PHYSIOLOGY OF DRINKING

A question asked frequently IN
warm weather Is whether one should
II thirsty, drink water before meal,
or in the course Of a meal. When
one Is very warm, either from ac-
tive play or work or from exposure
to high temperature, is 1t better to
drink ice water, water slightly cooled
tepid water. hot water, or water con-
tanning oatmeal, barley, fruit juice
or salt? May one drink all the water
one wants or should the thirst be re-
strained and only a small amount
of water taken at time, when one
Is very warm? Is carbonated, bub-
bling, effervescent, sparkling,
charged. soda, settler water HARM
full or beneficial to drink? Is distilled
water preferable to natural water
for drinking purposes?
Precise chemical tests Of the gas
trio Juice or chync flood In process
Of digestion In the stoma:h) have
shown that in ordinary circum-
stances the effect of a good drink
Of water, hot or cold as you prefer,
is Just the opposite-it causes in
creased secretion Of gastric Juice
and promotes better digestion.
So on scientific grodund and am
pie experience we advise every one
who Is not actually Ill or under
medical care to drink all the water
he wishes before, with or after meals.
There is just one sensible caution
to heed-don't use water or other
beverage to wash down incompletely
masticated morsels Of food. Eat
when you eat and drink when you
drink.
Feeble or elderly folk may prefer
to drink hot water, especially before
breakfast In the morning. II so, all
right. Hot or cold 1t Is a healthful
habit, aids digestion, improves peris-
talsis or intestinal activity.
Unnatural and unphysiological, in
my opinion, is the practice Of drink
ing Of large quantity, from a pint
to as much as a quart, Of tepid water
containing a level teaspoonful Of salt
in each pint. The avowed purpose OF
this is thorough cleaning Of the
digestive tract each day." There Is
no better reason for cleaning the d.
gestive tract each day than there is
for cleaning the respiratory tract
each day. This morbid fancy Is
vestige Of the ancient belief that all

IT'S A WOMAN'S
WORLD
BY JUSTIN REESE

The strangest picket line which
/ have ever seen was staged in
Philadelphia in 1886. 1t was
duplicate of the one which had
occurred in Cleveland just a few
weeks earlier. Hundreds and
hundreds Of women, 1t seemed,
were parading, chanting, and
shouting around the huge con-
vention hall In which the DEM
ocrats were holding their presi-
Dental nominating convention.
This same scene had been per-
formed for the Republicans at
Cleveland 50 that the picketers
were In fine mettle.
-
The picket Zine was composed
of women who during the rest
Of the year were respectable
housewives, teachers, and lead
ers Of various professions and
business enterprises.
These women were agitating for
an equal rights amendment to
the Constitution, an amendment
which would guarantee that "men
and women shall have equal rights
throughout the United States $50"
The picket line was but one
of the many methods by which
the National Woman's Party and
other organizations sought to bring
the case for women before the
political parties and the public.
Many people, including women,
are not sufficiently familiar with
the necessity for doing away with
discriminatory legislation based on
sex, believing that since women
have the right to vote that all
legal inequalities have disap-
peared.
Since both major parties are
shortly to hold their national con-
venti0ns, IL IL timely that atten-
tion be focused ON the agitation
for equal rights. The Unequal
tiles that exist today fall into
two main categories: first, wo-
mans marital status and, sec
only, w0man's economic status as
controlled by legislation.
In the great majority Of states
community property and the wife's
earnings are subject to the man.
agement and control Of the hus-
band. Even though community
property may have ben acquired
solely by the wife, II Is solely
within the husbands control and
disposition.
Even though q wife be sep
arated from her husband, she
must vote from his residence. In
many states a boy between the
age of eighteen and twenty lone
who has married without his par
ent's consent may have that mar
riage annuled because of homage.
But a girl of the same age may
not have hers annulled on the
same grounds.
In some states o married w0-
man cannot engage in business
without her husbands consent.
I'm Florida, for example, mar
ried woman Is forbidden to man
age a business until a court Of
inquiry has studied and passed
upon her competency, she pay
ing costs Of the proceeding.
II Is to offset thousands Of dis
ordinations similar to these that
agitation Is being waged for an
equal rights amendment. Tomor-
row I win discuss equal rights
from aspect Of the working wo-
men.

THE STEWARD:
Unsunq hero Of labor movement

THE RISE OF H CLIO, which has brought organization of
mass production industries, marked a departure in all pre-
vious methods of organizing. The phrase, Rank and File
Control took on meaning and life. The words Steward"
and stewards Council were added to labors dictionary.
Millions of workers were organized by CLIO almost overnight.
The maintenance of membership by these locals i'm the critical
days which followed their organization, is the outstanding accomp-
lshment of the modern labor movement.
IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, labor unions had been
virtually wiped out during periods of industrial crisis. But
the CLIO kept its members, through depression, and under the
most bitter attack.
Hou did the CLIO do this Job, phere the old one1nan
union, run by a business agent, had failed? The Go did
this Job through its ANK-AND-FILE LEADERSHIP.
A broad, democratic leadership was built, a leadership which
could extend into the ranks Of the thousands of workers in giant
plants Such a leadership is the STEWARDS COUNCIL, :
Upon the Steward falls the job of day to day leader
ship, essential in keeping the union together.
Settling grievances, the building of membership and maintain
ing it in good standing, the educational work of the rank and file,
these IN Stewards jobs. The office of Steward is the most i'm
p0rtant position which a local union can bestoW.
Stewards Councils which are being built in Dayton,
particularly those at Delco and F%rigidaire, are becoming
the pride of our international Union. Their record of
achievement in the past year is unsurpassed in the UE.
Annually, the membership of DeIco Products and Frigidaie
elect new Stewards. These elections take place at the beginning
of the year. Each department o r district will select those who
possess qualities of leadership which make them respected among
their fellow workers, those who are the most militant i'm their
efforts to improve the conditions of all
Our National Union is proud of all its Stewards Councils.
1t is these Councils which have given the UE first place
in organizational growth in the labor movement of America,
AFL or Go. We are certain our membership in Delco and
Frigidaire will act to uphold this splendid record.
