League of Women Voters
Reflects Its President

Support of more stringent food
and drug regulations was voted by
the convention, closing it's sessions
yesterday. Women are partly to
blame for the worthless and some
times dangerous foods and drugs
sold by INSCRIPTIONS manufacture
ers, delegates were told.
Speaking on women's responsible
ity in regard to consumer legisla-
ton, Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, Wash
ington, d. c., Leagues legislative
department chairman, said THE
specific stake of consumers in an
economic system is difficult to
isolate"
There are instances where wom-
ems interest as consumers is OBJ
vious," she said. mo woman wishes
to waste the family income by buy
ing worthless or dangerous food,
drug, or cosmetic products.
No woman, she said, wishes to run
the risk of marring her personal
attractiveness or of counting serious
illness by the use of dangerous cos
metics or reducing products, yet she
has not persuaded Congress to enact
legislation which will give her the
information and protection to which
she is entitled.
Legislators aren't mind readers
and wishful thinking in govern
ment such as our is not enough
effective expression of the desires
of citizens is imperative" she said.
The problem is simple, Mrs. Bald
win said, but the actual legislation
necessary to solve it is difficult.
Women are inclined to be
swayed, first by the specious argu-
ments of the manufacturers who
wish to continue to sell practically
worthless foods, drugs, and cosmet-
les at exorbitant prices, and who
have no scruples about deluding the
public into believing that their prod
uctS are not dangerous to health;
second, by the arguments of those
idealists who claim that nothing
short Of their idea Of perfection in
legislation is acceptable"

TIRES OF U.S..
AND WHITE
P r E S S

CHICAGO-(ANP)-Tired Of A
merica and the white press which
had constantly bull-dogged her be-
cause she had married Negro
communist, Mrs. Jane Emery New
ton, daughter OF a past national
commander OF the American Lee
gion, has left the United States for
Russia were she will live with
her husband, Herbert, and their
two children.
Mrs. Newton's departure was re-
yealed last week by Atty. G. b.
Foley OF the Ill. Emergency Re-
lief commission whose agents had
sought her with a warrant charging
the white woman with frauding
the ZERO after it had supported
the family more than two years.
After tracing the Newton's to their
last home, friends told investiga-
tors the husband left in February
and the wife and children followed
in mid-April.
Mrs. Newton told neighbors that
she expected to stay in Russia be-
cause there her marriage with
colored man would be approved"
Foley said, She told her radical
friends she would be able to en-
ter into the real communistic spi-
rit In its cradle and with her hus-
band would make reports at Mos
COW on the movements activities
in the United States, especially In
Chicago. Money for the trip came
from Moscow"
More than a year ago the mar
riage of Herbert Newton, brilliant
Red leader, and Jane Emery, for
mer University of Michigan coed,
was revealed in court following
the husbands arrest for party ac-
tiWties. Daily newspapers made
much of the interracial aspects OF
the case, pointing to the young
wife as a horrible example" and
demanding a sanity test. Since
then the Newtons have been in the
news at every opportunity.
The young woman's father, a
realtor in Grand Rapids, Mich,
said he heard indirectly Of his
daughters departure but due to
their estrangement she didn't let
him know she was going.
"She was a brilliant student at
Michigan and at court hearing
in Chicago was declared sane" Co
lionel Emery said. However, /
believe communism and other 'isms'
have unbalanced her mind. Per-
haps when she lives in the Soviet
she will finally wake up to her
delusion."

SCIENCE DEPT.
AT GARFIELD
GETS GIFT

Elmer +. Hook, assistant pr1n-
cipal of Garfield intermediate
School, has presented a large as
sortment of Florida sea-shells as
a permanent collection to the Ex-
act Science Department OF the
school. The students, using as
their reference 1.-THE Shell Book,
by Rodgers, have succeeded in
naming most Of these. There are
star-fish, finger sponge, sea-weed
with coral, turban shells, lettered
olive, ribbed horse mussel, bleeding
tooth, cookie shells, rayed scallop,
erossbarred shells, tulip band shell,
and shells with barnacles.
The students have been greatly
interested in the star-fish skeleton.
1t measures fourteen inches across
and has five arms. This Is the
usual number, however, some have
been found with forty arms. These
creatures have remarkable powers
of renewal. If one loses an arm
it grows a new one and cases have
been known of a star-fish being
cut in two and each Of the pieces
developing into a new individual.
This fact gives rise to the story
of the oyster fishermen Of the
North Atlantic whose oyster beds
were being destroyed by starfish.
They pulled the starfish from the
sea, cut them in two and threw
them back in the water again, lit
tie knowing that rather than des-
troying, they were only increasing
their enemies.
There is also one excellent bleed
ing tooth specimen. 1t is about
one and one-half inches long. The
outside has a beautiful variegated
coloring of yellow, purple, black,
green and white. Inside on the
edge of the columela are two
teeth, both Of which are stained
with a yellowish, bloody patch,
from which the shell gets its name.
This mollusk lives on sea-weeds.
