WOMEN WILL BE CAUSE OF STRICTER LAWS Social Hygiene Board Is Example of Possibilities. Bj CONSTANCE DRKXEI. "WASHINGTON, April 8. “The laws In the United States will become more stringent as time goes on,” is the opinion of Hr. Valera 11. Parker, executive secretary of the United States Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, as she expressed herself in conversation just before leaving her office for San Antonio. Dr. Parker goes to Texas to investigate conditions surrounding the 16,000 soldiers stationed In that State. “By more stringent laws,” she explained, “I do not mean that the morion picture theaters will be closed or that grandfather will be deprived of the comforts of his corncob pipe. That is the way reform is painted by its opponents. But the entrance of the women Into our political life is bound to lead to more stringent laws affecting vice in all forms.” No function of the Federal Government is watched with more earnest attention by women throughout the country than the work of which Dr. Parker is charged with carrying out. Before accepting the position as Uncle Sam's watcher over the young men in the armed branches of the Government service. Dr. Parker was a physician In Hartford, Conn., but she had specialized in social hygiene as a member of the American Social Hygene Association and of the Section of Delinquency of the National Conference of Social Work. Her appointment, to succeed Dr. T. A. Storey, was made about a year ago. Thus she is a member of the solcalled “woman's cabinet”—the term officially applied to about a dozen women holding the highest positions in the Federal Government. Just at present special attention Is being drawn to the United States Social Hygiene Board because the appropriation has not yet been made for the next fiscal year (beginning July 1). After hearing representatives of a number of women's organizations the other day the board voted to request the Department of Justice to include the board in its appropriations or In Its deficiency funds. If this proposal is accepted the board will cease to be an independent commission, but will be in the Department of Justice. The surgeon generals of the 1 rmy, Navy and Public Health Service, and assistant Secretaries of the Treasury, War and the Navy are members of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, but they only meet every three months. Hence the t tcutlve secretary, Dr. Parker, is the active head. Dr. Parker gave the writer the following facts: “Information gathered by the board has resulted in closing eighty-three red light districts In the last tfiree yerrs. The Army venereal rate has cut from ninety to sixty-two. In one > ise. at a southern camp city it drops c . from 199 to twenty-seven. Several hundred cities have staged clean-up campaigns. Based on the Army cost of hospitalization, about $1,000,000 has been saved ihe Government, at a cost of $225.000 —as a result of this “disease prevention rather than cure work.” The country is divided into nine districts, each in charge of a supervisor. There are forty-five field agents, mostly in charge of an office where the Navy and Army bases and camps are located. But, though the efforts of the board are limited by Congress to the soldiers and sailors in active service, women's organizations which are anxious that those efforts continued unabated, know the Influence is felt In the entire population. Moreover, as in the case of New Jersey, where Governor Edwards signed the model vice repressive measure on March 27. the local agent of the Inter-Depart-mental Social Hygiene Board can help to obtain necessary laws from State legislatures.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

After eight years of married life, MARK SABRE gradually realizs that he Is neither understood by his prosaic and snobbish wife MABEL, nor by his colleagues In the firm of Fortune, East and Sabre. A promised partnership in the business has been denied him and promised to TWYNING, a Jealous associate. Suddenly an old sweetheart. NONA, now the wife of dashing Lord Tybar, returns after two years of travel. ..Mabel becomes suspicious when Nona writes Sabre an Informal invitation to visit her. PARTTWO CHAPTER 111—Continued "An invitation? Whyever didn't she write me?” “Whyever'' again!—"May I ste it?” He took the letter from his pocket and handed it to her. “It's not exactly an invitation —not formal.” ..She did what he called "flicked" the letter out of its envelope. He watched her reading It and In his mind he could see as perfectly as she with her eyes, the odd, neat script; in his mind he read It with her, word by v ord. Dear Marko—-We’re back. We've be<-:, been from China to Peru—almost. Coma up one day and be bored about it. How are you? NONA. His thought was: “Damn the letter!" Mabel handed it hack, without returning it to its envelope. She said, "No, it's not formal.” She snipped three roses with astonishing swiftness—snip, snip, snip! In half an hour the siM.Ho v basket was beautified with fragrant blooms and Mabel thought she had enough. “Well, that's that," said Sabre as they re-entered the morning room. 111. She took up a creamy rose and snipped off a fragment of stalk over the saucer. “Why does she call you 'Marko'?” ITo was utterly taken aback. If the question had come from any one hut Mabel, he would have quite failed to connect It with the letter. But here had distinctly been an “incident" over the letter, though so far closed, as he had imagined, that he was completely surprised. He said. “Who? Nona?" “Yes. Nona, if you like. Lady Tybar." “Why, she always has. You know that." Mabel put the rose into a specimen vase with Immense care and touched a speck off its petals with her fingers. “I really didn’t." “Mabel, you know you do. You must have heard her.” “Well. I may have. But long ago. I certainly didn’t know she used it in letters.” He felt ho was growing angry. “What on earth's the difference?” “It seems to me there's a great deal of difference. I didn't know she wrote you letters.” He was angry. “Damn it, she doesn't write me letters.” She shrugged her shoulders. “You seem to get them, anyway." Maddening! And then he thought, "I'm not going to let it be maddening. This is just what happens.” lie said. "Well, this is silly. I've known her—we've known one another —for years, since we were children, pretty well. She’s called me by my Christian name since I can remember. Y'ou must have heard her. We don’t see much of her—perhaps you haven’t. I thought you had. Anyway, dash the thing. What does it matter?” "It doesn't matter’’—-she launched a flower into a vase—“a bit. I only think it’s funny, that’s all." “Well, it’s just her way.” Mabel gave a little sniff. He thought it was over. But it wasn't over. “If you ask me, I call it a funny letter. You say your Christian name, but It isn't your Christian name—Marko! And then saying. 'How are you?' like that ” "Like what? She just said it, didn’t she?” , “Yes, I know. And then 'Nona.' Don’t j you call that funny?" “Well, I always used to call her 'Nona.' She'd have thought it funny, as you call It, to put anything else. I tell you it's just her way.” "Well. I think it’s a very funny way and I think anybody else would think so. I don't like her. I never did like her.” He thought. “My God, this bickering! Why don't I get out of the room?”

“Como back for a day off with me! It's a funny thing you came hack Just in time to get that letter! Before it waa delivered! There! Now you know!” He was purely amazed. He thought, and bis amazement was such that, characteristically, b!s anger left him; he thought: “Well, of all the—" But she otherwise interpreted his ast tonishment. She thought she had made an advantage and she pressed it. "Perhaps you knew it was coming?” ' (low on earth could I have known it was coming?” She seemed to pause, to be considering. “She might have told you. You might have seen her.” He said, “As it happens. I did seo her. Not three hours before I came back.” ! She seemed disappointed. Sho said: "I i know you did. We met Lord Tybar." And he thought, “Good lord! Sho was trying to catch me." She went on, “You never told tne you’d met them. Wasn't that funny?” “If you’d Just think a little you’d see there was nothing fnnny about it. You 1 found the letter so amazingly funny that, to tell you the truth. Id had about enough of the Tyhars. And I've had abou. enough of them." "I daresay you hove —with me. Perhaps you'll tell me this—would you have told me about the letter If I hadn't seen you get it?” He thought before he answered and he answered out of hia thoughts. He said slowly, “I—don't—believe —l—would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't because I'd have known perfectly well that you’d have thought It—funny." IV. No answer he could have made could have more exasperated her. “I—don’t—believe—l—would.” Deliberation! Something incomprehensible to her going on In his mind, and as a result of it a statement that no one on earth (she felt), hut he would have made. Anyone else would have said boldly, blustering!}*, “Os course I would have told you about the letter." She would have liked that. She would have disbelieved It and she could have said, and enjoyed saying, she disbelieved it. Or anyone else would hnvo suid furiously, "No, I’m damned if I’d have shown you the letter.” She would have liked that. It would have affirmed her suspicions that there was “something in it,” and she wished her suspicions to he affirmed. It would have been something definite. Something justifiably incentive of anger, of resentment, of Jealousy. Something rhe could understand. She could not express her feelings in “I DON’T LIVE. I JUST GO ON '— SIIE PAUSED—“FLOTSAM." words. She expressed them in action. She arose violently and left the room. The whole of her emotions she put into the slam of the door behind her. The ornaments shivered. A cup sprang off a bracket and dashed Itself to pieces on the floor. CHAPTER IV. i. These events were on a Monday. On the following Thursday Nona cam, to see him ,‘t his office. She stod still immediately she was across the‘threshold and the door closed behind hei\ She was smiling as though she felt htfseif to be up to some lurk.

closed to the press and other delegates at which the presidents may feol free to discuss their special problems, find fault with the national or object to the activities of the local leagues.

; “Hullo, Marko. Don’t you hate me for j coming in here like this?” j “It's Jolly surprising.” | “That's another way of saying It. Now | If you’d said it was surprisingly Jolly! Well, shake hands, Marko, and pretend you’re glad.” He laughed and put out his hand. But sho delayed response; sho first slipped | off tho gauntlets sha was wearing and then gave him her hand. “There!" she ! said. j "There!” It was as though sho had [ now done something she much wanted to do; as one says “There!" on at last alt- | tine down after much fatigue, j She tossed her gauntlets on to a chair. She walked past him toward the window. I "You got my letter?" | "Yes.’’ j Her face was averted. Her voice had I not the bantering note with which she | had spoken at her entry. "Y< u never answered it.” "Well, I'd Just seen you—Just before I got it.” She was looking out of the window. "Why haven’t you been up?” “Oh—l don’t know. I was coming.” “Well, I had to come,’ sho said. He made no reply. He could think of none to make. 11 i She turned sharply awsy from the window and came towards him,'radiant again, as at her entry. "Wall, I like you best when you’re thinking. Y'ou puzzle, don’t yon Marko? You’ve got a funny old head. I believe you live in your old head, you know. Puzzling things. Clever beast! I wish I could live in mine.” And she gave a note of laughter. "Where do you live, Nona?" ' "I don’t live. I Just go on”—she pnused—“flotsam.” Strange word to use, strangely spoken! It seemed to Sabre to drop with a strange, detached effect into the conversation between them. His habit of visualizing Inanimate things caused him to see as it were a pool between them at their feet, and from the word dropped into it, ripples that came to his feet upon his margin of the pool and to her feet upon hers. He took the word away from its personal application. “I believe that’s rather what I was thinking about when you came, Nona. About how we Just go on—flotsam. Don’t you know on a river where it's tidal or on the seashore at the turn, the mass of stuff you seo there, driftwood and spent foam and stuff, Just floating there, uneasily, brought in ami left there—from somewhere; and then presently the tide begins to take it and it’s drawn off and moves away and goes —somewhere; Arrives and floats and goes. That’s mysterious, Nona?” (Continued in Our Next Issue.

WHAT IT'S ALE ABOUT. Should marriage limit individual freedom? This bride and groom think not. The bride has recently exercised her lib-erty-loving principles to buy a pearl necklace she couldn't afford. My five most intimate girl friend? lunched with me today. They were simply wild about my pearls. Jeanne Alison offered to buy them. Said sho would give me twice what I paid. As my college roommate Jeanne takes advantage of her privileges. I was tempted for a minute, but I didn’t let her have them. They are my first purchase as a wife. I paid for them the first money my husband gave me. I mean to keep them forever. I'll have them hurled with me. “Twenty-five dollars!" drawled Bonny Tearle, Incredulously. "They look to me like $20,000!" Her verdict settled the case. Bonny’s opinion about dress and luxuries Is final with us girls. Bonny has things such as only a newly rich millionaire father can buy. Bonny has gazed on pearls at Palm Beach and tho Riviera and in the best New Y'ork and Paris shops.

Jeanne Alison fixed my flowers, but they looked clumpy and I didn't dare to rearrange them! And Bonny stilted the salad too much! And I had already spoiled the soup! So my first lunhceon nearly was a failure! I had planned to serve Just a few things, quite In the present fashion, dainty, delicions, elegant things, chicken consomme first. I spent half of yesterday preparing my chicken broth. It was my Initial experiment In soup making. I followed the cook book faithfully, using cold water, simmering for hours, etc. Then, according to directions, I set It in the refrigerator over night so that tho fat would harden on top and not a drop of grease remain to float concpleuously as an advertisement of my Ignorance. “Strain it!" said the cook book. And this morning I strained It. But all the time I was wondering whether to wear my pearl beads, Suddenly I found myself wandering about my kitchen with the dripping strainer In my hand and wondering what to do next. With a shock I came to, There was nothing to do next I I had poured my precious chicken conpomrne down the kitchen sink!—Copyright, 1922. (To Be Continued.) SHOULD HAVE BOYS' CHORUS Training Will Improve Morals and Voices, Says Speaker. Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter spoke at the May Wright Sewell Council luncheon given at the Claypool Hotel Friday afternoon recalling her vacation of two years ago. when she visited iu Utah. At this time a hoys’ chorus was making a tour through the State. This chorus had been made up of the less fortunate boys. At the time she hoped someone in Indianapolis would start such a chorus, but this was her first opportunity to speak of it before a group of people. This chorus not only trained the voices, but it uplifted the physical being and morals of these boys, because they had to pledge not to smoke cigarettes nor to be profane in any way. Following her appeal for a boys’ music master, Mrs. McWhirter gave a toast to Isabell Thoburn, who was one of the first women missionaries who answered her brother’s call and went with him to teach the children of foreign countries. Also she gave a toast to Lucy Stone, who was the only woman in her graduating class from college. Tho president asked her to pick out a man to read her essay.
