Fight Is in Prospect Over Maternity, Infancy Bill

Special to Indiana I>a!ly Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONSTANCE DKEXEL. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—What Is the situation In regard to the bill before Congress said to be backed by more ■women than any other national measure? "Only over my dead body will it get out of my committee*;' Congressman Winslow, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, to which the bill was referred in the lower blanch of Congress, is reliably reported to have declared. Tbongh the dire threat could not be verified, owing to his absence from the city, the words are full of import. For the Massachusetts Congressman is a weighty individual, both literally and metaphorically. He Is the fattest man in Congress, weighing at least 350 pounds, and he has a position of importance^. On the other hand,. Representative Mondell. Republican floor leader, said to

MOT! ON PICT U RES. ''' hr v* An Unwilliilf> Hero Here is another of Will Rogers’s unforgettable characters, this time a lovable member of the genus hobo, the “Whistling Dick,” made famous in/one of O. Henry’s immortal tales. You’ll like “Whistling Dick.” His unfailing good humor, his loyalty to those, who befriended him, and his constitutional horror of work all add to the ('harm of a character that is quite unique in screen portrayals.

the writer, just prior to the congressional recess, “Only a miracle will keep the Sheppard-Towner maternity and infancy bill from passing this session.” So there it is. The facts are,, however, that if Mr. Mondeii’s prediction comes true, speedy work will have to be effected. Though Congress will re- [ convene on Sept. 21, there is a gentlemen’s agreement that the lower branch will do no important business until Oct. 3. At that time the Interstate Commerce Committee will meet again to consider its report on the woman voters’ bill. Hearings were completed some weeks ago, but inquiry at the office oLtbe committee elicited the information that the hearings had not yet gene to the printers. In this delay, women interested in the bill see somebody's hand trying to block the bill. However, inquiry at the women's bureau of the Republican pfrrty headquarters an,cl at the League of Worn- I en Voters, both of which are active in

supporting the bill, made It plain 'hat the wNnen are convinced that they a favorable majority in the interstate committee. The bill passed tho Senate July 22 and they profess every confidence that it will pass the House. ‘‘lf Chairman Winslow said anything about it passing only over his dead body,” was their retort, “somebody will have to commit murder, that’s all.” • • • That the National Capital will welcome the armaments conference by a fitting demonstration on the streets of the city was decided today. At a meeting in the district comnnssioner’s building (the city hall In other cities), Commissioner Rudolph was made chairman of a committee which wil) cooperate with the State department to stage a parade that, will make both the home folk and visiting foreigners “sit up and take notice.” ‘‘lt will be a peace parade with a double purpose—to celeurate Armistice day and to mark the opening of the peace bringing conference.” No trifling matter this. The National Capital wants to stage something that will pass muster with anything any foreign capital could produce. • Plans are only in the embryonic stage, l. ut women will help to make them materialize.
