to
suggest names of three women as an
advisory committee for women's
clubs.
President of the International
Federation of Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Clubs, Miss Phil
lips apparently feels that women
affairs require more tact and more
LOG rolling" ability than any PreSi-
dent of the United States ever could
need
Committee Needed, She Feels
Such committee, however, she
feels is the only thing which will
save clubs from oblivion.
IF they would select three COM
petent women to act on a commit
tee; get behind them, as they would
officers in an enlisted army, and do
as they say, clubs would accomplish
great things" she said.
Miss Phillips spoke last night at
Kirshbaum Center, in an open meet
ing sponsored by the local Business
and Professional Womens Club.
CLUBS began because women had
leisure time and wanted to acquire
culture" she said. They read
papers on Browning, Tennyson and
the Irish poets, and selected state
flowers and state songs.
Now a patchwork Quilt"
But the younger generation is
not going to be satisfied with such
a patchwork quilt as the club move
ment has become.
IF women are as good as they say
they are, they will quit talking and
do something" Miss Phillips con-
tinued. IF they would organize and
put one qualified woman into po-
lltlcal office, either in school Sys-
TENS or in other civic positions, and
keep up that practice for 10 years,
they would accomplish what they
never have been able to do in years
of club work.
THE pattern of women's organi-
cations has been that of giving
remedial aid. Thousands of mem
bers have spent a tremendous
amount of time, energy and money
in championing various causes. Yet
I believe they never have expected
to achieve many of the aims which
they named"
More Criticism
Women, who are the most in
genuous persons in the world in
reaching their goals in home prob
lens, according to Miss Phillips, do
not exercise that same ingenuity in
public work.
Ihey do not realize that politics
affect them in their homes" she
said. Il appeal to all of you to re-
examine the old patterns and create
new patterns to fit new conditions.
Our need today is for intellectual
pioneering characterized by the
same courage and daring with which
our forefathers conquered the
wilderness and laid the foundations
OF new world.
"All the elements are here for a
life of greater social justice and
higher culture of greater beauty.
But to achieve these we first must
rid ourselves of the fear of the new,
inform ourselves of the fundamental
issues involved and with courage
and a true spirit of American de-
mocracy, face and solve the problems
OF our times. We must not delay
IN so doing. For men will not starve

ST. PAUL, July 10.-No city ever
enjoyed greater immunity from

listed rule Of Police Chief John ].
O'Connor three decades ago
came into personal contact with
Big Jim during the latter part of
his rule when 1 was assigned to
the police run as cub reporter
The system worked then.
But the rotting of that system
under new hands and modern con-
ditions Is years later brought a
public clamor for reform which l
felt was up to the newspapers to
answer. Certainly, it was too much
to expect a political system, en-
trenched behind civil service regu-
lationS, to reform itself.
had great respect for Mr.. O'Con-
nor, big, bluff, burly individualist.
Live, spend and have a good
time here" he told crooks. But
if you play any tricks you'll spend
the rest of your life in Jail"
Knew Every Crook
And it worked, because Chief
O'Connor knew personally nearly
every crook who visited st. Paul
I sat In his Office one day when
lumberjack just in from the north
woods, stumbled into the room.
Il work all winter" the giant
tearfully stated. Il come last night
to st. Paul for a good time. Today
wake up with a headache. My
money is all gone"
How much?" Chief O'Connor de-
manded.
"One hundred eighty dollar"
From a fat wallet Chief O'Con-
nor counted out $3.50 and gave it to
the lumberjack, who departed joy
ouSly.
Hands Over Loot
Turning to Frank Fraser, detec-
tive, the chief said:
Bring in Lefty Richards"
Fifteen minutes later Fraser
showed a Shifty individual through
the door. Without a word, Chief
O'Connor slammed big fist direct
ly between Lefty's eyes. A bucket
of water restored Lefty He eyed
Chief O'Connor cautiously, and be-
fore a word was spoken, he handed
the chief a dirty roll of bills. There
was exactly $3.50.
st. Paul revered "the big fellow
but neighboring cities were increas-
ingly subject to raids from st. Paul's
gangland. Finally, outside business
men organized a boycott against st.
Paul and Chief O'Connor was
ouSted.
System Boys Down
From that day on the O'Connor
system deteriorated. His successors
had neither the physical force nor
strength of character to enforce
their edicts.
Finally, there came six major kid
napingS, scores of murders, bomb
ings and burglaries uncountable.
Gambling and other attributes of a
powerful underworld grew beyond
restraint. The best the police could
do was take their cut.

YOUNG FARMER
DIES IN BLAZE
Hero Killed in Effort to
Save Neighbor'S Barn
From Fire.

Chester Duhamell, 33-year-old
farmer, died last night in City
Hospital from burns received a few
hours earlier in a heroic attempt
t. prevent a neighbours barn and
shed from catching fire.
Mr.. Duhamell and two men, I'M
known to him, were filling tractors
with gasoline from a tank in the
shed Of Damon Smith, R. r. 4, Box
449B, southwest of the city. The
tank burst into flames and Mr.. Du-
hamell carried it outside IN an eff
fort to protect the shed and an ad-
joining barn from fire. The tank
exploded in his arms, shoWering
him with burning gasoline The
flames leaped to the shed and to
the barn, but neighbors led valu-
able livestock from the barn before
the fire was out Of control.
Fire apparatus from Indianapolis
prevented the fire from extending
to other buildings on the farm. Mr.
Duhamell lived at R. R. 7, Box
1850.
The fire caused $4,000 damage to
the property and equipment in the
barn and shed.

Tens of thousands of acres Of
nearby swamp land were drained
a dozen years ago in typical
land promotion scheme. But the
suckers, as usual, found the land
unsuited to farming and moved
out after brief struggle with the
short growing season and the
long beaked mosquitoes.
The area, formerly game
sanctuary populated by deer,
bear, moose, a host of smaller ami
mails and millions of waterfowl,
lay barren and deserted.

N planned to dam the drain
age bitches and let the land re-
vert to swamp in combination

wild-life sanctuary project. The
money was to come from the sale
of duck stamps.
This spring, the dredges moved
in and the work began. But not
according to the original plans.
Beavers, working quietly and at
night, had damned bitches and
ref1ooded thousands of acres.
The swamp grass had again
thrown out its tough shoots and
the ducks and the deer were
coming back.
Engineers scratched their
heads, surveyed the work and
decided they could hardly i'm
prove on it. They will help the
beavers to finish the job but it
won't be as expensive as they
figured.
So far the beavers haven't
complained at the cooperation.
