LORD ASTQR IS HIGHLY PRAISED AS MODEL HUSBAND FOR WOMAN IN PUBLIC LIFE

Held as Example tor Men Who Condemn Wife’s Work May Be Asked to Conduct School to Teach Husbands of Busy Women How to ' Deport Themselves.

BT CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, May 9.—Lord Astor may be asked to conduct- a school for husbands, if plans of certain women prominent in public life prevail. "If I can possibly manage it, 1 am going to inveigle my husband into a trip to Chicago when the Astors are there on the 15th," declared one woman, who is a national officer In the League of Women Voters and high in the councils of one of the dominant political part es, just before boarding the train her her home in Indiana. “Would you believe it? - ’ she expostulated, “the whole time I've been East, in Baltimore and in Washington, my husband has been Jn hiding, as it were, in Hot Springs. Nothing would Induce him to come see me perform in public, although my mother and bi 9 two sisters came East to help me. “But as for my husband, the more public attention I get the more he sulks. He certainly reeds a lesson from Lord Astor. and I am going to arrange, if possible, this trip if necessary, so that my husband may learn a thing or two by meeting Nancy Aster's husband In Chicago.” , Truth to tell. Lord Astor has become the model husband for all the' married women doing things “on their own.” j who met him and heard him during the] convention days in Baltimore and Wash- j ington. Perhaps his ears are not burn- j ing down there in the calm of Virginia. , but they should be. because he is the; subject of conversation not only among ! the married women politically inclin -!, i but among the unmarried ones whose il- I luslons of marital happiness the perfect j example of the Astors h#s once agaiu In- . flamed. The women prominent In the P in- j American conference and League of Wo- i men Voters’ convention, just closed, were: largelv women prominent in public life, j Most of them are married.

CHAPTER XV — Continued. Again one of those agonizing waits, racking to the two men whose future depended largely upon the happenings atop the range. Far on the other side, j fighting slowly upward, was a freight train loaded with the necessary materials of a large sawmill: “Guess it's all off,'' came at last. "The general superintendent in lenver‘s on the jyifieT Says to back up everything ■to Tollifer. including the plows, and give up the ghost.” “Give it up?'' Houston stared blankly at the telegrapher. “But that's not railroading:” "I know. I'll call Denver.” He turned to the key and hammered doggedly. Only soggy deadness answered. The line was gone: CHAPTER XVI. “It'd take a guy with a diving suit to find some of them wires, I guess," the operator hazarded, as he finally ceased his efforts and reached for his coat anl hat and snowshoes. "There ain't no use staying here. Yon fellows are going to sleep in town tonight, ain't you ?” There was little else to do. They fought their way to the rambling boarding house. Morning brought no relief. The storm wai worse, and they faced drifts waist high at the doorway. Two hours later, the agent once more at hla dead key, Ba'tiste turned to Houston. “Eet Is no use here,” he annon-.ced. “We must get to camp and assemble the men to help those who are not fox .-.nate. There Is death in this storm.” Again with their waist-belt guide lines they started forth, to bend against tht storm in a struggle and at last to react, the squat, snowed in buildings of camp. There, Ba'tiste assembled the workmen In the bnnkhouse. "There are greater things than this now.” he announced. “We want the strong men—who will go hack with us to Tabernacle, and who will be willing to take the risk to help the countryside. Eet is the danger ahead. How many of you will go? One after another they reached for (heir snowshoes, silent men who acted, rather than spoke. Guide lines were affixed. Huddled, clumsy figures of White, one following the other, made the gruelling trip back to Tabernacle. Already the reports were beginning to come in. brought by storm Weakened. blizzard battered men. of houses where the roofs had crashed b° neath the weight of snow, of lost ranchmen. of bawling cattle, drifting before the storm—to death. It was the beginning of a two-weeks’ S’ege of a white inferno. The whole world was one great, bleak thing of dreary white—a desert in which there was life only that there might be death, where the battle for existence continued only as a matter of instinct. And over this bleak desert went the men of the West country, silent, frostburned men. their lips cracked from the cut of wind, their eyes blood red with Inflammation, struggling here and there with a pack of food upon their backs that they might reach some d**so late home where there were women and children: or stopping to pull and tug at a snow-trapped steer and by main effort drag him Into a barren spot where the sweep of the gale had kept the ground fairly clear of snow. A two-inch crust of snow formed over the main snowfall, pendltting small sleds to be pulled behind struggling men : the world beneath had been frozen In. to give place to anew one above.. And with that: “It' onen! It's open'.” The shout came from the lips of the telegrapher, waving his arms as he ran from the tunnel that led to the station hnn> "It's open! I've had Rawlins on the wire 1” •Rawlins?” Houston had edged for ward. "There's not a chance. Get Denser on the wire. Then take this message to every newspaper in the city: “'Can't you help us? Please try to start campaign to force Cres line Road to open the Pass. Women and children are starving h"re. We have been cut off from the rest of the world for two weeks. We need food and coal. Road will not be open for four or five

candidates for the Minnesota and Oregon Legislatures, respectively. Rut not a single husband was present. Nor Is this example of the aloofness if husbands, where women in pollti s are concerned, an exception. Last wiufer, one of the four women appointed to tlie advisory board of the armament conference besought her husband in vain to come to Washington. He took to his hunting camp in the woods instead. And as for another one of the women, h*T husband remained safely ensconced In Wall street whUe she was on the staje here. But what a difference in Lord Astor, the women are complaining. The more his wife was applauded, the more he beamed. "I see that you approve the choice 1 made when I married her,” was his attitude. And seeing him modestly watching her from the wings, the audience would <jsll. "Lord Astor:” meaning that they wanted to meet him and hear him speak, too. And then it was that Lord Astor made a .hit equally as great as his wife's, not only with the women but with the me-n as well. That Was the opinion of tile National Press Club, where they both spoke, and there Is no more critical or cynical body of men than the Washington correspondents. If they thought Lord Astor was a real man. who doesn't have to shine in the reflected glory of his wife, but cun compete In brain and brawn anywhere amnog men. that settles it. Therefore, it is that rhnugn Lady Astor may have given the League of. Nations a boost and said many a good word for women in politics. her test contribution Is that husband of hers. Many of the women who stood tn the receiving line with her here and in Baltimore will be in Chicago when she speaks for the League of Women Voters on the 15th, under the guidance of Mrs. James Morrison. They are already send 1 ing forward word of Lady Astor s great success, but their most urgent message read s: “Tel! the women voters who want to help clean up politics, yet lead a perfect home life, to tiring their hu-nands. Lord and Lady Astor arc an unimpeachable example if the happiness that good comradeship and teamwork between man and wife will accomplish.”

They've taken up the fight I” The snows still swirled, the storms still came and went. During this period of uncertainty Houston met Ba'tiste Renaud, returning from the lake region, to find him raging. 'ls ‘eet that the world is all unjust ’’ he roared. I am the mad enough to tear them apart!” "Who; What’s gone grong?” “Ahl I pass today the Blackburn mill.

They had given, that the rest <f the coun’ry might not suffer. Their enemies had worked on, fired with the new hope that the maehln . ery necessary to carry out Houston's i contract would not arrive in time. A shout had come from ’be distance. Faintly through the sifting snow they could see figures running. Then the words came: j “They're going to open the road: ; They're going to open the road'." A message bearer came from the St£- ; tlon. “It's the M. P. A- S. L. According to the message, the papers hammered rh ■ stuffing out of the Crestline road.

Crepe for Beaches Every sort of material Is being used for swimming suits this season, from gingham and cretonne among the cottons, to velvet and Canton crepe. Os course Jersey, both wool and silk, will make many bathing costumes, while taffeta and satin will form many more, if the Pulls worn at Palm Beach are an authentic Indication. At first thought, crepe may seem rather a thin and clinging fabric from which to fashion a bathing suit which is expected to get wet. But il is delightfully light, even when wet, as wool never Is, and the beauty .f it is that If is dry two mlu.-. tttes after the swimmer is out of the water with warm sunshine and a brisk breeze blowing.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

MENDELSSOHN CHOIR EARNS HIGH PRAISE Encores were demanded repeatedly from Mine. Margaret Mntzenuuor anti tiie Mendelssohu choir Monday night at Its spring concert. The program given in thlg concert was one of the best that the choir has presented. Tnls gr tup of 140 voices is an established institution which presents to Indianapolis the finest of choral singing and local solo artists. It is conducted by Perceval Owen and accompanied by Mrs. Owen. Combined with a beautiful personality that would hold any audience, liuie. Matzer auer. the assisting arti-t. stands alone In the world of singers. Her perfect control and enunciation, her Inter pretativc ability, with the power behind them, places her in a class by herself, in her first three numbers, “Care Solve,” Handel. “Cradle Song." Mozart, and the aria “Lietl Signor," from "Les_ Hug"nots,” Meyerbeer, site held her audience as in a trance, and "My Heart at Thy Dear Voice.” from "Samson and Delilah.” as an encore, brought forth Increased applause. In her second group she gave “Sandman'' and “Spring Night” by Schumann, ami tiie solo parts of "Three Kings," Cornelius. The powerful, clear and melodious solo part stood out \Vell against the well developed chorus under the command of Mr. Owen. The power of the chorus was given in Psalm OXXXVII (a five-part chorus), which added praise to their work. The perfect control of tho chorus and the instantaneous Response to each and every part was greatly appreciated. Mendelssohn's Fsolm XIII brought the climax of the program, with Mine. Matzenauer singing with the same quality as expressed In her solo parte. George Vanse of New York accompanied Muie. Matzenauer tn her solo parts, and to him much credit is due. An organization like the Mendelssohn Choir, of such worth and beauty. Is well deserving of the highest trihut", and praise was given it Y“ndny night. Other numbers on the program by the chorus were "Hymn so Music" (sevenpart chorus), Dudley Buck: "Adorntnus te” (sacred motet >, Palestrina; ‘/Bpinning Chorus” from the "Flying Dutchman.'' Wagner, for women's voices, and "Night Witchery,” Storch, for men’s voices.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy both smiled, "You are busy ail the time, aren't you, Helen Honeybee ? “Almost all the time!” Helen Honeybee replied. Then as she had her little yellow basket filled to the top with honey ar.d could get no more in it, she hung It upon a petal of the flower and sat down facing the two liaggedys. "A very funny thing happened the other day!" said Helen Honeybee as she wiped her hands upon her apron so as not to get honey tn her bnlr when site began combing it.

and Just elected to the newly created office of third vice president of the national league, will be one of the banquet features in Thursday evening. Mrs Jacobs' speech at the national convention in Baltimore was one of the seusutions of the convention, and since that time the committee has been trying to secure her for Indiana. A wire just received announces that she will be able to reach Lafayette Thursday. The League of Women Voters of Birmingham, under Mrs. Jacobs’ able leadership. managed a complete reversal of city government control and conducted an extraordinary campaign against the ( city vice ring. It was a woman's fight conducted alone unusual lines with remarkable results. To hear the story from pretty Mrs. Jacobs with her eharmIn Southern accent and clear Southern voice gives anew idea of what Southern women as voters may develop into, j The work assigned to the third vice president for the year Is the department of State legislation. Mrs. Jacobs and her assistants will be ready to go - when needed to the different Slates to help In the State legislative campaign of the league. Indiana is probably the first to lcmr this remarkable story and to gain new impetus for more efficient government through the Initiative and resourcefulness displayed by this group of southern women. Mrs Jacobs comes from a one-party f stale and a city governed by the oolite mission form of government, but reforms secured, as she tells it. are such as women could secure anywhere and under any form of government.

Infected and enlarged tonsils are great little helpers to disease. They make the child susceptible to diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough. The constant trouble, physicians find. Is that people wokild rather allow their children to suffer from diseased tonsils than have them undergo the oi>eratlon necessary to remove them. Rather than undergo operations people will risk disease and death. Adenoids are the tonsils’ colleagues in infection. They are a small soft, reddish growth which comes tn the bark of tiie throat, where the nose and throat -join. A child having them will l>e a mouth breather, have frequent colds and constant earache or become deaf. Adenoids dull the expression, destroy the resonance of the voice and distort the facian expression so as to produce a blank, idiotic stare. They hinder mental development by interfering with proper physical development. Both adenoids and enlarged tonsils can be remeved at the same time by a simple and practically harmless operation.
