 her words were interrupted by the voice of her husband, calling up to her: "Oh, Lois, I'm going downtown; see you later" The front door opened and closed. Soon Cne purring of the motor in the drive way gave testimony that she was alone for another long evening. The melting mood of mother love gave way to fierce rebellion in her heart. She sat on the edge of the maple bed, staring in the dim lampllghG. She was overwhelmed with 6 sense of injustice. It was not the first evening that she faced utter lone- Illness.
 Night after night it was the same story. After the evening meal they sat around the living room: listened to some early evening program, each absorbed in the paper, or that part of which the playful little child al- lowed them to read; and bedtime for the youngster was the signal for the husbands departure for the rest of the night. Lois never quite rec onciIed herself to this routine. Married six years, she was still in the flush of beauty. She did not crave excitement, but she was lonely. For some reason as she sat staring in the lamp of her baby's room a wave of suspicion mingled with her self-pity. After all, she asked her. self, where does he go and with whom does he associate, which seems 50 much more interesting than the society of his own wifeP This trend of thought bore deeply into her soul, until her mind con- jured up pictures of her husband in the society of several girls, any one of whom might be the cause of his absence from home. Minutes ticked away while Lois sat on the edge Of her boys bed, and when at last she rose she was surprised to find the little darling fast aslepe, his quest for the story long forgotten. Bitter

Infancy act and which originally passed the Child Labor amend- mei1t.
 With almost complete uniform ity, the rights of married women and the progress of schools and protection of children, are superior in traditionally republican states to democratic ctates.
 The republican platform of 1882 said: "The merit system has been amply justified since organization of the Civil Service by the repub- lican party. As a part of our gov- ernmental system, 1t is now un- assailable. We believe 1t should remain so."
 Women may be sure that, under a republican administration, the Civil Service will be restored and advanced.
 American women are definitely interested and concerned with matters of public policy. They are beginning to realize that they can wield their real influence only through political channels.
 Women vote as individuals, not as a sex, just as men do and are no more affected by a mans per- sonality on election day than are men.
 Object to Waste
 Women object to the spending the waste-the debts and deficits the burden of taxes-the rise of the cost of living-the repudiation of contracts-and the broken promises of the Roosevelt administration.
 Women abhor war and many see the threat of 1t with approach ing dictatorship and the aparent desire of this administration to ineddle in the affairs of other H1a- tons.
 Women have fared better under republican administrations --- their economic position has been more secure-and a few appointments in high places will not blind thinking women to the unfortu- nate position of women in the business world today.
 Through recent months, women ell over the country have been contacted for their suggestions, desires, and requests in connec- ton with the preparation of pre- convention platform material.
 A representative and progressive platform will be written and pre- sented to the American people at Cleveland and we may feel con- fident that the pledges made there will not be flouted later.

Don't you wonder what the stand ards of beauty will be like hum dred years from now2 1sle beau- ticians are doing a lot of thinking about the future, probably inspired by the movie version of H. c. Wells Things to Come"
 "One of the things of the future will be rinses (not dyes) which turn womlan's hair red, green, orange, blue and other bright col- ors and make it glow under arti- ficial light" says Emile of New York's Rockefeller Center. "Thls may sound ridiculous now, but, twenty years ago, the idea of a permanent wave was scoffed at.
 New ideas are considered prepos- terous, but think 1t quite likely that the day will come when a wo- man will tint her hair bright, lu- Irlinous hue for an evening party or dance. If she likes, she will be able to wash 1t out the next morning"
 The coiffure experts prediction isn't idle talk either. After spend- ing years doing laboratory experi- Inents, he now has preparation which, when sprayed on the hair, changes its color and makes 1t shine and glitter in the lamp-light. Wigs, treated with the liquid, are being orr dered by dancers and actresses. In a few years, Mrs. Average Woman may want to change the color of her hair for an evening.
 Of course, colored wigs are not news. But luminous cultures are. There's something fascinating about the idea of having shimmering, brightly tinted hair just for night.
 If you wish to have glittering locks every evening, but still want to look natural in the daytime, you get blue or green rinse. These do not change the color of your hair and they do not show in the day light. At night, however, your coif- lure glows and shines mystically. As yet, the treatment is an expensive business, just as permanents used to be. Naturally, when the idea really has caught on, 1t will be within reach of all of us.

 Chairman WOmen's Division,
 Republican National Committee The republican party is the wo- mems party of America, historically and practically speaking.
 For more than 50 years, from the time when mention favoring equal treatment for women was first made, iN the republican platform Of 1872, the republican party has fought and won the good fight for women.
 The only tradltionally democratic section of the United States is in the deep south, where women, though placed on pedestal of chivalry, so-called, have consistent ly been denied equality in the stern reality in living,
 Women made their first bow on the national political stage when three women were alternate dele- gates from Wyoming to the repub- lican national convention in 1892. Mrs. J. Ellen Poster was presented and made an address to the con- vention as chairman of "The Wo- mems Republican Association of the United States"
 Since that date, women have been sitting in every republican national convention aS delegates or alter mates.
 Mrs. Foster was a pioneer in acc tive political work nationally when, in the McKinley-Bryan campaign of 1896, a women's bureau was es- abolished in the national headquar- ters in Chicago and she was named director.
 Mrs. Bertha Baur, present nation al committeewoman for Illinois, then Miss Bertha Duppler, was a secretary to one of the executives at headquarters.

 The years passed, with women striving constantly for the right of equal sufferage. Every republican platform, from 1868 on, recognized their work and pointed out appre. ciation for their cooperation. Plat form declarations or resolutions were adopted by four national con-

Modern proprietary foods are re- suits of attempts to take advantage of new facts, discovered in relation 10 essentials of the human diet.
 The proprietary foods of a pre- vious era frequently lacked vita- mins and mineral salts. They also were over-rich in carbohydrates AS a result the producers were able to show pictures of very fat babies which, however, may not have been healthy babies.

subclinical scurvy is the name given to the latent or potential condition diagnosed by the capillary resistance test.
 The late pr. A. P. Hess recognized and described 8 common weakness (that will do as well as any other word for iD in infants as latent or subclinical scurvy and proved that an adequate vitamin ration cured or prevented the weakness.
 Many laytmen now understand the difference between latent pulmonary tuberculosis and active, clinical pul- monary tuberculosis. The old time physician had no conception of lat- ent tuberculosis. Neither medical science nor refinements of diagnosis gave substance to the concept. To- day the doctor who fails to recognize this subclinical state, weakness, po- tential disability is a back number.
 Certain schools now give special courses of instruction and grant to those who complete the courses sat- isfact ctorily the degree D.P.H. Doctor of Public Health0 But as yet no school has offered course in pure preventive medicine or the degree D.P.M. Doctor of Preventive Medi- cine), looking toward the future practice of preventive medicine by the private physician.
 It will require great deal more education of the public to make 1t possible for physician so trained to live by the practice Of his pro- fession.
 Most people naturally can't savvy 1t. They elect to follow the old-fash- toned system with the old-time doc- tors who recognized illness only when the patient was down and out.

Material Advantage
Seen in Developing
Valley Canal Power

1T is reasonable to conclude
that, basically, the development OF
All American canal power by the
district will be to the material
advantage of Imperial ana Coach
ella valleys, being particularly re-
Elected in reduced rates and in
creased revenue to meet district
obligations, according to the re-
port compiled by Lester S. Ready,
consulting engineer, relative to the
power development and distribu-
ton program OF the Imperial r.
rigation District.
The advantages of this system
lie not only in the reduction of
rates for consumers of the power
generated from the All American
canal and distributed by the dis
trict but this report points out
further that the costs of supply
ing from transmission the load re-
quired in the two valleys would be
less than that of the power COM
pany now serving this area.
On this question the report says:
1T may be concluded that the
cost of supplying iron transmits
sion the entire load required in
Imperial and Coachella valleys
based on district developments
would be less than the cost of
service from the company system
by between $235,000 and 100000
per anum under present load con-
ditions. With SENSATIONAL output
increased To 100,0O0,00O kilowatt
hours per annum the difference
in amman cost wouid be between
$450O0O and 100000. On the basis
of 12O,000,0O0 kilowatt hours, the
difference would be between $780,
