Greeting From Mrs. NOrthcrOSS:
HOmenakerS Invited
TOGala Convention

will feel more than repaid for
the time you have given.
There is nothing so inspiring
to me as to look out on a sea
of friendly faces and to realize
that my simple messages on the
great art Of homemaking are
falling on fertile ground.
The world may be tottering
on the brink of oblivion, accord
ing to some of our best authori-
ties. but so long as you women
hold on to your determination
to make your homes more liv-
able, more interesting, and safer
havens for your loved ones,
then just that long will this
great nation of ours withstand
the onslaught of unrest that
seems to be about to devour the
rest of the universe.
No Greener Pastures
All sorts of movements have
been written about. There have
been many learned discourses
for your consumption on the
subjects of preparedness and
isolation, but let me tell you
that the simplest as well as the
most effective movement for
the betterment Of all conditions
is the one called BACK TO
THE HOME.
Some of us are called to go
far afield to impart our particu-
lar messages and perhaps some
of you look upon us with envy
at the end of a hard day OF
housework, but truly we are
not working in pastures one bit
broader or greener than yours
and the housewife whose home
is a magnet that draws family
and friends alike into its
charmed circle is doing one OF
the greatest works of all.
A calm, vital, interested WON.
an, we'll informed and master OF
herself, whether she be wife q
maid, is an inspiration to all
vino come in contact with her.
She can be a bulwark of civiliza-
ton whether she be on the farm
or in the mansion, and it shall
be our pleasure to do our small
part at this time, with your help,
in starting a revival of interest
in ill things pertaining to the
home, it's Identification and its
mechanism.
Will you all join me in an
effort to make this bigger and
better Homemaker's party than
any we have ever had?

Rumor persisted that menu
wise voters were being influ'
enced at the polls but there was
no authoritative reason to be-
lieve tnat the one-sided victory
which resulted in pudding's cleo

organized kitchen campaign.

to please every palate, and dur
ing an exclusive interview at
general pudding hea dquarters it
was learned that no time would
be lost in getting down to work
and fulfilling all campaign
promises. Preparations for a
busy term have already been
outlined and now puddings are
scheduled to take the menu
lead.

Urging that careful records OF all

Of the Women's National Press Club
yesterday that eventually such mea-
sure would revolutionize the practice
Of medicine.
This would make 1t possible" she
said, "for the doctor to get q clear
picture Of his patient, to understand
what his inherited tendencies are. and
to list the diseases to which he Is
susceptible and even to tell how long
he Is likely to live. Criminal records
are kept and experimental records,
but there is no complete record Of this
cosnic experiment with human beings
that is going on all Of the time"
: Basing her remarks on her expert
ments with mice. which she has been
carrying on for 30 years, DR.. Slye
said she could predict with accuracy,
through records of 100 generations,
how long certain of her mice would
live and from what diseases they would
die. Through breeding she has pro-
duced strains what will be resistant
to cancer or pneumonia or to kidney
diseases, just as she can produce mice
certain to die of one of these ailments.

Mr.. Sanger explained he went to
Russia in June, 1888, to get away
from some Of the abuses Of the capt.
talistic system. but that he had found
conditions in Russia much worse than
in capitalistic countries.
"Communism," he said, lis all right
in theory but it does not take the hu-
man equation into account. A class
system is beginning to emerge in Rus
STA. but with a different sort Of person
in the upper classes. The old nobility
has been liquidated and the workers
are disillusioned about the promised
equality"
DR.. Dorsey, speaking on communis-

said attacks were centered on the
churches and on the labor groups.
THE day we recognized the Soviet
Union, we bartered our birthright for

munists began coming to this country
and Soviet money was poured in for
